Author's Note: I just wanted to say thanks for the reviews on the first chapter and I hope you enjoy this one just as much. Yes this is taken from the 2nd game because that's one of my favorite games ever even though I may end up throwing a few other characters in there too. I hope you all enjoy.
Chapter Two:
Getting There
Watching people board the plane, Chun-Li swallowed hard. She was on her first step to walking into a great wide world in which she had always longed to see. Now, at last, she was being able to make that dream of hers thrive to life. And to put it simply, she was a nervous wreck.
'This is what will lead me to Bison and lead him to his death and destruction. I can't wait till I meet him face to face because I'm going to let that old man have it. He should have to suffer the same fate he made my father suffer. A very slow and painful death is what he will have. I know I sound cruel but that's just honestly how I feel.' She thought as she climbed up to the plane and ran her fingertips over the metal smoothly then turned to take one last look at China the way she knew it.
Out of the corner of her eye, Chun-Li saw her boss standing down on the ground looking up at her with a smile on his face. She longed to yell out to him and even to run back to him but instead she simply smiled and then turned away from him and leaned back, closing her eyes and awaiting the plane's take off.
They had been in the air for quite some time and Chun-Li found she lost in all of the commotion around her as she looked on in all of the action of people chatting and eating happily and babies playing. Everything to be at such peace that she couldn't help but to feel out of place because her heart was full of such hate in a hatless world.
After she grew bored of watching everyone, Chun-Li put on her headphones and soon allowed sleep to consume her and all of her thoughts and feelings letting it all back out within a deep and dark dream.
~ Dream ~
"Daddy!" A young Chinese girl cried as she ran up to her father and he spun her around in her arms. "Daddy, I've missed you." She said as she hugged him tight.
"Oh honey I know how you feel. I've missed you too sweetie. But guess what, daddy's home to stay for a while now." The man replied as he carried his daughter into his house and up to his office.
When they got in the room, Chun-Li saw a man sitting in her father's chair with his back to them. She couldn't tell what he looked like but she could sense a dark presence around him though she a mere child.
"Bison…I thought you were in prison." Her father said as he recognized the man sitting there.
"Oh you foolish man. You can never get rid of me that easily. But since you were foolish enough to try, you will die here." He said as he turned around quickly in his chair and shot Chun-Li's father and he fell to the floor dropping the child as he did so.
"DADDY!" She cried as she shook the limp body of her father and couldn't stop the tears from falling down her cheeks. "Wake up daddy." She said again as the man in the chair got up and walked over to her.
"Little girl, give him up and come with me." Bison said as he stared down hard at the little girl shivering before him.
"No! Leave me alone." She yelled as she kicked Bison in the leg and he stepped back from an instant shot of pain.
Bison glared at the little girl and then slapped her across the face with a ring on his finger, causing a scratch to appear on her cheek and blood to seep through the fresh womb. "That's what you get for talking back to authority." He shouted. "Unless you want to end up like this weak man." He said kicking her father.
Chun-Li made a lunge for Bison with her small fragile body but she was stopped short by his hand again and fell to the floor with a loud thump and very soon she was consumed by darkness.
Coughing, Chun-Li opened her eyes to see flames all around her and smoke above her and she coughed again as the flames snapped at her and the smoke teased the small child. She looked down when she realized that she was being carried. Her father was crawling around on the floor holding onto her even though he was bleeding and could barely breathe on his own.
"Daddy."
"Don't worry Chun. I'm getting you out of here one way or another. Don't worry about me baby, I'll be fine. Here…I want you to have these." He said as he stopped and slipped spike bracelets around each of her wrists. "Now no matter what, you can always remember your daddy." He said.
"I'm so scared." She whimpered as she clung tight to her father and started to cry.
"Look at me. You need to be strong for me ok? This building is falling apart and I want you out of it before anything happens. Now go!" He cried desperately pushing her on a little farther.
"What about you daddy?" She asked turning around to face him. "I want you to come too."
"Just go!" He cried as he pushed her forcefully just as a beams fell all around them and the little girl took off running trying her best to dodge all of the flames even though it seemed hopeless.
She took one last look behind her at the burning house before her eyes and the pile of fallen burning beams covered the only person to ever love her. Then she pushed the door open and forced herself out into the great wide world.
~ End Dream ~
Chun-Li awoke with a jerk and she jumped up in her seat and panted heavily. She looked around and realized that it was only a dream that she was having all over again. She lived in that dream and it haunted her day in and day out. 'Only a dream.' She thought as she placed a hand over her eyes and blocked out the lights of the plane.
"Excuse me Miss. May I get you anything?" A girl asked as she looked down at Chun-Li with an expecting look on her face.
"A glass of water please." She replied softly as she ran her fingers through her bangs and looked down at the bracelets around her wrists as the dream played and replayed in her mind.
A young guy sat down beside of Chun-Li and closed his eyes. He had moved from another seat up to hers so a woman could let her child sleep beside of her so she could watch her. He had sort of long blond hair and blue eyes and pierced any girl's heart. He was dressed nice even though he looked like he could kill someone if given the order.
"Hello." She said quietly as she looked at him.
He nodded his head and then looked at her just to arch an eyebrow. "Where you headed?" He asked as he let his eyes scan her.
"Japan." She said shortly leveling her eyes on his.
"That makes two of us. The name's Ken Masters. Who might you be?" He asked looking at her carefully making her squirm uncomfortably.
"Chun-Li is all you need to know about me. I'm fighting to be named World Warrior and I can guarantee you that you won't be looking at any other girl that way when I'm done with you." She said hotly.
Before Ken could reply, the stewardess brought Chun-Li's water to her and smiled flirtingly down at Ken before walking back off.
"That's stupid. Why must girls be so caught up in guys like you for? No offense but I find you to be a complete jerk if you look all girls over like you did me." She said as she pulled her feet up into the seat and sat Indian style.
"Yeah well, I don't find your attitude to be very attractive either. Maybe just maybe we could have hit it off and became friends but apparently you don't want that." He said as he looked at her coldly.
Seeing the same look in his eyes that Chun-Li saw in Bison's, she turned her head to the window and closed her eyes as the scene replayed again in her mind taunting her like a curse.
The two of them didn't talk very much on the rest of the trip but they did make short conversation and cooled things off between them for the moment being. Then at last, the plane landed in Japan and they both got off together.
"So where do we go from here?" Chun-Li asked looking about her at her new home away from home until the battles was over.
"Have you never been here before Chun?"
"No. This is my first time."
"Oh well then. Just stick with me and I'll get you to where you need to be. I've actually been here a lot because of this World Warrior stuff and I used to train here when I was young so I'm not stranger to Japan." Ken said as he and Chun-Li each got their luggage and then headed off towards the rooming cabins.
Chun-Li looked around at everything and saw a lot of people from a lot of different countries. She could hear the different accents and it made her smile on the inside to know that out of everyone there was to choose from, she was the one chosen to represent China.
Ken took her to a sheet where she gave her name and then she received a map of the local area and a number to her cabin. She found her cabin quickly and went inside. She looked around and saw that her roommate was there already. 'I hope we get along.' She thought as she dropped her luggage beside the second bed and then walked back out to find Ken and see what else she could do before she actually had to meet her new roommate. She was thankful that she had met one new guy and became friends with him but then it scared her to know that she must meet a lot of other people that might not be as welcoming as Ken had been to her. This was her first step into her new life as she wandered around the grounds. This was her first step into getting there.
Not being able to find Ken again, she headed back to her cabin and lay down for a minute and closed her eyes taking in the different smells and stuff of her room. Then a shadow fell upon her and she looked over at the door and shaded her eyes against the sun with her hand to see who had come in there with her but the person was only a shadow with the bright sunlight hiding them as they stepped into the room and closed the door behind them.
End Chapter Two
Author's Note: Well, what do you think about it now? Do you all like this chapter as much as you did the last? Who do you think her roommate will be? If you want to suggest anyone or anything then review and tell me. I hope this story is turning out because I'm enjoying writing it. : D Aren't I just the sweetest thing? Just kidding…now go on and review and I'll update soon. Oh and with Chun's dream, that's just something that I thought would give real good excitement even though that's not what really happened. I kind of liked the idea because I wanted a fire built up inside of her if you know what I mean. Love all my fans!
