Chapter One
Ten year old Ranma Saotome hid in an small alley full of gargage and
cardboard boxes, his father wanted to try another terrible technique on him.
Genma he knew was just a moron and an honourless one to boot, he knew as soon as a new technique was mentioned that it was just another way for Genma to feed his fat stomach.
"Why is my life like this, why can't I have a normal life like everyone else," Ranma whispered to himself he hugged his knees to his chest as he thought over his life.
'Sometimes I wonder if there is more then training in my future, I want so much more in life' Ranma thought, he sadly watched some children run by his hiding place laughing.
"I want to have fun too," he said sadly, he watched them till they finally vanished out of sight. He sighed and leaned against an ally wall, he wanted to be with other children enjoying life.
"Hey," he said startled when he felt something digging into his back, moving forward he reached behind him and picked up the objects that had been digging into me.
"....." he said looking them over, one was a small oval electronic device that was black and red and also edged with silver. The other was rectangaler in shape and thin, in the center of the object was a strange symbol he couldn't identify.
"Cool," he breathed, he didn't know why but he suddenly felt a great attachment to these objects... he knew that they belonged to himself. Not knowing why he clipped the oval object to his belt but inside next to his skin, he didn't want his 'father' to find it.
'Now what to do about this thing' Ranma thought looking at the other object, he closed his eyes and thought. Unnoticed by the young boy the crest in his hand began to glow with a soft golden light, it suddenly morphed into another oobject.
"Whaa," Ranma said feeling the change in shape, opening his eyes he looked at it. In his hand was a small sapphier jewel that easily fit in the palm of his hand, it was on a small chain of a strange black metal.
Holding the jewel up he let sunlight shine through it, he gave another gasp as he saw that the symbol was in the center of the jewel.
"So strange," he whispered, then being the kid he was he shrugged his shoulders and out it around his neck. Not wanting Genma to steal it he hid it under his shirt and made sure it was out of sight, feeling pleased with himself he smiled and got comfortable in his hiding place again.
"There you are boy," a gruff uncaring voice yelled, the next thing Ranma knew was that he was being thrown against a wall and smacked by his father. "Ungrateful boy, running off when I had a new technique for you to learn," his father said, Ranma felt himself pulled on top of his fathers shoulders and then his father began roof hopping.
'Please don't tell me this is my destiny' Ranma thought looking up at the sky, but to escape this life he would need a miracle.

Fourteen year old Ranma sat looking at the night sky, they had just arrived in China and were resting for the night. Tomorrow they would be heading to some ledgendary training ground, suddenly he got a chill.
'Why do I suddenly get the feeling that my life is about to get much more interesting' Ranma thought with a frown, he sighed and decided that right about now would be a good time to go asleep.
***
Gennai watched young Ranma from the digital world, he was saddened by these events but he had been ordered not to interfere.
"Sam I'm sorry, if only I had found a better family to place you with... I had no idea that something like this would happen," Gennai whispered, he then turned to look at the dimention the other digidestined were in.
"Hmmm... time in the dimention Sam is in passes much quicker then his home dimention, in no time at all he will be at the age he would of been if the accident had never happened," Gennai said to himself, he then smirked to himself.
"That could be usefull for future fights, now how do I arrange this just right," Gennai mused to himself, thoughtfully he tapped his bottom lip.

"I'm me again," demiveemon cried happily as he bounded for his human partner, happily Davis picked up his digimon and hugged.
"We finally defeated the Digimon Emperor," Davis said with relief but also with sadness, they had lost so many in this long fight.
"Davis, somethings strange with your D-Terminal," demiveemon said suddenly, startled Davis looked down to see that it was glowing golden slightly.
"What the..." Davis said opening his D-Terminal, his eyes widened when he saw that the screen showed the digi-egg of miracles. Suddenly the screen flashed blinding the two for a few seconds, once they could see again they were in a big surprise.
"Its gone," Davis said quietly, he looked at the others and saw that only demiveemon and himself had seen the flash.
"Where do you think it went?" demiveemon asked, Davis frowned and looked at the blue sky above his gaze filled with worry.
"I don't know, but I have a feeling that we will find out sometime in the future," Davis said, looking at each other they decided that they would tell the others what happened once they got back to the real world.

Ranma breathed heavily as he fought Saffron, sweat rolled down his face as he fought for Akanes life and everyone he knew.
'I don't have much time left, if I don't hurry Akane will die... or worse Saffron will kill me and every other human who ever get in his way' Ranma thought panic rising up inside him, finally he used his hurricane attack and it caused him to fly into the air from the force of the winds.
'Oh no it didn't work' Ranma thought as he saw the winged demi-god flying towards him, as he began to fall he saw that the explosions from the battle had knocked out those who were watching.
"I don't have anything left to give," Ranma whispered closing his eyes, his life flashed through his mind and he remembered how miserable it was.
"I need a miracle," Ranma whispered, he grunted as Saffron punched him in the stomach, he crashed faster towards the ground. "I'm sorry," he whispered, for some reason a image of a blue haired boy came into his mind... and he didn't know why but he felt connected to this unknown like no one before.
Suddenly a warm feeling covered him and he suddenly felt himself stop falling, slowly he opened his eyes and he gasped.... he was floating in the air. He looked at his necklace which was out of his hiding place and floating around his neck, he gulped when he saw that the symbol inside it was glowing a beautiful golden color and so was the jewel.
'This feeling feels so familliar, why do I feel like I have seen this light before' Ranma thought with a frown, not knowing why he clutched the jewel and felt its comforting energy course through him.
Suddenly he felt as if he was a passenger in his own body, it was as if he was watching television as words came out of his mouth which he hadn't meant to say.
"Crest of Miracles Activate!" he yelled, he gasped as his body was filled with strange energy and the energy seemed to change him somehow.
He closed his eyes as it washed over him, he felt something cover him over his clothing and it contained much power. Opening his eyes he found himself in beautiful golden armor the strange symbol in the middle of the chest plate, for some reason he now knew what symbol it was.
"Say goodbye Saffron," he said with a smirk, raising his arm energy gathered... it was silver in color with golden highlight.
"No it cannot be, the destened one of miracles," Saffron screamed, Ranmas eyes narrowed his concentration on the energy being gathered.
"Miracle beam!" he screamed, at those words the energy became a beam of energy and hit Saffron.
Ranma watched as Saffron was killed, he hated to kill but he knew Saffron was going to be reborn anyway. All this had only taken thirty seconds, slowly he floated towards the ground intent on saving Akane in the time left.
"Huh?" he said startled as something suddenly appeared in front of him, it was an egg type object and golden in color. Not knowing why he knew that it belonged to him, as if in a trance he reached out and touched it.
The next thing Ranma knew there was a flash of light and the egg was gone, quickly he placed Akane in the magic water. He sighed in relief as she became normal again and gave a big breath, he smiled seeing that she was alseep and fine now.
'Is this my fate' was his last thought, finally it had been two minutes since the golden armor had appeared. He fell forward in an exausted faint, as he hit the ground the armor vanished and he was in his normal clothing.

Gennai nodded as he watched this happen, soon Sam/Ranma would be ready to begin his journey into his home dimention. He then frowned when he realized that sam was a little older then he should be, well he would fix that problem when he came to fix those other pesky problems like the neko-ken and the curse.
Looking in the other dimention he saw the digidestined destroying control spires in the real world, he nodded to himself and smiled as he saw that Ken was gaining even more trust with the other digidestned.
'Almost everything is right, now only to fix that memory thing' Gennai thought, he gave a small chuckle.
