** Courtroom full of people, Washington DC, USA **

A police officer spoke. "All arise for his honor Judge Jefferson."

A crowd that resided within the courtroom rose to its feet.

"Sit down," the Judge said. The crowd complied. The Judge was a middle aged man with a large white beard, and deep brown eyes, and a rather deep, loud voice.

"Bring in the defendent!" the Judge said. A set of double doors opened. Two large guards led a man in a prisoner's outfit towards a table. He was the World Warrior also known to many as Ryu.

He sat beside a large wooden desk, where a goofily grinning man in a pink suit sat. Ryu groaned and sighed. "I should've agreed to let Ken get me a lawyer...Why in god's name did I let Dan be my lawyer?" Ryu thought and sat down.

On the other side of the courtroom, beside a similar table sat a man in a sharp looking Armani suit, his blond hair was tied in a braid and his elegent form fit perfectly in his suit. He smiled at Ryu and rubbed his hands.

"Will the defendent rise..," the Judge said and Ryu complied. "Ryu Hoshi, you are charged for lack of character, lack of sense, lack of a plot and lack of a life, how do you plead?" the Judge asked.

Ryu went wide-eyed"That's what I'm being charged with??" he thought. Dan shook his fist. "This is an outrage I'll counter sue...I'll punch Vega's pretty boy face...I'll...I'll..," Dan said while rising on the desk. The crowd chuckled at the site.

"Mr. Hibiki you will control yourself in my courtroom or I'll have you removed!" the Judge said. Dan smiled nervously and returned to his seat.

"Now answer the question!" The Judge barked angrily. Ryu sighed. "Not guilty," he said and sat down.

"Very well Mr. Hoshi, Let the trail begin. Bring your first witness, prosecuter."

"I call Mr. Birdie to the stand" Vega said.

Birdie was sworn in to tell the truth. Vega approached...

"Please tell the jury what your claim against Ryu is." Vega said slyly.

Birdie cleared his throat and spoke, "Ryu has all the hot babes swooning over him! And he doesn't even care! AND LOOK at his hair! Look how bloody good it looks! NOW, look at MY hair! IT'S GOT A FREAKIN' HOLE IN IT!"

Ryu pounds on the table, "Its not my fault you look like garbage! What's this have to do with me?"

"Mr.Hoshi you will keep quiet in my courtroom!" the Judge barked. "Go on Mr.Birdie..."

Birdie cleared his throat and continued, "As I was saying, I'm sure he's bribed someone at Capcom into letting him have every little bloody thing he wants. Good hair, good moves... the right to be the main character! He's doesn't even have a storyline!"

People in the crowd nod and whisper, while Ryu sweatdrops. "I'm a deadman"

Birdie continued his rant, "ALL of his endings are just him walking into the sunset looking for another fight! How B-O-R-I-N-G!"

Crowd claps and agrees, Ryu sweatdrops again.

"What is Mr. Hoshi's occupation?" Vega questioned.

Birdie answered, "He's nothing but a good for nothing warrior, he doesn't pay taxes, he's a worthless vegabond..."

"He's a world-class A** hole..." - Balrog, who was in the crowd, finished.

Ryu glares at Balrog. Dan rises to his feet, "Hey isn't there supposed to be order in the courtroom? I demand justice! Oshaaa!!" Dan raises his fist at the judge

The Judge glares, "Sit down. Now, ORDER IN THE COURTROOM!" The Judge looked back at Dan, "And don't do that again..."

Dan falls on his butt from the force of the shout and crawls back to his seat.

"You're witness, councler," Vega with a smile and slitting motion to Ryu and Dan.

"How old are you Birdie?" Dan asked as he approached the witness.

"Uhhh...," Birdie stalls as he counts on his fingers. The crowd chuckles.

"Nevermind, I don't have all year..," the frustrated Dan said. "Look at yourself Birdie, you dress like a circus clown gone terribly wrong..."

"I do not!"

"You lick chains in public.."

"Uhhhhh.... no comment."

"You have hair that'd be a suitable birdhouse..."

"That's capcom's fault!" Birdie yells.

Vega shouts, "Objection! He's badgering the witness!"

Birdie sniffs, "It's not my fault...I...I... They made me have bad hair so it makes Ryu look better!"

Everyone gasps and looks at Ryu, who is now slapping his forehead.

"You know that makes sense, all of us have strange hair except..." Dan says as his mind wanders....

"What????" Ryu yells, "You're supposed to be on my side!"

"Oh yeah...Oops" Dan replies, coming back to reality. Ryu continues, "And besides, not everyone has strange hair, look at Ken and Cammy! And Fei Long!"

Birdie stammers, "Well...They're your friends...You talked to Capcom for them too!"

"I did not!!" Ryu quips, "Look at Bison! He's NOT my friend!"

From the crowd, Akuma pops in, "That's right, then look at his chin..."

"It looks like a butt!" Birdie shouts.

Bison glares at Birdie for a moment. "And look at his nose," Bison says and points at Akuma.

"You could land a plane on that thing!" Birdie shouts, earning death glares from his employer and Akuma. Birdie then sweatdrops.

The Judge calls, "Next witness.."

Vega stands up and speaks, "Prosecution calls M. Bison to the stand." Birdie steps down and Bison teleports to the stand.

The Judge sweatdrops. "Don't do that, it's freaky."

"And watch that chin, don't break the microphone" Chun-li yells from the crowd. The rest of the crowd laughs, Bison 'hmphs'.

"ORDER, ORDER IN THE COURTROOM!!" the Judge booms. Everyone holds their ringing ears.

"So Mr.Bison what are you claims against Ryu?" Vega says. "Oh, and did I mention you're such a good employer?"

Bison smiles. "He stops me from taking over the world, and thank you Vega, you can expect a bonus if this ends well..." Vega grins...

Bison continues, "Anyway, Ryu's bribing them I say...He withstood my psyhco power! And look at the animated movie! He got beaten up and still won in the end! No one can do that!"

The crowd nods, the Judge rubs chin. Ryu takes out a piece of paper and starts writing a will...

"AND..," Bison continues, "..he still looked good enough to be a model afterwards!"

"Yeah!" the men in the crowd shout.

"The prosecution rests." Vega said as he sat down.

Dan jumps up. "The defense would like to show exihbit A..." Dan pulls out a piece of paper, "This is the protocal of Bison's latest lawsuit..."

Bison fidgets in his seat.

Dan reads, "We Warner Bros., hereby sue Capcom for letting their character, M.Bison, use our ideas to conquer the world from the cartoon 'Pinky and the Brain'."

Crowd goes silent, and then breaks into laughter, Ryu even snickers.

Bison shakes in fury, "Give me that! It was a setup, I was falsely charged! I don't even have a TV!!"

"I thought those plans sounded familiar," Birdie idly said.

"Yeah...And they kept on failing too...," Sagat said. The crowd nods.

"You watch cartoons?" Vega whispers to Birdie.

"Uh....well...," Birdie stammers. Rose couldn't help but overhear the conversation. "Don't hide from us Vega, we know you watch Pokemon..." she says.

Vega turns red, "EEP! I do not!"

"OH really..." Rose says slyly, "I heard you chant Pikachu in your sleep when you visited last month."

Vega sweatdrops, "Prove it!" Rose takes out a tape recorder. "Ok, don't prove it," Vega says.

"You slept at Rose's???" Sagat questions. Ryu chuckles, if this keeps up they'll forget about him. Rose in turn goes red.

"What were you two doing anyway?" Dan says slyly.

"Uhh...nothing! Really!" Rose replies. "Well...He was in the neighborhood...and it was raining...So I let him in until the rain stopped."

"Yeah right and Balrog has a brain," Cammy says. Balrog glares at Cammy as she continues, "Tell the truth luv, how is he?"

Rose flushes an even brighter shade of red. "I told you I just let him in from the rain!"

"And then you two got your groove on!" Dan finished with a grin.

"Rose! Ewww! I thought you had better taste than that!" Chun-li says with a sour face. "You have no proof, stop it!" Rose yells. Vega takes out a camera and smiles.

"Vengence is sweet, isn't it Rosie?" Vega says with a grin. Bison coughs, the crowd yells, "OH MY GOD...SEX VIDEOS!!!"

The Judge quirks an eyebrow.

"Rose, my former student, I didn't know you had it in you..." Bison says.

"Yeah...I always say you as the shy type..." Sakura agrees.

"She's definitely got something in her now..." Dan comments.

"EEWWWW!!!!" the crowd screams. Rose shot a soul spark and Dan and sits down. Dan's suit is now partially fried, so he sits down too and begins sulking.

"Pink clad dimwitt! It's better than having no sex life at all!" Rose quips. Dan sweatdrops before yelling, "You don't know anything!"

"Oh..don't I?" Rose takes out a list, "These are all the woman Dan's flirted with. I made a demographic poll of their opinions, hmmm, let's see here.... 12% say he's a loser and that they'd rather eat dirt..."

Dan sweatdrops. Rose continues, "23% say not even if someone would offer them Bill Gates shares in MSN, 35% say they'd rather swin in a bikini in antartica... and 30% just laughed."

Dan sits back down, with an injured pride.

The men in the room snicker, and the Judge laughs but then recomposes himself. "Next witness..."

Ryu sighs, wishing they'd go back to argueing...

"The defense calls Chunli Xiang as a witness for the defendant's aid" - Dan
