At the top of the cliff, Ryu is training. Honda comes out of a hut nearby, and tells him to take a break.



They hear some thunder in the distance, and Honda thinks it looks like the weather is going to take a turn for the worst. They then hear something else, and then see Guile's helicopter coming down. Guile jumps out, and the helicopter leaves.



Guile runs over to them and introduces himself. He explains that Ken has been abducted by Shadowlaw, and is about to be used as a terrorist. Ryu says there's no way Ken would assist a criminal organization, but Guile says that Ken is under mind control.



Vega's jet suddenly appears -Honda thinks they're having a lot of visitors today. As the jet lands, some stairs open on the side of it, and Ken steps out.



As Ken walks down, Vega also appears. Guile says Vega has appeared at last, and Vega tells him it has been a while. He says that all of the actors are here, and they have the perfect stage. Ryu asks him what he intends to do with Ken.



Vega says he has had Ken become a Shadowlaw fighter in Ryu's place. Ryu runs towards him, but when he does, Ken suddenly whips off his cloak and jump kicks Ryu.



Ken says nothing, and stares at Ryu. Vega says that Ken is now a killing machine that he's created -he asks Ryu if he thinks he can defeat him. Ken is a machine that now operates solely to defeat him. Guile tells Vega he can't let someone like him have his own way.



Vega laughs at his sense of justice, and says that it's the evil mind that is the source of all power. He teleports down, and says Ken will demonstrate this now. Honda thinks it'd be quicker to just do in Vega now, instead of listening to his speech. He charges towards Vega, but as he gets to him, Vega teleports out of the way, whilst Ken hits him on the back.



Bison jumps down from the jet, and Honda crashes into him. Bison says he will be his opponent. Vega then teleports over to Guile, and asks him if he can't see the reason why he won't win.



Ryu tells Ken to wake up, but Ken kicks him into a tree. Ryu tells him to snap out of it, but Ken doesn't respond.



Bison punches Honda a few times, then gets him with a headbutt. But Honda hits him back with a headbutt of his own. Meanwhile, Guile tries to punch Vega, but he keeps teleporting around.



Vega asks him what's wrong -doesn't he want to avenge his best friend? Guile tries to punch him, and then does a somersault kick, but Vega keeps teleporting out of the way of his attacks. Guile then throws out a projectile called the sonic boom...



...but Vega teleports out of the way of that as well, leading to only his cape being damaged. The hut gets cut down by the sonic boom, but Vega says that was feeble. He uses his psycho power to blast Guile off the cliff.



Bison and Honda charge into each other, and start rolling. They end up rolling off the cliff, and drop down below. Meanwhile, Vega goes down to where Guile has landed.



He sees that Guile is still alive, and goes to grab him, but then stops. Guile says they haven't finished things yet, but Vega ignores him, and walks away. Back up above, Ken continues to attack Ryu.



Ryu tells him to wake up, as he doesn't want to fight with him when he's like this. Ken continues to fight, and after hitting Ryu a few more times, charges up a hadouken in the air...



...and throws it out. Ryu rolls out of the way just in time to avoid it, but Ken then resumes kicking him. He picks Ryu up by his hair.



As he stares at Ryu, he has a vision of the red bandanna he gave him... but then starts attacking him again.



After punching Ryu several times, he stops. As Ryu takes a stance, Ken sees another vision, of the younger Ryu he used to spar with... but he then snaps out of it, and kicks him again.



Ryu falls down, but as he gets back up, Ken sees the younger Ryu again.



Ken suddenly jumps up, seemingly confused about what is happening. Ryu says to take a good look at him, and Ken says Ryu's name. But the moment he does, Vega appears. He calls Ken a failure, and grabs him by the head.



Vega blasts him with psycho power, and then sends him flying away. Ryu starts to run towards Ken, but Vega gets in the way. Ryu tells him to move, but Vega wants to see his fighting ability. Ryu tells him to get out of the way, but Vega says he's all talk and no action -he should hurry up and fight him, so he can save his friend. Ryu runs towards Vega.



At the dojo, Ryu tells Ken that he is leaving. Ken says he'll be leaving in two or three days too. The two say their goodbyes, and then bump fists.



It's revealed this is a dream Ken is having, who has landed some distance away. Meanwhile, Ryu attempts to fight Vega, but he can't land a single attack on him. Vega blasts him with some psycho power, and says he should submit to him, so he can become one of Shadowlaw's warriors.



Ryu says he'd never do that, and Vega sees he still has the strength to resist him -he's quite the fighter. Ryu tells him to shut up, as Vega prepares to use his psycho power again.



At the dojo, Ken tells Goutetsu that he is going. Goutetsu tells him that one day he will no doubt face an opponent whom he must defeat in the sense beyond that of winning or losing. The meaning of the training he has done is to progress along the path toward that day. Ken wonders what he means by beyond winning or losing, but there is no answer. Vega suddenly flings the dojo's doors open, and says it's something he can teach him!



Ken wakes up from his nightmare, and can't remember what happened. He tries to get up, but he can't get his legs to move. He has to crawl up, and he sees Vega's jet. He remembers what happened earlier.



He then also sees Ryu fighting Vega, and remembers who Vega is. He tries to get up, but ends up falling back down again. He manages to stand, and goes into a stance. He starts to meditate, chanting to take in the sun for the power of life, to train his spirit to produce God, discipline God to reach nihility.



As he continues chanting, Goutetsu's voice can be heard saying the same things Ken is saying. Goutetsu says that mastering Yin and Yang produces a master, then the master produces power. Goutetsu tells Ken it is a question of what he sees beyond his fist, and then tells him to awaken.



Back at the fight, Vega is crushing one of Ryu's fists, and asks him if this is all the power he has. But he suddenly turns around, and has to teleport out of the way -a second before Ken leaps in and nearly punches him. Ken tells Ryu they meet again at last, but they'll have to properly greet each other later -after they've destroyed this monster!



Vega rips what's left of his cloak off, and says he'll fight them on their own level. Ken immediately jumps in with a couple of kicks, but Vega elbows him in the face.



Ryu tries to kick him, but Vega starts to choke him. Ken kicks Vega in the side, and then Ryu throws him. But Vega lands safely, and says that as they managed to strike him, they're both worthy of his praise.



Ken tries some more kicks, but again takes an elbow to the face. Ryu rushes in with multiple punches...



...but Vega avoids them all, and then slams him into the ground. He goes to stomp on Ryu, but Ken tackles him. Vega throws Ken into Ryu, and then charges through both of them with a flying slide kick.



Ryu jumps up and kicks him, and then manages to punch and kick Vega several times. He finishes him off with another jump kick...



...but Vega recovers midair, and after striking Ryu in the face, he elbows him in the back. With Ryu knocked down, Vega is still impressed that he managed to get to him, even if it was just for a mere moment.



Ken then rushes in and attacks, and as Vega starts blocking his moves, Ryu recovers. He grabs Vega's legs, and tells Ken to do it now. Ken performs a tatsu maki sen pu kyaku on Vega...



...and Ryu then hits him with a shoryuken. Ken says this is it, and starts to charge up a hadouken. Vega recovers, and sees that...



...both Ryu and Ken are charging up their hadoukens. They throw them out at the same time, and the two projectiles become one, which smashes into Vega. He attempts to block it, but he can't do it.



He gets sent crashing into his jet, which explodes. Honda walks back up, having carried Bison and Guile. He sees that Vega's jet has been destroyed.



A few days later, several helicopters are dispatched to destroy Shadowlaw's main base. They open fire on the mountain, and the base explodes.



Elsewhere, Guile gets a call from the hospital, telling him to get there urgently. He thinks something must have happened to Chun-Li, so he gets there as fast as he can.



But as he enters her room, he finds he is too late. She has died. Guile says that he took revenge on Vega for them, as he promised.



But then Chun-Li turns out to be not dead as she gets up and says she knows -she presents a surprised Guile with a paper, which has a front page about the successful joint operation between Interpol and the U.S. army. Guile is more concerned with her joke -she'd tricked him! He tosses her back onto her bed and starts tickling her.



Ryu and Ken are waiting outside a restaurant. Ken says that the next time they meet, they've got an old score to settle. They bump fists, and then see that Eliza has arrived.



Ken asks Ryu if he wants a lift, but Ryu says he's going to walk. Ken gets into his car, and asks where Ryu will go now, but Ryu says he doesn't know. Ken tells him he's become strong, and Ryu tells him so has he. Ken says goodbye, as he and Eliza drive off.



Ryu picks up his bag, and starts to walk off in the opposite direction. But not long after he does, a truck appears behind him. Ryu starts to turn around...



...and sees that the truck is heading straight for him! He also can't believe who's driving it: Vega!




"Heeee-YAH!"
