That afternoon a few months after the assault on S.I.N, Guile and Chun Li were at a calf going on about their work. "So S.I.N was destroyed without news on what happen to Seth's body." Guile asked. "Yeah, so far throughout this investigation we had nothing on them even after you came in." Chun Li replied.
"Still it felt a little too easy, but the way where is Eric, Ryu and Sakura?" Guile wondered.
"He left without saying a word after we got out of the base. Ryu went back to his training and Sakura went back to Japan." She answered.
"Well we can't afford to let our guard down no matter what somebody out there is pulling the strings and I won't rest until I know Shadaloo is gone for good or at least until I have Bison's head. Aside from that I'm still investigating the whereabouts of Charlie." Guile said.
"Even if all that evidence we're right back where we started." Guile said drinking coffee. "So the evil still goes unpunished with all the abduction and murder of the fighters."
"The real threat is still out there I know It." she said. Chun Li quickly turned her head quickly as she thought she felt Seth's presence, but was actually a big muscular French fighter with the similar eyes to Seth.
"We can take it easy for now, but we can't rest yet." Guile suggested.
"15 has been eliminated sir, but the 26 still remain. The BLECE project has been destroyed. I'll file the paper work in the morning, Understood." Viper reported.
Chun Li walked around town wondering what to do next. Po Lin had caught up to her. "Hey Chun Li." She called out. "Po lin you're out of the hospital?" Chun Li asked glad to see her. "Yep, I healed well in no time." She said waving her arm.
"So how'd it go?" she asked.
"We attacked S.I.N, but came up short handed." Chun Li answered.
"That's too bad, seems like all your efforts were all for nothing, either way where is that handsome friend of yours." Po Lin wondered.
"He left without saying a word, not even a good bye. That jerk." Chun Li complained.
"Cut the guy a break, maybe he's a bit too shy around you to even consider it. That's how must guys are." Po Lin suggested.
"I like you Chun Li." Eric confession echoed into Chun Li's head.
"Yeah, maybe he is too shy, but then again. I'm not a fan of shady people." Chun Li paused.
"Still he's a nice guy you should give him a chance he seems to really like you. Let him take you out." Po Lin suggested.
Chun Li begin to blush after Po Lin's statement. "Come on Po Lin we are not that close together, and besides work comes first." She denied.
"Okay, don't be a spoil sport." Po Lin replied.
"Well wherever Eric is I certainly would like to give him a piece of my mind for leaving behind my back. Leaving me out in the dust like that." Chun Li said cracking her fist.
Po Lin smiled at Chun Li's anticipation. "Well I outta get to work now, so I'll see you soon." She said leaving. "Yeah, see you later." Chun Li replied. Chun Li went walking across town wondering what to do next.
"Come on pal, all I did was just doing getting a slight peak, so it can't be that bad." Eric defended. "You stick your nose around here again and I'll cut your freaking balls off!" The owner shouted. Eric ran out of the hot springs as fast as he can away from the grumpy owner.
"Well that was a close one." Eric sighed. "That was the greatest peak of a lifetime."
"If you want to peak at naked girls might I suggest the internet?" Chun Li asked.
"Yeah, that's one, but then it would not be any fun." Eric replied. "Chun Li, what a pleasant surprise?" Eric greeted as he noticed Chun Li behind. "To think I was actually worried about your disappearance, and here I find you being a peeping tom. I outta arrest you for that." Chun Li companied. She grabbed Eric by the ear.
"Oh come on Chun Li don't be cruel." Eric begged. "That is not when I'm about to ask you out on a movie." Eric defended. Eric held some movie tickets to Chun Li.
"The new movie about a romance tale that you have always wanted to see but work has kept you busy. You could use the relaxation for a while." Eric replied. Chun Li grabbed one of the tickets blushing. "Okay fine, I'll accept your offer, and if I have a good time I'll forgive you, but I better not see you harassing anymore women." Chun Li replied.
"Ha, harass? I consider it giving my fare greetings." Eric laughed.
"Whatever I'll see you then." She said.
That afternoon Chun Li waited at the movie theater dressed up casual in wear waiting for Eric. She checked her watch to make sure she was one time. "Hey, hope I didn't keep you waiting long." Eric greeted. "Your five minutes late so what do you think?" She replied.
"Shall we go on in my dear?" Eric greeted like a gentlemen. He lead her in as her placed his arm around Chun Li's shoulder. "Don't you get carried away?" She said hitting his hand off.
Chun Li and Eric watched the movie on two lovers faced each other on the battlefield from different family statues. "I love you, why can't you understand that." The man said. "I…can't, I can't be with you because of our social statues." The woman replied turning her face away from the man in shame crying.
"It doesn't matter of our social statues we are meant for each other regardless of our bloodline." The man fought. The man grasped the women's hand in deep affection. The women continued to turn him away in tears due to her family statues.
"Then we will run away start our own life away from her families, we don't need their consent in order to be together. All we have is each other." The man pleaded fighting for the women's affection.
"Then we will have each other no matter what our family statues might be, as long as I'm with you then I feel safe." The women accepted his feelings. "I must learn to be strong like you, but over time."
"Then we will travel the world together, and start a new life." He announced the world. The man and women held each other by the beach looking at the sunset. The movie had concluded.
"What did you think?" Eric asked.
"The movie was okay it wasn't much as I expected, but it was still enjoyable." Chun Li replied. Eric tossed her a sweet bun to eat. "I know they were your favorite." Eric winked.
"Yes they were thank you." Chun Li replied.
The two of them walked together though the town quietly enjoying each other's company. "By the way, why did you disappear the other day so unexpectedly?" Chun Li asked with curiosity. "Um, something came up at the temple so I had to take off." Eric answered. "Come on Eric, stop joking around. I'm not a simple minded woman." She assured.
"I was after that woman that put your friend in the hospital for payback or any other S.I.N thugs, I have a feeling this whole thing was all planned out and Shadaloo was pulling the strings behind S.I.N." he explained.
"You're not the only one who believes that. Bison is still out there I know it which means Shadaloo is out there as we speak. I won't rest till I know they are gone for good." She replied.
"And you can count on my help then I'm not afraid to put myself in harm's way." Eric said. "And besides I like being with you… I mean working with you." He shuddered with his feelings. Chun Li giggled at him charmed by his nervousness. "You know for someone as eccentric and go lucky; you could be pretty charming at times." Chun Li chuckled.
The two stopped by Chun Li's apartment. "Good night Eric, I'll see you tomorrow, so don't be late." Chun Li said. Eric waved back at her happily. Oh and Eric, I haven't forgotten about your confession, when the time comes and Shadaloo is destroyed I'll answer back, but until then wait for me." she flattered Eric blushing.
The next morning Chun Li reported to Interpol for a new assignment. "Chun Li, we've received reports of underground syndicate activity related to Shadaloo, so I've arranged a new partner for you in this investigation." The boss said.
A new partner sir?" she replied confused and surprised.
A handsome man appeared in front of her. "It is an honor to meet you Mrs. Chun Li." He greeted her as he grasped her hand softly Chun Li stood speechless at the man going to be her partner.
