Chapter 1:The name is Ray

Disclaimer: Everyone belongs to namco except Ray and Mai which belong to me

The King of Iron Fist tournament was so cool, I always wanted to

participate

in that tournament. I loved the fighting and the people who were in it,

especially this one dude, his name was Kazuya I think. He had this one

look

like he hated you, even if you did not know him. The guy was good at

fighting no doubt. One thing is for sure, I didn't like the way he or

Heihachi, Kazuyas father, runs the Mishima Zaibatsu. I worked there

once and

got kicked out because Heihachi said that my crew was complaining about

my

skill of work. That was not right because I was very good at the job I

was

given. I had to explain how we run the tournament and were fights

would be

held, I knew my crew would be jealous of my work and ideas. I guess

they

thought "What better way to get rid of that know it all!"Man, they made

me

so sick, especially one person, Dr. Abel. He's always talking about how

my

work not as content or that my work was too good. Mishima Zaibatsu ran

my

last nerves! That is why I've been training at my dojo home practicing

my

self taught moves. I knew if I could just hit them were it hurts,

they'll be

sorry they ever had crossed me. That is right folks I'm entering the

KOIF

tournament. I was not entering alone. I knew my cousin would enter, I'm

not

one-hundred percent on that. That was not until I received a big phone

call

from Mai, my oh so friendly, yet surprising cousin.

Phone rings.

Ray: Hello?

Mai: Hey!

Ray: You sound happy. What up?

Mai: You know that KOIF tournament coming up?

Ray: What about it?

Mai: I'm entering it.

Ray: I knew you were going to do that, it just so happens that I am

entering

as well.

Mai: What skill you have, you do know that MZ won't let you in that

tournament.

Ray: I know I got fired, but I'm pretty sure that Heihachi or Kazuya,

whoever is running it this year will let me in. They think that I'm

some

kind of bug waiting to be stepped on.

Mai: Just hope that none of the fighters in the tournament, including

me,

will use bug spray and wipe you out quick.

Ray: Very funny! To me, it looks like we are in for some kind of treat

this

year.

Mai: We'll turn your T.V. on it seems like the MZ trying to put out the

message.

For that instant second I rushed to my couch, grabbed the remote, and

pressed the little ON button, and not to my surprise, I saw a familiar

and

ugly face upon my five-thousand dollar T.V. set. He looked serious and

as

normally he was talking trash.

Heihachi: You, yes you can enter the King Of Iron Fist tournament. Do

you

think you have what it really takes to run the Mishima Zaibatsu and of

course, beat me!? If any of you lowlifes want to come and get beaten

for

5,000 gil then get your registration at the Mishima military compound.

Now,

lets cut to the chase. Kazuya, I know you are out there, you will never

awaken the-*click*.

Ray: Seems like Heihachi likes the camera, but the camera hates him.

Mai: He looks ugly than before. Why would they want to post the

registration

at a military compound?

Ray: I wanna know that too, but it does not seem as important.

Mai: Then, what is?

Ray: Winning and making sure you don't get near the Mishima Zaibatsu.

Mai: Well....good luck to you too. Anyways I just wanted to tell you

that I

am entering. I have some plans to spice up the Mishima Zaibatsu.

Ray: What are you possibly thinking of doing, hiring couple of guys you

consider "cute"to work for you, or are you going to make Jin Kazama be

your

boyfriend before Ling Xiouyu wins the tournament and beats you to it.

Mai: Shut up! I am actually going talk to Ling and make her my

co-manager,

to see if she and I can give the MZ some fun into it.

Ray: Like make another amusement park?

Mai: Great idea!

Ray: I was joking.

Mai: Figures.....well are you going to register tomorrow?

Ray: Meet you at the military compound?

Mai: See you there?

Ray: You bet.

Mai: Cool, later.

Ray: Yea, bye!

As I hung up I thought I should go train some more in my dojo room. I'm

gonna need a lot of strength and focus. Ladies and gentlemen, it looks

like

I'm gonna fight for just more than the Mishima Zaibatsu....or so it

seems.
