Fist of the North Star x Street Fighter 2
The Pursuit of the Dark Hadou
A search by Guile, Chun-Li, and Cammy reveals a terrying discovery; S.I.N., the weapons division of Shadaloo, that has been targetting numerous fighters around the world has its sights set on Ryu's Dark Hadou and Kenshiro's Hokuto Shinken. The combination of both abilities would spell doom for the world unless S.I.N. is stopped. Meanwhile, Mamiya's village was attacked once again by Vega, who fled from a confrontation with Rei but not before revealing his possible involvement with Rei's old rival Yuda. What could this mean?
Somewhere else, not too far from Mamiya's village, in a large tower resides numerous female slaves, serving a man with long red hair. He stands looking outside of the tower. He then turns around to his female servants and says "Tell me, am I beautiful?"
"Yes, Lord Yuda." said the servants. "You are indeed beautiful."
"That's right! I am the strongest and most beautiful man in the world!"
A man in a red military suit appears in front of Yuda in the blink of an eye.
"Ah, Dagari." said Yuda. "Is there any progress?"
"Yes." said Dagari. "It seems that it worked twice, just as we expected."
"Very good. What about Ken-Oh? Has he returned to his throne yet?"
"Not yet but many of his men are still around, though I suppose they won't be of much trouble."
"Then we will make our next move. I'm honored that Shadoloo has provided us with this opportunity. All they have to do now is continue to do our work for us." He then laughs evilly.
Rei and Airi explain to their friends (Kenshiro, Bart, Lynn, Toki, and Mamiya) about Vega's attack on Airi, hours after the said incident.
"That crazy psycho attacked us again?! Grr…!" said Bart.
"So they have indeed learned of our location after all." said Toki. "At this point, we can't leave ourselves open."
"What strikes me as a surprise was when he mentioned Yuda, a name that I haven't heard in a long time." said Rei.
The name caused a strange reaction from Mamiya. Kenshiro notices the reaction and whispers "What's wrong, Mamiya?"
"I'd…rather not talk about it." said Mamiya.
"If what you say is true, then it seems like Vega has joined forces with Yuda." said Toki.
"But how?" said Lin. "I thought that…you stopped that man. Why won't they quit?"
In his thoughts, Kenshiro begins to ask one thing; could Bison still be alive?
At that moment, Guile, Chun-Li, and Cammy pull up in a car. "Don't worry guys. It's only us again." said Guile as they all got out.
"Hey, it's Guile!" said Bart. "And that chick with the big legs!"
Annoyed at the description of legs, Chun-Li sighs and says "Look, my name is Chun-Li, okay? That's all you need to call me from now on."
"It doesn't seem too bad around here." said Cammy. "So we must have made it here just in time."
"Hey, isn't that the same woman that Mamiya fought at the tournament?" asked Bart. "She's working with you guys now?"
"Yeah." said Guile. "She's definitely helpful against what we're dealing with here."
With her match with Cammy now on her mind, Mamiya walks up to Cammy. Although at first being at a lost for words, she finally says "It was…just a tournament. No hard feelings, right?"
Cammy just simply folds her arms and looks away saying "Like you said, it was just a tournament. So what? Just don't think it'll be the same on the real battlefield".
"Enough about that." said Guile. "We got something big on our hands here, people. You might be in danger Kenshiro."
"'In danger'?" asked Kenshiro.
"What do you mean by that?" asked Bart.
"He means that Kenshiro is being targeted by someone." said Chun-Li. "An organization called S.I.N. They operate under Shadaloo."
"Shadaloo?" said Rei. "Damn it! So they are still around!"
"It doesn't seem like Bison is behind this, though" said Cammy.
"Yeah because you guys took him down last time, right?" said Bart.
"Yes." Kenshiro replied. "There wasn't even a trace of him after that."
"So then…who could be behind this?" asked Lynn.
Toki begins to think deeply on the events that's happened leading up to now, believing that Kenshiro's nightmare is indeed a premonition.
"We'll give you all the details but first, we must know where Ryu is at"? said Cammy.
"Ryu?!" said Kenshiro.
Eleswhere in Japan, Ryu and Ken spar at their old training ground while reminiscing their younger years during their training under their master Gouken.
"I was afraid family life would soften you up." said Ryu.
"And I was afraid that the lack of good challenges like me would soften you up." said Ken.
Later on that evening, the two sit outside their dojo, discussing the past and present, as well as their last battle together. Ken suggests that Ryu start a family too but Ryu believes that that can wait for a while.
"Ryu-san!" said a familiar female voice. It was the fun-loving schoolgirl Sakura.
"Hey, it's Sakura!" said Ken. "What are you doing here?"
"I heard you were visiting Japan so I came to see you two spar with each other!" said Sakura. She then looks and asks "Don't tell me I missed it already!"
"Well hey, we don't mind going at it again!" said Ken. "I can use a good audience for my performance." Ryu shakes his head, realizing that Ken still has an ego problem.
"Sorry Ken but Ryu beat Sagat, remember?" said Sakura, while laughing. "What did you do?"
"Hey…! I'm still the US Champ, remember? So pipe down!"
In the middle of the conversation, Ryu notices a sudden movement in the bushes, although the others are unaware during their conversation.
"So come on, guys? Spar again, would ya?" asked Sakura.
"Well…what do you say, Ryu?" Ken then notices Ryu's stare. "Ryu?"
"Sakura!" said Ryu, as he gets into his fighting stance. "I think you should move out of the way!"
"WHAT?" said a panicked Sakura as she runs and turns around.
Out of the bushes comes a red-haired woman in a dark suit, slightly hovering over the ground. Ken then gets into fighting stance as Sakura watches from the back.
The woman is C. Viper.
"You really are quite observant, though I expected nothing less." said Viper.
"Who are you!?" said Ken.
"I've known about you for a long time and now we finally meet face to face. I've come to test your ability…Ryu."
"What?" asked Ryu. "Me?"
"Careful, Ryu." said Ken. "She's up to something!"
"What are you going to do, Ryu?" asked Sakura.
C. Viper charges forward at Ryu, with an electric punch that is blocked by Ryu. However, he feels the force from the punch.
"What the hell…!?" said Ken.
Ryu then leaps over Viper, while Ken attempts to attack her. However, he gets punched in the chest by Viper and ends up on the ground.
"Oh no! Ken!" said Ryu.
"Now that he's out of the way, let's say you give me a good fight now." said Viper. "Trust me, you don't want to waste anymore time". She charges Ryu, attacking him but Ryu simply goes on the defensive, skeptical about her attacks.
After a few missed attacks, Viper grabs the still-hurt Ken by his hair, holding his head. "Maybe I haven't made myself clear yet." She then electrocutes him, weakening him further. This angers Ryu, who's prompted to attack.
"Ken!" said Sakura. "You…witch! I can't let you do this!"
The woman then turns her attention to Sakura, who's prepared to take her on. With a smirkish look on her face, Viper calmly says "Then try and stop me."
"Wait, Sakura!" said Ryu. "Don't! She's too strong!" However, despite his pleading, Sakura goes on the attack and is too countered by the Viper's electric punch, causing Sakura to slowly fall to the ground.
The woman then grabs Sakura by the hair, saying "Well, Ryu? Are you going to stop holding back now? Or am I still not clear enough for you?"
Ryu, still not sure what she's up to, ponders about attacking the woman. He then wonders if Viper could be working for S.I.N.
Viper laughs, saying "I guess not!" She then kicks Sakura in the face with flaming kick that sends Sakura through the air. The sight of seeing one of his friends attacked like this finally brings out the anger in Ryu...and thus, the Dark Hadou.
