The Warriors Within:

Chapter 3 : Race Away!

Three days passed with preparations for the Warriors' journey. They will be using Joe's car as a transport since Fuji-Nion was so far away. On the day of the journey, Jin was getting ready, his bag slung back on his shoulder. There was a knock on the door. "Come in," said Jin. It was Ling. She blushed. He looked very handsome. Jin thought that Ling looked very pretty too.

"We are required at the meeting." She said, shyly. Jin nodded. "Thanks, Ling. By the way, you look very pretty today." he said before he could stop himself. Ling blushed and whispered a 'Thank You' and left. Jin left, after taking a look at the apartment for one last time.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Meanwhile, Hwoarang was already at the meeting. Joe was sitting beside him on the podium. The both of them had become good friends, and used to work as a great team in Baek's Training sessions. As they sat, in front of the people of Fighterre, Jin joined them. The girls were sitting on the other side. Joe caught Asuka staring at him. He looked at her, smiled and winked. She smiled in response.

Yoshimitsu walked on stage and gave a long speech. Not many listened. "….. and, so, we wish you luck, oh great Warriors! May God watch over you!" Hwoarang whispered to Joe: "That was the cheesiest speech, I've ever heard." Joe snickered. Yoshimitsu glared at them. Ten minutes later, the six young people got into Joe's beautiful Skyline. Just then, a man who was standing lookout on the sentry tower cried out: "DANGER! The Tekken forces are arriving!" Everyone was alarmed. Yoshimitsu yelled to the man: "How big?" The man replied: "I can't see the finishing end." Yoshimitsu turned to Jin: "Master Mishima, you have to take the other route. The Tekken forces are coming in the way. We will fight them. But you must go!"

"But…" started Jin.

"GO!"

Joe slammed the accelerator and turned 360 degrees. Without pausing a breath, the car sped out through another route and raced across the road.

Marduk looked at Fighterre citizens, getting ready to fight. He looked the other way and saw a shiny silver bumper of a car speed across. He took out his communicator. "Mr. Mishima, the six brats are escaping.!" The angry voice on the other end cried out: "So go after them fool!" "With pleasure!" Taking 5 jeeps full of Tekken force soldiers, he raced after them on his Porsche.

"Alright which way?" asked Joe. Jin spread out a map. A few seconds of surveying later, he pointed out the route. A clear and long road which seemed to stretch for miles. Joe grinned maliciously. "I am gonna love this!" He floored the accelerator.

The car picked up more and more speed. Jin looked at the rear-view mirror. Marduk's huge figure towered inside the Porsche.

Marduk yelled through the communicator: "Fire!" The Tekken soldiers in the jeeps started firing arrays of bullets at the Skyline. Joe swerved right and left to avoid the bullets. Meanwhile, Hwoarang rummaged through the bag he brought along and took out two pistols. Leaning out, and carefully aiming at the driver of the first jeep, he fired two shots. The soldier was wounded and lost control of the jeep and the jeep crashed onto the road. Jin also threw out some hen grenades. One hit its mark and the jeep exploded. Joe concentrated on the road, but the bullets were hitting the door on his side. "Damn these assholes!"he snarled. Taking a pistol and one hand on the wheel, he looked at his sideview mirror. Aiming at a jeep according to the mirror, he fired a couple of shots. The jeep crashed and BOOM!. Hwoarang sat back. It wasn't comfortable, for six people to sit in and the girls had to adjust. It resulted in Ling sitting on the floor and Julia on Hwoarang's lap, something Julia wasn't comfortable with.

"Hold on everybody!" yelled Joe. Everyone held on to their seats firmly. The last thing Jin saw was Joe fingering two buttons on the steering wheel, two buttons marked N2O. The next moment they were speeding through the road and into a jungle.

Marduk watched the car speed out of sight. "Shit!" He took out his communicator. "Mission failed."

The angry voice on the other end was livid.
