Chun Li's Apprentice: 6

Blanka led Lily and Cody through the jungle for a couple hours until finally they arrived at what appeared to be a dojo. They walked right up to the front walkway. But Blanka stopped when he noticed no one in the training area.
"Master Dan?" He said in his raspy voice.
Suddenly out of no where, a loud yelling came and a flash of pink raced across everyone's eyes. Then a loud thud came and everyone looked over to see a man dressed in a pink gi, with brown hair in a pony tail, stunned on the ground. Cody stood next to him, fist extended in the air and looking irritated.
Blanka went over to the man and said, "Dan, are you alright?"
Then a teenage girl in a Japanese school uniform and very short dark brown hair, dropped out of seemingly thin air.
She keeled next to Dan and said to him, "Master! You ok?"
Blanka and the girl looked up at Cody angrily and he shrugged.
"Sorry." He said and kept his melancholy demeanor.
Dan laid woozy on the ground. You could almost see the spirals in his eyes and the stars and birds floating around his head.
"Who-are these people?" Dan said with a cracked voice.
"They wanted to talk to you about some things involving Shadow loo. I brought them here." Blanka answered.
"Oh...I see." Dan said still out of it.
Finally he recuperated and got up.
"I'm really sorry about that." Lily apologized. "My name is Lily and this is Cody." She gestured to him.
"We didn't mean to intrude. I just need some information, if you have any."
"Ah, that's ok I guess. Sorry Jimmy, I didn't see you with them. Well you've met Blanka I suppose. This is Sakura." Dan pointed to the brown haired Japanese girl and she bowed to Lily and Cody.
"Pleased to meet you both." She said happily.
They both nodded and Lily said, "Hi.".
"And I am the Master of all Masters, the ever wise Dan Hibiki!"
He made a few theatrical poses when he introduced himself and seemed very proud but happy-go-lucky. Lily was confused and Cody rolled his eyes.
"Um, well, it's very nice to meet you all." Lily said.
"The pleasure is all ours! We don't get many visitors to this dojo. But classes are available, would you like to join? Ten percent discount at initial sign up, but I'll give you guys 25%!" Dan said excitedly.
But neither Cody or Lily were there to learn karate. So they modestly shook their heads no, and Lily politely declined.
"Um, no thank you. We just wanted to ask you some questions."
"Aww no one ever wants to join my dojo." Dan put his head down and pouted.
He looked like he was about to cry.
"I'm really sorry." She apologized awkwardly. "But, uh, listen. So do you know anything about the criminal organization called Shadow loo?"
Dan instantly perked back up and looked curious while thinking for a minute.
"Not to much to be honest. Why do you want to know?"
Lily sighed. She would have to explain everything, even revealing that she and Cody were fugitives of the law.
"It's kind of a long story and there are parts I don't think you should know anyway. It would make us look bad, and we're not."
"It's alright. We don't judge." Sakura spoke up.
Lily sighed again and decided to tell them, starting from the night she was framed. She prayed the three wouldn't turn her and Cody in afterwards.

Dan, Sakura and Blanka blinked as Lily finished her story. They were all pretty shocked.
"So you see, I need to prove to my master and everyone I'm not guilty. I'm not a murderer. Plus maybe I can find out what happened to the legendary Dorai, whose whereabouts have alluded my master, Chun Li, for a very long time. So please don't think badly of us or rat us out to the cops. I just want any info on Shadow loo and then we'll be out of your hair forever." Lily took in a deep breath.
"Hmph. Well, I do see." Dan said rubbing his chin. "But I'm afraid I have no more information than you do. I know a man named M. Bison is in charge and that he might be linked to my father's death too. But that's all really. Sorry."
"Damn." Lily cursed. "Well, hold on. I do know of place I could get information from. And really good info too." Lily seemed excited.
"Where?" Dan asked.
But Lily became sad and put her head down some.
"My dad's place. But that's all the way back in Canada. See he's here in China now and his place would be totally free. I would know how to get in and hack his computer. But in order to get to Canada we need money. And we could get caught at the airport." Lily sighed.
Everyone, except Cody, became down with her.
"I know where to get money." Sakura's voice broke the silence.
Everyone looked up surprised.
"You do?" Lily and Dan said at the same time.
"Well, yea. I mean, don't get me wrong, but in the next town over, there is some kind of illegal fight club. You two look well enough to win. You could probably get a lot money there. I mean, you guys don't seem unwilling to do anything illegal. No offense." Sakura looked sorry and shrugged her shoulders.
But Lily nor Cody was offended. It was actually a good idea.
Lily looked over at Cody.
"Think you're up to all that?" She asked, worried he would object.
Cody sighed and looked off.
"I guess. At least I get to actually fight." He said referencing the incident with Blanka and that he had been promised all fights to begin with.
"Great!" Lily smiled at Cody and he just looked back at her with no expression.
Dan, Blanka, and Sakura clapped and cheered.
After that Lily got directions to the town where the illegal fight club was held almost every night and how to get there the quickest and safest without being seen. And after that it was time to head out.
Cody and Lily walked off, eager to have the journey truly begin.
