"IT HAS BEGUN!"
Capcom dimension: Street Fighter realm
"Uh?" Ryu looks toward the sky. "Mmm"
"What's wrong, Ryu?" asks Ken.
Ryu is a supreme martial artist who comes from Japan. He has had many battles over the last couple of years and has shown great skill to all to his opponents. Ryu's greatest battles have been against M. Bison, an evil general who has been collecting the world's greatest street fighters to build his dark army to take over the world. Ryu had no propose of fighting Bison until he kidnapped his friend and equally powerful fellow student, Ken, and using his man-made powers which he calls 'psycho power' to warp Ken's mind and turn him against Ryu. Bison's grip lessened as Ryu started getting through to Ken. Bison then uses his psycho power to injure Ken and take his place and battles Ryu. Only when Ken recover and combined their strength could Bison be defeat.
"Nothing."
"Well, okay, what ever you say." Ken continues walking down the path through the woods. Ryu is walking along side him and appears to be in deep thought. "Ryu?" No reply. "Ryu?" Ken says a little louder.
"What?"
"Now I know something's wrong." Ken moves in front of Ryu to stop him. "What is it?"
"Nothing."
"Nothing?! This isn't nothing. Something's really bothering you."
"I sense something." Ryu finally gives in. "Someone with an evil chi."
"Oh no. Not Akuma again. He's been going after you ever since you have been possessed by the dark hadou."
"It's not Akuma." Ryu raises his head and looks at the sky again. "It's bigger. It feels familiar as well." He pauses
"Well, who?"
"It feels like… Onslaught only… not Onslaught."
Ken looks at Ryu confused, "What?… Hmm, I think you're a little crazy."
"Now there are two of them."
"Huh?" Ken begins to laugh. "I think you just hungry, that's all. Come on, it's about a mile to the next town." Ken turns and continues down the path. He stops and turns around, Ryu hasn't moved. "Ryu!"
What is it? I can sense one for sure, but its chi keep raising and fading and the other keeps disappearing and reappearing. Ryu thought. Could this be another crossover?
"Ryu!"
Ryu clears his head. "Oh. Coming." Ryu runs up to Ken and continues walking along side him.
Marvel dimension
"Professor?" Cyclops, leader of the X-Men with ability to shoot pulses of light from his eyes, walks down the hallway of the X-Men's 'Home for the Gifted'. "Professor?"
"What is it, Scott?" asks Jean Grey, Cyclops's fiancé. She walks towards Cyclops.
"I can't find the professor anywhere."
"Did you check Beast's lab? I thought Beast was going to show him something." Cyclops turns around and runs down the hallway. "Scott?"
Cyclops goes around the corridor. "Oh no!" Smoke was coming out the doorway of the lab. He runs in as Jean comes around the corridor.
Inside the lab, smoke fills the room and sparks fall the ceiling. Beast is in the corner of the lab knocked out. The fire is coming from a machine that has been thrown around and twisted out of shape; it's Xavier's hover-chair. Cyclops turns on the fire system and turns the emergency electrical switch next to the door. He stands at the door as the fire is put out.
"Scott?" Jean comes into the doorway. "Oh, god."
The fire goes out and Cyclops and Jean rushes over to Beast. "Beast!" Cyclops tries to wake him. "Beast!"
"It's okay, Scott." says Jean "Beast will be okay, he has all his life-signs."
Cyclops is relieved but is horrified again when he sees the hover-chair. "Jean, can you find the professor?"
Jean, using her telepathic ability, searches the building for him, the town, the state, the country, nothing. "I can't find him. Sorry, Scott."
"No!"
"Hey, hey. Where's the fire?" Wolverine comes in. He's a X-Man who has the ability to heal rapidly. Before he joined the X-Men, scientists in the Canadian Rockies were testing on him in a process of making an ultimate weapon. Wolverine was implanted with an adamantium skeleton and had his pass life erased from memory.
"With all this smoke, mes amis, I'll be surprise if you could find it," says Gambit. Gambit has the ability to 'charge' objects and cause them to explode. His favourite weapons are playing cards.
"Fire's out." Jean Grey tells them, she pauses and continues. "But the professor's missing."
"Chuck!" Wolverine looks towards the burnt twisted heap of metal and growls.
"What do you mean he's missing, Jean. I've been on surveillance duty all day and no came in or left the compound." Says Gambit. "Maybe Beast can tell us."
"Wolverine, Gambit, help me take Beast to the medical lab." Cyclops starts to pick up Beast shoulder. Wolverine and Gambit walk towards them.
"Wait." Wolverine stops and sniffs the air. "I smell something. (Sniff) Chuck. (Sniff) Someone I fought. (Sniff) And two others I never smelt before."
"Where they go?" asks Cyclops.
"Hmm, Beast is all over the place, Chuck enters and (Sniff) the other three don't enter or leave."
"Who could have done this?"
All three lift up Beast and carries him to the door. Gambit looks at the mess and up at the ceiling. "Hey, I don't recognize that camera."
Jean looks at it. "Beast installed that last week."
"Then why haven't I seen it before?"
"It's hooked up to the main computer for Beast to view past experiments."
"And it's on!" Cyclops notices the red light on the corner of the camera. "Let's hurry."

"Now Gohan, you can go play only when you're done your homework," says Chi-Chi, Gohan's mother.
"Aw, but Mom," complains Gohan.
"Now, now. It's not my fault you to had to leave for weeks on end to fight killer androids."
"Come on, Chi-Chi, Gohan has been through a lot. Not to mention that he saved the Earth from Cell," says Goku, Gohan's father.
"Yeah, Mom," says Gohan
"That's no reason not to miss on your studies," replied Chi-Chi. She goes into the kitchen. Gohan looks at Goku.
"Sorry little guy, but my hands are tied." Goku sits up and looks towards the door. He feels a power-level. "Well, here's Krillin."
The front door opens and, sure enough, Krillin is standing at the door.
"Hey, Krillin," says Gohan.
"Hey, why are you out of breath," asks Goku.
"Guys, I need (pant) to talk to you," replies Krillin.
Chi-Chi comes out if the kitchen, "Oh, hi Krillin. Do you want to stay for dinner? I made rice, a cake—."
"No thanks, Chi-Chi."
"So, is something wrong?" asks Goku.
"We (pant) have a problem."
Capcom dimension, Street Fighter realm
Ken and Ryu are walking again after stopping in a town for a meal. They are walking down the streets of the town.
"Man, you sure didn't eat much," says Ken.
"I'm just in deep thought," replied Ryu.
"You should have taken something to go."
"I won't be that hungry."
"Suit yourself." They continue down the street and turn into an alleyway. "I know I will be hungry later. I'm going to go look for something. I'll be back here in a few minutes."
Ryu watches Ken run off down the street. He looks down the alley and looks back at the street. He hears a tin can hit the ground in the alley. He glances back. Nothing. As he stares back the street again, a trashcan in the alley crashes to the ground. Ryu quickly turns around and still sees nothing. He decides to see if someone's down there.
As he walks down the alleyway, it gets darker. Only one wall is practically visible. He sees the trashcan on the ground. He stands in front of it and looks down the alley to see what could have down and returns to the trashcan. He becomes more puzzled unaware that a being was 'coming out of the wall'.
The being begins to move towards Ryu. Ryu quickly turns around and give the being a high kick to the head. The being is pushed back against the wall. "Who are you?" questions Ryu preparing for a fight. The being reviles himself in his visible form, a masked ninja with black and green clothing. "What the—." The ninja lets out a loud animal-like screech and dodges toward Ryu. The ninja throws a punch at him and is quickly blocked. Then a sidekick, mid-punch, and a leg-sweep and all were blocked as well. The ninja tried to land more kicks and punches but were blocked too. He then moves around in a rapid run and does a shoulder-slam behind Ryu that couldn't be blocked, pushing Ryu to the wall. Ryu turns around to fight again. The ninja is in his fighting stance waiting for Ryu to make the first move. The two dodge at each other. Ryu quickly does a Shinku Tatsumaki Senpukyaku (Powerful Hurricane Kick), which causes the ninja to get caught up in a miniature whirlwind. The ninja is thrown down the alley along the wall and hits another trashcan and falls on top of it.
"Now let's see who this is." He walks up to the recovering ninja and puts his hand on top of the mask. He pulls it off and is horrified to find a reptilian head. "Oh my God!" exclaims Ryu. The ninja moves his head forward shooting a green fluid. Ryu moves in time and delivers a punch to the side of the reptilian head knocking him out.
Ryu stands up and turns around. The spit has eaten through the brick wall. He then notices a movement in the wall. He moves closer to the wall. A roundhouse kick misses Ryu's head by inches and he moves back. As he prepares for another fight, he is held back by the reptilian ninja from behind. Out of the darkness comes a shadow. As it comes closer, he realises that it was another ninja whose clothing was completely black. He struggles to brake free as the black ninja raises his right hand to Ryu's chest. Ryu feels the dark hadou growing inside him. A sharp pain goes through out Ryu's body. The dark hadou begins growing rapidly. The pain increases then he realizes that the dark hadou was leaving him. The dark hadou was flowing into the black ninja. Ryu start to get tired and slowly passes out.

"Beast is starting to recover"
"Thanks, Jean," says Cyclops.
"Oh!" Beast starts to awake. "What happened? Huh? Charles?"
"Relax, Henry," Jean tries to calm him.
"What happened?" Beast moans.
"We were hoping you could fill us in on that," replied Wolverine. "We been trying to find a way to view your video files, except Cajun keeps on screwing up."
"Look who's talking, you're the one who kept on going into the X-Men data base files," replied Gambit.
"Quit you two," commands Cyclops.
"I can't remember much," says Beast, "I was showing Charles one of my experiments. As I was getting something, the professor screamed my name and that's all I remember."
"Where can we find your videos?" asks Wolverine.
Beast gets off the bed and goes over to the computer. "Go here." He points at a file.
"I knew it was there all along," says Gambit.
"Sure you did, Sugar," says Rogue as she enters the room. Rogue is a mutant and member of the X-Men who has the ability to steal energy from people just by touching them. She can steal other mutant abilities as well. "Storm and Jubilee are still at the mall. Is something wrong?"
"The professor is missing," says Cyclops.
"What?! Why haven't you told us sooner."
"We're still trying to find out what exactly happened."
"Got it," says Beast. "Now fast forward to two hours ago." The computer screen shows the lab with the doorway close to the right of the middle of the angle it was set at. Xavier and Beast are talking. "I turn around to go get something." He does. Static then fills the screen. "What?" questions Beast, "What's going on?" Ten seconds later, the static fades away and the room is in chaos as Cyclops discovered it. "Go back to the beginning again."
"What do you think caused the static?" asks Cyclops.
"It could be from the teleporting object that the kidnappers used to get in and out," says Jean.
"But why would someone want the professor and have access to that type of technology?" asks Rogue.
"For some reason, I don't think it was technology," adds Wolverine. "Here's the video again."
"Good," says Beast, "now, make the speed of the video go one-quarter the rate it was previously."
The video is on the screen again. The image becomes static. After eight seconds, the static fades slightly.
"Look," says Beast, "the image is back slightly." The screen shows a blackish figure come from where Beast was. Xavier is still in his hover-chair, the figure walks towards him, but his attention is set off screen to the right. Another but paler figure comes from the right grabs Xavier out of the hover-chair with his left arm and holds his right about one-and-a-half feet from Xavier's face. A long pointed object appears from the wrist of the hand.
"A claw," exclaims Rogue.
"No," says Wolverine, "it's more like a sword blade."
The static returns. Eight seconds later, it fades once again. Electrical wires hanging from the ceiling. The second figure is not near Xavier, but there was something else wrong.
"He's standing," says Cyclops.
Xavier is standing on his own two feet even though he was permanently paralysed from the waist down. Xavier is standing next to the building hover-chair. The two figures come towards him and stop. Xavier crosses his arms on his chest and… the static returns. Several seconds later, the static completely fades and the destroyed room returns.
"Something's not right," says Cyclops.
"Who could they have been," questions Beast, "It doesn't make much sense. Does anyone have an idea who it could be?"
"I do," replied Wolverine.
DragonBall dimension, Earth realm
"What do you mean Frieza's back," asks Goku, "I killed him on Namek and Trunks killed him when he came to Earth as a cyborg."
"It's like I said," replied Krillin. Krillin, Goku, and Gohan are flying to a point several hundred miles away. "Frieza came to where I ran into Piccolo and he claims that we're all going to suffer at the hands of a man with the powers of a god."
"He should have been no problem after our encounter with Cell."
"Yes, I know, Goku. But Piccolo did challenge him to a fight. Frieza says it wasn't time for it."
"So a battle later? Is that it?"
"Yes, but there's more. After Frieza refuse the challenge at the time, Piccolo got mad and decided to fight anyway. As Piccolo approached him, he summoned a warrior out to fight Piccolo."
"One of his alien henchmen?"
"No, he was human, or most of him was, he was able to shoot ice from his hands."
"Ice?" asks Goku
"I don't get it Goku. He was black except for his eyes and fingers and he wore a blue vest over top."
"No one we know."
"Apparently he has new henchmen, and that human froze Piccolo when he tried to hit him. Then I joined the fight. As I was getting ready to throw a Distructo Disc, I could have thrown it but I was pulled out of the sky. And as I was trying to stand up, there was another henchman only one had red instead of blue. He had some kind power where he could grab things without touch them."
"Sounds like telekinesis," added Gohan.
"He continually used his power to slam me into the ground," says Krillin.
"Is Piccolo okay?" asks Gohan.
"I don't know. I left to go get you guys."
"Well, hurry then. Piccolo might need us," says Goku. "Faster guys."

"Ryu!… Ryu!"
Ryu opens his eyes, Ken is kneeling next to him. "What happened to you?"
"I'm not really sure," replied Ryu. He looks around, he is no longer in the alleyway. "Where am I?"
"We're in the woods outside of the town. Geez, I leave you for a few minutes to get some food and I come back to find you like this."
"Someone attacked me."
"Probably some homeless guy looking for money." He looks back. "Hey, I brought back someone who wanted to meet you. Apparently, she's one of your biggest fans."
"Hi, Ryu!" yells Sakura. "I've been looking forward to challenge you for a long time, but I guess that will have to wait." Ryu sits up on the ground. "You should be resting."
"I need to take a walk." Ryu stands up and walks away down towards a clearing.
"I hope he's okay," says Sakura.
"Don't worry, it's Ryu, he'll be fine.
Down the path, Ryu tries to remember what happened in the alley. He can't remember all the details but he can't get rid of the face of the reptilian ninja.
"Ryu."
Ryu stops on the path. He looks around but can't see anyone.
"Ryu."
"Show yourself," yells Ryu. He looks around then looks forward and sees a faded image of a figure. "Who are you?"
"I am Lord Raiden, god of thunder and lightning and protector of the realm of Earth. I've come to ask for your help"
"A god comes to a martial artist for help." Ryu walks around Raiden. "What can I do that a god can't?"
"Onslaught has returned." Ryu stops. "and he has more powerful than you have remember before in the third crossover of your realm and the Marvel realm."
"What do you mean?" Ryu turns around to look at Raiden
"He has gained a partnership with an Elder God to take over all reality"
A few yards away, Ken and Sakura are coming down the path.
"Are you sure Ryu's okay?" asks Sakura.
"Yes, yes, I'm sure!" exclaimed Ken, "That's like the tenth time you asked me."
"Hey, Ken. It's Ryu." Sakura points out to where Ryu is. Ken and Sakura can't see Raiden. "What's he doing?"
"He's talking to himself."
"Are you sure he's okay?"
"Suddenly, I'm not so sure."
"Ryu, do you accept all the challenges, responsibilities, and consequences to save all reality in the tournament of Mortal Kombat?"
"Yes, I accept."
Raiden fades out of Ryu's sight. A glowing circle appears in the ground. In the centre is a dragon symbol.
"What's he doing?" asks Ken.
A gust of wind surrounds Ryu and increases in speed. Sand-like materials float in the wind, causing Ken and Sakura to not be able to see him anymore.
"Ryu?" asks Sakura.
Suddenly the wind disappears and the sand falls. Ryu is gone.
"Ryu?! Sakura runs out to where Ryu was. Only the grass on the ground remains. "Ryu!" Sakura sobs.
"Ryu!" exclaims Ken in a near-whisper. "RYYYYYUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!"
Marvel dimension
"Onslaught?! You think that Onslaught has hunted down Charles to merge with him again even though he was beaten before."
"Hold it, Beast. I'm just saying what I think. That would explain the scent I noticed before," says Wolverine.
"But it's obvious that he had help to get this far," adds Cyclops.
"Maybe but what they want that could so important as to kidnapping the professor?" questions Beast. As Beast continues to talk about his theories, Wolverine hears something.
"Wolverine"
Wolverine turns around and walks away from the group.
"Logan. Over here, Logan."
Wolverine looks to his right.
"Now the last time you encountered Onslaught, you have teamed up another group to help stop him," says Beast.
"Yes," says Cyclops, "their leader is Ryu, a martial artist and street fighter. He had several others with them though."
"Hmm," says Rogue, "Sounds like you know him well."
"Remember when Apocalypse attack both realities at once. Ryu and several other street fighters came here to help us defeat him."
"Not to mention the time that Apocalypse teamed with one of their villains as well, a cyborg-devil," adds Jean.
"But we still don't know who was in that room with Onslaught," adds Beast.
"Hey, Wolverine. What are you doing over there," asks Gambit. Wolverine continues looking at Raiden, which everyone thinks is the wall. "Wolverine."
"I accept," says Wolverine.
"Yeah, yeah, I accept too," says Gambit trying to crack a joke. Wolverine turns towards the group. "What you doing, Wolverine."
"I'm on a mission," replies Wolverine. Everyone becomes confused.
The dragon symbol appears under Wolverine's feet and a wind picks up surrounding him. Sand begins to float in the wind.
"I'm going to save the professor." The sand blocks everyone's sight of Wolverine. Then the wind dies, Wolverine's gone.
Everyone's shock at what they just seen. Except for Gambit when he realises that he too is standing a dragon symbol.
"Huh, mes amis!" Rogue turns to Gambit to find that a wind was picking up around Gambit. "I can't move my feet."
"Sugar!" Rogue dives in trying to pull Gambit out. Sand fills the wind and cover both Gambit and Rogue. The wind fades and both are gone.
Everyone's even more shocked to see their friends vanish.
DragonBall dimension, Earth realm
Krillin, Goku, and Gohan find Piccolo thawed out on the ground. Piccolo is furious.
"Mr. Piccolo, are you okay?" asks Gohan
"Yeah, sure kid," replies Piccolo. He stands up. "I suppose Krillin told you everything."
"Yeah," replies Goku, "So Frieza's back, eh?"
"Yeah, and he's got others."
"Yes, we know. Hey, Krillin says that he says that we will suffer at the hands of a man with the power of a god. What do you think he meant?"
"I—I'm not sure what he meant, but I don't think he was referring to himself."
"Wow, you think?!"
"He was talking about his master"
"Who said that?" asks Goku.
"Dad, over there." Gohan points to a faded figure.
"Who or what are you?" asks Piccolo.
"I'm Lord Raiden, god of thunder and lightning and protector to the realm of Earth. Similar to your guardian of Earth whom you call Dante, except I'm more universal."
"What's your business here?" asks Gohan trying to sound tough.
"I've come to ask your help to stop evil beings who have come from your dimension and countless others."
"What do you mean 'his master'?" asks Goku.
"Frieza has been created to serve as a powerful warrior to a much more powerful being known as Onslaught. Fortunately you will be join by other fighters to stop your enemies as you will theirs."
"What if we don't want to go," asks Krillin.
"By doing so, you forfeit your place in the tournament and decrease your fellow fighters' chances of victory and survival. You cannot join after Onslaught has defeat each fighter."
"Well, I'm in, let's do this," says Goku.
"Do you accept all the challenges, responsibilities, and consequences to save all reality in the tournament of Mortal Kombat?"
"Yes, I accept," says Goku.
"Me too," says Piccolo.
"Me three, ha, ha," says Gohan.
"No, Gohan this could too dangerous."
"Aw, but dad…"
"Sorry, but if we need you, we will come get you. Krillin, can you take Gohan home and take care of the DragonBalls? We don't know what will happen if Frieza gets them."
"No problem, Goku," says Krillin, "Come on, Gohan."
Krillin goes into the air. Gohan pauses with a disappointed look on his face.
"I'll come back, Gohan. That's a promise," says Goku to comfort Gohan. Gohan flies up to Krillin.
The wind starts to put up around Goku and Piccolo. "I'll come back, Gohan!"
Gohan flies straight and turns around to the sand scatter.
"That's a promise."
