The Awakening of the Rivals
















The old complex in the Mishima Laboratories laid there, untouched by any scientist who valued his life. Going into restricted areas was something you shouldn't do, especially when Heihachi Mishima regained his post as CEO of the Mishima Zaibatsu and owner of the Mishima Financial Empire. The world has changed so much since 1996, the year of the climatic events of the 2nd Iron Fist Tournament. It was the new century, and the new millennium. Technology had advanced so far, along with a technology the MFE had recently acquired, biotechnology. Kazuya had started on it, then something he didn't expect happened, and he was defeated and killed. When Heihachi took back control, all those who went over to Kazuya's side lost their jobs, including Heihachi's own stepson, Lee Chaolan. He lost a lot of workers thanks to that miscalculated decision, but he quickly regained workers, especially in the laboratories. But, due to his earlier decision to get rid of anything Kazuya had started, the cryogenics complex was closed off. Heihachi was merciful to the poor subjects locked in the capsules and didn't switch off the power to the complex.
Now, something was about to change

There were two capsules submerged in the freezing liquid nitrogen. Originally, there were three, but one was abducted mysteriously. The two that remained contained two fighters missing from the end of Tekken 2. The Williams Sisters, Nina and Anna. Both had been "asleep" for 15 years, nearing the end of their term in cryogenics. But something strange happened with capsule 1; the one Nina was contained in.
Stuck in a near-permanent dream world, Nina was wandering through the outer reaches of her mind, when she envisaged a tall man with green skin, dressed in the suit of an Aztec Warrior. She couldn't speak, but yet the man spoke to her.

"You havestrong. fighting spirit" he spoke

Nina felt confusion.

"Youkill too" he continued, and then produced a picture of a young boy, lying unconscious in a woodland. He had such handsome looks, and was well built. Compared to the giant muscled mass of the green man, he didn't pose such threat, yet the man gave his request

"Kill the boy," he said

Nina refused mentally

"Kill the boy," he repeated.

Nina refused again

The man frowned, his face grew dark, but his eyes glowed bright red. He lashed out his arm and grabbed Nina's forehead, holding it tight. Nina struggled to break free, but started to convulse. Shaking all over, she couldn't break free from his grip. She felt the Hoover-like suction, along with the feeling of her brain leaving her skull.

"Kill the boy," he said again, this time in a threatening manner, "Or you will lose more then what I have taken from you!"

The man then let go. Nina's form fell to the floor unconscious, and then, for the first time in 15 years. She opened her eyes, in her physical form, and saw the dark, black ceiling of the complex. She didn't recognise the building at all, she just stared at the ceiling vacantly for a few minutes before sitting upright.
She felt dizzy and sick when she crawled out of the capsule, flopping to the floor when she got her whole person out. Cold, naked and ill, she looked back to the capsule. The technology of it looked so strange to her, like an alien spacecraft, only that she was sure she came from Earth. A sudden beeping shot out from nowhere, she looked to where the beeping had come from. She looked at it and saw the inanimate object, with assorted bits and bobs, buttons, levers and lights. In curiosity, she pressed one. The beeping blared out again, followed by the sound of bubbling water. She looked towards the pool and saw that another capsule was rising out of the freezing liquid. When it was fully suspended out from the pool, a giant hiss shot out from its sides and it opened up. Nina, though dizzy and shivering, walked towards it and stared a puzzled gaze. For the first minute, nothing happened, then a figure shot out from the capsule. Nina jumped back in fright and saw what jumped out. The shapely curviform figure that seemed familiar to her lay beside her. She stuck out her hand to see if it moved. She touched the figure, and her hand was swat back. The figure got up and looked at her.

"You!" it spoke and swiped at her

Nina jumped back from the swipes, and then something pulsed in her mind. With this sudden pulse, she spoke.

"Who are you?" she said

"Don't play such mind games, you know who I am!" her opponent replied and took another swipe at her.

"What mind games? I'm not fooling you!" Nina exclaimed, "Who are you? What is this place and why are you attacking me?"

The figure stopped swiping.

"Are you sure?" she asked her

"Yes!" was Nina's irritant reply, "I don't know where the hell I am, and you swiping at me isn't helping!"

That when they heard something. They looked to the side and saw the heavy steel door open, making a potential exit.

"A way out!" Nina's unknown copain cried, "Let's go!"

"What?" said Nina dumbfounded, "Right now? Without clothes?"

"Hmm, you're right there" she replied, and thought for a minute, "Don't worry, I have a plan."

"What's the plan?" Nina asked

"You'll find out soon enough" she replied and headed for the exit, with Nina following behind her

"Wait, what's your name?" Nina asked

"Huh? Oh yeah," her partner replied, "My name's Anna."
