Albarn returns with something else that has othing to do with my last story.
I have also decided that my main gimmick, the one thing that will be present in every story that I write, is that they will all be crossover's.
Like this one, it's a random Danny Phantom/Ranma cross.
Note: I agree with author Lawra that Ranma is a bunch of oneshots, basically. I'm gonna try to string some of it together, but not all of it. Ranma is still sixteen, he did fight and defeat Saffron, the scene with Akane excluded because, to be honest, I don't like her, and the whole wedding thing hasn't happened yet.
For the Danny Phantom part we'll say it's about five years after Phantom Planet.
Disclaimer: I own neither Ranma One Half by Rumiko Takahashi, or Danny Phantom by Butch Hartman.
Breaking The Rules Has Consequences
Ryoga Hibik, well known to some and a minor character to others, was lost. Again. So he cursed the name of his rival. Again.
And in doing so he failed to notice, and there by tripped over, a blue glass bottle. He cursed his rival yet again for causing him to trip. His foot happened to knock the top off of the bottle and blue smoke billowed out in a larg cloud until it formed into a giant, glowing, purple woman dressed in Arabian silks and wearing an odd hat.
By this time in his life Ryoga knew the signs of a genie when he found one. And he had learned from previous interactions with wish granting things or entities. He would not be taking this one back to Nerima so that this chance could be corrupted by the people that surrounded his rival.
And so he made his first wish, interrupting the woman as she explained the rules surrounding the wishes, "I wish Ranma Saotome was dead!"
Now, normall this genie, Annie, would try to explain the rules again to the eternal emo, but this was not a good day for her. She'd just dropped her last master, a perv who'd made her grant all sorts of deprived wishes, she was crammed back inside of that god be damned bottle, and worst of all she'd started her cycle. Ever seen an especially cranky woman on her period? Imagine if that woman had phenomenal cosmic power.
"You know what! Fuck it! Fuck it, fuck you, fuck it all! Wish granted," She snapped her fingers, "Ranma Saotome is dead! You broke the rules, you get no more wishes! Merry FUCKING Christmas!" And with an explosion of red energy Annie and her bottle disappeared, hopefully to find a better master.
Despite not getting anymore wishes, which might have been able to cure both his pig by cold water and directional curse, Ryoga was now too happy to be able to use a proper Shi Shi Hokodan. Ranma was Dead! Capital D! Now he could have Akane to himself, that myopic chinese idiot could have his bimbo, and that god damn cheater could never do anything else to ruin his life again.
Filled with joy and the anticipation of a warm welcome from the girl he loved back in Nerima, Ryoga pulled the straps of his backpack tight and made off into the sunset... or he would have if he didn't go north east instead.
Ranma Saotome was your average sixteen year old. That is, he was average if you discounted the fact that he had more suitors than most men had fantasies, could switch between male and female with an appilcation of alternately tempered water, was the best martial artist of his age, and had killed a god. Other than all that he was perfectly normal.
It was on one of his normal days that a normal flash of green lightning stuck him from the clear blue sky and turned him into a normal half ghost.
The day had start out nice enough, he beat his father in a spar, kicked the old panda's ass liked he was a soccerball, avoided eating toxic waste by claiming to be sick, Kasumi supporting his claim, and had made it into class early after delivering a one hit knock out to Kuno by using him as a springboard to jump into his class through the window. What was even better was that Akane was late cause she couldn't do that so she could bother him in class for at least an hour. The good news just kept piling on when he found out that miss Hinako was out with a cold and her replacement for the day didn't even really care. The guy was obviously suffering from a hangover and told the class that as long as they kept the noise down they could do whatever they wanted.
it was at lunch where it all fell to pieces.
Akane had brought some of her toxic sludge to school with her, just in case Ranma was feeling better by lunch time, which he was. She offered it to the boy. The boy refused.
In an effort to save Ranma from the gruel that was actively trying to escape the bento it was contained in, Ukyo came over and offered some of her specialty. Ranma was about to accept when his third fiancee, or as she preferred to be called his wife, showed up offering him noodles.
The noodle deliverer was followed by a myopic duck boy who proceeded to shout something about... ah, who really gives a damn, he just was making noise. The loud noise attracted Kuno who began to spill out line after line of crappy poetry before moving to attack.
Kuno attacking was apparently the go signal as everyone started fighting and it ended up, Ranma had no clue how, with them all against him.
And the crescendo came when Akane called him a baka for not accepting her food and tried to whack him with her hammer.
Just then Ranma snapped, if only for a moment, and stepped to the side of the hammer and smacked Akane across the face. Hard.
"Would you cut that the fuck out?"
As everyone stood there stunned at what just happened Ranma rose to his full height, humming with the power he used to kill the phoenix god and said, "I'm really getting tired of this sh-"
Only to be interrupted at the last second by an eight foot wide bolt of green lightning that lit him up like a christmas tree.
After a loud scream that lasted the duration of the strike, an abnormal three minutes long, Ranma passed out. As he hit the ground those closest to him saw some obvious differences. The first was that his color scheme inverted. His red silk shirt turned teal, his black pants and hair turned white. If they could have seen his eyes they'd have seen his blue eyes become a glowing green.
Despite their violent interactions everyone came to the consensus that it would be a good idea to get Ranma to a doctor, Kuno and Mousse excluded.
Ranma woke up hours later, in his birthform, and noticed, almost imediately, the reverse in color scheme. The very first thing he noticed, which prompted him to notice the change in color, was the absence of hunger. One would figure that after being struck by green lightning and being knocked out for however long that a guy would get hungry.
After noticing his shifted appearance Ranma went into a self diagnostic mode. His arms and legs and other extremeties were all in their correct spots. His head hadn't received any overt damage and, as far as he could tell, none of his bones were broken. It was when he checked on his ki that he came to a rather disturbing discovery.
It was gone. His entire ki pool was gone. Almost like it had never been there in the first place.
He was about to start a rant on how the gods must hate him when he noticed that, in place of his ki, a new energy had taken it's place. Some green energy that was extremely pliable if the way it moved was any indication.
He began experimenting right away. He stood up, noticing he felt lighter than normal, but ignoring it for the time being, and charged this new energy into the muscles in his arm. He then threw a punch as fast as he could.
Nothing. No increase in speed, no wave of compressed air, no accidental blast of energy, nothing. He didn't even feel stronger. Hell, it felt like his arm wasn't even there. Taking a closer look Ranma's eyes nearly bugged out of his skull when he saw that his arm was not there.
From his bicep down Ranma's arm was gone. Completely invisible. There was nothing to sense there, not even the vacuum of energy that the Umisenken created could be detected. For all intents and purposes Ranma did not have a left arm.
In his distraction the green energy drained back into his core and his arm slowly reappeard. He could no feel it's weight again, could feel the soft breeze coming from the window, and it even felt like he was stronger than normal.
Calming down and taking a deep breath Ranma decided to try that again. This time he did it much slower so he could follow the energy in each and every motion as it sumbmersed his arm.
As he watched his left arm yet again turned completely invisible. Once again he couldn't feel the breeze or the weight of his arm. Pulling that energy back into his core his arm went back to normal.
After about ten minutes more of experimenting with this energy in different parts of his body, Ranma decided to try spreading it throughout his whole body.
Both Ranma and the people sitting in the living room of the Tendo home were surprised when the martial artist sank through the ceiling as if it wasn't even there and landed in front of them partially tranparent and hovering in the air with his legs fused into an irately swishing spectral tail.
After a quick explanation to the parents, and telling Ranma why he hadn't woken up in a hospital because they couldn't find a pulse and assumed he was dead, Ranma told the others what he'd discovered so far.
"Boy, stop showing off!" His father barked at him to get him to stop sitting on the air like that. It was making him jealous.
Ranma just grinned but floated down closer to the floor before pulled his energy, what they guessed ws ectoplasm, back into himself.
As he did so he noticed another layer of ectoplasm that covered every inch of his body and decided to see what would happen if he pulled that in too.
Ranma's family and suitors watched as a ring of red light appeared around his center, spit into two rings that traveled up or down his body, and turned him back into his living breathing self. His color scheme was even back to normal.
"He's a Halfa!" Kasumi suddenly piped up.
End Chapter
Short, not a lot of talking, and too the point. I hope you like it.
I've also decided that, eventually, this story will have some ghost on ghost action. So I leave it to you, the few of you that read this, to decide who it should be:
Ember McLain( My Personal favourite of the three options)
Desiree( Wish granting ghost looking for love. It could work.)
Penelope Spectra( um... I'll figure out how to make it work.)
This is the vote for who gets Ranma, just so ya know.
