Spring of Drowned Monster? Hoo Boy. A Ranma 1/2 and Monster Rancher Fanfiction written by Shaun Garin <><><> Episode 1 : DAZE! Ranma’s arrival! “Bringing Ranma from China. - Saotome.” Soun Tendo wept loudly, adding another inch to the Koi pond collection. “Finally! After all this time!” <><><> Elsewhere, from out of the mists, a strange yellow eyeball creature came barrelling out of the mists like a bat out of hell. It carried a backpack in its teeth. Behind it, an angry girl charged after it. She wore a pair of loose black pants, a red shirt and around her neck she wore a green crystal. Her hair was a dark red and she sported a lean figure but had natural curves from increased excersize. Her eyes were a deep blue shade, just bordering on the edge of deep purple. She carried a backpack but seemed not to be weighed down by it as she increased her speed. “COME BACK HERE YOU BOUNCING EYEBALL!” The eyeball increased his speed in an attempt to get away from the girl who persued her. <><><> A knock at the door startled Soun from his embarrased look. “Ah, that must be them now.” “Ooh, I’ve gotta see this guy.” As the pair dissapeared around the corner, Kasumi and Akane stood up. Akane fumed. “Must be another perverted boy.” The amount of venom she placed in the word boy could have charbroiled a rhino. Suddenly, the pair dashed around the corner, persued by a sweating yellow eyeball on a tail. “IT’S A MONSTER!” Akane screamed, picking up the table. “WAIT!” It cried in a somewhat scratchy voice. “You’ve gotta hide me!” “Hide you Eyeball-san? From who?” From outside, the gate slammed open and closed and the voice of a young girl was heard. “Here Pops, come and face me.” The Suezo bigsweated and jumped behind Soun. Soon, a tallish girl with shortish dark red hair came out into the veranda. “Ah HA! Pops, there’s no hiding now.” “I, uh... now boy, there’s no need to get upset...” “Upset? UPSET?!?!?! Take a LOOK at me!” “Now just hold on you,” Akane snapped, “Who the heck are you anyways?” “I’m Ranma Saotome and that’s my idiot father, Genma.” Soun blinked and turned around to stare the eyeball monster. “Saotome?” “Hey Soun!” Soun fainted. <><><> “So, you’re really a guy? And this is a curse?” Ranma nodded. “When we were in China, we visited the Cursed Training Grounds of Jusenkyo. Pops didn’t know how to speak Chinese let alone understand it. It happened like this...” <><><> The pair clashed together and seperated. Then they clashed again, not heeding the frantic shouts of the Guide. Soon, Ranma jumped up and landed on Genma’s head. With a tremendous splash, Genma plunged into the waters below. “HA!” Ranma crowed in triumph. “Suck that Old Man!” Suddenly, the waters below started to churn and with an explosive jump, a yellow creature leapt up and landed on a pole. Ranma’s eyes bugged out as the single huge eyeball opened up. “What the heck is that?!” he shouted to the Guide. “Mr. Customer has fallen into Spring of Drowned Suezo. Now he take on form of Suezo, the Eyeball Monster.” “You’re kidding, right? AUGH!” Suddenly, his father emitted a wild battle cry and slammed the Martial Artist into the pool a few ways away. With a gasp of air, Ranma broke the surface and inhaled. The guide then said seriously. “Oh Mr. Customer, you fall into Spring of Drowned Girl. Now you turn into girl.” Ranma patted her body a few times and then opened her Gi top. She then shrieked as she found a pair of breasts. About 32 Inches, a small part of her brain said. As she clutched the top of her Gi, she then noticed an object in her hand. She then found a mid sized green gem on a leather strap. “Huh? What’s this?” “I no not. We go to Amazon Village, yes? They know much.” Ranma-chan nodded feebly as she climbed out of the water. His father turned Suezo hopped up. “You okay Boy?” he asked in a scratchy voice. She jumped a bit before calming down. “Man, this is going to need some getting used to.” <><><> “The true horror of the Cursed Springs of Jusenkyo has never been known until now.” Ranma-chan looked at her fingers. “I know. But I guess it isn’t so bad. Hot water reverts us back to normal and Cold water changes us into our cursed forms.” Soun retrieved a kettle and poured it on Suezo and he yelped in pain. “OOW! Not so HOT!” “Well, this isn’t a bad development. Look, my daughters : Kasumi, she’s 19. Nabiki, age 17. And Akane age 16. Take your pick, they’ll be your financee.” “Um, Tendo-san? There’s something preventing me from taking a wife. I...don’t exactly know how to explain it so I’ll show you.” With that, she shut his eyes tightly and his body trembled for a split second. When she opened her eyes, she seemed to be out of focus before saying, “Hello, my name is Holly.” <><><> Episode 2 : SHOCK! Holly’s Tale. “I was born a long time ago, sometime around the turn of two millenia ago. I grew up in a village, hearing stories about a wonderous Phoenix that would change all Bad Monsters into Good ones. And to bring back all the Lost Monsters in the world. Then, one day, Muu attacked. He destroyed everything, leaving me and Suezo with the Magic Stone.” “We travelled the world, finding Mystery Disks with the Magic Stone and soon, one day, we encountered a boy named Genki. Soon, we had picked up more allies and friends. Golem. Tiger. Hare and Mocchi. Then, one day...”
