"The terror of Shin Akuma"

Silence………………….Ryu awoke to silence. Deep in a cold sweat the room seemed to spin. A sickening cry coming from his very soul. The images running vividly through his mind. Though he had not been there to see it he was now having visions of the death of his life long friend. Seeing Ken laughing with him growing up. The struggles they endured………….the pain the felt…………the anger of watching their master die……………….all this boiled in his brain until the image of Ken begging for his life through a blood soaked face caused Ryu to ignite. Throwing hado-kens as hard as he could muster, kicking the room to shreads. Screaming Akumas name to the top of his lungs. A startled Mai opened the door to find Ryu on bended knee. In his hand was a small picture of his lost friend. Quickly cradling him in her arms she rocked him back and forth. Ryu could do nothing, nor say nothing.

Soon he passed out into a dreamy daze. Colors of blues yellows reds greens and many more blazed brilliantly around him. The Colors all stopped and swirled into a deep mist. From that mist emerged his long dead trainer, Gouken. Ryu was awe stricken to say the least. Goukens voice was soft and mellow, as it had always been. "Ryu…………….Ryu……………listen to me………..Akuma is no longer the man he once was. At a time he was my brother………then he became Akuma as we knew him, but now………..now he is evil itself. In him is the darkness of a man a thousand fold. There is but one way to defeat him." Ryu trued to speak, but words would not come. "An ancient technique called the spirit hado. Akuma, and the world for that matter always belived that the style that we use could only come of evil. It was branched to evil, but as you know I developed a more less dangerous form. Akuma has one of the strongest attacks to ever be used in martial arts, known only as the raging demon. It is when he uses this that his dark chi is at its peak. But using yin and yang a good version of this can be used as well…………gathering the spirits of fallen warriors, this attack uses the powers of all warriors that have fallen in battle, and focuses them all to the evil. Only when Akuma uses the raging demon can this attack have its full effect. Ryu…………………..you have not only been a student to me……….but a son as well. Know that Ken is with me. We are doing fine, and will always be here for you." The colors began to swirl, distorting Goukens image. "The spirit hado can be found deep within the confines of our old home…………………….good bye………my son………." Ryus eyes shot open. The intense breathing returned to normal. A very intense, almost revived Ryu stood. A determined look on his face. The kunochi could only gaze at the man. Ryu slowly opened the door and stepped out. Walking down the road headed for one destination only. Soon walking turned to running. He was determined to make it to his old home. Mai was struggling, but keeping pace. She had no idea as to where he was going, but was going to find out.

Meanwhile teeth gritted as Kyo locked hands with Terry. Flashes of blue energy and blazing fire as the two struggled for the advantage. Jumping back the two faced off. "Burning pheniox!" Kyo screamed as he called forth his new attack. Bringing his arms to the air he formed a triangle with his hands. His eyes grew wide as a flame pheinox flew from his arms. Flying towards Terry. "Lightning thrust!!!" Terry called out as he lept to the air and gave innumerable swift kicks which shot out winds moving at such high speed they could hardly be seen. They easily tore threw the fire bird and nipped at Kyos body till Kyo collapsed to the ground. Coming over and offering a hand Terry stood over the young fighter.

"You did well." Terry spoke with a soft smile. Kyo nodded slowly. Though a disappointed expression was evident on his face. "Hey we're just training!" He patted Kyos back. "Now what do you say to something to eat? On me." He gave a wide smile. Kyo returned the smile and walked down to a food place with Terry. On the training grounds each warrior who was left alive was still deep in training. Ryo combating a hard to hit Dhalsim. The two warriors deeply engaged in combat. A slip in his yoga flame technique and Ryo had connected with his kyoken attack and down went the warrior. Meanwhile all fighters trained with intensity.

Papers, notebooks and books were all in clusters stacked to the ceiling as a bewilder Ryu looked through the final book on the shelve. He had been searching through whatever he could find. Mai sat on the arm of a chair staring at him. This man had her completely baffled. She had been trying, since the first day she met him, to understand him. As anyone in Japan, she had heard the stories of the legendary Ryu. Unlike practically every fighter she had ever known, this man had no reason to fight, other then the love of the fight itself. Something she found so interesting she wanted to know all about him. Though learning anything from him was near impossible. Ryu slowly pulled the final book from the shelf and a soft click was heard. A low rumbling began to and the bookcase turned around. On the side that was now visible a small lantern was placed. A beam of light shown through the room blinding Mai and Ryu. When Mais vision returned Ryu was gone……………
