KAZUYA

After Raiden had helped us fight off the Tarkatans, we began our search for everyone else. We headed back to the campfire and saw it had been extinguished

"Do we wait here for everyone to come back?" asked Asuka

I shrugged

"Who knows?"

Suddenly, Raiden went into a stance, alerted to a danger I didn't hear coming at all

"Is something out there?" asked Jade

She had picked up her spear and was ready. Heihachi, King and myself were standing to attention as well, waiting for the creature to show itself. Asuka stood next to me, ready as well

"Sub Zero!" cried Jade

A figure came out of the darkness and joined us. He was a tall man and wore black and blue armour. His white eyes looked out at us from under his helmet. He shook hands with Raiden and Jade, before looking at us

"We were getting worried about you," said Jade

"I came here as fast as I could, but I was delayed"

"Yeah, we know," I said

"I have found Kenshi," said Sub Zero

"Is he alive?" asked Raiden

"He was when I left him. I hope he's still alive now"

"We need to find the others," I said, "So, Sub Zero, you can look after this Kenshi fellow, while we go searching"

Sub Zero inclined his head

"I will do that and once he is well, we shall come and help you"

"The more we have, the better," said Raiden, "And Kenshi's telekinesis will be very handy in this battle to come"

Sub Zero left us, as we headed in another direction. After about an hour of searching, we left the Forest and stood waiting

"So, what do we do now?" I asked

"We could go back in and search again," said Jade

"But Onaga is more important," snapped Raiden

"Excuse me, my son is probably still in there," I said, "As well as his girlfriend. I'm not leaving without them"

"Do you want to destroy Onaga?"

"He's not my problem. I don't even know what I'm doing here in the first place," I said, before glaring at Heihachi, "Why did you bring me here?"

"Why should I tell you?"

I rolled my eyes and turned to Asuka

"Do you want to come and help me find Jin?" I asked

"Yeah, I'll come"

We turned to leave, but Raiden stopped us

"You're not going back in there. We need to stop Onaga now!"

"You can't tell me what to do, Thunder God," I snarled, "Now move out of my way!"

"I won't let you"

"Then I'll make you!"

I swung my fist, but Raiden blocked me and punched me back. I got to my feet, but a lightning bolt threw me back. I got up and got thrown forward with a flying kick. I gritted my feet and faced Raiden. Lightning was running all over his body

"You think you're so smart!" I said

Horns erupted from my head, as wings burst out of my back. I transformed into Devil and hissed, as Raiden got into a stance

"Come on, Thunder God!" I said

He swung his fist. I blocked him and punched, but he stepped back and blocked. I lunged and kicked at his head, before spinning on one foot and tripping him up, finishing with a rising kick that threw him back. Raiden got up and threw two bolts of lightning, but I leapt over them, before shooting a laser. I missed, as Raiden flew at me. I dodged him and flew over to Asuka, before grabbing her around the waist and flying off into the sky. We flew over the Living Forest, as I dived down and landed, before turning back to normal. I let go of Asuka, who gave me a look

"Why did you have to fight him?" she asked

"He wouldn't get out my way. I'm not fighting Onaga without Jin next to me"

"Raiden is an ally. You don't attack allies!"

"Unless they're being stubborn sons of bitches"

Asuka let out an annoyed growl. I rolled my eyes

"Come on"

We began our search for Jin and Julia, hoping we wouldn't find them as shredded remains. Although I knew Jin was an excellent fighter and he had the Devil Gene, I couldn't shake off the feeling he might be already dead. And if he was, then I won't rest until every single Tarkatan and Onaga is dead

SCORPION

I left Jin and Julia to rest while I returned to the Living Forest to search for their friends. Once I reached my battle sight, I discovered that Baraka and Drahmin were gone. They will soon meet their end, especially Drahmin and Moloch from stopping me to get my revenge on Quan Chi! But Quan Chi was dead, killed by Raiden's explosion and now, I have only Drahmin and Moloch to vent my rage upon!

I headed deeper into the Forest, searching for signs of battle. I found one that had happened near a recently used campfire. Blood had been splattered everywhere, on the ground, on the trees and on the leaves. Also, there were large bloody chunks of flesh, along with several scraps of cloth. On closer inspection, I discovered that the dismembered corpse was Tanya, traitor to Edenia. One down, heaps more to go

I left the scene and continued my search. Another battle site. Here, several bodies of Tarkatan warriors were spread out, many of them with deep sword wounds, while others had broken bodies, having been hit with a powerful force. The fighters had moved on, heading towards Lin Chein, a city that had been taken over by the Seido Guardsmen from Orderrealm recently. I decided to chase after this group, when a sound made me stop. I drew my Mugai Ryu and leapt into a nearby tree. Two people walked beneath me. I saw it was a man and a young woman. The man was wearing a black tuxedo and had a sword strapped to his back, while the woman wore a blue shirt and overalls, gauntlets and boots. Her sword was strapped to her waist. I was about to attack when I realized the man looked familiar to Jin. He had said he looked like his father. I sheathed my sword and dropped down, as the man spun around, drawing his sword. I blocked the blow with my gauntlet and held up a hand

"Who are you?" I asked

"Who the fuck are you?" asked the man, "To drop on us like that?"

"I am Scorpion. I know where your son is"

The man relaxed his sword, but only slightly. It didn't faze me at all

"How do I know to trust you?"

"Jin looks like you and he was travelling with a girl who looked like she was from Nightwolf's clan. I know where they are"

"I don't care who Nightwolf is, but lead the way"

I sighed and began the journey back to the house

"By the way, I'm Kazuya and this is my daughter, Asuka"

"Great, that's interesting"

We reached the house, but shock ran through me. The entire house had been destroyed. We all drew our weapons and ran inside. I kicked splintered chairs aside, but found nothing, except for a splatter of blood on the bottom corner. I went into the bedroom where I had left the pair and saw blood all over the walls, along with a few Tarkatan warriors, but no sign of Jin and Julia

"Someone knew they were here," said Kazuya, "And sent these bastards"

"But where could Jin and Julia have gone?" asked Asuka

"I have no idea, but we can track them down," I said, "Their bodies aren't here, which means they're still alive"
