The sky was filled with signs resembling the Pandora box, it showed a massive struggle between the strongest beings on Earth and the two strongest martial artists. Jin and Ryu fought against their greatest enemies, Akuma and Ancient Ogre. Ryu and Akuma were on the ground, staring challenging at each other while Jin and Ogre were in the sky, floating across one another.
"So... You managed to control the Satsui no Hadou inside of you, whelp!" Akuma said with his arms folded to the warrior.
Ryu puts his fist up and looked troubled.
"Yes, my mind was almost consumed by the Satsui no Hadou. But the reason I could control it was because... I had a friend that helped me see who I really was." Ryu said encouraged.
"Who might that be!" Akuma said loudly.
"Ryu, the wandering warrior! I travel the world to fight strong opponents and to learn more, that is who I am. My friends, Ken, Sakura, Sagat, Chun-Li and Cammy helped me through my hard times. I am very thankful for them." Ryu said while his eyes were glowing normal, controlling the energy.
"Humph... You still have ways to go, don't get overconfident in your abilities!" Akuma said.
"Akuma, I have a question before we start. Why did you do it, why did you kill Master Gouken, your own brother!" Ryu demanded.
"Humph... Gouken was a fool and a weakling, he believed that the fighting style that was meant to murder your opponent should not be used that way. He created a peaceful way of fighting without killing your opponent. I killed that fool because of his foolish way of peaceful fighting and wrongly using the style of fighting it was meant for." Akuma explained.
Ryu puts his head down and eyes closed.
"Killing your opponent is not the way. You should fight to better yourself, not to take someone's life away. That is what my master wanted, to fight without killing, but to share knowledge." Ryu said encouraging.
"Enough talking! Show me what you got, whelp." Akuma said as he stood in fighting stance.
Ryu builds up his ki as he got surrounded by a blue aura instead of red, showing his control over the Satsui no Hadou.
"I'm ready." Ryu said as he also stood read. "This is the moment I have trained for, I need to remember master's teaching." as he stood ready.
Akuma and Ryu exchange the same kick and started a fight.
Meanwhile, in the air, Devil Jin was looking at Ogre, his worst nemesis. He thought about several years ago when Ogre first attacked. He saw an image of Ogre destroying Jun's house and floating inside the building. As he realised the recent situation, Jin saw Ogre smiling menacing and his arm pulled out while purple energy was surrounding his being.
"Why... Why did you take her! Why did you take away the only person I had! Tell me!" Jin yelled angered.
Ogre puts his hand back and instead, puts it on his mouth, releasing a purple power. In an instant, the energy disappeared and Ogre spoke up.
"Your language. So, you want to know why? So be it." Ogre said in fluent English.
"Yes, before I destroy you again, tell me why you took Jun Kazama!" Jin demanded.
"Very well. I left my home planet to find strong beings that can provide me of absorbing. I found planet Earth and searched the world over for the strongest fighter. I had every soul I needed to complete my own unbeatable fighting style, the power of wrestling, King, the mighty kicks of Taekwondo. Baek Doo San, and many more, but I still missed one powerful soul. You can guess yourself who that was boy." Ogre said.
"My mother, Jun Kazama." Jin said.
"Yes, her soul was the strongest out of all of them, she had an angelic energy that was stronger than a normal being. With her soul, I would be invincible. Until I forgot to absorb one strong fighter, and idiot called Paul Phoenix, the power of Karate mixed with Judo. He had a strong mind, and I didn't have enough power to beat him then. But now, I don't need his idiotic soul, I am more powerful than ever." Ogre said.
"That day, when you took her away from me, I lost everything. Heihachi Mishima trained me, but betrayed me for his own selfish desires. I thought he was my only family left and I trusted him with my life. That day changed me forever. I have been distant to people to protect them from my Devil Gene. But on this day, I wouldn't have made it here without them. I am thankful for them, Hwoarang, Xiaoyu, each and every one of them." Jin said encouraging.
"Then I will break that bond, when I am done with you, I go after that Auburn haired guy, his soul has a strong fighting spirit, stronger than the last Taekwondo fighter." Ogre said
"Your time here on Earth will be permanently over." Jin said as he stood ready and prepared his Hellfire Blast.
Back at the fight, Yang stood cross Lars who was still infected with Pandora's power. Yang's possibility to free Lars from the energy has failed as his strongest attack was not strong enough.
"Lars, you will fight me again, this time, I'll get you out of it." Yang said confident.
"Hurrgghh..." Lars mumbled when he stomps his foot on the ground and puts his arms folded.
Yang dashed to Lars who was off guard, to his mistake, Yang got tricked by Lars into thinking he was wide op. The soldier used his Silent Entry stance which results into the warrior crouching beneath Yang in a sneaky stance, making him wide open for an attack. The red warrior used his Lightning Thrust and pushed him massively away with his fist.
"Nrrgghh..." Yang mumbled as he slides away.
He regained control again and dashed quickly towards Lars with his Pleasant Trot. Then as he stood in front of Lars, Yang used his Praying Mantis Slash up to three times on his opponent. The attack Yang dealt launched Lars away, making him land perfectly on a rock.
"Not strong enough!" Lars said as he jumped in the air using his Avalanche Stomp.
Yang quickly stepped aside and used his jump kick, Drilling Bow Tight. The two fighter took their distant.
"This... is going to take a while, what else can I do? He has an arsenal of answers for my attacks." Yang thought.
While they were still fighting, Hwoarang slowly woke up and opened his eyes.
"Wow, where... what happened, ah my head." Hwoarang said in pain while looking around the area.
He saw several of his comrades unconscious, Yang and Lars who was still infected with Pandora's power fighting, and Alisa, Yun, Xiaoyu, Ken and Cammy spectating as they didn't want to interfere with the recent fight.
"Man, someone really needs to fill me in on the details." Hwoarang said while standing on the ground. "I better wake everyone up everyone." as he ran towards Chun-Li.
He stood next to Chun-Li's unconscious body and shuffled her around.
"Chun-Li, wake up, come one." Hwoarang said when she opened her eyes.
"Wh-What is... what is going one?" Chun-Li asked confused.
"I don't know, everything is still blurry for me too. We have to wake the others up, help me out would you." Hwoarang said.
He helped her up on he ground.
"You wake up Juri and Sakura, I'll take that green guy." Hwoarang said as he pointed his thumb towards Blanka.
"Blanka, but alright, we move out. " Chun-Li said as she ran towards Sakura first.
She saw Sakura laying on he ground and woke her up.
"Sakura, wake up." Chun-Li said as she also woke up slowly. "You're going to be alright, now Juri." as Chun-Li quickly ran up to Juri's body.
"Juri, come one, time to wake up." Chun-Li said as Juri opened her eyes.
"Oh, it's you, horse legged cop. Uuuwwaahh I'm tired..." Juri said.
"Arrggh, don't call me that would you!" Chun-Li said enraged.
"Whatever, what is going on?" Juri asked exhausted.
"I don't know, come one, we have to meet up with Hwoarang Sakura and Blanka." Chun-Li said as she ran away.
Juri followed her to her comrades. Meanwhile, Hwoarang ran up towards Blanka who was snoring hardly.
"Yo, green man, wake..." Hwoarang said when he puts his hand on Blanka's shoulder. "Adaaahh... wow, that hurts like hell!" he shouted when he got electrocuted.
"Man, I'm not touching him anymore. How does he make those shocks?" Hwoarang asked as he thought for a second. "Green man, wake up!" he yelled loudly as Blanka woke up extremely shocked.
"Awrow, awrow aawrroowww! Huh, I'm tired." Blanka shouted while bumping his chest.
"Come one, we have to meet up with the others." Hwoarang said as he walked away.
"Hey, wait for me." Blanka said as he ran after him.
Hwoarang and Blanka went to Chun-Li who were with Sakura and Juri.
"Wassup guys!" Hwoarang said as he arrived with Blanka.
The group of three saw Hwoarang approaching with Blanka.
"Good, you made it, but does anyone know what is going?" Chun-Li asked.
"I am guessing that nobody knows, look, Xiaoyu, Yun, Alisa and Cammy are over there, come one!" Hwoarang said as everybody ran towards the second group.
Back at the last battle, Ryu and Akuma were in a struggle while Jin was in a struggle trying to hit Ogre with his Hellfire blast. Ryu tried his right punch, Akuma grabbed his hand and threw him away, crashing into a small rock formation. Ryu stood troubled up. He concentrated to make sure he does not lose his focus.
"Stay calm, I just need to be more strategic." Ryu said when he stood on his feet again, hinting Akuma to continue.
Akuma teleported towards Ryu and continued the final battle. While Ryu was fighting is rival, Jin held off Ogre with his skills in karate, mixed with his new Devil power, granted by Jun.
As they were flying Jin attacked, using his Electric Wind Hook Fist as lightning bolts appeared all of his body. Ogre blocked it successfully and dealt his punisher, Power Punch in the gut. Jin felt pushed back and touched his stomach.
"Nrrgghh..." Jin grunted.
Ogre gestured Jin with his hand as he tried to not get intimidated by Ogre.
While they were still busy with the final battle, the group of five ran up to the remaining group that was watching Yang fight Lars with everything he had.
When they arrived, the spectating group of Xiaoyu, Cammy, Ken, Alisa and Yun. Ken saw the group of Hwoarang, Chun-Li, Sakura, Blanka and Juri running towards them.
"Hey guys, look ever there!" Ken yelled happily.
"It's the others, they are okay!" Cammy yelled.
"Glad they are alright." Cammy said in serious tone.
Hwoarang arrived first, followed by the others who stood either next to him on behind him.
"Yeah, we are good, Pandora's influence left our bodies for some reason." Hwoarang said.
"It's because this whole Pandora plot is a test to see how strong we are. Cammy, can you explain it?" Ken asked.
"Certainly! You see, Ken and I found out that all our attacks had no effect on you, so we had to resort to our most powerful attacks. When we used them, the influence left your bodies. What we think is that when Pandora arrived here, it was to see if the planet had strong fighters who may approach it, and therefore, he had to send for the two strongest fighters on Earth for the test, thus Akuma and that Ancient Ogre." Cammy explained.
"What a story, but what can we do now? Where are Ryu, Jin, Lars and Yang?" Chun-Li asked.
"Yang is off there, fighting Lars because his strongest attack was not strong enough." Yun said.
"And Ryu and Jin?" Chun-Li asked.
While they were talking, Ryu tried to punch Akuma, but the demon ducked at the last second and gave him a strong kick, launching him away. Jin used his Demon's Paw, but Ogre grabbed his arm and swung him around and eventually let him go. Ryu and Jin both got launched to the group while they laid on the ground. The group looked surprised at the changed warriors as the two stood up and looked at them.
"Alright, alright, I admit from a girl who got her eye fixed with a ki booster, that Devil form looks hella cool." Juri said when she pointed at Jin.
Jin looked at his arm and then back at the group.
"Yeah, next up, you should let your head fixed, hehehehehe." Hwoarang said comedic.
Juri pushed him aside by his comment.
"Shut up, you idiot." Juri said afterwards.
The group started to laugh, but then focused themselves on the conflict going on. Juri had her arms folded and eyes closed, but let out a small smiling grin on her face.
"Anyways... What happened to you guys, Ryu, Jin, what is this?" Chun-Li asked.
"Jin, are you okay? You look like a... Devil of some sort." Xiaoyu said scared.
"We are fine, Ryu and I managed to control the dark energy inside of use. We can now use it to our advantage." Jin explained.
"So like... You are a full Devil now?" Hwoarang asked.
"Yes, my mother hid another part of me, now I got it back." Jin said.
"Well that's great..." Hwoarang said sarcastic.
"What about you Ryu, buddy, you look different too." Ken said.
"It was Jin, he made me realise who I am, therefore I was able to control the Satsui No Hadou. Now I am in complete control and go this blue energy surrounding me." Ryu said thankful.
"Now that everyone is here, let's help out Ryu and Jin!" Xiaoyu said cheered up.
"No Xiaoyu, fighting them is too dangerous for all of you, Jin and I will take care of them. Lars is fighting Yang? You guys help out Yang if he needs it." Ryu said.
"Alright, Ryu and Jin will take Akuma and Ogre, come one guys, we go to Yang and see if he can use some help." Cammy said. "Move out!" she yelled when everybody can after her towards Yang.
Hwoarang stopped for a moment and approached Jin.
"Kazama, when this is over, I want to fight you in this form." Hwoarang said.
Jin did not answer Hwoarang as he went with the others. Jin looked back at Ryu.
"Ryu, this is it, we have to finish it once and for all." Jin said.
"You are right Jin, together, we can do it." Ryu said when he ran away to his opponent Akuma and Jin flew in the sky towards Ancient Ogre.
Back at Yang versus Lars, the opposition was even this time. Yan and Lars were both getting tired, Yang a bit more because of him fighting for a longer periods of time.
"Heeheehee..." Yang gasped.
"Heeheehee..." Lars gasped.
Yang looked at Lars and looked angry.
"Lars, can you hear me! This fight will end right now, and one of us will be the winner!" Yang yelled.
Lars gestured at Yang and they dashed to each other. Lars used his attack called Gilbert Cannon, an attack which results his a mid punch and a launching high kick. Yang got hit by Lars and did several backflips to recover.
"Argh, man, this is like one hour ago, I told him I will finish, so I will." Yang said when he stood up.
Lars grunted menacing, and suddenly made a lighting surge surrounding his being. He raises his right hand and widens his feet. Yang looked stunned at Lars's ki attacks.
"What is he doing?" Yang asked.
Then, in a flash, Lars fired his attack, and Yang go hit with the lighting greatly damaging him. Yang got launched and fell is a large pack of snow. Yang wiped the snow off of him and looked at Lars.
"Will his ever end, I need to think of said that you need to use your strongest attack... Oh, I go it, this needs to work, or else, I'm a goner." Yang said when he stood up.
Lars rushed towards Yang and followed up. When the wo were getting close, Yang crouches down and initiates a Roll Kick. He kicked Lars up and juggled him around in the air for big damage. When he dealt the last kick, Lars got launched away to a rock.
The surroundings got crashed as Yang landed safely on the ground. When he slowly approached the rubble, he moved the rocks away to see if Lars was alright. When he looked, he saw the influence of the Pandora leaving Lars's body. Therefore, Yang has proven himself to be a strong warrior worthy of approaching the Pandora.
