SYPNOSIS:
In a world where Elecbyte's game M.U.G.E.N. becomes quickly popular with kids, teens, and young adults even to this day, 12-year-old Takeshi Miyamoto was an avid junkie of this game despite the chagrin of his family that the game is tolling on his responsibilities. But he recieves a message on his smartphone that he must arrive on a train station carrying his laptop with the M.U.G.E.N. program installed. He accepts. Later, however, Takeshi finds this to be a trap set by an evil and mysterious organization T.R.O.L.L.S., who knock him out, steal his laptop, and use it to download a strange piece of software (tinted with black magic) that can bring the game characters to the real world and put them under T.R.O.L.L.S.'s control. Takeshi then wakes up, and tries to stop them, but to no avail. However, one of the henchman appears to be undercover, and turns on the rest of the gang. His name is Kouchi Souta. Kouchi is working for the FBI, and is investigating computer crimes. Kouchi gives Takeshi a scanner-like device that allows him to transport to another dimension where players can play M.U.G.E.N. for real. Join Takeshi and his pals as they transform into their favorite M.U.G.E.N. fighters and battle to the end, go on quests throughout many kinds of lands, and battle the evil forces of T.R.O.L.L.S., and those who support them!
