Chapter 7: Return of Bison
Kaoru slowly regained consciousness. . . but at the same time, she didn't want to. She could fell that her body was a wreck because was soon as she tried to move her body ached severely. She really couldn't move anyway since she was chained to a wall. . . but where was she? She slowly opened her eyes. . . and quickly identified it in her head.
{What. . .? I'm. . . in an. . . airplane?}
It looked like a military plane. . . and in the same room as her were the rest of the gang, also bonded to the walls, unconscious and beaten up pretty badly
{Oh, man. . . What happened?} she asked herself, knowing that she didn't have the answers. Just then, the plane jolted a tiny bit and she could feel it staring to descend. Also, she heard footsteps coming from the door in front of her. Thinking fast, she closed her eyes, faking that she was still knocked out, and looked through the stilts in her eyes. She could barely see the woman in the familiar black uniform as it came in and moved towards Darrell and then looked at the rest of the group.
"Yes. . . We should be landing shortly. . . Requesting permission to land. . . Understood. . . Send them right to you? Confirmed. . ."
She then left and Kaoru sighed, fully opening her eyes and staring at Darrell.
"So, you faked, too," Kaoru asked and Darrell let out a low groan.
"Yeah. . ." he replied weakly. "The thing is. . . I have no idea where we are. . ."
"I know. We obviously have been captured by someone. . . Well, I'm not going to take this sitting down! I'm breaking out!"
"Wait. Don't do that. . ."
"Why not?"
"Think about it, Kaoru. We're in an airplane, captured by someone, and about to land at their hideout or whatever. If we cause a ruckus, the guys at the base will definitely know that something is wrong and the next thing we know, we're surrounded by like a hundred of those jokers, whoever they are. We need to keep a low profile so that when we do get out of here, they won't know that we're gone."
"Okay, Darrell," Kaoru replied while releasing some tension. "I guess you guys need to regain a lot of energy, too. Your energy is really low."
"Yeah, I know. . . Whoever got us must have waited for us to get tired from our fight."
Darrell closed his eyes, his little orange aura covering his body, and focused on getting his energy back up. Kaoru followed suit, making sure to hold back so that their captors didn't notice that they were awake. It didn't take long for them to stop, though, since the shake of the airplane threw off their concentration. It screeched to a halt and once again the only door swung open to reveal a lot more women in the black uniform. The two didn't bother to fake this time, staring all of them down.
"Subject 3 and 5 are now up. . ." one said. "No matter. Their energy is only at 23% and 20%, respectively. It's time that you've face our leader. . ."

"Talk about being rude to company," Sakura S. mumbled while waking up in a huge room with nothing in it but a symbol of a skullhead with wings. Immediately she knew what it was. . .
{Shadowloo. . . but. . . I thought. . .}
"Ugh. . . Wow. . . what. . . what happened?"
The dark Sakura turned to her sister, just getting up off the floor and rubbing her aching head.
"You okay, sis?" she asked her light side.
"No. . . I feel totally weak and my head is pounding. . . Everything hurts. . . Where are we anyway?"
Sakura S. only shook her head. She put her eyes to where Hinata, Darrell, and Kaoru were at, just sitting next to a wall. She could notice it. Everyone really took a hit. . . as she could hardly sense their energy. . . as well as her own. She sighed and laid on her back again.
"Now what?" she asked herself. Unfortunately, she got an answer to that. . .
"You shall see what's next. . ."
The wall in front of the group opened up. . . and everyone stared at it in horror. It was pretty obvious about the humongous amount of Psycho Energy was coming out of it. . . and the figure's appearance further clenched what Sakura S. was thinking of.
"Bison!!" she shrieked, "but. . . but how? It's impossible! I KILLED YOU!!!"
"Or so you thought, young one," he replied while floating in, a huge purple aura covering his body. "You see. . . As long as the Psycho Drive is in place, I'm immortal."
"Psycho Drive. . .?" Kaoru muttered under her breath. "What's that?"
Bison just grinned. "You shouldn't worry about that. I have other things for you to think about. . ."
Darrell let out a low growl. "Just what is going through that peanut brain of yours? Haven't you learned anything since last time. You couldn't beat us then, and you definitely didn't see us. . ."
"When you defeated Akuma and Rugal?" Bison ended, his evil grin widening. "Yes, I know. . ."
"What??" Sakura K. let out.
"Yes. . . I know all about your secret bond, all your moves. . . Everything of relevance to my mission. You see, I was stupid into thinking that just absorbing your energy will help me. I have a better idea. . . You five can serve me as my Shadowloo soldiers. . ."
"Are you crazy as well as stupid!?" Darrell shot back. "There's NO fucking way I'm serving you! The same goes for my friends. . . and my wife."
"That's what you think. . . When I'm done with you, you'll have no choice."
"Try me! Shakunetsu. . ." Darrell tried to make his fists go onto fire. . . but his body was nowhere able to support it. He fell to his knees, gasping for air, noticing that he just hurt himself, then looked at Bison. . . who had warped out of the room, the door closed shut.
"Ugh. . . that psychopath. . ." Hinata thought. "Why didn't he die?"
"I don't know. . ." Sakura S. replied in shock. "I swear I killed him with the Shungokusatsu. . ."
Just then, a humming noise could be heard from all over, and a sudden smog came out of the walls.
"What the!?" Darrell gasped as the group huddled together, getting away from the smoke.
"What IS that??" Kaoru asked, practically yelling it out in fear.
"I. . . I don't know. . ." Sakura S. answered, her eyes still on the cloud. She tried to think of something. . . ANYTHING to get out of this situation. . . but it was hopeless. The entire room was filled with smoke, the five of them coughing from the lack of oxygen. It was a universal feeling of clogged minds and internal pain. . . and it lasted until the cloud disappeared about 2 minutes later, leaving the young fighters on the ground. Bison then warped back into the room and smiled.
"Now. . . what do you have to say. . .?"
At first, only Darrell stood up, his head down. Then the other four got up as well. They simultaneously looked up to Bison. . . and their auras covered their bodies. Unfortunately. . . they were all Psycho purple, and their eyes glowed an eerie reddish tint.
"We. . . await your orders. . . Lord Bison. . ."
