Disclaimer: Tekken is Namco's responsibility, So please don't give all the well-earned credit to me! Mikaela and Evy simply are all mine, Even though the others are just fine!

"About three years ago, my father was ill. My mother had already died, and my father was about to join her."
"Oh, I'm very sorry…" Christie sighed.
"It's okay," Mikaela continued. "Anyway, the only close relative that was old enough, but young as well, was my second cousin Nicholas."
"What about your other cousins?" Asked Christie.
"They were all in their 30's. I was their baby cousin, and I loved being the centre of attention." Mikaela looked down. "But they're all gone now. Nick's the only one that can protect me now. After all, he is 10 years older than I am, and I'm still but a teenager. Don't worry, he's not my boyfriend," Mikaela added cautiously, responding to the look on Christie's face. "He's almost like a brother to me now. He promised my mother and father that, if they die, he would protect my brothers and sisters. But now there's no-one to protect…but me." Tears were welling in her eyes. "Why are you here, Christie?" she started to choke back on tears.
Christie put a reassuring arm around her. "I'm looking for a friend, and a very close one, too. He's the one that taught me my fighting style, Capoeira. He was in the third tournament (A/N: I know, I lied…this fic's kind of set in both the third tournament and the 4th…which means the ogre thing is part of tekken 4) but shortly after he disappeared. I think that Heihachi has something to do with his disappearance." Soon the two new friends were cuddling eachother. Soon they became sleepy and started to yawn and drop off.
"Oh!"
Mikaela awoke with a start. "I just remembered, it's the tournament tomorrow and we haven't practiced!"
Christie yawned. "Oh, really?" she said sleepily rubbing her eyes.
"Maybe we could sneak down to the gym?"
"Too tired…"
"That's why I brought some coffee…" Mikaela held up a mug. "You drink?"
"Yeah, but only filtered." She explained, trying not to sound fussy. "Instant coffee's disgusting!"
"Same!" chirped Mike. "Good thing I brought some filters incase there was a coffee machine in our room…it's right over there."
"Really? I never realised it…" Christie yawned again. After they had finished their coffee, they headed down to the gym in their gear.
***********************************************************************************
"Alright, Ling, this time you're going down!" Evelyn and Xiaoyu had been training for hours, and now it was midnight already. Evy pinned her friend against the wall.
"Oh yeah?" Xiaoyu nudged Evy off and they started fighting gently again. Out of breath. They collapsed on the ground, panting and giggling at the same time.
"Wow, what a good fight!" squeaked Xiaoyu.
"Same!" Evy was pleased as well, and even though she was drop-dead tired, she wanted to continue fighting. "But it's getting too late. I think we should go back…Hey! There's Mike and Christie!"
"Hey guys!" Christie was back in her usual energetic mood.
"Hi!" Xiaoyu and Evy waved as the two girls approached them. "We were wondering if you'd come. Everyone else
as been here. Well, most."
"You're been here THAT long!" Mike fussed.
"Well, what are we waiting for? Let's get training!" Christie ran to a punching bag and put her fists up.
"Actually, we were just about to leave!" Evelyn wiped the sweat off her face. "Seeya tomorrow!"
"Bye!" Mike and Christie waved good-bye as Evy and Xiaoyu left.
***********************************************************************************
"Evy! Wait up!" Xiaoyu called to her friend.
"Catch me if you can!"
"Wait! I want you to meet someone!" Evy stopped running. "Xiao, just what do you want NOW?"
"This is Panda," Xiaoyu pointed to her furry friend. "She's going to be participating in the tournament too." Panda waved at Evy.
"Aw, she's ssssoooo cute!" Evy giggled, as she reached down to pat the fluffy black and white bear. "Hey, aren't pandas on the endangered animals list?"
"Yes, they are indeed," Xiaoyu smiled. "Panda was a present from my mentor Wang Jinrey. He liked to train in the forests a lot, so one day he took me to his favourite spot to teach me in a relaxing spot. We heard a noise, and so we went to see what it was and it was Panda. Wang tamed her for me, and now she is the bestest friend I ever had!"
"That was really nice of him!" Evy smiled. "Where is he now?"
Xiaoyu looked down at her feet sadly. "Oh, I'm sorry." Evy sighed.
"Ogre killed a large number of people," Xiaoyu sighed. "But there's nothing we can do about it." Then Xiaoyu put her fist up. "But if there were, then I would do it."
"I heard that Heihachi has invited him to the tournament." Evy explained. "If someone doesn't defeat him, many more talented fighters, like you and I, will all perish underneath his cruel hands. I know it just a trap, but many people such as ourselves see beyond it as a chance for revenge."
"Then that is what I will do. Panda, you and I are going to win this tournament. Then we'll all be happy again!" Xiaoyu stopped. "Except for the fact that Wang, and many others as well, are gone forever."
***********************************************************************************
Christie watched as Mikaela yelled and beat at the punching bag furiously. "Woah, Mike!" she said, as she stopped killing her invisible opponent. "You got a lot o' rage! Still angry at the fact that you got beaten by Hwoarang?" Mikaela stopped immediately to a halt. "He did not beat me!" she yelled. Christie laughed. Mike looked funny when she was boiling over. It was as if steam was coming out of her ears. "It's not FUNNY, okay? He's like, my worst enemy, and you're also saying I LIKE him?!" she leaned against the punching bag. "It doesn't help, you know."
"Um, maybe you just need to calm down!" Christie went over to her. "I was just kidding. I know you're still really upset, but you've just got to get over it. I know exactly how you feel, but you've just got to learn how to contain your anger."
Mikaela sighed. "Maybe you're right," she confessed. "But I still DON'T LIKE Hwoarang. I swear, if you mention his name once more, I'm gonna punch you in the face!"
"Hwoarang Hwoarang Hwoarang!" Christie teased. She knew that Mikaela was expecting this reaction, but she still charged right at her like a bull. They playfully tackled eachother on the ground, before they both agreed that it was time to go back to their room.
"Man, am I tired, or am I just tired?" Christie asked as they made their way to the lift at the hotel.
"I think you're tired." Sighed Mikaela, leaning against the rail.
"Nup, you're wrong!" Christie giggled. "I'm tired!"
"You know what Christie?" Mikaela yawned. "You'll keep on laughing your head off even when you're drop-dead tired until you either fall asleep or just drop dead." She teased.
"Hey that's not very nice!"
"Chill, Chris. It's not like I MEANT it or anything."
"Oh, really now…" Christie blew her fringe up in the air with her bottom lip sticking out. The bell ringed as they
approached their floor. They stood there, frozen as the doors slid open.
***********************************************************************************
"Man, that girl is kinda tough stuff, but she still just can't beat me. After all, I am far too perfect and have a straight record of winnings. Except for that Kazama boy…I can't BELIEVE I actually called for a draw. I would have won! Ah well, at least it's better than LOSING…" Hwoarang tossed around in his bed, complaining.
"Hwoarang, are you STILL talking to yourself?" his room-mate called from the kitchen. "Just get over her. The fight hadn't even finished! I think she would have thrashed you. Plus, girls totally rock!"
"Are you STILL cooking?" Hwoarang yelled back. "Cooking's for old grannies who have nothing else to do but cook, cook, cook. Aaalll day long. And girls are sissies through and through. Boys totally rock. Especially me, of course." Hwoarang showed off. Julia emerged, carrying a saucepan and looking just a leetle tinge angry.
"Are YOU called me a granny?" she said, advancing towards Hwoarang, still holding up the saucepan, ready to strike. Hwoarang just poked out his tongue. She was about to hit him when ding, dong, the doorbell rang.
"Argh!" Julia growled. "I almost HAD HIM this time! Nearly, nearly, nearly!" she went to get the door, while Hwoarang was rolling on his back laughing his head off.
"You know, it's not funny!" she said as she reached the doorhandle and opened the door. "Oh, Xiao, it's just you…come in!"
"Nah, I'm just gonna be a second, I have to tell you something. Well, Panda's sick and I need you to help me find an animal hospital quickly before tomorrow. We couldn't bring Mikaela because she and Christie were asleep.
"Sure, but you didn't have to whisper it." Julia smiled.
"Yes, but Hwoarang…" The two girls looked over at the Korean man, you was still laughing his ass off… XD
"Oh, okay," Julia nodded, grabbing her coat and stepping outside. "Let's go."
"Where the hell are you going now?" Hwoarang stopped laughing.
"Somewhere!" Julia ran off with Xiaoyu and Evy, who was waiting outside.
"I think I saw an animal hospital around here somewhere." Said Julia as she started up her car. "It's around the corner of the tournament. Heihachi must have put it there because he knew animals would be competing. But if it's under the control of the Zaibatsu…we can't really rely on them."
Xiaoyu hugged her pet. "Oh, Panda…" she sniffled.
"We'll have to get into the room, just to make sure," said Evy. "They might be the Tekken Force disguised as vets."
Julia smiled. "We can beat them," she said as she zoomed off to the hospital.
The car arrived at the vet and the three girls, including Panda, walked up to the door and walked in. As Xiaoyu and Evy settled down on the waiting benches, Julia went up to talk to the vet behind it. "Excuse me, but is there anyway we can go into the maternity room? My friend's Panda is very ill, and needs immediate surgery."
The vet looked closely at Julia. "Have I seen you anywhere before?"
Julia became impatient. "Yes, that's why I don't go there anymore."
"No, I mean…aren't you participating in the tournament? You, your friends overt here and the Panda?"
Julia didn't know what to say. "Uh, of course not! We can barely fight. You must be mistaking us for some other people."
The vet leaned closer. "Your name?"
"U, I have a name. My name is…Elizabeth Manhope."
"Well then, Elizabeth. There is no need to cover up, for I already know your name is Julia Chang. And no, you may not come into the surgery room unless you are authorised to do so, but you are just a customer."
"And the customer is always right!"
"Just sit down, Miss Chang, and wait until your name is called."
"But I can't wait!" Julia was feeling a little sorry for Panda right now. "Panda's going to be fighting in the tournament, which starts in only 10 hours! Please, just let us in!"
"Fine then, but you must stay right here."
"Thank you. Goodbye." Julia stormed off and put her head in her hands. "I'm sorry Xiao. Some people are just so stubborn."
"Sheesh, you can say that again, Julia." Evy mocked. Julia looked at her. "I was just kidding!"
"It's alright, Jules," Xiaoyu turned back to her friend. "Let's get Panda inside now."
"What! Are you serious, leaving this poor, innocent Panda in the hands of Heihachi Mishima!" Evy debated.
"You know, maybe you're right," Xiaoyu turned back to Evy. "I heard Mikaela's studying to be a doctor. She must know a bit."
"No, Xiao, this is the best we can do," Julia said. "If we sense trouble coming, we'll just barge in, right through that
door. Well, let's go!"

Well guys, that was chappie four! I know it's short, but a little longer than the others. I'm sorry I hadn't updated for a little while, I've been on holidays. I've decided that I'm going to write a Part Two of this story, based on the story plot of Tekken Four. I've already got some great ideas that I've jotted down, and I can't wait to get started! I PROMISE, it'll be a lot better than this one, since the current story plot here is a bit lousy. But in Revenge 2: The Missing Link (that's what I'm going to call it) there's a lot more horror, action, suspense, humour, mystery, and romance. But all this is only going to come if get more reviews. I really wanted this story to be big, but it's gone a little downhill. Oh, and thanks to the people who reviewed this and my other stories. You guys have really helped! ^-^ Keep those good reviews comin'!
