Ryu and the others were very close to Den Maximov's front door,unfortunately for them they had a slight..problem with a pecuiliar pair of doormen.
A pair of female vampires,standing about seven feet tall each with gargoyle grey skin,long bat-like wings,fiersome talons and fangs with blood red eyes were both prepared to do away with their master's intruders.

"You want our master?"said Bloodspill,the vampire on the left. "Then you go through us first!"
"Yes,if you dare mortals!"said Bloodlust,the vampire on the right. "Otherwise,the line ends here!"

"We've fought your masters,'creations'and escaped with our lives you whoreseome horrors!"said Dudley aiming his crossbow.
"That's right,mates!"said Cammy aiming her rifle. "Bring-it-on!"

"I gotta admit,as exciting it's been,it's gotta end here tonight."said Ken.
"I feel the same."said Ryu. "We've destroyed Den's vampire minions before,but I have a gut feeling these two won't be as easy."

The pair of vamps then flew straight at Ryu and the others.
Cammy aimed her salt rock rifle,and fired.

"BLAMM!"
But as the pellets of magic salt rock flew at the two vampires,Bloodlust simply swatted the two pellets aside as if they were just flies.

"Aw no..."said Cammy annoyed.
"Allow me."said Dudley.

Dudley fired several well-placed arrows at the two monsters,but the projectiles simply bounced off their hard grey skin.
"Uh...well...at least no one can't say I didn't try,heh-heh."he said.

"Stay back."said Charlie as he and Ken went up front to subdue the vamps.

"SONIC BOOM!"
"HADOUKEN!"
The two blond-haired warriors fired off their projectiles at the creatures.

The ki projectiles hit the two vamps full in the face!
"AAAAARGGHH---WE"RE BLINDED!"screamed Lust.
"DAMN HUMANS!"said Spill.

"All right,that should keep'im still for us to move in!"said Charlie."C'mon!"

The Street Fighters then moved in,brandishing their weapons to try and do away with their opponents.
But just as they moved in close enogh,the vamps then unleashed their fury on the fighters.

Bloodlust shoulder-rammed Ryu and the first half of the crew,knocking them down to the floor.
While Ken and the other half tried to fight them off.

Charlie whipped out his own crossbow and fired at Spill,but the arrows simply bounced off their wings and skin.
Guy then jumped into the frey and did a spin kick into the monster's head three times.

"WHAKWHAKWHAK!"
But as he landed back on his feet,the vamp was still standing.
"Nice try,ninja."she said.
Spill then punched Guy,causing him to fly across the hall and land against a door.

"GUY!"said Sodom."Ya dirty bitch---YAAAHHH!"

Sodom swung his stake hammer at the vamp,but Spill simply caught it,and shattered the end of it into a thousand splintered pieces.
"HEY!"he said.

She then backfisted Sodom,causing him to fall to the floor,hard.

Ryu got back up and fired a Hadouken at Lust.
The vampire saw it coming and shielded herself with her wings.

"Your efforts are futile,and worthless!"she said. "Surrender,or die!"
"Never!"said Ryu. "It'll be a cold day in hell before that happens!"

Ryu then charged up for an even bigger Hadouken blast,but before he could do it,Bloodlust grabbeed Ryu by the back of his right shoulder and threw him up against the wall.

"OOOF!"he went.
"RYU!"said Ken. "Damn,this is getting us nowhere!"

Ken jumped at Bloodspill,and launched his hardest and most powerful Shoryreppa!

"KA-POW!"
Spill was hit in the face and chin really hard.
Once she was open,Ken then did a spin kick thrust into the monster's chest,knocking it across the floor.

Once the monster was down,Guy came down upon Bloodspill with one of his cross blades.

The blade hit the area where the heart was and pierced the skin so hard,it managed to sink right through and pierce the vamp's heart!

"GRRAAAAAAAGHHH!"
Bloodspill screamed in sheer pain,and then died.
Guy then pulled the blade out just as Spill's body turned black and fell apart into a pile of ash.

"Good job,Guy!"said Ken.
"No good job for both of us that you managed to get her wide open."

"SISTER!"said Bloodlust. "YOU'LL PAY FOR THIS,ALL OF YOU!"

"Prepare to join your sister,she-witch!"said Dudley.
"NEVER!"said Lust as she rose into the air.

Lust's eyes glowed even brighter than before,and then suddenly a pair of eye beams shot forth from them both.
"ZZAAP!"
The heroes all then scrambled around the hall as the twin eye blasts cut through the floor.

Ryu himself had just about enough of this as he ran back at the monster and jumped high into the air.

"Ryu--wait are you doing?"said Charlie.

Ryu jumped up at the monster,and said:
"Payback time!"

He then spun around and did a super hurricane kick right into the vamp's head!

"WHAMWHAMWHAM!"

Lust was hit so hard,she crashed to the floor,completly in a daze.
Once she was down,Charlie got out a silver stake,raised it over the monster,and brought it down upon it's heart.

"SHUUNK!"
Bloodlust screamed in total agony,and died just as her sister did.

"WHEW!"said Charlie wiping his brow.
"Exit two more of the count's vamp goons."

"It's not over yet."said Rose. "We must still inflitrate his stronghold and destroy whatever it is he's doing. Only by killing him,will this nightmare be at last over."

"Well,let's not tally any longer."said Ryu. "This whole farce has gone on long enough,I won't stand for another madman to ruin the lives of others."
"Well spoken,old bean."said Dudley. "Let us stick it to'im!"

The heroes then gathered before the front door that led to Den's stronghold.

Ryu bravely stepped up to the door,gripped the handle,took a deep breath(as did everyone else.)and opened the door.

Once it was open,there before Ryu and co.was a long dark corridor.

The corridor was made of metal and wood and neone green lighting tubes were adorned across the ceiling and walls,giving it a more eerie look.

"Well,I guess that's it then."said Ken.
"Yes."said Rose. "That must be the passage to Den's lair.
"Alright then."said Ryu. "No turning back now. We go in there and destroy him,or die trying."
"I was afraid he'd say something like that."said Sean.

Ryu and the rest of the fighters each went inside,once they were all in,the door closed right behind them and locked itself shut.

While back in Den's lair,he continued to chant the spell he was creating.
"Come to me,Street Fighters."he thought. "Come to me to face your destiny,or doom--HAHAHA!"

The fighters all made their way down the dark corridor,all carefully watching for anything to happen.
"Man,I hate close quarters."said Sodom.
"Yeah,i'm afraid someone's gonna grab my butt."said Makoto.
"Don't flatter yourself,kid."said Charlie. "We're in a completly different situation here anyways."

Suddenly,the group found another door standing before them.
It was long and made of grey metal and had a single round window at the top.

"That must be the next way in."said Ryu as he ventured forward.
He grabbed the door handle and opened it.

Once he was outside the corridor,he found an amazing and monstrous sight.

There before him was a vast and complex cavern of a castle of some sort.
It was a light red form of bricks and metal and it was standing in a pool of steaming molten lava.

Ryu was nearly speechless as to the sight of what he had found,but kept his cool as to not get intimidated by such a situation.

The rest of the fighters all stepped out into the open with Ryu,all equally mesmerized by what they saw.
"Wh-what is this?"said Cammy. "Where are we?"

"I--I don't know."said Rose. "We must be in---another dimension of some kind. That last door must've been a portal of some kind.
But---I sense that he and the rest of his kind are close,I can sense it."

"Well then."said Charlie. "Nothing we can do now,except go in and face the rest of the music."
"Right,let's go!"said Ryu.

The group of warriors then walked across the walkway that led to the front gates that were open.
What new terrors and challenges would await the heroes? There's only way to find out!"
