Chapter 12: Preparation
"Any news on the field?"
"Yes, sir. And it's confirmed. Kazuya Mishima survived the blast. He doesn't look injured. In fact, he may have gotten stronger within the month. He's now in his last few stages."
"Damn it! Uh...anything else?"
"Jin Kazama survived too and has currently won four of his battles. There's no sign of Heihachi Mishima anywhere. Oh! And...the source...is here too."
"Hmm...very interesting. Okay. Just do what you're supposed to do and lay low. We will be sending her there as soon as the tournament comes to an end. I'm putting you in charge of her safety. You don't have to help her much. I doubt she'd need it. But when the time comes to retreat, do so immediately. If she doesn't agree, tranquilize her. We can't have our prize specimen go to waste."
"I'll do that sir."
"And keep an eye on the source! Who knows when we'll need it again."
"Yes, sir."
CLICK!
"Wh--Who was that, Professor?"
"One of our undercover men posing as the tournament representative," Dr. Larne spun his chair around and faced his niece. "Seems you were right, Vivian. Kazuya is alive."
Vivian Vetra grimaced as if she were in pain. It was one of her worst fears, the worst, being Kazuya's coming back to kill them all one by one. Strangely though, she felt a sense of contentment.
"Why can't you send another assassin? Or one of Jane's Jack models to finish him off instead of...instead of Aiko?" Dr. Vetra queried. "I mean...what if she..."
"Jane's a topnotch robotics engineer but her creations aren't strong enough to take on Kazuya. We saw that back at Honmaru," Dr. Larne reminded. "It's risky, but we have no choice but to put it all on her shoulders. Now, where's that report?"
"Here," Dr. Vetra held out a clipboard to her uncle. "You're right about everything. She is a marvel of science. Increased intelligence, agility, strength, vitality, stamina..."
"Not to mention she's up and about after a little more than a week when we expected her to be bedridden for at least another two months."
"There's something else too..."
"What is it?"
"She's re-mastered every single one of her martial arts techniques. She's even mastered the moves of other fighters simply by studying their video footage on file!" Dr. Vetra widened her eyes with emphasis.
"Good. Good," Dr. Larne stood up and put his hand over his niece's shoulder. "I'm glad you've finally come to your senses, Vivian. Nothing would make me happier than to see you follow in my footsteps."
"Th-thanks...Uncle Arnaude..."
"Very well. I best be on my way. I have to check up on Aiko Sanada and see the results of her re-training for myself," Dr. Larne exited the room, leaving Dr. Vetra to fumble nervously with her fingers.
