Chapter 7
It was morning, the sun rose and
is brightly shining from the sky. Chunli was sleeping in a
room
in the Highwind. The sun’s rays entered the room from a
window. She woke up as the sun’s
rays touched her face. “I
wonder what the time is,” she yawned, sitting up and turned to
the
clock on the wall. It was 8:30 She got off the bed and
went to the bathroom to wash her face.
After that ordeal, she went to
the control room and Vegeta, Arbok, and Cloud were already
there.
“Good morning Chunli,” Cloud said with a smile.
“Good
morning to you too, Vegeta, Arbok,” Chunli greeted back. Vegeta just
nodded in return.
“So where are we eating for breakfast? I’m not
eating in that restaurant you took us in
yesterday.”
“Yeah,
whatever.”
“Which place is our next target?” Vegeta blurted
out.
“You know, I was about to tell you that. Okay, I phoned
Interpol last night and got some
information about the Red Ribbon
Army. They don’t know the location of their main base but
they
did manage to locate one of their headquarters,” Chunli
said.
“Where exactly?” Vegeta asked.
“Do you have a map
Cloud?”
“Yeah,” Cloud answered and walked to a control board.
He pushed a button and a holographic
map appeared in front of
Chunli.
“Thanks. Okay, we’re right here and the headquarters
is in the Metro forests, that’s 35 miles
south from here,” Chunli said
while pointing the locations on the map. Cloud then turned the
map
off.
“Since, we’re going to the Metro Forests, can we go to
Metro City?” Cloud asked.
“Look kid, we don’t have time to spare,”
Vegeta said coldly.
“No, I want to go too. Besides, I bet we
can find a lot of decent restaurants there,” Chunli added.
“All
right! We’ll go,” Vegeta scorned.
“Metro City, here we come!”
Chunli yelled happily and walked over to Cloud. “He sure gave
up
easily on that one,” she whispered to his ear.
“That’s
because he has no idea where to go, he needs us,” Cloud snickered,
pressing a bunch of
buttons on the control board to start the
ship.
“I heard that!” Vegeta growled.
“Calm down, we were
just joking,” Chunli giggled.
“Okay everybody here we go,” Cloud
announced.
The Highwind’s engines began to roar and the propellers
began to spin. The Highwind slowly
rose from the ground and flew
away.

“Let’s see, where should we eat for breakfast?”
Chunli asked herself while walking on the city’s
sidewalks with the
gang.
At the other side of the street, there was a fat woman with a
lot of jewellery on such as earrings,
necklaces, bracelets, and rings,
waiting for a bus. A man with torn clothing then came up to
her
and snatched her purse and ran away.
“HEELLLPPP!
Thief!” she wailed at the top of her lungs. A blonde man dressed in
a white suit
with a brief case then appeared out of nowhere and went
after the thief.
“Stop!” the man cried. “All right you asked
for it,” he growled to himself and putted on a pair of
red
shades. He glowed in white and then his clothing was different, he
was now dressed in a blue
costume.
“That was too easy,” the
thief chuckled, looking back at the helpless, fat woman.
“Uuuhhhh...”
he grunted, he has bumped into the man in blue.
“Oh
no,” the thief told himself.
“Give me back the purse,” the man in
blue commanded.
“Okay,” the thief squeaked and handed the purse to
him. At that very moment, a police car
arrived.
“Oh thank
you so much mister,” the fat woman sighed with relief as she got to
them.
“No problem ma’am,” the man in blue answered and handed her
the purse. He grabbed the thief’s
shirt’s collar and turned to
the police. “Here you go officer,” he said valiantly and handed
the
thief to him.
“Great job,” the police complimented and
cuffed the thief’s hands and shoved him in the back seat
of the
car. “Don’t worry, we’ll take good care of this hoodlum,” the police
said and went in the
car and drove away.
The man in blue was
about to leave but heard a familiar voice calling him, it was
Chunli.
“Hey, Captain Commando,” Chunli greeted.
“Why,
Chunli, I wasn’t expecting to see you here,” Captain Commando greeted back
and then
heard a grumbling noise.
“Oh, sorry. Those are
our stomach’s grumbling,” Chunli laughed embarrassingly.
“Say, why
won’t you and your friends come over to my mansion?”
“Sure, I’d
love to. Right guys?”
“Yes,” Vegeta, Arbok, and Cloud nodded
in unison.
“Great.” Captain Commando whistled and a black
limousine pulled over to them.
“Whoa, this guy must be rich,” Cloud
whispered to Vegeta.
“Who cares? I’m probably richer,” Vegeta
replied.
“Come on in,” Captain Commando ushered.
“Ladies
first,” Chunli giggled as she went in the limo and then Vegeta, Arbok,
Cloud, and Captain
Commando followed.
Captain Commando knocked
on a window which separated their seats from the driver’s.
“Yes
sir?” the driver asked.
“Jenkins, take us to the
mansion.”
“As you command sir,” Jenkins replied and closed the
window.
***
“Are we there yet?” Cloud asked impatiently in
the limo while driving through Captain
Commando’s estate.
“Will
you keep your mouth shut?” Chunli growled at him.
“We’ve been in
this limo for half an hour and we’re not there yet. I also get sick
in vehicles with
small spaces like this one,” Cloud said.
“Don’t
worry, we’re almost there,” Captain Commando chuckled.
“We’re here
sir,” Jenkins announced.
“Ladies first,” Captain Commando said and
opened the door. Chunli stepped out first and then
the others
followed.
“Wow,” Cloud gasped as he got out of the limo.
“Whoa, a big place you got here, it’s like a
castle.”
“Humph, my
place is bigger than this,” Vegeta snorted mentally.
“Come on in
guys,” Captain Commando called out from the door and ushered them
inside. They
headed straight to a HUGE dining room and then
servants out of nowhere began to serve food.
“Help yourselves
guys.” They all sat down and began to eat.
“So Captain
Commando...” Chunli started.
“Rick, call me Rick,” Captain Commando
interjected.
“Okay, Rick, where are Sho, Hoover, and Jennety?”
Chunli finished.
“Oh, they’re somewhere on vacation. Say,
what were you guys doing here anyway?”
“We’re going to the Metro
Forests,” Cloud answered.
“What for?”
“Should we tell him?”
Cloud asked Chunli.
“Yeah, it’s okay, Rick is someone we can
trust,” Chunli answered.
“Okay, we’re going there to find one of
the Red Ribbon Army’s headquarters,” Cloud
said.
“Why?”
Vegeta, Chunli, and Cloud told their reasons
why they were after the Red Ribbon Army.
“I see...” Rick said after
hearing everything.
“Okay, we better go now,” Vegeta
announced.
“Hey, we can’t just eat and run,” Chunli
scolded.
“It’s okay, in fact, I want to come,” Rick
said.
“Why?” Cloud asked.
“Whenever there’s evil, I’ll be
there, whenever someone is in need, I’ll be there. Besides,
I
haven’t had a good adventure since I beat Scumocide and when
Onslaught was beaten.”
“You can come, just shut your trap,” Vegeta
growled.
“Don’t worry, you’ll get use to him,” Chunli whispered to
Rick.
***
“There it is!” Chunli cried as she found the
headquarters after clearing a bunch of tree branches in
her
way.
“Okay, buckle up boys and girl, trouble’s coming,” Vegeta
chuckled. They were about to sneak
in but then they heard
something behind them.
