In the corner when where the Twisted Pair lay in restless sleep, they laid entrapped with their dreams. Oblivious to the ‘tap, tap, tap’ of boots approaching them. The tall stranger stood watching them. His master was right about where the Twisted would be.  

He stood there just thinking, as a slight breeze from nowhere whipped against his cape. He sighed, thinking about the decision that he had to make. His hand rubbing the goatee on his chin as he remained deep in thought.  
   

“Your call entirely.” A voice said from behind him. He turned to see only two pairs of shinning eyes coming from a shadowy ledge a little distance away from him.  
“When did you arrived?”  
“Just now.” The second voice said.  
“You intend to stop me?” He asked them. A slight glimmer of bluish grey reflected from off the first figure.  

“If you harm them. Then it is my job to stop you.” The first voice answered, the dim light reflecting the grin of teeth.  
“What do you want from me?”  
“Your mind and your soul.” The second one said.  
“Oy. Be serious.” The first seemingly nudged the second.  
“Sorry. Heh heh. It is not what we want, but what you want. You will decide when you feel the time right.”  
   

“How will I know that you will not kill me when the time comes?”  
“A lot depends on what path you choose to take.” The first one said then returned to watching the Twisted Pair huddled together in troubled sleep. It seemed to shook it shaggy head and sighed.  
“The master would not be please if that succubus ruin everything.” It sighed.

In their dreams was no open field, no waterfall, no beach. They had being pulled out of their on going dream. In the darkness of their minds, the Twisted Pair stood back to back in a defensive stance as they share their linked dream. They were here instead of they should be for someone had intruded into their dream. And this is how they intend to greet that intruder.  

Mist gathered around their ankles while peals of laughter erupted from the darkness, the Twisted Pair remained on guard, a snarl on ‘Ryu’s face. A black void surrounding them, the silence broken occasionally by that same laughter, trying to drive them insane.  
   

“Come out of hiding!!!” ‘Ryu’ shouted. His eyes shifting left and right.  
“Not hiding…..” a female voice echoed back, another peal of laughter followed as the mist around their ankles thickened.  
“Where the hell are you then!!!” ‘ChunLi’ joined in trying to trace the voice to it owner.  
“….Everywhere …..yet nowhere….” It answered with another laugh.  
   

Snatches of light seem to show, and from the light shadows darted around.  
“What do you want!!!”” Ryu shouted, uneasy about the lack of qi from the owner.  
“Your mind, your body and your soul………”  
“You’re slow by a lifetime or two. I’m hers already.” He thumbed behind him where ChunLi is.  
   

<<  There…  >> ‘ChunLi’ indicated a direction to ‘Ryu’  
<<  How you know?  >>  
<<  Intuition.  >> ‘ChunLi’ shot back.  
<<  On three.  >>  
<<  Three!!!!  >> Turning towards the same side the Twisted Pair made a leap towards a shadow.  
“I would advise against doing that…….” The voice said.  
   
   

As they sailed through the air about to execute a flying kick, the Twisted Pair stopped abruptly in mid air as they slammed into a thick wall of air, throwing them back to the ground. Tendrils of mist reached up grabbing them, wrapping themselves around their limbs. Rendering their struggles futile.  

The thick wall of air rippled and vanished, a sinister laughter broke out, enjoying it mirth as the Twisted Pair continued struggling. A little distance from where the wall of air once was the mist show signs of disturbance. Tendrils of mist swirling violently in an anti-clockwise manner. A dark void opening up as a figure seemingly rose up from the dark void.  
   

Her jade green hair seem to take on a life of it own as it snaked around her face, her green eyes seem to laugh away. A seductive smile etched on her fair face. What she wore hides little and leaves nothing to the imagination. Modesty does not seem to hold meaning in her dictionary.  

Looking right into ‘Ryu’s eyes, she licked her lips slowly across her mouth, smacking her voluptuous lips in a mock kiss. While her hands traversing slowly all over her body while she breathe heavily. Every breath she took was a demonstration of what she has to offer. A low growl came from ‘ChunLi’  
   

<<  You really care about me.  >> ‘Ryu’ shot towards ‘ChunLi’  
<<  Shut up!! You seem to be enjoying this .  >>  
<<  Unless you’re the one doing it. Heh heh.  >>  

As if that succubus could read his mind, her features changes moving like liquid as she took on the fair delicate features of ChunLi. Extending her hand out to ‘Ryu’, inviting him to come over.  
   

<<  She don’t seem very bright.  >> ‘Ryu’ commented he remained strangely unmoved.  
<<  Is that not what you wanted?   >> ‘ChunLi’ snarled. The slut had used the image of her alter ego to seduce her mate. She simmered slowly in anger.  
<<  If I wanted you that way. I would have already done so those years back. I am more interested in your ‘present form’.  >> ‘Ryu’ hinted, raising his eyebrows.  

One more change came over the succubus as now she takes the form of Evil Ryu’s Bride of Darkness.  
   

“Now this is disgusting.” He looked towards his true mate shaking his head.  

The succubus snarled at the insult, her features melted once more turning her back to herself, she hovered up to ‘Ryu’s face. This hunk of meat so close yet so far away, she couldn’t taste him unless he lets her.  

“What is it about you?….” Morrigan’s slender hand linger on ‘Ryu’s face, relishing the look of disgust on his face whenever she touched him.  
“You want her.” Pointing at ‘ChunLi’  
   

“Yet you fear the _Implications_ set on the both of you by What’s greater than the Powers that be, should you even dare to take her.” Morrigan hissed, slithering her hand around ‘Ryu’s neck.  
“Accept me…. I can take her form if you want. She’ll still be yours and you need not fear the Implications.”  
“Let us go or you’ll regret it.” Ryu threatened  

“Oh Ho ho ho! Darling…. You are both in my hands now…..You can’t do anything. Dreams are mine to control, my realm…my domain …reality is what I want it to be …You can’t wake up unless I let you.  But alas…..that is not enough..” With her fingertips she traced the contours of ‘Ryu’s face.  
   

“… That is why I will need the two of you if I have to achieve the ultimate. With her (points to ‘ChunLi’) Her soul shall increase my powers greatly, her body will be my mortal shell. As for you. There is no need to tell you why. Other than the fact that you amuse me greatly..”  
   

“HA! Tough luck. No way am I going with you. Or is that not obvious enough for you?”  
“Then….poor little Chun-Chun here will suffer for you….” Morrigan cooed, floating backwards towards ‘ChunLi’  
“Touch her and I’ll tear you limb from limb!!!” ‘Ryu’ scowled  
“A soft spot. Have we?” Waving her hands in front of ‘ChunLi’. Morrigan pulled her hand away quickly and ‘ChunLi’s snapped her teeth onto thin air instead.  
   

“My… my. A feisty one. Does she do this to you often?” Morrigan reached out again, her palm a little distance away from ‘ChunLi’s chest.  

She shoved the air in front ‘ChunLi’ sending ‘ChunLi’ hurtling away from ‘Ryu’. Morrigan smiled as she hovered backwards till she was beside ‘ChunLi’. She raised one hand towards ‘Ryu’, and turned her wrist a hundred eight degrees and clenches her hand into a fist.  
   

The air between them rippled as a solid wall of air formed between them, shutting out all sound between them. A dagger materialised in her hand. ‘Ryu’s eyes were wide opened. Then she plunged the dagger between ‘ChunLi’ breasts. A silent screamed escaped from her lips. Her eyes stared unseeingly at ‘Ryu’  

“NOOOO!!! LI!!!!” ‘Ryu yelled. The tendrils around ‘Ryu’ released him. He rushed forward only to be stopped by a wall of air. He kept punching the wall of air to avail.  

Morrigan smiled as she mouthed a word to ‘Ryu’.  

‘Watch’ she seemed to say.  
   

Twisting the dagger around its wound she pulled it down to ‘ChunLi’ navel tearing open cloth, skin and flesh. She watched as ‘Ryu’ kept thumping helplessly against the wall. Morrigan tossed the lifeless ‘ChunLi’ to the ground. She flitted forward as the mist parted to create a path. She floated through the wall of air like passing through a thin veil. Face to face with ‘Ryu’.  
   

“RGGHHH!!!!!” ‘Ryu’ roared as she reached out to grabbed Morrigan, she easily avoided him as she faded from sight only to appear a little distance from him. Toying with him, making him chase her round and round.  

“Tire yourself out. Darling…. Beg me. Beg me and I will restore her to life.” Morrigan laughed, hovering around the area for Ryu to chase.  
Ryu roared ignoring her, all he cares for now is to avenge his beloved mate’s death. He will not rest till he has Morrigan’s blood on his hands and Morrigan as dead as a corpse should be.
