Hello everyone, R-0 here and welcoming you to my next FanFiction, please read the ending notes for more details on this FanFic.

Disclaimer: I do not own Super Robot Wars and its materials, if I did, Ryusei and Kyosuke would have a combo attack.

Chapter 1: One Ends...

Ryusei's consciousness was slowly slipping away, he could feel the life leaving him, only having enough strength to open his eyes one more time, the sight just as horrible than his previous.

Through the cracked and wrecked display, Ryusei can see the monstrous sight of Beowulf, his white mech towering over the battlefield, standing there proudly, holding the crushed remains of Kyousuke's Alteisen Reise, Beowulf's savage cry of victory can be heard, claiming his final victim.

Why does Ryusei not help? Simple, he cannot.

Ryusei's R-1 drifts with him inside, the limbs all destroyed as well as the head unit and boosters, a powerless husk floating in space, the damage too extensive, even the interior was damaged, some shards impaling Ryusei, hence him losing consciousness.

Why do none of the other pilots stop Beowulf? Simple, they are dead.

Shards of various other mechs drift around Ryusei, from Arado's Wild Wurger to Bullet and Kusuha's RyuKohoh. Ryusei's own teammate's mechs can be seen also, Aya's R-3, Rai's R-2 , Mai's R-Gun, Viletta's Garbein.

Ryusei already cried for the loss of his family, he would still continue to do if he had the strength, unfortunately, he has no such strength. Not anymore.

"Is this all this world has to offer me as a challenge? Pathetic!" Came the bestial voice of Beowulf, mocking the fallen, savouring his victory. He throws the Alteisen's remains before blasting them with a Chest Beam.

"I expected more from myself…" His tone was condescending, disappointed at the deceased Kyousuke.

Suddenly, he senses the faint life of Ryusei coming from the R-1's wreckage.

"So one survives, how did it feel to watch the deaths of all your comrades… Ryusei?" Ryusei slowly turned to his comm screen to see the distorted being of Beowulf smirking at him.

"Oh, I can tell who you are, Ryusei, I killed you in the other universe as well, your kind are supposed to be psychic, aren't they? How did you not foresee your ends?" That same mocking tone.

Beowulf dashes to the wrecked R-1, towering over it, he violently grabs it with one hand. Ryusei making a grunt of pain at the violent movement, the shards in his chest jerking violently.

"Did it hurt you? Did it make you angry, seeing me slay all your friends like cattle?" He waits for an answer.

"…" Ryusei mumbles something weakly.

"What was that Ryusei? You're going to have to speak up!"

"F…k…u" Ryusei mumbles again, a few syllables hear-able.

"One more time, I almost had it!"

"Fuck you… Monster…" Ryusei's words easy to understand after one more try. Beowulf, instead of being angered, laughs.

"Oh, you have much more balls than My Universe's Ryusei, he screamed in terror during his final moments." He chuckled at that.

"I like you, Ryusei and, because I like you…" He raised the Arm equipped with the Revolver Stake and aims it at the cockpit, crimson blood colouring the tip, a stark contrast to the white.

"I'LL END YOUR SUFFERING, DIE!"

The Stake advances on the cockpit, time slowing down around Ryusei as his tired eyes watch as the stake tears through the metal sheet of the hatch advancing on him.

Is… is this it…? I worked so fucking hard to become strong enough to protect those closest to me… But it was for nothing…

The stake makes contact with his skin, tearing through the pilot suit and flesh, immeasurable pain bursting through Ryusei, his mouth lacking the energy to scream in pain.

If… if I got another chance… I wouldn't fail my family… I would kill this bastard and end this…

The last ounce of life leaves his body, his eyes finally losing the will to stay open, darkness engulfs his sight…

"Do you really mean that, Ryusei?"

The pain ends, he can feel an intense light through the darkness; his body feels like it is almost floating.

Slowly, he opens his eyes, taking in the sight of a pure white world painfully familiar to him.

This is… This is where I met…

"Do you really mean that?" A familiar voice calls.

He turns his head to see a familiar silhouette hovering near him.

"You're… that kid…" Ryusei says.

"Well, that's rude; I'm older than you, you know?" The boy retorts.

"What am I doing here? I… I remember Beowulf and… him killing me…"

"Technically, you did die; this world really does not apply to the normal laws of physics."

"It doesn't matter… all my friends are dead, what's the point anymore?" Ryusei asks, the question intending to be rhetorical.

"How did it happen?" The boy asks again.

"W-what?" Ryusei asks, his voice gaining some of its old energy. And some anger.

"How did they die?"

"That bastard… Beowulf… He killed them, killed them all, how the hell do you think?!" Ryusei's voice becomes aggressive.

"That's odd, there were many of you, how did he defeat you all?"

"I… I don't know…"

"I do." Ryusei's eyes widen at this.

"W-what?"

"You were supposed to be stronger, Ryusei, you were supposed to be pivotal in his defeat, along with Kyousuke, unfortunately, you were too weak, and so everyone died."

"You make it sound like it was my fault they died, you bastard!"

"It was." Ryusei becomes even more pissed off at this simple statement.

"Why you-"

"What if I gave you another chance?" Ryusei slightly calms down at this.

"Another… chance?"

"Yes. A chance to do it all over again. A chance to kill Beowulf."

"How?"

"I believe I can help with that." Another voice calls out, a silhouette appears near the boy, one Ryusei easily recognises.

"I-Ingram…"

"At this moment, I possess the ability to "Time Dive" I can only use it once and I have been… saving it for a special occasion." There is a tone of slight amusement in the last part.

"The occasion being the complete slaughter of my friends?!" Ryusei is pissed at Ingram's relaxed nature.

"Actually, no, to be honest, I have no idea, it just felt like something fun to keep."

"And what do you mean Time Dive?"

"Have you not figured it out yet, Ryusei?" Ryusei shakes his head. "Still as head-strong as ever, I see, but having the common sense of a rock."

"Cut to the chase, Ingram." Ryusei commands, his voice laced with irritation.

"Still not forgiven me yet?"

"For betraying us and breaking Aya's heart? No, I haven't."

"You do know I wasn't exactly myself, right?"

"Doesn't matter, I didn't really like you before that, now what is Time Dive?"

"Fine, I'll explain it in simple ways, Time Dive is the ability to send an individual, free of charge, back to a certain point in time."

"And what's the downside?"

"You're just going to accept my words that easily?"

"Ingram, I have seen space aliens, alternate realities, robotic animal gods and a ton of other shit, Time Travel is not that surprising for me." Ryusei explains

"Good point, Ryusei." The boy says.

"Anyway, the downside is, once you're there, there is no more jumping, I send you to a point and you have to live out ALL the experiences , even the bad ones. You won't have the luxury to jump back and forth to see the fruits of your labour." Ryusei nods at this.

"Simple enough."

"Now that that is settled, where do you want to go?"

"To the beginning."

"The beginning?"

"Yes."

"By beginning, you mean…?"

"Right before the Burning PT tournament."

"Are you sure Ryusei? You suffered a lot of hardship at the beginning of it, wouldn't it be better to just skip it over to the latest possible opportunity? Besides that is lot of months of your life to relive." Ingram tries to gauge his reasoning.

"That's exactly why."

"Excuse me?"

"All those hardships I suffered, that my friends suffered, Ouka's death, The Captain's death, breaking Aya's heart…" He points at Ingram accusingly at that "… I want to prevent as many as I can. To do that, I must go back to the beginning." Ryusei explains himself.

"How admirable, Ryusei, just like you…" Ryusei frowns at this, "Very well, the beginning it is…"

He raises one of his hands and turns makes a shape like he is about to snap his fingers.

"Oh… some pieces of advice." The boy said.

"What?"

"First, don't reveal that you are from the future, it can… complicate things."

"Second, you will keep your current abilities, however your body will age back to it's younger state."

"Third, when you meet Ingram, remember that THAT Ingram will not know you, so try and control your grudge."

"And don't hate me too much when I double cross you." Ingram chirped in.

"I'll try." Ryusei says dryly

"Finally, and most importantly, remember that any changes you make will have consequences, this timeline will be affected by the choices you make." Ryusei nods at all these.

"Don't tell anyone, I'll still be myself, hide my grudge and think about consequences, got it."

"Well, in that case…" Ingram snaps his fingers "See you soon, Ryusei."

At that moment, an intense light engulfs Ryusei, excitement filling him to meet his friends and right wrongs.

As well as killing that bastard Beowulf…

And so ends my pilot chapter for my Super Robot Wars fic.

If any of you are die-hard Super Robot Wars gamers and I am completely off course about stuff, know that I have only watched the anime, and that is all my knowledge comes from. I don't even know the boy's name. So don't be asking "Oh, this didn't happen in the game" Or "Where is this unit?" Speaking of units, I know one or two that didn't appear in the anime that will appear in this.

If Ryusei was too sombre, it is because I feel that Ryusei gets all of his drive from his friends, with them all dead, he just felt… empty. Don't worry, he will be happy and his usual self when surrounded by them again.

Some of you may be worried about an OP Ryusei, don't worry, remember them Consequences? yeah, you will see what I mean.

Anyway, plans for this:

1) As stated, Ryusei will make changes in this universe, these changes coming with consequences.

2) Ryuesi will be much more passionate towards his friends, while I will not give any spoilers I will just say that, if you thought Ryusei losts his shit with Ingram the first time, just wait. He will also be much more easily angered, especially when he encounters the Einst.

3) The R-1 will get an upgrade, but it is miles down the line, like near the end of series two miles, however I will try and mix it up by sticking him in different mechs. It won't be Powered though, I already have in my head what I want that to be.

4)Like the original, Mai and Latooni will still like him, however I have a little list in my head for some… additions, they are:

Definite

1) Aya (Always liked the idea of Aya falling for Ryusei after being jilted by Ingram, what can I say? I really like how well the two get along in the series.)
2) Viletta (I just like mature, older women and I think that would be a nice dynamic, that and Viletta is my favourite Super Robot Wars girl, plus wouldn't it be epic if Ryusei was able to charm all three of the SRX Team Girls?)

Maybe

1) Ouka (Could possibly tie in with the whole Consequence thing.)
2) Lamia (Why the hell not? Have no idea how to make it work, but if you really want it, I will give it serious thought.)

The maybes I am benched about, why don't you all give me your opinions on them? Any other suggestions will have to be:

A) A girl without an established love interest. For example, Kusuha is a no, yes she did have a crush on him, but her getting with Bullet is integral to their plots.

B)Appears in the anime or I will have no clue who you are talking about.
