He had mystical powers, and always beat the villain sometimes easily and sometimes barely. These mystical powers were passed down generation by generation. The fighter in the present day Brandon decided to go to the 100 years in to the future with a time machine. When the fighter arrived he saw a world with robots that served humans and floating hoverboards. He was so amazed by the technology that he almost fainted.

The people had to do nothing but just relax. After seven hours of decision making he decided to stay. The villain in brandon’s original timeline saw that he wasn’t there, he laughs hahaha and started planning his attack. In the future Brandon is relaxing in peace. The villain attacked. It only took him half of a day to destroy half of the world.

Brandon’s workers went into the future and tried to convince him to come back they also said that the villain has destroyed half of the world.Brandon replied it’s no use going back he has already destroyed half of the world, but he didn't know that if the villain destroyed the present, the future would not exist. In a day he destroyed the world in the present. As soon as  he destroyed the present, the future was destroyed too and there was nothing left.
