Chapter 2: The Arrival in Metro City
Metro City, New York, United States of America/ Metro City International Airport
March 5, 1991/ 12:40 A.M.
From around the time of 12:40 A.M. in the late night at the Metro City International Airport which had lied and resided from within a large northeastern rural area that was seen and located a long distance away outside the metropolis of Metro City from its southwestern direction, the airplane that Ryu, Ken, and Eliza had boarded back in San Francisco had soon landed and docked into the right eastern docking station of the airport itself and that the passengers of the airplane had soon heard a young female flight attendant's voice from within the airplane's own intercom speakers, informing them that they had finally arrived at their planned destination and that they were now allowed to leave the airplane from within their own given time and accord. As the passengers had wasted no time in exiting the airplane through the docking station so that they could eventually make their own way into the airport's right eastern Terminal 3 section via a jetway bridge/entranceway, Ryu, Ken, and Eliza were among those who had came directly into the airport terminal itself upon sight and that the trio, who were now currently making their own way down the left western direction of their own calm and decent walk through the airport terminal were quite very tired and exhausted from having to endure their own long and tedious eight-hour flight from San Francisco to Metro City. When Ryu had looked at the northern huge outside windows of the airport terminal and saw that it was nighttime from within his own personal glance during the walk, the wandering martial artist had emitted a small yawn while covering his opened mouth with his right hand as he knew instantly that he was real tired and sleepy upon sight and that he had truly wanted to get some immediate rest as soon as possible so that he could then be fully ready and prepared for the inevitable arrival to Metro City in due time.
As Ryu, Ken, and Eliza had made their eventual way over to the left western baggage carousel of the airport terminal so that they could then stop and stand directly in front of it with the rest of the airplane's passengers and instantly wait for their own personal luggage to come into their own direct and immediate view upon sight, Ryu had personally folded his arms across his chest from within a calm and decent manner as he had still continued to think about his own personal situation, in which he was still trying to see on whether or not Gouki was the possible assailant behind the murder of Ken's deceased friend Cody.
"If Gouki was indeed the one who had murdered Ken's friend Cody from within last Saturday, then it's quite safe to say that Ken and I are gonna truly have our own hands completely full in having to possibly fight and battle against him from within the near future. Even with the two of us combined, our powers alone may not stand an absolute chance against the unfathomable dark force that lies directly from within Gouki's own shrouded fighting spirit. I can only hope and pray that Ken and I don't have an unexpected and unwanted encounter with Gouki just yet. Not until the two of us train very hard and diligently so that we can eventually be on the same level as Gouki himself and thus, we'd then be able to fight against and defeat him upon sight so that we can avenge our master's death in due time" said Ryu in his mind as he had looked on in a serious and determined way while making and having a small frown on his own face from within the process of his own personal thinking.
Metro City, New York, United States of America/ Metro City Plaza Hotel
March 5, 1991/ 12:50 A.M.
From around the time of 12:50 A.M. in the late night at the Metro City Plaza Hotel, Geese and Billy K. had currently stood together from within a right eastern back vacated parking lot that was seen and located outside of the hotel, in which both Geese and Billy K. were currently staying from for the time being and that the duo themselves had took the given chance and opportunity in having to talk and speak with three of their own well-known associates, who had stood together a few feet away from where they were all seen from upon the middle section of the back vacated parking lot and that the trio themselves had consisted of a middle-aged Australian Caucasian man and two young Japanese men upon sight.
The middle-aged Australian Caucasian man had looked to be in his Mid-40's and that he had a clear bald head, a black beard, and a pair of blue eyes which were seen behind a pair of black wrap-around sunglasses while being dressed in his own casual attire which had consisted of a brown long-sleeve dress shirt, a white thick scarf that was seen and worn around his neck, a black long-sleeve suit trenchcoat with a white fur collar and sleeve cuffs, a pair of white dress pants, a pair of black dress socks, and a pair of brown-black dress shoes. The middle-aged Australian Caucasian man who was seen upon sight was identified and named Mr. Big: a cunning kingpin who had served Geese from within a reluctant manner as his third-in-command behind Billy K. and that he had sought to one day regain sole control over the entire South Town criminal underworld from within his own given chance and opportunity.
The first young Japanese man had looked to be in his Mid-20's and that he had long sharp brown hair and a pair of blue eyes while being dressed in his own fighting attire which had consisted of a black sleeveless mesh shirt, a blue sleeveless shinobi shozoku uwagi jacket with a red "Kisaragi" Kanji character symbol design on the back of the jacket, along with a red eri lapel collar, a pair of red sodeguchi sleeve cuff openings, and a red shita jacket bottom trim, a blue shinobi shozoku fukumen cloth mask with a red trim, a pair of red fingerless shinobi shozoku tekkou bracers, a pair of blue athletic wristbands with a red trim, a red shinobi shozoku obi belt, a pair of blue shinobi shozoku tattsuke hakama pants, a pair of white shinobi shozoku kyahan cloth shin leggings, a pair of white tabi socks, and a pair of blue jika-tabi boots. The first young Japanese man who was seen upon sight was identified and named Eiji Kisaragi: a ruthless ninja who had sought to prove his superior Kisaragiryu Ninpo against all who stands in his way while attempting to be the strongest under the heavens.
The second young Japanese man had looked to be in his Late-20's and that he had short slick blonde hair and a pair of brown eyes while being dressed in his own casual attire which had consisted of a black long-sleeve turtleneck shirt, a black sleeveless dress vest, a pair of black fingerless leather gloves, a pair of black dress pants, a pair of black dress socks, and a pair of black dress shoes. The second young Japanese man who was seen upon sight was identified and named Ryuji Yamazaki: a sadistic psychopath who had enjoyed both the thrill and the pleasure of brutally attacking and maiming anyone who gets in his own way.
"Gentlemen, I'm quite glad and happy to see and know that the three of you were indeed and finally able to come here from within due time. It's quite very imperative to say and acknowledge that your required assistance will most definitely be needed in my master plan to take over Metro City in due time and that each and every one of you will be graciously rewarded quite greatly if you indeed succeed from within the direct core of the task itself" said Geese as he had talked and spoken from within a calm yet persuasive tone while he and Billy K. had stood together from upon the left side of the current group conversation.
"Don't make me laugh Geese! Just because you were able to overthrow me and gain control over South Town doesn't mean that the same thing will indeed happen for you here in Metro City. Despite the fact that Belger and the Mad Gear Gang was completely destroyed by three local heroes a while back, it's quite safe to easily say and know that the other local street gangs of this city, whom you haven't gotten on your payroll won't exactly hand Metro City over to you on a silver platter, due to the fact that each and every one of them would instantly seek out to become the immediate new dominant criminal organization of this city's criminal underworld and that you might eventually find yourself going up against some dangerous odds in the near future" said Mr. Big as he had looked on from within a skeptic way while having both of his hands from inside his trenchcoat's lower front pockets and standing alongside with Eiji K. and Yamazaki from upon the right side of the current group conversation.
"That may be so Mr. Big, but still, I have my ways in persuading the unlikely over to my cause from within an instant and that the remaining local street gangs of this city will eventually accept my immediate offer, one way or another" said Geese as he had talked and spoken to Mr. Big from within his own direct time and accord.
"Even if that was so, why is it that you have brought me here from within my own personal time Geese?" said Eiji K. as he had talked and spoken through his cloth mask while looking on from within a sternly way and having his arms folded across his chest.
"It's quite simple to explain really Eiji. Upon knowing and realizing that you're a ruthless and merciless ninja whose martial arts fighting skills and techniques can only be described as both lethal and dangerous, I wholeheartedly require your utmost assistance in having to help me out from within the takeover of this city and promptly eliminate those who would dare to stand in my way. I know instantly that you don't do your mercenary jobs for cash and all, but rather for the thrill and pleasure in having to immediately unleash your powerful Kisaragiryu Ninpo skills and techniques against the blind and ignorant fools who don't recognize and acknowledge your own unique and superb ninjutsu abilities. In fact, the direct reason of why I had called you here comes from some surprising information that I had acquired just recently. You see, I have learned that another ninja currently lives here from within Metro City and that he was a member of the vigilante trio who had eliminated Belger and his gang not too long ago" said Geese.
"Is that so? Well then, who exactly is this ninja that you're directly talking about right now Geese?" said Eiji K. as he had now looked on from within an unexpected yet intrigued state upon having to hear that direct statement from Geese with his own detection.
"If you wish to know, I do believe that his name is Guy Hattori and that he's a practitioner of Bushinryu Ninpo. Does his name come across your mind Eiji?" said Geese.
When Eiji K. had heard that particular statement from Geese with his own detection, the ruthless ninja had narrowed his own two eyes in a sternly and hardened manner as he had instantly and immediately knew about the fighting history of Guy from within his own personal mind and that it had caused him to rethink about his own current options from within the direct scenario of the upcoming ordeal in Metro City.
"Yes it does Geese. I've indeed heard about him before from within the past and in my own honest and personal opinion, I had always considered him into being a weak and inept ninja due to the fact that he practices a pathetic and worthless style of ninpo, to the point that my family and I had officially decreed it to be on the same inadequate and insufficient level alongside with Kyokugenryu Karate. The one known as Guy Hattori brings instant and immediate shame to the name of the shinobi and that I cannot allow him to continue practicing the inferior and ineffectual Bushinryu Ninpo, thus I must eliminate it and him in the name of the Kisaragi clan" said Eiji K. as he had looked on in a ruthless and relentless manner while still continuing to think about Guy's fighting history from within his own personal mind.
"So does this mean that you'll help aid me from within my master plan Eiji?" said Geese as he had talked and spoken from within a calm and decent way.
"Indeed I will Geese and I wholeheartedly assure you that I'll work very hard under your direct and absolute full command so that I can help ensure your own well-deserved victory while also eliminating Guy Hattori and his Bushinryu Ninpo from this world at the same time as well, thus showing and proving the undisputed and almighty superiority of Kisaragiryu Ninpo" said Eiji K. as he had nodded in agreement with Geese on his own statement and that the ruthless ninja had wasted no time in accepting the offer without any hesitation or second thought.
"Humph! It's quite nice and amusing to see that ninja boy here is getting all riled up about having to take out some rival punk and all, but where does that leave me in your little scheme Geese?" said Yamazaki as he had looked on from within an annoyed and irritated way while having his right hand from inside his pants' right front pocket.
"Ha ha ha! There's no need for you to blow a fuse Yamazaki. Your role from within my master plan will indeed be the most important one of them all. In fact, you could say that this particular role would suit your own sadistic and psychotic needs very well" said Geese.
"What exactly do you mean by that?" said Yamazaki as he had looked at Geese from within a doubtful sight.
"It's quite simple to explain really Yamazaki. Seeing as though you're a malicious killer who'll murder anyone just for both fun and pleasure, this particular assignment will most definitely be the right task for even your own evil and twisted mind. I simply need for you to kill four particular people who are highly regarded in being the ones who are constantly trying to help restore Metro City's own damaged and tarnished reputation back to normal in a futile and pointless attempt to show and prove to the entire world that Metro City is no longer the #1 crime capital of the world and that the inevitable deaths of these four particular people will easily help enable me to spread my own entire influence throughout the whole city in no time at all" said Geese as he had talked and spoken from within a cruel and callous tone towards Yamazaki upon sight.
"By my own mere curiosity, who exactly are these four particular people that you want me to put six feet under Geese?" said Yamazaki.
When Geese had heard that question from Yamazaki, the ruthless business entrepreneur had instantly turned his immediate sight over to Billy K. and made a quick small nod towards his personal bodyguard, causing the persistent bo staff fighter to quickly realize the instant and immediate fact that Geese had wanted him to do a direct task without any hesitation or second thought. From there, Billy K. had wasted no time in making his way over to where Yamazaki had stood from so that he could then use his left hand to give him a small yellow file folder in midair that he had held in his own current possession and that the file folder itself had contained a couple of important papers from inside of it. As Yamazaki had quickly snatched the file folder away from Billy K.'s left hand with his own left hand in midair in an instant so that he could then immediately open it up from within a fast state in order to look inside of it while Billy K. himself had wasted no time in making his own way back over to Geese so that he could then stop and stand by next to him once more upon sight, Yamazaki had soon saw the dossiers of the four particular people that he was assigned to kill from within his direct assignment and that the sadistic psychopath had narrowed his own two eyes in a ruthless and relentless way as he had firmly looked at the pictures and descriptions of the four particular people with his own menacing sight.
The first person's dossier to be seen upon sight was a young Caucasian woman who had looked to be in her Mid-30's and that she had long combed brown hair and a pair of green eyes which were seen behind a pair of brown browline corrective glasses. The young Caucasian woman's dossier had described her as being the noble chairwoman of Metro City's anti-violence division from within City Hall and that she was identified and named Michelle Daniels.
The second person's dossier to be seen upon sight was a middle-aged Caucasian man who had looked to be in his Mid-40's and that he had a clear bald head, a brown beard, and a pair of brown eyes. The middle-aged Caucasian man's dossier had described him as being the straightforward Police Chief of the Metro City Police Department and that he was identified and named Richard Jonathan.
The third person's dossier to be seen upon sight was an elderly Caucasian man who had looked to be in his Mid-70's and that he had short white hair and a pair of blue eyes which were seen behind a pair of black horn-rimmed corrective glasses. The elderly Caucasian man's dossier had described him as being the strict Chief Judge of the Metro City Local Courthouse and that he was identified and named Stephen Wilcox.
The fourth and final person's dossier to be seen upon sight was none other than Haggar's and that his own dossier had described him as being the Mayor of Metro City.
"So these are the annoying little cockroaches that you want me to stomp into a million little pieces?" said Yamazaki as he had looked at the four dossiers from within a calm yet malicious manner.
"Indeed Yamazaki and if you're very successful from within the assignment, you'll be graciously paid with a huge money reward, the likes of which you've never seen before from within your own past jobs" said Geese.
When Yamazaki had heard that statement from Geese, the sadistic psychopath had made and held a psychotic grin on his face as he had instantly and immediately thought about the sick and twisted concept in having to make his new targets suffer a painful and horrible death so that he could easily satisfy his own cruel and malevolent amusement while also completing the direct assignment at the same time from within the process of his own callous and malicious action.
"That's fine by me Geese. Just as long as I get the satisfying pleasure in having to stain their blood from upon my own knife and clothes" said Yamazaki as he had looked on from within a cold and menacing state.
"What about me Geese? What exactly do I get out of this if I decide to help aid you from within your latest crazy plan?" said Mr. Big as he had looked at Geese from within a doubtful sight.
"Well Mr. Big, your reward should be the most promising out of the three, for it's something that you've sought for so long, thinking that you would never get it back. However, if you play your cards right from within this latest crazy plan of mine and help command the paid local street gangs from within the main operation of my master plan, I can easily and safely say and assure to you that all of South Town's criminal underworld control will be back under your own full command in no time at all" said Geese as he had looked on from within a precise and perceptive way.
"W...what?! Are you saying...that you're willing to give South Town's criminal underworld control back over to me if I help you out?!" said Mr. Big as he had looked on in a shocked yet surprised manner upon having to hear Geese say that direct statement towards him from within their own current talking with each other upon sight.
"Indeed Mr. Big and the reason of this comes from the direct fact that both Metro City and South Town are quite equivalent when it comes to their own high values and even though I've already established both my almighty influence and legacy from within South Town itself, I feel and decided that I need to also spread and unleash my unrivaled and unbeatable power and influence throughout the entire country as well and that Metro City will indeed not only serve as both the official starting point and new base of operations from within my inevitable conquest, but it will also be the first city to fall in line under my own direct and absolute control and command in no time at all from within the near future. Despite the fact that I'll still have complete control over the financial businesses that I both own and invested from within South Town, the criminal activity will be fully placed back into your own direct command and that I expect for you to run and rule it with the same cruel and corrupt power that you had it in before when you were the undisputed top crime lord from within the South Town criminal underworld during your own golden and glory days. Do I make myself clear to you Mr. Big?" said Geese as he had talked and spoken to Mr. Big from within a calm yet intimidating tone.
When Mr. Big had heard that explanation from Geese with his own detection, the cunning kingpin had made and held a cocky grin on his own face as he knew and realized that this was indeed a perfect chance for him to finally regain full control over the South Town criminal underworld as the undisputed top crime lord upon sight and that he couldn't afford to screw up such a given opportunity to truly obtain his own promised reward from within the process of his own assigned work.
"But of course Geese. To know and realize that I can finally regain my top position from within the South Town criminal underworld is quite a fascinating scenario for me to personally think about right now and that I'd be more than willing and determined to graciously take up your kind offer from within the given chance and opportunity. However Geese, I do warn you that if your so-called "reward" happens to be nothing more than another trick in order for me to do your dirty work in an instant..." said Mr. Big as he had soon looked on in a sternly and cautious way upon having to also possibly think about the potential drawback which had lied directly from within his own given choice in having to take up and accept Geese's direct offer upon sight.
"I fully assure you that my gracious reward towards you is no mere trick Mr. Big. Just do your direct job as assigned and I truly promise you that the total control of South Town's criminal underworld will be back under your own direct command from within no time at all" said Geese as he had looked at Mr. Big from within an assured and confident way.
"Fine. Whatever you say Geese" said Mr. Big as he had looked on from within a calm and decent state.
Upon having to hear that statement from Mr. Big with his own detection while also seeing and knowing that Mr. Big, Eiji K., and Yamazaki were now ready and prepared to help him out upon sight, Geese had soon made and held a confident and satisfied smile on his own face as he knew and realized that the main operation of his master plan would soon begin in due time and that the ruthless business entrepreneur was quite very determined to succeed from within his own callous and malevolent goal in having to take over Metro City from within due time itself.
Metro City, New York, United States of America/ Uptown District
March 5, 1991/ 10:42 A.M.
From around the time of 10:42 A.M. in the late morning, Ryu, Ken, and Eliza were currently making their own way down the right eastern direction of a busy street's southern sidewalk that was seen and located from within the northwestern city section of Metro City's Uptown District and that the trio themselves were quite very determined to head on over to Haggar's home so that they could meet up with the macho wrestler and see on how he and Jessica were doing right now from within their own personal time of the current situation that was happening at the moment. Upon having to arrive in Metro City from within the late night of today, Ryu, Ken, and Eliza had wasted no time in checking in and staying at the Metro City Plaza Hotel upon sight and that the trio were able to get some much-needed rest and comfort so that they could then be fully ready and prepared for their own planned visit to Haggar and Jessica from within the duration of today.
As Ryu, Ken, and Eliza had continued on from within their own precise and perceptive way towards their planned destination, the unexpected loud scream of a young woman was soon suddenly heard out of nowhere from within the right eastern distance of the busy street that the trio were seen from upon sight and that the sudden scream itself had completely caught Ryu, Ken, and Eliza off guard from within their own surprised state and time.
"What the...?! That sounded like a young woman screaming!" said Eliza as she had instantly looked on in a shocked way while she, Ken, and Ryu had immediately stopped from within their own direct tracks in having to hear the sudden scream with their own precise and perceptive detection.
"Something bad must be happening right now you guys! Let's go check it out and see on what's going on at the moment!" said Ryu as he had made and held a suspicious yet determined expression on his own face in having to hear the impromptu scream upon sight and from there, the wandering martial artist had wasted no time in running very quickly down the right eastern direction of the busy street's southern sidewalk so that he could instantly and immediately get to the direct location of where the scream itself had came from.
"Right behind you Ryu!" said Ken as he had instantly agreed with Ryu on the direct idea and that he and Eliza had immediately followed behind after him from within their own quick sprint.
Meanwhile from within a right eastern dilapidated back alley that was seen and located from within an isolated part of the area in which Ryu, Ken, and Eliza were seen and located from upon sight, a young Caucasian businesswoman had currently found herself being surrounded on all sides of her current standing position by four young Caucasian menacing thugs and that the young Caucasian businesswoman, who had wore a small black leather pocketbook purse with her right shoulder was unable to get away from them as she was completely trapped against a southern brick wall from within the back alley's own middle section.
"Ha ha ha! There's no need for you to get scared honey! All we want from you is your purse and any jewelry that you have on yourself at the moment!" said the first young Caucasian menacing thug as he had talked and spoken from within a menacing tone while holding a silver aluminum baseball bat in his right hand and that he and his three friends had stood a few feet away from where the young Caucasian businesswoman was seen from during her own scared time and accord.
"Just make it easy on yourself and hand over your valuables to us right now!" said the second young Caucasian menacing thug as he had held a silver lead pipe in his own right hand.
"P...please don't hurt me! I'll...give you what you want! Just let me go!" said the young Caucasian businesswoman as she had talked and spoken from within a frightened state while quickly throwing both her purse and her jewelry towards the ground that was in front of the four young Caucasian menacing thugs, enabling them to immediately pick up the valuables so that they could instantly look at their own stolen loot real carefully while still keeping their own menacing sights upon the scared young Caucasian businesswoman from within the process of their own cruel and malicious action.
"Hang on just a minute there gorgeous! Just cause you've done what we wanted doesn't mean that you're completely off the hook just yet!" said the third young Caucasian menacing thug as he had held a small silver sharp pocket knife in his right hand while he and his friends had soon placed their stolen loot from inside their jackets' and pants' front pockets upon sight.
"That's right! Women who trespass in the Devil Riders' own territory must also pay a "special fee" if they want to totally leave unscathed and uninjured!" said the fourth young Caucasian menacing thug as he had held a small silver sharp box-cutter in his own right hand.
"A..."special fee"? What type...of "special fee"?" said the young Caucasian businesswoman as she had looked on from within a frightened yet uneasy manner upon having to hear that statement from the fourth young Caucasian menacing thug with her own detection.
"We're not willing to go into the full details cutie, but let's just say that it involves you and us having "lots of fun" together, if you know what we mean" said the fourth young Caucasian menacing thug as he had looked on from within a ruthless yet lecherous way while immediately pointing out his own box-cutter straight towards the young Caucasian businesswoman's short suit mini skirt from within an instant.
When the young Caucasian businesswoman had heard that direct statement from the fourth young Caucasian menacing thug with her own detection, she had emitted a horrified gasp as she had instantly and immediately knew and realized on what he had exactly meant by his own word upon sight and that the young Caucasian businesswoman herself was now truly terrified and scared into personally thinking on what the four young Caucasian menacing thugs were gonna do to her from within the intense and dramatic situation of the late morning.
"No! Please don't do it! Don't rape me!" cried the young Caucasian businesswoman as she began to have a few tears come down from her eyes and upon her own cheeks while looking on from within a frightened and fearful sight.
"Ha ha ha! There's no need for you to get scared sweetie! The only thing that we want right now is to have some fun with you, that's all. I promise you that you're gonna enjoy it very much and that you're gonna truly satisfy the four of us in no time at all!" said the first young Caucasian menacing thug as he had talked and spoken from within a lecherous tone and that he and his three friends had slowly began to close in on the frightened young Caucasian businesswoman, who had now looked on from within a horrified manner as she had instantly and immediately closed her own eyes in a complete state of pure fear and anxiety in knowing and realizing the shocking and frightening fact that the four young Caucasian menacing thugs were about to sexually rape her from within the harsh and ruthless scenario of the late morning.
"No! Somebody! Please help me!" yelled the young Caucasian businesswoman as she had cried out from within a horrified way upon thinking and fearing that she was about to get sexually raped from within such a callous and merciless manner by the four young Caucasian menacing thugs in her own frightened state and time.
However, before the four young Caucasian menacing thugs could get the malicious chance and opportunity to put their own filthy hands upon the young Caucasian businesswoman, two blue Ki energy fireballs had soon suddenly came from out of nowhere in midair via the left western direction of the back alley's middle section and that both projectiles had immediately struck the first and second young Caucasian menacing thugs from their own right sides with a strong impact, knocking both of them straight into the air from within a painful yet shocking manner so that they could then collide into the third and fourth young Caucasian menacing thugs from within a surprising sight and through this direct action, all four young Caucasian menacing thugs had soon crashed into the right eastern side of the back alley's own middle section near a couple of trash cans, knocking them over in an instant from within their own direct collision so that the trash cans' own filth could then be spilled upon the four young Caucasian menacing thugs in such a surprising and humiliating manner. When the young Caucasian businesswoman had slowly opened her own two eyes in due time and saw that the four young Caucasian menacing thugs were now lying from upon the right eastern side of the back alley's own middle section from within a complete state of extreme pain and disbelief, she had emitted a surprised gasp as she didn't expect for them to be stopped so quickly and unexpectedly from within the intense and dramatic situation of the late morning.
"What the...?! What...just happened?!" said the young Caucasian businesswoman as she had looked on in a shocked way upon having to see the fallen four young Caucasian menacing thugs with her own surprised eyes.
Just then, an unexpected yet familiar voice was suddenly heard from out of nowhere upon sight and that it had completely caught the young Caucasian businesswoman off guard in her own personal time and accord.
"Hey there, are you okay?" yelled Ken's voice.
When the young Caucasian businesswoman had heard Ken's voice and turned her personal sight over to the left western direction of her current standing position, she saw that Ken, Eliza, and Ryu were currently standing together from the left western entranceway of the back alley and that both Ken and Ryu had made and held some determined expressions on their faces upon having to see the current situation that was happening right now before their very own sights.
"I am, but...who are you supposed to be?" said the young Caucasian businesswoman as she had quickly ran away from her current standing position in the back alley so that she could instantly and immediately join up and rendezvous with Ryu, Ken, and Eliza from their own current standing location at the back alley's own entranceway.
"That's not important at the moment. The real concern is for you to get to safety right now so that these hooligans won't get the chance and opportunity to cause any potential harm against you" said Ryu as he had looked on in a calm yet determined way while using his left hand to crack his right fist's knuckles in midair from within the process of his own direct talking.
"Indeed. Eliza, get her out of here right now and call for the local police as soon as possible. Ryu and I will handle and take care of these slimeballs for the time being" said Ken as he had talked and spoken to Eliza while looking on from within a confident and prepared state.
"Understood Ken. Please be careful" said Eliza as she had nodded in agreement with Ken on his immediate request and that the charming beauty had wasted no time in escorting the young Caucasian businesswoman away from the back alley's own entranceway so that the two of them could then make their own fast sprint down the left western direction of the street's southern sidewalk.
From within due time, the four young Caucasian menacing thugs had slowly gotten back up from the ground while trying to get rid of the filth that was seen from upon their own clothes and as all of them saw and realized that the young Caucasian businesswoman was now gone upon sight, the four young Caucasian menacing thugs had soon made and held some angered expressions on their faces upon having to see that Ryu and Ken were slowly making their own way over straight towards them from within an instant so that the two fighters could then stop and stand a short distance away from where the four young Caucasian menacing thugs were seen from upon sight.
"You...how dare you interfere in our business!" yelled the first young Caucasian menacing thug as he had looked at Ryu and Ken from within an infuriated state.
"That's right! Anyone who dares to attack the Devil Riders will live to regret it!" yelled the second young Caucasian menacing thug as he too had also looked on from within an infuriated state as well.
"Don't make me laugh! The only thing that I see right now are a couple of spineless cowards who think that they're real tough by attacking and hurting innocent people when least expected. It's guys like you who make me sick to my own stomach" said Ken as he had looked on from within a disgusted sight while placing himself into his own fighting stance.
"It's quite obvious that none of you have no respect for anyone of pure innocence. I do believe that a much-needed lesson in respect should be taught right here and now for evildoers such as yourselves" said Ryu as he had placed himself into his own fighting stance while still continuing to look on from within a calm yet determined way.
"You're gonna teach us a lesson in respect? I'm afraid that you got it backwards my foolish little friend. Instead of you teaching us some respect, we're gonna be the ones to do the teaching in respect" said the third young Caucasian menacing thug.
"Agreed and this lesson will indeed prove to be the most painful one for a couple of interfering bozos like you! Get ready to die!" yelled the fourth young Caucasian menacing thug as he and the rest of his friends had gotten ready to attack Ryu and Ken from within their own callous time and manner.
From there, the four young Caucasian menacing thugs had made an immediate angered charge straight towards Ryu and Ken from within an instant and that each of the thugs themselves had held their own respective weapons up in midair, hoping to attack the two fighters from where they had stood from upon sight, but both Ryu and Ken were quite very ready and prepared to do battle against their sudden enemies without any hesitation or second thought during the impromptu fight that had occurred and took place from within the current duration of the late morning.
As the first young Caucasian menacing thug had charged first straight towards the two fighters upon sight and had tried to take their own heads off with a hard swing of his weapon, Ryu and Ken had managed to quickly jump straight up towards the air at the last second so that they could easily avoid their opponent's harsh attack in an instant while landing safely on the other side of the first young Caucasian menacing thug's current standing position, enabling Ken to immediately retaliate against him by turning himself around real fast so that he could quickly throw a powerful right front kick straight towards the middle section of the first young Caucasian menacing thug's own back and that the tough impact of Ken's instant counterattack against him had knocked forward and sent the first young Caucasian menacing thug down to the ground that was near the back alley's own entranceway so that he could crash upon it through his own stomach and drop his aluminum baseball bat from within the process of his own rough crash towards the ground itself. Upon seeing and knowing that the first young Caucasian menacing thug was now knocked down and incapacitated from within their own direct time and manner, Ryu and Ken had decided to turn and focus their own determined efforts into taking on the other three young Caucasian menacing thugs, who had attempted to attack and hurt the two fighters from within the current scenario of the impromptu tough fight.
"We're gonna tear you apart!" yelled the third young Caucasian menacing thug as he and the fourth young Caucasian menacing thug had immediately rushed straight towards the two fighters from within their own direct chance and opportunity so that they could instantly attempt to attack them with their own sharp weapons upon sight. As Ryu and Ken had used their martial arts evasiveness to avoid and evade the slashing attacks of the two young Caucasian menacing thugs, Ryu had wasted no time in throwing a hard right roundhouse kick straight towards the third young Caucasian menacing thug's right fist in midair, making a direct hit on sight as the physical impact of Ryu's hard right roundhouse kick had instantly and immediately knocked the pocket knife away from the third young Caucasian menacing thug's own right hand and that the weapon itself had soon dropped to the ground after its short flight through the air, causing the third young Caucasian menacing thug to look on in a complete state of shock and disbelief upon having to see himself lose his own weapon from within his own surprised glance and accord.
"No!" cried the third young Caucasian menacing thug as he saw that he had lost his own weapon from within his own shocked time and manner. As Ryu saw the perfect chance and opportunity to take out his opponent upon sight, the wandering martial artist had wasted no time in throwing a hard right punch straight towards the face of the third young Caucasian menacing thug, making a direct hit upon sight as the physical blow itself had sent the third young Caucasian menacing thug flying back straight into the air from within a fast and strong way so that he could then crash into a nearby northern building's own wall and that the hard impact of the wall against his own back had instantly knocked out the third young Caucasian menacing thug as he had soon fell to the ground upon his own stomach and that he had now lied in a painful and unconscious state from within his own personal time and manner.
"I'm gonna cut you up!" yelled the fourth young Caucasian menacing thug as he had quickly threw in a couple of harsh slashes against Ken, causing the confident martial artist to use his fast evasiveness to instantly avoid and evade each slash attack with ease so that he could immediately retaliate against his opponent by quickly throwing in a powerful right front punch straight towards the fourth young Caucasian menacing thug's own stomach, making a direct hit upon sight as the fourth young Caucasian menacing thug was immediately stopped in his own direct tracks after enduring the unexpected fast physical blow to his stomach and that he had instantly dropped his own box-cutter to the ground so that he could then use his own two arms to clench his bruised stomach while emitting a painful gasp upon having to feel the hard physical punch that had came directly from Ken himself. As Ken saw that the fourth young Caucasian menacing thug was unable to fight back from within his current vulnerability, the confident martial artist had wasted no time in throwing a jumping right roundhouse kick straight towards the face of his opponent, making a direct hit upon sight as the fourth young Caucasian menacing thug was immediately knocked back and off his own two feet in an instant so that he could then crash upon the ground from within a hard manner through his own back, lying in a painful and unconscious state while the right side of his face was now completely bruised up from having to endure Ken's hard second attack from within his own direct sight and accord.
While that was happening, Ryu had found himself taking on the second young Caucasian menacing thug in his own direct time upon sight and that the second young Caucasian menacing thug himself had held and maintained a relentless grin on his own face as he was quite determined to hurt the wandering martial artist from within his own callous and merciless chance and opportunity.
"You're a dead man!" yelled the second young Caucasian menacing thug as he had immediately charged straight towards Ryu from within a fast state while holding his weapon up very high in the air and that he was very determined to attack the wandering martial artist from within the given chance and opportunity of the impromptu fight. When Ryu saw that the second young Caucasian menacing thug had ran straight towards him from within a fast state and that he was directly coming within striking range of his own current standing position, the wandering martial artist had made and held a tough expression on his own face as he had instantly tightened his right fist in midair from within a strong way so that he could then place some of his own Ki energy pressure directly into the core of the fist itself, getting ready to unleash one of his signature moves against the approaching second young Caucasian menacing thug from within the right moment of the exact timing.
"Shoryuken!" yelled Ryu as he had quickly threw his Ki energy pressured right fist straight up towards the lower jaw of the approaching second young Caucasian menacing thug from within the right moment of the exact timing and made a direct hit against him upon sight, in which the strong impact of the special uppercut punch attack had sent the second young Caucasian menacing thug flying straight up towards the air from within a painful manner while Ryu himself had instantly jumped and immediately flew straight up towards the air as well, raising his right fist straight up towards the air from within the process of his own signature move. Eventually, the second young Caucasian menacing thug had soon fell back down to the ground from within his own short flight straight up towards the air so that he could then crash upon the ground from within a hard sight through his own back and that he had instantly and immediately fell into a painful and unconscious state as he was unable to recover from the Shoryuken that was inflicted upon him by Ryu.
As Ryu had landed safely back on the ground through the use of his own two feet and saw that the second young Caucasian menacing thug was now defeated a few feet away from where he was seen from upon sight, the wandering martial artist had emitted a small sigh of relief as he knew and realized that the impromptu fight was now officially over and that he could finally rest and recover his own fighting power and strength from within the process of his own personal time and accord.
"Well Ken, I would have to say and admit that our work here is finally done and that these no-good hooligans won't be able to hurt anybody else for the time being" said Ryu as he had wasted no time in joining up with Ken from upon the left western side of the back alley's middle section.
"That I agree Ryu. Let's go find out on where Eliza and that young woman had went off to so that we can rendezvous with them and finish things up here in no time at all" said Ken as he had looked on from within a calm and decent sight.
"Sounds fine by me. Let's get going" said Ryu as he had nodded in agreement with Ken on his direct idea.
However, before Ryu and Ken could make their eventual leave from the back alley, the two of them had heard a disgruntled growl that had came directly from the entranceway of the back alley itself and to the duo's own unexpected surprise and disbelief, they saw that the first young Caucasian menacing thug had managed to slowly get back up from the ground of his last defeated position while instantly using his right hand to regain and recover his own weapon from off the ground at the same time from within the process of his direct action and upon immediately turning himself around from his current standing position, he had now looked at Ryu and Ken from within an angered glance while holding his weapon up from within a prepared fighting state.
"The two of you aren't going anywhere! No one humiliates the Devil Riders and gets away with it!" yelled the first young Caucasian menacing thug as he had looked on in an infuriated way.
"Don't you know when to give up? Your partners have already been defeated by us and it's quite obvious that you don't stand much of a chance against me and my friend" said Ken as he had looked on from within a calm yet annoyed sight.
"Just make it easy on yourself and admit defeat while you still can" said Ryu as he had looked on from within a sternly manner.
When the first young Caucasian menacing thug had heard those direct statements from both Ryu and Ken with his own detection, he had clenched his own teeth from within an outraged state as he felt and knew from within his own personal mind that he couldn't allow his high pride to be destroyed so easily upon sight and that he was very determined to fight and battle to the bitter end against the duo from within his own personal time and accord.
"Never! I'll never admit defeat to the likes of you two bozos!" yelled the first young Caucasian menacing thug as he had looked on from within a relentless yet determined way.
"Oh well. We tried giving you a fair chance to surrender on peaceful terms, but since you're too stupid to actually consider the idea, my friend and I have no other choice but to fight and defeat you right here and now. Get ready to face your inevitable defeat!" said Ken as he had placed himself back into his own fighting stance while Ryu had also did the same thing as well from within the process of the direct action itself and that the two fighters were now ready and prepared to do battle against the first young Caucasian menacing thug once more without any hesitation or second thought.
However, before Ryu and Ken could get the chance and opportunity to continue their fight against the first young Caucasian menacing thug upon sight, an unexpected voice was suddenly heard from out of nowhere and that it had completely caught both the duo and their opponent off guard when least expected.
"Not so fast you guys! Mind if I step in to have some fun?" said an unexpected female voice that was suddenly heard from within the entranceway of the back alley.
When the first young Caucasian menacing thug had heard that sudden statement from the unexpected female voice, he had immediately turned himself around real quickly in order to see on who it was from within his own determined sight and to his own surprising shock, he saw that a shadowy female figure had quickly descended straight down towards him in an instant from the zenith of the clear blue sky and upon having to come within striking range of the first young Caucasian menacing thug's own current standing position, the shadowy female figure had instantly and immediately used her right foot to quickly stomp on the first young Caucasian menacing thug's own head from within a hard and surprising state, stunning the first young Caucasian menacing thug upon sight as the shadowy female figure would then use the first young Caucasian menacing thug's own head as a stepping stone so that the shadowy female figure could immediately leap off from it very quickly while using the weight of her own right foot to instantly knock the first young Caucasian menacing thug down to the ground through his own stomach from within the direct process of the surprising technique. As the shadowy female figure had instantly and immediately jumped straight over Ryu and Ken's own current standing positions from within her stepping stone-like jump off the first young Caucasian menacing thug's own head so that she could then do a fast forward flip quick turnaround spin from within the air and land safely on the ground through the use of her own two feet right behind Ryu and Ken from within an amazing and impressive manner, the two fighters had quickly turned themselves around real fast in order to see on who it was that had attacked the first young Caucasian menacing thug in such a sudden and unexpected state and upon having to see the real identity of the shadowy female figure with their own personal glances, both Ryu and Ken had emitted some shocked gasps upon sight as the two of them were quite surprised to see and discover the shadowy female figure's true appearance, which was that of a young Chinese woman from within their own precise and perceptive time and opportunity.
The young Chinese woman had looked to be in her Early-20's and that she had long brown hair, in which she had wore it from within an "ox horns" hairstyle with the "ox horns" themselves being covered up by a pair of white silk bao, which had consisted of a pair of white silk brocades and a pair of white silk ribbons, and a pair of brown eyes with red eyeliner for her facial makeup while being dressed in her own fighting attire which had consisted of a blue-yellow short-sleeve modified short qipao mini dress with the lower side sections removed, a pair of white pearl stud earrings, a pair of black-white leather spiked bracelets, a white qipao sash, a pair of brown sheer pantyhose, and a pair of white combat boots. The young Chinese woman who was seen upon sight was identified and named Chun-Li Xiang: a beautiful martial artist who happens to be a Chinese Interpol Special Agent and that her fierce fighting ability was matched by her own personal determination to fight and battle against crime and evil on a daily basis.
"What the...?! Who in the world are you?!" said Ryu as he had talked and spoken while looking on from within a shocked and surprised way in having to see Chun-Li with his own two eyes.
"You could say that I'm a friend who's come to help you and your partner out from within your current situation. I was minding my own personal business a few minutes earlier when I had suddenly encountered two young women running down the sidewalk and that they had told me about the present problem that's happening here right now, thus I had decided to come here in order to see and learn on what's going on at the moment. I take it that the two of you are Ryu and Ken, right?" said Chun-Li as she had looked on from within a calm and decent sight while placing her hands on her hips and having a small smile on her own face.
"Indeed we are. Is Eliza and the other woman safe and okay?" said Ken as he had looked on from within a firm yet determined way.
"Yes they are and that they've already called for the local police to come here so that they can take care of these dirty criminals in no time at all. Speaking of which..." said Chun-Li as she, Ryu, and Ken had soon turned their instant and immediate attention back over towards the first young Caucasian menacing thug, in which he was now slowly getting back up from the ground for a second time while having a right footprint that was seen from upon the top of his own head and upon managing to stand back up from within his own personal accord and manner so that he could then turn himself around from his current standing position once more, the first young Caucasian menacing thug had emitted an instant growl of anger and hatred as he didn't expect to be attacked so suddenly from within such a shocking and surprising way by the beautiful martial artist upon sight.
"You little bitch! How dare you step on my head and use it as some sort of stepping stone! I'll see to it that you suffer even more than the two bozos themselves!" yelled the first young Caucasian menacing thug as he had looked at the trio from within an angered state while gripping his aluminum baseball bat from within the process of his own personal hatred towards Chun-Li.
However, before the first young Caucasian menacing thug could get the direct chance and opportunity to attack Ryu, Ken, and Chun-Li from within his own callous time and accord, he had soon heard another unexpected voice that had came directly from behind his own current standing position and through this, he had instantly and immediately felt a small tap on his right shoulder from within the process of the sudden detection itself.
"Sorry, but I'm afraid that I can't allow that to happen" said an unexpected male voice.
When the first young Caucasian menacing thug had heard the unexpected male voice from within an instant and had immediately turned himself around very quickly from upon his own current standing position in order to look and see on who was exactly talking to him once more upon sight, his face was surprisingly struck by the hard right punch of a shadowy male figure's own right fist and that the first young Caucasian menacing thug himself had soon fell back down to the ground in a painful and unconscious state through his own back while his own left cheek and mouth was now bloodied and bruised from having to endure the unexpected yet surprise attack. As Ryu and Ken saw that the first young Caucasian menacing thug was now defeated upon sight, the two fighters had immediately turned their perceptive sights over towards the shadowy male figure who had instantly attacked their enemy from within the given chance and opportunity of the current situation itself and from within a few seconds of having to see the shadowy male figure's own real identity with their own precise glances, both Ryu and Ken were very shocked and surprised once more as they didn't expect to see the shadowy male figure's true appearance, which was that of a young Caucasian man from within the impromptu scenario of the late morning.
The young Caucasian man had looked to be in his Early-30's and that he had a short blonde flattop haircut and a pair of blue eyes with a small silver chain that was worn around his neck which had a small silver military dog tag hanging from it upon sight and a pair of American flag tattoos that were seen and located from upon the upper side sections of his own two muscular arms while being dressed in his own fighting attire which had consisted of a green sleeveless a-shirt, a pair of green-brown camouflage pants, a pair of white athletic socks, and a pair of green-brown military boots. The young Caucasian man who was seen upon sight was identified and named William F. Guile: a tough military soldier who happens to be a United States Air Force Colonel, in which he had always fought and battled for the pride and dignity of his own home country and he also happens to be the brother-in-law of Eliza due to the fact that his wife, Julia is Eliza's older sister.
"What the...?! Guile?!" said Ken as he had looked at Guile with his own shocked and surprised eyes in having to see him both directly and unexpectedly from within his own personal sight.
When Guile saw that Ken had looked at him from within a shocked yet surprised manner, the tough military soldier had made and held a small smirk on his face as he had knew and realized the instant and immediate fact that his sudden and unexpected appearance had completely caught the confident martial artist off guard upon sight and that Guile himself was quite very determined to see on how Ken was doing right now from within his own personal time and accord.
A few minutes later from around the time of 10:56 A.M. in the late morning, the four young Caucasian menacing thugs of the Devil Riders were soon arrested by the local police upon sight and that they were eventually placed from inside the local police cars which were seen and parked from upon the street of where the back alley itself was located from. While Chun-Li and the young Caucasian businesswoman, who was able to get back both her purse and her jewelry in due time was currently busy in having to talk and speak with a middle-aged Caucasian male police officer about the impromptu situation that had occurred and happened from within the back alley a few minutes ago, Ryu, Ken, Eliza, and Guile had currently stood together from upon the right eastern side of the street's southern sidewalk and that the quartet themselves had took their own personal time in having to converse with each other about the current ordeal that was happening right now from within Metro City.
"I have to say and admit that I'm quite shocked and surprised to see you here in Metro City Guile. I take it that you had came here on account of Cody's death?" said Ken as he had talked and spoken to Guile from within a calm and decent tone.
"Indeed I have Ken. I had decided to come here in order to check up on both Haggar and his daughter Jessica right after my cousin, Gunloc had informed me that Cody was murdered from within last Saturday. He feels and believes that some members of the Mad Gear Gang had killed Cody from within the given chance and opportunity via an act of revenge, but unfortunately, he has no definitive proof of his own tough allegation. Gunloc had told me that he was preparing to leave Los Angeles so that he could arrive here himself and bust some Mad Gear skulls, but knowing my cousin's hardheaded stupidity when it comes to thinking of a strategic plan, I had offered to come here instead in order to check up and see on what's been going on as of late" said Guile as he had looked on from within a firm and determined state.
"That's very nice to hear and know Guile. Myself, Eliza, and Ryu were also doing the same thing as well from within our own personal time here in Metro City. The three of us also feel and believe that the Mad Gear Gang may in fact have had something to do with Cody's murder from within last Saturday" said Ken as he had talked and spoken from within a confident sight.
"Indeed and if we fully learn and discover that the Mad Gear Gang was truly involved in Cody's death, we'll see to it that all of its members are fought and defeated upon sight so that they can then be brought to justice in no time at all" said Ryu as he had looked on from within a determined way.
When Guile had heard that statement from Ryu with his own detection, the tough military soldier, who had learned and understood both Ryu and his past history from within their impromptu initial introduction to each other right after the past ordeal from within the back alley had made and held a small smile on his face as he had nodded in agreement with the wandering martial artist on his direct word and knew from within his own personal mind that Ryu had indeed shared the same thoughts of justice and determination from within the current scenario of the tough ordeal that was happening right now in Metro City.
As Chun-Li had gotten through in having to talk and speak with the middle-aged Caucasian male police officer about the recent incident with the Devil Riders, the beautiful martial artist, who had properly introduced herself to Ryu, Ken, Eliza, and Guile right after the past ordeal from within the back alley had soon wasted no time in immediately making her way over to the direct location of where the quartet had stood together from upon sight and that Chun-Li herself had held and maintained a small frown on her own face as she had instantly rendezvous with the quartet from within her own personal manner and accord.
"Well guys, I've just gotten through in having a conversation with the leading police officer and he had explained to me that the recent attack against the young businesswoman is the third incident of gang violence that had occurred and happened from within this morning" said Chun-Li.
"The third incident of gang violence from within this morning?" said Eliza as she had looked on from within a surprised way upon having to hear that particular statement from Chun-Li with her own detection.
"Indeed. It turns out that two previous crimes had occurred and happened a few hours earlier and that the both of them may in fact have been perpetrated by the same group of thugs whom we had fought and defeated not too long ago. The first crime from within this morning was the harsh carjacking of an elderly old man who was preparing to leave a gas station while the second crime was the brutal mugging of two young teenagers as they were heading straight to their own high school. The local police feel and believe that the Devil Riders may indeed have been the ones responsible for both of these past crimes and are now holding them in jail until further notice" said Chun-Li as she had talked and spoken from within a calm yet frustrated tone.
"That's nice to hear Chun-Li. We can at least now know that those four scumbags won't be able to attack and hurt anyone else for the time being" said Ken.
"That may be so Ken, but still, the rising violence in Metro City will continue to increase and get worse from within due time, especially if the local street gangs are going to attempt in taking advantage of Cody's death in order to continue their own evil and despicable ways" said Guile as he had looked on in a sternly and serious state.
"Guile's got a good point on that statement there. I'd say that the five of us should head on over to Haggar's home as soon as possible so that we can check up and see on how he and Jessica are doing right now from within their own personal time and accord. As the Mayor of Metro City, Haggar should be able to find a perfect solution to stop and prevent the rising gang violence from growing any further before it soon escalates and gets out of hand upon sight" said Ryu as he had looked on from within his own determined manner.
As Ken, Eliza, Chun-Li, and Guile had heard that direct statement from Ryu with their own detection, the four of them had nodded in agreement with the wandering martial artist on his direct word and knew from within their own personal minds that Haggar was truly and indeed the only one capable of fully restoring both law and order back to Metro City from within his own noble and valiant duty as Mayor.
However, unknown to Ryu, Ken, Eliza, Chun-Li, and Guile from within their current conversation with each other, two young Caucasian men had secretly kept their silent watch upon the quintet from within a mysterious yet suspicious manner while standing together a short distance away from upon the left western side of the street's northern sidewalk and that the first young Caucasian man had wasted no time in using a small black compact still camera to snap a few pictures of the quintet for unknown reasons.
The two young Caucasian men had looked to be in their Mid-30's, in which the first young Caucasian man had a clear bald head and a pair of blue eyes which were seen behind a pair of black bodyguard sunglasses while the second young Caucasian man had short sharp brown hair and a pair of red eyes which were seen behind a pair of black bodyguard sunglasses and that the two of them were dressed in their own formal attires which had consisted of a white long-sleeve dress shirt, a black silk necktie, a black long-sleeve suit jacket, a pair of black dress pants, a pair of black dress socks, and a pair of black dress shoes. The two young Caucasian men who were seen upon sight were identified and named Ripper and Hopper: loyal bodyguards of Geese who had served him with undying loyalty from within their own given time and accord upon sight and that the two of them had worked side by side alongside with Billy K. as the trio had sought to defend and protect their own boss from any potential danger and threat from within the given chance and opportunity.
Metro City, New York, United States of America/ Industrial Area District
March 5, 1991/ 11:04 A.M.
From around the time of 11:04 A.M. in the late morning at an abandoned and dilapidated warehouse which had lied and resided from within the southeastern city section of Metro City's Industrial Area District, Guy was currently making his way through the left western main front section of the warehouse upon sight and that the noble ninja had held and maintained a small frown on his face as he was ready and prepared to confront any unknown threat that might come his own way when least expected. As Guy had looked around throughout the entire warehouse from within a calm yet determined manner, he had emitted a small sigh as he had decided to stop from within his own current walking so that he could stand still from upon a fixed location in the warehouse's own left western main front section while using his own right hand to instantly pull out a small white piece of paper from inside his pants' right front pocket, enabling him to immediately read a direct message that was seen and written from upon the small white piece of paper itself. The direct message had said: "If you wish to learn the full truth about what had happened to your friend Cody, come to Warehouse #4 in the Industrial Area District by 11:00 A.M. today...and come alone". When Guy had read the direct message that was seen and written from upon the small white piece of paper, he had soon placed it back from inside his pants' right front pocket and had eventually folded his arms across his chest from within a calm and decent state as he was now quite very determined to figure out on who had truly summoned him to the warehouse from within an unexpected yet suspicious manner.
"The note that I had found taped from upon my home's own front door had said for me to come directly here to this place in order to gain some information about Cody's death. I don't know on whether or not I should've actually came to this place alone through the caution of a possible trap, but as a ninja who's been trained in Bushinryu Ninpo, I am fully ready and prepared to fight and battle against the forces of evil from within the shadows themselves. Hopefully, this isn't a mere trap made and held by some members of the Mad Gear Gang from within a potential surprise attempt to ambush and attack me when least expected, but if that be the case, I'm more than ready and prepared to fight and defeat my fair share of enemies from within the given chance and opportunity right here and now" said Guy in his mind while looking on from within a serious and determined sight.
Just then, an unexpected voice was suddenly heard from within the darkness of the warehouse's own top ceiling rafters and that the voice itself had completely caught Guy off guard in his own precise and perceptive time and accord.
"Ah! I'm quite glad to see and know that you were able to come here on such short notice my ninja friend" said an unexpected male voice.
When Guy had heard the unexpected male voice from within his detection, he had emitted a small gasp as he had instantly and immediately recognized the voice in his own precise and perceptive mind and that he had quickly looked straight up towards the warehouse's own dark top ceiling rafters in order to see on where the voice itself had directly came from upon sight while unfolding his arms from across his chest at the same time from within the process of his own direct action.
"Rolento, is that you up there?!" yelled Guy as he had looked straight up towards the dark top ceiling rafters of the warehouse while having and maintaining a sternly expression on his own face at the same time.
From there, a shadowy male figure who was silently lurking from within the darkness of the warehouse's own dark top ceiling rafters had quickly jumped straight down towards the direct location of where Guy was seen from upon sight and that the shadowy male figure himself had soon landed from upon the right eastern side of the direct location from within a safe and perfect manner while instantly and immediately standing a few feet away from where Guy was seen from. Upon having to see the real identity and true appearance of the shadowy male figure, which was that of a young German Caucasian man with his own sharp glance, Guy had narrowed his own two eyes from within a suspicious way as he had instantly and immediately knew and realized on who the young German Caucasian man was upon sight and that the noble ninja himself wasn't too surprised to see him from within the impromptu scenario of the late morning.
The young German Caucasian man had looked to be in his Early-30's and that he had short brown hair and a pair of green eyes, along with a small slash scar that was seen and located from upon the middle section of his face, in which the scar itself had ran from the right side of his forehead all the way down to his left cheek while being dressed in his own fighting attire which had consisted of a red sleeveless a-shirt, a yellow sleeveless military jacket with a pair of brown leather weapon belts that had went over his shoulders, a red military beret, a red military scarf that was seen and worn around his neck, a pair of brown fingerless military gloves, a pair of yellow military pants, a pair of white athletic socks, and a pair of brown military boots. In the right hand of the young German Caucasian man was a green-red military baton staff and that he had held it in a strong grip from within his own personal time and accord. The young German Caucasian man who was seen upon sight was identified and named Rolento F. Schugerg: a strict military soldier who was once a member of the Mad Gear Gang, but had since gone his own separate way right after the downfall and destruction of the dangerous criminal organization.
"Ha ha ha! It's quite very nice to see you again Guy Hattori. I have to say and admit that you must be quite very surprised to see me here right after our last fight from within a while back" said Rolento as he had talked and spoken in a sharp tone while looking on from within a confident manner.
"Not exactly Rolento. Were you the one who had sent me the note that was taped from upon my home's own front door?" said Guy as he had looked at Rolento from within a sternly state.
"Indeed I did Guy and the reason of this comes from the direct fact in which I have some intriguing information regarding the death of your fallen comrade Cody. Information that you might be quite very interested in upon sight my ninja friend" said Rolento.
When Guy had heard that statement from Rolento with his own detection, the noble ninja had emitted a suspicious growl as he didn't appreciate the perceptive fact that a former enemy was the one who had held such vital information about his best friend's murder and that Guy himself was now quite very determined to see on whether or not the strict military soldier was indeed true about his own precise word towards him upon sight.
"I'm not in the mood for your petty games Rolento. Knowing and realizing that you're here right now makes me truly suspect that the Mad Gear Gang was indeed behind Cody's murder and if they happen to be the culprits..." said Guy as he had tightened both of his fists in an instant while looking on from within an angered and irritated sight.
"Ha ha ha! There's no need for you to get angry my ninja friend. As a military solider who's faced and endured the many scenarios and situations of both carnage and bloodshed from within the various battlefields of war and violence, I can easily know and understand the same type of anger and frustration when it comes to trying in gaining valuable information about avenging a fallen comrade in battle. However, I fully assure you that my former comrades in Mad Gear has had nothing to do with Cody's death and that I'd be more than willing and determined to truly show you a soldier's noble and valiant honor in word by having to tell you the direct information that I had recently gained about the murder itself via my own personal and reliable military reconnaissance sources. What do you say to that my ninja friend?" said Rolento.
When Guy had heard that direct statement from Rolento with his own detection, he had made and held a small frown on his face as he had knew and realized the hard and bitter fact that this was perhaps a rare and much-needed chance and opportunity for him to finally get some perceptive details about the murder of his best friend and that the noble ninja himself was quite determined to see on whether or not the strict military soldier was indeed telling the full truth about the direct information from within his own precise sight and time.
"I don't know on whether or not I should actually consider this a good idea in having to gain such crucial information from someone like you, but seeing as though I have no other leads to follow at the moment, I'll have to listen to your own word for now. Start talking Rolento" said Guy as he had untightened both of his fists in an instant so that he could then fold his arms across his chest once more while looking at Rolento with his own calm yet strict sight.
"As you wish Guy" said Rolento as he had nodded in agreement with Guy on his direct statement so that he could then waste no time in beginning his own direct explanation about the full details of Cody's murder towards the noble ninja without any hesitation or second thought.
Metro City, New York, United States of America/ Haggar Residence
March 5, 1991/ 11:08 A.M.
From around the time of 11:08 A.M. in the late morning at the Haggar Residence, Ryu, Ken, Eliza, Chun-Li, and Guile were currently taking their time in having to talk and speak with Haggar from within the downstairs living room of the residence and that the quintet themselves were seated in their own respective places during the current conversation while drinking some glasses of ice cold lemonade that Haggar had provided for them during their own precise and perceptive visit to his home from within the current scenario of the late morning.
"Thanks again for having to come here on such short notice everyone. You have no idea on what Jessica and I have been through ever since Cody was tragically murdered from within last Saturday" said Haggar as he was seated in his chair that was seen and located from upon the right eastern side of the downstairs living room while looking at the quintet from within a calm yet frustrated way.
"It's no problem Haggar. All of us are more than willing and determined to graciously give you and Jessica a much-needed helping hand in having to get through this tough and difficult time" said Guile as he had drunk his own glass of ice cold lemonade while being seated in his left western side chair.
"Agreed and speaking of Jessica, where exactly is she right now?" said Eliza as she and Ken were seated together in the northern sofa while looking on from within a worried and concerned manner.
"Upstairs in her bedroom. Jessica has been emotionally depressed ever since she had heard and learned about Cody's unexpected murder from within last Saturday and that she won't come out of her room for anything. I've tried to tell Jessica that everything is gonna be okay and that we'll be able to get through this tough and difficult time together, but she won't listen to a word that I say to her upon sight. The only other time that Jessica's been like this was when Nancy, my deceased wife and Jessica's late mother was brutally murdered by the city's gang violence a few years ago and that it had took me at least an entire month to fully and truly convince Jessica in not letting her mother's death affect her own personal health and welfare. This time around, I don't exactly know on how to help Jessica out, due to the fact that she had already endured a previous ordeal in which the Mad Gear Gang had kidnapped her from within an attempt to force me under their control and that I had to set out on a rescue mission with both Cody and his good friend Guy so that we could rescue and save her from them. I feel that as a father to Jessica, I have completely failed her in trying to protect those whom she really loves and cares for and about the most and now I truly wonder on if she'll ever forgive me for letting Cody get killed when least expected" said Haggar as he had looked on from within a frustrated yet saddened state.
When Chun-Li had heard that statement from Haggar with her own detection and saw that he was very emotionally frustrated from within his own saddened time and accord, the beautiful martial artist, to whom she and Ryu had properly introduced themselves to Haggar upon arriving at his home with their own friends upon sight had soon made and held a determined expression on her own face as she had immediately stood up from her left western side chair while still looking at Haggar in a calm and decent manner and knew from within her own personal and perceptive mind that she had to instantly help the macho wrestler out in terms of both psychological power and strength.
"You shouldn't be thinking about stuff like that at a time like this Haggar. Jessica knows and realizes deep down from within her own personal heart and spirit that you're a kind and caring father who's more than willing and determined to go through great lengths in order to help her out when need be. The direct and absolute fact that you, Cody, and Guy had fought and battled against the entire Mad Gear Gang in order to help rescue your daughter from them and that you were more than willing and determined to put your own life on the line in order to help save Jessica from the threatening danger proves and shows that you're indeed a loving and devoted father who'll fight and battle against any odds that are stacked against you in order to help ensure both the safety and happiness of your own daughter and that Jessica herself would truly be real happy and proud to have you as her dad, no matter what" said Chun-Li as she had talked and spoken from within a passionate and determined way towards Haggar upon sight.
When Haggar had heard that direct explanation from Chun-Li with his own detection while also remembering the past in which he would always be there for Jessica no matter what and vice versa for Jessica always being there for her father no matter what as well, the macho wrestler had soon made and held a strong yet emotional smile on his face as he knew and realized from within his own personal mind that the beautiful martial artist was indeed right about her own direct word to him upon sight and that Haggar himself had knew and realized the direct and absolute fact that he couldn't afford to let his own personal frustration get in the way of him having to help his own daughter out during the current scenario of the tough ordeal that was happening right now.
"You're absolutely right about what you've said to me Chun-Li and even though I'm still blaming myself for letting Jessica feel the cruel harshness in having to suddenly lose another loved one when least expected, I still have to remember the direct and absolute fact that she'll always love me for being there to help her out when she needs it the most and that I'll still continue to help aid my daughter from within any way that I can in the near future. Thank you so very much for helping me out in having to remind me of my strong and noble duty as a father Chun-Li" said Haggar as he had nodded in agreement with Chun-Li on her own direct explanation to him.
"It's no problem Haggar" said Chun-Li as she had looked on while having and maintaining a calm and decent smile on her own face.
"I hate of having to interrupt this conversation so suddenly you guys, but what exactly are we gonna do from this point on? Considering the various gang attacks that had already occurred and happened from within this morning, I'd say that we'd need to be on an extreme high alert for any possible and potential future gang attacks that might occur and happen in due time" said Ken as he had talked and spoken from within a concerned sight.
"That I agree Ken. After our impromptu fight against those hooligans in the back alley, it's quite safe to say and admit that the citizens of Metro City are in immediate danger once more, especially if the gang situation itself worsens in the near future" said Ryu as he had talked and spoken from within a cautious state while being seated in his left western side chair and drinking his own glass of ice cold lemonade upon sight.
"Indeed. When I head back to the office at City Hall from within tomorrow, I'll immediately inform the City Hall Council about having to initiate and utilize a strong increase of police patrols throughout the entire city and hopefully, the increased presence of the MCPD will cause the local street gangs to rethink about any possible and potential plans of violence and destruction against the innocent citizens" said Haggar as he had looked on from within a firm and determined manner.
Upon hearing that direct explanation from Haggar with their own detection, Ryu, Ken, Eliza, Chun-Li, and Guile had made and held some determined expressions on their faces as the five of them had knew and realized the direct and absolute fact that the macho wrestler had truly required their much-needed assistance in order to help ensure both law and order from within Metro City and that the quintet themselves had wasted no time in fully agreeing with Haggar on his proposed idea. When Haggar saw and realized that the quintet was more than willing and determined to help him out from within the current ordeal that was happening right now in Metro City, the macho wrestler had made and held a satisfied yet determined smile on his own face as he knew and realized from within his own personal mind that he truly wouldn't be alone from within his current mission in having to help clean up Metro City upon sight and that Haggar himself was now ready and prepared to face and combat any dangerous threat that would come his own way when least expected.
Metro City, New York, United States of America/ Industrial Area District
March 5, 1991/ 11:12 A.M.
Meanwhile back at the warehouse from around the time of 11:12 A.M. in the late morning, Guy and Rolento had still continued their own impromptu conversation with each other about the precise details of Cody's murder and that the noble ninja had held and maintained a sternly and serious expression on his face as he had learned quite much about the perceptive information that the strict military soldier had given to him from within the current scenario of the late morning.
"So you're telling me that this Geese Howard person had killed Cody just so he could make his presence known to the other local street gangs of the city while also trying to show and convince everyone that crime and violence would still exist in Metro City no matter what?!" said Guy as he had looked on from within a surprised yet angered manner upon having to hear a statement that had came directly from Rolento himself.
"Indeed my ninja friend and as I had already said to you before from within our current conversation with each other, Geese Howard is a powerful and dangerous crime lord who shows absolutely no mercy or sympathy to anyone who dares to cross his own ruthless and relentless path. Even Belger himself had told me and the rest of the Mad Gear Gang from within the past that Geese Howard is a cold and intimidating person to associate with and that those who dare try to challenge his superior power and authority won't survive the outcome of his own callous and merciless wrath. I give you and Haggar a fair bit of warning in which the two of you should keep a close eye over your own shoulders. Geese knows full well that you two were responsible for both the downfall and destruction of the Mad Gear Gang and that he won't hesitate to eliminate the two of you if he considers both you and Haggar a major threat to his own ambition in having to take over Metro City" said Rolento as he had soon walked past Guy from within an instant upon saying his last word to him upon sight so that the strict military soldier could then waste no time in having to make his own immediate way towards the warehouse's left western main front door from within his own given chance and opportunity.
"Hang on just a minute Rolento! As much as I appreciate this valuable information from you, why did you truly tell me all of this and where exactly do you stand from within this current ordeal?" said Guy as he had immediately turned himself around from his current standing position in a quick way so that he could instantly look at Rolento from within a serious and suspicious state.
When Rolento had heard that direct question from Guy with his own detection, the strict military soldier had immediately stopped from within his own direct tracks so that he could instantly make and hold a small smirk on his own face as he knew and realized the direct and absolute fact that the noble ninja didn't exactly trust him upon sight and that Rolento himself had easily understood both the distrust and suspicion that had came directly from his own former enemy.
"There's no need for you to get very suspicious about my current actions and activities my ninja friend. I fully and truly assure you that I will not get involved in the upcoming ordeal that's about to take place from within due time. In fact, I'm planning on leaving Metro City from within tonight so that I can begin my new journey with Sodom throughout the entire world as the two of us seek to now help build and create a utopian nation. Crazy as it may sounds, Sodom and I are quite very determined to construct and establish a utopian nation where people can truly live in a complete state of peace and harmony under the strict and absolute belief of true order and discipline and that the two of us will fight and battle against those who dare to go against our noble and valiant ideals. I personally assure you that Sodom and I are not gonna engage in any more criminal activity from within the future and that the only thing we seek out now is the total establishment of our utopian nation. I know and realize the direct and absolute fact that my own past actions from within Mad Gear can never be forgotten nor forgiven, but I do wish to make up for my despicable crimes against the city by giving both you and Haggar this fair and decent warning about Geese Howard and his shady background. If we're able to meet up once again from within the future, I would really love to challenge you to a fair one-on-one fight so that I can see and know on if you're truly worthy of indeed being a true rival from within my own precise and perceptive eyes. Until then, be careful and try to take care of yourself Guy Hattori" said Rolento as he had talked and spoken from within a determined tone while turning his head around from his current standing position so that he could look back at Guy with his own precise sight and upon having to say his last perceptive word to him, the strict military soldier had wasted no time in turning his head back around from his current standing position so that he could eventually leave the warehouse from within a calm and decent state, causing Guy to look on in a sternly yet uncertain sight as he had now tried to figure out on whether or not Rolento was indeed telling the truth towards him from within the impromptu meeting of the late morning.
Metro City, New York, United States of America/ Uptown District
March 5, 1991/ 12:02 P.M.
From around the time of 12:02 P.M. in the early afternoon at a busy street that was seen and located from within the northwestern city section of Metro City's Uptown District, a yellow taxi cab had currently made its own way down the right eastern right lane of the busy street's southeastern direction upon sight and in due time, the taxi cab itself had soon drove on over to a vacated parking space that was seen and located near the southern sidewalk of the busy street so that it could then park there from within an instant and allow a young Caucasian man who had sat in the backseat of the taxi cab from upon its right side with a large white duffel bag sitting next to him from upon his left side to immediately prepare himself in having to leave and exit the vehicle from within his own personal manner and accord.
The young Caucasian man had looked to be in his Mid-20's and that he had long blonde hair, in which it was tied up into a ponytail through the use of a blue elastic hairtie and a pair of blue eyes while being dressed in his own casual attire which had consisted of a white sleeveless t-shirt, a red sleeveless leather jacket with a white star symbol design on the back of the jacket, a red-white baseball cap with the red words "Fatal Fury" on the white front of the baseball cap, a pair of black fingerless leather gloves, a pair of blue denim jeans, a pair of white athletic socks, and a pair of red-white athletic shoes. The young Caucasian man who was seen upon sight was identified and named Terry Bogard: a traveling martial artist who was well-known throughout most of the fighting world by his personal nickname, the "Lone Wolf" and that he had always enjoyed a good and exciting fight when it had came to battling against strong and powerful opponents from within the given chance and opportunity.
As Terry saw and realized that he had finally arrived at his planned destination, he had wasted no time in using his right hand to immediately pull out a small brown trifold wallet from inside his pants' right front pocket so that he could then instantly use his left hand to quickly get a couple of $50 dollar bills from the wallet and place it back from inside his pants' right front pocket, enabling him to swiftly hand the dollar bills over to a middle-aged Caucasian male taxi driver without any hesitation or second thought.
"Here you go. Keep the change" said Terry as he gave the middle-aged Caucasian male taxi driver his fee money upon sight so that he could instantly get out of the taxi cab from its right side while holding and carrying his large white duffel bag along with him from within the process of his own immediate departure.
"Thanks" said the middle-aged Caucasian male taxi driver as he got the fee money from Terry with his own right hand and upon having to put the fee money from inside a nearby small black taxi money bag which had lied next to him from upon the passenger seat of the taxi cab while Terry himself had soon left the vehicle upon sight, the middle-aged Caucasian male taxi driver had wasted no time in pulling out the taxi cab from its current parking space so that he could instantly and immediately get it back into the right eastern right lane of the busy street without any problem, enabling him to head on to his next assignment from within the current duration of the early afternoon.
As Terry had now stood in a firm and strong manner from upon the southern sidewalk of the busy street that he was seen from while looking at the huge buildings that was within his own personal sight and using his right hand to hold and carry his large white duffel bag over his right shoulder, the traveling martial artist had soon made and held a small frown on his face as he knew and realized that having to complete his own personal mission from within Metro City wouldn't exactly be an easy task for him to do upon sight, but Terry himself had knew and realized the direct and absolute fact that failure was not an option for him and that he had sought to complete his own personal mission from within his own given time and opportunity.
"So this is the famous Metro City. I have to say and admit that this place is almost quite similar to South Town in terms of both structure and lifestyle. If what Richard at the Pao Pao Cafe says is true about Geese trying to create and set up a new establishment of his business corporation here, I have to personally figure out on what he's really up to, especially since his past announcement to come here for business purposes comes suspiciously close to the same time in which that young local hero named Cody Travers was found murdered not too long ago. If Geese had anything to do with that guy's death, I'll see to it that he pays dearly for it through the use of my own two fists. It's quite safe to say and know that the Lone Wolf has indeed finally arrived at a new feeding ground and that I'm ravenously looking forward to mauling and tearing apart any strong and powerful opponents who wishes to challenge me to a fight upon sight" said Terry in his mind as he had decided to walk down the right eastern direction of the busy street's southern sidewalk upon sight and that the traveling martial artist had made and held a determined expression on his own face as he was now ready and prepared to face and endure the new ordeal which had lied ahead for him from within his own personal state and accord.
