Ranma – The Hex Factor

"Oh no sir, you fall in spring of drown young girl, tragic story of girl who drown in spring 3 months ago. See now you girl!"
"AHHHHHHH....POP I'm GOING TO KILL YOU!"
3 hours later....
"So you see Mr. Customers, curses reverse with hot water, until splashed with cold water again."
"So your saying I now have the body of some gajin girl that drowned here 3 months ago?" Ranma said as he looked down upon the very pale, very female body he now possessed ink black hair falling into his eyes.
"Yes sir, you first ever to fall into that spring, very new. There is an ancient spring of drown girl on the other side of the training grounds as well, first time we ever have two of the same type of spring."
"Whatever...can I just have the hot water now?" Ranma gestured emphatically with his hands and watched with amazement as one entire side of the hut disintegrated into nothing
1 month later...Nermia ward Tokyo
Rain was falling in sheets as a morose looking Caucasian girl in Chinese clothing trudged behind of all things a giant panda
"Pops do you really think that this is a good idea, us visiting your friend? I mean this curse has, well, a tendency to destroy things for no reason. Shouldn't we be looking for a cure, or at least putting off visiting people until I have these weird powers under control?" The black haired girl asked the panda. The panda whipped around with a sign
BOY! Stop whining like a girl, this is a very important visit! The sign flipped, If you had any discipline you would have control of those new powers by now and incorporated them into anything goes! Flip, Instead of whining like a pathetic girl you look like! Ranma had progressively been getting more irate as his fathers mute tirade continued.
"Arrghhh, that's enough old man!" Ranma shouted as he flung his arms out wide and his father suddenly found himself imbedded in a concrete retaining wall. "Suck on that pops! I'm going back to china!"
2 Weeks Later -- Xavier School for Gifted Youngsters: Bayville, NY
Charles Xavier gently placed a silver helmet back on the desk with a troubled frown.
Logan, Cyclops, Ororo, Rogue; please meet me in the study, an urgent matter has come to my attention
A few minutes later they assembled in front of Xavier in the study.
"As you all know, Wanda or The Scarlet Witch, disappeared shortly after your initial confrontation with her at the mall. I believe that her father, Magneto, tried and failed to manipulate her mind into forgetting his abuse of her. I was able to trace her with cerebro off and on until she disappeared in western china about three months ago. I was almost positive that she had died. However over the past month Cerebro has detected her once again, though something seems to be preventing me from getting a fully accurate reading and she disappears entirely from time to time. The most recent detection was the closest to an accurate reading I've had and she seems to have stopped her journey in Tokyo, Japan. Given the extreme nature of her powers, she is simply to dangerous to allow to wander in what is most likely an unsettled state of mind. Besides which she is bound to eventually draw attention to herself and thus the attention of Magneto."
"So what do you want' us to do chuck?" Logan grunted.
"Those of us here are going to travel to Tokyo and try and talk her into returning to the institute with us. I believe with enough counseling she could become a very valuable member of the team." At this the assembled people in the room looked skeptically at the professor. "Unfortunately if she does not choose to come with us, and she doesn't appear stable we will have to try and subdue Wanda so that she can get the treatment she needs and stay out of Magneto's clutches." Scott Stood up and spoke.
"Right Professor, you can count on us. Lets go X-men, even with the blackbird its going to be a long flight to Japan.

"RANMA NO BAKA!!" Akane shouted as she launched Ranma-chan into low earth orbit.
"Oh, my Ranma really shouldn't have disintegrated Akane's Clothing like that." Kasumi said as though she were commenting on the weather.
"To be fair, Akane should have learned by now not to surprise Ranma when he's in female form." Nabiki replied looking up from her manga on the couch.
Somewhere in Tokyo
"Stupid Violent Tomboy." Ranma-chan grumbled as she trudged down the street idly gesturing with hands and causing various things around the block to disintegrate or explode. "She knows not to sneak up on me when I'm in this stupid body, it's not like I can control it! Uncute, Sexless Tomboy!"
WANDA STOP THIS A voice echoed inside Ranma-Chan's head and she jerked to a sudden stop and looked around warily. A moment's glance around the street brought to her notice an older gajin in a wheelchair with a tall African woman at his side, and several people lurking behind various trees or in shadows that seemed to be attempting to surround her. Bringing herself up into a defensive stance she shouted.
"Alright you assholes, I don't know what your game is but you can come out! I know you're there and if any of you try anything your going to regret it!" The old man in the chair seemed to get a puzzled expression that faded into concentration.
Your...not Wanda..how.. The voice echoed in his mind again and as Ranma's Sensitive mind felt what seemed like fingers tickling her brain she shouted
"Agghhh, Get out of my head!" As she flung her arms forward and caused the street to erupt in front of her. The tremors knocked pedestrians off their feet and overturned the wheelchair that the old gajin was in, at which moment Ranma felt the connection in her mind stop. "There's more where that came from if you try anything like that again. Now tell me who you are and just what the hell is going on here!"
Meanwhile among the X-men all of the team was nervously preparing for a fight while the two people that had some idea of the situation, Xavier and Logan (him understanding Japanese), tried to work out just what they had discovered here.
"Chuck I don't know what you found out in her head, but that ain't Wanda. It might smell like her, it might look like her, but it ain't. I don't know anything beyond that."
"Yes Logan, I wasn't able to get very much before she broke the contact, but it was enough to see a very disciplined mind that has no idea who we are. Her name according to her is Ranma."
"Wild Horse eh," Logan looked at the girl and the defiant defensive stance she was holding as she glanced between all the positions the X-Men held, "yeah I could see that."
"Logan, you seem to have a good intuition in this situation, do you want to try talking with her. I believe I might have some work to do to regain her trust after that probe into her mind."
"Whatever, I'll see what I can do." Logan responded before turning to the girl and taking a few non-threatening steps towards the girl. "Sorry about this kid, you sorta reminded us of a girl that we've had to fight before. She wasn't exactly playing with a full stack you know. And well when we saw you walking along causing random destruction we sort of jumped the gun. In the future you might want to try and avoid city wide chaos when you go for a stroll, by the way my names Logan." Ranma glanced nervously behind her and then chuckled shyly while scratching at her pigtail.
"Heh, Sorry about that I didn't even realize. I kinda got these weird powers recently and sometimes I don't even notice what I'm doing. I'll try to keep a closer watch. Is there anything else or can I go home? I'm hungry and I've got an Uncute Tomboy at home that I need to yell at for hitting me halfway across the city."
"Kid, mind if we walk you home? We sort of run a school for people with powers like yours to teach them how to control them and use them responsibly, any possibility your interested?"
"You run a DOJO that can teach me to control these powers?!" Ranma asked excitedly before regaining some caution. "Alright you can come if you promise not to try and attack me or cause any trouble for the Tendo's." Suddenly Ranma glared, "and as long as he," Ranma gestured towards Xavier, "can keep his damn mind where it belongs. I don't know how he did that, but if I even suspect he's doing it again then all bets are off."
"It's a deal Kid, whets your name?"
"Soatome Ranma, Sorry about this."
