Welcome back to the "Hearts & Fists" world and welcome to the sequel of the original story! First off, I want to thank all of you for sticking with me so long and waiting for this story.

Hearts & Fists II: Retaliation (Current story)

Alright, let's get some mechanics out of the way. First, the story is rated T for language and violence and some themes that are suggested. Nothing overt. Second, I strongly suggest reading the original story. That way, you can know who everyone is as there are a few of OCs. Also, DISCLAIMER: I do not own the rights to any of the "Street Fighter" characters or to the rights of another OC who I based off of a character from another franchise (I'll tell you who later). Those rights belong to those amazing owners.

Enjoy and welcome to Hearts & Fists II: Retaliation!

Prologue

In his prison cell, the former leader of Neo-Shadaloo, the monster known as Guerrilla, sat in the cold and dark. As near as he could tell, the prison was somewhere in South America but, due to the secrecy of his imprisonment and the methods of getting transporting him, he wasn't entirely sure. That hardly mattered to him, though, because he knew that, soon, he would escape and be free. Then, he would have his revenge.

That was all that concerned him. Day and night, all he did was contemplate his revenge. Revenge against all those who helped defeat him and destroy his empire. He plotted the painful endings he had for his enemies and none were worse than endings he had planned for Chun-Li and, the man who defeated him in combat, Ryu.

There was a rumble in the prison.

Guerrilla smiled. His revenge was at hand.

He walked to his cell door to hear people yelling in various languages. Seconds later, he heard another explosion and rapid gunfire. He stood up and moved away from his cell door. A few minutes later, it was knocked down by a mechanized battering ram; soldiers rushed in and looked at the large terrorist.

"Sir!" one of the soldiers shouted. "We're here to get you!"

"Very good," Guerrilla smiled.

They rushed down the hallway, heading out of the cell block. They came to a common area where more soldiers with machine guns were keeping the prison guards at bay. A number of soldiers surrounded Guerrilla while they protected him from the gunfire. One of the guards, armed with only a baton, rushed at Guerrilla but another soldier descended from the ladder of helicopter in time to kick the guard in the face, knocking him out. This soldier wore a tan military outfit with a black beret, had a military grade haircut, fair skin, blue eyes, and was impressively muscular.

Guerrilla smiled. "Your skills have never failed me, Kirill."

Kirill turned around and nodded, "Thank you, sir." He brought his wrist up, a communicator tucked in the sleeve. "All units, we have the leader. Proceed with the evacuation." He looked at Guerrilla and gestured toward the ladder, "You first, sir."

"Thank you." Guerrilla began to ascend up the ladder followed by Kirill. They entered the helicopter and, after securing himself in the seat, Kirill gave the pilot the okay to take off.

Guerrilla looked at the soldiers exiting the prison via airborne and ground vehicles. He then looked over a woman wearing a blue business suit and reading glasses. "Not that I'm not grateful for the rescue, Lana, but you and Kirill took long enough."

"I'm sorry, sir," Lana replied. "They hid you well."

"I can imagine."

"We had to search through a lot of records to even get a clue as to where you are," Kirill said.

"Hmm. I imagine Cammy White had something to do with that."

"I imagined the same."

"How are you, sir?" Lana asked.

"Just fine," Guerrilla answered. He chuckled. "Though, I am feeling a little… vengeful." He looked at Lana, "What is the status of the others?"

"Much easier to find, sir. As Kirill said, you were the hardest to track down."

He chuckled again, "Naturally."

"We should be able to extract them all and get them to Dubai in about eight days," Kirill added.

"After two years, that is just fine. Patience is something I've never had a problem with."

"What is our next plan, sir?"

He thought it over. That was a good question. He had plenty of time to consider revenge but not exactly how to go about it. "I assume we have already prepped the next stages of our plan."

"Yes, sir."

"We have the next targets designated, sir," Lana said.

"Then all that's left is to deal with the two who defeated me." Soon, the perfect word for his revenge came to him. He smiled and declared, "And I know how to do that."

"How so, sir?"

"Retaliation."
