By Chunli

"Well, well, well, I've been expecting you. It's been such a long time since we last met. So how have you been?" Bison said.

"Ryu, help me, please." ChunLi pleaded.

"D*mnit Bison, let her go. She has nothing that you want." Ryu shouted.

"On the contrary, she has much that I want. For example, it's rare to find such a nice and beautiful girl. Look at her, such beauty, and such spirit. It would be such a shame if someone like me were to take advantage over her forcibly. But what I end up doing depends entirely on you Ryu. Join me or I will rape ChunLi right here before you!" Bison threatened.

For a while, there was nothing but silence. Then Bison broke the silence.

"Need a little help deciding? The pleasure is all mine!" Bison said as he reached over to ChunLi, who started to scream.

"ALRIGHT, YOU WIN, I WILL JOIN YOU, JUST DON'T HARM HER!!!!" Ryu shouted.

"Ah, very good. Glad that you final came to see it my way. First I want to see you true potential. Sagat!" Bison called out.

Sagat appeared behind Bison. He then hopped into the arena.

"Ryu I want you to fight Sagat without holding back. If you don't Sagat will kill you as he is quite mad about that nasty little scar on his chest." Bison ordered.

Ryu nodded in agreement. Both fighters assume their fighting position.

"Long time no see Ryu." Sagat said coldly.

"Why did you join Bison? I thought you would rather die than become the slave of someone like Bison." Ryu questioned as he circled Sagat.

"When one is consumed with vengeance, one will put aside all else. I am truly sorry for having to bring ChunLi into our conflict, but there was no other way for me to get into a true battle with you. In the last Alpha tournament, you didn't fight your best and therefore, that battle was hollow. Now you will have to fight your best or else ChunLi will get raped." Sagat said as they circled each other.

"So you are willing to let an innocent girl get hurt just for your own desires? You disappoint me Sagat." Ryu replied.

"I join Bison strictly so that I can fight one true fight with you Ryu. While ChunLi was held captive here, I watched over and made sure that no harm came to her. Should you die here today, I will make sure that no harm befalls her. Should you win here today, I will make sure that she is returned to you unharmed. All this is on the condition that you fight at your best." Sagat demanded coldly.

"Very well, in exchange for ChunLi's safety, I will grant you your wish. May the best fighter win." Ryu said.

And the fight began. Sagat charged forward with a sidekick to the ribs. Ryu blocked the kick with both of his forearms, but the shear momentum of the kick knocked him backwards. Sagat continued his onslaught by hopping forward and sent his crashing to Ryu's face.

"Tiger Knee"

Just before the knee made contact with Ryu's face, Ryu spun around leapt into the air and executed his hurricane kick.

"Tatsumaki Senpuu Kyaku"

Ryu's left foot slammed into Sagat's lower back and sent him flying. Sagat flew away from Ryu, rolled as he landed, quickly got back to his feet and dashed towards Ryu before he could finish his technique. Just as Ryu was about to land, Sagat tripped Ryu and executed his Tiger uppercut, juggling Ryu for a deadly 7 hits.

"Tiger Uppercut"

Ryu crashed onto the ground. He quickly got up only to find a bright orange light speed towards him.

"Tiger"

Rolling forward and under the projectile, Ryu dashed forward and hit Sagat with his Dragon punch just as he was recovering.

"Shoryuken."

Sagat was sent flying through the air. Ryu landed and executed his standing side kick and hit Sagat while he was in the air, which sent Sagat flying backward with such force that Sagat was embedded in a nearby wall.

"Joudan Sokutou Geri"

Sagat got up, apparently unfazed from the attack. He dashed forward. Seeing this as an opportunity, Ryu cupped his hands to his side and hurled a blue projectile at Sagat. To his surprise, Sagat rolled under it, stood up and let the projectile hit him from behind and launch forward with devestating force. Sagat then jumped forward and kick Ryu with a devastating flaming jump kick.

"Tiger Raid"

Ryu was flung backwards. He landed on the ground with a loud thud. Seeing his advantage, Sagat held his arms forward. A bright orange light lit up in his hands an he hurled a massive orange projectile at Ryu.

"TIGER CANNON"

As Ryu got up, he dove to the side to avoid the projectile, which crated itself in a nearby wall. Sagat rushed forward again. Ryu cupped his hands to his side again. Anticipating another projectile, Sagat held his arms forward as he dashed forward. A bright orange light lit up in his hands as he hurled a bright orange projectile at Ryu.

"Tiger"

To his surprise, Ryu dashed forward, rolled under the projectile and Sagat and stood up behind Sagat. A harsh wind blew around Ryu as he leapt into the air, defied gravity and spun in the air with his right foot extended.

"SHINKUU TATSUMAKI SENPUU KYAKU"

Sagat was hit viciously for a total of 16 hits before he was sent flying out of Ryu's spinning vortex. Sagat hit the ground with a loud thud. Ryu landed and cupped his hands to his side. A bright blue light lit up in his hands as he dashed forward towards Sagat. Sagat got up and saw Ryu prepare to throw a fireball while he was dashing forward. Putting his arms forward, a bright orange light lit up as he hurled a massive orange projectile at Ryu.

"TIGER CANNON"

To his surprise, Ryu dispersed and aborted the fireball, hopped over the massive flaming fireball. He then dashed towards a defenseless Sagat, who was still recovering from his previous technique, and executed his attack.

Dashing Right Elbow.

"SHIN"

Left Hook

The dragon sleeps...

Left Uppercut.

The dragon awakens...

Left Rising Dragon Punch.

"SHORYUKEN"

Sagat was sent flying over 40 feet in the air and he landed on the ground with a loud thud. He got up more slowly this time, clearly showing fatigue. Ryu cupped his hands to his side again. An intense blue light lit up in his hands. Sagat dashed forward, prepared to dodge the incoming fireball. The fireball never came. When Sagat got within melee range of Ryu, Ryu leapt up into the air hurled a massive blue projectile towards the ground.

"SHINKUU HADOKEN"

The projectile exploded upon the ground with devastating force, slamming Sagat backwards as he was near point blank of the blast. Ryu landed several feet away from Sagat. Sagat had taken too much punishment and could barely stand. Cupping his hands to his side again, another intense blue light lit up in his hands. Ryu hurled a blue projectile at a barely standing Sagat.

"Hadoken"

The projectile slammed into Sagat and floored him. Ryu walked up to Sagat, who was barely conscious.

"You fought well Sagat, I look forward to our next fight." Ryu said.

"Thank you for the fight..." Sagat whispered before he was knocked out cold.

"Well done Ryu, you're a lot stronger than I thought." Bison said clapping.

"For your next fight, I want you to fight your best friend Ken." Bison ordered.

"NO WAY, KEN IS MY FRIEND, I WON'T FIGHT HIM!!!!" Ryu shouted back.

"Well in that case, I guess I will have to rape this lovely lady beside me." Bison said with an evil grin as he reached over to grab ChunLi by the breasts.

Seeing Bison reach for her, ChunLi started to scream in fear.

"STTOOOPPPP IIIIIIIIITTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT!!!!!!" Ryu shouted.

"Oh, so you will fight now?" Bison asked, his hands a mere inches away from ChunLi.

"We will." Ken said.

"Ken?" Ryu asked surprised.

"Don't worry Ryu I understand. But lets not fight for Bison, lets fight for ChunLi. Let's fight for her freedom." Ken said.

"Agreed." Ryu said. They tapped fists as they entered into their fighting stance...
