"None of this is your fault...It's Kazuya's fault. It's Heiachi's fault... He commissioned to have us made... We will show him what he created..."
Elise nodded as she was taken to the labs. Daniel was reassuring her and calming her down as he held her. She was able to think a little more clearly, but she was still very stressed out.
"Yeah... I just want to do something that I can be proud of..."

Daniel smiled, still holding her, "...You did do something to be proud of... You created Katya. She..." His eyes began to well up again, "She's the most amazing thing in this whole world..."
Daniel stood still... almost too still... His hands began to glow a bright purple, as a light began to shine in front of Elise.
"...Hello, Elise..." As the light began to dissipate, a more solid blue light took it's shape. As the light swirled, the face of Antonio O'Donoghue began to seep through. He smiled at her, kindly.

"...You did do something to be proud of... You created Katya. She... She's the most amazing thing in this whole world..."
Elise nods. "I'm glad you feel that way... Katya saved my life..."
Once she saw the light, Elise took several steps back and saw Antonio.
"Antonio!"

Antonio laughed a little, "I understand your shock, but don't be afraid..." He paused, "I was sent to you..." He said.

"Okay... Does this have to do with my baby?" Elise wondered. "What's going on?"
She wonders if maybe her unborn child has perceptive abilities... And it's shared with herself. Hence the sour feeling whenever she comes into contact with the Devil Gene.

Antonio shook his head. "This is about Lei..." He said to Elise. He held his hands out. "You... are one of the most capable women I've ever had the pleasure to know, Elise... You are capable of so much more than you know... A strength that rests deep within yourself..."
He paused, "Lei, however... He is going down a very dark path... Do not abandon him. Love him. Love him with all your heart... You have so much love to give to the world..." His hands grazed over her shoulders. "...Love is what he needs... Be with him... Always...." And the apparition disappeared.
"...I just wish that there was a way we could ensure her safety..." Daniel began to speak again. He looked at Elise, "But we will figure that out." Daniel knew that he was willing to lay himself on the line for her.

"You... are one of the most capable women I've ever had the pleasure to know, Elise... You are capable of so much more than you know... A strength that rests deep within yourself..."
Elise nods, rubbing her belly. "Nikolaj has always said that I was a very strong and gifted soul."
"Lei, however... He is going down a very dark path... Do not abandon him. Love him. Love him with all your heart... You have so much love to give to the world...Love is what he needs... Be with him... Always...."
Antonio disappeared. Elise took in several deep breaths before speaking. "I don't know if I can help him... But I will do what I can."
She recalled trying to comfort Lei a few months back. And she would always be the one to help him go back to sleep whenever he had that nightmare. Seeing how much he has deteriorated since they were separated made Elise realize that perhaps moving to Japan without him was a bad idea. She wanted to stop the war. But now... She needs to save her husband.
Daniel then talked about Katya. "...I just wish that there was a way we could ensure her safety... But we will figure that out."
"Yeah... I'm sure Chairman Kazama is doing everything he can to save her."

Daniel nodded, "All I can do is hope for the best... and pray she will forgive me." He said. "...I don't eve care if she hates me for letting her go... As long as she's alive." He looked around, "So this is what you and Sorin have been doing this whole time...?" He looked at some of the items on the tables.

"I highly doubt she will be angry. Katya and I are not ones to hold grudges. I'm sure she knows that you did your best and probably appreciates the effort."
She crosses her arms.
"So this is what you and Sorin have been doing this whole time...?"
"Why yes! I've almost got it figured out. All I need is blood from a Kazama family member who does not have the Devil Gene. And I think I will have an effective cure... I hope we're not too late by then."

Daniel smiled, "...A cure..." He laughed a little, "That sounds refreshing." He said. Daniel always felt a looming presence over him, and always attributed it to the devil blood he was given. He walked over to her, hugging her again. "You guys are going to make history!" He said, smiling. "I can see it now, all over the news! Elise Kristovich discovers cure to the devil!"
He smiled at her, "It gives more hope than blowing a building up that's for sure!"

Elise nods. "That's the intent... We create a cure and defeat Kazuya and heal Chairman Kazama... That way he can settle down with that sweet girl from China."

Daniel smiled, "That'll be good for them... We all deserve peace when this is all said and done." He sat down, noticing a chair. "This has Sorin's name all over it..." He said, sitting down. There was a strange spherical device at the head that Daniel chose not to put his own head into.
He hesitated, looking around. "Can I ask you something..?" He paused. "...You worked with my father for many years... Obviously you created us. Was this one of his labs..?"

Elise, too decided to take a seat in a chair. She was feeling quite exhausted and tired right now.
She finds herself always wanting to sit down and rest, taking naps more, and having to go pee all the time. Elise rubs her stomach. She honestly wondered what it would be like to feel the baby kick.
"Can I ask you something..?"
"Yes?"
"...You worked with my father for many years... Obviously you created us. Was this one of his labs..?"
Elise nods. "Yes, this was once our workspace where we analyzed the DNA, and created the Devil Gene... And... A lot of other things."
She didn't feel like remembering those days. The painful memories still hurt. "I could remember it like yesterday, as Heihachi would be standing right there and ask us about our progress."

Daniel twiddled with his fingers, looking down. "Yeah.. I bet that was intimidating..." He said. He then looked back at her, "...What did he say about... me...?" He asked. "Did he just see me as a project? Or... Did he actually view me like... Well, a son..?"
He was quiet for a moment, "...I remember one day... There was a particular batch of soldiers that were nicer than most... Um, they let us get away with a little more? Maybe they felt bad.." He held his hands together. "I remember wandering, and... then they started looking for me, and I got scared. I didn't wanna be hurt, so I found myself in this large room somehow... There was a lot of blue. I remember looking and seeing a woman in a giant cylinder... I now know that that woman was my mother, but at the time I had no idea who she was... But I remember my dad finding me in there. I have no idea why he would have been there anyways, but... He quietly took me back and nobody knew I was there..."

"Yes, Heihachi is a very intimidating man. I watched him destroy an axe by biting into it after a contestant threw her axe at him during the first King of Iron Fist Tournament. I was still an intern at the time... I didn't get hired until I completed my Doctorate's.". She smiled fondly.
"You know, I met Wulong during the second tournament. I never knew that I would end up marrying this sexist and immature Chinese Interpol agent 22 years later."
"...What did he say about... me...? Did he just see me as a project? Or... Did he actually view me like... Well, a son..?"
"He always saw you as his son... In a way. He was super insistent on being your father. He made me see Katya as a child. Instead of just a modified clone of myself or an experiment. He taught me a lot about empathy... I learned so much... Did you know that your father is the sole reason why I didn't drink myself to death or successfully killed myself years ago?"
"But I remember my dad finding me in there. I have no idea why he would have been there anyways, but... He quietly took me back and nobody knew I was there..."
"I never quite understood it myself until now. He really loved your mother. He really missed her. He never dated or hooked up. Which it's hard to date as a scientist... Which is why hooking up was easier. But anyway... He loved her a lot."
