Ranma 1/2 and Escaflowne crossover.

*** moutain range ***

It was a foggy morning. The air was damp and thick, but it had a very strange feeling in the air. Almost as if something ominoss was going to happen. Keeping that in mind lets take a look at the fork in moutain trail ahead.

At the fork we see two people there. The first was a man about in his late thirty's or early forty's. The man wore a white slightly dirty bandanna. which was used not as a fashion statement, but to cover the fact that he was going if not already bald. Also he wore a white also slightly dirty gi. With a large pack that seemed to heavy for him but it seemed like it didn't bother him at all.

Next to him was child yes a child. That looked about nine or ten years of age. He too wore a white gi, but it was torn and had on it some blood stains. The child didn't even look so good himself either. He had on a bandaged arm in a sling and one on his face to cover his cheek, to hide his scratches he received.

Looking at the child one can guess that all this was done at a hospital. You see the man took him from the ICU in the middle of the night. The reason he was in there the first place was the man had put the child through a Catfist training, very dangerous style that is equally as dangerous to learn.

*** 3-4 months ago ***

"Boy come here," Stated the bald man to his son.

The boy walked to his father to the center of the shack that the father found, and knelt in front of him, and asked his father, "yes pops what are we going to do today?"

Looking at his son while opening a hidden trap door, that laid in the center of the room, and spoke. "Remember I told you that I would be busy for sometime? Well now it would seem that all you fathers hard work will pay off, and you should be grateful, remember I said I would not stop at anything to ensure you to be a great fighter in our schools' style?" Still looking at his child while pulling out a bag.

"Yes I remember poppa! Is this the secret martial arts style you said I was going to learn!" The boy asked his father enthusiastically with a starry eyed look.

"Yes boy it is. Just as the manual says I followed it to make sure you get this right." As he said this he revealed what was in the bag which was fish sausage. "Now boy just as it says I am to wrap you with this from head to toe," saying he did so to the boy.

"Pops this stuff stinks bad," said the boy with a disgusted face to his father. Only to received the usual "quiet boy" from his father.

"Now let the training begin," while saying this he pushed the boy in the hole and sealed it shut tight with the inside it and the other he had put in it before the boy. No sooner he did this screams came from the hole for a long time. Thus began the training and many others to begin.

*** end ***

"O.K. boy we are almost there," stated the bald man to the boy.

Looking at the man the boy spoke with venom and said "I am no son of yours Genma!"

Upon hearing this he shook his head and thought. "Oh what a disappointment. I will have to break all these habits and ideas he got from those doctors and nurse, and get him thinking about anything goes again. All this nonsense about reading, writing, and all the other nonsense they told him. It is a good this I took him back other wise I be too late."

As they continued there walk the had finally arrived at the place that they were intended to go once his son was older, but as it is now he did need seem to care about the art. So in doing this early he hoped it would rekindle his passion for the art.

"Here we are boy! We finally made to Jusenkyo! Now wait right here I will look for the guide." Genma stated this as he walked in reach of the guides hut for some questions.

"Yeah what ever." the boy said as he sat next to one of the spring and looked at it.

As he looked at it he thought to himself. "I wonder what mom is going." With a sigh he looked at his surroundings and stop at an odd sight.

There standing there was a girl about his age. She had on a dress that was blue and white. What was one of a few thing that were odd was that is looked different then what he was use to seeing. It looked like one of those dress from one of the history books he ha seen. Probably around middle ages he thought. The other thing was she had silver hair and looked almost transparent. As he saw her he stood up to get a closer look but as he walked towards her she started to disappear but the last this he saw on her face was shear terror.

"What wrong I won't hurt you hey don't go! My name is Ranma what's yours hey!" Saying this as he started to run to her.

Once there he stopped and looked around to see if he could see her, but to no avail.

"What was she a ghost," Ranma asked to noone inparticuler. As he said this he started to hear screaming of voices. It was everywhere. The screams where horrorable it sounded like a massacre. Looking everywhere Until his eyes fell on a the pool in which the girl was.

There he saw people hundreds of them. There were being killed. Women being either beheaded, stabbed, or raped. Men fighting to protect there families. Soldiers taking babies from the women that wear hiding or wear just killed.

As he saw all this Ranma started to cry all this suffering he feel compelled to help but how. Then he saw the girl he had just, seen moments ago, running for her life from soldiers that were trying to capture here like if she was some kind of animal.

Seeing this anger started boil in him. Rage was running to all parts of his body. The pain he had felt from his arm didn't matter anymore. All this suffering he wanted extract he same kind of pain to all those men that where following the orders given to them. As all this happened he failed to hear his father calling him from a distance.

As the father and the guide walked to where his boy was at. It angered him that he was being ignored thinking it was Ranmas' was of retaliation for the catfist training, he scooped up a rock and threw it. As the rock soared through the sky and hitting Ranma on the head. It knocked him into the pool. With a smug smile he laughed only to be cut short.

"Aihya! That very bad he fell in sir!" The guide said pointing to the pool. "That one is unknown pool noone feel in before until today. Not even I Know what will boy turn into!"

As Genma heard this he yelled in horror, "what you never said anything about this!" With that Genma started arguing with the guide, but was stopped as the earth started to shake. As this happened a pillar of light beamed up from the pool that Ranma feel into. As Genma saw this he ran to the pool to get Ranma out but as he gout there the light fainted away. If Genma was looking up to the sky he would have seen his son was in the light that had just fainted away.
