In front of the Mishima Zaibatsu

[White Tiger]

After having left her native Peru for a long trip that would take her to Japan where she probably would find her 'preys' if she coud call the Devil gene users like that, Chaska just arrived in Tokyo today. She was now standing in front of the Mishima Zaibatsu main building.

A little impressed by the massive high-tech structure and the many security guards around, showing the Mishima Zaibatsu's immense power, Chaska wondered what she should do: Somehow she intended to ask Heihachi Mishima about the whereabouts of his son and grandson, Kazuya and Jin since he was their enemy but she knew that Heihachi wasn't a fan of Ogre either... She couldn't come and tell him she was working for Ogre and she wanted his help... or to help him, whatever the case. They both wanted to somehow get rid of the same persons but it didn't mean they would get along...

Maybe she should try to spy around the place first, see some less important people. She still had to know more about the Mishima Zaibatsu or even about Japan... Maybe she would enroll if she could later... If she had to in the hope of learning more...

[Lei Wulong]

The Tekken Force soldiers were guarding the building after the incident earlier.  Heihachi warned them that they were lucky he was the one who waltz in with little to no security.  If it were Kazuya, he knew they wouldn't be as lucky, and that Nina is a horrible boss.  They were posted at the front of the building, guarding and making sure to attack any and all who trespass, as well as not letting anyone in unless they had an appointment.

"Fine. Let's take the bus and go to the Mishima Zaibatsu."

So after they took the bus, the group arrived to the giant conglomerate area. The place was full of soldiers. Paul asked his friends:

"Do you think there's always that much soldiers or is it that Heihachi have really been killed or somethin'?"

[Lei Wulong]

The trio were in front of the Mishima Zaibatsu that was well-guarded and armed. She took note of the security as Steve sid the same and wondered if they could fight their way in.

"Well, there's only one way to find out." Steve said, popping his knuckles.

Several of the guards approach the three. "Mishima Zaibatsu is not taking any visitors. I you have an appointment with Mr. Mishima, he has died and you will have to meet with Mrs. Williams."

"Actually, she is just the person that I need to see."

The soldiers pushed Steve and Xianlong back.

"As we said, the Mishima Zaibatsu is not open to visitors."

"Alright, guv. Fine. We'll go.". Steve raised his hands up in defense.

[White Tiger]

Paul went in front of Steve and Xianlong to protect them from the guards and told the guards:



"Okay, okay, don't fret... But we just want to know if the tournament is really over? I mean it can't be since it was organized and so many came here for that. And, huh... can we get some appointment with Mrs. Williams?"



While saying that, Paul didn't really know the ties that existed between that Mrs. Williams and his friend Steve. He didn't even figure out that this Mrs. Williams was one of the sisters he fought against in some tournaments...



Of course, Paul also wondered a lot about what was happening with the Mishima Zaibatsu but he knew they wouldn't answer those questions, that were far more inquisitives...  Like, how Heihachi died?


The guards didn't seem very patient and one of them told him: 

"We're not secretaries. Go see the Mishima Zaibatsu's website or check their phone number to call them. Now get out."

Paul was quite disappointed by the answer and very upset by the tournament's cancellation. But even if he was the toughest in the universe, he did notice the many guns they had... So he only made a displeased face and said:

"Fine" 

Yet he muttered as he turned away:

"But if I don't get any answers from your stupid website, I'm getting back here..."

[Lei Wulong]

"So much for that." Xianlong said. "I still think Uncle Wulong is right about Heihachi."

"Maybe.". Steve shrugged.

[White Tiger]

While they were going a little further away, Paul asked:

"So, Heihachi would not be dead but would want his son and grandson to think that so they would flock here to get the Zaibatsu? Or at his mansion or something? And, is Jin dead? Only Kazuya is left remaining? Well, publicly"

Looking toward the Mishima Zaibatsu, Paul said:

"I wonder if we could get a glimpse of Heihachi looking by the window? Like Elvis..."

He then looked around for a phone booth and said: "Now I'm calling for an appointment! Dead or not dead, I want the tournament back!"

He then asked Steve and Xianlong:

"Do you have their number? I won't call with your phones to not get you in trouble but I need their number." 

[Lei Wulong]

"Possibly." Xianlong shrugged. "We'll find out for sure."

Steve then tells Paul the Zaibatsu's number. "Perhaps he really is dead."

[White Tiger]

Paul went to the nearest phone booth and called the Mishima Zaibatsu.



After a moment of peaceful talk, trying to convince the secretary to either give him an appointment or to somehow decide by herself to bring back the tournament, which, she of course couldn't, Paul raised his voice, getting more upset:



"Hey, I'm the toughest in the universe and I ain't got much time to prove it."



He then seemed annoyed by the answer as he replied:



"No I ain't gonna kill myself but I still don't have much time! I can't wait ten more years for another tournament! I need it right now!"



Listening to the answer, Paul seemed disheartened.



"Yeah, I know there are other tournaments in the world but... that one was one of the greatest... Yeah, I guess... Yeah..."



Paul hanged up, quite disappointed. He went back to Steve and Xianlong and said:



"The secretary refuses to give me an appointment with the direction... She said that we should wait for a while to pay respect to Heihachi, that I was quite rude not respecting that and that the direction will probably take a decision about it later but it was certain that the actual tournament was over."



Paul kicked a small rock in anger as he continued speaking:



"I can't wait for months until they decide to make another tournament... Hey, Jin disappeared and Heihachi quickly came back to organize a tournament, I gotta find Kazuya who will quickly come back to organize a tournament. Where is G-Corp? I'm gonna force Kazuya to organize it or simply ask him to confront me."

[Lei Wulong]

"Hmm... perhaps Uncle Wulong is wrong, and Heihachi is really seriously dead. Huh..." Xianlong thought outloud.

"Either way, a dead Mishima is a good Mishima."

When Paul asked about where G-Corp is, Xianlong found the address to the building. "It's right over there... a couple of blocks away!"

[White Tiger]

"Oh, cool! Let's go."

While going toward G-Corporation, Paul did wonder something.

"I wonder where is Kuma? Is he crying for his master or hiding with him or fishing salmon?"

[Lei Wulong]

Xianlong shrugged. "I hope he's doing okay. With the loss of his owner and whatnot."

"A world without Heihachi Mishima is hard to imagine."

[Lei Wulong]

Lei made his way to the Mishima Zaibatsu, waving his badge as he demanded to speak with Heihachi. While the guards and receptionist told him that he was dead, Lei simply replied, "I'm not stupid! I know he faked his own death."

"Again, Heihachi Mishima is dead. We will have his funeral in a few days."

"Well, either way, he will be exposed for what he has done. Now that I've got enough information, I'll expose Heihachi for who he is."

"How disrespectful. Talking so ill of the dead."

Lei then puts his badge away after realizing that this wasn't going to work. He sighed as he walked away. "I suppose I'll have to return when I get my search warrant." Truth be told, Lei didn't have any jurisdiction at the moment on account of being on vacation. Sighing quietly to himself, Lei retreated back to his car, only to be approached by a man in a black suit.

"Excuse me, Detective Lei, Mr. Heihachi agrees to meet you."

Lei nodded, bowing respectfully. "Where is the place?"

"Follow me. We will escort you directly to him."

At first, Lei didn't like the idea of just taking some stranger's word at face-value. This is usually how people who meddle too much get killed. However, seeing that this was his only lead, he reluctantly followed the man, but he was on high alert in case this man was an assassin sent to kill him.
