LEGACY OF THE KAZUYA MISHIMA APPRECIATION SOCIETY!

[mojojojo]

LEGACY OF KMAS CHAPTER 14
SUBURBAN RUMBLE

The group turned to examine my claim and soon shared my terror as they looked upon what I saw.

"What the…?" said a startled Mo

"How could…?" spoke Ifritstar.

"But I…" Kuni stuttered.

"This can not be!" said Dave.

"Impossible…" KD stammered.

As objective as these statements were, it could not diminish the plain facts that stood before us. And those facts were now in the form of the recently cremated Tekken Force soldiers. They rose from their place as if the fatal sapphire inferno did not even happen. They were still smoldered but that did not deter them from their approach.

"KMAS members…you must…DIE!" spoke the soldiers in an infernal tone.

I was in utter disbelief at the horrible vision that was now advancing on us. I mean I am a necromancer and have seen the dead rise. But I sensed nothing of the taint of the undead. What troubled me deeply however was that before I could sense nothing, but this time I felt a growing power from dep inside these vile carcasses. I merely wondered what kind of experiments did that madman Heihachi perform on these creatures.

"It seems you're fight is not over" I said to the two ninjas.

"This isn't really the time DevilKaz!" said a concerned Mo.

"Is this what you sensed earlier?" said Ifritstar.

"Yes I'm afraid Looks like we will have to deal with them now".

"Would you girls mind terribly if we cut in on your fun?" I asked.

The ninjas smiled and Kuni said "Not at all".

"Thank you".

So it would be us seven against these twenty-five, mysterious and newly risen soldiers. The battle ground would be the abandoned suburbs. This would be the first true battle between the KMAS and the Tekken Force. I drew my guns as the dreaded soldiers menacingly approached. Mo had his sword ready and Dave had Nickel poised to charge. Ifritstar was still unable to summon Ifrit, so he stood prepared with his GunBlade. Kuni and KD had readied themselves for combat in the same fashion as before. The soldiers quit the stalker crap and finally charged towards us with new strength.

Now the fun starts…

EVENT: SUBURBAN RUMBLE
TRACK: SPARDA BATTLE 2 (Devil May Cry)

The ninjas jumped to the side and singled out a singled out a select few. Dave charged forward and cut down four soldiers where they stood. KD took on a group of five. Using her staff with such elegance, she struck and impaled her assailants. Kuni took on three using shadow like steps and using nothing but her bare fists, she was able to strike the vital points of the anatomy. Ifritstar decided to take on four by firing giant fire blasts from his GunBlade. Mo and I took on the remaining nine. Mo quickly ran on the sides of the decayed buildings and proceeded to thrust his blade at the throats of four before they even noticed he moved. While I blasted the remaining five with Ebony and Ivory.

The blasts from my guns were of black and white, consistent with my guns colors. I must confess, other than the consistency, the blasts had no particular meaning, aside from they looked pretty damn cool. The bullets were of dark steel that would penetrate almost all substances. Such was the case with the soldiers' feeble armor. I saw the blood splatter as they were struck. Yes, the battles I recently encountered were a little more exciting but nothing was more satisfying to me in conflict then the shedding of blood. Especially after shooting with excellent precision to their skulls. Oh it was to die for.

But my blood lust turned to shock as I saw the soldiers rising once again. I will say this, even if you don't die from impact, the pain instilled in these bullets should at least make you lose conciseness. But it was not to be. As if fully rejuvenated the soldiers continued their attack. One had taken me by surprise and flung me through a window of a nearby building.

Afterwards, they were able to hold my arms and triple team me. Shots were delivered to my gut and my face. For the first time my own blood was spilled as my lip was split and my forehead was literally busted open. I had never felt his kind of strength before. It was as if the Devil himself had been the power source for these inhuman minions. Their stamina and endurance far surpassed any of which I ad encountered. The same could be said for the others. Mo was able to dodge, but I could see that he was becoming rather frustrated cutting and hacking at their limbs over and over again. KD and Kui were beginning to exert themselves and become desperate as their blows, while devastating, did next to nothing to the soldiers. Dave was forcefully dismounted as the hacked soldiers he had fought utterly beat him down. Ifritstar was able to keep himself at a safe distance due to his projectiles but again the advancements of these creatures were endless. If we could not find a way to damage them, then we would be brutally destroyed. And since I could not sense their attacks, taking on the group would be excessively difficult.

My beating had continued with the soldiers pounding my chest, as if they wanted to punch my heart right through my back. As a fist went into my nose, I saw a familiar sword go through a soldier binding my arm, as Mo through the other off me. I struggled to stand as the others joined our side. Apparently Mo rescued Dave as well.

"You're welcome" Mo said.

"Cease these feeble attacks KMAS, you can not hope to hurt us!" spoke the deranged legion.

The fatally struck yet active soldiers once again had us cornered. Mo could've gone for longer but not that much longer. Kuni and KD were exhausted, Ifritstar was still without his aeon, Dave was trying to recover and I was beginning to become rather annoyed. Justthen I was struck with a solution so obvious that I was ready to smack myself for not thinking of it sooner. Usually I am quite merciless, but at he risk of being called a showoff, I'll admit hat I had gone soft on hese worthless husks by underestimating them and using my weakest weapons. I decided that it was time to stop having fun and take a more drastic and merciless approach.

"This battle is over" I spoke coldly.

"What? You would run away?" said Mo.

"NO! You fool! I will end this myself. All I want is for you guys to back off and let me handle this!"

"FINE! Let your arrogance destroy you!" shouted Mo as he walked away. The others followed.

"Good luck DevilKaz" Dave said as he backed away

"Don't die on us!" spoke Ifritstar

"Be careful grouchy!" I heard KD yell.

"Give em' one for me!" Kuni cheered

After I acknowledged with a roll of the eyes. I approached my assassins. As they neared, I unsheathed the Soul Reaver. I would not be deterred this time in using the monstrous weapon. Mercy was not an option. I must confess, I thought I would have used the blade sooner. Not because I thought I would have a hard time, but because I always loved ending a battle by stealing a certain vital part of my opponent. I guess I have grown soft over this period. Regardless, I felt it was long past the time to use the sword since I emerged from my chambers. The Reaver began to hum to life as the blade sensed its approaching victims. The soldiers once again went from a menacing stalk to a ravenous charge. As they neared I raised the mighty blade and struck the leading soldier…

It is very easy to tell when you've fatally struck something. Not by the sound it makes or by its movements but through its facial expressions. For I smiled sadistically as the soldier squirmed on the end of the blade its face warped in shock, pain and terror. Within mere seconds a bright blue flash was seen as a green shade was propelled out of the skewered carcass and was drawn into the vile blade. I may not have been able to hurt him outside, but his innards were just as vulnerable as any other creature. His soul was mine…

I turned my pleasant and death minded face to the other twenty-four soldiers. I rushed towards them and mercilessly swung my blade. And piercing their loathsome bodies, their souls were torn from their corporeal prison. Souls whirled around and screamed in an unholy lamenting chorus before being drawn into the blade. I laughed all the way through this hellish scene, and as the power of these souls merged with myself my wounds began to heal. My jaw wound was sealed and the gash upon my head began to close as my spilled blood washed away.

(End Event)

The now colorless soldiers fell to the ground, and I assure those reading, that they would not twitch again! The mournful symphony had ended and after a nice hot meal…heh, heh…I was back to 100% and ready for another round of them. Though that would be impossible at this point. I sheathed the Soul Reaver and returned to my now gawking (except Mo) companions. I sensed their growing fear and decided to provide a just able reason for the horrid scene just witnessed.

"If you had a better way, I suggest you say it now!"

They remained silent

"Just making sure. Now I won't feel guilty"

I started again through the woods and my friends cautiously followed with terror still embedded upon theit faces. I don't know why. All I did was have a snack…heh…heh…heh…

LEGACY OF KMAS CHAPTER 15
A DESPERATE SEARCH

As he emerged from Dark Forest, he reminisced of a recent evengt,

"Who the hell gives these people, driver's licenses. God Damn…I can't believe that. After all I've been through, it woulda been kinda pathetic to get run down by a van".

EVENT: A SEARCH FOR TRUTH
TRACK: CRYSTAL TEARDROP (Castlevania: SOTN)

This man, with a blue hoodie, hiked along the highway. His quest was a simple one. He sought one man, one who held the answers to his life, one who could end his suffering, through his destruction. His sources, what little he had, had led him to believe that this being dwelled within these lands. He had searched through a forest wreathed in flames, the shambles of an abandoned suburbs and a city eclipsed in eternal darkness. But all had led him astray. No clues or traces could be found of whom he sought. After retracing his steps back through the roads…and nearly becoming road kill, he traversed the lands east of the Dark Woods.

As he walked along the highway north of the rural area, where Ken and Stu made their home, he noticed a silhouette coming owards him. It was a new structure to his eyes. It wasn't a skyscraper, tower, church or cave, as he had witnessed before…it was an odd building not yet witnessed. It was a gas station. But more importantly, there was food! For this place was called the GAS 'n' Dine! Though the man was probably far from achieving his goal, there was no denying the fact…

"I'm freaking starving".

He came to the diner and walked inside. The place was empty save for the mechanics and cooks. The outside looked like your average diner and gas station, but the inside belied the outer appearance indeed. The rooms were more fancy and ritzy than any could imagine. Pallets of Regal Blue, Pure Red, Gold and White surrounded the wonderful are. There were dining halls and a dining counter/bar as well. He removed his hood and decided to sit at the counter. He sensed that the people were eyeing him. He had not really met anyone during his journey, especially during his travels through the abandoned suburbs. It was rather heartening to know that was some life in these lands. But it was odd how these people looked at him. They weren't threatening looks or hateful glares. They were gazes of awe and shock as if he were someone famous. A man came over to take his order.

"What d'ya have mack?" he said

"Do you have any specials?" the formerly hooded man spoke.

"We have…"" He looked up as he said this "Oh God! I'm sorry sir. I had no idea it was you!"

The man was intrigued in the sudden courtesy of the cashier. He had no idea for whom he had been mistaken for, but since he was in the mood for some good service, he decided to go along with it.

"It's quite alright. Could you please tell me your specials?"

"We have BBQ steak sirloin, Chicken fried burger with all the trimmings, Chicken ala King, Fried Chicken with choice of a honey mustard or BBQ simmer and glaze, Divine Beef Wellington, and sushi platter which comes with a shrimp basket. Our soups of the day are Wan Ton, Chicken noodle, Clam chowder and Beef. The salads include Italian, thousand island and or French dressing".

This was quite a variety of selections this restaurant had accommodated. And these were only the specials.

"So what will your pleasure be, Mr. Mishima?"

The man froze immediately at the mistaken identity.

"Wha…what did you say?"

"Mishima? Sir? You are Kazuya Mishima aren't ya?"

"No I am not. I apologize" the man spoke.

"I shoulda known. I knew you looked a little different…Wait! You're not…Jin Kazama are you?"

"Yes, that is correct" he acknowledged.

"Well at least I still have a tournament champion here!" he proudly said.

Jin smiled in appreciation of the compliment.

"So what are you doing here?" continued the waiter.

"I'm looking for answers. My father alone can give me them".

"Well it would be kinda hard to find him. No one's seen him since the tournament. I heard he was probably hear so I've been hoping to catch a glimpse of him at least".

"Yes I've searched all through these lands and haven't found a trace"

"Can I ask a question? What happened at the last tournament?"

"Well…"

Jin reluctantly told the waiter his tragic story, starting with the death of his mother, Jun Kazama, by Ogre's hands. He continued with his revenge against the God of Fighting in the King of Iron Fist III and the betrayal of Heihachi resulting in the emergence of Devil within him. His renouncing of the Mishima heritage, About discovering his father Kazuya. How Heihachi kidnapped and chained him in an unknown realm. How Kazuya defeated him in the tournament and the destruction of the Zaibatsu. And of his current goals to seek him out.

"Well I wish there was a way I could help ya, but like I said no one's ever seen him since".

"Well it was worth a try"

"Hey buddy, come over here" said a mechanic at a table.

Jin stood and approached the stranger.

"You said you looked all over these lands?"

"Yes"

"Did you try up north of here?"

"No, I didn't know there was anything there"

"Not much folks do. Up there is the city of Goddsand. It's quite a lively city maybe you'll find sumthin there".

Although it seemed farfetched and a long shot, it was the best lead Jin had through his quest.

"Thank you sir" he said as he rushed for the door. But a discomforting rumble remained in his stomach as he returned to the counter.

"Can I get the BBQ Sirloin please?"

"Coming up!"

Jin sat and possible consequences of traveling to this unknown location. What would he do if nothing was there. Even if Kazuya dwelled there, how would he go about it. The tournament was only a few months ago, so Kazuya would remember and would probably have the same intention to kill him. But whatever the case, Jin had to face his father one more time.

"I apologize for deceiving you earlier sir" Jin said.

"Ah don't worry about it! You probably needed some good service if you truly were out there goin to all them places".

"Yes. If I may ask, what happened here?"

"Well these lands used to be very life filled and vibrant. Some places still are but not many. Not to long ago Heihachi came here and said he was looking for a new place to build his company. I guess what you said, was the reason why"

"Wait. Heihachi? I thought he was dead?"

"I thought so to until I heard he was here too. Last I heard, he built his company on an island northeast off the coast of Goddsand".

Jin could not believe it. Now both Heihachi and Kazuya were at large. Two figures responsible for the havoc and chaos in his life. The devilish nightmares which plagued his nights were the results of the demon bestowed by is father and the fury from his grandfather's betrayal. With these thoughts haunting his mind Jin now had newly fueled anger in his heart which strengthened his resolve…Heihachi and Kazuya had to die…

The waiter returned. "Here you go Mr. Kazama. It's on the house!"

"Thank you for your kindness sir. I appreciate it" he said as he began to eat.

[mojojojo]

LEGACY OF KMAS CHAPTER 16
A REUNION OF OLD FRIENDS

"OK this has got to stop!" I yelled as the fearful and untrusting gazes were still upon me.

"All I did was save your sorry asses from death! I didn't see you guys coming up with anything!"

"Well we're sorry we don't have 'powers from hell' like you do DevilKaz!" said KD

"Yeah, seeing souls torn from bodies really weren't on our list of things to do today" spoke Kuni.

"No wonder why he doesn't have many friends" spoke Ifritstar.

"Nonsense, I have many friends, over 500,000 friends. See?" I brandished the Reaver and revealed the images of some of the captive souls within the blade. This really didn't help the current situation much, but it sure was entertaining for me.

"How did I not hear of such a vile weapon! If I did I would've destroyed or sealed it years ago!" Dave righteously proclaimed.

I saw Mo hold back his laughter throughout this entire scene. I knew he had forgiven me for my recent arrogance. He had forgotten, briefly, the terrible power bestowed upon my sword.

"Whatever, let's just go" I said trying to end this crap.

"We're this close so let's not sour our friendship now!" I said somewhat sarcastically.

We came to the natural area of the suburbs. This would be a humungous overstatement considering that there was nothing but lifeless trees charred and singed, with branches hanging by a literal thread. Nests of crows were seen in almost every decayed branch and I saw them menacingly glare with Death's eyes! I loved making new friends…

It was still in the dead of night and the suburbs certainly weren't becoming anymore glamorous. I still continued to ponder the terrible events of our last encounter. How could Heihachi have created such soldiers? They certainly weren't robots because they had souls and no cyborg could ever shed that much blood. But how could they have felt none of the pain which I and my comrades had inflicted upon them? All of our attacks were direct and fatal. How? While remembering these events I turned my attention to the injured Knight.

"Dave, how are you holding up?"

"I'm sorry…I am hurt…"

"You fought well and that is enough" spoke Kuni

"It's no use crying over it" Mo started "Knowing our luck, there are probably more Tekken Force soldiers out there. You'd best recover any way you can".

"DevilKaz, don't you have anything that can heal him?" said Ifritstar.

"I'm a necromancer not a saint!" I said, laughing to myself at the thought.

"It's alright…I'm sure I'll manage. I've had worse injuries. Mo is right, let's move on".

After that brief moment of uncharacteristic compassion, we continued our journey. As we passed through the cryptic scene I noticed a small light in the distance. There was obviously something of interest, because there was not a light to be found in these suburbs until now. As we approached the mysterious beacon I sensed a familiar scent of mortality, more than one at that. There were quite a few questions buzzing around my head at this time. I wondered if the beings I sensed were former occupants of these lands or spies for the Tekken Force. I actually hoped it was a friendly force, but considering all the bullshit that has happened to me, it seemed rather unlikely. We would soon find out as we made our way to the small illumination. We had found ourselves in a small clearing and realized that the area was the site of a previously used camp. That light had been a campfire. But what puzzled me was where were the humans which I had sensed. I could of sworn I sensed something earlier. There were none to be found. My guess is they heard us and fled or saw the soul demonstration I had performed and fled in terror…not much of a difference in results but it was the most likely.

"I wonder what was here?" asked KD

"Well who ever it was, they certainly didn't stick around for us to find out" Dave said as he pointed to the trampled ground. "It seemed that whoever was here was in quite a hurry to leave" .

"It wasn't the Tekken Force, that's for sure" Kuni said.

"What makes you think that?" Ifritstar asked

"Well think about it! I'm pretty sure they didn't need a fire to keep warm. They have enough padding in their armor for insulation. That's T-Force technology" Kuni stated.

"She's got that right. With all that armor I woulda been sweating even if you through me in Arctic waters. Wait. You know of the technology the Tekken Force uses?" Mo stated.

"Well I do study it a little"

"Then could you tell us what those creatures were that attacked us?"

"Honestly…I have no idea" she said truthfully.

"Listen, I think we should find out who was here so they don't surprise or follow us to the City" I said.

"Good thinking" KD agreed.

The group split up and searched the area. Looking for any traces of who recently occupied the site. I stood my ground and looked from left to right to survey the area in total. Suddenly I felt the same beings again from earlier. They were moving in circles around us. I counted about three. But as quickly as I sensed them, one of them disappeared. I unsheathed the Sparda sword and rose it slightly to the right of my neck. Not to assume a battle stance but to prevent a giant spear from piercing my said vital part. The force behind the weapon was indeed strong even though I parried with one hand and considering that the possessor was mortal. My team turned quickly to witness what made the giant CLANK sound. They saw me in my current predicament and in a matter of seconds two more beings leapt from nowhere. One attacked Mo with a flying kick. But as expected, Mo slightly stepped to the side and saw him fly past. As the assaulter landed he turned around quickly to attack again but instead saw Mo with his sword pointed at his neck. The third being brandished a stiletto knife and was now using it to try and disembowel KD-Mitsu. The female fighter attacked very violently and gave KD a very rough time, but within moments KD quickly unsheathed her staff and swept the fighter of her feet and pointed her staff down to prevent her from getting up. This whole scene happened in roughly 25 seconds. These three had obviously tried to trap us and leave the open campsite as bait to lure us in. But now it was they who were the prey. And now it was my turn to punish my assailant. I turned to look at the strong, foolish and possibly soon to be dead warrior and continued to parry the spear.

This man, who was the supposed leader of this trio, was clothed in pilot's attire. A blue, denim pilot's jacket, burgundy shirt a tan scarf and pale green pants. He wore long work gloves, brown work boots, and goggles upon his forehead. The man himself was rather scruffy looking, stubble chinned and had blond hair and blue eyes. I finally deflected spear and stuck the Sparda sword to his throat. But he immediately blocked with his spear. This man was certainly no amateur at combat.

"Try again! Little boy" He said in a gruff drill sergeant-like voice.

We ended up in a weapons duel soon after. We each took our turns parrying and deflecting attacks. It was good to actually find a worthy mortal challenger after so long. This continued until we both ended up with our weapons pointed at each others throats. The man leapt back and then leapt into the air. He began to plummet with his spear downward. So the fool wanted to impale me huh? But this attack would not be easy to block. He came down with such force that would rival an anvil dropped from the top of a building. I manage to block his attack with Sparda, but it most definitely required more then one hand.

"Heh, you ain't so bad yougin!" he again spoke

I suddenly sensed some familiarity within this human. I didn't know why until it struck me as hard as a brick. There was but one person I knew who dared to call me kiddie names like youngster and kid! And I could not believe he actually stood before me. He was the oldest member of KMAS and someone who stood by me even during the darkest of times…

"Cid Highwind" I said as I lowered my sword.

"Yeah and who the hell are you?" he asked sternly as he lowered his weapon.

"You know me very well. I am DevilKaz"

He stood there still looking at me hatefully and I stood with a confident half-smile on my face. He glared at me…and then extended his hand and I did the same.

EVENT: OVERDUE REUNION
TRACK: CID'S THEME (FFVII)

"What are the odds in hell that I'd find you here of all these god forsaken landscapes. Then again knowing you, you probably bought this damn place already". Cid began as he perched his spear upon his shoulder. The shaft of the spear was of a violet-blue color and it's blade was a golden yellow. There was a giant red attachment connecting the staff and blade. The end of the shaft had an aqua green end. It looked kinda like a half halberd design since there were two axe-like blades below the primary spear head

"Very funny. Actually I already own a graveyard south of the Citadel, south from here"

"Heh still always the death freak eh?"

"Still always the loud mouth?"

"Heh Got me there! HAHAHA"

We began to laugh as the others looked on.

"OK Why is he laughing with the enemy?" Ifritstar asked

Upon hearing him I turned around to give my group the clear signal.

"It's alright guys they're KMAS!" I said

My comrades had let up the fallen fighters and now I looked upon them. The male fighter had fiery hair, wore a ripped purple sleeveless shirt, and green pants. He too had goggles upon his head and a pair of black sneakers. The female fighter with the knife, wore tatty jeans, with a pair huge of cowboy boots and a black studded belt. She had a black leather jacket and a pendant around her neck with a blazing red stone in it. Her hair was waist length and dark brown with a violet streak in it.

"Please excuse the violent intro" spoke the male fighter

"We didn't know what to expect when you came here! We already hid from the Tekken Force soldiers and didn't want to get spotted" spoke the female.

"All is forgiven Ron" I said to the male warrior.

"Wait! How did you know?"

"Come now! After all your mishaps with Cid I knew you two were traveling together. However who are you?" I asked the unnamed assailent.

"Well you should know me too! I'm Vicci!"

"Well we can see Kazuya was right in choosing you. You're quite the vicious one!" said Ifritstar.

"Watch it! Or I'll stick this knife where the sun don't shine!"

"Please let's not fight!" Dave said "We're fortunate enough that we stumbled upon a friendly group now let's not ruin it now!"

Dave. Ever the peace maker. Then again we needed one badly! With this many short fused people traveling together who knew when we would all go off.

"Why don't you guys get to know each other a little before we head off?" I said.

"What are you going to do? You're up to something!" Mo accused

"Why do you think that?" I said innocently

"You're acting to nice!" Mo said

"Give me a break will ya!" I said

"That's Cid isn't it?"

"Yes!"

"Oh, well that explains everything!" Mo said as he turned and headed back. I went to finish my conversation with Cid.

"Yer friends just as crazy as you?" Cid boasted

"Yes and I can see your no different when it comes to selecting them, especially Ron"

"Why the hell do you say that?"

"He must be out of his mind to come on this journey!"

"Ah, don't feel bad for the kid. Yeah he's an idiot but he's got a good heart. Rare thing in this shit-hole of a world! But you can feel sorry for his stupidity. The dummy blew our cover twice when we were dodging the Tekken force, got us lost in FireWood Forest and more recently came up with this brilliant ambush. So feel bad all you want for that".

"So your journey has been rough on your patience too I see".

"Why what the hell happened to you?"

"Well let's just say that I met a few other members before them and those encounters weren't exactly as friendly as this!"

"You look pretty damn alright to me. What happened did you scratch your pinkie?"

What could I have told him? I stole the souls of twenty five soldiers and regenerated myself? Eh…Why not?

"You're a sick little kid you know that?"

Yep. Right on schedule….

"You just swing that sword around and you get their souls? Well I'll be sure to stay 100 miles from you when that happens, I really can't trust yer aim yet"

"Gee thanks!"

"I'm just messing around!"

"Ha, ha, ha. Speaking of combat what was with that jumping move?"

"Oh that was just yer basic Boost Jump!"

"Basic?"

"Yep there's plenty more where that came from. The Venus Gospel here" he said pointing to his weapon "Can let me focus as little or as much energy as I need to finish off any scum I want".

"That's pretty cool. So why are you joining us?"

"Well Kaz came and asked me and Ron, we met Vicci on the way to FireWood and that's pretty much it!"

"I see. I must ask, did Kazuya offer you anything in exchange for this escapade?"

I had to ask. This question has burned in my mind since I met Mo. I knew by traveling with him that simple loyalty was not enough. I had my own agenda for joining as you know and didn't need anything other then that. And Dave simply wanted to end Heihachi's foul terrors, but someone like Mo would have needed something more.

"Yes there was one thing." He said a tad more calmly.

"What?"

"The promise to see the world. I've lived in this shit infested rat hole for long enough I want to see what's out there! Past these stupid forests and old ruins. To take to the skies and look down on all of Earth's creations"

"And in your case, spit on them"

"Hey watch it kid! Alright we've bullshitted log enough. We better go back and see if our buddies hae killed themselves yet".

"Good idea"

We went back to find our group looking a little more calm. It appeared as though they got priorities straightened and all that shit done. So now Cid and his group would be joining us bringing the count to…Ugh…nine. I hate traveling in groups…

(End Event)

LEGACY OF KMAS CHAPTER 17
THE FINAL ROAD

Roughly two hours from dawn was my best guess as we continued through the grim suburbs. Not even the most brightest of lights could ever restore even a glimpse of this wasteland's former glory. We traveled now in one hell of a large group. The sooner we got to Dark City the sooner I could breathe again.

"Do we even know where we're going" I asked.

"I should hope so, Dark City right?" Vicci said.

"I meant if we're going the right way!" I said a little annoyed

"Cool it DevilKaz! I know what you meant. We should be coming up to the highway that bypasses the suburbs and leads straight into Dark City".

"You know the areas of these lands well?"

"Yeah I've seen and walked them once or twice"

"Good, then tell me this. Which way is the quickest way to this road?"

"That way" she said as she pointed northeast of our location.

"Is that the only way?" I asked again with a touch of anger

"DevilKaz! What is your problem!" Mo asked

"Listen boy, Vicci's pretty damn trustworthy quit the interrogation crap!" Cid demanded

"Just answer the question!" I asked rather loudly.

The rest of the group was rather curious to my hostility but as you readers should know by now I always have a reason.

"To my knowledge yes. You happy tight ass!" Vicci responded.

"No.." I said.

"What is your problem?"

"We can't go that way!"

"Why not?" Dave asked

"Because we're about to be trapped"

No sooner did I say this the thud of footsteps came from no where. And from the shadows of the desiccated trees poured forth the Tekken Force. Make no mistake, these were not the same soldiers which we defeated earlier. These were new soldiers wanting to destroy us. They surrounded us in a fashion similar to the previous ambush against Kuni and KD. I counted fifty soldiers this time. Their armor was similar in style which meant that only one squadron was dispersed in this area. But these soldiers were indeed similar to the ones slaughtered earlier. Which means that they had that same vile power of resurrection. Which meant we were in one massive heap of trouble.

"Heh, these are the same soldiers that were dogging us before" said Cid

"Sorry Cid. I coulda swore we lost em" said Ron

"Quit your cryin'! Ain't nothing cept you fucked up…again!"

"DevilKaz, Mo. Are these the same kind of soldiers from before?" Ifritstar nervously asked.

"Yes, no question about it" Mo said.

"Members of KMAS, surrender now and accept your deaths! " A soldier spoke.

"Wait hold your fire!" the leader said.

"Permission to ask why, sir?"

"We were told to be on he look out for two members here at the suburbs, I count nine"

"So we get more credit for annihilating them as well sir" spoke another soldier"

"Don't you remember fool! We were given direct orders from General Beng himself that one must be taken alive!"

The name he spoke went through my mind and my heart like a sharp dagger. Time had no meaning to me as I stood there with that name flashing before me. It was a name from the past. A name well known to my life and one very much hated. Beng…

"By order of General Beng and Heihachi Mishima will the one called DevilKaz please show himself"

"What the hell's so special about you?" Cid whispered

"I don't know, apparently I'm a celebrity" I answered "I guess they don't know about you Mo"

"Yes very fortunate for me, but we better think of something fast!"

See unlike KD we didn't know how to dodge twenty five different barrage of bullets let alone fifty. So we had to find another way to escape. It would take to long to destroy all the soldiers with the Reaver and by the time I finished all the humans in the group save KD would be dead.

"Once more, he who is DevilKaz come forth and you shall be spared. Speak now or all of you shall be eliminated"

I came forth and showed myself.

"I am the one you seek"

"Are you crazy?" said KD

"Oh, I suppose you think it would be noble to die as a team?" I said

"Nobler then betrayal" said Dave

"I knew he was no good!" said Vicci.

"Oh that stings. Do you really think I'm risking my life for the sake of you worthless fools?"

"You would truly sell out your friends!?" accused Kuni

"Friends!? You mean you? The same friends who made me fight that idiot poster alone? The same friends who said nothing in my defense and sat back to let Saiyan Rage ban me from that site? "

"But I thought Cid helped you!" said Ron

Cid eyed me the entire time and finally said "I got nothing to say to backstabbers" and then smiled.

"I'm through chatting. Come take me where you will and dispose of them for all I care" I began to walk away.

"Tekken Force, READY, AIM…" the leader shouted

"FI-UGH…"

A familiar sword went through the leaders chest and as the wielder pulled it from the torso the 49 other soldiers fell. The leader fell as well and the wielder sheathed his weapon.

"I knew you'd come through Mo!" I said

"How could you doubt me" he responded

"Well there were the odds you would trip" I joked.

"Shut up!"

"You can stop staring now" I said to the rest of the group.

"Why didn't you tell us?" asked Dave

"It had to be convincing" Mo replied

"Well we don't have a perfect record, Mo. Cid knew of it" I said

"How did you know" Mo asked

"I can smell bullshit from 2,000 leagues under the sea! Plus DevilKaz can't bullshit for shit!" said Cid

"Speaking of bullshit" I said as I observed a twitching arm "we better get moving and quickly before they get up. And I suggest we run NOW!"

EVENT: ONE LAST CHASE
TRACK: NIGHT OF FATE (Kingdom Hearts)

With a few second head start, we ran northeast to the highway Vicci spoke of. With Death prone to rise at any given second, haste was not an option! Dave rode Nickel, while the rest of us ran. Mo of course didn't have a problem with this but the rest did as the highway was still quite a few yards away. I ran behind the group to stop any closing soldiers. I soon felt that same chilling sensation from our previous Tekken Force encounter and I knew that the infernal creatures had once again awoken. So it seemed that upon death the monsters within them would arise and the infernal power would be unlocked. But there was little time to reflect as the road to Dark City was now within sight. I saw Mo and Dave reach it safely and turn to travel down the final road. The others reached it as well and began to follow. I turned but once to see if any were gaining and as I did I had reached the highway. No sooner did I set foot on the road a bright light had approached me.

"STOP THE VAN!" I heard a female passenger cry out.

The van came within mere inches of plowing me into the pavement. I dove to the side and when the van stopped in front of me I heard more voices speak.

"What's the matter?" spoke the man in the passenger seat

"That's him, the one I saw! He's one of them!" spoke the female

"Are you sure?" spoke the driver.

"Yes! I know it!"

"That's all I needed to hear!"

The driver and passengers emerged from the van. One was an Elvis look alike with blond hair, the other had dark hair and both wore these rocker like clothes. The woman wore a dark cloak and had a pet tiger by her side. To be honest, they looked like a bunch of punks but they were armed for battle as the blond haired one and the female armed their swords and the other appeared to have…drumsticks? Regardless, these foolish children and their kitty had no idea what they were doing.

"Hold it right there you!" yelled the blond fighter.

"I don't know who the hell you are, what the hell you want, why the hell you've stopped me, where the hell you came from, or how the hell you know me" I said as I pointed Ivory at the fools "But you'd better get the hell out of my way before I move all four of you from this road and six feet under!"

"DevilKaz, this is no time to fool around! We must go!" Mo yelled as the rest of the group saw my procrastination.

"Whoa! Your DevilKaz!" The blond one spoke.

"Yes I am you idiot! Now let me pass"

"Ken what are you doing!" said the fighter with drum sticks.

"It's alright Stu they're all KMAS!"

"Really?" said the female fighter.

"Yeah! Hey DevilKaz you know me right? I'm Ken, that's Red Tiger and he's Stu"

"Look not to be rude, but we really don't have time to chat there is quite a large group of demon soldiers coming to kill us and we have to get the fuck out of here!" I said trying to be as friendly as the situation demanded.

"Well why didn't you say so? You guys want a ride?" Ken asked

"Are you crazy we can't fit all them!" yelled Stu.

"Don't worry I have a ride" said Dave

"I can be there before you on foot anyway" spoke Mo

"Well the van has room for four more, who can't go fast on foot?" asked Ken

We had to really think on this. But not for long as I turned and saw the dreaded legion advancing towards us. Without haste I came up with a plan.

"Kuni, can your ninja magic allow you to get there quickly?" I asked

"Yeah, I'm sure I can" said Kuni

"Mo can run and Dave has Nickel, so that leaves Ron, Vicci, KD, Ifritstar and Cid"

"Wait what about you?" asked KD

"Trust me I have a way" I said

I could tell that after seeing my talents that they did not even want to ask what it was. And it was a good thing they didn't because it would've been rather hard to explain without scaring them more.

"Well the hell with this! You guys just go. If I have to run I'm runnin!" said Cid

"Cid are you sure?" asked Ron

"Look you dumb ass we don't have time for ifs, buts or mights. Now all the rest of ya get the hell outta here!" Cid demanded.

"Alright! Good luck guys" said Ken as he started up the van.

"We'll see you there" said Red Tiger

As the van started up the rest climbed into the van and they were off. Kuni began to leap away with impressive speed as the denizen closed in.

"Dave you're still too injured, you'd better go while you can!" I advised.

"Are you certain DevilKaz?"

"Yes we will handle it!" Mo said

"Very well. May the light protect you" Dave said as he motioned Nickel to speed down the road.

So now it was us three. Cid, Mo and myself. Against a legion of fifty warriors. I love how these odds just seem to get better and better for me. Wouldn't you readers agree? The Reaver was unsheathed once again as the army drew near. Cid made the first attack and charged forth. He leapt into the air in the same way as before but this time he had more energy gathered into that peculiar weapon of his. He descended upon the center of the army and as he crashed down upon the ground a giant azure blast erupted and all of the soldiers were strewn across the grounds.

"Pah! Ain't nothing but scum to a Hyper Jump" said Cid triumphantly.

But like before the soldiers arose as if no attack had ever occurred.

"What the HELL" shouted Cid.

Mo quickly rushed forth to cut down the legion. Cid and Mo work together to stun them while I delivered the killing blow. I was able to destroy ten of them and their souls were pulled screaming into the phantom blade. But we hit a great snag when a random soldier actually pulled Mo's leg as he sped by allowing the soldiers to gang up on him. As Cid rushed to help, another soldier caught him by surprise and dragged him away from the other captive. I now remained with the task of rescuing them from the remaining forty. But there was no way I could destroy that many in time. Unless…

I had decided to do this now with two trustworthy people here rather then make a spectacle of myself again. Reaching into the deepest reaches of my soul I unlocked a sleeping power within. I brought it out in full force! My eyes gleamed an infernal red. My hair turned white with power and my body turned black as brimstone and crimson veins grew onto my skin. Two black bat wings sprouted from my back and a third eye, or as Mo had instructed me, the Jagan had grown upon my forehead. In truth the only option I had was to summon my demon form to vanquish these foes quickly enough. This also by the way, was the way I would travel to Dark City. I'd fly there. By the way for you technical readers this transformation was not permanent so I could not fly all the way here from my cemetery.

I raised the Reaver above my head and filled the blade with my demonic powers. As I previously stated the Reaver feeds on all energies. If I could fill it with enough energy the blade could immediately vanquish all forty soldiers without delay. Black and red lightning flowed into the sword and the Reaver changed from bone white and silver to an infernal crimson and I whirled the blade in the air and let it go. With my powers bestowed upon it, the Reaver found its way to my enemies. It flew like a buzz saw through the hides of the soldiers very rapidly and their very bodies disintegrated. The Reaver returned to my hand with ease and their souls followed shortly. Cid and Mo rose and saw the creature standing before them. Mo was pleasantly surprised and Cid was in shock. The very reactions I thought I'd get.

"Let's go. And don't tell anyone what you saw!" I spoke in my new demon voice.

I really did not need any paranoid KMAS members knowing that I could do this. Mo nodded and sped to the city. I offered Cid a ride and he reluctantly accepted. I simply told him it could be a preview of what's to come if Kazuya fulfilled his promise. I spread my wings and lifted myself into the air. I hovered over Cid and picked him up by his hands. And with that we flew off to meet our leader and the rest in the bowels of Dark City.

LEGACY OF KMAS CHAPTER 18
A PLAN UNFOLDS

EVENT: THE AFTERMATH OF FAILURE
TRACK: SHIN-RA CORPORATION (FFVII)

The General returned to his quarters. It had indeed been a stressful few days for him. This was not brought on because of the hunt for the KMAS or of Heihachi's warnings, but because of one being that roamed the lands outside of this isolated fortress, a being who was of great impact on the stressful General's life, one who incurred the utmost hatred of the Tekken Force leader, and one who of all people had to remain alive for his master's purposes. The General knew he was out there somewhere along with his other accursed brood and their disgraceful leader Kazuya. He also knew that this being had the same if not more feelings for the General in return. Regardless, General Beng knew that DevilKaz was out there. And he knew that the inevitable event of encounter was fast at hand. It brought some comfort to Beng that he would finally be able to vanquish his foe once and for all, but the fear of his own death still weighed heavy on his heart. For t had been years since the two had last seen each other and without knowledge of improvement the General would be fighting blind. But the same could be said for DevilKaz, he thought to himself. Indeed, when the conflict took place, it would be one of monumental chaos and destruction.

But now it was finally a time where the General could take his mind off all this. He entered is chambers as he did every moment at this hour. It was rather early in the morning and near inconceivable to think that anyone could actually start to rest at this hour. But when you're the leader of a grand force of militia like Beng was, just an extra minute of rest would be a blessing. The General's chambers were that of a glorious throne room. A crimson carpet greeted his entrance and led him through his decorated hallway of paintings and windows draped of similar color. And at the end of the hall was a grand circular room. This room consisted of seven doorways. The first six were passages which led to he rest of the Big Seven's Chambers. An imprint of their respective elements was emblazed upon each door. And above the doors were monitors that would serve as a visual communicator, between a Seven member and their General, At the end of the throne room stair case that led to the throne where the General made his area of living. Behind and to the right of this throne was the seventh door that led to his master Heihachi's chambers. Being the personal body guard and right hand man to such a prestigious man usually meant you had to guard the one and only door leading to him. Even if you had to live next to it. Such dedication would be admirable to most human beings.

The General climbed the staircase and sat in his throne. He leaned back in a comfortable position and finally was able to enjoy this time of relaxation. He rested his eyes and began to drift of into a welcoming slumber. But just as easily as he fell into it, he was pulled unwillingly from it from a loud, yet familiar beeping noise. He rose angrily and walked to the source of this nuisance. He walked down to the chamber doors and stood in front of a golden door with a lightning bolt upon it's surface. He signaled the beeping monitor to turn on and within seconds the vision of the Seven member appeared.

"What reason have you to disturb me at this hour, Major Electashock?" the angered General demanded.

"I'm sorry for the interruption sir. But I must inform you. My entire Super Force Squadron was completely annihilated!" said the Major.

"What are you talking about?" Beng asked rather curiously.

"My platoon which I sent to deal with the two KMAS members sir. The experimental soldiers, they are all dead!"

"How can that be? No pain can ever be inflicted upon them! And death is impossible even if you stab them in the heart!"

"But sir, my scouts just confirmed it. All seventy-five members were found dead across the Suburbs of Dark City! There was certainly a battle but from the looks of the soldier's corpses they were pretty severe wounds upon them!"

"You are trying my patience Major! It's bad enough I have to take the rap for your and the rest of the Seven's constant failures! But hearing the failures of our master's greatest experiments is NOT SOMETHING I'M PREPARED TO EXPLAIN!!!!"

"Then don't" said a voice from behind him.

The General turned and saw his master, Heihachi standing before him. Heihachi was rather displeased to hear he recent news. Yet he was strangely calm. He walked by the General and posed a rather strange question to the Major.

"Tell me, what were the skin tones of the soldiers, Major?" Heihachi asked

"Sir, why do you want to know that?" General Beng asked

"Silence General. You've already ruined my day by waking me and with the news of my Super Soldiers deaths. Insubordination would not be very wise at this point! I ask again, Major, what were their skin tones".

"Well a report states that the soldiers skins were as white as a sheet as if the life was sucked right out of them!"

"Ha, ha, ha! As I thought! Everything is coming together perfectly!"

"Sir, is it right to be so confident" the Major continued "You're mightest foot soldiers were completely mutilated and the KMAS may be approaching sir!"

"Believe me Major I know what I'm doing! Thank you for the information you are dismissed"

General Beng turned off the monitor and asked his leader…

"Sir with all do respect. Why did you take that so well?"

"Let's just say my plan is coming together more perfectly then I could possibly imagine. I'll tell you this now, it was DevilKaz who was responsible for the soldiers deaths! Him and that infernal sword of his was the only thing that could so easily overcome such opposition. And with his fusion with the Devil Gene, it made him all the more likely to destroy them".

"Ah yes, the Devil Gene! Such an honorable advantage" said Beng sarcastically.

"Yes, I know what you mean" said Heihachi

"I still don't understand sir. You've proven on occasion that a normal human can overcome the Devil Gene. Why are you so obsessed with finding it?"

"Power is great but greater power is even greater" spoke the Zaibatsu owner.

"I see"

"Yes. Oh and by the way, you're working over time so get yourself together. We're going on a little trip".

Heihachi pulled a cellphone from his pocket and spoke into it.

"Reiko? Have the chopper ready for departure in half an hour, General Beng and myself will be arriving shortly" he said and then hung up.

"Sir where are we going?" said the General.

"To the Research and Biological Facility" answered Heihachi.

"Ah, you wish to improve the soldiers sir?"

"To hell with the super soldiers! They are well enough to destroy anything! It is time to initiate the final stage of my plan and ensure my victory once and for all. I'll explain on the way. And General, this is a crucial part of the plan. If anything goes wrong for any reason I'm going to have your position and your life! Do you understand?"

"Yes sir…"

"Good now go make sure the chopper is ready! Dismissed!"

The General left his chambers…as well as any hope of getting sleep and went to the Zaibatsu chopper.

[mojojojo]

LEGACY OF KMAS CHAPTER 19
THE JOURNEY ENDS

Dark City…

EVENT: A CITY ECLIPSED
TRACK: BLOODY TEARS (Castlevania: Chronicles)

The long road had finally ended. And now our destination laid within but a few feet away. Dawn had just broke over the horizon and boy was it a sight to see. After all the hardships and bullshit at least it would be a nice day. I dropped Cid on the outside of the City. He wanted to walk. Nothing personal, he just didn't trust me flying through the city and having me being careless and bashing him into a random building. Ain't he such a trusting friend? Anyway, I did just that and took flight once again. I wanted to see this place from above while I still could. Without haste I flew into the City, and what greeted me was a sight of unimaginable proportion. I could've sworn it was day break as I entered but as I entered the city it was as black as the night. I went back to the boundary of the City and realized that I wasn't going crazy. This city was actually eclipsed in eternal darkness. I was utterly astounded that such locations were within traveling distances. I should remember after all is done to buy these lands for myself.

The skyscrapers of the city were illuminated so beautifully and the highways, malls and food courts would rival the Vegas Strip. I flew to the skies of the city and perched myself upon the highest building. I surveyed this newest location and discovered that despite it's peculiar sense of surroundings, this place was quite populated. Night clubs would definitely be the top business here. I guess these were just normal people who just liked the night a lot…OK you readers come up with a better answer, because I was clueless. The city itself was quite enormous which meant it would be hard to find our meeting place. Hard for a human anyway. From my vantage point I was able to locate the warehouse district which laid just northwest of my location. I took flight once again and landed right at the center of the district. I thought it best to revert back to my normal self for now. I once again sealed my powers, my hair was restored to it's raven color and my skin was back to its usual pale tone. With myself restored I searched for the correct warehouse. Kazuya had instructed us to meet in warehouse 15. And I was near warehouse…195. It was quite a large distance. And of course leave it to me to land near the warehouse miles from the right one. Oh well, I guess this required an extra hop, skip and jump. And I did just that I hopped to warehouse 137, skipped to warehouse 75 and then jumped right in front of warehouse 15. What a waste of time…

I arrived in front of the said structure and found Ken's van, as well as Dave's Horse outside. Mo was waiting outside for me.

"Well, this certainly is a lovely meeting spot. Don't you think?" Mo asked.

For the warehouse we stood in front of was the most oldest, run down and dirtiest one I this entire district. But honestly it was a rather large improvement over the suburban houses we encountered. We saw Cid arrive just in time.

"Honestly, I am really surprised you don't own all of this DevilKaz!" Cid said

"Well if Kazuya's granting requests then I may just as well ask him for this!" I said.

"Listen we can chat about who wants what later! Let's just head inside!" Mo demanded.

We ventured inside the moldy building and inside was a large vacant room. No doubt the rats had rented the place for the night. I could hear them scurry along the dripping pipes and decayed walls. Of course when you've dwelled in a land of death for so long, this becomes a vision of paradise. At the end of the large room was an elevator. Apparently the place to meet was below this lovely area. We entered the elevator and saw that there was only a down button and a floor counter. We pressed down and descended to the bottom floor as Kazuya had instructed.

"So what do you make of all this DevilKaz?" Cid asked

"You really asking the wrong person Cid" I said. After being banned, having my own members fight me, discovering the presence of the Devil Gene, disturbing a few members with the Reaver and all the BS with the Tekken Force soldiers, it was really hard to make anything out of it.

"However, I know that Kazuya wasn't kidding about needing our help. I just can't help but wonder what other surprises Heihachi has in store for us. It's clear to me now that Heihachi knows of us. I honestly don't know what to expect!"

"Ah quit yer bitchin' DevilKaz! You saw how we handled the Tekken Force!" Cid said

"Oh you mean how they ganged up on you and how I finished the off saving you two?"

"Heh, very funny smart-ass!"

"You see? We had trouble with fifty. Imagine if there were 100 maybe 500 of those monsters? I don't think I could save you all!"

"DevilKaz, do not frighten the mortal e may have shorter time then he thinks" Mo said.

"Hey listen shortie, I'm bound to shove this spear up yer ass if you keep sharpshooting me! I'll rub your face in wild dogs crap til you don't know which end is up!" Cid angrily shouted!

"Hmph. Yell all you want, just be prepared and not overconfident when the time comes to face such a legion!" Mo remarked.

"Yer friends are freaks like you, DevilKaz. Talk like you to!"

"More alike then you know" I thought to myself.

"You say something?"

"Huh, no. How far down are we?" I asked.

We looked at the floor counter and realized that we were now thirty-five floors underground! And the counter continued. We continued our descent and Cid broke the silence.

"Well listen, I've been thinking! If there really are such freaks out there, then I'm guessing it's gonna take a lot more then your little Reaver trick DevilKaz"

"What are you getting at Cid?" I asked

"Well I think we should make a pact. Always watch each other's backs ya know? Just so no scum will try and jump us like before, remember shortie?"

"Yes I do! Listen old man if your suggesting that I'll run out on you during a critical time…"

"No! NO! I'm saying that we should just be careful when the going gets rough ya punk!"

"Very well! You have my promise" Mo complied.

"And mine!" I said

"Heh! Now that's the kind of team work we need to put Heihachi's wrinkled ass six feet under!"

Cid was nothing truthful on that statement. We were complete strangers to each other and I had already fought a few of my own members. It would not be easy to gain the trust of so many people at once but I had to make sure that I didn't get ahead of myself and freal everyone out with my powers and such. Ugh…..this was going to be hell!

The elevator came to a sudden stop on floor 66. I should've known I was in for a surprise as soon as that elevator door opened. I don't know why I didn't. The doors slid open and within I beheld a room encased in steel. For a room to be buried this far underground it was expected. These chambers looked like that of a large conference hall. There was a giant table in the center with numerous chairs around it. I guess Kazuya spared no expenses with furnishing for there was another table with a mound of food. Luckily there were vents connecting to the unknown upper floors so it wasn't hot and the food would not rot. Not that it would bother me, but a good deal of the members would sure have died from exhaustion. Speaking of which, I surveyed the room and found Dave, Ron, Vicci and Ifritstar at the food table. KD and Kuni were eating their food at the table. Cid went over to the food table as well and loaded up a plate of his own. Mo decided to sit down. Ken, Stu and Red Tiger were talking near the elevator. Ken took note.

"Hey DeKaz, you hungry? There's plenty of food!"

"No thanks I just ate" I'm not so sure I should of said that.

"How I didn't see any place?" Stu asked

"There's a place across the street from the district" Red Tiger covered

I stared at this woman in shock. And she stared fearfully at me. It was rather clear that she somehow knew of my rather grim appetite. I was rather curious as to how she knew but I soon sensed a power that I only heard stories of. This member was a Dragon Tamer, renowned sorcerers with the power to summon the mighty reptiles of days long past. So that explains how they found us and how they knew us. When in a meditative state they can sense the true nature of a being. I must've been quite the sight because her color paled when she covered me. I guess she was scared of what I might do if everyone found out my true nature.

"Well I must've missed it" Stu said.

"Well I'm going to talk with the other members" I said trying to get out of the subject.

"Alright, talk to you later" Ken said.

Phew. That was close. I walked away from the trio and an interesting sight caught my eye. Standing by the head of the table were the ninja and the vampire Unknown, whom I encountered at the start of my journey. It goes without saying that they were less then happy to see me. But I gave them a pleasant wave hi. She acknowledged with a sneer and I bet the ninja did the same under his mask. I was rather disappointed however. The one person whom I desired to see, the founder herself, was not yet here. But I was sure that I would before the meeting began. And when that time came I knew it would be quite enjoyable…for me anyway…

LEGACY OF KMAS CHAPTER 20
DISSENSION IN THE RANKS

I suddenly felt a tugging at the right of my coat. I looked but nothing was there. Then I felt another tug to my left I snapped my head to that direction but again saw nothing. Finally I felt a tug at my back. Getting a tad pissed off I faced the back and drew Ebony at the culprit. All members of the room turned to face my direction when they heard the trigger click. I looked down and saw a little girl. I can't believe I just pointed my gun at a kid. I think the same went for the other members when they saw it. The little girl had brown hair and glassy yellow cat eyes. She wore a white dress and brown shoes. Her wrists an ankles were cuffed in fur. She wore a little bell around her neck and had claws on her fingers. Her ears were large and pointed as that of a cat and her nose was just as cat-like. She had a little tail to that was now risen in fear. I put the gun back in it's holster and she calmed down. Everyone else though still disgusted turned their heads and minded their own business.

"Look kid, you really shouldn't be pissing me off like that! I tend to get angry" I said

"Wow! You have nice weapons! Where'dya get em?" She asked.

"Well I don't think you'd understand actually"

"OK. Oh I'm Xiao nice to meet ya!"

"DevilKaz"

"Oh you mean the one who got banned? Gee we missed having you around!"

I was rather surprised at this statement. It could've been the remarks of a naive child but this statement was rather comforting either way. I thought only Cid actually cared that I was gone, then again I've been wrong on a lot of things lately so I figured why not be wrong on this to.

"Really?" I continued "I would've never known"

"By the way I really like your swords! You wanna see mine?"

"Uh…I'm not sure now's the time to…"

"Please?" she said innocently

I glanced over and saw Cid laughing and Mo snickering. Everyone else was also on the point of hysteria. After making a mental note to get them back for this I returned to the task at hand.

"Ugh…Fine!"

"Look at these!" She said as she showed me two swords. "There're pretty aren't they?"

The first sword had an orange hilt and it's blade was covered in floral decal of orange, green and violet pallets. The second was pristine white with a greenish glow about the blade. It's handle was of solid gold. Pretty was certainly not the word for them.

"Those are pretty interesting" I said

"Wait" she said again "I have another one. Look"

She showed me another sword. This one however looked strangely familiar. It was a blade twice her size and it came to an angle at the point. I could've swore that I've seen that sword before…Wait that was the sword Ken had. In moments I saw him come over.

"Hey give me back my sword!" he said

Xiao laughed and gave it back. She was obviously playing around. She had no idea what was to come and I was rather concerned for her safety in this little escapade…

"Wow this is a nice gun" I heard her say

She now had Ebony in her hands. I was surprised. I had not even felt a tug or anything.

"That was interesting" I said

"Yup I can steal weapons in less then a second!"

"Good can I have it back? Please!" I said a little agitated

"Alright" she handed back my weapon

"Be careful you're a little to young to play with guns" I joked.

"Watch it, I may steal your sword next time" she said

"I wouldn't do that if I were you. You wouldn't be able to handle them. Trust me!"

"Why, do they bite?" she said sarcastically

"Something like that"

Xiao simply laughed and went to the table to sit. That was definitely the most uncharacteristic couple of minutes since my story began. I was about to do the same when I noticed another member at the far end of the table. He sat at the far end of the table with his feet propped upon it. This man wore a black shirt and blue jeans. His hair was brown and he had grayish-green eyes. And upon his arms he wore steel metallic gloves. These gloves were claw tipped and were very long and sharp. I knew who he was, not by appearance but by the manner of his attitude. He simply sat there with a sneer on his face as if he did not want to be here. Up until now I've seen sheer loyalty to Kazuya, but this one obviously had something against this whole thing. I decided to find out for myself…

"Before I start something, you are Vincent Wolf are you not?"

He turned his head slightly to me and gave a small nod.

"Silent type eh? Well Kazuya must've been forking over a lot to get you here"

"What makes you say that?" He said in a cold Russian accent.

"Well if I remember correctly you don't like Kazuya that much do you?"

"I don't think that matters now does it?"

"Well still, I didn't think you'd show"

"Listen, I'm really not in the mood for your accusations, so if you don't mind, leave me be!"

"Well excuse me ya Freddy Krueger wannabe"

"Oh that's really creative"

"Alright you I came over to start a friendly conversation…"

"And failed miserably"

"You know, I would steal your soul and toss it to the foulest pit of hell but you're just not worth it!"

"Yeah, whatever"

"Remind when all is over to smash you into oblivion!"

"Same here"

"I'm so sure"

He sneered and returned to his solitude I put that little event behind me and finally went to sit. I decided to just sit at the other head of the table. Not to feel important but to…eh who am I kidding… I placed my trench coat on the chairs backside and sat down. After a quick head count there were three members missing from this gathering. Grrrpoop, Jo and…

BING, went the elevator.

Everyone turned their heads to see what would emerge. I turned my head slightly. The doors opened and three figures emerged. I knew instantly who they were. The first two who emerged were obviously Grrrpoop and Jo. Wherever Jo went Grrrpoop would follow. I knew because he said he was her bodyguard at one time! Grrpoop was quite a buff person, with a tight muscle shirt and jeans and exceptionally large vans. His hair was a fiery brown and he had blue gray eyes. Upon his right arm was the kanji symbol for demon which glowed an ultra violet color. Both him and Jo were exceptionally pale. Jo had long dark brown hair tipped with bright red. She had green eyes and wore a black long sleeve shirt and black pants. Though simple in appearance I felt a sort of electrifying power within that being. I knew that she was a master at the element of lightning. And the third person who emerged from the elevator…was one whom I've been dying to meet since I emerged from my chambers…

EVENT: MEET SAIYAN RAGE
TRACK: INTRO/TITLE SCREEN (Streets of Rage)

She came from the elevator and as she did, the room stood up to see the one responsible for the creation of this group, the one who held the status as Kazuya's #1 fan…and the one who had banned me from the site herself. She had deep violet hair styled into a pony tail and eyes of a similar color. She wore a sleeveless trench coat similar to mine but of ebony color, a purple turtleneck with straps on the forearms and quite a large pair of boots. Her jeans were baggy and accessorized with zippers and chains. Her skin was just as pale as mine and a familiar power stormed within her. This power was so familiar but I could not place my finger on it. But regardless, this woman was undoubtedly her. The creator of KMAS, Saiyan Rage.

After viewing these three my interest faded and I turned around again. Let it be known I was trying to mind my own business and really try not to cause a scene. But I heard her come over to my direction and stop right behind me. I turned again and I met her gaze. She stared at me and I stared back. And then out of sheer curiosity she spoke to me for the first time…

"What the HELL are you doing here?!"

(End Event)

I tried, really I did!

"Well, well Saiyan Rage it's good to see you after all this time. How was your trip?" I said in an obviously insincere manner.

"Cut the false flattery, and answer my question!"

"What was the question again?" I asked enjoying myself in her annoyance.

"Why are you here? I banned your sorry ass! How could you be here?"

"Well doesn't that say something. Kazuya asked me even though I was banned. I wonder who he favors more?"

"I should through you right out on your ass! Just like I did before"

"Ouch. But I don't think Kazuya would appreciate that don't you think?"

"I think Kazuya would appreciate it more if his true fans helped him and not some death freak!"

"TRUE FAN?! Oh forgive me, I stopped a spammer from destroying the name of Kazuya and you repay me by throwing me off KMAS?"

"Repay you? For What?! For saying a bunch of curses and death threats to some stranger?"

"No! For defending our leader, for defending KMAS and our beliefs in him as a fighter. Admit it! I am the better leader, I am the one who would follow Kazuya to the foulest pits of hell!"

"You know, I thought you'd at least grow up a bit since last time but your still an immature fool!".

"And your still the mood swinging, control freak!"

"Very funny, now if you excuse me you're in my seat!" She said again.

"Um…I was here first thank you very much!"

"DevilKaz! Move!"

I stood up and simply said "No!"

"Why must you make everything difficult?"

"Why must you try to run the lives of others?"

"Why must you turn everything back to that one incident?"

"Because that one incident alienated me from my supposed friends!"

"You are a tight ass! Now let me sit!"

"Go ahead there are plenty of chairs"

"Just move!"

"I got a better idea. We'll handle this by Rock, Paper, Scissors. Best 3 out of 5!"

"You've gotta be kidding".

"Look I'm actually keeping my cool by not going into a violent rage. You're lucky I didn't attack you as soon as you got through the door" I admit, I was just bluffing. I would never had done such a thing to a woman unless she made the first attack.

"Don't bullshit me DevilKaz. Very well, we'll play".

EVENT: CHILD'S PLAY
TRACK: VAMPIRE KILLER (Castlevania Chronicles)

The rest of the members watched, actually they sat there the whole time and saw us verbally assault each other. We prepared ourselves and threw the first hand. I was rock, Rage was Paper!

"Hmph, you gotta do better then that!"

"Lucky hand"

I somewhat proved this by tying with Rock, Scissors and Rock and winning my first hand with Scissors.

"Well fifth times a charm" I said

"Shut up and throw!" said Saiyan Rage

I still couldn't believe I was doing this. What's more it was my idea. I guess deep down I just wanted to forget our quarrel. But after all that just happened I knew a simple game would not be enough. We threw the next hand and Saiyan gained her second victory with Rock.

"One more. You slipping DevilKaz?"

"I've only just begun"

Tie, tie, tie, tie, tie, tie, tie, tie, Win for me with Rock was the next string of the game. We now were tied with a point game. I was sure enjoying myself and Saiyan looked like she was a bit too. We must of tied so many time We thought for a minute and with my signal we threw what would be the final hand of the game!

"SHOOT" I yelled

The hands flew and two items appeared, Paper and Scissors. The two fingers were attached to the hand of………………………………..................me.

(End Event)

"Good Game" Saiyan said

"Yes I've never been challenged before like that before!"

The entire group had rolld their eyes in the event they just witnessed. Apparently it was quite a change from what they experienced. A moment of friendship had occurred but I knew it wouldn't last.

"Here DevilKaz. Let me getthe chair for ya!" Saiyan Rage said.

"Well thank you" I am so gullible at times. For upon approach, she kicked the chair to the other side of the room.

"Whoops! It slipped"

"Urgh…." I growled as I went to get it. As I did I saw in the corner of my eye, Saiyan signal Jo to bring another chair to that area. Not to be duped that easily I flung the Soul Reaver and it struck that very spot.

"I don't take kindly to treachery!" I said as I kicked the chair back. I walked over and heard Saiyan accuse…

"You were really going to hit me with that?"

"If the moment called for it"

Disgusted, Saiyan Rage opened her fist and slapped me right across the face. Now I'm usually very calm but I don't like being physically insulted. I pretty much lost it and pointed Ivory at the KMAS creator.

"You don't have the guts!" she said.

Everyone looked on and was rather concerned of what may happened. Those who knew me, knew I was prone to do anything had I been provoked or pissed off. To let you readers in on a secret, I wouldn't have pulled the trigger at all if I was emotionally clear. But I was extremely pissed off and if a voice didn't stop me I probably woulda done the unthinkable.

"ENOUGH OF THIS CHILD'S PLAY!"

All of our heads snapped to the direction the voice came from. And standing within the proximity was a man with a gray shirt and pants, a slick pair of shades and shoes and hair pointed back into a single spike. It was the man himself, our leader in the charge against Heihachi Mishima. His own son…Kazuya Mishima.

[mojojojo]

LEGACY OF KMAS CHAPTER 21
ALL IS EXPLAINED

"There will be no more of this foolishness, or I will have both of your heads". Kazuya said as he removed his shades.

"I'm sorry Kazuya" I said

"We were just…" Saiyan started

"ENOUGH! This is a serious matter that requires your every focus. So PAY ATTENTION! ALL OF YOU!"

I went to sit but again Saiyan tried to push me out of the way. We were now in a push and shove contest and stopped just before Kazuya turned around to see Saiyans arm in my face and my arm trying to push her. Saiyan took advantage of this to push me out of the chair and sit. I answered by pulling the other chair to the spot, which I shoulda done from the start, God how I hate my stubbornness! But we shared the space at the other hand.

"Are you finished?" Kazuya angrily said.

"Yes" we said in unison

"Make a vital note" He said as he started towards us.

"I am about to send you, into battle against Heihachi's soldiers of death. You are lucky I came to you with such a request. But it will be really hard to focus and give it your all, when you two, especially you Saiyan Rage are FIGHTING OVER A CHAIR!"

"It won't happen again, we were just messing around" I said giving the cover

"Your right it won't happen again"

Kazuya's mood was understandable. We were in the thralls of battle and we were acting like babies. But there was no time for regret as it was time for Kazuya to explain everything!

EVENT: LONG AWAITED BREIFING TRACK: MAKO REACTOR (FFVII)

"I've called you here for one reason and one reason only. Heihachi Mishima! Despite all claims he is still alive. He has rebuilt the Zaibatsu Empire within these lands and has rejuvenated his militia, the Tekken-Shu. I will brief you on both within this meeting. As you already know, my father's primary goal is seeking the Devil Gene. But now more then ever he needs it! He is earching the world for me and my son Jin and is plotting something of monumental chaos. His first step was creating a new type of soldier for his armies. I believe some of you have already seen his Super Soldiers?"

This, I suppose was the name for those creatures.

"Yes" said Ifirtstar. "My group encountered quite a number of them. But thankfully we survived".

"How many did you encounter?" Kazuya asked.

"Roughly seventy-five in total" said KD

"Seventy-five? How did you survive?"

"Ask him" Kuni said pointing to me.

"You?" he said upon seeing me.

"Yes, I killed everyone of them with a help from my partners"

"The kid's got some sort a freaky weapon that steals their souls or some shit like that!" Cid mentioned.

"Yes, plus his added addition of the Devil gene makes it all the easier. Isn't that right, demon?" said the Cyborg Ninja.

I was rather pissed off that everyone in the room now knew of this. They stared at me, some in awe others in shock and others in sheer terror.

"It would seem you have a decisive advantage over these soldiers" Kazuya started again.

"Yes, but he could also endanger the mission by providing Heihachi with the Devil Gene. He must not be allowed to take part!" Unknown intervened.

"You're a demon? Holy Shit!" Ron screamed.

Cid slapped him upside the head to calm him down.

"R.T. did you see it when you were looking for them?" Ken asked

She gave only a nod. And with that Ken and Stu were disgusted and frightened. Even Jo and hr bodyguard were astonished and turned the looks away from me. I think it was rather clear what they were trying to say and the following statement made it all the more obvious…

"I think you just better leave DevilKaz" Saiyan Rage said trying to finally be rid of me. Who could blame her?

Well it appeared I was unwelcome amongst this group. At least I could rest easy now. And not have to worry about gaining respect. I can't believe I traveled all this way for this bullshit! I mean there were plenty of other people to stare at, I mean the ninja was a fucking cyborg, Unknown was a vampire and everyone else had a weird thing about them. I mean so what I'm a demon who steals souls. I just really hate being the center of unwanted attention. I stood up and prepared to leave without a word. They just weren't worth it anymore.

"DevilKaz" a small voice called out.

"Where are you going?" It was Xiao the youngest member of the group.

"Everyone's got something up there ass, so I figured I'll just go home"

"Good! We can use less space. I ain't gonna fuck up this mission looking out for your ass!" Vincent Wolf broke the silence.

"Well then I guess you'd lose me too!. I have exactly what Heihachi needs as well" Mo stood up as he said this. What a pal… "Would you like to sacrifice or preferably test me as well?"

"Listen I battled against those Tekken freaks and I ain't never seen people fight like them! You'd get rid of them just like that? That make you nothing but a buncha bums! They ain't goin anywhere as long as I'm here!" proclaimed Cid.

"Listen I've seen and destroyed my share of demons but these two are different. They are of great use to us. I ask you please don't just discard them" Dave began.

"Kazuya, What should we do here?" Saiyan Rage questioned.

"If these two are in fact actually demons then I must say…that if they come they must proceed with the utmost caution. You two are free to abort at anytime. Just be careful out there when the time comes!"

"Well Mo, what d'ya think shall we go or stay?" I said

"Well it's more fun to torture the members in person, so let's stay" Mo said

"Well, I reluctantly agree" I assured.

Now that that unpleasantness had passed, and after Kazuya acknowledged our commitment with a nod of approval we returned to the task at hand.

"As we were, the super soldiers are a new breed of warrior. Upon a fatal wound their bodies will rejuvenate with renewed strength and savagery. But the more increasing terror is their power of invulnerability "But then how can we stop these things?" Grrrpoop started.

"Yeah we're not as gifted as DevilKaz is!" Saiyan Rage said sarcastically.

"Shut up!" I said

"Don't worry Saiyan, He isn't worth it. Save it for Heihachi" Jo spoke.

"I have provided an armory through that door over there at the end of this meeting we will depart to the Zaibatsu shortly. I recommend all of you to take whatever weapon suits you. Those who already have weapons, it couldn't hurt to take another".

"But where is the Zaibatsu?" Vicci asked

"Ah, Good question" Kazuya said as he reached for a remote. He pressed a button and a large section of the front wall moved to reveal a monitor. By pressing a large a button he revealed a large map upon the monitor of our current lands. He continued…

"South of the FireWood Forest and SouthWest of the Dark City Citadel is he Zaibatsu compound. Here is a photo of the compound"

A large gray building appeared with a black penthouse structure. Funny, it seemed rather small then I thought it would be. But then again Heihachi couldn't make big purchases if he wanted to regain his business financially. But the area which surrounded the compound was rather familiar and I didn't really know why. Kazuya continued.

"This structure is 15 levels high and there are entrances in the front and back". Now pay close attention for this is your primary opposition. Heihachi has created a squadron of seven of his most powerful soldiers and given them the leadership of the Tekken-Force. They possess the mastery of one element each and one is their leader. They are known only as The Big Seven!"

He changed the screen and showed a picture of seven shadowy beings. He zoomed in on the first figure. It was a female clad in shades of blue and light blue. She had similar azure color eyes, lipstick and hair, which was long and wavy as that of the waves of an ocean. She wore a light blue skirt and fighting gloves.

"This is the first member of the Big Seven, Sergeant Aquarios. Master of the element of water and Tekken Force's most brilliant strategist"

Kazuya zoomed in on the next being. The next picture was of a large brutish man, clad in shades of brown and earth colors. He had brown hair in a buzz cut and his skin was oddly grayish as that of a boulder or rock. He had Army boots and gloves made of solid rock.

"The second member is Chief Master Sergeant Quake. Earth Master and the brute strength of the Seven"

Member number three was that of a rather skinny man in shades of gray. He was average in height and his hair was gray and wavy as the howling winds. He wore a sleeveless shirt, with shiny gray boots and gloves.

"Next is Lieutenant Hurricos, the master of wind and the speediest member of the group"

Freak four was an average looking man, clothed in a white vest and pants, his hair was back in straight spikes and his eyes were transparent as glass. Upon his hands he wore gloves with sharp icicles and his shoes were clawed in ice as well.

"Captain Frost, the most cunning and vicious member and master of the element of ice"

The fifth warrior wore colors of gold and yellow. It was obvious that this man was in charge of the soldiers who attacked us. The soldiers wore gold patches upon their uniforms, so it was a small game of match the colors. He was rather large in size and his hair was electrifying yellow and white. He wore a jacket and sleeveless t shirt. His pants were baggy and his boots were shiny and ebony.

"The fifth member is Major Electashock, Lightning master and weapons expert.

I glanced slightly at Jo, who I mentioned earlier had this same power. She had a half smile on her face, as if she was hoping to challenge him

Number six was just as large but taller then the Major. He wore shades of red and orange. His hair was styled similar to Mo's but was a fiery red. He was clothed in a insulated suit and his eyes blazed in an orangey color.

"The last elemental master, Colonel Blaze. Master of Fire and the elemental squad leader"

As before I glanced at our own master of flame, Mo. But his look was slightly different. I knew that look from anywhere. He had a deep gaze as if he had known who this person was. It was a gaze of hatred and anger. But as I pondered the reasons why, Kazuya continued…

I saw the image of he final member and my eyes widened with surprise. And anger and anticipation filled my soul. Here was a man, with short and slick raven hair. He wore a traditional militia uniform. Similar to Heihachi's white suit, but black in color. His over coat, which was over his shoulder, was just like that of his masters, but of a darker burgundy color. I knew who this man was. He was one who now occupied the largest blackest hate filled part of my heart. And I'd wager the Soul Reaver and six bucks that he felt the same way! This was all confirmed when Kazuya spoke…

"And finally, the seventh member, leader of the Big Seven and Commander of the Tekken Force, General Beng"

That clenched it. It was Beng. I could not believe after all these years that vile bastard was still Heihachi's lackey. Well, he's come quite a long way after all. The leader of the Tekken Force. There was really no where left to go but Heihachi himself. But regardless, I now had another reason to participate in this little crusade. I had to face my rival one last time!

"This is your opposition. You will be able to tell whose soldier squadron is whose by the trims of their uniforms. Aquarios is symbolized by blue, Quake soldiers are represented by brown, Hurricos is decaled by a light gray, Frost emitted by white, Electashock is denoted by gold, Blaze is signified by red, and Beng's soldiers are marked with black. Be on your guard at all times! These soldiers always hunt in packs and there will surely be more of them. And if you encounter the Super Soldiers, use extreme caution and try to avoid conflict if they are in large groups. That is all you need to know. This meeting is adjourned. I suggest you all head to the armory and take whatever you need. And no hoarding please!

(End Event)

The room stood and proceeded as Kazuya instructed. I knew not many would have used them but some of them figured why not? I know that was my opinion anyway! But I was rather curious to see what weapons Kazuya had in store to use against the super soldiers. I entered the room and was taken by complete surprise. There were just regular swords and normal looking, yet some high caliber, guns and explosives in here. I sincerely doubted if our fatal attacks had proven useless then these swords and guns would.

"Kazuya, how can we beat them with these?" I asked

"The weapons are smuggled from the Zaibatsu itself. They are regular weapons yes. But the blade is lined with a special alloy that prevents the demonic resurrection. The ammo is packed with it too" Kazuya said with a smile.

I looked at one of the regular hand guns there and examined a bullet. The bullet was shining silver but other then that I really didn't sense anything of any importance. I slipped it into my pocket. Who knows maybe I could use it for my necromancy at one time. The weapons in there really had no use to me. I just sat back to see what everyone else would do.

EVENT: PREPARATION
TRACK: MOONLIGHT NOCTURNE (Castlevania: SOTN)

Vicci went first and claimed an UZI., rather good choice for mortal weaponry, and a mini-flamethrower. Pretty good choices to go with her stiletto. I saw Dave grab one weapon, another fine choice, a shotgun. KD-Mitsu grabbed the most weapons. She took a rocket launcher, she carried it with ease, a few molotovs and a katana. Grrrpoop grabbed two HK MP7's. Kuni took two sais. Honestly I was tempted to take one of everyone of those weapons. But I just took a few grenades…fifteen of them. My trench pockets went pretty deep. OK I took a shotgun too. Who wouldn't have, give me a break! The rest grabbed a side arm, except Mo, Unknown, the ninja, Xiao and Saiyan Rage. After securing our weapons we went out to join Kazuya.

We each headed up to the 1st floor and went outside the warehouse. We decided our means of travel. Ken would take the group he came with, Stu, R.T., Ifritstar, Vicci, KD and Ron. Dave had Nickel and Saiyan, Jo an Grrrpoop would be taken by Kazuya in his car. Kuni had already leapt into the night. Unknown had transformed into her bat form and was on her way now. The ninja had disappeared and ran off into the distance. Mo would obviously run. Sothat left Vincent, Xiao Cid and myself. I could never fly that far with such limited time.

"Go to the right of the warehouse" I heard Kazuya yell as he sped off.

We did and found two black choppers waiting their for us. Very sleek in design and a side car. We agreed that Cid would travel with Vicent and I would travel with…Xiao.

"Wow that's a nice bike!" Xiao said

"It's not a bike it's a chopper" I said.

We sped down the road and prepared to assault the Zaibatsu.

LEGACY OF KMAS CHAPTER 22
MEMORIES OF TRAGIC PAST

EVENT: THE ROAD TO GODDSAND
TRACK: LOST PAINTING (Castlevania: SOTN)

After being filled up at the Gas n' Dine, Jin set off on the road to Goddsand. To his knowledge, this was the last area to traverse in these lands. If he found nothing there, then this entire search had been for naught. Jin traveled north on a highway which bypassed a familiar sight. The FireWood Forest was still a blaze and gazing at it amidst the daylight made it look al the more fiery. Let it be known that Jin arrived at the diner around the same time DevilKaz and his group defeated the first swarm of Super Soldiers. Since the Gas n' Dine was a 24/7 place it was not hard to imagine why his encounter couldn't occur. It was daybreak when Jin left and from the diner about the same time when the KMAS set off for the Zaibatsu. Now that the timeframes are in order, let us continue.

As stated Jin would try one last time to locate his father, Kazuya Mishima. Goddsand was indeed the last place in these unique lands other then DevilKaz's cemetery that left to be searched. And that old decrepit cemetery really wouldn't have helped much. The fact that Goddsand was a city was rather comforting. It meant there were a lot of people, but a lot of people meant a lot of searching. But he didn't care how long it would take he would go through everyone in Goddsand to find the man he sought. And to knock him on his ass.

As Jin traveled to the city he could not remember his first betrayal. There he stood, in the temple of Ogre, the new champion of the Iron Fist Tournament Three. He had defeated the demonic entity Ogre and his manifestation of True Ogre. He had even defeated his own grandfather before that. He remembered that and turned around to console him. And upon his turn, shots rang out and Jin fell to the ground wounded. He looked up and saw the Tekken Force, surrounding him. But of greater shock was who was standing in the middle, with a loaded handgun pointed at him. His grandfather, the one who had raised Jin after his mother's death, the one who taught him the art of fighting and strength, the only one whom Jin could trust in life now pulled the trigger of the gun. As the steel struck his skull, Jin realized that he was only a ploy to lure out Ogre so Heihachi could obtain the demigod's power. He blacked out as soon as this revelation hit. He then awoke again and laid hold upon he nearest figure, a Tekken Force soldier. He flung him past his grandfather, who was now walking away from his dastardly deed, against the wall and destroyed every other soldier. Heihachi turned and faced the creature that now stood before him. His eyes glowed a vile red and he had black markings upon his face and a third eye. Heihachi knew what had happened, the vile blood of his thought to be dead son had indeed been passed to his thought to be dead grandson. Jin leapt at his traitorous relative and slammed him through the temple wall and as Heihachi and Jin plummeted to the ground, Heihachi saw an amazing sight. Jin had sprouted two black crow wings from his back and dived to catch Heihachi before he fell, saving him from certain death. Jin remembered why he did it. It was his way of saying you're lucky you raised me and that you're my grandfather. After this noble act he flew away and hoped to never see him again.

But it was apparently not to be. For a few years later he heard the rumor that Kazuya Mishima was still alive. Jin reacted to this statement not with surprise or excitement that one of his parents were alive, but with disgust and unbounded hatred. It was rather understandable as to why he acted that way, for after the events of the Iron Fist Tournament Three, he was turned from an impressive mortal fighter to a hideous demon. All thanks to his father. He also knew of the horrible things Kazuya had done while he reigned the Mishima Zaibatsu twenty years ago. He ruled the company with an iron fist and willingly consoled the demon known as Devil. Devil…

If anyone was to blame for any of this, it was him. For it was this being who tainted Kazuya's blood and his son Jin in turn. It was he who was responsible for the suffering of Jin, and it was willingly done by his father's hand. This is why he hated him so. He knew Kazuya as a heartless being, no different from his grandfather. All the nightmares he had of Kazuya were countless. He reflected on one nightmare he had. His most recurring one and the most unique. Jin saw himself standing in a black void and then the voice of his father calling to him…

"GIVE INTO THE HATE! HATE ME! CURSE ME!" the evil voice said. It was then followed by a sinister laugh. He heard his father speak however and his real voice was actually less evil filled.

Regardless he knew what sort of monster his father was. The violet demon he saw him transform into after his victory, before Jin passed out at the Iron Fist Tournament 4 was all the more proof he needed. He walked along the road still remembering that horrible dream. Over and over again, the visions of Kazuya would multiply all chanting the same thing!

"GIVE INTO THE HATE! HATE ME! CURSE ME!" followed by that awful laugh. Jin also remembered the fight that he and his father had at the dojo. It indeed was a battle of momentous proportions. But it was rather odd indeed how his father fought him. Although it was indeed a fight for life, Kazuya didn't look like he was trying to kill him, as previously thought. All the while Kazuya had this strange look upon his face. As if he was holding himself back from fighting. For a heartless creature, Kazuya had a look of worry and concern. Something else was definitely on Kazuya's mind and it certainly wasn't over whether or not Jin would kill him. He probably knew that too, but regardless, Jin could not figure out what it was but he knew it had something to do with the Devil Gene, Jin knew that was what his father was after.

He remembered lying there, defeated by his father at the dojo, being sapped of his power and strength. But only the power was depleted, the gene within him remained and over time Jin had been regaining his strength. But something was different, there was no longer the sense of terror within him, no more infernal voices in his head all that remained was the power. He never again had those horrible dreams. But oddly enough, the one that haunted him remained however. It was the only dream he would have when asleep. But the question was, out of all the horrible nightmares he had. Why had hat one remain. And why out of all the terrors upon him before Kazuya took his energy? These were the answers Jin would seek when he found his father.

As he pondered this he heard a loud horn. He looked up just in time to realize he had wondered into the street and a silver car was heading right for him. He dove out of the way ad it sped by. This was getting rather ridiculous. This is exactly what happened when Ken's van almost ran him down. If this kept happening Jin would be killed for thinking to hard. Jin caught a glimpse of the driver though, but all he saw was that his hair color matched the car. Then again it was probably no one important, Jin thought as he got up and continued down the road.

LEGACY OF KMAS CHAPTER 23
THE FIRST MOVE OF KMAS

EVENT: THE PATH TO THE ASSAULT
TRACK: OLD MAN'S COTTAGE (Castlevania: Lament of Innocence)

I sped down the road leading to the city exit. Vincent and Cid were right behind us. The cycle went exceptionally fast and purred like a tiger. I'm glad I was at least old enough to drive so I didn't have to argue over who would drive. Luckily Xiao was small in size anyway, so she was able to fit comfortably in the sidecar. Unlike Cid, who was rather a tight squeeze. I heard him cursing at the sidecar and the fact that he wasn't driving even over the motors. Vincent payed no mind to it at all. It was rather funny seeing the old man in the sidecar, but I had to keep myself from laughing so I didn't mishandle the chopper Kazuya gave us. As we passed the boundaries of the city, the shades of dark were gone and we found ourselves once again in nature's light. I blinked and straightened my eyes out, we went hrough the limits rather quickly so it caught me by surprise. It was morning and the sky was once again as it should be, blue with white wisps of clouds and the sun shone down on the lands. We continued down the road that bypassed the decrepit suburbs and through FireWood Forest. As we did I saw something overhead. I large flock of bats flew overhead. It was quite a sight to see especially in the time of dawn. That's when I knew something was wrong. No bat in its right mind would fly during the day time. Unless of course they weren't really bats. I stopped the cycle along the path of the blazing woods and saw the flock of bats descend into our path. The bats merged together to form one being and Unknown took form before me. Vincent, upon seeing the sight, stopped behind me.

"Why have you stopped!"

I paid no mind as Unknown stared at me and then pointed to the fiery woods.

"Come with me" she said and leapt into the forest.

I dismounted from my motorcycle and began to walk into the woods.

"Where the hell ya going DevilKaz?" Cid yelled.

"You two go on ahead! Xiao wait here for me and whatever you do don't follow OK?"

The two reluctantly sped of and Xiao gave a nod hat she'd stay. And with that I crossed into the familiar fire woods.

(End Event)

I hiked deep into the woods and stopped short. For I had sensed the taint of death in these woods and that meant Unknown was close by. I heard the trees rustle in the winds. In a flash of violet I saw Unknown dive out claws bared to slash my throat. I stepped to the side and avoided it with ease.

"I thought we went through this already? It is not night and I am a necromancer, you can not win! I promise to spare your life if you give up now after that I consider you my next meal!"

She said nothing and stood there

"You are quite skilled, DevilKaz" said a familiar voice. It was rather robotic but also had some humanity in it.

"You can stop hiding Gray Fox I know it's you" I knew it was him without a doubt. This was easily done by a process of elimination. Everyone but him was identified so it didn't take a rocket scientist to know. He materialized before me and stepped from behind the trees. With his cover blown he addressed me…

"Rather impressive display, DevilKaz. Mo and Cid told me of your adventures and we know first hand of your very first two"

"You indeed are a valuable asset to this siege and yet you are the very instrument of its downfall. You and Mo both carry the Devil Gene and with it, Heihachi's item for world dominance" the vampire said.

"We must apologize for our earlier actions. We did not know you were that battle experienced. You have gained our trust in the notion that you can handle yourself, but remember you are what Heihachi is seeking" continued the ninja

"Kazuya knows this better then anyone, since he too, is a target in Heihachi's plan. We now have three wild cards in this battle. Both can save our doom us all"

"I appreciate the semi-confidence. But we really must be going" I said

"Not yet!" Gray Fox said "Just remember, you carry he fate of us all. If you die or get captured, this world will be a literal hellhole

"Be remembered as the one who saves, not damns" said Unknown

"Look you two are really wasting my time I know what's at risk but delaying me will not help!"

"We understand, we'll leave you" Gray Fox said and then left the way he came

"We wish you luck DevilKaz" Unknown said before disappearing into bats.

I headed back to make sure Xiao was alright. I found her keeping herself busy with one of her swords.

"So what happened" she asked

"Nothing" I said

"Nothing? Something must've happened in there you took forever!"

"Look, nothing happened that you need concern yourself with"

EVENT: THE PATH CONTINUES
TRACK: OLD MAN'S COTTAGE (Castlevania: Lament of Innocence)

She quit questioning and I revved up the engine and continued down the road. We came out of the forest and turned right past the Dark Citadel. I could not help but look at hat amazing structure once more. I could gaze forever…

"You know you don't have to be so mean!" Xiao accused.

"Well when you've been through as much shit as I have you'll learn that the world sucks!"

"That's not true!"

"Oh yeah! Why not!"

"Cuz you were looking at that building over there!"

"So"

"Well that building as part of the world isn't it?"

"It was hand built!"

"By who"

"People"

"Don't people live on earth?"

"Don't you know it's not polite to talk back?"

"Oh you are mean!"

"And damn proud of it!"

"No you're not"

"Oh?"

"Yes otherwise you wouldn't of tried to leave like that at Kazuya's meeting!"

"You know you're way to observant for someone so young"

"And you're way to grouchy for someone who has so many friends!"

"Friends? You saw what 'friends' I had at the meeting! Absolutely none!"

"What about those two who defended you? The pilot and the short guy? And the knight guy? And what about me, I didn't say anything bad!"

"Well…I…Geez give it a rest!"

"No! You're being a big grouch! Admit it you have friends!"

I hated to admit it but the kid had a point. Dave, despite all I did to him quickly forgave me. Cid was nothing but a pal since I met him and Mo…well…I still was in shock that the little guy stood up! Kuni, KD and Ifritstar, even after seeing the power of the Reaver though still slightly scared stayed with us til the end. And this litle kid, though fully aware of the Revaer's power and mine still befriended me.

"You know kid, you gotta big mouth…and a big heart!"

She smiled at me when I said this

"Just make sure it doesn't get you killed!"

"They'd have to catch me"

The naivety of youth. If only she knew the true power of those creatures.

"Wow! Look at that!" she said.

(End Event)

We came at last to our destination. It's amazing how fast you can travel these lands without interruption and by wheels! The large building loomed over the lands. It was a tall grayish building with a shade of red windows underneath an Ebony top. At lat we had come to the Mishima Zaibatsu.

Hmmmm…how curious. It appeared that Heihachi was studying a new branch of industry. For the sign said Mishima Zaibatsu. but subtitled was "Biological and Researches Facility". The last time I checked, the Zaibatsu was a militia tech corporation. Ah well, it would be smart to take up that field considering his practices on the Devil Gene. It's too bad he lacked the sufficient component. And to our left I saw a very familiar sight. The trees were dressed with dark green leaves and the trunks were of the darkest shades of brown. This was the sight of my home, the cemetery of Dark Forest! I had never known that I had lived so close to my enemies domain. I arrived in time to see all of our group waiting for us roughly seventy-five feet away from a chain linked barbed wire fence that surrounded the Zaibatsu. Strange there wasn't that much security around the area. Actually all there were, were two guards outside the front gates and two patrolling each side. Kazuya began to formulate our plan of attack…

"Alright, there are entrances in the front and back of the Zaibatsu. I shall go through the front to divert any attention. The rest of you go through the back. I suggest you split into groups once you gain entry. Your goal is to find Heihachi! My guess he is located at the high point area of the building. Avoid using elevators, there are four sets of stairs on each level. Search all the levels very carefully for Heihachi or his Seven Squadron. Remember if you encounter any Tekken-Shu, only engage if it's not a large group, otherwise avoid any confrontation! If you encounter the Big Seven, try to dispose of them as well! Once you're in, decide who is going where and make haste. There's a chopper on the roof, so that means Heihachi can leave at any time. I will make my way to the top and divert any and all attention on each floor! Now move out!"

We did as we were told and made our way the Zaibatsu. We crept around to the back of the gates and made our way over them just in time to see Kazuya enter the front. Luckily there was no one watching the back door so our entrance was an easy one. The siege had begun.

[mojojojo]

LEGACY OF KMAS CHAPTER 24
INFILTRATION

We entered the Zaibatsu and saw Kazuya making his way to the third floor! Within was a giant lobby which in itself was three floors high! Think of this lobby as kind of a mall. There were but six rooms on these floors but each one of them were three floors in height. To our right were the maintenance areas. The main pipes and boilers were located here. I guess this place didn't have a basement. Next to it was a cafeteria, as to be expected in large conglomerate buildings. On the bottom left was the storage room. Tons of materials, scientific, technological and office equipment were stored there. On the bottom right were the bunkers where the overnight workers and soldiers would sleep for the night, these were by the filled with a few soldiers. I couldn't give an exact number, but rest assured there were enough to cause trouble. The next room was another cafeteria. It would seem quite a lot of people worked here, for there to be two large cafeterias. And to our immediate left was the armory for the Tekken Force. Machine guns, explosives and gas bombs littered the walls.

"Well this place was well stocked on ammo I see" spoke Jo

"Yeah but you can fry them no problem" I said

"What do you mean?"

"I know of your powers. I know the electrifying power you possess. These mere weapons should be no match for you….unless you're an amateur spell caster?"

"You wanna see first hand?" she said as sparks flew from her eyes.

"Try it! I dare you!" I said is I placed my hand on the hilt of the Reaver.

"STOP THIS!" I heard Kazuya yell from the third floor. Thankfully no one heard him.

"Sorry!" we yelled back.

"Shhhh! Keep it down!"

"What?" Jo yelled

Kazuya rather agitated "SHUT UP!"

"You see what you did!" Jo said to me.

"Me? You were the one yelling!"

"BOTH OF YOU CUT IT OUT!" Kazuya screamed.

At this one of the soldiers stirred and rose from his bed!

"What?! INTRUDERS! WAKE UP! INTRUDERS!"

The rest of the soldiers awoke and grabbed their weapons. Before you knew it the entire bunkers were empty and there were three floors encircling us. These soldiers however were normal human soldiers. Fragile and very susceptible to good ol' fashion lead.

"I'm not traveling with him!" Jo said to me..

"Likewise" I said.

"Any ideas anyone" Grrrpoop asked.

"Yeah stand back and let me handle this" Jo demanded

"You" one soldier said to another. "Inform Heihachi about this!"

Jo walked to the center of the circle!

"FREEZE!" a soldier said as they all pointed their guns. Jo stood still and raised her arms.

"You boys are in for a bit of a shock" and with that she brought her arms down and over a hundred small bolts shot out of her and from what I could see, found their way straight through the heads and torsos of every T-Force member on each floor. I gazed, in some awe, as each soldier dropped to the ground…dead.

"How's that for amateur?" she said after blowing her finger like a smoking gun barrel. I admit I love that jester but not when it's used against me.

"Whoa…" Ken and Stu went in unison.

"That was quite impressive. It seems you have some competition DevilKaz" Mo said.

"Shut up. By the way, the you remember to get that soldier who was reporting to Heihachi?" I said.

"No I missed him"

"I thought so" as soon as the words escaped my lips a fired a shot from Ivory southwest from where I was standing.

"What was that for?" Dave asked.

"Go take a look and see"

The group followed me to the bunker room. To the right was a small bullet sized hole that went straight through the cafeteria and bunker walls and to our left we saw quite a sight. A soldier had an undialed phone in his hand and a bullet wound square in his forehead. I went over, took the phone out of his hand and placed it back on the hook. Afterwards I slightly tapped him and the soldier fell.

"Now let us return to the mission at hand" I said as I walked past the glum stares and of course the few sneers in the group. We came from the bunkers and saw Kazuya standing over the rails of the third floor.

"That was quite impressive Jo. But next time let's not have an encounter of that magnitude. And DevilKaz, try not to make to much noise when your in combat. We can not afford to be discovered. I will take the elevators to the upper floors and try to distract any guards the rest of you take the stairs! There's a set in the bunkers, the armory, the maintenance rooms and the storage room. Go now! And if any of you have a purpose here, there is a directory on the right of the north west, first floor elevator" Kazuya said as he stepped into the elevator and ascended.

"What did he mean by that?" I asked.

"Listen not everyone came with the intention of showing us up DevilKaz" Saiyan Rage accused. Boy she sure had a way with people. But this was a rather correct guess, that was my intention for a brief period of time.

"Ok, we better decide who's going where, but first, who has an agenda here?"

I looked amongst the group and saw seven hands go up. I spoke once more to try and limit them down a bit.

"Alright, who has a purpose other then getting revenge on Heihachi?"

Four hands went down and three remained. That was good enough.

"Follow me" I said as I walked to the directory.

"Wait a minute! Who died and made you boss?" Saiyan Rage asked.

"I was just trying to…"

"Listen, no offense but some of us are not really ready to trust you yet! So why don't you leave this to me?"

Who could argue with her? She was right. Despite or should I say because of all I've done, not many were comfortable with me hanging around them. We came to the directory and Saiyan addressed the first of the hands.

"Kuni-Bob, what do you need here?"

"I just want to get more info on the technology of the Tekken Force".

"Alright, then you, Xiao, Vicci, and KD go to floors 4 and 5, these are the computer research rooms! And be careful!"

They proceeded to the bunker staircase as soon as they could.

"Now Ifritstar what are you looking for?" she continued.

"Two things. One I must find my cousin who works here. She has been an informant for us here at the Zaibatsu. She is how Kazuya got all his information. Now that we're here she shouldn't be here any longer. And secondly I must find a certain medicine. I must get it to my brother back home. He is gravely ill, and is in a hospital in the city of Goddsand. I heard that the T-Force had some sort of serum that could aid in his recovery".

"Fine, Dave, Cid, and Ron, accompany Ifritstar. I don't know where your cousin maybe, but I have a feeling the serum you seek is in the medical ward on Level…..6 through 7. Just be careful where you're searching OK?"

They banded together and headed towards the staircase in the maintenance rooms.

"Cid" I called out.

"Yeah what d'ya want?" He grumbled.

"Don't die on me"

"Likewise kid!"

They headed off and Saiyan Rage continued…

"Now finally, Red Tiger, why are you here?"

"I'm seeking my master Opal. He was taken by Heihachi and I'm sure he's here. I don't know why, but I have a feeling he may use his work to enhance his Devil Gene research".

"If I had to guess, I'd say he would use them to either create a new life form out of the dragon's blood and the devil gene or taint the dragon's own blood with it and have the devil spawn within them" I said.

"My thoughts exactly" she agreed.

"Well there is a holding area and a containment chamber here on the 8th floor. Try that place and see what you find. Ken and Stu go with her!"

They proceeded to the staircase near the storage rooms. Nimar followed as well.

"Wait a minute? Didn't Kazuya say there were fifteen levels?" I asked

"Yeah so?" she said

"Levels nine through fifteen aren't listed".

"They must be one of those strict personnel levels" Jo concluded.

"I wonder what's up there?" Grrrpoop asked.

"Well I'm not waiting around to find out!" I started toward the armory staircase.

"DEVILKAZ!" Mo shouted "Do not get careless! This is not the time play around if you or I screw up this mission will be a failure, and I won't look upon that as a plus to our alliance".

"Whatever! I've got an important meeting with someone here. One that will end with blood!" I said as I proceeded to the staircase. "And if any of you try to stop me I swear I will not hesitate to devour your souls". They did not know the significance of my motives. Maybe I should've told them…For I was now here for one reason and one reason only…to confront General Beng! I dashed up the staircase and left them behind.

[mojojojo]

LEGACY OF KMAS CHAPTER 26
DEVILKAZ'S FINAL WARNING

As I dashed up the stairs, I was filled with eagerness and ravenous fury. It was time that I had finally laid my rival to rest. The numbers of floors went higher and higher. Five…Six…Seven…Eig…Whoa!

A pang of unusual energy crept over me. A power that never in my life did I ever feel before. It was not at all demon energy or that of Hellish proportions, as I was quite used to sensing that one, but it was not human or undead either. As I calmly walked up the stairs leading to floor eight, the power intensified with each step. I reached level eight and carefully opened the door. This was obviously one of the most heavily guarded rooms of the entire Zaibatsu. There must have been at least thirty guards inside that room alone. Perhaps this is what I felt, a large number of super soldiers…no…these were, thankfully, normal human soldiers…odd. If this room was of great importance, why had Heihachi not used his super soldiers to guard it? The soldiers wore patches of brown and red, which meant they served Master Sergeant Quake and Colonel Blaze. But of course it didn't matter to me who they served, because they were about to be relieved of their services…permanently. With that in mind I entered the room in a very discrete manner..

"Hey guys" I yelled "What's in all these containers?" For the room I had entered had rows and rows of giant preservation chambers, I could not see nor sense what was in them yet, and I knew the soldiers wouldn't tell me, but after I was the last man standing I'd see for myself.

"IT'S HIM DEVILKAZ!" said a soldier.

"SURROUND HIM!" said another.

All thirty soldiers came and surrounded me in a giant circle.

"Surrender DevilKaz, and we promise your death will be quick and easy" said a soldier.

"I could promise you the same thing, but it would be a lie!" I said drawing Ebony and Ivory.

"FIRE"

EVENT: SIMPLE BATTLE
TRACK: NELO ANGELO 12 (DMC)

I leapt into the air and turned myself down so that I was facing downward. I aimed my guns in the air and fired so rapidly that I was able to get a bit of hang time. The bullets rained down upon the ill-favored soldiers and I was able to kill fifteen soldiers outright. I landed perfectly on my feet and the rest of the fifteen began to take aim again.

I decided to be a little less merciful with these soldiers. With haste I pulled out my necromancy skull, and quickly poured a vial of red liquid and another of black powder into the hollowed innards of the skull. Using my dagger, I mixed it together. And before another 'fire' command was given I splattered the contents of the skull around and it struck each one of the remaining soldiers.

"What was that all about? Our armor protects us against all liquids and acids" one soldier asked.

What idiots, they didn't even notice the foul liquid seep through their armor and into their skins. It took less then five seconds to realize what happened, for I had raised my hands and clenched my fist. As I did the soldiers felt immense pressure on their bones. As they howled in pain, I heard one of them ask.

"What did you do to us?"

"It's quite simple really. I now have control of your very skeleton. I can crush each one of your bones, one by one until there is nothing left to support your miserable bodies. And that's only using my fist. Imagine what I could do if I moved my arms in the right direction?"

I sensed immense fear from these soldiers, actually at first I thought it was anticipation. To see what would happen if I did such a thing, too bad I didn't think of that sooner.

"What's that? You want to see what would happen? Very well!"

I raised my arms and then in a rapid motion I brought them across my chest. And in less then a second, a skeleton erupted from the fifteen soldiers in a shower of crimson plasma. There was not even enough time for a scream… God how I loved necromancy!

(End Event)

With no more soldiers to play with I decided to inspect the chambers in the room and hopefully find the source of that mysterious power. I looked carefully into one of them and saw a human like shape. Within I sensed the same feeling I did when I fought the super soldiers. So, this was were they were created. Perhaps I could find out how within this room.

I walked along the steel floors. I indeed was alone in this room because my footsteps echoed throughout the entire level. CLANK, CLANK, CLANK, CLUNK…

Wait a minute…I thought upon hearing a different sound. I tapped my foot on the floor…

CLUNK, CLUNK…was all I heard. This did not sound like steel, it sounded more like glass. I looked down and saw that there was a large glass circle upon the floor. This was no doubt a gigantic containment chamber for the power I felt earlier. The glass was ridged, red tinted with golden supports. I decided to peer into the glass and see what was in there. I kneeled down, and I tried hard to see anything, but I could not. The glass was non-transparent, which was quite odd indeed, because I never thought it could be. I rose to see if there was another way to see inside, when all of a sudden I had a very weird thought. I wanted to feel the supports of this giant circular frame. I knelt again and carefully placed my hand on it. But the supports were completely flat…no…they were not supports at all…I then felt one of the ridges on the glass, and they too were on the other side of the glass. I knew why this was, they were not part of the glass at all, they were the part of a giant wing! I followed the wing to the back of the creature inside the chamber and followed that along to the other side of the circle. Whatever this thing was, it had it's head curled under it's wing. I saw it move again and I stared deep into the glass.

Out of nowhere a giant head sprang from under the wing and took me by complete surprise. It was a large green, scaly head with bronze horns and red eyes. I fell back in suspense and could not believe what I was looking at. It was a Dragon!

"It is quite a marvelous beast, isn't it?" a calm yet unknown voice said.

"Who's there?" I asked.

A man stepped from the shadows. He was clad in an azure robe and he looked as if he was an old karate sensei.

"Please do not be alarmed. I mean you no harm" he spoke.

I knew this man was telling the truth.

"As I said it is indeed beautiful to behold. The Dragon is the most benevolent creature on this earth, the most destructive and most loyal. But to see it imprisoned is quite sad indeed. A creature such as this should not be perverted to serve such a beast as Heihachi".

"You are Opal, are you not old one?"

"I am, DevilKaz. And I know Red Tiger is here as well. I knew before you set foot in this room. And I know of that which lurks within you"

"And yet you'd still befriend me? Do you think it wise?"

"I know your true self DevilKaz, others may not see it but I do. You know in your heart what's right, yet the rage in your heart destroys you internally. Therefore I judge it best for you to be the one whom I give these warnings to!"

EVENT: DEVILKAZ'S FINAL WARNING
TRACK: SHIN-RA CORPORATION (FFVII)

"I have no time for this elder!"

"You see? Even now your hatred is keeping you from receiving very helpful advice, it hinders even the simplest act of listening. You can not hope to succeed if you let your anger become your master. That was why Kazuya suffered much in his life in the first place, and that is the downfall of the human race"

"Tell me Opal, is the dragon blood what Heihachi uses to power the super soldiers?"

"No, that comes from another far terrible source, one which you are very aware of. Perhaps during your search you will find the answers you seek. But beware! While you search with the intention of destruction, your enemies are plotting your demise at this very moment. You must clear your mind and be well prepared. For there is a traitor amongst your ranks"

"What?"

"There is one who seeks to destroy you and then willingly turn you over to Heihachi as soon as the vile act is finished"

"Well that person is in for a rude awakening, I will not be so easily vanquished"

"DevilKaz, you must not be so confident! The traitor I speak of will not be easily spotted and it will strike at the most critical of moments! You must try to destroy the traitor before all is lost!"

"Listen old man, I appreciate the pep talk but I really should be going"

"Ah yes, you wish to kill your rival do you not? Very well I shall tell you then, of the unknown levels. The floors above contain the truths of Heihachi's evil plots. Level 9 is the place where the Tekken Force become one with the elements, Level 10 and 11 are floors for those who seek the comfort of hell's touch, Level 12 and 13 contain the truths that must be divulged to you. And Level fourteen is the threshold to the lair of the beast himself! But know this DevilKaz and know it well, then when you reach the highest floor you had better be armed with the answer to what I am about to tell you. As you ascend to the heights of this building consider very thoroughly this fact. You, Mo, Kazuya and Jin all have what you believe Heihachi is after, but only you carry what the beast truly desires!"

I stood utterly baffled at the amount of info bestowed upon me by this man. There was indeed truth to everyone of his words. I could not believe that one would actually defy Kazuya and sell out to Heihachi. I've seen it happen before, but to know that one of us would do it, was now gnawing away at my very soul! Who, I wondered. Who would commit such a heinous act?

(End Event)

"Master Opal?" I heard a faint voice cry out.

I turned and saw the group of Ken, Stu, Red Tiger and her pet emerge from the south east stairwell.

"Red Tiger! My child!" the old man gleefully said.

They embraced each other in a joyous reunion that would probably have made my stomach turn, if not for the fact that I had respect for this old man.

"DevilKaz! Thank you so much for helping him!" Red Tiger said.

"Yeah, you ain't such a bad guy after all" Stu said.

"Yeah man you rule!" Ken said.

I turned around and headed upstairs only saying "Whatever, just be careful not to get yourselves killed…and your welcome…"

That said, I ascended once again.

[mojojojo]

LEGACY OF KMAS CHAPTER 27
A QUESTION OF LOYALTY

I came at last to the ninth floor. Inside was an ebony floor, decorated with a white marble-like design. In this room laid six chambers, three on each side. From where I stood, on the north of the room, I saw each of the chambers. On my right were chambers of crimson, gold and pristine color. And on my left were the colors of gray, brown and azure. I peeked into every one of these chambers and realized that within each, contained a certain element of it's respective color. Fire, Lightning and Ice and the right. Wind, Earth and Water on the left. In front of each chamber laid a small actuator. I was unsure but perhaps upon activation, the contents of these containers would be unleashed. So this must be how the elemental properties were imbued upon the Big Seven. But how could such a body endure such harsh treatment? I wondered.

SLAM!

I heard a stairwell door slam shut and I turned quickly towards the noise. I was rather disinterested with who now occupied this chamber with me.

"Oh it's you…" I said. "Shouldn't you be surveying the lower floors?"

"Shouldn't you be on our side?" Said a cold Russian accented voice.

"What do you mean?"

"I think you know precisely what I mean!"

"You dare to question my loyalty, you of all people? The one who has no respect to Kazuya?"

"You judge me wrong, DevilKaz, I have enough respect for Kazuya to not have an insignificant pest like you get him killed!"

"Well then tell me, Vincent Wolf, what makes you question my loyalty?"

"You have the very key to Heihachi's victory, one that I know, you will willingly hand to him!"

"What proof do you have!"

"Come now! What do you have to gain from any of this? What could Kazuya possibly give you that you can't already obtain?"

This was a good question. I was here now, mainly to destroy General Beng. I really had nothing to say in my defense!

"That's what I thought! Now DevilKaz, you will pay for your treachery!" Vincent Wolf said as he brandished his claws.

"I will not defend or explain my actions to you! I will fight you, but I will not kill you! Your heart is in the right place! HAVE AT YOU!"

EVENT: DEVILKAZ VS. VINCENT WOLF
TRACK: MELANCHOLY JOACHIM (Castlevania: Lament of Innocence)

He wasted little time in attack as he lunged forward and slashed. This mortal was quite fast indeed, for he was able to slash at my coat as I dodged. I unsheathed the Sparda sword and assumed a stance.

"You sure it's wise to use such a large weapon against such a rapid foe?" my assailant spoke.

"I'll manage, besides you don't want me to use my other one, trust me!"

He lunged forward again and I deflected his claws to the side and brought the broad side of the sword down upon him. But the slippery bastard leapt away and kicked me in the back of my head. Honestly, for me it was really hard to fight someone and not kill them. But Vincent didn't have to worry as he brought his claws down upon me again and was able to scratch the side of my face.

"That's guaranteed to leave a mark!" Vincent spoke.

"I've had worse!"

"Not as bad as this!" he spoke as he thrust his claws into my side.

I was struck with pain instantly. This was indeed getting annoying. How I managed to keep my cool after even that attack I will never know. But I smacked Vincent away with side of Sparda. I ran towards him and brought the blade this time trying to hit his arm. I succeeded in making contact but unfortunately no damage was done. For his entire arm was encased in the same metal that his claws were made of. He again kicked me in my head and then in my chest. Then with a punch from his steel hands he knocked me right in front of one of the chambers. I was shaken terribly by his punch and could not take too much more.

"Giving up all ready?" Vincent Wolf asked.

"I've only just begun!" I said as I slammed my fist down on the actuator of the Earth chamber. I opened the door and boulders flew from the chamber. Three were sent straight towards my opponent who slashed them to pieces. However he did not notice the forth one which now assaulted him straight in the gut. He was knocked to the floor.

He rose, turned around and met my fist. The Wind Godfist certainly had it's pros, especially when you needed a quick and powerful move. Using the opportunity I struck him again with Kazuya's trademark Devastator. Which sent him flying into another chamber. As I walked over to deliver another blow he leapt behind me and smiled.

"Hope it's hot enough for you" He laughed.

For I had unknowingly walked right in front of the activated Fire chamber. Flames engulfed me as Vincent Wolf laughed through the entire process.

"So sad that you were cremated so soon and didn't get to enjoy the flames! But you'll get all you want in Hell!"

"Confident, aren't we?" I spoke

"What?!"

I emerged from the flames untouched and turned the chamber off.

"I hoped you were smarter then that" I said. "Do you know what happens when a demon and fire meet? The demon gets stronger!" I said. For I now had a supply of fire at my tips! After using some of it to heal me I commenced with an offensive.

"Now burn" I yelled as the fire cascaded down my arms and out of my hands. As if running from a flamethrower, Vincent Wolf ran for his life around the chambers until I was out of ammo and he was in front of me.

"Now I have you!" he said ready to bring his claws across my neck.

"Ever read Gone with the Wind? It's an interesting book, let me give you a preview!" I said revealing the activated Wind chamber.

Tremendous Gale Force was unleashed which set Vincent Wolf straight into and nearly through a wall. He rose again and walked towards me.

"This is not over!" he said.

"You can not defeat me, and your reasons are false! I am no traitor!" I spoke.

"You lie and you know it! I will finish you now!" He said as he began slashing his claws downward.

I was quite curious as to why, but soon I released that he was slashing more and more rapidly until he created an entire vortex of swiping claws. Without hindrance he moved towards me! I could not hope to try and block because I would be taken out by the other swiping claws.

"THIS IS MY BERSERKER BARRAGE! NOW DIE DEVILKAZ!"

I ran and leapt for my life but he near closed in on every defensive dodge I made. I had to find a way to stop him! I suddenly had a risky but clever idea. I leapt in front of another chamber as he closed in again. I asked.

"Vincent! What are your claws made of?"

"The strongest steel known to man!"

"Steel?"

"Yes, you have no intention of destroying them" he said.

"Just checking, not much of a SHOCK to me as it is for YOU!" I unleashed the Lightning chamber and well, the results of Lightning striking a man with metal are not very positive. He was fried on the spot. He was still alive, alive enough to still fight. But this had to end. So I picked him up by the neck and threw him in front of the Water chamber. After drenching him with the wave that emerged I threw him in front of one last chamber.

"I have to go and face Heihachi! You have wasted enough of that time. So chill out here til I return" and with that the ice door was opened and from it shot frozen mist. The water was instantly frozen and my opponent was encased in solid ice. He was still alive thankfully. But as stated I had to continue. Heihachi and Beng were now six floors away from my ands and nothing would stand in my way. NOTHING!

LEGACY OF KMAS CHAPTER 28
WRONGFULLY ACCUSSED

I had now come to floor ten and was anxious to see what Opal meant by Hell in this room. But the door was locked for some reason. The door itself was rather peculiar, it resonated with a crimson hue and I felt tremendous heat outpouring from it. I see that he wasn't kidding when he said Hell. I thought it best to forget about it and head upstairs. I went past the eleventh floor as well, since he said 10 and 11 we're the same. I now stood at the threshold to a level which Opal said were where the "truths that must be divulged" were. I entered with extreme caution.

EVENT: A SHOCKING DISCOVERY
TRACK: THE GREAT NORTHERN CAVE (FFVII)

The room was unguarded and all there were, were two experimental tables on each side of me. This was the Main Laboratory of the facility. Each one contained formulas and different substances aligned in a certain order. But at the end of the table I saw a giant tube which connected to the upper floor. These tubes were inside of a large beaker at the end of each table. It seemed that these two beakers contained the results of all the substances on each respective table, mixed together. I was anxious to see the results of these experiments and hurried to the next floor.

Unguarded as well this room was, as I entered the room carefully. What greeted me was a large ebony machine, and out of the machine jutted the same tubes I saw on the lower floors. No doubt this machine was used to properly mix the ingredients. I saw two nozzles on the machine, each which activated a certain tube. I cautiously followed the tubes which led to a table at the far end of the room and there laid a beaker and a test tube filled with a strange substance to their right were two books. I approached the table and tried to figure out what these substances were. The one in the beaker was an oozing green substance which bubbled like a boiling pot of water. I recognized this substance instantly, I knew what it was. This was the blood of the demi-god Ogre, who Jin Kazama, son of Kazuya had destroyed in the final round of the Iron Fist Tournament Three. But the other substance was very strange indeed. It was a crimson substance that bubbled in black foam. I was rather curious as to what this substance was. I thought perhaps one of the books could tell me more. I picked up the first book, which was entitled, "My Quest for Lucifer's Blood" green in color and began to read.

"What a glorious day! My researchers were able to gather enough material for the experiments needed. Thank god my good for nothing grandson didn't destroy Ogre completely, otherwise I'd be no where. At least he's out of my hair. One less mouth to feed! Soon I will be able to breed an army undefeatable by any man or weapon! Indeed it is a glorious day"

-Heihachi Mishima

"So this tells how Heihachi obtained Ogre's blood and DNA, perhaps there's more to discover what that other substance is" I thought as I flipped through the pages and stumbled upon another statement.

"Of all the rotten luck! I should've known my idiot son would not have been taken out that easily! My Tekken Force couldn't even do the simple job of subduing him! There has to be a way to obtain the Devil Gene. There has to be a way to lure both Jin and Kazuya to me…That's it…the King of the Iron Fist is the key! Those fools can not resist the urge to beat me or each other. One of them have to show up…an then victory will be mine!"

-Heihachi Mishima

"Well that explains why the King of Iron Fist 4 was held, but I know all this stuff already" I said as I flipped to the end of the book. The last page was three words in big bold letters

"I'VE DONE IT!"

-Heihachi Mishima

"Oh for the love of God!" I said as I picked up the second book. "Now this may help!" I said as I picked up a violet book entitled "The Creation of the Super Soldiers" I began to read and skim. Most of it was all scientific mumbo jumbo. But I saw a passage that caught my eye…and shattered whatever was left of my assumptions.

"Upon a fatal wound the super soldier is activated. Subjects show no sign of pain or remorse. Rejuvenation factor is astounding! Strength, stamina and dexterity increase by 100 to 300%! Remarkable! It was better then I could hope for! I've done it! I've finally created the ultimate soldier. I've finally achieved the results of what happened when Jin and Kazuya met there end! I've obtained Lucifer's Blood! The world is mine for the taking…all I need now is numbers, enough soldiers to bring the world under my hand. But where to get such numbers, and how? I'll have to think long on that one"

-Heihachi Mishima

"………………………………....................................................................................................................................................................................Of course…………………………Now I understood! How could I have been so blind! Jin was shot directly in the skull, and body, no regular human could survive that! My God Kazuya was thrown into a volcano and survived a regular human would have incinerated before it ever hit the lava. But Kazuya and Jin were not regular humans. They had one thing that made them that way…the Devil Gene. Heihachi has had the Devil Gene all along. That's why the super soldiers rose from the dead. Heihachi spliced them with the gene! But how did he get it in the first place. JIN! Heihachi had Jin in his possession before the fight with Kazuya at the Iron Fist Tournament 4! He could have easily taken Jin's blood while he was out. Bu if Heihachi already had the Devil Gene, why did he need me? What was so important about what I possessed? What did I have that Kazuya, Mo and Jin did not? No it couldn't be…"

I had my doubts that Heihachi had the Devil Gene. I had to make sure. I took a drop of the red substance and placed it on my glove. Then I took my dagger and lightly cut my finger and let some blood ooze out of the small wound. I took a long look at my blood and gave it a sniff. It didn't smell like human blood obviously but if the substance on my glove smelled the same then it was definitely a match. I leaned over carefully to get the scent of the substance when a voice screamed out behind me…

(End Event)

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!" a female voice screamed out.

I spun around and saw Saiyan Rage staring in shock at my bleeding hand which was, unintentionally held over the vial.

"You TRAITOR!"

"No! It's not like that I swear!" I pleaded

"You are giving Heihachi the Devil Gene! I knew you were nothing but scum!" she accused

"I'm telling you that is not what happened!"

"I don't want to hear it! You've sold out your own friends, the world and Kazuya! Now I'm gonna take you out myself!"

EVENT: DEVILKAZ VS. SAIYAN RAGE
TRACK: ENCHANTED BANQUET (Castlevania: Symphony of the Night)

Saiyan Rage came at me and kicked me into the table and then grabbed me by the throat and flung me into a wall. I tried reasoning again. But she wouldn't listen as she put her foot to my face and thrusted a knife edge palm into my chest. She took the opportunity to slap me in the face and using the side of her leg to knock me down on the floor. All the while I pleaded for her to listenIt was quite clear that I was not fighting back. I had absolutely no reason to! Until…

"Come on DevilKaz! Stop being a pansy and fight back!"

"Very well! If this will make you see reason!" I flung my trench coat to the side and assumed a fighting stance.

She came at me again with a kick but I grabbed it this time and through it to the side. She then tried a few punches but I deflected them. I was only fighting defensively, I'm all for a good fight but not one for the wrong reasons! She came with another knife edge, but I quickly stepped to the side and swept legs from under her. As she lay on the floor, I unsheathed the Reaver, for the sole purpose of making her listen.

"Now listen to me! I found two books explaining how Heihachi obtained the Devil Gene! I was merely comparing my blood to that substance to see if it was indeed true!"

"You expect me to believe that? That's the biggest lump of bullshit I ever heard".

"Please you must trust me! I had no intention of betraying you or anyone!"

"I don't believe you!"

"WHY?! What is so difficult to understand?"

"Nothing, except you are lying and now you'll pay for all your deceit!"

"What are you gonna do? I have the Reaver at your throat and your defenseless!"

"Am I?" I saw her violet eyes glance past me and I spun around to see a bolt of lightning go right into me. I must have been jolted with at least 300 volts of energy. I saw Jo who had made the attack walk forward.

"Give him another one Jo, he seems to like it!" Saiyan said.

And Jo did just that only a at more powerful! After writhing in agony I felt myself being lifted off the floor and a familiar power entered the room! It was a power of soul stealing a power which I possessed. A power which was now being turned against me. I was engulfed in a violet haze and Saiyan's eyes flashed a similar hue.

"You see DevilKaz! I have the power of soul stealing as well! But you see I thought need a little toy to do it!"

"I'M TELLING YOU YOUR MAKING A MISTAKE!" I pleaded one last time!

"The only mistake I made was allowing you to even breathe when I met you! Farewell DevilKaz!"

There was but one way out of this, but it was of gargantuan rsk and probably doomed to failure but I tried it anyway. I felt myself being completely torn from existence. I saw Saiyan Rage yank her arm back and I saw a shade being pulled from my own body. And with one final pull, the soul was torn from my body and shattered before my very eyes. My lifeless body hit the ground and joined the shards of the soul as well…

(End Event)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Killer as always Saiyan" Jo remarked.

"Jo go and make sure the rest of KMAS are alright. I'll go face Heihachi myself" Saiyan instructed.

"You got it!" As she descended the staircase Saiyan Rage went over to DevilKaz's corpse.

"Nothing personal, it's just I can't have anything happen to Kazuya. See you in Hell Traitor!"

And with that she ascended the stairs.

LEGACY OF KMAS CHAPTER 29
THE WILDCARD IS DEALT

EVENT: THE ROAD TO THE RESEARCH CENTER
TRACK: BEATING ON THE SHIP (Streets of Rage)

"So you are certain that this is the correct location?" the gloomy man asked the driver.

"Yes I'm more then certain, all my info is 98% accurate!" spoke the silver-haired driver.

"And I guess the remaining two percent is why that kid almost got run over"

"Look I'm sorry about that. You were the one screaming step on it!"

"But that doesn't mean hit everything you see either smart ass!"

The two mysterious people had left the Paraferno, a massive hotel located in the City of Goddsand, not too long ago. The very place Jin Kazama was heading for. At this time Saiyan Rage and DevilKaz were having their showdown.

"That boy looked very familiar" spoke the grim man.

"How so?" spoke the driver.

"I don't know, I just know I've seen that hoodie before. It looked kinda like…Nah…"

"What? Who do you think it was?"

"Forget it!" he demanded.

The two were now driving along the road which passed by the Dark City Citadel and the FireWood Forest. The silver car sped down the road and now headed past Dark Woods!

"You know this ain't such a bad place! I'd like to come and see this Citadel sometime! Hell of a lot of nice looking forests too!"

"Why? What would you do go camping with your son?" the driver laughed a little

"THAT'S NOT FUNNY!" the grim one spoke.

"I'm sorry" spoke the driver realizing his cruel joke was a mistake.

"To think Heihachi wants to destroy all of this!" the dark being spoke again.

"Why do you care all of a sudden?"

"You have to care about things like this. Otherwise there's no point in saving them from such destruction!"

"Whatever, you just better be careful in there. Who knows what Heihachi could have in there"

"Excuse me, your coming too!"

"What?"

"You heard me! Even if I have to drag you! You have to go in there and get any of those gullible KMAS fools out of there after I take out Heihachi!"

"Are you sure that's wise?"

"Trust me for once!"

"I did and look where it got the both of us last time!"

"Well excuse me for having an inner crisis!"

"Inner crisis? That making a molehill out of a mountain if you ask me! You almost got killed! Again!"

"Would you give it a rest? Well I'll be damned we're here!"

The large building loomed over the lands. It was a tall grayish building with a shade of red windows underneath an Ebony top. The two jumped out of the car. The driver came to join his accomplice, who was just now adjusting his sunglasses and his ebony trench coat.

"Are you ready Lee?" the gloomy one spoke.

"Ready as I'll ever be!" Lee spoke as they advanced inside the building.
