***It's been some time since I've visited this story. It's not that I forgot. It's simply that I've been busy with other things. Okay that's a shitty excuse, but it is a legit one. Anyways, here's to me bringing the next chapter soon!...Yeah that probably won't happen.***

Asuka and Steve finally arrived in front of the Eiffel Tower. She was here to talk to some of Paris's leading officials in National Security to discuss a possible position in their organization. The meeting was to take place atop of the Eiffel Tower. It seemed like a strange location but she was willing to bet the view would be breathtaking.

Her ride on the other hand seemed a little pissed off.

"First that stupid bubble wrap and now my damn tire is flat! Man somehow someway Howarang is responsible for this shit."

"Is that how you say his name? I've always called him Howard. Anyways Steve, you're the one who didn't notice the obvious broken glass on the road."

"Hey! I thought I saw Christie Monteiro on the sidewalk. When you see an ass that fat and tan you gotta look."

Asuka sighed. Steve was the only one she knew in Paris. He claimed he moved here to learn about the "French Kamasutra," which apparently is a kinkier version of the original. Thankfully he only seemed to be attracted to girls his own age, so Asuka wasn't too creeped out. And she was certainly grateful that he was willing to let her stay with him rent free. Who knows, maybe before she leaves she'll flash him a tit or two.

"Come on Steve the elevator is this way." She dragged the frustrated boxing champ to the elevator as he cursed Howarang's name. Seriously though, she could've sworn it was Howard.

When they finally got to the top floor they were greeted by a man in a black tuxedo, a baseball cap and sunglasses. By his side was a woman with a red coat, sunglasses and a straw hat that resembled Luffy's.

"My name is Melvin. This is my co-worker Alice. It's a pleasure to meet at last." They shook hands and sat down on a table near the balcony. Melvin sat with his back facing the balcony rails, Alice to his left, Steve to his right and Asuka right across.

A waiter came and offered refreshments. Melvin and Alice requested some wine. Steve asked for Baja-Blast Mountain Dew and was pissed when they didn't have any.

"So Ms. Asuka" Melvin spoke in a friendly tone, "Two representatives of Paris's National Security are meeting with a college sophomore to talk about possibly joining their organization. This is not something you hear everyday. Tell us, why should we consider someone who hasn't even turned 21 yet?"

Asuka gave an honest smile. "I've always had a strong sense of justice. I've broken up quite a few fights over the years, many of which I got beat up for. Eventually I got strong enough that nobody would even think about starting trouble if they saw me around. I even took part in the King of Iron Fist Tournament and made it to the semi-finals."

"Yes, we are well aware of that," Alice responded. "That is an accomplishment very few every achieve. Strength however is just one factor. Are you willing to uphold our country's laws? To only intervene when the rules permit it?"

"If you're asking if I can ignore a street-fight so I can focus on my assigned objective, then I can only say I will try. It's in my blood to stop any violence I see, but I understand that stopping larger life-threatening disasters may require me to stay hidden."

Both Melvin and Alice seemed pleased. There was no hesitation from Asuka. She talked in a way that showed respect while also demanding it.

"So why Paris? What was wrong with your home in Japan?" asked Melvin.

"Japan isn't in the best state right now. Besides, I've always wanted to live here. It is the city of romance after all."

Her words confused Steve. Asuka hardly talked about boys. Unless...she's into girls! He got a really dumb smile on his face and stared off into space.

Asuka though was feeling very confident and was sure the rest of this meeting would go well. But then Melvin asked her another question.

"Tell me Ms. Asuka, if Jin Kazama was attacking Paris right now could you put a bullet through his head?"

What? Did she hear that correctly? Did this man just ask about killing Jin?

Alice intervened. "Hey now, why ask something like that?"

"It's a simple question. And a good one at that. If you couldn't simply capture him, would you be able to end his life?"

Alice looked at Melvin then shifted her gaze back to Asuka.

Steve could tell she was quite shook. He couldn't remember the last time Asuka looked so distant. "You know what, I think we're done here. Asuka let's get going."

Melvin stood up abruptly, surprising Alice and Steve and bringing Asuka slightly back to Earth. He reached into his jacket and pulled out a pistol and pointed it directly at Asuka.

"What the hell are you doing?!" Alice jumped up and raised her hands above her head.

Steve was shocked for a second but did the same. Asuka however couldn't entirely register this new situation. Did her interviewer just pull out a gun? After he asked about killing Jin? What the hell was going on?

"I'm gonna ask you one last time. Can you put a bullet through the man who sprung the entire world into chaos? Or is that too much for a little girl like yourself?"

Alice had heard enough. In blinding speed, she kicked the gun out of Melvin's hand and pulled out a pistol of her own.

"Can't have you killing Ms. Kazama here. Now why don't you put your hands above your head before I shoot your head off your neck."

Melvin was momentarily stunned, but grinned once he saw the golden hair flowing from Alice's head now that her hat had fallen off.

"Just as expected. Jin was anticipating this wasn't he? But I'm still surprised he sent someone on your level, Nina Williams."

Alice simply stared at Melvin, not acknowledging his comment.

"Wait...Nina Williams? You're?...You work for Jin!" Asuka exclaimed. Yes, this woman definitely looked like Nina. But why was she here? And how does Melvin know this?

Alice decided it was time to give up this charade. She took off her glasses in a quick motion, eyes never leaving Melvin's gaze. "So, you've guessed my name. Tell me, who are you? How did you know I would be here?"

"That's the funny thing. I didn't know you would be here." He slowly lowered his hand to his face and removed his sunglasses. A scar was under his left eye, and his eyebrows would've made Rock Lee jealous. But this didn't make any sense! Why? Why was this man of all people here?

"I didn't think my son cared enough about this little brat to actually keep an active watch on her. But honestly, doing it through you seems like a waste of your talent. Wouldn't you agree Nina?"

Nina grinned at the man, unfazed by his reveal. "Actually, I'm here of my own accord. I was about to leave Paris but then I got word that Asuka Kazama was set to have an interview with someone from National Security. I wondered who that might be. Looks like my hunch was right. Though I must say the surprise is mutual. Who would have thought the head of G-Corporation itself would play dress up just to kill one little girl?"

"Let's just say this wasn't part of my original plans. Anyways, I would love to stay and chat but I left the stove on. Goodbye."

Kazuya lept backwards right off the balcony. They were all speechless until they felt a gust of wind hit them in their faces. Kazuya was standing inside a helicopter giving them a devious smile. Nina got herself into a running position but found herself getting tackled by Asuka. Steve immediately jumped onto the table and ran towards the balcony. He jumped off and grabbed the landing skid, nearly throwing Kazuya off balance.

"Are you trying to get yourself killed you Australian bastard?!"

"I'm British you uncultured shit!"

The helicopter swerved around and even did a front flip, but the boxer just wouldn't let go. Kazuya suddenly realized he had a sub-machine gun on board. He went to get it but was interrupted by the sudden appearance of a harpoon piercing through the bottom of his chopper. "What the actual fuck?"

Steve looked down the long rope of the harpoon and saw it was shot from the hands of China's best police officer. He stood on top of a taxi, looking really constipated.

"Hey Lei!" Steve shouted, "why are you looking so constipated?"

"Why do you think you idiot! I'm trying to keep a chopper from flying away!"

"You people are literally overgrown mosquitoes. Pilot, demonstrate why they shouldn't fuck with me."

The pilot nodded his head and started to pull the chopper up.

"Hey what the flying fuck? Are we flying? Fuck!" shouted Paul from the driver's seat, unsure of what to do as his taxi started rising above the ground.

"Shit shit shit! Do something you jackass!" Lei yelled at the taxi driver.

"I was told this kind of thing rarely happens! You better hold on."

Quickly the taxi rose several feet in the air and was headed straight for the side of the tower.

Kazuya smiled then aimed his gun at Steve. But before he could fire he was kicked square in the chest by Asuka. He went flying into his pilot and his pilot went flying out the door. "Oh my dead grandfather. Do you realize what you have just done brat?"

Never in a million years did Asuka think something like that could happen. She was frozen with shock then immediately grabbed onto the chopper as it started plummeting to the ground.

"You know what children? I've had enough fun for one day. Feel free to keep the chopper." Kazuya grabbed a backpack and jumped out the door. His backpack transformed into a jet-pack and he quickly became a speck of dust.

"Asuka! Jump onto the tower rails." Steve didn't know what was happening inside the chopper but he knew he had to get off. He jumped and grabbed onto a side railing. Asuka did the same, landing two floors down.

The taxi finally landed with a thud. "Oh God please tell me nothing's broken. I can't afford to become homeless again."

"Paul! Get the fuck outta the way!" Lei somersaulted off the taxi and started running.

"Hey where you going? Am I done driving you around?" Paul noticed that the ground around him was becoming engulfed with a shadow of increasing radius. "Is something blocking the su-"

BAM!

The chopper collided with the taxi. Luckily though it didn't explode.

"Holy hell," Lei was in disbelief. "Did...did I just witness Paul Phoenix getting crushed by a falling helicopter? Wait...maybe he's still alive!" Lei was about to rush towards the helicopter when all the sudden, it exploded.

"Oh. Oh shit. Nope, he's dead. Definitely dead. Fuck, how am I gonna break this to Law? Those two are best fr - wait, lovers?" Lei was contemplating the possibility of Paul and Law having forbidden love when suddenly a body emerged from the fire and began rolling on the ground.

"AARRGGHH I FEEL LIKE I'M BURNING!" Paul shouted while he burned.

"Paul! You're alive." Lei rushed over and helped put out the burning Paul.

"Oh man! I can't believe I was on fire just now. Can cross that off the bucket list haha."

"Paul, you literally have third degree burns. How can you manage a joke?"

"I'm one tough son of a bitch that's how." Paul looked over at his burning taxi. "A son of a bitch that's about to be homeless again! WAAAHHH!" Paul started crying but Lei was just happy he was still alive.

Asuka finally made it outside. "Lei! Are you alright?" Asuka hadn't seen Lei since the last tournament. He was one of the few competitors she liked and his sense of justice was admirable.

"Yeah but just barely. You guys?"

"We're okay. I ca - " Asuka looked over her shoulder to see a burnt man crying. "Umm, please don't tell me that's Robert De' Niro."

"No, just Paul Phoenix. Poor fella is gonna be homeless again."

"Wait was he always black?"

"No he ju - "

"Hey Paul! Nice to see ya." Steve said cheerily as he joined the others. "But what was wrong with bein' white? You racist? Haha just kidding man, it's good that you discovered yourself."

"Shit Steve what took you so long to get down? Being a boxer doesn't mean you can skip leg day." mocked Lei.

"Haha very funny Inspector Chan. What the hell's your ass doing here anyway?"

"I'm on the hunt for Feng Wei. Man's been nothing but an annoying thorn in my ass. But then I saw a helicopter with you dangling off it. So I thought I'd intervene."

"Umm guys, could one of you call an ambulance? I'm kinda in a lot of pain here."

Asuka shushed the crispy Paul. "Hold on this is important!"

"Wait a second," Steve felt something didn't add up, "You just happened to drive by the Eiffel Tower...carrying a harpoon gun?"

Lei was confused. "Are you saying you don't carry a harpoon gun at all times?"

While Lei and Steve discussed the importance of carrying around weapons from the 1800's, Asuka scavenged the chopper and found an unscathed folder. When she examined the contents of the folder a big grin spread across her face.

"Guys! Would you believe me if I told you I had in my hands the whereabouts of G-Corps headquarters?"

"For reals? Damn girl nice job!" Lei gave Asuka a high five then looked at the papers.

"Well this day has been an absolute shit fest. First the bubble wrap, then those interviewers who turned out to be -" Steve had totally forgotten a vital part of the story. "Asuka! What happened with Nina?"

"Huh? Oh, Nina." Asuka thought for a second. "She uh, got away. She threw me to the ground then made a run for it."

Lei was suspicious. "Asuka, no offense but Paul could make up a better lie and he's barely alive."

"Hey if I kicked her ass I would've tied her down to something. But she was stronger than me. In fact I'm surprised she didn't kill me before running off." she seemed very distant all the sudden but her two friends were now convinced she wasn't lying.

Police and ambulances soon arrived. The only real damage was the burning helicopter and taxi. Paul Phoenix was lifted into the ambulance with nothing but a note taped to his chest that said "Emergency contact: Marshall Law." Lei, Steve and Asuka were nowhere to be seen.
