Well, after much lurking, I've decided to join the ranks of writers.  Sure, It's not so good, but I'm working on a style, and It's my first post.  By the way, I like C&C.  I love getting all kinds of e-mail, particularily those which either praise my brilliance or threaten me with death for my incompetance.  Part 2 and more is getting written no matter what, and I'll post it depending on response.  On with the show, and long live Ryouga!

Ranma 1/2 / Dragonball Z:
The Sayajin
by 'Neil Carlberg

	Well, we know that I appologize to all the big, rich people like Rumiko Takahashi and Akira Toriyama, who actually own these characters.  There's no point in suing me, as I havn't got any money anyway.  At least, not until I stretch out the apostrophe in 'Neil (as in 'Zakath).  Now after that somewhat obscure reference, I will now get on with the show.

Chapter 1
----------

	Ryouga Hibiki was lost again.  He should know the feeling well by now, with all the years that he had been wandering for, far from anyone who cared for him.  Of course, there was only one person on the planet who gave a damn about him anyway.  And Akane was claimed by that bastard Ranma.  Ranma, who had engineered his curse.  Ranma, who stole his love.  Ranma, who delighted in Ryouga's every misery, and who beat him regularily.  If Ryouga chose to give his troubles a name, it would be Ranma.  And despite all his skill and power, to shatter a rock wall with one hand, to defeat anyone who crossed his path, to take hundreds of blows without flinching, the two things he couldn't do were defeat Ranma and win Akane.  All his considerable might was empty.

	As he wandered past a large pyramid in the desert he was currently wandering through, he noticed that he was begining to glow with a slight green aura.  Here was another problem.  His inability to control his emotions, as he unconciously turned the depression into ki.  As powerful as the Shishihoukoudan was, at times it was a pain.  His dark thoughts from before began to flood into his mind, and the aura began to grow.  It filled him totally, until he had to lash out, or explode with his own ki.

	"SHISHIHOUKOUDAN!"  yelled Ryouga as he unleashed a burning green ray into the  side of a pyramid, smahing the it in.  This done, he proceded to wander of to the east, with his cloak whipping in the wind.  He never noticed the unholy glow that the the pyramid had.

	Dende was Kami-sama over his Earth, and he liked his job.  The young god sensed all that could endanger his planet, and then sent off his little army of martial artists to deal with it.  Of course, since the destruction of Buu, there hadn't been too much trouble.  So Dende was amazed when he felt a ripple in the fabric of the universe, on that screamed with doom for a million worlds.  The backlash from the wave threw him accross the room where he was meditating, and shocked him to the core.  He felt the potential to destroy everything that was in this evil, and decided that that was a bad thing.

	"Piccolo-san!" he shouted.  "Get the others now.  There's big trouble!"

	Piccolo, who poked his head into Dende's meditation chamber said "Not again!  Is it like that stupid Cell, who were 'threatening the entire universe'?"

	"This makes Cell seem like a pussycat, and Buu for that matter too." said Dende, in a frightened voice.

	The dark figure flew through the air at speeds that easily outran any jet craft that might be in the air at the time.  Kaeru's master had wanted him to report immediately, and Lord Kaine was not the sort that you disobeyed, for any reason.  Kaeru's black hair flew back into his face, and his purple outfit was plastered to his body by the force of the wind he created.  It felt so good to be able to fly again after five eons of imprisonment.  His master was even more pleased, and this news would make him even happier.

	Kaeru pulled to a stop in front of the ruins of a large pyramid.  In front of it stood eleven other warriors, each dressed in a different hue.  A small, grey-haired  man in grey came out to meet him.

	"Hail Kaeru," the man called.  "Is this world ready for our master's hand?"

	Indeed it is, Donovan."  Kaeru responded.  "And I have located the one who is to be the master's avatar"  Then he yelled to the whole group: "Come brothers, let us serve out lord!"  And with that, he flew into the sky, a rainbow of warriors following him, who were in turn followed by a hundred brown clothed men.

***

	Kirin hovered through the air with ease, in his flying ship.  The master of Seven Lucky Gods martial arts stood, confidant in his supremacy, ruling the skies.  Ever since his marriage to Lychee, he had been out cruising the world with her much more often.  Right now, they drifted home, to Nekonlon.

	Then, a group of rainbow-clad men came roaring at the ship, flying like birds.  Their deadly first strike dropped Bishamonten and the twins to the deck, broken and bleeding.  He looked as his adjuntant, Ebitan, was fighting a monster of a man clad in red, who seemed to be easily overpowering the smaller man.  As he looked on, the martial arts fisherman was struck by a flury of fist that resembled an Amaguriken attack, and blasted through a bulkhead.

	The huge Fatman was swinging wildly at a man in grey, while Monmon was being easily cut apart by a green-wearing man.  Lychee was already lying on the deck, with a blond woman in navy blue standing over her.

	"LYCHEE!"  shouted Kirin as he rushed to her, throwing an attack at the blond that she easily blocked, then kicked him in the gut, doubling him over.  She rose her fist to finish him when a voice rang out "Halt Akemi!"

	A figure in a royal purple gi landed on the deck, and said "This one seems stronger then the rest.  Perhaps he will be a good warmup for my old rival."

	"Come now Kaeru" said the green cloaked man "theres no need to play with them.  Theyre to weak."

	"Kazuyas right" added Donovan "Lets just get to this place where the ki is concentrated."

	Kirin wasnt about to take the insult of being a punching bag.  "Kirin will destroy you all for what you did!  Noone attacks Kirins wife and servants!"  With that, Kirin powered up his most deadly attack, putting all his considerable strength into it.  "HYUKYOSHOYOUGEKIKYOU!!" he cried as he released the Attack of the Hundred Pinching Chopsticks.

	Kaeru looked crosswise at him, raising an eyebrow, and then rose one hand and said "Moukougenkibureeka", as a ball of power formed in the hand, blasted out through Kirins technique, and then through Kirins body.

	"Good one" said the man in red, as he looked on Kirins remains with disdain.

	"Yes, yes.  Lets just get out of here." said Donovan.  "Shin, do your worst." And with that, he proceded to rise into the air, followed by Kaeru, Kazuya, and Akemi.  Shin, in red, paused, turned around and let his ki flow into his hand, then roared "Hiikioihappa!" and produced a massive red beam that proceded to disintegrate the great ship, and then he roared off to the east after his comrades.

	In a small doctors office, in Japan, a man rose jumped from his bed, drenched with sweat.

	"No!" said Tofuu.

***

	In a cave in China, the mightiest human on the planet rose from slumber.  Saffuron felt his old opponent , and his ancient ally with a fortitude he hadnt felt in aeons.

	"Hes awake."  Saffuron said.  No doubt that Kaerud go for Tofuu.  That Ranma punk would try to get in the way, and probably get himself killed.  Still, if Kaine manged to find the one he needed, then it wouldnt matter.

	"Im coming Tofuu" growled Saffuron.  "And for you to, old friend."  Then he exploded into the air, surprising the hell out of a TWA flight to Beijing, as he passed it at Mach 3.

***

	"Well," said Gohan.  "Im here.  So whats important enough to call the best fighters on earth here at eight in the morning?"

	"This had better not be something stupid." added Vejiita.  "Bulma is gonna raise hell if Trunks is late for school, and I dont wanna have to put up with it."

	"Its very important, Vejiita.  The survival of the universe rests upon it." said Dende.

	"Well what is it then? Whats worth calling the Saiyajin no Oji all the way here."  Vejiita shot back.

	"Something very old and very powerful has woken up on another earth."  said Dende.  "Its name is Kaine, and it is neither a kind nor gentle god.  Namek legend speaks of a great war between Kaine and all peoples, in which the planet Saiya was destroyed.  At the end of this, Kaine and his generals were locked in a great pyramid by ten thousand ki Grandmasters.  Even then they could only harness the power necessary by limiting the power,  by granting a release clause.  The only way for him to escape is if his spirit possesses a Saiyajin body."

	"Saiyajin!" chorused the group  "But that means theyd have to come" began Yamucha.

	"Here" finished Piccolo "The only place where you could find one, after Paragas and Burolis deaths.

	"Yes, but a war between Kaines generals and the Z Warriors would destroy this planet" said Dende.  "Fortunately, the planet Kaine is trapped on is sturdier than ours.  It will allow us to make a preemptive strike."

	Goku looked enthusiastic, Vejiita looked irritated, Trunks and Goten looked bored, and the other Z fighters looked grim.  "So were fighting another Buu?" siad Gohan.

	Ranma ran away from the raging beast that pursued him.  Normally, he wasnt afraid of anything, but this was one exception.  He thought to himself I should never have made that  fat joke.

	"RANMA!" screamed Akane, hammer out and thirsting for his skull.  "So Im fat, am I!  You will die!"

	The common scene took place in Nerima every morning, as the couple walked to school.  The same as every morning, Nabiki wondered if their insurance premiums were going to jump yet again, Soun and Genma wondered if their children were ever going to get married, and Kasumi thought of what to cook for supper. 

	Just then, as often does in Nerima, all hell broke loose.  Ukyou and Shampoo jumped out, arms wide to grab Ranma from certain doom.  Mousse saw this, and, as he often did decided that he would crush Ranma for abusing Shampoo.  This happened to happen just as Pantyhose Tarou was attempting to jump on Ranmas head, and as Ryouga burst through the ground, and saw Ranma.  Of course, Cologne watched nearby with Genma and Soun, enjoying Kasumis dim sung.  Nabiki was on the phone, being on retainer to both Kunou and Kodachi to inform them of such events to defeat their respective enemy Ranma Saotome.  Happosai, seeing all these girls in one place, couldnt hold himself back, and flew into the pack, passing out feels to the girls every which way.

	In all this, it wasnt to much of a surprise that noone noticed Tofuu appear standing right next to Kasumi, with a grim expression.

	"Oh, hello Doctor Tofuu!"  greeted Kasumi "Why dont you stay for dinner?"

	Tofuu didnt even seem stunned by Kasumis presence, and instead focused on the rumble.  His eyes flared green for a half second, and he muttered "Kaikosen."

	A burst of energy shattered the rumble, sending martial artists and fiancees everywhere, merely stunned.  "Im sorry, everyone," Tofuu broke in "but this was the fasted method of getting your attention, and time is of the essence right now."

	Ranma, regaining activity, looked up questioningly "What the hell was that doc?  Couldnt you have"  Then Ranmas eyes widened.  Ryouga, looking up saw what Ranma saw, and joined his friend, slipping intop battle stance.  Tofuu turned around.

	"Ah.  Id wondered when youd show up old friend."  he said to the blue glowing Saffuron, who was doing his best avatar of pure power impersonation.

	"Sorry Tofuu." said the supreme martial artist.  "Not all of us have the advantage of being gods." he retorted as he powered down and landed next to the doctor.  He gave Ranma and Ryouga a lookover.  "They dont look ready.  Whatve you taught them?" Saffuron questioned.

	"Nothing."  answered Tofuu.

	"WHAT!!!" screamed Saffuron.  "What the hell are they going to do against Kaeru and the others like this!  Not to mention that Kaine will want the one who can fulfill the binding.  And we both know who that is!  Hes not ready!  I could take all of them myself!"

	"Oh yeah!" but in Ranma in a foolish manner "You didnt do so good last time we fought!  As a matter of fact, I whipped your ass!"

	Saffuron looked at Ranma with a look of total disdain.  He gave Tofuu a questioning look, and then exploded into action.  Teleporting right infront of Ranma, he unloaded with two punches and a crescent kick at low amaguriken speed.  Then, as Ranma crumpled, he said "I chose to allow you to live.  You are an insignificant mortal, whose power is just a lighter flame next to my blast furnace.  Dont ever assume your superiority to me again."

	Ranma looked up at Saffuron, and was about to leap up at the pink-haired martial artist, when Colognes voice cut in.  "What exactly is going on here?"
