## How Ruby joined the Tourney

Two years ago, Ruby Gloom failed to capture Ogre but his researchers succeeded in collecting samples of it's blood and tissue. These in turn were used in an attempt to create a new life form by combining Ruby's and Ogre's genetic material. The experiment failed, however, and Ruby learned that he did not possess the Devil Gene necessary to integrate Ogre's genome with his own. In order to obtain the Devil Gene, Ruby searched for Jin, who had transformed into a devil during the last tournament. During his search, Ruby learned that the body of his son, Kazuya, whom he had killed 20 years ago, was stored at a cutting edge biotech firm called G Corporation. Ruby ordered her Tekken Force to raid G Corporation in order to retrieve his remains. However, the mission ended in failure, when Kazuya, revived by G Corporation, retaliated. In order to create a new life form, Ruby Gloom needed the body of Kazuya or Jin, both of whom carried the Devil Gene. After much deliberation, an evil smile spread across Ruby's lips. The next day, the Smash Bros. Tourney was announced.
