Pocahontas

Disclaimer: I don't own any of the characters—they belong to Namco (Tekken) and Disney (Pocahontas).

Summary: A group of English settlers, namely Mishima Corporation, embark on a journey in search to discover the 'New World'. The ship lands on a peaceful land, and they start digging in hope to find gold. A brave captain decides to take a look around the place—only to meet a native, the daughter of the chief of her tribe. The two fall in love, and they continue to see each other, despite the warnings given by their friends.

A/N: Right, I know what you're thinking… Disney and Tekken don't go together, right? Well, what if we use the most popular couple and blend their chemistry to create a remake of this tragic and spirited tale? Time and places used are exactly the same as used in the Disney movie—however, dialogues and scripts might be diferrent. Please R & R. Enjoy!

Chapter 1: The Beginning

---------------------------

England, 1607

In sixteen hundred seven, we sailed the open sea

For glory, God and gold and the Virginia Company

For the New World is like Heaven

And we'll all be rich and free

Or so we have been told be the Virginia Company

So we have been told by the Virginia Company

For glory, God and gold and the Virginia Company (pause; humming)

The story opens with a view of Old England and the sea, with people crowding about the harbor. Seagulls fly around, surrounding a huge ship that was about to sail across the globe. People hugged and talked excitedly about the adventure that was about to begin. One of them was Jun Kazama, a young mother, who was hugging her only and beloved son, Jin. The fairly young Jin has decided to join the crew of the ship, which would take them to 'New World'. Although new, he thought the journey would worth the experience.

"Bye, Mother," Jin smiled at her crying mother.

"Take care," Jun smiled back, hugging her son for the last time, as he was about to set aboard. His cousin, Asuka, came to bid Jin goodbye. She grinned at him, shoving playfully on his shoulder. Jin nodded reluctantly, and left to the ship.

As Jin climbed the wooden board to the ship, he saw a few men talking. They seemed to be discussing about this trip excitedly, so Jin joined them.

"Ready to hoist the cannon?" Steve Fox asked the other guy.

"Right!" the man, named Paul Phoenix, responded. Then he raised his eyebrows at a young man approaching the ship. "Hey, look. Is that Hwoarang?"

"That's him, all right. The old sea dog," Brazilian Eddy Gordo replied.

Jin brightened up. "Captain Hwoarang. I've heard some amazing stories about him." He didn't expect the man to be so young—in fact, Hwoarang could be the same age as him!

"Are you coming on this voyage too?" Eddy and Steve chimed.

"Of course he is, you half-wit." Paul smacked both of them on the head. "You can't fight Indians without Hwoarang."

The red-haired young man smirked at them. "That's right." He climbed up to the deck. "I'm not about to let you boys have all the fun."

On the beaches of Virginny

There's diamonds like debris

There silver rivers flow and gold you pick right off a tree

With a nugget for my Winnie

And another one for me

And all the rest will go to the Virginia Company

To glory, God and gold

And the Virginia Company

A royal carriagearrived at the location. Soldiers and knights lined up in each side of a red carpet that was laid down in the middle of a path leading to the ship. A knight opened the door. Out came a man in his mid-40s. His black hair was slicked back (with gel of some sort), and his intense eyes looked straight firmly. As he passed the knights, he held up his chin arrogantly. Jin frowned. It was his dad, Kazuya Mishima—the successor of Mishima Corporation, the company which sponsored the mission. Behind him, Lee Chaolan walked out of the carriage, carrying a pillow with a tiny pet dinosaur on it.

Kazuya had abandoned Jin and his mother in the past, forcing Jun to raise Jin all on her own. The single mother never complained, though. She still loved Kazuya, no matter how much Jin hated him.

He arrived on the ship, and ordered every crew—not looking at Jin—to get onboard. People waved and bid goodbyes to their loved ones. The journey begins!

The ship was in the middle of the sea, and storm was clouding over.

"Haul on the brace!" Bryan Fury, Paul's closest friend, shouted. "Haul on the brace!"

"Come on, come on! Do your best!" The rest of the crew were trying to grip and hang on to the ship as much as possible to avoid being driven overboard.

"Watch out!"

"Faster! She's taking on more water!" Paul yelled.

"Look out!"

"Hwoarang! Get down here!" Eddy cried to the captain. "The cannons are breaking loose!"

Hwoarang ran to the deck. "Reef the topsails!"

"Yes, sir!"

"Steady on your course. It's all right, Thomas. We'll get her tied off." Hwoarang helped Steve tying the knot of the sail. "Say your prayers, men!"

Jin frantically went to help with the capstan (ship's winch). "Jin, watch it!" However, the wind was too strong… he fell to the sea.

"Help!" he screamed. The water was cold, he started to drown.

"Man overboard!" Hwoarang yelled to the ship's crew.

"Help!"

"Stay your course! He's lost!"

"Help!"

"Pull the pins!" Hwoarang jumped off the ship and dived in the water.

"Aye, sir!"

"Hwoarang! Hwoarang!" Steve yelled out after the redhead.

"Are you crazy?" Paul shouted in disbelief.

"Hang on, Jin! I've got you!" Hwoarang reached Jin.

"Quick! The rope!" Eddy told the other men. He threw the rope to Hwoarang, who grabbed it. "Heave!"

"Come on, lads! Pull!"

"Pull! Pull!"

"Put your back into it!" Paul shouted encouragingly to the crew.

"Pull!"

"Pull!" Steve yelled. "Hang on!" Panting, they dragged Hwoarang and Jin back to the ship successfully. All the men on the deck seemed exhausted, yet relieved.

"There, my lucky lads." Paul grinned.

"Well, that was refreshing." Steve wiped the sweat beads on his forehead.

"Well done, Hwoarang." Eddy handed two blankets for both men for warmth.

"Of course, you'd all do the same for me," Hwoarang replied.

Paul, Steve and Eddy exchanged looks. "Oh, sure, sure. Of course we would! Sure, yes. Yeah, we would. Absolutely!"

Inside a cabin, Kazuya had just been informed by his loyal servant, Lee Chaolan.

"Trouble on deck?"

"Governor Kazuya." Lee Chaolan nodded. "Jin Kazama fell overboard, sir. Thank heavens he's been successfully retrieved." They walked out to join the bunch.

"Well done, Hwoarang." Kazuya stared at Hwoarang, then at the shivering Jin.

"Thank you, sir." Hwoarang bowed quickly.

"Don't lose heart, men. It won't be long before we reach the New World." Kazuya walked to the deck, looking at the ship's crew. Lee followed him with a lantern. "And remember what awaits us there. Freedom, prosperity... the adventure of our lives." As he pronounced these words, the men's eyes glittered. A tiny pet dinosaur Kazuya was holding close to him, named Gon, let out a tiny roar with each word. "You're the finest crew England has to offer, and nothing—not wind nor rain nor a thousand bloodthirsty savages—shall stand in our way," he continued. "Carry on, men!"

"A stirring oration, sir." The crew were dismissed.

"I'm sure the men were most exhilarated," Lee spoke up.

"Let us hope so I'll need those witless peasants to dig up my gold, won't I?" Kazuya replied, narrowing his eyes evilly.

Meanwhile, on the deck, Hwoarang and the other men were talking.

"This New World's gonna be great, Hwoarang," Jin grinned. I'm gonna get a pile of gold, build me a big house... and if any Indian tries to stop me, I'll blast him."

"You just worry about that fortune of yours, Jin." Hwoarang smiled at the junior. "Leave the savages to me."

"You think they'll give us much trouble?" Jin asked curiously.

"Not as much trouble as Hwoarang'll give them!" Paul chirped. He grabbed his rifle and pretended to shoot Indians. "We'll kill ourselves an Injun."

"Or maybe two or three." Hwoarang took a knife and stabbed it at a wine barrel. The red liquid poured out, and a few men—including Steve and Eddy—joined in, snatching their wine glasses.

"We're stalwart men and bold of the Virginia Company." They toasted. Hwoarang and Jin shook their heads and laughed. They made their way to the bow of the ship.

"What do you suppose the New World will look like?" Jin asked.

"Like all the others, I suppose." Hwoarang shrugged. He stretched his arms. "I've seen hundreds of new worlds, Jin. What could possibly be different about this one?"

It's glory, God and gold And the Virginia Company

---------------------------

Behind the mist and clouds, a view of a land was shown far in the distance. Canoes were making their path through the river. Sounds of drums and chants were heard.

He-ga he-ga ya-h-iye he-ga

Ya-hi-ye ne he he-ga

A tanned man in deerskin clothing blew to a conch shell, letting out a loud alarm. He and a few men ran down the hills, all the way to the village.

He-ga he-ga ya-h-iye he-ga

Ya-hi-ye ne he he-ga

As they were passing by the cornfield, hundreds of birds swept off the ground. Women and girls who were picking corn smiled, for they knew what was happening. They rushed back to the village, following the men.

Steady as the beating drum

Singing to the cedar flute

Seasons go and seasons come

Bring the corn and bear the fruit

Men and little boys who were by the riverside, swimming and fishing, put down their fishing rails and put back their clothes on, dashing to the village.

By the waters sweet and clean

Where the mighty sturgeon lives

Plant the squash and reap the bean

All the Earth our mother gives

An old man, with white hair and beard (supposedly a healer), who was transforming smokes from bonfire into countless shapes, surrounded by children, heard the alarm and stopped. A few kids who were playing lacrosse (A/N: Indian-style lacrosse…?) dropped their sticks and ran to greet the warriors, who were returning from war.

Oh, Great Spirit, hear our song

Help us keep the ancient ways

Keep the sacred fire strong

Walk in balance all our days

Seasons go and seasons come steady as the beating drum

Plum to seed to bud to plum

(He-ga he-ga ya-h-iye he-ga)

A woman with auburn hair, who was sitting in front of the leading canoe, had a determined expression on her face. Unlike other women of the village, she was wearing a well-fitted head dress, with feathers. In her right hand was a large wooden stick, with ornaments on the top. She was the chief of the tribe. The canoe stopped by the shore, and she stepped off, followed by other Native American men. A teenage girl sprinted to one of the men, hugging him, and they both fell in the water. The warriors laughed, and the chief smiled.

Steady as the beating drum

Now all the village people had gathered in front of the chief's tent, talking excitedly. The chief raised her hand, and the villagers were silent. "Cheskchamay—It's good to be home." Villagers clapped. "The Massawomecks are defeated! With the help of our brothers, our villages are safe again." They cheered and whistled, hugging each other. She smiled, and they were dismissed. The old man approached her.

"Wingapo, Michelle," the man welcomed her, and they hugged.

"Chama wingapo, Wang Jinrei." She returned his hug warmly.

"Your return has brought much joy to the village." Jinrei smiled, motioning to the cheerful villagers. "Look at all the smiling faces." They, indeed, were smiling. Michelle and Jinrei glanced at a man who was hugging his wife and kids happily.

"Yes, but there's one smiling face I don't see. Where is my daughter?" she asked.

Jinrei chuckled. "You know Julia. She has her brave father's spirit. She goes wherever the wind takes her." He gestured a motion at the blowing wind. The gust of wind blew to the mountain. A large waterfall was shown, and a young woman was standing on the rocky surface. She had a chestnut hair, much like Michelle, and an Indian headband with a feather at the back of her head. The wind blew softly around her, as if greeting the girl.

"Julia!" A call of her name alerted her. She looked down at the river, under the waterfall.

"Your mother's back! Come down here!" A young girl of her age with black hair, siting on a canoe, called out for her to hurry down.

"He's back, Roo," Julia smiled at a baby kangaroo that was standing by her side. "Come on, Mokujin!" She yelled at an alive wooden figure (A/N: Had to include it in this fic!), who was munching on raspberries. The two followed her as she ran down the hill. But she stopped. She smiled, turning around, and dashed up the waterfall hill. Without showing any signs of fear, Julia lunged down the waterfall.

"No! Not that…" Her friend cringed, looking at Julia. "…way."

Hands flat by her side, Julia dived into the water successfully. Her black-haired friend, named Xiaoyu, placed her hands on her hips, looking crossed. "Show off."

Unexpected, Mokujin ran and leaped off the hill, imitating Julia. Roo followed him (A/N: Let's refer Mokujin as a male here!), riding on his back. Mokujin closed his eyes proudly—however, as he looked at the bottomless waterfall, he clutched on to Roo. "Uh-oh!" Both fell into the water—successfully—with a loud splash.

Meanwhile, Xiaoyu was searching for her friend. She looked at the water. No sign of Julia. "Julia! Are you all right?" Still, no sign. She crossed her arms, exasperated. She didn't know that Julia was slowly swimming to the surface. "Well, you better be all right because I'm not coming in after—" Julia pushed her off the canoe, flipping it upside-down. "—you!" The two landed in the water, under the canoe. "Don't you think we're getting a—a little old for these games?" Xiaoyu asked, coughing. Julia didn't respond, instead sprouting water at her best friend from her mouth, giggling. Xiaoyu gasped. She splashed water at Julia. The two continued to splash water at each other.

On the base of the canoe, Mokujin was climbing back up, with Roo babbling angry words in kangaroo language. He clearly was blaming Mokujin for the unsuccessful dive. To shut him up, the wooden body pushed him off the boat.

"Help me turn this thing over." Julia and Xiaoyu flipped the canoe to its normal position.

"What were you doing up there?" Xiaoyu asked curiously, drying her hair.

"Thinking." Julia squeezed drips of water from her hair. Mokujin came up to the boat. He shook water from his body ignorantly, splashing water on Xiaoyu. "Mokujin!"

Xiaoyu grimaced at the wooden figure. Then she looked at Julia. "About the dream again? Have you figured it out yet?"

"I know it means something... I just don't know what." Julia tossed her hair on her back, putting her head band again.

"You should ask your mother about it," Xiaoyu suggested.

"Maybe I should. Come on, Roo." Julia grabbed the joey (baby kangaroo) from the water. She squeezed Roo' stomach and water sprouted out of the animal's mouth. "Quit playing around. We have to get back."

Back at the village, an assembly was held. Michelle stood at the front, talking. "...faced a determined enemy. The battle lasted from the rising of the sun until the evening shadows fell." Julia and Xiaoyu joined the crowd quietly, so no one knew they were late. "Our warriors fought with courage, but none as bravely as Bruce…" The chief pointed to a firm-looking dark-skinned man standing next to him."…for he attacked with the fierce strength of the bear." Villagers cheered. Jinrei snatched a handful of red powder in a clay bowl he was holding. He made hand prints on Bruce's chest. "He has proven himself to be the greatest of warriors..."

"Oh. He is so handsome." Xiaoyu stared dreamily.

"…and the finest among us..."

"Hmph. I especially love his smile," Julia commented sarcastically, looking at Bruce, who looked like he never smiled.

"…destroying every enemy in his path. Tonight we will feast in his honour. E-wee-ne-tu," Michelle ended the assembly. Villagers went back to their teepees. Xiaoyu left with her family.

"My daughter." Michelle grinned when she saw Julia.

"Wingapo, Mother." Julia ran to her mother.

"Seeing you gives me great joy," Michelle smiled, and the two hugged.

"I'm so glad you've come home safely."

"Come with me. We have much to talk about." Michelle took hold of her daughter's hand, leading her inside their big teepee. "I want to hear everything you've been doing." Inside, Michelle took off her head dress, and placed her staff by her bed.

"Mother, for many nights now I've been having a very strange dream. I think it's telling me something's about to happen. Something exciting," Julia said.

Michelle looked at her daughter. "Yes, something exciting is about to happen."

Julia was surprised. "Really? What is it?" she asked excitedly.

"Bruce has asked to seek your hand in marriage." Michelle smiled proudly.

Julia's smile vanished. "Marry… Bruce?"

"I told him it would make my heart soar."

"But he's so…" Julia peeked outside the teepee. Bruce was standing firmly on the ground, ignoring little boys who were trying to play with him. "…serious."

"My daughter, Bruce will make a fine husband. He is loyal and strong and will build you a good house with sturdy walls. With him, you will be safe from harm."

"Mother, I think my dream is pointing me down another path," Julia said, unsure of the decision.

"This is the right path for you," Michelle said.

"But why can't I choose—" Julia was interrupted by Roo, who was hiding near potteries and clay pots on shelves above her head. He slipped and Julia caught him, but the pot fell to the floor, smashed. Julia giggled at the joey.

Michelle sighed. "Julia, come with me. You are the daughter of the chief." She led Julia out of the tent. "It is time to take your place among our people. Even the wild mountain stream... must someday join the big river." She gestured around the place and the river.

"As the river cuts his path

Though the river's proud and strong

He will choose the smoothest course

That's why rivers live so long.

They're steady

As the steady beating drum.

Your grandmother wore this for my wedding." Michelle took out a turquoise necklace from her pocket. "It was her dream to see you wear it at your own." She tied it around Julia's neck. She smiled. "It suits you."

How will Julia choose her right path? What will the English settlers do when they arrive at the land? Find out in the next chapter: New World.

A/N: How do you like it? I've always loved Disney movies, and I think Julia suits Pocahontas' image the best. Drop me a line if you like it. At first I was gonna have Christie play the role of Nakoma and King as Kocoum, but I turned them down because I think Xiaoyu is closer to Julia and Bruce is firm-looking. You can't have King, who always wears a tiger mask, plays the role of the firm-faced Kocoum, can't you? Please review. Happy reading!
