Chapter 3 - Chapter 3 [Justice]

??? ???PM

"So you're finally awake?" Kazama opens his eyes to an unfamiliar setting, the room is small, damp, dark, besides a lonely lamp on a stool next to him. Speaking of himself his left eye burned intensely, he was strapped to a chair naked with lacerations all over him. He sees two men sitting in front of him, one is cool, edgy, while the other looks like a high school jock, who is holding a whip. Kazama correctly identifies that the voice came from the high school jock.

Whenever Kazama went to speak he noted the gag in his mouth so he could only produce muffled whimpers, as the jock laughed. He stands up and punches Kazama in the gut, he lets out a muffled scream, and the man removes the gag from his mouth. "Who are you people!?" Kazama instantaneously blurts out.

"Well, you're our prisoner, I'm Jack, C.I.A. This is my buddy Liam" He says as he points to the cool edgy guy. "What's C.I.A. got to do with capturing me!?" Kazama asks, "Well because that little stunt you pulled killed over a hundred kay' peeps." A wave of confusion rushed over Kazama, every fiber of his body was sure that he didn't do that, hell he's barely killed even 15 people, so why's he claiming he got 100,000 people killed? Kazama had too many questions, and he suspected he wasn't getting any answers.

"Hey so my buddy Liam would like to do something funny… Will you let him?" Jack asks, "Sure… what is it? a joke?" Kazama asks, Liam stands up and left hooks Kazama in the face, then a swift uppercut, followed by a kick to his, still exposed, balls. Kazama loses consciousness.

He wakes up, his whole face bloody, his whole body aches. Jack and Liam still sit, "Yo, I bet you want free. Right?" Jack asks, "YES! ANYTHING!" Kazama lets out prematurely, unaware of his request. "Well I have a small little favor to ask for you to get free." Jack says, "Yes. Anything." Kazama says with resolve. Jack stands up and walks over and places his mouth next to Kazama's ear "Well then… I have a little Job for you…" he whispers. "What is it?" Kazama asks.

Jack swiftly stands up and presses a button on the wall, suddenly a projector activates and portrays a video onto the wall. On the video it showed a man drinking his morning coffee, the man looked inconspicuous. "This man is the Chairman of the Kurokawa-Kai." That name rang a bell in Kazama; he had heard of the Kurokawa-Kai before. It was the most powerful clan of Yakuza 13 years ago, until it lost a war to the Shirogane-Ryu Clan, the Shirogane-Ryu Clan is currently the most powerful, and holds the Teika Family and the Fukoshi Family.

"We want you to assassinate this man." Jack then pronounces, Kazama jumps out of his trance thinking about the Yakuza clan. "Why would you want this guy assassinated?" He timidly asks. "The Kurokawa-Kai have been a pain in the backside of the Japanese government for the last 113 years, since its founding, and who else would get rid of it? Of course the CIA will get credit for it, but we want you to do it."

"Wouldn't it be dangerous?" "This man here, Renji Arakawa, is very proficient in the art of heat, he is the first chairman of that clan to hold the seat for more than 20 years. We have intel that he has grown the clan's military might, and will launch a full-scale war in a couple of months, which could severely destroy Japanese infrastructure." Jack informs, his back arched over the chair. Kazama, sweat dripping down his face, asks another question "How proficient is he?" "Nowhere near as good as you, that's for sure." "See, I don't really remember killing 100,000 people, and I don't remember how i got access to this 'heat'" Jack rubs his forehead, looking puzzled, eventually he just snaps his head at Kazama and says "You'll get the hang of it!" "Well, here's my final question.." Kazama shifts in his seat "What's in it for me?" "Your freedom".

Kazama processes this information, on one hand it's very dangerous as this man is supposedly sufficient in 'heat' which Kazama assumes is just something that makes the user stronger or something, and the Kurokawa-Kai could hunt him down for his head. On the other hand, he could win his freedom, which would mean these jackasses wouldn't beat him up every couple of seconds, and he could look for Tooru and Hana (He forgot about their deaths). After this while of pondering, he concludes that since he somehow killed 100,000 people, he most certainly can't return to his old job, and maybe he can join the Yakuza and learn more about this 'heat'. While he is thinking about heat he realizes that maybe the techniques that he uses where he can cut multiple people at once are done by using heat, if so, how the hell did he kill so many people with heat? His head was swirling with questions, he wouldn't dare ask Liam and Jack, they'd probably castrate him for fun. It also isn't very sanitary here, filled with blood and other bodily fluids.

"Give me my clothes." Kazama demands, he instantly realizes he made a mistake, and the two men walk up to him. "WE MAKE THE DEMANDS AROUND HERE!" Jack shouts as they start pummeling him with punches and kicks. "AH!" Kazama screams, after about what felt like 3 hours, but was in reality 15 minutes they stop. "You learned your lesson?" "Ugh, fuck you." Jack kicked him in the face, this time it felt way more powerful, Kazama lost a tooth, his nose broke, and his eardrums burst. After Kazama woke up, it felt like days had passed. "That was a kick infused with heat, we might actually have to train your durability."ugh, I think that's a good idea…" Kazama trails out as more blood falls out his mouth and he dozes back to sleep. Jack slapped Kazama across the face "WAKE THE FUCK UP!" He then kneed Kazama in the nose, making it bleed even more. "Ugh! FUCK! You're gonna kill me!" Kazama stares Jack in the eyes "take the binds off me and I could mop you in a fight!", "Oh! You think so, punk!?" "YEAH!" "Next week, in the ring here. I'll untie you, no escaping, you only stay inside this compound." He cut off Kazama's binds holding him.

Kazama, using this opportunity, socks a right jab at Jack's face. Jack, like a wild Hyena, pounced on Kazama, grabbing his throat with as much pressure as possible. Kazama tried to fight him off, but he was so weak it was like attacking mount everest with a stick. Kazama could slowly feel his airways closing, like they were flooding with water, all of a sudden, every part of him above Jack's hands, broke out in searing pain. Kazama had never felt anything like it. He could feel the pressure put on his spine, he could feel it contorting to his bear like paws. His face went red, he lost control of his lower half, unable to move, his eyes rolled into the back of his head, this is when the fear truly set in, his whole body went numb 'am I really gonna die here?' was the only question shooting through his head, he could feel his brain shutting down, until everything went black…

Suddenly he could breathe again, all the pain dissipated, he regained control of his body, as he looked at the wall, Jack was lodged in it. He looked at Liam for answers, but he looked in shock towards the doorway, Kazama's eyes followed, standing in the doorway was a woman. She was wearing a suit, you could tell it was too small, she probably picked it on purpose for that, her cleavage was showing so much you would wonder if she even wore a bra. Her face is slim, her glasses adorned, her right eye red, her left blue. Her dashing white hair down to her shoulders. She also has a snake earring on her right ear. As you look past the cleavage, you see how the suit perfectly encapsulates her slim waist, Kazama thought it was the slimmest waist he had ever seen, you move on further down and you can see her belly button. You follow even further down, you see her skirt which fits her so small, that it barely covers her privates, and you can even see her buttock fall out the back. They are so small you see a small puff of white pubic hair poking over the top, making you wonder if she wears panties either. You continue past and you see her thick thighs and go down to her red high heels. Her right arm is pointing at Jack, and her left holding a file. After standing there for a solid 15 seconds she finally announces "Sir Jack! What are you doing to the newbie!?".

Liam gets on the floor and bows down to her, "I heard what you two were talking about, I'll train the boy!".

Boxing Ring 7:12 AM January 23rd 1983 (one day after the date for the fight was set)

Kazama sits on the side of the boxing ring, "Why are we starting so early?" he asks, "gets the blood flowing" the woman, whose name he learned, Georgia, said. "Are you not going to change out of those office clothes?" "Trust me boy, I can beat you easily in these." Kazama was shirtless with some shorts, "do you have no muscle on ya' boy?" "Well I was a college professor, so I never really worked out" "what ya' teach?" "Math" "pfft nerd…" She traces the side of the ring with her finger, before snappily saying, "134x567" "75978" "Wow…" she grabs a calculator and types in the numbers… It's right "Wow, fighting ain't really your gig huh" "No, but I've realized I'm kinda forced to now." "What's the square root of 98?" "9.9" "It says on the calculator 9.89949 blah blah blah." "Yeah i rounded it to one decimal place" "alright last question before we scrap, this'll be an extra toughy… if a rectangle's base is x7+9 and the height is y9*2 What is the longest line you can draw on the rectangle?" Kazama ponders for a second, before splurging out "14x²+18y²+72 of course you could simplify that further but, this is also completely fine." "wow…" she just stared into his eyes for about 15 seconds. Kazama noticed how her red eye looks starry, but her blue eye is dark.

"Well anyways. Are you ready?" "yeah" "good" Georgia leaped at Kazama unprepared, Kazama thought she would count down but this is how it is. He instinctively moved to block the left of his head. She kicked his left side, he recoiled from the pain, she jumped on her hands, her leg still in his side, her other leg was headed to kick the right side of his head. He could see up her skirt, she doesn't wear panties. He was hit like a ton, he was stunned. She jumped off the ground with her hands, smothering his face with her crotch. "Woah!" he exclaims. He smells an awful lot of sweat, but also a small part of pussy juice, he tries to stick out his tongue to lick it, but she jumps off and jumps back with her hands and kicks him in the face. "That is my fighting style, men can't beat it."

"Well, then what is the point of me training with you?" Kazama asks, "You learn to control yourself, and get stronger. Jack will try to get you mad, don't listen, control your feelings, that is the point of my training." She responds, entering her fighting stance. "I think I get it." Kazama remarks. Kazama goes in for a right hook to the face, "predictable" She says as she does the splits to dodge the attack. She uses her legs to sweep him onto the ground. He hits his head on the floor. "OW!" He gets back up, he throws a series of punches and kicks but she dodges all of them. She responds with a simple punch to the gut, Kazama had her right where he wanted her. "RAAAAAH!" He used his full force to try and hit a punch, she looks calm, until it ignites in a blue aura. She flicks her head to the side, and looks, the wall is now rubble. "I'm going to use 5% of my power now that you know how to properly wield your heat signature." she says "Heat signature?" "Yeah, if you're better at using heat with swords, fists, bows. I know you used swords before, and were only able to take out around 12 guys at once, right? Well a beginner with said heat signature, could take out 50-75 guys at once." "50-75!? Isn't that a bit overpowered!?" "Well that's why the public don't even know about its existence."

"Also, I wouldn't say I know how to use it now…" Kazama says, putting his fists up again, "Ah, you'll get it." Kazama tries to throw a punch with heat, but it doesn't work, Georgina redirects the punch. She lands a punch so ferocious to his gut, that it cracks the ground. Kazama coughs up blood, he is about to fall over but he gets back up, "fuck… This is only 5%? Just how strong are you?" "...pretty strong, I'm 5th strongest in this facility, Jack is around about 50th." "Where would you place me right now?" "Around 145th, that makes you the weakest, and 144th could probably handle me at 20%" "What could Jack handle you at?" "60%". Kazama now regrets getting into a fight with this guy, he doesn't know how he could get that strong in just 6 days, it seems impossible.

Well, Kazama has no choice, he must get better.

5 Hours Later

Kazama is all bruised up but he doesn't give up, Gerogina hasn't been hit in the past 5 hours. "Hey, kid, wanna stop for today?" "Not until I get past 5%" "fine, I'll give you 15 minutes, but then I'm leaving, for your sake." Kazama goes in for a punch, he can't spawn heat again. She dodges it simply and goes to punch his gut again, probably for the 1000th time. He jumps over it, she is shocked 'he's never done that before!' she thought, but she was caught in her punch so she couldn't move. "DAWN…" Kazama calls out, his foot clearly covered in heat and primed for a kick, "...BREAKER!!!" Georgina was frightened seeing the kick coming in, she coated her back in heat to try and minimize the impact, but… Kazamas' foot connects with her back, she lets out a scream as her body is pressed into the floor of the ring, she can feel the ring shatter beneath her, and then eventually she hears Kazama utter "not enough." under his breath. "DAWN…" he rears his left foot to mimic the same attack, "WAIT!!!" Georgina screams, blood spewing from her mouth, she feels her ribs crack, "...BREAKER!!!" she feels her spine snap, and the crater form, but she loses consciousness. Kazama, unknowing that she is no-longer conscious puts more power into it "AHHH!" he screams, he completely decimates the building, no ring, no walls, no floor, no roof, it is all gone.

??? Hours Later

Georgina wakes up in bed. After the medic took care of her. Kazama sleeps beside her in another bed. She gets up, and puts on a bed gown to cover her naked body. She looks out the window and finds out it's night time. She leaves the med bay, she walks down the dark hallway, looking for the tea room to get some food. As she walks down, she hears heavy footsteps on the other end of the hallway. She then sees who it is, "Ah, hello Xavier." The man, who Georgina identifies as Xavier, is a tall man, about 8 '5, he wears black leather from head to toe, and has long flowing brown hair. "Well if it isn't sleeping beauty. And I mean beauty." "You know you'll never pick up women if you use pickup lines like that" Georgina comedically remarks, Xavier doesn't seem to take it too kindly. He pins her against the wall, "you sure?" "p-please get off me!" His grip intensifies, "why?" "PLEASE!" he doesn't let go. Georgina tries to kick him with her full power, heat and all. He just flinches a bit, "ooh, aren't you a feisty one." Georgina, realizing how futile her efforts are, starts crying. He clearly goes in for a kiss. When the door from the med bay slams open. They hear footsteps run down the hallway. Kazama jumps out of the darkness, throwing a punch at Xavier "Leave my mentor alone pal!" Xavier dodges it, he inspects Kazama, "Oops, sorry, didn't know she was your member" Xavier turns and walks away. Georgina breathes a sigh of relief, she hugs Kazama, "what's this about?" Kazama asks "Thank you!" "Hey, I have a girlfriend, you know, don't be trying anything." "You saved me." Georgina says hugging him harder, "You're doing it a bit hard now, can you stop." she does, she wipes away her tears.

"Who was that jerk anyway? You must still be injured, right? Cuz then you would'f, like, punched him to the other side of the planet." Kazama asks, he throws a fist out to emulate her 'punching him to the other side of the planet'. "No, Xavier is definitely the strongest here, the gap between me and him is insane, I'd be lucky if I could defeat him at 1.5% full power, while im at 100%" "what the fuck?" "Well, I thought you would'f known that since it seemed like you two knew each other" "nope, never met him in my life." "That's weird." "Well, how bout' we get some z's?" Kazama requests. 

Boxing Ring 2 9:02 AM January 24th 1983

They get prepared in the ring, Kazama realizes that Georgina is shirtless, only in shorts and her bra, for more mobility. "What happened to your fighting style?" Kazama asks, "You proved to me, through 5 hours of basically torture, that you can control your temptations, so, I'm going for as much mobility as possible, and 20%" She responds. "No, can I fight you at 5% again? I want to test a theory." He asks. "Fine." she squares up for a fight, she throws a right hook at his head, he easily dodges. He lands a non-heat infused kick to her face easily. "Ow! How'd you do that!?" she recoils "I dunno, I think I got stronger and faster after healing. Almost as if my body's adjusting to try and get as strong as possible in the time I have left." He says looking at his hands. "All right, are you ready for 20%?" "Yup!"

Kazama goes for a punch, full power, she dodges, she tries to sweep his legs, he jumps into the air "DAWN BREAKER!!!" he shouts out, but she easily dodges the attack, the ring cracks down the middle. She jumps into the air to meet him, "I'll let out a named attack myself. MACE DEKRE!!!" She forms her palm into a weird shape, her middle finger bent downwards, her ring and index finger pointing upwards, and her pinkie and thumb touching tips. She thrusts them forward, Kazama jerks his head back just in time to dodge, but a hole in the wall the exact shape of her hand forms. Kazama regains composure and goes for an uppercut on Georgina, She moves her head to the left just in time, she tries to kick Kazama's face, but he moves his head out of the way. He grabbed her leg, he had her where he wanted her. "DAWN CLEAVER!!!" He flings his leg, coated in heat, into her side. "AHHH!" she screams in pain, she is flung into the ground, she is dazed for a second. "DOUBLE DAWN BREAKER!!!" He does the Dawn Breaker attack, with both legs at the same time. It slams into Georginas stomach, she screams in pain, and coughs up blood. But Kazama is still… "MACE DEKRE!!!" Kazama is flung into the air, he is flung out of the roof, he bleeds immensely from his nose and mouth. He regains his composure, knowing this clash would end the fight, he'll use his strongest attack. Georgina prepares her strongest attack as well. Georgina jumps up, and Kazama darts down. "MACE…" "DAWN…"  they fly in, their attacks about to meet, "...BREAKER KICK!!!" "...SHATTERER!!!" their legs meet, their shins clashing, the ground cracking. Electricity flies out from the point of the contact. Kazama reaches into the depths of his strength to try and win. He gets the upper hand, Georgina reacts, finding more strength and evening it out. While they're fighting for dominance in the air, a lightning bolt flies out from the point of contact, hits a wall, and the wall crumbles. That causes the ceiling to start falling, they both instinctively stop the clash to get away from the ceiling falling.

The whole room collapses, "Who knows how long that would'f went on for." "Yeah, I'll just have to beat your ass the good ol' fashioned way." Kazama says cockily. Kazama starts stretching now he has a breather, "MACE DEKRE!"  Kazama tries to jump out of the way, but he still gets caught, he is flung through the pile of debris and into a newly made crater in the ground. He spits up more blood, his nose bleeds heavier. He turns around and looks up to see Georgina standing on top of him "MACE BREAKER KICK!" , her foot slams straight onto his face. She lifts it up, Kazama's face is completely covered in blood. "MACE BREAKER KICK!" She does it again, no response, she knocks out 4 teeth. She turns around, about to call for the medic, but then she hears "DAWN SHATTERER!!!"  He jumps up, and kicks her in the back of the head, it increases the crater from around 5m in diameter, to 120m. She somehow manages to stand up, "DAWN CLEAVER!" He kicks her full force in her torso, making her fall over, but before she can "DAWN CHOP!!!" He kicks the back of her head into the ground, he jumps into the air "DOUBLE DAWN BREAKER!" both of his feet slamming into her back, he picks her up "DAWN SHATTERER!!!"  but before she can fall "DAAAAAWWWNNNN!!!!!! IIIIIMMMMMPAAAAACCCTTTTTTT!!!!!!" He fills all of his heat left into one punch, he slams that fist into her face, she flies 100 km into the air. When she is falling down, Kazama jumps up "DOUBLE DAWN BREAKER!!!" He once again slams into her spine, she slams into the crater expanding it to 5km wide.

20% Georgina vs. Kazama:Winner:Kazama

??? Hours Later

Kazama wakes up in the med bay, he looks around, he sees Xavier leaned against the wall. "What do you want!?" Kazama screams running up to him, "your 'fight' against Jack will be a 2v1, him and Liam will be fighting you" Xavier says, lighting up a cigarette. "So? I can still mop the floor with them." He says while shadow boxing the air. "No, Liam is actually the second strongest here, besides me. Thing is, I know you can beat him." Xavier says while blowing smoke on Kazama's face, waving the smoke away, Kazama asks "I saw Liam bowing down to Georgina the other day." "Thing is, he's such a pervert, he literally worships women, especially strong women. I've tried to punch it out of him multiple times, but it didn't work." "wait… So what the fuck am I meant to do!?" Kazama says, looking worried. "After your training hours with Georgina, come train with me." "why!? You were such a douche yesterday, why do you care about me so much?" "No one else deserves love, admiration, respect, etc." "And I do!?" Kazama questions him thoroughly trying to get to the bottom of things. "You see, Kazama-san, we're different…" "How so?" "Kazama-kun, stop with the questions… outside ""wh-" Before Kazama could detest, it was almost like he was teleported. "How did yo-" "You are so utterly slow, could you not even comprehend that I grabbed you and slowly walked outside!?" Xavier just looked annoyed, "See Kazama we're different, this will be the best training, I won't be shocked if you can beat Georgina tomorrow with this training." Xavier informs, "Well, then I can beat this Liam guy easily." "Well, Liam is like us." "What is so special about us!?"...

Boxing Ring 3 11:34 AM January 25th 1983

"You're late today Georgina." Kazama sits there fidgeting. "I don't want to fight today, maybe tomorrow." "why?" "Kazama, I saw you're training with Xavier." "So, you're scared?" "no, I say you train more with him today." "Ok…" Kazama can see she's blushing, and not making eye contact. "Hey, what's wrong?" Kazama asks. "I whisper," Kazama can't hear her, "Sorry, what did you say?" "I- um… Think, I L-..." "you-?" "I THINK I LOVE YOU!" Kazama can't really process this information, it was so sudden, all he had done was beat the living shit out of her, and save her from a sexual assault encounter. "I um-" He stutters in his words, he doesn't know how to tell her that he has a girlfriend (Remember:He forgot she died). "Uhm, Georgina I-" "I know. I know you have a girl, I've been listening." "I'm sorry…" "no- it's fine. I won't even have contact with you after a week ""how come?" "you'll be deported from the compound, I think."...

Boxing Ring 3 7:03 AM January 26th 1963

Georgina is at the ring early, practicing, she's actually warming up. She's looking forward to seeing him today.

12:01 PM

No sign of Kazama, Georgina still trains, as surely he's late.

3:04 PM

He slept in?

5:07 PM

Ok, where the fuck is he? Georgina leaves the boxing ring, crying. She goes to the yard outside, she sees Xavier and Kazama laughing, and training. "*hic*" She shuts the door behind her, tears streaming down her face, she was abandoned by the one she loves. She starts hyperventilating, she looks through the window at those two fighting, and Kazama has far surpassed her abilities already… she was useless

12:09 PM January 29th

"Xavier, the fight's today." Kazama reminds him, while they scrap. "I definitely think you can take Jack, I'm not too sure 'bout Liam." Xavier says as Kazama sweeps his legs "DAWN SHATTERER!!!" He shouts and he slams his foot into Xavier, Xavier coughs up blood. "Ugh… I count that as you beating me at 2.5%" Xavier laughs as he stands up, "alright kid, I'm gonna tell you why we're so special now."

25 minutes of talking later

"Lemme fight you at 5%" Kazama requests, "ok… KAMI NO PUNI!!!" Xavier suddenly teleports behind Kazama, before Kazama can react he looks down, and sees Xaviers fist through his belly, "You got a bit too cocky, kid."

2:45 PM January 29th Med Bay

Kazama jolts up after being healed, his fight is in 15 minutes, it's in the arena underneath the C.I.A. Compound. Xavier puts down his newspaper "Finally, you're awake, grab my arm." Kazama grabs his arm, Xavier supposedly speed walks there, but it still seemed like teleportation to Kazama. Once they got down there, it looked exactly like the colosseum in Rome, just underground, with 60,000 people in the audience. "Who are all these people!?" Kazama asks, "Rich people who bought their way here." Xavier says "well go get into gear." Kazama goes into his changing room, and everything is already ready, "Do things like this happen regularly?" Kazama says, confused, as he thought that this was a one off. "No, it's actually very common."

Kazama walks out in his gear, everyone boos him, he's very confused, and his ego's hurt. "Natsuki Kazama!!!" the announcer shouts out over the intercom "Previous College Professor turned mass murderer!" "What!???" Kazama shouts out, but when he sees his two opponents walk out, the crowd starts cheering, "Jack Willis, and Liam Blackwell! This duo has been the colosseum's champion for 5 years! Let's see if they can defend their title!".

"Hey, guys a 2v1 isn't very fair" Kazama jokes, "Shut the fuck up!" Jack screams, Liam, ever quiet, doesn't say a word.

"3…"

"2…" "you're going down punk!" Jack shouts.

"1…" "I think it'll be the other way around," Kazama jokes.
