Spider King
Disclaimer: i don't own Forgotten realms or Ranma 1/2 . I just write this for my own entertainment and just to see what would happen. I am only familiar with the Neverwinter Nights game and the expansions and haven't played them in a while but I'll give it a try. By the way my favourite class is Necromancer/Pale Master in the game so I'll think of a way to use it.
Divine battles
Lolth looked at the realm that housed the planet called Earth. She looked as people went on their way to work and other things. She watched as battles were being fought in space as aliens battled each other for petty planets and other things. She watched as an immortal phoenix was slain by a seventeen year old boy who used his life-force to manipulate the magic in the air around him and killed the Phoenix by freezing him and then shattering the ice.
The boy held her interest. She watched him as he fought with his enemies and found herself being interested in the boy as a potential subject. By all means she was insane but she also clung to a tiny shred of sanity and that was urging her to go to Earth and take the young man and turn him into a Drow and make him her avatar. She knew that it would involve a massive battle between them and she mentally prepared herself for the unavoidable clash between the mortal and herself. She began to ready herself by using her powers to try and influence the mortals of the world and let them attack Ranma more frequently and made sure that the girl that the boy loved turned angry at her fiancé. She had found a great deal of suppressed anger within the girl and had seen that she liked girls over boys. She even had sex with her pet pig.
She wondered why the boy didn't get so angry or depressed that he would just unleash his power upon those bugging him and obliterate them from the world. She studied him for days and nights and noticed that something seemed off about him. He appeared to be under some spell made to control him. This wasn't good because she wanted an Avatar who could think for itself and not be controlled by some petty human.
She thought about the advantages of having an Avatar and she knew that the Avatar could interact with the world in ways the gods themselves couldn't apparently they were able to directly destroy people and Gods had to do it subtle. She decided to just go down there in a mortal form and propose her offer to the boy.
She appeared on a street in Nerima as a tall black skinned Drow woman armed with a broadsword and clothed in armour. She strolled through the streets and watched the weak humans do their daily things. She despised the foul creatures that dared to pollute this world. Enough of this pollution why not just eradicate all of them by summoning some Demons and let them take care of the mortals in this world. But then she remembered that there were several people who could easily destroy them if she tried to destroy humanity.
She walked through the streets as she came closer to the High School with the name of Furinkan. She surveyed the area and noted that it seemed to be decorated with pineapples and other items associated with the paradise of fools Hawaii. She stood there looking at the school when she felt a presence near her. She looked at it and saw a man dressed in a hamaka standing there and looking at her. She glared at him and he quickly went into the school only to emerge with a Bokken in his hands and he stood there practising his sword techniques and totally ignoring the pineapples and other Hawaii things. Then the school's students came and flooded towards the practising Kerndo team captain AKA Tatewaki Kuno.
Lolth felt her anger rise to another level as she was noticed by the kid and immediately he proclaimed her to be the girl with the dark skin glistening like the divine darkness that rules the night. She was used to being loved by people but this human had the gall to actually make her feel like filth. How despisable those humans were. She drew her broadsword with a snarl and charged at the wannabe samurai. Before she could reach the fool she felt her sword being blocked and as she turned around she noticed the boy that she had been studying was holding her sword and as she studied him he said:
"Don´t go chargin at Kuno would ya? I doubt you´d get away with murder."
Ranma was looking at the pretty dark skinned girl and found that while she was attractive to people he didn't really think she was one of his fiancé's. Then he looked as a battle cry was heard and he jumped away in time to dodge a swipe of a Katana. He got a hold of the broadsword and then fought back against the insane kendoist. He blocked a strike with the blade and found that it seemed to be resistant against it. He had no time to wonder as a familiar feeling began to stir within him. He felt it pushing against something but he couldn't discern what it was. He had felt the same feeling for a long time but never knew what it meant. He didn't feel anything. The only feelings he felt was the desire to become the best and to shun weapons. And to love someone. To love Akane. Then the block broke and now he knew what he felt. It was pure and primal anger. It began to make its way through his body and a black bonfire of Ki erupted around him and he faintly felt himself grabbing the broadsword and place it in a position to kill his opponent. Then he attacked. He slashed at the insane kendoist and then managed to shatter the blade Kuno was carrying and then continued and delivered a slash to the man's check and Ranma let out a laugh as he saw the blood dripping from the blade. Then with a maniacal grin on his face he said:
"Today it ends Kuno. I won't put up with your fucking bullshit anymore. Prepare to meet the real Ranma Saotome finally free from all his delusions!"
Then he attacked in a fury unseen by many as the slashed went too fast to count. Blood splattered on the floor as the robe of the Kendoist fell to the ground and on the man's chest were Kanji written as slashes:
Fool
That was what was written on the chest of Tatewaki Kuno. Ranma grinned and gave the blade back to Lolth who sheathed it to her waist. She then looked at him and said:
"Join me, Ranma Saotome. I can give you whatever you desire. I can make you a king or make you all-powerful. I can do whatever you want for you and the only thing I want in return is for you to be my avatar."
Ranma looked at the strange woman and sensed her aura which was gigantic. He said:
"Lady I don't know what you are talking about but if anything I disagree. I love Akane and will protect her until the end of time!"
Lolth sensed that Ranma was being controlled once again and she said:
"Well then Ranma Saotome prepare to fight me! I am Lolth, Goddess of Darkness and Spiders."
Ranma grinned cockily and said:
"Bring it on old Hag!"
Lolth grinned at the boy and she transformed in her normal form. The gigantic spider legs stood on the ground and her face and upper body still were human but her lower body was all spider. A black widow spider to be exact and Ranma almost found himself being cocooned in a web of spider silk. The goddess grinned at the man and said:
"You need more to defeat me Ranma Saotome. Lets try your luck with a weapon shall we?"
Ranma felt a sword land in his hands and he looked at it and saw that it was covered with strange markings. He grumbled something about it being unmanly to wield weapons and then attacked with the long sword. He cut her in her spider body and she just laughed at him with her insane red eyes twinkling in mirth. She healed the cut after it had been made and then retaliated but sending a gigantic bolt of lightning at the boy.
Ranma dodged away from the Lightning Bolt and then attacked with a quick slash that went quite deep within her body.
The fight went on for hours after that and Ranma was getting tired of fighting. He summoned up all of his power and dealt a splitting blow to the Goddes her body and he watched as the body was sent crashing into a wall with the limbs flailing all around. Ranma felt surprise as the goddess once again rose to combat him. She grinned at him despite her numerous injuries and said:
"For this insult you will die Mortal. No matter how you mock me this is unacceptable. Now die!"
Then a strange black light crept outwards from Ranma's body and he felt himself beginning to transform into something else. He felt the darkness surround him and suddenly he felt things coming from inside and burst out of his body. He looked at his hands and saw that the skin was totally black and that the hands seemed to be in pristine condition without any signs of ever being abused by several insane martial techniques.
Ranma felt power rushing through his veins and instantly he knew most of the things that the insane goddess had known in her long life. Ranma grinned as he knew the spell that she had cast in a last attempt to rid him from this world. He looked at the bleeding form of the goddess and knew that he couldn't defeat her. Then with a small whispered incantation he sent a few magic missiles at the goddess just to test something and was surprised as they hit and she screamed in pain. Ranma grinned and said:
"I give you one chance Lolth. Bring me to your world sand I'll let you live. I will not become your avatar or whatever you wish me to become. I'll be someone just as high ranked as you."
Lolth just snarled at him and then teleported away to lick her wounds. Ranma took a good look at himself and saw spider legs coming from his torso. Ranma scowled as that meant that he had been totally transformed into what ordinary people would call a drider. Those not worthy by Lolth or whose who had enough power to twist the transformation. Ranma grinned as he was hurled through the portal he had created. He would follow Lolth to her own world and learn whatever was necessary to do things not even the old Ghoul could. The new power flowing through his veins had given him the ability to understand whatever was going on around him.
He fell down onto the ground with a small crash and he looked around and saw that he had somehow landed next to a city in a large cave. Ranma grinned as he felt his spider legs lift him in the air and he began to crawl up a wall. He studied the life in the city for three years and decided to poly morph into a Drow like it had been intended by Lolth. He felt feet again and he clumsily stood up. He looked around and saw that there were tattered remains of his clothing still on his body. Ranma grinned as the information once again leaked into his mind and he created clothes from the remains on his body. He wore a combination of armour that made him able to move freely and then make him resistant to magic. Ranma grinned as the magic seeped through the clothes and leaked into the world. He would finish whatever he had started back on Earth. They had been abusing him for too long. Malletings had been taken without any hint of anger and beatings had been shrugged off as a small temper tantrum. Ranma felt the anger once again cloud himself and he felt it leaking out and seep into the crowd. Fights started to erupt on the street and Ranma watched as Drow killed themselves over stupid things like some weapon.
Then he reigned in his anger and watched as the Drow regained their normal selves and stared at the blood that was coating their bodies and at the bodies of their fallen kin. They shrugged and went on doing whatever they were doing. Ranma stepped out of the shadows and walked through the city looking at everything and generally sightseeing. When faced with a woman he just bowed like the rest of the males did. Apparently the Drow females were selected to be religious leaders or something. Ranma felt the power of their goddess flow through his veins. He arrived at a shrine and then looked at the gigantic statue of the insane goddess and spit on the floor. Immediately spiders came at him and tried to kill him for disrespecting their goddess.
Ranma grinned as he dodged a string of webbing that had been shot from a spider's mouth. He summoned something and watched in fascination as a giant spider appeared and devoured the spiders. Ranma felt the power increase a little and he understood what he had just done. He had taken the life of the spiders and head added it to his own thus making their power his. Ranma filed that away for later contemplation. Markings started to appear on his face and other body parts and his legs once again appeared instead of feet. His eyes became blood red pits of hatred and anger and above all insanity. Ranma groaned under the stress as he felt a foreign presence try to invade his body. This must be Lolth again trying to get revenge for what he had done to her.
Ranma let out a shriek of pain and immediately started clawing at his body. He felt the pain intensify and then he felt the pain increase a hundredfold and he collapsed shrieking in agony.
Ranma felt himself being drawn within a void and then he didn't feel the pain anymore. He watched as his body moved on its own accord and he watched as his now female mouth began to instruct some Drow Priestesses on how to summon demons. They bowed for him and called him Lolth. Ranma knew that Lolth had taken over his body and he struggled to regain it. Then finally he mustered most of the strength he had in him and he forced himself back into his body and eradicated the goddess her presence sending her back to her normal place.
Ranma reassumed his body once again and he looked at the Drow Priestess who was summoning something. Ranma's spider legs twitched as ancient magic began to fill the room. The chanting increased and Ranma felt darkness seep into the room. Then a drooling spider demon stood within a pentagram and it leapt at him.
Ranma just grabbed the first thing that came in his reach and without thinking he flung the Priestess was thrown at the spider demon. It made a screeching sound the moment the body hit it and then the Drow Priestess was crushed as one of its limbs flailed and it rolled oin top of her. Ranma grinned and prepared a spell and started chanting:
Power that flows within grant this creature death
For the ethereal ones commandeth thou
To act my word and call
To destroy and crush the soul
Of my victim
Ranma's eyes opened and he made a grabbing motion with his roight hand and the Spider Demon leapt at it with its fangs bared until it exploded in a shower of black blood which spleattered all over the temple floor.
Ranma transformed himself into a Drow warrior and walked out of the temple still covered in the Spider Demon's intestines and leaving behind a crowd of stunned Drow.
Ranma used his martial arts to jump from house to house and soon he had exited the city and he went to a dark part of the Underdark where he felt a connection to.
Once he got there he saw numerous Drider scurrying around. Once he retransformed into his Drider form they all bowed and Ranam grinned and said:
"I think I can get used to this treatment."
Then he just relaxed a little finally feeling at home in the presence of his own kind. Tomorrow would be a busy day of trying to organise it all.
