In our last episode, Dhalsim finally demonstrated hadou to Ryu and Ken. But the experience awakened within Ryu an energy too powerful to contain. When he released it, it was none other than the legendary hadou ken. In a baptism of battle, Ryu learned his first lesson in controlling this mighty force. Now Ken and Ryu journey to Spain, for a rendezvous with Chun Li.

In a caged arena, a wrestler gets sliced up and attacked by an opponent who is so fast it's like he can't be seen in the ring. The wrestler then sees that his opponent seems to have completely vanished.

The audience watching just laugh at him. The wrestler hears someone laughing above him, and looks up. He sees his opponent, a masked fighter, waiting on the chandelier. The masked fighter then drops down, and delivers a fatal strike, killing his opponent.

The masked fighter flicks the blood off of his claw, as the audience applaud and cheer for him.

The next day, the international Interpol conference is being held in Spain. Dorai is given an award for busting the Ashura drug syndicate, but as he couldn't have done it without Ryu and Ken, he has them present during the ceremony as well, so he can share the award with them.

Outside, Ryu says he can't believe they got an award. He hasn't been this blown away about anything since he was elected president of his 8th grade class! Ken tells Dorai that they're going to the bullfights tonight, and wants him to come along as his guest. Dorai says he wishes he could, but he's going to be busy until tomorrow with the conference. Chun Li says he should have some fun here before they have to leave, but Dorai then tells them something. The buzz is that there's a major syndicate behind the Ashura operation, and he can't rest until they find a way to beat them. He tells them to go and have fun, but tells them not to forget that Barcelona can be rough.

As the group get into a car, Dorai asks Chun Li not to get Ryu and Ken into any more trouble -he doesn't want a repeat of Hong Kong! Chun Li asks him to try and get some sleep tonight, as he's been pushing himself too hard. Dorai says he'll take a break once the conference ends. The car then drives off.

Ryu, Ken and Chun Li arrive and enter a large stadium. They've got much better seats than everyone else, and Ken starts reading through a programme. He says that the next matador is a local favorite, and his name is the Price of Bullfighting: Vega Fabio La Serda. Ryu thinks he should try saying that name 5 times fast. Ken says that Vega is Spain's most famous bullfighter.

The crowd then start going wild, and chant Vega's name. Vega then walks out.

As Vega walks out, Chun Li stands out to him. He walks up to her, and says she's a lovely girl. In her honor, he will defeat the bull today. He then passes her the rose he has, which she accepts.

Vega then glares at Ryu, and then also glares at...

...Ken. After looking at them for a few seconds, he suddenly smirks, and then walks off.

Ryu thinks Vega doesn't like them. Ken wonders if Vega thinks they're his competition for Chun Li. A bull is then released, and charges towards Vega. But he dodges it in a quick and casual manner.

After a few charges, Vega starts striking back, and starts plunging swords into the bull. The bull makes another change, but Vega stabs it one final time, killing it.

Vega raises a sword up, and the crowd cheer for him. Chun Li says she feels so sorry for the bull, but Vega then walks up to her again. He tells Chun Li that, as promised, he has slain the beast to prove himself.

He presents the proof of his victory: one of the bull's severed ears. Vega says this ear is a token of a matador's affection to a lady he loves. As he walks off, Chun Li's group go back into the stadium. Chun Li didn't like what happened to the bull, but Ryu says it's an important part of Spanish culture. Chun Li says that Vega was the star of the whole sick show. Ryu thinks she was pretty googly-eyed over Vega at first. She still can't get over that he gave her a bull's ear, she thinks she'll have nightmares all night long! As they round a corner, they see...

...Vega, surrounded by his fans. But as soon as he sees Chun Li, he walks up to her. He says that fortune smiles upon him, as he was hoping to find her. He asks if she enjoyed his battle today, but then then hear a lot of screaming behind them.

A bull has gotten loose, and is on a rampage. It charges towards two kids, as Ryu and Ken run forward. Ryu saves the kids.

Someone shows up with a gun, and takes aim at the bull, but Vega stops him from firing. He thinks this match could be interesting, and says to watch what happens. Ken then challenges the bull, which charges towards him. He leaps over it.

The bull charges again, but again Ken avoids it. He manages to land a punch on it, but the bull doesn't seem that bothered. It charges forward again.

Ken wonders how to attack this thing, he needs to find its weakness. He tries to decide on whether to go for the eyes, or the jaw. He can't tell what to do, and as he attempts to get out of the way, the bull's horn snags part of his jacket, dragging him back.

Ken gets back up and watches as the bull charges again. He still doesn't know what to do, but then Vega tells him to hit it at the base of the horns.

Ken hits it with a chop, which has enough force to break the horn off. The bull drops down dead, and Chun Li and Ryu run up to Ken.

They then notice Vega staring at them. Ken thanks for him for the save, but Vega just smiles, and then walks off.

Ken and the others head back to their hotel. As they get out of the car, they see that Vega is nearby, signing autographs for fans. Ryu thinks Vega must be staying at the same hotel they are, and Ken says his fans followed him all the way across town. He doesn't think Vega gets any privacy, and Ryu says that's the price of fame.

As they head off into the hotel, Vega comes over, and asks for a moment with Chun Li. He says he has a confession to make: when he saw her, his heart told him that somehow they were fated to be together. The other girls nearby don't get what makes Chun Li so special.

Vega tells Chun Li that when they next lay eyes on one another, she'll understand. He tells her sweet dreams, and then leaves. Ryu thinks he and Ken aren't important enough to speak to. Ken thinks the one person Vega does speak to seems to be speechless. Chun Li tells them to move it, and pushes them into the hotel.

Later on, the masked fighter is on the move, and manages to sneak into Chun Li's room. She is sleeping, so he moves up to her and touches her face.

He removes his mask, revealing he is Vega. He thinks Chun Li is such a lovely girl, God himself must have sent her from heaven to serve as his personal angel. He kisses her, just as Ken knocks on the door. He calls out to her and asks if she's alright.

He doesn't get an answer, so enters the room. He tells Chun Li to wake up, as he thought someone was... he suddenly hears something outside, and goes off to look. But he can't see anyone around, and goes back in. Chun Li wakes up, and asks Ken what the matter is.

Ryu comes in, saying he heard Ken pounding the door. Ken says he spotted someone on Chun Li's veranda. Chun Li thinks that she dreamt someone being in here with her.

On the roof of the hotel, Vega looks to the moon. He says that his and Chun Li's souls are locked together for eternity.

As Chun Li is drawn further into Vega's seductive game, Ken receives an invitation to a party. But the entertainment is a death match with Vega. Ken becomes the subject of Vega's cruel sport . How can he evade the cold claws of the matador? Can Chun Li escape Vega's plans after he drugs her?
