Author's note: I'm sorry for taking so flippin' long to update, but I've
just been stumped about how I should write this. I was even thinking about
stopping the fic, but you guys and your reviews have been what's keeping it
alive. Take note that this fic will be laid out in the style of an actual
game.
Chapter 2: Miharu
Miharu entered the tournament as quickly as she could. She knew Xiaoyu's life was in danger, and Miharu would do anything to ensure her friend's safety. The day after she applied, the tournament started. With the confidence of saving Xiaoyu, Miharu plowed her way through the competition, beating Hwoarang, Lei, Marshall and King respectively. Soon, Miharu had reached her fifth fight. She was halfway through the tournament.
(Fight 5: Miharu vs. Julia)
Miharu glanced around the arena she was standing in. The forest she was in looked almost too lush and beautiful to be a fighting arena.
The teenage schoolgirl sighed. She was already halfway through the tournament, and she still hadn't found out who had informed her about Xiaoyu's abduction. She hoped that she'd find him or her before she either got to the end or lost in a fight.
Miharu was brought out of her thoughts when she heard a twig snapping. She spun around, striking a fighting stance. Her eyes widened when she saw a young woman with long, brown hair dressed in a blue denim office suit, standing several feet in front of her.
"J-Julia?!" Miharu said wide-eyed.
"Well. If it isn't Miharu." Julia said with a smile. "I'm surprised a newcomer like you actually made it this far."
"I have confidence, Julia." Miharu explained. "My reason for entering is beyond what you could imagine."
"Really?" Julia asked, clearly interested. "What IS your reason for entering?"
"I can't tell you now." Miharu said, lowering her head. "If I tell you before we fight, you'll probably just let me win."
Miharu looked at Julia. She looked like she was thinking what Miharu had said over. After she thought for a few seconds, Julia cracked a grin. "Alright." She said. "Let's fight, then. You can tell me your reason afterwards."
Miharu's eyes sprang open. "What?! Julia, you're my friend! What would happen if I hurt you?!" She cried.
"It's alright, Miharu." Julia laughed. "If I get hurt, I won't blame you. I'm just dying to know why you entered the tournament." Before Miharu had time to react, Julia got into a stance.
Miharu gulped. She didn't want to hurt her friend, but if it was for Xiaoyu, she'd do it. Miharu put up her fists and prepared to fight her friend.
(AFTER BATTLE)
Miharu thrust her fist out one final time, catching Julia in the stomach. Gasping for air, Julia collapsed to her knees, clutching her stomach with her left hand and using her right hand to prop herself up.
Realizing what she had just done, Miharu gasped in horror as she covered her mouth. In the blink of an eye, Miharu was at Julia's side, helping her to her feet.
"Julia, I'm so sorry!" Miharu cried frantically. "Are you okay?!"
"I-I'm fine." Julia said, still trying to catch her breath. "I just never knew you could pack such a punch."
Julia turned to Miharu and smiled. "You're good, Miharu. I didn't even hold back. I'd say that your chances of winning the tournament are pretty good." She paused for a few seconds. "Now, can you please tell me why you're entering the tournament?"
Miharu sighed. "Heihachi betrayed Xiao and kidnapped her." She said. "Someone sent me an invitation, but I still have no idea who."
Julia's eyes sprang open in shock. "What?! That freak kidnapped Xiaoyu?!" She exclaimed.
Miharu slowly nodded. "I'm afraid so." She looked back at Julia. "That's why I entered the tournament, and that's also why I need to continue in the tournament."
Julia kindly placed her hand on Miharu's shoulder. "Don't worry, Miharu. I'll help." She stated. "King and I are going to attempt to destroy Dr. Abel's bio weapon, so while we're doing that, you'll have no trouble finding Xiaoyu."
Miharu looked up at Julia and managed a smile. "Thanks, Julia."
Miharu continued through the tournament, managing to beat Roger, Jack and Steve. Soon, the confident schoolgirl arrived at the finals.
(Fight 8: Miharu vs. Kazuya)
It was nighttime. Miharu stood on the rooftop of a tall skyscraper, waiting for her opponent to arrive. Miharu shivered as she wrapped her arms around herself. Up this high, the air was very cold. It made Miharu wish she had worn something other than her school uniform.
"I sure hope my opponent arrives soon." Miharu muttered. "The sooner they arrive, the sooner I can get off this roof."
"Well, you won't have to wait long." A voice replied.
Miharu spun around, finding herself staring at an adult male with black hair, a collared shirt, black pants and shades. Miharu's eyes widened.
"K-Kazuya Mishima!" Miharu said, not able to believe she was about to fight the son of the man that had abducted her best friend.
Kazuya cracked a smile. "That's my name." He said.
Suddenly, Miharu's eyes narrowed. "Wait a minute! You were in on this, were you?!" Miharu was obviously under the impression that Kazuya, being the son of Xiao's abductor, had helped Heihachi kidnap Xiaoyu. She was unaware of the fact that Kazuya was actually the one who informed her of the whole ordeal. Miharu put up her fists. "Come on! Let's fight!" She shouted, ignoring the frigid air blowing around her. "Once I beat you, I'll get all the information I need!"
Kazuya's smirk got a little bigger as he too put up his fists. "You have determination, girl." He said. "Let's see what you've got."
(AFTER BATTLE)
An angry Miharu plunged her foot into Kazuya's stomach, sending him flying backwards several feet, and he probably would've gone farther if the stone structure wasn't in the way, sticking out of the roof. Miharu stormed over to her defeated opponent, grabbed him by the collar of his shirt and stared him in the eyes.
"Now, you're gonna tell me what I need to know!" Miharu growled. "What've you done with Xiaoyu?!"
Suddenly, much to Miharu's surprise, Kazuya started laughing. "Is that why you were so angry when we fought?" Kazuya asked. He stopped laughing and returned his voice to his deep, cold voice. "You see, I didn't abduct your friend. I was the one who sent you the letter and invitation."
Miharu's anger faded instantly, her eyes widening just as fast. "So, you didn't help your father kidnap Xiao?" She asked.
"Help Heihachi?" Kazuya asked. He suddenly started laughing again. "Why would I do that?" He said in between laughs. "I hate him!"
Miharu was convinced Kazuya had nothing to do with this, so she released him. "Forgive me for jumping to conclusions." She said, feeling a little embarrassed.
Kazuya smirked. "I actually enjoyed the fight." He said. "You fight well, girl. And coming from me, that's a compliment. The only one who's ever been able to fight me the way you have was Jin." He paused, narrowing his eyes. "But that's not what you have to worry about right now."
Miharu's eyes widened, suddenly remembering Xiaoyu. "You're right, Mr. Mishima! I need to penetrate the Mishima Zabatsu!"
(Fight 9: Miharu vs. Heihachi)
Running through Heihachi's headquarters, Miharu quickly noticed that Julia wasn't kidding when she said that she and King would create a distraction. She encountered almost no guards during her search.
Miharu soon arrived at a locked door with a window built into it. Wanting to see what was on the other side of the door, Miharu peered through the window. The room was much larger than expected. It was big enough to be a fighting arena. There were a few statues scattered around the room, but other than that, the room was empty. Well, almost empty. Miharu's attention was drawn to the small figure on the floor in the middle of the room, lying on her side. The girl's hands were bound behind her back, and her ankles were bound in a similar fashion. A strip of tape was placed across her mouth to prevent her from crying for help. Miharu's eyes widened, immediately recognizing the girl.
"XIAO!"
Miharu pulled a hairpin from her hair and jammed it into the keyhole on the door. She quickly unlocked the door and rushed in.
The orange-haired girl ran over to her friend as fast as she could. As Miharu kneeled beside her friend, Xiaoyu started letting out muffled attempts at talking, obviously trying to tell Miharu something.
"What is it, Xiao?" Miharu asked. She dug her fingers underneath the tape over Xiaoyu's mouth and quickly but gently pulled it off.
Once her mouth was free, Xiaoyu shouted what she had been trying to say. "It's a trap!"
Almost instantly, the door Miharu had just come through shut by itself and locked, trapping both schoolgirls in the room.
Suddenly, Miharu and Xiaoyu heard a deep, evil laugh that seemed to come from everywhere. Miharu quickly untied Xiaoyu's hands and stood up to looked around for the source of the voice. Xiaoyu untied her ankles and did the same.
After looking around a few times, both friends finally found the source of the voice. The watched as an old man stepped out of the shadows.
Miharu growled as she put up her fists. She said the name of the man with as much hatred as she could.
"Heihachi Mishima."
Heihachi grinned. "I'm impressed you've made it this far, girl." He said. "In fact, I was expecting Jin or that renegade son of mine."
Miharu growled louder, as if she didn't hear a word, Heihachi said. "You're gonna pay for what you did to Xiao!"
(AFTER BATTLE/Final battle)
Engulfed with enough rage to make even Jin transform, Miharu delivered the final blow, sending Heihachi to the floor. The old man lay on the floor, unmoving.
Miharu didn't bother to check and see if he was still alive. She wouldn't care if Heihachi died. She looked away from her opponent and back at Xiaoyu. Miharu was surprised to see not only Xiaoyu, but Jin and Bruce trying to comfort her. Jin had his arms wrapped around the sobbing Xiaoyu, who was rambling on about how scared she was. Miharu rushed towards her friend, who saw her coming. Immediately, Xiaoyu broke from Jin's grip and embraced her friend.
"Miharu, you can't BELIEVE how glad I am to see you!" Xiaoyu explained.
"It's alright, Xiao." Miharu replied. "You didn't REALLY think I'd let my best friend down, would you?"
Suddenly, everyone heard a light chuckle coming from Heihachi. Miharu, Jin, Bruce and Xiaoyu turned to the fallen man and watched as he slowly got to his feet, his laughter increasing.
"I've underestimated you, girl." Heihachi said to Miharu. "You're much better than I thought."
Miharu put up her fists, followed by Jin and Bruce. "When I've got determination, how can I lose?!"
Heihachi continued laughing, louder than ever. "You may have defeated me, but I STILL have the last laugh!"
Miharu raised an eyebrow. "What do you mean?"
"Your friends Julia Chang and King were trying to destroy what my new machine was creating," Heihachi said with a grin. "but they were just a little too late."
Suddenly, the four fighters heard a low growl. They all found themselves turning to an enormous door, which was opening quickly. After the door opened completely, a huge, hulking monster lumbered into the room. Jin and Bruce's eyes widened in shock, both recognizing the furry head and snake- like right arm.
"Ogre." They both said, still in shock.
Miharu narrowed her eyes. She looked unafraid, but inside, she was screaming in horror. In the end, her bravery won out. She came this far. She figured that she might as well go all the way.
"I'll take it." She said, running from Xiaoyu, towards the huge monster.
(ENDING)
Miharu leapt into the air, bringing her foot up to hit Ogre underneath its chin. Ogre staggered back from the final blow, attempting to recover. Once the monster recovered, it stared at Miharu, growling angrily.
Thinking that all her attacks were in vain, Miharu started backing away from Ogre, her face masked with horror. Soon, Miharu ran out of room and ended up backing against a wall. Ogre stuck its snake arm up to her face, preparing to deliver the final blow. Miharu, not baring to watch, closed her eyes and waited.
Suddenly, a beam of light sprouted from Ogre's side. This made the monster pull his arm away from Miharu. Miharu opened her eyes and watched as light erupted from all over Ogre's body.
"It's gonna blow!" Jin shouted, remembering what happened the last time he encountered Ogre.
Hearing Jin, Miharu rushed from the wall, racing out the door she came through, following Jin, Xiaoyu and Bruce.
No one had noticed Heihachi escape through another door.
One by one, all the fighters who were inside Heihachi's headquarters were starting to notice the walls beginning to crumble. They all ran off to escape through the main entrance. Bryan, Kazuya, Yoshimitsu, Nina, Steve, Julia, King, Tiger, Lei and Jack, who was carrying Jane, all ran out the door, followed closely by Jin, Bruce, Xiaoyu and Miharu.
After the last fighter had rushed out the door, the base went up in a mushroom cloud of an explosion.

Miharu cheerfully walked through the halls of her school, having a chat with three of her friends. She had just finished telling them her story, and once she was finished, all three of her friends were wide eyed.
"All that REALLY happened?" One friend asked.
"Is that really why Xiao didn't hang out with us a couple days ago?" A second asked.
"I swear that everything I've told you guys is true!" Miharu stated.
"And I can back up her story!" A voice replied.
Everyone turned around to see a cheery Xiaoyu rushing over to them. Miharu smiled. "Hey, Xiao! How're you feeling?"
"Much better now that I've gotten away from Heihachi." Xiaoyu said with a chuckle. She walked over to Miharu and gave her a hug. "Thanks for everything, Miharu. I don't know what would've happened if you didn't come."
"Xiao, you're my best friend." Miharu said, returning the embrace. "You can bet ANYTHING that I'd show up."
"Hey, I've got an idea!" One of the other girls said. Everyone, even Miharu and Xiaoyu, turned to her. "Why don't we celebrate by going to the movies tonight?"
Instantly, everyone's eyes brightened. "That's a great idea!" Xiaoyu said. "I hear they're playing the new Ayumi Tachibana movie!"
Miharu smiled. It was great to have her life back to normal.
