Mysterious Cove, New Zealand 22:00
Nash opens his eyes as he jolts out of his slumber. His body feels sluggish as he's trying to move . He finds himself inside a stone sarcophagus. The interior of it is engraved with tiny hieroglyphs. Charlie looks around the room to see ancient statues of animal-headed humanoids towering over him.
"where on God's earth am I?" Charlie thought to himself . Then a woman enters the temple, with her thick Russian accent she calls towards his direction.
"you regained consciousness. it's a miracle!". Nash turned his head to see an attractive blonde lady. Her hair is loose with a long style to it on top of her head, she wears a black ushanka with a four-pointed star. Her jacket is black with fur accents, ending in a miniskirt. Lastly thigh high black stockings and black boots.
"my name is Helena. I have been asked to take care of you. Your nurse, so to speak." she said with sincerity. Nash looked at his right arm to see the skin was grafted on, he began to pat his body to find all the parts that were synthetic.
"you had broken bones everywhere. At first, we thought you were already dead. Do you remember what happened to you?" Helena said while staring directly at him. Charlie look at her without even smiling "I remember...I remember it all". Helena looked mildly surprised.
"Interesting," she said. Nash began to struggle as he tries to step out of the sarcophagus. Helena placed her arms on his shoulder and said "you shouldn't push yourself yet. You must save your strength".
"I must get answers… I must…kill bison!" He replied with anger in his voice.
Then at the temple's doorway, he sees the man himself , the ruthless leader of Shadowloo. Bison smiles at Charlie as he turns around and walks away.
"Bison!" Nash yield as he pushed Helena to the side to chase after the evil dictator. Charlie managed to stumble out the temple to meet his killer face to face.
" no escape for you this time!" Nash yields as throw his one-handed sonic boom . Bison effortlessly steps out the way of the projectile. Charlie lunges at Bison, like a crazy person throwing wild punches and haymakers at him.
Then throws a right handed jab at bison only for it to be caught before it connected. Charlie stairs into bison's face, the dictator smiled. Using Charlie's own fist against him bison started to punch Nash repealed. Charlie jumped back to gain distance and focus.
Bison dashed and performed the scissor kick. With little time to react Nash blocked the assault but left himself open. Bison took the opportunity, punching Charlie in the gut hard enough to knock the wind out of him. While gathering his breath Charlie notices something wasn't right. is notorious for using verbal humiliation on his opponents in mid-battle.
"he's never this silence?" he thought.
Bison lifted Nash up by the throat with one arm. Then proceeded to choke him to death. Charlie could feel his windpipe being crushed, unable to break bison's grip. swung one of his legs to perform a flash kick on bison's face. This attack knocked bison off his feet.
After barely landing on his feet Charlie paused for a second to regain his balance. M. Bison got back on his feet ready for another round. Not one to disappoint Nash went on the offensive.
Charlie led with a running knee strike to Bison's chest. Then followed up with another knee to the ribcage. Bison went for a straight punch but Charlie dodged it and countered with a spinning backhand. With his back turned Nash proceeded by putting him in a headlock. Bison tried to shake Charlie off but he was lock-on tight.
" your not him!" he said as he used all of this upper body strength to snap his neck. The body went limp, it was completely devoid of life. Nash through the body on the floor, once it touches the ground the corpse instantly changed. It color changed to a milky-white shade and melted into a Charlie could properly react he heard someone applauding.
"That was most impressive! It seems you haven't forgotten your air force training." Helena said with amusement. Charlie looked at her with an eyebrow raised.
"lady I need answers, what did I just fought?" Nash says as he's pointing at the white puddle .
Helena looks at the puddle with disgusts, "that thing is one of lord Urien`s bio-warriors, as you've witness it is capable of taking on any form it please".
"I wanted to test your combat skills to see if your truly ready for this mission" Helena explains as she slowly walks behind Nash. Charlie turns his head keeping her in his sights.
"Come LT. Nash, we'll have plenty of time to talk on our way to Russia" she says as she takes him by the arm.
In his Confusion Nash ask "What's in Russia?".
The with a hit of laughter she replies " the others, they should be waiting for us". Before Charlie opens his mouth to ask another question his attention is drawn to the plane she's leading him to. There wasn't nothing particularly wrong with the metal bird but what made him linger on it was the little insignia on the side. It was a logo of a white unfinished pyramid with an all seeing eye resting on top, not so different than the eye of providence on the US dollar bill. Nash has a bad feel about this.
