The Warriors Within:
Chapter 5 : Let's Get Jacked!
The group continued on their way. Joe kept an eye on Jin from time to time. As they walked….
Ling: So, how much more do we have to walk?
Jin: (looking at the map) If we continue at this speed, we'll be in the village Shino by evening.
Hwoarang: I hope there is a bar.
Jin: I hope not. We can't deal with you throwing up and feeling sick in the morning.
Hwoarang: What do you think I'm some kind of a weakling who can't even drink a bottle of beer, without falling sick? Eh, Kazama?
Jin: (quietly) I do not seek a fight with you, Hwoarang.
Hwoarang: Yeah, you are gonna lose! You will run to your mama and cry, won't you?
Julia: Hwoarang, stop it! Don't talk like that.
Hwoarang: Sorry, Kazama, but you know, you get on my nerves.
Suddenly, they heard a noise. A whirring noise, as if something was charging to shoot…
BAM!
In front of the group stood a Jack-8. The Jack-8 was the latest model of the Mishima Zaibatsu. (Heihachi had taken captive over Jane and force her to create advanced Jacks.)
BAM! BAM!
Two more Jacks arrived.
Jin: Alright, get ready to fight.
Hwoarang: Let's kick some metal!
Jin did a back kick to a Jack which was just momentarily pushed back. It punched Jin, who was thrown backwards. Ling went forward to tackle
The Jack, and sent it flying. She helped Jin up.
Jin: Thanks.
Ling blushed in reply. Jin pulled his fist back and pulverized the Jack behind her. Ling smiled and together both of them fought the Jack.
Another Jack was handled by Hwoarang. "Need any help?" called Julia.
"No, I can handle it myse….Shit!"The Jackhad caught him in a bear hug. Julia walked forward and opened the control panel of the Jack. She punched in a number combo. The Jack immediately went berserk and let go of Hwoarang. Hwoarang regained his footing and performed a spectacular Flying Eagle followed by Machine Gun Kicks which reduced the Jack to nuts and bolts.
Ling also did a series of Chinese kicks and punches and Jin followed it with a Menace to the Society, splitting the Jack apart.
Joe and Asuka were by far the best team. Asuka gave the Jack a Spin Power Kick which sent it flying in the air. But before it could touch the ground, Joe performed a Spinning Bullet ( a move in which the user pushes himself off the ground, right at the opponent in the air, fist upward and followed by a kick upward.)
The Jack lay in splinters. Joe landed gracefully on his feet.
Jin: There's bound to come more. Let's get out of here as fast as we can.
The group ran tired as they were and eventually arrived at village Shino. Shino was a beautiful village which was full of color. They could tell from the look itself that It was a peaceful town, undisturbed by the terrors outside. The knowledge that there existed at least some places, which were not under the Mishimas, filled their hearts with happiness.
As each of them unloaded their backpacks at their hotel room….
Jin: Ok, I know that we would all like to see around this place. So we meet at this hotel room by 7, alright?
Hwoarang: That's fine with me, Kazama. Don't get lost, or you might start crying.
Jin: Shut up, piece of…!
The group dispersed. Ling and Jin went together. Hwoarang inquired about any bars around, and on finding out there was one quite close by, sprinted off. Julia decided to visit the local Wildlife Centre. Joe and Asuka headed for the Net café.
Shino Summer Fair…
Ling: What a beautiful amusement park!
Jin: (smiling) Yes. Would you like to go on any ride?
Ling: Yes! How about the roller coaster?
Jin: (hesitantly) Are you sure?
Ling: (pulling his hand) Of course. Come on!
Shino Wildlife Centre….
Julia walked around. This place was built creatively, the setting was beautiful. Usually, the people walked around cages of animals. It pained Julia to see the animals in cages. But here, the setting was turned over. Now, the humans were inside a huge glass building-like cage, and the animals roamed freely around the area outside. Julia loved the setting. She examined a cheetah, its shiny coat glimmering in the sun. She smiled at the feline and it purred in reply. She continued gazing at it… She did not notice a figure raising an object behind her…. The figure lowered the object at her back and Julia fell to the floor unconscious. The figure lifted her and walked into a room…..
