Chapter 5: The Gripping Truth

"Miss Williams…"

A voice repeated itself in the assassin's ear.

"Miss Williams…open your eyes…"

Baby blue shown brilliantly from below a figure's point of view. Nina started to focus her vision on the silhouette and when it was clear she saw a man she'd hoped to be dead- Dr. Bonsconovich.

"Y-you! The one who…wait…how can I be…"

"Alive you were to say? True, miss Williams you were on the verge of death but apparently you managed to reach the call button in time. The doctors cured you of the poison and fired the nurse who went up to your room before the incident. Later on they called me and told me to take you into my hands once again."

"Why the hell would they call you! Are you planning some more goddamn experiments on me? After all I'm your most profitable guinea pig, am I right!"

He held his hand up. "I have no desire to do anymore lab-related testing with the Mishima Zaibatsu. I have found the solution to reviving my dead daughter and that's what matters."

"I'm so happy for you!" she blurted out in the most sarcastic way possible. "Now I'll be going back-"

"There's no where left for you to go back to miss Williams. The place where you made your stay is completely leveled and many people were killed in the process. Owners state to never allow you to access any residency in Japan."

"…Raven…" she murmured.

Dr. B granted her freedom from the room but not his homestead. Nina felt utterly lost and alone, but there were some things that went unsolved in her mind. Only this Russian man would have the answers.

"Why were Anna and I put into a cold sleep in the first place?"

"Oh, come on now you know why. You volunteered for it."

"Don't give me that! There was something else, another reason for us as sisters to be put away for 15 years that you're not telling me! Start spilling it, old timer!"

Her threats were fierce but hollow. She was still far too wobbly to fight and she had no weapons on her.

"It was Kazuya who wanted it this way. HE simply chose you two because of the convenience, not to mention that you siblings were in such a deep rivalry towards each other that you didn't notice a set up take place. Lee purposefully got involved with you and Anna because he was at the time in league with Kazuya. It was all thought out from the day he took over to when I created the cold sleep machine."

Kazuya. That name still made her want to vomit. He'd been a grade A asswipe since the day he hired her to kill Heihachi, an assignment that failed miserably.

"I think I know who my next target is…"

"Please don't be so rash, Williams. Kazuya has become more powerful since his death and rebirth and-"

"He's to blame for my memory loss, betrayal AND the exploitation of my body! You know what I'm talking about…"

Dr. B stepped to the other side of the room. "Ah, yes. The test to see if a human in cold sleep could give birth to a living being. Steve Fox is his name?"

She nodded in remorse. Dr. B opened his mouth as if he wished to add more but he wasn't sure of himself. Nina saw this gesture and glared at him.

"Well?" she urged impatiently.

"Are you curious as to the boy's origins?" he inquired.

"Why would I be? He came from me and that's all there is to it."

"But it takes two to tango miss Williams. I'm referring to the other parent…"

"Oh," she thought abruptly. She hadn't even thought about Steve's biological father. "Who is it if it even matters?"

"It matters a great deal it does. On Steve's left arm is a scar which symbolizes a piece of his heritage, a piece which I'm sad to say isn't very pleasant."

"Do I really want to know this? Just the thought of me having a kid alone is aching…"

"There was no other man who wished to sacrifice just a sperm…"

"Would you get one with it!"

"We had no choice but to use…"

"WHAT?"

"…the sperm of Kazuya Mishima was the only thing available to us."

Nina started to gag on her own tongue. She acted deaf for a moment, not wanting to hear such utter revolt. It was obvious that it came through clearly and she was facing delirium.

"He couldn't complain or say no because he was 'dead' and G Corporation was just trying to bring him back. I had no strong ties with the Mishima's anymore since The King of Iron Fist Tournament 3 so I asked for the use of his sperm and-"

Without hesitation Nina socked Dr. B in the gut and pushed him against the bed. He spit up and lay back, coughing rapidly.

"You just thought you could get away with it all didn't you? That precious daughter of yours is all that mattered and you went to the greatest lengths to bring her back. Well Doctor, I'm afraid that you won't be getting to see her anytime soon…"

She grasped his neck in both her hands and swiftly squeezed his vocal cords. He squirmed and kept mouthing words but Nina never gave in. Then he pulled out a device with a button on it and pressed it, falling back into the dominant force of the assassin. Not paying attention to much else, this act of murder was ceased when a window burst open and a scary-looking figure wielding a sword dashed for her. Pulling the blade back he aimed for her arms and would've surely chopped them off hadn't she drawn back. Now on the verge of an all-out rampage, Nina leaped out of the window and ran a great distance away from the house.

The skeletal man began to pursue her but was stopped. "Don't go after her Yoshimitsu, if she survives this day then she will return."

Consoled, he drew his sword back into the scabbard and aided his friend.

In a small café merely a few streets down from Dr. B's home, Steve Fox was having a cup of coffee and practically falling asleep from the boredom that Japan's sports channels brought. When it came to sports he was confident that Boxing could beat no other.

"I should've stayed in Britain. At least there was something to entertain me…"

Just as his head fell back he noticed a blonde-haired woman wearing a white and red lacy outfit and matching boots come his way. He sprung up eagerly only to realize she wasn't heading in his direction after all. She had a nervous countenance.

"Uh, excuse me miss!" he waved his hands at her; she did a double take and cautiously came toward him.

"Yes, what do you want!"

"You look a little shook up there. Mind if I get you something to drink?"

"That's ok, I'm fine. It's just that when I came down here this crazy woman came out of nowhere and was armed with knives and a gun! She terrorized an entire street into submission and kept asking if anyone's seen a golden blonde man around."

Sternly, he got out of his seat and put some yen on the table. He stretched out his hand for hers but she hesitated.

"Why are you so eager to help me?" she questioned.

"As my father once told me and I've once told a woman, never turn down a lady in need."

She was easily moved by his chivalry and took his hand as they walked out of the café together. The woman motioned near the street she'd come from.

"Over there is where I last ran into her."

"Hmmm…I already see someone coming…"

It was a woman whom he did see, a woman he had familiarized himself with since that day. Once the fair-hair and sapphire eyes were visible it wasn't hard to figure out.

"Nina Williams!" he said somewhat taken aback.

"You know her?"

"Sort of…"

Nina had her arm crossed over her chest and a dagger in hand. Once they had made eye contact she flung the weapon at full speed, so fast Steve couldn't dodge it in time. He leaped out of the way only to have it drive into the meatiest part of the brit's body-his scar.

"Agh!" he cringed, signaling the aid of the girl.

"Hold still and I'll pull it out!" she said while slowly and nervously drawing it from his flesh.

"Wait a sec!" he tried to stop her but then something happened. A few lightning bolts emitted from the bleeding scar, shocking the poor girl into a knockout. She fell by his side.

Kneeling further down to comprehend what he'd done, Steve could only manage to hear the assassin's words.

"At first I thought Kazuya should die…but now I think you should be dealt with first…my dear sweet child…"

"What are you talking about?"

Note: Yes they do seem to meet each other in the craziest ways but I have to keep it this way. Thanks again for the reviews guys! I think this is the most I gotten for only 4 chapters in the making which really makes me feel good! And remember Thunderxtw and jc-1225, if you find any stories about Nina or have any of your own don't forget to post them on our C2 community! Until the next chapter…
