Chapter Twenty-One

Mason stares at the leader of Shadowlaw. The madman grins evilly at the FBI agent.

"So Mason Storm," Bison said. "What brings you here at this lovely time?"

"You know exactly why I am here," Mason replied with anger. "You've killed many people and destroyed innocent lives, mine included. You've killed my parents, and now you will suffer at my hands."

Bison sneers. "I would like to see you try Agent Storm, but I'm afraid that you are underestimating me. I have powers beyond your own imagination. I intend to end your own life quickly. Hold still and I'll make it painless for you."

"Never," Mason said getting into a fighting stance. Bison does the same as well.

For a minute, the two only stare at each other. Mason expected Bison to make the first move. Then, he loses his patience. "So, are you going to kill me quickly like you said? I'm still waiting."

"Fine then," Bison said.

But just before either of them move, the door barges open quickly. They both turn around to see Guile and Ken run in. When they notice Mason in the room, they stop in their tracks.

"Mason?" asked Ken. "What are you doing here?"

"Me?" asked Mason. "What about you?"

Because he was distracted, Mason didn't realize that Bison has teleported out of the room. When he turns around to face the madman, he was gone.

"Damn it!!!" Mason cried. He turns to Guile and Ken. "You morons! I almost had a chance for vengeance!"

"Vengeance?" asked Guile. "What do you mean........"

Before Guile could finish his sentence, he notices Wagner lying on the ground unconscious. Blood trickles down his head.

"WAGNER!!!!!!!!!!!!" Guile cried. He immediately runs over to his trainee and bends down to him. It was like re-living the time he found his partner Nash dead on the floor in the control room.

"Wagner!!" Guile cried again. He takes the trainee into his arms and looks down at him. "Speak to me! Please, don't die on me!"

Tears begin to form in the Air Force Captain's eyes. He looked at the bruises on Wagner's neck. He wondered if he was dead.

It was then that he hears Wagner moan a little bit. Guile gasps. "Wagner?"

Wagner begins to open his eyes revealing his blue iris. Then, he turns his head to Guile. Wagner sees the tears in his trainer's eyes. He laughs a little. "Damn, I didn't know that you were so sensitive."

Guile laughs a little, knowing that Wagner still has his cocky personality. "Just shut up and rest," Guile replied with a smile. "You'll be all right."

It was then that they hear footsteps coming into the room. They turn around and see Chun-Li and Liang come into the room.

"We found some great information we received," said Liang. "We know how Bison was resurrected and what is keeping him alive."

Everyone looks at them and waits for what the husband and wife have to say.

"We threatened one of the guard's life unless he gave us information," Chun- Li said. "He told us about the machine called the Psycho Drive. It was what resurrected him and now it's keeping him alive and giving him great power. Unfortunately, we weren't able to get more information because we were ambush by more guards and they killed the man we were getting information from. Liang and I believe that if we destroy the Psycho Drive, we can get rid of Bison and end Shadowlaw once and for all."

"We'll end it together," said Mason. "We will use all of our greatest powers and use it to destroy the drive."

"Great idea," said Guile. "Except we're missing a couple of people, plus we have to get my wife, daughter, and Ken's wife out of here."

"He's right," said Wagner. Everyone turns around as Wagner begins to slowly get up, using one of the machines to support him. "We need as much help as possible."

"Wagner," said Guile walking up to his trainee. "You can't fight, you're hurt."

"Oh yes I can," Wagner replied. "I've been waiting for this moment my whole life......kill the man who killed my family and finally receive vengeance for them."

Then, Fei-Long and Ryu come into the room. "Yes, we found you guys!" cried Fei-Long.

"Hey, you're all right," said Guile. "But we are Jasmine and Veronica?"

"Veronica's fighting some guards and Jasmine's fighting Vega," said Ryu.

"VEGA??!!!" cried Ken remembering the brutal fighting with the Spanish ninja seven years ago.

"Listen," said Guile. "Let's get the women out first. Then, we'll find the sisters and my daughter, then get Amy out, and then we'll all go look for the Psycho Drive and destroy it."

Wagner leads them to the dungeon where Jane and Eliza are still trapped. They break some of the guards' necks to pass by more easily. When they gained access, Wagner breaks the chains off of the women.

Chun-Li notices the grim look on Fei-Long's face. She walks over to him. "Don't worry, Fei-Long. This organization will end soon."

"It's not just that," Fei-Long replied. "I'm just hoping that Veronica and Jasmine will be all right."

Then, as though the devil has spoke, Veronica and Jasmine come into the room. In Veronica's arms is a blond female toddler.

Guile and Jane's faces beam with delight. "AMY!!"

"Mommy! Daddy!" Amy cried out. The three of them hug each other and have a mini-reunion.

Ken and Eliza run over to each other and give each other a long embrace in silence.

Ryu and Jasmine face each other. Ryu notices the gash on her face and he runs over to her. "Jasmine......"

Jasmine touches her face. "This is nothing. I'll be all right. I beat him though, knocked him out cold."

The two of them give each other a quick kiss and then embrace.

Fei-Long walks over to Veronica. "How did you find Amy?"

"On our way over here," Veronica replied. "We heard a little girl crying and we managed to kill the guards and save her. We realized it was Guile's daughter."

Fei-Long nods and embraces her. "What matters is that everyone's all right."

Veronica then looks into Fei-Long's eyes......and plants her lips into his! Fei-Long was shocked by this for a second, but eventually returns the kiss.

They were both just beginning to enjoy the kiss when they hear someone clear their throat. They stop kissing and turn to their friends.

"Um," said Mason. "I hate to interrupt your beautiful moment, but we have a madman to deal with."

Fei-Long and Veronica both blush with embarrassment.

"Listen," said Ken. "Someone has to lead Eliza, Jane, and Amy out of here."

"I'll do that," said Liang.

Ken and Eliza give each other a quick kiss before separating again. Guile hugs Amy, and then he kisses Jane. Jane takes Amy into her arms and walk towards Liang. Then, the four of them start making their way out of the base.

"Well," said Guile. "If we can beat him once before, we can beat him again. Let's go find that psycho drive!"

***

After an hour of searching, they finally find the Psycho Drive.

"It's about time," said Jasmine. "I'm starting to get really tired and I know it's not from all the blood I lost."

"Well," said Wagner. "Now what?"

"We destroy it," said Ryu.

"We need to use our best powers," said Mason.

Before anyone could do anything, they hear an evil laugh behind them. Everyone turns around and sees Bison standing behind them.

"Well, well, well," Bison sneered. "You managed to find the psycho drive, I applaud you. Unfortunately, you will all have to do two things....join me and live a great life, or die."

"Never!" cried Mason.

"Don't think that we will join your organization!" shouted Chun-Li. "You will pay for all of the things that you've done and we will fight you even if we die!"

"Very well then," Bison said getting into a fighting stance. "I will be glad to make you all suffer. You all have been an interference in our operation and you all must be disposed of."

"Go ahead," said Jasmine. She gets into a fighting stance. "I dare you to dispose us."

Everyone follows her and gets into their respective fighting stances. They knew that this coming battle will be a struggle, but they all know that they must not give up for the sake of their loved ones and the world.

*************************************************************

I combined two chapters into one so there's actually going to be two chapters left, both which will come on the same day. I hope to get it out by either Wednesday or Thursday. The next chapter is full of big action so be prepared!

I did talk about making two sequels to this story, but I've decided against it since this is not one of my best fics even though there's currently 67 reviews. I'm only making sequels if they receive 100 reviews or more and obviously, there is only going to be at least 70 reviews for this one. I hope that you all enjoy this story and be prepared because my next update will contain two chapters and they are the final two chapters of this story!
