An unexpected Streetfighter 2V Ranma 1/2 crossover
Memories
"Ranma, we must talk..." shouted a very irate and very serious Soun Tendo. 
"Look Mr. Tendo, if it's about making your little Akane cry again I had
nuthin ta do with it." Ranma explained, wondering when the demonhead will
pop up.  Soun sighed, Ranma was so like him when he was young, and the
young man's relationship with his Akane is certainly going in a downward
spiral, so much like him and Sakura.  "Walk with me to the dojo, I have a
proposition for you." he said as he walked with purpose towards the Tendo
dojo.  Ranma wordlessly followed, in his mind he wondered what happened to
the Tendo patriarch that everything about him suddenly changed.

In the dojo, the two martial artists were squatting apart, one facing the
other as if equals.  "Ranma, it is time I told you a secret that only the
master and my friend, your father know.  Soun is not my real name, and the
name Tendo was from my wife Sakura Tendo.  When I was young, martial arts
were my life, nothing mattered except being on top, I had friends and foes
but they didn't matter as long as the art was concerned.  I had a close
friend, his name was Ken Masters. He was the one who financed our training,
we trained under the great masters Dhalsim and Gouken, learning the way of
Hadou. In time we got to fight the greatest martial artists of our
generation and we grew famous it was the time that we also grew apart, Ken
had a different goal, he no longer wished to become the best instead he
wanted to make the girl he loved happy, Later that year he got married to
Eliza and left the fighting ring, I thought I had lost my best friend and
was then in a slump, that was when Sakura came into the picture.  She was a
fan of mine and she wouldn't stop following me wherever I went.  She even
challenged me with the condition that if she defeated me, she will become
my student.  I defeated her and moved on, not noticing that my "fan" was
getting more beautiful each passing year.  That was when the past caught up
with me.  Akuma, the demon that took over my master Gouken's brother Gouki
was seeking to awaken the demonic spirit within me, I fought him and I lost
and as he was about to fire a chi blast that will awaken the demon, Sakura
used her body to shield me, making her the target of the chi attack.  Since
Sakura's chi was weaker than mine, the move nearly killed her, causing a
cancerous growth that baffled even the specialists that Ken found.  It was
evident that she was going to die, and it was all because of me.  I found
that I did not want to spend the rest of my life without her so I did the
only thing I could, I took most of the death chi into me.  In doing so I
also received a part of her, I found out that Sakura wasn't after me just
to learn Shotokan Karate, rather, she was after me because she was in love
with me, and deep inside I knew that I loved her too.  I decided to change
my name so that I could get a fresh start and we married, It was the
happiest days of my life yet somehow I could not contain the urge of
becoming the best. One time someone challenged the dojo I being the head
had to defend it, the challenger was the master and he defeated me utterly.
 I was able to keep the dojo in the condition that I was to become his
student, stupid as I am I agreed, thinking it would be a win-win situation.
 I met your father and we became fast friends, we only separated when we
sealed the master.  I went back only to find Sakura in a hospital, It
seemed Akuma had returned and Sakura fought him so that he would be unable
to follow me.  The doctors told me that she had only ten more years to
live, I cried and told her how sorry I am but she smiled and said there was
nothing to forgive, we tried to return to our lives before but that
happiness just won't last.  Akuma returned and I fought him and defeated
him with his own raging demon technique but one of his chi blasts went
astray and was going to strike down Akane, Sakura protected her by using
her own body as a shield.  It was from that day that I promised never to
forsake my family again, a vow I should have made a long time ago.  Three
months Sakura was in intensive care and then she died.  I grieved for her
and I still grieve every time I see one of my daughters suffering." Soun
paused to wipe the tears in his eyes. It was then that Ranma noticed two
things, one Soun's familiar moustache was shaved off and his long flowing
hair was tied back in a ponytail, two he was wearing a red headband and a
white dougi.  Soun smiled, seeing that Ranma noticed the difference.  "This
is my proposition, defeat me and I shall teach you the secrets of Shotokan
Karate and the way of the Hadou, lose and you will have to marry my
daughter and do something about your other fianc�es, are you ready?" Ranma 
nodded and the two martial artists clashed.  The battle raged on...
