Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li: The Real Ending
The underling swallowed hard as he paused in his report. He wished he had not lost the office draw on who had to give news to their boss. "The Thai government has seized the assets of the holding company, as well as stopped the demolition of the slums."
The man in the grey business suit did not turn from the plate glass window, looking down at the night life. "Enough assets were left behind to fool Interpol into thinking they crippled Shadaloo?" His accent was vaguely Asian, sounding even more so coming from so fair a Caucasian.
Summary: The Schoolgirl destroyed the monster who destroyed her family. Or did she?
Let me be straight up with two facts: Street Fighter: the Legend of Chun-Li was a bad movie and Neal McDonough was the reason I paid money to see it in the theater. The first Street Fighter movie starring Jean-Claude Van Damme and Raul Julia was campy bad, but fun. The plot and characters make sense within the movie. I've got no problems with using a video game as the source material and changing things as long as it makes internal sense and improves the story (see my Legend of Zelda fanfics for example). The movie becomes fanfiction of the video game, and enjoyable in its own right if done correctly. Now what makes me writing this little short story to fix canon material so odd is I did it to reverse something seen on screen. I have filled in plot holes, revealed more backstory, expanded characters, and extrapolated their futures, but if someone died in canon, they were dead in my fanfiction. But Bison's death was such a boneheaded, idiotic, and potentially franchise-killing move, I had to reverse it. I hope you enjoy the story.
