Part 3, Version 1.0 1-19-97
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!

******************************************************************************
******************************************************************************
*It is morning the next day, the sun was just creeping over the border of the horizon, and shines it’s rays on all parts of Tokyo...... Cut to the Tendos*
*Ranma lazily gets up, he stretches and yawns at the new day, beside him was Genma who was still snoozing*
Ranma: That was one heck of a dream I had last night. *Stands up*
*just then the door opens and we see Trunks standing by the door*
Trunks: Lets go Ranma, time is short, we must train right away.
Ranma: *groans* Aw man! You mean that’s wasn’t a dream? Can’t I at least get some breakfast?
Trunks: Fine, we’ll have breakfast, I haven’t eaten in days.
*Just then, Soun comes around the corner and spots Trunks*
Soun: *shouting* Who is this intruder?!
*Akane quickly arrives at the sound of his dad’s yelling*
Akane: Don’t you remember dad? His name is Trunks, he came last knight, said he was lost. He’s really good at martial arts. He promised to teach us some of his techniques in return for our hospitality. You told him to spend the night in the basement.
Soun: *cocks head* I did? Very well, I will allow him to stay with us until he finds a suitable home.
Trunks: *relieved a bit* Thank you so much Mr. Tendo, I hope I don’t disturb you and your family for too long......Now where is Ryoga?
Ranma: Shit, he probably go lost somewhere in the house, I gotta go find him before he tears a path through here *Jumps off*
*At breakfast*
Nabiki: I wonder what business opportunities I’ll have today. *Turns on TV*
TV reporter: ....on it’s way......In other news, some strange phenomenon has been occurring last night in Tokyo. It seems that around 9:30 PM, a large portion of Tokyo Bay erupted into a gigantic Tsunami. Lucky there were no boats near that area at the time. However, people near the scene was sure that they would die, but then just before the wave crashes against shore, a strange yellow blur surrounded the tsunami, and the water become calm again. Then just about an hour later, police arrived at Fuji Park, which was almost completely destroyed. Many trees have been roughly broken, and there’s even a large crater near the center of the park. As we speak the Tokyo police force are already investigating these events, believing possibly that they are linked in some way. We’ll have more updates........
Trunks: *whispering* No use, they’ll never find any traces of us. I’ve made sure of that.
*Ranma, Akane, and Ryoga just stayed as quite as possible during the report, shedding a few beads of sweat*
******************************************************************************
*Cut to an empty, rocky plain, with barely any trees and signs of life, *
Trunks: This place is perfect, we will start here!
Akane: *panting* Why did we have to go out here, can’t we just stay at the dojo?
Trunks: This open area is a good place to train. If we trained in the dojo, first of all it’ll be destroyed before you know it, and second, this way, nobody will get nosy of what happens here. You saw how fast last night’s events got to the news. We can’t let the people know what is really going on, or else there’ll be riots all over the country.
Ryoga: Suits me, I must have been here myself dozens of times.
Ranma: *points to an object on the rocky ground* Oh look Ryoga, I think there goes one of your canned foods.
Trunks: Let’s start. Akane, go ahead and attack me with all your force, and don't argue!
Akane: uhh, Hai!
*Akane lunges at Trunks, sending furious chain of punches and kicks at him. Trunks just dodges all her attempts, once in a while Trunks lets her strikes hit him, just to see how much power she has. Then Trunks starts the offensive, using only a tiny fraction of his strength and speed. Akane barely manages to dodge his attacks, and is forced to back up*
Ranma: *noticing Akane being pressed back, then shouts to her* Common Akane, show him your tomboy strength!
Akane: *gets angry at Ranma’s remark* Ranma no baka! *Her punches increases in speed and strength, as she takes her anger out on Trunks*
Trunks: *noting the increase in difficulty of his defense* Good, Akane. Your anger is a vital element in becoming a Super Saiya.....*POW, while Trunks was talking, Akane sends a powerful uppercut into his jaws, which staggers him a little*
Akane: *her hand turns red* Ow ow, your skin is tougher than steel.
Trunks: *feeling his chin* Akane, That last punch was remarkable. That uppercut would have sent any normal human to the moon. When you learn to control your anger, you’ll be a great fighter.
Ranma: *laughing* Akane, see, if I didn’t tease you, you would have lost a while back.
Akane: Baka.....*somewhere in her tone lies a slight indication of gratitude*
Trunks: Ryoga, now it’s your turn.
Ryoga: I’m ready, here I come.
*Ryoga starts his attack with a flying kick at Trunks, which Trunks easily parries, and flips Ryoga to the air. Then Ryoga takes out a bunch of his infinitely many head bands and throws them at Trunks, who doesn’t want his clothes to be torn, and avoids the projectiles. Ryoga lands and does a Bakusai Tenketsu at Trunk’s feet. Trunks leap clear of the flying rubble, and goes into attack mode. He comes at Ryoga with standard punches, which Ryoga blocks. Ryoga tries to sweep Trunks, but trunks merely stops the sweep with his own foot and sends a elbow into Ryoga.
Ryoga: Ughhh! No, I gotta do better. I can’t be humiliated in front of Ranma. *He jumps back, holding his ribs* Shishi Hokodan!
Trunks: A chi-attack, this should be interesting. *He stands there and absorbs the entire force of the lion bullet* A little mild though.
Ryoga: Why you!
*Ryoga charges Trunks again, with more fury than before. Trunks gets into a defense stance
Ryoga: {I can’t appear weak in front of Akane, and I WONT be humiliated in front of Ranma} ARRRRhhhhh!!!! FULL SHISHI HOKODAN!
Trunks: *getting crushed downward by the full force of the Roaring Lion Bullet* {I can’t believe people can do that at this time period. This must be the equivalent of a basic kamehame-ha} *stands up* Ryoga, I’m surprise you are that strong. I really didn’t expect this. This will make it easier to train you.
Ryoga: Kuso! That was my best attack, and it barely affected you.
Trunks: With practice you can become stronger. Now Ranma, let see what you can do.
Ranma: {This is one guy I can’t beat, but I still try my best} OK, I’m prepared, attack me.
Trunks: *surprised* Alright, if you want. *Expecting Ranma to be better than the others, he raises his power and speed a little and charges at Ranma with a punch*
*Trunks’s punch seem to connect with Ranma’s head, but actually Ranma ducked so fast that he created an after image of himself. While Trunks was sailing by, Ranma pulls his legs up from underneath Trunks and launches him into a huge rock, with amplified speed. Trunks, surprised, destroys the rock and lands on his feet*
Trunks: *smiles* Impressive, I see that I can afford to use even more force.
*Once again Trunks charges, but this time, instead of going in a linear path, Trunks goes in a zig zag. Ranma keeps a sharp eye on Trunks, and jumps up right before Trunks could touch him. But Trunks saw Ranma was going up, and sends a feet to help Ranma go up faster. Ranma quickly recovers from this and....*
Ranma: Mouto Takabishya! *Sends a tiger blast directly in front of Trunks, creating a shield of rubble* {hope this blinds him enough} *charges Trunks* KACHUU-TENSHIN-AMAGURIKEN!!!!
Trunks: Shit! *The dust does affect him a little, as he blocks any punch he can, but once in a while a punch does go through. None of Ranma’s punches was wasted by hitting thin air* {hmmm. Nice tactic, I though he was going to hit me directly with the Chi blast, and his speed is incredible, I had to bring myself up to normal power just to block his punches, and even then some of them got through} Time to get serious!
*Trunks charges Ranma with blinding speed. Ranma, sensing that now Trunks is finally out putting some battle heat, dodges Trunks’s strikes and he lures him into a spiral. Trunks had no idea of what Ranma is doing, and ups his battle energy. Ranma manages to dodge or parry most of Trunks’s strikes. As they approach the center of the spiral*
Ranma: Go mighty Dragon! HIRYUU-SHOUTENHA!!!
*Ranma lunges a arm upward, and Trunks is instantly blasted in the face, and is sent upward, surrounded by a crushing tornado*
Trunks: *lands from the tornado, with a few scratches on his face, and jacket torn* Shit! I can’t believe it, my favorite jacket!
Ranma: How was that?
Trunks: Ranma, you certainly live up to your reputation. I didn’t think anybody could do that to me. That tornado did a number on me. Tell me, would that have been effective if I had not tried so hard to attack you?
Ranma: No, it needs the energy from my opponents. The harder you try to attack me, the harder you get hit back.
Trunks: This “Rising Dragon Ascension” is very interesting.......It had the force of the kamehame Ha I threw yesterday.
Akane: So now what?
Trunks: During this little test, I’ve analyze your powers, your strengths, and weaknesses. Akane, if learn to control your anger, you could probably be the first one to turn into Super Saiyajin. Your standard attacks are generally weaker than Ryoga and Ranma, but with practice, they’ll improve. Ryoga, your punches are very strong, but they don’t have speed. You obviously have no trouble managing your chi energy. Becoming Super Saiyajin should be no problem for you either. Ranma, your skills are very impressive. Your speed still amazes me, but your punches are not as strong as Ryoga’s. You also seem to have mastered your chi, the next step should be no problem. Although you don’t seem to have much anger, but you do have discipline. *Turns to the three in general* Turning into Super Saiyajin requires both rage and discipline. Transforming for the first time is gonna be tough, but after that, it’ll get easier each time.
Ranma: So you mean that I’ll have to get as bad tempered as Akane and Ryoga to do this?
Akane: I don’t have a bad temper!!!
Trunks: We’ll just wait to see what happens. In the mean time, all of you must learn to levitate and fly in the air.
Akane Ranma Ryoga: What!?
Trunks: It’s not as hard as you think. All you have to do is manipulate your chi to a certain degree. To do this you have to concentrate. Ranma and Ryoga, you already discovered you chi, so the first step is no prob. Akane, you might need some time for this. Now, can you feel it?
Akane: I...think..I got it.....
Trunks: Okay, now, just as you would release the chi to form a projectile, keep the chi stored inside your body. And just as you would let the projectile fly into the air, force your body to levitate above the ground.
*At this point, Ranma is hovering a few feet above ground, the air around him is circulating at a fast rate, causing his clothes and hair to flap gently. Ryoga is struggling at about 1 ft above ground, and Akane is tiptoeing, grinding her teeth and appearing to concentrate real hard*
Ranma: Wow, I can’t believe I can do this, this is fun.
Ryoga: I think I might get airsick.....
Akane: *eyes shut tightly, teeth still grinding* Uggggghhhhhhhhhh...........
Trunks: Akane, almost there!
*Akane manages to get about 3 inches off the ground*
Akane: Yata! *Instantly she falls back to earth* Damn!
Trunks: We’ll just do this the whole day and see what developes.
*After a few more hours of continuous practice, Ranma was able to glide around the air, and was doing a couple of figure 8s. Ryoga was also able to this, but it appears that it’s more demanding for him than Ranma. Akane was able to just hover a few feet above the ground*
Trunks: Ok, I think that’s enough levitating for one day, we’ll practice again tomorrow. After we have some lunch, we’ll move onto chi detection.
Ranma: What, I though we already detected our chi.
Trunks: You’ve detected your own chi, but now you need to learn to detect the chi of others. You may not know it, but all of you can already do this on a small scale. When someone sneaks attacks you, don’t you already know beforehand that there’s danger?
Ranma: Yeah, I could do that. I can sense the bad-intentions.
Ryoga: So can I.
Akane: .....I guess, but my sense isn’t as good as theirs.
Trunks: Yeah, what you are sensing is actually the chi of others. So far you can only detect bad chi, or dangerous chi. With practice you’ll be able to sense all types of chi’s, and can tell who a person is by their chi. You can also tell that person’s personality, either good, evil, etc. Everyone has their own chi signature, no two persons can have the exact same chi.
Ranma: ...hmm, this might be useful, but how can we practice this.
Trunks: There isn’t much to do to train that, you will just have to develop it on your own. I suggest a couple of surprise attacks on each other, and see if you can prepare for the attack.
*A few more hours later, as the sun is setting*
Akane: It’s getting late, we should get back home.
Trunks: I guess we should call it a day. I would say it has been pretty productive.
Ryoga: I know the way back to the city, follow me!
Ranma: *looks at Ryoga suspiciously* Hold it Ryoga, I don’t feel like touring the world today. Trunks, you know the way back, don’t you?
Trunks: *looks puzzled* Actually, I’ve only been here for 2 days, so I don’t recognize everything yet.
*Our three heroes face faults*
Trunks: Don’t panic, I’ll find it in a jiffy.
*With that, Trunks takes off into the sky, and is back in a few minutes*
Trunks: It’s that way!
*The three breaths a sigh of relief*
******************************************************************************
*back to the Tendos, where Soun and Genma was playing a friendly game of shogi*
Soun: I wonder where they are, youngsters these days. *Turns his attention back to the board, where Genma just took one of his peices* Eyah! How did that happen!?
Genma: I’m sure they’ll be fine, after all, my son is with them. You should pay more attention to your moves Tendo.
*Just then the main gate burst open, and a ragged bunch of teens enter the yard*
Akane: *sweating and panting, covered with dust and dirt* That was a monster of a trip!
Ryoga: *appearing tired and messy* Finally we made it!
Ranma: That was a tough trip.
Trunks: You’ll have to get used to rough conditions or else you’ll never be effective fighters.
Soun: *turns around to greet the group* Where have you four been all day?
*Genma takes this opportunity to make a extra move on the board. When Soun directs his attention back to the game, his eyes bulge out at the position of pieces on the board*
Ranma: We’ve been training. You know, it’s so hot right now that I wouldn’t mind some cold water.
Akane: *grins* If you say so Ranma. *Takes a bucket of cold water out of the pond and splashes Ranma*
Ranma-Chan: *dripping water*......
*now it’s Trunks’ turn to face fault, he stares at Ranma-Chan incredulously*
Trunks: What the!? Ranma, you turned into a girl!
Ranma-Chan: Oh, did I forget to tell you?
Trunks: Man, the computer isn’t kidding when they say strange things happen in this part of town.
Ranma: if you think this is incredible, watch this! *Promptly splashes Genma*
Genma-Panda: *acting like nothing happened, and moves another piece on the board* growf.
Trunks: *eyes bulging* You mean people at this time period can turn into something else?
Ranma: *grins evily* Ryoga, why don’t you tell Trunks about Jusenkyou?
Ryoga: *getting nervous and tenses up* Wh...Why should I know about Jusenkyo, I’ve only cross that place once.
*At this point Soun purposely slams on the shogi board, making pieces fly in all directions*
Soun: *with forced tears coming out of his eyes* Oh it’s a tragic story. There’s this place in China called Jusenkyo, and...........
*Genma-panda looks disbelieving at the massacred board*
Genma-panda: *sign* You did that on purpose, and just when you were losing!
*During the next hour, the Ranma, Ryoga, Akane, and Trunks have each taken baths and are in fresh clothes. Trunks makes a new set of outfit from a capsule. All four them are on the yard, talking about upcoming events.*
Akane: Trunks, so tell us about this future you came from.
Trunks: It’s not a bad place, just that once in a while some evil ones come and try to destroy the Earth. The Z fighters were always there to stop these monsters.
Ranma: Are all the Z fighters Saiyajins?
Trunks: hehe, no, some are from Earth, such as, Tenshinhan, Kuririn and Yamcha.
Ryoga: Are they powerful too?
Trunks: For humans definitely, but of course saiyajins are much more powerful.
Ryoga: Just how powerful are they?
Trunks: Well let see, before they met up with Son Gokou, I would say they were as powerful as you are now.
*Just then, there is a knocking at the main gate, Ranma suspiciously opens up the gate, and....*
Ukyou: Hi Ran-chan! *Was about to hug Ranma, but notices Akane’s presence*
Ranma: Utchan, hi! What brings you here?
Ukyou: To bring over some Okonomiyaki, of course! You haven’t been to Utchan’s in a while now, what been keeping you busy? *Hands Ranma some wrapped Okonomiyaki*
Ranma: *accepts the food* Thanks Utchan! I’ve spent the day training.
Ukyou: Oh? Training for what?
Ranma: *sweat drops* Ugh, well you know how I always want to get better in fighting, just in case new enemies appear.
*Just the Akane interrupts*
Akane: Ranma! Baka! Ukyou, we just trained because we had nothing to do over the break. *Then whispers to Ranma* You don’t want the whole world to know what’s going on, do you?
Ukyou: I see *smiles*, well I want to get better at fighting myself, so could I train with you guys? Please?
Ranma: Utchan, umm, I don’t know...
Trunks: Actually that’s not a bad idea...
Ukyou: *turns to Trunks* And you are....
Trunks: Trunks, you can call me Trunks.
Ukyou: And you can call me Ukyou. Please ta meet ya!
*Just then Ukyou takes out some razor sharp spatulas ant throws it at Trunks. Trunks barely saw them coming, and avoids the cooking utensils. Then Ukyou charges Trunks, swinging her huge metal spatula. Trunks avoids the slices, and decides to pay back Ukyou. Ukyou just throws powder at Trunks’s face, and continues her assault, until Trunks finally snatches away her spatula*
*Ranma, Akane, Ryoga just stare dumfounded, not knowing what Ukyou is doing*
Trunks: I think that’s enough.
Ukyou: *smiling* So what do you think?
Trunks: hmm, you are very tricky.......{This girl is better than Akane, I guess the computer messed up somehow, I suspect this girl knows something......} Thanks for the warm greeting Ukyou.
Ukyou: Ok, I’ll be back first thing in the morning to practice with you guys, Ja ne!
*With that Ukyou walks out of the yard, and heads for her restaurant.
Akane: Well that was certainly strange!
***********************************************************************
*Night time, The family was watching the news*
News reporter: It seems that a chain of unexplainable events have been happening all over Japan and China. Explosions have been happening in Nekronron, China, and also near a mysterious floating island.....*click*
Ranma: Trunks! You think that THEY did this?
Trunks: Possibly, no, definitely! Dr. Gero must be sending his spy bots all over the world, searching out anyone that could pose a threat to his plans.
Akane: We have to talk to Shinosuke, Kirin and Toma! They have to know what’s been happening.
Ranma: And Pantyhose Tarou, and Herb, and Ryu (manga vol 28). They are all possible targets.
Trunks: In that case we must group with these fighters now! They don’t stand a chance alone against Dr. Gero’s real attack.
Ranma: But how can you find them tonight?
Trunks: Simple, by chi detection, if the fighters you described are the strongest in the world, then I should easily pick their chi-signatures out. I must go now, before anymore of them gets attacked. I’ll be back by tomorrow morning if things go smoothly.
Ranma: Trunks, wait, they probably won’t be quick to trust you. If you meet Shinosuke, or Kirin, or Toma, tell them that Akane asks them to come. And when you meet Pantyhose Tarou, tell him that Hopposai is willing to change his name. When you meet herb, tell him I got some Nannichuan water that I’m willing to share with him. When you meet Ryu, tell him that I challenge him again, and if he defeats me, he can once again use the Saotome Forbidden Moves. Got that? Trunks?
Trunks: Got it Ranma. I’m off! *Flies off into the horizon*
Ryoga: *quitely* Just great, a reunion of Ranma’s enemies.........
Ranma: Now we just wait.....
