Sakura just blink and literally everything around her had gone completely and utterly white as the entire area as long and far as the eye could see was just white. However in the vast whiteness that she was currently in Sakura was not alone entirely as there was in fact one other person at the moment. The short orange hair girl that was now as Juni was the only one that existed within this space with her.
This was probably because Juni was the only one to have ever experience the level of program before. The only member of the Dolls unit that was able to reject the memory rewrite process. However that was rather then that being a good thing in was in fact the worse thing possible as her comrades were simply eased into their new rolls as memories were changed sullen manner. They were completely absorbed into being part of Shadaloo Academy's elite squad known as the Dolls mentally so they would be that way in reality as well. Only in reality Shadaloo was not an Academy and though they were still a elite squad. It was just an elite squad of assassins and personal bodyguards to Bison.
Juni and soon Sakura would find out they were different from the others in how they were transformed. There would be no easy transition from normal girl to one of Bison's Dolls. Although at the moment Juni just stood there at attention seem to await orders as Sakura looked down and noticed that she was no longer wearing the same outfit as Juni but her normal attire she wore while Street Fighting.
Knowing that this was not reality only meant one thing apparently as she was no longer having to deal with that mess up virtual version of her life. However that was something she had even call into question a few time as she pinched herself so hard in the arm she actually saw some blood, yet was not waking up from the pain. Sakura thought she would try something else in trying to make herself wake up as she was not dreaming but apparently trapped in some kind of virtual world. So maybe if she found something within this vast blank area she might wake up. A type of trigger or something to get out of here from the inside, the chance were low. Sure she still be naked and strapped to a table but at least she be in reality again not this place where she had no idea what was in store for her. Sadly no matter how far she walked away from Juni whenever she looked back the girl was always standing right there the distance between them never changing.
It then that there was buzzing sound that appear in her head that just keep getting louder and louder. At first she was able to tone it out as whatever she heard or saw in this place was not real. She was not going to allow herself to fall back into that trap. Getting out of it the first time might have been skill or luck but she did not want to take that chance.
Sakura then came to a sudden stop as the sound become more then just that. She could actually make out what it was that continuing ramming against her mind like a battering ram.
'Fight Her….Fight Her…Fight Her….Fight Her….Fight Her….Fight Her…Fight Her' the chant went
Once them mantra just began ring in her head over and over again. Sakura tried plugging her ears while the voice was coming from inside her head. The simple motion of covering her ears might at least help steeling her resolve to ignore it. In the end all it took was just one slip in Sakura's control when the voice stopped sounding like the stranger's and became her own. That one moment of shock where hear herself saying this mantra was all that was need for her mind and eyes go blank as she charged at Juni who took stance as Sakura came rushing at her.
However once Sakura had gotten close enough the orange hair girl grabbed her and spiral up into the air with Sakura, then come crashing down on her stomach. Sakura jumped back after just getting caught up in Juni's Earth Direct move.
Seeing that she might have a chance attempted to strike about at Juni with her Sakura Otoshi yet after nailing her opponent with the first blow and the two follow up hammer strike she screw on the final one and lost her balance. Being left extremely vulnerable afterwards she was subjected to Juni's Hooligan Combination ending it with a powerful frankensteiner throw.
As Sakura and Juni continued to fight her rough self taught style was showing the flaws as normal she was able to get by just fine despite these things. However as she fought against this girl things were not really working out for her for some reason.
As the fury of blows and kicks that were exchanged between the two girls continued it could clearly be seen that her fighting style was getting better and better. Her moves which were once just weaker and imperfect version of Ryu's moves were now becoming similar to his in both power and execution.
Though normally useless to anyone other then Dan Hibki, his Saikyo-ryu style was not as useless as everyone seem to think that it was. After all Dan was for a short amount of time was a student of Gokuen's like Ryu and Ken. To have taken on Dan as his student Gouken must have saw something in Dan at one point. Although whatever spark or potential Gouken saw in Dan was crushed when he learned of his student's desire learn from him only to get vengeance on someone. Gouken refused to continue teaching Dan after this and expelled him from his dojo, fearing that if he had continued Dan would might end up walking down a dark path.
What does all this about info about the joke of the Street Fighter have to do with Sakura and her moves improving. While for example take Dan's Gadoukens, consider to be the pretty much a pathetic excuse for a Hadoken that someone that learned from only video tapes can outdo. They were still mostly likely based on the same basic he probably learned from Gouken before being expelled. So when Sakura learned the entire Saikyo-ryu from Dan in only three days, half of what she learned may have simply been modified and merged version of Muay Thai. It was what the Muay Thai was modified and merged with that really matter in the end, that being Gouken's martial art style. So in very indirect manner she had already learned from Ryu. Gouken taught both Ryu and Dan then Dan in turn taught Sakura. No matter how much they may have put their own touches on things, the basic are the basic after all.
Thus by distilling Saikyo-ryu back to just being purely Gouken's martial art style, Sakura own self taught version was greatly improved as she even now perform one handed Hadokens that were just below Ryu's level. Same with all her other moves as her Shoryukens were now nearly perfect and even her Hurricane Kick were now the same. Each move though now nearly perfected still had her own little touch to them yet the rough edges had been smooth over so they fluent in their execution.
Now the tables had turned as everything Juni had tried was not getting through and Sakura had gained the upper hand. As Juni stood there teetering back and forth after being beaten yet still on her feet. The young Kasugano finished off Juni with the very move that she had saw Ryu use to defeat Sagat in the first Global Street Fighter tournament. The Metsu Shoryuken the very move that left that huge scar that was now adorning Sagat's chest.
As Juni's uniform brunt away along the path of this very powerful version of the Shoryuken sent her flying backwards as unlike Sagat who was giant at nearly eight feet tall. Juni was actually just an inch taller then Sakura and rather shocking she did not just have her head lopped off or something. The size difference between Sagat and Ryu also played a role in it just being giant chest scar. Jumping over to where her foe had landed Sakura sat on top of her chest her hand raise about to take the final blow to Juni though stopping just mere inches smashing her face in. However this was when she came to her sense again and realized what had become of the person she was fighting and herself for that matter.
