Lei Wulong sat in his office, feet on top of the desk reading and checking over his finished report. Lei moved his free hand and moaned.

"Oww, this headache just isn't going to quit I guess." Lei grabbed a zip lock bag and headed for the fridge. Lei though back on the events that were currently causing his grief in the form of a pounding headache, a late night raid with only his rookie partner Brandon to back him up. After fifteen minutes of fighting Kazuya gang members, and saving Brandon from some narrow escapes, Lei and Brandon corner the leader.

"End of the line, Wu!" Lei had called out. At that instant Brandon tripped over some hardware equipment, causing a massive slab of sheetrock to crash on top of Lei's head. Brandon told him later in the ambulance that Lei looked like a cartoon character when the Slab nearly crushed his body. Lei chuckled as he passed out again.

"Detective Wulong, your ass in my office, NOW!" Lei sighed at the Chiefs screaming knowing that the headache he had now was nothing compared to what he was going to experience next. Lei took another look at his desk, noticing the picture of him and Steve Fox, remembering the strange case in which he helped Steve find his mother. "I wonder what Steve is up to?" Lei though to himself, as he stepped into his bosses office, placing the fresh bag of ice on his head.

"You called Chief," Lei said calmly as the Chief turned around, his face as red as a tomato. He threw down a newspaper and slammed his fist on his desk. "Three months, thousands in property damage and you still lost Wu! Do you know how far back this is going to send us?" Lei looked at the front page, a picture of him being put into an ambulance, the headline made his stomach turn.

Hong Kong Super Cop has found his

Kryptonite!

"Chief" Lei said throwing the newspaper to the side "Wu's drug shipping process was halted; a lot of his head men were arrested, not to mention his right hand man…" The Chief sighed as he sat down. "I'm sorry Lei something has come up. I have to take you off the Wu case." Lei's eyes shot wide open. "What!?" He dropped the bag of ice and slammed his fist on the desk. "I know what Wu's next move is, Chief please I have him we can get him tonight! Maybe sooner!"

The Chief opened a drawer pulling out a file. "I'm sorry Lei but this case I'm about to give you is more important than Wu." He handed Lei the file. "It seems that our friend Heihachi Mishima is up to something again. I'm sure you heard of the large company that just went bankrupt in the U.S." Lei looked at the files contents, pictures of Heihachi signing papers and shaking hands with officials, and the familiar yet strange symbol of a red and white octagon.

"Heihachi signed contracts with them and garnered a lot of respect for taking these people and giving them work. However, what people didn't see was that he collected a lot of military power as well." The phone suddenly rang and the Chief picked it up. Lei continued to look at the case file, a large pharmaceuticals company was connected to a series of bizarre events, on event had caused the destruction of an entire city. "Yes…ok send her in" The Chief said into the phone.

Lei dropped the file onto the desk "Oh no, I wont take this case if I have to baby-sit another rookie, Brandon is a good guy and all, but they are still too green. If you want me to be effective then you gotta let me do this case my way!"

The Chief chuckled "Lei your partner's an Interpol Detective from a different district." Chief waved his hand as Lei clutched his hand. "Plus, part of this detective's job is to keep your ass out of trouble." Lei closed his eyes, his blood boiling. "With all due respect Chief, I bet I can bet this guy."

"Oh really, I guess that's a challenge" said a voice. Lei started turning around "Listen you have no say in this conversa…" Lei stopped dead in his tracks as he laid eyes on the beautiful woman standing at the door.

"Ah… I, I, I am Lei Wulong." Lei looked up and down at the woman, wearing business clothes and her hair wrapped in a bun. She gave a simple smile, which made Lei feel weaker than any punch or kick. Lei was speechless to say the least.

"Lei," the Chief said extending his arm "this is detective Chun Li she will be helping us on the Heihachi case" The chief turned to Lei and smiled. "You will be assisting her, so try your best not to screw this up!" Lei shook his head, still not saying a word; he quickly stood up straight and tried his best not to stare at the beautiful detective before him. Chun Li smiled as she folded her hands and bowed respectfully to Lei.

"Well Mr. Wulong I…" Lei quickly stopped her waving his hands in front of her. "Please, just call me Lei, we are going to be partners of course!" Chun Li giggled and moved over next to Lei grabbing the case file.

"This is my first day here," she said as she grabbed Lei's arm. Lei jumped up not expected her to be physical that quickly. Lei blushed as Chun Li smiled. "This is my first day here," she said as she grabbed Lei's arm. "Why don't you show me around a bit?" Lei jumped up again, this time knocking over the Chiefs favorite coffee mug. Lei hesitated to move, and then slowly looked over his shoulder. He saw the mug its handle broken, then the Chief, whose face was once again red and steaming.

Lei laughed and began to run out the office dragging Chun Li with him. "I know a great restaurant we'll go their!" Lei ran out of the police station with the chief close behind. "Something tells me today is not going to be normal at all."

"Concentrate, focus it all."

The sun shined down in between the leaves in the middle of the thick forest, a young man in a white gi and red headband practiced his style.

"All energy is drawn from my center, my stomach. Let it flow up from my naval to my chest and out equally through each arm."

The young warrior positioned himself to attack the large boulder in front of him. For some reason it had made him feel uneasy. He started to spread his arms apart as a small blue ball of energy appear in his hand.

"Focus…focus and put all you have into this move."

The blue sphere began to grow, sparks emitting from his wrist and arms. He looked directly at the rock, focus every emotion he felt into his arms.

"Wait…wait for it…NOW!"

Suddenly the blue sphere doubled in size, becoming as big as a bowling ball. He leveled his body, feet digging into the ground.

"Ready, Shinkuu Hadouken!!!" The man extended both arms pointed his palms at the rock. A Stream of blue energy flowed outward and hit the boulder. The rock evaporated all of the dirt and soil disappeared into nothingness. The young man wiped the sweat from his forehead, staring at the spot the boulder had once been.

"Ken wait till I show you how much stronger I've gotten." He stepped over to his bag when something caught the corner of his eye. The young man scratches his short brown hair as he approached a small red stone on the ground. "Strange, I completely destroyed it, why is this stone still here?" The young warrior reached down to pick it up.

"Ryu!"

The Man jumped up. "Who's out there," he said scanning the area around him. "Show yourself!" In the distance birds chirped along with the trees whispering in the wind. Silence was the only response Ryu received. He looked back down at the ground to the small stone. Ryu reached out to the stone and picked it up. It was cold despite the fact it was just hit by his Hadouken. Ryu gazed intensely into the stone, feeling uneasy yet curious at the same time. He felt the same way like when he fight Sagat near defeat, his body was over come with the Dark Hadou the Evil Intent. He struck Sagat and left a scar across his chest winning the match.

"Hey you, warrior!" Ryu spun around slipping the stone into his glove. He looked at the man before him wearing red samurai armor, long hair tied behind him. The Samurai pulled out his sword and pointed it at Ryu. "You, Warrior, where the hell am I?" Ryu looked around and shrugged his shoulders. "To be honest with you, I'm not to sure myself."

The Samurai tripped in disbelief, and then quickly regained his composure. "How can you kidnap me and not know where you are?" Ryu was taken back and began to sweat nervously. "Wait, I didn't kidnap you! Don't you think I would have tied you up or something." The man stood up proudly pointing his sword to the sky.

"The great samurai Mitsurugi can never be held down. Besides I only said you kidnapped me, not that you were good at it." Mitsurugi got into a fighting stance pointing his sword at Ryu next to his head. Ryu walked over to his bag and pulled out two specially made gloves with metal padding to resist sharp edges and strong attacks.

"If I am to fight him I better defeat him quickly. These gloves will protect the attacks from his sword, but if I use them too long I'll tire myself out. And if that happens I won't be fast enough to parry his attacks." Ryu thought to himself. He put on the gloves and adjusted his clothing. "I did not kidnap you Mitsurugi." Ryu looked directly at his opponent. "But I will fight you."

"I'll believe you," said Mitsurugi as he tighten his grip on his sword "if you can defeat me." Ryu got into fighting stance as Mitsurugi moved closer to him. "Where is your weapon?" Mitsurugi ask. Ryu kept his guard up "My body, mind and technique will serve me just fine."

Mitsurugi smiled "If you manage to defeat me, you will have earned my respect." Ryu smiled "Very well," he said tightening his red headband "for giving me an opportunity to test my skills, you have already earned mine."

They stood apart and waited, both of them staring each other down as everything came into extreme focus. A small green leaf floated towards the ground, slowly making its way down to earth, and then making its territory known.

The leaf touched ground.

"Begin!" cried Mitsurugi as he and Ryu charged into one another.

Soul Edge began to glow red once again.
