Author's note: My computer is down again, so I had to do this one in the Library.
As little Ingrid was free in the hands of the Street Fighter Fortune Teller, she was able to concentrate her hidden energy. Even at the hands of Shadaloo, Ingrid's power was slowly growing as she got older and the situation got tenser. Because of Rose's friendship with Ryu and her knowledge on hidden abilities, she was able to sense Ingrid in danger. It was relief for both of them escaping Shadaloo custody, but they weren't out of the woods yet.
Many Shadaloo troops were alerted on their presence. Each and every one of the soldiers was armed to the teeth with fully loaded machine guns. Diverting their attention, Rose shot a projectile attack at random location. Without second thoughts, the Shadaloo thugs rushed over to the place. Having fallen for another illusion, the Shadaloo soldiers were taken down easily. It gave Rose the chance to disabled the security cameras, thus her and Ingrid were able to make their quiet escape. They were now nowhere in sight.
"Any signs of the intruders?" one soldier inquired to another.
"No, that damn woman tricked us again!" The second soldier replied.
The first soldier sighed in disappoint, "Lord Bison is not going to be happy about this. Whatever it takes, go search the area for that woman and brat, don't let them escape."
Hitch hiking a ride from stranger, Rose and Ingrid were now out of Shadaloo hands. Even if it was not official, they were just glad to be out of their grasp. Feeling the fresh air of the great outdoors, Ingrid was able to focus her energy. And with Pandora on the loose, he gave her more power to channel.
Meanwhile Ryu and Jin threw down, both fighters kept their powers under control due to Pandora uncontrollable power. The more violence the box sense, the more chaos it created. And neither of the fighters intended to let it get the best of them. Both of them had inner dark power, but this time it was solo.
Each of them felt emotional determination in their blows not killing intent. Each punch and kick was like rocks pounding on the ground. Leave's floated down like raindrops from the skies. As Xiaoyu tried to help Jin, Ken held her back shaking his head. He knew Jin and Ryu had something in common. Similar as they were, he left Jin's in the hands of Ryu.
Taking a big step back, Jin powered his fist for projectile attack. Ryu had done the same. Jin prepared an energy multi-violent energy orb, while Ryu set up his Hadouken. As they clocked back their arms, the surge of power was all over their hands.
"Get ready Jin, and don't hold back for my sake." Ryu called out.
"I wouldn't even dream of it." Jin shot back.
When they shot their arms forward, their projectile attacks clashed with each other. Because of their even power, there was no way to cancel each other out. The impact created a large harmless explosion. Nothing flew at the fighters but twigs, leaves, dust and winds. Consumed by the winds, Jin and Ryu launched their final blow. Ryu threw his final punch, Jin launched his final kick. Together they levitated in the arm with a clash.
Before either of them could make their next move, Ryu sensed a very familiar presence. It tore through his head like splitting headache. Jin had seized any incoming attack checking on Ryu's condition. It didn't stop Ken from rushing to his aid as well. The aura surrounded his whole body. Both Pandora and Dark Hadou were reaching inside of him like virus.
"Ryu are you okay, what's going on?" Ken asked with a lot of concern for his best friend.
"Is he okay?" Xiaoyu also asked.
"I don't know." Ken answered.
Ryu gripped the hairs on his head, "Ingrid; Ingrid is crying. I can feel it."
However Ryu was not the only one receiving this communication, Juri felt the pain inside of her head as well. It made it difficult for her to rest in bed. It caused her to toss and turn through every pain inside of her head. She grunted so much it almost made her want to pound her head onto the solid walls.
She thought she was going crazy from these cries inside of her head. Nobody else could hear them but her and Ryu.
"Who are you, show yourself!" Juri exclaimed looking through the mirror.
"Mommy," The voice called out soft and weak. Juri instantly recognized the voice of her beloved daughter. Juri's mode suddenly changed as she heard her daughter's voice after being apart for so long.
"Ingrid, is that you? What's going on baby, tell me what happened?" Juri demanded putting both fingers to her ear.
"Mommy; it was dark and scary. I heard them say they were going to make use of me." Ingrid told Juri.
Juri's eyes widen with shock, "They what?"
"It was faint, but I overheard them saying that they were going to use my abilities for their own benefit. I was scared and I thought I was going to die. It wasn't until a woman named Rose saved me from their clutches."
"Are you alright?"
"I'm fine Mommy. I really miss you and daddy. Please wherever you are, come back. I want to go home."
"Don't worry baby, one way or another we will be together again, just stay strong until then, okay. And tell Rose I owe her one."
Ingrid sniffed her tears, "Okay."
As the telecommunication ended, Juri gritted her teeth in rage. Feeling the need to hit something, she punched the mirror and watched in shattered into pieces. Through fallen glass, she stared at the ferocious look on her face. Just the fact she heard her daughter crying and moaning in pain was enough to get her on edge. Now that Ingrid was not in Shadaloo custody anymore, there was no need to hold back. She felt the overwhelming Ki power surging through her entire body.
As the Shadaloo boss was one step closer to his goal to Pandora, Bison grinned in anticipation. It was only a matter of time before Pandora was his, assuming no one else got to it first. He could almost taste the overwhelming immense power in the palm of his hands. He also could feel his psycho power reacting to Pandora.
When a loud scream was heard, Bison train of thought was disrupted. Bison face was still on the screen of Pandora. He also ignored the crying screams of the Shadaloo's soldiers flying all over the place. Juri leaped with extreme speed cutting down every Shadaloo soldier in her path. She delivered so much harsh hits broking bones and organs. Bison felt Juri overwhelming energy clouding her entire body
"You seem to be troubled Juri." Bison said first.
"Bison, I'm going to rip your goddamn head off for this!" Juri punched the wall powered by her Ki power. Before Bison could call for backup, Juri smashed his controls. "No Bison, only one of was will be dead before making it to Pandora. And it will not be me. Even if it causes me my life, I'll drag you to hell with me!"
"Is that so?" Bison shouted as his body covered up with psycho energy. And with Pandora amplifying their power, it was only going to get ugly from here.
