A WEEK LATER

A OPEN FIELD IN THE VICINTIY OF IRONFIST CITIDAL

Derek and his group were speaking with three people. One was a tall bulky knight in shining steel armor. The second was a slender elven women in long green garbs with a long oak staff. The third was a elderly man in priest garbs.

After a few minutes they came to the SF group. "O.K here's the deal. The entire alliance of darkness's army is amassing and a huge skirmish is about to begin soon. You can still back off If you want". Derek said.

The entire SF crew shook its head. "If there is something we don't fear its a challenge. We never back down on a promise were with you to the end" Ryu said calmly.

"Thank you all. We'll need all the help we can get." Lorain said and bowed in respect.

They sat down. During the next couple of hours huge armies amassed. Thousands of human knights and warriors. Elven archers and pikemen. Dwarven warriors. Then came the the mystical creatures. Huge walking trees. Golden and silver dragons. Griffons, Pegasi, Unicorns and Centuars.

Then a huge portal appeared. It was at least a mile tall and wide. Out of it stepped thousands of orcs,trolls, goblins, then came hidioes creatures, demons,h*ll hounds, zombies,vampires,skeletons, red and black dragons, manticores (lion body with bat wings and scorpion tail), and ogres.

The two armies stood ready in ranks. The four evil wizards stood on a hill behind their army. Baltazar and the three people he talked with stood on a hill behind the army of good.

The crew was shocked never had they seen such creatures or so many people in one place. "My god this is going to be a blood bath" Cammy said.

Ryu nodded "Indeed it shall" One orc stood on the hill of evil and one human on the hill of good. Both had horns. They looked at eachother then both took a deep breath and blowed the horns.

A huge scream was heard from both armies "ATTACK!!!" it was deafning. The orcs approached. The elven archers armed their bows. Lorain stood with them "Ready..Aim...FIRE" she screamed.

The archers released a storm of arrows at the approaching troops. Dozens fell prey to the barrage. Some orcs were riding giant black wolves. The humans faught with the orcish horde. While the elves with the huge trolls. The Humans also paired up on the humongus Ogres that were 9 feet each.

Roars of rage and pain echoed threw the battle field. The elven arches continued firing and the Orcish berserkers and trolls bashed threw the lines. The demons faught with angels that suddenly flew down from the sky. The dragons faught black vs. silver, red vs. gold.

All the ranks started mixing chaos on the field. Ryu and his group faught bravely and actually faired well. The wizards on both sides faught against eachother. Bolts of lightning and fire blazing threw the air.

Some dispelled some swatted and hitting troops. The armies were quite even. Derek was fighting against three orcs. He was slashing and blocking their heavy axes. He killed two and was hit by a stray hit in his shoulder.

Brad chopped the orc and helped Derek. The street fighters were fighting with fist and Chi surprising the enemy that mocked their martial arts. Ryu and Ken knocked out orcs and trolls with impressive teamwork of Shoryukens and Hadokens,hurricane kicks and deadly combanations. Chunli and Cammy with speed and teamwork. Mel and Mariko had joined fighting forces and faught with deadly efficiancy.

Guy,Guile and Dan all backed eachother using their with both wit and force. Lorain and the elves snipedt he foe with deadly accuracy.

Ryu then saw a huge figure standing on nearby mountain. "Its Shadowbane" He yelled and pointed after ducking and kicking and orc that slashed at him. The other looked and nodded

"Ken come with me we'll get him" Ryu shouted. Ken nodded but spoke under his breath "Us and what army" he sighed and started running after Ryu.

They ran threw the ranks kicking and fighting their way threw. helping warriors on the way. They reached the mountain and started climbing. Then they heard a loud flapping sound.

Ken looked up and saw a huge Red dragon its mouth open. "Ryu look out" he shouted. Ryu looked up and lept to the side grabbing onto a rock but his grip was slipping. He managed to save himself from turning into toast by avoiding a stream of fire.

Ryu fixed his grip. He then saw the dragon approach again. Suddenly a huge golden dragon slammed into the red one and bit its neck. Galons of blood spilled staining the mountain. Ryu continued his climb. The mountain was 2000 meters high it would take at least an hour to beat.

They failed to see another portal a purple one appear next to Shadowbane.
