I have some crossover ideas I want to incorporate into the "Cooperate
Takeover" series. As my co-writer appears to be missing in action, I'm
going to hit the FFML with it.

5 stars means it's going into the story.
1 star means that it might get thrown out.

I really want some C&C. Thanks in advance.

Crossover idea:
Ranma 1/2 / Rurouni Kenshin
***
Where was Happosai 300 years ago? He was in Kyoto. What was he doing?
Learning the greatest sword technique of all time . . . 

Crossover idea:
Tenchi Muyo / Ranma 1/2 / Final Fantasy VII
*****
It begins with a school. What school, you ask? Well, let's put it this way.
Remember in Tenchi Muyo, we hear about Washu's academy days? Yes. That
school. In the Cooperate Takeover continuation, Washu was number 1 in her
school for all her years there except for one. The first year. The year
that a certain alien graduated. This "certain alien," was, undoubtedly, the
universe's greatest scientist. She's also the only person in the entire
universe to have held the title of number 1 for all her years at the
science academy. She's the one Washu lost to that first year. 
Some more background information about this "certain alien": It appears
that her species of origin is the same as a certain being named Jenova.
Essentially, this species can transform into almost anything, and can
recall body parts across the spans of entire planets after being cut up
into little pieces and scattered. How they do this lies in the fact that
their body parts act only as anchors for their souls. While the body parts
may be in themselves animate or inanimate, the soul is within all parts and
are controlled by a single mind unhoused in a physical body. Animate parts
possess a distinct DNA that can be traced back the species of origin. 
The distinct difference between this "certain alien" and Jenova is that
this "certain alien" has absolutely no record of being militant. She,
infact, had close ties with the Jurainian royal family (Once she was a
royal advisor. We have no idea why she quit.) before she went missing. She
disappeared directly after her graduation and hasn't been seen since. Many
suspect Washu. Many don't know that Washu also happens to be in the dark.
Actually she just decided to wander off. After several hundred milleniums,
she came to a place where she was needed, and she settled down. There was a
man grieving for his wife, and two little girls who had just lost their
mother. The "certain alien" stepped into their lives, and she called
herself "Kasumi."

Crossover idea:
Tenchi Muyo / Lost Universe / Slayers
*** (I don't know much about Lost Universe)
Once upon a time, on a planet far, far away, there was a sorceress. The
sorceress was actually demoness, but nobody ever bothered to tell her that.
One day she decided to run away from home, mainly from her elder sister,
whom she considered to be the scariest person in the world, and who in
actuality was one of the strongest demon alive. She girl began to travel,
and she came to know three goals in life: a) Food b) Money and c) Power. 
After awhile, she fell in love with a swordsman bearing the sword of light,
and they were married. About sixty generations later: It's AD 1999. Of
course, only the people of a back-water planet in a more unfashionable part
of the universe cared. In another part, the trouble contractor Kane
Blueriver, descendant of a certain Lina Inverse, has heard of his namesake,
the legendary criminal Kain. Galaxy police has hired him to track the
bastard down. Kain has other plans.

Crossover idea:
Sailormoon / Ranma / Final Fantasy VII
*****
Every living planet has a LifeStream. Not every LifeStream is active.
Earth, for example, has a dormant one, last active in the days of the
Silver Millenium. Back then, there was a powerful queen, versed in the ways
of mako, and she harnessed its wild powers for the betterment of her
kingdom. When she died, however, she used her last breath to seal up the
LifeStream forever, lest someone use its powers for wrongdoing. The seal
wasn't very tight. After several thousand years, the locals renamed it
Jusenkyo. Guess what happened next.
The summer of AD 1999. Somewhere else in the universe, there's a planet
very similar to Earth. Several recent events have resulted ultimately in
sending a child of Jenova's species, native to this planet, to steal a ship
and go in search of a way to restore life. The ship is . . . a little, you
know . . . experimental. The Senshi have another Youma to capture. His name
is Cloud.

Crossover idea:
Rurouni Kenshin / Sakura Wars / EVA
****
Over a hundred and fifty or so years ago, a certain man decided to break
the law. He, a Japanese national, married a German woman, and was thus
excommunicated by the Edo officials. At this point, a rich old man
participating in the revolution hired him to do a bit of research, and
secretly brought him back to Japan. Why him? Because he was a genius. 
He and his wife settled down in a village some distance away from Kyoto,
where the old man had prepared a laboratory for him. The intent was to
develop a mechanical warrior, with capabilities far surpassing any human.
And so he began to work.
The wife was killed in the revolution. The man was seriously injured. The
child, believing both his parents dead, wandered off, just to be taken
under the wing of the greatest swordsman in Japan. 
Now, years later, Himura Kenshin faces his father, the mastermind behind a
project to protect the city of Tokyo. The battle is not going to begin for
several decades, but Himura Kenshin isn't involved in that battle. He's
dead. 
A little under half a century later, a girl named Sakura is brought to
Tokyo. The purpose: To protect the city. What from? Anything.
Meanwhile: Kenshin's mother had a sister, the great-grandmother of a
certain Asuka Langley, on the father's side of the family. Kenshin's little
brother is directly related to Ikari Shinji. 
The result: 
"Um, did you know you're related to me?" 
"Baka Shinji! Of course I'm not!"

Crossover idea:
Rurouni Kenshin / YuYu Hakusho
*****
Once, there was a swordsman with a very strange sword. What was so strange
about it? Its blade was backwards. When he died, the sword got a name:
Youken Shin no Ken.
AD 1999 - Youko Yusuke finds an S level youko. It's a sword.

Crossover idea:
Ranma 1/2 / The tale of the box (a Ranma fanfic rejected by by lots of
people because it doesn't have anything to do with Ranma)
*****
There was a box. Ancient Amazonian lore named this specific box to be the
most dangerous weapon to have ever been created by mankind. Why? Because
the holder doesn't even need to touch to kill. Heck, the holder doesn't
even need to want to kill. The rumor does the job. And presently, an old
man residing at a certain Tendo Dojo has it among his inventory. Trouble
brewing.

Crossover idea: (actually just a character introduction)
El-Hazard / Ah! My Goddess
****
AD 1989 - A boy, three classmates, and his teacher are sent to another
world by a demon-goddess named Ifurita. The boy spends several years in
this world, and he develops the abilities he's gained from the initial
faulty teleportation to frightening degree, almost becoming a demon-god
himself. He uses his abilities to return to Earth, arriving several hours
after he's left, to reclaim his love, the goddess who sent him to
El-Hazard.
AD 1999 - Nekomi Tech has two new students, and neither of them are the age
they claim to be. This summer, a few girls are arranging for a small
shopping spree in Nerima. Hmmm . . .

Crossover idea:
Key the Metal Idol / NukuNuku / BGC
****
Twenty years ago, a young scientist began to study under the wing an old
"maestro" in Hokkaido. After a few years of research, he mastered the
techniques the man taught, and he left for his betrothal. 
AD 1999 - Two "masterpieces" meet, one, a girl who believes she's a robot,
the other, a cat striving to be a human. Friends at first sight. 
Two corporate masterminds team up to destroy them. Another one, unseen by
the previous two, seeks to capture them. Who will win?

Crossover idea:
Sandman / Ah! My Goddess / Rurouni Kenshin
****
A man named Shishio, and his undying justice. These two perished in a freak
fire in the early Meiji. Guess what? Shishio's back from Hell, and this
time round, he's got himself an army of a thousand demons, all of them
ready to go on a rampage. 
Meanwhile . . . Lucifer got tired of Australia. He wants something more . .
. exotic. Nerima looks nice this time of the year. Especially since he
needs to investigate a few rather suspicious crossover rips from Hell to
Earth in the local area. A few unimportant goddesses are about to take in
an unexpected houseguest.

Crossover idea:
Kotaro Makaritoru / Ranma 1/2
*****
Sometime over fifty years ago, Happosai took in a student. His, shall we
say, not very good influence turned the student into an almost exact copy
of himself. Well, no, not exactly. See, this student, as time passed, got
better than Happosai himself, and presently controls more power than the
whole of Nerima put together. And he has a student, with powers approaching
his own. Not to mention his taste for female undergarments. 
Kotaro's coming to Nerima, summoned by his master's master to defeat Ranma.
Hmm . . . who do you thinks going to win?

Ranma: 
Strength: several tons total
Speed: Approx. 30 to 40 km per hour.
Ki: Moderate
Moral character: Socially retarded.
Intelligence: Steep learning curve
Style: Anything Goes

Kotaro:
Strength: never calculated (Can crack walls by flipping a pinky. Note that
I say "walls.")
Speed: He moves so fast, he can make it appear as if he's in a hundred
different places at once.
Ki: Extremely low, but his strongest move is essentially a ki attack
Moral character: Hentai
Intelligence: Can imitate almost any move on sight and store for later use
Style: Freestyle (a branch of Anything Goes?)

Things aren't looking very favorable for Ranma, are they? He's lucky he has
magic on his side. I mean, this guy's a hentai, right? The problem is,
Kotaro's got enemies.

???:
Strength: average
Speed: average
Ki: high, VERY high
Moral character: if he's a homicidal maniac, he hides it very well
Intelligence: he can predict what you're thinking
Style: "The Dance of Chaos"

???:
Strength: several tons
Speed: 50 km per hour
Ki: low
Moral character: He's an assassin. What can I say?
Intelligence: average
Style: Snake fist, Acupuncture points

???:
Strength: average
Speed: average
Ki: high
Moral character: goon
Intelligence: average
Style: martial arts modern dance, ki blade

This isn't very nice. There are more, but I'm not going to mention them, as
they might scare you off.

Croosover idea:
Nadia: Secret of the Blue Water / EVA
***
The legend of a young girl, and the repercussions of her actions more than
a century later. 'nuff said. You're asking me why I put this here? Both
were by GAINAX, and both involve Adam and the Antarctic. A slight
manipulation of events in Nadia, and we have a natural crossover. It's not
going to be very important though. Note: In the Cooperate Takeover
timeline, the Second Impact is going to be prevented. EVA is never going to
happen. More on that later.

Crossover idea:
Master of Mosquiton '99 / Ranma 1/2 / NukuNuku / BGC
*****
You've already seen this one. Recap: Meet Nabiki Tendo, secret controller
of the entire world. And her apprentice, Inaho. These two are about to take
on the second biggest corporation in Japan, Mishima Heavy Industries.
Meanwhile, in the darker corners of corporate Japan, a small company named
GENOME is watching closely.

Crossover idea:
X 1999: their destiny was foreordained
**
AD 1999. Kamui is in Tokyo. His attention is drawn towards the Nerima
district for reasons he can't understand.

Crossover idea:
Mermaid Forest / The Highlander / Rurouni Kenshin / YuYu Hakusho
****
Duncan McLeod decides to take a vacation. 
"Kamiya-sensei's family should be well. What was her husband's name again?
Himura . . . Himura Kenshin? I do believe someone inherited his sword
technique. I want a rematch."
Kenshin's alive and well. Duncan has other things to be worried about.
Like, for example, the pair of immortals that've been following him around
since morning.

Crossover idea:
Ghost Sweeper Megumi / EVA / Slayers
*****
Our favorite ghost sweepers are on their way to Antarctica to defeat the
Lord of the Flies. They just happen to cross paths with the Katsuragi
Expedition who will be staying on this continent for the next two years.
All's going fine until a dimensional cross-rip attracts the attention of a
greater Lord . . . 

And last but not least . . .

Crossover idea:
Ranma 1/2 / 3x3 Eyes / Vampire Princess Miyu
*****
Happosai's cursed mallet has given Ranma the greatest curse of all time.
What's this curse, you ask? Well . . . I'm going to sum up the effects:
a)	No magic works as it should around Ranma. The only spell that does work
is the Jusenkyo curse. What happens with the other magic? Um . . . magic
just . . . doesn't work.
b)	It links up fates quite in the manner of a certain Leland Gaunt. Gaunt
doesn't realize what he's screwing with here.

Tell me what you think :)
