The stage was set for the battle between Cammy and Caius. Although he was worn out from those 10 days of survival, there was no other way. He needed to stand up against Cammy, even if the odds were against him.
At the same time, Wolfman ordered the rest of the team to gather to a higher spot from the ground, in order to watch the fight. He didn't want anyone to interrupt them.

"Well then, have at you, Caius!" Cammy shouted and he rushed towards him.
"Damn... That's unfair. What Colonel Wolfman is thinking? " he said to himself.
Cammy was closing in really quick. She is extremely fast; he couldn't do much in his current state. The only wise thing for now was to defend himself, until he could find an opening at Cammy's offense.
"OK, relax and everything's gonna be OK, just focus on defending for a while... But... Every time I fought with Cammy, my right eye was feeling a bit of... odd somehow... Same as now. What the hell is going on...?"
Cammy was only a breath away from his position and she started landing a couple of kicks on him. Caius managed to block and avoid many of her kicks. Cammy knew that he was no push-over, so she was careful around him, even in his forsaken state.
"She's really fast... I wonder what she could do if M. Bison was still controlling her with his Psycho Drive... Ha, I don't wanna know..!" he said to himself, while avoiding everything she was throwing at him.
Cammy stopped her offensive strikes and she moved away from him.
"Well, you can still keep up with me, that's impressive. But the question is "for how long?" she said to him.
"One way to find out. Just keep on attacking and we'll see!" he said back.
"As you wish..!" Cammy said and she rushed again toward him.
"Rushing again in front of me? You' re easy to read, Captain!" he said to himself.
But, at his surprise, Cammy stopped instantly and she executed a Spiral Arrow.
"WHAT THE...?" Caius shouted, but it was too late. He lost his balance due to the low hit and just before he was ready to hit the ground, Cammy grabbed him and threw him hard on the ground.
"You weren't expecting that, didn't you, Caius?"
"Arghhh... That was cunning... And... that again. My eye's playing tricks on me... Every time she executes a special move... Wait... What's going on?" he thought and he was really skeptical and this situation...
"What's wrong? Lost your will to fight?" Cammy said to him.
"Me? Never! You're underestimating me..!"
"Ah very nice, I'll just continue my pressure upon you!" Cammy said and she executed her Hooligan Combination (Frankensteiner). She grabbed Caius's head with her well exercised legs and she threw him again on the ground.
"You must enjoy being thrown down! You need to expect the unexpected, Caius!"
Caius stood up from the ground. Meanwhile, he experienced the same issues within his right eye...
"OK, enough with those grabs already... And don't you think that..."
He couldn't finish his sentence. Cammy jumped towards him.
"Cannon Strike!"
"No, not that again... That's really easy to read, you've done it on me a couple of times!" he said and he dodge the attack easily.
Then, something happened: A flash came out from his right eye... It wasn't ordinary. Cammy stopped and she and the rest of team watched as Caius's struggled to maintain his senses.
"What's going on? What's this flash all about?" Lita said to the Colonel.
"I don't know... But we'll found out soon enough." he said ta to Lita.
The flash ceased and Caius was breathing somehow hard and he stood on his feet.
"What in the world happened? Are you OK?" Cammy said to him.
"I'm fine... It's OK... Well... Do you remember? You asked me if those guys gave me something... I think that I found out...!
"What's that? Tell us!" Cammy said with an aggressive passion.
"I just want to..."
Caius stopped talking and he jumped in front of Cammy. She couldn't do anything but to watch.
"So, is this your CANNON STRIKE?"
Cammy stared at him, watching a mirror version of her CS executed in front of her beautiful, big blue eyes. She snapped out of it and she managed to avoid the hit. Wolfman and the team were left speechless.
"Sir, that was Cammy's CS! He can copy her moves!"
"So it seems... Anyway, I think it's time to stop the fight. He fought really well. And we'll see about this ability of his."
The team needed some answers after that...
