Touhou fighter Chapter 3

                                          Ryu Hoshi vs Meling Hong




They stood there for a moment. And Ryu was surprised, and Sakuya raised an eyebrow.

"You knew Master Gouken?" Ryu asked eagerly, suddenly interested.

"I may have learned a thing or two from that old man." Meiling nodded. "But I couldn't learn much. Hes to much of a talker, and always giving me riddles i can't understand, So couldn't stay there forever."

"Wow. You know, he never really mentioned you." They continued to speak to each other, ignoring Sakuya them". Show me, what you have learned from Master Gouken" Ryu asked getting ready to fight

"Sounds excellent." Meiling taunted. They both lowered into fighting stances, both unique in their own way. And suddenly they charged at each other.

Sakuya and stayed on the ground, observing the two battling from the sidelines. "Those two…" Sakuya sighed. "We'll never get to the mistress at this rate."

Before we start. Your master wanted me to tell you that he won't be able to see you for a very long time" said Meling
as Ryu was feeling hurt for what Meling said about his Master."

In the ground, whenever Meiling and Ryu clashed, a rainbow burst and a clear burst collided, and a soft boom reached their ears. Suddenly, they had stopped fighting. Meiling and Ryu stood in the air, smirking at each other, both with equal confidence in their abilities. "Hey!" Meiling called. "Are you getting tired yet?"

"I never get tired!" Ryu called back. When there was no answer, There was a rainbow aura surrounding her again, and her clothes were moved by an invisible wind. Then she held out a card. It looked like it was a playing card.

Meiling grinned. He would never see this coming, she thought. Rainbow Sign: "Wind Chime of Colorful Rainbow!"

Ryu cocked his head. Suddenly, colorful objects darted out towards him. He admitted that it looked pretty, but they were fast. There was an occasional gap, and the objects seem to move in some orbit around Meiling.

But the objects are not as fast and painful as the Hadous. Ryu and Ken. Have fired with so Ryu may in endured them
as he speeds away from them.

He was running away from the objects, observing. Then an object grazed his arm, and it burned. He grimaced. So,  those are damakus Sakuya said. Ryu thought. I should probably dodge them now. Those things are powerful!


"Hes fast." Sakuya thougth. "He keeps dodging them like its slow to him. Why is she using that, though? Is she getting tired?"

Ryu kep speeding away from the gaps, and once the orbit changed direction, so did he. Ryu frowned. How was he going to get to Meiling at this rate?

If he couldn't get close to her, then he might as well shoot her with a Hadou from a distance. He place his hands  together, Hadouken! Ryu shouted and aimed his blast at Meiling.

This went through the bullets, and right to Meiling, who flinched, and everything went back to normal. Ryu grinned. "That was some trick." He said.

"Yeah, it's what people here do." Meiling stated, matter-of-factly.

"Though I can tell it isn't you're expertise. Why don't we just fight?" Ryu suggested.

Meiling, in turn, grinned. "All right… No holding back. I'll show you what China is made of."

They charged at each other again with a punch at the head, a dodge, and a swipe at the feet. They exchanged at the speed of light, it seemed. Meiling would charge a red fist, and upper-cutting Ryu, causing a red ring to burst and fade out.

"I don't notice anything different about Meiling." Down below, Sakuya was observing what Meiling could have possibly learned.

"Time to end this." Ryu shrugged.

"How is he gonna end it?" Sakuya thougth,raised an eyebrow.

Back in the ground, Meiling and Ryu zoomed around like flies, but they still managed to stay below the gate of the Scarlet Devil Mansion.

Ryu was about to lay a air punch on Meiling's shoulder, Shoryuken" Ryu shouted as his body and fist was gonna hit her in the air. but she spun away, and rainbow bullets spewed out. Ryu quickly recoiled, and jumped back. Ryu breathed in, and Meiling sneered at him.

Ryu charged again, but Meiling spun, keeping him away. This happened for several seconds, until Ryu was finally able to kick her across the side, Shin Ku Tatusamaki" Ryu shouted and send her flying. Then she stopped herself midflight, grimacing.

That same aura from earlier surrounded her, and that same invisible wind buffeted her clothes and hair. She raised another card. Ryu braced himself.

Colorful Sign: "Extreme Color Typhoon"

It was raining rainbow bullets. There were really narrow gaps, in which Ryu grazed against, but he made it through. The bullets were denser and more random too. He made his way to Meiling, and made power punch Shin!" Ryu made a punch in the Meling's gut as he shouted. Sho!" Ryu made a another shout as Ryu punched her in the chin. Ryuken!" Ryu made a final shout as he air punched her to the sky then she fell back to the ground.

From the ground, all Sakuya could see was .Ryu faster then the wind itself.

Sakuya's mouth dropped a little. Yet she recovered from her shock quickly. So Meiling went to the outside world? When, exactly? Sakuya shook her head to remove her thoughts.

After the smoke disappeared, Meiling panted heavily with her arms still extended, and her clothes a little ripped. Ryu lowered his arms, hardly damaged. He let go a breath, and looked to Meiling.

She looked like she was about to collapse, again.

Ryu quickly walked to her side, and put her arm around his shoulder. "That was pretty amazing there." He commented. "I could tell you gave it your all." Meiling smiled. "But you had just recovered from another fight. It was kind of stupid to jump right into another one."

Meiling narrowed her eyes at him, and they both lowered down to where Sakuya was. "So shall we head to the Mansion? Sakuya asked.

Ryu shrugged, and looked to Sakuya. "What do we do with Meiling?"

"After a rest she'll be fine, I'll send for Patchouli…" Sakuya said, noting Meiling's condition.

"She's barely conscious. She needs more training to master the Hadou before use all this power explained.

"I can still hear you, you know." Meiling muttered. "I'm not… that weak…"

Ryu smiled at her, and she blushed. "Well, I'm not saying you were!"

On top of the clock tower was Remilia watching the fight" She knew that Ryu can live up to his reputation
Well that really went well for him, Thats the type of fighter i want. Not some weak sleeping gate keeper that can't do her job. Remilia said as she headed back to the Mansion.
