Namco × Capcom/Story/S2:Pre-Stage

20XX AD - In Front of the Mishima Zaibatsu Building

Bruce: "So this is it... the Mishima Zaibatsu building."
Fong Ling: "But is it true? The story about the Mishima Zaibatsu getting their hands on a sample of that virus?"
Bruce: "It's information from a reliable source. ...Otherwise, I wouldn't have come all the way to this dangerous country."

[Location: Ibis Island]

Regina: "Mishima... I've also heard rumors that he's doing something at the site of the former Third Energy Research Institute on Ibis Island."
Regina: "It's just a rumor... I haven't been able to confirm it yet. And Shadaloo has taken notice of it..."
Fong Ling: "That's why you came all this way, isn't it?"
Regina: "That's right. However..."
Regina: "I've secured the files containing the results of the Third Energy experiments, so he shouldn't be able to do anything for a while."

Regina (...including that boot disk.)
Bruce: "...But seriously, can't you do something about your outfit?"
Bruce: "You stand out way too much."
Regina: "...Whose fault do you think that is?"
Regina: "That commotion on the ship... You were the one who said we should retreat because it was getting out of control."
Bruce: "..."
Hsien-Ko: "Absolutely ridiculous, like a donggua."
Fong Ling: "...And because of that, we ended up having to bring this girl along too."
Bruce: "I'm the only one being blamed here, but you guys were the ones who went along with the suggestion, weren't you?"
Hsien-Ko: "...Well, that's true."
Fong Ling: "..."
Regina: "..."
Fong Ling: "...So? Who are we meeting here?"
Regina: "I wonder where those guys who were using karate went?"
Bruce: "...Don't change the subject just because things got inconvenient."
Bruce: "We're meeting with 'Shinra'... a Japanese special agency."
Bruce: "And those karate guys seem to have escaped the ship just like us."
Bruce: "That's all."
Fong Ling: "'Shinra'? Never heard of them... Are they trustworthy?"
Bruce: "I was just told about them from above. ...They seem to be an organization that's been around for a long time, but they rarely appear on the public stage."
Regina: "Like a counter-terrorism special forces unit?"
Bruce: "More like counter-occult... or something like that."
Hsien-Ko: "That sounds kind of fishy."
Fong Ling: "You saying that is also..."
Regina: "We can't just wait around..."
Regina: "Let's ask some questions."

Meanwhile - Mishima Zaibatsu Building, CEO's Office

Heihachi: "..."

(Someone enters the room)

???: "Did you call for me, Heihachi Mishima?"
Heihachi: "Let me hear what you have to say."

[Location: Namco Theater]

Heihachi: "It's about the Namco Theater incident. Why did you deploy those androids without telling me?"
Bomb: "They are my pawns. You have no right to complain."
Heihachi: "You don't seem to understand your position."
Bomb: "Then what will you do, Mishima-dono? Will you cast aside this pathetic old man?"
Heihachi: "...Hmph, knowing you, you've probably prepared some kind of excuse."
Bomb: "Hehehe... Project 'WAYA' has entered its final stage."
Heihachi: "...Oh?"
Bomb: "The Muso Battoh-ryu... the now-lost ninja technique... the analysis from the documents is complete."
Bomb: "With this, my daughter will become the strongest warrior!"
Heihachi: "My daughter... hmph, that android?"
Heihachi: "I'll be watching with great anticipation. Don't let yourself be defeated again by that strangely dressed 'masked man'."
Bomb: "...Guh..."
Heihachi: "Don't forget that I picked you up because of your android technology, Bomb."
Heihachi: "The 'Nitta 4-chome Incident'... the battle where you lost everything."
Bomb: "..."
Heihachi: "Bomb, there's something I want you to do."
Heihachi: "...Right now, there are some troublemakers near this building."
Bomb: "...Troublemakers?"
Heihachi: "Yes... people who are snooping around my conglomerate."
Heihachi: "Eliminate them. ...With that, I will overlook this incident."
Bomb: "Who are they?"
Heihachi: "You don't need to know."
Bomb: "Then, I will prepare my android unit immediately."
Bomb: "Excuse me."
Bomb: (I knew he was a man with many enemies... The ones outside are probably some kind of intelligence agency...)
Bomb: (Hmph... They're perfect for recording experimental data... But what exactly did they come to investigate?)

(Dr. Bomb leaves)

Heihachi: "...The U.S. Strategic Command, huh?"
Heihachi: "They seem to think 'that virus'...is in my possession..."
Heihachi: "...Hmph, that was the original plan, though."

20XX AD - Shibuya, Japan

Jin: "Is this... Shibuya?"
Jin: "...'Designated Closed City'... It certainly seems so."
Jin: "..."
Jin: "Now that I've come this far, I shouldn't be pursued anymore."

[Location: Spencer Lane]

Jin: "I feel bad about what I did to the people I met on the ship... But I don't want any trouble."
Jin: "...Let's go. Finally... the moment has arrived."

Meanwhile - ???

???#1: "...What...is...happening...?"
???#2: "Don't worry. Once we 'seal off' that organization, the rest will be easy."
???#2: "Everything is...perfectly under control."
???#1: "...I can't...get through...not yet...I..."
???#2: "Leave it to me. ...Something like what happened '10 years ago' will never happen again."
???#1: "...I'll...leave it...to you..."
???#2: "It's been... 10 years."
???#2: "10 years since that man interfered..."
???#2: "...10 years for my body to regenerate..."
???#2: "Hehe... But, Shogo Arisu... That man is no longer here..."
???#2: "Now that the Arisu bloodline has ended, a mistake like 'that time'... will never happen again."
