The Fateful Meeting of Blood
"Hmm, according to the report the deadly man known as Akuma was last sighted here in the mountain area." A woman said with a Russian accent.
The woman has long blonde hair under a black ushanka hat with a four-pointed star decoration at the center, and blue eyes. She wears This complements her black Afghanka-style military jacket, which ends in a miniskirt. Thigh high black stockings and fur boots replace the stiletto heels of her secretary outfit. She also wears a dark grey wetsuit with bare legs, over which she wears a grey thermal short vest and various accessories including a gun strapped in a holster across her thigh. Her hair is tied in a ponytail and she wears black tactical goggles with red lenses pushed up on her head. Breasts sizes: E-cup.
"He was heading in this direction, I wonder what he could doing here?" The woman asked herself, walking up the path.
"Lady Kolin!" A soldier called out running to her in the opposite direction.
"What did you find, scout?" Kolin asked.
"Me and my team found a destroyed area that appears to be some kind of building, a temple." The Scout reported with a salute.
"Show me." Kolin ordered.
The Scout lead Kolin to the temple that's about a few miles from here as they walk through the forest. Soon, they arrived at the destroyed temple the Scout reported seeing most of the place has been still standing while the rest was crumbled down to the ground as Kolin looks around knowing some small smoke rising and burn marks meaning that this has happened recently.
"Was there anyone here?" Kolin asked, noticing some burned books and broken tea pots on the ground.
"We believed there was one or two persons here though we can't really tell with the state this place is, but we do know that someone has been living here for a long time perhaps." The Scout answered.
"I see." Kolin said.
From what she knows about Akuma from the reports and words from other fighters, he must have come here knowing that the person who lived here was a fighter too. No doubt the fighter struggled to stop Akuma and died by the monstrous-man's hands just like all the others who faced him and never live to tell the tale.
"Lady Kolin, I think I found something." A soldier reported from the front gate.
"What is it?" Kolin asked.
"I think it's a grave outside from here, it was the Japanese symbol "Father" on it." The soldier answered.
Kolin walk to where the soldier is and saw the grave he spoke of, she can tell by looking at the ground seeing that this spot was dug up and perhaps buried the body of the man no too long ago meaning there was someone here besides this man in the grave.
"So, there were two people living here. Find out what can about the man in the grave and the other one who lived here, no doubt he left with his home destroyed he'll be on a journey to find a new home." Kolin ordered the two.
"Yes, Ma'am!" The two followers said at the same time and leave.
Kolin stayed behind for a bit to pay her respect to the dead man, praying that his soul would have a safe trip to Heaven and watch over the one who used live with him., she picked up a nearby flower and place it in front of the tombstone and clap her hands together for a moment of silent until she spoke again.
"Another life taken away by this cruel world of ours, always bloodshed from fighting for no reason, especially those like Bison and Akuma. They will pay, and the world will be become that of peace by the hands of my Master Gil." Kolin said with a death-glare and cold air surrounds her.
(With Raoh)
"Alright, now where to go?" Raoh asked himself, looking at a map of Japan wondering where to go for training.
Raoh is standing near a food stand while eating some cutout meats on a stick, he was lucky that his Master have been keeping some savings in the temple and got his son a bank account otherwise he would've gone to stealing if it's comes down to that. Raoh is having a hard time deciding on where he should go to continue his training and wonder about here to find strong fighters to fight, he doesn't have a car or a bike but that not's gonna stop him from going anywhere.
"This will be my first time going outside the temple, I always wanted to see the world, but not what I had in mind." Raoh sighed as he chews on his meat.
He remembered the time when he was little that he asked his Master if they could travel the world together, seeing all the great sights of different places and learning their culture, his adopted father thinks it would be a good idea to get out of the temple once in a while. However, his father is gone and now he's on his own to survive in this world, hopefully it all goes well.
"Master, I promise I will avenge you and slain Akuma with my own two hands!" Raoh declared crushing the stick in his hands and his aura glows slightly.
"I see, so that's why my crystal ball tells me that your path will be fill with blood." A girl voice said suddenly right next to him.
Raoh acted on instinct dropping the two broken pieces of the stick and threw his arm striking with his backhand but felt that his hand didn't hit anything except air.
"Whoa! Easy there, big guy, I didn't mean to sneak up on you like that!" The girl apologized revealing herself dropping from the air she just jumped.
She is a slim young woman, seem to be the same age as Raoh, with dark skin and green eyes. She has short dark purple hair styled into a bob with blunt bangs covering her entire forehead. She wears soft purple lipstick and eye shadow. Her outfits are in Egyptian motif; she wears a dark purple short sleeved leotard with gold and neon blue accents and a purple sash in both of her shoulders. Her waist resembles a side belt, a blue and gold necklace and a gold tiara on her head. On her feet are a pair of thigh high stockings, with the heels and toes cut out. She is also holding a crystal ball in her hands. Breasts sizes: D-cup.
"You must have good instinct to attack someone without even looking." The purple-haired girl complimented.
"Training in the assassination martial art style can do that to you." Raoh said pulling back his fist, seeing that this girl doesn't seem dangerous.
"Oh, so your style is an assassination art like Ryu's." The girl mentioned Ryu's name to Raoh.
"Do you know of Ryu?" Raoh asked.
"I seen him fight a few times on my crystal ball and heard stories of him from my master, she says that Ryu is a wondering warrior without a home always traveling the world seeking a good fight to push himself." The girl rephrased the words her master told her.
"Hmm, your master speaks such wise things about him. By the way, I'm Raoh." Raoh introduced himself to the new girl.
"Nice to meet you, I'm Menat." Menat greeted bowing a little.
"So, do you always sneak up on people like that or do you just like to scare them?" Raoh asked, joking a little.
"Hey, I have you know I take my job as fortune-telling very serious!" Menat resented, punting.
Seeing as Raoh finished eating his lunch and already broke the stick, he decided to go walking with Menat accompany him to continuing getting to know each other going through some streets.
"So, you said that you're a fortune-teller, right?" Raoh asked.
"Yes, for as long as I can remember I've always been into fortune-telling starting with straws and tarot cards, and when I found my crystal ball everything in my life was changed. It was my destiny to seek this ball, so I can predict one's future though I still have a long way to go." Menat explained with a smile.
"I see, and this Master you spoke of is a fortune-teller too?" Raoh asked again.
"Yep, she's really amazing not only in her fortune-telling skills and great wisdom, but she can also handle herself in a fight with strong fighters too!" Menat praised about her master.
"Really, that makes you a… fighting fortune-teller too, impressive." Raoh commented.
"Thanks, I'm pretty a good fighter myself." Menat bragged holding her crystal ball with pride in one hand and her other hand on her hip.
"I do can sense some strong Ki in you, maybe we can have a fight to see what you're capable of." Raoh suggested, wanting to see how other fighters are like in different countries.
"Sure, I would like to spare with you anytime." Menat agreed.
Raoh felt a good connection between him and Menat like a new bond of friendship has been made since he left the temple only two days on the road, it's nice to meet someone friendly and unique like Menat along the way. Then he remembers some she said about earlier.
"Hey, you mentioned something about my future will be fill with blood, is that correct?" Raoh asked, as deep down he knows that it involves his martial art style Hokuto Shinken being a powerful and dangerous art.
"Oh yes, I almost forgot about the reason why I came to you!" Menat just remembered her errand.
But before Menat could speak any further, they suddenly heard gunshot from nearby and coming out of a corner a sweating man wearing a police uniform panting while holding on one side with his hand and bloodstain on the spot. He collapses on the ground as Raoh and Menat quickly went to his side.
"Sir, are you okay?" Raoh asked, quickly checking how bad the wound is and shock to see it's a gun wound through the stomach probably from the gunshot earlier.
"Please… help…" The policeman said before succumbing to the wound.
Raoh gasps that he had another man died in his hand like what happened to his master, feeling like the legend his master told him that where he goes death will always follows but knew it was done by another. He closes the corpse's eyes and lay his head on the ground standing back up and walk to the corner with rage in his eyes.
"Raoh…" Menat worried follows him knowing that this is what her crystal was trying to tell her.
Raoh sees the scene; some thugs dress in odd clothing like it's the apocalypse with guns and knives in their hands as some of the policemen are having trouble dealing with them, especially their leader being like a giant looking to be 7'25 with a blonde Mohawk and a Z mark on his head. He appears to be holding a little girl in both his large hands with one on her head with the thugs carrying some bags of money from the bank.
"Alright you damn coppers, nobody moves, or else the girl's head will be ripped off from her body!" The large man threatened.
"You big bully, wait until my mom gets here!" The girl grunted, but the man ignores her.
"Damn that Hugo, that guy must've cheated at our match because I'm bigger and stronger than him and yet I lost to that pipsqueak! If I can't make a living through the ring, then I'll simply take what I want!" The large man grinned.
"Yeah, you tell them, Boss Zeed!" A thug cheered.
Raoh glares at the man the thugs called him Zed, this man is stealing and willing to kill innocent lives just because he lost one match against someone. What a sore loser.
"Pathetic." Raoh said walking towards the boss.
Some of the policemen who are injured from the thugs saw Raoh entering the crime scene tries to tell him stop and turn away, but the young martial artist continues his march as Menat just stand there and watch.
"Huh, you said something pal?" Thug 3 asked.
"You have all that strength and you're doing this because of a lost from a fight. Very pathetic indeed." Raoh said to Zeed who glares at him.
"You little shrimp, you dare to mock me? Boys, kill this mother fucker!" Zeed ordered.
"With pleasure!" Thug 8 chuckled before running to Raoh swinging his axe for the neck.
However, what he didn't count on was Raoh catching the axe with two fingers holding it in place as the thug tries to pull it back but couldn't move it an inch. Then Raoh pulls the axe with the thug and backhand punch the guy in the face sending him stumbling back a few feet, the thug was angry for a lucky punch but suddenly felt his head expanding like a balloon then pops with blood gushing out leaving the body headless.
(Music-You Wa Shock: Fist of the North Star OST)
"Wha… what the hell did this guy do?" Thug 13 asked freaking out.
"Damn it! You're gonna pay for that!" Thug 10 shouted as he charges at Raoh with all the other thugs following his lead.
However, this does not make Raoh frighten one bit despite the numbers against him as he suddenly appears right behind the group moving faster than the eyes can see and the thugs are sent flying to walls and in the air as they all exploded like the last guy. Raoh struck their Pressure Points while moving super faster.
What the hell…?" Zeed confused and scared as the girl watches all this.
Soon, Raoh stand right in front of the giant villain looking up and cracking his knuckles.
"Zeed, put the girl down." Raoh demanded.
"Why don't you try and make me, little man." Zeed mocked. Thinking he may have beaten his men, but there's no way he can beat him with his sizes and strength.
"(I see, this is the fate that has been given to him since birth and why my master said that I am destined to follow him.)" Menat thought, seeing the blood and dead bodies with Raoh being at the center.
Raoh yells as his red aura burst and his shirt ripped off revealing his chest baring seven scars in the shape of the Big Dipper. He rises his fist above him and slams it down at Zeed's stomach making him grunt in pain.
"ATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATA" Raoh unleashed a barrage of rapid-fire punches while slowly rising Zeed off his feet and finishes him off with a strong kick knocking Zeed down and dropping the girl as Raoh catches her in his arms.
"Hokuto Raretsu Ken (Hokuto Fist of Destruction)"
"You okay?" Raoh asked the little red-haired girl.
"Huh, yes, I'm okay." The girl answered.
Zeed groans and realizes that those punches Raoh hit him felt nothing more than a bug bit.
"You little shit, do you think your tiny fists can hurt me?" Zeed asked in anger getting back up.
"You're already dead." Raoh said before walking away.
Zeed was confused of what the boy just said then felt his body starting acing in pain and expanding until he blew up with blood squirting out and staining the ground.
(Music End)
"The one who bares seven scars in the form of the Big Dipper on his chest, will the Survivor of the world when the time comes." Menat repeated the words her Master once told her as her crystal ball glows showing Raoh with his seven scars glowing in red.
