Claude 1/2 (One-Half) Chapter 1 By: Jesse (Expertise626) This is my first LONG and chaptered story. In case you didn’t know, Claude 1/2 is a mix of Ranma 1/2 and Star Ocean: The Second Story. So, ahem.. It was a long walk from the Calnus where Claude and Ronixis left to find this, ..location.. FLASHBACK Soldier 1: Dude! Check out my Travel magazine! Soldier 2: Whoa.. What is that? Soldier 1: A primitive planet. in the Solar system. As the two soldiers were looking at the magazine in awe, Ronixis J. Kenni steps in and finds them staring at the magazine like it’s..um.. Ronixis: Halt Soldiers! Soldier 1 and 2: SIR! Ronixis: What are you looking at? That better not be.... Soldier 1: N-nothing like that SIR! Ronixis: Let me see that.. Ronixis looked at the magazine with a surprised expression.... Ronixis: OH!!! Soldier 2: It’s a cursed spring. Ronixis: This looks like a great place for Claude and I to train! Ronixis quickly ran with the magazine to Claude’s room. Ronixis was surprised to see Claude not studying... Claude: DIE USELESS CIVILIAN!!! Ronixis: Claude! Why are you playing with your dolls again!! I told you to burn them!!! Claude: But, but, I wanna keep them!!! Ronixis: You’re a grown man now, son! Ronixis promptly takes the dolls and throws them in the air and shoots them with his Phase gun. He then pulled the magazine out of his shirt for Claude to see. Claude: What is this dad? Ronixis: It’s a cursed springs. It’s a great place for combat training. Claude: Do we have to? Ronixis: YES!!! I can’t have my son be a weakling! Claude: Okay, I’ll come..... They both go to the cockpit and yell out directions to the crew. Ronixis: FULL SPEED TO THE SOLAR SYSTEM!! WE ARE HEADING TOWARDS EARTH!! A few hours pass. Claude: Dad, are we there yet? Ronixis: For the 468th time, NO!! Claude: Oh ok. Are we there yet? Ronixis: Shut up, Claude!! Claude: I’m thirsty!!! Ronixis pulled out his Phase gun but thought the better of it and put it away and reminded himself of the Anger Management classes he took in College. Ronixis: Calm down, Ronixis. Self-Control, Self-Control. Claude: I WANNA RIDE A PONY!! Ronixis: ARGHH!!!! Ronixis pulled out his Phase gun yet again and pointed it at Claude’s direction. Of course, Claude flinched and jumped backwards a step. Ronixis: SELF-CONTROL, RONIXIS!!!! YOU’RE SON OR YOU’RE TEMPER?!?! ARGHH!!!! Kurtzman: Sir, we have arrived on Earth. Ronixis: FINALLY!!! Pilot: Where do we drop you off, sir? Ronixis: At the Jusenkyo springs, Pilot. Pilot: Yes Sir. They fly to the Jusenkyo springs where Ronixis and Claude were dropped off. Claude: So this is the Jusenkyo springs? They see a bunch of deep ponds with sticks that stand like towers in them. Ronixis and Claude ran towards the site of the springs and encounters a man that seems to be a guide. Jusenkyo Guide: Here sirs, you come across the Cursed Springs Jusenkyo. Each spring have own tragedy happen there. Ignoring the man, Claude and Ronixis jumped on a different stick jumping from stick to stick to maneuver. Claude shot his phase gun at Ronixis. Claude: I’m not holding back!! Ronixis: That’s just the way I like it!!! A mile from where Claude and Ronixis are.. Ranma: Yo pops, are we at Jusenkyo yet? Genma: Almost there, boy. Ranma: We better be! I hiked all the way from Japan to China! Just to get here! Genma: Shut up, boy. Back to Ronixis and Claude. Both of them seem to be fighting in midair. Claude seems to have a slight advantage due to his youth. Claude: Not bad.. Ronixis: Maybe making you an Ensign was the right choice.. You are not that bad yourself. Two very familiar people enter the Jusenkyo area.. Ranma: Finally. Huh? Someone’s already training!!! Genma: They’re not bad. Let’s watch. Claude attempted to fire his Phase gun but learned he ran out of energy in the gun. Claude: There’s not enough sunlight to charge this thing up.. Ronixis jumped at Claude. Claude, not knowing what to do, threw the Phase gun at Ronixis. It hit his head. Soon enough, Ronixis fell inside a spring. All of the suddenly, a Panda jumped out of where Ronixis should be. The Panda jumped on to a stick and gave a loud roar. Claude: W-what the hell is that!??!?! Jusenkyo guide: That man fall in Shonmaoniichuan!! Spring of fallen Panda. Now whoever fall in spring, take body of Panda!! Ranma and Genma looked at this event in shock. Ranma: L-let’s get out of here!!! Genma: WAHH!!!!! Both of them ran away in fear not because of the Panda but because of the consequences of training there. Claude: So Dad is now a Panda!?!?!? Jusenkyo guide: Right. While Claude wasn’t looking, the Panda punched him into a spring. If you have watched Ranma 1/2 then you should know where he could have fell into. Claude or should I say, Claudia floated back up. Jusenkyo guide: Oh, too bad. You fall in Nyaniichuan, spring of Drowned Girl. Whoever fall in spring, take body of young girl. Claude stared at his chest and saw he was a girl. Claude: AHH!!!! Jusenkyo guide: See? Now you young girl! END OF CHAPTER 1 Tune in for Chapter 2 next time when I get it up. They find out how to return to normal. So check back next time for chapter 2 of Claude 1/2.
