Post by Lei Wulong on Sept 11, 2016 2:06:06 GMT -5
Lei waved bye to Carmina and wished her best of luck. He continues on, walking to the store, finding food for the girls. Just as he was walking by, he notices a silent figure moving toward Carmina's room. Lei spun on his heels and ran toward the figure. Just as he had thought, it was a ninja. Lei grabbed his helmet and tossed it at the figure. Lei, forgetting that it was someone actually climbing, didn't realize his mistake until the assailant went falling down to his/her doom. Lei immediately ran in and caught the poor assailant. After catching, Lei finds out that this is a curvy woman. He gently sets her down.
"Sorry about that." Lei grabs her wrist. "But I'm going to have to take you back with me. I need to ask you some questions, okay?"
The assassin grabs Lei's arm and kicks Lei's shin, causing him to fall to his knees. The brown-eyed masked woman attempts to pull Lei's arm out of his socket, before Lei managed to perform a sweep kick of his own. Lei quickly gets back to his feet as his assailant does the same, getting into her fighting stance.
"Also, I want to apologize in advance. I normally don't like to hit people... but I will... if it means protecting someone!"
Helena could see the intensity in Lei's eyes. His convictions. He was fully committed to this. This Carmina. He was willing to protect this woman with his own life, and she's a complete stranger. She found it so intriguing. She wanted to fight this man. She wanted him to show her his convictions with his fists. As much as she wanted to tell him that she wanted him to go on, she couldn't speak. She didn't want this man to discover her identity. Carmina can wait. This man was her prey now!
"Oh, not much of a talker? Alrighty then!"
She performs a jab aimed directly under Lei's ribs, he quickly avoids the attack, and gets kneed in the face. She jumps in the air, and knocks Lei over, and holds him in a submission hold. Lei breaks out of it by rolling over and being on top. He gets back up, waiting for his opponent to do the same. She fires a fast kick, Lei blocks it, and once again, he is hit in the face by another kick. Lei gets stunned for a second and quickly bends his back to avoid another kick. Lei is in the Drunken Master Stance. He staggers around, dodging a lot of attacks, finally, clumsily falling over and knocking Helena over.
Once more Lei waits for her to get back up. He runs to the pole, swinging on it, using the momentum to do somesort of spinning dropkick, which the Helena had managed to block. Lei kicks her in the chest, while still grounded, gets back up to send in several spinning hook punches, followed by an uppercut.
Helena had underestimated her opponent. He was good.
You and I are one and the same... but this time, I'm not going to pull any punches!
Helena recovers, drawing out a gun, pointing it directly at Lei. He quickly swings in a punch, as she locks Lei in a hold, this time, he didn't escape as she kneed him in the forehead. She then elbows him in the temple, and finishes him off with a roundhouse kick. Lei flung back down the street. Helena kept her gun pointed at him, firing a couple of rounds, as Lei dodges them. He manages to grab both of her wrists, the two fighting over the gun, and to any random bypasser, it would look like the two were tangoing. Finally, Lei gets the gun and unloads the clip and tosses the ammo into the storm drain.
"Oops... my fingers slipped!"
Helena wasn't mad. After all, the gun was just her way of luring Lei in for an attack. The two continued to fight, trading blows, throwing punches, blocking, and ending up in awkward positions. Eventually, Lei had Helena pinned to the wall, as he was ready to take off the mask. He comments about how pretty her eyes are before unveiling the woman. She steps on his toe, and tosses a smoke bomb and disappears. Lei coughs and once the smoke cleared, Helena was nowhere to be found. Lei knew that woman was going to be back.
"I hope this isn't the last time we meet." Lei whispered.
Helena had managed to escape Lei. She was currently hiding out near her car at a parking garage. She takes off the mask, revealing a brown-eyed olive-skinned Cypriot woman with beautiful curly brown hair. She gets in her car and contacts her boss. She tells him about Carmina's whereabouts. In the meantime, she can interrogate this man. She will make sure that this won't be the last time she sees him.
"China man, I shall one day meet you again." she watches Lei walk down the street.

She was so angry and confused, she didn't know what to do! Her comrades and companions took it upon themselves to give Marcella well needed rest, and gave her the day off. Not that it meant anything to her. Currently, Marcella sat in her CAR parallel parked in the downtown sector of Tokyo. She needed fresh air, even if the air was cold and bitter. Her eyes were swollen, and puffy. The grip marks on her neck from earlier this morning were still red, bruised and visible. Observing her surroundings, she was in the middle of a shopping plaza, maybe she could find something to do to take her mind off the situation from earlier. Getting out of her car, Marcella clicked the button on her keychain to lock the car and sound the alarm in case of an emergency. Placing the keys in the pocket of her thick, hooded jacket, she wrapped a scarf around her face, for warmth as she began to walk down the street to the nearest store..

Anna was highly irritated. She needed a Starbucks. Getting out of her red corvette, she slammed the door. She donned a flowing blue dress, and a black trenchcoat. There was a slit on the left side that showed black suede boots that came up to her mid thigh. Her hair was pulled back in a french bun and bangs swept to the side. She stomped through the shopping center getting on a mission to get her skinny latte. She passed some teary eyed girl to get into the coffee shop.
She walked up to the desk, "Skinny Latte please." She said frankly. She waited rather impatiently before giving the man her card and giving him a little smile. Afterpayment he gave her her card, He then handed her the beverage. "Thanks handsome."
Anna left the shop sipping her latte, passing the teary eyes girl again.

The person who walked past her so fast, it was almost like a blur. She noticed that the woman walked into a coffee shop, Marcella thought about it but she wasn't in the mood for coffee. As quickly as the woman walked in the store, she came marching back out but this time in particular, Marcella caught a glimpse of her facial features and knew exactly who she was. "Anna Williams..?" Marcella questioned as the woman walked past her, judging by how she flaunted herself it was definitely Anna. "Huh. It is you Anna, it's been a few years." Marcella and Anna have brief history together, throughout her missions with Mishima Zaibatsu, Marcella crossed on G-Corporation territory and they shared a few blows together. But the past is there for a reason right?

Anna heard her name called, and she turned to see Marcella. "Well, well... If it isn't my sister's former employee..." She smirked, "Can't help but wonder if she wasn't up to the task..?" Anna laughed, and tilted her head. She took another sip, and analyzed the woman standing before her. "My god, you look terrible." Anna was never one to sugar coat her opinion.
"Not that It's any of my business, but what happened..? If nothing else I thought you atleast knew how to pull a look together." She said. Anna was not aware that Marcella was the one Chris went on a date with, and subsequently was assaulted by her mother.
"Did the Zaibatsu get a loss..? Military matters are indeed stressful but you need to learn to put on a good face!" She laughed.
She sipped her coffee, and awaited an answer. Hopefully it would be sassy..! Anna did love a good sass-off.

Marcella knew that Anna was a caring individual but she just had a different way of showing it. When Anna noticed the state of her physical condition, Marcella looked down for a split second collecting her thoughts. She didn't think that the injuries were that visible to the naked eye. Looking back at Anna, Marcella tried to build a cover-up. But who was she kidding? No one could cover up the fact she was assaulted by Anna's mother. "In order for me to explain, I would like to go inside, where it's warm." Marcella turned around and guided Anna back into the coffee shop, she ordered herself a hot latte and a danish and sat down at a table nearest from the window. Once Anna joined her, Marcella explained to Anna everything that happened, from the date with her brother Chris, all leading up to the event that transpired this morning. After her story, Marcella's cup of coffee was now empty, and her hands trailed over her bruised neck, "...And from there, that's when your mother grabbed my neck, and explains where the bruising came from, and why I look a terrible mess."

"Well, My apartment has been hijacked, so I suppose we can have a girl on girl chat..!" She smirked, and sat down. She listened to Marcella about the date with her brother, and how it went horribly wrong when her mother showed up. Anna only raised her eyebrows. She actually felt sorry for her.
"So... Let me guess..." She set her coffee on the table, and crossed her fingers. "My brother tried to warn you that he was going to scare you away... And then... you didn't listen because he's so handsome and oh so sweet!" Anna sighed, "And then my mother tracked him down, which by the way she keeps tabs on all of her employees which is why I never worked for her, and showed up at your house causing him to pull a gun on you for pulling a gun on our mother."
Anna laughed a little, mostly out of pit. "I want my brother to be happy, I really do..." She paused, "But as long as our mother is still alive, that will never happen. Nina won't even defy her. But then again we were smart enough to keep our distance..."
She sighed, "If it helps his case, he really is a good man. And some sisterly advice... Do it anyways... Contact him. I mean the worst that would happen is you die..." She laughed. "Kidding!"
She eyed Marcella. "In all seriousness, what did you expect to happen going on a date with a member of this family? We can't truly love anybody, trust me... I know..." Anna looked out of the window, thinking of the little boy she gave up... She often wondered what ever happened to him.

When she mentioned about contacting Chris, Marcella scoffed. Like she would do that? After today, she wouldn't give Chris the slightest of chances. But as she thought about it more, the more she wanted to give Chris another chance. Though, it'll take time in order for her to forgive him. Stirring her coffee around with her spoon, she gave it some thought. "I'll give Chris another chance, Anna. I'll contact him once I get home later on." Her voice was still laced with hurt and confusion but she was willing to get through it.

"Also, I'm sure he wouldn't have actually shot you...!" Anna paused, "Unless our mother ordered him to, which..." Anna gave an awkward expression. "If you think he's something to pursue..." Anna smiled, "We could always kill my mother." Anna laughed, and sipped her coffee. "Who knew I'd actually have a nice time with a Zaibatsu soldier. Well, not since that fight with Tougou Shiga." Anna snickered.
"But seriously.. He's always been a strange assassin, he always felt a little bad about killing people... Which is normal I guess, but..." Anna shrugged. "Oh Well..!!" Anna sighed, "Maybe you could... help me.." She looked into Marcella's eyes. "I don't trust my mother. I don't know why she's here... I tried to get a spy, but she was about as useful as dead pig in the middle of the desert."
Anna crossed her legs, "If you help me figure out why she's here... We'd both win."

He was just a man protecting his mother, right? Anna mentioned about Marcella helping her to figure out her mother's intentions of being here. As Anna looked into her eyes, Marcella did the same, yet in a stern matter. "You should know the game by now Anna, I'm a solider, not someone's lackey." She took a sip of her coffee before continuing, "Besides, at this rate, my finger may slip on the trigger, and when I shoot, I don't miss."

Anna could only laugh. She was a little more like her mother than she would like to say. "Oh, but Marcella... If that trigger were to slip..." Anna shrugged, "Chris would be lost... confused as to what to do with his life... All he'd need is you to sweep in and guide his way." Anna smiled. "She's lived long enough. The fact that she's still alive surprises me, but you know what they say... Evil never truly dies." Anna snickered, and finished off her coffee.
"You wouldn't be a lackey, more..." Anna squinted a bit, "Ally is the better phrase." She set the empty cup aside, "I can tell you want to be with Chris. If you truly want it, you'd remove any obstacle in your way."
She sat back. "Think about it, Marcella. He would be all yours. Nothing would stand in the way of you two being together. Nina could care less, and as long as you make him happy I'll be happy."

Is it harsh? Maybe. But that woman is a walking skeleton, what better way to seek an opportunity. "Okay Anna." Marcella agreed with little hesitation, "I'll play your little game. Besides, the Mishima Zaibatsu has been wanting your mother for quite some time now. Something about their past stirred up some bad blood. So I guess it'll give me the better benefit if she's gone anyway." Marcella finished off her coffee, "Just let me get in contact with Chris and afterwards, we can start plotting." She flashed a smile at Anna, "This could be the beginning of a wonderful friendship, Anna Williams."

Anna's eyes shined in complete interest when Marcella told her that MZ wanted her mother either killed or captured. Anna was actually impressed that her mother managed to get on the Mishima's bad side. Although she was even more curious as to why... Anna reached in her purse and got her phone. "I'll send you the contact info of my little desert pig. Hopefully she's done better since last we spoke. Let me see what she's discovered so far.." Anna sent a text to Xiaoyu to update on her progress.
Anna then set her phone down, and looked at Marcella, "Chris would know a little about what she's doing here... I can't ask him, but..." She then grinned, "You could always ask..." She then giggled devilishly.
She tilted her head, "Y'know... I'm impressed with him for the most part. Hopefully you enjoyed the restaurant I suggested."

Helena went home and checked on her sleeping son. He was doing just fine. Helena was making sure Micah was fine before performing her next plan. She then got out her laptop and began doing research on Lei Wulong. According to the reports, Lei was a regular KOIF participant. He was also a former Interpol agent. It would explain why he knew how to hide Carmina. Indeed this man can definately help Sorin find his mother. Helena then got up, and left her apartment. Lei was here in Tokyo. He was staying in one of the hotels around town.
Helena managed to find a hotel, where she suspected Lei would be located at. She enters the lobby and asks the receptionist for Lei Wulong, and the woman kindly pointed in the right direction. The Cypriot woman waited in the elevator, and stepped out as soon as she made her stop. Finally, she knocked on the door, hoping it was Lei's room.
Lei had been with his niece, helping her braid her hair for the night. They were both at the bedside, as Lei braided Xianlong's hair into a large braid.
"Back in my day, I used to braid my long mane." He smiled. "I used to braid your father's hair, too."
Once Lei heard the knock, he told the guest to give him a moment before finishing Xianlong's braid. "It must be your good ol' pal Uncle Steve!"
He then gets up and answers the door, surprised to see Helena.
"Why hello Mademoiselle, but I do believe you have the wrong room. If you need me to, I can kindly direc_"
"You are Detective Lei, aren't you?"
Lei's eyes narrowed as he frowned. "No. You have the wrong room." He closes the door, but Helena catches it with her foot.
"I do not have the wrong room. You are incorrect. You are Detective Lei. I am searching for you."
"Whadaya' want?"
"I am in need of your assistance, Detective. Seeing that you no longer operate under Interpol, I would like you to maybe... help me out... In return... I can help you out as well."
"Go on, I'm listening..."
Xianlong was listening to the whole thing. Her uncle was a cop?
"Now, listen, I have a client here who would like you to help him find his parents..."
Lei rolled his eyes and sighed. "Do I look like a Private Eye to you? Why would I even_"
"Heihachi Mishima. I know everything about him and what he is plotting. But I will only tell... if you do me this favor."
"How would you know?"
"I have my ways..." She smiles. "Let me just say this... he used to be my boss. Used to be."
"Okay. So um... why can't you help this guy out?"
"Because I need more than one brain to help. Besides, I have heard stories about you. I would like to see if there is any merit to those stories."
"Stories?"
"Yeah, like... you have beautiful, long, ebony locks, a handsome smile, and those piercing brown eyes. On top of that, you are extremely intelligent."
"Well, you're a bit easy on the eyes, yourself, too." Lei smiled. "I normally do not go in and investigate people... but for you, I will make the exception. Just tell me what I need to do, and tell me about Heihachi."
"Of course." She hands Lei the napkin that Sorin handed her. "That is the number that belongs to my client. You can arrange the meeting and place. In the meantime, if you wish to report back to me, meet me at the Hinotori bar. I shall be waiting."
"So, it's a date then. Hm?"
Helena nodded. "Of course. It is indeed a date. As promised, I will supply you with all that you need on what Heihachi's biggest master plan is."
"I guess I'll be seeing you soon, then?"
"Of course you will."
Helena walks away, and Lei watches her leave, he couldn't help but gravitate toward her ass. He quickly adverted his eyes.
Those brown eyes of hers... they look familiar... Is she?
Lei returned back into his room and looked at Xianlong. "I know, you heard everything. But I will explain it all to you. I trust you. You won't do anything reckless with this information that I am about to give you."
Helena left the hotel and quickly called her boss. "Hello sir? No, I do not, but I do have the man in question. I will personally deal with him. No need to do anything drastic. Leave it all up to me."

Guy had finished everything he needed to at G Corporation for his first day tomorrow, he was prepared, but at the same time he wondered about Sorin. The soldier's past and the fact that he was connected to Anna Williams was beyond shocking to the assassin. He wondered if he did the right thing by keeping her true identity from Sorin, and the person who sent him that letter, who was behind this action. Guy didn't know more of the situation than he could've possibly got him involved in, but he his in Japan for a reason, and he intends to not fiddle with other people's problems.
Guy was almost at his apartment but he heard sudden footsteps from nearby an alleyway. Guy ignored it and went on ahead but then his ears heard the sound of a sniper shot. Guy's precision acted quickly and avoided the shot just to take two guns out with both hands and spotted the sniper. He didn't recognize him, but the sniper attempted to shot again and Guy kill the shooter, just to be surrounded by a group of assassins with snake symbols on their shirts.
"We finally found you, traitor!" One of them said.
Guy still held his guns without saying a word and the assassin continued. "The silent type huh, as expected for a man with guilt, FINISH HIM OFF!"
With that the assassins charged towards Guy only for him to have the upper hand against most of them using his advanced military martial arts. Guy laughed as he enjoyed this, breaking a couple arms and legs from parrying attacks from the others, and even killed them. This was the life of an assassin, and as much Sorin shed some light onto him, the darkness still lingers within Guy. Eventually everyone was taken down but the commander who fear Guy as if he was looking at the devil, but the a needle flew in from above and struck him, causing him to pass out. The mysterious person approached the fallen Guy, a tall older man wearing a suit and he smirked with glee, it was Alexei Bolotnikov.
"C-Commander?" The scared assassin said as his leader pulled out his gun and immediately shot the assassin for cowardice.
"There's no room for cowards...take our target to the car, were going back to the outskirts." Alexei commanded as more assassins approached and dragged Guy into the alleyway. They each got in the car with a captured Guy and drove off into the outskirts.
From above, a ninja observed the whole battle. "Kidnapping my future love r, that just won't do at all."
