Saikyokugenryu CH.3:Old enemies are never counted out!
The trio of heroes drove across the northern part of Osha in one of it's port towns until they came across the destination they were headed.
"There it is fellas."said Ryo. "The warehouse Big told us to meet him at." "Typical deserted one at that."said Dan. "Just like in the action movies." "Well this ain't no flick we're in Hibiki."said Ryo. "So here's what I want you and my sis to do. I'm gonna drop you both off outside of this warehouse,and the both of you can sneak on into the place while I go and meet who's waiting for me."
"Which means if things go sour,then we can spring into action as a back-up plan."said Yuri. "Nice plan bro." "Yeah pretty good."said Dan. "But uh.what if they're expecting that sort of thing?" "No time to worry about that now."said Ryo. "We gotta act quickly."
Both Dan and Yuri got out of the car,leaving Ryo to drive off towards his destination. Yuri then turned to Dan. "Whatever you do pal,whatever you think,do not try an'get fresh with me got it?"
"Hey,hey.ease up areobics girl!"said Dan. "I'm here for some action as much as you are." "Well I just wanted to make some things clear. I'd also like to ask you why of all colors.but I'll get to that some other time. Now c'mon!"
But just as Yuri took off Dan began asking her:"Hey,what were you going to ask on colors,what what?"
While up ahead at the warehouse. Ryo drove up to the front doors and parked the car. When he got out,two armed men,the same ones Dan saw emerged from them.
"You're here,good."said the thug on the left. "Come with us,Mr.Big's expecting you."said the thug on the left.
Ryo placed the duffle bag over his left shoulder and followed the men inside. While outside,both Dan and Yuri made their way towards the building.
"Look!"said Yuri pointing to the right side of the warehouse. "There's a side door ever there,maybe we can make our way into it and maybe surprise them."
"I hope so."said Dan. "But I got a shaky feeling about this." The three men walked through the dust-ridden corridors of the building and finally another door was opened which led to a deserted and vast room which was where the factory assemblies were.
Sitting in a leather swivel chair with a light shown down on him was none other than MR.BIG himself.
"Big."said Ryo with a slight tone of anger. "Ryo,ryo,ryo."said Big smiling. ".it's been forever." "You shouldn't have done this,Big."said Ryo. "Or did our last three encounters tell you that much last time?"
"I admit that maybe you and your Art of Fighting team pals maybe have been too much before me and my gang."said Big. "But this time,I got all the aces on you."
Ryo then unzipped the duffle bag and showed Big what he had. It was filled with lots of japanese yin and american dollars.
"Well that's quite nice."said Big. "But why show me?" "Isn't it obvious?"said Ryo. "A small-time sleaze like you is obviously hard-up for cash these days I'm sure,so you decided to kidnap my dad for a little old-fashioned extortion scheme right?"
"Well uh.afraid to burst your bubble there Sakazaki,"said Big. "but that's not really what you and your dad are here for right now."
"What?"said Ryo. "Then why?" "WHY YOU ASK SAKAZAKI?"spoke a booming speaker voice out of nowhere. "What th---¿"said Ryo. "Who said that?" "ANOTHER OBVIOUS QUESTION I'M SURE."said the voice.
Emerging from the shadows was someone in a wheelchair. He had shoulder length black hair,pale white skin, and was dressed in some dark blue spanish dress suit. He was in a moterized wheelchair and had on both an oxygen mask and a built-in speaker system to his chest.
Ryo didn't exactly recognize the man at first but then the cripple then said something else. "I KNOW IT'S BEEN A WHILE SINCE OUR LAST MEETING AT GLASSDOWN HILL MR.SAKAZAKI."he said. "BUT I'M SURE IF THAT YOU THINK LONG AND HARD ENOUGH,YOU'LL REMEMBER ME."
Ryo gasped and said:"WYLER! After all these years,you're back again?" "YES I AM AT THAT SAKAZAKI."said Wyler. "BUT AS YOU CAN SEE,I'M NOT QUITE THE MAN I WAS..NOT TILL AFTER WHAT YOU AND YOUR FRIENDS ROBERT AND YURI DID TO ME BACK THERE!"
"That's not true Wyler."said Ryo. "You did all that to yourself back there,after drinking that accursed elixer you and your own father synthesized."
"I DRANK IT TRUE,BUT AFTER YOU DEFEATED ME,I NEARLY COLLAPSED INTO A FATAL COMA. MY MEDICAL SCIENCE AND FUNDS HAVE KEPT ME ALIVE SO FAR."
"So.this isn't extertion?"said Ryo as he zipped up the bag. "Don't concern your own business funds Sakazaki,"said Big. "the man's getting to that." "IN THIS SENSE,"said Wyler. "THIS IS NOT THE KIND OF EXTERTION YOU PERCIEVE. THIS IS SOMETHING I REQUIRE THAT ONLY YOU AND YOUR ALLIES CAN SUPPLY,AS I WILL EXPLAIN."
While back outside,both Dan and Yuri were about to enter the side door,when suddenly,the doors alrady burst open and they were both knocked to the floor.
"I knew somebody'd try an'get in!"said a rather nasty voice. Looking up the pair saw an overweight looking man with long brown hair,a blue and black biker outfit with vest,headband,boots,grip gloves and leather pants. His rotund belly stuck like a sore thumb and he had a rather demented look in his eyes,as well as brandishing a crowbar.
"Jack Turner!"said Yuri. "I shoulda known!" "You know this lard-butt?"said Dan. "Ryo,me and the others fought him back in the KOF'78 back in Southtown."said Yuri. "He used to be the leader of a gang of biker hoods called the Neo Black Cats!"
"Nice to see ya remember me toots!"said Jack licking his chops. "Nice to see ya wearin'that spandex get-up I like,even though I think ya probably look better wearin'nothin'at all-HEH-HEH!"
"Man,and she thinks I'm a pig?"thought Dan in disgust. Yuri sprang back to her feet. "Disgusting as ever I see!"she said. "Look Turner,you either let us through or you get a major ass-whupping Kyokugen style!"
"Oooohhhh.I like a good spank from babies like you."said Jack as he walked towards her. "But when I through with ya,we can spend some quality time in a nice soft bed-HAHA!"
"That does it,cream him girl!"said Dan. "Even I can't stand the sight of him!" "No sooner said than done!"said Yuri as she threw the first punch. But just as she did,her left fist collided with the crowbar Jack was carrying.
"OUCH!"she cried as she drew her hand back in pain. "Luckily Mr.Big in there taught me a few things about using a hand-to-hand weapon." He said. "Ready for a second helping sweet-cheeks?"
"BRING IT ON!"she said. "Man,this guy makes Birdie look civilized!"said Dan. "Somebody call me name?"said a thick british accent. "No it can't be---¡"said Dan turning around. There he saw the lurching street fighter tower over him. It was that british biker punk with an attitude and a thick head to boot---it was BIRDIE!
"Well if it ain't the pink panther of karate,Dan Hibiki."said Birdie grinning. "How ya been pal?" "Man,looking at that Turner guy's drool lipped face was bad enough!"said Dan as he got into fighting stance. "Now I get twice the uglies around here!"
"At least I got better taste in colors mate!"said Birdie. "You still wearin'them pink jammies? Hey,I hear that there's a gay bar for poofs like you round here,hahaha!"
Dan growled fiercely at the remake. THAT DOES IT HAWK HEAD!"he shouted. "YOUR'E DEAD MEAT BIG TIME-YAHH-YAHHA!" Dan sprang into action doing his leaping scissor-kick that he always does when he starts a fight. Birdie just simply ducked down low as he did it causing Dan to crash into a fence.
Yuri meanwhile,poured it on with her opponent as Turner swung his crowbar at Yuri. Yuri ducked,but as she did,Jack thrust out his right boot and jammed her in the abdomen. Yuri staggered back,as her air was knocked out of her.
Jack then was about to attack her again,but before he could,Yuri racted back with a KOH-KEN attack.
Yuri slammed the one-handed fireball attack right into the fat slob's face,blinding and injuring him at the same time.
"AAAOOOWWW!" he cried. "YA STINKIN'SKANK I'LL!" Yuri then slammed him in the gut with a roundhouse kick and sent him flying to the floor. Dan meanwhile wasn't about to let Bird-brain get the better of him. Birdie charged at Dan doing his dashing head-butt attack,but as he did,Dan simply rolled under him and got back to his feet to counterattack.
Birdie turned and was about to take out his switchblade,but before he could,Dan rushed at him and did a shadow-kyoruken attack and nailed the thug right in the chin,knocking him down to the ground.
"Hey,it sounds like we got company out there!"said Big. "Uh-oh!"thought Ryo. "Man,I told Yuri and Dan to go in quiet as possible,what are they doing,they're gonna blow my cover!"
"WELL MAKE SURE WE ARE NOT DISTURBED THEN MR.BIG!"said Wyler. Big turned to one of his men. "Vinnie,take some of the boys over to where that racket's going on and see to it that it's quiet."
"Gotcha boss!"said the thug as he went off.
"ANYWAYS MR.SAKAZAKI,"said Wyler. "AFTER YOU DEFEATED ME AND LEFT ME WITH THAT WENCH FRIEA,I HAD HER TAKE ME BACK TO MY LAIR. IN THE MONTHS AHEAD I PLOTTED BEHIND HER VERY BACK FOR A MEANS OF RECREATION-AND REVENGE! AFTER THE EXHAUST OF POWER,MY BODY HAS BEEN VEGETATING MORE AND MORE NOW I'M AFRAID. I HAVE BEEN LEFT IN THE STATE YOU NOW SEE BEFORE YOU."
"B-but what of friea?"said Ryo. "Is she all right?" "NOTHING TO BE SO CONCERNED ABOUT!"said Wyler. "SHE IS AT MY ESTATE AS OF NOW,BUT SHE CAN HARDLY COMPLAIN NOW ABOUT ANYTHING-HEH-HEH."
Ryo scowled in rage. "If you've hurt her in any--¡" "Hold your horses Ryo!"said Big. "I saw her myself,she's all right,physically anyway,so don't buck the trend okay?"
"ANYWAYS,"said Wyler. "IT TOOK ME MANY MONTHS AND YEARS TO GET THIS FAR AND ASSEMBLE THE RIGHT CONTACTS,ASSISTANCE,AND PLANNING FOR THIS. I CALLED AND HIRED MR.BIG,AFTER THE HANDSOME PAYMENT I GAVE HIM,HE WAS MORE THAN HAPPY TO OBLIDGE,ESPECIALLY SINCE HE AND I HAVE SOMETHING VERY MUCH IN COMMON."
"Yeah,guess who karate man?"said Big as he pointed to Ryo. "YOU ARE HERE TO CARRY AN OUT AN EXTRORDINARY ERRAND FOR ME SAKAZAKI."said Wyler.
While back outside,Yuri and Dan were about to finsih theit enemies off when. "All right,nobody move!"shouted the first thug as he and two more men came in with branding uzzi pistols.
"Aw maaannn!"groaned Dan. "Not this again!" "So it's himself again eh?"said the second thug. "Maybe this time we'll get a clean shot at ya!" "No wait!"said the first thug. "I got an idea,take them to the bosses. As for you two lugs,jack and Birdie,back to your posts-and if you can't do any better at keeping at intruders than this-you may as well be dead."
"Hey we're going,we're going!"said Birdie. "Ya bloke's got lucky this time,but rest assured this ain't over yet! You an'me'll go at it again Danny-boy,haha!" "Yeah,this time you're in too deep!"said Jack. "Our bosses are major bad news for ya and your friends!"
"Look just take us to where your boss is okay?"said Yuri. "If I have to look one minute more at Turner's slobbering fat face--¡"
"Yeah,we're taking ya."said the third thug. "This way please."
"YOU ARE TO TRAVEL TO CERTAIN PLACES I HAVE INSTRUCTED-AND YOU WILL COLLECT TISSUE SAMPLES OF FIGHTER KI'S AND STRENGTHS FROM CERTAIN INDIVIDUALS."said Wyler."WITH IT,I SHALL BE ABLE TO RE-CREATE A NEW BATCH OF ELIXER THAT WILL RESTORE MY HUMANITY AND MAKE ME THE MOST POWERFUL MAN IN THE WORLD!"
"NEVER!"said Ryo. "I'll never carry out your---¡" "Uh..ya may wanna rethink your words there Ryo."said Big pointing the other way. Both Yuri and Dan were escorted into the room by three armed men.
"Yuri,Dan-what?"said Ryo. "Sorry bro."said Yuri. "We were taken by surprise." "Yeah we swear!"said Dan.
"So."said Big. "Tryin'to get the drop on us eh?" "YOUR FATHER IS ALREADY A HOSTAGE AS OF NOW SAKAZAKI,WANT TO ADD ANY MORE TO THE LIST?"
"All right already!"said Ryo. "I'll do as you say,just let my sister go!" "NO,"said Wyler. "I THINK NOW WE'LL KEEP HER AS AN EXTRA INSURANCE AS OF NOW. YOUR FRIEND ROBERT GARCIA THERE SHALL BE SET FREE."
"Excuse me.?"said Dan. "Uh..he ain't Robert boss."said one of the men. "Birdie said his name was Dan and---¡" "I CARE NOT WHO HE REALLY IS!"said Wyler. "JUST THROW HIM BACK TO RYO THERE!" One of the thugs pushed Dan in the direction of Ryo. "Hey-no shovin'!"said Dan.
"I don't believe this."said Yuri. "Wyler?" "NICE TO SEE YOU AGAIN MISS SAKAZAKI."said Wyler. "I HOPE YOU ENJOY YOUR STAY WITH YOUR FATHER-BECAUSE IT'S GOING TO BE A LONG ONE. TAKE HER AWAY!"
One of the gunmen hit her in the back with his gun and then carried her away.
"YURI-NO!"shouted Ryo as he was about to run at the thugs. "No Ryo-stop!"said Dan as he restrained him. These guys have got her dead to rights-you wanna make it worse?"
Ryo was seething angrilly,he so wanted to take out Big and Wyler so badly he could taste it! "I'D LISTEN TO YOUR FRIEND THERE,SAKAZAKI!"said Wyler. "MR.BIG..!"
The crime lord got up from his seat and showed Ryo a thick brown manila envelope.
"Inside this envelope,you'll find instructions on what to do and where to go."said Big. "And we'll call you from time to time on your progress. You will also tell no one else about this meeting or what you're doing-or your family members will die. I hope that makes it clear enough?"
"Yes.quite."said Ryo. "Good then."said Big. "Now if you'll excuse us,we have to return to our place of business and wait for your report. Vinnie get Jack and Birdie,we're leaving." "Right boss."said Vinnie as he went to get them.
Before turning and leaving,Wyler spoke once again.
"REMEMBER SAKAZAKI,NO TRICKS OF ANY KIND-OR YOUR FATHER AND SISTER SHALL DIE! PLAN AN OUTING OF YOUR OWN AND HOPEFULLY WE'LL GET THIS OVER WITH SOON ENOUGH."
The evil scientist then activated his wheelchair's motor system and turned around to leave the area along with Big and the others.
"Good luck boys,you'll need it."said Big.
With Dan and Ryo alone,Dan scratched the back of his head. "Man,what was that all about?" he said."Who was the dried-up looking guy in the wheelchair?" Ryo said nothing,he lowered his head in rage and despair.
Without a word,he turned and left for his car. "Hey,wait for me man!said Dan. Ryo swung his left around at Dan and fired a KOH-KEN fireball,but Dan simply jumped over it. "HEY WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT FOR?"he shouted.
"You stay the hell away from me Hibiki!"Ryo said in anger. "This is pretty much your fault ya know!" "In what way?"said Dan. "If you had just stopped those gun goons sent by Mr.Big,we wouldn't be in this mess!" "Hey,I told you that those guys were armed to the teeth and I couldn't have known anyways!"
Ryo suddenly let off for a second. "I-I guess he's right about that."he thought. "He has nothing to do with this,but I've got to see this through- no matter what."
"Look I'm-I'm sorry okay."he said. "It's just that this is all been a harrowing experience for me and--¡"
"Yeah I can see that now more than ever."said Dan. "Dirty rotten gangsters,and I thought Bison was lowdown. Look,you're gonna need help on this anyway."
"Help?"said Ryo. "Yeah you and I are the only ones that know of this right now,and we can't tell anyone else right now. Maybe if we come up with a plan,we might beat them at their own game."
"Well.all right."said Ryo. "Haven't got much choice right now." "Tell me about it."said Dan. "C'mon,we gotta head back and form a plan."said Ryo.
"Right with ya."said Dan.
The two fighters headed back to the pontiac and drove back off to the sakazaki family home and dojo,a dangerous and exciting adventure was about to begin for them both.
CAN TWO GROWN MEN SHARE AN ADVENTURE AND FIGHTING STYLE WITH DRIVING EACH OTHER INSANE? FIND OUT IN CH.4:THE ODD COUPLE. HEY,I THOUGHT IT'D SUIT THEM FINE.
The trio of heroes drove across the northern part of Osha in one of it's port towns until they came across the destination they were headed.
"There it is fellas."said Ryo. "The warehouse Big told us to meet him at." "Typical deserted one at that."said Dan. "Just like in the action movies." "Well this ain't no flick we're in Hibiki."said Ryo. "So here's what I want you and my sis to do. I'm gonna drop you both off outside of this warehouse,and the both of you can sneak on into the place while I go and meet who's waiting for me."
"Which means if things go sour,then we can spring into action as a back-up plan."said Yuri. "Nice plan bro." "Yeah pretty good."said Dan. "But uh.what if they're expecting that sort of thing?" "No time to worry about that now."said Ryo. "We gotta act quickly."
Both Dan and Yuri got out of the car,leaving Ryo to drive off towards his destination. Yuri then turned to Dan. "Whatever you do pal,whatever you think,do not try an'get fresh with me got it?"
"Hey,hey.ease up areobics girl!"said Dan. "I'm here for some action as much as you are." "Well I just wanted to make some things clear. I'd also like to ask you why of all colors.but I'll get to that some other time. Now c'mon!"

"Look!"said Yuri pointing to the right side of the warehouse. "There's a side door ever there,maybe we can make our way into it and maybe surprise them."
"I hope so."said Dan. "But I got a shaky feeling about this." The three men walked through the dust-ridden corridors of the building and finally another door was opened which led to a deserted and vast room which was where the factory assemblies were.
Sitting in a leather swivel chair with a light shown down on him was none other than MR.BIG himself.
"Big."said Ryo with a slight tone of anger. "Ryo,ryo,ryo."said Big smiling. ".it's been forever." "You shouldn't have done this,Big."said Ryo. "Or did our last three encounters tell you that much last time?"
"I admit that maybe you and your Art of Fighting team pals maybe have been too much before me and my gang."said Big. "But this time,I got all the aces on you."
Ryo then unzipped the duffle bag and showed Big what he had. It was filled with lots of japanese yin and american dollars.
"Well that's quite nice."said Big. "But why show me?" "Isn't it obvious?"said Ryo. "A small-time sleaze like you is obviously hard-up for cash these days I'm sure,so you decided to kidnap my dad for a little old-fashioned extortion scheme right?"
"Well uh.afraid to burst your bubble there Sakazaki,"said Big. "but that's not really what you and your dad are here for right now."

Ryo didn't exactly recognize the man at first but then the cripple then said something else. "I KNOW IT'S BEEN A WHILE SINCE OUR LAST MEETING AT GLASSDOWN HILL MR.SAKAZAKI."he said. "BUT I'M SURE IF THAT YOU THINK LONG AND HARD ENOUGH,YOU'LL REMEMBER ME."
Ryo gasped and said:"WYLER! After all these years,you're back again?" "YES I AM AT THAT SAKAZAKI."said Wyler. "BUT AS YOU CAN SEE,I'M NOT QUITE THE MAN I WAS..NOT TILL AFTER WHAT YOU AND YOUR FRIENDS ROBERT AND YURI DID TO ME BACK THERE!"
"That's not true Wyler."said Ryo. "You did all that to yourself back there,after drinking that accursed elixer you and your own father synthesized."
"I DRANK IT TRUE,BUT AFTER YOU DEFEATED ME,I NEARLY COLLAPSED INTO A FATAL COMA. MY MEDICAL SCIENCE AND FUNDS HAVE KEPT ME ALIVE SO FAR."
"So.this isn't extertion?"said Ryo as he zipped up the bag. "Don't concern your own business funds Sakazaki,"said Big. "the man's getting to that." "IN THIS SENSE,"said Wyler. "THIS IS NOT THE KIND OF EXTERTION YOU PERCIEVE. THIS IS SOMETHING I REQUIRE THAT ONLY YOU AND YOUR ALLIES CAN SUPPLY,AS I WILL EXPLAIN."
While back outside,both Dan and Yuri were about to enter the side door,when suddenly,the doors alrady burst open and they were both knocked to the floor.

"Man,and she thinks I'm a pig?"thought Dan in disgust. Yuri sprang back to her feet. "Disgusting as ever I see!"she said. "Look Turner,you either let us through or you get a major ass-whupping Kyokugen style!"
"Oooohhhh.I like a good spank from babies like you."said Jack as he walked towards her. "But when I through with ya,we can spend some quality time in a nice soft bed-HAHA!"
"That does it,cream him girl!"said Dan. "Even I can't stand the sight of him!" "No sooner said than done!"said Yuri as she threw the first punch. But just as she did,her left fist collided with the crowbar Jack was carrying.
"OUCH!"she cried as she drew her hand back in pain. "Luckily Mr.Big in there taught me a few things about using a hand-to-hand weapon." He said. "Ready for a second helping sweet-cheeks?"
"BRING IT ON!"she said. "Man,this guy makes Birdie look civilized!"said Dan. "Somebody call me name?"said a thick british accent. "No it can't be---¡"said Dan turning around. There he saw the lurching street fighter tower over him. It was that british biker punk with an attitude and a thick head to boot---it was BIRDIE!
"Well if it ain't the pink panther of karate,Dan Hibiki."said Birdie grinning. "How ya been pal?" "Man,looking at that Turner guy's drool lipped face was bad enough!"said Dan as he got into fighting stance. "Now I get twice the uglies around here!"
"At least I got better taste in colors mate!"said Birdie. "You still wearin'them pink jammies? Hey,I hear that there's a gay bar for poofs like you round here,hahaha!"
Dan growled fiercely at the remake. THAT DOES IT HAWK HEAD!"he shouted. "YOUR'E DEAD MEAT BIG TIME-YAHH-YAHHA!" Dan sprang into action doing his leaping scissor-kick that he always does when he starts a fight. Birdie just simply ducked down low as he did it causing Dan to crash into a fence.

"B-but what of friea?"said Ryo. "Is she all right?" "NOTHING TO BE SO CONCERNED ABOUT!"said Wyler. "SHE IS AT MY ESTATE AS OF NOW,BUT SHE CAN HARDLY COMPLAIN NOW ABOUT ANYTHING-HEH-HEH."
Ryo scowled in rage. "If you've hurt her in any--¡" "Hold your horses Ryo!"said Big. "I saw her myself,she's all right,physically anyway,so don't buck the trend okay?"
"ANYWAYS,"said Wyler. "IT TOOK ME MANY MONTHS AND YEARS TO GET THIS FAR AND ASSEMBLE THE RIGHT CONTACTS,ASSISTANCE,AND PLANNING FOR THIS. I CALLED AND HIRED MR.BIG,AFTER THE HANDSOME PAYMENT I GAVE HIM,HE WAS MORE THAN HAPPY TO OBLIDGE,ESPECIALLY SINCE HE AND I HAVE SOMETHING VERY MUCH IN COMMON."
"Yeah,guess who karate man?"said Big as he pointed to Ryo. "YOU ARE HERE TO CARRY AN OUT AN EXTRORDINARY ERRAND FOR ME SAKAZAKI."said Wyler.
While back outside,Yuri and Dan were about to finsih theit enemies off when. "All right,nobody move!"shouted the first thug as he and two more men came in with branding uzzi pistols.
"Aw maaannn!"groaned Dan. "Not this again!" "So it's himself again eh?"said the second thug. "Maybe this time we'll get a clean shot at ya!" "No wait!"said the first thug.

"NEVER!"said Ryo. "I'll never carry out your---¡" "Uh..ya may wanna rethink your words there Ryo."said Big pointing the other way. Both Yuri and Dan were escorted into the room by three armed men.
"Yuri,Dan-what?"said Ryo. "Sorry bro."said Yuri. "We were taken by surprise." "Yeah we swear!"said Dan.
"So."said Big. "Tryin'to get the drop on us eh?" "YOUR FATHER IS ALREADY A HOSTAGE AS OF NOW SAKAZAKI,WANT TO ADD ANY MORE TO THE LIST?"
"All right already!"said Ryo. "I'll do as you say,just let my sister go!" "NO,"said Wyler. "I THINK NOW WE'LL KEEP HER AS AN EXTRA INSURANCE AS OF NOW. YOUR FRIEND ROBERT GARCIA THERE SHALL BE SET FREE."
"Excuse me.?"said Dan. "Uh..he ain't Robert boss."said one of the men. "Birdie said his name was Dan and---¡" "I CARE NOT WHO HE REALLY IS!"said Wyler. "JUST THROW HIM BACK TO RYO THERE!" One of the thugs pushed Dan in the direction of Ryo. "Hey-no shovin'!"said Dan.

Ryo was seething angrilly,he so wanted to take out Big and Wyler so badly he could taste it! "I'D LISTEN TO YOUR FRIEND THERE,SAKAZAKI!"said Wyler. "MR.BIG..!"
The crime lord got up from his seat and showed Ryo a thick brown manila envelope.
"Inside this envelope,you'll find instructions on what to do and where to go."said Big. "And we'll call you from time to time on your progress. You will also tell no one else about this meeting or what you're doing-or your family members will die. I hope that makes it clear enough?"
"Yes.quite."said Ryo. "Good then."said Big. "Now if you'll excuse us,we have to return to our place of business and wait for your report. Vinnie get Jack and Birdie,we're leaving." "Right boss."said Vinnie as he went to get them.
Before turning and leaving,Wyler spoke once again.
"REMEMBER SAKAZAKI,NO TRICKS OF ANY KIND-OR YOUR FATHER AND SISTER SHALL DIE! PLAN AN OUTING OF YOUR OWN AND HOPEFULLY WE'LL GET THIS OVER WITH SOON ENOUGH."
The evil scientist then activated his wheelchair's motor system and turned around to leave the area along with Big and the others.
"Good luck boys,you'll need it."said Big.
With Dan and Ryo alone,Dan scratched the back of his head. "Man,what was that all about?" he said."Who was the dried-up looking guy in the wheelchair?" Ryo said nothing,he lowered his head in rage and despair.
Without a word,he turned and left for his car. "Hey,wait for me man!said Dan. Ryo swung his left around at Dan and fired a KOH-KEN fireball,but Dan simply jumped over it. "HEY WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT FOR?"he shouted.
"You stay the hell away from me Hibiki!"Ryo said in anger. "This is pretty much your fault ya know!" "In what way?"said Dan. "If you had just stopped those gun goons sent by Mr.Big,we wouldn't be in this mess!" "Hey,I told you that those guys were armed to the teeth and I couldn't have known anyways!"
Ryo suddenly let off for a second. "I-I guess he's right about that."he thought. "He has nothing to do with this,but I've got to see this through- no matter what."
"Look I'm-I'm sorry okay."he said. "It's just that this is all been a harrowing experience for me and--¡"
"Yeah I can see that now more than ever."said Dan. "Dirty rotten gangsters,and I thought Bison was lowdown. Look,you're gonna need help on this anyway."
"Help?"said Ryo. "Yeah you and I are the only ones that know of this right now,and we can't tell anyone else right now. Maybe if we come up with a plan,we might beat them at their own game."
"Well.all right."said Ryo. "Haven't got much choice right now." "Tell me about it."said Dan. "C'mon,we gotta head back and form a plan."said Ryo.
"Right with ya."said Dan.
