Alternate Timeline Chapter 4, a king of fighters fanfic

[A few months later]

That's how long it's been since Ashura, Kyo, and Iori dealt with Gustab, Psyqhical, their clones and the others. Ashura had spent some of his time hanging out with either Athena or Yukino. He still trained a lot, he also had nightmares that disturbed him. He was now in the forest, training.

Ashura wore black leather fingerless gloves that have a white flame symbol on both of them, he had a black hairband, he also wore a very short and very tight black jacket that would have exposed his entire torso if it wasn't for the tight black shirt. He also had matching black pants that were also tight, but only on the top part and not on the bottom since they were loose and wore white dress shoes. Both of the jacket sleeves have the same white flame symbol.

He had sense a new powerful energy, he also sensed Psyqhical and Gustab's energy disappear from the phase of Earth, they had been killed. A letter suddenly fell in front of him and he picked it up and ripped off the seal before he took out an invitation.

Ashura: You are cordially invited to the second King of Fighters Memorial. The rules of this tournament are the same as the last tournament. You're still allowed to participate alone.

Ashura just looked in the sky and started thinking.

Ashura: (Psyqhical and Gustab had been killed, probably by their own creation. The same creation must have hosted this tournament to lure me, Kyo, and Iori, because it knows that we three will stand in it's way, so it must eliminate us. I'll participate in this tournament to teach that abomination a lesson it can't forget.)

Ashura continued training, he knew that he may be the strongest in the world, but there must be his counterparts that are evil and stronger than him, so he had to train just in case he meets them.

Kyo: This guy is too strong.

Iori: His skills and powers are similar to ours and the others, he can use our fighting style and flames.

Ashura: Element, get ready to die.

Iori: Element, what is he?

Ashura: He is the ultimate creation of Gustab, the one he was collecting the battle data for. As soon as he awoken, he killed Gustab and Psyqhical.

Kyo and Iori got shocked and looked at Element. They were ready to defeat him.

Ashura jumped high into the air before landing with a kick to Element's head before Iori ran at Element, grabbed him by his head, then slammed him to the floor and made a purple fiery explosion. Element got on his feet and looked at Ashura and Iori, who were both glaring at him.

Element got on his feet and launched a huge orb of dark energy towards the three boys, who dodged it. They got confused when they saw Element counting his fingers, they didn't have to wait any longer because after Element finished counting, a huge wave of darkness covered the entire area. When it died down, Ashura, Iori, and Kyo were on the ground, writhing in pain.

Kyo was suddenly levitated into the air and a tornado around him with bolts of lightning, cutting his body up with the tornado's winds and shocking him. When the attack died down, Kyo was suffering from the pain.

Element flashed in front of Iori and grabbed him before he trapped him in a large block of ice, Element grabbed the block of ice and threw it at the nearest wall to break it, but Ashura caught the block of ice and used his blue flames to melt the ice instantly, freeing Iori.

Kyo: It hurts, how can he be so powerful?

Iori: How are we gonna kill him.

Iori and Kyo managed to get on their feet and got ready to fight Element once again, they may be given a deadly beating, but they were not gonna give up.

Ashura got on his feet, he was very hurt but he wanted Element to suffer for making Yukino his puppet. He helped Iori and Kyo get on their feet.

Ashura: Let's put everything we got into our next attacks.

Kyo threw out a small fireball which created a large number of flaming pillars to form and headed towards Element. Iori and Ashura set their hands on fire before leaping to Element and slammed their hands to the ground, creating a large pillar of purple flames that combined with Kyo's pillars, burning Element in one huge explosion of flames. When the smoke died down, Element was revealed to be "defeated".

Element: Could at least do more than that.

He stood right back up, seemingly still able to fight to the very exhausted Kyo and Iori and a unfazed Ashura.

Iori: You're gonna pay for saying that.

Iori was furious, as he attempted to charge at Element and finish him, but Element slammed his shoulder into Iori's body, causing him to fly past Kyo and Ashura and slammed into the wall hard, knocking him out unconscious.

Kyo: YAGAMI!

Element flashed past Kyo and Ashura at an insane speed, grabbing them by the neck. Ashura managed to get off and backflipped a couple of feet away. Kyo tried to get off, but to no avail.

Element: It's time to die, Kyo Kusanagi.

Just as Element is about to kill Kyo, Yukino caught Element from back as a large pillar of pyro-energy start to emit from ground. Ashura got shocked when he saw Yukino.

Ashura: Yukino, get off him.

Yukino: No, it has to be done.

Ashura: No, you will die.

Yukino: This is how it's meant to be. I LOVE YOU, ASHURA!

Ashura tried running towards them. Element, now shocked by how his plan foiled before everything inside of the pillar broke into particles. Ashura just got on his knees and started punching the ground, creating a crater.

Ashura: Why did it have to be you, Yukino! It's because of my foolishness that you lost your life, because of that, you had to pay the ultimate price! I shouldn't have held back against Element!

Kyo walked towards Ashura, who was broken.

Kyo: I know it's hard to lose a loved one, let's return back home.

Ashura got on his feet and picked Up Iori before he and Kyo walked away.

[A few hours later]

Ashura was still broken from what had happened, he hasn't even healed himself. Ashura had cried all the way. He got to the Asamiya mansion and knocked on the door, Athena opened the door and got surprised when she saw the boy she loved very injured.

Athena: [Gasping] Ashura, what happened to you?

Ashura didn't answer her, he was thinking about what happened to Yukino. Athena got worried when Ashura didn't answer her.

Athena: What happened Ashura?

Ashura just broke out crying, he was heartbroken. Athena did all she could to calm Ashura down, after a lot of tried, she managed to calm him down.

Athena: Will you tell me what happened now?

Ashura: Let's go to the Living room first.

The two of them went to the living room and sat down on the couch.

Athena: What's wrong?

Ashura: She's dead.

Athena: Who's dead?

Ashura: Yukino, she's dead and it's all because of me.

Athena was shocked to hear that one of her friends died. Yukino was her love rival, but she cared for her.

Athena: Can you tell me everything from the start.

Ashura told Athena everything that happened, after a few minutes, he finally told her anything.

Athena: So you were holding back against Element and you, Kyo, and Iori got a deadly beating from him.

Ashura: Yes.

Athena: You guys managed to defeat him, but he was unfazed by your attacks and knocked Iori out.

Ashura: Yes.

Athena: Then he was gonna kill Kyo, but Yukino intervened and used all her powers to destroy Element, taking her own life in the process.

Ashura: Yes.

Athena: Everything will be alright. Yukino sacrificed herself because she loved you, she wants you to move on with your life.

Ashura: I guess you're right, it's my fault that she's dead. I'm gonna continue fighting for her.

Athena: Right.

[A few months later]

Ashura was standing in the park where he and Yukino used to meet each other. He still was blaming himself for her death. He began to look back at the moments he had with Yukino.

As he walked along, he seemed to pass by what could be an apparition of Yukino as the wind blew.
