Disclaimer's note: I do not own any of these characters, Capcom does. They probably wonder who in their right mind would make a fic about Dan.
Dan: I would.
Wizard: In a fanfic?
Dan: Truly.
The tiled ring that Sagat and Go were fighting at was wide, to make sure that ring-outs were as much of a challenge as knocking out your opponent. Not so wide, that ring-out victories did not happed occasionally. Seats were as high as a high-school football arena, and surrounding the ring was mud with a few patches of grass.
"Alright gentlemen, I want a clean fight from both of you. Is everyone prepared?" the referee asked. Both men nodded their heads.
"Ready…FIGHT!" he said, waving his arms down.
The fight had officially begun. Sagat took control of the match, by offering a roundhouse kick to Go's right shin and right cheek. The crowd cheered, and Dan booed.
"That was excellent, you caught me off guard at a good time," Go said, getting up from off his knee. He took his fighting stance again.
Go then attempted to retaliate with a spinning low kick, but Sagat, storing in ki, jumped up in time. He countered with a low Tiger Shot, with Go being temporarily stunned. Out of quickness, Sagat then struck with a Tiger Knee. The crowd went wild, and Go was knocked out.
The referee began counting, "1…2…3…4…5…"
"C'mon, Dad, wake up!" Dan yelled.
"6…7…"
At the count of seven, Go stood up. Sagat chuckled, "You haven't had enough, yet?"
Go shook his head, and ran to Sagat. Sagat waited, and when Go was at a good distance, he released a sidekick. With that blow, Go flew to the other side of the ring. He barely hit the muddy ground.
The referee counted, "1…2…3…4…5…"
Go jumped up after realizing he was near the edge of the ring. Sagat chuckled again.
"You almost fell out of the ring. You almost lost the match, declaring me the winner."
"You're tough, but damn it, I will beat you…and I will have the satisfaction of knowing that I did that," Go said, breathing heavily.
Sagat went back to his fighting stance and asked, "So, are we going to end this or what?"
Go went to his fighting stance and answered, "Let's do it."
Go ran up to Sagat, who had not expected it, and began a flurry of punches. Sagat was able to block all of them, and countered with a hook punch that landed on Go's nose. Go paused for a moment to check his nose, giving Sagat the perfect opportunity to land his Tiger Uppercut. Go was able to get up, but his nose was bleeding hard.
When he noticed this, he said, "You made me bleed. No other fighter has made me bleed. I truly honor your ability."
Sagat chuckled, "I don't need your pathetic tactics."
Sagat landed a sweep kick, immediately, and Go landed hard on his back. Sagat went up and landed a hard stomp on Go, to make sure he stayed down.
"NO!" Dan yelled. Sagat chuckled.
"1…2…3…4…5…6…7…8…9…"
At 9, somehow, Go miraculously got up, but he was knocked down with a hard body blow by Sagat. The referee started the count, but Sagat picked up Go and showed him to the crowd.
"This is what happens, when fools decide to face me! They get the same punishment, like this jackass!" he yelled. Then, using all his power, Go poked Sagat hard in the eye.
Sagat yelled, and tried to use his eye. Seeing how it did not work, Sagat went to Go, who was staggering due to the immense power put in the eye gouge. Dan watched in horror as Sagat began using his Tiger Genocide attack, half-blind. Sagat hit two Tiger Knees ending with two Tiger Blows, immensely hurting Go.
When both men landed on the floor (Go landing on his back), the referee counted.
"1…2…3…4…5…6…7…8…9…10! The winner by knockout, Sagat!"
The crowd cheered as loudly as they possibly could, Dan was crying at his dad's loss, and Sagat raised his hands in victory. Dan ran to Go, whom medical doctors were treating. Dan tried to get to his dad, but they pushed him aside.
"Sorry, kid. Nobody's allowed to get to him once we're done," one of the trainers said.
"But that's my dad!" Dan yelled.
"Sorry, kid. I'd help you out, but…rules are rules. You'll understand when you're older," the medical trainer told him with deep pity.
"It's not good; he's got some serious injuries. We have to bring him in," the other trainer told the first.
"Bring him in, where!"
"Kid, I don't wanna be the one to tell you this, but…your dad has been badly hurt during the fight. He might not live, unless we take him to the hospital."
"Where the sick people go?"
"Yep."
As much as Dan did not want these strange men to take his father away, he had no choice. They loaded Go into the ambulance and Dan started to cry.
Three months later, Go Hibiki died from incurable injuries.
Wizard: There's Chapter 2. Read and review.
Dan (crying): There's a lot to be said about this chapter.
Wizard: The people had to know, to keep the story going.
Dan: You're probably right.
