Disclaimer: I don't own any character from this story. I don't even own the idea of this story.
Thousands of years ago, the powerful Archmage Iceron used his magic to create magical shape shifters to be his army of bodyguards and assassins. At first, he created the were-rats and were-hounds. The rats excelled at their jobs as assassins, but the hounds did not, hence why the were-wolves were created from the giant dire wolves. Later, the rats rebelled, and tried to kill Iceron and they thought they did, but he lived. He then created the were cats from the great cats, to hunt down the rats and found the Cheetahs were best at it.
History is blurred after that point. Iceron just disappeared. What most people don't know is that Iceron was dying and he traveled far into the east in search of a greater power. In the mountains of what would be china, the dark mage found the waters of changes. A spring of magic-rich water flowing into a valley of springs below. The waters in the valley were mostly untouched, but a few showed shape-changing magic. If an animal drowned in pool, the magic changed, so what every animal falls into the Pool next would change into the Drowned Race with cold water and back with hot.
The pure waters could evolve a demi-god to full godhood or made an archmage god-like.
Iceron began a spell, drawing power from magical flows, which would have regenerated him back to his prime. He planned to use the waters to change the weres and hundreds of innocent people, transforming them forever into obedient were slaves. With this power, Iceron would have ruled Earth for centuries, perhaps stopping the End to the Age of Magic.
There was one problem with his plans. A single powerful were.
She had been born of a Were-Cheetah father and a Rare Were- Snow Leopard mother. Both parents were shunned by their own kind, because of their "birth defects". The father instead of human, cheetah, and hybrid forms, possessed a large animal form, a wild semi-rave hybrid form, and a semi-hybrid human form. The mother possessed a near immunity to silver and her human form was still semi-hybrid.
The Hybrid Woman herself, whose name was Snow, was a tall muscular were cheetah with white instead of gold fur. She also possessed a semi-hybrid human form, a super-hybrid form, and a white cheetah animal form. She also lacked any of Iceron's control. When she attacked Iceron, the old mage discovered two other traits. A total immunity to silver and near total immunity to magic. In the final clash, Snow and Iceron both dying, fell from a cliff to a pool below.
Thousands of years later, the Pools would be known as Chöchuanshan to the natives and Jusenkyö to others. Land of Cursed Springs.
Ranma: The rebirth of Iceron
Episode 001
Time: 10 thousand years later.
Scene: Jusenkyo
Two men were standing and looking at the cursed training ground.
First man: Well, looks like this is the place.
The guide was telling them about the area.
Guide: Here sirs is cursed springs of Jusenkyo. Over 100 springs, each one with own tragic story.
Just then the older man jumped up on one of the pole sticking out of the springs.
First man: Come on Ranma follow me.
The young man, Ranma followed him up on to one of the poles. The guide was scared.
Guide: Sirs, what you doing?
Man: I'm not going to hold back Ranma.
Ranma: I wouldn't have it any other way Pop!
So the fight started, they were going at each other, kicking and punching. Then Ranma knocked his father into a spring and landed on to a pole.
Ranma: Hey Pop, we done already?
The guide started to tell Ranma what the spring was his father fell into.
Guide: Very bad, Mr. Customer, fall into Spring of Drowned Were-Rat. Tragic tale of Were-Rat that drowned in Spring 5000 year ago.
Ranma's father came out of the spring covered in dark brown fur; he had beady little eyes, bucked teeth, claws and rat's ears. Of course, Ranma freaked out a little.
Ranma: WHAT THE HELL?
Okay a lot, he was so freaked that he didn't noticed the Were-Rat making his move and kicked him. The extreme power, strength and speed of his father's new race caught Ranma off guard and sent him flying into a bush under the cliff and right into an ancient hidden spring. The guide followed Ranma's flight and he knew where he ended up in.
Guide: AIYAH! Young Mr. Customer fall into Spring of Iceron! Tragic tale of all-powerful mage named Iceron and Were Hybrid that drowned over 10 thousand year ago!
A column of light and energy explodes from the pool; the bushes and debris are instantly turned into ash and blow away. The water steams in to a glowing mist and the new Ranma floats out of it. He is over what is left of the pool, which is now molten rock and mist. He gently floats towards his Were-Rat father; they got a good look at the young man.
The new Ranma was almost 7 feet tall and was buffed. His eyes were glowing gold; he had light skin and long, spotted platinum blond hair. He also had tanned eye slashes like on a cheetah, pointed ears, fangs and slightly silted eyes. Then he started to transform into his were form, destroying his gi top. He is covered in platinum blond, spotted fur, is almost 8 feet tall and still has the glowing golden eyes. Thanks to the `Glare of Doom', his father sees his son as the most horrifying thing on the planet.
He tried to get away but wasn't watching where he was going and fell into another spring.
Guide: Very bad, now Mr. Customer fall into spring of drowned girl, 1500 year ago girl fall into spring and drown. But now with Were-Rat curse, you turn into female Were-rat.
The male Were-rat comes out of the spring as a busty, red haired female Were-rat.
Ranma's `father' (checking herself out): EEP!
Guide: Maybe you be Gothwrain's new bed toy?
Ranma/ Ranma's `father' (confused): Who?
Guide: Gothwrain, evil High Elder of Were-Rat clan, come and try to destroy spring of drowned Were-Cheetah, fill with concrete see?
The guide showed them the spring and sure enough, it was filled with concrete. There were cracks in it and it was shaking.
Guide: Plug not last long now, but spirits big, big mad at evil were-rat. Use fire magic to seal spring, take years to weaken this far. You kill him, they maybe owe you favor.
Ranma left Genma at Jesunkyo and was looking for a village, Genma panicked.
Genma: Boy gone, gonna die!
She started to run after Ranma to take him back but couldn't find him.
Scene: With Ranma.
Meanwhile, Ranma was walking west going by instinct, he saw a village and he walked in there he saw something he couldn't believe. There were beings like him, snow white were cheetahs.
Ranma (amazed): Wow.
Just then one of them walked up to him. He was dressed in a shirt, breeches and leggings.
Snow cheetah: Welcome friend.
Ranma: You speak Japanese?
Snow cheetah: Yes, I do. I am Arctic, what is your name friend?
Ranma: I'm Ranma Saotome, nice to meet you.
They shook hands and Arctic led him in the village.
Ranma: Tell me are everyone here snow cheetahs?
Arctic: Yes, it looks like you're one too.
Ranma: Yeah, but I didn't start out as one though. Plus, I have the spirit of a powerful arch-mage named Iceron.
Arctic (shocked): Repeat that name again?
Ranma (confused): What, Iceron?
Arctic (running): Follow me; I'm going to take you to the elder.
So they went into a hut which there were 2 huge snow cheetahs guarding the door.
Arctic: We are here to see the elder.
They let them pass, the elder looked very strong for his old age. He was dressed in robes and slippers.
Elder: Arctic, who is this young warrior you have brought to me?
Ranma dropped to his knees and bowed deeply to the elder.
Ranma (bowing): Honored elder, my name is Ranma Kenshin Saotome. I have come here, in need of your people's help.
Elder: And why do you need our help, young one?
Ranma: Because I have been to Jesunkyo and fell into a spring in which one of your ancestors and an arch-mage named Iceron had drowned in.
Elder: I see, well I guess we can help you after all. That is if you will help us.
Ranma: If it is in my power, I'll do it.
So the elder motioned for him to come close to him so he can looked Ranma in the eyes. What he saw was strength, power, determination and patience. Just what he needed for an enforcer.
Elder: I would like for you to be our enforcer.
Ranma (shocked): Enforcer?
Elder: Yes, you see we need new blood in the tribe and with your help we could get it.
Ranma: Hmm, an enforcer. Alright, I'll do it.
Elder: Thank you Ranma.
Ranma: Uh Honored Elder, I have just one little request. Call me Kenshin. (1)
Elder: Alright, Kenshin it is then.
Then Kenshin and Arctic walked out of the hut.
Arctic: That name must have some meaning for you.
Kenshin: It was my great grandfather's name.
So Ranma started his training and was taught how to transform in to all three of his forms. He sparred with some of the guards and was taught many different things. He learned diplomacy and made allies with the Musk and the Phoenix people. Oh yeah and of course many of the females lusted after him.
Time: A year later
Ranma and the elder were walking through the village, and were talking.
Elder: You want to leave don't you?
Ranma looked at the elder with surprise on his face.
Elder: Do not try to hide it from me, I've seen the wanderlust in your eyes.
Ranma (sighing): You're right, as usual sensei.
Elder: Then I give you my blessings, only take 6 of our you warriors with you as well.
Ranma (bowing): Yes master.
So Ranma took 6 of the most powerful snow cheetahs with him. 3 male and 3 female, they left and headed for Japan.
Scene: Tendo dojo
A young man walked in to the dojo.
Man: I home.
Voice: Welcome home, Adrian.
Adrian Santos, age 17, he looks like the old Ranma. He was in a shirt and slacks. The reason why he was there was because he was looking for Genma and found him. He beat Akane for room and board and stayed for a year. Meanwhile Ranma showed up in Tokyo with 6 other people. They were walking down the street wearing ponchos. The girls were blushing lightly be cause they were offered modeling jobs.
Ranma (chuckling): I think it would be cool as a model. Hell, we got the looks, for it.
Female (blushing): But Kenshin-sempai, we've been isolated from the outside world. We don't know what's going on.
Ranma (wrapping and arm around her): Don't worry Ice, everything will be okay. You guys'll have to trust me.
They continued to walk until they got to the Tendo dojo.
Ranma: Well, here we are. Remember, you guys are exchange students.
They nodded, Ranma knocked on the door. Just then some one came to get it. It was a young woman, she was around 20 years old and was dressed in a white and blue housedress. She had brown hair in a braided ponytail and brown eyes. When she laid her eyes on who it was at the door, she grabbed the young man in a tight hug.
Woman (hugging Ranma): RANMA!
Ranma (hugging back): Hi Kasumi.
End for now.
A.N.: 1. Only when he's surrounded by the weres that came with him is Ranma's name Kenshin. Also yes, it's the same Kenshin that you think it is. (Kenshin Himura: the Battosai)
