Chapter 1: Prologue

Ryu Hayabusa had just slain the dreaded tengu Gohyakumine Bankotsubo. On his way back to the Mugen Tenshin village, he suddenly saw what a winged figure in the distance flying towards his designated destination.

Hayabusa [thoughts]: Is that...a demon! There's no time to waste!

Hayabusa rushes to the village in a hurry, worried that the demon may be incredibly powerful. Many of the shinobi attempt to take on the demon, but are quickly overwhelmed and tossed aside with ease. He finally arrived and saw that the attacker had black wings, horns in his head, and tattoos across his body. This "demon"…was Devil Jin.

Hayabusa: For your crimes against my friends, you shall feel the wrath of the Dragon Sword!

Devil Jin: You think that sword will slay me?

Hayabusa then drew his sword and prepared to slay Devil Jin, only for Devil Jin to block it with his gauntlets and counter by knocking the sword away. The two battle, with Hayabusa struggling to do any major damage to Devil Jin. Eventually, Devil Jin grows bored of the battle and decides to leave. Hayabusa grabs the Dragon Sword and leaps into the air, desperate to stop Devil Jin.

Hayabusa: I will not allow you to escape alive, Devil!

He slashes his sword rapidly at Devil Jin, unable to even lay a scratch on him.

Devil Jin: Pitiful.

Devil Jin then flips and kicks Hayabusa down. As he falls rapidly in the air, Devil Jin unleashes his devil beam. Hayabusa barely dodges it and manages to land on his feet nearby the village. The beam, however, strikes the village and causes considerable damage to the surrounding temples. Devil Jin then flees and moves on to another area of the forest as fires erupt from the temples.


Not too far from the Mugen Tenshin village, Kasumi and her brother, Hayate, who had just suffered amnesia, are sitting together in a small cave nearby a waterfall. Hayate tells his sister about all of his happenings.

Hayate: I can hardly remember what DOATEC had done to me, but from my brief glimpses of it, I saw suffering. When I escaped, a girl, Hitomi, found me and nursed me back to health. I couldn't remember anything or even my name, so she called me Ein. Were it not for her, I would be lost...and I never would have been reunited with you. Now I can return back to our clan.

Kasumi: Brother, I...

Hayate: In fact...you shall return with me. It is because of you that I regained my memories. Our father would be so proud of you for saving me. I bet he'll make you the eighteenth master. It'll be wonder...

Kasumi: Brother!

Hayate sees that Kasumi now appears saddened.

Hayate: What it is, sister?

Kasumi: I...I can't go back.

Hayate: Wha...why not?

Kasumi gets up and looks away from Hayate, not wishing for him to see her shame.

Kasumi: I left the village in order to avenge you. I am a runaway shinobi now.

Hayate stands up in complete disbelief.

Hayate: I can't believe...you endangered your own life in order to avenge my defeat. And now that you're a runaway shinobi, they'd...they'd kill you. If not, then they'd tell me to hunt you down. They'd even send Ayane...but...no...no, she wouldn't...

Kasumi: Ayane hates me...my best friend...my sister. And who knows what my father and the village think of me.

Kasumi breaks down and falls to her knees.

Kasumi: I've done nothing but brought shame to our clan. I might as well go back for my dishonor. I deserve no mercy.

Hayate then walks over to her and gets down on his knees.

Kasumi: Fine...we won't go back to the village. I'm not Hayate anymore...I'm Ein. We'll leave them behind...I'll go back to Hitomi's dojo...and you can start a new life.

Hayate then places his hands over Kasumi's.

Hayate: I don't care what they think about me. I will never put my duties before you. If they want me dead too...then let them try.

Kasumi: Brother, I...I...

They are interrupted when they see Devil Jin blocking the moon.

Hayate: What is that?

Devil Jin then spots the cave and flies towards it. He swoops down and grabs Hayate by the neck, holding him up as he tries to break free of his grasp.

Kasumi: Let him go!

Kasumi then strikes Devil Jin in retaliation, causing him to drop Hayate.

Hayate: No Kasumi! Run!

Kasumi: I won't leave you again, brother!

Both Kasumi and Hayate charge at Devil Jin and attack him from both sides. At first, Devil Jin is actually struggling and Kasumi and Hayate manage to land a few hits against him, with one of Hayate's punches sending him into a wall.

Devil Jin: Now you will feel the wrath of God!

Devil Jin then flies at them so fast that neither of them can react and quickly kicks Kasumi away and grabs Hayate. He slams Hayate's face into a wall, phasing him. Kasumi then runs for the cave, but as Hayate struggles, Devil Jin punches him in the head. Hayate is knocked unconscious and flies out of the cave, across the ground, and into the river, where he is dragged off by the currents down the waterfall.

Devil Jin: How laughable!

Kasumi: You monster!

Kasumi then charges at Devil Jin and battles with him. Devil Jin easily blocks her attacks and then grabs a hold of Kasumi.

Devil Jin: I shall take my time with you.

Devil Jin rapidly attacks Kasumi, knocking her into walls. Kasumi has been pushed to near-death, barely able to move at all. She tries one desperate attack on Devil Jin, but he knocks her into the river, towards the waterfall. It seems that Kasumi will fall, but then Devil Jin grabs her by the throat.

Devil Jin: Your feeble life will end when I wish it to, pathetic worm!

As Kasumi begins to suffocate, Devil Jin suddenly feels weak.

Devil Jin: No...it...it cannot be! GET OUT OF MY HEAD!

Devil Jin then realizes that his time is short and so he throws Kasumi down the waterfall and quickly flies off. Struggling to keep altitude, he falls down, hitting many trees, and eventually lands on the ground.


Meanwhile, at Hon-Maru, Heihachi and Kazuya awaken after being defeated by Jin Kazama. G Corporation aircrafts hover nearby and dropped off Jack-4's. The Jack's attack both of them, seeming programmed to take both of them out. Kazuya and Heihachi unite as father and son until Kazuya betrays him and throws him into the horde, whom quickly tackle Heihachi.

Heihachi: Kazuya!

Kazuya flees as Heihachi struggles to get free from the Jack-4's as one of them reveals a timer in it's head, signaling that it's set to self-destruct and eliminate him. Before the timer can hit zero, a small dart hits the Jack-4 on the head, which suddenly causes it to short-circuit and deactivate. Raven, watching the proceeding from a far-off mountain, sees a lone sniper in the distance put down it's rifle, and take out a remote.

Raven [thoughts]: Who is that? And what is that?

The moment the sniper clicks it, an EMP blast emerges from the dart, which deactivates all of the Jack-4's and sends the G Corporation aircrafts out of control and crashing to the ground. The shockwave approaches Raven.

Raven [thoughts]: The last thing I need is no way to contact my superiors.

A lone Jack-4 tries to attack Raven, who then leaps over it as the wave touches the Jack, causing it to deactivate and fall off the cliff. The wave then disappears and a huge airship emerges from above. Heihachi shrugs off the inactive Jack's and prepares for battle as soldiers enter the temple. Before they can open fire, a voice can be heard.

?: Hold your fire! We wouldn't want to harm our guest, now would we?

The soldiers stand down and then separate. Behind them emerges a man in a white suit with blonde hair and his face hidden by the shadows.

Heihachi: Who in the hell are you?

?: I am Victor Donovan. Now I'd like to ask you to come with us.

Heihachi: Why should I trust you?

Donovan: Because it was I that stopped G Corporation from demolishing this place and killing you.

Heihachi: Please. The Mishima's are unstoppable.

Donovan: Perhaps so, but with respect, those Jack's overtook you. And it would be in your best interests to be far from here before they send in even more of them. And personally, I don't believe you will make it far enough on foot.

Heihachi: Very well then.

Heihachi accepts and follows him and his men into the airship. Raven then activates his headset and contacts his agency.

Raven: Raven here. The G Corporation attack on Hon-Maru failed. They were stopped by an EMP blast of some sort. Heihachi is now being escorted by a small battalion into an airship. What are my orders?

Agency: Follow them. Figure out what they're up to, then report back.

Raven: Understood. Raven out.

Raven turns off his headset and leaps onto the airship unseen as it takes off and heads higher into the sky.

Raven [thoughs]: Who is this man? Why would he go to so much trouble just to save Heihachi? What is he planning?
