Bad Dreams Ch.6
By Morlock and RC

He followed the man in the white coat through a sliding steel door and into a very dimly lit room. The room was large and there was a big throne-like chair facing big monitoring screens. The old man beckoned him near the throne. The old man pointed at the throne.

"There are the clothes you are to wear. When you have dressed I will come back and initiate the Drive. It will help you get your memory." said the old scientist.

"Don't you mean it will help me get my memory back?" he asked.

The old man smiled cruely and replied, "No."

Then he left. This made him angry. What is the old man implying? That I have no memory? The man's fists clenched in anger and they felt oddly strange. He looked at his hands, but the feelings were gone. He sighed in defeat and looked at the red garb that had been laid out for him.

Chun Li saw them coming. The big Air Force pilot with the whack haircutt and the American M.A. Champ. She guessed she should be happy to see them, but the fact that Bison's body had become little more than dust irritated her. She wore her blue jumpsuit with the vest. She liked the traditional wushu outfit better, but this one was a bit more practical.

Guile smiled as did Masters, but Chun Li only beckoned them to follow her. She heard Ken groan. He got very air sick and they were now heading towards a helicopter after being on a plane for several hours. They all clamoured into the copter and took their seats. Chun Li sat opposite from them and after they got into the air she opened a knapsack and threw a bag of sand at Guile.

It hit Guile in the chest and slid into his lap.

"What the h*ll is this junk?" He asked.

"Bison."

"What?" Guile and Ken asked at the same time.

"I told you that he dissolved into this stuff approximately Seventy Two hours after his battle with Ryu. Thats him." She explained.

Guile shoved the bag off his lap and glared at it in discust. He peered at the bag of red granuals and shook his head.

"If anyone deserves to die and stay that way, it's defenately Bison." Guile sad with a tired look on his face.

Ken simply stared at the bag. Ken thought about how Bison had warped his mind into making him hate Ryu. Hate his best friend.

Chun Li quietly sat with her arms folded and stared with unblinking eyes at the bag. She thought of her Vega's attack, Shadowloo's crime waves, and about her father.

No one movewd the bag.

Ryu spun out of the Tatsumaki Senpukyaku and let out a long breath. The Hurricane Kick as it was called by many, was very tiring. The only technique more exhausting was it's Sister techniques the Shippu Jinrai Kyaku and the Shinkuu Tatsumaki Senpukyaku.

Ryu found himself at the pond down the mountain from his dojo.

~Six miles of Hurricane Kicks, not bad.~ He thought to himself.

He leaned down to look at the lake. All the ice had melted by now and the water looked cool and refreshing. He was sore from continuous days of non-stop training and he was thirsty. Ryu knelt down to the edge of the lake and was about to take a drink when he saw a reflection in the water.

"BISON!!"

Ryu spun on one foot and lashed out with his other, attempting to knock Bison's feet out from under him.

His foot never touched him. Bison was gone.

Ryu jumped up to his feet breathing hard.

Ryu felt a chill breeze ruffle his hair and he spun. There he was! Ryu grunted and launched into a Hurricane Kick. He passed right through him. Ryu spun to the ground and executed a spinning heel kick followed by a straight punch and a spinning elbow strike.

Bison was gone. Ryu looked around with a wild glint to his eyes and screamed.

Birds flew from trees and Ryu looked at them as they scattered. He watched the trees and saw Bison. Ryu clenched his teeth and tensed his fingers. He pulled hard on his Chi and felt it gather. The sky became dark and lightning snaked across the sky. Bison smiled and multipled. Everywhere Ryu looked Bison appeared. The forest was filled with an army of his hated foe cackling at him.

Ryu howled in anger and pulled harder on his Lifeforce, forcing it from the Earth and collecting chi from the skies. He screamed as he launched his hate towards the forest.

The sound was imense and after it was over a shower of woodchips rained down on Ryu and smoke filled his nostrils. Bison was gone.

Ryu sighed heavily and turned toward his home. Bison was there beckoning to him.

Ryu screamed.

The mountains returned it tenfold.
