Prologue
It had been fifteen years; fifteen years since Heihachi Mishima had won the King of Iron Fist Tournament 2, defeating his evil son Kazuya. Following his victory he had cast his son's unconscious body into a volcano and had reassumed control of the Mishima Zaibatsu. He had also reformed his company practices; being especially careful to dismantle the projects that Kazuya had put in place. This had led to things calming down, a vast reduction in enemies for the Zaibatsu and, surprisingly he discovers; an increase in profit for the company. He had introduced newer practices and had also disbanded the Zaibatsu fighters; a team of martial artists who were tasked with the company's defence. In their place he established the Tekken Force, a private army which served a similar function. Heihachi was now sixty-nine, his once black hair and moustache had gone white. However he was still muscular and had lost none of his strength. He was currently reading a report on the company's latest expedition. They had been searching for a power similar to the one Heihachi had seen Kazuya wield during their last fight. Heihachi was planning to find a means to control that power so that if it was used against him again, he'd be able to counteract it.
However things were not going well; especially according to the report he was reading; apparently they had found a similar energy source in some Aztec ruins. However both teams and the Tekken Force team sent to investigate had completely vanished; their last messages all reading the same word; 'Ogre'. Heihachi had decided to discover more about Ogre and the more he found out, the more interested he became. Ogre, it turned out was an ancient being with a desire to consume strong souls to become the ultimate fighter; it was in fact and entity known as the God of Fighting. Heihachi knew that if he could gain even a fraction of Ogre's power; he would be unstoppable. The problem was catching it; Ogre had been elusive, despite appearing several times to attack and sometimes even kill great martial artists; including those who had appeared in the first two tournaments. Heihachi decided to learn more about this and so he had begun to track down people who would know about Ogre, even if it was just legends. Meanwhile he planned a way to trap the beast so he could utilize its power; but what he needed for that, was a really strong unsuspecting fighter to act as a lure.
There was silence when suddenly he heard a commotion outside and then the door opened. Takeshi walked in; now grey haired and fifty-seven. He hurried up to the desk.
"Sir, I...there's someone here, he won't..."
Just then the door opened again and Takeshi stepped aside; Heihachi froze when he saw the young man. He was no more than fifteen but he was the image of Heihachi's son.
"Who...Who are you?" Heihachi asked, in shock.
The young man glared and introduced himself. "Jin Kazama."
Heihachi remembered that name, there had been a woman named Jun Kazama in the last tournament. Jin then explained his purpose for coming to see Heihachi. It turned out that Jun Kazama was his mother; his father had been none other than Kazuya. Heihachi then learned from his unknown grandson that Jun had been attacked by Ogre and was missing; Jin believed her dead and wanted Heihachi to train him so he could find Ogre and kill the beast. Heihachi pondered this for a while and then finally made up his mind as a plan formed in his head. He agreed and from that day on he trained the young man in the Mishima Style of Advanced Karate. Jin was a quick learner and in four short years Heihachi's plan was ready, he would announce the King of Iron Fist Tournament 3, give Jin a seeded entry and gather so many powerful fighters, Ogre wouldn't be able to resist; the trap was set and Jin was the bait.
