Ryu my adopted son, you alone are my greatest pupil.
At the base of a waterfall behind the Gouken Anasatsuken Dojo, deep within a lush bamboo forest, a young man stands tall under the pressure of the torrents of rushing water. His face is a mask of serenity as if he were in deep mediation inside the warm dojo, instead of performing katas as the icy waters of the waterfall cascade around him, and the churning river water swirls around his bare feet.
As he continues his early morning training session, Ryu's thoughts begin to drift to his mysterious past and his uncertain future, as he ponders his quest to become the world's greatest warrior. He continues to contemplate his destiny as he ends his kata with a Shoryuken.
Ryu my son since adopting you all those many years ago. Within the walls of my dojo I have watched you grow from a boy to a man...
Ryu age 5, struggling to keep up with his sparring partner and best friend Ken. Ken seems to excel at their training. Surpassing Ryu who despite being the older and earliest of their master's pupils cannot seem to grasp the techniques that they must employ...
"Ryu! Ken! Proceed!" Ryu launched himself at Ken attempting to deliver a spinning heel kick to him sparring partner. Ken ducked under his attack avoiding the blow and back-flipped into high kick connecting with Ryu's chin. Ryu fell backwards landing head first on the hard mat...
From an awkward novice to my greatest student, a true master...
Ryu age 8, Ryu and Ken spar repeatedly, each trading blow for blow. Finally, Ryu gains the upper-hand in the match. Delivering a leg sweep to Ken lifting him from his feet. Ryu stands over Ken and extends his hand to Ken offering him a hand up from the mat...
Ryu a wry smile appeared on Ryu's face as he gazed down at his friend. "Well?" he asked impatiently. Ken shot him an indignant look. "Well what?" Ryu offered his hand again. "Let me help you up." Ken pushed his hand away and flipped to his feet. "I won't tell you again. I'm never going to need or ask you for help, Ryu get it through your thick skull." Ryu glanced over at their master, seeking advice. Their master only nodded. "Again! Now! Fight!" Ryu and Ken took their positions and bowed before crouching back into their fighting stances...
I have witnessed you master every form and technique I have taught you as if you were their original creator.
Ryu age 10, Ryu masters his control of his Hadou no Chikara, gaining the ability to generate his ki into a powerful Hadoken...
The ensuing blast knocked Ken into a nearby wall. Ken lay still and Ryu ran to his friend concerned for his safety. "Ken are you alright? Ken! Ken! Are you alr-" Ryu's frantic cries were cut short by a hard left to his jaw. Ken slowly rose. "What's the big idea watch were the heck you're aiming that thing." Ryu gave his friend a sheepish look before shrugging...
I have seen you find what so many seek but fail to achieve...
The delicate balance between Grace, Speed...
Ryu rises upwards into the waterfall, slicing through the unrelenting volley of water as it were nothing but air. His body surrounded by his flaring ki as he executes the powerful Shoryuken. His body rises and spins with flawless grace, immense speed...and unmatched strength. Ryu burst through the top of the waterfall. He lands nimbly upon the ground as a shower of water droplets sparkle in the light of the morning dawn.
And Power.
Ryu rose slowly to his feet and walked to the edge of the stream. He made his way to the old batsu tree that he used for meditation. As he knelt there clearing his mind he began to channel his ki. As Ryu began his daily meditation he began to ponder his quest to become a true warrior. A vision takes over his mind, as he considers the darkness and potential for evil that exists within him, the forest around him seems to fall silent and still. He realizes that his search to become the most powerful martial artist...his search for absolute perfection...is a delicate path that could lead to either salvation or self-destruction...
Ryu my son, you are truly my greatest pupil. I am a novice compared to you. You have surpassed me in every way possible...
The forest began to darken around the oblivious Ryu as he continued his meditation. The forest began to silence almost immediately as if its creature inhabitants could feel the change in the ki around the boy. Ryu shivered slightly as he felt a deep chill that seemed to foretell a dark future soon to be revealed.
Ryu you have strived for perfection since the very beginning. You are everything I could have even thought to hope for and my greatest achievement...
Ryu felt a dark presence nearby and opened his eyes. The forest had gone dark around him. 'What's going on here? How long have I been meditating? Master Gouken always says that I sometimes space out but this is ridiculous.' His thoughts were suddenly interrupted as he felt an immensely evil presence nearby. CRACK! Ryu stood sharply as he heard the sound of a twig breaking. "Who's there? Where are you? Who's out there? Answer me!"
Or my greatest fear. For now my pupil you stand at the brink of becoming everything I hoped you would... Or possibly everything I feared. You have come far in since you first began your journey, driven by the same desire for perfection that I once saw in another many years ago... For there was another who like you who vowed for perfection himself. He too, completely dedicated himself to the mastering of our arts fully devoting himself to the true lethality of Anasatsuken. His training had taken him to a crossroads...To pursue greatness with honor and purity of heart, or to allow his desire for victory to become a murderous need. Alas he chose to forsake his soul and succumbed to the darkness within as he traveled down the path of evil. All for his lust for power...
Ryu gazed left and right searching for the source of the sound. He didn't notice in all his frantic searching the figure shrouded in darkness appeared behind the tree line. The figure lifted its shadow covered face and called to him. "Ryu. Come to me." Ryu whirled around to face the figure and backed away in shock.
And soon Ryu you will also have to stand at this crossroad and make this decision later in your life and. I know this for certain you will have to face the temptation of the darkness by facing the greatest opponent you will ever have to face...
The figure stepped into the light his bright green eyes glowing with power. A twisted smirk on his dark face as he approached Ryu. Ryu backed away in fear of the figure in front of him. The figure's face seemed to twist into a visage of pure evil as it spoke. It's voice and words chilling Ryu to the very core of his soul. "What's the mater Ryu? Are you afraid of me? Why would you be afraid of...?"
Yourself.
The figure stepped fully into the light and Ryu nearly fainted. Before him stood himself, but it wasn't him was it? Ryu couldn't help but believe that this apparition before him was indeed himself. They were practically identical except for the fact that the figure had an incredibly evil aura and its skinned was deeply tanned almost to the post that it blended into the shadows.
"You are not me..." Ryu said quietly. "You can't be..."
There is a side of you that you must confront, as, must all of us who choose to devote our lives to the pursuit of ours arts. You must face the part of you that ruthlessly craves victory no matter what the cost. When the cost of victory may be too high... Even when the price of victory could mean the taking of a human life.
The figure continued his approach until he was nearly face to face with Ryu. The figure smirked and lashed out at Ryu. Ryu sensing the attack ducked and countered with a leg sweep. The figure leapt upwards flipped over his head. It then landed spun on its heel and delivered a Joudan-Sokutou-Geri knocking Ryu into the air.
As is the fashion of those who choose the way of the warrior must eventually do one thing...
As Ryu began to fall toward the ground the figure strafed toward him and jumped in to a Tatsukmaki-Senpuu-Kyaku before landing an uppercut to Ryu's chin. Ryu's body landed hard on the ground. He wheezed slightly as the figure stood over his fallen form basking in his defeat. He growled and lifted his body into the air with a Shoryuken. The figure clawed the ground to slow his slide. He and Ryu faced off each preparing to launch an attack...
We must face ourselves...
Ryu launched his Hadoken a split second before the figure. And they met in the middle. His ki a bright electric blue, his opponents a dark violet. Each attack struggling to over come the other. In a life or death struggle. Each seemingly even matched but slowly Ryu could sense his ki failing as he began to succumb to his evil counterpart.
And fight.
You must fight...
Ryu's knees began to buckle under the pressure of the combined Hadokens, he was slowly aware of the darker overcoming his own...
And...
In a last ditch effort Ryu launch all of his remaining ki into his attack praying that it would be enough to defeat his enemy...
Decide...
Nevertheless it was in vain as the dark ki flared and completely overcame and redirected his attack back onto him...
Who...
Ryu slammed into a few trees crashing through them until he came to rest against the tree he began his meditation at...
You...
The figure slowly stalked Ryu and he began to channel the very last ounces of ki he had into his hands...
Truly...
When the figure reached Ryu's prone form, he bent down and lifted Ryu from the ground and stared deeply into his eyes...
Are.
Ryu raised his hands to the doppelgangers face and unleashed a small ball of ki into his face.
Ryu you must find your true self. The warrior that you are meant to be...
The figure reeled releasing Ryu from its grasp, with a loud cry of pain...
"I truly hope my dearest Ryu that you will fulfill your limitless potential, not by succumbing to your power, but by mastering it. No matter what happens next...know only this... I am truly proud to call you my son..."
"Ryu!"
Ryu's eyes snapped open as he heard his name. "Father?" Ryu leapt to his feet and ran in the direction of the dojo. "Father? Father!" As he neared the source of the scream his heart began to pound. Thoughts of fear and anxiety filled his head as he reached the door of Gouken's home. The doors burst open as he rushes through them and immediately he skids to a stop. "No..." His voice strained as if on the verge of tears. "Father...no...Father..."
There lying on the main floor of the dojo sparring ground is the lifeless body of Gouken. And above his body in a sense of cruel mockery on the wall is the Japanese character for Heaven 'Ten"scrawled in his blood.
Ryu fell to his knees and cradled his father's body to his chest. His tears flowing freely as he wept for the only family he had. "Master Gouken...Father!" His howls of pain becoming more and more unbearable as his sorrow took hold.
"I will avenge you, father. I swear it."
Okay so how do you like it so far in case you weren't aware Ryu is Harry. He's about fifteen/sixteen years old at this point I'm not sure. He's just returned from the first world warrior tournament and was continuing his training at Suzaku Castle at Gouken's Dojo. The next chapter will be his travel to find Ken and Gouken's murderer but alas he won't make it as he will be located by Order of the Phoenix while crossing England. And ushered off to Hogwarts as Ryu will slowly begin to adapt to the wizarding life and the threat of Voldemort as his quest to become the greatest martial artist seems to be put on hold.
