	Chun-li looked out the window on the plane she was on.
The passing clouds were white and fluffy. The sky was a light,
cheerful blue.
	Chun-li stifled the urge to throw up. ~I hate planes. I
hate planes. IhateplanesIhateplanes.~ She thought over and over
again to herself. ~Please tell me we're landing soon. 
Pleasepleasepleasepleaseplease!!~
	This was the second plane she had taken in the space of
a week. The first plane went from Britain to New York. As soon
as the plane landed, she was told to get back on it and go to
Thailand. One of their field agents, John Koaw, apparently had
some interesting news. 
	Chun-li managed to soothe her dizziness with visions of
what she was going to do to Bison as soon as she found him.
	The seat belt light came on and a stewardess's voice
came over the intercom.
	"Passengers, please put on your seat belts. We will be
landing in Bangkok in about 5 minutes. Put on your seat belts
please."
	Chun-li took a deep breathe. ~Thankyouthankyouthankyou.~

	Cammy stifled the urge to throw up. In front of her sat
Vega, who was calmly chewing a piece of... something.
	Cammy looked down at her own dish, which was like Vega's,
only it hadn't been eaten yet. She picked up her chopsticks, and
poked at the brown mess sitting before her. She could have sworn
that it squirmed and moved to another part of her dish as she
poked it.
	Cammy took a deep breathe. ~This is Vega's doing.~ She
told herself. ~He's trying to unnerve me.~ 
	Cammy looked Vega right in the eyes, and grit her teeth
as he popped another piece of something into his mouth. Cammy
picked up her glass of tea, and quickly downed it to keep bile
from coming up.
	"Is there a problem, Cammy dear?"
	Cammy glared at Vega as best she could while fighting
down bile. "I've entertained you long enough, Vega. Take me
to Bison. Now."
	Vega grinned. "My, my! Aren't we pushy!"
	Cammy had had enough. She jumped to her feet, and 
pounded her fists on the table, carefully controlling her strength
to avoid breaking the table. "NOW, Vega!"
	Vega smiled. "Sit down, Cammy. We'll be going soon.
Very soon, in fact."
	Cammy grit her teeth, before forcing herself to sit
down. She breathe heavily. A trickle of sweat ran down her
brow. Cammy ignored it, convincing herself that it was just the
scorching heat. She looked up at Vega, who still managed to
look comfortable while wearing a suit.
	"Are you getting warm Cammy?" Vega asked when he noticed
Cammy perspiring heavily.
	Cammy didn't answer. She poured another cup of tea into
her cup and downed it. Then, she looked at her cup and blinked.
	~The tea leaves...~ Cammy thought to herself, fear 
entering her system. ~They're... bubbling!~ Suddenly, Cammy
realized why she was getting so hot: she was drugged.
	Cammy snapped her head up and stared at Vega accusingly.
"You-!!"
	Vega smiled. "You were right, Cammy dear. You should
have starved yourself rather than eat in my company. But don't
worry. That poison isn't going to kill you. You're just... going
to sleep for a little bit."
	Cammy felt herself get drowsy even as Vega spoke. She
sat back, breathing deeply. "You sonof..."
	"Don't curse me," Vega sniffed. "It was Master Bison's
idea. Don't ask me WHY he got me to go to all this trouble with
getting you drugged. I would have rather knocked you out and
carrying you to him."
	"You..." Cammy couldn't complete her sentence as she
closed her eyes, and fell asleep.
	Vega looked at the girl without expression. He looked
around the restaurant, and noted that all of the other customers,
waiters, everyone had conveniently left the room.
	Vega got to his feet, and took his suit jacket off. He
walked over to Cammy and took the hat off her head. Her blonde
hair came tumbling out. Vega hoisted the sleeping girl a foot
into the air by her hair.
	He put the jacket on her shoulders and put her arms into
the arms of the jacket. Then, he put his hand into the jacket
pocket, and pulled out a little black square about the size of
his hand with many buttons on it.
	Vega pushed a button, and suddenly two metal poles with a
combined diameter of a few millimeters came out of the bottom of
the jacket. Turning Cammy around, Vega lifted her up higher, and
hooked the polls into Cammy's shoes.
	When that was done, Vega put Cammy down. The metal poles
forced Cammy to keep standing. Vega pushed another button, and
one of the jacket arms moved up, carrying Cammy's arm with it.
	Vega pushed a few more buttons, and Cammy was forced to
awkwardly walked a few steps. 
	Finally, Vega gave a smile of satisfaction.

*****************************************************************

	Stick was drumming his fingers on a table, completely
bored. Shorty was humming to himself softly while Bull kept
walking back and forth.
	Finally, the big giant gave a growl, and slammed his fist
down on a table.
	"I don't believe this!" Bull growled. "We've been in
Burma for a week, and we haven't seen any trace of Cammy at all!"
	"I told you Cammy could be invisible if she wanted to
be," Shorty grumbled.
	"Shut up, you two." Stick said. "Smiles is gonna come
with some new info any minute now so maybe we'll be able to-"
	Stick was cut off when Smiles came into the room. She
looked outside, then closed the door, locking it. She sat at 
the table, and beckoned her team mates to come closer.
	"Okay guys, here's what's been happening." She said in
a bare whisper. "I've been... lying to you guys."
	"WHAT?!" Bull roared.
	"SHH!!" Smiles hissed. "Listen, I have a good reason.
Cammy isn't in Burma. She probably slipped across the border to
Thailand days ago!"
	"Thailand?" Bull asked.
	Smiles nodded. "Why would Cammy come to Burma? There
isn't anything here she could possibly want. She probably just
ditched Buzz here so we wouldn't catch on to her."
	"Why Thailand?" Shorty asked.
	"Bison," Smiles answered. "For some reason, Cammy has
got it into her head that she has to go see Bison, no matter
what. I have no idea WHY she wants to go see that monster, but
I don't doubt her."
	"If she's in Thailand, why are we in Burma?" Stick
asked.
	"This is the part I want to apologize for," Smiles
said. "I've known for some time, that Cammy was going to see
Bison. I don't know WHY, but it HAS to be for a good reason.
So I've been buying her time. If we find her, before she can
do what she came to do, she'll only keep running off until
she completes the job. So I'm sorry I've been keeping you guys
in the dark." Smiles apologized.
	"It's... alright," Bull said. "You did it for Cammy's
sake. But if you ever do it again..." Bull trailed off, but
the glint in his eyes told Smiles never to keep the big guy
in the dark again.
	"Why did you tell us now?" Stick asked.
	"The Burmese government is positive that Cammy has
left the country." Smiles said. "One of their people on vacation
thought they saw someone that could have been Cammy talking to
someone who looked like Vega."
	"THE Vega?!" Shorty asked.
	Smiles nodded. "That's why we're moving out to 
Thailand.  They think Cammy might be part of Bison's little
gang."
	"That's bull," Stick snarled.
	"I agree," Bull agreed, "but they don't know that."
	Smiles sighed. "We have to go NOW. I hope we gave
Cammy enough time for her to do whatever it is she wants to
do."

*****************************************************************

	Chun-li looked at the now famous plaza where Cammy had
fought Bison. She noted with mild interest that someone had 
repaired one of the broken statues. 
	She was just looking around, when a local man came up to
her and tapped her on the shoulder.
	Chun-li turned. "Can I help you?" She asked in the best
local language she could manage.
	The man smiled before speaking in perfect English. "Are
you Chun-li Zhang with Interpol?"
	Chun-li's brows drew together sharply. "You are John
Koaw?"
	John nodded. "Yes."
	"What can you tell me?" Chun-li asked.
	John looked around suspiciously before speaking in a
very low tone of voice. "Are you aware that the World Champion
is in Thailand?"
	"World Champion?" Chun-li asked, an eyebrow cocked. "You
mean, Cammy White is here?"
	John nodded. "Well, I think it was her. She was dressed
like a tourist though. She was just looking around, when this
man came up to her. They talked, and she didn't seem very happy
with something, but then they walked away in that direction."
	"Who is this man?" Chun-li asked.
	John looked around again, before speaking so softly,
Chun-li almost couldn't hear him. "Vega."
	A look of surprised was plastered on Chun-li's face.
"Vega?" She whispered.
	John nodded. "Where Vega is, Bison is near." He said.
	"Where did they go?" Chun-li asked.
	"In that direction." John said, pointing.
	Chun-li looked in the direction, before looking back at
John. "Thank you." She said, before walking in the direction
John had pointed in.

*****************************************************************

	Chun-li followed the direction of some shop owners and
rounding a corner to a restaurant. She instantly jumped right back
around the corner at the sight she saw.
	She only let an eye around the corner to see what was
going on.
	A man with brown hair in a braid was walking out of a
restaurant. He was holding the hand of a girl with long blonde
hair that fell to her knees. The girl was wearing the jacket
portion of the suit the man had on.
	The girl walked awkwardly, her knees not really bending.
	"Come dear," the man said. "Your knees are acting up 
again. Let's get you home dear." 
	The man lead the woman to the side of the road, and
seemed to be waiting for a vehicle of some sort to pick them
up.
	Chun-li's eyes narrowed. She recognized the man to be
Vega, the famed cage fighter, and the long blonde hair was a
dead giveaway as Cammy.
	Chun-li looked down at one of her spiked bracelets, and
gently fingered one of the spikes. She gave a sharp tug, and
the spike came out into her fingers. Chun-li looked at the
spike, and looked back up at Cammy and Vega.
	Taking aim, Chun-li threw the spike at the two, and
the spike hit the back of Cammy's neck. The spike clung to
the long hair and as the girl took another awkward step, it
disappeared into the sea of blonde.
	Just then, a jeep came around another corner and
stopped in front of Vega and Cammy. The driver jumped out of
the car and helped Vega lay Cammy into the back seat before
the two men got in the front seats. Then, the jeep drove 
away.
	Chun-li watched the jeep drive away, before she reached
into a pocket, and pulled out a small tracking device.
	"Gotcha," Chun-li whispered softly.

*****************************************************************

	Cammy gave a groan, and opened her eyes. She had to
blink a couple of times before her eyes could adjust to the 
lighting.
	She winced as she turned her head. A throbbing was just
going crazy in her head. She gave another groan before ever so
slowly and cautiously sitting up.
	Cammy took a deep breathe, her hand supporting her 
temple. She looked around and saw that she was in a small, square
room where the walls were made of metal, and there were no 
windows.
	A vague sense of familiarity washed over Cammy, but
was promptly chased away by her headache.
	Looking down, Cammy saw that she had been lying in a
bed, on top of a blanket.
	Cammy squinted groaned once more before looking up and
seeing her bag sitting on the floor some ways away from the
bed.
	Cammy got off the bed and went over to the bag. She
opened it and looked inside. As she had suspected, someone had
gone through it as her things had been moved around a bit.
	She frowned when she saw that someone had looked through
all the weapons, but decided that they didn't pose enough of
a threat to be taken away from her. Even the phone/lie detector
she had taken from Bond was left, and intact.
	~Cocky bastards...~
	Cammy's frown deepened when she dug through and realized
that her green body suit, her red barette, combat boots and 
gloves had been taken out. She looked around, and those things
lying on a chair, on top of a red robe, with a note on it.
	Cammy made her way to the chair, and picked up the
note, reading it. She couldn't remember ever seeing the writing
before, but instantly, she recognized the handwriting as Bison's.
	
	'I will see you when you are in proper attire
	for my court.'

	Cammy stared at the notes for a few seconds and wondered
if she should comply. She only stared for a few seconds, before
she crumpled the note, and picked up her bodysuit.

*****************************************************************

	"I don't understand."
	"What now, Balrog?"  Vega asked, annoyed. He was in his
usual clothes, his mask beside him. He was toying with his claw.
	"We should have taken her weapons."
	Vega sneered. "Why bother? She only had a dagger, a gun,
and a few bullets. Those things aren't threats to us."
	"We should have taken her phone at least. What if she
calls for help?"
	"She won't," Vega assured. "Master Bison KNOWS Cammy.
She either won't, or CAN'T phone for help."
	Balrog paused a second, seemingly satisfied with the
answers, before another one came to his mind. "There should 
have been a camera in that room."
	"Why?!" Vega asked, patience lost. "She can't do
anything! Those walls are solid steel, two feet wide! She can't
get out unless we open the door for her! Even if she THOUGHT
to go for the door, she won't be able to see it. That migraine
I gave her won't help her any, either. She's helpless, Balrog."
	"I still think there outta be a camera in there."
	Vega laughed. "You probably just want to see her
change!"
	Balrog grinned. "Well..."
	"Enough, you two!" Another voice growled.
	Both Vega and Balrog looked up, startled for a 
moment. Then, Vega relaxed. "Sagat. It's only you."
	"You should be GLAD it's only me," Sagat growled. "If
Lord Bison hears you talking about HIS woman in THAT tone of
voice..."
	"HIS woman?" Vega asked, "please. THAT was over years
ago."
	"Jealous, Vega?" Sagat asked, smug.
	Vega didn't answer. He looked in the other direction,
anger flashing across his face.
	"I thought so."
	"Shut up," Vega shouted. "I am the most beautiful
creature on this Earth! My beauty can get me ANY woman on this
earth I desire."
	"You keep thinking that," Sagat replied, "you can get
ANY woman you want, EXCEPT Cammy. Keep your claw off her, Vega.
She belongs to Bison."
	"We'll see," Vega said softly to himself. "We'll see."

*****************************************************************

	After donning her official fighting attire, Cammy looked
through her bags for some elastic bands and a comb. Finding them,
she sat down on her bed, and ran the comb through her hair.
	She winced when something snagged in her hair. Cursing
softly, Cammy reached back to her neck, and pulled out a little
silver thing. 
	It looked familiar to her, and Cammy tried to place it.
	Suddenly, it hit her, when Cammy put it on her wrist.
	~This is one of the spikes on Chun-li's bracelet!~ Cammy
thought to herself. ~But how...~
	Cammy was confused for a few seconds, but she decided
that the discovery of the spike was a good thing. She put it
on the bed beside her, finished doing her hair, and put the
barrette on. Then, she transferred the spike into her barrette to
keep it safe.
	Cammy went over to her bag. She took out her dagger,
and loaded her gun. She strapped both the weapons onto her thighs.
Then, she looked at the lie detector, before she clipped it
on to her wrist. Then, she looked over at the chair, where a
heavy, red cloak lay.
	A few images flittered through her mind as she looked
at it, and she moved closer to it. Cammy fingered the familiar
fabric, and lifted it up to look closely at it.
	Proper attire for my court...~ Cammy recited to 
herself.
	Acting on a hunch, Cammy twirled the cloak and let
it settle on her shoulders. The heavy cloak swirled at her
toes, precisely her height, before coming still and the hood
rested on her head.
	~So familiar...~
	Suddenly, there was a humming sound, and Cammy swung
in the direction of the noise. A part of the wall slid upward,
revealing a doorway.
	A crooked old man stood in the light, studying Cammy
for a moment.
	"Who are you?" Cammy demanded.
	"Cammy1." Said the old man. He looked her up and down,
a satisfied smile on his face. "You seemed to have faired
rather well in the outside world. Surprising. I didn't think
you'd last a week without my assistance. It's nice to know my
creations can adapt to well. You did so well, in fact, you even
managed to defeat Master Bison himself! Surprising!"
	Cammy's eyes narrowed. ~Cammy1?~ She thought to herself.
~Why does that sound so...~
	"Lord Bison is in his throne room," the old man said.
"You are to come with me to him. There, he will answer the
questions you have." He stepped back out of the room, and
motioned to his left. "This way."
	Cammy paused for a second, before following the old
man. 
	~Here we go...~
