DD1: Sorry for the long time for an update, but I have been kinda busy out here in the Middle East. Hope this chapter makes sense with the rest of them. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------

In the middle of the night, Kyshaun wakes up from his sleep. Something woke him up. A sound, a sound like a flute, very faint but still hearable. He doesn't know why it is bothering him, but there is something about the music, that melody, that is drawing him to it. He runs over to a nearby window and opens it. The melody grew louder. All I know is that if I am going to follow it, it won't be Kyshaun following it, he thought as a cloud of smoke flies out of the window at great speed.

It is a snowy day at Central Park. All the birds flew south for the winter. A blanket of snow covers the ground. The cloud stops at a nearby clearing. When the smoke clears, the Dark Shadow looks around. The melody has stopped, he thought as he scans the area.

Dark Shadow-This was the last stop that the strange tune was coming from. Where could it be now? ???-So you must be the great hero of this world. Some outfit you got there.

The Dark Shadow turns to where the voice is coming from and almost burst out in laughter. It seems that someone had a little too much tonight, he thought as he is looking at someone dress up as the video game hero Link, complete with sword and shield which was on his back. He is wearing a hood over his ears. In his hand is an object shaped like an ocarina.

Dark Shadow-*trying to hold back laughter* Hey man, I'm sorry, but your outfit just screams "fag". I mean, what are you doing? Are you out looking for fairies? Link-No I'm not. I gathered all the fairies I need when I came here. I am here to wait for you. Dark Shadow-So judging from your flute thingie, you are the person who woke me up. I don't know what frequency that thing is on, but. Link-.it is not a "thing". It is an ocarina. More appropriately, it is the "Ocarina of Time" Dark Shadow-Well whatever just shut the shit up. Link-But I use it to call upon your services. Dark Shadow-My services? *Scratching his chin* What the hell for? Link-I don't know everything at the moment. All I know is that there is a great evil that is gaining strength day by day. Once his gains all of it back, not only will it destroy your world, but it will affect every single world on every single plane. Including my world of. Dark Shadow-Hyrule, right. Ok buddy, I'm sorry, but first, you are not Link, the Hero of Time. Because if you were, you can defeat the monster with your Tri-Force of Power. Link-*confuse look on face* How do you know about Hyrule and my name? Dark Shadow-Guy, whoever you are, look, Link is not real, OK. He is a video game character. You do not have the Master Sword. You do not have the Tri-Force. You do not have those earrings that make you understand my language. Link-You talking about these? **He removes his hood, which reveal his pointy ears with an earring in each ear. He removes the earrings from his ears** (talking in elven tongue. A/N: sorry but I don't have a clue about Elven) Dark Shadow-Ok, since I know all the languages in this world, and I didn't understand a damn world you said, I conclude that you are talking jibberish. Gotta try harder to convince me. Link-**puts on earrings** What more proof do you need? Dark Shadow-**mischievous smile on his face** Ok, show me the Tri-Force of Power.

Link lets out a sigh as he walks behind a nearby tree. He returns back carrying a backpack. He sets it on the snow and opens it. Blinding light shoots out from the bag as he retrieves.

Dark Shadow-Holy shit, it's the Tri-Force! You are that guy. Why? What are you..I mean. Link-Hey I know it is a lot to take right now, but you must.Shh, be quiet.

Link and Dark Shadow both stood completely still, the only sound is the wind blowing in the trees. However, a faint sound can be heard. The sound is of footsteps crushing the snow underneath. They turn to the direction and see a huge monstrosity coming towards them. The humanoid monster towers over the two, wearing a trench coat, his face horribly disfigured. Protruding from both arms, tentacles dangle down his side, moving wildly around. Once the figure reaches the two, he stops and stares directly at them. Both men drew out their swords, but the monster did not move an inch. However, a voice from inside its body boomed out to them.

Voice-Good day, Mr. Shadow. I see I was unable to prevent you from meeting up with Mr. Link. How unfortunate. I hope that Mr. Link didn't tell you too much on what's going on. Link-Can the sweet talk. Who are you? Voice-My name is none of you concern, but Mr. Shadow on the other hand knows who I am. Dark Shadow-**in deep thought** Umm no, doesn't ring a bell. Voice-DAMNIT, YOU KNOW WHO THIS IS. You fought my minions earlier last week. Dark Shadow-Bison? Nah, it can't be you. This is not your style. You like to have your chicks whore, I mean work for you. Bison-SILENCE, INFIDEL! How dare you talk to me in such manner. Dark Shadow-Simple, I can cut up your little "creation" here to shreds in seconds. I don't really take you seriously. Link-Hey Shadow guy, umm person whatever. Let's not piss off this guy. This guy is huge. Dark Shadow-Nah. **pokes at monster with Masamune** He is really just a big softy underneath it all. Bison-GRRRRRAAAAAAAHH! That does it. You will die now, the both of you. Nemesis, activate. Input code 2271.

Upon those words, the tentacles flies out at the heroes, but they dodge out of its way. Link runs up a nearby tree, where he pulls out his bow and arrows. The Dark Shadow runs to the backside of Nemesis and impales his sword in its back. Nemesis turns around and punches the Dark Shadow in the face, knocking him back through some nearby trees. Link lets his arrows fly, the arrows imbedding in the monster. Nemesis wraps his tentacles around the limbs he was standing on and rip it from the tree. Link fell from the tree right on his back. The Dark Shadow crawls out from the broken trees and shakes his head.

Bison-As you can see, this "softy" is actually one of the best soldiers I can make. Thanks to my merger with a disclosed company, I can create more and more of these undead super soldiers. I will rule this world, your world Link, and any other world in creation. Feel upon the might of Nemesis.

Dark Shadow-**stands up and walks to Nemesis** It seems that your creation is perfect in every way. All, except one. Bison-Oh really. And what exactly would that be. Dark Shadow-Oh you will see, oh what you won't see.

The Dark Shadow covers his eyes and speaks a chant to himself. Masamune glows a white light while still embedded in Nemesis. Nemesis tries to look at the sword behind him.

Bison-What, what are you doing back there? What is going on? Dark Shadow-Oh nothing. Just a little light show right before the big boom. SOUL EXPLOSION.

The sword exploded inside of Nemesis, spreading his body parts and metal pieces all over the place. Link ducks down as various parts cover on top of him. Once the parts stop falling, Link stands up and wipes the chunks from his body. He walks over to the Dark Shadow, which is already where Nemesis once stood, looking at something on the ground.

Link-Wow, what exactly just happen here? Dark Shadow-Simple, I blew up my sword. Link-**in shock** Why would you do something like that? A man's sword is his prized possession. You cannot be blowing up every sword you see. Dark Shadow-Not unless you can do this.

The Dark Shadow stands up with his right arm stretched above him. A ball of energy forms in his hand. The ball then stretch itself out, forming into Masamune once it was over.

Link-**shocked once more** How do you do that? Dark Shadow-Well my friend, the Masamune is not just an ordinary sword. It is an extension of myself. And blah blah blah and a yadda yadda yadda. What concerns me is this. **reaches down and picks up a small metal ball.** This seems to be how General Bison was transmitting his messages through the thing. Link-And I can figure out who is the "disclosed company" he was talking about. Dark Shadow-What do you mean?

Link grabs the ball and rotates it for the Dark Shadow. On his side of the ball, he can see the Umbrella symbol stamped on it.

Dark Shadow-So Umbrella team up with Bison, but for what? Link-I guess the tournament is not a coincidence after all. So what does a fighting tournament, a crazed General, a pharmaceutical company, and the undead have in common? Dark Shadow-I don't know, but I will find out. Link-Hey Shadow. Dark Shadow-What? Link-You will wake up in 3, 2, 1.

Kyshaun wakes up in his bed, the morning sun shining through. Man what a weird dream, he thought as he look at his clock. 10 am, shit, I miss out on most of the tournament. As he jumps out of bed, he glances at his phone. There is a message on it. He presses the play button.

Message-Hey Kyshaun, this is Jami. I just call wanting to say that I cannot go out today to the tournament. I have to catch up on my schoolwork and stuff. And well, you understand. It's what us college kids do. Well hopefully I talk to you later. Please don't be mad. Bye. Kyshaun-Well ain't that a bitch. Well, no time to complain. Time to get dressed.

An hour later, Kyshaun is stuck in the middle of traffic. He cuts the car off and turn off the music. He can hear the yells of everyone around him. Some good, most are bad.

Kyshaun-Well this is nice, I had one freaky ass dream, I overslept, my date cancelled on me, and I'm stuck in traffic. What more could happen to me?

As soon as he said those words, a car beside him explode in flames. He looks forward and sees about a little ways down a man in dark blue armor flipping random cars with a huge sword.

Kyshaun-I just had to ask did I? Well, time for a daytime appearance.

Up further along the street, the man known as Nightmare is going berserk for some strange reason. The only word coming out of his mouth is "MASSARCE" over and over. He spied a minivan just to the right of him. Inside, a woman is trying to free her son from the child seat. As Nightmare swings his sword at the van, it is blocked. On the other end, the Dark Shadow intercepts his blade in the path.

Kyshaun-What, may I ask, are you doing? Nightmare-KILL! DESTROY! Kyshaun-Oook. Someone is a little cranky today. Nightmare-MASSARCE!

Nightmare tries to grab the Dark Shadow with his claw, but he flips over him and kicks him in the back. Nightmare takes another swing, but he miss and the Dark Shadow disarm him. However, he felt the full power of his claw as Nightmare slams him into the road. He walks over to the crater now left and receives a punch in the face from the Dark Shadow. With Nightmare staggering back, he landed in from of him charged full of energy.

Dark Shadow-Hey Nightmare, he's something for you!

The Dark Shadow drops his sword and cuffs his hands. A ball of blue energy forms in his hands. He drew his hand to his side, just like the Hadoken blast. He yells out HADOKEN as he pushes the blue ball towards Nightmare. It exploded upon impact, sending Nightmare down 4 blocks. He landed on a brand new Lexus; luckily no one was in it.

Dark Shadow-And that is that. Wonder why he was acting that way? Evil Jami-That would be me.

The Dark Shadow looks up as Evil Jami flies down in front of him. Her hair still covering her face, she walks up face to face with him.

Dark Shadow-Another one of your "puppets" I see. Evil Jami-Well yes mortal, he is of weak mind. He should be controlled at all times. Dark Shadow-No one should be controlled by anyone. Just because you have more power than other, doesn't make you superior. Evil Jami-Ha, don't make me laugh. You do it all the time. Except you hide behind the "justice" clause. In the end, you and I are the same way. Dark Shadow-I don't think so. Listen, lady. Why shouldn't I just slice you in two down your midsection? Evil Jami-Simple, if you could, you would have done it already. Your good character is holding you back. You have knowledge of the Hadou. You know the shadow arts as well. You are an unstoppable force. Come join with me. Together we can rule the world. Dark Shadow-I think no.. Evil Jami-**puts a finger to his lips** SShh, hold your answer. I want you to think on it for a while. When I come back, then you answer. Until then, goodbye.

Evil Jami jumps into the air and flies off, leaving the Dark Shadow behind with his thoughts. A nearby person walks over cautiously to him.

Person-So do you think you will join her? Dark Shadow-**looks to the person** To be honest now, I don't know.

DD1: Well, looks like someone is in a dilemma. I once again wanna thank Jami, the writer of such stories as "Street Fighter Teens", for getting me out of a big rut. I did not know how I was gonna add Link into the story, but thanks to Ch2 of SFTeens (with the Nemesis as a librarian), I figure it out with the quickness. Ok just like always, R&R. Peace out for K-Wait.

Oh yeah, OMG, we got Saddam, your bastards.
