Street Fighter:
World of Danger
Chapter Twenty-One
Crimson Viper, Nash and Chun-Li were sitting in Crimson Viper's car waiting for visiting hours to begin at the orphan house so they could go in and see Kairi and check on her. Their plan was to get permission from Ms. Pears to take Kairi out for a couple hours, and they would use that time to help Kairi train and learn how to control her powers.
The car was felled with silence the entire time.
"So, training time with Kairi, huh?" Nash tried to start a conversation to break the silence between them.
"Maybe." Chun-Li sled down into the backseat and looked out the window.
Crimson Viper check the time on her phone. There was only a couple minutes left to go until visiting hours start. She wished that it would go by faster so she could get out of the car and away from Chun-Li before Chun-Li or she say something would set at lease one of them over the edge with the other person. She thanked her lucky stars Nash was in there with them to keep something from happening.
"I don't see why you have to park all the way over here." Chun-Li said to Crimson Viper.
"So no one would see us before the time." Crimson Viper explained. "I think Ms. Pears has a problem with people showing early for events."
"And this is what you would call safe? Hiding out somewhere so we could be in a heap of trouble?" Chun-Li said to Crimson Viper.
"Who asked you?" Crimson Viper responded.
"I did, now deal with it, smarty." Chun-Li responded with an attitude.
"We were fine with this process before you were sent to work with us by orders of Drew. So you should be the one dealing with it." Crimson Viper responded back.
"Is that so?" Chun-Li responded back.
"I'm here to protect Kairi from Bison as much as everyone else around here, and I don't see what your problem is." Crimson Viper was trying to keep Chun-Li from making her fed up before she got home to Lauren.
"How many times are you allowed to take Kairi out to spend time with her before she gets adopted?" Nash tried to change the subject before the conversation went further.
"There's no limit, it ends when they get adopted." Crimson Viper answered. "And I know because I asked her for my self." She said when she noticed that Chun-Li was just about to say something.
"You're seriously going to do that?" Chun-Li asked.
"Why not? She could meet Lauren and get to know her." Crimson Viper grabbed her cell phone. "And Kairi's usually sitting on the roof at this point if she could get away from Ms. Pears and find the time so Ms. Pears won't know she's missing." She looked at the roof top and saw someone sitting there. She assumed it was Kairi and decided to keep an eye on her and make sure nothing happened to her.
"I'm sure she and Lauren would be great friends." Chun-Li commented in a smart mouth tone of voice. "And I wonder if Lauren will even follow in your footsteps as soon as she notices that Sakura is following in yours. Sakura looks up to you and has her mind set on wanting to be just like you when she grows up."
Crimson Viper brushed it off and ignored her. She turned her focus back on Kairi and the time for visiting hours instead of dealing with Chun-Li and her crazy attitude she has for her. She thought about it and reminded herself that Lauren doesn't even spend any of her timing giving her trouble at all; that's what made parenting easy for her each day as Lauren got older.
"So the plan is to train her with her powers, and then tell her all about her parents in the process?" Chun-Li asked.
"That's the plan." Crimson Viper answered in a annoyed tone of voice.

Kairi was sitting on the roof with Mika sleeping on her lap. She had her songbook and pencil in her hand working on a new song she was writing to add to her collection of songs. She was listening to the music on her cell phone and kept track of the time as well so she could make it back inside for visiting hours. She was glad Daniel and Addie made a promise to warn her if Ms. Pears was looking for her so she could get back inside before Ms. Pears noticed she was even missing, and she didn't want them to get in trouble along with her.
Kairi checked the time and saw that it was only a couple minutes left until visiting hours started. She heard something coming from the other side of the roof, and it woke up Mika. Kairi placed Mika back inside on the bed so she wouldn't get hurt, and she went to see if she could find out where that sound was coming from. She didn't find anything or a sign that someone was spying on her so she went back to work on her song as soon as she knew it was safe, and that Mika was safe inside.
Then she heard the noise again. Kairi placed her song book and pencil back inside on her nightstand and went to see what was going on. She peaked around the other side of the roof and saw no one, but she still heard something that sounded like there was another person hiding around. She just couldn't put her finger on it.
"Who's there?" Kairi hoped that she would get an answer and prepared herself for battle just in case it was another one of Bison's henchmen going after her.
No one answered.
"Whoever it is, you better show yourself." Kairi was ready to take down someone if they were working for Bison.
She heard evil laughter, and she was able to tell she only had one person to tend to if it was someone who was working for Bison.
Kairi followed the sound of the voice to she could find out who it was that was on the roof spying on her. As she got closer she saw the shadow of the figure and saw that it was a big guy who looked like he was a boxer; he had dark skin, black hair that looked as if it was freshly cut, and dark brown eyes. He wore a blue and white outfit that consisted of shorts and a sleeveless top with sneakers and a pair of boxing gloves.
The guy was laughing his evil laugh as she got closer. "Well, if it isn't the famous Kairi Sibella Evens." The guys said to her.
"Who are you? And how do you even know my full name? No one else knows my full name except for my friends and my late parents." Kairi demanded answers from him.
"I heard that you took down Vega and Rose in one week." The man said to her. "I was sent her by Bison to capture since they weren't having any luck and said that you're a problem in the plans."
"I don't even know the guy." Kairi had her guard up ready for battle. "I should get inside with the rest of the orphans, but I can't go back in there knowing you're out here in the mist of planning something that could hurt them in the end." She didn't give too much information when it was none of his business. "Tell me who you are." She wanted to hear the guys name so she would know to look out for him in the future.
"That's none of your business, little girl." The man charged after Kairi.
Kairi formed a force field to protect herself, and the guy was stopped right before he could even attack her. She saw him coming for her again, and she used her powers and knocked him down. She noticed the fire forming around from her hands just like Crimson Viper's when she used her powers.
The guy went after her again, but Kairi jumped out of the way and was able to put a stop by knocking him down as she leaped in the air.
"Whatever you want from me, you might as well give up because it's not going to happen." Kairi warned the guy.
The guy tried to grab her again, but Kairi was too fast for him.
"Get away from me." Kairi used her powers again when the guy came after her for the third time. "I'm warning you."
The guy leaped up in the air and vanished. Kairi kept her guard up and kept an eye out for this guy. She looked around everywhere to see if she could find him and take him down.
Kairi felt someone grab her shoulder. She looked up and saw that it was the same guy who was after, so she tried to break free of his grip but she wasn't having any luck on that. No matter how hard she tried.
"You're coming with me, young lady." The guy said to her.
"Balrog!" A familiar female voice called out.
Balrog and Kairi looked to see Crimson Viper, Chun-Li and Nash standing before them. They were prepared to take Balrog down if he didn't obey orders from them. Kairi was still trying to break free from his grip on her.
"Let her go, or prepare to get hurt." Crimson Viper.
"Make me." Balrog responded.
Kairi decided to try another tactic. She used her power to knock out Balrog hoping it would work, and she was glad that it worked. Balrog let her go of her, and she used her powers to take him down.
Crimson Viper, Nash and Chun-Li were really impressed after seeing Kairi being able to use her powers without even an ounce of training.
Kairi landed on her feet and regained her balance.
Chun-Li was about to handcuff him, but Balrog took off and got away before she even had a chance. "Uh, what was he doing here?" She was upset that he got away free.
"Bison sent him to attack me." Kairi answered.
"Nash, get her inside." Crimson Viper said to him.
Kairi headed straight for the window on her side of the room and quickly climbed inside and closed the window behind her. Nash peaked inside and watched as Kairi made her way into the hallway along with some of the other orphans. He noticed that Mika was in her hands.
"Well, there she goes." Nash responded. "She already went inside through one of the windows."
"She went in through a window?" Chun-Li asked.
Crimson Viper nodded once.
"Why would she even go in through there?" Chun-Li asked.
"Ms. Pears doesn't know she's been coming out here all this time, and she doesn't want to risk her finding out." Nash explained.
"Is it that big of an issue that she has to do that?" Chun-Li asked.
"I'm afraid so." Nash responded.
Crimson Viper checked the time on her cell phone. "It's show time, we got to go." She grabbed Chun-Li's wrest and led her and Nash off the room where no one would see them while she put her phone back into her pocket.

Kairi managed to make it into the foyer with the rest of the orphans without being caught by Ms. Pears. She got in girls' line and stood right next to Daniel who stood in the boys' line right next to her.
"What happened? Ms. Pears was about to send for you after she did a head count." Daniel asked her in a whisper.
"You don't want to know." Kairi whispered back so Ms. Pears wouldn't hear their conversation. "I'll explain later." She held Mika close to her.
Daniel nodded and left it at that.
"I except total and complete silence while in the mist of doing this. If I hear a peep out of anyone, that person will be spending the night in the basement."
They went quiet when Ms. Pears made her way over to them. She looked down at both of them and wrote a check by their names on the piece of paper she had attached to a brown clipboard in her hand along with a black ink pen.
"I almost thought you were missing." Ms. Pears said to Kairi as she walked on to continue with her head count. She walked back to the front of the foyer after making sure she had everyone. "Before I get started with visiting hours, you know the rules. And I also want to introduce a new chief who will be joining the staff here. His name is El Fuerte, he is new and has experience in cooking."
Ms. Pears introduced him as he walked into the room pulling a cart containing all the refreshments for visiting hours along with Hazel and Renee. El Fuerte always wanted to be a chief, and he improved on his cooking a lot based on the good comments he often got from people.
"Also know that he's well aware of the rules as Hazel and Renee are, and the three of them are up on their game as I am on mine." Ms. Pears warned them.
El Fuerte walked pass Kairi and handed her a note. Kairi opened the note and saw that it was from Briana saying she saw her in battle on the roof with Balrog, but Ms. Pears doesn't know anything about it. Kairi quickly stuffed the note into her pocket to keep Ms. Pears from seeing it.
"If anything goes wrong or if any of the rules are broken, you will be sent to sleep in the basement. That's the punishment around here, and some of you seem to know your way down to the basement a little too well. And I will see to it that it is followed and stick to it for those who seem to repeats or common placements who keep cobwebs from down forming down there."
Everyone remained quiet.
Ms. Pears opened the doors to the building and allowed everyone inside, and they went straight for the child they brought in after signing the sheet to let her know that they were there and checking their ID cards.
"Kairi, get over here." Ms. Pears said to her as an order.
Kairi walked over to Crimson Viper, Nash and Chun-Li by the front door as they were talking to Ms. Pears.
"Kairi, they'll be taking you out during visiting hours, and they will have you back here by the time visiting hours are over." Ms. Pears explained to her. "They already got it cleared with me, so they're ready to go when you are."
The four of them walked out to Crimson Viper's car, got in and prepared for take off to wherever they were going. Crimson Viper and Nash sat in the front while Kairi and Chun-Li sat in the back. Crimson Viper started the engine and drove to their destination.
"So how have you been since the last time I saw you, Kairi?" Chun-Li asked her.
"I've been so-so." Kairi responded.
Chun-Li thought there might've been something going on other than what she was told at the police station. Then she looked down at the raccoon that was snuggling up into Kairi's arms, and Kairi held the raccoon close to her.
"Who's your little friend?" Chun-Li asked her with a smile.
"This is Mika, I found her on the roof with her paperwork saying she already had all of her shots she needed to become a pet." Kairi explained to her with a big smile. "Ms. Pears agreed to let me keep her after she saw everything and gave me the paperwork. She wanted me to hold onto it so that if I get adopted I could take it with me."
"Oh, that was nice of her." Chun-Li commented with a smile. Then she decided to change the subject. "Did does guys always come after you like that?" She asked Kairi.
Kairi nodded as her way of saying yes.
"Do you think you could tell us a little more about your parents?" Nash asked her. He wanted to know a little more about Kairi's parents as to see if there was anything that he could link to the prophecy before bringing it to Andrew's attention. He wanted to get a little more proof of Kairi's parents being linked to the prophecy before saying anything.
"They owned a shop that was located behind our house, and they would tell me all these stories about the world being in danger and someone would save the world before it was actually destroyed." Kairi began to explain the stories she heard from her parents. "It was called some kind of World of Danger stories or something. They've been telling it to me since I was only five." She explained to them.
Nash took note of that thinking he could use that for something.
"Nice use of your powers back there, Kairi." Crimson Viper commented on Kairi putting her powers to good use.
"Thanks." Kairi responded with a smile.
"So I guess you already know half of what you need to learn about your powers." Crimson Viper responded back.
Crimson Viper pulled into a sparking space hidden behind an old building so that no one would be able to see the car. The four of them got out of the car and went into the building from the back door. Kairi looked around and saw that the building was seriously empty. There was no sign of anyone in there.
"What are we doing here?" Kairi asked.
"Nash thought it would be a good idea for us to bring you here as part of training." Crimson Viper answered. "He found something here that he thinks might be linked to you and your parents in regards to the prophecy."
Kairi looked around and saw a bunch of pictures painted on the wall as the four of them continued walking in the building. Kairi was able to make a connection between the pictures as she looked at all of them.
"Does this make you think of something?" Nash asked.
"Yeah, they remind me of the stories my parents told me." Kairi answered as she pet Mika's head to calm her down. "This image represents Bison and his evil crew in the hideout working on a plan to save the world."
The image showed a guy wearing red with four people gathered around him at the table.
"This image represents Bison and his gang taking over the world as a group, and it seems like they're going after a little child." Kairi moved onto the next image of the town being destroyed by Bison and his crew, and she saw a little girl hiding somewhere behind one of the huge buildings so she wouldn't be spotted. She looked at the next image. "And image shows the girl being attack by Bison, but she stands up to him and stops him before he could destroy the town anymore."
"Do you know who that girl looks like?" Crimson Viper asked him.
Kairi looked closer at the little girl in the picture. And then it hit her. "She kind of looks like….me." She finally said.
They agreed with her.
There was noise coming from behind them. They turned and saw someone coming their way laughing their evil laugh which gave away the fact that it was a guy making his way over to them.
"Who's there?" Chun-Li demanded the guy to respond.
There was no answer, just more evil laughter.
"I have a better idea." Crimson Viper used her fire to form a light for them to see.
They were finally able to see that it was Bison.
"Something told me that I would find you here, Kairi." Bison said in his evil tone of voice.
"Bison!" Crimson Viper moved Kairi behind her as quickly as possible to protect her and was ready to take down Bison right then and there.
But Chun-Li jumped right in and attacked him. She and Bison got into a battle as a way for her to protect Kairi from Bison, and it seemed to be working. It was working on her part until Bison broke free and got away from her; he used his powers to get out of the building before she was able to get her hands on her.
"No!" Chun-Li was upset that she couldn't stop him.
"Something goes sound right, he shouldn't have been able to find us." Nash said. "This place is completely not seen by anyone."
"Yeah, that's what it said when you found this place on the map." Crimson Viper said in agreement with Nash.
"How could he have found here to begin with is what I want to know." Chun-Li's worries disappeared right then and there. She began to wonder how Bison was finding out where Kairi was.
Crimson Viper and Nash were wondering the exact same thing.
"Come on, we better get Kairi back to the orphan house. Visiting hours are almost over, and we want to make sure we get her back in time." Crimson Viper pointed out.
They rushed outside and got into Crimson Viper's car, took off and drove straight to the orphan house.
SF
Little did they know, they were being spied on by Bison and his evil gang through a crystal ball produced by Rose. They watched as the car made its way back to the orphan house.
"I got a pretty good glimpse of what we're going to be up against the night of the prophecy." Bison said to his crew. "This little girl is tough as nails to take down some of you and get away before you guys have a chance to catch her."
"We told you that's what happened." Balrog explained. "She's getting better with her powers and putting them to good use like we've said."
"She took down Vega, and now Balrog and Rose." Gen pointed out. "I can't even imagine what she would do when she has to deal with me."
"She'll take you down in a hot second as soon as you approach her." Balrog made a comment about that. "You probably won't stand a chance against her."
"That's when we're going to need an extra hand." Bison said.
Everyone turned around to hear what he had to say.
"Vega, see if you could track down this person." Bison handed Vega a red folder.
Vega took the folder and agreed to set out to find the person Bison wanted him to find.
