Intro. 2
Midgar (or what's left of it anyway)
A small group of people walked into the city. Despite what happened, the city still stood, just barely.
Yuffie examined the area, "Man, this place is trashed."
"Yeah, no question. Being beneath both Meteor and Holy must have been terrifying for these people." Tifa agreed.
Cid lit his cigarette, "It's amazing they all survived this."
Red XIII added, "The influence of the Lifestream, no doubt."
Cloud came forward, "We all were lucky to survive all of this. But at least it's finally over."
"For now, Cloud Strife. But who knows what the future has in store for you?"
Everyone all turned around to see a dark hooded figure standing on top of one of the ruins.
"Who are you? And how do you know me?"
The figure jumped down, "Come now. The guy that defeated the mighty Sephiroth? I'm surprised more do not know about you."
"Who are you?"
The figure stepped forward slightly, "A good question. But the answer will come later. Until then..."
Shrrraaaannnnggggg!!!!!

Deserted Forest, Mt. Fuji
Haaaaaaa!!!!!!!
The monster had lunged at Guyver I, but that proved to be a mistake as Guyver III appeared and sliced it in half with his vibro-blade.
Ugggggghhhh!!!!
The creature fell apart and its carcass slumped on the ground. The two guyvers joined up and began to move away when Guyver I's sensor orb shifted. Both guyvers turned, but the only thing there was a man cloaked in dark robes and hood.
"Did I come at a bad time?"
The dark guyver grunted, "Identify yourself."
"Calm down Makishima. I'm not from Chronos."
Guyver III didn't stand down, "A likely story. If that was true, how do you know who I am?"
"I know a good deal about you and the guyvers. That is why I am here."
"Oh?"
"I was looking for you, Guyver I. Or do you prefer Sho Fukamachi?"
At this, Guyver I stood straight, "Who are you? Why are you looking for me?"
"Because you are strong. And because you and I have a little business to attend to."

Brisbane, Australia
A young man in a hood was training himself on the punched bag. His punches reflected the turmoil and suffering within him.
They must be stopped. I have to end it once and for all.
"But in destroying the evil, will you become the devil yourself?" Jin abruptly stood and turned to find a man in dark robes and hood much like his, standing behind him.
"Relax, I'm not here to fight you. At least not yet, Kazama."
"You know me?"
"I know about you, yes. Your childhood, you training, your battles, even your suffering. You've had a tough life, Jin. It is amazing that you are still pure of heart."
The young man looked down sadly, "Am I?"
"That's for you to discover."
Jin straightened back up, "Who are you?"
"Someone you will know in time. But for now..."

Masaki Estate, Japan
Tenchi Masaki was just leaving on his way to the fields when a transparent object appeared behind him.
"Oh Tenchi, can't you stay a little longer?"
Tenchi struggled, "Come on Ryoko. I have to go to work."
The blue-haired space pirate held him tighter, "Oh, pleeeeeaaaasssssseeeeee?"
"Ryoko, that is enough." Coming from out the house was Princess Aieka. "Release Lord Tenchi right this instant."
Ryoko turned to her with a grin, "Now, now Aieka. There's no need to be jealous."
"Jealous? Me?"
"Of course. After all, he went to save me from Kagato so it must be love."
The Jurian princess began to seethe, "That's it. I've had enough of you. You need to be taught a lesson."
"And who's gonna teach me? You?"
Grrrrrrrrr electricity sparks Both women are now face-to-face.
"How do you deal with it Tenchi? Living with all of these women?"
Tenchi turned to his side to meet a robed man standing there, a dark hood covering his face.
"Oh, who are you?"
"Just a guy that wonders how you can handle all of this."
Tenchi shrugged, "Well they aren't bad. In fact they're really good people. Even Ryoko and Aieka. But when they start fighting..."
The hooded figure grinned, "Well, it's time to give you a break."

Ruined wasteland, Eurasia crash site
A familiar blue Maverick Hunter examined the destruction caused by both Eurasia's crash and the recent battles with Gate and Sigma.
Well, Sigma is gone for good, but so is Gate. I wonder how Alia is doing? And Zero, where did you disappear to?
"Those are good questions, X." X turned to see a familiar dark-cloaked figure wearing a hood.
"But the answers are not as easy to find."
"Who are you?"
"For the time being, my identity is not important. But your power is."
"My power?"
The figure strode forward, "The near limitless power you possess and makes you one of the best Maverick Hunters. Much like your friend, Zero."
"What do you want with me?"
"For the moment, you."

Unknown
In a shaded area, the same dark-cloaked figure is in a room alone, looking out a window. His hood is removed, but it is too dark to see his face. Behind him, another figure enters, female. She has jade-green eyes and blue hair, some of it being feathers. She is wearing similar robes, but lighter. She approaches him.
"So you brought them all here."
The dark one nodded, "Yes. The greatest of there worlds."
"But why these ten? There are other universes with vastly stronger warriors."
"That is true. But these guys all have the ability to become something greater. And deep inside, they share the same heart."
The female gives a small smile, "You are so looking forward to this, aren't you?"
The male turned his head to her and grinned, "To face the best of the best of the best? You know it."
"Let's just hope you haven't bitten off more than you can chew."
The male looks away again out the window, "We'll see. First they must be tested. I can't make it easy for them."
The female stops beside him and puts her hand on his shoulder.
"So it begins?"
"Yes, my angel. It begins."
