A/N: Hey hey people! Yet another chappie from Thee Slushee. Ok, I thought I should've introduced Jinpachi later in the story but glad you guys liked it! Well, the tourney was pretty awesome (appreciated the good luck, Tekkengeek01)…..even tho I didn't really get far, those people were pretty good. But those people were like in their 20's. I was happy that I beat them a few times when we were just playing for fun. I got a free t-shirt, even tho it's a bit….huge but still, a freebie! Ahem, anyways, u don't really have to tell me bout ur idea, xjmaster. U can write that story urself since it was ur idea, if you want to. Ok, I don't and never will own the Tekken series, Namco does. I am jus another obsessed fan. Ok, to the story!
Chapter 7: Narrow escape Part 1
"Ok, we don't really have a lot of time since that guy might've gotten up by now." Christie said, seriously.
"We could call the guys and ask for a little help." Xiaoyu suggested.
"And what the hell are they gonna do? They can't just walk up to it and fight it. The guy has a mouth on his chest!" Miharu retorted.
"Maybe we can just get Asuka to do that thing she did last time…if we can wake her up." Christie suggested.
"That laser beam thing she did took a lot out of her. I don't think she'll wake up for a while." Xiaoyu said.
While the group was talking, Julia was thinking up a solution, like she always did in any life-threatening situation. "We've got to use some kind of distraction, something that could draw his attention away from us so we can get out of here." Julia stated, sounding like a military general.
"We're gonna need a huge one 'cause I think this guy is pretty focussed on what he wants to do…kill us!" Miharu said.
"Do you always have to be so negative?" Christie asked.
"Ok, maybe we can call the guys and ask them to perform a little distraction." Julia said.
"And when we get out, they'll be in danger." Miharu stated.
"Miharu, can you jus-" Xiaoyu was interrupted by another slight earthquake, making the group lose their footing for a little bit. This indicated that the man was up and in no time, the group will be found.
"No time to argue, we've got to get out of here." Christie said, grabbing Asuka's leg. The rest of the group complied, lifting Asuka and sprinting down the alley. When they reached the end, they took a right turn and sprinted as fast as they could, down a street, which was shaken a little bit due to the slight earthquakes before. The group turned into another alleyway, heavily panting. They, once again, placed Asuka down carefully and immediately fell to the floor, gasping for air.
"We…can't…keep doing this…" Miharu said in between pants.
"Hopefully this…should buy us more time…" Julia said.
Xiaoyu took out her cellphone. "We've got to call the guys. It's the only way." Miharu was too tired to complain so she decided to let her do it. Xiaoyu dialled a number and listened to the monotonous ring. "Come on, pick up already." Xiaoyu muttered as the ringing continued. Suddenly, the ringing ceased and a familiar voice was heard.
"Yo, Hwoarang speaking." Hwoarang spoke through the other line.
"Hwoarang! You and Steve have got to help us! There's this crazy monster dude trying to kill us." Xiaoyu said quickly.
"Woah, lemme get this straight. There's a monster dude trying to kill you and…" Hwoarang said, wanting Xiaoyu to finish off the sentence.
"Me, Christie, Miharu, Jules and Asuka. Asuka's knocked out right now and we're tired of running. Can you get a hold of Steve and help us!" Xiaoyu asked, sounding desperate now.
"There's a monster chasing you guys?" Hwoarang asked, sounding sceptical.
"Hwoarang, we don't have time for this! Get a hold of Steve and come help us now! We're near the city square. You and Steve have got to make a distraction for us to get out of here." Xiaoyu said, wasting no time.
"Ok, ok, yeesh. We'll be there to make a distraction for this 'monster'." Hwoarang said, sounding unconvinced.
"You better be." Xiaoyu said bitterly. She snapped her phone shut and looked at the group with worry in her eyes.
"I don't think Hwoarang believes me. We've gotta think of an alternative, just in case."
"Right now, all we have to do is have faith in them." Julia said, sounding just as worried as Xiaoyu.
"Great, we're putting our lives in the palms of Steve Fox and Hwoarang. We are doomed." Miharu said.
"I'm sure they'll come through for us." Christie said in fake confidence.
"I'm not worried if they'll come through for us now. I'm just worrying if they'll get here in time." Julia said gravely.
A twisted maniacal laughter was heard. Everyone turned to face that gruesome monster, blocking the alleyway. The group stood up, struggling a bit, carrying Asuka and was about to run for it when the man stomped on the ground ferociously and everyone became paralysed, falling back slowly. Asuka was dropped back onto the ground.
"I can't move!" Miharu screamed.
"We're definitely done for now." Xiaoyu said sadly.
Asuka slowly sat up, rubbing her eyes. "What happened?" Asuka mumbled, as she opened her eyes, everything a great blur at first but it all became clear. "What the hell is that?" Asuka exclaimed fear painted on her face as it came closer. Everyone else was powerless to do anything, just watching the scene before them. All of a sudden, Asuka started to take large gasps of air, her hands slowly mutating into claws and her jumpsuit, top, gloves and boots turning blood red. Xiaoyu gasped. She's turning into a devil. Sharp buffalo horns shot out of her temples, Asuka shrieking in pain. Raven feathered wings burst out of her spine, fully stretched. Asuka stood up, took flight and laser beamed the monster before them. Soon, the group was out of their paralysed state and was staring at what was happening before them. The man got shot back, legs in the air. He slowly started to stand up when another beam coming from a completely different direction shot back down on the man, grounding him once more. Devil Asuka flew out of the alley and the battle between her, the mystery laser beam person and the man began.
"This is our chance to get out of here." Julia said, everybody snapping their heads towards her.
"We can't just leave Asuka in this form! We've got to get her back to her original self." Xiaoyu argued back and ran out of the alley, ignoring her friend's shouts to state otherwise.
Devil Asuka and the anonymous laser beam person were in the air, the man on the ground, trying to fight them off. Xiaoyu looked closer at the anonymous person and it was in fact, Devil Jin. Xiaoyu gasped. I've definitely gotta try and help them.
A/N: In action sequences, I always seem to end them with Xiaoyu thinking about saving someone. Well, its my style:P Ok, hope ya'll liked that and doncha worry, xjmaster. This isn't Jin's official appearance. This is just Devil Jin but he'll be back later on and I think I'll use ur idea on how he'll appear but jus like I said, I'll tweak it a lil so that you don't fully see it coming. Ok, a bit of early action in the story but hope u like it! Thee Slushee out.
