Sean looked in eerie wonder at the figure before him. It was a man with red hair, clothed in a dark, jagged-edged gi, and wearing a large-beaded necklace. Sean tensed up, half-ready to fight and addressed the stranger again.
"Answer me! Who are you?"
"Who I am is of no concern to you. However, I will tell you this much. I hold the key to releasing the true power of Shotokan."
Sean appeared intrigued at his words but was a little skeptic.
"Do you?"
"Yes...and that power can be yours young one. Imagine it, enough power to defeat any opponent. Opponents such as the warrior, Ryu. Why...you could even defeat your master Ken if you wish. You could fulfill your dream of being as great a fighter as your master...perhaps even better."
Sean's skepticism faded as he thought about being as powerful a warrior or even better than his master. But one thing still bothered him.
"Why are you willing to help me and what's in it for you if you do?"
The man turned his back to Sean and looked up as he spoke.
"You and I share a common obstacle...Ryu."
"Ryu?"
"Yes...Ryu has stopped me achieving my goals for quite sometime. Time and time again, Ryu has defeated me in my quest to be the greatest warrior in the world. I have trained for years to defeat him, but he always is one step ahead me of me. I am aware that Ryu has stood in your way as well."
"Yeah, Master Ken told me not to return to train with him until I defeat Ryu. But so far I've been...less than successful."
He turned back to face Sean.
"Well, I can help you."
Sean suddenly looked confused.
"But...why me?"
A dark grin appeared on the man's face.
"You have a great potential inside of you. However, this potential can only be fully realized if the true power of Shotokan is unleashed within a person. When it is, combined with your potential, you can finally defeat Ryu and make your master proud. As for what is in this for me, I merely wish to have a hand in Ryu's defeat. "
"So, you'll show me Shoto's true power and in return I just have to defeat Ryu?"
"Correct."
*This is my chance to finally get Ryu out of my hair and continue my training with Master Ken...if I'll still need it after this.*
"We have a deal, sir."
"Excellent."
The man puts out his hand and Sean shakes it. He then instructs Sean to stand perfectly still and be silent. He puts his left hand over Sean's heart and begins an incantation in ancient Japanese.
* Demons of hell, hear my voice! Release the darkness witihin this boy's soul! Unleash the true power of Shoto within in him! Fuel the darkness with his anger and enhance his strength! *
Though he could not understand the words, Sean could hear them as clear as if he was speaking the words. Suddenly the man raised a fist with his right hand and pounded into the ground. The instant it hit the ground, Sean felt a pulse of energy go through his body. Instantly, he felt...changed...stronger...more than he had ever been.
*You are now...Gou-Sean.*
