Street Fighter: Endless Path
Chapter 41: Mercy & Revenge
The Island of the Secret Society
"Long have I waited for this day, Sagat," Dan said finding him in deep thought by the waterfall. "I, Dan Hibiki, of the Saikyo Ryu school, have come to avenge the murder of my father, Go Hibiki. Face me now and meet your destiny!"
"I have come to the island for honest and honorable competition, nothing more. If we meet in the tournament, so be it. But I will not face you anywhere outside of it."
"I have shed too much and cried so many tears (Cried? Seriously?) in preparing for this day for you to deny me my revenge. Fight me, unless the legendary Sagat is too much of a coward to meet my vengeful fists!"
"Do not devote your life for revenge. It is an empty, unfulfilling quest that will give you nothing."
"If you won't face me willingly, then I have no choice!"
Dan tried to strike but...
"Stop this, and be grateful that I'm sparing you from an embarrassing defeat."
But Dan would hear none of it as he laid blow after blow on Sagat, but the King of Muay Thai blocked every one of them.
"KORYU..."
"THIS IS OVER!" Sagat got Dan by the throat, stopping the attack completely and kneed him in the gut. After leaving him doubling over...
"Leave now with your dignity intact."
"NEVER!"
Dan ambushed Sagat with a jump kick. "As long as I draw breath, I will not stop until I humble you, just like my father did when he took your eye!"
That right there forced Sagat's hand...
"ENOUGH!" Sagat struck Dan with a vicious elbow, followed by a powerful roundhouse.
"Go was a fool to submit to me when our fight was over! Do not blame me for his stupidity! IF YOU ARE SO OBSESSED WITH HONORING YOUR FATHER, PERHAPS YOU SHOULD SHARE HIS FATE!"
Before Sagat could finish him, flashbacks of his loss to Ryu plagued him. "NO! This is not me...I cannot be that man again. Dan, I'm sorry and I'm ashamed. I am no longer the man that took your father's life, but I will pay for what I did. Go on and take your revenge."
"You think that's what I want? That's not what my father would want. That's not what I want. All I want is something no one can give me. I want my father."
