Adventures in India!

After the fights against Ibuki and Guy, Logan and the crew, along with Ryu and Yoruichi, caught a flight going to India. They were going there to obviously find some challenges, but Guile also wanted to say 'hi' to their old friend Dhalsim, who was the leader, elder, and village shaman. The flight had just taken off when Yoruichi remembered something after seeing the guitar cases in the cargo hold. "Hey, Logan, why don't you sing one of those Patriotic Country songs that you love? It'll certainly lighten the mood," she asked.

"You listen to Country music?" Guile asked.

"Yep," he answered. "Classic Country, Modern Country, Country Rap, Country Rock, Southern Rock, and even Classic Rock. Just Bon Jovi, Brantley Gilbert, and ZZ Top for those last three, though. As for Yoruichi's request, I don't think I want to take a chance on pissing anyone off that's on this flight."

"Oh don't worry about us, hun," said Cammy. "We've actually listened to the music that Guile plays on the radio and I find some of it pretty funny. I guarantee you that we've heard every Patriotic song he's had on there."

"Tell me, sweetheart, has he played 'Drunk Americans' yet?" The question shocked Cammy and Chun-Li, but Yoruichi snickered merely at the name. Guile's perplexed look had made it obvious that he hasn't heard the song either. "I'll take that as a 'no'."

"You took it right," said Guile. Chun-Li, Abel, and Ryu were amused at the interaction among them. "Now I'm curious about this one. I might have heard it before, but I'm not sure." Logan smirked before bringing out a harmonica. "Where did you get that?"

"They were on sale at a gift shop at the Karakura Airport. 15 yen can go a long way." He then started to play the tune.

"We ain't East, We ain't West, We ain't left, We ain't right,
Ain't Black, We ain't White, We just came here to drink,
We're all mud flap suburbans, All ball caps and turbans,
All Prom Queens and strippers, We're the whole kitchen sink,
And in here, we're the same; everyone knows your name.

"We just raise the bar glass, We don't give a rat's ass
If you're a Democrat or Republican!
We're happy to be here tonight, you can see,
We're all Drunk Americans!"

"I thought that tune sounded familiar," Guile said. They looked around and saw that they were actually enjoying the show.

"Want to give it a shot?" Logan asked.

"I'd be happy to."

"We ain't second ex-wives, We ain't Cowboy's or Redskins,
Ain't preachers or kingpins, We're just having fun,
We're all suits and blue collars, short orders, long hollers,
Paper and plastic, too old and too young,
CEOs, GEDs, DUIs, FBIs, PHDs!

"We just raise the bar glass, we don't give a rat's ass
If your belly's too fat or your wallet's too thin!
We're happy to be here tonight you can see,
We're all Drunk Americans!

"La-la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la!
La-la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la!" exclaimed the passengers, who were joining in the song.

"All Drunk Americans!" Then Logan did the last verse.

"We've been in, We've been out, We've been cool, We've been weird,
Thank God We're still here in the land of the free,
And we all sing it wrong, but we all sing along, sing along!"

"We just raise the bar glass, we don't give a rat's ass
If you're a Democrat or Republican!
We're happy to be here tonight, you can see,
We're all Drunk Americans!

"In these neon lights, we're all stars, we're all stripes!
And we're all, Drunk Americans!"

After the song concluded, all the passengers cheered, even the locals, Ryu, Chun-Li, Yoruichi, Cammy, and Abel. "Thanks, guys, but I think 'Drunk on a Plane' would have been more appropriate," Logan joked. The girls giggled at that while Able and Guile smirked.

After a while, the plane landed in India. There were no vehicles to rent that could fit 7 people, so they went by foot. Luckily, Guile knew the way to Dhalsim's village. After moving the brushes, they came across a river…or what was supposed to be a river. They saw that the flow of the water was merely a small vein. "That's bad," said Guile. "C'mon. The village isn't too far from here." Soon, they got to the village and saw that the people there were in bad shape. Logan and Yoruichi were ticked off at this due to the reminder of the poor state of the Soul Society's Rukon District.

Eventually, Guile saw a man who literally looked as skinny as a stick, but still in decent shape. He wore a necklace of skulls and a pair of saffron shorts held by a piece of rope. He had three stripes on his head and saffron bands on his wrists. When he opened his eyes and saw Guile and the others, Logan saw that they had no pupils, much like Rolento's. The two speed demons figured this to be Dhalsim. "Guile, my friend," he said. "What brings you to my humble village?"

"Well, Dhalsim, the tournament brought me here along with some friends of mine. Three of them you won't recognize, but I'm sure you remember Ryu, Cammy, and Chun-Li." The Mystic Yogi looked at the crew and saw the three that Guile had mentioned. He also saw the other three looking around. He levitated off the ground and snuck up behind Yoruichi.

"Yoruichi Shihoin," he said, surprising her. He floated towards Logan who, unlike Yoruichi, could sense him coming. "Logan Washburn." The Assassin merely turned around and bowed respectfully. "There is no need for that, young Assassin. I was able to read your mind thanks to the power of Yoga." He then floated towards Abel, but was perplexed by him. "It seems I am unable to read you, young one," he said, shocking the ex-mercenary like he did the Flash Goddess.

"It could be because of my amnesia. My name is Abel, but that's as far as I can remember," he said.

"Even still, I would've been able to pick it up by now. Strange…" He rejoined Guile while the others looked around some more. "It seems to me that that Abel person is a bit—how you say—nutty."

"Trust me, even after working with him a few days, I still don't know him that well. Heck, Chun-Li knows him the best out of all of us and she's still confused about his behavior. As for Logan, I'm guessing that you've picked up on him pretty well."

"Yes. In fact, he's as Patriotic to your country as you are. He just hates politics and doesn't get along with Military or Police Forces very well, the exceptions being you, his mother, Chun-Li, and the St. Louis Police Chief. As for Yoruichi, she's an ex-Soul Reaper Captain who loves the free-going lifestyle. Need I say more?" Dhalsim asked.

"So that power works on Soul Reapers as well, huh?" asked Guile.

"Yes, Guile. Now I'm sure on your way in, you've noticed that the water has dried up. It didn't happen too long ago, but my people met these soldiers who are associated with Shadaloo. Those soldiers have blocked off our water supply and demanded that we side with them. We must open the dam and bring water back to the village."

"I'm with you on that." Logan's sensitive hearing picked up on the conversation, so he looked around for one of the people. He came across a young girl who was about 17 years old. She told him what she knew and the description surprised him. Guile saw him and Cammy approaching. "What's up guys? Did you find anything out?" Guile's question surprised Dhalsim, as he didn't know about Logan's hearing ability.

"You're not going to like this, but the Shadaloo agent in charge of the operation is Balrog," said the Assassin. This caused Dhalsim to frown since Balrog killed one of his elephants. "I ask that you let me take him on. I still have to find out more about Decapre before I can continue with Vega's request."

"You're not going to find out from him since he's dumber than a box of rocks. Balrog's easy, but if you want a challenge from him, face him in a boxing match. You do know how to box, right?"

"Are you kidding? I learned from Ted Grant. In fact, when I have some free time, I usually practice with him so I won't get rusty."

"Well that's good. You'll need it if you just want to box Balrog off the dam. If you want to get it over with, fight with your own style," advised Yoruichi.

"You're going to have to bring me along as well," said a voice. They all looked and saw a hulking figure walking up to them. Standing at 7'7", he was 5 inches shy of Hugo's height, but he still dwarfed Abel in size. He wore a denim vest, denim jeans, moccasin boots, battle paint on his face, and a headband with eagle feathers on it. He also wore iron bracers on his fists and thin steel rings on his biceps. Logan could tell he was of Native American heritage and that he was obviously participating in the tournament as well. He couldn't tell which tribe he was from though. "Sorry to interrupt, but I couldn't help but overhear that you were planning on taking your water back from Shadaloo. I normally don't like conflict, but as a tribesman to my own people, I wish to help bring water back to yours."

"I'm sorry, but I don't think we got your name," said Logan, making the Native American remember that he forgot to introduce himself.

"My apologies, but my name is Thunder Hawk and I come from the land of the Thunderfoot tribe in Mexico. My people have lost their land to Shadaloo and many have died trying to stop them, including my father Arroyo Hawk. Even my beloved Julia was captured and turned into one of his Dolls." Cammy gasped, causing Thunder Hawk to notice her. He saw that she was still a little afraid of him. He didn't hold the past against her, though, since she wasn't in control. "It is okay, Cammy. I'm not angry with you for driving out my people. Let me face you in a sparring match to prove it."

She looked at Logan, who had a smile on his face. He nodded, telling her to take up the challenge. "Very well, Thunder Hawk. I won't go easy, though," she said.

"As I'd hope you wouldn't. I won't hold back either."

The meeting had just ended with Ichigo being sent to Isshin to train and to catch up. Rukia was to train with Byakuya in the meantime. Standing outside of the building, Soifon was anxious to see the next fight that was going to happen. She kicked in the viewing Kido just as Momo joined her. "I'm glad to see you're doing alright, Momo," she said.

"Thanks, Captain Soifon. How's Logan doing?" Momo asked.

"I'm checking on that right now." She then saw the next fight had Logan as a spectator. It was Cammy against a really tall Native American. Kisuke walked by them, but the Squad Two Captain stopped him in his tracks. "Urahara, I need some info on this fighter. Please tell me you have some." Kisuke looked and saw who she was talking about.

"That right there is Thunder Hawk. He's a native to the Thunderfoot tribe in Mexico. Shadaloo drove them out of their land, killed his father and a few others and brainwashed Thunder Hawk's girlfriend Julia. She became the Doll known as Juli," explained the ex-Captain. "After she was freed from the influence, she got put in a near amnesiac state. She doesn't even seem to remember Thunder Hawk at all. However, memories do come back in time. Let's hope that's the case with her and she remembers him."

"Why?" asked Momo.

"So they can continue to live happily and Thunder Hawk can finally gain the atonement he seeks." The two girls were baffled as to what Kisuke meant by 'atonement'. Before they could ask anything else, though, he left.

"What does he mean by atonement?"

"I have no idea, but Thunder Hawk must've felt that he had done something horribly wrong. Of course, if I failed to bring Logan back after our land was razed and he was kidnapped and made an amnesiac, I'd feel guilty too," said Soifon, putting herself in Thunder Hawk's shoes and Logan in Julia's.

(World of the Living)

Thunder Hawk started the fight by jumping into the air and diving towards Cammy like an eagle. She dodged it, not wanting to be on the receiving end of any of his attacks since she knew how powerful he was. She turned around for an attack of her own. "Cannon Spike!" she exclaimed. The attack hit the Thunderfoot hard on the chin, causing him to stumble back. Before Cammy could do another attack, Thunder Hawk countered by grabbing her collar, jumping slightly into the air while spinning his arm once, then slamming it down.

Ryu could tell that Logan was analyzing the battle. "That is Thunder Hawk's 'Mexican Typhoon'. The higher he jumps and the more times he spins his arm, the more powerful the attack will be," the martial arts master explained, finally speaking up for the first time since they left Karakura Town.

"And what was that first attack?"

"That first attack was the 'Condor Dive'. It's his signature move, so you'll know he'll use it every time."

"Sounds to me like that makes him predictable."

"You'd be surprised at what he can do." During their observation/conversation, Cammy got a few more good hits in. Logan saw Thunder Hawk cross his arms like he was going to do another 'Condor Dive'. It was the same pose, but he flew horizontally, knocking Cammy down and shocking the Assassin, Yoruichi, and Abel at the same time. "You were saying?" Logan just shot a glare at him before returning his attention to the battlefield. It looked as if Cammy had gotten the wind knocked out of her.

"Are you alright, Cammy? I didn't mean to go that far," said Thunder Hawk.

"I see now that you mean your word, Thunder Hawk. But remember: the fight's not over until someone is down for the count," she said. "And as you can see, I'm still standing." Thunder Hawk nodded and did another 'Condor Spire', only to get caught up in the Brit's infamous 'CQC'. She knocked him down for the count with this one before wiping the blood from her lip. After helping Thunder Hawk up, Cammy limped over to her friends and was caught by Logan.

"Let's get you some rest. I can deal with Balrog," the 24-year-old said, making Cammy smile and nod. He kissed her lips and lied her down on a blanket that the people had set up.

"Do not worry, young one. She'll pull through," said Dhalsim, reassuring Logan.

"I know she will. Cammy's a tough one."

"In the meantime, take Thunder Hawk and myself with you. I wish to pay the murderer of one of my elephants a visit as well as help bring water back to my people."

(Soul Society)

Soifon and Momo saw Cammy's victory and were relieved at it. "It's a good thing she won. That Thunder Hawk is a tough one," said Soifon.

"I think I'd rather take a bear hug from an actual bear than this guy," Momo said, getting a laugh from Soifon.

"You haven't seen Hugo Andore. As both the heaviest and the tallest competitor in that tournament, he gave Abel quite a run for his money. It was a miracle Abel was even able to beat him. He stands at a whopping 8'. Thunder Hawk is only 7'7"." The stats still surprised Momo, who was still trying to process the whole thing.

"I still think I want to take a bear hug from an actual bear."

(World of the Living)

Dhalsim had shown them the way to the dam that was blocking up the river. After a while, they got there and saw some of the locals begging Balrog for their water back. They were all mad, but the most ticked off were Logan, Yoruichi, and Dhalsim. "Please, sir, give us back our water!" cried an old man.

"I might if you join up with Shadaloo!" Balrog shouted. He laughed at the villagers as they still held on to what pride they had left. All of a sudden, a blur came by and knocked Balrog off his feet. He looked and saw Logan standing there, angry with him for what he was doing to these people. "Hey, I remember you! Didn't your team beat me back in Japan?"

"No. That was Ryu. None of us had even gotten our chance," the Assassin said, tightening his gloves.

"Well now you'll get that chance! It'll be your last fight, kid! I'm going to grind your bones into dust!" Balrog started the fight with a right hook, but to Logan, it seemed like a haymaker. He blocked the punch and delivered an uppercut to Balrog's chin. This was followed by a series of punches to the gut. Logan finished off this combo with a 'Shoryuken'. "Okay, now you're making this interesting."

Balrog responded with his own chain of punches, but they were blocked by the Assassin. Chun-Li and Ryu were analyzing his style and became more impressed with him. "His boxing isn't perfect, but it shows the results of his training. This 'Ted Grant' guy is a good teacher," said the Interpol Officer.

"Ted Grant is actually a vigilante boxer, Chun-Li," said Guile. "His codename is 'Wildcat'."

"Isn't he the only member of the Justice League who doesn't have superpowers or gadgets?"

"That's right. Wildcat's getting up there in age, but he can still fight with the best of them. He mainly uses brawn over brain, but he's not as stupid as Balrog there." As they were talking, Balrog grabbed Logan by his shirt and smirked.

"I don't think your martial arts buddy will save you, kid. Any last words?" the boxer asked.

"Your elbow's bent," said Logan. Balrog looked and saw that it was, but before he could react, he got a quick cross from him. Logan proceeded to pummel him until he was dizzy. He held Balrog's chin up with his left fist and punched his face one more time with his right. Balrog was officially down for the count. He rejoined the others as Thunder Hawk and Dhalsim tried to break the dam. He and Ryu looked at each other and nodded. Ryu put his hands together and gathered the energy for a 'Shinku Hadoken'. Logan gathered his energy for a 'Chidori Blast'. After firing off both techniques, the dam was destroyed. They then turned to their comrades as the villagers cheered their water being brought back to them. "Okay, Guile, how did you figure out that Ted Grant and Wildcat were the same person?" Logan asked with a smirk.

Before Guile could respond, they heard a pained grunt. They turned around and saw that Balrog was killed. Logan looked and saw that it was Decapre. He chased after her, hoping to be able to talk to her, but she disappeared. Chun-Li saw him come back with a sad look on his face. "You just missed her, didn't you?" she asked.

"Yeah," he said. "I wonder when we'll be able to see her again."

"I don't know that, but I can tell you this: she killed him for a reason. Bison won't tolerate failure in any of his troops. It's amazing that he hasn't eliminated Balrog before now."

"That's a constant reminder of why we're in this tournament, Chun-Li. There's still some good in Decapre, I just know it. I simply have to talk to her and find out where it is."

Meanwhile, in Thailand, there was a small village there as well. In it was a man who was bald and wore an eye patch. His chest had a large scar on it and he wore blue shorts. His eye had no pupil on it as well. He wore bandages on his ankles and wrists. Right now, he was training for a special match he had been waiting on for a long time. All of a sudden, he heard a noise. "Who goes there?" he asked. I demand that you show yourself!"

Suddenly, he saw a figure step out of the shadows. It turned out to be Vega. "Hello there, Sagat. I have a message for you from Lord Bison," said the assailant. Sagat had a disgruntled look on his face, obviously not wanting anything to do with Shadaloo.

CHAPTER 15 END

Okay, so I'm finally bringing Sagat into this story after mentioning him way back in Chapter 2. I wonder if I should have him fight Ryu or Logan. It's your pick.

I also mentioned Wildcat because I have Logan under the DC Universe as well. If you recall right, I mentioned Green Arrow back in Chapter 5. There won't be any DC Comics characters in this story though.

So the team meets Thunder Hawk and Dhalsim before the former has a sparring match with Cammy. Afterwards, Logan defeats Balrog at his own game, but the ex-boxer is assassinated by Decapre, the Doll that Vega's having Logan help out. Now the question comes to mind, what does Bison want from Sagat? Stay tuned to find out.
