As Ryu explained the situation, Rantaro had returned with a new quest that may help Ryu, Heath and Ryuji with building more power for the tournament.
Heath immediately accepted while Ryuji wanted to pass as for Ryu, he accepted it as well but wanted to know the situation that they were going to be in.
"I have the power to send you back in time and you will be going through a series of tests and as soon as you have past them, then you may be ready for what lies next".
As they were ready, he had opened at portal in which all of them entered but when they got into the other side, they were separated by one another.
Heath and Ryuji were sent into a random time while Ryu, he was sent back in time to where he was in a laboratory of such and he looked around to see.
Akira, Ryu's mother who was more younger than was now, and the person next to him had shaggy black hair and dark purple eyes.
Eyes that were similar to Ryu, he then realised that Rantaro had sent him to the time where the original Ryu Narukami was born.
Ryu could see that they were both happy and as Ryu took his time observing them, he came to realise something on Allistair Wizinskie's desk.
As time went quick and Ryu somehow never aging, the incident of Ryu's death was about to occur but he thought to himself.
Was it worth it? Was it worth to stop something from happening when it could change the timeline for the or for the worst.
He made his decision and decided not to interfere and suffer as he was watch Ryu die by the hands of Reggie Hakuna. As he took it upon himself to look around.
He came across a journal talking about a revival system and it had involved people being cloned and the clones were used to revive the consciousness of something or rather someone.
Ryu's went spinning around and around to which he couldn't help but unleash his rage. As he had finally calmed down, he heard them returning.
He got out of there as soon as he could to which he was encountered by two young girls, one was blonde with blue eyes.
While the other one had black hair similar to Miu's and blue eyes that was also similar to her.
He then realised that he was talking to Miu and Mizuki's mothers and as he made a dash for it. He found himself face to face to him.
"So you're the legendary hero that is meant to be saving us, well must be mistaken because all I see is a joke".
Ryu then ran off, leaving the other Ryu by himself. As he went back to the laboratory, he saw the creation of the clone Ryu.
The labelled had said, R615 Y982 U703 on top of this right hand and as Allistair had covered it, Ryu then scratched some of his skin and saw the same numbers.
So then everything was true, Ryu was undoubtedly a clone made by his father to cheer his mother up but the worst thing that happened was happened months later.
Ryu watched as his father was being killed by himself and as he saw Reggie Hakunas smug face.
He couldn't help but leave something that may end in a zap. As he watched the entire timeline, Akira marrying Hanzo, Hanzo leaving his father.
And soon the moment he was waiting for, the death of his fathers killer.
"Goodbye Reggie".
