Vega. He was known as the handsomest man in the world and lived by the philosophy that beauty is strength. If this is the rule then he is invincible. Vega spent many hours a day admiring his handsome reflection in the mirror and reminding himself that he was the product of absolute perfection. No one could come close to his beauty.

"I am indeed the handsomest man in the world."

Today Vega was given an order from high command. To find the traitor Cammy White and eliminate her. If Cammy were to ever regain her old memories, it could prove to be most dangerous for Shadowlaw.

"So my lord Bison wants me to kill the beautiful Cammy? It's such a pity to eliminate someone of such beauty."

With that said Vega put on his trusty claws, used in so many assassination missions, and protected his handsome face with a white mask. He waited until night has fallen before he would make his move.

Cammy was all alone in her cottage. She decided to get away from the city and the pressures from work. She hated being questioned about her past when she herself doesn't remember. "Why can't I remember who I was? It's as if someone had brainwashed my mind. Why is this happening to me? Why?" Cammy rubbed her cheek. She couldn't even remember where she got her scar from.

"Are you wondering where you got your ugly scar from? You can thank my friend here." It was Vega and the friend he was referring to was his claws. Vega had broken in to Cammy's cottage and by order of Shadowlaw have come to kill Cammy. Without warning, Vega hacked at Cammy's face with his claws slapping her back.

"Cannon spike!" Cammy tried to fight back but she couldn't match Vega's speed and was returned with another claw strike at her torso region. "OWWWW!" Another claw strike from Vega and yet another until Cammy was too weak from the loss of blood that all she could do was simply lay there on the floor motionless. Her blood slowly stained the carpet as she waited for the end. "What are you waiting for? Go on and kill me." Cammy closed her eyes and waited for Vega to slit her throat with his claws.

"I can't do it. I can't kill someone so beautiful." Vega looked at Cammy's dripping blood on his claws and as he removed his mask, he licked the blood off of his claws. "Sweet." Vega gently rubbed his claws on Cammy's cheek before he bends down and kisses Cammy's face. If only he wasn't a soldier for Shadowlaw then things would be different for him and Cammy. "Senorita Cammy. Leave the country because my lord Bison wants you dead. You see your past lies with Shadowlaw and if you were to regain your memory it could cause us lots of problems. I was sent to eliminate you but I couldn't go through with the job. I will tell Bison that I failed the mission but you must escape now." With that said Vega walks toward the open window and jumped down to the ground. He left Cammy all alone with a lot to think about.

"Vega?" Cammy tried to think hard, forcing herself to remember the past but couldn't. In a strange way she liked that Vega. He was handsome, perhaps even the handsomest man in the world, and hoped that some day in the near future she would see him again but for now she took his threat about Shadowlaw seriously and made plans to leave. Leave back to the safety of the British Intelligence and complete her Special Forces training. Maybe when she finds a way to defeat Bison, her memory will return and she can finally learn more of this mysterious Vega. Hopefully the next time they meet it will be under friendlier circumstances.
