"NO, NO I don't believe you!" Xiaoyu gripped the shoulders of a woman with blue eyes and blonde medium length hair tied into a ponytail. She sported a purple catsuit that hugged her lean and fit body tight.
"Hmph, if you choose not to believe me, that's on you." Nina Williams lightly pushed Xiaoyu away from touching her.
Xiaoyu slowly slumped to her knees. She lowered her gaze from Nina to the floor. Tears flowed down her cheeks and dropped to the floor. "I.. I don't understand..." She sniffed.
Nina slowly walked away from Xiaoyu with her back now facing hers. She then turned her head towards Xiaoyu one last time. "I am very sorry, Ling Xiaoyu." She spoke with no real emotion and walked out of the room.
I was too late... Xiaoyu thought.
She punched the floor in frustration and inflicted a little pain on her hand but didn't pay any attention to the pain because she was already severely hurt from what she was informed.
I couldn't save him, it's my fault. Xiaoyu squeezed her eyes shut in attempt to suppress her tears but failed and continued to let them fall.
Nina quietly closed the door and turned her attention to a dark skin man who wore dark shades with a scar that is the shape of an 'X' on his face. His hair is blonde and he sported a black sleeveless leather suit with gloves.
"Are we done here?" Raven spoke in a deep neutral tone.
Nina nodded in reply and continued walking to make her way out the area. Raven simply followed behind in silence.
She needed to know the situation... Nina thought.
Sadly, it cannot be undone.
Xiaoyu was now staring into the eyes of the man that was reported to be dead, Jin Kazama.
But those eyes were not the ones she had missed drowning herself into. These eyes were full of hate, anger, and evil. There was something different about the eye contact they were making right now compared to before. Back then she felt enthusiastic and happy in his gaze, however now she felt as if he were choking her with his demonic eyes. It felt like he was suffocating her.
It felt like she was trapped.
His presence doesn't feel the same... Xiaoyu thought as she stood stiff as a board.
He began to slowly close the distance between them. His eyes never leaving hers.
They told me he was dead...
He continued moving closer to her.
I forced myself to believe it!
He was now just a few feet away.
This is Jin, but-
"XIAOYU!"
Xiaoyu quickly ran away from him and made her way back inside the school. She quickly locked the door and slid down to the floor with her back against the door to catch her breath.
But this is not my Jin...
"Xiaoyu, what the hell is going on out there?" An aggressive female voice asked.
Xiaoyu slowly brought her gaze to the female.
"Asuka, I... I-"
"Are you aware that there's a lockdown going on right now?"
"Asuka you've got to listen to me I saw-"
Suddenly there was loud banging on the door.
"DON'T open it!" Xiaoyu shouted and pushed Asuka away from the door.
"What is out there, Xiaoyu?" Asuka grew frustrated.
"Asuka I saw-"
The door was suddenly burst opened into pieces. Both Asuka and Xiaoyu shield themselves with their arms from the broken pieces of the door that were attacking them. After the pieces stopped Asuka uncovered her face to see who or what has intruded the school, she was not afraid.
"All right, you've got a lot of nerve to-" Asuka cut herself off as her eyes grew wide at who was standing before her.
"Jin!?"
"Damn it the door is locked. Why is it locked!?" Miharu desperately tried to open the door. Miharu had saw Xiaoyu run out the door, but she was unable to follow her because it was shut right in her face by a security guard.
"Is there another way out this room?" Alisa asked.
"This is the only way out."
A bulb lit up above Alisa's head.
"I have an alternative way to get us out of here!" Alisa spoke with confidence.
"Really? How?"
Alisa replied by sprouting chainsaws from her arms.
"Whoa whoa Alisa not here! Put those away!" Miharu nervously looked around in hopes no one was watching them.
"Oops, my apologies." Alisa said putting away her chainsaws.
Miharu then took Alisa's hand. "If you're going to do that, do it where no one will see you." Miharu dragged Alisa behind a snack table where no one was around.
"All right do your stuff!" Miharu slowly backed away from Alisa to give her space.
"Okay!" Alisa once again sprouted her chainsaws and began cutting a hole in the wall.
Hwoarang quietly watched from the distance as the girls were trying to escape the room. He was slightly freaked out by the pink haired girl that had chainsaws coming out of her arms.
So the girl is a robot? Hwoarang questioned himself.
He brushed the thought off and switched his thoughts onto Xiaoyu. He was very concern for her right now. He did not mean to make her run away like that, he had to make it up to her.
Maybe after they make their way out, I'll go out through there too. Hwoarang looked towards the door and saw a few other students struggled to open the door.
"No this can't be... But they said you were dead!" Asuka spoke in disbelief slowly backing away from her cousin.
"That is what I was trying to tell you! He's... He's alive!" Xiaoyu spoke while also slowly distancing herself from him.
"Why would they lie to us!? Wait till I give them a piece of my mind!" Asuka gave a quick glance at Xiaoyu then back at her cousin who did not make eye contact with her at all.
"I don't think they were lying, Asuka!" Xiaoyu said.
Well then why here? Why now? Asuka thought. She tried to understand what was the meaning of all this. She then looked straight into her cousin's demonic eyes that were focused on something. Asuka looked to where his eyes were located and they landed on none other than Xiaoyu.
He's staring at Xiaoyu? What does he want with her?
Devil Jin took a step forward to them.
Asuka immediately positioned herself in her fighting stance, Whatever his intentions are with her, it's not good.
"Asuka?" Xiaoyu questioned.
"Xiaoyu you need to get out of here, now." Asuka spoke not breaking her gaze on her cousin.
"But-"
"I said GO!" Asuka shouted. This sudden tone shocked Xiaoyu, however she replied with a nod and quickly ran into a different hallway.
Devil Jin watched Xiaoyu run off and attempted to follow but was cut off when Asuka jumped in front of him.
"You're not going anywhere!" Asuka said still in her fighting stance.
Devil Jin merely gave a sadistic laugh that sent chills down Asuka's spine.
"If you simply wish to have your blood splatter everywhere.." Devil Jin brought his claws close to his face with an evil smirk. "Then so be it."
Asuka gritted her teeth, she was not going to let him scare her.
I am not backing down! She was determined to face him.
"Mind if I join?"
Suddenly Lili came in doing cartwheels and jumped next to Asuka then placed herself in her own fighting stance.
"Lili, not now." Asuka sighed in annoyance.
"I thought you needed assistance." Lili smirked.
"How did you even get out the dance room? They locked every single door in the school."
"I have my resources."
"Whatever." Asuka clenched her fists preparing to battle.
"I will eliminate the both of you." Devil Jin spoke.
"My you are quite hideous." Lili commented on Devil Jin's appearance. This earned a small chuckle from Asuka. Devil Jin responded when his forehead began to glow red. Asuka instantly noticed what was about to occur and tackled Lili to the floor to dodge the laser beam.
"That's it!" Asuka quickly got off of Lili and faced her cousin. "You asked for it!" Asuka then began to blindly charge at him with her fist. Devil Jin flew above Asuka completely dodging her attack, and descended back to the floor a few feet behind her. Asuka turned around clenching her fists so hard her palms began to bleed from piercing them with her nails. She again charged at Devil Jin in full force. He responded by blocking her punch. She began throwing several punches but he kept blocking all her attacks. Asuka then attempted to knee him in the ribs but he quickly took hold of her leg and shoved her back, sending her to the floor. Asuka slowly rose off the floor and dusted herself off.
Dammit I can't touch him! Asuka gritted her teeth.
For the third time she charged at her cousin. I won't give up!
"Have you failed to realize your approach is ineffective?" Devil Jin said while preparing to block Asuka's attack.
Suddenly Devil Jin's eyes grew wide as a kick was delivered to his back, sending him to the wall. Asuka stood still in shock to see that it was Lili who delivered the blow from behind.
"Hmph, his guard was down." Lili flipped her hair and slowly walked by Asuka's side.
"Sorry for knocking you down." Asuka looked at her blonde rival. They may not get along, but she will not allow her cousin to kill Lili.
"Don't worry." Lili replied.
Devil Jin began to slowly get up causing the girls to quickly return to their fighting stances.
"I've had enough." He said now charging his hands with red electricity. The girls both stiffened from the sudden power.
"I will end you both, NOW!" This time he was charging at them in full power. Lili managed to jump out of the way but Asuka did the opposite.
"Asuka, what the hell are you doing!?" Lili screamed.
Asuka was now holding Devil Jin's arm that was full of electricity surrounding his hand, it was centimeters from her face. Devil Jin was shocked at this action as well. She's got the blood and power of a Kazama flowing through her. He attempted to push his arm forward but Asuka tried very hard to push back still gripping his arm.
Lili noticed what was occurring and took advantage of it by quickly rushing towards Devil Jin, preparing to deliver another fierce kick. Devil Jin was well aware of Lili's intentions this time and before she could make contact he delivered a red electric charged uppercut with his free arm to her jaw. Lili's body spun in a 180 in the air and landed face first on the floor with a sickening loud thud sound.
"LILI!" Asuka screamed with her wide eyes now on Lili's body.
Devil Jin took this moment to grab Asuka's neck with the same arm he uppercut Lili with and pointed his other hand filled with red electricity directly to her face.
"Now, you will die." Devil Jin was about to attack her, but was stopped when Asuka desperately tried to rake his eyes with her fingers in attempt to get him to release her neck. This made him roughly shove her away from him, causing her to land on the floor next to Lili. Asuka ignored her cousin and focused her attention to Lili.
"Oh god, Lili!" Asuka quickly crawled closer to the blonde. She gently turned Lili's body over to her back almost nervous of what she was about to see. When she successfully got Lili on her back she saw Lili's face was coated in blood. The blood appeared to have came from her nose.
Her nose is broken Asuka assumed.
Asuka checked Lili's pulse in hopes that she was breathing because she did not make one move or sound.
She's breathing. Asuka sighed in relief. She needed medical attention immediately. Asuka was about to pick up Lili's unconscious body but was picked up by her leg by her cousin.
"Let me go!" Asuka demanded as she was being held upside down by her left leg. He then swung and threw her violently to the wall causing her to hit her back. Asuka hit the wall hard and slid down on the wall. She then slumped from her knees to her hands on the floor now on all fours. Asuka was preparing to get back up, but Devil Jin quickly planted his foot on her right hand and slowly crushed it. Asuka replied in a scream of pain and dropped her stomach to the floor. Devil Jin smirked as her screams of pain were pleasure to his ears. He then moved his foot to her elbow.
Xiaoyu checked from door to door to see if there was a different way out rather than the front where he was.
Then it hit her.
Oh gosh I forgot about Miharu and Alisa! Xiaoyu thought quickly turning around to find the door to the dance room.
When she finally spotted the door she grasped the door knob and attempted to open it but failed.
Every door is locked in the school Xiaoyu scanned the hallway. There's got to be someone out here.
"Is anyone in the hallway? Can someone help me please!" Xiaoyu said but only received a response from a female scream causing to Xiaoyu stiffened.
That sounded like Asuka! Without hesitation Xiaoyu began to run back to the front of the school where she and Asuka met.
I'm so stupid for leaving her alone with him, I shouldn't have listened to her! She then stopped for a moment to remove her shoes because they were hindering her from running any faster. After that she continued to follow the screams.
Devil Jin applied pressure to Asuka's arm, receiving a loud cracking sound from her arm and an even louder scream that escaped her lips. Devil Jin laughed the more she screamed. She screamed so much that it turned into cries. He once again charged up his hand with electricity and prepared to finish her. Asuka had no strength left to make a move but only cry in agony.
"Farewell." Devil Jin said.
"JIN, STOP!"
Devil Jin paused in place with his hand still charged and aiming at his cousin. He slowly turned his head to the girl that screamed his name to stop.
"Xiao." He said her name in a soft tone, the only person he would speak to in that specific tone, as well as his mother.
"What have you done!?" Xiaoyu covered her mouth in shock as her eyes sunk in everything that was displayed right in front of her. She saw Lili laid on the floor with her face covered in red fluids. And Asuka on her stomach on the floor clutching her right arm. She had already witness three men get murdered right before her eyes moments ago. She was not prepared to see what was revealed to her now. Devil Jin gave an insidious smile and lowered his arm to his side and powered off the electricity that formed around his hand. And then fully turned his whole body to face Xiaoyu.
So many questions flooded Xiaoyu's mind it made her head hurt. How is he alive? Why is he here now? Why did he hurt all those people? Why? Out of all the questions, she could only bring herself to ask one.
"Jin, what do you want?"
Silence.
"Well!?" Xiaoyu raised her voice and began to shed tears. "Why are you here!? Why did you come here out of all places? Out of all times? Why did you hurt and kill all these innocent people? What have they done to you to deserve such a fate?"
The silence continued.
"Answer me please, Jin! What do you want!?"
"You."
This response caused Xiaoyu's eyes to widened and her whole body to go stiff. She would have never thought that would be his answer.
"M-Me?" She felt her knees wobble. What does he want with me? She thought.
He didn't reply but began to make his way to her. Xiaoyu slowly backed away, trying to keep her distance from him. She turned her back to him and ran away as fast as she could. She felt guilty for leaving Asuka and Lili there, but she felt like her life was truly in danger now. H-He wants to kill me!? But the Jin I know would never do this!
Then the thought struck her like lightning. How will she get out? She's already checked many doors in the school and they were all locked. She'll only runaway to find herself in a dead end. Xiaoyu paused to finally catch her breath until the humanoid voice that she started to loathe spoke in the distance.
"You can hide but I WILL find you." The voice laughed.
Xiaoyu shut her eyes tight. Please just go away! She mentally begged. Why couldn't this just be a really bad dream!?
Suddenly an awful and loud screeching sound emerged that caused Xiaoyu to instantly cover her ears and open her eyes to locate the horrible sound. And there she saw Jin slowly walking with his claws scraping the glass of the windows while smirking at her.
...How did he find me so fast!? Xiaoyu thought beginning to lose hope. No matter where she would go he will always find her.
"LEAVE ME ALONE, PLEASE!" Xiaoyu desperately begged. She'd never thought she would think this but for the first time ever she was afraid, afraid of him. She used to feel safe around him but now it's the complete opposite. Even after her desperate request, Devil Jin still continued to make his way to her.
Then she became curious.
What if I just... Stand here and just accept my fate for whatever it is. She felt disgusted for thinking this way and giving up so easy but what other choice did she have? If she runs away he'll merely find her anyway. It would just go on forever.
Devil Jin too realized Xiaoyu's sign of defeat as he watched the clear liquids fall from her eyes once more as she stood there. He continued to display his devious smile and make his way to her.
"YAH!"
Xiaoyu's eyes widen.
Out of no where Devil Jin was kicked in the face with powerful force by a figure so hard he was sent through the glass window.
Xiaoyu gasped at what just transpired right before her. She then realized who took out Jin.
"HWOARANG!"
