Against Her Will part four
It has been three weeks now, and the lifeless bodies of the Mishima Family and the unfortunate Hwoarang are decomposing in the non-air conditioned mansion. Usually, the Mishimas have the air conditioning on during the hot summer months. Since the central air is not on, the dead bodies are starting to smell really bad.
In the basement of the mansion, Jun's rotting body is distended and puffy, in the kitchen; Jin's body is turning a sallow white with veins protruding out of his arms and face, his blood now coagulated and attracting flies. Asuka's once beautiful face is now sunken in to the likeness of a skull; her body is also unsightly. Hwoarang's body, still in that Goddess forsaken chair, is distorted because of the broken neck; worms crawl in and out of his mouth and nose.
Amongst all of the goriness, some sort of good has to come out of all of this.
On the floor behind the deep freezer, lies Kazuya's body, seemingly dead from the gunshot wound to his head.
His right hand shudders slightly, a sign of life. With the will to live, he dazedly pulls himself up from the floor, propping himself against the wall. In horrible pain and slowly bleeding to death, Kazuya takes his first breath of life in three weeks. He's been alive all this time, surviving from the runoff water from the freezer. He managed to avoid his father finding out he lived through the gunshot.
If Heihachi ever found out he survived, he'd finish him off. The bullet went through his left temple, lodging itself into his skull, missing the brain by a hair. The recoil of the pistol caused Jun to miss his brain on purpose. Blood trickles down his face, intolerable pain spikes from his head to his neck, causing him to retch in sickness.
Kazuya tries to stand on his feet, but he collapses to his knees. He finds himself crawling to their beautifully furnished bar a few meters away from him. The brutal throbbing of pain is really making him sick. Maybe it's the lack of medical attention that's causing him to feel this way; maybe it's the severe loss of blood. Kazuya slowly crawls past his wife's body, his hand touching her slimy arm. His face distorts in sadness and grief, distraught at the sight of Jun's body looking like this. He's almost to their bar, where he can phone for help. (If Heihachi doesn't find him first.)
Meanwhile, Lei Wulong gets the bone-chilling phone call from Kazuya, who is barely alive.
"Kazuya, is that you?"
He struggles to speak.
"They're…all dead."
Lei can't believe his ears. Was he talking about his family?
"Who's all dead?"
Kazuya wheezes for air for the blood is gradually suffocating him.
"Please…send (gasps) help…"
Lei can't see what's going on, but he can hear Kazuya's last moments alive. Unknown to Kazuya, Heihachi is on the other phone upstairs, listening in on the desperate pleas for help.
"Just sit tight, I'm on my way," Lei says with preternatural calmness in his voice. He can feel the horrifying tension building up. He hears Kazuya's gravelly blood filled coughs, then a high-pitched wheeze. Heihachi found him on the phone calling for help, and he finished him off by strangling him with fishing line. Kazuya struggles to fight for his life, but he lost again to the strength of his father. Kicking and trying to grab the fishing line from around his neck make his fingers bleed. The more he fought, the deeper the fishing line cut into his neck.
Lei can hear the fight over the phone. Feeling absolutely helpless, a knot forms in his stomach, knowing it is too late to save him.
The metal line severs his jugular vein, ending Kazuya's life once and for all. Heihachi callously lets his son's head fall limp onto the concrete floor. He then picks up the phone. He says:
"If you know what's good for you, Lei Wulong, you'll stay away from here. Or you'll be next."
He rips the phone out of the wall. Lei's heart beats with fear, sickened at what he just heard.
