Minori(Cafe'- Shibuya, Japan)

[Ling Xiaoyu]

Eric and Ely originally made plans to hangout in Tokyo, but the place they picked was crowded and the line was long. So, Eric suggested that the duo would catch a quick train ride over to Shibuya to a restaurant his good friend recommended to him. Eric never had the chance to go, but since he was with Ely, now was the perfect time.

The train ride to Shibuya wasn't long at all, and upon arriving to their destination, Eric opened the door for Elysium allowing her to enter the establishment first. They were greeted by a woman, who worked there as a server. She asked them where they would like to sit and Eric chose to sit outside since it was a beautiful day.

Once reaching their table, Eric pulled the chair out for Ely, allowing her to sit. The server, handed them menus that contained their food and beverages, and one for dessert.

Eric skimmed through the menu, trying to pick out the dish that he wanted...

"May I start you off with an appetizer or something to drink?" The server asked, as she glanced at both Ely and Eric though, she had her attention on the masculine Swede..

"Um, I guess you can start me off with a water, trying to watch my figure.. haha!" Eric joked before looking over at Ely, "Don't bother trying to cheat yourself, whatever you want to get is perfectly fine.."

The server wrote down what Eric wanted, occasionally making eye contact with him, Eric noticed the woman as well, it didn't bother him as much because Eric knows that he is an attractive guy, but he also knows where his heart belongs as well..

The woman, looked over at Ely, almost in jealousy obviously thinking that they were a couple, "And for you madam?"

Elysium smiled slightly at the waitress, "Black tea please..." She said, opening the menu, her eyes scanning over the options. "This is a nice area. I haven't had the chance to make it here yet... what with all of the commotion..." She said, laughing. "I take it you've been here..." Her eyes wandered to his, "What should I order? What's your favorite thing on the menu..?" She asked, placing her own menu aside.

[Ling Xiaoyu]

Eric smiled at Ely, once her eyes met his. She asked him what his favorite item on the menu was, he didn't want to lie to her by stating that he's been here before, so he gave her a small chuckle..

"I've never been here before either, I was recommended to come here by one of my comrades some time ago, being so busy I've never had the time to come here, but, now since you're with me we can experience this place together.."

"Your pick love, we'll both try it." He said as he flashed a small smile at Ely, Eric trusted Ely when it comes to picking out things that they would both like, so, he had no worries...

Meanwhile, the woman waitress wrote down what Ely preferred as her drink, although she was becoming a little impatient with her, Eric noticed the woman's restless behavior and decided to speak up, "We're going to need a minute if you don't mind.."

Hearing this, the woman gave the duo their privacy while they picked out their meal..

[Anna Leigh Williams]

Elysium sighed, after the girl left. "So rude..." She said, shaking her head. She pursed her lips, looking at the menu, before putting it down. She was visibly frustrated.

"I have to admit Eric I came to you with ulterior motives..." She looked up at him. "I need your help..."

She took his hands, "I need help finding a girl. Her name is Lian Lei..." She passed, "She murdered my grandmother." She pulled her hands back, "My aunt believes she's on the cruise ship that Madison Grant owns. There's a lit of history there, but look... I joined her tournament.... I need to know if you'll help me find her."

Elysium was serious. "I have to kill her."

[Ling Xiaoyu]

Eric watched as the woman walked away before reverting his attention back to Ely who seemed as though she needed a favor from him. She told him that there were motives behind their plans to meet today, which sort of bummed Eric, though he set his feelings aside and listened to what Elysium needed from him.

As she spoke, Eric couldn't help but to notice the familiar name that Ely brought up, Madison Grant. Eric found himself immersed in a sticky situation, that wouldn't be so easy to wiggle himself free from.

If Elysium knew that Eric scheduled to meet with Madison, she would become suspicious of his actions, jeopardizing their friendship. But, if he backpedaled and refused to show up on the cruise ship with Madison, eventually Ely's safety would be hanging in the balance..

Sighing, Eric ran his fingers through his hair trying to cope with the decisions that he would have to make eventually, his brown eyes looked into Ely's almost sternly..

"Alright Ely, I'll help you. But, I need something else besides just a name. I need a physical description as well.." Eric thought he might as well take a look around the ship for Lian since he will be meeting Madison there shortly..

[Anna Leigh Williams]

Elysium nodded. "There's no photo of her... Yet." She said, sipping her tea. "She's Chinese. Medium length black hair, she is... Somewhat small..." She said. "I'll try to find one of her when I get home later. I'm sure my father has her social security number at this rate..."

She sat in thought. "I need to speak with Madison about this whole ordeal...." She started. "but I doubt she'd give up her own niece, not for the girl who signed her son's death certificate...." She said, sipping her tea once more. She trusted Eric. Maybe it was time to tell him about Michael....

[Ling Xiaoyu]

Eric listened to Elysium describe the woman of interest that she wanted him to look for. Judging by the description that Elysium gave, it wouldn't be too hard to find her later on this evening on the cruise ship..

Just when Eric was about to respond to Elysium, he noticed a mysterious person far off in the distance, his face was covered by a mask much like the people who attacked him in Sweden. Upon further observation as the man drew closer, Eric noticed he had a gun in his holster.. He was looking around as if searching for someone...

Eric didn't say much, keeping an eye on the man hoping that he wouldn't see him... Looking at Ely, he didn't say anything but he mouthed the words: "We need to go."

He waited until another couple got up from their table, grabbed Elysium's hand and pulled her ushering her to come along searching for the nearest exit, but their efforts were deemed unsuccessful..

"Hey! There he is!" The man shouted as he rushed over to Eric and Ely, his gun now removed from its holster firing at them. Eric covered his head as he pulled Elysium through the crowd of people who were now frantic and panicking as gunshots rang out..

Running back into the building, Eric scrambled around searching for a place to keep Ely safe, looking over towards the kitchen Eric ran behind the front counter into the chef's kitchen, "Move! Move!" He yelled, trying to get the employees to move out of the way, taking a left, he came across a pantry closet where they kept all of their supplies, it wasn't locked, quickly Eric shoved Ely into the closet closing the door behind him and shutting off the light...

"Ely.. I need you to listen to me.." Eric's voice was quiet not wanting anyone to hear him, "In the hospital, Marcella gave me a folder... she is targeting me under orders of the Mishima Zaibatsu, under the assumption that I am a wanted fugitive and menace to society, the people out there are trying to kill me because someone else is framing me..."

Eric had huge skeletons in his closet, some of which he didn't even put there, he thought it was best to tell Ely the truth in order to protect her.. "If you want to live, you HAVE to stay away from me.. As much as it hurts you, as much as you want to stay around me, you cannot.."

He would occasionally look under the door to see footsteps or if anyone was around.. Looking back at Ely, he cupped her face with his hands, "We're going to have to separate from here on, once the coast is clear, we go our separate ways..."

[Anna Leigh Williams]

Before Elysium could even think, Eric was pulling her away from shooting men. Instinctively, she pulled her pistol from her purse, and was about to fire back when Eric pulled her into a closet with him.

"....I don't understand! What were you--" before she could even finish her sentence, he was gone.... Elysium took a deep breath, holding her gun close. She slowly stepped out, cautious. The men were gone. She placed the pistol back in her bag, and looked around. It would seem the men only wanted Eric.

She shook her head, walking out of the restaraunt. She pulled her phone out and dialed her step mother...

[Ling Xiaoyu]

Upon leaving Elysium, Eric found a hallway that led towards the outside of the building. Thinking that everything was clear, Eric ran out of the building and down an alleyway, he wouldn't get very far however as a matte black van came from nowhere. Someone mysterious to him opened the door, and hauled him into the vehicle and without any hesitation sped off away from the scene

Marcella was still in her office when she heard her phone ringing, she was preoccupied by the computer as she was typing away at her keyboard still researching about her intended target.

Looking at her phone, she noticed Elysium was calling her. "Hey Ely! Are you okay?" She answered, waiting for a response from her step-daughter..

Marci already knew about the incident in Shibuya, and wanted to talk to Elysium about Eric. "I'm still at work, but meet me in my office, I have some things to explain to you.."

[Anna Leigh Williams]

"I'm fine.... Well... I'm more confused than anything..." She said, walking down the street. "Eric was just nearly murdered, and he ran off. He didn't tell me where he was going, where to meet him, or anything, he just ran." Elysium shook her head. He clearly didn't know how to handle stressful situations.

She pursed her lips. "...do you know what's going on?" She asked.

Yinding came alone and ordered a tea. On that afternoon, he read a poster about The King Of The Iron Fist Tournament which would be initiated by the party other than the Mishima Zaibatsu.

Connor was sitting at a table in this cafe.The waiter brought him the coffee he had ordered. While drinking coffee he had another flashback, put down the cup and held his head with one hand

Connor thought to himself

"shit .... It's already the second attack on this day ... But I still don't understand what they mean... It doesn't look like the Mishima Zaibatsu laboratory."


As soon as the headache ended he sipped his coffee again.

[connormiles16]

Connor kept thinking to himself, and the coffee cooled

"Maybe I should talk to some of these new flashbacks of mine ...What I remember is a word or name that starts with L.....It is a kind of mansion, But The only ones I know who have a name that starts with L are Lars, Lee and Lei, But I don't think it's them ... What do they have to do with me?But I don't think it's them ... Maybe I'll find out more with the next flashbacks... but to do this, i have to abandon my mission ... i can't have any more thoughts in my mind ... i hope that Kazuya continues to leave me alone ... i let Jin do the job ... i can't give a damn less...If I continue like this my wife and son will not come back to Life. This revenge would be useless ... I prefer to focus on these flashbacks ..."


He took another sip of coffee and spat it out

"that sucks it's cold ..."


He washed his mouth with water.

"blah ... And I also have to pay it ..."
