Street Fighter Movie Narration: Part 22

Vega leaps at Ryu, and kicks him in the chest - sending him flying into the gym. Everybody -both good and evil- follows them into the gym, and all gather around but certainly stand clear to give them all the room they need to fight.

Ryu lands smack against a wall in the gym, and no his skull is not shattered but blood spills from the back of his twisted head. He feels at the blood as he stands himself back up.

"That... was a lucky hit, Vega..." Ryu hisses as he stands back up. "You're going to regret it!" and he rushes toward Vega.

Vega waits for just the right moment to move... then as Ryu is just a few paces away from he, he gracefully spins aside like a matador dodging a bull at a bullfight! "The only one here who'll do any regretting today is you!" he snaps - and he swiftly stabs his claw right through Ryu's foot! Ryu yelps in pain - even more so as Vega stabs his claw through the bastard's other foot as well, before backflipping away from him!

"Mon Dieu!" Jenny gasps. "That's a double cheap shot!"

"But very well done!" Mel comments. "The sooner Vega can rescue the beautiful Princess Natalie, the better! God I fainted multiple times these past three days and..."

"SHUT UP!!" Sagat snaps at Mel.

"You want a cheap shot, Vega?" Ryu snaps at Vega. "Then take THIS!" He pushes his hands forward in Vega's direction - and a powerful burst of blue fire emerges from his hands, aimed straight at the handsome matador! "HADOKEN!!" Ryu shouts, as he shoots the fireball at Vega.

"Oh holy fuck!" Ken gasps. "That's a Hadoken!"

But he need not worry. Vega instantly lies flat on his back on one of the gym mats, not moving even an inch until the Hadoken passes over him - then he swiftly stands back up to face Ryu, and executes a Rolling Crystal Flash aimed at the bastard just as the Hadoken hits the wall and burns a Bison poster.

"Oh God no..." Ryu groans, and he moves aside out of Vega's path. "His Excellency's gonna kill me!"

"No he won't!" Sagat tells him. "He'll have all the more reason to execute Vega right before Princess Natalie's very eyes!"

"Whew..." Ryu sighs in relief. "But I'd gladly accept any form of punishment anyway!"

Vega is pissed at Ryu for dodging him... and even more at Sagat for his comment, and he finishes the Rolling Crystal Flash and sticks his claw out. He stands back up once more and stabs his claw at Ryu, but again Ryu dodges and so Vega only ends up sticking his claw into a punch bag.

Ryu then glances at the furnace... and smiles evilly as an idea comes to his twisted mind. Sagat and the entire Tong members and Bison troopers all too smile evilly as they realise what Ryu has in mind. Ryu backs up to the furnace... and Vega and his many supporters here are horrified as they realise Ryu's idea, but Vega has no time to panic - he has an idea of his own! <"I need to time it just right..."> he thinks.

Vega executes another Rolling Crystal Flash aimed in Ryu's direction, and once he stands before Ryu right there in front of the furnace he swiftly slams his claw against the button to open the furnace - and Ryu attempts to swipe at Vega and grab him by his wrist...

...But Vega is too fast for him! Vega ducks just as Ryu moves his hand - and as he gets back up he grabs Ryu, too fast for the bastard to even merely think to grab him by his mask or his braided hair... and almost without thinking, Vega tosses Ryu headfirst into the furnace! Ryu has no time to scream as the flames consume his entire evil body, instantly burning him to a crisp!

Vega yodels wildly, and many of his supporters yodel too - but Crystal Hoshi is completely enraged at Vega! She rushes straight at the matador - but the moment she approaches him, he grabs her and tosses her headfirst into the furnace too! "If you love him so much, then by all means - you may join him in death!" he tells her, as he slams the furnace shut.

The yodelling grows louder at Vega having also slain Crystal Hoshi... but Vega has no time to soak up the praise. He pushes back his braid, and turns to face the locker hallway.

But before he can run off... Mel approaches him. "Go to her, Vega..." Mel tells Vega, and the handsome matador proudly bows his head in reply to Mel's words... then he runs off, to rescue his true love. Some of the Tong members and Bison troopers attempt to grab Vega, or follow him - but Sagat holds them back, and they share his sinister smile as they realise the evil idea running through his mind.

When Vega is finally out of the area, and his hurried rapid footsteps can no longer be heard, Guile turns to face the rest of the good guys here. "Choose your opponent, and kick his or her ass!" he orders everybody. "That's an order!!"

"Yes SIR!!" all good folks reply with a salute, and all good and evil folks scramble to pick whom they shall fight.

Jenny de Cerna is about to launch herself at Setsuna - but Mel wrestles her to the ground and punches her in the chest. "This is for your masterminding the attempts to bring down the Saikyo Chaos Realm, and especially to shame Princess Natalie!" he snaps at her.

Jenny stands back up once more, and cracks the veils of her dress like a whip. "You want to fight me?" Jenny asks Mel. "I can give you zat wish, Mel! HEIL!!" and so Jenny and Mel fight.

Raven stabs her scythe right in Lex's back! "This is for your uglification of our glorious website!" she snaps at Lex.

Lex screams in pain, and clutches his back as he turns to face Raven. "Oh, it's one of you Vega fans!" he sneers, and he assumes a battle stance before she. "Just the kind of person I want to kill!"

"I'll drown you in your blood for making my own blood boil, Lex!" Raven replies, and she and Lex begin their brawl.

Guile and Ken both battle Sagat, who has no problem fighting two opponents at once even when his attacks miss and their attacks on he are successful. "I'd be happy to kill you both!" he sneers.

The fighting echoes all around the gym area and any nearby areas - and thankfully, even as the evil folks make numerous successful attacks... the advantage is certainly going to the good side, especially the Vega fans. Oh yeah!

Still with Natalie forcibly at his side, Bison materialises in the command room. With his other hand he uses his powers to lift the entire corpses of a number of his troopers littered around the room and move them to behind the destroyed brick wall - then with the entire corpses moved, he returns his attentions to his beautiful hostage.

"They may be the corpses of our noble army..." he tells her, "...But even they would not wish for their own corpses to spoil the view while we enjoy the remainder of our... private interview..."

"I think they'd also know it's hardly 'private' when the hostages can hear us..." Natalie muses, still undeterred and refusing to give in to Bison's advances.

Bison responds by taking both of her hands in his, and he pulls her close to he - so close, her chest is tightly pressed against his. "This coming from one of them?" he asks, rubbing his fingers against her from her cheek to her arm.

Natalie rolls her eyes at Bison's comment. "Ugh... right..." she groans.

"Besides..." Bison then adds, "...Let them hear us... my queen!"

"Oh dream on, Bison!" Natalie scoffs. "Vega will rescue me - and send you straight back to the Hell from whence you came! I..."

Bison pins Natalie against a wall, and she can only grit her teeth and tilt her head aside. "Did you not hear the message back in our chambers?" he asks her with an evil smile. "Vega was just moments away from... facing his own worst nightmare! Oh this is delicious - Sagat will see that meddlesome matador street fighter pummelled to dust and then bring him to me... which should be any moment now! YES! YES!"

Natalie knows Vega will save her... but she cannot shake off her fear at her own unfortunate predicament. <"Vega! Get me out of here!!"> she thinks, as Bison tries to kiss her on the lips...

Refusing to stop to catch his breath, Vega -now much too far off from the gym, so no longer can he hear the sounds of fighting there- runs through the halls of the palace very fast, very desperately. No hint of exhaustion, nothing and nobody whatsoever, can stop a man in true love from racing to rescue his beloved! He can't even feel the sweat dripping down from his sculpted body, or the ache in a number of his muscles - but he can certainly hear his heart beating rapidly, though we all know all too well he does not hear it for the sake of exhaustion or the rapid pumping of his blood!

But wherever there is a 'wet floor' warning sign or any other obstacle, yes wherever applicable Vega climbs up the walls and runs along those - until he is out of the areas where those obstacles be located, thus he climbs back down and runs along the floors again. No obstacle can stop him, either!

Finally, he finds himself outside a door to the command room. He sees the corpses of several Bison troopers, all in their uniforms and some bloodied while others are not, littered across the floor by the door... and he smiles as an idea comes to mind. Before carrying out his idea though, careful not to get caught he peeks through the glass window on the door... and he hisses and narrows his eyes at Bison as he sees the bastard still attempting to have his way with Natalie. But he takes relief in seeing Natalie resist Bison's 'advances', and he is proud of her.

He then very carefully and quietly backs up away from the door... and picks up one of the non-bloodied corpses...
