Chapter 33: An Assassin's Role, Kazumi's Guilt

After Hunyo's discharged at the hospital and return to his home, Marissa and Lee are overjoyed for his return. He later changes into his home clothes wearing a short sleeved polo shirt, denim shorts and slippers so that they can eat dinner with his family. As the doorbell rings, Hunyo is the one who opens and to see both Brian and Rolento.

"Hey, Brian and Rolento... what's up?" Hunyo greeted as Brian eventually knocks him with a single kick to the surprise of everyone.

"That's a strong kick..." Lee commented.

"Hwoarang would never do that if he and I we usually meet and greet each other." Jin said mentioning his rival Hwoarang.

"I heard you have been gone for three days straight and you're not telling us about this." Brian scolds Hunyo for his brief disappearance.

"Yeah... what's with you. I thought you were having an abroad." Rolento said also scolds him making Hunyo became annoyed from their actions.

"You two don't know exactly what happened to me? I was travelling to Lee's place and I wouldn't noticed for myself being synchronized with Jin."

"Seriously?" Both wondered as Margie, Josie and Ibrahim came to see them which she tells them.

"He was telling the truth, he came out in Jin's body then he comes out on thin air when he shows up. That's what a synchronized person comes out."

While they were eating dinner, Margie finally shows the listings of the DIRGE members which everyone are shocked that they resemble the rebel group.

"They're the same as from the splinter group that I was facing." Ibrahim commented.

"Manuel is the big fish of this organization... The one Hunyo was confronting." Rolento said pointing out on Manuel's face while Jin looked at the person which is Manuel's right-hand as Margie noticed him.

"Who's this person...? I've never seen this person before?"

"That's Arman Guevarra... He's a serial killer who remains at large and was responsible for murdering innocent people." Margie explained. "He is known as the psychopathic killer who enjoys killing especially towards women and children."

"I heard that in the news about this person. He may look like handsome in appearance but for his behavior, he's way more dangerous." Brian said after hearing this news.

"I can't believe people like Josie are also white just like Rei." Jin said coldly to see the man's appearance as Hunyo tells him.

"Some male Filipinos are call them as mestizos if they are inherited the skin of their parents. You were lucky that your skin complexion was taken from your mother, Jun. But your current complexion right now looks just like your father, Kazuya."

"..."

"Hunyo... I have a question?" Brian asked which Hunyo replies.

"What for?"

"It's about your hair and your fringes looks the same as how Jin would look like." Brian noticed his hair which Hunyo scowls from his point of view.

"Cut it out, Brian...! You think I would look like Jin with that look..."

"Relax, Hunyo... your hair grows out with only just three days. With the long bangs and face, you really look a lot like Jin." Rolento mocked Hunyo as a look-alike of Jin making him infuriated.

"Rolento... not even you too!"

"What's with the issue?" Rhima wondered as Jin begins to laugh at Hunyo's reaction. "Why are you laughing, Jin?"

"How would your father get mad if he looks at lot like me?"

"I had no idea..."

"Shaheen would get screwed if he was at their conversation." Ibrahim smiled at their conversation which Margie laughs.

"Like they say... Hunyo is indeed to have similar looks and appearance to Jin's. Much like identical twins..."

"Knock it off, you guys... I told you I'm NOT like Jin!" Hunyo barked furiously which Jin butts in their conversation.

"Ahem... Mr. Panganiban."

"What is it?"

"Like everyone says, you were indeed look at lot like me..." Jin happily smiles while pointing his index finger to himself making Hunyo becomes cursed in disappointment.

"Aww... Can you shut up for a moment, Jin? You and all others are ganging up on me to look like you, Huuhuhh..."

"Despite their looks and appearance, my dad's most defining trait was his temper. That's why he is always yelling..." Rhima smiled in delight making Josie laugh at her comment.

After the discussion and everyone are all asleep, Jin couldn't sleep well because of his current condition happened to him. He is sharing with Rhima on her bed and he calmly looked at her who is asleep. He kisses her hair gently and finally stood up to get some water. When he get down the stairs to get some water, he saw the door had opened and to see Hunyo was wondering outside. Hunyo sensed that Kazumi was still present in their world and wants to return her kanzashi back to her.

I know you were there, Kazumi. Despite you were killed by your own husband for your purpose on killing him, what kind of a family are you thinking? Trying to act like assassins to assassinate their victims.

"Mr. Panganiban... you're still awake?" Jin asked calmly which Hunyo looked at him in upset as he replies.

"It's about your grandmother, Jin. That's the reason why I'm awake..."

With that, Jin decides to stay with Hunyo for a short time as they talked about Kazumi's presence and her death at the hands of her husband.

"So you were handling that hairclip this whole time. Why did you keep it?" Jin said questioning him and Hunyo admits it.

"That's when Manuel and I were fighting for the gun during the University Siege, Kazumi just saved my life by summoning her pet tiger to take him down until she gave me her hairclip before she assumes in her devil form."

"..."

"Whenever I tried to talk to her about this. I haven't gotten a chance to give her hairclip back. Lee was saying that her hairclip is a limiter device to restrain her Devil Gene." Hunyo said sadly while lowering his head.

"Mr. Panganiban... you need to return it back to her." Jin suggested as he warns him about his father. "I know Kazuya will definitely out to catch you. Just like you confront him at first."

"I finally realized how your father becomes a monster he had become." Hunyo coldly states about Kazuya's actions. "Kazumi needs to blame for what she had done before. Her attemps to kill her husband Heihachi and their true purpose of their family. Your grandfather has reasons why he didn't tell your father about your grandmother's evil nature and the maternal side of her family."

"Mr. Panganiban... are you saying about the whole truth...?" Jin said shockingly about his words.

"Yeah..." Hunyo said smirking which Jin realizes the situation and he finally tells him.

"I've never seen you were talking so nice to me. Kazuya would never spoke to me like this. They even want me to take my father down which I vowed to kill him."

"I have to go to the recreation center alone, Jin. I know for sure, Kazumi would be there to see me." Hunyo said decides to go which surprises Jin.

"You mean you were going to the same place that Rhima and I stayed with you?"

"Yeah... that's when I take upon my retreat and I didn't tell the both of you about this." Hunyo smiled calmly to him.

"About what you said in our conscience? You just said something about me getting a fast recovery from my coma?" Jin said wanted to know about what Hunyo says to him which he admitted.

"It's not a joke of what I said to you in our conscience. Because I was listening up there."

"Seriously?" Jin said in a horrible shock.

"I know you and your father would never understand that because of the devil's blood in your veins. I'm sure your father would even catch me if he can." Hunyo said knowing of their abnormal condition. "I'll tell you before I go there..."

The next morning, Lee sensed something about Hunyo's actions after his return and Rhima came down stairs.

"After all he came back... he was still bothered. I don't know why?"

"Jin also does the same too. He was making fun of my dad yesterday after Ms. Margie shows us the listings."

"He went to that retreat place, Rhima." Jin finally arrives in his casual attire and knowing of her father's plans.

"At the recreation center? Other retreat activities are going to be held sooner...?" Rhima reacted on her father's actions.

"Maybe it's because of my adoptive mother. That's his reason..."

"Rhima, I guess it's better if we need to get through that place. It is just like we were attacked by the DIRGE soldiers back when we stayed here." Jin said wanted to follow Hunyo's trail which Lee decides to come with them.

"I'll assists you two when it comes to drastic measures."

At the recreation center, Hunyo finally arrives in the exact location and he saw the ads knowing that other retreat activities are about to reopened soon as Kazumi arrives to see him.

"I would expect you would be here, Hunyo..."

"..."

"Such a serious expression on your face, I overheard that both your world in ours are connected." Kazumi said as Hunyo becomes mad at her reputation.

"Is it true? That your family possesses the Devil Gene to assassinate their victims undetected. Answer me, Kazumi...!"

"For our millenia, we Hachijous are the ones to kill the person who becomes a greatest threat to the world. And that person was my husband, Heihachi." Kazumi answered his question and Hunyo furiously raises his brow after revealing her reputation.

"I respected human life, Kazumi. I would expect that I was talking to a person who is already dead. Didn't you know how your son, Kazuya had become a monster after he avenged your death? Aren't you guilty for that!?"

"..."

"Kazuya is longing to have revenge against his own father because of you and your evil nature of your family. How long this feud will end? Don't you ever realized that your son had become a monstrosity. I saw him killing his own father with my own two eyes. You only had to blame yourself, Kazumi."

Kazumi was horribly shocked at her son's actions and realizing her plan was succeeded and soon becomes guilty for what she previously had done as well as her husband's downfall and the conflicts he had inflicted on the entire family as she kneels on the ground in regret.

"This is my own fault for folllowing my family's orders... and my own family for causing this chain of hatred and conflict."

Hunyo finally returns her kanzashi back to her which is a surprise to her.

"But this is..."

"You told me to keep this, right. You just removed it before you turned into a devil during that siege. I'm grateful that you keep on saving me. But when I found out your reputation, that's the last time I would talk to you personally." Hunyo said coldly to her while returning her kanzashi back which she takes it.

"Hunyo..." Kazumi cries in regret as she immediately walks away dismissively leaving Hunyo to watch her leave until Kazuya's arrival.

"So you were indeed talking to my dead mother."

"Kazuya... I would expect a devil-like person who definitely responsible for the killing." Hunyo said while facing him. "Honestly, I can't stand a person who commits murder and parricide."

"Hmph... your words are merely a joke. Don't take it personally, I'm doing this was right." Kazuya said while having his arm crossed. "My father Heihachi is indeed killed my mother but I have to finish him off once and for all."

"I already know how you killed him. Because of your vengeance, all you care about is nothing more but power and yourself. I know for sure taking revenge for your mother's death is not an answer. Your son is going to beat the crap outta you for all the misdeeds you have done." Hunyo said angrily mocks Kazuya for his actions.

That insult causes Kazuya to fight him as both fought equally as Hunyo gives him the upperhand by knocking him through the ground with a single punch.

"Damn you..."

"I know the reason why your father didn't tell you about the truth of your mother's betrayal and her family's bloodline. Because your mother is also a devil like you." Hunyo said furiously towards Kazuya as he coldly mocks him. "How does your mother feel if she sees you personally kill innocent people with your own two hands? I know others are going to hunt you down."

"This doesn't concern you! Gwaooohhh!" Kazuya finally charges himself with the Devil Gene as Hunyo tried to block himself and he feels the miasma due to the purple haze within him and Kazuya gains a third eye on his forehead and unleashing the Devil's Beam at him which he dodges the move.

"So this is his demonic power... It's the same as how he unleashed that power to fight off his father when I traveled to their world." Hunyo mumbled and knowing of plan to face him in the recreation center. "Not to worry... it maybe dangerous but this is according to my plan."

On the way to the recreation center, Rhima knows where her father just went off to as both Jin and Lee are with her while riding a provincial bus.

"When did you have an idea to ride a provincial bus? That's our first time to get here." Lee said which Rhima tells him.

"I'm worried about my dad, Lee. This bus can even travel from other towns in every province."

Jin sensed his father's presence and he feels the power from his father's devil powers. He convinces Rhima to stop the bus that they were riding.

"Rhima, you have to tell the bus driver to halt the bus. We're almost there..."

"Okay..."

Back at the recreation center, Hunyo fights off against Kazuya equally. Therefore, Kazuya unleashes his 10-hit combo which Hunyo blocks most of the hits only to be hit by the last move which is the Lightning Uppercut as he almost knocked down as he blocks a straight kick with both of his hands and he hits him through the groin with a right straight thrust, knocking him down.

"Not a bad uppercut..." Hunyo commented of his moves which Kazuya was frustrated to see him smirking from his loss.

"Grr... how can you survive my powerful moves? You're just like Heihachi..."

"You think I'm just like the old bastard, Kazuya." Hunyo said while he continues to mock him for being a bad parent. "It's ashamed that Heihachi treated you so badly because he knows you were inhuman. And now you badly treat to your own son just to extract his powers to him. "

"You maggot... Don't ever dare lecture me! I will finish you up!" Kazuya yelled furiously as he angrily yells to transform into Devil Kazuya which Hunyo sees his current devil form and it was the same as how Heihachi tried to defeat him.

"Hmph... that the same power as how you beat your bastard father of yours. Too bad that Kazumi would even tried to see you desperate to kill anyone else. She maybe a ghost but she regretfully watches us fighting each other." Hunyo said calmly to his appearance making Kazuya gloats at his comments.

"So you really want a death wish, do you? I think this will give you a taste of my medicine..."

"Oh yeah... despite your demonic appearance, you can't put me down for the count. I'm just getting started."

"Fair enough... I will obliterate you!" Kazuya smirked evilly while in his devil form as both Hunyo and Devil Kazuya are ready to fight in a deadly bout.
