Story by Arak-8.
Intro:This story is set after the final episode of the 1990's american animated series
STREET FIGHTER,which was based on a combination of the much loved video game franchise from Capcom and the not so loved 1994 Street Fighter movie which starred Van Damme and the late great Raul Julia.
Now,before you start reading this fanfiction,it's recommended that you either watch the entire two seasons of Street Fighter cartoon or at least go through any convenient episode guide to better understand who's who and what's what on what was happening.
Disclaimer:Street Fighter belongs to Capcom,not me.
And now,on with the show!
PART 1.
New York City,7PM.
The location,a local battledome stadium on the edge of the city's outskirts itself.
A large colorful banner reads:"STREET FIGHTER TOURNAMENT FINALS TONIGHT!"
And within one of the lounge and recreation rooms of the dome building,a single battle-weary but ever-ready warrior sat on the couch and patiently awaited for his chance to come fight again.
That man was Colonel William Guile,ex-soldier turned street fighter and field leader of the crime fighting organization known as the street fighters.
He sat upon the couch and had his legs propped up on the coffee table in front of it.
While he waited,he sipped his warm cup of coffee,and was lost in deep thought over all that had happened before he and the street fighter team competed in tonight's tournament.
Guile was looking back at what had happened in the mess that started before the mess had a name...and it was Cammy.
He looked back at what was happening after Cammy in her own ungrateful way left Guile and the team even after he and Chun-Li saved her very life that same night.
Guile still recalls her same exact words before walking away from him that night in Central Park.
"The past is filled with pain."she said.
Guile snorted in annoyance.
"A philosopher she sure wasn't!"he thought whilst taking another sip of coffee.
"There's an old saying Cammy,those who condemn the past are forced to repeat it.
But...I guess after all the crap that went on thanks to Bison,she...might not have been so brave after all.
But geez...first she split on her old MI-5 team Delta Red years ago,now she splits out on us. Yeah,great track record on running out on people you trust Cammy,way to go!
I even still recall when we parted ways with that idiot boyfriend of hers,what's his name...Bert!"
FLASHBACK 1
Guile and Chun-Li accompanied Cammy back to the transport jet that they came in on,when suddenly Bert and Rory called out after them.
"Cammy,wait!" Bert shouted.
"Oh great."Guile mumbled. "I was hoping to avoid this.""Cool your jets colonel."said Chun-LI.
"Cammy agreed to come back with us not them."
"I'll...i'll talk to them to colonel."said Cammy. "Just...wait here."
Cammy turned to her ex-teammates with a look of disgust in her eyes.
"Cammy.."said Bert. "...i'm..i'm sorry for not believing your friends and not believing you."
"Yeah,c'mon luv."said Rory. "You know we had our orders from our man Roman Spears."
"Your orders?"Cammy snapped. "That's another reason why I left you lot to begin with!
At least Guile believed in me more than you did...or even Celia!"
"But,but Cammy I-"Bert began. "There's nothing more to say,except for...goodbye."said Cammy as she turned back to the jet and went inside.
"Cammy!"said Bert as he attempted to go after her,but Guile and Chun-Li stood in his way.
"Not another step,Bert!"said Guile. "That's right!"said Li. "Like it or not,she's coming back with us...so,BACK OFF!"
Bert sneered in anger.
"How dare you address me in that tone!"he snapped. Guile then responded with a sharp,fast and hard turn fist that sent the british commando flying into the air.
"Colonel Bert!"said Rory in horror.
The commando landed hard onto the cold ground and Rory rushed to his side.
Bert groaned and started to get back up. "Blimey!"he said. "Now that was a punch."
Rory growled and confronted Guile.
"You just assaulted an officer you did mate!"he said.
Guile and Li got into their fight stances. "And what are you gonna do about it,tin man?"said Guile. "There's plenty more where that came from!"
"And I can give you some as well!"said Li.
"Rory-STOP!"Bert called.
Rory turned to see Bert back on his feet again. "But...but sir!"said the cyborg. "He just went and-"
"I said stop!"said Bert. "And that's an order!" Rory growled again and took a step back,allowing Bert to stand humbly before Guile.
"Look,Guile."he said. "Perhaps I was out of line there,and...I suppose I earned that punch there. You..you were right all along about Bison controlling Cammy. Before we left the castle,Rory and myself saw a copy of the tape of what happened."
I...deeply apologize for the actions of myself and of Celia. I apologize for threatening you and the street fighters,you obviously knew a lot more about Bison than I ever did."
"And..?"sad Guile."
"And.."said Bert. "I promise i'll turn the evidence in to and all charges will be dropped against Cammy at once."
"While you're at it,Bert."said Li. "You could do something about your trigger happy bitch Celia.
FLASHBACK 2.
Sagat ran down a corridor inside the castle lair."HAHA!"he said. "At last,at last! That bastard Bison is dead! And soon,Shadaloo will be mine to control!"
Suddenly,just when the Muay Thai fighter turned a corner,he heard an all too familair battle cry.
"SONIC BOOM!" shouted Guile as he flung his famed double fireball at the villian.
Sagat was hit head on and crashed to the metallic floor.
"Good shot as always,Guile."said Li.
"Thanks."said Guile.
Guile stood over the fallen villain. "That was for that cave in you caused me back in shadaloo city,one eye!"he said.
Sagat crawled back to his feet and stood before his enemies. "Oh,is that your idea of grattitude,Guile?"he said.
"Even after I mailed you the evidence of your friend Cammy and the two of us took a stand against Bison like that?"
"I'll admit that you did help us get that far in stopping him."said Guile. "But that changes nothing between us,you're still as much as a villain as Bison ever was!"
"And if you think you're going to pick up where he left off,you're sadly mistaken,Sagat!"said Li.
"You only did this for yourself and your own cartel in ruling the world and still an enemy of the street fighters!"
Sagat growled in defiance. "But...since we all had an all too common enemy to fight,we'll let you go...for now that is."said Guile.
"Reluctantly we might add."said Li.
Sagat half grinned and nodded. "Very well. A truce..for now."
"Now get outta here before we change our minds!"said Guile.
Sagat than started to run past them and down the corridor.
But before he ran off he took one last taunt at them. "Oh,by the way."said Sagat. "Good luck in fixing your friend Cammy there. I have a feeling you're going to need it."
"Yeah?"said Guile. "Well,we'll tell your friend Ryu he says hi and you send your regards just the same."
Sagat sneered in disgust at the mere mention of that name and then took off.
"You sure it's wise to let him go?"said Li.
"Compared to Bison,he's not all that much of a threat to begin with."said Guile.
"We'll cross paths again,sooner or later,he'll be next to go down.
Now come on,let's get back with Cammy and split."
However,unbeknownst to Guile and Li something else happened with Sagat before he left.
Sagat managed to make it to the exit when suddenly,he heard a loud foot drop. "Now what?"said Sagat.
It was Zangief,the russian wrestler and Bison's brainless thug. "Zangeif!"said Sagat. "I might've known!"
"Sagat! said Zangief. "Where..where is master Bison? Where is he?"
"Your...master is now at least dead,you brain dead lug!"said Sagat. "And with him dead,Shadaloo will be mine to control at last!"
"No-NO!"said the russian.
"You lie...you like Guile,you try to confuse Zangief! Master Bison is alive,Zangief must find him!"
Sagat growled in rage and then charged up his most powerful Tiger Shot and flung at it the russian. "TIGER!"shouted Sagat.
The impact was so great that it sent the wrestler crashing through a nearby wall.
Sagat then stood over the fallen russian. Zangief managed to regain consciousness just in time to see the kickboxer standing menacingly over him.
"I should break every bone in your pathetic body for blindly following that madman around!"said Sagat. "We would've all been destroyed because of him and that damn stupid statue Kali told him to!"
"No,no...please...master Sagat!"stammered Zangief. "I was only following orders,I didn't know..."
"Ha!"said Sagat. "Like I would take you into my cartel to begin with! You may have strength russian,but you haven't the wits to work for me! So..I bid you and the rest of Bison's losers farewell forever!"
Sagat then went into the exit elevator and closed the doors shut,leaving Zangief to his fate.
"No,no don't leave Zangief,please NOOOOO!"said the russian.
While outside,Guile and Li could almost hear the wrestler's pitiful cries for help."You...you hear something?"said Li.
"Must be the wind."said Guile.
END FLASHBACK 2.
"I..probably shouldn't have lashed out at Bert like that."thought Guile. "But...he brought it on himself in the end. I can see more why Cammy left him in the first place.
Man,and I thought Sawada was a by the book bozo,at least I managed to make peace with him by now. But...if I ever run into that limey loudmouth or his trigger happy goons again..it'll be too soon!
Anyways,by the time I got back to the secret Street Fighter HQ,it started to go from bad to worse."
FLASHBACK 3.
Guile entered the main meeting room where Escher was waiting for him.
And he didn't look any more happy than Guile when he discovered that Cammy was no longer with him.
"Let me guess."said Escher. "She...refused to come back didn't she?"
Guile sighed. "Yeah,she did at that.
I swear that I offered her a second chance to start over,but she refused and now she's going on a so-called quest to find herself."
Escher snorted in disgust.
"Well,good luck with that."he said. "I suppose that her recent membership and experiences with the street fighters just doesn't count to her anymore."
"For once I agree with you,Escher."said Guile. "I'm...just sorry that she didn't come back to us,I tried."
"It's alright,Guile."said Escher. "You tried. Sometimes even the greatest fighter can't always overcome their own fears in the end.
But...who knows,maybe she'll come back to us eventually."
"I..wouldn't be too sure about that."said Guile. "But yeah I hope she does at that."
Minutes later,Guile and the remainder of the street fighter team were seated around a large circular metal table that had the letters SF in the center.
There was Guile,Chun-Li,Blanka,Ryu,Ken,Dee Jay and in the room.
"Welcome to one of our rare meetings,street fighters."said Escher. "I'm..sure you're aware of the recent events that were surrounding our former teammate Cammy White."
"Hmmm...yeah she left just like that didn't she?'said Blanka.
"Yes,i'm afraid so."said Escher.
"Oh,so little miss pig tailed traitor hit the trail did she?"said Ken. "Huh,without so much as an apology or goodbye!"
"KEN!"said Ryu. "Cool it okay? She just probably needs some time alone to clear her head right now."
"I'm with Ken on this one."said Honda. "And to think after all we went through to save her ass..and this how she repays us?"
"Yeah mon!"said Dee Jay. "And to think we actually knew her at all?"
"Well,I can't really blame her."said Li. "She did attack most of us,myself included."
"Huh,you hard ass chicks always gotta stick together don't ya?"said Ken.
"And what is that supposed to mean?"said Li.
"Ken!"said Ryu.
"Aw don't mind me,little miss...I got a crush on an imaginary blonde haired guy from another planet."said Ken. "That warrior King guy? Sheesh,gimme a break!"
"And she wonders why she's still single." said Honda.
"Yeah mon,you said it!"said Dee Jay. "Strongest woman in da world?
Try loneliest,HA!"
Li stood up in anger.
"My love life is no one's damn business but my own!"she said. "And you're all asking for an ass booting if you keep this up!"
"Ooo...watch me shakin'."said Ken.
Ryu responded to Ken by slapping the back of his head.
"HEY!"said Ken.
"E-NOUGH!"said Ryu.
"Stop this at once,all of you!"said Escher.
Blanka then stood up and roared,causing the entire room to shake wildly.
"He's right!" said Blanka after he finished roaring.
"Look at us,all bickering just because we lost one of our own!
Well all know that bastard Bison was to blame for that! But we're not going to let him get the last laugh on us by splitting us up!"
Guile stood to his feet.
"Blanka's right!"he said. "We still have the street fighter code to keep us together!
A code that Cammy herself may have forgotten,but that doesn't mean that we should do the same!
We need each other,and the world still needs the street fighters!"
"That's right!"said Ryu. "Bison may have finally bit the big one,but our work isn't done..not by a long shot!"
Everyone nodded and then all stood together in a group circle with their hands together in a group huddle.
"Discipline,justice,commitment."said Guile. "The street fighter code of honor!
And we'll build a new and better than ever street fighter team..with or without Cammy."
END FLASHBACK 3.
Guile smiled warmly that the team was going to their heads together once again."We all even apologized to each other over drinks."he thought. "But...we knew our work was just getting started."
