Hello people, I had a little writer block and faced a problem while thinking up the next chapter of The Invade and the Emperor. And somehow I had an idea while reading the Kenichi manga, what if they met the Ranma crew? XD
Who have read my previous works know that I like to put Japanese words into the texts so be prepared.

This will be a Histories strongest disciple Kenichi and Ranma ½ crossover, also it continues the Ranma ½ story.

I don't own either of the cast of characters, only the plot and my original characters only!

Timeline:
Ranma ½ - The end of the manga.
Kenichi - A few years before the start of the manga.

Part 1: The new challengers

It was a great Tuesday for those who live in Nerima, considering the usual yelling and explosions are absent. Then again the absence of the normal insanity sent panic into the hearts of the civil people.

The one who usually starts the chaos or at the central of it now walks the streets without a care in the world.
"Finally some peace! It is about time I can get some time to rest." As the raven haired boy stopped to take a deep breath and stretch as he started to roof hop around the district.
"(I do wonder where Ryoga is… it's about a month ago since I last saw him.)" And just like a wish coming true or a bad penny turning up the pigtailed fighter soon heard an all too familiar voice.
"Where in Hell am I?!"
"Hey! P-chan! How's it digging?" Even if it was a bad pun, seeing as Ryoga's head was coming out of a hole because he was travelling underground mostly thanks to the Bakusai Tenketsu Ranma couldn't help but hold back a laugh."(Maybe he was a mole in his previous life...)"
"Ranma!? Don't call me P-chan! Because of you I have seen Hell!" The bandana wearing boy otherwise knows as Hibiki Ryoga also known as the Lost Boy threw a pair of bandanas towards his arch enemy.
Said boy easily moved out of the way of the projectiles.
"SHISHI HOKOUDAN!" A green coloured ki blast raced towards the pigtailed fighter, who put on his smirk as he gathered his ki.
"Mouko Takabisha!"
The two ki blast exploded when they met as the two martial artists clashed. Ryoga started with a fake jab to which that was easily dodged but his sweep kick connected. Ranma fell on the ground but as he landed he kicked the Lost Boy with his legs, in the stomach.
"Not bad P-chan! You must have trained a lot?" The pigtailed boy was thrilled at the idea that his opponent was now trickier, it now meant that he would have to raise his guard meaning more fun for him. When he was on his feet Ranma took up a panther stance while Ryoga stood in his usual style, the pigtailed boy lashed out fast and made a mixture of feint attacks and real ones. Soon his opponent Ryogas body was full of bruises when Ranma stopped his attack, thanks to the Lost Boy's umbrella that had destroyed the ground where the pigtailed boy was a moment ago.
"Whoa! You sure have become strong, but you still suck, porky!" Ranma yelled from high above Ryoga and his heel impacted on the forehead of the Lost Boy.
The attack had enough force in it to knock Ryoga unconscious and the forever Lost Boy fell backwards with a thump ending the fight.
"That was fast." The young Saotome didn't know what to say about the fight, nowadays the fights end really fast. "(I hope there will be something more interesting than listening to pops and Tendo-san rambling on all day about joining the schools and stuff.)" Leaving his fallen rival and sometimes friend where he laid the pigtailed boy made his way back to the Tendo dojo and once again onto the roof of the Tendo's house thinking that maybe this is the best for now. Just as he was about to fall asleep something crashed into him! Opening his eyes he could see the yard lamp had parked itself on him from the anger prone tomboy!
"Hey Ranma are you coming to school today or not?!" Before the pigtailed boy could ask himself he already knew his answer.
"Yah! Hang on I'll be down in a minute... after I get this lamp off me! Frigging tomboy..."
"WHAT DID YOU SAY!?"

-------------------- School Rumour Rumble -----------------

Oh yes, Nerima a silent, peaceful and entertaining place. At least that is what people say who have never been near the area surrounding the school Furinkan High!

As usually the morning at Furinkan was... rather strange to say the least! A lone boy, dressed in black hakama and a blue jacket wielding a bokken, stood before the school building. No one seemed to take any notice of him as they passed on by him.
Hearing the exact time from a pair of passing students the boy seemed to be thrilled at hearing it.
"So the cur Saotome won't show his face on the holy ground of Furinkan! He had finally seen the magnificence that is I, Kuno Tatewaki! But wait! I have not seen my fierce tigress Tendo Akane nor the always cheerful pigtailed girl running towards me to confess their love since the demon spawn has disappeared! I see now! That foul sorcerer must be behind this! I shall find him and destroy him! And then, the pigtailed girl and Tendo Akane..." As the boy once again started into his speech, the passing students made a circle in a five meter range around him!
Inside the school building said 'foul sorcerer' and fierce tigress were already sitting in class. Both felt strange when thinking about the elder Kuno heir.
"Do you have any idea what could be Kuno's problem? I mean usually he spots me from a mile away or even worse but now we easily walked by right in front of him!" Ranma wasn't sure what to say, maybe it was that his luck started to change and things actually started going right for him.
"Well I'm not complaining about it. But I have a feeling it is just something Kodachi cooked up and tested it on him... or he needs to get glasses." Just as Akane finished the history teacher walked in, with a cheerful as ever smile.
"Good morning class! Let's start studying!" After he said that he picked up a piece of chalk and threw it at the pigtailed boy who was already sleeping.

After the third class Ranma went out to the yard to do what he always does around this time.
"U-chan! Pass me one with lots of veggies on it!"
"Sure thing Ran-chan!" With that said the local Okonomiyaki chef threw one together with all her heart in it and after a minute or two it was ready to be eaten. To Ukyo this was a nice thing to do in recess, it brought a minimal income she asked only for a hundred yen for her cooking in school, since most who come to her shop are also her school mates. Not to mention this way she also gets a cheap advertisement.
While savouring every bit of the treat he had in his hands Ranma saw his two pals, Hiroshi and Daisuke.
"Hey Ranma, Ukyo! Have you heard?"
"What?"
"We heard that there is a supposed to be some mob or gang that is recruiting people!"
"So?" Neither Ukyo nor Ranma was fazed by this, as such things were common but all groups disband after going up against a member of the Nerima Wrecking Crew.
"Well I heard that this group is strong! They are even attacking schools!" Now this caught the attention of the two martial artists. Either the group was well organized and had skilled members or had numbers that might even be a problem for one member of the dreaded N.W.C.!
"Well if it is crucial I think that Nabiki would have already done something about it or is already planning against it." Ukyo, wise as ever calmed the two men down, since everyone in Furinkan High and around it knew not to mess with Tendo 'Ice Queen' Nabiki!
"Well, if it makes you guys calmer I'll ask her if she knows something about this." With that Ranma ate what was left of the Okonomiyaki and jumped up to Nabiki's window.

"... so as I was saying, this new idea about selling napkins and things like that with not only Ranma on it but the rest of our little celebrities would turn us a tidy sum." Nabiki was in the middle of briefing her underlings of her idea for a new product when suddenly the faces of her friends changed for a moment and she heard movement behind her.
"Hi Ranma."
"Hey Nabiki. Can you help me out a little?" This question made the middle Tendo girl stare at the boy, it wasn't everyday that Mr. Martial Artist came to her for help.
"First tell me what you need my help for then I'll tell you a price." This answer did what it was supposed to.
"I don't need your help then." With that Ranma went out, Nabiki started the countdown.
"... four... three... two... one..." and the pigtailed boy was already back.
"Alright. I need information on a group that is supposedly recruiting people in Nerima." This made Nabiki curious. Normally Ranma didn't ask for such information but who is she to ask?
"Alright. One thousand yen." With that Ranma pulled out his thin wallet and handed her the one thousand yen bill.
"I know nothing of such a group."
"WHY WAS THAT ONE THOUSAND YEN FOR!?"
"Time is money Ranma and my time is expensive."
"I want my money back!"
"No can do. I don't give money back and you know it well but don't worry I'll look into this so called group."

Back at Ukyo's 'stall' Akane has joined the little group with Yuka and Sayuri accompanying her.
"So Akane what do you think of this group?" Hiroshi who was one of the civilians in school who felt he had the right to know what the martial artists thought about this group.
"Not much. It will probably disband once it reaches Furinkan."
"Maybe, well once Ran-chan is back from your sister we will probably know more." Just as she finished Ranma landed besides her.
"So what did Nabiki say?" If the sudden appearance of Akane wasn't a surprise to Ranma then her suddenly questioning him was.
"She knows nothing and even cheated a thousand yen out of me!" This answer had the desired reaction in the form of a face fault from Hiroshi and Daisuke and sweat drops from the girls.

Back at Nabiki's class

"So Nabiki are we going to endorse the new products today?" The right hand of the Ice Queen asked, mostly because she was aiming for economy major and had some knowledge of selling.
"No. We will start looking into this group, not too much but enough to know who is standing against us." With that she gave out the orders and her underlings started working on the case.
"(I have a feeling that something big is coming... well I have Ranma to deal with it.)" With that Nabiki started looking up her contacts to ask for some info on this group.

After school the young Saotome and Tendo were walking towards home. Strangely they saw more people of their own age than usual.
"What do you think is going on?"
"Beats me. Might be some kind of party?"
The trip home was very uneventful, even though the sight of the two martial artists brought reactions from some people who were trembling and even running away!

At the Tendo home nothing changed, when Nabiki got home Ranma asked a few questions about what she found out but she didn't find anything useful. After that quick conversation Nabiki went up to her room leaving Ranma alone. The pigtailed boy went out to the porch to think about the situation when Akane approached him.
"I think that Nabiki isn't feeling too well."
"Why?" The pigtailed boy's statement confused Akane.
"She didn't charge me for this information." A nervous laugh came from Ranma and Akane found it amusing to hear him talk like this.
"Something on your mind?"
"Yeah."
"About those hooligans right?" Ranma only nodded and a few moments passed before he started talking.
"You know I can't really place this group anywhere. The bands that were in Nerima were the usual punks with nothing better to do but something about this one sounds different... I barely know anything about it but I have a bad feeling."
"How come? You afraid?"
"NO! It's just that... it's one thing to be aggressive but from what I've heard from Daisuke and Hiroshi they aren't just insulting the people and making them fear them, they terrorize them!" With that an uncomfortable silence followed. Neither Akane nor Ranma could say anything, but the two knew that they were thinking the same. Unknown to the two young martial artists, two other were also in the room.
"Ah Soun don't you think that it is so beautiful to see the two like that?"
"I agree Genma."
"I know! How about we surprise them, get a priest?!"
"An ingenious idea! Let's go quickly and..." Before Soun could finish his sentence suddenly Genma was splashed with cold water and then kicked out into the yard.
"And that about sums up my feelings on your idea!" Ranma then went out of the room, put on his shoes and went for a quick trip.

--------------- Later about Nerima-----------------

Jumping high above the buildings the pigtailed boy's thoughts flew as he did. Most concerned about this new group that sparked his interest; they might be worth the effort to face if what he had heard was true.
Landing on a rooftop, the pigtailed boy looked around, his surrounding were somewhat familiar, he had been here once or twice thanks to Akane and her mallet.
"If I remember, that school that was attacked is supposed to be around here..." Spotting a taller building Ranma jumped up and soon landed on its top and looked at the scenery.
From ten stories high he could easily see his surrounding, even if the district was known as a martial artist haven and town of insanity, moments like this when everything was at peace, gave it a tranquil look.
"Well... since I can't see any school like building I might as well... what is that?" The pigtailed boy's eyes caught a familiar sight, one he had seen around Furinkan only once.

Down at the street level a young brunette girl was being chased by five guys, from the looks of it the usual street punk with a knife in his pocket. The girl ran as she could but since she ran into a dead end alleyway so probably she wasn't familiar with the neighbourhood.

The girl was cornered, paralyzed by fear as the punks got closer.
"Hey babe why you running away? It hurts my feelings you know. I mean just because we are in Ragnarok it doesn't mean you have to act like this." A red haired boy got close enough to invade her private space as two of his pals stayed behind to make sure no one disturbed them.
"What do you want from me?!" The girl was crying and the fear could be easily heard in her voice. One of the punks a tall one started smiling, his apelike face turned into a gorilla mask.
"Oh you know what we want but I think I'll give you something." This made the girl look curious but she still tried to look for a way out.
"What is it?"
"A lesson… A lesson you won't soon forget!" With that he slapped the girl so hard that she fell to the ground. Her right cheek was throbbing from the pain and she felt dizzy because of the sudden impact. She was about to go over the threshold and retaliate when she heard something, she looked up and the red headed guy already had his pocket knife in his hand and was looking at the blade.
"You know I once had a friend like you. She was very close to me. That is until she suddenly ran away because she feared me. I don't know what she was so scared about." With that he started cutting away her blouse. The girl wanted to act but her body was petrified when she felt the cold steel against her skin, soon her blouse was open in the front and her bra and breast showed.
"Yes, this is how a girl like you should look! Body like a puppets, fear in the eyes and silent from terror!" Just as he finished talking he started cutting the girl's skirt when she screamed and slapped him. This made the guy's face twist with rage!
"You bitch!" His right hand formed into a fist and found the left cheek of the girl, whose head met the wall with quite a force. Luckily her head didn't break but she could barely see because of the damage. What she felt was her skirt being ripped down, and the cold blade just under her left eye!
"I see that you still don't understand where you are! It is US who tell YOU what to do and you OBEY!" Just as he wanted to cut her face something landed next to him and he found his friend there out cold with fear on his face and as he heard a noise from behind him he turned around to see who had done this!
His friends were out cold, two of them piled up next to the wall one of them was held up in the air by the throat by an unknown pigtailed person! The punk quickly moved in to cut the guy up a little when suddenly he found a foot in his face, the hit came out of nowhere and he flew back next to the girl who was still panicking.
He wanted to stand up and try again but this time his eyes caught a shadow and everything turned black.

Shiori Mizumi wasn't sure what to think, first she was in a very bad situation that got even worse when suddenly she saw a raven haired boy, dressed in black and red beat her attackers under a few seconds! The look in his eyes was cold, but still when he looked at her it turned into a caring one. But seeing her state of dress this look might mean something different and maybe she was even deeper in trouble!
"Can you stand?" The question was strange to Shiori but she felt that she should better answer.
"Yes."
"Good. Then I'll take you home."

"Well that was a nice change. She actually thanked me instead of hitting me or something like that." Ranma started jumping towards home, his original goal forgotten. After rescuing the girl he took her home where Ranma started talking with her. He wasn't sure if it was a good idea but he thought it was. A half hour later when she was calm enough Ranma left but he didn't see the look in the girl's eye as he looked at him.

Back at the Tendo home Ranma's return didn't stir the usual actors. There was no Akane, Genma, Soun or her mother to ask where he was and why didn't he take Akane along. It was strange that when he walked in the living room it was only Nabiki there watching the tv, she was also accompanied by a sack of chips. Since he didn't want to disturb Nabiki he planned on going up to his room but the middle Tendo daughters voice stopped him.
"Ranma-kun. Why don't you sit down?" This request already told Ranma that she wanted to confirm something.
"Okay."
"So have you by any chance seen a failed rape attempt?" The way the Ice Queen was talking wasn't the subtle girl Ranma knew, it was VERY rare to see Nabiki ask straight out like this. He didn't know how to answer but when she started smiling he wasn't sure he should answer!
"I know what happened out there, so don't even try to lie. Just because you did something good for me, I can tell you that the girl you saved was one of my new subordinates and old contacts."
"(So Nabiki is trying to gain ground and increase her information chain?)" Ranma was sure that this would make things interesting.

------------ Temporary Headquarters of Ragnarok ------------

At the other side of Nerima a small group of people gathered. All of them differed in goals and the way to achieve it, but all of them were united in one thing. Whoever gets in the way will be destroyed or swept aside!
Seven young and ambitious fighters, one would say that this would be nearly impossible. It would be if the power and skill levels didn't differ.
"How goes the recruiting project Loki?" The one with the glasses who sat at the top of a box stack asked and removed his glasses to clean them.
"According to plan, Odin... even if we did get some uncounted opposition!"
"What kind of opposition?" Odin's voice gave no room for a bad answer he wanted to know who stood against him!
"Just a bunch of martial artists in Eastern Nerima, nothing to worry about..."
"Even a bunch of martial artists can become problematic if we let them do as they want!" The one with a cowl and black got up interrupting Loki who looked angry at him.
"Silence Hermit! What our groups faced were no more than middle and low class fighters at best! The recruiting shall commence as planned." Loki was sure to find something on Hermit just to make sure. Before Loki could continue with his reports a girl with short raven hair put her own two cents to it.
"You shouldn't talk that way. There are rumours about very powerful martial artists that might become our enemy if we don't watch it." While Loki had heard about the rumours, he thought that it was only that at best, a rumour!
"No matter! We have PLENTY of people to do our bidding! I'll organize one on Saint Hebeke for tomorrow and..."
"...after that you will pull out the troops. Our actions already caught the eyes of unwanted people." Loki was once again interrupted but this time by Odin who didn't give room for an argument.

Loki was sitting in his car, his trusted underling driving for him. His anger didn't fade as he got closer to his home, a few minutes after he left the warehouse he got a call that a smaller group got attacked and beaten!
"(I wonder who could do this... from the reports it was only one person! It's not that shocking after all three of us could beat over a hundred foes but from what we have faced yet weren't even close to this.)"
"Something on your mind, Loki-sama?"
"Tell me Number 20, what do you think about the rumours concerning Eastern Nerima?"
"Probably false but with a little truth in them... but whatever Loki-sama says I believe so." The girl quickly added the last part when Loki's lips started twitching she knew he wasn't in a good mood.
"(Let's say that the rumours are true to some extent. Then what if that place has layers? The deeper we go the better the fighters would get...)" This train of thought went on without stopping and soon Loki was ready with a plan.

Writer's note:

Well as you can see I have rewritten the first chapter and I'm planning on doing it by inserting a new part which I call Furinkan vs Nerima, then after that we get up and personal with the crew versus Ragnarock.
