IKARI PROLOGUE STORY

1635 hours, Territorial Waters of a Certain Country A briefing was underway in the room of an aircraft carrier from Heidern's fleet.

"...and this is our current mission."

An envelope was placed before Ralf, Clark, Leona, and Whip, and Ralf began inspecting its contents.

"These are KOF invitations, aren't they? It's been a really long time. Since it's a mission for us, that means that the current organizer must have something going on behind the scenes, right?" "No, we did a background check, but there's nothing particularly suspicious about him." "Then why do we have to participate?" "The organizer being 'clean' doesn't eliminate the chance that a problem will arise, Colonel." "Vigilance is required as all times."

After watching Ralf fold his arms for lack of a comeback to Clark and Leona's calm criticisms, Heidern began to move forward with the briefing.

"Exactly. Now, take a look over the materials there. It's been a while since gravitational waves were observed, but distortions in spacetime have been reported in recent research results. This is quite similar to what happened before the final round of the last tournament. Though recently the connections between NESTS technologies and terrorist groups has been seen as quite the problem, their activities began increasing during exactly the same time period." "I see... So based on the results observed, there's a chance of some kind of problem at this tournament." "Yes, but since the previous tournament ended, surprisingly, without any problems, we can't actually prove that KOF and this phenomenon are related. Just infiltrate as usual." "Yes, sir!!!"

After the briefing was concluded, Ralf collected some of the papers and tossed them toward Whip.

"Hey, Whippy! You're still in touch with that ice girl, right? After gathering info on those documents, make sure to report to that loner kid too. It looks like some opponents he has a history with will be there. But tell him that if he's scared, he can just hide in bed and shake until it's over!" "Again!? You just called me Whippy again! And why do you need to taunt him so much? He'll just end up hating you!" "He's actually expressing concern when he says that. Despite what he actually says, the Colonel only sees the best in people. He does have a dirty mouth, though." "It's not just his mouth... He looks dirty, too."

Whip's eyes lit up, as if something in Clark and Leona's conversation had given her a good idea.

"So basically, he's the Colonel of cold-shoulders! I just got a great idea...!! I'm going to call you Colonel Cold-shoulder until you call me Whip. " "You littles punks!!"

The ship turned toward the KOF arena, carrying Ralf as he roared in anger at his subordinates, who were still engaged in a lively conversation.
