This is not my story. This was written by my friend in school. I have
nothing at all to say about the way this story ends so you have to read it
yourself. Please give all C&C to me and I will pass it on to him.

A Street Fighter vs. X-Men type Fanfiction

Chapter 1

	"Me thinks we should refill our cash."
	"Cool it Remy, winning too much makes them angry."
	"Aw, Rogue you spoil all the fun. And our cash is running low."
	"That's because ya spend it all off." 
	"Knock it off guys! We came here to relax."
	"OK Summers no need to get angry. Gambit stop fighting. Hey Rogue! Wait
for me."
	"Scott you shouldn't have stopped them." Jean said.
	"They were on the verge of killing each other!"
	"There are many ways of showing affection, Cyclops"
	"What Storm! Your against me too!"
	"She's not the only one" Logan snarled.
	"I'm sorry Summers. I kinda agree with them too." Henry said.

*	*	*

They are mutants. Sworn to protect those who hate them-- flatscans or
actually, humans. These mutants are lead by a man. A man who dared to
dream. A dream that was not possible. A dream where humans and mutants
live in perfect peace and harmony. This man is Professor Charles Xavier.
Leader of the X-men.

*	*	*

Meanwhile, Gambit catches up with Rogue.
Panting.
	"Hey you run fast. I almost couldn't catch up with you. Let's go for
lunch. Just to say I'm sorry. Then I'll try a few hands. That's what we're
in Vegas for."
	"OK Remy. Ah give up. Least ah get a free lunch. People are lucky ya
ain't a telepath or ya'll rip em off and get killed in the process. People
here hold grudges real long."
	"Why? is someone's worried?"
	"Don't push it LeBeau."
	"What ja want ta eat?"
	" Something simple. Ah don't want to lose mah figure."
One hour later at a Poker table,
	"You guys need another player?"
Gambit joins the poker game.
	"I'll raise you $1000."[fold please, fold]
	"Call."
	"Call."
	"Call."
The last card is dealt. Gambit gets a two of diamonds.
	"Bet $100" 
	"Call."
	"Call."
	"I raise you $100,000."
	"I can't play that kinda money! Fold."
	"Fold."
	"Bullshit! You ain't got nothing underneath. I win! A pair of Jacks."
	"Thanks for your $100,000. I win. Two pairs."
Gambit shows off his pair of twos and sixes. Remy gets up to leave but the
loser pushes him back down.
	"One more game."
	"Uh, oh." Rogue thought from a nearby jackpot machine. 
	"OK. Last coin before ah help Remy."
	"Call."
	"Call."
	"Call."
	"Raise $100,000."
	"Jackpot!"
Rogue hurriedly picks up her 100,000 $5 chips.
	"Fold."
	"Fold."
	"Fold! Let's see what you've got underneath."
The loser opens Gambit's cards which are terrible.
	"You cheat!"
	"Hey! I didn't do any thing wrong! Ow"
The loser hits Gambit.
	"This is self-defense." 
Gambit kicks the man over the table and slams into a wall unconscious.
Rogue carrying her chips, rushes to help Gambit.
	"You took your time."
	"How much have ya won?"
	"About $250,000 and trouble."
	"Ah think we should leave."
	"I agree entirely."
Gambit and Rogue returns to their rooms. Beast who shares the connecting
room with Logan comes over.
	"How's the business?"
	"Great. Ah hit the jackpot."
	"And I trashed up some losers."
	"Such luck I wished I had. May I accompany you the next time?"
Knocking is heard. 
	"Room service!"
Gambit and Rogue looks at each other inquiringly. Rogue walks calmly to
open the door. The loser rushes past Rogue, draws a gun and shoots point
blank at Gambit. Henry reacts quickly and knocks Gambit to the floor.
Rogue whacks the loser and he hits the wall unconscious again.
	"What's all that noise?" 
Wolverine, scratching his head, comes from the other room and sees the
unconscious guy.
	"Looks like you had some fun without me."
A crowd is gathering at the door. 
	"Whatcher lookin' at shows over."
Logan chases the crowd away whilst Beast calls the manager. And the
manager arrives in a short while.
	"Please take this guy away." Henry requested.
	"Would you like to press charges?"
	"Na. He should get hell for just possessing a weapon."
Cyclops storms into the room.
	"Two adults and they can't take care of themselves."
Later that night.
	"It's been a tiring day." Rogue yawns.
	"You got that right."
Rogue and Gambit goes to bed. [On two different beds despite what you may
think.]
	
Chapter 2

	"Help!"
Rogue and Gambit wake up with a start.
	"Hi! Ya!"
There is a fight along the corridor.
	"Kidnappers! Help! Abductors! Thugs! Hooligans! Help!"
Rogue rushes to open the door and sees a fifteen year old girl fighting a
losing battle between four armed thugs.
	"Gambit say you play fair or you no play at all."
Saying that, He throws three charged cards at the three attackers. They
all hit and three of them are knocked senseless on the ground.
The teenager wallops the last guy and leaves him groaning.
	"You're mutants!"
	"Trust you to blow our cover."
	"Sorry."
The other X-men walk out of their rooms.
	"What happened?" Cyclops asked.
	"Looks like I missed all the fun again." Wolverine said sadly.
	"Come into my room everyone. We need to talk."Cyclops commands.
	"You too little girl."
	"I'm not a little girl."
In the room.
	"What's your name girl. Why are you here."
	"I'm Sakura. I'm looking for a guy named Ken Masters. He might know where
Ryu is. I heard he stayed in this hotel. But I was too late. Those thugs
were sent by Rolento. A criminal mastermind. Who are you."
The X-men introduce themselves.
	"Where do you stay Sakura?" Cyclops inquired.
	"On the streets. It's a school holiday in my country and I'm traveling
with limited resources."
	"You can stay with us." Rogue offered.
	"Well, I really can't ......"
	"Come on it'll be fun! Come to mah room. Cyclops, arrange another bed for
Remy."
	"Hey!"
In the morning.
	"Tell me about Ryu and Ken."Rogue asked.
	"Ryu is a great fighter and he travels a lot searching for better people
to fight. Ken is his best friend and he tries to defeat Ryu. They learnt
their skills from the same master. Ken and Ryu has a love-hate
relationship. And I'm Ryu's number 1 fan."
	"Is Ryu really that good?"
	"The best."
	"Hey! You girls interested in breakfast?"
	"Of course Remy just let us change and get ready."
After a while.
	"Ready Sakura? Come on let's go."
After an exceptionally delicious breakfast in Sakura's point of view, she
never ate any good stuff, they went to search for new clothes for Sakura.
She only had her tattered school uniform.
	"You look great p'tite."
	"Better than me"
	"No Rogue! Of course not."
After dressing Sakura up, they proceeded to the nearest casino.
	"They won't let me in."
	"Relax. Gambit get you in."
And miraculously, he did.
Gambit went straight for the Poker table and started making money and
trouble.
Sakura followed Rogue to the Blackjack counter and bet all her remaining
money; which wasn't much.
	"Is that all you have?"
	"Ya."
The cards are dealt. Sakura squeals in delight.
	"Blackjack!"
Rogue draws another card and hits 21. The banker pays up.
	"I get to search for Ryu a little longer."
	"I'll pay for all your expenses as long as you're on holiday." 
	"Thanks but I like to pay for myself once awhile."
Sakura bets all her money again.
	"Hey! You shouldn't do that. You'll lose all in one game."
	"Relax."
Sakura gets 15 and has to take another card and stays at 19. Sakura wins
again.
	"At this rate, I'll be rich in a day!"
But she stops playing. Gambit comes to them.
	"I think we'd better leave. I think I made him angry."
Outside at the car park, seven hooligans are waiting. Each had a weapon
most of which were baseball bats, though Sakura spotted some knives.
	"REMY! Why does trouble always follow you around?"
	"I guess we'd better start and get over it quickly."
Sakura commented and kicked a hooligan in the same breath.
Within seconds, the gang lay in a heap.
	"It's not over yet!"
A man walks out from behind a car carrying a gun.
	"Put your hands on the car."
The man walks over and pinches Rogues ass.
	"Nice ass."
Rogue answers it with a swing of her arm and an audible crack was heard
when her arm connected with his head. The man slumped on the floor
lifelessly.
	"Now I think we'd better leave."
The trio returns to their hotel. They had lunch at the cafeteria on the
ground floor then returned to their rooms. Sakura slumps on the bed and
switches on the television while Rogue goes to the bathroom for a shower.
Gambit spend his time reading a magazine left on the table.

Chapter 3

At night in another part of Vegas, Wolverine is taking part in a street
fight. There is a lot of betting going on.
	"How much do I get paid?"
	"Only about $200,000 if you win." the manager says.
	"Raise it to $500,000. I'll win."
	"If you lose I'll get nothing! No! Never!"
	"If I lose, I'll give you the same amount back. Agreed?" 
	"Hmm? It's a deal!"
	"Announcing the arrival of Balrog! Our reigning champion."
The crowd cheers wildly.
	"Announcing the arrival of Mr. Logan."
The crowd is silent except for a little boy who claps loudly. Wolverine
winks at him.
	"May the match BEGIN!"
	"I'll mince you up. I ain't lost a match yet."Balrog taunted.
	"The first time's always the worst."
Balrog charges at Wolverine. Wolverine jumps up into the air nimbly, turns
around in mid-air and kicks Balrog. Balrog stumbles and falls to the
ground. Lone clapping is heard.
	"Grrrr. It ain't over yet."
Wolverine jumps at Balrog.  Balrog ducks and uppercuts Wolverine.
Wolverine flies into the air after being hit. He flipped a few times and
lands on his two feet. Balrog rushes at Wolverine and tries to grab him
but Wolverine knocked the air out of him with a well placed kick. Balrog
falls to the ground grasping for air. Wolverine kicks Balrog's head and
Balrog slumps to the floor unconscious.
	"The winner! Mr. Logan!"
A single cheer is heard.
	"I'll be collecting my money now."
	"Sure here's $500,000. Come back whenever you like. You're always welcome
here."
Wolverine walks back to the hotel.
Passing a quiet alley.
	"I don't like losing. GET HIM!":
	"My, my twelve against one. I like the odds especially with these."
Wolverine extends his claws.
	"What the! Boss you didn't say anything about....."
	"Just kill him. You're twelve against one. You'll win."
	"Bash, Ow, Slam, Crack, Groan."
The twelve men are lying on the ground.
	"Can't your men do any better? Or are you too poor to hire pros."
Wolverine walks away calmly.
	"Never walk away from an enemy."
Wolverine turns around to see a bazooka pointed at him.
	"Boom!"
Wolverine jumps but he is too late.
The explosion hits him and he slams into the wall.
	"Groan."
Balrog stands our Wolverine snickering. Wolverine's eyes open.
	"Don't underestimate the opponent."
Wolverine grabs Balrog and throws him into a large trash can.
	"Sleep well."
Logan resumes his slow walk back to the hotel. On entering the hotel,
Wolverine sees Jean being chased by three men. Wolverine runs beside her.
	"What's the problem?"
	"I played Poker and they thought I cheated when I knew their cards."
	"Where's Summers?"
	"I came down myself."
	"What prompted you to do that?"
	"I was bored and Scott didn't feel like coming. Why do people get angry
when they lose? I thought this only happens to Gambit."
After turning around a corridor.
	"I think we should take them on now."
They turned around and made the unhappy people even unhappier. Then they
returned to their rooms. Rogue, Gambit, Sakura, Cyclops and Storm have
decided to go out. Outside the building, Rolento and his gang await.
	"You guys won all my casino's money."
	"Oh boy! Time to blast our way out of this mess."
Rogue picks up the tank following Rolento, throws it into the air then she
charges into the air and smashes it.
	"Lightning eliminate those treats."
Lightning flashes and three hooligans fall down seriously injured.
Cyclops knocks a punk down and blasts another.
	"Go Hadoken!"
Sakura uses her fireball to hit a gangster against a truck and kicks
another in the stomach. Gambit charges a stack of cards and throws them
into the air.
	"Every get out!"
The cards fall like fireworks and injures most of Rolento's henchmen.
	"Watch my fire power."
Rolento releases all his ammunition and starts throwing knives and
grenades. The X-men start dodging weapons. Wolverine jumps from the
storeys above and lands behind Rolento.
	"I ain't gonna miss all the fun this time."
Wolverine extends his claws.
	"Wonder what'cha gonna look like when I stick this into you."
Rolento turns around. Cyclops shoots him in the back. Rolento falls
forward and lands on Wolverine's adamantium claws.
	"Oh boy." Cyclops apologizes.
Rolento lies on the floor.
	"Looks like you got your wish." Rolento says his last words.
	"Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Good show."
Clap, Clap, Clap
Rolento walks in from the shadows and kicks the dead body.
	"Does he really look like me? What an insult."
	"What are you doing here?" Sakura yells at Rolento.
	"I need your help X-men. Bison is upsetting the whole system in the
underworld. He has no conscience.  My people are dying like flies. You
have to help me. SHADOWLAW IS RISING AGAIN."

Chapter 4

	"Did you know you have very bright green eyes?"
	"Why! Thank you."
	"Stop flattering her Rolento."
	"Shut up Remy. Ya don't flatter me at all."
Sakura sits quietly by the side.
	"What's the matter sugah?"
	"I just don't trust him."
	"Who? Rolento? Jean scanned his mind. It had no evil intent."
	"I guess I'm just paranoid."
	"Relax sugah. We'll find Ryu soon."
	"I hope we do. I gotta hunch we're gonna need his help."
	"What do you know about Bison?" Cyclops asked.
	"Nothing much. Only that he's killing my men and he's buying ahelluva
weapons. You can't find any weapons sold anywhere. Bison's offerin' 50%
more for every weapon. He's emptied the black markets of weapons ranging
from gunpowder to plasma grenades."
	"It seems that he is planning something big. Really BIG." McCoy
concluded.
	"OK guys we can't handle this alone. Let's combine the X-men and Street
Fighter gang. If Bison's planning something big, we'll need all the help
we can get."
	"Rogue, Sakura search for Ryu."
Sakura squeals in delight.
	"Gambit, Rolento find Ken and Guy."
	"Beast, Storm find Chun Li."
	"Guile's your job Wolverine. Jean and I'll find Cammy."
	"We'll meet back in the mansion after a week. I'll ask the Professor to
contact Nightcrawler and Archangel."

Chapter 5

Rogue and Sakura found the trail of Ryu and It lead into a forest in
Brazil.
	"Ah hate forests all those insects."
	"Rogue the insects can't hurt you."
	"Ya but let's get over this quick."
They trekked in the forest for a few hours with Rogue complaining every
minute.
Suddenly the forest is filled with natives.
	"The chief want's to see you. He said to treat you nicely unless you try
to escape."
	"OK. OK, Don't need ta get angry."
Sakura looked at Rogue, puzzled.
The natives bring the two women to a throne made of wood and entwined with
vines.
On the whole, it looked quite grand.
A green beast emerges from the largest hut.
	"Blanka?"
	"Sakura! What are you doing here? Looking for Ryu I suppose. Wait let's
get into my quarters before you answer."
	"Ya. But for a different reason. Bison is making trouble again and the
X-men need his help."
	"The X-men? I've heard of them. A group of mutants fighting for harmony
between mutants and humans. If you want my opinion, I say kill em all.
They hate us. Why do you think I'm living here instead of in somewhere
civilized. But Bison is another matter. He came here a month ago and set
fire to the village I was supposed to protect. I tried to protect them but
you know how powerful he is. If you want my opinion, I say kill him too.
Ryu came past here three days ago. Pretty rude didn't even come by to say
hello. Stay here today. My trackers will find his tracks by tomorrow. Come
you shall rest now. "
That night, they feasted on roasted venison. It was the most delicious
meal Rogue had ever tasted. She knew Sakura liked it too for she scraped
the leaf clean after the meal.
	"What's Bison doin' now?"
	"He's buying arms by the thousands. We feel that he's planned something
big and now we're gathering the X-men and Street Fighter together to
oppose him."
 	"That's Bison for you. Oh count me in on the fight. I'm leaving with
you."
Rogue woke up earlier than usual and found Sakura already up.
	"You're up early." Blanka commented from behind them.
	"Oh we didn't see ya come up. Any trace of Ryu yet?"
	"My trackers found his trail. He should be here by sundown."
Sakura's eyes brighten.
Throughout the day, Sakura and Rogue finds out what a beautiful and
amazing place a forest is.
At dusk, Ryu is brought to the throne un chains.
	"Why have you chained him?" Sakura asks desperately.
	"He fought my people. I told them to be gentle unless the he started the
fight first."
	"Why am I chained up little girl?"
	"Stop calling me that."
Sakura rushes to Ryu and breaks the chains.
	"Now little girl, Why have you captured me?"
	"Well, I need you autograph on this photo and the X-men need your help."
Sakura points to Rogue.
	"Bison's planned something big. We need you and the other Street
Fighter's help. Bison's our problem as he is yours."

Chapter 6

	"I know where Guy is. He works with me in the underworld."
	"Good. That leaves us plenty of time to play and find Ken Masters."
	"I'll ask Guy to meet us at the 2020 casino."
Guy arrives and agrees to join the fight against Bison.
	"Let's make some money before we search for Masters."
The trio enter the casino.
	"Let's broke this casino Gambit offers."
	"Yea!"
	"Cool!"
	"Let's do it!"
	"Huh!" Gambit is shocked to hear a fourth voice join the conversation.
	"Hi! I, Ken Masters. I think you were looking for me. This is my wife
Eliza."
The Trio introduce themselves and their reason for the search for him.
	"Are we gonna still try to broke this casino?" Ken asks after the
explanation.
The five new friends pool their resources and goes on a gambling streak.
Not just a normal gambling streak, a winning gambling streak. 
The quintet play throughout the night and by morning, the casino belongs
to them.
	"This is the first time I win a casino." Gambit says spinning on a rotary
chair.
Fifteen men burst into the control room.
One of which Gambit recognizes to be the ex-manager of the casino which is
now controlled by Rolento's men. The owners of the casino decide to let
Rolento and Guy control the casino and split all the profits.
	"Kill them! Kill them! Kill them! They took away our jobs. They should
pay."
A fight breaks out in the control room.  The unhappy people are now even
unhappier as most of them are unconscious or in pain.

Chapter 7

	"Chun Li's house on the top of the hill." The village chief answers.
Storm and Beast take a leisurely stroll up the hill enjoying the scenery
and breeze.
	"A walk up this hill everyday will surely strengthen your legs." Beast
observed.
	"That would explain the power of Miss Li's lightning kicks." Storm said
panting softly.
	"What! Bison's back? Great! I get to defeat him again."
After hearing Beast's summary of the problem, Chun Li's eyebrows joined
together in a frown. 
	"Oh dear!"
	"What." Beast asked politely.
	"Oh dear!" She repeated herself.
	"That's not much of a help dear. Tell us what you know."
	"Bison has been recruiting as many men as he is buying weapons. I think
he is going on a whole scale war."
	"It seems that Bison is insane." Storm reaches up to adjust her hairband.
Machine gun firing is heard. They run out of the house to see the village
below being raided. The raiders was, however, too professional to be
simple bandits.   A young boy runs out of a house. A raider takes careful
aim and shoots......
	"Winds blow that bullet off course."
The boy kept running but the bullet never reached him.
	"I suggest we protect the villagers."Beast says running down the hill.
	"Lightning destroy the evil plage that plunders this village."
Storm hovers over the burning village. Chun Li lets releases her restraint
to her fireballs and kicks. Several men fall when they tried to block her
passage.
	"Retreat! We've killed enough people al ready."
	"Those people were from Bison. They can't be let to escape."
Saying that, she shoots a fireball at each of the escaping jeeps. They
explode consecutively in fireworks of flame.
	"Bison! You and your people will pay."
	"I agree entirely." Beast answers solemnly.
	"May they all fall like rain." Storm's eyes were filled with tears.
Looking at the body littered ground, Chun Li screamed.
	"BISON!"
Chapter 8

	"Ah! England. I haven't been here for years."
	"Jean! You didn't tell me you came before!"
	"You didn't ask."
	"I hope we find Cammy quick. If Bison's planning something big, and he
is, he's going to do it soon so I don't think we have much time left."
A scream is heard.
	"Why you low-down, petty, useless snatch thief."
A young lady with beautiful golden braids said while chasing the thief who
snatched her hand bag. She was wearing a tight T-shirt and long skirts.
Hardly a thing to run with. The young lady, even though she had some
trouble running, caught up with the snatch thief and pounded him into the
dust.
	"Eat dirt you bloody asshole."
The young lady kicked the thief even though he was already on the floor,
swearing with each kick.
	"Be careful not to kill him." Cyclops looked at the groaning man.
	"Who do you think you are to tell me what to or not to do. I bloody hell
do what I want!"
The thief groans at their feet.
	"Shut up dog!"
	"Cammy. I'm Jean Grey of the X-men. Bison's making trouble again and we
need the Street Fighter's help."
	"Oh we're gonna fight that bastard Bison! Great! you can count on me."
	"Sure we can." Cyclops said sarcastically.
	"You be nice dear. We'll tell you more about Bison when we're alone."
Jean told Cammy eyeing the crowd which had gathered around them when Cammy
half killed the man.
Sitting silently in a cafeteria
	"Why is bastard Bison always making trouble?"
 	"That's no way to talk about your father."
	"Scott I told you to be nice."
	" I'll try dear. I'll try.'
	"He ain't my father. He renounced me years ago. I got over the initial
shock, and now I'm gonna kick his ass to hell. So, like it or not, I'm
with you."

Chapter 9

	"Hey You're not supposed to be here! Oof!"
The man falls flat on his face.
	"Is it that hard ta find a guy down here? Getting on board was easy.
Finding a guy I don't know ain't. Three days, three days cooped up in this
hen house. The gang'll laugh at me fer taking so long."
	"What did you do ta him? Sound the alarm INTRUDER."
A crowd closes in on Wolverine and looks at their fallen comrade.
	"Get him! He's a spy!"
Wolverine extends his claws.
	"Let's see how good you marines are as a team."
	"We don't need to be good only as a team let's see how good you are one
on one."
	"Woo a daring one. Look I didn't come here to look fer trouble......"
	"Shut up. Sonic BOOM!"
Wolverine leaps easily over the projectile.
	"Guile?"
	"How did ja know my name?"
	"We need help to fight Bison again."
	"Bison's gonna pay for killing Charlie. A best friend a man ever had.
Tell me more about Bison."
	"Don't ja think there's a trifle too many people around here?"
	"Come to my room."
In Guile's room. Clothes were thrown all over the place.
	"Don't tell anyone my room is so messy."
After Wolverine told his story.
	"So that's it eh. Bison's gonna do something stupid again an' I'm gonna
nail him for what he did to Charlie. Gimme a day to get my leave then we
can take the fastest plane to wherever we need to go."
Wolverine covers his face with his hand.
	"They're really gonna tease me."

Chapter 10

At the mansion every body had arrived before Guile.
	"Welcome Guile. I'm Professor Charles Xavier."
	"Let's kick Bison's ass to hell."
Guile's swears are ignored as they are meant to be.
	"OK we know Bison's planning something big but after four days of working
with Celebro, I've found no leads."

*	*	*

	"Have we attained all the heavy weapons from here to China?"
	"Sir. We have all the weapons being sold but there are some odds and ends
not yet collected."
	"Good. Leave the non-explosive weapons. Concentrate on explosives and
lots of gun powder. My plan needs a lot of fireworks. Divert the attention
of the X-men and Street Fighters. Don't let them find out about my plan.
Try to create riots for small reasons. That should keep them busy."
	"Yes SIR."
	"One more thing Zangief. Try to stay alive. I might need you later."

*	*	*

	"Impossible! Celebro has detected four riots at four different parts of
the world at the same time. Bison's started his plan. Guy and Rolento! You
have some men each. Take a group of approximately two hundred people each
to stop the riots here and here." The professor said pointing at a map. 
	"Cyclops. Take Jean, Rogue, Archangel, Ryu, Ken and Sakura there."
pointing at the far side of the map.
	"Storm, Gambit, Wolverine, Nightcrawler, Guile ,Chun Li and Cammy to the
last city. Jubilee, Beast, stay here and help me."
	"I never get any fun." Jubilee started crying.
	"There, there, sugah you'll get your chance."
	"Easy for you to say. You always get to go." Jubilee sniffed.

*	*	*

Jubilee is a little girl like Sakura. She is seldom allowed to fight for
mutant peace. As you realize, she takes this very badly. 

*	*	*

Chapter 11

A drop of water fell on his arm and trickled down to his shirt. Guy looked
up at the cloud filled sky. Explosions were heard down the street 
followed with screams of death.
	[What kind of mad man was Bison. Holding a riot for no reason at all.
Well that must be a reason why they all call him mad.]
Another drop fell on his hand. He shook it off with a flick.
	[My men should start stopping the riot just about now.]
The sky rumbled. The drops of water came more frequently now. Guy reaches
the scene of the riot. Many people were lying on the street. Shadows were
jumping all around and the number of screams grew. 
A trouble maker from Bison approached Guy with a gun. 
	[Pathetic weapon.]
Guy knocks the weapon out of his hand with a kick and knocks him out with
another. The rain came in torrents matching the number of fallen victims.
 	"Boss. The riot is breaking up."
	"Good. Spare those who leave. Kill everyone making anymore trouble."
	"Yes boss."
Guy wiped his face with the back if his hand but the rain kept coming down
on his face.
	[Like the blood flowing down the street.]
Guy sighed.
	"Search the bodies. Find anything that you suspect leads to Bison. Bring
it all to me.]
Guy sighed again.

Chapter 12

At the mansion.
	"Too many will die if we kill all the trouble makers. Beast do you have
any effective sleeping gas to spray over the riot?"
	"I'll search my lab for one now, Professor."
	"Good. We need to help Rolento fast or he's going to kill all the
protestors."

*	*	*

	"It has begun. Gang. Protect the people. Kill all who threatens the
citizens. try to prevent bloodshed and don't loot the dead. Find anything
that might lead to Bison."
Rolento looks up at the sky. The sun was shining. It was hot.
The screams continued for an hour or so. A few fanatic attacked Rolento
but they were quickly gutted.
A shadow fell upon the fighters. The Blackbird had arrived.
	"Everybody! I suggest you leave this vicinity including Rolento." Beast's
calm voice was heard over the din. No one paid attention. 
	"This is your last chance. Get LOST."
	"Ya scam." Jubilee's voice was also heard on the loud speaker.
	"OK everybody. Leave!" Rolento shouts over the screams and moans.
Half the fight breaks and runs off in different directions trampling those
in their way.
Rolento joins the dash. As he was leaving, he saw a bluish gas being
emitted from the Blackbird.
	[Trust Beast to like the colour.]
Bison's men saw the gas and made a desperate attempt tho escape but most
of the passed out with their first few steps. The Blackbird landed as the
last of Bison's men fell face first in the dirt.
	"Get here." Guy beckoned his pal.
The Blackbird had picked up Guy on their way to help Rolento.
	"Tell your people to search the bodies. I've sent for trucks to collect
the stuff. But for now, My X-men team need my help."

Chapter 13

Archangel soared the skies on his metallic wings beside Rogue with Sakura
sitting on her back. The other four of the gang were in Ken's car heading
towards the riot.
	"Weee. This is fun."Sakura squealed as Rogue did a dive.
	"Stop playing." Archangel complained.
	"Just tryin' ta make the mission fun."
	"Ya. Don't be so serious."
	"Look at the fight. A mass slaughter. Now you tell me not to be serious."
	"Archangel! What's that light comin' towards us."
	"It's, it's. The Blackbird!?"
	[Rogue, Archangel. Call the team back.] Xavier telepathically reached out
to his students.
	[Too late.] Rogue thought back.
Ryu and Ken had jumped into the middle of the fight. Cyclops was blasting
people off the edge of the riot. Jean was, however, stationary. 
	"Scott we have to retreat."
	"But Ryu and Ken......"
	"Don't argue with me. The Blackbird is approaching and the Professor is
going to put everyone to sleep. Come with me now."
Jean and Cyclops retreat towards the Blackbird. Rogue puts Sakura down
near the couple and moves through the air and picks up a struggling and
kicking Ryu. Archangel follows suit and retrieves Ken. They followed the
direction of the others. At one point, they all stopped. Rogue and
Archangel released their passengers and they all turn around to watch the
strange gas take effect.
Rogue touched her comm.
	"Go help the other team. We'll search the bodies. How long does the
effect last?"
	"About one week." came Beast's reply.
The X-men, Street Fighter team approached the heap of lazy bones again.
Then they started to scrutinize the bodies.

Chapter 14

The Blackbird hovered above the heap of bodies. Wolverine was having a one
on one fight with Zangief. The rest of the team was combing through the
bodies.
The Blackbird was too late, or rather the team was too fast. The Blackbird
landed and the scene was clearer to the passengers. Zangief was bleeding
from multiple wounds Wolverine had inflicted on him. Wolverine did many
more quick attacks and since Zangief was too slow, he bled in many more
places.
	"I'm bored. Who wants to take over."
	"I will! I will!" Cammy eagerly replied.
Wolverine went to a body, plied another above it and sat on the two
bodies. He watched Cammy take over the torture of Zangief.
	"Come and fight!"
Cammy kicked left, right, left again and ended in a sweep.
	"Don't play with him anymore."
Chun Li did sixty-two kicks in the next three seconds. Zangief falls to
the ground senseless.
	"Load him on the Blackbird." Beast called out to Guile.
	"Raid the bodies. Our trucks should be here soon. A plane will take you
back to the mansion. We'll go back to interrogate Zangief first."
The Blackbird takes off into the sunset.
	"OK gang. You heard him. Strip the bodies."

Chapter 15

	"Zangief's mind has only vague ideas of Bison's headquarters. He
remembers being blindfolded before taken to see Bison."
	"Hey Professor, nothing we have is from Bison. Nothin' here smells of
Bison."
The phone starts ringing.
Jubilee runs to pick up the phone. Her face paled as she passed the phone
to the Professor.
	"I think it's him."
	"Professor Charles Xavier here. Bison what do you want."
After a while. 
	"Yes. I understand."
The Professor hangs up.
	"It was Bison. Call everybody here while I trace the call."
Jubilee activates the alarm.
	"Jubilee, you're not supposed to use the alarm unless it is a total
emergency."
	"It saves time."
In less then a minute, the team has gathered in the room.
	"Bison has called. I traced the call to these places."
The computer screen showed dots from one end of the world to another.
	"This is the recorded message."
	"Professor. You have stopped my four riots. You will make no more
attempts to find my base. In return, I will make no more trouble. If you
try in anyway to locate me, I will start killing innocent people. Please
heed me advice as I have no desire to carry out the consequences. Do you
understand my respected Professor?"
	"And I suppose we listen to the mad man!" Storm demanded.
	"Yes Ororo. We have no other choice. However, we shall stay a team. If
Bison breaks his promise in anyway, we will have to fight back. But now,
we have a more pressing matter at hand. This is a very critical mission
and all of us must go. Go pack your bags X-men and Street Fighters. We're
all going on a holiday!"

Chapter 16

Rogue and Sakura return to their rooms and start packing their bags.
	"What are you going to pack?"
	"Oh justa little from here and there."
After about half an hour.
	"WHAT you're going to bring all that!"
	"Never mind, I'll carry it all. Just go'da sleep."
The alarm clock starts ringing.
	"What the hell is this. It's one in the morning." Rogue exclaims
	"Just turn it off." Sakura groans
	"I can't!"
	"What do you mean you can't."
	"I just can't."
Wolverine busts into the room.
	"You got da same problem too. Come I'll help you."
Wolverine slams his fist on the clock.
	"Thanks."
Sounds of cursing emits from the other rooms.
Then came the sound of breaking glass.
	"X-men and Street Fighters. This is Magneto. Come to the living room
now."
Rogue joins the traffic to the living room.
Magneto is seen sitting cross legged on the couch.
	"I come in peace. Those who do not want to listen may help your Professor
out of his room. I have trapped him inside to talk privately to you all."
Cyclops Quickly runs out of the room.
	"I take this that all here want to hear my proposal?"

*	*	*

Cyclops blasts in vain at the Professors metallic door. Suddenly the door
opens and the Professor moves out calmly on his wheelchair.
	"Magneto was here. What did he want."
	"Sorry. I left the conversation to help you. You can ask those who
listened to his crap."
	"I'm afraid we can't Scott. Magnus left with all if them half an hour
ago."
	"WHAT"

Chapter 17

	"Professor! He has my wife and you will not help me find him!"
	"Scott. You know entering another's mind is below my principles."
	"But sir! He has my wife. Tell me what he is planning please."
	"No! Since the last time I entered his mind, I daren't enter it again."
The room is silent as the Professor recalls his past conflict with the
Master of Magnetism.

*	*	*

Jean had just broken the psi-link with the Professor, who in maintaining
the exo-skeleton enabling him to walk, was to tired to take on the Big M
by himself. Wolverine had also just opened fresh wounds on Magneto's body.
The words came to Xavier again.
	"No more Logan. Foolish, foolish man. It ends for us both now. Our long
association, my most visceral enemy, my most respected foe----IS OVER"
The terrible 'SHREKKTTHH' was heard and adamantium which long ago was
bonded to his very bones is destabalized on a molecular level, ripped from
it's moorings, and forced through his open wounds erupting outward like
water bursting through a dam!
Now that was not the part Professor Xavier most feared but the coming
event. The Professor heard the words he himself said---
	"No more Magnus--NO MORE! Logan shall be the last! No one else will ever
suffer! You caused the deaths of hundreds today, Magnus--deaths I could
have prevented had I stopped you years ago! You have killed too many
Magnus--And I have had ENOUGH! I will make sure--here and now-- once and
for all --that you NEVER kill again!"
---as he entered Magnus's mind, the mind that once was a friend, and took
away his hatred, ego and nightmares. The same way that magneto himself
took away Wolverine's adamantium.

*	*	*

	"No Scott. I will never, EVER enter magneto's mind ever again."
	"Yes sir. I will respect your decision. Can you instead find Magneto's
whereabouts on Celebro, please?"
	"That my student, I can do."

Chapter 18

	"Did I hear you right, Professor! No trace! You can't find any of them!'
	"Scott. They may have another telepath blocking me. For all you know,
Jean may very well be the one."
	"I don't believe that my wife would work hand in hand with a criminal.
Logan would definitely not follow Magneto willingly so it is safe to say
they were all kidnapped. My wife! In the hands of that criminal!"
	"Relax Scott. If I know Magnus, he would definitely not harm any of
them."
	"The problem is that you don't."

*	*	*

In another part of the world.
	"What am I doing here! The ass who ripped off my adamantium can convince
me to do this, what is wrong with me."
	"Chill out Wolvie. We got good food, a nice bed, why complain."
	"Ya. What is your adamantium compared to this."
	"Well Guile, if you had your arm ripped off, you may know how it felt to
me."
	"Well, Magneto did replace your adamantium a few years after he removed
it."
	"You guys really think this room will repulse all telepathic activity?"
	"Yes Guy I already checked."
	"Jean I respect your inspection but you could have made a mistake."
	"Okay everybody the rest is over. Get back to work."
Everybody got up with a sigh. 
	"I mean the Professor might find us, right?"
	"No Guy not a chance."

Chapter 19

	"Scott, I really appreciate you doing this but......"
	"I know the others aren't around but it is your birthday and I just can't
ignore it."
Cyclops said perched on top of a ladder trying to hang streamers all
around the room. But admit it. doing all this alone can be hard work even
for an athlete. 
	"Ye cannae do it all alone."
Moira said from the corridor. Rolling a cake cart.
	"Thanks you two but without the others it just isn't the same."
A loud explosion is heard outside the mansion.
	"What! We're being attacked."
Xavier, Cyclops and Moira rush out in to the dark Monday night. Suddenly,
another explosion shook the earth then the fireworks came. All recognized
it to be Jubilee's blasts rockets were shot and they exploded in fiery
rain. Gambit was carried by Rogue to let loose his deck of charged cards.
Several other explosions were heard before Bison and Magneto approached
the mansion carrying something big. 
	"MY GOD! It's a gigantic birthday cake."
	"Yes my old friend and worthy adversary. Happy Birthday."
	"YES! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!"
The other X-men and Street Fighters appeared from their various hiding
places and showered confetti over the astonished Xavier and Scott. Moira
however did not seem surprised. Wolverine started slicing the cake and
Nightcrawler and Archangel were busy distributing them. Presents were
presented to the honored Professor who was turning red in the face. A
little too red.
	"Professor are you alright." Cyclops expressed his concern.
Suddenly the Professor's head exploded. Everyone looked in the direction
in shock. Moira burst out laughing. Another laughter was heard in the
shadows and the real Professor glided out. Everyone was still in shock
till one started laughing then the whole gathering burst out in joyful
laughter.
	"Hey Chuck! I'm hurt. You didn't invite me to this party." Juggernaut's
voice boomed from the gate. At last what was the gate. 
Everybody looked at him silently expecting trouble. 
	"Juggy, if you're gonna make trouble you gotta face me first."
	"Nicely said X-man. But I ain't here to make trouble. To prove my
sincerity, here is my present to brother Charles."
	"Thank you Cain. I never knew you cared. Beast, bring both Cain and I
some of that cake would you."
	"What! Professor, you are going to let that ......that"
	"Brother of mine join the party. Everybody you may continue you
celebrations. The rest of tonight is for fun and games."
	"I see it and I don't believe it." Wolverine quoted.

Chapter 20

(This is not supposed to be in the story.)

	"Look! A shooting star!" Jubilee exclaimed.
The meteor approached earth.

*	*	*

In the Shi'ar empire,
(Newsflash)
	"The planet Earth has just been destroyed by a meteor impacting on
Earth."
