Chapter 18: Alterior Motives
¤
Tatiana Chang was in the laboratory. She was working late and had this feeling that someone was there. Except for the fact that the feeling wasn't normal, it was strange. She kept hearing voices, there.
I'm just imagining it. No one is here, Tatiana kept reminding herself in her mind. Not that she was scared if anyone happened to be there.
Tatiana had lectures all day. She was majoring in biology. Allthough Tatiana was majoring in biology, she wanted to finish her mother's work. Her mother had found out the secret behind the Devil gene and had found a cure for it; A gene which supressed the Devil gene. But unfortunately Heihachi Mishima had sent Dr. Abel, someone working for him to kill Julia Chang and take her files.
Luckily Dr. Abel failed. Julia was alive and had the cure. Julia did however not want to use it, because she knew that they would come after her- and Tatiana. Julia loved Tatiana more than anything and would risk her life for her. She would not, let the Mishimas hurt her. When Tatiana was fourteen, she happened to come across the files; Hidden in a place, where Julia thought no one would find them. She was proven wrong. Tatiana had started to secretly use the files and find out information.
Tatiana looked at all of the things, which would put the cure together. Tatiana knew what to do and started to pour one fluid into another one. She mixed the two fluids and they combined a blue liquid substance. The blue liquid was then, mixed with another liquid; which looked like water.
And this supresses the Devil gene, Tatiana thought as she poured in another liquid. She smiled faintly, thinking about how the Mishimas would look, when they found about the cure. Tatiana hated the Mishima family with a passion. She would do anything to see them fail.
She felt a cold gust of wind enter the room, as the swing door opened. And shut. Tatiana left the room. She went towards the door and opened. She looked around the narrow hallway. There was no one there, but Tatiana couldn't shake the feeling of the fact the someone must have been there.
She was imagining it, she must have been.
She decided to ignore it and continue her work. She noticed the cold air, fill the room. She had heard to the door open, but not slam shut. She looked up and to her surprise saw a familiar person enter the room. Anger filled her mind, as she started to speak.
" You!" Tatiana barked, noticing the Mishimas' presence. She was angry. Tatiana gave him a cold look and crossed her arms. " What do you want, Mishima?"
" Can you guess, Chang?" Kazuya replied slyly. Tatiana noticed him eying the cure. It made sparks appear in her eyes; She was angry.
" I'm not going to give you the cure." Tatiana said angrily. She turned her back from Kazuya.
" Well, if you're not going to give us it....You don't want to see...your mother alive!" Kazuya said, pausing between some of the words. Tatiana turned to him, at the mention of her mother. A sign of worry on her face, made him smirk evily, as she asked him a question.
" What do you mean?" She asked.
" Well, to make sure, I get the cure. I have kidnapped your mother. And will not hesistate to kill her, in order to get what I want." Kazuya exclaimed watching Tatiana's expression change slightly. Kazuya walked closer to the Chang girl, extending his hand to take; Her research. The only thing, she had that was important.
" Give me the cure and you and your family will not be hurt" Kazuya suggested. Kazuya waited for his answer. He was starting to lose patience with the teenager.
" No." Tatiana answered stubbornly, shocking Kazuya with this reply. She had a plan, she could keep the cure and keep her mother alive. She had to focus on getting the cure far from Kazuya's hands.
Surprised. Tatiana watched Kazuya slowly disappear into the darkness. She knew that he would try to get the cure, this wasn't the end of it. Kazuya Mishima always had alterior motives behind his actions.

Henna Nasi looked around. She saw cherry blossoms, Bonzai trees, hills and mountains; ilumintated by the firey sun. Henna smiled before looking at her opponent. Her opponent was another teenager. He had a silver blonde hair and icy blue eyes. He was very tall and wore a black tuxedo-like suit; Henna recognized him instantly from all the magazine and TV interviews. Ken Chaolan.
Ken Chaolan was the heir of the Chaolan Zaibatsu. The son of Lee Chaolan. Probably, just as evil and selfish as his father. Ken smirked evily and went into his stance.
Henna bowed and waited silently for the fight to start.
" Round 1: Henna Nasi vs. Ken Chaolan. Fight!"
Ken Chaolan charged at his opponent. Henna was much quicker and had sidestepped and got Ken into a combo. She kicked him in the head. Then she went into a crouch-like lowstance. Henna threw her hands in the direction, Ken was falling. Her fist were clanched, when they collidided with Ken; making his fall, more painful than it was. Ken rolled to his side and got up. He had obviously underestimated the young Wu Shu fighter. Wu Shu was a dangerous martial art, which was a mixture between Chinese Martial Arts and Kung fu. Ken leapt high in the air, as his heel connected to Henna's face, smashing her to the hard ground. Ken kicked his opponent, who now was lying on the floor, in the ribs.
Henna got up. She kicked him aiming at his stomach. Ken blocked and countered the move. As Henna's back was facing Ken, Ken took the chance to kick Henna. Henna fell forward. And was lying on her back. The teenager stood up and did an axe kick.
Ken stood up to receive a punch. Luckily, he blocked it. Ken held Henna's wrist tightly. Henna squealed in pain and was standing in strange stance. She turned her leg and jumped. While she leapt in the air, she kicked Ken in the head.
Ken fell to the ground. The announcer started to count. 10. 9. 8. 7. 6. 5. 4. 3. 2. 1.
"Round 1: Henna Nasi wins!" the announcer screamed. The audience roared with cheers, as Henna bowed and did a cartwheel.

"Round two"
Ken Chaolan had gotten the lead in this round. He had already trapped her in couple of combos. She was defenseless, as Ken pulled of a painful 10 hit combo. He angrily stared at his opponent. She was quite tall and had short brown hair. The bottoms were dyed blue and looked like blue flames. Her eyes were brown. She wore a white V-neck top and white matching skirt. She wore knee high stockings and white shoes to match.
Ken kicked his opponent. Henna blocked his kick and punched him. She went into the crouch stance and did " Flaming Dragon" and " Burning Fire", which were kick combos. This sent Ken to the ground.
He flew to the ground again, as he received a kick to his gut. He got up and received a couple of punches aimed at his face, ended with a well timed sommersault.
Henna landed gracefully on her feet and went into another stance. She looked at Ken; He was unconscious.
" Henna Nasi Wins!"

By the time night had came, she had arrived at the Chaolan empire. She walked into an office. Someone sitting in a office chair turned around. It was Lee Chaolan. She glared at him, icily.
"Nina." Lee Chaolan said suprised to see her, there. He noticed, that the woman was glaring daggers at him.
" Chaolan," Nina Williams replied in a cold and unfriendly tone. She was angry. " Where is the money?"
" I don't know what you're talking about," Lee replied. Nina looked even angry. She moved closer to the silver haired man.
" You know damn well what I'm talking about," Nina growled through a thick Irish accent. " The money you were going to pay me for killing that geezer, you call your adoptive father!"
" I...I don't have it" Lee explained. He wasn't sure of what Nina would do.
" Oh...Well. It would be a shame to kill you now, just as we were starting to get along" Nina said angrily. She pulled out a gun; A Desert Eagle. To prove that she was serious. Lee's expression changed.
" Do you have a deathwish?" Nina asked and laughed evily. She looked at Lee. He was frightened.
Lee pulled out his checkbook and wrote out a check of 10 000 dollars. He thought that was enough.
Nina smiled evily; satisfied with getting what she wanted.

Author's Notes: It was Nina. Are you surprised? I gave alot of clues leading to her; That the person who shot Heihachi had experience in shooting people, Nina is an assasin. That she/he have connections to Heihachi. Nina tried to kill him once. That she/he had a criminal record.
Bye! I'll try to have the next chapter up soon. See ya! R/R
