Chap. 2

Swamp, Unknown

Jin Kazama fell out of the sixth sphere of light. He landed softly in a pile of rotting grass. Looking up, he saw that he was in the middle of a foggy swamp. What is this place? Where am I? Jin stood up and continued to look around. It was then that he started to hear snarling noises coming from around him. Several humanoid creatures dropped out of the trees and surrounded him. They had dark beady eyes, long, sharp teeth, and blades coming out f their arms. The creatures closed in on the young fighter and Jin stood ready.

This is going to be ugly.

Suddenly, the mutants of the Outworld lunged at him...

____________

Plain. Unknown

The next sphere formed in the middle of a grassy field, dropping off Tenchi Masaki as it disappeared. Tenchi looked up and around. Where am I? Huh? Looking down at himself, He saw that he was already decked in his Jurian battle uniform and his hand held the Tenchiken sword. This is really strange. It was then that a couple of floating objects appeared before him. They open to reveal several types of robots. They all looked as young Masaki and suddenly started firing at him. Tenchi quickly dodged the laser fire and hid behind a nearby boulder. As the machines continued to come at him, he tightened his grip on the energy sword.

"Come on. Please work."

The machines finally reached him, but his saber suddenly ignited.

"Here goes."

With a cry, Tenchi charged at the Mavericks

____________

Shallow Pond, Unknown

The next sphere appeared in the middle of a shallow pond, dropping Cloud in the midst of the water with a splash. Cloud shot up and looked around. The ground wasn't too far away. Wading in the, Cloud drew close to the land when the area began to get foggy. A moaning sound was heard and several figures appeared out of the fog. They were armored creatures each holding a weapon of some kind. Cloud could see no faces, only red glowing eyes. The creatures moved toward him, weapons posed. Cloud gave a small grin.

"Ooh, scary."

Reaching back, he pulled out his gigantic Buster sword and held it ready to fight the Dynasty soldiers from the Neatherealm

_____________

Iceland, unknown

Ryu materialized from the sphere of light in the middle of a frozen plain. The cold didn't bother him much, but he had to find out where he was. Who was that person? It was then that he felt energy surges around him. Stopping in his track, he saw a medium group of individuals. They all looked different colors and shapes. The only similarity was the strange armor they wearing. Two of them had a weird device on the side of their heads. They snickered at him.

"Well, what have we here?" came from a fat one with a spiky head

A taller humanoid on checked him, "We can have some fun with this guy." Turning to the fat one. "Hey Dodoria, what this guy's fighting level?"

Dodoria pressed the device and a bunch of numbers came up. He snickered, "Forget it. Not even a warm-up for us."

The tall one also checked his, "I see. Well boys, he's all yours."

The others moved in closer to Ryu who dropped into fighting stance...

Mountainside, Unknown

The tenth sphere dropped of D-Boy on the side of a mountain. Looking around, he wondered just what the heck happened to him. He found a passage down the mountain and began to walk. But as he went down, he was confronted by a bunch of soldiers.

"A human. Get rid of him."

D-Boy barely had time to ponder this as one of the soldiers took off his goggles and began changing. His body stretched out and grows hair. His face shot forward and row of sharp teeth formed in his mouth. When finished, the soldier had become some sort of man-beast. The creature laughed at him.

"I'll give you a five second head start. One...two..."

D-Boy backed away, never seeing a creature like that. But as he walked he felt a familiar sensation. A familiar…power.

"Three..."

He felt a slight rush of energy and something formed in his hand.

"Four..."

D-Boy looked in shock. My Tekka-set! It's back.

"Five." The creature came to him, "Any last words?"

D-Boy looked up and grinned at the zoaniod. He then raised his hand, along with the crystal, into the air.

"Tek-Setta!"
