Chapter 3: Another Adventure Begins
The trio manages to take refuge at the Trading Hole central park where other warriors are dueling each other. Jin is asking the female clerk in how to teleport back to where the other warriors manage to get through their campuses while Ryu and Akira are eating hotdogs.
"Mmm... Luckily their hotdogs are delicious. Not like Sonic the Hedgehog who gave me some chili dogs." Akira said while chomping some food.
"It feels like I was in our world to learn more things and cultures. But this place is a lot like in our place." Ryu said calmly as Jin arrives to see the trio.
"I guess the only way we can get back is this card."
"A card...? How is that?" Akira wondered.
"According to the clerk, this card enables them to return back to their school campuses. Which means these warriors are just students from different schools who are trained to fight against different enemies here." Jin said explaining to them. "I guess this card is the only way we can get through."
"I see these students are trained to become powerful warriors. I'm amazed to see that." Ryu said amusing as Jin's stomach growls for a moment too soon.
"Darn... After all our time travel... I haven't ate dinner after we land travel to see the ninja man."
"Relax, Jin... I just bought something for you too. Their hotdogs are delicious." Akira said as he gives the hotdog to Jin who is hungry.
"Gee, thanks..." Jin said thankfully as he begins to eat. "I like Cheese Floss in the Breadtalk store than hotdogs. Except that I don't eat cornflakes for breakfast..."
"You're lucky that you ate different kinds of bread in that place." Akira smiled happily as the blue card that Jin was handling begins to glow.
"Jin... looks like the card is glowing on your hand...?" Ryu said noticing the card and Jin was shocked as the trio quickly teleported in a flash of white light.
At the Mystic Peak Campus, Ken, Kazuya and Kage-Maru are observing the warriors are dueling each other with different weaponry as others are quickly defeating several Little Hooligans with their skills and magic.
"Whoa... I never seen they are fighting one on one with weapons and their equipments are glowing" Ken said surprisingly as Kage-Maru remarks about how they ended up in the world of RAN.
"I know this place... this is the game that I played between both fourth and fifth Virtua Fighting Tournament. We're in the world of RAN online."
"And how did you know this game?" Kazuya asked while raising his brow and Kage-Maru replies.
"I played this game for fun as one of my hobbies. But I begin to fed up after I reach in a hundred levels."
"Really? But how...?" Ken wondered while shrugging.
"A few veteran players are trying to hit and run some other players by luring several mobs at them. Although their equipment will be lost if they ended up being engulfed by it." Kage-Maru explained. "I easily realized about this when others are doing the same thing. It's going to waste your potions if you want to keep yourself alive."
Kazuya notices other players are trying to make love in public while being unequipped which he becomes embarassed as he reminisced how he and Jun went intimate during the second tournament several decades ago.
"Hey, Kazuya... are you okay in there...? You look pretty horrified..." Ken asked as Kazuya coldly tells him.
"It's none of your business... I just remember something of how Jun and I were crossed paths. So don't ever asked me again?"
"It's only just a online game we came in... how can they do "that" if they are in undergarments? The real thing was to see them naked if they did "that" not in undergarments?" Kage-Maru retorted towards Kazuya until a white light emerges revealing to be Jin, Ryu and Akira who were transported while they are in Trading Hole.
"Whoa... so we ended up here?" Akira said surprisingly as Jin sees familiar surroundings.
"We're in the school's campus."
"What took you so long, you three... We're a bit worried." Ken said scolding at both of them and Ryu apologizes.
"Sorry, Ken... we'll tell you everything."
"I never thought you have some food, Jin. When did you bought it?" Kazuya said smirking.
"It's none of your concern... So don't ask me again..." Jin retorted angrily as Kazuya swiftly got the half of his hotdogs that he carried. "Hey! That's my food..."
"You're too slow, Jin... After all, you're just pigging out like the others." Kazuya smirked as he simply eats it which makes Jin angrily frustrated.
"Urgh... I really hate him so much..."
"Now now, Jin... I think there a lot of food inside the school we might as well stay here for a while."
Inside the school, Ryu explains how they ended up in a ruined cities which Kage-Maru was expected to know the place.
"I see... So the three of you ended up in the Middle Hole section. Lucky for us we transported in this school campus."
"The worst thing happen to us there. Some warrior just lure several mobs with them and we almost getting stampede by it." Jin explained. "Luckily I found the alleyway so that the three of us won't get stampede."
"This is what I'm trying to tell them about it. Other veteran players are trying to lure several mobs to make a hit and run towards the other players who are in lower levels. If that happens they would be easily get killed or their expensive equipment will be dropped after being killed." Kage-Maru while closing his eyes.
"So they do that for getting their equipments? That's cruel!" Akira said seriously Ryu tells them.
"Let's change the topic shall we... We have to know how to activate the phones that Rei gave us."
"Hmmm... this phone that I carried resembles the latest edgephone and it's also touchable. I guess the activation will be the button in the center." Jin said while showing the edgephone that Rei gave him.
"By the way, Jin... is this phone gave me is just like you?" Akira asked smiling as Jin closes his eyes in disappointment as he replies.
"That phone your handling right now resembles the latest Iphone."
"Wow... I'm amazed! I guess the activation is also in the center." Akira said excitedly.
"So this phone he gave me, just like in modern times." Ryu said calmly as Ken borrows the phone he gave him as he explains.
"Relax, old buddy... that phone looks like a note edgephone and it's the same activation as in the previous one."
"Really... this phone is an edgephone?" Ryu said surprisingly.
"It is an edgephone but in a note type which means it has a pen encased on this edgephone." Ken smiled happily.
"Hmph... I already made plans if I get those phones. This is going to be fun." Kazuya said calmly to them as Jin is still angered on his actions.
Meanwhile at the pool area Akira is shown ready to swim as he is shown wearing a blue swim shorts and wristbands on his wrists and Jin is shown swimming in laps knowing of his frustrations towards his father.
"Jin, you seems pretty stressed after reunited with your father." Akira said as Jin coldly replies.
"Sorry, Akira... I don't have time talking about him right now..."
"You don't have to be rude, you're just being too stressed." Akira said while raising his brow.
"You can't talk back if you keep acting rebellious towards your own parent." Ken arrives in a green swim shorts and seeing both Jin and Akira see him.
"Masters...?"
"I know you and Kazuya hated each other is due to your evil blood relation. The fight will become pointless if you keep on continuing that strained relationship." Ken said telling him and Jin remembers how Hunyo told him about a little respect to his own parent as Jin sadly tells him.
"You maybe right, I trusted my Sensei just like how my mother would raised me like this. My father does not have a love of his own son which is me. He even don't considered my mother as his wife. Mr. Panganiban my teacher is like a father figure to me."
"You need to show him a little respect, Jin... He's still your father you know." Ken said encouraging him until Akira jumps into the pool in a big splash to make Jin getting wet wildly.
"Gah... Akira...?"
"You need to behave yourself, Jin... Just like the last time you became angry after you see him get injured from Gill." Akira said smirking as Jin retaliates by splashing him to his face.
"All right all right... I'll try and make up to him. We maybe enemies with each other but we're still related."
"Wow... splashing in the pool looks interesting." Ken smiled as he jumps into the pool to join the fray with both Jin and Akira. Behind them, Kage-Maru is watching them and seeing that they are having fun.
At the rooftop, Ryu watches Kazuya who becomes upset after remembering how he met Jun before as he said sadly to himself.
"Jun... I didn't expect that our son inherited your blood that restrains him from becoming the devil. It's so very you... After all you were dead, you're still guiding him. All my plans are wiped out because of you..."
So that's why he and Jin are against each other because of their bloodline. Now I finally understand...
"Are you actually wanted me to take care of him even though he and I were enemies in one another? Do I have to do this, Jun...?" Kazuya said as he angrily blames Jun for all the chaos happened between him and Jin as he lowers his head. "I never expect you raised Jin solely without even telling me about it after I was thrown into the volcano. Until the time I see my son had grown up in the fourth tournament in my revival and become rebellious because of my greed for power. I never thought I would antagonize Jin in his dream of hating me but I realized that I wanted to face him in a fight. That's why I don't consider you as my own wife like my father did to my mother."
Kazuya becomes upset and blames Jun for all the things she did to him and his downfall and Ryu notices how sad this person is as he walks away. Kazuya finally watches the full moon and finally decides to take care of his son who is his archenemy as he thought.
I finally made up my mind... I know Jin would hate me if I have to take things in my own greed for power. Despite we're enemies, I must do some parental figure to him just how Jun raised him in the past. Jin barely cares about me after I was badly injured from Gill. That will be the only way I would atone my selfish acts and my own sins.
The next day, The group are ready to transport to another world as the trio activated with their new phones that Rei gave them as it creates three warp portals.
"Cool, this portal looks different than the last time." Akira said amusing as Jin tells them.
"We better get ready... Once we get through our own portals... there's no turning back. Now... Let's find that "portalstone"..."
"All right, Ken... are you ready?" Ryu smiled as Ken replies.
"Of course, I'm ready... Travelling in other worlds was a great adventure."
Both Ryu and Ken finally get through their warp portal as Kage-Maru knows that Akira is able to activate it.
"So you're gonna use that smartphone to create portals like this?"
"Of course I do, Kage-Maru..." Akira said as he seriously states. "Time for us to find that stone! Come on!"
Both Akira and Kage-Maru proceed through their own portal as both Kazuya and Jin are left.
"Jin, I have one thing to say to you..." Kazuya said as Jin coldly replies.
"What is that, father? Are you intending to get the curse blood in my veins?"
"I have no intention of getting the devil within you. I need to repent my sins and my selfish acts for Jun's sake. We maybe enemies due to our blood relation. But I will be act as a parental figure to you." Kazuya said telling him. "I wanted to have another chance in taking care of you... just how your mother raised you. It's not just as my father, Heihachi would treat you so harshly as he did to me in the past. What do you say, Jin...?"
"...Fine then, do as you wish..." Jin sighed as he reluctantly agrees. "If you intend to double crossed me because of your evil intentions? I will never forgive you, just like how we fight each other to the death."
"Hmph... so you agreed in my terms then... Now let's find that stone..." Kazuya said as Jin reluctantly follows him as they get through the warp portal as it flashes in a white light.
After this, two students of Mystic Peak discovers the white light as both a Swordsman and a Shaman saw this in their summer uniforms.
"What kind a light is that?"
"No idea... that must be the power of my job as a Shaman..."
"Oh well... let's train ourselves to fight outside. Come on..."
A/N:
Like in Operation Time Zone, It is very similar to Tekken 6's Scenario Campaign mode. The first is Jin's Campaign, second is Ryu's Campaign and lastly is Akira's Campaign. This next chapter for the first time in searching for the "portalstone", Ryu and Ken meets Phoenix Wright and Maya Fey the characters of The Ace Attorney who are pursued by Resident Evil's Nemesis. Good luck reading... :D
