Chapter 1: Contacting the Time Stream

"Where can I find the one who will defeat me?" shouted Ryu with intense power coursing through his veins and bloodshot glowing eyes as he stood over the body of Gouki, the ancient master who awakened his killing intent, and turned him into Evil Ryu.

"That would be me", said a voice.

Ryu's eyes widened.

The voice came from a woman. A girl, to be exact.

The face. Ryu recognized her. Or rather, she looked like her. She looked like a celebrity, Yuko Oshima, who was formerly from the girl group AKB48. She was also wearing a school uniform, just like Sakura Kasugano, one of his fans who always wanted to fight like him, but hers was a different school uniform altogether.

But she wasn't. She was either a lookalike, or a clone.

The energy that she gave off, wasn't.

She raised her hand into the air and created a ball of energy, and then she grabbed the ball of energy in her hands and aimed at Ryu.

"Piece…"

The ball kept growing larger and larger with sparks.

"De…"

Ryu got ready to charge a ball of energy in his hands as well.

"Resistance!"

The girl fired a ball of energy straight from both her hands. Ryu fired one from both his hands as well. "HA-DO-KEN!"

The two fireballs clashed with each other, pushing against each other, each trying to outdo the other.

Both sides added some strength and the stalemate remained.

Ryu was struggling. He was grunting.

However, the girl retained her composure.

She just added a bit of strength. Both the Ha-Do-Ken and Piece de Resistance was deflected back a Ryu. The collision of the two fireballs with the fighter who was possessed by the power of the raging demon, was strong enough to knock him out, something no other fighter could do. Not even Sagat, not even M. Bison Vega, and not even Gouki Akuma.

The aura of the raging demon, the Satsui no Hado, was gone.

From outside the cave, was a girl in white blouse and blue skirt school uniform, Sakura Kasugano, Ryu's biggest admirer and fan who managed to acquire a lot of his skills though to a certain extent, and next to her was Karin Kanzuki, Sakura's own major rival, in a red blouse and black skirt uniform and black tights. Using Karin's financial resources, Sakura managed to track down Ryu when he went missing.

"Ryu-san!" Sakura called out as she ran inside to give Ryu a hug.

Karin then smirked and turned to Yumeko.

"You did a good job…erm…"

"Ingrid," Yumeko lied.

"Yes, Ingrid-san. And I would consider you a formidable foe as well", praised Karin. Then she laughed snobbishly. "Oahahahahahahha! I would like to challenge you as well."

"You're most welcome, my customer. My boss will send you the bill," said Yumeko. "As for the challenge, I welcome it."

Yumeko decided not to stay behind to play gooseberry during the tearful reunion. She teleported away immediately.

"Wow, so fast!" exclaimed Karin. "Almost like the Ashura Warp".

Back at Seishokai, Yumeko thought to herself in amusement.

"She wants to defeat me, but she still could not beat Sakura, who could not beat Ryu either. But oh well, it doesn't matter. The customer is right."

She then looked at a photo of a guy in her phone.

"Akira…I miss you…but you're not ready," she thought to herself. "When will these missions end? I'm tired of being immortal and unable to die."

Back in the briefing room, Yumeko placed a yellow coloured medallion onto the rack where other similar medallions were kept. After that, she gave her commander and mentor, Master Garaya, her report.

"Went to look for this guy called Major Vega Bison. Found this inside his reactor which he called the Psycho Drive. Ridiculous! He tried to resist my attacks, but was destroyed by his on powers. Gone in 15 minutes. What a joke!" she said.

"Yumeko, the next thing you must do is destroy them. They are the most dangerous objects in the world after the Infinity Stones."

"Why? Can't I use these to enhance my fighting skills?" asked Yumeko. "They are the most useful in defeating my enemies."

"That is just a prototype power enhancement adapter. It is unstable. And you were careless enough to let him steal it from you," scolded Garaya. "If you are this careless I can't entrust anything dangerous like that for you to use as a weapon."

"Okay, okay, I'm sorry, I'll be more careful next time, okay?" said Yumeko.

"I will need to build a better one so that it can integrate better with you and not get stolen from you easily. It will take a while. The Awakening of the great one will still be a long time away," said Garaya.

"You mean the Dark Flame Master?" asked Yumeko.

"Of course not! Who is the Dark Flame Master? He doesn't control dark flames, for crying out loud", said Garaya.

"You told me that he once did in his past life, and I was once Ja-O Shingan, the Wicked Eye…"

"That was another one of your present day reincarnations before you died and reincarnated back into the past, then to the present, then to the future, and then to the past, and then now, YOU," said Garaya.

"Okay, that was helpful," Yumeko rolled her eyes up.

"Time-travel reincarnation is a part of you and me. Some of the people you may have met in your lives could have been you in your past or future lives, because a time-travel reincarnation spell was activated and you were sent to be reincarnated in different eras in the past and future. The power adapter was supposed to be an early stage replica of the device that allows you to time travel. The Mooba Engine. But I guess it is far from complete."

"I see", said Yumeko. "I'm going to need to see far into the future to see how that can be done".

"Oh, that one you don't need the Mooba Engine, but you can get the help of a psychic called Rose, a disciple of Lisa-Lisa, the master of Hamon. In Italy."

"Okay, I can go and look for her", said Yumeko.

Once Yumeko, learned the technique from Rose, she managed to see the developments that are going to take place far into the future, and her future incarnations, each in different eras after the world ends a few times.

In a few centuries from that point onwards, the world developed technology that ran smoothly like magic, and people were able to cast spells without needing to summon spirits. They fought a war and the continents split up and rejoined into different shapes due to Earth movements caused by the intense use of magic, and new territories were formed by the survivors, while defeated humans were turned into monsters and banished to the moon, and some of them would descend to Earth due to a phenomenon called the Lunar Cry, and humans formed high tech magical military schools called Gardens to fight with these monsters and also fight with an enemy called the Sorceress. Yumeko saw her incarnation during that time. Her name was Rinoa Heartily, and her man was Squall Leonhart.

Far into the future, creatures from Darkrealm invaded the Earth realm and plunged the Earth into darkness. That was when some dark creatures with a sense of justice fought back to return the dark creatures back to the dark and restored peace to humanity.

After the war with creatures from other worlds especially outer space and other dimensions, otherwise known as Darkstalkers, Chinese culture became the mainstream culture after the US and Europe, and a palace was built in the sky to house a 'Kami' or 'divine administrator' who rules over the Earth like a monarch. The lack of living space was no longer a problem as the population of the future dwindled more than half due to more than half of the human population not producing babies, and technology has enabled the human race to compress their living spaces and buildings into capsules. The old national demarcations did not exist anymore. America was called Pepper Town, and many other cities and towns in the world had new names.

This was the world where one day a creature from another planet became the divine administrator and he used advanced technology and magic to create 7 balls called the Dragon Balls, each marked with a set of stars and having a different number of stars between 1 and 7.

That was when her husband in the future was born, and his name was Goku, and her future self was called Chichi (or Qiqi, for those familiar with Hanyu Pinyin).

After that, the Earth was transformed again by another cataclysm and the English speaking westernized cluster became more prevalent, except that most of the human beings became anthromorphic animal beings, with a minority of surviving human civilizations. The future hero of that world was called Sonic, a blue coloured anthromorphic hedgehog, who was also her boyfriend at that time, while she was a pink anthromorphic hedgehog called Amy Rose.

That was the end of the vision. Human's future was to have their genes mixed with animal genes to have stronger resistance against the elements of nature.

However, her peek into the time stream has opened the door for a disaster to take place.

In the closer future among all the futures she saw, a powerful sorceress was bending time to send her consciousness back to the past, and possess the first person who was looking into the time stream.

However, the sorceress called Ultimecia failed to possess her, because she didn't have a real body. Hers was a temporary one used to house her spiritual form.

"That was close," she thought.

However, Yumeko felt something very powerful.

"Rose!" she exclaimed.

Yumeko teleported to Italy to look for her teacher, but found her dead. Her body could not withstand the overwhelming power of the sorceress, so her consciousness was sent back to her time.

For the first time in her life, Yumeko was feeling lost and confused about the future of this world.

What was the point of trying to save it, when the cycle kept repeating itself?

However, Garaya told her.

"It is the will to protect one's brethren that ensures that the human race is not extinct. If nothing is done, humanity would be done for and there will be no more evolution and no more reincarnation."

That's when she thought it through.

"I will protect everyone as though they are the dearest persons to me, because those persons could be me and my love in another incarnation. I want to ensure that I have a future with the one I love, so despite the wars that will happen in the future, I will do my best to ensure the maximum number of people are saved. So, what is my next mission, Master Garaya?"
