	A Fight
	Two men stood across from each other in a clearing.  One wearing 
jeans and a sleeveless red jacket, his long blonde hair was covered by a 
red hat with a metal plate covering the front of it.  The other man, 
short dark hair was only clad in a dogi that had it's sleeves torn off 
from the force of his blows.
	"You're Ryu right?" The Blonde haired man studied the other.  
Even at rest the man held himself in readiness for anything.  The mark 
of a true Martial Artist.
	"That's right," Ryu replied. "And you're Terry Bogart."  Ryu had 
been hearing many things about the Bogart brothers, Terry in particular. 
 He had heard how Terry had gone up against the god of war and fire, 
Mars.  Gone up against and won, although not without paying a terrible 
price.
	"I hear that you're pretty good," Bogart commented, it had been 
a while since he had a decent fight, not since the last King of Fighters 
tournament.   He had nothing left but the fight, having lost both of his 
loves in battle, he did not want to cheapen their losses by giving up.
	"I've heard the same about you."  With that the two fighters 
assumed their fighting stances.
****************************
	Ryu assumed a deep modified left back stance, to allow for quick 
movement.  His left hand before him, just below head level, his fist 
pointed so that his palm faced up level with the sky.  His right arm 
held against his side at chest level, drawn back ready to send out a 
blow, or to block one.  His breathing slowed to an calm, even measured 
breathes, to make the full use of his energy. 

	 Terry stance was a bit higher than Ryu's was, with more weight 
evenly displaced into his stance to allow for a more solid foundation.  
His right hand was out in an open hand gesture, the left in closed fist, 
just below his solar plexis, the underside of it facing up.  He readied 
himself for the assault to come.  While Bogart didn't doubt his skills 
and abilities, he just liked to get a gist of what he was up against.

*******************************
	 With unspoken consent, the battle began.

	"KIA!" Ryu dashed forward with an over hand smash, that caught 
Bogart off guard which caused him to stumble back.  He barely had time 
to block as Ryu gave a short quick kick low at his feet, and then up at 
Terry's chest.  It was a classic combination technique, what he didn't 
expect was the short, Sho Ryu Ken! That got past his defenses.  Sending 
Bogart flying backwards from the unexpected blow.
	Terry rolled in the air to land on his feet in a crouched 
position.  As soon as he got his balance he launched himself in the air, 
to avoid Ryu's next attack.  As soon as he had landed, Ryu was upon him. 
 
	A flurry of punches and kicks rained upon him, as Bogart blocked 
Ryu's attacks.  This time though he wasn't surprised when Ryu unleashed 
his Hurricane Kick.  Though he expected it, Terry couldn't block all of 
it, taking the last of it on the chin, knocking him down. 
	With a Ki-up, Terry was back on his feet.  This time he went on 
the offensive.  With a quick skip forward, he let loose with a back fist 
following up with an upper cut and then a low sweep kick.  Ryu had no 
trouble blocking the combination, but was caught with the �Crack-Shot!' 
that followed them.  Knocking Ryu back and away from his opponent.
	They did not attack right off of that short exchange of blows.  
It had not even been a full minute yet. The fighters watched each other 
for any signs that the attacks effected the other.  Both had amazing 
constitutions and quickly recovered from the blows they received.  It 
would take a lot more than that do take them down for the count.  Both 
of them had faced god-like creatures and triumphed, while both were 
unusual situations and if the need came up, they could probably do it 
again.  True it would take a lot out of them, so much that they would 
have to rest for weeks afterward.  There was no need to go to that level 
of extreme, for they were just two fighters testing their skills against 
a worthy opponent.
  
	With a nod, both Ryu and Terry decided to stop testing each 
other and really let loose.

	"Hado-Ken!" Ryu's Ki-blast rocketed toward Bogart, who struck 
the earth with his fist..

	 "Power Wave!" The two Ki attacks canceled each other out.  Both 
deriving their power from the fighter's Will and the energy that they 
gathered from the world around them.  Ryu's from the very essence of 
life that surrounded him.  From Terry, from the very Earth beneath his 
feet.
	Terry started to draw in power from the Earth to fuel his next 
attack.  His stance that of a solid half-horse riding stance, his arms 
tense and out to the side.  The Ki flowed from the ground of collect 
around him.
	"Hakkyokuseiken Final Attack!"  With that Terry threw his leg 
out in a round house kick and started spinning around in place.  Tornado 
like winds formed around him, and it advanced on Ryu.
	Knowing he couldn't block such an act met force with force.  
Waiting until Bogart came withing striking distance and was totally 
committed to his attack.  With that he wound up, gathering his Ki into 
his legs and let out with his Super-Hurricane Kick. 
	The two fast moving kicked impacted against each other, trice 
trying to over come the other before the force of their combined might. 
 Ryu and Terry were thrown high into the air, the both of them were so 
focused on their attacks that there was no way for them to absorb the 
force of the blows. 
	It took a second for them to recover after landing to the ground 
below, in such a fight a second is a very long time.
	Terry was the first to recover, charging forward he let loose 
with his next attack.
	"Burn Knuckle" Ki formed around his fist, as he dashed toward 
Ryu.

	Ryu braced himself and just when Bogart was close enough let 
loose with another Sho Ryu Ken, unfortunately he timed it wrong and 
received the full force of Terry's attack.  This time he did roll with 
it and standing across the clearing from Bogart and let loose with most 
powerful technique.
	"Moko-Hado-ken!"  The power formed around his hands as he threw 
them at Bogart, releasing a steady stream of Ki.
	Terry's eyes flashed red as he drew in as much power from the 
Earth as possible, and striking the ground with his fist.
	"Power Geyser!"  The Energy of the Earth erupted from the ground 
six feet in height!
	The two waves of power met in between them.
	"BOOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" 
	A huge explosion blanketed the whole clearing.
************************************

	Later that night, the two fighters sat around a fighter 
discussing their battles and sharing a bottle of Scotch. 
	"That's never happened before," *Hic* Ryu mumbled.  Terry 
watched amused as he got totally sauced. 
	"I know," Terry paused to down another drink. "It might had to 
do with different power sources..." He trailed off as he noticed that 
his drinking buddy had entered dreamland.   He sighed and stared into 
the fire, remembering memories that are best long forgotten.

		The End.
