Here is the twentieth chapter of The Strangest Things: Purging of Evil.

Chapter 20: Queen of Coffee: Azucena Ortiz

"Lars and I, we made an alliance called Operation Lightning in order to stop Kazuya. When the UN had gathered in New York City to make a global alliance in order to make sanctions against G Corporation, Kazuya had already arrived to confront them and this is how he started a bloody carnage. Killing many people to show off his devil powers." Jin said explaining the whole incident happened in New York. "We're already here at the same time where Lars flies with his rebel group by air craft when he had already commenced the Operation Lightning while in my case since I was in their surveillance, I rode the motorcycle by land to trail Kazuya's whereabouts and he knows that I can do it."

"Looks to me that both of you are trying to hunt Mr. Mishima to get rid of him." Rhima said noticing their plan and Jin sighs.

"Unlike you, Rhima-san... you loved Mr. Panganiban dearly as your real father. But for me, I never acknowledged Mishima Kazuya as my father."

"But how did you found Mr. Mishima, Jin? What did you do?" Rhima said wanting to know more from him personality and Jin remembers how he had found him.

"I know it's gonna blow off your mind, Rhima-san if I tell you this. When I found Kazuya at the helicopter by looking up, I knew he was present from the inside. That gives me an idea by making a reverse and going overtake by climbing through the roof of the police cars and through the entire building so that I can threw my motorcycle I was riding on to crash the helicopter down as long as I landed in the safe ground."

"You can actually do that extreme stunt just like that and your logic looks very insane." Rhima said shockingly over Jin's story.

"I told you it's gonna blow off your mind. In fact, that Kazuya had survived the helicopter crash that I made which led both of us to have a massive brawl." Jin said in a serious tone as the scene changes where both father and son finally face to face since Kazuya had survived the helicopter crash he had made.

Flashback:

As flames within the helicopter crash remained, Kazuya still survives as he evilly laughs to his own son who is against him and he noted that he was alive all this time while he stated.

"So you're alive all along. The monster who fanned the flames of war across the world. What do you want with me?"

Jin angrily grits his teeth upon seeing his father within their confrontation as he states.

"Mishima...Kazuya! Your very existence brings turmoil to the world!"

"What a bunch of bull. You're the one who started this war." Kazuya said knowing of Jin being the destroyer of the world who caused the global war when he was the head of the Zaibatsu at the time as Jin continues to bark his father coldly.

"This is all to expunge the devil's blood."

"You would deny even yourself?" Kazuya personally confronts his son Jin and calls him a fool to his own cause. "You're a fool. Jin Kazama."

"Silence!" Jin angrily clenches his fist and both men eventually fought.

Flashback over:

"Did you ever beat your father, Jin?" Rhima asked him personally as Jin looked at his right fist and he answers in a sigh.

"I overpowered him twice. One is where a missile sent by him to distract us long enough. But I know his attempts to ambush me by knocking me in the face with his punches and I kicked him down until I knock the crap out of him with my roundhouse kick. And two, I already told you about how I awakened Azazel by starting the global war to filled with negative energy in its physical form and Kazuya knew of what I've done."

Another flashback occured when Jin is about to defeat his father Kazuya and Kazuya had known about the global war he had started.

Flashback:

"Do you even realize the countless lives you've sacrificed?"

"Yeah..." Jin immediately executed his Rage Art using his Polar Demon Gouge and finally repenting all of his sins he had previously done by making a global war. "I must atone for my sins! The devil's blood runs through my veins... I shall destroy you!"

After using this, Kazuya is able to survive and he evilly laughs over his execution of the move.

"How ludicrous. Come now, bring out your devil."

"I'll kill you and put an end to all of this!" Jin readied his stance to battle his father Kazuya while unleashing his devil powers and Kazuya also did the same.

Flashback over:

"Our deadly fight continued since he had wanted to see my devil powers and how I'm able to controlled it from the inside."

"But your Rage Art had almost killed me back then when I was in my male disguise. But how did Mr. Mishima had survived from that."

"I didn't realized from him that he was holding back during the fight and I always pushed to my own limits. I knew he was smart enough to know how to hold back on his opponents." Jin said sadly since he easily know how Kazuya is able to hold back during the fight and soon tells her. "I will tell you more of this, Rhima-san. So that you will understand it better."

Rhima finally realizes how their fight became more chaotic than before and Jin finally ask her personally.

"When did you try to run away from me? After all I found you here when I tried to get through the open window at the back. Is it because of that other Korean guy like Hwoarang?"

"You mean Kyun-bin... He was frequently calling me to see if I'm okay." Rhima answered confirming about Kyun-bin's call on her until she stands up in upset. "I want to tell Kyun-bin the truth, Jin. I deceived him to think I went to travel around the globe for my educational teachings. But in truth, me and Uncle Roddy just sent here in your world to finish my mission to restore the broken link between our worlds due to my dad's asking and I couldn't say no to him."

"You better tell him the truth, Rhima-san. I feel sorry for you." Jin said showing his sentimental side to her. "I should be the one to apologize for the disturbance I made to you in the real world."

Jin finally allows Rhima to call Kyun-bin to inform him about the truth by calling with her personal cellphone as it was received by Kyun-bin.

"Ah, Rhima... you called just in time."

"Kyun-bin... I just wanted to say sorry to you." Rhima said trying to hold back her tears while pretending to be calm.

"What do you mean, sorry? Is something wrong?"

"About our food date at Wyndell's... I deceived you to think I was travelling abroad. The truth is, I was asked by my dad to time travel in the World of Tekken to restore the broken link between both of our worlds." Rhima said finally tells Kyun-bin the truth.

"World of Tekken? You mean... you were inside of their game?"

"Uhhh... yeah... it is..."

"That was surreal... if you were in their game and that means you will know more about all of the Tekken characters and their stories in there. Let me remind you, Rhima. I'm also a Tekken fan and since you were an E-Gamer." Kyun-bin said upon learning the truth.

"How did you know I was an E-Gamer?" Rhima questions Kyun-bin which he replied calmly.

"Krelian told me everything and he has been watching you participate in the E-Sports Tournaments and you tried representing the Philippine."

"..."

"Don't feel sad, Rhima... I understand that you were so upset about this. Krelian and I will rooting for you to comeback and play. I've seen you played as Jin Kazama in the game and you really nailed everyone in the tournament unlike others who played as him." Kyun-bin smiled while giving her some encouragement.

"I think I'll try to return... but for now I got lots of things that I must do here, Kyun-bin. Bye..." Rhima said calmly and soon hang up. Jin became very curious over her actions.

"How was it?"

"They really wanted me to comeback and play the game you came in. I just quit on my group because they think I'm delusional and crazy." Rhima sighed in disappointment and Jin became sarcastic over her behavior and he finally stands up.

"Speaking of delusional, Rhima-san... you'd even run away from me or anyone else at my world to think we were spoiling the game. Here in my world, this game we came in is for real."

"..."

"You maybe smart enough to know more about me or my fighting moves. I had new ones since I'm able to control my devil powers. I think it's about time that I will show this to you but not here inside." Jin said who finally decided to show off his new arsenal of moves since he had been using this to rescue her previously and soon leaves the cabin as Rhima watched him, leading her to follow him.

After cleaning all of the dirt and stains, both Jin and Rhima are walking around the coffee fields and Rhima smell the aroma of the coffee.

"This is weird... there's no coffee plantation around in Italy. I've never go to Europe in my world." Rhima states about the coffee fields and Jin also admits of not going to Europe like her.

"I never tried going to Europe too, Rhima. I only travelled to South America like in Egypt."

Suddenly, a metallic Jack appears and attempting to hit them with a powerful laser cannon causing Jin to tackle her to safety. Jin noticed this Jack is different than Jack-7 and Rhima noticed it was a new Jack and it was sent by Kazuya to recapture her.

"This must be an eighth Jack or it's Jack-8."

"Don't get amused over that pile of junk, Rhima. That thing wants you." Jin said angrily scolds Rhima not to amused on Jack-8's appearance.

Jack-8 attempts to execute its Rage Art, Terraforming Cannon within its powerful laser cannon. However, Rhima blocks the laser using her right hand with telekinesis as her eyes changed from brown to blue, much to Jin's surprise. Rhima quickly counters by deflecting the laser back to him by knocking the laser cannon he had carried, allowing Jin to knock it with a forward-stepping side kick using his Battery Heel. Just Jack-8 gets up and attempting to fight them both, a Peruvian woman arrives in the scene and eventually incapacitates by her breaking throws using her legs and a takedown. Rhima watches how she beats Jack-8 down. Without warning, Jin unleashes his Heat and immediately defeats Jack-8 with one Heat Smash using his Hellfire Darkside Slayer. He soon scolds her not to use her power knowing it's gonna make her faint.

"You shouldn't use that."

"I'm not gonna argue with that, Jin. Claudio had taught me how to control it and I'm no longer collapsing like before. He already knew my problems." Rhima shrugged off since she is now able to control of powers with Claudio's teachings. Jin shakes his head in dismay when he realizes what Claudio had done it to her until the Peruvian woman was cursing over her coffee crops were ruined during a fight while speaking in her Spanish language.

"She sounded like Miguel who spoke like this." Jin wondered about her way of speaking and Rhima soon faces the Peruvian woman and asking her.

"Are you speaking Chavacano? Or maybe Spanish or Columbian?"

The Peruvian woman looked to see Rhima's appearance and was mistook her as a Peruvian like her.

"Oh my... you're a Peruvian too. What a surprise!?"

"Uhh, I'm not a Peruvian like you, honestly..." Rhima corrects the Peruvian woman and soon reveals her nationality. "I'm a Filipino from the Philippines."

The Peruvian woman stopped and soon apologizes for the mistake and finally introduced herself.

"I'm so sorry... because of your features you look like a Peruvian like me and you're from a different country. My name is Azucena Milagros Ortiz Castillo. And you were..."

"I'm Rhima Panganiban... Your full name is very long but both Ortiz and Castillo are very common surname in my place." Rhima said pointing out of both of Azucena's surnames and noticing her actions. "You have a lot of full of energy and do you own all of those coffee crops?"

"To tell you the truth, I'm the Coffee Queen and I really enjoy coffee." Azucena said pointing out of her as a Queen of Coffee.

They soon went to the summer cabin where both are served a cup of Peruvian coffee and Rhima is known to drink coffee and Jin noticed her.

"Rhima-san... you're drinking black coffee now. I thought you're not drinking it those."

"I'm no longer teaching elementary students now, Jin. I'm now teaching eleventh graders in the UST because of the K-12 basic program. I was stressful because a lot of students are much more trouble than elementary school kids that I've teach."

"It was the same as in Mishima Polytechnic." Jin remarked about the same program as in Rhima's world and soon tells her. "Rhima, we have to contact your uncle. Our phone with Lars didn't work here because it was still in Claudio's territory despite we are already out of his headquarters."

Rhima sees that she can use her real personal cellphone and noticed that her battery is about to low and noticed her things are still in the rebel base following their escape from Nina's group as Azucena arrives with some Peruvian food for them to eat.

"The coffee plantation you had walked on and I let you stay at my summer cabin, it was my very first branch here in Italy. In my home country in Peru... our coffee within my family's farm is the best coffee in town. Because of my popularity and I entered mixed martial arts and I won, it was given a lot of recognition of my business."

"When you were promoting coffee is like other people are promoting Nescafe commercials in all over countries." Rhima said shrugging her actions and soon guesses her fighting moves. "Honestly, your moves maybe from MMA, it was based on one Peruvian martial art."

"!"

"Speaking of martial arts... I need a charger because my batteries are getting low."

Azucena looked at her phone and she has the same phone as hers and tells her.

"You were so lucky, I can charge your phone. Your phone is the same as mine. You can do with your boyfriend at the coffee fields. But not to ruin it. I tried so hard to make plantations for my family farm business. Can I borrow your phone?"

"Sure."

As Azucena borrows her phone and leave to charge her phone, both Jin and Rhima were surprised because of her remarks since both got separated in six months.

At the coffee fields, both are seen wearing house clothes at night since they decided to stay at Azucena's summer cabin and Rhima blushes to see him just wearing both a loose white tank top and red shorts.

"You haven't changed even you don't even show it to Xiaoyu looking like that."

"You're still petty, Rhima-san..." Jin remarked and soon tells her. "And enough of your remarks. I will now show you my new moves. We already told by that coffee lady not to ruin her plantation."

"..."

"And thanks for covering me up for this." Jin smiled thankfully for covering him since he was the one who defeated Jack-8 and messes her plantation.

"I've seen your new moves when you rescued me from those soldiers while at the same time we had fought the soldiers in order for us to escape." Rhima said knowing about his new moves and Jin finally reveals to her the names of the new moves he had normally executed.

"I think you had seen this." Jin finally unleashed his Heat state and executing his Heat Smash move, Hellfire Trespass Slayer and he reveals it. "This move is called the Hellfire Trespass Slayer, it was one of my Heat Smashes. And you also remarked me for being a gay person if I grunt like that."

"It disappeared where you executed that move." Rhima said surprisingly over his new moves and Jin unleashes his Heat state yet again, and this time executing another Heat Smash move named Hellfire Darkside Slayer and Jin tells her.

"This is where I kicked that piece of junk earlier. But the forward-stepping side kick that I pull off on the last move is named Battery Heel."

"Does that mean your other old moves are still present? But what about the Spine Cracker and the other moves."

"It was changed, Rhima-san... My Spine Striker had already mixed up with my Kazama Style Turning Leg Strike which is now known as Kazama Style Leg Strike Flurry." Jin answered and it reveals his moves had many changes. "Other moves involving on my second Mental Alertness, derived from my devil powers, you wanna see?"

Rhima nods in agreement and Jin finally unveils his other new moves by taking his second Mental Alertness, executing both his Brimstone Bite and Black Wing Rondo where he normally somersaults in a form of a demonic claw. Azucena sees them and amuses to see that Jin is also a fighter as she thought.

He's a fighter like me. I want to test my MMA skills for him.
