"Miss Rochefort lost a potentially lethal amount of blood, but she made it, miraculously. Just give her some time to rest to guarantee a smooth recovery." The doctor's monotone voice addressed the half-Mishima and the android, who served as the spokespeople for the group of nine. "You all may go inside to see her if you wish."
"Thank you very much." Alisa bowed politely to the doctor while Lars nodded his head in thanks. With the doctor's permission, Asuka sped past everyone into the room, a bittersweet feeling resonating within her.
Eyes glued to her hospitalized rival, she involuntarily dragged a chair next to her bed. Everyone else filled in the blindingly white room, which had enough beds to cater to them (if they were in a critical condition) as well. While the group encircled around their teammate's form, Miguel placed a rose on the table nearby the sleeping blonde.
"What happened to the princesa?" The Hispanic asked his red-headed friend, Asuka furrowing her eyebrows at the question. "Someone tried to assassinate me, and Lili took a knife in the gut for me instead." She answered before Hwoarang could open his bruised lips.
"I can't help but feel at fault for this. We should've apprehended that Chloe girl when she was at the trial." Lars layed a sprained hand on the busty woman's shoulder, causing the Violet Systems owner to do the same. "We shouldn't have brought her up to the training room in the first place, either. We made the mistake of underestimating her, so we beg forgiveness from the both of you." Lee added, solemness in his voice, which contrasted his usual carefree persona.
"You all are missing the big picture." Jin announced as he made space for himself around the circle, his unforeseen sentence prompting eyes to be directed at him. He stared down at the comatose statelike Lili, a hint of anger in his eyes. "G Corporation made the first move."
Confused, Leo's face screwed up at this, the wound on her cheek on the border of reopening. "Why now? If we were in a war with them this entire time, then why did Kazuya keep a low profile for so long?"
"Maybe he has something up his sleeve?" The biker boy suggested, crossing his bandaged arms as he pondered the idea for a moment. "Whether he's planning something or not, he's dying either way." The son of Jun Kazama dismissed the Korean's thought, focusing on the Monegasque's slightly twitching fingers.
"Asuka." He called to his cousin, who was sitting in the chair he was towering over.
"Yeah?"
"We need to talk."
"About what?" Her tone was as bland as her facial expression.
"I'll tell you when we talk."
"Right now?"
"No, not now--"
"AHHHHHHHHH!" The Rochefort girl screamed in her sleep, thrashing wildly in the hospital bed. It happened so suddenly that everyone froze, a dreadful feeling in the pit of their stomachs. Asuka launched out of her seat, pressing her friend's arms to the mattress while a responsive Alisa restrained her legs. "Papa, don't go! Don't leave me, please!"
"Mierda! Where's that goddamn doctor?" Miguel yelled as he ran out of the room.
Tears flooding out of her tightly closed eyes, she bawled for her late father, which made the brunette and the rattled Hwoarang embrace the formerly impaled blonde. Lili's head was snuggled in Asuka's chest, where she cried until her wails were reduced to sniffles.
Hwoarang sighed in relief, seeing the Osakan rest the now relaxed blonde's head back on her pillow. "She's still traumatized about what happened at her mansion." He said, to which the woman muttered in agreement as she inspected the tear stains on her shirt.
Xiaoyu, who seemed to be on the brink of tears herself, was given a comforting rub on the back by the pink-haired cyborg. "Jin, what do we do now?" She asked, not receiving an answer as he was not in the same spot he was standing in a minute ago. "Jin?" His name hung in the air.
"Seems like he disappeared again." Lee told the pigtailed woman.

Lucky Chloe popped open a can of soda from the vending machine, relishing the fizzing sensation of the beverage over her tongue; just what she needed after a dreadfully long day. The ache from her casted arm was mediocre compared to the terrible headache she received from her boss, who lectured her for hours, then became sick of her and dismissed her for the day. "Typical old man." Her carbonated drink sliding down her esophagus, the pop star felt refreshed enough to continue her walk home.
She turned away from the bright LED lights of the snack-holding box, bumping into a brick wall...or was it someone's chest? The girl couldn't have even began to belittle the person who was in her way, for she was seized by her gullet and slammed into the machine head first. The sheer force of her attacker caused the lights to burst and flicker behind her, which obscured her view of the unidentified male.
Recovering from her initial shock, the G Corp employee sprung to life despite his grip on her neck. "Let go of me, you bastard!" She screamed profanities at him in the deserted streets. Kicking him in the torso and face repetitively, which did not show signs of affecting him, seemed to provoke the man.
In the darkness of the night, a pair of yellow eyes dug into her's, replacing her anger and frustration with fear. "What are you...?"
"Tell Kazuya to prepare for war." A demonic growl overlapped his normal tone of voice, confirming her belief that this assailant was not--completely--human. "Jin Kazama..?" She guessed, to which the said man proved her answer correct by compressing her breathing passageway, snarling his order at her once again. "Or maybe I should send your severed head to his mailbox. After all, you did your share of damage to one of my employees, didn't you, bitch?" A red hue closed in around his pupils, signifying his bloodlust.
"Unhand that girl, you spawn of the devil!" A figure commanded Jin as one of its swords sliced the flesh of his lower arm, the same arm that was pinning Lucky Chloe to the crushed vending machine. The Zaibatsu leader recoiled as the idol dropped to her knees, coughing up the saliva caught in her windpipe.
"I will not allow you to prey on innocent girls, you fiend! Prepare for battle," declared.....Yoshimitsu?
Get ready for the next battle!
