Fan Fiction ❯ Stolen Darkness Episode IV ❯ Ryu ( Chapter 4 )

Ryu

The beeping had finally come to an end; Ryu had defeated his twelfth opponent in the street fight on 43rd and 6th, he had one more man to go to win the prize. The rules were simple; who ever hit the floor lost the round, no killing and weapons what so ever or else one would be disqualified. His next opponent was his best friend Lon, before the fight, Lon had spoken of how he wouldn't try so hard on his friend Ryu, but he also wouldn't hold back. Above all, he would be fair.

"Hey bro…" Ryu smiled at Lon.

"Lets do this, don't hold back, remember…" Lon replied from Ryu's smirk.

"Never planned to cheat bro…lets just get this started…" he put up his fists, and Lon did the same, suddenly a huge breeze took over Lon, and his eyes flashed red. No one said anything of it.

"I'm going to kill you Ryu…"Lon smiled evilly at his old friend.

"Lon, you play around too much- "Ryu immediately ducked from a swift throw from Lon, "Whoa!" Ryu did a back flip twice, the landed in his stance.

"Arrgh!" Lon hollered, his eyes flashed red once more, "Lets go!"

Ryu and Lon exchanged swift blows as dust flew everywhere. They both blocked each other's blow, for blow, for blow. Ryu leaped back and missed a back kick by an inch as he landed on his heels. Trying to gain balance he landed. Lon stuck his chest thirty times like a gorilla and let out a eerie cry.

"Calm down man…" Ryu said calmly, he didn't take most situations seriously.

"I am not `man,' I am your master!" he ran towards Ryu and leaped at him, Ryu went left then right, twirled around and stuck him in the spine with the hell of his right foot. HE let his foot hover above the ground before he let it rest on the black ground. The surrounding men clapped and threw money at him. Lon's eyes lit red once more. And so did his anger. He got up from the ground and charged once more at Ryu.

"Oh brother…comes on…" Ryu jumped above Lon, barely missing his back. Lon came to a breaking halt at the edge of the so-called playing field.

"Stand still mortal!" Lon rammed for another attack.

"You're calling me a mortal? What are you?" He dived between his legs this time and made a narrow escape.

"You are making me angry…" Lon turned around and pulled out a gun, he aimed it at Ryu, and a smile crossed his face, "now you die" Lon pulled the trigger.

"That's a weapon, you cheater!" Ryu covered his face with his hands as the bullet crossed the air between its victim and starter. The bullet stopped. The world became dark, and everything froze.

"Do not tell me, you were going to block a bullet with your hands?" a voice called from in front on Ryu. A black blur appeared from the bullets spot, and it walked towards Ryu. Ryu put his hands down slowly and looked at the figure.

"Who are you?" asked Ryu nervously.

"Questions will be answered later, now, I want you to Free Your Mind…"

Ryu closed his eyes, the alley way disappeared in darkness, as a cloud of black surrounded the two of them and took them away from the alleyway. When everything went back to normal, Lon's eyes flashed red then went back to hazel. The grounds shook, and a voice said, die. So they did…
