Chapter 3 - Episode 4: Killer Instinct

(The episode begins looking at a mountainside. A cave is seen on the side of the mountain as birds fly overhead. The camera cuts to inside the cave as a lit candle fills the screen. A figure is seen behind it. We cut again to see the closed eyes of Heihachi Mishima, meditating. The entrance to the cave is seen behind him, sunlight pouring through. A figure walks into the cave as Heihachi opens his eyes.)

Heihachi: Anata wa watashi ni chōsen shi ni kimashita. (We cut to the figure who entered the cave, revealing himself to be Jago.)

Jago: You are the one calling yourself the King of Iron Fist, are you not? (We cut to Heihachi, surrounded by a circle of lit candles. He gets up and faces Jago.)

Heihachi: An English speaker. No matter. Yes, I am the one you speak of. Heihachi Mishima, King of Iron Fist.

Jago: You have threatened the town below, fighting its warriors.

Heihachi: And you have come to stop me. The townspeople are far too weak to fight one from the Mishima bloodline, so they send one not from their world to stop me.

Jago: I was not sent. I chose to face you myself.

Heihachi: (Smiling.) Then you are a fool. And a foolish warrior does not hold a flame to one such as myself. (Heihachi throws a punch forward.) Yah! (The flames on the candle go out, plunging the cave into darkness. We cut back to Jago as he looks around.)

Jago: Only a coward would hide in the dark to face his opponent!

Heihachi: This would not pose a problem to a truly skilled fighter. (Jago holds up his fists, ready to face Heihachi.) Besides, I will not be the first opponent you will face!

Jago: Huh?

???: Uuuuuursa! (Suddenly, an Ursaring (Pokemon) charges out from the darkness and tackles Jago out of the cave. Jago falls to the ground as the Ursaring claws at him. Jago blocks the swipes with his arms. He then kicks the Ursaring back and uses his arms to backflip onto his legs in a crouched position. Heihachi walks out of the cave and stands next to the Ursaring.)

Heihachi: I have always had an affinity for bears, and this one has been incredibly easy to train.

Jago: Do you not fight with honor? Two against one gives you the unfair advantage.

Heihachi: (Laughs.) You will merely fight Ursa here to prove that you can challenge me. Now, fight! (The Ursaring charges forward again and swipes at Jago. Jago slides back before doing a flying kick into the Ursaring. Jago then performs two more kicks and an uppercut, sending the Ursaring back. Ursaring falls to the ground. It gets up and uses Hammer Arm, swinging its arm onto Jago and knocking him to the floor.)

Ursaring: Ursaring! (The Ursaring attempts to stomp on Jago, but he rolls out of the way and jumps back up. He then runs up, punches twice, does a bicycle kick into the Ursaring's chin, and finishes with a punch to the chest as the Ursaring flies back, fainted. Jago takes out his sword and looks at Heihachi.)

Jago: You're next.

Heihachi: (Smiling.) Your fighting is impressive, but your true challenge begins now. (Heihachi runs towards Jago. Jago swipes at Heihachi as he ducks and delivers a spinning kick at Jago's knees. As Jago falls, Heihachi uppercuts Jago, sending him backwards.) I have not felt a rush like this in some time. (Heihachi clenches his fists and stomps the ground. Jago gets up and charges towards Heihachi, slashing his sword into Heihachi's chest three times. Heihachi then punches Jago and delivers a kick into his stomach. Jago rolls backwards onto his feet and throws a fireball into Heihachi's chest.)

Jago: Endokuken!

Heihachi: Agh! (Heihachi is blown back.)

Jago: I will end your reign! (Jago runs towards Heihachi and does a flying kick into him. He then slashes at Heihachi multiple times in quick succession. Heihachi catches Jago's arm mid-swing as a red aura surrounds him, his rage. Heihachi swings Jago over his head onto the ground. He then punches Jago further down with a large punch into his back.)

Heihachi: You will not best me! (Heihachi prepares another punch as Jago suddenly slashes at Heihachi's chest.) Ragh! (Heihachi falls to the ground, clutching his chest. He removes his hand, revealing blood.) Blood... (Jago walks up to Heihachi and grabs him by the collar.)

Jago: I'm afraid your path ends here. (Jago walks to the side of the mountain where there is a cliff and holds Heihachi above it.)

Heihachi: I'll be back, warrior. (Jago lets go as Heihachi falls off the cliff. We hear a thud as Jago begins to walk away.)

Jago: I respect your strength, but I could not take any chances.

(We cut to Heihachi laying on the ground, blood still spilling out of him. He's barely holding onto life.)

???: Perhaps you are finally past your prime. (Heihachi looks up to see Master Mind floating above him, looking down on him.) I can help you.

Heihachi: Who... who are you?

Master Mind: Think of me as an admirer. A fan. You are a great warrior, Heihachi Mishima. I have heard of your exploits.

Heihachi: How do you know this?

Master Mind: I have traveled across worlds, hearing of a warrior from the Mishima family, ruthless like no other. But meeting you now near the brink of death... it seems the mighty have fallen.

Heihachi: I am not yet finished... I can...

Master Mind: I am offering you my assistance. I am the only one who can save you in this state.

Heihachi: Why do you want to help me?

Master Mind: To return you to your former glory. (Master Mind extends his hand.) A man of your strength would be foolish to decline, and you are no fool. You are a king. (Heihachi reaches out and grabs Master Mind's hand. We hear Heihachi scream as the screen suddenly turns black.)

(The scene changes to that of a small town. The mountains are seen in the background as lights appear from a city even further away. We cut into an alleyway as we see a crowd of people surrounded around Hero (Custom Robo).)

Hero: (Pointing.) Go! (The camera pans out as we see Ray (Custom Robo) flying in front of him. The camera pans around to see Ray's opponent, Sukapon. Ryo Sakazaki (Art of Fighting) and Marshall Law (Tekken) are seen among the crowd behind him.) Get 'im, Ray! (Ray flies forward and blasts at Sukapon, who side flips back in recoil. In retaliation, Sukapon throws his head into Ray, knocking him back. Sukapon spins forward with his arms over his head before doing a side flip into Ray, knocking him into a wall.) Come back, Ray! (Hero takes out his Robo Cube as Ray flies into it.)

(We cut forward in time as the crowd disperses back into town. We see Hero crouch down to talk to Sukapon.)

Hero: You put up quite the fight! Maybe we can battle again some time. (Hero stands back up and walks away. Sukapon starts up in the opposite direction. The camera pans to the entrance of the town as Jago enters, bruised. A bystander runs up to him.)

Bystander: Are you alright?

Jago: I am fine. The King of Iron Fist will not hurt this town anymore. (Jago starts off, leaving the bystander flabbergasted. We go back to Sukapon walking down the street as the sound of metal being crushed is heard. Sukapon looks around, making beeping sounds as he does. He then begins spinning towards the source of the sound. He turns the corner and is taken aback. The camera pans around to see Ryu with a dark aura around him and yellow eyes attacking a car.)

Ryu: Hiyaaa! (Ryu kicks the side door in as a man storms out of his house.)

Man: My car! (He starts towards Ryu.) You're gonna be paying for that! (Ryu glares at the man.) You're one of those other-worlders! You might think you own this whole f*cking place, but you don't! (He grabs a shovel off of his lawn and runs towards Ryu. As he swings at Ryu, Ryu delivers a chop and breaks the shovel in half. Ryu grabs the man by his shoulders.) Huh?

Ryu: You wanna rethink that? (Ryu throws the man across his lawn and starts walking towards him. Suddenly, the head of Sukapon flies through the air and hits Ryu in the side of the head, barely phasing him. He looks towards the source of it to see Sukapon as he throws more duplicate heads at Ryu.) Fine. I'll kill you too. (Ryu walks towards Sukapon as more duplicate heads hit his shoulders, slowly wearing him down.) Hadoken! (Ryu sends a Hadoken into Sukapon, knocking him backwards.)

(We cut back to Jago as he walks through town. The sound of beeping is suddenly heard as Sukapon suddenly flies behind him into the window of a store, causing an alarm to go off. Jago looks towards what threw Sukapon as the camera pans to see Ryu. We cut back to Jago.)

Jago: Looks like my job isn't done. (He pulls out his sword as we see Sukapon jump out of the broken window. We see Jago run at Ryu as he swipes his sword at him. Ryu performs a Tatsumaki Senpukyaku as Jago dives out of the way.)

Ryu: Tatsumaki Senpukyaku! (Jago then runs up and punches Ryu in the face before kicking him backwards. Ryu jumps back towards Jago and delivers a Shoryuken into Jago's chin.) Shoryuken! (Jago lands on his back as Ryu stands over him.) You put up a fight. Too bad you have to- (Suddenly, Sukapon side flips into Ryu, knocking him onto the ground. The dark aura flickers around him. We see Jago get up and look at Sukapon.)

Jago: Thanks. (Both heroes run towards Ryu as he tries to get up. As soon as he gets up, Jago kicks him in the side and he falls back down. The dark aura leaves his body. He begins to get up again as Jago puts his sword up to Ryu's throat.) Don't move.

Ryu: What...urgh...what happened? Where am I?

Jago: You attacked this town and now pretend to have lost your memory. (He pauses.) That aura around you has disappeared. Tell me, what was that?

Ryu: I... I don't know. Master Mind he... where is he? (Jago and Sukapon look at each other before addressing Ryu again.)

Jago: Who?

Ryu: He wants this world for himself. I tried to stop him, but... he won somehow. (Two police cars pull up to the store that Sukapon was thrown into. Four cops get out. One addresses Jago as he puts his sword away.)

Police: Hey, did you see who did this? (We see Ryu get up as Jago turns to him.)

Jago: You must answer for this, but you must tell me more of this Master Mind. (A shadow suddenly looms above them as our heroes look up. The cops also do as their faces turn to shock.)

Police: What the hell is that?! (They pull out guns and point them upwards as the camera pans to see what's above them. We see Heihachi now with horns and devil wings giving him flight. He resembles Devil Kazuya from the Tekken series. His form combined with Master Mind will be referred to as Dark Devil Heihachi.)

Dark Devil Heihachi: Ryu! It's been awhile since I've seen you. I see you've made some new friends. (Jago turns to Ryu.)

Jago: Is this...?

Ryu: Master Mind has found me again. (He gets into a fighting stance.) I will not let him get away this time!

Jago: No... that is the man I fought earlier, Heihachi Mishima.

Dark Devil Heihachi: Heihachi has agreed to help in my conquest in exchange for his life. (A bullet flies past Dark Devil Heihachi as he looks down to see the police shooting at him.) It is endearing how you think that can stop me. (Lasers are shot from Dark Devil Heihachi's eyes as they burn through the police, killing them all. Dark Devil Heihachi falls to the ground and looks at our heroes.) It appears that my mind control is too easily able to be broken, so I will break your bodies instead.

Ryu: I will not let you take this world!

Dark Devil Heihachi: Not take, Ryu. Destroy! (Dark Devil Heihachi releases eye lasers once more as Ryu and Jago dodge in opposite directions. Sukapon merely ducks underneath. Ryu does a flying kick towards Dark Devil Heihachi.)

Ryu: Heyah! (Dark Devil Heihachi grabs Ryu by his leg and throws him into Jago. Sukapon's head then hits Dark Devil Heihachi in his chest as the rest of Sukapon's body catches up. Dark Devil Heihachi pushes Sukapon away with his wings.)

Dark Devil Heihachi: I've had enough of you fighting robots. (Dark Devil Heihachi takes flight as we see Ryu get up in front of a car. Dark Devil Heihachi uses his laser eyes as they cut across the ground towards Ryu.)

Jago: Look out! (Jago pushes Ryu out of the way as the laser cuts through the car behind him. Dark Devil Heihachi lands next to the two heroes as he winds up a punch. We see the fist get within an inch of Ryu's face as it stops. The camera pans to see Sukapon has grabbed the fist before it could land. He's struggling to keep the fist in place.)

Dark Devil Heihachi: You have made allies that would die for you so quickly. How is this possible?

Jago: We are unkillable! (Ryu and Jago prepare a Hadoken and fireball respectively.)

Ryu/Jago: Hadoken!/Endokuken! (Both attacks hit Dark Devil Heihachi in the chest as it pushes him back. He slides next to Sukapon as he punches Sukapon far back. We see Jago run up to Dark Devil Heihachi and slash at him with his sword. Dark Devil Heihachi attempts to use his laser eyes as Jago moves his head out of the way just in time. Dark Devil Heihachi kicks Jago back as Ryu immediately takes his place. Ryu sends a punch into Dark Devil Heihachi's side before delivering another to his face. Ryu then performs multiple spin kick attacks that knock Dark Devil Heihachi to the ground.)

Dark Devil Heihachi: I see why you call yourself a warrior. (He shoots lasers out of his eyes that skin Ryu's side.)

Ryu: Gah! (He falls to the ground. We see Sukapon side flip towards Dark Devil Heihachi as he catches Sukapon in midair, holding him by the head. Dark Devil Heihachi begins to take flight.)

Dark Devil Heihachi: You have become quite a nuisance. (He squeezes Sukapon's head.) Let us see if robots can truly feel pain. (He continues squeezing as Sukapon beeps in terror. Suddenly, Jago's sword flies through the air, through Dark Devil Heihachi's wing.) Gah! (He and Sukapon fall to the ground. Dark Devil Heihachi, now not holding Sukapon, turns towards Jago and Ryu, with Ryu still on the ground.) You will pay for that! (We cut to Sukapon as he spots Jago's sword. He stretches his hands to grab it as he then sends his hands back, plunging the sword through Dark Devil Heihachi.) Gaaaaaah! (He looks down to see the sword through his chest and falls to his knees. A dark aura surrounds him. When it disappears, we see Heihachi with the sword through his chest with Master Mind floating above him.)

Master Mind: Perhaps you really are past your prime, Mishima.

Heihachi: You said... you would help me.

Master Mind: You are a lost cause. (We cut to Ryu getting up to face Master Mind.)

Ryu: I won't let you get away.

Master Mind: I won't bother to kill you here, but someone like you is bound to find me again. Take my advice... (Master Mind shoots lightning into Ryu, sending him onto the ground again.) Don't try it. (A portal opens behind Master Mind and he enters it. It disappears, leaving our heroes with a dying Heihachi. Jago approaches him.)

Jago: I thought I took care of you.

Heihachi: He said... he would save me. Had I known he was Master Mind... I would not have accepted.

Ryu: (Getting up.) You know of him too?

Heihachi: I was alive during the war he created. I stayed away from it... but word eventually traveled to me. That only a gift from the stars... was able to stop him.

Jago: We can help you. You can help us kill him.

Heihachi: (Shaking his head.) No... my time is over. Do not let the world... fall into his hands. (Heihachi pulls the sword out of his chest and hands it to Jago.) You... will... need... this... (Jago grabs the sword as Heihachi falls to the ground, dead. Jago and Sukapon approach Ryu.)

Jago: (To Ryu.) You have fought Master Mind before?

Ryu: Twice, but it has been no use.

Jago: Lead us to him. We will put a stop to him. (Sukapon spins around and makes happy beeping noises.)

Ryu: Many have fallen to him. I cannot let you accompany me unless you are certain this is what you want.

Jago: (Looks back at Heihachi.) We can't let anyone else die in his conquest for glory.

Ryu: Very well. (He looks over Jago and Sukapon. He then turns around and looks at the city.) We will travel to the city then. Surely we can find more information there. (Our heroes begin walking towards the city as the camera slowly pans up to see it.)
