Author's Notes: What's good peeps! I hope you all are well and enjoy my latest Tekken fic about Nina Williams! Please read and review, and lookout for another installment of The Cursed Blood coming shortly!

The first thing that Nina Williams felt was the sensation from coldwater as it met her face. Opening her eyes as she began to cough, the lone warrior found herself tied upside down with nothing on but her bra and panties and the wetness dripping down her face. Slowly coming to, Nina took a glance at her surroundings and instantly noticed four brutish men clad in dress-suits standing in front of her. The next thing she experienced was the sharpness of a slap from another man as her face changed into a frown.

"Ha! So you have finally awoken Ms. Williams! It's almost bittersweet that you did." The one who had attacked her called out. He was now pacing back and forth as the four others and Nina herself kept eyes on him.

"What do you mean by bittersweet?" Nina questioned him as she raised an eyebrow. After she asked, he gave a light laughter and his four other confidants snickered as well.

"Bittersweet in the sense that we cannot marvel at your beautiful body anymore, since it is time for business. Trust me, if you had not awoken at the time that you did we would have eviscerated you in every pleasurable way we knew how." The man told her as a sly smirk crept to his face. In all of his rambling, Nina just tuned him out and took a better glimpse at where she was and her captors. All of them Asian and it appeared that they were all in what looked like a parking garage. Strangely enough she saw a weird device that fit like a choker adorned on her neck, and it puzzled her about what it actually was.

"Wow...I am flattered, but can you tell me the reason why you have me here against my will?" Nina once again questioned as the Asian man prepared to talk again.

"Do you remember where you are?" he counter-asked.

"Yes, this is Hong Kong. I came here for some relaxation, I was in my hotel room sleeping soundly, and now I am here." Nina explained in her usual stoic voice.

"Well Ms. Williams it was these four gentlemen to my right who brought you here; under my orders of course. You see, I have a proposition for you." The man said as Nina began to listen intently. "With you being one or if not the most deadly assassins in the world, you are the only one who can bring down the man known as the Silver Dragon."

Hearing that name made the woman's eyes bulge a bit, but she kept her demeanor firm as she listened to him continue the conversation.

"For quite a few years the Silver Dragon and his crime ring have been stealing priceless artifacts and resources before my smuggling ring could. In some odd way, he always stays a step ahead of us, and now he has become wealthy from off of our riches. So, I need you to do what you do best and take him out of the picture." The man said as Nina took in everything he explained.

"And how would I benefit from this venture?" Nina asked him. With that said, the man began to snicker once more. Little did he know, this bought the assassin time to unloosen the tied up ropes.

"I am glad that you asked. Well it's quite simple Ms. Williams, should you not complete this task, you will die. Take notice of that wonderful contraption around your neck. It is now 11:57 pm, in three minutes that timebomb will activate giving you twenty-four hours to track down the Silver Dragon and kill him. If you don't bring back his head to me in the allotted time, you will perish as the bomb explodes." The man finally told her. After he finished his last sentence, Nina broke free of the ropes and flipped back on her feet to the ground.

Jumping upwards, she put all of her might into one kick and sent one of the bulky henchmen straight toward a parked car. Getting into fighting stance, Nina dodged slow punches by the next guard and quickly launched her patented "Blonde Bombshell" technique and knocked the wind from out him. Two more ready to pounce on her, Nina made it to the floor and landed a handspring kick knocking the beefy guard's head on a car bumper while she easily elbow-smashed the last one and continued with a devastating kick.

All of the guards fallen and licking their wounds, Nina gave a slick smirk at the remaining man as she grabbed him by his collar and landed a backhand across his face. Still holding onto him, Nina raised her hand to strike him again but he pulled out a small black trinket and held it toward the assassin making her stop.

"You hit me again, and you're pretty little head and golden hair will go kaboom." The man said dangerously low as he licked the blood from the side of his lip. Nina just shook her head at him and let him go free from her grip.

"A very persuasive man you are…what is your name?" Nina asked as she folded her arms.

"Call me Mr. Kasagano. Take this cell phone while you're at it." Mr. Kasagano said as he threw the phone at Nina who caught it. "I'll keep in touch with you Ms. Williams. Don't disappoint me, it'd be a shame to see a woman of your…style, die." He continued as he smirked.

Suddenly, the timebomb around Nina's neck began to activate, and little red numbers signifying the time left began to show as well. Noticing a parked motorcycle near a fallen guard, Nina hopped on it and started to rev it up as she sped from out of the garage and into the midnight locale of Hong Kong. All the while, Mr. Kasagano still kept that smirk as he watched Nina Williams begin her new assignment against time.
