Saikyokugenryu:A Dan/Ryo adventure!
(This story takes partially after Dan's ending in SFA2,and is based on his text-ending of Capcom VS SNK2 as an inspired combination on how Dan could actually get a dojo of his own together.)
Chapter 1:A new sense of direction.
It was a fine summer day in the city of tokyo,in the area of shinjuku,several kids were playing and having fun in the park,and several adults were relaxing under thesun on the benches under the built-in sunroofs.
One adult however,was neither playing or relaxing,he was busy at work planning something for his place of business. He wore a pair of brown slacks,red shoes and a yellow vest,his dark brown hair was slick back into a single pony tail and he had a pair of rippling muscles to boot.
He was known as Dan Hibiki,one-time shotokan fighter now turned saikyo- master and owner of his very own dojo. Things looked pretty good at first for Dan,after he beat Sagat he then decided to enter and participate in actual martial arts tournaments.
He gave one contest a try in osaka,placed in the underground circuit. It was called the SHIN tournament,and it was run by some slimeball crimelord called Kensho"Tarantula" Takeshi.
Dan fought valiantly to get to the finals and went up against Tarantula's champion,some big musclebound slob in a black gi with a mohawk called the bloodgut! Dan got several bruises and lost some teeth,but he managed to fight back and pummeled the giant troglydyte into defeat.
Dan had won a big reward of prize money,but Tarantuala was extremely reluctant to pay it to Dan,since he didn't count on him for winning. The judges made him pay it anyway,and Dan was on his way to super-stardom.
.or so he thought at first.
He used the first half of his prize money to design and build a dojo of his own. It was a two-story building made of wood and rice paper with a nice garden courtyard on the side.
He managed to attract at least several students at first,but after showing him his effective yet unusual fighting style,some of them weren't so impressed and left on the first tour day. Those that were left were willing to give it a try.
Dan was determined to try to teach some young ones his art and strived in doing so. He had them wear some karate gi's of his own design and color. They wore them,but they weren't too impressed by the colors of dark green,light blue,yellow,purple,orange and of course pink which no one but him wore.
He taught them many of his moves,the punches,the kicks,the fireballs,some learned it but others were still quite unsatisfied by the style and shortness of the moves. But when Dan began teaching his taunting moves and taunt rolls,most of them left. Leaving Dan with only two students left.
Dan pleaded with the remaining teens,a boy and a girl to give his teachings on last chance. They agreed,but made him promise not to do any more taunt moves and showed them something really powerful and effective,as well as cool.
Dan had just the moves,his shadow dragon punch and his Burraki Ken move.
He began teaching the moves to his final students,but they all found it was getting late in the afternoon,and had to head home before their parents missed them. Dan was dissappointed but let them go,he asked them if they would return to his dojo after school,they said they would try,but they had other after-school activitiesto attend.
The next day after was much to Dan's dissapointment,the two youngsters didn't return,but he wasn't the least surprised. He then went to his study and practice room to reflect on what he did wrong. His moves were indeed powerful enough to topple a foe no matter how big or small,but they didn't seem good enough to make a living off of teaching others the style.
Dan thought about an ad campaign,but that would probably just lead to the same disaster as yesterday went. Dan then decided he needed to learn something new about fighter skills and about running a dojo.
Which brings us neatly back to our little opening with Dan in the park. He was eating a bento box lunch of rice and dumplings and scanning through both a phone book and newspaper for various martial arts masters and schools to learn some important pointers.
"There's gotta be someplace and someone around here I can get some experience on being a better master!"he thought. "But where?"
Suddenly,Dan heard someone shout something:"KOHO-KEN!"
"EH?"said Dan looking up from his newspaper.
There,he found a young man of his early twenties,with spiky brown hair,wearing a grey tank top with blue sweat pants and sneakers. He was doing a one-handed fireball attack on some empty soda bottles on a huge rock,knocking them off like in a target range.
Dan shot up from the bench with a surprised and flabbergasted look on his face.
"Wh-Whuuuh? What?"he stuttered trying to find the exact words. "What the hell is that guy doing?"
Dan then ran over to the man and grabbed him by the left shoulder.
"Hey-what?"said the man. "What do you think you're doing with that gadouken attack?"said an outraged Dan. "That's my signature move!"
"Your signature move?"said the man. "Man,I don't know what sake you been drinkin'or what you been smokin',but this move belong to someone else,and it ain't you!"
"I'll prove to you it is my move!"said Dan. "Watch!"
Dan then raised his right fist and charged up enough ki energy to into to release a fireball. Once he gathered enough energy he then shouted:"GADOUKEN!"and then flew the fireball from his hand. Unfortunately,it didn't go quite as far as the man's own projectile which stopped short just barely before reaching the bottles.
The man sweatdropped at the sight. "That's it?"he asked. "I'm workin'on it!"said Dan. "I'd just like to know who taught it to you exactly." "The great Ryo Sakazaki taught it to me pal!"said the man. "Maybe it's just a coincidence on your fireball,but his karate style is the best there is. And I even took a full class from him last month,it's the best fighting style on earth."
"Okay then."said Dan. "Where exactly do I find this.Ryo fellow?" The man reached into his back pocket and took out a white card. It was decorated in gold letters with the words:KYOKUGEN SCHOOL:RYO SAKAZAKI MASTER TEACHER!
Also on it was the actual adress and phone number. "Go ahead if you want to pal."said the man. "But I'm warning ya,he'd beat you in a shoot out with that flimsy fireball of yours!" The man then ran off from the park to go to a quiter place for practicing.
Dan grumbled:"Smart Ass. I'll show'im all." The japanese/chinese then gathered up his belongings and placed them into a green duffle bag and then left the park area to find the location of the kyokugen dojo.
"I know what I'll do!"he thought. "I'll go to this dojo,challenge this Sakazaki guy,and see if he'll teach me a few things on how to run a dojo. But I swear if he's ripping off my own moves somehow.I'll make him rue the day he ripped off the great art of Saikyo-Ryuu! On the grave of my father the great late Gou Hibiki,I Dan Hibiki swear it! I shall bring honor and glory to my school!"
Dan then took the nearest bus and headed for the same city he had been to before at the tournament he went too.OSAKA.
Little did Dan realize,he was about to head into more than he bargained for something sinister was occuring at the kyokugen dojo he was he was heading to.
