Description: Heihachi and Tekken Force appear in Metro City to help stop Vega's reign of terror. A thing the Master of Psycho Power does /not/ appreciate. Beatings ensue... on both sides... but ultimately Vega is the victor. He then later strings his opponent up naked in Metro City Square to add insult to injury. These two will be fast friends, surely...
Heihachi's spent the last 24 hours thoroughly rampaging many of Vega's vital forces. The elites and hardware he sent that would have completely annihilated any vestiges of resistance within Metro City were countered multiple times by an equivalent force. Any battles that waged on long enough for Heihachi to personally arrive were crushingly defeated. Tekken Force has proved to be every bit as elite as information would have indicated, although this is the first time they have been publicly deployed in such a manner -- not many people could hope to counter Vega's military resources, but it seems the rapid moving private army of Heihachi Mishima qualifies.
A problem that he is certainly the only one capable of solving. Even Juri would likely fall in direct combat with the King of Iron Fists.
At the present, the bulk of Heihachi's hardware is being gathered once more. About eight tanks are lined up at the base of the bridge, with nearby helicopters landed and being refueled. A good thirty members of Tekken Force are similarly organizing under their commanders, gaining a momentary breather while resupplying.
Heihachi himself is at the head, arms crossed and laughing heavily as he speaks with a media representative. "Things are progressing as I expected!! This is simply Shadaloo operating on a ghost. Vega isn't alive... whoever is running the show is simply destroying whatever little he had left. By the end of the week, there won't be a single person who'd dare to admit allegiance to this organization in the city!!"
Too much, and too often, were Vega's plans being interfered with lately. He had, of course, expected the utmost resistance from the United States military... and he HAD counted on old enemies coming out of the woodwork to defeat him again. But the appearance of dangerous unknowns such as Mahuizoh, and Heihachi were... to say the least... /annoying/. And whatever was so unfortunate as to annoy the Lord of Shadaloo was seldom left breathing...
The night air is abnormally quiet on this part of town... the only noise really being made on this end of town currently was being made by Heihachi and his troops. Mostly Heihachi. Due to the extensive fighting that has occurred in this area over the last day between Shadaloo and Tekken Force, not even the local wild life seem to be around.
All the more fitting... for what comes next.
From literally out of nowhere, there is a massive explosion upon the earthen embankment not too far from where Heihachi and the media representative are having a one-sided discourse. Earth is launched skyward, and dirt and gravel flies outward in a cloud as the loud explosion hits. Were ANY of Tekken Forces men nearby when this blast goes off... they were nearby NO LONGER... having been sent into lower oorbit possibly along with a portion of the embankment.
From out of this cloud... walks a ghost. A massive man clad in pristine, crimson, military attire that SOMEHOW managed to avoid getting any dirt except for a tiny pebble upon it. The pebble is promptly swept from his shining shoulder plate dismissively. In the darkness of this night, two things would be most visible to the man and women gathered nearby: 1. A pair of GLOWING, ghastly white, eyes... and 2. An enormous cloud of black and purple energy surrounding the encroaching figure. Even for the psychically unsensitive... this energy REAKED of killing intent!
"A ghost... am I? ... Perhaps. ... But this ghost will soon be making all of your worthless lives a LIVING HELL..."

Vega 0/-------/-------|-------\-------\0 Heihachi
Immediately, Heihachi tenses as the explosion runs through the surroundings. Two tanks are sent flying, and one helicopter is similarly bowled over. About six men are no longer, either launched outside the dull pull of gravity or worse. The rest are reacting pretty quickly all things considered, reforming at safer distances and bringing up their weapons. They were black armor with red highlights, encased with masks, and cutting edge hardware developed to not only work on vehicles, but fighters as well.
Heihachi himself stands broad with his own custom fit Tekken Force armor, only lacking the helmet. There's a momentary look of rage on him, clenching his fist tightly with a tremble. "FALL BACK." he demands, causing a surprised glance from those still present. But they obey quickly, disengaging rapidly. These men are not throwaway grunts; each represents hundreds of thousands of dollars and many countless months of grueling training. Heihachi will not risk a single one of them being unduly injured.
And then he strides towards Vega, slowly rolling his shoulder with a slow exhale. The media person quickly flees, although the cameraman turns around and continues filming from a safe location. "Hah! So you ARE alive. To tell you the truth..." Heihachi grins then, before explosively summoning up the depths of his own power. Cerulean lightning ripples over his armor, the ground around him shattering in thick, wild cracks as an intense shimmer of energy sheathes him. Immediately confirming him to be one of the strongest people alive despite his age. In fact, he may very well have been above Vega for a good portion of his own much longer existance.
"I WAS HOPING YOU WERE STILL ALIVE!!"
And then he explodes forward, kicking from the ground and flowing into a brutal motion. Whirling around, the back of his fist launches towards Vega's trademark chin, instantly starting the combat in earnest without so much as a hint of parlay!!
COMBATSYS: Heihachi successfully hits Vega with Strong Punch.
- Power hit! -
[ \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ < > ///////////////////////////// ]
Vega 0/-------/-----==|-------\-------\0 Heihachi
As the Lord of Shadaloo approaches, and the Tekken Force soldiers train their weapons upon his regal person... he stops in place. ... And LAUGHS uproariously. "...Do you fools REALLY want to die that badly?" Anyone with even an iota of common sense KNEW pointing a gun at Vega was a futile gesture. There was a good reason he had yet to be bombed back to the stoneage by the US military.
As they are ordered to fall back, however, and Heihachi approaches... Vega's boisterous laughter slowly quitens. He then allows an ear-to-ear grin of pearl white pefection to creep into his features... "Ah, I see. Business before pleasure..."
The dark purple, cloak that had been adorning his frame is then promptly untied... and tossed carelessly aside... as he falls into a wide-leged fighting stance. His right hand is balled into a fist, thumb extended, as its brought back to his jaw level. From there it rocks back and forth slowly, set in a motion almost resembling a 'cut throat' gesture. His left is flattened, downturned, left to simply wait at his side. "...I like your attitude! It is a pity I will have to kill you."
Not, really. But what comes next is rather... anticlimactic. For no sooner is that remark made, and Heihachi's powerful fist collides with Vega's chin... nearly breaking his jaw from the get-go and forcing him to have to spit blood. "...TRASH!!!" The angry dictator shouts, after the punch is thrown, "YOU DARE TO TOUCH MY REGAL VISAGE!!!"
..And then he responds in a fierce manner, attempt to reach out and seize Heihachi by his armor. If he can succeed in doing so, then he'll immediately unleash a powerful kick to his midsection... another whirling kick to his throat as he balances his opponent over his head on his foot... and then finally toss him to the ground behind him like so much garbage!

Vega 0/-------/---====|=====--\-------\0 Heihachi
Well, that was a satisfying report from Heihachi's fist. It is an easy mistake to think that due to his age, he might not be at his physical prime. First blood has been claimed by the Mishima, and he revels in it with his own grin. In sheer arrogance, Vega may have found his match. "A king should be able to protect his jaw!!" is all he spits back, before slipping backwards and summoning a sheathe of cerulean flames about his hands. A split second before catching the intruding fist he is caught, and the armor betrays him; yanked forward, he instead tries to stagger into a better position, only to get kicked in the midsection and doubled over.
His black and crimson armor literally shatters, offering no protection and revealing a bruised stomach. The kick to the throat whirls him overhead, a helpless little struggle before he bounces off the ground and rolls away.
"... ... ...!!!" He has never been struck so hard in his life, at least in so casual a manner. Blood pours from his mouth, psychic energy throbbing in his head. But still he rises, grasping the rest of his armor's upper body and ripping it off in a flex of muscle and flash of chi, allowing the discarded pieces to land around him.
"Hahaha... You are one of the few titans in this world I never fought... despite me hearing your whispers in the shadows. Did you wait so long... because only now you might be able to win...?!"
*CLANK* The first booted kick makes contact, forcing a large dent into the armor as it finds Heihachi's gut. The similarly massive, older by appearance, warrior is then launched into the air and Vega whirls in place as he switches kicking legs, and raising the other booted foot HIGH over his own head in an extraordinary feat of flexibility. That foot, held sideways, finds its way into Heihachi's throat successfully as Vega balances him overhead by it. Then the Master of Psycho Power whirls again, bringing that verykicking leg down and discarding the older man to the ground like the rubbish Vega believes him to be.
Shortly afterward, the Lord falls back into his wide legged stance... spitting blood over his right shoulder before grinning wildly again. "You are apparently even more of a fool than I had realized..." His grinning visage is shaken slowly several times... his eyes would be alight with vicious mischieviousness right now if it weren't for their utterly inhuman emptiness. "There exists no man, living or dead, who compares to me. I am a god! ... And you..."
Suddenly, he rockets skyward, propelled by Psycho Power... flipping upside down above Heihachi suddenly and plummeting... "...You are an insect who has been unfortunate enough to catch my attention!"
What will come next is quick, far too quick for a normal man to even see well let alone dodge... but Heiachi MIGHT prove himself to be an exception. Vega channels a cloud of concentrated purple and ebony energy into and around his right hand... and thrusts it toward Heihachi as he speeds toward the ground!
COMBATSYS: Vega successfully hits Heihachi with Devil Reverse.
[ \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ < > //////////// ]
Vega 0/-------/-======|=======\-------\1 Heihachi
Heihachi is certainly more then a little dazed, and Vega is being appreciably ruthless in regards to such. Although he has discarded the Tekken Force armor that truly offered no point -- against fighters that might be his peer, it's as effective protection as cardboard -- Vega's next blow still strikes true, slamming into Heihachi's face and sending him staggering away. He tries, and fails, to remain upright... collapsing down to a kneel, hand impacting the ground. His dazed eyes look in the pool of spattered blood, realizing then the true ferocity of a man like Vega. Someone in his prime, who has exceeded his limitations, stepped free of the irrevocable chains of time, infinitely growing...
But Heihachi does not feel fear. Instead, it is envy. A base, seething jealousy, and little else.
Spitting out a tooth he had grown tired of in the first place, Heihachi unsteadily rises to his feet once more. "An insect..." he repeats, as if tasting the word. A brief glance shows that the majority of the Tekken Force have dispersed into the surroundings as intended. "Me? HAH!"
And then he suddenly kicks off the ground in an eruption of concrete and asphalt, whirling towards Vega with brutal intent... one leading elbow attempting to impact him in the stomach, and double over the beret-clad chinbrawler!! "It's been too long... since I've been spoken down to by someone who isn't a kitten with sharp claws... for people like us, arrogance is only a natural state of being... given how inferior the rest of the world is!!"

Vega 1/------=/=======|=====--\-------\0 Heihachi
The psionically empowered punch connects without a hitch, bringing Heihachi to a kneel before Vega. AS IT SHOULD BE! ...The master of Psycho Power then utterly breaks the law of gravity by stopping his descent in mid-air, by will power alone, and rights himself quickly. He then hovers backward, his heavy military boots then touch the unworthy earth once more as he lands with his feet brought together neatly. The inhuman monster stands several feet away, with perfect poise and perfect posture, as his massive trunk-like arms cross over his barrel chest. Why... he didn't even lose his cap! All the more insulting for the eldest Mishima...
"You are truly a disappointment. ... I came all of the way out here because I'd heard a demon was lurking in my house, ... and I find only a little mouse." Uproarious laughter escapes from the demonic Shadaloo leader, his whole frame shaking with it. "EHEHEHEHE.... aaaahhh... more's the pity. ... You should have never thought to challenge me, you doddering old fool. Your retirement is long over due."
As Heihachi launches himself in the air toward Vega, trying in vain again to assault his regal person, Vega simply sneers... that dark shroud of billowing psionic energy thickening... "...You wish for me to end you?!" ... Then, suddenly, he leaps from the ground with inhuman speed and barrels toward Heihachi. His entire body suddenly begins to whirl like a mighhtty Psycho Powered Tornado as he charges into the eldest Mishima with one hand over the other... "YOUR WISH IS GRANTED! DIE! PSYCHOOOOOOOOO CRUSHAAAAAAAAAAA!!!" ... Heihachi would soon find himself impaled on Vega's fists a she's plowed through and knocked aside... the Psycho Power surrounding Vega would reach out upon contact and swallow him whole... leaving him awash in the ominous burning fires of Vega's fury!
"Bahahaha..." is all Heihachi manages to say, right before the brutal onslaught of psionic power rushes upwards and connects with him dead center. He is blown away, right out of his strongest move; one that has brought people to their knees more then once. Vanishing from sight in a flare of purple energy, when Vega rushes past, it seems that the all-consuming wrath of the man will work yet again. But suddenly, Heihachi's body explosively flexes, and he stamps his feet into the ground. A blast of blue chi and a crash of lightning disposes of the summoned energy, although he is broken and battered all the same.
"Say what you will...!! You've crushed me this time!!" is hissed out, blodo coughed upon the ground. But as he starts to collapses forward, suddenly he pushes into a last assault, chi seething across his fingertips as he sweeps it overhead in a brutal arc towards Vega's own head, trying to do a volleyball smash of the tyrant into the ground. "But... it will take more then that... to kill me!!"
Truly a brutal and short-lived fight. Heihachi's limits were realized yet again. First against Kain after a dominating start, and once more in his ability to stand up to Vega's destructive onslaught long enough to return the favor. Maybe he's getting just a touch old... Maybe.

Vega 1/---====/=======|
...And after Vega is planted on the ground, Heihachi's leg whirls upwards, before slamming down right on his back. An explosion of chi launches the dictator upwards, before he's caught in the face and, whirling around, hurled in a brutal slam upon the ground opposite. The force of the motion is too much, and Heihachi crashes down to his knees, wracked with pain as his body finally just gives up the goat... but at least his defiance paid off!!
Vega stops himself in mid-air once more, after his Psycho Crusher makes contact and Heihachi is discarded. As he rights himself once more, feet coming together again, he rubs that already beaten jaw with his left hand. Apparently, Heihachi's attack was not entirely futile... the bastard had managed to not only plow his powerful elbow into Vega's jaw... but knocks his service cap off as well!
Vega sneers, angrily again, his jaw joint CRACKING and popping back into place as he does so. Few men had ever single-handedly caused the Shadaloo dictator even this much pain. Regardless of whatever Vega has said thus far, Heihachi's power was indeed impressive... and a tad concerning.
Slowly, he makes his way back toward the ground... even as Heihachi plows into the earth feet first defiantly... making a declaration Vega has heard /far/ too many times before. "...Two hundred and thirty nine..." is pretty much all he replies with, apparently he keeps a tally of how may times would be heroes have used a certain line! "...You fools always have a lot to say, and so little to show for..."
...But as his feet touch the ground again, the arrogant ego maniac would find he had again underestimated the Mishima! Heihachi barrels toward him, intending to assault him one final time before his body gives... and Vega conjures yet more of his power into his right fist in preparation. ... But before he can ever even hit Heihachi with it, he finds himself shoved face first into the ground violently and his back is SMASHED by a powerful drop kick! He's then launched skyward again, but not under his own power... and then grabbed by the face and slammed again painfully into the earth once more!
...After which, his opponent loses conscious and the battered and broken Shadaloo lord is left speechless, insulted, and in PAIN!
...And the FURY this pain invokes is enormous! Suddenly, Vega EXPLODES from the ground again... pristine teeth bared in an angry snarl as that choking, dark purple, cloud of death surrounding him intensifies... almost appearing as a blackened hole in fabric of the world around him. A few loose strands of pitch black hair hung loose before his ghastly white eyes... dirt caking his hair and uniform. "YOU DARE TO SULLY MY PERFECTION, YOU FILTHY MONGREL! YOU WILL DIE FOR...!" ... And suddenly, he realizes his opponent is lost to the depths of unconsciousness.
...And Vega is forced to containhis lethal rage. It would do him little good at this point to kill the fool. He'd never know it happened, and Vega hated wasting an opportunity to bring fear.
Settling upon the ground again, he promptly brushes the dust from his hair, and his person, and attempts to tidy up as best he is able. Then, he stares down at the old man with immense disdain... "I would kill you... but you are well on your way. Killing an old fool who has lost the majority of his sanity would be a service besides..." He then walks off, picking up his cap from the ground on his way out, and shaking the dirt from it before placing it upon his head. "...Now for those other fools..." He stares off into the distance, the diorection Tekken Force disappeared in... "...Yes."
