Burning Fist Clash under Lady Liberty
The scene shows the train station of New York city, the train arrives to drop off the passengers and pick up some new ones with everyone moving in a hurry pace which can be a bit of a pain to get through even to those who grew up in New York.
Raoh, Menat, and Mika came out of the train right before the doors were about to close and leave the station.
"I heard how busy big cities like this are, but New York might busier than I thought." Menat surprised while dusting her butt.
"I'm actually to have been raise in a temple with my master." Raoh looked back at where the train used to be.
"Come on now, you can't be companying about something like taking the train. That sounds to me like you've been lacking the endurance in spirit!" Mika smirked with a little, loud laugh.
"No matter, we're in New York city now. Meaning it's time to find Ken Master, I will not rest until I find the man." Raoh determined.
"Oh, I am loving that determined look on your face right now!" Mika complimented.
"But how do we find him exactly? New York is one of the big cities in world, he could be anywhere right now." Mika pointed out.
"That's true, it'll be hard to know where he could have gone with his family." Raoh felt trouble in this.
"I'll check." Menat looked at her crystal ball.
"What is she doing?" Mika asked.
"She's a fortune-teller, the crystal ball is what helps her predict the future and helps her to find what she needs. Or at least that's what she told me." Raoh explained.
"Whoa! She can see the future? That is so cool!" Mika amazed of this girl's ability.
Menat smile from the comment of the wrestling girl though quickly got back to looking at her crystal ball to see if she can find where Ken Master is, then the ball started to show something from within.
"I'm getting… a stone tablet and a green flame, it looks like these are clues for how we can find Ken." Menat informed.
"Green flame and a stone tablet, not much to go on." Raoh crossed his arms, never like puzzles.
"Do you think those things could mean the same thing, like something that holds those two meanings?" Mika asked, not much of a think but can do her best to help.
"Hmm, I think you might be onto something here." Menat agreed.
Menat looks around New York to see if there is anything that can resembles the stone tablet and the green flame, Raoh and Mika looks around to help the fortune-teller to find if anything can relate those clues.
"Menat, I think I found what has those two items." Raoh called out.
Menat and Mika went over to where Raoh is looking at, he points up at a large poster showing the Statue of Lady Liberty as the fortune-teller girl looks at the two items the state is holding.
"Stone tablet and the green flame. Yep, that's how we'll find Ken." Menat smiled.
"The Statue of Liberty, it heard that statue represents the universal symbol of freedom that was made by the friendship between France and America." Mika explained of what she learned back in her school days.
"Surprised you know about that despite being Japanese." Raoh commented.
"I have come to America before with my master a few times, I just happened to hear some people talking about New York and the Lady Liberty statue." Mika mentioned.
"Well then, the Statue of Liberty is our next destination." Menat declared.
"Yes, it's time we go." Raoh nodded.
"Oh, I have an exciting feeling the encounter is going to be epic!" Mika smiled.
Raoh and the two girls went off to the path for the Statue of Liberty hoping they will be able to find Ken Master and hopes that he doesn't mind having a match with Raoh to test out his strength against his since he and Ryu studied the same fighting style.
"Oh wait, I just remember that the Statue of Liberty is on an idea. We're gonna need to take a boat in order to get there." Mika informed as she just remembered this fact.
"I'll need to check to see if we got enough for the boat." Menat checked her purse.
"Forget the money, I got a better idea of getting to Lady Liberty." Raoh smirked.
Menat and Mike look at the tall and young martial artist with curios looks on their faces as both are thinking the same question of what does Raoh have in mind to get to Liberty Island without the need of using a boat.
(With Ken and his Family)
"Wow, look! I can see her clearer more!" Mel pointed at the Statue of Liberty.
"Don't stand too close over the bars, son. We wouldn't want you to go overboard before we meet the big lady herself." Eliza warned.
Ken let out a big sigh feeling from how good this feels to be with his family in this time of peace as he looks up at the sky, thinking about everything he went through as most of his life have been around fighting strong fighters including his eternal rival and brother-in-battle, Ryu.
"Thinking about martial arts again?" Eliza asked, seeing the look on Ken's face.
"Something like that, just looking back on how my life became this awesome." Ken smiled at his wife.
"Oh Ken, you are your sweet words." Eliza smiled back at her husband.
"I've also been thinking about Ryu lately, got some words from him about fighting in this small martial art tournament and fought against a kid there." Ken mentioned that he got a letter from Ryu a while ago.
"He fought a kid?" Eliza shocked.
"I was surprised too, but Ryu mentioned that this kid is around high school age." Ken said causing Eliza to sigh in relief.
"Anyway, Ryu fought this kid and used a martial art style that he had never seen before, and he certainly gave Ryu one Hell of a fight. He even stated that if their fight wasn't a ring out, then the fight could have gone more, and he would've been injured some more even though he still would have won." Ken explained of how Ryu felt in that battle.
"Wow, that boy must really be something to earn such praise from Ryu." Eliza impressed.
"Yep, that just makes me excited of wanting to meet this guy!" Ken grinned.
"But you can still beat that guy, right daddy?" Mel asked as he walks up to his dad.
"Maybe son, but that guy was able to stand toe-to-toe against your Uncle Ryu. So, taking him down isn't gonna be as easy as it sounds." Ken petted his son's head.
"But yeah, I can totally win in the end." Ken smirked making his son happy to hear that and Eliza just rolls her eyes.
"Attention everyone we have arrived at the Statue of Liberty." The captain of the ship announced through the speaker box.
"Yay! We're here!" Mel excited when he heard the announcement.
"Now let see if Lady Liberty is in the mood for some visitors." Ken smirked looking up at the giant green statue.
All the passengers got off the ship with some looking up at the giant statue doing tourist stuff like taking some pictures with just the statue or with others, the Master family looks around the place seeing there are so many people here.
"I knew the lady was popular, but this feels a bit much." Ken commented.
"Men can be like that to beautiful women." Eliza smiled.
"Really now? Then I would think you're the most beautiful woman of them all." Ken said, hugging his wife and kissing her cheek.
"Ken, stop! Not while we're in public and in front of Lady Liberty." Eliza giggled.
"(Sheesh, those two just can't help but feel the love today.)" Mel thought commented on the love interaction of his parents.
"Come on, I want to see what the view is like!" Mel excited as he hurried over to the Statue of Liberty.
"Wait for us, and don't run off too fast or else you'll fall!" Eliza called out as she runs after her son.
"Never a dull moment with them." Ken chuckled.
Ken was about to walk forward to catch up with his family to enjoy another great moment of this vacation with his family.
"Hey look, something is approaching the island from the water!" One old woman yelled pointing at the water.
This caught Ken's attention as he turns around to see where the woman is pointing at.
But what he saw next was something he couldn't believe because it was crazy to even think so.
The scene shows something rushing in the water like a speedboat, and Menat and Mika are holding onto a rope while they stand on a big piece of draft wood the best they can.
"I'm not really sure if this is such a great idea!" Menat started to worry.
"It's already too late for that. Plus, this is awesome!" Mika cheered.
This reveals to be Raoh pulling on the girls and himself swimming superfast through the water almost about three times faster than one of the motorboats, those who are seeing this believe to be crazy that no normal human could ever pull off such a feat like that.
But Raoh is no ordinary human as he has been trained to push through the limits of humanity to reach greater heights, and he's not gonna stop training either.
"Raoh, we're about to reach land!" Mika alerted.
"Alright, then it's time we make a jump." Raoh said.
Raoh threw his upper half of the body above the water with both hands in the air.
"What is that guy doing?" Ken wondered, noticing how the guy is raising his hands like that.
Then Raoh slams his hands onto the surface of the water pushing the rest of his body out of the water and jumps right for the dock, he tugs on the rope pulling Menat and Mika towards him and caught both girls in his arms.
Raoh makes an epic landing beyond the dock causing it to shake for a second, everyone who saw this cheered of excitement and claps for them for what they believe to be a water performance.
"There, we're here." Raoh said as he put the girls down.
"When you said that you were going to swim all the way to this island, I didn't think you actually meant it." Mika impressed with Raoh's feat.
"It was surprising at first, but it was fun at the same time." Menat commented with a smile.
"But you could have at least warned us when you gave us the rope." Menat pouted.
"Sorry about that, I didn't want to waste any time with warnings when Ken Master is here. Who knows if the man has already left." Raoh stated while drying himself with his chi.
"Oh, so you're looking for me, huh?" Ken smirked.
This got Raoh's attention as he turns around to see the very man he came all the way to New York city for, this was the moment he has been hoping for.
"So, you're the Number 1 Martial Artist of America?" Raoh asked.
"Damn right, I am, and I welcome anyone who comes to challenge me to think they got what it takes to take on the best." Ken bragged with a thumbs up to his face.
"I am honor to meet you, my name is Raoh, the Fist of the North Star." Raoh introduced himself.
"Raoh?" Ken felt something in his head telling him that he had heard of that name before.
"Honey, could he be that boy Ryu mentioned in his letter?" Eliza asked, remembering that talk they had at the boat earlier.
"Oh, the letter Ryu sent me." Ken snapped his fingers, now remembering the name of the Raoh that was in the letter.
"Man, it wasn't that long ago when Ryu fought the likes of you, but now you're here in the flesh." Ken chuckled.
"Wow, you're really tall! Are you going to college soon?" Mel asked, being amazed of how tall this guy is.
"I don't think so, I'm not planning on going to college anytime soon since I'm still 16." Raoh answered.
In truth, Raoh has been trained in formal education of homeschool by his Master and a few people he knew who could help him in those lessons, but that was all Raoh could do at the time as he didn't have any intention of pursuing anything else in school life like college.
"No way! You're 16 and you're already this huge!" Mel gasped.
"Mel, it's not nice to scream at a potential new friend like that." Eliza scolded her son.
"It's fine. I actually get that lot from some people whenever I mention my age, and I can already tell this one here has some potential to be a strong fighter if he chooses to." Raoh complimented to Mel who smiles from this.
"Yep, Mel got a strong spirit and I'm helping him be prepared for whatever the world has to throw at him. A father got to make sure his son won't be in any sort of danger, am I right?" Ken asked while roughing on Mel's hair.
"Yeah, my master was the same way." Raoh nodded, remembering all the times he had with his master before that monster known as Akuma struck him down in cold blood.
"So, you came all this way to fight me?" Ken asked.
"I have, heard much of you being Ryu's rival and use the same martial art style. I have come to see what you're capable of." Raoh cracked his knuckles.
"There's also another reason why I have been seeking out Ryu and recently, you out." Raoh said.
"Oh, and what might that be?" Ken asked while stretching his arms.
"Try beating me in the fight and you will find out." Raoh smirked.
"This is gonna be just as much fun as seeing the Statue of Liberty!" Mel excited to see the fight is about to happen.
"I'm sorry if we interrupted your family vacation, my boyfriend can be excited when it comes to fighting." Menat apologized to the woman.
"It's okay, my husband is pretty much the same way, but that's one of the great things I love about him." Eliza smiled.
"Oh man, the fight hasn't even started yet and I'm already plump for this!" Mika shouted with both fists in the air.
(Music: Burn It Down, Skillet)
Raoh and Ken enter their battle stance while looking at each other intensely, waiting for a moment without a single movement of their bodies until the water splashes onto the edge of the island which felt like the single for the fight to start.
"Hokuto Burakkuhevun no Moue yarijiai (Black Heaven Jousting)!" Raoh charged forward with his right arm out coated in his fierce red aura almost like a jousting spear.
"Whoa!" Ken surprised of this kid already starting big at the beginning of the fight.
"Hadoken!" Ken fired the Hadoken at his new opponent but became shocked when Raoh just charged right through, and Ken quickly moves out of the way.
Raoh stop his charge and jumps for throw a roundhouse at the American top fighter which he blocks it with his arm, Ken pushes the leg down and start throwing some strong punches that are countered with Raoh's own punches and threw a kick that is clashed against Ken's leg then use this to move in for a kicking technique.
"Tatsumaki Senpukyaku!" Ken performed the hurricane kick adding some fire into the attack that pushes Raoh away.
"I see you like to turn up the head." Raoh commented, dusting off his chest.
"What can I say? I'm always too hot for anyone to handle!" Ken bragged and charged at Raoh.
Ken throws in a flaming Shoryuken that Raoh was barely able to avoid though can still feel the heat of the flaming punch across his chest, then Raoh immediately zooms in for a punch to the chest sending Ken flying several feet away.
"Man, you are good." Ken impressed with this kid already.
"So are you, same marital art yet different ways of doing it." Raoh smirked.
Ken and Raoh charges at each other while the others are watching in awe of the fight.
KO a new chapter is done and hope you all enjoy it!
