Author's Note: Yeah, I know; Too many of these notes. Anyhow, I finally released this second and final part to the alternate ending, and decided to change the name from "Die With Glory" to "Death or Glory" because it makes more sense, and it just sounds better. However, I am currently rewriting and combining this fanfic with the others I wrote to make one big fanfic, and soon, hopefully, I will make a comic based on it. Uh, I think that's it…..Well enjoy the second and last part of the alternate ending, and HAPPY NEW YEAR!

The next day, Fei Long awakens in his bed, very wearily. He opens his eyes slowly, as he fades into consciousness. The room was adapted to a very dark blue color from the early morning's darkness. Fei Long turns to face his window and notices the sky being slightly gray. He believes it has rained overnight. He turns back and dazes at the ceiling for a few moments while hesitating on about what he must do next. He also thought about how it will affect his fans, and more importantly, the people he is close to. Fei Long was very hesitant; he has the choice of giving up his career and return to underground fighting to sharpen his skills, or stay at home, return to his filming career, and stay close with his friends.

Fei Long continues to contemplate to himself.

What should I do? I think I will fight on the streets again. It was the only thing that has given me fame and basically everything I wanted in life. It then led to me being a hero. Fighting seems to be my only true talent, but I still don't know if fighting on the streets again is a good idea….

He was fearful of the outcome on both ends. If he stays, he might feel that his potential will be limited, since his stunt crew is no match for him. Perhaps Fei Long is unhappy with his career; he is beginning to feel as if it is routine and repetitive; Fei Long feels he is outgrowing it, somehow, despite the large fan base he has. Although, if he fights on the streets, he is much less likely to encounter any of his friends, and he really doesn't know what may happen out there since he is now considered a hero. Plus, he doesn't want to get into any fuss with the authorities.

Before he was absolutely sure of either option, Fei Long's thoughts then shifted to Chun Li. Immediately, his final decision snapped into his mind.

No….I am going to stay here. I may not return to my movie career, but I'm not going anywhere. I need to stick with the people I care about. They might be all I really have, especially in the long run. Most importantly, I need to see Chun Li again. I must tell her how I feel about her….straightforward. I may have saved her life, but that is just not enough; I must be here for her.

Suddenly, the telephone rings. Fei Long sat on the left side of his bed and faces the ringing telephone, hesitating to answer it. After a series of rings, he finally decides to answer the phone. He slowly reaches over and grasps the black cordless phone lightly and allows it to ring once before lifting it. He then presses the answer button with his thumb and raises it to his ear.

Fei long replies, timidly.

"…..Hello?"

After his reply, Fei Long heard what he thought was the sweetest voice in the world for the first time in over two months.

"Hello, Fei Long…It's me, Chun Li…."

Immediately, as he heard Chun Li, Fei Long felt a strong shock near his solar plexus, as well as feeling a strong chill moving down his spine simultaneously.

He replies even more timidly. "….Chun Li? Uh….Hi, Chun Li…."

Chun Li lets out a sigh of relief. "Oh my God….It's so good to hear your voice again….I—I was so worried about you—…."

It was silent for a few moments. All Fei Long heard was Chun Li occasionally breathing on the other end. Having a burning sensation in his eyes, Fei Long closes them and stays silent. He then rubs his forehead and thrusts his hair back with his left hand. He was grateful to hear Chun Li's voice, as well.

"It's….It's good to hear you again, too….Chun Li," replies Fei Long, after the long silence.

Chun Li sighs once more and continues. "Just wanted to let you know I'll be there later today to visit you. Gen told me about your recovery. I can't believe it…."

"Yeah, me neither," says Fei Long, still feeling a bit timid. "I was a bit lost when I first woke up, but I'm okay, now."

Chun Li lets out another sigh of relief and replies. "That's good, Fei Long.…I….I thought you were going to lose your memory….or worse—"

"No," says Fei Long, as he finally loosens up. "Please….never think of the negative, Chun Li. Both of us are very lucky to be alive, and because of that….I must see you again, no matter what. After what has taken place over two months ago, I really, really need to see you again, Chun Li," he says with all his heart.

Chun Li hesitated for a moment. She was completely shocked over what Fei Long just said. Chun Li truly felt something from his words, and now, she has an even stronger realization of how Fei Long really feels about her, especially after he risked his life for hers.

"….Yes," says Chun Li. She replies with all her heart, as well. "I really need to see you, too, Fei Long…."

Once again, it was silent for a few moments, and then, Chun Li decides to sum up the conversation. "You know what? I'm going to stop by—right now. I'm on my way there right now, Fei Long….I'll see you then."

Fei Long replies, basically reflecting what Chun Li said. "Uh, okay. I guess I'll see ya…."

Fei Long kept the phone to his ear, waiting for Chun Li to hang up. Just before Chun Li decides to hang up, Fei Long's recent statement made her recall something.

"Oh, and Fei Long?"

"….Yes, Chun Li?"

"….Gen also said you had something really important you wanted to tell me…."

Chun Li then hangs up.

Fei Long's heart sank intensely. He knew what Chun Li meant, and he also knew there was no more holding back from this point on. However, the thought of Chun Li continues to make him feel farouche. For most of his life, he has developed feelings for her, but at the same time, he's been holding them back and straying away for nearly as long; However, today, Fei Long knows it's just a matter of time until he has to admit how he feels about Chun Li.

A little later that day, Chun Li was finally off duty from INTERPOL. She was driving straight from work, making her way to Fei Long's home. Once there, she pulls up in front of his house, and parks the car. She exits the car slowly, and strolls toward the front door, having a pleasant feeling, growing inside herself as she approaches closer. Chun Li stands in front of the door and takes a deep breath before she rings the doorbell. Chun Li waits patiently for Fei Long to open the door. About a half-minute later, she rings the doorbell again, believing he was probably showering or doing something that was slowing him down. She leans on a nearby wall, and continues to wait, patiently.

Five minutes have passed, and Chun Li began to worry about Fei Long a little bit. This time, out of curiosity, she slowly reaches for the doorknob and grasps it with her right hand. She stands only a few inches from the door, and rests her forehead on it. Chun Li then attempts to open the door, and surprisingly, it was unlocked. She pushes the door open gently and enters….

She searches around the house for Fei Long, unhurriedly, while repeatedly calling his name. "Fei Long? FEI LONG?"

I wonder where he can be, Chun Li thought to herself. She looks in his room, and he wasn't in there. Then, she searches the other rooms for him; still, Fei Long has yet to be seen. Finally, Chun Li stops searching and returns to the living room, now very worried about Fei Long.

"….Where are you, Fei Long?" whispers Chun Li, aloud and unintentionally.

Suddenly, she began to hear the sound of very rapid knocking outside. Chun Li then follows the sound and ends up discovering the back door, which she did not notice earlier while she was searching for Fei Long. Chun Li approaches the back door, and looks out the window.

Ah. There you are, Chun Li thought pleasantly, as she witnesses Fei Long practicing on a wooden Wing Tsun dummy; his back was almost completely turned, so Chun Li couldn't really see his face. Chun Li decides to observe him for a few moments before approaching him.

It's a relief to see that you have made a full recovery, she thought. This is it. I hope Gen is right….I hope what he told me will be worth it. I have a feeling that it will be….

Chun Li finally opens the door and exits.

She walks out, letting the door close behind her. Chun Li then calls his name. "Fei Long!"

Fei Long eyes widen, as he recognizes her voice. He halts his training and freezes for a moment after hearing Chun Li's calling. The sound of her voice made his heart sink greatly, despite his back still being turned.

Fei Long then turns around slowly. The moment he sees Chun Li, his eyes widen a little more, as he was stunned to see her.

Fei Long observes Chun Li; She still had her hair in ox horns, but with gold-colored ribbons. She was sporting a dark blue suit jacket, which forms with her waistline very well, along with a light blue button-up shirt, and a yellow tie. Chun Li was also wearing a matching, dark blue skirt, which was cut to the mid sections of her thighs. She had on her usual brown pantyhose, but with a pair of dark brown boots, which were cut somewhat below her knees.

Chun Li also observes Fei Long, who was actually wearing casual clothing. Fei Long sports an unzipped, yellow windbreaker and a solid-black t-shirt, which were relatively revealing Fei Long's muscular build. He also sports a pair of light blue, semi-skinny jeans, as well as a pair of black and white sneakers.

After observing him, Chun Li smiles in a bittersweet manner and approaches Fei Long.

Fei Long then slowly makes his way to approach Chun Li, as well; his facial expression barely changed. He could feel his heart and neck pulses throbbing faster and heavier, as he was moving closer to her.

Both stood face to face with each other in the middle of the yard. Fei Long's expression has yet to change.

Chun Li hangs her head low for a few moments, and then faces Fei Long. She breaks the silence by speaking just barely over a whisper.

"Fei Long….No one knows how thankful I am to see you right now….After trying my best to push you away, even by insulting you….you refused to let me fight Shadaloo by myself. I was a fool to try to do that alone, and all that time….that was what you were trying to tell me. And from that, I can really tell how you feel about me, especially my father….He wouldn't have wanted me to do something so stupid, so suicidal; he wanted the best for me….and you, Fei Long. You could've left me to die, but you didn't. And…."

Chun Li was struggling to hold her composure. "Fei Long….I….I can't thank you enough for saving my life—…."

Chun Li then collapses on Fei Long, who lightly caught her in his arms. Simultaneously, she buries her face just below his collarbone. Fei Long was deeply staggered; Initially, he didn't know how to react when he began to feel Chun Li shuddering, as she remained in his light clutch to keep her from falling. He then began to witness and feel the pain of Chun Li when she started sniffling very heavily, which was causing her to jerk infrequently. Fei Long then decided to lift and embrace Chun Li firmly. Chun Li couldn't help but stand on her own, and do the same; she finally lifts her head and rests it upon Fei Long's right shoulder. Both of them embrace each other the same way they did on the night Fei Long freed Chun Li.

Chun Li shakily whispers in Fei Long's ear. "Don't let go of me, Fei Long…."

Fei Long's timidity began to fade as he continued to hold Chun Li in his arms; yet, his feelings for her began to intensify. He finally decided to not fight his emotions, but allow them to work within him. Tears began to roll down his eyes, as he continues to sense Chun Li's feelings. Turning each other loose was the last thing on their minds, as they continued to embrace each other in silence for a very long time.

After a few minutes, Fei Long finally reveals his feelings for Chun Li.

"Chun Li….I couldn't leave you to get killed—that's impossible for me to do. I saved your life because ever since I first met you, I really did care very much about you, Chun Li, more than you ever knew. Your father was to good to me, and I couldn't help but fight by your side and look after you. Despite your vengeful ways, under NO circumstances, I couldn't let such a kind and beautiful woman die at the hands of Bison because I knew that woman was still in you, Chun Li."

Chun Li was completely shocked. She has never heard Fei Long say anything like that before. She now knew how he felt about her, and after hearing those words, Chun Li was yearning to respond to them in only one way….

Chun Li slightly pushes away from Fei Long to look into his eyes.

"Fei Long," she says, very softly. Chun Li lifts her left hand and gently holds the right side of Fei Long's face. Fei Long began to sense what Chun Li was about to do. He began to close his eyes very slowly.

Chun Li then holds the left side of Fei Long's face and leans closer.

"I….I must do this," she says, closing her eyes very slowly, as well.

She leans in even further….

"I must…."
