Chapter 10:

Finale

So what happened after that, you ask? Heh, well, that demon screamed and turned into a thick black dust. The darkness cleared and to say the least, all three of the demons were defeated and I learned my lesson. I researched all about the three human samurai warriors and the battle between the demons, getting as mush information as I could. My Master, Jin stated his point to me about messing with the unknown especially if I knew nothing of it. He also praised me for using my head and defeating my inner demon, saying something of the sort, 'Become stronger than others, not to show off, but to be the one person to say that you have defeated your inner demon, so that those who hear may follow your example of your strength of will'.

Hwoarang said his share and went back to Korea to pray to Baek, his Master. He left me with a small silver chain, which I wear along with a small gold one, Jin gave me before I left for America. Meanwhile I apologized to Jin, and told him how everything he had said, came true. He smiled and told me that 'No matter how old you get, you always make mistakes, and you are not always going to get wiser'. I cherish all of his words. Master.

So it came to be that my birthday was the same as Jin's. I also found out that he was Heihachi Mishima's grandson, unfortunately that's all I found out. The organization that had kidnapped me was run by Heihachi and that he ordered my capture upon finding out about my demon. I now know that the blackouts I always had when I got angry, was my inner demon, Kaeisyn coming out and using my anger and hatred to get revenge. I've gotten to control it now, which is a good thing. And Lei, the 'Super Cop', he got promoted somehow and I was sent back to America about one week after the whole demon escapade.

But what happened to those mother fuckin' Hell Hunters? Well, they haven't caught up to me yet. I also found out that the mafia behind Hell Hunters, was after Steve too. You know the British boxer, Steve Fox. So we help each other every so often when we bump into one another. Steve also told me he had run into a pretty cool blonde assassin by the name of Nina Williams. Paul? Well, he's as goofy as ever and he'll stay that way. He went back to Marshal and Forest Law, who I got to meet about a month ago. Said he'd come back when the 4th Iron Fist Tourney. was gonna be held.

Well, since all that had happened, I heard Hwoarang got drafted by the Korean Military, so I send him things sometimes. You know, like souvenirs 'n stuff, since I'm all over the globe runnin' from that mafia. Speak of Hwoarang, I heard from him that the black American Texan Girl, Tashima, had become his girlfriend and that despite his military career, they were going pretty good. Too bad I never got to know her that well. Xaioyu went back to China for a while and then back to Japan, said she had to visit her Master er Uncle Wang Jenrey, who won a local fishing contest. Heh, what a turn out eh?

After being transported back to Sanfransico, California, I decided not to give up until I've won MY battle. Now, I'm known as 'Cyn Shinigami' or just 'Shinigami'. I'm a famous girl rapper and skateboarder. About a year ago, I went to the X-Games S8Board Crazee and won 1st place in World Championship, fulfilling my brother, Zack's wishes. According to the billboard charts I've sold over 2.5 million copies of my self-titled CD, 'Shinigami'. My rock/rap/hip hop type music set the stage for people who are like me. People who are lost, afraid, tested, and tried. I've been all over the world. I met a silver haired guy named, Lee Chaolan, in the Caribbean and helped him out by investing a little money in his 'Combot' project. A trip to Brazil gave me a new sight and I made friends with a Brazilian girl by the mane of Christie Monterio, who uses the ancient art of Capiera.

It's been over about two years and I've experienced a lot. And I've calmed a bit, but not by much. It might seem that I'm all subtle and humble now but it's really the opposite. But thinking about the past makes me wonder, and look forward to seeing everyone at the Tournament again, but this time.... This time, I'll be the fighter, not the party crasher. But I never really knew what happened to Jin. I remember passing his black belt test and promising to come back one day. He made me promise to come back. To come back and defeat him. After that he disappeared. I never saw him again. But something tells me he'll be at the tournament. I know he will. And it won't be pretty. There is something... Something that he's hiding. I could feel it then.... And I can feel it now. He's coming back. He's gonna come back bigger, better, and more powerful than ever, and I don't think he's after the prize. But I will be there. I will watch him. And I will fight him.... To make sure he's never alone.
