Chapter 40: The Title of Iron Fist Tournament
(message was at 9th January 2014)
Hello readers and fans of my fanfics. Wow it's been little over a year and now I'm on my 40th chapter, I appreciate you being fans of mine, I appreciate having 32 positive and constructive reviews (including Toshiro and Hater of None for their regular reviews as well as to GhostDominion6 your review was wonderful, kind it was even inspirational to me), over 6000 views and having 10 favourites as well as 12 followers, thank you so much.
To anyone who likes my story and is actually thinking of writing a fanfic themselves, in my opinion I say do it. Even if you get negative reviews I still say do it because I'm sure some people will like what you have to say and I hope that with how my fanfic has gone by being myself: by writing for fun, not for the sake of getting lots of fans or for trying to show off how flawless my literacy skills are (because I know I'm not the best in literacy), I can encourage new writers to do the same and those that already write but don't feel as though they get much support from other people, just keep writing, keep writing what you believe because I know some people will appreciate it because I know people appreciate my story and I thank you people for that. There will be someone out there that likes what you have written.
I believe that writing fanfics should be for fun and the stories should be written because it's what the author believes in, not for the sake of getting a million fans or selling out for fame. Far too many things in life show people selling out and in my opinion I don't believe in it.
I hope you enjoy chapter 40 as much as I have writing it.
Upon arriving in the massive grand futuristic multi-story car park via going down the lift, we notice a rather grand unique car right in front of us. The car looks like a real classic, goes well with the attire of the CPUs and Candidates, and of the occasion. It is then that I notice that the car looks ever so distinctive. I have seen this vehicle before, and it is now upon thinking about it that I remember where I saw the car from. It's the luxury car from the movie The League of Extraordinary Gentleman, though I do notice that there are a few differences. The car is completely in black with sparkles completely covering the car paint making it very shiny, and is a very long car like a limousine, and it has 7 doors, with 3 rows of seats that are big enough for 3 people per row.
There are also decorations made of silver, around the headlights and on the grill resembling Noire showing off her beauty, in her HDD Form while holding a mirror which acts as headlights, and has patterns of opulent quill feathers surrounding it completely. Along with this, there are decorations on the car door handles, and nearby the first door on each side in which it appears to be a coat of arms with the Lastation logo on it that's surrounded by peacock feathers, though interestingly enough, the ones on the car handles are small whereas the ones nearby the first door are bigger and stick out like a large goblet. Other distinctive features are how the car has 6 wheels as well as how large the bonnet is which has 3 long bars on top, one in the middle of the bonnet and two on each of the edge of the bonnet. It looks ever so nice and I remember how awesome the engine noise is.
By this car are what I remember to be a few Morgan Aerosports which has a similar style to the big 6 wheeled car with the long big bonnet, small boot and the style of the car exterior along with the big grill in front. Some of them are in black while others are in white, no doubt to go with the theme along with the colour schemes of the CPUs. I notice how brand new the cars all look, as well as how the cars look like it's from the olden days though when exactly I am unsure, yet at the same time it looks like they've been modernised, no doubt they have and have modern comforts and modern specifications. I also find the headlights to be interesting as they appear cross eyed, but I like the look nonetheless. They look stylish and classy, and are worthy of the CPU's in their outfits.
Before we get in, in which we are very excited to do so, we all take a good look at the cars with much amazement due to the look, how new they are and how many of them there are that will take us to Violet Industries which is where Lee Chaolan lives.
"Wow, look at this car, it's really big and grand and stylish. You really have nice things Noire." Ram says in awe, as her mouth expresses this emotion as does her body language.
"The car is very cool." Rom adds expressing the same body language.
"Thank you, I'm pleased you like the exterior I'll show you the interior." Noire giggles while speaking with much pride in her voice as well as flirting towards me.
We then get in the really large car, while Noire gets in the driver's seat in a playful manner flirting a lot with me. As I enter the vehicle, I notice how spectacular the interior looks. The walls are in a black marble with violet lighting, and the interior is very spacious full of black comfortable seats that can recline and massage. There is also a table with wine glasses and a couple of champagne bottles, which I believe to be very expensive. There are also a couple of TVs on each side of the interior, so everyone can watch TV and is a decent size. Even the carpet is soft and comfortable, and has the logo of Lastation on it. I then find a place to sit and I find that I have plenty of room, and I just sit there relaxed and comfortable just as everyone else does, I notice how amazed they all look as well as how everyone's jaws are dropped with absolute amazement.
Noire then turns to face us as we sit down, and make ourselves really comfortable, smiling a lot in a friendly manner.
"You alright back there everyone?" Noire asks us in a friendly manner, while flirting towards me. I notice how she has put on some sunglasses which really suit her and are appropriate for the era.
"Oh yes. This car is very comfortable, can it go very quick?" Blanc asks in a casual friendly tone.
"Oh yes, it even produces a wonderful tune." Noire replies with pride and excitement in her voice.
She then turns around and switches the engine on. The engine then growls loudly, the sound is low and distinctive as the noise echoes in the multi-story car park producing a wonderful effect. I have to say that it's such a beautiful noise. The other drivers then switch the other cars on too, and their engines roar with Noire's car. I enjoy the sounds of the vehicles very much as well as being inside the car park, as it brings back memories from when I played Driver, having fun driving in multi-story car parks and doing challenges.
I also love the smell of the petrol here as well and it's great to be able to smell it again; I notice how everyone likes the smell too. For me the smell reminds me of technology, the modern day, as it's not until the modern day that petrol is used as a fuel for motorised transportation. It's not long before Noire then races around the multi-story car park as quickly as possible while skidding, as we go down floor by floor, the tyres screeching as they go around corner after corner. In fact we end up racing with Noire in the lead. And I sense the Lastation goddess enjoying this as she's doing her best to concentrate.
Ah Noire, always having fun, never got this in Neptunia, and never got it at all. I don't mind but once again with every pleasant experience no doubt due to the physics of this world, it feels like hours, as we race around the multi-story car park going down floor by floor and around corner by corner, where it's all fast though we manage to take in the sights of things like pillars, signs along with lights that bring a nice effect to the multi-story car park. I enjoy this, I really do, hearing the noise, seeing the interior of the car park as well as smelling the petrol. There are a few different cars parked, but there's no one else there making it ideal for us to race. I notice the thrilled looks on all our faces as we drive around, it's so much fun to be doing this, and it's so cool just like Noire. I'll never forget how talented of a driver she truly is, and how much she likes to drive quickly whenever she has the chance.
Eventually we leave the fun exciting multi-story car park, and it's then I notice its night time, we must have spent a long time cosplaying then. Time well spent. The capital city at night time is ever so well lit up, and provides a lovely effect as though it's day time on the ground. I can see lots of various lights forming pictures of different PlayStation consoles, along with characters from them. I'll never ever forget how this magnificent metropolis looks so beautiful day or night. We drive through various streets that are big and have nice features on them like water gardens in the middle, or passageways to the underground metro, or even tunnels along with fountains and canals. We even see water slides and theme park rides along with monorails and the beautiful skyscrapers of different extravagant designs that are well lit up at night.
Amazingly, although I'm not surprised, there's little traffic as we go past through the skyscrapers of immense quality and quantity that are ever so well lit up and full of different features depending on the skyscraper like roof gardens, roof swimming pools, balconies with gardens, balconies that are big, balconies that are infinity pools, bridges. Then there is the fact that they show different advertisements of Lastation products that are ever so desirable, on the well-designed aesthetically pleasing skyscrapers. After getting another lovely view of PS3 City full of all the features with this time being at night, which adds a different but equally pleasing effect to the surroundings, we then go through a tunnel that is long and lit up in a nice exciting way, that's fit for driving through.
Like she did before, we drive on the roof of the tunnel for various other cars to see and marvel in the tunnel. In fact our fellow escorts do the same and honk their horns in celebration which the people appreciate. Also like before, Noire leans out waving and smiling to the people down there, both from Lastation and Lowee, while honking her horn, and we then lean out and wave and smile with her. It's such a nice and wonderful, exciting feeling. I feel so much adrenaline along with wind blowing as we drive quickly, and I'm not even driving. It's so awesome how we're doing this again in exactly the same way, this never gets old.
I couldn't help but notice how a few of the cars belonging to the great citizens of this city then attempt to follow Noire, as we head to Violet Industries. I've no doubt they do this in admiration and eager to make the most of seeing us as much as possible and curious to know where we are, in which we don't mind since we're heading to an event to honour a genius and a hero. Meanwhile the rest of them just wave back and cheer with much enthusiasm, honking their horns with pleasure.
Today will be a day to truly remember as it's been an absolute joy from the beginning up to this point, and this enjoyment that I have of today, this exhilarating experience has not finished yet, not by a long shot. I have no doubt that the events and activities to come will be just as exciting, interesting and unique, especially as I'll be meeting characters from a series that I've enjoyed very much. I think about the events that have already happened that were in many ways magical and fantastic that was extremely enjoyable: the cosplays that are magnificent, opulent and lavish and sophisticated and appropriate that showed off my CPU's beauty, to see the reunion, the renewal of the alliance between my favourite CPUs whom I admire and adore, and being driven around right now super quickly by the amazing talented driver that is Noire.
While it's not specifically for me, I feel as though these events are for me due to what I really like, and how much of a joyous buzz I got when they all happened one after another, and yet more is to come. After what feels like a long time, though it's probably actually a relatively short while, Miss Lastation gets back on the road, and heads through an exit in the tunnel which requires her to drift a fair amount, which is exciting for us to experience.
When we exit we then see more skyscrapers that are ever so aesthetically pleasing and full of nice features like massive waterfalls that are not just coloured in violet but in different shades such that depending on where the water is it's at a different colours, and it's done in such a way that the waterfall always shows a V in one shade of violet while the rest of it is a different shade which is easily distinguishable. The buildings are shaped in an upside down isosceles trapezium, an extremely tall one which in a way resembles the letter V. There's also video footage of promotions of different robots called Combot, and I notice how these buildings have the name Violet Industries on them.
The skyscrapers look ever so magnificent and spectacular, and I notice how there's plenty of trees of different kinds, along with plants and shrubs, and huge fountains near it, with Lastation artwork on it that looks ever so nice. There are also sprinklers in which they don't just sprout different colours of water, but the way they sprinkle water is impressive as they look like the letter V. The complex is ever so unbelievably massive and futuristic that's for certain, not to mention grand and elegant, even classy. After passing these lovely breath taking buildings, we then drive into one skyscraper, which is actually the multi-story car park at the bottom of the skyscraper, which looks big from where we are.
In fact I can't help but notice how every skyscraper appears to have a multi-story car park of a large significant size, just like with Noire's amazing magnificent mansion. Not only this but this building looks even more grand and elegant and classy and is full of violet lights, video advertisements and water falls, which flows to the sides of the entrances to the multi-story car park, and the colours on it provide the logo of Violet Industries which is most impressive. Considering the architecture of the skyscraper, and the design and features of it that the violet lights show, amongst the waterfalls from at the top of the building, my gut tells me that there must be much culture inside to marvel at.
As we enter the multi-story car park, I notice that we slow down being as Noire has won the race from start to finish. I then look around in the multi-story car park and notice that it's exactly like Noire's, grand and exciting, only instead of black lighting there is violet lighting and promotion of Violet industries products. We find somewhere to park on the ground floor, which proves no problem at all for us. Noire then stops the car and turns around to speak to us with a smile on her face.
"Did you enjoy the ride guys?" Noire asks with much pride in her voice and in an attractive manner.
"That was amazing; you're such an awesome driver." Ram speaks with joy and with a huge smile."
"It was a fun ride. Especially being upside down." Rom agrees nodding with excitement.
"Yeah your talents are endless, your driving is flawless." I add smiling, my voice expresses much amazement.
"Uh huh, I've never done that before, the noise of this car reminds me of my own vehicle." Blanc nods in agreement, and smiling as well.
Noire then laughs for quite a while in a friendly manner, and thanks us for the compliments, it was a fun ride definitely, it always is with her, and it's great how she wears a different attractive outfit for this. After which we then get out of the car with excitement in our minds, and head up to the lift where Lee Chaolan will be waiting for us.
I find the lift to be very grand with its violet marble walls and comfortable carpet, it's quick as well as it doesn't take long at all to reach its destination. When the lift opens we enter into what looks like a very grand hall. The hall is very large and elegant full of chandeliers, paintings of Lee Chaolan, along with Noire and Uni, and violet curtains placed on walls, with the Violet Industries logos on them. The room appears to be made of marble and is full of various statues of Lady Black Heart. There are also a couple of amusing statues of Heihachi, in what I call his white diaper which I remember seeing in Tekken 4 posing and trying to look tough and strong. There are also lots of fountains near the walls, only they appear to flow with champagne instead of water.
On the marble floor is a large violet carpet stretching across the room, where at the end is a large dining table where a few people sit, who I instantly recognise to be other Tekken characters sit. I notice that most of the females there appear to be well dressed with their black dresses which are sparkly and have diamonds on, black gloves and jewellery of decent coverage, quantity and quality, along with black fur coats, while the males appear to wear suits as opposed to their usual Tekken attires, though I guess it's because of the occasion. I am able to recognise them instantly after seeing them in the distance and they are: Jin, Heihachi, Lars, Panda, Kuma, Jun, Asuka, Zafina, Raven, Dragunov, Yoshimitsu and Lili sitting there, although for some reason Lili is dressed as Vert in her human form from mk2.
Lili keeps her long blond hair, but a bit of it is curled at the back of her head, in which past the shoulders it curves outwards a significant amount, before curving back inwards when the hair is past the same height as her busts, to give an interesting style which is similar to Noire's own hair. It might even be longer than Lili's own. For her costume she wears a green bustier, which covers the entire area of her torso that's below her busts in which the green bustier covers a fair amount showing plenty of cleavage. On her torso below her cleavage there the green is overall a lighter shade with two green lines on top that are parallel and vertical, and surrounding the bustier on her busts is a gold border, and bridging the two busts on the bustier is a gold pattern resembling feathers.
This bustier goes on top of a white skirt which is a pretty unique one. The skirt expands outwards, in which initially it's a bit before getting to the knee where it expands outwards significantly. Along with this from her left thigh at the very top it has a parting such that most of the left leg and some of the right can be seen, in which on the left leg are white circular lace patterns on the side. The skirt ends with triangular shapes encircling the skirt entirely with it alternating between big and small ones, and consists of a gold border. While on the inside the skirt is white, on the outside there is a section which is bordered by a gold thick line in the same triangular pattern as the edge, which is in peach. On the peach section there are gold patterns encircling it which look the same consisting of on the big triangles: near heart shapes that curve at the top, diamond shapes above that and in the middle of that and feather shaped curves on top that bend around it. Meanwhile on the smaller sections is what looks like an elaborate x shape that is flattened and curves a bit outwards.
On her outfit is what appears to be a large peach bow at the back, with the bow going around both of her sides such that there's two layers of fabric sticking out on each side She wears a white circular collar around her neck but without the flaps, and there's a green line encircling it, and at the centre is a gold jewel with a sapphire on it, and attached is red ribbon which gives off the appearance of a rosette, and this sits on top of a white see through fabric that goes over much of her cleavage and is has a triangular border pattern.
For footwear she wears white and green knee length boots in which it's white at the bottom at the sole area but for most of the ankle apart from the front it's green, in fact for the rest of its green. There is a gold border separating the two sections and surround the edge of the boots, and they do so in a pattern. The pattern is such that at the ankles it's in a triangle shape with a diamond shape on top of it. Meanwhile on the top of the boot there's a bigger border, and at the front it shows more of her leg there, and there it curves on both sides in an arc before forming a curved diamond shape, in which there's a gold diamond shape at the bottom, and there's a curve on the two sides of the diamond shape cut out.
On her arms she wears white gloves which covers her wrists and expands outwards on the outer side of the glove, to the point where it reaches her elbows, and has a ruffled border. Near the ruffles is a gold border along with a bigger light green border with a pattern in the shape of a heart and a diamond shape on top of it, and this is surrounded by another gold border albeit a lot thinner. Below this are squashed oval shapes in the formation of an X. Along with this, on her upper arms she wears what appears to be bangles of significant size which have gold borders and are green with gold pattern on them.
I do find myself wondering with much curiosity, why is she dressed as Vert? But then I wonder whether it's due to her awareness of having a similar appearance to the Leanbox CPU with regards her hair colour, style and eye colour, just as the other youngest female characters have a similar appearance to a different CPU. I don't mind, considering that it's interesting to see her look like the Leanbox CPU, and it's only fitting since I've already seen Noire and Blanc cosplay as Xiaoyu and Asuka respectively. As a matter of fact, I'm not the only one to notice Lili pretending to be Vert, since I notice Blanc looking pretty amused with this situation. Also present interestingly enough but again I have absolutely no issue with this, is that Parasoul and Peacock are sitting together having a drink, no doubt they've been invited due to the theme, and have a significant role to play in Lastation.
Upon seeing all the guests that are here from where we are, I find myself being rather amazed with not only the number of Tekken characters present, but the fact that I like all of them, which makes me wonder again about the way this place works, considering Lastation is full of nothing but joy, fun, prosperity and happiness, along with hope, progress and optimism. It is at this point, that we see Lee Chaolan standing before us, dressed in a black tuxedo suit with black gloves and a red rose in his top pocket of his jacket.
"Oh Excellent, you have arrived and it's so wonderful to see you all. May I? You look very lovely tonight." Lee offered in a friendly charming manner as if to kiss Noire and Blanc's hand.
Noire and Blanc then show their right hands with much enthusiasm and appreciative smiles, and Lee kisses them both there causing the two CPUs to smile and chuckle in a flirtatious manner.
"Thank you Lee Chaolan and thank you for inventing that drink it has saved Lastation." Noire speaks with much pride, appreciation and admiration.
"And helped bring peace between Lastation and Lowee, is that you Lady White Heart? Oh excellent. It's such joy to see the Lastation and Lowee CPUs together again. Come, come I'm sure my friends will be very pleased to see you." Lee says in a welcoming, friendly manner, gesturing with his hand to the table for us to join.
He then leads us to the large table where the Tekken characters all sit talking only for them to look at us and applaud us for our reunion and leadership.
"Thanks a lot for the kind applause. I was wondering being as you lot are very good fighters, and Leanbox could potentially invade tomorrow. Would you be happy to have a friendly beat em up tournament after dinner, to test our skills?" I ask him politely with much curiosity in my voice.
If I'm honest while it'd be useful, I'd find that pretty novel to do, and would be a chance to see how good I am at unarmed combat, considering my shooting and driving skills. Why not being as we're all here?
"I was thinking of the exact same thing, of course I'll happily offer what help I can. After all Lastation is all about technology just as I am, and it would be sad to see it go. Especially considering all the hope, prosperity and wonderful inventions it brings that makes lives better, more enjoyable and freer. It is so wonderful that with this reunion that nightmare has a lot less of a chance of being a reality." He speaks with much enthusiasm and pride.
Lee then leads us to the table walking past the paintings that are massive, expensive and full of detail, and show the people on them in different costumes that scream opulence, lavishness and have a majestic quality to them. They are all smiling and are very proud in those paintings. There are also large grand black pianos played by talented musicians who are currently playing different appropriate music, including Lee's Tekken 4 Ending Theme and music from the Skullgirls. Along with this there are people playing on saxophones and drums which are hit occasionally as part of the background music that they play.
We then reach the table which is very large and covered in violet linen cloth, on it are two wine glasses full of drink for each person. There are also two sets of forks on the left of the plate, with two sets of knifes on the right side of the plate and a spoon on the right, and above the plate is a fork and a spoon. There's also a violet coloured napkin on each plate with the Violet industry logo on it. We then sit down taking off the napkins, and either putting the napkin around our neck or putting it on our lap.
"I propose a toast!" Noire announces with much pride in her voice before standing up and smiling as she holds the glass outwards in her hand.
We all then stand up holding our glasses high with pride and smiling very much. I notice how all us have Pepsi in our glasses, apart from Blanc and White who have milk and Rom who has blueberry milkshake, and Ram who has strawberry milkshake. It's great how we have a toast with our drinks which we consider to be our national drinks, due to the colour of them.
"A toast to us, for being together in these dark times. As well as to Lee Chaolan, for being responsible for saving Lastation, and for giving our troops a significant edge over Leanbox." Noire says with much pride and appreciation and speaks in a friendly caring tone.
"Cheers!" Everyone says with much enthusiasm and happiness in their voices, before gently tapping each other's glasses.
As if on cue our dinner arrives, which is actually soup. The soup looks homemade and of very high quality. Various waiters and waitresses deliver the soup to our plates, along with croutons and different sorts of bread consisting of different flavours and shapes, as well as butter. As we are served the food, of we which we show much gratitude, Blanc then makes an observation.
"Thank you ever so much waiters and waitresses. It's so nice to be watered here, it kinda reminds me of a story I once knew, and it goes like this:
Note: Readers please listen to Tekken 5 Lee Ending Theme while reading this:
Like with Blanc's previous story I am once again transported to another place. I like how Blanc's stories are able to physically transport me to the location, and her stories are ever so phenomenal and amusing. This time I see a beach with large comfortable deck chairs, umbrellas and tables, and there's not a cloud in the sky, allowing the sun to shine incredibly brightly. I then notice amongst the scenery and features, four deck chairs with four people lying on them close together. Two of them who are on the centre ones, are Noire and Blanc in their HDD forms, as they lie with their sunglasses on enjoying the sun and relaxing. There are two men on either side of them putting sun cream on them gently, in which the CPUs appreciate. Already I can sense this is going to be good. It does remind of a particular ending I've seen and a hilarious one at that.
"Thank you very much, you guys are great, oh I really love men so kind and considerate, and intelligent and hardworking." Noire speaks in much appreciation for what they're doing.
"Yeah couldn't put it better myself. Say wanna get some service?" Blanc asks in a friendly playful manner.
It is then Noire gives her a playful distinctive smile as if to say what an excellent idea, before the both of them snap their fingers in unison.
Three women then walk towards them; one of the women is dressed in a large eggplant outfit, another with their hair very short is wearing a large purple old fashioned dress that covers all of her body. And the third is wearing a large green baby costume covering her entire body including her feet and hands. It's then that we see who they actually are. The one with the eggplant outfit is Neptune, the one in the old fashioned dress is Plutia who is actually sweating a lot and tries to conceal her facial expressions of humiliation and frustration, and the one in the baby costume is Vert who has a dummy in her mouth. The men then start smirking under their breath; I don't blame them as they look so funny in these outfits. No doubt because of how much they suit them to a tee.
"Can we be of service Lady Black Heart and Lady White Heart?" Neptune asks sounding as politely as comfortable as she can.
"Right away Lady Black Heart and Lady White Heart." Neptune says as calmly as she can along with politely.
They bow down to them again only to then walk away from them, growling under their breath, and concealing their rage even though it begins to come out.
"Damn those two." Plutia says in an aggressive tone but being as quiet as she can.
"Having us wear those costumes what nerve." Vert says while agreeing with her in a similar tone, and her body language expressing much frustration.
"Yeah and those guys laughing at us." Neptune says shuddering both in voice and in body language.
It turns out that Noire and Blanc overheard them.
"You had better hurry if you don't want to suffer more ownage." Noire says sounding quite the badass, and in a tone that suggests she's in much control.
She gets a remote out and presses a button. The three of them then start panicking, fearing what's happening to them, and then they notice and feel the effects as a result of the pressed button.
"Ahhhh! My boobs are shrinking!" Vert yells in absolute fear and terror.
"My boobs ache, this corset is constricting me!" Plutia shrieks, sounding ever so frightened and her body language shows much terror.
"My body is infected with eggplants!" Neptune panics speaking a bit quicker than usual.
They then frisk their bodies rapidly in a vain attempt to save themselves, as they yell and panic and shriek loudly. Neptune then remembers how she was forced to eat eggplants, while Plutia remembers us torturing her, while Vert remembers herself crying in Victory when she and Nepgear were defeated.
Amazingly they then run away insanely fast, it's unbelievable.
"Yes Lady Black Heart, yes Lady White Heart." They yell loudly ever so scared.
After which the awesome foursome in the deckchairs laugh a fair amount, as they then all lie down on their deckchairs in unison after watching the three stooges get the humiliation they deserve.
"Excellent!" They say in unison and with a big smile on their faces.
I am now returned back to the dinner table with the CPUs of Lastation and Lowee, and all the Tekken characters that are present today with us. All of us are laughing a lot at Blanc's awesome story for a fair while.
"I reckon if we get to capture them alive, we should do something like that to them, it'll be funny and appropriate along with just." I suggest casually and with a smirk.
"Yeah it will be good payback for their crappy Neptunia games, where they always humiliate us, along with the innocents who have immensely suffered by them, consisting of who knows what." Blanc agrees and speaks in a similar tone to me.
We then all laugh again loudly with the same enthusiasm; in fact we spend a few minutes in hysterics. It would be great for us to be able to humiliate those Planeptune losers, and make them at last pay for all that they have done, and for them to ensure that they never do what they've done ever again. Eventually Heihachi then speaks to us in his usual tone and manner.
"I hope we can capture Kazuya one day. I will teach him for betraying Lastation and joining Leanbox." Heihachi says in his distinctive voice and with his arms folded, before giving off his usual laugh.
Hmmmm. I would have thought Kazuya would be on Lastation's side but since we have Heihachi, and Kazuya and Heihachi were enemies throughout the series it makes sense. Plus which there are a couple of things to note. Firstly I remember Kazuya owning G Corporation and that their colour is green, secondly that Anna Williams worked for Kazuya and since Tekken Tag 2, she has been sounding a lot more like Vert if you know what I mean.
"Say is Anna Williams working with Leanbox?" I ask them casually, curious to know the differences with regards her between here and in the actual series itself.
"Yes but so is her sister, they were rivals but they formed an alliance. Anna is deadly, she is a skilled sniper and thanks to the fact that she sounds exactly like Vert, she has attempted numerous times to deceive us, by pretending to be Vert on Leanbox radio stations. Fortunately though, thanks to our technology we smelt a rat. As much of a menace she is for the sake of the fans of Tekken, we ideally need her captured alive." Heihachi explains to us, sounding determined but calm despite the relative concerns of this woman, though he doesn't laugh after he said this like before.
"The Williams Sisters. It's funny that you mention that Heihachi since, I often wondered whether I am a Williams to some extent. At any rate I always wanted a sniping dual with them, the best of Lastation vs. the best of Leanbox, I like to think I can win and do it for Lastation and for Lowee." Uni says with much confidence and determination in her voice.
"I would love to see that brown bob bitch taken down, along with her ugly sister." Blanc speaks with much disgust in her voice and in her face.
"Same here, though we must not underestimate them considering what skills they're capable of." I say to everyone with much determination in my voice.
We then finish eating our soups and soon after, they are taken away by Lee's waiters and waitresses in which we thank them and praise the quality of the food.
It's not long before the main course arrives, and from the lovely smell of it, I'm sure it's going to be delicious and memorable, and look really nice as well.
I couldn't help but notice how extravagant and mouth-watering the food is, as it looks just as I figured to be nice, in fact it looks very well presented and decorated, as if it's done by top quality chefs who have spent a long time preparing for it. In fact it's almost like art, making it quite a tragedy that we will eat this delicious food. Some of the food I recognise as some of it is lobster, squid, rice and potatoes and noodles, but while there is meat and vegetables I'm not familiar with the appearance or even the proper name for them.
Never the less, the food does look appetizing and I'm more than willing to try the food considering my previous experience of it in Lastation so far, being full of novel flavours and being an absolute delight as I really enjoy every mouthful. As a matter of fact, I'm confident the food will be as tasty as it looks, in fact I'm also confident that I'll be introduced to new flavours and tastes and perhaps smells of food, after what I've already had so far despite being in Lastation, for a relatively short while. After we've all been served some food, we thank the waiters and waitresses for their lovely hospitality, and tuck in to this delicious mouth-watering food. It's not long at all that we then start talking again while we eat this exquisite cuisine.
"Out of curiosity are there any other people from Leanbox that we have to be concerned with, besides Anna and Nina Williams if you know what I mean?" I ask them with curiosity in my voice and body language.
"Yeah we're all capable of breaking the 4th wall here, and for the reader's benefit I know you meant the Tekken characters. There's just Bryan Fury, Marduk, Bruce Irvin and Feng Wei." Heihachi explains to me in a casual calm manner.
"Well at least there are only 7 of them compared to 12 of us. But we must still be cautious." I say to them sounding optimistic and determined.
I couldn't help but notice how Anna, Nina, Feng, Bryan, Marduk and Kazuya all have something in common concerning me. It's the fact that I never liked them very much particularly because of how evil they were. I do not think much to what I consider to be evil, as it's always better to be good as the world would be more prosperous, more hopeful and peaceful that way. With this said though, I do recognise that what actually can be called evil is debatable entirely.
One thing I do find myself wondering as I'm dining with them, is that where is Lei Wulong? Where is Xiaoyu and where is Alisa? But I then realise that thanks to my long tied black hair I do look a lot like Lei, especially with having a similar build to him. Maybe I am to cosplay as him, just as Noire is to cosplay as Xiaoyu and Alisa for similar reasons.
"Hey I have another story to tell you lot, this time it's about Noire and how she talked to Neptune about her game." Blanc announces with enthusiasm and excitement in her voice.
Ah another one of Blanc's fun stories which means another place I get transported to, which is often hilarious and awesome. Let's see what this one is about.
Note: Readers please listen to Tekken 3 Xiaoyu Ending while reading this:
It is then I see Noire and Neptune just standing there in a night time street in their HDD forms. There's not a car in sight, but there are lampposts providing decent amounts of lighting on the street. Noire is excited, full of joy as she sees a poster covered up on a brick wall, she's eager to see what is behind the poster, and is optimistic that it's something good.
"Now Noire, I've decided that I'm going to make a new game after Hyperdimension Neptunia mk2." Neptune says smiling and sounding positive and optimistic as well.
"Oooh, it's going to be my game with me as the main character. I'm pleased you have decided to do it, after all we both know what's gonna happen if you don't make it." Noire replies with joy, her body language expresses much excitement.
"The new game that will come out will be…." Neptune says maintaining her tone as she then unveils the cover.
"Hyperdimension Neptunia Victory!" She says with joy, ever so pleased with the announcement.
She then looks at the poster laughing in an evil way acting ever so triumphant. Noire then taps Neptune on the shoulder quite angrily. Neptune then turns around with curiosity on her expression, only for Noire to punch Neptune really hard in the face, then twice in the stomach with equal force. After which Noire kicks Neptune high in the air. The purple haired witch then falls to the ground lying on her back, there is blood all over face and she suffers two black eyes.
"Neptune no one wants to see your crappy games, because all they are about is about how you cry and moan about how you've lost to Team Sony and Team Nintendo. Why can't you just admit that I'm the better goddess hmmm? Tell you what Neptune why don't we have a popularity contest to prove I don't need scripts to win, and if I win you'll make that game or else you'll suffer the consequences." Noire warns Neptune in a calm manner, but in a tone that ensures that the Lastation CPU is not to be messed with.
She then leaves Neptune lying on the floor who's struggling to get up, due to the immense pain she's in and the grogginess.
Note: Readers please listen to Tekken 4 Yoshimitsu Ending while reading this:
I'm now transported to another place, this time it's a purple bedroom with a bright purple carpet and lilac cabinets and wardrobes. I believe it to be Neptune's room as it's full of snacks especially puddings and cuddly toys, there's a Dreamcast there and I notice how the cuddly toys are mostly of Sonic the Hedgehog. I also notice how on the roof of the room is a large window, showing a sunny cloudless day.
In the room is Neptune who's still in her HDD form trying to look defiant despite some bad news clearly affecting her, but with her is six Planeptune soldiers. Three of them stand to her left, while the other three stand to her right. Noire who's still in her HDD form then walks in the room with confidence, her footsteps echo. She then stops walking at a certain distance to Neptune, her expression declaring victory and demanding to hear what Neptune has to say to this fact.
"You may have won the popularity contest, but I will never let you have a game with you as MC." Neptune says firmly and with much defiance.
The soldiers then dutifully and with aggression point their pistols at Noire.
"You are nothing but a bunch of party poopers, you incite the masses with false promises and you always get in our way and make a mockery of me." Neptune growls with a lot of aggression.
"Those who tread the path of evil shall face judgement eventually." Noire explains calmly, with a hint of warning in her voice.
Neptune then does a loud hearty laugh.
"Lady Purple Heart, Team Lastation have broken into the kitchen. They have lifted Nepgear and the entire snack supply with a helicopter." Someone from the intercom explains sounding significantly nervous.
"What!?" Neptune yells fuming with anger.
She now has her fists clenched growling like mad. While Noire just stands there with a smug look on her face.
"You! SHOOT HER!" The purple CPeww yells loudly and with desperation.
Noire quickly gets out her riot shield, the bullets then bounce off the riot shield. She also gets out a smoke grenade, and throws it at Neptune which gives her such a look of horror and despair.
They then choke at the gas immensely, commenting on the gas smelling of eggplants. Noire then quickly gets out a rope gun, as she calmly fires it at the roof window; the rope then makes a hole in the window as it then attaches to the helicopter. At that point Noire escapes by rope gun with her face still full of smugness.
After which Noire then smashes through the window with her riot shield, and it's then that Neptune desperately runs towards the place where Noire once stood with a look of anger and humiliation on her face.
"AFTER HER! DAMN YOU!" Neptune screams very loudly, her fists still clenched with fury and immense rage.
The story is now over and I'm now back in the large table with all my favourite Tekken characters, who find this story absolutely hilarious and are in hysterics. The fact that Nepgear was kidnapped from Neptune as opposed to dying, does make me wonder whether Nepgear would ever defect if she was given the chance and the means?
I quickly remember that this isn't the first time I've thought this after seeing Blanc's first story. After all I also remember how Nepgear was actually a relatively nice person, who worked hard and treated other CPUs with respect, unlike that sore losing cry baby Neptune; I even remember how Neptune mistreated Nepgear and allowed Plutia to do a Sadie towards her. How terrible to mistreat her sibling like that. I however have treated my friends, my allies and my family with respect and love, and I would never harm them or upset them in any way at all.
But it is tragic that she has defeated my candidates, and then there was what happened in that bad ending, and there was still humiliations at the hands of Neptune, along with the relatively negative portrayals of the CPU Candidates I support. But as for Nepgear what I just described was from the games and since this universe is very different, I can't be sure whether we could get Nepgear to defect, or if she would. What is her genuine allegiance to? For her sister or against her sister? I haven't even seen any interaction between her and Neptune, and I doubt I will for a very long time. So there's no way of knowing for sure.
As I look around the table eating the wonderful food and consuming the delicious refreshing Pepsi, I see all the Tekken characters eating their food and drinking their drink with much enthusiasm as well. I become increasingly eager to learn how they got here, here in Lastation and what exactly is their role here? I then turn to Jun, a short black haired, brown eyed character I liked, because of how good she was as well as how much she cared for animals.
"Jun?" I ask her with curiosity in my voice.
"Yes Black?" She asks back in a foreign language in a friendly manner.
"I'd like to know more information about you if you don't mind, how did you come here?" I ask her with the same curiosity in my voice.
"It would be my pleasure. I was from a different world; I was originally an officer of a wildlife protection organisation, as I loved nature and animals very much. I then entered the King of Iron Fist Tournament 2, after discovering the sponsor of the tournament Kazuya smuggled protected animals, I had to arrest him but it was then that I discovered that he carried the devil gene, which caused him to become evil. I attempted numerous times to cure him of the devil gene but unfortunately to no avail. After some time I gave birth to a son Jin Kazama and after that I trained him in karate in preparation of Ogre's inevitable arrival.
I tried to fight Ogre but tragically Ogre knocked me out. It was then that I had a vision where I witnessed a person, who explained to me he was Harada God of Production who told me I would be sent here to Lastation: a good land led by a good leader, to help bring peace in Gameindustri. He also said when the time comes perhaps the King of Iron Fist Tournament 7, I will return back to that different world. It is a lovely place here, I'm with my son Jin again and I love the land here, as while it's technologically advanced there are plenty of habitats and forests full of different wild life who are well looked after, and live incredibly long lives." Jun explains sounding rather happy to be in this world, while quite sad with what happened where she originally was.
Her explanation does makes sense to me, and I notice how warm she sounds as well as how friendly and happy she is in her expressions and body language. But one thing that I wonder is what of Heihachi being here? I remember how he threw Kazuya of a cliff, all because of wanting him to be strong. And I remember how Kazuya threw him off a cliff in revenge, only for himself to be thrown into a volcano 2 years later. He also threw Jin off a helicopter 20 years after that. It was him that started the conflict between himself, his son Kazuya and his grandson Jin, a conflict that has gone on for a long time and yet despite his evil deeds, he is funny and I've got to admire how strong he is. I must admit that I'm unsure of what to make of him. And yet here he is now sitting with us. I'm guessing he is one of Noire's vassals and he appears to be on the good side, or else he would either be dead or in prison. Or perhaps he was bad once only for him to defect, I gots to know.
"Hey Heihachi, how did you come here?" I ask him with curiosity and a desire to find out.
"I was born and raised in Lastation. Me and my wife Kazume had two sons: Kazyua and Lee Chaolan. I trained them up in fighting after learning they wanted to join its military and that desire never fading away. I did so that hopefully one day, they could become good fighters for Lastation like I was. One day I took them to a mountain to show them a lovely sunset and the lovely views down below of streams, rivers and forests full of wildlife.
Unfortunately, Kazuya had an accident and fell down, we all then looked for him for a long time, but he couldn't be found. Sometime later we learned that he was brainwashed, and due to him being a unique case he became a devil. We also learned that he had fled to Leanbox believing that I threw him down, I haven't seen him since. Later on I have looked after a young boy named Jin Kazama with his parents and after some time Jun Kazama arrived. Although for some strange reason they both have a powerful relationship, as if Jin is Jun's mother although here, Jin's mum is not Jun, and his dad is not Kazuya. Jun explained to me that from where she came from, she had a son named Jin. And thanks to her spiritual powers Jin is able to recognise Jun as his mother." He explains to me calmly despite clearly sounding more depressed later on as he went through the tragic events.
Interesting how Heihachi is different here to the one from Tekken. In fact significantly different to the point where he's kinder, less selfish and cold here along with more entertaining. It does make sense though considering it's clear to me the sort of people that live in Lastation being moral and kind and good, and so therefore characters that are from well-known games that are on the console would have these traits here, rather than be the same people which don't reflect how people of Lastation are. I must admit it is rather fun to dine with them lot, and it's especially nice with how I'm not having to be speedy with chopsticks to eat my food with these guys. As if on cue, we have all eaten our main course and it is now time for desert, in which I look forward to a lot after what I've seen, and am confident that it will be delightful.
Wow. I really am amazed with the presentation of the desert. The way the sauce decorates the different puddings as well as how appetising it really looks. In fact the overall deserts are beyond what I expected and ever so delightful. Some of the desserts are fruit, others are chocolate and some are toffee, while others are loads of different fruit crumbles and pies, but I also notice how there's truffles as well as what I recognise to be Mr Whippy ice cream. There's even what I recognise to be Carte D'or, Hargen Daz and Vienetta all in different flavours, along with ice creams with different delicious dessert treats as well, and there are sundaes too full of different delicious luxurious sweet stuff. I decide to have some Eton mess which is basically a mixture of strawberries, pieces of meringue and cream. I remember having this a lot before, it's good to have it again as it is a desert I really like, and the taste of it is absolutely amazing.
As we eat our dessert it then dawns upon me, that while the matches will be friendly and we'll recover after the fights, that I am becoming increasingly concerned, about the fact that I don't know if I know any unarmed combat, considering how I would have thought that the interactions and the memories that I regain would bring back memories of unarmed combat. I also wonder if I can in fact fight competently, what fighting style would I have. Would it be Lei Wulong? Steve Fox? Or would I just be Combot, and be able to do every move? Or even would it be that I don't have a fighting style like any Tekken character at all? I'm really not sure.
I quickly realise that I can only do my best and be confident, because my strength and abilities matches a CPU, and from what little I can remember, I must have some knowledge considering what we must have gone through in our fights against our nemesis. With this also in mind, I should be able to win any fight I am involved in. Interestingly enough, we do end up discussing who's going to fight who in our own Title of Iron Fist Tournament, before we finish off our deserts, in which they are taken away by Lee's friendly waiters and waitresses. After which our host Lee Chaolan stands up to make an announcement.
"I thank you all so much for coming here and I would also like to thank everyone for doing their bit, in keeping Lastation safe as well as welcoming our Loweean allies here..." Lee announces with pride and enthusiasm.
Everyone then applauds loudly in honour of our host, giving him a standing ovation.
"…Along with agreeing to take part in our fun tournament tonight. I also invited you here so I can give you lot the pleasure of trying the new drinks I invented yesterday: The Perk a Colas." Lee says with much excitement in his voice, sounding really happy with the way things are turning out.
Everyone applauds again at Lee with the same enthusiasm, as some robots come in carrying the perk a colas in bottles on silver platters, along with wine glasses. I actually recognise the humanoid robots and they are Combots, Lee's pride and joy. Robots that are capable of fighting in hand to hand combat, able to fight like skilled martial artists. I remember them being Lee's intention that they would be the best fighters ever.
These robots are metallic with masks, with red circular eyes for a face, as well as armour on the chest, hips and shoulders where there is blue and some writing on there. The robot appears to have lower arms that are armoured with yellow joints and thick outlines of circles for hands. It also has armour on the lower legs with yellow joints as well. All of these parts are connected by large thick wires. I wonder if these Combots are what I think they are.
"These robots don't happen to be super Combot DXs do they?" I ask Lee with much curiosity in my voice, eager to find out.
"They are yes, they contain knowledge of every unarmed combat move known to man, and it's capable of beating anyone at unarmed combat. They have just recently been built and have been given the green light. With luck I'll be able to make these machines able to perform various other combat skills, such as fire arms training, platform training, maybe even the ability to drive any vehicle. I also intend to program them to do other things as well such as manual jobs. I just think it would be wonderful if these robots can help the Lastation people in any way possible, maybe other people too, be it with construction, help with tasks involving precision, everything, and with any luck be able to win the war and liberate Lowee for a start." Lee speaks with much pride in his voice and body language.
I notice Noire smiling in admiration for what he said, I can tell from her body language how much she appreciates his technology, and is really exciting about the potential of it.
I can tell from Lee's own body language how much he believes in his robots. I can't blame him after all I've noticed how robotics is a big part of Lastation during my time here, and noticing how well Lastation does with its utopian advanced technology. I can't even begin to imagine how we'll all live, when we are able to fulfil even more of our goals like with Lee's robots ending the war and performing house hold tasks, and perform tasks in the outside world, while we do even more exciting and rewarding jobs. This will include jobs that are created as a result of these robots existing, and the increasing amounts of potential, as they operate in a useful manner in increasing numbers.
"Speaking of the Super Combot DX. I have a story I wish to tell you lot concerning a robot." Blanc says with a distinct smile on her face, knowing that it's a good and entertaining one.
The mere mention of this from Blanc earns her a large round of enthusiastic applause and a cheer, before I am transported to another place. This time I see Neptune, Plutia and Peashy in their HDD forms, lying unconscious on the floor close to each other. They all lie there with their arms apart, all of them except for Plutia lie on their back. It's as if I see them lying there from above, as I notice the floor appearing to be made from concrete, and the floor has a pattern full of white lines forming squares.
I then see them get up and it is then I realise, that they must be in some underground testing facility as everywhere seems to be made of concrete.
"Where are we, any ideas?" Neptune pants sounding fairly confused, a bit irritated with the situation.
They all struggle to get up as they do so slowly, still aching.
Suddenly a voice on the radio can be heard which starts talking to them from above.
"Ladies and I use that term loosely, welcome to Violet Systems Laboratory." Noire says with a hint of smugness and a smile on her face, grinning as I can tell she is in complete control. Oh this is going to be awesome.
I can't blame her though as it would be awesome to capture those 3 morons, and do some fun stuff with them if you readers know what I mean.
The 3 of them look up to see a viewing window from above, preventing them from seeing Noire.
"You have been given the esteemed honour, in helping us test our latest in future proof robot technology." Noire speaks with pride looking so smug, relishing the situation.
"The super Combot DX." Noire speaks with pride and joy along with her body language, as I see her in her attractive HDD form; I also notice she wears sunglasses.
She shows her hand as if to introduce the robot.
The 3 then turn to find a very large door opening slowly, and stood in the doorway is actually Anonydeath in its robotic form that I know and hate from the series. Although I can tell there's something different about it, as it just stands there ready to fight, rather than standing like a female. Furthermore, the colour is different too as this one is completely in black. Maybe Noire captured the robot and converted it, gone the perverted robot that was horrible and creepy, in is a robot that looks cool and is ready to kick their but.
Neptune then laughs for quite a bit in a mocking manner.
"That robot is really Anonydeath in black, silly Noirey." Neptune says in a dismissive, disrespectful manner and laughs.
The robot then jumps in front of Neptune, before doing an uppercut sending her flying in the air and knocking her on her back. The robot punches her a few times as she lands on the floor, and then punches her again twice. This causes her to flip and knock her out as she lays on her back, cold or at least appears to be, her facial expressions says shock and surprise, completely stunned with what has happened.
The robot then turns to face Plutia and Peashy, as they put their fists up and change to their fighting stances, looking unimpressed and dismissive. The robot charges at them, one punch to the torso is all that is required to send them to the ground. This brings a huge smile to Noire's face.
Neptune and Peashy charge and try to kick the robot, but the robot just dodges effortlessly. Plutia tries to hit the robot again, along with Peashy but the robot manages to dodge out of the way again this time deliberately barely, frustrating the 3 CPUs down there immensely. The two attack again, but the robot just jumps out of the way in a manner as if to say: "Is this all you've got?". Neptune then comes charging in. The 3 of them hope that if they could surround it and then attack they'd be able to harm it, but the robot just jumps out of the way and the 3 CPUs end up doing a 3 way fist bump.
"I've already inputted all of your attack patterns, you won't be able to lay a finger on it." Noire speaks sounding so smug and her body language expressing this as well.
The robot does a taunt to the 3 as they still stand, still determined to try and take the robot down, and have looks full of anger and humiliation.
"Now then, time to wrap up our little session." Noire says in her smug confident tone, holding her fingers up forming the "ok" symbol.
The robot still taunts, only for a laser to knock the robot's head off. It turns out that Neptune had fired the laser with one of Nepgear's laser swords. I notice how Neptune is shaking, perhaps with relief as do the other two though they are still tense.
"I'm sorry Anonydeath, I will get you fixed." Neptune says with much sadness looking down.
But then Neptune changes her posture and now she looks smug.
"Ha, ha ha, ha, ha, even if you have managed to reprogram Anonydeath you have still failed to defeat us. You will never be able to get the best of me Nowarr." Neptune says with confidence and the same dismissiveness that she had before the robot kicked their butts.
"Really? I actually planned that to happen, and I think you'll find I already have gotten the best of you, as tonight really won't end well for you." Noire speaks with pride and smugness, as she presses the button on a detonator.
The robot then beeps from its alarm inside, as the robot emits blinding white light. The 3 of them become shocked, appearing fearful and panicking and increasingly alarmed, they eventually scream loudly as the robot explodes causing lots of fiery smoke down there.
Noire then laughs, giving a high five to Blanc who now joins her who is also laughing, and look ever so smug and also wearing sunglasses.
"Excellent." They both say with a huge smile on their faces, and sounding ever so happy.
I am then transported back to the dinner table. We all applaud with enthusiasm at Blanc's story as well as laughing immensely at how funny it was. At this point Lee then leads us to where we'll have our own Title of Iron Fist Tournament. While I'm pleased it's a friendly and no one will be hurt afterwards thanks to the physics of this world, I just hope I do well as we head there, even though I have confidence that I will. And I also hope that we will be able to survive Leanbox's attack, although again I have plenty of faith and confidence in our people, our technology and our various advantages over our common enemy. I've even had the privilege of witnessing this ourselves.
