Chapter 4- Rising Dragon, Fallen Angel

(Disclaimer- I do not own any of these characters. Namco and Capcom do.)

"Alright Jin, if you want my help, then you must earn it. Give it your all." Ryu and Jin both adjust their gloves and assumed their fighting stances. Chun Li and Asuka both stood to the sides. The energy in the room was tense.

Jin rushed Ryu with a punch, but Ryu was faster than Jin anticipated. Not only did Ryu evade Jin's attack, Ryu had enough time step to the side and roundhouse kick Jin. Jin barely blocked the attack. It set him off balance which led Ryu to rush in with a barrage of punches and kicks. After blocking maybe half of Ryu's attacks that mostly worked Jin's core, Jin finally caught an opening and sent a left hook slamming into Ryu's jaw.

Ryu backed off a bit. Instead of rushing in to attack Ryu again, Jin took a short break and planned his next move carefully before attacking Ryu again. Ryu didn't give Jin much time to think. Before Jin knew it, Ryu had vaulted into the air and came flying towards him. Jin hopped back but when Ryu landed, he immediately did a leg sweep that knocked Jin over.

SHORYUKEN!

Ryu performed one of his more famous moves. He caught Jin square in the jaw right after the leg sweep. As Jin fell Ryu backed up and focused another attack. Jin rolled back and recovered into his fighting stance but as soon as he got up another attack hit him.

HADOKEN!

Ryu's signature move, the Hadoken, was unlike anything Jin had ever seen before. Jin was able to focus his chi and it made some of his attacks stronger, but he was never able to form a projectile like Ryu's. Jin knew he was losing badly. He had to focus.

Ryu charged up another shot and sent it flying towards Jin. Jin somersaulted over it and led into his own version of Ryu's shoryuken. It connected with Ryu's abdomen and sent Ryu flying back. Ryu recovered but Jin didn't let up. As soon as Ryu could assume his fighting stance, he was blocking a flurry of punches and kicks from Jin. Jin focused another punch into Ryu's ribs, almost cracking a few. Ryu staggered for a split second. Jin took the opportunity to send a roundhouse kick into Ryu's head.

Ryu looked at Jin. A dark aura was enveloping him. Ryu didn't hesistate. He rolled towards Jin and unleashed his another signature attack.

SHINKU HADOKEN!

Everyone in the room was blinded for a second, but they all still felt the evil presence. As soon as the light from Ryu's attack subsided, the true horror awaited. Jin was still standing, and what was worse? His black wings had emerged from his back and his now evil eyes were glaring at Ryu.

He flew up into the air and then gave swooping towards Ryu with a kick. Ryu blocked but was still knocked over. Ryu needed to end this before things got out of hand. Ryu waited for Devil Jin to swoop down again. Time seemed to slow down for Ryu. Seeing the opening in Devil Jin's attack, Ryu sent a hard punch to Devil Jin's core. It caused him to stagger over for a split second. Then Ryu concentrated everything he had into this last attack.

SHIN SHORYUKEN!

The sound Ryu's attack made was almost sickening. It sounded like a mixture of lightning and bones cracking. Jin's body flew away and he did not get back up after he landed. Ryu fell down feeling exhausted causing Chun Li to run to his side and sit him up. Asuka ran to her cousin who was still taken over by the devil gene. She touched his arm and focused. Soon the tattoos, horns, and wings on Jin's body disappeared. Jin opened his eyes for a second, then passed out.
