Ah, Japan. Land of the Rising Sun, rich culture, easygoing people, ramen and pachinko machines. Nowhere else could one find a more interesting place in the world (except for every other place in the world), and for those who lived and breathed martial arts, Japan was the best place to hone their skills. Temples were filled with aspiring monks who fought as a means to better themselves, academies sought out tough prodigies and all around the cities were intrepid individuals who made a habit of seeking out new foes for fun and/or profit. And then there was Chun-Li Xiang, Interpol officer, aspiring detective, pride of China and one and only 'Strongest Woman' on the entire Earth. A stalwart soul like her would have fit in wonderfully so amongst the crowds of Tokyo on a search for sweets, gambling opportunities and potential Shadaloo or SIN leads- in that order- yet Japan had called to her for something much different than simple tourism.
Chun-Li was on a vacation, a well-deserved one at that, yet she wasn't capitalizing on it by relaxing. No, like the workaholic she was, the 'First Lady of Fighting' prowled through the Japanese countryside on a quest. Long before she was born her father, god rest his soul, had traveled to Japan to visit the more secluded temples that had more religious and sentimental significance than the other, more commercial temples did. Why her father went to these temples was beyond Chun-Li, so rather than remain in the dark she decided to take some time out of her busy schedule and follow in her father's footsteps. She did not expect to uncover any incriminating evidence about the man or find anything pertaining to criminal organizations. The spring beauty simply wanted to gain a better understanding of her father, to gain a sense of closure and peace that had a tendency of eluding her on a daily basis.
Thus she crunched through the underbrush and tore through a few low-hanging vines on her way to a rather sinister-looking temple which, to her chagrin, Chun-Li decided to travel to when the sun was setting. The temple was situated on a rocky hill overlooking the southern bay of Japan, surrounded by countless trees and rock walls to keep the place secluded and unfit for weekend travelers. No honest business brings a person here anymore, yet back in the day Chun-Li was certain that the temple was the pinnacle of Taoist religion or martial arts. The woman in blue skipped across walkstones and grappled with ledges as she got closer and closer, and soon she found herself at the entrance to the great, foreboding temple. She found it disconcerting to know that the once proud temple was in tatters, ruined by natural causes and human negligence, but Chun-Li wasn't going to turn back just because a few beams were collapsed. No, to better understand her father, the woman was prepared to do quite a lot!
"Are those... Torches?" Chun-Li's steely eyes focused in on a few still-burning torches. Like a moth she approached them and glanced around, soon feeling a little nervous. "Huh... Someone else was here recently..."
