In a castle, a man sat in a modern office like room, listening to one of Beethoven's piece. He was staring at the rain outside of his window when his door was knocked.
"Come in." he said in a low, growling voice. As he said that, he turned off the music and turned to see a tall, lanky man in a white laboratory coat, bringing some papers in his hands. "Dr. Sven, any reports on our new project?" he asked.
"Yes. It seems to me sir, this special genetic code is hereditary. One of the test subjects, Orochi, who had the biggest amount of energy, somehow disappeared somewhere, leaving no traces. It is still under investigation. However..." the doctor's voice trailed off.
"However...?"
"... The new subject, Ryuji Yamazaki, has a bigger hidden potential. Danger may arise if we allow him to go free at his will. I suggest we keep him in a coma state for the time being, given the..."
"Let him be and monitor him as closely as you can. I want the genetic code to be analyzed thoroughly. When the time comes, my revenge to Terry Bogard will be complete." He smiled to himself. "How is my 'rival' doing at the moment?"
"Report has it, Ryuji had just fought with Terry Bogard and was defeated a few days ago. But, it also said that Terry Bogard seemed to be in a bad condition at the moment." The professor replied.
"In other words, they fought evenly. Interesting... how much stronger can one become?" he contemplated, rubbing his chin thoughtfully.
"... Ms. Caradine went missing as well, sir. And we can't access into some files..."
" Is that so?" he frowned. "Search for her immediately. I want her found. You have 36 hours."
"36 hours?!" the professor's eyes went wide in shock.
"Is there a problem? Professor Sven?" the man in the shadows asked him.
"No, sir. I'll have the search party look for her immediately." He was about to turn to leave when the man stopped him.
"Professor Sven, send our newly acquired team to say 'hello' to Mr. Bogard."
"Understood, Mr. Krauser." The professor said and left. The professor walked down a small, dark corridor which led him to a huge lab. Inside, a lot of tube-tanks filled the spaces as far as human eyes can see. He went and stood next to a tank which read "Laocorn-0" and looked at the floating figure in the liquid-filled tube. "All this just for revenge?" he sighed and hung his head. "Why did I get myself into this?"
Suddenly, the door to the lab opened and in came Billy Kane. "Yea- llo, doc. I heard we had a new order." Following him suit was a tall man, Ryuji Yamazaki. Billy sat on one of the panels where a lot of switches which god knows what it do.
"Don't sit there, please." Prof. Sven ushered him off the panel. "I want you 2 to search for a girl who goes by the name Lily Caradine."
"Puf..." Billy smirked and faced the professor. "What do I look like? Some kind of a search and rescue crew? Puh-lease, professor. I'm paid for more than just to do that."
"This is no joke, Mr.Kane. Ms. Caradine escaped as soon as you people showed up in my lab. This order comes from Mr. Krauser himself, not me." The professor snapped at the young British man. That surely quiet him down. "Get moving. And remember, I want her alive. Use the heat and energy radar to search for her. Every data about her has been recorded there." The professor turned and left the 2.
"Well, looks like we'll just have to wait for 'her'." Ryuji said to Billy.
"Aye. But, heck, why do we need to find this lass all of a sudden?" He took off his bandana and smoothened his hair. "I really don't understand what Krauser's up to." He said in a heavy British accent. "Where is 'she' by the way?" he asked, putting his bandana on and turning to face his tall companion.
"I called her up already. She should be on her way."
Meanwhile, in the hospital where Terry ran away from, Andy was giving one of his famous "Speeches on health" to his brother.
"Okay, okay. Andy. I get it. You don't have to tell me anything more, okay?" Terry said and went to the receptionist. The nurse recognized him instantly and flashed him a brilliant smile.
"Mr. Bogard. Hi. Caught again?" she asked as she saw Mai and Andy approaching from behind.
Terry rolled his eyes and sighed. "Guess so." He replied. "Is the doc in?" he asked.
"He's expecting you. And he was very worried about you." She replied. Terry was about to ask her to stop talking about health when his 6th sense kicked in. He felt someone spying on him and suddenly walked off towards the crowd. "Mr. Bogard! That's not the where the doctor's..."
"Terry!!! You're not running away!" Andy was furious and attempted on catching his brother before he disappears. Tough luck. Terry disappeared in the crowd and was then nowhere to be seen. Andy cursed silently and out his hands on his hips. 'Damn! Where'd he run off to?' suddenly, he too, felt someone watching him.
"Andy!" Mai called. He looked to her direction and saw her waving at him. "Do you see Terry anywhere?" she called out to him. Andy sighed and walked to her. Wherever Terry ran off to, it was because he was in danger.
'I have to help.' Andy thought. 'Not to forget tell Mai about this. I'll need all the help I can get.' He thanked the nurse and pulled Mai. "Mai, We're being followed." He whispered in her ear. Mai instantly acted coolly. One of the ninja's technique is to make believe a serious matter as if she just heard Andy saying he wants to go buy some ice cream.
As they 2 went to find Terry, Terry's hunters were hot on his trails. They saw him enter an operating theatre and followed. Either they were careless or just plain stupid, they went in, not realizing Terry was waiting for them. Terry gave them each a good kick to the stomach.
"Y... You!" one of them exclaimed.
"Only 2 of you?" Terry smirked, lowering his cap.
The 2 pulled out some weapons. "You're injured and we're armed. Surrender now and follow us or you'll have to go through a tough time, Terry Bogard." Said one of them. (Man #1)
"Try me." Terry said and got into a fighting stance. The 2 charged at him. He smirked and was about to dodge and counter with an uppercut when he felt a sudden pain on his sides, presumably his ribs, because of his sudden movements. "ARGH!!!" Terry doubled over in pain.
It must have been luck or maybe it was one of his tactics but the 2 bozos missed their attack and fell when Terry suddenly yanked their legs. Using all the strength he had in him, Terry gave both of the men a good kick, making them unconscious and ran out of the room, holding on to the walls of the hospital. 'Damn... this is NOT good...' he thought.
On the roof of the hospital, Andy and Mai looked around. "God... where IS he?"
"Obviously he's not here. Why not split up?" Mai suggested, hand on her knees and panting for the run up to the 9th floor of the building was very tiring even for the fittest ninja like herself. (They thought the elevator was too slow and took the staircase)
Andy quirked his lips for a little while, "Okay. Page me when you find him." With a nod, Mai dashed to the staircase. "And Mai!" Andy called. Mai turned. "Be careful."
She smiled. "You too." She blew him a kiss and went off. Andy smiled at her disappearing figure but soon turned grim again. "She's not here anymore. Come out wherever you are." As he turned, he was met with the hiding person.
Meanwhile, as Terry walked down a quiet corridor, he was met up with a figure but it was standing in the shadows and from the silhouette, he can guess it was a woman. But who? He broke a cold sweat. 'Why do I feel so uneasy?' he thought to himself.
Why does it feel like night today?
Something in here's not right today
Why am I so uptight today?
Paranoia's all I got left
Cautiously, Terry walked towards the figure staring out of the window. "Hello, Terry." Terry was rather surprised and the voice somehow sounded familiar. "Glad to see you again."
"Who are you?" he asked, straightening up, the pain was subsiding very quickly and his adrenaline were working actively as he felt a fight was about to take place.
I don't know what stressed me first
Or how the pressure was fed / but
I know just what it feels like
To have a voice in the back of my head
The figure turned. Terry's eyes widen in shock as he recognized the person. "May?" he asked, bewildered. "What are you doing here?" he tensed.
It's like a face that I hold inside
A face that awakes when I close my eyes
A face watches every time I lie
A face that laughs every time I fall
(And watches everything)
May nodded. "I need your cooperation, Terry Bogard." Terry flinched. The way she called his name was so cold that it brought shivers down his spine.
"I take it the 2 men were one of your?" Terry asked, motioning behind him where the room was. She nodded in response.
"Terry, I need you to come with me. I don't know what they'll do to you there but it's an order for me and it's my duty to fulfill it. And it is simply: capture you by hook or by crook. And that is exactly what I'll do." She said, readying herself in a fighting stance.
So you know that when it's time to sink or swim
That the face inside is watching you too / right inside your skin
Terry thought for a moment. 'I don't wanna fight 'cause for one thing, I'm injured. Even if I CAN pull through... nope. I'd better not under-estimate her...' Out loud, he asked, "Who are you working for?"
She smirked. "Is that your answer?" before Terry could do anything, she lunged at him and delivered a swift turning kick.
It's like I'm / paranoid lookin' over my back
It's like a / whirlwind inside of my head
It's like I / can't stop what I'm hearing within
It's like the face inside is right beneath my skin
Terry simply evaded all the attacks she bombarded him. The attacks were all too clear for him to see and dodge. He was beginning to think of a plan to escape without having to fight when another person came crashing in through the window, (they were in the 5th floor) almost knocking him off his feet. He staggered for a minute and looked down. "Andy!!" he exclaimed in shock as his brother laid on the floor, motionless, battered and bleeding.
It's like I'm / paranoid lookin' over my back
It's like a / whirlwind inside of my head
It's like I / can't stop what I'm hearing within
It's like the face inside is right beneath my skin
He shifted his haze to the window and in came Ryuji Yamazaki. "Yo." He said, giving a simple army salute. Terry, not tearing his eyes off Ryuji or May, felt his brother's pulse. It was still there. He suddenly felt surge of energy running through his body and all the physical pain he felt now vanished.
The sun goes down...
I feel the light betray me...
He laid Andy on the floor carefully and readied in a fighting stance. If didn't feel like fighting, he does now. The only additional thing to it now is he was more than ready to kill someone.
Ryuji smirked and said to May, "He looks like he's gonna kill me."
"That is nothing to smile about, stupid." She responded, readying herself in a fighting stance. "Where's Billy?"
Ryuji scratched his head. "Well... uh..." before he had time to answer her question, he was smashed THROUGH the wall. "UGH...!!!!" he managed to grab hold onto the floor.
"Ryuji!!" May was surprised she can't see Terry's movement a few minutes ago. She turned to see Terry but he was nowhere in sight, only Andy was on the floor. She heard Ryuji crying out in pain and turned. Her eyes widen in shock. Terry hauled him up, lifted him by the neck, making him dangle 5 stories up and...
"POWER GEISER!!!!" attacked Ryuji's face with it. As a result, Ryuji was thrown off the hospital to an opposite building.
"AAARRRGGHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Ryuji held his broken nose and his eyes were watering because his sinus was torn off and he can feel fresh blood pouring out of his nose profusely. He heard a thump and looked up to see a pissed off Terry with murder in his eyes.
The sun goes down...
I feel the light betray me...
"Give me one good reason why I shouldn't rip your throat off." Terry snarled.
"... That." Ryuji replied, looking at Terry's back. Terry turned his head slightly and saw May holding Andy at the edge of the opened wall hospital. He can hear people screaming and shouting from down below. Behind him, Ryuji stood up slowly. "If you kill me, my good friend over there will not hesitate to throw your precious brother down." He smirked.
Terry looked down, his cap covering his eyes. At first, Ryuji felt a sense of victory but suddenly all that feeling was replaced by nothingness. The last thing he remembered was an intense pain in his gut before he lost consciousness. Terry caught him and held him by his shirt. Slowly, he turned and walked to the edge of the building.
May was shocked to see him do that as well. She saw him looking up at her, "Release him." He ordered.
"Why should I?" she asked.
Terry simply held Ryuji up. "Or your friend takes a trip to the other world."
May smirked. "Go ahead. At least, he won't go alone. I'll send your brother to accompany him." She said, adjusting her hand so that she's in a position to snap Andy's head. She noticed Terry looking troubled.
"What do you want?" he asked. She sighed in relief for a little while.
'Now, we're going somewhere.' She thought. "I told you already. I want you to come with me. And release my friend in such a way he's safe." It was her turn to order him. He did as he was told and laid Ryuji in the far side of the building he was standing.
"Now, you let him go." He said.
She thought about it for a minute. "Because?"
Suddenly, a voice from behind her answered. "Because I'll beat you up so hard you won't remember living if you don't." May turned and was just in time to dodge a fan making a bee-line towards her. As she stumbled to safety, a kick contacted her face and she was smashed to the wall. Mai went to check on Andy.
"Andy!" she held him and he stirred a bit. He saw a blurry figure at first but later smiled a little.
"My hero." He said. Mai giggled but abruptly stopped when she saw May jump out of the wall to the street below. She wasn't able to do anything except see her jump in shock.
'Damn it!!!!!!! How can this be happening to us?!' May thought angrily. She was about to catch a flag pole when her hand slipped and she fell. 'Oh no...!!!!!!!' she screamed mentally.
Suddenly she felt a strong arm circled around her waist and a sudden jolt knocked the winds out of her lungs as her savior held onto a window sill. She looked up and just as she suspected, it was none other than the ever courageous Terry Bogard.
She noticed him gritting his teeth with his eyes tightly shut and he was sweating a lot. "H... Hang on..." he whispered, breathing with difficulty.
May looked at him. He was gathering all his strength to pull both of them up and suddenly she heard a faint bone cracking and shortly after that, Terry gasped painfully but didn't cry out.
The sun
It's like I'm / paranoid lookin' over my back
It's like a / whirlwind inside of my head
"Terry..." she started and then closed her eyes. "I'm so sorry..." Terry looked down at her, surprised.
Suddenly, she leapt out of his grasp and jumped into an opened window. Terry was struggling to keep his grip but his consciousness itself was depleting rapidly. He looked up and his hand was slipping. He looked down and gulped.
"That's... a long... way down..." his vision was blurring. He suddenly recalled the way she called him by his name.
It's like I / can't stop what I'm hearing within
I feel the light betray me
He smiled. "Just like..." Before he realized what was happening, he felt himself falling and then... nothingness...
It's like I / can't stop what I'm hearing within
It's like I / can't stop what I'm hearing within

Suddenly she felt a strong arm circled around her waist and a sudden jolt knocked the winds out of her lungs as her savior held onto a window sill. She looked up and just as she suspected, it was none other than the ever courageous Terry Bogard.
She noticed him gritting his teeth with his eyes tightly shut and he was sweating a lot. "H... Hang on..." he whispered, breathing with difficulty.
May looked at him. He was gathering all his strength to pull both of them up and suddenly she heard a faint bone cracking and shortly after that, Terry gasped painfully but didn't cry out.
The sun
It's like I'm / paranoid lookin' over my back
It's like a / whirlwind inside of my head
"Terry..." she started and then closed her eyes. "I'm so sorry..." Terry looked down at her, surprised.
Suddenly, she leapt out of his grasp and jumped into an opened window. Terry was struggling to keep his grip but his consciousness itself was depleting rapidly. He looked up and his hand was slipping. He looked down and gulped.
"That's... a long... way down..." his vision was blurring. He suddenly recalled the way she called him by his name.
It's like I / can't stop what I'm hearing within
I feel the light betray me
He smiled. "Just like..." Before he realized what was happening, he felt himself falling and then... nothingness...
It's like I / can't stop what I'm hearing within
It's like I / can't stop what I'm hearing within
