General Idea: One of the most striking features of anime is, surprisingly enough, the vibrant hair colors. One color to rule them all, wait a second, this isn't LOTR, back up a sec. But anyway, back to hair color and anime. Seems to me that certain color hair has certain connotations, granted, they aren't universal, but some stand above the rest. For example, people with teal/aquamarine hair tend to be classy or calm, they tend to be sophisticated or regal, with the best examples being Sasami/Tsunami or Michiru. But, like I was about to say earlier, one color to rule them all, red. Bloody crimson red, it represents one of 2 things, chaos, and being Fate's bitch. Thank Amaterasu that very few series are dumb enough to allow more than one redhead to get together… uh-oh, I think Happosai is about to do something really *very* stupid again, and the red quotient will hit critical mass. The inspiration for this bit of insanity belongs to Miriani's "Twins of Flame," which I really wish would be continued.
Disclaimer: I own nothing, no one that actually owns a series is dumb enough to have multiple redheads in their work, that's just how these things go.
What if Sylphiel didn't stop Lina from casting the imperfect Giga Slave during the battle with Copy Rezo in season 1 of Slayers? What if Happosai did something stupid (well, he does that anyway)? The answer, pure chaos… I mean, more than usual chaos… wait, they already have that anyway. I know
Chaos Squared erm… Cubed
[I'm rewatching Slayers, if/when I pick this story up, I promise I'll make this beginning dialogue a bit more in character, it has been a VERY long time since I've seen the end of season 1]
"Hahaha, little girl, you are no match for me, why don't you give up and go play with your dollies," Copy Rezo taunted.
"Grrrr! FIREBALL!" Lina shouted and launched her signature move to have it fizzle out at a mere wave of Rezo's hand.
"A fireball, are we done yet? I should have known that a flat chested little wannabe sorceress like yourself wouldn't be worth my time, why don't you give up already?" Rezo continued to dance around Lina's best efforts to hit him. "Honestly, how did someone as pathetic as you destroy a piece of Ruby Eye, you really are powerless, aren't you. C'mon little girl, give me your best shot!"
"Aggh!! You, you, you asked for this!" Lina screamed in outrage and a golden miasma of power started to form around her.
"Darkness beyond blackest pitch.
Deeper than the deepest night."
A bolt of pure black, laced with lightning engulfed the young sorceress surpreme.
"King of darkness, who shines like gold upon the sea of chaos.
I call upon thee, and swear myself to thee."
"No! Lina, stop. It's what he wan" Sylphiel yelled, but was knocked out by a bolt power from the evil priest.
Let the fools who stand before me be destroyed by the power you and I possess!
GIGA SLAVE!"
A huge wave of lightning laced darkness exploded from Lina's hands, and her hair faded to a pure white. Rezo was completely engulfed, cackling, as the darkness coalesced on a single point and then exploded in a blinding flash of white.
"You've defied me for the last time boy," Happosai yelled as he splashed Ranma with a bucket of water, "though I might forgive you if you acknowledge me as your true master, and wear this." He pulled out an extremely lacy black bra and panty set.
"Shove it, Old Lech. You're not my master," Ranma yelled back, "Bring it on!"
"You asked for it boy," Happosai pulled out an ornately carved mirror and started to chant in an archaic tongue. Ranma, however, was bored by Happosai's threat. After all, the old pervert always had another magic object, and they always backfired somehow. Usually they just summoned some pathetic demon that would beat Happosai to a pulp before Ranma took care of them.
Happosai sneezed when he should have finished the chant, and the mirror started to heat up and glow extremely brightly. A ray of light shot from the mirror to hit Ranma in the chest, which caused the sometimes girl to freeze as a tremendous explosion rocked the backyard of the Tendo house. The other residents managed to get outside just in time to see Ranma's form bathed in brilliant white, her eyes blank, head pulled back, screaming silently. Her form wavered as they watched on, and then they were blinded as the glow reached its peak and abruptly faded, leaving behind nothing more than charred grass.
"Hahahaha! Yes, little girl, you call on forces you can't control. Bwahahaha, the Lord of Nightmares will consume this world!" Rezo's voice echoed from the blinding light. "Ahhhh!" Boom!
The Slayers crew were blinded entirely as the area Lina shot the spell lit up in a mushroom cloud, the shock wave from the explosion blowing them off their feet.
They recovered eventually.
"Huh, so the world is gone now?" Gourry asked.
"Gah! Jellyfish for brains, does the world look gone to you?" Lina smacked him in frustration.
"Well, no, but didn't he just say it was?" Gourry replied.
"Nevermind… it's like talking to a three year old," Lina muttered.
"Hey! What's that?" Gourry said and pointed at the small, charred and smoking form at the bottom of the crater Rezo's demise had left behind.
AN: This is extremely rough, just an idea to get Ranma into the same timeline as Lina. One of them is more than enough to destroy the world, I'd love to see what two of them together can do. There really aren't enough Slayers/Ranma crosses, and heck, the 2 girls can pass as twins. I may eventually pick this up, but I'm just floating it. Any thoughts as to where it should go/how the merging worlds should be accomplished would be appreciated. I won't pick this up until I've finished rewatching the first 3 seasons of Slayers, at the very least. Though, I probably won't pick it up at all until I've got a bit more done in my other story/stories.
