Chapter 12: The Fall of Bison
"You sense that?" Ken asked as he fought off another soldier.
"Of course. . . but I don't like it," Chun-Li answered after nailing a Tenshoukyaku on another one of Bison's dolls.
"We'll have to make this quick!" Charlie yelled while dodging some random attacks and countering with a Somersault Shell. "If that's Bison's power. . ."
"No. . . This fells very familiar," Ken interrupted after Shoryuken'ing the last of the current wave of Shadowloo soldiers. "It's like. . ."
"Like what?" Charlie demanded.
Just then, Ken's eyes open wide, remembering a certain event that occurred 4 years ago."
{It couldn't be. . .}
---- ----
"So you also have Satsu no Hadou. . ." Bison said while grinning. "It'll be a pleasure to claim that for my own."
"Don't be stupid," Darrell S. shot back. "I'm more than you can ever handle. You just rely on cheap tactics and other people's efforts to get what you want. Why can't you do it yourself?"
"You fool!" Bison yelled. "I control EVERYTHING here! That is just a symbol of my power!"
The Satsu version of Darrell just shook his head. "You call this power? I'll show you power. . ."
Darrell S's Satsu aura appears all around him as he charged up a red Hadouken in his hands.
{Shakunetsu Shinku Hadouken, huh?} Bison thought while bracing himself. {I told that fool that I know all his moves. . .}
He wasn't expecting Darrell to warp right behind him, keeping the charge, and fired. . . at the Psycho Drive at point blank range, leaving a massive dent right on the left side.
"NOOOO!!!!!" Bison wailed as his machine started to malfunction immediately and release the others. "You bastard!! I'll kill you for this!!!"
Darrell S. turned his head.. . . and just gave an evil smile
"I'd like to see you try. . ."
Bison's aura went up as he tried to strike his enemy with a psycho charged fist. . . only to get nailed right in the stomach by a Gou-Shakunetsuken.
"You're pathetic. . ." Darrell mumbled as he saw Bison drop to his knees and cover up his stomach. "I remember how easily Sakura's dark side beat you last time. It seems as if you never recovered after 4 years. Even Akuma in his weakest state was tougher than you are and since I blew up most of your precious Psycho Drivee, I think you're just about ripe for the plucking. . ."
Darrell then made a Shakunetsuken Sword and prepared to thrust it. . . but Bison disappeared. . . and reappeared right in front AND in back of him.
"HA! HA! HA! PSYCHO CANNON!!!"
The two charged up two huge balls of Psycho Energy. Darrell just smirked then warped out of it behind a copy just as they launched. The two blasts canceled out as Bison went back to one body just as he was kicked in the temple from behind, getting planted into a wall.
"I told you that you shouldn't act so stupid," Darrell S. taunted while grinning.
{I think play time's over} the normal Darrell spoke inside his head. {Let's kill him and get outta here.}
{Yeah, sure. He's pretty boring to fight anyway.}
"I. . . will NOT let this happen!" Bison yelled out while standing. "I WILL-"
Darrell S. instantly cut him off. "OH, SHUT UP!!! I'm SO TIRED of bad guys giving me their longass speech just before they die. It makes me sick. . ."
Ashura Warp into Bison's face. . . Shakunetsuken Sword into the stomach. . .
". . .and frankly, I'm just tired of seeing your face. I hope they have a nice place reserved for you in hell. . ."
Shungokusatsu. As everything came back to view, Darrell S. was staring at the Psycho Drive, standing over Bison's dead body. . . and smirked.
"I guess this is what they mean by the phrase, 'Over my dead body,' huh. . .? Hey!"
Instantly, the two Darrell's split from one another in identical poses and it took a while for the normal one to snap out of it.
"Whoa. . . At least you know how to use the Shungokusatsu without losing my soul. . ."
Darrell S. rolled his eyes. "Duh!"
"Well. . . I think it's time we finished off the Psycho Drive."
Darrell S. nodded. . . then gave the original a look.
"Wait a minute. You don't have enough energy to do this with me."
"I think I do. . . but I think that afterwards. . ."
"I know and I'm NOT carrying you out of here."
Darrell grinned. "Just merge with me again. . . It'll be one less body to carry."
Now the Satsu clone gave him another look. "What?? You mean that you'll actually. . .?"
"No," the original replied sternly. "I might be knocked out but we didn't fight. It'll be temporary. . . just until we get on out plane."
"Oh."
"By the way. . . while we were together. . . I saw some of your memories. . ."
Darrell S. shot the third look and the original sighed.
"Okay, ALL of them. I know how we split, who Gill was and what you've been going the last four years. I never thought that I'd be in space. . ."
"At least that saves me from explaining things. Come on. . ."
Both entered their Hadouken stances, the Satsu version getting his charge up faster.
"Shakunetsu. . . Shinku. . . HADOUKEN!!!"
The two fired. . . and in a flaming explosion the Psycho Drive was destroyed.
"Mission. . . complete. . ." the original muttered. . . the let out a low groan as he collapsed on the floor. Darrell S. looked at his original's now unconscious body and smirked just as a voice shouted from behind.
"Hey, Darrell!"
Charlie, Chun-Li, and Ken entered the now open backside of the room and stared at all the passed out bodies of their companions. . . then at the two Darrell's in front of a flaming contraption.
"Let me guess. . ." Ken muttered. "That's the Psycho Drive, isn't it?"
"Yeah. . ." was all Darrell S. said.
"So where's Bison?" Chun-Li added to the questions. Darrell S. just pointed to the body of Bison under him.
"In hell. . . hopefully. . ."
"And. . . who the hell are you?" Charlie added, giving a stern look. "That's the Darrell we know on the floor. . ."
"I'm his dark side. . . but I'll tell you once we get on the plane."
He hen used the Ashura warp into his 'brother's' body and within a few seconds, the now solitary Darrell got up and faced the three.
"Let's get outta here."
---- ----
--8 hours later-
Sakura K. slowly opened her eyes. Darrell did the same. . . and once they did they found out that Sakura was lying on top of Darrell, their lips locked in a kiss. They went wide-eyed for in surprise before breaking the kiss and staring at one another.
"Darrell. . .?"
"Sakura. . .?"
"What the heck. . .?" both said simultaneously as they looked around them. . . and things started to fall into order. They were in the Shadowloo plane that everyone used, flying towards what looked like Tokyo through the open cargo door. Sakura dropped off her husband's body and onto her butt and sighed.
"Man, I'm wiped. . . What happened?"
Darrell paused for a second, collecting his thoughts, but before he could speak, someone else did.
"Simple. We merged and we kicked Bison's ass."
{That voice. . . was like Darrell's. . .}
Sakura looked behind her. . . and met Darrell's dark side standing right over her. She let out a yelp and scrambled beside her husband.
"Darrell!! That's-"
"I know," Darrell interrupted. "It's okay. He's a good guy, like I said."
"Really?" she responded while blinking rapidly. Darrell S. nodded.
"Yep! I'm pretty good now. Don't worry about me."
Sakura forced an uneasy smile just as Kaoru and Sakura S. came in thought the back of the cargo room.
"Hey! That's Darrell's dark side!" Kaoru yelled. "Just what in the hell are you doing here??"
"Hold on a sec!" Darrell S. let out while giving the motion to lay off. I'm not here to cause trouble. Besides, I'm about to leave, anyway."
"What?" the original let out while standing up. "You're leaving? What about. . .?"
"Bro. . . I think I learned that merging isn't as great as I thought. Besides, it's more fun to come save your ass from trouble, anyway."
"Oh, please. . ." Darrell muttered. "Spare me."
"Okay, I'll be seeing ya. . ."
Darrell flashed a smile then Ashura Warped to parts unknown. As the group looked at home from the pilot's windows, a thought went through Darrell's mind.
{Well. . . that was a interesting experience. . . I just know that I'm going to see him again. . . Wait a minute!}
"Girls!" he yelled out. "We've got a problem!"
"Like what?" Sakura S. asked.
"Just who in the hell is flying this thing?"
A huge silence filled the plane afterwards. . . then as 30 seconds of panicked screaming commenced, Hinata just put on a set of ear mugs and resumed flying like a pro.
{I just knew that this would come in handy. Thank you, college!}
---- ----
--One week later-
Darrell let the Japanese sun shine on him as he came within a yard of his home. He just got off work that Friday and was planning on taking Sakura K. out to a movie alone. During the week, Kaoru made herself right at home at their house, planning on staying there and head to the high school Hinata used to go to. The Sakuras went back to their college studies and Darrell resumed getting money in his wallet. All was well in the world.
As he looked at his neighboring house that was up for sale way before their little adventure, a sudden thought arouse in his head.
{Someone bought it. . . Wonder who it was. . .}
"DARRELL!!!!"
Darrell practically jumped out of his uniform as Sakura K. called his name as she ran from the porch to him. Darrell clearly saw a shocked look on her face and got worried.
"What's wrong, Sakura?"
"You will NOT believe who bought the house next to us!"
"Who?"
Sakura simply pointed to the house's bedroom window and Darrell followed the gaze. . . and his jaw dropped.
"BRO!?!?"
There was Darrell's dark side, about to get intimate with what looked like his girlfriend in his bed. Just before he got busy, he looked out the window and shouted to his light side, "HI, NEIGHBOR!!"
Sakura K. and Darrell just stared back at him in disbelief. . . then Darrell sighed and looked up to the evening sky.
"There goes the neighborhood. . ."

I have friends now!! *smiles* Anyway, there is another New Archives story coming out REALLY soon and it'll most likely be longer and more action-based than this one was. This is DeNice signing off.
