KAZUYA

Yoshimitsu and I followed Asuka's feather trail to the mountains. I had feared this ever since she moved in with me. Jin had control, Ashe had lost control and now Asuka had transformed. Her transformation was earlier than I expected, since she had nearly died just ten minutes ago. Her mind would be still fragile from the attempted siphoning by Ashe three months ago. I hoped she was still fighting and hasn't given in

Yoshimitsu made to the top of the mountain before I did, using his sword as a propeller. I didn't want to transform, in case my Devil Gene influences Asuka's and helps her to lose her mind to the Devil

I reached the top about fifteen minutes after Yoshimitsu had flown up and saw him engaged in battle with Asuka, who had the upper hand. I ran over and tackled Asuka just before she could deal him the final blow. She screamed and struggled to break free, but I held tight. Her struggling was getting stronger, as the influence grew. I struggled against my own Devil Gene, which was seeking to rise up and take over me, before taking her Gene

Just before it came too much for me, Yoshimitsu lunged over and rested his blade on her forehead, before chanting some mumbo-jumbo. Her struggling began to slow down, as Yoshimitsu continued his spell. Slowly, the wings shrivelled up and melted away, her horns shrunk back into her skull, as the markings faded away. Yoshimitsu stepped back, as Asuka was reverted back to normal. I sighed in relief, as Asuka panted heavily. I got up and checked her. She had fallen asleep from exhaustion. I turned to Yoshimitsu

"Thank you"

He bowed

"You're welcome"

Something dove from the sky and landed before us, before splitting into two people

"Jin!"
Jin and Julia stepped out of the darkness, as Jin turned back to normal. He looked down at his sister

"What happened?"

"She was impaled and transformed," I explained, "She went nuts. We only just turned her back to normal"

Jin nodded

"We have to take out Onaga," he said, "We got attacked by four of his men. If we don't stop him, then it's only a matter of time before someone is killed. Asuka came close tonight. She survived because of the Devil Gene, but not everyone has the Gene"

I nodded. I understood what he meant. I knelt down and picked up Asuka gently, as her arms went around my neck

"Where can we go?" I asked

"What about Edenia?" suggested Yoshimitsu

"Well, we found a portal to the Chaos Realm, but they're a bunch of nuts in there," said Julia, "We need to find another portal"

"Why don't we go to the realm of Chaos?" I said, "Onaga wouldn't look for us there and we can hide there until Asuka recovers"

"Alright, this way," said Jin

We followed him back to the portal, before stepping through to the Chaos Realm. Once we arrived, Jin and Julia showed us the way out around with the use of portals. After a few hours of looking, we came across a house where I believed we wouldn't be found. Jin broke into the house, using the skills he had taught himself while on the run and we went inside. I laid Asuka down on the bed, before turning to Jin

"Look after her, okay. You're stronger than her; so if she transforms and tries to fly away, hold her down until Yoshimitsu can help her. I'm going to look around"

I left the house and went for a look. I climbed up the mountains behind the house and found a temple. Cautiously, I entered the temple. There were three glass structures with an image of a beetle on them. I looked around and was unimpressed with the place. I turned to leave, but a blonde-haired woman blocked my way. She was wearing a grey jacket over a grey shirt and black pants, while her blonde hair fell over her shoulders. I looked her up and down

"Who are you?" I asked

"I am Sonya Blade"

I thought back to what Raiden had told me about Sonya Blade. She had been killed by the Deadly Alliance, but was resurrected by Onaga and enslaved to do his bidding. She had been Raiden's ally for a long time

"So, you're an ally of Raiden? Or were, until you died"

"You're an enemy of the Dragon King. You will die!"

"Oh baby, I don't think so"

Sonya ran at me. I dodged her, but she spun around and landed a kick on my cheek. I glared at her and swung my fist. She ducked and kicked. I blocked and went for an elbow, but Sonya blocked me and tripped me up. I rolled away onto my feet, as Sonya did a flying kick. I jumped back, as she attacked. I blocked her strikes, looking for an opening, but she wasn't letting one appear. I blocked a kick and punched, but she ducked under my fist and slammed her fist into my stomach, before kicking me back. I sat up, as Sonya reached into her jacket and drew out a pair of fighting sticks. I got to my feet, cursing myself for leaving my sword behind

Sonya ran at me and lunged. I dodged her, as she turned and began pelting me with the sticks. I was getting backed up against the wall to block them, as she feinted and kicked me in the chest. I was forced through the wall and went flying through the air. I twisted my body and landed on my feet, as I heard Sonya land behind me. I spun and punched, but missed, as Sonya came up on my right. I elbowed her in the face and kicked her in the chest, slamming her against the wall. Sonya got up and swung her sticks, but I blocked her and threw her through the air. She landed with a heavy thud

I charged at her, as she got up and turned around. She swung her right stick, but I ducked, before lunging forward and kicking her against the wall. Sonya fell to the ground, knocked out cold. I sneered and turned my back, before leaving the temple
