Lost Memories Ch.5

By Chunli

 The Hunt Begins:

*********
Several weeks later...
*********

ChunLi had progressed extraordinarily fast in her ability to chi focusing. Being a quick learner, she quickly mastered the art of meditation. ChunLi had settled down over the past few weeks, living with Masters, Eliza and Ryu. While none of her memories had returned over the past few weeks, Ken and Ryu agreed that it was for the best that it remained that way. ChunLi was happy, she was living a care-free life, she was always around people who loved her, protected her and most importantly, cared for her.

The most important fact was that ChunLi herself was able to love and care back to the people who watched over her these past few weeks. With her thirst for revenge forgotten, ChunLi had no need to re-learn her forgotten fighting techniques and she never asked anyone to teach her how to fight again. Instead, she most of her time with Ryu, going out to the movies or to the park or shopping with Eliza. If they didn't know better, ChunLi seemed like any other young girl.

"ChunLi, are you ready for your massage?" Eliza called out to ChunLi's room.

"Just a second, I can't decide which skirt to wear with this white dress shirt. Oh maybe this blue one would look nice." ChunLi replied.

Entering her room, Eliza quickly helped ChunLi find a matching blue colored skirt to go with her white dress shirt.

"Ken, we will be back in about an 2 hours." Eliza called into the house.

Elsewhere in Thailand...

"Alpha team, commence operation Bunny hunt." Bison ordered.

Having his surveillance cameras observe the Master's daily routine for several weeks, Bison was able to determine that this would be the best time to determine how hard his targets would be to acquire.

Back at the Master's estate...

Ken and Ryu had just finished their morning training exercises and were eating breakfast. All of a sudden the phone rang. Ken picked up the phone.

"Hello?" Ken said into the receiver.

"ChunLi and Eliza are in great danger." a muffled voice said before hanging up.

"Who was it?" Ryu asked.

"I don't know, the voice was muffled and he said that ChunLi and Eliza were in great danger. What do you think that meant?" Ken asked puzzled.

After thinking for a while, Ryu had the answer.

"BISON!!!!" Ryu said suddenly.

And with that both Shotokan warriors hoped that they were not too late to prevent the unthinkable...

**********
Elsewhere in a mall...
**********

ChunLi and Eliza had walked out of the beauty salon and where doing some light shopping, apparently unaware that they would soon be in deep trouble. As they walked down the mall, a group of thugs approached them and surrounded them.

"Hello ladies, want to party tonight?" One of them asked.

"Umm excuse me, but we are busy tonight." Eliza said. ChunLi was simply speechless as she hid behind Eliza, trembling in fear.

"Oh well, that's too bad, cause we ain't taking no for an answer." as the group started to approach the two girls. Reaching into her purse, Eliza pulled out her pepper spray and blinded 3 of the thugs, and ran right through them, pulling a terrified ChunLi as they ran down the mall. Running into a thick crowd, ChunLi and Eliza were forcibly separated as the shear number of consumers tore them apart. Scare and lost by herself, ChunLi looked around for Eliza only to find a few of the thugs chasing after her. Running randomly, she managed to get out of the mall and ran down an alleyway.

***********
Back in the mall...
***********

Searching frantically for ChunLi, Eliza was dismayed to find that those thugs had spotted her again and were on her tail. Running towards the nearest exit, she bumped into a tall blonde man that wrapped his arms her. Struggling to get free she frantically kick at her assailant.

"ELIZA, ELIZA, its me, Ken."

Looking up she was relieved to find Ken there, holding onto her.

"Those goons over there were trying to assault us. I don't know where ChunLi is, but they may already have her. Please help her." Eliza said pointing to the thugs approaching them.

"Ryu, go find ChunLi now, I will take care of these punks." Ken instructed.

Nodding in agreement, Ryu dashed towards the crowd hoping to find that his ChunLi was alright.

"Alright you rejects, lets dance...." Ken said as he entered into his fighting stance...

***********
Outside the mall...
***********

ChunLi had taken a wrong turn and had ended up at a dead end. Behind her, 3 thugs approached her slowly, grinning.

"Please don't hurt me." ChunLi said as she backed up against a nearby wall.

"So this is the strongest woman in the world, you don't looks so strong. You do look hot though and tonight we are gonna give you a night you will never forget." One of them said.

ChunLi wrapped her arms around her and tried to defend herself only to have her two arms held back against the wall. She was trapped, she had nowhere to go. She stated to cry.

"Oh, why are you crying now? You don't want us to rip up your clothes? Oh don't worry, we will help take them off." One of the thugs said with a nasty grin as he proceed to unbutton ChunLi's dress shirt...
