Unexpected
Disclamier: I don't own these characters nor am I making any money from
this. Please do not sue me.
In the halls of one of heavens buildings two relatively young deities in
training were sneaking into a room. No ordinary room was this, this room
contained viewing well used by the higher gods to alter or cross the various
worlds in the multiverse. Sometimes it was used to help fight a great evil
or grant enlightenment to someone, but more often than not it was used to
meddle needlessly in the lives of mortals. The two youngsters in question
had just slipped by the last trap and now stood before the well. The shorter
of the two rubbed his hands together as they approached the well. The other
had a lot more dubious expression on his face. "Are you sure this is a good
idea?" The first one smiled at his friend reassuringly. "Hey, everyone else
has altered his life in some way! It can't be that hard." He started to
search the various worlds in pool. "Now which time line to cross it with".
Eventually a small smile crossed the shorter ones face, "Yes this'll do
nicely." The taller being looked at his buddy's choice and paled slightly.
"Hey, um...isn't that L-sama's turf?" The other boy mealy smiled "Yup, but
don't worry. With all the magical energy running around she won't see his
entrance into that world." the other did not look convinced "I don't
know..." the shorter looked up slightly annoyed "Look I've got it worked
out. He'll be there for ten years, and then the recall spell pulls him back
to his timeline. Now watch." They both gazed into the pool as the transfer
took place.
-----
Genma Saotome finished strapping fish sausages to his son. Nodding in
satisfaction at his work, he picked his son up and tossed him into the pit
of starving cats. It was at this point that time seemed to slow down as
Ranma fell. A black void seemed to open right in front of the younger
Saotome, swallowing him whole as he fell through. Genma blinked several
times. Not sure what to make of that. Then a thought struck him, "Nodoka's
going to kill me."
***
Ranma shook his head as he lifted himself off the hard ground. The fall
hadn't been as bad as he thought it would be but he was still a bit dazed.
Realizing he was still wearing the sausages he quickly set about removing
them as he looked around. The first thing he noticed was that he was at the
edge of a forest with a large city in sight. "Papa?" he turned around trying
to catch sight of his father. "Papa, are you there?" The only response he
got was a growl as the ground began shaking then moving. Leaping off Ranma
noticed that he hadn't landed on the ground but on some monster. The
creature was huge, bigger than his dad. Its skin was green and it was
fanged. The creature growled, "Little punk, that Hurt!" The creature roared
and charged.
----
The younger nodded his head "All right, he's there and about to be beaten
by a Troll, great plan." The other scowled "Look, there's Prince Phil. In a
few minutes he'll save Ranma, find out he's alone, and take hm home. Amelia
get's a new brother and Ranma gets a decent family." The other person folded
his arms across his chest, "Unless someone else gets to Ranma first." The
other boy looked at his friend in a questioning manner. In answer he pointed
a finger to a figure that had just entered the scene. The shorter boy looked
at the figure and cringed "Kami-Sama, not HIM!"
----
The figure in question was himself wondering why he was here. Originally he
was supposed to be taking care of a problem elsewhere. But he'd received
word from his master that he was to go here instead. He wasn't given a
reason but then he didn't need one. An order was an order after all. It was
at this point he heard a roar. Being curious he quickly moved towards the
sounds of combat. Now it's not easy to surprise this particular person, but
the sight of a young boy holding his own against a Troll was unusual to say
the least. His surprise grew as he noticed the way the child moved. It spoke
of a skill level he'd never seen in one so young and considering how long
he'd lived that was saying something. He began to scan deeper to find out
more and was surprised yet again. The boy was not from this realm. He did
not know how it happened but this child had been sent through the barriers
between worlds for what purpose he couldn't guess. The last thing he saw was
that the boy was positively swimming in chaotic energy. Like he was born to
it.
At this moment the boy managed to weave in and out of the punches and
swings the Troll was throwing and getting in several good strikes.
Unfortunately a troll could heal such damage with ease. The figure could
tell that for all the boys' skill he would lose. Coming to a decision he
approached the two combatants. "Excuse me." The troll whirled on the man at
the sound of his voice club raised high. The man smiled as the troll was
engulfed in a column of light and disappeared. The man then turned to the
young boy. "Are you all right?" The young boy nodded "Mister, how'd you do
that?" The figures smile widened "Magic." The child looked skeptical "So
what is your name kid." Ranma straightened up "I am Ranma Saotome of the
Saotome school of anything goes martial arts!" The figure chuckled at the
delivery before continuing, "Where are your parents?"
The boy deflated somewhat "I don't know, Papa threw me into a pit of cats
and I ended up here." Ranma looked up at him hopefully "Do you know where he
is?" The figure smiled widened "No but if you come with me I'll try to help
you. I must tell you it may be impossible to find him but I promise to try."
The young boy looked thoughtful for a moment "I'll even show you the art."
The young boy looked at the figure then where the Troll had stood and back
"Okay." The figure smiled as he led the boy away. "Say mister, I didn't get
your name?" The figure looked at him still smiling "Its Xellos Metallium
pleased to meet you."
----
The shorter boy was babbling about how this shouldn't be as the taller
shook his head. "You do realize you just screwed up royally and will most
likely be punished." His friend continued on as if not hearing him "This
can't be! Xellos wasn't supposed to be anywhere near there, I checked!! It's
almost as if..." "As if someone told him to go there." a new voice stated.
The sound of a soft female voice froze both boys as the color drained from
their faces. Slowly they turned around to face the Lord of Nightmares,
L-Sama. "Umm er..." they began "We...we were just...um." The master of all
dark lords mealy smiled nastily at the two youths, nearly causing them to
pee in their pants. She chuckled "Leave now." They both looked at each other
then her "Huh." She raised an eyebrow "Must I repeat myself." In the blink
of an eye both boys were gone. L-Sama strode over to look into the pool. All
ready Xelloss was endearing himself to the young boy. She smirked, those
boys had just given her access to one of the most chaotic mortals in the
multiverse. This could prove useful as well as entertaining. A chair
appeared behind her as she sat down to watch the fun.
The End
Okay I would love to continue this but I've only seen the first season of
The Slayers and some of Next. So I'll leave it at this for now. C&C would be
greatly appreciated.
