The suspense could be cut with a butter knife as the crowd cheered in anticipation for the fight to began. Ryu and Ken couldn't believe what was before their eyes. Finally, the bell rong signaling the fight to begin.
Ken: How does this boy knows shotokan style like ours?

Ryu: I don't know. But he's hiding his ki.

Ken: I don't understand why, it's not like that idiot dan could sense ki in the first place. But I also wonder how high his ki will reach.

Sakura: Haha, it seems I found a new rival!!

Ken: We can't say anything for certain until this fight actually starts.

Dan made a cocky grin across his face as he spoke.

Dan: It's sad really, for my last competitor to be nothing but a mere child. I wanted a true challenge to my road to glory. Oh well, I guess I settle for what I can get.

The boy didn't say a word. He stared there, and if eyes could kill, Dan would already be dead. Dan seem irriated by the constant silence of the boy. The possiblity of this boy not being afraid of dan angered him. Recklessly, he launched into an attack. He attempted a jump kick through the air. Seconds before the kick reached the boy's face, he ducked underneath the wild attack. Dan turned around as shinta grabbed dan's gi, and thrown him over his shoulder. Dan landed back first into the ground. Embarassment fueled his fury as he quickly return to his feet. Dan dashed foward, and attempted a side kick. But shizumaru easily caught it with his left arm underneath his shoulders, and perform a reverse roundhouse across dan's face. Dan fliped at least 3 times before landing face first to the canvas.

Shinta just stood there, looking over him almost like a tiger ready for the final strike. He wasn't even in his stance anymore as he looked like he was huffing and puffing. ( like evil ryu's stance. )
Dan looked at the boy, now fear gracing his face as shinta eyes seem to pierce into dan's soul. But Dan gather enough courage to raise to his feet. A huge bruise across his right cheek from the devastating roundhouse kick.

Dan: I have underestimated you, kid. You have proof me that a warrior is still a warrior no matter what is his age. For that, I will deliver you a honorable defeat at the hands of my shin kuu gadou ken!!

Dan brought his left arm back, his palm facing up as greenish energy formed in his hand. Dan began to focus all his ki into that one palm as he was ready to unleash one of his strongest attacks. This shin kuu gadou ken.

Suddenly, Shinta's eye burn with a redish fire, and his bandana almost seem to be flying from wind coming from the ground. Shinta's hair twirl as Ryu and Ken watch in shock.

Ken: Oh my god, that's....

Ryu: Dark Hadou.....

The burning eyes could be seen as a demon itself inside shinta. Horror could be seen in the eyes of dan, but still, he gathered the courage as he sent his palm fowards.

Shin Kuu Gadou Ken!!!

A huge wave of greenish energy speeded it's way towards shinta. Suddenly, Shinta performs the ashura senkuu and fazes through the shin kuu gadou ken. Dan left himself wide open believing that attack would finish him off.

Shoryuken!!

The devastating dragon punch launch dan into the air as he landed outside the ring, unconscious. Gracefully landed, Shinta just stood there, looking towards his fallen opponent. The crowd cheered as the announcer enter the ring.
Announcer: Oh my god, an amazing upset!! Ladies and gentleman, welcome the newest champion of the asian martial arts tournment. Shinta!!

The crowd went wild like never before as the announcer went to go raise shinta's hand in victory. But suddenly, a stretcher game from the back. Shinta walked outside the ring as he stood over the unconscious body. The crowd grew quiet in anticapation over what the kid was going to do. Shinta grabbed Dan's shirt into what seem to be the final blow to end Dan's career, and his life. But suprisely, he tossed dan into his shoulder, and carried him into the stretcher. He layed him down as the doctors began to rush him towards the back.

Announcer: Ladies and Gentlemen, what a surprising display of sportsmanship. This is my first time witnessing such great respect between two warriors. Now ladies and gentlemen, let's hear it for the youngest champion ever in the asian martial arts tournment, Shinta!!

Again, the crowd went crazy as paper, balloons, and fireworks raced through the stadium like the fourth of july. Ken still couldn't comprehend what was going on.

Ken: This makes no sense. I can almost guarentee that he uses not only shotokan karate, but the dark hadou as well. Yet he helped Dan towards the stretcher? What's up with that?

Ryu: I don't know. But that was definitely dark hadou. He performed the ashura senkuu, a teleporation move only use in the dark shotokan arts. That ki was so much like akuma's. That anger and thirst for blood. Yet it seems that their lay pieces of his soul that still retain goodness.

Suddenly, he looks back at shinta, and suprisely, shinta was staring right at ryu. His eyes now back to it's original color, but still retaining it's piercing stare.

Ken: He's look right at you Ryu.

Ryu: I know, he senses my ki. But those eyes, they aren't eyes of hostility anymore, but they seem more to be searching for something. I don't know what. It's too bad shinta's full ki couldn't be revealed, I would love to see how strong he was.

Ken: You might get your chance, I saw we follow him.
