Chapter 09
All around Tekken City, Anvil, and maybe even around the world were tuned into the King of Iron Fist Tournament, as the fight between Asuka and Kunimitsu was about to began.
Tekken City – Tekken Arena
The crowd was alive, holding their sign in the air, waiting for the match to start. Inside the Fighter's Pit however, it was a serious atmosphere.
Inside the executive suite, Kazuya wore an evil grin as the fight began.
"Round Two, FIGHT!"
Kunimitsu leapt forward to attack. Her dagger met Asuka's katana as the two blade wielders clashed. They were evenly matched as they blocked and parried each other's strikes. Asuka used an overhead strike, making Kunimitsu block, creating a deadlock. Asuka then kicked her blade down, adding more force until Kunimitsu rolled out of the way.
More strikes and parries came until Kunimitsu dodged one of Asuka's strikes and rolled off her back. Asuka turned around quickly and attacked.
"SWORD RAIN!"
Asuka executed a series of lightning fast sword thrusts, making Kunimitsu fall back a little. Asuka closed the distance and kicked her in the stomach.
"FANG BLADE HAVOK!"
Asuka targeted the dagger and swiped at it. Kunimitsu staggered as Asuka jump and slashed, disarming the kunoichi. Kunimitsu tried to escape but Asuka came down with a flying kick, sending Kunimitsu to the ground.
As Asuka landed, Kunimitsu kipped up and disappeared in a shower of leaves. Asuka looked around wildly until Kunimitsu reappeared and dropkicked her from behind, making her drop her katana. Kunimitsu caught as Asuka recovered.
In the executive suite, Kazuya sneered as Kunimitsu moved in to attack Asuka.
Kunimitsu thrust the katana at Asuka, but Asuka was ready. She grabbed the hands holding her katana and kneed the handle of it, disarming Kunimitsu again. She grabbed her katana and tossed it to the guard that was holding the weapons. Kunimitsu dived for her dagger, but Asuka stepped on it and kicked it out of the ring.
The smug look on Kazuya's face was suddenly gone as Heihachi watched, surrounded by Jacks.
Pissed, Kunimitsu grabbed a nearby stick and tried to attack. Asuka smirked, spun in the air and kicked the stick in two.
Kunimitsu took the pieces away as Asuka attacked with her endless dance routine. Kunimitsu countered with her own style of the endless dance. Some of her hit got to Asuka, staggering her. Kunimitsu grabbed her, jumped in the air and body slammed her to the ground. She then grabbed Asuka's leg, lifted her and slammed her to the ground again.
The screens above and around showed a replay of Kunimitsu's devastating combo on Asuka.
Asuka painfully got up, shook herself off, and tried to attack, but Kunimitsu roundhouse kicked her away.
Elsewhere, Lee sneaked his way to the door of the executive suite to see Heihachi flanked by Jacks and Kazuya looking like Christmas came early for him as he looked at a nearby screen.
"The ratings," he said as the bars on the charts increases from MEDIUM to HIGH, "Through the roof!"
He turned to his father, "You see, the only thing audiences crave more than blood, is death."
Heihachi shook his head as Kazuya continued, "You see Father, I have learned."
Lee facepalmed, "That idiot…" he whispered to himself, as he saw Kazuya look out the window and nod to Kunimitsu.
Kunimitsu rolled her eyes under her mask as Asuka weakly got back to her feet.
Kunimitsu started to attack Asuka with critical hits, but to her shock, Asuka was staying on her feet, trying parry the shots, but were too strong.
"Kunimitsu is out for blood," the commentator said on TV, "She's devastating Asuka!"
Hwoarang grabbed his hair in frustration as Julia yelled at the executive's suite, "Stop the match!", but Kazuya paid no heed as the smile was back on his face.
"Asuka…" Lili was starting to get really worried, as Kunimitsu grabbed Asuka and tossed her away. Asuka managed to safely roll to the ground to avoid injury but crashed into the wall.
Alisa was starting think that something was wrong. This match was going beyond a fight between woman, and she knew Kunimitsu would never resort to moves like those.
"What's going on?" Xiaoyu was just as confused as Miharu and Sapphire, "It's like Kunimitsu's trying to kill her…"
Meanwhile, outside the executive suite, Lee grabbed his cell and speed-dialed Michelle's number.
"Lee!" Michelle shouted through the cell.
"Not so loud!" he whispered, "I'm in a bit of a bind here. What is it?"
"Something's wrong. I just looked out the window, and saw several Jackhammers entering the hospital there!"
"What?"
"What's more, I just found out that this woman is our friend, Jun Kazama."
Lee swore as he heard Heihachi growl, "There's no honor in this Kazuya. Stop this at once!"
Kazuya snorted and said, "You're about to witness the death of Asuka Kazama."
Lee's blood went cold as a shocked Heihachi repeated, "Kazama?"
"Apparently another byproduct of my youthful indiscretions…"
"You have a daughter. Why?"
"…I had a daughter, and I had a son."
"Jin…Kazama…"
Kazuya gave an evil laugh as he turned back to the match, "You catch on quick, Father."
Outside, Lee was stunned, "My god, Kazuya you son of a…"
He turned to see his subordinates, "Get that girl out of there."
Nodding, the Tekken Force scattered as Lee returned to his cell as he ran, "Michelle!"
"Yes?"
"I want you to evacuate with Jun. And take whatever nurses and doctor that operated and observed her with you. No doubt he wants no witnesses. Go!"
"Got it!"
Back in the ring, Kunimitsu retrieved her dagger and was coming over to Asuka. But unknown to her, Asuka tapped into her hidden powers and was trying summon her katana.
As Kunimitsu raised her dagger to strike, Heihachi seen enough. With a few quick strikes the Jacks guarding him were down. Kazuya turned sharply to see Heihachi run to the back of the room and activate the alarms.
"SECURITY ALERT!"
Kunimitsu jumped at that and looked around wildly as the Jackhammers and Tekken Force rushed into the arena, but failed to notice Asuka's katana zooming towards her legs. It tripped her up as Asuka kipped up and caught it.
"No!" Kazuya yelled as Asuka disarmed Kunimitsu for the last time and kicked her.
Asuka reared back for the final strike, "MIST PALM THRUST!"
Her palm hit Kunimitsu in the face, shattering her mask as she flew back and landed facefirst into the ground.
"KO!"
Asuka rushed forward and quickly took off her jacket and covered Kunimitsu's face.
"And that's the lesson her today." Asuka said, smiling.
"Asuka is the winner! Advancing to the next round!"
Dazed, and shaking herself off, Kunimitsu looked at Asuka under the jacket, "Well done. It was my mistake to get distracted like that…"
Asuka shrugged and held her shoulder, which was now dislocated.
FLASHBACK START
Young Asuka and Young Jin, both blindfolded, were practicing weapons combat with their mom.
"Destroy the mask of death, and you'll see that here's nothing behind it to fear."
FLASHBACK END
Asuka collapsed next to Kunimitsu, who said, "You worth more than a hundred Global Dollars, you know that right?"
They both laughed.
"SECURITY ALERT!"
"Damn you old man!" Kazuya snarled as he went to strike Heihachi, who was bound by more Jacks, but that didn't stop him from blocking his son's strike.
"You will regret this!" he warned him.
Scowling, he yelled to the Jacks, "Take him away!"
"Let's go!" they said as they dragged Heihachi away.
In the ring, the trainer's and Tekken Force were tending to Asuka and Kunimitsu.
Kunimitsu tossed Asuka's jacket back to her and replaced it with a towel as the Tekken Force led her away.
Team Asuka all leapt the barricade and enter the ring, followed closely by Lili.
"We take her." Sapphire said as Lili and Miharu picked up Asuka and supported her out of the ring.
Kazuya frowned as he saw Asuka's entourage escorted her out of the ring.
"IRON FIST FIGHTERS ARE TO BE DISTAINED!"
The crowd booed as the Jacks cuffed the confused fighters and led them out of the Fighter's Pit.
"We gotta get Asuka out of Tekken City!" Lili said as they entered the backstage area.
"Agreed." Julia nodded as they went down the hallway with the other stagehands.
Hwoarang looked around, "No way," he said, "They're arresting Mishima?"
That alarmed Asuka, "Let's get out of here." she said.
They got as far as few steps until the Jacks surrounded them.
Meanwhile, Lee blasted into the room with a gun in hand and pointed it at Kazuya, "Enough is enough. What are you trying to achieve with this?" But all he got was a unnatural laugh. At that, Lee threw his gun away and leapt forward to attack Kazuya.
What happened a few moments later was forever engraved in Lee's mind, as he was lasered through the glass and down to the arena floor, with fresh screams erupting.
TEKKEN
Unknown Tekken Area – Holding Cells
Kazuya looked on from the balcony as his personal security guards dragged Team Asuka into the holding cell where the other fighters are.
"You can't arrest us," Violet snarled, "We're Iron Fist Fighters!"
The guards injured him as they threw Asuka and her friends unceremoniously into the cage with Feng Wei, Tiger, Violet, the Williams sister, Lily, Leo, Kunimitsu, and Craig Marduk.
Asuka growled when she landed on her bad arm. Lili rushed to her side, picked her up and set her on the nearby bench.
"Her shoulder's dislocated." she said, "Must have put too much force in that last strike."
"Here…"
They turned to Leo, who came over and grabbed Asuka's arm.
"What are you doing?" asked Xiaoyu.
"On…" Leo began before yanking on Asuka's arm, making her shriek, but relocating her arm.
"Three." Leo smirked, "Now we're even."
"Thanks." groaned Asuka, laying back down.
"What was that for?" Miharu yelled at her.
"My nearly broken neck." Leo said.
Everyone rolled their eyes as Kazuya came in the cage flanked by more of his guards.
"What in the hell are you trying to accomplish?" Hwoarang snapped at him.
Kazuya paced around the cell, "My father always stressed the importance of Iron Fist. He managed to get Lee with it, but frankly, I never saw the value. It was a brutal, mindless game."
Sapphire raised her eyebrows as Julia looked confused.
"But I finally understand," he continued, "You see, in the arena, reception is power. After the crowd and audience saw the finishes of Asuka's fights, ratings spiked beyond their highest level ever. Which is why I decided, as the new CEO of Tekken Corp, that the remainder of the tournament's fight…will be to the death."
Shock registered on everyone's face as Kazuya sneered in delight, taking out his gun.
"I'm sure you all rather die fighting in the arena. The King of Iron Fist Tournament continues tomorrow."
Everyone glared at him as he pointed the gun at an unmasked Kunimitsu, who back away, and then at Asuka, who recognized it.
"I suggest you get some rest." he said before pocketing the gun and leaving with his guards.
The silence was deafening in the cell before it was broken.
"What now?" asked Alisa, worried.
"Guess kill or be killed." Feng Wei sighed, leaning on the wall.
Lili glared at him, "Like that'll happen."
"But we do have a choice."
Everyone turned to Asuka, who continued, "If there are no Iron Fist Fighters, then there's no tournament, and no one's gonna die."
Jut then, the guards entered the cell again.
"Time up against the walls!"
Slowly, they lined up against the walls. "Hands behind your backs!" But they didn't comply.
"We said hands behind your backs!"
"I don't think so." Tiger said as they came behind them.
In sync, just as the guard were about the handcuff them, Team Asuka and the Iron Fist Fighters attacked, disarming the guards and putting them down.
Alisa went out first and used her rocket arms to take out the guards nearby. Hwoarang grabbed a submachine gun covered her, firing on the other guards.
"Let's move!" Sapphire shouted, "Meet up in the Anvil!"
All the fighters got out of the cage and scattered, going separate ways except Team Asuka and Lili, who all ran like hell, shooting and beating up the guards that got in their way.
In the security room, Kazuya walked in to see the fighter escaping.
"Damn!" said the Head of Security as Kazuya seethed, "Lock us down."
Half of the fighters made it out, but the Jackhammers and the Tekken Force captured the others. But the ones who were captured by the Tekken Forces were blindfolded, handcuffed, and taken to a different direction.
Team Asuka were almost to one of the nearby exit until Julia said, "Mishima."
They stopped and turned to see Heihachi Mishima in another cell, mediating.
Asuka, who was supported by Hwoarang and Lili, broke free and kicked the cage, screaming, "Heihachi Mishima!"
"Take it easy Asuka!" Hwoarang said, grabbing her arm as Heihachi's eyes opened and he stood up
"Asuka Kazama." He said, bowing.
"You owe some answers Mishima." Asuka snarled, but Heihachi shook his head.
"I owe you nothing young woman."
"News flash old man," Miharu snapped at him, "You do."
"How does it feel to be behind bars?" Xiaoyu said, smirking.
A rocket exploded near them.
"We gotta move!" Lili screamed, shooting a guard.
"We need those access codes now." Hwoarang said as Alisa fired more rockets at their pursuers.
"Let me out of there." Heihachi said, "I can help."
Sapphire, Alisa, and Lili took out a few more guard before Hwoarang gave up.
"…All right old man." Sapphire growled, "No tricks."
"Keys!"
Lili nicked one off a dead guard and tossed them to Hwoarang, who opened the cell door.
"Come on." He said as Heihachi stepped out.
Nearby, Feng Wei was shot in the shoulder and he fell.
"Hope I bought enough time…" he thought before he was beaten down.
Kazuya was pacing the security room until the Head of Security delivered the bad news, "Heihachi Mishima is with them." He said as he watched Team Asuka and Heihachi run to the exit, "They heading to the emergency access gate."
Kazuya broke a screen and left the room. An aide went up to him, "What now sir?"
Seething, he slowly ordered, "Sortie the Jackhammers, and prepare… the 'R Experiments'…"
TEKKEN
Anvil: Green Zone – Tau Sector
The area was bustling with so much activity and people, no one looked twice at the alleyways where the refugees were hiding.
"Is everyone okay?" asked Julia.
"We're alive." Asuka said, nodding.
"No doubt Kazuya will be sending the Jackhammers." Heihachi said.
"I know a few safehouses," Hwoarang muttered, "The first one's not far."
"Sound crazy," Xiaoyu said, "Sound we go."
After a nod from everyone, they followed Hwoarang.
TEKKEN
Anvil – Nearby Tekken Gate
Several Jackhammer units were pouring out of the gate, followed closely by Kazuya. There were several unknown camouflaged behind him as the troop went into standby.
"Tear the Anvil apart," he ordered, "Use the R Experiments to sniff them out. Unknown to the Head of the Tekken Force, I modified them to react to the nanos in the fighter's bodies. I want the fighters found, and recaptured. GO!"
"Hai!"
The troops moved out, followed by several booms.
TEKKEN
Anvil – Safehouse Number One
Hwoarang, Sapphire, Julia, Xiaoyu, Miharu, and Alisa were pacing near the entrance, weapons in hand.
Inside the tent, Lili lit a couple lanterns as Asuka was laid down on one of the cots. She tried to get up when Lili came over with a first-aid kit.
"Rest." Lili said, gently pushing her back down and taking off Asuka's battle gloves.
Her hands weren't healed from last night, so Lili bandaged them up.
"Thanks." said Asuka, smiling.
"Don't mention it." Lili whispered, leaning forward to kiss Asuka.
She pulled back just as the others came in.
"So, how's our patient?" asked Xiaoyu.
"She'll be fine." Lili answered, "Should be able to fight tomorrow."
A rustle from the tent made them turn to see Heihachi.
"A moment." he said.
The others were about to leave when Asuka sat up.
"No," she told him, "They're staying while we talk, or we don't talk at all."
"Asuka…" said Alisa.
After a moment, Heihachi gave in and sat down.
"I knew your mother Jun Kazama." he started, "A formidable fighter. One of Tekken's best."
"I'm sure she was." Asuka grimaced, "But she tried to keep me away from you guys. I think I have a pretty good idea why now."
"Do not judge all of Tekken by Kazuya's mistakes."
"Mistakes?" repeated Asuka, "Last we checked, Tekken destroys lives."
"I created Tekken, not as a corporation but as a means to stem the chaos. We are remaking the world, raising it from the ashes."
"Why don't you tell that to people dying everyday in the Anvil!" Miharu snarled.
"We bought humanity back from the brink of death and we restored order!" Heihachi snapped, "Tekken is peace!"
"Tekken is fear!" Xiaoyu retaliated, "Because of what you did, Alisa and Kazama-san was almost killed."
"I had nothing to do with what happened in the Anvil those days ago." Heihachi said, "I never ordered the bomb of that Anvil sector."
"What?" Xiaoyu and Miharu glared at him.
"It's true," Alisa said, "During the match between Asuka and Kunimitsu, I access the database of Tekken Corp. Heihachi never order that bomb raid. Sorry."
"Besides," said Heihachi, "I saved our mother's live."
"Huh?" Asuka was confused, "When?"
"Many years ago after she reigned as champion for the third time, I found her bruised, beaten, and violated like those two years ago during that time." He explained, "I'm the one who had her taken from Tekken City."
"No way…" Julia was speechless.
"So that's what happened?" asked a shocked Sapphire.
Hwoarang shook his head in disbelief, "Who's responsible?"
"You should know." said Heihachi, "There was a sadistic part of him that always cause Lee trouble and that even I could never control."
"Who?" shouted Asuka.
Heihachi looked at her straight in the eyes, "Kazuya Mishima. My son… Jin's father… and… your father…"
