A boy of Asian descent with messy black hair wearing
a baggy pair of black sweatpants and a red hooded
sweatshirt with black tennis shoes ran through the
twisting trees and plants of the amazon jungle,
grabbing branches and occasionally scuffling up a tree
like a monkey before leaping off and grabbing vines
for a Tarzan-esque swing.

Looking behind him he saw a
creature making up ground behind him. This creature
seemed to be wearing metal anklets with spikes, had a
shock of red hair on his chest and a pair of shorts,
as well as long red hair falling down his back. As he
ran he dug his hands into the ground and moved like
an ape although his apperance certainly told
otherwise of him.

"Geez...doesn't...he ever...get...tired..." The boy
panted looking behind him. With one final spin onto a
strong tree branch and a springing jump he landed into
a small pond of water, gasping for air, his hands on his
knees.

<Tired? Already? It was just getting fun.> The
creature said with what the boy could only assume was a
grin.

"H-hey...I haven't...spent my whole...life
here...like you." He said, still gasping for all the
air he could.

<Well you have gotten faster at least. And this
chase lasted a lot longer then the first time.>

The boy nodded having finally caught his breath.
"So...can we work on that electricity move for a
bit?"

Blanka nodded and walked out of the water with the
boy behind him.
<     Alright Adam. Remember focus. Thats
the important part. You have to feel it moving through
you and amplify it.     >

The boy, Adam, nodded sitting down cross legged
holding his hands in front of him.

'C'mon...all people
have electricity produced by their body...' He
thought.
'You need to focus on your own. Amplify...and
release...like Blanka-Sensei.' Adam's brow creased
with the straining focus as his hands glowed slightly,
a small amount of electric current passing between his
hands before he stopped sweating more.

"Wow...that
gets you tired." He said forgetting to speak like
blanka did and ended up talking in Japanese.
"Uhm...it's really tiring for me to do that." He
explained correcting his speech.

Blanka nodded still smiling like a child. After all,
this boy was the first person in a long time who didn't
scream and run away when seeing him. The first friend
Blanka had since that last person left, so he was
understandably happy to help him do stuff.

<   It gets easier over time   .> He said before curling
up and coursing with electricity scorching the ground
around him.

"Show off." He laughed.

<Well...lets try the other thing.> Blanka said
standing up.

"Ha. THAT I can do." he said and leaped up curling
his body as tightly as he could spinning foreward at a
violent rate...his attack however curled away from the
tree he aimed for and he fell to the ground on his
back gasping for air.

"..."
"I'm okay.." He gasped.
<     Keep trying. I'll go get us some food.      > Blanka
said smiling as he dashed off.
'Man....I've been here three months. Hard to
believe.' He thought sitting back up.
 

Flashback

Three months ago

Adam walked into his house. A large expensive looking
one done in European style.

"Well...dad isn't home. Big
surprise." He mumbled looking around.
"Probably on a buisness trip."

Adam's father worked for the Kanzuki Zaibatsu he was
in a high position one of the board members so he
wasn't home all that often. To make up for that he
often left his son money in his incredibly large bank
account.

"Well...might as well get to work on that report..."
He said getting up to a computer once he entered his
room.
"How boring...a report on a foreign contry. And
I get stuck on one I know nothing about. Brazil." He
sighed cracking his knuckles before typing away
finally coming to a site on Brazil.
"Hmmm...'stories and local folklore.'" He said reading a topic as he
clicked on it.
"What the...'man beast'?" He asked,
interested as he clicked again for that topic.
 
 

Half a month after that

Adam's interest in the 'man beast' became almost as
fanatic as Sakura's in Street fighters and Karin's in
beating Sakura. It was certainly annoying having them
for classmates.
'Although it's fun watching those two fight.' He thought.

Currently he was boarding a plane to Brazil. His
family was rich enough that he could afford doing it
and his father just wanted Adam to not hate him so he
let him go. He had a laptop strapped to his side. What
he was going to be doing his schoolwork on.

"Heh. If I can prove the man beast's existance I'll be famous." He
said to himself.
 

In Brazil

Adam groaned, walking through the Amazon jungle. "He's
supposed to live here...but theres so much jungle..."

To the side he heard a noise like a snapping twig.
"Aha!" He said turning around with a camera up to his
eye but gasped in shock at what he saw. A sleek black
panther was walking through the underbrush.

"Oh...crap...n-nice kitty..." He said nervously, stepping back.

With a growl it leaped at him. Before it could reach Adam, however, there was a blur as what could only have been a green ball collided with the panther knocking it into a tree. The animal got up angry at it's hunt
being interfered with. It now leaped at the interloper, just before it connected, Blanka
started glowing golden with what could only be described as electic current. It surged into the panther and
with a yelp it fell off of the green creature, Blanka, and ran off deciding Adam wasn't worth the trouble.

From then on Adam stayed around Blanka as long as he could. He eventually learned to speak to him in ways
other then gestures and started picking up how to fight like Blanka. Hence calling him 'Blanka sensei'
 

End Flashack

"Ha. Those were good times." He laughed, getting to
his feet. "Now if only I could get those moves working."
 

Suddenly a slightly noise brought Adam from his thoughts. Still rather fearful of the idea of another jungle cat making a nice meal from him he quickly rolled to the side moving up into a low crouch standing in a way similier to an ape as he looked around before standing up to his full height, just over six feet tall. "Geez...still jumpy." He mumbled but heard the noise again. "Not a panter or any-CRAP!" He suddenly yelled. "Poachers!"

With that thought in mind he quickly jumped up into a tree and started swinging around again from above looking for anyone out of the ordinary. One of the skills he learned from Blanka while in the jungle was hunting, even from the canopy of trees he was able to distinguish Blanka's footprints, deciding it a better course of action to locate his freind he quickly changed direction to follow them. 'Crapcrapcrap!' he kept thinking to himself.

Finally after nearly five minutes he noticed two other sets of prints. Neither one had he seen before. Quickly he jumped into a tree finding Blanka in front of...somone...wearing a..."Pink gi?" He asked himself...the man seemed familier...Blanka told him stories of a man wearing a pink gi once...but as he noticed somone else looking slightly shorter then himself with a hat and something in english stitched into it, wearing a blue gi his confusion over the other man was forgotten. "DAMN POACHERS!" He yelled leaping down for the attack on the other person...
