The time I protect you

by XiaoyinFan1

Jin and his new ally, Yua Mitsuki, discovered that the necklace the G-Corp and Elite Combat Forces were hunting was bought by Xiaoyu, without knowing what truly it is! What will Jin do to protect Xiaoyu from great danger? XIAOYIN this is a crossover of my own imagination story, but I thought it's kind of cool if I mix it up with Tekken. (FINALE).

10. Chapter 10

Chapter 10: The incoming attack; the attack at Zaibatsu [part1]

-oOo-

"The planes have engaged now, sir."

"Good. Are the missiles ready?"

"Sir, we got a situation about 50 miles ahead to us."

"Get the missiles ready, send in our air force." then Jin turned around to Yua, who was behind him, looking at him as if she was waiting for his orders. "You're good to go now, Yua."

Yua made a smile as she heard the news. She gestured Chris and Will, who were completely equipped with everything they need for combat. They are going in to attack.

"Alright Jin. Be careful, the enemy has their eyes upon us." then she set off and went outside the research facility ward.

They are now ahead of us, he thought. He told that without lying to himself. They are being dumped indeed by chances and hopes that they might hint back against the enemy. Why does it have to be like this? he thought, feeling he had been cheated, unfairly not knowing the enemies' moves.

Could I still protect Xiao in this situation? he thought again, as he looked at her, talking to Lili and Asuka. Xiaoyu is indeed aware of the situation that's dangerous, especially knowing she is the target. Jin took the Dragon's Eye to a safe place, somewhere secured at the laboratory. He thought about separating Xiaoyu and the gem; for if they had the gem, they won't have Xiaoyu, if they had Xiaoyu, they won't have the gem.

He'd rather make them have the gem, than them taking Xiaoyu. He thought those selfishly. But, nobody could blame him. Who would let their loved one in danger? I mean, he loves her truly. He couldn't do that to her.

He'd die suffering if he knew something bad would happen to her.

Jin turned to Nina. "Check out our security. They might have planned these as their decoy." In reply, Nina only nodded, and called Lars and Alisa with her. Hwoarang, who was at the corner, only watched at the people around him, who were making their pace, armed and alert, but Hwoarang couldn't feel he needs to do something. He was only staring at Lili, who had retorted such hurtful words (for his perception) to him. He didn't have the chance to save his master, would he let that happen to them now?

"Hwoarang …" Jin called. Hwoarang made a stern look at his rival. "Might you want to join Nina and Lars?"

Hwoarang didn't answer, but he grudgingly stood straight and followed Nina and Lars. Jin observed Hwoarang's mood; he knew Hwoarang couldn't believe he is indeed helping them …for the sake of safety of Xiaoyu.

"Hwoarang?" called Lili out. Hwoarang took a glimpse at the angel-looking girl, whose eyes are worried for him. "Be careful, will ya?"

Hwoarang stiffened and blinked when Lili told him that. This girl is indeed worried for my sucking life …he thought. He scoffed a breath and turned to Lili, making a karate-like chop as he hit her head slightly with it. Lili flinched as she looks at Hwoarang, staring at her.

"I should be the one saying that to you, you know?" he said, chuckling. "Be careful, will ya?"

Lili, whose cheeks are burning, nodded in reply. "O-Of course I will." then she shoved his hand grudgingly, making Hwoarang laugh at her. "You think I'll get easily laid by those freaks?"

"Nah! I'm just worried you might call my name for help." then he stuck out his tongue.

Fuming, Lili burst to her temper. "You stupid red-haired boy! Who would ever want to do that?"

"Yeah yeah …whatever princess …" then he turned around and waved his hand as he walks.

Please be alright …Lili.

…..

Jet planes went crossing the port. One by one, they are flown away by numbers. Yua, Will and Chris walks at the airdrome, passing every soldiers and pilots. Yua was walking between Will and Chris, making her the 1st in command. Yua made this company possible for her only purpose: to kill Gen. Maxwell.

Yua was wearing her long leather jacket which was short sleeved, her hands covered by fingerless gloves, her belt full of ammunitions, to her side where her samurai is hanging, and on her legs attached her dessert eagle. Her boots have hidden daggers, so as Will and Chris.

Will was wearing his black leather suit, while Chris was wearing his high-collar leather suit and pants. The trio walked towards a platform, where the other soldiers are standing in front, making military silence while staring at them. The 3 CEOs of Phoenix Intelligence Corporation, by authority, stared at their soldiers in their own eyes. The number of soldiers reached until the edge of their eyes.

Afterwards, Yua began to speak.

"The enemy is getting closer, and they want to destroy us, even the Mishima Zaibastu, and we are obliged to prevent such menace reaching our base." then she could feel that her eyes are getting redder. "Prove to me you are worth it to be called our soldiers, that you are worthy to have the honor to be called the PIC soldiers." feeling their auras lifting up, getting chills on their skin, Yua stretched out a samurai to them. "DESTROY THEM ONCE AND FOR ALL!"

"HAI!" as the soldiers attached their feet together, and their rifles at their side. Yua, Will and Chris saluted to their soldiers, which was followed by a battalion of troops.

Staring at them, Will made a glance at Yua, whose dark chocolate eyes had a little shade of crimson influence on her eyes.

She's definitely into this, Will thought. Yua glared at him and gestured him to take the first command. He nodded in reply. "Ok, move out!"

Along with the soldiers, they entered the military helicopter. It flew up high as it left the Zaibastu.

Chris was cleaning, assembling and fixing his pistol and dessert eagle, while Will checked their loads and weapons to be used. Yua was standing behind the pilot.

"Fly up to 7000 ft, right above the central force of the enemy." and so did the pilots. Everything's according to plan, thought Yua, as she made a smirk. She then turned around and saw Will behind her, looking at her, with the same thought on his mind.

"Everything we need is complete, orders?" then he smiled at her. Yua only scoffed a breath as she walks past Will.

"Still have that anti-gravity on your shoes?" she asked.

"I've always wore them." he replied. Yua stopped walking, and turned to him, with eyes reflecting of disbelief.

"What? Are you crazy?" she chuckled. Will approached her as he puts his hands inside his pockets.

"Well if being crazy is the basis of me being prepared, yes." then he stared down to her eyes, which made Yua felt like she's melting (very unusual from a feisty military in command). "And …if thinking about a girl while in battle is crazy for you …what do you think?"

Yua pulled away as she rolled her eyes mockingly to Will. "This is no time for that Will, you know that." she said raising one eyebrow, crossing her arms. "Call Chris, we better be off in no time."

"Wait, Yua!" halted Will. "We need to be careful in this, especially you, ok?"

Feeling his worries for her, Yua made a sweet smile to him for the first time, then leaned forward to kiss him by the lips. Will, along with the pilots behind them, was a bit surprised at her sudden action. She pulled away and stared at Will's unexplained reaction.

"I know you and Chris will be there for me at all times."

Then Will made a convincing smile to her.

Chris who had done his business in cleaning his beloved weapons, whistled annoyingly to Will and Yua. "I hope you two are aware that battle areas are not really that popular to dates." he said, chuckling mockingly at them, signaling the pilots to turn around and mind their work.

One soldier approached them. "The parachutes are ready." but Yua only made a chuckle as she shook her head in the process.

"We are not going to need those." she declared. The soldier tilted his head.

"M-Ma'am?" asked the soldier confusingly. "But you're going to sky dive, right?"

Chris laughed at the fellow soldier, as he patted its shoulder that made the soldier turn around him.

"Trust me, we don't need parachutes. We only need …zero-gravity." he said, making a smirk as he glared at Yua and Will. The soldier was still confused; thinking if his bosses are committing suicide or not, but it's impossible.

"Yua-sama, we are 6598 ft above the target." as the pilot reminded them.

"Good." then she turned to Will and Chris. "You good to go?"

"Pft, and you dared to ask me?" teased Chris.

"Always ready, Yua." clarified Will, winking at Yua.

Yua smiled at their replies. "Great …time to sky dive."

….

"…planes are everywhere near the Mishima Zaibatsu. According to the speaker, they are setting up military drills and launching exercises, but some people aren't convinced about their explanation. Some experts say…"

Jin was watching at the big screen of the hologram TV, watching and listening to the reporter telling the news about the sudden panic they have caused. They couldn't tell every people about the real situation, that's why they have to tell a lie that they are setting up some military drills and such to convince them. It's up to them if they are going to believe them or not.

"…Jin Kazama, CEO of the Mishima Zaibatsu clarified there is nothing to be worried about, however they warned them that they should stay at their houses or evacuate in any case of damage. Now, for the sports news, tennis player…" then he ordered them to turn it off.

Xiaoyu, who was beside him, glanced at him, as he glanced to her. She drew a line to her cheeks, then Jin slid his hands to hers. Jin felt he's doing great in warning the people, but those weren't good enough. He needs to prevent any people get involved in this upcoming battle, although he is more worried, if they made it here to the Mishima Zaibatsu and get her.

"You think I've done enough?" asked Jin, even though he knew the answer, but he still asked for Xiaoyu.

She smiled shyly as she turned her body in front to face Jin. "I'm not gonna lie to you, but I know you are doing everything you can." Jin was pleased to her reply, that it made him smile. Their hands were still clumped, with their arms being attached together. Asuka, who was behind them, noticed their affection.

"E-Ehm …" interrupted Asuka, which made Jin and Xiaoyu turned around and let go of each other's hand, embarrassed. "…I don't want to break it up to you, but …" then she looked at their faces. "…what the hell is going on between you two?"

Jin, out of his league, only sighed and turned his red face away. As for Xiaoyu, she scratched her head, swaying her body. Asuka then made a conclusion about them.

"Uhh …we uhh …"

"Ok …if you don't wanna answer, it's fine." she said as she turned around and smiled while she shook her head.

They felt that their relationship is getting obvious as time goes by. Oh well, it's part of it, you can't hide it forever you know?

"So …why lie to people, Jin? They have the right to know what's happening." asked Asuka to her cousin.

"It will only cause huge mayhem if I told them the real situation. They might panic and even kill themselves."

Asuka crumpled her face at his reply. "Is that how the way you see it?"

Jin only sighed. "What do you think?"

"Hey I'm asking you!"

"That's why I'm asking you back."

"Oh you!" fumed Asuka.

…..

Inside the G-Corp helicopter, soldiers began to get ready for the mission. Their aircraft was humongous yet it has its own airport for their planes and jets. General Max was at the security systems, viewing each sky surveillance cameras. He saw a battalion of planes and helicopters taking charge towards them, but where is their central force?

"Their central force is nowhere to be found here sir." announced one soldier. Gen Max was somewhat displeased, but he thought maybe Yua and the others is coward enough to face them. But he knows Yua, she's full of surprises.

"Check out more. Don't ever approach me if you don't find anything." declared the general as he walks away and went to check Anna. She was talking at the phone.

"Yes Kazuya …we know that already …are you sure?" she said over the phone. Then she made a chuckle. "…oh well …then we'll see each other later …" then she hanged up. She turned around and saw General Maxwell behind her, eavesdrop their conversation.

"He's gonna join the party?" asked the witty general. Anna only chuckled as she puts her phone down.

"Show time …"

…..

"Yeah! We are good to go now!" exclaimed Chris with clarification to Jin at the telecommunicators which was heard at the ward. "I know you could see us all at the camera now, see me waving?"

"No."

"Oh come on Jin! You've got to see me waving!"

"The resolution of the camera is quite poor, yet I don't care if I see you waving at us."

"Jeee …you're so mean Jin. Anyway, we are almost off." Chris reminded. "No parachutes, here we go!" then the communicators went static.

"NO parachutes?!" exclaimed Asuka, Xiaoyu and Lili.

"Are they killing themselves?!" asked Asuka. "That's stupid!"

"That …is too much." retorted Lili.

Jin only made a slight chuckled at the innocence of his cousin and Lili, not knowing what the 3 CEOs could do and have during battles like this. They are considered more experienced than Jin, for they started military at such young age. Stunts like this are one of their favorites in doing missions.

Inside, they still think like kids, quoted Jin to himself.

They were viewing their helicopter at the big screen.

Jin turned to find Xiaoyu feeling nervous at the action they are going to do, thinking they are risking too much of their lives for her. She was clumping her hands to her chest, as if praying that nothing would happen to them. Jin patted her head, like he would always do when they were in highschool whenever Xiaoyu was worried for her exams. Xiaoyu looked up, and saw an encouraging smile from Jin. Her heart calmed down as she exhaled her anxiousness out.

…

Yua, Will and Chris were standing at the edge of the access door of the helicopter, feeling the fast wind go pass their hairs and body. They were shouting while they talk so they could hear themselves.

Yua turned to them, who were standing at her both sides. "Since when was the last time we did this?"

"Hmm …when we did a mission back at Russia?" reminded Chris, thinking if his memory was accurate. "Russia was it? It was cold that time."

"You sure?" asked Will, as his hair was being blown by the wind. "It happened when we were still starting our service as captains back then."

Yua remembered that time, when they were awarded and proclaimed to be her Vice Captains at ECF, and their first mission with her was at Russia. "I remember how Chris awkwardly jump off the helicopter that time." then they all laughed at the little reminisce she put out. At their position, they could view the targeted central force right below them.

"We are at 7000 ft now, ma'am!" shouted the pilot, due to the winds howling inside the helicopter. "Are you sure about this?!"

"Keep watch! Go back to the force immediately after this, understood?" she asked, instead of answering the unsure question of the pilot.

"YES MA'AM!" shouted the pilot.

"GOOD!" then she walks a few steps backward, along with Chris and Will. They all turned a switch at their shoes, the anti-gravity. It'll prevent them to land at anywhere at any height without injuries. They made an eerie smirk at the opening, remembering how they've all done this before. This is the most amazing adventure and part of the mission, thought Yua.

"3 …2 …1 …mission starts now!"

After few moments, they all ran as fast as they could towards the opened door, viewing only the sky and clouds under them. They made a jump, outstretched their hands widely, and winds began to go across their faces. They aimed at a military plane miles under them. Their bodies were inclined downward as they sky dive to the target. When they were close, they began to arm themselves.

Yua pulled out her samurai, Chris took his pistols on his hips and Will took a grenade on his hands. Moments later, Will threw it hard on the surface of the plane. It exploded and many soldiers went flying out the position. It alarmed the other soldiers and began to take their rifles and started firing at them.

While still in the air, Yua managed to prevent the bullets by only swaying her samurai, making the bullets cut into halves, even sometimes making it go back to the ones firing at them. Chris started firing them, directly to the target he'll see. He shot them at their knees, arms, making them disabled. Even the smallest in his eyes, he could make a bull's eye without fail.

The commotion began and it alerted the security systems. Loud noises began to embark, and soldiers went coming and coming. They were outnumbered (3 against many soldiers, whew), but to start without fighting them all, Will began to release a smoke bomb as their feet landed on the platform without injuries and lives taken.

Yua made few slashes of her samurai to the soldiers on her way. Her red eyes gleamed red as she rests her samurai in a stance, positioning the blade in front of her face. She glanced at her back, and gestured Chris and Will to find an acceptable entrance, without knowing the enemy they are making their paces.

…

"SIR! Intruder alert!"

"3 unknown intruders have made their way to our airport!"

"Then what the hell are you doing?! Exterminate them!"

"We can't Miss Anna, a smoke bomb is blocking our vision."

Anna, in despair, kicked a wall so hard that she made a slight dent to it. "FIND THEM! Don't stop until you find them, or I'll find them to kill them for myself!" then she glanced at the silent general. "And you old man! Aren't you gonna do something? You're little brats have made their way here at the central force!"

General Max was only silent, intently closing his eyes. He was calm as if nothing was happening. He knew Yua and the others would come for them. He made a line to his cheek and glanced at Anna.

"Are you sure you want to kill them for yourself?" asked the general. Anna flinched, and didn't answer. "Brilliant, I guess you know who would handle them, right?"

"Tch, instead of making realizations for yourself, why don't you make a move?" as Anna made an eerie smile to her face. "As much as I want to kill that little brat, especially the girl, I know you wouldn't miss it for the world …am I right?"

General Maxwell only scoffed a breath and went outside their ward. As for Anna, she was waiting for the right time to attack. She remembered everything Kazuya had told her about their plan. Even if she's a bit impatient, she has to wait.

For the sake of a star studding entrance …she thought.

Her phone rang. It was Kazuya.

"Yes …?" then she heard him speak, and made an eerie smile to her beautiful face. "…great …I'm on my way now." then she hanged up. She walks with her stiletto shoes as she made it outside the ward.

…..

Jin was only walking, pacing again and again, his finger smudged at his chin. He was waiting for an update about the assignments he commanded. He hope that the movement he's making is going to be a success, nothing has to fail …nothing.

"Jin …" Nina called at his communicator. "…soldiers are now positioned at any possible entrance here at the Zaibastu. I've sent Alisa and Lars to keep watch at the roof deck. Hwoarang said we should put some soldiers or anyone to guard the gem at the lab. What do you think?"

Jin glared at Lili and Asuka, who also had their communicators with them. "I'll send Lili and Asuka to go to the lab."

"Hey Kazama! Are you insane!?" shouted Hwoarang. "You want to risk their lives?!"

"What do you think we should do huh?" retorted Jin. "Any ideas, Hwoarang?"

Hwoarang was only silent. Asuka began to speak.

"I think I'll go to Jin's idea."

"Me too." replied Lili.

"But—?"

"Hwoarang …trust us …" as Lili replied to her communicator with a sweet tone. "…we could do this."

Hwoarang's sigh was heard. "Fine …if anything happens to you …call me."

"Oh come on …" teased Asuka. "Enough sweet talks, let's get to business." then Asuka turned to her cousin. "We're going now …take care of Xiao for us."

Jin nodded in reply and watched them as they set off.

"We're at the roof deck now Nina." announced Lars. "We could view a perfect sight here. Alisa is now scoping the scene."

"What do you see now Alisa?" asked Nina.

"Yua, Will and Chris had made it to the central force of the enemy. They are starting to make their move now."

Jin felt relieved, at all the news he heard from his comrades. He didn't expect that the people he'd ignore and hate would be the ones that would help him, especially Asuka and Hwoarang. He knew his cousin would only want to help him, make him realize the craziness he's making up. Hwoarang, on the other hand, only helped for Xiaoyu. He knew Hwoarang would always treat Xiaoyu as a sister.

He then felt a little jealousy in his heart.

"Looks like everything's—." then a loud explosion and static noise was heard at Nina and Hwoarang's directory.

"Sir! We lost contact!" exclaimed one soldier to Jin.

…

While on their way to the lab, Lili stopped running when she realized Hwoarang was nowhere to be heard.

"Hwoarang? Hwoarang! Come in Hwoarang!" but there was no answer.

Asuka, having a feeling something will happen, grabbed Lili by hand.

"Come on Lili! We've got nothing to lose!"

….

"What happened?" as Xiaoyu tugged Jin's sleeve. He turned to her; he couldn't hide his deep shock and worry to what happened to both Nina and Hwoarang. "What happened? Answer me!" asked Xiaoyu again.

Jin stared at Xiao's eyes. "Nina and Hwoarang went static and became out of reach." he said as he breathed heavily. "Xiao, please stay close to me, ok?" he reminded her, having a glimpse to the possible situation they might have now. "Will you?"

"Of course I will Jin …" as she clumped her hands to his face. "…but I'm worried about my friends …" she asked. She felt she was doing nothing to help her friends.

Jin didn't reply to soothe Xiaoyu, for he too, was worried at them …especially Nina and Hwoarang. What happened to them? What was that explosion he heard? Are they alright?

He held her closer to him, and hugged her.

He didn't want to lose her, he didn't want to give her away, and he didn't want anything bad happen to her. "Just stay with me …" he whispered to her ears, with deep worries and fear inside him. He could here Lili at the communicator trying to make contact to Hwoarang and Nina.

"Nina?"

"Nina's nowhere to be heard too!" exclaimed Asuka. "Jin, we've made it to the lab now."

"Good …what's the status?"

"No one's here …" reported Lili. "Wait a sec—hey! Who are you?!"

Jin and Xiaoyu heard Lili cry out; there was someone else at the lab.

"Lili, what's going on there?" as Xiaoyu spoke to Jin's communicator. "Lili? Asuka?"

"Oh shit …" swore Asuka. "Not you …"

Asuka's words alarmed Jin so much. Who was there? Somebody entered and made it out the security?! Then he heard them roar and made an attack at the intruder. Jin was trying to call them out, but they were busy fighting whoever the hell it was. Jin turned to his soldiers and called them out.

"Hurry! Some of you go and check the laboratory!" then the soldiers moved at Jin's command. He looked at Xiaoyu, who has the same expression as him. Xiaoyu's heart was pounding fast, and so was he.

They were still listening to the swearing and attacks Lili and Asuka are making, suddenly, a loud crash of glass was heard on the communicator.

"Oh my goodness!" screamed Xiaoyu. Whoever in Lili and Asuka was that, it sure hurts a lot.

Jin was getting uneasy, troubled and having no idea what just happened.

"Lili, Asuka, come in." but no answer, yet their communicators hadn't turned static. "Come in!"

Then he heard somebody took the ear piece communicator. He was astonished at the voice he heard.

"You think you're friends would help you to stop me?"

He began gritting his teeth and narrowed his eyes. His anger rose and his blood boiled unsettling. His fist would curl out tightly, as his chestnut eyes reflected fury. This was the voice he would hate the most, all of his life.

"Father …" said Jin, then a loud chuckle was heard at the communicator. "How come you passed out from our security?"

"Tactics …son."

Lars began to join the conversation. "If you're thinking you can easily get away from us, then I suggest you to put down that thought."

"Like what are you going to do to stop me …brother?"

Xiaoyu's eyes widen; she felt frozen realizing, even though she didn't want to believe it, that Kazuya Mishima has entered the Mishima Zaibastu.

"I have the gem now …the girl is next." then the communicator went static.

Jin was frozen, breathing fast as he stares blankly at nowhere. His father is here now; unknowingly making his move. He is now aiming to get Xiaoyu. Kazuya had the gem, why would he want Xiaoyu now?

"Jin …" called Lars at the communicator; his fist tightening. Even though he wanted to come there and face Kazuya himself, he can't. "…take Xiaoyu to a safe place …GO!"

"Xiao …we need to go." then he dragged Xiaoyu with him out the research facility ward.

…..

The lab was completely destroyed; utensils and some lab equipments were at the floor. The glasses were broken, and the safe where the gem was kept was destroyed too.

Kazuya stepped at the 2 communicators, destroying it into pieces. He heard heavy footsteps in his direction. It was the soldiers of the Mishima Zaibastu. He made a mocking laugh, thinking that these soldiers don't know what they are doing.

"Are you sure about pointing your rifles at me?" asked Kazuya, as his one eye gleamed and let out a laser attack. The soldiers were put down easily. He was holding by his hand the necklace he's been looking for.

He looked down, and saw his nephew, Asuka, lying on the ground helplessly, along with Lili lying at stacks of glasses. "I'm not going to waste my time here." then he set off.
