Tekken 24
Disclaimer: Don't own "24" or "Tekken".
The following takes place between 4:00 pm and 5:00 pm.
Events occur in real time.
4:00:00- Hwoarang's SUV raced down the road. The streets were becoming more crowded as the evening began. Nighttime traffic could be hazardous in Tokyo. Subways shut down, as do busses. But the people are still out and about, with nothing but taxis to usually do the duty in the public transportation department.
Hwoarang loved to speed. The thrill of weaving in and out of traffic was amazing. He loved the rush of adrenaline, especially in a fight. Nothing beat the rush of hand-to-hand combat, but every once in a while, they was a shortcut to the rush. Today, he was getting that rush at least a half dozen times so far.
Jin didn't like that rush, however. He was more of a man who likes to stay in the background, calm and collective. Right now, his knuckles were white as he clucked the seat.
The phone on the dash rang. Hwoarang didn't pay too much attention to it, trying to get to the mall before anything happened to Julia, whose whereabouts over the past three hours were questionable.
Hwoarang heard from Wallace that there was blood on the bathroom door. There was a shell casing on the floor from whoever shot her. If it was a head shot, she should be dead. But the Combot back at the morgue proved otherwise.
Jin carefully reached over to the phone, turning it on. Hwoarang was waiting for Jin to do something.
"Yeah?" Hwoarang said.
"Hwoarang, its Wallace." He said.
"I was about to call." Hwoarang said.
"Well, we had Branch run a quick diagnostics test on the robot." He said.
"Already? We left there like five minutes ago." Hwoarang said.
"As I said, quick. He found out that the robot had never been activated up until about six hours ago." Wallace said.
"And what does that mean?" Hwoarang asked.
"I don't know, but he said it was in some sort of dormant mode. I imagine it's waiting for an incoming signal before it does anything." Wallace said.
"That doesn't sound good."
"I agree. We're bringing the robot here to the HQ. We'll keep it locked up and under surveillance." Wallace said.
"Good. You should know we got a call from Julia Chang." Hwoarang said.
"My god. Did she say what happened?"
"No. She was scared. Sounded like she was being watched, but she somehow managed to get to a phone. I tracked it down to the Takagagi Mall near the edge of the city, we're headed there now." Hwoarang said.
"I'll get a team over there for backup." Wallace said.
"Yeah, I'd appreciate that." Hwoarang said, hanging up.
4:05:46- Heihachi was at his desk when a side panel on the wall opened, and in walked Kazuya.
Kazuya had to have been busy. He looked like a vampire. There was blood all over his mouth and chin. He took the towel he had in his hand and wiped himself off.
"I trust the matter has been taken care of." Heihachi said.
"Yes. It has. What about her?" Kazuya asked.
"Don't worry about her. I have her waiting at a local mall. You were right. She was the perfect bait." Heihachi said.
"I told you she was. What about the trackers?"
"It's working perfectly. Hwoarang is about twenty minutes away with traffic. I've got somebody waiting there for them." Heihachi said.
"Anna?" Kazuya asked.
"Yes. She'll be waiting for them. I told her a minute ago the plan. We want Jin unharmed. Deal with Hwoarang and make sure he never leaves. For the amount of money she's getting, she should be able to do it." Heihachi said, getting up from his desk and going to the door. Kazuya turned to face him.
"What now?" he asked.
"I have a tour of the new labs in about an hour. I must get ready. The new models should be finished." Heihachi said.
"Does anybody know about me?" Kazuya asked.
"Nobody but you and me now." Heihachi said, walking out of the office.
4:11:55- Wallace walked back to his office to hear his computer beeping. Yes! He was in. He wasn't sure if it would work, but it looks like it did.
He hit a few keys and a box popped up, showing various security camera images. The images were being produced from inside the Mishima Zaibatsu building.
Wallace was afraid of doing this, but some of him loved this stuff. He knew how ruthless the Zaibatsu was, and what could happen to him if they knew he was doing this. It didn't matter who he worked for. He would be a dead man if they found this.
He had implanted a worm in their computer system. It was pretty ingenious.
He stared at the images and scrolled through many of them. At least half were of normal offices and other parts of the building. Wallace was looking for the executive offices. Then he found them. He clicked on the first one he found.
The image was supposed to be of Lee Chaolan's office, but it was nothing but static. He rewound it back an hour and finally got an image of the office, only to see something move across the screen and then the image went to static. He rewound and played, this time in slow motion. He was able to see a gloved hand covered in flame destroy the camera.
He moved to the next image in the list. Heihachi's office was twice the size of Lee's and had two cameras, meaning two images. One came from the doorway to his private dojo and the other was set above the main door to the office. The images were still recording. He rewound to the last five minutes, skimming through the minutes Heihachi was spending at his desk. Then he saw the wall open. He didn't recognize the man at first, but then after he wiped the blood off his mouth, he recognized him.
"Gotcha." He said.
4:20:05- Nina Williams didn't know what to do with her. She was becoming troublesome. She fought Julia at the third tournament, and she was good. But who knew that some good fighters were really annoying little bitches.
Back at the labs, she shot her with a penetrating tranquilizer shot. But she didn't think the close rang would cause the blood to splatter on the door. The dart was made to drill into the skin and implant itself within the target's body. But somehow it must have malfunctioned, causing it to drill in her body, as well as out from the other side. She passed out thankfully, but the tranquilizer never stayed in. And because of that, she had to hear this.
She was worried. Lee should have called by now with instructions. Something wasn't right. She took out her phone and called his cell phone once more. After three rings, the machine picked up. Nothing.
It was useless. Maybe he was waiting for the right time to answer? No, that was a stupid thought. But just in case he was still breathing, she needed to kill Jin Kazama, like he paid for. Well, dead or alive, Lee was going to get his wish.
Right now, she was at Takagagi Mall in a storage room. It was her temporary hideout, away from Anna and Heihachi's men. She had brought Julia here earlier. She was safe from being discovered. She had the room booby-trapped with mines above the door. The password was a set of whistles that Nina herself had programmed. If anybody came in and didn't whistle the tune in three seconds, it would blow. It would have been impossible for Julia to escape with anybody; she was handcuffed to a pipe in the wall for extra protection.
Julia began to cry, seeing as she couldn't get out and Nina was beginning to leave the room. Nina walked over to her and punched her in the face, knocking her out. At least that shut her up for a while.
4:26:31- Hwoarang was about five minutes away from the mall when his phone rang again. It was Wallace.
"Yeah." He said.
"I found something." Wallace said.
"What?"
"Remember when you told me to keep an eye on Heihachi?" Wallace asked.
"Yeah?" Hwoarang asked.
"Well, I put a worm in their computer system."
"You what?"
"A put a worm in their system. And it worked!" Wallace said.
"My god. Do you know what'll happen if they find that?" Hwoarang said, almost yelling into the phone.
"I'd worry about what I found. Guess who Heihachi has working for him?" Wallace said.
"Who?"
"Kazuya Mishima."
"Jesus fucking Christ." Hwoarang said.
"I know. I don't know what they were up to. But Kazuya had a bunch of blood on his mouth when he popped into the image."
"Okay. Keep searching and be careful. You find anything, tell me." Hwaorang said.
"I'm already on it." Wallace said, hanging up.
Hwoarang turned to Jin, who looked like he was beginning to fall asleep.
"Jin!" he yelled.
Jin woke up. He wasn't startled at all.
"What?" Jin asked.
"You said you're father came back after coming into contact with the virus, where did he go when he came back?" Hwoarang asked.
"He moved to the mountains, saying he needed to meditate in order to fight the virus." Jin said.
"That's the worst bullshit lie I've ever heard." Hwoarang said.
"Really?" Jin said.
"When was the last time Kazuya was known to meditate? He'd rather beat the crap out of you or Heihachi to fight a cold." Hwoarang replied.
"Never thought about it that way." Jin said.
"Figures."
Hwoarang pulled into the garage of the mall, the teams up ahead, gearing up.
4:32:17- Anna thought Heihachi was a fucking genius. When Hwoarang and Jin crashed earlier, Heihachi had his doctor implant tracking devices into their skin. They wouldn't even notice, and neither would anyone else.
She was near the Takagagi Mall, and she knew what she had to do. Killing Hwoarang would be easy enough. Getting away from his backup or from Jin Kazama would be the tough part. After her first shot fired, she would be revealed. She knew her escape routes, and nobody would stop her from using them.
Coming into the back of the lot, she looked across the street at the parking deck. She could see Hwoarang and thought that maybe she could take him here.
But then she saw that he had backup, and plenty of it. There were two teams of four each. If she killed him now, and tried to drive away, the two teams would be in pursuit of her like a cop chases a bank robber.
She would have to take this inside. She got into the trunk of her car and loaded a 9mm pistol. She also took two throwing knives in case she really needed to sneak around, and hey, she just might be able to use them on the target. That would be fun.
She strapped the 9mm onto her ankle, the knives up her sleeves. She went back into the trunk for her main weapon, a bolt-action rifle with a scope. Heihachi had provided the weapons and the car, and she didn't care. As long as she had the weapons and the means of escape, she was happy. She checked the scope of the gun, and when she was happy with its magnification, she put it back. Loading one shot into the chamber, she pulled back the bolt, and hit forward. She was cocked, locked, and ready to rock.
4:37:49- Hwoarang walked up to the men in uniform, who looked more like a SWAT team than a high-tech military Delta team.
He went up to the primary man, the name "Henderson" was on his chest.
"What did the satellite get?" Hwoarang asked.
"I did a search of the structure myself and we found two red flags. The first one is on the second floor on our side of the mall; the second is in a maintenance closet towards the center on the first floor." Henderson said.
"We check them both. Let's get this thing going!" Hwoarang said.
The men all followed Hwoarang and Jin into the mall. Hwoarang held the device that Henderson showed him.
Hwoarang pointed the teams off toward the maintenance closet, while he and Jin would take the other one, which was inside a "Bath and Body Works" store that was directly in front of them. Jin walked on in, not convinced that Julia would be held in such a nice store. She would be here, but she'd be shopping, spending all of Jin's money.
Hwoarang came in behind him, not convinced, but not about to move on either. Must to the dislikes of the employees, Hwoarang moved into the back rooms of the store, just to prove that he had power.
4:43:38- Heihachi arrived at the labs. He was excited. He couldn't wait to see how many of them there were. His security force motioned him towards the elevators.
After a long ride down, Heihachi walked down a couple long halls, before reaching a conference room. Inside, a couple scientists sat at the table, working on computers.
"What have we got?" he said.
"Well, you'll be impressed, Mr. Mishima." A scientist said.
Heihachi was already impressed with how fast they wanted to show him their work. He was not only impressed, but very anxious.
"Will I?" he said, trying to play it cool.
"We've processed one million units as of today. The last few are coming off the assembly line now." Another scientist said.
"One million? My goodness." Heihachi said.
The scientists were waiting for the reaction that would probably set them up with money for the rest of their time.
Heihachi smiled.
"Show me."
A scientist hit a button, and the black shutters around the room disappeared, showing the showroom floor.
It was a huge factory at least five football fields wide, and about the same lengthwise. On the floor were one million Combots.
4:53:09- Henderson's team had come up to the door and noticed the booby trapped mine. They began to work on it.
4:54:00- Hwoarang began walking down the corridor on the second floor of the mall, trying to get to an escalator so he and Jin could check on the other location with Henderson and his men. Hwoarang knew something was up, he could tell. Two possible places in one huge mall. For all he knew, Julia could be bait. It was the best possible scenario. Even if she was here, this was the perfect place to make a hit. After a first shot fired, the crowds would run amok, and he would never get a shot off at the attacker.
Jin walked behind him. He was just following Hwoarang, hoping that Julia would be saved. After one year, she meant so much to him. If she died, he wouldn't know what to do. It would be like him losing his mother, Jun, all over again.
But he had no idea what was about to happen. Daydreaming really can get you killed. He didn't notice the blond woman walking right at him and Hwoarang, pulling out an Uzi. Hwoarang had ducked out of the way in time, but Jin had frozen. The multiple shots from the gun had hit him in the chest three times and once in the neck. He fell to the ground, struggling to breathe as the blood rushed into his mouth.
Hwoarang sprang into action as Nina jumped off the balcony behind her. Hwoarang looked off the balcony and saw that she landed on a small kiosk. Hwoarang made the same jump, landing the same way as she did.
Nina was running for the front doors, and she knew it was clear. She hit the double doors with extreme force, causing the people trying to open the doors to fly back onto the floor.
Anna stood at the same balcony Hwoarang had jumped off of and aimed her rifle. People were running everywhere at this point, but she had a clear shot of his head.
Nina was gone, but Hwoarang was about to give up on that.
Anna began to squeeze the trigger as an explosion came from underneath her. She fired, knowing it was off. But, the bullet still hit its target.
Hwoarang flew backwards, the bullet hitting him.
4:59:57. 4:59:58. 4:59:59. 5:00:00.
Author's note: The story is beginning to change, and it's also becoming harder to write. I was becoming used to pumping out a chapter a day, but now it might be a few days or so between chapters. But I do plan on taking this all the way. A full 24 chapters, baby. I've still got some killer twists coming up, but this was a good enough cliffhanger for now. I don't want to spoil anything! BTW, if you want an interesting soundtrack to go with this, I would have to say anything by Linkin Park. They rule!

BTW, if you want an interesting soundtrack to go with this, I would have to say anything by Linkin Park. They rule!
