Street Fighter-Christmas Special: Vega's Redeemer
By: Kari_Kamiya
Chapter 2
It has been two moths since Charlie was in the hospital and Sagat attacking Koniesha. It's now November........
Koniesha woke up early Monday morning. It was another cold autumn day.
"*sigh* Another pointless school day...."she muttered
She got out of bed and got dressed. She walked down the steps to see Guile and Chun-Li in a pissed off expression.'Okay, parents not here, they must've went to work. Something's up they havent been this pissed since.....oh my God! No! Shandoloo couldn't have came back!'
Her eyes widened for a moment and then she just looked to the ground. She started walking to them. She felt a cringe of fear as she walked towards the kitchen. She knew how Guile was when he was upset. Chun-Li, however knew how to keep her cool. Koniesha just grabbed her knapsack and some poptarts and headed out the door. The wind was blowing harder than usual. Her skirt started to fly up and she used her hands to push it down. She really wanted to wear pants but the dress code was uniforms. She reached the school and looked inside. It was crowded as usual."'Neisha!"somone yelled
It was Sonia. She ras running in her happy tone. Her red hair flickered in her face but she didn't care. "I'm so glad you're okay!"she said"I really wanna hug you but....ya-know."
"Well, you're my baby cousin. But still, I don't want people to think we're a bunch of lesbians."
"That's true....."
"Oh my baby!"yells a guy
"Damn...."mutters Koniesha"Not now...."
A guy with red hair slung an arm over her shoulder."Ah heard about yah incident."
"Back of James and I'm not your baby!"
"Come on sugah! Give me a kiss."
"Hey! Leave her alone!"said a voice
Vega grabbed James by his collar and yanked him off her.
"Lemme go!"said James
Vega let him down and James ran off."Are you okay?"he asked
"Yeah but did you have to be so aggressive?"
"Sorry, I'm still trying to get used to it."
The school bell rang."Well time to first period, well....I'll see ya later then..."
"Yeah, bye."
As Vega walked off, Koniesha stood there in a glance.
"I saw that."said Sonia
"What?"
"You like him don't you?"
"No! Me hah! I'm a rebel! I have no time for guys!"
"Yeah right...."
Koniesha and Sonia went through the whole day without seeing Vega again until school ended. "Hey Vega!"Koniesha yelled
She ran up to him."So did you like the first day of school?"
"It was okay."
"Wanna get some soda?"
"Yeah, I guess."
"Don't be such a downer!"said Sonia
Meanwhile back at Koniesha's house.......
Charlie came inside. His parents were there to greet him. The phone rang and Mrs. Johnson answered it. "Hello?"
"Mom?"said the other end
"Yes its me."
"Listen, I'm out with some friends and we're going to get some sodas, I'll be home soon ok? Bye."
"Hey Kon-"
The phone clicked before she could say something."Who was on the phone?"asked Charlie
"Oh, just Koniesha, she said that she's out with some friends for a soda and she'll be a little late."
"That's my sis, always late for something."
Wherever Sonia, Koniesha, and Vega are......
The threesome stoped at a place called 'Club Moon'. The three sat at a table as a waitress came up."So 'Niesha, original soda?"she asked
"Yup."
"Who's the new guy?"
"This is Vega, he's a newbie in town."
"So what will you have?"
"A glass a water."he said
"Huh?"
"Oh! He'll have a Sprite."said Koniesha
"A what?"asked Vega
"He's new, from Venezuela."
"Accually, I'm from Spain."
"Venezuela, Spain what's the difference."
"Accually-"
"Just shut up."
"Kay, one Mr. Pibb, one Pepsi, and one Sprite."
As the waitress walked off Vega stared at Koniesha."Why did you just tell me to shut up?"he asked
"Um....sometimes you don't have to be an smartie."
"You know, you're kinda cute."
Koniesha blushed."Did you know- that Koniesha-----OW!"blurted out Sonia
Koniesha kicked her in the knee.
In the Shadoloo base.........
Bison walked the corridors with his bodyguard, Balrog. He stood in front of a chamber as one of his lab doctors stood in front of it."So how is our 'patient'?"asked Bison
"Well sir, he's yours. It took us 3 days but we managed to put him under your control."said the lab doctor
Ryu stepped out, his eyes blood red and his soul full of vengance.
At the door of Koniesha's house.........
Koniesha and Vega were standing on the porch of Koneisha's house. "So.....uh.....this is my house."said Koniesha, nervously
"Hey I was wondering would you like to go out tomorrow."
"Yeah but let's meet at the school aroud 7:00."
"I'm up for that."
The two of them stood and stared. Vega kissed her and walked off. Koniesha stared as he walked off, and walked into the door, blushing. Everybody was sitting at the table, eating pizza. She dropped all her school books."Charleeeee!"she yelled
She jumped on her brother and made him fall over."Still the same happy go lucky sister."he said
"Oh sorry."
She got off him and sat at the table."So what kind of pizza did you get?"
"Cheese."said Chun-Li
"Somebody pass the garlic salt."
Charlie got up off the floor and sat down."So are you staying for Christmas?"asked Koniesha
"I guess so."said Charlie
"Yay! An old fashioned Christmas together!"
"Chun-Li and Guile are also staying."
"That's good. Maybe Chun-Li and I can go Christmas shopping one day."
"In November?"
"I wanna beat the rush!"
"I was wondering why you were coming in blushing."
"Uh......no reason."
"Its a boy?"
"Yeah."
"Who?"
"None of your business."
"Is it James."
"HELL NO!!! I'M NOT THAT DESPRATE!!!"
"Maybe you can invite this guy to dinner!"said Mrs. Johnson"I would like to know who this boy is."
"Uh....(sweatdrop)maybe."
Koniesha pulled a crumpled flyer out of her pocket."By the way,"she started"There's a fundraiser play for the children's hospital and they need people 18 and over."
"And you're telling this to us for?"asked Guile
"I think you three could get parts in this play."
"What's the play?"asked Chun-Li
"A Christmas Carol."
"And what can I play."
"Belle, the girlfriend of Ebenezer Scrooge."
"And what could I play?"asked Charlie
"Ebenezer Scrooge."
Chun-Li had a small sweat bead in back of her head."I get stage fright."she said
"You?! Don't worry I used to be in a Christmas play."
"You sang in the choir and you fell off the stage!"said Charlie
"Did not! Somebody pushed me!"
"You forgot a line and fainted!"
"Which was?"
"You sang 'O Little Town of Bethlehem'."
"Didn't I sing in the chorus two years later?"
"Yeah and you sang some song the wrong way.
"Oh yeah! Jingle Bells: Jingle Bells, Batman Smells
Robin Laid An Egg
The Batmobile Lost It's Wheel
And The Joker Got Away!"
"Yeah and you sang almost all of the second verse and got yanked off the stage."
"I remember!
Batman's in the Kithchen
Robin's in the Hall
Joker's in the Bathroom,-"
"Koniesha! Don't say it!"
"I'm 16 now! I was 10 when I sang that song, I'm mature enough not to say it! So are you guys going to try out for the play?"
"I guess....."
"By the way mom is dad home?"
"He's in the den."answered Mrs. Johnson
"Don't tell him but I'm on a date."
"Why not? Your father has the right to know what you're doing after school."
"You remember Jeremy?"
"Yes."
"Dad talked to him and peeled and apple and said that was me and that's how he feels about me. I haven't heard from him since then."
The next day........
Koniesha woke up early that morning and looked outside. It was snowing and she smiled a bit. She turned on the radio while getting dressed:
"This is 104.9, Los Angles' #1 radio station for hip-hop and R&B. Today we're recieveing unusual heavy snowfall. All roads are blocked and all schools are closed."
"Yes! School's out! Yeah!"
"Also there is a blizzard warining in affect for Burnlap county people are advised to stay indoors. Now to the music here's Alicia Keyes with fallin'."
After tying her long, black hair into a ponytail she walked downstairs.'Maybe I should see Vega.'she thought'I'll just say I had a sick friend and I promised I'd see her.'
"Mornin' everybody!"she said hapily
"I guess you're happy school's out!"said Charlie
"Of course!"
"So do you plan to sleep in today."
"Nah. One of my new friends is sick and I promised her I'd see her today."
"But there's a blizzard warning out."
"I never break a promise to my friends and if there's a blizzard I'll stay there and if there's a snow in, I'll be fine I'll stay there as long as it takes."
"Ok....just make sure you stay there"
"It's an apartment, I'll be fine!"
She grabbed her coat and her snow boots and ran out the door. "Be careful...."he muttered
5 minutes later.......
Koniesha was outside as the wind kicked up. Her hands grew cold.'The blizzard must be starting.'she thought
She remembered where Vega lived and ran inside quickly. She lightly knocked on the door and Vega answered it.
He had pants on but he had an unbuttoned shirt."H-hey,"she stuttered"s-s-school's c-closed."
"Come on in, you must be cold."he said
She took off her long heavy coat and her snow boots. She sat on the couch and tried to warm up but her hands were cold and didn't work. Vega sat down next to her and started to warm her up. He held her close to his chest and Koniesha laid her head on Vega's chest. She sighed and felt warm inside. She extended her arms around him and embraced him in a hug. Vega was a little taken back by this action but just let her hug him. After 10 minutes, she fell asleep and he just laid her down on the couch. Vega grinned at her for a minute and walked into the kitchen to make some hot chocolate. The tea kettle whistled after a half an hour. Koniesha opened her eyes. She looked around for a minute. Vega came out of the kitchen with to coffee mugs."I fell asleep, didn't I?"asked Koniesha
"Yup."he said
"I'm so, so sorry, I'd never do that to a guy!"
"I guess you never hugged I guy before too."
"(sweatdrop)Yeah well you are kinda cute."
The two of them stared for a minute, started getting close, and kissed. Koniesha opened her eyes wide and let go. She was blushing, she'd never kissed a guy that she just met before."Sorry..."said Vega
Koniesha grabbed the remote off the table."Lets watch some T.V."she said
"There have been a number of power outages."said the news anchor"This blizzard is going to be the biggest in the history of california."
"Sounds like we might be snowed in."
She grabbed the telephone and listened for a ringing tone but it was nothing but static."Hmm....phone's out."she said
"I hope the electricity doesn't go out or we'll freeze."said Vega
"So, you want to go over something from school?"
Koniesha's star-shaped locket fell on the floor."What's that?"
Vega picked the locket off the floor and Koniesha snached it out of his hands."It's mine, something personal."said Koniesha
"A boyfriend?"asked Vega
"No. Something deeper."
"What do you mean?"
"*sigh* Vega, my parents were killed by Shandaloo. Charlie and I are the only ones left alive in my family."
"I-I had no idea. I'm sorry."
"It's okay-it's just-it's just....."
Tears fell down Koniesha's face and she started crying. Vega hugged her close. Koniesha looked up into his eyes and Vega whiped her tears away."Vega, I..."started Koniesha
He put a finger to her lip."Shhh.....just think of all the good times with your parents."he said
The two were about to kiss again until they heard a faint scratching. "What was that?"
"Hmm....probably some mice or something."
Koniesha got out of the embrace and opened the door. Nothing was out there. She stepped outside. She felt something wrap around her neck. She fell to the ground, ghasping for air. Vega came out, he was instantly hit by a shadow. He looked up and saw Koniesha being pulled away by two girls. "NO! KONEISHA!!" he yelled
It was too late, the three of them were gone.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________
Vega had explianed to her parents what happened. "I knew it!"yelled Guile, grabbing Vega by his collar "You're still working for Shandaloo aren't you?!"
Chun-Li put a hand on Guile's fist. "That's enough! He doesn't remember Shandaloo."she said
Guile dropped him. "If anything happens to that kid, I'll kick your ass and make sure you're arrested for kiddnaping!"he yelled
Charlie slammed his fist into a mirror. Blood came down his hand."My sister....the last of our family...."he muttered
He left out in the snow and dissapeared.
What did Charlie mean by the last of the family? Is he hiding a secret? Find out in Chapter 3.
