Chun Li and Eric got in their fighting stances getting ready to face each other in a match. Eric got into a fight stance of Shorinji Kempo. "Well, well, what an unfortunate turn of events, to have a former champion of street fighter arrive here face the new challenger, even if she isn't part of the tournament, but hey let's just watch it just for the hell of it." The announcer announced.

"I don't know how do you know about Gen, but that is the least of my concern right now." Chun Li blunted. "It shouldn't surprise you my dear, I know lots of fighters." Eric shot back. As the bell ranged, the two of them began to sidestep considering who will make the first move. Eric tapped his right foot as he vanished from Chun Li's sight within an instant. Chun Li later spotted him in the air launching a jump kick at her quickly she blocked his attack launched at her.

"As expected from Chun Li, nice quick reflexes." He complimented. "Well, now it's my turn." Chun Li shot back about to make her move. Chun Li launched some round house kick and then released a barrage of kicks at Eric. Eric struggled to block all the kicks.

He then caught one of legs and grasped it tightly. Chun Li smirked at him for a moment as countered him by doing her Spinning bird kick. Eric was aware of her moves as he block her other kick and tossed her in the air, she then landed back on her feet. "Guess I should watch myself around you." Chun Li replied on guard.

"Nonetheless, I'm also quite agile on my feet as well." Chun Li charged. She released a barrage of punches hoping that his will not counter. Eric had done the same thing. The two of them exchange fist by fist hoping to hit a hit. Eric caught her hands and had then grappled, but using this opportunity Chun Li launched a kick at Eric as he was unable to guard her attack. Stricken from the attack he wiped the bruise off his face. "Now…it's time to get serious." Eric sneered.

Chun Li launched another jab on him, but countered her by throwing her to the ground. He pinned her down as he had her arm on lock. "Too bad Chun Li…looks like victory is mine, so I think its best you'd surrender now." Eric gloated. "Don't count your victory just yet." Chun Li broke free from his grasp.

Chun Li attack Eric again with multiple kick. "This again," he said defended himself from her kicks. She did a side kick on Eric unexpectedly striking him.

She then launched out an energy ball projectile attack. "Kikoken…!" she called out. Eric was already on the ropes after her attack. "I'm not done just yet." Eric shouted. He launched in the air for an attack as Chun Li defended his multiple palm attacks. He then struck her in the face bruising her left cheek. She noticed the wound as she wiped off her cheek still willing to fight. The two of them charged at each other for a final strike to insure victory between one another; however, Chun Li powerful kicks overpowered Eric's defense putting him down. "And the winner…Chun Li." The announcer announced as the crowd cheered for her. "Looks like I won." Chun Li cheered. She smiled and put two fingers up winking at the audience. "Wow Chun Li…you really did a number on him." Po Lin noticed looking at Eric's unconscious body and saw him bleeding from his forehead. "Oh my…!" Chun Li feared with her hand over her mouth for Eric's health.

"For the last time don't worry about it, you didn't hurt me too badly, and like you said no holding back." Eric laughed. "Still, I'm sorry about that." She apologized. "It's no wonder you were known once before as the strongest woman in the world." Po Lin remembered. "Po Lin, don't say that." Chun Li replied embarrassed. "Wow…strongest woman in the world, really: I want to hear more." Eric said interested. "Yeah, she was once in a Street fighter tournament beating up every random guy that came her way. She also always got cocky a lot in the field." Po Lin said. "Stop it Po Lin…I was young back then." Chun Li begged. Chun Li looked down embarrassed with her past life. "Well, wish I could talk about you more, but I have to get to work. See you later Chunners." Po Lin said running off. "Chunners huh…I wonder what else do you go by?" Eric wondered.

"Ahem, never mind that I was looking for you, so I could ask questions." Chun Li assured. "Really, what kind of questions my dear?" Eric asked. "I read in your profile that you had recent encounters with Shadaloo." Chun Li reminded. "That's a little mean…reading into someone's personal file without their consent." Eric smudged. "I don't mean to invade your privacy, but I have to read list of people involve with Shadaloo. If you have any information then I want you to tell me." Chun Li said. "What a shame and here I thought you'd taken an interest in me." Eric guessed as she went in close to Chun Li. "Shadaloo is long gone, but if you need to know …as far I can remember…I faced off with a lot of thugs related to Shadaloo. My mother was a scientist that was threatened to work for Shadaloo. They paid her a large sum of money to do so, and what a relief she really needed it, for she about to lose her business and be put out on the street, but even so working for Shadaloo and hurting innocent people was still destroying her inside. She was one Bison's best scientist. She could not stand it anymore so she committed suicide afterwards at least that what I've have been told." Eric explained.

"Is that all…?" Chun Li asked. "Yep…that's the whole story." Eric said with a sincere smile.

"By the way weren't you working with that muscular soldier and that British chick?" Eric asked. "You mean Guile? Something else came to him, he working on another case, same with Cammy, so I'm sort of short staffed. I could really use you help, but until they make their move I'm on standby for now." Chun Li replied. "I will be more than happy to help you out on your investigation Chun Li whoever these foes are." Eric accepted. "All I found out is that most of the men are former Shadaloo henchmen, and there working for an unknown different organization, but whatever it is looks like trouble, and I have my suspicion something is going on." Chun Li reported. "Well this outta be fun working alongside with you." Eric cheered.

"It's a life and death situation, it isn't supposed to be fun." She shot back.

"Hey, I'm just joking, I'll take this more seriously." Eric joked. "Hey what's that over there?" Eric spotted thug in a shady deal. "Must be one of their drug dealings, if we can stop him, then I may be able to get some questions from him." Chun Li suggested.

A gang of thugs surrounded Chun Li and Eric to cover the other guy deal. "We don't like you interfering with us cop woman. Stay out of this or we are going to mess up that pretty face of yours as well as your boyfriend here." The thugs threatened. "You guys never learn do you?" Chun Li chirped.

Chun Li leaped into action knocked out the thugs with multiple kicks. Eric admired Chun Li from the sidelines as she took out the thugs. "I'll bet you're a pushover compared to her." The thug threatened Eric. "You shouldn't judge a book by its cover pal." Eric stated.

The thug swung a right hook at Eric, but easily avoided the attack as Eric countered his arm and pinning him down. A second charged in at Eric, but did a powerful thrust punch at the thug taking him down completely. "Quite the fan club you have here." Eric complimented.

"Very Funny…" she replied.

Moments later all the thugs were tied up as she prepared to question them. "All right talk, who do you guys work for?" Chun Li demanded. "Screw off woman! Do you think we'll tell you anything?" The thug shot back. Chun Li got into her fighting stance ready to attack. "Best better do what the lady tells you boys…those legs of hers pack quite a WALLOP, and she won't hold back for criminals like you." Eric warned.

"Okay, okay, the person we work for is…" he paused, but before he could answer her question the men were all gunned down by a long distance sniper as Chun Li and Eric got on guard after the attack. "A sniper…?" Chun LI asked.

Eric picked up one of the bullets. "A good sniper in the least, whoever these guys seems to be very serious about their organization?" Eric observed.
