As the darkness surrounded Ryu's entire body the pain from Juri's strikes echoed throughout his entire body; they cried out with sadistic passion, craving for violence and desperation. Ryu continued to grasp Juri by the neck she struggled to get free from his hold.

"Damn, I've got to get free," Juri struggled.

She used the power of her eye as her KI energy surrounded her as launched a punch, but was caught by Ryu as he saw it coming. She then kicked his hand releasing his grip upon her neck. Happy to get free she felt her neck trying to catch he breath after, however, Ryu attacked her once more without a second notice.

"Looks like the perfect time to test it out fully," she said smiling as her KI energy surrounded her entire body ready to go at full power against Ryu's Satsui no Hado.

"By the end of this fight only one of us will be left standing." She said.

Ryu roared with dark emends power craving blood of the other fighters as he charged with full force at Juri. She launched her powerful kick at Ryu bruising his cheek. She launched her next attack, but it didn't even faze him as he grabbed Juri by the neck and slammed her down.

"This time I'm also getting serious," she said brushing off her shoulders as she charged her power and swung her kick launching out an even more powerful projectile then before.

"That should put him down," she said taking a breather.

Ryu rushed at Juri once more punched her hard. Injured from his attack she wiped the blood from her forehead. "You are pretty strong, even while normal, but now let me show you something of mine." Juri said.

As her KI energy surrounded her entire body, the waves of her KI energy begun to circle around her and all over the environment. It then created multiple dragons created by her aura all moving around her. She then performed multiple kicks as the dragons were at her command ready to strike.

"You put up a good fight baby, but now it must all end." Juri charged at full force with her KI energy dragons by her side surrounded her entire body and then launched a devastating powerful kick that impacted the whole forest.

"Man, I never thought I had to go all out on him." Juri said as she approached Ryu and found him collapsed on the ground. "Well looks like that takes care of him, but I did have a good time with you, so why don't I give you a parting gift on the way." Juri said as she was about to lean in on Ryu.

Ryu eventually woke up in an angry rage as his aura blew Juri away. The red aura surrounding Ryu had became much stronger throughout the fight as he was now seeking blood.

"I guess we'll have to do this the hard way. I'll fucking kill you dead!" she shouted as she charged at Ryu with full force about to strike, but instead of attacking she circled around him with enhance speed trying to confuse his senses. Ryu tried to strike her, but her speed had overwhelmed him, so pounded the ground to slow down Juri.

Ryu then shot out a purple Hadoken at Juri as he performed a counter attack striking him in the head and chest with extremely hard blows. Ryu felt a pain in his chest as Juri had marked him like he marked Sagat. Angry, he clutched his fist as purple aura surrounded his fist as Juri launched another one her kicks at Ryu as their attacks clashed with each other impacting the forest once again.

Ryu charged at Juri as he preformed Shoryuken on Juri and then clenched a purple Hadoken on the palm of his hand and slammed Juri onto the ground with strong impact.

"Weak and Pathetic fool!" Ryu roared.

"I can't believe this; I guess I have underestimated you too much." Juri moaned in pain as she coughed up blood. Ryu was still consumed in anger and hate for him to even care about Juri's loss.

"Show no mercy; put me out of my misery. I'm turned on enough." Juri moaned in pain as she closed her eyes.

Ryu raised his fist as he was about to strike Juri down until his attack was seized by precious memories of his friends and rivals who believe in him such with a sincere smile as Ken, Sakura, Chun Li, Sagat, Rose and Gouken.

"What are you waiting for do it now? Give in to the Satsui no Hadou; let no one hold you back from your true potential." Akuma voiced in Ryu's head. Ryu begun to have a migraine to fight for control over his own body.

"No…I won't do it, I won't give in!" Ryu shouted.

"You are weak; you cannot possibly win every battle without the dark Hadou. Give into the mighty power!" Akuma demanded.

"No…!" Ryu shouted as he shot out a Hadoken in mid air and pounded his head to the ground multiple times to get Akuma out of his head.

Later on that night, he found himself collapsed on the ground as he noticed Juri by his side was seriously hurt. "I'm so sorry it turned out like this." Ryu apologized. Feeling guilty for his reckless fight he then carried her into an old Dojo to get her treated.

"Oh my, quite the assault she has been through." The monk complimented.

"Can you treat her?" Ryu asked carrying unconscious Juri.

"Indeed, I promise that she will be well, in the meantime why don't you stay over too. You need a break from your training after all.' The monk said.

Ryu bowed in reply. "Thank you I will."

As Ryu rested by the room right where Juri was being treated by the monk he stared at his palm for a moment trying to figure out his inner strength, but then felt a pain in his chest. He quickly took out his Karate Gi there was a mark on his chest which made him very surprised on the outcome.

More to come on the way…
