Bison charged up his two most powerful blast beams from his hands and fired them at Ryu and Sheng.

Ryu jumped for cover while Sheng shadow-teleported away.

"You cannot win against us,Bison!"said Sheng. "Surrender!"
"I never surrender!"said Bison and fired again.

Sheng jumped over the blast and threw a giant fireball at the villian.

But Bison teleported away from the blast,causing the fireball to smash into another set of controls.

Bison then re-appeared in front of Ryu and did a Psycho Crusher.
"DIE!"he said.
Ryu leapt right over Bison,and fired a Shinku Hadouken at him,blasting him in the back!

Bison tumbled and fell to the floor from Ryu's shot.

While back in the lab,Ken,Li,and Nadji awoke from their momentary nap.

"Ughhh!"said Li as she rubbed her head.
"That bastard Bison,talk about your dirty blows."
"He's obviously not human."said Nadji. "Otherwise he wouldn't be able to do the things he did."
"You don't say."said Ken.

Li then grabbed Nadji by the shirt and shoved her against the wall.
"And why excatly should we trust you to begin with?"she said.
"Please--I am sorry for attacking your friend back at the tournament,but I was clearly wrong,that clone I killed..he was the one who killed my father--and Bison was obviously the one behind it."

"Come on Li."said Ken. "She made good on her word when she and sensei freed us. We need all the help we can get."
"All right then."said Li. "But no tricks now--or you'll be the one to get that spear stuck in your wishbone!"
"I get the picture---now come on!"

The trio scurried to find Bison.

While Bison himself arose and fired again at the two heroes he was sworn to kill.

"NO ONE SHALL DEFEAT BISON!"he roared. "NO ONE!"
He blasted his Psycho Bolts all over the place.

"He's obviously mad."said Sheng,while he and Ryu hid behind some control decks.
"No doubt,"said Ryu.

Suddenly,Bison fired a bolt in the direction of the where the pilot was and blasted a hole into his back,killing him instantly.
"GAAAGHH!"

"NO!"said Bison as he flew over to the controls.
"I shall not go down so easily and with my ship!"

Bison set the ship for automatic controls.

Just as he did,Ryu and Sheng saw their chance and fired off a Double Shin Hadouken at the murderer.

"WHAAAMM!"

Bison was hit so hard,he was thrown across the floor.

And just in time for Nadji and the others to show up.

"Hey,we're just in time for the party!"said Ken.

"Good,you're all here."said Ryu.

Bison then arose,his eyes and body glowed a bright hot red.
"I--SHALL--DESTROY YOU ALL!"

But just as he was about to really cut loose,someone emerged from the shadows and grabbed him from the back.

"Hey,who's...?"said Ken.
"No,not here--not now!"said Sheng.

The stranger then unleashed a strange furry of punch moves and a white blast of light suddenly appeard when he did it.
"WHAKWHAKWHAKWHAK--KRAAAKK!"

When it was over,Bison fell on his knees and to the floor and his hat rolled off his head ,his body wracked with multiple blows and his neck broken.

At last,the king of Chaos M.Bison,was now dead.

"Who did that?"said Ryu.
"I did."said a voice.

Standing before them was a five foot tall man dressed in a karate gi similar to Ryu and Ken's except his was a dark grey.
He also wore red grip gloves,a rope for a belt,sandals and a thick beaded necklace.

His face was wrinkled with a hard evil tone and his eyes glowed a bright red and his hair was spiked upward like a flower with a ponytail that sprouted upward.

Sheng Long recognized him instantly.
"So..you have come at last--Gouki"said Sheng.

"Gouki?"said Sheng. "Is he--your brother you told me about,sensei?"said Ryu.
"Yes,sadly so."said Sheng.
"I--am known as--Akuma now."said the man. "And I have done what you weaklngs were unable to do--kill this troublesome gnat to begin with."

"You didn't have to kill him."said Ken. "We were gonna capture him and throw his ass in jail when it was over."
Li was too stunned to speak,seeing what had happened.

"And if you did,he would have returned to trouble you."said Akuma.
"But--that is the least of your troubles right now."

"What do you mean?"said Ryu.
"I intend to fight you..Ryu!"said Akuam. "The one who won the tournament--I shall fight and kill you!"
"Be reasonable,brother."said Sheng. "This ship may be on automatic,but it could crash and kill us."

Akuma smiled and then fired a hadouken bolt from left hand,destroying the controls.
"NO!"said Nadji."YOU FOOL!"

"FACE ME NOW,RYU HOSHI!"said Akuma. "And we may yet live."
"Very well!"said Ryu.

"No,Ryu!"said Sheng. "You may not be ready to face such a greater evil. If anyone is to do away with my brother--let it be I once again."

"Sensei."said Ryu.
"Take the others and find a smaller aircraft and get out with your lives."said Sheng.
"But what about you?"said Ryu.
"Fear not,Ryu."said Sheng. "I shall return as well---one day. Now go!"

Ryu ran over to the others and joined them.
"I think we'd better do as the great one says."said Nadji. "Come on."

Ryu took one last look at his master before running off into the corridor.

Sheng removed his cloak,revealling his light brown karate gi clothes that also had a set of thick beads around his neck.
"Just like before,eh Sheng?"said Akuma. "No matter,I shall kill you and then Ryu is next."
"You're about as self-deluded as Bison himself was."said Sheng. "If I am to die--you shall join me!"

The heroes managed to find a small hangar containing some aircrafts.
There,Nadji pointed out and found a small plane that could hold four people at least.

"Anyone know how to fly this thing then?"said Ken.
"My father taught me how to pilot a small plane once,i'll try."said Li.
"Hoo boy."said Ken. "If ain't one thing,it's another."

The four got into the plane and Li went over the controls.
"Hey,what about the bay doors?"said Ryu. "We gotta open them first."

Li found a button that said BAY DOORS and pressed it.

It then opened and Li managed to start the plane,and took off into the open air.

"Sensei..."said Ryu.
"There's nothing we can do,Ryu."said Ken. "Just pray he makes it out after he kills that--that demon."

While back in the control room,Sheng and Akuma battled it out with each other.

"You shall not win,Long!"said Akuma. "I am much stronger than I am before!"
"You shall share the same fate as Bison in the end,that I promise you!"said Sheng.

They both slammed their fists then legs into one another,causing loud crackling and thunderous noises.

Akuma then fired a Go Hadouken into Sheng's chest,knocking the master to the floor.
He then jumped up and fired an air Hadou down at Sheng,but he then back-flipped to his feet just as the fireball went through the floor and caused an eruption of fire.

Sheng then launched upward and decked Akuma with a hard Dragon Punch!

While back outisde,the air ship began to fall towards a set of hills.

And right behind it and the small airship was a trio of jet fighters being led by Capt.Guile himself!

"What-what's going on?"said Guile. "It looks like the plane is on fire and is about to crash!"

While back in the control room,Sheng Long and Akuma were gripped into a tight arm lock with each other.
"You shall die,brother!"said Akuma. "Starting now!"
"If--I am to die--so shall you!"said Sheng as his eyes glowed a bright green and his body glowed a bright yellow white.
"WHAT--NO!"said Akuma,he knew what Sheng was about to do,unleash his own full power.

Once that happened,the control room and entire front of the ship exploded and crashed down into the hills.

"KRASSSH--KABOOOM!"

It was at last over,Bison and no doubt Shadaloo was no more.

Guile saw the small aircraft and saw Chun-Li was piloting it.
"Sonuvagun!"said Guile. "They're all right."

Minutes later,the planes all landed near the hills and a reconnaisance team was sent to sort out the mess.

But there were still some loose ends to sort out.
