Sup guys. Sorry this took F-O-R-E-V-E-R to update. Let's face it, I won't blame it on school work or the holiday season, I'm lazy, plain and simple.

/\

After an uneventful limo ride, the group pulled up in front of Lili's Mansion. After Lili's father broke his ties with the Mishima Zaibatsu, he had begun a new partnership with Microsoft. Now his company is producing technology to help people. Lili's butler, Sebastian, came out to meet them.

"Oh, Miss Lili,"Sebastian said, slightly surprised by the number of people that stepped out of the limo behind her. "If I had known that we were having guests, I would have prepared a meal."

Craig's eyes lit up. "Alright, I like the way this guy thinks. BRING OUT THE GRUB!!"

CRACK Both Williams hit him in the back of the head. "You pig you just ate." They said in unison. The two women turned and looked hard into each other's eyes. Behind them Forest was praying they didn't break into a hell cat fight. They both let out a humph and turned their backs on each other.

Lili rolled her eyes. "Sebastian, we need to get to Japan quickly, could you get the flight crew on the horn and set up the jet?" Sebastian bowed. "It would be my pleasure madam." He pulled out a cell and dialed a number, beckoning the group to follow him as he talked to the captain.

Half an hour and about thirty arguments between Craig and Paul later, the jet was ready. "You are due to leave soon," Sebastian said. "Please follow me." After ten minuets of walking through Lili's mansion, they arrived in the hanger area. (A/N: One big house huh?) Before them sat a 747 sized black jet with Lili's last name of Rochefort painted in gold on the side of it.

"Whoa, that's one big jet girl." Eddy said with a low whistle. Lili just shrugged.

"Actually, we got rid of the old one because it was too big. This one is just right." Lii said as if things like this happened everyday. Christie shook her head.

"Man, to be rich and famous." She said. The group climbed onto the jet and sat down in the genuine bear leather reclining chairs, strapping themselves in for take off. The doors to the hanger opened and the jet taxied out. After a quick systems check, the jet sailed down the runway and took to the sky. Now they all had plenty of time to sit back and relax.

King-

King sat next to Anna Williams who had fallen asleep shortly after take off and was now letting her head rest on King's shoulder. "Amazing," King thought to himself. "She is so fiery when awake, but even she can seem serene. Hard to imagine she was trying to kill her sister a day ago." King laughed quietly. "Still, all this tranquility could be shattered with Jinpachi's return. Jinpachi alone is bad, but if that sword he has could restore him to his former "glory," then what power could it have. We must destroy them both, at all costs. Then it's back to my title defense with my knucklehead partner Craig."

Anna-

Anna Williams was oblivious to the world around her as she slept quietly, not even aware that she had rested her head on King's shoulder. She was dreaming and how happy was she. In her mind, her sister was dead and she was doing what she always wanted to do. She was a cat walk super model. The most famous designers would line up, trying to get her to model their clothes. There were men all along the walk, all vying for her attention. One man had a wad of cash that he waved towards her. Another was trying to show off his tattoo of her. Others, most likely drunk, were just yelling comments out to her.

One man, though, out of all the others, stood out to her. In the corner was a man with sterling green eyes, sat his focus on her. He looked straight into her eyes; he wasn't eyeing her up like a piece of meet like most of the others. When Anna was done, she had a chance to look out and get a better look at him. He was dressed in grey pants and a silver vest. Her eyes traveled to his face. He was so handsome with long blond hair. Right now, his eyes were closed, like he didn't even care about the other models.

"If only I knew his name." Anna thought. She smiled in her sleep.

The Laws-

Marshall and Forest Law sat side by side, discussing what ever came to mind, as father and sons so often do. "Now you get to see what your old man really has." Marshall said proudly. "Let's hope you've improved since the third tournament." Forest said. "Remember when I came home last time with Paul? We were in the dojo and you tired to show off with the frog man leap and you fell on your butt?" Marshall turned red with embarrassment. "Shhh, don't mention that to anyone." (A/N: This little incident in question is from Forest Law's ending in Tekken 3)

"I know you've gotten better dad." Forest said with a laugh. A comfortable silence fell over them. After about two minuets Forest broke the silence. "Um dad, did you tell mom about this?" Marshalls face fell in fear. "Oh no." He muttered.

Paul-

Paul sat next to Nina Williams, nursing a blackening eye. Nina had caught him staring at her while she was on her lap top, so she had punched him a good one. "Damn women." He though. "How dare she hit the greatest fighter in the world. It's a good thing Jinpachi is here. Now I can prove I'm the greatest fighter in the world. No one is better than me.

Steve-

Steve had finally managed to worm his self out of Lili's iron grasp. Lili had fallen asleep and had latched herself on to him. Steve walked to the back and grabbed a chilled Earl Gray from the mini fridge. He popped the cap and took a long drink. "Ahh," Steve said. "If it's not Earl Gray then its not authentic English tea. And that is an insult to the Queen." He laughed quietly. "I needed this. I mean bloody 'ell that girl is incredibly clingy. Why do I date her again?"

Steve pulled out a list from his pocket. On it said, "Why you date Lili"

She's rich

She's pretty

She's rich

She's a nice girl

She's rich

She's compassionate

She's rich

"Ahh, that's why. I had forgotten." Steve thought, replacing the paper. He went back to his seat and sat back down. Immediately Lili clamped her arms around him again. "Bloody 'ell" he muttered.

Nina-

Nina sat next to Paul who was delicately rubbing his eye. "Stupid gorilla," She thought. Her finger's moved quickly across the keys of her laptop. Before her, multiple news reports flashed on her screen. All of them had one thing in common, strange reports of a man with a sword floating in the sky. "So…He's exploring the land." She thought. "He's looking for something, but what?" Nina continued flipping through report after report, until a tabloid article popped up. She was about to skip it when the title caught her eye. It said, "Demon sword seeks soul." Below it was a picture of what looked to be the same sword they had seen Jinpachi with.

"Steals souls?" Nina thought. She read on. Articles had been found in an old library about a sword of evil that grew stronger as it stole the souls of its victims. It is called the Soul Blade. It may bring about the end of the world.

"Well, I guess I could check it out." Nina thought. She hit a few keys and accessed a data base of archives from her home lands government. She searched for the word soul blade, and to her surprise, she found something. An ancient story from the Australian Aborigines had the same reference. She opened it and started to read.

Craig-

In the far back of the plane, Craig sat in a corner, a garbage can next to him, holding his stomach. He had a sickly green tinge to his face. "I…hate…flying." He mumbled before air sickness took over his stomach.

Raven-

Raven sat quietly, his eyes closed. He was clearing his mind, spiritually and mentally preparing for the task ahead.

Tokyo International Airport: #:58 pm.

While one group flew to the land in the Far East, another was there waiting for them to arrive. Tokyo International Airport had granted clearance to the private jet, so all the others had to do was sit and wait.

Jin-

"Well, if Heihachi didn't do it, then who did?" That was the question he couldn't get out of his mind. After the "interrogation" of Heihachi, Armor King had received a call from King. King informed him that the group in The west was coming to Japan to meet up with them.

"Well, I suppose the more the better. We're going to need some more bright minds to figure this damn mystery out." Jin looked around at the motley crew around him. "How the hell did we get all these nut jobs all together?" He thought.

Yoshimitsu-

Yoshimitsu sat next to Armor King and Ganryu in the terminal. All three of them were receiving strange looks from all the people sitting around them. Yoshimitsu leaned over to Ganryu and said, "I think they're staring at you."

"You're crazy." Ganryu said. "Look at yourself in that armor, they're totally staring at you."

Yoshimitsu crossed his arms with a grunt. "You'd think they've never seen a ninja before." He thought. "Oh never mind that. The real problem is not these naïve people, but Jinpachi. You know, if there was another me around, I think the two of us could take Jinpachi down. Maybe I should call some of my clan members, see if they've seen anything."

Julia-

Julia was sitting next to Asuka and Ling Xiaoyu, listening to some music. She wasn't really focusing on the music however. She had too many thoughts revolving in her mind. Most of them about Jinpachi and the battle that would soon start, but one thought kept coming back to her mind. "I'm lonely." Julia thought for about the third time. "Wait Julia, what are you thinking? This is not the time to let silly thoughts run rampant in your mind. We need to focus on Jinpachi and Jinapchi alone…" She sighed. "Oh, who am I kidding? Let's face it girl, you need someone special in your life. But who would gp for a tree hugging science geek like me? If only I could find someone who loved nature as much as I do, then we would get along great. But that will never happen."

Ganryu-

Ganryu sat quietly, hands folded, his mind wander since he had no one to talk to. Yoshimitsu had gone into a huff about who was being stared at, and Armor King never said a word. "Ganryu my boy, maybe it's time for a change. You've had these feelings for Julia, but they never seem to go any where for you. Maybe it's a sign you should find someone else." He told himself. He often had conversations with himself when "alone." Ganryu let out a sigh. "But how can I ignore these feelings?" He asked himself.

"Is it not better to have loved and lost then to have never loved at all?" He asked himself.

"That's very unoriginal advice you know that?" Ganryu said to his other half. He shook his head, dispelling the other voice. "I really shouldn't talk to myself." He thought.

Kazuya-

Pssssss….sss…Zip Kazuya walked over to the sink to wash his hands. "Damn that Heihachi." He thought. "They could have allowed me to beat him some." He dried off his hands and shoved them into his pockets. Kazyua shoved his way roughly through a line of men and he walked out of the bathroom. (A/N: Ever notice that airport bathrooms are really crowded? I have.) "Well," He thought, "I'll just enlist a little "help." He laughed quietly as his left eye flashed red for a moment.

Wang-

"I'm just utterly amazed." Wang said as he sat back down, shaking his head. "You'd think an old man could find a good bottle of sake here. How do they expect this old conger to relax, especially with all these pretty girls around?" (A/N: In some of Wang's pre-match phrases, for girls he'd say "Ohhh, you look hot." Kinda creepy huh?) Wang's face fell. "Speaking of sake, I wonder what's wrong with you old friend? You were dead and buried, but now your back. I remember the good old days when the two of us young rapscallions would go down to a bar and drink the night away. Well, we'd drink until we were thrown out for starting a fight anyway. Remember the time the sushi chef came after us with a knife when we came n thinking it was a brothel? Good times, good times. Don't worry old friend, I'll be joining you soon."

Asuka-

SMACK Asuka turned on her heel and stomped away from the guy who had been hitteing on her. At first things were fine, but then he got a little too handsey, so she let him have it. (A/N: I don't know if handsey is a word, but I've heard it before.) "I need a real guy." She thought as she plopped down next to Ling Xiaoyu. "I need someone whose ass I can't kick without a good fight, so many of these guys are wimps. And maybe someone who can cook. Heaven knows I can'. And ya know..." She thought, looking over at Hwoarang, "Red hair would be a perk."

Hwoarang-

Hwoarang leaned over a sleeping Baek with a spoon full of hot sauce poised above Baek's open mouth. "Right here." He thought, and he let the spoon drop. Baek's eyes flew open, his left hand snatched the spoon in mid air, and his right hand punched Hwoarang right between the eyes, knocking him over. "You, fourty laps around the block, GO!!" Baek said fiercely. "Yes sir," Hwoarang said with a sad bow. He jogged outside and started running around the block. "Damn," He thought.

Ling Xiaoyu-

Ling Xiaoyu sat looking out the window, worrying about her best friend. "I hope Miharo will be alright while I'm gone. We've spent so little time together and just yesterday we planned to go shopping. I heard the disappointment in her voice when I told her I had to go again. I'll make it up to her when I get home."

Lei Wulong-

Detective Lei Wulong had joined the group at the airport as he had been called by Marshall and abeen given the details. "Well, I suspect that Bryan Fury will know about this, so if we find Jinpachi, we'll find Bryan. Then I can take him to justice." He smiled; glad to finally have a chance to capture his elusive quarry.

Armor King-

Armor King at quietly, awaiting his protégée's arrival.

Tokyo International Airport 5:00 pm.

Hwoarang dropped panting in front of his teacher "My…apologies…sensei." He gasped out. Baek nodded. "Good work." He said. Lin Xiaoyu jumped up from her chair and pointed. "Look everyone! They're here." On the runway landed a black jet with the name "Rochefort" painted in gold on the side.

After a ten minuet docking and clearance procedure, the group from America got of board to meet with the others. "It's good to see you all." Julia said, hugging Christie. "It's good to see you to." Christie said. Old friends met up again. "Umm… where's Marshall?" Asuka said, breaking her hug with Forest and looking around.

They all looked around, just as puzzled. "There he is," Steve said, pointing. Marshal Law was over by the pay phone, talking to someone. "Look dear, I know that-." Marshall pulled the phone away from his ear. After about thirty seconds, he started talking. "But dear, we had to, you know that-." Again he pulled the phone away form his ear. "I'm sorry dear but we have to. I love you." With that he hung up the phone. "Man, your moms pissed." Hwoarang said to Forest. "Forest just nodded in agreement, a look of fear on his face.

"Come on," Jin said to the group. "Let's head back head back to the hotel and draw up a plan." There were murmurs of agreement and they all went outside, piled into a few taxi's and set off for the hotel.

Well there you go. It's done. I'm just so lazy sometimes I can't help it. Hope you like it.
