Chun-Li and Liz walked through the door at a massage parlor that Liz heard "Was so good, you'd want to sink through the entire earth." "Yes, may I help you?" A man asked greeting them. "This is Liz Fairchild with a friend," Liz replied.

"Oh yes, Mrs. Fairchild, we have your station ready. I also see you want the works for you and your friend." Liz nodded, "Yeah, we both are in need for some anti-stress." The man nodded and motioned them to follow him. Liz and Chun-Li followed. "What are the works?" "Oh, just your average massage, facial-" Chun-Li saw a woman walking out of a room that had old fashioned western style bathtubs filled with mud. "-Mud baths?" Chun-Li asked eyes widening, "I came here to get dirty?" Liz laughed, "Oh come on. You'll feel like a whole new person once this place is through with you."

About an hour later Chun-Li and Liz were sitting in a box-like heate w/ their heads sticking out of a little hole in the top. Liz closed her eyes with a green mask on her face and cucumbers over her eye lids. Chun-Li attempted to sit still but the cucumbers slowly slid off her face and her mask was melting because of the heat coming off of the annoying box.

Unimpressed, she rolled her eyes and looked over at Liz, "How can you find this comforting?" "How can't you?" Liz scoffed, "Chun, I did this so you could enjoy your day off. Just lay back and relax. You do know what that word means, right?" "How can I relax, I'm sitting in an over heated box that makes weird noises every three minutes with cucumbers sliding off my face," Chun-Li angrily looked at the cucumbers right infront of her with traces of her mud mask lingering on them. She tried to move and hit the side of her box. "Dammit," she quickly snapped rubbing her fingers. Liz grinned silently laughing. You know, you Eastern girls never cease to amuse me. Chun-Li remembered Liz originally being born in America half Chinese half Caucasian. She moved back here because the drug lord that killed her mother lived here. Driven by the same rage, she quickly avenged her mother's death with the help of working at Interpol. Her father, though, realized what her rage had done to her and quickly helped her before it was too late for her to become fully absorbed in revenge.

Chun-Li paused looking how Liz was relaxing and decided to lean her head back and just close her eyes letting her guard down for only a minute or two. As soon as she closed her eyes thoughts of her whole life flowed through her mind.

Her father, Bison, Interpol, her friends, Master Gen, Ryu and the other world fighters. Her mind flashed back to a time when she was an adolescent and she was in South Korea with Master Gen visiting his friend, Grand Master Kim Soo, whom was a master in Shotokan that opened up a new school.
