Whoo, an excuse to post that fan-ficcy type summary I wrote of Shinobier's Chapter 7a vid for NG.

Here's a play-by-play of Shinobier's Ryu vs Alma. I couldn't help but turn it into a writers exercise, for which I apologise.

The cutscene ends. As soon as control returns to the player, Shinobier hits Wind Run (X+A) and uses Flying Swallow almost instantly after the Wind Run command. Alma goes down, wounded. Without moving, Shinobier uses Gleaming Dragon (360 + Y(hold)). He then retreats.

Shinobier runs towards the altar. Seeing him trying to escape, Alma screams and charges at him, emitting a mild Sonic Boom. At the last second, Ryu rolls to the side and, without pausing for breath, immediately goes for a slash into azure dragon (XY). Alma attempts to encase Ryu in her tractor beam, but is stopped by a follow up to the combo Shinobier just performed. Alma tries for the tractor beam a second time, but is not fast enough to catch Ryu, who runs to the western side of the monastry.

Ryu stops on a dime and changes direction as Alma throws around 10 pink fireballs at him. A banshee scream fills the air and the very columns of the building are rent asunder, being summoned by Alma and thrown through the air at Ryu. Sensing speed is of the essence, Ryu continues to run in his current direction, jumping onto and off of the walls for extra height and speed. All this has happened in 18 seconds.

Again, Alma swoops towards Ryu. Recognising when a pattern is effective, Ryu again rolls to the side and performs XY,Y, cancelling Alma's tractor beam. Jinking to the side for a brief second, Alma tries to flank Ryu with a devastating drop kick to the chin. Ryu, somehow, rolls out of the way and draws his dragon sword, focusing his spiritual energy into a Blade of the Undefeatable. Alas, Alma takes to the air anew, and the attack is wasted.

Panicking at the seemingly easy way in which her attacks are nullified, Alma goes on tilt and tries her charge move again. Ryu rolls and does the same combo. This time, instead of pulling the tractor beam, Alma flies 90 degrees around Ryu and attempts to bury her foot in his back. Defying all laws of time and space, Ryu throws his weight to the side and dodges the kick, which summarily causes a dent in the marble floor of the monastry.

The Dragon Sword swings around in a wide arc, cutting through the very air where Alma was a second ago. She's now up in the air, coming down fast at a 90 degree angle. This time, she overshoots, which proves to be a costly mistake. Ryu focuses his energy and shoots forward in a furious Haze Extinction Slash, knocking Alma backwards. Ryu rolls forward, through her legs, and spins around in a blazing fury, doing considerable damage. (36 seconds)

Deciding that her normal tactics will not work, Alma retreats, only to touch down on the ground, mustering her impressive martial art skills. Undaunted, Ryu charges straight at her, flying through the air like the Swallow who missed the target. Alma attempts her own Swallow imitation, although it fails and turns into a golden eagle swooping down. The eagle's prey (Ryu) repeats the same XY,Y combo.

Another jink, another kick. Ryu, unfatigued, dodges the assault with ease and, backward somersaulting, he catches Alma with another Flying Swallow. Realising he may not have time for the Gleam, he instead hits Alma into the air and pulls off the Blade of Nirrti combo.

Enraged at the tenacity of the Ninja, Alma goes on the offensive anew and attempts her tractor beam from scratch. A roll, a dodge. She touches down, her gaze like a gorgon's across the monastic arena, timing her next dodge exactly at Ryu jumps towards her. Alma pulls away, summoning the energy in the air into fireballs. Ryu sees it coming and immediately begins the prescribed evasive action; orbiting Alma around the room, dodging her fireballs, then reversing his orbit to dodge the immense masonry thrown soon after. The last pillar proves too close for comfort, as Ryu is forced to use the metallic gate for extra height. He realises his mistake; by using the gate, he has left himself in a corner with no possible escape route. (1 minute, 10 seconds)

Sensing her chance, Alma swoops down again. This time, there is nowhere for Ryu to run. Nowhere for Ryu to hide. It is all he can do to protect himself by holding his sword up to block the impact. The collision forces him back, breaking his guard, but Alma fails to capitalise on this. Instead, she drops down violently, hoping to pummel him into submission with her favoured flip kick. Beating her to the punch, Ryu lunges forward with his katana, sending her sprawling again. He now returns to his favoured spinning attack method, before making an offensive in the opposite direction...

Pillars which could not possibly be intact took to the air again, bidden by their fiendish mistress. Operation orbit was in effect; Ryu rolled and somersaulted around the room, sticking close to the walls to give him the maximum amount of dodging time. Alma kicks, Ryu dodges, Ryu cuts through, before putting Alma back in the air with the Blade of Nirrti. This would surely have been the end of the battle, where it not for a last minute evade by the Greater Fiend.

Her health fading fast, Alma pulled back and swooped one last time, hoping to catch Ryu as he grows overconfident. Not for nothing were those years training with his father, as the concentration of the Ninja made him roll, and slash upwards. The battle was over.

We should make a fanfic topic. I see a lot of potential writers here.

I was thinking of doing a fanfic. But if I started writing about TN related characters, it'd be novel-length in like 3 days.


Ryu stood at the edge of the abyss, staring down calmly at the Berzerkers. They were staggered out all over the canyon's side; apparently the technique he had used to strafe had thrown them a number of meters downward. He noted that they almost formed a pattern... a zig-zag that would have seemed chaotic to anyone who had never truly studied nature and Gurdu's brilliant work.

They stared at him blankly, hissing and shouting mad curses. Their eyes flamed over, and they struggled to make their way up the cliff's hilly and rocky face, one torso slide at a time. Their huge dabilahros were strapped with leather to their spiky backs, and Ryu knew that if they found their way up the face, that he would meet the heavy blades... thus this eventuality could not, would not happen.

Faster than the breeze that follows the tide out in the evening, his hands found his utility belt... three shurikens per hand were drawn back and released, leaving trails of an exquisite golden color. In the distance, the three Berzerkers each met, simultaneously, with a shuriken to each glassy white hateful eye. Ryu smiled. They would never again summon the strength to rise, let alone challenge him. There were plenty more that he would face, these were far from the last... this was a certainty. With the destruction of the Dark Dragin Blade, much evil had been released into this region, mutating animals and creating elementals of rock and water. It was a magical evil... the life essence of the Dark Dragon could never be destroyed.


It continued to flow, as did Ryu. He vanished in a puff of smoke, off to find what further horrors plagued the sacred valley.
