LEGACY OF KMAS CHAPTER 18
A PLAN UNFOLDS

EVENT: THE AFTERMATH OF FAILURE
TRACK: SHIN-RA CORPORATION (FFVII)

The General returned to his quarters. It had indeed been a stressful few days for him. This was not brought on because of the hunt for the KMAS or of Heihachi's warnings, but because of one being that roamed the lands outside of this isolated fortress, a being who was of great impact on the stressful General's life, one who incurred the utmost hatred of the Tekken Force leader, and one who of all people had to remain alive for his master's purposes. The General knew he was out there somewhere along with his other accursed brood and their disgraceful leader Kazuya. He also knew that this being had the same if not more feelings for the General in return. Regardless, General Beng knew that DevilKaz was out there. And he knew that the inevitable event of encounter was fast at hand. It brought some comfort to Beng that he would finally be able to vanquish his foe once and for all, but the fear of his own death still weighed heavy on his heart. For t had been years since the two had last seen each other and without knowledge of improvement the General would be fighting blind. But the same could be said for DevilKaz, he thought to himself. Indeed, when the conflict took place, it would be one of monumental chaos and destruction.

But now it was finally a time where the General could take his mind off all this. He entered is chambers as he did every moment at this hour. It was rather early in the morning and near inconceivable to think that anyone could actually start to rest at this hour. But when you're the leader of a grand force of militia like Beng was, just an extra minute of rest would be a blessing. The General's chambers were that of a glorious throne room. A crimson carpet greeted his entrance and led him through his decorated hallway of paintings and windows draped of similar color. And at the end of the hall was a grand circular room. This room consisted of seven doorways. The first six were passages which led to he rest of the Big Seven's Chambers. An imprint of their respective elements was emblazed upon each door. And above the doors were monitors that would serve as a visual communicator, between a Seven member and their General, At the end of the throne room stair case that led to the throne where the General made his area of living. Behind and to the right of this throne was the seventh door that led to his master Heihachi's chambers. Being the personal body guard and right hand man to such a prestigious man usually meant you had to guard the one and only door leading to him. Even if you had to live next to it. Such dedication would be admirable to most human beings.

The General climbed the staircase and sat in his throne. He leaned back in a comfortable position and finally was able to enjoy this time of relaxation. He rested his eyes and began to drift of into a welcoming slumber. But just as easily as he fell into it, he was pulled unwillingly from it from a loud, yet familiar beeping noise. He rose angrily and walked to the source of this nuisance. He walked down to the chamber doors and stood in front of a golden door with a lightning bolt upon it's surface. He signaled the beeping monitor to turn on and within seconds the vision of the Seven member appeared.

"What reason have you to disturb me at this hour, Major Electashock?" the angered General demanded.

"I'm sorry for the interruption sir. But I must inform you. My entire Super Force Squadron was completely annihilated!" said the Major.

"What are you talking about?" Beng asked rather curiously.

"My platoon which I sent to deal with the two KMAS members sir. The experimental soldiers, they are all dead!"

"How can that be? No pain can ever be inflicted upon them! And death is impossible even if you stab them in the heart!"

"But sir, my scouts just confirmed it. All seventy-five members were found dead across the Suburbs of Dark City! There was certainly a battle but from the looks of the soldier's corpses they were pretty severe wounds upon them!"

"You are trying my patience Major! It's bad enough I have to take the rap for your and the rest of the Seven's constant failures! But hearing the failures of our master's greatest experiments is NOT SOMETHING I'M PREPARED TO EXPLAIN!!!!"

"Then don't" said a voice from behind him.

The General turned and saw his master, Heihachi standing before him. Heihachi was rather displeased to hear he recent news. Yet he was strangely calm. He walked by the General and posed a rather strange question to the Major.

"Tell me, what were the skin tones of the soldiers, Major?" Heihachi asked

"Sir, why do you want to know that?" General Beng asked

"Silence General. You've already ruined my day by waking me and with the news of my Super Soldiers deaths. Insubordination would not be very wise at this point! I ask again, Major, what were their skin tones".

"Well a report states that the soldiers skins were as white as a sheet as if the life was sucked right out of them!"

"Ha, ha, ha! As I thought! Everything is coming together perfectly!"

"Sir, is it right to be so confident" the Major continued "You're mightest foot soldiers were completely mutilated and the KMAS may be approaching sir!"

"Believe me Major I know what I'm doing! Thank you for the information you are dismissed"

General Beng turned off the monitor and asked his leader…

"Sir with all do respect. Why did you take that so well?"

"Let's just say my plan is coming together more perfectly then I could possibly imagine. I'll tell you this now, it was DevilKaz who was responsible for the soldiers deaths! Him and that infernal sword of his was the only thing that could so easily overcome such opposition. And with his fusion with the Devil Gene, it made him all the more likely to destroy them".

"Ah yes, the Devil Gene! Such an honorable advantage" said Beng sarcastically.

"Yes, I know what you mean" said Heihachi

"I still don't understand sir. You've proven on occasion that a normal human can overcome the Devil Gene. Why are you so obsessed with finding it?"

"Power is great but greater power is even greater" spoke the Zaibatsu owner.

"I see"

"Yes. Oh and by the way, you're working over time so get yourself together. We're going on a little trip".

Heihachi pulled a cellphone from his pocket and spoke into it.

"Reiko? Have the chopper ready for departure in half an hour, General Beng and myself will be arriving shortly" he said and then hung up.

"Sir where are we going?" said the General.

"To the Research and Biological Facility" answered Heihachi.

"Ah, you wish to improve the soldiers sir?"

"To hell with the super soldiers! They are well enough to destroy anything! It is time to initiate the final stage of my plan and ensure my victory once and for all. I'll explain on the way. And General, this is a crucial part of the plan. If anything goes wrong for any reason I'm going to have your position and your life! Do you understand?"

"Yes sir…"

"Good now go make sure the chopper is ready! Dismissed!"

The General left his chambers…as well as any hope of getting sleep and went to the Zaibatsu chopper.
