At the buffet, Ryu is sitting at his table, eating the food on his plate. Since he's a wanderer, he's not a very picky eater, meaning he'll eat just about anything. His friend Ken is at the theater watching Titanic.

A woman with long white hair in all tan walked past his table. However, he noticed Ryu and walked back. "Excuse me," she asked him. "Are you that Ryu guy by any chance?"

Ryu looked up from his plate to talk to her. "That depends," he replied. "Who wants to know?"

The woman sat across from him. "The name's Kisara," she replied. "I expected you to be a participant in this tournament."

"Yes. I've been to Fighter's Island once before." There is now a flashback to Ryu fighting Scorpion in the Fighter's Island arena. Ryu is near defeat, on all fours, as Scorpion gets out his sword. "This is the end of you!" Scorpion said before preparing to strike.

"Not... yet!" said Ryu as he prepared for a Shin Shoryuken. "Shin..." Ryu connected the right uppercut right at Scorpion's, then switched hands to attack under his chin. "SHORYUKEEEEEEN!" As Ryu rose, Scorpion fell to the ground, unconcious.

However, there was a hidden agenda to this tournament, as exhibited by the second emperor of Outworld, Shao Kahn. There is now a scene taking place in the Koliseum in Outworld, where Shao Kahn is dazed and near defeat. Ryu, battered and bruised from this fight, charges a Shinkuu Hadoken. Despite the odds, I was able to defeat Shao Kahn...

"SHINKUU... HADOOOOOKEEEEEEN!" Ryu fired a large blue energy ball at Shao Kahn, which went right through his chest, leaving a gaping, bloody hole. Though he defeated Shao Kahn, Ryu collapsed from his wounded condition soon after. ...at the cost of blacking out at the last second.

Back in reality, Kisara listened in amazement as Ryu finished his story. "I can only imagine what's in store for us this time."

"Wow," Kisara said. "That is very interesting." At the moment, the ship's captain yelled "LAND... HOOOOOOOO!"

This woke up Dr. Clef, who, along with 953, was staying in the tank throughout the voyage. "Wha- what was that?" he queried groggily.

"We're at our destination," 953 answered. Dr. Clef opened the hatch and got a great view of Fighter's Island, which the ship is closing in on.
He whistled in amazement.

Amid the relieved travelers, a platinum haired woman garbed in purple and wielding a magical sword smiled at this.
