Epilogue
Minato 6 pm Newscast: "It's been 2 weeks since the 3-company war between the Mishima Zaibatsu, G Corporation and Jubilee Corporation came to a terrifying climax at the Quinto Airfield in Shinjuku. As a result of the huge fallout, hundreds of forces from the three companies were pronounced dead, or seriously injured. Some residents of Shinjuku and Minato reported hearing roaring-like sounds and/or seeing a creature-like object in the sky, but none of these things were confirmed by government officials. The head of all three companies; Helena Kovac, Kazuya Mishima and Jin Kazama, have not been seen since. Jubilee Corporation has officially been shut down after officials found out Kovac's true intentions with a helpful anonymous tip. As far as the Zaibatsu and G Corporation goes, Heihachi Mishima is indeed the head of the Zaibatsu again. There's a head of G Corp, but it's unknown at the moment..."
3 Years Later
"Teal, come on. Let's dance!"
"Xiao, we just came from the dancefloor."
"I know, but I love this song!"
Teal rolled her eyes playfully and nodded, taking Xiaoyu's hand. They walked through the crowd people and made their way to the middle of floor. "Your Body" by Christina Aguilera blasted through the club's speakers as the two girls began playfully dancing with each other. Miharu, Asuka and Lili joined them soon afterward, and they all got into a huddle-like circle and began swaying back and forth to the beat of the song. It was Teal's 21st birthday, and she was the last one to turn 21 in the group, so they decided to celebrate big by going to the club. She was generally having a good time, and the couple of drinks she had in her system made it even better. The song ended and the girls made their way back to the bar. They began scoping out some of the guys in the club, but Teal stayed back and said nothing. She began getting this weird gut feeling, that ultimately killed the buzz she had from the alcohol. The weird feeling turned into a bad one, and her eyes began turning purple. Vision time.
There was a girl, and a woman. The girl had to be around 13 or 14, and the woman in her late 40's/early 50's. The girl looked lost, and scared, and the woman was closing in on her, smiling evilly. Teal couldn't see the woman's face, but she had a feeling who it was. Behind the girl was a laundry shop that Teal immediately recognized; it was 4 blocks from the club they were in.
"You can come with me the easy way, or we can do this the hard way." The familiar woman said to the girl, as the vision faded away.
Teal blinked her eyes and jumped up, causing Miharu to grab her suddenly.
"You okay?" She asked her.
"I just had a vision." Teal said.
"About what?"
"I don't know, but some girl is about to be in trouble." Teal said, walking towards the front door quickly.
"Wait!" Xiao called out behind her as she struggled to keep up.
Asuka and Lili stayed behind (probably because they were too drunk to comprehend what was going on), and Teal, Xiaoyu and Miharu made their way out of the club.
"Where are we going?" Xiaoyu asked, her sobriety catching up with her.
"The vision was near the laundry mat a couple of blocks from there, so that's where."
When they got to the laundry mat, sure enough, there was the same girl there, looking scared and lost, as the woman (who's back was facing Teal), closed in on her.
"You can come with me the easy way, or we can do this the hard way." She said.
Teal recognized the voice better, and her stomach felt like it was going to come out of her throat.
"Hey, that's—"Miharu started.
"Helena." Teal sneered.
The woman stopped walking and turned around and looked at Teal, Miharu and Xiaoyu, with a huge smile on her face.
"Well well well, these are three faces I haven't seen a in very long time. Where's the rest of your fluffy bunny crew?" Helena smirked.
"What are you still doing—" Teal said through her teeth angrily.
"Here? Alive?" Helena finished her sentence. "Oh that's right, you thought you killed me."
Helena laughed for a couple of seconds, and Teal caught a glimpse of the girl behind Helena. She still looked scared, and pretty beaten up, literally. I don't think Helena did that to her...so who did?
"Well, I guess you were wrong. It took me awhile to recuperate, because you did beat me up pretty bad. I'll admit that. But I doubt you can do that now." Helena finished.
"Leave her alone." Teal said, referring to the girl. "I don't know why you insist on picking on people that are smaller than you."
"Oh, because it's fun!" Helena said, over-excitedly. "Besides, this is strictly business. We need her."
"Well, you're not going to get her." Teal said.
She got into her stance and Helena laughed, getting into her also, "You wanna see my new-found fighting techniques?!" Helena yelled. "Let's do this."
Teal and Helena ran to each other and began swinging and kicking. Teal had to admit, Helena definitely brushed up on her technique from the last time they fought. Helena laughed maniacally as she dodged Teal's attacks, which made her even angrier.
"You still fight like an 18 year old, huh?! Did you even attempt to better your Yakima family fighting style?" Helena taunted her.
"Shut up, bitch!" Teal said, blasting her back with her powers.
She was irate now, as her powers began to take over and her infamous purple aura began forming around her. Xiaoyu and Miharu watched in shock (plus, they were still pretty intoxicated to really do anything), and Helena's dark reddish-like aura began forming around her also.
"You wanna resort to using sheer powers now? Fine." Helena's now-distorted voice said. "You'll still lose."
A couple of seconds later, the sound of an explosion could be heard blocks away, followed by screams. Both woman stopped, as their aura began dying down, as they looked in the direction where the explosion came from.
"Was that from the club?" Xiaoyu suddenly asked.
"Oh no. Asuka and Lili!" Miharu cried out.
Xiaoyu phone began ringing and she picked it up. "Hello...where are you?!...we're at the laundry mat...okay. We'll meet you there. Bye." After she hung it up, she looked at Teal. "Teal, Miharu and I are going to meet Asuka and Lili across from the club. Can you take this bitch by yourself?"
Teal nodded and they ran off. She looked back at the girl, who was still speechless and looking at what was going on.
"Move out of the way, Teal." Helena warned.
"You're not taking her." Teal said. "You gotta kill me first."
"That's all you had to say." Helena said, swinging at her again.
Teal anticipating her attack and dodged it, punching her back with such force that she flew back and hit the floor, a couple of feet away.
"Daijoubou desuka?" Teal asked the girl if she was okay in Japanese. "Koko de nani wo shiteiru no desu ka?"
"Slow down." The girl groaned in English, holding her head. "I can't understand anything you're saying. I haven't understood anything that has been said since you came."
Teal smiled, realizing the girl spoke English and said it again, this time in English. "Are you okay? What are you doing here?"
"Oh, well...I'm fine." The girl said. "Watch out!"
Teal looked back and quickly put a force field up easily, something she had practiced doing since the Quinto Airfield incident three years ago. The force field caused Helena to blast back again, and Teal waited for her to stand back up. The explosions continued, and she could see the smoke and fire coming from the directions of the club. A phone began ringing and Teal knew it wasn't hers, and it wasn't the girls' either.
"Go." Helena coughed out. "...Fine. I'm on my way back now." She hung up the phone and looked at Teal, coughing again and spitting out blood. "I'm not done with you yet." She pointed to the girl, and then to Teal. "And we definitely have unfinished business."
"We sure do." Teal smiled.
"You'll both see me soon. Sooner than you think."
With that, Helena was gone. Teal looking down at the girl, who had fell to the ground from the impact of the explosions, and helped her up.
"What are you doing out here so late?" Teal asked her. "Aren't you supposed to be home right now?"
"I was trying to go home but these neighborhood thugs kept following me, and I ran too far. Then that old bitch tried to take me away." The girl answered.
Teal laughed and said, "You definitely have to be careful. Minato's a pretty dangerous neighborhood at night, especially if you're a female. I'll walk you home if you want."
"Really? That'd be so cool!" The girl said.
They began walking as Teal called Xiaoyu to tell her what was going on. When she was finished, she looked at the girl and smiled.
"So, I gotta know the name of the girl I just saved. I'm Teal." Teal started.
"Embrie." The girl said, smiling back.
As she said that, Teal looked down to the ground and saw the silhouette of a Devil-like creature on the ground, and stopped. She looked up quickly and saw the creature in the sky, flying away from them, and her heart skipped a beat.
"Was that—?!" She whispered.
