Chapter 6: The Mission
Chun Li was on an Interpol jet headed for Vienna. She thought about her mission.
"This crime organization is almost as big as Shadowlaw? How can that be?" Chun Li thought to herself. Her mind wandered back to when she was a teenager.
…Flashback… (Think of the last episode from SFV series)
"Oh, Ryu, Ken, I thought you guys were goners for sure," Chun Li said hugging her two friends.
"Bison would have to give us a bigger fight than that to get rid of us," Ken said
Guile walked over to the three teenagers.
"You kids sure know how to get into a lot of trouble," Guile said
They all laughed it off and many helicopters flew around them and landed.
…End Flashback…
"Agent Xiang," Chun Li heard someone say, "Agent Xiang,"
Chun Li awoke from her sleep, she was dreaming.
"Huh? What?" Chun Li said confused
"We have landed. The car outside is waiting to take you to your hotel."
"Oh, ok thank you," she replied
Chun Li walked out of the jet and got in the car which took her to the hotel she as staying in.
Back in Hong Kong…
Fei Long was watching over Darien. He decided to try and teach the baby what Chun Li's father taught him. Fei Long was showing Darien how to kick when he heard the phone ring. He went over to pick it up.
"Xiang/Hoshi residence," Fei Long said
"Hello? Fei Long is that you?" the voice asked
"Hi Ryu! Yah, it is me. I'm answering the phone because Chun Li is not here,"
"Where did she go?"
"She left to Vienna for an assignment. She wanted me to tell you that. I am also taking care of Darien too."
"Thanks for watching Darien…did she say what kind of assignment?"
"No, all I know is that it is an undercover one, so it must be dangerous."
"Hmm…well I think I'll head over to Vienna and make sure everything is alright."
"You sure Chun Li won't get mad at you for interfering with her undercover work, you know she hates that."
"Yes, I know, but I do it with the best intentions, but anyways I'll talk to you later. Thanks for watching Darien, give him my love,"
"I will. Oh, and Ryu, did you win the tournament?"
"Yah, I did. I also won 20,000 dollars too for going undefeated."
"Hey, that's cool. Well talk to ya later, bye"
"Bye,"
Fei Long continued to try and teach Darien how to kick.
In Vienna…
Chun Li was in her hotel room looking over the profiles of Interpol's wanted men. She came across Red O'Reilley. Feeling disgust towards O'Reilley, she made up her mind about bringing him down. If his empire was almost as big as Shadowlaw's was, then she definitely was not going to let him get like Bison. Chun Li's first assignment was to try and to the main building of O'Reilley's headquarters and talk to him about making a drug deal. She put on a disguise. She wore a medium length black wig and put a lot of make up on. She wore a large black trench coat with a suit underneath and high heel boots. Chun Li left the hotel and headed for the outskirts of Vienna. A backup team was following her and she was also wired.
"This is Agent Xiang getting ready to enter the parking lot of mission O'Reilley." she said telling the agents the mission was beginning.
"Copy that Agent Xiang," another agent said
Chun Li got out of the car and walked towards the building. There was tagging all over the building and bums sitting down near trash cans whistling at her. She knocked on the door.
"What's the password?" A man said from behind the door
"Ashura 21," she replied
The door opened and she walked in the building. The agents watching her made note of what was happening. In the building, a man patted down Chun Li checking to see if she has any guns or weapons.
"She's clear," the man said
The man pointed Chun Li to walk through another door. She did and she entered a grand room. It was very fancy. Another man walked up to Chun Li.
"Hello baby, my name is Wright. Sam Wright, but you can call me Mr. Wright. What brings you here?"
"I wish to speak to O'Reilley. I have business with him."
"Very well. Follow me.
Mr. Wright took Chun Li to an elevator and they went up about 35 floors. The elevator doors opened, they walked out.
"Wait here," he said
He knocked on a door and went in. He came out five minuets later.
"You can come in now."
Chun Li walked in the door and saw Red O'Reilley
"Be quick. I am not a patient man," Red said
"My name is Titi..." Chun Li started
Chun Li talked to him about making a drug deal. It took her about a half hour to convince him to make a deal with her.
"You know what Titi, I like you and that is rare that I like customers. I like your style of business. Can you have the money by tomorrow?" Red asked
"Yes. One million in twenties and hundreds?" she replied
There was a knock at the door and someone entered.
"Ah Vega, my trusted cousin,"
Chun Li couldn't believe Vega was there. She didn't want him to blow her cover so she hid her face and said goodbye.
After they agreed on everything, Chun Li left the building. She was walking to the car she came in and someone pulled her into an ally. The Interpol agents lost sight of her and checked her monitors.
"Her heart rate is rising," one said
"Where the hell is she, and who was that guy," another said
Chun Li thought Vega had noticed her and pulled her into the ally. She quickly did a high kick and broke lose from the man. She turned to see who it was.
"Ryu?! What the hell are you doing here?" she asked angered
"Fei Long told me that you were undercover in Vienna and I came here to make sure everything was alright." Ryu said
"You could have blown my cover right now and you know I hate it when you do that. Everything is fine. Go to this hotel and I'll meet you there later. Now get out of here."
Chun Li returned to her car and the agents checked on her if she was alright. She left back to the hotel.
In the hotel room…
Chun Li was on the phone with and official from Interpol.
"Yes, he said he wanted the money in twenties and hundreds…no, there is too much security…" she talked for a half an hour more.
Ryu was sitting down waiting for Chun Li to get off the phone. She finally did and he was relieved. Chun Li went over to Ryu and tried to punch him. He caught her fist but Chun Li's other hand was took quick and she hit him on the arm. He grabbed her other hand after that.
"What was that for?" He asked
"You know I hate it when you get involved in my undercover work. You could have blown my cover,"
"I didn't though, so you have nothing to be mad at,"
"Well…" she couldn't stay mad at Ryu for long, "Did you at least win the tournament?"
"Yes…and 20,000 dollars,"
"20,000? I thought it was 10,000,"
"I was undefeated…"
Ryu pulled her down on the bed still holding her wrists.
"It's good to see you again," he said and kissed her
"I know, I missed you. The baby is with Fei Long,"
"I know, I talked to him already,"
Chun Li and Ryu continued talking and she told him about the assignment.
"And right when I was about to leave I saw Vega," Chun Li said
"Vega? Is he part of this crime syndicate too?"
"I don't think so, but I do know that Vega is O'Reilley's cousin,"
"Small world…"
The next day…
Chun Li was putting her disguise on again and getting ready to go back to O'Reilley's headquarters.
"Wow, you look so different," Ryu commented
"That's the point dear," Chun Li kissed him on the forehead
Chun Li left the hotel and headed to the crime syndicate's headquarters. She showed up with the money and entered the building. She entered O'Reilley's room and saw Vega was there too. He made Chun Li a little nervous.
"Ah, Titi, its nice to see you again, set the money right here," O'Reilley said
She set the large briefcase on the desk and he opened it.
"Now where is my part of the deal?" Chun Li asked
Some men were about to bring out the drugs but the telephone rang.
"What? Bring him to me now," Chun Li overheard
Two men with guns brought in a man.
"He was lurking around outside," one of the men said
Chun Li saw it was Ryu. She got mad at him, she knew he was going to blow her cover.
"Ryu!" Vega said, "Wait a minuet…"
Vega walked over to Chun Lind he pulled off her wig.
O'Reilly was shocked.
"So, a set up I see, thought you could outsmart me, eh? Well whoever you are, who are you working for?" O'Reilly asked
"Her name is Chun Li and she's one of the top agents for Interpol and this is man is her husband Ryu Hoshi," Vega said
"Interpol's top agent and one of the greatest fighter's in the world?" O'Reilly let out an evil laugh, "let's see how Interpol would like the two of them dead on their front door, take them away to a holding room. I'll deal with them later."
Guards with guns took Chun Li and Ryu away.
"Ryu! What were you thinking? You blew my cover, I told you to stay away," Chun Li said furiously
"I was worried about you that all, I did it with the best intentions," Ryu protested
"Well look where your intentions have got us now!"
"Shut it you too," a guard said getting annoyed
Ryu gave Chun Li a look as they were walking and this look was one she had seen before. This was a look he made when they practiced sparring. She knew what he was thinking of doing.
"I don't know why I ever married at man like you." She said
"Well I don't know why I ever…NOW!!!"
Ryu and Chun Li broke out of the guards hold and kicked away their guns. They both attacked the guards and knocked them out.
"Think they can hold me prisoner, ha!" Chun Li laughed
"What do we do now?"
"Call for back up." Chun Li radioed for back up and they said that they were on their way. "Now as for O'Reilley…he's mine!"
Chun Li and Ryu snuck back to O'Reilley's office and heard him and Vega talking
"I'll kill those two. How dare Interpol think that they can infiltrate my domain?"
"Are you really going to kill them Cousin?" Vega asked
"Yes, they know too much, they must be eliminated
"Let me deal with them, I have an old score to settle,"
"No! They are mine," O'Reilley loaded his gun and started to walk out of the room and Vega followed.
The two men took the elevator down. Chun Li and Ryu followed them. Vega and his cousin reached their destination in the basement and saw other guards standing around.
"Where are the two intruders?" O'Reilley asked
"They never came here," one guard said
"That's right," Chun Li came out of hiding and knocked the gun out of his hand. Everyone went crazy and they were gunshots and fighting beginning to break out. Just when Chun Li and Ryu thought they had the upper hand O'Reilley pulled out another gun and pointed it at Chun Li.
"Stop right where you are witch!" he shouted from the back of her
Chun Li stopped, turned around and obeyed his command fearing for her life. "Is this what Rose meant?" she thought. Ryu, who was fighting a guard, lost focus and was hit on the head with a gun making him lose balance. He was dragged over to Chun Li.
"Do you have any last words, before I kill you?"
"I'll bring you down like Bison, even in my death," she replied
O'Reilley cocked the gun and shot it.
"NOOOO," Ryu said
Chun Li was ready to face her death…she felt the wind get knocked out of her and she fell to the ground, hit her head and felt a body on top of her. She felt something warm on her stomach and she touch it and saw her hands were all bloody. Just then, Interpol agents burst out from everywhere "screaming put down your weapons" and "get on the floor." From all the commotion, Chun Li passed out. Minuets later Chun Li woke up feeling someone lightly slapping her cheeks.
"Chun Li…Chun Li…wake up, wake up!" a voice said
"Agent Xiang, it's me Agent Lee…wake up!" another voice said
Chun Li woke up and looked around.
"Wh…What happened? How badly am I shot?" she asked
"You didn't get shot," Ryu said
"I didn't? But what about all the blood and the pain I felt in my chest?"
"Right before the bullet was going to hit you, Vega covered you and from being shot, and he collapsed on you," Agent Lee said
"Vega…covered me? Where is he?"
"He is being treated by our medical team,"
"I have to see him," Chun Li got up and went over to Vega who was fighting to hold on to his life. Ryu and Agent Lee followed.
"Vega…why? Why did you save me?" she asked
"I…I told you…you are the f-f-fairest, and I…love…you. I sacrificed myself so you…you could live happily," Vega replied and put his hand in Chun Li's
Ryu looked at him a bit angered yet sympathetically.
"Ryu…please take care of her," Vega said and his hand dropped and eyes closed
"Vega! Vega! No, don't die!" Chun Li cried into Ryu chest. Ryu tried to comfort her.
"Common, Agent Xiang, Ryu…let's let him rest in peace," Agent Lee said showing them to a car.
A week later at Interpol in Hong Kong…
"On behalf of the United States of America, I, Agent John Andrew Lee, present this award to Chun Li Xiang, who courageously infiltrated Red O'Reilley's Crime Syndicate and brought down one of the world's most wanted drug lords."
Everyone in the room clapped loudly for Chun Li, even the president of the United States was there. After the ceremony was over Chun Li did not feel like celebrating, she simply wanted to go home.
"Hey babe, is everything alright?" Ryu asked
"Yah…I just didn't feel like celebrating, that's all."
"How about we just take a walk in the garden?"
Chun Li agreed. The weather was warm outside which made the garden a perfect romantic atmosphere. Ryu got closer to Chun Li.
"I love you Chun Li," Ryu said
"I love you too," Chun Li replied
Ryu leaned in and kissed Chun Li. It was a sweet kiss, very loving, and very passionate. The two lovers heard a cry from the baby inside.
"Duty calls," Ryu said
"Can you make sure he's alright, I just need to do something really quick,"
"Sure,"
Ryu went inside to go check on the baby. Chun Li couldn't stop thinking about how Vega had saved her life. She didn't want him to die. She knew that he had gone through so much in his life. Chun Li walked over to a rose bush and broke off a rose. She then went over to the pond and threw the rose in.
"Vega, you were too young to go, I hope you rest in p…" Chun Li saw a reflection in the pond. The reflection had long blond braided hair and a masculine figure. She looked up and saw that whatever the water was reflecting was gone. Chun Li saw something attached to a tree. She went over to it and saw a red rose next to a letter. She opened the letter and read,
"Fairest
Live a long and happy life with your family. I realize I was wrong to take you away from them. Please accept my sincerest apology. I am always here if you need me.
Chun Li knew who the note was from. She smiled and went inside to be with her family.
"So, who feels like celebrating?" Chun Li smiled.
Ryu looked at her confused by the change of attitude.
