Since long ago, a bitter rivalry for being the no. 1 3d fighting game exist between Tekken of the Namco on the PS' side, and Virtua Fighter of SEGA. Unexpectedly, SEGA now reveals as most of us know that VF4 and probably the rest of it's genres will be on PS2. So, what happens when these two worlds collide?
Very brief Prologue:
Virtua Fighter 4 was set for the PS2, thus they needed a home. Heihachi
offers them to stay at the T4hotel with them while their permanent homes
are under construction. And so it goes...
Added Characters:
Ukyo Tachibana- after SNK closed down, he came to Heihachi for work. He is head of the Discipline and Behavior Committee of the T4hotel, which you can expect is a tough job. Handsome and young, he doesn't usually stay in the office because his groupies would overrun him.
Akuma- a teenage devilcat SOB. Snoopy little bastard who likes to spy not for gossip but blackmail and a lot of laughs and annoying teases. He's Jin's friend (but he teases him too) and Hwoarang's worst annoying nightmare, though they sometimes agree on stuff. Examples are rock music, mayhem and mischief. He is Ukyo's undercover agent, though he gives himself jobs Ukyo never asked for.
Hazuki Kazama- has no relation to the Kazama family. Younger sister of Kazuki Kazama, the fire demigod ninja, she works as a secretary. Jin likes her because she's a nature lover (she is from a ninja clan), a good cook and very meek and humble (other than she's pretty). In other words, something like Jun.
Chapter 1: The Arrival
A black limousine pulls over the hotel. A while later, the first batch
of newcomers came out. A Chinese girl emerges and clasps her hands on her
ears as she stared at the hotel, where screams, shouts, noises, and Hwoarang's
radio playing tracks from the Black Sabbath rock band boomed out. She squinted
her eye as a blonde, voloptous woman comes out. She raised her brow as
a tennis ball, a chair, some ming vases, a picture frame, and a dirty pair
of underwear from different rooms were thrown out of the window, shatterring
the glass.
Sarah: Hmph! Reminds me of New York.
Next, 2 men came out pulling their luggage. A look of loathing appeared
on the boys face as he observed the untidy, digusting features of the hotel
which looked liked an abandoned, wrecked warehouse. He also noticed the
abundant graffitti that covered the grounds. He read some of them with.
It seems he was use to english; the french accent in him was absent.
Lion: This is where we're suppose to stay? Fuck you, Jin Kazama. Kiss
my ass, Lee. I lov u Jin (peacesign). I'm Heihachi and I suck di...
Pai: Stop already!
Jacky: Ha! You haven't seen anything! Back in-
Just then, the chaos suddenly stopped. Silence filled the air, which
was clear of flying objects now. After a while, Ukyo emerged from the door,
which was cracked. He wore a business suit and was carrying his Drying
Pole (it looked like a cane when sheathed, since it's sleek black.) Though
his face and blue hair looked clean and refreshed, his clothes looked very
battered. He ran up to meet them.
Ukyo: (Ehem) Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen, welcome. Erm...excuse
the..."artistic design" of the building. We were only informed of your
stay yesterday, so we had little time to prepare.
Sarah: I'd say!
Ukyo: ...right...let's go in, shall we? I've prepared some food for
you. And our inhabitants are anxious to see you. Oh, don't judge them by
the building's state. I'm sure they'll act human-I mean-behaved (They'd
better, or I'll give them a Tsubame Gaeshi they'll never forget). O no
no! Don't carry your luggage.
Ukyo whistled and six Combots came out, taking the luggage from them.
Pai: Xie xie
Ukyo: Combots! Manufactured by Mr. Lee Chaolan and his team of scientists
and inventors. Very useful, they are, especially for household chores.
Come, the next batch shall be arriving soon, so we'll just get ahead of
them. We still have a bit of walk to the main hall. Mr. Heihachi Mishima
wanted a long lobby for all the portraits of his descedants.
And so they started to walk towards the hotel.
-Meanwhile-
Hwoarang, who was forced to shut down his sound system unless he wanted
it divided into a hundred parts, looked sulky as he got his CD player and
wore his headphones (it was boomed to the max). He sat down, slouched as
he threw a card into the center of the table. He, Paul and Eddy (paid a
visit. He lives in th TThotel), who had Cristie on his lap, were playing
cards in his smokey, dark-atmosphered, trashed and almost mutilated room.
Cracks and holes were on the wall, rats feasted on chips and junk food
lying everywhere. Magazines(Sports, porno, guns and ammo mostly), clothes
and cigarretes were either on the floor or hanging on a furniture. Empty
soda and beer cans were scattered and the liquid gave the green carpet
new shades, colors and stench. Famous rock band posters were posted on
the wall in a slant angle. Some hid Marijuana behind it (though Hwoarang
swore it was his gang members'). The TV was on and they were watching Beavis
and Butthead.
Hwoarang: I can't believe that old fucker had to invite those-who are
they? Virtua Hackers? Whatever-in this trash bag. Sheesh! We couldn't even
breathe in here!
Cristie: Is that the reason? I thought it was because you always burn
your food when you cook or leave ciggies on the ashtray to burn themselves
to dust!
Everybody laughed except Hwoarang.
Hwoarang: Haha...
Just then, Jun knocked on the door. She didn't bother coming in, since
the last time she did, she passed out because of the smoke.
Jun: They're here! Come on, let's greet them.
Paul: To hell with them.
Jun: Now, now Paul! You should behave well. These are guests! And that
goes the same for all of you. And it's rude to keep guests waiting.
Eddy (who was winning): Can't it wait?
Jun: No, it can't. Come now! Unless you'd wait for Ukyo to come and
confiscate your playing cards...
They all threw their cards to the table scowling. They stretched and
went down to the hall.
---
Hazuki: Jin! There you are. I've been looking all over for you.
Jin, who was practicing in the woods, glanced at the green haired girl
wearing a pink kimono who was running towards him. He gave her a slight
grin.
Hazuki: Jin! They're here!
Jin: Who?
Haz: Why, the VF crowd!
Jin: Oh...er...can I pass? I'm still practicing this new technique...
Haz: Jin! Your mom insists!
Jin: Mom? She's here?
Haz: Yup! She just came. Ukyo was having a headache yesterday when
he learned about the VF's arrival. He immediately called your mom, asking
her assistance. He said...
She closed in on his earand whispered.
Haz:...that he cannot keep you father, Hwoarang and the others at bay!
His hair might fall off trying.
Hazuki giggled. Jin smiled.
Jin: Alright. Give me a second. I'll just clean up.
Haz: See you later then.
Hazuki smiled and ran back the hotel. Jin followed her with his gaze
until she was out of sight. He smiled again and reached for the treebranch
behind him for his half black, half white vest without looking. As he turned,
Akuma poped out from the treebranches upsidedown.
Akm: (Tune of "Perfect Combination") Tanananananan!
Jin: WAAAAAAAAAH!
Jin staggered backwards as Akuma jumped off and landed neatly on the
earth below. He was wearing a sky blue bandana with gold symbols on too
keep his cat ears out of sight. He had a red jacket over his white shirt
and rapper's jeans, concealing his shoes. His black gloves concealed only
the thumb, pointing and middle finger, and half his palm. It closed at
his wrist. His red eyes which had black slits instead of a round pupils
danced as he looked at Jin. He mischievously grinned.
Akm: Sorry 'bout that, lover boy. Didn' mean to scare you.
Jin: Shut up! Give me my vest. We go to go. Those VF people are here
and we're required to meet them.
Akm: Ok, ok. If it'll stop you blushing-
Jin: SHUT UP AKUMA!
And they both raced to the hall.
Chapter 2: The Welcoming Committee
Quite to everyones surprise, the hall looked clean and spiffy. No sign
of the decorative ink, pudding, gum, soda whatsoever on the wall. Not a
trash on the floor. There was a huge table lined with seats. Abundant food
and drinks consumed it's center. M. Law tried to put some alcohol in the
punch but Jun caught him red handed and slapped his hand. Hazuki was fixing
a banner on the wall. Hwoarang rudely sat on the table, sulking and slouched
showing his lack of interest. King, who kept growling, was talking with
Steve, who was eyeing on Nina. Lei and Xioayu was trying to stop Craig
from banging his head on the wall for no apparent reason (he doesn't seem
to like the clean atmosphere). Finally, Xiaoyu asked for Panda's help.
Lee was smoking, leaning on the wall, while Kazuya was fumbling at the
corner, his arms crossed. Julia was fixing the plants nearby. Jin and Akuma
came through the door at the near end, which enlightened Xiaoyu. Christie
and Eddy were talking by the wall, she was giggling intensely. Lei and
Bryan were playing chess. Everyone seems to be present...except Heihachi
and Yoshimitsu, who was having a body change they say.
Hwo: Who needs this shit anyway? Hell, What do I care about some stupid
new fighters? Like any of them can beat me-
Jin: Yeah, right.
Hwo: Shut your cakehole, hilltop!
Xio: Hey! It's the truth! He beat you-
Hwo: He TIED with me, okay? It was an accident stupid! Ha! No wonder
they didn't design Chinese to look older. Their brains retain their age!
Lee: Hey! Watch you mouth, jerk!
Hwo: At least I'm not a Bastard!
Lee: I was a better son than the biological-
Kazuya: Only to that old geazer because you're both Assholes!
Lee: I don't mutilate trees and animals like a pscycopath!
Julia: Who's mutilating nature
Kaz: Shut up, bitch!
Jun: Now. now, let's stop this nonsense. We should-
Paul: Shut up, Jun! Can't you see I'm enjoying the arguement?!
Kaz: Don't you dare talk to her like that!
Paul (punches his fists): And what are you gonna do about it, punk?
Lei: Stop this nonsense at once, or else I'll have you all ar-
P+K: Shut up!
Craig: Hehe...fight,fight,fight...
Akm: Uh-oh...
Haz: Oh no! Please no...
Everyone somehow managed to involve themselves in the arguement, even
King, who growled out sentences.
Steve: And what can you do about it, slut? The only thing you got in
that head of yours is how to seduce people.
Nina: Call me that again, and tomorrow you won't wake up from your
sleep no more!
Jin: You! You don't have the right-
Kaz: My sperm made you so FUCK OFF!
Hwo: Shut it up, moron!
Jin: You're not in this!
Xioayu: Yeah! Leave them out-
Hwo: And I suppose you are, peepsqueak?
Xiaoyu: Who're you calling ppepsqueak?!
Hwo: See? I knew you were a fleabrain!
Lee: ...I can buy your soul, you worthless pieace of shit!
Law: At least I'll know when I'm old because my hairs not white!
Christie: Black is beautiful!
Bryan: If you're beauty, I'd rather die of my sickness!
Suddenly, Jin shoved Kazuya. Kazuya punched but Jin ducked, hitting
Paul. Paul dashed forward. Soon, everyone was fighting someone. Lee was
stepping on Law's head. Nina was pulling Steve's arms. King, Craig and
Panda, who got angry when they almost sacked Xiaoyu, were having a royal
rumble. Everyone was fighting, two, three or all at a time. The chairs
were all broken or used as a weapon. The designs and banners were ripped
off. The food flung from here to there. The hall soon returned to it's
wrecked state. Hazuki and Akuma can only stare with narrow eyes. They looked
at each other when a familiar voice seem to be drawing closer. A cold tingle
raised up their spine as Ukyo opened the main doors.
Ukyo: ...the best chef was summoned. I'm sure you'll find it...
Ukyo looked frozen as he stared in to the hall. Everybody too was frozen.
They all looked up to see Ukyo, green energy emitting from his eyes. Somehow,
they can tell how much damage they caused with the burning in his eyes.
Ukyo: ...delicious...
The piece of banner left hanging fell, and the sound of a plate breaking
was the only thing that broke the silence.
Chapter 3: Of course you know, this means war!
The four guests examined the hall, whispering to themselves. They watched
as Ukyo took slow but very steady steps towards the fighters, who managed
to stand up, though bruised, hurt or almost knocked out. Ukyo looked at
them as if he was going to hang them all upside down. They all looked away,
some mockingly, when he stared at them. He pointed the end of his scabbard
to them.
Ukyo: Who started this?
Xiaoyu: Well, Hwo-
Hwoarang: Shut the fuck up, Chinese Chicken!
Pai: Excuse me?
Pai took a step forward. Hwoarang glanced at her.
Hwo: Who' you suppose to be? This is non of your business, newbie!
Xioayu: Gasp! It's-it's-Pai Chan! The famous action film star! Oh my
GAWD!
Hwo: ...so?
Xioayu covered her mouth. She looked at her as if she was a goddess.
Pai smiled at her, causing her to frenzy herself looking for a pen and
paper. Lee was staring at her too, his mouth opening slowly. Julia closed
it for him. Hwoarang looked annoyed. Pai stared back at him, her eyes flashing
with anger.
Pai: I do not like the way you speak, mister! You have no respect for
women. Your tongue should be cut off! Secondly, I do not like your discrimination
of our people. Apologize!
He laughed.
Hwoarang: Apologize?! Why should I? What are you, some kind of Confucius?
Ha! Tell you what, you want me to apologize? Well, yu can KISS MY ASS!
At this, Pai walk towards him. She lifted her right hand and gave him
a powerful SLAP!
Hwo: OW!
There was a great ooooooooh in the air as Pai turned her back on him,
heading for the other guests, who were cheering for her. Hwoarang's eyes
were narrow. He held his cheek which had a red mark on it. It hurt badly.
Xioayu was definately awestruck and amazed. Lee was raising his brow with
a grin. Quite embarrassed, he dashed forward to Pai, tripped her and was
going to land his raised foot on her...
Ukyo: I wouldn't do that if I were you...
He was amusing himself with the event that he almost forgot he was
angry. He was barely able to catch up with Hwoarang before he could execute
the move. He quickly unsheathed his sword, drawing the blade infront of
Hwoarang's attacking leg. It would've been cut off if he hadn't stopped
it.
Ukyo: I'll talk to you later. Right now, it would be wise to turn back...
Lee helped Pai up. As she stood, he briefly and discreetly introduced
himself. He kissed her hand and when he turned back to his former position,
she noticed he somehow slid a golden ring with a diamond on her finger.
She blushed. As for Ukyo, he sighed and told the Tfighters to wait there
for him as he lead the guests to their rooms. Xiaoyu ran towards Pai and
walked with her. But before they left the hall, Pai had a quick glance
at Hwoarang. He eyed on her viciously, as if giving his title, "Blood Talon",
a new meaning.
Chapter 4: The Tour
The other fighters followed shortly after them. After placing their
bags on their respective rooms, ordering some food and eating them. They
were given an hour brake. After so, Hazuki toured them not only in the
T4hotel, but at the TThotel as well. Shun Di, since he was old and wasn't
fond of long walks, decided to stay with Wang. They seem to know each other.
From time to time, Hazuki would introduce some of he Tfighters, but was
careful of chosing which ones to take notice of. Wolf was eyeing on Armor
King, who was carrying his Wrestling Champion belt. And when she introduced
Jin as he was practicing, Akira intently watched as he performed his techniques.
They were surprised to see a blue sparkle of light emit from his hand.
Haz: Oh that? It's charge. Collect "chi" then use it with your attack.
Very powerful, can damage a large chunk of life out of you.
Aoi: Akira, what is it?
Akira: ...I can feel...a strong surge...it's not normal...not human...ah,
don't...mind me. L-let's go.
But not all situations were like that. Xiaoyu and Pai seem to be getting
along well. Sarah wanted to cuddle Gon. After which she wouldn't let go.
Sarah and Nina can both relate to brainwashing, so Sarah and Jacky ended
up going for burgers with Nina. Anna got a bit jealous, though. Vanessa
arranged a meeting with Lei. She got interested with the case he was taking
and offered help. Kage accepted afriendly challenge from Yoshimitsu, who
was friendly but scared the life out of them when he showed up in his T4
version. Finally, as they were about to end the tour, Aoi noticed a section
that has been left out. There was a big, black door at the end.
Aoi: Wait, we haven't been there.
Haz: Oh! Oh no no no! That's the forbidden area!
Aoi: Why is it forbidden?
Haz: Because...that's where the demons are locked up.
Everyone gasped.
Lion: Demons? Why would they keep demons for?!
Haz: They're part of their cast! They are kept in there for...safe
keeping. No one is allowed there. Only Ukyo has the key to enter that room.
Lion: PART OF THEIR CAST-MY GAWD! ARE THEY INSANE? ARE THEY DEMENTED?!
Hazuki felt a bit annoyed with his statement. The demons in the game
actually made it more interesting and they were actually a big plus, though
its a big headache keeping them. But Hazuki couldn't blame him for being
angry. She had her share of demons in their home; it was the worst thing
that has happened to her and she was glad when a player uses her brother
and finishes the game. After so she would be saved. In other times though,
she was at it's mercy.
Haz: They've been long there. They were summoned and captured for use.
I'm not sure, but I believe even T-toshin is in there!
Akira: To-who?
Haz: Toshin! The war god!
Everyone gasped. Hazuki covered her mouth with her hands. Ukyo told
her not to tell them that, thinking they might doubt and distrust the place.
Or worst, someone might feel heroic and...She felt fear, thinking how the
news wouldn't reach Ukyo.
Lei-Fei: Toshin...demons...they mus tall be diminished! They
must be repelled from this world!
At this, Hazuki felt like dying.
Haz: Oh no! Don't! Please don't even try! You don't know their capabilities!
They are dangerous! Please, never attempt to even go near that room! C-c'mon,
the t-tour is over. Y-you should all rest. And...p-please don't tell anybody...don't
even say anything about it.
Chapter 5: Breakfast
It was early in the morning. The dining table, which was replaced with
a new one after the other new one was split into two, was prepared with
a scrumptous breakfast. Soon, all characters from both games came down.
Some made friends, some made foes, and some don't give a damn shit. Christie,
Nina and Sarah were talking and giggling as they sat down. Pai was with
Xiaoyu, doing the same. When they sat down, though, Hwoarang was beaming
his eyes on Pai, as if meaning to scorch her with it. She didn't look but
she felt like a laser was burning a hole through her.
Pai: ...er, let's go for a walk, Xiaoyu.
Xia: Um, just let me finish my breakfast first. We can go to the garden
later.
Vanessa and Lei came down carrying some pictures of dead, mutilated,
dismembered and opened bodies, which everyone insist they keep out of sight.
They wondered why people ask such a thing as they continued to examine
it closely while eating their pudding. As everyone was gabbering through
their food, Ukyo came in, Akuma and Hazuki tailing behind. Ukyo walked
towards the end of the table as Hazuki and Akuma headed towards Jin and
sat beside him (Xiaoyu looking at them with glaring eyes and turning purple).
Ukyo cleared his throat and spoke.
Ukyo: Good Morning to you all. I have received an email...
Akuma whispered to Jin and Xiaoyu, both of which gave a small laugh.
Akuma: After passing a lot of love letters. He barely saw it. It was
between 370 new emails from all his groupies, not counting his "snail mail",
mind you. He was a bit surprise, seeing "H. Mishima" and for a second thought
it was something else.
Ukyo: ...that the founder this hotel, Mr. Heihachi Mishima-
Kazuya: Huh! Can't think of a name of his own. "Tekken" was mine...
Ukyo: I did not state he founded "Tekken". I merely stated this building
was founded by him. Now, if everyone can please keep their violent reactions
to themselves, I would like to continue...
(Ehem) Mr. Mishima is coming here later. I am to have an important
meeting with him. I would like everyone to please give him courtesy if
he should pass you by.
That is, if you're going out. I am requesting you all to be in your
rooms or somewhere out of bay when he comes. No commotion or any noise
please, especially you, Hwoarang. Keep your rock music to yourself first.
Ukyo looked at them as if continuing with "...or else...". Some of
them scowled, especially Hwoarang, and murmured, but the VF characters
seem confused with the commotion.
Lee: Since when did you become a dog for him, Ukyo?
Kaz: Like yourself, Lee?
Lee: Shut up, Kazuya!
Ukyo: Silence! For one, I'm not a dog. It's my job. As he is my superior,
I am to show my excellence in the tasks he delegated to me and hope for
a promotion. Of course, you never had to go through hard work, did you
Lee? I mean, I'm only trying to get what I deserve because I'm not as lucky
as you. You know, some trash Mishima found and picked up to clean?-
Lee: How dare you...!
Lee turned to see Kazuya laughing and soon all of them followed, the
T4 Characters anyway. He spat at Kazuya and sat down, turning a bit red.
Ukyo continued talking, probably reminding them of the riot they caused
when the VF4 people came. Akira and Aoi, who was near Akuma, Hazuki and
Jin, moved closer to them. They asked them in a low tone as Hazuki and
Akuma were trying to cheer up Jin ("WHAT? ISN'T MY FATHER AND UNCLE ENOUGH?!")
Akira: What's with this Heihachi guy anyway? And why does that man
(points at Kaz) hate him so much?
The three of them looked at Akira.
Jin: I'll tell you why! He's a betraying son of a-
Haz: Come to our room later. We'll tell you everything there.
Ukyo: ...So, I suggest after taking your breakfast that you proceed
somewhere my two, crystal blue eyes won't see you.
Chapter 6: Crime and Punishment (part 1)
The dining room was soon cleared as everyone was finished eating. Hwoarang
had a devilish smile as he saw Xiaoyu and Pai moving towards the garden.
Lei-Fei was looking from left to right before running off somewhere. Akuma,
Hazuki, Jin, Akira and Aoi headed for Akuma's quarters. Vanessa and Lei
going back to Lei's room. The others split up. Lei and Vanessa were checking
files and observing stuff when a knock distracted them.
Lei: Come in.
Steve Fox came in. He looked bewildered. His eyes were big and narrow.
He closed the door immediately and listened through it. Vanessa looked
at him, thinking he needed to see a psychiatrist. Lei cleared her thoughts,
reading everything by the expression on her face.
Lei: Steve Fox. Guy I've been telling you about. Good boxer.
Vanessa: Ooh, so you're the one being assasi-
Steve: Ssh!
Lei drank a cup of coffee as he tapped on his PC. Vanessa looked amused
at him.
Lei: What is it?
Steve stood up and leaned on the door, wiping his forehead with his
hand which hand a lot of bandage.
Steve: I swear, I heard, I felt, someone following me. Maybe it's Nina
again. Man! Can't she give me a brake?
Lei: You're getting paranoid-
Steve: I AM NOT PARANOID!
Lei: Well then, sit down and relax. We're on it. This is Vanessa, police
woman. She's here to help. We're investigating the mafia who's after you.
These, I believe, are their other crimes. Hmm...if these ARE theirs, their
lives on't be enough.
Vanessa laughed as Steve sat on the sofa and closed his eyes, his hand
still covering half his face, breathing heavily. As the two continued,
he blurted out something shocking.
Ste: Oh yeah, you know that monk guy? Saw him heading for the forbidden
area...
Lei: WHAT?!
Van: The forbidden what?
Vanessa looked innocently at the two. She didn't know about it, since
she didn't finish the tour.
Lei: WHY DIDN'T YOU STOP HIM?
Ste: Hey! I got an assasin behind my tail! I would tell him off if
I was confident enough that I'd still be alive after saving someone else!
Call me conceited but-Lei! Lei!
But he didn't stop. He ran towards the door and to the staircase. Vanessa
followed.
Ste: Hey! Hey wait up!
-
Pai and Xiaoyu were looking forward to rest after a good day's walk.
They planned to listen to the radio as they polish their nails, comb their
hair, do some girl talk...
Pai opened the door. She stopped dead, frozen with shock and anger.
Xioayu: What? What...oh my gawd...
The room was a complete disaster area, as if it was raped by ten horses.
The pillows and stuff toys were torn open, sending feathers everywhere.
The glasses were smashed and the posters were ripped off. The nail polish,
toothpaste and every kind of liquid was poured onto the carpet and bed.
And using lipstick, the whole room was consumed by vandals. It read "Blood
Talon's Revenge"
Pai was furious and it felt like steam was coming out of her head.
She suddenly headed towards Hwoarang's room. Xiaoyu tried to stop her.
Xio: Pai no! Ukyo, remember! We'll just tell him later...
But Pai couldn't hear her. She walked straight to his room and opened
the door without knocking. Hwoarang, who was watching TV, stood up and
faced her. A smile broke out of his lips, making the fury within her intensify.
Hwo: What? What do you-
Pai: How dare you do that, you-you monster!
Hwo: Do what? Oh, that. Hehe. Hey! At least we're even.
Pai: Even for what? For shoving to your face your mistake? I only slapped
you because you needed it!
Hwo: What else? What else...og yeah. For not minding your own business,
bitch! Here, the rules are "you-don't-care-about-others", got that? Or
do you need to scribble it down?
Pai: Don't call me that-
Hwo: Try and slap me again and I'll brake that hand of yours! You were
lucky that old git was there to save your ass! This time, your in my territory.
Besides, in any place, you'd lose to me-
Pai: We'll see about that!
They fought hardcore. The smash and riot was making Xioayu too worried
that she fainted.
Part 2
Lei-Fei stood in front of a huge, black door. Monstrous carvings covered
it. The handles were big. A dark, degrading feeling seem to seep through
it's doors. Noises and hisses can be heard on the other side. Lei, gathering
the courage and power within him, fighting the depressing feeling off,
took another step forward. "I must at least try..." Lei-Fei thought.
Meanwhile, Lei, Vanessa and Steve were running like hell (no pun intended).
Vanessa, gathering some air, questioned Lei, though she can barely force
it out.
Van: Wha-what...where...forbidden-
Lei explained as they ran towards the door. He gave an information
Hazuki didn't bother telling them, though.
Lei: It's another floor above us. Hah,hah...Talk about security, huh?
Ukyo talked to the water demigod, Sogetsu, Hazuki's other brother, to put
a somewhat curse on it. If he touches it...
Which he did. Lei-Fei clutched the handle tightly and began to pull.
He pulled and pulled but to no avail. As he was doing so, he heard a splashing,
gushing sound. He looked around. It seems to be coming from the...the walls
were opening...SPLASH! What seems like the ocean splashed through the walls,
which were actually somesort of trapdoor. It washed Lei-Fei off his feet
and carried him through the lobby...down the staircase...
Steve bumped into Vanessa, who bumped into Lei, who stopped abruptly.
They were gonna asked when he shushed them.
Lei: Hear that?
Ste: Hear what?
All of a sudden, an ocean of water came down the staircase, bringing
a yelping Lei-Fei with it. They tried to run, but it washed them off. Oh,
just to add to Lei's statement, it was design to head and stop only at
Ukyo's office...which was four more floors below them. And the stairs were
designed opposite to the other floor before it...
-
Ukyo and Heihachi was talking about business when heavy thuds and booms
interrupted them. Ukyo wanted to investigate alone, but Heihachi insisted
to come, hoping to see an enjoyable fight. Ukyo felt a bit awkward and
embarrassed as they walked to the next floor. There, they found the cause:
Pai and Hwoarang were punching, kicking, throwing and stomping at each
other. They rolled towards the door and out, almost knocking Ukyo and Heihachi
off. Heihachi seem delighted with it, though. Ukyo was about to speak when
he heard a splashing sound...
Too late. It carried him, Heihachi, Pai and Hwoarang with it. They
all screamed as it passed through the left and down the stairs. Finally,
it stopped dead at Ukyo's office. As if by magic, the ocean like water
turned into nothing more but thin plates of liquid on the floor. Ukyo was
sitting on the floor, his hands behind him supporting his body, his legs
open sprawled on the floor. Heihachi hit the wall, and was flat and stuck
there for a moment. Lei-Fei was lying on his back, staring at the ceiling.
His drenched robes were heavy he couldn't stand up. Lei, Vanessa and Steve
were piled up. Pai was on top of Hwoarang's stomach, though revolted by
him, was still recovering from shock.
Part 3
Ukyo slammed his wet fist on his desk. A fish slipped off his sleeves
and started twitching and jumping. He pushed it aside as he madly stared
at them, his soft blue, crystal eyes were now cold, steel gray. Green emition
of energy was released from them. He was furious.
Ukyo: Absolutely horrible! Complete disobedience! Such actions! Ohh...You!
You...! You imbeciles!
No one, not even Hwoarang, complained (though he was smirking). Everyone
was too wet and tired to reply. Heihachi rescheduled the meeting as he
wanted to leave immediately after the incident. Ukyo was the only one,
it seems, to even have the energy to shout.
Ukyo: You are really forcing me! You want to test my patience? Fine!
Lei, Vanessa, Steve, since you were only trying to help, leave! Now! As
for you, Lei-Fei, for snooping there, though you know it is forbidden,
a week of mopping ALL floors, except the 6th! NO BUTS! Say one more word
and I'll make it two. Rules are rules! No newbie or son-of-whoever can
thwart it! Besides, that will keep your mind off DEMONS! I'm quite sure
it will...GO! NOW! I'll give you more instructions tomorrow.
Lei-Fei left slamming the door behind. Next, Pai and Hwoarang stepped
forward, Hwoarang rolling his eyes, Pai lookig at the wall with an angry
expression.
Ukyo: You...I'm charging you with two cases!
Hwo: TWO? What-
Ukyo: First, for completely disobeying my orders! Second...for the
cause of my wipe off! Not to mention Heihachi's...
Pai: But-but...
Hwo: That is fucking unfair! We-
Ukyo: Are the reason we were consumed by the wave! If you hadn't been
fighting, we wouldn't have run up to your room, we'd be at the meeting.
If we hadn't run up your room, the wave would just have directed those
fools at the front of my office for me to find later! DON'T try to swear,
I might intensify your punishment.
Hwoarang and Pai were silent, the only sound being made was drips of
water from them.
Ukyo: And for your punishment, since you seem to have a natural attraction
for each other, a bigger room. A room where BOTH of you will be staying
in from now on!
Hwoarang and Pai looked at each other, and started complaining at Ukyo
we terror and horror on their faces.
Hwo: Is that a fucking joke? No way!
Pai: I'd rather die!
Ukyo: Hush! My verdict is final! That is your punishment. You don't
like it? Well, I can bind you both in a cell...Well? That's better. By
tonight, you will move in to the room at the left end of the third floor.
If, and don't think I won't, findout you're not together, I will send you
to a room for one person only! See how you'll live! And, detention for
a month. Meaning, you are to stay there from 8 in the morning to 6 o clock
in the evening. See how human I am, Hwoarang? You can still "work" with
your fellow army men in the streets by 9. You may invite people in, of
course, but they can only stay for 3 hours. You will not leave unless it's
important! Not even to buy something! Ask someone for it! Is everything
clear?
Hwoarang was going to say something but Ukyo's eyes really glowed and
sent off thin beams of green light as he repeated the question that he
stopped and murmured to himself. Pai was shocked and in a state of sheer
disbelief.
Ukyo: Good. Here are you keys. I'll be checking tonight.
As they got out of the office, they looked at each other, walked off
and said the same thing.
P+H: Oh brother!
Akuma's Report
And thus the punishments were being accomplished. Lei-Fei wore his
second outfit as he mops the floors so that it wouldn't be heavy on him.
As for Pai and Hwoarang, things are getting worst. Heavy thuds and shouting
could be heard at their room. They weren't allowed to fight, but they would
snatch, hiss or spit at each other. Once, Pai took the cord of Hwoarang's
sound system to stop all the rock music he was playing. They rolled all
over the room trying to snatch it from one another. Akuma came by and took
it while they were quarrelling, not noticing he was leaving. And the visitors
add up to the commotion. Lee and Xioayu would visit, whom Hwoarang's friends
would either jeer, insult or piss off and vice versa. The whole idea was
aig mistake, but Ukyo would embroider his way while listening to
their rackus.
Akuma went to Ukyo's office holding a folder one day.
Ukyo: Well? What say you?
Akuma: Ok, I'll start with the good news. Bonds, friendly bonds have
been created in most of these relationships: There's Pai, Xiaoyu and Lee;
Vanessa and Lei seem to be making a partnership in protecting Steve; M.
Law and Lau Chan are whipping up some receipts; Sarah, Nina and Christie
seem to be getting along fine; and Lion Rafale has a crush on Xiaoyu, I
don't know if that's good, but hell. Anyway, on the other side, Lei-Fei
is getting more curious by the minute about that room; stares at it at
a distance and asks questions.
Ukyo: Some people never learn...
Akm: Tell me about it. Anyway, there's also our top of the list worst
enemies, Pai and Hwoarang. Their last incident really caused a major disaster.
You were out, I believe, having lunch with Morrigan.
Ukyo: What's that?
Akm: Hwoarang tried to pull Pai's towel off in front of his gang member.
Fails, snatches her bra instead and they pass it around. Then, the inevitable...
Ukyo: WHAT?
Akm: Here. This was recorded by the secret recorder I hid somewhere
in the room, just in case, you know?
Akuma pulled a recorder and played it. They both listened. A sound
of a watery foot can be heard. Then the dialogue came about.
Hwo: Yeah well it would've been better if...(whistles)never thought
you had those. Man, you sure got white skin...
Pai: Shut up, you pervert!
Hwo: Hey! I'm only commending you! You should be glad I did! I thought
yours were as flat as Xiaoyu's.
The two men laughed. The louder voice Pai has definetely meant she
came closer (Ukyo covered his right ear and squinted an eye). Arguements
then they heard a sort of stop slap sound.
Akm: Hwoarang stops her slap, holds her wrist and...
Pai: What are you-Stop that!
They both seem to be struggling. She was talking in Chinese. Hwoarang
and the other guy were laughing. Some more sounds of struggle then...
Hwo: Ooh, what do we have here? Nice underwear...(sniff) what perfume
do you use?
Pai: GIVE ME THAT!
Hwo: And he passes...Ho!...and receives it...
Akuma stops the tape.
Akm: They pass it to each other. Pai gets furious and then another
deathmatch. Lee shows up and stops the whole thing, a bit angry with two
men around while she was wearing only a towel. Turns out Pai forgot her
robe before she entered the bathroom. Hehe. I think he bought her a set
of bathrobes afterwards.
Ukyo: Hmm...what else?
Akm: What else...let's see...oh, here's one. Anna is getting jealous
of Sarah and is seducing Jacky to get back at her. Here, also recorded
another...
Jin: I know, but how am I gonna get pass her brother, mom?
Jun: Oh, I'm sure they'll-
Akm: Oops! Hehe...wrong tape. Ok, here we go...took place in the laundry
room...sorry, but it's not full. Anna kept hitting the pause button by
accident, I think...playful hand she got...believe she was eating a lollipop
then...
Anna: So, you're her brother?
Jac: Yeah, I am.
Anna: What do you do?
Jac: I'm an indy car racer.
Anna: Umm...that's how I like my man. Fast and hard driven-
Akm: That's all. Damn! I got to change the position...
Ukyo: ...Anna, Anna. Why do you always use yourself to get what you
want? I have to keep these characters from diseases! From anything that
will harm them! (Sigh) What else?
Akm: Well, King and Wolf have set a royal rumble. LIVE TELECAST. I
think 3 weeks from now. Dunno, but I'll keep my ears open for that!
Ukyo: Hmm...anymore.
Akm: That's all I got. THe other characters I did not mention, nothing
special.
Ukyo: Thank you Akuma. You may go.
Akm: Well, spy agent Akuma the Werecat a.k.a Blacksheep signing off!
The Water and Fire Gods
Hazuki and Jin were taking a nice stroll through the woods. She hung
her head low, ashamed and guilty. Jin tried to cheer her up.
Jin: It wasn't your fault. He went there on his own-
Haz: Because I told him of it! Ooooh! Why am I so stupid? Why can't
I do things properly? Ukyo should have punished me for my idiocy!
She sat down the grassy earth. Tears rolled down her cheeks. Jin sat
down beside her.
Haz: M-maybe we really weren't created for this he tech world. Maybe
I should kust go back and stay-
Jin: Hazuki, Ukyo didn't punish you because it wasn't your fault! You
warned them! They're the idiots! Stop degrading yourself. Your doing great
on your job! Everybody would agree on that!
Haz: Y-you think so?
Jin: I know so. Besides, your a Kazama. We might not be related, but
I'm sure you got the ideals people who posses such name have, that includes
us.
Hazuki looked at Jin. She gave him a sweet smile as she wiped off the
tears on her face. It almost made Jin melt.
Haz: You know Jin...you remind me of my brother.
Jin: Which one?
He blurted out accidentaly. But either way, Jin didn't know to take
it as a compliment or as an insult. Hazuki's brothers were good men...to
a certain degree. The eldest, Sogetsu the water demigod, was solemn and
obedient. But his pride was as high as Ukyo's. He rarely takes favors unless
he gets something from it, especially if it doesn't concern his family
members. And he takes his ninja oaths seriously...TOO SERIOUSLY. The other
brother, Kazuki the fire demigod, is more friendlier, extreme and wilder.
A fun guy, that is, until you place Hazuki in the situation. He was overprotective
about Hazuki. He couldn't be blamed, since Hazuki was once captured by
a demon, but it seems to be turning into an obssession. When Jin and Ukyo
last saw him as they were to pick up Hazuki for her to work in the hotel,
a long conversation about her safety was inevitable. Jin thinks Ukyo was
no longer awake, his eyes closed and was only nodding. He wasn't sure,
since Ukyo often keeps his eyes shut, but he knew he wasn't taking this
seriously as Kazuki was. Then, afterwards, probably noticing Jin and Hazuki's
"closeness", he summoned him. Boy, did Jin get a lot of goosebumps! Kazuki
warned him that he'll also hold him responsible for Hazuki, and that if
he makes any funny move...Kazuki clutches a twig and bursts it into flames
in his hands. Jin wasn't able to walk straight for the next few hours.
But then again, he met very few girls like her. He wouldn't be surprised
to find out she was a long lost sister. She was so much like Jun. She was
like a diamond, a very precious one, in a mine, hidden underneathe the
earth ("I think I've been staying with Ukyo too long. This poetic lines...").
Maybe it is a risk worth taking.
Haz: ...so, if you'll look at it, both, actually! You're very caring
and loving, Jin. I appreciate that. Thank you.
He gave a faint smile.
Jin: Huh?
There was a rustling of leaves at the corner. Jin told Hazuki to stay
put as he check it out. Nothing. But in the bushes, a golden piece of cloth
was left in its torns. Jin took and examined it. He showed it to Hazuki
as well.
Jin: What do you reckon?
Haz: It...looks...familiar...hmm...
Jin was thinking of Xiaoyu actually, since Akuma rarely wears any clothes
with "girlie" color. And Xiaoyu likes him, he knows that. She must be jealous
and followed them to the forest.
Jin: C'mon. It's nothing that we should worry about. And if I'm correct,
it's definately nothing.
But he was wrong. After leaving, out of nowhere, our curious monk appears,
darting at Hazuki. "So, she knows how..." he thought. "She is my only way.
I must make her tell me everything. I must force her to help me!"
