I don't own Tekken.
A/Note: Exathora or Exa, is a character that is inspired in Unknown (Tekken Tag Tournament), but I had to give her a name and a story line, so this is what I came up to!
Miss Sweetness: Hey, thank you very much for your review. I'm looking forward for your next update! See ya. Hope you like this chapter!
Corkyshaimotzu: Hi. Your words did surprise me, because, honestly, I don't think I'm too good writing fight scenes because I always use the same words, and I hate to repeat myself…that's why I think fighting scenes are boring sometimes. Do you know what I mean? Anyway thanks for reviewing, it's always good to hear from you! Hope you like this chapter!
Krappkarmin: Thank you for your review, and I can't wait to know more about your story! About Nina and Steve…their relationship will be more explored in my next story (I'm only waiting Tekken 5 to come out in Portugal) to start writing! But in the end of this story, Steve and Miharu will remain close to each other!
Chapter 41
My Angel
Ling and Julia were arriving in the chamber. When they got in, Lee, Hwoarang and Nina were immobilised watching Jin and Kazuya being tied up by strong chains above them.
-'Put them down!'-ordered Lee.
Heihachi pressed a button in a remote control and metal bars appeared all around Nina, Lee and Hwoarang. They were in a cage and they couldn't get out because it was electrified.
-'Do you honestly think I wasn't prepared for you…after the last time? You idiots!'
-'Jin!'-yelled Ling.-'Leave him alone!'
-'Ling? What are you doing here? I told you not to come!'-Jin said.
-'Welcome Xiaoyu!'-Heihachi said with a smile.-'You can now watch me become the most powerful man on Earth!
-'I locked us inside, sir…so no one can get in!'-Dr. Abel said.
-'Good job.'
'Who is going first?'-Dr. Abel asked.
-'Jin can go first!'
Dr. Abel took the chains off Jin and lowered him into the capsule. Jin couldn't move because the chains had neutralised his power.
Ling was going to attack Heihachi but Julia stopped her.
'Dr. Abel has a gun…it won't do any good. Jin wouldn't want you to die!'-Julia said holding her.
-'But this will kill him!'-Ling started crying.
-'Start with me!'-Kazuya said.-'I want to be first!'
-'Your words are touching…'-Heihachi joked.-'But no, I'll be so pleased to watch your face while I steal your son and that stupid girl's life from his body!'
-'Why are you doing this? He's your family!'-Julia asked.
'Because I'm the one who should have the devil gene…and not these two bastards! I was always stronger…Now, Dr. Abel…turn it on!'-Heihachi ordered entering the other capsule.
Five minutes later Jin was in pain and a few seconds later he was unconscious. The bright light inside the tube ceased and Heihachi opened his eyes feeling a strange and huge power on his body. He had finally succeeded, he had the devil gene.
Dr. Abel threw Jin off the capsule and his body fell on the floor. Julia let Ling go and she held him in her arms trying to wake him up.
Hwoarang hold the cage bars and immediately felt an electric shock, but he didn't mind.
-'Is he alive?'-Hwoarang asked.
Ling tried to check out his pulse, and he was very weak.
'He needs help!'-she said looking at Dr. Abel.
-'I can't help him…his condition will not improve. In a few minutes his heart will stop and Jin will die.'
-'No! Please do something!'-Ling begged.
In that moment Kazuya was watching his son dying and he lost control. His hate made him stronger and he tried to get off the chains. All he wanted to do was to kill Heihachi.
Nina started to feel Kazuya's pain inside her chest and she fell on her knees.
-'What's happening?'-she asked.-'I'm feeling Kazuya's despair and hate!'
'It's a chain reaction…everyone who has the devil gene have a bond…Kazuya is out of control, so you're feeling his pain!'-Lee explained.
-'We have to get out of here!'-Hwoarang said watching Jin's body in Ling's arms.
In the meanwhile Christie was finally resting in the jeep, she had warned the authorities, not the G Corporation. She had a strange feeling about that organisation, she didn't trust them.
Then Steve woke up, he was also feeling a light pain in his chest.
-'Are you alright?'-Christie asked worried, while he was trying to breathe normally.
-'No! I'm feeling sick! What's happening to me?'
-'I don't know!'
-'Where are we?'
-'In the forest…you were captured by Heihachi Mishima…Oh my God…'
Christie knew that Heihachi Mishima was after Jin because he had some gene, if he had captured Steve, maybe he had it too.
-'You have it too!'-she said.
-'What?'
-'Hang on a bit more…the police will be here soon!'
-'Easy to say…'
-'Bring Kazuya!'-Heihachi ordered.-'Then it will be Nina's turn, and after her…I'll have to search for Steve Fox…'
Slowly, Dr. Abel lowered Kazuya and put him in the capsule. Kazuya had to remain chained because he was too violent.
In the G Corp. Kira was showing their machine to Dr.B.
-'This is the GenTatics…'
-'It's similar to the genotransfer…
Suddenly Kira got an urgent call from the secret labs in the last base level. She went there, and Dr.B. followed her, finally he was going to see what their secret weapon against Heihachi was.
His mouth opened when he saw her. Inside of a cryosleep capsule there was a beautiful blonde woman. She was dressed with white top and tight white pants.
-'She woke up!'-a scientist said with a scared voice.
Kira looked at her, and she was opening her eyes.
-'This is Angel…doctor…she's our most important subject, who has the devil gene!'
-'Angel…She's Kazama Jun!'-Dr.B. said surprised.-'She should be dead!'
-'She's been in a deep coma for thirteen years! Since Lee found her body in a cliff!'
-'The devil gene kept her alive…this is incredible!'
-'She has the most powerful devil gene…'
Jun was now awakened and with her energy she broke the capsule and watched the room around her.
Everyone was petrified. Her mind was a bit confused but she was calm and confidant.
-'Maybe she lost her memory, like Nina!'-suggested Dr.B.
-'Maybe…'
-'She had black hair in the past…'
-'It's a secondary effect.'
-'Do you know who you are?'-Dr.B asked her.
-'Where is Kazuya? He's calling me!'-Jun said in a peaceful voice.
-'She remembers him…amazing! After all these years and she remembered Kazuya…'
-'I have to go! Kazuya needs me!'
Before Kira and Dr.B. could move, Jun disappeared. They didn't see her, but Dr.B. had felt the air move, which meant that Jun could move at an amazing speed.
-'She controls the devil gene! She's perfect!'-Dr.B. said.
Kazuya was almost unconscious, but then his energy provoked an overload and part of the machine exploded.
Kazuya fell on the floor, he was too weak to get up and fight.
-'I'll fix this in no time!'-Dr. Abel announced.
Only then everyone saw that there was someone else in the chamber. Someone dressed in white.
-'Angel!'-Lee said helping Nina to get up.
'Who is she?'-asked Julia watching Jun walk towards Kazuya.
Jun knew what was going on, her intuition was guiding her. She looked at Ling, Julia and Hwoarang and felt that they had pure hearts. Then she looked at Nina and Lee. There was something different about them.
Kazuya watched her when she stopped right in front of him. He was going to ask who she was, but then he recognised her.
Jun knelt and hugged him, and then she got up to face Heihachi, who was more interested in his precious machine. He was feeling invincible so he feared no one, especially a woman.
-'Who the hell are you?'-he asked.
-'Can't you recognise me, Heihachi?'
-'No…how did you get in?'
-'You have to pay! You're a monster!'
-'I'm busy…go away!'
-'You'll pay for what you did to my Jin!'
-'Kazama? Is it really you? You're dead!'
-'I'm not dead…'
-'Do you think you can defeat me?'
'I control the devil gene…I never wanted this gene to have more power, I have it because it was the only way I could be with Kazuya…I'm not sorry for that! Since then, I accepted it living inside of me, and the devil gene accepted me…I control it, and not the other way around! As for you…you'll never control it!'
Heihachi had the feeling that Jun was right. He needed to complete the process, because Jin's powers weren't enough to defeat Jun.
-'Call Exathora!'-Heihachi ordered to Dr. Abel while he was replacing some parts in the genotransfer.
-'Exathora? She's not ready yet!'
-'I don't care…I want her to face Kazama, now!'
-'Who's Exathora?'-Jun asked.
-'Someone who you will want to meet!'
Dr. Abel made a secret door appear and a few minutes later, he got out followed by a woman with dark hair and dark eyes. She had the same tattoo that Jin had in her right arm.
Her eyes seemed empty but then she noticed Kazuya. She stopped immediately.
-'She has the devil gene too!'-Jun said.
'Yes, she does…and she controls it perfectly! Doesn't she remind you of someone?'-Heihachi asked.
-'She looks like mum…'-Kazuya said.
-'Very good, son…that's because she's your sister! Twin sister, actually!'-Heihachi said, trying to buy some time for Dr. Abel.
-'What?'-Lee asked.
'Twin sister? Are you joking?'-Kazuya asked.
-'Certainly not!'
'Reika had twins?'-asked Lee.
-'Yes, she had…'
-'Why didn't we meet her?-Lee asked.
-'Because there was no place for two heirs in my Empire!'-Heihachi said coldly.
-'But what about me?'-Lee asked again.
-'I was forced to adopt you, remember?'
-'How did Reika let you do this?'
-'I told her the baby was dead…she believed. I wanted an heir…a male. When Reika told me she was pregnant with twins, I had to make sure one of them was a boy.'
-'You're a monster!'-Ling shouted.-'Now bring Jin back!'
-'Sorry little girl…but I can't! Jin is lost forever!'
-'What have you done to her?'-Jun asked.
-'She was brought up in a lab. She doesn't know any emotions! She's mine to control! When I realised Kazuya had the devil gene, I thought that Exa could have it too. Her gene only 'woke up' when she was twelve.'
-'Why didn't you use her instead of Jin and Kazuya?'-Lee asked.
-'At the age of fifteen she was out of control. I was forced to put her in a cryosleep for many years, her DNA is completed altered! We're not compatible! But now she's alright, and she controls the devil gene. Lets see who's the best!'
Exa broke the eye contact with Kazuya and prepared herself to fight.
-'Don't do it Exa!'-Kazuya said.
'She only responds to your father commands!'-Dr. Abel explained, finishing fixing the genotransfer.-'Can't you see the tattoo? Jin had it too, but he ran away before we could control him!'
-'Now, lets end what we started!'-Heihachi said.
When Jun and Exa were starting their fight, three gun shots echoed and then they heard an explosion. The door opened and someone with a mask got in.
-'I'm really sick of this!'-Heihachi said.-'Who the…'
Heihachi didn't finish his sentence because the man took out his mask. It was Bryan Fury.
-'You?'-Heihachi and Hwoarang said.
Bryan didn't wait a second, he fired his gun again and he hit Heihachi, who fell on the floor.
Julia saw her chance and attacked Dr. Abel, knocking him out. Then she allowed Lee, Nina and Hwoarang to leave the cage.
Hwoarang and Julia joined Ling.
-'Why are you here?'-Nina asked Bryan.
-'Because of him!'-Bryan pointed at Heihachi.-'He's a bastard! He used me…I mean he used us! I remember you…'
-'I know…thanks for coming!'
-'What happened between you and Heihachi?'-Lee asked.
-'He promised more power, but he ruined my life! I think I'm dying…there are days that I can't even remember who I am! I know I did bad things in the past! Now I'm taking my pride back!'
Jun was near to Kazuya and with a simple touch on his forehead he had recovered his strengths.
-'Is it really you?'-he asked her.
-'Yes…it's me…I heard you calling me! You were afraid our Jin would die!'
They both looked at Jin.
-'He's just like you…'-Jun said, touching Jin's forehead.
-'Are you ok?'-Lee asked Kazuya.
-'I'm fine!'
-'Don't worry…Jin's going to be alright!'-Jun said to Ling.-'He's strong like his father!'
Jin woke up but then the alarm was activated.
Ling hugged Jin so tightly he almost turned blue. Hwoarang helped him to get up. He was happy to see Jin was alright. They were rivals, but Hwoarang never wished him to die.
-'Shit!'-Nina said.-'Fury forced the chamber entrance…this is the self-destruction alarm, we have seven minutes to get out!'
-'Lets go!'-called Lee following Nina.
Dr. Abel waked up and he was dragging Heihachi to the room where Exa was before.
Kazuya pulled Exa, so she wouldn't stay there. And then, Jin recognised his mother.
-'Mother?'
-'Yes…it's me! You're so tall…I'm so proud of you!'
-'But…'
-'I'll explain later…'-she said following Kazuya and pulling him by the arm.
-'The only door that can be manually opened is the south door.'-Nina said.
-'How big will the explosion be?'-asked Lee.
-'There is enough C-4 to destroy a football Stadium…this complex will vanish. We have three minutes!'
Hwoarang, Kazuya and Jin were trying to open the door, but it was hard. They realised they would never be able to open the door completely in time, so when there was enough space for a person to fit, they started to get out.
'Run as fast as you can!'-said Lee to Ling who was the first to leave.
In the meanwhile, Captain Migaru was on his way. He was with Lei and Baek in one of the two helicopters that the police had sent there to investigate.
Baek and Lei had been investigating Heihachi's room in the Empire Hotel and they hadn't found Anna like Miharu and the others had said. Probably she had been taken by the tekken forces. At least that was the only explanation since she was in a cryosleep capsule in coma.
Lei had a strange feeling about all that, because the authorities were aware that Heihachi Mishima was a dangerous man, and even so, they had only sent two helicopters.
Christie and Steve, who had recovered, had realised that something was going on. They were going to the complex when they saw Ling and the others leaving in a hurry.
'This is going to explode!'-Ling warned.-'Lets go!'
Christie and Steve followed them immediately.
-'I called the police…they said they would send helicopters!'-Christie announced.
-'I hope they get here in time!'-said Lee.
Kazuya was going to leave the complex, there was just him and Jun left, but then the door was sealed off. He could have left, but he preferred to stay with Jun.
Noticing that his parents were locked up inside the complex, Jin went back there.
In that moment two helicopters appeared on the horizon. They couldn't land because there was no space among the trees.
-We have only one minute!'-yelled Nina.
