Chapter Five: Plan B
-Justice High School-
The intense-looking young man paced in front of the ragged kendo squad that was sent to capture Sakura earlier in the day, but had failed. The young man was dressed in a red paramilitary uniform, complete with golden tassels and medals, and spit-shined boots. In one gloved hand, he was holding a katana. His long white hair was neatly tied into a ponytail.
Behind the militant-looking student, were Hideo Shimazu, who was present at the attempted capture of Sakura Kasugano, the principal of Justice High School, Raizo Imawano (the same guy that Edmond Honda fought when Mika was injured), and Kyoko Minazuki, the resident nurse of Justice. The three faculity members watched impassively as the katana-wielding student passed judgment on the battered kendoists.
Hyo Imawano stopped in front of the lead kendoist. In a calm, yet cool voice, he addressed the captain. "You have failed me."
The lead kendoist tried to speak up. "Lord Imawano, the Tamagawa student, she was not--"
WHAM!
A well-placed kick to the side of the kendoist's head was pretty effective in shutting him up. "SILENCE!" Hyo shouted. "I have no need for excuses! The whole lot of you should not have ANY trouble in capturing a simple schoolgirl!"
Hideo stepped forward. "Lord Imawano, may I speak?"
Hyo turned around. "What is it?" he snapped.
"The student from Tamagawa was not alone," Hideo explained. "There was a man with her, and he was the main reason that the kendo squad are in their present state."
"So? Get to the point."
Kyoko stepped forward. "If I may, Lord Imawano. The man that Hideo speaks of is Ryu Hoshi."
Hyo looked up. It seems he has heard the name before. "Ryu Hoshi? The same man that scarred the 'Muay Thai Emperor' Victor Sagat?"
Kyoko nodded. "He is Kasugano's sensei. Also, the Chinese detective snooping around is married to Ryu. Her name is Chun Lian Xiang. She is an expert in Wushu Kung Fu and Chinese Kenpo."
Hyo absorbed all of this. "Hmm. The martial artist and the Chinese detective. This can hinder my plans. We must deal with them swiftly and severely. No one--not even the infamous street fighter champion and the Chinese detective--will get in my way of unifying Japan under my hand. Hideo, you are responsible in...'incapacitating' the martial artist. Kyoko, see to it that the Chinese detective does not interfere with our plans. I'll deal with the Tamagawa student myself."
Both teachers nodded and vanished through the gym door.

-Shotokan School of Karate/Ryu and Chun Li's Home the next day...-
Inside the shrine behind the dojo, three men knelt in front of the altar where the two portraits of Gouken, the previous grandmaster of Shotokan Karate, and Dourai Xiang, Chun Li's father, rested in their places of honor. Today was the former's birthday, and three of his students were paying their respects. Ryu, for once was not dressed in his usual white karate dogi, but rather a dark blue hakama, the sleeves rolled up to the shoulders. Beside him, was his best friend/rival Ken Masters, who was dressed to the nines in a black three-piece business suit. The third person had long brown hair that was kept in a ponytail. He was dressed in semi-casual attire.
Despite the fact that Gouken had booted Dan Hibiki out of the Shotokan School years ago, Ryu and Ken treated Dan like a brother...
...and if Dan was any kind of martial artist, he would not let his ego get in the way. Otherwise, he would win in a fight...most of the time. That's why most people think ill of the Sakiyo-ryu expert.
"So what brings you to Japan?" Ken asked once he, Ryu and Dan exited the dojo.
"First off," Dan replied, "I'm here to promote my school. Believe it or not, but my school is doing pretty well in Hong Kong."
'That's a first,' Ken thought.
"Second, I'm here to visit my family, especially my little niece who I havent seen in about three years," Dan finished.
"You mean Ran?" Ryu asked.
Dan looked up. "You know her?"
"She's one of Sakura's friends," Ryu explained. "There's something happening to various students all over the city."
Dan listened intently as Ryu laid it all down. The missing students, the attack on Honda and Mika's school, and Chun Li's investigation on the missing students. Dan took it pretty well.
"WHAT?! Ran is in trouble?" Dan yelled. He raised his fist and shook it as tears ran down in streams on his face. "I'll help protect my niece and her friends! That will prove that Sakiyo-ryu is the strongest style! Then I will find Sagat and avenge my dad's honor! OYAJIIIIII!!"
Ken shook his head. Ryu was trying not to laugh at Dan's hysterics.
***
-Seiujin Girls' Academy-
While Dan was ranting in his usual fashion, our resident Interpol detective has arrived at Seiujin.
Chun Li felt like she was out of place. Rather than her usual Interpol uniform or even her battle dress, she was wearing a dark purple spagetti-strap halter top underneath a denim jacket, black denim jeans and a pair of white tennis shoes. Her dark brown hair with the trademark crimson tresses fell down her back. By her appearance she could easily be mistaken as a teenager.
As she entered the school's lobby, she was stopped by one of the school's faculty members. "Can I help you?" she asked.
Chun Li flashed her Interpol badge then follwed it up with a bow. "Detective Chun Li Xiang, Interpol. I'm looking for the headmaster."
The member bowed. "That I am. Headmistress, actually. I am Yuriko Matsuda. How can I be of help, Detective?"
"I'm looking for three of your students," Chun Li replied. "Aoi Hinezaki, Karin Kanzuki, and Akira Kazama. I wish to ask them some questions."
Headmistress Matsuda's expression fell. "Oh, no. Not those three."
"Why? What's wrong?"
Matsuda sighed. "Well, Karin Kanzuki, Aoi Hinezaki, and Akira Kazama are the three most imfluential students here at Seiujin. Karin's is the richest girl here at the school, and she and Zaki have been at each other's throats for the past couple of months. Akira Kazama's older brother Daigo Kazama is the leader of the Skull Gang over at Gedo High School so most people know not to pick a fight with her. She is also the peacekeeper between Karin and Zaki."
Before Chun Li could say anything, one of the female students yelled, "FIGHT!"
In a instant, both Chun Li and Headmistress Matsuda were off.
***
Inside the student caferteris, several female students were strewn across the floor (and tables). Perched on the table, was the blonde Japanese schoolgirl known as Karin Kanzuki.
Karin sighed. "Honestly. This grows boring."
"KANZUKI!"
'Speak of the devil,' Karin thought as she leapt off the table. A fraction of a second later, a length of chain smashed in the spot Karin was at moments earlier.
Aoi Hinezaki--who was still in her schoolgirl uniform, due to the fact that she was notified about the fight moments earlier--leapt in front of her.
Zaki pointed at the rich schoolgirl. "I thought we made an agreement, Kanzuki!" she barked. "You keep away from my disciples, and I won't come after you."
Karin folded her arms across her chest. "Hey, YOUR 'disciples' attacked ME. You really should control your gang, Hinezaki."
"That's Zaki to you!" Zaki snarled, swinging her chain. And misses. Karin performs an elaborate kata as she dodges Zaki's wild chain swings, the links charged with electricity.
"If you think I'm gonna let you hit me with that..." Karin muttered.
"HOLD IT!" A third student entered the fray. Unlike her two counterparts, she was wearing an olive-drab tanktop, camoflauge pants, and combat boots.
Akira Kazama insiunated herself between the two combating students. "That's enough, the both of you!" she commanded.
Zaki got into her face. "Just because your big brother is Daigo Kazama doesn't mean shit, Kazama, so get out of my way."
Not backing down, Akira got back in Zaki's face. "My brother should be the least of your worries, Zaki. You know that we have to unite against whatever is kidnapping the high school students all over Tokyo. Until then, we have to work together."
"I work alone," Zaki replied flatly.
Akira noticed the fourth person standing behind Zaki and backed off. Zaki turned around, and found herself face to face with Chun Li.
"Who are you?" Zaki demanded.
"Who am I is of no concern," the Chinese woman replied cooly. "Are you Aoi Hinezaki?"
"What's it to you?" Zaki demanded.
"Um, Zaki, I relly think you don't want to piss her off," Karin said. Even Karin Kanzuki knows that discretion is the better part of valor. One thing that a martial artist knows is that you NEVER piss Chun Li Xiang off.
Zaki remained oblivious to the fact that she was facing the infamous Interpol detective. She looked at Chun Li and addressed her in a smug tone. "This is a private manner between me and Kanzuki, so stay out of this."
"This IS my business," Chun Li replied. "I get paid for this."
Not wanting to deal with the intruder, Zaki threw a punch to the side of Chun Li's head.
That was a big mistake.
Chun Li simply caught Zaki's wrist and flipped her to the ground. Imagine Zaki's surprise when she found herself flat on her back with Chun Li looking down on her with a smug expression on her face. (Remember in the Mortal Kombat movie when Rayden flipped Liu Kang? Yes, THAT throw.)
In a rage, Zaki jumped to her feet and charged the Interpol detective. She kicked at the older woman, but hit nothing but air.
Zaki blinked. "What the hell?"
Chun Li appeared behing her.
Karin blinked. 'Since when did Chun Li knew how to teleport?' she thought.
Zaki turned around, just as Chun Li delivered a spinning back kick with breakneck speed. Fortunately for Zaki, she stopped a mere inch from Zaki's face, but held her foot there.
'Who the hell is this woman?' Zaki wondered.
"Are you finished?" Chun Li asked in a cool tone. She then lowered her leg and turned around. Just as she was about to speak to speak to Karin, Zaki charged. Sensing the incoming attack, Chun Li performed a vertical axe kick, Michelle Yeoh-style, and caught Zaki in the face. Zaki hit the ground like a bag of cement. Chun Li sighed. "Guess not," she mused. She looked at Karin. "It's been a while, Karin."
Karin bowed. "Detective--"
Chun Li raised her hand. "Chun Li."
Akira blinked. "Wait a minute. You're Chun Li Xiang, the 'Strongest Woman on Earth?'"
Chun Li smiled sheepishly. "That's me. You could say that I had a bit of an ego back then."
Akira's face was alight. "My older brother and I saw you fight in the tournament down in Nagoya a couple of months ago. You were awesome."
Chun Li beamed. "Thank you. I appreciate that. I was wondering--as soon as Miss Hinezaki regains consciousness--can I ask the three of you some questions concerning the student disappearances?"
***
Inside the school's faculty room, Zaki, now nursing a bruise on her forehead with an icepack, Akira, and Karin were being questioned by Chun Li.
"Several of our friends and some of Zaki's gang members were kidnapped," Karin explained. "I almost joined them if it wasn't for a group of students that helped me."
"You have any idea who might do such a thing?" Chun Li asked.
"We don't know," Zaki replied, "but I'd bet my last yen that it was those goons from Justice."
Chun Li rubbed her chin. "Justice High School?" she repeated. She remembered Sakura saying the same thing.
Akira nodded. "Yeah. Big Brother warned me about those guys, so I stay away."
Chun Li nodded. "Looks like he was right. Do you three know anything else?"
The three girls shook their heads. Chun Li stood up. "If I were the three of you, I'd watch your backs."
"Same goes for you, Chun Li," Karin replied. "Tell Ryu I said hey."
"I will."
After Chun Li had left, Zaki turned to Karin. "Who the hell was that woman?"
"Chun Li Xiang, Interpol Detective, martial artist," Karin replied. "Considering her skills, you got off pretty lucky."
***
[Here's where the real fun happens...the ensuing action secne was inspired from 'Action Jackson.']
Chun Li exited the school and headed for her car, which was parked across the street. Several yards away from Chun Li's car, a black sedan was parked nearby.
As she approached her car, the sedan peeled out at breakneck speed, intenting on turning Chun Li into Interpol roadkill.
Chun Li's Dark Hadou-enhanced senses kicked into overdrive as she leapt out of the way, just as the sedan crashed into the side of her car. Rolling to her feet, she saw that getting into ther car was pointless so she took off on foot after the car, the Dark Hadou giving her some extra speed.
The sedan ran into some traffic, but when the driver saw that Chun Li was closing in on the car, it sped off, nearly hitting several pedestrians in the process. Before the sedan could take off, Chun Li hopped on a nearby parked car, leapt into the air, and landed on the roof of the sedan.
The driver heard the thud on the ceiling and correctly assumed that the Interpol agent was on the roof of the car. The driver began to swerve, attempting to send Chun Li flying off the roof of the car. Chun Li was hanging on for dear life as the driver reached over 90 miles per hour on the sedan.
Seeing that swerving wasn't going to work, the driver began to ram into parked cars, but Chun Li would not yield.
"Okay," Chun Li growled, "That's ENOUGH!"
With one hand, she punched through the driver's window, completely shattering it (and lucky for Chun Li, not breaking her hand in the process) and grabbed the steering wheel. She turned the wheel hard to the left, forcing the driver to hit the brakes.
"WHOA!" Chun Li couldn't hold on and longer and was sent flying off the car's roof. She landed hard on her side and rolled to a stop.
Getting to her feet, she saw that the driver of the sedan had recovered and was aiming for her. Chun Li quickly made a decision.
Chun Li sprinted towards the car.
The sedan peeled off, burning rubber.
When the car was close enough, Chun Li,, showing off her amazing leg strength, flipped over the speeding vehicle. The driver followed Chun Li, thus failing to pay attention to the front of the road, which was a display window in the front of a building.
The driver saw the building and tried to stop.
Too late.
The sedan careened head on into the display window, where it crashed, kicking up dust everywhere and destroying everything within the building. Chun Li raced to the building, only to find that the car was empty. Whoever it was, they had managed to escape.
The Interpol agent fumed. "Shit. Whoever it was, they got away." Chun Li looked at her hand she used to bash in the window. It was bruised, and she needed to get to a hospital to get it treated.
As she left she wondered, 'How am I going to explain this to Ryu?'
***
As Chun Li walked away from the scene, Kyoko Minazuki, the driver of the now-trashed sedan, staggers away from the scene. She was pretty damn lucky to escape with her life.
She leaned agaist the wall and tried to catch her breath. Through her slightly bended and cracked glasses, she watched Chun Li walk off and whispered, "Chun Li Xiang, you have the luck of the devil. This is not over by a longshot. Soon, Detective Xiang, soon I will have you at my mercy."
