The activity on these boards has been a little slow lately on updates, so people might not be coming as frequently as they used to. I still log on at least twice a day to look for updates, and if I see a new chapter up, I will most likely post a reply in regards to that chapter.
Personally I really like this fic, its different form others as its a story no one has really ever bothered to touch, not at Capcom, or in fanfictions. Its originality gives a special zest to it. Personally I would enjoy it much more if updates where sometimes done sooner, not the next day, but not a month later either 
Anyways, like many here have said, you keep posting and I’ll keep reading.
you know what dude?
I doubt I can do it. Your best bet is to get someone else…I suck at making avs.
soooorry:sweat:
I WANT MORE!!! *cough cough…ahem…thank you…pout’s viciously > :(
cool fic
Hey. Just checking out some of the other fan fics on here besides mines. This is nice. keep it going.
A wave of inspiration just swept over me…three pages and counting…

Sure you’ll finish early…on a cold day in HELL!!!
JK
Just make it good.
Ditto:D:lol:
WOW. FistsofFury, would you please send me this in text format? I want to read it at home. PM it to me.
When dammit WHEN?!?!
And where do you get all those new avatars?
Chapter VIII: The Past
"Master?I don?t know?what came over me?.?
Was all Gouken could utter as the group returned home. The sun was minutes from fully disappearing from the sky, the rogue stars on the fringes of the sun?s kingdom already beginning to show themselves. The moon was still draped in silvery clouds, bashful like a little child. Gouken and Gouki walked behind their master as Goutetsu walked forward, away from home and towards the woods.
?Gouken, what you underwent is simple?yet very complex. It is something embedded within living creatures?an advanced sort of survival instinct. However, among people in connection with their ki?s?this instinct manifests itself quite differently from the average person. The elders of this art long ago gave it the title Satsui No Hado.?
Gouken nodded, motioning for more as they slowly trekked through the tangle of dense trees, the moon slowly emerging into view.
?Satsui No Hado?.is not a ?power-upgrade? or anything like that, do not treat it as such. It is a mode of thinking, a perspective in which the person under this influence of it does anything but think clearly. Think of it like this?have you ever seen a cornered wild animal? Like a tiger surrounded by hunters. The tiger? eventually if provoked enough…will lash out at anything and everything in it?s path…until it thinks that it is safe. The tiger will cease to calculate, only attack. It only has one method and mode?.to destroy. The tiger is able to do things it never could before, because it subconcisouly shatters through any and all inhibitions. It loses the ability to care about anything else but what it is currently focused on. With the human, it is a similar situation. A human in this mode loses the ability to care for or understand others, only himself. A human in this mode will lose any sensation but anger and hatred?and bloodlust. Empathy for their opponent drowns in a sea of killing intent.?
Goutetsu cleared his throat, and continued.
?Satsui No Hado does not make one stronger, it only brings forward the madness inside of one. This madness causes the person under the influence to lose any notion of apathy for anything because simply?.they don?t care anymore. They don?t feel pain, they don?t see the pain they are causing. They are beyond a point of caring for anything else?but destroying an obstacle in front of them. Satsui No Hado is a mode of thinking and fighting that is truly formidible. It corrupts the weak spirit, and if it has it?s grip on you long enough?.you are no longer a human being. You are a demon, that seeks out things to destroy. You are not in touch with human emotions such as love or happiness?all you know is anger. Satsui No Hado as a philosophy of fighting and living is a condition that is forbidden by our art, because it is the direct opposite of everything the art promotes?such as a clear mind and a connection with one?s spirit.?
Gouken and Gouki nodded.
?HOWEVER, if one has the ability to master oneself to such a degree?that they can call upon this mode as a techinique…to push themselves to places they are unable to go?it is encouraged. Granted they have mastery over themselves, and can rein in their destructive urges when need be.?
?Master?are you serious? They allow that?!?
?Yes Gouken, because when mastered, it is nothing but a technique. To one that has truly mastered themselves and their art…things like rage and sorrow are nothing more than tools to use?weapons to wield and call upon against the opposition.?
?No?.I felt what I had become?when I got so mad?.that isn?t right?that is not something someone should use against anyone!? Gouken shouted, shattering through the serene silence of the sleeping forest.
?I wanted?.to kill him?.?
?Gouken, what you felt was raw, untrained Satsui No Hado. If your talent is merely focused and refined-?
?Talent? TALENT?! What I did?was not talent?it wasn?t?.it was savagery?..no?that can?t be the way??
?Gouken?.if you can find another way for yourself. You are perfectly welcome to.? Goutetsu said with a slight smile.
?I will. Satsui No Hado is nothing but pure madness; there is a way around and through it. How can someone call himself or herself a true martial artist?if they willingly submit themselves to madness?! I thought the true martial artist was clear-headed and focused at all times?..?
?Hmmm?.Gouken. You are already challenging ancient philosophies. I see a great potential in you.?
?What about me master?!? A voice cut the conversation, it was Gouki?s, and he sounded desperate and indignant.
Gouki had been listening the whole time, and the whole time he could only think about his crushing defeat at the hands of Go Hibiki, and how is brother easily defeated the same person that Gouki labeled as unbeatable.
?Gouki?you are fine. You are progressing nicely?exceptionally well considering your age.?
?But?I?m not as strong as Gouken. You don?t have to say it.? Gouki spat the words out; they left a bitter taste in his mouth.
?Gouki!? Goutetsu voice suddenly became stern and sharp.
?What did I tell you about continuously comparing yourself to Gouken? You two are different people, and you progress in different ways. Constant trying to beat out your brother will get you nowhere. How many times do I have to tell you that??
?I am sorry master?but I cannot help it. With Go Hibiki?I could barely stay alive against him, but Gouken handled him with ease?..?
?That doesn?t matter. One thing I noticed about your fight, you never showed the slightest sign of wanting to quit. Your drive was strong Gouki, you continued when so many would have given up. That will take you farther than you can imagine.?
?WHEN?!?
?Have patience.? Goutetsu calmly said, his voice softly thundered throughout the forest. Gouki grunted to himself as he lightly punched a nearby tree in frustration, and he fell silent in the darkness.
?Master, brother. I?m going back home, I need some rest.? Gouki muttered as he turned around and trotted back to the light in a distant window.
?Fine by me Gouki.? Goutetsu muttered.
?Come, Gouken?.walk with me.? Goutetsu said with a smile, surprising the young student.
?Ask me any question you want?but you can only have one to ask this time. You must choose wisely.? Goutetsu instructed as they walked through the forest, the twigs crunching underneath them and an owl hooting softly above them.
?Your master?.what was he like? How did he die? How did he live??
?My master??.my master was a great man. He hailed from China?and his master?s master created the core structure of our present art, Ansatsu-ken?only then it was called something different. Anyways, my master was an exiled Shaolin monk?who left the temple to travel the world. This is where he got the ideal of the ?evolving? style of Ansatsu-ken, because of his constant traveling. He realized that no art could truly be perfect unless it evolved over the generations of masters and students, with parts added and unnecessary parts subtracted from it. His travels, and what he learned from them revolutionized the style, and brought him many enemies?.his enemies were mostly elders who opposed such drastic changes.?
?Really?so what happened to him? Was he killed by these elders??
?HAHA! Heaven?s no! He died of Tuberculosis as an old man that lived a full life. Not to say he didn?t have his share of fights.? Goutetsu chuckled as he reminisced.
?Can I have one more question?? Gouken meekly asked.
?Bah?sure.?
?How come you don?t take more students? I mean?wouldn?t you want the art to reach as many people as possible??
?Well, the ?rule of two? is an ancient law, recognized since the creation of the style. The reason why it is only two is, because the elders knew that two students could learn from each other and grow together. Any more would congest, and therefore thin out the total strength of the style itself, and any less would do the same, for the student would not have enough experience actually fighting. Anyone can sit and practice movements all day?actually engaging in combat is something different. Am I boring you Gouken? I see that I am not.?
Gouken was soaked the knowledge, absorbing it like a sponge.
?Now, go to bed. It?s late.?
?But you don?t even have a watch on-?
?Who needs a watch? Look at how high the moon hangs in the sky.?
And with that, Gouken trotted off to bed as Goutetsu stayed, looking up at the night, an endless black silk robe dotted with sparkling jewels.
++++++++++++++++++
The rain kept on coming, it hadn?t relented the entire day?the sky a pale sick gray and the sun bedridden in the heavens.
There was no wind, the rain fell from the sky as clear bullets, hitting the Earth and immediately bursting into fragments. After a couple of hours, the Earth began to choke on the water?spitting it back but only receiving more.
It had been 2 days after the tournament, and after one day of rest Gouki was back to the routine. He sat cross-legged at the summit of a plateau, deep in meditation.
The rain poured down, so Gouki had left his usual meditation spot under the waterfall, because there was water everywhere. Now, he sat at the top overlooking the luscious forest, that was now glistening with rainwater on the treetops.
A distant song of a bird played with his eardrums as Gouki sat, the rainwater slicking off him. The ground was cold, but Gouki was far away from the physical world.
?Hey, mind if I join you??
Suddenly a voice echoed in Gouki?s mind, and Gouki opened his eyes to find his brother staring him in the face, an eager smile on Gouken?s visage, his eyes bright and cheerful.
??.you never meditate.? Was Gouki?s response, his voice emotionless and almost annoyed.
?Yeah, but now?s as good a time as any to start!? Gouken said, once again smiling. Gouki looked at him, one eyebrow raised and the other lowered. Then after a few seconds he nodded, and Gouken sat next to him.
The rain continued as the two brothers meditated, the minutes drifting into hours.
I’ve been thinking about a Guilty Gear fic…but I know that I don’t know the characters well enough to do them justice. I barely know their respective personalities, and what fuels them. Sorry:sweat:, but thanks for the good words
