I want to thank everyone who had replied to this story when I was still trying to come up with a good plot. I think I got it down XDD. Well, I hope this story works out, like I said before this is my first Ranma ½ fanfic.
Hmm…well guess I should go over a few things. Ben and Gwen are going to be older at least 14 and there may be some slight OCC since I may mess up the personalities but I'll try to get them as close as possible. So anyway onwards with the prologue oh and Ben is going to read the disclaimer. hands Ben the script
Ben: holding up script AzureZephyr doesn't own Ben10 or Ranma ½ in any way. Flames will be used as fuel for Heatblast. flash of green light and Heatblast appears burning the script
AzureZephyr:……..Ben…that was my only copy and I needed that for the next chapter…
Ben: Ehehe whoops
AzureZephyr: T x T
A lone ship in another galaxy floated quietly, at least that's how it was on the outside, on the inside though a large menacing figure was doing a lot of shouting. His blood red eyes narrowed as he glared at the screen in front of him. Large tubes and wires were connected to his arms and seemed to pulse as each second passed by as did his grip on the armrest of his seat.
"Where is that report from that blasted SCIENTIST?" the figure growled looking around at the minions surrounded the various other equipment in the control room.
"S-solider number 265 has gone to check on him lord Vilgax." One of them replied.
"He better get here soon if he wishes to remain ON the ship for delaying me on the experiment." Vilgax snarled leaning back into his chair.
The other minions looked at each other and were glad that they weren't in the soldier's shoes at the moment.
"NYX!!!" a deep voice shouted that echoed throughout the hollow ship. A figure garbed in a long white scientist coat suddenly stiffened as he turned his head and looked towards the hard metal doors. Two giant golden feathered wings were folded behind the alien as he turned his head and a feathered head turned towards the door as gold orbs stared at the armored guard stomping through.
"Must you be so loud?" sighed Nyx as he rubbed the bridge above his beak. "this ship is large and hollow enough that I could hear you shouting from three corridors over."
"Lord Vilgax wants a report on the process of the project." The guard growled at the bird-like alien. The yellow orbs narrowed angrily.
"It's still unstable. Tell your Lord Vilgax that until I sustain the device's energy it won't be of any use to him unless he plans to blow himself up." Ark snapped back.
"You better watch your mouth birdie, don't forget about what Lord Vilgax can DO not only to you." Sneered the guard as he turned to walk out of the room. He was muttering under his breath and was about to open the doors, but he got a little help from Nyx as he opened his break and a loud screech erupted, the force of the sonic attack slamming into the guard and threw him into a metal wall as the doors closed slammed shut.
Breathing heavily, the alien sighed as he slumped down. Taking out a pendent underneath his coat he opened it and a hologram of him and two other people appeared, making Nyx stare longingly at it.
"Zack…Aria …" he whispered sadly. Growling at himself he quickly stood up and slammed his fists into the controls in front of him making him drop the pendent and slightly dent the machinery.
"Damn that Vilgax!! Why…why the hell did it have to be me and my family!?" he said to himself. "if I had never taken that disc that Myaxx had tried to get rid of, would my family and home planet be safe?"
FlashBack
"Myaxx? What are you doing with Sir Azmuth's notes?" Nyx asked as he entered a room with an alien similar to Vilgax was standing trying to hide something.
"Nyx!?" the green alien replied turning around quickly as her back hit the tables behind her, scattering papers everywhere. "What the hell are you doing here!? Didn't Azmuth send you home already?" Myaxx replied.
The humanoid griffin raised a feather eyebrow and shook his head. "Sir Azmuth wanted me to check his lab before he moved. You still haven't answered my question Myaxx." He replied.
"Nothing…I just finished putting something together. I'll go see what the shrimp wants." The female alien muttered making Nyx sigh.
"You know, maybe its how you address Sir Azmuth that he refuses to give you credit Myaxx." Nyx stated as Myaxx just threw the griffin a look.
"He wouldn't give me credit even if I DID respect him." She grumbled as Nyx moved to the side to allow the bigger alien to pass him.
Grinning a bit to himself, Nyx couldn't help but be amused by how Sir Azmuth's and his assistant argue over almost every little thing with the project. Moving towards the tables with papers scattered among them, he set to work on putting them away in order. His fingers brushed some papers aside, something small and circular rolled from the table onto the floor, catching his attention.
"A mini disc?" he said to himself picking it up.
He looked it over and it was small enough for the galvan scientist to hold under his arm. "I'll just hold this for Sir Azmuth." Sighed Nyx as he opened his pendent and placed the mini disc there.
End of Flashback
He had found out later what exactly what was on the mini disc…they were the blueprints and detailed notes on everything someone would need to know about the omnitrix. Nyx had discovered it by accident when the mini disc had somehow melded with the holographic programming of the picture of his family, so he was the only one who could get to the plans. It had taken a drastic attack on his home and capturing of his family to bring him onto the ship and forced to make a second omnitrix.
Looking at the slight dent and crackling of electricity in the machinery he picked up his pendent and pocketed it as he walked over to take a look at the machine. "At least there isn't any permanent damage." He said to himself as he pressed a few buttons and a large tube appeared holding a single device floating inside. Imputing a code, a large diagram of the device showed on a second screen, showing Nyx that everything was in the green.
"Everything looks stable enough, but I rather put off giving this thing to Vilgax anytime soon." The griffin muttered looking around carefully for anyone approaching the laboratory. Remembering something, Nyx plucked a feather from one of his wings and dropped it into a slot on the machine. He looked up and saw his feather entering the tube and soon was absorbed into the omnitrix.
:: Scanning…scanning….scanning complete…Planet Scythia: inhabitant Valeth, Nyx DNA synchronization complete::
"There, now my species have been added to the list." Nyx said closing the panel. All of a sudden, the screen that was displaying the omnitrix's statistics started going static.
"Damn…maybe I hit it harder then I thought." He muttered to himself as he removed one of the panels and tried rewiring it to get the statistics back. After a few attempts he heard the static gone he stepped back and was about to go back to work until he heard a familiar voice coming from the other screen.
"We will NOT give into your demands you monster. "An elderly looking alien similar to Nyx stated scowling.
"Commander Ark!?" Nyx shouted as he stared at the other griffin alien. Nyx stared in disbelief as the screen showed that it was indeed the commander of his race's defenses along with the leader and council behind him.
"We will not allow you to deprive our planet of its natural resources to make weapons for your plans." The leader stated stepping up next to Commander Ark, in all her glory, wearing the emblem and crown of her people.
"A…Aria…." Nyx whispered as he stared at his beloved defying the alien that had captured him.
If Vilgax mouth was showing, he would be smirking at the two in front of the screen.
"You seem to forget Lady Aria of the captive I have on my ship." Sneered Vilgax. If anything Aria was now the one that was smirking.
"My husband…would rather give his LIFE then be used in a bargain! We both know of our duties and loyalties to our home and are willing to DIE with them. Holding him against me is not going to deter me Vilgax!" she stated glaring coldly.
Vilgax let out an annoyed growl.
"Are you certain of that Lady Aria? What if he decides to turn coward and follow me to protect his beloved wife." The powerful alien stated.
"Nyx will NEVER allow that to happen!! He would protect our race by dying honorable then allow you to control him." Aria stated her hands clenching at her side. Vilgax let out an angry snarl and glared at the leader in front of him.
"So be it, his DEMISE will be on you!!" he shouted slamming his fist on the button for the transmitter cutting off the connection, but not before the people on the other side heard the last part. "GET ME NYX NOW SO I CAN MAKE AN EXAMPLE OF HIM!!"
Aria fell to her knees as tears escaped her eyes. General Ark wrapped an arm around her shoulders as the council looked at each other discussing quietly with each other.
"Nyx…please please be safe…" she whispered. "don't let Vilgax get the omnitrix nor you…"
Nyx on the other hand had seen what had transpired between his people and Vilgax just as the bigger alien destroyed the communicator. He gripped his chest painfully as he stared at the blank screen. He was broken out of his thoughts when he heard what Vilgax was planning to do.
"Don't worry Aria, I promise I won't let him get the omnitrix…" he whispered to himself as he rewired his panel quickly. He could hear the foot soldier's stomping down the empty corridors heading towards his lab. "He may have kept me here for months on end, but that doesn't mean I don't have a few tricks left." He muttered and with that, Nyx pressed a few buttons and entering a code. The automatic doors slammed shut and there was a distinct sound of the doors locking from the inside just as the soldiers appeared at the entrance.
"NYX!! You stupid bird open this door right now!! Lord Vilgax would like a word with you!"
"Try the code you fool!!" the head guard shouted. Keys were being pressed but it wouldn't accept the entry code from the guards.
"Damn scientist changed the password!!"
Ignoring them and the pounding they were doing on the door he went back to the panel and entered a series of algorithms that only he would know. He turned quickly to the door and saw small dents started to appear.
'Damn they started using their weapons…' the griffin alien cursed in his head, but after a few more seconds the liquid inside the container with the omnitrix was draining leaving only device as it was soon put inside a capsule and dropped down. The griffin reached out and grabbed it.
"Now how do I get the out of here." He muttered to himself. Suddenly he remembered something about this old ship. He ran over to a corner and kicking one of the large metal plates that made up the walls, the plate shook before falling down to reveal a rather narrow opening. Wasting no time he jumped down and into the tube that lead him sliding downwards, just as the guards blasted open the door and stormed the room.
"Where did the heck did he go!? There isn't any other way out then the main door!" one of the guards growled.
"Apparently not, he made his own." The head guard stated examining the corner and looked done the open pipe. Suddenly he gasped and let out a string of curses surprising the others in the room. "He couldn't have…dammit!!"
"What the heck are you rambling about!?" one of them asked.
"Don't you idiots remember what this room use to lead to!?" scowled the head guard.
When he was met with silence he grinded his teeth. "this place use to be where there was a series of hidden emergency escape hatches, before the room was changed into the laboratory for the device."
"You mean no one filled or destroyed those escape hatches!?!?"
"They didn't want to bother with them and just covered it over! But how the hell did he know!?"
"That doesn't matter now!! What matters is GETTING him before he gets to those escape pods!!" the head guard growled.
"Do they even work?" guard one asked looking down the entrance. The head guard growled.
"Why don't we find out!" and kicked the other guard head first into the opening.
"HEY WHAT THE!!?!?"
"Anyone ELSE care to join him?" the head guard asked. The others shook their head furiously.
"What is taking so long in getting the grffin" Vilgax scowled as a screen of the lab opened up to see.
"Sir, it appears that Nyx had discovered one of the escape hatches that was covered up. We are currently pursuing him." The head guard stated.
"WHAT!?" Vilgax shouted angrily standing up quickly and scaring the minions that were left in the control with him. "I want an entire scan of the ship for that blasted griffin!!"
Quickly the minions turned around and started typing furiously for any signs of the run away hostage, wanting the other alien to take the heat that they were feeling right now from Lord Vilgax.
"I…I found him!! He's located in the lower sections of the ship where some equipment hasn't been used for years!!" one of them shouted.
"Send all soldiers there! I want him captured and taken to me immediately!." Vilgax ordered glaring at the screen
Nyx practically crashed landed in the abandoned area of the ship and saw dust everywhere along with various of broken pieces of metal, parts and machinery. Moving quickly he headed towards the large spherical shaped ships. But he stopped when he swerved around hearing thumping from the passage he had just come out of and saw one of the foot soldiers fall out.
"Stop right there!!" he shouted getting his wits together and opened fired on the bird.
"Damn!!" he growled as he rolled away towards the side to dodge the searing blasts. " I have to get to those pods!!"
Looking around for any ideas he quickly saw his solution and grabbed one of pieces of metal. Holding it tightly in his claws, he stood up and threw it as hard as he could at some of the crates near the solider. The metal plate struck the crates, which made them topple over easily as they were old and the foot soldier was trapped underneath the boxes unconscious. He continued in more of a rush to the pods and was so focused on his goal that he didn't expect the main doors to be opened and even more shots were fired at the griffin surprising him, especially when a blast went right through his stomach.
"Give it up Nyx!! Lord Vilgax wants you and the device!!" sneered a solider as he along with others started to run into the room after the griffin. Nyx just glowered at them and kicked another crate near him and it created a domino effect as it fell into another pile of crates knocking them over and so on, blocking the soldier's path to him. Breathing heavily he just managed to make it to the pods, as his wound continued to bleed.
"I hope these things still have enough power." Grimaced Nyx as he pressed the button on the side of what looked like to be the door of the small ship. A few seconds passed and the griffin's face lit up as the door slowly, but surely opened for him. He climbed in quickly and closing the door he started the pod up just as the soldiers managed to clear away the crates.
"Fire at that escape pod now!!" one of them shouted, "we cannot let him escape!!"
All the soldiers opened fire, but it was too late, the engines of the old pod sounded up and the pod started turning around, so the engines faced the wall. The soldiers continued to fire upon the ship, until a single missile from it was launched and most of them ducked out of the way as the missile hit behind them. What Nyx was aiming for, was not the soldiers but was the hatch opening that was behind them. The huge doors opened and soon the force of space was pulling everything and everyone inside the old part of the ship outwards. Most by now had dropped their weapons to try and stay alive, the few brave or stupid ones continued to fire at will but it was pointless. With all the debris flying outward their shots were blocked. The space pod blasted off into space as the emergency doors kicked in and slowly shut behind him.
"Come on work…already…" Nyx mumbled as he tried working with the navigation system. He knew that he couldn't return to his own planet, so tried to input coordinates to the nearest sister planet of his own, just as he was about to enter the last part to the planet the ship suddenly shook violently and his claws slipped over the keyboard, accidentally setting the ship for a different planet. Turning behind him quickly he paled as he saw Vilgax's ship closing in on him and firing its weapons.
"There has to be someway to escape here!!" Nyx said to himself and pulled a strange lever to his right all the way forward and in a blink of an eye he disappeared, much to Vilgax's frustration. Back on the ship Vilgax glared to where Nyx 's escaped ship had disappeared to.
"You all better get a LOCK on Nyx or I'll soon be replacing EVERYONE on this ship!!!!"
Somewhere in China
"But papa I don't wanna be thrown in there again!!" a young six year old boy with black hair tied in a pigtail said, backing away from an elderly bald man in a white gi and bandana around his head.
"It's the martial artist's duty to make some sacrifices in order to advance and become stronger now get over here boy!!" the man shouted grabbing the back of the silk red shirt he was wearing.
The younger boy struggled trying to get away from the man who had rope and fish sausages laid before him. After a few moments of struggling from the boy the man finally managed to tie him up and cover him in the fish sausages. He kicked opened a wooden door revealing a bunch of yowling and glaring red eyes staring at the two above the dark pit.
"Papa!! Don't!!"
"Stop complaining boy!! You must do this!!"
Just as the man was about to throw the young boy into the pit a loud screeching from above made the man stop and stare at something that was burning in the atmosphere and heading straight for them!?
"What in the world!?" the balding man shouted dropping the boy, thankfully on the outside of the pit.
There wasn't enough time to try and avoid it as whatever it was soon crashed near, creating a huge explosion and throwing the balding martial artist into the distance and the young boy in the other direction slamming against some of the nearby trees, knocking him unconscious.
"Hu...huh? Papa where are you?" the boy wondered coming back to consciousness. The ropes that tied him down were loose enough for him to slip through. Slowly he made his way back to the area where he was last with his papa. He gaped as there was a huge crater and various of metal fragments around.
"Hello? Anyone here? Papa? Papa where are you?" the boy called out. Hearing no reply he inched closer to the metal object trying to get a good look at what it exactly was. He didn't have to go far, since the ground he was standing on was weak enough that he ended up sliding down there, he stopped when he collided with the hard surface of the side of the metal object.
"Ouuuch…." He groaned rubbing his face where it had connected with the metal. "that hurt…what is this thing?" A groan was heard on the other side and the boy quickly ran over but stopped when he saw the strange winged person. Cautiously he moved closer to him and bent down trying to get a good look at him.
"Um…sir?" the boy asked nervously reaching a hand over to feel the soft feathers that covered the strange being. "sir?"
"Ughh…" was the only thing that came out from the stranger.
"Hmm…papa did say that martial artists are suppose to protect the weak, I guess I should take care of him." The boy said to himself. "even if it is a freaky bird thing"
A few hours later the stranger woke up and saw that his chest was wrapped up in bandages. He looked around and saw that a small boy sitting by a fire.
"Boy? Are you the one who bandaged me?" he asked, surprising the young boy making his blue eyes widen in surprise.
"Ye…yes sir! There was a strange first aid kit in the big metal thing but I saw bandages so I managed to wrap up that wound in your stomach." He replied.
"……what's your name?" he asked looking over the boy.
"Ranma Saotome, who are you?" Ranma asked.
"The name's Nyx Valeth. Where exactly am I Ranma?" Nyx asked.
"China Nyx-san. I don't know exactly where in China cuz my papa has the map." Ranma replied.
Nyx frowned, he had no idea where this 'China' was where ever he was. He was about to move to try and stand up but a shooting pain from his limbs stopped him.
"Damn, I must've bruised and broken a few bones…" he grumbled. "you said you found a first aid kit in the ship right Ranma? Bring it to me please."
Ranma nodded and carried a medium sized white box and set it next to the griffin.
"Take out the purple bottle and spray it on my arms and legs." Nyx instructed. Ranma did what he was told and quickly sprayed it on Nyx's arms and legs. The pain lessened immensely and was able to move them with minimal pain. All of a suddenly he realized something.
"Ranma! We need to go back to the big metal thing as you called it." Nyx said urgently standing up.
"But what about your injuries Nyx-san!?" Ranma stated as he stood up also. Nyx shook his head.
"I need to recover something of great importance from that place Ranma. After that I'll try to explain what I can to you." Nyx replied. " please take me to where you found me."
"Okay Nyx-san, follow me." Ranma said and lead the alien out of the woods and closer to the destroyed field. As soon as they reached where the ship had crashed Nyx spread his wings surprising Ranma as he landed inside the crater. The tattered remains of his white lab coat flew off him once he landed inside the crater. Moving aside several metal plates and broken machinery he prayed that the device hadn't gotten damaged in anyway.
"Whatcha lookin' for Nyx-san?" Ranma asked surprising the alien, making him turn around sharply to stare at the innocent boy.
"Ranma, you shouldn't be down here." the griffin said to the child. He had no idea what parts of the spaceship was still in tact or could be on the brink of exploding, if it hadn't already on the landing.
"It's s'ok Nyx-san, my papa does lotsa dangerous stuff." Ranam replied, albeit uneasily. Nyx frowned.
"Still it would be better for you to wait outside the crater for me."
"No! Papa said its a martial artist's duty to help and I wanna help you Nyx-san!" stated Ranma firmly, even stomping his foot on the ground. Nyx shook his head and sighed.
"Alright, you can help just be careful. The object that I'm looking for something about this size," Nyx started showing his hands a few yards apart. "it's very very very important and needs to be found quickly."
"Okay gotcha Nyx-san!" chirped Ranma running to another part of the crater to look.
The two of them spread out and looked for the device. After a few hours Nyx was about to give up when he heard Ranma yell in triumph.
"I think I found it Nyx-san!!" the six-year-old shouted. Rushing over he saw that Ranma was holding the omnitrix itself!?
"Ranma!? Wasn't that thing inside the box?" Nyx asked worried.
"Kinda, it was next to it, and since you said it was important I decided to hold for you so that it wouldn't break." The child replied.
Nyx had to smile a bit at that. "Thank you very much Ranma, would you please hand it over to me so I can be sure that nothing has harmed it?" the griffin alien asked. Ranma nodded and just as he was about to hand it over to Nyx, the omnitrix suddenly glowed and blinded the two in a flash of green light. When the light dimmed down Nyx slowly opened his eyes and stared.
"Nyx-san!! Why won't this come off my wrist!? Is it gonna hurt me!? It's gonna drain me or sumthing isn't it!?!" Ranma cried out hysterically. Reaching over he placed both his clawed hands on the younger one's shoulders, trying to calm him down. He could feel the boy stiffen when he felt the claws, but had stopped shaking his right arm madly.
"Ranma, listen to me. The device is not going to hurt you, it is something to make you strong and maybe even help people." Nyx said calmly. Ranma still looked a bit afraid. Nyx sighed and surprised Ranma by picking him up and carried him back to the campfire where the two sat down next to each other.
"Ranma, I'm going to explain to you in the best and simplest way I can. Now I want you to promise to listen and don't interrupt me." Nyx said. When he got a nod from the boy he smiled.
"As you can probably already tell, I'm not from China or anywhere on this planet. I'm an alien. I come from a race of bird like people that look like me. Now the reason I had crashed here was because I was trying to escape from an evil alien." Nyx said. "the device on your arm is a very powerful device that I was forced to make under the evil alien's work base."
"What's his name?" Ranma asked curiously.
"Vilgax, one of the most feared and dangerous alien's in the known universe. He'll stop at nothing to get that device on your wrist or the original one." Nyx stated.
"The original?" Ranma asked. Nyx nodded.
"What you have on your wrist is a second version, the original was made by my master and his assistant. Its not as powerful as the original, but it's strong enough. But as I was saying, Vilgax doesn't care who or what stands in his way, as long as he gets A omnitrix in the end." Nyx finished.
"So what are ya gonna do now Nyx-san?" Ranma asked.
"I'm going to have to blend in and see if I can hide here for a while. Vilgax is sure to try and find me to get what you have on your wrist." sighed Nyx. He was surprised when Ranma grabbed the front of his feathers and looked at him.
"Stay with me and papa!! I could use someone other then papa to talk to and you seem really really nice like a big brother and even though you're a bit weird looking you're still cool with those wings and beak and it would save you the trouble of knowing our customs and stuff!" Ranma ranted. "'sides you can help teach me how to use this device!"
Nyx let out a loud laugh but couldn't help but find himself drawn to the little boy's bundle of energy. He did have a point though; he could monitor the omnitrix's fusion with Ranma's DNA. But how would he be able to blend in? He would no doubt stick out indefinitely here, especially with his features.
"Alright Ranma, I concede." Nyx said.
"What does concede mean?" Ranma asked.
"It means I give in. I'll agree to travel with you and your 'papa'. I can keep an eye on the device and make sure nothing bad happens to it or you." Nyx said. He couldn't help but smile when Ranma hugged him again.
"Yay!! Does this mean I get to call you big brother Nyx now?" the six-year-old asked.
"I don't see a problem with that. First let me just adjust that omnitrix so that your 'papa' won't ask questions about it." Nyx said.
He took the device and tapped a few of things on the dial and the green light enveloped the device once again. When the light died down, on Ranma's wrists had black wrist guards on them, on the right wristband though, Ranma could see the same dial that was on the omnitrix.
"There that should stop any unwanted questions. Now for me…maybe I have something in here." Nyx said to himself and pulled out a small cube.
"What's that thing?" the boy asked staring at the cube. Nyx proudly showed the younger boy.
"It's a multi-dimensional cube." The griffin stated.
"A multi-dimenshon….huh?" Ranma asked his head hurting from trying to pronounce the large words.
"Um…how to put this in layman's terms…it's a small box that can hold lots and lots of stuff and won't ever be full." Nyx said.
"Like a backpack?" Ranma asked examining the cube that fit in the palm of Nyx's clawed hands.
Nyx nodded. "Yes like a backpack and this little thing," he said pulling out a something small out of the cube, "is going to help me blend in with your world."
"How?" Ranma asked and let out a surprised yelp when the small thing glowed and a light emitted from it shot at him and moved up and down. "what is it doing Nyx-niisan?"
"It's scanning you for information. Basically what your species is so that I can use that information to blend in." Nyx replied.
Soon the light was gone from Ranma and then the light turned towards Nyx. Only this time when the light hit the alien, slowly in front of Ranma he started to change. The feathers seem to fall off as a fair colored skin appeared in place and hair started to form, while the claws retracted enough to look humanly normal, the beak seem to absorb into Nyx's skull and soon lips, ears and a nose was formed. After a few minutes had passed by the process was done. Now instead of the alien Griffin a tall eighteen looking male with light brown hair tipped with white that went down to lower neck tied in a ponytail and had amber colored eyes. The scanning had also molded clothes onto him so Nyx's human appearance was wearing an emerald green shirt similar to Ranma's only it was long sleeved with black pants and the slippers. The device with a sounding 'pop' changed into a clip which Nyx put on his ear. He then moved the cube like you would a rubix cube and it changed from its cube form that fit in the palm of his hand into a large backpack.
"This is just in case I need to do another scanning, since there's only so much you can get from one person and I had to transform the backpack so it looked like I had been traveling awhile." Nyx in his human form said. His voice sounded a bit deeper then his regular voice.
"So if you were to do that on an opponent you could instantly know all their moves that they could use?" Ranma asked eagerly.
"Possibly, but I can't use the scanner more then twice a day or it'll get overheated and be destroyed. It takes a lot of energy to be able to do what it just did Ranma." Nyx explained. "You have to understand certain things have limits that you must take into consideration and plan accordingly."
"Awww okay, ah wait!! Nyx-niisan what about your wings? They didn't disappear!" Ranma exclaimed pointing to the two protruding wings from the alien's back that hadn't disappeared when the scanner turned on him.
"Oh that? I can just retract them." Laughed Nyx. He then folded his wings back inside his body. "though my back tends to get really itchy if I don't let them out every now and then."
"Okay so now let's go find papa and get him to accept you to travel with us." Ranma grinned.
"And how exactly are you going to do that?" Nyx asked as they started walking.
"Umm…if he doesn't I'll put bugs in his pants again!" grinned Ranma. Nyx just shook his head and was about to follow the young boy, but stopped when Ranma hadn't moved.
"What's wrong Ranma?" Nyx asked adjusting the backpack.
"Um…would it be alright to ride on your shoulders till we find papa?" Ranma asked shyly. Being with his papa, he hadn't had much time for fun since he was training almost 24/7.
Ranma watched Nyx think about it for a bit and lowered his head thinking that his new found friend wouldn't let him. So he was greatly surprised when he was lifted into the air and placed on Nyx's shoulders.
"I don't see why not, besides this way it'll be faster to find your papa." Nyx said smiling. Ranma laughed happily and pointed in the direction he thought he saw his papa fly off into when the ship crashed.
To be continued
AzureZephyr: Finally I finished this chapter, it actually is longer then I intended. I wanted it to be at least nine pages, but it ended up being 14. But I hope you enjoyed the first chapter of "Visiting Aliens". I could use the criticism and open to any suggestions and comments so please review! The next chapter will feature Ben, Gwen and Grandpa Max and some more Ranma, but he'll be the age he is in the series by then. Sorry if Ranma seemed a bit OOC, but I didn't really know how his six year old self acted so sorry if he seems weird.
I added in 'niisan' for brother because I thought it would be easier then writing 'big brother' every time Ranma talks to Nyx (and maybe because I'm a bit lazy and niisan is shorter? Lol) I wanted to keep some Japanese formality so I'm going to keep the –san, -kun and –chan suffix to some of the characters names depending on who I have talk.
"Scythia" was something I found in Scythia was the name of an area that extended from central Asia to Ukraine called "Scythia Steppes" where there were precious jewels and gold there. Whenever a stranger approached the area, supposedly the griffin would jump out and attack them, protecting the treasure. So the people of Scythia would use the large petrified bones they found as proof to keep outsiders away.
