Heihatchi peered out of his window. He looked at the plain setting he called his courtyard for so many years ago. He was 10 stories high in his office building. Mishima Dibatsu was the multi-billion dollar company that he owned. It had hosted the official Tekken tournament for years, but as Heihatchi looked out his window, he had an awkward feeling about this year. He didn't know what was bothering him or why, but he couldn't help but fear it. He thought, for some strange reason, this would be his last rain- "Heihatchi! Someone is hear to see you!" His butler called. "Send him in." Heihatchi replied. A figure in baggy pants and a red shirt holding a large staff walked gracefully in to his office. "Hello, my name is Kilik. I am trained in the form of Kung Fu, and I am excellent with my staff. I am a member of the phoenix clan. I wish to fight in your tournament. Is my request granted?" "I see no reason why not. But. you will need to find someone to lend a star chip." Replied Heihatchi. "All right. Then I will report to campgrounds. I will see you again, Heihatchi." "You will call me sir. No, be gone with you." "Good day, sir." Kilik stalked out of the room and shut the door. Heihatchi turned back to the window and forced a grim smile. "Sir? Are you upset?" Asked his butler. "I don't know. Something's going on. I have been thinking. I think it is Lei. He is really suspicious lately. I no we haven't gotten along, but I don't think he would ever try to actually hurt me. Not after I took him in. Do you?" "Well, I don't know, you did kill his father." A hot flash of anger came over Heihatchi. "Shut UP!" He swung around and pinned his butler up against the wall. "Like you said, I have murdered before. You're no different." He pulled a knife out of his pocket and sliced up the shaking man. Kuma will like the taste of fresh meat, thought Heihatchi as he dumped the corpse out of his window. The body flew through the air and hit the ground with a thud. Kuma, his pet grizzly, flocked over to the body. Heihatchi looked away. I have greater worries. What is it that bothers me so much? Lei would never seriously harm me. In fact, I taught him everything he knows. He couldn't kill me. No way. Heihatchi chuckled to himself. "No that that problem is out of the way, I shall go talk with Kuma." He said aloud.

Kilik walked through a beautiful forest as he explored the island that marked the tournament site. As he strolled through, a robot with a sword jumped out of one of the trees. "Kilik!" He hugged the confused human. "Excuse me, have we met?" "It's me Kilik! Yoshimitsu ring a bell?" "Hey! What's with the armor and stuff?" "Doctor B gave me a full upgrade." "Wow! Could this Doctor B give me an upgrade?" "I don't see why not. Come on. We'll go see him."

After traveling for a while, they reached a small graveyard. "This is the scientist's confines?" Asked Kilik. "No, this is." Yoshimitsu walked up to one of the tombstones and pressed his hand into it. It fell into the earth. A few seconds later a huge gap opened in the earth. Yoshimitsu turned to Kilik. "Trust me." He then jumped into the pit. "Oh, brother." Kilik chased after him. As he flew down the hole at breakneck speed, he began to worry about what the landing was like. Just as he started to panic, he splashed into a huge pool of something. He sank quickly, going down about 30 feet. He raced to the surface, not expecting to need to hold his breath. He couldn't rise fast; his lungs were burning. He was surfacing, he could see light. Or was that just that light welcoming him to the realm of his ancestors? He started to give up. Yoshimitsu, you fool! I know you like pranks, but honestly- A hand reached down to pull him to the surface. He thought these were the hands of his ancestors. But they were, in fact, the strong hands of Yoshimitsu. He came up, his lungs screaming for air. "What was the meaning of that?" I almost died!" "Sorry," was all Yoshimitsu could say. "I could make it up to you." Said a voice in the distance. "Who is that? You don't have a star chip, by any chance, do you?" Asked Kilik. "I am Doctor B. Yes, you may have one of my star chips. But what I had in mind was an upgrade. How would you like to become Metal Kilik?"

Law was visiting Julia, his only ally on this island. He turned to her and said: "Every year, King beats me. I have trained harder than ever. I have improved. But King must have also. I won't be able to defeat him so easily. Well, any advice?" "You are strong, Law. You can defeat him. But you fear him, I can tell. It's more than just a match to you, right? Why are you rivals?" "It all started three years ago. I bragged to him about how I was going to wipe the mat with his face. I lost, and he never let me forget about it." "Then go for it again. First round. Besides, you have two Star Chips, you can afford to lose once." "Alright. Tomorrow, King will pay!"

AUTHOR'S NOTES: This is the first of many chapters. It is Tekken, I will eventually add more Soul Caliber characters (KILIK and YOSHIMITSU are both from Soul Caliber, but Yoshi is also from Tekken.) Also, The star chip is an idea from Yu-Gi-Oh. Each person invited received two star chips. When you lose, you give your opponent a star chip. You can't compete without star chips.

UNTIL NEXT TIME.
