The Future That Nearly Was
Chap 12 – Death Of A Master
I'ts been two years since Allan encountered his father Jin and ever since then hes been more determined to finish Jin for good. The thing Allan didn't understand was why Jin let him live. Jin was so determined to kill him yet Jin stopped. Allan couldn't figure his father even Kazuya didn't know the answer.
It was Allans sixteenth and was spending time next to his mothers grave as usual. Allan touched the headstone carefully and placed her favourite flowers on her grave.
"Mother these are for you and I'm sixteen now. You would've been thirty three."
Allan sadly said. Allan wanted her badly here with him however that can only happen in his dreams. Allan placed one hand onto his, mothers, necklace and looked deeply at the head stone.
"I promise you mum. If there is a way to see you again. I'll take it."
Allan promised his dear mother. Kazuya watched Allan from a far. The scene reminded Kazuya when he was a child that lost his mother. Kazuya placed his head down. I know how you feel Allan. I too blamed myself for my mothers death. Kazuya thought sadly as Lee came next to him.
"So Kaz you think you two can beat Jin now?"
Lee asked softly loud enough for Kazuya to hear. Kazuya looked at Lee not knowing what to say. Kazuya wasn't quite sure if he could but Allan, still hasn't tapped his true powers yet. Kazuya then remembered what Hworang said. "Kazuya take yor grandson and leave. You and I both know we can't beat Devil Jin. Your grandson can hes whats left of Julia." Kazuya then looked at his grandson.
"To be honest Lee I really don't know. Only time will tell I guess."
Kazuya answered truthfully Lee understood and watched Allan.
Jin Mishima was doing his usual killing and bringing terror to survivors.
Allan woke from yet another nightmare that his father brings. Allan always see what his father does to his victims and it's not a pretty sight. Allan sat there feeling bad for taking his time to destroy the darkness. Allan couldn't go back to sleep he decided to go outside there he saw Kazuya looking into the dark sky. The air reaked with blood and the two knew why, Jin Mishima the ultimate death bringer.
"Another dream Allan."
Kazuya asked as he turned to face Allan who was still half asleep, trying to rub the sleep out of his eyes.
"Yeah, that bastard just won't stop."
Allan explained in frustration. Kazuya knew Jin won't stop until he is six feet under the earth.
"Let's go for a walk."
Kazuya suddenly said forgetting about Jin for now. Allan looked at him. A walk? Hes strange today. Allan thought but decided to play along.
"Sure where to?"
Allan asked nicely back.
"The forest."
Kazuya answered. Kazuya lead the way since Allan didn't like the forest thanks to Kazuya and Lee, they use to tell him stories and he would get nightmares. Kazuya came across a log and stopped in front of it. Allan stopped also next to his grandfather. What's with the log? This is where I would find grandpa. Allan thought as he looked at Kazuya who had sadness in his eyes.
"This is where I met Jun Kazama, your grandmother. Jun was the most beautiful woman I laid my eyes on. I just had to make her mine with no reason at all."
Kazuya started. Allan looked hard at the log. No wonder grandpa comes here all the time. Allan thought as he continued to listen he knew Kazuya had more to share.
"However it was forbidden for me to touch her but we defy the odds. We intertwined and she conceived but I wasn't there. I died at the mouth of a volcanoe by my father. Fifthteen years later Jun departed to the after life because I wasn't there to save her and Jin went to Heihachi. Four years later Jin was killed by Heihachi atleast that's what I heard anyway. Two years later I met Jin for the first time and it was strange, he reminded me of myself wanting revenge. Hmm who would ever thought I of all people would be a father, at first I didn't believe it. Anyways I was going to kill Jin but someone stopped me."
Kazuya paused to face Allan.
"You know who stopped me? It was you Allan. You felt scared that I would hurt your parents so you blasted me."
Kazuya said and then laughed. Allan couldn't believe he blasted his granfather but he knew deep down he did. Allan felt bad.
"Two months later I met Jin again hoping to destroy him forever however seeing him with Julia made him happy and since I lost that chance of life, I gave my blessings and spared Jins life. Even though it was forbidden for a Chang to be with a Mishima, Jin and Julia were happy to be with each other, they truly deserved each other. Jin was different from me which I'm glad. I guess he was the stronger one after all but because Julias death Jin transformed and I couldn't stop it. Jin now has lost everything like me."
Kazuya sadly finished his story. Allan placed his hand on Kazuyas shoulder. Kazuya turned to face Allan.
"You haven't lost everything. I'm still here."
Allan assured his grandfather. Kazuya smiled he was really glad to have Allan because Allan was the one who changed him and his life.
"Do you know what Jun told me before I died? If you were to fight your father you will fail not die. You will be killed by your own creation in the years to come."
Kazuya suddenly said. Allan was confused. Creation? Allan sadly thought thinking it might be him. Kazuya smiled he already knew what will kill him.
"Allan what Jun meant was I'll be killed by Jin, my son."
Kazuya truthfully said. Allan shook his head violently.
"No gramps I'm here I'll stop him and that's a promise."
Allan said in frustration but Kazuya knew his death was near.
"Allan like I said no one is made of steel. Nothing lasts forever."
Kazuya assured Allan. Allan knew nothing would last forever but if he looses Kazuya he would be the one lost forever.
"Yeah but your talking as your already dead gramps."
Allan mumbled.
"Let's go back Allan."
Weeks later.
Allan kept his sight on the place making sure his father never came for Kazuya. Allan was sitting next to Julias grave.
"Mom if Jin comes I'm gonna rip his fucking heart out."
Allan angrily said to the head stone then moving closer to it.
"Mom will you forgive me if I kill Jin?"
Allan sadly asked he knew how deeply Julia loved Jin but someone has to stop him or there will be nothing left.
"I really wonder what you saw in him mom."
Allan mumbled and decided to take a quick nap next to his mom.
Kazuya could sense the devil in his chest he knew the time has come but he had to do something to Allan first. Kazuya told Lee earlier to find sleeping herbs that way Allan can be knocked out without physical pain. Moments later Lee returned with the herbs and lot's of it. Lee gave the herbs to Kazuya who couldn't believe how much Lee actualy found.
"Here you go Kaz what you asked for. Are you sure you wanna do this? I mean what if Allan explodes or something? Just the hell I'm suppose to do? You know how much he loves you."
Lee tried to convince Kazuya to think before the act however Kazuya smiled while holding the herbs. Kazuya didn't really want to do this but this was his fight and his alone.
"Lee I've got nothing to teach Allan. Allan knows everything I know. I can't live like this forever and if I were to change into that beast once again I'll never forgive myself. This is my mistake and mine alone. Allan has nothing to do with it."
Kazuya explained sadly to Lee.
"And if you fail Kaz?"
Lee asked. Kazuya already knew the answer this was the day Jun warned him about ever since the second tournament. The day of Kazuyas doom.
"Then death will be my apology."
Kazuya answered sadly while looking at the direction where Allan naps.
The three were just about to have dinner. Kazuya placed the herbs in Allans food and he felt really bad for doing so. Forgive me Allan but I just can't be myself any longer and I don't want to hurt you like I did to others. You'll understand some day. Kazuya sadly thought while grabbing the food. Allan and Lee were already at the dinner table. Kazuya brought the food to the table. Allan and Lee smelt the air.
"Smells good gramps."
Allan praised Kazuya. Kazuya tried hard to smile. This will be the last time I'll be with you Allan. Kazuya thought sadly trying to focus on the food. Lee took the first bite.
"Hmm not bad Kaz, you should run a resturant."
Lee assured Kazuya trying to change Kazuyas mind of action. Allan started to eat.
"Yeah gramps you should. Lee would make a fine waitress."
Allan joked and Kazuya laughed. Lee pointed his fork at Allan.
"Don't go there short stuff."
Moments later Allan started to feel very sleepy. What? Man my body, so jelly like. Allan thought as he tried to stand on his two feet however ended up falling deep sleep on the floor. Kazuya picked him and placed him on his bed. Kazuya stroked Allans cheek one last time. Lee walked in quitely Kazuya turned around to face his brother one last time.
"Lee thank you for everything and take care of Allan for me."
Kazuya whispered. Lee wanted to fight his brother but that would be pointless Kazuya already accepted his fate. Lee sighed in defeat.
"Don't say that Kaz we're bound to see each other again."
Lee said with a smile. Kazuya smiled back and left to find Jin Mishima, his son, to settle the ultimate score.
Jin was already waiting in the rain for his father to show. Moments later Kazuya landed in front of Jin who had a evil smile on his no good face. Kazuya felt his soul slipping, not long to go now and he will at last be at peace, hopefully he'll see her again. Jun Kazama. Kazuya managed to smile.
"So you've come to die hey Kaz?"
Jin taunted with pride as all Mishimas do. Kazuya just glared while holding his chest.
"Shut the fuck up Jin."
Kazuya spat back to his bastard son.
"So wheres Allan? Wish he was here to see your true self. He would fear you after all he loves you so much, he even praises you, thinks high and mighty of you, even looks up to you. You stole my son because you lost yours and after I kill you he'll be mine forever."
Jin growled. Kazuya knew Jin was telling the truth, the whole truth and it hurted him because Allan only knows the one side of him, the side Jun made. Kazuya got into his stance, his breathing became more slower as if he could just die on the spot. Jin got into his stance and smiled.
"Let's go Kaz."
Lee was watching Allan hoping he wouldn't wake or there will be trouble. Allan began to twist and turn. Lee watched in horror thinking Allan would change any time soon.
"Grandpa."
Allan mumbled. Lee looked at Allan.
"I guess it has began."
Lee said as he continued to watch Allan who could probably see the battle.
Kazuya and Jin were clashing however Jin had the upper hand since hes faster than Kazuya. Kazuya tried to punch Jin but Jins barrier appeared which reflected Kazuyas attack and sent Kazuya flying back into the empty building, reaking walls and glass in the process. Jin began laughing.
"What's wrong Kaz? Your hearts not in it anymore."
Jin yelled as he walked to Kazuya who was getting up slowly. Damn you Jin and that fucking Kazama barrier. Kazuya thought then saw an illusion of Allan when he was a child again.
"Grandpa your the greatest. Theres no one stronger than you."
Kazuya had tears in his eyes. Allan. Kazuya thought as he shook the thoughts away as Kazuya came to reality Jin was now in front of him.
"Did you see your grandson Kaz? Are you sure you want to die?"
Jin asked with an evil tone. Kazuya fully quickly but with extreme power punched Jin in the face, blood spewing out, the punch sent him to an empty building. Kazuya kept still for a few seconds. How do you like that Jin? Kazuya thought then suddenly saw Allan again sitting and rubbing his tiny head.
"Gramps why you gotta be so hard on me? Can't you be a little slower? Please."
Kazuya was now officially loosing it he badly wanted to see Allan for some reason but not now. Allan not now please. Kazuya begged as he walked to where Jin was sent but Jin wasn't there. Kazuya looked around and saw Allan again this time as a man.
"Grandpa I'll stop him I promise."
Kazuya shook his head in frustration and then he didn't see it but felt it, really felt it. BANG. Kazuya was hit by Jins blast, it was a direct hit, right into his chest reopening the terrible scare he got from his father. Kazuya screamed in pain as he quickly placed his hand on his chest blood came pouring out like water. Kazuya fell to his knees loosing strength fast. Kazuya found it hard to keep his eyes open. Kazuyas breathing began to go even slower than it was. Kazuyas vision was starting to blur badly. Kazuya looked at the ground nothing but his own dark blood. Kazuya threw up the unwanted blood. Fuck. Jin used Kazama power in that blast. Why are you helping him Jun? Do you too want to see me? As badly as I want to see you. Kazuya thought as he continued to look at the earth covered in his disgusting blood. Jin watched with desire as his father was dying slowly before him.
"How do you like that Kaz."
Allan woke like a zombie holding his chest and breathing rapidly. Lee shitted himself even jumping out of his chair and dropping his life support, the fag. Allan looked around he was covered in sweat. Allan turned to face Lee. Lee knew what Allan was looking for, Kazuya, his grandfather. Allan got out of bed in a flash.
"Lee wheres gramps?"
Allan asked nicely hoping he would get an answer because right now he didn't want to believe what he saw in his nightmare. Lee couldn't tell him out right it would only make things worse. Allan walked up to Lee.
"LEE WHERE IS HE? ANSWER ME!! Please."
Allan shouted with tears Lee knew Allan could fell Kazuyas pain. Lee sighed in defeat. I'm sorry Kaz but I don't want you to die either. Lee thought as he looked at Allan who was just about to break down..
"He went to fight Jin, alone. I tried to stop him but well according to Kaz this is suppose to happen."
Lee sadly said looking down. Allan felt his heart sinking with no time Allan ran outside and headed to where the three last met. Lee didn't bother to stop Allan. Lee wanted Allan to save Kazuya instead. I hope you make it kid. Lee sadly thought as he waits for the results and for some reason he knew Kazuya won't be coming home this time.
Jin was booting Kazuya from place to place like a soccer ball. Blood was everywhere, Kazuyas blood. Kazuya didn't have the strength to fight back Jins blast had a full effect since it was Kazama power. Jin then picked up Kazuya by the head and smiled.
"Come on dad don't be such a bad sport."
Jin said sarcasticly then threw Kazuya, with full force, to the empty building, which was made of concrete, Kazuyas back hitting the building hard, too hard that more Mishima blood came. Kazuya fell to the ground face first, Kazuya got up a little, his elbows on the earth and his head in the air with his brusied stomach on the rocky ground. So this is it. Kazuya thought then seeing his sweet Allan once again.
"Sure smell goods gramps."
Kazuya began to cry as he tried reached for Allan with one hand suddenly Jin landed on his bare back, with his two power knees, breaking every bone possible. Kazuya screamed in pain even more blood poured out. Jin was in fact enjoying the pain he endured on his father. With his last breath Kazuya quickly flipped to face Jin Kazuyas third eye took aim at Jin. Jin froze not daring to move.
"You've killed me but in every Mishima theres always a man that fears his son."
Kazuya mumbled and blasted Jin with the building aswell. Jin was sent into mid air then in sudden anger Jin transformed into the ultimate death bringer, Devil Jin. When the transformation was complete Devil Jin looked down at the broken Kazuya with a smile. Devil Jins third eye started to glow, bigger and brighter. Kazuya just smiled as he placed his hand in the air trying to reach for Jin, then Kazuya saw Jun. Tears ran down Kazuyas, blood covered, cheeks.
"I failed you Jun, and now my only son."
Kazuya mumbled under his desperate breath then closed his eyes seeing his happy memories of Jun, his forbidden lover. Lee, his dim wit brother. Then finally Allan, his pride and joy.
"My grandson. Allan it's up to you now."
Kazuya whispered feeling bad for leaving but he had to go or he too will change. Devil Jin finally blasted at Kazuyas defenceless body with pride. The blast hit however Kazuya showed no pain, Kazuya just laid still accepting all the pain in silence. The light faded away and Devil Jin looked at Kazuya thinking Kazuya was finished for good.
"See you in hell Kaz."
Devil Jin said and took flight back to the Mishima CEO, little Devil Jin knew Kazuya was alive but just barely. Kazuya was waiting for someone, Allan, his grandson.
Allan came to the very spot where they were suppose to be fighting. It started to rain harder Allan looked around and then smelt blood he looked down he couldn't believe how much was flowing.
"Please be alive grandpa."
Allan trembled with extreme fear. Allan was just about to give in but then he saw something in the distance. Allan ran to it as fast as he could while his heart beating heavyly in his chesst as if it will pop right out. Allans heart was breaking at what he saw, it was Kazuya, Allans everything and now it was gone. History was repeating itself, first Allans mother and now his grandfather. Allan looked at Kazuyas destroyed body all limbs completely destroyed with blood all over. No can't be. Why did you do it? Why did you have to leave me? It's not fair. Allan sadly thought as his tears came.
"Gosh no. What did he do to you grandpa?"
Allan trembled as he continued to look at Kazuya.
"You were my best friend. You were everything to me. Everything. It's just isn't fair."
Allan trembled as he dropped to Kazuyas side. There was no sign of anything. Allan didn't know what to do. Allan gently touched Kazuyas face as Kazuya would do to him.
"Grandpa?"
Allan whispered hoping Kazuya would return to him. Kazuya stirred, Allans hopes were coming real but Allan had strange feeling it won't last very long. Kazuya carefully opened his eyes gently hoping not to close them. Kazuya smiled at what he waited for to see, one last time.
"Allan."
Kazuya trembled badly as if Jin has slit his throat.
"Don't talk save your strength."
Allan whispered gently trying to hold his second lot of tears dearly. Kazuya struggled to put his hand up to touch Allan one last time. Allan grabbed his hand in a flash. Kazuya managed to smile. Allan was shaking not knowing what to do next.
"I....wanted...to...see...one...last...time...Allan."
Kazuya trembled. Allan squeezed Kazuyas hand tighter.
"Grandpa please."
Allan begged while tears now running down his face.
"You know you were the first real friend I ever had and I'm sorry that I was rough on you in the past but it was for your own good. The tougher things were the stronger you became, you never gave in you just kept coming. You even surpassed me and I didn't tell you. I'm very proud of you Allan. I'm glad that I've met you and I'm sorry for leaving my burden to you. Free my son Allan, theres good in him I felt it and remember your my grandson and I will always love and be with you."
Kazuya mumble then smiled and dropped his final restraints then shutting his eyes. Kazuya was finally free. Allan was still holding Kazuyas hand he couldn't feel or see life anymore.
"Grandpa?"
Allan whispered but no response. In a rage Allan then grabbed his grandfather like no tomorrow screaming not caring about the blood covering his body.
"GRANDPA!!"
Allan sreamed as he started to see the memories they shared.
"Its my fault that's shes gone."
"Look at me your mother wouldn't want you to think shes your burden. From now on you have to be strong."
"WHY?"
Allans screamed loudly letting go his pain which caused winds blowing violently in all directions.
"The white angel? Is she evil uncle Lee?"
"Yeah she likes eating little boys."
"Lee you didnt have to say that."
"I'LL KILL YOU JIN!!"
Allan screamed as his eyes turned gold and the earth shook violently still holding his grandfather never wanting to let go. The spiritual gene, the Chang power, has finally awakened.
Devil Jin sensed something incredible growing he turn to face where he killed his father. Mother fucker. DevilJin thought at what he saw, tornadoes, so many, forming and going where they please. Devil Jin even felt the earth shake and even splitting. What is this? DevilJin thought deeply then he felt something, someone that he never felt for years. Devil Jin just froze not wanting to believe what he was feeling but it was there, not far away from him.
"Julia?"
Devil Jin whispered as a single tear fell down on his face.
Time later.
Allan and Lee finished burrying Kazuya. Allan kept his gloves as a gift from his grandfather. Allan wore them with pride ever since he was a child he found Kazuyas gloves fascinating and now he'll cherish them along with his mothers belongings.
"Hey Allan I'll be inside ok."
Lee said giving Allan time alone with Kazuya. Allan fell to his knees placing his hand on Kazuyas headstone.
"I will kill Jin if it's the last thing I do."
Allan assured his grandfather then looked at his mom.
"Sorry mom but Jins a nightmare that needs to be put out."
