By Eliad Sholomovich

STREETS OF HONG KONG CHINA

Ryu scanned the group of ninjas berofe him. "These ninjas are different then the previous ones. First of all they aren't equipped with those nasty katanas and second they didn't sneek up opon us". He thought to himself. Two ninjas lunged at Ryu. He jumped and dodged them. He then kicked one in the head with such force he flipped in the air before falling to the ground. He then quickly caught the latter by the collar of his uniform when he tried to punch him and threw him over his shoulder onto another ninja that was about to strike Ken from behind. "Stay close so we can help eachother" Ryu yelled. The group stood back to back. Then a few moments later all h*ll broke loose. the ninjas spread all around scattering forcing the group to separate. Guy chased a ninja into a dead end. The ninja suddenly started charging at him. Guy struck him with his elbow and caught him by the waist and then flipped while holding him. he then smashed him into the concrete floor. a loud snap was heard when the ninjas spine broke. But before he could turn around a blow hit the back of his head. then another stroke his back. he quickly turned around and blocked the next blows and then used his owm hurricane kick to knock the ninja out. The attacking ninja was picked up in the air and then crashed into a dumpster nearby. Guy knew he had made a mistake when he heard running footsteps behind him. The minute he landed two other ninjas kicked him and then held him by the arms while a third began punching him repeatedly in the face and abdominom. Guy felt dizzy and sick so he closed his eyes while in vaun trying to realese himself from the strong grip of the ninjas. Then all of a sudden the arms released him. he slipped to the floor seeing Guile flash kick one and then sonic boom the other two before everything went black. meanwhile in a different alley nearby Chun li was kicking a ninja with her lightning kicks . He fell uncontious. She turned around when she heard Guy's groans of pain .She tried to locate him but three ninjas surrounded her and occupied her. She wanted to help Guy before it was too late so she channeled her chi and shouted "Spinning bird kick" the spinning kick caught her assailents off guard.she ran to Guy's aid but when she heard Guile's sonic boom's him she turned around and rushed to help Cammy that was surrounded by ninjas in an alley nearby . a little while before Guy's assault .Dan and Guile where having trouble with six ninjas attacking them at once . Dan used his Gagouken to blind one and then dragon punched him. but he had leapt too high when he landed two of the six ninjas kicked him in the ribs. he fell and then they kicked him in the face and he fell to the ground. Guile was lfet alone and then continued backfisting kicking and punching ninjas franticlly but wasn't able to knock them down they just kept on coming and they outnumbered him five to one he fought them througth the alleys until he spotted Guy's assault in the corner of his eye. so he lept above the ninjas flashkicked one of Guy's attackers and sonic boomed another two he saw them as they fall to the ground suppusedly uncountious. He exhaled tiredly and turned quickly to fight two of the five ninjas from before. When suddenly he his legs were sweeped from behind. He fell to the ground face first in surprise. "D*mm*t, will you b*st*rds stay down for god's sake" he yelled angrily. He got up quickly and channeled his chi into his palms and shouted "Sonic Boom" four times he shot four sonic booms at them each of the four hit. They flew from the impact. Two crashed into a wall and two crashed into a couple of ninjas that were attacking Cammy and then they all fell into a heap. Cammy flashed him a grateful smile but it quickly changed to a distressed look as she pointed behind him. Guile didn't even have enough time to react because of exhaustion from his prior assault then a powerful roundhouse hit him when he turned around it was followed by a kick to the groin and a chop kick. he fell uncontious by a new ninja's attack. Cammy snarled "D*mm*t these guys are very skilled plus we are considerably outnumbered" she ran around there were about 20 ninjas left she quessed and only she Chun li,Ryu and Ken were still contious.She searched for her friends and then she saw Ryu block the blows from 4 ninjas similtaniuosly then he summersaulted backwards and channel his chi into his palms. she was ready to see the regular Shinkuu hadouken but instead his palms glew in bright yellow he yelled "Denjin...Hadouken" and a huge sphere of yellow chi flung out of his hands electrecuting the four ninjas that approached him. She gasped she never knew he could channel such raw power but alas that glance cost her dearly. Because a ninja had successfully snuck behind her while she was watching the spectacle and gripped her in a choke hold she couldn't break loose from due to the fact that he caught her by surprise. She began to feel dizzy and her body felt very weak but then all of a sudden she could breath again. She saw Chun li before her hands still in stance . She coughed at a strange smoke that appeared. she looked behind her and saw a crispy fried ninja."D*mn that Chou kikouso is powerful" Cammy thought. "Cammy are you O.K?. Chun li asked. Cammy nodded they both noticed quickly the ninjas lines were lestening. they soon found out it was due to Ryu and Ken's marvelous teamwork. They stood back to back now kicking and punching eachothers Rivals with amazing accuracy and lethel power thus covering eachothers backs from surprise assaults. Cammy and Chun li joined them "Ryu yelled to the two ladies "Go help the othes. We can manage on our own". Chun li and Cammy did as suggested because it was the most logical thing to do at the moment. A few minutes later the Cammy and Chun li split up to help everyone since Guile and Guy were in a alley to the west and Dan in an Alley to the east. Chun li went to help Guile and Guy. but when she came near and saw them she heard a deep familiar voice laugh.The voice spoke "Well, Well Miss Xiang its been too long" Chun li choked for a minute "Bison" she spat out in a tone full of hatred. Bison came out of the shadows "In the flesh" he mocked her while grinnig. She tried to call Ryu for assitance but a strong hand covered her mouth and another one wrapped around her neck with increadible strength "Silence" Akuma stated . Akuma dragged her to an Alley a few blocks away following Bison's lead. Bison unseathed a dagger with the "shadow of darkness's skull mark on it and pinned a letter to the wall. He then contacted Shadowbane via his communicator "Master phase one is completed".Shadowbane grinned "Excellent return to base with the captive" Bison was about to obey when he remembered he needed to tell him somthing "But your ninjas have been beaten we can't risk leaving evidence". Shadowbane smiled his teeth shining "Just whistle before you leave that will activate my teleportation spell and bring them back here" he said before breaking the contact. "Lets go Akuma" Bison said. Chun li now frantically tried to escape. She had to get free to rejoin the other the shadow of darkness was obviously waiting for them but Akuma's strength was much greater than hers. a Portal appeared out of nowhere and Akuma threw her into it and then jumped after her Bison whisteled loudly and then entered the portal quickly while laughing to himself and it vanished. meanwhile at the original ambush site. Ryu and Ken had just cleared the last group of ninjas when Ken used his Shinryuken on one and then nocked out another with a powerful hurricane kick. while Ryu knocked three others with a combanation of lethel kicks and punches while blocking their attacks. Then they heard a whistle and smoke appeared and blinded their sight. they heard a loud bang and soon the smoke disappeared. when it did they were amazed all the ninjas were gone . Ryu, Ken didn't trying bother searching for them because they needed to check on their friends first.Cammy returned a few seconds later asking for their help to carry the others to someplace safe. They found Dan's limp form in an alley where Cammy showed them. Chun li was no where to be found. Ryu was getting worried "Cammy wasn't Chun li supposed to help you find the others?" he asked. She nodded "She went in that direction to search for Guile and Guy" she said and pointing westwards. They went westwards after picking up Dan and a few moments later found Guy and Guile."Stay here and wake them up I'll go look for her" Ryu said in a determined tone. Cammy and Ken told him to be careful and then he began searching the alleys nearby in the western direction. A few minutes later he found a wall with a note pinned to it by a silver dagger. He quickly took the dagger and read the note. He started to run back towards where he left the others. he needed to talk to them about this note immeadiatly because he didn't waste any time in such an urgent situation after reading the contents of the note.
