Opening
The opening shows Jun and a child Jin Kazama running in grass fields. This is the happiest Jin has ever been, and the happiest Jun has seen Jin.

"Catch me if you can!" Jun says as Jin giggles.

Jin looks all over for Jun. He cannot find her.

All of a sudden she finds Jun choked out by Ogre, the ancient warrior.

Jin is now seen as an adult.

After you beat Ogre, you get knocked over by Ogre as Jun gets brutally choked out and her head gets crushed by Ogre in front of Jin.

"Mother.." He mumbles.

It then cuts to Jun laying next to a cliff. The devil gene has been boiling inside of her, trying to revive her for 15 years

She opens her eyes.

Many people are gathered in the arena for the King of Iron Fist Tournament 8. Jin has entered the tournament to defeat Kazuya.

"Just so you know, things will not go your way as you think they will", Jin says to Kazuya

"I will put an end to you, i will be the last Mishima standing.. but.. not the last Kazama standing," Jin adds.

Kazuya has a suspicious face, as he thinks Jin may be planning something.

Kazuya scoffs.

"If you think you can take down my new and improved Tekken Force soldiers, you might as well kill yourself right here. Good luck, Jin."

Meanwhile, Alisa and Lars are fighting through the Tekken Force soldiers.

Cutscene 5
"I wont back down, you will not take down my country of Poland!" Lidia says.

"I have nothing to do with the Mishima Zaibatsu, i want to destroy it, like you do." Jin says

"Hmph. Very well." Lidia says as she runs off."

Cutscene 6
For the 2nd battle, you fight Bryan Fury.

"Oh, its you. Get the hell out of my way or get your face smashed in!" Bryan says

"You first," Jin replies
