LEGACY OF KMAS CHAPTER 32
DISTURBING TRUTHS AND AN UNEXPECTED ARRIVAL
EVENT: SPOILS OF VICTORY AND THE TRUTH
TRACK: THE SHIN-RA CORPORATION (FFVII)
"It is indeed a lovely sword" Heihachi grinned as he twirled the Reaver point down on the floor.
Heihachi had once again seated himself at his desk and had DevilKaz's armory right in front of him. The Sparda sword was laid out across the whole of the desk and Ebony and Ivory were placed right near its monstrous form.
"Yes, it was indeed quite a find when I and DevilKaz first looked upon it" the General commented.
"Ah yes, you two used to be pals in that business, that's when I hired you two to find the Reaver wasn't it?"
"Yes I believe it was"
"By the way, whatever happened to the other object? That amulet that was located near the Reaver?"
"Oh you mean Sparda's amulet?"
"Yes, that was part of my bargain to let you have that in exchange for the Reaver"
"It's here, in a true sense"
"What do you mean?"
"Well the true power of Sparda's amulet is when it is instilled within a weapon. DevilKaz tried to hide it within his sword while he fled with the Reaver that day"
"I see. Can it ever be retrieved or extracted afterwards?"
"Oh yes, it can. It's quite simple really. Just watch" the General said as he picked up the giant sword. He turned it side ways and placed his hands on a large crimson area of the demon sword. Using simple force he began to pull the spot out of the sword and as he did the sword began to rapidly deform. Its large curve thinned and shrunk to nothing but a regular blade and its hilt was also lessoned to that of a winged demon emblem. The skulls at the bottom of the hilt remained unchanged however. And now after the deterioration of DevilKaz's blade the General now had in his hands a fist sized blood red pendant with a platinum frame. Inscribed on the frame were ebony runes of demonic language.
"This is Sparda's amulet. Once infused with a weapon its full potential is unleashed" he said as he tossed the amulet to Heihachi.
"No, no! This is yours now more then ever you deserve it" Heihachi praised as he tossed it back.
"Thank you sir! I'll have to try it when we get back to headquarters; I left my spear in my chambers"
"I still can not believe how easy this turned out to be"
"Yes, poor DevilKaz didn't even see it coming, though I still would've liked to leave him rotting in that cave after killing him myself instead of having our new acquaintance do it. But hopefully the guilt is tearing through DevilKaz as we speak so at least it is still somewhat enjoyable.
"My, my what ever was it that led you to such hatred towards him? Besides the generous offer I made you of course?"
"It was just his egotistical praise of your worthless son. Day in and day out I had to hear it. It nearly drove me insane"
"Yes, it is rather hard to believe that Kazuya could actually obtain followers, let alone lead them. These KMAS fools must have been really gullible.
"So that's what you do to people in your service? Use them and then bad mouth them behind their backs?" spoke a voice.
Heihachi turned his head and acknowledged the voice which came from a person chained and dangling from the ceiling like his grandson had been, in Hon-Maru after the King of Iron Fist Tournament 4.
"Ah, so the leader of the vermin is at last awake. Sleep well?" Heihachi teased.
"You know from this angel you're kinda cute" General Beng said
"You think so?" said Saiyan and soon after spat in the General's face. After being humiliated, and wiping the spit of his face, the General angrily stated,
"So Miss Rage, are you prepared yet to join and worship Heihachi as you did his disgraceful son? Or shall we just leave you there to die?"
"You shouldn't tease a caged animal, we tend to bite!" Saiyan said coldly.
"Not if they're defanged. Those chains bound on your hands leaves you incapable of performing that little soul steal ability you pulled on DevilKaz. But you already knew that didn't you?" Heihachi said.
"You fuddled old piece of shit! When I get out of this you're so dead!" Saiyan threatened
"I'm shaking in my boots" Heihachi said.
"And to think it all started with you" the General chimed in.
"What are you talking about?"
"I knew that DevilKaz had extreme loyalty to Kazuya and wouldn't hesitate to defend him. So to make sure his mind was in the right place for us…" General Beng explained
"I discovered where he was hiding after the incident with myself and the General here. Not his actual hiding place but rather where as far as identity goes" Heihachi continued.
"You mean you found the KMAS site? Then that means you were…"
"Yes! I am poop the one who sparked that little message board war to get DevilKaz banned from the site. It was rather heartening to know that we succeeded in alienating his only friends. So much so that you tried to kill him yourself"
"I must admit, I was rather surprised that his own teammate would do such a thing before I had the chance to wring his neck" Beng exclaimed
"Where is DevilKaz? What did you do with him?" Saiyan demanded.
"He is contained and hopefully being incinerated" Beng chuckled.
"He is imprisoned in the Devil Gene training room where our new friend is dealing with him" Heihachi stated.
At this the memories of betrayal came rushing back on the KMAS leader. Her whole life as it were, flashed before her eyes. Had it all been a waste? All the time and effort put into such a creation, all the loyalty and love she had for Kazuya, had it all been a sham? It was too horrible to think about. Through this utter grief she managed to ask one question…
"How?"
"What?" Heihachi answered
"How did Kazuya join your side? What did you do?"
"Hahahahahahahaha! Kazuya joining me?" Heihachi laughed
"You're quite the jokester" Beng added.
"What are you saying? Kazuya just handed us over to you!"
"How could he have done that? For all I know Kazuya is probably hiding like a scared school girl from me and from his son Jin. He's not even in this facility" Heihachi continued.
"Ok, I don't know what Kazuya did to you in Iron Fist 4, but you are definitely senile, old man! Kazuya just turned on us and you were here to witness it!"
"I think her imprisonment is clearly driving her mad Heihachi sir. Shall we just dispose of her?" the General proposed
"No, General. Maybe we should let little Miss Rage in on our little secret" answered Heihachi
"What secret?" Saiyan asked nervously
"You see, the Kazuya who led you and the rest of your stupid little group and the Kazuya who betrayed you was not Kazuya at all, in a true sense anyway" revealed the evil conglomerate
"What are you babbling about?" she asked rather confused.
"Do you recall the name 'Kaeuya Mishima'?"
That name had indeed brought memory back into the young leaders mind, she knew of it well.
"Yes, the tournament committee spelled Kazuya's name wrong on the tournament competitors list"
"That's what I wanted everyone to think! Before the discovery of the need for the Devil Gene, I was successful in breeding a new type of creature. Though temporary due to the deterioration of Ogre's Blood, it was still a remarkable warrior for the time being. I wanted to test this project on the fighters in the tournament. I then entered it to the tournament under the alias Kaeuya! But then things went wrong. You see I had no idea my son would be stupid enough to take the bait that was the Iron Fist Tournament Four. And when word reached that he was indeed competing I had to quickly pull the experiment and say that Kaeuya was merely a typographical error on the committee's part"
"What does any of that shit, got to do with any of this shit?" Saiyan demanded.
"Upon the end of the events at Iron Fist 4, I returned to this lab with the Devil Gene sample. Oh and by the way, this is not the Zaibatsu! Did you truly think I'd be stupid enough to show you its exact location?"
"You don't want me to answer that!"
"Very well, upon my return I combined the two substances of Ogre's Blood and the Devil Gene and mixed it with the creature. An amazing thing happened indeed. The creature's own body began to morph into a very familiar figure. Upon closer research I discovered that its blood brought out the Devil Gene in its purest form, one left naturally given by Devil himself and there was only one person who was willingly given the Devil Gene…"
"…Kazuya?" she stammered
"Precisely! The person you've been following around is none other then Kaeuya! A perfected and obedient clone of my ill-begotten son Kazuya"
While this indeed lifted a heavy burden off of Saiyan Rage's shoulders a new thought took place in her mind. DevilKaz! She knew that he was extremely loyal to Kazuya and would not allow harm to come to him. This meant he was now at the mercy of that bastardized imitation of their idol.
Beep, Beep, Beep
Went a machine on Heihachi's desk, he in turn went over and turned on a communication device.
"Heihachi speaking, report!"
"Sir" spoke a feminine voice "This is…Sergeant Aquarios….Two intruders…infiltrated the facility and… heading upstairs…one is Lee…other…is…wear…trenchco…" bzzt
As soon as that communication was severed another link beeped in
"Report" Heihachi said again
"Heihachi sir" said a new howling voice "The KMAS members have escaped…they were…rescued by… man with sun..gl…es…" bzzt
Heihachi began to grow rather worried. Two of his Seven Squad had been apparently obliterated and the KMAS were escaping.
"Is something wrong sir?" The General asked
"Those imbeciles! They can't handle a single intruder?" Heihachi said astounded.
"What do you mean?"
"The first few floors have been cleared by a man with, I think sunglasses and a trenchcoat…"
Beep, Beep, Beep…
"What the hell…" he said …
"What is it!?" he growled
"Captain Frost reporting…" said an icy voice "…he's…coming sir…a…man…voile…suit…" bzzt
"Having a problem are we?" Saiyan teased
"Shut up foolish girl!" Heihachi roared.
Beep, beep, beep…
"WHAT?!"
"Blaze reporting for self and Quake sir…it's…him…he's…coming…up..Ka…." bzzt
"GENERAL!"
"Yes sir!" he cowered
"Start the helicopter and bring the Soul Reaver with you! I'll be there shortly. I want to deal with this intruder myself"
"As you wish sir…" the General reluctantly grabbed the blade and went through a hidden staircase behind Heihachi's desk and proceeded to the roof.
No sooner did the General leave did the large doors to Heihachi's chambers creak open. In stepped a man with raven hair back into a singled spike and in a black trench coat. Underneath the coat he wore a business suit of a deep violet color and had sunglasses upon his eyes. He walked calmly forward towards Heihachi who looked in slight disbelief.
"So finished him off already Kaeuya?" Heihachi said.
"Yes, it was no trouble at all" the figure said.
"Good, because a new intruder has come, he is nearing now as we speak. You can help me dispatch him when he comes. By the way, why are you wearing that ridiculous outfit? I know you're a clone of my son but do you really need his awful sense of fashion?"
"I thought I'd look the part if I was to deceive the world that I was your son"
"Hmm…good angle"
"I see you've dealt with her?" the being said pointing to Saiyan Rage.
"You should know, you subdued her long enough"
"Er…of course, I just…uh…took notice that you chained her up"
Heihachi was rather taken back by this, he knew that Kaeuya was artificially created but his memory was not at all sub par.
Saiyan Rage was also caught by surprise. But she noticed something different about him. It was very hard to explain, but she knew the being standing there was not the same one who had delivered her and DevilKaz into Heihachi's clutches. No…it was…
"Wait a minute!" Heihachi growled. "Where did you get that suit anyway. I personally burned all your belongings after Kazuya's fall into the volcano. Where did you get one?"
"I found it" he said coldly…
Just then a loud voice rang over the communication device. Heihachi had forgotten he had left it on and now a message boomed forward and filled Heihachi's mind with utter chaos…
"SIR" boomed a shocking voice "KAZUYA…KAZUYA IS HERE!"
Heihachi's eyes widened in disbelief and before he had time to react he saw a foot go into his face. The being then slammed his head into the back wall of the office. Not willing to end it there, he used the opportunity to grab Heihachi by the throat and deliver his Bitch Kicks, sending the chairman down on the floor. Next he picked him up by his leg and hurled him over his shoulder, slamming him back onto the steel floor. It was obvious who this figure was, it was truthfully and undeniably THE Kazuya Mishima. It was he and his adoptive brother Lee who had been the mysterious figures from Goddsand. Kazuya knew all along Heihachi's intent, but even now it may have been too late. Kazuya finally ended his brutal assault with a Soul Annihilator which sent Heihachi over his desk and into his chair.
"Kazuya…?" Saiyan Rage said
"Yes. No deceit this time" he said as he snapped the chains which bound the KMAS leader.
"Now come, we must depart at once. The super soldiers will be activated at any minute"
"What about everyone else?"
"They're all with Lee on the outside already now hurry up!"
"Wait, we can't leave without DevilKaz!"
"Who?"
"I'll explain later just come on, he's on the 10th and 11th floor"
"We don't have time!"
"Please! He has to know that he's fighting Kaeuya and not you!"
"So Heihachi is using him for exploitation? …Very well"
"Thank you so much! Come on"
They dashed out of the office and took the elevator to the 10th floor .

EVENT: AN UNEXPECTED ARRIVAL
TRACK: KAIN BATTLE (LOK:SR)
I was knocked to the ground once more by Kazuya. By this time I had a huge gash of my forehead and I was gushing from the mouth. Some internal damage may have been done but I just didn't care. Kazuya continued his assault by knocking me into one of the brimstone walls. He leapt up and caught me by the throat and slammed me back onto the molten area. Kazuya began to grow bored and tired of trying to fight me, he had decided to just finish me off now! Kazuya slowly walked towards me and picked me up by the throat and pointed a knife edge palm at my neck.
"Now either you fight me like a man…or I'll kill you now!" Kazuya threatened
"…NO…NEVER…Just finish it…!" I choked out.
"Very well, the decision is made…Farewell DevilKaz" Kazuya said as he smiled…
"DEVILKAZ!"
As he pulled his fist back I heard a familiar voice crying out and I turned my eyes to the above areas and I saw Saiyan Rage. Then I saw with her…my assailant dressed in his violet suit and trenchcoat…but how could he be there and here about to put me six feet under…the next statement, answered all these questions.
"DEVILKAZ! HE'S NOT THE REAL KAZUYA!" she called out.
…
…
…

The imposters hand thrust forward and prepared to pierce my neck.
