Chapter 9: The Ancient Prophecy
Secret Base in Japan
Meanwhile somewhere at a secret place in Japan, Jin was tied up in a chair in a dark room with no sun light and no windows to clear up the room. The only thing in the room was a speaker from the roof above his head.
"Ugh, where... where am I?" Jin asked when he woke up and looked around the dark room.
"Good, you are awake, we have treated your gunshot wounds so you just have to recover. Now listen carefully, I'm going to ask you some really easy questions. If you don't cooperate, you'll feel shocking pain in the chair you're sitting in. Then you rather have those gunshots then this." an unknown voice said through the intercom.
"What in the name of... Let me out of here!" Jin said mad.
"Sorry, but you're not the one who's demanding anything, I am that one. Now let's start shall we?" the unknown voice told him.
"What is this, some kind of children's game. If you don't get me out of here, I have no hope of getting free nor the world... Aaaaahhh." Jin yelled when he got an electric shock.
"Name?" the unknown voice said.
"Aaaahhh!" Jin said when he received another painful shock.
"I said name!" the unknown voice spoke.
"Ugh, ugh... Kazama Jin." Jin said when he used his Japanese voice.
"Speak English, I know you can speak English fluently. Now Jin, why did you started a war on the world?" the unknown voice said.
"I did it to make everything better." Jin answered the voice
"Better? Do you release what you have done!" the unknown voice shouted.
"I had no choice I had to do it! No matter the cost! Gaaaahh!" Jin said as he got shocked again.
"You did all of this for yourself, why aren't you thinking about other people? The families you have hurt, the lifes you have ruined and destroyed." the unknown voice asked.
It'll be all over soon... If you get me out of here! Daaaaaaaahh!" Jin yelled when he gets another shock.
"Humph, I also heard that you were looking for someone, who might that one be?" the unknown voice asked him.
Jin gasped heavily for air as lightning strikes surrounded him after the shock.
"Tell me Jin Kazama, who are you looking for?" the voice asked him
"Ryu." Jin answered slowly.
"Ryu? What is it that you need from Ryu?" the unknown voice asked him immediately.
"I need his help, to get rid of my curse once and for all." Jin answered.
"What curse are you talking about?" the voice asked.
"The Devil Gene in my blood, if I don't get rid of it soon. You don't know what kind of disasters could happen to the world."
"But you didn't hesitate to start a world war, did you!" the unknown voice said as he shocked him again.
"Rather have this world war, than my devil powers fully unleashed!" Jin shouted.
But the lighting was seen very clearly, somehow Jin was absorbing the lightning into his body.
"You'll release it! The electric shocks are only waking it up! Aaargh!" Jin said when he was trembling in his chair.
"Don't worry about that, now here is my last question. What is your business with the South Pole and the Pandora Box?" the voice asked.
"Ryu and I are the key for the Pandora. We are... argh!" Jin said as he was shuffling in his chair even faster.
"Answer me, go on!" the unknown voice said as he shocked him again.
But then again, Jin absorbed the lightning into himself and started to change.
"What's going on, what is happening to you?" the unknown voice asked as Jin was changing into a devil again.
The unknown person left the intercom and rushed into the room.
"Hey, what are you doing, get back down here, or I'll take you down myself." Cammy said.
Devil Jin was floating in the air as he looked at Cammy.
"You insignificant woman, you do not have the rights to interfere with my plans. Stay out of my way, or death awaits you!" Devil Jin said as his third eye started to glow red.
"Oh yeah, we'll find out if it's true, come on!" Cammy said as she tried to attack Devil Jin.
But Jin already flew away through the roof away from the building.
"I don't know what kind of creature he is, but he will not get away with this." Cammy said as she started her pursuit on Jin.
Mexico, Ancient Ruins of Ogre
Meanwhile, Lars and Chun-Li were investigating the Ancient Aztec ruins in Mexico, trying to find out about Ogre's purpose. They walked through a hall with all kinds of Aztec hieroglyphs written on the walls.
"Lars, what do you think those hieroglyphs mean?" Chun-Li asked.
"I don't know, but I know someone who can translate this, let's keep on going until we find something important." Lars said as both walked though the hallways.
After a couple of minutes of walking, the two have arrived in a room where Ogre held his slumber. They walked towards his sarcophagus and tried to find some clues.
"Have you found anything that can help us?" Lars asked when he still looked around.
"Here, I found a switch, I wonder what that is for. Let's find out." Chun-Li said as she turned the switch that was on the side of a corner the opposite way.
The wall towards them disappeared to the right side and they both saw a big wall with hieroglyphs that resembles a Demon and a Devil.
"Wow, look at that wall, it's massive!" Chun-Li said.
"Look at the right side, that one looks like a demon and the other like a devil with wings. What could it mean?" Lars said as he pointed at the two beings on the wall.
"You said that you know someone who can translate this, can you contact him or her to ask them about the signs?" Chun-Li asked.
"I'm already on it." Lars said as he contacted Alisa on his wrist. "Alisa, this is me." Lars said.
"Hello Lars, how is your mission going with Officer Chun-Li?" Alisa asked.
"Well it's going great and all, but now we have to get back to business. You have to translate this wall for me, I'll send you the picture." Lars said as he sent Alisa the picture of the complete wall.
"Okay, understood. Give me a couple of minutes, I'll contact you later." Alisa said as she hung up and translated the sings.
"Okay, Alisa is translating the signs, we have to wait for a couple of minutes until she sends the translations back." Lars said.
"Fine then, I'll take another look around the room, be right back." Chun-Li said as she explores the room.
A half hour later, Alisa texted the meanings of the signs back to Lars.
"Here is the translation, do you want me to read it for you?" Alisa asked.
"No thanks, I'll read it myself, good job Alisa." Lars said as he hung up.
"So, what does the translation say?" Chun-Li asked.
"I'll read up loud so that you can hear it: In the year 2013, the century old box from a far distant place will land on planet Earth. The box will call for the two most powerful beings on the planet, the Raging Demon and the Aztec God of Fighting, to guard the box and make sure no intruders or ordinary people will claim it for themselves. The box knew that, even though he has the strongest beings protecting it, two of the most strongest martial artists of the world will travel to the South Pole to claim it. On that day, the two fighters will meet each other, the full potential of both will be unleashed on the South Pole. The world will be on the verge of destruction as the Demon and the Devil will fight to the death, to claim maximum power. Cities will be damaged and continents will tremble. If the Raging Demon and the Aztec God are defeated, one wish is granted if touched the box when it opens and shines his light in the air to let the world to see it." Lars read mysterious.
"So that's what the prophecy is saying? The Demon and the Devil will fight to the death for the box? I wonder who are the ones the prophecy is talking about." Chun-Li asked when she puts her hand on her chin.
"Well now we know the purpose about that green monster, but we need to prevent all of this from happening. We can't let those two beings destroy the world." Lars said encouraging.
On a Boat Towards Japan
Meanwhile, Ryu was on a boat at sea, on his way to Japan to meet with Ken Masters.
"Thanks for the ride Sakura, Ken might be in serious trouble and he might need my help." Ryu said worried.
"No problem Ryu-San, I hope he's okay too." Sakura said.
Ryu was looking at the darkness in the sky when he suddenly saw a man with Devil wings flying in the moonlight.
"Huh, what is that? Argh, why is my head hurting?" Ryu said when he looked closer and touched his head .
"What is it Ryu-San, what is it that you see there?" Sakura asked curious when she looked at the sky but saw nobody.
The Devil's eyes were glowing red and then suddenly the being disappeared behind the clouds.
"Hmmm, I know that I saw a man with wings flying right there." Ryu said when he pointed at the sky, unfortunately, there was no sign of anybody.
"Maybe you need some sleep, you look kind of tired." Sakura said worried.
"Yeah, maybe I should, good night Sakura, good night Blanka." Ryu said when he went to his room.
"Good night Ryu-San. Come on Jimmy-San, do you want to train a bit?" Sakura asked.
"Yes Sakura, but what do you want to practice first?" Blanka asked.
"Hmmm, maybe my current moves and improve them. How about that?" Sakura asked him.
"Okay, let's do it!" Blanka yelled.
"Easy Jimmy-San, Ryu-San is trying to sleep. Let's be a bit more quiet." Sakura whistled.
"Sorry Sakura." Blanka said when they started their training.
Aztec Temple
Back at the temple, Lars and Chun-Li were finished reading the prophecy.
"Now that we now what's going on, we have to get out of this place and prevent this from happening." Lars said.
"Good idea, let's get out of here." Chun-Li said.
Ogre, who was still on the South Pole, felt that they wanted to leave and raises his hand towards the direction of the temple. He tried to make a look-alike which was pink and appeared above Lars and Chun-Li in liquid form. It eventually reformed itself into Ogre himself.
"Tryiborik intrudu borasku. Acratack!" Ogre said (Let's see how the intruders handle this. Attack!) when he commanded the look-alike to attack them.
While they were trying to walk out of the temple, Lars noticed that someone or something was behind him.
"Wait Chun-Li... I'm having the feeling that we're getting followed." Lars said silently.
"I had that feeling too, wait... Lars behind you!" Chun-Li said when she saw the pink look-alike Ogre standing behind him.
The pink Ogre tried to used his Serpent's Venom, but Lars already noticed him.
"Hah!" Lars yelled when he used his Silent Entry to the back.
"That must be the creature of the sarcophagus... or is he? My men told me that he was green not pink." Lars said.
"Come on, there is no other way to get out." Chun-Li said when she stood in fighting stance.
They tried to attack the pink Ogre but non of their attacks worked, he knocked both of them easily away with no effort at all.
"Damn it, he's too strong. We have to get out of here and fast! We need more help to beat him." Lars said.
"If this creature really is that strong, then I don't know how we'll defeat the original later on." Chun-Li said when she ran away.
"Alisa, where are you!" Lars asked quickly while he was running away to the exit.
"I'm outside the temple, Tougou told me to wait for you outside." Alisa said.
"Listen, the creature that killed my men is right behind us. When we come out, I'll give you a signal and I want you to use your rocket arms to destroy the entrance, he'll get buried under the rocks, got it!"
"I'm on it Lars, I'll wait for the signal." Alisa said when she stood in place.
"Wait, rocket arms, you mean to say that Alisa is a robot?" Chun-Li asked.
"I'll explain that later, but now, we need to get out of this temple before we are history." Lars said.
The being was right on their tail as he was following them. Eventually Lars and Chun-Li made it out of the temple safely and ran out.
"Now Alisa, do it!" Lars yelled as he gave her the signal.
"Okay... Rocket Punch... Fire!" Alisa said when she launched her rocket arms and destroyed the entrance.
The pink Ogre tried to chase them but then got covered in the wreckage and got crushed by the rocks. He then changed into a pink liquid again.
"Phew, that was close. Hey look, that pink being has turned into some type of goo. Feels kind of soggy and wet." Lars said when he touched the goo.
"So that was not the real deal? If that pink being was that strong, I don't want to imagine how strong the green one on the South Pole is." Chun-Li said really worried.
"Now that we are save, let's finish our mission at the South Pole. Let's go everybody." Lars said.
"Hold up, I helped you out with this mission of yours. It's time that you'll help me with something, like I mentioned earlier!" Chun-Li said quickly.
"Oh yeah your comrades, do you know where they are, I'll settle some things for them. Where are they being held?" Lars asked.
"They are being held at in the Japanese prison, it's not that far from the city." Chun-Li said.
"Okay then, Tougou, tell the pilot to change course to the Japanese prison. Alisa, you go to the South Pole and watch over the box, when you are in trouble, make sure you get out of there as quickly as possible. Don't let the two beings get a hold of you." Lars said.
"Sure, don't you worry, I'm off!" Alisa said when she flew away
"Thanks, I really appreciate your help." Chun-Li said.
"No thanks, my pleasure." Lars said nicely when they left Mexico in his helicopter.
The Docks
At the docks, Vega was trying to get out of the water and laid on the ground gasping for air. He then used his wrist to contact Bison himself.
"Bison, we have a traitor on our side." Vega said.
"She has betrayed you, hasn't she?" Bison said wisely.
"Wait... you knew about this? You knew this would happen all along?" Vega asked shocked
"Vega, you don't know Juri that well do you. I have anticipated her betrayal from the beginning, when I asked her to join me." Bison explained.
"You should have let me know Master, I could have done something about it!" Vega shouted at Bison.
"Watch your tongue Vega, I have very little patience with you right now!" Bison shouted infuriated.
"Nothing, well then, what should I do next boss?" Vega asked
"Spy on her and tell me the right opportunity to capture her. When you see it, contact me again. I have a special surprise for her up my sleeve. Hehehe hahahaha!" Bison said when he laughed sinister.
An Unknown Forest
After a couple of hours, Jin awoke in an unknown forest. He wasn't himself as his eyes were still red as the devil. He stood up like a zombie and wandered through the forest.
"Beware Demon, the demigod is about to be awaken! Beware Demon, the demigod is about to be awaken!" Jin said repeatedly when he kept on walking like a zombie.
