Prologue: The Attack

In an office that looks quite dark as it's barely lit comes into view, we see a man sitting behind a desk that's wearing a black business-type suit and appearing to be deep in thought. That man is Jin Kazama.

Just then, another man walks into the office, this one also wearing a business-type suit, but has gelled-back black hair and is wearing a pair of shades. He also seems to be carrying a folder with him.

"Master Kazama, sir," says the man.

Jin looks up to see the man and says, "What is it?"

The man speaks up again, saying, "I have that file you wanted to see."

"Good," says Jin.

The man then walks up to Jin and hands him the folder, which Jin carefully opens up to see a file on a woman. When see the picture of the woman, it turns out to be that of Kasumi.

Jin reads over the file carefully to not miss any details, then says, "According to these readings, my theories about this woman could be true. Have you confirmed the location of her former home?"

"Yes, sir," says the man. "Our spies located the Mugen Tenshin Village not too long ago. What are your orders, sir?"

Jin goes quiet for a bit, but then speaks up again to say, "Attack it. We need to lure this woman out of hiding seeing as she no longer resides in her village, yet I feel she cares for it deeply. That said, I'll let her come to me."

"What or who should we send to perform the attack on this village," asks the man.

"Just a squadron of attack robots," says Jin. "If these ninjas are as skilled as they're supposed to be, then we won't be getting any of them back. And if that's the case, it's an acceptable loss. That said, I don't want them taking any lives, but I don't what them to leave everyone unharmed as I do need it to seem like we mean business. Mostly, I just want the village leveled to the ground, and nothing more than that. Is that clear?"

"Crystal, sir," says the man. "We'll begin the attack at once."

The man bows and then he leaves the office.

Soon, Jin goes back into deep thought as he says in thought, "So, it could finally happen. If all goes according to plan, I will be rid of this curse at the end of the next King of Iron Fist tournament. I hope to see you soon... Kasumi."

In th Mugen Tenshin Village, we see Ayane walking through the village. She stopped to see some of the children at play. As she does, she puts on a bit of a smile on her face as she's soon reminded of the times she played with Kasumi when they were children.

After a while, Ayane snaps out of her daydreaming and says with a stern face, "Why are those memories still popping up? It's not like I still want to be friends with that traitor, so... why am I still getting them?"

Ayane continues her walking down the village streets when she stops immediately after a black, cylinder-shaped object rolls in front of her. Knowing what it, she immediately panics with a look of terror on her face.

"Grenade," yells Ayane, who then jumps from it just as it explodes.

The explosion sends Ayane onto her back, the left side of her face bloodied up.

Everyone who saw the explosion is alerted that an attack is coming, which readies their shinobi into action as a few of them go to help Ayane.

Just then, a few bombs fly through the air and start to hit the village houses, setting them ablaze.

As he sees this calamity happening, Shiden says, "What is the meaning of this? Who would do such an attack to our village?"

Just then, Hayate appears next to him and says, "Father, let me and the others take care of this attack! You just get to some place safe!"

"No," says Shiden. "If you're going to fend off this attack, then I'm joining with you!"

Knowing he won't win this argument, Hayate simply nods to his father.

Just then, some more shinobi appear behind them, and one of them asks Hayate, "Sir, what are your orders?"

Hayate turns to the shinobi, and says, "I need one of you to send a message to Ryu Hayabusa. Tell him to find my sister, Kasumi! The rest of you, I want you to follow me in finding who did this attack and eliminate them!"

"Sir, I'll be the one to send the message," says a shinobi.

"That's fine," replies Hayate. "The rest of you, follow me!"

"Right," says all the other shinobi.

After that, they all leave to do their given duties.

Meanwhile, taking place at night in Hong Kong, we see Kasumi hoping from building to building. Though still in her usual attire, Kasumi has her hair out of a ponytail to let it flow freely.

"Let's see," says Kasumi. "The Hong Kong Police Department shouldn't be very far from here. Helena said there's almost no better at helping in an investigation than Lei Wulong. Hopefully, I can get him to look into anything and everything related to Victor Donovan."

Just as Kasumi is about to hop to another building, she hears a voice call out saying, "I found you."

Kasumi panics as she looks behind her, but then becomes slightly more relieved to see that the person is Ryu Hayabusa.

"Hayabusa," says Kasumi. "What brings you here? I hope it's not to stop me from me trying to find Victor Donovan."

"In a way, yes," says Hayabusa. "However, I'm not here to fight you, but to bring you back to your village."

"What," Kasumi asks out of shock. "Hayabusa, you know I can't go back to my village. Ever since I broke the code..."

"That's in the past for now," interrupts Hayabusa. "This takes precedence. According to a message I received, your village is in trouble and they told me to find you so that I could bring you back home."

Kasumi asks in a shocked tone, "My village came under attack? From who?"

"I don't know," says Hayabusa. "It seems whenever that message was made, they didn't know who or what attacked them. So, if we're to find out, we must head back to your village. Please, Kasumi."

Kasumi puts on a solemn look as she looks behind her and says, "I was really hoping to find more evidence on Victor Donovan with the help of Officer Wulong."

"Kasumi," says Hayabusa. "I know you've always felt like an outcast ever since you broke your village's code, but right now, we have to put that behind us and deal with the problem at hand. Do you understand?"

After a while, Kasumi looks back at Hayabusa with a glare of seriousness and says, "Let's go."

Hayabusa nods, then both he and Kasumi leave together.

The next day, both Kasumi and Hayabusa arrive at the village, but both look horrified at what they see.

"No... this can't be," says a very distraught Kasumi.

"It's worse than I could have imagined," says Hayabusa. "The village has been destroyed."

As we get a shot of the Mugen Tenshin Village, we see the whole place is smoldering and destroyed.

"Let's go have a look," says Hayabusa. He then looks at Kasumi, who has a worried expression on her face. He then says, "Kasumi, I know you're worried about what the people will think, but the request to bring you back was sent by them. Besides, with what's happened, we need to think more about the safety of everyone rather than what will happen to you. Do you understand?"

Though still very worried, Kasumi looks to Hayabusa and just nods.

"Good," says Hayabusa. "Then let's go see what we can do assess the situation."

After that, both Kasumi and Hayabusa jump out of the tree they're in and head towards the village.

Kasumi and Hayabusa walk through the village to see all of the destruction that took place, as well as the people that are injured.

"My gosh, it looks even worse up close," says Hayabusa. "I've seen some underhanded things, but this is really going too far."

As Kasumi observes the destruction of her village herself, she sees some of the people looking at her with surprise, which makes her look away from them in shame.

Just then, a group of shinobi appear in front of both Kasumi and Hayabusa, then one of them says, "Hayabusa-san, thank you for coming and bringing Kasumi back to us."

"You're very welcome," says Hayabusa with a bow.

The shinobi bow back to Hayabusa, then they look at Kasumi, who has her head hung in shame as she says, "Long time, no see."

"Master Hayate wishes to see you, Kasumi," says the shinobi. "Please, follow us."

"Right," says Kasumi.

Afterwards, we're taken to an area of the village where Hayate, Ayane and Shiden are, along with Ayame and a few shinobi, as well as some of the villages healers, who are tending to both Ayane and Shiden. Ayane is lying down on her back as she's not completely awake from the grenade explosion she encountered, and Shiden is sitting on the ground next to Ayame, who consoles him while the healers get to work on his wounds.

Just then, both Hayabusa and Kasumi arrive at the area where they are. As he hears their footsteps, Hayate looks to see both of the ninjas approaching. As he does, he puts on a look of both surprise and relief when he sees Kasumi.

"Sister," says Hayate to Kasumi.

Hearing that makes the others with Hayate look to see Kasumi coming towards them.

"Hey there," says Kasumi nervously. "I'm back."

"Kasumi," says Ayame. "Oh, thank goodness that you're back!"

"Indeed," says Shiden. "It's good to have you back, my daughter."

Shiden and Ayame get up to walk towards Kasumi and both hug her deeply. Hayate walks towards Kasumi, who is still being hugged by her parents. After a long hug, Kasumi looks to see Hayate giving a big smile to his sister.

"Welcome home, sister," says Hayate.

"Oh... brother," says Kasumi as she's about to cry.

Kasumi runs to Hayate and gives him a big hug, and in return, Hayate hugs her back.

Though not fully recovered, Ayane looks to see the affection that Kasumi is being given, which starts to make her look a little bitter, but she tries not to say anything.

After Kasumi and Hayate finish their hug, Kasumi then looks at Ayane and says, "Ayane... it's... good to see you as well."

"You would say that right now, wouldn't you," says Ayane coldly.

This makes Kasumi go back to looking downtrodden.

"Don't worry about what Ayane feels towards you right now, sister," says Hayate. "All that matters is that you're back with us."

Kasumi then looks at Hayate with an expression of seriousness and asks, "What happened here brother? Who attacked this place, and could do it so viciously?"

Hayate says in a solemn tone, "We don't know. The attack came so swiftly, and we were caught completely off guard. We did our best to find those responsible, but we had no luck. Whoever did this attack, they were definitely not amateurs."

"Amateurs or not," says Shiden. "What they have done is unforgivable. I promise we will hunt them down, whoever they are, and deliver swift justice."

"And I'll join with you if you would allow me to," says Kasumi. "I may still be a runaway, but I care for my home and my people. I want to defeat whoever did this to my home."

"Liar," says Ayane.

The others look at Ayane, who's beginning to pick herself up.

"What did you say," says a hurt Kasumi.

"You heard me," says Ayane. "You're a liar! You know this attack on our village was all your fault!"

"Ayane, stop it," says Shiden.

"That's right," says Hayate. "Kasumi doesn't need this attack on her character."

"Oh, but she does," says Ayane. "Ever since she's run away to join in that stupid Dead or Alive tournament, thus revealing existence to the world, we've become more and more vulnerable to invasions like these. Who knows what could happen next?"

"That might be true," says Hayate. "But in other ways, it was inevitable that we would stay hidden forever. This is not Kasumi's fault."

Not listening to Hayate completely, Ayane says, "I bet she even planned this attack on us just to get revenge for trying to hunt her down, or for the fact we were most vulnerable. It's not uncommon for the little princess to take down her old kingdom that she abandoned, after all."

"Enough of this, Ayane," says Ayame in a loud tone.

"Ayane... it's doesn't matter what I say to you, but you should know I would never plan such an attack on my home," says Kasumi. "Still... I will accept the blame for this."

"Kasumi, you don't have to do that," says Hayabusa.

"But it is true," says Kasumi. "If I never ran away, then this wouldn't have happened. This village would still be hidden from the world and left unharmed."

"No," says Hayabusa. "Don't be so negative. Knowing what was on the line, you would have left regardless of what would come. You're just that type of person, Kasumi."

"But, even so..." Kasumi starts to say.

Just then, Kasumi is interrupted by a shinobi that arrives where the group is as he says, "Master Hayate!"

Hayate replies, "What is it? Did you find a trace of the attackers?"

"No, sir," says the shinobi. "But we did find this."

The shinobi holds out his left hand to show an envelope.

"A letter," asks Hayate. "To who?"

"It seems to be addressed to Kasumi," says the shinobi.

"A letter for me," asks Kasumi who then rushes to take the letter.

As she does, Kasumi opens it, she pulls out the letter and begins to read it, which goes as follows:

"To Kasumi,

I know you must be angry over what I've done, so if you wish to take out your revenge on me, I will be in Tokyo holding a tournament. If you want to avenge your village, be there.

Signed,

Jin Kazama."

"Jin Kazama," asks Hayabusa in surprise.

"Do you know of him, Hayabusa," asks Shiden.

"I've heard of him a few times," says Hayabusa. "He's apparently the new leader of an organization called the Mishima Zaibatsu, a multinational financial conglomerate who have had some shady dealings in the past. However, they've begun to wage war with the whole world ever since Jin Kazama took over to the Mishima Zaibatsu for unexplained reasons."

"And now, our village had to become a target for this Jin Kazama, as well," asks Ayame. "Why?"

"Well, according to what our daughter read," says Shiden. "He was obviously after her."

"If Kazama is really doing an attack just to get Kasumi after him, then this can only be a trap," says Hayate. "Who knows if he's making deals with Victor Donovan right now?"

"Indeed," says Hayabusa. "But we can't let this go unpunished. How shall we go about this?"

Kasumi takes the letter in her left hand and crumples it with great anger.

"Kasumi, dear," asks Ayame.

We then get a shot of Kasumi's mouth from the side as she grits her teeth out of anger, then says, "Jin Kazama, wasn't it?"

"That's right," says Hayabusa. "But... you're not thinking about..."

"He's gonna' pay with his life," yells Kasumi.

Everyone close by can feel Kasumi's rage, especially Ayane, who's very surprised as she's never know Kasumi to be this angry. In fact, it's usually the kind of anger she herself gives off.

Hayate then comes to Kasumi, and says, "Sister, let's take this slow and steady. This could very well be a trap for..."

"I don't care," interrupts Kasumi with a loud yell. "If this Jin Kazama was responsible for the attack on my village, then that's bad enough! Even worse that he was doing this just to get to me!"

"Calm down, Kasumi," says Shiden. "We'll figure something out here."

Kasumi yells, "And then what? What if he plans another attack on this village and we're not prepared? What then? I won't stand for this! I'm going to Tokyo to kill that man, and no one's going to stop me!"

After that Kasumi takes off running in the direction she came from.

"Wait, Kasumi," yells Hayabusa.

"Master Hayate," says a shinobi. "What should we do? Should we bring her back?"

Thinking long and hard about his answer, Hayate says, "No, let her go. She's feeling a lot of rage at this point. And personally, I can't blame her."

"But, Hayate..." Hayabusa starts to say.

"It's alright," says Hayate. "We're not going to lose sight of her, but we just need to let her cool down."

"You sound like you expected this would happen," says Hayabusa. "You and I know very well that Kasumi has been too compassionate and kind to let this much anger get a hold of her."

"Maybe so," says Hayate. "But she is my sister, so I should know her very well when she might snap like this."

"Still, we've got to go find her," says Hayabusa. "If we don't, she's going to end up doing something real stupid."

"Yes," says Shiden. "And with that, would you look after my daughter once more, Hayabusa-san?"

"You can count on me, Master Shiden," says Hayabusa with a bow.

"And of course, I can count on you with this task, my son," says Shiden to Hayate.

"I won't let you down, father," says Hayate.

After that, both Hayate and Hayabusa take off for Kasumi in the direction she ran in.

"A grand attack like this, and all just to get to our daughter," says Ayame. "Even Donovan wouldn't stoop that low."

"Indeed," says Shiden. "And with how angry Kasumi is, I pray for this Jin Kazama's life. Or I would say that if he didn't attack our village like this."

Just then, getting a shot of Ayane's face, which is still in shock, says in thought, "I've never seen her that angry before. Maybe I've had Kasumi all wrong these years. Great, now even I'm starting to worry for her."

To Be Continued in Chapter 1.

Just to let my viewers know, I have very little knowledge about both of the Dead or Alive and Tekken stories as I haven't played enough games to fully understand them. That said, I'm mostly using the wikis for both games to do this crossover, so if I screw something up, please let me know so I can better it, okay? Thank you.
