Chapter 15
"A Cursed Devil Awoken"
The crowds were wild in the bloody arena. Unfortunately the blood is Heihachi's and not the kid's. The kid was winning there was no doubt. He had an astonishing speed and unbelievable power and Heihachi was growing angry and tired by each blow he misses. Heihachi could still see the kid had a lot of energy within him because of how jumpy he was. He was still as fast and as strong when this match has started. Heihachi was giving into the devil bit by bit but it looks like he needs to surrender completely to win this fight but Heihachi does not know what the devil will do. A devil is a dangerous creature to play with and is needed to be taken seriously.
"Ha!" The kid exclaimed when he did one of his fake steps, tricking Heihachi again. Heihachi was very tired and felt like he's going to pass out on this floor but he can't let the kid win. He doesn't even know him. Zion started to run straight at him and Heihachi was ready to block but the kid slid on the floor and between his legs. Before Heihachi could turn around he felt his head was leaned back by his hair and he saw the kid raise his left leg in the air and slam it into his face with his heel, making him fall into the ground.
"5…4…3…2…1…" Heihachi got up before Zion was pronounced as a winner and backed away. He saw Zion wipe off the sweat from his forehead and jumped back and cracks his neck. I have to, I have to give in or else I will lose. Heihachi slowly crouched and felt his blood rush through him like a stream in a narrow passage. Electrical blue sparks flew around him and each candle blew out as the crowd's excitement diminished. Strong, gray wings approached from his back as he arced over from pain and the wings flapped out as his eyes redden. Zion quit jumping as he saw what terrible creature Heihachi really was.
"Oh my god." These three last words escaped from him as he backed away and gulped. The devil smirked at the child's fear and let out a laugh that marked his evil. The kid's eyes widened as he tightened his fists. He seemed to be ready, even for the worst.
The devil lunged into the air, staring at the pitiful figure of the fighter. An eye on his forehead gushed open, as it spotted it's opponent. Heihachi leaned back and let out stray beams into different directions. The lasers rounded and marked their way across the arena and around the chandeliers, towards Zion with fire. The beams missed by a quarter of an inch as Zion rolled away and danced around the floor.
The aiming became harder as the kid didn't stop moving across the bloody floor. The devil had no choice but to land and fist fight him or at least try and shoot him with his third eye. Zion jumped up and grabbed him by his clawed legs, before he even got to the floor, and brought him down hard with such force. Zion raised his left leg in the air and broke the floor as the Devil rolled away.
"You have extraordinary speed and power, young one. But you are no match for someone like me." The devil stood up slowly and looked at him directly in the eyes. Zion shook out his shoulders and backed away quickly.
The devil chuckled evilly and slowly started to come to Zion who had no more space to back away. Zion looked back at the crowd right below him and stared back into the creature eyes and strafed to his left. Heihachi did nothing but follow the kid, limiting the ground he could go on. The distance slowly contracted between them two and the Devil acted. He fired of another stray beam that divided into three one flew directly at the youth while the others rounded and attacked him from the sides.
Zion ducked and fell on the floor as he rolled away a few good feet away from the Demon. He quickly jumped to his feet and attacked him from his left side by grabbing his left arm. Heihachi grabbed Zion by his hair and smashed his head with his. The kid knocked against the floor and grabbed his forehead as he rolled back and forth from pain, moaning.
The Devil came up and took him by his hair again and forced him up. Zion struggled as he screamed and kicked Heihachi directly in his chest with his foot. Heihachi smiled and pulled his left arm back and winded a punch into his face. Zion plunged into the air and hit one of the back walls of the arena and slid down to the floor without moving.
The crowd stayed quiet as Heihachi was announced as a winner. No one knew what happened to Zion, no one was in there to even care…

The mansion was quiet when Jennifer arrived at its grounds. It was nightfall and stars dazed over the sky as the crickets sang. Jennifer took a breather and walked passed the guards that were guarding the entrance. She wiped of the sweat that was in her eyes and slowly went up the stairs and bumped into someone she has least expected.
It was Emma Williams, the most gorgeous woman in the mansion. "I am sorry, I did not see you there." She said with her light voice and smiled. Jennifer nodded and went passed her. "Oh, I have something to tell you." Jennifer turned around and walked up to Emma again. "What is it?" Emma pushed her reddish, blondish hair back behind her ear and dropped her smile. "Are you friends with Zion Malacon?" "That's right." Jennifer came up closer and put her hands on her hips. "Did something happen?"
"Well, actually, yes. He has fought against Heihachi and is mortally wounded. He is resting in the hospital wing east of here. You might want to visit him. No one has come around to even check up on him." Emma walked further down the stairs and looked back at Jennifer. "I think it would be wise to go and talk to him." Jennifer's heart broke and she ran quickly up the stairs and headed for the east wing. Whatever happened it didn't sound good, she can feel it, the sound of Emma's voice and the mention of Heihachi's name. It all did not sound good at all. Jennifer sprinted as fast as she could to get there.

Eden awoke from yet another nightmare and was sweating like rain pouring down. Julie was gone and it was very quiet. Memories played in his head, as he can't believe what he has done. He stood up carefully and walked up to the balcony. The moon shone in the beautiful night sky, reflecting off every wall.
He breathed in the fresh air and closed his eyes as everything he experienced came to his head. What if he has made a mistake? What if it was wrong for him to do this? He had no right, no right at all. What if something terrible happens? He feels the devil is seeking him out and torturing him day by day. He can't let another being suffer the fate he has.
Eden walked up to the dresser and put on his Gi and looked at his schedule. He smirked at what he has seen. The match he won with Gillis was actually counted and he was proclaimed as a winner. He has to fight Heihachi in the next match which is today if he will show up. And he has showed up, so everything is going as they have planned. He put down his schedule and walked out of his room and met Julie.
"Julie!" He exclaimed and saw that she wasn't that happy like she a few hours ago. "What is it?" He asked her and searched for the answers in her eyes but came up with none. "Heihachi…" She looked away. "He has been consumed by the devil. I can feel it." His eyes widened. "But why? Didn't you say something was suppose to trigger it?" She didn't answer and he took her by her shoulders. "Julie, look at me." He commanded and she slowly laid her beautiful blue eyes on him. "He must have had a match against someone really strong." She said.
Eden's heart fell to his feet. "Who did he fight?" He ran down the stairs, leaving Julie standing there lost in her own thoughts. Eden ran up to the bulletin board and he felt horrible. Heihachi had challenged Zion in the last match. This can't be good; if Heihachi turned into a devil then Zion is as good as dead.
Julie slowly came down the stairs and looked at him. "I'm sorry." She whispered and hugged her arms from cold. "I did not see it coming." Eden came up to her and hugged her. "It's okay, just tell me where he is." He pleaded and looked into her eyes. "East wing, the Hospital Wing." Eden nodded and went to see his old friend.
Jennifer was already there when Eden arrived, holding his hand as she spoke to him. "Hey." Eden came up and sat in one of the chairs. "You alright?" Zion nodded and smirked. "I was beating the old man good that he even pissed in his pants." Eden smiled and stood up. "How is he?" Jennifer looked at Eden with her watery eyes. "Well the doctors say he will be okay." She looked at Zion and her voice broke. "But he looks like he's dead to me." "At least I can talk, right?" He joked again and Jennifer frowned. "I hate it when you do that." "Do what?" She tightened his grip. "Kidding around like that! This is serious, Zion." "Alright, alright. You win." Zion smiled again and looked at Eden.
"Do me a favor, Eden." Eden listened carefully at his next words. "Crush that beast once and for all." Eden nodded and shook his hand. "No worries, friend. He's already dead."
