Disclaimer: I don't own Tekken and this fic is for my enjoyment with the lore while that stupid live action Tekken movie is ruining it…Why is Harada so late at clarifying everything? He owns it and can even screw it around in the worst possible way.
Heart of Iron
Chapter 1: Kazuya Mishima
He was the world's most wanted man. He once brought the world into chaos nineteen years ago because it was the price he paid. It was the reason why he came to be. It was the reason why he sold his sold to Devil…
The man name Kazuya Mishima was a person without an existence. He was already dead after his father put him in a place no human would be so twisted to kill its own flesh and blood at. He died in the volcano.
Sitting inside his limo, he gaze at the window where Dr. Emma Kliessen being buried. It is sundown and the evening sky grooms the scene between death and depression. He was betrayed…again. He hates it, they done everything for him to get back into the living and this is the price. Doctor Emma was a good person, but Kazuya can never go back to being good because he was already dead as an evil man far too late to redeem hisself! It doesn't make sense for a person like Emma to betray a guy like Kazuya Mishima after bringing him back from the dead! The world thinks he killed Emma after ordering a raid at the G Corporation branch that betrayed him by sending JACKs to Honmaru. But, only he knows the truth behind a very good person's death. The world are imbeciles. They will never know the truth and he's been living in the lie for over 20 years because he sold his soul to Devil.
"Mr. Mishima, we're ready to depart," a man in black suit stood behind his broody boss now the head of G Corporation Japan.
"And what of Jin Kazama?" Kazuya turns with the imitating red eye dominating his current personality.
"He's dealing with a rebellion within the Zaibatsu. It's been lead by Lars Alexandersson," his man informed.
"Who is this Lars?" Kazuya raised his eyebrow in suspicion.
"We don't know who he is, but he is leading the Tekken Force that staged the rebellion," he said.
"Jin is being betrayed from within. How does it feel like being the scapegoat to fate, Jin?" Kazuya thought. He leaves a smirk of satisfaction fueling his point of view with the world. "Did you put the flowers on her gravesite?"
"Yes,"
"We're leaving now," Kazuya nodded. His betrayers are still out there, but Emma is, but a victim behind the scenes of Kazuya's Vengeance. He can't let the truth about her death be told to the world as his betrayers have more in store for him to refute his actions.
You're mourning a guilty woman.
"She was being used by my father and my betrayers. She knows everything!" Kazuya long standing feud with the devil within him is a vengeance curse that brought him back from the brick to death when he was ten.
And she's still guilty for working with them. She had it coming.
"…"
Don't think this will change your mind on my pact.
"You want the world, I wanted answer," Kazuya scoffed.
The answer is obvious. They'll stop us from achieving ultimate power! She feared you, Kazuya.
"She was just a puppet to those scoundrels that are going to use the genes to create whatever experiment I'm aware they'll bring against me," Kazuya then shout his eyes closed ignoring his 'god' literal.
"I've mistakenly got an innocent woman killed," Kazuya sighed.
There's been too much death during this pointless war with Jin Kazama. It ends now.
Meanwhile at the Zaibatsu tower…
Jin Kazama is the head of the Mishima Zaibatsu after winning the fifth Iron Fist Tournament. He's the man who slays the God of Fight name Orge. Everything started with Orge, losing the person he loved the most and then betrayed by the person he trusts.
Jin was the world's hero. He was their savior, their hope, and a role model. He was the example of a true martial artist. With the blood of both spiritually influence clans; he is liked 'the chosen one'.
Jin Kazama has betrayed the world. He started a war and left the world in confusion. He confused his friends and those who trusted him. Now he has a rebellion to squeal. They don't know anything. They don't know why he did it. They don't know the consequences of the Devil Gene. They don't know the truth about his existence. He will rid himself of his curse and his ties with the vile family he shouldn't have been born from. He hates what he has become. He hated the world for its ignorant.
If Hworang had a problem with that, then he'll just be another ignorant fool in the way of his so called 'holy' crusade. Yes, Hworang leading the pointless resistance forces while his half uncle, Lars, is leading the rebel Tekken Force that's coming down the lower level of this tower he's in sitting on the throne crossing his legs.
He and Nina are watching their every move. They've both been played by Jin Kazama's scheme.
"Why is the world so ignorant….?" Jin gave a bored glare at the HDTV.
"You tell me. I have a foolish little sister who still doesn't know when to grow up," Nina Williams, the World's Most Dangerous woman stood next to her current client.
"That reminds me of something I know for so long…." Jin thought to himself. "Have you arranged our flight to Egypt?"
"Yes, we'd be bringing the android with us right?" Nina cocked an eyebrow on the question of Alisa's use for Jin's plans.
"Wrong…" Jin stares at Alisa on the TV. She was Dr Bosconovitch finest creation, what is assuming his ideal daughter.
"Lars still thinks she's on their side," Nina voice turned ice cold when she sympathically know Lars feelings for a robot.
"Hahaha, I can't fathom the stupidity of it. It's like he's in love with a thing and not an actual person. That's why I'm asking you that question earlier," Jin looked at it all in amusement.
"I know someone else who does," Nina grunted.
"When all this is over, your debt will be paid," Jin gets up from his throne preparing for Lars arrival.
"Thanks handsome, but I'm satisfied with what I'm doing. We'll leave after we deal with our pursuers," Nina gave a wicked grin back at Jin.
"Let Lars and Hworang live, it's the robot we don't need any more. I'll have her turn against them," Jin ordered.
Nina nodded and proceeds her way to the floor elevator. Before they can take action, Jin has one more thing up his sleeve. Of course, there are still more ignorant people out there, those who are from the martial artist community. It's to announce the mock tournament in place of a 6th Iron Fist Tournament.
"Nina, give my sponsors a call that we'll let the 6th Iron Fist tournament be proceeded intermediately," Jin said.
"Sure, with the war wading down that is," Nina continue walking behind Jin till she stops. "Can't wait to see the faces of all those people we know fall for a mock tournament."
To the world it's the downfall of the Zaibatsu, but for Jin it's a dark victory to this war. He got what he wanted….
Lately, a petite Chinese girl wanders the horrors of the warring city surrounding her. After everything she's gone through with Jin, this isn't supposed to happen.
"Jin, why didn't you come to me for your problems with Heihachi and yourself?" Xiaoyu had a lot to mourn at the cost of this war.
Ling Xiaoyu was a very confused girl turning into an adult. Her life with Jin started as her being the princess and Jin being her knight in shining armor. Jin is everything a high school girl could have want for the prom. He means everything to her. It was Jin that made Xiaoyu confident in her abilities to fight. She joined the third Iron Fist Tournament to learn how to be a true marital artist with Jin. Unaware of Jin's own vengeance, she sees in him as her inspiration. She loved him.
Panda is one of the Zaibatsu's experiments, a gift from Heihachi for Xiaoyu because he knows she cares for Jin. But, Heihachi and Jin are now enemies. She's in the way of the conflict in the Mishima family because it's ruining Jin from the person he was.
"I know what he did was wrong, but even your cursed powers can be use for good…I wish can do something about this war, Panda," Xiaoyu sighed. Panda looked at her mistress in distress. To see Xiaoyu all negative is making the bear angry. Indeed an anger bear is bound to be a serious problem.
A couple of blocks away from Xiaoyu there's another girl, tomboyish by her looks. Xiaoyu's face shows a girl depressed, while Eleonor Klissen has the face of hatred. Leo's anger is understandable. A good mother been killed by one of the most ruthless men the world had known in ages. She knows Kazuya Mishima killed Emma Klissen. She doesn't have to be a detective to figure it out because Kazuya is the only evidence to her mother's death. A super cop like Lei Wulong might believe her because Lei Wulong also hates Kazuya Mishima.
"Pretend to be the hero demon. I know you're part of the reason why this war happened," Leo turns and sees a black limo heading her way towards the G Corporation building. He's here. Her suspected murder is here.
Kazuya gets out of his limo and look up at the glorious build of G Corporation Japan. It's his staging point for revival. He's been gone for more than 20 years and still the Devil wants his dues paid.
"Mishima Kazuya!"
He turns towards the first person who despises him for who he was and still is with the red eye of terror.
"So it's you, Leo…" Kazuya crosses his arms ready for whatever trash comes out of the mouth of those who misunderstand him and those who indeed hate him.
"You should have stayed dead…!" Leo scowled.
"I know," it's nothing new to Kazuya.
"Then why? Why did you do it? What have my mother done to spend her research with your evil presence!?" Leo called out his excuse.
"Did you come here just to argue with me about what your mother did before she died?" Kazuya gave an annoyed look at the daughter of the woman who isn't the problem with why the rest of G Corporation stabbed him in the back while storing all the information and genetic research of the "Devil Gene" with it.
"I think you tortured her before she died!" she accused.
"There are a lot of people being tortured. Look around you, those people suffering from a war unneeded," Kazuya turn away from her and prepare to walk his way into his building.
"You killed her and I'm going to bring you to justice!" Leo rage grew more intensified.
"What justice?" Kazuya frowned.
"Justice for an innocent life being lost!" she throw a left punch at the despicable looking red eye and Kazuya easily dodged it, but that's the first move she made.
She wishes to be with her mother. So be it.
"She doesn't know anything…what could I had done to find out the bastards plotting to betray me before realizing Emma was there?" Kazuya told Devil.
He doesn't have time for this girl's inciting behavior, but vengeance is understandable to Kazuya Mishima.
"Go back to her grave," Kazuya forced Leo's balance by giving an electrifying elbow thrust, the first warning of his power.
"You first!" She recovered quickly from the blow back.
"I've already visited. Do you still want to waste your life against the powers you'll never understand, girl?" Kazuya asked. He could have given her another warning. But, there are already too many deaths, why bring the daughter of Emma Klissen in it?
"….."
He turns back to his destination.
"I'll see you at the tournament!" with that Leo leaves to prepare for her vengeance.
"The tournament, eh. So, Jin now wants to toy along these people by holding a game. I know he's up to something. But, holding a 6th Iron Fist Tournament is speculation," Kazuya thought.
The war is winding down nowadays. He plays cat and mouse with Jin on the helicopter while he cruising on his motorcycle. Chuckling at those moments, it's a very father and son moment to him.
Why held a tournament when he's not going to participate in it? With that in question, he arrives at the elevator. There's much work to be done and the clean up crew are coming to incarnate the garbage his troublesome son threw at him. He already acknowledge Jin's prowess, but it's time to get the other half back from Jin. That is his objective.
Leo looks to be an interesting opponent, but her inexperience will lead to her demise if he decides to participate in the tournament because of her. He doesn't want to kill Emma's girl, but Leo demands answers to what is going on. Now he thinks about it, someone must deal with the tournament affairs. He has the right person for the job.
Too many deaths.
Deaths are immensely emitted. Stop mourning that woman.
"She didn't deserve to die," Kazuya grunted.
You instigate the raid.
"It was necessary!" Kazuya had control over the Devil influence, but Devil's voice is still in his head.
He's been visiting Emma's cemetery during the entire war to resolve an accident no one believes.
Kazuya Mishima is a misunderstanding guy. A guy still scarred by a terrible childhood that should never have happened. That girl reminds him of how angry he was with his father, how angry he knew everything that happened the day before he was thrown off that cliff. But that is another story.
He heads into the hallway of the top floor leading to his office. It's going to be a long night and tomorrow he'll wait for Jin's next move while assigning the only person he would trust with the task of entering the tournament. He knows Jin will never give up the Zaibatsu to anyone and rather continue messing around with it till Heihaichi returns to take back the throne. However, should the opportunity to take back the Zaibatsu apply, then it's optional for 'her' to take it when he's done with Jin and Hehachi.
A cheerful voice came when he entered his office.
"How many times are you going to keep visiting her grave when I know you didn't mean what you've done? It was going to happen any second. I know the kind of people who double cross you for their own interior motives. I've been betrayed too, Kazuya," Anna Williams is the last person who would want to betray him.
"Do you want to go with me next time?" Kazuya asked as he takes off his purple jacket and relief the stress of brooding hisself.
"Yes, only if you agree to have me bring my nephew. He has to know the truth about her death too?" Anna scantily presence is unusual for the common eye, but Kazuya has no problem with it. She's elegance, but they know each other since the first tournament. She didn't join Kazuya just to gloat at her looks. He has Bruce joining him to lead a private army, but Anna's occupation is something suitable only for her. No, she's not Nina. She never wanted to be what her sister became, but their rivalry gotten worse as she now sat erotically on the table.
"He'll never believe who his real father is," Kazuya words denied Anna's hopes of bringing Steve.
"I didn't know at first, but I thought you planned to put Nina in the cynotech. What happened? How did she get surgerically impregnate?" Anna crosses her arms with her breast firmly dominate her own personality.
"I was dead before such an idea like that occur. If I did it, you wouldn't be siding with me right now," Kazuya sat down on his chair now with the two of them accommodating.
"Oh hush. I wanted to be by your side since you beat Heihachi. Do you remember how it went? He nearly killed me trying to taunt you over your willingness to fight him after. I don't know what happened between you two, but when I wake up on my bed where Lee brought me back to my apartment, he told me, you threw that dirty bastard to the ravine," Anna smooth her hands moving near Kazuya's.
I can't believe you had the nerve to allow that girl back into your life after that wretched Kazama.
"Who cares, she never betrayed me. Now stop involving yourself in my private affairs with people and wait until we confront Jin," Kazuya urged.
"Kazuya"
He's still looking at Anna's face while his thoughts are deeply conflicted with Devil. If only Anna can see spirits…
"I still remember, Anna. And thanks, because of you, I won," Kazuya gave his trademark satisfying face of victory.
We! It was you and I, this woman doesn't know anything about your…
"My what?" Kazuya dared Devil to reveal it.
….
"There's so much I wanted to talk to you about since you were dead…." Anna sighed.
"I have time, Anna. Tomorrow, I'll be giving you a very important task," Kazuya is now about to reveal his assignment for Anna.
"Do you want to talk about it now? I mean…about…," Anna don't know if it is the right time to tell Kazuya about Jun. It's the central point to Jin Kazama becoming an instable person. She was in the cyno sleep because of Nina, but was unaware of Kazuya ever having a relationship with a woman, one such woman she fought before the child was born.
"If it's about being a burden with me, that's nothing of concern. As long as your flirtatious antics aren't an act of betrayal. I expect your usefulness at gathering information, I know you're best at going inside while Bruce goes outside," Kazuya serious tone is always her favorite part about him. Serious, stoic, and intimidating is the traits of Kazuya Mishima. Just like her sister…
"So, what do you want me to do right now?" Anna got off the table and stood with her left hand on her hips and her face changing that to a kunoichi awaiting her master's command.
"Nothing," Kazuya put his legs on the table and fold both of his hands on the back of his head resting.
"That's boring…" Anna waved her hand.
"It's boring that Jin isn't revealing his true goal. This war is already boring me to death," Kazuya said.
"I thought you want to take over the world," Anna cocked her eyebrow thinking of what Kazuya's true motives are.
Now she's talking in my language.
"….."
"I have patient woman. It's a big showdown for the fate of the Mishima clan," Kazuya put a bad ass smile.
"If only I were a Mishima…" She turns away from Kazuya and heads out toward the door.
"You can spend the night here," Kazuya offered.
"No, I don't want to…annoy you. So please, let me have my own privacy," Anna thankfully declined and prepares to leave.
"Hm" She was the youngest participant in the first tournament….that was a milestone accomplishment till Jin's 'girlfriend' became the youngest in the third tournament.
He's alone now. Like it always has been in his life, alone.
