As of this chapter, Peace Keeper is now my longest fanfic ever. Woot! And it's only half over! By the time this fic ends, It will be called THE Raven Fic! I still don't own Tekken or its characters, by the way. Enjoy this teeny break from the action.

Raven groaned loudly as he tried to walk towards the elevator. Whatever pain he was feeling after the JACK 6 fight was five times as bad now. After finally dragging his wounded body to the elevator, he tried to press the button to the rooftop. There was no response.

"Shit, out of order..." Raven said with a hiss. Luckily, he had a backup plan. His earpiece could also make calls, and he knew Lars didn't go anywhere without his trusty phone.

"Good thing I got his number after our assault on Azazel's Temple," Raven said with a sigh of relief as he input the numbers into his device.

Lars and Alisa were still resting on the rooftop, waiting for Raven to rendezvous with them. Lars was getting worried, especially with all the noise he had heard inside.

"You think he's in trouble?" he asked Alisa.

"Raven is quite a capable fighter, but if Anna had exceptional security planted throughout the headquarters, he may have been weakened upon arrival at her office. If that were the case, the probability that he was defeated in battle is 64.73%." the robot said with a not so cheery expression.

"I don't like those odds..." Lars said with a frown. Suddenly, he heard his City After Dark ringtone playing.

"What the... someone's calling me?"

He quickly whipped out the phone and saw the caller ID: it was Raven.

"Well at least he's not dead," Lars said with a grin, making Alisa giggle.

"Lars here. What's up?"

"I'm stuck here in Anna's office and I'm not in the best shape," Raven said, still coughing a little. "I need an emergency airlift to the rooftop."

"Alisa will take care of it. We've secured Kazuya's personal chopper. You're all that's left. You take care of Anna?"

"I slashed the bitch's neck open, but she got me good. I'm bleeding pretty well from my abdomen and from a few cuts on my arms and legs. It would be great if you... SHIT!"

Raven could hear footsteps approaching the office.

"Uhh, I hate to rush you, but some god damn G Corp soldiers somehow made their way up here! Hurry!"

"Roger that! Alisa's on the way!" Lars said and closed his phone. "Alisa, please hurry!" he yelled to her. She nodded and immediately took off.

Raven turned and faced the doorway, getting into stance. He couldn't do much in his state, but he sure as hell wasn't going to get done in by a bunch of grunts. The footsteps got louder and louder until finally a squadron of soldiers flooded the doorway, aiming their guns at Raven's head and chest.

"Well" Raven said with a smile. "You must have climbed a hell of a lotta stairs to get here. Did you try taking the elevator?" he said sarcastically.

"Where is Ms. Williams?!" the lead soldier cried.

"See for yourself." Raven motioned toward the ground. The soldiers cried out in shock at the sight of their leader soaked in blood.

"You... you... BASTARD! Who are you working for?!" As the lead soldier yelled, all the guns cocked at once.

"Who do you think?" Raven said with a smug grin. "She paid a pretty penny. It's kind of ironic, really. Here I thought SHE was the assassin for hire."

"You Mishima dog!" the soldier bellowed.

Before the soldiers could squeeze of a shot, Alisa burst through the window of the office and snatched Raven.

"Wha... what the fu-?" the soldier all backed up in amazement. Alisa gave a wink and flew out of the building, Raven in her arms.

"Your timing couldn't have been better!" Raven yelled.

"Actually, my reaction time could have been quicker by 1.5 seconds. I apologize." she said with a smile.

As they landed on the rooftop, Lars had already fired up the chopper.

"Come on, let's go!" He yelled to them, motioning.

"Can you walk, Mr. Raven?" Alisa asked, holding him up.

"Yeah, don't worry about me!" Raven replied, giving an okay signal. They quickly leaped in the chopper as it descended off the helipad and took of into the sky above the city. After a moment to get their bearings, Raven spoke.

"I convinced the G Corp soldiers that I was hired by the Mishima Zaibatsu. They're too ignorant to realize how personal Nina and Anna's rivalry was, so they bought it pretty easily."

"You do realize that's going to make the G Corporation even angrier, right?" Lars asked.

"Look, I didn't want to do it, but the G Corp is our ticket into the Zaibatsu headquarters. Right about now, the commanding officer is on the radio telling everybody what I just said. That's gonna make their retaliation that much harder. They'll tear apart the Zaibatsu to get revenge."

"So let me get this straight. You intentionally pissed of the G Corporation army so they'll fight HARDER against the Tekken Force?"

"I pissed them off so they'll create an opening for us to get inside. You've been there just as well as I have. You know there's only one way inside and up to the top. No openings, no shortcuts, no windows to break through. The elevator is the ONLY way. But to stop Nina, we have to GET there, first. Gonna be kind of hard if we're shot full of holes the minute we're near the compound."

"It's an unfortunate but effective diversionary tactic." Alisa chimed in. "While the two armies are locked in combat, the three of us will slip inside and get to the Grand Elevator. There is a 98% chance Nina Williams will be waiting at the top."

"Alright, I understand." Lars said, rubbing his forehead. "One more question, though: say we get there, and Nina already knows of Anna's death. What if the Tekken Force surrenders, but the G Corp won't listen to reason?

"I... haven't made it that far yet." Raven said with a sigh. "Once I've taken care of Nina either physically or diplomatically, we're to pull out immediately until I contact HQ for further details. It isn't pretty, but orders are orders."

"Those are your orders, not mine. I'm here to STOP the fighting."

"You have to trust me." Raven said sternly. The two of them stared at each other for a full minute before Lars turned his head.

"...Fine. But you better have a trick up your sleeve to put an end this shit."

And with that, the trio was silent as they flew towards their next destination.

The battle rages on as our heroes race toward the Mishima HQ. Next chapter: storming the damn fortress for the second time! For the sake of this fanfic, let's assume that it's not as easy as breaking through a window or landing on the roof. Cut me some slack -_-
