Tekken:Lost memories

Chapter 1 [ Unfamiliar memories]

(The red coloured words are in reality,while the others are flashbacks of the unknown past)

"What is this place?"A young man talked grogilly.The place was somewhere he had no memory of,neither did he see or heard."..This may be a dream..."Suddenly,he heard something.

Through the roar of the thunder and the cries of the rain, there was a sound of a boy howling in pain. He lied on the floor, staggering to stand up, but in his condition, it was something impossible to ask for. He was near to his life’s end, but that is when he heard a voice, a strange voice. " Poor child….....Is this treatment you received from those wretched souls?"The boy raised his head weakly and stared at different directions, but he did not see where the voice came from. "Who….are you?"the boys asked with his voice barely upon a whisper. "...That doesn’t concern you, child. The point is I have come to offer you a choice." The voice said firmly."....What choice?" The boy asked confusedly. "A choice to live or to die."

Silence filled the area for a moment, as the voice continued: "You should be aware you do not have much time left." The boy could only make a sad face, the voice was right. His skin had bore many new scars that would not have healed for a very long time, or maybe forever, especially the part on his chest. The cliff he was thrown down to was ruthless enough to clash a boy who was only at the age of eight with the aid of the sharp rocks and rocky surface.

Suddenly, The boy felt pain that surpassed the pain he had just now, it was almost time he met up with the gods in heaven. His eyes were closing, even to his displeasure. "And here I offer you a choice… keep on living? It may be a bitter life, but you can keep on fighting to live on, fulfill your dreams. Or do you choose death? Where you may temporally stop the pain you now bear, but it will also mean this is where everything ends. Your life,your ambitions, your dreams, your desire, EVERYTHING."The voice told the boy who was covered with blood. It was almost the end of the line, there was a hard decision he certainty could not choose to answer later, then he asked weakly: "If I wish to live… How can I do so...?" The voice gave an answer: "That’s the reason I came. I can help you live on, I can grant you absolute power, and I can help you accomplish your desire…But for a price.""…What price…?" "..In exchange of your soul." It wasn’t a pleasant thing to hear, who would enjoy having their soul taken? "Ngh.." However, it was a second close to his limits; everything started to go fuzzy and black. "You must be quick. You must not hesitate any longer. If you truly wish to live on, speak."

When that was said, the boy remembered what his reason to live was. He’s eyes glowed with rage, anger was I his veins. He wanted revenge; revenge on the one who did this to him. It doesn’t matter if his soul was taken, it would had been the same, at least he wouldn’t die directly right here. The difference was that he would die later, after he accomplished what he desired, and that he could die in satisfaction. "I wish…to live on…" The boy managed this sentence with his voice, almost dying. "Speak louder, child. I must hear you loud and clear." "I WISH….TO LIVE ON!!" As this was said, the boy couldn’t hold any longer, his eyes were slowly closing. "Well spoke, child. I will grant you the power to fight and live on. From this day forth, I will be a part of you. I will fight beside you, and together, we will be invincible…" When his eyes were almost shutting, they immediately opened as wide as ever.

The boy was paying attention to the voice that It took a while for him to realize he was no longer in pain. He slowly stood up and stared at himself: The scars were still there, but they’d stop bleeding.. The wounds…They magically healed. "…You did this..?" the boy asked standing still, for he did not know which direction he should stare at. Instead of an answer, the voice let out a reverberating laugh:"Give a guess." "... You’re no angel, are you?"The voice once again laughed at the boy’s naïve question, but then gave an answer:"No. I’m no angel. I’m what the opposite of a pure white angel." After a few seconds of thinking,the boy came to a shocking realization:"..A DEVIL…" "That’s correct. Unlike an angel from the light; I’m a devil from the dark. But right now only darkness may help you achieve your desire.. The key to absolute power…ANGER...RAGE and HATRED… You want to kill him don’t you? So give in to the anger…Give in to the rage...Kill —"

The rest of the flashbacks went black, only a boy who wore crimson red eyes standing on the top of a thousand feet high cliff smirking with a devilish look could be seen...The young man who was seeing this scene coudn't help but shiver...What is this?
