Street Fighter Movie Narration: Part 5

Vega slips back into his quarters to prepare himself for the next fight - and he knows this is the big one. His next opponent being this asshole Ryu aside, he cannot wait to see and express his heartfelt gratitude to his entire fans from around the world - most especially their leader, whom he considers his best friend... and maybe, just maybe...

And just as Vega relaxes in his quarters... the entire Vega fans are now on the far edge of the street where the Tong Warehouse is located, all excitedly waving their tickets. They all keep quiet while not yet in the warehouse, to keep up their part in this delicate mission.

Leading them now is an incredibly beautiful young girl wearing a powder-yellow t-shirt, mandarin-orange cycling shorts and very flat white Jesus sandals, and carrying over her shoulder a woven orange handbag. A slender figure, her skin is as white as the purest snow, her hair is as long as Vega's and is ginger with a red streak in the parting, her lips are a deep blood-red and her eyes are a warm, piercing emerald-green. Most -if not all- of Vega's male fans are drooling over her, especially Mel.

"Now remember guys," she tells them all, "Keep quiet until we get into the warehouse. I know you're all excited, and indeed so am I... but keep to the plan. Yet if any further steps must be taken, then go along only as necessary. I, of course, will gladly take the lead in such..."

"Yes ma'am!" the fans all quietly exclaim, and they salute as she leads them to the Tong Warehouse itself. Jenny is waiting outside the door.

"Oh!" she exclaims. "You must be all those folks who suddenly bought ze excess amount of tickets for ze fight with Ryu! As most pathetic as he is, Vega is going to need a lot of roses to hand out..." and she turns to the beautiful girl and adds, "...A lot of roses, indeed..."

"Yes we are ma'am," the beautiful girl replies. "We are here for the fight..." and the other fans hand all their tickets to her, and she hands all tickets including her own to Jenny.

Jenny chuckles, as she takes all of the tickets and stuffs them into her bag. "Si'l vous plait, call me Jenny. And it's just as well ze others handed zeir tickets to you, for you to zen hand zem to me - it'd take all night for all of you to hand zem to me!" She then gives a 'come on' gesture and adds, "...Now come on in, ladies and gentlemen. Ze last one of you to enter, si'l vous plait shut the door behind us..."

The fans all follow Jenny inside, and the last few to enter shut the doors behind themselves.

As Jenny leads these Vega fans in, the fans are impressed at this simple yet finely-constructed warehouse - and it isn't long before some of them take out their cameras and/or camcorders. Jenny and some of Sagat's other thugs happily smile for a few shots, too! "His Excellency General M Bison would most appreciate souvenir photos and videos of his first major step toward world conquest," smirks Jenny. "HEIL!!"

They all momentarily arrive at the steel cage arena, and their excitement intensifies. They all gather together so they can take photos of the arena, and perhaps of Sagat's office over at the far top. Raven and Sara are standing a few paces right outside Vega's quarters, and they too are excited to see all of these wonderful Vega fans here.

Jenny then stands before all of the fans and tells them, "All right folks - take any seat or aisle you can find, but obviously do not obstruct Vega's path to the cage! Now come on in!" and she moves aside as all of the Vega fans scramble to take their seats or find a place to stand.

The beautiful girl, of course, takes a front-row seat near the cage - she's a VIP guest, after all! She hand-signals to Raven and Sara, who respond by bowing to her as they slowly back up into Vega's quarters...

Vega is sipping on a glass of red wine when Raven and Sara then enter. "Vega!" Raven calls out to him.

"Si?" Vega asks, as he sits up and faces his two acolytes.

Raven and Sara proudly smile. "They're here..." Sara tells Vega. "The Vega fans are all here!"

Vega's eyes light up. "Yes!!" he exclaims. "And how are they, do they fare well?"

"They are well..." Raven replies. "All of them fare well..."

Vega smiles. "You'd better start gathering up those roses, in fact take every rose from every vase! I will not let my fans' goodwill in assisting me go unrewarded!"

Raven and Sara bow, and they take every rose from every vase and place those roses on their velvet cushions...

Sagat is sitting at his table in his office when Lex brings in Ryu and Ken. "Good evening, gentlemen!" he greets them.

"Good evening, Sagat..." Ryu replies. "It's quite a party, didn't anyone tell you there's a curfew?"

Sagat lights a cigarette. "In Shadaloo City, nobody tells me anything..." - but no sooner does he say this, than an AN helicopter flies by outside and announces a 7 p.m. curfew in the city. He takes a puff of his cigarette and asks Ryu and Ken, "May I offer you a drink... or anything else?"

Raven and Sara watch from outside the office. "Let's skip the Miss Manners, and get down to business..." Ken tells Sagat, and so Raven and Sara sigh and back up. Ken then asks Sagat, "Do you have the one hundred thousand dollars?"

Bruno and White Wolf bring out a suitcase holding much money and show it to Ryu and Ken... but then Sagat closes the suitcase. "Do you have the weapons?" he asks them.

"They're hidden..." smirks Ken.

"When we get outside with our money," Ryu adds, "We'll call you on this and tell you where your guns are..."

Ken lightly waves his cellphone in hand. "Do we have a deal or not?"

Sagat's response? He gets up from his seat, and puts his arms around Ken and Ryu's shoulders as if to escort them out. "Oh no..." he tells the duo, "I already know the weapons are hidden on a pier behind the Malpeza Brewery..." The thugs bring in a few crates containing the weapons as Sagat adds, "In fact, my men have already unloaded the truck and brought the weapons here. What's the matter, gentlemen - surely, you aren't afraid of your own weapons?"

Ryu and Ken raise their hands as the thugs take the guns in hand and aim them at the duo. Sagat gives them a 'ready, aim, FIRE!' signal, and they fire the guns - only to shoot out Nerf balls! Sagat and his men laugh, and Sagat then takes one gun in hand.

"Toys!" he laughs. "I like my games live - and in living colour!!" and he watches with interest as his thugs fight the duo. He knows the duo will be instrumental in his plans (or at least, so he thinks about Ken...) - he just needs to see their skills for himself...

After just a few moments of fighting, Sagat halts the thugs from fighting right as two of them, Justin and Slasher, corner Ryu and Ken against one window. He approaches the duo and tells them, "Interesting... you aren't all-talk after all..."

The thugs all aim the fake guns at Ryu and Ken, thus nonetheless prompting the duo to raise their hands - but then Sagat raises his hand. "Put your guns down, all of you!" he orders them, and so they obey his order. Ryu and Ken hesitantly lower their hands, too.

"What is it, Sagat?" Ryu asks.

"Well it's just as well you asked, Ryu..." Sagat smiles. "I have reason to believe you really hate my champion Vega, am I correct?"

Ryu is very enthusiastic at Sagat's words. "Yes I do! How can such a pathetic man be so strong - and win so many fans, especially girls?? I want to steal them from him and convince them just how pathetic he really is! Ken, however, is only in it for the money..."

"Indeed..." Sagat replies. "Well, I can make both of your wishes come true. Ryu, I highly expect you to defeat Vega tonight because I can see so much more potential in you - both for my cage fights, and maybe as a hired thug for His Excellency General M Bison if he so wishes to hire you. If Vega were to, say... have a permanent accident, I will happily look the other way... if you know what I mean. And yes, Ken will receive a high number of the proceeds..."

Ryu and Sagat smile evilly, and Ryu puts his hand out for Sagat to shake. "It's a deal!" Ryu exclaims, and Sagat happily shakes his hand. Ken, however, is unsure - to kill a good man like Vega is no wise way to secure his dreams of fame and fortune. Maybe, just maybe, Vega himself can grant Ken's wish... but Ken would have to keep up his cover for a while, so he does not raise any suspicions...

Ryu and Sagat are about to laugh evilly over their deal, when Jenny bursts in. "Sagat..." she tells him. "I applaud you for striking ze deal with Ryu, and Ryu for accepting it... but zere is a fly in ze ointment..."

"What is it, Jenny?" Sagat asks.

"Zese many people who are here tonight, ze ones who bought ze excess amount of tickets for ze fight with Ryu... zey are every Vega fan from around ze world - oui, including... well, a certain royal pain..."

"You don't mean..." gasps Justin...

Jenny approaches the window, and carefully lifts up the blinds then points the beautiful girl to everyone. "There she is over there. It's definitely her, she's too beautiful not to be her..."

"The nerve of her!" groans Slasher. "Trust that f..."

"...Calm down, Slasher!!" Sagat then interrupts, and everybody turns to him. "Yes, we can certainly make good use of this new... complication. Keep a sharp eye on her, I -and/or of course His Excellency, once he too is made aware of how unvaluable and pathetic Vega truly is- will relay further instructions when appropriate. Now go! Return to your posts in the arena!"

Sagat's thugs all salute, and they re-enter the steel cage arena. Ken and Ryu approach Sagat, and Ryu shares Sagat's enthusiasm in this new development but Ken is secretly proud of Vega and his many fans...

Back at Bison's fortress, Bison and Zangief enter the laboratory and approaches the only unwilling of his scientists, a man named Dr Dhalsim. Dhalsim is the most renowned medicine man and Yoga fighter in all of India and also a popular scientist... but unfortunately, Bison captured him just as the AN's war against he began. Ouch!

"Ah!" Bison greets the unfortunate gentleman. "Dr Dhalsim! How is your research today?"

Dhalsim turns to face Bison and sighs. "The same: warped, corrupted, my science twisted to self-perversion instead of peace..."

"Tell you what..." Bison smiles. "After I crush my enemies we shall see about getting you published. That should cheer you up, hmmm?" and he gives Dhalsim a pat on the back before he turns to face and then paces to what looks like some form of incubation chamber and adds, "...Now let's have a look at the patient..."

Held inside the chamber... is Charlie. He struggles in agony as he appears to be watching... something terrible, something horrifying. Bison smiles. "Excellent. He'll do very nicely - you'll have a perfect soldier..."

"You mean a perfect killer!" Dhalsim bravely replies.

Bison lightly groans at Dhalsim's reply. "Let's not quibble over definitions..." He then briefly observes Charlie's agonistic struggling. "Is that a reaction to the programming? What's he receiving?"

"See for yourself..." comes Dhalsim's reply, and he presses a button to show Bison what Charlie is receiving. The images are horrifying - even an image of... well, a certain other evil man whom Jenny de Cerna looks up to (and I don't mean her future husband Albert Wesker!)...

"Merely educational software..." Bison muses. "Why does he find it disturbing?"

Dhalsim brushes back a loose strand of his hair. "Because unlike you, he's not psychotic!"

Bison is angered at Dhalsim's words, and he grabs the man by his throat. "You take risks, Doctor! Do not presume so much on my good nature!" and he tosses Dhalsim aside, then stands over him as he adds, "...When his brain becomes a killing machine, my... loyal scientists will start on his body..."

A group of scientists enter the lab, bringing with them IV drip bags containing toxic chemicals as powerful as they are colourful...
