Prologue

Amidst the tall buildings of Tokyo, Japan, there was a building that stood out amongst all the others. It was a large skyscraper with a massive company logo decorating the roof. The building proudly advertised itself as the main Japanese headquarters of the multi-national business giant corporation, the Mishima Zaibatsu. The Mishima Zaibatsu was a unique company in that it offered almost every service and business in the world. The company was known to possess hi-tech research labs capable of producing almost anything, be it medical or scientific devices, even weapons. Many years ago this company was run by the legendary business man, Jinpachi Mishima; however, twenty-three years ago Jinpachi vanished in mysterious circumstances. Following the disappearance, Jinpachi's son, Heihachi Mishima took control of the company. Under Heihachi's control the company began to become corrupt, it focused more on creating weapons and military hardware and some of the experiments that began to be carried out bordered on being illegal. However no action was taken against the Zaibatsu due to their vast amount of money and their incredibly skilled lawyers. Also, for protection Heihachi had hired eight of the best fighters in the world, to serve as his personal bodyguards. Heihachi however hid a dark secret, one that began twenty-six years ago and became even darker twenty-one years ago. The secret had a name and that name, was Kazuya Mishima. Heihachi had always desired a strong heir to take over the Zaibatsu when he died, but Kazuya was considered soft and weak. Disgusted by this Heihachi resorted to treating the boy brutally to toughen him up, to no avail. Twenty-one years ago, much like his grandfather, Kazuya mysteriously disappeared. There were witnesses who claimed Heihachi had thrown his son off a cliff, but before a murder charge could be brought against him the witnesses also disappeared. Shortly after Kazuya's death Heihachi's wife died, leaving him as the last known surviving Mishima.

Heihachi was currently sitting in his office, casually examining a company stock report. As usual the Zaibatsu had outdone and outclasses all its opponents. Heihachi was a tall muscular man of fifty-two; he had spiked back black hair with a shaved top as well as a black moustache and black eyes. He was clad in a dark business suit. Despite his age he was an excellent fighter, being a master at Mishima Style Karate, a more damaging version of regular karate. As he finished reading the report he heard a knock at the door and then it opened, his aide, a forty year old dark haired man named Takeshi, entered. He was carrying a medium sized envelope as he approached the desk.

"Takeshi?" Heihachi greeted him cautiously, his eyes on the envelope. Takeshi handed it to him, "Sir, I think you should see this."

Heihachi opened the envelope and perused the contents, he looked up at Takeshi.

"Are you certain all this is genuine?" Takeshi nodded and Heihachi smirked, "Perfect."

He looked down again at the contents of the envelope. The first was a picture showing a young man of twenty-six, he was tall and muscular with black spiked back hair and black eyes. He was dressed in a pair of torn denim jeans, a torn white T-shirt and black boots. The other contents were information regarding the figure in the picture, including details from several fight tournaments. The figure had fought in one hundred tournaments and won ninety-nine of them, the last ended in a draw. More importantly, Heihachi recognized the figure.

"So…Kazuya, you've finally made your move." He muttered as he looked at the picture of his son again.

It was clear to Heihachi that Kazuya was trying to draw Heihachi's attention so he could get revenge.

'The question is; how do I see just how strong he has become?' Heihachi pondered.

It was then an idea occurred to him and he smirked widely.

"Takeshi, make a note, I want an announcement to be made as soon as possible." He stated, Takeshi nodded, "Yes sir."

The following day the announcement went out around the world, at the same time Heihachi put some of his other carefully calculated plans into motion, utilizing his own personal fighters. So the world soon heard that the Mishima Zaibatsu would be sponsoring the greatest fighting tournament ever, the King of Iron Fist Tournament. Several qualifying matches were held all over the world. Only the final eight would qualify to participate in the actual tournament, held in the main arena in Japan. These eight would fight Heihachi's eight bodyguards before fighting through the tournament until only one remained. They would then have a choice at the prize; they could either accept the prize money which amounted to 79,290,315,697.59 Yen, the equivalent of one billion US dollars. The alternative was to give up the money all together and challenge Heihachi to a final fight, the winner would get the Mishima Zaibatsu itself. Heihachi knew that these prizes would draw a lot of fighters, particularly Kazuya, as it would give him a chance to fight and claim revenge. Eventually Heihachi received word that the eight fighters had finally been decided, Kazuya was amongst them. Also entering was a ninja called Yoshimitsu, the leader of the Manji Clan, a Robin Hood style band of thieves. Nina Williams, an Irish female assassin, likely ou to fulfil a contract on Heihachi, he had lost count of the number of death threats he had received. Other fighters included a young martial arts expert called Marshall Law, a hot-headed street fighter called Paul Phoenix. As per Heihachi's request, the Russian branch of the Zaibatsu had sent in their Cyborg JACK for testing against the prototype. The final two entrants were a luchadore wrestler named King and a young woman named Michelle Chang. All had their own purposes for entering, but as far as Heihachi was concerned, it was Kazuya who was the most important. The plan had worked perfectly, now it was time for the end game.

The King of Iron Fist Tournament was about to begin.
