*Mishima Headquarters*

"Master everything is going according to plan, with you at our head we will certainly rule the world."

"Yes you are right Heiachi, the world will be owned but only by me and you may never forget that slave!!!"

With that a green glowing hand struck Heiachis face and sent him sprawling. Heiachi got back up with grace and agility that showed his years of persistant training. Though he may be old he was a formidable fighter.

"Ye- yes master you are correct my mistake."

"Fool do you think you are my master? No one owns Heiachi Mishima. When I am done using you your death will be slow and painful." Thought Heiachi to himself while he was leaving Ogre's chamber.

"No you are the one that is a fool Heiachi, you think I do not know of your deceit? Your adopted son was more than willing to offer anything he knew. Your death will be painfully slow," Ogre thought with that he laughed a terrible laugh that sent shivers down the guards back.

"Man I can't wait to get to the Island. First thing I'm doing is calling Morninglight. If it wasn't for her I would have given this up and never continued. Man I hope I win so we can get this dojo money."

"Yea Law I hope so too you-"

"Hey Law I knew it was you, I'm gonna rearrange your face for last year!!"

"wha-"

Before Law could react a fist connected with his face. It really didn't hurt but he was dumbstruck. He looked up and saw a young girl around nineteen dressed up like an indian.

"It was your fault I didn't get to kill Heiachi for my parents deaths. You beat me when I was so close you jerk HIIIIYYYAAH!"

She rose to strike again but this time Law was ready he grabbed her hand and slammed her on her back as soft as he could.

"Heheh your father left you some enemies I see and this is one of the weaker ones though a bit feisty, what's your name cutie?"

"My name is Julia Chang and it's his fault I didn't get to kill Heiachi. Why, why did you have to come again? I hate you for, fo-"

She crumpled to the floor and broke down into tears. She sat on the floor crying and Law sat next to her to comfort her.

"Look, my father was the one that beat last year not me. But anyways you shouldn't let hate consume you, you'll never get to live your life all you'll be able to do is hate and it will destroy everyone around you including yourself."

"You're too nice Law, any ways the ship should get to the Island within th hour so let's go. I ain't gonna miss the first round for this little girl."

Paul got up and walked away toward their room. Julia got up and organized herself and without a word left Law sitting there thinking about all the hate the Mishima family has caused.

"Hey, good luck Julia!" Law called after her futilely "I guess she has a lot on her mind" thought Law.

"Hmmm, so this is the infamous island where everything goes down, nothing I can't handle. I have to be able to handle it, or else I will have come here for nothing. I have to beat Ogre for my master, for David and my friends, and for me."

"Ummm excuse me mister do you know where we are supposed to go? Asked a short Chinese girl.

"Yea, other there to that booth and get registered, they'll give you a number and later they will have the matches posted. What is a pretty girl like you doin here? You could get hur-"

Whummmp!! That was sound made when the girl slammed on his back. Hwoarang looked up in her face in amazement, he never had anticipated an attack like that from her.

"My name is Xiaou and I'll be sure to save a battle for you, oh and by the way never under estimate me."

She then headed toward the booth as Hwoarang stared at her in amazement. Little did he know then but she was a play a part in his journey, a part that could couldn't be played by anyone else.

"Hey kid I saw you get creamed by that girl, man you are always fighting."

Hwoarang got ready to fight if he had but when he looked up he saw Lei's smiling face and relaxed.

"Oh, it's you. Did you register what's your number?"

"I got 41 and that's not even half of the fighters here. Man this year's turn out is humongous! I'm glad I did some extra training before I came here, but I still don't feel ready."

"Yeah, I know what ya mean, so many fighters so much challenge it seems imposssible. But I think if your cause is just you will win. At least I hope so."

"So what is your cause? Is it righteous?"

"My cause is revenge. The person who killed my master is here, I can smell his stench in air. I plan on killing him and anyone who stands in my way."

"And that's a just cause? You must not hate him, only kill him to prevent more deaths not to soothe your own pain because that leads to hate. And hate will eat you alive and leaving for the birds."

"I-I DON"T CARE!!!! Why does everyone think I shouldn't do it out of hate? I will kill him no matter what! I don't care you what you all say!!"

Hwoarang stalked off towards the apartments supplied to the fighters. Lei just stood awestruck at his outburst.

"He must really have a lot to contend with in his head," thought Lei.

"He is here, the one who swore to kill me. Ha ha that fool would never stand a chance of defeating me. I will enjoy ripping his heart out and eating eat."
