Hello. This is Wolfdude16 with a special news update. This is a crossover between Ranma and Kid Icarus! This is special news for me because there are currently no crossovers between these two subjects. I am a huge fan of Ranma, and I've been watching a lot of Kid Icarus videos on Youtube lately. So, once I saw the lack of crossovers between them, I decided to make one of my own.

This story takes place in present day-ish time, About two-thousand years after the end of Kid Icarus Uprising.

Read, review, and have fun!

Disclaimer: Don't own Ranma or Kid Icarus. (Wish I did though)

Spring of drowned Nymph

Chapter One: A Flash of Lightning

It was a dark and stormy evening in Nerima. The kind of storm that makes you think something bad is going to happen soon. But who can say really? Everything seemed peaceful enough despite the storm. Yes, everything was perfectly fine here in Nerima. Except of course for that one street. That one street that was mostly empty except for two very peculiar figures.

One figure was a young girl, only about sixteen years old. Her short blonde hair didn't even reach her shoulders, the tips were a bit orange in color. She wore a short-sleeved red Chinese shirt and black kung fu pants. There were thin, light green vines coming out of her shirt that curled around her arms and stopped at her wrists, giving them the appearance of bracelets. She was also wearing a long blue scarf around her neck. She was carrying a large traveling pack on her back that didn't seem to hinder her movement in the slightest. She had a look on her face that was somewhere between annoyance and anger.

The other figure was much easier to describe. He was a big fat panda. Strangely enough, he was also wearing a large backpack.

Now, in most circumstances, a person would run away in fear at the sight of a large bear, but this was different. The panda was running away from the girl. The panda was moving far faster than any normal human being possibly could, despite his great size. But no matter how fast he ran, the girl still stayed right behind him.

"You've really ticked me off this time pops." The girl said as she ran. "How could you go and pick a fiancé for me without even asking? If I ever get married, I'd like it to be with someone I actually know!" Her speed suddenly increased enough to pass the panda and cut off his path. An evil grin crossed her cute face. "What's the matter? Afraid of a little girl? You know I wouldn't be like this if it weren't for you."

The panda backtracked a bit and ran into an alley, the girl following closely behind him. The two ran out of the alleyway and into a slightly crowded street. The people around them immediately stopped what they were doing and watched the scene with wide eyes. Once again, the girl jumps in front of the panda. "You're not running away this time old man!"

The panda let out some angry growls and tried to strike the blonde girl with his claws. The attacks were far more swift and precise than anyone would expect from a panda. Even so, not one of the hits connected. What happened next surprised everyone even more than they already were. A bolt of lightning came down from the skies and struck the girl directly.

Nobody believed what they were seeing. Not only was the girl unharmed from being struck by lightning, the electricity seemed to cling to her body like a cloak. The static made her scarf levitate around her mysteriously. The panda immediately backed away from her. "Maybe next time you'll think twice about engaging me to some girl I've never even met before!" She leaped into the air and struck the panda in the face with an electrified kick. The panda fell to the ground, motionless.

Satisfied that her prey was down, the girl turned around and walked away, the electricity around her fading away as she did so. Unfortunately for her, the panda was still conscious. Once he was sure the girl wasn't looking, he quietly stood up. His whole body felt numb from the electrical attack, but he still found the strength to tear a stop sign out of the ground and smack the girl in the back of the head with it. She fell to the ground, unconscious. The panda stuck the sign into the ground, picked the girl up, and walked away.

Everyone watching silently agreed it was one big hallucination and went back to their business.

(At the Tendo Dojo)

"Kasumi! Nabiki! Akane! Come quickly, I have some very important news to share with you three!" Came the voice of Soun Tendo, head of the Tendo school of Anything Goes Martial Arts. Before long, all three of his daughters were assembled in the dining room.

"Alright Daddy, we're here. Now what's this 'big news' you want to tell us about?" Nabiki Tendo, the middle sister, asked. "It'd better be important. I was finishing up my homework."

"Yeah, and you interrupted my workout." Complained Akane, the youngest sister.

"I wanted to talk to you about this." He held up a postcard with a picture of a panda eating bamboo on it.

Nabiki took the postcard and read it aloud. "I'm bringing Ranma back from China. See you soon, Genma. Who exactly are these people?"

Soun cleared his throat and then began his tale. "Well, you see, Genma is an old training partner of mine. He is also a practitioner of his own school of Anything Goes Martial Arts. The two of us have been through many hard times together for the sake of the art. When I met your mother, I decided to settle down while Genma continued his journey. Before we parted ways, we made a promise. We promised that if we ever had children of the opposite gender, then we would join the schools through an arranged marriage between them."

"So then, Ranma is his son?" Asked Kasumi, the oldest child.

Akane suddenly slammed her hands on the table. "Wait just a minute! Are you saying one of us has to marry this Ranma guy? We've never even met him! How do we know he isn't just another pervert like the boys from school?"

Nabiki leaned toward her angered little sister. "Don't be so judgmental Akane. You never know, he could be really cute." 'Or rich.' She added in her head as she calculated the amount of money she could get from this.

Kasumi spoke up again. "So, Father, just what is this Ranma boy like?"

"Is he handsome?" Asked Nabiki?

"I hope he's older then me." Kasumi commented absently.

Their father chuckled nervously before answering. "I don't know."

Silence

"You don't know?" Nabiki repeated with a half-lidded stare.

"I've never met him."

More silence

Anymore thoughts about how much of an idiot their father was were cut off by some noise at the front door. "Ooh. That must be Ranma!" Nabiki said.

"Saotome, my friend! We've been waiting!" Soun and Nabiki ran towards the front door to meet their guests.

Kasumi and Akane walked out into the hall to follow them, but they didn't make it anywhere close to the door before their two family members came running back. Following closely behind them was a very large…panda? The animal was carrying a person over his shoulder. He shook the person a few times to get her to wake up.

Before the girl gained full awareness of her soundings, the panda placed her down in a standing position. She shook her head and blinked a few times to get the grogginess out of her head. Once she regained her senses, she realized that four people were staring at her curiously, one man in his mid-forties and three girls in their mid-to-late teens.

She backed away nervously, but the panda nudged her forward. 'Pops is so going to pay for this.' She thought. "Um…hi there."

The man pointed at her with shaking hands. "Y-you wouldn't be…"

"My name's Ranma Saotome. Sorry 'bout this."

"Wow, he's pretty cute." Nabiki commented.

Before anyone else could react, Soun grabbed the blonde girl in a big bear hug. "My son! I'm so glad you've arrived!" He paused in his hug when he felt something round and soft in-between him and the 'boy'. He backed off to take a better look at his guest.

Nabiki leaned forward to inspect their scarf-wearing guest. She stared at the chest area inparticular, even going as far as poking it a few times to make sure.

"Um…could you stop that please?"

Nabiki turned back towards her father. "Ranma's not a boy! 'He' is a girl!"

Soun stared at the girl in shock. "A g-g-girl?" He promptly passed out after muttering this.

(A few minutes later)

Soun slowly woke up to the sound of his eldest daughter. "Poor father, he doesn't seem to be taking this very well."

"He's not the only one!" Nabiki responded angrily. "Some fiancé. Last time I checked, men don't have breasts." She grabbed Ranma's chest for emphasis.

"You know, I'd really appreciate it if you stopped doing that."

"Cut it out Nabiki! He-she is our guest." Akane scolded. She turned away from her sister and looked at Ranma. "I'm going back to the dojo. Wanna come?"

"Okay."

"By the way, my name's Akane. Would you like to be friends?"

Ranma looked unsure, but she eventually smiled and nodded her head. "Yeah, I'd like that."

(In the dojo)

Akane led Ranma into her family's dojo. "You practice martial arts, right?"

"Yeah, a little bit."

"Well, why don't we have a little match then?"

"Um, I'm not sure if that'd be a very good idea."

Akane remained oblivious to the worried tone in her new friend's voice. "Come on, it'll be fun. I promise I won't hurt you."

"Well, I guess it'd be fine if it's just one match."

"Alright then. Let's get started." She took a stance across from Ranma. The blonde girl just stood there with her hands at her sides. "Well? Aren't going to get ready?"

"I am ready." She replied simply.

"Alright. Just don't blame me if you get hurt." She charged at Ranma and gave a weak punch to test her.

She leaned to the right, easily avoiding the weak punch. 'She's pretty fast, but I'm just getting started myself!' She threw another punch, then another, and another, increasing her speed and power until she was just swinging wildly.

Akane lunged forward to strike Ranma in the face, but she effortlessly stepped back. Akane lost her balance and fell forward. She hit the ground with a thud. Ranma looked down at her. "You're pretty clumsy, you know that?"

Akane got up and glared at the girl. "You don't have to point it out so bluntly you know!"

Ranma's eyes widened slightly when she realized what she said. "Oh, I-I'm sorry. Sometimes I get carried away and say things that I don't mean. I didn't offend you or anything, did I?"

The blue-haired girl's face softened. "No it's alright, but I want you to know something."

Ranma leaned forward. "What is it?"

A smirk crossed Akane's face. "Got you!" She struck out with her fist for a surprise attack, but instead of hitting the girl, she hit the wooden wall of the dojo.

She felt a light finger poke the back of her head. "Nope, I've got you.""

Akane turned around to find the blonde girl standing behind her with a playful smirk on her face.

The Tendo girl giggled a bit. "I guess you did." She paused a moment before continuing. "Can I ask you something?"

"Shoot."

"Why do you wear those?" She pointed at the thin vines around Ranma's arms.

"These? I don't really know. They're just decoration."

"I like it. They definitely add to your colorful appearance."

"Yeah, I guess so." She responded. She didn't sound very certain about her 'colorful' look, but once again, Akane didn't notice.

"That was a fun match. I'm glad that you're a girl."

"What do you mean?" She asked with even more uncertainty.

"It's just, I'd really hate to lose to a guy is all."

(A few minutes later)

Ranma followed Kasumi up the stairs. The eldest Tendo girl led her to a spare guest room. "Here Ranma, you can sleep in here while you stay here."

"Thanks, this'll be fine."

Kasumi handed her a towel. "Here, you should take a bath. You must be all sweaty from your workout."

"No, not really." Ranma wasn't very sweaty at all from her sparring match, but she just couldn't turn down Kasumi's motherly tone, so she took the towel and headed towards the bathroom.

Once inside the changing room, she hesitantly removed her Chinese clothes and put them in the laundry basket. Her lack of clothing revealed that the vines around her arms connected below her chest and curled around her lower body to wrap around her right leg. With a snap of her fingers, the vines disappeared. She removed the scarf and stepped into the bathing area.

(In Akane's room)

Akane looked up from the homework she was doing to see Nabiki stick her head into the room. "Hey Akane, Kasumi said you can take a bath now."

Akane smiled at her sister. "Thanks. I'll do that." She stood up and walked downstairs. She collected her towel and spare clothes before she headed to the bathroom. When she stepped into the changing room, she noticed Ranma's clothes in the basket. "Guess we can take our baths together." She didn't take notice of the fact that the blonde girl's scarf wasn't among the clothes.

She opened the door to the bathing area and walked in. "Hey Ranma, I-" She immediately stopped her sentence when she noticed that the person in the furo was not the short blonde girl she had met earlier, but a teenage boy with his black hair in a pigtail. He had been about to get out of the bathtub, but stopped when he saw her walk in, giving her a clear view of his broad, muscled chest.

Without a word, Akane stepped back into the changing room, put her martial arts gi back on, and stepped into the hall. She took a deep breath, and screamed.

She continued screaming as she ran into the dining room. She picked up the dining table and held it over her head. "I'll drown him in the bathtub!"

Nabiki walked into the room and stared at her enraged sister. "What's wrong Akane?"

"There's a pervert in the bathroom!"

"Oh my. I thought Ranma was taking a bath in there. I hope she's alright." Kasumi said in concern.

They were interrupted by a male voice. "Hey there." The three girls looked behind them to see the boy from the furo. He was wearing Ranma's outfit, minus the scarf and vines. "I'm Ranma Saotome. Sorry 'bout this."

(Two minutes later)

The Tendo girls were sitting across the table from their father, an old bald man wearing glasses, and the boy who claims to be Ranma. Akane was glaring daggers at the pigtailed boy, the other two just looked on expectantly.

"Let's start over shall we?" Their father said. He gestured towards the bald man. "This is my old training partner."

"Genma Saotome." The man said. "And this is my son…"

"Ranma." He said.

Kasumi asked the question on everyone's minds. "Are you really her, that girl from before?"

The boy nodded his head. Genma spoke up in a sage-like voice. "It's a long story, where to begin? I think I should start with this." He grabbed Ranma by the front of his shirt and threw him into the Koi pond in the yard. Instead of a black-haired boy with a pigtail popping out, the short-haired blonde girl from earlier popped out. She was wearing the scarf and vines from earlier as well.

The girl cast an annoyed look at Genma, like she was angry but didn't feel like dealing with it right now. She stepped out of the pond and back into the dining room. "You're really pushing your luck pops, you're lucky I don't like fighting much when I'm like this." She sat down with a huff, but didn't make any attempt to get back at her father.

The Tendo girls stared at her in shock. Their father spoke up again. "It was training in china that did this to them. Would you care to tell the story Saotome?"

The bald man nodded his head. "Very well. You see, it all started while me and Ranma were hiking in china, searching for a legendary training ground…"

(Flashback)

Ranma and Genma looked out onto the sight before them. In front of them were dozens upon dozens of small pools of water. Each one had several bamboo poles sticking out of them. All in all, it was a pretty beautiful sight, but the two martial artists didn't come there for the scenery.

As they stepped closer to their destination, a portly Chinese man walked up to them. "Nihao honored customers, this be ancient training grounds, Jusenkyo. There more than one hundred springs here, each one have own tragedy happen there. Not many people use it these days because of how dangerous they are."

Ranma just snorted. "Please, this place doesn't look all that bad."

Genma tossed his traveling pack to the ground. "Are you ready to put your skills to the test Ranma?"

Ranma put his pack down as well. "If I wanted to put my skills to the test, I'd do it with someone better than you."

"Don't get cocky boy! You haven't surpassed me yet, now come on!" He jumped on top of one of the poles, Ranma followed closely behind. Before long, the two were trading blows with each other while keeping their footing on the bamboo.

The Jusenkyo guide was shouting frantically. "Wait Sirs! I no finish my tragic story! Please, very bad you fall in spring!"

Unfortunately, the two were too focused on their battle to pay much attention him. Just then, Ranma got in a lucky strike to his dad's torso, knocking him down into one of the springs below. Ranma looked down at the spring, waiting for his dad to pop out. "Come on Pops, don't tell me we're done already." A large figure leaped out of the water, but instead of his father, a big panda came out and landed on one of the poles. "Ack! What is that thing?" He asked the guide.

"That be Spring of drowned panda. Very tragic story of panda that drown there one-thousand eight hundred year ago. Now, whoever fall in spring, take body of panda." Was his calm response, it was clear by his tone that this wasn't the first time it had happened.

"Hey buddy, you didn't tell us anything about that!" Any more complaints were cut off by his panda father, who used the distraction to knock his son off the bamboo and into another spring.

Ranma felt his body change the moment he hit the water. He became slightly smaller and he felt his long hair shorten to above his shoulders. He could see his bangs change color right in front of his eyes. He felt a piece of fabric suddenly wrap around his neck and some sort of plant wrapping around his right leg and moving up around his body until it split apart and wrapped around his arms.

But what he really noticed wasn't what was happening on the outside, but what was happening on the inside. He felt power. Power like nothing he had ever felt. He felt jolts of electricity surge throughout his body. It felt like a ridiculously high sugar rush.

When he finally popped his head out of the water, he heard the guide speak. "Aiya! That one very special spring you fall in young sir. That be spring of drowned Nymph. Very tragic tale of a Nymph who drowned their one-thousand five hundred year ago."

Ranma looked at him curiously. "What the hell is a Nymph?" She immediately clasped her hand over her mouth at the sound of her own high-pitched voice. He had turned into a girl! 'This is terrible! Just wait until I get my hands on Pops. I'll…I'll…'

"Nymph is a female nature spirit with great divine power. This one's power revolve around lightning. You very lucky sir, most man who fall in that spring die."

Ranma was shocked out of her thoughts by the news that she could've easily died from falling in that spring. That shock turned to anger, anger at the person who had nearly killed her. "Pops…You are so going to pay for this!"

(End Flashback)

Genma was sent flying into the pond by a kick from Ranma.

"I thought you said you didn't like to fight?" Nabiki asked. She looked towards the pond to see a panda pop out of the water. That definitely confirmed the story.

Ranma put her arms behind her head carelessly. "He had it coming, and besides, it's not like I'm a pacifist or anything, I usually just can't bring myself to care."

"Are there any differences between your forms beside your body?" Kasumi asked curiously.

"Well, my personality is a little different. I'm a lot more carefree when I'm like this."

The panda held up a wooden sign with writing on it. [You're also a lot more stuck up!] He was silenced by a powerful jolt of lightning striking the pond. Genma was roasted, but miraculously, the fish were unharmed. Ranma smiled at her successful attack and sat back down at the table.

If the Tendo girls had any doubts about the story before, they certainly didn't now. "That was amazing!" Kasumi exclaimed. "Can you do anything else?"

"Well, I can purify water and make plants grow. Nature related stuff like that."

"Impressive." Nabiki said. 'Just imagine how much money abilities like that will get me.'

Genma walked back into the room with a kettle of water in his paws. He poured it over himself and he instantly became human again. "As you can see, cold water will activate our curses, but hot water will return us to normal until we touch cold water again."

Soun put a hand on Ranma's shoulder. "Well now, your problem isn't so bad after all." He gestured toward his daughters. "These are my daughters. Akane, age sixteen, Nabiki, age seventeen, and Kasumi, age nineteen. Choose whichever one you want to be your wife."

"I think Akane would be the best choice." Said Kasumi.

"I agree completely." Nabiki added.

At this moment, Akane finally snapped. "Now hold on a moment! There's no way I'm marrying that pervert!"

"Just who are you calling a pervert?"

"You saw me naked you perv!"

"Well excuuuse me. Geez, it was just an accident. You don't have to get all bent out of shape over it y'know." She replied nonchalantly.

"See what I mean by stuck up?" Genma asked. He received another jolt of electricity.

"Give me one good reason why I should marry this, this freak!" Akane nearly shouted.

"Because, you hate boys don't you little sis?" Nabiki asked in a cool voice.

"You're in luck, Ranma's half girl." Kasumi said. "Not just a girl, but a nymph too. I've read a lot of stories with nymphs in them. They're said to be only a few steps below gods.."

"I'm not sure if I'm THAT powerful." Ranma said sheepishly. "I mean, my nymph form is a lot more powerful than my normal body. Even when I'm not all charged up, my girl side might be more powerful than my guy side."

"I don't care how tough he is! Just because I hate boys doesn't mean I'll marry him because he turns into a girl! It's perverted!"

"There must be a cure for these curses." Soun said. "Surely there must be a spring of drowned man. Wouldn't that work?"

Ranma shook her head. "No, the guide said the curses mix if you touch more than one spring, and either way, he said it might not even work because I turn into an immortal creature, something about my divine power counteracting the curse, or something like that. Believe me, if I knew about a cure, I would've turned into a bolt of lightning and headed back to china a long time ago."

Akane crossed her arms. "Yeah right! I bet if there was a cure, you turn it down just so you could keep that body you pervert."

Ranma rolled her eyes. "Everything is 'pervert this' and 'pervert that' with you isn't it? I think you're just jealous because I was born a guy and I'm still a better looking girl than you are."

That did it. Akane picked up the dining table again and swung it down on Ranma's head. The Nymph was knocked unconscious for the second time that day.

Kasumi clasped a hand over her mouth. "Oh my! That wasn't very nice at all Akane."

Genma crossed his arms. "The boy had it coming."

(Half an hour later)

Ranma opened her eyes and immediately clutched the back of her head in pain. "Ooh my head. Was hitting me with a table really necessary?"

""He's awake." Came Nabiki's voice.

"Are you feeling okay Ranma?" Asked Kasumi.

Ranma was laying on a futon with a wet cloth on her head. She sat up and nodded. "Yeah, I'll walk it off. What is her problem anyway?"

"Well, Akane is a very…'high-spirited' girl." Kasumi explained.

"Yeah sis, like that explains everything."

"Let's just say she has a low opinion of boys, and hearing a boy mock her like that put her over the edge. You really didn't have to go on and insult her you know."

Ranma looked down in shame. "Sorry, I have a tendency to speak without thinking, especially in this form. I've been trying to keep it under control, but sometimes I just get carried away."

Kasumi looked at her sympathetically. "It's okay, I'll have a talk with Akane, we'll get this resolved, so don't worry to much about it."

"Thanks Kasumi." She got up and left the room after that. She went upstairs to the guest room that she would be staying in. 'Stupid Pops, thanks to him throwing me into the pond, I have to take another bath. Hope the others don't mind.' She grabbed a set of spare clothes and headed back downstairs.

She stepped into the changing room and undressed again. Once again, she snapped her fingers and the vines on her body disappeared. She walked up to the door of the bathing area and opened it. Unfortunately for her, someone from the other side opened it at the same time she did. Even more unfortunately for, that someone happened to be Akane.

Ranma froze up as she tried to think of what to say. "Um…I-I'm sor-"

*Slap!*

Ranma felt the spot where Akane had slapped her. The blue-haired girl got dressed and left without a word.

Ranma silently took her bath and changed back to his human form. Once he was done bathing, he sat down in the living room and told his father what happened. His simply reply was, "So, she's got spunk, that makes her even cuter."

"There's a word for what she is Pops, but 'cute' is definitely not it."

Up in Akane's room, the youngest Tendo told her sisters what happened.

"But you were both girls at the time, so it's alright." Was Nabiki's reply.

"Alright? He walked in on me this time, so there's no excuse. And besides, you're not the one who has to marry that pervert!"

Kasumi looked her youngest sister in the eyes. "Akane, I'm sure it was just an accident. You didn't put the 'Occupied' sign up did you?"

Akane stuttered a bit. "Well, no, b-but he-"

"I know you're not used to putting the sign up since we haven't had guests in so long, but just remember to do it from now on and I'm sure this incident won't repeat itself."

Akane huffed. "Fine, but that doesn't mean I'm forgiving him for being such a jerk!"

Kasumi clasped both of her hands around Akane's. "Listen Akane, I know you're upset about what Ranma said to you, but try not to let it bother you. He has a hard time controlling himself when he's a nymph."

Ranma's words from earlier suddenly crossed Akane's mind. 'Oh, I-I'm sorry. Sometimes I get carried away and say things that I don't mean. I didn't offend you or anything, did I?' "Well, I guess, but…"

"Just try to be nicer around Ranma from now on, okay? Try not to let the things he says bother you."

Akane couldn't find the will to stand up against her sister any longer. "Okay Kasumi, I'll try. As long as he doesn't go too far."

Kasumi nodded in satisfaction. "Thank you Akane."

End of Chapter

I hope you all enjoyed chapter one. In case it wasn't obvious enough, Ranma's cursed form is Phosphora from KI Uprising. I'll be going along with the Ranma 1/2 plot line for a few more chapters before I introduce more Kid Icarus characters, so you have something to look forward to. Please review and I'll eventually post chapter 2!
