His fight with Gill had left severe injuries, he was bleeding massively, imense pain racked his entire body. Ryu's cloths were stained with his own blood mixed with Gill's,his skin had cuts and bruises.The battle ground were the fight had took place was now a desolant wasteland, were there were once trees and plants were now nothing but dead trees and ash.

Ryu cluched his side where a bleeding wound was housed, slowly picking himself up despite his pain he stood up and did the best stumble he could substitue for walking. Ryu's feet slowly shuffling on the dirt, he dwelled on his thoughts.

*I will make it through* his mind spoke. *I have too much to live for*

He thought about Ken, his first freind, how he had given up the fight to have a family. His wife and newborn child. Ryu then thought about Chun Li, his first love, how they would share simple kisses when waking up in the morning, the nights they spent (doing you know what ^_~),and the moments just spent in each others company, it made him laugh on how he was convinced to go on his first date with her. he had too much to live for to die now. --------

"COME ON KEN, HURRY" yelled a worried Chun Li " IM MOVING AS FAST AS MY LEGS ARE LETTING ME RUN LI" shouted Ken from beheind.

*I knew I shouldn't have let him fight alone I just knew I shouldn't have* Chun Li thought

*Ryu buddy, where ever you are hang on were coming for ya* Ken thought to Ryu.

Ken and Chun Li were shooting pass the forest, they remained in the area Ryu was to fight Gill when the others had left. They knew Ryu might be in trouble after the fight, but it was only when the 2 had seen an explosion of Chi energy encinerate a good portion of the forest did they know something was wrong.

--------

Ryu had given up walking, his body slumped down on the dirt with a thud. He already felt his mind drifting away, it was then he knew he was going to die.

*Guys were ever you are Im going to truly miss you, I hope you never forget me. And Chun Li my beautiful spring, I hope you know I always love you* was his last thought before Ryu's eyes closed forever.
