Beginning of a Fighter's Journey
"Hiii-AAAHH!" A young boy with white hair and dark skin shouted hitting a practice wooden dummy with some punches. He also wears a classic white gi.
The boy is training his attack on the courtyard of the ancient dojo he lived in for most of his life since he was a baby, the man who took him in saw talent in martial arts at a very young age like three or four-years-old and has been training ever since. Throughout the years he has been growing stronger with strength and power along with speed and durability more than any martial artist who took years like decades of training to become strong. Sometimes he has a hard time controlling his overwhelming strength making sure he doesn't cause damage to the dojo and the only person he knows who can withstand his strength is his master.
The boy took out two index fingers on his right hand reeling back his arm with his eyes close as he focuses his mind on the dummy right in front of him and clear out any thoughts of his surrounds with nothing but the sound of the gentle breeze.
He stands there for a moment, a leaf has just snapped off the branch it was on, he shot his eyes open and instantly thrust his fingers at the dummy right at the center and it suddenly shattered into pebble pieces with some sawdust as well.
The boy inhale and exhale relaxing his body of the training he's been doing since 5:30 in the morning.
"It seems you're doing well, Raoh." An old man said from close by.
The boy whose name is Raoh, turn his head to see his Sensei/father with his usual gentle smile and walks towards him as the student stands over his Sensei as he's about 6"5" feet tall for a 17-year-old teenager.
"Morning Sensei." Raoh greeted with a bow.
"Morning, I see you're getting better and better everyday with those fists of yours." Sensei complimented on Raoh's progress on his training, feeling proud of his adopted son since he took him in.
"Thank you, I'm happy to hear praises from you, especially with the martial art style you've been teaching me." Raoh said.
"Yes, Hokuto Shinken is a powerful art that can only be pass on to a single successor. I'd tried to teach myself that before you were old enough to throw your first punch." Sensei said, remembering training himself in the arts a bit but when Raoh started training he quickly pick up the moves easily like he has known the style itself for a long time, and Raoh himself couldn't explain why.
"But to my surprise, you seem to be more suited than I am, your fists will indeed help the world in its most dangerous time." Sensei smiled.
"Me, a savior, that's something unexpected though if I can somehow save lives with my life, I'll glad die in battle." Raoh stated with a strong determination on in his eyes.
"Hehe, the strength in youth these days makes me feel at ease that I may die in peace after you become the strongest in the world." Sensei said.
"Come on, Master, you still got some strong spark in you to fight on." Raoh commented wanting to cheer up his master.
"Hahaha, is that so, then maybe we can fight to see if I still got it!" Sensei laughed, then he suddenly felt some strange, a strong and dangerous presence he hasn't felt in a long time.
He felt the draft in the air like something "demonic" is clouding over him and the dojo, almost like a big storm is coming towards him as a warning for whatever is coming, is coming for him.
"Sensei…?" Raoh wondered what his father is thinking with those intense looks in his eyes as he looks up to the sky.
Sensei notice Raoh is feeling concern for him and knew that he would be put in great danger if HE shows up, Raoh is a strong fighter like any other or more but Sensei fears that he is not ready to face this kind of battle against HIM. He has to make sure Raoh survives so he can grow stronger and hope to be strong enough to fight someone who surrounded his soul to become a demon.
Then an idea hit him on the head hard like a frying pan from a catapult as he begun to remember something important.
"Raoh, isn't there a martial art competition in the town down the mountain nearby?" Sensei asked.
"Yeah, I've been thinking of entering it myself." Raoh answered, wanting to see there are some strong fighters who either lives in that town or from other parts of the world.
"Well, why don't you go and see the fighters yourself, it'll be good experience for you to see the world outside of the dojo." Sensei suggested.
"Really?" Raoh shocked.
"Yes, I even heard from my old friend that one of his old pupils will be entering too." Sensei mentioned.
"Hmm, I guess it wouldn't hurt to check it out and see if this "pupil" can give me a good challenge." Raoh smirked looking at his balled-fist.
"Well then, you better get going because I believe it's going to begin in an hour, we'll make it before the registration get close." Sensei said knowing the time.
"Alright, I better get going!" Raoh excited as he sprints to the large doors of the dojo, but he quickly stops himself and turn to his master.
"Master are you gonna come watch my fight?" Raoh asked.
"Don't worry, I'll be watching it from the TV." Sensei answered before walking back to the inside.
Raoh worry that his father is hiding something from him, he senses something odd that his Sensei is feeling something strange though he knows if his Sensei is hiding something he'll explain it to him at the right time.
Raoh soon made his way outside of the dojo and on to the town.
(Later, Martial Art Competition)
"Hmm, some of them aren't much of a warm-up for me, I wonder if I'll meet this fighter." Raoh said to himself looking seeing some fighters who entered getting ready for the first round.
Raoh walk around for a bit thinking he could go see the rest of the town when he saw some when he was on his way here seeing some buildings and the people enjoying themselves. Come to think of it, Sensei get much info on what the fighter of his old friend's look like, so it'll be a hard time to find him.
He thoughts were cut off when he suddenly bumps into someone.
"Oh, sorry about, I wasn't looking where I was going." Raoh apologized to the man he bumped into.
The man has black hair and brown eyes, and a strong muscle body. He wears a white karate gi with the sleeves torn off, medium length hair, a long red headband, red fighting gloves, a black martial arts belt and bare feet.
"Nah, it's okay, accidents happen to the everyone." The man said.
"So, you're entering this fighting competition too?" Raoh asked.
"Yeah, I'm looking forward to see what kind of fight this will bring!" The man pounded her fists together.
Raoh got one look at that martial artist knowing for an instant this guy is strong, maybe stronger than himself since he's older with more experience of fighting others in the world and all. In fact, he can feel the excitement bubbling in his blood.
"I'm Raoh Hokuto." Raoh introduced holding out his hand.
"I'm Ryu, hope we can fight soon." Ryu said shaking Raoh's hand.
"You're really tall for a young man." Ryu commented.
"Really, I guess others around my age being shorter than me." Raoh chuckled scratching the back of his head.
"WILL ALL FIGHTERS PLEASE REPORT TO THE FIGHTING STAGE!" A man announced over the megaphone.
"Well, better get going to see who we'll be fighting." Ryu suggested.
"Hope I'll see you at the final." Raoh said, Ryu nodded.
(Meanwhile, with Sensei at the Dojo)
Sensei is sitting in the middle of the courtyard, meditating to relax both the mind and the body though he's also preparing himself for something big that will happen at any moment from now, he had truly hoped to see Raoh's fight in the competition on the TV like he said but unfortunately that was a lie. He had to sent off his son away so that he can be ready fight, even though he will die in the end he won't go down so without giving it he's all.
Suddenly, a loud rumble noise that sounds VERY close to Sensei as dust burst flying into the air from the impact.
Sensei open his eyes and look up to see a dangerous-looking man with a dark red and purple aura surrounding the man with red glowing eyes standing right in front of him just inches away.
"So, my time has finally come." Sensei said firm as he quickly stands up meeting the man's face making eye contact.
The scene changes to outside the dojo and there were explosions popping up from within and powerful shockwaves release in the air and the ground.
(Back with Raoh)
Raoh have faced some of the fighters in the competition though they weren't much of a challenge they still put up a good fight despite holding back his strength during those rounds, but now he's at the final round going up against Ryu as they stare at each other while standing on the stage.
"Alright, you ready for this?" Ryu asked.
"Yeah, but let me ask you this: are you the former student of Gouken?" Raoh asked.
"Yeah, my Master told me about yours and I'm looking forward to how strong you are." Ryu said readying himself.
"Yes, I'm excited about this too!" Raoh said readying in his battle stance.
Raoh and Ryu waited for the start of the fight, then a few seconds later the bell rang.
(Music-Street Fighter Ryu's Theme)
Both fighters charge at each other with their fists reeling back ready to clash at the center for a power-struggle contest putting power into their fists. They launch their fists at each other, colliding them into a clash which created a strong burst of wind out around them for an instant then they pull their fists away before colliding with other of their fists. Raoh then grabs Ryu's fist as he pulls him close and intend on punching on in the gut, but Ryu step aside avoiding the punch and went off with a roundhouse -kick to the face though Raoh block it with his arm. Raoh pushes Ryu away then charge at him, Ryu prepare as he stretches out his leg and spins around while hovering in the air a bit like a human helicopter.
"Tatsumaki Senpukyaku" Ryu spin kicks Raoh as he blocks them with his arm until he grabbed his leg throws him around like he's an empty bag and smash him to the ground.
Raoh jump up above Ryu going to a dropkick only for Ryu to saw this coming and move out of the way and clutches his fist going for one of his favorite moves that was also quick enough that Raoh couldn't react in time.
"Shoryuken" Ryu sent a powerful uppercut at Raoh sending him flying almost toward the edge of the stage. Raoh managed to regain his balance and stop himself from falling off otherwise the fight would've ended like that.
"This is great, I haven't felt this exciting in a long time! You truly are great, Ryu!" Raoh complimented as he enjoys the fight.
"Yeah, I'm having fun too! Let's go all out!" Ryu suggested exciting before the newly rivals charge at each other again.
Raoh and Ryu clash each other some punches and kicks, and some combo moves of their own; dodging and counter each other as they can feel blow for blow onto each other's bodies from the attacks that hit them. Raoh decided to perform one of his own moves as well.
"Itten Shō (Point Chime)" Raoh launch a powerful uppercut of his own to Ryu even though he blocks it with his arms across in front, the force still pushes him back and send in the air for a few feet.
Ryu felt that power making his arms shaking a bit knowing this kid is powerful and can tell that Raoh hasn't even shown his full power yet but he's about to see it soon.
The two looks at each other with exciting smiles on their face knowing this is going to be a great fight, they're ready to give it everything they got to see which of them is the strongest as their intense auras courses all over their bodies like they can't hold back their fighting spirit anymore.
KO a new chapter is done and hope you all enjoy it!
