Chapter 9: A Battle to Remember

Justice attempts to attack them with its skill as the trio dodges. Sol remembers how he forced to merge Jack-O Valentine and Justice to make a new version of his old girlfriend Aria by using his Dragon Install. Jin attempts to hit with a single punch but it didn't do a thing while Ryu attempts to shoot a Shakunetsu Hadoken which was a direct hit.

"Damn it... this monster looks tougher than I thought. Just like I was overpowered by my father when he was in his devil form." Jin said remembering the time his father overpowered him.

"Sorry to explain the whole thing. This form we fought is just like how I forced to merge both Jack-O and Justice when King Daryl attempts to destroy it with the Saint Oratorio that I was crafted." Sol said knowing of the incident. "But this one is revived by the corrupted Gear that the explorer handed earlier. That's what I'm trying to destroy it in the first place."

Justice then attack them continuously until more corrupted Gears begin to attack all of Ramlethal's soldiers much to everyone's surprise.

"Wait a minute... what are those robots?" Daigo said as he uses True Massive Back to destroy it. Akira then unleashes her Hyper Energy Focus Cluster on one of the Gears.

"Brother Daigo... I felt disappointed to see them like this."

Yoko attempts to spin her yo-yo in a rainbow fashion while Koji beats them one by one. Sin, Millia and Ky also fight them as well. Justice then makes a deadly blasts on the trio which they avoided. Before it could hit Jin with a single blasts, a yellow beam appears to zap on Justice's back much to their surprise.

"That beam?" Jin said and he noticed his father Kazuya arrives in his devil form but wearing his fighting attire. "Father... I knew you would be here."

"Jin, you're still careless like you did before." Kazuya said while in his devil form and seeing this monster in Sol's game. "Just like you beat me down and sending me through the water falls. You have to show them your true power. Time to take that pathetic beast down!"

"Who's this guy?" Sol said noticing Kazuya's devil form and Ryu remembers the time he and Kazuya are rivals in the crossover game while his son, Jin are having a rival against Bison.

"He's Kazuya Mishima... he's Jin's father from their game."

"No kidding..."Sol remarked.

Jin has no other choice after seeing Justice is too strong enough to beat, he angrily transforms into Devil Jin in a red lightning fashion. Sol was impressed to see this as he too activates his Dragon Install. Everyone is getting worn out the fight as Xiaoyu arrives and beats another Gear with Shooting Star much to their relief.

"Xiaoyu... Thank goodness that you're here." Akira smiled happily as Daigo was amused to her outfit.

"Your outfit looks different than the last time I see you. Just like how Jin changes his outfit."

"Thanks for the compliment, Daigo. We have to be ready." Xiaoyu said as she readied her fighting stance.

"Wow... she's also from the Tekken game too. This is going to be great battle for us to deal with." Yoko said excitedly as Koji defends her daughter with two punches followed by an elbow.

"Yoko you should be careful on your opponent. You need to act quickly."

Both Jin and Sol in their alternate forms manage to combine both Devil's Beam and a Fire Blast combination which they manage to expose the Gear's heart. Then, Ryu unleashes his Denjin Hadoken as Devil Kazuya assists them by using his Devil's Beam to make Ryu's projectile to be amplified which he remarked at him.

"You're so lucky that you finally supress the Satsui no Hado on you, Ryu. It was annoying for me to see you controlling it. We maybe rivals back to get Pandora, I'll consider this as a truce to help you and Jin beat that monster on purpose."

Ryu finally shoots the enhanced Denjin Hadoken as Sol in his Dragon Install form unleashes a twenty fold from his Fireseal creating a massive fire blast then Devil Jin unleashes his Devil's Beam in full power. With their combined abilities, it finally destroys Justice's body in time as the Gear on its heart has finally shattered as it blows in a massive explosion. Both Kazuya and Jin finally revert back to their normal state as Sol in his Dragon Install form became amused to see their teamwork.

"Now that what I called a massive fireworks."

"So this is your form, Frederick? I never thought you were strong." Jin nodded in surprise as Sol reverted back to his normal state as well.

"I hate to admit... I used that if it comes to drastic measures such as this. Just like I risked my life to force both to merge themselves into one person."

Jin then faces his father who manages to help them on purpose as Kazuya angrily scolds him for leaving without saying anything.

"This is the second time you left without even telling me. Just like you walked out on me in the 20th anniversary party that your grandfather made. "

"..."

As all of the Gears are now shut off thanks to their combined powers they are soon relief to see this.

"Thank goodness, it's over." Akira said in relief as Yoko replies.

"Yeah... At least my yo-yo is not wrecked during the battle."

Koji notices Kazuya in appearance which is a surprise to him as he thought.

So Jin was right, Kazuya was indeed here... but he's different.

Therefore, Saint Maximus came to see Sol and to see him how he takes down the same Gear that she wanted to merge with Elphelt.

"You were so lucky, Sol. These humans are just like how you handle against me. Fair enough, you even manage to beat Ramlethal with these people who are just mere weaklings."

"What did she say?" Ryu becomes angered from her remarks as Saint Maximus faces them while mocking.

"Our battle here is only just begun. Don't ever try to put these meagers down with you to face me. You will regret it. I'm sure those who oppose against me shall die from the face of the earth, Hahahaha...!"

That mock causes Jin to get snapped to beat her down only to be blocked off by his father, Kazuya as Saint Maximus leaves the premises as her daughters, Elphelt and Ramlethal saw their mother's actions. Jin becomes mad when Kazuya prevents him from fighting against her.

"Father, why did you stopped me if she mocks us for being weak?" Jin said angrily to his father as Kazuya raises his brow in reply while scolding him.

"You're so stupid, Jin. That woman is from their game. You don't have to interfere in their fight. You will do that if we fight in our main game."

"Your father was right, Jin. If you do that, you might even gone turbo just like what Akira did." Ryu said giving him advice as Jin becomes calm but disappointed after Ryu mentions for getting turbo as he tells them.

"You two were right. I guess I'm a little bit crazy there."

"There's no need to help us beat that skull bitch, Jin." Sol said telling him knowing of their plot. "We can handle this because this is our game. You have to deal your anger on your game."

With that, their efforts of defeating the revived Justice is finally over and soon they decided to return back to their respective games.
