Chapter 6: Souls VS Devils

Jin's Campaign

Jin and Kazuya arrived in the world of 1500s which was in the feudal era in Japan. Both continues to explore the place and Jin now asks his father about their arrival.

"Father... do you actually born in this place?"

"No Jin... if you ask me that question, we're not born in this world. We're in the 1500s which means every locals in Japan are wearing traditional clothing." Kazuya answered.

"Are you saying that we're not born in that era?" Jin wondered as Kazuya sighed.

"...My parents usually wore just like them. You already saw your grandfather wearing that too, right."

"Hmmm... both grandfather and great-grandfather wears that too. So the other was..." Jin wondered as he knows both Heihachi and Jinpachi are wearing traditional clothing as Kazuya tries to shut him up.

"Don't say anything, Jin. I know for sure you have motives to kill someone."

"..."

"Anyway, let's look for that stone." Kazuya said as both were attacked by Yoshimitsu with his sword as Jin recognizes the armor he wears but is different than the Yoshimitsu that he met in the present day.

"Why is Yoshimitsu doing here?" Kazuya said gritted his teeth and Jin tells him.

"Father, I think this Yoshimitsu looks different. You said it was 1500s, right. And this Yoshimitsu we're going to confront is his past version."

"Behold, I am Yoshimitsu the second... You thieves be gone." Yoshimitsu said as he begins to attack both of them which Jin blocks it with a Mishima War Sabre and both fight which Kazuya decides to watch the fight.

Both men goes for a sword fight and Jin actually anticipates the present Yoshimitsu's moves until he uses his Critical Edge move, the Fury Slicer which he spins with his sword like a spinning top as Jin tries to defend from being hit until he activates his sword in spiritual magic. However, Jin manages to knock his face with a single punch.

"Ugh... that's an unfair fight...! You're supposed to be dead!" Yoshimitsu ranted while holding his mask. Without warning, Jin is behind him as he executes his Rage Art, Avenger as he knocks him with an upper straight punch as he unleashes several punches similar to the Median Line Destruction and knocks him with a devastating straight thrust. "Gwah... He's strong..."

"I already guess your fighting style, Yoshimitsu. You're just like the present version of you who has the same Manji clan fighting style." Jin stated as he gets the Mishima War Sabre as Natsu arrives to attack him from behind which Kazuya saves him by knocking her with a Hell Lancer.

"Jin, don't put your arrogance on your opponent. You almost got slashed by another ninja."

"What?!"

"Ugh... I never thought someone would attack me on purpose."

"Now that a good battle... I've never seen a young one can use my blade." The ragged muscular man arrive to see them both and Natsu stands up and becomes frustrated to see him.

"Huh? You're Heishiro Mitsurugi... what are you doing here?" Natsu notices Heishiro is watching the whole fight all this time which he notices both Jin and Kazuya.

"Hmmm... this is interesting... I didn't expect that these two people are from the modern times." Heishiro said as Yoshimitsu clutches his stomach after being defeated by Jin.

"Ugh... Heishiro... you've been watching all this time."

"You fight well, Yoshimitsu..." Heishiro smirked as he wields his two handed katana and seeing Jin is very potential in sword fighting as he points his blade towards him. "You young lad... I'm amazed on your swordsmanship. My blade was happy to see you fight me."

"Are you trying to challenge me in a fight? Is it a sword fight or a real fist fight?"

"Hmm... you're pretty tough as I thought. Before that, I'll explore both modern people around town." Heishiro said smirking while wielding his two-handed katana.

At the Imperial City, Heishiro tours both Jin and Kazuya to see the cities and villages and he finally introduced himself.

"The name's Heishiro Mitsurugi, do not forget this name."

"My name is Jin Kazama and this is my father, Kazuya Mishima. It was my first time exploring your town and defeating Yoshimitsu earlier. It was my duty to search something important."

"Kazuya is your father, am I right? He really did teach you how to train in swordsmanship." Heishiro jokily said and Kazuya becomes dismayed by this.

"Listen... I didn't teach him to fight with weapons. We Mishimas usually fight bare handed."

"So Jin... how did you learn to use your sword? I know Bushidos or Battousais are very strong to use their katana to knock them down on purpose." Heishiro asked seriously as Jin replies in a nod.

"Uh... If you're gonna ask me that question? I haven't learned in fencing yet. But I learned Kendo in high school..."

"What!? High School? Gahahaha... this is ridiculous..." Heishiro laughed loudly as Kazuya was disappointed to his answer as he shakes his head.

"Jin, you shouldn't say that... I know it's a terrible answer but you made yourself like a laughing stock with the crowd."

"I have nothing to say, father... It's just that I don't want to show my kendo skills to anyone else."

"Don't bother... I was very curious... I'll be waiting for you at the arena. You two should wear traditional clothes like us." Heishiro said telling them. "Oh yeah... Natsu just made something for the both of you to wear. Now good luck..."

When Heishiro leaves to go to the arena, Both Jin and Kazuya watch him leave until Jin becomes dismayed about his Heishiro's words earlier.

"Father... does he mean? We're gonna wear like them?" Jin said becoming sensitive when wearing their outfits as Kazuya scolds him while walking away.

"Now stop being like a baby, Jin. We had no choice but to wear it."

Outside of the dressing room, Natsu was there waiting for them to come out as she thought.

Gosh... I've never seen people in modern world can wear this. I just hoped if I could wear that outfit like they do?

Inside, both are shown wearing the fundoushi as Kazuya begins to dress with the sarashi shorts.

"Father... I really hate wearing this ridiculous outfit." Jin said became dismayed while wearing the outfit and Kazuya laughs.

"Jin, I haven't watch you beat that garbage that my father had borrowed. Too bad, that I want to see you wearing that, hahaha..."

"This is not funny...?" Jin said angrily raising his brow.

"Everyone also noticed me wearing that outfit. They knew that I was more sexier than you do." Kazuya smirked and Jin shakes his head.

"Don't compare me to you, father? Uncle Lars is more sexier than you do. You know what I meant?"

"..."

"You don't want to show more of your bare skin to anyone else. I know mother would see you like that?" Jin said telling him although he was behind him which he slaps his butt. "Owww... Hey, what was that for?"

"I had no intention of slapping your buttocks, Jin. But you simply inherited your mother's butt dimples, hahaha..." Kazuya happily laughs as he finally ties his black traditional shirt and a matching white geta sandals. "Let's go, Jin... You're gonna fight Mitsurugi in that arena."

When Kazuya leaves, Jin becomes frustrated and blushes in embarassment after what he said as he thought while clutching his butt.

Father, if you keep embarassing me in front of everyone else, I'm going to kill you...

At the Imperial City stage, Heishiro was waiting for his opponent as everyone is watching the fight as Jin arrives in a blue long sleeved kimono shirt with a dark blue obi which tucked into his kimono with a Kazama crest designs in each side of his long sleeves and a black geta as the Mishima War Sabre is on the left side of his waist.

"Well well, Jin... It appears you look like a young bushido to face me." Heishiro said smirking as Jin points his index finger towards him.

"Okay, here's a thing... If I win the match. You have to tell me where the stone is located."

"A stone you say? You mean the Soul Edge, huh?" Heishiro said as he accepts the challenge. "Okay, I accept your challenge... and my blade begins to get angry at you."

"Huh?"

"It means... you have to taste my blade. Now Let's go and fight!" Heishiro smirks towards Jin as he goes to fight him wielding his two-handed katana as both begins in a deadly sword fight.

Kazuya notices Natsu is after by someone else as he goes to follow her. Both Heishiro and Jin are clashing with their swords and he manages to kick him to the ground as he goes for a final blow but Jin dodges as he knocks him with a Demon's Paw.

"Oww... I never seen you use your strength of your punches. So that's what your father is saying. You two are fighting in bare fists." Heishiro smirked as he continues to attack him as both are equally match.

Both continues to clash with their swords as Heishiro goes for a heavy slash which Jin dodges and noticed he was in the edge of the platform of the ring as Heishiro trips Jin with his low kick which he was knocked out on the ring making his first winner.

"Ugh... Hey, that's not fair...? This fight is supposed to be a real fight not this." Jin complained angrily as Heishiro realizes that he does not know the mechanisms of the fight.

"It seems that you don't know the rules about our fight, right now." Heishiro said as he grabs Jin's hand to lift him back up and now finally explains to him about the rules. "The rules are simple, we can actually defeat our opponent wielding with our weaponry to knock them down. However, If you get knocked out of the ring like I did to you, which means you lose the first round."

"So this one on one battle is different in our place. We can always knock our opponent even they can smash through the walls or descend to the ground." Jin said and finally knows their rules of their fight. "Now I finally understand the rules, If I beat you or knocking you out of the ring, I would be the winner."

"Let's just say we can make our fight into an enjoyable bout." Heishiro said as he readied his stance while wielding his two-handed katana.

"You may win the first round. Now for Round 2, I'm not gonna lose..." Jin said smirking as both continues to clash each other with their weapons.

Meanwhile, Natsu discovers a sacrificial jizo hidden from the grass only to be confronted by Kazuya.

"It appears you have hidden something?" Kazuya notices and Natsu hids it.

"Look, I'm not gonna hide or something?"

"Face it, I know for sure you have that stone. Now you better give it to us..." Kazuya said as Natsu shows it to him which he notices the "portalstone" is not in their world after all.

"It's just a sacrificial jizo. Someone actually wants to steal it from me." Natsu said and Kazuya senses Yoshimitsu was there and he knew he was a different than the present Yoshimitsu.

"I'm afraid your enemy is coming here." Kazuya said as he goes back to the Imperial City which Natsu follows him and Yoshimitsu notices trouble is about to happen here.

Meanwhile, Jin manages to knock Heishiro with a Right-Roundhouse Punch along with a heavy blow with his saber as he was on the ground.

"Hmph... You're very impressive as I thought. For the final round. I won't lose this time." Heishiro said as both continues to clash as they make a final blow with their weapons which both ends up in a draw. Both men becomes exhausted until Nightmare arrives to make an ambush as Heishiro saves Jin from an ambush and he was knocked down with a single blow and his armor and shirt was destroyed by it, rendering him in shirtless. Jin was shocked to see this.

"Heishiro...!"

"The nightmare will devour your soul!" Nightmare proclaimed as he got hit with a yellow laser beam and Jin notices his father Kazuya had transformed into Devil Kazuya.

"Jin, get away from him... that thing is trying to kill you."

Nightmare goes to attack him which he dodges his large weapon as Jin removes the sleeves from his blue kimono shirt as he transforms into Devil Jin while emitting in a red lightning. Heishiro slowly gets up while trying to hang on with his two-handed katana and to see Jin transforms into Devil Jin which he discovers the same person from a while ago.

"No way... Jin was..."

Devil Jin begins to attack Nightmare with his own moves as he gets the sword and the Mishima War Sabre transforms into a Devil Sword and both clashes in a deadly fight as Heishiro decides to aid him with hits him from behind with two heavy blows as Devil Jin charges his sword emitting with a red lightning as he multiple slashes Nightmare with his sword with two kicks and another several slashes and goes for a multiple strikes in mid-air. Therefore, he executes his Rage Art which is his Critical Edge as he flew and smacks his opponent and hits with a red laser beam on his forehead and slams him through the ground and grinds through his face and hits with another laser. Nightmare attempts to attack them both as he succumbs to his injuries in Devil Jin finally reverts back into Jin and becomes exhausted for a moment he defeats Nightmare and Heishiro was surprised to see him. Kazuya in his devil form flew back down as he reverted back to normal.

"Thanks for the help, Jin." Heishiro said thankfully.

"This monster... who was he?" Jin said wanted to know who he is.

"Nightmare, is a monster who wants to devour other people's souls. I believe he wants your soul to be devoured." Heishiro said telling him and he recognizes Jin as man who becomes a devil. "I recognized you for being the man who transforms into a black feather winged devil. It appears that devil was you, Jin."

"So you did know my transformation?" Jin wondered and Heishiro smirks.

After the incident, Both Jin and Kazuya decides to continue their travels and knowing that the "portalstone" is not on their world and Heishiro along with Yoshimitsu came to see them.

"Jin... you're going to travel around the world."

"No, Heishiro... we're travelling through time. My father had informed me that the "portalstone" was not in their world after all." Jin said calmly and Heishiro tells him.

"I'll keep that secret to anyone about what I found out after what happened. Now I realizes that you and black winged devil is the same person."

"Hmph... I never thought Mitsurugi knows you, Jin." Kazuya said coldly to his son.

"Jin takes this..." Heishiro said as he threw his silver token to Jin as he takes it. "It is my token for our friendship and our one on one fight. You need to practice your blade it is the most important thing if you master your weaponry."

"Thank you, Heishiro..." Jin said thankfully as both himself and his father, Kazuya begin to leave and Yoshimitsu loudly tells him.

"Do not forget... to bring the present version of Yoshimitsu. I can't wait to face him!"

"Sure..." Jin agreed as both men continues to move.

Heishiro and Yoshimitsu watches them leave as Patroklos, Natsu and Siegfried arrive to see them.

"Who are those two? They looked familiar?" Patroklos wondered and Siegfried notices they're from the modern world.

"It reminds me of an old man who ends up being transported into our world and he destroys the Soul Edge in order to return to his own time."

"Hehe... I guess you recognized that Heihachi Mishima, Siegfried. And guess what, I just met Kazuya and Jin. I guess those two are related to Heihachi." Heishiro said recognizing their relation to Heihachi Mishima and Natsu was shocked by this.

"Whoa... now that's incredible..."

At the outskirts of the world, both Jin and Kazuya discovers another warp door and to see that they can travel from another world.

"Looks like this is our cue, Jin. Once we get through that door, we can get changed to our normal clothes back on." Kazuya said telling him.

"You maybe right, but this outfit I'll treasure this as always especially the silver token that Heishiro gave me." Jin said as he closes his eyes and both enters the warp door to travel in a different world.

Meanwhile, Ryu and Ken arrive at the Sushestovanie Island as all the inhibants are infected with T-Phobos virus.

"Whoa... this place is all whacked up." Ken said noticing the island and Ryu knows they are in the current timeline in Chris' world.

"Did Chris know this place?"

Both men soon were attacked by an Afflicted as both manages to knock them down with their Ansatsuken moves.

"Ryu, I guess these horrible creatures are trying to attack us." Ken said gritted angrily and Ryu notices a gunshot and several Afflicted attempted to attack both of them which they were shot in the head.

Both soon notices a man wielded dual pistols as it hits them to their head with a special rapid shots. The man reveals to be Leon S. Kennedy.

"You gotta be kidding me, are you people from Street Fighter?" Leon asked after he saves them.

"So you did know? Who are you?" Ryu asked calmly and Leon smirks.
