The VTOL arrived and Vega hurried outside. Alighting from the plane. Ken Masters.  

"Did you find her?" Vega asked.  

"...Yes and no...." Ken mumbled.  
   

The visitors alighted. A tall statuesque woman, her silver hair in a high strung ponytail. Her cold blue eyes scan the area. Behind her a blond hair young man slightly taller, roguish good looks. but his blues eyes carries the look of a man who had being through a large number of battles. Both had came prepared, wearing hiking gear.  

This strange pair made Sagat wondered: What is a refine woman in her early 30s, with such a commanding presence would be doing in the company with a man who has such a shady background. Vega was waiting for the third passenger, who never appeared.  

"She's not coming?" Vega asked them  

"Nope. Bog down by a mountain load of test papers, screaming for mercy for the whole of this two weeks." the young man said. Vega was somewhat disappointed by the no show of the third guest.  

"You do know what you're getting yourselves into right?" Vega asked  
   

"We have being brief about the situation." the woman answered.  
"Anywho she said if anything goes wrong she'll be here ASAP." Ken added.  
"Master? Can we put Elder Missy's life in their hands?" Sagat whispered.  

"Both of them are of the Inner Circle, so am I and so are the Twisted Pair. I trust them as much as I trust you. Or do you have doubts about my judgement?" Vega questioned.  

"No My Lord! I would never question your judgment." Sagat defended.  
"Sagat you will guide them to the Twisted Pair." Vega added. Sagat saluted as Vega left.  

"I know you are tired but we have to set out today."Sagat said.  
   

"Yeah yeah we know. Time is of the essence. Everybody gets in trouble if we can't find them in time." the man said as they they got on the jeep. taking them to the chasm, where they continue on foot beyond the bridge.  

Along the way Sagat had to ask them something to clear his doubts.  

"Zannah shimai. I have to ask you something."  

Zannah acknowledge his request with a nod.  

"I understand Ryu is affected by the Satsui no Hado as he is one of the more powerful Shotoken masters. But how did elder missy get affected by it as well?"  

"She inherited her powers from her father. But it was sealed off, the Satsui no Hado from the Shotoken moves Ryu taught her reawaken it and the threat that Gouki poses unleash it." Zannah answered.  

"?!?!" Sagat was puzzled still.  
   

"You know she was kidnapped the day after she was born. Went missing for three years before being found by the semi retired Shadowlaw assassin Gen. Powers like hers were meant to be trained since birth, three years would be too long to give a proper training, So her dad seal her power." Cole said.  

"But why can't Ryu change back and train her?" Sagat query.  

"She is afraid and confuse in her present state, to change back now may confuse her further. He knows that he has to keep an eye on her while he thinks of a way. If he loses her now and is unable to find her again in these two weeks, she would end up like Gouki instead." Zannah spoke.  

"We're here." Saget stop at the crossroads. "The spring is at the end of this path." pointing to the road to the left.  

"We go. you stay." Zannah said and left with Cole.  
   
   

Dragonspring Shadowlaw.  

The trees encircled the this peaceful spring. Legends has it that the breath of a sleeping dragon underneath this spring is what warms the water. This spring is rumoured to have potent healing ablities. Although many know of its ablities only a handful had made it here for the journey is a dangerous one as no guide would bring a tourist beyond the chasm.  

Fei Long for one had made it here, but it is not the spring he seeks but ChunLi. He spotted them, both dressed in black. Unmoving as they as sat beneath a large tall tree, sleeeping, Satsui no hadou Ryu's arms encircled around her. A little further across them was a little mountain of fallen fighters: Dan, Birdie, Sakura, Zangief, etc.  

Fei Long stood right in front of them.  

"ChunLi" he called out. "Leave him while you still can! I'll help you!"  

Shin ChunLi opened her left eye lazily to see who had interrupted her sleep. Fei Long gulped when he had her attention, he moved back a step. She closed her eye again seeing it was Fei Long.  

"ChunLi! Can't you see he's trying to corrupt you as well!" Fei Long shouted.  

The Twisted Pair glared him Fei Long took another step back.  

"Can't we even get some rest after being bugged the whole morning by them?" Shin ChunLi pointed at the others, she was slighted irritated.  

"ChunLi! Come with me." Fei Long offered. Shin ChunLi got up. Fei Long smiled.  

"Oh shut up will yer?" she asked, Fei Long was slightly puzzled and tried to speak again.  

"Messatsu Senretsu Kyaku!!!" Shin ChunLi shouted, rushing towards Fei Long, stampeded him with her deadly kicks, the final impact sent him flying towards the other fighters.  

Satsui no hadou Ryu applauded as walked over to her, impressed by her performance, she had learnt fast indeed.  

"How was I?" she asked with a seductive smile and a 'come hither' look. Hooking two fingers under her belt, Satsui no hadou Ryu pulled her towards him roughly, almost crushing her in a tight embrace.  

"Bad enough for a spanking. heh heh." he teased, playing with her collar, while she twist his headband around her finger.  

"Ahem....." came a familiar voice that caught their attention.  

"ZANNAH JIE!!!" they called out nervously, somewhat shocked like guilty students caught by their strict teacher. She awed them again.  

"NO!!! I don't wanna go back again!!! I've waited so long to be with him after all those years!" Shin ChunLi clung to Satsui no Hadou Ryu tightly.  

"Daddykins sent you didn't he? Didn't he always wanted me to follow in his footsteps, that's what I'm doing now!" she was looking for a way to escape capture.  

"We are not here to 'send' you back. The seal has already being broken. Let us help you. Little sister." Zananh said. Shin ChunLi eyed Zannah skeptically.  

"What makes you so sure that we won't break your cocky little necks right here and now." Shin ChunLi challenge Zannah.  

"You're welcome to try. But he won't let you, for he knows the consequences if you do." Zannah spoke looking her in the eyes. Satsui no Hadoul Ryu gave a weak smile.  

"Why can't he train me instead?" Shin ChunLi asked.  

"You have to come to terms with your darkside first. If you mastered your dark powers in your present state, you would end up like Gouki instead. I'm sure you have another role model in mind." threatened Zannah.  
   

"Knowing you two, you probably have some way to seal her up again once she's back to normal. I've long to be with my mate since the first time I sense her so many years back. We know we could corrupt you enough to join us. Together the four of us could rule the world. Saves everybody the trouble." Satsui no Hadou Ryu said.  

<  No way am I gonna lose her without a fight.  > he thought.  
   

"Do that and your babe could go psycho on yer in two weeks and end up like Gouki. Sides, I don't think you would like our little pal to come all the way here and whack the two of yer. You know how she is during these two weeks of tests." Cole threatened.  

"If we seal her up again her dark powers will eat her up from inside, so it is a lose-lose situation afterall." Zannah stated the fact.  
   

The Twisted Pair turn around and discussed this issue.  
“I still don’t trust them. Considering how he has what it takes to twist words.” Shin ChunLi grumbled.  
“They are right about the going psycho part. But there is more than one way of ‘staying here’” he hinted  

“What do you mean?”  
“One, you go back now, ‘she’ll’ be vulnerable for the next few weeks…….. Two, you still go back, convince ‘her’ to learn how to ‘come and go’ from ‘him’. Two is easier as you don’t have to fight over the body.”  
“Is there a three?”  

“Corrupt ‘her’ from within. This I do not recommend.”  
 “Sound intriguing.” She said as she stroked his face. Satsui no hadou Ryu seem to be weighing the pros and cons of sending her back.  
“…Don’t even try it. Too risky, anything can wrong.” He growled, he knew what's on her mind. Somehow he has this feeling that she's a sucker for punishment.  

“What? Afraid?”  
“Odds are against both aspects of you. Anything that can go wrong may go wrong. Too many risks involve, death is one possibility, stuck in limbo is another. Don’t you dare try it without telling me.”  
Shin ChunLi grudgingly agreed.  
   

"Fine. I’ll help her change back. But if the both of you lied to us. Then may heaven help the both of you.”  
Satsui no hadou Ryu was almost reluctant to give in.
