| This was an old temple situated
between several mountains. As the sun was setting soon,
there was a display of the shadows of the mountains being
cast upon the other mountainsIt was a breezy and sunny
day. In the park named as 'South Town Park', the laughter from the children playing soccer and baseball had not stopped a bit. Admist the children who were playing basketball, a man wearing a read cap walked in. "Hey! Let's do our best today again!" "Yeah! It's our dear Terry! You are here again today!" After a few games of basketball with the kids, Terry sat on a bench talking with them. "Terry, the television has been advertising The King of Fighters! Are you participating this year too?" "Oh issit? There is a tournament this year too... Come to think of it, I have always been part of it every year." "Yes! And we hope you will participate this year too, Terry. You are the hero of this place!" "As for me, I got my courage through watching your matches! I no longer feel lonely anymore!" Another child said. The main reason why Terry often came to this park to play with the kids was that similar to him, these kids were all orphans. He hoped to follow the footsteps of his father Jeff in giving these kids the courage to live their lives through tough situations. Just as long as these kids were happy... Terry then made a decision. "Okay! I will participate this year again!" "Really? Yeah!!!" Looking at the smiles on the children's faces, Terry remembered the happy days he had with his father. At this moment, a woman came down from her motorbike and walked towards Terry. "Hi Terry, it's been a while since we last met." "Oh! Mary! How have you been? How did you know I was here?" "Ah. It's just a woman's intuition. You appeared to be very happy; what did you just say to the kids?" "Oh, about that... I just decided to participate in this year's tournament to keep the kids happy." "Actually, I am here today because of KOF too. My current mission is related to it." "Oh really? If this is the case, we will need your help this time again, Mary. Let's work hard this year again together!" "Whoa... Terry, although the client did request me to get into KOF, I wouldn't want to participate in the tournament just because of the mission either. I am joining for your sake." "Thanks for that then, Mary!" "Hehe..." "Alright! We will win the tournament this year!" Japan. Andy was sparring with a boy named Hokutomaru in the Shiranui training area. Although Hokutomaru was only a child, Andy had to give it his best during the training. When the sun started to set and the whole day's training had been completed, Andy started talking to Hokutomaru. "I think you are aware what KOF is all about now..." "Yes. I heard it from you before, master." "Good. Anyway, my brother contacted me and invited me to join the tournament with him. Hokutomaru, I want you to follow me and experience what real fighting is." "Yes, master." "Another thing... Regarding this matter, can you represent me to clarify with Mai? If I am to talk to her personally, I am afraid..." "Master, me again? I am always the one having to console Mai... Anyway master, you still have a training school right? Don't you have to settle the matters there first?" "I'd better not. Mai is probably keeping a close watch over there..." "Ah. In that case, it's still better to settle the personal matters yourself, master. Bye!" As Hokutomaru spoke, he jumped onto the tree nearby and soon disappeared in the midst of the forest. "Hey! Wait a minute! Hey!!!" Although Andy was a little angry over his attitude, he couldn't help but to show a small grin by his mouth, seeing that his disciple had grown up. On the other hand, Joe had been training
hard for his Thai boxing championship title. One day
while Joe was taking a rest, he happened to see Jim, who
took care of him before. It had been a while since they
last met and Jim looked downcast and quiet, unlike what a
Thai boxer should look like.
