The Future That Nearly Was
Chap 14 – The Secret Power Of Kazama
The war between heaven and hell was finally over. Allan had destroyed the worlds darkest nightmare his father, Jin Kazama. However Allan now had no one, even though Jin turned to madness Allan still loved his father even felt sorry for him. Jin Kazama was his father and he couldn't change that no matter how hard he wished it. People have finally came out of the shadows to start a new life on what's left on the planet. For Allan he knew deeply there was nothing to fill his empty spaces in his broken heart. Lee now has a woman in his life and they're planning to go furthure. Lee even told Allan to get one and settle but his heart just wasn't there anymore it doesn't even know how to beat. Everything Allan had was now gone, his mother, Julia, his grandfather, Kazuya and now his father, Jin. Allan returned to the head stones, he wanted to go home. Allan sat there next to Kazuya and Julia wondering what to do next. Allan knew the answer absolutely nothing.
"What now gramps?"
Allan said as he looked at Kazuyas grave. Allan wanted to bury his father but Jins body vanished after the major battle. Allan turned to his mothers he placed his hand on the head stone.
"Thanks for helping me. I'm sorry mom I know you loved dad so much. I wanted to bury him here with you but his body left the earth. You know he said your name and that's when I knew he."
Before Allan finished his story he felt something quite powerful coming from the forest. Allan got up facing the forest with cautious. Allan has sensed this before but this one was stronger, much stronger.
"What is that? Same presence as dads but different, much different."
Allan said out loud as he decided to follow the mysterious presence. Allan wasn't sure what it will be but he was prepared for anything. Allan walked deeper and deeper into the forest that he use to be extremely afraid of.
"Well gramps I'm not scared anymore."
Allan said to himself and laughed softly. Kazuya and Lee use to tell him stories about the forest and it's gurdian, the white angel. Even to this day he thought if the white angel really exsist. Then suddenly the presence was getting stronger and stronger it was surrounding the whole area.
"This is sure the same presence to my father."
Allan said to himself. Now he was wondering if Jin was alive or something else. Moments later he came across a strange looking tomb.
"What the hell? A tomb in the middle of nowhere."
Allan said as he approached the tomb slowly making sure this wasn't a trap of some sort. The presence was getting even stronger. Allan walked deeper into the tomb. The air was getting thick and he felt the extreme cold hit his body.
"Man what's down here?"
Allan said. Then suddenly a flah of light brightened the entire room. Allan quickly closed his eyes.
"What is this?"
Allan yelled in frustration. Then the light slowly faded away however the air was still thick and cold. Allan opened his eyes slowly one by one. Someone was standing in front of him a woman to be exact. Allan didn't know who it was but Kazuya was right about the white angel. The angel was absolutely beautiful, white skin, black hair but what struck Allans heart was her eyes. The angel had the same expression when he saw his mother before she died. The angel just looked so sad as if she has lost something or someone dearly. Allan kept still.
"Allan."
The angel whispered. Allan felt scared. She knows me? How? I don't know her. Allan seriously thought as he kept staring at the beautiful angel.
"Who are you?"
Allan asked. The angel just smiled.
"I'm Kazama, Jun Kazama."
Jun said gently. Allan couldn't believe his eyes his grandmother was in front of him. Allan wished Kazuya was here to see this. Allan walked to her slowly.
"Grandma."
Allan whispered. Jun smiled as she placed one hand gently on his face. Her touch is real but how she died years ago at least that's what grampa said. Allan thought as he sank into her touch.
"Your very handsome like your father and of course your grandfather."
Jun whispered. Allan knew why now she was extremely sad. Jun has lost her lover and now her only son to the devil. Jun sadly puts her hand down.
"Grandma I thought you were."
Allan was just about to ask but Jun cut him off she knew exactly what he was going to ask after all she is a Kazama. Kazamas can read minds.
"Dead? My body is gone but my spirit remains here."
Jun explained to her grandson. Allan nodded his head.
"I'm sorry."
Allan apologised while nodding his head again.
"There is no need to apologise. You've done nothing wrong. Jin died after the third tournament by his grandfathers hands not yours."
Jun assured Allan. Allan felt a little better. Allan seriously thought Jun would hate him for killing his father, Jin, her son. Jun looked at Allan she knew he was missing someone dearly. Allans mother, the person he never got to know personaly.
"Allan do you know your mother."
Jun asked quitely hoping not to hurt Allan in any way. Allan felt like breaking down or even crying when she asked. She probably knows how much I miss my mom. Allan thought sadly and shook his head no.
"No. The day I was suppose to meet her was the day she died."
Allan trembled badly it's been fourteen years since he spoke of her to anyone. Allan was trying hard to hide his tears of sorrow. No I can't cry. Not in front of grandma. Allan thought as he tried to make a different expression. Jun was hurt she'd never knew the day of his joy to be with his mother became his nightmare from hell. Jun thought of Jin how she had to leave him because he was the son of Devil. It was forbidden for a Kazama to intertwined with a Mishima however Jun and Kazuya broke the boundary and becaues they did their joy, Jin Kazama, became a true nightmare.
"I'm sorry Allan."
Jun apologised while placing her hand on Allans shoulder to comfort him.
"It's ok. I know shes with me. Even in the darkest hour."
Allan said proudly while holding onto her, priceless, necklace which was given to her by her mother, Michelle. Jun looked at the necklace. Michelle I'm sorry about Julia. Jun sadly thought. Jun now wanted to help Allan because she knew he had the power after all he is the perfect life force.
"Allan. Do you want to see her again?"
Jun asked seriously with her arms folded. Allan looked at her with cautious. Is she serious? Allan thought deeply.
"Yes. I do more than anything. But how? Shes gone forever."
Allan explaind sadly while still holding Julias necklace but Jun just smiled which made Allan confused.
"There is one way."
Jun said calmly. Allans heart was beating hundred to one. Allan only dreamed of seeing her but this could be his chance to actually see her, Kazuya and of course Jin again.
"There is? How please tell me grandma. I'll do anything."
Allan begged even went onto his knees. How could Jun refuse? Allan was like Jin all over. You really look like your father even that tone. Jun thought happily as she helped Allan to his feet.
"The true power of Kazama. Not even the Mishimas knew and if they knew I guess war will rise once again. The power is time travel."
Allan froze completely in his spot. Time travel? Allan thought as he looked at Jun. Isn't that kinda like impossible? Allan thought again.
"Can it actually work? Sounds kinda impossible grandma."
Allan trembled hoping the answer would be an absolute yes. Jun smiled.
"If the user is pure at heart he or she may travel back in time considering no Kazama has done it before but the power is real. There a some limits, though."
Jun paused a bit but Allan didn't care he just have to save his mother and everyone else.
"Tell me my limits."
Allan asked nicely not wanting to sound too desperate.
"First when you travel back you younger self will be out of action until you return home and even if you succeed in saving your mother somethings else may occur. Maybe something even worse than what you've already experienced in the future."
Jun explained seriously hoping Allan would take this seriously. Allan nodded his head to show his understanding.s
"I guess that's the risk I'll have to take."
Allan said and Jun nodded.
"Remember clear your body, thoughts and soul. You can do it. I believe in you Allan."
Jun explained how the power will work and the rest is up to him. Allan nodded his head.
"I will and thank you. I won't let you down grandma."
Allan promised Jun knew in her heart he'll succeed since he is the most powerful being alive. Allan was just about to leave.
"Wait Allan theres one more thing I have for you."
Jun stopped him Allan looked at her.
"You forgot this."
Jun said in her hand was a locket of her and Kazuya. Allan smiled at the picture it's been a while since he saw Kazuya smile.
"What do you want me to do grandma?"
Allan asked while she placed the locket into both of his hands with hers on his.
"Tell Kazuya I'm waiting for him."
Jun whispered softly then she turned into light and went into Allans heart. Allan felt even more powerful than before. Allan smiled as he placed his hand on his chest.
"Guess you wanna come too. Thanks grandma."
Allan said as he put the locket in his shirt pocket. You'll be safe there. Allan thought, now he has his grandma with him. Allan left the place and returned home.
Allan had been trying the new power, for two months now but nothing happened. Allan took a break then he remembered what Jun said. "Clear your body, thoughts and soul."
Allan didn't understand it one bit but was afraid to tell Jun. Allan sat there as if all hope was finally lost. Allan looked at the locket he got from Jun. Help me grandma. Allan begged but nothing. Allan then looked at the distance buildings were there, appearing.
"What?"
Allan said as he blinked instantly and then they dissapeared. Allan was freaky out on what just happened. Am I loosing it? Allan sadly thought until he heard a voice in the distance.
"Relax. If you want to see me Allan."
Allan froze like ice he knew that voice quite well he even heard it when he battled Jin. Allan looked around hoping she was there but to his horror she wasn't.
"Mom is that you?"
Allan whispered hoping to hear her again even though he was freaking out to the core he really wanted to hear or even better see her, it's been fourteen years after all.
"I really am loosing it."
Allan said in frustration then he saw her she was smiling and walking towards him. Allan was now thinking if this was a dream or maybe he really was loosing it. Julia stopped in front of him, Allan started to breath heavyly. Julia smiled and placed her hand on his handsome face. Julias touch was real Allan just froze trying hard not to cry.
"Gosh Allan the only thing you have of me are my eyes, you've grown so handsome. I bet all the girls are after you. Hmm I guess Kazama genes are pure. Jin looked like Jun and you look like them both."
Julia whispered as she checked her sons physical form then laughed softly. There was sadness in Julias face and Allan knew why, his image was the memory of her lover, Jin Kazama. However Allan was still completely frozen at his mothers presence.
"Kaa-sah."
Allan trembled his eyes swelling with tears. Julia deeply looked at her son she knew all these years he blamed himself for her death and it's now toring him apart, limb by limb and if this keeps going Allan may end up like his, dear, father. A man who was afraid to forgive himself and in the end he lost everything, even himself.
"Allan listen to me it wasn't your fault. I would have gladly died for you that day, so stop blaming yourself, please for me. Your not weak, being weak is human and that's what you are. Don't think of me as your burden because I'm not. I love you, your my son."
Julia explained to Allan placing her hands on his manly cheeks. Allan rested on her hands hoping this moment would last forever. This was more than a dream come true.
"You were there weren't you? When I battled Jin."
Allan whispered Julia dropped her hands and looked at Allan.
"Yes I was. I lost Jin years ago. I couldn't loose you."
Julia trembled while her beautiful brown eyes were swelling.
"Jin still loves you mom. He even said your name and asked me if your safe. I didn't know what to say then he said hes coming for you."
Allan explained Julia was in shock. Jins coming for me. Finally, he owes me. Julia thought as she kept her tears, she really wanted to cry. It's been fourteen years since shes seen Jin.
"Jin."
Julia whispered.
"After the fight Jin turned to dust. Then when I got home he was there placing his ring on your grave then he saw me and said "Than you." Jin faded after that. As for the ring I burried it with you."
Allan finished his story. Julia was happy she knew Jin was there but some where no one could reach.
"Mom I'm sorry about blaming myself for your death but I will save you this time so wait for me."
Allan apologized then assured her. Julia smiled and went to hug her son tears flowing for her husband, Jin Kazama. Allan could hear sobs but he let her cry after all she lost the love of her life forever. At first Allan felt uncertain thinking this was a crazy dream but this was Julia, his mother. Allan hugged her back wishing nothing would disturb this peacefull moment. I wish I had this comfort when I was growing up. Allan thought for some reason he felt like a child once again.
"It's ok I'm with you and soon we'll meet I promise."
Julia whispered. Allan was still frozen he couldn't believe what was happening. Then all of a sudden the forest started to change. Allan was now freaking out hugging Julia even tighter.
"Kaa-sah."
Allan managed to say Julia held him tighter trying to calm her son, Jins replicant.
"It's ok Allan. Now relax your body. Clear your thoughts. Free your soul. I'll be waiting."
Julia assured her son. Allan followed his mothers instructions. The moment he closed his eyes his body started to glow white Julia dissapeared into the light, this was the power of a Kazama. Allans body was sucked into a deep hole. Allan felt extremely sick almost ready to puke his lunch that he had earlier. Allan opened his eyes slowly he was in a strange looking room, the air was extrmemly terrible and the gravity was way too high. Allan started to sweat rapidly, he even found it hard to breath but then he saw the memories of his family. Kazuya and Jun, his grandparents, then Jin and Julia, his parents. Allan smiled as he reached for them. I'll save you mom and dad. I promise. Allan made a promise to his parents memories, they smiled back as if they heard him and they started to fade into the light. The place started to change once again. Allan kept his ground.
"This is it."
Allan said hoping he was right. Then the area got brighter and brighter. Allan had his eyes closed once again. Allan remained completely still then suddenly everything had stopped he can now feel the earth.
"I'm here."
