Love & War: The Black Moons
Chapter 2: In Conflict
In India, Dhalsim was talking to a policeman when Ryu approaches them.
"I need your help," said Ryu.
Dhalsim takes cue with Ryu's request.
"I will help you."
They begun their friendly sparring. Ryu's skills surpassed Dhalism's. After the battle, Ryu looks at his fist in contemplation.
"Your mind is completely calm in battle, but if you continue to suppress the Hado, you will be consumed by it. Once again, you need to face the Hado from within you," Dhalsim explained.
"Face it?" Ryu asked. He looks at his fist again. Suddenly, a long-haired warrior from Nash's nightmare jumped from a building right next to the policemen, who was struggling in fear. The warrior, Necalli, has a angry, threatening look and a dark liquid seeping into the ground from him.
"Who's that?" Ryu asks.
Dhalsim replied, "That's the.."
"Consume your soul...!
"Look out!" Dhalsim shouted.
Dhalsim teleported between the warrior and the cop. Ryu gets ready to fight. Necalli notices and says, "I am the jaws of death. The souls of warriors must return to me!"
With a shout, Necalli liberates his power. His hair grows wild and float emitting a red glow. He fights Ryu. Clearly this power was something Ryu was not prepared for and was defeated, but not giving up. He gets thrown rolling to the ground and sees Necalli menacingly moving towards him. Ryu stands up,ready to keep fighting, but this serves as a opening of the Satsui no Hado, and he dark power within Ryu bursts forth. Dhalsim was tending to the policeman when he notices the upcoming clash between Ryu and Necalli. He quickly teleported between them, taking Ryu's punch.
"DHALSIM!"
"Do not let the Satsui no Hado take you over," Dhalsim groaned in pain.
While it is quite clear Necalli's power are beyond human comprehension, Dhalsim's mastery of Yoga allowed to better neutralize the threat. Afterward, Ryu notices something in the sky, covering the sun like a solar eclipse, but upon close inspection, it was a spherical satellite.
"What's that?" asked Ryu.
Necalli hen shouts a ancient word skyward as the satellite completely covers the sun. Necalli looks at Ryu one last time before dissolving into the dark liquid.
Dhalsim explained, "Long ago, I was told about a ancient being who consumes warrior souls. This ancient being, only appears at a time when many warriors are needed. That is, when the world is in a great time of crisis."
Ryu continues to look at the eclipsed sun.
"The world is in crisis..."
CW2K: In the next chapter, I said in the intro about a special guest, who happens to see these so-called satellites around Earth from space. Who is it?
