Summary: Chapter 3 ended with Jin and Hwoarang beginning their rematch which was beginning to get interrupted by a mystery warrior. And now we continue....

CHAPTER 4: A more dangerous foe.

Hwoarang leapt. Jin leapt. Both kicking out with a foot at the other. In all this commotion, neither of them barely noticed the black shape, diving down at them from the trees, in the same pose as they were, it's read eyes burning like fire!

Jin nearly collided with Hwoarang, when the warrior drove it's foot into the red headed warrior's face, knocking him into a tree. Jin's foot hit nothing, not even the warrior as he landed on the ground and twisted, looking at the scene. It was someone, something in a black cloak, scooping Hwoarang up from the ground.

HWOARANG: "Ugh. You want some too?!"

Jin watched as he threw a punch at the warrior. The warrior grabbed Hwoarang around the arm and drove his foot across the back of his head, then brought it back across his face, flattening him on the ground. Jin's eyes widened as he recognized the technique. 'Mishima-Ryu!' He thought. The warrior ceased it's attack and looked over it's shoulder at Jin, the hood hiding it's face but not it's eyes. They burned like red fire as they watched Jin.

JIN: "Who are you?! Toshin?!"

The figure tossed back it's head chuckling, and spoke. It's voice deep and menacing, and had almost a feint echoe to it.

WARRIOR: "Hahahahaha. You assume too much Kazama. I saved you the trouble of fighting this pitiful fool. Keep note of this, for I assist you now. But you will feel my wrath in the future!"

JIN: "Who are you!? Tell me or face me here!"

The warrior cackled in it's menacing tone and leapt into the air. When it was just the size of a bird to Jin's view he noticed the cloak ripped off and came falling to the ground, as the figure did infact, fly off like a bird. The cloak floated to Jin's feet and he kneeled down to pick the pieces up and looked back up at the sky. The figure was gone, no idea where it went. He looked back ahead of him. The dojo wasn't that far away! He could run there in maybe ten minutes!

XIAOYU: "Jin!"

JIN: "Great..."

Jin turned around to see Xiaoyu running towards him. She stopped infront of him, panting for breath, a hand on his chest. Jin looked at her hand then at her.

JIN: "What do you want?"

XIAOYU: "You beat up Yoshimitsu!"

She said that with a big smile.

JIN: "Yeah? I beat up Julia too..whoopee"

Jin rolled his eyes. Xiaoyu giggled.

XIAOYU: "Ooh and Hwoarang?"

She pointed and Jin looked over his shoulder.

JIN: "No...something else did."

XIAOYU: "Ohhhh what?"

JIN: "I don't know. Are you here to fight me? Or are you gonna leave me alone so I can continue."

XIAOYU: "I don't wanna fight you. But, I'm not gonna let you reach your grandpa before me."

JIN: "Oh really?"

XIAOYU: "Really! Hehe"

LAW: "Hey!"

Xiaoyu turned around and Jin looked up, to see Forest and King running side by side at them.

XIAOYU: "Wow, they look pissed."

JIN: "No shit."

LAW+KING: "AAAAAAARRRGGGHH"

They charged at Jin and Xiaoyu with looks of anger on their faces. Jin narrowed his eyes and grabbed Xiaoyu by the back of her collar and jerked her behind him as he slid forward and swung his leg out, to kick King and Forest away to the side, into two trees.

XIAOYU: "Wow, thanks."

JIN: "You gonna talk, or save your own hide?"

XIAOYU: "Oh right." (nods)

KING: "C'mere, little girl!"

XIAOYU: "Uh-oh"

King lunged forward with a fist, missing Xiaoyu clearly, and instead catching a side kick square in the face. He staggered back and growled, swinging a foot out at her face. Xiaoyu crouched down and snapped her foot out, kicking his other leg from under him, then turned on her hands while he was in the air and drove both of her heels into his back, tossing him up more, then sprung up, going above him a little, and brought her fists together and slammed them into his chest, letting him collide with the floor.

LAW: "Come on! WOOYA!"

Forest threw a wave of martial arts kicks at Jin. Jin groaned in an annoyed tone, dodging each and every one of them. On the final kick, Jin caught it under his arm.

JIN: "You're too clumsy..."

And before Forest could think twice, Jin slapped his left foot across his face several times, then wrapped his other arm around his leg and spun, slamming him right into a tree, letting him fall.

JIN: "Wasting my time.."

He stepped forward and drove his foot into Forest's chest, sending him flying across the ground about two meters. (Like he does in Tekken 4). Snorting, he looked at Xiaoyu and King. She seemed distracted in fighting the professional wrestler. He shrugged and took off, hopping over Forest's fallen body and ran for the dojo with all he had. Nearing it he heard a horrible scream, followed by a monsterous roar.

JIN: (Gasp) "Grandfather!"

Jin reached the doors to the dojo and shoved them open, dashing down the narrow corridor, panting heavily. He came to the open combat room, where the challenger was supposed to face Heihachi. But it wasn't Heihachi he would face.

JIN: "NO!"

The monster, the beast, the murderer, Toshin, Ogre! It held his grandfather by the throat. Heihachi hung limply in it's grasp. It turned to look at Jin. It's fierery red eyes glaring at him. It's green skin added to it's horror. Clad in a golden armor like some old Elite Roman soldier. But Jin was not afraid. His fear had died the day it had killed his mother and set fire to his house. Now he was just filled with rage.

JIN: "Toshin! God Of Fight! You're time is at hand! Face me and pay for your crimes against the Kazama family!"

The creature, snorted and threw the body of Heihachi to the side, and turned to face Jin fully. Jin was filled with anger and hatred towards the monster, and he raised his fists in front of him, and ran at his sworn enemy. His feet slapped against the stone floor like claps of thunder during a storm. Toshin's large chest heaved with it's breaths and it calmly raised it's fists. Jin came closer and dove off the floor, flying at Toshin with a leaping sidekick. The battle had begun, and Jin swore to win it.

The end of Chapter 4. I hope you all like it. Please send me some reviews. Don't think I sincerely hate Hwoarang, by the way lol. I'll make a fanfic focused on him if it helps me prove that. But I'll try to finish the story up in 2 more chapters if not 1. Sorry for it being so short, it's just how my ideas layed out. The next chapter is, Ch5: Survival Of The Fittest.
