Sagat didn't seem to be scared of Dan. Dan rushed in with a couple of punches, but Sagat easily dodged them. Dan tried to land a kick on his stomach, but he blocked it with his leg and punched Dan in the face. Dan backed off, his face swollen.

Sagat smiled. "Just in case you don't know, I haven't even used anything near my full strength yet."

Dan ignored his remark. He jumped and tried to kick Sagat in the face.

"Tiger Uppercut!" Sagat yelled and hit Dan with a dragon punch. Dan fell to the ground.

"You can't even get close to me. Why don't you give up and let me challenge Ryu?" Sagat said.

"We have to help him!" Ken said to Ryu. "He's going to get himself killed if we don't!"

"No!" Dan exclaimed when he heard Ken. "This is between Sagat and me!"

Ryu turned to Ken. "You heard what he said. Let him have his fight." He looked at Dan. The silly attitude that he always showed had disappeared. His face showed determination and vengeance. For the first time Ryu saw the true fighter side of Dan.

Dan looked at his life-long enemy. I got to fight smart. I can't blindly rush him. He jumped again, pretending to throw a punch. Sagat did another Tiger Uppercut, but Dan was able to block it. When Sagat landed he launched him up, jumped after him, and hit him with a series of punches and kickes. When he finished he slammed Sagat to the ground.

Sagat felt pain in his body. This guy is more powerful than I thought. I need to finish him fast, so I can save energy to fight Ryu.

Dan charged again, and this time Sagat counter-attacked with a Tiger Knee. His knee hit Dan in the face, and Dan was stunned for a moment. Sagat reared back, collecting his energy, yelled "Tiger!" and threw a huge ball of energy at Dan.

Dan had no chance to escape whatsoever. The fireball hit him, and Dan felt as if a tank was running over him. He thought he was going to die. The pain was so great that he couldn't feel his body anymore. When the fireball disappeared Dan collapsed weakly to the ground.

"I told you. You can't beat me. You're as useless as your father." Sagat ran his finger along his eyepatch. "It was just my bad luck that he took out my eye."

The word 'father' brought a little life back to Dan. Father, I must avenge your death. I can't give up now. I must not let the person that killed you live. I must kill him with my own hands. Please, father, give me the strength to fight Sagat.

Suddenly, he felt strength in his body. He felt as if his father's spirit was inside him, encouraging him, guilding him to fight. He slowly got up. Father, we'll beat him, together.

"You don't know when to give up, do you?" Sagat said.

Dan, with renewed strength, plotted his strategy against Sagat.

Dr.Light was busy repairing both Rock and Roll. The dents in their body prevented him from repairing the interior, so he had to fix their body first.

"This Bison guy seems to be powerful. What do you remember, Rock?" Dr.Light asked.

"All I remember is that my attacks didn't seem to do much to him. He just reached out and grabbed me by the head, and I couldn't remember anything after that." Rock replied.

"You couldn't rememeber fighting Roll?"

"No. I don't remember what he wanted from me either."

"I think he wanted you to capture Dr.Light." Roll said.

"Why would he want to do that?"

"Maybe Dr.Wily is involved in this too."

"We'll check it out later, once I finish repairing you two." Dr.Light said. He turned to the dark man and the little girl. Dr.Light's wound-healing machine was fixing his wounds. "Are you okay there?"

Donovan nodded. The pain was gone now. He was meditating, trying to restore his power. Anita stood next to him, motionless.

Suddenly, a strong glowing ball of light appeared out of nowhere and blinded everyone in the room. When the light disappeared Rock opened his eyes and saw Bison.

"Bison! How'd you get here?" Rock exclaimed.

"Do I have to do everything by myself these days?" He held out his hand and with his pyscho power he sucked Dr.Light to him.

"Dr.Light!" Rock tried to save him, but Bison bounced him away with his power.

"He shall come with me." Bison laughed. "You should be happy that I spared your rusty robot life." He disappeared.

"Nooooooo! Dr.Light!" Roll cried.

Sagat was surprised that Dan survived his Tiger Cannon. I'm wasting my time. I'll finish him, once and for all. This time, instead of waiting for Dan to attack him, he charged at him instead.

Dan was ready for him. Sagat's losing his patience. I can take advangtage of that.

Sagat did a tiger knee. Dan ducked and Sagat flew over his head. He got up quickly and hit Sagat with a Gale Kick, his imitation of the hurricane kick. All three kicks hit Sagat in the face, and he slammed heavily into a tree.

This is my chance, Dan thought. I must hit him with all my strength. He used one of his most powerful moves - Hisho Burai Ken. He hit Sagat with a long series of desperate moves, and finished it with a dragon punch.

The dragon punch hit Sagat in the eye. He fell, his eye swollen shut. He couldn't see anything. He blindly threw out a punch, but he hit a tree instead.

"What's wrong? Can't see anything?" Dan laughed.

Sagat threw a punch at the voice, but Dan rolled away. He got up and stuck his arm out, showing off his biceps. "Haha! I should call you blind guy!"

Sagat blindly attacked again, and Dan rolled away. He saluted at Sagat. "Here's my impression of Chun Li. 'Gomen Ne!' "

Chun Li laughed. Ken stared blanky at Ryu. "What the heck is he doing?"

"Fooling around, I guess. This is Dan, after all." Ryu said.

"Go, master!" Sakura cheered.

Sagat was getting angry. He threw punches like a madman. Each time Dan rolled away from his attack.

"You want a souvenir for your loss?" Dan took out his photograph, signed "From the Greatest Fighter in the World, Dan!", and held it out. "Here you go!"

Sagat charged at his voice, and Dan used the photograph to cut Sagat across the chest. Blood flowed from the cut, forming an 'X' with the scar that Ryu gave Sagat before.

Sagat backed out, frustrated that he couldn't see to attack. Dan threw the photograph at him. "Keep it. Don't have to thank me."

Sagat growled, and dived towards Dan. Dan jumped and stuck his knee out, and Sagat's head hit his knee. Dan screamed out "Yahoo!"

Sagat fell to the ground, unconscious. Dan gave a thumbs up sign at Ryu, Chun Li, Ken and Sakura. "Alright!"

Sakura ran to Dan and threw her arms around him. "Yay! Master, you did it!" she kissed Dan on the cheeks.

Dan couldn't believe what was happening. This is the best day of my life, he thought. Thanks, father.

Ryu couldn't believe Sakura kissed Dan. Is this day getting weirder by the minute?

Chun Li looked at the unconscious Sagat. Damn, I wish I could take his soul. Too bad I can't reveal my true self to these guys. What a waste.

Sakura looked at Dan. His face was drowned with happiness. Enjoy it while it lasts, my dear, 'cause your soul will be mine.

Author's note:
Hehe...Dan is the hero! Woohoo! The super taunt at the end was a combination of the super taunt from the alpha and the crossover series. Sorry for my bad description for the taunt ( English is my second language you know ).Chap.6 won't be done for a while. I have millions of tests since the first report card term is coming up. Thanx ennui and Sliver Queen for the taunt ideas! Remember, suggestions are always welcome!
