Two beasts are facing each other.

A giant turtle-like beast, which stood two stories tall, had black scales and a red jagged shell. Its face also had some sort of carapace on it, and behind was a long scaly tail with jagged spikes on top. Despite the intimidating size and appearance, it looked beaten, with a fragmented spot on the carapace, a missing eye, scratches on the scales, and a couple of missing pieces from the shell.

Facing the turtle was a small creature. Standing on two feet, was a monkey with anthropomorphic traits, it stood about the same height as a 13 year old. It's completely covered in orange-brown fur with the exception of the forearms and forelegs being yellow and expose its hands and feet, also has a puff of yellow fur the chest, the face is exposed to revealed a monkey-like face with anthropomorphic properties and has a trim of yellow fur on the head. And it also has a tail. It stood against the turtle as it took a kata stance.

The turtle screeches, as it lash its tail towards the monkey, smashing the ground. But the monkey quickly jumped out, dodging it, on top of the air. Wind swirling around it and it positioned itself before shooting straight at the tail rearing back a fist and punching the tail. A large sound was heard, with the addition of snapping. The turtle screeches in pain as it rears back its tail, the part seems numb.

The monkey landed on the ground before projecting itself toward the distressed turtle, punching at its right side of the face, before rising and delivering a drop kick at the nuzzle, followed by a roundhouse. Those attacks have power into it that no one expects a monkey to do, aside from a gorilla.

The monkey then jumps high and getting close to the shell, it rear back both fists and as soon as it got close, it launched a full fury of punches. The punches were so fast that they blur, hitting one place on the shell. Normally the turtle's shell's durability is high but this doesn't stop the monkey… considering that it already took a few chunks of it. The last punch managed to break through the hard shell, taking a huge chunk and exposing the flesh. The monkey brought its hands close, generating an orb of energy before it brought down to the exposed flesh, the attack disintegrate the flesh as blood gush out making the turtle screech in pain.

Jumping off the shell at the moment it attacks the flesh, the monkey falls toward the top head of the turtle, getting closer to its rear back it's fist and this time it's covered in Ki energy, it throws its Ki Punch on the head.

BOOM!

The sound of the hard smash echoing the area. After a moment, the turtle begins to go numb and gives in as it below falls on the ground, including its tail, lastly its head falls to the ground.

The monkey jumped off the head and landed on the ground. The monkey turns around to stare at the fallen turtle, it heave a sign and falls on its butt as it sits.

"Man… that was tough." The Monkey said. It was a hard battle. "This turtle was hard to beat, well, not like the Diamond Turtle, its shell is literally made of diamond. Glad that experience helped me get through this one."

"This big guy won't trouble any villages again… ahhh, at times I wish I could at least have a thank you." The monkey sighed as it lay on its back. It had heard of this turtle destroying any village it moves and heading towards one nearby, the monkey took upon itself to stop it, bound by the honour.

As the monkey lay down, it heard a voice.

The Unnamed Trickster Monkey can now evolve.

"Alright! About time! It took way longer than the others." The Monkey sits up, excitedly. "Ok, show me the options!"

The path of evolution you may choose are:

Jester Monkey

Berserk Gorilla

Yuconl

The Trickster Monkey sees the option in its head, pondering. "The Jester Monkey? Well, considering that I'm a Trickster Monkey. Berserk Gorilla? Kinda reminds me of the Mad Gorilla, wonder what differences there are? Wait a minute: what the heck is a Yuconl?"

"Come on Appraisal, do your work." The Monkey focuses on the Yuconl option as the voice announced.

The Yuconl. An advanced and very rare species of monkey-type monster. Powerful, faster, possessed the same intelligence as humanoid races. Their appearance strongly resembles that of a humanoid race, making them mistaken for beastkin.

"Wait. Say what? Their appearance strongly resembles a humanoid?!" The Monkey exclaimed. "Then that would mean… could I…?"

The Trickster Monkey has spent over 10 minutes pondering about the possibilities and possible downsides of the option. It finally made its decision. "Alright. I decided; I'll choose Yuconl!"

After declaring it, the monkey was suddenly envelope in glowing light as it suddenly went to a change. After it dies down, the monkey gains a new body.

"Quite a quick evolution." He said. He looks at his new body, as the explanation describes, he does possess a humanoid body. No longer is he short, as he grew taller. His whole body is covered in red fur, with the exception of his hands, feet and a portion of his chest. He ran his hands on his face, noticed that it became humanoid as well, before running over his head to feel his hair. He noticed that he still has his monkey tail after feeling it.

"Man, I really do have a very humanoid appearance. Beats from being short and looking more like a monkey. Now what does my face look like." The Monkey conjured water magic over his hands, creating an oval-shaped puddle with a clear reflection, when he looked at it… he was shocked.

"No way… this is… the face I have before I die!" The monkey exclaimed in shock. Indeed, it was his old human face with blue eyes. The water dispersed, his head lowered, his shoulders shaking.

Before he suddenly starts laughing excitedly like a mad man. "AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! After all this time I finally got my old face!"

He got up and cheerfully declared. "Ranma Saotome is back!"

Yes, indeed, this monkey was once someone known as Ranma Saotome. To make a brief explanation, he was reincarnated as a monkey type monster in another world. And as to how it all happens, let's go back from the very beginning…

Here's a new Ranma 1/2 idea, an Isekai reincarnation.

In this idea, Ranma died and was reincarnated as a monkey in another world, like the Isekai stories following MCs reincarnated as monsters with evolutions and stuff. So Ranma will have to start by scratch, to become stronger, going through evolution, in order to survive.

BTW, has anyone guessed what the Yuconl's appearance is based on?

See you soon.
