Chapter VII: Beyond The Edge
Gouki winced as he took stance, suddenly feeling a sharp pain in his side. Bt then again, his whole body was enveloped in agony, smothered in torment.
?Hehehe?still standing eh? That?ll change in mere moments.? Go Hibiki said as he chuckled to himself. Gouki said nothing as he focused in on his opponent, his eyes fierce and determined.
?HAH??? Go rushed forward, running a top speed then rocketing forward with his knee in front of him. Gouki absorbed the blow to the stomach but while that happened he attacked with a right cross that connected perfectly to Go?s head, knocking him out of the air and to the ground. Gouki limped away as Go began to stand back up.
A cut was above Go?s right eye, the blood flowing in tiny rivers down his face.
?You drew blood from me?you?re gonna pay?.? Go said through grit teeth.
?ENOUGH!? Gouki shouted as he charged forward, narrowly missing a roundhouse from Go, and swatting away a punch. Gouki sprang 5 feet into the air and performed a spinning roundhouse, hitting Go so hard it knocked him off his feet and spun him twice before he smacked the ground.
Gouki landed on his feet, breathing hard. He didn?t know how many more attacks would work like that. He didn?t know how long he could last against the endurance of Go Hibiki.
Suddenly an uppercut drove itself deep into Gouki?s stomach. Go had recovered. Gouki clutched his stomach and vomited a cup of blood, crashing to the grey tiles. He returned to his feet, only to meet an elbow smashing into his face. Gouki stumbled, and Go grabbed him by his hair and drove Gouki?s head into his knee. Gouki fell, but refused to give Go the satisfaction of a cry of pain.
?Hehehe?.? Go snickered as he opened his closed hand, and a few strands of Gouki?s hair wafted to the ground. Gouki watched the hair fall from the ground, his eyes wide as he tried to block out the immense pain.
?argh?stay down brother?.stay down??? Gouken muttered from the sidelines, sweat beading on his brow.
Gouki began to slowly get up, struggling.
WHAM!
An elbow smashed into the side of Gouki?s head, it knocked him off his feet and sent him skidding across the tournament grounds. Gouki refused to say anything as he slowly got back up.
?Why aren?t you screaming or something? HOLLER!? Go shouted as he viciously kicked Gouki across the head, spiking him back to the ground. Gouki still did not utter a word.
?SCREAM!? A knee drove itself into Gouki?s chest, and Gouki toppled to the ground once again his mouth wide open, but making no sound.
?What?re gonna do?? Go taunted, standing over the fallen Gouki.
Gouki suddenly leapt up and cocked his fist back, finally a punch exploded like a cannon…aiming straight for Go.
A hollow sound resulted, like a fly ball being caught in old catcher?s mitt. Go Hibiki?s wrapped hand stood enclosed around Gouki?s fist, a snicker forever painted on the Thai fighter?s face.
?Was that it??
That was?everything I had left?. Gouki thought, and Go could see it in his eyes.
?PATHETIC!? Go shouted as he drove his fist into Gouki?s stomach, an uppercut that pushed upward yet forward. Gouki heard a muffled CRACK as suddenly a wave of pain swept over him. A broken rib. Gouki?s eyes were wide and his mouth gaping as he stared at Go, his eyes laughing at him, his teeth pulled back in a snarl.
?ARGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHH???
Gouki screamed at the top of his lungs, clutching his chest. A primitive howl of indescribable pain, and Gouken could do nothing.
?No?..no?..Go Hibiki?..I?m gonna?.? Gouken said to himself, his fists getting tighter, and his entire body tense.
Gouki fell to one knee, utterly exhausted. There was nothing more he could do?.Go was too much for him.
?Give up?? Go Hibiki asked.
Gouki nodded solemnly, staring at the ground.
?YOU LOSE!!? With that, Go kicked Gouki so hard the poor young fighter was knocked 5 feet into the air and 10 feet away, finally landing?..
Outside the ring.
?RING OUT! The winner is?.GO HIBKI???
Gouki gasped for breath as he began to choke on his own blood. He laid on the grass, staining the green around him a deep magenta. The sunlight poured into his eyes, and he could not even move.
?Gouki!?
A small distant voice called to him.
?Gouki!!!?
Suddenly several figures were upon him, they were blurs that blocked the sunlight. Gouki felt his body lift into the air as they picked him up and carried him off. Minutes later he realized that it was Afaik and Goutetsu, with Gouken right beside them.
?You?re going to be ok brother…you?ll be fine.? Gouken said slowly. Gouki struggled to speak, but only choked on more bodily fluids.
?Gouken, you have your match next?go.?
?But master-?
?Go. Your brother will be alright, we shall see to that.?
Gouken reluctantly turned around, to find Go Hibiki staring at him a couple feet away.
?Are you ready to join your brother in a hospital bed??
???..? Gouken?s rage began to boil as he stared at the ground, fists clenched so tightly they were bleeding.
?Silence?just like him. Well, I?ll see you the ring. Unless you chicken out, which I would advise.?
++++++++++++++++++
?ALLLLLRIGHT! The finals for the junior division are about to take place!! First, let?s introduce our finalists! ?
The announcer?s voice boomed as the crowd clapped. It had to be double the audience of the earlier matches; everyone was anticipating the finals match.
?In our first corner?..the returning champion?..GO HIBIKI???
The crowd went berserk as Go set foot on the fighting grounds, acknowledging the crowd by punching and kicking the air as flashbulbs blinked to life around him.
?And in the next corner?a newcomer to the tournament?Gouken!? The crowd lazily clapped as Gouken stepped up. A hard look was chiseled into his features and eyes. His brow caged his fierce pupils as he stared at Go Hibiki saying nothing.
They met in the middle of the stone floor, the thick gray tiles like an ocean surrounding them?.keeping them away from the outside world.
?Why the hard look?..Gouken is it? Are you mad because your brother got beaten? Hehe?he never stood a chance anyways. And you?re next.?
DING!
The bell quickly sounded and Go went right to work, rushing in with a spinning elbow. The attack exploded into Gouken?s chest, but Gouken quickly reacted with a right hook that made Go Hibiki stagger backwards.
?Ow?.? Go said a couple feet away from Gouken as he felt his cheek. Gouken ignored him and rushed in with a quick hop and a downward punch. Go swatted the attack away, but it was just a diversion. He never noticed the leg tucked back that suddenly fired a front kick, connecting perfectly with Go?s chin, knocking his head back and his body following until the Thai fighter smacked the ground.
Go quickly bounced back up and pounced upon Gouken, a wild barrage of punches, elbows and knees came out of nowhere and so fast the attacks were blurs. Gouken deflected them all, a stoic expression glued to his face.
Suddenly he caught an elbow to the throat; then in the moment of a broken guard the tide of the match changed. Go attacked faster, the attacks connecting now. Gouken was slammed with 20 attacks in 10 seconds. Go finished off with a roundhouse that would have snapped the neck of a body less durable than Gouken?s, making the boy?s form spin a full 2 times before he crashed to the ground face first.
?HAH!? Go shouted as he slowly put his foot back into stance. A proud grin was plastered on his face as Gouken slowly got up.
Go rushed forward, attempting to kick Gouken while he was down but Gouken caught wind of his intentions and sprang backwards narrowly missing the kick. Gouken reared his fist back, caught himself and then plunged forward punching Go twice in the face, 3 times in the chest, and finishing with a axe kick that sounded like a thunderclap when it connected. In a blink of an eye Go was down again, drops of his blood making a trail on the tile from his face.
?ARGH!? Go shouted as he sprang back up with an uppercut that plunged deep into Gouken?s stomach, making the boy?s eyes widen with pain. Gouken kicked Go?s fist away and sprang backwards, his breathing heavy.
I must win??.. Gouken thought to himself.
Both young fighters stood 10 feet away from each other, bloody and giving as good as they got.
++++++++++++++++++
Gouki?s vision began to fail him, he was staring to black out. The world slowly became more distant and detached as the seconds passed. Afaik held the boy in her arms as she and Goutetsu ran deeper into a forest, the sunlight pouring through the trees a hazy flicker.
?Here is a good spot.? Goutetsu?s voice sounded like it was enclosed in feet of cotton to Gouki as he felt himself being laid on the grass.
?You?ll be okay Gouki?just relax.? Afaik knelt above him, positioning her hands just inches above Gouki?s body.
Suddenly, Gouki began to feel very warm?a warmth that was quite foreign but non-threatening. It began to sweep over his entire body, and Gouki felt very peaceful enveloped deep inside of it. It reminded him of his mother, a mother he had never met.
And suddenly, it was over just seconds after it began.
?Rise my boy, you are rejuvenated.? Goutetsu pronounced as Gouki sat up.
?Wha??? Gouki starred down at himself in utter confusion. His uniform was still in tatters, but his form was completely healed, there was not even a trace of cuts or bruises. Dirt and dried blood still clung to him, but otherwise it was like he had never even fought Go Hibiki.
?But how?..?? Gouki mumbled in amazement.
?Well young Gouki?not all uses for ki are strictly attacks used in battle. One can make ki almost whatever they want it to, with enough practice.? Afaik said with a bright smile as she stared down at Gouki.
?You?healed me??
?Why yes?! What, you thought Goutetsu did it? Bah, he doesn?t have a bit of talent for healing!? Afaik said, finishing with a hearty laugh.
?Afaik please?.not in front of my students?..? Goutetsu mumbled to his wife under his breath as she laughed even harder.
++++++++++++++++++
10 minutes had passed since the beginning of the match, and the fight was trapped in a deadlock. Neither side had gained an advantage, the momentum of the battle bounced back and forth at every exchange of blows. The crowd watched, fixed on the two fighters as they sprang backwards from each other after another furious meeting.
Go and Gouken?s heavy breathing were in tempo with each other, a rhythm of quick gasps and exhalations.
?It seems that we are evenly matched, Gouken.? Go Hibiki said, mischievously staring at Gouken.
Gouken said nothing in response, only nodded.
?But that will change soon.?
?Will it? I cannot defeat you, and you cannot defeat me. We are of equal strength levels Gouken. Face it.?
Go?s voice carried a hint of ulterior motive as he tried to sound pleasant and re-assuring.
?Might as well give it up right??
?No. I will beat you.?
Go frowned at Gouken?s response and then rushed forward with his fist extended in front of him. Gouken ducked low to avoid Go?s punch, and Go leaned forward further?overextending himself.
Gouken quickly grabbed his opponent and tossed him into the air, a perfectly timed ?over the shoulder? throw. Go was tossed 10 feet away, however he pivoted on the ball of his left foot and shot forward, catching Gouken in the chin with a elbow?knocking him into the air as Gouken had just done earlier to Go.
Gouken did a quick back flip in mid air and landed on his feet, wiping away a trickle of blood from the corner of his mouth.
?Gouken?I may not be able to overpower you?but I can certainly outlast you.? Go hissed, in between gulping down precious oxygen.
?I?m going to win Gouken?you can?t keep up with me forever.?
?I will try.? Gouken retorted.
?You will try huh? Like how your brother tried?! HAHA! Look at him, I bet he?s in a coma as we speak.?
Gouken?s eyes widened as the anger he thought he had locked away suddenly stepped forth.
?And that will happen to you soon enough. Or you could end this now, just give up and I win the championship once again?and you go back to your back-woods home with your parents the same way you came?.as nothing. Oh wait I forgot?both of your parents are dead. I like to know a little background about who I beat up.? Go said the last line flatly, ending with an evil grin that made Gouken boil with rage.
?Oh…did I hit a soft spot?! Hehehe?.? Go taunted.
?I might have, but I know you?re going to do nothing about it.?
Gouken began to grit his teeth as he balled his hands once again into tight fists.
?Come on, let?s finish this.? Go stated flatly as he began to slowly step forward, his stride calm and in-control. As Go inched closer and closing to Gouken, things began to change.
Suddenly, in front of Gouken?s eyes Go Hibiki transformed into General Fujima, the man that killed Gouken?s father and shattered he and his brother?s lives. The area around him faded into the backyard of his house, where he once lived. Gouken?s house of childhood was just a quick dash away, with the window facing him shattered. The sky was black, an eerie black?almost too black to be natural night, the darkness swallowing up everything.
?Hehehe?.? The voice was Fujima?s as the uniformed figure inched closer. Gouken felt the grass of his home beneath his feet, he looked down.
And starred at the bodies of his father and brother.
They lay a couple feet in front of him, on the ground in unnatural positions. They were covered in dried blood, and partly decayed. Their bodies so thin the bones were clearly outlined, their skin withered and yellow. Their forms looked as if they had been sitting out for at least a week, their eyes still wide open?staring at nothing yet watching everything.
?Gouken??? Fujima?s voice whispered, but it sounded like it was from far away yet right at Gouken?s ear?certainly detached from the body. Gouken starred at the world around him in horror and shock.
?You?re next Gouken?..? The voice whispered.
?NO!? Gouken screamed, as he began to back away.
?Gouken?..?
A weak, familiar voice from below beckoned to him. Gouken looked down, to find his brother and father slowly rising. They moved rigid and awkward, as if controlled by invisible puppet strings. Their decayed faces did not move, but the voice rose from inside the bodies.
?Why couldn?t you save me Gouken?.why couldn?t you stop Fujima Gouken?.?
Gouken?s father whispered, his voice dry and flat.
?I tried?I tried so hard Dad?but I couldn?t?I just??
?Why couldn?t you keep me alive Gouken?.all your fault?all your fault??
?No??? Gouken?s voice withered and died and Gouki began to speak.
?You were supposed to protect me Gouken?.I?m your little brother?.you were supposed to protect me?..?
?Gouki?.I?m sorry?I couldn?t do anything. I?m so sorry?..? Tears began to well in Gouken?s eyes as he trailed off. The bodies of his father and brother slowly dragged their decaying legs towards him, their yellow eyes fixed upon Gouken.
?Sorry won?t help us now?sorry won?t bring us back?? The voices said in unison.
?There?s nothing more I can do?..?
?Except DIE!? Gouken looked up to find Fujima itching closer, his eyes locked on Gouken as he lips were pulled back in a vicious snarl. He walked closer, as Gouken?s rage began to show itself.
?My brother?my father?..no?.No?..NO?..NO!?
Gouken screamed at the top of his lungs as he rushed forward, the world around him shattering and falling away like a window after being smashed by a stray baseball.
Gouken ran forward at top speed, then buried his fist into his opponent?s stomach. Go Hibiki?s eyes widened as his upper torso lurched forward. Go felt something well up in his throat, so he coughed. The cough quickly turned to a sick vomit as a cup of blood shot from his open mouth, spilling over Gouken. Gouken did not react, only roundhoused Go hard enough to make the Thai fighter spin a full 4 times before he smacked the ground, knocking out a couple teeth.
??..wheeze???.?
Gouken stood hunched over, his eyes sunken and distant and his lips pulled back, exposing his teeth. Blood red steam licked off of his body and those that could feel another person?s spirit could feel Gouken?s swell with energy. Go Hibiki stared at his opponent in horror.
?What?.are you?!?
?YAHHHHHHHHHH??? Gouken shot forward again, this time Go attempted a quick punch.
Gouken easily caught the fighter?s arm, and without a second?s pause Gouken twisted violently, dislocating Go Hibachi?s shoulder.
Go howled in pain as he tried to make distance between him and the enraged Gouken, but Gouken was much to fast. Everytime Go sprang away, Gouken shot forward landing at least 10 blows before Go attempted to scramble away again.
?HAH!? Go erupted with a fierce knee aimed to Gouken?s chest, but Gouken punched downward, shattering Go?s left kneecap.
The scream that followed made nearby street dogs howl, so loud the crowd covered their eyes to avoid the sound.
Go toppled to the ground, holding his leg in both arms, crying.
?Please?stop?.please?? Go pleaded, but his pleas fell on deaf ears.
Gouken picked Go up one-handed by his neck, and kneed him so hard two ribs in the Thai fighter?s chest snapped like twigs. The sound that came from this made weak-stomached spectators suddenly vomit.
Gouken silently stepped back a couple feet as Go attempted to get up, failing miserably.
The crowd watched as the match was at a standstill, neither fighter moving. Gouken stood upright, red steam rushing around him as he cupped his hands behind him.
?DIE???
Suddenly, a ki blast twice the size of the user shot from Gouken?s hands, a pulsing ball of red destructive energy. It slowly shot towards a defenseless Go, who could only stare in horror.
A bright red flash of light lit up the arena and the surrounding area, so bright the crowd had to shield their eyes. A loud crash soon followed, and when the smoke cleared.
Go Hibiki was 50 feet away, his body plowed through the stone walls of the battleground, dust and stone hovered in the air around his crumpled form. He was covered in blood, and lay on the ground in a very unnatural position.
The crowd gasped in horror as Gouken stood there, seemingly not paying attention?or not caring. Suddenly the red steam vanished, and Gouken fell to one knee exhausted.
?What happened?? Gouken muttered as he looked around. Then he saw.
?Oh no??my god???
Goutetsu suddenly shoved through the crowd and stared at the scene in astonishment.
?Satsui No Hado?..? His voice trailed off as he stared at the broken body of Go Hibiki, who would be in a coma for the next 4 months, and would not fight again for years.
Cool.
A couple of suggestions though (if you don’t mind)…
- Use coloured words less. When you first had ‘RAGE’ in red in an earlier chapter, that was so freakin’ awesome, but now it’s lost it’s impact.
- Gouken’s power level rose? That may be what’s happening, but it sounds very DBZish.
That was really cool anyway, keep it up.
Lmaoooo:lol:…Gouken kicked a** and asked questions later. :evil:
That was worth the wait FoF, good job. 
I wonder what Akuma’s gonna do and how he’ll react after Gouken tells him what happened and how he defeated Go Hibiki…
Let me know when you start on my av, and just PM me when your finished…
-Yeah, I see your point
-Yeah…that was a little homage or somethig…this fanfics sounds a little too DBZ to me too lately and I’m just acknowledging it:sweat:
Dude, that was brilliant. I’m inspired to go write the next chapter of my story right now, which I will.
amazing work.
I love your writing.
That is all:p
:eek: :eek: :eek:
Whoa… Satsui no Hadou Gouken… :eek:
That’s the best part I’ve seen since I joined Shoryuken.com forums!!
It seemed worth the wait!!!
I give it two thumbs up!!!
Great chapter as usual. I dunno what to say besides that. FOF fics=top tier
Dosen’t seem like a lot of people are reading…:bluu:
Dude, you should know this neck of the woods by now. People read, but are too lazy to post. And again I thank you for the inspiration.
to be honest the very first time i grazed this story i was thinkin
baby akuma and gouken? hmm and i wasnt too into it so i ignored it, then a couple weeks later, which would be earlier today, i decided to take another shot at it, and read through it slowly, and ended up reading all the chapters back to back.
damn
i missed out those weeks, this is a badass story so far and i almost started to forget about “still burning” cause im pretty into this one
like m121akuma said earlier your storys are all top tier i gotta give another thumbs up to this one, i just had a weird look on my face when “a ki blast twice the size of the user shot from Goukens hands, a pulsing ball of red destructive energy.” came from a little guy like goukens hand. im still under the impression hes a lil kid, unless i missed a year or 2 of their lives. im sure their beefed up from training, it just seemed a little unreal, but then again, when are ki blasts out of peoples hands real anyway
great story
