Chapter 1: To find the devil
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
...Months earlier
Mister Wu Ziquing looked across the well-furnished room from behind his ornately carved desk. Standing by the window, her features set with determination, was the daughter of his best friend. "You are a very lucky man, Li," he said to himself. "Not many fathers can boast of such offspring..."he continued, thinking about his own son, currently in jail for drug trafficking. Chun Li looked away from the window and towards him. "Did you say something?" she asked. Wu shook his head. "Oh no... don't mind me. I talk to myself a lot these days. Must be my age. I was just imagining how happy my late friend would be to see what a fine woman his daughter turned out to be." Chun Li did not return his smile. "He would have been around." She said, coldly, "If it weren't for a certain criminal who isn't long for this world." She looked back at the window. Wu shifted uncomfortably. For a while there was an icy silence. "Chun Li.." he said, at length. She didn't show any signs of acknowledgement. "Chun Li, my daughter. I worry about you. You shouldn't let yourself be carried away..." Chun Li's lips barely moved. "You needn't worry," she said. Wu lost control of himself and began to blurt. "Chun Li, I hate to see your life wasting away like this. I admire your courage, and drive, but the life you are leading is too dangerous. No matter what my superiors believe about your abilities, I cannot let you go out there alone and kill yourself. I would never forgive myself. Please, listen to me. Settle down and lead the life of a normal girl. We... Interpol ... shall defeat shadaloo in time." Chun Li slowly turned her head to look at him. "If I needed your advice, I would have asked for it. The only thing I need from you now is your endorsement of my solo assignment. If you choose not to endorse it, I shall carry it out anyway, whatever the cost, and then you will have a true reason to worry... about your job, that is."
Wu could not conceal his shock. He hadn't expected such a reply... even though he was, by now, used to Chun Li's independence. He opened his mouth to reply... shrugged his shoulders... then endorsed the document that most others would have treated as a death warrant. Wu Ziquing appended his signature to a document that would ensure that Chun Li was cut off from all official matters concerning Interpol... and all their allies, compulsorily for a period of six months. All official surveillance and monitoring were to stop, and Chun Li was expected to infiltrate shadaloo alone. For six months, No-one would see her, or acknowledge her as an international agent. She would be alone... but not afraid.
As Chun Li exited the building, her mind began to travel. Back in time, to a battle that occurred two years ago... one that she would never forget. "Bison..." she muttered under her breath. Her gaze narrowed, and her pace quickened. Every time she thought about him, memories fought each other within her mind. Memories of her dear father... of the shock, the dismay, the emptiness that followed, of the monster's demonic laughter as he gleefully described her father's death in horrendous detail... while she lay powerless to move, unable to make him stop...
She fought back the angry tears that had begun to form beneath her eyes, and clenched her teeth as she quickened her pace. She would... she could... make him pay... and she knew just who would help her.
A year ago, Chun Li would have preferred to work completely alone, but something had happened, which changed all that. She had been working with Interpol then, investigating into the activities of Shadaloo, the organization that she suspected was responsible for her father's death. Her brilliance and skill had quickly led her to the organization's heart, and in a surprising twist of fate, she had found herself face to face with the Lord himself as he attempted to flee a recently discovered stronghold. She had stopped him as he headed towards his private jet. Single-handedly making short work of his personal guard, she had stood before Bison and looked him in the eye. Her memories were still clear.
"Evil in the flesh, Lord Bison. So what do you know about my father? ""Don't ask questions if you're not prepared for the answers."With a flourish, Bison threw his cape off... towards her, blocking her view temporarily. She wasn't caught off guard, but strangely, she was slow to react, the cape covered her face, and as she struggled to free herself, she felt her feet being swept out from under her, the world spinning, and then the air rushing out of her lungs as Bison caught her.. On his foot.
"Whoof!" she gasped, as he performed a crescent axe kick, slamming her onto the ground. Silently berating herself for being so careless, Chun Li rolled aside quickly, Just avoiding a powerful stomp from Bison. As she got to her feet, The Lord came sliding towards her, intent on knocking her off her feet. She twirled aside... he slid past... and she quickly darted in and grabbed hold of his shoulders. Pivoting his body over her knee, she threw him off balance... only to see him recover in mid-air."Somersault skull driver..." Bison dived towards her, his fist smashing into her stomach. Chun Li was launched backwards to land on her knees, bent forwards, one hand on her stomach, gasping for air.Bison laughed demonically.
"Tired already? What a shame. Don't give up so easily... I was hoping to enjoy this fight." Chun Li looked up and bit her lip. He stared her right in the eye. "Come on," he coaxed. " Or are you willing to let this chance to nail me pass you by?" He sniggered. "Or maybe I should fight you on equal terms? I'll only use my left hand..."
"yyyyYYYAAAH!" Like a cornered tigress, Chun Li surged forward from the ground. "Hyah...hyah!"She snap-kicked Bison in the stomach, stunning him momentarily, then spun and kicked him again as he reeled from the force of the blow. Spinning again, she landed in front of him with one leg already in the air..."SENRETSUKYAKU!!!" several snapkicks were delivered like machine gun fire. Bison was launched away once more. As he flew backwards, he recovered just like before. "Somersault skull driver..."Chun Li screamed out loud,"Ha-zen!" then launched into the air herself with a flying spin kick, catching the Lord in the face. "TENSHOKYAKU!!" spinning upwards through the air like a tornado, Chun Li juggled Bison through the air upon nine seven deadly kicks.
Bison landed first- on his back. In a trice he was on his feet. Chun Li landed on her feet and faced him, fists clenched. She allowed herself a small smile. "Bison on his back so early?.. I expected better." Bison was grimacing at her. He made as if to reach for his discarded cape, then changed his mind. His evil smile returned. Chun Li couldn't help feeling she was being indulged. He nodded his head. "Hmmm... you ARE B. Li's daughter afterall. Very good, I suppose you have the same destiny as him... but now is not the time. " He smiled as if he were a father promising his daughter a treat. "Maybe next time I'll use both hands, eh?" He turned as if to go, but Chun Li neatly somersaulted right over him, landing in his front. "Not so fast.." she said. "You have a date with our interrogation officers."
Like lightning, M.Bison's fist shot out. But this time Chun Li was ready. She swatted his fist aside then slammed both her palms into his stomach. He staggered away then looked at her with pure, unsuppressed rage. "Insolent worm! Insignificant FOOL! I gave you a chance to live, but now you Indicate that you prefer to DIE, Fair enough, but first I shall give you what you desire so much, foolish girl!" He extended his arm and his cape flew right into it. Oh no... Chun Li thought. He does posses some sort of power... she began to summon her chi. "I hope I'm strong enough to match him..." she muttered to herself.
As Bison donned the cape, the sky began to darken. Chun Li could FEEL the evil. He extended his arms, and a powerful blast of air seemed to emanate from beneath him, propelling him into the air as though he were a human rocket. The air began to swirl round him. Soon the main sources of light were his glowing eyes and fists. Lightning began to split the sky. When the thunder came, it sounded like the earth was splitting... Chun Li bravely stood her ground nevertheless, concentrating hard to summon as much chi power as she could.
"LISTEN, FOOLISH GIRL!" roared Bison. "AND THEN DIE BY MY HAND... AS DID YOUR FATHER!!!"
Chun Li gasped in surprise. "Y..you killed.."
Bison suddenly floated back and away at an unbelievable speed. Chun Li instinctively knew that he was not retreating. "This is it..." she thought. She summoned her chi. In a blast of blue flame, Bison came hurtling towards her, a human missile. Closing her eyes, she let her whole willpower shoot out her hands. "Kikoken!!!" When a thousand fires seared her body and her ears filled with the thunder of the wicked, evil punishment dealt out to her small frame, she knew that her weakness had failed her... and her father. But the worst was yet to come... as she lay upon the ground, her spine snapped, paralyzed- and powerless to move.
