Changing Sides Ch. 7
By "Unknown Writer"

Fog........mist......clouds..........

That's what she felt surrounding her. She felt like she was floating. Like she was flying....no.......hovering. Standing still in mid air. No breezes, no sounds......just.....nothingness. She didn't know where up was or down. There was no ground.....just nothingness. The she could see something, like light. She was moving towards it......towards the light. But she wasn't moving at all.....it was pulling her, calling to her......she got closer..........and closer.......................and closer...............

Her eyes opened with a snap. She saw through a red haze at first....but then after blinking....her sight became clear. She was surounded by water. But yet she wasn't drowning. Something.......something was over her face......well....over her mouth more like it. It was giving her air. Through the little bubbles that ocasionally went pass her heading for north...she could see a room. A room with white coats, people with white coats. She thought about it for a second......she didn't know her name. She didn't remember who she was, where she was. She looked below and saw a few people in white coats surround the tank she was in.

Proffesser Willie smiled ear to ear. "She is awake", he said. He stepped up to the tall tank of water which contained his latest creation. She looked down at him with a blank expression. He put his palm flat against the tank. The woman looked at his hand then back into his eyes. She cocked her head to one side.

"Only....... is she as perfect as you have made us beleive she is?", asked a man with pointy ears. He looked down at the slightly shorter doctor standing beside him. Prof. Willie only smiled. "That she is. What's the matter Doctor Shaylim? Jealous of my newest creation?", he ask indicating to the tank. Doctor Shaylim frowned. "No, of course not. By the way.....did you fix that memory chip? It did have a few problems with it. That would be quite dangerous for her to regain her memories", he said looking back up at the tank. "Of course I did.....well......one of my assistance did. Isn't that right young Mr. Clark", he said looking at one of his young trainies. The young doctor looked up at him with a flicker of fear, but soon masked it with a fake smile. "O-of course Professor. It has been taken care of", he said. Professor Willie smiled at the young man and turned back to the tank. "See? All is well", he said to Doctor Shaylim.

Doctor Shaylim looked at the woman in the tank again and turned to go back to his work. A guard came up and stood infront of the tank. "She's beautitiful", he whispered. Prof. Willie looked up from his clip board and looked up at the young man, then to the tank. "That she is", he said.....then walked back to the huge machine connected to the tank.

The woman looked up then put her hands on the lid which sealed her inside the tank. She then placed her hands on the tank's glass in front of her. She appeared to be looking for a way out. The guard smiled ear to ear at seeing this.

"Sorry Hun", he spoke out loud, "You can't get out unless someone let's you out". He licked his lips as his wandering eyes raked over her body. "But if you give me a kiss.......maybe I could arrange a little something ".

The woman looked down at him. She reached up and pulled of the face mask. Then she kneeled down to the bottom of the tank till she was face to face with the guard. He eyes turned completely white, then they narrowed. The guard froze in place with un explainable fear. His mind became blank. He felt a sharp pain shoot up his spine. Then with a jerk, his head snapped back, then whipped forward crashing hard into the tank.

Although the glass was unbreakable glass, a small crack appeared where his head made contact with the tank. Blood smeared on the tank, and his un concosious body fell to the ground. The woman smiled and raised back up to the top of the tank as her eyes turned back their normal shade. Willie along with Dr Kate and a few others went to see what had happened. Dr. Kate checked his palse. "He's still alive....just knocked silly", she said. The gash on his for head was really nasty. The guard was taken away to recieve medical attention. Prof. Willie looked back at the woman in the tank and smiled. "I guess your even more dangerous that I thought you were", he whispered.

After a nod from Prof. Willie, Dr. Kate pushed a button on the machine and the water in the tank began to decrease. Prof. Willie then turned to Dr. Kate. "Dress her in her combat unform and prepare her for a training session. It's time to let Lord Bison see what's she's actually made of", he said. She nodded and the other doctors scattered to continue there work...........................

While sitting in the leather chair, Adon twirled a pen in his fingers and sighed deeply. He hated meetings. They were all just about the same. Go to the location, kill everybody, steal, then get out. Why did they all have to spend an hour going over stuff that he already knew. He sighed again and dropped the pen. Then sat back in the comfertable chair and trained his eyes to the big screen in to his right.

On it showed a building where a wanna be crime lord was at. Bison didn't consider him a threat at first....but now the wanna be had some valueble information that Bison didn't want to be un covered. He looked across the black marble table to where Vega was sitting. He looked to be bored to, but he composed himself better than Adon. Ten other members of shadowlaw....called the Stars Team, sat around the rectangular table joting notes down for the latest mission. The Stars Team was a chosen group of 10 shadowlaw agents. It's the rank right below being a Shadowlaw Lord....which currently was Adon, Vega, Balrog, and Sagat.

Adon blinked out his day-dreaming when the dark room became lighted again. The screen went black and he turned his attention to Bison, who was sitting next to him at the head of the table.

"I want him dead. No exceptions. He knows about our involvement with Priest Hamingway's death and I do not want for that information to be publicized. You all are to destroy the entire building. The mission is scheduled in 4 days. You all are excused". Bison said. The Stars members got up and collected their belongings to file out. On the arm rest where Bison was sitting a red light began to blink. Bison looked down and pressed the button.

"Lord Bison.........she is ready"

Adon who was about to leave stopped and looked at Bison. "Huh? Who's ready?", he asked in puzzlement. Bison looked at Vega, then at Adon. He rosed out of his seat and headed to the door. "You can come with me to find out", Bison said as he went out the door. Adon looked down at Vega, who smirked and followed Bison. Adon shrugged and headed in the same direction...................

While everyone went back to their working spaces in the lab, Doctor Clark slipped into the hallway. Seeing no one was around, he let out a breath that it seemed he was holding for ages. His forhead became damp with sweat. He closed his eyes and tried to regulate his breathing. "No one", he whispered, "No one must know. If someone finds out that her memory chip my have a default in it.....I'm history". He took out a napkin from his coat pocket and wiped his for head of sweat, then went back into the large lab.................
