Chapter 2: Rescue, A Condemned Fight
Ken Masters, the president of the Masters Corporation visits at Gouken's temple in his red gi to visit his best friend, Ryu. He reads the note and to find out that Ryu was been captured by an unknown assailant. Determined, he travels to Kyoto to find his best friend.
At the deserted town in Kyoto, Kazuya finally captures Ryu and he visited the ruins of Kyoto Castle as he evilly grins remembering their fight with his father and his son. But to his dismay, he lost to his son after utilizing his devil powers and his new devil form. He could not forget that loss made him more than a humiliation.
"Kazuya, are you sure that you're bringing him in?" Nina asked.
"Yes..." Kazuya said with a sinister grin. "I'm sure that this man would be my challenge."
"..."
"I can sense anyone around here?" Kazuya sensed someone followed their way as he orders Nina. "Nina, I want you to kill anyone who followed our trail. Nobody touches the true warrior in my grasp."
Nina coldly walks away and Kazuya watches. He then sends the message to his son Jin.
"Jin, I know you're still there at the Zaibatsu. If you want to hear this message, listen carefully. I heard you wanted to meet this man is the true warrior who fights in the world warrior tournaments. This man that you wanted to meet is here..."
Meanwhile, Ken finally arrives at Kyoto and found himself in a deserted town. He explores the whole town and it turns out it was been ravaged by the war made by the Mishima Zaibatsu and Shadaloo. Therefore, he discovered corpses that are scattered around the town. He examines one of the corpses and it turns out it's from the Mishima Zaibatsu, The Tekken Forces.
Hmmm, these soldiers...? Are they fighting against Bison? No, maybe someone viciously killed them with one strike.
Ken finally identifies the assailant who killed them in one straight chop and also captures his best friend Ryu. Interrupted, he avoids the gun shot coming from the sniper rifle.
"Hey, what are you shooting at?" Ken said and Nina simply replies.
"Looks like you're the one who is trying to rescue your precious friend that was captured by Kazuya."
"What the...?" Ken said and Nina appears.
"These Tekken Forces are killed from the G-Corporation soldiers. You were quite unaware about that." Nina said coldly.
"Where's Ryu? Where did you take him, tell me...?" Ken barked at Nina.
"Hmph... you were worst that I ever imagined. I guess that you have to get through me first." Nina said and Ken was desperate to save his friend.
"Don't you dare challenge me? I'm going to beat you, bring it on."
Ken and Nina begin to fight in hand to hand combat. Both were exchanging their blows and Nina grapples him to the ground as he counters her in a rolling somersault throw. Nina simply grins to see her opponent is very tough. Nina then demonstrates her assassination techniques towards Ken. But, Ken manages to avoid these attacks as he executes the dragon punch, Shoryuken.
"Shoryuken!" Ken knocks Nina to the ground and she became humiliated.
"Ugh..." Nina lowers her head after being knocked on Ken's Shoryuken as he forces to ask her.
"Now where's Ryu? I don't have time to get rid of you. I don't want to fight a lady."
"..." Nina didn't respond his question as both noticed a shake feeling. A robot interrupts.
"Oh shit!" Ken exclaims and Nina noticed the robot which happens to be a NANCY MI847J and it starting to gun fire at both of them with a robotic machine gun.
Ken and Nina are separately avoided the gunshots and NANCY MI847J intends to body slam at Nina as she dodges. She then saw Ken manages to escape.
"I won't let you get away!" Nina yells as the NANCY robot continues to shoot her with a robotic machine gun as she quickly escapes.
Ken watches the robot chases her and he continues to search for Ryu.
Meanwhile, Kazuya watches the unconscious Ryu with an evil grin. He wants to steal the power of the Satsui no Hado to enhance his devil powers as he thought.
Now is the right time to steal the power within this man. This power will be mine...
Kazuya intends to steal the power inside of Ryu and Ryu finally awakens and grabs his shoulder and throw him on the ground.
"Why you...?"
"Who the hell are you and what are you going to do at me?" Ryu asked and Kazuya smirked evilly.
"Looks like you've been awake after all I knocked your face down to the ground. I am Kazuya Mishima and I want to test my devil powers. Once I defeat you, and I will take that murderous power from you."
Kazuya and Ryu engaged in a fierce battle. Ryu feels the miasma on Kazuya's fists which are covered in a purple haze. Until Kazuya knocks him with a dragon uppercut with a blue lightning embedded on his left fist then kicking him viciously on the ground. Ryu stands up as he charged himself to shoot a fireball on Kazuya.
"Hadoken!" Ryu shoots fireball on Kazuya. But to no avail, Kazuya is able to block his fireball in one fist which is embedded with a blue lightning. Both continued to fight intensively with their heavy blows and strikes. Ryu manages to knock Kazuya with a devastating dragon punch.
Ryu's demonic power however is starting to awake within him, Kazuya became impressed on his fighting abilities and noticed Ryu can't control the demonic power within him.
"Hmph... It seems that your demonic power of yours is about to awaken. You are just like Jin after all."
"RYU!" Ken finally arrives in time to help Ryu and Ryu snapped himself from being consumed with the demonic power within him and Ken hits Kazuya with a multi-hit Shoryuken knocking him out.
"Ken... I'm glad that you're here." Ryu finally reunites with his best friend and noticed Kazuya's counterattack. "Behind you..."
Kazuya then counters Ken with a lightning screw uppercut which he is engulfed in a blue lightning. Ken struggles to get on the ground as he shoots a fireball on Kazuya as he avoids and knocks him on the concrete with a devastating flying kick, Hell Lancer.
"You're simply a weakling as I thought. You intend to hit me with this kind of move. You're pathetic." Kazuya said as he grins. "I'll finish both of you off."
Ryu became enraged as he charged a more powerful fireball on Kazuya as he intends to kill him first.
"Shinku Hadoken!" Ryu shoots a multi-hit fireball on Kazuya and defeats him.
Ryu became exhausted after a long-struggle battle he then tries to wake his best friend, Ken who is knocked unconscious.
"Ken, wake up..."
"Ryu, thank god you're alright. You just made me worried." Ken smirked happily to his best friend and both noticed this castle was been destroyed.
"It looks like this man that I defeated is definitely behind this destruction of the castle."
"Ryu... it's better if we get out of this place. This place is all messed up." Ken said and Ryu agrees.
"Let's go..."
Both Ryu and Ken leave the ravaged castle and knowing that there's more danger is about to happen than their fight.
In the deserted town at Kyoto, Nina manages to escape from a ravaging NANCY and remembers that she was rescued by Raven who disarmed the NANCY robot with two daggers. She found Kazuya who is severely injured from Ryu's Shinku Hadoken.
"It seems that you let these punks get away."
"Hmph... I can't believe I lost my fight to him. He was very powerful as I thought. I've never seen they can manipulate chi." Kazuya smirked with a sinister grin.
"Let's just deal with them later. We have a mission we must accomplish." Nina said and Kazuya agrees.
"Yes... that's right, the Pandora's Box. Once I claimed this box and my devil gene will be amplified. I can kill everyone with my own hands, hahaha..." Kazuya maniacally laughs once he claims the box on his grasp. Nina became disappointed to his actions. She knows that Kazuya will fail as she thought.
It's not just about you will claim it. There's someone else wanted to get the box more. I know Jin is also searching for the box too as well as the Shadaloo leader. But now, I must take undercover while working with this man in the shadows.
On their way to Gouken's temple, Ken finally manage to rescue Ryu while driving with his SUV. Ryu explains to him about what happened to him.
"What? Hibiki was knocked unconscious by that guy? He's pure evil..."
"While I'm meditating at the temple, I saw the same person who attacked Dan on his dojo. But I ended up captured by him." Ryu said as he looked on his right fist. "He says that he wants the power of Satsui no Hado inside of me and trying to test his own 'devil' powers."
"Hmm... Everyone knows this man that you mentioned. His name is Kazuya Mishima, he is the head of G-Corporation who knows him as the savior of the world and everyone was unaware that he has evil motives. Ryu I think he wants you to steal your powers."
"Kazuya... that's his name...?" Ryu nodded. "There's one person he mentioned, Ken."
"What is it?"
"This person who likes to make alliance with me, I'm not sure if it's him or not."
"Let's not think about it now, Ryu. We need to take refuge before we stay at our master's temple." Ken said seriously as he drove his SUV straight to the other village to take refuge before heading at Gouken's temple.
