Prologue:I'm a WHAT?
Most of you are familiar with how this starts out father and son go to Jusenkyo and get cursed well here is where it changes from what your familiar with...
As Ranma's body was submerged in the cool water of the spring his father turned panda kicked him in to he knew something was wrong, his hair did not move like normal in fact it felt as if he was bald he moved his hand to the top of his head and conformed he was now bald, colors shifted slightly becoming a little more vibrant followed by a headache worse than the time his father tossed him off a cliff when he was seven.

The pandafied saotome landed beside the Guide staring at his hands turned paws for a few moments before looking to the Guide seeking a explanation as to why he was no longer human.
Seeing the elder saotomes reaction to being cursed being somewhat typical of people who fall into one of the cursed springs he began to explain the curse."Honored customer fall in Shonmaonīchuan, spring of drowned panda, very tragic story of panda who drown in spring two thousand year ago one of more than one hundred cursed spring here, now you is cursed to be panda when cold water touch you, there short time cure through hot water is no permanent though"
In what would pass for a pandas expression horror he turned to the spring his son fell in to imagining what manner of creature his son would become and praying to his ancestors that it would not be a cat.

Disoriented his lungs burning for air. Ranma swam to the surface and took great gasps or air panting a little. Having seen what happened to his father he started to pat him self down, his eyes grew in fright when his hands fell onto his or should I say her chest, terrified she reached down in to her pants to find to her growing horror little Ranma was missing.
The Guide seeing her surface began to explain about the spring Ranma fell in to "Honored young customer fall in Chuankiyentzulanyailaifhunyu, spring of drowned blue alien woman, very tragic story of blue alien woman drown here over three thousand year ago, you is fall in spring now you take body of blue alien woman's,"
Ranma stiffened for a few seconds before letting out a ear piercing shriek of horror and fear that could be heard for miles.

Ranma having been shaken out of his shock and his father are in the Guide's hut in there birth form's being told of the things the curses do other than the transformation "Curses attract water to bearer like magnet, good if go through desert but mostly at bad time, also some curses change mind too some is instant is like two people in one body others slow and take many years to change mind, others no change mind like spring of drowned panda or spring of drowned girl no know about spring of drowned blue alien woman tho, honored young customer is first to fall in since spring cursed"
"Is there any cure?" asked Genma it would not do for his son to turn into a woman much less one that was not human what would happen if Nodoka found out? He shivered at that thought
"If is it not known to me" replied the Guide " But there village near here it have long history and much knowledge of springs they many know cure, village not far from here, this one take you there"
"Then what r' we waitin' for lets get goin' "replied Ranma from the doorway with his pack over his shoulder
"Yes lets get moving" Said Genma standing up from his chair grabbing his pack and heading after his son

almost six hours and one freak rain storm later they approached the village in there cursed forms with the Guide, its gates open revealing the inside of the amazonian village "oh sirs we is lucky they is having tournament to chose village champion is great honor" said the Guide watching a bulky body builder looking woman fighting a lithe and busty young purple haired girl
Genma-Panda glanced at the fight before ignoring it Bah, just little girls playing warrior looking of to the side he noticed a table with food on it lumbering toward it the ever present Saotome hunger deciding his next course of action, Eat
"Hmm." said Ranma following Genma to the table while keeping her eyes on the fight while eating with just as much fever as her father
The fight ended a few moments later the purple haired girl the victor she she made a slow three hundred sixty degree turn thrusting her fists in the air as the crowed cheered she had a smile on her face till she noticed the blue woman and a panda eating her victory feast at witch point she leaps of the challenge log to land a few feet from the two screaming in cantonese at the bald blue woman who dared eat her feast
The Guide noticing there great blunder ran over and hastily translated for the japanese duo "She say she Shampoo she village champion, she say you eat her feast she want to know what give you right to be eating champion victory feast and say you bring great shame on honored sirs self taking what no is yours"
Swallowing a piece of food that was in her mouth Ranma said "then she wont have a problem' bout it if I became the champion would she?"
The Guide translated the response and Shampoo barked out a short angry reply before jumping onto the challenge log witch the guide translated "she say she accept honored sirs challenge"
Genma panda held up a sign that read "Go get her, show her a" Flip "anything goes martial artist" Flip "is not to be taken lightly"
Ranma stood up and told her father "yeah, yeah pops im goin' shesh" wiping food from her mouth she leaped onto the log to face her opponent a cocky smirk on her face
Shampoo glared at her opponent This Jusenkyo cursed tart is not taking me seriously! Angry and tired shampoo charged hoping to end the fight quickly
Ranma stood there rocking back and forth on the balls of her feet all the time the smirk never left her face even as her opponent lost her cool and charged her starting with a feint to her ribcage on the right but over extended on her follow through punch directed at her head sloppy ranma thought as she ducked under the punch, grabbed Shampoos wrist and planted her foot in her stomach flipping shampoo off the challenge log
Ranma hopped of the log to land by her opponent "I win" she said cockily as shampoo stood up and walked toward her when shampoo was before her she began to get a little nervous when she grabbed her face and kissed her cheek she was stunned, just then a short old lady with long white hair wearing a green outfit stepped forwarded "you have been given the kiss of death outsider surrender now and die or be hunted down and killed like a frightened rabbit running from a lion"
Ranma would have made a cocky comment but never got the chance as her father in human form with a tea kettle on hand snuck up behind the old woman and knocked her out "lets get out of here!" he shouted as he grabbed Ranma and the Guide and fled the village of stunned woman warriors.

in the center of the village there was a large clearing with six seats in a crescent moon formation facing a carved stone dais in five chairs sat five of the most powerful and wise women of the tribe and on the dais were two people, the old woman and shampoo faced the council heads bowed to answer questions about the events of hours past"Xian' puu' were you defeated by a outsider?" asked one "yes" was the reply "was the outsider female?"asked another "yes"was again the answer "Was this defeat seen by more than two people?" asked the third "yes" "Did you give the outsider the 'kiss of death' as demanded by out law?" asked the fourth "yes" "Are you going to uphold our laws by hunting down and killing this outsider?" asked the fifth "Yes" "then step down and prepare for the hunt you leave in the hour, may the Goddess watch over you" said the first"As the council wishes and law demands so shall I do, Goddess be praised" said shampoo as she stepped of the dais
"Kuu' Lon' I never thought id be asking this of you, but were you defeated by an outsider?" asked the first "yes" was Kuu' Lon's terse reply, chuckling the second asked"Was the outsider male?" "Yes" "was this defeat seen by more than two people?" asked the third "Yes" "You are aware your marriage made you immune to the marriage laws regarding male outsiders?" asked the fourth "Yes" "how ever as you were widowed more than twenty years ago the laws of our tribe state you must once again held to the marriage laws and hunt down this outsider to make him your husband, do you intend to fulfill the laws and your duty to the tribe by bringing back the male who defeated you and bring his blood and knowledge into the tribe?" said the fifth Kuu' Lon's grip on her gnarled wooden staff tightened causing it to groan "Yes" she said through girding teeth "then step down Kuu' Lon' sixth member of the council and prepare for the hunt, since your husband and Xian Puu's prey left together they most likely are traveling together you leave with your great grand daughter in the hour, may the Goddess watch over you" said the first "As the council wishes and law demands so shall I do, Goddess be praised" Grumbled Kuu' Lon' as she stepped down and headed for her hut to prepare for soon she and Xian puu would hunt one for a outsiders hand in marriage the other for the death of a outsider
