When he decided to come here, he didn't expect much, but when paying closer attention when he arrived something caught his attention. From one side of the corner, there was a man, he was tall and muscular, his arms were like logs, ready to deliver intense blows, his neck thick like slabs of steel as a warning that it could take any blow, fists big as boulders, a testament of intense training and strength.
His attire consisted of a white tattered karate Gi with the sleeves torn off, his black hair medium in length. A red headband adorned its forehead and a black martial artist belt, he seemed to be on his bare feet for some reason, his hands were covered with red fighting gloves. Yamcha wasn't the sharpest of fighters when it was about reading someone's more complex inner fighting mechanisms in their heads. But even a carefree fellow like him could notice, that man was strong and it exhaled an air that made him not underestimate him.
"Well hello there, who might you be?" He asked the man who wore a white Gi.
"Greetings, my name is Ryu. And someone told me that you could use a sparring partner, mind training with me?" The warrior said.
"Is that so? Well this fine by me then, it seems fighting you will be really fun, but don't underestimate me" Yamcha smiled.
"Hmm...that we will see, in the heat of battle"
Both fighters are reading themselves in a fighting position, staring at each other with intensity, just waiting for which one was going to throw the first move. After the first droplet of sweat hit the floor, the first one to move was Yamcha who went with a dash, both their fists collided in the same move, which was a simple jab to first test their adversary strength.
'Not bad' The turtle school student thought.
When backing away, the former bandit quickly did a kick aiming at Ryu's head, but with quick reflexes, the man blocked it with ease and the only thing Yamcha hits is his red glove. Both warriors could feel how strong each one of them was from the weight and power from the blows, even if one attacked first and the other just defended, for now, it was just the surface of the battle.
The scar-faced dude smiled at this, before Ryu could wonder the nature of that, he was attacked by Yamcha who suddenly went into a handstand and started performing a series of rapid kicks. He expected to get a few hits by doing that, but Ryu was not one to be taken off guard that easily, using Mind's eye he parries each one of Yamcha kicks away with precision. The man was surprised to see the solid stance and calm demeanor of Ryu, sure he was still holding back and rather enjoying the fight with him instead of going all out, it also served to assess the capabilities of his opponent. But that guy was still keeping up with him, definitely not your average human.
"How about this!?"
Changing position and attack in the blink of an eye, Yamcha gives off a roundhouse kick at full speed, but the Ansatsuken user protected his head in a brick wall defense as both thick forearms took the attack, feeling the impact from the blow that had way more power this time vibrating, things were slowly kicking up a notch.
"HMHP!"
Taking what little time Ryu had before Yamcha could retrieve his leg back, the man did a move already done so many times like the other ones, it was like the body reacted before the brain could. Some sort of blue energy is channeled on his free palm and then! He strikes Yamcha right in the stomach, unleashing some sort of flow to counter him.
"Hashogeki! (Wave Palm Attack)" Ryu shouted with determination.
The invisible force Yamcha felt for a moment, pushed him away like a mighty battering ram to the chest, which stunned\surprised him after falling on the ground.
"Guuk" He gets right back on his feet "Hey...niche move you got there, reminds me of a match against a strong old man I had once when a young fighter"
"It is too soon to be surprised, Here. Let me show you something else"
The experient fighter started pulling his hands together and charging up an attack with a blue like-energy that seemed to be familiar.
'No way, is he gonna do what I think it is?' Yamcha thought.
Focusing his will through the palms, Ryu thrusts them outwards, letting out a surging energy wave that is expelled with might.
"Hadouken! (Wave Motion Fist)"
What seemed to be a blue ball of fire traveled from his palms and now through the air like a punching force towards the foe.
"Whoa there!" He quickly dodges the attack though, it didn't seem to be that fast "I thought for a moment that was the Kamehameha"
"The Kame what now?" Ryu asked, a bit confused at what Yamcha was referring to.
"Don't worry. But your gonna have to do better than that if you want to beat me, how about I show you that trick is not just yours?"
Raising his hand towards Ryu, with a grin he proceeds to shoot a total of five ki blasts of yellow energy to see how he would respond. They were not strong enough to kill, more like meant to push, but it would hurt if landed. Ryu is shocked to see that being shot energy resembling his own so quickly without the need to charge. But does his best dodging the majority of his moves thanks to all his years of battle, only getting hit by the last one who knocks him back.
"What the? What was that attack?" Ryu said, rubbing his shoulder.
"Ready to give up yet dude? I'm just warming up"
"You're a very interesting opponent to fight, but this battle is not quite yet done" Ryu said resolutely and stands once more.
"Same here, your moves so far interest me, now let's get more personal"
Running towards him once more, Yamcha jumps and leans his body slightly performing a hook kick, however, Ryu dodges from that attack with a move that looked like he just glided around the floor by the tip of his feet like he was in ice. Surprising Yamcha by the unique way of quickly getting the move on him, he counters with a move of his own when closer to his foe.
"Joudan Sokutogeri! ("High-Level Foot Edge Kick)"
With his leg on the floor almost as the root of a tree, Ryu throws a simple yet really strong forward-stepping sidekick. Its incredible force sends Yamcha away like a cannon, but instead of falling on the floor, the latter starts floating in the air like magic before his feet touch the ground.
"Hm? You...Can fly?" Ryu said quite chill, after all, he used to see so many weird occurrences "How mysterious"
"Geez! Are your feet made of steel? Hehe, yeah but you don't seem that impressed, but that only shows that you can't do the same huh? Well, then it is only fair that I don't use it anymore. You're still holding back right?"
"This fight has only just begun, show me what else you can do warrior"
They start clashing fists against each other like a classic melee confrontation. each one of their blows was a mix from getting either blocked or parried, both trying to find an opening to land a solid hit. By getting more serious and adding more power, it starts sending shockwaves through the air, and the floor breaking due to the force. Ryu knowing that Yamcha seemed to take stronger attacks manages to grab one of Yamcha's arms and does a shoulder throw, slamming him against the floor hard enough to leave a crater.
Being thrown that hard against the floor would make anyone scream in pain and surprised at how it was possible. But the move was nothing but a greeting in those two fights; getting up in a flash Yamcha goes for a leg sweep making Ryu fall. Trying to keep up the offense he tries to stomp his face with the feet, but the red bandana user is just too fast to roll away from it quickly before jumping on his feet.
"Senpukyaku! (Whirlwind Leg)"
But that was not a stop, with determination his jump performed a one-of-a-kind move by rotating himself in the air so quickly his one leg spun around like a miniature hurricane, managing to hit him a total of three times knocking him back. Now at full throttle Ryu was not going to stop, using the chance that his attack had landed, he went for a jumping uppercut right off the bat.
"Shoryuken! (Rising Dragon Fist)"
He then did a move where his body spins upwards like a corkscrew punching Yamcha right in his Jaw.
"Something tells me I don't need to hold back with you" Was all he said.
Not wasting any more time Ryu charges more power and then proceeds to shoot a more compact version of his Hadouken, this one however fires five small ones in quick succession. Yamcha's eyes suddenly shot open and he decided to play serious, stopping himself from moving any further he clenched his leading hand. With one scream he unleashes a Howl like Kiai strong enough to blow his move away in a canceling fashion as Tien did once against his former teacher Tao.
"That hurted...no more playing around Ryu, I'm going to beat you" Yamcha said serious and pumped.
"Fine by me, neither of us has reached its full potential yet"
Ryu ran towards his foe while charging energy in his hands, this time a red surge takes form; jumping up in the hair he shouted.
"Shakunetsu Hadouken(Scorching Heat Surge Fist)"
A powerful fiery red ball was shot towards the former bandit. Yamcha however didn't move one bit, instead, it let the attack collide against him, but surprisingly it just phases right through him, almost like he had suddenly vanished in thin air and left a ghost.
"What?" Ryu was confused.
"Where are you looking at?" Yamcha said behind him right after using the Afterimage technique.
The moment Ryu understood what happened it was too late. Spinning his body in conjunction with the snap of his knee, Yamcha delivers a spinning back kick making the heel of its feet collide with Ryu solar plexus so hard this time it was possible to hear something crack, before knocking him away.
"Gah!" He lets a yelp of pain.
"Let's finish this"
Powering up his Ki Yamcha vanishes and shows up in front of Ryu before delivering a flurry of rapid claw strikes, faster than the human eye can see, giving him the illusion that he possessed multiple arms, before he is sent away with a double palm strike that he could swear it resembled the maw of a wolf. The brave warrior is sent away, hitting against multiple trees who break in half before he crash-landed on the floor under the trunks. Seeing that his opponent was not moving an inch after that, the scar-faced fighting turns his back.
"Hey you were not too shabby, maybe we can do this again next time"
He said starting to walk away from the area, however. Yamcha suddenly felt a sharp feeling on the back of his neck, something was wrong. Turning around he sees the Ryu coming from under the fallen trees, his attack shredded his shirt and left a few claw marks but he stood up. Something was different however, his body was glowing in a blue mystical of the sort aura and so were his eyes, he couldn't put his finger on what exactly was happening.
Without batting an eye Ryu dashes forward, his speed now increased by a big margin, going into the offensive of light and heavy punches with no wasted movements.
"What in the!"
The martial artist is forced to be on the defensive while Ryu attacks, he tries to hit him the best he could but the man's parrying skills have powered up as well as his perception, Yamcha moves were being deflected. Backing away from the last blow Ryu charges a bigger Hadouken and launches it towards his foe who keeps a tight guard, but then it vanishes midair leaving Yamcha confused.
"Wait what just happ-"
Before it reappears a second later in front of him and detonates with explosive force.
"Guah!"
The move to suddenly turn invisible one moment and showing up again wasn't something he was not expecting. Ryu is still completely focused and goes for a special attack
"Reppuu Jinrai Shou(Gale Swift Thunder Palm)"
With accuracy and speed, the Ansatsuken user quickly repeats the process of two light punches, a strong medium punch twice, before following with a close uppercut, then taking momentum for a thunderous Shinku Shoryuken at full force that launches the Wolf fang fist user upwards like a missile. Falling on the ground face first, Yamcha feels his whole world spin before getting up and shaking his head, his visage clearing up little by little.
'Ouch!" He spits some blood into the floor "Damn that hurt, what did he do to improve this much?' He thought while rubbing his aching chin.
"Hoohhh!" Ryu charges another Hadouken but this one had cracking yellow electricity surrounding it "Denjin Hadouken!(Electric Blade Surge Fist)"
Looking back Yamcha sees the big energy ball of blue energy surrounded by electricity coming towards him, but he was not going to let his opponent always have his turn with all these attacks.
"I always wanted to try this move, and after so many tryouts I can finally use it" He smirked.
Yamcha raises his palm above the head and starts channeling his energy projecting a flat circular disc in shape and one of the sharpest moves.
"Kienzan!(Spirit Circle Cut)"
Borrowing Krillin's technique, Yamcha launches the disk which successfully slices through Ryu's move in half, canceling it. However, the deadly slicer of a move was not fast enough and his foe saw what it was capable of, so it managed to step out of the way before it could hit him and do any heavier damage.
'Will have to work on that speed a little more' "Let's finish this Ryu, the next move will take you down"
Yamcha calls out to him, actually serious about the statement as he starts powering up letting his milky-like aura expand outwards and shaking the air now. Ryu's only response was to cup his hands in a similar yet different way as well, blue energy and a small tint of ominous purple taking charge and forming itself. He too was going to pour everything he had into the next one. Yamcha splits his hands apart from each other and starts to charge a large quantity of ki, pretending to use the same technique that Goku used in the 23rd World Martial Arts Tournament against Piccolo, there was not that much of a difference, it was not a new move or anything but it was the very first super Kamehameha, so he decided to use the same amount.
"Chō"
A blue light is shown growing in power.
"Kamehameha!"
"Metsu Hadouken! (Perish Surge Fist)"
Two large beams of energy were launched, traveling on opposite sides and about to collide with each other for a test of might.
On one side was a powerful ki technique that focused fighting spirit and thrust it forward as a streaming beam of energy, first created after fifty years of work from the martial arts Turtle schoolmaster, Roshi, and used so many times over the years as its signature move. Ryu who was on his Mu No Ken (Fist of nothingness) state was fueling his attack with a controlled amount of Satsui no Hado (Surge of Murderous intent), making it twice as powerful as his Shinku Hadouken (True Void Surge Fist) Powered by his fierce Will and concentration, putting everything for the sake of this battle. The two destructive energy-based techniques collide with each other head-on, causing shockwaves that push anything away from its area, both on a steady battle of attrition to see who would push the other more for domination. When this was over everything around would suffer from some major destruction be it from the loser or Winn-

*Loud Alarm noises*
.

The sound of an alarm clock is then activated at full sound to the point it would wake up the dead. His eyes are shot open, waking up in surprise with a gasp and looking around the room. "Huh what? Oh...Was all that just a dream? Geez, it felt so real though. I wonder what made me have it" Turns out everything was nothing more than a dream, a very vivid dream.
A\N: I had this fight in my store for some good time already and it was done mostly because I felt like doing it for fun, I think it turns out ok and I was like hey! Why not make an Omake with this? Something akin to filler I suppose.
