RTT Chapter 29 / M. Bison's Attack Part 3

The chaotic battle between M. Bison's Dolls and the armed forces of soldiers from the American Military Forces and the small team from Interpol was almost like a scene from a modern day Western movie only that this was real and faked by movie actors. They spilt to the outside and onto the promenade decks and then up onto the upper deck outside in the vicious storm. Emily Rose and Kiara Galaway had just managed to disarm and take some of the dolls when they saw one of them dressed in red that looked familiar… and upon another glance. Kiara had some suspicions on her but then they were confirmed to be correct.

“Emily!!!” she yelled as she ran towards the girl. “Emily L!!”

But before she knew it, a throwing knife nicked her shoulder, and another nicked Emily Rose's face, leaving a bleeding cut. Kiara looked at the doll in red, hoping that she was wrong. But when looking into the face of the girl, she realized in total horror that she was correct. The girl was indeed Emily Life!

“What?! No!” Emily Rose said in disbelief as she looked into the face of her friend as the cut on her face began to bleed.

Emily Life looked so much different now: Her eyes were grey instead of blue, and her skin was pale. She had a stony, expressionless look on her face and was holding a sword that resembled a Japanese Katana, which was now stained with the blood of her enemies. Bison walked to her side and stroked her hair. She didn’t even flinch as she normally did when strangers touched her like that and stood there like a statue, her face stony and cold.

"What the hell did you do to her?!" demanded Kiara.

“It’s amazing isn’t it, don't you think?" Bison said. "Such a willful and independent spirit brought under control by the use of simple chemistry. I have to admit, I liked her spirit. But unfortunately, had she cooperated better in this state, I would have kept her this way.”

Emily Rose and Kiara felt their eyes watering up as they looked at Emily Life.

“WHY YOU!!!” Emily Rose screamed at Bison, throwing her fist out to take a punch, but Emily caught her and knocked her back with little effort.

“Emily, please wake up!! This isn’t you!! Please!!” Kiara cried out.

“That's just too bad Madam,” Bison said. “She only listens to me now. Your friend is now the perfect exterminator. Thanks to my subtle influence, reasoning with her isn't going to be easy."

"No don't!" Kiara shouted. "Emily resist it!"

Emily just stood there, saying nothing.

"Save your energy, young lady," "You're going to need all you can muster on the battlefield. And your utter annihilation is the soul mission her life."

"No way, that's our friend, we'd never fight someone like that!" Emily Rose shouted, getting up. Bison turned to Emily and gave her his orders.

“Unfortunately, as much as I would love to see this go on, I have other matters at hand in need of attention," Bison said. "As for you, lets see how you two can stand up against one of your own friends!!”

Then he turned to Emily.

“Emily Life, destroy them!!”

As if on cue, Emily charged forward and slammed her gloved fist into Kiara’s nose who fell back, her head reeling. She arbitrarily threw out a punch in Emily’s general direction, but she seemed to have predicted that she would do this, and reached up to grab Kiara’s hand and took her down with arm drag, before jumping onto her, hitting hard punches.

“OH NO YOU DON’T!!” Emily Rose yelled as she charged and grabbed her by the waist, intending to pull her off of Kiara, but Emily Life only swung her elbow back with amazing strength and hit her in the face, sending her to the floor. She raised her bloody Katana to slash her face but Emily Rose saw this and she and Kiara dove at her, knocking her over. They got in a few shots to her but they seemed to have no effect on Emily and she powered them off her like nothing. All three women stood up again in a stare down.

“To resist would be unwise,” Emily said in an emotionless voice. “Submit to the will… of Shadowlaw.”

With this, she raised her Katana again and charged at Kiara, who grabbed a chair to block the blow. She intended to use it to pull the sword away, but Emily again seemed to anticipate this, and she pulled her sword away before kicking Kiara against the wall. She felt a searing pain in her hand and screamed, realizing that Emily had impaled her hand using a throwing knife. Grimacing as the wound began to bleed, she pulled the knife out and swung to the side just as another one hit the wall where her face had been.

“Emily…” she rasped, standing up.

Emily charged at her like a ferocious tiger and lunged at her, throwing both of them outside. Kiara managed to throw her off and grab onto the railing, using it to kick Emily back. But she recovered quickly and dove at Kiara again, but then Emily Rose stepped in, catching her off guard with a flying kick to the head. Once more, Emily Life quickly recovered and charged at Emily Rose, this time the tip of her Katana caught her, leaving a terribly deep wound on Emily’s leg. She gasped in pain, falling as her head hit the railing, where she felt a wet substance in her hair knowing it was blood. She opened her eyes to look at Emily Life before she tried to fight back, her blows being blocked until Emily powered her down with one arm with a modified version of a ura-nage slam, planting her hard back first. Kiara rose to her feet, using what she had and was able to duck some of Emily's hard attacks and then unleashed a series of attacks of her own with rapid mixed strikes and chops and hard kicks before unloading backhand blow to the face before giving her a belly to belly suplex, Emily Life crashing back first into the wall. Emily Rose tried to rise up but collapsed, her eyes half open, unable to move from the pain and exhaustion.


In the Grand Staircase, Dirk Pitt, Admiral James Sandecker, Al Giordino, Rudi Gunn were being guarded by two unknown guys and some of the other armed soldiers. Then the two unknown guys revealed themselves after removing their armed helmets and gear. One of them was a woman in an Chinese acrobatic outfit, which was an embroidered vest, a unitard, trainers, studded wristbands and wearing a pair of ox horns unadorned. The other was a man with light blue eyes, a chiseled jaw, and a particularly tall flattop haircut along with United States flag tattoos on each arm and the uniformed of an American Airman with military rank dog tags.

"Who the hell are you guys?" Giordino.

The man and woman introduced themselves.

"Agent Chun-Li Zang, Interpol, Hong Kong Division."

"And I'm William F. Guile, operative with the United States Air Force."

"So these where the two you were telling me about, Admiral?" Pitt asked.

"Yes Dirk," replied Sandecker. "It was part of the backup idea that I had in mind and it's a good thing they're here and perfect timing too."

"We were to be with you at the beginning of the salvage operation but we couldn't due to Shadowlaw's alliance with Russia," Guild said. "But then other problems were countered when we were told about the sudden ambush attack on Meta Section Headquarters at Sideling Hill Tunnel in the Abandoned Pennsylvania Turnpike. Our sources told us that Bison was behind the attack as part of a distraction to throw you off course with the operation. But he was wasn't completely successful but the damage he caused was enough to create more havoc while at the same time Russia's battle with the United States continued to increase."

"Most of the trouble is being caused by the Russians," said Chun-Li. "Shadowlaw have only been used a decoy only to have them fall into their traps. However, thanks to Interpol and the American Military, we were able turn the tables on them."

"But the only thing we didn't know is that Bison would help out in trying to sabotage the salvaging of the Titanic and then try and take it away along with it's cargo, which me and Chun-Li have no glue about." Guile said.

"Thankfully we've arrived just in time before he could execute his plan." said Chun-Li.

"That's all very well and good to hear," replied Pitt. "But we're now caught in a hurricane and getting bashed left and right and now a fights going on! But again, thanks for the save."

"Thank us later," Guile said. "Putting Bison away first is our main priority."

"Be careful, he's powerful and could kill you!" Rudi said.

"We have dealt with him before in the past!" Guile said as he and Chun-Li went to find him. "Don't worry, we can take him on."


Meanwhile, Bison's dolls and the armed force soldiers were still going at it, like there was no stopping. Like a massive gang battle, they went everywhere despite the rolling and pitching of the Titanic was causing them to fall over at times. It was truly hell on earth. Back in the first class lounge, the human form of Titanic was still in state of depression and worried sick for Kane Smith. Everything she been told by Bison made her feel of wanting to despise herself, her name and everything else that she stood for. But Kane tried to reason with her, saying that Bison was just taunting her out of disrespect. Then the dictator came in with Killer Bee at this side.

"Your chances are now slim," Bison said. "Go ahead and surrender now and join us... or face my wrath."

"Never!" Kane shouted. "You'll never take us alive or use this ship for your own weapon of mass destruction!"

"What a pity," Bison said. "Killer Bee, show them what happens when they refuse my offer."

Just as Cammy was about to carry out her man's orders...

"Hold it right there!"

Cammy and Bison turned and there they saw Chun-Li and Guile. Bison widely glared at his long time arch nemesis who he had deep hatred for. Guild had a similar look on his face, knowing how much he hated the Shadowlaw dictator.

"Well, look at what I've found standing before me."

"Why, Willim F. Guile! It's been such a long time! I never thought we'd meet again, especially on this grand but rusted ocean liner! And Chun-Li, it is a delight to see you again as well!"

"Cut the welcoming crap, Bison! We're to take you away and put you behind bars!" said Chun-Li.

"You leave my master alone," Cammy said. "You can't stop us now, for your too late."

"We may have been from preventing you in coming here, but not in stopping you from completing the final phase of your plan," replied Chun-Li. "Once this is over, Guile and I will get my vengeance on what you did to Charlie Nash and my father."

"As for you Bison, I'm gonna rip your heart out!" Guile said.

"I'm afraid, I don't have one, Guile," Bison, giving a slight laugh. "You see, evil is a good career choice for it has a lot to offer."

Cammy looked at him as he looked back at her.

"Shall we, master?" she asked as if waiting for permission.

Bison only gave a evil grin.

"This has unknowingly made the perfect scene for a goliath battle Killer Bee... however, these fools have no idea of what they've got themselves into and there's no way we're going to lose this time! Anyone who opposes me or you will be destroyed!"

And with that, Bison removed his cape, tossing it aside as he and Cammy charged at Guile and Chu-Li. A classic four way battle had begun between the four Street Fighters. They erupted with fast punches and kicks, Bison blocking one of Guile's mid blows and shoved him back just as Chun-Li counted a take down by Cammy by rolled over to send her off.

"Come on, Guile, I'm still waiting for you to give me the heart transplant you mentioned!" Bison said.

"You'll get it sooner than you think!" Guile said as the two arch enemies locked up in combat, trading off series of attacks while Cammy and Chun-Li were scrapping out like two wild lionesses. Soon they spilled out of the first class lounge, making their way onto the upper deck outside in the vicious storm.
