Ryu,Chun-Li,and Honda continued their way across the city streets as the Shadaloo military enforcer named Duke continued and his men continued to chase after them.

“STOP IN THE GLORIOUS NAME OF THE MASTER!”shouted Duke. “STOP OR WE SHOOT!”

“Bison’s name—glorious?”said Chun-Li. “How butt-kissing can they can get?”
“When you’ve got an impressive amount of money and power,goons like that’ll do anything ya tell them.”said Honda.

Duke then aimed his assault rifle at the trio,but before he could,Tung Lo came flying down at the trio of goons with a drop kick,knocking them all down to the ground.

“No one will inflict any harm upon Ryu and Chun-Li while I’m around!”he said in fighting pose.
Duke jumped to his feet,and was mad as hell from the assault.
“Okay baldy---you asked plenty for it!”he said. “Men—continue after Ryu and the others—I’ll take care of Brucie here.”

The two black suited goons took off for their quarry as the two titans faced off against each other.

“Prepare to face the might of Shaolin Kung-fu!”said Tung. “IIIYAAAHH!”
Duke spat at the ground and got in fighting pose,similar to Guile’s and the fight began.

Tung did a thrust roundhouse kick at Duke.
The commando simply ducked it and did a rise knee into Tung’s abdomen.

Tung felt the air get pressed out of him and staggered backwards from the blow.
“Unnf---this may be—harder than I thought it would.”he thought. “But…a Shaolin monk never retreats from battle!”
Duke then lunged at Tung,and did a series of boxing punches.
Tung with just a few waves of his hand,blocked them off and did a lunge punch at Duke’s face!
Duke staggered slightly in pain. “So…you fight better than you dress huh?” he said. “Well then,this should be pretty interesting!”

While up ahead on the sidewalk,Ryu and his friends attempted to subdue their hunters.
“Honda---grab those cans and take the garbage to them!”said Ryu.
“Gotcha!”said Honda as he grabbed the first heavy garbage in an alley next to them and hurled it at the pair of goons.

The goon on the right was knocked down by the can and fell across the pavement.
The second thug ran straight at the trio of fighters and began firing at them.

Ryu and co.ran into the alley just as the gunfire came flying at them.
Honda then pushed the second garbage can out,causing it to roll straight at the goon.

The thug dodged it and came across the alley and entered it,but when he got there,the alley was empty.
“Hey—where’d everybody go?”he said out loud.
“RIGHT HERE!”said a voice from above.

The gunman looked up and saw Chun-Li coming straight down at him in a flying drop kick.
“UNNGH!” the thug was hit right in the left cheek and fell to the ground.

Once that was done,both Ryu and Honda ran up to the man.
Ryu took his Uzzi pistol and broke the barrel apart with his bare hands!

Honda took the thug,brought him high into the air and threw him down into another of the empty garbage cans.

“KRASH!”
The thug was out cold from being slammed and shoved into the can,for now their threat was over with.

But a mile or so ahead of them,fighting near another alley,both Tung Lo and Duke continued to deck it out.
Tung did a rush punch at Duke,striking him in the chest.

“UNF—I’LL SHOW YA!”he said as he went into another attack.
“BASHER BALL!”he shouted.

The Shadaloo commando threw his right fist up into the air and threw a bright yellow ball of chi energy that crashed right into Tung’s chin.

“UNNF!”went Tung as he fell backwards and onto the pavement.
The monk sommersaulted backwards and was back on his feet again---just as Duke went into another attack.

“YAAAAAHH!”cried Duke as he swung his left foot out at Tung.
Tung dodged away from the kick just as Duke slammed his boot into a nearby stop sign,denting it in two!

Tung kept on the defense.
“He is truly a fearsome opponent.”thought Tung. “I will have to break out some of my more powerful moves for this.”

Tung placed both hands forward in open palms and shifted both of his feet to the right in a sort of strange fight stance.

“Huh—check you out,mr.David Carridine.”joked Duke grinning.”Well…whatever ya got—it ain’t gonna work on me!”

Duke ran straight at Tung,but before he knew it Tung went into a wild attack.
Tung slammed both of his palms into Duke’s chest,stunning him with an open chi force blow.
Duke was momentarilly stunned giving Tung the moment he needed to execute the rest of the attack.

Tung rotated both of his hands into chop motions and did a Double chop at both sides of Duke’s neck.
“GLKK!”replied Duke in intense pain.
Tung then spun his body around and thrust out a fierce energized stab kick that sent Duke flying across the sidewalk and crashed up against a mail box.

Tung raised both of his arms in the air in a crane motion,signifying his victory.
“My first real opponent in the outside world.”he thought. “That would be good,but…my real targets still elude me. I must find and defeat them.”

Tung then ran off for where Ryu and the others ran off to.

While back in another part of town,Dee Jay,Dhalsim,and Fei Long were still searching for the others.
“Mon,we’ve been searching for hours and no sign of anybody familiar.”said DJ.
“Keep searching.”said Dhalsim. “They are sure to be here—I can sense their chi energies.”
“So you say mr.witch doctor.”said DJ. “But there be many people here in any city,you may be sensing someone else’s jive.”

“One chi such as Ryu’s is a truly strong one.”said Dhalsim. “Hopefully,we will find him out.”

Suddenly,a black limo pulled up in front of the trio,blocking their path.
“Hey,what’s this?”said Fei.

Both doors opened and several street gang thugs as well as more black suited Shadaloo terrorists came out,brandishing automatic weapons.

“Trouble dat’s what this is!”said DJ.
A black man dressed in a yellow tank top,black jeans and sneakers came out,leading the gang.
“Okay holmes.”said the man. “You is under house arrest of the great Shadaloo---and I you’re host Zacko Lambery—is here to take you to the big boss man.”

“Shadaloo?”said Fei. “You mean Bison?”
“He be the one yes.”said Zacko. “However,since I’m also a fellow street fighter and kickboxer—I’m gonna give ya’ll a sporting chance. If any one of ya has the stones to face me in one on one street combat right here and right now---we is to let ya go free. Cause I wanna see how good fighters like ya’ll is that ma boss Bison is chasing.”

DJ stepped forward.
“Kickboxer huh?”said DJ. “Okay mon,ya got a deal.”
“Are you serious here DJ?”said Fei. “These guys mean bad business.”

“So do I mon.”said DJ flexing his muscles. “I ain’t never took on an american kickboxer in a long time—and they say if I win,we go free right?”
“Somehow I doubt they’ll keep their word.”said Fei.
“I agree with Fei Long.”said Dhalsim worried. “These are thugs not honorable warriors we deal with.”

“Ah,you worry too much mon,I’ll show ya.”said DJ as he approached Zacko.
“So,you a fellow kickee thee then huh?”said Zacko.
“Only da best there is from Jamaica mon.”said DJ. “Dey call me---Da southern comet.”

“Well lodey-freakin’da!”said Zack. “Boys—grab me my gloves.”

One of the goons reached into the limo and pulled out a red pair of bright blue boxing gloves.
He handed them to Zacko and he put them both on.

Zacko got into a fighting stance similar to Sagat’s and was ready to fight.
DJ got into his fight stance and was ready to do so as well.

Suddenly,some people near some of the shop saw what was happening and went to take a closer look.
“Hey—we got street fights goin’on.”said one of the patrons.
“Man,we been seeing a lot of that lately.”said another.

“You ready to—crumble man?”said Zacko.
“Just bring it on mon---BRING IT ON!”said DJ.

The fight began and the two kickboxers began to hop around at each other,looking like a regular boxing match.

Zacko did the first move,a typical high kick,DJ swatted it away,then Zacko did a low kick,DJ swatted it away also.

Zacko then charged at DJ and did a jump roundhouse on his opponent.
DJ simply ducked it and came up at Zacko doing an upper spin kick.

“Hey—hey—hey!”said DJ as he spun his body around in mid-air and did three spin kikcs right into his Zacko’s abdomen.

“UNNGH—OFF!” Zacko fell to the ground from DJ’s attack.
“How do ya like dat—HA!”said DJ grinning.
Zacko growled furiously at his enemy.
“You were lucky once—but not again!”he said as he got up.

The fight went on as the two kickers traded blows with each other.
DJ threw his Max Out projectile,but Zacko dodged it and came at DJ with a rushing knee move in the gut!

DJ yelped in pain,giving Zacko the edge he needed as he then grabbed DJ by the back of his head and then brought his face down on Zacko’s knee several times and then did a high kick right in the head!

DJ fell to the ground in pain.
“DJ—NO!”said Fei as he was about to lunge at Zacko,but Dhalsim pulled him back with his elastic arms.
“No Fei—don’t!”he said. “These men are armed and the situation will worsen if we try anything!”

“But---!”said Fei in protest.
“We’ll be useles to DJ if we’re dead.”said Dhalsim.
“Don’t sweat it—bruce.”said Zacko. “You’ll be next after I finish mister rastae man here.”

While back across the other side of town,Zangief had awoken from his’nap’and looked around the area.

“Mmmmmm…Zangief was out for awhile.”he thought. “But on the behalf of mother russia and president Gorbachov,I shall bring Shadaloo to justice.”

Zangief then exited from the area,but not before the Taek Won Do fighter named Bael Hoswang saw him from the shadows.

“That was---Zangief!”he thought. “I saw him in action once on TV,when he wrestled a huge grizzly bear. What’s he doing here in LA? He—he might be searching for Ryu and Ken then. Maybe—if I follow him—he might take me to those I search for.”

DJ was slowly but surely trying to get back up from the blows inflicted to him by Zacko.
“C’mon DJ—get up!”said Fei encouraging him. “Don’t let this second rate scumbucket beat you!”

Zacko danced around the fallen DJ.
“Who’s the best kickboxer here—mon?”joked Zacko. “You been smoking too much of that weed blend if ya ask me.”

Suddenly,before Zacko knew it,DJ came up at him with his machine gun uppercut both right in the abdomen and then in the chin!

“AAARRR—UNNH!”replied Zacko as he was knocked backwards from the rapid-fire.
“Hah—he was just playing possum on that guy!”said Fei. “Go get ‘em DJ!”

Zacko jumped back to his feet and attacked again with a flying kick,DJ blocked it off and then slammed another Max Out blast into the chest.

“DREAD CARNIVAL!”said DJ as he went into his most powerful attack.
DJ thrust two knee strikes into Zack’s stomach and then finished him off with a hard roundhouse to the face!

Zacko fell up against the side of the limo and sank to the ground.

“Yeah, mon!”said DJ raising both fists in the air in victory. “No one beats da southern comet—NOBODY YEAH!”

Zacko rubbed at his chin and slowly got up from the spot.
“You sunova---shoot’em!he said. “Shoot’em all dead!”

“Hey!”said DJ. “You said---“
“I told ya gangster scum can’t be trusted!”said Fei.

Suddenly,before anyone could act,a strange creature came out of nowhere and landed on the top of the limo.

“Hey—look!”said one of the gangsters.
A man with green skin and orange hair was atop the car,he hunched over and had a seriously animilistic look in his eyes.

“SHOOT THAT—THAT THING!”said Zacko.
But before they could,Blanka unleashed his electricity power,causing the entire limo to condcut his zaps and jolted the entire Shadaloo hit squad in an intense shock!

“YAAAAAAHHH!”screamed Zacko and the thugs in a flash of bright yellow light.

Once it was over,the group of thugs were on the ground and out cold.
Blanka stepped down from the limo to greet the other fighters.

“Yo mon----!”said DJ. “Who you be?”
“Blanka.”said Dhalsim. “We meet again.”

“So we do Dhalsim.”said Blanka. “Forgive my not introducing myself—they call me Blanka.”
“I’m afraid we’ll have to exchange pleasantries later my friends.”said Dhalsim. “I hear police sirens and we must continue our search for Ryu and Ken.”

The now quartet of fighters ran across the street and into the crowd of onlookers.
Blanka simply roars,scaring away many folks.

“Cool man!”said a kid with a red skateboard. “Are they shooting another action movie around here?”
“Some people have no grasp on reality these days.”said Dhalsim frowning.
“What’d ya expect from life in Hollywood mon?”said DJ.

While back in another part of town,Ryu,Chun-Li and Honda ran back across to the beach and there saw three other fighters waiting there on the boardwalk. It was Guile,Cammy and T.Hawk.

“Guile…?”said Chun-Li. “Captain Guile?”
“Chun-Li Xiang.”said Guile. “Been a while.”
“Friends of yours?”said Ryu.

“When I first applied for Interpol,I met Guile who was working some angles for cases against Shadaloo.”said Li. “He’s an air force pilot and a darn good fighter himself.”

Ryu extended his hand to Guile,but Guile instead commented.
“You know a lot of people are looking for you.”said Guile. “And in doing so,causing a lot of trouble.”
“Who taught you manners white man?”said Hawk standing beside him. “Fascist leaders?”

Hawk grasped Ryu’s hand.
“It’s an honor to meet the current World Warrior champion of the last tournament.”he said. “I’ve admired you for some time---and even fought Ken once.”

“You fought him once huh?”said Ryu. “Something tells me you didn’t succeed.”
Hawk laughed. “I didn’t,but I learned a lot a lot from that fight in order to get better. I’m also sorry to hear what’s happened as well…but we’re here to help any way we can.”

“Here,here Hawk.”said Cammy. “And I’m LT.Cammy White from Delta Red in England,here to search for Ken and any signs of Shadaloo activity.”

“And we’ve gotten plenty of it at that.”said Guile. “We just ran into Balrog and some user-unfriendly goons.”
“You ran into Balrog?”said Chun-Li. “Where is he?”
“Down at the local police station.”said Hawk. “He’s being grilled right now by the authorities,but…I don’t think he’s gonna crack,let alone sing…about anything.”

“At least we have a prisoner.”said Guile. “As for Ken….we looked around at this area..and found some blood under the docks.”

“You did?”said Ryu. “Tell me,anything else?”
“Nothing else really I’m afraid.”said Cammy. “But we’ll keep searching.”

“I think I also may know of a place that we can stop and talk for a bit about this.”said Guile. “C’mon.”

But unbeknownst to Ryu and co.they were being watched by another of Shadaloo’s opeartives. A man in a dark trenchcoat and hat with shades witnessed the whole meeting and was reporting to his master---Bison himself.

“This is agent Nightshade.”said the agent as he spoke into a radio communicator.”Lord Bison—I have spotted Ryu and Chun-Li. They are headed north by northwest to a secret location—shall I follow them?”

“By all means Nightshade.”said Bison who was seated at his main control room desk. “And when you learn of their location—alert me at once.”

“Yes my lord.”said Nightshade. The agent then put away his radio and silently crept off after his quarry.

Minutes later,Guile and the others arrived on the edge of town near the beaches in a two story building with grey bricks and a red roof on it.

“This is one of the military safe houses we use in case of emergencies.”said Guile as he walked up to one of the bricks and revealled a secret panel in it.
He pressed a secret code on it and the two brown wood double doors automatically opened.

“Inside,everyone.”said Guile.
Ryu and the others walked inside,and once Guile looked to see if the coast was clear,he went inside and locked the doors behind him.
If only he knew of the little roach that followed them.

Nightshade took out his walkie-talkie and spoke into it.
“I have found their location my lord.”he said. “They’re in a secret safehouse on the edge of town across second and main street of Hollywood blvd.”

“Excellent.”said Bison. “I will dispatch some of my best men there—wait until they have arrived.”

The warlord then arose from his seat,an evil grin spread across his face.
“So…it has finally come to this.”he thought.
He then turned to a nearby training room and found Sagat still training in there.

“Sagat…!”he said.
The Thai turned to his master,a bloodthirsty look in his eye.
“We have at last found Ryu…it is at last time.”he said to Sagat.
Sagat raised both fists high into the air. “AT LAST!” he said. Sagat then turned to the sandbag and slammed his left fist right into it,smashing straight through,causing sawdust to pour out of it’s side.

Some of the fighters were gahtered together for the time being,but others were still across the city,trying to find the ones they were searching for—all the while,Bison’s forces were about to close in on Ryu and Chun-Li and a deadly and unavoidable confrontation was about to take place.

Can Ryu Hoshi and the Street Fighters defeat Bison just as they did with his other lackeys—or will they find an even stronger fight on their hands?
