Crossover Fan Fiction ❯ Ranma: Ascenion ❯ Chapter 2

[ Y - Young Adult: Not suitable for readers under 16 ]
On a private plane Ranma awoke, his head was in a soft lap and some one was gently stroking his hair. Slowly opened his eyes and they started to come into focus. He was looking at a very beautiful Egyptian woman; she had very beautiful caramel colored skin, long black hair, and beautiful blue eyes and was dressed in a white T-shirt, a black vest and slacks combo and boots. [1] “Who, who are you?” He asked weakly.

She softly smiled at him showing that she wasn’t going to hurt him, “hello Ranma.” She said softly in Japanese. “I am a Neko-Yasha now don’t be afraid. I’m here to help you.” Ranma looked and noticed that his arm and leg had almost finished growing back.

“Where am I?”

“We are on a plane on the way to Egypt.”

“Egypt? What happened to Pops?”

“Your father, if I could a man like that a father. Was an idiot and that’s being nice, he was trying to teach you a forbidden art to humans. I think it would be better if I told you a little bit more about me.” Ranma nodded and so she did, “My name’s Selina and like I said, I am a Neko-Yasha. A clan of supernatural were tigers; there are many beings like me in this planet, from wolves to rats. We are the hidden races, the Neko-Ken was created by the Goddesses Bastet and Sekmet for all were cat clans. Each clan had their own personal style as well.”

Ranma nodded in understanding, “if he would have succeeded in teaching you. You would have been forever locked in the rage and chaos of the art.” Ranma was scared and she hugged him tightly, “don’t worry. Bastet is also the protector of children; she created a weaker version of it to help those afflicted by the school. That is one of the main reasons I am taking you to Egypt. The other is because of how I saved your life.”

“Magic?” He asked.

“Partly, remember when I said I was a were tiger?” Ranma nodded, “well part of me is that. Turns out that I am now part snow leopard and cheetah as well. I was known as a highly powerful spiritual mage and sorceress. Until an insane devil hunter tricked me and sealed me in a silver tomb. When your father took the tomb and ward gems, then blood from the snow cheetah/ tigers and your blood mixed, it activated my resurrection.”

Ranma was in shock and gasped, “to be completely resurrected I had to absorb the energies of the first cat. Then to save your life, I merged you with the second one.”

“So I’m cat?”

“Yes, I did it to save you. You’ll have the potential to learn the True Neko Ken; you’ll be the greatest martial artist in the world and best of all, no more Genma harming you ever again.”

“How do you know me, my dream and can speak Japanese good?”

“When the magic merged you with the cat, it needed a pattern to work with, so it used me. So basically we have become soul mates, maybe even better than soul mates because of the link between us. You’ll never be lonely again.” Ranma realized that he was always going to have someone to be with him and watch over him. He grabbed Selina and hugged her tightly.

“I’ll do it!” He said while hugging her, she gave a gentle smile and hugged him back.

This is your captain speaking; we will be landing in 10 minutes.” After the plane landed, Ranma and Selina went to the temple of Bastet. They were talking along the way.

“Sel-chan, what happened to the tomb and gems?” He asked.

“Well you have to understand, were-creatures are highly vulnerable to silver and Neko-Yasha are vulnerable to a special magical silver. I had cast a spell that had overloaded the spell on the coffin and vaporized it.”

“And the gems?”

“I didn’t want your idiotic father to take them so I turned them to dust.” Ranma nodded again and they came up to a cat-headed Bastet statue. The eyes started to glow they were teleported into a misty realm.

I AM THE GUARDIAN OF THE TEMPLE OF BASTET! WHY HAVE YOU COME?” Said the statue.

“I am Selina of the Neko-Yasha,” she said. “I seek audience with Goddesses Bastet and Sekmet, creators of the Neko-Ken. I seek them in the name of this child-victim of the Cat Fist and humanity’s greed.” There is a quiet pause.

DO YOU ACCEPT THE CONCEQUENCES OF ENTERING THE REALM OF GODS AND GODDESSES? DO YOU ACCEPT THE PRICE OF DEALING WITH GODS AND GODDESSES? DO YOU ACCEPT THE CHANGES TO ONESELF AND THE CHILD?” She nodded.

“I do!” With that Ranma and Selina had disappeared from the mortal plane. They reappear in the middle of an Egyptian style garden they turn and bow before the two women before them. Bastet is a sexual woman, with blond hair, greenish-gold cat’s eyes, cat ears and tail. She is dressed in a white dress; Sekmet is an athletic bad girl, with short light brown hair and grey cat’s eyes, cat ears and a tail. She is dressed in black clothing.

“Hello, I am Bastet.” Said the first cat goddess. “How can we help you today?”

“What was this about a child-victim?” Said Sekmet, Selina sighed and explained. She introduced herself and told of Ranma’s training. The numerous Neko-Ken attempts which resulted in numerous feline deaths and the final attempt. To say the two Goddesses were severely pissed-off was like saying a nuclear explosion at 100 meters was slightly brighter that a candle. A MAJOR understatement.

Bastet and Sekmet stare at the two mortals, well one mortal and one semi-mortal. They finally nod to each other and begin. “As Normal Cat-Warriors you are entitled to the True Cat Fist, but you and the spirits that merged with you suffered immensely and are entitled to more than normal.” Said Bastet, “a lot more! How in the Hell did you end up with such a rotten life?! Don’t you agree, Sekmet?”

“Yes, Bastet and I secretly practice an advance form of the True Cat Fist, the Great Cat God Fist. We will teach both of you along with the True Cat Fist.”

Ranma looks excited while Selina was shocked, ‘a God’s Art?!’

Two years later, in Paraguay, Ranma was chasing his magically-enhanced ocelot friend. He’s surfs vines, like the hero in that one American anime, he races across brush and branches at incredible speeds. The magical Ocelot compared to a cheetah was like comparing a cheetah to a 40 lb housecat. Bastet smiled, she remembers 3 weeks ago when 8-year-old Ranma found the injured forest cat. She sweat drops as Ranma goes through a 20’ thick tree trunk.

The bottom of the tree shatters in to toothpicks. Two years later, Thoth ran out after doing some tsubo/ magical readings on him. Ranma gets up and looks around, he looks at each colorful bottle, each herb, etc…Ranma then uses one of Urd’s tricks (for when she either locks herself out or wants to ‘barrow’ something) to open a large cabinet. Inside are thousands of scrolls. Scrolls on medicine, pressure points, magic and even several martial arts.

Ranma learned one thing from Genma, scrolls are good. The scroll in the temple took away the pain and healed him. Thoth and others Pantheons of knowledge said “wisdom is power”. Ranma pulls out a pile and puts them on a lab table. Just then his stomach starts to rumble, he notices a small fridge and uses Urd’s trick again to open it inside were fruits, odd plants, herbs, and colorful liquids. The titles which he can read (even though his Egyptian Hieroglyphic is a rusty) said “Strength enhancing Fruit Juice”, “Mega Health drink”, and “Herbal rejuvenation.”

Ranma recalls that Most Knowledge Gods and Goddess (with the exception of a certain sake-drinking Goddess of the Past) are Health nuts. ‘Oh well, health food is better than none.’ He pulls out what appears to be berries, noodles, odd fruits, nuts and three bottles of juice. (One green, another red and the last blue-violet) He sits down, after he moved his tail out of the way and begins to both eat and read.

In Bastet’s garden Thoth was telling the other what was going on. “What is it, Thoth?” Said an alarmed Bast.

“Is Ranma OK?” Said Sekmet, Selina was worried.

“I took a look at his ‘chi lines’. Genma was an even worse bastard than we thought. Even before the trip, he used tsubos to dull Ranma’s prodigy mind. He made Ranma incapable of independent learning.”

“That’s horrible,” said Selina, “can you fix the damage?”

“I already did, I pressed the correct points and gave him 1 cup of 1% formula green 20. That should have him healed within a 2 weeks. There is a second problem.”

“Oh no,” said Bastet. “What now?”

“3 years ago, Ranma was given the gift of Dragon blood by a very powerful ki dragon. This was just before the Neko-Ken training, he also used limiters.”

“LIMITERS!” Said Sekmet in shock. “So he’s only using PART of his power?”

“The limiters prevent Ranma from using more than a .10 of a percent of his total power. As the dragon’s power increases, Ranma’s already vast powers increase and are further magnified by the Great Cat God Fist and his were cat nature. By the way, has anyone figured out what he is?”

“Yeah he’s a snow cheetah, but a tenth of a percent?” Said Selina, “so what Ranma’s actually a 1000 times more powerful and he’s still getting stronger?”

“That’s not all; I’m also detecting an unusual bloodline. Also Genma is NOT Ranma’s father.”

“Oh perfect,” said Bastet. “What are the bloodlines?”

“His mother contains Royal Jurai and Yagami.”

“Ah a Tao thing,” said Sekmet. “Part Protective Light/ Part Destructive Dark.”

“His true father is a Dark stalker.”

“Wait a CLASS 0 MAKAI?” Said all 3 cat girls.

“Yes.”
“How did a Makai Realm demon get to Earth? Class 0’s are as strong as Class 1 Gods!”

“It’s hard to tell with the combined Ranma/ Kageryu Chaos, but I think we should ask Kami-Sama for more powerful limiters.” Just then there was a loud Krack, they rushed into the lab to find Ranma sitting near a pile of scrolls, fruit rinds, nut shells and empty bottles. In his hand is a smoking black powder. “What happened? I don’t have any explos…” He noticed his medicinal fridge is open and looks at lunch.

The bottles of green: Mind/ Psychic Enhancer, red: Body/ Beauty Enhancer, and blue-violet: Combo magic/ Ki enhancer. Super-strength noodles. Chinese Peaches, sensu beans, speed-enhancing nuts, and super-senses herb for flavor. “Sorry Thoth-sensei,” said an embarrassed 8-year-old Ranma, “I raided the health food fridge.”

“What caused the noise?” Asked Selina.

“I rubbed a stone, like those, too much.” They looked over and saw carbon stains on his hands and the small pebble-sized diamonds.

“I think we should get those limiters, now!”
