By Chunli

 A life without vengeance:

Within a few hours, they arrived at the US international airport. Eliza was waiting there for them as Ken had contacted her several hours before. Upon seeing her boyfriend she immediately dashed towards him and gave him a warm hug.

"Hi Ken, where have you been all this time? I missed you." Eliza said, kissing Ken on the lips.

"Hello ChunLi, hello Ryu, its nice meeting you again." Eliza greeted the rest of the group.

"Uh hello. You must be Eliza, you sure are very pretty. Nice to meet you too." ChunLi bowed in respect.

"ChunLi, what's wrong? You look like you don't remember who I am. Did something happen to you?" Eliza asked with deep concern.

Ken whispered a few words within Eliza's ear to keep her updated to the situation.

"Oh dear! That's terrible, are you okay now ChunLi, are you feeling okay?" Eliza asked after hearing her story.

"These two gentlemen have been taking very good care of me. Thank you for your concern." ChunLi replied politely

"Wow, it must have been boring sitting in that plane with those two for such a long time. Say, ChunLi, I know what will make up for the long wait on the plane. C'mon, follow me." Eliza said, grabbing ChunLi's arm and leading her to the Master's limo.

"Um Eliza, you're not going shopping are you?" Ken asked while trembling in fear.

"Oh how well you know me." Eliza replied with a smile.

"Uh, I just remembered, I have a meeting to att....." Ken began.

"Oh no you don't Ken, I have your Porsche's keys and your wallet. You're coming with us." Eliza replied with an evil grin.

"WHAT?!?! Hey how did you get my wallet?" Ken asked in surprise after confirming that indeed his wallet was stolen.

"Hehe, I called the flight attendant and told her to relieve your wallet into my custody." Eliza replied with a wink.

"Ryu, I hope you in for one heck of a training session" Ken moaned to his friend as they followed the two girls into the limo.

After literally raiding thought all the shops in the biggest mall in town, Eliza had broken her last shopping spree record. Most a lot of the new dresses that she had bought was mainly for ChunLi, who seemed to be having quite some fun trying on new dresses, shoes, make up and just whatever else interested her. Ken and Ryu were less fortunate as they ended up carrying all of ChunLi and Eliza's shopping bags. Carrying more than 3 times their own weight, they labored slowly behind the two girls.

"Wow, I never knew Eliza had such endurance." Ryu commented, running out of stamina.

"Well, you can thank ChunLi for that, normally she would only buy 1/4th of the stuff she bought today, but now that ChunLi's here, its an all girl's shopping raid. I think the stores today will have to re-stock immediately if they intend to do business tomorrow." Ken moaned.

"You two boys look like you need a break, you want to wait there by the bench while I go get ChunLi's some new skirt?" Eliza called back.

"Okay, just take your time." Ken called out.

After sitting down on a nearby bench, Ken and Ryu took a much needed break.

"You know Ken, I have never seen ChunLi like this before. Seeing her smile, having fun and socializing." Ryu said, looking at the girl he cared deeply about trying on a new dress.

"I guess at heart, all ChunLi ever wanted was just to be a normal girl. Now that she has forgotten everything, she must have been set free from all those years or hatred and anger. Rather ironic, the very person she hunted all these years ends up releasing her from own suffering." Ken replied.

"Ken, sooner or later, she will remember the past and revert back to her old life, consumed with vengeance, hatred and anger. Then when she finally had the chance to kill Bison, she couldn't will herself to strike. She couldn't live with blood on her hands. I don't know what to do Ken, if she remembers the past, she will definitely remember how she was unable to strike down Bison. This will with no doubt affect her emotionally. I want her to live a life of happiness and joy, like she the way she is now, loved, protected and happy. I don't want her to fall back to her original life style, lonely, and filled with hate." Ryu continued.

"Well, if she does remember the past, she will no doubt remember these present experiences she is experiencing right now. Ryu, trust me, she is now experiencing more happiness than she would ever know, you just be there for her whenever she needs you and she will be fine." Ken replied.

A few moments later, the two girls emerged from the store and continued their shopping spree. After about another hour of shopping, the two girls decided to hit the food court for something to eat. After all, 4 hours of continuous shopping can be a bit tiring.

"So what do you want to get ChunLi?" Eliza asked.

"Ice cream!" ChunLi replied with a smile.

"Hmm, I didn't know you liked ice cream. Say ChunLi, do you remember anything about the past?" Eliza asked.

"Hmm, not really, I can't really remember anything." ChunLi replied.

"Oh my, so you don't even remember your fighting techniques?" Eliza asked with surprise.

"I knew how to fight?" ChunLi asked.

"Yup, you claimed the title of the strongest woman in the world." Eliza replied with a smile.

"Wow! I must have been really amazing. I sure wish I still remembered how to fight, how to take care of myself, then I wouldn't be such a burden to you all." ChunLi replied sadly.

"Don't worry, we don't mind at all. We just want you to be happy. C'mon, there is still more stores I have to show you, after this we can go get a manicure and massage. By the end of the day, you will feel like a totally new person." Eliza replied.

Deep within Bison's stronghold, Bison was intently watching over the video captured by a surveillance robot.

"Interesting, so Miss Xiang has lost her memories and her fighting abilities, this might prove more interesting than I initially thought. However, she could be faking it." Bison commented.

"Alpha squad head out to the United States and search for someone by the name of Ken Masters." Bison ordered over his intercom.

Rewinding the video again, he watched over ChunLi's image being pinned on the ground. He smiled as some thoughts entered his minds.

"Oh yes she will be fun indeed. Muwahahahahahahahahahahaha..." Bison echoed.
