Chapter 7: An Accident Revealed

The next day, Shadaloo air fleets continue to manhunt Jin after his infiltration to his headquarters under Bison's temporary leadership.

At the forest, Jin, Xiaoyu and Hunyo were hiding from Shadaloo fleets under Bison's orders. They waited before the air fleets had gone.

"Looks like the Shadaloo fleets won't go after me now." Jin said as he faces Xiaoyu and Hunyo.

"Damn... Now I get involved on both of you getting manhunt." Xiaoyu said in disappointment.

"The red dictator seems to have a load of ideas to get us." Hunyo commented as he looked on the SUV had been covered in bushes. "Thank god this car is pretty good to drive."

"So tell us, Mr. Panganiban. Where do you come from?" Jin asked.

"I'm from Metro Manila, Philippines and I lived in a different world." Hunyo answered.

"Philippines? What place is that?" Xiaoyu wondered and Jin answers.

"It's one of the south-east asian countries has 7,107 islands, I haven't been there in that country."

"Oh..."

"My world is very peaceful and quiet. But I never expect I ended up in your world, a world with loads of war and a full of noises." Hunyo said and Jin asked him.

"Tell us everything. Why did you ended up in our world?"

"There was an accident happened in my world. That guy in your age is the great inventor in his own company. I've never seen he made a time machine. He says that just one touch you will be transported in a different world. But, it's not just about the touch. I accidentally pressed the crystal and the time machine activates. And here I am, stuck in your world has full of disasters." Hunyo explained sadly.

"Wow... you are a foreigner." Xiaoyu said happily as Jin tries to stop her.

"I see... So that's why you saved me from Bison. Now I understand that I'm no match against the dictator when I'm trying to regain control of my other half."

"You finally figured it out. I'm trying to find a way back to my world. But I can't..." Hunyo said as he tells both Jin and Xiaoyu. "Everyone was talking about that mysterious box had fall in the Antarctic. I know it was just a silly rumour."

"No it's not a rumor, It's real." Jin said as he explains to Hunyo. "The box you mentioned was Pandora."

"Pandora...?" Hunyo said as he reacts. "That's the box where everyone was talking about. It's also has a secret inside of that typical box."

"Typical you mean?" Xiaoyu confused on Hunyo's words as Jin became disappointed as he picks a stick as he sketches the box on the ground.

"This is no ordinary box, Mr. Panganiban. There must be a secret into it."

"Well that would be a bigger box." Hunyo said as he requested. "Jin, can I take that wooden twig?"

Hunyo then sketches the image of the Pandora's Box, putting circles in four sides of the box.

"It has four circles on each side of the box just like a domino and to have a cross. This box is a cubical shape."

Jin was shocked to see him doing it and Xiaoyu excitedly watches him.

"That's the Pandora's box." Jin said calmly as he tells his plan to Hunyo. "I planned to seek this box myself to understand my devil powers. I must get that box before everyone intends to seek it."

"You can't leave me here, Jin?" Xiaoyu said angrily to him. "Didn't you hear the news? Everyone went crazy because of that strange box. It's too dangerous for you to go alone."

"But I'm determined to go, Xiao. You don't have to follow me." Jin said coldly to her and Hunyo scolds him.

"Don't be stubborn, Jin. If you're intending to get that box, you need someone to help you getting it. But, seeking for the box alone would be very dangerous to investigate."

Jin remains silent when he was scolded by Hunyo as he agrees to take Xiaoyu with him.

"Alright, Xiao... You can go with me if you want."

"Yay! If anything happens to you, I'm right here." Xiaoyu said excitedly and Jin became disappointed on her actions.

"You see, she just wanted to protect you if you're in a dangerous situation." Hunyo said calmly and he stands up and tells Jin. "Before that, you want to seek Ryu, right."

"Yes... Mr. Panganiban. It's best that we can find him first before seeking Pandora." Jin said with a half-smile on his face.

"Yeah... but where is he?"

"Hmmm, it would be hard to find him, though." Hunyo said as he looked up to the sky sensing danger. "We better find a place to take refuge."

"Mr. Panganiban... what do you mean?"

"No time for conversation. We better move." Hunyo removes the covered bush in his SUV as Jin helps him removing it. Then, they get in the SUV and sets off.

At the gas station, Hunyo fuel tanks the SUV. However, before he pay the gas boy. His money was a Philippine peso and can't pay him.

Ugh... My money is all Philippine Peso? I forgot I'm at their world in Japan?

"Is something wrong, Mr. Panganiban?" Xiaoyu asked.

"Well, how can I pay if my money was in Philippine Peso? I'm totally broke...?" Hunyo said disappointed as Jin pays it by using his credit card.

"There you go..."

"Thank you so much..."

"I guess you need a hand." Jin smirked as Hunyo thanked him.

"Thanks, Jin..."

"Since you're a foreigner, I decided to help you to get you back home..."

"Oh..."

"I have two things in my mind. One is to find a cure for my devil gene and two to find a way to get you back home. I think it would be Pandora."

"You have guts, Jin." Hunyo said calmly. "It's better I can help the two of you. Since I'm stuck in your world, I will help you if anything happens on both of you."

"I'm glad you're with us. Mr. Panganiban..." Xiaoyu smiled.

"Heh... it's no problem, Xiaoyu. I can do this." Hunyo said nicely as Jin finally got his credit card and asked him. "So, what place we can take refuge?"

"Mishima Estate. That would be the only place we can take refuge." Jin said smirking. "We better move."

"I don't know the route of this estate." Hunyo replied as Jin tells him.

"Don't worry, I can help you. I know the route of going to the Estate."

"You're quite a navigator, huh. Alright, let's go to the Estate." Hunyo said seriously as he drives his SUV straight. They knew that the fleets were still pursuing them.
