Chapter 10 Part I


Besides for the sound of Asuka collapsing on one of the makeshift beds, there was total silence.

"You're lying." She finally spat out. It was impossible to believe that she was the daughter of that man.

"This is some kind of joke?" Hwoarang snarled, "From what I heard, the Kazama's are symbols of hope. There no way that man can be their father."

"I know it's hard to take in," Heihachi said, "But how do you explain her brother's disappearance?"

"Jin's disappearance?" Miharu gasped, "Jin can't be-"

"He's not dead." Xiaoyu reassured, "There's no way Kazuya could kill Jin, or any of the other fighters!"

"Mishima-san," Julia turned to Heihachi, "How did this happen?"

"If you want to know," Heihachi said as he sat down, "Ask Kazuya, for I don't know why."

"I'll be sure to do that."

Asuka sat up and scowled at Heihachi, "If me and Jin are the children of that man, what does that make us?"

Heihachi looked at her for a moment before answering, "The new heirs of Tekken Throne, as of today."

There was a long silence as everyone looked at a now embarrassed Asuka, until Alisa broke it, "We should keep moving."

TEKKEN

Somewhere in the Anvil

"Have you found them yet?" Kazuya snarled through the communicator.

"We're closing in on them sir."

TEKKEN

Somewhere in an empty Anvil street...

"Mishima…"

"Yes Sapphire?"

"What do you think the motivation behind that devil's actions?"

"…Sapphire, what do you know about devils and angels?"

"Huh?" Sapphire was dumbfounded at the question.

"Our clan, the Mishimas, is the carriers of the Devil Gene thanks to my grandfather."

Sapphire frowned, "What do you mean by that?"

"How did that happened?" asked Xiaoyu.

"It was part of a collaboration project done by G-Corp and Tekken Corp to create genetic supersoldiers for future wars." Heihachi explained, "When my grandfather used himself as an experiment, something went wrong. It was found out that he made a deal with the devil."

Lili laughed, "Literally?"

"Yes. I believe it to be the reason of the corporation's success over the years. Because of the changes in his body at that time, when the drug was tested on him, the Devil Gene was created. It transformed him and drove him into madness."

"How you managed to stop him?" asked Hwoarang, who looked as interested as the others.

"In the end, he was defeated. My father, Jinpachi Mishima, found a candidate who made a pact with one who was the opposite of the devil, the angel. Thanks to her, the Angel Gene was created, only this time, it can be controlled. She went on to defeat my grandfather and sealed him in a prison we cannot find. And ever since, the supersoldier drug's been sealed as well."

"So Kazuya has this Devil Gene?" Miharu scoffed, "Explains everything..."

"Who was the person who made a pact with the angel?" asked Asuka.

"Last I remembered, her surname was Kazama-"

An explosion interrupted him, followed by loud growling.

"What was that!" Xiaoyu squeaked.

"Warning." Alisa eyes flashed red, "Unknown bio-forms detected."

Everyone went into their fighting stances.

"Alisa," Lili poked her, "What are they?"

"I don't know!" Alisa readying her rockets, "They're shaped like T. Rex!"

Julia gasped, "It can't be! The R-Experiments?"

"Damn him!" Heihachi growled, "How could he have released them like this?"

"Who cares?" Asuka yelled, "RUN!"

Team Asuka ran as heavy footsteps followed and closed in on them.

Lili looked behind her, "Where are they? I can't see them!"

"That because they're camouflaged!" Julia shouted, "My mom told me that they've used for guerilla combat, and the project's been iced too!"

"What'll we do then?" Hwoarang snapped, "Do we keep running, or do we let them catch us to feast on us?"

"If we run into a building that runs underground, we can lose them!" Miharu suggested.

Xiaoyu shook her head, "But we'll get caught by the Jacks!"

"Either way, the situation does not favor us." Heihachi said.

Asuka groaned loudly, "No choice then!"

She dived into an abandoned warehouse, with the others following suit.

TEKKEN

Somewhere in the Anvil…

"Sir! We have them!"

"…Excellent."

TEKKEN

Anvil – Abandoned Warehouse

"This should lead us to the slums-"

A tank smashed through the other side of the warehouse, dashing Asuka's hopes.

"Oh great," Xiaoyu wailed as the Jacks and the invisible R-Experiments came in where they entered, "Now what do we do?"

The R-Experiments decamouflaged, revealing them to be huge, T-Rex-like creatures, generating screams from the girls.

"Alisa, take care of them!" Asuka ordered her.

"Yes ma'am!" Alisa said as she went into full combat mode and flew towards the five R-Experiments, leaving the others to fight off the Jacks.

The Jacks shot at Alisa, but the others disarmed them. The Jacks fought back with beginner style Mishima Karate, but they were no match for Team Asuka and Heihachi.

The tank fired a rocket at Alisa, who dodged, grabbed it, and threw it back at the tank, which exploded on contact. Alisa then evaded one of the R-Experiment's attempts to chow her down for lunch. She caught the jaw and ripped it down the middle, instantly killing the first one. Next, #2 and #3 came in and sandwiched Alisa with a double headbutt. Alisa wobbled in the air and retaliated by firing two rockets at #2 and #3's throats, their heads coming off. The remaining ones got scared and tried to run, but Alisa summoned her chainsaw and ripped the last two to shreds. She discarded her chainsaw and went to help the others as more troops entered the warehouse with more explosions.

Despite some using weapons they found, Team Asuka and Heihachi were overrun as the Jacks fired stun guns at them They resisted, but it allowed the other Jacks to get in close and stun them with stun batons, the girls crying out as they were finally subdued. Hwoarang did not go down until they shot him twice in the shoulder, making him roar in pain as he went down. Alisa rushed in to help, but they fired an EMP burst, disabling her half-cyborg side and rendering her immobile, making her crash next to her friends.

Team Asuka were led to nearby stairs and were forced to sit at gunpoint.

"Ouch." groaned Miharu.

Hwoarang gritted his teeth in pain, "You guys are freakin' toast!"

His mouth earned him a shot from the butt of a rifle.

Heihachi growled and turn to see Kazuya enter their midst.

"What?" he said, "You thought I would do nothing? Tekken belong to me and me alone."

Heihachi shook his head, "You never understood the spirit of Tekken. This is exactly why I couldn't place Tekken in your hands."

"Tekken is in my hand ya old fart," Kazuya snarled, "Don't you get it? It's over for you! And soon-"

Asuka shifted nervously when Kazuya looked at her with menacing eyes.

"It's not about me or you…"

Kazuya looked back at Heihachi.

"It's all about the Mishima name. The name you have not lived up do. And that is why, in the end, you will still fail."

Kazuya shook in fury as Heihachi continued, "I offer you one last chance. Give this up, and you'll still have a chance to inherit the corporation, the right way. Continue, and you shame the Mishima name."

Kazuya looked at his father like a madman and sneered as his left eye suddenly turned red.

"Take Heihachi Mishima away." he ordered the Jacks, "Destroy everything, including him."

"Let's go." said the Jack in Japanese, but Heihachi did not budge yet.

"You lose." he said before turning to Asuka.

"You're the only hope left your Tekken and the Anvil now. Good luck, Asuka Kazama, my granddaughter."

"Ojii…san" Asuka whispered.

With that, he allowed himself to be led away by his former subordinates.

Kazuya snapped his fingers; the Jacks then picked up the members of Team Asuka by the arms and cuffed them.

"The fun has begun, and it starts with you, dear Asuka."

Asuka blew a sour raspberry in his face as she and her team were shoved into one of the tanks.

TEKKEN

Anvil – Outside the Abandoned Warehouse

Outside, the Jacks escorted Heihachi outside and were preparing to execute him. The other were preparing explosives as one of the Jacks tried to push him down, but he shrugged it off and got on his knees as the one of the Jacks trained his gun on Heihachi.

"I am Mishima Heihachi. I…am…Tekken." he snarled, "You WILL obey."

"...Sure thing, gramps."

Heihachi frowned as the Jack put down his gun and unmasked himself, "What? I don't look like my old man do I?"

"Jin…Kazama?" Heihachi was shocked. How-?

"In the flesh. The bastard child of your son is here, with his friends, to save your old ass. Come on."

The other Jacks finished with the explosives and gave the thumbs up to Jin.

"Job's done," one of them said as the Jack unmasked itself to be Christie Monteiro, "Let's move."

Jin and the Jacks led Heihachi to a nearby van and got inside.

"What going on here?" asked Heihachi as one of the Jacks started the engine.

"You can ask Uncle Lee himself. He's calling the shots." Jin said, "We're safe. Mask off guys."

One by one, the Jacks unmasked and revealed themselves to be Bryan Fury, Raven, Eddy Gordo, Yoshimitsu, Sergei Dragunov, Miguel Rojo, and Steve Fox.

Heihachi could not hide his shock, "But how…"

"Explain later," Steve said as he drove off, "Bombs away!"

"Roger that!" Raven said as he pushed a button on the van.

The abandoned warehouse exploded as Kazuya walked away nearby.

"Heihachi Mishima is dead." he said as his left eye blazed.
