Disclaimer: CAPCOM owns all Street Fighter characters.
A/N: Welcome to my second fic. I have always been a huge fan of Street Fighter both games, series and some animated movies were just mind-blowing, oh yeah and I'm not talking about the Van Damme movie, which by the way I think sucked big time! I very much liked the Street Fighter II V anime series and the depiction of characters and plot, not only does it open another door compared to the beat'em up arcade games, but also makes each character kind of unique. My all time favorite characters are definitely Chun-Li & Vega. And after seeing the funny yet interesting development in the SF II V series of these two characters, (Vega fell in love with Chun-Li)The contradicting personalities of these two characters were so huge, but in a sense it made perfect logical sense that these differences would entangle so perfectly together. And after seeing SF II – The Animated Movie and the famous fight scene between Chun-Li and Vega it just clicked for me! I hope you will see what I mean in both character story and plot development, I want to take you fans on a fun and action packed SF journey. ENJOY - and review of course.
StreeT FighterR II – Deep Core Crisis (Street Fighter II Fan fiction)
Prologue Episode 0 – Finally Healed – (The results of a brutal battle!)
The events in this story take place 2 months after Street Fighter II – The Animated Movie and 8 years after Street Fighter II V. Shadowlaw an international crime syndicate has been revealed and defeated by Interpol together with tight cooperation with the United States Military Forces to successfully destroy Shadowlaw's main headquarters located in Thailand. Bison who was the leader was successfully defeated by two powerful street fighters; it seemed that the world was a much safer place than before. Chun-Li who works for Interpol as a detective did not witness the destruction of Shadowlaw, but had teamed up with Sergeant Guile to defeat Bison. After being almost mortally wounded by the psychopathic Vega in her own apartment in New York, she remained in the hospital until her wounds had finally healed completely, she is about to be discharged from the New York Central Hospital.
-- New York Central Hospital --
Chun-Li laid on her hospital bed looking out the window to her right. The blinds on the window were not extended fully, reflecting the light into small portions on Chun-Li's face. Beside her bed bouquets full of flowers and good blessings were to be found. Chun-Li reached out for a small picture she had received from Ryu and Ken who were traveling together in India to face new challenges and adventures. She slowly dislocated the frame and took the picture out reading the message behind it:
"Hey Chun! We hope you are getting better, you are none the less the strongest woman in the world! We hope to see you soon. Best regards, Ken Masters & Ryu."
Chun-Li smiled for a moment while reading the message, and sighed calmly:
"I wish I could get out of this place… as sooner the better."
Meanwhile down the hospital halls a doctor and his assistant walked down to the main corridor where Chun-Li's room was located. "Alright what do we have here?" The doctor took his briefcase and opened it before entering her room. Ms. Li, 24 years old, carnal slice wounds on chest, right cheek, both thighs, back, right arm, left side of upper region, broken wrists and a broken leg, 4 broken ribs, plus a small case of cerebral haemorrhage." The doctor looked at his assistant with a surprised expression.
"I know she was lucky that she was brought here in time, or else she would have certainly been dead by now. Also please notice Dr. Cilovic, she had lost half a gallon of blood during her transport to our facilities." The assistant opened the door to Chun-Li's room for the doctor to come in. "Half a gallon? What was she attacked by, a pack of wolves?" The doctor said sarcastically. "We have no clue of what could have attacked her, the slash marks were too long in size compared to any animal we know of. It looked more like knife marks, but she has willingly refused to talk about it, so I wish you better luck."
"Alright thank you. Wait for me outside while I examine her current condition, I might give permission for her departure early this afternoon." The Doctor entered the room and looked around; he noticed the gifts lying beside the bed and came forward to the bed which was centered and lid up by a thick streaked beam of sunlight. As the doctor came closer his figure was revealed to Chun-Li who turned her gaze to the doctor and slightly parted her lips.
"Good morning Ms. Li." The doctor greeted with a warm smile.
"Good morning Doctor, it is good to see you again…" Chun-Li took a closer look at the doctor and her eyes widened a bit.
"I'm sorry, I haven't met you yet?" Chun-Li said with a hoarse voice and smiled beautifully.
"That is correct your old doctor has been assigned elsewhere so you have been assigned to me as a patient. You sound a bit hoarse, do you want me to call a nurse and bring you some green herbal tea? You know you only need to ask, and we are here to help Ms. Li." The doctor reached for a cup of green tea lying on a trail on a nightstand just beside the bed, and gave it to Chun-Li, who took a sip from the cup, and exhaled calmly.
"The tea is just right. Thank you." She looked at the doctor and seemed calm.
"Well, good I see you are bathing in the sun, which by the way is splendid, because it helps your skin to regain strength and adds natural vitamin D." The doctor reasoned. "Please get to the point doctor." Chun-Li said casually and looked away. "Let us see, your cerebral haemorrhage is long gone, all the wounds on your body seem to have healed perfectly, no scars after all that, it is remarkable. Now we only have to take that bandage off around your head, and you might as well be good to go." The doctor placed his briefcase on her bed, and moved foreward, untying the bandage around her head.
"I have waited for this the last month, so I'm excited to be able to walk again." She said with a tender voice. The doctor removed the last bandage and took a step back observing her face. He took a closer look at her left cheek, sat on a chair beside the bed, crossed his legs and started to write his report. "Yes you are free to walk, go take a look in the mirror." The doctor said and continued writing. Chun-Li lifted her legs and put them on the ground and felt the cold floor chilling her feet, she was dressed in a white hospital gown that went down to her knees, and seemingly bounced off her body. As she stood up balancing her weight on her feet, she walked slowly to the mirror on the other end of the room.
"Amazing isn't it?" The doctor asked while buried in his report.
"I… I can't believe it…" She said with a trembling voice. With moisture eyes, but she didn't cry. "It feels so good to be able to walk again, and I can't see any scars on my face… Is this a miracle?" She turned to face the doctor.
"Hardly… I would say good genes, and superb immune system, tell me do you know why your blood samples show twice as many white blood cells than in a normal person?" The doctor put his pen on hold and waited patiently for an answer.
"I… don't know…" She said insecure and lifted one hand to her mouth in a sign of nervousness. "Beats me it certainly is nothing bad, you just seem super human to our current medical physic standards." The doctor continued with his report. "I'm flattered." She smiled and sat on the egde of the bed facing the doctor with her back, and stretched her legs for a moment. "Your medical bills have all been paid by Interpol, so there are no problems there…" "Does that mean I'm free to go?" She interrupted. "Yes but I would like to know what caused these injuries of yours?" The doctor looked curiously.
"Is it really important?" She replied casually, while looking down at her lap.
"Of course it is! And will aid my report greatly, and determine the cause of your treatment. Do you remember what happened that night two months ago?" The doctor used a soothing voice. Chun-Li's thoughts drifted to the past.
'My hobby is to slowly peel the skin of the rabbits I catch, especially cute little bunnies like you…' She remembered those words perfectly.
"Ms. Li is something wrong?" The doctor asked.
"Oh… I beg you a pardon what did you say?" Chun-Li looked confused.
"Did you remember anything, anything at all from that night you were injured?"
"My memories are blurred, but if I ever stumble across something I will tell you." She turned to face him, and then turned her gaze towards the window looking out at a world she had not been a part of for some time now.
"I can't see any more problems then. You are free to go early this afternoon; some clothes should be in this dresser, also feel free to use the bathroom without nurse assistance, just right next to your room as you already know. Well that was that, I wish you the best in the future Ms. Li, now if you will excuse me I have to sign your final papers." The doctor was about to leave her to herself.
"Doctor…" He heard her say and stopped for a moment to hear her out.
"I know many would still detain me here, because of my lack of cooperation, but I'm beat and I want to thank you for your understanding." The doctor nodded in response. "I don't see any reason to hold you here anymore, you are perfectly healthy as far as I am concerned. What your old doctor said is now completely invalid I do not need anything more than to know that you are healthy to let you go home." The doctor closed the door behind him and walked down to the reception. Meanwhile Chun-Li decided to take a shower, the smell of the medicine and the hospital that she was in did not appeal to her, and she needed to feel cleaner. She entered the bathroom, locked the door and began to unbraid her hair and stepped in the warm shower, she moaned briefly, and relaxed to the pleasant warm water, she ran her sweet fingers through her hair and closed her eyes, it was a long time ago that she felt this good. Down near the reception Dr. Cilovic received a call in his office.
"Good job doctor, your payment has been transferred to your off shore account, it was a pleasure doing business with you." A deep voice claimed.
"The pleasure is mine." The doctor said and hung up, while leaning back on his comfortable chair and smiled in satisfaction.
