Chapter 1: Meet the Ehrgeiz
At the Game World Station, Jin explores to see other video game characters from different games as he begins his search about the five surviving Ehrgeiz characters.
If Cloud was saying was true? Then, five remaining Ehrgeiz characters are working in the Game World Station. I think I cannot see them because others from other video games are all crowded.
As he explores the whole station, someone manage to hit him with a yo-yo on his head, much to his irritation.
"Oww... who hit that?"
"Oops... Sorry about that?" A girl in a school uniform appears as she spins her yo-yo like a walking dog.
"Wait... aren't you...?" Jin recognizes the girl as one of the surviving Ehrgeiz characters who were recently unplugged as she introduces herself.
"I'm Yoko Kishibojin, everyone's calling me, Yo-Yo Yoko because of bringing my yo-yo on the job."
"I'm Jin Kazama from the Tekken game. You must be one of the surviving Ehrgeiz characters. Sorry for my rudeness... your introduction reminds me of Xiao." Jin said finally introduced to her.
"That look and face... you look like Godhand?" Yoko said pointing out on Jin's face but to her dismay it does not show his hair due to being covered with his hood. "Unfortunately, your head is covered in a hood."
"I do that to conceal my head..." Jin remarked in a smirk. "If someone knocks me down, my hood will knock off and to show my head."
"Really?"
"I do that casually during both fourth and the fifth game. But on the seventh game, I wore a different hoodie."
"By the way, Jin... do you know Akira Kazama? She was very good on fighting and showing her flexibility on her moves." Yoko said smiling as Jin blushes when she heard Akira's name.
"She's from the Project Justice game and she..."
"You think so... don't tell me you had a crush on her?" Yoko smiled excitedly as Jin blushes even more but in a manner of embarrassment.
"Why would think I had a crush on her, Yoko? She and I we're not related and I only just treated her as my own sibling. But I trust her brother because she is his sister."
"..."
"Just change the subject, how many of you living there?" Jin finally asked her freely as Yoko reveals to him.
"Well... Godhand was doing target practice everyday before he sets out to guard here once the game opens. My father, Koji Masuda is exploring in different games but he went missing, Jo likes to interact with other people despite her dislike of humans like us. Inoba went missing after our survival. I was trying to ease my boredom with just my yo-yo but trying my best to look for my..."
When Yoko spoke about this, Jin eventually left which he stops him from leaving.
"Hey, you shouldn't leave like that?"
"I heard of what you say right now, Yoko." Jin said smirking. "So two characters are missing then. I have to go to the Tappers to meet up with Ryu and Ken about this. I must go now."
Jin continues to leave as Yoko was surprised to see him which she notices Jin is in fact had a crush on Akira ever since they met. Meanwhile at the Point Blank 3 game, Kazuya is seen talking to Ken "Godhand" Mishima while having a target practice.
"Damn that kid... I've never seen that he would embarrass me in front of my parents during the 20th anniversary party. He even tried to expose my acts before the time he was born with Jun Kazama." Kazuya said coldly to Jin's actions which Godhand remarks.
"It appears you have a family feud, Kazuya. Well lucky for me, I had no family in particular like you. If I had a son like yours. I would be so kind to him not to kill him in cold blood."
"Don't even try to lecture me? You have no idea about it." Kazuya said raising his brow.
"By the way... do you know how to shoot a gun? I am once a mercernary back when I worked with Red Scorpion." Godhand asked as Kazuya answered.
"Of course I can shoot a gun. But I can interrogate it by gunpoint."
"..."
"I heard about you, I've never seen another Mishima who is playable from another game." Kazuya said knowing of Godhand's appearance as he berates him. "You had my style in Mishima-Style Fighting Karate. But, how can you use my moves without your right fist?"
"Take it easy, you better respect with person's with disability." Godhand said telling him. "I lost my arm during an excavation. Since I became the head of a Mishima Construction Corp I made an arm gun as a replacement."
"Oh come on... you think you could shoot that gun on your arm? It's a one sick joke..." Kazuya said rudely towards Godhand.
"Unlike this Sensui guy who just shot a man in cold blood when one of his personalities switches when being pummeled. But for me... I can blast it in one shot." Godhand said as he demonstrates using his arm gun as it charges with a blue lightning as he shoots it in three shot making a direct hit in every targets. To his surprise however, Kazuya instantly transforms into Devil Kazuya as he shoots a Devil's Beam through most targets as the protagonists of Point Blank 3 watch in horror to see them.
"Hmph... you maybe a Mishima from another game. But for you, you don't have a Devil Gene bloodline like mine. That's what a Mishima blood looks like." Kazuya said smirking in arrogance as Godhand was surprised by his actions.
"Whoa... you are indeed a real Mishima, is it...?"
At the Tappers, Ryu was surprised after knowing that 5 surviving Ehrgeiz characters are living in the Game World Station after being unplugged and homeless.
"I see... it was a lucky start for them to live but once they were killed in a different game. They will never regenerate." Ryu said nicely towards Jin.
"I met a certain Yoko earlier... She's quite strong but hitting me with her yo-yo starts to irritate me." Jin said in disappointment.
"I heard you had fall out happened to your game, Jin. Did you and your father fought again?" Ken said wanted to know what happened as Jin remarks.
"The party is really messed up. But it was my first time to meet my grandmother. She was a nice person except that she has an anger that she never controlled."
"Wow..."
"You know Jin, I'll give you an advice... it's better to respect your own parents. Just like how I did to my own family. Your father maybe too harsh and too strict just because his role as being an evil man. I think his behavior will subside once he found out your putting your life on the risk." Ken said giving him an advice.
"He was like that? I'm sure his attitude won't change." Jin said in regret.
Meanwhile, Yoko saw Akira manages to get out of the Project Justice game in her Seijyun High School uniform and knowing that the arcade will open soon as she tries to stop her from leaving.
"Akira, you shouldn't leave in your game... the arcade will open soon."
"Uh... Forgive me, Yoko... I really wanted to explore other places. I kinda bored staying at my school." Akira replied sadly.
"No, Akira... if you do that... your game will be out of order." Yoko said as Akira became upset by this.
"It's fine without me... I have to go..."
"Wait, Akira..." Yoko tries to stop Akira from running as she enters from another game as she fails to stop her. "Oh no... she had gone from another game..."
"Yoko, you look so terrified..." A girl in wolf form said causing Yoko to scream.
"Waaahh... Oh, it's you Jo...? You're here too..."
Jo eventually reverts back to her human state and to her horror she sees this game before.
"That game she entered it's pretty dangerous..."
"What do you mean, Jo?" Yoko asked.
"That game is the Guilty Gear game. It's the most dangerous game than the BlazBlue game. Anyone who enters there they might unable to make it back in the station." Jo answered in panic.
"Could my estranged father had entered there too?" Yoko said knowing of her father is missing. "I tried to keep looking for him, at the station but he never comes back."
"Yoko, why don't you warn someone about this? If that happens we all know that our game will be unplugged and never regenerate again."
Yoko becomes upset by this as both eventually leave before the arcade opens.
As the arcade opens, we can see everyone are seen playing Tekken 7: Fated Retribution and Street Fighter V. One of the players who is a big fan of Akira and her friends in Seijyun High as it begins to play to face off Batsu and his friends.
"Okay, now I need to face off against Akira and her girl friends..." Batsu smiled in arrogance as Kyosuke corrects him.
"Watch your attitude, Batsu... they already knew that you are Kurow in disguise."
"So the peeps from Taiyo High are here to fight us. What do you say we can kick their butts in just a few seconds." Zaki stated and Yurika notices Akira is missing.
"Uh, Zaki... how do we fight them if Akira is not here?"
"What?! Akira is gone...! Impossible... she should be in the fight...!" Zaki exclaimed loudly.
The player notices Akira is missing as all characters are gone crazy about the incident.
"Uh... sir... this game is busted."
"Oh dear... this game is going cuckoo. Here's your token back." Mr. Gonzalo Jr. said as all the Rival Schools characters noticed their game becomes out of order.
"Oh man! we're out of order!" Batsu said scarily as Daigo notices that Akira just went turbo alone and he orders Edge and Gan to find her.
"Edge, Gan... you have to find Akira. Otherwise, we're all getting homeless."
"Sure, boss..." Edge said as both leave to find Akira and Daigo sees something wrong to his younger sister as he thought.
Akira, what's wrong with you?
