Version 1.1 (slight changes has been made since ver 1.0)
Hi all!
This is a fanfic that attempts to bring two anime universes together, the Dragonball universe, and the Ranma 1/2 universe. In Dragonball universe, the timeline was never clearly stated, therefor, I must make up a time slot to begin everything. This story begins right after the last manga of Ranma 1/2, issue 38. I will assume that this time period is still pre-Dragonball, meaning that baby Goku (Kakarrot) has not arrive on earth yet. However, this story does contain some time traveling elements (BIG hint there ^_^). I will try to make it so it won’t be confusing, but if time traveling makes your head spin, take Tylenol. This story will be continuously updated, so if you like the story, just check in once in a while for new parts. One last note, this is my 1st attempt at fanfiction, so Be Nice, and enjoy!

Ranma 1/2 Z Part I
(Or Ranma Nibunnoichi Z)
Written By Tony Chen
A Ranma 1/2 and Dragonball Z Crossover Fanfic, Inspired by the Ranma 1/2 Manga by Rumiko Takahashi and the Dragonball Manga by Akira Toriyama. Words in parenthesis shows thoughts ( ) (
Ranma 1/2 Z, part 1
*********************************************************************
*********************************************************************
*Shot of the Nerima District, right above the familiar Tendo residence, on a quiet sunny morning, until.......*
Akane: RANMA NO BAKA!
*We see an angry Akane chasing Ranma around the house menacingly waving a hammer. Ranma seemed very bored, effortlessly maneuvering to dodge Akane’s strikes. A path of destruction follows the two energetic figures*
Ranma: Aw common Akane, *leaps up just in time to avoid a blow* I don’t need this. (It just doesn’t pay to wake up anymore) What did I do now?
Akane: It’s not what you did, *swings again* it’s what you DIDN’T do! I woke up at 4 just to prepare a decent breakfast for everybody. Kasumi was sick, so I had to help. Dad and Mr. Saotome was nowhere to be found, and Nabiki is probably on another date. You’re the only one here, so I thought you’d be happy to have everyone else’s share. Now I’m giving you one last chance, EAT! *Puts hammer away somewhere and hands Ranma a bowl of mushy rice with some very interesting color patterns*
Ranma: *stares at bowl* You expect me to eat that?! No way!
Akane: grrrrr....fine! Then I’ll eat it! *Puts bowl to face*
Ranma: *stares in horror, but instantly snatches bowl away from her* Baka! What are you trying to do, kill yourself? Fine, I’ll eat this! (Time to use the technique I learn from that Frenchy)
Akane: *looks at Ranma, surprised*
Ranma: (Anything Goes Martial Arts Dinning!) *Ranma’s hands become a blur as the contents of the bowl quickly dissapear*. *Wipes mouth with napkin* OK there! Now I’ve got to go to school. Ja ne!
Akane: hmmp! *Walks back to kitchen, only to find the “rice” that was once in the bowl slowly dripping down the sink* That idiot! RANMA!!!!!! *Promptly engages pursuit*
Ranma: *seeing Akane catching up* Oh great! I knew I should have transferred it to the closets instead.
*Suddenly the ground on which Ranma just passed exploded*
Voice: Bakusai Tenketsu! *A figure in yellow and black, wearing a spotted headband came out of the rubble*
Ranma: *from a distance* Hey nice to see you Ryoga!
Akane: *from the opposite direction* Ranma! Get back here!
Ryoga: (Ranma must have done something to make Akane angry, UNFORGIVABLE!) Ranma! Die! *Rips out a bunch headbands and immediately throws them at Ranma*
Ranma: *dodges the incoming projectiles* Hey what you do that for?! (I’ll never understand that guy, forget it, I’m taking the river shortcut to school)
*Ranma turns at the river and hops off a line of poles sticking out from the water, unfortunately the 5th pole was loose, as the sign that was posted on it said, but even more unfortunately Ranma turned his head around just before landing on the 5th pole* *SPLASH*
Ranma-Chan: *in river* I can’t believe this is happening!
*As if on cue, Kuno came out of no where and runs toward his pig-tailed girl*
Kuno: Oh the Gods have smiled upon me, Tatewaki Kuno, age 17, Blue Thunder of Furikan High, this day. *Leaps off fence and tries to land on top of Ranma-Chan* PIG-TAILED GIRL!
Ranma-Chan: *grabs the loose pole and puts it right at the spot that she was* Nice to see you too Kuno.
Kuno: *KLUNK! crashes onto the pole, head first* That didn’t hurt. *Lifts head up, bruises form on top of bruises*
Ranma-Chan: *getting annoyed and promptly punts Kuno into the atmosphere*
Ryoga: *approaches river* RANMA!! What did you do to Akane?! Answer me!
Ranma-Chan: *now really annoyed* Calm down, Pig boy! *Throws water at Ryoga, instant P-chan*
Akane: *finally arrived on the scene, spots P-chan* P-chan! *Picks him up and hugs him* Where have you been?
P-chan: Bwee!
Ranma-Chan: *running to school* Nothing new happens anymore, not since that last battle with Saffron. Everything is just same ol same ol. I wish something interesting would happened....
*a small figure with long hair suddenly hops out from nowhere, and lightly stabs Ranma-Chan in the sides with a pointy stick*
Ranma-Chan: EEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!! *Turns around and notices Cologne* What do you want, you old troll!?
Cologne: *whacks Ranma-Chan in the head* Who are you calling a old troll, son-in-law? I just came to warn you to be careful what you ask for. I have a feeling you’ll get much more than you bargained for.
Ranma-Chan: ...........(hmmm, the old ghoul wouldn’t say that for no reason, I wonder what’s up) Ok, enough with the ominous mumbo-jumbo, just tell me what you mean by that?
Cologne: I don’t know for sure, son-in-law....
Ranma-Chan: *interrupts* Don’t call me SON-IN-LAW! I am not your son-in-law!
Cologne: *slighty annoyed* Just try to stay alive, so you’ll be able to marry Shampoo. Right now, I must return to the Nekkohanten. Who knows how many people are waiting in line *hops away, using the staff as a pogo stick*
Ranma-Chan: Good riddance! Now I gotta find me some hot water.
******************************************************************************* *******************************************************************************
*Cut to many years into the future, in Japan’s Western Province, looking down on a bustling city with hover cars, train tubes, high-tech buildings, etc. The camera zooms in on a particular building with the words Capsule Corp clearly written on it.*
*Cut to the inside of the building*
Alarms: Aaaaa----oooooooo----gaahhhhhhh! Aaaaaooooooogahhhhh!........ v*a mean looking person with a funky hair and a heck of a receding hair line comes into view*
Vegita: Shut that off! Or I’ll personally do it, for everyone’s sake.
*An aged man with round glasses and a white mustache hurries into the room*
Dr. Briefs: Calm down Vegita. *Throws several switches*
*alarms stops*
authors note: If you didn’t know, Dr. Briefs is the founder of Capsule Corp, Bulma’s dad.
Vegita: What are you trying to do? Raise hell?
*A short-haired middle aged women enters the room*
Bulma: What was that all about?
Dr. Briefs: *observing data flashing by a computer screen* This is very strange, strange indeed. The computer registers an anomaly in the time-space continuum. Either that or the it’s malfunctioning.
Bulma: Dad, you know that the things you built never malfunction, unless it’s been tampered with.
Vegita: Something tells me I’m not gonna like this. Grrrrrrr.
Dr. Briefs: I’ll have to analyze this data more. In the meantime, call Trunks. I think he should be notified of this as well. *********************************************************************************
*Cut to somewhere in the wild. We see two person in their late teens sparring each other*
Trunks: I haven’t had this much fun in years! Hyahh *throws a fireball at his opponent*
Goten: *moves head slightly as the fireball zooms right past him* *background explodes* Yeah, I haven’t practiced in a long time. *Charges toward trunks with kicks and punches* Huh! Hah! Hya!
Trunks: *parrys all incoming strikes* *grins* You’re getting slow, Goten. *Thrust knee upwards*
Goten: *notices know Trunks is only on one leg, and instantly moves to avoid the knee and at the same time trips Trunks* We’ll see who’s getting slow.
Trunks: *quickly recovers from trip* Lucky shot. Now let’s get serious.. Hyahhhhhhhh! *Trunks’s hair suddenly turns golden and spikey, as an aura surrounds him, turning into Super Trunks*
Goten: *grins* Now you’re talking. Hahhhhhhh! *Goten also flares up*
*the next few seconds the land around them was surrounded by dust and only harsh sounds of fist connecting and grunts can be heard. When the dust setteled, we can see just a crater at where the two had been, everything around them has been also vaporized. We see Trunks and Goten breathing slightly harder than before.
Goten: *clothes a little torn, and hair looks messier than ever* That was fun! We have to do this more often
Trunks: *a few strands of hair are in the wrong places of his face, plus his Capsule Corp Jacket is nowhere to be seen* *laughes* How long do you think it’ll take for this place to rebuild itself.
*Just then, Trunk’s communicator beeps*
Bulma: *from communicator* Trunks, something’s stranged has happened, come quick!
Trunks: Aw mom! I was just having fun! Alright, I’m coming! Goten, something’s up, I need to get back to Capsule Corp right away, coming?
Goten: huh? Sure. Let’s race there!
Trunks: I think I’ll take the hover jet. *Pulls out a capsule, pushes the button, and throws on the ground, instantly a aircraft worded “Capsule Corp” appears*
Goten: I’ll take something more traditional. NIMBUS! *A cloud zooms in from a distance and arrives at goten’s feet*
*the two figures take off*
****************************************************************************
*back at Capsule Corp, a large familiar group of people have gathered there, including Goku, Gohan, Piccolo, Kamesenin, Vegita, Bulma, Yamcha, Tenshinhan, Kuririn, #18, Yajirobee, Dr. Briefs, and newly arriving Goten and Trunks.*
*everybody seems to be greeting each other, especially Goku*
Bulma: Is that everybody? Good.
Kuririn: So Goku, how is your training with Ubuu going?
Goku: *laughing* Not bad, he’s getting better each day. And I learned to transform into Super Saiyajin Level 4.
*At this point the whole room was quite, everyone was shocked, especially Vegita*
Goku: *laughing* Boy are you guys easy to fool! I was just kidding! Had you going there, didn’t I Vegita?
*Everyone laughs, except Vegita, who was mumbling something....*
Dr. Briefs: Okay back to reality everybody. We have a serious problem in our hands.
*He pauses, as if for a dramatic effect*
Tenshinhan and Yamcha: So tell us already, we don’t have all day.
Dr. Briefs: To say it bluntly, this world has been changed
Everyone: What you mean by that?!
Dr. Briefs: I mean that this time line, the present, has been changed. And the changes aren’t over, it’s just starting. Bulma, can you locate the Dragonballs with the radar, now?
Bulma: Sure dad. *Takes out radar and turns it on* It’s showing just 3 of them, what happened to the others? *As soon as she said that one of the 3 Dragonballs bleeped out of existance, and only 2 flashing dots remain*
Everyone: What...how...what’s...did you see....must be broken.....
Dr. Briefs: As you can see, the Dragonballs are disappearing one by one.
Piccolo: but that’s impossible! How can it just disappear, when someone take’s it should still register on the radar, and how can they be gone, I’m still here!
Dr. Briefs: I’m afraid that’s not the only problem. If my calculations are correct, after all the Dragonballs are gone, each of us will disappear one by one, until this whole time line is wiped out.
Goku: But how?
*Everyone else nods at the question*
Dr. Briefs: That’s simple, from the temporal anomaly my computer system picked up earlier, I can safely say that someone has gone back to the past and tried to change history.
Whole Room: Gasp!
Goku: you mean like the time the other Trunks went back to past to warn us of the artificial humans.
Dr. Briefs: *nods* Hai, but I believe this time whoever went back has a evil purpose. I don’t know who it might be, but there’s a big chance that it’s one of the Z-fighter’s enemies.
Piccolo: Hmmmm.
Bulma: But Dad, do we know exactly what time period that person, or thing, went back to?
Dr. Briefs: Yes, I have pinpointed the time and location to be 1996, Tokyo, Japan.
Everyone: 1996? What so special about that?
Bulma: well obviously non of the Z fighters were in there in 1996. Goku wasn’t even here at that time. So they must be taking advantage of that fact and tried to destroy the world, with no one that can stop them.
Dr. Briefs: During that time period, a lot of strange things have happening around an area called the Nerima District. People reported seeing various people turning into animals. Often property gets destroyed by unknown causes, and what seem like light pillars often appear in a specific residence. Let me look at this more closely *tells computer to focus in on the area* I believe that house was owned by someone named Tendo.
Everyone: So?
Dr. Briefs: We need to locate the strongest fighters at that time period, so they can at least slow whoever is changing the past down. I think there *points at map* is where we can find them
Goten: And you think they can take on enemies that we barely defeat?
Dr. Briefs: *gravely* No, that is why we need to somehow help them
Kiririn: But how can we help, they’re there and we’re here.
Bulma: Oh Kirirn, obviously someone’s gonna have to travel back in time and warn these fighters, dad, have you found out who are the strongest yet?
Dr. Briefs: I’m looking into that right now, let me review the files I have on the Tendo residents.
*The last dragon ball beeps out of existence, and Dr. Briefs is getting nervous*
Dr. Briefs: computer, do quick scan!
*Moments later, three names and photos appear on the screen*
Goku: Let see, *reads screen* “Ranma Saotome”
Bulma: “Akane Tendo” *Akane looks very mean in this particular photo, causing her to have a more boyish appearance than ever*
Tenshinhan: and “Ryoga Hibiki”
Vegita: Hmp! Those are the strongest? They look weak to me. You should have done a more extensive search around the world.
Dr. Briefs: No time, I have a feeling I won’t be around much longer.....We need to quickly think up of a plan to help these young men. Informing them of the danger is not enough. Even training then to fight won’t be good enough.
Trunks: Then how can we help?
Goku: I know, we just all travel back into the past and fight them there.
Dr. Briefs: Unfortuately that would be impossible. I have only one experimental time machine, and I only have enough power to send one of you back, and even then that person can only stay there for a short amount of time. If that person doesn’t get back within a fixed number of days, he or she will be trapped in the space-time continuum forever.
*The whole room ponders, suddenly, Gohan speaks up*
Gohan: I have an idea, *smiles* We can make them into Super Saiyajins.
Vegita: What? Are you nuts? How can we do that?
Gohan: I’ve been, studying Genetics this summer, I think we can make a blood transfer to those 3 teens.
*Side comments can be heard all over the room*
Dr. Briefs: Hmmm, that might just work. After all, we can’t do much else. Does anyone have a better idea?
*Whole room is silent*
Dr. Briefs: Good. Now we need to find out what blood type these teens are.
*The computer crunches a few moments*
Dr. Briefs: Ahh, there! Let see, Ranma Saotome has the same blood type as Goku, Ryoga Hibiki has the same type as Vejita, and Akane Tendo has the same blood type as Goten. Now, we need to draw the blood from each of you. Are you up to it?
Goku: Yeah!
Goten: *gulp* I guess.
Vegita: How humiliating. Me, the prince of Vejita, has to share my royal blood with a common Earth boy. Grrrr, You know I have no choice. Whoever this Ryoga maybe, he had better be worthy of my blood!
Dr. Briefs: *pushes some buttons and 3 life-sized glass-covered tubes, with smaller tubes attach to them, appear from the walls* Good, now, can you three please step inside these chambers I made especially for extrating blood? I knew one day these would be useful.
*The three saiyajins did as they were told, as soon as Vegita got in the last one, Dr. Briefs pulls a switch*
*Minutes later, the smaller tubes were filled with blood from their donnors*
Dr. Briefs: I have taken about 300 milliliters of the purest blood cells from each of your bodies, this should optimize the quality of blood it’s host receive. This amount will be more than each of the 3 teens need, but having more provides for contingencies. You can get out of the chambers now, and you should experience some disorientation.
*The three walk out, having trouble even standing straight*
Vegita: This had better work.
*At this point the Z-fighters begin to notice Dr. Briefs’s body becoming transparent, they all act schocked*
Bulma: Dad, *points to Dr. Briefs* What’s... happening .....to.... you?
Dr. Briefs: *observing himself* I was afraid this would happen. Bulma, quickly, tell Trunks to take the 3 tubes of blood, and power up the time machine. You must reconfigure the blood-transfer device so it would safely allow the transfer of blood of the saiyajins to the three teenagers. Ask Gohan to help. I don’t have much time left. Go!
Bulma: *crying* No dad, don’t go away, we still need you!
Dr. Briefs: Don’t worry about this. I am in no pain. But if you don’t hurry, we all might disappear.
*At his last words Dr. Briefs disappear completely*
Bulma: Got it Dad. Trunks! Go to the Time Machine chamber, and have it ready, you do know how to work it don’t you ?
Trunks: Hai! I still remember the emergency lessons I took from you. *Runs out of the room*
Bulma: Gohan, common! Like dad said, we had to reconfigure the machine!
*With that Bulma pushes a series of buttons, and a rectangular device shoots up from the ground.*
Gohan: Hai! Aunt Bulma! *Rushes to her aid* Let see, first we’ll have to analyze the genetic make up of the each of the blood types, and somehow make them adapt to the environments of it’s new host. Then.......
all the others: I guess we should just wait to see what happens
*2 hours later*
Trunks: The Machine is ready, I’ve done all the pre flight test, and it worked fine.
Bulma: Good. And we have the Transferor ready as well. Are you ready to fly this thing?
Trunks: As ready as I’ll ever be, mom, So tell me what I need.
Bulma: *turns to Yajirobee* Give me all the senzu you have.
Note: Senzu are those magic beans that when eaten, heals all a person’s physical pains, bruises, and restores a person’s energy completely
Yajirobee: *grumbles* Yeah whatever, they’re here. *Hands Bulma a small bag*
Bulma: *receives bag* Okay. Now we’re ready. *Hands the 3 tubes of the blood and the senzu to Trunks* Trunks, you know what to do with the senzu, as for the blood, simply have the person lie on the transferor, close the glass casing, put the blood containers here, facing this way, and push this button. The more detailed instructions are all here in this computer pad. *Hands Trunks the computer*
Trunks: Thanks mom.
Bulma: That computer also has information about that time period, look them up, they might be useful. And also they contain instructions for Ranma, Ryoga, and Akane. This should help them learn their powers quickly. Now, are you ready to go?
Trunks: Yeah mom. What will happen when I get back? What if I didn’t get there in time? What if they don’t listen to me?
Bulma: I don’t know for sure. Just improvise. If you, or they, were successful, then everyone should be here when you get back, or else you’ll be in a empty world, in which you will eventually disappear also.
*Trunks walk to the Time Machine chamber, finding everyone there waiting.*
Goku: Good Luck Trunks
Gohan: Yeah, I know you can do this.
Vejita: This is a job worthy of a Saiyajin
Goten: Trunks, Remember, we still have many battles between us. Don’t disappoint me.
Piccolo: Yeah, whatever. Grrrr. Good luck, kid
Kameshenin: I’m getting too old for this.
*Yajirobee, Yamcha, Tenshinhan just smiles at Trunks*
*Trunks gets on the Time Machine, and waves good bye to everybody, and does a thumbs up from the cock-pit*
Trunks: I won’t fail......
*with that, the time craft hovers into the air, and dissappears in a blinding flash of light*
