They took out as many things as they could. Including Yumi's body, and all the other pieces of Soul Edge. It didn't take long before the Manji clan had regained their wealth, and until we had all the fragments.

When we returned to the cargo base, we took a good look at what we had.

"These are indeed the pieces that Yumi kept to herself." Talim said.

I noticed something else: "Hey! Isn't that that sword that Cervantes used? Yumi took care of most of the work for us, with or against her will as Charade!"

There was a moment of silence. I don't know what went through Talim just then, it was almost like she was meditating. After she was done she said: "We have all the fragments now!"

"We do?" I asked surprised. I mean, how could she know such a thing?

"All we need to do is find the sword!"

Thinking I might understand her fixation with the wind, I asked: "What does the wind tell you?"

Talim looked at me as if I just asked a stupid question, so I said: "Never mind!"

"Do you have any idea as to where to find the sword?" she asked.

"Not really!"

Talim wasn't convinced of my answer: "Are you sure?"

There was something I remember to have read on the stories before, however saying that out loud may seem a bit of a stretch. Nevertheless, I started talking: "There are two others who may know something, but..."

Yoshimitsu just entered the base, and interrupted me: "Ah, there you are!"

He gave us a few packs of fifty dollars bills. I was curious why he was giving me more money than he's already given me, so I asked: "Haven't you given me enough money by now?"

"I have!" he said, "But while you were still in the cave, leaving your box unguarded, and the others returned to the plane, some took the situation to their advantage!"

I picked up the packs as I said: "I see! Thanks!"

Again I had a hard time to do anything at all, in this case putting the money back in the box. Talim was about to do it for me, but I stopped her by saying: "Maybe it's best if we keep one pack in our own pockets! You never know!"

Yoshimitsu checked on us: "So, you have everything now?"

"Apart from the sword, yes!" I answered.

Talim, without any hesitation, asked Yoshimitsu: "Do you know where to find it?"

"No." he said, "Although I think I know somebody who does!"

Both Talim and I asked this simultaneously: "Who?"

Yoshimitsu started his explanation: "The ancient scrolls tell us that our hero Yoshimitsu once met a visitor from the future, who worked along side another visitor."

"Curious!" I said, "I was about to mention those two!"

"Were you?" he seemed surprised to hear this, "What do you know?"

"Not much!" I told him, "I know one was a hell spawn, the other was a guy who claimed to be Japanese and didn't bother much to use weapons in a fight."

"Yes!" the description seemed to fit Yoshimitsu's knowledge, "They are both mentioned! Supposedly they were the last ones to have seen Soul Edge!"

"But since they were visitors from the future, they may be from a future that is already in the past by now." I thought out loud.

"Yes, I thought so too," Yoshimitsu said, "until I met Heihachi!"

That was a name that didn't ring a bell to me: "Who's Heihachi?"

"Not so surprised you don't know his name!" he seemed to enjoy this, "That Japanese guy you mentioned was called Heihachi, and his description fitted in every detail!"

"And you actually know that man?" Talim asked.

"We've met on occasions." was all he could say to that, "But I never asked him about Soul Edge, or my clan would become a mockery of the underground world."

I had it figured out though: "So we find this Heihachi, and we may get the info we need. Is that what you're trying to say?"

"Can you take us to him?" Talim requested.

"I'm sorry," Yoshimitsu apologized, "but my clan has other priorities right now. But I can get you to a befriended pilot who will take you to Japan!"

I still had one more question: "Then how do we find Heihachi?"

"You can find him in the yellow pages! It's really not so difficult." he made it sound so easy.

So he left the cargo base, to do what he said he was going to do. There was something else which bothered Talim however.

"How could you not know Heihachi's name, but he did?" she asked me.

"They never mentioned his name anywhere! Maybe the Manjitou clan wanted to keep it all a secret!"

She still didn't quite understand: "Then how do you know there was someone at all?"

"Perhaps they didn't do a pretty good job at hiding it!" I laughed, "It's the same with the Free Masons, the Priory of Sion,... all secret organizations, each with their own secrets, but if they really were that secretive nobody would even know they existed at all!"

Yoshimitsu had kept his word. He brought us to another airfield, told the airman he mentioned what to do, and then the airman brought us to Japan.
