Different ways of life ----------------- Disclamer: I don't own streetfighters I'm a broke. ----------------- "_" speech '_' thoughts (_) my short speeches *** change of scene or time. ----------------- Summary: Imagine you're Ryu, what's your opinion about your life? Imagine you're Ken, maybe Chun Li, maybe even Dan, Sakura or anyone in this street fighter world. Let's just take it differently. A POV special general fic.
------------------ POV of Dan: Hi I'm Dan, Dan Hibiki, many of you have heard my name, I'm an important part of Capcom's Streetfighter. How?? I'm a comedian in this game. I love to make people laugh.I may play as a masochist but I'm not, people think I'm crazy. Let them think that, I don't mind. Everyone knows I'm a looser, I never won a match. But I believed I was destined to fight Sagat and win. Everyone thinks I don't have anything to do but do clumsy things. But....did they ever take it my way? Do they ever wanted to know why I'm like this? My mother died when I was born, my father was killed brutally before my very own eyes.I was then 7. I lived with my aunt, a distant relative in Hong Kong. She treated as her son. She was a widow. She didn't have money to take care of me. But she tried her best, ruining her own life. At the age of 12, I went to a well-known martial-artist to learn the fight. His name was Gouken. He was a good man, kind at heart.Teaching the better ways of life and fight by the technic of 'Shotokan'. I met two boys there, a Japanese another American. The Japanese one was Ryu, the other one was Ken. I bet everyone knows them. They were Master Gouken's best students and they lived with him and so did I. Ryu was great boy. Gentle, caring,polite. He always helped me when I needed help. He sometimes even got scolded for the mistakes I did, so did Ken. These guys did so much for me. Ryu even saved my life by defeating Sagat the first time I faught him. But that was later, first I'll tell you about my childhood. I never wanted anything from aunt, because I knew she couldn't afford it. But the last and the only thing I asked for was to let me go to Japan. She did, wasting her money that she saved for so many years. In a snap, it all finished. I feel ashamed of myself and I'll be thankfull to her forever. Let's head back to the dojo life. Ryu's not the only one who have hidden potential, Ken and I do too. But Ryu has way more power than us. He can destroy whole bunch of buildings in a single hadouken. One day,when I was 17, I was practicing with a dummy. I imagined it to be Sagat, after some practce I became fierce, I punched and kicked it fiercely. And after sometime I somehow launched a hadouken by using both the hands, and it ended half destroying the room. When Master Gouken came he saw the mess. He suspected Ryu to be the doer since he had that much potential. Master punished him by making him stand one-footed under the sun. After hours I couldn't stand it anymore. I admitted that I did it. Master brought back Ryu. But he just blamed him more saying that that's what happens when you take someone else's blame. Master was curious how did I do that, he asked me, I said what happened without telling anything about Sagat. But he smelled rage inside me. He mailed my aunt asking about me, and soon found out the air of revenge inside me. He threw me out of dojo. I was angry at him, but in the same time I knew he did that for the best. "Thanks Master, now I know what you meant". After that day, I promised to myself that I won't use my both hands ever. Using them together will cause mass destruction, harm to innocents. But after that I found out that using single hand is very weak and can throw a short-ranged projectile. But.....a promise is a promise. I never went back to my aunt, I knew that she couldn't afford to do anything after all those things she did for me. I kept mailing my aunt saying that Master Gouken took good care of me but in the reality I became a fisherman and in the same time I started my own martial arts technic, a modified version of 'Shotokan' called 'Saikyo-ryu' meaning the strongest technic. After the last battle with Sagat, after the victory I achived, I was so happy, I said to Sagat that I achieved my revenge and am not the only who now hurt his pride but......he proved me wrong, he stood up and said that it didn't hurt his pride, infact his pride was over after his battle with Ryu, he felt ashamed once, but now he is proud. He bowed to me and said that he is proud that he had a chance to fight, he...he said that it is an honour to fight me. I felt empty. That I lost the battle even though I won. But Ryu said few words to me, that...I may have lost but I have also won because I have made my father proud. sigh Ryu.......he has become just the way the master was. "Thanks Ryu for being such a good friends also thanks to you Ken" Do you know why I'm so clumsy. Because I want people to laugh, happily, unlike the way I spent my childhood. I'm happy that my father is always watching me, and Master Gouken is beside him. For the last time, I'll look at the sky seeking my father and my master.and I'll say "I LOVE YOU DAD AND THANK YOU SENSEI FOR WHAT YOU DID, I...NOW KNOW WHAT YOU MEANT AND I KNOW THE MEANING OF MY FIGHT." ------------------ "AND THANKS TO ALL THOSE READERS WHO READ THIS AND WASTED THEIR VALUABLE TIME ON ME" ------------------
