SHADOWBANE'S THRONE ROOM

"A week has passed" Shadowbane spoke to himself "Now the final battle begins" he then laughed. Chun li who's cell was in the cavern shivered she had been O.K. She had a plan.

"All I need to do is wait for him to leave and then I'll help the guy's".

Shadowbane approached the cell. "Miss Xiang, its time for you to meet your friends"

Chun li froze "Bu..But I thought they were coming here".

Shadowbane smirked "We shall meet them at the Sherpa village so all people may see their future master"

His eyes glew in blue he touched the bars and the whole Jail was covered with blue "Now it begins" Then they vanished.

SHERPA VILLAGE NEAR THE HIMLAYIAN MOUNTAINS

Ryu and his friends had lost hope of trying to figure out the hideout of their foe. For days they questioned people and searched the mountains but with no success.

"Well its been a week and we're here, so where is the enemy" Guy asked.

It was sunny and the skies were clear.All of the sudden the sky darkened and clouds appeared lightning blazed followed by deafning thunder. " What the h*ll is going on" Cammy shouted to try to be heard over the whistling winds.A blue portal appeared in the middle of the city.Out of the portal walked a tall muscular black man with green eyes ,black hair and a long black cape and in his hand he held Chun li by the throat.

"Ahh.. Ryu finally we meet in person" Shadowbane said in his human form He threw Chun li like a rag doll across the few meters between them and she crashed into the wall of a nearby building with a loud thud.

"Ryu growled starting to loose control "You black hearted b*st*rd, I'll rip you apart"

He ran to Chun li's side his friends blocking the path between him and Shadowbane. He held her in his hands blood was flowing from a wound in her head. "Chun li hang on please" He begged her tears begining to flow in his eyes. She looked at him "Ry..Ryu I'm fine be careful he is.." He hugged and silenced her with a kiss. Chun li.. I..I love you I just realized it the last couple of days please be strong so we can be together" She nodded weakly.

He told the man that managed the hotel he stayed at to take her to a doctor.The man nodded and picked her up.

Clapping was heard from behind him. Shadowbane was clapping his hands "How touching ,Its a shame you'll never see her again once I'm done with you" Ryu joined his friends and stood in stance his face a cold mask of hatred but also of determination. "Prepare to be beaten Shadowbane".

Shadowbane entered his own stance his eye now glowing green when he moved shadows followed. He motioned with his finger for them to come and fight and smiled his fangs shining in pearly white.
