Ranma: Neon Genesis

by Captain Blaze

What would happen if another trained with Genma, and Soun under their Master Happousai in the anything goes style?

1. 1: Happousai's other student

Ranma 1/2 is a creation of Rumiko Takahashi and is 
owned by Viz video. Evangelion and its characters belong to Gainax 

This is my first Ranma story so please bare with me I may make a lot of mistakes. Also the reason I am posting it here in the Ranma section is I plan to make 
it more Ranma than Evangelion. Eva fans might not take kindly to that. And two I've noticed that Ranma fans are much more tolarent and open minded than 
Eva fans.

Ranma ½: Neon Genesis

By Captain Blaze

Happousai's other student

It was a nice spring day in Nerima, the sun was shining the birds where chirping and there wasn't a cloud in site. The town it self was rather quiet for a Monday, there was little traffic, and little activity. That was until the cry of several young women broke the rather peaceful silence "PERVERT!" with that a group of high school girls chased after a small man in a purple training outfit with a large sack on his back saying over and over "What a haul. What a haul." the little man jumped from the ground and took to jumping across roof tops heading for his 'residence' the Tendo Dojo.

Back at the Tendo dojo another break in the silence could be heard but not the usual fighting between the pig tailed boy who turns into a girl and the youngest Tendo girl. The shouts came from Genma and Soun over an article Soun had read in the paper. "I can't believe it, Gendo is the commander of this Nerv organization. Instead of a dojo like he always said he was going to run. The nerve of the man, not continuing on the Anything goes school of martial arts." cried Soun crumpling the paper in his hands.

"I know Tendo I think we should pay a visit to our old friend, and find out why he chose to forsake his training." said Genma.

At that moment both Nabiki, Ranma and Akane walked in, just getting home from school. As the three entered the living room they all noticed that the men seemed a bit upset. Ranma didn't much care if his father was upset or not so chose to not say a word but Nabiki and Akane decided to voice their questions. "Whats wrong daddy you seem a bit upset for some reason?" said Akane much more worried then her sister.

The two fathers looked over at the girls "We just found out that one of our old friends who trained with us for years with the master has forsaken every thing he has learned in the Anything goes school of martial arts. Going against his honor to uphold the teachings of the master for something else." answered Genma for Soun was in no state to answer the question.

"Really who is he?" Akane inquired again.

Genma pried the paper from Soun's clenched hand and handed it to the youngest Tendo daughter. "Him." he told her.

Nabiki looked over her sisters shoulder as her young sister uncrumpled the paper, and both girls eyes went wide as they noticed who it was. The picture was one of Gendo Ikari commander of Nerv sitting at his desk with his hands folded in front of his face and the article was an interview with him. "T t this i is t t the, HE TRAINED WITH YOU TWO AND HAPPOUSAI!!!" both girls yelled in unison.

Ranma took the paper from the two Tendo sisters with a practiced speed no others in the house had learned, and examined the picture. "He don't look particularly strong, I don't get what the big deal is." he said honestly.

Nabiki, Akane and Kasumi were the only ones besides Happousai who watched TV at all so they were the only ones up to date on the events going on in Tokyo-3. Happousai didn't really care since it had nothing to do with his hobby. Kasumi also didn't worry because she busied her self in the household chores. Soun knew only a bit about it from the paper he read every morning, it really didn't matter to him at all. Akane only watched to see what she could of the battles, after the fourth angel attacked the PR people at Nerv gave up with the cover ups. Mainly because of all the video's circling on the net, Nerv decided submitting edited copies of the battles where better than letting the true battle get around. Since then the Evas had only fought nine angels only three battles were some what caught, the spider looking angel's fight was caught from a armature news camera man and all that was caught was it being tore to shreds by rifle fire. And then there was Nabiki who was concerned only because she ran the beating pool at school on which Evas would beat the next angel, and was the top supplier of pictures of the pilots, gained by a source she had that went to school and was in the same class as them. Her business started with him after she saw one of the pictures he got of the pilot of unit 02 when she first arrived. Since then she had e-mailed him many times with request for pictures. At first students only wanted pictures of the first and second children. But as one or two pictures of the third children got out almost all the girls and a few of the guys wanted them, even her own sister wanted a picture of him. And why not he was rather cute.

"The big deal Ranma is this guy is Gendo Ikari he is in charge of the most powerful organization in the world, and is charged with saving the world from the angels. Haven't you been following the news?" Nabiki asked and Ranma just shook his head.

At that moment Happousai who had heard the entire conversation, emerged from behind the porch door to reveal his presence "Who he is and what he does doesn't matter. The fact of the matter is he abandon my training and for that he'll have to answer to me. SOUN, GENMA come on we are going to pay Gendo Rokobungi a visit. Your coming to Ranma, this will be a great training trip."

At that point Akane made it her business to get involved in the conversation "I am coming to." she said holding her mallet menacingly, no one disagreed.

Geo front, Tokyo-3

Down in the dark depths of Nerv and the office of one Commander Gendo Ikari formally Gendo Rokobungi of the any thing goes school of martial arts, sat eating his lunch. He perfered to eat in his office instead of the cafeteria, enjoying his solitude and the silence of his office rather than the hustle and bustle of the cafeteria. As he picked his chop sticks to eat one of them snapped. To any modern day person they would just over look such a event but due to his rather unusual training no matter how out of date, it was an omen. "Happousai." he said and smirked, his past was about to come back on him and he welcomed the intrusion.

In the apartment of Shinji Ikari, Asuka Langly Souyhr, and Major Misato Katsurigi all was quiet, well as quiet as it gets when ones room mates are a alcoholic, self absorbed german, and a penguin. Shinji Ikari sat in his room escaping the jokes and berating he was receiving in the other room. He slowly turned off his SDAT and turned on the lamp next to his bed. Slowly dragging him self out of his bed he stood in the middle of the room and performed a kata that he had long ago learned. Over the years he repeated these motions almost by instinct now, he performed it mostly to calm himself or clear his mind. This was the first time though he had done it since coming to Tokyo-3, but with recent events he thought it would help.

Half way through the exercise the door to his bed room was thrown open by the german complement of the apartment he was to deep into his kata that he didn't even notice her entrance. Asuka was ready to yell for him to make dinner but slowly backed out as she realized the style Shinji was using, Shinji however just went on as if she didn't even come in.

Asuka slowly walked into the kitchen where her half inebriated guardian was working on becoming fully inebriated. The red head sat down across from the major, the proceeded to take the beer the older woman was drinking and finished it off her self. Misato rose an eyebrow in concern and asked "Whats wrong Asuka did you catch Shinji doing something nasty in his room?"

The pilot shook her head "No worst since when does Shinji know martial arts?" She asked.

The major blinked a few times before answering "He doesn't as far as his record goes, only you and Rei have any formal martial arts and in depth close combat training. Why?"

"I just caught Shinji in his room performing a some what complex kata." explained the red head.

"Shinji knows martial arts?" the major asked her self then opened another two beers, handing one to the second children and drinking the other one her self.

***

The next day, another nice sunny day Shinji, and Asuka are on their way to Nerv, since it was a Sunday and there was no school any long sync test were scheduled for that day. The german pilot wasn't to thrilled with her day off being wasted down in the geo front, and made no attempt at hiding this fact as she managed a new record of seven complaining remarks in 30 seconds. Shinji how ever didn't care all that much, he had nothing better to do really other than go over to either Touji's or Kensuke's. All in all it was an average Sunday, that is until Shinji, not really paying attention to where he was going ran into a panda. "Sorry.." shinji started to apologize but stopped as soon as he notice that it was a panda he ran into and not a person. It took all of five seconds for this event to totally register in the third children's mind. After that he let out a short scream in terror and tried hiding behind an equally scared Asuka.

The panda turned around and regarded the two children and then held up a sign that read [No excuse me. I happen to be lost.]

Shinji and Asuka looked at each other for a second before speaking "D-did that Panda just hold up a s-sign?" they then turned back to the panda and started at it.

The panda raised a eyebrow in an almost human like fashion and held up another sign [What? Do I have something on my face?] and the panda began to rub his face trying to find what was on it.

The second and third children were absolutely dumbstruck, in all fourteen years of their lives have they ever witnessed any thing like this. Not even living with a warm water penguin that drank beer, watched TV and read the newspaper prepared them for this. For two people use to fighting in two hundred foot robots against just as big or bigger monsters, they were still thrown for a loop here. Here in front of them was a panda that thought it was human, from holding up signs to human behavior. They were about to turn tail and run away from the panda when a pig-tail boy wearing a red Chinese silk shirt and black pants came up next to them and began speaking to the panda. "Hey pops what are you trying to do scare people?" the pig tail boy scolded the panda. The boy then turned to the two pilots "Sorry about pops, he's an idiot." that comment earned him a smack up side the head from an sign that read [Mind your manors boy!]

At this point another man came up the group, he was rather tall with long black hair and a mustache and was wearing a black training gi. "Saotome, Ranma there you are have either of you had any luck trying to find Rokobungi, I mean Ikari?" at this Ranma only shook his head no and the panda held up another sign [No]

Shinji's ears perked up at the mention of his last name, and was a bit curious. "E-excuse me did you say you were looking for I-Ikari?" the boy stuttered quietly.

The three newcomers turned to the third children and answered his question "Yes, yes we are. You wouldn't happen to know a Gendo Ikari would you?" The man with the mustache asked.

Shinji's faced tighten with the mention of his fathers name, and he looked towards the ground. "Y-yeah h-he's my f-father. W-hy?" he managed to hold back the venom in his voice when any one brought up his father.

The three newcomers to Tokyo-3 took this news in stride, the idea of the man they once knew having a son wasn't all that strange but the look in the boys face when mentioning him did. The first to speak was Ranma since his father and Soun Tendo chose to remain quiet. "Well it seems that Pops here and Mr. Tendo trained with him and master Happousai a while back, and they seem to have a few things to talk to him about now." Ranma told the brown haired pilot. During this entire conversation Asuka was fuming, she wasn't the center of attention like she should be, again Shinji some how manages to steal some thing from her. First piloting eva, then his growing sync ratio which soon would surpass hers, and now it seems since his father was some type of martial artist he just had to teach Shinji. That at least explained the routine he was going through in his room, but that didn't do any thing to ease her anger none the less. Despite her anger she kept quiet and listened in to what was transpiring here.

Back from the group Soun and Genma had moved away a bit to talk in quiet. Genma was now out of his cursed form thanks to a thermos of warm water Soun was carrying, and wearing his white training gi. "Gendo has a son you know what this means Tendo." Genma spoke quietly in his gruff voice.

"Yes and since I am the only one who has daughters, that is unless you count Ranma's cursed form." Soun responded in equally hushed tones.

"The boy has enough fiancee` to deal with now, the deal clearly falls on your family now. Finally the three schools will be joined, that is if the old fool Gendo holds up to his honor and word." Genma said looking over at the boy. "I don't see any signs of martial arts training in the Ikari boy. He don't carry him self like a martial artist, nor does he react like one. Ranma would have if he ran into a danger like a panda, taken a stance for action clearly this boy has little to no training. Do you think we should test him?" motioning with his thumb towards the third children. Soun nodded and stalked towards the unsuspecting pilot. Ranma instantly turned around as his danger sense kicked in, he was welcomed with the sight of his father charging the Ikari boy. Genma lept into the air and brought his fist down onto the child, to the large mans surprise though Shinji blocked it with little problem, then grabbed Genma's wrist and sent the man into a near by wall. Soun didn't wait for the boy to turn and face him before making his own attack, he rushed in, in an attempt to sweep Shinji's legs out from under him. But Shinji's own danger sense which till now seemed dormant and he jumped over the attack and lept back wards to avoid the other mans fist striking out at him. Soun the pressed his attack which Shinji seem to block every strike from the mans fist while backpedaling. Shinji had been running completely on instinct what little training he had received from his father and the few years of Tai chi he had taken while staying with his uncle kicked in. After a few more attacks Shinji sent Soun flying into the near by wall just like Genma. Shinji took another step back with his hands raised in a defensive position. Genma and Soun stood up from the ground, Genma was laughing "Well done boy, not bad not near what Ranma was at, at your age but not bad at all." he said while placing a hand on Shinji's shoulder. "I had my doubts on your skill but that little exercise proved it." Soun smiled at the boy like Genma. Ranma just stood there not really understanding why those two were so happy, the only time they got like this is when they were up to something. After a few seconds of thought Ranma knew they were up to something.

Asuka was amazed temporarily by who she thought was a spineless weak little boy perform moves that she her self had trouble pulling off, do with out much effort. She then quickly dismissed her line of thought and made a remark "Hrmph I could do better."

Asuka was about to say more but a shout and a purple blur stopped her "PRETTY GIRL!" Said the voice and the second she looked down she saw a little old man was nuzzling in her breast. At the sight Asuka's right eye began to twitch, to say she was pissed would have been a big understatement.

"GET BACK HERE YOU PERVERTED OLD MAN!!" came another shout and another blur of motion caught Asuka' eye as a huge mallet came straight at the old man on her chest. "AKANE!" yelled the old man as he jumped from the second children's chest to that of the girl who just arrived with a rather large mallet. The mallet stopped its travel towards Asuka as the old man began to rub against Akane's chest.

"Mein Gott in Himmel mehr weirdos!!" Asuka yelled reverting back to her native tongue and took off towards Nerv. As Asuka left Akane had succeeded in Happousai off her. "Aww where did the pretty girl go?" Happousai asked looking around.

"What was her problem?" Asked Ranma to no one in particular.

Genma and Soun were instantly at Happousai's side "Master we have located Gendo's son Shinji, he should be able to take us to his father." announced the two happily. Shinji blinked not sure what to make of what was going on, one minute he was being attacked, the next congratulated, and now this. Shinji sighed his life was about to get ten times more complicated, as if giant robots and angels weren't enough now he had to deal with shape changing martial artists and their perverted masters. Happousai walked over to the boy and looked him over, he then pulled out his pipe and lite up.

"Tell me son what did your father tell you about the Any thing goes school of martial arts? How far did he train you?" The master asked taking a puff of his pipe.

Shinji's face changed completely from one of surprise to one of anger and sadness "H-he didn't train me sir. He may have taught me a few moves but nothing more. What I learned I learned in Tai chi classes I took at my uncles. M-my father abandoned me when I was four." Shinji said turning away from the master of the any thing goes school of martial arts.

The look of shock was plastered on the faces of all the people present, that soon changed to looks of rage. "That bastard, not only abandoning the art but abandoning his own son. He will pay won't he Saotome?" Soun said to his friend.

Genma nodded "Yes he will Tendo, yes he will." Soun and Genma weren't the only two upset about this Happousai's reason was the same as his students, the same with Ranma's and Akane's except they didn't care about the man abandoning the art. Neither of them had ever met the man but they both despised him all the same.

Genma turned to Shinji "So boy you can take us to your father can't you." Shinji thought it over for a minute and nodded his head. If it was true and these people did know his father than he shouldn't have any problem with seeing them. So with the group in tow Shinji headed off in the same direction as Asuka did, towards the main entrance of Nerv. Hopefully security would grant them a temporary visitors pass.

***

The trip down to Nerv went uneventful his new found friends where indeed given visitor passes but only after the guards at the security check point called up to the commanders office and cleared it with him. This in its self surprised Shinji himself it seemed so out of character of his father to do such a thing, but to Shinji it just proved at least part of the strangers story that being that they knew him. Right now they were on their way to the commanders office, one of the things Shinji agreed to do was to escort the group to Commander Ikari's office something Shinji was really dreading.

After a good ten minute walk Shinji and the Tendo/Saotome group found them selfs in front of the supreme commander of Nerv's office. Shinji wasn't about to lead the group in, so Happousai to the initiative and threw open the large doors and charged into the office. "GENDO!" yelled the little old man.

In the office Gendo, his second in command Kozo Fuituski and Doctor Ritsuko Akagi were all having a discussion when the group led by Master Happousai charged in. Gendo looked up from the documents he was reading and smiled. The sub commander who was standing by the commanders side had a puzzled look on his face as did the doctor, who was standing on the other side of the desk her back facing the door. "Ah Master Happousai how nice to see you again you look well." Gendo said placing the papers down on the desk and folded his hands in front of his face, assuming his favorite position.

The small master ignored the comment and jumped up on the desk and pointed his pipe at the man "You should be down on your knees begging me for forgiveness right now. Or is what I've heard from your son wrong." Happousai said keeping his voice to an even tone.

Gendo just smirked he knew exactly what his son had told them and he wasn't about to prove any one wrong but he wanted to play with the old master a bit. It had been over 16 years since he had trained with the master, he no longer feared the old man for now he was the master and no one else mattered. "Now what would Pilot Ikari tell you hmm? Perhaps that I no longer practice nor teach the art. Or that I left him in more capable hands to raise?"

The rage in Happousai's eyes was as apparent as he battle aura, which at the confirmation from Gendo flared up. "Gendo you have forsaken the oath you have given me as the master of the anything goes school of martial arts. That oath stating that you would continue the art and improve upon my teachings in your own school, also your oath that your son would be brought up in the art and be heir Rokobungi school of anything goes school of martial arts, hmm or would it be the Ikari school now? No matter, you have gone against your word and now you will pay the price for your transgressions." the old master practically yelled.

Gendo and Soun rushed to the masters side to offer assistance, not that he needed it but they wanted to look good in their master's eyes by being there.

"Ah I see so what could I do to not pay for my transgressions? Short of ritual suicide or your wrath as you can see I am a very important man, my death would mean the end of the human race and I certainly can not have you running around wreaking havoc." said the commander with out moving.

The masters eyes narrowed at the man, he saw no fear in Gendo's eyes for once the master was surprised. The short man thought for a minute and a smile graced his face "Your son." was his answer. At this Gendo raised an eyebrow in surprise, Shinji's face on the other hand was in complete shock. The master was pleased "He will be given the training you denied him, Genma, Soun, and Ranma will train him in the art. That is the only other option you have." the old man cackled.

"Pilot Ikari is an important part of what we are doing here with out him to pilot Unit 01 and battle against the angels humanities fate will be sealed." replied the commander.

Happousai shook his head but it was Soun who answered "My dojo isn't more than a ten minute drive from here, we live in Nermia just out side Tokyo-3. He could be here in no time for a battle, and even you have to admit that him having this sort of training would only help in those battles."

Gendo was having trouble finding a flaw in Soun Tendo's logic and this aggravated him "Very well his guardian will be informed and he will be placed under the care of Genma Saotome. Now if I see any indication of his training interfering with his sync test or his piloting he will be taken from your care and training and placed back where he is now. End of story, with no repercussion. Agreed?"

Happousai was no fool he knew that Gendo was up to something but for right now he would agree to this and deal with any scheme Gendo Ikari was planing when the time came. "Fine. Now that that is taken care of." Happousai's demeanor changed dramatically as he turned towards Ritsuko, his lecherous grin now replaced the seriousness that had been there as he jumped at the doctor's chest, grabbing her breast. "Pretty lady!" Every one in the room save for Gendo shook their heads.

Shinji sighed to himself and thought "My life just got more complicated."

End chapter one

Next chapter Shinji leaves Tokyo-3 and begins his training in Nermia, where he will find out what agreement was made between his father, Genma and Soun. All this and more martial arts high jinks on the next Ranma 1/2 Evangelion, Hedgehog in Nermia.

Authors notes:

Its the Blaze again with another cross over. As of late I had become involved in another anime Ranma 1/2. I don't know as of yet weather this story will be more Eva oriented or Ranma, I may go Ranma though because I just love the series to death. I need you my readers input for the next chapter though, if you couldn't tell in this chapter Genma, Soun, and Gendo made a agreement about their children to join all three schools and since Shinji is a boy he is going to be engaged to one of the remaining Tendo daughters. Now I ask you which one, Kasumi or Nabiki? The one that gets the most votes wins, simple as that. I have no favorite choice, its all up to my readers.

Also down the road I am toying with the idea of a curse for Shinji. Again I turn to you readers to find out what you think, and on what you think his curse should be. Don't hesitate to let me know what you think.

One last thing, if any one can think of a better title for this story please let me know, that was the best I could come up with.

A few notes I haven't seen the entire Ranma series as of yet but I am working on collecting all the anime, and manga. I have seen all the way through the third season of Ranma plus two of the movies and assorted episodes beyond the third season. As for the manga I have up to volume 12 awaiting the next two. My wife only allows me two of the graphic novels a month so I won't be close to finished any time soon.
