"Now...it's time to introduce our next fight after that fantastic display!" Vi Per said as the lights shined down. "This man is an icon in the US and has practiced his skills against a number of opponents. He is the man with the Fire Breathing Fist! So welcome...Ken...Masters!" she called out as Ken entered the arena.

"Heh...don't be afraid to show what you got." Ken said as the crowd went wild.

"Good to see he's in high spirits as always." Stahn said.

"Hard not to imagine him like that." Jexi said.

"And now...his opponent!" Vi Per said. "From the Dimensional Heroes, this martial artist has come to play despite his little...condition. He is the Everything Goes Martial Artist. So welcome...Ranma...Saotome!" Vi Per called out as Ranma entered the arena.

"Okay...hope you're ready for a take down." Ranma said.

"And their fighting location is...Fourside!" Vi Per said as the two landed on a rooftop. "Let the battle...begin!"

"Okay...you're about to go down." Ken said going in with a punch as Ranma dodged to the side.

"Fire Punch!" Ranma said, landing a strike to Ken's stomach.

"Not bad, but I've got a better version." Ken said countering with a flaming uppercut. "Shinryuken!"

Ranma took the hit before spinning downward. "Drop Kick!" he said, landing a strike onto Ken's head.

"Seems Ranma is very quick to adapt." Aelita said. "No surprise given he's been training here ever since we owned this place."

Ranma and Ken continued to exchange blows with one another.

"Seems Ken is having trouble keeping up." Chun-Li said, watching with the other Street Fighters.

"That Ranma guy sure knows his stuff." Sakura K nodded.

"I think I've seen him before...yeah. He fought in that Furious Fist's tournament awhile back." Cammy said.

"But I wouldn't count out Ken just yet." Ryu said as Ken was starting to make a comeback against Ranma.

"Okay...take this! Ice Punch!" Ranma called out as he landed a blow on Ken's leg, freezing it solid.

"The heck?" Ken said.

"And...Thunder Punch!" Ranma said, sending Ken flying backward.

"Whoa...you're pretty tough for some guy who ends up a girl part of the time." Ken said. "Guess I'll have to go tougher."

"Bring it." Ranma said as Ken geared up with his ultimate technique.

"Gotcha! Shippu Jinraikyaku!" Ken called while unleashing a barrage of kicks before launching Ranma into the air with a rapid helicopter kick before he felt it stopped. "Huh?"

"I was...hoping this would be what you used to finish." Ranma said holding Ken's leg. "Here we go." Ranma said as he started spinning around while holding onto Ken's leg. "Anti-Shoryuken...Leg Toss!" he called out as he sent Ken flying out of the arena.

"Whoa...incredible! And the winner of this little bout is...Ranma!" Vi Per said as the audience cheered.

"Wow! Ranma was incredible out there!" Leanne said.

"Yeah, that was really something." Lei said.

"That technique was developed as a way to counter Ryu during many simulations against him. Ranma wanted to fight Ken as a sort of test of his abilities." Jexi said.

"Well then it worked perfectly." Bow said.

"Yeah...but I can always get stronger." Ranma said walking back. "Nothing can bring me down right now." he said as a glass of water fell right on him. "Except that." she sighed.

"Y'know, there are people who could remove that curse if you asked." SE said. "Heck, some of our own members could probably do it."

"Yeah...we can't." Aqua said.

"It's true. I've tried every curse lifter on this ship and they can't lift it. It's stuck for life." Ranma said.

"Basically the only cure is the reverse of being splashed with cold water." Spade said.

"Besides, I don't mind it anymore that much." Ranma said.

"Yeah, being a boy or a girl doesn't matter to Ranma. They'll continue to train to be the strongest, no matter what gender they are." Jexi said.

"Now...let's get back to what really matters...the fights." Ranma said, sitting back down.
