Bison's body dissolved as Sakura growled at him. She knew he will appear once more, indestructible like every powerful things that exist.
She looked at her hands, and to the machine. The voice somehow appeared once more.
You saved the world you know. See what I meant? Awakening is the ultimate recipe for that selfish gnat!
Sakura readied her hands as she weaved two Hadoukens again.
What are you doing?
She smirked.
Finishing the ashes.
And she launched two of it. The whole base singed in flames as she escaped with Ryu, still unconscious while seeping little energy in his slumber.
He's foolish enough to blind you in this power. Now, he sleeps in his restless belief.
Sakura sat beside him, sensing nothing. Her fingers flickered at her touch, and she glared at herself
No...
She grasped a little blue orb, crackling with vitality. Her crimson eyes became soulless, turning into white.
... he spared this because he didn't want you.
What the-- no! Stop it!!!
It was too late. Sakura infused the blue orb into Ryu's chest, travelling into his veins, and emitted a low grunt, feeling his senses back to him as well as his energies. He sat up, only to see Sakura's emotionless state, like a pale ghost.
After a few moments, she passed out. Landing in the soft grass as it became... warm? Inside her mind, she was confused.
"Sakura?" Ryu asked himself. "What the... my powers should've vanished. But, she returned it..."
Finding the answer in silence, he stood up and carried Sakura out of the frayed display of the Shadaloo base. Ryu's thoughts was flooded with questions that he couldn't answer, walking away seem to brush it off.
And it worked for him, at least. He will find them later.

"Sakura? Sakura! Wake up!"
Sakura's eyes saw Karin looking down at her worriedly, her frame seem to ease the rich heir of the Kanzuki family, and she sat up.
"Jeez, what the heck is happening to you?" Karin asked fearfully. "Do you meet some random fight or just making stuff up?"
"No... more like an assassination attempt, but gladly a taser just set me up."
Karin sighed in relief as she sat down on the bed beside her. Fingers fidgeting and then, she stopped as she was about to flood Sakura with a set of efforts done in the last night.
"Who am I to think those things anyway? You defeated that meathead all alone then this fake-decoyed assassin appears out of nowhere hoping to get your death sentence so easily? Seriously, that's ridiculous."
Sakura looked down but then, she saw the morning in the window pane.
"I'm really not minding it..."
"Also, Ryu brought you here." Karin looked at the ceiling. "I began to wonder. He went missing for almost four years now, but then he shows up? I don't get it."
This time, Sakura looked at Karin firmly.
"Well, this even more ridiculous."
"What?"
"I was going to the Suzaku Castle, hoping I would find Ryu there, but this random person which speaks half-robotic fought with me, then brought me to the Shadaloo base somewhere out of where the hell it is. There was Bison, and the last thing I saw is that I pulled out what was left of my sanity and used it to wake up Ryu... then here we are."
Karin raised an eyebrow at her. "Wait... that woman saying like an army dog?"
"Almost."
"Then she is a Doll." Karin frowned. "It was not done yet. I knew it!"
"So... what now?" Sakura asked quite curious.
Karin stood up, and put her fist with her other hand.
"We have to clear that last base you said you were in then! I'm sure an another mayhem will take up in pace if we keep sitting around."
"Miss Karin?" Ishizaki was peeking out of the door.
"Yes?"
Ishizaki gave her a piece of paper. "I believe this is your answer."
Karin and Sakura looked at the red-colored paper.
"Seems they're hosting it again?"
Karin smirked.
"Then we will head there... probably."
