Chapter 12
In this corner…
Cammy had taken a severe amount of punishment from Juri's attacks. And Juri had only gotten started-as she activated her Feng Shui Engine Eye. Cammy warily watched Juri approach-and as Juri closed in on her, Cammy saw her cry out in pain, and grab her head and eye. Cammy looked at her, and thought What's happening? That device in her eye…I don't know how much time I have, but I'd better make the best use of it! Cammy then charged towards Juri, who looked up to see the English agent rushing towards her. Juri attempted a kick-only for Cammy to spin out of the way of the attack. She struck Juri in the midsection with her elbow, then swung her forearm into Juri, striking her a second time.
Juri staggered away, but she quickly regained herself. She watched Cammy approach-and she then quickly kicked Cammy in the side of her leg, and Cammy crumpled to the ground. Juri then spun and kicked Cammy in her chest, which knocked Cammy to the ground. Juri cackled, and said, "Hmm…it seems that the F.S Engine needs more work-I was hoping I could use it for more than a few seconds. But it was still enough to beat you."
Cammy replied, "I don't care what you've done to yourself-I will make you pay for hurting my sisters!" Juri replied, "Oh, kitten…you think that will make everything right? And think of all the things you did as an agent of Shadaloo!" Cammy said, "Those things are in my past…and I cannot undo the mistakes I made. But you are not one to judge me!" Cammy did a handstand, flipping onto her feet. She grimaced at the pain in her knee, but she still stood to face Juri. Juri attempted a kick towards Cammy's head-which the Brit ducked. She rolled under the attack, so that she was behind Juri. Cammy grabbed Juri's waist, lifted her up, and drove her backwards-with a suplex- onto her head and neck.
The attack stunned Juri, causing her to rise slowly. Cammy then said, "And now-here's my attack! Spin Drive Smasher!" Cammy then spun her body, drilling herself into Juri. Cammy then pushed herself into the air-feet-first taking Juri with her. Cammy landed, and then collapsed as she remembered he pain in her knee. Juri wasn't so lucky-she landed hard, rolled to her side, and slowly tried to get up. She looked at Cammy, who was standing triumphantly. Cammy said, "That's all? No snide, flippant comments?" Juri lifted her hand, and with a smug sneer, gave Cammy the finger-and collapsed, unconscious.
And in the other corner-
Ryu had gotten the upper hand in his battle against Vega-even though his body was covered with slashes from Vega's claw, he still had beaten the Spaniard. And Vega had made the fight personal-Vega attempted to rip apart Ryu from his love, Chun-Li. And to rub salt into the wound, he had intimated that he would have had his way with Chun-Li…and he still planned to. All that Vega needed to do was get Ryu out of the way.
Unfortunately for Vega-all he did was to make Ryu angry. And now Vega was paying the price-Ryu had broken his ceramic mask, and 'damaged' his face. Now Vega was determined to spill the Shotokan master's blood. But Ryu was counting on this-no honorable warrior would wear a mask-unless he was trying to protect his face. And he knew that Vega was unbalanced. Now, all I need is the opening to finish this…
Ryu watched as Vega backflipped, and then launched himself from the wall. He avoided the assassin's claw, and dodged Vega's swipes. He waited, and watching for the right moment. Vega, although blinded by rage, was still able to focus his attacks. He then saw an opening-and plunged his claw into Ryu's side. Vega then said, "I've got you now, amigo!"
Ryu looked into Vega's face, and said, "No. I've got you, now…amigo…" He then grabbed Vega's wrist in an iron grip, and removed the claw from his side. Still holding Vega's wrist, Ryu then headbutted Vega, then hit him with a punch in the midsection. He followed that up with a kick to the same area, and then released Vega's wrist. As Vega staggered back, Ryu drew his hands to his waist and concentrated his chi. He then said, "SHINKUUU-HAAAA-DOOO-KEENN!" He then launched a ball of energy that struck Vega and knocked him into the wall. He slumped to the ground-unconscious like his teammate.
Ryu exhaled, and looked at the wounds covering his body. He concentrated, and felt that none of his wounds were severe. It seems that he missed my vitals…He looked towards Cammy, and asked, "Hey! Are you alright?" She smiled, and gave him a thumbs-up. She pulled out a needle, and injected it into her arm. She said, "It's adrenaline-it's designed to stave off the pain…" Ryu replied, "I have never needed those things…but we need to go. Chun-Li may need us."
Cammy nodded, and said, "I don't know what to do with these two…but you're right about Chun-Li." Then at that, both the MI6 agent and the Shotokan warrior left the room, intent on finding their friend and escaping this nightmare…
-Street Fighter II-
Inside the control room of the underground base, Chun-Li stood facing Bison- awaiting a battle that she wasn't sure that would even happen. Bison had managed to elude capture for many years-despite leaving a trail of death and destruction wherever he went. And for Chun-Li, the mission was personal. Bison gleefully admitted to murdering her father. And now-after years of hunting and tracking him down…after hours of training and fighting…everything was coming down to this moment…
Bison, who was levitating in the air, landed with force several feet in front of Chun-Li. He brought his hands up into his fighting stance, and she in turn followed suit, using a Wing Chun stance. Bison declared, in a tone of smug superiority, " Servants and followers of Bison-leave us. I will deal with the enemy of our cause." The technicians and guardsmen who were there then headed for the exits.
Bison then looked at Chun-Li, and said, "So, my dear…care to dance?" Chun-Li dashed towards Bison, leapt into the air, and spun her leg, dropping the attack on Bison. He brought his arms up to block the attack, and pushed her into the air. She flipped in the air, and landed on her feet. Bison then warped towards her, and then appeared behind her. He tried to punch his opponent, but she sensed the movement and flipped over Bison. In midair, she turned and kicked Bison in the back of his head. Bison staggered, and turned towards Chun-Li.
Chun-Li wasn't going to let up-and she charged Bison, launching several kicks at him. Bison, with a sneer, was able to block Chun-Li's attacks. Bison then said, "Now, it's my turn!" He then hit Chun-Li with a Psycho-powered punch to her midsection, which caused her to drop to her knees. He picked her up, and holding her by her neck with his boot, swung his leg and slammed her into the ground. He then leapt into the air, and flipped upside down. He dove towards her, and hit her with a fist fueled with Psycho Power. The attack sent her flying away.
She quickly scrambled to her feet, and saw Bison flip towards her, using his 'Double Knee Press' attack. She flipped over him, and charged towards Bison. Chun-Li said, "Here I go!" She then struck Bison in his midsection with a powerful kick. She brought her leg back, and delivered another kick to Bison's face. He leg came back, and struck Bison again. She struck Bison several times with her trademark 'Hundred –Leg Kick', then as Bison staggered backwards, Chun-Li flipped upside down, split her legs, and spun in a circle striking Bison with another trademark attack-the 'Spinning Bird Kick'.
The final kick knocked Bison down-but he used his powers to warp to a standing position. He looked at Chun-Li, and said, "Impressive, detective! To see that the little girl crying at her father's funeral has turned into such a powerful warrior is indeed remarkable." Chun-Li simply looked at Bison, but didn't say anything. Bison spoke again, "I cannot understand why you warriors cling to such old fashioned concepts like 'honor'. For when I rule the world…what good will your 'honor' be?"
Chun-Li spoke, "I will never let that happen! And I will not let you escape without facing justice-not only for my father, but for all the other innocent people who have suffered at your hands!" And so, Chun-Li charged into the fray…
…and that's all for today! But never fret-for the 'final' finale is on the way! Until then, be easy!
