So, uh, remember that fight I mentioned writing before? ......well, here it is, in true FAITO MEME style. 8D;;;;
Fandom: Tekken
Characters: Hikari vs. Devil Jin
Summary in a sentence: "Only a few people can piss me off like you do."
[Remembrance -My Mind, Nobuo Uematsu (Final Fantasy VIII Official Soundtrack) ]
She didn’t say anything as he crashed to the ground, only breathing out a sigh of relief. She had upheld her end of the deal, surprising as it was- she had fought through the tournament, made it to the finals, and had even defeated him.
Yeah. Today was a good day.
Hikari brushed off her pants, ignoring the soreness in her body- she was a soldier, dammit, she had worse happen to her anyway. She gave a small smirk as she glanced down to Jin’s unconscious form, only to tap the communicator headset in her right ear with two fingers. “Hey, Lars, can you hear me? …it’s over. Jin’s knocked out, took longer than I expected, but…yeah. It’s…finally over.”
“Good to hear. You alright?”
“I’m fine, just…surprised, I guess.” Her left hand clenched around a small object- a pendant, to be precise. To be even more specific, a pendant that belonged to Kazumi. It was a keepsake that Hikari had on her at all times, to remind her of why she was doing what she was. She opened her hand, looking down at it with a small, sad smile. “…I did it, Kazu-chan. Neechan saved the day.”
“…Hikari?”
She blinked, shaking her head. “I-it’s nothing. Don’t worry about it. How long until you guys can get in here, anyway?” She asked, quickly recovering.
“…We can move in immediately. Can you keep an eye on Jin until then?”
“Yup, it’s the least I can do. Thanks, Lars.” She lowered her hand, looking back to Jin’s unconscious form. “…You are the biggest idiot I have ever met, Kazama. And I’ve met my fair share of idiots.” She shook her head, snorting. All that trouble…if it weren’t for the fact that he was already unconscious, she would’ve tried knocking him out again. Hikari turned, hand at hip as she pondered her next move. She could go try and see if the others would need any help in subduing the remaining Tekken Force members, but she did promise Lars she’d keep an eye on Jin in case he woke up. …well, doesn’t mean I can’t do a bit of exploring in this room, at least.

But what she felt next almost made her fall to the floor from the pressure. The energy she felt- it couldn’t be coming from- She turned, eyes widened. A pillar of energy was surrounding Jin’s body at this point, and it just reeked of something…unnatural. Evil was probably a better word for it, now that she thought about it.
“What the hell-?!” The next moment, she could feel something hard driving into her left shoulder, piercing both her shirt and the skin. She could feel the blood coming up from the wound, and she bit back a cry, screwing her eyes shut and trying to block out the pain. But in doing so, she had unwittingly dropped the pendant.
She could feel the heat building up in her body as she glared up at her attacker, her lips drawn back in a wordless snarl. But what she saw in front of her was something she hadn’t even begun to think about when it came to Jin.
His eyes had shifted colors, tattoos were appearing on his body, and was that a pair of horns coming out of his head? She blinked a few times, trying to keep conscious as she stared. Black feathers were flying everywhere as Devil Jin was attempting to claw further into her shoulder, something between a grin and a snarl crossing his features.
“Goddamn…get OFF!” Hikari grit her teeth, knowing that she was about ready to make him burn, and by this point, that was alright with her. Her leg was already bent, and before she could really think about it, she had driven it into his torso, attempting to at least knock the wind out of him. She had to disable him as fast as possible so that she could at least figure out what the hell she was actually dealing with at this point.
With another feral snarl, the now-awakened Devil backed off, being forced to pull his claws out of the woman’s shoulder in an attempt to recover. It was at least worth it to see her bleed like this, though he supposed he might be paying for it later. No matter. “…so you’re the woman that’s been causing so much trouble around here lately.”
Hikari let out a small huff of air, smirking. “In comparison to you…I’ve been a fucking saint.” She straightened, letting her hand drop to her side. Her shoulder still stung, but that wasn’t the problem. Right now she just had to keep herself under control until she could get something done about this situation. That’s all that mattered.
“Hikari, what’s going on over there?!”
“…Don’t come up to the throne room, Lars. I’ve got some unfinished business to take care of.” And before he could protest any longer, she had already shut off the communicator. Alright, focus. Make one wrong move and you’re more than likely to get killed.
Devil Jin merely raised an eyebrow, smirking. It was that same goddamn look that Jin first gave her at the press conference, and just seeing it in this form made her want to punch him in the face; granted, that was fairly normal for her as of late, especially when dealing with the Mishima Zaibatsu CEO. “I could smell blood on you from a mile away, woman. Don’t preach to me.”
“I’m a former soldier, dipshit. Of course you’re gonna smell blood on me. And I just went through eight rounds of bullshit to knock your sorry ass out, so con-fucking-grats, you have figured out the obvious. Now why don’t you go lie down like a good boy, I’ve got better things to do with my time.” She could feel a vein throbbing in her temple, taking a deep breath to force the heat down. No point in causing more of a spectacle of it than necessary. Though it was looking more and more tempting as this situation unfolded. A few explosions would make her feel better, at least.
He chuckled, a low, throaty laugh that would’ve chilled most to the bone. “I’ve always liked that about you- you’re straight to the point and you’re not afraid to get your hands dirty. Too bad that most of the others at Fortuna weren’t like that, it would’ve made things a lot more interesting.”
The mention of her home caused Hikari to automatically tense, eyes narrowing. “What. I thought that attack was perpetrated by G Corp. We even have evidence pointing to them being responsible for the bombing-”
“The bombing was caused by Kazuya. But that wasn’t the only situation that happened while you were preparing. I do have to hand it to your President, however- he handled it better than I imagined. Or that silver-haired man… your top advisor, if I remember correctly? I should’ve known he would have military background like you.”
She could feel her entire body shaking, not with fear of what might’ve happened, the old man and Odyssius knew what the hell they were doing. But all the civilians, the people that didn’t have a way to defend themselves after a situation like this- “What did you do to them.” Her voice was low, growling, almost inhuman in and of itself as she clenched her fists, ignoring the fact that her nails were digging into the leather of the gloves.
His smirk only grew as he could practically feel the rage coming off her in waves. Or it might be that strange power that he felt from her, either way, the woman might actually prove to be somewhat entertaining. “Unfortunately, they both got away before I could have any real fun with them, but I’m sure that your silver-haired friend will be carrying a reminder of our encounter for the rest of his days.”
“…Odyssius.” She shut her eyes for a moment, allowing the heat and the fire to engulf her entire body, opening her eyes again. Her irises were glowing gold at this point, and a torrent of flame had erupted from her body before dissipating. The pressure and sheer heat from it lingered in the air as she spoke, gesturing to the demon. “Get over here, fucker. I’ll make sure you’re nothing but ashes when I’m finished with you.”
