Ranma the Stampede

Disclaimer: I don't own Ranma or Vash but they are my friends and will beat you up if you try to sue.
___________________________________
Vash the stampede AKA the Humanoid Typhoon was running for his life.again. Merle was chasing after him and shooting her mini derringers while Millie followed and picked them up. He wailed.
"Why do these things always happen to me!? I thought you really were in love with me! How was I supposed to know you were drunk last night!?"
"Come back here you coward! I'm going to run some serious risk prevention on your ass if you don't!"
"Why would you be so concerned about protecting Mr. Vash's rear end Merle?" Laughing all the way Vash made his escape while Merle picked herself up from her facefault. Deciding that it would be best to lay low for a while he took a detour down an ally and headed to the towns plant. Above the giant light bulb apparatus he sat back and pulled out a flask of whisky to wait out a different kind of typhoon. It soon began to work and as he usually did when he was drunk he started to get depressed.
"Dammit, why is it that when I finally get lucky with a girl it always ends up in disaster? I'm jush going.Hic!...to havf to go and apologize I guesh.Hic!" He stood up to leave but lost his balance and dropped his bottle. The amber liquid splashed on a conduit full of bare wires and Vash was zapped with a thousand volts of lost technology energy. His skeleton briefly flashed on and off a few times and with a loud explosion he was thrown towards town.
"AHHHHHH!!!!! THINGS CAN"T GET ANY WORSE!!!!!!" he yelled as he flailed around in the air. But as he said that his body started to glow and he felt himself growing numb.
"Huh, what's going on now? Vash's body started to fade in and out of view and he almost got sick as he saw his bones, muscles and other organs for the first and sometimes second time. Finally with a "Befizzle!" he disappeared completely from view right before he hit the ground in front of Merle and Millie. They both stood with their mouths open in shock. Vash could get himself out of the worst situations but this was plain ridicules.
_______________________________
Vash felt his body phase in and out of space as he was hurtled through different dimensions. All he could figure was that the power surge from the plant must have done this to him. Suddenly he heard a boom and found himself in midair above a valley filled with pools. Screaming and trashing around in the air as he fell down he splashed into one of the pools but not before knocking his head on the side. He became paralyzed and felt the water surrounding and enveloping him. He felt as if a part of him was being ripped away and tried to scream but swallowed water instead. His life slowly began to dim and closed his eyes as he was pulled down.
All of a sudden something shot down into the water and grabbed his sinking form. It grabbed at his jacket but ripped it off dumping his weapons towards the bottom. The form grabbed him a second time and started dragging him towards the surface by his spiky blonde hair. It broke out of the water and began pumping the water out of the man's chest. Vash opened his eyes and looked up into the face of a green eyed bluish haired girl.
"Gee, I never expected angles to look so beautiful." Vash then lapsed into unconsciousness. The girl blushed at these words; She didn't understand the language the man had been speaking in but she understood the meaning.
"Well Cologne it looks like you just caught yourself a husband." The girl that was apparently named Cologne looked over at an old wrinkly two foot tall woman balancing on a stick.
"What you talking about great grandmother Lotion? He no beat me in combat." The thing known as Lotion cackled.
"Come now great granddaughter, you saved his life and risked your own. That means his life now belongs to you. And it's about time you got a husband; it will keep that lecher Happosi away from you. Besides, he does look like a fine male specimen if I do say so myself. And I've seen a lot of males." Cologne seemed to think about this for a moment then nodded.
"You right great grandmother. Let's take back to village and get ceremony ready." Suddenly Cologne shrieked.
"OH NO! I fall in cursed spring! Am I cursed?!" Lotion cackled again.
"No dear you just fell into the spring of drowned girl. Since you were a girl to begin with you won't have a curse. But I'm surprised that the young man here didn't change. This bears looking into." Putting that information in her memory for later she instructed her daughter to pick up the man and they headed off to the Amazon village.
___________________________
Cologne watched as Happosi tried to attack her new husband. After coming to in the village and learning some of the language it was aperent that he had lost most of his memories except that his name was Vash and some knowledge of close range fighting. A lot of the other girls had scoffed and laughed at Cologne for getting such a dorky husbands that refused to kill, but after Happosi had shown up their views had changed.
The perverted martial artist had immediately tried to take back his girlfriend by getting rid of this blonde foreigner. But no matter what technique he used it was always dodged or thrown right back at him. Cologne watched as Vash pulled out that strange pen of his and began writing on Happi's body when he attacked. Soon he began to resemble a walking tattoo parlor and this caused Happosi to lose his temper and drop his guard. Vash suddenly appeared behind him and with a simple
"No skills" punted him into orbit.
"You haven't heard the last of me VASH!!!!" Happosi yelled before fading off into the sky. Cologne giggled and glomped onto her husband.
"It nice of airen to defend Colognes honor." Vash rubbed the back of his head and laughed nervously. Cologne grinned lecherously and whispered in his ear.
"Would you like a little reward?" Vash's body started to overheat and steam came out from around his collar when he realized what she meant by reward. Cologne threw her husband over her shoulder and ran off to her house while Lotion and some of the other elders cackled. Ah to be young again.
____________________________
Meanwhile at Jusenkyo, the pool that Vash had fallen into was undergoing a dramatic reorganization. It had originally been the pool of drowned girl and would have changed to pool of drowned alien from another dimension except he had been rescued be Cologne. This had thrown the pool into a loop as it couldn't be the pool of drowned girl any more but also couldn't be the pool of drowned Vash because he hadn't actually drowned there. After many days of bubbling and changing colors the pool reached the conclusion that since it couldn't do one or the other it would just have to combine them both. For the next three hundred years no one fell into the pool as it was deemed unsafe even for Jusenkyo standards. Until one day when a familiar pair of martial artists came to visit.
"Come one boy!"
"Right behind you pops!"
"Oh sirs! What are you doing?!" SPLASH!!! Grorf!
"Pops!?" SMACK! SPLASH!!!
Ranma sank down in the pool and hit the mud on the bottom. He flailed around trying to get to the surface and his hand closed down on something metalic and heavy. Suddenly his body started to tingle and he felt his form shift. Fearing that he might be a panda he broke the surface of the water and looked down. He saw that he was still a man but still felt odd. Climbing out of the water he realized that he had become taller and his long hair had turned blonde . He looked down at his arms and gasped to see that his left arm was completely gone from the elbow down and his other arm was covered in scars and cuts. He opened up the front of his gi to see more of this with some still having thread holding them together. He looked down at his hand again and noticed that he was holding a large silver object that looked like a gun.
"Don't worry sirs, curse is only temporary. Hot water reverse. Strange though, I thought spring young customer fall into always be spring of drowned girl not man." He poured the hot water over the panda and it changed back into Ranma's father. Ranma dumped some of the water over his own head and felt his form shift again. He stood up but fell down when he realized that his center of gravity had changed again. He sat up but felt a weight pressing down on his chest and looked down. Through his open gi he could see two pieces of anatomy that no man should ever have.
"AAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!"
____________________________
The scene changes to the Tendo dojo. A black cat with ridiculously large eyes sits on the roof and meows
Sound Tendo sat with tears running down his cheeks looking at a postcard with a simple panda motif. The words 'Finally able to bring Ranma back to unite the schools. Arriving today. Genma.' Brought such joy to his heart.
"Do you hear that girls, Ranma will finally be coming to marry one of you!" Nabiki snorted.
"Is this the same Ranma that was supposed to show up here last year? Honestly, he just had to come back from that Jusenkyo place right? Why would it take him that long?"
Soun coughed and tried to sound dignified.
"Genma wrote to me about that. It seems that something came up and they couldn't come here right away. But now that he is coming that doesn't matter. Now girls, who wants to marry him?" Kasumi spoke up.
"Since Akane technically has a fiancé already then it will have to be Nabiki or me." Soun perked up at this.
"That's right, how are you and Kuno getting along Akane? I just want the best for my baby girl." Akane yelled back.
"WE ARE NOT ENGAGED!!!" Nabiki rolled her eyes.
"You have no one to blame but yourself. If you had refused to fight or talked to the school board you wouldn't have had to deal with Kuno's idiocy in the mornings. You knew it was only a matter of time before he would beat you." Soun chuckled
"When you two started dating I knew you were perfect for each other so naturally I agreed to let him court you. I'm sure you two will be perfect for each other." Akane was about to scream something very nasty at her father when they heard the sounds of some one at the front door.
"They're here!" Soun rushed out into the hall to greet them while Kasumi and Nabiki followed nervously. A panda came through the door carrying a person over his shoulder.
[Soun old friend! Ranma and I are finally here! Could I please have some hot water?] Soun was a bit stunned at seeing a panda that could write but handed him the tea pot. The panda poured the hot water over his head and much too every one's amazement was replaced by a man wearing a threadbare gi and a hanky over his head. He dropped the person he was carrying like a sack of potatoes and hurried forward to embrace Soun. The girls were a little surprised at the mans behavior but turned their attention to the person that he had dropped.
He had light blonde hair that was tied in a pony tail in the back and spiked out in the front and black metal sunglasses with orange lenses. He wore a red coat that was open in he front and had gold trim on the edges. On his hands were black gloves that disappeared into the coat sleaves and matched his black pants and shirt. It all looked like it would be hot but under closed inspection proved it was cool and allowed the person to move freely. But the most interesting thing about him was the long silver object strapped to his thigh in a leather holster.
Nabiki backed off a bit as she recognized it as a large silver handgun. Guns had been illegal in Japan for years now and if this man owned one then he would most likely bring her trouble. Given her lifestyle of semi-illegal activities it would not be in her best interests to be engaged to a man like him. The boy started to stir and rose to a sitting position but Genma hurried over and knocked him back into unconsciousness. The girls became a little angry at seeing someone be bullied like this but kept silent. Genma sighed and sat down facing Soun.
"I'm afraid Ranma wasn't to enthusiastic about the engagement." Soun became very upset.
"What! Doesn't he know that it is a matter of honor? He must fulfill the engagement and unite the schools!" Genma scowled.
"I know, the lazy good for nothing boy has no honor!" there was a rustling noise along with some clicks and a voice was heard.
"Your one to talk pops." Genma suddenly turned pale and slowly turned around to see Ranma sitting up behind him with his gun drawn and pointed at Genma's head.
"Uh.Ranma lets talk about this okay?" BLAM!!!
______________________________________
Kasumi felt like she was about to scream but no sounds came out of her mouth. She had just seen a son murder his father in cold blood. Slowly she gained control and started feeling an emotion that she hadn't felt for years. Anger. She marched over and slapped him across the face.
"How could you kill your own father!? Have you no heart?!" All of a sudden Genma groaned and sat up. Every one looked over to see a giant bruise on his face right between the eyes.
"Dammit boy! That hurt!" Kasumi felt her knees start to grow weak and stared back at Ranma. He held up a bullet and squeezed the head, making it move up and down.
"Rubber bullets, impossible to kill with but they sure hurt like hell if you know where to shoot them." He turned around to face his father and growled while taking several more bullets out of his coat.
"You shouldn't make me have to keep my gun unloaded pops. What if one of those bounty hunters showed up and I was unarmed?" This puzzled every one but they wisely decided not to annoy the armed man. Every one except Akane.
"So who the hell are you? Ranma was supposed to be a martial artist and martial artists don't use guns." Ranma twirled his gun around his finger and re-holstered it.
"I still do, but a real martial artist is able to adapt and incorporate all forms of fighting into his style. I learned after Jusenkyou that gunplay can be a lot more challenging then Anything Goes but much more effective so I created my own style by combining both." Akane wasn't used to being brushed off so easily and her temper began to rise. Nabiki noticed this and decided to intervene before blood was spilled.
"So what took you so long to get here? And what happened after this Jusenkyou place?" Ranma sighed and sat down.
"Jusenkyou is a training ground whose name means pools of sorrow. Each of the springs has a curse of some kind where if you fall in you turn into whatever drowned there. You can turn back to your regular self if you find hot water but if you get splashed with cold water again the curse takes over." He jumped forward to quickly for anyone to see and threw his father into the koi pond outside.
"Pops here fell into the spring of drowned panda." A panda resurfaced out of the water and held up a sign.
[What did you do that for you ungrateful boy!?] Ranma ignored him and continued speaking.
"I fell into the spring of drowned girl and would have become a girl if splashed with cold water but there were a few complications. The guide did some research and found out that a wandering man had fallen in three hundred years ago but before he had completely drowned a stranger rescued him. He concluded that since the man had not fully drowned the two curses mixed. Nabiki got a disgusted look on her face.
"So does that mean that you're some kind of hemarophite?"
"Nabiki!" Ranma looked gratefully at Kasumi and continued.
"No, I'm one hundred percent male in this form. But whenever I get splashed by cold water I change to my other form. Hot water doesn't have an effect on me so if I was a girl and got splashed by cold water I would become a guy and vice versa." The panda had gotten out of the pond and managed to sneak up behind Ranma. It dumped a bucket of water over his head and the blonde male was replaced by a curvaceous red head. Growling Ranma drew his gun and shot his father with another rubber bullet. Since it was at point blank range Genma was knocked out for the foreseeable future. Soun gathered what little courage he had (which would have rattled in a flea's skull.) and cleared his throat.
"I find this hard to believe but even so your still Ranma inside right?" Ranma sighed.
"Nope, the other side effect of the spring was that it changed my personality and character. Personally I think it was for the better. The old Ranma was a chauvinistic, egotistical, jock that only focused on martial arts and nothing else. After coming out of the pool I lost all of that. When I'm a male I feel more confident about life and happy go lucky then I used to, I don't let pops or anyone else push me around and I seem to have this incredible desire to eat donuts.
When I'm a girl I see the sensitive side of things, have a smoother personality around people and usually think before I act on a situation. But I am not attracted to guys if that's what your wondering." He quickly added when he saw the looks Akane and Nabiki were giving him. Kasumi came out of the kitchen and handed him a glass of cold water that he used to transform back into a male. Something he had said had been bothering her and she decided to inquire further.
"What exactly did you mean when you said what if one of those bounty hunters showed up and I was unarmed? Who is trying to get you?" suddenly there was a loud whirring noise and Ranma instinctively knocked Kasumi down to the ground.
"Get Down!!!" a long thin object came crashing through the wall of the Tendo dojo and tore off the top half of the house. Everyone else was okay since they were sitting but Kasumi would have been chopped in half if Ranma hadn't knocked her over. Unfortunately when he had knocked her over he had landed on top of her and his face had fallen in her cleavage. Kasumi had felt anger for the first time in a long time when she had slapped Ranma and now she felt a new emotion. Lust. She had been suppressing her hormones ever since her mother had died, believing that she had to put her family first. But feeling a man so close to her tore down all of those self imposed barriers in an instant.
Ranma tried to get up but found Kasumi wrapping her arms around him and trying to keep him close. This got Akane angry and she was about to bring forth her pervert smashing mallet when the boomerang came back. Every one ducked again as it went flying towards the gate unhindered. There was a grunt and the girls turned around to see beautiful woman dressed in Chinese cloths and armor holding the boomerang by a strap on the side. She smirked as she rested it on her shoulder and pulled out a huge rifle from behind her back.
"Well, well, if it isn't the sixty billion Uni-doller man, the humanoid typhoon, Ranma the Stampede!"

Authors notes.
Well here is another idea that jumped into my head while suffering from insomnia. Cartoon network started showing Trigun about a month ago and I wondered what a Trigun/Ranma crossover would look like. I have a few ideas sketched out but I don't know if I should continue it. If you like this and want me to continue then please review or email me at animeprime1@hotmail.com If I do continue I'm going to bring over some of the Trigun characters personalities over to the character's in the Ranma universe (Ukyou D. Wolfwood maybe?) and Ranma's new clothes are based after Gilder from Skies of Arcaida Legends. Just so you know the girl in the beginning was Cologne as a teenager. Watch the Back to the Happosi episode to learn more. Also the meeting of the Tendo's and the Saotome's didn't occur until a year later so Ranma had a lot of time to adjust to his curse and rack up a wanted status.

Vash the stampede AKA the Humanoid Typhoon was running for his life.again. Merle was chasing after him and shooting her mini derringers while Millie followed and picked them up. He wailed.
"Why do these things always happen to me!? I thought you really were in love with me! How was I supposed to know you were drunk last night!?"

"Uh.Ranma lets talk about this okay?" BLAM!!!

Kasumi felt like she was about to scream but no sounds came out of her mouth. She had just seen a son murder his father in cold blood. Slowly she gained control and started feeling an emotion that she hadn't felt for years. Anger. She marched over and slapped him across the face.
"How could you kill your own father!? Have you no heart?!" All of a sudden Genma groaned and sat up. Every one looked over to see a giant bruise on his face right between the eyes.
"Dammit boy! That hurt!" Kasumi felt her knees start to grow weak and stared back at Ranma. He held up a bullet and squeezed the head, making it move up and down.
"Rubber bullets, impossible to kill with but they sure hurt like hell if you know where to shoot them." He turned around to face his father and growled while taking several more bullets out of his coat.

"So what took you so long to get here? And what happened after this Jusenkyou place?" Ranma sighed and sat down.
"Jusenkyou is a training ground whose name means pools of sorrow. Each of the springs has a curse of some kind where if you fall in you turn into whatever drowned there. You can turn back to your regular self if you find hot water but if you get splashed with cold water again the curse takes over." He jumped forward to quickly for anyone to see and threw his father into the koi pond outside.
"Pops here fell into the spring of drowned panda." A panda resurfaced out of the water and held up a sign.
[What did you do that for you ungrateful boy!?] Ranma ignored him and continued speaking.
"I fell into the spring of drowned girl and would have become a girl if splashed with cold water but there were a few complications. The guide did some research and found out that a wandering man had fallen in three hundred years ago but before he had completely drowned a stranger rescued him. He concluded that since the man had not fully drowned the two curses mixed. Nabiki got a disgusted look on her face.
"So does that mean that you're some kind of hemarophite?"
"Nabiki!" Ranma looked gratefully at Kasumi and continued.
"No, I'm one hundred percent male in this form. But whenever I get splashed by cold water I change to my other form. Hot water doesn't have an effect on me so if I was a girl and got splashed by cold water I would become a guy and vice versa." The panda had gotten out of the pond and managed to sneak up behind Ranma. It dumped a bucket of water over his head and the blonde male was replaced by a curvaceous red head. Growling Ranma drew his gun and shot his father with another rubber bullet. Since it was at point blank range Genma was knocked out for the foreseeable future. Soun gathered what little courage he had (which would have rattled in a flea's skull.) and cleared his throat.
"I find this hard to believe but even so your still Ranma inside right?" Ranma sighed.
"Nope, the other side effect of the spring was that it changed my personality and character. Personally I think it was for the better. The old Ranma was a chauvinistic, egotistical, jock that only focused on martial arts and nothing else. After coming out of the pool I lost all of that. When I'm a male I feel more confident about life and happy go lucky then I used to, I don't let pops or anyone else push me around and I seem to have this incredible desire to eat donuts.
When I'm a girl I see the sensitive side of things, have a smoother personality around people and usually think before I act on a situation. But I am not attracted to guys if that's what your wondering." He quickly added when he saw the looks Akane and Nabiki were giving him. Kasumi came out of the kitchen and handed him a glass of cold water that he used to transform back into a male. Something he had said had been bothering her and she decided to inquire further.
"What exactly did you mean when you said what if one of those bounty hunters showed up and I was unarmed? Who is trying to get you?" suddenly there was a loud whirring noise and Ranma instinctively knocked Kasumi down to the ground.
"Get Down!!!" a long thin object came crashing through the wall of the Tendo dojo and tore off the top half of the house. Everyone else was okay since they were sitting but Kasumi would have been chopped in half if Ranma hadn't knocked her over. Unfortunately when he had knocked her over he had landed on top of her and his face had fallen in her cleavage. Kasumi had felt anger for the first time in a long time when she had slapped Ranma and now she felt a new emotion. Lust. She had been suppressing her hormones ever since her mother had died, believing that she had to put her family first. But feeling a man so close to her tore down all of those self imposed barriers in an instant.
Ranma tried to get up but found Kasumi wrapping her arms around him and trying to keep him close. This got Akane angry and she was about to bring forth her pervert smashing mallet when the boomerang came back. Every one ducked again as it went flying towards the gate unhindered. There was a grunt and the girls turned around to see beautiful woman dressed in Chinese cloths and armor holding the boomerang by a strap on the side. She smirked as she rested it on her shoulder and pulled out a huge rifle from behind her back.
"Well, well, if it isn't the sixty billion Uni-doller man, the humanoid typhoon, Ranma the Stampede!"

Authors notes.
Well here is another idea that jumped into my head while suffering from insomnia. Cartoon network started showing Trigun about a month ago and I wondered what a Trigun/Ranma crossover would look like. I have a few ideas sketched out but I don't know if I should continue it. If you like this and want me to continue then please review or email me at animeprime1@hotmail.com If I do continue I'm going to bring over some of the Trigun characters personalities over to the character's in the Ranma universe (Ukyou D. Wolfwood maybe?) and Ranma's new clothes are based after Gilder from Skies of Arcaida Legends. Just so you know the girl in the beginning was Cologne as a teenager. Watch the Back to the Happosi episode to learn more. Also the meeting of the Tendo's and the Saotome's didn't occur until a year later so Ranma had a lot of time to adjust to his curse and rack up a wanted status.
