Conspiracy Ch. 13
By Ryu Dragon

“Chris ?! Is that you ?” – Jill in horror. She trembles, seeing Chris's face on the creature’s body, she almost drops her gun. “What have you done to him !!!”

Jackson smiles evilly. “Me ? Well I just want to make him stronger, undefeatable. Look at him, such a beauty, right agent Jill ?”

Natalie walks closer to Jill. “Jill, who’s that ? Is he your friend ?”

Jill still trembling, she doesn’t answer Natalie’s question. Clenching her fists, she looks up, tears run down her cheeks. “YOU ANIMAL!!!” – screamed Jill. She charges toward Jackson to kill him.

“Jill !” – Natalie tries to grabs Jill but too late.

Jill runs toward Jackson, but before she reaches him, the creature suddenly moves in front of her and swings its arm, slapping Jill. Doesn’t have a chance to react, Jill got hit and flies crashing on some computers near the wall.

“Jill !!!” – Natalie. She runs to Jill and checks her.

Jill is sitting and crying, she couldn’t believe what had happened to Chris. After all waiting and searching, she just can’t believe it.

Natalie kneels down to check her. “Jill, Jill, are you okay ?” Seeing Jill still crying but not injured she gets up. “You monster.” She is about to charges to the creature when suddenly she felt someone grabs her leg. It was Jill. “Jill ?”

“Don’t do it, Natalie, that creature is my friend.” – Jill.

“What ? Jill, what are you talking about ? That creature just hit you.” – Natalie.

“Please, Natalie ? Beside, our target is Jackson.” – Jill.

Natalie kneels down again and holds Jill’s shoulders. “Jill, what’s with you ? Get a hold on yourself.”

“Natalie, did you look at the face on the creature’s neck ?” – Jill. Natalie nods. “That is my friend, he is inside the creature’s body.” – Jill still crying.

“Are you serious ?” – Natalie glances at the creature, the face’s eyes are closed, as if it’s sleeping.

“Yes. I know him. Natalie, please, don’t hurt him.” – Jill.

“Jill… I… I’m sorry… But you know and see what happened, he hits you, he’s not your friend anymore.” – Natalie.

“No ! You don’t understand, Natalie, he is inside the creature, if we can capture the creature, we might help him.” – Jill in desperate tone.

Natalie looks away from Jill. “I… I don’t know…It’s too dangerous…”

“Natalie, please…” – Jill.

“Girls, I hate to ruin this drama bit, but…” – Jackson looks at his watch. “I’ve got a tight schedule, so I have to go now.” He looks at the creature. “Kill them now, and if you failed, kill yourself.” After finish, suddenly the spot where he stands moves down, carrying him along, then the hole closes.

“Jackson !!!” – Jill reaches out.

The creature starts to walks toward the two fighters.

“Hookay, we’re in deep trouble now.” – Natalie.

“Bison, am I glad to see you alive. Now I can avenge my father’s death.” – Chun Li.

“Oh really, Miss Xiang, you really think you can beat me ? Ryu himself can’t beat me without Ken’s help. And you said you want to beat me ?” – Bison chuckles.

“Shut up !!! I’m not as weak as you think.” – Chun Li. She shoots the Scorpion at Bison. But as the bullets about to reach Bison, he teleports out of the bullet way, then materialized on the same spot after the bullets pass. She keeps shooting, but none of the bullets hit Bison. The Scorpion lets out a dull click sound as it runs out of ammo. Realizing that she can’t rely on the gun, she throws the gun away and readies on her fighting stance.

Joining to Chun Li’s side, Ryu drops into his fighting stance. “Lets finish him.”

“Lets do it.” – Chun Li smiles a bit.

“Ignorant fools.” – Bison. As he charges up his psycho power, purplish aura surrounds him as his power goes up.

“You know…” – Daimajin. He’s evading Ryu Dragon’s barrage of attacks. “…You can never defeat me without your friends along…” Seeing an opening between the attacks, he throws a punch to Ryu Dragon’s face, followed by multiple kicks, then finishes with a straight and hard punch to his chest, blowing Ryu Dragon away several meters and lands on his back. “So why don’t you just give up. When we fought the first time in the realm, you can’t even beat me without your team. Although you grow stronger, you still no match for me, ‘cause I also grow stronger from escaping the realm.”

Ryu Dragon gets up and wipes the blood on the corner of his lips. He readies his fighting stance again. Then throws an electric ball toward Daimajin. Daimajin leaps and throws a dark projectile attack. Ryu Dragon gets hit and staggers back; he felt the dark feeling grows after he’s being hit with the dark ball. Suppressing the feeling, he readies himself again.

“Boy, aren’t you a stubborn one.” – Daimajin shakes his head.

Ryu Dragon silent, he knows that Daimajin is right. He can’t beat him without his team around. Daimajin’s power is a level more than his. He can’t beat him unless…

“What’s the matter ? Ready to give up ?” – Daimajin.

Ignoring the question, Ryu Dragon closes his fighting stance, he stands silently. Suddenly, a small golden light pops up from his solar plexus. Sensing what is going on, Daimajin charges forward. “Oh no you don’t.”

The golden light grows, enveloping Ryu Dragon, and before Daimajin could reaches Ryu Dragon, from within the light, six small snake type dragons come out. Daimajin stops and lifts his hands up, readying himself to block any kinds of attack. The six dragons; red – fire; blue – ice; yellow – thunder; grey – wind; dark brown – earth and white – soul; fly back to Ryu Dragon. When the six dragons completely gets into the golden light, the golden light expands in a sudden, then gone in a blink of eye, revealing Ryu Dragon that already changed to ‘Golden Warrior’. Ryu Dragon now is wearing a set of golden armour, a pair of legs protector, from knee to toes, a pair of arm protectors, body, shoulder and back protectors (Think of Shiryu from Saint Seiya, without the helmet part.).

“Golden Warrior…” – Daimajin.
