Note: The story takes place six months after Tekken 3. I'm just a new fan of Tekken and I am only familiar with Tekken Tag Tournament. So if I get any of the character's backgrounds messed up, then I'm sorry. I just want to let you know ahead of time before you read on. This is only to caution you.
Seed
of the Unknown:
A story based on Tekken Tag Tournament
Prologue
The old man gazed longingly into the fire. Something troubled his mind
and therefore he could not sleep. He sat with his hands resting on his kneecaps
and his back erect. He looked like an Indian bonding with the fire. When he
couldn't sleep, neither could his student. She peeked through the crack of the
curtains that offered the room its privacy. Concerned eyes studied the aged man,
her mind contemplating over the reason why her master look sodden. The young
apprentice thought she could leave unnoticed, but the elder knew she was
standing there. He called out to her.
"Xiaoyu."
The girl jerked. "Here," she said, once over the surprise.
"Sit where I can see you."
She obeyed, placing herself before him, copying his posture and waited
permission to speak.
It seemed nearly an eternity before the master spoke. Xiaoyu's eyelids
were nearly closed by the time he talked to her. "The winds have changed and
they carry angry spirits. Constantly, they speak to me and forbid me to rest."
"Do you know what has angered them," she politely asked.
"They will not tell me," he replied simply, "but they keep
repeating a name."
Xiaoyu remained silent. She awaited further explanation.
"Naya…Naya." Wang mimicked.
"Who?"
"A girl born of the Unknown. She has the power to determine
everyone's fate. Naïve and innocent, it will be easy for her to fall into the
hands of evil. If the wicked control her, there is no hope, but if good saves
her in time, then all will be well. However, at all costs, she must remain
alive. There are those who wish her dead, but they are blind to the outcome. The
life of all earth's defenses will die with her."
Xiaoyu sat silent. She had no reply to match her master's chilling
message. However, she was not oblivious to Wang's cry for help.
"What is it you wish me to do?"
A pause and then, "Find her. Find her before they do."
Xiaoyu stood and respectfully bowed to her master. He was giving her the
final test. After thirteen years of learning to master Hika-Shen, Xiaoyu was
ready to prove herself. She was proud that Wang felt she was ready. Xiaoyu
wanted to cry out with excitement, but contained herself. You haven't done
anything yet so don't get excited. She told herself. The best time to
get worked up would be at the end. Yet, like everyone else's trials, she
didn't know where to start.
