This part is shorter than the others, but if I combined the parts, it would be much too long. There isn't much action in this part, but the next one will be entirely action. Also, of Delta Red, only Wolfman and Lawanda are named, and even then, they only have a line or two spoken. EDIT: After looking around, I have found the names of the other 2 members. Matthew McCoy is the Cyborg (whom I called Maxus) and George Ginzu is the kid (whom I called Pidge). But they still have no stories.

Beautiful Stranger (Part 3)

It was a rainy morning in England, but it was the kind of light drizzle that made everything smell fresh without being too wet. Cammy's cloak covered her body but she let her head feel the rain, absorbing the sensation it brought. The walked through the puddles with light feet and an even lighter heart. For as long as she could remember, she was happy. She never told anyone about her stay with Vega, or of her Shadaloo days (mostly because she still couldn't remember), she was content with living in the moment on another slow day with her Delta Red comrades. A woman with long hair greeted her when she entered the building. "Hey, you just missed Colonel, he seems to be pissed at something."

Cammy wondered if she had seen Colonel Wolfman, the man who rescued her, actually mad at anything. "Did he say what it was about, Lawanda?"

Lawanda replied. "No, but he wanted to see you when you came in."

Cammy bit her lower lip as she walked to the door with Wolfman's name on it. She slowly opened the door, and the large man with orange hair greeted her. "Ahh, here you are Ms. White." He didn't actually know her last name; he called her "White" for some unknown reason.

"Umm, you wanted to see me?" Cammy asked apprehensively.

Wolfman stared down at his desk. "I have some bad news. They've escaped."

Cammy looked at him strangely. "Who escaped?"

Wolfman laughed. "I can understand why your programming made you forget everything that happened in Shadaloo. You probably want to lose all the memories anyways." Cammy now understood what he was talking about. "Sagat and Balrog have escaped from prison. We've been sent a copy of the security tape. You may want to see this."

He put the tape into a small television. The security camera captured, in black and white, the door of the prison blowing open in an explosion. A man levitated into the hallway, followed by a man wearing a mask. It then skipped to Bison releasing a black energy ball at the camera, ending its transmission. "Bison and Vega?" Cammy asked herself in amazement.

"Oh, so I assume you know them quite well? We know Bison is the leader of Shadaloo, but who is the man you call Vega?"

Cammy continued slowly, faking like she had to jog her memory. "He's a bullfighter, and a cage fighter, from Spain. He is very vain, which explains the mask, and he fights with a claw. He is fast and strong. I hate him."

Wolfman continued. "It gets better." He was met with Cammy's gaze. "We've been assigned to take out Shadaloo. We are now part of a world taskforce, each putting up it's best, to get rid of Bison and Shadaloo." He didn't give Cammy a chance to protest. "This may help you regain some of your memory that your programming erased, as well as allow you a chance to get even. We leave tomorrow, so you'll need to get your things ready. We are off for the rest of the day. We will rendezvous with an American named Guile and a Chinese named Chun-Li tomorrow." Cammy stared down at the floor, and a smile crept upon her face.



The Comrades

Delta Red is an elite task force in England. It is comprised of only the best soldiers the country can offer. Colonel Wolfman, the leader of Delta Red, is a crack shot with his rifle. He has a distinctive scar over his eye, although he refuses to talk about it. He acts as a father figure to his comrades, and is a nice person to begin with. His short orange hair and strong body proves the fact that he is also a handsome man. He has been working on "lesser" missions against Shadaloo until he got his big break, arresting Balrog and Sagat. When they escaped he and Delta Red got put back into the limelight. Very few have damaged Shadaloo like he did that night, the only comparison is the untold story which led to Bison gaining true psycho power at the temporary expense of his base. He has been assigned to lead his team in conjunction with Interpol against Shadaloo.

Lawanda is a strange character. She carries a huge sword on her back and can use it very proficiently. Her long blonde hair and gruff looks should separate her from Cammy, but the two have become best of friends since Cammy joined. Her leg strength is lesser only to Cammy's, but her arm strength strikes fear into the hearts of many men. She was among the first to be recruited to Delta Red, mainly for her reputation as the best female fighter in England. Her cockiness and confidence has led to many training fights with Cammy, and she strives to gain the acrobatics Cammy has. She holds a distinct hate for most men, although she considers her Delta Red friends to be different. Her father was a cruel man and an alcoholic. To escape being beaten and watching her mother suffer, she ran away. From there, Lawanda lived by fighting men in street fights. She stole the sword that now resides on her back. During one fight, she beat her opponent so severely that she was nearly arrested. Only when Wolfman suggested that she be the first member in Delta Red was she released. She has been working with them ever since.

Matthew McCoy is by far the largest member of Delta Red. He towers over Wolfman and has twice the muscle mass. He isn't the best shot, but he is perfect for intimidation. McCoy has always been a fighter. When is school, he would always pick on larger, stronger classmates. He was always smarter than his opponent and usually won those battles. He continued these habits through school and was always the first one to get in trouble. He wanted to be the greatest fighter in England, so he was the first person to begin bodybuilding. His muscles grew to an immense size but his body was much too slow to be of any use. He took a gamble and had cybernetics implanted into his body. After over a day in surgery and months in rehabilitation, McCoy was as he is now. The surgery increased his body size, but still made him deceptively quick. His aim improved with the addition of a robotic eye, although not enough for him to use any gun shy of a fully automatic. But with this newfound power, he was not able to control it well. A few weeks later he was in prison, and nearly killing a man in a fight. Wolfman made him the next criminal to join Delta Red a few weeks later.

George Ginzu was the most recent addition to Delta Red before Cammy showed up. He is a small boy of fourteen years, and unlike McCoy and Lawanda, he was never in danger of prison. Ginzu can barely hold a gun to fire, but is a computer wizard. He can crack the most complex codes with ease and eliminate any automated device that can be controlled with a computer. Because of this, Ginzu stays behind the scenes a lot, although he would love to get into the fight, regardless of his inability to fire weapons with any accuracy. Ginzu's story is probably the least interesting of the crews. He was an orphan whose parents were murdered. He didn't want to go with the police, so he ran away. He was almost free before he was picked up by an off-duty police officer in civilian clothing. His computer skills were noticed when, while waiting in the police station, he set off all the fire extinguishers in unison. He was assigned to Wolfman, who at this time wanted a trained officer to round off his squad. His spiky blonde hair makes him look like he's related to Lawanda, but is still very short in stature. He is usually quite mature for his age, but he sometimes fails to maintain his maturity at different occasions. He is happy being treated as an equal by Lawanda and McCoy and as a little brother to Wolfman.

Cammy was the final member to join Delta Red. Wolfman rescued her on a train to London. For some reason, two Shadaloo officers, Balrog and Sagat were attacking her. She has befriended everyone in Delta Red now, who recognize her fighting ability. Trained by Shadaloo, she has proven to be the best fighter on the squad. And no one gets in her way when she is upset.

The meeting

The base of operations was in America. They had to be taken by military plane because of McCoy's size. It was a long and uncomfortable plane ride across the Atlantic, and was occupied mostly with briefing and bios of Shadaloo soldiers, particularly Bison. Cammy paid attention when Wolfman began mentioning the operatives on the mission. Along with Chun-Li and Guile, there were a pair of fighters who had fought Sagat, one of Shadaloo's top soldiers, before he joined Shadaloo. There was also a sumo wrestler who boasted very fast hand speed. They were infiltrating with around forty foot soldiers by boat.

The plane landed smoothly on the runway. The group stepped out, expecting one of the operatives to greet them. Instead, two soldiers stood there. "We are here to escort you to the base." One of them said monotonously and still standing at attention. Wolfman stepped out and saluted the soldiers, who responded in the same manner. A large military van awaited them from the airport. They couldn't see out of the back and none of them could get into the front. "When here, you are to remain at base. We cannot afford outside interference or knowledge of what is about to take place." One of the soldiers said methodically to them. The light blinded them when they stepped out of the truck. They were in the middle of a large base of which they could not see the gate. The soldiers led them into a warehouse where briefing was taking place.

Oh no, not more of this. Cammy thought to herself. A woman was leading the briefing, but she paused and looked to the back at them.

"Nice of you to show up." She said sarcastically. Her voice then boomed out. "Briefing started an hour ago."

"I apologize, our plane was late." Wolfman offered.

Her tone remained unchanged. "Or maybe you wasted the time with pointless questions and dawdling." It wasn't a question to her, it was fact.

"Man, she's a bitch." Ginzu whispered to Maxus.

McCoy replied. "Nah, she's just a soldier."

The woman's voice boomed again. "When you are finished with your conversation we will continue this briefing."

They sat down and Chun-Li continued rambling. Maps of the target were among the slides shown on a large projector. Along with pictures of Balrog, Vega, Sagat, and Bison. The exhausting session lasted for one more hour after they arrived, and they left the place with dragging feet. "Don't worry about her." A soldier with long hair surprised them from behind. "She is actually quite nice if you don't piss her off."

Lawanda retorted. "Sounds like someone we know." Cammy shrunk back in embarrassment.

The man laughed. "My name is Guile. The woman was Chun-Li. We are heads of this operation."

Wolfman stepped up. "I am Colonel Wolfman, leader of Delta Red. These are Cammy, McCoy, Lawanda, and Ginzu." He pointed to them as he said their names. Guile looked at Ginzu, but didn't say anything. Wolfman sighed when he saw Chun-Li walking out of the warehouse.

"Guile, all preparation is ready. We are confirmed to leave in three days time."

Guile responded. "At ease Chun-Li."

Chun-Li stepped out of attention. She shook her said as if she wanted to apologize but didn't actually do it. "So, this is the group that is supposed to assist us?"

Guile responded. "Yes, they are also the ones that captured Balrog and Sagat."

Chun-Li retorted. "They didn't hold on to them very well did they?" A scowl spread across Wolfman's face. He would have responded if Chun-Li hadn't spoken. "Who is the kid? Isn't he a bit young to be a military boy?"

Wolfman patted Ginzu on the back. "This is Ginzu. He is better with computers than everyone on your base combined. We would appreciate it if you didn't insult our ranks, since we were asked to come."

"Yeah, quit being such a bitch." Cammy blurted out.

As soon as she said that she wished she could take it back. She bit her lip and crouched back. Guile sighed and Chun-Li advanced toward Cammy. "While your here you will have to learn one thing. That is to stay out of my way." Chun-Li trudged off, and Guile was left to speak for her.

"She's alright, once you get used to her."

Wolfman responded cynically. "Yeah, I bet."

Training

The punching bag swayed as Cammy continued to pound it. The warehouse was empty, but loaded with training equipment. Delta Red had arrived after the normal training session for the soldiers. But Cammy liked the solitude after the morning's events. She didn't notice a man walk in until he got on a punching bag beside her. He had short, brown hair and wore a white karate uniform. His red bandana swayed behind his as he moved. He didn't speak and Cammy didn't see a need to speak with him. He jumped back and put his hands together. Cammy had never seen the attack he did next. A slow-moving, blue ball protruded from his hands. The man yelled out "Hakuten".

"Never seen that before." Cammy smirked.

The man didn't answer. The warehouse would have gotten quiet again if a familiar voice didn't boom in it.

"Oh, there you are Ryu." Chun-Li bellowed. Chun-Li stopped when she saw Cammy. Cammy slammed her foot as hard as she could into the punching bag, sending the sand that filled it onto the floor. She was about to walk past Chun-Li when Chun-Li stopped her and walked to a fresh bag. Cammy couldn't see the kicks that slammed into the bag, but saw the sand falling onto the floor.

"Impressive" Cammy stated.

"There is a lot more where that came from." Chun-Li replied. Ryu stepped back.

The two circled each other, feeling each other out. Chun-Li was ready to throw a punch when Ryu interfered. "We have too great a task ahead of us to fight. Now is the time to be allies."

Chun-Li stared at Cammy, then stormed off out of the warehouse. "Thank you." Cammy said.

Ryu looked back at the bag. "I did not do it for you; I did it for us all."

The night

Two days passed like the previous. Along the way, Cammy met the others that would assist them. Edmund Honda was a sumo wrestler who loved to eat. He wanted to show that sumo was a real martial art. Ken Masters seemed to have just been brought along because of his competition with Ryu, although he did prove to be faster than Ryu was. Ryu and Ken fought with very similar styles, but each had tweaked their own moves to suit their own special abilities. On the final night before the departure, Cammy was restless. Ginzu had already shown his computer prowess and was fast asleep. The others were too tired from training. She got up and put her red cloak on. As she walked outside in the clear night, something in the distance caught her eye. She slowly advanced to see Chun-Li, who was staring at the moonlight, saying something to herself. Cammy advanced close enough listen to her. "I will not fail you father. I will avenge your death. Bison will not succeed; I will beat him with my own hands."

So, was her father killed by Bison? Cammy thought to herself. "Mind if I join you?" Cammy was hesitant to ask.

Chun-Li didn't even turn around. "I'm not going to stop you." Cammy didn't show that she heard Chun-Li talk about her past, but Chun-Li could see through it. "So, how much of it did you hear?"

Cammy decided that it was best to be honest. "Only the part about your father."

Chun-Li responded melancholically. "He was a great martial artist. He tried to fight Bison. But he's gone now."

Cammy suddenly remembered the horrifying dream, and what fate had done to her. "It looks like we have something in common." Chun-Li sighed, as if she knew what was coming next. "Both my parents were killed by Vega. I was forced into Shadaloo. Shadaloo has destroyed both of our lives."

"All the more reason we cannot fail tomorrow. We have to defeat Bison. We have to win."
