This is a place where players all across Tokyo come to test their might and skills against the AI and other players. It's a place where there are lots of flashing lights and loud noises, as well as prizes. There is even a lazer-tag arena to boot, for those who are wanting a good time.
Katya had been standing in front of a game for awhile now. Xianlong watched as the redhead managed to get a high score on a side-scrolling beat-em-up. She smiled as she watched her new friend kick but. "You have a natural talent for this!" Xianlong cheered. "I do?""Wait, keep going! You're almost at the end of the level!" While Xianlong cheered and Li-Mei was playing a game for children, there were several armed men, walking around asking for information on their escaped experiment. The man pointed at the girl playing the game. Li-Mei catches wind and tugs at her cousins's pants. Xianlong brushes her aside, until she turns around and sees the Tekken Force Soldiers. "Katya! We need to go! Now!" "Right after I finish this level!""GET OUT!" Xianlong shouted, finally yanking the young woman from the arcade cabinet. Katya was disappointed, but Xian lead the girl and her cousin out in the back exit. That was when there were more Tekken Force soldiers outside waiting for them. Li-Mei clung onto Katya, as Xianlong initiated her fighting stance. "If you guys want Katya, you're going to have to go through me! I'm not pushover! I'm an action movie-star in training. I'll kick your asses! Just like Bruce Lee!"Xianlong watched as one of the soldiers attempted to grab Katya. She quickly steps in, swinging in her right leg, sending the soldier flying. A pair of soldiers then raised their guns. "We will shoot if you don't cooperate." "Over my dead body!"
Just as the soldiers fired, Xianlong immediately dropped to the ground. The soldiers then thought they had her, but were soon greeted by a kick to the face [Spring Kick]. Xianlong lands on her two feet, as she then sends in a spinning sweep kick, turning into a roundhouse [Rave Spin Kick], to knock several soldiers back. Soon more were swarming, as Xianlong wasn't sure how much longer she could hold this. She looked behind her as well as to the side, and counted five Tekken Force soldiers. This was going to be a risky maneuver for her. But it was worth the gamble. Can she protect her cousin and her new friend? Of course she can. Smiling with confidence, she threw a left straight at the soldier that was in front of her. As planned, he blocked her fist. Using her right, hand, she throws in a gut punch, stunning the man, as she then sends in a flurry of punches to him [Razor Punch Comb], quickly sending in a leaping drop kick to push her back [Dragon's Whip]. She lands on another soldier, and puts him in a sleeper hold [Sleeper Hold], cracking his neck. She gets up as the three of them assault her at once, with one of them sneaking up behind her. She sends in several spinning hooks to stun him [Spinning Back Blow] before advancing forward with a low kick, followed by a head kick [High and Low Kick]. The one behind her almost grabs her, but she performs a backflip [Flip Flit Flop], knocking the soldier over, before standing on one leg in a flamingo-like stance [Phoenix Illusion], ready to strike. She then charges as she spins around, gaining momentum and delivering a well-aimed decisive revolving kick to the side of her opponent's head [Phoenix Strike], knocking him out completely. She stood her ground, awaiting her opponents' next move. Katya had watched in amazement as this girl had defended her. She used her bare fists and feet. Didn't need t rely on weapons. It was a spectacle to see. Plus, the way she handled everything, she had so much confidence in her abilities and strengths. She was indeed one tough chick. Could Daniel do the same? As well as Mr. Lei and the others? "You're not taking Katya! Katya is staying with me!" She stands her guard. One of the soldiers then engaged Xianlong, distracting her to snatch Katya, dragging her away. Another one grabs Li-Mei. Unfortunately, as luck would have it, the soldiers took them away. Xianlong quickly took out the soldier and ran after her cousin's kidnappers. "Hey! She's just a little girl! Do you want to add kidnapping to your list of offenses?"

Meanwhile, down the street...
His eyes were laserfocused on everything and anything in the room, beneath that leather mask he closely studied every cheap bauble on the desk, every plaque and award on the wall. Through his haze, he heard bits and pieces of what Dad was saying to the Japanese man in the suit, he saw them shaking hands, and signing papers.
"...this Tournament will..."
"Oh, he's stronger than..."
"than a bag of hammers but he..."
Abel wasn't following the conversation closely, but he knew that this meant he'd get to hit more people. Hitting people made him feel good, made him feel like he wasn't screaming in his own head anymore. Even as he stood patiently at seven feet tall, he was adjusting his black leather glove, when suddenly he suddenly snapped his head to the side. He'd heard something, the sounds of crashing and impact. By the time the men looked to him, jokingly asking him for a "signature", the masked man had vanished from the room.
That's because he was currently down the street, taking long steps with those long legs of his, wearing his red combat uniform (He didn't know why, something about "publicity" or "pictures"), and his red-clad right arm suddenly shot outward, his bicep aiming for the throat of the man holding the girls in a vicious, vicious clothesline. The impact, if it hit, would be absolutely sickening. Apparently, Abel didn't know the meaning of the term "holding back". Or "mercy". Or "not hitting people".

e-shuushuu.net/images/2011-12-08-457885.jpeg A woman with dark raven hair walked through the street of Japan, it was unlike her normally to find herself outside on a day like this. But something told her that she had to sense such a thing, her dark brown eyes transfixed on the scene that was unfolding near the newfound arcade center. Something she wasn't accustomed to since she had not seen an arcade this widely popular before, it had been several years since she had been to the city. A thought crosses her mind as she felt a strange fighting presence inside the arcade, adrenaline pumping inside her she briefly swept the legs of a few Tekken Force soldiers. The woman grabbed the young girl's arm and dashed out of the arcade, sustaining a few bullet wounds from the soldiers that were pursing them. The raven haired woman with dark eyes, and pale skin, looking to be strongly Japanese. "Go on...get out of here! It isn't safe with them..go!"
The woman said to them in a stern orderly manner, as the soldiers were already baffled with the confusion and would catch on soon if the two girls didn't act quickly enough. The strange Japanese female fighter stood her ground as she baited enough time to allow the two girls to escape, carefully analyzing when she will make her escape as well seeing that she would be outnumbered by the soldiers soon. She gave the soldiers a tantalizing stare, as she kept her stance tight, holding everything together. Her legs were steady and were solid. "Come.."

The Tekken Force Soldier who got clotheslines dropped the small Hong-Kong Islander as the girl quickly got on her little feet and ran as fast as she could to her cousin who was running after her. Xianlong welcomed her little cousin in her arms as that now left the Tekken Force soldier who was carrying Katya, who had been struggling. Xianlong approached the wrestler without fear, thanking him. After all, he may be her ticket to show business.
"So, what's a guy like you doing in Japan? Is there another King of Iron Fist Tournament going on?"
Katya found herself freed from another fighter, a woman. But for whatever reason, her head started hurting. She wasn't sure why or what had happened, but she was grateful of that woman.
The Tekken Force were ordered to capture Katya. Dr. Lumina needed her. And she escaped, and she's also a danger to the community, and for the safety of everyone, they had to catch Katya.
"Wh-who are you?" She asks Jun, finally when she was able to speak, in spite of her migraine that she was currently having.

The seven foot monster of a man stood with his hands down at his sides, glaring down at the collapsed armed guard with a dull expressionless look in his eyes. The way that mask was cut and designed, it looked like it was carved out of granite, like he were a red gargoyle instead of a human being made of flesh and blood. The second he saw the guard twitch and start to "come to", he bent down instantly to grab the thug by his jacket, slamming him down on the sidewalk, and then lifting up and hurling the poor bastard across the street, where he hit the front bender of a parked car with a sickening 'thud', bouncing back down on to the sidewalk and laying still.
Abel was still looking over across the street, idly and absent mindedly adjusting his right black leather glove, when the words of the small Chinese girl caught his attention. Instantly, the big man's focus snapped entirely on to Xianglong, his head tilting quizzically. If he understood what she was saying, he didn't answer right away, and it seemed he wouldn't at all because at just that moment, a man dressed in a fleshy, expensive gaudy blue suit was charging down the street angrily. He stepped in front of the red engine of destruction, and instantly the masked man's eyes flashed in recognition, stepping backward in respect even as the preacher man spoke.
"What is this?! My boy Abel will not be distracted by any ridiculousness, you all should be ashaamed of yourselves! Come here, boy, we're taking you away from all this distraction, thought this damn country was civilized..."
When the man walked, Abel followed. But before he did, he turned around to glance at the two girls one last time. When he went to bed tonight, for the first time in his young life, he'd have more questions in his head than answers.

The woman tried to shoo the young Chinese girl away about the matter. She didn't want any more danger to happen to her already as it was instinctively something that she couldn't avoid a second time of the soldiers were going to come. The woman had a fierce look of determination on her features as if she was trying to figure out how to get this girl to go. Seeing that she was having some strange struggle with it all, she had no choice but to move. Just like the wind she grabbed the young Chinese girl and hightailed it out of the scene and behind one of the cars that were parked outside of the arcade.
Ducking down lowering her body she took a long look at the Chinese girl. Being discreet as possible when speaking to her, she wasn't supposed to be in the city at all. But she had to find some information on what had been happening the past years. Somethings just didn't seem to feel right or set right with her and she had to find a way to get her answers as soon as possible. Closing her eyes she abruptly spoke in a much calmer tone, seeing as the number in soldiers have died down.
"I think that most have gone now...listen, you should go while the numbers are few...please..it still isn't safe here..there seems to be more trouble around here.."
The strong Japanese woman said with a firm yet motherly type of tone while speaking to the young girl. She breathed in softly as she felt the winds seem to have died down as such. Allowing more of the crowd that was gathering to disperse. The woman moved from the car and out into an alley way, where then she had disappeared from sight.

Katya didn't know what had happened. The eye on her hand was burning, and the wing on her hip was shifting. Did the Tekken Force tranquilize her? What was happening? She held her head in agony, groaning in pain. Once Jun told her that the coast was clear, Katya, not wanting to be rude, gave the Japanese woman a thumbs up before passing out.
"Not much for words, eh?" Xianlong said. "The name's Xianlong. You can just call me Cheyenne... if my name is hard to pronounce." She reached her hand out for the man to shake.
Li-Mei was terrified, hiding behind her cousin. Baba was going to hear about this tonight.
Suddenly, a man in a blue suit had showed up. Xianlong saw as the wrestler appeared to have respect for him. She wondered... is this his manager?
"What is this?! My boy Abel will not be distracted by any ridiculousness, you all should be ashaamed of yourselves! Come here, boy, we're taking you away from all this distraction, thought this damn country was civilized..."
Just before anything, the man was gone. Or he would be. Xianlong grabbed her cousin's hand and pursued the two men. They were wrestlers, right? This is her one-way ticket to stardom!
"Wait! Wait! I have a few questions for you, sir!"

Amidst the situation, a young girl walked through the entrance. The black hood she wore obscuring most of her face. As she walked though the area, she took notice of one of the old game machines in the far back of the arcade. She walked towards it, pulling out a few quarters from her pocket. The all too familiar jingle of the game was heard through the arcade as she began to play, focus still seemed to be around the area and the people talking.
She listened in very closely, trying to keep her attention between the two situations in order to assert her surroundings, one of them could possibly be looking for her, she just needed to figure out which.

After Abel and his manager disappeared, Xianlong was left empty-handed. She was really hoping that maybe that guy could hook her up with some higher-ups. But it was fine, she'll have other opportunities. Lots of other opportunities. She heads back inside the arcade with her cousin who was very thankful that the scary man was gone.
Once she makes her way back in, she took notice of the unconscious Katya and checked her. She seemed fine. But what happened? She lifts the girl up to put her in a seated position. It wasn't long before Katya eventually regained consciousness, noticing that the wing on her hip was gone.
"Are you okay?"
"Yeah..."
Within a few minutes, Katya was finally back on her feet as she decided to finish playing her game. Xianlong suggested that they leave and get out of there, since the Tekken Force knew she was here, but Katya insisted that they won't come back for her. Xianlong thought otherwise and could only sigh. She had to find some way to convince that girl to leave.

The girl continued to play on, swift on the controls it seemed, her eyes seemed fully focused on the game, with her hearing focused on the sounds around her. It wouldn't be long before she over heard the conversation between the two nearby...perhaps they had something worth hearing?
The jingle of a perfect set in the bonus round was heard as her head slightly lifted to listen in better. Nothing too obvious.

Katya got back to her game, focusing her mind, ready to play. She noted that her left hand didn't have an eyeball in the palm anymore. Where did it go? She was very confused. Didn't matter, because now that she can use her entire hand, everything was easier now.
"Katya... Who were those scary men?" Li-Mei asks Katya.
"They were the Tekken Force. Must have gone after me. I think Dr. Lumina misses me."
"Dr. Lumina?" Xianlong asks.
"Baba said it was rude to kidnap people."
"Yes. It is... Dr. Lumina is not a nice lady."
"You should tell Baba! He can help stop Dr. Lumina! He used to catch bad guys! Like my big brother does now!"
"I don't know..." What good is getting Mr. Lei to stop Dr. Lumina going to do? He can take out Dr. Lumina, but there will still be Dr. Renault and Dr. Datsun to deal with.
"She has a point." Xianlong says to Katya. "Maybe Uncle Wulong can help."
"This is why we're leaving to Poland to start my new life... that way the Mishima Zaibatsu will never find me..."

The explosion of the last airship drew her back to the game, the words 'Game Over' now visible. She had overheard the entire conversation, these people seemed to know something a lot deeper...perhaps she could get more on it...?
She hadn't even noticed her gameplay sported some traction...she had to leave the area, or at least find another game, oh how she detested when a crowd came by.

Katya got further on her game that she was playing as Xianlong was still trying to reason with the girl, while Li-Mei just stood there and watched, waiting.
"Do you think it is possible that the Mishima Zaibatsu will follow you to Poland?"
"As far as I know, they don't know that my mother is even in town."
"You never know. If anything I learned, running from your problems doesn't solve anything. This Dr. Lumina scientist-lady is probably going to check Poland first. Or she might use your mother as collateral."
"I doubt it. She probably does not even know anything about my mother."
"Last time I checked, I ran a google search on your mother, and it automatically linked me to her books... and the university that she works at. So anyone after your mother will be able to find her."
"Google search? What is that?"
"It's just a web engine that finds information, kind of like an encyclopedia."
"Web engine? Does it run on spider webs?"
Xianlong didn't know how to explain it to Katya. She sighed to herself. "I need to teach you how to use a computer. Li-Mei knows how to use it, and she's only four."

Discussion about the Zaibatsu, this was something far too common on her end, yet it didn't seem to be what she wanted. Yet, it seemed as though one of them had a similar situation, other experiments had been within this area...? Perhaps she wasn't the only one...yet...as far as she knew, G-Corp had disposed of the other experiments excluding herself, she witnessed this.
The Zaibatsu did experiments as well...?
The thought of this made her body run cold, but she quickly shook her head to get the thought out, listening in further.

"I see... maybe later."
Katya groaned once she realized that it was game over for the game. She was having so much fun. Xianlong distracted her!
"Well, it's time to go... we need to leave before they send in more reinforcements."
"Aww, C'mon! One more game!"
"Fine... one more game. If the Tekken Force shows up again, I am not going to help you."
"Are you serious?"
"Yes. I am. Technically, you are Mishima Zaibatsu property. And I am committing larceny right now. They could throw me in jail, and I won't be able to start my acting career."
"But... I do not want to go back! They do horrible things! They shoot me! They trap me in a room full of poison. They force me to fight... even though I cannot do anything! Do you really want to send me back there? What if one those tests end up killing me? I knew I should not have trusted you! You are just like everyone else!"
Xianlong took a step back, watching as Katya screamed. She listened as the young woman described the horrors of her experimentation. Perhaps it was a bad idea to threaten her. She was hoping Katya would actually leave the arcade while they could. She watched as black markings appeared on her face, her eyes glowed a bright white color, and a single red bat-like wing popped out from her hip, as blood spilled everywhere.
"HOW DARE YOU BETRAY ME!"
"Katya! Relax! I was only joking!"
Katya hunched over, on her knees, trying to calm down as the wing disappeared, and so did the markings. Her eyes turned into its normal emerald color. "Sorry..." She apologized as she panted.
Xianlong couldn't believe what she had witnessed. Was this the Devil Gene that her uncle spoke of? Thankfully nobody saw this, she hoped.
"I wasn't sure if you were really going to send me back there! It's hell. Please, please do not joke about this!"
Xianlong nodded. However, she did notice that her cousin Li-Mei went missing. "Wait here. I need to find Li-Mei."
However, Li-Mei actually had went to approach a stranger. She stared and watched the raven-haired woman clad in blue hoodie. She just stared at her in curiosity.
