Chapter: I
Ranma Goes to Hell
Well the scene opens to a beatiful sunrise
over Nerima, which we see a sudden swarm of birds scatter as we hear the
sounds of fighting. We pan to a traditional japanese house and dojo. The
sounds of combat seem to be coming from the back of the house. We see two
people sparring, over a koi pond. The two opponents seem evenly matched,
the two people sparring are a older man in a off-white gi and a white
bandana covering his head and the other person is a young man wearing a red
silk chinese shirt and black silk chinese pants. The young man seems
distracted this morning as though he was looking for something that was not
there.
"Ranma! pay attention to the match," yells the older man who
suddenly spin kicks Ranma-kun in the gut. He was surprised that his kick
got through his opponant's defenses, he just stands there.
Ranma-kun on
the other hand is kicked into the koi pond. Then we see a young red headed
girl appear where Ranma-kun had fallen into the koi pond. "Great just what
I needed Pop!" The young girl gets out of the pond and heads toward the
house.
"Well Ranma that wouldn't have happened if your attention was on
the fight," said Ranma's father. "What was distracting you my son?"
"Nothing that would concern you old man," said Ranma-chan in a very calm
voice, that bordered on cruel. Her father stood there in shock, then she
added, "It's probably your fault any way."
As Ranma-chan heads for the
bathroom we see her with a distant look in her eyes. The look is of someone
who is expecting an attack any minute. Fortunately for her the bathroom was
empty, she decides to take a bath after her sparring match earlier.
However, she can't shake the feeling that something is not right, she
shrugs it off as she rinses with cold water. After Ranma-chan completely
washes herself she enters a tub of hot water she feels the tingle of the
curse taking affect. He stays in the tub for a while to relax.

Akane returns from her morning jog to practice. She quickly changed
into her yellow gi and stacks five cender blocks. Akane raises her arm high
and yells, "KYAAA!" She breaks through all of the cinder blocks without
flinching in pain.
Ranma-kun enters the dojo to practice his kata's. He
notices Akane and says, "Hi," as he starts his kata's. He is going through
a difficult series of punches, kicks, and blocks, that Akane can barely see
him execute.
Akane summons up her courage and asks, "Ranma could you
please show some me of the kata's you're doing?" She is expecting him to
refuse her and make fun of her, so she doesn't get her hopes up.
Ranma-kun still can't shack the feeling that something unusual is goning to
happen and thinks for a minute before answering. "Sure I guess I could,
Akane," Ranma said. Akane's surprised that he agreed. Then he does the
kata's at a slower pace, so she can follow all of his motions. Ranma shows
her the kata then watches her perform it and corrects her where she does it
wrong.
They're at this for an hour, when Kasumi calls, "Ranma! Akane!
Lunch is ready!" They head to the house to get the promised food just as
they get there Genma is already chowing down the food like there's no
tomorrow, they sit down to eat. Lunch goes by rather quitely, which in
itself is odd since Ranma-kun and Akane fight with each other all the time.
Through out the entire meal Ranma felt uneasy, but shrugged it off as
nothing unusual.
* * *
In the late hours of a calm afternoon
Ryouga appears out of nowhere and shouts, "RANMA, PREPARE TO DIE!"
Ranma gives a little sigh as he hears this familiar battle cry.
Without even turning around to face Ryouga, he duck to avoid the first
blow that he knew would be aimed at his head.
"What did I do now, Pig-boy? I really don't feel like beating..." Ryouga
managed to knock Ranma-kun into the koi pond, Ranma-chan come up mad, "Ow!
That hurt! You actually hit me!"
"What the matter, Ranma?" Ryouga sneered. "We've just begun.
Getting tired already?!"
"Thats it Pig-boy. It's time to get serious!" Ranma-chan is getting angry
because she is tired of always fighting Ryouga. She is unconsciously
powering up, by tapping into her anger. Her clothing looks like it's
blowing in a wind as does her hair, but as she continues to fight a pale
aura appears around her. Everyone is staring at Ranma-chan. Ranma-chan
either doesn't notice or doesn't care, but she does realize that she is
having a easier time of hitting Ryouga.
Ryouga notices the aura and is
scared because he's never seen Ranma-chan with a aura like this before.
Ranma wanting to end the fight, yells out, "KACHUU TENSHIN AMAGURIKEN,"
before proceeding to throw countless punches at Ryouga. Ranma-chan notices
that she is throwing more punches than possible and that they have even
more force behind them, than is possible in her female form. Ryouga being
unable to block the ferocious attack is nocked into the wall, very hard.
Ranma-chan and Akane both run to check on Ryouga. He's unconscious and
bruised every place Ranma-chan landed a punch on him. Ranma-chan is shocked
that she was able to do this to Ryouga and is scared that she did this to
her 'friend' without realizing it. Ranma-chan ran in to the house to call
Dr. Tofu. "Dr. Tofu... This is Ranma could you please come over to the
dojo.... Ryouga's in need of your help. Thanx!" Ranma-chan hangs the phone
and goes back to the other's. "Guy's Dr. Tofu is on his way over to check
on Ryouga."
Kasumi approaches the group and says, "Ranma-chan why don't
we move Ryouga to the guest room while we wait for Dr. Tofu." The group
nods in agreement. Ranma-chan and Akane move Ryoouga to the guest room.
* * *
Dr. Tofu grabs what supplies he might need to treat Ryouga.
As he races toward to dojo he runs into Ukyou who is also heading towards
the dojo with some food. "Why hello Ukyou where are you heading?"
"hi Dr.
Tofu, I'm bringing Ranchan some food." Ukyou replies with a smile as she
walks. "Why are you going to the dojo?"
"Well it appears that Ryouga's
hurt and needs my help." Dr. Tofu tells Ukyou who has a look of surprise on
her face. The two reach the dojo in short order and proceed in.
Ranma-chan hears the door open and runs to see who it is. Ranma-chan is
surprised to see Ukyou, "Dr. Tofu, Ryouga's up in the guest room." The
doctor hurries past Ranma-chan and Ukyou. "Ukyou what a surprise to see you
here. Come in." Ranma-chan lets Ukyou past, they head for the living room.
Ranma-chan has a sad air around her for some reason.
Ukyou notices
Ranma-chan's silence and is worried about it. "Ranchan, what's wrong with
you tonight? I never seen you this quiet and withdrawn. Come on, tell me
what's wrong!" She watches while Ranma-chan decides whether to talk about
it ot not.
After a while Ranma-chan starts to talk. She tells Ukyou about
the fight and what happened to Ryouga as a result of it. Ukyou was
surprised to hear what happened, concidering that he is practically immune
to pain and injury. She was also shocked to hear about the pale white aura
that Ranma-cha had when she was fighting Ryouga. "Excuse me Ukyou while I
go get cleaned up." Ranma-chan leaves Ukyou there and heads to the
bathroom.
* * *
After Ranma-kun changed back,he starts to feel
an odd itching sensation at the lower back. He reaches back to see if he
can tell whats going on. Thats when he feels the little bump of fur, that
continues to grow. While it's growing ranma-kun starts to freak out. As the
ten minute process ends, the entire house is filled with a Ranma-kun's
scream. Everybody rushes toward the bathroom to find out whats wrong. Ukyou
being the first to arrive stops dead in her tracks. As does everyone else
when they see Ranma-kun holding a simian tail in his right hand that is
appearently attached to him. Ranma notices everyone staring at him,
"Alright, everyone out." Ranma-kun says on a cold tone, since he doesn't
know what to make of this new problem. Everyone slowly turns around and
leaves Ranma-kun alone.
Ukyou starts to leave with the others, but then
hesitates at the door and returns to kneel down next to Ranma.
Ranma-kun
looks at her with frightened eyes and tells her, "Ukyou, I don't know how
this happened, but when I changed back I felt something weird at the base
of my spine, then the next thing I knew, I was growing a tail. Ranma asks,
"Can you excuse me while I get dressed?" and Ukyou leaves. While he's
dressing he realizes that his pants won't fit on him anymore so he rips a
hole just big enough for his tial to fit through. As he gets up to leave he
loses his balance and falls over. "What's wrong with me? Why can't I walk?"
Ranma-kun asks in a slightly shakey voice.
Ukyou rushes into the
bathroom to see Ranma-kun sitting on his knees. "Ranchan whats wrong?" she
askes in a worried voice.
"I can't seem to stand up at all." Ranma says in a frieghtened voice.
Ukyou thinks for a moment, but draws a blank. "Just give it time and I'm
sure your balance will return." Ukyou says as she moves to help Ranma-kun
walk down to living room.
As the two reached the bottom of the stairs.
Ranma-kun looks at the people. With a hesitant voice says, "I'm sorry for
snapping at you earlier." After saying this, Ranma-kun and Ukyou head for
the couch to sit down.
Dr. Tofu gets up and heads over to Ranma-kun to
examine him. "Ranma-kun would you care if I run some tests. To see if I can
figure out why you suddenly grew a tail?" Ranma-kun looks at the doctor and
nods his approval. After an hour of examining Ranma-kun Dr. Tofu returns to
the clinic to look up a few things, telling them he would get back to them
in the morning.
* * *
That night after Dr. Tofu had done the blood work on the samples he took,
he was baffled by the way the blood reacted in the tests. He called
Cologne, seeing how she had much more experience, and asked for her help.
Cologne came over, seeing how it envolved her future son-in-law. They
worked late into the night coming up with possiblities for the strange
blood make up.
* * *
Ranma-kun had a fitful sleep, he was plagued by dreams of people with
tails terriorizing a universe, with Earth being their next target and no
way to defend it. Then Ranma-kun saw scenes of a man's life, he had black
spikey hair and a tail when he was younger. Then the same man was older, he
didn't have his tail anymore. Ranma-kun saw several of the battles the man
had had in his life and was surprized how powerful he was. He woke with a
start from the dream he had and remembered most the events from the dream
and the mans name. Son Gokuu, whats his conection to me growing a tail and
why am I dreaming about him.
Ranma-kun got up and tried to walk, but he
was having dificulties. Ranma-kun was slowly getting his center of balance
back. Ranma made it to the kitchen with out too much trouble. His balance
was still to out of whack, though he was getting getting better, he still
has trouble walking normally. "Good morning. Kasumi when's breakfast?" he
asked from the door.
"Oh! Good morning Ranma-kun, you startled me.
Breakfast will be ready in a few minutes." Kasumi replies cheerfully and
resumes the meal preperation.
* * *
The morning passed with little excitement. Ranma-kun has regained his
sense of balance. Ranma-kun's tail lashed about nervously while he waited
for the doctor. The entire household is waiting for Dr. Tofu to return with
information about the tail. Ukyou showed up at the dojo to wait with the
two families. Dr. Tofu showed up at the door, about twenty minutes after
Ukyou.
Ranma-kun rushed to greet the doctor. "Dr. Tofu, please enter."
Ranma-kun let Dr. Tofu past him, and then followed him to the rest of the
waiting family and Ukyou. Ranma-kun remained standing.
Dr. Tofu let
everyone settle down before he explained what he discovered. He told them
about the legend of the Monkey King and various other anomalies he
discovered from the previous day's tests.
While Dr. Tofu was telling them
about what he discovered Ranma-kun noticed simalarities between the Monkey
King Legend and the dreams he had the previous evening. He waited for Dr.
Tofu to finish. "Dr. Tofu last night I had a wierd dream about a man who is
very simuliar in appearence to Monkey King from the legend. He was saving a
planet from all sorts of danger's." Ranma-kun retold as much of the mans
adventures as he could remember clearly over lunch. "The man's name is Son
Gokuu, and he is from an alien race called the Saiya-jin."
The people
gathered were impressed with the tales Ranma-kun had told them. "Dr. Tofu I
believe the Monkey King, from the legend, was a member of this race, but as
to the reason why I now have a tail is still confusing."
Dr. Tofu thought
for a moment. "Ranma-kun what if one of his decendents drowned in the same
spring you fell into?"
Ranma-kun regarded the doctor for a minute. "But
then why did I get the tail now and not when I first emerged from the
spring?"
"Ranma-kun maybe the tail will only grow, or re-grow, under the
right conditions," replied Dr. Tofu.
Ranma-kun thought on this for a
minute, but while he did this he was surrounded by a deep red aura. As the
aura formed around him, it was causing him great pain. Everyone back away
from him in fear of seeing this dark of an aura. Then Ranma-kun started to
fade from this plane of existance. Ukyou lunged toward him to pull him out,
but as she tried to grab him, her hand passed right through him. Evan as
Ukyou thought she felt Ranma grab her, Ukyou felt like part her soul was
wrenched from her body. She collapsed from the spiritual pain.
Ranma-kun
was in great pain, as he saw Ukyou lunge toward him, he reached for Ukyou
his hand passed right through Ukyou's skin and grabbed something else and
Ranma felt Ukyou grab on to him. As he faded he felt a terrible pain rip
through him to his very soul.
* * *
Ranma-kun awoke to the
sounds of combat, which weren't helping his monster of a headache. The
fighting seemed to be just over a close rise. He got to his feet unsteadly.
He then proceeded to walk over the hill to the fight. As Ranma-kun took in
the surroundings he realized that this was not Earth or at least not the
Earth he knew. The vegitation were of variaties he didn't reconize, the
grass was normal looking, the tree's looked to be evergreens, there was
something about the shade of green they were that just didn't seem right to
Ranma.
As Ranma-kun watched the fight he was amazed by the sheer skill of the
spikey haired man. His skill level was unbelievable. The man was fight at
least seventeen different opponants at once, and he seemed to be enjoying
himself emmencely. His oppenents appeared to be Oni's of some sort, all had
viscious looking weaponry. The man was avoiding the attacks with the ease
of someone experienced in combat.
After the fighting was over Ranma-kun went over the the spikey haired man.
He asked the man nervously, "You wouldn't be Son Gokuu, would you?"
The man referred to as Son Gokuu, nodded an affirmative. "I am, but who
are you? I don't remember seeing you in Hell before."
Ranma-kun fell silent at that comment for a moment. "I'm Saotome Ranma.
Whadya mean, you mean this is Hell?"
Gokuu nodded. "You are in hell, but where's your Halo?"
Ranma-kun just noticed the Gokuu had a Halo. So he did the only thing left
to do. He Fainted.
