Glenn- COME ON! Don't give the story away!
Cammy- Yeah… Sheesh…
Guile- Why am I here?
Guy- Let's go! I wanna try my new move!
Sakura- WEEEEEEEEEE! I'M A BIRDIE!
Vega Strife- Dear Lord, help me……
Chapter 6: Shadowlaw Blitz
The pain… When will it stop… Sorrow… Confusion… Donuts… Wait, where did that come from? Ugh! My head! It hurts… Glenn… Where are you…
Cammy tossed and turned until she finally bolted upright in the bed. In the night, she looked around the room, which was not like the hotel room at all. An IV machine sat beside her bed with an open curtain draped around the bed. She did hear something familiar… Glenn's snoring. She looked over to a man slouched in a chair. Beside her was a heart shaped box next to her bed and she moved over to pick it up. Attached to it was a note, which read:
Cammy,
Hope you get better soon… It'll be dull without you for a while. Wish you could get better faster!
Glenn, Guy, Sakura, Guile…
She smiled and looked at the warrior as he slept in the chair. Something wasn't right. Cammy slipped into the covers and tried to get more sleep as Glenn moaned and shifted in his spot. She closed her eyes and was reawakened by the touch of a hand. "It seems you're getting better…" The voice said. Cammy opened her eyes and found a surprising sight… Bison.
"Wh- What are you doing here?" She cried. Besides the fact that he was still dressed in rags, he was as ominous as ever. He smiled as he looked into her eyes in the night.
"You are as beautiful as I remembered…" He said. Cammy blushed a little and then looked to Glenn. Bison followed her gaze and looked back to her. "There is no need to worry about him…" He said. Cammy looked back at Bison.
"What do you mean?" She asked as her memories came to her, remembering Bison being enemy number one. "I thought Red Delta destroyed you!" He smiled at the multi question.
"My dear, calm down. I'm under a temporary truce with your leader… Guile, I think… I'm here to help you for now…" Bison answered her. She looked back to Glenn.
"How do I know if you're telling the truth?" She asked. Bison put up a hand.
"I'm a man of my word… I promised not to harm you until Valence is no longer a threat to me…" He said as Glenn opened his eyes. Looking at Bison, he waved.
"Hey, Bison…yawn Man! Don't you ever let someone know that you're here?" He asked. Bison smiled to the red head and shook his head.
"I'm afraid that I have no such manners… Now, if you two will excuse me…" He said as he walked to the window as the dim glow of the full moon phased through the door. "I'll be on my way…" He said. He kissed his hand and flipped it to Cammy before fading away. She looked at Glenn.
"How could you not be scared of him?" She asked. Glenn shook his head while he shrugged.
"I don't know… I think he's a nice guy…" He said as he stretched and yawned again. Glenn made his way to the door and reached for the doorknob.
"Where am I?" Cammy asked him. He looked to the ceiling and thought for a moment.
"Well… You're not in Heaven…" She glared at him. He could see this because her eyes turned into fire with quick anger. "Okay, okay! You're in a hospital…" He said, trying to reassure her while he waved his hands with his childish smile as usual.
"How long was I out?" Cammy finally asked. Glenn turned and smiled.
"Well, You didn't miss much… About two days worth…" She blushed as ethe next question slipped from her throat. It was a good thing it was dark in the room.
"And you've been here the entire time?" His smile grew larger as he nodded. She smiled as well and bowed her head. "Thank you…" She said as he opened the door.
"You hungry?" He asked as the lights from the hospital hallway. She shook her head and laid back down. Glenn waved as the door closed.
"I'll be back in a minute…" Was what she heard as the door closed and darkness flooded the room once more. Her smile grew as she rolled onto her side. What the heck! Am I falling for this guy? Her head cried… But, even as her head screamed in anger and annoyance, her heart leaped for joy that she had finally found someone other than Bison…. In which brought her to another subject… A truce… What's Bison have planned for the Zero Strikers? I swear… If he so much as touches Glenn'scuteface…She thought as she clenched her fist. She continued to think about the subject until she fell into her deep slumber.
KERPLUNK! A honey bun fell from the vending machine racks and landed into the retrieval slot and Glenn reached in and snagged the surgery goodness in a package. He had an Anime smile as he sniffed the package. "Ahhh! Nothing like a good midnight snack!" He said before picking up a Pepsi and made his way back to Cammy's room. Once inside, he sat in the chair that he had reserved for himself for two days straight, and began to open the food, easing it into his mouth and closing his teeth into the soft bun. Suddenly, an explosion hit the grounds outside and caused the ground to rumble, making Glenn bit his tongue. "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAKKKKK!" He cried. This startled Cammy out of the bed and into a fighting stance, falling to the floor from lack of leg strength.
"Agh!" Was all she cried as she hit the floor. Glenn, trying to ease the pain in his tongue, ran for the door and flung it open to see nurses and doctors in a wide scale panic! His pain gone for the moment, he grabbed a random doctor and held him steady.
"What's going on?" He asked. The doctor was weeping and praying in tongues as he stood in the grip of Glenn's hand. The hero shook his head as he slapped him and shook him. "Tell me what's going on?" Glenn roared. The doctor looked at the red headed man and sighed, trembling as he spoke.
"Robots…. Plaguing the city…. Bombing-" KERBOOM! The doctor flew out of Glenn's grip and landed on the floor. He was okay. Glenn, on the other hand, had more problems to resolve. Upon re entrance of Cammy's room, a silver and black robot stared at the girl whom laid on the floor in a hospital gown.
"Cammy White… Shadowlaw Doll… Valence will be very pleased…" The robot scanned and spoke. Glenn looked at the robot and got ready to fight.
"What do you what, creep?" He roared. The robot glanced at him, beeping and bopping inside its metallic head.
"Akuma Alpha…" It said. Cammy looked at Glenn, whom clenched his fists tightly as the name rang out. "Experiment 14... Status: Destroy.." It finished as it raised an arm and its arm split into four parts, rearing back and spinning, letting the hand rear furthest and rest inside the hollow barrel that the spinning prongs made. Red energy flowed into the barrel and it started to fire multiple shots at Glenn, missing him completely. He dodged and rolled next to Cammy, rearing his right arm back and charging it with blue energy.
"BALLISTIC BLASTER!" He cried as he thrust his arm forward and firing the projectile, causing a large hole in the wall as the robot fell through it. Glenn ran to the hole and observed as the robot fell to its untimely doom, exploding like a bomb as it hit the ground from twenty stories. Cammy propped herself on her rum, using her arms for support.
"Glenn… Are you not telling me…" She trailed. The closed door shot open and Guy ran through the opening.
"Is everything alright?" He cried. Glenn was still at the window as he looked at Guy.
"Um… I'm gonna…" He trailed as he pointed to the window. Guy and Cammy sweat dropped.
"Glenn… You're not gonna jump, are you?" Guy asked. Glenn nodded. Concerned, Cammy gave it a try to convince him otherwise.
"Glenn… That's a twenty story drop…. You're not gonna …"
"Well," he started, looking back at the hole, "that was my original plan…" And without another word, he jumped.
"Shit!" Guy cried as he turned and ran out the door. Cammy watched as Glenn made his way down.
"Be careful…" She said softly…
Somewhere in the city:
On top of the building, Bison had felt the explosions and looked at the streets below. Many upon many a robot laid waste as it realized its only purpose, to seek and to destroy… They must be after Glenn… The ex-dictator thought as he jumped into the air and vanished without a trace.
Air Force Base:
As usual, Guile was fond working on information for the good of the team. Even with the exception of Bison's proposition, Guile still couldn't trust him from all that he had been through… He was not about to completely trust this vile man. As he leaned back in his chair and stretched, an alarm sounded. "RED ALERT! WE ARE ON RED ALERT!" An intercom range over the sirens. Guile shut the monitor off and jumped out of his seat.
"Finally some action!" He murmured as he rushed through his office doors.
Back in the city:
Glenn had fell for a good while now and saw the problem with the robots planting the explosives on the streets and watching random parts of the city go up in smoke. Once they saw Glenn, they all seemed interested only in him. "Target acquired: Akuma Alpha…Experiment 14...Status: destroy!" They all said in unison as all of their random arms transformed into cannons and began to fire red energy at him. The bullets whizzed past him as he brought both of his hands above his head and a bullet, about the same size as the robots were firing, appeared into his hands.
"BLITZ CANNON!" He shouted and threw the ball at them. The ball took an egg shape as it flew down into the streets, causing a small nuke wave, destroying a good number of robots, damaging others. He landed in a crouch and immediately started to combat the slow fighters until a big man stepped in front of him and bashed a robot in the head. He then lifted a hand and shouted:
"PSYCHO WAVE!" And the robots flew into each other. Bison turned to Glenn and smirked. "Watch it, boy, I won't always be here to save your psychic hide!" He cackled. Glenn smiled too.
"Thanks for that!" He said as he ran off to join the fray. Guy had finally made it to the bottom floor and was on his way to kick some robots into the scrap heap, until he heard…
"WEEEEEEEE! HELLO MISTER MAN, DO YOU SELL ICE CREAM?" Guy looked to find Sakura talking to a robot whom was clearly confused and sweat dropped.
"Sakura!" Guy roared in anger as he ran to her and punched the superb crap out of it and kicked it through a window. "Don't talk to strangers… especially if they are gray and don't look happy!" He instructed as he ran outside.
"OKEE DOKEE!" Sakura cried happily as she rushed to another robot. "DO YOU SELL ICE CREAM?"
Guy punched up another robot and threw it out of his way when a being came from the darkness and slaughtered three robots that were gaining on Guy. The Japanese man spun around and found a man that had blonde hair and prison clothing with shackles around his arms, long enough for him to fight. "Cody?" He asked. Cody smiled and gave him a thumbs up.
"Let's quit stallin' and kick some serious robot ass!" The American cried happily as he ran into the open and fought more robots. Suddenly, a series of military vehicles roared into view and everyone pointed their guns at Bison as they piled out.
"ALRIGHT, BISON-" A soldier called out as a robot flew past them. The large man looked at them with his threatening white eyes and glared at them.
"He's not behind this…" Their commander said as he came out. It turned out to be Guile. The soldier looked at him in confusion.
"Sir?"
"This is not Bison's doing… Destroy all robots!" He called as he jumped out of a tank and charged them with his bare hands, back to back with Bison.
This is only temporary… You do know that.." The ex dictator reminded him. Guile took a quick glance behind him and concentrated on the foes in front of him.
"Don't remind me…" He called back sarcastically as he dealt a blow to an oncoming robot. Bison was going at it as well until he vanished, leaving the rest to the American commander.
Glenn rushed a few robots and quickly made waste to them. All of the robots had been taken care of from the streets and the ground started to rumble again. He looked up to the twentieth and his face grew with concern.
Cammy sat on her knees know, trying to get up. She had failed every other time. What's wrong with me… I'm a Shadowlaw Doll… But Akuma Alpha? What is Glenn is more the question now… this was only one of many things that rushed her mind to the deep end. She had to get up! Glenn may need help out there! Cammy managed to get to her feet, but she was still wobbly… this was not a good omen… In front of her, facing the hole, a robot flew in and held out a hand, letting it transform into a cannon. "Cammy White…" Before the robot could comply with the situation, its head flew off and the metal body fell into a heap. Cammy looked behind herself to find Bison in the doorway with his hand out.
"Although I disagree with your methods of life, I won't let those robots destroy you before I do." He said. Cammy sensed a feeling of fluffiness in the room and she turned away.
"I can't face you… Not now…" She said. When she looked back, he was gone and the building rumbled. She felt herself slide to the hole and she caught hold of anything as she slid, grabbing the side of the blown out wall. "GLEEEEEEENN!" She cried in fear.
The red head saw no more opponents in the area and ran to the building as it fell. Guile saw this and pointed to the falling hospital. "GET THOSE PEOPLE OUT OF THERE!" He roared as the building seemed to stop falling. The soldiers looked at each other and shrugged, moving their vehicles over to the site. A large piece of ruble fell to a group of people and they could only close their eyes, bend low and wait for their untimely doom… Which never came. They looked to see Bison with his arms up and stopping the piece of ruble with his Psycho Power. Glenn rushed past him.
"Thanks!" He called as he rushed by and into the stairs. Once in there, he found that it was a big mistake. The stairs were crowded up to what seemed to the twentieth floor. "Great…" He mumbled as he jumped over a few people and reached the middle of the staircase and blue energy collected into his arm as he reared back. "BALLISTIC BLASTER!" He called and threw the arm at the floor, shooting off a wave and sending him up like a rocket up the stairs. Hang on, Cammy, I'm coming…
Vega Strife- Whew… that was long… I'm starting to slack off! This isn't good!
Glenn Sweat drop- I only thought that the Ballistic Blaster was only an attack…
Vega Strife Anger mark of forehead- Do you want me to make you go into the elevator?
Glenn More sweat drops- No!
