Shortly after the events of the second Dead or Alive Tournament, the Dead or Alive Tournament Executive Committee took the leader of the Hajinmon sect of the Mugen Tenshin clan, Genra, as a human weapon, to create the "ultimate fighter", as part of Project Omega.

The experiment was a success, and Genra was turned into the monstrous, inhuman creature Omega. To test the subject's skills against others, DOATEC held the third Dead or Alive World Combat Championship to use as a testing ground.

The leader of the Mugen Tenshin clan, Hayate and his half-sister Ayane (Genra's foster-daughter and heir) entered the tournament, also with their friend Ryu Hayabusa, to kill Omega to stop any destruction that may arise, and to kill Genra.

As the shinobi made it to the final rounds, an argument started about who should kill Omega: as leader of the clan, Hayate felt it was his duty to help a fellow master, and Ayane felt that, as the foster-daughter of Genra, only she could slay the monster her father had become.

After defeating Hayate, Ayane was the one who faced Omega. She managed to destroy the super-human, and Genra was laid to rest. As a result of Genra's passing, Ayane became the new master of the Hajinmon Sect.
