Chapter One: The Alpha And The Omega
Koori No Miko: Hey guys! This is my first, so please R&R!!! The couple maybe ABSOLUTELY far-fetched, but that's what fanfics are for, right??? Anyway...
Author's Note: This fanfic takes place right after Tekken 4. I'm not sure of what's going to happen in Tekken 5, so I based my story after Tekken Four.
The desolate forest that concealed the Honmaru seemed eerie and silent that night. The usual birdcalls that rang through it were surprisingly absent that night. Only the foreboding silence was there, wrapped around the forest like a fog. The only other difference in the peaceful scenery was a rather large winged-figure sitting on one of the treetops. The figure could be mistaken by onlookers as something supernatural. Indeed it was, but the word 'supernatural' could only be used to describe one part of it. The other was perfectly normal. For the lone figure sitting quietly on the treetop was only a young man named Jin Kazama.
"This is crazy", he murmured in a low voice. "It's far worse than anything I've ever encountered in my life. Meeting face-to-face with those traitors..."
He closed his eyes, as if that simple action could vanquish all the suffering tearing through his heart. Apparently, just closing his eyes wasn't going to be enough.
Who am I?he thought. WHAT am I???
He began to remember what happened in his past. When he was fifteen, his mother Jun Kazama was murdered by the fighting god named Toshin. Revenge for that incident was what persuaded him to begin his life as a martial artist. Heeding his mother's instructions, he went immediately to his grandfather, Heihachi Mishima. Heihachi had listened to his tale and trained him in the Mishima-ryu style of karate. He had an almost perfect life then, living in the lap of luxury and attending classes at the Mishima High School. On his 19th birthday, Heihachi had declared the opening of The King Of Iron Fist Tournament Three. He had fought many formidable fighters in that competition, which was created in order to lure Toshin to Jin. But the tables turned at the end of the tournament. He found out Heihachi's true intention for keeping him. Jin discovered the existence of something called the devil gene in his anatomy. The reason was simple. Heihachi had found a blood sample of the entity called Ogre, which was his key to ruling the world. But to create that ultimate power, he had to merge Ogre's blood sample with the devil cell, something that he did not have. Something exclusive only to his son, Kazuya Mishima, and his grandson Jin. Upon knowing this, Jin escaped and lived in seclusion in Brisbane, Australia. There, he unlearned the Mishima-ryu style of karate and mastered the traditional art of karate thanks to a dojo master. But Heihachi decided to play god once again. Jin found out an announcement for The King Of Iron Fist Tournament Four. He hardened his resolve to enter and vowed to destroy the entire Mishima lineage. Still, fate intervened once more. He was captured by Heihachi's Tekken Force members and trapped at the Honmaru right after his last battle. There, he had engaged in duels with both Heihachi and his father. He had defeated both of them without much difficulty. During his clash with Heihachi, black wings sprouted from his back, signaling the influence of the devil gene. When he was about to finish off Heihachi, a vision of his deceased mother suddenly appeared. Feeling shamed, Jin let the subject drop and simply flew away. Now, he was here, contemplating on his life.
"Life is never a path strewn with roses", he sighed. "Mine is like a path strewn with cobblestones. Or maybe nails and knives would be more appropriate".
He hopped off the tree branch and landed lightly on the forest floor. He closed his eyes again and willed his human form to return. Slowly, his wings vanished, leaving only the normalcy of his body. He walked over to a stream and glanced at his reflection. A handsome young man with jet-black hair spiked at the back and long bangs that fell sexily over his eyes was staring back again. He had dark brown eyes that carried a pained and anguished look in them. His well-toned body and six-pack abs were results from massive training over the years.
I look just like him, he thought bitterly, remembering Kazuya.
He threw a stone into the stream in disgust. The impact destroyed his reflection, causing the rippling water to distort it. After a while, the water became stagnant again.
"Where do I go now?" he asked himself, staring up into the starless sky.
There was nothing waiting for him anywhere. But he was only twenty-one and had a lot ahead of him. He had to create his own future for the sake of his mother.
"She'd be so disappointed in me if she would see me now", he sighed, inclining his head in reverence to his mother. "I'm sorry, mom. I failed you already".
Suddenly, his thoughts turned back to the devil gene. Why did only he and his father possess it? Why did Heihachi not have it? What was its origin? Where did it come from?
What a fool I am, he thought, kicking a tree trunk. I can't even answer my own damned question, so what's the use of thinking about this crap?
But a voice in his head told him that the devil gene was part of who he was. He couldn't just throw that part of him away without knowing its origin. He couldn't give up. Not now. Not ever.
"Yeah", he said softly.
For the first time in three years, a faint light began to gleam in his brown eyes.
"I can never run away from who I am", he declared in a quiet but determined voice.
No matter how much he loathed the Mishimas and the devil gene in his blood, he had to face the fact that they were challenges he had to overcome. Hatred would never solve anything. Especially the one truth that hurt Jin the most.
"Only we have the devil gene", he murmured, Kazuya's face invading his mind again. "That demon is the alpha...and I, his son, am the omega".
So, how do you guys like it??? Sorry if it's short, I never make first chapters long. I hope you like my use of the English language, though. I tried to make it sound deep. Anyway, there's more to the story, so keep reading! Sayonara, minna-san!!! Jin-sama RULES FOREVER!!!!! sighs dreamily
