Finally updated on 2/7/04!


CMK Tactican: Sorry, but this story isn't entirely based on the true storyline ^_^ I know yours is very strictly on the sf line, I read The Way of the Warrior. But I really made a lot of alters to the actual story, just to make my own story that has its own meaning… just to put in more excitement ;) You'll be seeing more of Dan and Blanka later on.

[ S t r e e t F i g h t e r A l p h a (2) ( P a r t 2 ) ]

[*, Thailand]

Sodom began following around Thailand, looking for his victim, Guy. His journey was too much wasted, but he was slowly approaching his destiny. In the middle of his long tour throughout Thailand, he had actually had the chance to warm up his muscles. However, the loss was his own. The man was a sumo wrestler, and a quite powerful one. Sodom continued his belief that this time, he would be able to crush Guy for sure and accomplish his dream of reuniting the Mad Gear.

Through detecting Guy at last, Sodom's labor of walking each day had nearly paid off…

He found Guy just at the place he suspected him to be: near Shadaloo's base of Thailand. The base was incredibly hidden, and Sodom didn't discover it a base until he saw Guy finally ticking the secret of opening an underground tunnel under an iron-made industrial building.

He watched Guy hop inside, and decided to follow him instead of attacking him just now… he wanted to know himself why Shadaloo was so famous in the world. Who is this Vega person?

[Hong Kong, China]

"I will still give you the chance to surrender yourself, Vega!" Chunli advised in a loud voice.

They were standing, face-to-face, on the roof of the building , ready to battle there. Vega's jet had been landed right next to him, while he stood, smirking widely, next to it.

"You think I'd do that?" Vega said with a really annoying smirk. "Once my design of my masterpiece… the Psycho Drive… is completed, there will be no one to even threaten me like you….NO ONE.."

"The Psycho Drive, eh?" Chunli repeated. "Well, I don't care what you're planning, but you will reach the end of your line, Vega!"

"You fool, you think that with all these countries against the threat of Shadaloo makes any difference to me?" Vega said calmly, "They have nothing to fight against me! These fools….with the power of destruction…..military equipment, bombs, guns, NOTHING—can stop me! Psycho Power, is invincible!"

"You're wrong there, Vega!" Chunli said determinedly, "And I'll prove it!"

Chunli began to give the soldiers behind her a 'fire' signal. All the soldiers perfected their aim upon Vega and his jet, and began to shoot with all kinds of bullets and cartridges. Vega easily faded away from the spot and appeared where the guns weren't aiming. The soldiers lowered their guns to see with large, astonished eyes, at Vega's power.

"See what I mean?" Vega said, hoping to see them thunderstruck.

"You're pathetic!" Chunli said angrily, taking off her coat, and revealing an odd, rather exposing fighting suit. "I will take you on by myself!"

Chunli dashed towards him. He faded before she could even attack, and faded behinds her.

"BOO!" He shouted, smirking irritatingly. Chunli fearlessly kicked across him but he faded once again.

"Grr!! What is this power? It certainly isn't speed."

"It's not!" Vega claimed, unfading at the front of his plane. "Psycho Power is the answer."

"Fool," Chunli said through gritted teeth, "I'll still beat you!"

And suddenly… a thought came to her mind.

Gen Dan Satsushu, Chunli… it will come handy to you someday…

Chunli nodded to herself, and slowly walked a way towards Vega, ready to strike.

"Hmph, fine then," Vega said, "Face the power you fear."

Chunli sprinted towards him, leapt on her hands, and began swinging her legs around, lifting off the ground.

That move.., Vega thought… but before he could come up with another tick, his henchman came up to him. He faded to another place before Chunli could harm him.

"Scared, Vega?" Chunli said, half angry and half smirking.

The henchman whispered something to Vega. He nodded and looked back to Chunli, smirking.

"Perhaps another day, I'll have the opportunity to kill you just like I killed your father—ooo did I mention your father?"

Vega faded in his jet and lifted off before Chunli could respond. For a minute, things seemed too silent to be real.

… and then, an enraged, deafening screech vibrated the streets of Hong Kong.

…

"What the hell was that, yo?"

"Don't know."

"Cut! Hu-hu! Feilong, you were still in action!"

"Sorry,… just couldn't ignore that noise."

"That was something, all right… You can't blame him."

[Hidden Shadaloo Base, Thailand]

A blue flash merged in the pitch-dark chamber. The scientists blinked, unsurprised, and bowed royally to the flash. Vega had just faded into his base.

"Welcome back, sir."

"Had a nice flight?"

"Yes, indeed I did," Vega replied to his workers with a smirk, "Let the jet in. Gate five."

"Yes," a scientist pressed a switch and typed something into the operator.

"I just received message that a red-clothed man has preceded the base?" Vega asked for confirm.

"Ah… yes sir," the scientist said, "but he hasn't done any harm yet. I do not think he can find his way here. He's been taking random passages that are leading him to nowhere."

"Heh…heh…. Pathetic how he could find our base and not find his way here."

"Indeed it is!"

"Open the maze."

"Are you sure that is a good idea, sir?"

A flash of red light shot across the room, carrying a scientist with it. The light crashed angrily in a metal wall, so powerfully that the metal melted easily. This was apparently pointed out by the steam rising from the now burnt-out, dead scientist.

"Ignorance to commands is unwanted," Vega said thoughtfully. "Open the maze up, and let this man find his way here easily."

"Y-yes, sir," another scientist who was operating a computer answered. He pressed a switch and a mechanical sound was heard, that of something really, really heavy rising in the air, fighting gravity at its max.

Five minutes later…

"Sir, the man has arrived," a scientist pointed to his computer screen, which was visualizing the view of a camera, showing Guy walking straight on the route that led to the chamber.

"Ah, yes…," Vega smirked wider than before. "Welcome, welcome, mister… Guy. I've been trying to ignore you the whole while, but unfortunately… with a little piece of crap behind my back, following me everywhere I went… it was like burden on my brain…. Yes…yes…"

"Glad you even mentioned you have a brain," Guy said. "Let us get to business, shall we?"

[Sodom's View]

Sodom attached his ear to the dark wall and listened… listened very, very closely. He could hardly tell who was talking… but he could remember Guy's voice only. It was difficult to hear, but he could hear it clearly as possible.

"…while, but unfortunately… with a little piece of crap behind my back, following me everywhere I went… it was like burden on my brain…"

"…you have a brain…
business, shall we?"

…

"… you idiot…I didn't associate
… neither command…
all that racket in Metro City…
…I only control Shadaloo, not Mad Gear."

"… you met Rolento?"

"…Mad Gear, but … did he tell you my whereabouts?"

Although he could hear somewhat, he couldn't make sense out of it. He waited, waited for a long while… but nothing seemed to be happening. Guy and that person—Vega—were going to talk forever if he just stood there.

But no, something did happen. After a while, a crash was heard. Sodom pressed his ears strongly at the wall, trying to listen as hard as he could… he could hear the wind swinging of fists, and several hard blows. The fight had started.

But Sodom couldn't hear the hits for long. He MUST watch the fight. He looked around, but everything was well dark and hidden.

"Damnit… there must be a view around here somewhere. I must know for myself what Shadaloo is."

Sodom raised his arms in front of him and walked around. After a while, his arms hit a wall. He looked around, and saw light shining at him.

"That must be it!"

"Hey, you!"

Sodom looked closely towards the light. A group of tall, muscular men stood there. Sodom sprinted towards the light and passed by the men rapidly, turning around and braking.

"Hm… a Japanese samurai, I see," one of the men said.

"More like a wanna-be, you know," another man said, and everyone broke into loud laughters.

Sodom drew the claws in his hands. "Tell me where Vega and Guy are."

"Vega and Guy? Sorry, master Vega is busy. We'll be glad to give you company, though," a man in a black suit replied.

[30 seconds later]

"Argggh… ooh… you… take… the hall to the left… and there should be a balcony there that you can see down to the main chamber," the man in the black suit groaned. Sodom smirked at the defeated men, withdrawing his bloody claws, and sprinted down the passage.

He took three sets of small stairs, and easily reached the balcony that the previous man had been talking about. The crashes now heard louder. Sodom looked down to the two men fighting. Guy had already been bleeding from the nose and the left leg, which slowed down his speed now. Vega, on the other hand, was easily fading to random places, sneaking up on Guy and fisting or scratching him.

In no time, a blood-showered Guy collapsed onto the iron ground, as a smirking Vega faded next to him, landing his feet on the ground.

"Y-you… bastard..," Guy screeched angrily, unable to get up. Sodom watched carefully as Vega grasped Guy from the neck.

"Rolento did tell you about this place, right?" Vega said, smirking angrily, "I will take care of him. As for now, I have time to strangle another rat."

Vega choked Guy harder. Sodom placed his hands on the banister and looked down very attentively as he observed Vega. Vega's eyes seemed to be turning somewhat blue… what was this power? How could a man disappear and appear at a different place? It was, of course, not speed. This was some dangerous power that is evil itself.

After a long while, Vega loosened his hand and let go his grasp on Guy's neck. Amazingly, Guy seemed to be still living… but in bad shape.

"That is a good spirit, I haven't strangled someone this long without seeing him die," Vega said proudly. "I might as well absorb your power and store it in my psycho drive!!!"

Vega laughed deafeningly… very loudly. His eyes turned madly blue. After a minute, still laughing, Vega positioned his hand on Guy's head, and the hand turned psychic blue. A blue aura surrounded both of them, but it was Guy that was screaming with pain, as Vega laughed.

So… this is Vega, Sodom thought worriedly. The leader of Shadaloo, who possesses a lethal power.

Seeing Guy losing like that seemed to somewhat annoy Sodom. Why was he being annoyed?

"You… die… now!" Vega howled, still absorbing tremendous amount of energy from Guy.

"……STOP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

The blue aura around Vega and Guy vanished. Vega's blue eyes returned to normal. He looked up at the balcony, and stared at Sodom.

"Hm…. And you are?" Vega asked, turning his stare into a glare.

Sodom leaped off from the balcony, drawing his claws and aiming for Vega, whom faded just in time a distant away from both of them.

"You bastard… you interrupted my energy transfer," Vega shrieked, looking enraged.

"The time has come that I must side with my former enemy," Sodom announced. "In all the clocks' witness, I've never cared about good or evil. I joined the Mad Gear not for money, not for power, but for becoming an experienced samurai. I never cared about all the drugs that the Mad Gear dealed with, or all bank robberies they ticked. I only sided with them because I wanted to become powerful… after Guy, Cody, and the mayor destroyed the Mad Gear, I still wanted to stay in. I remembered Guy in his fleeting speed, with his style for justice. I ask Rolento where Guy is, and follow Guy all the way here… only because I wanted to battle him, more like an enemy like he always was to me. But I really did it for the battling experience... to become one more step towards becoming invincible. However, now… I've realized the stream between good and evil. I always thought that people aren't naturally evil… but you… you're just pure evil, and that's only because of that power you possess."

"Hehh… heh…" Vega began from small sniggers to loud, thrilling laughs. Strangely, he didn't quiet down.

"Sodom, you?" Guy asked, lying on the floor, while Vega was still laughing louder than ever.

"Don't think I'm here to save your neck," Sodom said angrily, "this is just my own sense of justice."

"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!!!!" electricity sparkled around the room, as Vega roared with laughter. The sparks surrounded him, piling up in his large palm.

"Sodom, be careful!" Guy warned. "He's making a—"

"—fireball, I know…. I've gone through this before."

The electrical energy endlessly collected in Vega's enormous hand…. It was even being compressed, so that more space could be made for the dynamic energy. Vega still laughed, his eyes turning blue once again… The computers that were being operated by the scientists exploded… which apparently made no difference to Vega. Sodom created a stance with his claws, making a cross with them in front of his face.

"PREPARE…… TO DIE!"

Vega unleashed the energy. All that could be seen was a giant flash.
