The two young street fighters continued their travels, aiming to increase their strength in case they happen to encounter the newly improved Akuma. It would inevitably be a fight for their lives. The former Korean Taekwondo practitioner had separated from Ryu, (taking a break in a quiet town from their travels). Ryu used the library computers to email Sakura for the progress report on her training, but Ryu was not used to going online as he found himself dumbfounded trying locate different buttons on the computer.
Juri yawned in boredom taking a breather outside, "Man, this guy should keep up with modern day technology."
"Code red, code red! We have a hold up at the youth center. All forces surround the area immediately!" Police exclaimed.
Police cars rolled passed the library, with intense speed, which aroused Juri's curiosity. Without a second thought, she followed the Police cars in anticipation to get some action. The police surrounded the Youth center, heavily armed, preparing to attack.
The armed men exclaimed, "Back off! We have hostages, so don't try anything funny!"
"Attention! What are your demands?" police inquired.
While the police continued to negotiate with the armed gunmen, Juri snuck inside. Quietly, she infiltrated the facility with the attention of fighting the thugs. The hostages, however, were the least of her concern.
"I'm warning you, there will be fatalities if you try something!" he barked in fear.
One of armed men heard a sound that roused his suspicion. He instructed their fellow gunman, "You. Go see what that was!"
The gunman walked with baby steps. With intention of killing anything that moved. Juri kept in the shadows, planning the right moment to attack.
A female police officer ordered. "Stop WHERE you are. That's far enough!"
"Whoever you are, stay out of our way, because this is personal!" they shot back.
The Chinese Interpol agent, Chun Li, approached determined to stop them. The armed thugs surrounded her. Two of the thugs charged at her with their combat knives, but was no match for her fast kicks taken down without a sweat. Two more thugs armed with crowbar launched at her, but were also knocked down without difficulties.
"Well, if it isn't my dear China girl. I see your looking well after our last encounter." Juri greeted appearing behind Chun Li.
She quickly turned around after she heard the familiar voice and exclaimed,
"Juri!"
Chun Li quickly got into her fighting stance against Juri.
Juri laughed, "Hah, back for another beating officer or maybe you got a school girl crush?"
"One way or the other you're coming with me. We're going to finish what we started long ago." She challenged.
"No thanks," Juri replied as her left eye glowed with power by her Ki.
Chun Li remembered her first encounter with Juri. She stood on her toes trying to keep cool under pressure. She knew Juri was a dangerous foe, so she blocked out all distractions. Juri on the other hand hissed in excitement for the upcoming fight (ready to go all out) no holds bar.
The two female fighters charged at each with full strength exchanging blow for blow of powerful kicks. Both fighters were evenly matched in terms of leg power. Chun Li launched her standard projectile attack. Juri quickly countered by swinging her leg launching out her own mid-level projectile attack. The two Ki's clashed with each other creating an impact.
Juri smiled and said, "You've grown strong since our last meeting."
The two of them were about to launch their final attack, but a group of thugs interrupting the fight. The two of them easily took out the armed thugs. The two street fighters then, found themselves back to back fighting off the thugs.
"This is an unexpected turn of events." Juri informed.
"For once I agree." She added.
"Take this bitches!" a thug called out shooting grenade launcher.
The two of them retreated knowing full well they couldn't handle a guy with a deadly weapon with just their fighting styles alone. The gunmen began shooting in different directions desperate to kill the two intruders. While still shooting he struck a condemned building as the ruble had begun to fall on Juri and Chun Li trying to escape the line of fire.
The gunmen grinned and said, "Yeah, I did it. I took care of those bitches!"
The Interpol agent and former S.I.N spy found themselves trapped together in the condemned building nearly buried inside the ruble. Juri activated her Feng- Shui-Engine attempting to bust out of the place. Chun Li quickly stopped her thinking about the situation they were in.
"Stop! If you release that much Ki energy, then the whole place will come down on us." She warned.
Juri grunted, "What should we do then?"
"The least we could do is just wait for someone to come get us, because we're stuck here." She shot back.
Chun Li and Juri sat down quietly not facing each other because of their differences. Chun Li still remembered that the time Juri endangered the people that were being held hostage by defected S.I.N agents. She knew she could not let her guard down. Juri was just relaxed and sitting quietly not concerned about Chun Li's presences.
Chun Li became uncomfortable by the dead silence as she decided to start up a conversation, "Have you always been this ruthless even while you were young?"
"Screw off; you don't know anything about me."Juri chirped silently.
"As a matter of fact I do, I know your father was lawyer in charge of prosecuting Shadaloo operations. And that your parents were killed in a car bombing and you were gravely wounded at the age of 15 on your left eye." She explained.
Juri rolled her eyes and shot back. "Don't you have all the answers? I see when you're not too busy taken down criminals. You're busy getting into other people's affairs."
"I don't mean to invade your privacy, but I have to read the files of every person involved in S.I.N or Shadaloo activity." She advised.
Juri scuffed and replied, "Yeah right that was when I used to believe in the justice system. You don't know how it feels."
"Look, you're not the only one who's lost someone special in their life." Chun Li said trying to sympathize with Juri.
Juri sighed sarcastically, "Oh Boo-Hoo. You think I still feel any remorse my dead parents?"
"I think you do, yet you're just hiding it behind after what you done for S.I.N."
"Whatever. Is this a police integration or maybe you want to get to know me better?" Juri teased winking.
Chun Li and Juri turned their heads from each other direction after their conversation. They were still not on friendly terms. Chun Li still had her eye on Juri suspicious of her actions, while Juri lied down waiting patiently for a way out.
Juri rubbed her head in frustration tired of sitting around, "Ugh! I can't take any more of this; I'm getting out of this dump!"
Juri charged her left eye with powerful Ki determined to break out of the condemned space.
Chun Li scuffed stopping Juri, "Relax, you hot head! It's not like you're going to die in here."
An armed gunman rushed into the condemned building where Chun Li and Juri were held under as he heard a sound. He reloaded his gun and stepped inside the condemned building with utmost caution. Even if the other man announced that the two were dead, as he checked for a body. Chun Li and Juri quickly ambushed him making their why out.
Chun Li and Juri rushed through the youth center fighting off the group of gunmen, before they could fire their weapons. Before long, the two made it to the leader holding the people hostage.
The leader drenched with sweat as he saw Chun Li coming, "Don't try anything or else I'll blow their goddamn heads off!"
Chun Li halted her attack obeying the gunmen orders. The leader lowered his gun towards the hostages thinking that he was in the clear. Juri hopped over Chun Li's shoulder and released a devastating amount of Ki putting down the rest of the gunman. Therefore, Chun Li saved the hostages successfully.
The Swat Team rushed arresting the gunmen and escorted the rest of hostages out of the building covered in blankets. Chun Li helped the remaining hostages out of the building. Juri stood quietly in apathy knowing it was the first time she saved an innocent life rather than destroying a life.
A little girl pulled on Juri's pants to get her attention, "Thank you for saving us." She said giving her flower.
"Don't mention it. It was nothing." Juri replied rubbing the back of her head. She didn't know if to feel joy or angry.
In consideration of the little girl Chun Li ordered. "This will goes against everything I stand for, but GO!" now realizing Juri is not as evil as she thought. "Get out of here before I change my mind!"
"See you later, and let's play again sometime!" Juri bid Chun Li farewell.
Ryu waited patiently for Juri on the park benches not knowing when she will come back or (if she comes back). But at the same time he grown worried about her. He held some tickets for a resort in his hands that he won off a scratch card.
Juri arrived and greeted, "Hey there handsome, did you miss me?"
"I was worried about you more or less, because I thought we could go somewhere together." Ryu replied holding two tickets.
"Ah! Now this is refreshing. I can't remember when the last time I relaxed like this." Juri moaned in passion chilling in a coed hot springs.
"They say hot springs eases the stress of one's mind." Ryu said.
Juri chuckled stretching her long legs, "Ah darling, if you knew the day I've been through, then you'd know how stressed I am?"
"Well I'm glad you're safe." Ryu grinned placing his hand on her shoulder in affection.
