"Rebellion"
 At midnight, in a laboratory-like facility, three shadows were moving.
 It looked like there were 3 people entering the darkness.

"Shit, There's nobody here." said the man with the crimson glove.
"We were one step late." said a woman with a whip.

"There is no end. Let's see.. let's look around. Looks like there aren't any dangerous materials around." said a sturdy man.

The three were really impatient and irritated.
The sturdy man took a deep breath, obviously troubled. "Whip, it's not that we don't trust you, but why did you let them move first?"

"I dunno, Maxima. But, the information I had isn't the newest. So, being late, we can't do anything." she replied.
"Your information is correct. But-- yo, K'! This time there is too many puzzles."

K' wore an irritated expression. "What are you talking about, Maxima."

Maxima was yelling, "Another KOF tournament is held... every year, there's nothing odd to it. But, this time-- did you see the list of the teams? A NEST team! NEST team! Think.  Why are they using the name 'NEST' so openly!"
"The NEST name is only known to some part of people with authority. Finally feels like a real battle. However--" Whip thought.
"After destroying a city, why are they coming out of secrecy? Is it for the world to know who they are? I think staying in secrecy is a better choice for them." Maxima shook his head.

K' was facing the opposite direction of his companions. "Thinking about it won't do a thing. Let's go."

As soon as K' spoke, Maxima stopped him.

"Maxima, did you see that?" K' muttered.
"Yes, I saw it. I don't know why it's hiding itself, but I can see it with the Temp. Detector." Maxima said quietly.

As Maxima said this, the shadow moved again.

"Wh, why is that thing so fast!" Whip yelled.

The shadow scurried past Maxima, and suddenly stopped in front of K'. The shadow suddenly threw a punch at K', who also swung his red gloved hand at him.

But, K's fist didn't collide with the shadow's fist. K' stopped at the sight of his younger sister standing in front of him. It is at that time, K' noticed the shadow's fist was stopped by the Whip.

K' looked disgustedly at Whip. "Fuck, what did you do that for!" K' scolded.
Whip looked sternly at K', who was still scowling. "Sorry, K', but fighting without any meaning is best to be avoided. Now, let's listen to what the shadow has to say."

In the dark facility, the three tied the shadow to a chair.

The shadow was revealed to be a man in a dark suit with faded hair.

Whip looked at the shadow. "That's enough. Lin, why were you following us? What is your mission?"

Whip pulled out a photo. Lin trembled at the sight of it.
Whip continued to interrogate Lin. "So, you think you'll meet him if you follow us?"

Lin looked at Whip in a cold silence.

Whip shook her head. "He doesn't talk much, does he? How about it, K'? Let's put Lin in our team for the tournament?"

"...whatever." K' had not even paid attention to what was going on.

Maxima looked around, shocked. "Hey! Hey, K', Whip, are you sure about this? I mean, he might try to kill us while we're asleep!"
Maxima turned his back to Lin and faced towards K' and Whip.

Whip tugged at her whip. "Small things like that that doesn't matter to us."

"Shit, I don't like this guy. Oh well, if K' and you say it's okay, I don't mind. So let's shake on it and to accept you as our teammate."
Maxima turned around, towards Lin, but he had vanished.

"Man, what kind of guy is this? He doesn't even know how to say 'hi' or 'bye'?" Maxima continued to bellow.
"That's okay, Maxima. If Lin becomes our teammate in the tournament, it becomes easier, right K'?" Whip turned to her brother.

Without a word, K' left.
K' looked to the night alone. He could see all the stars in the sky glimmering.

Softly, he muttered. "My past and my future... were taken away by NEST. Parasites of my power...  Krizalid, Zero, and Kula, the power that is supposedly opposite of me."

Whip and Maxima looked at K' with concern.

"I think K's in some deep thinking, Whip." Maxima said.
Whip didn't take her eyes off K'. "Yes. But, whatever we say... we have to finish them off-- for the people who died."
"Yeah, NEST has to be destroyed!" Maxima agreed strongly.
"That's right." Whip answered.

The two looked up at the night sky... thousands of stars fell among the three.
