Hey people. Time for the prologue of Unlimited 1/2.

Now before we start a few things.

This story is inspired by "Ben 10: Unlimited" by 'The Incredible Muffin'. Many people have probably already read that story so the premise shouldn't be too off. If you haven't read it then I suggest you read it. It's a '10 out of Ben'. Pardon the quote from Death Battle.

This story takes place after the main 'Ranma 1/2' story and during the Thanagarian Invasion when the League is imprisoned.

I do not own either the DC Universe or Ranma 1/2.

Well I've rambled on long enough. Enjoy.

Demon God.

Ocean.

On a supply ship heading to Hob's Bay, many didn't notice a stowaway in the cargo section of the boat.

Squeezed in between two crates was the lone body of a young martial artist.

Ranma Saotome.

Ranma Saotome was a Martial Artist of the Saotome School of Anything Goes Martial Arts. Raised by his father, Genma Saotome, Ranma spent fourteen years of his life learning various forms of Martial Arts so Ranma would be a worthy heir to the Saotome School, and all since the age of two. Everything was going swimmingly until his father took him to the Cursed Springs of Jusenkyo located in China. Though they came to train, they became victims of the curses belonging to Jusenkyo. Ranma's father was cursed to become a Giant Panda while Ranma was cursed to become a girl.

Even while cursed, Genma still took Ranma back to Japan to get engaged to a daughter of Genma's best friend and head of the Tendo Dojo of Anything Goes Martial Arts, Soun Tendo. Ranma became engaged to Akane Tendo, Soun's youngest daughter and the only Martial Artist among his offspring.

It had been a long time since then, but Ranma was able to make things work out between him and the blue haired tomboy. Though they didn't openly show their affection, the two decided to hold their second try for a wedding after the two graduated high school in two years. Things were looking grand.

But right now, Ranma was thinking nothing but dark thoughts.

'Why?" was all Ranma thought as Ranma ignored the rocking 'Why can't I die?!'.

Normally, Ranma Saotome was a strong warrior with an unbreakable spirit, but seven months ago, everything changed.

It was a normal day in the Nerima Ward of Tokyo, Japan. The Tendo Dojo had an air of peace around it. Ranma remembered that scene clearly. Akane was sitting at the table with her older sister Nabiki across from her while Ranma's rival Ryoga Hibiki was sitting on her lap in his piglet form. His father and Uncle Tendo were sitting outside playing Shogi, and Akane's oldest sister Kasumi was in the kitchen cooking lunch with Ranma's mother Nodoka. Happosai, the Grandmaster of the Anything Goes Martial Arts, Genma and Soun's teacher, and the only other member of the household missing, was currently out. No doubt doing something involving harassing women.

Ranma was about to sit down, both to wait for lunch and enjoy Ryoga's desperate attempts to wiggle out of Akane's grasp. Ranma remembered that the lost boy had a date with Akari Unryu that day and was no doubt trying to escape to the nearest source of hot water. But before Ranma could sit down, a Chinese Carrier Pigeon of all things flew in with a letter addressed to Ranma. The letter stated for Ranma to go to the local train station to meet a messenger from the Bayankala Mountains of China. Ranma immediately knew that meant it was someone from the Musk Dynasty, an ancient clan of warriors with the blood of fierce animals running through their veins. Ranma had previously been involved in a conflict with the head of the Musk, Herb, and feared that this messenger meant trouble. So Ranma left to confront this new problem. Akane would have gone with him, but Ryoga had chosen that time to bolt for it and Akane decided to stay to catch her 'pet'.

When Ranma arrived at the train station, he met the Musk Messenger (Who so happened to be a descendant of a falcon) and awaited for what was most likely a challenge from Herb.

But it wasn't a challenge: it was a warning!

A week ago, something came into the Musk's hidden village and attacked the Chinese warriors. Many fell at the hands of the intruder and Herb himself was gravely injured. The beast had escaped and stolen the Pail of Preservation. The Pail was an ancient artifact owned by the Musk that locked Jusenkyo cursed victims in their curse forms. The elders of Musk deduced that the creature was heading towards Nerima, which housed the largest group of Jusenkyo victims.

Ranma couldn't remember what happened next when an explosion suddenly boomed in the air as a fierce fire rolled over. Ranma's body instinctively ran back towards the Tendo Dojo before his mind could catch up. Even at top speed, the Tendo Dojo was still several minutes away. With each passing second, Ranma's head was filled with thoughts of terror. Every step gave an increasing sense of dread. Ranma ignored everything from the fire surrounding him to the screaming people running away. When Ranma arrived at the Tendo Dojo-

Ranma's eyes clenched shut as hard as they could. Ranma couldn't even recall that gap in time, only remembering burning red every time her thoughts dwell on that moment.

The next thing Ranma knew, that 'thing' was standing over Ranma, the Pail of Preservation in it's hand. Ranma's mind was too scattered to collect her thoughts as the cold water drenched her broken form.

It stared at Ranma, seemingly enjoying the mentally broken look on her face.

Then it left.

It left Ranma alone with the broken bodies of Ranma's friends and family.

After that, Ranma met up with the only survivor of that beast's direct attack. Cologne, the elder of the Chinese Amazons and Great Grandmother to Shampoo, Ranma's former fiance. She told Ranma of what had happened after he left. A giant explosion had drawn the Amazons to the Tendo Dojo where they confronted that thing. They were too late to help Ranma's parents or the Tendo's. The amazons attacked the beast, where they were joined by Happosai, the Kuno's, and Ukyo, who were likewise drawn in by the explosion. It was futile. The beast played with them as it took it's time killing Shampoo, Mousse, Ukyo, Tatewaki, and Kodachi. Happosai and Cologne were the only ones that could actually stand against it, but even they stood no chance against their foe. The thing had killed Happosai and was about to crush Cologne when Ranma arrived.

Cologne advised Ranma to avoid confronting that thing for a rematch, but Ranma wouldn't have any of that. The elder saw she wouldn't have any chance of stopping Ranma, so she advised Ranma to head to Jusenkyo first to obtain the Pot of Liberation, the second half of the Pail of Preservation and the only thing capable of breaking the lock on Ranma's male form. After Ranma's fight with Herb, the Musk delivered the Pot to the Jusenkyo Guide for safe keeping.

It would take a month for Ranma to get back to China, her body still injured and her mind unbalanced.

But when she arrived at Jusenkyo, IT was there. IT knew Ranma would try to challenge it again! IT knew Ranma would need the Pot of Liberation!

As Ranma and IT faced off, IT killed the Guide right in front of Ranma and smashed the pot in It's hands. With nothing left to loose, Ranma charged IT. But Ranma was no match. With a weaker body, still healing injuries, and a severely broken mind, Ranma was all but doom.

Ranma's body was all but mangled when that thing picked her up by her pigtail. It just looked at Ranma as it held her before throwing her far away, landing in one of few springs actually barricaded off.

THAT, was when things changed.

As surprisingly calculating as that THING was, it didn't control the whole game stage.

As Ranma's body slowly sunk into whatever spring she landed in, her body suddenly glowed. As her body changed, so did her mind. Her anger, dimming from both failure and near death, had reignited itself. Her anger before was like a volcano. Now it was like that of a supernova.

Letting anger control her body, she arose out of the water and sprung upon her opponent.

Ranma shook her head as she drove the thought out of her head.

Ranma's gloomy eyes looked down at her right hand. She still remembered the sensation of knuckles cracking bone.

"What am I?" Ranma asked herself again.

Ranma looked over to the right, looking at the metal crate as she reinspected her new features.

Her overall appearance wasn't different from her usual female appearance. But there were some give aways of change.

First off, her ears were replaced with long animal ears covered in red fur. (Think of Ratchet's ears from Ratchet and Clank and recolor them red)

Secondly, she now had a long red tail nearly as long as her. The hair was bushy like a fox's, but the tail itself was flexible like a monkey's.

Thirdly, her finger and toe nails were pointed and sharp. Nothing too major there.

And lastly, her eyes had changed from blue to green.

Ranma just stared at her new little features as she recollected her thoughts about after getting recursed.

After destroying that thing, Ranma met up with Plum, the Jusenkyo Guide's daughter.

Plum, though devastated by the death of her father, was able to tell Ranma of what she had become and why the spring she fell in was closed off.

Incredibly, despite her only slightly new appearance, she had fallen into the 'Nishui Moshen Zhi-Quan' or 'Spring of Drowned Demon God'. Legends tells that 1,000 years ago, back when humans and demons roamed the land together, a powerful Demon God had attempted to conquer the world of man that God created. The growing power of said Demon God attracted the attention of many deities of all sorts. Fearing the demon's power, the gods had the demon struck down by holy lightning. The demon had happened to be flying over Jusenkyo when it was attacked, so it's body fell into the land of cursed springs, thus adding to the cursed springs.

Ranma was dumbstruck that such a powerful curse actually existed in Jusenkyo, but the news Plum gave her afterwards overwrote surprise with grim dread.

The Spring of Drowned Demon God was permanent.

Unlike humans or animals, demons were a different sort. The things involving demons were not an exact science. For whatever reason, those that fell into said spring couldn't switch between forms through hot and cold water. Instead, it merges forms.

Thus Ranma was now a 'Female' Demon God.

And for an unexplained reason, separate curse springs won't affect the bodies of those touched by the Demon God Spring. Ranma had tested that theory by jumping into the Spring of Drowned Man and coming up still a Demon girl. She had tried several times. Nothing.

With nothing left to do, Ranma took Plum to the only place in China Ranma knew well: The Amazon Village.

Dropping Plum off to Cologne (Who had arrived in China after Ranma), Ranma was offered a home with the amazons, but it was too painful to settle so quickly. Free of any obligation, Ranma set off to wander.

For several days, Ranma was a ghost. She showed no emotion, she didn't settle anyplace.

She had lost everything.

Her family.

Her friends.

Her home.

Her Masculinity.

Her Humanity.

...Akane.

After those first few days, Ranma couldn't take it anymore.

She had to end it.

Finding the nearest waterfall in the wilderness, she allowed the water to take her over the fall.

But instead of going splat, her body broke whatever rocks she fell on without getting a scratch.

That was six months ago.

For six months, Ranma has been trying one way or another to end her life. But nothing she tried could end her new demonic life.

While not trying to kill herself, she had been looking over her new body and the powers that came with it.

First off, her strength had increased a thousandfold. She was now leagues above anyone she'd known in terms of strength.

Not only was she stronger now, she was faster too. She could probably cover a mile or two in a matter of seconds now.

She had also grown an amazing durability. Ranma's skin was harder than diamonds and her bones were most likely even tougher. That would of been good if it wasn't for the fact she was trying to kill herself.

And even if she could wound herself, her new healing factor wouldn't let her die. In the few instances she could harm herself, her wounds would instantly heal. That went for inner healing too. Illnesses and poisons had no effect on her anymore.

Her senses have also risen. Her eyesight and hearing have improved to a hundred, but her sense of smell skyrocketed. Although she wished she was nose blind after discovering all the acute things one can smell.

While she had many increases in her psychical abilities, she had gain many new tricks she would keep to herself.

But while many would be thrilled to have such amazing powers, Ranma wasn't.

For one, she was trying to kill herself and her powers were only keeping herself from that.

And two, Ranma wasn't the type to just receive power. She was the type to train for power. Just suddenly getting these powers felt unearned.

Powers aside, Ranma had found trying to kill herself more futile than one would think. So about a week or two ago she had decided to halt trying to kill herself. Right now Ranma decided to just travel around. A few days ago she stowed away on a ship. Where it's going, she didn't care.

"..." Ranma sighed to herself as she looked at her reflection "So what now Ranma?"

WO~OO!

Ranma tilted her head up as she heard the sound of the ship's horn.

Using a combination of her new speed and the Umi-Sen Ken technique, Ranma slipped out of the cargo room as she slipped past the unsuspecting workers until she made her way outside.

Taking in a breathe of fresh air, Ranma hopped off the boat as she landed on the pier of Hob's Bay, located at the edge of Metropolis.

Prologue finished!

Poor Ranma. I didn't think writing all this down would hurt more than thinking of it

But now that that stab in the heart is past, time to answer some questions.

The thing that killed Ranma's loved one will remain unspoken in the story until much later. Till it's revelation, it's only going to be referred as 'that', 'it', or 'the beast'.

The reason I chose Ranma to become a Demon God. At first I was considering for her to be cursed as a Kryptonian, but I decided it be more interesting to make her something original. The choice to make her a demon came from inspiration from the demons you see in other anime like Inuyasha or Yusuke from Yu Yu Hakusho.

Now despite being called a Demon God, she can't do any crazy divine stuff or bend reality. The title god just means she's the strongest type of demon.

Is Demon God Ranma stronger than Superman or Wonder Woman? No. Ranma right now is strong, but not pull planets strong. If I have to put it on a scale of 1 to 10, than Superman is a 10 and Wonder Woman is an 8 while Ranma is a 6. Likewise Flash is leagues faster than her.

If it wasn't obvious, I have Ranma 1/2 and the DC Animated Universe take place in the same universe. This is different from it's inspiration, which is the main character going to the Justice League Universe.

Next time, Starcrossed.
