Chapter 9: Brian's Arrival
In the real world, everyone in the news was spreading about Hunyo's disappearance. Until his wife Marissa Panganiban grieving over her wonderful husband after Brian tells her about what happened to him.
"Why did you do this, Hunyo? You shouldn't be dead, sob...?" Marissa cried while sobbing into tears.
"Calm down, Marissa... Hunyo wasn't dead." Brian said trying to calm her.
"How come he's not dead if I haven't seen him...?"
"Rei says that Hunyo was accidentally transported to a different place. Once I found him, I would definitely beat him up to the bloody pulp." Brian said became impatient.
"Brian... You can't mean that."
"He has been depressed since you two had a fight. His job was starting to fall apart because of the vice dean's judgmental behaviour. Hunyo knows he never acts like a playboy." Brian explained. "I decided that I will take him back home."
Brian was determined to get his friend back, Marissa smiles as she gets her husband's things as she gives him.
"Here..." Marissa said as she tells him. "These are Hunyo's things. He used this for fighting. I'm sure you might able to take him back home."
"Sure... I'll take him back." Brian said as he departs to Silveria Corporation.
On their way to the Mishima Estate, Hunyo looked into the night sky turned into dark clouds.
"It's going to be rain soon."
"..."
"...I hate accidents." Hunyo was disappointed as he drives the SUV.
When they arrived, the gate was open as Hunyo stops driving.
"Why did you stop, Mr. Panganiban?" Xiaoyu asked worried.
"I have a bad feeling someone was guarding in this estate." Hunyo said raising his brow as Jin nudges him.
"Shhh... look you two."
The trio saw few Tekken Forces become patrollers in the Estate. Jin knows his grandfather leads on his own unit.
"This can't be right, those guys were definitely guard this place." Hunyo said seriously.
"So then, what do we do?"
"We'll get rid of them... I know my grandfather wasn't here in this estate. We have to take them down."
"But...?"
"We had no choice but to get rid of them." Jin said as gets out of the car.
"Well looks like we're going to barge inside of the estate." Hunyo said as he gets out of the driver's seat.
"Wait for me...?" Xiaoyu gets out of the back seat as she goes with Jin and Hunyo.
The patrollers found out that Jin is here in the estate as he is ready to shoot him. Jin knocks them one after another. Hunyo heavily punched the patroller to the groin as he kicks the other one and Xiaoyu knocks the patroller with her Chinese martial arts. Once it's done, everything became quiet.
"Huff huff... We finally did it." Xiaoyu said getting exhausted.
"Man... At least there just foot soldiers to beat them." Hunyo said seriously and Jin looked into the sky and it is starting to rain.
"Aww... It's raining." Xiaoyu cried.
"Damn, after all we fight against these idiots. We're gonna get sick if we were tired of fighting." Hunyo said as he closes his eyes in disappointment.
"The Mishima Mansion is nearby in this estate. We need to move." Jin said seriously as Hunyo agrees with him.
"He's right. We might take refuge in the mansion." Hunyo said as he challenges both Jin and Xiaoyu. "Say, how about we can sprint up to the mansion, what do you say?"
"Mr. Panganiban... it's still raining? We can't do that? " Xiaoyu complained childishly as Jin stops her.
"I think it's a great idea, Xiao. I know where the mansion is. But my clothes are all washed up in the rain."
"Oh well... it's pretty good if we sprint. But once, we're in the mansion we can take a shower after this." Xiaoyu said getting impatient.
"Well... Let's run, haha..." Hunyo said as he run straight to the mansion first. "I hope you two can come up."
"Mr. Panganiban... Ugh..." Jin grunted as he follows Hunyo while running as Xiaoyu knows they were trying to leave her.
"Hey, you two... you can't leave me here... I don't want to get sick?" Xiaoyu reacted as she runs quickly to follow both as it continues to rain.
At Silveria Corporation, Brian prepares to go as he takes Hunyo's things with him.
"Brian, are you ready?" Rei asked.
"I'm ready..."
"Take this notebook laptop, you might find out something about the mysterious box."
"Thanks so much, Rei." Brian said thanking him as Rei presses the crystal as it activates.
"Listen, Brian... Once you were in a different world. There's no turning back." Rei said as Brian ignores him.
"Well I'll be off. I want to take Hunyo back." Brian said as he touches the purple crystal and vanished in thin air.
"...why everyone wouldn't listen to my advice, sheezh..." Rei grunted.
At the Mishima Mansion, Jin is done taking the shower as he wears sleeping clothes for the night. He dries his hair with a towel on his neck and Hunyo sees him who also wears sleeping clothes.
"Did you enjoy the run?" Hunyo asked nicely.
"Yeah... it was fun." Jin smiled as he enjoys. "You got tripped in the stairs before you get into the mansion hall."
"Hehe...yeah, you made it first before me." Hunyo said in a friendly manner.
"This is the first time you give me a lot of challenges and it was a fun race. I've never expect you can sprint in the rain." Jin said amusing on Hunyo's challenges.
"When I was a kid, my father trained me these obstacle courses. Then, he and I we've been playing tag in the rain. That's how I trained so hard to sprint in the bad weather." Hunyo explained and Jin became happy to him.
"By the way, are you sure you're gonna stay in that room?"
"Of course... the bed is comfy and the bathroom is great." Hunyo commented.
"I should be resting now." Jin said nicely and Hunyo gave him advice.
"Before you go, there's something I need to tell you."
"What is it?"
"About Xiaoyu of course, she seems to be very attached to you. A man should be nice to a woman and to treat them nicely. That's how a man should ever be." Hunyo said gently.
"Uh..." Jin said blushing as he turned back on Hunyo. "Xiao and I were long time friends since high school. I always treat her in a friendly way. But I never expect she's always by my side. I tried to tell her it's dangerous but she insists to fight."
"You better check on her, Jin. She needs you." Hunyo said calmly.
"Okay... Goodnight, Mr. Panganiban." Jin said as he leaves the room and Hunyo watches him.
On the master's bed room, Jin tries to check upon Xiaoyu he saw her in her sleeping clothes and her hair is down after taking the shower. He gazed her look and Xiaoyu saw him.
"Jin... why are you here?" Xiaoyu asked as Jin turned around, blushing.
"Nothing, Xiao...? I was checking upon you, that's all."
"Are you blushing?" Xiaoyu said as she checked on him. "Don't tell me that you like me if my hair is down?"
"Xiao...?" Jin said as he admitted. "I like you if you're hair is down rather than two pigtails."
"Uh..." Xiaoyu said as she blushes. "Really... am I...?"
"..."
"It's okay, Jin. I always remove my pigtails if I am going to sleep. I know you're pretty busy." Xiaoyu said sadly.
"That's not what I mean...?" Jin said blushing. "It just...?"
"Look, Jin... I know you want to obtain Pandora, right. If anything happens to you, I'm right here by your side. We need to work together."
"Xiao... thanks." Jin said thankfully to Xiaoyu.
"We can work together to find Pandora just to cure your devil curse." Xiaoyu smiled and Jin became hesitant to her.
"..."
"You're still gloom? You don't want me to go with you?" Xiaoyu said angrily.
"Of course, you come. I feel hesitant because of your clothes you wear." Jin replied while looking quietly at her white sleeveless shirt and shorts.
"Uh..." Xiaoyu said as her cheeks became rosier.
"You look good, Xiao." Jin complimented as she giggles.
"I'm glad you like it."
Jin became interested to Xiaoyu. He remembers what Hunyo told him and he hugged her amorously.
"Xiao... I hate if anyone hurts you. I'm here to protect you."
"Jin... I'm glad you were worried about me. Thank you..." Xiaoyu said thanking him and both had kissed for the first time.
Meanwhile, Hunyo is sleeping as he woke up, sensing danger as he leaves the room to check outside. He quietly tiptoed in the living room as he thought.
I couldn't sleep in the middle of the night. Damn, why is it happen to me?
Suddenly a purple light glows in the living room and the man falls on the ground. Hunyo realizes it was his friend Brian.
"Brian...?"
"Ugh... where is this place?" Brian said hurting as he saw Hunyo was here. "Hunyo... you're alive."
"Brian... hey man... I'm glad that..." Hunyo said as Brian delivers a kick at him.
"You jackass... I've never seen that you're alive! Grr, you make your wife getting worried because of you?" Brian savagely replied. "How could you...?"
"Shhh... just be quiet, Brian. Everyone is sleeping here?" Hunyo said stopping him.
"I'm going to take you back home, right here and now..." Brian said angrily and Hunyo counters.
"How can you take me back home if you're trapped in the world between both Tekken and Street Fighter? You make yourself hard for you in getting here."
"What? You mean I can't get back to our world? ARGGGGHHH! I'm all trapped!" Brian screamed as Hunyo shuts him up.
"Stop making noise, Brian...? Everyone is still sleeping?"
"Darn... I should listen to Rei." Brian said as he blames himself. "I can't believe I ended up here just like you. There's no turning back now."
"You need rest, Brian. Tomorrow we're gonna seek a wondering fighter." Hunyo said as Brian tells him.
"All right... I'll tell you everything tomorrow. Everyone thinks of you were dead."
"I am...?" Hunyo nodded.
On the master's bedroom, both Jin and Xiaoyu are still in sleeping clothes while lying on the bed in covers. He slowly wakes up and he looked at Xiaoyu who is sleeping with him. He remembers the times they were in high school. Jin could not forget all the things they have in the past as he thought.
Xiao... I know you were there to protect me. Once we found Pandora, I can finally free from my curse. If nothing happens, I'm still continuing to find a cure. Don't worry about me, Xiao. I can do this alone...
Jin became worried for Xiaoyu as he falls asleep while putting his arm to her waist when she's asleep.
