2 years after the [[Tekken (video game)| King of the Iron Fist Tournament]], the Mishima Zaibatsu, under the leadership of [[Kazuya Mishima]], has become more powerful than ever before and is involved in many illegal operations. While his father [[Heihachi Mishima]] was rather ruthless in his endeavors, Kazuya acts completely without a conscience. He hires assassins to eliminate any of his critics and rivals, extorts money from several businesses and organizations, and smuggles endangered species to conduct genetic experiments on them. The reason for his evil deeds is that he has allowed the Devil within him to consume his soul and mind as a result of his hatred towards Heihachi.
Meanwhile, Kazuya is sentenced to being arrested by animal rights activist and operative [[Jun Kazama]] for his experiments. Heihachi on the other hand, whom Kazuya had defeated and thrown off a cliff
When Jun enters the tournament and eventually comes face to face with Kazuya, she tries to arrest him, but instead, the two can not help being drawn to one another, propelled by a mystic force beyond Jun's control. Besides her duty to arrest Kazuya, who smuggles protected animals, she wants to free Kazuya of his evil power and drops out of the tournament as a result.

Later on, the tournament officials reinstated Heihachi, allowing him to replace Paul in the finals when the latter was forced to forfeit after getting stuck in traffic due to a multi-car collision on the expressway and, therefore, unable to make the match on time. At some point during this time, Jun was able to cause an internal conflict within Kazuya, weakening Devil's hold over him.
Despite her efforts, Jun
After defeating Kazuya in the finals, Heihachi throws Kazuya's unconscious body into a volcano before escaping on a helicopter just as the volcano erupts behind him, taking revenge and regaining the Mishima Zaibatsu. In the meantime, Jun, who became pregnant after her past meeting with Kazuya during the tournament, gives birth to Kazuya's illegitimate son [[Jin Kazama]], resulting in her leaving everything behind to raise their child.
