Dragon Ascendant
(Multi-universe crossover)

Disclaimer: None of the series mentioned or used belong to me. Ditto
for the RPG's, books, and other stuff. 'Nuff said.
Notes: This one is an experiment; instead of a Ranma-based fic, this
is a fic that may involve the Ranma 1/2 series peripherally, at best.
The protagonist is from the Shadowrun RPG, and will be encountering/
visiting many different universes/dimensions (dimensional theory from
RIFTS will play a sizable part of this). Oh, and don't expect much in
the way of protagonist romance like in my other stories... the
protagonist is, to say the least, not quite human...
Notes II: Okay, I thought that this story would be replaced by "Ranma,
Desert-Born." I was wrong. Instead, this will be an attempt at a
humorous look at various anime (and non-anime) series', as the draconic
protagonist wanders the multiverse in a totally unnecessary quest for
'excitement, adventure, and really wild things.'
And, no, before you ask, he won't eat the Senshi. The moon cats, on the
other hand, may become appetizers...
Chapter 1: Fly Swatting and Cheeseburgers
Llewydd stepped through the ragged tear in the air and onto the
pavement of a new world. He curled his thirty-foot length (plus a tail)
around, and sighed. He shook his head in exasperation at the latest...
encounter. One would expect the very young human to exibit fear or panic,
perhaps. Maybe even awe. Instead, what he got was... well...
**** flashback ****
"Sakura, get it now!" shouted a small flying odd-looking little beast
that would hardly make a good appetizer.
The human girl leapt towards him and swung a mighty blow... with an
absolutely ridiculous-looking wand. It hit his foot, and the girl
shouted "Lizard card, return!"
Nothing happened. Llewydd bent his head down and gazed down with
cross-eyed annoyance at the started little girl.
'You've GOT to be kidding me.'
She frowned, and tried again.
"Return!"
(bonk!)
He gave her a slightly menacing-looking scowl, although inside he was
quite amused.
'Precocious, isn't she...'
He cocked his massive head to one side and scratched the back of it
with a sharp claw.
"You COULD try asking, you know," he offered with a visible smirk.
Sakura blinked. It... talked.
"Ummm... would you pretty please return?" she asked with big over-
sized eyes.
"Ahhh... no."
She gave a growl, and then whacked his foot again (this being the
only body part she could conveniently reach at the moment).
"Return!"
He reached out and delicately plucked the funny stick from her
hand.
"Excuse me for a minute," he said as he tracked the flying...
whatever-it-was with his eyes, and then...
(SWAT!)
He then gave her wand back to her.
"You... you... you..." she stammered.
"Yes?"
"You DENTED IT!"
He smiled and shook his head slightly. Concentrating his energies,
he reopened the gate and jumped through, holding his 'souvenier'
for his collection in one claw.
The hole sealed up with a small flash, while behind him, Keroberus
growned and staggered upright.
"Ooo... maybe that WASN'T the Lizard Card..."
Meanwhile, a boy about the age of the girl ran up.
"Whatever it was, it took my sword... and ran off with the nearby
Museum exibit!!"
**** end flashback ****
Humans... who could understand the things...
His stomach gave a large growl and he sighed. Time to find something
to eat... he'd already run Milliways out of stock twice, and he
wasn't welcome there anymore... and he'd paid with gold, too...
He sniffed the air. He smelled meat. Lots of it.
He did have to admit that humans did have their uses... and cooking
was one. The sheer variety of manners and styles of dishes and spices
that various groups of them made was... heavenly. He especially had a
fondness for meat dishes (as most dragons would), and he smelled
something familiar...
He tramped towards a building marked with a yellow double-arch. It'd
been a while since he had fast food. He absent-mindedly wiped his foot
off on a nearby ornamental bush after it squished in something.
Behind him, all was chaos.
"You... you... you bastard! You killed Kenny!"
"Yeah... you stepped on him and quished him right up, you big lizard."
Llewydd wasn't paying any attention as he crashed through the wall of
the McDonalds, not bothering to change shape, and slapped a small gold
nugget down on the counter in front of the startled cashier.
"Five hundred double quarter-pounders with cheese."
The cashier just shook as if in a stiff wind.
"What? What's the problem?"
"Uhh... s-s-sir... y-y-you're a-a-a-a?"
"A what?"
"D-d-d-dra-a-a -"
"So?" Llewydd held up a gleaming claw and poked it at the frightened
man. "Is that a... problem?"
"N-n-no! F-f-five hundred ch-ch-ch-cheeseburgers coming up!"
The large dragon gave a satisfied smirk.
'Ahh... what you have to do to get some service around here...'

Author's Notes: Well, I turned this into a totally off-the-wall
chaotic whatever-it-is fic, after deciding to take the more serious
ideas and stick them in "Ranma, Desert-Born." I hope you like it, and
I'm very much opened to suggestions on various universes to have

PS: No, I doubt he'd actually EAT the moon cats... well... okay,
maybe...
