I do not own these characters nor do I claim too, this is a simple fan based homage. Their creators and the companies they work for and with own the characters and all that pertains to them. (I.E. Rumiko Takahashi, Viz, Shougakukan, Pioneer LDC, Hiroki Hayashi, Ryoe Tsukimura, Akira Toriyama) This is just fans of the shows expressing their love for it for fun, no profit is involved or expected thank you.
Note: A little warning first, during the fight sequences I could only hint at some of the things that Ranma had changed during the last twenty years. But now you will see some of the things that are different, and a lot of the DBZ cast will be OOC because the previous events in the past that were totally different.

Up in the mountains far from civilization sits a small cabin, once Goku his grandpa Gohan and Ranma lived there. For many years it has sat unused till, one day, the android woman named simply 18 happened to ironically stumble upon it. Not knowing who the previous owner had been she set about fixing it up trying to make sense of the things she has seen and experienced lately. Her life had been understandable to her before, destroy, that was her life's goal, now though, what with remembering her life before Dr. Gero, and her experiences sense wakening up she just doesn't know.
'And now' she thinks 'that, that . . . BAKA man, the arrogant, ARGH. Why do I let him get to me so much, and why am I taking care of him? I just can't understand this, I find him passed out in the forest, why didn't I just destroy him?'
As these thoughts flood thru her mind, Android 18 takes a series of logs and flings them into the air aiming her pointer finger at them she lets loose a thin beam of power. The logs then fall into a neat pile at her feet cut into precise pieces. Gathering them up in her arms she walks inside the cottage placing the wood next to the fireplace where a large cast iron pot sits suspended over it, it's contents bubbling and hissing.
"Stupid woman I tell you I am fine," comes a grumbly voice from the cot in the corner.
Turning to face the prince of the Saiya-jin #18 yells back at him "YOU SHUT UP, stupid fool, you can't even use your arm, AND you let infection set in. So unless you want to lose that arm you better be quiet. I don't even know why I'm helping you, now just let me get this soup done stupid man."
Grumbling to himself "when I get out of this bed I'll kick your @$^."
Smirking at Vegeta # 18 says, "you just couldn't let the Namekian kid heal you, had to be the big bad man after Cell kicked the crap out of you. And look at you now acting like a petulant child."
"SHUT UP ONNA I AM NOT A CHILD," he roars trying to sit up obviously in great pain.
Walking over to the struggling Saiya-jin, Android # 18 pushes the struggling man down with obvious ease. "Your fever will only get worse if you don't take it easy. And stop moving around or your arm will never heal, it was practically ripped off."
Falling back onto the cot with a groan Vegeta mutters "Saiya-jin do not get sick woman."
"Snort," laughs 18 in derision stirring the soup hanging over the fire, "that heart virus that Goku had was a sickness wasn't it."
"That was just a one time thing," explains Vegeta petulantly.
Turning around to Vegeta # 18 gestures with the wooden spoon in his direction asking, "you mean to say that no Saiya-jin in the history of Vegetasei ever got sick?"
Self-consciously Vegeta looks away from her "not exactly, their were some diseases on Vegetasei, but no weak alien illness could ever hurt one of us."
"Look Vegeta," she explains in a more soothing though slightly incredulous tone "you were beaten to a pulp by Cell, then instead of getting help you wandered off on your own to tuff it out. And cause you couldn't bring yourself to ask to stay with someone you just camped out in the elements.
"Its no wonder that in your weakened state you got sick. It could happen even to you."
"Even Saiya-jin have to have limits you know. You were just lucky I found you when I did or you would probably be dead already. And would that be any way for the prince of all Saiya-jin to die, Alone in the forest of a disease? "
". . ."
"Now lay there and shut up or you can go out there and die, I really don't care, I can't even tell you why I'm doing this anyway."
With this statement # 18 turns away to tend the fire and soup thinking on her current situation. Vegeta though is angry over feeling so vulnerable, never in all his life has he been in a situation like this. And as he falls into a fitful slumber he can't help but feel on a subconscious level a certain warmth for the blond android.
To be continued;
In Only Human Chapter Seven,
The Past Catches up
A Scene from Chapter Seven;
Gazing across the lab at the intruder and the sword bared at her, Bulma gulps muttering, "This is some time to try and get my life together."
End Notes:
Thank you for all your help with Gohan's age, and for your reviews I appreciate them all. And now another Question now that we have discussed Gohan's age what is Videl's age in relation to Gohan's? I mean is she older, younger, what? All of this is just so I can set the stage for things that will happen waaayyy in the future. Because mind you in this universe of my story Gohan is only ten when the Cell games happen. And as to Vegeta's behavior and the fact that he got sick, I just want to say that almost all of our knowledge about the Saiya-jin in the cannon universe comes from Vegeta himself. And would he admit to any fault or weakness? No way, a lot of times I think that Vegeta is just full of crap. And just to let you know I do like Vegeta, It's just that sometimes I think he needs a good kick in the pants. And in this universe he hasn't had Bulma's influence and because of things I am not going to go into he is slightly even more angry and arrogant.
Anyway thanks for everything and please Review.
