Hello guys, I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and New Year (I know it's February now but shh I started this in late December k)! Here is the second LightJakRises suggestion where Hayabusa enlists Jann Lee to fight a fiend and they become close friends (aka basically platonic Busa x Jann Lee) ^_^
(writer's mistake, back when I was writing DOATEC'S New Leader I thought Naotora was resurrected back from the dead, but it was time travel. 10/10 wiki reading skillz)
Also please note I've never played a Ninja Gaiden game before so if I get anything wrong about Ninja Gaiden n fiends n stuff, don't be surprised. Tried to find my Ninja Gaiden 3 case to start playing it again but it is nowhere to be found. So, if there are any Ninja Gaiden games that you recommend to me, say so in the reviews.
New MIST Lab: Set after the events of DOA5
Victor Donovan was sitting at his desk in his wonderful new office. It was a lot brighter and less dim and doom. It really helped him think more. The bright red walls, the bright green floor, orange desk, pink chair… sure it didn't go well, but did he care what others thought? Hell no. He was Victor Donovan and he could do what he wanted. First, he had the clones. Then, he managed to kidnap Naotora Ii through time travel, but now one of his scientists had invented something new called...Fiend Poison.
Fiend Poison was something invented by a scientist of his, and Donovan wanted to test it out. First, on a clone. A Leifang clone, called Alpha-210. She looked almost identical to Leifang, except for the fake orange tan and bottle-blonde hair. Her voice was only slightly higher-pitched than Leifang's and it, strangely enough, had a fairly different voice, which was uncommon with many clones.
"You want me to drink this, boss?" Alpha-210 asked in her strangely deep and heavy-accented voice.
"Well, I guess so," Donovan shrugged, adjusting his mask.
"You seem so different when you're not on the big screen," she said, gulping the potion, "Oh…oh God…" She cried out in pain, red mist escaping her body, and she turned to ash. No other scientists even noticed, many clones went through much worse on a daily basis.
"It seems to react poorly with the red mist, Donovan," the scientist said.
"We should try and test it on the real Leifang," Donovan was grinning under that mask.
"How would that be possible?" the scientist asked.
"Well, we've sent an agent to spy on our fighters, or at least, most of them," Donovan said, "Hitomi and Leifang recently had a falling out… it seems that Leifang needs a new best friend…right, Naotora?" He handed Naotora a tracking device that would lead to Leifang's whereabouts.
"Yes…D-Donovan," Naotora sighed and ran out of the MIST lab.
…
One day later…
Hayabusa had arrived in New York City. It wasn't too late at night, maybe nine or ten, so there was plenty of people out. He was standing on a rooftop, looking down at all the people, happy and enjoying themselves, unaware of the danger that was to appear.
The streets looked wonderful in New York on Christmas Eve. All the lights amazed him, different colours flashing everywhere. Although Hayabusa was never huge on Christmas, he definitely wanted to buy at least one thing from the market as a souvenir, but of course, not right now.
Two people had suddenly…teleported onto the roof he was on? He turned around, taking out his sword.
"I know the both of you," he said, "you're Jann Lee, and this is…Rig, that you're with."
"Got a problem with that?" Jann Lee clenched his fists.
"What was with that reply?" Hayabusa asked.
"It's the first part of our date, where I use a special potion to teleport to the top of a building and view New York from here…stunning, isn't it?" Rig grinned.
"It's not a date, I just wanted to fight him and he took out some stupid glowing potion mid-match," Jann Lee said, "and why won't you tell me how you did that? What the hell was in that potion?!"
"Jann Lee," Hayabusa said, "stay away from Rig. He's dangerous."
"I could tell, Hayabusa," Jann Lee said, "I mean- with the power to teleport like that"-
"Well, Jann, we gotta go," Rig said, grabbed Jann Lee's hand and threw a potion onto the ground.
"Hey!" Hayabusa shouted. He then heard the ground shaking. He managed to leap down from the building and enter the markets, people too scared and running to even notice a ninja running towards the Christmas market and not away from it. He saw someone he knew who wasn't running at all or panicking, but falling asleep at one of the bars.
"Leifang! Why aren't you running?" he touched the possibly unconscious girl's shoulder, but a light shone into his eyes and blinded him for a couple of seconds, the ground rumbling even harder.
When his eyesight returned to normal, it wasn't Leifang standing there, but a massive 50ft tall ogre fiend!
"Heh," Hayabusa took out his sword, "I've fought many of you guys before, so a slightly bigger one won't be much of a challenge."
"I don't want to fight you," it said, a more demonic, lower replica of Leifang's voice, "piss off."
"…What?" Hayabusa tilted his head, "no, no, listen here"-
"I want to fight Jann Lee," she said, "let me fight him, please…"
"Not unless I get an explanation," he pointed his sword at the ogre's stomach, "how did you manage to disguise yourself as Leifang?"
The fiend yelled nonsense at Hayabusa. It seems it had lost its ability to talk already.
"I see," Hayabusa looked up at the ogre's horrifying face, "this will be quick."
"Stop!" someone yelled. The voice sounded very familiar, "it's the real Leifang, and I know it is!"
Hayabusa turned around to see the familiar face wearing a lab coat, a blue shirt and black trousers. "You're Naotora Ii, I swear I've met you before. How the hell are you here?"
"Well, uh- this guy called Victor Dono"-
"Stop right there," Hayabusa said, "you are working with MIST?"
"Um…sorry…" Naotora murmured.
Hayabusa sighed, "have you seen the things they've done?"
"I've seen it all," Naotora whispered, "all this technology…it really baffled me and even shook me up a little…I even saw you a few times, but it wasn't you"- Naotora started to panic. Her breaths started to shorten, "Hayabusa, watch out!"
Hayabusa managed to dodge the fiend's arm with no issue. He hit the arm with his sword. "Don't worry, I've got it.
"YAAAAAAAH!" The fiend yelled, holding its bleeding wound.
"Yep, that's Leifang," Hayabusa said, "how the hell did this happen? Is MIST turning fighters into fiends? You need to tell me, Naotora, and you shouldn't be working with MIST!"
"Well…Donovan was the one that showed me all the…all the technological advances…even if the downside was watching people die…I saw you get gruesomely killed many times…"
"Those would've been clones," Hayabusa said, turning towards the ogre fiend, "and… Leifang. If you don't want to die, I recommend you don't even try touching me."
"Okay, okay, I would tell you," Naotora said, "but…Donovan will…he's going to do do something bad, he could kill me or worse!"
"No, he won't…" Hayabusa slowly walked up to Naotora, "I will protect you, understand?"
"W-whoa!" Naotora stood back, "uh- I'm not looking for uh…any relationship right now!"
"Neither am I," Hayabusa said.
"Then why did you…you know…walk up to me so close"-
"Enough of this nonsense," Hayabusa pointed his sword at Naotora, "tell me how to reverse this- or I'll kill the fiend!"
The fiend roared, big- no, massive tears dropping from its eyes. The place was flooding, the water was at knee-height, and Hayabusa had to act fast.
"Look, look!" Naotora said, "I still have the bottle! It must be somewhere!"
"Where were you sitting with Leifang?" Hayabusa asked, "Leifang, stop crying; we're going to turn you back to normal! Wipe those tears before you flood us, and if we were to drown, you'd stay like an ogre fiend forever!"
The ogre fiend stopped crying. Thank god, Hayabusa thought, imagine dying like that, drowning in salty ogre tears.
Naotora headed to one of the many picnic tables.
"I swear, the bottle was right here!" She looked everywhere.
"Time is of the essence, Naotora," Hayabusa said.
"Look, okay, I've found it!" Naotora shouted, "s-sorry for shouting. A-and sorry for taking forever finding the bottle!"
"It's fine," Hayabusa wanted to let out the biggest groan ever, but he kept it in for the sake of politeness.
The bottle read:
"Complete the fighter's biggest wish, and they will return back to normal – Signed, Victor Donovan.
PS: Naotora, if you're reading this, you're an absolute cretin. I'm sending you back to the Samurai times when I next see you…and just stop saying 'sorry' or I'll clone you. Thx bbg.
Only use this method if the PLAN isn't working. Any other reasons; we will know, and we will hunt you down.(unless you're Naotora, then we'll just send you back to the past) "
"What is Leifang's biggest wish?" Hayabusa asked, "do you know? Because I don't."
"Me neither," Naotora said, "d-does that mean you're going to kill her?!"
"I might have to," he sighed, "or maybe that's what MIST wanted me to do all along…there's got to be another way"-
"WAIT!" Jann Lee ran through the rubble of fallen attractions, the occasional unlucky body and trash everywhere, "Hayabusa! I know it! I know!"
"THERE HE IS!" the fiend bellowed. It was sounding less and less like Leifang each time it talked. It swung a huge arm at Jann Lee, but Hayabusa managed to defend Jann Lee.
"Hayabusa, get out of the way!" Naotora said, "if Leifang ends up getting defeated, she'll stay as a fiend forever!"
"But she could end up killing Jann Lee!" Hayabusa yelled back.
"Look," Jann Lee suddenly grabbed Hayabusa's shoulders, "Leifang wants to defeat me. She wouldn't want to kill me due to the fact she obviously has feelings for me. The worst that could happen is me getting injured. I'll be okay."
"Oh," Hayabusa said, "should I just"-
"Just let her attack me! God damn it! We can't have this fiend standing around for any longer!" Jann Lee shouted, "I can stand this! If you can, then I can!"
"You don't understand!" Hayabusa shouted.
"No, you don't!" Jann Lee yelled, "this is just immature! Leifang, let's fight!"
"Gladly…" the fiend's voice deepened, its eyes glowed red and swung an arm at Jann Lee, "Jann Lee… I finally get to defeat you…finally…"
"How do I know you're not lying to me, Naotora?" Hayabusa asked, "how do I not know"-
"What else can you do?!" Naotora asked, "just let it happen!"
Hayabusa took out his sword but it was kicked out of his hand by Naotora. He was then kicked in the back by Naotora. She stood on his back with those bladed boots.
"Naotora!" Hayabusa yelled, trying to exclaim his words through the pain "stop…this…you…fool!"
"And I'm sorry for hurting you!" Naotora shouted, "but I know what to do here, and I trust that you'll save me from MIST after this! I'm not lying or anything, and I'm not letting a blinded crush cloud your mind and be your downfall! Oh no, I didn't mean 'crush'! Sorry!"
"Enough…of this…" Hayabusa managed to grab Naotora's leg and shove it off him, causing her to fall on her bum. But due to this distraction of Naotora trying to stop him; he's now realised the fight between Jann Lee and the fiend had started, and the fiend was already winning, in fact, Jann Lee was so bruised and bloodied that the fiend had technically 'won.' He had fallen into a now-demolished stall, struggling to get up.
"Jann Lee!" Hayabusa shouted, Naotora trying to restrain him from intervening, "if Naotora actually is telling us the truth, the fiend potion should be wearing off as Leifang's technically 'defeated' you in combat! Finish off the fiend and it should turn back into Leifang! But be careful to not go over-the-top! Do smaller hits as the fiend becomes weaker!"
"I know!" Jann Lee shouted, heavily breathing from his wounds, "I can do this!"
The fiend knocked out all the Christmas lights decorated around the market area, so that it was harder to see, but that wasn't going to stop Jann Lee at all. It did a ghoulish roar, probably signalling that there was no sign of Leifang's soul trapped inside that monster anymore…but that was going to change, and her soul was going to restore, and eventually, even her human body would restore, too.
He managed to hit a strong mid-kick on the fiend's leg, causing it to cry in pain. When the fiend crouched down in pain, he did a high kick on the stomach.
"You're weakening now that your 'biggest wish' has been accomplished," Jann Lee yelled, "this might hurt, Leifang, but you'll be back to normal in no time!"
Whilst Jann Lee was finishing the battle, Hayabusa noticed a bunch of tanks arriving at the scene…the military? Well, they took their sweet time, didn't they?
"Wow, look at those!" Naotora ran up to the tanks, "hello!"
She might distract them for a short time, Hayabusa thought, thank goodness.
"Hayabusa!" Jann Lee shouted, landing a final jump kick on the fiend's stomach, "she's getting weaker! Now what?!"
"I think that's it!" Hayabusa yelled, "if the potion is correct, the fiend should turn back into Leifang!"
"Naotora, you will pay for betraying us!" a voice shouted. It was Rig.
"You focus on the fiend, I'll get Rig," Hayabusa said, running to Rig, "you will not hurt Naotora nor Jann Lee!" He tackled Rig to the ground, "Rig, the plan failed, give up already! What was Donovan even trying to do here?"
"None of your goddamn business!" Rig yelled, "anyways, no matter what happens here, Naotora will be"-
"Don't even finish that!" Hayabusa shouted, "the military is here, you're done for! And MIST is done for!"
"The military's known us for some time, Busa…" Rig grinned, "our lab location is even harder to find than the last one…my dad is calling them right now…telling them to retreat or our spies will hunt down their friends and families…we have their information, all of them."
"Stop that!"
"The two men in the tank, they both have parents, siblings, wives and children, that tank is retreating now after just receiving that message – after all, we wouldn't want anything to happen to them- OUCH!"
"You are not getting away with this," Hayabusa noticed Rig took something out of his pocket…it was…shaped like a grenade. Hayabusa quickly moved back from Rig, noticing all the tanks were retreating.
"Just a special MIST smoke bomb, you wimp!" Rig shouted and threw it on the ground, disappearing.
He's gone fully insane at this point, Hayabusa thought, finally showing his true colours in full… I wonder what happened to him after the old MIST lab fell?
Hayabusa turned around to see the ogre fiend slowly shrink down to human size. It seems Jann Lee was able to technically complete Leifang's wish, Hayabusa thought, so Naotora was right after all…
"Hayabusa!" Naotora yelled, "all the weird vehicles drove away! W-were they scared of my manly hands?" She yelled at the tanks, "SORRY FOR BEING SO UGLY!"
Lower self-confidence than some of our youth today, Hayabusa thought, "I'll call an ambulance for Jann Lee! Naotora, you help Leifang! There should be a tablecloth on one of the picnic tables to help cover her up when she turns back to normal!"
"Alright!" Naotora ran up to the back-to-normal Leifang in the wrecked area, "Leifang, I'm so sorry!"
"Can Jann Lee see me like this?" Leifang covered up, "oh god, this is the worst day of my life!"
"It's alright," Jann Lee whispered, "I can't really see anything at the moment. My vision kind of blurry…" He started to cough heavily, "I'll look away, anyways…"
"I don't remember hitting you at all!" Leifang shouted as Naotora wrapped the large red-and-white tablecloth around Leifang.
What a day, Hayabusa thought, standing from a distance, maybe I can salvage something from here as a souvenir.
…
After the events on Christmas Eve, the hosts of the Christmas Eve pulled another Festival on Christmas Day after what happened. Luckily, nobody connected the fiend with Leifang, as there was no evidence that she had 'turned' into a fiend (and it wasn't very believable to anyone, except for maybe a few conspiracy theorists). However, Hayabusa, Jann Lee, Leifang and Naotora (who was nowhere to be found, Hayabusa assumed that she was hopefully safe, and wished there was a way to contact her, but what were the chances of someone from the Samurai times understanding how to use a phone?) were due to all be questioned by the police on Boxing Day about what they saw.
For now, Hayabusa put on jeans, a white shirt and a black leather jacket and headed to New York in the afternoon. He wanted to head to the new Festival…that was not as busy for many obvious reasons which included family, friends and…well, a fiend. It was busy, just nowhere near as busy as the Christmas Eve Festival for many reasons…
He was shocked at how quickly everything had mended, it was as if the ogre fiend incident was all just a dream… but yeah, we're not doing that cliché today, folks. He took a deep breath and walked to a stall that was selling ornaments. They were all very…cute. Little teddy-bears in Santa hats, kittens holding presents, puppies holding candy canes. But what he noticed were the sweets. He wasn't sure if Jann Lee had any allergies, so he got some chocolates, macaroons and jelly sweets. He also stuffed in a few leftover(but quite stale) Grains of Spiritual Life in order to give Jann Lee a speedier recovery.
Hayabusa assumed Jann Lee was in the hospital that was closest to the festival so he visited the blindingly-white hospital and walked up to the receptionist with the …pink bag. Despite it being Christmas, the bag was kind of…Valentine's like?
"Is…Jann Lee in this hospital?" he asked, "I'm a friend…"
"Ah, you must be the – Haya, heyah- bus – the Heya-Bus-uh guy he wrote down for acceptable visitors. Right this way, Mr Heya Bus-uh." Hayabusa couldn't be bothered correcting her for the moment.
I'd rather people mispronounced my name than called me Busa as a nickname, to be honest, he thought.
"So," the nurse said, "is that Jann Lee's Christmas present? I'm sure he will be happy that he's received another one. Another guest gave him some cute little ornaments, which was nice." Hayabusa assumed this other guest was Leifang.
"I just got him some food, do you know if he has any allergies?" Hayabusa asked.
"No allergies at all in his medical records," she replied, "you should be fine."
…
Hayabusa cleaned his hands and entered the room where Jann Lee was lying. He was heavily injured.
"Jann Lee," Hayabusa placed the bag on the end-table next to the bed, "are you able to eat?"
"In small portions, I can," Jann Lee said, "why?"
"Inside this bag, there's Grains of Spiritual Life. They will help you on your recovery. Also, I went a bit… senseless and got you some sweets. I didn't know what you liked so I got some varieties of different things."
"I…appreciate it," Jann Lee smiled slightly, "I appreciate it a lot."
"I'm glad you do," Hayabusa nodded, "I just wanted to say that what you did out there last night…it was incredible – and"-
A nurse came in.
"Sir, you need to step outside for this procedure we're about to start on Jann Lee," she said.
"I understand," Hayabusa said and walked into the waiting room. A man wearing a big hoodie was sitting on one of the waiting seats outside. Hayabusa could only see his mouth.
"Hey, buddy," he whispered and grinned, "how's the boyfriend- I mean…friend?"
"Rig!" Hayabusa stood up, "where is MIST getting all these strange advancements"-
A glowing teal portal suddenly appeared behind them and the hooded villain jumped in.
Hayabusa followed in, guessing that this strange portal would take them to the new and more advanced MIST lab.
…
Hey guys, sorry for the delay. I've been very ill(haven't been this sick for years!) and I've had tons of work and studying to do. Check out the Tumblr: doaheadcanons, if you want to request a scenario, headcanon or imagine for your favourite characters/ships!
I'll be honest, I'm not sure if I like this one compared to my other ones, it might have something to do with Donovan's strange motive, even if the motive isn't really implied. Honest reviews with constructive criticism will always be welcome here.
The next one-shot will be surprisingly less action-focused and fluffier than anything. It will be set straight after Christie's DOA4 ending because I realised it was Rachel who appeared in her ending(yes I only JUST realised shhh). There will also be an OC(with a very small role) in it I made called Sugar, who will be working at the same club Christie did in that ending.
Would Yuuka count as an OC? I mean, she's technically Honoka's gran in my fanfictions, who has been acknowledged via Honoka's bios, but we don't know who Honoka's gran is yet or how she looks or what her personality is like. I imagine she's a contrast to Miyako, she's open about being a retired MIST worker and is supportive of Honoka following her dreams and entering tournaments due to the lack of freedom she had in her own youth.
