Intro. 1
Mt. Poaztu...
"Come on, Goten. You can do better than that."
The child Sayian charged at his father with blinding fury. But in the end, he was smacked down to the grass. He slowly straightened up off of the ground.
"No fair."
Goku floated down by him, "Hey don't worry about it. I'm sure you'll beat me one day. Huh?"
Standing by a nearby tree, a hooded figure was looking at them. He began to come near to them.
"Greetings Goku."
"Huh? Who are you? And how do you know my name?"
The figure stopped moving, his face still unseen beneath the hood, "I know a lot about you, Goku. Your victory over Majin Buu was excellent. You are the greatest warrior in this universe."
"Hey, how do you know about that? And what do you mean in this universe?"
"Heh, you'll do just fine."

Secluded Waterfall, Japan
As long as there is breath in my body, I will continue to fight.
"I'm glad you think so."
Ryu blinked in surprised and turned around. There, a robed hooded figure stood behind him.
"The legendary Ryu. We meet at last."
"Who are you?"
"Let's just say someone who likes a good fight."
Ryu clenched his fists, "If you're challenging me, I accept."
The figure gave a short laugh, "I'm glad you say so."

_____________________
Koji Estate, Japan
Five boys were gathered outside of the house, talking to each other.
"So what are you going to do, Ryo?"
Ryo thought briefly, "Well, I'm going to go to college in a few months."
Kento looked over to him, "That sounds good, but isn't it going to be tough?"
Ryo smiled, "Hey, don't worry about it. Compared to the Dynasty, college sounds pretty tame."
"Yeah, I hear ya." Sage agreed
"I don't know."
That response came from a hooded figure that was sitting atop a tree.
"I hear those exams are a nightmare."
Ryo looked up at the visitor, "What the...? Who are you?"
"Do not fear. I am not from the Dynasty, Ryo of Wildfire."
"Hey, how do you know who I am? Huh?"
The dark figure jumped down and stood before them. As he did, a blue symbol glowed within the darkness of the hood. At the same time, Ryo's kanji virtue glowed on his forehead.
"I see. Our powers are somewhat similar."
"Who are you?"
"You will know in time. But right now..."

Temple of Light, China
"Thank you, but my place is here as Earths champion of Mortal Kombat."
"Then I wish you well, Liu. Farewell."
The portal closed and the Edenian princess disappeared, leaving Liu Kang alone.
"Farewell, Princess Kitana."
"That must have been hard."
Liu Kang turned to meet a cloaked figure behind him. The figure did not move, but stood against the wall.
"But you are Earths champion. Shinnok's defeat is not a task any mortal could do. Your victory over the fallen elder god was truly an amazing feat, Liu Kang."
"Who are you? And how do you know all of this?"
"You'll know soon enough."

Beach outside Space Knight HQ
D-Boy stood alone on the beach, contemplating the event that unfolded over the past few months.
So it's over. No, not completely. Even without a leader, the Radham will continue to attack. I just wish I could do something about it. But without my crystal, I can't become Blade anymore. Aki and the others think I should just relax and let them handle it. But I feel so...helpless.
"You should listen to your friends."
The green-haired man turned to meet a darkly cloaked figure standing beside him, looking out into the water.
"Right now, that is the best course of action. You must be patient."
D-Boy examined him cautiously, "Who are you?"
"Stay calm. I am not Radham, not am I a tekkaman."
D-Boy narrowed his eyes, "Something doesn't feel right about you."
"Well, I'm not exactly from around here, D-Boy. Or do you prefer Tekkaman Blade?"
"Who are you?"
The figure strode forward toward the water, "A person who understands you. What it's like. Although I never lost my memory before. But enough about me. You are the main concern."
"What do you want?"
The figure suddenly turned sharply, "Blade. And I will get him."
