Lost Memories "Beta" Chapter 20
By ChunLiKasumi

The yin/yang universe....

Back at the Master's estate....

"I hope Master Gen gets here. He should know what to do." ChunLi replied.

"I hope he gets here quickly. Satsu No Hado gets stronger everytime he uses the Shun Gotu Satsu on someone. He litterally gains his victum's power!" Ken replied.

"Uh Ken, I have one question for you, doesn't Satsu No Hado have Ryu's memories as well?" ChunLi replied. "Well, not initially, but eventually he will have access to Ryu's full memories....oh crap...." Ken said as he jsut realized that Satsu No Hado would eventually find them.

The doorbell rung. Everyone just froze. There was another ringing. Everyone just looked at the door. All of a sudden there was a pale blue light lit up at the front door. Ken cupped his hands to his side. An intense blue light flare up within his hands. The door was blasted open by a tremendous pale blue explosion. Ken hurled a projectile that was burning with blue light.

"Hadoken"

All of a sudden his projectile reversed course and headed back at him.

"Reflect"

Quickly ducking, Ken nearly got run over by his own projectile.

"Who are you?" Ken shouted.

"I am Rose. Are you Ken Masters?" A women replied as she walked out from the smoke that cloaked the doorway.

"That's me, how did you know my name and what do you want?" Ken replied.

"You must come with me quickly, Satsu No Hado will surely find you here. Come with me quickly, there is no time to explain." Rose said and with that, the entire room was covered in a pale blue light as they vanished from the Master's estate.

Elsewhere in the US....

Satsu No Hado had arrived in the US, his thirst for death stronger than ever. He had just claimed the lives of many of the participants of the Street Fighter Alpha tourney. Only the lives of 3 other participants remained. He had sensed the their pressence and knew how to locate them. Soon, he will find ChunLi....

Meanwhile in Italy....

"Ok Rose, explain whats going on." Ken asked.

"I am sure you all remember who this man was." Rose said as she showed them a picture of Bison.

"He was my brother, when we were young, we were both homeless orphans until some stranger took us in. He was a fortune teller nearing the end of his life and before he passed on, he wished to pass on his knowledge so that it will not be lost. We both studied under him and had learned how to tap into our soul power. My brother was intriqued by its power and eventually started to use his soul power to build his empire. Our universe is but one dimension, in reality, there are infinitely many universes, all going at the same time with different histories, sort of like the Slider's theory. His trust for power eventually caused him to create the psycho drive which linked and warped his soul power. However, this psycho drive is unpredictable, any energy discharge near it will cause it to react. I consulted my tarrots and discovered that there must have been an explosion near the psycho drive while Bison was fighting a group of people, probably you people. Apparrently, this explosion cause the psycho drive to react to attract each other. Another bizzare occurance is that at the time the psycho drive was destoryed in this universe by dark energy from Satsu No Hado, another psycho drive in that other universe was destroyed by light pure energy from another source. These positive and negative energies are linked to their sources and when they destroyed the psycho drive, it linked them to the soul power of our two universes and its causing our universes to attract each other into the same space. If we do not do something, both universe will occupy the same space and this will violate the laws of nature and this will destroy both universes!" Rose explained.

"But what can we do to stop it?" ChunLi asked.

"We must find the other source that destroyed the psycho drive in the other universe and this source must fight Satsu No Hado. The one who wins will determine the fate of our universe. If the pure source wins, then our universes will be normal again. The Satsu No Hado wins, then our universes will be dark and evil." Rose replied.

"So how do we find this other source and can we save Ryu?" ChunLi asked.

"You cannot save Ryu, either he or the other source must die in order to save our universes. We must send someone to the other dimension to find this source. Ryu and Satsu No Hado are the same person, if either of them live, then our universes will be at the mercy of evil and darkness, uncountable billions will die." Rose replied.

ChunLi broke out into tears....
