Chapter 9- Manipulation
Kazuya, Anna, Miguel and Armor King all sit in Kazuya's office. Kazuya pulls out two suitcases filled with money. Miguel's and Armor King's eyes widen and their jaws drop.
Kazuya: I know you guys don't like each other, but I'm pretty sure you both speak the language of dinero. *Whispers to Anna* See? I did my research.
Anna: *Light giggle* Genius.
Miguel: No man offers zis mich cash wizzout one helluva reason.
Armor King: (What's the job?)
Kazuya: You both will assist me in taking down the Mishima Zaibatsu.
Armor King: (You want us to what?)
Miguel: *Slams table* I'M IN!
Anna: Someone seems eager.
Miguel: Jin is in that Zapata* I must kill him for my sister's honor, comprende?
*Emiliano Zapata: Famous Mexican revolutionary
Armor King: (If I wanted to make this kind of cash, I'd become a pro wrestler. Why should I help you discipline your brat?)
Kazuya: What if I told you that I'd help you avenge your brother?
Armor King: (Hah! How can you help?)
Kazuya: *Presses intercom button* Bruce, get to my office.
Bruce: *Shows up a few minutes later* Yeah?
Kazuya: Take Armor King to my latest prisoner. Anna, bring Ganryu over here. *Looks at a note* It's almost time to fulfill my promise.
At the same time, outside the G Corp…
Lars continues searching the building. Lili stays close by.
Lili: *Looks at her watch* Wait, Lars! I know a spot where you can get a great view! Follow me!
Lili points to a specific spot and forces Lars to stand there.
Lili: How do you like the view?
Lars: I can see Kazuya's office easily! Why didn't you tell me this before?
Lili: I just remembered it. Sorry.
Lars: It's okay, but I can't shake this funny feeling that I'm being watched.
At Lee's office, Lee is on the phone talking to Jin…
Lee: Alisa should be approaching the target soon.
Jin: Good. I want him alive. I want to question the deserter myself.
Lee: Understood. Well time to activate Alisa's capture mode then. *Presses a button* Everything will be…excellent.
Back to G Corp…
Ganryu enters Kazuya's office.
Ganryu: *Starts groveling at Kazuya's feet* I'm so sorry, boss! I didn't mean to abandon my mission. I shouldn't have let my love cloud my judgment! Please forgive me! *Starts crying*
Kazuya: GET UP! *Ganryu gets up almost immediately* I'll forgive you after one penalty game. It'll definitely toughen you up. I know for sure.
Ganryu: I'll do anything! ANYTHING!
Kazuya: In that case…*Kazuya grabs Ganryu and throws him out the window*
Ganryu: BOSS! WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY?
At the same time outside G Corp…
Lili and Lars continue to check out Kazuya's office when…
Lili: LARS! LOOK OUT!
Lars looks, grabs Lili and jumps out of the way of Alisa's charge.
Alisa: Are you Lars Alexandersson?
Lars: How do you know my name? *Puts Lili down gently*
Alisa: Lars Alexandersson, Tekken Force deserter. I have been ordered to capture you. *Gets in her fighting stance* Come quietly. Resistance will be futile.
Lars: *Gets in his fighting stance* I'll be the judge of that! *To Lili* Get back to your car. I'll be there soon.
Lili: Not happening. *Takes a few steps away and takes out her phone* Sebastian, bring the car over to my favorite viewing spot. *Hangs up and gets in her fighting stance* Shall we?
Lars: It's two-on-one. You sure you like these odds?
Alisa: Enough talk. Time to…
?: ?
Alisa looks up and is flattened by Ganryu. Ganryu gets up and sees Alisa's body.
Ganryu: *Flipping out* OH MY GOD! I KILLED ANOTHER LOVE ANDROID! *Looks at Lars* I…AM…SO…SORRY! PLEASE DON'T CALL THE COPS!
Lars: Sorry, that's not my robot and I don't think that robot was making sexual advances at me.
Ganryu: *To himself* If it's not his love robot, then he's just a witness so…
Ganryu attempts to body slam Lars, but Lars jump kicks Ganryu's face. Ganryu does a back roll to get back up and blocks Lars's forward chop. Lars grabs Ganryu's arm and does an over-the-shoulder throw. After Ganryu hits the ground, Lars takes a short breath of relief.
Lars: Whew, you're pretty heavy.
Ganryu: Years of overeating and rubbing against other mean…I mean sumo wrestling. So you guys aren't gonna call the cops, are you?
Lars: Seriously, you're Ganryu? How much crime did you commit?
Ganryu: I plead the fifth.
Lars: Lili, let's go see if Lee can fix that robot.
Ganryu: *Picks up Alisa's body and parts* I'll carry her.
Lili: *Pulls out her cell phone* Sebastian, drop Lars's things at home and bring the limo.
Sebastian: As you wish, my lady.
While the group is waiting for a limo, at G Corp…
Armor King walks into Marduk's room. Marduk looks scared shitless.
Armor King: (What's the matter? You look like you've seen a ghost.)
Marduk: You can't be alive! I killed you! The hospital confirmed it! I was arrested for it!
Armor King: (And now you'll die for it!)
Marduk: Wait King! Did you put on your master's costume to mess with me? I thought we were cool!
Armor King: (I'm not a forgiving little pussycat like King! Bruce, remove his cuffs! I want him to die squirming in a fair fight! A fair fight that Armor King didn't get!)
Bruce: *Uncuffs Marduk* Wait if he killed Armor King and you're Armor King…You know what I'll probably find out if we get drinks together.
Armor King: (How's like 9 tomorrow at The Beaten Wang?)
Bruce: We do have to take care of that old man and the cop, but he may know about me.
Armor King: (And I got into a huge brawl on the roof there. How about we try that new bar, Cumbot's?)
Marduk: Hey! What about my…
Bruce: *Interrupts* Perfect man. See ya when you sort your business. *Leaves*
Armor King: (I might like working here.) *Looks at Marduk* (Time to collect my down payment.)
Marduk: *In his thoughts* I just have to get past him, then I can try to bust outta here. Hiya!
Marduk tries to punch Armor King in the face, but Armor King does the jaguar men's signature chain of low kicks (We all get annoyed when it's being used against us) followed by a punch to Marduk's mid-section. Armor King finishes his combo by lifting Marduk into the air, leaping up and slamming Marduk to the ground headfirst.
Armor King: (You better put up a good fight if you want to get out of here alive! Though I really can't guarantee that.)
Marduk grabs Armor King's legs and pushes him to the ground. He starts repeatedly punching Armor King's face. Armor King knees Marduk's crotch, which causes Marduk to move and give Armor King room to sit up. Armor King sits up and headbutts Marduk's nose, causing Marduk to cover his nose while shouting in pain.
Marduk: *Sees blood on his hands* I think you broke it! Aughhhhh!
Armor King: (Your nose won't be the only thing that's broken!)
Marduk looks up and sees Armor King swinging a sledgehammer. Marduk tries to use his arms to block the sledgehammer yet the force of the blow coupled with Armor King's rage-fueled power sends Marduk flying out the building.
Armor King: (Brother, I hope you can rest peacefully now.) *Moment of silence* (Time to shower, maybe get a nap, then off to Kazuya's meeting.)
Marduk falls on a car parked outside of G Corp.
Marduk: *Struggling* Son…of…a…*passes out*
?: It just keeps raining men today, doesn't it? Didn't expect to see you fall out of G Corp. *Checks Marduk's pulse* Oh my. You're actually alive. I may have uses for you. *Pulls out his phone*
At Violet Industries, in Lee's office…
Lars (holding Alisa's broken body), Lili, and Ganryu sit at Lee's desk waiting when Lee enters the room.
Lee: Sorry to keep you guys waiting. You guys sounded like you were in an emergency on the phone. *Sees Alisa's body* Seems someone had a nice first day in the new city, Lars.
Ganryu: *Starts blubbering* IT'S ALL MY FAULT! I JUST FELL OUT OF G-CORP AND ONTO HER!
Lee: *To himself* He doesn't seem to remember that I captured him and gave him to Kazuya. *Grins* Excellent!
Lili: She looks so nice. Can you fix her, honey?
Lee: Don't worry, I'll take care of it. *Presses intercom button* Will the robotics division please pick up the broken robot in my office? But why don't you guys tell me the full story while we wait for the team?
Lars tells Lee the whole story and then the team appears. A robotics team enters and looks at Alisa.
Team Leader: Looks like a combat robot. Brand new by the looks of her parts that weren't as…damaged.
Lee: Can you fix and reprogram her then?
Team Leader: No problem, sir. Just give us a few hours.
Lee: In the meantime, Lars go get some rest. The jet lag must be getting to you.
Lars: Well I am a little sleepy but…
Lee: No questions. Sleep.
Lili: I'll call Sebastian and get you a ride home. *Lars exits*
Ganryu: Guess I'll go home.
Lee: Be here tomorrow, okay?
Ganryu: I'M A MEMBER, TOO? WHOOPEEE! I WON'T FAIL YOU! *Ganryu dances away*
Lee: Lili, you and I have a show to see.
Lili: What kind of show?
Lee: You'll see. It will be excellent.
Back at Christie's apartment…
Leo, wearing a white tuxedo, knocks at the door. Christie, wearing a red dress that shows her bust, answers it and lets him in.
Christie: I'm ready. We just have to wait for Julia to finish getting dressed.
Leo: Michelle said she's on her way and she said Lei's coming too.
Julia: Okay, I'm ready. *Walks out of Christie's room wearing a light blue dress (No fan service from her) that gives her the cute girl look*
Leo: *Blushes* You…look…ummm….ummm…great.
Julia: Hehe thanks. You look pretty handsome yourself.
Michelle: *Bursts in wearing a blue dress that shows her curves* Look at this cute couple.
Lei: *Enters wearing a regular suit* Sorry about her. So I guess we're all ready?
Leo and Julia: Umm yeah. Let's go.
Christie: Can't believe we're going to flirt with some strange researcher.
Michelle: I can't believe my daughter is wearing the least flirtatious thing for this mission.
Julia: MOM!
Leo: She looks…umm…perfect.
Julia: Thank you Leo.
Christie: Look at you, lover boy.
Lei: Can we just go?
Everyone but Lei agrees and they leave.
At the Mishima Zaibatsu…
Jin, Eddy and Nina stare at Tekken Force commanders disguised as them.
Jin: You both know your orders?
Dopplegangers: Yes sir! If there's an emergency, we'll press the panic button.
Jin: Nina, how about the scouting party?
Nina: They've confirmed a visual on Lei and the rest of them.
Jin: Good we'll follow them. Two squads will stay with our dopplegangers. The scouting party will follow them from a distance and meet with me and Nina later.
Eddy: What if we need to get rough?
Jin: We shouldn't have to. We capture the researcher and escape. I'll give the signal if we need to fight.
Eddy: No mercy?
Jin: The only people that stay alive are the researcher and us. Let's go!
They all leave.
Nina: *Looks at a picture in her wallet of the old gang* Just have to help Jin finish this. Then we can go back to normal.
Eddy: *To Nina* Chop chop, girl! We got a mission to do.
Jin, Eddy and Nina board a copter and head out.
At G Corp…
Kazuya has a meeting with Anna, Bruce, Armor King, Miguel, Bryan, Kunimitsu, and Feng.
Kazuya: Knowing Lee, this address is probably a fake.
Anna: Someone's thong is getting a peehole then.
Feng: But we know it's a trap so…
Miguel: We just thrash anyone who tries to get us!
Bryan: I like the way the new guy thinks. We'll rip them all apart.
Kunimitsu: *Enters* According to my intel, we can expect to find these people. *Gives envelope of photos to Kazuya*
Kazuya: This is definitely a joke. We'd best expect more than these guys.
Armor King: (What's it matter? We'll have a squad of Jacks or two to back us up.)
Bruce: We can handle a trap! It's Lee after all. We got this! Let's go!
Kazuya: I'll split us up into pairs. Anna, you're with me. We'll spring this trap and act accordingly. Feng and Kunimitsu, you'll have a squad of Stealth Jacks. Keep them in a concealed spot and wait for the time to strike. Bruce and Armor King, you'll lead Scouting Jacks and take out any hidden enemies. Bryan and Miguel, you'll lead Jacks and take out the grunts. I want to destroy all their soldiers then we capture any officers. Got it?
All: Got it!
They head out to Lee's designated spot.
In Lee's office…
Lee: See, Lili? *Turns on TV* We'll get views of all the action with my surveillance bots.
Lili: Can't wait to see it all go down.
Lee: It's time I established control over everyone. It will be…excellent!
