The massive air ship continued to fly and float dangerously above the cities of Japan,would it land safely or crash someplace violently?

While back inside..

The entire Street Fighter troupe along with the rest of the tournament entries all stood before a horrific horror.

The evil terrorist M.Bison was at last defeated and killed by Rose,but this time another worse and greater evil than any imagined stood before them.

The evil demon known as Garuda had possessed his lifeless corpse and was now in a mobile form that may be powerful enough to lethally harm or kill anyone that stood in his way.

"Stay back everyone!"said Rose. "That thing is dangerous! I'll put up a protective shield while the rest of you get out of here!"

"And I'll help as well."said Dhalsim as he stood by her.

"Thank you master."said Rose. "And good to see you again."

Dhalsim nodded.

"Okay,you heard them folks."said Ken. "Exit stage right--starting now!"

The entourage of fighters ran out of the lab and down the corridors as fast as they could.

"You both won't stop me!"said Garuda as he rushed forward.

"NOW!"said Rose as she raised her hands and an aura shield of energy arose,blocking away the evil demon.

Dhalsim then added his own strength as he levitated into a yoga stance and poured out his own inner ki.

"YOOOOOGAAAAA!"he said.

While back in the corridors,the entire fighter group ran throughout the corridors.

"Yo man!"said a young karate fighter. "How do we get outta here?"

"Yeah,we don't know our way around here ya know!"said Mel.

"I'm afraid they're right."said Li. "We don't know how we got on here or how to get around."

"There's only one thing we can do."said Guile. "Charlie and myself will find the cockpit and force them to land. While we do that--you all wait back here."

"All right but be careful."said Li.

"Right,good luck."said Ken.

"Thanks."said Guile as he and Charlie ran off.

While back in the lab,Garuda continued his assault on the two fighters,he slammed and kicked many times as he could,weakening the shield as much as he could.

"I--I won't be able to hold this forver,and neither can you,Dhalsim."she said. "Go--go back to the others!"

"No Rose,we must see this through together!"said Dhalsim. "You may be younger,but even you cannot hold this power forever! Once Guile and the others land this behemoth,then we shall get out of here!"

Guile and Charlie raced through the corridor levels.

"By the way,it's great to have you back Charlie."said Guile. "But..how did you get your memory back and where to find us?"

"Oh,chalk that up to Dhalsim."said Charlie. "Then he brought us here."

"When this is over,we're all gonna go out for drinks,that's a promise."said Guile.

"Sure,sounds great."said Charlie.

They then finally came upon a door marked COCKPIT.

"At last!"said Guile.

"You do the honors,Will."said Charlie.

"Sure thing."said Guile. "SONIC BOOM!"

A single fireball blasted the door open and the two commandoes entered through the door.

There,they found two dolls at the controls.

One jumped out and went for her gun,but Charlie flung a sonic at her and knocker her out.

Guile then grabbed the other around the neck.

"LAND THIS DAMN THING NOW YOU DOLL %++$%!"he said. "And that's an order!"

"NEVER!"Said the Doll. "I swear to my lord Bison forever and---!"

"HE'S DEAD YOU DUMB ASS!"said Guile. "Ah,forget about it!"

Guile snapped her neck in two and then threw her across the floor.

"Looks like it's up to us!"said Guile as he and Charlie got into the pilot's seats.

"Well..it has controls and steering whells."said Charlie. "It's..almost like a jet."

"One way to find out."said Guile. "Look--there's a field down there--let's try to land her there!"

"Right!"said Charlie.

While back in the ship,Garuda continued his assault.

"ENOUGH OF THIS!"he said. "I just remembered--I also have the means to get where I want!"

He simply vanished.

"NO!"said Rose. "How did he?"

Suddenly,the two mystics were hit head on by a frenzy of flashing limbs and punches.

"WHAKKK-WHAMM!"

Both were knocked out by the demon.

"I'll tend to you both later."he said.

"Now--onto the fighters!"

He then vanished again.

"I don't like this!"said Cody. "We should be landing by now!"

"Calm yourself Cody."said Guy. "We'll get out of this yet."

"I hope so."said Dan. "Got places to be ya know."

"Don't we all."said Karin.

Back in the crowd,Akuma stood at the very back,he was clearly disappointed beyond belief.

"Dammit all!"he thought acidly. "Everything has gone wrong--I was defeated by a lesser opponent,and never got the chance to fight Ryu--and now I'm stuck once again in a damned Shadaloo plot! At least I'm also rid of that fool Bison--now I have a demon to deal with? Outrageous!"

No sooner than the Demon Garuda appeared behind them all.

"NOW I HAVE YOU ALL!"he said. "I'll kill you all and add your kis to my own!"

"NO!"said Ryu. "Everyone get back!"

A single wrestler ran forward.

"Eh--screw all this man!"he said. "I'm through with being rushed around--I'll take that prick out now!"

"NO STOP!"said Ken.

But it was too late,just as he ran straight at the demon,Garuda swung out one of his arms,and sliced the wrestler's very head right off!

Nanese screamed.

Garuda then touched the dead body and it's life essence flowed into his own.

"Now--for the rest!"

He dove into the rest of the unnamed fighters and tore into many of them,injuring,killing,and draining them of their kis.

"This is insane!"said Alex. "We can't just run from that thing,we gotta take a stand!"

"One of us shall,american."said the hooded monk.

"What--what are you..""said Ryu.

The monk dropped his hood and robe to reveal..

"Victor Sagat?"said Dan.

"It can't be!"said Blanka.

"No,it's not really him--not anymore."said Ryu. "It's the legendary warrior--Akuma."

"Akuma?"said Guy.

"I thought he was just a myth."said Cody.

"I should've known it was you to begin with Akuma."said Ryu. "If you're here to settle a blood feud I'm afraid now is not the time."

"I know that!"said Akuma. "Like it or not,I'm here to help!

"Help us?"said Li. "How?"

"Simple."said Akuma. "I will face Garuda--here and now--while the rest of you get away with your lives."

"You'd do that?"said Ken.

"We all live for something,Ken."said Akuma. "I live for the fight--that is all."

"But--wait!"said Kairi. "I defeated Garuda once before I can--"

"No brother."said Hokuto. "This isn't the same demon you fought earlier--he's twice as dangerous than before!"

"That's right,and no one else is dying while we're around--we go out together no matter what!"said Ken.

"Very well."said Ryu. "Buy us time,that's all we ask."

"Mmm.."said Akuma as he nodded.

"Let's go."said Ryu.

Akuma stood before the oncoming storm that was the demon.

"I'll fight on--till the end!"he said.

"YAAAAHH!"cried Garuda as he lunged at Akuma.

"Think he's got a chance."said Ken.

"Don't know,we'll see."said Ryu.

"Uggh..being saved by Akuma!"said Sakura. "What next?"

"Indeed."said Karin.

While back at the ship's controls,Guile and Charlie continued to try to land the ship safely.

But just as they were in sight of the field,the psycho energy bubble suddenly burned out,and the ship started to plummet.

"WHAT THE HELL?"said Guile. "What's happening?"

"Dunno!"said Charlie. "We're losing altitude--we gotta land fast!"

While back in the corridor,Akuma and Garuda fought it out.

Garuda flew at Akuma,and did a swipe with his legs,psychic blades protruding from them.

Akuma ducked and then rocketed upward with a hard and fast Dragon punch.

While back in the rest of the ship,the fighters came across an entrance door marked ENTER AND EXIT.

"*@%!--finally!"said Yun.

"But we don't know if we've landed yet!"said Yang.

The ship finally came across earth soil and then crashed hard!

"WHUMP!"went the ship as it plopped hard on the field and skidded across it.

"WHOOAH!"cried Ken as he and everyone else fell against the walls.

"I..think we landed."said Sakura.

"Good."said Ryu. "Now--to get that door open!"

"Allow me."said Blanka.

The brazillian morphed into his beast form and then grabbed ahold of the computer system lock and then unleashed his electricity blast into it.

"ZZAAAAPP!"

"Whoo!"said Cody.

"Heh-heh--comrade Blanka always knows how to do it!"

"He sure does."said Honda.

The door then opened forwards and then the fighters all ran outside.

"We made it!"said Pai. "We did it master Li!"

"Yes,yes we did."said Li.

"NO!"said a voice above them.

It was Garuda again,and he wasn't alone.

"Garuda!"said Ryu.

"I have something for you!"said the demon.

He threw something to the ground,it was the broken and now lifeless body of Akuma/Sagat.

"Is--is he?"said Ken.

"Dead!"said Ryu checking his pulse. "YOU BASTARD--YOU DIDN'T HAVE TO KILL HIM!"

"NEITHER DID I NEED HIM ALIVE!"said Garuda.

"Nowonto the rest of you!"he said as he sailed downwards to them.

Before Ryu and others could act,Garuda swept in and knocked them all down,he then started to grab each one at a time and started to drain them of their ki forces.

Ryu fired a Hadouken at him,but he simply vanished and then appeared in front of Ryu.

Garuda then slashed a hand across Ryu's chest,cutting him badly and knocking him down.

"RYU!"said Li.

Guile,Rose,Charlie and Dhalsim all ran out of the ship.

"NO--WE'RE TOO LATE!"said Rose.

"STOP HIM!"said Dhalsim.

Garuda began to drain Ryu's body,but suddenly,he felt a sharp kick in his back,causing him to drop his quarry.

It was Dan himself.

"Dan?"said Blanka.

"Stay back folks."he said. "I--I'm gonna save the day here!"

"Him?"said Cody. "What's he--?"

Garuda sneered and then swung down on of his arms at the fighter,but Dan simply jumped over it,hit him in the face with a rise knee,and then jumped onto his back.

"GOTCHA!"said Dan as he pulled his arms back.

The pair struggled wildy.

"YOU WANNA ABSORB SOMETHING?"said Dan. "ABSORB WHAT I GOT!"

"Very well!"said Garuda as he absorb Dan's body,but suddenly found something not right.

"THIS--THIS POWER--IT'S NOT PURE LIKE KI!"he said.

"That's right!"said Dan. "My radiation based ki is pretty damn lethal when absorbed isn't it?"

The pair then began to glow a bright white and then red.

"Omigosh!"said Karin. "They're--they're gonna blow!"

"Rose--quick--throw us both into the engines of the ship!"said Dan.

"But-!"she said.

"DO IT!"said Dan.

Rose reluctantly complied,she blasted forth a soul blast and the two fighters flew right into the engines of the ship.

"GET DOWN EVERYONE!"said Ryu.

The heroes did so,just as Dan and Garuda crashed right into the engines of the ship--causing it explode!

"KRAKKA-BOOM!"

The entire half of the ship exploded in flash of light and fire.

It was over,at last it was over.

The fighters all arose,and saw what had happened.

"Is--is he?"said Sakura.

Dhalsim went towards the fire and raised his hands over the fire.

"They're--they're gone both of them."he said. "I'm sorry."

"Dan..made the ultimate sacrifice for us--for us all."said Blanka.

Their was a sudden silence in the crowd of fighters,and several shed a tear for their fallen comrade.

"Well.."said Guile rubbing the back of his head.

"This is going to look marvelous in my report."

"Well,at least it's over."Said Charlie. "At least all are done--Bison,Akuma and Garuda..we're at last free of their evil."

"You may have been done with them heroes."said Urien. "But you'll still have the Illuminati and myself to deal with in the future."

"Is that a fact,speedo man?"said Ken. "Or would you like an ass kicking right now?"

"No--no."said Urien. "There's been enough fighting and bloodshed for one night--and I do share your grief over your fallen comrades. I shall light the fires of my home in honor of those truly great warriors. But I must return to my empire.

But be warned,street fighters,we shall meet again."

Urien then bowed and left the area.

"Whatta fruit!"said Cody.

"You said it."said Maki.

Suddenly,police and fire sirens all were heard as the local emergency squads came for them.

"Well,at least we attracted some real attention here."said Guile. "And relief is it's name."

"Yes."said Ryu. "We've all earned a good rest tonight."

Explanations and resolutions were made to the authorities as clean ups were formed and all hopped to the local airport and headed back to their homes.

But it was not quite over yet..
