Title: Against All Odds

Disclaimer: I don't own Tekken, if I did, maybe this fic would have been the storyline for Tekken 3.

Summary: 5 fighters get ready for the King of Iron Fist Tournament 3, each of which have different goals to obtain.

Pairings: Nina Williams/Jin Kazama, Hwoarang/Julia Chang, Ling Xiaoyu & Forrest Law.

Rating: M (There will be bad language and sexual scenes in this story)

Author's note: Well this is an AU fic obviously but will stay close to the Canon as the characters will exactly be like they are in the actual Tekken game. I like them that way but I will amend Ling's characteristics because personally she is a stalker in the games. Oh and of course Panda has to be with Ling. She can't go anywhere without that thing. Lol.

This is set 4 years after Jin's mother get's killed or captured by Ogre, you decide what to believe.

Oh I'm setting this fic as Jin and Nina pairing because it will be about them, mostly. But I will give the other couples a go as they come in order.
