Chapter 1: The Black Out

Jin and the other protagonists in different games are travelling through the game world station via train. it zooms into a wire that connects to the adapter of many switches. They finally arrived at Game World Station where all characters are travelling to their respective games. Jin was still upset after Kanbei gave him a mission to restrain his temper. Until he heard about the advices in which the game will be unplugged if the arcade game if it's damage or malfunction would end up dead or characters won't coming back to their respective games.

I should be careful... Once it unplugged we would be homeless...?

Therefore, he saw a kid and a little monkey were homeless after their game was unplugged. Jin felt sad to see them as he give him a money to him.

"There you go, kid."

"Thank you so much..."

"Don't waste it too much, kid. You need it..." Jin said calmly as he continues to leave. Until one of the station conductors tried to check on him and proceed.

Back at his office, Jin was resting his fist on his chin having cross-legged while sitting. His bodyguard, Nina Williams appeared to comfort him in any way.

"You look very upset, Jin... You have a problem?"

"No, Nina... It's nothing. I'm only just bored after all this..." Jin answered sadly and Nina tries to encourage him.

"Jin... we're going to celebrate with the rest of us in the 10th anniversary of this game we came in. I'm sure everyone will be happy."

"It's okay if I'm here in the anniversary... I fear once it replace with the new one. We would be end up homeless." Jin said worried and Nina tells him.

"Don't be alarmed, Jin... We're not going to be homeless in this way. The new game is the same as us."

That night, everyone celebrates the 10th anniversary of their own game where it was held in the Mishima Zaibatsu Banquet. Nina was confronted by her sister Anna who wears a red revealing gown.

"Nina... I was surprised that this game reaches the 10th anniversary."

"Anna... you surely think you wanted to beat me so easily once the new game was released."

"Oooh... teaming up with you will be as unlikely alliances..." Anna said in a snooty manner.

Setsuna Saizuki and Midori Himeno are the guests for the 10th anniversary where both befriends with Asuka Kazama.

"Wow... really, you are the substitute teacher in the Fuin Ancient Martial Arts Dojo. Just like how my dad taught me this style." Asuka said excitedly and Midori was amused.

"Really... Kazama-Style Traditional Martial Arts is a very unique style. I love if you and I we clash with our moves."

"Yuki... I want to learn with her too." Setsuna smiled happily.

Xiaoyu was still in search for Jin during the anniversary where she was acquainted by Hwoarang, his rival. Nina begins to check her boss if he is present in the anniversary. When she arrives at his office, all it's left was his black trenchcoat.

Jin... don't leave us like this...?

Nina then shakes her head to see that her boss instantly left the game without telling them.

At the Tappers, Jin is seen in a black dress shirt, pants and shoes while sipping a root beer.

"You look pretty troubled, young man."

"Yeah... I'm pretty depressed because of my stupid mission. Being a neutral character is really complicating." Jin said sadly.

"Hehe... don't say such things, young man. Everyone is doing their job. Even bad guys does the same thing."

Jin then saw both Ryu and Ken are also drinking rootbeer in the other side of the table while both were talking about their fights in the game.

"Uh... who are those two?" Jin calmly asked. "I'm quite familiar about them?"

"That's Ryu and Ken, young man. Usually these two are always here to have a break since the arcade is closed." The rootbeer tapper said while cleaning up the mug. Jin then recognizes they're from the Street Fighter game which is the first game before their game was released a long time ago.

"If only I could be someone like Ryu who is always fighting in the tournament and to protect his friends." Jin said comparing to Ryu and himself. "I'm just indifferent to others. Although I only focus on myself..."

When Jin said this words, Ryu and Ken overhear the conversation with the rootbeer tapper.

"Ryu, did you hear that? Looks like this young lad right here seem to have a little problem." Ken said and Ryu replies.

"Hold on, Ken... Maybe I should talk to him. He seems to have a potential on talking about me."

Ryu then goes to where Jin is talking to the rootbeer tappers. Jin noticed Ryu is in the other side of the seat.

"What do you want?"

"You look depressed for a moment you were talking with the rootbeer tapper." Ryu said calmly.

"It's not of your concern. It's my problem not yours." Jin replies coldly to Ryu.

"You surely have a grumpy attitude to say these things. It seems that you're a neutral character, aren't you."

"What...? You knew...?"

"Sorry that I brought up about you being a neutral character. You seem to have good left within you." Ryu said apologizing and he finally introduces to him. "I'm Ryu... it's a pleasure to meet you. And you are...?"

"Jin Kazama... literally from the Tekken game. It's my 10th anniversary."

"Congratulations... my game is been many years by now." Ryu said happily.

After the conversation, both decided to parted ways in the Game World Station.

"So you're going back, aren't you?" Ryu said calmly to him.

"Yeah... I have a anniversary that I need to attend to. It's nice to meet you again." Jin said nicely to him.

"Good luck on your anniversary, Jin. Keep it up..." Ryu said as both finally parted ways to their respective games. Suddenly it becomes black out.
"Ugh... I can't see, what's going on...?"

"Stupid black out...?"

After the black out, the station remains lighted up. Both then decide to parted ways. Jin proceeds to return to his own game. But ends up bumping on the door himself while hurting his nose.

"Owww... that hurts..." Jin said hurting and Ryu comes to his aid.

"Jin, are you okay?"

"Yeah... I'm fine..." Jin answered and he touches the door where he easily enters and to find out that it was sealed. "Impossible, I can easily get through here. There's no way I can't get inside."

Ryu decides to get back to his own game. However, he too can't get in just like Jin. Both ended up trapped.

"Jin... I think I can't back in my own game as well. It looks like we're trapped."

"What...? After all this black out...?" Jin reacted and angrily smashes his left fist on the wall. "If we stuck in this place and never return to our game, we cannot regenerate and we're dead..."

"Jin... don't felt so angry... There's must be a way for us to get us back." Ryu said trying to calm him down. He enters back into the Tappers and he became access in it."Jin... it seems that we can enter other games if the arcade is close. But once everyone plays the game, that would be a problem."

"During that black out, somebody is trying to mess both of us up when we decide to get back to our own game." Jin tries to think who's responsible on putting both trapped in the station. Ryu has an idea.

"Jin, how about you and I will join forces to investigate this mess. Since we're both protagonists in different fighting games, we can work it together."

"But Ryu... you can't be serious about this. My role is different than you do."

"I can feel your potential in fighting, Jin. That's why I decide to find out if you're strong enough to fight your opponents. Let's do this together." Ryu finally shake hands and Jin reluctantly agrees.

"All right, just this once... We have to find that assailant who put us out of this misery."

Both finally shake hands finally teaming up on finding the assailant. Jin noticed the clothes he wears.

"Uh, Ryu... is it okay we go back to the Tappers?"

"What is it?"

"I hate myself if I fight in dress shirts. I feel like everyone using me in the game always wearing this outfit." Jin said in dissapointment.

"Okay, Jin... I agree with you." Ryu easily agreed and both went back to the Tappers. However a sillouette of a silver assassin was watching both of them while keeping both claws in his hand with an evil smile on his face.

Hmph... heroes are nothing more than scumbags... I assure that their game will be unplugged soon enough... Hahahaha...

Both claws in his hands became longer having his arm-crossed knowing that he will something to do with both Jin and Ryu.
