Chapter 4
Jin vs Julia.
"Round one FIGHT!" The announcer shouted signaling the being of the match.
"Remember Kazama don't underestimate me!" Julia warned.
Then she attacked! Catching Jin off guard she managed to land an energy blow.
"You're good... but not good enough! DEMON PAW!"
"OWW!" Julia cried in pain as she hit the arena floor.
She held her hand up to the place where Jin had hit her. She felt blood on her hand and glared.
"No one gets away with doing that to Julia Chang!"
I don't want to hurt her! I have to finish this quick.
" This ends now."
"I don't think so."
"Well I DO!"
From the crowd Heihachi watched a all too familiar attack.
~ Flashback ~
Kuzuya held her out at arm's length and delivered two fatal kicks to her head.
~ Flashback ends ~
"AHH!" Julia hit the arena floor.
"Stay down." Jin muttered under his breath. "Please Julia stay down!"
Julia tried to get back up but merely fell again. "No… it can't end this way." She whispered. "It just can't."
"Give up…"
"I can't quit now."
"Please…"
"I have to keep going."
"Stop…"
"No I have to keep fighting for you… mother."
Julia struggled to her feet.
"NO YOU FOOL!" Jin shouted.
"Jin Kazama why are you here?" she asked.
"To avenge my mother."
"I see… revenge. Don't you know how to enjoy fighting?"
"Enjoy it? How could I enjoy hurting people?"
"Well that's why you're here isn't it? Revenge on Ogre. To hurt Ogre?"
"I don't consider Ogre a person."
"Well like it or not he is Jin. I believe that every living soul on this planet is a person."
"… I'm not so sure that Ogre has a soul."
"What? Jin Kazama how could you say such a thing?"
:"Enough talk. Let's finish this now.
"Very well. We shall each use our strongest finishing move."
"I don't need nor want to use a finishing move."
"W-why not?"
"You're almost out of strength. A mere punch or kick could finish you off now."
"What? Do you mean to say that you were only toying with me this whole time?"
"Afraid so."
"You could have finished me off a long time ago but you didn't! How could you be so mean?"
"Heh. Try generous!"
"Generous? How could playing with me be considered generous?"
"I didn't want to hurt you."
"Why?"
"FINE! You want to see what my full power is like then let's get this over with."
Jin prepared for an all out assault.
"I don't want to hurt you Julia. But this time I feel I have no choice."
Jin powered up for one last final attack.
"KAZAMA STOP!" Hwoarang shouted.
Jin looked at the red head.
"Say what?"
"If you attack her at full power now she'll die."
"I know. And I really don't want to hurt her but…"
"Then why? Why even bother?"
"She needs to learn. Learn what real pain is like."
"Stop this."
Jin looked at Julia. Her eyes were wide with terror.
"I'm sorry about this… It's over."
Jin punched Julia and she fell right out of the ring.
The announcer walked froward.
"And Jin Kazama is the winner." He said in shock.
Jin hopped down out of the ring and went to Julia's side.
"Are you okay?" he asked.
"Get away form me." Julia pushed him away and walked off.
For a moment Jin starred after her.
So this is what it's like. I guess it really is better to have loved and lost. Than to have never loved at all.
