Charlie narrowed his eyes at Guile. His former pupil had apparently
been sent by the military brass to extract him from his mission.
Although Charlie couldnt quite ignore the pride he felt that Guile had
been able to track him down he also knew he couldnt jeprodize his
mission at this point, not when it was so close. The bombs Adam and
Chun-li set in the Shadowloo base were due to go off at any minute,
and, god willing they'd be far away and Bison still inside. He shook
his head knowing he had to finish this fast.

Guile struck first, dashing at his former mentor. When he
was finally in range, he brought his leg up with a small leap as he
plowed his knee into Charlie's midsection. Charlie took the full force
of the blow, managing to wrap his arms around Guile's body, and,
despite the lack of oxygen in his lungs, suplexed Guile into the ground
behind him. Slightly dizzy from that exchange, he withdrew, moving
back a few feet to catch his breath.

Gulie got to his feet, his hair messed up and vision taking a
couple of seconds to fix. Regaining his senses, he drew back both his arms, the
forearms and hands gaining a dull yellow glow. He thrust them
forward, both arms passing one under the other. "SONIC BOOM!" There was a loud
crashing sound as the disk-shaped blast made its way toward its intended target.

Charlie moved to the left, dodging the wave of ki, and started
closing the distance between himself and Guile. "Still using your
trump card as an opener eh?" He asked, throwing a punch at Guile's
face, the added momentum of his charge stunning Guile, though he
still used the momentum to throw a spinning back fist into Charlie's
own face. After the mutual punching they stood watching one another,
each in their respective stances.

"Who is that guy?" Adam asked looking over at Chun-li.

"His name is Guile, he was one of Charlie's freinds and a
student of his. I guess he came to stop us, based on hearing that arguement." She
responded, not taking her eyes off the fight in case she'd be needed.

This time it was Charlie who struck first, leaning back into a
standing backflip. "Sommersault...SLASH!" He called out just as his
foot went straight up Guile's shirt, leaving a clean rip up the middle
and a small trail of blood. Charlie kept the momentum going when he
landed, repeating one of Guile's earlier tactics. "Sonic Boom!" The
blast moved faster then Guile's own, a fact that caught him offguard
and caused him to be hit in the chest, sending Guile flying back a
good ten feet before landing.

"Give it up Guile." Charlie stated calmly, staring down his
pupil. "I taught you everything you know about fighting. There's
nothing you can throw at me that I can't counter."

"Really now?" Guile growled, spitting on the ground. Saliva mixed
with a little blood hit the dirt as he ran in again. Charlie
steeled himself for another bout of physical combat, but was briefly
confused when Guile stopped just outside arms
reach. "Sonic...Hemisphere!" It seemed as though two enormous Sonic
Booms erupted from Guile's body, circling like tornadoes and catching the
other pilot unawares.

Adam and Chun-li watched in stunned silence as Charlie took
the brunt of the attack, being launched into the air before colliding
once more with the dirt. His resiliance showed, however when he rolled
out of the way of Guile's attempt to stomp him, getting back to his
feet. "Alright..." He puffed. "I stand corrected about you not being
able to surprise me...But I've still got surprises of my own." He
didn't let his gaze wander from Guile as he manueved around him, Guile
matching him step for step.

"Sonic Boom!" Guile hollered, trying the original tactic again.

Charlie smiled almost like he'd been waiting for it. "Sonic
Break!" He countered, firing off one Sonic Boom, the two blasts negating themselves.
In rapid sucession, Charlie threw out four more, each one succesively hitting
Guile in the stomach or chest, once again knocking the larger man to
the ground. He grumbled, shaking slightly as he reached his feet.
Charlie shook his head as he watched Guile's attempts.

"I'm...not backing...down. I have my orders, Charlie." He wiped
some blood from his lip as he waited for Charlie's next move. The more experienced fighter slowly
closed the distance, and when Charlie refrained from attacking until
Guile was in range he smiled. "Flash Kick!" With those words Guile
immitated Charlie's sommersault Slash. Charlie seemed to be
expecting it but didn't fully clear out for a dodge, taking the brunt
of the attack in his shoulder. There was a brief popping sound and his
arm hung limply at his side. "Give up now, Charlie!" Guile roared.

"Why? From this?" He asked Guile, catching his breath and
gritting his teeth. "I've had worse." With that he gripped his useless
arm and painfully popped his shoulder back into place.

"Then this time I won't miss!" Guile yelled, charging once
again. "Flash Kick!" This time it seemed Charlie was completely
prepared for the tactic, ducking under it and rolling behind Guile as
he landed.

"Now what was the first thing I told you?" He asked. "Never
give the enemy your back. Otherwise they might do something
like...THIS!" Charlie yelled, dashing forward and throwing out several
punches and kicks at Guile from behind. "Crossfire...Blitz!"

Guile let out a few grunts of pain, but couldn't even turn around.
After the assault finished he slumped to the ground, gasping for air.

"Now, can we discuss this all logically?" He asked, looking
down at Guile.

Just as those words were uttered there was a deep laughter
from nearby. Standing in the shadows was a large man in a red
military outfit. His eyes, although holding neither irisis nor pupils,
seemed to see all around him with a strange blue glow. He surveyed
the scene before him a slight scowl on his face. "One more then I
anticipated...no matter."

"Bison..." Chun-li's tone was between a growl and a hiss as
she narrowed her eyes at him.

"I must thank you Colonel Guile. You and Commander Charlie
nullified each other nicely. All that remains is ending your lives,
and then ending your partner Chun-li...and the child's life as well."
With a malicious smile he extended one of his hands. "You shall all
bare witness to my limitless power. PHYCHO SHOT!" He screamed out, the
pulsating ball of energy hurtled toward Guile and Charlie, neither in
much a condition to evade it...
