Story of the Dragon Ch. 11
By Eliad Sholomovich

BASE OF THE SHADOW OF DARKNESS THE HIMILAYAS

Bison and Akuma were in the computer room. they had finally succeeded in convincing all the ninjas into betraying Shadowbane. It wasn't easy even when that ninja told them they would help they believed him. But many that had felt Shadowbane's wrath still feared the encounter.

"Ninjas of the shadow the time of your freedom is at hand. Soon we shall crush Shadowbane and throne one of you in his place" Bison yelled and the ninjas cheered.

"But remember once you are free who we're the one's that freed you. So then you will help me and Akuma take over this world". The crowd yelled "Hail Bison and Akuma"

Bison raised his hands and the crowd went silent. "We need you to find something for us. in order to assure victory we need an unstoppable weapon. We want you to bring us your latest weapon the Ion rifle".

A ninja bowed and said "It shall be done". The ninja ran off and returned a few minutes later with a silver rifle with a glowing green core . "This is are only prototype. It was built and designed by Shadowbane himself. If something happens to it we can never rebuild it".

Bison handed the rifle to the commander ninja that wore a red uniform. "You keep this weapon safe and when the time is right bring down the Shadowbane with its power".

The crowd cheered and then procceeded to leave and hide in the shadows. They awaited Shadowbane's arrival.

TWO HOURS LATER

Shadowbane was walking towards the computer room.

"Finally phase two is completly planned. Soon I shall bring the world to it's knees" He thought while laughing to himself.

He entered the computer room and found Bison and Akuma waiting for him.

"Excellent you're already here. Listen I have new orders for you. You are to..." His words were cut off by Akuma's shout a "Messatsu go hadouken" and a huge red chi projectile hit him in the chest. Shadowbane was lifted off his feet and crashed into the wall.

He immeadiatly stood up. "What do you think you're doing?" he asked . He started to clean his black cape and then glared at them his eyes burning in green

Bison and Akuma laughed. "We're taking over the clan so back off or fight us" They both said in unison.

Shadowbane laughed loudly. "You both challenge me?" Have you lost the little brain you still have in your heads?" My minions would hunt you till the end of days. That is if I spare you from death at my own hands"

It was Akuma and Bison turn to laugh. They snapped their fingers and dozens of ninjas came out of the shadows and others came threw the door. "You see oh, mighty one. Your loyal troops have changed sides"

Shadowbane's eyes now began to fill with red flames and his hands were surrounded by fire. "You insolent fools, you have signed your own death warrents" He growled in a voice no had ever heard. the tone was demonic and both Bison and Akuma felt the power behind those words.

Bison and Akuma pointed at Shadowbane "No you are the fool, You stand alone against an entire army and still demind to fight. Your arrogance shall be your defeat" He then pointed at Shadowbane and yelled at the top of his lungs "ATTACK!!!!" the ninjas prepared to assault Shadowbane and rid the world of him forever.

In the meantime Chun li heard the entire conversation because her cell was right next to the computer room. "Interesting, if they beat Shadowbane it will be much easier to defeat them. Those idiots have no strategic approach like that Shadowbane monster". For the first time in her life Chun li hoped Bison would succeed.

HONG KONG CHINA

Ryu and his friends had just left the supermarket after buying supplies for the journey to the Himilayas. They had a quiet and quick breakfest each one deep in thought about the coming battle.

Ryu and the group walked to the airport. "When I put my hands on that Shadowbane I'll rip him apart. I swear to god" Guile growled in anger."Cool down Guile, this situation is too delicate . We mustn't loose our focus too much depends on it" Ryu spoke up to calm his angry friend.

They arrived to the airport. "Does anyone have any money to buy tickets ?". Ryu asked.

Ken grinned "I'm way ahead of ya buddy" He said and went over to the ordering counter He returned a few minutes later and grinned."We fly tomorrow morning at eleven..Did I mention we are flying first class".

Ryu shook his head "Ken, we mustn't attract so much attention. Could you please switch the tickets to normal ones.

Ken's grin disappeared and changed to a frown. "Your no fun y'know Ryu" he growled before returning to the ordering booth.

While he was waiting in line. everyone but Ryu split up to patrol the area . They feared they were being watched. Ryu was standing near the soda machines waiting for ken to return when he someone bumped into him. The man that bumped into him was middle aged and wearing a black robe with strange signs on it.

"Excuse me" he apologized. He then looked at Ryu and his eyes widened. "Y..Y.Your the chosen one" he mumbled.

Ryu was confused "Chosen one? What are you talking about sir? Chosen for what?

The man spoke quickly "You are the dragon this I see, to defeat the vampire is your destiny. Fight with your heart and you shall prevail but if you fail to feel you shall fail"

He then ran out of the airport. Ryu was confused "What did he mean fight with my heart?. And what did he mean beat the vampire? .Vampires don't exist". He let the strange words go for the moment he would just find out what he meant in good time.

Ken returned a few minutes later and so did the rest of the group. They left the airport and rented some hotel rooms near the airport. They awaited the morning when they would flt to the Sherpa village at the feet of the Himilayas
