Coughing on a lack of oxygen, Ken is desperately becoming frantic. He knows if he isn't freed within seconds he will pass out. Bison's face shows a hideous grin with glowing dark purple eyes. A few quick leg snaps to Bison's side does nothing. His head now feels like it's burning. His only chance is to get Bison's arm low enough so he can get a footing on the floor. With both arms fisted together he raises them above Bison's arm; his spine feels ready to snap by being the only support of his body. "I will crush your lowly body into pulp, Masters. Then, I will get your friend, if Akuma hasn't finished him off yet." Ken had it after that. He felt the rush required to slam both hands down on Bison't forearm, just enough for his right foot to feel the floor. He then thrust it up off the floor, delving his right knee into Bison's stomach. The hit freed his grip from the hand and he continued around with a rising left foot to the face, then a right, and again. "TATSUMAKI SENPU KYAKU!" echoed out of Ken's mouth as the connected for 3 more shots, making it a six-shot ki attack. Not finishing his counter attack on the stunned opponent he broke out into his newest learned technique, "SHO RYU REPPA!" This attack smacked Bison for another five hits. The last one sent him reeling backwards, with Ken landing on one knee, grasping for some more air in his lungs. Bison felt a trickle of blood on the side of his mouth. All of a sudden his rage turns to joy, "Well well, so we did have it in us, didn't we?" Ken can't really respond due to his focus of breathing again. "Do you think you have won? I think not," Bison begins to teleport away, "I think we will meet again, young Masters. You have proven yourself worthy of my Shadaloo squad." All Ken can do is give an all-powerful rising middle finger. After his mind clears, he refocuses on Ryu, "Oh my God! Ryu!" Getting up again he heads back toward his friend to aid in their original quest.
Ken makes it back within a few minutes' time to see his ally on one knee, succumbing to a two-handed strongman competition. Akuma's eyes were like fire and his body emanated a dark-purple aura. Ryu was trying his best but the demon's power was too great. "Fall little boy! Feel how it is to be weak!" Akuma slowly pressed his strength on Ryu's hands, nearing the point of breaking them at the joint. Ryu's face was sweating like crazy but his expression was determined. Akuma saw his opportunity to try the killing technique, "Well, young Ryu, this is where I bid you farewell from this existence.....SHUN GOKU S..."
"HA DO KEN!" Akuma hears those words just as a burst of ki slammed into his back, forcing him to stop his technique and take defense, "Who dares interrupt me?" he says as he turns around, only to see a smiling Ken and then a fist fly into his face. It was followed by a swift backhand and finished with a self-sacrifice throw. Gouki landed backside to a tree. But he wasn't scratched; the tree, however, was almost on the verge of falling from the impact. Ken stares at his opponent, gives him a victory sign and yells, "Korega Jitsuryoku no sa te yatsusa! (This is the difference between you and me)." He then turns around and helps Ryu up, "How are you buddy?" "A little sore, Ken." "Later, pal. Right now we have to take out the trash!" Ryu gives him a reassuring smile. "Ken look out!" Ken turns to see a racing demon crossarm him in the face. Ken rolls back but isn't too bent out of shape. Ryu delivers a fierce kick to the passing demon which trips him up. Gouki turns immediately and attacks Ryu. An exchange of blows was received with the same amount of blocks. Each managed to get a shot or two in here and there, but no side had the advantage. Ken got up and joined his comrade. Akuma was skilled enough to defend off both of them. He almost began smiling at them. All of a sudden he teleported away from them and unleashed his dark powers, "MESSATSU GO HADO!" It connected with Ken and Ryu, just enough to throw them off balance. He came in and game a roundhouse to Ryu, then swept Ken's legs out from under him. "You two are pathetic examples of carbon-based wastage. Even combined you are far too young and inexperienced to topple me." Ryu refused to listen and got up and attacked again. He managed a clean shot to Akuma's face. All of a sudden Ryu stopped. He didn't know why but he almost felt Master Gouken inside of him; his ki flowed more powerful now. Akuma felt this rather strange presence also and stood there, wondering what was happening. Ryu then spoke, "Gouki, I still forgive you for falling to the tempations of the evil intent and for killing me, but I cannot forgive your evil influence on my disciples." Ken was completely befuddled, "Master Gouken?!" Ryu didn't know why he said it, but it certainly was someting Master would say. "No, brother. You are dead, and soon your pupils will be also." Akuma attacked with any lack of conscience or remorse. He, however, couldn't break through Ryu's, or Gouken's, defense. Ryu/Gouken unleashed a fury of quick and hard punches. Ken was up on his feet now and cheering whoever was fighting in Ryu's body now. Lastly, the original and ultimate or the Sho Ryu Ken's was execute. The one that Master didn't fully perfect, but was done effeciently in Ryu's body. A low left fist to the abdomen, "SHIN....", then two more right fists to the ribs and chin, "SHO RYU KEN!" Ryu's body was carried vertical about 20 feet, bringing with it Akuma's body on top of his fist. Ryu landed a second before Akuma's body came crashing down to the earth. However, the extreme amount of ki used for it made Ryu pass out, while the demon started moving again. "Don't think so," and Ken came over and gave Akuma a double axe kick to the rising body. The attack stopped Akuma and knocked him out as well. Looking down at Ryu, Ken gives Master Gouken a well-earned 'domo arigato gozaimasu', picked Ryu up, and carried him, "C'mon buddy. Our work is done here." Walking away from the battle, Ken turns around to see the demon's body is missing all of a sudden. He knew Akuma wasn't killed, but for the time being, he and Ryu could revel in their victory over Master's death. Time to go home.....
Everything that Dan was trying was to no avail. Jumps, rolls, and "Look is that Ryu over there"-finger point and run behinds. Sagat's limbs were just too massive and long to get close to. And he tiring out rapidly. Sagat was still, unfortunately, revved up. He kept delivering a vast arsenal of projectiles and body attacks. This was too great for anyone to hold out on. "Have to get behind him. But he isn't distracted for long enough." Just as he finished talking to himself, he felt a crack to the side of his skull, in the shape of a forearm. "What are you waiting for, you little maggot! Fight." Dan had little choice. Sagat missed a Tiger Uppercut again and as he came down, Dan gave him his patented Dan Kyaku attack. Sagat fell to his ass and wiped the dirt off his chest. He tried retaliating again but his attacks were too telegraphed. A Tiger Knee was placed rather efficiently into his gut, and that's when he felt the true anger rise inside him. Down on his knees coughing up blood, this was his opportunity. He seemed to notice that ol' baldy was very responsive to verbal abuse, so he had an idea. Standing up with some distance between them, he prompted Sagat's attention. Flexing his right arm 90 degrees, he extends his middle finger and speaks, "FOCK YOU!" He continued to shake his arm erratically for a few seconds. It worked! Sagat was so insulted by the taunt that he rushed forward with a jumping in Tiger Genocide. Dan blocked this attack and just as Sagat's body landed he jumped on his back, holding his head in a locked position. Sagat furiously swung his arms and legs back to try to shrug the little rodent off. He was flexible enough to strike some strong blows into Dan's body. "This is it Popeye. This is for my father." Gathering all his available energy left, he focused the ki into his abdomen until it was too great to confine. Then as he spoke his final chohatsu, "Yatta Ze! Oyagi!" that rang in Sagat's ears, the ki exploded outward, causing a blinding white aura around the opponents. The audience had to cover their eyes until the glow faded. A sonic boom sound was created from the explosion as well, pushing people down after losing their balance. The grass around the fighters was singed as well. When it all ended, both fighters lay face to the floor, smoking from the explosion. Since no fighter stood, the announcer was about to declare a draw when Dan began to move a little. The announcer looked at him to see if he was conscious. Dan was able to lift his face up enough to smile at the announcer, who proclaimer "K.O.! You win, Dan Hibiki." Dan then passed out again, satisfied at the decision. Those who cheered for Dan, and even those who didn't, clapped vigorously at the underdog win. Medical officials promptly tended to both fighters. Then, out of the woodwork, Adon goes over by Sagat. He bends down and whispers into his ear, "Now I am Thailand's kickboxing champion by default. I told you that your technique was outdated." Sagat failed to respond, but Adon knew that he heard it, unconscious or not. Dan had did it! He beat the odds and helped his father's soul rest for good. But, recovery was all he could do right now. Thus ended the Alpha fights, for now...........
