" I GUESS I AM WATER PROOF.", said Gun Jack at the bottom of the ocean.
Hwoarang managed to grab a hold of a chair, Jin swam over to the chair that Hwoarang was on since it was the closest and tried to get on," Go away Jin! You said you could swim!"
" I can but paddling is easier! Now let me on!", Jin protested, Kazuya saw the whole thing and rolled his eyes," How dumb.", he muttered.
Heiachi then just remembered something," Hey Kazuya. I don't remember you knowing how to swim."
" What?!", Kazuya immediately began to sink.
" Oh shut up Dad!", Lee shouted," He knows how to swim! You just never paid enough attention to him when he was a kid!", Kazuya began to float.
" Nooo, ", Heiachi put his thumb and forefinger to his chin in deep thought," I was pretty sure he didn't know how to swim.", Kazuya began to sink again.
Nina interrupted the conversation," You're wrong Heiachi, He knows how to swim. I remember the time I tried to kill him in this hotel with a bomb and we fell into the port just outside it, he knew how to swim."
" Then tell me this sister, How come you remember? You have amnesia!", Anna said in a suspicious tone.
" I have diaries Anna. I have diaries.", Nina replied.
" How come I never found them?"
" I can hide them really well. Would you ever think to find one in a zip lock baggy in the toilet's water tank?"
" Ewwwwww!"
" Exactly!"
Forrest observed the water for a while," Hey, we don't have to do anything! The current will take us to the island, see?", he was right, the current was taking them toward that strange island. They just floated closer and closer until they were about 200 feet of the island, suddenly Jin and Hwoarang's chair capsizes, there was a loud splash, seconds later Jin came up for air but Hwoarang didn't. Everyone else was already on shore. That's when Jin felt a tugging on his leg, he dove back under the surf and pulled up Hwoarang, Hwoarang gasped for air and clung on to Jin's foot tightly, Jin had to drag him ashore, soaking wet and cold, Hwoarang appeared to be unconscious.
" What do we do now?", asked Marshall, he was clueless.
Anna," Does ANYONE know CPR?"
Lei looked at Xiaoyu," I know who does."
" Now way! Come on! Someone else has to know it! I can't do that on, Hwoarang!", Xiaoyu objected, Lei had a look of disappointment on his face, then Xiaoyu looked at Hwoarang's unconscious body," . . . .fine. But I'm only doing it because it's the right thing! Not because I secretly deep down actually like him or something!", that was total give away, poor Xiaoyu, everyone looked at her expectantly and she turned red out of embarrassment. She was about to do the CPR when suddenly Hwoarang hacked up a whole bunch of water and sat up on his own," , dude! Where are we?.
. . . . . . AH-AAH--CHOO!!"
" Wow, Xiaoyu, you're good!", Paul said, no one could tell if he was being stupid or making a joke, so there was a brief moment of silence.
Kazuya ," Where is this place?", he looked around at the scenery
Heiachi," You don't remember that either? This is where ' The King of the Iron Fist Tournament 2' was held!", all the old school shuddered.
Lee," Not this god awful place!", he seemed paranoid.
Kazuya," It does feel a little familiar, but other than this feeling I don't know anything about this place."
Jun held on to Kazuya's strong arm," This is where we fought together in the second tournament. . . it was so scary, so exciting, so romantic!", she cuddled her soft cheek on his shoulder.
" I wish I could remember.", He looked at the ground trying his hardest to remember but couldn't," No use, all there was, was a complete blank.", Kazuya felt angry at himself because he couldn't recall any of it. But he soon forgot about his anger, he was with Jun and that's all he cared about for the time being.
Heiachi was irritated at his son's absent mindedness but only had himself to blame, he was the one that thoroughly soaped the bath tub floor so Kazuya could fall and hit his head, but then again, if Kazuya hadn't used that 'put that bucket of water above the door' trick he wouldn't of done that!
So essentially Heiachi twisted the thing around in his head so he couldn't blame himself," Maybe I should throw him back in the volcano again, that might help", he muttered to himself.
" Shouldn't we setup camp or someth'n?", Paul said as he scratched his head which was completely devoid of any thoughts except women, beer, motorcycles and beer.
" We need to get some saplins and leaves to make us a hutch of some kind!", deduced Nina, Eddy climbed some palm trees to get the leaves, who knows, he might just hit Heiachi on the head with on of those coconuts! This would come to his advantage if Heiachi should decide to retaliate.
Kazuya, Jin and Heiachi all went out to get the saplings since this was going to be harder to do, especially without any cutting tools, Heiachi started going into his training stance and started doing warm up kicks knocking down the saplings.
Kazuya was picking them up," Hey that's good, just a couple more."
" Is it necessary to kick them that hard to knock 'em over Grandpa?", Jin asked out of curiosity.
" Hi-YAA!, kIYAAaa! YAAA!!, no, but this a good training exercise, watch this!", Heiachi walked over to an old growth tree about 50 meters in diameter, and cracked his knuckles, he then, with great precision, kicked the trees base with all his might," WHHHOOO YAAAA!!!", they all waited a couple of moments and nothing happened.
" Yeah Grandpa, whatever.", said Jin breaking the silence, Kazuya helped ag it on by clapping and said," Great trick dad, you attacked a defenseless tree--", just then there was an ear deafening crack, the base of the tree splits and begins to fall over,. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . on the opposite side of the tree the others are building a hutch!
Paul," Oh no! The tree's fall'n! Run!", they all scrambled out of the way and saw the tree fall on top of the hutch they just spent 3 hours on!
Paul was pissed and was hissing," Who ever did this is gonna get their Ass kicked in!!"
On the other side of the tree Jin walked away whistling," I see nothing.", Kazuya was just as equally not to blame," Damn dad! You suck big wind!"
Heiachi had no idea as usual, he didn't even notice the mob of angry Tekkeners behind him, he was only thinking about his technique," What do you mean? That was a ~perfectly~ executed kick!"
" Dad, you knocked over the hut!", Kazuya answered sharply.
Heiachi turns around him to look behind him and turns back to Kazuya," What hut? I don't see one."
" That's because you demolished it you idiot!", insulted Kazuya, he was red in the face.
" I dunno what you are rambling about, maybe we should of took you to the doctor after you hit your head like Jun said. . . . . . . . So apparently I've knocked your ~imaginary~ hut down with that tree, Well 'I' have an ~imaginary~ contractor and he'll build you a new hut. . . . . . . . . . for a price."
Kazuya was enraged," . . . . . That isn't funny! It's stupid!!"
Heiachi put a hand to his ear like he heard something in the distance," Did I hear something about your ~mother~? What brought HER up?", Kazuya couldn't stand being around Heiachi anymore and screamed," I CAN'T STAND YOU!", and he ran off into the darkness of the jungle, Heiachi looked at Jin, who hasn't quiet left yet," Jin? What do you suppose made him do that?"
Jin crossed his arms," tch, gee I dunno. ( How embarrassing. . . I wonder what Dad will do? . . . )", a voice rumbled in Jin's
head, you'll know it better as the devil.
Devil," Kill him! KILL HIM!!"
Jin," ( Yeah, he'll probably try)"
" NO! You KILL him!"
" (Sorry, not today)"
" Damn! At least when I possessed you father, he would listen to me! Tch!"
" ( To bad.)"
" I think I'll lay low for a while, and possess you at a really bad time."
" ( That's not new, you ALWAYS do that!)"
" That Heiachi is really pissing me off! . . . Him and his ramblings. I can't believe I possessed that ol' codger at one time! Ack!"
" (That's one thing we can agree on. Well nice talking to ya, I think I have to knock some sense into my Grandpa now. See ya Devil.)"
Devil," I'm not leaving yet, I want to see this!"
Jin,"( Just don't possess me in your excitement!)"
Devil," I'll try.", Jin could hear Heiachi's voice in the background again.
Heiachi," Jin, I sometimes wonder about your dad, he's sooo . . . .I feel like PORKCHOPS!"
Jin was appalled, Heiachi must of drank some of that sea water. The ravingmob of Tekkeners came closer and ambushed the old man,tried him down with some vines, and Paul took a near by sharp stick swinging it around resembling a cave man and put it near Heiachi's throat," What should we do ta 'em first?", he growled,
Paul got a whiff of Heiachi's breath and backed away still holding the stick to his throat. Everyone's eyes gleamed just like Eddy's did at the airport, they all had their own idea of what to do to him, they all grinned ruthlessly in unison.
" We should make him cook since he destroyed my restaurant!", Marshall said.
" But you don't have a restaurant!", Heiachi insisted.
" Not now.", Marshall grumbled.
" So apparently I've destroyed your ~imaginary~ restaurant. Well 'I' have an ~imaginary~ contractor and--", Heiachi began, he was rudely interrupted by Marshall.
Marshall," We've heard this before! We're not as innocent as Kazuya!"
Anna," But I thought Kazuya destroyed your restaurant!"
Marshall," He did.", question marks rose above all their and before they could ask anything Marshall said," You see-- I had two restaurants! Heiachi blew up the first and Kazuya sent his thugs to demolish my second!"
A resounding," Oh", was heard from the team.
Nina ," Oh come on! We can do MUCH worse! "
" Besides, he'd try to poison us all!", said Forrest with rising suspicion, all of them went into deep thought to think of something better to do with him. By this time Jin came back, he wanted to help too.
That bastard Grandpa of his was gonna pay! Jin was the first to think of something," How about we tie him to a pole--", everyone attention was directed toward him," Then we all get some REALLY big . . pointy sticks--", everybody smiled,"-- and whack the shit out of him.", everyone frowned thinking that was the end of Jin's plan but he went on and everyone's faces lit up again," After that we get all the flammable material we can find and put it at the base of the pole and sacrifice him to the Gods by throwing HIM down a volcano, and if he lives through that I'll be damned, but that don't matter because I all ready am.", Jin finished and the group murmured things to each other saying what a wonderful idea Jin had. Jin had one more thing to say however," To top it all off we'll put a apple in his mouth!", Just then Jun came by and slapped Jin across the face!
" What is wrong with you child!", Jun exclaimed ," I've raised you better than that!", with those words everyone lowered their heads, they knew this wasn't going to happen and were disappointed.
" I-I . . . . I don't know", Jin said quietly, this was the first time his mother had ever stuck him and he was pretty much in shock. He looked small now compared to when he was saying his idea," . . . .I don't know. . . . . . .", Jin appeared frightened and ran away into the jungle.
" Jin, you're such a whimp", said Heiachi. Paul with sudden realization that he still had th sharp stick in his hand began to poke at Heiachi.
" Jun, can we at least poke 'em?", Paul asked stupidly, Jun flung around with a fire in her eyes that they've never seen before,"
"No!"
" See that ravine over there?", everybody nodded, they thought they were going to have to throw Heiachi down there but Jun's response was contrary to their thinking," Instead, we'll lower him in there and leave him by himself for a while,-- I call it a time out.", well that was better than doing nothing to him thought the bunch and they lowered Heiachi down the ravine.
It was getting dark, it was around [ 8:00PM ], And they still didn't have a shelter. Heiachi had held them back several hours since he demolished the hutch.
Eddy had started a fire. He was becoming a really good woodsman, he had too. Being in prison had taught Eddy alot of things. How to make a fire with a can of hair spray and a spark. Yes the can of hair spray was one of the few things that floated to shore. Their wasn't much to eat, the old man Heiachi wasn't around to give any advice to what was or wasn't edible so they resorted to seaweed, coconuts and bananas.
Lee Chaolin pierced some bananas with a stick and was roasting the bananas over the fire," I can't believe our luck!", he said as he sat in the ass freezing wet sand. Anna cozied up to him trying to get some warmth but no avail he was colder that she was.
Eddy was sitting on a log whittling a piece of drift wood with his knife. . . Whittling?! They all realized he had a knife!
" Hey! How come didn't tell us you had a knife?", Lei said angrily," We could of used that and had us a hut by now!"
Julia, " Yeah! What gives!"
Bryan," Why didn't you tell us?!", he frowned with everyone else. Frowning seemed to be his forte.
Eddy looked up from his whittling," Well, you guys never asked mon!"
Jun was sitting on a log too, she was worried sick about Kazuya and Jin," Why did I have to smack him?", she asked over and over in her head. There was something about this island that was unsettling to her, she felt the same way the last time she was here. Something about this place wasn't right,. . . was it that, that made her lose control and slap her son? or was it something else? Whatever it was--Jun didn't have the answer.
Hwoarang was sitting next to Xiaoyu, he didn't really care who he was around anymore. They were ship wrecked and now he began to wish he stayed home with the flu and shivered with his arms wrapped around him ,sneezing every now and then," . . . I want to go hom-AH-CHOO! . . . . . my head. . . ", the once proud and strong Korean was now reduced to a sniveling whiner. This may not have been so traumatic if he wasn't sick.
Xiaoyu was exhausted from the whole experience and fell fast asleep leaning on his shoulder, Hwoarang didn't care, he was too busy thinking about the misery he was in.
Nina was on the look out from something but no one knew what, She had this feeling about this place that was indescribable. She felt as if something can happen at any time. Michelle felt the exact same way. The food roasted and finally got done, Everyone was about to engorge themselves in it since hunting for saplings and leaves to build a hut and getting it all knocked down at once built up an appetite.
Jun stood up and stopping everybody in their tracks," We should have a prayer.", they nodded and Jun began," Thank you God, for all this food, for giving us the strength to be able to get to this island. . . . Thank you for bringing us here to test in our faith and abilities--Would anyone else like to add anything?"
They all just looked down, none of them seemed overly religious, and there was a moment of silence," I will.", said a voice. It was Eddy, he stood up with his head lowered," Dear God, I know I haven't been to good lately, but thank you for getting me out of prison. Thank you for my lawyer who proved my innocence and most all thank you for Paul.--", everyone looked puzzled and they glanced at Paul.
" Um,. . thanks, . . . I thinks", Paul said scratching his head from being equally dumbfounded.
Eddy went on," It weren't for Paul and his excessive use of hair spray, we wouldn't have a fire right now and I thank you for that mon, In Jesus name-Amen.",
Eddy finished beautifully, however someone couldn't see the beauty in that, namely, Paul.
" What was that supposed ta be? A horrible joke?!", Paul groaned.
" Mon, I don't think your jokes are that funny and ah don't complain.", Eddy answered, Paul almost went for the kill except
Marshall and Forrest stopped him again.
Michelle," I'm getting worried about Kazuya. He hasn't came back yet."
" I know.", said Jun, unexpectedly the ferns and leaves began to rustle. They all froze in place, Lee Chaolin almost screamed like a girl but remembered that Anna was next to him. They held on to each other tightly.
" I-I. . I have a gun!", Lei stammered, he stood up with his gun with drawn," D-don't come any closer or I'll s,s,shoot!", Lei unsteadily held his gun and the leaves continued to rustle.
" It must be an animal!", Bryan blurted out," Shoot it! We might have some food!"
Lei, undone the safety and pulled the trigger but nothing happened!," Crap! The barrel must be wet! We're screwed now!", at the same time Lei said that what ever it was came out of the bushes with it's hands up.
It was Kazuya!
" DON'T SHOOT!. . oh, I guess you're not going to after all.", Kazuya put down his hands in relief, Lei was still messing with his gun and getting distraught at the fact his gun wasn't working and was screwing around with it as a desperate attempt to get it to work again," Come ON! WORK!! DARN IT, WOR-- *BANG* --uh-oh. . . ", that's last thing you want to hear after a gun shot.
Kazuya clinched his arm tightly,". . . . you bastard!, I said don't s-shoot. . . ARGH!!", Jun ran up to him.
" Kazuya! Are you alright?!!", Jun asked. " What does it look --ungh--like?! He blasted away my arm! He should be
banned from that thing!", Jun tried to get a look at Kazuya's arm. She tenderly took his hand and moved out of the way to see," Oh my, That looks pretty deep!", she tore a large piece off her skirt and snugly wrapped it around his arm keeping pressure on it and lead him to the fire. She sat him down and tended to his wounds.
After things calmed down a bit Jun asked Kazuya," Have you seen Jin?"
" No, Why?", Kazuya asked in turn.
" Well, after Heiachi knocked over the hutch we were trying to find a punishment for him. Jin. . . . he got a little carried away and. . . . well I. . I got a little carried away too and slapped him. He ran away into the jungle and we haven't seen him since! I don't know what to do!", Jun began to cry on Kazuya's shoulder. He wrapped his good arm around her, " He'll come back.", Kazuya told her trying to give some comfort," He'll come back. . ."
" Poor Jin.", Julia sighed to herself.
" I GUESS I AM WATER PROOF.", said Gun Jack at the bottom of the ocean.
Hwoarang managed to grab a hold of a chair, Jin swam over to the chair that Hwoarang was on since it was the closest and tried to get on," Go away Jin! You said you could swim!"
" I can but paddling is easier! Now let me on!", Jin protested, Kazuya saw the whole thing and rolled his eyes," How dumb.", he muttered.
Heiachi then just remembered something," Hey Kazuya. I don't remember you knowing how to swim."
" What?!", Kazuya immediately began to sink.
" Oh shut up Dad!", Lee shouted," He knows how to swim! You just never paid enough attention to him when he was a kid!", Kazuya began to float.
" Nooo, ", Heiachi put his thumb and forefinger to his chin in deep thought," I was pretty sure he didn't know how to swim.", Kazuya began to sink again.

" What do we do now?", asked Marshall, he was clueless.
Anna," Does ANYONE know CPR?"
Lei looked at Xiaoyu," I know who does."
" Now way! Come on! Someone else has to know it! I can't do that on, Hwoarang!", Xiaoyu objected, Lei had a look of disappointment on his face, then Xiaoyu looked at Hwoarang's unconscious body," . . . .fine. But I'm only doing it because it's the right thing! Not because I secretly deep down actually like him or something!", that was total give away, poor Xiaoyu, everyone looked at her expectantly and she turned red out of embarrassment. She was about to do the CPR when suddenly Hwoarang hacked up a whole bunch of water and sat up on his own," , dude! Where are we?.
. . . . . . AH-AAH--CHOO!!"
" Wow, Xiaoyu, you're good!", Paul said, no one could tell if he was being stupid or making a joke, so there was a brief moment of silence.
Kazuya ," Where is this place?", he looked around at the scenery

Jin," ( Yeah, he'll probably try)"
" NO! You KILL him!"
" (Sorry, not today)"
" Damn! At least when I possessed you father, he would listen to me! Tch!"

" Hey! How come didn't tell us you had a knife?", Lei said angrily," We could of used that and had us a hut by now!"
Julia, " Yeah! What gives!"
Bryan," Why didn't you tell us?!", he frowned with everyone else. Frowning seemed to be his forte.
Eddy looked up from his whittling," Well, you guys never asked mon!"
Jun was sitting on a log too, she was worried sick about Kazuya and Jin," Why did I have to smack him?", she asked over and over in her head. There was something about this island that was unsettling to her, she felt the same way the last time she was here. Something about this place wasn't right,. . . was it that, that made her lose control and slap her son? or was it something else? Whatever it was--Jun didn't have the answer.
Hwoarang was sitting next to Xiaoyu, he didn't really care who he was around anymore. They were ship wrecked and now he began to wish he stayed home with the flu and shivered with his arms wrapped around him ,sneezing every now and then," . . . I want to go hom-AH-CHOO! . . . . . my head. . . ", the once proud and strong Korean was now reduced to a sniveling whiner. This may not have been so traumatic if he wasn't sick.
Xiaoyu was exhausted from the whole experience and fell fast asleep leaning on his shoulder, Hwoarang didn't care, he was too busy thinking about the misery he was in.
Nina was on the look out from something but no one knew what, She had this feeling about this place that was indescribable. She felt as if something can happen at any time. Michelle felt the exact same way. The food roasted and finally got done, Everyone was about to engorge themselves in it since hunting for saplings and leaves to build a hut and getting it all knocked down at once built up an appetite.
Jun stood up and stopping everybody in their tracks," We should have a prayer.", they nodded and Jun began," Thank you God, for all this food, for giving us the strength to be able to get to this island. . . . Thank you for bringing us here to test in our faith and abilities--Would anyone else like to add anything?"
They all just looked down, none of them seemed overly religious, and there was a moment of silence," I will.", said a voice. It was Eddy, he stood up with his head lowered," Dear God, I know I haven't been to good lately, but thank you for getting me out of prison. Thank you for my lawyer who proved my innocence and most all thank you for Paul.--", everyone looked puzzled and they glanced at Paul.
" Um,. . thanks, . . . I thinks", Paul said scratching his head from being equally dumbfounded.
Eddy went on," It weren't for Paul and his excessive use of hair spray, we wouldn't have a fire right now and I thank you for that mon, In Jesus name-Amen.",
Eddy finished beautifully, however someone couldn't see the beauty in that, namely, Paul.
" What was that supposed ta be? A horrible joke?!", Paul groaned.
" Mon, I don't think your jokes are that funny and ah don't complain.", Eddy answered, Paul almost went for the kill except
Marshall and Forrest stopped him again.
Michelle," I'm getting worried about Kazuya. He hasn't came back yet."
" I know.", said Jun, unexpectedly the ferns and leaves began to rustle. They all froze in place, Lee Chaolin almost screamed like a girl but remembered that Anna was next to him. They held on to each other tightly.
" I-I. . I have a gun!", Lei stammered, he stood up with his gun with drawn," D-don't come any closer or I'll s,s,shoot!", Lei unsteadily held his gun and the leaves continued to rustle.
" It must be an animal!", Bryan blurted out," Shoot it! We might have some food!"
Lei, undone the safety and pulled the trigger but nothing happened!," Crap! The barrel must be wet! We're screwed now!", at the same time Lei said that what ever it was came out of the bushes with it's hands up.
It was Kazuya!
" DON'T SHOOT!. . oh, I guess you're not going to after all.", Kazuya put down his hands in relief, Lei was still messing with his gun and getting distraught at the fact his gun wasn't working and was screwing around with it as a desperate attempt to get it to work again," Come ON! WORK!! DARN IT, WOR-- *BANG* --uh-oh. . . ", that's last thing you want to hear after a gun shot.
Kazuya clinched his arm tightly,". . . . you bastard!, I said don't s-shoot. . . ARGH!!", Jun ran up to him.
" Kazuya! Are you alright?!!", Jun asked. " What does it look --ungh--like?! He blasted away my arm! He should be
banned from that thing!", Jun tried to get a look at Kazuya's arm. She tenderly took his hand and moved out of the way to see," Oh my, That looks pretty deep!", she tore a large piece off her skirt and snugly wrapped it around his arm keeping pressure on it and lead him to the fire. She sat him down and tended to his wounds.
After things calmed down a bit Jun asked Kazuya," Have you seen Jin?"
" No, Why?", Kazuya asked in turn.
" Well, after Heiachi knocked over the hutch we were trying to find a punishment for him. Jin. . . . he got a little carried away and. . . . well I. . I got a little carried away too and slapped him. He ran away into the jungle and we haven't seen him since! I don't know what to do!", Jun began to cry on Kazuya's shoulder. He wrapped his good arm around her, " He'll come back.", Kazuya told her trying to give some comfort," He'll come back. . ."
" Poor Jin.", Julia sighed to herself.
