A/N I'm glad so many were pleased with Chapter 3. And yes, Jin will be living with Heihachi for four years, and thenTekken 3 is announced. However, we won't be seeing much of him until Chapter Six, because I needed to introduce a few new characters first. I hope I didn't say too much.
RANDOM FACT: Kuma means (literally) 'bear' in Japanese. And yes, Panda means Panda, too.
Kazuya is dead. Jun has been killed by a creature called Ogre. Ogre apparently feeds off of the 'strong souls' of others, as many other well known fighters have been similarly murdered.
My father Jinpachi is locked away, and my foster son Lee Chaolan is out in the bahama's burning off his money. And I am left with Kazuya's son!
Wait, what if I train him, and use him as 'bait' for this Ogre? I'm sure Ogre will have something similar to the Devil Gene within it? And then I can infuse it with me and become even more powerful! Yes, and then I will get rid of him!
Kuma Kigahen Chapter Four
Oso
Kuma watched from the patio where Heihachi was training with Jin. He hasn't trained with Kuma for weeks. Feeling neglected, Kuma took a walk into the woods. He waded across the river and walked through more forest. He continued walking even as he neared a cave at the top of the hill.
Suddenly, a giant black bear shot out of the cave, forcing Kuma into action. His Kuma Shinken style resurfaced as Kuma swept to his opponents legs. The big black bear countered with his own swipe and knocked Kuma off of the hill.
"Who dares enter my territory!" the black bear shouted down.
"I am Kuma, and this is my land!"
"No, this land belongs to my family!" the black bear shouted back before charging down the hill.
Kuma braced himself.
The contact never occurred. Kuma looked up. An even bigger black bear was between Kuma and the attacking black bear, which was actually Kuma's size. The larger black bear, a massive one, almost two times Kuma's size, roared at the smaller black bear. "Do not attack our guest," the big black bear growled.
"Yes, sir!" The smaller bear said as he scurried off.
The massive bear turned to Kuma. "You said your name was Kuma."
Kuma nodded
"My name is Oso. You are welcome to explore the forest, but I ask that you never venture near the caves. Many bears have a score to settle with your father."
Kuma groaned. "You knew my father?"
Oso nodded. "At the time, everyone did. He ruled this land like a king. Or a tyrant to the enemy bears. His name is legend here."
Oso turned and walked back into the forest. "If you need anything, bring a red-tailed fish to the ruined picnic area. My clan will know that symbol and come to your aide the following night. Never go to the caves."
Kuma nodded and walked back to the manor. If he hurried, he could catch "The Sopranos" on HBO.
Years ago…
Oso stood silently over the grave of Kuma the first. One single teardrop falls from his wet fur, disguised by the torrent of rain. Oso was almost an adult and his training finished the year before. After that, Kuma went on a trip with Heihachi and died of complications.
Even the great fighter was struck by disease.
This fact of pushed Oso to train harder, until he began to physically look like the massive fighter Kuma. After Kuma died, the clans he united collapsed without the silent warrior. Wars among the animals began, and Oso went into hiding.
He trained for a full year, and then returned to his home clan, a giant among bears, a leader. Oso led a three month campaign that successfully recaptured the forest, but strife and misunderstanding within threatened the stability of the forest. Oso made his home on the riverbank near a deserted picnic area and lived in silence. As far as the forest fauna knew, Oso was as invincible as his master Kuma.
Answers to reviews!
Well, I hope you are getting involved with Oso, FlaminfFenix. Oso will be appearing fairly frequently, especially after Tekken 3. And I like the Kazuya part too. :)
Well, Animagus10, this is a humor story, but it's action/adventure too. But you can always expect the occasional joke. And yeah, Kuma isn't all that respectful to his master, because: 1. He is a teenager in bear years, and 2. He never really was that close to the old man. And thanks for taking the time to review! I really appreciate it.
Well, kantwon, Heihachi will say all kinds of things, but we won't be seeing much of Heihachi for a couple chapters. But hang in there! And thanks for reviewing!
