Chapter One : The Promise
"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 flowly 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."
As Ryu cradled the lifeless form of his mentor and adopted father to his chest, he felt an immense rage begin to rise from seep within the depths of his soul. The moment the rage seemed to reach its peak, every nerve in his body was suddenly wracked with pain. As his body began to twitch uncontrollably, Ryu's arms released Gouken's body and it fell silently to the floor.
Ryu collapsed, as his body took on a life of its own. His body temperature switched constantly. Alternating from hot to cold, burning heat to freezing cold. His body feeling as if it were combusting from without. He began to writhe and convulse on the ground. Ryu opened his mouth to scream in pain, but no sound came from his throat.
The pain the boy felt had reached a pinnacle and he felt as if he were to die at that moment then there would be peace. He felt as if he were a tea kettle boiling over and now everything had begun to spill over the sides. Suddenly as quickly as it had come the pain left his body and the boy lay next to his father's body panting and covered in sweat. He closed his eyes as he fell into unconsciousness. His headband had fallen onto the ground next to him and the lightning bolt shaped scar above his right eye glowed bright red.
On the other side of the world at that exact moment inside of Albus Dumbledore's office at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, a series of instruments that had been dormant for nearly sixteen years began to react with loud bangs and chirps. Albus Dumbledore the Headmaster in question whose office held these imstruments was currrently in the Great Hall supervising the Sorting Feast when the caretaker Argus Filch burst into the Hall in a hurried manner as he limped toward the Head Table.
"Professor come quickly there be a strange goings on in your office." Albus nodded and motioned for Minerva Mcgonagall to continue with the Sorting. "Professor, I shant be a moment do continue." With that he rose and quickly followed Filch as he led the way out of the Hall. As they exited the doors, whispers began to breakout across the dining area.
Ron Weasley turned to his best friend as of late Seamus Finnigan. "What do you suppose all that what about." Seamus shrugged. "I dunno maybe Dumbledore's finally gone barmy." Hermione Granger raised an eyebrow. "Don't you think it's rude to snoop in the Headmaster's business?" She asked. "But out Granger, keep your nose in your smelly old bnook and I'll stick mine where I please." Hermione's face reddened, "Ronald Weasley you...you.. Urrrrghhh!" The entire Gryffindor Table broke out in laughter as Hermoine and Ron continued to bicker between themselves.
Meanwhile Albus had entered his office to find it in an uproar. All around the room various metallic objects whirred and whistled as lights flashed and banged. "Interesting." He whispered to himself as he silently observed the chaos the had delevoped him his office. "Most intersesting
indeed. Argus summon the Professors immediately." Filch nodded before leaving the Headmaster to comtemplate the meaning if this new developement.
It had been nearly three months since Ryu had laid Gouken to rest at Suzaku Castle, and he now found himself wandering the streets of London. For all of his martial skill there was little he could do to travel through this strange city without going unnoticed. From pure white gi and new red headband that he recieved from Ken, to his bare feet and the invisble aurora of ki that surrounded and leaked off of his body in torrents seemed to cause those around him to give him a wide berth.
Ryu had been walking for a few blocks when he noticed that a group of people were following him. He knew because he could feel their ki and their signatures had been trailing him for nearly half an hour. Ryu turned into a dark alley and prepared for the oncoming fight.
Serverus Snape turned to the Order of the Pheonix members with him. "Professor Dumbledore wishes that we bring the boy in for questioning." He shot a glance at a young witch with bubblegum pink hair standing next to a man in very ragged robes and a man with very dark hair and a childlike appeal. "Is that understood, Nyphradora, Werewolf and Mutt?" His vioce filled with as much venom as his sneer.
Tonks made a move to draw her wand, but her hand was staid by Remus Lupin's grip. "He's not worth it we're here for Harry remember that." Lupin turned to Sirius Black. "Sirius, listen he doesn't know who or what we are so please don't startle him. Everyone let's move out." He pointed towards Ryu who had just turned into a nearby alley. "Let's try to do this without any problems."
The Order members drew their wands and made their way to retreive the boy they believed to be Harry Potter. When they entered the alley what they found was as far away from any version Harry Potter they had envisioned.
The first to fall to Ryu's surprise attack was Snape. After seemingly falling from the sky and appearing from nowhere , Ryu quickly dispatched the Order members in quick sucession until the only one left standing was Tonks.(Ryu's not going to just attack a girl unless she poses an immediate threat... ) He stepped in front of and crouched into a defensive fighting stance. He spoke in a clear voice. "I will not harm you if you leave now. I do not care to be attacked from behind. Tell your leader that I am not one to be robbed easily." With that he turned and began to walk out of the alley.
Ryu froze at the last second when he heard a voice cry, "Stupefy!" He whirled around to block the attack, but widened his eyes in shock as a red beam of light hit him in his chest. Then everything went black.
When Ryu opened his eyes, the first thing he saw was his father Gouken laughing loudly with Ouju-San, 'Little Miss', at a struggling Ken. Ryu smiled and ran toward Gouken with his arms open wide. "Father...Father...Father..." Gouken looked up at Ryu and his smile turned into a look of rage. "Ryu... No...Go...Back...Go...Back..." Gouken rushed past Ken and 'Little Miss' to leap at Ryu. The boy shrank back at fear until Gouken flipped over him and struck at a man in a dark blue gi. "Akuma!" Gouken and the man began to battle. The man Akuma smirks as he tells Gouken that it is time for their battle.
The men trade blows and Ryu tries to rush in to defend his father. Gouken holds up his hand and shakes his head. "Brother, you do realise that what you teach is an abomination against the true teachings of Anastuken, the boy is strong but until he can embrace the Satsui no Hadou. He will be as weak as you. Did you know that I challeged Goutetsu? As you can see I won the battle." Akuma places his hand over the prayer beads on his neck. "I put him to the test and he failed now he is where you will be."
Akuma lunged at Gouken and within a matter of three seconds and even less moves, Akuma was on the ground with Gouken standing over him with a ball of ball in his hand. "Finish me, now Brother. You have bested me in battle my life is yours to claim as is our custom." Gouken shook his head and smiled over at Ryu. "I will not slay you. It may be your way. But it is not mine." Gouken turned and began to walk away. Akuma roared and lauched a Hadouken at Gouken's back. Gouken block the attack and contiued walking.
"You're weak Brother. Mercy is your weakness." Akuma snarled as he stalked away, Ryu's eyes never leaving his. Akuma's face twisted in rage as he spoke the words that sent chills through Ryu's very soul. "Mark my words Brother you...Will regret not killing...me...I...will...have...my...Revenge!"
