Heritage and Chi Ch. 12
By Mariko Hoshi
So that was his name. She was now stronger but still that monster had all most
killed her. Ryu stood in front of Mariko. Chun-Li stood beside Ryu. Ken wanted
to charge Shadowbane but he felt Josh's hand on his arm. Guile got in a
fighting pose. "You are going to give back Mel now or do we have to fight
you Shadowbane." The cloak flap in the light breze as he turn to face
Guile. Mariko didn't like this at all. Mel where could he be and why would
Shadowbane come for her now. He had the chance to take her when he took Mel.
"I don't have time to play silly games."
"Like or not you are going to play."
It was Joshua who made the first move. Shadowbane moved out of the away of
the angery boy. Joshua then Warp behind the Vamp. "Psycho
Crusher!!!!!"
"Joshua stop it." Ryu held back his daughter. He was mad at
Shadowbane for taking Mel but he would not let him take Mariko as well. Joshua
only clip Shadowbane's side.
"I can't let you do this. I gave up my family life for doing the right
thing. Mel has to chose the path he going to take. No one can do that but him.
Not you or my father."
"Well now are you the one to talk."
"You don't understand do you. I didn't have much of a chose. I was a
bit lucklier than my siblings. I had some time with my mother. Then my father
came and in the end he kill her." That got everyone's attention. Mariko
tied her grip on her's father's arm.
"I was six years old. My mother was doing something as I was reading a
kids book. Then my world came down around me..." It was hard for Josh to
talk about this but he wanted Shadowbane to hear this to make him understand
why he felt about this so greatly. "I watched as he turn her to dust and
then the training began. I was put with Sagat. Times my so called father came
in and battled with me. Bruse and bloody is how he left me, but I never showed
any pain. I don't truly hate my father. It's me I hate. For what I was
becoming. If it not for meeting the Masters and Mariko I would of fallen the to
the darkness. So I will not aloud you to drag Mel into that kind of h*ll."
Josh Warp again trying to get at Shadowbane. His dark green eyes glowed as
he keep trying to hit him. "Psycho Shot!!!" Mariko watched Josh
trying to fight Shadowbane. She didn't like it one bit. She knew how this
monster fights. The ki inside her was building again. The others watched as
Josh keep trying to fight Shadowbane. "I must a mit boy you are stronger
than I frist thought but that not going to save you."
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Moments before Shadowbane's apearents to the other street fighters.
Sagat had return to the area where they had found the Masters and the girl.
He started towards the Dojo. That when he saw a person that Bison had talked
about and almost seem afraid of, Shadowbane. He had come out of a small cave
from within the ground. He watched the 7'6 ft tall, long coal black hair, tied
creating a long ponytail, green eyes, dark black skin, wearing full black armor
and a cape man leave the area. He wonder what had brought the Vampire to this
area. He decide to check out the cave. He moved in quietly. The cave was
simple, nothing exnoairy about it. He heard a voice calling out. "Hello???
Any one there??? What do you want from me???" Sagat enter another room.
Mel jump back into the wall. Sagat not a person he wanted to see at that
moment. He wanted to see his dad. "Well now what do we have here?"
"Do you have any thing to do with that other guy who chain me up?"
"No young Masters. I have nothing to do with that creature. Now what to
do?" Mel didn't like the sound of Sagat's voice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Josh was facing Shadowbane. The boy was tried but was still on his feet.
Mariko wanted to help him but Ryu was being like a real father. He was holding
her back. Her ki was still rising inside her. Shadowbane faced the young man
before him. Then his eyes glowed blue as well as his body. Mariko remembered
how he pulled her back towards him in the cave. He was glowing blue then too.
"Josh look out!!!" Ryu had to grab his daughter as she try to move
past him. Josh felt the pull of Shadowbane's power. Only his Psycho Power slow
him down from contecing with Shadowbane's fist.
"Tiger Shot!!!" Shadowbane was caught off guard. Ken found him
self in a hug. Mel was back even though he still had the chains on. "It
was Sagat that free me dad. He came looking for Josh. He saw Shadowbane and
decided to find out what he was doing."
"Sagat!!!" Guile had pull Josh away from Shadowbane. It was Sagat
now facing the Vampire. "You can't win this now Shadowbane. Why don't you
leave us alone."
"I remember you saying something like that before little girl."
"Then why don't you listen." Shadowbane looked at Mariko then at
Mel. He took a deep breath. "I will leave you alone for now but I leave
you all with this warring. Young Mel you must be readly to kill one day or the
world will be lost." With those words Shadowbane was gone. That when all
eyes turn to Sagat.
