STORY.


After the conclusion of King of Iron Fist Tournament 4, an intense battle between father and son, Kazuya Mishima and Jin Kazama, took place at Hon-maru, located deep within the Mishima estate. Driven by a unflinching hate and resentment to destroy the father he has never known, Jin Kazama quickly emerged as the victor. The eldest Mishima, Heihachi, enters the Hon-maru only to immediately be greeted by the unconscious body of his estranged and now defeated son, Kazuya. "What a pathetic wretch...You worthless coward!" So began the fated battle between Heihachi and Jin. Utterly consumed and driven by the memory of Heihachi's vile betrayal 2 years earlier at the conclusion of The King of Iron Fist Tournament 3, Jin begins to manifest the Devil he inherited from his father, Kazuya. Jin's black feathered wings emerge and spread, large black tattoo-like markings surface on his upper torso. Heihachi, now defeated and completely overwhelmed by Jin's inhuman strength, can only prepare himself for his imminent death. On the verge of taking the life of his grandfather, Heihachi, Jin manages to momentarily regain control of himself. "Thank my mother, Jun Kazama, for your life." Jin said, before taking flight through the Hon-maru ceiling and into the clear night sky. The sounds of battle gave way to an eerie silence as Heihachi lay spread out on the ground contemplating the events that had just transpired. The silence was soon interrupted by what sounded like distant approaching aircraft. The roar of the aircraft increased and the sounds of something being ejected could be heard in the distance. Unexpectedly, a group of "Jack" robots crashes through the Hon-maru ceiling. At first, Heihachi suspected that Kazuya and his associates of the G Corporation were responsible for the intrusion, but realized that Kazuya was just as bewildered and stunned by the surprise attack. "Who sent you?! Why are you here?!" yells Heihachi as the first wave of Jacks approaches. With no reply from the intruders and with little choice left, Heihachi Mishima and Kazuya Mishima, father and son, form an unlikely alliance and together battle wave upon wave of Jacks. Reinforcements appear as fast as each Jack robot is disabled
Heihachi, feeling his age, begins to tire and lose his breath. Kazuya, seizing the opportunity to rid himself of his father once and for all, betrays him by mercilessly throwing him into the path of the oncoming army of Jack robots, and uses the opportunity to make his own escape from the now robot infested Hon-maru. A few moments after, Hon-maru is devastated by a titanic explosion, consuming everything in the immediate area whilst also showering burning debris into the surrounding forest and cliffs. Close by, on a cliff top, the destruction is watched by a man dressed in black. He raises his hand to his ear, and speaks into his communication device. "Heihachi Mishima...is dead." At that very moment, a Jack robot attacks unexpectedly from behind, only to find itself instantanously decapitated by the mysterious man, as he then disappears into the night. The once magnificent Hon-maru is completely destroyed, with nothing but a raging inferno left in its place. Once the aircraft had disappeared into the night, a pile of debris was blown apart as something emerged from the fire, unseen. The very next day, news of Heihachi Mishima's death spread rapidly across the globe. Most people believed that Heihachi's death would bring about the end of the Mishima Zaibatsu, but behind the scenes someone else had taken control, and business went on as usual. A month later, it was announced that the Mishima Zaibatsu will hold The King of Iron Fist Tournament 5
