Chapter 30: Grandfather
"Heihachi..." Jin quickly got up on his feet and curled his fingers into tight fists. "You...you..."
"Is that a proper way to greet you grandfather?" Heihachi scoffed and crossed his arms across his bulky chest. Other than the fact that he was levitating a few inches off the ground, there was something eerie about the way he gazed at Jin and Asuka. "What a disrespectful boy you've become...not even knowing how to address me..."
"You don't deserve to be called 'Grandfather' or any kind of father!" Jin yelled. "And you know very well why! I can't understand why you still have the nerve to show your stinkin' face in front of us!"
"Nostalgia..." Heihachi trailed off and followed with a mocking laugh. "Now, where have I last heard that tone of voice? Oh yes...from Kazuya...just before I heaved that pathetic little worm off the cliff..."
"HOW DARE YOU!" Asuka suddenly shouted with so much anger, it made all heads turn to her direction. "He's not pathetic! He's strong and brave! And he might've been a good father if you hadn't done what you did!"
"I see you've also inherited your father's spunk, my dear granddaughter..." Heihachi sneered when he saw the shocked faces of his grandchildren. "What? You didn't think I knew about sweet little Asuka? I learned about her when I stole the records from G Corporation. I was stunned, of course...but it's just like Kazuya to go for a second round..."
"What are you implying!" Jin took several steps forward but Asuka held him back. "Let go of me, Asuka!"
"Why...?" Asuka asked, her eyes, darkening. "Why did you do all this, Heihachi! What do you gain from inflicting pain on your own flesh and blood! Jinpachi...your father...he loved you. He was a ki--"
"Love," Heihachi spat. "That man showered me his attention and riches but he was weak. He never wanted anything else. He never had ambitions though with his vast fortune, he could've easily claimed this world as his own! He was always satisfied with the things around him...always happy just to play the role of a good father...always helping others but did he help himself! That fool gave away too much of what was rightfully his...what would've been mine, and received so little but he still managed to have an idiotic smile on his face! He was weak, I tell you! Gave me a weak wife who bore me a weak son and left me a widower far too soon..."
Jin and Asuka blinked rapidly when their grandfather trailed off his sentence. There was a strange note in his voice but when Heihachi saw the way the Kazamas gazed at him, he snapped out of his pause.
"That son of mine went off and found a brood mare of his own to bear the seeds of his lust," Heihachi smirked. "And here you are: little cretins of that blubbering boy and his little wench..."
"SHUT YOUR FILTHY MOUTH!" Jin thundered, a white aura enveloping his body as well as his sister's.
"It wasn't just lust!" Asuka yelled. "Dad loved Mom! So much so, he gave up everything for her...even his life!"
"Oh? Is that what happened here?" Heihachi raised his brows and pretended to look around. "Typical of Kazuya. Worthless prick. But at least he did something useful for a change: he killed himself along with that woman."
"YOU'LL PAY FOR THAT!" Jin suddenly transformed himself and charged towards his grandfather, punching him so hard that he smashed to one side of the crater. Asuka transformed herself and with her brother, shot several powerful beams at Heihachi until the thick cloud of dust blocked their vision.
"Blind fools! What are you shooting at?" a voice from behind them cackled. Jin and Asuka whipped around, surprised to find Heihachi floating behind them, unscathed. Then, Heihachi's sadistic leer dropped to a sinister frown.
"Enough with this childish game," he crossed his arms around himself, black and purple light sparkling away from his body as he began to mutate. His eyes took on a golden color, his skin turning sickly green while large spikes protruded from his back, his shoulders and his elbows. His nails sharpened into deadly claws and his howls turned into frightening roars. Large, dragon-like wings, the same pea soup tint as his clammy skin, spread out from his back while a pair of great horns made its way out of the sides of his skull.
When it was all over, a tyrannical Heihachi stood to his full, massive height, the bulk of his muscles disguising his augmented speed and agility, but failed to hide his formidability. On his lips, formed what looked to be a twisted smile, his sharp teeth barred and threatening.
"Perhaps you're wondering why I could do this?" Heihachi growled when Jin and Asuka became speechless. His deep laughter rumbled through the crater like thunder. "Ironically, I have my father and your father to thank for this: the power I had been searching for for so long. Kazuya provided the Devil Gene needed to combine with Ogre's blood. My father was the guinea pig but some variables tend to fail...but not me...
"Now..." Heihachi took a few steps forward, making the Kazamas take on their fighting stances, "...the final battle...a battle that has raged on for eons shall commence. We shall soon set eyes upon the true victor: Ogres, or Angels and Devils? I doubt it's the latter..."
a/n: okay, these are more chapters than I expected, but the ending will be coming shortly. I'll need a week off though since I'll be traveling. See you soon.
