As a newbie to the list, the following is the beginning of my
own fanfic. It is a very basic crossover, putting the Nerima
crew into the X-men's roles. Please, any sort of legitimate C+C
is requested, but no simple flames; I want to learn something
here.

Disclaimer: None of these characters are mine, I'm just one
warped little otaku who is writing a fanfic about them.


Without further ado:

         THE H - MEN




        "Hmmm..." muttered the old, bald man. "It seems that a
new mutant has turned up 
on Cerebro. I must summon my H-Men!"
        His mind reached out, touching the minds of most of his
students with his powerful
telepathy.One by one, he informed them of his discovery, and
his fear of what would 
happen if he - or she - fell into the wrong hands. They
assembled in the meeting room,
one level above where the aged professor sat. Activating his
hoverchair, he floated to the 
elevator, to brief them further.
        "Professor H, what's goin' on?" asked Ran-clops, the
professor's best student. A 
powerful martial artist, he had the mutation to be able to
shoot devastating blasts of chi 
from his eyes. However, an accident during a training journey
with his father left him 
with two problems. The first, and most obvious, was the
inability from keeping the chi 
from pouring forth without ruby-quartz glasses. The second, was
a curse, thanks to the 
infamous Springs of Jusenkyo - he would transform into a female
version of himself 
when doused with cold water, and return to normal when hot
water was applied.
        A pretty young girl with short, dark brown hair
snorted. "He probably just detected 
mutant panties again, and wants us to take him on a raid - 'for
old times' sake '." This was 
Akane, the Phoenix. An amazingly powerful telekinetic, and
almost as powerful telepath 
as the Professor, himself, she was engaged to Ran-clops by
their respective fathers before 
either were ever born. Though they fought like cats and dogs,
they deeply cared about 
each other - though neither would ever admit it.
        A large, blue panda held up a sign. <Now,
Akane-Phoenix,> read the sign, <let the 
Master explain. It may be more than that.> This was Genma,
Ran-clop's father, known as 
Pandabeast. Like his son, he acquired a Jusenkyo curse during
their training mission, but 
his became permanent. He was forever stuck in the animalistic
form he now wore, but 
was blessed, as well, with exceptional agility for a panda, as
well as a good knowledge of 
bio-chemistry.
        "Yeah, right," muttered Ran-clops.
        "No, no, my student, Akane-Pheonix has a point." The
Proffessor held up a withered 
hand. "I admit that I have a problem, one that subjects me to
as much angst as your curse 
does to you." His voice _sounded_ long-suffering, and his
expression was sincere, but 
there was dead silence. Crickets chirped. Ran-clops snorted.
        A slender, beatufil girl with long, dark-brown hair,
and a single white streak through 
it flew in the door at this moment, with a large, adamantium
spatula strapped to her back. 
"Hey, Ran-chan. Have I missed anything, sugar?" This was
Rogueonamayaki, a South-
Japanese belle who had the power to absorb other mutants' powers.
        "Probably stupid bald pervert man steal wrong panties
again," said the girl who 
followed. With purple hair, white eyes, and a figure that would
stop a clock, Stormpoo 
simply wiggled her fingers, and a raincloud appeared above the
head of Professor H. As 
with Ran-clops and Pandabeast, Stormpoo had a Jusenkyo curse.
However, she got hers 
without any benefit of a training mission, for she once lived
in a nearby Amazon village. 
In her case, cold water turned her into a cat - but a cat that
could still command the 
elements in all their fury.
        "Stormpoo, my beloved, wait!" called Mousseangel's
voice from outside the room, 
closely followed by the sound of a face impacting with a Shi'ar
steel doorframe - a 
common sound whenever he forgot his glasses, and one the other
H-men had gotten used 
to.
        "Stupid Mousse," muttered Stormpoo, summoning a wind to
carry his unconscious, 
steel-winged form into the control room. As a former member of
the same village 
Stormpoo came from, he, too was cursed, and became a
steel-winged duck.
        Professor H looked around at the gathered H-men, and
noted two absences. "Where 
are Ice-Soun, and Wolveryouga?"
        " I think they're down in the Danger Room. Kasumi and
Nabiki are down there too, 
in the control room," said Akane-Phoenix.
                           *********************
        "BAKUSAI TENKETSU!!!"
        With a savage yell, Wolveryouga thrust one of his claws
into the huge ice-wall in 
front of him. As he struck the center of its chi, the wall
shattered, sending shards of ice 
flying in all direction.
        "Waaahh! My beautiful wall is RUINED!!! WAAAHHH!!"
Ice-Soun, father of 
Akane-Phoenix, Nabiki, and Kasumi, simply pored immense amounts
of water out of his 
tear ducts, water which instantly formed into ice, sheathing
himself in it. Thus armored, 
he faced his much younger opponant. "If...if...if...if Akane
had been behind that wall, of 
Nabiki, or, or...KASUMI!!! WAAAHHHH!! KASUMI!!!" More water
pored out and 
froze, solidifying as a massive shaft of ice, slamming into
Wolveryouga. The impact sent 
him flying across the Danger Room, impacting the far wall and
leaving a dent.
        "Enough playing around," he snarled. "Your daughters
are safe and sound, up there!" 
Wolveryouga was yet another mutant, as well as victim of a
Jusenkyo curse. With 
inhuman endurance, as well as a healing factor, he had been
chosen as the test subject for 
the implantation of an adamantium skeleton and claws. While the
adamantium vanished 
in his cursed form, a small black piglet, the claws made
formidable weapons in his 
natural form, and he could even perform chi maneuvers with them.
        "Safe? Where?" Ice-Soun began looking around, from side
to side, and lost the 
concentration he needed to maintain his ice-tears. His
ice-armor flaked off, and one of his 
opponant's fists slammed into the side of his head, knocking
him to the other side of the 
room, leaving a dent in the wall opposite from Wolveryouga's.
        A quick flick of a switch, and Nabiki's dry voice came
on the loudspeaker in the 
Danger Room. "If you two are quite finished knocking each other
off the walls, the 
Professor has asked that we all meet up in the Hall. Sheesh, if
it wasn't for the Sh'iar 
memory metal walls we had installed down here, our repair bills
would be through the 
roof."
        Wolveryouga walked overto his teammate, and helped him
out of the wall. Then, 
with a brief stop to get the two sisters, they went upstairs to
see what it was all about.
                           *********************
        "And, so, if we don't find this mutant before
Apocologne does, we don't know what 
she could do with him." The Professor looked around at the
others. "But, first, our 
obligatory ten minutes of angst. Ready..." he looked at his
watch,"...now."
        Ran-clops' eyes were shut tight behind his ruby quartz
glasses. *If only I would stop 
shooting chi out of my eyes all the time. It just gives the
kawaiikune tomboy another 
reason to yell at me...and she's so cute when she's not
yelling...*
        Rogueonomayaki stared, instead, at Ran-clops. *Oh,
ran-chan, how am I ever going 
to earn your love, when I can never touch you without draining
your chi and powers ?*
        Stormpoo also looked at Ran-clops. *Stormpoo still say
she best bride for Ran-
clops.* Even her angst was simple and to the point.
        Akane-Phoenix looked back and forth between Ran-clops
and Wolveryouga, finally 
settling on Ran-clops. *Grrr, that Ryouga...not telling me he
was P-chan all along...and 
Ranma not telling me either...still, he did it out of a promise
to Ryouga...and he has such 
strong honor...I know how he feels for me, I can feel it
whenever I touch his mind, but 
why won't he ever come out and say it?*
        Pandabeast and Ice-Soun looked at each other, and then
glanced from Akane-
Phoenix to Ran-clops. Their thoughts were extremely similar,
and along the lines of, 
*Why doesn't that boy go ahead and choose Akane as his bride,
and stop stringing along 
those other girls, so the Anything-Goes school of Mutant
Education can be united at 
last?*
        Mousse was staring at Stormpoo. At least, he thought he
was, but it was actually the 
computer console. *Oh, Stormpoo, when are you going to realize
that Ran-clops will 
never marry you? I'm the one for you.*
        Nabiki looked from team member to team member. *God,
these guys have enough 
angst to finance a small international corporation.*
        Kasumi just looked around, smiling warmly at everyone.
        Wolveryouga's eyes were also shut, but his hands were
clenched tight enough to 
crush steel. *Why did I have to go and tell Akane-Phoenix my
dreadful secret? Why did I 
tell her I was P-chan? Now she'll never love me...* He started
glowing green, and words 
began to form almost unbidden on his lips. "Shi...shi...ho..."
        "NO!" yelled almost everyone in the room at once,
breaking the angst-ridden 
moment, and they all dog-piled Wolveryouga, to prevent him from
finishing that phrase, 
and destroying the Tendo Mansion the H-men used as their
headquarters.
        "Okay, never mind, no more scheduled angst moments.
Quick, everyone, to the 
Batbird...er, I mean Blackbird!" Professor H pushed a couple of
buttons on his 
hoverchair, and sped out of the room to the hangar. Everyone
else leapt off of 
Wolveryouga, and raced off. After a few seconds, Ran-clops came
running back in the 
meeting room, picked up the mangled form of his teammate.
        "Geez, piggy, quit standing around and come-on!"
        Nabiki and Kasumi watched them leave, Kasumi saying,
"Have fun! Fly safely!" 
Nabiki just shook her head, and left for the Communications
room to monitor the team.
