The Street Fighter Zillion Ch. 1
By Yusuke

Around the northern part of North America. Ryu travels on to look for worthy opponents in Canada. He found a few fights, but non of his opponents seem to stand a chance against his strength. Awhile on that noon, Ryu finds himself in a quiet place in the forest. His next stop will concentrate on his training skills. Ryu learns alot of new moves and combos after his encounter against Gill's more powerful self on a rematch of the SF3 competition. "Somehow, I'm getting close to search for the meaning of the fight." , Ryu thought to himself. He begins his training now.

"You sure Ryu will come back after wandering in Canada?" The voice comes from inside the Master's estate. "I'm sure he will, Sean" ,Ken said. "I can sense his power absorbing. He seems to have gotten more powerful since we last fought."

Sean stands off the couch and look at the sky. He has finally accomplish his trademark abilities. But the real test comes within him. Will he be able to become a master? His last encounter against Ryu at the Semi finals of the tournment cost him a sore eye from the might of Ryu's Shin Shoryuken. He'll never forget the fight against Ryu and he demand another try to challenge Ryu soon. "Master, today is the celebration of your 5th US champion title regain." said Sean. Before Ken nods, he put a small hidden stress. The US titles are getting alot bored for him and he wants to seek World titles challenging the World's toughest opponents like Ryu did with the Street Fighter tournament. "Yes, of course. We'll have some invitional letters giving to many friends from the Street Fighter tournament. I'm almost giving one to Allen Snider too." said Ken.

Back in Canada. Ryu sense a familiar ki coming from around the forest. He check around to see if someone follow him or trying to ambush him. Suddenly an old enemy has come within 16 feet over Ryu on top of the trees. He drop off the tree and land the ground with a quaking stomp.

"Ryu, I come to spar you." the voice was Akuma.

"no daimyo.." Ryu said sarcatiscally in japanese.

"Well, I decline my fight with you in the 3rd street fighter tournament after I got disqualfied from my match against Ken in the Semis/" (Ed's note: He's cheap and that's the bottomline....always get disqualfy from sensing a stronger ki) Ryu smirks and he didn't know that Akuma is 1 step ahead from him after he defeated Gill. "The Street Fighter tournaments have nothing to do with me being the strongest. I'm already claim as the strongest inside my heart and Gouken's." said Ryu. "Yes, I know, I know. Blah blah blah. You see, I had this funny true about Gill's ki. It's nothing but his foolish pride. His power is mostly the Power of the 2 elements. Cold and ...heat. Nothing that stands a chance against your power ..the power of the Storm of the Dragon." said Akuma. Ryu grins the quote "THe power of the Storm of the Dragon" of course. He always channels electric from his Shin Shoryuken. "Ahem.. yours....." Ryu keeps his angry mood inside him while he continue chatting, "The power..." Akuma rise on eye brow while he hears what Ryu saying "of the Raging Demon. The evil force of death and dark ambitions" Ryu finished. "Bravo! Bravo! Ryu, you still know what my true power is and I still know yours. Come...lets spar without using our true power..." Akuma demanded.

Ryu and Akuma dashes. Then finally both fighters taking rapid fire punches and kickes. They continue the chain at each other until they decide to dash to another area where the natural will feel more comfortable of their fate.

One at the Waterfall, the raindeer watches. Akuma taking a hadouken and strikes at Ryu's ribs. Ryu feels the pain cracking his ribs. He remember Gill's powerful ice kick made his ribs felt like a stone is thrown. The fight continues as Ryu execute the shoryuken striking at Akuma's jawbone. THe jawbone damage from Akuma had been noticed on his encounter against Oro's rising attack. Lots of effects and loud raw quake keep these fighters from battling for hours and hours at the forest.

"That's more than enough for tonight, Ryu. It's a draw game," said Akuma. "One more time!" Ryu shout. "Wha....hahhahahahahhh!!! This is a sparring training. I forgot to explain. Heh. Well, we'll mean again ,but, this time we'll use our powers," said Akuma. "Sounds anonymous. To where we'll meet?" Ryu questioned. "At the meadows in Central California, near the land of the golden mountain," Akuma answered.(Eds note:San Franisco) Akuma disappear and Ryu said a small "Hmph".
