Chapter 2: Master of Bajiquan

Jin and Ryu continue searching for Ken and Xiaoyu who got separated after travelling through a different time. Jin sensed something was not right.

"Jin, why do you stop?" Ryu asked as he found the sign as it wrote "Payon Cave"

"It says, "Payon Cave" which means we are inside of this cave."

"So that's we end up here, but where are the others?"


Meanwhile, Xiaoyu and Ken end up in the city of Alberta and seeing people wearing different costumes.

"Whoa... it looks like we're in the medieval times?" Ken said and Xiaoyu became worried.

"Where could Jin and Ryu go. They should be with us by now."

Therefore, someone bumped into Xiaoyu as it apologizes.

"Um... I'm sorry..."

"Hey you, who do you think you are? Bumping me through town?" Xiaoyu said obnoxiously.

"Uh... Xiaoyu I think that girl is just like us?" Ken said nudges her and the person they confronted was Pai Chan.

"What's the matter with you? You're kinda obnoxious and acts like a kid." Pai nodded as Xiaoyu gets angry.

"Don't you dare take that tone on me? I'm going to beat you down?" Xiaoyu said angrily to Pai as they fight intensively much to Ken's dismay.

"Come on, girls... can't you two stop fighting?"

Xiaoyu and Pai fights with their Chinese martial arts moves. Xiaoyu fights in Hakkesho and Hikkaken while Pai fights in Mizongyi as they continue their fight.


Back at the Payon Cave, Jin and Ryu finds the exit of the cave. Suddenly, Jin accidentally pressed on the ground.

"Jin, what's wrong?" Ryu asked.

"I guess that I stepped something?" Jin answered as the ground shakes and both became scarier with a sad looks on their faces knowing that a boulder is going to flat them like a pancake as both were forced to get chase by it.

"RUN!"

Both runs from a moving boulder as Jin found a safe place as he quickly drags Ryu to safety as they manage to avoid the running boulder.

"That was a close one." Ryu said in relief and Jin noticed a spider on his head.

"Ryu... there's a spider on your head?"

"Huh?" Ryu looked up and he saw a spider on his head as he screams. "AGHHHH! A spider..."

Ryu removes the spider on his head remembering someone would prank him on putting a spider on his mouth while he's asleep.

"I've never seen you hate spiders, Ryu?" Jin said as he laughs. "In my case, nobody pranks me this kind of stuff, haha..."

"That's not funny, Jin." Ryu grunted angrily. "We better find a way out of here."

Both continue to walk inside the cave as Jin knocks the wall knowing there's a shortcut.

"I can smash this with my fists." Jin said and Ryu knows he can break the wall with a fireball.

"Wait, Jin... If you break the wall, your gauntlets you were wearing will not last long. I can break this with my new technique." Ryu said as he charged his fireball but with yellow electricity. "Denjin Hadoken!"

Ryu shoots the Denjin Hadoken as the wall was destroyed with one blast. Jin was incredibly shocked to see his new technique.

"What kind a fireball is that? It generates electricity like my cursed blood in my veins?" Jin said shockingly as Ryu explains.

"This new technique I showed it to you was the Denjin Hadoken. I learned that from my master Gouken. You will be stunned if you get hit by it. It creates more electric damage if I keep charge this technique."

"I guess we can make it out alive." Jin said as he sighs. "We have to get out of this damn cave."

On their way, they found a light that leads to the exit of the cave as they confronted by skeletons who are wielding two swords.

"Skeletons with blades? Do we have to beat them?" Ryu said as Jin smirks for a moment he can beat them.

"They're too easy. I can beat them out in one fell swoop. Let's do this, Ryu."

Both then fights the skeletons on their way to the exit as they finally get out of the cave.

"We made it..." Ryu said and Jin became relieved after they finally get out of the cave.

"Yeah... but we have to find Xiao and Masters."

"Let's go, Jin. I hope we can find them soon enough."

Both then sensed someone followed on their way as it revealed to be small goat creature who are wielding scythe as a weapon known as Baphomet Jr and it attacks both Jin and Ryu. Both evade the attack.

"A little scapegoat? What kind a bullshit is this?" Jin commented as he says in profanity.

"It looks like they are aggressive. It seems that they're going to kill us with their scythes."

"Alright, bring it on..." Jin said as both punches the goat creature as they spoke.

"Baphomet! Baphomet! Mheheheh!"

"Is this their name?" Ryu asked as Jin breathes heavily as he answers.

"I guess so, but I think he calls his friends to kill us out."

"What?"

Baphomet Jr summons his fellow Jr friends and continued to attack both Ryu and Jin as they take them down as many as they can.
Ryu hits them with his severe punches and with a high-bladed kick then shoots with a Hadoken. Therefore, Jin beats with his several punches with his Median Line Destruction and Double Lift kicking to the other. As they defeated, the Baphomet Jrs retreated.

"Huff huff, that serves them right." Jin panted.

"Yeah... I guess they ran away because they can't stand against us." Ryu said in exhaustion. Both then heard someone came in behind.
"Jin, did you hear something?"

"What for?"

"Don't be so arrogant, Jin. It's behind us." Ryu said angrily to Jin. Behind them it was their leader an anthromorphic goat which is indeed a Baphomet.

"That's their leader. Damn those little bastards..." Jin said shockingly as the Baphomet hits both with his scythe as they avoided the hit.

"Baphomet! MEHEHEHE!"

Baphomet begins to attack Jin in which he avoids every single slash from his scythe. However, Jin got slip as he falls on the ground. Ryu distracts it with his Shakunetsu Hadoken. Baphomet then attacks Ryu in rage. Then, Jin angrily punches the Baphomet in the large rock using his Demon's Paw. Baphomet almost knocked on the ground.

Both Jin and Ryu became exhausted after beating the little Baphomets. Baphomet then attacks it with his scythe as the unknown man arrrives hitting the Baphomet with a powerful punch.

"No one ever to defeat these two. Goat face!" the unknown man said as he introduces. "I'm Akira Yuki, master of the extreme fists and I'll take you down."

Baphomet became enraged and attacks Akira. Akira blocks the weapon as he nailed him by hitting it with a powerful elbow. Ryu then proceeds hitting him with a Shin Shoryuken as Jin finishes the Baphomet by punching straight to his fist with his Avenger knocking the Baphomet in the farther place.

"I guess that's it for him, good riddance..." Jin said grimacing on the fallen Baphomet and Ryu noticed Akira is also wearing a red headband while wearing toe shoes.

"Your looks are just like mine."

"Seems like you two got trapped in the same world too." Akira said calmly as his stomach growls. "Ooohhh... I guess I'm pretty hungry..."

"You seem pretty energetic if you are not hungry to fight." Ryu said nicely as he introduces himself and Jin to Akira. "I'm Ryu, I am known as the master of Hado and a wondering street fighter who is travelling around the world to further tests my abilities and this Jin Kazama."

"It's a pleasure to meet you and thanks for saving us out." Jin said thankfully and Akira finally introduces to them.

"My name is Akira Yuki and I'm the master of Bajiquan known as Hakkyoku-ken. I'm searching for Pai Chan who is trying to save me from that fall."

"The fall? you mean a warp portal?" Jin nodded as he shrugs. "I guess you were the same as us, our friends also got separated from that fall too."

"Why don't you join us, Akira. Besides it would be a great companion for us to find our friends." Ryu offers Akira to join in their side as Akira agrees.

"All right, I'll go with you two. I don't want myself to get lost." Akira smiled as his stomach growls. "Aww... but first we must find a village somewhere, I'm so hungry."

"Let's find a village somewhere here." Jin smiled nicely as he mumbles. "Oh well, I guess I'm the youngest than the other two. I would become a leader with two red headbands in place."

The trio continues travelling on the Payon outskirts and they're off to the village to take a break.
