The sky was blue and the air was pure.. weather was perfect as there were numerous clouds in the sky, blocking the sun from view. Down below was a massive building where students poured out of, the bell giving the signal. Today was the last day of school..to most it would mean summer breaks, nonstop parties. But to those who were privilaged in the martial arts, it would be the summer of fighting. As this year was the opening of the sixth King of The Iron Fist Tournament...
"Thank you God! It's finally summer." cried a brown haired girl
"Yeah, my head is throbbing from those exams..Damn teachers.." said a boy
"Come on Billy, it wasn't so bad." another boy sighed
"Speak for yourself Jin! That shit was hard!" Billy yelled, stuffing his hands into his pockets
Jin gave a heart filled laugh, he always thought it was funny to see his cousin struggle
"Hey! Asuka!" a raven haired girl called, her appearance was of chinese descent
"Hey, Xiaoyu! What's up!" Asuka greeted, hugging her friend
"Nothing much, just looking for Miharu.. have you seen her." Xiaoyu asked
"Yeah, she's over there with Kaori and the others.." she pointed out
The group she pointed to were walking over to them
"Hey.. what's up Jin.." a red haired boy asked, his hair dye was leaving, the black roots apparent
"Nothing much Kyo.. how were your finals?" he replied
"Don't ask.. I'm sure I did fine though." Kyo replied
They all talked and laughed while students passed them, until a certain student caught their attention
"You didn't hear! The invitations to the tournament were already sent! They're probably in the mail already." the student informed his friend
The group looked at each other.. then dashed to their cars
Kyo was in the lead, Jin catching up behind him.. until a blonde blur sped past them both
"Eat my Nephilim speed!" the blonde joked, hopping into his Lancer EVO
"Hey! No powers!" Asuka cried
Kyo jumped into his Impreza WRX as Jin got in his Nissan Skyline, Billy went into his Toyota Supra, while the girls crowded into Asuka's Toyota Celica
They sped off from the school, reaching their nearby home in minutes
Billy was first to the mailbox as he pulled out eight invitations, he sprinted inside the house while being followed by the others. He tossed them on the table so everyone could have a look, the letters read:
Kaori Mitsaki
Jin Kazama
Billy Kazama
Jamie Parker
Kyosuke Kazama
Asuka Kazama
Kazuya Mishima
Jun Kazama
Everyone picked up their individual letters and teared it open, after reading the statement, they ran upstairs and started to pack

Annonymous
"Tokyo.. why there?" Jamie asked
"And more importantly, why is mother invited?" Jin thought outloud
"I don't know.. but I do know one thing." Billy stated
"What's that?" Kyo asked
"I'm going to take down that old man, once.. and for all." Billy replied, clenching his fist
"Well, Miharu and I are going back to our apartment and see if we were invited as well. Bye!" Xiaoyu said leaving the house
"Hey! Call me if you two received the letter!" Asuka called out, and was replied with a distant 'yes'
"Well, i'm going to have a talk with mom.." Jin said, walking off
"Come on Kyo, let's go pack." Kaori said tugging her boyfriend out of Kaori's room
That left Asuka in her room alone, she walked over to her bag and whipped out her cell phone, dialing Steve's number
"Hello?" was the British boxer's voice
"Hey Steve!"
"Hey kitten, how are you?"
"Good, how about you?"
"Same, I miss you.."
"I miss you too.."
"So.. why did you call?"
"I wanted to see if you received the invitation to the next tournament."
"Yeah I did actually.. I went through the letter a couple minutes ago."
"Are you going to enter?"
"If it gives me the chance to see you again, yeah."
"You're really sweet, you know that."
"Yeah.. I did."
"Heh.. ass.. talk to you later?"
"I'll be waiting." Steve replied
"Bye.."
"Bye.."
Asuka clicked her phone off and resumed packing,
Jin arrived at his mother's door, he was concerned that his mother was invited since she dropped out of the fighting tournaments years ago since she was killed by Ogre, but now since she became an angel.. did they want her back? Did his mother register herself in or did someone want her to participate? Either way he was going to find out the answers, one way or another.
He hesitantly knocked on the door
"Mother?"
"Yes.. come in.."
He complied by opening the door
"Jin.. how are you?"
"Fine but.. you received this in the mail." he stated, handing her the invitation
"Intersting, it seems that someone wants me to participate in the event." she replied
"Are you going to enter?"
"Yes.. it's getting a little tiring being a housewife and all." she replied smiling
"Mom, you can't be serious." he argued
"Why not?" she asked
"Because you dropped out of the tournaments years ago."
"All the more reason for me to return. Don't worry Jin, I still have my moves." she replied
He gave a long sigh as he submitted
"Fine...where's father?"
"His still at the corporation, he won't come home till late tonight."
"Alright, could you have the table ready for a discussion tonight? I want ALL of us down there, talking about the matters dealing with the tournament." he asked
"Sure.. i'll have everything read by seven tonight." she agreed with a smile
"Thanks mom." Jin said, leaving her room
"And Jin?" she asked
"Yeah?" he poked his head from the doorway
"You've grown up.." she praised, smiling
"Well running a business can do that to you."
Kyo sat at the foot of his bed, Kaori laid against the closet
"So.. are we going to enter again?" she asked, playing with the zipper on her pink backpack
"Yeah..it's been awhile since last time." Kyosuke mused, ruffling his hair. Even though a year or so passed, everyone had changed dramatically. Kyo's hair was longer, fully covering his brown eyes, the hair dye was still apparent but the black roots were visable at the center of his head. His muscles were slightly larger, mostly from soccer and track practices at College. Kaori had also grown up quite a bit as well, her hair was at her waist, her new trademark pink ribbon was tied in her hair. She had also developed in the women's department, her chest slightly larger and the appearance of more curves in her body. She earned the curves from her constant training and tennis practice. Her appearance wasn't the only thing that has changed, her attitude wasn't as the little innocent girl people knew her by anymore. She learned to be more assertive, as well as showing her feelings. But at rare moments, her kid like shyness would appear, mostly around Kyo.
"How long was it? A year?" she asked, her question snapping him out of his thoughts
"Yeah.." he replied walking over to the glass case in the corner of his room, he opened the case to take out the white jacket he received from Kaori at the last tournament. It looked brand new, the red angel wings on the back still perfectly intacted. He laid the jacket on the side of his bed and returned to the case to pull out the black muscle shirt and the white pants with the black cross and the red and white angel feathers entangled around the holy articfact on the right pant leg. The last thing he pulled out from the case were the white shoes that he placed by his bed. He gave a long sigh and fell against the soft matress. Kaori rose and laid on top of him, her head resting against his chest.
"It's going to fun to see everyone again.." Kaori said, snuggling closer
"Yeah.. I wonder what it's like over there." Kyo mused, stroking her head
Their door opened to reveal Asuka
"Hey.. Xiaoyu just called to tell us that her and Miharu were invited to the tournament." she informed
"Cool.." was Kaori's response, Kyo just grunted in approval
Asuka smiled towards the two and closed the door
Jamie sat in his computer chair with the headphones around his neck, in his hand was his cell phone, he dialed the desired numbers and held it against his ear
"Hello?" was a feminine voice
"Hey Mina.. I just wanted to tell you that I was invited to the next King of The Iron Fist Tournament."
"Really? That's really cool." she replied
"Yeah I know.." he agreed
"So are you going?"
"Yeah, i'm going to try and take the title this year." he replied laughing
"Well be careful Jamie.." she pleaded, twirling her finger around a strand of hair
"I will..I miss you.."
"I miss you too..maybe I can try to get a plane ticket there." she thought outloud
"Try to okay." Jamie replied, closing his eyes
"I will..bye."
"Bye.."
He fell on the bed matress holding the cell phone in his hands...hopefully Mina would be there soon, he missed her. His ponytail had gotten longer in length, falling in the middle of his back. At the moment, he changed out of his school clothes and was currently wearing a grey t-shirt and long tan khakis, his shoes at the feet of the bed. His muscles were slightly bigger, as he continued to surf around atthe bays in Japan. He practiced his martial arts in the deep forest with Kyo on the weekeneds. Jin would join the duo on some occasions but other than that, it was just the two of them. Billy trained himself as well, but he prefered to be by himself when he did his workout.
"Everyone! We're having a meeting!" Jin voice blared from downstairs, everyone's bedroom doors opened all at once, they looked at each other and ran down the stairs
"I wonder what's this is about.." Jamie said to Kyo
"My guess is that it's dealing with the tournament." was his response
"I can't wait! We're going to Tokyo!" Asuka cheered, causing Kaori to laugh
"Does itsnow there?" Billy asked
"In the winter time.. and the tournament is long too so I guess were going to still be there in the winter." was Jamie's answer
They reached the bottom of the stairs and headed to the dining room where Jin was sitting patiently
"Is it time doctor?" Heihachi asked, entering the lab
"Yes.. he successfully absorbed both genes." Doctor Boskonovitch replied
"Perfect.. release the stage gel." he ordered
The doctor nodded and typed numerous words on the electronic pad. The green gel released from the tube, leaving the project laying in a fetal position.
"Open the tube." Heihachi ordered
"Yes sir.." the glass slid open as Heihachi walked over to it. He stared at the project, who had opened his violet eyes, staring back
"Who- who are.. you?" the project asked
"I.. I am your creator.. Heihachi Mishima."
"Hei..Heihachi?"
"Yes.. you are my project.. my son..Shugo."
"Shugo?.."
"Yes.. your name is Shugo..Shugo Mishima."
"Shugo..Mishima." he repeated
"Doctor, get him some clothes.. and make sure they're something that he'll blend into. I'm going to enter him into the tournament." Heihachi said
"Are you sure?"
"Yes.. he will be the key in the anihhilation of Kazuya and his worthless family."
"Understood." the doctor replied leaving the room, he returned later with a black turtle neck sweater, dark blue pants, boxers and black shoes
The doctor gave them to Shugo and left the room with Heihachi
"So.. I see his speech has improved." Heihachi commented
"Yes, he has all the characteristics of a human being, feeling, sense of smell, touch, and emotions."
"I see.." Heihachi wasn't too fond of the emotions ideal, but still he was perfect nontheless
"His body is also as a human being. His age is supposed to be nineteen years old."
"So he could fool any person?"
"Any person sir.."
"Doctor, I must admit.. you've outdone yourself."
"Why thank you, your thanks are greatly appreciated."
The electronic door opened to reveal Shugo, in his full outfit. He made his way over to Heihachi and Boskonovitch
"Shugo..what is your fighting style?"
"Assassination.. and to some sort of a degree, Ninjitsu." was his reply
"So.. he has the same moves as Nina?" Heihachi asked the doctor
"No.. Nina attacks using powerful strikes, using both hands. Shugo on the other hand, uses his hands to form pressure points, stirking the opponent in specific areas using his index and middle finger. They can be quite deadly when enough strength his applied." the doctor informed
"Perfect..Shugo.. i'm going to send you to the King of Iron Fist tournament. I want you to defeat your oppenents and make it to the finals."
"Alright, but why am I being send there?" the purple haired teenager asked
"To defeat a couple relatives of mine, i'll prepare a jet for you soon."
"Alright.." he gave a long yawn "Geez.. that tube was cramped.." he muttered stretching
His comment made Heihachi and Boskonovitch laugh
This chapter in my opinion was horrible. I had all these ideas in my mind and I think that might have harmed this chapter. I hope that the chapters will get better from this point on. Also, throughout the story, Shugo will fall in love with one of the competetors..try and guess who in your reveiews.
