Opening
The opening starts with a flyer for the King of Iron Fist Tournament 2 on the floor as Jun picks it up

The narrator comes on. "20 years ago, there was a warrior named Jun, an animal protection officer, protecting all wildlife."

It then cuts to artwork of Kazuya in his devil form.

"Sensing a mysterious power in Kazuya, she enters the tournament to release the mystic forces surrounding him."

"But, the power was too much for her. Her touch led out a different side of Kazuya."

It shows artwork of Angel.

"Angel, the power of Jun and Kazuya fused into one being, made to protect Earth."

"Yet, their power together also created evil; Jin Kazama."

"Jin now uses that evil to destroy more evil; his family."

"That quest comes to an end, now."

It then cuts to 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.

You fight Ogre as Jin.

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.

Jin wakes up, as it was a nightmare.

"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.

"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.
