Chapter 3: Yggdrasil

Months after, Jin is surprised that there is no news of chaos throughout Japan except Kazuya merging the two companies as one. Other than that, he's also surprised he's not wanted. So he took the opportunity to live a peaceful life with Lili.

Few months ago…

"Kazumi is not dead yet" a bruised Heihachi shouted as he rose from the mouth of the active volcano. Shocked, Kazuya didn't believe him and released a final Inferno that hit his father, vanishing to the depths of the volcano, before he continued flying away.

Present day...

'Kazumi is not dead yet' these words can't escape Kazuya's mind as he sit on his throne being the head of the new Mishima Zaibatsu. It bothers him every single day, 'What if it's true? What does he suppose to feel? What happened? Why did Heihachi didn't tell him years ago? Where is she?' these thoughts normally follow after that, then someone knocked on the door.

"It's open" he said

"There's a letter for you, I bet it's confidential so anymore missions?" Anna informed as she give the letter for Kazuya.

"None get a break" he said holding the letter, signaling her to go out.

As he opened it, he was very shocked but kept his cold expression.

'My son, it's time. Find me, find your mother' these are the words the letter contains.

He quickly called Anna and asked her who the sender is. She quickly stated that there is no particular address whatsoever. She also said that it came from a mysterious woman that quickly vanished. Suddenly a soldier appeared in the room.

"Sir, I apologize for the inconvenience, but we're under attack by the rebellion" he explained.

Annoyed, Kazuya quickly rushed into the battle obliterating any enemy that crosses his path, followed by Anna and the soldier. Kazuya saw Lars and pinned him to the ground. Whereas, Nina and Anna crossed paths on the fourth floor of the building; soldiers with them.

"What a pleasant surprise dear sister, I see you joined the rebellion. Why, did you grow tired to your former boss?" Anna sarcastically said

"What are you talking about? I have come to end this rivalry of ours"

"So… you're surrendering?"

"In your wildest dreams sister" Nina said.

They quickly ordered the soldiers to open fire. As they battle, using everything just to gain the upper hand.

Meanwhile, Kazuya and Lars are still battling on the ground floor. Exchanging blows against each other. No one wants to give up. A quick punch to the face followed by an axe kick made Lars back off.

"So it's you…" Kazuya said while crossing his arms as purple miasma is seen escaping from his body.

"It's clear to me now, you're the one who we tracked using the devil gene again earlier" Lars stated, that shocked Kazuya. He knows that he didn't used the devil gene for a month already but he ignored this and attacked Lars anyway. Moving at an incredible speed, he lifted Lars and brought him on the top of the building. Before he stands up, Lars called Nina, asking her current status.

Meanwhile the William sisters, as well as a hundred soldiers, at least, are down on the floor. Nina is the first one to stand up but Anna silently followed. She sensed it and sent a backhand slap on her face, enough to knock her again, unconscious on the floor. She quickly responded on the call.

Few minutes later Nina arrived at the top of the building where she caught Lars kneeling, on the floor groaning in pain. Alisa quickly appeared out of nowhere and attacked Kazuya. Nina quickly told them to escape as she distracts Kazuya.

"How sweet this scene is, but the drama will soon end!" Kazuya shouted as he quickly attacked Nina, executing his Heaven's door move. While struggling to get up, Kazuya was inches closer to successfully stomping her before she rolled. She quickly executed her Bad Habit move but Kazuya sidestepped and she got caught on his Twin Pistons move which sent her in the air. The impact of the fall, as well as the force released by the punch, rendered her unconscious.

Kazuya transformed back to his normal self, he realized it, his grip and control on the devil gene became stronger, it's as if they're truly one being now. Although Alisa and Lars are both out of sight he ordered the remaining guards for Nina's captivity.

Few days after the incident, near their house somewhere in Japan, Jin heard the news about the Yggdrasil trying to attack Mishima Zaibatsu. Lili curiously asked Jin if they could move on his mansion again.

"We can't, it's too risky. I don't want to risk my wife's life" Jin answered, remembering they got married few weeks ago and still worried about their safety.

"You know I can protect myself right?" she responded

"As the saying goes; prevention is still better than the cure, but if you insist let me go there and check."

"No, I told you already I'll never leave your side"

"Then… if you really insist come with me, I have no choice Mrs. Kazama…"

That afternoon they reached Jin's mansion but surprisingly it's still intact, in fact it's still the same since they left it, no signs of searching. But Jin still made sure it's safe to proceed before letting Lili come with him inside.

"Kazuya is probably busy doing something" he said, surprised at what he saw.

"So what are we going to do now?" she curiously asked as the mansion was too big for the two.

"Try to find servants for the mansion. If you don't mind I'll proceed to our bedroom just follow there if you want" he answered

"I'll take a bath there if you don't mind."

"Hey your clothes are not here, right?" he curiously asked. She just ignored him and even went to the room faster than him. Tired, Jin silently followed and went to his bed automatically.

Meanwhile at the Mishima Zaibatsu, Kazuya announced seventh King of Iron Fist tournament, hoping the mysterious woman will appear. Shortly afterwards, he felt a presence, he sensed someone with a great power is near, someone with the devil gene is near.
