Chapter 3: Broken Reunions Part 1
Present day, Kanzaki Estate…
Ryu and Sakura were guided by the Kanzuki Family steward, Shibazaki. Ryu comes across the familiar meeting area from last time, the large open air dining hall separated by the wooden walkways of a Japanese home architecture near the lavish garden and koi ponds.
Standing before them with her back turned was a blonde girl in red with her hair done up in elaborate Victorian ringlet curls held with a blue ribbon.
"Karin-sama, the last of your guests have arrived." said Shibazaki.
Karin turned around at her steward's voice. Her red outfit consisted of a long-sleeved blazer with frilled cuffs, a short frilled skirt, and low-heel ankle boots with black leggings. She had a white frilled cleft around her neck and black fingerless gloves with brown handguards.
"Ah, Ryu, Sakura, glad you're able to join us. Please come inside."
Karin leads Ryu and Sakura into the dining hall where they see a few familiar faces.
There was a man with past shoulder length blonde hair wearing a black muscle form-fitting shirt with a red karate gi held by a black belt with the top hanging behind him, black fingerless gloves, and black foot pads. He sat at a table with a blonde woman and a blonde boy. The woman had long wavy blonde hair and wearing a short white shirt with jean shorts and sandals. The boy had short hair wearing a red t-shirt with a flame print on it with blue jeans and black sneakers. Sitting on the other side of the man were a teen boy and a voluptuous young woman. The teen was dark skinned with short black hair done in dreadlocks with the sides shaved. He wore a yellow hoodie and pants with red sneakers. The woman was lightly tanned with long black hair going down her right side while the left was done in cornrows. She wore brown sandals with short blue cutoff jean shorts showing off the straps of her black thong and a short green shirt stopping just at the lower part of her breasts.
"It was nice of Miss Karin to pay for our trip, Honey."
"Well I couldn't leave you and Mel behind, Eliza. You can think of it as another vacation."
"Uh… I'm honored you invited us along, Master Ken."
"Don't mention it, Sean. Just don't forget your training."
"Ha! My scrawny brother will need all the help he can get!"
"Laura… quit embarrassing me..."
Sitting at the table near them were a man, a woman, and a teen girl. The man wore dark blue pants and combat boots with a tie on a white button down shirt that had the sleeves folded to the shoulders, showing off his arm muscles. Was apparently a military man due to the blue stripes on the shirt showing the rank of Major as well as a tattoo of the American flag on each shoulder. The striking thing about him is that his blonde hair was in a tall flattop style. The woman also had long wavy blonde hair and wore a short orange tank with black slacks and low heel pumps. The Teen girl had blonde hair done up in a side ponytail and wore a pink t-shirt with blue jean shorts and white sneakers.
"I'm glad you brought Amy and me along, Guile."
"Don't mention it, Julia. Guess this could count as a family vacation since Eliza and her family are here, too. Plus, it's your first time in Japan."
"Are all your missions like this, Dad?"
"Sometimes."
At the next table sat two girls and a big man who was greedily eating from a tray of roast chicken. The first girl wore a beige ninja dogi consisting of a sleeveless top, baggy pants with holes that exposed her hips, and a bandanna over her head. She had bandaged around her wrist with brown handguards and bandages around her shins and ankles. Around her neck was what looked like a black muffler that partially covered her chin. Her dark brown hair was held in a long topknot separated in two long angular strands and her front bangs were done in similar style. The second girl had dark skin and short white hair, wearing red slacks, black shoes, and a white sleeveless top. Around her wrists were a number of multi-colored bangles. The man was fat and dark-skinned with a blonde mowhawk wearing dark combat boots, torn pants, and an open vest showing off his beer belly. He also had black fingerless gloves with chains wrapped around his forearms.
"Hey Birdie, you keep eating like that, and you'll wind up choking on bones."
"A bodyguard's gotta keep his strength up! Er… you two want any?"
"Er… no thanks, I'm good."
"Go right ahead!"
"Well, more for me!"
"He's got quite an appetite, doesn't he, Ibuki?"
"Doesn't even begin to describe it, Elena..."
At another table sat a muscled man and two women. The man had long blonde hair with a wide red bandanna around his head. He was shirtless with brown combat boots, a green set of overalls with the front hanging down over his waist, and green fingerless gloves. The first woman wore a blue short-sleeved kung fu dress with poofed shoulders and white laced up boots over dark brown stockings. Her brown hair was done up in two hair buns covered in white cloths and wore spiked bracelets on her wrists. The second woman had long blonde hair tied into two thick braids and wore a tight green thong leotard with black combat boots. She also had red fingerless gloves with bracers covering her forearms and a red beret on her head.
"So once again, MI6 and Interpol are working together."
"Seems to be a common thing now, Chun Li, with all the crazy world-taking organizations out there."
"Still don't know why we're all here."
"Relax, Alex. We will, soon."
"Fine, Miss White."
"Cammy is fine."
Sitting on the floor nearby was a muscled man wearing nothing but brown cut-off shorts and grey anklets. Thing is he had long wild orange hair and green skin. He was currently eating from a pile of fruit. Kneeling nearby him eating from the same fruit pile was a man with brown hair tied in a ponytail dressed in a black shirt with a pink karate gi and brown fingerless gloves.
"Hey Jimmy! Quit hogging all the good stuff!"
"Ha! Dan is too slow!"
Off to the side were a blonde girl with her hair done up in two sidetails and a big mustache-bearded musclebound man with a short mohawk, both taking muscle poses. The man wore only red briefs, boots, and gold bracers. The girl wore a blue frilled thong leotard with white boots and a blue eye mask.
"Again, Mika! Muscle power!"
"Yes, Master Zangief! You're so cool!"
The next table sat a woman with long purple zig-zagging hair in a purple off-shoulder dress over a dark purple halter top and leggings with red high heels. Around her arms and shoulders was a yellow silk scarf. Behind her was a thin man floating in midair while sitting in a lotus position. He wore only a pair of yellow shorts held up by a rope with a few gold wristbands and anklebands, a white turban on his head, and a metal ring around his neck adorned with three small skulls. His body had several red markings.
"I sense something's not right..."
"You feel it, too, Rose?"
"Indeed, Dhalsim. I just pray I'm wrong."
Leaning against the wall nearby was a tall one-eyed bald man with his arms folded. He wore bandages around his hands and feet, long blue torn shorts tied by a white and orange belt, and a short tattered green cloak that partially covers the scar on his chest.
"Ryu! Sakura! So you finally made it!"
Everyone else stopped to see the latecomers arrive.
"Ken." said Ryu as he looked at his old friend and rival. He then nods in greeting to Ken's wife and son.
"It's been a while." said Guile.
"You never stop fighting, do you?" said Chun Li.
"It is the path I walk." Ryu then looks to the tall bald man. "Sagat."
"Ryu."
"I'm kinda surprised he's here, too, Ryu-Sensei..." said Sakura.
"People change, Sakura." said Ryu.
More greetings were made, then later Ken and Guile sent their families away to the guest quarters once Karin was about to start the meeting.
"Alright, now that we're all here, we can get started." announced Karin, getting everyone's attention. "As you all may have guessed, this isn't a social call. We may have another crisis on our hands."
"What is it this time?" asked Sakura.
"It may be hard to believe, but it may be Shadaloo."
"What? But that's impossible!" said Rainbow Mika. "We smashed up that place last time!"
"Yes, but surveillance state otherwise."
"Interpol managed to find leads suggesting that the island where Shadaloo's last base of operations was during the Black Moons incident is becoming active." said Chun Li.
"We've sent out surveillance drones to check the area out, but we had lost contact with them. Most likely they were shot down." added Guile.
"Hold on. How do we even know it's Shadaloo? For all we know, it could be another organization like S.I.N." said Ken.
"That is a reasonable conclusion, too, Mr. Masters, but right now we don't have much to go on." said Karin.
"Then we just go to place and smash like last time!" said Zangief.
"Easier said than done, Mr. Zangief." Karin turned to Guile. "Major, do you have any drone footage of the island that is still intact?"
"Yes." Guile opened up the laptop connected to the HD monitor in the dining hall wall. Typing in some commands, he links up a USB drive, playing a video on the big monitor. It showed a grainy camera video of the island observing some of the camera drones trying to approach. Before they could get any closer, they all each get shot down by beams of light. "This was taken about two weeks ago."
"We still have a few drones on standby near the island for observation." said Chun Li.
"Blimey! What in the 'ell was that?" asked Birdie.
"Island is cursed!" said Blanka.
"We have absolutely no idea what that is." said Cammy. "It could possibly be an upgraded Psycho Drive."
"Could it be… Bison?" asked Ibuki.
Everyone else was shocked at that.
"No, it isn't."
All eyes turned to Rose.
"How can you be so sure?" asked Alex.
"As much as I hate to admit it, I share a connection to Bison thanks to my Soul Power. I do not feel him at all here. My cards also shown me nothing."
"Wait, you came to that idea just because your fortune telling mumbo jumbo said so? How dumb is that?" asked Dan, earning him a whack on the head by Sakura.
"Aside from that, didn't you guys say you had some of those camera drone things nearby a safe distance so they wouldn't be shot down? What do those show?" asked Laura.
"That's the problem. Something had interfered with the drones' optics, causing the picture to be disrupted." replied Guile. "Currently, MI6 is trying to repair the latest footage we sent them. They should be finished soon."
An incoming call sounded on the laptop.
"It's from Ginzu!" said Cammy as she accepted the call. "This is Cammy. Were you able to fix the video feed, Ginzu?"
"Y-yeah, Cammy, but you're not gonna believe what is on it!" said Ginzu.
"Upload it."
"Okay, but prepare yourselves. If the timestamp is right, this was taken this morning..."
Ginzu complies and the monitor plays another scene. What everyone saw shocked them.
The video of two weeks ago showed the ruins of the Shadaloo island base. The latest video showed the island completely engulfed in some strange dark blob-like substance, which seemed to pulsate as if it were alive.
"What the hell?" said Alex.
"What is that!?" said Sean.
"I… did not forsee this..." said Rose.
The video continues to show the giant blob-like thing grow out tentacle-like appendages that pointed upwards before firing several beams into the sky, followed by flashes of light. The feed immediately cut off there.
"It's like a beast of legend." said Dhalsim.
"Ginzu! What was that!?" asked Cammy.
"I was hoping you could tell me!" said Ginzu. "I've seen strange things on our missions, but nothing like this! I'm going to try-"
"Ginzu? I didn't catch that. Do you copy? Ginzu?"
The connection was cut off.
"Hey! What happened? Re-establish connection!" said Guile.
Cammy tries to contact Ginzu again, but all her attempts failed. "No good! I can't reach him!"
Ryu turned his head towards something. "Hey, do any of you hear that?"
Hearing Ryu, everyone in the room looked at him then fell silent as they trained their ears to what the Shotoken user was referring to.
"What? I don't hear anything." said Dan.
"I hear something..." said Sagat.
"I hear it, too..." said Ken.
"I can as well..." said Elena.
Dan felt his pride take a hit. Ibuki's head snapped up and quickly ran out of the room towards the front gates.
"Daddy!"
"Dad!"
"Guile!"
"Ken!"
Guile and Ken turned to see their respective families come out looking frantic.
"Julia? Amy? What's wrong?" asked Guile.
"We just saw on TV a special new bulletin and-" started Eliza, but was suddenly cut off by a shout.
"EVERYONE! GET OUT HERE QUICK!"
The rest still in the dining hall were brought to attention by Ibuki's shout and quickly ran to where she was at. When they got there, they were treated to a horrible sight.
The streets before them were littered with empty cars, some crashed into others or obstructions, causing some car alarms to blare. Some people were running about in a panic. This in itself was already alarming, but that was only the beginning.
"Hey! What's going on!?" said Laura.
"Look!" said Blanka.
To the Street Fighters' astonished eyes, all the panicked people started to dissolve into dust in the wind right before them.
"What's… happening…?" said Alex.
"Is this some supernatural phenomena?" said Sagat.
"This… this was what happened on that news report..." said Julia.
"What?" said Ken to his sister-in-law.
"K-Karin-sama..."
Karin turned to look at her steward. "Shibazaki?"
Shibazaki said nothing as he held up his hand, which started to dissolve into dust.
"Shibazaki!"
Everyone's attention was drawn towards Karin as they witnessed Shibazaki slowly dissolving to dust until he just vanished.
Suddenly, Dan sank to his knees while holding his stomach. "Hey… I don't feel so good..."
They all turned to Dan.
"Dan?" said Sakura.
Dan groaned and he, too, started to dissolve to nothing.
"D… Dan?" said Blanka as he looked at the spot where his friend once was.
"Oog… bloody 'ell… what's happenin' to me…?" Eyes turned to Birdie, who fell on his butt as the top of his mohawk started to dissolve. "Aw no… not my hair..." He was cut off as he dissolved completely.
"No… this cannot be..." said Rose after witnessing the sight.
"Dad… I feel sick..."
"Daddy… help..."
Ken and Guile's blood ran cold when they heard their children's voices. Looking over to them and their wives, they became horrified.
"Ken… what's… what's happening to us…?" said Eliza.
"Guile… I..." said Julia.
"No… no no no!" said Ken as he rushed over to his family. "Eliza! Mel!"
"Julia! Amy! Stay with me now!" said Guile as he went to his own family.
"Sean! No!" Ken turned to Laura, who was cradling her brother in her arms.
"Laura… Master Ken..." said Sean.
"No… Sean, too?" said Ken.
"How… how is this… happening to me…?" said Zangief as he looked at his dissolving hands.
"Master Zangief! No! Not you, too!" said Rainbow Mika, horrified to see her idol dissolve. "This can't happen to you! You've got muscle power, remember!? Anything is possible with muscle!"
Eliza, Julia, Mel, Amy, Sean, and Zangief soon followed and dissolved to nothing.
"Karin! What is going-" Sakura started before she cut herself off after seeing her rival also beginning to dissolve. "Karin!"
Karin could only look at her dissolving hand before turning to look at Sakura. "Sakura…?" Before she could dissolve completely, Karin quickly pulled something out of her coat with her solid hand and threw it to Sakura. Sakura reflexively caught the object before witnessing her rival dissolving away.
"Ryu... everyone..."
The remaining people looked over to Rose.
"Rose?" said Ryu.
"The source is at that island… this is far bigger than just Shadaloo… there is an even greater evil upon us… you must go to the source and neutralize it, but you can't do this alone..." said Rose. "You must find allies..."
Soon, Rose started to slowly disintegrate.
"No! Rose!" said Ryu.
"You that remain… are our last hope..." Rose finally dissolved into the wind, leaving behind her tarot card deck that scattered across the floor. All of them were face down except for five cards, which represented the Sun, the Moon, the World, the Star, and the Devil.
The ones who remained, Ryu, Ken, Guile, Chun Li, Cammy, Sakura, Blanka, Dhalsim, Alex, Sagat, Ibuki, Elena, Laura, and Rainbow Mika could only stand in shock at what happened.
"This… this can't be real..." said Elena.
Sakura then looked at her closed fist and opened it to see what Karin tossed to her. It turned out to be a key with a tag.
Somewhere in Japan…
At a large stadium on a school campus, a multi-sporting event was being held, and what better place for it than one Gorin High School, most famous for its athletic programs. All other high schools in the prefecture were invited to compete for pride and glory as well as to solidify good relations with each other.
Within the stadium, people cheered for their teams during the track and field events.
"GO TAIYO!" shouted a girl in the crowd with short brown hair tapering off to the sides. She was dressed in a Taiyo High uniform consisting of a light blue vest over a short-sleeved white button down shirt, a light blue skirt, and a pink ribbon tie around her neck. On her head was white headband, and she wore orange belted wristbands and yellow sneakers.
"SHOW 'EM WHO RULES!" shouted a boy with spiky black hair next to the girl. He also wore a Taiyo High uniform consisting of a blue long-sleeved jacket with light blue bandages wrapped around the upper arms over a chainmail vest and blue pants with light blue bandages wrapped around the left leg. He had on white sneakers with red stripes and red fingerless gloves.
"Isn't this exciting, Batsu?" asked the girl.
"Sure is, Hinata. This is how a sporting event should be like!" said Batsu.
"I know you would've wanted to compete."
"If I did, it would be no contest! However, these are junior events, and we're seniors, now."
"Yeah, too bad!" said Hinata. She suddenly gets a sad look. "I only wish Kyosuke could be here..."
Batsu also looked down at hearing that name. Batsu Ichimonji was a transfer student who came to Taiyo High to find his missing mother where he and his friends, Hinata Wakaba, and Kyosuke Kagami, got involved in a series of incidents where the local high schools got attacked. In the beginning, the high schools pointed the finger at each other, but was later revealed the elite private school, Justice High, was the culprit. It was already unnerving that Batsu's mother was taken by the principal, Raizo, of that school, but never had he imagined that same man was also his father. Students from the other schools banded together to take down Justice High for what it has done, but it turned out the true mastermind behind everything was the school's student body president, Hyo Imawano, who also happened to be Kyosuke's brother. After defeating Hyo and rescuing Batsu's mother, peace returned to the schools and Hyo apparently turned a new leaf.
The peace didn't last as the schools were once again being attacked. Batsu, Hinata, and Kyosuke immediately went to investigate the new attacks where they learn of the Darkside Student Council, lead by Kurow Kirishima. Kurow was a sadistic student with brainwashing powers who had designs to take over Japan and the world. His dreams of grandeur cost him dearly as he did not count on the interference of Hyo, who wound up getting possessed by the spirit of his father, becoming Demon Hyo. Struggling to retain himself, Hyo begged Kyosuke to put an end to him as he cannot fight off their father's control for very long and if he were to run rampant, it would spell doom. With a heavy heart, Kyosuke was forced to take down Hyo, who then died in his arms from his injuries. After the incident, Kyosuke just vanished without a trace.
"Kyosuke… I wonder where you are at right now..." said Batsu.
Later, the relay race involving all the schools was about to commence. This consisted of Taiyo High, Pacific High, Gorin High, Gedo High (surprisingly), Seijyun High, and Justice High. Batsu soon started to fidget in his seat.
"What's wrong?" asked Hinata.
"Oh man! I think I had too much soda!" said Batsu. "I gotta go to the bathroom!"
"I warned you not to drink so much!"
"Forget it! I'll be back!"
Batsu immediately got up and ran out of his seat to get inside the stadium hallways.
"Bathroom bathroom bathroom!" said Batsu as he ran about trying to find the nearest toilet. He runs through the floor trying to find a restroom, but it was closed for cleaning. Cursing, he ran to the next floor to find another. After about a minute, he finally finds one and ran to the door where he goes to one of the stalls to relieve himself. "Phew… that was close..."
Finally finishing, Batsu goes to use the sink. "Man… I drank more than I thought." He heard screaming crowds outside. "Man, the events must be really exciting. I'd better hurry up or I'll miss out!"
"BATSU!"
"Wha!?" Batsu was taken by surprise when Hinata suddenly burst into the restroom looking frantic. "Hinata! What are you doing? This is the men's room!"
"Never mind that! We've got a serious problem here!" said Hinata.
"What? Did a fight break out?" asked Batsu.
"Worse! You have to come out here right now!" Hinata grabbed Batsu's wrist and pulls him out through the door.
Batsu was shocked when he came out. People were running and screaming about in a panic as they started to actually disintegrate before them.
"What the hell!?" said Batsu. "They're all turning to dust!"
"Come on, Batsu!" said Hinata.
They quickly made their way to the stadium stands where they saw more people turning to dust. Once they got there, they were horrified when they saw the stadium slowly die down until they were the only ones left. The place that was once teeming with cheers became dead silent in a matter of a few moments.
"Batsu! Hinata!"
The two turned to see a girl with black hair done up in a sidetail and carrying a camera. She wore a Taiyo High uniform along with a blue open vest, black fingerless gloves, and yellow shades on her head.
"Ran? Are you all right? What happened here!?" asked Batsu. He saw Ran about to collapse and quickly caught her before she fell to the ground.
"I… I don't know… I was just taking pictures for the school paper, and next thing I knew, everyone was literally falling apart!" said Ran.
"Ran! What happened to the others? Are they all right?" asked Hinata.
"I don't know… there might be survivors, but..." Ran also began to slowly dissolve.
"Ran!"
Ran could only stay silent as she dissolved to nothing, leaving her camera behind. Batsu looked shocked as Hinata held her hands to her mouth in horror.
"RAN!"
Batsu looked at the camera and picked it up to look through the photos taken. He saw pictures of the sporting events, which then became photos of people in mid-disintegration. Hinata's heart fell further when she saw three certain people in one picture who were dissolving.
"No… Natsu… Shoma… Roberto..." said Hinata.
Batsu stood up holding the camera. "Hinata, let's search for any survivors!"
Hinata nods and they go back inside.
The two Taiyo High students ran through the now empty hallways. Considering the size of the stadium, it was a huge place to search.
"It's a big place, it can't be completely empty..." said Batsu.
"Hey! Is anyone out there!?" called out Hinata.
"Oi! If's someone's there, say something!" called Batsu.
A short distance ahead of them, the double doors leading further into the stadium opened up where two people come out.
The first was a teen boy with short blonde fringed hair wearing a white button down shirt with the sleeves folded, a red necktie, and a red formal vest. He had on blue jeans, red and black sneakers, and black fingerless gloves with a silver watch on his left wrist.
The second was a busty teen girl with long blonde hair ties in a curly ponytail with a curly fringe at the front of her face. She wore what looked like a very daring cheerleader outfit consisting of a blue sleeveless thong leotard with a big white star covering her large chest and thigh-high leggings with red and white stripes on top and blue laced-up boots. On her head was a blue bandanna with a white star and on her hands white handwraps.
"Roy? Tiffany?" said Batsu.
The ones in question turned to Batsu.
"Batsu? Hinata?" said Roy.
"Oh my God! You guys are still alive!" said Tiffany.
"We should be saying that!" said Hinata, happy to have run into someone they know.
"It's good to see you guys are still around!" said Batsu.
"Could say the same." said Roy.
Hinata noticed something. "Hey, where's Boman?"
Roy could only look away as Tiffany looked sad.
"Boman… he… vanished right before our eyes..." said Tiffany.
"Oh no..."
"He was right there, and we couldn't…." Tiffany was on the verge of tears.
"Enough, Tiffany. There was nothing we could've done. I doubt any of us could..." said Roy. "Just like those two guys from Gedo."
Batsu and Hinata winced as they thought about Edge and Gan, the two lieutenants of Daigo Kazama. Even they've vanished.
"I take it you couldn't find anyone else either?" asked Batsu.
"No, and we've been searching ourselves. You guys are the first we ran into."
"Wait… what about the rest of the town?" asked Hinata.
"I'm worried, too. Let's make for the entrance." said Batsu.
The four students head towards the main entrance hall of the stadium. To their surprise, they heard what sounded like a scuffle.
"A fight?" said Tiffany.
"Come on!" said Batsu.
They burst through the double doors to see what looked like a bunch of black humanoid blobs with purple eyes attacking two other people. One was a middle-aged bespectacled man with short black hair wearing a white button down shirt with the sleeves folded up, a purple and green striped necktie, brown pants, and black shoes. He had on red fingerless gloves and silver shoulderguards. The other was a bespectacled woman with long black hair wearing a red sweater, brown stockings, and a black miniskirt with black high heels. She also had on a white lab coat and carried a black business pamplet.
"Hideo-sensei! Kyoko-sensei!" shouted Batsu.
Hideo and Kyoko paused momentarily in their fight to see the Taiyo and Pacific students.
"Hey! You're still alive?" said Hideo before he dodged an attack from one of the humanoid blobs before countering it with a punch.
"Hold on! We'll help you!" said Hinata.
Batsu, Hinata, Roy, and Tiffany ran forward and engaged the blob humanoids.
Batsu lands a punch to a blob's head followed by a spin kick, knocking it away. He crouched down and elbow charged another in the gut before hitting it with an uppercut. Grabbing another blob, he throws it into two more, then strikes another down with a flying kick. When two more of the blobs rushed at Batsu, he brought his fists back and threw them forward, firing off his Guts Bullet attack.
"KIAI DAN!"
The Guts Bullet sent the blobs flying.
Hinata rushed in with a side kick to a blob comboed into a high kick. She does a back kick at a blob behind her and thrust her hand forward in a palm strike. Jumping up, Hinata dropped down on a blob and brought both her fists down on its head then flipped forward to axe kick another one. Landing before another blob, she crouched down and launched herself upward while spinning her fists around, knocking them back.
"SHOUYOUKEN!"
Roy tagged two blobs with a shoulder charge then punched with a hard straight, slamming them into the wall. He goes off and hits a nearby blob with an uppercut then kicked it away before it hit the ground. Spinning around, Roy struck a blob in the head with a backfist punch then grabbed and slammed it into the floor. He then jumped up and kicks another blob down, then as he came down, Roy punched the floor, causing a ki column to erupt that knocked back 2 more blobs.
"TOUCHDOWN WAVE!"
Tiffany does a forward cartwheel where she knocked down a blob with a double heel drop then stomped its head. Two more blobs attacked her from opposite sides, where she jumped up doing the splits, kicking them both away. She then charge forward while punching both her fists at a blobs face before following up with a front kick to the gut. Sidestepping a blob's attack, Tiffany delivered a backfist punch to the back of its neck followed by a downward punch, knocking it to the ground. Seeing more blobs coming at her, Tiffany jumped up and dove down on them with a diving kick with both feet.
"EXCITE KICK!"
Hideo punches a blob with a charging hook then knocked it into another blob with a side kick. He gives a gut punch to another blob before sending it down with an elbow strike to the back. Hideo then kicks a nearby blob then comboed into an axe kick to the head, knocking it down, then hits another one with a flying kick. Landing, Hideo cupped his cands to his side, charging his ki before thrustsing his palms forward, firing a ki shot that blasted three more blobs away.
"SEIHAKEN!"
Kyoko does a step-in side kick on a blob then lashed out with her other leg, sending it flying to the side. She then blocked a blob's fist with her pamphlet, then countered with a knee kick to the gut and swinging the pamphlet at its head. Kyoko then rushed forward, grabbing a blob before kicking it repeatedly while holding it in place, the last kick knocking it down. Afterward, she flipped over a blob trying to attack her from behind where she land behind it, knocking it down with her pamphlet and stomping its head. Kyoko launched herself up with a rising knee kick that send a blob upward, then axe kicked it back down.
"SHOUTEN SEKKAI!"
After some time, the humanoid blobs were all finally taken down. The four students and two teachers stood a bit winded after the fight they had gone through.
"Finally… it's over..." said Kyoko. She turned to the students of Taiyo and Pacific. "We thank you for coming when you did. Who knows what would've happened."
"We're just glad you're all right." said Hinata.
"What's going on? Almost everyone in the stadium just turned to dust!" said Roy.
"Yeah, we couldn't believe it ourselves." said Hideo. "It happened so suddenly it caught everyone off guard. Kyoko and I tried to find anyone still solid, but then..."
"You ran into these things." Batsu finished. "Where the hell did they come from?"
"Your guess is as good as mine."
"Hey, look!" said Tiffany.
Everyone turned to the cheerleader and noticed her looking at the monsters they just defeated. All of them just melted into the ground without a trace.
"What in..." said Hinata.
"This day just gets stranger by the minute." said Roy. "It feels like we just stepped into a zombie apocalypse movie or something."
"Ah, Roy! Don't say such things!" said Tiffany.
"In any case, we can't stay here." said Kyoko.
"Kyoko's right. We need to check the city." said Hideo. "Better stick together. Who knows if there are more of those things we just fought out there."
"Good idea. Let's get going!" said Batsu.
The four students and two teachers exit the stadium.
To be continued…
Author's Notes:
So now the entity begins to systematically erase people on earth. Some cast of Street Fighter and Rival Schools/Project Justice are left in shock at what had occurred in the past few hours. What will possibly happen now? Unfortunately, troubles are still brewing.
Next time, we return to present day Metro City where a few separate reunions occur.
Please leave a review and tell me what you all think!
