Love & War: The Black Moons

Chapter 44: King of Shadows

In the underground control room, M. Bison is above the pod where the little Chinese girl is. F.A.N.G is beside himself with joy.

"Operation C.H.A.I.N.S. is a complete success! The Black Moons will fall onto every city, and the world will become a whirlwind of chaos. Mankind will tremble in fear and despair, and the world will be in flames! The negative energy from all around the world will nourish Lord Bison! Yes! The world will be...

CW2K: SHUT THE FUCK UP, YOU STUPID WIZARD WANNA-BE MOTHERFUCKER! (sigh) I am so sorry.

"I'm beyond that," said Bison.

"Then I'll finish you here!"

That was Charlie Nash from the vantage point high above the room. He jumps down and attacks Bison with a Sonic Hurricane, but Bison didn't even flinch. Nash tried to use all his power, but Bison just swats him away without turning around, launching him down to the floor where Nash manages to land on three points. Bison floats to see if the man he saw die years ago made it back to the pearly gates.

"Well, I never expected that your lost soul would stumble its way back to me."

"I will... kill you."

"It looks like you want to die."

Nash battles Bison. Wielding a power beyond any mortal comprehension, along with his drive for revenge, Nash tries everything he had, but Bison is also greatly strengthened by the influence of the Black Moons and makes this fight look easy. This, compounded with the fact that Nash should've saved the attack from earlier, contributes to this loss at the hands of the dictator.

"Not yet!"

Nash charged at him, but Bison raised a force field to repel him.

"Idiot! Do you think the fist of someone like you, whose life has already expired, can even reach me?"

With a blast of Psycho Power, Nash is launched away. Meanwhile, a dark liquid starts to drip near Bison, followed by a primal roar. It's Necalli!

"That power..."

Nash retreated for now.

"I've been waiting for you," said Bison. He also says to F.A.N.G, "Everything is going according to plan."

He battles Necalli. He should be more than a match for Bison, but the dictator's power far transcends any known limits and narrowly defeats him. Necalli rose to his feet and and makes a large leap into the shadows. Bison was most impressed.
