Guile had reported back to the air force base and reported back to a Genral Hawkins.
"The bust in Japan was a major success sir."Guile said. "But I also barely managed to save Ryu Hoshi from a kidnapping attempt that was by them as well."

"Good work capt.Guile."said Hawkins. "We may not know as of yet where their base of operations may be,but at least we can flush them out when they apear."

"Yes,"said Guile. "but they've been up to some real no goods concerning Street Fighters like Ryu himself. It was only last week,I and a bunch of others were trying to find the recently missing Ken Masters only to find he was assualted by Shadaloo agents.

I found out according to Ryu himself that they may have tried to lure Ryu out of hiding to try and capture him."
"Hmmm...yes,but for what?"said Hawkins.
"That I intend to find out."said Guile. "I just wish we had some way to get a line on the trail of Bison next time."

Guile then remembered what Bison said back here at the base.

"If you wish to find me,then come to the upcoming Street Fighter Tournament!"
"Wait a minute--of course---how could I have forgotten that?"he said.
"What is it?"said Hawkins.

Guile went on to explain what Bison said.
"Hmmm...yes,he would say that."said the general. "But think about it,Guile. Bison himself is a rather colorful madman. He would probably say anything to get those who pursue him off his back so to speak."

"True sir,"said Guile. "but...what choice do we really have left? He must be stopped once and for all!"
Hawkins sighed and rubbed at his wrinkly old eyes.
"Very well..."he said. "....we shall get info as to where the tournament is located and you will enter as a contestant and we will place a commuincations device on you as well,so you can keep in contact with us as well. But--remember Guile,if you manage to defeat and nab Bison,do not I repeat do not let your sense of vengeance blind you in the process.

I still remember what his men did to your friend and comrade Charlie Nash,but he has commited atrocities against many individuals over the years. So...don't lose your head in this,understand?"

"Yes--sir."said Guile.
"Very well then."said Hawkins as he reached for the phone. "I'm going to contact internal affairs for any info on the tournament. You will await further orders until then,dismissed."

Guile saluted the genral and left the room.
As he walked down the hall,he still remembered wha he saw when he and Charlie were assigned to investigate a drug lab in Cambodia.

Their fighter jets were blown to bits by a grenade launcher and there atop a mountian and a waterfall was Bison and a few of his goons were about to escape in a few choppers.

Charlie ran up the hill and jumped out in front of Bison.
He fought off Bison's men,but when he went up against the boss of Shadaloo.

"PSYCHO CRUSHER!"
Bison flew at Charlie like a torpedo and knocked him off the hill and into a nearby waterfall.

Guile tried to get up to the hill,but by the time he was there,Bison and his men were gone.
He then jumped into the watefall and found Charlie was still there,but when he fished him out of the water,he found that he was dead,the impact broke his neck.

"CHARLIE---NOOOOO!"roared Guile.
"DAMN YOU BISON--I'LL GET YOU FOR THIS!"

Since then,Guile vowed to find and destroy the man who killed his best friend,and he now knew this was his chance to do so.
He would enter the tournament and kill the man when he got there.

Suddenly,a new Television commercial was seen all across the world.
It was a picture of a man dressed in a white karate gi with a white headband and he was announcing something.

"HEY FOLKS!"he said. "JUDO JIM HERE! THIS SPRING IS GONNA BE THE BIGGEST FIGHTFEST IN THE WORLD! CAUSE THE ANNUAL STREET FIGHTERS WORLD WARRIOR TOURNAMENT IS SET TO BEGIN! COME ONE,COME ALL TO THE GREATEST TOURNAMENT IN THE WORLD! THEY'LL BE KARATE FIGHTERS,KUNG-FU,WRESTLERS,NINJAS,SAMURAI,SUMOS,JUDOS AND WHAT NOT! YOU WANNA SEE SOME HEAVY COMPETITON TO SEE WHO'S THE STRONGEST IN THE WORLD? THEN COME HERE TO THE TOURNAMENT!

The scene then shifted to a picture of a dome shaped building in Japan and had a sing that said:WOLD WARRIOR REGISTRATION HERE TODAY!

"JUST COME TO THE REGISTRATION OFFICE TO SIGN UP FOR ALL FIGHTERS!"said Jim.
"THE LOCATION OF THE TOURNAMENT WILL ALSO BE IN THAILAND SET OUT IN THE COUNTRYFIELD AND TEMPLES,WHERE THE ELIMINATION MATCHES WILL BE HELD AND THE FINALS WILL BE HELD AT DIFFERENT PARTS OF THE WORLD! THINK YOU'RE GOOD ENOUGH TO BE THE BEST? THEN PROVE IT AT THE WORLD WARRIOR TOURNAMENT,STARTING APRIL 12th AT 9:00AM SHARP BE THEEEEREE!"

Many people and of course many fighters saw the commercial and were all suddenly feeling a rush of excitment and all began to continue their training.

Cammy saw what had occured on the screen as did her commanding officer Keith Wolffman.
"Well then,Cammy?"said Wolffman. "I think now would be a good time to tell you of your new assignment."
"Does it involve that tournament thing,sir?"she said.
"It would indeed."said the Colonel.

T.Hawk saw the commercial in a bar in town.
He crushed his can of beer and threw it in the trash,and then left the bar.
"He said he would be there."thought Hawk. "If he is,i'm gonna trash him good!"

Chun-Li was back in her home in Hong Kong and was training at the local gym and dojo.
Her scras across her stomach were healed and she was ready for anything this time as she slammed several kicks into a sandbag.

She still remembers what she saw years ago at her father's home,when he was attacked by a group of assassins led by a man--in a red and black costume.

The man grabbed her father by the throat and unleashed a lethal charge of electric ki energy,killing him instantly.
"NOOOO!"screamed Chun-Li.
She was helpless to do anything at the time,she was only 13 at the time.
But as she grew to womanhood,she vowed she would find the man responsible and make him pay with his life.
She remembered on one of Ryu's visits he told her that the man that was stalking them all with his goons was called M.Bison,the leader of Shadaloo.

She also remembers her meeting with Capt.Guile of the Air Force to ask and explain the mysteries surrounding their attackers.

"I normally don't give info to civilians and strangers Miss Xiang."he said. "But since your credenitals claim that you're an operative of Interpol,i'll give what I can."

Guile took out a seperate copy folder containing info and files on the organization known as Shadaloo,and the leader behind it called Bison. Since then,Chun-Li returned home and has focused every thought on one thing---vengeance and justice on the man called Bison!

"Bison..."she thought. "...if he is the one who killed my father--then I shall find him at the tournamen--and kill him!"
Li slammed a super Lightning Kick into the bag and sent it flying into a wall!

Ken drove back to the house of the man who saved him,Steve Darren,the Grey Wolf.
He knew and remebered that the man was a famed martial artist of the USA like himself,in fact the first to come along before him back in the 1970's.

Ken owed him one and knew the perfect thing to pay him back for it,but he wondred if he would accept it.

Cammy settled into the sofa chair in the lounge room and looked over the files and photos concerning the cartel known as Shadaloo.

She looked closely at a couple of photos,one of the symbol of Shadaloo,and the other of a man dressed in a black and red hat.

The photo was signed below and it said the words:"M.BISON,LEADER OF SHADALOO."
She then looked over at the photo of the symbol of Shadaloo,a skull with a lightning bolt atop it and a pair of wings below it.
"Creepy symbol that."she thought. "But---why does it look so...familiar?"

Cammy then remembered a dream she recenlty had when she first hooked up with MI5.
She dreamed she was running down a dark tunnel and was wearing a sort of navy blue uniform with brown boots on.

She then suddenly gets stopped by a pair of dark figures standing before her.
Before she knew it,the first dark figure jumped out in front and landed in front of her.

The dark figure then swung out his left arm and she was instantly scratched across her right cheek.
She then staggered back in pain and began to fight back.

But before she could,the second figure standing before her aimed one of his hands and a bright flash of light exploded before her,and she then woke up,not knowing what it all meant.

"If he has something to do with my past,I will find out,I will."thought Cammy.

While back in America...

Ken Master's recovery was woreking out very well,but his hair had yet to grow back as he wore a red and white ball cap over his bandaged scalp.

He was clad in a white button down short sleeve shirt,blue jean shorts and sneakers and was driving his new red trans am to the same place where he was saved and byn the same man as well,Steve Darren,the Grey Wolf!

Ken owed the man a debt,and he knew the perfect way to repay him,and this time it wasn't money.

Ken parked out in front of his cozy beach house and went up to the front door.
The door opened and Steve came out.
"Ah,Ken Masters again I see."he said. "What is it I can do for you this time?"

"Uhmm..it's not a matter of what you can do this time,Mr.Darren."said Ken. "It's a matter of what I can do for you,shall we talk?"
"I--suppose."said Steve.

Ken came inside and the two sat down in the living room to discuss things.
"If it's money you're offering,I have no more need of this at this time,Mr.Masters."said Steve.
"No,no,it's not money."said Ken. "I have something greater to offer you...are you aware of the annual Street Fighter tournament that was advertised on tv this morning?"

"I saw it."said Steve. "And personally,i'm not really interested."
"Huh?"said Ken. "And why's that?"
"I--have my reasons."said Steve.
"Well...i'm not trying to butt in on someone's personal life,Steve but--i'm from the martial arts society as well,and I along with many other fighters are aware of your identity of who you are--or were--the grey wolf,the once undisputed champion of the all american fight tournaments."

"Yes--that's who I was."said Steve. "But you know Ken--you probably weren't aware of--what happened to me in the later years of when I became a champion."

"What--what do you mean?"said Ken.
"I might as well spill it,since I never told anyone else in years after what happened.
A year after I became the US champion,I decided to take on other fighters in different countries. And when I entered this competition in Paris,I took on this bulky wrestler named Andre LaHaust who was strong enough to break tree trunks with his arms.

We fought it out in the semi-finals,but when he got ahold of me with his massive arms---I used all my strength to break free but...when i did it and slammed an elbow smash into his neck...the impact was so great---I---accidentally killed him."

Ken gasped.
"No--you couldn't have---"
"But I did,Ken."said Steve. "He fell down to the floor and was dead.
I was disqualified for extreme measures even if it was an accident,I was disgraced,I returned to America and exiled myself,and I vowed to never fight anyone ever again."

"But---what about---all that training you did outside that one week?"said Ken.
"I still do that for just a fun hobby,but I try to make sure I control the power of my strength or I may take it too far like I did that one time."said Steve. "Even though there are times that I wish I could fight again like I did in the old days."

"Well that's what i'm offering you."said Ken. "A chance to redeem yourself as well as test yourself to see if you can control your power ever again. Come on,come enter the Street Fighter tournament this spring,i'm entering to see if I can catch the ruffians who attacked me and left me for dead. And I wish to take on an equally great legend as well. Come on Steve,don't live out the rest of your days in this beach community. It's the chance of a lifetime."

"I--I don't know,Ken."said Steve. "It's just--"
"Think about it."said Ken as he went for the door. "Otherwise i'll know it if I see you at the tournament. Otherwise,take care and keep training."

Ken then left the beach in his car and Steve stood in front of the window,thinking about Ken's offer.

While back in Japan,Ryu and Honda continued their training for the tournament.
Honda practiced his sumo moves in the meditaiton part of the dojo while Ryu was outside on the lawn,doing his Super Hurricane Kick.

"Not only is Ken and Chun-Li gonna be there,but so will the thugs and asassins of the cartel known as Shadaloo,and the one called Bison as well. I must train hard to fight and destroy them all--before anyone else is hurt or killed by these villians."

While back in Tokyo,in a small apartment,the assassin named Nadji continued her training with her deadly spear batons.
She spun about and thrust them into the training dummy in front of her that had a picture of Ryu's face on it.

"I missed my first chance."she thought. "But I won't miss a second time,I will kill Ryu Hoshi and anyone who stands in my way!"
