Chapter Eleven: Tracking

March 5th 2008

Location: Gargoyle Tower- Jin's Quarters

Time: 0013hrs

They were both fast asleep on the large wooden bed, wrapped in each other's arms and still fully clothed. Just a couple of hours ago they decided to come there after spending time to plan the next course of action and that was when Jin told her about the android that Lars met at the research facility.

"So you had intended this to happen, didn't you?" Nina asked him as she sat across from him. The two of them were in Jin's office discussing Azazel's Temple and Jin was telling her the history of the mystical creature.

Jin shook his head.

"No, I did not plan for Lars to go there and take it," he replied and smiled. "It is, however, a coincidence that has worked to my advantage as now I can track him down."

Nina nodded and smirked.

"Well then, sounds like everything is going according to plan after all."

That conversation went on for an hour or two, with Nina also including her encounter with Edgar Grant earlier. Eventually, Eddy came in to inform Nina that she didn't have to worry about Steve as the Brazilian walked away from the fight due to the sudden appearance of Christie. At least now she knew that her opponent was too pre-occupied trying to find Eddy rather than a tournament, she was almost glad that Christie didn't even show up as it was obvious that her mind wasn't into fighting.

So two hours ago their conversation wore thin and Jin thought that to save Nina the trouble of walking down the corridor in the middle of the night that she would sleep in his room for the night. Both of them weren't bothered to even crawl underneath the sheets and just collapsed on the bed and sleep came to the both them quickly. Both were deeply dreaming…

Jin's Dream…

"Give into me…"

Jin was standing in a daze, swaying side to side as he struggled to keep control over his mind. Where was that voice coming from? It seemed to be everywhere and he couldn't block it out…the Devil Gene was beginning to stir.

"Give into the anger…"

It was the voice of Kazuya, provoking him and making him hate. Jin didn't know much longer he was going to last. The voice continued to fill inside his head, and it grew faster and faster until it was chanting the words…

"Give into me…Give into the anger…"

Jin latched onto his temples and collapsed onto his knees. Alone in that realm in his and black pants with the red flame on the leg, with the voice of his father chanting words of hatred. He couldn't take anymore of this.

'What is this?' he thought desperately. 'Why won't this stop?'

His head felt like it was about to explode. He closed his eyes tightly and gritted his teeth. When would this end? How much more could he take? The chanting stopped after a while before another voice came into the picture.

"Heir of the cursed blood," Azazel spoke in Jin's head. "Soon I will be resurrected as I feel my own blood stir. I can sense your presence and soon I will take back what's mine…"

A white flash occurred and Jin was no longer in that realm, instead he could recognise where he was. Golden statues were placed around the outer walls as flame torches illuminated the room. Looking up the wall, Jin noticed the broken chains on the wall and then it all came back to him...Turning around, he saw the unconscious body of Kazuya on the ground and then looked further along at the figure of Heihachi Mishima, and Jin knew that he was looking at himself about to kill his grandfather. Black wings spouted from his back and as this happened, Jin began to feel the wings growing out himself, the markings were starting to appear on his body.

'What is this?'

"Give into it," his Devil form spoke back at him. "You know there's no escape!"

Jin gripped the sides of his head and screamed.

"No!"

Brown eyes snapped wide open, forehead covered in cold sweat as his breathing hitched in shock from the nightmare. Eyes widened, Jin scanned around, trying to get to grips with reality after feeling the influence of the devil within growing stronger and stronger. It wasn't the first time that this had happened, ever since Azazel started talking to him in his dreams the nightmares became more frequent as if it was antagonising his blood.

'Dammit, I don't think I'll be able to sleep now,' he thought and looked down at Nina, who was wrapped up in his arms and still sleeping soundly. This made Jin smile. 'I guess she's a heavy sleeper.'

Removing his arms and gently rolled the blonde off him, Jin sat up on the bed and looked over at the clock. It was past midnight, so he doubted that anybody except for maybe Eddy would be awake at that hour. Without another thought, he got up and headed towards the exit and entered the corridor. Looking up ahead, Jin made his way towards his office, perhaps he could check that tracking device he had implanted in that android.

But seems like somebody had beaten him to it as Eddy walked out of his office and Jin stopped as Eddy hurried towards him.

"Jin, I was just on my way to get you," Eddy said. "We have received their location down at the shipping docks at the wharf."

Jin crossed his arms. He wasn't planning a confrontation with Lars yet, but this could be opportunity to catch a glimpse of him.

"I'm going down there," the raven-haired man replied. "In the meanwhile, I want you to head to Millennium Tower and retrieve a camera that I had set up to keep an eye on the enemy."

Eddy nodded.

"Yes, boss."

The darked skinned man watched as Jin headed back down the corridor.


Location: Outside Millennium Tower

Time: 0157hrs

A convoy of vehicles stopped outside the building as the entourage walked down the stairs. Kazuya was on his cell phone, conversing with one of his commanders who had informed him of an unsuccessful campaign in taking over a military base under the control of the Mishima Zaibatsu. Furious over the failure, Kazuya made the quick decision of going over to the survivors himself and deal with the situation with Anna and Edgar, leaving Bruce to look after things.

Finishing up the call, Kazuya pocketed the phone.

"Damn fools," he muttered. "Weak and pathetic."

"Perhaps they could clean up their act once they see you," Anna said.

Kazuya scoffed.

"I trust that you could that for me, Anna," he replied and looked at Edgar from the corner of his eye. "And you too, maybe you can sort this mess out."

Edgar smirked a little.

"Leave it to me, failure is not an option."

The entourage reached the vehicles and the soldiers climbed into the vans while the trio went straight for the black car in the middle. Anna got in first and Kazuya was about to get in, but stopped midway.

"Glad to hear it," he said to the other man. "Just don't let me down."

He got in along with Edgar and as soon as the door closed, the convoy sped off. Meanwhile in the bushes nearby, Eddy watched on. He had been in there the entire time after removing the camera, but after he done that he had to hide as Kazuya and his group came out. At least he was there to witness what he just saw. Now G-Corporation was vulnerable without their leader there.

Grabbing his phone, Eddy dialled Nina's number.


Location: Gargoyle Tower- Jin's Quarters

The ringing of the phone woke her up from the deep sleep that she was in. Groaning, Nina opened her eyes and felt her hand on the softness of the mattress.

"Huh? Where is he?" Nina asked herself as the phone continued to ring. It soon became clear to the assassin that Jin had left while she was asleep. Reaching out to her phone that was lying on the bedside table, she noticed that the call was coming from Eddy. "Hello, what is it?"

"Nina, you might want to find Jin," Eddy answered. "Kazuya just left headquarters and appears to be heading out for a day or two by the sounds of it. This could be a great opportunity."

Nina sat up on the edge of the bed and sighed.

"Well I would if I could, but I have no idea where he went."

"Go down to the shipping docks, I think he wanted to see if Lars was down there.

"Shipping docks? Why would Lars be down there?"

"Don't ask me, I just saw the tracking device on the android blinking," Eddy explained. "I'm almost on my way back, so I'll look at the footage that the android is recording and see what his next actions are."

"Ok, I'll go find Jin and bring him back," Nina said and terminated the call.

Picking up her boots and jacket, Nina headed out of the room and met a guard who was wandering around.

"Inform the men down at the parking garage to have my bike ready as I'm heading down there now," she ordered.

The guard saluted.

"Yes ma'am."

He grabbed a radio and passed on Nina's orders as she made her way down to the elevators.


Location: Shipping Docks

Time: 0216hrs

He leaned up against his motorbike and closed his eyes as he heard the vehicle at the end of the dock going away from him. Jin was down there and saw Lars, fighting with a young blonde girl before the arrival of his rebel army. This was what Jin was hoping for to happen, now he felt like all the cards were in his hands as he could now rely on the one thing that kept him up-to-date with the entire situation. Now, he could keep a closer eye on his former commander.

From by just being down there, Jin was able to learn new information as he overheard the conversations that took place. Lars lost his memory from the explosion that occurred at the research facility and was knocked into the cold-sleep chamber of Alisa, the android that Jin had created for his own use. But for now, she had an unexpected new objective as being Jin's new set of eyes.

Slowly, he opened his eyes at the sound of an approaching motorcycle, stopping behind him. Jin didn't have to turn his head to know who it was as he could already sense her presence.

"There you are," Nina's voice came from behind. Switching off the engine, the blonde got off the bike and walked up beside him. "You sure you want to let them go?"

Placing her hands on her hips, Nina looked ahead at the water. They stood in silence for a moment, the assassin didn't know what Jin's motives were but she could trust that he had full control of the situation and that Lars wasn't going to become a threat.

"No need to worry," Jin replied. "I've taken care of it."

Nina sighed softly and crossed her arms.

"All right then," she said and unfolded her arms as she remembered exactly why she was down there. "You need to come back. Kazuya will be back at headquarters in a few days..." She turned around and looked at him over her shoulder before muttering. "…With that minx."

Nina walked over and climbed onto her bike while Jin stood there for a moment. So his father was going to be out of town for a while, maybe this was going to be a good opportunity to attack and steal some information as Jin recently heard of G-Corporation's latest development in their own investigation on Azazel. Perhaps this will further enhance his conquest.

Climbing onto the motorbike, Jin switched on the engine before pilling out a pair of black sunglasses and putting them on. The two of them sat there for a moment, taking in the view and the only sound present was coming from their bikes.

"Everything is in motion," Jin said. "Now we wait."

"For them you mean," Nina added and Jin leaned forward to grip the handlebars as Nina did likewise. "This should be fun."

Taking off at a great speed, the duo rode down the dock together and out of sight.


[Where am I?]

The machine started up, working as it began to lift the cylinder that it was attached to. Soon enough, the glass tube emerged from the ice cold water and then stopped as soon as the top half was seen.

[What's going on? Why can't I open my eyes?]

Tipping up to a vertical position, the top half of the tube slid down and revealed the woman that was imprisoned in there for the past twenty years, naked and her wet blonde hair stuck to the cold skin of her cheek.

[Why am I so cold? Who am I…? What's happening to me?]

Blue eyes snapped open and a breath was drawn in as the woman was able to breathe for the first time in a long time. She didn't know where she was and why she was bare, but there was one thing for certain…Nina Williams was awake for the first time in twenty long years…

Present Day

March 5th 2008

Time: 0746hrs

Location: Gargoyle Tower- Jin's Quarters

Nina bolted upright from her dream, sweat beaded down her cold skin which made it even worse as it had reminded her of when she first felt that cool sting when was lowered into that tube. Eventually, her breathing slowed when her eyes caught the gaze of Jin, who seemed to have been watching her this entire time. Cursing under her breath, she broke eye contact and looked away from him.

"Another nightmare?" he asked her, gently.

The assassin nodded and closed her eyes.

"Nothing new, just memories of the cold sleep coming back to haunt me," she replied, fear still evident in her voice. "That was the only time that I felt trapped and I don't want to feel that way again."

Sighing, Jin reached out and caressed the bare skin of her back, feeling the battle scars that she had acquired from her campaigns. Even the most hardened assassins wore their scars on the outside, just as they did on the inside. It seemed to be a hard life and all Jin had to do to figure that out was to look at the back of one and to feel each and every one under the pad of his thumb.

"Obviously you've had some near misses," he told her, continuing to run his hand over her spine. "Care to tell me about them?"

Nina smiled a little and looked at him from the corner of her eye.

"What is there to tell?" she replied rhetorically. "The authorities on occasion would spot me after a job and do what it took to bring me down. Plus the knife wounds would be from Anna during our usual battles."

Smirking, Jin placed small kisses up her spine until he met a scar on her shoulder from where Anna had shot her during the assassination attempt on the freeway. Nina shivered a little and grabbed his hands which were rested on her waist.

"Hmm…I think I could get used to a morning like this…"

Wrapping his arms around her, Jin laid back down and brought Nina down with him. Sighing into the back of her head, he started to think about Azazel, his father…everything, everything that he was going to miss if he succeeds in his deed. Against Azazel, Jin figured that he needed to be in full control of his Devil counterpart to combat any assault from this entity…His father, they're nearing a possible final confrontation that could kill either one of them. Putting those two thoughts aside, he looked at the things he was going to miss…the chance of having a family of his own because he wanted to end the cursed bloodline, the chance to be free...

He looked down at Nina and sighed.

…The chance to love and to be with this woman.

"Nina, can I ask you something?"

"Full of questions this morning, aren't you?"

Jin shook his head.

"Are you with me like this because you feel obliged?" he asked and she turned around and looked at him with a raised eyebrow. "I mean like because of your job, do you have to feel closer to me an…"

She shook her head and closed his mouth with hers. Pulling back she smirked after silencing her boss.

"No, I'm not doing this because you're my boss," she replied. "I'm doing this because I love you."

This made Jin smile, to have a loyal woman like her was a like a gift sent from the heavens. At least his uneasiness was laid to rest.

"I love you too."

No more questions asked, Nina turned back the other way and settled herself back into Jin's strong arms. Unfortunately that wasn't going to last long as her cell phone rang. Sighing, she pulled out of Jin's grasp and grabbed it, it was Eddy. It was bad enough that he had to call her in the early hours of the morning, but only after getting about three hours sleep was pushing it.

"What is it now?"

"You and Jin better get to his office right now," Eddy replied. "The two of you better look at this"

Pinching the bridge of her nose, Nina closed her eyes.

"Alright, give me five minutes."

Terminating the call, Nina sat up and started to search for her clothes. Jin too followed suit as he picked up the scattered items on the ground nearby.

"What was all that about?" he asked.

Nina shrugged her shoulders as she stood up to pull up her pants and did the belt up.

"He wouldn't say exactly, but I'm guessing it's important enough to get us out of bed," she replied and glanced over her shoulder. "Disappointed for not being able to stay in bed all morning?"

Jin scoffed.

"Not that, but an extra couple of hours of sleep would have been nice."

"Then we should have been sleeping, but obviously we engaged in other 'activities.'"

They finished getting dressed and headed out.


Location: Gargoyle Tower- Jin's Office

Time: 0813hrs

The audio recording stopped and Jin sat back in his chair. He had listened to the recording several times already, listening to Lars discussing his next step and now Jin could plan his. Looking at Nina and Eddy, who were standing at the front of the desk he smiled.

"So that old bastard survived," Jin stated. "Thought he would have went up with that temple."

"Well Heihachi is no ordinary man," Nina explained clearly. "He did survive been thrown down a ravine by your father and obviously it must run in the family of your father managed to live after been tossed into a volcano."

"But the Devil saved him," Jin added and looked at the computer screen. "Lars isn't up there yet, I want you to go up to Heihachi's Estate and find out as much as you can. It could be possible that my grandfather could be plotting a scheme to overthrow me."

Nina nodded.

"I'll head off as soon as I can," she replied.

Jin reached forward and grabbed a piece of paper that was on his desk and handed it to Eddy.

"I want you to put this in the hotel to inform the fighters of the second round match-ups," he ordered. "I want the round to happen in two days time."

Eddy nodded and made his leave, leaving the couple alone.

"I think I better go and prepare," Nina mentioned. "It takes a while to get up those mountains."

"Be careful, Heihachi can be unpredictable."

Nina allowed herself a small chuckle.

"Please, he wouldn't be able to see me, so I should be fine."

With that, she left and Jin was left there with a small smile on his face, grinning due to the assassin's confidence.


Location: Mishima Estate

Time: 1037hrs

The sound of every kick and punch could be clearly heard as feet moved across the loose stone tiles, the bare skin of his torso gleaming in the morning sunlight. Stomping his foot onto the ground, Heihachi Mishima felt the aura flow through his body. Performing his kata cleansed his mind, except for his near-death experience. Yes, he still remembered the event well. For a moment Heihachi thought that Kazuya was fighting alongside him, but soon realised he was only fighting just to get himself out. If that coward stayed for a moment longer, than eventually those cyborgs would have been eradicated.

'Curse you Kazuya,' he thought angrily. 'Because of you I've lost everything, again.'

When he emerged from his crash site, after flown several miles from the explosion, Heihachi had learned that the King of Iron Fist Tournament 5 had came and gone. Infuriated by the news that Jin Kazama had taken over the Mishima Zaibatsu, Heihachi returned to his Estate in the mountains and everyday trained to hone his body and spirit so that he could plot the perfect revenge and take back what was his.

Slowly looking up, he felt the presence of another person. A guard stood there, clad in a black suit and watched his boss.

"What is it?" Heihachi asked.

"There is an urgent matter," the guard replied.

Heihachi continued his kata in a slow movement.

"Talk."

The guard bowed.

"The rebel army in question that raided Dr. Bosconovitch's laboratory," he explained.

Heihachi ceased all movement and looked at the man.

"What?"

"But while they were there…" the guard continued. "…the G-Corporation engaged and annihilated them."

"If Kazuya went through all that trouble…" Heihachi said straightaway and continued his kata. "…then that guarantees that something was down there. Well, we'll know soon enough."

He spun around and stomped on the ground, feeling the aura pulse through his body even more before asking.

"What have you found out about the rebels?"

The guard nodded.

"Well sir, the unit consists of 30,000 men," he replied. "Led by the instigator Lars Alexandersson. His personal and service records have been wiped not just at the company, but also from our database here." Heihachi slowly turned his head. "It appears he was assigned to the lab raid, but no body was found."

"Flies that buzz that loudly aren't so easy to swat," Heihachi explained. "He's sure to be alive. If I can win him over to my side…maybe then I can wipe the smirk off that damned whelp Jin's face."

He allowed himself a small smile.

"Yes, I must bring this Lars under my control, no matter what it takes." He motioned at the guard. "Go after them! If he even stops to piss, I want to know about it! Get moving!"

The guard bowed.

"Yes sir!"

He turned around and made back down the path. Heihachi stood in the middle of the square area and started laughing, louder and louder. Perhaps with this new development that he now could finally have the firepower to bring Jin down. But he still had to convince Lars first.

From a nearby tree, Nina balanced herself on a branch. She spied in and witnessed the entire conversation, now all she had to do was to get back to Jin and inform him.

'So you're alive after all,' she thought. 'You're one hard bastard to kill.'

Jumping down from the tree, she made her exit and causing Heihachi to stop laughing and turn around.

"Who's there?" He asked into air as he saw the branch of a nearby tree shake. Heihachi smiled a little after realising who it could have been.

'Jin probably sent one of his lot to check up on me,' he thought and crossed his arms. 'It's probably that damned assassin that he hired.'

Meanwhile at the bottom of the mountain, Nina sat on her motorbike and watched as an SUV drove past her. Picking up her phone, she held to her ear.

"Jin, I just found out that Heihachi wants to team with Lars," she said. "And Lars just drove past me."

"I guess we better work quickly then," Jin replied. "Ok, come back to headquarters and we'll discuss what to do next."

"Yes boss," Nina replied and put her phone down.

Turning on the bike, she turned around and headed down the road quickly.


A/N: Another chapter completed. I'll probably end up adding another S.C cutscene in the next chapter, even though from what I've seen on youtube occurred before this last one. However, this is my fic and I want to make the story my own with a few cutscenes included just to tie up the loose ends. Ok, so until next chapter :)
