The Lone Wolves are back!!!
GEESE HOWARD, Master of Southtown. From the punks lurking in dark alleys to the back rooms of City Hall, his name and influence holds sway with all.
However, Geese's quest for control and power has come to a complete halt. Since his battle with Jeff Bogard his empire has begun to crumble. And now...
"Mr. Geese, Sir. A telegram..."
-
To Geese Howard, my little cream puff.
Your sliminess and greed has been a source of great enjoyment for me these past years, but, ala, your end has come. We are all surfing on a wave of new evil.
Unfortunately, for you, my friend, the wave is here, and you have no board.
Auf Wiedersehen, Meine Kleine Sucker,
WOLFGANG KRAUZER
-
Krauser! The Dark Kaiser. The man of mystery who hangs over Geese like the cloud over the city's waste treatment plant on a hot summer day.
"Can't you get ride of this...wiener?!"
"Yes, your Blackheartedness..."
To build up the strength and training of his lethal body guards, Billy Kane and Raiden, in the effort to crush Krauser, Geese opens "The King of Fighters Battle Royale".
Yes Geese's plans go awry, and the Southtown tyrant becomes raw meat for the Lone Wolves.
"TIGER KICK!"
"POWER WAVE!!!"
"ZAN EI KEN" (QUICKSILVER SLASH)
The battle between Geese and Krauser was never meant to be. Geese meets his end on the cold pavement of a Southtown Avenue.
Time flows on.....
SOUTHTOWN.
One year later.....
Terry Bogard, beloved son of the streets of Southtown.
Andy Bogard, tempering mind and spirit in far off lands.
Higashi Joe, the Kick-Boxing pro.
Invitations have been delivered to all three. This year "THE SULTAN OF SLUGS BATTLE ROYALE" awaits our heroes. Are they up to the challenge?
The Pau-Pau Cafe, SOUTHTOWN
"Richard! It's Bogus-ville, Arizona!!"
"You mean this. I got one, too."
"Jumpin' Mexican Jelly Beans, Richard! Whatta ya gonna do?"
"Jumpin what...? Anyway, I'm keeping my buns here. What are you prepared to do ...I bet Andy and Joe are thinking the same thing. Wherever they may be..."
While Terry and Richard speak, invitations are being read by Andy, Joe, and a handful of the world's strongest fighters.
Where, when, and against who? These questions still remain to be answered until moments before the match of the millenium...
Put Up Your Dukes and Let's Fight!
