Zen and the Art of Magical Bonding Between Former Child Soldiers

by Quatermass

(Inspired by Blood Brandy! Udon SF!) After the final battle, Harry leaves Britain to find himself. Unfortunately, doing so via a drunken bender in Las Vegas was probably not a good idea, especially as it now means he is married to one of the top assassins of Shadaloo...who is now free from her brainwashing. Harry and Cammy must now help others to stop Bison and his ambitions...

1. Foreword

FOREWORD

I have to confess, fighting games were never really my style. But one of the very first I saw in the arcades, even if I never played it, was Street Fighter II. I also have dim memories of playing that game on the SNES of a friend. But even so, the most I played of any fighting game was the Super Smash Bros series, as well as Dragonball licensed games like the Budokai series.

However, I have become aware that Street Fighter actually has something of a rich mythos, and that it was turned into a comic series by Udon. Recently, I decided to take the plunge, having watched the first motion comic adaptation of the comics, and decided I wanted to do a crossover. There's not enough good crossovers between Harry Potter and Street Fighter, with most of them being Gamer95's 'Project Motherhood' fics (where a crossover character adopts an abused pre-Hogwarts Harry as their son, at least in the Potterverse stories).

This, I hope, will change all that. I intend to do other stories, including perhaps one based on the challenge I posted in the forums of DZ2 and whitetigerwolf…of a Harry raised by Gouken, as the little brother of Ryu. Look for 'Hadou Harry' in those forums if you're interested. This story is based heavily on the Udon comics, though with one key difference: Cammy loses her brainwashing long before she encounters Rose, and this time, she doesn't lose her memories.

In trying to find the right beginning for this story, I eventually settled on a variant of Blood Brandy's Vegas Vacation, although unlike my prior foray into that concept, this features a post-Hogwarts Harry. I decided on this, after the initial version of the story, because it means Harry is free from having to go back to Britain, and so there's less trouble integrating the Street Fighter storyline.

Anyway, time for the usual disclaimers. Firstly, there will be spoilers for both Harry Potter and Street Fighter.

Secondly, there will be heavy annotations, as is usual for my works. You have been warned.

Thirdly, this is an M-Rated work. There will be coarse language, violence, dark themes and sexual references. Again, you have been warned.

Finally, the following is a fan-written work. Harry Potter and Street Fighter are the properties of their respective owners. Please support the official release. Otherwise, Akuma will kill you with the Raging Demon…
