"Lord Bison?"
Bison turned in his chair to address the solider. Bison was wearing his usual attire; black uniform and a dark maroon generals cap.
"Yes?"
"I regret to inform you that the UN might know our current location"
Bison chuckled silently to himself and smiled maliciously.
"Good."
The solider faltered.
"Uh sir, I must be mistaken. Did you just say that it was good? I'm sure the UN is planning an attack as we speak."
Bison remained seated yet grabbed the soldier's neck with his mind. The soldier began to gasp for air and soon fell to the floor kicking his legs wildly. Bison spoke to him before he closed his eyes and died.
"Stupid fool. Nevertheless this day has turned into a good day indeed. The pending battle should bring in the supplies necessary to conduct experiments."
He once again began to silently snicker to himself, but soon it rose and became an audible, wicked laugh.

As he crept through the thick forest, an eerie feeling came over Charlie.
"Guile, something's not right."
"What do you mean?"
"I can feel it, something's wrong."
"Charlie we all feel that way right now. Shit we're dealing with Shadowlaw, even the bravest man would have disturbing feelings. Just keep your eye on the mission. It's about time for us to split up."
"Sir, yes sir!"
Guile smiled and slapped Charlie on the head.
"This is serious stuff, no sirs until I'm actually promoted."
"Alright then sir, I mean Guile."
"Okay, split into your teams."
Charlie grabbed Guiles shoulder before he walked away.
"Guile, see ya inside buddy."
"Yeah man, see you inside."
They hugged. Of course it was a manly hug, but a hug nonetheless. Besides every man here understood. As they walked their opposite ways Guile yelled.
"Just stick to the plan and everything will go off without a hitch!"

Charlie and his team arrived at the target location just in time.
"Okay men, you remember what was said in the briefing, stick to it and we'll be fine. Don't try and be heroes. Every man he has his specific duty that has to be done. Move out in 5, 4, 3, 2, 1!"
Shots sounded and the two guards beside the door immediately fell, dead. Yes! Thought Charlie, we're practically home free. Just then a huge noise ripped through the air. Charlie and his men were forced to cover their ears from the noise. He looked all around him but could not see where the noise was coming from. Then he saw a man, not just any man, it was Bison himself. Bison began to laugh. Charlie would have pulled his gun and tried to shoot him, but he couldn't remove his hands from his ears. Even if the men could have heard Charlie yell retreat, he wouldn't have had time to yell it before the whole world went black.

Guile and his men had been traveling for about an hour before he pulled out the area map to check their location. According to the map, they were positioned near the center of the compound, but they were still in the deep forest.
"What the hell is going on?"
And then it hit him. A trap, it's a trap! Oh my God! Charlie!
"The other team is in danger men. We have to head back now to see if we can help them."
They ran to where the other team was supposed to launch their attack. Less than an hour later they arrived at The first target location. There were two men lying dead on the ground. Not their men, soldiers of Shadowlaw. Guile knelt down beside one of the men and pulled his helmet off.
"A robot?"
He unmasked the other.
"A robot also."
Guile stomach began to churn with fear for his friend. But he had to leave. If there was any chance he could help Charlie and the other men, he would need to head back to base with the remainder of his men and try to figure out what happened.

Cammy was awakened by the sound of knocking on the front door of her mother's house. Dad? She instantly thought as she ran to look out of her bedroom window. She smiled when she saw Guile's car parked in the roadway. She nervously pulled on her dad's dog tags as she put on her robe and headed for the front door. When Cammy rounded the corner, her mother was already at the door. Everything was moving in slow motion as Cammy made her way to the now open door. Her mother turned and looked at her with the saddest eyes. Cammy then looked to Guile, who was in the doorway. He had tears in his eyes. Tears? He spoke with cautious words.
"Cammy, I'm so sorry to have to be the one to tell you this."
Guile faltered his words and spoke again after taking a deep breath.
"Your Dad, he's gone. I don't know what happened."
Cammy's entire world began to spin and her knees buckled as she fell to the floor. Guile ran to her side and helped her sit up. She could see Guile lips moving but could only hear her own hysterical screaming.
"NO! He promised me he would come back. He wouldn't lie to me. You're the one who's lying. He's not really gone!"
"Cammy, I'm working very hard right now to try and find him, but every clue I can find leads me to believe that he and his men are dead."
Oh Dad! She thought swamped in pain. Fire burned where her heart should be and tears swelled behind her swollen eyes. She started to sob uncontrollably. Guile reached to put his arms around her. She pushed him away and ran back to her room only to fall on the floor weeping. Curled in the fetal position she gripped the tags around her neck tightly and spoke out loud so that God, the devil or whomever had caused this to happen could hear her.
"He's not gone, not gone, not dead."
She fell into a restless sleep repeating these words over and over.
