Lost Memories "Alpha" Chapter 21: The damsel in distress.
By ChunLiKasumi

Guy and Maki didn't speak with each other the very next day while everyone was having breakfast.

"...so then Ryu here makes like a monkey and blazes up a tree screaming 'A SPIDER, KEN KILL IT! KILL IT!'. After I squaush it, Ryu then realizes that he is afraid of heights and startes screaming 'KEN GET ME DOWN FROM HERE'. Well, the tree could hold Ryu couldn't hold on forever, so the branch he is holding on snaps and he falls and lands on his rear end near the squashed spider. After the stars stop spinning, he sees the dead spider, screams 'A DEAD SPIDER' and blazes up the tree again only to fall down again moments later when another branch snapped, causing him to land on his rear end again. He couldn't even sit down for weeks. HAHAHAHAHA!" Ken said, laughing at his friend.

ChunLi and Eliza giggled as Ryu's face turned an odd shade of red.

"Anyways, its been a long time since Ken lived in the wilderness, so we have decided to get away from the city life for the next few days and go camping. No cell phones ringing, no cars honking, just peace and quite. We leave today." Ryu spoke up, quickly changing the subject.

"But who will look after us when we go to the mall? Those thugs that attacked us the last time will surely be there again. Helpless, little ChunLi here almost got raped the last time if Ryu didn't save her when he did." Eliza asked

"Don't worry, everything will be fine, Guy here will look after you two, right Guy?" Ken asked, looking at Guy who wasn't paying attention.

"...right Guy?" Ken asked again while nudging Guy in the ribs.

"Uhh, right..." Guy responded, having no idea what they were talking about.

"Don't be gone too long Ryu, I will miss you." ChunLi told Ryu.

Later that day....

Ken and Ryu had packed up their bags and left for the woods. Eliza and ChunLi had decided to go shopping whereas Guy and Maki still sat in the kitchen, refusing to speak to each other for several hours until Guy finally broke silence.

"Are you still mad?" Guy asked.

"Me, mad at an unsensitive guy like you? Hah." Maki replied.

"Me, unsensitive? At least I don't go to la la land whenever I go shopping. Everytime we go to the mall, we end up raiding more half the store there." Guy replied.

"Look, we didn't even have to be in the mall yesterday if you had bought me the right brand of perfume. Don't you have any common sense?" Maki asked.

"You should be the las.." was all Guy could say before Eliza burst into the house.

"HELP, CHUNLI'S BEEN KIDNAPPED" Eliza shouted.

Guy and Maki instantly forgot about their arguement and turned their attention to Eliza.

"What do you mean? What happened?" Guy asked.

"I don't know, we were in the beauty salon, ChunLi said that she wanted to go buy some skirts in the next shop and asked me to wait for her while I was brousing. I wait for an hour and she never came back. I went to the next shop and the store owner said that he never saw her. I didn't know what to do." Eliza said as she buried her face in her hands and started to cry.

"Let's call Ken and Ryu." Guy suggested.

"We can't, Ken left his cell phone behind, there is no way to contact them." Eliza replied.

"Lets call the police." Maki suggested, reaching for the phone. All of a sudden the phone rang before Maki reached the receiver. Everyone froze. Guy picked up the receiver.

"We have the girl, meet us at the abandoned warehouse located at pier 36. It will take you exactly 55 minutes to reach it from your location. Don't call the police or we will kill her." a muffled voice instructed before hanging up the phone.

"Who was it?" Eliza asked.

"It was them, they wanted to meet us and told us not to call the cops." Guy said.

30 minutes later....

Eliza was driving to pier, Guy and Maki were hiding in the trunk.

"Are you sure this is going to work?" Eliza asked.

"Yes trust me." Guy said and with that he closed the backseat and hid in the trunk with Maki.

30 minutes later....

Eliza pulled up in front of the abandoned warehouse. A man waved her inside.

A few moments later, the trunk door opened up. Guy and Maki snuck out of the trunk climbed up the fire escape onto the roof and snuck in through an open air shaft. They came out of the shaft and stood on the second floor. Below, there was a lamp illuminated the area. ChunLi was bound to a chair. Her clothing had been ripped in several places and she was crying. There was a man dressed in back and completely covered up standing guard beside her. Another man dressed in black and completely covered up led Eliza to ChunLi.

"OH MY GOD WHAT HAVE THEY DONE TO YOU CHUNLI?" Eliza screamed in terror.

"Nothing yet, but we were about to have some fun with her when we thought that you wouldn't show up." One of the men replied.

Guy and Maki observed their surroundings.

"Ok Maki, you see that bucket above them, go drop it on them, that will cause a distraction allowing me to drop in turn off the lights, I should have no problems fighting them in the dark." Guy instructed.

"No you idiot, you might hit Eliza or ChunLi, lets both go above them and get the surprise drop on them. They won't be expecting it. Use some common sense." Maki replied.

"Common sense? You listen here, for someone who seasons CD players, you should be the last one to talk about common sense." Guy replied and thus the two started arguing again.

Meanwhile down below.

"What do you want?" Eliza asked.

"Well, initially we wanted Ken and his friend with the hairband to show up. We have an old score to settle with him. But since he was too chicken to show up and sent his girlfriend instead, well, I guess we should have some fun with both of you. MUWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!" One of them replied as they started to advance towards Eliza.

'Where is Guy and Maki? Oh no, they must be arguing' Eliza thought.

"NO STAY AWAY FROM ME, DON'T TOUCH ME, HHHEEEELLLLLLPPPPPPPPPP!!!!!!!!" Eliza screamed.

Eliza's screams snapped Guy and Maki back into reality. They both jumped down to the ground floor. Without warning, Guy dashed forward with near inhuman speed.

"Hayagake"

Suddenly Guy stuck out his foot and slid across the floor.

"KageSukui"

Both men in black (The MIB =)), leapt over Guy and flipped to the other side of the room. Guy and Maki quickly rushed in front of ChunLi, who was still crying. Eliza rushed behind them and untie ChunLi, who was still crying.

"So, it seems that we have a little tag team battle here. Lets see how well you can fight." one of the MIB said.

"Eliza, take ChunLi to a sahdy spot" Guy instructed.

MIB #1 dashed forward towards Guy. Guy leapt forward and started to spin upward with his foot extended.

"Bushin Senpuu Kyaku"

Much to Guy's dismay, the MIB #1 rolled under him before his foot made contact. The MIB #1 regained his balance, spun around, leapt into the air and hit Guy multiple times with his own spin kick as Guy tried to land.

Maki rushed MIB #2 with a kick to the ribs, followed by a two punches to the stomach before jumping up and executing a roundhouse aimed at MIB #2's temple. MIB #2 blocked the first kick, dodge the two punches and ducked under roundhouse. He then grabbed Maki by the neck as she recovered from her previous move, lifted her from the ground and rentlessly punched her stomach as she tried to have get free from MIB #2's grip.

Guy had recovered from MIB #1's attack, cartwheeled backwards and dashed forward again.

"Hayagake"

Guy then jumped into the air and executed a spin kick.

"Kubikari"

MIB #2 threw Maki in the way of Guy's kick. Seeing Maki in the way, Guy attempted to abort the kick only to lose his balance and fall on top of Maki.

"What the heck are you doing? Stay out of my way." Guy yelled.

"What do you mean stay out of your way, you're in my way." Maki yelled back in return and thus they started arguing again.

MIB #1 and #2 stood together. MIB #2 muttered something to MIB#1.

"OK...." MIB #1 said a loud.

Cupping their hands to their sides, a tremendous blue light lit up in their hands as they both hurled a pair of massive projectiles at the arguing pair.

"SHINKUU HADOKEN"

"Hadoken"

The projectiles slammed into Guy and Maki, sending them flying across the floor. When the smoke cleared. Guy was barely concious. Maki was out cold. Guy could see one of the MIB finding Eliza and ChunLi, who were both screaming and crying and tying them both up before completely passing out.....
