Yakuza Wars Crossover Arc
Chapter 4: The Mishima Zaibatsu
Narrator: Akira emerged from the portal in an unknown facility, surrounded by soldiers with guns.
Akira: (Okay... I picked a real bad time to teleport from one world into another world with armed soldiers.)
Narrator: Suddenly, a hooded figure walked up to the soldiers, in which they saluted.
Akira: Whoever that person is... Those guys respect him.
?: Who are you? And why have you come here?
Narrator: Akira turned around to see a man in a tuxedo staring down at him.
Akira: My name is Akira Shirogane. I'm not from around here. May I ask who you are?
?: Kazuya Mishima. And you are trespassing. Leave or be killed.
Akira: Heh. You think you can kill me? You can very well try.
Kazuya: Very well then.
Narrator: Kazuya rushed up to Akira and attempted to kick Akira at the side of his face.
Akira: …..
Narrator: Akira closes his eyes and blocks the kick with little to no effort.
Kazuya: What? But you are just a child.
Akira: Hmpf. Underestimating me was your last mistake.
Narrator: Akira punches Kazuya in the stomach, causing him to double over in pain.
Kazuya: Nnngh...
Akira: Come on, get up! You wanted to kill me, right?
Narrator: Kazuya got up and a violent purple aura surrounded him.
Kazuya: I'll make this quick...
Narrator: Demon wings appeared behind Kazuya. His skin turned a pale black and the violent purple aura grew.
Akira: Heh... So, is this your true form or something?
Narrator: Kazuya kicked Akira in the stomach with blinding speed, causing him to be knocked back, slamming right in front of the armed soldiers and the hooded figure.
Akira: Damn, that really hurt, you bastard!
Narrator: The armed soldiers pointed their guns at Akira, ready to fire. Kazuya jumped down and walked slowly knocking away the soldiers as he walked.
Akira: (If I don't do something quick, I'm really going to die here.)
Narrator: Just as Kazuya was about to strike, the hooded figure jumped in front of Akira and kicked Kazuya away.
?: Your fight isn't with him, Kazuya. It's with me!
Narrator: The hooded figure pulled down his hood and charged at Kazuya with a flurry of punches, in which Kazuya blocked with little effort.
Akira: Dude, get out of there! He'll kill you and-
?: Stay out of this!
Akira: Like hell I will!
?: …..
Narrator: The same purple aura surrounded the tall man as wings appeared from his back. Black feathers fell in front of Akira.
Akira: Who are you?
Narrator: The tall man turned around and faced Akira.
Jin: My name is Jin Kazama. And that man that attacked you... is my father.
Akira: ….!
Narrator: Akira gets up and begins to emanate a dark aura around him... with his skin turning black.
Akira: You can't take him on alone. I'm helping you and if you don't like it... I can knock you out and take him on myself.
Jin: …. Fine. Just don't get in my way.
Akira: Don't worry. He can't take us on by himself.
Kazuya: This is rather interesting... Jin... asking for help... How low must you sink?
Jin: Shut up!
Narrator: Jin ran up to Kazuya and kicked him in the face. Kazuya stood there, unfazed by the kick.
Akira: JIN! Get out of there!
Narrator: Akira ran up to Kazuya and punched him square in the face with Kazuya standing there undetered.
Akira: The hell?
Jin: Has the Devil Gene in him gotten stronger?
Akira: Devil... what?
Narrator: Kazuya grabbed Akira and Jin and slammed their heads in the stone wall.
Akira: AAAAAH!
Jin: ARGH!
Kazuya: You have gotten weak, boy. I expected more from you.
Akira: Don't count us out just yet!
Narrator: Akira began to spark with electricity and blasted Kazuya back with tremendous force. Jin fell on the floor, coughing for air.
Akira: Jin! Are you okay?
Jin: I'm fine. Something like that won't deter him so easily. Be ready for anything. Also... who and what are you?
Akira: My name is Akira Shirogane and I'm not from this world.
Jin: That makes sense. Those abilities that you possess... no ordinary human would be able to use them.
Akira: I guess... I've faced worse than your father.
Jin: I believe you... Here he comes!
Narrator: Kazuya erupted from the rubble.
Kazuya: It would seem I shouldn't underestimate the two of you.
Akira: Damn right!
Jin: Prepare to meet your end, bastard!
Kazuya: As much as I would like to kill the both of you... I have other things to attend to.
Narrator: Kazuya kicked a nearby window and jumped out of it, flying away. Akira and Jin reverted to normal.
Akira: Some father you have there. Does he always do that?
Jin: Yeah. Such a pain. Anyway, how did you get in here?
Akira: I was teleported here by some unknown force. I don't know how it works or when it does... It just does.
Jin: I believe you. From I've experienced... things are always weird. Also... thanks for helping me out earlier.
Akira: No problem... It's against my nature to help others.
Jin: You have injuries.
Akira: Don't worry... They will heal up in no time. I won't be defeated so easily.
Jin: You're one interesting individual. You can rest up in the rooms on the upper floor.
Akira: Thanks... After I rest up... I have a few questions for you, Jin.
Jin: …. Okay.
Akira: But I do have one question though... What is the Devil Gene?
Jin: I don't fully understand it fully... But from my understanding of it... The Devil Gene is some mysterious gene that when it goes in the body... It... changes you... for the worst, not for the better.
Akira: Is there a way to remove the Devil Gene?
Jin: Remove? None to my knowledge. But suppressing it... only one person was able to suppress it. And that person... is gone.
Akira: Who was that person?
Narrator: Jin stared down at the floor with a solemn look in his face.
Jin: My mother, Jun Kazama. She... went missing. I don't know where she is.
Akira: Jin... I'm sure she'll come back. Have faith in your mother.
Jin: Yeah. Perhaps you're right
Akira: You shouldn't let those negative thoughts corrupt you. Trust me... you are better off.
Jin: Perhaps. But Kazuya needs to pay for what he's done. It's the only way I can move on.
Akira: I understand. I'll help you any way I can.
Jin: Yeah. Thanks.
Narrator: At that moment, more soldiers ran in the room.
Jin: What now?
Soldier: Sir... Heihachi is downstairs. He wishes to speak with you.
Jin: Akira... come with me please.
Akira: Alright. My wounds are healed up anyway.
Narrator: Jin and Akira go down to the front of the building where a tall man was waiting for them.
Heihachi: Well, well... I heard your father came here.
Jin: What the hell do you want?
Heihachi: You know what I want Jin... We've been at this for a while now. I want the secret to the Devil Gene so I can use it on myself and become even more powerful than I am now!
Akira: You really are a fool...
Narrator: Heihachi stared at Akira with a puzzled look.
Heihachi: And why is that I am a fool?
Akira: You cannot comprehend the power the Devil Gene possesses. Something this raw and powerful could potentially kill it's host.
Heihachi: That is of no consequence to me. If I can obtain that power nothing else matters and-
Narrator: Akira punches a nearby wall, causing debris to fall. Akira's eyes turned a violent red.
Akira: Don't piss me off, old man! I will kill you!
Heihachi: ….
Akira: Don't test me...
Jin: Akira, calm down. He's not worth it.
Heihachi: It would be in your best interest to keep your friend under control, Jin.
Akira: ALRIGHT! THAT'S IT!
Narrator: Akira punched Heihachi square in the jaw, causing him to slam into the wall.
Jin: AKIRA!
Akira: ….
Narrator: Akira picks up Heihachi out of the rubble and tossed him to a nearby window.
Akira: ….. That ought to shut him up for a while.
Narrator: Akira walked out the building, then turned back to Jin and sighed.
Akira: I'll be moving on. See you... Jin Kazama.
Jin: Yeah. Sorry about that.
Akira: It's okay.
Narrator: Akira ran into the city. Suddenly he heard a loud scream in the distance.
Akira: (The hell was that? Got to go see what's going on.)
Narrator: Akira ran to the source of the scream. A girl with pigtails was huddled on the ground protected what appeared to be a panda from a large robot approaching them.
Akira: Hey, metalhead!
Narrator: The robot turned around facing Akira.
Akira: Pick on someone your own size!
?: What are you doing? He'll pummel you!
Narrator: As the robot charged at Akira, he began to grin. With blinding speed and power, Akira made short work of the robot. Bits of metal and circuitry flew all over the place.
Akira: Are you okay?
?: Yeah. Panda and I are okay.
Narrator: Akira helped the girl with pigtails up to her feet.
Akira: What was that thing?
?: I have no idea. I was minding my own business walking with Panda here, and the next thing I know... I get attacked by some giant robot. Panda tried to take it on, but it was too powerful for her to handle. Next thing I know, you show up and scrapped that robot.
Akira: I mean you did scream. By the way, what is your name? I'm Akira Shirogane by the way.
Xiaoyu: My name is Ling Xiaoyu. Panda here is my friend.
Akira: I see. Pleased to meet the two of you.
Narrator: Akira approaches Panda and puts his hand on her head. A calm aura emanated from Akira's hand, healing Panda's wounds.
Xiaoyu: Panda... are you okay?
Narrator: Panda jumps up and nuzzles Xiaoyu happily.
Akira: Heh. I'd take that as a yes.
Xiaoyu: Thanks, Akira! You really saved us back there!
Akira: Don't mention it. Helping people is kind of my thing. My father taught me to be a defender of humanity.
Xiaoyu: What do you mean by that?
Narrator: Akira began to explain to Xiaoyu about who he was and that he was from another world.
Akira: -and that's about it. Don't tell anyone what I just told you, ok?
Xiaoyu: I promise.
Narrator: Akira folded his arms.
Akira: We should probably get out of here before something else happens.
Xiaoyu: Good idea. Let's get something to eat, my treat.
Akira: Thank you. I was feeling a bit...hungry.
Xiaoyu: I know a place nearby that I know you'll love. Follow me.
Narrator: Akira followed Xiaoyu and Panda in a nicely designed restaurant.
Akira: This is a nice place.
Xiaoyu: I'm glad you like it. I go here all the time after school, but since school's out until January... I have a lot of free time on my hands.
Akira: Cool. It's nice to relax from time to time.
Narrator: Akira, Xiaoyu and Panda sit down in a nearby booth. A waiter approached them.
Waiter: Good evening. May I take your orders?
Narrator: Akira picked up the menu.
Akira: I think I'll have a ramen bowl with pork cutlets and French Fries on the side.
Xiaoyu: I think I'll have the same thing and fresh bamboo shoots for Panda here.
Narrator: Panda raised its paws in air in a happy fashion.
Waiter: Of course. Your orders will be ready in a hour.
Akira: Okay. So Xiaoyu, I'm guessing you can fight as well, correct?
Xiaoyu: Of course. I was taught by Wang Jinrei. He taught me everything I know.
Akira: He sounds like a cool master.
Xiaoyu: Yeah. He can be strict sometimes but he's very wise and very strong.
Akira: I would love to meet him.
Xiaoyu: After this we can go see him.
Akira: Okay then.
Narrator: A hour passed, and the waiter came with their orders, in which they started eating.
Akira: So... do you know Jin?
Xiaoyu: Yes, I do. I fought him in the Iron Fist Tournament. However, something was off about him... He had these things on his body, and he had wings. I think it may be-
Akira: The Devil Gene.
Narrator: Xiaoyu stared at Akira with a worried look on her face.
Xiaoyu: How do you know about that?
Akira: I've met Jin Kazama and he filled me in on what the Devil Gene is. Plus, I saw Kazuya and he has the same power as well.
Xiaoyu: I see. Well, if Jin is okay... I don't have to worry too much. But... Jin hates Kazuya and vice-versa.
Akira: I never knew they had such a dark history.
Xiaoyu: And every year it gets worse.
Akira: You care deeply for Jin, don't you?
Xiaoyu: Yeah. I hate that he carries all that guilt inside him.
Akira: Sometimes it's best to let people figure things out. When I was talking to him, I sensed... anger, sadness and a bit of guilt. He has a lot on his mind. He must let that guilt go. Otherwise... it's going to destroy him until there is nothing left but an empty husk of his former self.
Xiaoyu: I agree.
Akira: I'm sure that if Jin needs us... He'll come for us for help. But for now, let Jin figure things out for himself.
Xiaoyu: I guess you're right.
Narrator: At that moment... a loud crash can be heard outside of the restaurant.
Xiaoyu: What was that?
Akira: I'll go check. Stay here.
Narrator: Akira ran outside only to find cars in flames, people screaming in terror. Akira followed the path of destruction to an abandoned warehouse.
Akira: Who's in here?
?: Grraaah!
Akira: !?
Narrator: Standing before Akira was Jin Kazama. However, his appearance was very much different than before. Horns were sticking out from his forehead, his body covered with scale-like plating, and the large black angel wings.
Akira: Jin? What happened to you?
Jin: …..
Akira: Jin! Answer me.
Narrator: Jin punched Akira square in the stomach.
Akira: Gggh...
Narrator: Akira coughed up blood. Xiaoyu ran up to Akira.
Xiaoyu: Akira, are you okay?
Akira: Yeah. I'll be fine. But I'm more concerned about Jin. He's out of control. Stay back, Xiaoyu. I'll handle this.
Xiaoyu: Okay.
Narrator: Jin charged at Akira with blinding rage. Akira held him back with one hand.
Akira: Jin! Snap out of it! Remember who you are! Think about your mother!
Narrator: Jin stopped and stared at the ground. Tears fell from his eyes.
Jin: I hate him... so much... Kazuya will pay for what he's done.
Akira: Don't worry. Justice will prevail.
Narrator: Jin stood up and stared at Akira and nodded.
Xiaoyu: Jin! Are you okay?
Jin: Yes. I'm fine. Isn't Alisa with you?
Xiaoyu: No. She said she had some things to take care of.
Akira: Let's go back. Kazuya is probably there waiting for us. We will finish this.
Narrator: Akira, Jin, Xiaoyu and Panda ran back to the large building that had fire blazing at the top floor.
Jin: There. That's where Kazuya is.
Xiaoyu: How are we going to get up there?
Narrator: Jin grabbed Xiaoyu and Panda and flew to the top floor with Akira running behind them at breakneck speed. When they got to the top of the tower, Kazuya was standing with another person there.
Akira: Who's that?
Jin: Guess we'll find out.
Narrator: Kazuya stared at Jin and Akira and folded his arms.
Kazuya: So... you learned to control the Devil Gene, Jin? About time you did.
Jin: Kazuya... You will pay for everything that you've done! You will die tonight!
Akira: I wouldn't mind pounding your face into the ground, Kazuya!
Kazuya: You two are welcome to try.
Narrator: With blinding speed, Akira approached Kazuya and grabbed his head and slammed him into the ground.
Jin: W-What speed and power! Just what is he?
Narrator: Akira threw Kazuya into a wall, crushing some bones in his body.
Kazuya: So, you do have some strength after all.
Akira: Just keep talking... I may be the one that takes your life save Jin the trouble of the bloodshed.
Narrator: Kazuya kicked Akira back. A dark aura emits from Kazuya's body.
Kazuya: Jin is not the only one who has the Devil Gene powers!
Narrator: Suddenly the sky grew dark and an unknown entity appeared in the sky.
Akira: The hell is that?
Narrator: The unknown entity began charging up energy, then firing beams of light on the citizens below.
Akira: Jin! Take Xiaoyu and get her out of here!
Jin: She's not here.
Akira: What!? But how can- That other guy isn't here either. He must have taken her! Damn it!
Narrator: Kazuya turned around and a beam of light enveloped him, disintegrating him where he once stood.
Akira: Jin! We got to get away from here!
Narrator: Akira and Jin jumped off from the tower dodging the light beams as they descended downwards. Akira's body began to glow brightly.
Akira: Jin, grab my hand! We are getting out of here!
Narrator: Jin grabbed Akira's hand and they both vanished instantly. Meanwhile, in a helicopter in the distance, Xiaoyu was tied up by the unknown person.
Xiaoyu: Who are you? And why are you doing this?
Claudio: My name is Claudio Serafino. And as for my reason for doing this, I have no reason to tell you-
Narrator: At that moment, a beam of light slammed into the helicopter disintegrating it. In a matter of minutes, the whole city was wiped clean off the map.
