New York City. She remembers it. A grand and bustling city filled with millions of people and the headquarters of the Anti-Kaiju force of America. It was a popular hit spot for Kaiju's to breach, thus making it one of the most heavily protected cities on the east coast. Gojira-san occasionally approached the city's coast to find food, preferably whales and fish. Yet every time she would bring up an alarm and would get shot at, forcing her to retaliate and move somewhere else... She even fought other kaiju in that same city...

All of it is now destroyed. Or at least, that's probably how HER New York would look like in a century. Destroyed... ruined... crumbling... devoid... all gone now. And now she landed near the Statue of Liberty, one of America's most prized tourist attractions. Even she, one who said to lift her lamp beside the golden door, was well beyond repair, ruined after man left her to rot out in this devoid landscape. What terrible calamity happened here may as well remain a mystery to Gojira-san, but she feels quite lonely.  

Trecking along the ruined road that is now Broadway, she slowly walks through the remains of the still standing buildings...

Hiding out on the third floor of the Empire State Building, the famous, wandering, international karate champion Ryu sits as he looks out at the sea of decaying metal. He traveled to his New York several times to fight many legendary fighters, and winning every single one of them. Yet even after those fights, he still wanders in search of new opponents to challenge. But who would predict that he would be going into a whole new universe just to find one? Absolutely no one. Yet that was what Ryu did.

Now he hides out and makes a small camp for himself within the rusty Empire State Building. His tent is small, filled with holes, but still somewhat comfy if given the right angle. His warm fire provides the only source of light in the darkest of nights, yet its fueled not by regular fire, but by Ryu's own ki energy, resulting in a blue flame that can last much longer then regular fire. At least he can make himself warm at will...

Maybe a champion will come upon this very spot and challenge him to a duel...
