Two years after SF3, in an abandon warehouse, San Fransico, USA 12:35 a.m.

And the mist of the darkness that is within the building of a used and nearly destroyed hotel, lerks three shadowy hidden figures, with only the their white eyes being visible.

"Is the plan ready to be set in motion, Dark 3?", a man with a threatening voice spoke.

"Yes lord 1, we have sent notifications to the world's best known fighter, Ryu the man who was able to tap into the power of the Darkness.", Dark 3 spoke up with respect.

"Okay that will be all for now when the letter reaches Ryu, let me know at once, is that understood?", their lord said as he glanced at his hand that glue with a large pulse of blue energy lighting the room, chuckling as he exited the room.

After he was from their sight the one that was quite spoke.

"Do you truly believe that Ryu will come and seek out the master?", the one who spoke with a calm voice said.

"Who knows, according to Gill's assessment prior him leaving our union Ryu seemed to have suppressed that almighty power during the third World Warrior tournament. So it highly unlikely that even if Ryu does come it will not be of any use unless we're missing something that master isn't telling.", he said as he made his leave from the hotel and left Dark 3 to deal with how he'd would handle it.

Rio de Janeiro, Brazil 1:50 p.m.

On a deserted part of this beautiful beach were two figures who were sparring with one another. One was the right in a red karate gi, brown sparring fingerless gloves, and long blonde hair that reach to his mid back again with a red headband that holds his hair into place.

On the left was one that was wearing a similar gi except it's white and and a bit damaged with ripped sleeves and pants legs around the ankle. also this figure was sporting a similar red headband to the other tied arounded his black hair, also with the belt has four kanji emblazoned upon it, with similar gloves but red instead.

The blonde ran towards the white wearing gi one and went for a roundhouse kick, but the other man easily blocked the attack and parried and attempted an axe kick but the red wearing one was too fast and dodged the attack, which resulted in sand being splattered into the air. As the sand fell down the one and white was shocked and searched around the area to see if he could get a vibe on his location.

After a few seconds, the one and white smirked and preformed the Shin Shoryuken.

"Shin!", he yelled as sand was blown away from his location. as he said this there was a flash of light that made itself known after the two connected with two symmetrical blows with their right fists. afterwards they were knocked apart, the white was put in a crater and the red was knocked back in the sky a little vertically.

They both came back with their left fist and said in unison.

"Shoryuken!", they yelled and collided with devastating force that rocked the beach and then there was an explosion, followed by smoke.

As it cleared both figures were standing once again from each other and the blonde spoke up.

"Heh... it seems you still got it Ryu, you haven't lost your moves I see.", the blonde said cheerfully.

"Yeah, the same could be said for you your Hadouken's Ki manipulation is better than it was two years ago and your speed is incrdeble Ken.", Ryu said a he approached Ken wiping some sweat off of his forehead.

"Well, I have motivations. Speaking of which you told me you were going back to America soon. Is that true?", Ken asked his best friend, as he took a sip of water awaiting a answer.

"Yeah, but look don't tell Sakura san about this because I promised to train her but I received urgent news... the Satsui no Hadou.", Ryu said as he looked into the distance where the sun was beginning to set into the ocean.

"What of it? Are you trying to make sure she doesn't have to go trough with what you had to?", Ken asked as he too looked into the ocean. Ryu 'mmhmm' him to give him an answer.

"Well, look. I'll have Sakura stay with Eliza and Mel for the time being while I go with you...", Ken said as he slipped on his socks and shoes. "Besides you need someone to keep you from getting carried away.", Ken said as he turned around smiling at a stunned Ryu who also smiled back.

Alright guys this another oneshot I wanted to try a Street Fighter fic that took place after the Third Strike to see if I could do a 'little preview of the series direction'. So what do you think should I continue or just leave it at that and be done with it? It's up to you though so Let me know in PMs, or Reveiws. Thanks for your time.
