In the previous tournament, Ling Xiaoyu was saved from Heihachi's schemes by Yoshimitsu, the head of a band of Robin Hood-like thieves. Yoshimitsu also explained the history of the Mishimas to her. Believing that Heihachi throwing his son, Kazuya, into a deep ravine was the cause of all the calamity, Xiaoyu was deeply affected by the news of Heihachi's death. She fell into a funk, thinking "If only we could have that time back...."
At this time, she encountered a self-proclaimed genius doctor who claimed he could build a time machine if he had enough money for his experiments. Believing she could use a time machine to alter events, Xiaoyu resolved to enter The King of Iron Fist Tournament 5.
