Second Bet - Reilynn's Entry:
Ranma in the Magnificent World
A Ranma 1/2 fanfict by Tangent
DISCLAIMER: 'Ranma 1/2' and all characters therein
belong to Rumiko Takahashi, Shogagukan, Kitty, and
Viz Video. El Hazard belongs to whomever it belongs to.
This fanfict has been produced for my own enjoyment and
to pass on without profit. Other characters that come into
play in this fanfict may or may not be pulled from other
sources (including other fanficts, RPGs, manga, anime,
literature, or possibly even *GASP* American comic books!).
A WORD FROM TANGENT: This story presumably
takes place after the failed wedding between Ranma and
Akane. On the El Hazard side, the second demon god had
just been dealt with, and Mr. Masamichi Fujisawa and
Miz Mishtal had finally gotten married. And now for something
a little different...
PRELUDE I: Mimer's Well
Toltiir and Great Fox (or, as Toltiir insisted he be called
during the second bet, Foxy) watched as the newcomer
approached them at Mimer's well. She had a human aspect,
appearing as an adult woman with short, raven-black hair and
eyes as blue as sapphires. Her attire was gloriously mismatched
in such a way that it seemed entirely appropriate for her to be
wearing it that way. A leather sandal with blue ribbon straps and
a ruby set near the gap between the big toe and the rest graced
her right foot, while a red boot with an opal set in it adorned her left.
On her left thigh rode a golden garter festooned with a red ribbon.
Her belt was a jumble, half blue stained leather with gold trim and
silver inlays, and half metal chain of gold, copper and bronze discs
arranged in no particular order. A blue silken panel descended from
the emerald clasp, wrapping around her right leg and between her
legs to attach to the buckle once again. A milti-color woven band
draped from the buckle to the left, clipping to the panel in the back
so that the incidental modesty that it provided wasn't as random as
it seemed. She wore a blue leather glove set with a carbuncle on
her right hand, and a multi-color bracer with gold and brass trim on
her left forearm. Her final piece of attire (if you could call it that) was
a green silken scarf draped around her neck and across her right
breast, one end continuing behind her back until both joined at a
large brass ring dangling before her navel.
On her left breast, which was bare, was her goddess marking.
A stylized question mark, or possibly a flying serpent, all in
incandescent blue.
"Let me guess," Toltiir remarked (choosing to appear as a
black cat - one of his current favorite forms). "You're a Chaos
Goddess from one of the outlying realms in the Kami-plane, right?"
"Reilynn d'Acun'Bas'Imyth, Daughter of Chaos, and Goddess
of Mischief, Magic, and Mayhem at your service, uncle Toltiir!" the
self-proclaimed magami beamed.
Foxy sweatdropped. "Uncle?"
"Don't let it bother you, Foxy," Toltiir chided. "Acun'Bas'Imyth
was an Old One. Any child of his would be considered a relative
of mine." Toltiir then addressed Reilynn, "Although cousins
would be a better term. So... What brings an Elder Goddess
from the boonies anyway?"
"I'm not that old anymore," Reilynn corrected. "I've reformatted
a couple of times since father went to sleep. This incarnation isn't
much older than twenty thousand years of age."
"And your point is?" Toltiir asked, smirking. Some of the wilder
Elders were like that - choosing to break up the monotony of their
nearly endless existence by breaking their span into discrete
segments. He had contemplated doing so himself from time to
time, but had never been that bored himself.
"Well, I heard about your first bet too late to make an entry
for it, so I thought that I'd give this one a go."
"So you're here to make an entry then." Toltiir stepped aside
and indicated the well.
"And so I am," agreed Reilynn, who then dropped a jade puzzle
ball into the well. Promptly, the well focused on the image of a
huge structure floating high in the sky of El Hazzard, which the
locals called the Eye of God. The puzzle ball appeared above it,
tiny by comparison, and thus unnoticed by anyone there. It fell and
struck the Eye of God, breaking into its component pieces and
releasing a tremendous amount of divine energy...
PRELUDE II: Sudden Loss...
Genma was just finishing up his shift at Dr. Tofu's clinic
when Kasumi ran in the front door. Her cheeks were running
with tears and she seemed to be in a panic. She rushed into
his arms and sobbed into his shoulder.
"Mr. Saotome!" she cried. "It's terrible! The house...the
dojo... their gone! My father... sobsobsobgasp
