This story draws ideas from anime and manga of all the series involved.
A mix of the Street Fighter arcade continuities will be used, but
mainly from the Alpha series and takes an alternate route from SFIII.
*sob* I still haven't played Sf3:3rd strike. And it has Chun Li and
Aka^H^H^H I mean Makoto...:P
This is part of my Life and Times crossover series. This is the fifth
chapter to the First Knight arc.
C & C welcomed.
Here it is, with my usual insane comments...:P (Feel free to ignroe or
scoff at them...:P)
First Knight 5: The Strongest Woman
"Stupid Old Ghoul," Ranma mumbled under his breath.
"Another hour," Genkai commanded, not even looking in Ranma's
direction as she read her book.
"What!? This training ranks up there with some of the stuff my
dad did," Ranma complained, but he did not stop the training. His
finger was seriously starting to go numb on him.
But there is no bit of cats, no weird cursed pools, or fiancee's waiting
to claim him. This is rather mundane training for Ranma in the end...:P
"Then your father did a good job. By balancing your entire body
on your single finger's emission of chi, you're being forced to focus.
Focus is something you lack."
Whee...Finally a fic that defends Genma. I may not be the biggest fan of
the Panda, but he has gotten abit of a bad rap in fanfiction lately...:P
*snip*
Ranma grinned confidently at the easy task before him. He was
going to feel great and forget the soreness of his arm when he wiped
that smug look off of her face. That thought alone was enough to make
him brim with enough confidence to level a mountain. "Moko Takabisha!"
Overkill...:P Like the scene though as it reinforces the problems behind
Ranma's move and his mind set right now. Nice classic martial art movie
scene here.
* * * * *
Chun Li panted and was forced to stop on the steps that lead up
to the temple. She wiped off the beads of sweat that had formed on her
brow as she tried to catch her breath. Leaning against a nearby tree
along the steps, she sank to the ground with her back to it. Her
headaches were getting worse lately. More memories had resurfaced with
them. Memories that made her retch as she could imagine the sickening
sounds of bones snapping on a dead man. She clutched her head in her
hands and tried dispelling the nightmares away with sheer force of
will. However, it was not enough to prepare her for the final image of
Vega's face looming over her, nor the feeling of his lips pressed
against hers or her ardent response to it. As quickly as the memory
reared itself at her, the images were replaces with a plain face that
was comically serious to her.
Ohh...I like this devlopment here...:P Chun Li infected with Pshyco powers
is a neat and evil fanfic idea.
One suggestion though is to mention the fact your using the Japanese
Street Fighter names in this story. Especially since you mentiond SF lapha
instead of Zero. Not everyone is clear on the story behidn the orginal
Japanese SF names after alll...
*Ryu*. He had been here!
The feel of him, the sense of knowing that he had been here was
like a beacon of light that cut through the fog of her thoughts, waking
her up from her nightmare. She didn't know how she could tell this,
but in her heart she knew that it was true. She shook her head and
once again felt the memories of her past start to drift away and she
gave no effort at trying to grasp at them. Slowly she got up and
looked up the stairs, towards the temple. The man named Ranma would
lead her to some answers. He _had to_ or she was afraid she might not
wake up the next time she blanked out.
Yup, definitly like this bit...A mysterious past just always works for any
story, and with Chun Li it just adds even more (it's like Chun Li witha
bit of Cammy in here..Or using the Shadow lady from Marvel versus
Capcom...:)
She watched with morbid fascination as the young, more athletic
looking boy was simply overpowered by the frail looking woman. The
woman stopped suddenly and turned towards her. The boy also relaxed
from his defensive stance to look in her direction, noticing her for
the first time.
Never undestimate the old midgets inR anma 1/2. They can kick your ass all
of the time...:P
"Hello, my name Is Chun Li. Is this the residence of one Saotome
Ranma? I want to have a match with him."
"I swear I'll punt the old lech the next time I see him," the boy
muttered to himself and then looked at her. "I'm Saotome Ranma."
But she's so cute....^O^
* * * * *
"We can reschedule this fight till tomorrow or later. I'm in no
hurry," Chun Li said as she looked at Ranma. She had been surprised to
find out that Ranma was so young, though it was not unheard of and she
had seen some just as young at this level. Ryu, Ken, Sakura, and
herself had all attained A class World Warrior level before they came
out of their teens. They did not however shoot past the other 4 levels
with just one fight against a level E opponent. She had expected to
find some grand master that had been around for awhile with some sort
of reputation and thus could be justified in starting with a higher
class. She had seen that done before, but not for so many levels so
quickly or for a virtually unknown boy that couldn't be more than
seventeen.
So where would Queen of hEarts Multi fit then? Group A, or would we just
crown her Queen of the Street Fighters? (Well Akari might have someting to
say about it since she's a shoto clone....:)
"It's necessary if he is to be ready for the Dark Tournament.
His strongest asset is his incredible ability to recover quickly. A
normal fighter must rest every once in a while because the body
improves and grows while at rest and not while training. Ranma's
ability to heal allows his body to be trained every single moment no
matter how much strain it undergoes. In battles he takes advantage of
this by often gaining a second wind or a third or a fourth. This asset
is a double edged sword."
"To improve one must be brought to the brink of exhaustion,
challenged, and through sheer force of will, overcome it. As
impressive as he has become at such a young age, I'm afraid it has as
much to do with his body's conditioning as it had to do with his own
will power. He has had an easier time than Yusuke who had undergone
times where he simply overtaxes his power and loses it. Reiki is not
something that can be regenerated quickly in the short period a battle
takes place. New and untapped power must be drawn out from within when
one is spent. That is what Ranma must be able to do if he is to
improve and increase his potential."
I like this two paragraphs as they bring a new view to Ranma's powers and
abailites, and a bleiveable one at that. And you explain it as a
bleiveable disadvantge for him as well...:P
Chun Li found herself on the defensive as she blocked and dodged
the hundreds of punches she found aimed at her. A technique similar to
Honda's, so she was not totally unprepared for it. It was faster, but
it did not have Honda's range. She leapt up into the air aiming a kick
high, knowing he could block or dodge such a telegraphed move, but it
gave her time to set herself in position for her own assault. As she
landed she steered Ranma with a few aimed kicks, not intending for them
to hit, but to move him into the right area for her next technique.
"Hyakuretsu Kyaku!"
I wonder if she wouldn't recognize the similarites between the Amguriken
and her kick attack instead of Honda's 100 hand slap....
Ranma felt the first of the hundred kicks hit him along his body
before the force of her attack pushed him back far enough for him to
block effectively. His knees nearly buckled as he fought to remain
upright. *Ten on my knee, twenty more along the rest of my leg, around
thirty along my chest, and several above my neck, and all in maybe two
seconds or less. Her foot speed is incredible.* Chun Li didn't waste
any time and while he was momentarily stopped, she flipped onto her
hands and pushed off the ground, immediately twisting her legs. The
spinning her legs sliced into his stomach and he was forced to retreat
back a few steps.
Well if we use the speed calculations she should reach Mach 2...:P (Sorry,
feeling bitter about the Usenet fight threads...:)
*snip*
* * * * *
*A terrifying ability,* Genkai thought as Ranma danced out of the
harm's way. Not only in helping him recover enough to win, but also in
affecting an opponent's mind. It was psychologically draining to fight
a person that never stayed down. One begins to doubt in one's ability
to win and it grows worse as the battle drags on and exhaustion starts
to wear away at one's control.
Intresting desciption, and I can see the logic behind it. Especially if
your opponent takes your best stuff and is still standing.
Chun Li however was not at all shabby, showing the power of a
class A fighter in the Street Fighter Tournament. Genkai couldn't help
but wonder if the Chinese woman had anything to do with a tribe of
amazons that she was acquainted with. The woman's style was very much
like them.
.....
Not sure what i think about relating chun Li with the Amazons. If handled
well it could be a nice device, but if handled wrong it could be horribly
cliched. but then you seem to be setting up a nice backstory so it should
work...:P
*snip*
Like this fight scene, BTW...
* * * * *
Genkai felt a sudden chill as she looked at Chun Li's glowing
body. Evil. She could almost taste it with how it emitted from the
girl. It was similar to the feeling she got when Ryu and Sakura let
loose the Raging Demon, yet different somehow. There was also
something strange with Ranma's own chi. Which was strange in itself,
since she had drained it all out of him with the needle exercise before
she sparred with him.
Ohh..foreshadowing...Cool ^^
* * * * *
Chun Li's eyes opened. She found herself lying on her back, with
the old woman, Genkai, and a younger woman she learned was named Yukina
tending after her. "I lost."
"Double knockout actually," Genkai said.
Yup, definitly an Alpha Chun Li..:P (She just has more to her than the
normal Sf2 Chun Li...:)
"Very interesting boy. I could see why Vega is interested in
him. That technique, he used. It was mine."
but whats his fighting level? ^^
Genkai chuckled, but her expression held no mirth. "Truly a bad
thing to be in the interest of _that_ monster. And yes, I think that
technique was similar to the one you used. I doubt even he knew what
he was using it before he actually did it."
Chun Li arched an eyebrow at Genkai letting slip that she knew
Vega, but let it slide. "If I were you, I would tell the boy to leave
this area when he gets the chance. When Vega learns of this battle, I
think his 'interest' may grow even more. He will also be the target of
every class A fighter in the world if his position is well known."
But Vega has all of these cute girls in his service like Juni and Juli,
which could be mistake as fiancees and cause oh so much havoc and...Oh
wait, yeah, he'd be better of running away...:P
"I would take care to be so obsessed with such a person."
"What would you know about my obsession. Vega is mine!" Chun Li
shot out angrily, before calming down. "I'm sorry, I lost myself for a
moment."
Nice paragraph, showing enough while hinting at things to come. I can't
wait to see what you've got int sote for her in this series...:P
Genkai was surprised that Chun Li's abilities were so advanced.
Or was it because of how close she and Ryu were? If it were true, she
did not know what the woman would take the news. "Goki."
Hmm..to start up the ou rominzation thread over Goki/Gouki..Nahh, too
pointless...:P
Chun Li blanched. "I see. Thank you. I-I have to get going,"
she stuttered.
Genkai shook her head at the cruelness of fate as Chun Li raced
out of the room. She cursed the names Vega and Goki silently at their
machinations.
Well what else can evil people do with their time beside machinations.
Play Yatzee? ^^
Vega looked at the screen's replay. "Again."
His butler rewound the taping of the battle for the fifth time.
"Stop. Center on the left half of the screen. Stop. Filter the
image. Enhance."
The butler nearly dropped the remote control, but fortunately,
Vega was not looking at him.
The screen showed the collision between a woman and a boy.
Superimposed with the image of the woman, was, whether it was an
illusion of the screen or not, Vega's unearthly visage.
A maniacal grin formed on Vega's face. "Continue with the other
screenings. The boy will move. Keep him followed. The woman... no
need to follow her anymore."
Oh yes, I really liked this scene, really...:P Shows how evil and nuts
Vega can be be..:P (And I also get your borrowing the one good plot line
for Sf2 V, the Evil Chun Li plot line...:)
*snip*
The End. (maybe)
It better be...Multi still has to be written in...^^ Stil, a nice and
enjyoable read. Cant wait for more.
Ja ne!!
