5. Frightening Dreams
{Huh? What the.? Where the heck am I? This is creepy.}
The room was so dark. Darrell found himself in a tremendously dark room, although he could see fine. He was wearing blue jeans with a white tee shirt and his trademark blue handguards.
{What am. I doing here?}
"Your strength. Prove it against me. NOW!"
The voice was so. evil. Darrell took a step backwards.
"Who is that?" he asked out loud. His voice was very shaky when he asked that question, and he knew that. He tried to maintain his composure, but it was hard.
POW!
Darrell got sent to the ground with a strong punch to the face. He couldn't even see who attacked or where he came from. He wiped his face with a handguard, which started to bleed a bit.
{Damn! I-}
Darrell got cut off and sent to the ground with another punch, this time from behind. He hit the ground face first.
"You can't sense which way I'm coming," the voice said again. Its voice was so cold it sent chills through his body. "Without that, you can't defeat me!"
Darrell struggled to his feet, rubbing the back of his head. "Okay, now I'm pissed!"
He braced himself, his blue aura forming quickly around him then it changed to red-orange.
{If I'm quiet, maybe I can tell which way he's coming by hearing him.} Everything was quiet as Darrell started to form his defense stance. Nothing happened for a good minute or two.
{This doesn't make any sense. I could have sworn I was being attacked.} He let his guard down for a quick second. Unfortunately, that is all he needed to do.
"You're pathetic!"
{The voice. It's coming from.}
Darrell's eyes widened.
{BEHIND!!} He spun around and came face to face with a completely dark figure with scary, blood red eyes and hair that stood straight upwards. He was literally staring down on Darrell, paralyzing him with the fear of eyes.
"Now you die."
If it was possible, Darrell's eyes widened even more.
{I.}
The figure grabbed him then everything faded from Darrell's eyesight. All he could see is black. and all he could feel was pain. Tremendous, hot pain. The next thing he knew, Darrell was on the ground, blood and wounds covering his body. Through his hardly open eyes, he could see the figure's back, with a huge, red kanji letter on his back.
{D-d-d.damn y-you.}
Then his eyes closed.
----- -----
"Sakura."
{What? What do you want?}
"Sakura. show me."
{What do you want me to do? Where are you?}
Sakura was in an empty space. There was no ground, no surroundings. just air. She was just standing on nothing. A voice had been calling for her. One that sounded so. familiar that Sakura tried to guess who it is.
"Is this.," she asked carefully, "Ryu?"
"Yes. Sakura, it's me. I. need for you. to show. me your true power."
"But where are you? I can't see you!"
"I'm here.. Please show me."
Sakura turned her head to the left and saw a man in the distance. His white gi seemed to shine in the distance.
"I'm coming, Ryu!" Before she knew it, she started to run. Her steps echoed in the silence of the abyss. "This is it, Ryu!"
As she got closer, Ryu's gi started to fade. It was a shining white then it slowly went to a light gray.
{Ryu. what's happening to your gi? It's darkening.}
She got within a few steps of her idol, panting a bit. When she looked up, her mouth seemed to drop at the sight that she saw.
"But this is.!"
The man that seemed to be Ryu looked like Ryu, but the gi's color was a very dark bluish-gray. His skin tone was also darker, and the scariest thing about this figure was the fact that his eyes were completely red. Dark red.
"RYU!!!" Sakura screamed at the top of her lungs. This was what she really didn't want to see. It was Evil Ryu.
"Now." he started, pointing a finger at Sakura, "your true power. shall be released."
Sakura's body seemed to feel like it was being stretched outward.
{What is. this? I feel. so strange.}
Before her, an image appeared out of her body. It turned its attention to the girl and Sakura was even more stupefied at this being. It was her. but the skin color was much darker and the clothes were mostly black.
"Welcome," Evil Ryu's words came into a delusional Sakura's ears. "Welcome. Dark Sakura."
"Dark. Sakura?" Sakura managed to mouth out.
{This is so. bizarre and freighting. and. why do I feel. as if. I'll. pass out.?}
Sakura dropped to her knees. Her body was losing energy. Struggling, she lifted her head to see her double step over her. Her eyes were emotionless.
She scoffed. "And to believe that I was in your body. You're weak." And with that, she struck Sakura so hard and fast in the back of the head that she instantly was knocked out.
----- -----
Darrell sat up in his bed in a cold sweat, gasping for air. He stared at the wall in front of him, then to the window to his right. then he raised his right hand to his face.
"A dream." he mouthed quietly. "Just a dream. but it felt so real."
He just sat there for a good 5 minutes. That guy. whoever that was. was so good at fighting that he made Darrell look as if he was standing still. It ended so quickly. then his stomach started to heave.
Darrell started to groan softly while holding his stomach. "Okay, that's the last time I train that late. Okay. okay. I think I'm fine now."
He was just about to lay back down when a blood-curling scream rose through the air.
{That HAD to be Sakura.}
Reacting on instincts, he jumped out of the bed and rushed to Sakura's bedroom.
----- -----
"NOOO!!!" Sakura shot up out of her bed and onto the floor. She pressed her back on her dresser and started breathing hard, trying to calm down.
"Sakura? Sakura! Are you okay? It's me, Darrell! Let me know if you're okay!"
That was him. He was knocking on the bedroom door, trying to get to Sakura. She took a minute to relax and made her way to the door and opened it. On the other side was Darrell's worried face.
"I heard you scream. You woke up the whole house. Everything okay with you?"
Sakura just stared at him. {Should I tell him? No. He'll just think I'm crazy.}
Sakura sighed. "Nothing, nothing," she responded. Somehow, she knew that he wouldn't buy that, and he didn't.
"It couldn't be 'nothing'. Let me guess. you had a nightmare too, didn't you?"
He hit the nail right on the coffin. Sakura lowered her head to the carpet.
"It was just. Ryu. He was in his evil form. and he pulled out what looked like my dark side from my body. She took me out." She was sobbing throughout her sentence. She raised her eyes to see Darrell again, expecting some type of ridicule. Instead, he just gave her a concerned look.
"I had a dream almost like that," he said. His voice was shaken up and his eyes no longer made contact with Sakura's. They aimed to the side. "Some guy in a black gi and blood red eyes.. He. he."
He dropped to his knees and Sakura followed, staring at the top of his head since he was now looking at the floor.
"HE KILLED ME, SAKURA!!" he finally busted, totally shaken up now. Sakura put a hand on his back for comfort.
{Looks like he had a worse one,} she thought. {He's practically spooked! It sort of makes me feel better. knowing that someone has it worse than me.}
Darrell must have come to his senses as he stopped sobbing and looked up into Sakura's face. He gasped and jumped away from her. Both of them sweatdropped.
{Did I just.?} Darrell thought, totally embarrassed about his actions. {Why did I DO that?!}
"I'm. sorry, Sakura," he mumbled. "I got carried away."
Sakura smiled nervously. "At least you made me feel better. There's nothing to be sorry about."
"What in the world is going on, Sakura?"
In a hallway behind Sakura was a young boy, roughly ten or eleven, with black hair similar to Sakura's and a pair of Spider-Man pajamas. If Sakura was younger, shorter, and a boy, that is what her younger brother, Tsukushi, would look like.
"It's nothing, Tsukushi. Just a little nightmare," Sakura replied.
"You. had nightmares.?"
"Like I said, it's nothing."
"Whatever you say, Sakura," he said, his glaze turned to the visitor. "Oh, hi, Darrell."
Darrell didn't respond automatically. He just kindly looked at Sakura's little brother. He pointed his fingers at Tsukushi in some somewhat cool pose.
"Heyyy, Tsukushi!" he answered. Tsukushi just stared back with an eyebrow raised.
"Yeah., well, Sakura, I'm going back to bed. See you in the morning." Tsukushi turned the corner back to his room. When the door closed, Darrell broke his pose and turned back to Sakura.
"Why do you always do that to my brother?" Sakura asked skeptically.
Darrell returned with a smile. "I can't resist. Well, I guess everything is back to normal. I'm going to hit the sack."
----- -----
"Do you have the info in our three. subjects?"
"Do I? I just managed to catch them while they were in the middle of sparring. I got a large amount of data right here on their fighting styles, personality, likes, dislikes."
"Okay, don't go crazy. This will be more than enough. Now, let's finish the preparations."
----- -----
"Hyah!"
"Not bad. Now, try it again. Try to make it faster."
"All right. Hyah!"
"That's more like it!"
Darrell was practicing his Senpukyaku, a hopping spin kick. Sakura was monitoring him in the backyard again. The sky had a few clouds in it, and the afternoon was pretty windy and brisk. Hinata was standing by, watching the American show his stuff again. They would start sparring again once after he got his move under wraps. He had been using this move for years, but he wanted to increase the speed of the kick. It was originally supposed to be slow, but for some reason, he wanted a fast maneuver. No one seemed to argue.
Darrell wiped the sweat of his forehead. "Okay, Sakura. I'm about to try my extension moves with the Senpukyaku. What about this?"
Darrell hopped again, twirled his body, and brought his leg out, just like the other times. This time, when he landed, he kept spinning and unleashed an uppercut, then a spinning sweep kick.
"Nice," Sakura commented. "That was right on the mark. Now, let Hinata and me spar with each other again while you rest."
Darrell started to walk to where Hinata was.
"All right! Round 2, coming up after a word from our sponsor," he said gleefully, putting his hands in his jean pockets. He was about to say something else, but he got cut off by a familiar voice.
"Sorry, but there won't be a 'Round 2'."
The trio turned to the backyard gate where no other than Sho was standing at. His arms were crossed and an evil smirk on his face.
"How did you get here!?" Sakura demanded.
"Don't worry about that, beautiful," Sho responded. "What you SHOULD be worried about is me! I'm here for my revenge!"
Darrell was fixing his handguards again. His eyes were insanely serious. "You don't know when to quit, do you?" he asked as he entered his fighting stance. "This time, you are going DOWN!"
Darrell's red-orange aura came back around his body. He held his fist out in front of his face.
"Shakunetsuken!!" he bellowed as his fist shot into flames. He looked at Sho, who still had his smile on his face. "I'll wipe that smirk off your face."
Sho laughed. "I admit that when I first saw you guys, I was a little scared. but now I know all of your moves. You don't stand a chance."
Darrell started dashing towards his foe. "Well, we'll just see about that!" He got within range then moved to the side of Sho, expecting him to attack. Sho did just the opposite; he just stood there.
{He isn't moving. Does he want me to feed him my fist? Oh, well.}
"This is it!" Darrell said out loud as he wound up and delivered a burning punch to Sho's cheek. He reeled from the blow, just to be beamed by a Senpukyaku combination attack, also hitting his target. Sho hit the ground and slowly got back up. Once again, he met Darrell's burning fist.
"Rekka. NAKKURA!!" Darrell severely damaged Sho with an insanely fast punching combination, then the uppercut, knocking Sho into the air, followed with an air combo. As he handed the pummeling, he yelled out, "Here, Sakura! Hit him with you-know-what!"
Darrell smashed Sho to where Sakura was, who was charging up her energy. A large blue ball of energy showed in her hands.
"This is for Kei. Shinku Hadouken!" Sakura blasted upwards, hitting Sho right in the back. While he was being hit by the Shinku Hadouken, she yelled at Hinata. "Finish this, Hinata!"
"Right! Now this one is for the other day! Yah!" Hinata jumped into the air and connected her Resen Enbukyaku. Sho's back was murdered by Hinata's burning kicks. After five hits, Hinata dropped to the ground. along with Sho's tattered body. Darrell stood over Sho's shaking body, along with his two friends and spat at the ground.
"That was all too easy. Now you see. your actions came back to haunt you, Sho. I don't know what to do with you now. Maybe the police would like to hold you."
Sho coughed a few times and muttered, "You. still don't. get it.?
"What are you talking about?" Hinata asked the wounded man.
"You'll see. Hyah!" Suddenly, Sho jerked his head and right hand up at the three. A burst of energy emitted from his body.
"Hey!" Sakura yelped. She seemed to struggle a bit, but her body didn't move. "I. can't move, guys!"
"You are not the only one! What did you do?!" Hinata demanded.
"It is pretty obvious, isn't it? I froze your bodies. But that's not all."
"What?" Darrell spoke.
"You see, what I did was not only freeze your bodies, but. I also put a knockout element in the move."
"WHAT?!" all three fighters belted out. Before they could let out another word, all the energy that was stored in their bodies seemed to just evaporate and replaced with enormous pain. The trio let out loud moans before falling to the ground, knocked out. Sho slowly stood up and stared at the fighters.
"Finally, they passed out. The things I do for Shadowloo. but I accomplished the mission. Now, to get these guys to the base."
