Chapter 1: The Unexpected Meeting

In one of the more remote areas of Japan, Ryu was standing under a waterfall while meditating as he had his eyes closed. After a while passed, Ryu's opened very quickly as he then felt something in the air. Afterwards, Ryu stepped out from underneath the waterfall as he looked up to the sky.

Old Man's Voice: "You felt it too, didn't you?"

Ryu looked to see the voice came from his master, Gouken.

Ryu: "Master... what is happening right now? All of sudden, I got this great chill up my spine."

Gouken: "Yes... this feeling tells me there is some disturbance occuring at this very moment, but of what, I cannot say."

Ryu just put on a look of concern.

Gouken: "In any case, we must be prepared for what comes. A feeling this may be, but sometimes, all it takes is a feeling for something to happen."

Ryu: "Just like the feeling I get from the Satsui no Hado within me. I wonder if this disturbance is connected to it?"

Gouken: "...Come... let's got for a walk."

After that, the scene switches to Ryu and Gouken walking together down a dirt road.

Gouken: "You know, your training is coming very far."

Ryu: "Thank you, master, but I know I have a long way to go."

Gouken: "We all do. Life is not always about fulfilling our goals, but learning new experiences from our journey."

Ryu: "Yes, and because of that, I feel my journey will never truly end."

Gouken: "No one person's journey ever truly ends."

Ryu: "That's too true. But... about this disturbance... I wonder if your brother has felt it."

Gouken: "I wouldn't doubt it. He's always wanted to seek the ultimate opponent, and something like this would definitely catch his attention."

Ryu: "If that's the case, and I must find out what this disturbance is... I know he and I will run into each other again."

Gouken: "If that is to be the case, then you know what you must do to deal with it."

Ryu: "I know, and I won't back down."

Gouken: "I know you won't."

Ryu: "Still, with what is happening at the moment, I wonder if I should get in contact with Ken about this? I know he's a father now, and needs to spend time with his son, but I feel that without him, I might be too powerless to do anything about what could happen very soon."

Gouken: "Decide well what you want to do, Ryu. Your friends can always be a strong asset, as well as a grand weakness."

Ryu: "I cherish the friends I've made, and their respect for the battle. I will never forget that, even if I do succumb to the Satsui no Hado."

Gouken: "Then don't if that is what you cherish the most in life."

Ryu: "Yes, I'll get in contact with Ken, and maybe even Chun-Li, and see about being prepared for what is to come our way."

Gouken: "Until then, let us focus on the joy of peace and all of its beauty."

Ryu: *smiles* "Yes... something good to keep us calm for now. This is always relaxing, so let's just focus on this right now."

Ryu and Gouken continue their walk, though unknown to them, Pious is watching them from a distance.

In the next scene, we're taken to Bowser's Castle where Mario busts in, followed by Luigi. Standing in their way is a large amount of the Bowser's forces, consisting of Goombas, Koopa Troopas, Hammer Bros., Magikoopas, Bob-ombs, Shy Guys, Dry Bones and several other types of enemies.

Mario: "Ready, Luigi?"

Luigi: "Ready, Mario!"

After that verbal exchange, both Mario and Luigi readied their hammers and charged in to start attacking the enemies, who charged at them as well. While Bowser's forces seemed to be greater in number, they did stand a chance against the Mario Bros., who were smacking the enemies around with their hammers, as well as flinging fireballs to basically mop the floor with the enemies. Afterwards, all of Bowser's forces has been defeated by the Mario Bros., who wasted no time to keep moving forward, smacking several others that got in their way as they got further and further into the castle. After a while, they reached the throne room where Bowser was sitting on his throne and had Peach tied up as she was right next to him.

Peach: "Mario! Luigi!"

Mario: "Don't worry, Peach! We'll save you!"

Bowser: "Not this time, Mario! This time, I'm going to squash you flat for sure!"

Mario: "You just never learn, King Bowser! We'll just have to clobber you for this... again!"

Bowser: *leaps off of his throne, and in front of the Bros.* "Not this time! Prepare to be in a world of hurt!"

Bowser starts off his assault on the Mario Bros. by breating out a stream of fire at them, which they avoid by jumping really high. Afterwards, the land on Bowser, stomping him on the head very hard before backflipping away and landing on the ground to prepare to charge at Bowser, who's still reeling from the attack the brothers did on him, as they begin to smack him around with their hammers. Bowser tries to retaliate with a flurry of punches, but nothing seems to work as Mario and Luigi keep dodging his attacks while smacking him around with theirs. After a great deal of fighitng, Bowser was defeated.

Bowser: "Not... again."

Wasting no time, Mario and Luigi went up to rescue Peach as they untied her.

Mario: "Are you okay, Princess?"

Peach: "As long you're around, Mario, I'll always be okay."

Peach then kisses Mario on the cheek, which makes him blush brightly. Luigi just looks downtrodden.

Peach: *sees Luigi* "Don't think I've forgotten about you as well, Luigi."

Peach then kisses Luigi on the cheek as well, causing him to blush and giggle.

Peach: "Let's go home. I've had enough of being kidnapped for one day."

Mario: "Yeah, let's get outta' here."

Luigi: "Okey dokey."

Afterwards, Mario, Luigi and Peach leave Bowser's Castle, though unknown to them, Wesker is watching them from a distance with a very smug smile.

Meanwhile, Link and Zelda are walking around in the castle garden looking at flowers.

Zelda: "So beautiful. I just enjoy these times of peace."

Link: "Yeah, it's truly is, especially when I don't have to worry about fulfilling my destiny as the Hero of Hyrule. Just taking this time to enjoy things is so great."

Just then, three columns of light shine in front of them, which catches both the attention of Link and Zelda immediately.

Link: "What in the...?"

Before Link can finish his sentence, three women emerge from the columns of light, a woman in red from the red light, a woman in blue from the blue light and a woman in green from the green light.

Woman in red: "Hello, Hero and Princess of destiny."

Link: "Who are you?"

Zelda: "Could it be...? Are you the... goddesses who created Hyrule?"

Woman in red: "That would be correct. I am Din."

Woman in blue: "You may call me Nayru."

Woman in green: "And I am Farore."

Zelda: "Amazing... to actually be able to meet the goddesses in person is just incredible. It truly is an honor."

Nayru: "We should be more honored in meeting you two, since you were the ones to save Hyrule from the disaster that overtook it."

Link: "Well, it's great and all meeting the goddesses, but... what even brings you here to meet us?"

Farore: "Certainly down to business, aren't you?"

Din: "We'll just be frank about it, then. Hero and Princess of destiny... we need your help."

To Be Concluded in Chapter 2.
