Chapter II: Shopping for Chaos
Early the next morning, Cammy woke and turned herself onto her side, hoping to fall back asleep, but couldn't for some strange reason. Not only go back into her slumber, but a loud snoring seemed to come from somewhere within the hotel room. Cammy positioned herself on her elbows and groggily looked down to the side of the bed to see a red haired man sleeping peacefully on the floor in only his black pants. The only time he seems normal is when he's asleep she thought with a smile. She had grown attached to him over the night, but not in a relationship. She rolled over to the other side of the bed and got up, exposing herself only in a pink night gown with little kittens all over them. As Cammy got up, she gave herself a long stretch before heading for a chair with her bags in them. As she had started the earlier night of unpacking, she tossed random items onto the bed, such as more clothing, two machine guns, grenades, bullet belts, clothing, tooth brush, dead cat… Okay, not a dead cat, but it was a doll, hoping not to wake Glenn. A few minutes later, Cammy had found herself in a nice relaxing bath to wake her up and start her day off right……. Then chaos rained on her blonde pigtailed head. With no shower curtain covering her, Glenn walked in in a stupor, picked up a toothbrush and started to brush his teeth, completely not even acknowledging Cammy's presence in this awkward moment. Her body turned brighter than a sunburn at that moment and there was Hell to pay. " GLENN!" she roared out. Glenn, slowly cocked his head to the side and suddenly found the predicament in which he had thrown himself into. He hastily rushed out of the bathroom with toothpaste all over his lips like a rabid dog and slammed the door shut as Cammy reached up just in time to jerk the shower curtain close so that he could see nothing of her body except her face. As he left, she could hear a groggily shout from Glenn.
" I'M SORRY!" he cried out. Oh, God, this wasn't gonna be a good day…… Oh, no it ain't. With himself awakened from the near death experience, he though it would be best to go outside. After he had put on the black and silver shirt, and headed out the door. But on the way out, he noticed a nice pile of weapons scattered all over the bed, a couple of machine guns, some grenades, two bullet straps…. Then a cat doll. An idea struck him and he continued to his destination.
Cammy was now in her moody side (and for those o you whom don't know Cammy, it would be wise not to get involved with this moody little twenty-four-year-old). She stormed out of the bathroom, fully dressed in a white midriff and a pair of blue jean shorts as she walked into the main room in search for her sacks and sneakers…. And not seeing Glenn anywhere in sight. She sighed. Well, think of it this way, her brain tried to confront her, at least he's not telling the world about it, plus you really didn't mind at all that he took a peek at ya, so, c'mon… Another part of her brain seemed to be in her defense in this little mental conversation. But, then again, you don't even know the guy but by his own name and you are only partners… No gushy stuff now or later. If anything else, Glenn will always be a friend….. Even if he's the most perverted friend you have ever met. She seemed to pause as in to think, then smiled. But then, Ken had always been the pervert in our last adventure. She put the conversation on hold as she slipped her socks and shoes on and found her purse, grabbing the card and moving out of the room. Outside, the hotel was built right next to a busy intersection and cars were zipping this way and that, their motors filled the air with their copper fanned engines running and exhaust fumes staining the atmosphere. She took a deep breathe, then coughed because of the fumes. She really long to go on a nature thing. Like camping. She shook her head. Now wasn't the time to think about camping, now was time to get Glenn something better then that ridicules worn and ripped jogging suite he was always wearing… And maybe some better shoes. She looked around the balcony, but he was nowhere in sight. " Oh, come on!" She fumed and looked in the pool area.
Glenn never knew that the pool area was quiet… Good grounds for meditation. He sat cross-legged on a diving board and began his early morning prayer. " Father who art in Heaven, hollow be thy name-" Just as he was finishing the first line, he could feel the presence of another. He didn't have to open his eyes to tell that there was a girl standing about twenty paces from him and was coming closer, but he let her anyways and continued his prayer. After this, he opened his eyes as he dug into his pocket and pulled out a cross necklace. The cross could easily be recognized as a sword, but with no hilt and the arms of the small piece of jewelry acted as hand guards. He looked to his left to find Cammy, then looked back to his possession. "I'm sorry for what happened in the hotel room earlier and I-" Cammy put up a hand to silence him as he was getting into his apologies. The two of them could see that this day may be better than what they thought. Cammy smiled.
"Come on, lets go." she said as she left the pool area. Glenn looked after her.
"Where are we going?" he asked as he got off of the diving board and a kid scampered up the small ladder and jumped right in. A small group rushed after him and jumped in, soaking Glenn with the chlorinated water. The English girl laughed and said with a smile,
"We're going shopping."
The two entered the store almost lunch time and Glenn was famished. Cammy didn't mind, but in asking how much money he had, she went white. "Actually, I don't have a penny to my name." he said. Cammy complicated the problem further by rushing him to a nearby hamburger joint and slamming down a wadded up pile of bills.
"Give me as many cheeseburgers as you can from this!" Cammy cried. Everyone in the store seemed to slowly look at her as the woman behind the counter slowly picked up the wad of bills and started to slowly count it. Cammy slammed a fist down onto the counter, causing everyone to jump. "TIME'S A FACTOR, DAMMIT!" She roared. The elderly woman picked up the pace and finished counting in about three seconds flat… New record! As the lady went to tell her, Cammy gave her a dangerous look. "If I don't get those cheeseburgers now, I'll cook my own and shove them up where the sun don't shine!" She growled. The old lady closed her mouth and rushed into the back and Glenn hoped to calm his partner down.
"Ummm….You can calm down now…" he tried to say and, to his surprise, Cammy turned to face him with a wide anime-like smile.
""I'm calm, I'm cool, I'm fine!" She said in a jazzy way. Glenn made a nervous grin and sweat dropped. I took them some time, but an order of a thousand cheeseburgers were being delivered. Cammy looked to a table, then back to Glenn. "Shall we?" she asked. Glenn liked where this was going.
"We shall." he answered as they sat. Cammy snatched one and about to make the world's largest bite, before she saw Glenn with his hands connected and his head bowed. This concerned her and she was about to ask him of his problem. That was, until, he started hi feeding frenzy with a loud "Amen!" Stuffing on Cheeseburger into his mouth at a time. Cammy looked at him as he ate, and enjoyed his company, but needed to know something .
"Forgive me for being a little too curious, but are…" she trailed off. Glenn stopped eating the burgers and looked to her. She smiled and continued. "Are you a Christian?" She asked, praying to the powers that be that he was to say Satanist. He smiled.
"The world need more people like you, Cammy." Glenn said as he took another bite. "Yes, I am, but why do you ask?" he answered between chews. Cammy gushed and quickly answered him.
"Nothing, I just wanted to know." she said between mouthfuls. Glenn nodded. He knew that there was more to it than that.
Within the hour, the two had finished the feast (Glenn eating most of it and not gaining a single pound) and the two went out to shop for clothing for Glenn. He was made to try various things, like a tux, casual clothing, pajamas, shoes, right down to every sock that wasn't in a package (finding that they were too tight of his feet, Glenn pointed the problem out and they found that they were baby socks. "So that's why they had the little pink bow ties on them…" Cammy had exclaimed.) and they were now finishing up the shopping. Cammy was enjoying herself, but knew that Glenn must have been getting tired of going in and out of changing rooms almost every five seconds. But what she didn't know was that Glenn was enjoying this as much as she was…. Kinda.
In another two hours, they were getting ready to go pay for the clothing (Cammy at least) while Glenn went to find Cammy something to get her…When he got money, that is. As he looked, He noticed a strange presence from about the entrance of the store. He closed his eyes and concentrated. It was a male of tremendous power… Unlike Ryu or Ken, for the matter.
Somewhere else in the store, a tall, muscle-bound man that stood at least seven feet tall. He wore an eye patch on the left eye and a large scar ran from the bottom of his upper left chest, down his six-pack area, and to his lower right waist. He wore no shirt, only a pair of big shots with training tape around both fists and up to his mid forearms and on his feet to the top of his ankles. He looked up to see the red haired man and grinned. "Target acquired. Preparing to attack!" He said. Another man looked to him.
"Sir, what did you say?" he asked. The taller one looked down at him and the smaller one ran off, too timid to try to mess with him. Sagat returned his attention towards the unsuspecting red head and grinned.
"You're mine, Alpha!"
Glenn could feel the presence grow stronger than the first time he sensed it. If Cammy notices that I've been missing for a while, she'd probably forget about me and leave he thought as he started to make his way to the cash register. He saw Cammy wave at him, and he waved back but something wasn't right. A large shadow appeared behind Cammy and had his arms outstretched, as if going in for a bear hug. It was all Glenn could do from facial expressions. As the creature loomed over her, Glenn broke out into a run. "CAMMY!" He cried.
Cammy wondered why Glenn was running until she heard him shouting. "LOOK OUT! BEHIND YOU!" She turned and was shocked to see one of the dangerous fighters coming for an attack, Sagat! Cammy just ducked the bear hug and rolled out of the way as Glenn leaped into the air and reared back his fist the was glowing blue.
"Ballistic Blaster!" He called and punched Sagat in the face, sending him away from Cammy. Glenn quickly helped her up to her feet. "Are you-" The brute ran and connected his fist into Glenn's gut hard and pinned him into the wall. Cammy gasped, then went for an attack.
"Drill Spike!" She cried as she ran, went low and flipped, causing herself to act like a drill as her legs emitted blue energy. With a hit rate of over 100, Cammy nailed Sagat in the tailbone (that's gotta hurt), letting Glenn fall to the ground. Soon, Sagat was on the ground. Cammy stood waiting to help him up. "Looks like it's your turn to be thankful." She said with a smile. Glenn could see the tyrant rouse himself back to his feet. Glenn took the hand and got up.
"Next time you hit someone, hit them in the head, okay?" He advised be fore running off to finish off Sagat. Reluctantly, and with an annoyed sigh, Cammy followed. "Why are you here?" Glenn interrogated as he rolled Sagat over, just to find that Sagat was plying dead. The gargantuan man caught hold of Glenn's throat and started to lift him as he rose from the ground.
"Destroy target…Alpha…" Sagat seemed to repeat to himself over and over again. Of course, this was making no sense to Glenn what so ever, but one thing was for sure…. If the fight kept up like this, Glenn would suffocate! Cammy rushed over to the two and began dealing blows to Sagat's back, which seemed to only get him angrier. In rage and annoyance, Sagat thrust out his free arm and caught one of Cammy's oncoming attack and flung her into a nearby wall. "Must destroy… Target… Destroy… Alpha." Sagat said again as he returned to face the hopeless Glenn. The red head's grip became stronger as rage infiltrated his very being.
"I'll destroy something…" Glenn said as a blue aura floated off of him and Sagat's grip seemed to get weaker. Glenn started to slowly pull the titan's fingers off of his throat and landed to the floor, Sagat's and still in his own and he pulled the thumb and index finger as far as he could, breaking the flesh holding the appendages together. Sagat let out a yell of pain and Cammy watched the entire thing. It didn't take Glenn five minutes to bring the brute down. Cammy, amazed, only required one thing.
"I need to…Sit down…" She said as a extremely large sweat drop fell from the back of her head.
"Guile! What on Earth happened back there?" Cammy cried. Guile seemed surprised himself. He leaned back in his chair and put his hands behind his head. After the store fight, Glenn and Cammy brought the towering hulk into Interpol custody. She had told the air force commander every little detail about Glenn that she saw with her own eyes.
"To be quite honest, I never really knew his full potential….If he could beat Sagat, then he may have a fighting chance against Ryu and Ken…" He trailed off. Cammy watched Glenn through a high-rise window as he continued to train in what looked like Ryu's martial arts style.
"So… If he could beat Sagat…What is he?" She asked aloud. Guile sat up and typed into his computer. A picture of Glenn came up, his name, age, even hit rate, which exceeded 100, as Cammy's did.
"I don't know, but if I were you, I'd keep a close eye on him… You'll never know if he'll wind up like a cannon ball…" Cammy understood everything the Guile was saying…
UUUUG! Took me all day to write that one up, so enjoy and review please! God Bless
