Chapter 8

1 Jack was already down, and the others began to close on Jin. With a mighty uppercut, Jin knocked 1 clear up into the air. It landed with a heavy thud near where Hwoarang and Paul were attacking another Jack. Hwoarang sent a powerful roundhouse into it's face, while Paul used his Burning Fist into the Jack's gut. The Jack staggered backwards. Jin ripped the head off of the assailing Jack and sprinted towards another Jack. He sent a jumping uppercut, electricity exploding from his fists. At the same time, Hwoarang lifted the last Jack into the air with a powerful left kick. The two airborne Jacks collided and exploded. The commotion settled down as Hwoarang, Paul, and Ling walked to the center of the room. Before they could say anything to Jin, the door at the other end opened. Kazuya walked inside holding the corpse of Heihachi Mishima. He threw the body aside as Jin stared with utter disbelief. "Looks like I've saved you the trouble," Kazuya smirked.

Jin could only stand there wondering why and how his father was here. He finally worked up the nerve to ask "What's going on here?" Kazuya raised his arms and flames engulfed the outer edges of the room, making a barrier between Jin and his companions. "I'll tell you what's going on, son," Kazuya said maniacally. "When this world was young, an angel and a demon fought for control of the earth. After so much time passed, the two could not keep up their battles and they eventually died. However, they each became an essence, and essence capable of bonding with another being with similar characteristics." Kazuya walked around Jin slowly. Jin did not turn to face him but continued to listen to his father's speech. "The angel found similarities with your mother, Jun Kazama. It became part of her. It does this by "killing" a half of the person's soul and filling that gap with it's own life. It did the same with me, manifesting itself in the form of a gene so that it could be passed on. However, genes are unpredictable. I could not believe father had the strength in his old bones to defeat me. Half of my gene was passed on to you. I completely embrace the values of this demon. But you are different. You are a dangerous mix of good and evil. But now, I will kill you. And when I do, our genes will be reunited. They will become one again. I will be all powerful and I will have you to thank for it. Prepare yourself, Jin Kazama. Your mother isn't here to die for you now!"

Kazuya was so much more powerful than Jin had ever imagined. He attack with lightning quick speed. His blows would knock Jin several feet back, even when blocked. Jin focused his mind. He had to survive this fight. He went on the offensive and attacked his hated father with his most powerful techniques. Kazuya simply brushed them aside and countered with his first uppercut, and punch that connected with Jin's chin and sent him flying into the air. He landed on the ground but bounced back to his feet. Kazuya bent over laughing. "Jin! You're more pathetic than I thought! Certainly, you could have put up a better fight than this. But enough games, Jin. I'm going to show you what true power is." With that, Kazuya began a transformation. His skin turned purple. Fur began sweeping up his legs. The scar on his chest became blood red as did his eyes. Two horns erupted from the top of his head and a small red gem emerged from between his eyes. Finally, he bent over and two great wings sprang up. He flapped his leathery wings and rose into the air. "Now, then. Shall we continue?" Kazuya yelled as he swooped down to attack Jin. Jin rolled out of the way and landed in a crouched position. He turned his head to watch his father bank of and spin around to face him. "If he can do that..." Jin thought to himself. He searched into his mind.

Finding a latent energy flowing in his head, he focused on it and allowed the Devil Gene to take over. He began a transformation also. His skin turned scaly and green. Large wings came about from his shoulder blades, and his eyes began red, just like Kazuya's. His well-toned muscles became even larger as he completed his transformation. Yet somehow, he was still in control of himself. Kazuya smiled. "Well, you've finally decided to show me what you can do." Without warning, Kazuya fired a projectile from the gem in his forehead. Like a searing laser, it cut a hole in Jin's thigh. "AAAAARRRRGGGHHHH!!!" Jin screamed. It wasn't a human scream. It was a monstrous roar. Jin ignored the pain and leaped up to his father. Clasping onto his legs, he brought Kazuya down and began throwing punches in his face. Kazuya kicked him off. The two began hand to hand fighting again. Kazuya delivered a roundhouse, which Jin ducked and retaliated with an uppercut. Kazuya blocked it and thrust his palm forward, making contact with Jin's gut. Jin reeled back and hit the floor. Kazuya fired another beam, this one impacting on his shoulder. It was clear that Kazuya was having his fun now. "Jin," he said. "You've lost. Now it's time to give back what you took from me."

Jin could only think of one thing. His mind shifted from his father to his mother. Somehow, the image of his mother made him feel distinctly better. He could hear her voice. "Jin, listen to me and follow your heart. It won't lead you wrong. Your father, despite his evil, can still be a good person. Anyone is capable of that, Jin. Even you. Although you are a conflicting mass of essence, I believe in you. Your friends believe in you. Jin..."

Jin's eyes snapped opened. With a sudden push with his hands, he flipped up, kicking Kazuya squarely in the face. "It's not over yet," Jin said, with a trill in his voice. He rushed Kazuya, who began to attack again. Jin countered and dodged his punches and kicks. Each attack was easily countered. Jin brushed his father's fist aside and came back with a punch to the gut. Kazuya staggered back at Jin's sudden strength. He tried another attack, this time a quick high combo. Jin closed his eyes and crouched low, then came back up with another uppercut. Kazuya was lifted into the air. He crashed to the ground, landing in front of Ling. She stood with astonishment. But she did understand Jin. She finally found why he was the way he was. Jin lifted his father in the air with one hand and began to absorb his energy. After a minute, Kazuya's broken wings went limp and his entire body went dark. Jin dropped his father and collapsed, his form beginning to shift back to the original.

They left the mansion together, carrying Kazuya's body. Ling watched Jin with a fearful expression in her eyes. She finally had to say something. "Jin? What now?" He narrowed his eyes. "I have the complete Devil Gene now. There are two more things I have to do. One is to destroy my father's body. I know the perfect way to do that. Two..." His voice trailed off. "What it is, Kazama?" Hwoarang quizzed. "It's also something else very important. I'll tell you once we get to the volcano." With that, they trudged into the mountainous paths and up to the dormant volcano.
