JIN

Father won his fight against Paul and now we were to face each other. Only one of us could face Heihachi and I hoped to hell it would be me. I had lost to Father in the last tournament, which is why I turned into Devil. But this would be different. In fact, it was more different than I thought it would be. Father forfeited

"What are you doing?" I asked

"It's better off if you face Heihachi. You have a better chance of defeating him"

"Why are you forfeiting?"

"I just told you, damn it, now go and fight Heihachi"

He turned his back and left. I looked up at Heihachi

"Ladies and gentlemen, it seems we have a withdrawal. Kazuya Mishima has pulled out of the tournament, leaving Jin Kazama to face against the champion"

He got up from the podium and joined me on the arena. I got into my stance, as Heihachi removed his clothing to reveal his black gi with the tiger face on the back

"Gee, it must have been hot under there," I said

"Shut up, Jin and let's fight"

He struck at me with a right punch; following by a spinning heavy right punch and finished with a leaping spin kick. I was thrown along the arena ground and flipped onto my feet. Heihachi came at me, but I caught him with Savage Sword and kicked him back, before chasing after him. He got up, just as I sank my fist into his stomach and knocked him back. I ran at Heihachi again, but just as I reached him, he grabbed me by the throat, lifted me up and tossed me across the arena. I gritted my teeth and got up. Thoughts about Julia entered my mind and I used that to draw on inspiration

Heihachi and I ran at each other. He jumped towards me, left foot aimed at my head, as I swung my right fist at him. We hit each other at the same time and were thrown away from each other. I got to my feet and ran towards Heihachi. I ducked his hook and swept his legs out from underneath him, before flipping onto him. I rolled onto my feet, as Heihachi kicked me back. I got up again and blocked Heihachi's uppercut. But he got me with Twin Pistons, lifting me into the air. He juggled me with his leaping double kick and slammed me into the ground. As I got up, Heihachi ran over and spun, slamming his fist into my hips and throwing me along the ground

I got back up and caught the old man with a scissors kick. As he fell, I knocked him towards the end of the arena with Savage Sword, before running at me. Heihachi got up and smacked me in the head, before grabbing me around the waist, lifting me up and dropping me on my back. I rolled away from him and got to my feet

"You're putting up a good fight, Jin, but let's see how much longer you can last for"

I thought about using my powers, but I decided against it. Heihachi struck at me with both fists, but I blocked and kicked him first in the shins, then in the stomach. He got me with his infamous Demon's Breath move, blowing me back. I flipped onto my feet and did a left axe kick, knocking him down. As he went to get up, I did an Laser Annihilator on him. Heihachi rose up, as I began charging my ki around my left arm. Heihachi came at me and went to strike, but I slammed my right fist into his chest, discharging my ki into him and knocking him off the stage

"Jin Kazama is the winner of the King of Iron Fist Tournament 6. Congratulations Jin!" cried the announcer

I sighed and looked at Heihachi, who got up and headed back to the podium. I left the arena and was engulfed by Julia, as Asuka and Father came over

"Congratulations," whispered Julia

I let her go and turned to Heihachi

"Heihachi, what about that Forest Rejuvenation data you've got?" I called out, "I think I deserve that"

Dejected, he came over and handed me the data, before sulking away. I gave the data to Julia and watched as her eyes lit up. She looked up at me and smiled

"Thank you!"

Driven by impulse, I kissed her on the lips. We were lip-locked for about a minute, until Father cleared his throat. I broke away from Julia and looked at him

"What?"

He nodded towards the arena. There, standing in the middle of the arena, surrounded by a wolf-like spirit, was Mother. I looked at Father

"You have to fight her?"

"Why"

"Because I believe you're the only one who can free her"
