A few members of the Inner Circle had accompanied Ryu and ChunLi, 

"Li jie do you really have to go?" Yuri asked 
"Yuri, we have being here quite a while, besides the Dojo's construction is almost finish and we have papers to fill. You are coming for our Opening ceremony after all." ChunLi smiled. "Don't give me those sad puppy eyes, little sister." ChunLi added. 

"Darn almost work. You and your bright ideas Jin." Yuri said. 
"Who? Me?" Jin defended 
"Why can't you open your dojo in Japan, Hong Kong or US." Jin asked. 
"And compete for an iron ricebowl with you guys. No, too many dojos in these areas. Sakazaki, Kusunagi, Mishima, Master Gen. Law, Ken's and so many more." Ryu answered. 
  

"Flight SQ 115 to depart for Shadowlaw in fifteen minutes. All passengers please proceed to Gate 8." the voice announced. 

"We will miss you." ChunLi said hugging Yuri, Jin, Zannah and Cole. 
"Take care of my young witch. Baby dragon." Zannah said as she hugged Ryu. 
"Won't let you down Zannah jie." Ryu said. 

The couple took their bags and headed to the Departure Gate. 
After checking in and everything, they found their seats, making sure that everything is okay they strapped themselves to their seats awaiting take off. 

"Finally we can have peace and quiet after months of staying in the city. Li." Ryu commented. 
"Yes. Its so good to be able to go home." ChunLi said. 
In a few minutes the plane took off heading towards Shadowlaw...... 
  
  

Shadowlaw International Airport. 

A few hours later, their plane had brought them to Shadowlaw. It was about 9am in the morning, so they decided to take their breakfast before heading home. 

"So how do you want to go home? Train? Walk? Jeep then walk?" Ryu asked. 
"I want to see how the dojo is." ChunLi said, sipping her coffee. "Mmmm strong coffee." 
"You sure you have enough?" Ryu asked with concern. 
"Yup, Worry about your own stomach though." ChunLi shuff a piece of fried fritter into Ryu's mouth. 

After a heavy breakfast the couple got on one of the jeeps. five minutes drive (ten minutes walk) from town, their driver slow down as they pass their dojo. In a month or so they would be able to open their dojo. Two disciplines under one roof. The jeep drove on it would take three hours to reach the chasm. 

Upon reaching the chasm they paid their driver. 
"And good day to you as well." the driver said before he left. 
There was a sign at the bridge: 

'All tourists are forbidden beyond this area, Enter at your own risk.' The couple ignored the sign and move on. Half an hour later they could see their home and the path that leads into the forest. 
  

Summerlodge, their home sweet home. Wooden fences picketed the lodge. On one side of the courtyard there was a large tree, part of its trunk had ropes coiled around it, the ropes were somewhat frayed from wear and tear. On a large strong branch of there was a swing. There was another thick strong branch further up, this one had the claw marks of a creature which seem to always hang from that branch. 

The courtyard filled with wooden dummies, near the woodshed was a well. a small vegetable and herb garden. The air fresh and familiar to them. Finally after so long they were able to return home.
