Prologe – Scheming shadows

A grand hall at an unknown location was covered in darkness and smoke. The only sound rushing through the thick air was the hissing of machines. A tube in the center of the hall opened its grand sliding doors, revealing a shadowy figure bathed in dark light. Its outlines gave away the form of a towering bald man with a bulky muscular stature.

His robotic voice echoed through the hall "Status report! Has the dark source been found?"

Out of the mist stepped two figures. One of them a tall slender yet still muscular male with long braided hair, his face apparently covered by metal. The other a rather small female with her hair made up like horns.

The female answered with an evil yet playful voice "We found it, oh great master….hihi…the time is ripe to proceed as they are at their weakest now!"

"They won't know what happened to them until it is too late!" said the masked one.

The huge shadow stepped out of the tube, his eyes glowing with evil purple light. "Good….proceed as planned…the time of rebirth is near….revenge will be ensured!"

Chapter 1 – Happy Family

It was a beautiful and warm afternoon and the summer-sun bathed the area outside of Hong-Kong with sunlight, shining on top of a lonely house adorned with a large garden area complete with an artificial waterfall in the back.

The house had a distinct Japanese architecture and gave the impression of a samurai living there. The inside of the house was very modern in contrast. With hardwood floors, several open rooms separated with solid walls, an end-of-the-line kitchen as well as a large dining and living room enlightened by the glass windows and glass doors leading to the rear porch, overlooking the beautiful Chinese garden.

The main door opened and inside stepped a Chinese beauty dressed in a tailored blue qipao dress with gold edges and adornments. The white waistband with its stitched blue dragon fitted the dress onto her perfectly shaped body. Her hair was done in her trademark ox horns hidden by white brocades along with white ribbons and she wore large white boots.

The beautiful woman was Chun-Li; famed martial artist, Street Fighter and successful Interpol agent.

She lived in this house together with her beloved husband Ryu Hoshi. The two warriors met and fell in love at the Street Fighter tournament which was hosted by the sinister organization Shadaloo and its leader M. Bison. After the tournament the two of them decided to move together to Hong Kong and not long after got married.

Their love for each other was so great that after only one year of marriage they became a real family when Chun-Li got pregnant with their daughter Mei-Lin and three years later the family grew even larger with the birth of their son Ryan.

Chun-Li put her purse on the wardrobe and looked around; puzzled by the silence running through the house.

"Ryu-honey…I'm home!" Chun-Li playfully called out.

Not receiving an answer, she noticed a letter neatly laid out on a table near the entry. She picked up the note and read to herself 'Hello my spring beauty….went for a walk with our little big boy…will be back for dinner…Love, your dragon!'

Chun-Li smiled and gave a slight sigh of relive. 'Since I'm alone for a change, I can continue reading that romance novel!' She thought to herself while changing her boots for some comfortable fluffy house shoes.

Chun-Li walked to the bookshelf and paused for a minute, looking at the framed photos on top of it. It always put a warm smile on her face, recalling some of the best moments in her life. Moments like her and Ryu's wedding or the days she gave birth to her children.

She picked up one of the frames with a family photo inside. Her beloved husband in his trademark white gi standing proud and tall, Chun-Li sitting elegantly on a chair next to him, wearing her own trademark qipao, their daughter Mei-Lin standing in front of Ryu wearing a cute Chinese dress and their son Ryan sitting on Chun-Li's folded legs wearing a white t-shirt with a dragon imprint and shorts.

Chun-Li's smile grew bigger at the happy faces they all had on that picture. She put the frame down and reached for her novel when her eyes focused on a different frame on the wall.

It contained an old photograph of an 8-year old Chun-Li grinning and posing with a junior-martial-arts trophy she just won. The older man standing next to her with his arms around her was Chun-Li's father Dourai Xiang. It was the last happiness they shared before her father got kidnapped, tortured and killed by the criminal organization known as Shadaloo.

The smile on Chun-Li's face faded and a tear started to form in her eye. "Dad, I miss you. I hope you are proud of me…I wish you could see how great your grandchildren are developing."

With a sigh she wiped the tear away and took a seat on her beanbag with her novel.

Chun-Li was neck deep inside the romantic story, smiling and giving away an "Aaaw!" every now and then, when a knock on the glass window pulled her out of focus.

"Mommyyy….please open uuup!" Mei-Lin yelled while standing on the rear porch and peeking through the glass with her brown eyes.

The 9-year young Mei-Lin wore some jeans, running shoes, a Chinese styled sleeveless white shirt and a school backpack and had her dark brown hair open down to her shoulders.

Chun-Li put the novel aside and opened the door. "Hey sweet-pea….why didn't you use the front door?"

Mei-Lin stepped inside and said "It was locked from the inside, mom! I thought dad was home today, watching my little brother!"

Chun-Li chuckled "Hmm...I guess I locked the door behind me without noticing…. your father took Ryan for a stroll, but they should be back soon. Why don't you get started with setting the table and I'll see what I can cook us for dinner."

Mei-Lin gave her mother a hug and said, "Okay mommy."

Chun-Li got herself set in the kitchen to cook some spicy chicken with fried rice when she heard the front door open.

"Hellooo...anyone home?"

Ryu's voice put a big smile on Chun-Li's face. She left the kitchen to welcome her husband.

"Hello you two strollers….where's my big boy?" Chun-Li got down on her knee and opened her arms for the 6 year young Ryan who was already approaching his mother with a happy smile.

She embraced her son and picked him up.

Ryan giggled and said "Hi mommy. Daddy and I went for a walk and he got us some ice cream!"

Chun-Li smiled and said with a playful serious tone "Did he now!? Ice cream before dinner!"

Ryu closed in on his wife sporting a huge grin on his face and said while poking his son "Traitor!"

He then gave his wife a long kiss on her lips and asked, "Hello beautiful, did you miss us?"

"Oh, I was sooo worried!" She playfully replied. "Come on you two…wash your hands and get seated; dinner will be ready soon!"

That being said, Ryu didn't want to delay dinner any longer, so he took Ryan off Chun-Li to wash up.

Soon the Hoshi family was enjoying their usual dinner, exchanging stories of the day and filling up on Chun-Li's delicious cooking. After dinner the family relaxed in the living room with the parents enjoying literature while the young ones were playing together.

As the night was settling in, the family retired to bed.

-RCL-

Chun-Li was cuddling up to her husband in bed. She enjoyed listening to his heartbeat while he gently caressed her hair and neck.

While moving his fingers up and down Chun-Li's spine, Ryu asked her "Hey honey, tomorrow is your day off...right?"

She replied "Yeah, why?"

"Got any plans while I'm at the dojo?"

"Yeah, I'm meeting Mai tomorrow for a bit of shopping."

Ryu raised an eyebrow "Mai?"

Chun-Li lifted herself up from Ryu's chest to look into her husband's eyes. "You know…Mai Shiranui!"

Ryu was still looking at her as if she talked a different language. Chun-Li tried to make him remember "She's married to Andy Bogard! We attended their wedding together...don't you remember?...Same height as me, long dark hair, curvy figure and a rather revealing red and white ninja outfit!"

Ryu now said with a grin on his face "Oohh…Yes…Mai…now I remember her!"

"There you…..HEY!" Chun-Li grabbed her pillow and started banging Ryu with it, angry at him for only remembering her friend's curviness.

"Hehe…hey, come on, I'm just kidding" Ryu said laughing while trying to defend against the pillow-punching "Of course I remember Mai!"

"You're such a jerk!" Chun-Li yelled at him while keep hitting him with the pillow.

Suddenly Ryu grabbed his wife's arms and thrust her onto her back while sitting on top of her with a playful smile. Chun-Li struggled to escape until he forced a kiss on her lips.

"As if I would desire anyone but you, my spring beauty."

Chun-Li gave him a cute angry look back. "Hmph! You're just lucky that you're so damn cute!"

Ryu smiled and kissed her again; this time Chun-Li didn't resist. She put her hands on the back of his head and pressed her lips deeper into his eventually forcing her tongue into his mouth.

Ryu broke the kiss and looked deep in her eyes. He passionately whispered "I love you Chun-Li!"

Hearing that gave Chun-Li a huge smile and she whispered back "I love you too Ryu!"

Ryu, becoming overwhelmed by the growing passion, reached for one of her breasts and started gently massaging it. Chu-Li's body heated up and she started to lose herself when suddenly her hand took a hold of his wrist.

She whispered into his ear "Ryu, no! The kids could hear us!"

Ryu though disappointed at first started to grasp reality. Not wanting his children to walk in on them either he dismounted his wife.

"You're right. Well, let's call it a night then. Good night, my love!"

Chun-Li replied with a smile and a kiss "Good night, Ryu. Sweet dreams."

-RCL-

The Hoshi family was sound asleep and completely oblivious to the shadowy figure outside their house.

Watching the blissful evening through a spyglass in prone position, the young lady just thought to herself 'Enjoy it while you can….your worst nightmare will soon come true!'

An evil grin ran across her face and one of her eyes gave off a single spark made of an unholy purple glare!

A good day for the happy family in Chapter 1 but that soon is about to change! For who might that female be who shadows the Hoshis and what has she schemed!?

Stay tuned for Chapter 2 to find out.
