Mai-Otome X Capcom - Ken and Ryu's scenario #1: An Old Friend

P.S. I don't own Street Fighter, Mai-Otome, or any of their trademarks. The Characters are owned respectively by Capcom and Sunrise.

"Natsuki Kruger, before becoming a Meister Otome and Headmistress of Garderobe, had once fought with a man who's purpose is to seek stronger opponents. Since she is now the current headmistress, when is the time she would cross paths with him?"

Natsuki: [looking on through her office window] That man... I presume he still continues his journey to search stronger opponents.

Shizuru: Hmm, come to think before graduating, you made up your mind fighting him? [giggles]

Then Natsuki begins her flashbacks upon recalling her first match against Ryu.

Natsuki: [runs into Ryu, panting afterwards.] Finally! I know you are still continuing your quest of a true warrior.

Ryu: An Otome? [drops his duffel bag]

Natsuki materializes to his Coral Robe, and a battle ensues.

Ryu: Interesting, I'm happily to spar with you, young lady!

Natsuki gains the first attack, following with Ryu tripping the latter with a low sweep.

Ryu: Hadoken! [as he executes that very move, with Natsuki dodging it afterwards]

After exchanging few blows, Natsuki is about to execute a Shoryuken on Ryu, with Ryu himself countering with the same move.

Ryu: Shoryuken! *EX Focus Cancel* Metsu... [he charges into the Metsu Hadoken] ...Hadoken!

Natsuki lost the fight afterwards.

Natsuki: [gasping] I can't believe how strong you are... I've never been to get an opportunity to face you.

Ryu: Thank you. When you get stronger by the next time we meet, I'm waiting for a better challenge.

We turn back to the present day.

Natsuki: From that day, until now... I engraved his words into my heart even until the point I have gained the position as the Headmistress.

Shizuru: I see... You still want to fight him, Natsuki?

Natsuki: Maybe you're right, Shizuru. Ryu has gained eternal rivalries throughout his journey. And I think I would be worthy to be one.

Somebody knocks the door...

Natsuki: [looks on the door] Who is it? [she opens the door] ...Ryu?! [shocked]

Ryu: Natsuki? You're the headmistress of Garderobe?

Author's NOTE: This is just part one of the scenario.

PS. This is also dedicated to Kyle Hebert (Ryu's Voice Actor), for his birthday is tomorrow. Happy Birthday Kyle!
