unnamed challenge/fic idea.

[WG_Writer]

I originally wrote this intending on doing a challenge. Take this universe and run with it idea. At the moment I am not really planning to do that but its an idea. first here is the Universe, my plot idea for a story will be below it.

Animes contained
Ranma
Tenchi Muyo (OVAs)
Sailor Moon
Nuku Nuku (unspecific)
Nanoha
How they relate to each other
Nuku Nuku lives in Nerima and is considered part of the NWC, she sees Ranma as a playmate and same with Shampoo, Shampoo finds her usually annoying but sometimes helpful, Mousse occasionally glomps Nuku Nuku thinking she is Shampoo, Shampoo had trained her to think that means Mousse wants to play, which Nuku Nuku does try, cat, and bird… she would never hurt Mousse, but he has yet to figure that out. To the rest of the NWC she is simply there and they rarely interact, unless something brings her to Furinkan.
Tenchi is related to Ranma via their grand parents, Nodoka is sister to Nobuyuki. This really explains certain traits both share. Tenchi and Ranma get along well, and Ranma met Azusa once, which ended up in a fight and Azusa sulking for a bit. Ranma is aware of Jurai, yet shrugs it off saying, “Yer aliens, so what, ain’t like your trying to marry me off or nothin’.” The afore mentioned fight left Azusa battered, and after he recovered he drug Tenchi and Yosho off for training, he would have drug Ranma off too, but when Washu had him in the lab studying the curse he decided to not walk into the bear’s den. Washu never figured out how the curse worked, and after several tries to mess with the water attraction part, came to the decision that Jusenkyo was evil and science wasn’t ready for it. Ryoko never stopped teasing her for that. Misaki and Funaho secretly think that Sasami and Ranma would make a nice couple, when she finally grows past her youthful body. At present they are appearently doing nothing, but Misaki did tell Seto about the idea and the problem with Ranma’s multiple engagments. Seto is still thinking of what to do.
Sailor Moon is a distant relation to Ranma on his father’s side, specifically it was his grandmother that was sister to Usagi’s maternal grandmother. Although Usagi’s mother was disowned by the family for marrying out of love instead of the arranged marrage they planned, ironically to the cousin of the intended.
Sailor Uranus and Sailor Jupiter both encountered Ranma in school, for Makoto it was while they were stationary for two years, she had a minor crush on him but never worked up the courage to ask him out. Uranus on the other hand did, but Ranma thought she was a guy, as did Genma. This caused Genma to up and move suddenly when he thought that this “Guy” was going to make Ranma gay. After the re-encountered each other Haruka forgave Ranma, especially after hearing some of Ranma’s tales of his travel, she still teases him though. This is especially ironic considering Ranma’s curse.
Nanoha and her friends were caught attacking a monster from one of the Sailor Senshi’s enemies and she was ill prepared, especially the rest of the department. It was later discovered that Time-Space Administration Bureau had record of the Moon Kingdom and by their laws had to recognize Usagi as the rightful ruler of the planet, a real shock to Nanoha. Time-Space Administration Bureau has to co-ordinate all their efforts through Sailor Pluto after that, under instruction by Usagi. Nanoha is a year older then Usagi, and is somewhat annoyed that the true ruler of the earth is the sometimes airhead. Chrono is fully respectful of her, regardless what happens; he knows the chain of command and respects it.
Ranma is somewhat aware of what the others get involved in, but doesn’t get involved himself. Generally whenever something happens he simply doesn’t have the ability to “drop everything and disappear” to help his friends/extended family. Considering most of his friends are girls does complicate matters, and he only truly begins to understand what they are involved in after the failed wedding. He has however learned from the Saffron fight that at times he will need help. As such he developed a kind of distress signal that he can setup and let others know he needs help, he never needed to use it, and it mostly is just a flashly ki blast into the air, like a firework, but any ki adapts or anyone observant enough will sense it or see it.
He and Akane do admit feelings for each other, but are unsure if its true love or if its something manufactured by the parents. He denies any accusations that they are fiancées too, but given the amount people listen to him it’s mostly meaningless. One thing that has come up which put a strain on the relationship is the possibility that Ranma may have an extended life span, his mother should be in her 40s but only looks like her late 20s when she is not going for her usual traditional look. There is also the slowed ageing that most martial artists seem to undergo. Combining the two would mean that he would not apparently age while she does, leading a point which she could eventually get mistaken for an aunt of his or even a grandmother, which is something neither wants. This is also without taking him getting a Tree ship, with one, he may never age during her life time.
Only Ranma is aware of the other groups, the rest of the NWC carries on normally, with the exception of the occasional visit by the android cat girl.
Washu theorizes and fully believes Ranma has a Jurian Battle form as his mother probably does, but due to his intense training in earth styles and ki usage his Jurian form would probably be a little weaker then his normal form, or forms depending on the curse, and what its effect on the jurian form is unknown. She suspects that while his human form is stronger he will have a female Jurian form, if he did obtain the Jurian form and trained its powers to the point it supersedes his human potential then he might only have a male Jurian form. His situation is unique and she really hopes that he does one day learn to call that power forth.
Usagi and Tenchi have met twice, they are both royalty and find it ironic that despite that and both being blood relatives to Ranma that he isn’t. Tenchi knows of the Moon Kingdom, mostly since Jurai was closely tied to them. It was only the fact the fall took merely hours that prevented help, it was just too sudden. Jurai keeps as much out of Sol Space as they can, and do catch most idiots trying to make a quick buck of the “Primitive Earthlings” however most of these are not true threats, and Earth is to far from Jurai to have much protection. Usagi and Mihoshi also get along well, however, the other Senshi feel that she makes Usagi look good, Mercury said once to Venus, “If she were the Moon Princess, Chibi-Usa would have come back to stop Crystal Tokyo the first time.” The Outers generally dislike the air headed blond, until Uranus lost in a duel against her. The fight was on the far side of the moon and Mihoshi was in a space suit, Uranus charged and then stopped abruptly as Mihoshi’s spaceship teleported her up and locked all weapons on Uranus. Moon stepped in and told Uranus she lost the fight because she forgot that the ship was there. The Outers work with Mihoshi only out of necessity.
Jurai recognizes Usagi as the ruler of the earth as well, especially given that the Moon kingdom was close the Jurian Government, i.e. Funaho. Funaho was present at a number of Princess Serenity’s birthday parties, however was not attending the one that the Moon Kingdom fell during due to political problems that required her attention.

The Idea I was having was to start with Ranma on an errand in Juuban and passing near a minor Sailor Senshi battle, imply that the senshi are aware of him and elude to the background histories.
After that have Ranma arrive at the Misaki shrine (again on an errand, this one is for his mother) and he is present just as the emperesses arrive for the first time, and run half of this part from ranma's perspective, part from the queens.
run a few more "chance encounters" either way, and (this part I have not thought out) either get Ranma a tree ship or become a senshi of one of Jurai's moons. (I plan on making Tenchi a kamen type for the planet Jurai (in otherwords a male sailor senshi))
---
The big problem that I am having more then anything else at the moment is the why. new enemy, sure no problem, threat to Jurai too, why not. thats easy, I just am trying to come up with a semi original enemy that would be a threat to both. I guess I could set it in the Stars Arc of Sailor Moon, and rewrite it heavily, and set it post Tenchi cannon. that would make Jurai a big target for Galaxia, all thoes star crystals, plus what ever else she can find. Maybe Tsunami "suggests" awakening the Jurian senshi team. it could be fun, but I can't really see it going to far, too many characters at that point.
Any way it goes it we would see some characters not get any screen time or lines. this plot would probably leave Nuku nuku and Nanoha out in the cold as well.

[EPJ_III]

Nice idea, but isn't Nobuyki the husband of Yosho's daughter meaning Ranma would have no Juraian blood?

[P.H. Wise]

Masaki, not Misaki.
Misaki is the name of the Juraian emperor's second wife. *Masaki* is Tenchi's family name. Also, it appears that you have a totally unnecessary crossover going on here - NukuNuku is completely extraneous to the plot as written, and it doesn't appear that there is any point in including her at all.

[camk4evr]

Yes but Nobuyuki is also a descendent of Yosho. There are a number of people who live around the shrine that are Yosho's descendents and, when they reach a certain age, they are told about this because they live longer than earthlings (Tenchi's sister, Tenyo, is in her sixties and looks much younger) and many take the chance to go to space.
Actually, Warg, the 'extended lifespan' wouldn't be a problem. Even if Akane doesn't bond to a tree it's possible for her to have an extended lifespan if she's given body enhancement (like Seina) which is a common practice in the Galactic Union. While that wouldn't normally be an option for her, Ranma, being a member of the Jurai royal family, should have more than enough pull for her to get it (hell Washu might do it to her for a chance to get another test subject or just for kicks).

[TerraEpon]

Nuku Nuku lives in Nerima and is considered part of the NWC, she sees Ranma as a playmate and same with Shampoo, Shampoo finds her usually annoying but sometimes helpful, Mousse occasionally glomps Nuku Nuku thinking she is Shampoo, Shampoo had trained her to think that means Mousse wants to play, which Nuku Nuku does try, cat, and bird… she would never hurt Mousse, but he has yet to figure that out. To the rest of the NWC she is simply there and they rarely interact, unless something brings her to Furinkan.

I've always enjoyed the idea of combining the two series that way (and have seen one or two) as they are similar in dynamics, and Nuku-Nuku does in fact live in Nerima (at least in the original OVA, which I assume this is based on). Just a story about that could be fun...

Hmm... why not have the threat be some Kain level entity that the Nanoha bunch knows about and may have been dealt with by them in the past. Heck perhaps even have Kain somehow flow into the ova even though I think he was from the Univers continuity. Nukunuku would sadly be left by the wayside it seems like and she is always too funny to just leave behind. I have a question, does Ryoga know any of these other groups? I mean with the way he gets around, though I suppose that would be cliche.

Ryoga like most NWC would have heard of the Sailor Senshi, but think them urban myths. if he did see them the question is would he make the connection? I doubt it.
A Kain level threat... Sailor Chaos possessed Kain and used tech he got after wrecking one of the Nanoha bunch's ships to jump worlds.
I think I am going to pla it up that during the Sailor Galaxia mess Jurai was able to hold her minions off. and that is why the sudden desire for Sailor Senshi (or as close as they can get in Tenchi's case)
perhaps have Nuku Nuku tag along and washu to... upgrade her.

[Draconis Stelanaris]

Ummm, Nuku Nuku in the hands of Washu...
Why do I want to run away? Any way Ryoga being clueless sound great, and it may be even funnier if he did run into the groups and just did not take note.

[FOG3]

NK-1124 needs an upgrade? <.< >.>
Uh, if she needs an upgrade your bog standard Ranma 1/2 character is going to need a fricking Mol unit to not become the red stain that used to be someone. We're not even talking the same ballgame of invulnerability protection here. Saffron couldn't do anymore then Eimi (aka SNK-98) to her ie jack,as he's batting a whole heck of a lot lower in all categories. When Eimi overheats, but doesn't explode, this is the result. Note the two are buried in that big crater and were entangled in each other when that happened.:

Saffron was able to fire off _one_ beam that took off the mountain's top, and continue fighting for a little bit, before getting nailed and having to revert to child mode because he was out of power. He's like a wimpy Guyver that can only fire a low intesity Megasmasher once, and is lacking all the support equipment except the gravity orb which is stuck in low intensity mode. There's just no comparison between the two from straight canon standpoint.
If Ranma is even theoretically viable, NK-1124 is fine as is. Especially seems as how not only is Ranma not boosted according to the Op, and can't access the power of his Jurai heritage, but apparently the blood's thin enough he'd just be a Jurainian mook if he could.

[Ordieth117]

Ryoga like most NWC would have heard of the Sailor Senshi, but think them urban myths. if he did see them the question is would he make the connection? I doubt it.

The sounds of explosions, screams, and mass combat were barely enough to distract Ryoga from his attempts at reading a map. The map was of Moscow, written in Tagalog, held upside down, and stained from food. But that didn't stop Ryoga.
"Why do these darned Paris martial artists have such stupid attacks that take so long?" He hears another boom and his eyes get wide. "Pretty powerful attacks anyway, I wonder if I could do that. " He focuses past the smoke a little more. "Those don't look like any fighting outfits I've ever seen." Takes a closer look. The sight of silky legs a mile long, shiny hair, and hugged bosoms assaults Rygoa's defenseless mind. He quickly closes his eys, grabs his nose, and runs away with all possible speed; not even noticing the walls, cars, and national monuments in the way. "Stupid French, put some clothes on!"

[Tovath]

Or how about him asking a yoma for directions while the senshi are fighting it

[crystlshake]

Or how about him asking a yoma for directions while the senshi are fighting it

That kind of scene would be especially potent if he uses the 'strong' approach- like he did when he grabbed the guy in front of Furinkan.
The youma braces for impact from the lethal attack (moon) only to find itself saved unexpectedly. "Do you know where the Tendo dojo is?" it replies only with its name, somewhat stunned (along with its attackers). Ryoga gets frustrated by its responses (either because he cant understand them or he does for some inexplicable reason but the youma doesnt know or is bad mouthing him) and either incapacitates or throws it- somehow resutling in its demise. half imbeded in concrete makes monsters easy targets. Or he could think it some publicity stunt thing too.

[Mudge T. Otter]

Ranma is aware of Jurai, yet shrugs it off saying, “Yer aliens, so what, ain’t like your trying to marry me off or nothin’.”

In a spaceship approaching Earth, Lady Seto, the Devil Princess of Jurai sneezes and wonders why she feels like being challenged.
