Chapter 23: Destination, Antarctica

It was late night, Jin couldn't sleep for more than three hours straight. He remembers that he needs to settle the score with Bison once and for all. However his father and grandfather are also searching for box. Both were just like Bison. However, Bison have other plans is to dominate their world after he claims the box. He quickly gets up and he leaves his room to check both Xiaoyu and his teacher, Hunyo.

He checks at Xiaoyu, he feels sorry for making her cry as he thought.

I'm sorry, Xiao... I made you cry. You are just like my mother.

Jin continues to check on them. When he looked at Hunyo's room it was empty. He noticed that he went outside as he goes outside and he found him watching the view of the ocean. Hunyo reads the letter to his wife and it says.

Hunyo I know you haven't show up in three weeks. Where are you? You can't leave me like this. I heard that you disappeared. I miss you, honey. Please forgive me that I hurt you so much. I still love you as my husband. Please come back...

Hunyo then stops reading. He really misses his wife so much knowing that he made her upset.

"Forgive me, Marissa... I hurt you so much. I shouldn't become careless of you. I'll be back, I promise." Hunyo mumbled as Jin calls him.

"Sensei...!"

"..." Hunyo looked and he faces Jin became worried to see him. "Jin, you're still awake. You should be sleeping by now."

Both then have a conversation while they are sitting on the ground while watching the view.

"I see. You did miss your wife very much."

"It's my fault that I make her worried. I shouldn't think that I stayed in a different world." Hunyo said blaming himself for what he did.

"But when did you planned of going there?"

"That was when I have problems on my work as well as my wife. My job is starting to fall apart. I would become unemployed if I get fired." Hunyo said sadly as Jin encourages him.

"Don't say that, sensei. It's not your fault. Remember that you teach me these things earlier. It's just like you teach your own students what is right and also for me."

"You were right." Hunyo said nicely as he faces him. "I tried to convince the two girls to let you go. They actually agreed."

"You did this for me. After all they tried to arrest me with their warrants." Jin surprised.

"Don't get me wrong, they all knew that you were fighting Bison and his criminal organization. That's how I tell these two." Hunyo said remembering about Chun-Li and Cammy.

"Thanks, sensei. I owe you." Jin said thankfully as he stands up and he feels the wind goes in the other direction. "Pandora is drawing near."

"What? You sense something?"

"We have to move in the morning. I have someone from the Mishima Zaibatsu who is taken flight to make an air assault." Jin said seriously. "I must get Pandora and fast."

"Hmm, we must go to the Antarctica first. That's the only landing place we can get there." Hunyo said as both finally settled.

When everyone was asleep, Hunyo was having a dream as he woke up and realizing he was in the big snow mobile.

"What the...? Am I in Antarctic?" Hunyo said to himself as he confronted both Jin and Xiaoyu. "Jin, Xiaoyu... what are you two doing here? You're supposed to be sleeping right now."

"No one shall take Pandora..." Jin said in a deep voice while covering his eyes with his right hand as he was succumbed to the Pandora's power and he's in Pandora's state. "No matter how my power that I used, it's mine..."

"That's right." Xiaoyu said as she helped Jin on his side and she was also succumbed to the Pandora's power and she shown her darker side to Hunyo while in her Pandora's state. "It belongs to Jin and Jin belongs to me..."

"Jin, you must fight the Pandora's power and Xiaoyu, Jin is still your friend you can't act like an obsessed woman." Hunyo said as both starting to gang up on him by force. "UWAHHHHHH!"

But it turns out to be a nightmare. It changes back to where Jin and Xiaoyu were waking him up on his bed.

"Mr. Panganiban, wake up."

"Sensei...?"

When he opens his eyes and to see both of them, he quickly gets up and screams and he was face was covered in sweat.

"Thank God, I'm alive..." Hunyo said sadly.

"We have to go, sensei. I must get Pandora." Jin said worried and Xiaoyu checks on Hunyo.

"Mr. Panganiban, you're burning up or something and you are covered a lot of sweat."

"Listen you two, I just have a dream. You two were starting to gang up on me and I saw you two were in the Pandora's state." Hunyo said telling both Jin and Xiaoyu.

"Pandora's state... you mean Pandora's power?" Jin nodded.

"Whenever you were mind control with that power, you will have Pandora's markings on your body. I saw it in my dream."

"Mr. Panganiban. It's just the dream. It's alright. We're right behind you." Xiaoyu said encourages him.

"Sensei... we have to go now."

"Alright, let's go to Antarctica."

At the air base in the Mishima Zaibatsu, most of the air soldiers salute him on his return as he carry on.

"Sir, I thought you were dead." One of the soldiers said.

"I'm fine... can you take us to Antarctica immediately."

"Yes, sir..."

"Jin, you've been working in the Zaibatsu all this time." Xiaoyu said as Jin closes his eyes.

"I am the head of this company, right. I ordered each of my men would take us in Antarctica."

"He's got a lot of intentions to do this." Hunyo said smirking.

Both finally get in to the jet bomber as it takes flight to the Antarctic Circle. On their way to the Antarctic, Jin senses the power of the Pandora's Box knowing that all people in their world would be controlled from its power.

The jet bomber lands in the terminal of Antarctica. The trio gets off the jet and to find out that the terminal was abandoned. Jin orders his men to evacuate as the jet bomber takes flight leaving them.

"So this is the terminal and it's abandoned." Xiaoyu cried.

"It must be Pandora." Jin said seriously. "The power of the box was responsible for all this damage."

"We better move, the box must be outside of the city. We need to get there and fast." Hunyo said as he hurried to get inside the terminal as both followed them.

When they arrived in the city, they saw that it was all destroyed. They didn't expect it was starting to happen after the box was crash landed.

"It's awful... this city is all been ruined."

"Thank goodness, that my annoying cousin of mine wouldn't get there at this time." Jin said remembering about his cousin Asuka. "It seems like a lot of people got killed here."

"Mr. Panganiban, are you okay?" Xiaoyu asked worried and Hunyo feels the cold temperature in Antartica due to the power of Pandora's Box.

"I can feel the cold. Antarctica is the coldest place in the country." Hunyo said as he looked around the city. "There's no falling snow in the sky and a blizzard. Probably, because of the box that crash landed here."

"We have to hurry." Jin said as the trio hurried to where the box has been crash landed until its nightfall.

They made it outside the city and they realize someone is responsible in killing many people inside the city.

"It seems like someone must be responsible on killing innocent people." Hunyo said seriously.

"It's not Bison or the other two." Jin said while he's thinking.

"Who might that be?" Xiaoyu nodded as they heard a voice.

"We finally meet again, Jin."

"Ryu...?" Jin responded as the trio finally faces Ryu and his friends.

"Jin, you finally made it in time." Ryu said calmly.

"Guess that you three made in the Antarctic." Ken said smirking. "I guess that we can fight whoever gets the box first."

"Ryu, I never expect that you and I we fight face to face." Jin said in a deep voice. "You are also searching for the box."

"Hunyo." Brian arrives to see Hunyo again as he calmly said. "Sorry to keep you waiting. I want to see how these two can fight against Ryu and Ken."

"I hate to admit, it's just like we've been fought in after 15 years." Hunyo smirked.

"Okay guys... time to show what we made of." Ken said as both he and Ryu prepare to fight Jin.

"Xiao, are you ready?" Jin asked.

"Of course, Jin... Time to show what we made of too, we don't have much time." Xiaoyu answered as both ready to fight.

"Jin, I can't wait to see how strong you are now." Ryu said seriously.

"We'll see about that, Ryu. Whoever gets the box then it's the winner." Jin said and they begin to fight for the Pandora's Box.
