Eric held Ely close to his frame as he continued to cry on his shirt once more, he ran his fingers through her hair in an attempt to comfort her..
He didn't know what to think or say to her as nothing could bring back her father or Aunt..

Elysium fell into his embrace. "I hope i'm not interrupting..." Elysium heard Sorin's voice. "...Although it is my lab, but... whatever..." He smiled, walking towards Ely and Eric. He placed a hand on her shoulder. "It's good to see you back..." Elysium looked at her cousin in confusion, "...Back...?"
"...You might wanna sit down..." Sorin said to her, as he sat next to her. He explained to her everything he knew about Project NT-03, and that she had harbored the devil gene in her body. The defeated look in her face cemented, as she realized she not only had no control over her own life, she didn't even have control over her own body.
"But, You are fine... We are gonna run some tests on you to make sure it worked. Once we have proof, we can cure Daniel, Steve, and the other few afflicted with this gene..." He smiled at Elysium, "You gave us the answer we were looking for... So thankyou..." He looked at them both, "I'd suggest you both go to the infirmary, get checked out, all that jazz... That was one crazy battle with Facade..." He pursed his lips, "...I'm gonna kill her.."
"What did she do to you...?" Elysium asked. Sorin pointed at his lip, "She punched me in the face, Ely! It's gonna leave a scar!" Elysium stared at Sorin, blankly. A smile then began to creep up on her, and she busted out in laughter.

Jin had made his way into the labs, expecting to hear some progress on the Devil Gene Cure. He makes his way into the laboratory without even knocking as he entered the room. He would have knocked, but it was best to just walk in and ask for progress. If Kazuya succeeded in absorbing Katya's powers, then at least they have a cure that will stop Kazuya in his tracks.
"So." Jin said. "Any progress on the Devil Gene cure? And where is Dr. Kristovitch? I'm expecting a detailed report from either one of you."

Sorin had taken Elysium's blood, and analyzed it. She no longer had any trace of the devil gene in her blood, though the nano bots were still present... When Jin walked in, Sorin hopped up smiling. "Well look who decided to come out of the office with a fresh clean face! Look at you, chief! Gotta say, wasn't feeling the emo moment... Just my opinion, y'know You could take charge every once in a while! Like, just get what you want outta life!" ... "SORIN!" Elysium finally interjected. Sorin looked at his cousin, "Rude." He looked back at Jin, "Anyways. We have!" He waved his hands at Elysium, "She's cured! Albeit... A small amount of Devil Gene was in her because she wasn't like... a real experiment, more like a super strong failsafe..?"
"Sorin!" Elysium again, interrupted. He stopped, pursing his lips. "The ingredient we were missing was love! I don't who could possibly love Kazuya, unless you have some severe daddy issues, but... It worked. I WAS gonna call Daniel here, but... apparently he decided to go save his girlfriend instead of following advice, so... I guess I'm just gonna have to find him myself so Kazuya doesn't suck his life force out too!"
Elysium rolled her eyes, "Sorin..." "Why do you keep saying my name like that!? He's getting information, is he not..? Anyways, I don't where Dr. Kristovich is. Last I saw, she went off with Lei."

Jin nods. "So it's love... That means... We need to find my mother then. She can save Kazuya..." He bowed his head solemnly. "I think I know where she is."
Jin wondered. What if this cure actually really works? Would he be able to live a normal life? Jin never once considered it a possibility until now. But he had to find his mother and figure things out.
"So, she's went to be with her husband? I suppose I'll bother her later. Good work Dr. O'Donoghue."

Sorin saluted Jin, "Anytime, Cheif." He winked. "Wait your mom is alive!? That's awesome! Yes, go find her, live your best life dude!" He looked at Elysium, "He's gonna be a okay." Elysium started laughing again, "You're ridiculous..." She gave him a tight hug. "Is there anywhere we go and sleep..?" She asked. Sorin handed her the keys to his apartment on base. "Don't break my shit." He smiled. "And don't have sex in my bed..!"
Elysium rolled her eyes, and took Eric with her to Sorin's apartment.
Sorin then turned to Jin, "Is there anything else I can do for you...?"

"Live my best life, huh?" Jin said. "What does that even mean?"
He shook his head. "Nevermind. I'd like to see a report on this new revelation. Did you or Dr. Kristovitch happen to write up a report on this?"

Sorin's bright smile instantly vanished when Jin asked for a report. "If by report, you mean hastily written notes..." He walked over, and picked up the barely legible stuff he wrote down and handed it to Jin. "...It's been hastily written, and... it's short, but... It's everything I know about this serum." He sighed. "It worked on her. If it works on Steve, Daniel, and Katya... It should work on Kazuya, as well..."
Sorin walked up to Jin, cocking his hip to the side. "And living your best life means doing what makes you happy, and not giving a shit what other people think about it..." He patted Jin's shoulder, smiling. He got close to Jin's face, "And you, Jin Kazama, deserve to be happy..." He pulled back, "Might not mean anything coming from me, but... I really believe that.."
Sorin's eyes diverted, when Claudio walked in. "Claudio!" Sorin exclaimed. Claudio raised a brow, "Jin..." Claudio walked to the Commanding officer of the Zaibatsu, "I came to make sure Sorin here was alright, but... it would appear fate has placed our paths together once more...." He said. "It has come to my attention that Anton Weiss is serving under Kazuya." He frowned. "I will deal with the devil worshiper, taking him out will ease your path to Kazuya." He stated.

Jin picked up the notes and listened as Sorin explained the procedure. "...It's been hastily written, and... it's short, but... It's everything I know about this serum." He sighed. "It worked on her. If it works on Steve, Daniel, and Katya... It should work on Kazuya, as well..."
"Then it should work on me..." Jin said.
He never considered what would happen if he were to survive and erase the Devil Gene.
"And living your best life means doing what makes you happy, and not giving a shit what other people think about it... And you, Jin Kazama, deserve to be happy... Might not mean anything coming from me, but... I really believe that.."
Jin delicately moved Sorin's hand to the side and backed away from him. He was violating his personal space.
"Hmph. We'll see then."
Perhaps he can go pay Xiao a visit. However, his thoughts were interrupted by Elise and Lei barging in through the door.
"Chairman Kazama! It's Katya! She's in danger!"
"Huh?"
"YOU NEED TO DO SOMETHING, NOW!" Elise begged.
"My men are on it."
Elise then handed Jin her report as the three followed him back to his office where he pulled up video surveillance of the rooftop of the Millennium Tower. There, he could see Anna in handcuffs, restrained by Anton. There Katya was on her knees with a bag over her head.
"Noo... This can't be happening! ANNA PULL YOURSELF TOGETHER! SAVE HER! SAVE HER NOW!"
Elise was screaming at the screen.
Jin put in his earpiece. "Everyone, hurry! Katya is on the roof!"
Lei held Elise back, trying to keep her from doing anything painful. He fell down with her as Elise immediately went to her knees and cried. Lei tried comforting her and telling her everything was going to be okay, while keeping an eye on the screen.
Lei has never seen Elise cry before. Well, at least when she was sober. She always had such a calm head, but now, she's about to snap.
Lei held onto her tightly.
Jin watched the couple and all he thought about was what Xiao was feeling right now. Someone has to comfort her when he dies... Jin thought... He should at least go talk to her and explain that he plans on dying.
But if this cure actually works...?
Jin rubbed his temples as he couldn't decide what to do. It was imperative that they find his mother.

Claudio frowned at the surveillance. He couldn't allow Kazuya to win... "I'm going to take down Anton, now..." Claudio said, leaving the Labs. Sorin quickly gripped two syringes off of the table. He handed one to Jin. "When you have him down, inject this into his body... It will eradicate the Devil Gene, assuming you can find you mother... Good Luck, Chief." He said, and then ran after Claudio. "Sorin, You're not coming..." Claudio ordered. Sorin scoffed, as they walked down the halls. "Oh yes I am!" He said. Claudio turned, gripping Sorin by the shoulders, shocking the young scientist. "...NO!" Claudio yelled, "I can't afford anything happening to you...." Sorin pursed his lips. "I'm fine. I am not going to sit here while Kazuya finds my brother and does what he's about to do to Katya, to him! You don't own me, Claudio... I'm going whether you want me to or not!"
Sorin clasped his hands on Claudio's face, "We survived the Espelhar... We will survive this." He kissed Claudio, and then marched onward...

Jin pocketed the syringe and nods. He gives Sorin a quick smile before walking away, searching for his mother.
Lei looked over at Claudio who said he was going after Anton. "Do me a favor. Make sure you punch that S.O.B. in the face and say it was from me. And then! Do another one and say it was from Elise! Then do two more and say it was from the twins! Make sure you break his nose, too!" Lei cooed.

Claudio looked at Lei, "Anton will be brought to justice, Wulong... Don't worry... Stay with Elise, she needs you here..." He said, before taking his leave.

Lei nods, still holding onto Elise. He should be out there, joining the fight and saving Katya.
Elise stopped crying. Lei was just about to get up and leave, but Elise stopped him.
"Please. Stay. With me."
Lei couldn't ignore Elise's pleas. He stopped what he was doing and turned around. He pulls Elise in his arms and sets her down in one of the sofas in Jin's office. They held each other in a tight embrace.
Lei then understood that it was honestly more important to stay with Elise. After all, should they fail, Elise needs a shoulder to cry on. And Lei can't be there if Kazuya kills him in the onslaught.
"I'm not going anywhere. I'll stay... Here with you..."
Elise looked up. "Thank you."

Kazuya laughed maniacally as he flew at the Mishima Zaibatsu. He took notice that this was where the laboratory was.
"Anna could have been lying, but it doesn't matter now!"
Kazuya then floated up, as all of his eyes together formed one powerful, large beam that easily disintegrated the building.
"This is payback for destroying my building! Time to return the favor, dear son!" Kazuya laughed.
Elise and Lei both arrived at the lab together as Elise entered a vault. In there, she searched for some frozen tissue samples.
"Wulong, please hand me a cooler."
Lei nods as he grabs a cooler and watched as Elise put some vial inside the cooler. Lei noticed that there were more vials and petri dishes.
"Those were potentially Katya." Elise admitted. "I kept those here in case something were to happen, or if SN-95 didn't survive."
"So, those things... are your clones?"
Elise nods. "But that's all behind me now... I'm going to destroy everything once I'm through here."
However, before the couple could do anything, the ground suddenly started to shake. Suddenly, everything fell apart, as glass flew everywhere, and the ceiling started caving in. Lei quickly shoved Elise under a table as Lei then made a shield over the table, hoping to protect Elise from the rubble.
"Honey, I love you..." Lei said.
"WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?"
Lei smiled at Elise. "I'm sorry... Forgive me..."
"NOOO! YOU ARE NOT GOING TO SACRIFICE YOURSELF! WHAT ABOUT THE TWINS!"
"You're going to be one hell of a mother, Elise..."
"YOU'RE NOT GOING TO DIE!" Elise screamed.
However, as the building collapsed, Elise held her hand out, as Lei noticed that the rubble that was going to fall on him, shatters before touching him. Lei looks on in confusion as the concrete began to pile up before eventually it became very dark. Lei took out his phone to use as a flashlight and crawled under the table as Elise was losing consciousness. Lei held her in his arms as the woman smiled.
"Thanks for protecting me... now it's my turn to return the favor..." At that instant, Elise fell unconscious.
"ELISE! Hang on! I'm going to get help!" Lei tried digging up, but it was no use. He did as much as he could, and with a rush of adrenaline, he punched through the ceiling of the rubble, and climbed out, trying to carry Elise. He took a look at the destruction, and as he squinted his eyes, he saw Devil Kazuya.
However, the Devil would soon fly away, and continue to decimate more of the Mishima Zaibatsu buildings.
