Ryu and Den continued to tangle with one another on the floor of the tattered remains of the battle ring.

The Shotokan fired a Hadouken at Den,but the vampire being jumped straight at over and thrust at him with an elbow strike!

Ryu dodged the elbow and slammed a hard punch to Den’s ribs!
“UNNF—good,very good.”he said. “You’re a better challenge than I anticipated or imagined. But—you’ll soon see that I am no mere fighter myself!”

Den then jumped away and then charged at Ryu with superhuman speed,slamming him head-on with his shoulder and then uppercutting him in the chin!

“UGGH!”went Ryu as he fell backwards and onto the floor.

“You’re mine!”said Den as he leapt into the air and brought down a fierce axe kick.

Ryu saw it comingand then back-flipped away from the spot,just as Den’s hard hell came crashing down into the floor!
“KRAKK!”

“Man,that could’ve been me!”he thought.
Den then got back to his feet and went for another attack.

“CHAOS FLARE!”he said anda red fireball from his hands.
“HADOUKEN!”said Ryu as he fired another fireball.

But just as the two fireballs collided,Ryu’s Hadouken was shattered and the flare flew straight at him.
“YOW!”said Ryu as he ducked to the floor.

“KRRUNNCH!”
A whole section of wall was blown apart from the blast.

Den laughed wickedly.
“Your powers of ki and technique may have always been formidable against the likes of Sagat,Bison and even that fool Gill.”he said. “But you face otherwordly power straight from a true Darkstalker!”

Ryu arched an eyebrow in question to Den’s comment.
“And if you don’t know what that is,”he said. “you’ll find out soon enough---before you die!

But it would be appreciated if you could put on more of a challenge while we’re at it.”

Ryu growled in rage.
“I’ll show that we humans aren’t livestock for him to mow down for their entertainment or power!”he thought as he got up and got back into his fight stance.

While in the weight room,R.Mika and Rango were still busy grappling with one another.
Mika thrust her Shooting Peach at the vamp wrestler,but Rango simply slapped it away,causing her to fall to the floor.

“Ow…”she replied rubbing her rotund bottom. “Hey watch it with the hands pal!”

“Heh-heh!”said Rango. “Just feeling..playful mate. But your bottom pride is the least of your worries me little chickadee.”

Mika got back to her feet,ready for another round,vowing to put the stops on her ferocious and hideous opponent once and for all!

The blonde woman then made her next move as she ran and jumped right over Rango,allowing her to be directly behind him.

Before Rango could react to what was happening,Mika grabbed ahold of him by the waist and then pulled him backwards in a super german suplex,slamming his back on the floor—HARD!

“WHAMM!”

Mika then let loose of him and jumped back to her feet.
“Yeah—beat that!”she said.

But to her surprise,Rango got back up himself,and rubbed at his back.
“Not bad mate.”he said. “If I was a mortal,I’d be out cold. But too bad fer you,I ain’t no mortal-Heh-heh-heh…”

Mika growled in anger. “I’m not going down without a fight,fang-face!”she said.
“Good to hear,”he said. “resistance gives the blood a little more—spice to it!”
 

While in the locker room,Makoto and Jun began with their little donnybrook.

The junior vampire in a black chinese hook shirt and matching pants made the first as she sprinted forward and landed a stinging hand chop to Makoto’s left side.

“NNGH!”went the young fighter as she staggered back and clutched her side in pain.
“Hey,no fair!”she said. “I wasn’t ready!”
“Don’t expect me to be fair miss tom boy!”said Juno. “If I was still human,this would be an honorable match as any other. But I intend to win for my dark lord Maximon and savor your blood and ki essence!”

“Maximon…?”thought Makoto. “She must mean that Den guy Well,I’d better concetrate on the fight,before I become a vampire’s dinner!”

Makoto got into her fight stance,ready for anything this time.

Juno grinned and made another move.

She sprinted at Makoto and did a flying roundhouse kick.

Makoto ducked it and as soon as Juno landed on her feet,Makoto made her own move.

She did an overhead chop and struck her hard in the neck!
Makoto then landed a thrust kick in Juno’s back,causing her to fall forward and up against the locked door of the room.

Juno spun around and was about to retaliate,but before she could,Makoto did her thrusting Justice fist and punched Juno right in the chest.

“WHAMM!”went Juno’s head as it bounced it against the dooor.

Makoto then slammed several thrust punches at Juno’s chest and abdomen,knowing she had her pinned.

But before she could deliver any further punishement,Juno simply backhanded her in the face,swatting her away.

“UUGH!”
Makoto landed on the carpeted floor with a thud.
“Nice try,girly.”she said. “But you’re as they say—outta your league!”

“Everyone’s in a league of there own,blood-breath!”said Makoto as she arose from the floor. “I’m gonna give you the biggest ass-kicking you ever felt!”

“We’ll see…”said Juno. “YAAAHH!”
The vampire fighter thrust at Makoto yet again.

While back in another part of the civic center…

Ken and Ted continued to deck it out for the right to live.

Ken slammed Ted with two punches to the chest and then slammed a knee in his gut.

Ted retaliated with a roundhouse kick,but Ken managed to duck it and then was about to do a powerful Shoryureppa to Ted’s chin.

But as he thrust uppward,Ted caught him by the wrist and threw up and over his shoulder in true Judo fashion.

“UUNNNF!”
Ken fell to the cold marble floor.

“You’re good Ken,”said Ted. “but I’ve been doing this a lot longer than you have. Surrender may be your only option.”

“What,so I can become a bloodsucker like you?”said Ken as he jumped back to his feet. “As if!”
“I’m afraid you have no choice.”said Ted. “Just don’t say I didn’t warn you!”

The two warriors continued to trade blows with each other through the shadows of the hall.

Ken then threw another Dragon Punch at Ted,but as he did,the judo caught his arm and threw him over his shoudler again,this time up against the wall.

“MAN!”said Ken. “I can see why you did this a lot longer than me or Ryu did.”

Ted grinned. “You were always good Ken,”said Ted. “but I’ve twice the experience,vampire or not. So if you wanna live,you keep fighting!”

Ken scrambled to his feet.
“You bet I will!”said Ken. “Or uh—die trying.”

While back aboard the Darkstalker’s spaceship…..

Charlie Nash continued to fight it out with the creature known as Bestial,even though the monster’s own fight moves were far different from Charlie’s,he still found a hard battle on his hands.

The air force soldier thrust at Bestial and hit him in the gut with a Knee Bazooka.

Bestial just grunted it off and swung his axe at him again.

Charlie ducked it and went for another attack.

He jumped upward at Bestial and did a hard Flash Kick to his chin.

“UNNNGH!”
went Bestial as he was momentarilly stunned.

“NOW!”said Charlie as he jumped at Bestial’s axe.

With one swift and hard hand chop he disarmed the beast of his weapon.

Charlie then did a thrust kick,knocking Bestial backwards.

“I’ve de-fanged you,so to speak,buddy!”said Charlie. “Care for more?”

Bestial roared fiercely like an enraged lion and then leapt high into the air.

“Whoa boy!”said Charlie. “Well,I’m not gonna let anything about him intimidate me. He’s just another thug….non-human,but another thug nonetheless.”

Charlie jumped to safety,just as the beast’s massive clawed fists came crashing down upon the ground.

“Alright pal.”said Charlie. “It’s time to put you to sleep.”

But before Charlie could do another move,Bestial lunged at him,lashing out his fierce claws.

Charlie got slashed right on the right shoulder by them as well.

“AAARRR!”cried Charlie as he fell on one knee.

“Man,he-he’s faster than I thought!”he said.

Morrigan chuckled.
“When Bestial becomes enraged,his speed starts to really kick in.”she said. “So unless you think of a better strategy,you’re raw meat between his teeth.”

“Bastards!”thought Cammy. “C’mon Charlie,you can do this!”

“Man,I wonder how Ryu and the others are doing on earth?”
