Authors Note. Hello Everyone we're back again, except this time we have decided to join forces in this Epic masterpiece. O.K first up some of the inconsistencies. Project A-ko is set in the year 2015 or 2043 depending on who you ask. And since Ranma is set in present day or thereabouts, we have a rather major inconsistency. So we're going to cop out and not explain this and pretend its not there. Next we take no responsibility for the actions of the characters. We didn't write this it just happened. We don't control the characters. The characters control us!!!! ARRGHHH!!...

Chapter 1
The Graviton City airport is a bustle of activity. People mill about trying to make it to their respective planes to either see people off, meet people or depart for some destination.
Announcer: This is the final boarding call for flight 937 flying to Tokyo, this is the final call.
Screams can be heard down the corridor, as a young school girl with red hair barrels through the crowd. She carries a smaller girl with blonde hair in tow.
C-ko: Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!
A-ko: Don't worry C-ko we're almost there!
A-ko and C-ko skid to a halt out side the boarding lounge. A trail of destruction can be seen in the background, and numerous civilians lie injured or wounded. Standing by the boarding desk stands an attractive purple haired woman. She does not seem to be pleased to see A-ko.
B-ko: So A-ko, Trying to steal C-ko away for yourself were you?
A-ko: (thinking) She's making me late again! (outloud) I don't have time for this B-ko! Just let me board the plane.
B-ko: Not until you hand C-ko over, A-ko.
A-ko: She's not a possession that you can own, B-ko.
C-ko: HI B-KO! (Waves)
B-ko: If you won't hand C-ko over willingly I'll just have to take her!
B-ko rips off her school clothes revealing the Akagiyama 23 body armour. She raises her arm and takes aim at A-ko.
Miss Ayumi Sensei: Come along now girls, if you don't board the plane now they'll leave without you.
All the girls board the plane, except A-ko and B-ko, still facing each other.
C-ko: A-ko! I'll save you a seat!
A-ko: O.K. I won't be long, C-ko.
B-ko: A-ko, prepare to d....
Miss Ayumi Sensei: (sharply) A-ko, B-ko, you have plenty of time to gossip on the plane, so GET ON IT NOW!!!
B-ko: But...
Miss Ayumi Sensei: HURRY UP! GET ON THE PLANE ALREADY!
A-ko: (thinking) Miss Ayumi's lost it again...
B-ko: (Humph!) We'll finish this later, A-ko.
A-ko/B-ko: Yes Miss Ayumi.
A-ko and B-ko enter the plane.
A-ko: I've been looking forward to this trip, I think it's gonna be a real opportunity, studying at another school. (thinking) Nerima High is Co-ed after all...
C-ko: Yeah! This is going to be GREAT!!! This plane's so big. Its so big its so big its so big.
C-ko leaps into her seat and presses her face up against the window. After a few minutes the plane takes off.
A-ko: Gee I hope there are some cute boys at this school.
C-ko gives a quick scowl at the four letter words, but breaks into a wide grin as a stewardess approaches.
Stewardess: Hello little girl what’s your name?
C-ko: I'm C-ko!!!
Stewardess: Who you like a colouring book C-ko?
C-ko Nods affirmatively with wide eyes.
Stewardess: And how old are you?
C-ko: I'm sixteen.
The stewardess goes into shock
Stewardess: HOW OLD!!?
A-ko simply smiles at her and shrugs. C-ko starts drawing with her crayons over the already existing pictures. The stewardess recovers somewhat.
Stewardess: Are you both comfortable?
A-ko: Yes thankyou.
C-ko: Mmhhmmmm Its a lot more comfortable in here than it would be on the wing.
Stewardess (Laugh): Yes Yes I'm sure it is.
Ryoga (thinking): Oh Akane by hitching a ride on this airplane I should be in Tokyo at least three weeks earlier than I expected. This time for sure I'm going to tell you whats really in my heart. Feeling as pure as pure as the clouds below me.
B-ko: (Thinking) Damn that A-ko, monopolising C-ko like that. Soon though soon she will be mine, and you A-ko, you will die Die DIE!
B-ko starts laughing Maniacally.
A flying saucer is trailing the plane, maintaining visual contact. The Alpha Cygnan Scout Transporter is piloted by D, wearing her usual tacky spy clothes. The Captain is beside her, reading a guide to Tokyo's nightlife.
D: Don't worry Princess, I will keep watch on you and keep you safe. Even if our spaceship is hopelessly damaged beyond repair, we'll find a way to get you home.
B-ko: (shouts) WHAT'S FATHER DOING HERE!!!!
Everyone looks at B-ko strangely.
A-ko: (Thinking) What's B-ko's problem? Oh well.
Ranma: Yo Kuno! You're holding your bat all wrong!
Furinken high is holding a baseball tournament between Nabiki's class and Ranma and Akane's class. Presently Kuno is standing on the plate holding the baseball bat like a boken.
Kuno: Silence nave! Who are you to correct the Great Tatewaki Kuno, Skien of the house of Kuno and Blue thunder of Furinken High. Very well, challenge and learn!
Nabiki: Just throw the ball already.
Daisuke winds up for the pitch and pitches the ball towards the plate. Kuno begins stabbing at the ball rather than swinging for it.
Kuno: Da da da da da!
Surprisingly he appears to have a moderate degree of success with this technique that lesser Kendo champions would enjoy. He strikes the ball and it flies out towards the outfield. Kuno doesn't move, however, and watches the ball fly into the outfield.
Kuno: And once again I Tatewaki Kuno have single handedly pulled his team back from defeat and into the glory that is victory!
Nabiki: Run you fool! Run!
Kuno: Ha I will do no such thing. Lesser men run. I shall stride.
Kuno strides proudly towards first base. A man in the outfield throws the ball to the man on first. Kuno calmly approaches and lowers the bat in an offensive position.
Kuno: I believe the rules of martial arts baseball state that I cannot be deemed out unless I am touched by the ball. Let any man who attempts this feel the wrath of Kuno.
As the man on first attempts to mark Kuno with the ball, Kuno strikes at him with his bat moving it so quickly that the man can't find an opening. Eventually the ball flies from his hand and across the field to Ranma who is on second.
Kuno: Ahhh Saotome! Now we shall see who is the greater baseball player. Have at thee!
Kuno raises the bat to strike Ranma across the head. Ranma responds by kicking Kuno in the face. Kuno Stunned stops in mid strike and Ranma calmly places the ball ontop of Kuno's head.
Ranma: There's no question as to who's the better player Kuno.
Referee: You're OUT!!!!!!!
Kuno: What do you mean I'm out! Have you no eyes I'm the great Tatewaki Kuno! I demand a rescount.
Nabiki: Oh good grief.
The Graviton City girls file into a large dormitory, containing about 20 beds. B-ko's eyes widen as she sees an elaborate 4 post bed amongst the standard ones. On it is a card embossed with gold foil.
B-ko: What's this?
The entire class give B-ko a bemused look as she strides over to the bed and picks up the card.
B-ko: (reading) Reserved for B-ko Daitokuji. (thinking) Father! Here I was thinking you was up to something! I suppose you were just making sure I was comfortable.
A-ko and C-ko pick adjacent beds at the far end of the dorm.
B-ko: (thinking) Damn! I was hoping to get a bed near C-ko. I'll get my revenge....
A-ko glances at B-ko's fancy bed with undisguised contempt.
A-ko: (thinking) Well! Look at B-ko on her precious antique. She thinks she's so great.
C-ko: Hey A-ko! Y'know I made sure we'll be in the same classes when we go to Furink... A-ko! Are you listening?
A-ko is still scowling at B-ko.
A-ko: Huh? Oh yeah C-ko.
C-ko: Anyway, as I was saying, tomorrow we've got home economics, maths, and... A-KO! Listen to me!
A-ko sits up abruptly at C-ko's sudden scolding.
A-ko: (thinking) Gosh, C-ko's my best friend and all, but she's demanding! (out loud) Sorry C-ko... I was just thinking about how much fun we'll have.
C-ko brightens up again.
C-ko: (giggles) GOOD! (sings) I'm looking forward to tomorrow, tomorrow tomorrow. I'm looking forward to tomorrow, It's gonna be a very fine day!
A-ko sags in embarrassment and buries herself face down in a nearby pillow.
B-ko is now lying on her bed, when she notices a button on the bedside console.
B-ko: (thinking) Ahh! How thoughtful! It must be a light switch. Or maybe a laser for frying A-ko. We'll see.
B-ko presses the button, and the bed shudders, then sinks into the floor.
B-ko: WHAT!!
B-ko tries to leap out of the bed, but forcefields built into the posts prevent her . The bed, now a custom built lift descends down a shaft, the floor of the dormitory closing behind it.
The class watches the bed disappear, then they go back to their own business. After all, B-ko's always up to this kind of mischief.
Ume: Humph! Miss Daitokuji neglected to brief us on this plan.
Asa: Well, maybe we should play it by the book. Standard procedure.
Ume: Right. (nodding toward Ine, who's already unpacking her handicam.)
A-ko: B-ko's up to another one of her schemes... Probably building another one of her stupid toys.
The bed comes to rest in a cavernous subterranean conference room. Seated at the head of a large table is Hikaru Daitokiji, seated next to him is a large man wearing an aloha shirt, sunglasses a lei and has a palm tree growing out of the top of his head. The bed's forcefields deactivate and B-ko cautiously approaches the two.
Hikaru: B-ko! So glad you could come to the meeting.
B-ko: (furious): WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING BRINGING ME DOWN HERE! I WAS TRYING TO SLEEP!!
Hikaru: (unperturbed) B-ko I would like for you to meet Mr Kuno the principal of Furinken.
Principal Kuno: Aloha!
B-ko: Excuse me?
Principal Kuno: Aloha! It means hello, good bye and I love you.
B-ko: I'm aware of its meaning, I just took it out of context. Father what is this man doing here?
Hikaru: We are merely completing some... engagements...
B-ko (sternly): What engagements?
Hikaru: Mr Kuno and I have decided that you shall wed his son Tatewaki!
B-ko: WHAT!!!!! FATHER! I DO NOT NEED YOU INTERFERING WITH MY SOCIAL LIFE! I CAN FIND A MAN ANYTIME!
Hikaru raises his eyebrow, then chuckles.
Hikaru: B-ko, You're sixteen! Don't you think it's time for you to find a husband? I promise you that you will be happy with Tatewaki. After all, He's perfect for you.
Kuno strides down a corridor, still wearing his baseball clothes. He is still in a foul mood from being ruled "out" at the (so called) game.A female voice can be heard in the distance.
B-ko: THERE IS NO WAY I'M GOING TO MARRY... THIS... THIS KUNO!!!
Kuno: Hark I here the voice of the Pig tailed girl. (Tears well up in his eyes) And she speaks of marriage to me! What a joyous day. (shouts) I, Kuno, your white knight, the blue thunder of Furikan high, come for you my pig tailed goddess!
Kuno barrels down the corridor and runs through the door which explodes. He rushes to B-ko and embraces her.
Kuno: Oh pig tailed girl my love!!
B-ko: Get off me now!
Kuno: Oh but pig tailed girl were we not made for each other. And you talk of marriage truly this happy union of.... wait... you are not the pig tailed girl. What have you done with her.
Kuno begins looking around the room.
Kuno: Pig Tailed girl? Pig Tailed girl?
Principal Kuno: Son I am having very good news for you. Starting today you are engaged to B-ko here.
Kuno: (enraged.) WHAT! I cannot allow such an unholy union to be perpetrated.
B-ko: (mutters) You CAN'T be serious. I'm marrying that....
Hikaru: (looking at the shattered door) Oh yes he will be perfect.
Kuno: How could the melody that sounds so sweet coming from ones lips sound so sour coming from another?
B-ko: What?!?
Kuno: I cannot marry this... peasant my heart already belongs to another.
B-ko: PEASANT!!!
Hikaru: This pig tailed girl...
Kuno: and Akane Tendo...
Hikaru: You pursue two women simultaneously.
B-ko: Why you two timing..
Kuno: Ha!, silence wench. It would be dishonourable to secretly pursue one without the others knowledge. And so I pursue both openly thereby acting honourably.
B-ko: Sounds like two timing to me. Father there is no way that I'm marrying this.. this... this.. pervert.
Hikaru: Don't worry B-ko love/hate relationships are the basis for almost every marriage.
B-ko: But I don’t love him, I just hate him.
Kuno: I will not marry this commoner father, I suggest you make alternative plans.
B-ko: Commoner.
Kuno: Indeed..
B-ko: I hate you!
Kuno: I'm so glad.
Principal Kuno: Son I am begging you to reconsider.
Kuno: I think not!
Principal Kuno: Perhaps you would prefer...
Principal Kuno pulls out a remote control and a pot plant in the corner of the room starts heading menacingly towards Kuno...
Kuno: (Backing away fearfully) Ahhhhh Perhaps I shall consider this matter further before making a decision.
Principal Kuno: I am thinking that would be wise choice...
Ranma: Drop it..
Ranma stands threateningly by the table looking intently at his father.
Ranma: That buns mine old man. Now hand it over or else...
Genma: Or else what boy? Whatta are ya gunna do?
Ranma: Or else YOUR GUNNA REGRET IT!!!!
Genma and Ranma start trading blows fighting over who will gain possession of the bread. In the background Akane enters the room wearing her school uniform.
Kasumi: Good Morning Akane. Breakfast is just being served.
Akane: Thanks Kasumi.
Soun: So Akane, isn't today the day when all those students from Graviton city are supposed to be starting?
Akane: Yep, it should be fun to have some new faces around, and not have to worry about any bizarre martial artists.
Nabiki: I still think its odd that their trying to unload a group of students from an all girl school onto us.
Akane: What do you mean?
Nabiki: Oh come on Akane, its obvious that they're problem students, that their previous school couldn't handle, so instead of dealing with them the school obviously shipped them to our school, because the old teachers can't handle them.
Akane: You don't seriously believe that do you?
Nabiki: Of course. With all the problem students at our school its no surprise.
Ranma has thrown Genma into the pool and has the bread bun in his hand. A soggy panda rears its head from the pool of water.
Ranma: Ha take that old man! AAAAAAAHHHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA AAAAAAAHHHAHAHAHAHAHA
Genma throws one of his signs which plants itself firmly in Ranma's mouth.
Ranma: mnmnmhmnmnmnnnnnn
Nabiki: See what I mean.
Akane: I hope you're not going to try and pick up any of the women from these exchange students Ranma!
Ranma: Jinkies Akane, I'm glad you think so highly of me.
Akane: Well considering how many girl friend you already have....
Ranma: Well its not my fault. Its not like I tried to pick them up.
Akane: It seems to me that you go out of your way to keep them though.
Ranma: And just what the hell is that supposed to mean?
A-ko: AGAIN!!! C-ko Why didn't you wake me?
C-ko: I did wake you! You just rolled over and went back to sleep.
A-ko: AAAArrrgggghhhhh...
A-ko leaps up and begins putting on her school uniform. Less than half a minute later she grabs C-ko by the arm, and the two depart at supersonic speed.
Happosai: What a haul! What a haul! Uhhh what’s that.
In the distance a cloud of smoke can be seen as a rapidly approaching A-ko makes her way to school. C-ko bobs up and down as A-ko runs closer and closer to the short Martial arts master. All of a sudden A-ko feels an impenetrable force upon her chest. Her momentum is instantly brought to a stop as she moves from Mach 2 to 0 in less than a second. Sadly C-ko's momentum is not and she goes flying off down the street minus an A-ko.
Happosai: Well well well what have we here?
A-ko looks down and sees the martial arts Master standing atop of the green bag has stopped her, with one hand which he has placed upon her breast. She double takes looking first at Happosai and then at his hand.
A-ko: AAAAARRRRGGGGGGHHHHHHHHH!!! Get off of me. I... oh no C-ko!
Ranma looks up as C-ko flies into him, knocking them both off the bridge and into the storm drain below. There is a splash and when everything clears C-ko is lying on top of Ranma-Chan. The two look at each other for a moment and all is silent until...
Ranma: You must be one of the new exchange students....
End of Part 1
Authors note:
Ed: It's not that easy writing a crossover, especially.... (Arrrgh! Writers block)
Dave: Your Pathetic Edds. Jeeze!**Whaps Ed in the head with Mallet** Do I have to do everything around here?
Ed: Why YOU!!!!! (puffs angrily) NOW LISTEN TO ME!!!! (turns back to readers) Excuse us...
Wham BIFF CRASH OUCH.
Ed and Dave both appear injured, with an assortment of bandages and slings.
Ed: See what I mean!
Dave: In all honesty we are trying really hard to keep the characters consistent with their respective Animes. It helps since I'm obsessed with Ranma 1/2 and he's obsessed with Project A-ko.
Ed: Well I wouldn't say obsessed.
Dave: Anyway we hope you are enjoying this and we will try and keep the characterisation consistent.
Ed: And If not, we can just call it an "Elseworlds" reality!
Dave: That's a bit of a cop out' isn't it?
Ed: Yeah, so sue me. But seriously... (Ed looks serious) We can be contacted on my Email account, which is: evagg@hubble.dialix.com.au
Dave: Please stay tuned for chapter 2.
