As Joshua embark on his epic journey to find the other Chaos Emeralds, his arrival was spread across the world of Street Fighter. Even reaching the depths of the base of the criminal organization, Shadaloo, where M. Bison, along with the other two of Shadaloo's Kings, Balrog and Vega, waited.

When Bison heard that someone from another world had arrived in their world, he smiled evilly. He knew it was time to put their new plan for world conquest into motion.

And so, Shadaloo send Eggman a message...

As Dr. Eggman, along with Orbot, Cubot, and Metal Sonic, had arrived in their world, too, the two dark forces of the Eggman Empire and Shadaloo have gathered.

Soon, Eggman had teamed up with Shadaloo and M. Bison - and when he did - it would determine the fate of the world of Street Fighter.


Although Joshua was hot, tired, and COMPLETELY lost, nothing could stop him...

...for about a few seconds, for he was completely exhausted as he lay and felt down to the ground.

"Sooo...hungry...", Joshua groaned.

Then he passed out. As he did, a shadow loomed over him.


The Matsuda House - Rio de Janeiro, Brazil...

After a long while, Joshua finally awoke. Everything around him looked different.

Instead of the forest in New Zealand, he was now at someone's home in Brazil.

That someone was a passionate young man named Sean Matsuda, who had brought to his home.

"Where am I?" Joshua asked Sean.

"Brazil," Sean answered. "My house, which won't be your refuge much longer if you don't-"

"Hey, Sean!" a female voice called out to Sean.

"It's my sister," Sean cried. "You got to hide! Quick, in the closet!"

"Closet?" Joshua asked in confusion.

But before Joshua could ask more questions, Sean hides Joshua in the closet right before his sister, Laura Matsuda, appeared.

"Sean," Laura called as she looked around when she finally noticed her brother listening to music with his earbuds and read a magazine.

Laura didn't know yet that Sean was hiding Joshua and acting natural.

"Sean," Laura said to her brother, "It's time to start your Matsuda style electric shock training!"

Sean was NOT ready for that as she had already screamed in pain by Laura trapping him with a headlock, "GAAAAHHHH! Would you quit it already?"

Laura soon noticed an article on Sean's magazine, "'Masters' Online Karate...'"

"Don't even think about it or bother," Sean said to his sister, "I mean, if you tried doing that with Matsuda Jiu-Jitsu, no one would come. Well, maybe, if only you got famous. Like if you went and beat a lot of fighters like Ken did."

That gave Laura a bright idea as she said, "Not a bad plan! You can be really sharp sometimes! Well, I'm going out!"

And with that, Laura went out on her 'Matsuda Jiu-Jitsu Fighting Tour', while Sean had went back to his room to see if Joshua is still hidden in the closet.

But just as Sean had got back, he noticed that Joshua had came out of the closet and was right in front of him.

Joshua had overheard the conversation between the Matsuda siblings. He felt like this happened before, but that's another story.

"You better tell me what's just happened before I lose my patience," Joshua said to Sean.

"Uh,...that wouldn't be necessary," Sean reassured.

"Last thing I remember, I was trekking through the forest at New Zealand, in the middle of dawn, beginning my journey," Joshua explained. "And then, I just couldn't moved on any longer and then you came into my light. So I'm gonna ask you one last time. Where am I?!"

"You're in Brazil," Sean answered as he opened the window for Joshua to see the city of Rio de Janeiro. He was amazed.

"Wow," Joshua said in excitement. "I loved to stay and chat, but-," Joshua began to talk, but as he turned to Sean, he noticed another Chaos Emerald in his hand.

"Hey," Joshua asked. "Where did you get that Chaos Emerald?"

"It was send to my house," Sean explained. "I don't know why though, but I bet my sister wants it."

"Well, they don't belong to your world nor mine," Joshua replied. "But could you give the emerald to me?"

"OK," Sean answered with a more confident smile, giving Joshua the emerald, "You know about these emeralds, but please don't bump into my sister. I hope she didn't cause trouble again."

"Oh, please," Joshua said. "How can someone so hot and sweet like your sister can cause trouble?"


Hillside Plaza - Rio de Janerio, Brazil...

After retrieving the second Chaos Emerald from Sean, Joshua continued his journey.

As he went outside, he was in Rio de Janeiro. He soon contacted Sonic and Tails again on the Miles Electric and told them he had found the second emerald.

"This Rio de Janeiro looked familiar," Joshua added and noticed that the world-famous Christ the Redeemer statue is replaced with a different statue resembling the FIFA World Cup Trophy, "I didn't know they had a different statue like that."

Then, he noticed the graffiti on the walls, "And all the graffiti on the wall makes me really ticked for some reason."

"You're right, Josh," Sonic replied. "This place is giving you a case of Déjà vu or something."

Suddenly, they were interrupted by the sound the people screaming and running as Joshua turned to see that they were attacked by...Egg Fighters!

"Egghead's robots," Joshua quickly remembered, "If they're here, that means..."

But Joshua would worry about that later, right now he had to save those people from Eggman's robots.

While that was going on, Laura was searching for stronger fighters, "Let's see. Is there anyone strong around here...ah!"

Laura finally noticed Joshua fighting off Eggman's robots, and decided to help him out.

"Uh-oh," Joshua exclaimed as he see Laura, "And I thought I'm wasting away here."

After all the robot-thrashing, Joshua and Laura introduced themselves.

"Thanks for the assist," Joshua thanked her.

"No problem," Laura replied. "I thought my brother was hiding something from me. Why would someone like you be here?"

"Well," Joshua explained, "I've been looking for the Chaos Emeralds that were scattered and I happen to found one of them that had been sent to you."

"So you asked Sean to give you that," Laura said in suspense and an abrasive reaction, "I don't what that was all about, but if you tried to steal from my brother, I'll make you regret it!"

"Well, then, you are pretty strong," Joshua said, intrigued. "I think you want a match with me."

At first, Joshua tried to pacify things, but seeing as how Laura entered her fighting stance, he didn't see why not.

"What if you'd treat me to a meal if I fight you?" Joshua asked.

"That's great," Laura said, excited. "I knew you'd be fun."

And so, they had a brief match.

During that, Joshua didn't know what to do, but he was so distracted by Laura, her attacks, and even her clothes that she had use the best of her abilities and managed to come out on top.

Joshua, who felt and looked electrocuted and fuzzy by Laura's electricity attacks, collapsed and was amazed as he said, "That...was...REALLY AWESOME!"

"Thanks," Laura replied. "That was everything I wanted!"

Joshua finally got up for another round, "So the Brazilian Matsuda Jiu-Jitsu artist still has the hots and ability to fight even after all that!"

But before he can do that, Joshua paused for a moment and decided to asked, "By the way, I gotta ask. Where did you get these electric powers with your attacks? Yours are very similar to Blanka's."

"I don't know," Laura answered. "But thanks."

Soon, Sean, who had saw the robot attack and the fight, went up to them, "Both of you, stop!"

"It's okay," Joshua reassured Sean. "We stopped fighting."

Then, Sean turned to his sister, "Sis, listen to me. This guy saved their lives."

Sean indicates Eggman's robots broken nearby as he continued, "Josh saved them from those robots!"

Laura finally started to realize things, "Ohhh! Is that the case? I see, then why didn't you tell me earlier?"

"Because you didn't let me," Sean replied.

"Now that I found the second emerald," Joshua said. "I need to find a better place to crash. A refuge, I might said."

"Sure thing," Laura said to Joshua. "Mind if I tag along with you? My name's Laura Matsuda. You just saw my skills. So, if you seen Ken Masters, would you tell him that my skill can be of help and let me promote Matsuda Jiu-Jitsu by using his online karate class? Deal?"

"Uh,..." Joshua replied. "Deal. I don't see why not."

Laura cheered excitedly as she hugged Joshua real tightly and said, "All right! I'm going to make Matsuda Jiu-Jitsu world-famous! Thank you!"

'You're welcome," Joshua said, sounding weakly and lovingly from Laura's big hug.

"Are you crazy?" Sean asked, stunned.

"Come on, man, she's been doing this all her life," Joshua replied to Sean. "And don't think about ruining her dreams."

Sean groaned in dismay and face-palmed in his face.

"Now where can I find the perfect place?" Joshua asked, pondering.

"I think I know just the place...," Laura said to Joshua as she had found the answer.


Estate at Noon - Kanzuki Estate, Japan...

As they headed to the Kanzuki Estate, Joshua explained his dire journey and situation to Laura.

"The funny thing is I don't have any idea taking on this so-called 'Shadaloo'," Joshua said to Laura, "The goal is get the means to find out what Eggman's up to in your world and with Shadaloo, contact and bring Sonic and his friends here, and beat him together."

"Well, that explains a lot," Laura replied.

"So, uh, are you sure you're taking me to this girl named Karin Kanzuki?" Joshua asked.

"Yeah, I heard she's pretty strong. I hope that's true," Laura said.

As Joshua looked at a large, Japanese-styled mansion, his jaws were dropped.

"This place is enormous!" Joshua exclaimed. "And who said people just run here from the airport?"

"It's cool, isn't it?" Laura said.

"I wonder...if Karin is a hot, spoiled, and rich type of girl," Joshua said. "All right, I'll make it just a friendly greeting at first."

And that's when Joshua and Laura had met Karin Kanzuki and with her, the head steward of the Kanzuki Family, Shibasaki.

"Ciao!" Laura greeted.

Karin and Shibasaki turned to see Laura and Joshua went up to them.

"And you are?" Karin asked.

"I'm Laura Matsuda," Laura introduced herself. "Successor of Matsuda Jiu-Jitsu!"

"I take it you're Karin, yes?" Joshua asked Karin as he went up to her.

"Why, yes...and you?" Karin asked.

"I'm Joshua Sumter! A visitor from another world," Joshua introduced himself. "I come in peace."

Then, Joshua realized that he should've said that line for it just sounded a little...alien.

Umm, Joshua thought. I guess I should've said that.

"And why has a visitor from another world come here?" Karin asked Joshua.

"It's a long story. I won't bore you with it," Joshua replied. "In any case, Laura here would appreciate a match. She's trying to promote Matsuda Jiu-Jitsu, so she's fighting with only the best fighters. That's why she's here. She wish to test her mettle against you."

"Yeah," Laura agreed. "What he said!"

"By the way," Joshua added. "Could I ask you for a favor?"

"And what favor might that be?" Karin asked.

"Do you know about a Chaos Emerald that was send to you," Joshua asked as he mimes the shape of a Chaos Emerald, "I need you to kindly give it to me."

"All right, then," Karin replied as she enters her fighting stance, "You can fight for it!"

Joshua didn't like where this is going as he taken a step back and asked, "Uh, can't we at least settle things peacefully?"

"You must get what you want on your own merit," Karin said as Shibasaki nodded in approval, "That is the Kanzuki Family motto!"

I knew I heard those lines somewhere before, Joshua thought, But what?

"Don't worry," Laura said to her new friend, "I'll fight for the prize!"

"Your proposal and match both sound interesting," Karin said. "I accept."

And so, the two girls fight in a match as Joshua watched, standing next to Shibasaki.

After that, Karin was impressed, "So many moves. That was quite interesting."

"I know, right?" Laura agreed. "But you were extremely quick at figuring them out."

"Well," Joshua said to Shibasaki, "that was a little anticlimactic, don't you think?"


Later, in the dining hall of the Kanzuki Estate, Joshua was soon eating some chicken at the table.

"Thanks for the meal," Joshua said to Karin. "I haven't been eaten for, like, ever!"

"So tell me...," Karin began to ask, "Why did you come to our world?"

"Like I said, it's a long story and I won't bore you with it," Joshua replied. "But if you insist..."

Speaking normally, Joshua told Karin everything about how he got whirled into their world, how he journeyed to find the Chaos Emeralds, how he was friends with Ryu, Ken, and Chun-Li*, and even about his other dimensional friend, Sonic the Hedgehog, his allies, and archenemy, Eggman.

* Again, it happened in The Project X Zone Movie 2: Fate of Many Worlds

"So you came here to find these 'Chaos Emeralds' for your friend, Sonic?" Karin said. "I'm very impressed."

"Yep," Joshua said as he had just finished his food. "You don't know the half of it."

"I was skeptical. We don't know much about alternate worlds and realities," Karin replied. "But seeing as you're a good friend of Ryu, Mr. Masters, and Chun-Li...I'd like to invite you to be a guest of the Kanzuki Family."

"A house guest?" Joshua asked, amazed. "Thanks!"

"I believe you also deserved this," Karin added as she give Joshua the third Chaos Emerald.

"All right," Joshua exclaimed. "Three down, four to go!"

Just then, Joshua and Karin said goodbye to Laura as they noticed she's leaving the Kanzuki Estate.

"You're leaving already?" Joshua asked Laura.

"Yep," Laura said. "Like you, I'm going to continue making Matsuda Jiu-Jitsu famous. You take care."

"You too," Joshua replied.

Then, Laura turned to Karin and asked, "By the way, if you happen to know anyone who's really strong, could you introduce me to them?"

"Perhaps...," Karin replied.

And with that, Laura left the Kanzuki Estate.

Just then, moments later, Joshua had heard two female voices.

"What did you say? Don't act so arrogant!" The first female voice appeared. "You picking a fight with me?!"

"Arrogant?! I've been working here longer than you have," a second female voice appeared as well. "And then you came in acting all bossy."

Joshua see that those voices belonged to Rainbow Mika, a female pro-wrestler, and Ibuki, a teenage girl and ninja from the Glade of Ninjas, who were bickering loudly. They glare and growl at each other, even as they almost went to a table that Joshua was sitting at.

"I beat you to a pulp!" Rainbow Mika replied angrily to Ibuki.

"I'm the one who'd beat you to a pulp!" Ibuki said as well.

"WOAH, woah, woah!" Joshua exclaimed as he tried to break up the fight. "Would you girls just knock it off?!"

Ibuki and Rainbow Mika were soon turned to see Joshua.

"Who are you?" Rainbow Mika asked Joshua in confusion.

"Wow...he's cute," Ibuki said, lovingly.

Karin soon came to them for introductions, "Everybody, this is Joshua Sumter. Joshua, meet my guests."

"My name is Rainbow Mika," Mika introduced herself as she shook Joshua's hand. "It's so very nice to meet you, Josh!"

"I'm Ibuki...," Ibuki introduced herself as well to Joshua.

"Oy!" A comical glutton and freeloader, Birdie, had just came in, "I am so starving!"

"Is that a giant thug?!" Joshua asked in shock and terror.

"Oh no," Karin answered. "It's only Birdie, another guest of mine."

Birdie then noticed Joshua, "And just who are you?! Doing here, eaten up a meal."

"Really? Have you seen yourself? Why do you have those chains?" Joshua asked.

"Are you having a laugh with me, mate?" Birdie replied, "And I thought someone like you didn't get invited."

"Now, everyone, listen," Karin said as she got everyone's attention, "Joshua here is from another world."

"Another world?" Mika and Ibuki asked in unison.

"I invited him for the party because he's a little freaked out about being in our world," Karin added.

Joshua nodded.

"Gee," Mika replied. "That does explain everything."

"Come on, Joshua," Ibuki said to him with a smile, "You can sit next to me at the table."

"You have a lovely home," Joshua replied to Karin.

"I'll have someone take you to your guest room," Karin said with a laugh.


Party Time - Kanzuki Estate, Japan...

And so, that night, Joshua finds himself in one heck of a party.

He was sitting with Ibuki and Birdie, who is pigging out with some chickens, at a table nearby.

He sees Karin talking business with her guests.

He then see Rainbow Mika and Laura at the ring of the New York fighting tournament with the Russian wrestler, the famous Red Cyclone, Zangief; and Alex, a New York wrestler, on TV. They had a thrilling tag team match: Zangief and Rainbow Mika vs. Laura and Alex.

Joshua can see that life was pretty good...almost.
