Meet Son Ranma
"Um, sure what's your name?" asked Bulma, laughing nervously.
"Oh how rude of me." said the man. " I am Ranma , Son Ranma."
Bulma and Goku's eyes widened in shock.
"WHAT!" they both exclaimed.
The young man in front of them couldn't have just said his last name was Son. They must of heard him wrong.
Ranma blinked in confusion at the two in front of him. What was so shocking about his name? Maybe they had heard of his grandfather?
"I just said my name is Son Ranma." said Ranma in confusion.
"Do you mean Son like in Son Gohan?" asked Bulma.
"Yep, he's my grandpa." said Ranma with a smile on his face
"But how could he be your grandfather when he's my grandfather?" asked Goku in confusion.
"What?" asked Ranma.
Bulma stepped forward to take over.
"Well your grandpa found Goku here a couple of years ago and raised him as his grandson." said Bulma.
"Goku...Goku..." said Ranma thoughtfully, before a look of comprehension came onto his face.
"Oh yeah! My master told me about how my grandpa had adopted a boy he found in the mountains." said Ranma.
"Your master?" asked Bulma in confusion.
"Yeah, he was the same one that trained my grandfather in martial arts." said Ranma, "But he's a perverted old goat." he continued under his breath.
"You trained with the man that taught my grandpa!" asked Goku with excitement.
"Yep, and before that Gramp's trained me." said Ranma with a smile.
"Wow, would you like to have a spar!" asked Goku, hoping that he would.
"Sure, why not?" said Ranma
The two walked a little bit away from Bulma so she wouldn't get hurt. The faced each other and bowed before going into their stances.
Goku was in his classic stance with both hands up and ready to defend or attack. Ranma got into a similar stance with a stern face.
The two stood completely still until a gust of wind blew past them marking the start of the fight. Goku rushed in and delivered a long combination of kicks and punches that Ranma easily blocked.
The two broke apart and it was Ranma's turn to charge. He lead with a series of punches that were so fast that all Bulma saw was a blur. Goku was only able to block a few before he was overwhelmed.
After breaking apart again Goku decided to use one of his grandpa's techniques. With a roar Goku rushed at Ranma.
"Paper!" yelled Goku, chopping at Ranma with his right hand.
"Scissors!" yelled Ranma in retaliation, stopping Goku's hand by catching it with two fingers.
"Rock!" yelled Goku, throwing a punch with his other hand.
"Paper!" yelled Ranma, stopping his fist with the palm of his hand.
"Rock!" yelled Ranma, pulling back the hand that had stopped Goku's chop and then punching him in the face before he could counter.
Goku stood up, smiling as he did. He hadn't had this good a fight since his grandfather had died.
Ranma returned the grin, he respected Goku for being able to last so long.
"Hey Goku!" yelled Ranma.
"Yeah?" asked Goku.
"Let's see who has the strongest attack." said Ranma with a smile
"How?" asked Goku in confusion.
"Easy, at the same time we'll attack with our strongest attack ." said Ranma
"Ok." said Goku.
The two stepped a few feet away and started powering up.
Ranma glowed a bright blue as he cupped his hands at his side. Goku pulled out the red stick that was on his back.
"KA...ME...HA...ME...HA!" yelled Ranma, thrusting his hands forward and blasting a long stream of energy at Goku.
"Power Poll Extend!" yelled Goku as the stick glowed red before stretching out toward Ranma.
The two attacks met in mid air and stood still for a minute before the Kamehameha wave knocked the Power Poll away and slammed into Goku. Ranma put his hands down on his knees as he recovered from firing the Kamehameha wave.
Bulma rushed over to Goku to make sure he was ok. She saw that besides being knocked unconscious he only had a few light burns on him.
"Is he going to be ok?" asked Bulma in worry.
"Yeah, he should be fine in a couple of hours." said Ranma, having recovered from the attack.
Bulma looked up at the sky which was getting darker by the minute.
"I should set up the capsule house." said Bulma, walking over to her and Goku's bags.
"No thats ok we can just use mine." said Ranma, pulling out a capsule and clicking it.
In a poof of smoke a two story house with a picket fence in the front appeared. Bulma's eyes widened in shock.
"Wow, those kind of capsules aren't cheap!" said Bulma
"Yeah my mom gave it to me. She was worried about me living out in the wild." said Ranma while picking up Goku.
He lead Bulma into the house which looked fairly plain for the most part. Ranma carried Goku upstairs where he said the bedrooms were while Bulma sat down at the kitchen table.
After a couple of minutes Ranma came down and joined Bulma in the kitchen.
"Would you like a cup of coffee?" asked Ranma as he started making some.
"Yes please." said Bulma
When the coffee was ready Ranma handed Bulma a cup and sat down across from her.
"So what are you and Goku doing out here?" asked Ranma.
"Well you see, I found an strange object in my basement one day and after doing some research I found an old legend about how if you collect 7 dragonballs, which the object I found in my basement was, you will get a wish." said Bulma
"So using the dragonball I had found I made a radar that could locate them. I found one in an old cave and then I met up with Goku because your grandfather had one." said Bulma
"Wow, what do they look like?" asked Ranma.
"Here, let me show you." said Bulma, going through her and Goku's bag.
She then sat three golden balls that had stars on them on the table.
"So what do you think?" asked Bulma.
"Hey I have one of those!" said Ranma in surprise.
"You do?" asked Bulma.
Ranma went upstairs and came back carrying a dragonball in his hand. He set it on the table next to the others. The dragonballs glowed for a second.
"Yes, I have four now! Only three more until I can make my wish!" said Bulma.
"What are you going to wish for?" asked Ranma.
Bulma stopped her celebrating before turning away to hide her blush.
"I was going to wish for a cute boyfriend." muttered Bulma.
"What? I couldn't hear you." said Ranma.
Bulma sighed and turned around looking at the floor.
"I was going to wish for a boyfriend that would think I was cute." said Bulma, blushing madly.
Ranma walked over to her and raised her head. She looked into his eyes and was drawn into them.
"I don't see why a cute girl like you would have problems finding a boyfriend that knew you were cute." said Ranma
Bulma smiled at him and leaned against him. He wrapped his arms around her and put his chin on top of her head.
"Would you like to go for a walk?" asked Ranma.
"I would love to." said Bulma
The two left the house holding each other's hands.
... Few years later
The Budokai that year was promising to be the greatest Budokai yet. There were many strong fighters, each stronger then the next.
It was during the final match that everything went to hell. The entire area within a mile of the Budokai had been destroyed.
In the air above the destruction two figures moved at high speeds fighting each other.
The first was an older Goku, the top of his gi ripped apart with cuts all over his body. He was breathing badly, almost out of energy
The second was Piccolo the demon king. The top of his purple gi had also been destroyed showing the many cuts he also had.
Near the two fighters where a group of people watching in rapt attention. The people were all the friends of Goku.
Krillin, Master Roshi, Yamcha, Tien, Bulma, and Ranma were there, hoping Goku would win. Ranma and Bulma where holding each other, standing a little bit father back then the others.
Ranma had faced Piccolo right before Goku and he cursed himself for not being strong enough to help the man he considered his brother. He was leaning heavily on Bulma because of the little energy he had left.
Piccolo had been fighting Goku for a while and was getting worried, he wasn't sure if he could beat Goku. He looked around to see if there was anything he could use to his advantage.
His eyes locked onto two figures and a cruel smile came to his lips.
"Try and stop this, Son Goku!" yelled Piccolo before firing a massive ball of chi at the forms of Ranma and Bulma.
"No, Don't!" yelled Goku trying as hard as he could to get in front of the blast, even though he knew he was too far away.
"I love you." was the last thing Bulma heard before she was flung away from Ranma and the ball of chi.
She turned in time to see the massive ball of chi slam into Ranma, who had his arms crossed in front of him.
"No, Ranma!" yelled Bulma in anguish, she tried to run to him but was held back by Yamcha and Tien.
The smoke and dust from the blast slowly cleared showing Ranma still standing with his arms crossed. At first he seemed fine but then he slowly fell back on the ground.
Bulma broke out of Yamcha and Tien's hold and ran to Ranma's body. When she got there she knelt down and took his head into her lap.
As she brushed his hair with tears flowing down her face he opened one eye.
"Bulma,how many...times...do..I..have..to..tell you.. you're much cuter...when you smile.." said Ranma in a tired voice.
"Shh,don't talk, save your strength." said Bulma.
Ranma slowly shook his head no before talking again.
"Bulma, we both know I am going to die." said Ranma.
"No! I wont let you." said Bulma
"Bulma, you can wish me back." said Ranma
"I still don't want you to die." said Bulma
"It will only be for a little while. I want you to do something for me while I am gone." said Ranma.
"What?" asked Bulma
"Kick the old man and pig extra hard for me until I get back." said Ranma
"Of course." said Bulma with a small smile
Ranma smiled before closing his eyes and drawing his last breath. Tears once again started falling from Bulma as she held Ranma to her.
Above them, Goku was growling in anger for the first time in his life. He slowly turned toward Piccolo, who was smirking in triumph.
The smirk quickly fled his face when he felt Goku's power going even higher in his anger.
...Two weeks later.
The dragonballs had been collected and the friends of Ranma were there, ready to wish him back. Bulma walked up to the dragonballs.
What no one noticed was the trio hiding in the bushes near them.
"Oh great dragon, come forth to grant our wish!" yelled Bulma
In a couple of seconds Shenron appeared in front of them.
"What is your wish?" asked Shenron.
Before Bulma could say anything a voice yelled from behind her.
"I wish for Son Ranma to have never been born in this dimension." said a high pitched voice.
Everyone turned to see Emporer Pilaf and his two flunkies, standing there laughing in triumph. The three were silenced when Goku blasted them, disintegrating them in his rage.
They all then turned to see what Shenron would say. The dragons eyes glowed red before it said,
"Wish Granted" to the horror of those watching.
As they stood there history was being rewritten from the moment Ranma had been born to then. As Bulma was slowly blacking out and the world changed she thought one thing,
"I will never forget you Ranma." before she finally blacked out.
...another dimension.
Nodaka and Genma Saotome had just learned that they would never be able to have a child and were devastated. As they walked past a small alley they heard crying coming from inside.
They looked in and saw a small baby in a basket. They looked for someone but couldn't find anyone else in the alley.
The two talked to each other before nodding and taking the baby with them.
A.N So here it is the second chapter of Meet Son Ranma. This is the longest chapter I've ever done I think. Don't worry, I should have another chapter of Hero of the Races up soon. So please review until then.
