LEGACY OF KMAS CHAPTER 15
A DESPERATE SEARCH
As he emerged from Dark Forest, he reminisced of a recent evengt,
"Who the hell gives these people, driver's licenses. God Damn…I can't believe that. After all I've been through, it woulda been kinda pathetic to get run down by a van".
EVENT: A SEARCH FOR TRUTH
TRACK: CRYSTAL TEARDROP (Castlevania: SOTN)
This man, with a blue hoodie, hiked along the highway. His quest was a simple one. He sought one man, one who held the answers to his life, one who could end his suffering, through his destruction. His sources, what little he had, had led him to believe that this being dwelled within these lands. He had searched through a forest wreathed in flames, the shambles of an abandoned suburbs and a city eclipsed in eternal darkness. But all had led him astray. No clues or traces could be found of whom he sought. After retracing his steps back through the roads…and nearly becoming road kill, he traversed the lands east of the Dark Woods.
As he walked along the highway north of the rural area, where Ken and Stu made their home, he noticed a silhouette coming owards him. It was a new structure to his eyes. It wasn't a skyscraper, tower, church or cave, as he had witnessed before…it was an odd building not yet witnessed. It was a gas station. But more importantly, there was food! For this place was called the GAS 'n' Dine! Though the man was probably far from achieving his goal, there was no denying the fact…
"I'm freaking starving".
He came to the diner and walked inside. The place was empty save for the mechanics and cooks. The outside looked like your average diner and gas station, but the inside belied the outer appearance indeed. The rooms were more fancy and ritzy than any could imagine. Pallets of Regal Blue, Pure Red, Gold and White surrounded the wonderful are. There were dining halls and a dining counter/bar as well. He removed his hood and decided to sit at the counter. He sensed that the people were eyeing him. He had not really met anyone during his journey, especially during his travels through the abandoned suburbs. It was rather heartening to know that was some life in these lands. But it was odd how these people looked at him. They weren't threatening looks or hateful glares. They were gazes of awe and shock as if he were someone famous. A man came over to take his order.
"What d'ya have mack?" he said
"Do you have any specials?" the formerly hooded man spoke.
"We have…"" He looked up as he said this "Oh God! I'm sorry sir. I had no idea it was you!"
The man was intrigued in the sudden courtesy of the cashier. He had no idea for whom he had been mistaken for, but since he was in the mood for some good service, he decided to go along with it.
"It's quite alright. Could you please tell me your specials?"
"We have BBQ steak sirloin, Chicken fried burger with all the trimmings, Chicken ala King, Fried Chicken with choice of a honey mustard or BBQ simmer and glaze, Divine Beef Wellington, and sushi platter which comes with a shrimp basket. Our soups of the day are Wan Ton, Chicken noodle, Clam chowder and Beef. The salads include Italian, thousand island and or French dressing".
This was quite a variety of selections this restaurant had accommodated. And these were only the specials.
"So what will your pleasure be, Mr. Mishima?"
The man froze immediately at the mistaken identity.
"Wha…what did you say?"
"Mishima? Sir? You are Kazuya Mishima aren't ya?"
"No I am not. I apologize" the man spoke.
"I shoulda known. I knew you looked a little different…Wait! You're not…Jin Kazama are you?"
"Yes, that is correct" he acknowledged.
"Well at least I still have a tournament champion here!" he proudly said.
Jin smiled in appreciation of the compliment.
"So what are you doing here?" continued the waiter.
"I'm looking for answers. My father alone can give me them".
"Well it would be kinda hard to find him. No one's seen him since the tournament. I heard he was probably hear so I've been hoping to catch a glimpse of him at least".
"Yes I've searched all through these lands and haven't found a trace"
"Can I ask a question? What happened at the last tournament?"
"Well…"
Jin reluctantly told the waiter his tragic story, starting with the death of his mother, Jun Kazama, by Ogre's hands. He continued with his revenge against the God of Fighting in the King of Iron Fist III and the betrayal of Heihachi resulting in the emergence of Devil within him. His renouncing of the Mishima heritage, About discovering his father Kazuya. How Heihachi kidnapped and chained him in an unknown realm. How Kazuya defeated him in the tournament and the destruction of the Zaibatsu. And of his current goals to seek him out.
"Well I wish there was a way I could help ya, but like I said no one's ever seen him since".
"Well it was worth a try"
"Hey buddy, come over here" said a mechanic at a table.
Jin stood and approached the stranger.
"You said you looked all over these lands?"
"Yes"
"Did you try up north of here?"
"No, I didn't know there was anything there"
"Not much folks do. Up there is the city of Goddsand. It's quite a lively city maybe you'll find sumthin there".
Although it seemed farfetched and a long shot, it was the best lead Jin had through his quest.
"Thank you sir" he said as he rushed for the door. But a discomforting rumble remained in his stomach as he returned to the counter.
"Can I get the BBQ Sirloin please?"
"Coming up!"
Jin sat and possible consequences of traveling to this unknown location. What would he do if nothing was there. Even if Kazuya dwelled there, how would he go about it. The tournament was only a few months ago, so Kazuya would remember and would probably have the same intention to kill him. But whatever the case, Jin had to face his father one more time.
"I apologize for deceiving you earlier sir" Jin said.
"Ah don't worry about it! You probably needed some good service if you truly were out there goin to all them places".
"Yes. If I may ask, what happened here?"
"Well these lands used to be very life filled and vibrant. Some places still are but not many. Not to long ago Heihachi came here and said he was looking for a new place to build his company. I guess what you said, was the reason why"
"Wait. Heihachi? I thought he was dead?"
"I thought so to until I heard he was here too. Last I heard, he built his company on an island northeast off the coast of Goddsand".
Jin could not believe it. Now both Heihachi and Kazuya were at large. Two figures responsible for the havoc and chaos in his life. The devilish nightmares which plagued his nights were the results of the demon bestowed by is father and the fury from his grandfather's betrayal. With these thoughts haunting his mind Jin now had newly fueled anger in his heart which strengthened his resolve…Heihachi and Kazuya had to die…
The waiter returned. "Here you go Mr. Kazama. It's on the house!"
"Thank you for your kindness sir. I appreciate it" he said as he began to eat.
