Chapter 15

Third fight...

Future Bison walks slowly toward the three fighters, knowing that they will not be able to win against him.

"How...?" - Lynn.

Future Bison stopped. "How ? Miss Lynn, you really underestimate me. By the time that Ryu Dragon was about to slash me, I managed to get out from Tyrant's body. That's how." - Future Bison smiled maniacally. "Now, I shall capture all of you, and you, Ryu Dragon, you and I will have a chat about that golden warrior."

Suddenly the titanium barrier was exploded and Present Bison was thrown in, bringing the Future Bison together back into the hole on the wall that was created before. A few seconds later Ryu came in through the hole on the barrier.

"Ryu !!!" exclaimed the trio in unison.

"You guys okay ?" What happened to the other Bison and that monster ?" - Ryu.

"We're fine now, thanks to you. The monster is dead, and the other Bison is in that hole together with your Bison." - RD grinned.

Ryu smiled and walked toward them. As Ryu was approaching the three fighters, they all sensed evil aura from the hole where the two Bison are. Ryu turned around and they saw one Bison only comes out from the hole.

"Hello Ryu, it seems that my present self still can be defeated by you and Ken." - Bison.

"You're the future Bison ?" - Ryu sets on his fighting stance.

"Correction, I am both Bisons." - Bison.

"I don't understand." - Ryu.

"Aw crap, he did it again." - Rogue.

"What is it ?" - Ryu.

"Long story short, the future Bison has the ability to combine his body and power with another person, or in our case before, is with the monster." Said Lynn.

"Correct. Now, I shall destroy you all in one shot and then... we'll conquer the world." - Bison. "And to honor marvelous fighters such as you all, I will use the strongest Psycho Crusher to crush you all." - Bison chuckled. He then began to gather his psycho power. As he gathered his power, purple lightning started to appear around the room, all went into his body.

"Ryu, come quick." - RD.

"What is it, RD ?" - Ryu. He knelt down.

"Take this." - RD. He gave a gem to Ryu.

"What is this ?" - Ryu.

"It's the soul gem, Ryu. Take it and use it to increase your power, you're the only hope at the moment. My power and Rogue had been drained out, we won't be able to fight anymore at the moment." - RD.

"But, I don't know how to use it." - Ryu.

RD slipped the gem into Ryu's wrist protector. "Focus, Ryu, the soul gem will interact with your soul and increase your power beyond limit, but its all depends on you and your heart as a warrior. Now do it, we've got no time." - RD.

Ryu stood and faced Bison. He didn't really understand what RD said, but at this moment, there was no other option. His power was not much left either, only enough for one Shinkuu Hadoken, but he would try alright. He set to his Shinkuu Hadoken stance and began to summon his power, as well hoping that the miracle would happen like RD said. He summoned more and more power, thinking that the destiny of the world rested on this final attack, his power begins to grow more and more.

"Ready ?" - Bison. Seeing Ryu didn't answer he smiled maniacally and prepared to launch his technique. "Mega Psycho Crusher !!!!" shouted Bison. As he charged toward Ryu and the others, there was a twenty inches of psycho aura around his body.

"Shinkuu Hadoken !!!" - Ryu. To his surprise, the power that he already gathered became three times stronger and what came out from his both palms was not the usual chi blast, but a dragon - snake type, as big as himself and charged toward Bison.

As the dragon and Bison clash, there was a big explosion in the room, all fighters were slammed to the wall. The explosion destroyed most of things in the room, machines, tables, chairs, even half of the titanium barrier.

After the explosion, there was a huge hole on the wall opposite the four fighters. The four fighters got up and looked at the hole.

"Finish ?" - Lynn. Her armor almost torn off completely, she had several minor wounds; scratches, bruises, cuts, but not too bad.

"Hope so." - Rogue. She also had several minor injuries, her gi was torn in some places.

"I guess that's it." - RD. His injuries were a bit more serious from protecting Rogue while the explosion happened. His gi's sleeves and back were torn badly.

"I don't sense anything, I guess we win." - Ryu smiled. His injuries were the least, but his gi was almost torn to pieces, his headband was torn to half.

"Yaayyyy !!!!" shouted Lynn and Rogue together. They jumped up and down in excitement while Ryu and RD just smiled, looked at the two girls, and shook their head.

"RD, your gem." - Ryu. He took the gem out from his wrist protector and handed it back to RD.

"Thanks. Ryu, you're really a great warrior, I've never seen anyone can use the power in the gem so quick like you." - RD. He put the gem back into his glove.

"Heh, just did what you said to me. Hey, there is one thing still puzzles me though." - Ryu.

"About that dragon that came out from your hands ?" - RD.

"Yes. What is that ?" - Ryu.

"That's your true power and spirit. Your power combined with your spirit was formed into that dragon." - RD explained.

"Woow." was all that Ryu can say.

"Well, now that all is over, we can go back home. And you, Lynn, the future will be better now, right ?" - RD.

"Yup, thanks to you all. I really owe you a lot." - Lynn.

"Don't worry, its our duty as a fighter to fight evil like Bison." - Ryu.

Then, they went to the next side, picked Ken up, and headed to the exit. Suddenly, there was a beeping sound coming from Lynn's pocket.

"What's that ?" - Ryu.

"Oh, it's my communicator from future. There is a message coming. Hold on." - Lynn. She took out the communicator, turned it on, and spoke with someone who seemed to be her superior. After speaking for a while, she turned the communicator off and faced the other fighters. "I can't come with you guys, you have to go without me."

"What ? Why ?" - Ryu.

"There is another thing to do, I have to destroy the entire lab, and to do it, I have to remain here and set the self-destruction system manually." - Lynn.

"Well, we can do that now, and I'm sure there is enough time to run." - RD.

"No, the problem is, that we don't have that much time. The self-destruction sequence only took about 5 minutes to go and all quick exit were already destroyed." She gestured at the massive hole on the wall where Bison was slammed into. "If I set it now, there won't be enough time for all of us to go, that's why you all have to go now." - Lynn.

"That's crazy, but how 'bout yourself ? We can't leave you here and die." - Rogue.

"Don't worry, I'm from the future. I have with me, a transporter. After setting the self-destruction sequence, I'll use it to leave this lab." - Lynn. She took out a small device and showed it to the other fighters.

"Well, I guess we can't argue with you." - Ryu.

"No, you can't." - Lynn smiled, but she began to cry.

They hugged each other and said good bye to Lynn. Then Lynn gave them a two-way radio to communicate, so she'll know when to set the self-destruction system. Then they parted. The four fighters; Ryu, Ken, RD and Rogue ran to the rooftop of the police station and waited for the helicopter to picks them up. When the helicopter came a few minutes later, Ken was awake, they signaled Lynn to turn the self-destruction on. Waiting for the helicopter to land, they explained to Ken what had happened and told him not to say anything about Lynn presence.

As the helicopter landed, there was a woman comes out from the helicopter, she was wearing a blue and gold training uniform. She greeted the foursome as they approach the helicopter. "Are you all the last survivors ?"

"Yes, there is no one left in the building except for zombies and a self-destruction system now, which is going to blow in about 2 minutes." - RD.

"Why didn't you say so ?" - the woman grumbled. "Hurry up and get on."

They quickly climbed aboard the helicopter and fly away, after they were about two hundreds meters away, the building blew up, creating a big explosion and a mushroom-like fire and smokes.

"What was happening in there ?" - the woman.

"It's a long long story. By the way, what's your name, officer..." - Ken.

"Chun Li, my name is Chun Li Xiang. I'm from the interpol." - Chun Li.

Hearing the name, at the very same time, Ken, RD, and Rogue looked at Ryu. A big naughty grin was pasted on each face except Ryu's. Ryu's face became as red as steamed crab. He tried to look outside the helicopter to avoid seeing Chun Li's face and stayed quiet while the other fighters were telling Chun Li on what happened in the building, but he stole a few glances at Chun Li while on the way back to interpol.
