AUTHOR: I don't SNK or CAPCOM, yadda yadda yadda. Sorry about the wait, everybody. I'm sure you've all had it up to here by now. But I was combating a rather nasty case of writer's block, combined with college and work. But I'm back now. On with the fic! I warn you, though. It might get ugly.

ZARATHUSTRAA: No more structure here. Just let the good times roll.

DAN: Why does she do that? (Dan is commenting on Sakura, who is in the middle of administering another monster size hug to Ryu. Ryu seems to be more accepting of it this time). Man, she never hugs ME that way.

RYU: With all due respect, You're not.well.

DAN: Not what?

RYU: um.not me.

(Everybody begins talking at once)

CHUN LI: (singsong) Ryu's got an ego, Ryu's got an ego.

RYU: I do NOT! How dare you even.

CAMMY: And there goes your anger again! Jesus, and I thought the Setsui No Hadou was bad.

(Ryu is perplexed by Cammy's behavior)

RYU: Did I wrong in some other lifetime, Cammy? You've had this intolerable hatred for me ever since we arrived . what's the matter?

CAMMY: (long pause) You're most likely to eat shit and DIE (gets up and storms out)

TERRY: What the Hell was that all about? Man, I am so glad that I belong to SNK. I mean, you people abuse each other in and out of the ring!

KEN: If your referring to all those incidences concerning Bison, you should also understand that the rest of us were barely involved. It's Ryu who.who.

(Ken stops. He also just looks like he's just had an appiffany)

KEN: Ryu, a word with you. Alone.

(Ryu Cocks his head and shrugs, and follows Ken to the other room).

DAN: Hey, whatever needs to be said can be said all in front of us, Right Z?

ZARATHUSTRAA: You want to try to circumvent the goings on between those two, be my guest. Where did Bison go, anyway?

CHARLIE: You know Bison, He's just like Disneyland.

ZARATHUSTRAA: Beg pardon?

GUILE: What Charlie means is that one of Bison's most prized aspects is the ability to make himself or other people disappear without a trace. Disneyland is also known for that.

CHARLIE: I'm tellin' you man, one swear word in that place and you'll disappear so fast.

MAI: Hey everybody, I've been digging through the fan letters. Other people have been sending in their own stuff to us. I guess the secret's out.

ZARATHUSTRAA: This was never meant to be a secret. What do they say?

ANDY: Hey Terry, this one's from Blue Mary. She's your girlfriend now, isn't she?

TERRY: Coming up on the three month marker.

ANDY: Well. it says you're most likely to strip naked and sing Hakuna Matata in the forest with Blanka.

(this cause a dead, awkward silence. The SNK characters don't seem too surprised about it, though).

TERRY: Gimmie that damn thing! She can read my mind a mile away, I swear to God.

KING: This one here's from Vice's big tall Boss.

VICE: give that to me. I know just what to do with it.

(She marches away with the envelope in hand. What follows is the sound of a paper shredder).

BENIMARU: Terry's most likely to break kitchen utensils and fly through the air with the greatest of ease after I kick the living shit out of him? (Checks the back). Must be from Yamazaki.

MAI: Must be. He spelled his name wrong on the return address.

ZARATHUSTRAA: This is from someone who calls himself The Fiery Mage. He wants one's for Chun Li and Blanka.

SAKURA: Blanka could star as King Kong.

ZANGIEF: I'd see him rather as most likely to be the template for a new muppet.

DAN: I see him as being a rolling boulder. Indiana Jonesy stuff.

(Awkward silence)

KYO: movin' right along here.

E. HONDA: Chun Li's most likely to carry a .357 Magnum.

(Chun Li smiles at this)

E. HONDA: (gutteral voice) Hey Bison. Do ya feel.lucky?

ZARATHUSTRAA: What happened to Ryu and Ken? They've been gone a long time.

KEN: (Returning to the room) Ken and Ryu. Not Ryu and Ken. The proper structure is Ken and Ryu.

SAKURA: What did you guys talk about that was so important?

DHALSIM: I imagine it involves Ryu and Cammy.

KEN: Actually, yes it does. Ryu and I believe that Cammy's reason for hostility towards him was the fact that he may be partly responsible for what Bison did to her.

(Shock all around)

CHUN LI: Explain.

RYU: Cammy carries a part of Bison within her. His Psycho influence nearly destroyed any chance for her to have a normal life. There was no easy explanation as to why she out of all the other people Bison had with him was so brainwashed by him up until now.

DAN: Sure there was. Bison was a madman and he needed ultra-loyal soldiers. Cammy was just that unlucky.

CHUN LI: .It's Ryu, isn't it?

KEN: (nods) that's what we think. In order to fight Ryu effectively, Bison needed to have his psycho drive at full power, running continuously.

CHUN LI: The more powerful he makes himself, the worse Cammy becomes, is that it? RYU: Like Ken said, Cammy shares an unnatural union with Bison. My very existence may be why she has such difficulty breaking free and reclaiming her humanity.

(Long pause. Everyone seems flushed by this. Ryu especially)

ZARATHUSTRAA: Um, I think we've had enough for now. Thank you all, it's good that you all came and did this together, but I think that we must bring this to a close.

AUTHOR'S NOTE: Once again, I apologize for the hiatus. I wanted to bring an appropriate close to this fic so I hope that this is sufficient. For all those who wanted ones for specific characters not included in this fic: use your imagination. I'm sure I'm not the only one with ideas out there. You're all writers. Why should I be the only one to have fun with this?
