It's finished, folks!
Lee Chaolan has been dutifully watching over me for two years, and thanks to his vigilance,
Phoenix Reborn is now complete. Phoenix Reborn is my Tekken 3 fanfic novel
(sorry, Paul Phoenix fans, but Paul has only a bit part). This novel is dedicated to Dark Ki, who has helped me immensely with the creative process.
Phoenix Reborn takes place in the same continuity as my other six video game
fanfics:
The Spinning Blade (Mortal Kombat 2 short story)
The Dragon's Jaws (MK2 short story)
The Most Necessary Evil (MK1 short story)
The Blood On My Hands (MK2 novella)
The Coming of Winter (MK1/Killer Instinct short novel)
Ashes of the Phoenix (MK3/Tekken 2 novel)
and two of John Evans' MK fanfics:
Inheritance
Til Death Do Us Part
If you wish to post Phoenix
Reborn or my other fanfics on a web site of your own, then all I ask is that you contact me,
include a link back to my site, and let me resend you the chapters. This is because no matter how
much I proofread, there are always a few typos that I fail to correct until after the final draft has
been distributed.
Phoenix Reborn is the sequel to Ashes of the Phoenix; it features Tekken 3
characters with a few guest stars from Soul Edge, and Shingo Yabuki from King of Fighters '98.
Apologies to my Mortal Kombat fans, but no Mortal Kombat game characters appear in
person.
The chapters have been posted to alt.games.video.sony-playstation, rec.arts.anime.creative,
rec.games.video.arcade, and rec.games.video.sony, over the course of two years. The full novel
and all of my other fanfic is available on my web site

I will also e-mail any of my fanfics to anyone who's interested; just send me e-mail at

What Has Gone Before...
In 1997, Lei Wulong turned the course of the Great Invasion when he vanquished the
Devil-possessed sorcerer Kazuya Mishima in single combat. Six months after the monstrous
invaders
were driven from the Earth, Lei married Jun Kazama. Lei and Jun raised a son, Jin Kazama.
However, the greater part of Jin Kazama's telepathic and sorcerous powers truly came from his
biological father, Kazuya Mishima. Lei and Jun kept the identity of Jin's genetic father secret from
their child, in order to protect Jin from his grandfather: Heihachi Mishima, the President and CEO
of a syndicate that controlled a third of the world.
On Jin's fifteenth birthday, he learned the truth about his heritage,
and the immortal Toshin murdered his mother. Her sacrifice banished the Toshin from the Earth
for five years. Heihachi discovered that he had a grandson, and convinced Jin that Lei Wulong had
murdered Kazuya Mishima in cold blood. Believing Lei to be a murderer, and blaming Lei for
'abandoning' Jun to the Toshin, Jin pledged his life to his grandfather and went to live in the
Mishima syndicate.
Four and a half years later, in December of 2017, Heihachi
Mishima renewed his syndicate's Iron Fist Tournament...
