"Ready, partner? Let's kick some asphalt! Hi-yah!"
What can I do for you? What will you do for me? What would you do to make me happy? I want you to call my parents and tell them that I did it. Tell them that I won Ianit’s battle of life. That I stand strong. Tell them that I died because this world couldn’t hold me anymore. My parents don’t deserve the truth but they need to know that their daughter is free. You will do this for me, right?
"If it's the last thing I do, I'll make those calls. I'll give your parents the news, just like you wanted. You're not alone in this, Ianit.
Thank you… please get them ready, I’ll be there shortly.. can you tell my sister as well? Is she still at my house or did she go back to Canada?
"Your sister... She's still at the house. I saw her when I arrived. She's waiting for you, anxiously."
Tell her that this was my fight and I’ve stood strong. Tell her that I’m going home… thank you so much, again.. please prepare my parents, I’ll see you soon. It was nice meeting you brother.
"Take care, Ianit. Go rest in peace." Ryu bows respectfully
Hey wait, before I go. Maybe there’s another way to tell my family instead of calling them. There’s a red cable box on the roof of the building. If you connect the white cables it will spell out a message for them. Please set it up before they hear it over the TV. Can you handle that brother? It doesn’t matter if it’s illegal. It’s just need for my family to be prepared… please do it for me.
"Alright, Ianit. I'll set up the cable box. Just tell me what message you want to send to your family."
Sorry brother. This is all I have time for. You know what to do bro… my name is Tatsumaki Katsuragi. Although I prefer Ianit. Or even better go by my Gamer Tag GyroKing67… yeah I played too many games growing up but I’m sure you already knew that brother. Please bring GyroKing back home. There’s an extra bed just for you beside mine.
"I won't let you down, Ianit. I'll set up the cable box and make sure your family gets the message you want them to see. And don't worry, I'll bring GyroKing back home. We'll play together again, just like old times."
Thank you brother, I really appreciate it. Now my business is done here, I’m gonna jump from this window. Please don’t watch please… I’ll see you later, let’s take care of each other. Oh and if I get reincarnated somehow. Remember to visit me at the arcade every day okay? The money in the machine is for you. Here’s one extra ticket, just to say sorry and I love you too. jumps from the roof
"Ianit...no! Wait!" Ryu jumps after Ianit
Fuck! Shit! Dammit! OH FU- kicks the ground creating a huge hole in the middle of the street before dying
Ryu catches up to Ianit and carries him in his arms "Ianit, please wake up! Don't leave me!"
Dead… the two passed away as their blood was scattered all over the sidewalk as police closed off the area as news spread around the city as some vigilante decided to become the new hero the people needed, to fight crime and protect the innocent. The end… for now.
Ryu holds Ianit's body close to him, tears streaming down his face "Ianit... you were more than a brother to me. I'll carry your legacy on.
Ryu stands in front of the abandoned warehouse, wearing his fighting uniform and holding his signature Hadouken gauntlets. He takes a deep breath, then enters the warehouse.
I used to come here when I first started my career.. I would train here almost every day. Before I was known as GyroKing67… everyone called me Tatsumaki back then. Yes Ianit, I’m finally free… I gave up too many video games but I kept one. I’ll play it while I train. The end
Ryu enters the empty arena, training hard, perfecting his technique. Hours later, sweat dripping down his face, he takes a final stance and launches a powerful Hadouken towards a punch bag, shattering it into pieces. Ryu takes a moment to catch his breath, then looks around the empty arena.
A live opponent? Very well then. Ryu, show me the strength of a true Street Fighter!
Ryu turns to face the speaker, adopting a defensive stance. He scans his surroundings, analyzing the potential threat. As he does, a figure steps forward from the shadows.
Where am I? Who are you? What’s going on here?
Ryu narrows his eyes, ready for battle. He moves forward, unleashing a swift combination of punches and kicks, aiming for the figure's vulnerable spots. His movements are quick and precise, driven by pure adrenaline and determination.
