Description: Except not really! Momoko and Mr. Jones join forces to do a charity performance in Thailand to help with the effort of rebuilding after the war. Then along comes a certain EX-Killer Bee who can't believe she once associated with such goofy individuals. Sadly, despite the badass name, no fights are to be had. Maybe next time!
Welcome to Thailand, where things may not have been going all that well due to the fighting that's been going on around the world. Even Momoko can't believe that there's so much fighting right now. Which is why the Capoeira cutie has gone upon one of her famous tours to show off the great art of Capoeira, fused with her upbeat and happy style of action. She's a phenomenon in Japan, and they always love it when she goes on tours to show off in other prefectures in Japan. So she's decided to travel to Thailand to help cheer up the people in Thailand by showing that being happy isn't that hard when you know what to do.
As the music plays on the stage in the area where Momoko is holding her exhibition show, people are clapping along, and a few are even singing along too. All the while, Momoko shows her freestyle form of Capoeira with no sign of slowing down, with that big grin she generally has on her face. Apparently, her effort to cheer the people up is working rather well
Cammy has rather more serious business to be attending to here. She's heard that one of Khun Min's lieutenants will be in here, meeting with a British businessman known to have been involved in embezzling in the past, and needless to say Delta Red have an interest in finding out about that. For comic book logic reasons, however, the blonde bombshell still is clad in her Delta Red uniform as she move through the crowds of the concert.
She's not so interested in the music, more focused on the people themselves, as she slowly moves through the place, looking at faces, mentally checking them against the photograph she memorised earlier, slipping adroitly through the crowd as she goes thanks to her ability to wriggle past people almost effortlessly.
To say that things have not been well in Thailand is an understatement. The people here, much like the rest of Asia and the rest of the world too but particularly Asia, have suffered incredibly. Their homes lay in ruins, the air is filled with smoke, many of their relatives and friends have perished, casualties of war, it's generally not a time to be happy. Though the war is now officially over, the atmosphere is that of mourning and sadness, the wailing of grieving mothers, sisters and spouses is the most common sound in the streets...
But all that is drowned by the upbeat sound of Brazilian music! Somehow, wherever Momoko goes she's always able to turn a frown upside down and today in Thailand is no exception. Already have the people forgotten of their grieving and have rushed to see the Capoeira super star in action, eager to contribute to the rebuilding effort and forget their sorrows.
But just in case that's not enough, another certain super star joins in on the show.
Mister Jones!
"Woohoo!!" The action hero enters the stage with a cartwheel to much applause from the public. It's only natural that someone like Tha' Jones would join in on the street performance for charity, though certain events with /another/ Capoiera girl might had gotten him interested in the style of dance fighting. Why else would he have donned a typical Capoiera pants and shirts if not to impress someone?
"Yeah! I totally got this!" Jones may be a skilled fighter and dancer, but at Capoiera he's intermediate at best. Thus he goes about the embarrassing and very humbling movements of stopping to look at what Momoko is doing and then try to copy her.
"Watch ma moves!" Obviously he can't help but sneak in a disco stance here and there. One hand on his hip, the other pointing up as he shakes his leg to the beat. "Woo woo! Woo woo! Get down!"
Momoko just can't help but giggle at Mr. Jones and how he's trying to emulate her. He's doing good, but it'll take lots of time before he's as good as Momoko is. Nevertheless, she doesn't seem to mind the company as she continues exhibiting her favorite activity, her body moving in a fluid manner while her hands and bare feet propel her into the next motions with ease. It's hard to believe this girl is only twelve years old.
The more the music goes, the faster Momoko goes. Then, it comes to a big finale as Momoko demonstrates a big triple somersault before landing on her hands with her legs in a split, then she spins around and lands on her feet. This results in her receiving a large amount of applause. Momoko grins and takes a bow, before going to get some water.
No need to rub it in really, Mister Jones knows he's hopelessly out matched when it comes to Capoiera against someone like Momoko. But darn it, he's not going to let that stop him from doing a bit of cross training, not after meeting up with someone like Elena a few weeks past, she'll be so impressed with his new Capoiera skills, he just knows it!
Johnny Jones fails to notice any familiar faces in the crowd though, he's a little too busy making a total fool of himself! "Okay, here it goes!" As the music comes to a grand finale, the Disco Fighter takes a few hops backwards to gain momentum and look beside him to Momoko getting ready to imitate her. "Alley-oop!" Jones jumps up and spins backwards rapidly, tucking his legs in to hold his knees so he can do the crazy triple back somersault of doom that Momoko just did.
As the girl gracefully lands on her hands though, Mister Jones manages to complete the twirl and clumsily slips up. He falls on his feet and is unable to control his momentum which causes him to catapult himself out of the stage and land on his back by the crowd's feet. A sharp contrast from the expert twirls of Momoko, the girl's graceful landing is followed by a resounding crash of Jonesy' collision with the ground.
It's hard to believe the guy is a fighter.
"I'm okay!"
Cammy glances up at the stage for a brief moment as a somersault catches her eye, and she sees Momoko showing off her acrobatic skills, and Mr Jones showing his, er, lack of acrobatic skills, as he falls down into the crowd - right next to her, in fact.
She has met him before, in a past life... but she doesn't remember. So she just stares at him for a moment, her expression not particularly impressed by the klutz tripping over his own feet! She just tries to brush past him, as he's blocking her way, twisting her body so she slides past him, like liquid around an obstruction.
Momoko is a good sport when it comes to other people, so she reaches down to help Mr. Jones up. "There there, Momoko will help you out there!" She says with a big grin. She doesn't mind going into the crowd either since she loves meeting her fans. "Momoko wants to meet some of her fans, so Momoko will see you later!"
Then Momoko spots Cammy and huhs. She doesn't know who she is, but the way she's acting makes Momoko seem a little intrigued. She attempts to go towards Cammy, but is stopped by fans who want to meet and greet. Fortunately, Momoko is willing to oblige. She signs autographs and shakes hands with everyone. Yet Cammy is still in her mind.
It's fine really, the afro cushioned the fall! Somewhat. Not really considering that Jonesy fell on his back and thus injured his dorsal spine. Ah, but he's made of tough stuff that Jonesy and blinks up to realize he's staring at a....rather sleek pair of legs. "Whoa what the--" He recognizes the cammo pattern on said limbs and struggles to get up, just in time from Momoko to gingerly reach down to assist him. At least he manages to sit back up and raises his shades where they rest on his curly hair. "I recognize them legs."
As he begins to stand, there's suddenly a flash mob of fans wanting to get their hands on cute lil' Momokins pushing and shoving their way out including Mister Jones. Cammy isn't the only one that can weave through people like water though and Mister Beats Jones slides sideways letting the excited crowd circle the Capoerista prodigy allowing him to call out to the familiar looking woman.
"Yo! Camille! What's shaking babe!?"
Cammy looks around, confused. Camille? Well it starts 'Cam' at least. "Erm, no..." she tells Mr Jones when she sights up on him. Recoiling a little, oh no, one of the stage types is talking to her! "Thats not my name. I suppose it is possible we've met, though..." she grudgingly admits. She's had people recognising her all week, and she doesn't know any of it. She gives Mr Jones a fierce look, face scrunched up a bit, as she racks her brains. Her blue eyes glancing up at his afro. Surely she could remember /that/.
(Her legs actually look quite different though! Before they had blue lightning bolt paint patterns, now it's green camo paint patterns. Totally different.)
As she didn't really raise her voice much, she's quite hard to hear - she does just stand there though, staring at his afro, seemingly getting more and more annoyed judging by her sour expression. She can't even remember hair like that??? She even affords a glance at Momoko, wondering if she knows her, too.
Momoko is still greeting her fans when she notices Mr. Jones and Cammy greeting one another. She starts to recognize Mr. Jones, but Cammy is not someone she knows. But she think she's mighty pretty with those long blonde twin braids, and that outfit is neat too. Momoko would go to greet her, but she's talking to Mr. Jones. Instead, Momoko decides to idly practice her ginga a little while she waits for Cammy and Mr. Jones to finish talkign to each other.
Mister Jones' eyebrows wiggle slightly at the fiercely annoyed look Cammy gives him when he calls her by the pet name he gave her. Sure, she make it clearly obvious she disliked being called like that, but to such an extent? "Whoa! Whoa! Easy!." The movie actor super star brings his hands ups and starts shaking them vigorously, a nervous grin etching on his lips. "I'm just messin' with ya girl! It's me Cammy! Don't'cha remember tha' Jones??" From her expression though, she clearly doesn't. "Come on toots! You kicked a tooth outta me! It was a totally groovy fight, look I even got an implant now." Johnny flashes a grin and just as he said, he has a golden pre-molar making him look really really gangsta'
Since it looks like Momoko's fans had their fill of the girl, Jonesy motions the Capoerista prodigy to join them by waving at her with his arm. "Hey Momokins! Come say hi to my good friend Cammy!"
Cammy is not really bothered by the name at all, she's bothered by not remembering who he is. "No... I don't remember you." she tells him, the frown just deepening. "...toots? I am a professional, and on serious business, I'm not 'toots'." she adds, aggrieved.
On the other hand, he said that he liked her, and everybody else who remembered her, aside from Ibuki and maybe Guile seemed to have hated her guts. So despite her annoyance, and her already growing headache, she steps a little closer. "You know me though? We were friends?" she asks, eyes widening a little. She takes in Momoko as well, adding doubtfully, "...Momokins?", not believing for an instant that that is her real name.
"Mr. Jones?" Momoko can't remember if she knows him or not, but then it hits her when he calls her Momokins. "Oh, hey!" She grins a little, then looks to Cammy. "Hi Cammy, Momoko's pleased to meet you!" It's obvious that Momoko's quite the child-like person, but she's a prodigy all the same. "What are you doing here? Did you come to see Momoko?"
Mister Jones has met similar responses when he calls women 'toots', usually there's much slapping and purse smacking involved, but something about Cammy's reaction tells him that she's more than just offended, she looks down right confused. "Well..sure! We're totally friends!" Johnny Jones says sounding surprised and goes to scratch his ear with his pinkie finger, not quite sure what to make of the situation. It's true that they met just once, and it was a fight no less, but the only reason why Johnny Jones wouldn't really consider Cammy a good acquaintance was because they didn't see each other frequently, otherwise he knows they would have a totally funky togetherness.
"Hey, don't sweat it babe, if you're on business or something we won't bother ya, I just wanted to say what's up cuz we haven't talked in a while." Jones shrugs, thinking that Cammy is acting mighty strange but then again, she did act strange before and it's truly not of his business. Once Momoko pipes in he looks down and pets the girl's head gently, pretty much treating her like the adorable kid that she is. "Now Momokins don't be rude. It's not polite to demand to know what people are doing."
Cammy looks like she's about eighteen, if that. Nevertheless, nature has apparently granted her a surly and serious disposition for one so young, at least today, as she looks over Momoko with a faintly sour look. She's far too... happy. The ex-doll is nevertheless polite, of course, and bows her head for a moment at her in greeting. "Hello, Momoko. No, I'm afraid not." she replies gravely. "I'm actually looking for some very bad people, some thieves and criminals. I think there might be at least one in here. I'm really quite busy, trying to find them." she explains.
She offers Mr Jones a somewhat weak smile, looking over him in bemusement, wondering how she could be friends with someone quite so... funky. She's only got a memory a week old and even Cammy knows that disco is dead. She hesitantly stands up on tiptoe, to gingerly pat him on the shoulder with a gauntleted hand. "Okay... Jones..." she says experimentally, trying out his name. "Sorry about the tooth?". A gold tooth? How declasse. :(
"Bad people? You'd better get them Cammy! Momoko will cheer for you!" Momoko replies with a happy voice, before looking to Mr. Jones. "Momoko wasn't trying to be rude, Momoko was just curious as to what Cammy was doing here." She continues to refer to herself in the third person, apparently another trademark. "You said Cammy was a friend of yours, so Momoko wanted to know who Cammy was and what she does."
Since Mister Jones has his shades up and they're currently resting on his splendid afro, everyone can see him blink at Cammy's response. The gears on his mind slowly start to work as they shake off the constant rhythm of the funk and concentrate on the girl before him, eyes narrowing.
"Hah!" Said brown eyes suddenly widen as Cammy touches his shoulder and smiles up at him. The apology for knocking his tooth out so long ago goes unnoticed as it's something else that draws his attention. "You called me Jones!!" Back when they first met, Cammy made a big issue of calling Johnny by his full name.
The actor reaches up to to lightly touch Cammy's hand and furrow his eyebrows. Slowly, getting it. "You...don't remember do you?" Realixation hits him like a ton of bricks and he feels a slight shudder. "Cammy...what happened to you?"
Such concentration is broken by cute lil' Momokins who perks up and prods at her fellow dance fighter. "Hm! I see, that may be classified though. It's the usual response of military folk as far as I know." Could these bad men have anything to do with Cammy no remembering anything. "You gonna need some help with that babe? We could help out ya know? Momokins and I are bonna fide super heroes!" He winks at the Capoerista girl. "Ain't that right?"
Cammy jumps a bit when Jones explodes into enthusiasm. "I got hit on the head - by a nuclear warhead - while fighting Shadaloo." she tells him, with some faint pride. "So I've forgotten a lot. But it's okay, I'm being looked after by Delta Red. Thats why I'm getting these easy missions, hunting down Khun Min." she explains to Jones, assuming he knows what she does for a living now given he knows her.
For Queen and Country, Jones.
"I suppose my job is classified, but the targets I am hunting for at the moment are quite low on the totem pole, they are just local thieves really. Given we apparently know each other I don't think it'd be much of a security breach, me telling you about my current mission.".
"Oh yeah, that'll do it." Johnny Jones reasons that getting hit in the head with a nuclear bomb will do quite a number with your memories, yep, it sounds perfectly plausible. So he buys it! "Is that the same one that went off in China? I was in Japan when that happened and I could still see it from there." He scratches his nose "Though I was a bit distracted, what with pounding Balrog's face in and all!" And getting skewered in return he fails to mention, but he's not saying if nobody asks!
So the girl is a secret agent, that'd explain a few things about her. Johnny feels satisfied once he thinks he puts the last piece in the puzzle that is Cammy and gives a slow nod. "I see, it does look like you got it covered." Three super heroes on their case would be too much overkill for Mister Jones' liking and as such he lets Cammy do her job. "Hey! But since you're here lemme give ya my digits, just in case you ever need anything." A flashy grin and a card proudly announcing Mister Johnny Jones 'Actor and Ass Kicker Extraordinaire which he gives to Cammy. "Don't be a friggin' stranger now ya hear? This time, let's wait less than a year before talking to each other."
"Okay." Cammy replies, and reaches out to take his card. "Secret" agent she may be, but secret agents apparently don't have pockets to hide gizmos in, or anything to hide much at all really, so the card gets tucked into one of her red gauntlets. "When I'm bored next we can... uhm. I don't know.". She looks at him quizzically for a moment. "...dance? Somewhere?" she guesses, and for a moment looks down at herself. Her legs and uniform probably fit the bill for dancing, but she can't imagine anybody dancing in army boots and she's been assured thats what she wears pretty much all the time.
"If I have time, anyway. It sounds rather frivolous compared to what I'm supposed to be doing at the moment.". She assumes a suitably determined look, before giving Momoko a farewell smile. "Nice meeting your friend." she says, having lightened up a little since her more miserable start.
With that she turns and slips back into the crowd again, happy to focus upon the task at hand finally.
Momoko waves a little to Cammy. "See you later!" She then looks to Mr. Jones and says, "That was fun! You wanna dance some more?" Momoko waits, then says, "Well, when you decide, Momoko will be waiting by the stage! Bye!" She then skips off.
Whoa! Did Cammy just say she wanted to dance with Mister Jones? And she wasn't held and gun point!? "Sure! Just gimme a ring!" Says the Disco Fighter once the ex-Killer Bee goes about her very important business to apprehend criminals. "See ya later, friend! Heh.." He grins stupidly and nods to himself as he places those kickass shades back on his eyes. With Elena that makes two girls that wanna dance with him and he can't help but give himself a mental pat on the back. "Oh yeah."
Then Momoko tugs at him so they may resume their dancing. That makes three girls! Mister Johnny Jones is on a roll here! "Suuuuure! Let's keep on dancing!" Johnny does a little jig, spins on his heel and gets swaggers his way back to the stage.
Who says disco is dead??
Disco is LIFE!
