(a/n): Some of you asked me if Jin died. No he didn't. He is a devil. He's half-dead. A devil can't die unless someone finishes him off like Heihachi finished Kazuya in Tekken 2. Well this chapter is a little bit interesting. You are going to ask a lot of questions after this. Well enjoy! ^_^
Chapter 6
The Fighter's Journey
Heihachi was looking through the camera's he set up in the Winger. He heard Nina Williams' voice. "He's in. He's out on the dock." Heihachi smiled. Eden was on an open area where he could see him from a satellite if he wanted to.
But why look through a satellite when he can just look in a camera? The screen flickered and he saw a man in a black hood. He seemed to be talking to a young woman. She seems to be arguing with him. Heihachi was amused so he turned on the volume.
"What are you doing here? Are you crazy?" He heard Eden say.
"I'm entering the tournament and no I'm not crazy."
"You don't even listen to your mother? She's probably worried about you."
"I had no choice!" She looked away from Eden. "I will reforest my home."
"Ugh. Is that all you ever think about? The most important thing is not the land, Jennifer. It's your family." Eden turned her by the shoulders and looked into her eyes. "And I suppose your mother told you that?" She freed herself from his grip and walked away inside the cabin.
Heihachi heard Eden say something in a low voice, "Yes. She did." Heihachi wanted to burst into laughter. He cannot believe how naïve this boy is. How honest and gentle he is. He is just like Jin, who doesn't have a clue that the world is evil.
"Send my men into dock 7 and be ready to capture this young man." He gave the captain a picture. "Do not fail me or you will regret it." The captain bowed and walked away.
I can't believe this! Some people are just so…Ugh. What do I know? Eden thought as he was left there alone out on the dock. He sighed. And leaded on the railing looking out beyond into the horizon. Fresh breeze blew through his black silky hair and he took a breath of the fresh air. Soon, very soon he'll meet Heihachi. Eden does not know if he will defeat Heihachi but he will do his best. If he won't defeat Heihachi, he won't let Heihachi defeat him.
"You are uncertain." Eden turned and saw the same woman in the brown cape. "Who are you?" He asked in a mystified voice. "Neither an enemy nor a friend." She turned to him but he still could not make out her face. IT was still covered with the hood and shadow covered her uncovered face. "I wish I could talk to you but right now is not a good time." She tugged at her hood with her right hand and covered her face more. "Be careful, though. A trap waits at the end of this voyage. If you avoid getting captured we will talk again. Remember don't use force. Use your head and you shall get away. That is all for now. I trust you that everything will go smoothly." On that note she started to walk into the cabin. "Wait! How will I find you?" He asked her. She stopped in her tracks but did not run around. "No need to. When the time comes I will find you myself." She said without turning and opened the door and went through and the door closed behind her. Eden was left with more questions and confusion.
The ship went by a lot of Islands, meaning it was nearing Japan. Eden was left in thought and the trip went by fast, a little too fast. Eden could hear the ship docking and decided to go in the cabin. He still thought about what the woman had said to him, about there being a trap at the end of this trip. He didn't know if he should exit or not, he was uncertain.
"Welcome to Tokyo, Japan." A voice over the speakers said. "Those who are entering the King Of Iron Fist Tournament please depart now." Eden walked through the cabin and he could see guy dressed in black skin-suits through the window. Eden froze in place. Those were the same people that attacked his home! One of them seemed to notice him by pointing a finger at him and screamed something in Japanese that sounded like "There he is!"
"Shit, shit, shit!" Eden ran towards the dock again and started to go up the ladder. When he was going up he noticed a lens between the railings as it passed his eyelevel. He stared at it and realized it was a camera. Eden's eyes widened and he started to climb faster.
He came upon a roof and heard the people kick the door open and started to scream out orders in Japanese. Eden didn't understand all of it though. Since Eden was born in Australia, he was only perfect in English because of his friends he hanged around with. He knows a little Chinese and Japanese but not all the words.
He ran quietly across the roof and then heard people climbing up the ladder. Oh great! Now what? Eden looked down on the left side of the roof and saw water. Should I jump??? "There he is!" One of the soldiers shouted in Japanese again and shot his weapon. A dart of some sort hit his left arm. Eden quickly pulled it out began to feel dizzy.
Now it was dangerous to drop into the water because he might lose conciseness. That dart seemed to be a tranquilizer and might put him into sleep in minutes. Depends how strong his immune system is.
He ran forward, away from the soldiers, and jumped high into the air and dived into the pool below. He swam under the water blowing his air out slowly. He swam up to the edge and grabbed it as he got out of the water. He was dripping and cold breeze blew across his wet body making him chill. Eden shivered but opened the door right in front of him and appeared in a white hallway.
He made his way through and a door was at the end of the corridor. Eden turned the knob and pushed the door but it wouldn't open. He heard people cursing at each other and Eden slammed against the door but it still didn't budge. Come on demit! Eden slammed into the door once, twice and finally it started to give a little. "Yes. Just a little more." Eden took a few steps back and ran into the wall making it fall towards the ground.
Eden looked at his surrounding and he was yet on another dock, in other words a dead end. "Holy Shit!" Eden turned around and saw no one coming after him. There was also silence. Eden could hear the waves crash against the harbor he needs to exit through, but he can't. Eden breathed slower and gathered his strength again. But just than a shadow was seen against the far back wall of the corridor. Eden knew right away someone was coming to get him.
Eden got into his fight style, ready to dodge to any direction if the person will shoot or ready for a fight if the man is a fighter. Eden wet his lips, realizing their dry again and wiped of the sweat from his brow.
A man in a black gentleman's suit with white stripes could be seen. Gel held his hair back and he had one sleek bang coming from his right side that nearly touched his eye that was covered by dark sunglasses. As the man came closer Eden could feel an evil presence. He felt more and more uncomfortable, he can't believe his thinking this but he thinks this man is pure evil. Eden spotted a grin on his white face as he stood in the doorway.
"Well, well, well. The son of Jin Kazama." He said in a deadly voice. "Let's see what he has taught you. If you win, you get a chance to escape, if you lose, well…you die." His voice shattered in Eden's ear. Eden didn't say a word. He was just standing there in his pose ready to defend himself. "I am Gillis. I am the Ogre and I am the Devil, a supreme being that has never existed before. Fight me and I shall be the judge of your life." The man went into his fighting position, which was sort of like his father's but the hands were too far apart. One was at his chest and other one seemed to be extended a little.
Eden stepped back a little, he never likes to fight too close to an opponent that he never fought against before. The man grinned again and started to advance him. Eden jumped around a little but noticed this 'Gillis' jumped around as well. Eden decided to use his trick punch. Eden threw out his right punch, which the man blocked. When the punch had passed Eden turned his back and made a left back fist, which Gillis also blocked. Eden turned his body right and was about to give him a right back fist but instead of performing the punch Eden made a back spin right kick that hit him in the mid.
It seemed to work and the man arched over and Eden drove in his elbow from the top but missed. Gillis recovered his time too quickly and followed up with right hook punch that hit Eden in the head. Eden squinted at the pain and felt a knee driven in his ribs. Eden cried out in pain. The force was too hard. It felt almost inhuman. Eden was but left uppercut and Eden flew over the railing and he grabbed one of the polls. Eden looked down and his vision doubled as he saw dark blue water. Dark usually meant deep.
Eden looked up again and saw the man standing right above him, smiling. "Remember don't use force. Use your head and you shall get away." Eden remembered what had that strange woman say to him. Eden nodded at thought and decided to do as she said.
Eden pulled his body up and slipped his legs through the railings so the man would fall over the fence as well. It worked and he doubled over and fell but he managed to grab the fence as well. Eden put his feet against the wall of the ship and pushed himself and made a summersault while still holding on to the railing and landed on his feet.
Eden looked back and saw the man pushing himself up. Eden wasn't a cruel person but he knows if he wants to survive in this world, he needs to be that person. Because if he won't, he can get hurt by this world so much and that scars will never fade. He didn't want to be the person that will get lost in here. He wanted to be the person that is in control of his own life. Eden came up to the railing and looked at Gillis who was pushing himself up.
Eden closed his eyes and stepped on the man's hands so hard that he heard the man scream. When Eden opened his eyes the man wasn't there anymore. Eden sighed and thought it was all over. He turned around to face the corridor and walked towards it. Just than he heard water splash all around and a devil's scream. Eden whipped his head around and saw Gillis in the air. But his business cloths are ripped, he had black dark wings attached to his back and a red glow of blood in his eyes.
Eden stared in horror as he saw the demon spin in the air and than spread his giant wings. Gillis stared at him deadly and raised his right-clawed hand and Eden felt something push him hard against the cabin's walls. The devil seemed to move his right hand left and Eden was hit into the railing but Eden didn't fall over since he was crouched. Pain went through his body and he felt anger inside of him breaking lose but Eden controlled.
Gillis squeezed his fingers into a wrist and Eden felt his breath taking from him. Eden chocked as he tried to gasp for air but the more he tried the faster he ran out of it. Blood started to come out of his nose and mouth. Eden felt like he's going to die. "Hahaha. You are a weak devil, Eden. You can't even fight your own kind." Eden stared at Gillis asking for mercy. The pain was to deep, to harsh to strong. Eden can't fight it anymore. He was slipping into darkness little by little. The tranquilizer also worked against him.
Eden's ears were crashed as he heard the Devil shriek and he also felt the pain is losing its grip and Eden could take in the air little by little. He looked up at Gillis and saw his wings are on fire. Gillis dropped back into the sea and Eden could finally breath normally again. Eden gasped for air and still felt pain deep inside of him.
Eden closed his eyes slowly as he fell into sleep…hearing one last word from someone, "Eden?"
