Battle of the Hokuto Shinken Legacy
(Several Years Later)
"Come on, bitch! What are you running for?" One bandit asked sarcastically.
"Yeah, we just want to show you a fun time!" Another bandit shouted with an evil grin.
"(Damn it, I can't believe I'm getting corner by these bandits on the one time of the day I wanted to go out and relax.)" A young woman wearing a hood thought cursed herself for not even bringing her weapon along.
The young woman was faster than those bandits, but they are still keeping up and she needs to lose them and fast. She makes a quick sharp right turn hoping to lose them along the way, but she soon found herself trap within a dead-end area as there is no way out.
"We got you now!" The bandit said along with ten others right behind him.
"Sir, please. It would not be good for you and your friends if you do anything bad to me." The young woman warned.
"Oh sure, like what? Call our mommies and have them ground us?" Bandit 1 asked mockingly, and they laugh.
"I actually miss my mommy." Bandit 4 admitted sadly only to get slap in the face by Bandit 1.
"Shut the fuck up! Who gives a shit about moms? I don't because I killed mine the first chance I got, and I've been free to do whatever the shit I want!" Bandit 1 admitted with a smile, showing no remorse for his mom.
"Bastard!" The hooded woman was angered in hearing this.
"Why so upset? Is it because you had your own mommy bitch who can't give you goodbye kisses anymore?" Bandit 1 insulted her with a chuckle.
But then the hooded woman threw a punch that made Bandit 1 stumble back a little.
"Wow, that was a pretty good punch! I wonder what else that body of yours is good for?" Bandit 1 smiled, finding the pain from the woman to be pleasant.
"(Shit, now I really wish I have my crossbow!)" The hooded woman thought hated this situation she found herself in.
The bandits are getting closer and closer to the woman as they are looking forward to having their ways with this sexy bitch, it's going to be so much fun for them that they don't know how to start and yet they don't give a shit as long as they can make her their property.
But the bandits stop when the leader heard something that sounds like an engine of a car or a motorcycle, wondering if someone is nearby.
"Hey, do you any of you guys hear that?" The bandit leader asked.
Instantly after asking that question, a motorcycle suddenly burst through a wall of the building heading right for the commotion catching their attention and leaving them in shock was the motorcycle lands right between the bandits and the hooded young woman.
"What the fuck was that?" Bandit 6 asked.
The rider of the motorcycle turns off the engine of the bike and climbs off facing the bandits showing her appearance of a young woman.
This woman who just showed up out of nowhere seems to be in her late-teen years wearing a two-toned (dark blue and black) skintight suit that is worn with a long black scarf, a dark gray corset-style leather breastplate, shoulder and knee pads with spikes mixed with boots that sport metal heels and toes, white gloves and an iron mask.
"It looks like I've found myself some more scumbags that are preying the innocent." The iron-mask woman glared at the bandit.
"Huh, are you trying to be some kind of hero? Fuck that, heroes don't exist here!" Bandit 5 mocked.
"That's right, there is only the strongest surviving and the weak dying like the motherfuckers they are!" Bandit 2 smirked.
"It doesn't matter if I'm seen as a hero, I only fight to give everyone hope and send people like you to Hell for mistreating life itself." The iron-mask woman cracked her knuckled.
The hooded woman felt glad to know that there was someone who came to her rescue though she is a bit worry that this might be much for her to handle with many of them against her.
"(Hold on, I feel like I know this woman from somewhere, but I can't quite put it.)" The hooded woman thought tried to think of where she knows this iron mask woman.
"Now, why don't you trash go find yourself a trash can and throw yourselves away because that's where you belong if you keep up the murdering and insanity." The iron-mask woman advised insultingly.
Hearing that got the bandits really angry as they shout at the bitch while waving their weapons and fists in the air.
"Lady, you're going to regret every saying that to us!" Bandit Leader gritted his teeth with a death-glare at the iron-mask woman.
"Come on, boys! Let's give this girl a lesson on how we do things to those who piss us off!" Bandit Leader commanded and they all shout in agreement.
All the bandits charge at the iron-mask woman to pound her down and chop her off into pieces as they don't care about playing with her body anymore, they just want to give her an unpleasant death she'll never forget in Hell though the mysterious woman isn't fazed by this.
"Look out!" The hooded woman shouted of concerned.
But her worry would not be for long as the iron-mask woman made her move as her body glows blue and a little bit of red.
"ATATATATATATATATATATATA! WATA!" She attacked the bandits with a barrage of punches while spinning fast at the same time, sending the bandits flying.
"Hokuto Shinken: Bōshi Hyakuretsu Dan (Spinning Hundred Crack Snap)!"
"Huh! Did that girl just say… Hokuto!" The hooded woman gasped softly; her eyes shaken with shock of unexpected.
"What just happened?" Bandit 6 asked.
"We were going to attack that woman, right?" Bandit 3 tried to make sure they are still doing that.
"Hehehe, I'll admit, you look a little bit stronger than you look, I'll give you that much." Bandit Leader chuckled as he got back up.
"But those bitchy punches of yours are nothing more than hits from a small pillow." Bandit Leader smirked.
"You're already dead." The iron-mask said.
This confuses the Bandit Leader thinking this girl is being delusional, but before he could move even one step forward to his prey, his body starts to feel strange and very painful from the inside.
"What the… What the fuck is going on?!" Bandit Leader panicked.
He wasn't the only one as the other bandits of the group are also experiencing the same thing with their bodies twisting and aching in pain from the inside, then they inflate a little like a bunch of balloons for a second or two until they explode with their blood and insides burst out.
"What the sh" The Bandit Leader barely got his last words out as he died from this as well.
"The way she did it, how those men die. It really is that style… Hokuto Shinken!" The hooded woman was stunned from what she just witnessed; didn't think she see this in years.
"Ma'am, are you alright?" The iron-mask woman asked.
"Y-Yes, I'm fine. Thank you for saving me, young one." The hooded woman thanked.
"You're welcome. I was on patrol around the area for any of those murdering bastards, looks like they might have come from outside since I already cleared this area a while ago." The iron-mask woman explained.
"Well, now I have to get going. My master is waiting for me." The iron-mask woman turned to her bike.
"Wait, what you just did to those men! That was Hokuto Shinken, wasn't it?" The hooded woman asked, not wanting to let her go just yet.
"You know of it?" The iron-mask woman asked curiously.
"I've only known a few people who used that martial art style, and the one I… He died at the hand of another man who also uses that style. He was also a dear friend to one friend of mine who was a little brother." The hooded woman explained.
Her hands shake of the memories, but she must remain strong as she removes the hood revealing her red hair.
"My name is Rin. Please tell me, who taught you Hokuto Shinken?" Rin asked.
The iron-mask woman looks at Rin thinking carefully about that name sounding familiar to her, and then a click felt in her mind as she remembered where she heard that name.
"My name is Makoto Niijima, and the one who taught me Hokuto Shinken was Raoh." Makoto revealed herself as she takes off her mask and her master.
Rin's eyes widen with shock and gulps in a bit of fear. That was the thing she was most afraid of since she knew that Kenshiro was the only true successor of Hokuto Shinken and was killed by Raoh, she and her friend Bat swore they would have revenge on him and to free the land from his tyranny.
"I know what you're thinking. That my master is still the same tyrant man who killed his little brother all those years ago, and that you want to kill him in revenge of the very you loved with your very being." Makoto figured from how Rin's eyes tell her.
"Wha… How did you know I was in love with him?" Rin asked in shock.
"Because of your eyes, they hold so much sadness of the love that was never returned nor would they have been responded because he had his heart set on a young in his life. But you still looked up to him, admire him for the good he has done to the land with both his heart and fists." Makoto answered calmly and honestly.
"(She was able to see all that from just one glance in my eyes!)" Rin thought shocked.
"I know there are a lot of sins that my master has done in the past including the one life he took that could never be replace." Makoto said, seeing Rin clutching her fists in anger.
"His name was Kenshiro, the one who could even surpass Master Raoh. I remember him telling me about how proud he was of his little brother in that final battle." Makoto said.
"I remember him crying at the time, sadden of losing another brother." Rin said, referring to Toki as the other brother as well.
"But what if I told you that it was Kenshiro himself who brought me to Master Raoh." Makoto mentioned.
This shocks Rin as she continues to listen.
"It was several years ago, my people were struggling with food, and I needed to help them in some way, any way possible. So, one night when I was looking up at the stars, I saw the Seven Stars of Hokuto as if they were calling out to me, telling me where to go. That lead me to Master Raoh's castle and where I met the one who would train me in the secrets of Hokuto Shinken." Makoto looked up at the sky where those stars would be if it was nighttime.
"I told him I was going to get food for my people even if it means death, and yet after hearing me out and seeing me fight, he took me in because it was meant to be." Makoto said.
"After getting settled in, I told my master how the stars telling me to go, and he told me that he saw the spirit of his little brother standing behind him proving more of our fate together. That I am destined to carry on the legacy of Hokuto Shinken after Kenshiro." Makoto stated.
"Kenshiro… Ken… After in death, he still finds ways to help our chaotic world." Rin cried with tears of joy coming out.
In all the times she has known Kenshiro, this is something he would do in order to help bring hope to the land even if it means doing the impossible. And looking at Makoto now, she can definitely see Kenshiro in her, seeing that she can indeed carry on his will.
"I'm going to fight Master Raoh today." Makoto said which puzzle Rin a bit.
"Today is the day I fight for my life, to see if I am truly worthy of becoming the next true successor of Hokuto Shinken, to know what must be done with these fists." Makoto explained as she tightens her fist.
"That would also mean ending his life." Makoto closed her eyes, feeling the sadness but knew full well that it must be done.
Makoto got back onto her motorcycle and start up the engine.
"Will you be able to win?" Rin asked.
"That depends on the fight itself. To be honest, maybe even the Heavens may not know of the outcome." Makoto said before she rode off, heading back to meet up with Raoh.
"(That girl, I can feel that she is very strong. Just like Kenshiro was.)" Rin thought believed.
Rin decided on something that she hasn't thought of doing in the longest time, to go witness the great battle that is about to happen at any moment today.
But first, she will need to go back to the Hokuto Army and inform Bat about this.
(Hokuto Chi Training Grounds)
Raoh is meditating on the sacred training ground with Kokuoh by his side, both are waiting for a certain someone to arrive for the biggest fight of their lives.
"Once again, this place will serve at a battlefield between two fists of Hokuto Shinken." Falco said as he and Salos are standing far enough to not get caught in.
"It pains me to see the two who have grown a bond together must fight each other now." Falco expressed his feelings about this fight.
"There she is!" Ryu, the son of Raoh, pointed at the incoming young woman.
Makoto comes charging through the opened gate and stops close to a large pillar and a statue of a demon.
"This place is a sacred ground of Hokuto, once again being use for battle." Makoto said.
"Big sis Makoto!" Ryu ran up to her for a hug. "Good luck, remember that dad is really strong." He pointed out.
"I know, I know that all too well. You just watch and see how this fight will turn out." Makoto nodded, then makes her way to Raoh.
Makoto got off her bike and walk towards to the training ground while Kokuoh comes down to let the two have their fight, the giant black horse nuzzles on Makoto to wish her good luck in the fight.
"Thank you, Kokuoh. I hope we can go for a ride when this battle is done." Makoto smiled, petting him before making her way to Raoh.
"The time has come. Master." Makoto said.
"Indeed, the training I have put you through. The many deaths that almost claimed your life, and the deaths of others you stain on your hands." Raoh started rising up.
"All leading up to this very moment." Raoh turned around facing Makoto, and that simple turn around causes a strong shockwave though she isn't fazed by it.
"(Yes, everything we have been through…)" Makoto thought closed her eyes for a moment, thinking back on all the times they had together.
On the first day of Makoto's training under Raoh after he came back from Land of Asura, riding on Kokuoh by herself, mastering her first Hokuto Shinken technique, convincing Raoh to celebrate his son's birthday, killing her first bandits who were trying to hurt an innocent old lady and her grandson, meditating on top of a very sharp tip of a tower, the sparring matches she had with Raoh and the other warriors.
Everything that has brought her to this very day, the final test she must pass in order to become the next Fist of the North Star, the next successor of Hokuto Shinken.
"I am ready!" Makoto declared as she threw her iron mask away.
(Music: Ten Thousand Fists, Disturbed)
"Then let us go." Raoh's body started to glow red of his fierce Almighty Aura as Makoto does the same with her aura, then they both do the Tenki Shō wishing each other an honorable match.
"It has begun." Falco said.
And then, they both launch an attack at the exact same time.
"Hokuto Gosho Ha (Iron Palm Wave)!" Raoh and Makoto fired their Tōki blast causing an energy struggle for a moment they dissipate.
"Good, your Tōki control is strong." Raoh complimented.
"Thank you, Master. I'm glad to see my fist have not fail me." Makoto smiled.
"Yet." Raoh said before charging at Makoto.
Whenever Makoto would see Raoh's fist coming at her, she would get scared of how it looked like the fist would grow bigger into the size of a giant, but she is not afraid of that giant fist anymore and deflects the big punch to past her.
"Mikadzuki bakku kikku (Crescent Back Kick)!" Makoto turned around and threw a strong back kick uppercut at Raoh that knocked him back a few feet.
"(Ah, she has already use one of the new techniques of Hokuto Shinken she has created throughout her training.)" Raoh thought smirked, glad to see she's not pulling any punches.
Makoto leaps at Raoh for a strong to the face which he is prepared to block with his arm, but the punch was faint move as she was really going for a knee-kick in the chest. A shockwave burst from this though Raoh seem to have reacted to that one as well grabbing it with his hand.
Raoh swings Makoto around and throws her away crashing through a stone wall, she groans in pain from that, but she immediately moves when Raoh comes down with a punch that created a crater and she immediately goes back to attack on the right side which Raoh definitely felt, but he responds immediately with a back swing strike of his arm to push her back.
Raoh screams a little before he charges at Makoto with an aura coated fist.
"Hokuto Hiei Ken (Flying Defense Fist)!" Makoto jumped a flying kick at Raoh's attack.
Both came at each other and went past each other, a second later and Raoh's right shoulder burst a cut with blood coming out though Makoto got it worse as she gasps in pain coming from her right side though she wouldn't let herself fall.
"(As expected, Raoh isn't holding back at all. He means to kill me.)" Makoto thought panted a little but steady her breathing.
"What's wrong? Finish already?" Raoh asked.
"Not at all!" Makoto yelled.
They charge at each other again striking their fists into each other causing another shocked and the ground below them cracking, the two throw their fists at each other as Makoto is able to land more than several on her master and withstand his strikes as well and a few dozen more.
During the barrage clash, Makoto drop down with her hands on the ground holding herself upside-down and her legs spread out.
"Hokuto 7-Tsu no tatsumaki, 1-tsu no rakurai (Seven Tornado, One Lightning Strike)!" Makoto spun herself around like a very fast spinning top at Raoh as he put up his defense. Raoh withstood the spinning kick attack though the force from those kicks does push him back a bit about one foot, then she spun herself back right side-up and threw the last kick that sparks lightning on the arms.
But Raoh stay strong and deflect that kick away to counterattack.
"Hokuto Itten Sho (Point Chime)!" Raoh threw an uppercut at Makoto who was barely able to block her arms though she was sent flying.
But Makoto doesn't stay down for long as she kicks herself back up and goes at Raoh again.
Raoh see her coming and throws a straight punch though Makoto let it slide on her shoulder and the side of her face to get in closer to land one attack on her.
"ATATATATATATATATATA! Hokuto Juji Zan (Cross Slash)!" Makoto unleashed a barrage of punches at her opponent's frontal like a cross.
The attack causes Raoh to cough up blood and stood back a little, but he immediately attacks with a swing kick, Makoto tries to block it with her arm, but the attack is stronger than she thought as she pushed away about ten feet.
Makoto was going to fire an energy attack at her master, but her body suddenly aches and little blood squirt out from her forehead.
"How did he…?" Makoto was puzzled at first, but then she remembers the Itten Shō attack earlier and realizes that must've been it.
"(Of course, you wouldn't let defense get in the way of your fists.)" Makoto thought smiled.
Raoh comes at her and throws down a strong punch to crush her down to the ground, but Makoto use the momentum of the punch to launch herself in the air and getting the right side man to throw a strike.
However, Raoh's body move on its own because of Musō Insatsu (Unconscious Shadow Kill) with his arm goes up to strike her only for her body to move using the same Musō Insatsu to counter with a kick.
"Hokuto Ujo Danjin Ken (Sattva Swift Judgment Fist)!" Makoto send a wave of energy at Raoh that hit his arm causing blood to burst out though not feeling pain except pleasure.
"(Good, use every Hokuto Shinken technique I have taught you, including ones that were done by my brother Toki.)" Raoh thought smirked.
"It's incredible! Both of them are fighting so incredible, they appear to be equal in everything we're seeing!" Salos was shocked. He knew Makoto is a really strong warrior trained under Raoh, but he didn't think the girl would become this strong now.
"Makoto has truly shown us over the years of her spirit as a warrior, one who carries on the 1800 years of Hokuto Shinken and the will to do it." Falco said strongly.
"Indeed, that girl truly is something else." Hyoh commented, revealing himself to be standing with Falco and Salos, along with his wife, Han, and a young man.
Makoto took in a deep breath to use Tokei Koho (Strength Summoning Breathing Technique) to empower her strength before going back to attacking Raoh.
"Hokuto Raretsu Ken (Fist of Destruction)!" Raoh threw his attack at Makoto.
"Hokuto Kakuhakai no Ken (Nuclear Destroying Fist)!" Makoto threw her attack at him too.
The two threw barrages of very fast and very powerful causing explosions of shockwaves from each time their fist collide into each other, and their bodies would feel the extreme pain when they connect though pain even stops them from fighting and it's not gonna start today.
"I see you have come, Hyoh." Falco said.
"As head of the Main Hokuto Lineage Clan, I wish to see what era know this new warrior could bring. The one chosen by Kenshiro." Hyoh smiled.
"I wonder if Kaioh would approve of a girl being a successor if he was here?" Sayaka asked.
"Perhaps, but we may never know." Hyoh said.
Makoto shot a fast swipe kick on one leg to make Raoh lose balance, and she jumps right above Raoh with her fist glowing intensely of her energy.
"Here it is, my own unstoppable fist!" Makoto readied to give it to him, to end this fight.
"She might actually win!" Salos was shocked.
"No, Raoh still has one more thing for Makoto to face." The young man said.
"Maboroshi-boshi Ken (Phantom Star Fist)!" Makoto threw down her ultimate technique to finish this fight once and for all.
"(Makoto, your fists have indeed grown strong. But let us see if you can push them further.)" Raoh thought with his eyes flashed for a second.
Makoto's attack causes a powerful explosion of her aura that everyone within the area stood their ground to withstand the shockwave.
(Music End)
When the dust cloud clear away, her eyes widen with shock to see that her master isn't on the ground, nothing but an empty big crater.
"I know I hit him, and yet it was like I hit… nothing!" Makoto gasped in realization.
"It is time for the ultimate test." Raoh said, appearing right behind Makoto.
Makoto instantly jumps upon hearing his voice and flips backward.
"Tensho Hyakuretsu Ken (Celestial Hundred Crack Fist)!" Makoto unleashed a midair rapid punch though Raoh just fazes through them with the mirage clones all attacking her.
Makoto screams in pain as more blood comes out and falls on the ground.
"You have done well, Makoto. You have become so strong that you have even pushed me into using Hokuto Shinken's ultimate technique: Musō Tensei! Now, time to see if you can endure the sorrow." Raoh declared.
"Damn, didn't think he use that on a girl. This could be it for her." Han believed.
"No, this is only the start for her." The young man said, having faith in Makoto to win this.
Far from the battlefield, Rin is watching the fight with Bat and the old man Rihaku.
"I can't believe what I'm seeing, this is… This is…" Bat was shocked speechless.
"Yes, it's just like the battle that happened with Kenshiro all those years ago." Rin felt what Bat was trying to say.
"I thought it was strange when Raoh hasn't been active much as he should since conquering the land, but now it's more clearly what we're witnessing is the will of Hokuto." Rihaku stated.
"You said that Kenshiro's ghost guided her to Raoh? Is that really true?" Bat asked, finding a hard time to believe that.
"I felt truth from her, she was not lying." Rin said.
"Now, we shall see how strong she really is." Rin prayed for Makoto to win this fight.
Makoto coughs up a little blood, but she gets back up still determined to keep on fighting until she beats him, she moves her hands in the stance of Tenha no Kamae (Stance of Celestial Destruction) to meet with Musō Tensei.
"Show me if you can surpass my fists!" Raoh charged at Makoto.
"Tenha Kassatsu (Heavenly Destruction)!" Makoto fired powerful energy from the fingertips, they seem to have stopped Raoh just for one second.
"Shichisei Tenshin (Seven Star Spirit)!" Makoto charged to punch at Raoh which seem to almost connect him, but he fades away, and she was attacked again making her fall again.
"Is this really all you got? Are you truly going to die here, then all of this would have been pointless! You must NOT hold back, Makoto! You must let everything out to fuel your fists, the sorrow and rage you feel, do they not resonate within your fists?" Raoh asked.
"Idiot, I've been feeling all of those things for a very long time. Even now." Makoto said as she gets up, and tears dripping from her face.
"What's hurting me the more is… That I have to end the man I've grown to love as my father." Makoto sobbed a little. Raoh was shocked to hear this, and started to realize that he has also seen this girl as his daughter.
"But even so, I won't give up. I'll use these fists of mine to become stronger than fate itself, so that no more death would fall upon things I fight for. I will take in all the sorrow and rage, including yours!" Makoto declared.
"Then show me you can!" Raoh raised one hand.
"Hokuto Tensho Raigeki (Heaven Commander's Lightning Strike)!" Raoh threw down the karate chop at Makoto.
His attack made contact with her body, or so he thought as she suddenly faded from the spot making him gasp and his arm burst with blood and bruises as Makoto appears behind him with her aura glowing fiercely and clearly.
"No way, did she really…?" Han gasped.
"Yes, she has done it." Hyoh nodded.
"Well done, you have achieved what I believe you could. Musō Tensei." Raoh smiled proudly at Makoto.
"It thanks to everything you have taught me, along with everyone who has helped me get this far, the lives that were lost, and the ones that were saved. I fully understand what it means to be Fist of the North Star, this is my destiny." Makoto stated strongly.
"Then it's time for this final battle to end!" Raoh charged at Makoto.
(Music: My Last Stand, Tekken 8 Original Soundtrack)
"Hokuto Saiha Ken!" Raoh threw a powerful uppercut that Makoto barely dodge destroying part of her outfit.
"Hokuto Juha Zan (Softness Ripping Slash)!" Makoto unleashed a barrage of kicks making him block and dodge.
Raoh and Makoto continue going at each other with both using the ultimate technique of Hokuto Shinken, it is unknown which fighter the tide of battle turned to, but they are giving this their very all. They attack all over the battlefield moving so fast that no normal person would be able to keep up with them, except the martial artists watching though even they are barely able to see them.
Then reappear falling on the ground as they gasp in serious pain and covered in blood, but they can still fight.
"This is amazing! The fight I had not felt in a long time, this is what I've been wanting as a warrior!" Raoh smirked excitedly.
"Indeed, this is the hardest battle I have ever fought. And I'm going to win." Makoto agreed despite the tears.
Makoto blitzes at Raoh with a punch to the head only for him to dodge and was gonna karate chop her down from the middle, but she was able to avoid that and part the left side of his chest and Raoh responded by punching her away as well. She sprints back at him throwing some punches and he does the same.
Raoh suddenly felt pain from one of his legs as he almost fell and barely let his guard down when Makoto attacked him again, he knew the time has come.
"The end has come." Raoh said, concentrating all of his energy into one final attack.
Makoto can see this and decides to end this using her father-figure's ultimate technique.
"This is it. This will decide it all!" Falco saw this.
Makoto and Raoh stare at each other for a moment, and their instincts snap at them to strike.
"Hokuto Hatenkai Ken (Heaven's Breaking Fist)!" Raoh threw his fist at Makoto.
"Tensho Honretsu (Heaven's Command Charge)!" Makoto fired the powerful energy blast at Raoh's fist.
The attack from Makoto is indeed powerful to almost push him back, but he doesn't give in as he keeps going through reaching her.
"This better not be all you got because if that is then you die!" Raoh shouted.
"I know. Which is why I actually have one more!" Makoto stepped forward toward her master.
"Akogareno Kibō no Ken (Desired Fist of Hope)!" Makoto threw one last punch at Raoh in the chest causing a shockwave to burst through his body and he coughs up blood.
(Music End)
"Now it's over." The young man said.
"Raoh…" Makoto held Raoh.
"You did well, Makoto. You are now the true successor of Hokuto Shinken." Raoh smiled proudly at her.
"It was an honor fighting you." Makoto said with a sobbing hug.
"Come now, no need for tears. This is what I wanted, to be defeated by the strongest warrior whose fist surpassed my own." Raoh stated.
"You have made me so proud, my daughter." Raoh smiled.
"Father." Makoto exclaimed, then Ryu comes in to give his father one last hug for seeing him go far away and never coming back.
"Ryu, grow up to be a strong young man and find your own path." Raoh advised with smile.
"Now, it's time for me to be off." Raoh pushed them away as he walks a few steps.
"Kenshiro, Toki, I am coming soon." Raoh said, he then pierces his chest and his body glows with his Almighty Aura. "My name is Raoh, and I have no regrets!" He fired the powerful beam at the sky that travel to space in a second and split the entire sky. A move that would later be named Hokuto Goten Sho (Iron Shockwave).
"Goodbye, father." Makoto said with tears flowing down.
"She really did it." Bat was shocked.
"Yes, now the land can truly begin healing and live in peace." Rin smiled, she felt proud to that girl for carrying on Kenshiro's fighting spirit.
"Looks like a new era is on the horizon, think you can handle that?" The young man asked, walking up to Makoto.
"My big sister can handle anything with a punch!" Ryu stated.
"Well, he's not entirely wrong there." Makoto chuckled.
"My name is Ren Amamiya, of Hokuto Ryuken." Ren held out his hand to her.
"Hokuto Ryuken?" Makoto was shocked.
"Don't worry, I'm not here to hurt you. In fact, I wanna help you. I wanna help settle the bad history between the two schools that happened 1800 years ago to today. I believe they could've reached out to them, to find the love they were looking for." Ren explained.
"And you think I can give you that love?" Makoto asked.
"Maybe, but I truly want to make things peace between the two schools and to help build a better future for everyone. You could say I'm a Demon Lord who fights for love!" Ren grinned.
"A demon lord of love? How that's silly." Makoto giggled.
"But… I think we can work together." Makoto took his hand as they shook together.
But strangely, their auras came together forming into a heart and they quickly separated their hands.
"Okay, that was weird." Makoto commented.
"Yeah, and huh… You should cover yourself up." Ren handed her his jacket. Making Makoto realize that some of her body is exposed from the battle causing her to blush and quickly took the jacket to cover herself.
"Thank you." Makoto thanked, feeling embarrassed.
"Oh, look! I think they fell in love!" Sayaka giggled and Hyoh chuckles.
"Now, ready for the future?" Ren asked.
"Yes, I do believe I am." Makoto nodded as Kokuoh neigh loudly as everyone sees this with their own eyes that the future is in good hands.
Makoto, the 65th Successor of Hokuto Shinken, the Fist of the North Star, is ready to take on the world with her fists.
KO the final chapter is done and hope you all enjoy it!
Man, this was one hell of a long chapter to make for me, but it was all worth it to show that Makoto has become the new successor of Hokuto Shinken after defeating Raoh in Battle and has even met Ren as a fighter of Hokuto Ryuken who wants to make a true difference to help the world.
KO comment, favorite, and hope you all enjoyed reading this story!
