Once again, Chris is called into action to learn of the satellites' purpose, but later gains help from a unexpected source.

Chapter 48: The Power of the Dead

At the S-F base, the parties assembled to raid the Shadaloo base have reconvened.

"We came back here for now to regroup," Karin told everybody. "But we will go back to the base as soon as we rethink our strategy."

"We're going back to our own hideout now," said Rashid. "It seems that Helen has some new information."

Just then, Abel showed up, roaring with rage. He threw Nash and Guile into the interrogation room. He was still giving off Psycho Power. The two USAF officers tackle him, but Abel used sheer brute force to throw them on their backs. Guile recovered for another go.

"No more!"

He tosses a Sonic Boom at Abel, but he tanks it. Guile tackles him again.

"Charlie!"

On cue, Nash palced his hand on Abel's forehead and the gemstone on his forehead glues blue and start draining the Psycho Power from Abel. However, Nash feels there was too much within the French fighter.

"Not yet."

Just then, Chris and Samus returned to the interrogation room to witness Charlie draining the Psycho Power from Abel, who stopped resisting and lands on all fours.

"Incredible," said Samus.

Chun-Li tends to Abel as Jade and Tanya tend to Chris and Samus.

"You ok?" Chun-Li asked.

"Oui (Yes)"

Abel turns to Nash. "You're the one who stopped my madness. Merci Beaucomp (Thank you very much)."

Not a man of words, Nash turns to leave.

"Charlie. You forgot this." Guile throws something at him. Nash caught it. It was his dog tags, something Guile kept with him for years. Nash acknowledges this and leaves, with Rashid and Azam behind. Abel wondered something about Nash. Was this the man that saved his life years ago?
