(a/n): Sorry for not updating in a long time but I had schoolwork to do. Anyway, I agree about the last chapter being short and everything. That is because if I put everything together then it will be TOO long. I appreciate you are still reading this. Thank you very much.
By the way, there are two parts to the chapter. Here's the first chap. Enjoy. ^_^
Chapter 16
The Demon's War Part I
Eden bandaged his palms and put on his black gloves as he stood in the big dojo. This is where he will fight Heihachi, if he will show up that is. Eden was in his black Gi, topless. His shirt was completely ripped when he has turned into the Devil. So it's really true. He does have a devil gene in him. Eden leaned against the wall and took a deep breath. He has never felt the demon with him. Only in dreams he has. But it never inflicted his real life, it never made him question or hurt someone. It hasn't even made him stronger. He thought it was a bluff until he has really experienced it, the transformation.
"I am glad that you have showed up." Eden turned to the voice and Heihachi was standing next to the door. "We will fight until the death, boy. The winner must come out of the dojo to proclaim him as one." Eden hasn't showed any response but hatred. He hated him so much for what he has done. He hated him for destroying his home and making sure he was part of this tournament. He hated him for hurting his only best friend who he knew all his life. He hated for how he has hurt Julie. And lastly, he wanted to destroy him for what he has done to him. Eden was a wingless demon, a demon that carried the shame and pain of being one. He will kill Heihachi for even showing up is his life.
"Bring it on, then." Eden said smoothly and calmly like a true killer. He spotted a smile on Heihachi's face and that made his blood boil. "Your attitude is not like your father's, did you know that? He used to be such a quiet young man. But you, oh I like you. You have hatred and you are not afraid to hurt. You are like Kazuya once was, yes I like that. Well, just so you know." He smiled wider. "I welcome your hatred." Eden narrowed his eyes and they were burning with fire.
Eden kept his cool but he felt anger is going to flame out really soon if he isn't going to hurt this bastard in time. "Bring it on!" This time Eden screamed the words as he lunged after Heihachi. Heihachi quickly did a Demon Breath and Eden collapsed to the floor. He then quickly made Demon Scissors and Eden rolled over.
Heihachi dropped on the floor but the minute he did, he rolled fast and no damage was done to him. He was completely different now. He wasn't old like Eden's father explained. Heihachi acted and fought like a young person. He even looked like one. It looks like the experiment worked and Heihachi definitely won't die from age. Eden made a Skyscraper Kick, like his mother's and Heihachi blocked it. But Eden wasn't finished. His dad taught him as well. Just when Heihachi went to counter his kick Eden made a Back Spin Mid Kick and hit Heihachi in the ribs. Heihachi hunched over and Eden grabbed his shoulders and winded his knee up his face.
He doubled over and stayed on the floor, wiping of his own blood from his nose. "You are good." He murmured. "But not good enough. If I have defeated your friend, I can certainly defeat you." He stood up and made a Hell Axle, jumping into the air and kicked Eden with his left foot as he turned and then hit him with the right leg. Eden guard was broken and Heihachi finished of with a half splits kick, forcing Eden into the ground. (You know, like the Hwoarang's Hunting Hawk.)
Eden lied on the floor until he noticed a foot was about to be shoved into his face with a Geta Stomp. Eden rolled of into the distance and stood in his stance as he began to walk side ways. Heihachi stood up from the crouch and looked back at Eden with a smile. Eden kept dancing around as he waited Heihachi out. Heihachi made a Jumping Mid Kick to close the distance between them too and missed by two inches as Eden sidestepped out of the way. Eden grabbed Heihachi's right arm and hit Heihachi in the face with his left foot and forced him down to the floor. Once on the floor Eden kept his left leg near Heihachi's neck to keep him down as he twisted his arm out of the socket.
Heihachi screamed in pain and kicked Eden off but Eden jumped back a few good feet. He saw Heihachi get angry and now Eden could see fury in his eyes. Heihachi started to run towards him very fast. Eden got in a position and just when Heihachi was close enough Eden grabbed him by the shoulders and made a summersault over him as he let go. Heihachi crashed into the wall and was stunned. Eden didn't realize how funny that looked because he was concentrating on winning.
Heihachi got up and shook his head and got into his position again. Eden came towards him slowly but keeping an eye out for surprises. Heihachi smiled and this time he made a Jumping Low Kick, tripping Eden face down. Before he could roll over, Heihachi grabbed him by his well-combed black hair and looked into his sweating face. "Is that all you got, boy? You are worthless!" He hit Eden's face hard against the floor and Eden screamed. Heihachi chuckled and encircled him. "What are you waiting for, get up." He saw Eden slowly get up and Heihachi kicked him back down.
This time Eden rolled over and jumped up from the ground and he was mad this time. Angry at how Heihachi treats him. Eden made a High Spinning Kick and a smile traced Heihachi's face at the move he recognized. Heihachi ducked under it and came up with Twin Pistons, hitting Eden in the face once, making him back up and then he hit him in the chin harder, making him fly into the air. Heihachi didn't move and let Eden hit the ground very hard. Blood escaped his mouth the minute he landed on the floor and he started to whine from pain but Heihachi had no mercy. He made a Spinning Demon, sweeping him off the floor with three hits and came up with a Tsunami Kick, which brought Eden back into the air from the first kick and down hard with the second.
"You are weak, my child." Heihachi said, mockingly. Eden rolled to his stomach and tried to get up and Heihachi hit his feet, making him fall down again. "How could you have gone up to this point I wonder. Even Zion was stronger then you." Eden started to breath hard, as he had no choice but to listen to what Heihachi had to say. He slowly encircled him, studying him in all views and Eden became nervous for the first time. He knew only one of them could live. So why is he pacing? Why doesn't he just crush his spine and get over it. Eden had no energy in him to get up. He was too weak. Heihachi had too much energy and he was a devil with an unbelievable power.
"Well I guess this is the end, my child." Heihachi said it with no feeling as he came up behind him. Heihachi examined the two scars on Eden's back, the scars from the operation. Heihachi gritted his teeth and made a Geta Stomp on him. Eden quickly got onto his back and grabbed his foot with his hands. Eden twisted his leg and Heihachi doubled over with a look of puzzlement. Eden got up and limped away as he winced at all the pain.
Heihachi couldn't get up, his arm was out of socket and his leg is broken. Eden used this advantage when Heihachi barely got on his knees. He leaped into the air with a Leaping Side Kick. Heihachi quickly neutralized the move with a Heaven's Wrath. He grabbed his left leg with his good arm and with the twisted foot he pushed Eden into the wall.
Eden's head rang as he met it with the wall. Eden grabbed his head in pain as he looked up at Heihachi who was still on his knees. Eden smiled and ran towards him again, this time making a low sweep, sweeping Heihachi off of his feet. Eden quickly stood and crushed him with his whole weight as he performed a Spinning Flare Kick. Heihachi gave out his left breath and Eden rolled off of him and noticed he was unconscious. Eden has done it he has won the tournament, but there's only one problem. He hasn't 'killed' Heihachi, meaning he will still try his best to go after him again.
Eden couldn't do it. Kill his own flesh, his own blood. Sure Heihachi was evil but Eden doesn't have it in him. Eden let out a sigh of relief as he started to drag himself towards the exit. "Where do you think you are going, boy? The party is just starting."
Eden wheeled around and saw Heihachi's red eyes that marked all the blood he has spilled. His dark, gray wings fully out of him as he lunged into the air, laughing. Eden's heart skipped a beat as Heihachi fired a beam from his third eye, which is now formed with a glow of blood. Eden rolled to his side as the beam missed and hit one of the back walls and it shattered, completely. Eden stared at what once had been a statue and knew that could have been him. Eden looked up into the air and Heihachi was flying straight for him.
Eden fell on the floor and Heihachi was on top of him. "You have really good friends, don't you?" Heihachi hushed into his ear as fangs where forming. "All my data was somehow stolen. All the data I have received from Juliet. So what's the story?" Heihachi asked as he grabbed Eden by his arms and flew up into the air. Eden felt like his arms are being pulled back from his weight and he couldn't take the pain as they were going higher.
Heihachi slammed Eden against the ceiling, hard and Eden was stunned as he fell back into the floor. A cry escaped from him and Heihachi smiled at the pain he is giving. It about time this had happened.
Eden was slowly standing up and knew he had no choice but to transform but there is one little, tiny, insignificant, little problem, he doesn't know how. He got up and screamed out as his spine hurt him a lot. Eden quickly turned around and noticed Heihachi was leaning down and was about to lunge an attack.
Eden ran with all his might away from Heihachi's path and Heihachi landed into the floor making a big THUMP. Eden's eyes widened at the sight of the hard marbled broken floor. Heihachi stood up and turned to him again and started to laugh, making his devil. He looked straight into Eden's eyes and Eden felt so much evil all at once.
"You are weak." The demon spat as he started to walk towards him with his humongous wings in back of him, folded. Eden backed off with fear and hit the wall behind him. Eden didn't know what to do. He looked around him, to his left, right up and even down but the boy hasn't found anything. He quietly cursed himself and looked back at Heihachi's eyes and saw amusement in them.
Heihachi squeezed his knuckles and lighting encircled his body, shooting out from his fists and his eyes were getting darker. Eden's heart was stolen with panic and he didn't know what to do. But if he won't find anything, he is a fried chicken.
"Even though your friends stole the most important information, I still know how to use my powers!" Heihachi growled, raising his hands in the air and the lighting had hit the ceiling. "I posses a power none of you devils have ever experienced, I am the KING!!!" Heihachi dropped his hands towards Eden and the lighting followed. Eden rolled out of the way, grabbing his left arm as it has hit him.
Just when Eden was about to stand up and run away something shattered near him. The debris from the ceiling is falling! Eden shot his head up and noticed, how unsteady it was and it could crush on them anytime. "Heihachi stop this before you kill the both of us!" Heihachi just laughed in response and spun a full circle, pushing everything out of its way. Eden crouched as the thunder went above him.
He is insane! Eden thought and backed away and noticed that Heihachi wasn't even paying attention to him. He was completely taken over by the devil, completely under control. Eden ran towards him when he has turned his back on him and made a leaping sidekick. Heihachi slammed hard into the wall and was stunned as he slowly came down. Eden quickly caught him and whirled him around and kicked him in the back, making him fall into the middle of the dojo.
CRACK!! Eden raised his head and his eyes widened. A large piece of debris was falling straight at Heihachi's back. Eden couldn't let this happen. He wasn't a killer; he never meant to hurt someone. "Heihachi, look out!!!!!!" He screamed as he ran to push him out of the way but it was already to late. The debris completely fell onto Heihachi's back and there was a long silence. "NOO!!!!" Eden screamed in agony as he felt his heart burn as one of his family members just got mortally hurt. Eden fell on his knees in disbelief.
Eden just sat there, not sure if he should go out, not sure if he deserved it. "Kazama." Heihachi quietly pronounced his last name and Eden quickly crawled to him and wanted to cry out loud at what injury he saw. Heihachi was all in blood, bleeding from his head, nose and mouth. His eyes were badly bruised and his back was most definitely broken. "I…" He whispered and Eden wanted to run away as far as he can, because Heihachi's voice was still strong and deadly. "Will…" Heihachi closed his eyes and breathed out a long breath. "Get…" His head drooled on the floor as more blood escaped the wounds. "YOU!!!!" He screamed as he shot his eyes open and head up to look straight at him.
Eden scrambled back to his feet and he saw more anger building up in Heihachi. "You will pay for this!!" He screamed after him as Eden ran for the exit but stopped dead in his tracts. He couldn't go, he couldn't move, he couldn't even blink. "Well, well, well, it's the Kazama boy, alive and well. I guess I should finish what Heihachi has started." "You…" Eden barely let that word escape his lips. "You're dead." "No, Eden. You are." Eden ran back the way he came from but Gillis somehow took control over his body and threw him against the wall.
"Still weak, I see." Gillis smirked and let go of Eden. "Gillis, get me out of here!" Heihachi roared in madness. "Sorry old man, but I guess I'll have to take over." "You double crossing son-of-a—" Heihachi was quieted when a piece of debris fell on his face from the power of what Gillis controlled. "All these years with you old man had driven me crazy. Finally, when the Zaibatsu is near my hands, why should I stop pulling? You are a fool. You trusted me, well…I didn't." Gillis smiled more and came up to him as he crouched.
"Now that you're soon dead, the boy is at my grasp." He pointed towards Eden. "I car reel out Jin and Julie. And then everybody will bow at my feet because I will rule all!" He screamed in pleasure as he got up and walked up to Eden. "And you are the most useful part of the bargain." He said to Eden and smiled wider. "But once the bargain is done, you are practically useless." He turned back to Heihachi and said, "Prepare to die Heihachi. Today is a good day."
"Indeed it is." Gillis slowly turned his head to the owner of the voice and swore to kill him today. "Jin…" He said evilly. "Gillis." Jin regarded him the same way.
