After seeing someone's idea about an alien trying to blend itself
in with Neriman society, I started to think about an Alien/Ranma
(possibly Alien vs. Predator/Ranma) crossover.
Think it's worth bothering with?
Here's a few ideas I came up with...
A meteor crashes near Jusenkyou. When the amazons go to check it
out, they find a single naked female, who seems in considerable shock and
quite violent. They take her back to the village.
The girl is, of course, an alien who has fallen into the
nyannichuan. The meteor was a predator ship, carrying a load of eggs to
another planet to set yet another hunting game (they've given up on
earth. They've already lost to, what, Batman (twice!), Tarzan, various
native tribes, Magnus Robot Hunter, and Ripley's great-great
grandfather.) Maybe an egg hatched. Maybe they had a mother, and it got
free. End result - they crashed.
The human-alien is confused. Its telepathic communication with
its brethren has been cut off. Instinct tells it to secure the eggs, but
its new body is strange, weak, and frightning. Personally, I think this
could turn into a neat character - maybe it develops a 'self', that
carries over even when it reverts to alien form.
In any case, perhaps it does plant the eggs, leads a few amazons
to it, and voila!, a new horde of aliens in China. They soon destroy the
village. Or not.
Around this time, I suppose Cologne and Team Ranma show up.
Cologne's miffed 'cus she's been told of the meteor - and she knows it to
be a predator ship. SHe's beaten one in her youth, so the Amazon area
should be off limits. She's surprised, though, to find aliens crawling
about.
Around this time, I suppose the predators show up. Mayhem
ensues, with Team Ranma caught in between. DO they team up with the
predators? Do they play both teams against each other? I dunno...
havn't thought that far.
Should it be gritty? (You know, half of the Ranma cast getting
killed in various gory ways, or being facehugged into breeders). Or
not. Thinks it's worth working on?
Later!
