Chapter 10: Jin and Ryu; The First Meeting
The next morning, Xiaoyu wakes up and she looked at Jin who is sleeping behind her. She smiles to see him as she gets up and went to the bathroom. Jin wakes up and he sees Xiaoyu washing her face. He then leaves the room quietly.
He gets down stairs and to see Hunyo prepares them for breakfast.
"Morning, Jin..." Hunyo greeted and he asked. "Did you sleep well?"
"Yes, Mr. Panganiban..." Jin answered as he stretches both of his arms. "I feel kinda a stiffy after I woke up this morning."
"By the way, breakfast is ready." Hunyo said as Jin smells the aroma of the food.
"Mmm, sounds like the smell of this food look great." He smiled as he sits on a dining chair and taste the food and it was delicious.
"Did you like it?"
"Mmm... this is good. I've never seen people can make these noodles."
Xiaoyu arrives in the dining hall to see Jin and Hunyo and she saw him eating a full of noodles on his mouth.
"Jin, you better slow down. You're gonna choke on that food." Xiaoyu said worried as he slurps the noodles to his mouth as he swallowed it.
"Xiao, you better try this food. It's delicious I wonder who cooks this?"
Xiaoyu tries the food and it taste delicious as she comments.
"Wow... this is good."
"Uh... you two better slow down. Both of you might end up pigging out some food and become fat." Hunyo said telling to both as Jin replies.
"No, we're not... I just want to know who can cook this."
"Guess that you loved my food, young man."
Brian arrives in the dining hall and Xiaoyu was surprised to see another strange man like Hunyo.
"Huh? Who is this man, Mr. Panganiban? He looks completely old." Xiaoyu wondered.
"Hehe... This is Brian Navarro just call him Mr. Navarro, a friend of mine who reluctantly kick me to the face last night." Hunyo said as he introduces to Brian on both Jin and Xiaoyu.
"Ouch... that was a big pain to you."
"Pleasure to meet you two; I've ever seen foreigners love my food." Brian said as he bows on both of them.
"Wow... you're also a Chinese like me?" Xiaoyu surprised.
"I'm only just a half-Chinese." Brian giggled as he seriously faces Hunyo. "Now I have to tell you everything about what happened in our world, Hunyo."
When Brian tells Hunyo about what happened to him. He was shocked about the news and became saddened about his wife.
"I don't believe it, I'm presumed dead...! Damn, that news is just a hoax... and my wife is crying over my disappearance." Hunyo said hysterically.
"I told you, Hunyo... You can't go to a different place. Now, that we're stuck in their world?" Brian said coldly.
"It's fine... I need a favor." Hunyo said as he requested. "Can you tell me where Ryu lives?"
"Hmm, don't worry... I can research from here." Brian said as he fixes his glasses.
Jin, Xiaoyu and Hunyo watched Brian is researching the bio data of the people who competed in the world warrior tournament.
"So these are the fighters in the world warrior tournament." Jin said surprisingly.
"Yes... they were different than the ones who hold the King of the Iron Fist Tournaments. But they are more focused on special and physical attacks." Brian said telling him.
"It looks like we can meet them in our travels." Xiaoyu wondered.
"Hmm, sounds like we can meet Ryu if it wasn't for Mr. Navarro." Jin said as Brian tells him.
"Ryu simply lives in his master's temple, Suzaku. Before that, we need to find someone who knows where he lives."
"What person, Brian?" Hunyo said snubbing.
"I guess I found someone can help us." Brian said as he points on the picture of Ken Masters.
"The blond man...?"
"Ken Masters is Ryu's best friend and his rival. He is also the head of Masters Corporation. He's probably somewhere in Tokyo. We have to find him first before we seek his friend." Brian said seriously as everyone prepares to find Ken.
In Tokyo, Ken receives a call from his wife Eliza telling her that he will be back after a few more days. He remembers what Ryu told him before he went to Tokyo.
Flashback:
"Chun-Li told me about the news that there was a mysterious box called Pandora. I can feel if this box has a connection with the Satsui no Hado." Ryu said sadly as Ken decides to join him on his quest.
"I'll help you, Ryu. I would be worried if anything happens to you in the Antarctic."
"Thanks, Ken."
"No problem, travelling with you will be a piece of cake."
Flashback over:
Ryu has a lot of troubles on his mind lately. He got caught by Kazuya and now for the Pandora's Box?
Ken looked at the blue SUV as it stops. Someone gets out of the car and revealed to be Jin.
"What...? You're...?"
"Sorry that I interrupted you, I came here to look for your friend." Jin said as Ken scratches his head.
"This is going nowhere." Ken said prepares to fight Jin as someone opens the car window Brian tells him.
"Take it easy, big boy. That person you noticed is not a bad guy."
"You mean him...?"
"I heard your friend was attacked by my father." Jin said calmly as he forgives Ken. "Forgive me, my father and my grandfather are my enemies."
"Hmmm, It's all right." Ken said as he shrugs. "Guess you want to meet Ryu. He's in our master's temple. I can take you there."
"I'm Jin Kazama, head of the Mishima Zaibatsu and you must be Ken Masters." Jin said finally introduces to Ken.
"So you know my name. I thought you were the same man who attacked Ryu." Ken said as nods. "You're the head of the Zaibatsu, impressive."
"You want to come with us." Jin requested.
"Sure... I know my way around." Ken said accepting Jin's request to join with them.
On their way to Gouken's temple, Ken was surprised to see Jin has friends with them.
"Say, Jin... I've never seen you had a lot of friends." Ken said surprisingly.
"Yes... you want to meet them too." Jin said smiling as he introduces to them. "On the right was Xiaoyu she's my friend since high school, on the left was Mr. Navarro and the person who drives this car was Mr. Panganiban."
"Wow... you definitely have lots of friends."
"At least, he knows where Ryu lives." Hunyo said nicely.
"Yeah..."
At Gouken's temple, Ken visits Ryu as he was meditating in the garden.
"Ryu, there's someone I want you to meet." Ken said and Ryu stands up behind him and asked.
"Who is it, Ken?"
Ryu noticed someone here and he faces Jin. He mistakes Jin as Kazuya.
"You!"
"So, you must be Ryu. I heard you were attacked by my father."
"Kazuya... you knew him?"
"I am Jin Kazama, and I wanted to meet you personally. I can't believe my father would do that to you and I'm not seeking for your power."
"Interesting, I've never seen a noble fighter would say that." Ryu said having his arm crossed and he challenges Jin in a fight. "I'm going to challenge you to a fight."
"What?"
"I want to test you if you were an enemy or not. I want to know what kind of strength you have to beat me." Ryu said seriously as Jin reluctantly accepts his challenge.
"All right, I accept your challenge. I will prove to you that I'm not an enemy."
"Jin, you can't fight him." Xiaoyu said worried.
"I have no choice, Xiao. I need to fight him." Jin said telling her as Hunyo became interested on seeing both heroes are going to fight.
Hmmm, this is going to be a fierce battle, a battle between both protagonists in one fight.
