This is my very, very, very, very, very…….uh second fanfic (I wrote my first one ages ago….but its kinda crap so this is the first I'm actually posting) but please don't go all crazyif it isnt that great ok? Well, I thought up this story BEFORE Tekken 5 was released in NZ but now that it has, I still haven't got a copyP so I'm sticking to my interpretation of what happened ok? Oh, and by the way, I don't own anything about Tekken, Namco does and the ones I do own, you'll be able to figure out so, on with the story!

Chapter 1: Close Call

It was late afternoon in Tokyo. The sun was blazing an orangey colour as it began its decent towards the horizon. At a high school, an ocean of dark blue uniforms had flowed from a giant building and was heading towards the main gate. Three figures had stayed behind at the building; two schoolgirls and a bear like figure, moving as slowly as possible; absorbing every detail of the school grounds under the soft orange light.

Xiaoyu, Miharu and Panda always loved to stay behind while the rest of the students moved hastily towards their homes. After a few minutes, Xiaoyu and Miharu were just talking about what Miharu did at their science class (A/N: This is left to your imagination D) when Miharu had noticed something. "Xiao! Your Panda!"

Miharu gasped and ran in the direction of the school building. "What is it Miharu?" Xiaoyu asked and looked back. She let out a small gasp as she saw Panda lying on the ground. She ran back and joined Miharu, who was sitting beside Panda. "I found this on Panda's shoulder," Miharu held a fluffy dart in her hand. "A tranquillizer," Xiaoyu said. "Who could've shot it?" Miharu said sounding a little worried. "I'm not sure…" Xiaoyu said, standing up and surveying their surroundings.

"We've gotta get out of here." Miharu said, standing up. "But we can't just leave Panda here!" Xiaoyu protested. "Even with both of us, we still can't move it. Our lives could be at stake here, Xiao, we have to get out of here!" Miharu argued back. "How could our lives be at stake? Panda was tranquillized, not killed." Xiaoyu yelled. "They tranquillised Panda so it'll be easier to kill us." Miharu yelled back. "You're just being paranoid, Miharu." Xiaoyu yelled. While the two were arguing, Tekken Force members erupted out of the school building and performed a fast jumpkick at the two teenage girls, catching them by surprise.

Xiaoyu and Miharu immediately got to their feet and into their fighting stance. "Get rid of the other girl," One Tekken Force member said. The others nodded. Two Force members grabbed Miharu by both arms and started dragging her towards the school gates. "Let go of me you creeps!" Miharu exclaimed as she struggled to break free of their grasps. "Miharu!" Xiaoyu exclaimed and started running towards her friend when the other two members blocked her path. Xiaoyu performed a swift kick aimed at one of the force member's heads and it connected smoothly, toppling him over. Following that, she did a front flip, which landed right on his fallen body and a few low kicks. After he had gotten up, she performed her signature palm strike, which finished him off.

After that, she just witnessed Miharu outside the school and the Tekken Force members closing the gate. Xiaoyu was about to run up to those Force members and beat them up when the other Force member did an uppercut on the unaware Xiaoyu. She yelped as the uppercut hit her right side and the attack made her stumble a little.

"Xiao!" The distant voice of Miharu at the school gates was heard. "Get out of her, Miharu," Xiaoyu said, right before a force member punched her in the stomach, reflexively clutching her stomach after the blow; the wind knocked out of her. Another member did a low sweep, tripping her up. "I'm not leaving you, Xiao!" Miharu shouted, tears forming in her eyes.

Xiaoyu sprang to her feet and performed a double palm strike she called "Flocking birds". The force members got pushed back due to the effect of the move. Xiaoyu got back into her fighting stance; ready for whatever they have to throw at her. "Just go, Miharu, GO!" Xiaoyu shouted. Miharu hesitated, and then broke into a sprint; leaving the school premises. One of the force members got up and took out a pistol. "Now is the time to run." Xiaoyu said to herself and immediately started sprinting in the opposite direction. When she heard the gunshot, she did everything she could to dodge it: cartwheeling, flipping, dive rolling, everything.

Soon she started to hear multiple shots and she knew they were from the other members. I am so dead, Xiaoyu thought to herself. After a few minutes, Xiaoyu had just performed a flip but when she tried to sprint again, she tripped up and landed on the ground. Way to go, Xiao. Now, you're definitely a goner Xiaoyu thought to herself. Xiaoyu was heavily panting from all that sprinting she did, so all she could do was turn around and wait for the inevitable. The sunlight was suddenly cut off to her as the Force members stood above her. "See you in hell, Ling Xiaoyu." A Force member said and pointed the gun at Xiaoyu's head. Xiaoyu gulped. This is it.

Xiaoyu turned her head away and put a hand up to cover her face, even though it won't do much good in protecting her. She just didn't want to see any of the damage when it was done. She heard yells of pain and then something hitting the ground. No gunshot. Xiaoyu opened her eyes to find three bodies on the ground with shurikens wedged in their necks. Xiaoyu stood up, looking for her mystery saviour. On top of the school building stood a silhouette. It spread its bug-like wings and flew down to Xiaoyu. When it landed in front of her, she recognised him to be Yoshimitsu, a King of Iron Fist tournament participant.
