Ranma
And The Beanstalk
By:
Psuriko
Disclaimer: Ranma ½ is still copyright of Rumiko Takahashi and I won´t try or think about making profits of it, same thing with the original fairy tale "Jack and the beanstalk".
Some parts of this story will probably follow the Jack and the beanstalk version pretty closely, while other parts could be quite different(and I would probably make most of them VERY different. ).
Author´s prenote: I may introduce new actors in the beginning before the next chapter starts, during the beginning of every part of this fairy-tale , but not before it´s necessary.
New Casting Introduced:
Wizard -------------------------as one of the most powerful arcane magic-users. Name and
additional data is locked by dark arts magical charm.
SCENE 5: Odd mushrooms. ;
Narrator: The next morning started as usually with father and son Saotome doing their
little morning- exercise involving air combat a la Saotome style, as usual both of
them ended up in the Tendo koi-well all wet.
Kasumi the allround-maid shouted that breakfast was ready, before she could
finish the sentence Genma (now in panda-form) and girl-Ranma was fighting
over the food using the renowned"eat-quick like a vacuum technique". It wasn´t
before Ranma started (he managed to take a hot bath before going to school,
tough) to run to school that he remembered that Akane were still missing. It
wasn´t better during this school day since everyone, excluding Ukyo (most of it)
wondererd if Akane were ill. It wasn´t even better with the Principal trying to
introduce new school rules and having trouble with their home-roomteacher
miss Hinako Nonomiya trying to make the class having a pop quiz,(Ranma
refused and got blasted by Hinako ;) on top of that the woddensword-
wielding Blue Thunder confronted Ranma with his common (and now
changed)speech:
Tatewaki Kuno: Saotome ! You foul sorcerer what wicked curse did you put on the
beautiful Akane Tendo to make her ill today?
Narrator: Kuno said, before he began his barrage of bokken-attacks of "Thrust, thrust,
thrust", but as usual Ranma just kicks Kuno in the face and Kuno is knocked
out for the day. Ranma´s day continued as usual , but he felt some kind of
emptiness in his heart when Akane wasn´t around. He thought to himself:
Ranma: It´s not because I really missed Akane´s culinaric cooking and definatley not
that blasted hammer of doom.
Narrator: For the first and only, Ranma didn´t even know where to start looking for
Akane.
The night was falling closer and Ranma haven´t found out yet where Akane
could be. (Due to trying to teach Happosai the little farm-elf the hard way, NOT
to splash Ranma with cold water, snuggle Onna-Ranma´s breasts and try to
put a bra on girl-Ranma ). ;
Wham! (We have located a little farm-elf pervert flying in horisont captain. )
The moon started to shine tonight in the Furinkan Valley, revealing something
that shouldn´t be there. A GIANT mushroom (and small mushrooms around
it)reaching over the clouds located in the Tendo Farm´s okonomiyaki crops-
field .
Ranma: How could THAT mushroom be standing in the okonomiyaki crops-field, without
no one noticing it?
Cologne: I can´t believe that the myth about the evil wizard and the mushroom were
true. I just thought it was some old, moldy mushrooms I bought from the
merchant.
Ranma: Eeek! Old ghoul, stop poping up everywhere, I thought you where the author!
Hey, what wizard were you talking about?
Author: We will be transported by the "dream sequense" to go back in time to see this
event with our very own eyes, as Cologne narrates the story.
Cologne: Son-in-law I´ll tell you the old legend behind this giant mushroom:
"In the ancient times long ago where kings and warlords ruled with an ironfist.
Where battles were fought with swords instead of fire arms, where magic
flourished. Where dragons guarding princesses, even winged-monkeys could be
seen in these lands".
In one of these countries called "Mushroomia" in the Riukui islands, a powerful
Wizard with long, smooth black hair, also with a name long lost in time itself
and had only a wodden staff as company. This magician fell in love with the
princess of Mushroomia, not because just of her beauty and her swelling
crimson-red hair tied in a pig-tail, but also for her voice of pure heart and soul.
But since he was a wizard who was studying dark arts, (and the greedy king
didn´t want to loose his daughter who kept the land´s mushroom-fields to
flourish with her pure voice) the king denied the wizard´s wish to marry the
princess. The Wizard swore revenge upon the, as the wizard pronounced it:
(" insert your own array of swearwords here ) "Old greedy bald geezer with
bad eye-correctors, and a papier machee´crown made by a third rate tramp of
smith".
The Wizard thought to himself:
Wizard: Curse this land and that greedy,bald, buffon of a king with no hair, for not
letting me get what I desires the most: "My beloved pig-tailed princess of my
dreams". If the king of Mushroomia loves his mushrooms that much, I´ll gonna
let him feel what pain really is and if I can´t have my beloved pig-tailed godess
no one will have her, the wizard laughed like an evil scentist (think
Frankenstein, or even better: Dr. Evil from "Austin Powers" ) and began to
sketch a plan of revenge on a red-print.
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
Author: I know, I know it´s called "blue print", but the wizard had bought red-prints on
a sale in the "black arts-market". -;
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
Cologne: As I said, the Wizard come up with a masterplan to take revenge upon the bald
king. Upon the following week the Wizard went up to the castle with cursed
mushrooms in a basket and had disguised himself as a poor fool who wanted to
give the "great"(Note to himself: I must wash my mouth with soap to cleanse
myself of praising the king),
"the wizard: / Honorable king of Mushroomia. I have some incredible mushrooms I want
disguised as / to give the great king as a token of appreciating what the king have made
a fool" / for the kindom .
The king accepted the basket filled with delicious mushrooms with an hungry
appetite, but when the king decided to try one of these delicious looking
mushrooms, a dark gas erupted from the mushroom in the middle and
covered the whole kingdom of Mushroomia with darkness. The dark cloud
covering the kingdom, the dark gas dispersed after about ten minutes. When
the king, the queen with her trusty sword and the the court could see again.
The king´s prescious money-making daughter was no where to be seen.
Suddenly a black flame appeared in front of the royalties and in the flame the
king could see the wicked Wizard cackling like a madman.
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
Wizard: Wicked!? You´re misreplacing me with my sister the "Wicked Witch in the east"
from the famous story"the Sorcerer of Oz(zie. O)", You foul author!
Author: Sorry. ;big sweatdrop
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
Wizard: Old geezer, you treasure your stupid mushrooms and gold more than you
appreciate your daughter. If you value your daughter I have a challenge for
you. If you or some in your replacement can successfully complete my task,
then the princess will be released but if, you fail, the princess will be mine to
claim. Muha, muhahaha!(madman laugh). Plant the green mushroom in the
basket in the nutricious soil outside the castle during the Full moon to illuminate
the path to were your daughter is kept. When you reach there, in the tower,
seven warriors with one task each will challenge you, but to warn you, to unlock
the first door to the first task you need to bring one thing that have been extinct
in this country for more then a millenium… A purple cat. And to spice-up the
challenge a bit: "Only one with a pure heart, soul and voice can open the last
and final door. If it isn´t you, the king who completes the task, but someone
else you will get back your daughter and the "hero of the day " will get a wish
granted anything he wants.
The king didn´t care much, but he felt that now it was harder to get money to
his parties. Since the queen threatened the king with his only bane, the
queen´s royal longsword the "Tenso", to make him consider to save their
precious daughter. (The father for earning money again on the mushroom
fields and the mother for getting her beloved daughter back).
Author: Dream-seqeuence will now fade back to the present.
Cologne: Many have tried to accomplish the task, but none have yet returned."
Ranma: … …twitches badly That was the most corny story I have ever heard!
Do you even believe it yourself? It sounds more like something that "Torkien" or
what his name was, had created in a fantasy-book for children.
Cologne: But, as you see Son-in-law the myth have become reality and how do you
believe that your fiancee´ Akane Tendo with her beautiful hmph "voice" could
vanish from this very planet´s surface without a single trace?
Ranma: And your point is?scratching his head
Cologne: Wham! Whacks Ranma with her big staff
Ranma: Ouch! holds his head
Cologne: Son-in-law is not clever, she´s taken by someone who wants his wish granted
in the Mushroom tower!
Soun: Ranma! Get back Akane from that tower now! using his big aura-face while
yelling at Ranma
Ranma: Ok, ok, I got your point. begins to climb the mushroom
Author: Mumbles in a bush to fanfic readers If you don´t understand why Ranma
climbs the mushrooms, it´s because in the top of the mushroom is a shrine that
takes the challengers to the "Mushroom tower".
Cologne: Son-in-law, aren´t you forgetting something?
Ranma: Like what?
Cologne: The key to open the first door to recieve the first task, a purple cat.
Ranma: Oh, I knew I forgot something… What! A cat! You didn´t say anything about
cats!
Cologne: Son-in-law weren´t you listening to the story?
Ranma: Not everything, but how do I find a strange coloured cat?
Cologne: Great-grand daughter come forth!
Ranma: Shampoo?, Oh I forgot she turns into a c…c… cat! sarcastic -;
Shampoo: Airen, why you help tomboy when we can go on date, yes?
Ryoga: Ranma! We must rescue Akane or else I won´t ever forgive you!
Ranma: Mr. P have you already find your way back to Nerima already, where have you
been?
Ryoga: I was trying to find where Akane went, but I ended up in Kyoto and mailed
myself back here so I came by this afternoon.
Author: Guess who mailed Ryoga in P-chan form..? (hint, hint)
Narrator: While Ranma and Ryoga is fighting Cologne whispers to Shampoo:
Cologne: Follow with Son-in-law and then wish yourself to make son-in-law marry you.
Shampoo: Yes, Great-grandmother! Airen! We now go to rescue tomboy!
drags Ranma up the big mushroom
Ranma: Ouch, hey! Why the rush? Ouch, why did you hit me Ryoga!?
Narrator: The group consisting of, Shampoo, Ryoga and Ranma ventured up the Giant –
mushroom to the top. They entered the light in the middle of the shrine on top
of the mushroom and were sent to the Mushroom tower in the clouds.

Author: I was happy to get my first review in the last part, it made me so happy that I made this part extra long. Stay tuned for the next twisted part of "Ranma and the beanstalk". Please read and review what you want to say about this story and how it continues, also write in the review what you think about the story behind the mushroom, you can also suggest what the seven tasks should be. You can suggest which characters should be the seven warriors, it can be from some other manga/anime if you want, but be reasonable about picking warriors.
