I wrote this section pretty quickly. I was rather spurred on from your
comments on the last chapter (especially Pyralis's).
Confrontation
There seemed to be a cold draft in the room, but there was no way for a wind to get into the room. The light shone behind the three people standing in the doorway, but other than that the room was pitch black. The door slammed behind them, surrounding them in complete darkness. But the room soon illuminated with a bright blue light. Bison was shaking in rage.
Bison appeared thinned than he was before, but there was an aura of power that surrounded him. "They're all defeated. The weak fools. Defeated by the likes of you. Balrog was slow to think, and Vega didn't even fight with his usual speed. Then Sagat, that monster is unbeatable, surely he will kill the other in that room also." Bison turned to face the three. A look of rage was on his face, but that soon disappeared into a course grin. "But they were weak anyways; you were fools for coming this far. Especially when we knew you were coming. Bison turned his head to Cammy, who stared shockingly at him. Bison didn't even notice Guile, who was showing more anger now than he did any time before.
Without warning he charged at Bison. Chun-Li and Cammy stayed back, not knowing what Guile would do. Guile planted his fist in Bison's jaw. Bison stumbled back but maintained his balance. He chuckled. "All that for one dead human. If I had known you would act this way, I would have killed more." Charlie dominated Guile's thoughts. Charlie endured such a disgraceful death.
"I'll kill you Bison. I'll kill you myself." Guile stated through clenched teeth. Chun-Li held Cammy back. Somehow, this had to be a one on one fight. Guile lunged at Bison, but Bison simply hopped back to avoid the punch. Guile's arms smashed together and a Sonic Boom wave shot at Bison, who simply sidestepped the shot. Guile ran toward Bison, but Bison leapt high into the air. Bison's feet slammed on Guile's head. He then flipped back and drove his palms into his chest. Bison then slammed his fist against Guile's face. Guile stumbled back and spread his feet apart. He began to grunt and shake, but he soon uttered the dreaded words.
"Psycho Crusher." Bison lunged at Guile, who did all he could to block the attack. Guile screamed as his arms dropped to his side. He couldn't move them; the attack had been too much. Bison began to slowly walk toward Guile, a sinister look on his face and a demonic gleam in his eyes. He stumbled forward when the shot hit him in the back. Chun-Li stood there with her hands together. Bison turned and raised his arm to launch an energy ball at her. Bison fell to the ground when Cammy's feet slammed into his back. Bison slid a little before he stopped. He slowly began to get up to his feet and raised his head to see Cammy standing in front of him. Her foot slammed across his face, sending him to the wall. He held her hand to stop Chun-Li and Guile from moving.
Bison began to recover but was met with Cammy's stern glare. She had some questions for him to answer. "Tell me about my past, Bison."
Bison held a shocked look on his face. "How could you forget about me, Cammy? Don't you remember, I...?"
Cammy interrupted him. "All I remember is that you set me up and tried to kill me. How could you do this too me?" She fingered the scar on her face. He caused that also.
Bison exclaimed in a fit of rage. "I had feelings for you! I did not try to kill you! You had an unfortunate accident and lost your memory! Don't you remember? We were in love!"
Cammy stepped back, dazed and confused. "No! This can't be possible. I couldn't fall in love with a man like you!"
The battle had stopped outside. All of Shadaloo's soldiers remained dead or captured. But Cammy didn't notice her team walk into the room. They stood behind her throughout the whole conversation.
Wolfman's voice broke Cammy's gaze. "Our mission has been completed. Let's go home." Technically the mission was over. They provided backup to the assault group on Bison's compound, and Bison wasn't going anywhere.
Cammy turned and seemed a bit surprised to see them. "Wait! What if what he says is true; I'm not the person I was!"
Luwanda's cynicism broke the depressive mood. "Don't believe that slime ball, Cammy!! No one could ever love a loser like him."
Cammy chuckled. "You're right! Now Bison can be scarred with the nightmare of defeat. Let's go home guys."
As they left the building, Guile, Bison, and Chun-Li all had dazed looks on their faces. Bison tried to get up, but this time it was Guile in front of him. Bison would not leave the compound alive.
Endgame
Cammy wanted to have nothing to do with any of the other street fighters, or of Shadaloo, after that day. She enjoyed her life in England with Delta Red. Sure, the training was tough, but she had a place where she could belong. It was a long helicopter ride home and George Giznu could not help but to look up things on his laptop. He searched for information about the separate members of Shadaloo. His voice broke the silence of the cabin. "Hey Cammy, what was the name of that guy you fought before Bison?"
Cammy turned to him. "How did you know about that?"
He responded quickly. "Hannah kept us informed on how you were doing. She said you fought a guy with a claw."
Cammy closed her eyes and repeated the name. "His name was Vega, Vega Fabio de Cerna."
He didn't type at all on the computer screen. He instead responded with an inquisitive attitude. "Well then, looks like we have the right guy."
Cammy looked and him inquisitively. "What are you talking about, Pidge?"
Giznu didn't like being called "Pidge". It made him feel inferior to the others, even though he could survive a full onslaught from McCoy. But this time he shrugged the comment off. This was far more interesting. "It appears that this guy is a Spanish noble and bullfighter. His parents were murdered and he was the prime suspect."
Cammy sat up. "He told me that his parents died of sickness." Cammy soon bit her lip.
This drew the attention of everyone in the cabin. Wolfman asked the question on everyone's mind. "When would he have told you this?"
Cammy proceeded hesitantly. "In Shadaloo I got to know him quite well. He told me it then." She didn't want to tell them the truth of the time after Shadaloo, and this lie appeared to appease them quite well.
Pidge finished off reading what he discovered. "Apparently he lied to you. His parents were killed, but the murderers were never found. He was suspected, even though he was only fifteen. But there was not enough evidence to convict him of anything."
Cammy didn't question his sources. She knew that he could get whatever information he wanted. Why he went on missions instead of backing up Hannah at the base was beyond her.
They arrived in England several hours after the conversation. Instead of following the others for debriefing, Cammy decided to get some well needed rest. Wolfman walked up to her door before he went with the others. He didn't know why he wanted to make sure she was fine, but he sensed that she wasn't telling them something. He opened the door, but saw that she was sleeping. He smiled.
Confessions
He stood in her room, staring at Cammy's sleeping body. His body ached from all the action, but other than that it was okay. There were many others who did not survive. He knew she wanted to have nothing to do with Shadaloo again, but in his mind, he knew that it was not over. Not by a long shot.
He listened to her gentle breathing. She sure has gone through hell. He thought to himself. The sound of her breath relaxed him.
He looked at her face in the moonlight. Her innocence was gone, although it wasn't when he first saw her. She was still beautiful though. Her hair was no longer in pigtails. She let it down to sleep, so he felt sort of privileged to see it when it wasn't.
She looked like she was at peace when she slept. He had seen her when she was angry. She hated everything when she was.
He felt the object in his hand. The long green stem was without a thorn. He leaned forward and touched his lips to hers. She stirred, but did not wake. He placed the rose and her chest and straightened up. This isn't over. Unfortunately, she will have more hell to go through. He thought to himself.
He walked to the window. The moon shone with undefiled brilliance. It was a full moon, lighting an otherwise dark sky. He took one more look at her just before he left the same way he came in. He whispered softly to her while she slept. "Farewell, my beautiful soldier."
