Sachi Gosetsuke: Yes, an actual update! And as you can tell, I've changed my pen name.
And my excuse for lack of updates: well, I've been a bit caught up with my new Xiaoyin story Playing With Fate. It takes place after Jin's Tekken 4 Ending; only, it's not exactly like Tekken 5, so I guess you can say it's slightly AU. However, I've been having some mixed feelings on this since I can't decide whether it should be flat-out romance or have some action/adventure in it. What do you think?
And amazingly, this is one of my favorite stories to write about, despite the fact I only have 3 reviews so far. I don't know it's just that I'm a sucker for romance, and with Xiaoyin, I'm very content.
Moving on, I've also had some updates with my site (see homepage) and I have something in the updates I want you to see.
AND before we go into the chapter (you all probably want to shoot me right now) I just want to give a MAJOR big thank you to ALL who have reviewed, whether you've reviewed for each chapter of this story or only once. I would have never thought I would reach to 104 reviews, and for my first story! Without you I am nothing! I LOVE YOU ALL!
Enough with my babbling. Onto the fight we've been waiting for!

JIN v OGREHeihachi and Jin walked steadily down the narrow stone stairs. With each step, Jin regained confidence and strength…and at the same remembered what he was fighting for.
With each step Jin remembered his mother. Which each step he remembered the good times with him and his family in Yakushima forest. With each step he remembered how Ogre killed Jun, and soon anger burnt inside of him.
Heihachi could tell what Jin was thinking. His tattoo began to glow bright blue and his eyes showed anger and hatred, and he resembled his deceased father so much…and yet Heihachi didn't do anything to stop him. This was his strength, he thought, his anger and hatred for this monster was the only thing keeping him strong and it gave him confidence…let's just hope he wasn't cocky like his father…
Soon they reached their destination. The lit torches cast a golden glow on the stone floor. It was as if Ogre had been preparing the match with him and Jin…this of course Heihachi had expected; he knew that Ogre wanted to fight Jin for so long, already having sensed his strength.
They stopped in the middle of the temple and observed their surroundings. But before they spoke to each other, the floor began to quake once more. They kept their feet planted on the ground though – however, a mere yet powerful gust of wind blew Heihachi away from Jin.
Jin turned to his grandfather, but all to suddenly, he felt a powerful blast knock him to the ground. And there stood towering over him was Ogre.
Jin recognized the moment he saw him. He looked the same as he did 4 years ago – piercing evil red eyes and green skin, he glared down at Jin, with a blank expressionless face – but his eyes showed determination all too well, and it showed his desire for the power locked away in Jin.
Jin was on his feet fast, ready n his fighting stance. It was all-natural to him: fighting. Ogre came at him, floating in the air to give him a powerful punch that would have knocked cold any ordinary man – but by now we know that Jin is anything but ordinary. Instead his hands found Ogre's fist and he threw him with all his might to the wall.
Ogre's back landed hard on the wall and he ricochet onto the floor. Jin attacked low, kicking at his side until Ogre came back up in his fighting stance. They fought, and Jin gave in everything he learned from his grandfather – and his mother.
Everything was going according to plan as Heihachi watched the fight. He was so caught up with the fighting he almost forgot about the Tekken Force. He grabbed his walkie-talkie and spoke into it: "I want all Tekken Force surrounding the perimeter, heavily armed. We're down here. I want some of the Tekken Forces to guard the temple. Now!"
Of course this went by unnoticed by Ogre and Jin. (A/N: well DUH)
Jin thought he was doing pretty well – we all thought he was doing well – but Ogre was a very sly one. They fight for fun, for the prize from their opponents – flesh blood. Strength. However, when they fight, they understand how strong their opponent is. In this case, Jin was a very worthy fighter. So all the while, while dodging and blocking Jin's attacks, he learned…
Of course, Jin learned to. It came naturally with excelled fighters to learn when their opponents attacked or not. But of course, Ogre wasn't even human – he was much more than that, therefore learning Jin's fighting made everything far worse.
Soon the tables turned on Jin and he found himself blocking and dodging Ogre's attacks. He found it hard to give his famous uppercuts and his signature Mishima combos and Kazama style moves without being hit, or actually hitting Ogre.
The gaze that Ogre held on Jin seemed provoking, and it infuriated Jin. But before he knew it, Ogre's hand found his way to Jin's neck.
Jin grasped Ogre's hand for dear life. The corner of Ogre's lips turned up making a smirk as Jin struggled. His fist on Jin's neck clenched tighter, and tighter as Jin gasped for air. And as the oxygen escaped from him, Ogre began to speak to him in his head.
Give it up…your just a mere mortal…give in to the pain Jin…give in…give me your strength…you don't have a chance…His fist clenched tighter onto Jin's throat, and he could feel his windpipes being crushed.
You never had a chance…did you think it would be easy to defeat me? To defeat me, Ogre, God of Fighting…mwahahahaha…silly little mortal…foolish boy…
Jin's face turned blue as he glared, full-force at Ogre. This is not the end…not now!
It is the end Ogre could read everything in Jin's head. It will be the end for you…and your mother…
When he spoke of his mother, anger boiled up inside Jin…in fact his eyes began to seem crimson…
You should've seen her before I killed her…she begged for mercy…I made her beg for life…but she did care about you and that stupid sister of yours…she told me not to harm you…but I didn't…what would be the fun in that if I killed you then, without a good fight like right now? So that's what I did…granted her one last request and killed her…and then took her strength of course…and now I'll do that to you…so then Jin…any last requests while you still have one last breath in your pathetic body?
Eyes now glowing crimson and tattoo glowing blue, he growled, "GO TO HELL!"
With all the strength he could manage…and perhaps some help from the Devil Gene deep within him, he tore his neck away from Ogre. Rubbing his throat, his eyes crimson red and his tattoo glowing, he glowered at the shocked Ogre. And he fought him like never before.
Jin fought with such rage, such anger; it wasn't like him at all. It was because of the Devil Gene that made him fight with wanton violence. But it was also because of HIM that he was so angry…(well you would be angry too if some monster freak made fun of your mom).
And Jin gave in one last attack, to end the wretched creature – Dragon Fist Uppercut.
Jin stood towering over the defeated Ogre. He lay there defeated, in shock, and dieing. Ogre reached towards him, in an attempt to absorb Jin's power – but Jin wouldn't allow it. Full of wanton rage and not himself, he began to beat him to a pulp, until there was no longer any breath left in the creature – but he continued anyway, with red eyes of a devil. With each hit, he let his anger out – his grief and sorrow for the loss of his mother – for he knew that even though he now had his vengeance, she would never return...he knew it all along…but it hadn't occurred to him until now…
Finally he stopped, breathing heavily. Soon his breathing became normal and the devilish glow stopped from his tattoo and the brown of his eyes came back from the crimson glow it had before.
It was done.
Yet Jin felt hollow. Like it was all nothing. Well what did he expect? Revenge wasn't the answer…yet something still seemed wrong…terribly wrong…
He was surrounded. Everywhere, Tekken Force. What was going on? Why were they aiming their guns…on…hi-?
The fired their guns on him. He fell to the ground in a bloody mass and they still kept shooting. When they were through, he looked up in pain, through the pool of blood that surrounded him…to find his grandfather standing over him…
He reached out a hand. "Grandpa-" he moaned in pain. But before he knew it, Heihachi aimed his gun at him. And fired…and doing so, he ended the life of Jin Kazama.
With one last look at his dead grandson, he nodded at his Tekken Force. "Gather all DNA from Ogre," he said.
As turned and walked off, he stopped. Something wasn't right…
Before he knew what was happening, the Tekken Forces were thrown to the walls of the temple by some inexplicable force. Heihachi turned to the source…and found Jin slowly standing up straight, his back hunched…
He arched his back and cried out. Black wings with feathers had spread out from his back and his whole body was covered in strange black markings…When Jin saw his grandfather, filled with shock and amazement, Jin's eyes were crimson red, filled with hate. He flew out from the temple and into the night, his silhouette with wings and all casting off from the full moons shine.
And floating to the ground were a mass of black feathers…feathers from wings…wings from a devil…

Finally! Over and done with that! What did you think? Sorry if the fighting scenes were a bit rushed. Sorry of this whole chapter was rushed. I just wanted to get this chapter over with and go on to the next chapter – that LAST chapter. I know, I know, boo-hoo; we're almost done with this story.
And you all may have had some questions on the last chapter with Asuka: like how they said she had "obliterated the Tekken Force." Devil Gene? I don't think so! Heihachi said that the tattoo activates the Devil Gene…only Jin had the tattoo…so how? Well go to the very first chapter of this story: the prologue. And find out for yourselves!
But how did Jin get the tattoo? Hmm…
