Ranma Vs the world.
	Ch.2
	Ryoga's conflict. "I can't fight a girl!"

	Ryoga stood in the center of the concrete ring in Tokyo with a frustrated
look on his face. He had beaten his opponent easily and was annoyed to no end.
He casually walked over to his companion who was standing outside the fence
that separated the crowd from the ring, he had a smug grin on his face. "I was
hoping to let off some steam. Traveling with Ranma is a pain in the ass." he
grumbled. He and Ranma had been in Tokyo for about three days now and were
beginning to think that they might never find Ryu. No one had any information
concerning him in the area.
	"Ryoga did ya hafta do that? I mean look at the poor guy." said Ranma looking
at the unfortunate man crumpled on the floor.
	"You shut up! I'd like to see you do better!" growled Ryoga.
	"I understand you two are looking for Ryu." said a small man from behind
them. 
	"Yea, what of it?" said Ranma.
	"I know someone who may be able to help. You'll have to beat em to get any
info though." said the man. 
	"Hmph I can take anyone you can throw at me." said Ryoga with a smirk.
	Ranma chuckled and sat down. "Where is this guy anyway?" he asked the man.
	"She's climbing in the ring now." was the mans reply.
	Ryoga turned and stared at the young woman who stood before him. She was
about twenty years old and dressed in a light blue Karate gi. She had a long
white ribbon tied to her head. "Hi." she said with a smirk.
	"I can't fight a girl!" cried Ryoga. "Ranma go change and get in here!" he
said clutching the fence in desperation.
	Ranma sneered at him. "Good luck P-chan." he said and took a seat near the
ring.
	Ryoga turned and stared at the girl helplessly. She smiled and kicked him in
the face. Ryoga looked at her. "I-I can' do this, your a girl..." he said to
her.
	The girl stared at him for a moment. "What do you mean?" she said angrily.
	"I can't fight girls, It isn't right." he said timidly.
	The angry young woman punched him in the face hard. "How dare you, come here
of all places with that attitude you wimp." she spat at him.
	Ryoga looked at her sadly. "What am I gonna do?!" he thought desperately. The
girl was having problems of her own. This guy had just taken two of her
hardest blows and he didn't even seem to notice.
	"Tough guy huh? Eat this Hadoken!" she cried and performed a rough Hadoken
that took Ryoga dead in the chest. He stared at her in disbelief from the
ground at the base of the fence. "Huh?"
	In the crowd Ranma stood and stared at her. "That was..." he stuttered 
	Ryoga stood shakily and saw the girl charging at him angrily. "Sho oken!" she
screamed. Ryoga tried to jump out of the way and as a result took the blow in
exactly the wrong place. The girl landed and the glow around her hand died
down. Ryoga heard her walk up to him as he lay on the ground clutching himself
in pain. "How dare you enter my arena with that attitude pig." she said and
turned away from him.
	The gears in Ryoga's simple mind began to turn and he stood shakily. He had
felt something strange during the fight when she had performed the Hadoken.
Then something registered in his head. 
	Sakura was walking away with a disgusted look on her face. She had been
expecting a real match, like the ones she had when she was in high school,
instead she got this wimp. She felt something dangerous and familiar behind
her. She turned and her eyes went wide as Ryoga stood shakily to his feet.
"What did you call me?" he said angrily and stared at her.
	"Pig." she said involuntarily.
	"I'll show you a pig! HADO SHI SHI HOUKOU DAN!" he cried and released the chi
he had gathered from the air around him towards her. She felt the energy slam
into her and slammed against the fence. 
	"Damn!" she cried  and rolled as she hit the ground. 
	Ryoga dove for her and touched the floor. "Bakusai Tenketsu!" he said and
Sakura felt it explode around her and pelt her with rubble. She stood and
faced him. 
	"Hadoken!" she cried and fired her blast at him.
	"Hado Shi shi houkou dan!" replied Ryoga and sent a blast back at her that
stopped her Hadoken. 
	She growled and lept at him "Shun pu kayaku!" she cried and spun into her
hurricane kick variation and knocked Ryoga flat on his back. Ryoga rolled
instinctively and grabbed one of his bandanna�s. He spun them and threw them
towards Sakura as his roll stopped. She had not yet recovered from her Shin pu
kayaku and took it in the back of the head. She slammed into the ground hard.
The fight was over.
	"Ryoga regained his senses and stood looking at Sakura in horror. "W-what
have I done?!" he cried and fell to his knees beside her.
	A few moments went by and She opened her eyes as the fight medics swarmed
her. "That was a good fight. I thank you." she said with a smile. Ryoga didn't
know what to say as she was carted off to the infirmary nearby. He just
nodded.
	"Ryoga c'mon the guy said she had information on how to find Ryu, we have to
go after her." said Ranma as he appeared beside him and dragged him off.
	"So you want to know how to find Ryu?" said Sakura as she lay in the cot with
an IV sticking out of her arm. 
	"Yea can you tell us?" said Ranma.
	"He won't teach you." said Sakura. "I spent two years of my life chasing him,
I know." she said sadly.
	"We have to try. I have to learn the Shoryuken." said Ranma with a determined
gaze.
	"That technique? I spent two years after him and my Sho oken is as close as I
got." she said with a laugh. "You two should give up and go home to your
families." 
	"Just tell us where he is." said Ranma.
	"I've already learned the secret behind his techniques, I'll learn it in no
time." said Ryoga with a glare.
	"What? I'll learn to do that in a few days." growled Ranma.
	"Not if I don't show you." smirked Ryoga.
	"No fair Ryoga!" cried Ranma.
	"Fools, learning to pull the chi from the air is not even half of the secret
of that technique." said Sakura with a bitter smile. "If you really want to
know he probably went to Hong Kong." she said and got the reaction she wanted
from Ryoga, Ranma however was a different story.
	"Hong Kong?! Damn we'll never find him now." he said angrily.
	"Why not?" said Ranma earning glares from both Sakura and Ryoga. 
	"How the hell are we supposed to get there Ranma?!" yelled Ryoga angrily.
"Have you forgotten that there is an ocean between us and there?" he spat.
	"We fly. Ryoga do you even know how much money we've made since we started?
We can afford first class tickets if we wanted them." said Ranma calmly.
	"Wha?...We can?" said Ryoga with wide eyes.
	Ranma nodded and the pair walked out of the building bickering all the way to
the airport.
	"What strange people." commented Sakura as she watched them walk away. "He'll
never teach them though..."

	Ranma and Ryoga stood in line to get their tickets and watched several people
go in and out of a nearby doorway. Ranma of course recognized what it was
immediately. He tapped Ryoga on the shoulder. "What?" said Ryoga looking
annoyed.
	 "Hey check it out P-chan." said Ranma.
	Ryoga looked and snorted. "We just came from one Ranma." he said looking
annoyed even more.
	"Yea well our flight doesn't leave for a few hours so I'm gonna go check it
out." said Ranma.
	"So, go." said Ryoga.
	"You are coming with me. I don't want to spend all night looking all over
Tokyo for you, c'mon." said Ranma as the young woman gave them their tickets.
	"Whats that supposed to mean?!" yelled Ryoga defensively.
	"Employees only." said a large man that stepped between them and the door.
Ranma shoved a bill in his hand and he moved out of the way. 
	"Geez get over it c'mon." he said dragging Ryoga behind him.
	"No dammit what did you mean?!" he cried angrily.

	Ranma stood and stared at the ring before him. It was amazing, How they had
managed to hide this in an airport he didn't know, but here it was. It had a
professional ring and everything. A large crowd gathered around it and cheered
for the two fighters inside. Ranma walked over to the counter and smiled at
the man. "Hey, I want to book a fight as soon as possible, I gotta flight in a
few hours and all." he said to the man.
	A sparkle of recognition hit the man's eyes and he smiled. "Ah Mr. Saotome I
have just the man, we were in need of an opponent." he said.
	"You've heard of him?" asked Ryoga dumbfounded.
	"And you as well. You'll find word travels quickly in this business. I heard
about your defeat of the young Sakura moments after it occurred." said the man
smiling at Ryoga warmly.
	Ryoga growled and blushed, he was still unhappy about beating her.
	"I suggest you get to the ring sir. Your fight starts in a few minutes."
continued the man and pointed towards the ring.
	
	Ranma stood facing the tall twenty something man before him and frowned. "I
know you." he said dumbly.
	"I am called Guy, and it shames to say that my exploits are eternally well
documented by the media due to my friends." said the man who faced Ranma with
a frown.
	"Yea, your the guy who fought that Gang a while back." said Ranma as he got
into a ready position.
	"Fight!" cried the man from the ringside.

	Guy rushed Ranma and lept into the air with a downward crescent kick. It was
obvious he was trying to finish up early.
Ranma snorted and jumped up with him catching his leg and bring him down on
the ground hard. "Air attacks are my schools specialty." he though to himself.
	Guy rushed and punched at Ranma repeatedly in a fury. Ranma blocked
desperately and could not find an opening in the mans defense. "This guy is
better than Konatsu." he grumbled as he was caught by an uppercut. "Your
fast." he said to Guy as he dodged the next few punches. "But not fast enough.
Katsutenshin Amaguriken!"
	Guy felt an unbelievable amount of blows strike his body and was thrown
against the ropes. "Damn." he thought as he almost blacked out. Ranma lept at
him and yelled as he fell for the final blow. "Perfect." thought Guy. "Bushin
hassou ken!" he cried as he lept up at Ranma.
	Ranma could not stop it. Guy repeatedly punched and kicked him higher and
higher into the air and then performed a crescent kick at the peak that
slammed him into the ground.
	"Ranma!" yelled Ryoga from the ringside. "If you lose any more of our money
I'll kill you." he cried.
	Ranma stood and faced the ninja again only to see that he was already
attacking. Ranma recognized it immediately. It was a variation on the attack
Ryu had used on him. The hurricane kick. Ranma fell to the floor again and
rolled under the attack. He stood and back kicked Guy in the back of the head
sending him sprawling to the floor out cold.
	"Damn you Ranma! How dare you hit him from behind! Coward!" yelled Ryoga.
	"Aren't you ever satisfied?! I won didn't I?" said Ranma as the two collected
their earnings and walked out to their flight.

Next time Hong Kong Part 1. The bird and the assassin.
C&C welcome Send to Catbert25@aol.com.

	I notice that allot of writers like to skip characters in these types of fics
and only mention the out come in passing, I will not do this. By no means am I
going to try to fit every body in this fic. That would take forever and I have
other projects to write. However a good bulk of them will appear from various
games in the Sf world. [Notice I don't say SF2 just SF you should know why if
you read this.] Most of the characters in Street fighter alpha would be a
little older now, of course, as this takes place around the time of SF2. Thats
about five years after SFA 1. I think. At any rate I know about how easily
Ranma should take care of some of these guys going all out, but face it he
isn't Folks. Ranma would not go all out unless he or someone he cared about
was in real trouble; i.e. Akane. Also Allot of the Street Fighter crew don't
get the credit they should. They can go up against Ryu and hold their own.
Ranma couldn't even after all he went through, he got his ass kicked, even if
he was holding back a little. Many of the moves in SF are just as almost as
powerful as the Shoryuken is. The dragon punch is still the most powerful move
in its greatest form, [Shin shoryu ken SF3] even if they weakened it a bit for
SF V and some of the more recent games.
Until next time Ja ne!
