I walked up onto the arena to face Mother. Her body was covered in a dark-blue, purple slime-like clothing, except for her arms and shoulders. Her yellow eyes blazed at me, as the spirit disappeared

"Hello, Mother," I said

"I am not your mother"

"Sure you are. Don't you know who you are?"

"Don't you dare do what Kazuya tried to do: tell me I'm Jun Kazama. I can't be"

"What makes you think that? What makes you think you're not Jun Kazama. Because you are her. I know my mother"

"Shut up and fight me"

"I won't"

"Fight me!"

"I won't"

"Fight me, now!"

"No"

"Then I will make you"

I was thrown back by an unseen force and ripped up chunks of the arena. I got to my feet, as black-feathered wings unfolded from Mother's back. The wolf spirit returned and she flew at me. I ducked her punch, but got struck by her knee, which lifted me up and winded me. Before I knew it, I had been struck by five or six different moves. I was already disorientated, as Mother landed before me

"You are worse than your father"

"Don't worry, Mother, I will save you from the Devil, even it I must call upon my own evil powers, I swear I will save you"

I began to transform. Wings grew, horns sprouted, tattoos appeared, chain materialized and I felt my powers increase. The white flames on my pants turned to black, as black shin guards and spiked gauntlets appeared for the first time. I spread my wings and summoned my power. Mother was unfazed. She flew at me, but I was able to counter her strike with one of my own, kicking her in the chin and dropping her instantly. I kicked at her fallen body, but she appeared before me suddenly and kicked me back. She flew at me and swung her fist, but I ducked and stepped back, before moving in to attack. Mother blocked my punches and disappeared. I spun around, as an orb of energy slammed into my chest and threw me back. I flipped onto my feet, as Mother flew at me. I spread my wings and flew over her, before turning around and firing a laser at her, which slammed into her back and slammed her face-first into the ground. I dropped out of the air, feeling woozy, as Mother got up

"Stop doing this," I said, "Please, Mother"

"Stop calling me Mother," she growled

But the spirit was fading in and out, as if it was fighting for control over her mind. The wolf won and Mother threw another orb of energy. I dodged it, as she lifted me up with telekinesis and slammed me into the ground. I flipped onto my feet, as Mother fell upon me and slammed me back into the ground. I rolled away from her and kicked at her head, but she dodged me and punched me in the stomach. I stepped back and swung my fist. She blocked, but I jumped and brought my leg down, bouncing her into the ground. As Mother went to get up, I bent down and began to spin towards her, my lightning ki surrounding my body. Mother got up and stepped back, but I lunged towards her, throwing her through the air with an uppercut. As she sailed through the air, I fired a laser, which struck her and knocked her higher. I flew after her and slammed her into the ground, before charging energy into my right fist. Mother got up and shook her head, as I punched her and blasted her back

"Please, Mother, stop this madness"

Mother was on her knees, the wolf fading in and out. She was fighting for control again, trying to remember her past. I turned back to normal and knelt in front of her

"Come on, Mother, remember who you are. You are Jun Kazama. You have three children. Come on!"

She looked up at me, her eyes blazing gold. The wolf was fading in and out faster

"I…am…who?"

"Jun Kazama"

"Jun…Kazama…now I remember?"

"Just keep remembering. Fight against the Devil. Fight for control. Come on, I know you can do it"

"I…am…NO!"

The wolf fully materialized. I was blasted back, as Mother spread her wings and took off into the sky, leaving behind a trail of black feathers. But amongst those feathers, I spied a glowing, white feather. I felt some relief. Mother knew who she was; she just had to fight against the Devil controlling her mind

I turned to Heihachi

"You can have the Zaibatsu. I have more important things to worry about"

I got off the arena and joined Father, Asuka and Julia

"Come on, let's go," I said, "We've got some work to do"
