Aegis Khaos 4/22/10 . chapter 1
I should've guessed I would find the story here. I've mentioned it before in TZ, but from the few chapters I read so far, they were quite good. I don't know many people who can write someone or something like Ogre as well as you do, plus you give Julia some justice. I like your style, and I like how you add a Native American feel.

Spectacular chapter. Tense and exhilirating. 'Nough said.

A very nice ending indeed, however i am sad to see this story being finished. I had too much fun awaiting each and every new installment that you provided. I hope you'll write more stories, preferably tekken ones at that since you're a very a talented writer. You really know how to keep a reader engaged in the story line. and I think that is the most important thing about being a writer.

I also loved the fact that you didn't use most of the cliches used to create tekken story lines. It was like a fresh of breath air, but still stayed true to the original element. Anyways, Hope to read more from you soon! Happy writing.

A most satisfying ending. I wouldn't say this is the best story I've read but the two chapters before me had me sold. They were beautiful. You have done a good job with your research and it is a pleasure to see it so heavily weeved into the storyline. The middle of the storyline though did get monotonous at points, especially the chapters with Xiaoyu and the fact that some of the paragraphs were big sections of narration didn't help, something that persisted until the end.

Another criticism is the constant use of metaphors and simarlies. At times they worked especially the very last one with the falling black feather baring eerie connotations to the ending of Tekken 4 but at times they just felt too pilled up and too contrived, also some of the dialogue felt stilted because the paragraphs sometimes give too little space for the words to breath upon the page. There needs to be more room. Apart from that good work, one of the chapters within this gave me inspiration for a story I'm working on so thank you regardless of the criticism.

I wish you the best.

Hplo.

This is the most satisfying ending I've read so far. It's a wonderful alternative take on the Tekken storyline. You've written the characters so wonderfully...even the ones who're not in the canon version. The reference to Julia's bracelet was a nice touch.

Thank you for this wonderful story and for using Julia Chang as your main character for this. Truly wonderful!

Well, this is quite an out-of-this-world chapter. The ritual Jin did with the water jug fascinates me.

I wonder what that promise between Jin and Julia could be? Anyway, nice reference to some of the dialogue in Julia's T3 ending.

THIS. It's weird but it's like seeing or playing Tekken Tag Tournament only 4 team members...making it more badass. I love the teamwork of these four characters.

Man, so much action in this chapter! I love how poetic you can be with words and how you give such actions likeness to a human's (the bowl lapping at Julia's blood and such). But now I wonder what will become of Julia and the rest now Ogre seemed to have transformed to its true self...

I was actually wondering what happened to the rest of the fighters before I started reading this chapter. I guess after reading that I finally got my answer. I honestly don't know or don't want to think of what exactly happened to Jane...but I guess those bastards will definitely get it soon. I love the short quip between Paul and Hwoarang. I wonder...why was the latter the only one freed while the others weren't? Or maybe they were...?

I like how this chapter gave a subtle difference between Xiaoyu and Julia - just like that other chapter where they're fighting against each other. Again, I love your characterization on Xiaoyu; that despite her outward appearance she is quite the clever and capable one. At the same time she still retains that youthful (crazy) mindset. I was actually surprised Julia didn't follow after her but that's what allowed me to see what sets these two apart: with Jules being the pragmatic one and Xiao the creative one.
howl 4/12/10 . chapter 21
Huh. Well that was such a cliffhanger. I bet Hwoarang wouldn't be satisfied with that decision. I wonder now if Heihachi is aware of Ogre appearing before Jin. Or could it be that Ogre's more of an apparition more than being their physically...? Well...read on I guess...
howl 4/12/10 . chapter 20
I like this concept where Ogre has already made its presence known by both Jin and Julia. I am amazed and somehow terrified at the scenes you've constructed - especially with Julia's. I feel a huge amount of sympathy for her...and as confused and as despondent at the words Ogre would throw at her...

Meaning you've moved me. You've made me feel for a fictional character. Wow.

I can't wait to read the next chapter. I hope to see what and how Julia, Jin and the rest would overcome this conflict. It actually got me thinking who's the lesser evil here: Ogre or Heihachi...

(p.s. I thought I saw some slight typos in this chapter but that's not like it'll affect the story itself. Still...just incase some reader might be happen to be picky and start pointing those things out...)

I love and appreciate how you update so easily. This is really a first for me as a fanfic reader - rarely do I encounter stories with quick updates.

Anyway, this chapter is wonderful. Your fighting sequence is fluid and it goes to show that you did your research for Julia and Xiaoyu's movesets - I can vividly picture thei familiar stances with your wonderful execution of the scenes. And I appreciate how you characterize Xiaoyu as mature and yet retains that familiar bubbly personality. She is much more tolerable in this fic compared to the other fics where she and Julia would be pitted against each other. I don't really like that. Anyway, kudos also on mentioning that "one child" policy in China...the yearn for a sibling by Xiaoyu was touching despite its' seemingly short mention.

I'm not sure if you do plan to add some romance on this fic, but if you do I do hope it would be as plausible and less mushy as the rest of the fic I've read. I've read mostly about Jin and Julia romances but if you prefer another pairing then I wouldn't mind that either. Just as long as the execution is good I guess.

Wow 64 reviews! I'm so happy that this fic is getting recognized (because this fic does deserve that recognition damn it). I do hope more readers will come and give reviews as well.

Wo! This is getting better and better now! Great chapter with some lovely images- the door "protested her freedom." Sweet.
