Chapter 16: Evil Blood
"It was a mistake showing up in that accursed competition," Jun muttered angrily, stepping up right in front of the door. She wore something bizarre: a kind of purple material that coated around her body like hardened liquid. The skin of her torso was mostly exposed, save for her breasts, which were fortunately covered with the same material. On her forehead, was what appeared to be a small, blue jewel. There were also those same dark markings on her skin, last seen before her escape from the G Corporation several weeks ago. Her ebony hair lay loose around her shoulders, its length reaching almost all the way to her waist.
"Mother..."
"Don't come any closer!" she snarled. "Leave while you still can!"
"Leave!" Jin echoed. "We can't leave now! We've gone too far and done so much just to find you! Mother...please. Let's go home. All of us."
"Home?" Jun went into a fit of disdainful laughter, but it sounded mechanical. "Where is home? That wretched forest? That godforsaken mansion?" she laughed once more before turning serious. "I don't have a home, nor do I have any ties to the world. This is were I belong...where I should be."
"You have a home with us!" Asuka exclaimed emphatically. "We're you're family! You have to come back to us!" she turned towards Kazuya, who seemed to be in a catatonic state, and tugged roughly on his sleeve. "Dad! Say something! Bring back some sense into her! After all, you started ev"
"That's right!" Jun agreed in an accusatory tone. "You started everything! You ruined my life! You're the one who turned me into this...this monster!"
Kazuya snapped out of his reverie the moment those words reached his ears.
"B-but..." his voice began to falter. "But I only did what I did...to keep you alive. I... "
"If being alive means being like this..." Jun jerked her shoulders and a pair of large, dark wings, with slight purple highlights, spread around her, "...then, I was better off dead! Do you know how much I suffered under the G Corporation! How much I suffered under your hands! I could've been spared all this anguish and torment if you had just left me to die in those mountains!"
"You know very well I would never do that," Kazuya closed his eyes and swallowed. "Not then, not now, not ever...and you know why."
Jun bent her head down and let out what sounded like a sigh. A moment of silence shrouded the confines of the inner temple. All through the eerie stillness, Jin and Asuka tried their best to stay calm, even as lightheadedness and unexplained pangs of pain coursed through their bodies like wildfire.
"You're never going to let me go...are you?" Jun finally spoke. She raised her head and waited for an answer, which came in the form of Kazuya's soft nod.
At this, the torches began to dim down one by one. Kazuya, Jin and Asuka instantly felt the presence of evil thicken around them, almost smothering them with a feeling of foreboding. They watched in awe as Jun flapped her wings and suspended herself in mid-air. The whites of her eyes turned into a fiery crimson color while her pupils remained in that same blazing, golden yellow. Then, a perplexing apparition appeared behind her: a demonic wolf spirit that mimicked every single movement she made.
"If you're not going to release me..." Jun said through gritted teeth, her voice, doubled, "...I'LL HAVE TO FORCE YOU!" with a strong flail of her wings, she flew towards her family.
The Kazamas and their father quickly dodged the attempt. When they turned to look up at Jun, they realized she had another agenda in mind.
The wolf behind Jun glowed in the same bright bluish light as she. Her frightening eyes focused their way, the jewel on her forehead glowing brighter and brighter until a powerful ray of light shot out from it. The beam hit hard, leaving all three of them to collapse down the floor, too stunned to even scream out in pain.
Kazuya painstakingly got up on his feet, Jin and Asuka, following his lead. Jun landed in front of them, making them take a step back.
"If you leave now, I may spare you," Jun offered while slowly stepping threateningly towards them. "So...what say you?"
Kazuya swerved his head towards Jin, who shook his head vehemently. He turned towards his daughter and was met with the same reaction.
"We're not leaving...not without you," Kazuya spoke for both his children. He put his arms across his face, purple light cracking from his chest. A third eye opened itself on his forehead. "And if it means tapping into his repulsive power to bring you back, I'll do it!"
