The Power of a God
Author's notes: Hello, I'm Amelia Corrigan and this is my first fanfic I've
written on a computer.
So, after you've read this chapter and future ones, e-mail me flames,
corrections and nice notes
at: acorrigan@usa.net. These will help me in future fics I will write down.
Okay, Legal stuff:
Ranma1/2 characters and stuff like that belong to Rumiko Takahashi and Viz
Video and Kitty films.
I'd like to say that I'm only to Vol. 11 in manga so, his mom isn't in it and
stuff. I also make
them 16 too, in contrast to other authors. I would also like to note that my
spelling stinks
so, guess what the word is because I'm using Notepad and I don't think it has
spell checker.
I write about the Greek gods but I don't belive in them. Also, I'm using the
Greek names because
I feel the Roman ones are wrong, since the Greek ones were first. Okay, I'm
sorry about this long speech
but I had to say it.
"..."is speech
*...*is itallic
<...>is thought
Okay, that's about it, so read on and enjoy...
Chapter 1
Ranma was in a foggy place. It was also cold and rocky. He was only wearing bed
clothes so
he was *freezing*.
"Help? Anyone here?!" Ranma shouted. He heard a voice from behind.
"Ah, you're here. I thought I was too late." Ranma wheeled around. He was
facing blonde-bearded
man with winged shoes.
"Who-Who are you?" Ranma asked.
"I am Hermes." The man said. Ranma looked puzzled. "Hermes? You know, the
winged shoed guy?"
Ranma shook his head. "The messanger god?"
"Oh! Oh! You! I thought you were a Greek myth." Ranma said.
"Well, I'm not." Hermes said. "Anyway, I'm here to tell you something."
"What?"
"Hades is going to posess your body."
"My body?"
"Yes. But it'll take a day to get to your body so I'll tell you how to protect
yourself." Hermes
finished.
"How?" Ranma asked. Just then, a blonde-haired girl in a silk, green dress came
flying in. Really.
She had fairy wings.
"Daddy, daddy! Urgent news! Ha..." The fairy started.
"Not now, Tinkerbell! Your daddy has to save this boy's life!" Hermes scolded.
"But..." Tinkerbell started.
"Enough!" Hermes snapped. "Now, you need to..."
"HADES LEFT EARLY THIS MORNING!!!!!" Tinkerbell screamed. Ranma started feeling
light-headed
and dizzy.
"WHAT?!" Hermes shouted.
"Yes, I just found out. One his guardians told me he left at 3:30 this
morning!" Tinkerbell
shouted. Ranma's vision was starting swirl images. Ranma could barly stand. He
kneeled down.
<So dizzy. So worn out. I need sleep.> Ranma thought. Hermes saw the mortal
kneeling and gripping
the rocks.
<I'm too late. Hades probably just getting in!> Hermes thought.
"Mr. Ranma, hold on! You can win!" Tinkerbell started to chant. Everything was
a fuzzy whirl.
He wanted it to stop spinning around.
"Help me." He mouthed. Then he was still, his vision cleared then...nothing at
all. He was gone.
**************************************
 Hades felt refreshed. He was going to get Persephone back (somehow) and he was
in a good mood.
Now, who was he?
<So, who am I, Closter?> Hades telepathly asked.
<Ranma Satome, my lord. Aged 16 mortal years.> Closter answered.
<Give me his memories, now!> Hades ordered. He closed his eyes. Saw life,
people, enemies, routine,
etc. <Intersting...> Hades thought. He got up, grapped some clothes and headed
for the bathroom.
To everyone else, it looked like normal Ranma, just getting up.
"Good morning or afternoon, because it's almost noon, ya know." Nabiki said as
he passed by.
He closed the door of the bathroom. He poured cold water over his half-dressed
body. S/He looked
down. S/He screamed. Kasumi rushed in. 
"Are you alright, Ranma?" Kasumi asked.
<Oops. Forgot about the change!> "Oh, I'm fine. Water was a bit cold...Brr."
Ran-chan badly lied.
"Okay." Kasumi said, looking confused. She closed the door.
"You know, I like this body better. No one tries to harm little girls."
Ran-chan said, looking at
herself closely. She washed then changed back to a girl. She walked, like
Ranma, to the table. She
wolfed down the food, like Ranma. Akane was pracising in the dojo when Ran-chan
walked in.
Akane looked at Ran-chan.
"Aren't you going to change back?" Akane asked.
"Nah." Ran-chan said, bored. Akane kept hitting the pole.
<Where are the insults?> Akane thought.
"Want to spar with me?" Akane asked.
"Nope." Ran-chan answered.
"What? I'm too weak for you?"
"No, I got things to do today." Ran-chan left with that reponse.
