It was night in Berry Bitty City. The tournament was starting the following morning. Strawberry was in Princess Berrykin's guest room, trying to sleep. But for some reason, she couldn't. "The mark...nobody seems to know a thing about my parents...this can't be just a coincidence" she thought to herself before hearing a sound coming from the window and getting out of bed. "Who's there?"
A tall and kind of scary figure jumped through her window. "Don't worry, Strawberry. I am here to help you"
"To help me with what? How do you know my name? And who are you?" she asked, looking at the man in front of her. For some reason, he looked familliar.
"Oh, sorry. Where are my manners? My name is Kazuya Mishima"
"Mishima? As in the Mishima Zaibatsu?" Strawberry asked, worried
"Well, yes, but not in the way you think" Kazuya answered. "You see, the Zaibatsu originally belonged to my family. It used to be an innocent company. But then that nightmare of a Kazama took over it and used it to create only chaos"
"I guess that answers some of my questions. Now how do you know my name and how do you want to help me with what?"
"Let's take things one at a time. I heard you were looking for your father"
Strawberry was rather intrigued by that. "I'm listening"
"Your father happens to be a good friend of mine"
"And can you help me find him?"
"I can, but first of all, we have to take care of a certain common enemy of ours"
"Jin Kazama?"
"Exactly. Because of him, your father had to go into hiding and even I don't know where he is. Jin is hunting him. But if I got the Zaibatsu back, I could use it to find your father"
"That pretty much explains everything. But why did you have to sneak in like that?"
"The princess is currently really strict about security in the castle. She won't let anyone in, friend or enemy. This was the only way I could come in contact with you. Goodbye now, and sorry for the disturbance" Kazuya said, before jumping through the window again.
"Goodbye, mr. Kazuya!"
Kazuya walked away from the castle. "Poor little girl. She can't even imagine what she's got herself into" he thought to himself.
