With that out of the way off to the Plot Guide!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ****************** 1. Time line and Canon Games These are the games and stories in order that are apart of AU's plot Pride: A Prelude to Alternate Universe(begins in1985 and skips through years to mid-late 2001, 2002, and 2003) Alternate Universe(Feb. 2003- Jul.2004) Alternate Universe 2: Universe Wars(Nov. 2006- Jun 2007) Alternate Universe Final: Revelations(May.2012- Jan 2013) ***************** 2. Pride: A Prelude to Alternate Universe(Jul? 1985 the month of Kris's birth possibly the month Tim Wilson leaves the NU normal universe forever, to 2003 the beginning of AU1.) No game-play not a planed game Titan Team official statement. Story: PAPTAU follows different AU universe characters who had a past with each other and the AU. If a main character could be named Tim Wilson would probably be it, the story also covers Kris's birth, Tim killing his alternate self and staying in the alternate universe, Chigau becoming Tim's partner and even the beginnings of Jagan, Ultima, and Alpha/Omega. The story begins with Kami-Tora choosing Tim Wilson to defend the AU, Tim excepts since he is skilled in the martial arts and loves a real challenge. One problem Tim had a family and a son Kris (little that he knew Kris would become the AU's defender 17 and a half years later). Tim did not want his family involved in the AU troubles, so using his power as defender of the AU Tim kills his alternate self and remains in the AU defends it. He later finds a partner named Chigau(a bounty hunter) and they become the Dark Masters. Jagan is already 15 at this time and is training to awaken his third eye. Ultima(his name at the time was Don Johnson) was born a year later and abandoned by his parents. The human used for Alpha/Omega is cryogenically frozen that same year and set to awaken 16 years later. In 1989 Chigau and Tim Wilson go their separate ways and Chigau continues bounty hunting. Jagan and his brother Kou team up to take over the AU and fail in 1993 and Kou is killed by Tim's Gou(Dark) Kick. At this time he becomes Tim Wilson becomes permanently known as the "Dark Hero".( note. that is the reason why during AU2 when Kris meets him he does not know that he is his father) The story shifts to 2001 while Kris is in his sophomore year from here to about late 2002 this goes through Kris's first meetings with people that he knows, Daraun (2001), Brandi (late 2001), Tonya and Angela (2002), and Anna(early 2003) (note. that this part of PAPTAU basically went through the first meetings and the situations that made them an important part of his life, Brandi especially which is why the story is called Pride) Kris tells what happened between them during the Gundam Tournament Finals during the Genesis Saga of AU1. The story ends with Atsuki and Kami-Tora talking about Ultima and the Elemental Masters and how the "Dark Hero" is supposedly dead and Kami-Tora's order to find the "Dark Hero's"son. Here are the battles that happened during the PAPTAU time line are significant to the AU canon in order of when they happened. "Chigau vs. Tim Wilson" The battle of dark masters as it was called, this battle did happen , in late 1985 shortly after Tim killed his alternate self. Chigau hears of Tim finds him and challenges him to a battle(Chigau loves a good challenges also). The battle is evenly matched the whole way but Tim wins a close battle with his legendary "Dark Kick". The two become partners after the battle and become the first real heroes of the AU. "Chigau vs Kou" A small encounter turned into a battle when Chigau hears of Kou and his high bounty. Kou mentions his brother Jagan (the universal criminal Tim is searching for) finding this out Chigau battles Kou. But Kou is to strong and defeats Chigau and according to Chigau Kou tells him where Jagan is. This battle happened but Kou telling Chigau where Jagan is, is totally false he tells Tim this so he can capture Jagan and get paid(it is proven because Tim does not find Jagan until 1993). This battle takes place sometime during mid 1992 maybe. "Tim Wilson vs Kou and Jagan" Let me start this one off by confirming that this legendary battle did happen. The battle starts out as Tim vs Kou one on one, Tim beats the living shit out of Kou and when his brother Jagan arrives he challenges him. The battle is evenly matched throughout until Jagan awakens his third eye and revives Kou. Tim tricks Kou and makes him insist that they fight one on one Kou excepts and Tim beats the living shit out of him again but this time kills him with the "Dark Kick". Tim becomes infuriated by the way Jagan stood there and watched his own brother die with no emotion. Jagan exclaims that Kou was a fool for excepting a 1on 1 battle knowing that he couldn't win and that he choose his own destiny. Jagan and Tim battle again Jagan tries to kill Tim with his "Third Eye Beam" but Tim blocks it and counters with his "Dark Kick" Jagan survives and declares the battle a draw and leaves. Can't say there was a winner here despite the fact that Tim killed Kou, However the fan would view it I don't care but plot wise it's a draw. It was also rumored that Chigau watched the battle but did not interfere this was true and was confirmed during AU2 when Chigau tells Kris about Jagan and "The Dark Hero's" Battle from a first person perspective as if he was there. This battle of course took place in early 1993. "Ultima vs "Dark Hero" This battle did not happen it was a rumor spread by Chigau to boost Ultima's popularity and a way to trick Kami-Tora into prematurely picking a new defender for the AU. This is confirmed during AU during the Parallel Universe Saga when Chigau finds out Kris is in training and tells Ultima "Our plan is working". It is also confirmed by the fact that the "Dark Hero" is still alive during AU2 because Chigau claimed Ultima killed him. If the battle would have taken place it would have happened around late 2002. 3. Alternate Universe(Feb. 2003- Jul. 2004) Game play: a multi-player fighting game 8 maximum players/ 3D Rendered Real-Time RPG being planned Story: AU follows main character Kris Wilson after he is chosen to defend the AU. Ultima has gathered 8 Elemental Masters and claims he is going to take over the AU. Chris accidentally gets a team of his own(will be explained later) and they travel to the AU after their training to defeat Ultima. But is Ultima really trying to take over the AU? And who are these Gods who mysteriously show up? The team soon finds out that Ultima nor The Gods are the real threat, that La and Na and the Universe Beasts are. The story begins with Kris being chosen by Atsuki to defend the AU, he ignores it believing that he doesn't need to. That day he focuses on the "letter" that he wrote to Tonya (note. The love letter Kris wrote is an important part of the interaction between Chris and Tonya throughout the AU series) After Tonya gets the letter she discovers that Chris wrote it and this begins their rivalry during the Genesis Saga. Tonya disses him but Brandi returns and evens the score with Anna on her side. Later they go to the Gundam Tournament(Federation vs. Zeon) (where Kris is the national individual champion) for a tag-team tournament. Kris, Daraun, Brandi, Anna and the rest of the "WolfPak" meet Daniel, Tonya's boyfriend (he's a cocky son of a bitch) and he makes fun of Kris and the Pak They also make a shocking discovery Tonya has still has the letter and was threatening to embarrass him with it. Deciding to wait until the next week to deal with it Kris and Anna go see a movie (curious to see what they are doing Daraun and Brandi follow). After the movie Kris and Anna talk (note. Brandi and Daraun are watching) the two end up kissing and this (sort of) begins Kris and Anna's relationship. The next week Manny second-in-command of the "WolfPak" (Kris and Daraun share leadership responsibilities) comes up with a plan to get the letter back and the whole "WolfPak" gets involved. They also find out some info about a possible rival to their group "Tha Syndicate" who is just building their group, and encounters Gabriel(one of Tonya's good friend) and embarrasses him with the electro shocker that week. The group gets non-lethal weapons and they even have to hide Kris the day of the plan. They retrieve the letter but had to beat Jennifer( a friend of Tonya's) up to get it, Jennifer is taken to the hospital and after school Daraun insists that he and Kris go "visit" Jennifer that night. They get there and find Tonya and Angela( Tonya's best friend)was there as expected but Daniel was there too. (Note. This begins Daniel and Daraun's rivalry because prior to that night Daraun had stayed out of Kris's situation with Tonya) Tonya asks him(Kris) why he's been terrorizing her friends, he answers with quote "Didn't I explain earlier they got in the way" (note. Jennifer was attacked because she was holding the letter at the time the plan was initiated, Gabriel was attacked when he tried to ambush Kris and Anna) After they leave that night Kris travels to the AU for the first time( note. when he sleeps his soul is transferred to his alternate body(Astral Projection), it is morning in the AU when it is night in the NU(Normal Universe) Atsuki comes and explains the guidelines of the AU and why he was chosen, she explains the soul transfer and that if his alternate soul wakes up in his normal body they would disrupt the "Flow of the Universes" and that they would both die. She also explained that he was chosen to defend the AU from Ultima(she explained the rumored battle between Ultima and the "Dark Hero" and that he has gathered the Elemental Masters and the first that they are targeting is SwitchFire. She tells him to find a partner but to choose wisely because whoever it is will be for cursed(when ever called he or she will to defend the AU. Kris thinks of telling Daraun but decides not to and go and find SwitchFire himself Atsuki comes along. He is very surprised at how he is treated and who is not there in the AU, Atsuki explained that Kris's life in the AU is very different than what it is in the NU for example( Anna does not exist in the AU becuase Alternate Kris has no need for her becuase he's the schools top basketball player and has a girlfriend Terry Ahn. Brandi does't exist in the AU becuase Daraun(Kris's best friend never left for a year in the AU) therefore to Kris Alternate Brandi does not exist. I guess that's the legal limbo explanation of the AU) . Kris wastes a day in the AU and by the time he finds SwitchFire it was a little too late. Kris and his friends are now on a 3-week spring break, Kris and Daraun nearly fight because Kris is acting weird and Kris gives up and tells Daraun about the AU. (Note. Unfortunately Tonya, Angela, Daniel, Anna, Brandi, and Gabriel overheard the conversation) Kami-Tora appears for the first time informing Kris and Daraun about their physical training they arrive and see Tonya, Angela, Daniel, Anna, Brandi, and Gabriel there also(Kami-Tora came to them in their dreams). Kris and Gabriel begins training under the Ansatsukan style(since they are dubbed the two strongest) and the others begin normal combat training. After the one week training regiment the group leave to the newly created PU(Parallel Universe a training and battleground) to learn the elements and compete to become the AU's main defenders and the wish of anything they want. The group arrives in the PU and are split up into two teams Team X(Kris, Anna, Daraun, and Brandi) and Tonya and Company(Tonya, Gabriel, Daniel, and Angela) to find a portal that leads back to the NU. But the NU is filled with monsters, booby traps, and the teams desire to win a few preliminary battles take place but are minor. Kris chooses the element of Darkness, Gabriel chooses Electricity, Daraun chooses Earth, Angela chooses Wood, Tonya chooses Metal, Anna chooses Wind, Brandi chooses Fire, and Daniel chooses Water(note. They are ordered to train themselves) Angela, Gabriel, and Daniel come up with a plan to kill Kris by using Tonya so they won't get blamed for it. They send Tonya out to train on purpose and they lead a Fire Beast over to Tonya's position and it attacks her. Kris is also out training and hears Tonya trying to defend herself from the Fire Beast he runs to save her and he distracts the beast and tells Tonya to run. She hides and Kris fights the Fire Beast but is caught off guard and killed. Tonya runs to tell Kris's friends and they find his mutilated body lying there, they bury and him and hold a funeral Angela, Gabriel, Daniel attend also, knowing that they had a part in Kris's death. Kris comes into Anna's dreams and tells her that his soul is okay and that he is with Kami-Tora and Atsuki. Tonya overhears her friends talking about how their plan was a success, A furious Tonya storms in and tells them that she will get her revenge for them using her and leaves(note. From here through the rest of the Parallel Universe Saga Tonya goes rogue). The next day Tonya finds the portal but does not tell anyone, instead she finds Anna and challenges her to a battle, Anna beats her and Tonya tells Anna where the portal is, Anna asks her why she told her that Tonya answers that someone she cares about depends on it. Anna, Brandi, and Daraun arrive at the portal and are asked what their wish is, they wish for Kris to be brought back but they have a problem four people that want Kris back have to be present. Tonya and Company arrive and Tonya steps up to be the fourth person with no hesitation she then told her friends of her betrayal. Kris is brought back and is mobbed by Anna then by Daraun and Brandi, he thanks Tonya and Tonya thanks him for helping her realize how useless her friends really were. The group is now briefed on the Elemental Masters( SwitchFire, Gaeshi, Chigau, Kyu, Dan, Gyro, and Jing) they are told that Ultima has an island and he has "invited" them as special guests of honor to fight in a small tournament. There are many battles that will be documented in the battle section of AU1 After the "defeat" of Ultima a secret organization called God-Tech claims that they have awaken the "Gods" (Alpha/Omega, Beta, Delta, Zeta, Gamma, and Epsilon). Kris and company battle the Gods and they seem impossible to beat. Until they find out God-Tech used humans to create these "Gods", they find a way to beat the others but Alpha has "evolved" into Omega and has become seemingly invincible. Gabriel joins the EM(Elemental Masters) and interferes with Kris's battle with Omega he teams up with him and they "defeat" Omega. Finally the big cheese, La and Na a sorcerer and sorceress who had been planning to destroy the AU for years stumble across the legend of the universe beasts. Finding out that these 8 beasts could destroy a universe or even create a new one the two resurrect them. Not knowing that the beasts could possibly be defeated, La and Na brag to Chigau about how they're going to rule the universes. But Chigau tells Kami-Tora and Kris and friends are launched back into battle but this time it's for the fate of all 3 universes. The universe beasts(Salamandou, Triplex Unda, Dryad, Shade, Core, Hikage, Metallo, and Ten Ken) go to the Universe Holyland where the battle of a life time will take place. Here are the battles that happened during Alternate Universe (in order) that are significant to the AU cannon. "Kris vs. Gabriel" Gabriel challenges Kris to test their Ansatsukan skills in a battle, Kris accepts and the two turn out to be very evenly matched but the battle is broken up when Kami-Tora and Atsuki come. This battle did happen and ended as a draw. "Brandi and Anna vs. Tonya and Angela" Brandi and Anna are searching for Kris and Daraun, they find Tonya and Angela and are challenged to test their new skills. As the battle goes on Daniel interferes when Tonya and Angela are about to lose, Daraun comes in and beats the shit out of Daniel and Brandi and Anna go on to win the battle. This battle happened sometime after Kris and Gabriel's, none of characters really give any clue. "Kris vs. Fire Beast" Takes place when Kris hears Tonya trying to defend herself, he saves Tonya and battles the beast he is really taking it to the thing but gets caught off guard and is killed. This battle obviously happened because Kris dies during the Parallel Universe Saga and that battle was how it happened. "Tonya vs. Anna" This battle happened and it took place after Tonya found the portal. She challenges Anna and Anna accepts, the battle raged on for a while, but Anna barely pulls a victory out(Tonya lost on purpose) Tonya tells Anna where the portal is and basically gives a hint of what her objective was. "Brandi vs. SwitchFire" Brandi and SwitchFire are drawn first to fight during Ultima's Tournament. SwitchFire insults Brandi by saying "she wasn't hot enough", don't know what she meant by that but SwitchFire starts the battle off kicking Brandi's ass. Brandi wins by throwing water all over SwitchFire with a near by bucket. This battle happened and it showed Kris and friends how tough beating the masters would really be. "Gaeshi vs. Gabriel" This battle happened and it wasn't very pretty Gabriel beats the shit out of Gaeshi and Gaeshi transforms into a monster of some sort but it doesn't help him Gabriel uses his superior technique the "Electric Driller" and kills Gaeshi. "Gyro vs Anna" Gyro and Anna turnout one of the best fights of the whole tournament behind Kris and Chigau's. It was a windy and electrical show the whole way. Gyro has the advantage but goes overboard and uses his Hurricane, Anna finds the eye of the Hurricane and uses her "Blowout" technique and wins. This battle did happen and set the standard for the future battles. "Jing vs. Tonya" Jing and Tonya also turnout an explosive battle, the battle went back and forth, and every time one of the fighters got into a bind they got out of it with pure skill. Jing could turn her whole body into metal, that didn't save her from Tonya's "Metal Palm Strike" that will end up killing Jing. This battle happened and showed that even Tonya could become a big player in the AU universe. "Kyu and Dan and Kris and Daraun" The only tag-team battle during the whole tournament, Kyu and Dan are masters of tag-team battles and the Kokoro(spirit) style. Kris and Daraun had never fought in a real tag-team battle(except the Gundam Tournament but that doesn't count). Kyu and Dan show their team work by isolating Kris throughout the battle and almost win the battle but they underestimate Daraun who uses his "Mana Blast" on Kyu. Kris then uses his "Dark Fist" for the first time on Dan and they win a truly physical battle. Oh yeah this battle happened... "Kris vs. Chigau" If the story ended here than this would have been the best battle of the whole AU series(but it doesn't end here so I'll say it's the best of AU1). Anyway Kris and Chigau lock horns in a unique battle in the dark, why do you ask? Chigau wanted to see if Kris's power was developed yet, the battle stayed close for a while both fighters used their superior techniques("Dark Fist" and "Dark Flash" but they still didn't win. Chigau mysteriously forfeits the match and Kris is declared the winner. This battle happened. "Daniel and Angela vs. Ultima" Daniel and Angela challenge Ultima after Kris's battle with Chigau, they say that they were disrespected by not being selected to fight. Ultima tells them that they were lucky because they are unworthy anyway. Daniel attacks Ultima and Angela tries to help, I wont go any further because these two get dominated by Ultima. Kris steps in and you should guess what happens next. This battle happened. "Kris vs Ultima" After Kris steps in and helps Daniel and Angela he and Ultima engage in a heated stare down. Ultima of course starts off with the advantage because he has all 8 elements at his disposal. Kris begins to turn the battle into more of a fight instead of a technique fest. Ultima gets his ass handed to him and Kris wins. He is about to kill Ultima but Chigau saves him and Ultima and his remaining Masters escape(Chigau, Kyu, Dan, and Gyro) escape. This battle definitely happened. "Daniel vs. Beta" Beta challenges Daniel to a battle and Daniel accepts of course, the battle starts with Beta and Daniel seeming evenly matched.(note the "Gods" do not possess elemental powers) Beta was toying with him all along and begins to kick his ass, Tonya interferes and helps Daniel win the battle(very embarrassing when your girlfriend helps you win a battle) This battle happened and Daniel yells at Tonya for saving his life, just pathetic. "Tonya and Angela vs. Delta and Gamma" An interesting battle which actually starts off with Tonya and Angela kicking Delta and Gamma's ass(Delta and Gamma are both girls). But Delta and Gamma have a trick up their sleeves they can merge together and double their strength. Tonya and Angela are unfazed and kicks the merged Delta and Gamma's ass anyway(there is no different name after they merge). Tonya and Angela argue over how their going to end the battle(again, just pathetic) Delta and Gamma recover and begin to gain the upper hand, until Gabriel interferes and kills Delta and Gamma with his now famous "Electric Driller" (note that Gabriel is now apart of the EM so his objectives and reason for interfering are unknown since he leaves immediately after getting his kill.) This battle happened. "Brandi vs. Zeta" This battle was very close throughout and Brandi proves that even she can fight with the best of them. Zeta turns out to be too strong and he overwhelms Brandi. Daraun interferes(there are interferences in every battle (except Daraun vs Epsilon) with the "Gods" He buys Brandi enough time to use the "Tri-Blaze" and kills Zeta. This battle happened. "Daraun vs. Epsilon" A great battle, this is the first time Daraun fights in a one on one. Epsilon's strength unlike his counterparts is speed. And for most of the battle Daraun doesn't even touch Epsilon, Daraun uses his "Armor of Rock" and "Chakra Clone" techniques which gives him the upper hand. Daraun gains the victory with his "Mana Blast". This battle happened. "Kris vs Alpha/Omega" (Early note Alpha evolves into Omega during the battle) This battle was topsy turvy throughout and it was very hard to tell who had the real advantage. Turns out that Alpha gains the advantage when he evolves into Omega, he kicks Kris' ass and lets just say everyone imaginable interferes and get their ass kicked too but Gabriel interferes and helps his rival Kris defeat Omega. ****************** 4.

2. Pride: A Prelude to Alternate Universe(Jul? 1985 the month of Kris''s birth possibly the month Tim Wilson leaves the NU normal universe forever, to 2003 the beginning of AU1.)

No game-play not a planed game Titan Team official statement.

Story: PAPTAU follows different AU universe characters who had a past with each other and the AU. If a main character could be named Tim Wilson would probably be it, the story also covers Kris''s birth, Tim killing his alternate self and staying in the alternate universe, Chigau becoming Tim''s partner and even the beginnings of Jagan, Ultima, and Alpha/Omega.

The story begins with Kami-Tora choosing Tim Wilson to defend the AU, Tim excepts since he is skilled in the martial arts and loves a real challenge. One problem Tim had a family and a son Kris (little that he knew Kris would become the AU''s defender 17 and a half years later). Tim did not want his family involved in the AU troubles, so using his power as defender of the AU Tim kills his alternate self and remains in the AU defends it. He later finds a partner named Chigau(a bounty hunter) and they become the Dark Masters. Jagan is already 15 at this time and is training to awaken his third eye. Ultima(his name at the time was Don Johnson) was born a year later and abandoned by his parents. The human used for Alpha/Omega is cryogenically frozen that same year and set to awaken 16 years later. In 1989 Chigau and Tim Wilson go their separate ways and Chigau continues bounty hunting. Jagan and his brother Kou team up to take over the AU and fail in 1993 and Kou is killed by Tim''s Gou(Dark) Kick. At this time he becomes Tim Wilson becomes permanently known as the "Dark Hero".( note. that is the reason why during AU2 when Kris meets him he does not know that he is his father) The story shifts to 2001 while Kris is in his sophomore year from here to about late 2002 this goes through Kris''s first meetings with people that he knows, Daraun (2001), Brandi (late 2001), Tonya and Angela (2002), and Anna(early 2003) (note. that this part of PAPTAU basically went through the first meetings and the situations that made them an important part of his life, Brandi especially which is why the story is called Pride) Kris tells what happened between them during the Gundam Tournament Finals during the Genesis Saga of AU1. The story ends with Atsuki and Kami-Tora talking about Ultima and the Elemental Masters and how the "Dark Hero" is supposedly dead and Kami-Tora''s order to find the "Dark Hero''s"son.

Here are the battles that happened during the PAPTAU time line are significant to the AU canon in order of when they happened.

"Chigau vs. Tim Wilson"
The battle of dark masters as it was called, this battle did happen , in late 1985 shortly after Tim killed his alternate self. Chigau hears of Tim finds him and challenges him to a battle(Chigau loves a good challenges also). The battle is evenly matched the whole way but Tim wins a close battle with his legendary "Dark Kick". The two become partners after the battle and become the first real heroes of the AU.

"Chigau vs Kou"
A small encounter turned into a battle when Chigau hears of Kou and his high bounty. Kou mentions his brother Jagan (the universal criminal Tim is searching for) finding this out Chigau battles Kou. But Kou is to strong and defeats Chigau and according to Chigau Kou tells him where Jagan is. This battle happened but Kou telling Chigau where Jagan is, is totally false he tells Tim this so he can capture Jagan and get paid(it is proven because Tim does not find Jagan until 1993). This battle takes place sometime during mid 1992 maybe.

"Tim Wilson vs Kou and Jagan"
Let me start this one off by confirming that this legendary battle did happen. The battle starts out as Tim vs Kou one on one, Tim beats the living shit out of Kou and when his brother Jagan arrives he challenges him. The battle is evenly matched throughout until Jagan awakens his third eye and revives Kou. Tim tricks Kou and makes him insist that they fight one on one Kou excepts and Tim beats the living shit out of him again but this time kills him with the "Dark Kick". Tim becomes infuriated by the way Jagan stood there and watched his own brother die with no emotion. Jagan exclaims that Kou was a fool for excepting a 1on 1 battle knowing that he couldn''t win and that he choose his own destiny. Jagan and Tim battle again Jagan tries to kill Tim with his "Third Eye Beam" but Tim blocks it and counters with his "Dark Kick" Jagan survives and declares the battle a draw and leaves. Can''t say there was a winner here despite the fact that Tim killed Kou, However the fan would view it I don''t care but plot wise it''s a draw.
It was also rumored that Chigau watched the battle but did not interfere this was true and was confirmed during AU2 when Chigau tells Kris about Jagan and "The Dark Hero''s" Battle from a first person perspective as if he was there. This battle of course took place in early 1993.

"Ultima vs "Dark Hero"
This battle did not happen it was a rumor spread by Chigau to boost Ultima''s popularity and a way to trick Kami-Tora into prematurely picking a new defender for the AU. This is confirmed during AU during the Parallel Universe Saga when Chigau finds out Kris is in training and tells Ultima "Our plan is working". It is also confirmed by the fact that the "Dark Hero" is still alive during AU2 because Chigau claimed Ultima killed him. If the battle would have taken place it would have happened around late 2002.


3. Alternate Universe(Feb. 2003- Jul. 2004)
Game play: a multi-player fighting game 8 maximum players/ 3D Rendered
Real-Time RPG being planned

Story: AU follows main character Kris Wilson after he is chosen to defend the AU. Ultima has gathered 8 Elemental Masters and claims he is going to take over the AU. Chris accidentally gets a team of his own(will be explained later) and they travel to the AU after their training to defeat Ultima. But is Ultima really trying to take over the AU? And who are these Gods who mysteriously show up? The team soon finds out that Ultima nor The Gods are the real threat, that La and Na and the Universe Beasts are.

The story begins with Kris being chosen by Atsuki to defend the AU, he ignores it believing that he doesn''t need to. That day he focuses on the "letter" that he wrote to Tonya (note. The love letter Kris wrote is an important part of the interaction between Chris and Tonya throughout the AU series) After Tonya gets the letter she discovers that Chris wrote it and this begins their rivalry during the Genesis Saga. Tonya disses him but Brandi returns and evens the score with Anna on her side. Later they go to the Gundam Tournament(Federation vs. Zeon) (where Kris is the national individual champion) for a tag-team tournament. Kris, Daraun, Brandi, Anna and the rest of the "WolfPak" meet Daniel, Tonya''s boyfriend (he''s a cocky son of a bitch) and he makes fun of Kris and the Pak They also make a shocking discovery Tonya has still has the letter and was threatening to embarrass him with it. Deciding to wait until the next week to deal with it Kris and Anna go see a movie (curious to see what they are doing Daraun and Brandi follow). After the movie Kris and Anna talk (note. Brandi and Daraun are watching) the two end up kissing and this (sort of) begins Kris and Anna''s relationship. The next week Manny second-in-command of the "WolfPak" (Kris and Daraun share leadership responsibilities) comes up with a plan to get the letter back and the whole "WolfPak" gets involved. They also find out some info about a possible rival to their group "Tha Syndicate" who is just building their group, and encounters Gabriel(one of Tonya''s good friend) and embarrasses him with the electro shocker that week. The group gets non-lethal weapons and they even have to hide Kris the day of the plan. They retrieve the letter but had to beat Jennifer( a friend of Tonya''s) up to get it, Jennifer is taken to the hospital and after school Daraun insists that he and Kris go "visit" Jennifer that night. They get there and find Tonya and Angela( Tonya''s best friend)was there as expected but Daniel was there too. (Note. This begins Daniel and Daraun''s rivalry because prior to that night Daraun had stayed out of Kris''s situation with Tonya) Tonya asks him(Kris) why he''s been terrorizing her friends, he answers with quote "Didn''t I explain earlier they got in the way" (note. Jennifer was attacked because she was holding the letter at the time the plan was initiated, Gabriel was attacked when he tried to ambush Kris and Anna) After they leave that night Kris travels to the AU for the first time( note. when he sleeps his soul is transferred to his alternate body(Astral Projection), it is morning in the AU when it is night in the NU(Normal Universe) Atsuki comes and explains the guidelines of the AU and why he was chosen, she explains the soul transfer and that if his alternate soul wakes up in his normal body they would disrupt the "Flow of the Universes" and that they would both die. She also explained that he was chosen to defend the AU from Ultima(she explained the rumored battle between Ultima and the "Dark Hero" and that he has gathered the Elemental Masters and the first that they are targeting is SwitchFire. She tells him to find a partner but to choose wisely because whoever it is will be for cursed(when ever called he or she will to defend the AU. Kris thinks of telling Daraun but decides not to and go and find SwitchFire himself Atsuki comes along. He is very surprised at how he is treated and who is not there in the AU, Atsuki explained that Kris''s life in the AU is very different than what it is in the NU for example( Anna does not exist in the AU becuase Alternate Kris has no need for her becuase he''s the schools top basketball player and has a girlfriend Terry Ahn. Brandi does''t exist in the AU becuase Daraun(Kris''s best friend never left for a year in the AU) therefore to Kris Alternate Brandi does not exist. I guess that''s the legal limbo explanation of the AU) . Kris wastes a day in the AU and by the time he finds SwitchFire it was a little too late. Kris and his friends are now on a 3-week spring break, Kris and Daraun nearly fight because Kris is acting weird and Kris gives up and tells Daraun about the AU. (Note. Unfortunately Tonya, Angela, Daniel, Anna, Brandi, and Gabriel overheard the conversation) Kami-Tora appears for the first time informing Kris and Daraun about their physical training they arrive and see Tonya, Angela, Daniel, Anna, Brandi, and Gabriel there also(Kami-Tora came to them in their dreams). Kris and Gabriel begins training under the Ansatsukan style(since they are dubbed the two strongest) and the others begin normal combat training. After the one week training regiment the group leave to the newly created PU(Parallel Universe a training and battleground) to learn the elements and compete to become the AU''s main defenders and the wish of anything they want.

The group arrives in the PU and are split up into two teams Team X(Kris, Anna, Daraun, and Brandi) and Tonya and Company(Tonya, Gabriel, Daniel, and Angela) to find a portal that leads back to the NU. But the NU is filled with monsters, booby traps, and the teams desire to win a few preliminary battles take place but are minor. Kris chooses the element of Darkness, Gabriel chooses Electricity, Daraun chooses Earth, Angela chooses Wood, Tonya chooses Metal, Anna chooses Wind, Brandi chooses Fire, and Daniel chooses Water(note. They are ordered to train themselves) Angela, Gabriel, and Daniel come up with a plan to kill Kris by using Tonya so they won''t get blamed for it. They send Tonya out to train on purpose and they lead a Fire Beast over to Tonya''s position and it attacks her. Kris is also out training and hears Tonya trying to defend herself from the Fire Beast he runs to save her and he distracts the beast and tells Tonya to run. She hides and Kris fights the Fire Beast but is caught off guard and killed. Tonya runs to tell Kris''s friends and they find his mutilated body lying there, they bury and him and hold a funeral Angela, Gabriel, Daniel attend also, knowing that they had a part in Kris''s death. Kris comes into Anna''s dreams and tells her that his soul is okay and that he is with Kami-Tora and Atsuki. Tonya overhears her friends talking about how their plan was a success, A furious Tonya storms in and tells them that she will get her revenge for them using her and leaves(note. From here through the rest of the Parallel Universe Saga Tonya goes rogue). The next day Tonya finds the portal but does not tell anyone, instead she finds Anna and challenges her to a battle, Anna beats her and Tonya tells Anna where the portal is, Anna asks her why she told her that Tonya answers that someone she cares about depends on it. Anna, Brandi, and Daraun arrive at the portal and are asked what their wish is, they wish for Kris to be brought back but they have a problem four people that want Kris back have to be present. Tonya and Company arrive and Tonya steps up to be the fourth person with no hesitation she then told her friends of her betrayal. Kris is brought back and is mobbed by Anna then by Daraun and Brandi, he thanks Tonya and Tonya thanks him for helping her realize how useless her friends really were.

The group is now briefed on the Elemental Masters( SwitchFire, Gaeshi, Chigau, Kyu, Dan, Gyro, and Jing) they are told that Ultima has an island and he has "invited" them as special guests of honor to fight in a small tournament. There are many battles that will be documented in the battle section of AU1

After the "defeat" of Ultima a secret organization called God-Tech claims that they have awaken the "Gods" (Alpha/Omega, Beta, Delta, Zeta, Gamma, and Epsilon). Kris and company battle the Gods and they seem impossible to beat. Until they find out God-Tech used humans to create these "Gods", they find a way to beat the others but Alpha has "evolved" into Omega and has become seemingly invincible. Gabriel joins the EM(Elemental Masters) and interferes with Kris''s battle with Omega he teams up with him and they "defeat" Omega.

Finally the big cheese, La and Na a sorcerer and sorceress who had been planning to destroy the AU for years stumble across the legend of the universe beasts. Finding out that these 8 beasts could destroy a universe or even create a new one the two resurrect them. Not knowing that the beasts could possibly be defeated, La and Na brag to Chigau about how they''re going to rule the universes. But Chigau tells Kami-Tora and Kris and friends are launched back into battle but this time it''s for the fate of all 3 universes. The universe beasts(Salamandou, Triplex Unda, Dryad, Shade, Core, Hikage, Metallo, and Ten Ken) go to the Universe Holyland where the battle of a life time will take place.

Here are the battles that happened during Alternate Universe (in order) that are significant to the AU cannon.

"Kris vs. Gabriel"
Gabriel challenges Kris to test their Ansatsukan skills in a battle, Kris accepts and the two turn out to be very evenly matched but the battle is broken up when Kami-Tora and Atsuki come. This battle did happen and ended as a draw.

"Brandi and Anna vs. Tonya and Angela"
Brandi and Anna are searching for Kris and Daraun, they find Tonya and Angela and are challenged to test their new skills. As the battle goes on Daniel interferes when Tonya and Angela are about to lose, Daraun comes in and beats the shit out of Daniel and Brandi and Anna go on to win the battle. This battle happened sometime after Kris and Gabriel''s, none of characters really give any clue.

"Kris vs. Fire Beast"
Takes place when Kris hears Tonya trying to defend herself, he saves Tonya and battles the beast he is really taking it to the thing but gets caught off guard and is killed. This battle obviously happened because Kris dies during the Parallel Universe Saga and that battle was how it happened.

"Tonya vs. Anna"
This battle happened and it took place after Tonya found the portal. She challenges Anna and Anna accepts, the battle raged on for a while, but Anna barely pulls a victory out(Tonya lost on purpose) Tonya tells Anna where the portal is and basically gives a hint of what her objective was.

"Brandi vs. SwitchFire"
Brandi and SwitchFire are drawn first to fight during Ultima''s Tournament. SwitchFire insults Brandi by saying "she wasn''t hot enough", don''t know what she meant by that but SwitchFire starts the battle off kicking Brandi''s ass. Brandi wins by throwing water all over SwitchFire with a near by bucket. This battle happened and it showed Kris and friends how tough beating the masters would really be.

"Gaeshi vs. Gabriel"
This battle happened and it wasn''t very pretty Gabriel beats the shit out of Gaeshi and Gaeshi transforms into a monster of some sort but it doesn''t help him Gabriel uses his superior technique the "Electric Driller" and kills Gaeshi.

"Gyro vs Anna"
Gyro and Anna turnout one of the best fights of the whole tournament behind Kris and Chigau''s. It was a windy and electrical show the whole way. Gyro has the advantage but goes overboard and uses his Hurricane, Anna finds the eye of the Hurricane and uses her "Blowout" technique and wins. This battle did happen and set the standard for the future battles.

"Jing vs. Tonya"
Jing and Tonya also turnout an explosive battle, the battle went back and forth, and every time one of the fighters got into a bind they got out of it with pure skill. Jing could turn her whole body into metal, that didn''t save her from Tonya''s "Metal Palm Strike" that will end up killing Jing. This battle happened and showed that even Tonya could become a big player in the AU universe.

"Kyu and Dan and Kris and Daraun"
The only tag-team battle during the whole tournament, Kyu and Dan are masters of tag-team battles and the Kokoro(spirit) style. Kris and Daraun had never fought in a real tag-team battle(except the Gundam Tournament but that doesn''t count). Kyu and Dan show their team work by isolating Kris throughout the battle and almost win the battle but they underestimate Daraun who uses his "Mana Blast" on Kyu. Kris then uses his "Dark Fist" for the first time on Dan and they win a truly physical battle. Oh yeah this battle happened...

"Kris vs. Chigau"
If the story ended here than this would have been the best battle of the whole AU series(but it doesn''t end here so I''ll say it''s the best of AU1). Anyway Kris and Chigau lock horns in a unique battle in the dark, why do you ask? Chigau wanted to see if Kris''s power was developed yet, the battle stayed close for a while both fighters used their superior techniques("Dark Fist" and "Dark Flash" but they still didn''t win. Chigau mysteriously forfeits the match and Kris is declared the winner. This battle happened.

"Daniel and Angela vs. Ultima"
Daniel and Angela challenge Ultima after Kris''s battle with Chigau, they say that they were disrespected by not being selected to fight. Ultima tells them that they were lucky because they are unworthy anyway. Daniel attacks Ultima and Angela tries to help, I wont go any further because these two get dominated by Ultima. Kris steps in and you should guess what happens next. This battle happened.

"Kris vs Ultima"
After Kris steps in and helps Daniel and Angela he and Ultima engage in a heated stare down. Ultima of course starts off with the advantage because he has all 8 elements at his disposal. Kris begins to turn the battle into more of a fight instead of a technique fest. Ultima gets his ass handed to him and Kris wins. He is about to kill Ultima but Chigau saves him and Ultima and his remaining Masters escape(Chigau, Kyu, Dan, and Gyro) escape. This battle definitely happened.

"Daniel vs. Beta"
Beta challenges Daniel to a battle and Daniel accepts of course, the battle starts with Beta and Daniel seeming evenly matched.(note the "Gods" do not possess elemental powers) Beta was toying with him all along and begins to kick his ass, Tonya interferes and helps Daniel win the battle(very embarrassing when your girlfriend helps you win a battle) This battle happened and Daniel yells at Tonya for saving his life, just pathetic.

"Tonya and Angela vs. Delta and Gamma"
An interesting battle which actually starts off with Tonya and Angela kicking Delta and Gamma''s ass(Delta and Gamma are both girls). But Delta and Gamma have a trick up their sleeves they can merge together and double their strength. Tonya and Angela are unfazed and kicks the merged Delta and Gamma''s ass anyway(there is no different name after they merge). Tonya and Angela argue over how their going to end the battle(again, just pathetic) Delta and Gamma recover and begin to gain the upper hand, until Gabriel interferes and kills Delta and Gamma with his now famous "Electric Driller" (note that Gabriel is now apart of the EM so his objectives and reason for interfering are unknown since he leaves immediately after getting his kill.) This battle happened.

"Brandi vs. Zeta"
This battle was very close throughout and Brandi proves that even she can fight with the best of them. Zeta turns out to be too strong and he overwhelms Brandi. Daraun interferes(there are interferences in every battle (except Daraun vs Epsilon) with the "Gods" He buys Brandi enough time to use the "Tri-Blaze" and kills Zeta. This battle happened.

"Daraun vs. Epsilon"
A great battle, this is the first time Daraun fights in a one on one. Epsilon''s strength unlike his counterparts is speed. And for most of the battle Daraun doesn''t even touch Epsilon, Daraun uses his "Armor of Rock" and "Chakra Clone" techniques which gives him the upper hand. Daraun gains the victory with his "Mana Blast". This battle happened.

"Kris vs Alpha/Omega"
(Early note Alpha evolves into Omega during the battle) This battle was topsy turvy throughout and it was very hard to tell who had the real advantage. Turns out that Alpha gains the advantage when he evolves into Omega, he kicks Kris'' ass and lets just say everyone imaginable interferes and get their ass kicked too but Gabriel interferes and helps his rival Kris defeat Omega.

4. Credits and Special Thanks

First I would like to thank God who gave me life and gave me the will to do what I love, and that''s make games.

I would like to thank my mom for having me and dealing with me for all these years and buying this computer that I was able to type this with.

My good friend Andrew Lynch, even though you joined the Army left and made the Titan Team a one man show I still love ya. Good luck out there and take care of yourself.

Tonya Muse for not going out with me when I was madly in love with you I needed a high-school situation to add to the story and you gave it to me. I still care about you and I hope you find that right guy.

Brandi Blas just for being you the girl I liked my Junior year when you get back in the states give me a call.

Anna Vest for befriending me during my lay-low senior year, and for being a manga freak, I love you and I hope you keep on drawing those Mangas, FOR ME!!!!

Orionx103 at GameDev.net for giving me the Idea for writing Pride: A Prelude to Alternate Universe.

RichardMV at GameDev.net for giving me some healthy advice and ultimately inspiring me to write this plot guide.

Various people who responded in the "New Capcom Fighting series" thread at SNK-Capcom.com.

Capcom for making Street Fighter, Megaman, the Vs series, Onimusha, Rival Schools, and the Street Fighter EX series special thanks to Arika who actually developed the game. Blair Dame and Allen Snyder rule!!!! I hope to develop the Alternate Universe Games for you guys and no other company!

Sega and the Sonic Team who made Sonic my first owned video game ever you guys keep on doing what your doing.

SNK for the King of Fighters series that brought me kicking and screaming to like another fighting series besides Street Fighter.

Square Enix for The Secret of Mana 1 & 2 and Final Fantasy 7 the two games that got me loving and wanting to make an RPG.

And You if you''re reading the FAQ of course.

It''s clear that you''ve put a very great deal of work into this document.

I didnt read all of the story, so sorry if I come across crass.

So I take it its a fighting game. What im wondering is, does it really need a hugely detailed plot? Actually, what I should say is, will the player care? Most people dont play fighting games to listen to the storyline, that’s what adventure games are for. I guess what im saying is that if it were me, I would be pressing ESC to skip all these just so I could beat the shit out of someone.

Think about if Need for Speed had a HUGE story behind it as to why you are racing. Would you want to sit there and listen to dialogue, or just do some racing? In the end, people will not care if the plot is ground breaking or not; if the racing side of it sucks, that’s all that matters. Like wise, the plot wont make ANY difference if the gameplay blows.

What are you trying to achieve by having a huge back plot? Are you trying to make a ''fighter-rpg''? Are you trying to make an interactive movie? What will it achieve?

I hope your not being sarcastic becuase I very well did, There was so Much more but I decided to leave some out by choice, especially the character descriptions. Thanks for reading it though.

I understand what you mean boolean fighting games don''t really have a plot. But what me and former Titan Team member Andrew Lynch believes is that fighting games should have more of a story and be more interactive. Since there is no such thing as a fighting RPG(although Square Enix''s "The Bouncer" is close, we decided to make an RPG and a fighter. We thought that it would be interesting to see how they play out. The fighter in which I mentioned is what my big idea is, imagine an online fighting game but with social elements like email, PM''s, dojos, and tournaments. It would be like an online fighting guild, I say this is a big idea becuase this has been done via Final Fantasy 11 but not with a Fighting game. More details will be in my Game Design Document for Alternate Universe fighting edition. Thanks for reading what you did though!!!!

Well I''ll have to work on the gameplay thing, my main thing was really making the story, thats what I do. My former partner was going to work on the RPG''s concept and I''m still working on the fighter''s concept. I wanted to just make characters and say you fight him, but I realized that the AU universe can be more. Many tell me that AU sounds more like RPG, I love fighting games and thats where PRIDE, RESPECT, SKILL came from I feel that those three words embody fighting and life itself people fight to gain those everyday.

Thanks for reading the Plot Guide if you have any questions please reply(that''s for anyone) my miscellaneous questions section for ver1.1 is empty right now.

quote: Original post by Chokki
interesting. I dont feel that the player will care too much on all of the dates, years, etc. I got lost keeping track myself.

So, a couple of questions or thoughts to ponder on:

-The name Tim Wilson. It sort of sticks out, from some of the other names. I sense a verny omni-present oriental feel to the game, and the poor American is stuck in the middle. Somebody call Chuck Norris, it would be a great movie..

That aside, be careful as to how much this game relies on any flavor of culture. You can turn off a lot of potential players by making it, hmm... "DBZ-ish?" just sayin''.


-As for the way the story is written - what happens during battles- how are you going to work that into a game? I see it written like a comic book or TV show, but.. the dynamics of the story aren''t well built for a game...

Anyhow, You remind me of many of the people I have known that have had potential stories for games: I ask them to tell me about their game, and they go to tell me about ''one guy with this awesome green sword who kicks some a** and kills all these monsters and stuff!''

These people made the problem of thinking more about what will happen in a game then about the game itself. In order to revise your story a bit, try to elaborate more on the characters and their roles in everything. All I get from reading what''s there now is a bunch of names that don''t really mean anything to me.

Ask yourself, "Are these people, or are they just names of images?" I only see the latter right now.

Ok, hope you take some of what I said into consideration. I see some potential in this idea. keep it up.

I''ll take every single bit of that into consideration, You''ll be in my Special thanks for Ver 1.1 in which i''m sure you will enjoy. Maybe if I would have put in the character descriptions maybe you would have known the characters roles. As for some of the names like Tim Wilson it''s my dads name(i''ve never seen him before), Tonya, Brandi, Daruan, Anna etc. are all based on people I know and as for Kris he''s based on me. I thought that would give me more of a connection to my story.
