Chapter 6
Drill Through the Wind


"We now move on into the next fight, from Team Hokage, Kirisawa Fuuko!" Demi said into the microphone. Fuuko stepped up to the ring. "And from Team Street Fighter, Cammy!" From opposite, Cammy climbed up the steps to her position.

Demi turned to Kagerou. "So, Kage Houshi-san, what do you think about the line-up for today so far?"

"I know for a fact that Mikagami arranged the line-up for Team Hokage, but so far, Team Street Fighter has been doing very well. I'm sure Kasugano-san can tell you more."

Sakura grinned. "Just call me Sakura. And Team Street Fighter has been training hard for today's match, because they know that they had a chance of fighting last year's champion team! However, we are all very reluctant to fight our friends..."

Demi nodded in agreement. "And we go back to the ring to see how the fighters are doing!"


Fuuko adjusted her T-shirt upon seeing Cammy's impeccable army fatigues. Not that they were REALLY fatigues, they were more like a leotard. A tight black leotard that showed off her legs to perfection. And Fuuko started to feel a little inadequate. "Well, I'll just have to kick her butt." She frowned at Cammy who was fiddling with her braids. She had never liked this woman.

Sasami had picked the lot for this fight when the referees were drawing lots, and she bounded up to the ring, microphone in hand. "Ladies, are you ready?" She called out. "And... the Fight begins!"

Cammy stood with her arms crossed, not taking her eyes off Fuuko, who was ALSO standing in her position with her arms on her hips. Cammy spoke. "I suppose that you are here to protect that girl." She pointed to Yanagi with a half-gloved hand. Cammy smirked. "Not that you're going to succeed... I am going to win this one easily."

Something in Fuuko snapped. "Yeah? Well, how's this for size?"

Fuuko dashed towards Cammy, and her fist smashed into Cammy's stomach. Cammy took the blow, but retaliated quickly with an uppercut which Fuuko dodged by bending low suddenly. Still crouching, Fuuko lashed forward with her leg, trying to sweep Cammy's feet from under her. Cammy half-fell, but recovered from the trip and somersaulted backwards, her laughter ringing in Fuuko's ears. "Come on, Fuuko. Surely you can do better than that?"


Demi raised an eyebrow. "Err... Sakura, what was that you were saying earlier?"

Sakura didn't answer.


Fuuko's eyes narrowed at the grinning Cammy. "Yes, I can," she hissed and cried "Fuujin Katamachi!"

Cammy watched the wind blade cutting through the air towards her. As the blade came dangerously close, Cammy bent before neatly somersaulting over it. The crowd went wild as Cammy laughed her tinkling laugh. Fuuko was seething. Her laugh is getting on my nerves.

Cammy turned to face Fuuko and called "Cannon Drill!" before jumping in the air and spinning horizontally towards Fuuko. Her legs crashed into Fuuko, and Fuuko was thrown into the air. Her mind moving fast, she threw her three darts at Cammy with a flick of her wrist. Winded from the earlier attack, Cammy didn't see the darts until it was too late. She leaped over the first one and ducked the second, but the third one lodged itself into her shoulder. Cammy cried out in pain and glared at the wound from which blood trickled down her arm. Fuuko landed and smirked at Cammy. "Well, looks like YOU'RE the one who cannot do better."


"And Cammy has just done one of her special moves that we have seen often in the other matches that Team Street Fighter have took part in! Fuuko has also used her trademark darts and Cammy has managed to dodge all of them except for one! What grace and speed!" Demi said.

Sakura shook her head. "That's not really a special move. Cammy can do much better than that."

Kagerou agreed. "Yes. And Fuuko can do better as well."


Cammy grimaced as she yanked the offending weapon out of her shoulder. Holding it in her hand, she examined it. "Jealousy, Fuuko?" She said, referring to the word that was carved on all of Fuuko's darts. She laughed again. "How childish."

With a flourish, Cammy threw the dart into the ground, and it remained stuck in the ground, the handle quivering from the impact. She stood with her arms by her side and told Fuuko in a matter-of-fact voice, "Kirisawa Fuuko. You will be unable to protect the one you care for. You know why? You are too weak, but I've heard that of you."

Immediately, Cammy launched herself into the air and did another of what seemed to be a Cannon Drill. "Another Cannon Drill, Cammy? I've seen that before!" Fuuko called out as she leaped back.

Cammy laughed. "Not really. This is a Spin Drive Smasher!" Continuing straight from her Cannon Drill, Cammy backflipped, kicking Fuuko as she did so. Fuuko flew straight into the air.


"That is a special move! Did you see the energy shadows that trailed after Cammy? Everytime one shadow hits Fuuko, she would have felt another Cammy hit her!" Sakura said excitedly into the microphone.


raydance: Whoo hoo! Go Cammy! *waves a Cammy flag*
plhu: Whose side are YOU on?
raydance: Sorry.


When she landed, Cammy was waiting for her. "Cannon Punch!" Cammy called as her fist glowed and landed on Fuuko's torso. Again, Fuuko was thrown into the air, but this time, she was ready for it. "Rocket Dive!" Fuuko said, and using her Fuujin, she propelled herself into the air. Cammy was caught by surprise and could not dodge Fuuko, who had flown around Cammy. Fuuko held Cammy by the waist and threw her to the ground.


"Rocket Dive is something new that Fuuko has been practicing since last year. She has never used it before, this is the first time. Which means that she thinks Cammy is a strong opponent." Kagerou commented.


Bison was upstairs in Mori Kouran's office watching the match from his wall screen. Mori Kouran noticed his interest. "Is this your girlfriend, Lord Bison?"

Bison nodded, thoughtfully swirling his drink. Mori Kouran stared hard at the screen. "Is she going to win?"

Bison laughed and finished the cocktail. He looked away from the screen to stare straight at Mori Kouran's crooked eyes. What an ugly freak. "Of course," he answered. He put down his glass. He had to prepare.


Cammy rolled away from her position and Fuuko missed crashing into her head with her knee. Cammy sat up. I must win this match! Team Hokage must be stopped. Lord Bison must be protected! She got to her feet. Facing Fuuko who was watching Cammy suspiciously, Cammy saluted smartly and said "Yes sir!"

To the immense surprise of all present, Bison appeared and laughing evilly, spun horizontally towards the shocked Fuuko, energy crackling around him. He hit Fuuko face on, and screaming, she flew into the air. Bison laughed again and disappeared into mid-air after winking at Cammy.


Mori Kouran stared at the spot where Bison had been standing a moment before. Hearing the loud murmuring coming from the screen speakers, he looked up and saw Bison hitting Fuuko in a burst of energy. The next moment, he was back in his office, and dusting his cloak. "What the..." Mori Kouran stuttered.

Bison laughed. "Just one move that Bison's girlfriend can do." He settled back into his seat.


"What was THAT?" Demi asked.

Sakura grinned. "Being Lord Bison's girlfriend has its perks. Cammy is able to call out Lord Bison to do a Psycho Crusher when she wishes."

Kagerou had nothing to say for the moment.

"Wait a minute! I thought it was against the rules to have another person to help you!" Domon called out towards the judges' table.

Demi faltered, "Err... yes. It is. So, because Team Street Fighter has used another person other than the fighter..." Demi was rudely interrupted by Guile. (He had staggered from his bed as he HAD to watch Cammy fight.)

"No. This can be considered as Cammy's madogou."

The rest of Team Street Fighter stared at Guile's burst of brain power, and Vega started shaking his hand wildly. "Ow! Watch the broken rib!"

Demi and Sasami were at a loss for words. As they were discussing this topic, the screen blipped on. Mori Kouran's face appeared, and his voice could be heard over the PA system. "This can be considered as Miss Cammy's madougou. I see no wrong in her calling out that man."

The screen returned to the original display with another beep. Sasami climbed back into the ring. "And the fight is continued!"


Cammy was standing in the middle of the ring, watching Fuuko who was kneeling in a corner of the ring, blood trickling down her face. "Come on, Kirisawa, stand up and fight me like a woman."

Fuuko looked up from the ground, her eyes filled with hatred. Wiping the blood away from her nose with the back of her hand, she launched herself towards Cammy with a feral scream. She ran towards the stationary Cammy and at the last possible minute, used Rocket Dive again to propel herself into the air, hoping to catch Cammy by surprise. This is the last of my energy. I HAVE to catch her with his move!

To her horror, Cammy saw through the move. "Reverse Breaker!" she called out as she flipped onto her hands and spun upwards, sucking Fuuko into the tornado she created. In a desperate attempt, Fuuko tried to call out her wind darts, but Cammy jumped up and flew towards Fuuko with a jump kick. Fuuko was hit, and was unable to dodge the other kicks that come from various angles. As she stood swaying, Cammy threw her to the ground. Fuuko lay on the ground, not moving.


"And what was THAT? We've never seen that move before!" Demi asked yet again.

"The entire series of kicks starting from the jump until the throw is called the Phantom Lafayette. Cammy rarely uses that move unless it is really called for, because it drains a lot of energy. This is the last move that she needs to pull." Sakura said proudly into the microphone.

Kagerou looked at the unmoving girl. "As much as I hate to say it, this IS the last move that Cammy needs to do. Fuuko seems to have been knocked out." Kagerou said quietly.


Team Hokage stared at the limp Fuuko on the ground. "Get up, Fuuko!" Recca shouted, "Get up and fight!" There was no answer.

Cammy looked at Sasami, who was standing uncertainly at the edge of the ring. "By virtue of a knock-out," Sasami began, "the winner, Cammy!"

The crowds went wild. It was now two against one in Team Street Fighter's favour!



Authors' section
plhu: You know, I was going through the fic and realised that this chapter didn't have an author's section.
raydance: So you're writing this purely for the sake of writing this. *sweatdrops*
plhu: Right.
raydance: I wonder how many people can actually tolerate the authors' section, though.
plhu: Yeah.
