I had this wild idea for a fic and I wanted to see what other folks thought
of it. That and whether there was any interest for me to start WRITING this
thing. It looks like it could be one loooong story.
First off, in this universe Ranma Saotome is in love with Atsuko Natsume
(Nuku Nuku, you know the android with the brain of a cat?). Before you have
the knights declare a crusade, Ranma has feelings for Akane too, and Ukyo
is starting to grow on him. He was just taking an evening stroll with Nuku
when all Hell broke loose. An new type of Terminator, the T-1200 (aka
Mechanoid) attacks them, severely damaging Nuku and pounding Ranma into a
bloody red stain on the floor before Professor Ryusuke (Nuku's creator)
zaps it with an EMP rifle, shutting down its robotic brain.
You see, Skynet has not only discovered time-travel, it mastered reality
travel as well and was planning to invade this reality. It looked into the
future and found that it would be defeated by a series of cyborgs based on
the NK-1124 model (ie, Nuku) and lead by Ranma. To prevent this, Skynet
sicced its prototype Terminator on them to get them out of the way of its
plans for world dominion. The T-1200 is based on a different design
paradigm than the earlier models of Terminators. Its eight feet tall and
looks a lot like a small Mecha, complete with autocannons.
Now the good professor knows he can fix Nuku but he can't really do much
for Ranma. When Nuku pleads with him to save Ranma's life, he relents and
tries a reckless experiment. Prof Ryusuke had found a android body in an
ancient cavern. There were no control systems but there was a cavity in its
head that would just fit a human brain. Upon inspection, the body's
ancient- more than a millenia old but its systems seem to be in perfect
working order. Prof. tried to install Ranma's brain into this body and the
operation was a success. Little did he know the origins or prowess of this
particular body.
This is the Berserker Body from Battle Angel Alita. If you're not familiar
with the series, let me fill you in on some details. The Berserker Body is
constructed of nanotechnology and is incredibly powerful. It heals up
damage rapidly, is strong enough to tear a T-800 apart with its bare hands
and can fire plasma jets at a temperature of 2000 Kelvins. It is also a
weapon of indescriminate destruction and Ranma must constantly fight the
urges from the Berserker Body to simply level Tokyo.
Meanwhile, back at the Tendo household, Akane is incensed when she learns
that Ranma was killed by a Robot and so her, Ryoga, Shampoo, Mousse, Kuno
and Kodachi storm the gates of Mishima Heavy Industries, the only combat
mecha suppiler in Japan. Six T-1000s popped out of the ground and mowed
them down like wheat. Skynet had taken control of Mishima so that it could
use its immense facilities to construct Terminators.
Ranma watched the slaughter as it was reported on the news and vowed
vengeance there and then. He noticed that Ukyo wasn't amoungst the slain so
he went to Ucchan's to check up on her. Naturally Ukyo glomped onto Ranma
when she found out that he was alive. He told her of his secret but asked
her to vow never to reveal to anyone that Ranma Saotome was still alive.
Ukyo begged him to let her take part in his personal war but Ranma refused
citing that it was too dangerous for her to be even seen near him. Ukyo
said one word that changed Ranma's mind. Guyver.
Yep, old Spatula Girl is a Guyver.
The next night, Ranma-Berserker and Ukyo-Guyver paid Mishima a little visit
only to find that someone in a Gothic costume with lots of chains was
blowing away their defense systems with blasts of Hellfire. A person who in
life was our favourite Kawaiikune Otemba-chan (uncute tomboy). Akane is now
a Hellspawn. You see, as Akane lived a violent life and died a violent
death. That meant that she would be sentenced to the ninth circle of Hell,
the Hell of the violent. Balash, the demon of Wrath offered Akane the same
deal as our man Al got. Look out world Akane-Spawn is in the building.
Now they have four hyper-powered teenagers tackling a near omniscent
Skynet.
Cool ne?
Tell me what you think of this idea!
