"Good Intentions"
Blue bright sky, the feeling of the wind feels good. This is the park of South Town. The shout of the children playing football or baseball doesn't end.

"Yo! Everybody playing hard?" said a man with a red cap.

"Yeah, it's Terry! You came again! That's cool!" the kids yelled.

After Terry played basketball with the kids, he started talking on the bench.

"Terry, nowadays they show a lot of commercials about another King of Fighters tournament. You're going on the tournament right?" the kids questioned him.

"Oh!? Yeah. They have another tournament this year. It so happens that I entered it every year." Terry mumbled.

"Terry, I hope you enter this year. You're the hero of this city." one kid said.

"I was watching you fight and it helped me to understand that we aren't alone." another kid said.

Terry often visited the kids in the park. It was because they were kids without parents like him. And, like his stepfather he wanted to give them hope and courage. To see their happy faces forever… Terry decided.

"Alright! I'm entering!" Terry said with a smile.

"Really? Oh yeah!" the kids started jumping up and down.

Looking at the happy faces of the children, Terry remembers the time he spent with his stepfather Jeff. Missing those days, he looks to the sky. As he thinks, a woman gets off her motorcycle and walks towards Terry.

"Terry, long time no see."

Terry was surprised. "Oh, Mary! Good to see you! How did you know I was here?"

"I guessed that you were here. Hmm, It's like my women's intuition… anyway, looks like you're having fun. What were you talking about?"

"Actually, it's about this year's King of Fighters tournament. I wanted to make them happy." Terry spoke.

"Oh… actually I came here, because of the tournament too. This case involves the tournament again."

"Really? I'll help you again, Mary! Let's rock in this tournament."

Mary laughed.

"Even though it's a case, I have to solve it because of the client, sometimes I forget it's a case and I want to enter the tournament. I always get help from you and this time I want to lend a hand." Mary said.

"Hah. Then, Mary you're entering the tournament with us this time right?" Terry asked.

"Yeah Terry!"

"Alright, guys! Like last time, the victory is ours!"

The setting changed to Japan. Andy was training a disciple at Shiranui's town. With torn clothes and bare feet, he was very young but Andy trained him harshly.

"I think you know about KOF as well." Andy said.

"Yes, Master talked about it a lot." the boy said.

"Hmm, my brother contacted me. I'm entering this year and I want to show you my fighting till the end. I want to show you what a real fight is." Andy told the boy.
"Yes! I know!"

"And… can you talk to Mai for me? I can't tell her that we're not entering the tournament together." Andy said biting his lip.

"Master, again? It's always me that has to calm down my sister. Ah! Master! Recently you opened a dojo right? Why don't you go hide there?" the boy suggested.

"No, I can't. Mai would probably be waiting for me there... I can't hide." Andy flinched.

"Then, Master. Do what you can. Then, see ya!" the boy ran off.

"W, wait!! Hey!" Andy yelled.

Back in Thailand, Joe was having matches everyday as a Muay Thai Champ for many months. One day when Joe had a day off, he visited a gym where he got trained. But, gym he visited wasn't lively as before. Joe met his old teacher.

"Good to see you. Master, what happened here? There's no action here. Wha?" Joe said in total astonishment.

"Oh, it's Joe! Long time! It's good to see a Muay Thai champ! This gym isn't like what it used to be before. They all want to be strong, but training here costs money and time. If it keeps going on like this we may have to shut down." Joe's trainer said.

"Wait, master! I'll do something about it, but don't close this gym!" Joe volunteered.

A few days later, at sunrise, Terry was in front of his father, Jeff's burial. He was here to tell his father that he is entering the tournament. Terry put a flower on the burial and heard a familiar voice behind him.

"Brother! Long time no see!"

"Andy! How are you? Oh! Joe is here too. Haven't seen you guys in a long time. I've heard about you time to time." Terry said in a softer tone.

"Yah! Terry, you haven't changed! It's good to see us three together." Joe wailed.

"Yes! And we are to meet Mary at the tournament." Terry said.

The three remembers the past and wishes to win the tournament in front of the burial.
