[edit] Story
One night, in a ruined temple near the plantation of her cousin Izumi in Borneo, Yoko witnesses a young girl arriving from the far future in a time machine. As one of the men who set up the time machine's beacon shoots the girl, Yoko interferes and uses her aikido to throw him on the ground. To her great surprise, the man then disintegrates. Yoko tends to the girl, who tells her that her name is Monya and that she has been sent to this epoch to find and kill a certain Stephen Webbs. Webbs' research on antimatter led to the development of a weapon that destroyed the entire Earth in 3872.
Yoko and Monya travel to Sulawesi and meet Webbs in his research center on top of Dragon Mountain. Using the time machine, called translator, Yoko travels back to 1943 to find out more about the strange 'creature' hiding in Dragon Mountain through her great-uncle, who was an army officer in Sulawesi during the Japanese occupation in World War II. But as Yoko learns more, the creature becomes aggressive, killing several people both in the past and present, including Webbs. Before he dies, however, Webbs manages to effect an anti-matter reaction inside the creature, but the resulting chain reaction destroys the mountain lab.
After some investigation, Monya finds out that with the death of Webbs and the destruction of his research, they have created an alternative future to which she cannot return. So she decides to stay in Borneo as Izumi's adopted daughter.
