Love & War: The Black Moons

Chapter 63: The Cosmic Elevator

Chun-Li and the girls witnessed Chris' sudden disappearance.

"Chris?" Tanya looked around.

"Where is he?" Asked Jade.

"Bison is gone, too. Perhaps for the final battle."

Jade looked at Chun-Li with worry. Her husband is facing a madman whose worse than Shao Kahn. Compared to the two, Bison seemed more dangerous than before. Jade prayed to the Elder Gods that he survives.

"Let's go, Jade."

Her and Tanya were now on their way out of the base.

Meanwhile, Chris and Bison appeared inside some kind of elevator.

"What is this place?" Chris asked.

"Welcome to the Cosmic Elevator!"

The Cosmic Elevator is a space elevator with several monitors and panels showing technical information of the elevator and outer space. In appeared in Street Fighter X Tekken and Ultra Street Fighter 4. It is found in South America, the same place as the Inland Jungle within the Brazilian rainforest.

"A weak soldier such as yourself. You cannot stand against my Psycho Power!"

"I wouldn't go as far as crediting yourself, Bison. The Black Moons have stopped. And now, since this is elevator that descends into space, I will finish here and now!"

"Impudent child! Your death will come quickly." Bison goes into his stance.

"I have already been killed once. Behold the result. I have no reason to fear you. FIGHT!"

Nash is gone, so now it's up to Chris to defeat Bison. The battle starts with Bison charging towards Chris, but Chris countered it with a flying knee to the jaw. Bison and Chris traded blow after blow with each other. Neither one of them were able to score an advantage. If the Shao Kahn battles were bad enough, it seemed that Chris was once again in the fight of his life. He already died by Quan Chi's hand, but his resurrection as a revenant gave him a second chance, even though he was under the sorcerer's influence for a short period of time before he was defeated by Tanya and cleansed by Queen Sindel. Because of this, he redeemed himself by allowing Tanya, Jade, Kitana, Mileena, Skarlet and Li Mei to finish Shao Kahn. A few minutes into the battle, the elevator began going up. Still, neither found an opening as the battle intensified. Chris finally found an opening and struck Bison in the chest.

"Nice shot, boy."

Bison struck Chris with his Psycho Crusher. Reeling from the attack, Chris recovered. The elevator was moving at high speed to the point where it eventually left Earth. Now they are in space. The fight continued when Bison grappled Chris and tried to inject him with Psycho Power, but Chris saw what happened to Nash and quickly headbutted Bison hard enough to be released.

Back on Earth, Samus appeared in front of the girls.

"Samus..." Jade called her name.

"Come with me!"

Jade and Tanya went with Samus to outer space. They see the Cosmic Elevator where the battle is taking place.

"What is that?" asked Tanya.

"This is the Cosmic Elevator. This is where Chris and Bison are dueling."

"Oh my god..."

Samus' gunship is facing directly at the elevator a few hundred yards away. Chris was taken down by Bison, who once again tried to inject Psycho Power into him. He then sees Samus' gunship, assuming Jade and Tanya. His assumption was correct. His wife and best friend are watching him in peril. It was enough to motivate him to find the strength to break free again. The battle continues. More blows are traded as Bison tried to use his Scissor Kick, but Chris saw his mistake and countered him in a Powerbomb clutch, slamming him down as hard as he could, and then added a Flapjack move to go with it, slamming Bison's face into the ground. Bison recovered. Probably for the first time, he underestimated Chris' power, but even so, he made one last attempt at using Psycho Power to kill Chris, but Chris quickly tossed his survival knife at him. It caught Bison in the chest. Then Chris finishes the fight with a powerful uppercut, sending him into the air. Bison fell down hard. The girls were seeing the outcome of the fight. Unfortunately, the elevator started going down back to Earth...
