Chapter 1: Off to the Internet
At the Tekken 7: Fated Retribution game, all of the Tekken characters were participating the eulogy of the death of Heihachi Mishima who was killed at the hands of his own son, Kazuya Mishima in their final showdown as the announcer of the game announces the 10-bell salute in honor of his death.
"Ladies and Gentlemen, to honor the life of Heihachi Mishima would you please rise to hold the bell 10 times."
Everyone is gathered to hear the 10-bell salute, Lars, Lee and Alisa were watching the turn of the events since Kazuya was the one who killed his own father.
"What a bore? Do we have to participate to hear the 10 bell rings?" Lee complained which Lars sighs.
"Jin hasn't been showed up since we scolded him for sneaking out on us."
"He should be there by now." Alisa said which Lee tells them.
"It's pathetic that Kazuya killed his own father with his own two hands and now this war never stops because of him."
At the Surge Hideaway, Jin and Keith visits Koji Masuda and his daughter Yoko Kishibojin to ask them to take refuge for the Time Crisis characters.
"So that explains it... the rail gun from the game is broken and their game got unplugged. Unlucky for us, we got our game destroyed by the other game's magical powers."
"Mr. Masuda, don't compare yours to them. I'll let the goalie to search for the rail gun so that their game will be fixed." Jin said knowing of their problems which Keith begs Koji for refuge.
"Please, we really need to take refuge. Except for the drugged soldiers including Wild Dog's drudges."
"Hmm... With that guerilla attire sounds like Godhand would even wear that. My daughter is known to assist anyone because she was an Interpol Police Agent. All right, we'll let you take refuge unless they're not causing a lot of trouble."
"Thank you very much, Koji Masuda. I appreciate it."
Back at the Game World Station, Luke shows Roberto the rail gun they need which it will be bought in e-Bay.
"The rail gun can be bought on the malls in our place."
"Not in your game. It's a real life thingy. If you wanna buy that you have to get through the internet to pay for it."
"The internet. You mean the Wi-Fi."
"I think this is only way we can fix their game." Jin arrives along with Keith as he states. "To buy that rail gun."
"Keith, have you already found something?" Catherine asked which Keith replies.
"Don't be worry, because we have some company once we take refuge. It would be fun."
"So what do we get through the internet?" Roberto asked which Jin answers.
"We need to discuss this first in Tappers."
At the Tappers bar, both Jin, Roberto and Daigo were discussing about how to get through the internet.
"So that's why you became late to face me in battle, Miura. I wouldn't expect that game was broken."
"Our problem is, that guard who guards every single game we appeared is always checking the place. He says that going to the internet is dangerous. But we have to save the Time Crisis game."
"If you're going to the internet, then I do." The long haired brunette faces the trio with many tattoos on his head, chest and arms and became outspoken to see them.
"Kinda reminds me that I have those when my Devil Gene took over me on the fourth game." Jin remarked about the man's tattoos which Roberto amused to his looks.
"He looks cool with tattoos."
"You people don't even noticed this guy along with two other peep shows." Venom arrives to see them which he introduced the three of them. "These three guys were from The Bouncer game."
"Bouncer?" Roberto nods in confusion.
"What's the bouncer?" Daigo asked which Venom smirks politely.
"Bouncers who worked as bodyguards in every bars in town. They were also the one to prevent any forms of trouble such as party crashing and bar brawling."
"Just like how Miguel would start a brawl anyway." Jin remarked about Miguel Caballero Rojo as Venom tells them.
"But those three men, they're no ordinary bouncers. They were some sort of a vigilantes were task themselves to rescue a friend of theirs which happens to be the sibling of a megalomaniacal man who runs his own company for his own personal gain. This guy who wanted to joined up with you three was Kou Leifoh."
"Sorry for butting in on your conversation, My name is Kou Leifoh. The other two were Sion Barzahd and Volt Krueger."
"My name is Jin Kazama and I'm from the Tekken game, the other two is both Daigo Kazama and Roberto Miura from the Project Justice game. Pleasure to meet you." Jin finally introduced him, Daigo and Roberto to Kou which Venom reveals Kou's reasons of joining with them.
"This guy wanted to go with you because, he has a task to capture that person who manage to trap the game onto his own video game and the reasons why the House of the Dead 4 game was unplugged because of the serious damage it took. He previously succeeds to capture the developers behind their successful games, but they were rescued after the authorities had got him big time. I think right now, that culprit must be on the internet."
"So what's your plan to get into the internet?" Kou asked them which Jin replies.
"We're planning to get the new rail shooter to fix the Time Crisis 5 game and the game was recently unplugged."
"I see then..."
"I decided to come with you two because I want to see for myself of what the internet looks like." Roberto said deciding to join with both Jin and Daigo.
"You can come along with us, Miura. Since we haven't fought each other on our game because of this unplugged problem." Daigo said which he looked at Jin. "So where do we meet us there, Jin?"
"Good question...?"
Back at the Tekken game, Jin finally fixes his red and black rider gloves as Lars came to see him knowing he's about to get back to the Game World Station.
"You're going back to the Game World Station? I know what your planning."
"I hate to say this, Lars. I'm going to the internet." Jin said in a deep tone which surprises Lars.
"Seriously? The internet..."
"Yeah, that's the new plug in have installed in the station and the Time Crisis game was already got unplugged recently. I'm going to the internet to get the rail shooter to fix their game." Jin said as he leaves the room which Lars followed him.
"I see... so that's why you haven't showed up in Heihachi's eulogy."
As Jin goes back to the Game World station, he meets up with Daigo as Alisa noticed how tall he was.
"I can't believe how tall he was..."
"Daigo, you're here..."
"Perfect timing..."
"I see you let them wear jackets in honor for the Time Crisis characters." Lars said which Jin replied while closing his eyes.
"Yeah, that's what we're doing."
"Hey Miura... get over here." Daigo said as Roberto arrives wearing a dark blue leather collared jersey jacket with a Gorin emblem on the left side, a pale yellow short sleeved collared polo shirt with two buttons, medium blue jeans and his dark blue and red sneakers from his goalkeeper uniform. He wears his blue and red gloves and carries the white and brown backpack where he keeps his things and his soccer ball.
"Wow... I've never seen to meet Jin here before. This place is big..."
"Lars, where did Lee have went off too?" Jin asked as Lars tells him.
"He said that he just went to watch a dance break in the Dance Dance Revolution game and wants to learn something from the afro dancer."
"That's ridiculous..." Jin remarked in annoyance as Daigo drags him away from them.
"Let's go, Jin..."
Arriving at the Game World Station, Kou was waiting for them wearing a pale red bomber vest with a black sleeveless v-neck shirt to conceal his tattoos from his chest, dark green cargo jeans and black combat boots. He surprised to see Jin, Daigo and Roberto got out on the Tekken game to meet up with them.
"Just in time..."
"So Daigo what's your plan?" Roberto asked which Daigo tells them.
"Not to worry, I'll let Edge, Gan and Jo to handle the situation. I'm sure that guard always checking the game everyday."
As Edge, Gan, and Jo successfully distracts the Surge Protector long enough for Jin, Daigo, Roberto and Kou to sneak upon the Wi-Fi plug. Therefore, Lee comes across their plan after learning some dance steps by Disco in the Dance Dance Revolution game, which he thought.
That's weird... Jin and the others went to that new plug. I wonder what they were up to?
The group arrived to see a person looked the same as the people from the Tekken game enter the connection which they became suspicious about this.
"I've never seen a person can jump straight into the hole."
"Wow... it's like bullets from a handgun." Roberto said amusing which Kou tells them.
"That's when we were about to go to the internet."
"I've never seen people like me can enter this place." Jin remarked sarcastically until the group got hit separately from the light.
"Are you guys, all right?" Kou said worriedly as they stand up.
"So that's why the guard warns us about how to get through the internet." Daigo said knowing of the Surge Protector's warning.
"There's no turning back now." Roberto said as Kou tries to step on the field where the person just jumped through the hold as it forms a orange-shaped ball.
"Whoa, I'm look like a dodge ball." Kou smiled until he screams once he get through the hole.
"Man, that was scary..." Daigo looked to see Kou get through the hole as Jin evilly smirks knowing it was going to be a fun game.
"It's going to be a roller coaster ride, Daigo. You better try it."
Daigo tried to step into the field which both watch as it forms into a green-shaped ball as Roberto comments this.
"It's like a bullet."
"Now I finally know how to get through the internet by getting through the hole." Jin smiled as Daigo screams while getting through the hole as he followed by Roberto to follow the two of them away. As soon as they get through the hole, Lee arrives to see what's going on and he elegantly sways while handling a rose on his hand.
"I would expect Jin would get here. Despite the warning, you're still in it."
We can see the wire where different color bullets move through the computer. On the inside, we can see Kou, Daigo, Jin and Roberto were travelling leads to the internet.
"This is just like a coaster ride."
"No it was not!" Daigo yelled while screaming in agony.
With that they manage to see new surroundings as Jin was amused to see them until the group descends into the ground. Kou, Daigo, and Jin successfully land on the ground as Roberto fell over into the ground, comically.
"Oww... oww... how come you three landed successfully?" Roberto said hurting which Kou replies.
"It's probably because your bag is heavy on your back."
Jin looked to see the whole surroundings and became amused to see it.
"Wow... look at all this place. It was bigger than the ones in the Game World Station."
"Yeah, much like bigger than in your game, Jin. And look at this, it has lots of social media sites here too." Daigo said commenting about the place as Roberto opens his backpack to get his soccer ball to practice as Kou asking him.
"Hey kid... when did you carry that soccer ball on your bag?"
"I like to practice soccer, sir. After I got injured, the scout gave me the job as a forward." Roberto said as he unexpectedly kicks the ball, executing the Long Shoot as the ball directly hits the sign and it breaks, causing it to fell into the person while breaking into pieces as the person lost the connection through the internet.
"What!? Oh no... it can't be..."
"Miura, you accidentally hit the person out." Daigo comments on Roberto's skill which he was surprised horribly while getting his soccer ball.
"Waah! You were right..."
"Not just people like us who can get through the internet. Real people can." Kou as Jin goes to meet Knowsmore about what they were looking for.
"Excuse me, we were looking for a place to buy the rail gun shooter?"
"Uh... let's see."
When Knowsmore search for the whereabouts of their location, Kou, Daigo and Roberto looked to see the results.
"Does this old guy know the place, Jin?" Daigo said which Jin tries to stay calm until he had found the results.
"Well is in e-Bay."
"Good, we're gonna fix their game." Jin smirks which Kou tells him.
"Apparently, we have to get through their vehicles first. I think these people who own the pop ads have one."
"Maybe we should look for it."
"Now that's a good idea." Roberto smiled as the group went to explore the place in the internet.
