Chapter 2: Individuals meets the Count Dracula

Back at the Tappers, Ryu asks the rootbeer tapper where his best friend, Ken and he replies that he left soon after both he and Jin were parted ways. While Jin went to the lost and found section.

"I see then... he already left after Jin and I parted ways..."

"That's right, He left a note before the time he leaves Tappers." The rootbeer tapper said to him and it shifts to the lost and found section. We can see Jin's CEO clothes were on the floor and in fact he change to his fighting attire. Tieing his black and yellow belt on his black pants with a red flame with orange and yellow tint, taking on his red footpads and fixing his red detachable gauntlets. He is ready to go with Ryu at the time with his primary outfit on the sixth game.

"All right, now let the search begin..."

With that, he went back to the Tappers and to see Ryu and the rootbeer tapper.

"Jin... you look good on that fighting attire and It's very revealing." Ryu complimented as Jin smirks.

"Usually me and my damn father always fight in shirtless when we fight. Unlike you who is wearing the same old karate gi."

"Good gracious... girls are definitely gone crazy to see a bodacious half-naked man, hahaha..." the rootbeer tapper laughs while Jin blushes in embarassment.

"That's how it goes... Xiao would be gone crazy if she sees me more revealing than that."

"Who's Xiao, Jin...? That chinese name reminds me of Chun-Li." Ryu asked and Jin answers while shaking his head.

"It's Ling Xiaoyu, Ryu. She was my long-time friend since high school and she's the only person would stop me from doing those mess I made up in the sixth game."

"We better find the assailant first. He's probably in the lost and found section." Ryu said telling him.

Both arrive at the lost and found section and to find out that it was not here. Soon after both saw Michel and Albert from the two-person shooting game, Vampire Night

"Are you ready Albert? I know for sure someone is going to enjoy this game." Michel said as Albert replies.

"Of course, I'm ready... It's going to be a good fight."

Both then confronted by Jin and Ryu who are asking where they are going while pointing their guns by gunpoint.

"Hold your guns, both of you. We're not your enemies or anything we're just humans..." Ryu pleaded as Jin sighs while shaking his head.

"Actually we have evil entities while we are in human form."

"You two are so strange?"

"I don't know what you two are going to do? Using guns to kills someone?" Ryu said as Albert tells him rudely.

"We are vampire hunters, we are here to kill vampires. Now back off already?"

"Both of you were just like me as hybrids..." Jin commented as both knocks Michel and Albert single handedly with their powerful punches. Both are seen tied in the room as their clothes were stolen from them while shutting the door.

"Jin... I think this clothes looks tight on my arms."

"Relax, Ryu... Is that the first time to wear casual clothing. You should try it soon." Jin said smirking.

"Uh... I know... We don't use guns, don't you..." Ryu said telling him.

"Me either... It's like my damn father use this to gunpoint someone." Jin wondered as they use wigs to pose themselves as Michel and Albert as they went to the game center to play Vampire Night.

When the Gonzalo Arcade Center opens, a lot of kids and adults are going to play arcades much to the amusement of the owner. Two nerdy kids play the Vampire Night where both Jin and Ryu disguises as Michel and Albert when they play.

"Uh... Jin, what are those things. can we deal with them...?" Ryu said while cannot pull the gun trigger.

"It must be their enemies in the game. Careful Ryu... I think they're going to kick our butts." Jin said as both going for a gun fire on the enemies.

The kids were confused on the characters they are playing are simply different. Not knowingly, they can shoot guns but they use their combat moves. When saving Caroline, Jin tries to shoot the mind controller on the two but Ryu shoot the wrong target causing the person he tried to save becomes a vampire as both were cowardly chase by a normal vampire and later both were bumped at the game screen as the game ends in failure.

"Man.. that was a weird game I've ever seen." one of the nerdy boy said as the other replies.

"Yeah... never expect vampire hunters are cowards."

Both watches the Project Justice game where someone plays Akira Kazama in the game against Roy Bromwell. Then they play Tekken 6 arcade game while his other friend plays Street Fighter IV arcade game. He picks Xiaoyu to play whereas his friend plays Ken in Street Fighter IV. When the guy reaches to the mid-boss section he noticed that Jin is not present and he quickly calls the owner.

"Mr. Gonzalo... I think the game is busted."

"Oh my... this game is gone whacked." Mr. Gonzalo said and the other friend of his telling him in which Ken's rival battle with Ryu is also the same.

"Mister... this game is also busted."

"What's going on... It seems that it need repairs on both of them." Mr. Gonzalo said as both arcade games puts on out of order and it zooms to Xiaoyu at Jin's territory which is the Gargoyle Perch.

"Oh my god... the game is out of order." Xiaoyu said shockingly and decides to search for Jin. "I must look for Jin, he has to get back here otherwise were homeless."

Xiaoyu went back to Game World Station until she bumped into Ken who is also searching for Ryu.

"Oww... watch it mister, you're hurting me..." Xiaoyu scowled childishly and Ken replies.

"Sorry, lady... I came to search for Ryu. My game is also out of order."

"Really... how...?" Xiaoyu said shockingly.

"Usually I have a rival fight with Ryu but he's not here. What about you?" Ken said telling her.

"I have to fight Jin in the mid-boss section but he's not here too. I hate if our game goes busted." Xiaoyu cried desperately.

Both then heard both Jin and Ryu declared as glitches in the station who can enter different games as both noticed.

"Oh no... I think they're gone turbo..." Ken said as Xiaoyu tells him.

"I think you and I were a lot in common. Let's find them..."

"By the way... I almost forgot to tell you my name I'm Ken Masters and you are." Ken said while running.

"Ling Xiaoyu... everyone's calling me Xiao and Jin is my friend and crush of course." Xiaoyu said cheerfully while following him.

"Jin, wait a second... Is he the one who's talking to Ryu at the Tappers bar? Oh great... I shouldn't leave my best friend behind. It's my fault." Ken said sadly.

"Don't blame yourself... we'll find them." Xiaoyu said smiling.

Back at the Vampire Night game, Jin and Ryu finally remove their disguises and they arrived at Count Auguste's castle and knowingly that the two are fighting in the night than day.

"It seems that these two hunters we've been beaten earlier are indeed fighting vampires. It looks like they can't survive in the day once they were exposed to sunlight." Ryu said seriously about the vampire hunters they been beaten as Jin tells him.

"Yeah... I guess killing the count dracula would be the one to get their fates. Let's try beat that dracula first."

When they enter, Ryu barely knows of Jin's instincts in which he can turn into an inhuman version of himself. Therefore, they confronted Count Auguste.

"I'm impressed you made it so far... You humans will be gone and I'm immortal..."

"You're quite arrogant to say that... vampiric human. How about you and I will come face to face...?" Jin said challenging Count Auguste in a fight much to Ryu's disdain.

"Ugh... Jin don't be so arrogant? You don't know how strong this man is?"

"Hmph... very well I think you might show that I'm a vampire!" Count Auguste said as he transforms into a demonic vampire with white demonic wings and Jin reminds this as a combined devil form of his father and his.

"Don't remind me with your transformation. It's just like my curse blood." Jin said angrily to the demonic vampire as Count Auguste summoning bats to attack both of them while flying.

Ryu manages to destroy the bats with his Hadoken in which the bats he summoned disintegrates. Count Auguste was surprised as he charges both of them with a dimensional circles. Both avoids this attack and Ryu shoots him using the Shakunetsu Hadoken at Count Auguste directly hit him on his weak point.

"Ugh... Impossible by body is burning." Count Auguste was hurting in pain while his body is burning in flames as he attacks both in desperation. Jin then knocks him with his Avenger his most powerful attack and Ryu shoots Metsu Hadoken on the vampire as it sends him to the sun, disintegrates him.

"Looks like this is the last of him."

"Yeah... I think we better go back." Ryu said as Jin agrees.

When they get back at the Game World Station, both realize they became fugitives or as glitches in different games.

"Jin... we have a problem here."

"What is it?" Jin asked him in a nod.

"I think we can't go back here now. We're now glitches..." Ryu said sadly and Jin became frustrated to see this.

"Damn it... If wasn't for that black out. We can't go back to our game we came from... I'm going to kill that person who wanted to sabotage us...!"

"Calm down, Jin... I think we have to avoid detection. I'm sure these conductors are always checking every characters like us." Ryu said and Jin made a plan.

"I have a plan... since we cannot get into our respective games we came in. We can only access different games. If both of us glitches how come we never glitched?"

"Hmmm... I guess you're right."

Both then run quickly to avoid detection as both went to Project Justice another fighting game like in Ryu's game. Xiaoyu and Ken easily noticed both of them went to the other game.

"Mr. Masters, did you see them?" Xiaoyu asked and he replies.

"Yeah... I saw them one bit. I think they went to the other game."

"We got to warn them and fast. Otherwise it's going to be unplugged in the morning." Xiaoyu said worried.

"Come on, Xiaoyu... let's follow them." Ken said as both went to Project Justice.

Trivia:

*Ryu barely noticing Jin's instincts as a angel-devil hybrid as reference to one of my fics which is Powers and Fists: Operation Time Zone.

*Jin's quick thinking remains the same in both Tekken Tag Tournament 2 and Street Fighter X Tekken. His arrogance refers to his antagonist behavior in Tekken 6.

*In the end of Vampire Night game, Michel and Albert disintegrates after defeating Count Auguste when they are expose to sunlight. Jin refers the lead characters as hybrids while Ryu noticed their fate of being expose to sunlight as their sacrifice after beating them and disguises as them.

*Both shows their bad sense of humor after they been cowardly escaped from a vampire while in the Vampire Night game.

*Jin mentions Xiaoyu is gone crazy over him when he wears much more revealing is a reference to him in-game wearing Fundoushi in Tekken Tag Tournament 2.

A/N: It seems that Jin and Ryu are taking refuge at the Project Justice game. This next chapter where Batsu Ichimonji and a few characters of Rival Schools made their appearance. Good luck...
