Chapter 11

Xiaoyu smiled blissfully. His skin was so unbelievably soft. The feel of it against her own sent a wave of happiness through her body. She knew she was ready to tell him those beautiful words you save for the one you really love. Aishteru…

"Jin I-"

She suddenly stopped. She could hear twigs snapping close by. Jin looked at her.

"What is it?" he asked. She quickly hushed him, stirring him to look over to where she was staring. She looked back at Jin.

"You don't hear it?"

She suddenly heard another twig snap and widened her eyes. Jin frowned.

"I hear it now" he said darkly. Xiaoyu looked at him anxiously, waiting for him to look back at her.

"Lie still…I'll go and see what it is" he whispered. Xiaoyu rolled her eyes, he was being too protective once again.

"You don't need to whisper. I'll go see"

Jin watched her quickly stand up.

"No Xiouyu!" he yelled, watching in shock as she fell to the ground with the sound of a gunshot.

"No!" he dived towards her limp body, wincing at the sight of the bullet wound in her heart.

"Xiou…" he whispered, cradling her body to him. He studied her perished form, her face bearing a lifeless expression. He trembled and held her close to him, his tears falling onto her cold skin. Feeling a deep, deep rage surging through him, he lied her back down and stood up, facing towards the direction of the gunshot.

"Face me you coward!" he yelled fiercely as tears fell from his incensed eyes. There was no response. He breathed in deeply.

"SHOW YOURSELF!"

The silence was broken by the sound of two gunshots, both punctuating his body. Jin staggered back and looked down. Blood seeped from his wounds. He flinched and fell to his knees.

Confident that the target was now rendered defenceless, the commander emerged from behind the trees, holding onto his gun firmly. He stepped defiantly towards the infamous Jin Kazama, now reduced to a bloodied mess. Jin looked up at him, groaning in pain. The commander clenched his fist and slammed it into the back of Jin's neck, propelling him forward.

"I always knew I'd find you" he smirked, watching Jin struggle before him. Jin felt the blood draining from his body.

"However…I didn't know I'd be the one to kill you" he continued smugly. Jin spat out blood and dug his fingers into the ground.

"I'm not dead yet" he whispered. The commander looked at him and frowned before turning towards Xiaoyu.

"No, but she is" he taunted, then shook his head. "I hope Heihachi-san understands that she had to die…"

Jin looked up at him and then at the lifeless body of Xiaoyu, his only love. Confronted with the full horror of her death, Jin clenched his eyes shut and decided to succumb to the nightmare that lived in his blood. He decided to awaken the dark spirit within, and could already feel the burning fire penetrating his soul. The possession had begun.

"Fear the wrath of God…" he hissed, his voice transforming into a demonic growl.

"What did you say?" the commander sneered mockingly. He stared at Jin intently and then smirked.

"You'll join her soon enough…"

However his face dropped as sparks of electricity began to zap around Jin's hunched over body.

"Holy shit…" he said out of shock. He took a step back at the sight of black markings burning into Jin's skin. He winced at the sound of Jin's demonic cries, and could visibly see the mutation in his spine spreading to his skull.

"What the hell is happening…" he said shakily as he grabbed his radio. "For fuck sake, hurry!" he yelled to the recipient. Suddenly a bolt of electricity shot towards the radio and incinerated it beyond repair. The commander cursed and dropped it onto the ground. He slowly looked towards Jin as storm clouds gathered in the sky. A hissing noise filled the air, terrifying the commander to no end.

"What are you!" he screamed at Jin while reaching for his gun.

"Stop this now!"

Thunder roared as the darkness continued to transform Jin into his devil form. The commander hastily shot at Jin but the bullets did nothing. Suddenly a bolt of lightning blasted the gun out of his hand and struck the ground around Jin, forming a ring of fire around him. The commander watched in dread as the figure of Jin slowly stood up from behind the fire, his ghostly white eyes penetrating him through the flames. The commander trembled at the sight of the sharp satanic horns on either side of Jin's scowling face.

Breathing in deeply, Jin stepped through the flames and stood over the commander, his black wings spreading out menacingly. The commander gazed in shock as the bullet wounds evaporated in front of his very eyes.

"Not…possible" he trembled. Jin lifted his claw-like hands towards the commander, but froze as he heard the sound of distant helicopters. He looked up to see the stormy sky filled with choppers belonging to the force. The commander, quickly regaining confidence now that the force had arrived, sneered at Jin.

"You can't escape" he said firmly. Jin's gaze remained on the choppers before slowly returning to the commander. A smile played on his lips.

"I don't plan on escaping" he hissed. The commander frowned in confusion and then cried out as Jin clutched onto him and flew up into the air. The men in the choppers watched in alarm, unsure of what to do. Jin soared high into the air until he was above one of the choppers. The commander winced as he felt Jin's claws dig into his body. He then looked down and screamed at the sight of spinning propeller blades.

"NO!" he wailed.

"You deserve much worse than this" Jin said darkly. The commander kicked and thrashed in his arms.

"YOU CAN'T DO THIS!" he screamed desperately.

"Burn in hell" Jin hissed before hurling him into the blades. He plunged into the machine with such force that it sent the helicopter hurtling into the one beside it. Jin watched from above as the two machines crashed onto the ground. The carnage brought a smile to his face, however the sight of Xiaoyu's lifeless body nearby panicked him. He dived down towards her body and stood over her. She was lying in a foetal position, as if she were sleeping. He stepped over her and stood before her body defensively. He raised up his arms and smiled as heavy rain began to fall from the sky, putting out the flames of the burning machinery.

Suddenly an army of men from the force materialised before him, forming a line in front of the forest. Some appeared from behind the trees, others jumped out of the remaining helicopters. Each man was masked and wearing a bullet-proof vest, his gun pointing at Jin. The thunder roared around them all, as lightning struck throughout the clearing. Jin felt the rain hit against him, and tilted his head back so it fell onto his face. Feeling a power beyond anything he'd ever felt before, he let out a deafening screech as lasers shot out from his eyes into the sky. Justice was in his reach.

Author's Note: It has been a while since I wrote the last chapter, but I got into the spirit of things pretty quickly. I'm quite tired so I'm going to relax now and work on an update soon. Thanks for reading.
