I proof read this one so it should be free of any major typos.


It has three scenes, I was going to post one scene at a time, but what the heck I waited till all three were written.


This story will feature (Seth, Morrigan, and M.Bison, with references to various other characters from Darkstalkers, SF IV, SF II, and SF III) and as a bonus near the end it starts to get a Resident Evil vibe going on *you'll see what I mean*.


 Underworld meets Underworld:


 Scene 1: The Party


     This night sees a gathering of men that would have any officer drooling for a promotion if he could pin even half the things these men have done on even half of them. This night club in Metro-City is already very exclusive, and this night the guest list is extremely private. These men in their business suits, the floozies hanging on their arms, some of those even being their wives, with their high atmosphere filled with social drinking, laughter, and overall party atmosphere would never betray the real reason they are here. These men are drug traffickers, weapons dealers, tech-thieves, corrupt officials, and many behind the scenes types from around the world. This is the largest gathering of such people in Metro-City's history, which is a sorted history on its own.


    Sitting at the head table of the room, is a man whose business suit hides a very unusual body, betrayed only by his head and face; with his silver hairless skin and black eyes. This is man is Seth, the leader of SIN, and this gathering is his attempt to re-establish connections lost by the fall of Shadaloo, however unlike the old ruler Bison Seth understands the need to create a business relationship, one where money speaks rather than fear. As he looks over the club at the many guests each mingling with each other on the open floor, at their tables, and even around the coat room, he knows they are building new ties with each other, new deals, which ultimately will be to his advantage.


    However something odd catches his eye, a flickering at the door. He rises from his table drawing the attention of everyone in the room, both to him and wandering which guest could be so special that he would greet them personally at the door. They of course tried to hide that they were making note of this.


      As they approach halfway across the room Seth turns to his assistant, "Tell me something Jasper, what do you see when you look at the door?"


     "Sir? That is Harrin Von Duran; he is the CEO of a German based bio-engineering company."


    "No, "says Seth, "I know who he is; we have been working with his company for years now. What do you see behind him?"


   "Um, Sir, that woman would be Mrs. Duran."


   "Mrs. Duran?" says Seth as though asking himself. He looks up at the security camera over the hall as they approach with-in speaking distance of the man and thinks to himself, "hmmm, vision adjustment, camera."


    Seth narrows his eyes as he sees the blond woman in the red sparkling dress standing next to Harrin Von Duran.


     "Welcome." says Seth, "to both you and your...wife. I do hope you enjoy yourselves."


     The bewildered man attempts small talk with Seth, who is constantly staring at the man's wife. Von Duran of course is too immersed in his own work and trying to sell it to Seth to really notice. Seth politely parts ways with him inviting him to mingle with the other guests as well.


     Back at the head table Seth has been eyeing Mrs. Duran as they mingle around the room with the other guests for over an hour. He turns to his assistant, Jasper, and whispers coldly, "That woman is not Mrs. Duran."


    "Excuse me Sir?"


   "I have been adjusting my vision all night, adapting it to try and see...something, un-natural."


    "Do you suspect a shape shifter, trying to infiltrate your gathering Sir? I'll call security at once."


    Seth puts out his hand stopping Jasper, "No, I have encountered shape shifters before. This is something different. I have seen those able to alter their shape as well as those who create illusions to hide themselves. I have been able to adapt my vision to see through all of those. I have even adapted my vision to detect those with special power and see that energy around them."


    Seth stops for a moment thinking before continuing, "Perhaps that is the problem. When I saw her at the door, I did not see a woman, I didn't even see a human, or anything I would call a biological entity. I saw a vortex of black and green flames. It seemed to want to draw me and everything else around it into it. Yet it didn't. It was hypnotic. Like a well of pure power, it was as if I was staring directly into a black hole and the sun at the same time. An in-escapable force yet brilliantly bright, wanting to devour and burn at the same time. I was forced to adjust my vision to that of the security cameras just to see what it was posing as."


     "Sir, what action would you like to take? Would you like the guards watch her to see what she is doing?" asks Jasper.


    Seth who had been leaning on his fist still looking at her straightens up and says to Jasper, "Even now I try to see, something buried under the surface, best I can see is what looks like a shadow shaped like the woman projecting her image. I seem to have created a strange blur resembling a cross between a shadow and a hologram in my eyes. The data is complicating me with a feeling I do not recognize. Something drawing me in, a burning in my data banks."


     Seth coughs to himself and sits up straight realizing what Jasper had said to him, "No Jasper," answers Seth, "I am not some cliché overlord wannabe like Bison. I will not fall into such a trap. Allowing some intruder to wander around as sensitive a meeting as this would be the act of a mad-man. No matter how strange their disguise and intruder is still an intruder, who knows what information they are seeking, or for that matter how much as been gathered all ready. I want you to have one our scientists escort Harrin Von Duran to the labs, have him ask him for advice on his products and potential future improvements. Make sure also that the scientist believes this is a legit discussion." He pauses for a moment, "In fact, make it a legit discussion. I might as well kill two birds with one stone. He will understand that his wife is not allowed to follow into such sensitive areas beneath the club. Have her wait for him in the private gambling parlor. I will be in there shortly, perhaps to keep her company. Invite her to a game of Baccarat."


      Unseen by anyone the blond woman in the sparkling red dress, referred to by everyone who has met her that not as Mrs. Duran, looks out of the corner of her eye at Seth, and flashes a quick unseen, smile to herself, the smile of a deadly predator.


 


Scene 2: The Confrontation.


    Mr. Harrin Von Duran was easily escorted with out incident or suspicion by SIN scientists to the lower levels to help them examine some of the results of the very machinery he sold them. Mrs. Duran was escorted away from the main hall to a secluded VIP gambling room. Seth came in shortly after her and sat across from her at the small Baccarat table.


     She leaned forward over the table revealing her cleavage, "So Mr. Seth, you trying to get me alone?"


    Seth stands and says, "Follow me." He leads her down the hall with two guards following behind, and down the elevator to the deep basement level. He escorts her into a large room filled with computers and technicians. He takes a few steps away from her turning to face her.


     Seth in a no nonsense tone says, "Drop the act; I know you are not Mrs. Duran. Who are you and why are you here?"


    "Why what ever do you mean Mr. Seth?" she says flittering her eyes and head around innocently.


   Seth narrows his eyes, "I know you are somehow altering your appearance in a way we have never seen before. With your skill you could be a great asset to our organization. We can offer you more than who ever paid you and besides..."


   He waves his hand to bring two guards standing at the door showing their guns. "If you don't betray your employer it won't be a happy end for you, and we will simply sample your data from your corpse through dissection. I'd much rather have such an interesting specimen alive however."


    She looks over at the men smiling, "I've seen bigger."


       She turns to Seth with a smile, "I've got a lot more tricks than just altering my appearance."


     The form of Mrs. Duran melts away like a shadow made of flames and water to reveal an even smaller woman. One with green hair and wearing an outfit that looks like it was bought in an Adult's only Halloween costume store, with wings that don't look like they could possibly support flight and another set of much smaller ones on her head.


    Seth crosses his arms, "Look however you want, you're choices are on the table. Agree to them and join us or die."


    Seth's vision is no longer as blurred while looking at her, realizing that this is her true physical form, yet somehow the data is trying to tell him he is looking at more than one person, and perhaps even a swarm of smaller life forms; and the energy signal is the same strange vortex as before.


    She holds looks him up and down, and standing provocatively with one hand over her breasts says, "You have nothing that would interest me. I prefer my men to be anatomically correct."


     "Do you think this is a game." growls Seth, "Well then lets play...SONIC BOOM!"


    Seth with a swing of his arms sends a sonic boom attack her way. To his surprise she somehow wraps her wings around her self and deflects it. As easily as they expanded they retract on to her back, with her now floating in the air. She laughs at him, a laugh that sounds both innocent and menacing at the same time, "Not much of a gentleman are you?" she says, "Don't even ask a lady her name before staring a fight?"


    "Well then," says Seth, "You are a fighter then aren't you? I suspected as much. After the incident with another who called her self Crimson Viper I would never fall for this again. First you sneak in, I catch you, and then see you are a fighter with assets I could use and integrate you into my organization, the whole time however you are working for someone else to try and bring me down."


    "You have such a silly imagination." She says


   "Fine then, if it will make you feel better then you can tell me your name at least before I kill you."


    "Well about time," she says, "I am Lady Morrigan of house Aensland. You can just call me Morrigan. Now then normally I don't play with Ken dolls, but I have my reasons. So let's see if you can keep me entertained for just a little while."


     Morrigan dashes in quickly; her wing wrapping around her arm forming a spike like shape with a crab like claw on the end that grabs onto Seth's mid-section. Before Seth can react to punch her the claw breaks off with a little green rocket sending him crashing into the far wall. The claw releases him and floats back to Morrigan fusing with her wings like a shadow merging with another shadow.


    Seth stands and vanishes in a yellow light, reappearing directly behind Morrigan. As he reaches to grab her with both arms her wings form two rockets blasting him in the face with green flames as she jets high into the air in the blink of an eye.


    Seth wipes his face and rips off his charred cloths saying to Morrigan as she floats high in the air, "You certainly do have some interesting special attacks."


    "Special attacks?" she says, "So you like to talk like you're in a video game?" Morrigan floats as though she were sitting in a chair with finger to lip thinking. She looks down at Seth, "If this were a game I'd have to say that all I used on you was a throw, and a dash."


    "Throw and a dash?" growls Seth, "I will teach you to fear me before you die." Seth teleports again, and again Morrigan vanishes in a flash of green flames.


     To the technicians the fight has become a blur, Morrigan a black blur with a green line of flames behind her like some strange snake coiling around the room and through the air, Seth constantly appearing and disappearing. The only chance they get to even discern two figures being brief pauses that last less than a second.


    One of the technicians at a monitoring station remarks, "Is that woman able to teleport as well?"


    "No," answers another technician watching the monitor rather than trying to focus on the blurs, "they are moving at incredible speeds, according to this read-out that woman's jets are putting out as much thrust as two hyper sonic jet engines, that means she could potentially fly at supersonic speeds, especially with such low body weight. Lord Seth's synthetic muscle fibers weren't built for such a prolonged stay at such high speeds. He has to be burning out. At this rate we may need to download him into a new body again as this one will become completely un-repairable."


     Seth stops shortly after leaning on his fist while crouched in the middle of the room, his body covered in gashes and large stab wounds with the silver of his body turning black around the wounds and creeping over the rest of his body. As he huffs while he experiences the closest thing he can feel to pain, his body too burned out and damaged to keep moving Morrigan reappears fifteen feet in front of him. She does a back flip and re-lands wearing a dominatrix outfit.


      She looks at Seth in a victorious pose saying, "Well you were more fun than I thought, we really should do it again sometime. Maybe next time I'll bring some toys."


      With a giggle her cloths melt away, reverting to her standard seductive costume and wings. She flies into the air vanishes; a green energy ripples around her body as she passes as though she were passing through a water's surface.


      Seth collapses on the floor, his entire body turning black as his technicians are quick to begin monitoring his mind downloader station, monitoring the exchange of his consciousness from the body to his computer terminal.


       A few moments later his voice comes over the speaker, "Inform my guests I had business to attend to elsewhere so had to leave early. Nothing that happened here is to leave this room, understood, and apprehend that fool Harrin Von Duran. I will find out exactly what just happened here."


 Scene 3: Bison's agenda


     New York City, a small gathering of men in a small room in what anyone would think was just another office building. These men are doing something they hadn't done with this man at the table for years, and it has them on edge. For the last few hours they have been playing poker at the long rectangular table in Bison's office. Bison sits at the head of the table with a turned off screen on the wall behind him.


     These men had for the first few hours been discussing the prospects of their various business relationships with each other and Shadaloo. This set-up however is very un-usual. Some of the men there figure Bison must have completely snapped. Or at least is trying to bring back some of his methods from his early days, perhaps as a response to the break off group SIN's more social approach towards its clients and partners.


     However after several hours some are beginning to get the feeling they are being held there, what with the armed guards at the door and Bison sitting at the head of the table closest to the door, showing no signs of concern for the game yet not discussing any real new business; which is what he had called them there fore, or at least told them why they were there. Oddly enough even Bison seemed through out the night to be getting impatient, as though he too were being held there, or at least waiting for something.


    Partway into a hand a call comes over the intercom, "Lord Bison, our spies with-in SIN have just reported in, subject MP1S has destroyed Seth."


    This calls the attention of everyone there, as Bison pushes the button on the intercom, "Has she reported yet?"


    "Yes Lord Bison, she is standing by here, and is making us all a little nervous sir."


   "Very good, give her the signal that I have her payment and am ready to receive her in my game room."


    As Bison says this a green light appears above the table as Morrigan descends from it, like a beautiful siren descending through a pool of water. She lands standing on the table, and crouches down to Bison, "Okay Big boy I put down your overgrown action figure. Or he is just another one of your dollies that would rather not play with you?"


     To everyone's surprise Bison doesn't respond in anger as he normally would, instead signaling one of the guards to come over.


    The well dressed man pulls a large envelope from his vest and hands it to her saying, "On behalf of Lord Bison, I present your tribute your majesty."


     After saying this clearly rehearsed line the nervous man quickly backs away to the door after a short bow when she takes the package. Morrigan opens the package and takes out what looks to be a CD case, the man sitting down the table to Bison's left, yet further down than where Morrigan is standing could partially see what she was she is examining and is genuinely confused by it.


     Morrigan smiles broadly then with a straight face says to Bison, "you know if this doesn't work or you double crossed me I am going to come back here and kill you."  With that she vanishes just as she arrived.


     One of the other men, a man who secretly has a representative of his group at the SIN meeting speaks up, "Lord Bison, what exactly was that, and...what was that about destroying Seth?"


     Another chimes in, "Yes, Mr. Bison was that one of your latest creations? This MP1S your man mentioned over the intercom?"


    Bison crosses his arms and smiles, "That gentlemen was the devil herself. As some of you are aware we began final stages on a project some months back to create a system that could track the strongest Ki signatures on Earth."


    He turns and with a remote he had hidden under the table activates the screen behind him, on it from top right to bottom left it showed still images of, Akuma, Gouken, Oro, and Gill.


    "You can thank these four and others like them for the project going underway." He says, "Especially the one called Akuma. I had used the World Warriors tournament to bring in the strongest fighters in the world for my projects, to create super-human soldiers and recruit these fighters as my own enforcers. However it became painfully apparent to me that while the tournament attracted strong fighters, the strongest ones had no interest in them, and the few that did show up were drawn by other fighters that were participating."


    Bison noticed the worried look of the Illuminati representative at his table who is going pale looking at the bottom right corner of the screen.


    "Oh yes," says Bison, "Gill, as he calls himself, the true leader of the Illuminati. He had recently run a private tournament. One by invite only. Trying to bring together fighters for some evolved future of humanity plan; hmmm, a man driven insane by his own power."


    The Illuminati representative stands and slams his fist on the table, "Bison! If you are so aware of Lord Gill you would know he is the strongest being on Earth!"


    Bison smiles and starts laughing, a laugh that turns borderline psychotic before he stops, "Strongest Being on Earth you say? I will forget your impotence just so you can report back to your bosses. Did you forget what I just told you? We created a system that detects the strongest powers on Earth, and he is about number 20 or so. That woman who was just here, the one my scientists dubbed MP1S? Her real name is Morrigan Aensland, and she is quit literally the ruler of Hell. The title MP1S is something of a remnant name my scientists slip up and call her still from when we were tracking her. The name was something of a joke for them, meaning the most powerful one's signal. That woman, is....rrrr, I hate to admit it, that woman is...the most powerful being on Earth."


     The man who had seen what was in her hands asked, "Lord Bison, if that is true, and she is indeed the devil, and I assume from what has transpired that she also took out Seth?"


     "Yes," answers Bison.


   "Well," says the man, "then what was that you paid her with? It looked like a CD, as your clients perhaps we should be let in on this deal you made. I don't imagine us being here was a coincidence with this timing."


     "Astute as always," says Bison, he clicks the screen to show three odd creatures, "These," he says, "are Darkstalkers, you already saw Morrigan, the others here are Demitri Maximoff the second most powerful being on Earth, the readings have jumped a few times with the last one being on the same level as them, I have learned this odd blue man is called Jedah. They would be the three highest Ki signatures we have detected, there are several more below them who are still higher than even myself or that self pronounced Messiah Gill.


     As for what I paid that woman with; it was a video game, some hard to come by game about a singing princess and puppets or some such nonsense. Imagine our surprise to learn the strongest entity on Earth loved video games, and would be willing to eliminate my enemy at the cost of some game she couldn't find in stores. With great power comes great insanity it seems." Bison's wide wild eyed smile alarms the men.


     "If I may sir, if these beings are so strong and so unstable then how are we to make use of them?" asks the man.


    Bison clicks the screen again to show a slew of odd creatures from zombies, ghouls, generic cat-people, skeletons, ghosts, and even mutated humans.


     "These are how." He says, "I myself tested the strength of a cat girl, not the ones shown here, no I tested the actress Felicia. She was amongst the top twenty strongest Ki signatures. I had to see for myself what one was capable of. And I have to say, some of them are a lot stronger than others, for no apparent reason that we have yet found other than naturally so."


      Bison pauses for a moment and clicks off the screen, "You should all be well aware of the growing number of cat-people and similar creatures making themselves known to the public, yet they are no where near as strong as that woman Felicia, or those three others. We have seen several enhanced humans as the government calls them appear in the tournaments, we have made such people the focus of our bio-engineering super-soldier projects. However I am proposing we include these more supernatural elements to the project, unlock the secrets of their power, their immortality."


     Bison stands and with broad gestures says, "Gentlemen what I am proposing will put every tactical weapon we have ever made to shame, every android, every cyborg, every enhanced human, all of them. Imagine cloning these creatures; imagine unlocking their hidden potential and making armies of them as powerful as those at the top. Tanks, jets, missiles, all that power in the body of a man. Now imagine they are undead husks whose minds are completely under your control. Shape shifters able to replace people in power or sneak in un-noticed amongst trusted officials, assassinations and coupes made easy. Our greatest dreams come true at last, growing soldiers in the lab, or raising the already dead to fight fearlessly into battle, and even enhancing them. I orchestrated this entire night to demonstrate just how effective one can be when given the right insensitive. Now imagine that power completely under our control.


      We need no longer create enhanced human clones which have proven troublesome and un-trustworthy, or bio-androids. We will take the low end monsters and improve upon them, give the unthinking beasts and walking dead the same power as these nobles and Darkstalkers as they call themselves. The minds of loyal dogs and the powers of weapons of mass destruction, we will thus reshape this world to our will and to our mutual benefit with out fear of any armies of super-human fighters getting in our way."


    Bison's speech was met with a standing applause and congratulations, most of them giving him their full support for the project. The Illuminati member feigned interest. However when all was said and done this man was more worried than he had ever been. Outside in his limo he ordered the driver to go to "Site Gamma".


       A sound proof window rose up separating him from the driver as he took out his cell phone. On the phone he called a number he never wanted to call with bad-news; speaking into with a nervous voice, "Lord Gill, we have a problem."

hey look what I finnaly got done.


This one has four scenes. and while it does do a little name dropping we will see the following characters


Elena: from Street Fighter III


Anakaris: from Darkstalkers


&


Shadow: from Darkstalkers


As well as a few monsters from my own series, granted two of which are too classic to really call mine.


anywho, here is the story.


Elena's journey through the Sands of Anakaris.     


Scene 1: Down the mummified rabbit's hole.    


    High above the dusty land of Northern Africa Elena sits in her first class accommodations aboard an airliner headed for Egypt. She crosses and re-crosses her blue slacks covered long legs as she waves her head smiling thinking about her up-coming fights in the African preliminary matches for the up-coming World Warriors Tournament. One wouldn't guess that beneath her slacks and red-tank top she was already wearing her strap fight clothing ready for the fights, even though the preliminaries don't begin for two more days.


     Upon arrival she is quick to get settled in her hotel room, and get some food shopping done. As she sits her in her small modest room chomping on an apple watching the local new programs announcing the preliminaries and other local events a strange hum catches her attention followed by a yellow light that engulfs the entire room seeming to consume the walls, floor, and everything else even sound as it closes in on her. She stands to run just as it engulfs the very floor beneath her and the chair she was just sitting on.


     As the light clears Elena finds her self standing in a very strange place, the only familiar thing remaining from her room the apple in her hand. She stands on a sandstone walkway that looks to be floating above a bottomless expanse filled with red and yellow clouds. She can see in the distance that the walkway is a road that crisscrosses the area leading to stairs and large structures that look to be buildings like something out of ancient Egypt sitting on top of floating islands of rock. Even weirder are the Pyramids floating out in the open expanses with out any roads leading to them, however unlike normal pyramids she has seen in Egypt these look to be two Pyramids each, with their bases connected, like floating geometric diamonds.


    As Elena stands in awe gaping at this scene and even looking up at the statues of Horus and some Pharaoh with a hood crown she doesn't recognize she has yet to notice the two very short creatures by her feet.


    A small choppy like chattering teeth with each word speaks, "miss, miss, welcome, welcome."


    Surprised Elena looks down at the weird things like two dwarf mummies in bright white bandages and sandy brown faces like spoiled bananas. Elena laughs a little behind a bright smile at how funny they look standing on their stick thin legs and stick thin arms waving as they speak sticking out like toothpicks from their almost square marshmallow like mummy wrapped bodies.


    "Uh, hi." She says leaning over smiling, "what a funny dream am I having, you are too cute."


   "Miss, miss," says the chattering creature, "This is not a dream, you have been selected by the Great Lord Anakaris to join our people in paradise. Here you will live amongst other chosen ones as part of the Great Lord Anakaris' people, as part of his great plan."


    The other small mummy hands her an envelope and says, "miss, miss, in here is your new address, look around, explore, this is your home now. We know you'll be happy, yes, yes. Miss your old home you will, yes, but things will be better here. Happy you will be."


    Elena scratches the back of her head in an exaggerated pose, "uh, sure. I'll just look around. This place does look really neat I guess I can visit. But I really must be getting home at some point."


     Elena walks away waving at the little creatures saying to herself, "wow, this place really is huge." She looks at the paper in her hand and thinks about her family back home and the preliminaries, "I'll just look around a little, those little guys said I was supposed to stay here. Na, they must have the wrong person, I'll just talk to that Lord Ana...what's his name when I'm ready to go home, I bet it's just some mis-understanding, as the guy in charge he should understand."


     Elena spies a complex lined with shops, "Oooh, but first things first. Let's check this place out!"


     As she eyes a few nice items in a few shops she realizes that she doesn't have any of the money the locals are using. The lady behind the shop counter says to her, "Poor dear, you must be a new arrival. They leave all your new arrival money at your new home, and are even so kind as to have a job assignment waiting, and of course you can always open a shop on the side if you want."


    Unbeknownst to her another figure was watching her from above through a magical golden caldron. Standing over this pool in the shadows of an ancient crypt this figure speaks in a deep commanding voice, "This one has great potential power inside her, much more than is normal for a human. With her potential power, and beauty, she would make a great addition to my harem. Yes, as my concubine she will do well to provide me with a son fit to rule the fallen corrupted world of mortals. So speaks Lord Anakaris!"




Scene 2: The Rebels:


      Hours have passed; Elena had found the small modest apartment she was assigned, a simple stone room with only a bed and window overlooking the streets with the floating pyramids in the distance, as well as the local money. As she walks through the shops looking for some souvenirs before she heads to the palace to speak with Anakaris, intending to trade the cash she was given with the equivalent back home to pay them back. She still can't believe she was given paper money, and occasionally cracks a smile as the front of the money shows a muscular Pharaoh with a hood crown and on the back a large mummy with the same hood and pyramids on either side of him.


    She sits on a bench at the end of the plaza looking over her basket of goodies she takes out something that kind of resembles a strawberry, except that it is sky blue, has little lumps instead of seeds, and is about the size of a pinecone. As she is enjoying the unbelievable juicy taste of this fruit was told is called a Twilight Strawberry she is approached by a man who whispers to her, "Are you Elena? The new arrival?"


    Elena looks up at him with her mouth full saying something muffled and nodding her head.


    "I heard from some of the shop-keepers you were looking for a way back to Earth, correct?" he says.


    Elena swallows her food and says, "Yeah, I was just going to go by the palace and talk to the guy in charge about it later."


    The man shakes his head, "Pharaoh Anakaris hand picks the people he brings here, that monster would never let anyone leave. I came here just a few weeks ago, I know you are Elena I saw you fighting in last year's African championship Tournament. I know you don't want to stay here, but I don't think you fully understand what is happening with this place. But we can't talk about this in the open."


    He waves his arm for her to follow him. She shrugs her shoulders and takes a bite of some delicious honey bread as she gets up and follows him.


    Back in the rebel base they explain to Elena that Anakaris has been taking people into this strange world for millennia. Supposedly choosing only souls he finds worthy to keep the population of "his" people going.


   "Okay," says Elena, "well, I can dig that he's immortal. This place is too cool, and with all the magic stuff and wonderful food, yeah I can see the whole immortal ruler of a magic kingdom thing going on here. So what are you guys, like the secret rebels guys?"


    The man that led her there walks between her and the leader of the rebels that had been talking about the history of this land, "I'm sorry sir, Miss Elena here just arrived, and is one of the greatest warriors in the world. I told you she had a cheerful outlook on life. I just think she just doesn't know the real depth of this situation."


   "uh, I am right her you know." She says, "Okay, okay, I'm sorry. I'd like to be friends okay? So go on, you were saying something about the big magic guy who rules this place pulling in worthy souls."


    The leader coughs, eyes the man that brought this strange woman to their base, shakes his head and continues, "Yes, he was bringing those he called worthy souls to this place. However recently he started to bring in many more people than normal, a lot more, we have even seen people from Earth's other than our own come here. In fact our spies with in the palace tell us he has even been bringing over monsters, giant snakes, living armor, walking skeletons, and all manner of strange beasts and demons. He has been speaking with his generals lately. Anakaris is planning on invading Earth, he is raising an army. Our sons, and brothers, all able bodied men and women are being drafted into training for his army, some even augmented to have supernatural powers. And then there are those like you, who have super-human abilities and are brought here."


    "Uh not really." Says Elena, "I mean, yeah I'm strong and fast yeah, but you should see my friend Sakura, she can throw fireballs from her hands. Oh yeah you should see some of those guys, like this guy who can fly, this green guy was all electric, this one guy could spit fire, and these blond guys who had like this sound blades from their hands, and this other guy was running this one tournament he was like half red and half blue and could throw fireballs and ice balls..."


    "Can I continue please." grunts the man.


   "Oh sorry." She says.


   "As I was saying," he says, "Our spies have discovered that Anakaris has a direct interest in you, in fact we tried to get to you before his creatures did. Apparently Anakaris wants you to join his forces. You could be of great help to us, and why we had to get to you first. Only Anakaris knows where the portal back to Earth is, or the mechanism he uses to bring people here. You could help us find it and get back to Earth to warn them, or better yet help us escape this damned place."


    "Well," she says, "I don't want to be part of some civil war, but I'll see what I can do okay. If he really is planning to invade the world, I'll go back home and warn them. Or better yet..."


     She stands straight proudly, "I'll show this Pharaoh that the only true path to power is friendship, and if I have to I will show him that in a fight." She kicks the air high with her long strong leg *hiyah*. She waves and says, "bye now, I got a mission." leaving the rebels in stunned silence.


      Back at her apartment she finds the same, or at least two of the same kind of creatures that she saw when she first arrived waiting for her.


   "Miss, miss" they say, "we have great news for you; you have been invited to dinner to dine with the Great, All Mighty, Lord Pharaoh Anakaris!" 


Scene 3: The Pharaoh's Offer.


      Elena was treated like a princess, the palace servant girls had even waited on her in a massive lavish marble bath. And now she sits on the far end of an oddly medieval styled table, standing out in the otherwise Egyptian styled palace, save for other odds and ends such as the bath which was Grecian in style. Now she is wearing noble Ancient Egyptian robes given to her after the bath and sitting across the table from a man she can't help but gawk at.


   From what she had been told, and the way the rebels had acted she was expecting some giant ogre, or snake monster, or something other than this bronze skinned god of a man sitting before her. Even with her often upbeat and outgoing personality she can't help but blush, especially as this man who looks to be sculpted out of stone is only wearing a yellow and blue stripped weighted loin cloth, giant anklets, and yellow and blue stripped Pharaoh's hood crown.


   Waiting on them as the eat are numerous palace servants, mostly young girls, the same ones who had helped her with the bath earlier, and those same small mummy dwarf creatures. The man across from her is Pharaoh Anakaris who had been speaking for some time now about the glories of his kingdom, typical rich guy behavior to Elena.


    Elena nearly spits out her salad when Anakaris abruptly says, "I want you to join my Harem." in his deep echoing voice.


    "uh", says Elena, "I'm always looking to make friends, but that's a little friendlier than I was looking for."


    Anakaris holds up his hand, "Its alright, It's a heavy choice I'll admit. To become a wife, to a god, you of course won't have any of the responsibility as my First Wife. You will be treated to all the luxuries of my palace, immortality would even be yours if you wanted it."


    Elena staggers trying to think of a nice way to decline when he holds up his hand again, "Its alright, I will give you until tomorrow to make your choice. Until then you are free to move about the upper floors of my palace, explore all that could be your home, be waited on for what ever you need at anytime tonight. My servants are at your disposal. I will leave you to the palace in peace, for I will be heading off to my private rooms."


    Far off in the depths of the Palace in a crypt like labyrinth lighted by floating orbs of dim light above unlit torches Anakaris walks to his tomb, to his sarcophagus. As he approaches the hidden chamber a shadow moves along the walls, detached from light and darkness in an unnatural manner. The shadow looms off the wall as a massive torso with an elongated dome for a head and long arms that flow back into the wall. The thing that would be the head on this shadow twists like a sock puppet towards Anakaris, two red glowing slits for eyes appearing on it.


     Anakaris stops and speaks to this apparition as normally as he would any one in his palace, "Shadow, watch my guest, keep her safe if need be. I will not have those traitors in my kingdom interfere with my plans."


Scene 4: Finding a way home


     At first Elena walked about the upper-levels enjoying the sites of the palace. However as the day wore on, longer than any normal day, as by now despite the ever continuous golden light it had to be close to midnight. However Elena knew she had to find a way home soon, other wise she might have to take up Anakaris on his offer, not that she wasn't tempted, but she has no intention of staying in this weird place forever, she has a life, family, and friends to return home to.


     Elena is surprised at the lack of security in this lavish palace as she sneaks her way down some stairs, the few servants she has come across being very informative about how to find her way around. She guesses this is because Anakaris ordered them to do what ever she asked. However here in the depths of the more labyrinth like halls she hasn't seen any people. She leans on the wall next to a giant stone face with giant white pupil-less eyes and a strange stone twirl mustache. 


     "I'm starting to think that guy was wrong, I don't see anything that looks like a portal back to Earth anywhere. Maybe I should just ask someone."


    "That would not be a good Idea." Comes a large grainy voice causing Elena to jump back.


    "Huh? Who was that?" she asks looking around.


   "Me." Says the giant stone face moving as though the stone was skin and very large wedge shaped teeth.


   "Who and what are you?" asks Elena walking up to it looking around the edges to see how it works.


   "Who I am and what I am is the same thing." answers the face, "I am a Tableot."


    "A tablet-a lot?" she says puzzled.


"No.", it says, "a Tableot, I am a holder of information. I am tasked with knowing all there is to know about this palace"


 "Oh." She says, "So you're like the information center for this place?"


  "Yes," it says, "I am here as a keeper of the palace secrets and basic outline, I can guide one back to the upper-levels or anywhere with-in this kingdom they want to go. Or answer questions for those down here."


   "Okay and why would someone trying to keep secrets have someone like you hanging on the wall in a hallway?"


   "With so many new arrivals to the Pharaoh's army and to his servants who must pass through the palace it was predicted some would get lost from time to time, so a Tableot has been placed in several key locations to redirect the lost back to where they need to be."


    "Oh." she says, "hey, what was that you said first though? About not asking people where the way back to Earth is?"


    It answers, "To ask such a question amongst Anakaris' loyal servants could only lead to being caught, and as I am what I am I can not stand to see a foolish thought go un-answered regardless of who or what has summoned me."


    Drawling out her words and rolling her eyes she says, "Yeeeaaaah, okaaaay."


    "Soooo," she says, "So there is a portal right?"


   "Yes."


   "Okay and can you tell me where it is?"


   "No." It says bluntly


   "awww, why not?" she ask giving puppy dog eyes.


   "While I will not stand a foolish thought go unanswered I can not intentionally betray my summoner."


    "Maybe I can help Miss Elena." comes a soft female voice behind her.


    Elena turns to see a young Egyptian girl with stark black short hair standing there, she recognizes her as one of the girls who had waited on her as she bathed earlier in the palace.


    "Oh hay, you were...sorry I forgot your name." says Elena embarrassed.


   "Shara." Says the girl, "I heard you were wandering around and followed you to see if I could help you Miss Elena. Those Tableots are well known for giving straight forward answers on things that are considered common sense, but can be a really pain when it comes to anything specific. I heard of one even being cryptic about a cake recipe once."


    "Ah," says Elena as she claps her hands together, "Will you help me? Please."


     "Of course," says Shara, "I did just say I could help."


    "Sorry," says Elena.


   "Huh?" says Shara, "oh, I didn't mean to sound...mean."


   Elena grabs up Shara into a massive hug lifting her off the ground before setting her down, "Great!, now were friends. Now lead the way. Let's find that magic portal. Oh, this is going to be a great adventure!"


   Elena follows behind as Shara leads her down the halls, not once stopping to double check that she is going the right way, as if she has the entire map in clearly in her mind.


   Elena stops, "Uh, Shara, I don't mean to sound all pessimistic and all, but you don't have a map, and we have to have made like twenty turns by now..."


   "Huh? Oh yes," says Shara, "Don't worry; I have been exploring these passages for some years now. I know my way around perfectly. In fact right past this door we will be outside again."


    "But we're like really far underground aren't we." asks Elena.


    Shara giggles, "What underground? This whole place floats in the skies of Oblivion."


     She opens the door to the golden light outside to an odd court yard with a stone bridge going across a walled in area with what looks be black mist below. As they carefully cross Elena sees shapes slithering in the darkness below, she sees strange yellow brown snake like creatures with wedge shaped heads filled with oversized white square cartoon like teeth propping the mouths open. And to her what look to be cloth black garbage bags strapped to the back of their heads. As one rears up over the black mist she can see that they also have short monster movie type dinosaur three clawed hands.


    "Be careful." says Shara, "the Ka-Vipers also have a claw on the tip of their tails, and can bite through stone. It's best they don't think there is an easy meal up here or we'll have a very dangerous fight on our hands."


   They silently make their way to the other side and back into the dark halls that make one think the palace has an underground.


   "So," says Elena looking around, "This Anakaris guy actually built this place to give the illusion of looking like its underground when its all really floating in the sky?"


    "Yes," says Shara, "He wanted a feel of an ancient cursed crypt to deter anyone from going this way."


    "cool," says Elena, "They really had me fooled."


    As they turn down another flight of stairs Shara shushes Elena, "we must be silent here. You see the lights this way are brighter than the rest of the passages? Well that's to make the shadows behind trespassers darker as well as any other objects. That way no one is focused on motion in the darkness so the Ba-Vipers can sneak up on people in their own shadows."


    "Uh," says Elena, "you mean those giant things we passed."


   "No," says Shara, "those were Ka-Vipers. Ba-Vipers look like dark black slithering shadows no bigger than a normal viper, they become solid only right before they strike, their venom, which is more like a virus, can even infect zombies. So keep to the center of the hall and don't let your shadow touch the shadows of the lamps the snakes are hiding there."


     Elena and Shara silently walked down the bright hall carefully watching every shadow, Elena even saw some slithering in the shadows below the lamps. Near the end of the hall pillars had been placed so their shadows criss-crossed the floor, making it impossible for one's shadow not to touch them as jumping over the shadows so one's own shadow doesn't touch them is techniquelly impossible.


    "Hmmm," hums Shara, "well," she looks back at Elena, "heh, I guess they added this when I wasn't looking."


      Elena looks around and says, "I think I can make it, those snakes aren't any faster than a normal snake right?"


     "Uh, yes" says Shara.


    "Well," says Elena, "I could make this jump by jumping off the wall faster than any snake could strike, but I won't leave you behind. This is going to be very hard carrying you too."


   Shara looks worried, "then go with out me, the Portal room is through the doors at the end of this hall. All you have to do is put your hand on the dial device in front of it and say the name of your world; it's Earth CCSFRF. I will...go back."


    Elena sees the sad expression on her new friend's face, "Do you like it here?"


   "Huh?" she says with a look that seemed to say the thought never crossed her before.


    "Do you like it here? Do you have family, friends?"


    "Well," she says with a pause, "No, actually, I am contracted to obey Anakaris...I am a slave here."


    "Then come with me." says Elena, "We're friends now, and I'm not leaving my friend behind."


    Shara looks at her sincere expression and gets a smile on her face, "You have friends with all sorts of weird powers back home right, like throwing fireballs and such correct?"


    Elena a little confused says, "Um, yeah."


   "Well," says Shara, "then I guess showing you wont hurt our friendship. Don't worry about carrying me, and in fact I'll protect you from the Ba-Vipers. All you have to do is carry me in your shadow."


    "What?" asks Elena.


    Shara stands behind in Elena's shadow and phases down into it. Elena hears a whisper in her ear says, "Now hurry."


    Elena leaps off the wall flipping through pillars, upon landing she hears another whisper, "quick through the door, they are not restricted to the shadows and are coming out."


   Elena sees the shadows slithering from the shadows of the pillars as she turns and runs through the very tall double doors that slid easily for their size, into a very large room lit with electric bulbs. It was if she had stepped through time from ancient Egypt to the 21st century. The room was almost military in design with a large ramp leading up to a black circular device large enough to drive a bus through and a pedestal with a blue orb on it like some lawn ornaments she had seen before.


   Elena says, "Shara, are you there?"


   Elena sees a female form rise from her shadow, but its not the girl she had been with, its...herself, only made of shadows. The shadowiness fades away quickly and there stands an exact double of Elena.


     In her own voice this new Elena says, "Its me, when I move in someone's shadow I typically come out as their exact double. If it makes you feel weird I can also change to who ever I want whose shadow I had been in before."


   She turns back into a shadow and morphs into the shape she had before of the young Egyptian girl. "Okay," she says, "Confession time I guess, I wasn't the girl you met at your bath. I only took on her form so you would have at least a somewhat familiar face helping you out. But I did make the name up myself, I think the servant girl had some name like Quitzy..laba..something or another.  Don't worry she's perfectly fine. You can see yourself I don't have to hurt someone to look like them."


    "Shhh." says Elena, "You're my friend right? And you want to leave with me right?"


     "Um...yes and yes I do."


    "Okay!" says Elena happily, "Then let's go home."


   She puts her hand on the orb and says, "...uh, what was the thing I was supposed to say again?"


    Shara starts laughing hysterically, as she calms down she says, "By Lord Belial, I haven't had this much fun in...ever. Its no wonder the queen likes to go to your world so much. After Lord Belial banished Demitri Maximoff to Earth I would have thought it was some horrible place. But you...you are too cute and funny. Guess its not all bad. But between the sheep Anakaris keeps here and the lunatics from Earth I have seen go to my world I had thought it some place made of tyrants and slaves."


    Elena genuinely confused says, "Uh, well, I guess some places are like that. But there are also a whole lot of nice people too. It's actually a pretty fun place to live."


    "Okay," says Shara, "say Earth CCSFRF."


    As Elena begins to speak pillars of light appear all around the room, from them walks out Skeletons wearing sparse barbarian armor and holding scimitar swords. They appeared just as Elena finished speaking causing a pool of swirling blue light to appear inside the black circle portal device.


    "Now get going," says Shara, "I'll hold these low class guards at bay."


   Shara's arms turn into long tendrils of shadow slashing three of the skeleton guards into boney bits with just a few quick slashes. Share looks back to see Elena has leapt into action kicking one Knight's head clean off with a hand stand kick before knocking its rib-cage apart with another.


    As Elena fights she yells out to Shara, "I said I'm not leaving you, so I'm not leaving you."


   As Shara creates more tendrils from her body to slash the growing number of Skeleton Knights as more pour out of the light pillars she yells out to Elena, "Don't worry about me, they can't actually hurt me. I'm not a physical being, and besides I don't need this portal to get to Earth, I can travel to any world I want when ever I want through the world of shadows and mirrors."


     She sends out a long tentacle grabbing up Elena and yells to her, "I'll see you on Earth someday I promise!" before flinging her through the portal.


    Elena finds herself in the desert outside of Cairo with the sun just staring to rise. She looks around trying to find Shara and says, "I am going to hold you to your promise Shara."


     Back in the depths of Anakaris' palace, the one who was calling herself Shara says to the skeletons, "With my friend gone its time I stopped playing nice with you automaton corpses."


    With a wicked smile her body transforms into shadow that looms out of the ground like a twelve foot tall waving blob of darkness with two long arms that reach to the ground with solid claws for hands, with the only semblance of a face on the smaller part above the arms that serves as the head being two red slits for eyes and a darker ridged opening for a mouth.


    As black lightning begins to form between its hands the deep voice of Anakaris yells out from all directions, "Cease this nonsense at once!"


    Anakaris appears from a purple pillar of light that emanates from a golden circle that appeared on the ground and vanishes just as quickly. He holds his hands out in a posture of attention as he surveys the carnage, "Knights of the Necropolis return to your crypts." He commands.


    He turns to the shadowy being, "Shadow, why...how could you betray me. Your kind is bound to contract. We made a contract; you had to obey my every command."


    "Your every command so long as it didn't lead to my own destruction." Spoke Shadow using Elena's voice.


    "Don't do that!" screams Anakaris in rage, "and answer me demon of Makai's lower world. How did you betray me!?"


    "I didn't," speaks Shadow in Anakaris' voice, "You said to protect her, you didn't say anything about preventing her escape. I also could have interprited your command to me to protect her emotional as well as physical well being and escort the girl back to her own home safely."


     "But you wouldn't do that!" screams Anakaris, "demons of shadow may twist commands when able, but never to aid someone other than themselves."


    Shadow begins to laugh, with the voice of a young girl that Anakaris does not recognize, "Silly little mummy man. I am Shadow; I am the dark reflection of all who walk in light. I have sampled the powers of numerous powerful beings and their dark emotions. I am hated, I am used, I am despised, and viewed as evil. Yet today I sampled something new. Yes When I copied that cat-girl Felicia I sampled joy and happiness and ever since I have held it in my memory as my secret pleasure, however today I sampled an extension of it, friendship. I would keep that for myself. I would not allow even you to rob me of it."


    Shadow transforms into Anakaris' mummy form, "Would you like to fight me as punishment? Although now I strangely feel like fighting can be done to make friends...I must have gotten that when I sampled Elena's shadow."


    "I don't have time for some insane demon's ramblings." Says Anakaris, "Our contract is void, you are released I have no use for a demon who will circumvent me so easily for something as useless as the friendship of a little girl."


    Shadow reverts to its true form, "Very well Anakaris, so easily you have broken what it took your sorcerers years to accomplish, summoning and making a pact with me...Shadow. I promise you Anakaris, go after the girl Elena again and I will show you how powerful I really am. Is loosing this kingdom of yours really worth it?" Shadow vanishes in a red glow that emits intense heat into the room.


It reappears floating like a cloud above the red soiled lands of Makai thinking, "Sorry Elena, I saved you from living as a doll only to be used to sire a son for that creature stuck in his past glories, but getting to your world as I promised is not an easy matter even for me. But I am Shadow, a promise is a contract, you will have your friend Shara back."

Got something new. Not really a story, but a think piece.


What if the VS series was made into a comic book series. Seeing as I pretty much know it wont I post this here, also I made sure to note that a direct translation from game to comic book wouldn't be possible. Have to tie to stories together, even if its by a few odd connections, but given the context I feel they work in this rough timeline/outline of events. and the make it connect X-men Children of the Atom, and Marvel Super Heroes are used for the first two parts.


 


If the VS series had been comic books:


 


VS series part 1:


X-men Children of the Atom:


-Single issue


The start of the VS series would likely begin with X-men Children of the Atom as it start, and only take up a single issue. It would likely be one of the many alternate Marvel universes, Magneto is up to his schemes again, following the plot of the game, with this team of X-men who closely resemble those of the 1990's animated series out to stop him. At the end of the issue a mysterious vortex appears, from it Akuma appears (who takes down maybe one Sentinel robot that attacks him), but this is short lived as the vortex switches directions and sucks them all in leaving them scattered, many of whom near the strong fighters of the Capcom world (Wolverine near Blanka, Cyclops near Ryu, Magneto near Bison, ect...).


 


The issue ends on that cliff hanger.


 


VS series part 2:


Marvel Super Heroes:


-Single issue


This issue briefly follows the events of the Infinity War; with the heroes and villains of the game fighting for the Infinity Gauntlet in deep space. At the end of the issue Thanos attains the Infinity Gauntlet, as his counter part in the main Marvel universe did, but this time it reacts differently. The Living Tribunal who exists between all Marvel Universes doesn't wish for a repeat of the events of the Infinity War so he unleashes a force to pull the Infinity Gauntlet into the void between universes. Thanos resists this, ripping a hole that focuses in on every strong life force nearby, and through them back to their home worlds, namely Earth. A vortex appears that sucks them in, a quick clip shows similar vortexes appearing on Earth (shot from the last issue with the X-men) and other strong beings like Apocalypse. They find themselves in this alien universe in deep space. Their instruments show that they are in a different universe, but they detect that a means to return home may be present on Earth. Both the villains and heroes head out independently for Earth.


 


VS series part 3:


X-men vs Street Fighter (perhaps 2 or 3 issues):


Bison has tricked Magneto, or thinks he has. Shadaloo and Bison see the potential in humans with super-human power that occurs to them naturally rather than through science or enhanced martial arts. Bison wants to study them. Magneto believes Bison's psycho drive may have somehow been responsible for bringing them there. The X-men are from another universe and their minds react differently to the psycho-drive, which thanks to Magneto they are able to modify slightly to resemble, albeit on a weak level, Cerebro, thus making them able to track the X-men, however Magneto notes there are more minds from his world than their should be.


     Shortly after the tracking and fighting between X-men and Street Fighters, sides are chosen and evil plots revealed, something else is revealed. Some of the fighters have disappeared, and the different sides are blaming each other, namely Chun-li and Zangief have gone missing. Their blames are short lived as four powerful beings attack the United Nations building. They are calling for a new age for this world as its taking its first steps into a new evolution in humanity. The four refer to themselves as the Four Horsemen of Apocalypse. Chun-li (now Shadow Lady), Zangief (now Metal Zangief), Akuma (now Cyber Akuma), and a fourth that has Guile tied up in knots a man calling himself (Shadow Charlie).


-as a note unlike the games, Charlie would be missing until this point.


A major battle ensues, Apocalypse is defeated, and as the fighters of this world aren't mutants he had to use Celestial cybernetics to enhance and control his horsemen, who are then put back to normal. Guile is happy that he has found Charlie, but it turns out he is a Charlie from yet another alternate universe who works for Interpol rather than the Air Force. On his world they detected a dimensional shift, which their world being much more advanced in technology (thanks to Shadaloo being a corporate research company rather than a terrorist organization) were able to detect and temporarily prevent intersecting their world, which redirected the travelers in it to this universe.


(This whole bit is more to show that more than one Capcom universe exists, and even more than one Street Fighter, thus cementing that nothing here is canon to any adaptation of Street Fighter).


His universe was able to detect this ripple effect they call an amalgamation event, meaning something in this other universe is causing it pull another universe to it, first pulling in the strongest life signs before it begins to pull in others and eventually merge in-animate objects. Its also effecting his home universe, redirecting the event caused this Capcom and Marvel universe to become linked and start to fuse, but his government fears a backlash effect due to their universe's close proximity effectively between the two linked universes; and how the link had first tried to connect to their world possibly causing his home Earth to be destroyed if the other two Earth's merge as one. so he was sent through the dimensional divide on a secret mission to find the source and destroy it, using a locator. He thought it was Bison's psycho drive, but then detected Apocalypse thinking it was his technology. It was then that he was captured. But while being controlled by Apocalypse he was able to find the true source, some part of his mind was still in control enough to use Apocalypse's technology to locate the true source. This true source is now heading for the planet from Outer Space.


 


VS series part 4.


Marvel Super Heroes vs Street Fighter(1 or 2 issues):


The Marvel Heroes have arrived, as have the villains, and the Infinity Gauntlet. Bison joins the villains, and the X-men and Street Fighters join the heroes. They now know the Infinity Gauntlet held by Thanos is the cause for the multiple Earth's threatening effect. The Heroes want to get rid of it, and the villains seek to control the effect for greater power.


   In the end Bison fuses the Gauntlet with the Psycho Drive to try and gain god like powers, the other villains wish to control it as well. During a massive battle the Psycho Drive forms a worm hole which threatens to destroy their world, the Infinity Gauntlet is grabbed by some mysterious force (The Living Tribunal) through the worm hole and exits the scene.


   A familiar mind contacts them through the worm hole. Its Charles Xavier, the wormhole connects directly to their world, as Bison had used the chi essence of beings of their world as the focus of the Psycho-Drive.


   Xavier can sense that all it would take to correct the current state of the anomaly is for them to come back through the portal/ or conversely alternate Charlie's technology can tell. First the imprisoned Apocalypse is sent back to Earth and taken prisoner by the Avengers who are waiting Marvel side (some nice cameos of characters seen as assists in the games here). 


      Something inside Xavier reacts to the wormhole, something that hadn't happened yet in their universe. Thanks to the wormhole being formed out of power from the psycho-drive which feeds on and enhances violent and aggressive psychic energy, Onslaught sees his chance for freedom and creation. The part of Xavier's mind that is Onslaught violently lurches out and fuses with the wormhole, crystallizing the essence of the dimensional rift in his body as he exits in the Street Fighter universe. (end on this cliff-hanger: scene with Onslaught standing before everyone in Bison's lab).


 


VS series part 5:


Marvel vs Capcom:


Onslaught is now free on Capcom Earth, he wishes to rule this world. He leaves the confused warriors standing around as he vanishes. Charlie reveals that the dimensional rift is sealed, but sealed inside, "what ever that was" referring to Onslaught. Onslaught uses his power and opens a rift summoning Sentinel robots. However when ever he uses his dimensional rift powers it causes the amalgamation effect to continue bringing in more beings like Megaman and others. The group back in Bison's lab is met by Morrigan Aensland, who had been jumping between realities at the time and got knocked out of her "flight path" and sucked into their world.


      This demoness as well as others like Mega man reveal a greater threat that Onslaught holds, as his using the power with his pure psychic form may not make the worlds fuse, but is pulling in beings from more than just the two linked Earths.


   After a great battle Onslaught is defeated, they had to separate his psychic form from the crystallized dimensional rift core inside him. Disconnected from the core, which is revealed to now be a white crystal sphere Onslaught begins to fade away, but laughs as he dies, saying that he was feeding off of a greater force than himself trapped in the sphere. This Ends with the sphere glowing and strange rings forming around it as it floats and sends out shock waves that start to make all sorts of odd beings appear in their world, such as Captain Commando, other Marvel characters, SonSon, and more Darkstalkers.


 


VS series part 6:


Marvel vs Capcom 2:


   The Sphere warps the area throwing many of the main group and more. (focus on the main cast seen in the game manual and ending sequence of Marvel vs Capcom 2). Rather than thrown outside of time and space they find themselves on a flying pirate ship in the presence of Ruby Heart and her second in command the cactus man Amingo. The Marvel guys also see a familiar face, Cable. Others they don't recognize are there as well, the sphere had targeted other strong signatures somehow and sent them there. Cable had been time traveling, and was thrown off track, much how Morrigan had been thrown off track while dimension crossing thanks to the power of the rift. Ruby Heart saw the crystal through the dimensional divide and wants the gem for her collection, she is a pirate after all, but she detects a very strong entity inside it protecting it. She makes a deal with the heroes and villains, as she had with Cable, that if they help her defeat the entity and get her the crystal she will take them all home.


    They agree, some have other ideas, but in the end they are all forced to team up to face against the reality warping and shape shifting entity Abyss that has the crystal core inside its body. After destroying Abyss the core turns into inert stone, sand, and metal, the base elements of the parts that came from the Psycho Drive. She takes the rock but just throws it overboard, "a deal is a deal" and takes everyone back to their home realities. The rift is now fixed, everyone is home and back to their status quo...or are they?


 


VS series: Aftermath:


Tatsunoko vs Capcom (a few issues):


A stand-alone of sorts as it doesn't directly tie into the events of the previous cross-overs which were between Marvel and Capcom.


-The Infinity Gauntlet, the psychic essence of Onslaught, the entity known as Abyss. These things are not destroyed, they are cast out of physical reality, adrift between universes, Onslaught and Abyss looking for a means to return to physical space, in their search they sense a massive battle between cosmic forces. They peek in on the final scene of the game Okami as Amaterasu fights Yami. In the end she casts Yami into the bleak void.


    In this void Yami finds the other boss monsters Amy had defeated as well as the much stronger Onslaught and Abyss. He/it makes a deal with them, lend it their power and it will bring them with it to the universe they entered the void from for a combined revenge and Yami helping them defeat that world. They agree, and Yami betrays them, it doesn't want to rule it wants to destroy. They of course attack it, the resulting battle at the edge of a rift between the void and the Capcom universe causes another ripple, but to one not connected to any of them, but rather to the next over set of multi-verses, the Tatsunoko worlds, pulling from them several strong beings.


(This leads to the opening scene of the game Tatsunoko vs Capcom) Morrigan was already visiting that world on her own, the only alternate Capcom characters dragged from another universe being a different Mega man than the one before, Joe,  and Roll, who as a bit of comedy mistakes this Mega man for the one she knows.


    Yami seeks to destroy this world, it and its legion of monsters face these warriors (even some only seen in the endings of the game). Eventually Yami is defeated and it turns out Yami's presence is the only thing causing the cross-reality effect, unlike before with the crystal this isn't an amalgamation, but rather a wake effect by this foreign evil god from when it entered this world and the energy its battle with Onslaught and Abyss caused to be connected to Yami, connecting it to the alternate realities their battle had pulled people from. So sending Yami back into the void through its defeat caused these others to automatically go back to their own worlds (perhaps this effect would have been revealed by Dr. Light and others earlier).


   The worlds are back to normal, for now. The major threats still reside in the void, but no longer trust each other, each seeking its own way to claw their way out of the infinite blackness back into some physical universe along with the host of other horrors in that black space.

I actually have another part of my VS summary series, but I have a problem with it, I have no idea just how strong Ingrid is supposed to actually be. Is she actually a goddess? or just a Dr. Who like character? what kind of personality does she have?


for this I went with "goddess" and "Star Trek energy being like personality"


 


VS series: side event:


Capcom Fighting Evolution:


The Time and dimension traveling goddess like being Ingrid after her experience with the martial artist of the Street Fighter universe has grown curious about warriors and other super-powered beings. After watching from afar conflicts in three different parallel universes she has decided to bring select warriors of her choosing from each on together in a sub-space world to see which ones are the strongest. Watching them battle the forces of this world and each other.


   In the end the chosen warriors are forced to put their differences aside and work together to escape this world, the Street Fighters and Red Earth ones looking together for a means to escape amongst Ingrid's machines as the Darkstalkers attack Ingrid and her minions head on to keep her distracted. After the destruction of this battle she agrees to send them all back home, believing that it wasn't a good idea to bring such a diverse cast together in one place, especially not ones like Pyron and Jedah next to human fighters.

The problem with RPGs is that they have a better written out event by event plot than a fighting game, so any comic adaptation would likely follow close to that.


I have a rough draft for another SF vs Darkstalkers event(and uses some Final Fight characters), and some other ideas floating around when I have time to write. Trying to find characters who make sense and can stand a fight against Darkstalkers (I kinda feel like I'm Street Fighter bashing with some of these when I'm not. But the best I can do is give them more "political roles" in such encounters, which just feels underhanded. One idea I am rolling around is Disgaea vs Darkstalkers for a cross-company kind of story)


but this week i plan to write out my next story which I have planned out. Its going to be a continuation of the C.Viper story I did, I like to have my stories tied together. (idea: the "undisclosed city" was Metro-City and Haggar is none to happy to find out the CIA snatched a bunch of kids off the street).

a little scene I wrote that belongs here. A "what-if" Morrigan took out Seth and replaced him as the last boss, in much the same way Akuma would take out Bison in Street Fighter II.


 *Seth stands ready to battle, a swirling darkness appears behind him. His smile, his pose of impending victory a clear sign of his obliviousness to the horror awaiting in his own shadow. The look of fear and confusion on the face of his foe does not clue him in, however the odd looks from his scientists draw the metal-man's attention.


   No sooner does the indomitable abomination of science look over his shoulder than a plethora of winding black tendrils, like razor edged flat wires with arrow head tips, encircle him, entangle him, and almost seem poised to violate him, pulling the artificial giant into the shadows.


   a strange woman walks from the darkness, green hair, bat-wings (atop her head and upon her back), wearing a costume fit for an erotic Halloween party. the twisted smile upon her gorgeous face seems out of place to the world traveled body hardened fighter who had moments before been set to battle the head of SIN.


"are you with S.I.N?" asks the world warrior, puzzled at the frail thin framed woman, who somehow had a hand in Seth's sudden disappearance.


"mmmm. sin..." purrs the un-natural beauty,


*she poises her hand to her face, almost as if to lick her fingers in wait of some delicious eroticism*


"you look strong, and virile" says the woman, "but do you have the stamina to keep me entertained?"


"what?!" cries the world warrior (line alteration and expression funnier with female fighter)


"don't worry," she says, "I'll be gentle."


-battle begins


*if Morrigan wins: "how sad, I only used a tenth of my strength and you were still un-able to keep up with me. Guess I'll just have to entertain myself"


*if Morrigan looses: (too the surprise of the fighter she stands right back up as if completely un-harmed) "hmmm, not bad, I might have to come back when you get some...more experience, next time I might not even need to fake it with you."


(in either event she laughs and vanishes into a portal, throwing back out a rather disturbingly "bonded" Seth who is also badly bruised, the smiling face of Lilith peeking out the portal saying, "This doll is no fun you can have it back.")
