The Street Fighters were taken aboard the same space-orbiting vessel that both Cammy and Charlie were both taken aboard earlier.

This time,they found themselves in an odd looking weapons supply room.

The floor was a solid green colored steel and the walls were amde of marble.

Upon the wall in front of them were weapons devised from both science and sorcery,especially some that were made specifically--for vampire killing!

Guineverre went up to a black and red utility belt and took it down from the rack.

"This belt,"she began. "contains deives commonly used for vampires.
There's garlic,there's a couple of crucifex blades,and some light shiner orbs I made for such an occasion.

There's also stakes,wooden and silver,and a few other bladed weapons to carve out a few nasty blooduckers."

"I also wish to ask any of you,"said Morrigan. "that if you wish to bail out of this now--then speak asap,if you're going to be in this,there's no turning back!"

The room was filled with a silence that lasted for a minute.
"I speak for everyone."said Ryu. "That we've made it clear that there's no turning back now."
"I agree."said Ken. "If it is our world that's in danger from these--monsters,then we'd better act fast."

"Whenever a threat to the world rises,so will the shadow of the Bushin."said Guy.
"Count us in as well,mate."said Dudley. "We don't intend to be hunted by any more of these bloodsuckers any longer."
"Yeah!"said Sean.
"You said it!"said Makoto.

"What the hell...?"said Sodom. "This might be something pretty exciting after all."

"You've got our support as well,Morrigan."said Charlie.
"For the moment."said Cammy. "We've also gotta rescue Chun-Li from that bastard before he deciedes to make a late night snack outta her."

"All righty then."said Morrigan."Guineverre,show our mateys what they would prefer to use."

Guineverre,D.Baine showed the street fighters what they were to use,some chose stakes and belts,some chose blade and hammer stake weapons as well as what was needed.

Within minutes,they were all suited up and ready.

"How do we look?"said Ken.
"Pretty--ridiculous,i'm afraid."said Morrigan. "But who am I to judge since it's a hunting we-will-go?"

"Now--what's next?"said Charlie.
"Now...?"said Guineverre. "Watch."

The hunter raised the fingers of her right hand,and the entire room turned pitch black.
Within the blink of an eye,they found themselves in a strange monitor and control room.

"Wow."said Sean. "I guess the ladies around here don't prefer to 'walk' to a seperate room."
"You can say that again."said Ken. "And this sure ain't the Enterprise that we're on."

Baine went up to the largest monitor that lay in front of her.
Waving a hand over the controls,the system hummed to life.

Upon the monitor lay the planet earth.
"Wow."said Makoto. "I never got to see earth from above before,it's beautiful."
"We all tend to take the beauty of our planet for granted my dear."said Dudley.

"Well,if we don't hurry it'll be a planet fit for vampires when Den is through."said Morrigan.

Baine punched in a set of coordinates and a different picture appeared on the screen.
It was the pic of a large ocean liner ship set up at San Fransisco bay docks.

It was called the S.S.MOONLIGHT.

"I remember hearing about that ship coming in just a few days ago."said Ken.
"It was supposed to belong to a rich entrepeneur that came in from a foreign country but---that's all I heard."

"Heard you did right,Ken Masters."said Guineverre. "It belongs to that of Den Maximov and aboard it,his entire entourage of minions,equipment and means of conquoring the planet are inside it."

"Found out that much eh?"said Dudley.
"Well what're waiting for?"said Sodom. "Let's go case the joint and kick every ass of vampire there is on there!"

"Not yet we do not!"said Baine. "Maximov would clearly be expecting us,we must find a proper way in so he won't detect us."

"And in case he does,those weapons we gave you,are the only real means of fighting back against them."said Morrigan.

"There's also another thing you must know."said Guineverre.
She activated another module and an image of a blood red sapphire in a gold necklace appeared on the screen.

"Is that--the Blood Stone?"said Ken.
"Right the first time."said Morrigan. "Yes,that is the same magical device that Dimitri had gotten from that hag and the nazis years ago."

"So...what kind of threat does it impose to the human race?"said Charlie.

Baine activated a computer scenario and an image of someone holding the blood stone to the moonlight as well as cauldron of blood.

"Once someone creates a stew of innocent and powerful blood that is mixed together,the blood stone must be placed within it. And once the moonlight shines upon it,an evil and powerful spell is created. And once that spell is cast,the entire earth shall be cast in a blood red blanket of evil magic.

And that magic is what will transform human beings---into vampire beings."

"Omigosh..."said Charlie. "...it's horrible!"
"We've got to stop him at all costs!"said Guy.

"By destroying the blood stone,we can stop Den's plan of conquest----and hopefully destroy Den himself with it!"said Guineverre.

"Well then."said Ryu. "When do we begin?"

WHILE ABOARD THE OCEAN LINER...

Den Maximov had also explained his plans to the still captiver Chun-Li.

"So that's what you had planned all along."she said. "You and your ilk joined the tournament to--find us out?"
"Of course."said Den. "Ryu and the rest of you are indeed brave and mighty warriors,worthy to join the ranks of my soon to be army of vamps. They shall become my generals,once I have transformed them--and the rest of the planet.

Then---the realm of where the Darkstalkers originated from---shall be next!"

"You're even madder than Bison himself!"said Li. "And if you think you'll get awy with this--you're demented as hell!"

"Only those who are mortal are the mad ones,Chun-Li."said Den. "Even Bison himself will not stop me!"
"And why exactly did you bring me here to begin with?"said Li.

"After what you did to poor Tana,"said Den. "I think a proper replacement for my Red Queen shall be in order."
"Red--Queen?"said Li. "Oh you've got to be kidding!"
"As the soon to be Black King,"said Den. "I never kid,HAHAHA!

And as for your fellow fighters,I anticipate that they will come sooner than you think. But now--I must see to it that my spell is to be completed."

While back outside on the docks,in a flash of light,the entire group of Street Fighters,and their trusted companions arrived.

"We're here?"said Makoto.
"Yes,we're here."said Guineverre. "And hopefully a not a moment too soon."

Laying ahead of them was the ocean liner ship where Den and the rest of his vampire minions were occupied in,the SS Moonlight.

"There,"said Morrigan pointing at the boat. "is the secret lair of our coomon enemy. We must find a way inside and destroy him once and for all."

"That may sound easy enough."said Cammy. "But the hard part is--getting aboard. I mean look,they've got no plankwalk for it right now."

"I can easily transport us in."said Baine. "But if we were all to go in together,Den would surely detect us by then,and ensnare us like flies.

No,it would seem that I must go aboard alone and try to access some way aboard."

"I'll go with you on this,Miss Baine."said Guy. "As a Bushin Ninja,I can get past any well guarded fortress."

"Very well."said Guineverre. "But best be on your gurad--at all costs!"

"Good luck Guy,"said Rose. "please be careful."
"I will."said Guy.

Guineverre placed a hand upon Guy's shoulder,and the pair of them disappeared in a flash of light.
"How many spells and stuff does she know?'said Cammy.
"As many as her reveered ancestor."said Morrigan. "If anyone can get through this--she can--and hopefully your ninja friend as well."

While inside the ship,both warriors were teleported inside the very ship.
They found themselves in one of the many corridors of the ship,complete with windows and doors.

"Seems like a regular ocen liner to me."said Guy.
"Den likes to keep a low profile when on business."said Baine. "Believe or not,the essense and appearance of his evil lays in the lower decks of this ship."

"Why am I not suprised?"said Guy smirking.
"Come."said Baine as she led the way.

The duo carefully trekked their way down through the deserted corridors,looking for any signs of anything peculiar.

Suddenly,the two heard a series of footsteps.
"It looks like we may be bound for some battle after all."said Guinevvere as she was about to draw her sword.
"No,wait!" said Guy. "If we try anything brash,he might detect us."

Guy looked around frantically for an open door,and found one just across from them.
"That way!"he said.

The pair bolted into the door,just a pair of black garbed and heavily armed guardsmen came marching through.

The duo found themselves in an empty storage room.

"Your resourcefulness as a Bushinryyu are quite extrordinary,Guy."said Baine. "I met your sensei and predecessor Master Zeku once just as he was searching for a worthy successor to his style.

"Thanks."said Guy. "But I sincerly hope a Dark Hunter like yourself has a more subtle way of getting to where we need to go from here on?"

"In a way yes."said Guineverre.
She drew out her sword,knelt down before it and began to chant a strange and eerie spell.
Her chanting was so soft spoken,Guy could barely hear it.

Then suddenly,her sword began to glow a soft green tone.
Once it was done,she rose her head to speak.

"I have just created a spell that conceals the presence of whoever is out and about on this ship,namely yourself.
What you must do is find and locate the control room of this ship,and let down the gangplank stairs to it,or at least some other way of getting the others onboard.

My spell will only last until someone finds me in here."

"All right..."said Guy. "...i'll do what I can."

"Good luck."said Guineverre.
"You as well."said Guy.

The Bushin then exited from the room and began to make his way through the confines of the ship.

While back outside,the rest of the gang continued to wait patiently.
Well,some of them waited patiently.

"Man,for a ninja,he's pretty damn slow!"said Sodom. "When's he and that hunter chick gonna get back here?"
"Silence your tongue,you cretinous dolt!"said Morrigan. "And my partner knows what she's doing."

"Yeah,and i'm sure that even you know how fast a ninja like him can be."said Charlie. "After all,you and the Gears fought him a few times."
"Don't start with the reminders okay,Nash?"said Sodom. "I just thought even Guy would've gotten in and out by now. I'm gettin'anxious to pound some more vampires!"

"I have to agree with the samurai for a change."said Sean. "Sooner we put the brakes on Dracula jr and his bloodsucker band,the better!"

"Have patience,comrades."said Ryu. "A true warrior must have patience in these situations."
"I agree but..."said Charlie. "...with Chun-Li in there,we need to get a move on asap."

Guy made his way through corridors that led to many rooms,the dining room,the recreation room,ball room and a few others.

He found several black garbed guardsmen guarding different perimiters of the rooms.
"This Den fellow must not be fond of--visitors."he thought. "Now where to find this control room."

Guy then came upon a deeper corridor that led to a few more doors.
"Hmmm..."he thought. "That might be where it's at."

Guy went up to the first door,opened it and found...

A room filled wooden coffins.
"Yikes..."he breathed and then shut the door.
"Must be the---sleeping quarters."he thought.

He opened another door and found...

A built in butcher shop filled with the remains and blood covered carcasses of both humans and animals.

Guy pinched his nose to keep from inhaling the stench.
"Uuughh...!"he replied and the shut the door. "....these are definitely blood and meat eaters we're dealing with here!"

Guy then found one last room.
"What could lay beyond this one I wonder?"he thought. "A masochists torture room?"

Guy took a deep breath,grabbed the handle of the door,opened it and found...

A simple control room.

He then breathed a sigh of relief,thankful for what he had finally found.

"Okay then."he thought. "Let's get this hunt underway."

Guy looked over at the controls,trying to figure out what to do.
He then saw a lever that was marked gangplank.

"Ah,this must be it."he thought.
He gripped the red handle,pulled it down,and a soft rumbling sound was heard.

Suddenly,while in Den's private quarters,he heard what was happening.
"What on earth...?"he said.

One of his servmaids looked out the window.
"My lord!"she said. "The gangplank is lowering onto the docks!"

"WHAT?!"he said enraged. "THIS CAN'T BE!"
Den looked out one of the windows and saw his enemies out there,preparing to lay seige.

"No!"he said. "Not now!
How could they have---of course---mother and that dark hunter lackey of hers! They must have found a way on board.
Well...two can certainly play at this game---oh yes."

The rest of the gang ran up the gangplank stairs and found themselves aboard the surface deck of the ship.
"Okay,we're here,now what?"said "Where do we get in?"

"Just stay cool,my disciple."said Ken. "Once we hear from Guy and Guineverre,we'll know where to get in."

Den was watching his sworn enemies on a camera monitor.
"And while you wait,i'll see what I can do about some---entertainment for you,HAHAHA!"

The vampire activated some controls that were below the screen.

While outside,something was about to happen.

Sean was the first to see it as a secret door opened near the swimming pool deck.
"Hey,guys!"he said. "Something's comin'up!"

"What?"said Ryu.
A platform began to come up and a group of dark clad figures came up.
They were dressed in traditional ninja costume and armed with arm long katana blades.

"Heads up gang."said Ryu. "Looks like this about to get ugly."

While back in the depths of the ship,Guy ran back through the corridors at Bushin speed.
"I've gotta get back to Guineverre and help the others before those vampires find them aboard!"
