Chapter 1: A New Mission
Akira is shown walking around at the marketplace at Divisoria in his casual clothes while carrying a white duffel bag after he travels from Japan to the Philippines. He notices a lot of stalls around the marketplace as he thought.
Boy, this place has a lot of food in here... Just remind me when I fought during the 5th DOA tournament as a guest.
Akira remembers he beats Kokoro in the DOA tournament and he helps her soon after. He cannot forget that Pai and Lion are watching them in the tournament and knowing he would get beaten by Pai if he did something to the other female fighters.
Dang... If I did something to the girls after the fight, Pai is gonna kill me...? Anyway, I need myself to be disciplined.
Akira continues to explore the marketplace as he was bumped into a man in a black leather hoodie jacket with a red shoulder armor which he angers the man.
"Hey! Would you watch where you going?!" Akira said raising his brow and he noticed the man's physical appearance. "Wait a second, that man who bumped into me?"
The man notices a thief just stole the girl's earrings while escaping as he tried to follow the thief. Akira knows trouble is about to happen as he follows him. The man easily manages to trip the thief until he quickly grabs the thief's collar from his shirt.
"Okay, you thief... give the girl's earrings back from her. Or else I'll beat you down!" The man said until another thief attempts to hit him with an ice pick from behind. The man manages to dodge as his hood is knocked off revealed to be Jin as he manages to knock the thief with a single Demon's Paw in a slow motion and goes for mental alertness. As the thief who's handling the girl's earrings manages to flee, Akira quickly chases the man as he drops his white duffel bag and manages to knock the man with two punches and an elbow as he retrieves the girl's earrings from the thief as Jin notices Akira's appearance.
"Akira, you're here too..."
"Long time no see, Jin... What are you doing here at the marketplace?" Akira said as the girl arrives to retrieve her earrings as he gives it to her.
"Thank you very much..."
"I'm also asking the same question, why are you here at the Philippines?" Jin replied calmly and Akira notices Jin's clothes are different like the last time.
"I was asked by my grandfather to look for Ryu. He says that he was in the capital of this country. By the way, I haven't recognized you when you wear that hooded jacket."
"I wore that so that other locals won't recognize me. Since these thugs knocked my hood off, the locals would recognize me. They really think of me as a Filipino." Jin answered while having his arm crossed as Akira gets his white duffel bag that he dropped earlier.
"Wow... I guess they will think of us locals if we wear our casual clothing, Jin." Akira smiled happily until his stomach growls. "Oh crap, I guess I'm so hungry when I keep on exploring the marketplace. I wanted to buy some food in each stalls but my money was still Yen and there's no money changer in here."
"I think I know where it has a money changer in this town, Akira. Sensei, just told me to explore here in the capital before getting back to his school." Jin suggested and Akira decides to go with him.
"Okay, Jin... I'll go with you from now on and I'll tell you everything."
At the noodle house in Binondo, Akira quickly chomps a lot of food and Jin knows that he and Ryu recognizing him from being a fast eater.
"So Akira... what happened to you at the 5th DOA tournament? Did you actually win...?" Jin asked and Akira answers while he slurps the noodle from his mouth.
"Oh yeah... I almost won that tournament. Like I said to Pai and the others that the tournament is just like I was fighting Kage-Maru."
"I see... You're very prone on fighting ninjas despite you're very serious on fighting them." Jin remarked nicely as Akira tells him.
"Other fighters are powerful too not just Sarah and the others do."
"Anyway, you know where Ryu was? You're telling me that you came here to see him." Jin said calmly and Akira replies.
"I don't know if Ryu was indeed in the capital of this country. My grandfather says he's a guest on training young kids with Shotokan Karate. As a Bajiquan practitioner, I would teach the children too if it's necessary."
"Listen, Akira... If you want to teach them your style." Jin said as he reminds him as Leo. "I know for sure you would act like Leo Kliesen if you did."
"Who's that, Jin... I never heard that name before?" Akira wondered as Jin tells him.
"Leo is also a German Bajiquan practitioner like you but her fighting style is based on it's pure form. Yours actually is like she does even Julia Chang did when she fights."
"Ooh... Now that's interesting. I guess let's look for Ryu, Jin... I think he has reasons why he is here." Akira said smiling as Jin agrees as he paid the waiter for their food.
At Intramuros Golf Course, Ryu is shown to demonstrate his Ansatsuken martial arts moves as he trained the kids to become self-discipline. Oro is watching him and he notices two men are coming to see him as he senses their presence.
"Ryu... it appears that someone is looking for you."
"Jin, Akira..."
After the training, the trio are sitting in the grass and he informs them about the incident happened in Japan.
"What?! The Tenzai family clan are massacred! This is outrageous!" Akira said gritted his teeth.
"That's what I heard from Ken. He says about the strange looking aliens are searching for something and they were looking for a certain stone." Ryu said seriously.
"But why would he massacred other innocent people just for that stone? What kind a stone they were looking for?" Jin said wanted to know their motives.
"Jin, I think you know Kogoro Tenzai, right. He's the one who knows your question." Ryu said telling him as Oro tells them about Kogoro's location.
"It appears the young lad is gone into hiding in this place. Not just about the capital but in a different town."
"So the ninja man is somewhere in this town but in a different place." Jin said knowing of Kogoro's location and Oro gives a map to Akira which he was surprised to see him having a band to cover his right arm.
"Gee, old man... I never seen a fighter can fight only a single left hand..." Akira said surprisingly and Ryu tells him.
"Akira... Oro is the master of Senjutsu. If you keep remarking about his appearance. I know for sure you would forced to fight him. I got carried away by him during my training with him and ends up my loss when I faced him."
"Ohoho... who is this young lad, Ryu. He looks just like you but well disciplned." Oro said as he finally shows his right hand creating a large ball of aura on both of his hands and he was seen sitting while floating in air while his right arm has covered from his garb much to the kids' amusement.
"Wow... he's pretty strong." Akira commented and Jin notices how powerful Oro is and he borrows the map that Oro gave to him and he knows that Hunyo recognizes the place.
"I guess sensei would take us there..."
At Kawit, Cavite. Hunyo takes Jin, Ryu and Akira to their destination where Oro tells them to do. Arriving at the location, they found a long black haired man with a scar on his left cheek which is tied in a ponytail and a single fringe at the left side on his head and wears a white button shirt which folded below his elbows, green pants and black shoes and he notices Akira is with them.
"Long time no see, Akira... you haven't changed."
"Huh? Kage-Maru!"
"Akira, you knew him..." Ryu asked and Jin notices his appearance.
"So this Kage-Maru is a ninja, right?"
"Haha... I'm impressed you have new friends who took care of you even you ended up defeated by me." Kage-Maru laughed happily and he calmly looked at Ryu's appearance. "I heard about you, you must be the fighter who enters the third world warrior tournament."
"So you did know me." Ryu said calmly to him. "If you were a ninja, how come you're wearing some casual clothing?"
"I wear this if I'm not fighting. I wear my ninja wardrobe if it comes to a fight." Kage-Maru answered and he tells them. "It appears you came here to seek the man's answers. Then, follow me."
"This guy is pretty serious..." Jin said knowing of his actions as the group followed him.
Arriving inside the secret house, they find Kogoro Tenzai who is severely wounded and Jin comes to his aid as both Ryu and Akira follow him.
"Ninja man... what happened to you?" Jin said trying to wake him up and Kage-Maru tells him.
"I saved his life after the massacre happened to his home. The last time I saw him where he fights a mysterious assailant who murdered his family clan."
"That's what Ryu is talking about." Akira reacted on his word and Hunyo remarks.
"Look like trouble is about to happen soon. It appears our new enemy is trying to mess our world into a massive global war."
"What!? Sensei, who told you that?" Jin said wanted to know who told him and Hunyo tells him.
"Your father would answer that, Jin. He came all the way to see you. I guess that he wants to warn you about our new enemy."
"Kazuya?" Ryu said recognizing about Kazuya as Kogoro wakes up.
"Where's Meden...! I'll...never forgive...him for killing my family...!" Kogoro said while struggling to get up.
"Kogoro, stay calm... now tell us who did that to you?" Jin said and Kogoro tells him.
"I'm sorry, Jin... that I didn't tell you after the Neo-Illuminati incident... That person who killed my family... is Meden Traore..."
"Meden Traore..." Jin said shockingly.
"Who is this guy?" Akira wondered and Kage-Maru warns him.
"He's no ordinary opponent like the others, Akira... He was responsible for murdering the Tenzai family clan."
"That's the mysterious assailant that Ken was talking about." Ryu said knowing of his best friend's word.
"He's from another dimensional world and the leader of the evil organization called Oros Philox..." Kogoro said and he tells them about what Meden was seeking. "They came here to destroy...our world that we lived in... Before that...he came here to find the "portalstone" where our family clan...had been kept."
"A portalstone?" Jin wondered.
"That stone is...a very powerful stone... Meden seeks this stone so that he will become more powerful to destroy our world... That's why I'll never forgive him...for killing...my family..." Kogoro said sadly as he clutches his stomach.
"So where's the stone then?"
"I was informed by my father...that the stone that we kept has been transported into another dimensional world... and Meden now continues his search for it... I wanted for each of you to protect that stone..." Kogoro said begging them to protect the stone once they found it and Jin realizes their new enemy is just like how his father previously did.
"That's what my father acts this way... He wanted to get that stone so that he will gain more power. All right, we'll find that stone."
"But Jin... we're going to travel in different worlds again." Akira reacted and Ryu tells him.
"I guess we have no choice. This time it's different than previous one."
"Looks like a new journey will take the three of you to the next level." Kage-Maru said became intimidated on the group and Hunyo now knows their new mission.
"Jin, this will be your new mission now. As long as the stone was on the different worlds that you're going to travel. You have to find it before Meden gets it."
"I'm in for that search... I'll be waiting for this!" Akira said became serious to find the stone.
"Just like our previous travels. We must push onwards!" Ryu said agrees to join the search and Jin realizes their new mission as he decides to join as well.
"I'm going too... I won't let these stupid minions to have that stone."
"Seems like going with you in your search will be a good idea." Kage-Maru smirked towards the trio. "This travel will put myself to the test."
"Okay then... we'll go for Silveria Corporation. That is the only place you can travel through time and space." Hunyo said telling them.
"I'll catch up with the four of you, I'll take this kid to a hospital for his wounds." Kage-Maru said as the group agreed.
At Silveria Corporation which has been infiltrated by Meden and his group to get through different dimensional worlds. Kazuya finally gets off the car and to see the ruins inside of the corporation building as he thought.
This is just like I observered in G-Corporation, Our new enemy is already here in our world after all after the massacre of the Tenzai clan. This is no ordinary task for me to handle them. I guess I must find the survivors here inside.
With that, Kazuya finally enters the ruined building to find the survivors as well as to investigate the place.
