Author's Note: Hello, readers, it's Daisuke Haoru once again! I know I still have incomplete works in my page, but I put myself to the challenge with this one. As risky as this is, I decided to do a Dragon Ball Z/Street Fighter crossover. I'm running the risk of getting flamed for this story but I decided to go through it because I felt this is what can be done, in my point of view anyway. So I will warn you that if you don't like what I wrote, simply click on the back button, but if you want to criticize my work on what can be done with spelling, punctuation, or any other corrections, then that's okay too. Yes, in this story, I have the two characters balanced for this fight. Yes, we all know Goku is way too strong for anyone, but this is done for the sake of a crossover I wanted to do for a long time, so if you think Goku should win this fight by utterly killing Ryu, then do not read this story. But for those that want to enjoy a story with as much action a person can deliver, do go on ahead and read it.
PANDORA
The Wandering Warrior and the Earth's Greatest Defender
Pandora's Box. It is a myth in which a box held all sickness and negative emotions but in there was Hope locked into it. But it came to Earth as a mysterious box that landed in Antarctica, and with it being the targets of many people, including fighters. But what are its mysterious powers?
A barren wasteland had a gust blowing through it. The sky was open, without clouds getting in the way. A sudden charge of electricity in the form of a sphere appeared. With the dust gathering in that area, a young man with spiky black hair and an orange gi with a blue undershirt appeared. He looked around the wasteland, wondering where he was. "This is pretty strange… I was with Gohan just now and all of a sudden I'm here… What gives?" he said. This young man was none other than…
Earth's Greatest Defender
Goku
He looked at the wasteland for any other signs of life. All he saw was mountains surrounding most of the area and a sea. He walked towards the body of water. "How did I end up here?" he asked himself until another charge of electricity appeared near the area where Goku himself appeared. Another person had appeared, kneeling down, panting. Who is that? Goku wondered as he approached. The man that had arrived looked up and then around. This person was wearing a white gi, with red gloves and a red headband. This person was…
The Wandering Warrior
Ryu
He stood up, holding his head. "What happened?" he asked. "I remember that Ken and I were…" he stopped and looked at the area once again. "This… this isn't where Pandora is…" he said, as he remembered the last area he was in: Antarctica. He looked at a person walking to him. "Ken?" asked Ryu. "Ken? Who's that?" asked the person, as Ryu's vision had become a little clearer. The person wasn't Ken, but Goku. "Who are you?" asked Ryu. "I'm Goku. Who are you?" asked Goku. "I'm Ryu," he greeted, "do you know where we are?" "I can't say I do…" said Goku. Ryu looked at Goku and then looked around, "wherever we are, there's probably a purpose we are here for…" Goku looked at Ryu as he smiled, "so you're a fighter, too?" "If a challenge is a must here, yes," replied Ryu. "It's nice to fight someone new," said Goku, as a gust began to clear some of the dust away. "Then I accept your challenge, Goku," said Ryu, as he prepared himself, tightening his headband and belt and adjusting his gloves. "I'm gonna win this, Ryu!" said Goku with enthusiasm. "Then let's begin, Goku," said Ryu, as the two prepared themselves in their fighting stances…
IT'S THE BATTLE OF THE CENTURY!
FIGHT!
Goku began with a dash towards Ryu, throwing a punch at him, with Ryu parrying him to the side, causing Goku to lose balance. Ryu took a step to the side and threw a knee towards him, but Goku countered with a kick to his knee, causing the two to bounce off and away from each other. Ryu ran towards Goku as Goku dashed to him. The two began to throw quick punches at each other. With every punch thrown, they parried and deflected each one until the two managed to land a hit in each other's guts. The two stopped and backed away for a brief moment, until Goku dashed at Ryu once again. Goku threw a roundhouse, with Ryu parrying it and delivered a Solar Plexus Strike, with Goku dodging and countering it with a sweep. Ryu pushed Goku and missed the sweep. Ryu stepped forward and began to focus, with a dark-like aura emanating from him. Goku dashed to him and as Ryu stepped forward with a fist, Goku stepped back, leaving Ryu open for a Smashing Elbow Attack, successfully hitting the defenseless Ryu and sending him back. Ryu recovered from the fall and Goku dashed to him, with a Dancing Kick. With quick reflexes, Ryu stepped back and raised his knee. "TATSUMAKI!" he shouted as he spun with his leg, hitting with Goku's Dancing Kick. With the two landing on their feet and turning towards each other, the two began to throw fists at each other again. Goku is incredibly fast, thought Ryu, as he kept fighting off Goku's punches. This guy is good, he can keep up with me, thought Goku, until the two pushed each other of. Goku flipped forward for a kick, with Ryu blocking it and pushing him away, leaving Goku open and landing a Joudan Sokuto Geri towards Goku's gut, sending him flying back, but with him recovering. Goku dashed forward once again, with Ryu throwing a kick to him, but Goku disappeared. "What?" Ryu said as he was struck from behind with Goku's Arrow Knee. He reappeared above Ryu, striking him down to the ground. As Ryu landed, he saw Goku ready to hit again with a Dive Kick, but Ryu stood up and threw his fist in the air, parrying Goku's kick to the side and having him land next to him, with Ryu countering with two hits, grabbing Goku by his gi's neck and throwing him to the ground over his shoulder. Ryu stepped back as Goku recovered and delivered a kick to Ryu's left side, with Ryu blocking him, being pushed to the side. Goku prepared an Arrow Knee to strike Ryu again, but he stepped back and missed the attack, with Ryu jumping towards him and grabbing him in the air, once again slamming him to the ground. Goku recovered and saw as Ryu dashed at him. "Take it!" shouted Goku as he began to shoot Ki blasts at Ryu, with him dodging them. As Ryu reached him, he threw some punches at Goku, with Goku missing them until he felt an uppercut hit him, leaving Goku open. "Hadouken!" shouted Ryu as he fired a Hadouken at the open Goku, only to miss and have Goku strike him with a Ki blast. Ryu took the hit and stepped back as Goku began to fire more Ki blasts. Ryu stepped back again and focused as he entered his Hadouken stance then fired a Ren Hadouken*, causing to explode the oncoming Ki blasts and hitting Goku, blasting him into the air. Goku recovered and stayed in midair, diving towards Ryu and disappearing. Ryu looked around and Goku reappeared behind him, kicking him into the air, rushing at him with a flurry of attacks. He knocked him down in to the ground and fired more Ki blasts. Ryu took all hits and stood up, as Goku landed at a certain distance, standing in a certain stance. "Ka… me… ha… me…" said Goku as he cupped his hands next to him, with Ki charging between them. Ryu stood in the same pose as he did the same, "Shinkuu…"
"HAAAA!"
"HADOUKEN!"
The two fired their energy and they began to clash against each other. With the two beams hitting, Ryu stopped and side stepped to avoid Goku's Kamehameha. Goku ended firing the Kamehameha, but was hit with Ryu's fist, impacting and sending him up into the air. With Goku left open, Ryu followed him in the air, with a string of hits connecting, with a kick ending his string of attacks and sending Goku to the ground. With Goku recovering and avoiding a hit on the ground, he stood on his feet as Ryu landed. Goku rushed to him and the two began to throw punches at each other, parrying and deflecting each other. They pushed each other away and Goku fired his Ki blast, with Ryu countering them with his Baku Hadouken*. Goku gathered energy and let a shockwave out. "KAIOKEN!" he shouted as his body began to give out a red aura. "HADOU KAKUSEI*!" shouted Ryu as he let out a blue aura and his body began to emanate it. The two began to throw their flurry of attacks once again and with Goku landing an Arrow Knee to Ryu's jaw. Ryu landed on his feet and saw Goku dash at him for an overhead kick. "Hadou…" mumbled Ryu as Goku left himself open, "Shoryuken*!" As Goku felt the hit of the uppercut, he was sent to the air with the blast from the Hadou Shoryuken. As Goku recovered and flew towards Ryu for a Dive Kick, Ryu turned his back towards Goku. "SHIN…" shouted Ryu, "TATSUMAKI SENPUU KYAKU!" Ryu spun with dust surrounding him, forming a hurricane and sucking Goku into the attacks vortex, getting hit with every kick dealt by the attack and sending Goku fly back. Goku recovered in midair and dashed at Ryu using his Hasshu-ken, striking Ryu extremely fast and sending him flying, hitting rocks. As Ryu coughed and got up from the impact against the rocks, Goku landed, with both his Kaioken and Ryu's Hadou Kakusei wearing off. Goku cupped his hands once again and began to charge his Kamehameha, "Ka… me… ha… me..." Ryu stood up and did the same, gathering energy, but with it turning into a violet color, "Metsu…" "HAAA!" shouted Goku as he fired the beam. "HADOUKEN!" shouted Ryu as he fired the Metsu Hadouken in the same way. The two beams collided and began a struggle. As Goku and Ryu struggled to keep up, Goku's Kamehameha pushed the Metsu Hadouken more until it struck Ryu. "GYAAAAAAAAA!" he cried as the Kamehameha hit, but an enormous wave of energy emanating from Ryu split the Kamehameha and disintegrated it. Goku finished firing his Kamehameha, as he noticed a dark aura around Ryu. It blasted more from him and it disappeared, with Ryu standing and hunched down. "Ryu?" asked Goku. Ryu looked different, his hair changed to a red coloring, his gi turned dark blue, and his skin a darker tone.
"At last, I have awoken…"
Hatred Incarnate
Evil Ryu
Ryu stomped the ground as he looked at his rival's eyes with his own red glowing eyes. "All that strength, he gained it just from that?" asked Goku, "then I have no other choice… HAAAAH!" Goku gave an emanating glow and his hair began to change color, spiking up as well…
Earth's Greatest Defender Strengthened
Super Saiyan Goku
The two fighters, now stronger, stood in the wasteland looking at each other with intensity. "I hope you're ready!" said Goku as he stood into his fighting stance. "I have no use for talk. If you wish to challenge me, let our fists do the talking!" said Ryu as he stomped the ground. Silence between two came across. Then, the two rushed for each other, fists clenched and ready to strike.
TO BE CONTINUED…
End Note: This ends Chapter 1 of this fanfiction. Do note that most of Ryu's moves are not made up. The ones marked with a star are actually moves that were implemented in ULTIMATE MARVEL VS CAPCOM 3 and I'm also trying to implement the Ryu from Asura's Wrath to be helpful in this fight. I've heard it several times, Goku can simply win against Ryu, but this is a fanfiction where I'm trying my best to make it work and make it as epic as possible. I do hope I did my best with this one, and if you liked it, please leave a review. Until then, I'll see you all in the next chapter. Daisuke Haoru out.
