AUTHOR'S INTRO: "Hi folks,it's been a rather long time since I posted any new SF fics or anything new since my last one. Y'see...I have my reasons for not doing so lately,life we gets in the way,i've been suffereing from lack of inspiration,confidence and
and even a nasty case of writer's block as of late. Not only that,you sure don't hear diddley from anyone else at the fanfiction sites anymore for who knows what reason,probably reading something far more popular be my guess.
Hopefully...hopefully i'm back on track once again,but we'll have to wait and see on that and hope for the best.
This new Street Fighter short story is inspired by a number of recent concepts and events as well as media treatments from the finale of events from the original STREET FIGHTER 1.
It was mostly inspired by the scenes of a short Street Fighter short film called STREET FIGHTER GENESIS where Ryu faces Sagat in what appears to be the tournament finals.
If you haven't seen it yet,check it out over at Youtube. It's imo a helluva short by sweet watch that could've almost put the recent SF:ASSASSIN'S FIST short film to shame if there was more of it to watch.
It's also a sort of re-telling of the final tournament battle Ryu was in against Sagat and is my own take on what else might have happened thrown in.
So,sit back and enjoy as I bring you my newest SF short story.
Disclaimer:Ryu,Sagat,Bison,Adon,Vega and Balrog are not my characters,but belong to Capcom.
BIG NOISE PRODCUTIONS PRESENTS!
"THE WAGER!" A STREET FIGHTER SHORT STORY!
A Secret abandoned building located in the midst of a city in Thailand,and it's battleground setting,a large and littered warehouse garage.
The nearest door opens and out steps two men.
One is a tall and muscular Japanese fighter dressed in a white karate gi,matching headband and red grip gloves and was carrying a white dufflebag over his right shoulder.
The man next to him was a little shorter and had a lean build. He,like Ryu was Japanese and was wearing a two piece grey suit and dark sunglasses.
"So...this is where I face my final opponent?"asked the karate man. "Yes,it is."said the man in the suit. "Just stand there,and wait his arrival and then...the match will begin."
The karate man nodded.
The man in the suit then turned and went back through the open garage door. "Oh,and...best of luck against this one."he said. "You may need it."
The door then creaked and slammed shut.
The karate didn't give his words a notice,but he knew he was obviously going to be in the for the fight of his life.
While he waited,a hit-tech surveillance camera was watching him from one of the walls.
And watching him from a hi-tech room with several people in it,were intently watching him.
Seated in the center of the room in a large red plush sofa chair was ,the supreme commander of the terrorist organization known as Shadowloo.
Standing beside were his trusty henchmen Balrog and Vega.
Also in the room seated in one of the sofas was a man with carrot top red hair and seated beside him was a fat and rather plump man of Mexican origin.
Two technicians were seated at the main monitor,making sure everything was coming out properly.
"Alright,gentlemen."said Bison. "Is everyone seated for the main event? Good!"
The man with red hair stood up for a moment. "Let this be known Bison!"he said. "I'm only hanging about here to watch my very master defeat this...this upstart. After that,he and I will return to our training grounds to attain greater glory in the power of Muay Thai!"
Vega approached the man. "You...shall address our master with the proper respect,fool!"he said.
The man Vega was confronting was known as Adon,Sagat's star pupil and he was about as arrogant and vicious as the rest of them. Adon simply spat at the floor. "I only show my respect to my master,pretty boy!"he said.
Balrog then stepped in. "You're asking for it,carrot-top!"he said. "For once I agree with senior Balrog."said Vega. "Say the word master,we shall do away with this bastard at once!"
"ENOUGH!"Bison shouted. "Back to your posts at once!"
The two enforcers reluctantly returned to their posts beside Bison and Adon sat back down.
"Now,now...mister Adon."said Bison. "No need to get irritable. I fully understand your reasons for witnessing this final match." "Good."said the kickboxer. "I'm glad we have an understanding...for now that is.
The Mexican man next Bison cleared his throat and addressed Bison. "Uhmm...I hope you haven't forgotten my part in this final match,senior Bison."said the man.
"Of course not,Los Pocos."said Bison. "We had a simple wager,if the karate fighter wins the final match,you shall have my organization.
But...if his challenger wins,then I shall have all the is yours."
Pocos sweated at the brow and wiped it off. "Si,we understand of course."
Balrog then spoke up. "Uh...pardon me for asking there boss."he said. "But just who is this guy we're looking at on the screen anyways?"
"Ah yes,him."said Bison. "He is simply known as Ryu. We have very little information on him. Save for the fact that for the last couple of days when he arrived at my tournament,he defeated everyone else very soundly. Even poor Adon over there."
Adon grunted in annoyance. "Just lucky that's all!"
Vega snickered beneath his mask and Balrog smirked wickedly.
"His challenger i'm sure you're all aware is the national hero of Thailand...SAGAT HIMSELF!"
"Oh,si...this should be good,quite good!" "Feh,we'll see."said Adon.
Meanwhile back in the garage room,Ryu placed his duffle bag down near a rotting old pillar and then he started to flex his muscles as well as adjust his very fight gloves.
He started to look around at his surroundings,garbage was littered all over the floor and there was a few rodents coming in and out of the room.
"Hmmm...I've been to better fight rings than this."he thought.
Suddenly,the back garage door opened and out stepped a very tall and muscular man dressed in a white and black hooded robe.
Ryu steadied himself,ready or anything.
The man then approached his hood,revealing a bald head along a single black eye patch across right eye.
The fighter then removed his robe,allowing it to fall to the floor,revealling his very fearsome appearance of muscles and scars.
"Ugh...he's even more ugly than his student Adon."thought Vega. "Either way,this should be good."
The man was dressed in kickboxing duds like Adon,blue and yellow boxing shorts and white fighter's tape around his fists and ankles.
"I...am called SAGAT!"said the man. "I..am known as Ryu!"said Ryu. "I have fought all this way to challenge you!"
Sagat sneered in disgust. "You...are the greatest challenger this tournament could bring me?
Ryu nodded. "I defeated your pupil you know."he said.
"Hmmm...yes you did true. "said Sagat. "But,let's just see how well you do against...ME!"
Ryu bowed and took up his fight stance and Sagat took up his fight stance all the same.
Ryu and Sagat both circled around the room at each other,both waiting for the first one to make their move.
Ryu then was about to charge forward,but befor he could,Sagat made his first move.
The kickboxer thrust both of his very fists forward and a single boomerang shaped ki projectile flew straight at him. "TIGER!"shouted Sagat.
Ryu barely managed to duck it,but before he knew it,Sagat crouched down and fired a Ground Tiger Shot.
The projectile knocked Ryu backwards and he skidded on his back across the very floor.
Sagat laughed. "You're going to have to do better than that to best me!" he said.
Ryu then got back up again,ready to fight again.
But before he knew it,Sagat fired another Tiger Shot. Ryu ducked and then saw that Sagat was about to fire another ground Tiger Shot.
He saw an opening,he then leapt high into the air and landed a flying kick right into Sagat's very chest!
Sagat winced in pain and crashed in turn to the floor.
"How's that?"said Ryu.
Sagat leapt back to his feet and growled in anger to the defiance he was facing.
The kickboxer then leapt into action and started to unleash his Tiger Knee leap attack.
Ryu saw it coming and then unleashed a fast and hard Hadouken!
"HADOUKEN!"he cried and in a burst of ki energy the giant was knocked backwards once again and into a nearby wall.
Ryu saw his next chance as he charged in and did a dash elbow strike into Sagat's very chest and then followed it up with a fast and hard Shoryuken the chin.
Ryu then was about to land back on his feet,but Sagat quickly moved in with flying Tiger Kick.
The impact caused Ryu to crash to the floor,giving Sagat a change to move in for the kill.
Sagat tried to land a deadly slam drop kick down on Ryu,but the Japanese managed to catch his very foot and shove him backwards.
Ryu then jumped to his feet and then unleashed his Hadouken at Sagat again.
Sagat at first managed to dodge it,but the next one hit him in the shoulder.
Ryu then leapt forward attempted his Hurricane Kick Attack at the giant.
Sagat managed to block it off while his feet skidded across the floor.
Ryu then landed on his feet,but before he knew it...Sagat unleashed his most deadly Tiger Shot.
"TIGER CANNON!"shouted Sagat as he slammed Ryu with a super charged Tiger Shot that sent Ryu crashing into a very wall in turn.
Ryu was down,but not out yet,as he got down on his feet and started to catch his breath.
"You fought well,Ryu!"said Sagat. "But I am still the champion of this contest...and I say this fight is over...STARTING NOW!"
Sagat then rushed at Ryu and prepares to do another deadly Tiger Knee Crush,but just as he got close enough...Ryu unleashed a desperation attack of his own!
Ryu's body charged up a fiery white blue ki and with it he unleashed a fired up Dragon Punch that sent Sagat flying completely backwards and crashing into another wall!
Ryu then managed to come back to his senses and looked down at hist very fists.
"What...what did I just do?"he said.
Ryu then ran over to the fallen Sagat,not only was the Muay Thai fighter unconscious,but he now had a nasty blood soaked scar across his very chest.
"Did..I do that?"said Ryu. "Omigosh!"
Suddenly,the same garage door that Ryu came in opened and the same Japanese man came in.
"So...you won eh?"said the man. "I admit i'm surprised." "That..makes two of us."said Ryu as he picked up his dufflebag.
"If it's all the same to you,i'll take my fight money and i'd like to leave this place."he said. "Yes,yes of course."said the Japanese man as he went with Ryu and the door closed.
While back in the main control room.
"NO..NOOO!"cried Adon as he arose. "That damn Ryu beat my own master!"
"Wow!'said Balrog. "Indeed."said Vega.
"Yes,quite."said Bison. "That's quite a surprise for us all."
Adon sneered in disgust and was about to leave.
"But, ."called Bison. "I still have that proposition for you for my organization if you're interested."
"Well...i'm not or I wouldn't be leaving now would I?"said Adon. "I'll find the patch of power of my own,not from you and your weapons and drugs. If you need a Thai fighter in your group,use Sagat if you'd like!"
"I see."said Bison. "So...you're not going to take him back with you?' "Are you kidding?"said Adon. "After that defeat,I can see I can do far better without him.
And oh yeah...do us both a favor drug lord,stay away from at all costs!"
Adon then exited through an automatic door and was gone.
"Hey,same to you and yo'mama..asshole!"called out Balrog. Geez...whatta douchbag!"
"Si,I would like to have killed him myself!"said Vega.
"He's not worth it,Vega."said Bison. "But..yes...he is truly making a mistake in not joining me and yes...like Sagat..he too will fall just the same."
Los Pacos then cleared his throat and approached Bison.
"Yes well."said Pacos. "Now that all that fuss is all over. I believe...we have that wager to attend to."
"Wager?"said Bison. "You are indeed a fat fool Pacos.
"WH-WHAT?"said Pacos.
"Unbeknownst to you while the finals took place,I had my informants and hackers gain access to your accounts in Mexico and Beunos Airies. As of now...your organization as well as wealth are my own. I had no intention of making a wager to you..FOOL!"
Pacos face turned red from the rage and it looked as if h was about to have a stroke from it all.
"YOU..YOU DAMN BASTARD!"he shouted. "THAT'S MY MONEY...YOU GIVE IT BACK NOW!"
Bison said nothing and simply smiled wickedly.
Pacos then reached into his suit jacket and was about to take out a revolver gun,when suddenly..
A single sharp metal object impaled the crime lord from the back,causing thick red blood to gush out over his silk shirt.
"I don't think so,senior!"said Vega.
"Thank you,Vega."said Bison. "That idiot was starting to annoy me." "Always a pleasure,master Bison."said Vega as he let loose of the now dead Mexican.
"Huh...so the pretty boy got to kill someone after all."thought Balrog.
Bison then pressed an intercom button and two Shadowloo grunts came charging in to address their master.
"Take that fig pig away to the incinerator at once...before he starts to stink up the room."said Bison.
The two grunts saluted Bison and carried the now dead body of Los Pocos away.
"Get me a camera fix on Ryu."Bison said to one technicians. "He must be leaving the area by now that the tournament is over."
The camera went to a scene of Ryu walking down through a city street,heading for home no doubt.
"Do ya...think we'll have to face him again,boss?"said Balrog.
"Time...as they say Balrog will tell."Said Bison. "There will be other contests of course,so hopefully we'll see the one called Ryu again.
Bison then thought:"And yes,you do have potential Ryu..don't waste it. And yes,we shall meet again."
Ryu meanwhile was about to take the nearest boat he could take back to Japan. He for one couldn't wait to tell his master as well as Ken about what went down.
But...little did Ryu knew what was awaiting him as he was to head towards Japan.
THE END..FOR NOW!
