Chapter 19: A growing power....

At the Master's residence....

"How is it that this Satsu No Hado is so strong? It seems that Ryu's fighting potential is nowhere near his." ChunLi asked.

"Many years ago, our sensai's brother, Gouki, ran away with the forbidden text of Shotokan. I am not sure as to why the Satsu No Hado is stronger than the original host, but there is a great power to be gained from it. However, gaining it and controlling it are two different issues." Ken replied.

"How can we fight against someone who beat Bison flawlessly? Even our strongest attacks can't even scratch him, let alone stop him. Maybe we have to fight him using the same power." ChunLi suggested.

"Only through many years of training can one cause his Satsu No Hado to arise. As a person gets stronger, Satsu No Hado get stronger together. Even if we could our Satsu No Hado forms to emerge, they would be nowhere near Ryu's Satsu No Hado's level of power." Ken explained.

"Maybe Master Gen can help us, I am going to give him a call right now." ChunLi said as she reached for the phone.

Over in Hong Kong....

"Alright boys, enough skateboarding for today, time for your daily practice." Gen instructed.

"Yes sifu." Yun and Yang answered.

All of a sudden the phone rang.

"Hello? Oh its you little spring, how are you? Have you recovered from your injuries? How is everybody over there in America? Hmm..., uh huh, I see, ok, we will be right over." Gen said into the microphone.

"Boys pack up, we're going to the States. ChunLi needs our ...." Gen voice silenced as a man in a black gi entered the dojo. Yun and Yang were standing in their fighting positions.

"So, she is hiding over in the United States. Excellent." the man said.

"Who are you?" Gen asked.

"I am known as Satsu No Hado. For helping me find my beautiful ChunLi, I will give you all swift death." The man said with a menacing laughter.

All of a sudden, Satsu No Hado vanished re-appeared behind Yun, catching him completely off-guard. Wrapping his arms around Yun's head, he quickly snapped Yun's neck, killing Yun instantly.

Yang turned only to see his brother fall to the ground life-lessly. He didn't even see Satsu No Hado re-appear behind him. Satsu No Hado cupped his hands to his sides, an intense purple light flared up as he hurled a massive purple projectile at Yang's back, which slammed into him sending flying through a wall and onto the streets where he was run over by a delivery truck.

"METSU GOU HADO"

His speed was inhuman. Even Gen himself couldn't keep up with him. Satsu No Hado then turned to Gen, who was still shocked at what had happened. Rage then filled Gen as he all of a sudden dashed forward with blinding speed.

"ZAN EI LONG SHADOW"

Satsu No Hado also dashed forward as with an outstretched elbow that hit Gen in the stomach, countering his attack and causing him to lean forward. Satsu No Hado then followed up his attack with a rising dragon punch, hitting on the Gen and crushing his skull.

"METSU SHORYUKEN"

Gen fell lifelessly to the ground.

"Soon, ChunLi, you will be mine, muwahahahahahahaha." Satsu No Hado laughed as he vanished into thin air.

Elsewhere in Italy....

"This is not good, if what this text says is true, the world is going to be destroyed itself in 16 days. Is there anyway to stop it?" Rose thought to herself as she rummaged through more text.
