::Chapter 1 ~ Latency::

~*~*~*~*~

"Why do I live this life...?" A young girl only the age of 14 said to herself, lying in her bed in the shadowy cell, which was hers to call home.

She was petite, and soft looking. Dressed in a tight navy blue body suit, covering her whole body, except her back, with an orange tie and knee-high black boots. She had long blonde strands of hair casually braided in pigtails, and ice blue eyes, so unique and beautiful, yet so distant and inhuman- The inhumanity of a killing machine like herself- A doll. Or better yet "The Killer Bee". Cammy White was her name. Her past was unknown to herself, nor did she care. To her, she felt she had only lived for three months, her body that of a 14-year-old, but she hadn't remembered. The only things she remembered were painful injections of drugs. For what reason she felt she would never know...

She heard a knock on the metal of her door that instantly erupted her dreamy daze. "Enter!"

"Master Bison wants to see you," Said a girl as she entered firmly, similar to Cammy's age and dress, with short light orange-red hair and bright brown eyes. Her accent was German, yet she spoke almost in a robotic tone.

"All right, Juni."

"He wants Juli and I to be there too." Juni said.

"Right."

Juni walked out of Cammy's cell and shut the door.

Soon after, Cammy quickly jumped off her bed, and walked down the halls of Shadowloo, mostly crowded with scientists and guards.

Once she reached the meeting hall, she was greeted by Juli, her other friend. Dressed identical to Juni and herself, she had dark brown hair tied in a tight bun, with almond brown eyes- she was a bit older than Juni and herself.

They both walked quietly down the large rectangular table that seated Bison the leader of Shadowloo, along with a large and tall asian man, with a bald head and an eye patch, on the right side of it, and sat at their assigned seats.

As Cammy scanned the room, her eyes met a handsome man with pale blue eyes, long blond hair and a snake tattooed around his arm which she could tell may connect to his chest. He looked three or four years older than Cammy. He turned his head to her, matching her gaze with a slight grin. Cammy squirmed in her chair as their eyes met, and quickly moved her head toward Bison's side of the table. She heard a quiet chuckle come from the blonde's direction.

After clearing his throat, Bison finally spoke.

"Lately, I have been followed by many police, military, and governments, for obvious reasons. Now that I have brought you here, I would like to make an offer to all of you. I am in need of protection, and I want one of you to do the job. This week you all will be participating in a small tournament, to become my bodyguard and personal assassin. If you lose, you will stay at your current position, I will only except the best... do you have any questions?"

None of them spoke. "You may all be excused. Be sure that you are ready this Saturday at 09:30."

Juli, and Juni rose from their seat and saluted Bison, before walking away.

Cammy, however, saluted Bison, but walked slowly, her eyes glanced back at the man with the tattoo. Is he going to participate?' She hoped he wouldn't, he had air about him that seemed cocky. She needed this job...and she wouldn't let anyone or anything get in her way. She figured it would make her life better... If she won, maybe she would understand her life as it was. The answers had never come to her. All experimenting, all the pain, all the lost thoughts, she needed an answer.

Cammy left the meeting hall and walked to her cell.

"Was that the girl you cloned?" The man with the snake tattoo said, getting off his seat. "She is quite beautiful..."

"Yes it was, Vega." Bison said. "You will be fighting her in the tournament, not Decapre. So be careful, she is very dangerous. I trust you can keep this from her…"

Vega nodded.

"And Vega…"

"Yes?"

"She is a precious object… One so delicate is only meant to look at… Not touch." Bison then poured himself a glass of wine. "I saw you."

"Not to worry..." Vega said smirking as he look Bison dead in the eye. He gave a quick nod and left the room.

Bison entered the Shadowloo lab after his meeting.

"Has Decapre received her fighting data?"

"Yes, sir." A scientist said as he approached one of many doors in the corner of the lab and opened it, revealing a girl that looked identical to Cammy lying unconscious on a metal table.

"She may wake up soon, what would you like us to do with her, sir?"

"Put her in the cell we have arranged for her, and please put this mask on her," Bison gave a black mask to the scientist. "I do not want Cammy to know of this. It may cause her to remember things she shouldn't..."
