Chapter 1…………….Breakdown
Somewhere in the United States, Forest Clearing
The Lord is my Shepard, I shall not want.
A man in his early twenties was on his knees in frantic prayer. He wore a grey T-shirt and blue jeans with red/white sneakers. The jeans and shirt were soaked in blood. In his hand he held a bloody hunting knife.
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures; He leadeth me beside the still waters.
The young man had been wandering through the forest when a stranger attacked him for no reason. He tried to get the attacker to stop, before he lost all control…..
Yea, though the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and staff they comfort me.
The young man was rocking back and forth on the ground, gripping tightly on a golden crucifix on his neck. "How could this happen again? I thought I could control this….urge. This lust for blood…."
Thou preparest a table in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head in oil; my cup runneth over.
The young man continued his prayers in sobbing fits of terror. If God couldn't save him from this sickness within him, who could? He opened his eyes to look over the man he had just killed. He was a tall blonde with a handsome face and a slightly muscular build. Beside his body lay a claw and mask made of steel. There were slash marks all over his chest and throat. The young man closed his frightened pale blue eyes and continued to pray.
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever. AMEN
The man tucked away his knife and hid the body of the man he had just killed. Before he turned to leave the forest, he looked into the sky and screamed. "LORD, PLEASE STOP THIS! TAKE MY LIFE IF YOU MUST, JUST DON'T LET ANOTHER PERSON DIE BECAUSE OF ME ……like Pricilla. This is your servant, Reuben Seward. Please save me………..no one else can………" With that realization, he fell to his knees again, and cried himself to sleep.
Tokyo, Japan.
Alex's POV
Damnmit! Everywhere I go, this same girl finds me! I don't know if she wants me to marry her or what! She's about 18, so she's legal if I actually had any interest in her….but she is ANNOYING! My wrestling matches, my training sessions, even my trips to local nightclubs, she's there watching me like a hawk. Ever since I managed to beat that Demigod-wannnabe Gill in the tournament, she's been following me. She's cute enough I guess….. about medium height, brown hair that barely comes down past the shoulders, big green eyes, and a lean, shapely body. But why the hell is she following me around?
Normal POV
Alex walked up the subway and saw the girl that had been stalking him ever since the Third World Warrior Tournament had ended. She was wearing a light pink top and light blue shorts with pink and white shoes. (Addidas) "HI YA ALEX! How have you been?" The girl was clearly excited to see her idol in front of her. "Hello Michelle. Look, don't you get tired of following me around?" Alex was exasperated with her, but was trying to let her down easy. After all, she had been nothing but nice to him, and as long as she didn't try to kill him or anything, she was practically harmless. So he thought.
"Look over here fellas!" A huge man with a Mohawk appeared along with two other thugs, both youthful and appearing to be rather strong. "Looks like we got ourselves quite the hottie around here." At this his associates laughed as he put his hand on her chin raising it up so that she would look up at him.
"Leave the girl alone." Alex said as he dropped his suitcase and undid his tie and shirt.
"And if I don't….."
"Then it's a one way trip strait to hell, courtesy of ME!" Alex roared, ready for battle.
"Alex, that won't be necessary." Michelle said. stroking the chest of the large thug. "I'm more than capable of handling the situation." The look in her eyes turned from the look of an innocent, happy go lucky teen to a look of intense anger. She struck without warning.
"Koryuken!" She nailed a painful uppercut straight to the jaw of the thug. Sending him into the air. She next turned her attentions to the other two thugs. One came at her with a thrust kick. Michelle merely caught the kick and flipped him over onto the hard concrete floor. The last one came and hit her in the jaw. She grabbed him and landed a hard blow to his abdomen. She focused her energy and began assaulting her opponent. "HISSHO……BURAIKEN!" Michelle leveled her opponent with a stunning series of punches and kicks, until an uppercut sent him through a parked subway car.
"That's what happens when you piss off Michelle Hibiki: Daughter of Dan Hibiki and master of the Saikiyo Style of Karate!" She brushed some dirt off of her shorts and shirt, and turned to face her idol. "Alex, are you alright?" Alex looked over at her, amazed at the carnage that had just unfolded in front of him. Impossible! There is NO WAY IN HELL that Dan Hibiki could have taught her those moves. I mean the guy was an absolute joke! Suddenly Alex broke into a hysterical fit of laughter. "With all due respect, if your Dad taught you how to fight, I don't think beating up on a couple of thugs proves anything. Your father's style is nothing more than a rip-off of that Shotokan crap. Go learn some real moves and drop that nonsense before someone breaks your little heart." Alex kept laughing. But Michelle wasn't taking it. She prepared to attack. "I mean, doesn't that little Gadoken fireball goes about two inches from his hand. It shouldn't even be considered a Ki move! "GADOKEN!" Alex didn't even see it coming. The fireball hit him with a great deal of force, knocking him to the ground. "Get up!"
Alex was taken aback by the tone in which she spoke. The sweet, innocent voice with which she had spoken earlier had been replaced with the voice of an angry, powerful fighter with the fate of her family's fighting art in her care. "I have two rules I live by. One, never allow someone to take advantage of me. Two, NEVER allow anyone to make fun of my father or the fighting style he worked so hard to create. You broke rule number two." Michelle eased back into her fighting stance as Alex got up. "You wanna take a cheap shot at me…….that's fine. When I'm done with you, you'll wish your father had kept that crappy style to himself! C'mon!"
As Alex got into his wrestling stance, he and Michelle circled one another, waiting for the other to move first. With a fierce battle cry, Michelle launched herself at the new Street Fighter champion.....
Well that's all for the first chappie peoples. I'll leave a bio for one of my OC's at the end of every chapter, so you can learn a little about each character. Here's the first:

Bio: Reuben was once a quiet, peaceful teenager who was planning to go to college and marry his childhood friend, Pricilla. But on a cold December morning, they came across a group of drunken gangsters. They attacked him and then tried to rape his girlfriend. Under this great stress, something very evil woke up inside of him and he lost control. He managed to grab a knife from one of his captors and proceeded to kill all of the thugs. But in this fit of rage, he also stabbed his girlfriend to death. When he discovered what he had done, he ran away, afraid not only of what would happen if the authorities found him, but also of what would happen if he lost control again. He weeps bitterly for his love and begins to wander the world in constant prayer, killing anyone who comes in contact with him. Reuben is unaware that there are evil forces watching him, preparing to use him as an instrument in a scheme of world domination.........

Cold Steel Slash: A front slash with the hunting knife, similar to Alex's Flash chop, except with a weapon.
Rising Slash: Reuben rises into the air in a Shoryuken-like maneuver, slashing his opponent.
Falling Slash: After the Rising Slash, Reuben dives downward and slashes at his opponent again.
Fall from Grace: A combination in which Reuben connects with several punches and kicks before he stabs his opponent.
Final Judgment Slash: A series of Cold Steel Slashes followed by a Rising Slash.
