Chapter 13

Many who fight do so for glory…some fight for riches…some fight to better themselves. But for Chun-Li, the reason she fought was to bring the man who murdered her father to justice. And now, that man stood in front of her. Clad in crimson, Bison was the supreme commander of Shadaloo, a criminal syndicate. And now-for her father, as well as herself- she was going to defeat Bison…no matter what it took…

…and so, she charged towards Bison, determined to deliver justice. Bison was waiting, and threw a punch towards Chun-Li. She brought her hands up to block, and countered the attack with a roundhouse kick towards Bison's midsection. Bison blocked the attack, and attacked with a kick. Chun-Li saw this, and blocked Bison's kick by bringing her leg up. She then quickly kicked at Bison three times, but he used his forearm to block the attack.

Chun-Li then decided to do something else-so she performed a back flip to create distance. She thrust out her palm, and fired a ball of energy towards Bison. He brought his hand up, and a purple shield surrounded his body. The energy ball hit the shield and dissipated. Bison then taunted, "You'll have to do better than that, detective!" Bison then raised his hands, and as he did, they began to glow an eerie shade of purple. He then launched himself towards Chun-Li, striking her and sending her flying into a wall.

He turned, and launched himself again, slamming into Chun-Li while she was pressed against the wall. She cried out, as the attack did damage to her already injured ribs. She slumped to the ground, clutching her sides. Bison warped in front of her, and grabbed her by her dress. He picked her up, so that she was facing him. He sneered, "And to think…you were going to avenge your father…" Chun-Li, despite the pain, screamed, "I warned you…don't talk about my father!"

He threw he across the room by her dress top, and said, "Well, how about a little trip down memory lane?" Chun-Li stood up, and said, "What do you mean?" Bison grinned-an evil, sadistic smirk-and said, "That night…I was the person who called your father. The informant was all a ruse…and he arrived at our meeting place. It was a construction site…and while your father may have been a skilled fighter and cop, he still was no match for me. And I enjoyed the punishment I inflicted on him." Chun-Li, with tears running down her face, said, "Stop it! Don't say anymore!"

Bison, still with the sadistic grin, said, "And what was even better than the torture-I held him by his neck on the fifteenth floor of that building. And to see the terror on his face when I let him fall! My little… Li-Li…there have been many who have died at my hands. But your father's murder…was exquisite." Chun-Li looked at Bison-here, he was no man. Here was a monster who derived pleasure from murder…And despite the pain, she looked at Bison and said, "Well, then. I have a story for you, Bison. There was a little girl who one night in fall watched her father leave for work. The next time she saw him…was in the morgue. And on the grave of this man, that girl made a promise. And she promised to her father that no matter how long it took, the man who murdered her father would be brought to justice."

Bison, yawning with disinterest, said, "And your point?" Chun-Li said, "That girl was me. And that was my father! And no matter what, I will beat you!" Those are brave words…but with those injured ribs, this isn't going to be easy…Bison then floated towards her, his hands and body radiating the deadly Psycho Power energy. Bison held out his hands, and his Psycho Power gripped Chun-Li, preventing her from moving.

Meanwhile, Cammy and Ryu had made their way to the control room-where they witnessed the battle between Chun-Li and Bison. Cammy saw that Chun-Li was in trouble, and she said,"Ryu-we need to get down there and help her!" But as Cammy headed towards the floor, Ryu grabbed her arm. He simply said in a firm tone, "No. We cannot help her."

Cammy looked at Ryu with wide-eyes, and said, "Not help her? What kind of friends would we be to not help her?" Ryu said, "This is Chun-Li's personal battle. I went through this when I fought Akuma. Bison is her mountain to climb-so only she can defeat Bison." Cammy said, "I hope you know what you are talking about." Ryu replied, "We must show her our support."

Chun-Li, still suspended in the air by Bison's Psycho Power, looked behind her and saw Ryu and Cammy. Bison noticed her gaze, and turned to see the two fighters there. He then said, "Ah, an audience!" Chun-Li saw them, and struggled even harder to free herself. Ryu, watching, silently said, C'Mon, Chun-Li…I know you can win! Chun-Li brought her hands up, closed her eyes, and said to herself Daddy! Help me, daddy! Then, through the darkness, she heard a voice…Chun-Li…no matter what…I love you…and will always be proud of you…

Her eyes opened, and held her hands out. Bison looked at the gesture-as Chun-Li summoned her chi to her hands. A small sphere of energy formed, and struck Bison several times. His Psycho-Powered grip loosened, and Chun-Li landed on the floor. Bison dropped down, and said, "How did you break my Psycho Power?" Chun-Li didn't answer, but instead, she charged at him, firing several kicks. The kicks broke through Bison's defense, and he was hit several times, Chun-Li then did a handstand, and pushed herself into the air. In the air, she flipped forward and slammed her leg onto Bison. The attack drove him to the ground.

Chun-Li wasn't finished-she then dashed forward, and kicked Bison several times. She then spun, and kicked him with her other leg. Then, with one final spin, he delivered a powerful kick that launched Bison into the air. The crime lord crashed to the ground, but quickly rose to his feet. He looked at Chun-Li with contempt, and said, "This is not possible! You ARE NOT better than I am!" Chun-Li dashed towards him, and thrust her palms into his midsection. She said, "TODAY, I AM! KIIII-KOOOO-SHOOOOO!" And with that-a massive sphere of energy surrounded Chun-Li, and the waves of energy struck Bison several times. The force of the attack sent Bison into the large primary screen of the control room.

There was an explosion, and Bison's Psycho Power and the electricity of the system reacted. Several thousands volts of electricity entered Bison's body, electrocuting the crime lord. Chun-Li had covered her eyes when the explosion happened. After the fireworks, Chun-Li looked towards Bison-and she saw he wasn't moving. She slowly walked towards him, carefully looking for any signs of life. She got closer, and as she did, Bison sat up, with his hands outstretched towards Chun-Li. She backed up in shock, and watched as Bison fell to the ground. It's over…the nightmare is over!

Cammy and Ryu ran over to where Chun-Li was, and Cammy said, "Woo-hoo! You did it, girl!" She grabbed Chun-Li in a hug, and Chun-Li, while happy, grimaced and said, "Cammy-I think those are still broken…" Cammy then let her down, and said, "Oh…well, sorry about that love. But we've won! We took down Shadaloo and you beat Bison…so that's cause to celebrate." Chun-Li replied, "You are right. And right now, there's only one person who I want to celebrate with."

Chun-Li walked up to Ryu, who was looking away. As she came up to him, he softly said, "Are you alright?" She said., "Yeah, I am." He then said, "I'm don't know what to say…" She then kissed him, and replied, "You don't have to say anything. I love you, too." He kissed Chun-Li back, and as they kissed, Cammy said, "You two should get a room…"

At that, her communicator crackled, and Colonel Guile said, "Cammy-are you alright? What's your status?" Cammy replied, "Colonel, status good. And our target-" Guile said, "Yes? What of Bison?" Cammy replied, "Eliminated with extreme prejudice." Guile then said, "And what of Ryu and Chun-Li?" Cammy looked towards the couple, who were still kissing, and said, "I don't think we need to worry about them, sir. Now I'd like a pickup…" Guile replied, "On the way, Major."

And so, the adventure ends…but there's still more to come involving the main man of Capcom and his leading lady! Following up-the romantic resolution with Ryu and Chun-Li!
