Kim Kaphwan | 94 | 95 | 96 | 97 | 98 | 99 | 00 | 01 |
Ever the evangelist, Kim welcomed the opportunity to show the world justice and the King of Fighters was the perfect opportunity for international display! The problem was how to show everyone justice, especially when Kim lacked the teammates to enter. It then dawned upon him after hearing of the escape of two famous Korean criminals... Kim would reform the pair of prisoners to show the world justice! (read bio)

Chang Koehan | 94 | 95 | 96 | 97 | 98 | 99 | 00 | 01 |
Originally jailed for the damage of private and public property, Chang broke free from prison by breaking down the brick walls using his sheer strength and brute force alone. However, his freedom was short lived as he ran into Kim Kapwhan who forcefully convinced Chang to join him in his quest for justice. Now paired with Choi Bounge, the two secretly plot how to rid themselves of Kim. (read bio)

Choi Bounge | 94 | 95 | 96 | 97 | 98 | 99 | 00 | 01 |
A butcher in a small Korean town, Choi has always been fascinated by sharp and shiny objects. One of his favorite past times was to run around, cutting people with his home made claws. This hobby led him to be locked up in prison by the Korean police. Unwillingly recruited by Kim Kaphwan in his quest, Choi is forced to follow the self proclaimed champion of justice until he is fully reformed. (read bio)

Jhun Hoon | 99 | 00 |
Jhun Hoon trained with Kim Kapwhan in the same martial art, but each developed their own technique and their own ideal of justice. While Kim trusted people and aided them when in need, Jhun supported the idea of strict discipline. After completing their training, each one goes their own way to see who was right. Years later, Jhun returns to find Kim futily reforming Chang and Choi. He joins them to show Kim how it's really done! (read bio)

Story Progression | 94 | 95 | 96 | 97 | 98 | 99 | 00 | 01 |

Invasion of Kula
Diana All systems go. Kula, you may begin. Smash Zero's plans.

Defeat of Kula
Operator System restored.
Ling What was the cause?
Operator System appears to have been hacked. Only the image bank is intact.
Ling So... that's the Anti-K'.
Operator Huh...?
Ling Nothing... just mumbling.

First Intermission
The Finals Team. Southtown Factory Area. Target: K', Southtown.
Heidern They're too far from the target. Things aren't going as they were planned.
Ling It's no big deal.
Heidern What do you mean, Ling?
Ling I mean, I've forseen this.
Heidern Forseen what? What're you babbling about?
Ling Guide the Finals Team to the lift, will you? When you've done that, activate the generator.

Heidern Lift? Generator? No one told me about this!
Ling I'm in charge here, you've no need to know. When the generator's charged and "Zero Cannon" is in the sky, my mission will be realized.
Heidern Did you say... Zero Cannon...!? A space-based weapon... Whatever for!? The purpose of holding KOF was to capture K' and Maxima and search NESTS' base!
Ling Yes, officially...
Heidern Officially? ...! What foul plan is festering in your diseased mind?
Ling As far as Project '00 Goes, you're nothing but an observer. While I... I am its executioner!

Second Intermission
Kim Saying it's over...
Jhun ...would be too soon.
Chang We've got company.
Ling It's the beginning of an unforgettable event.
Kim A ceiling...!?
Choi When did we get down here?
Ling Greetings." Chang Who are you?!

Heidern State your name, villain!
Ling, Zero They call me... Zero!
Heidern Zero, eh...? It fits you.
Zero Oh, you're such a joker. You know, we've met before, that is, I've met you.
Heidern Now I know, it was you who slew Krizalid, right? What have you done with Ling?
Zero He's resting.
Heidern You impersonated him, eh?
Zero I'm a master of disguise. So, I masqueraded as Ling. Later, Ling's clone there took over. Neutralizing all of you obstacles was the fastest way to realize my plan.
Heidern So what's KOF got to do with all of this?
Zero It was my way to obtain... The Zero Cannon!
Heidern Stupid! All you had to do was rub us out.

Zero You simp! I need all of you for Zero Cannon's power.
Jhun Our energy...?!
Choi What's this Zero Cannon?
Zero An aerial weapon to destroy NESTS... with all your help.
Chang Stop yanking our chains!
Jhun We'll never help you! !!!
Kim You foul FIEND! You'll rue your evil!
Zero You can't resist me. I'll beat you all like a drum. Then your energy will be sent to Zero Cannon.
Choi And how will you 'transmit' our energy?
Zero There is a generator below. Whenever I fight someone... it siphons my foe's energy and sends it to Zero Cannon. And I'll use your power to begin the new order!
Jhun You'll use us to conquer the world?...
Kim So that's NESTS's scheme!
Zero NESTS? A mere front. The creator of the new order is not NESTS. It's ME!
Kim You impudent wretch!! I'll beat YOU like a drum and stop the Zero Cannon!
Zero Crush me? Stop the cannon? Give it a shot. If you DARE!!!

Defeat of Zero
Zero You lose.
Kim Lost? What do you mean?
Zero When I press this button, all your energy goes to the cannon.
Jhun You'll never get away with it!
Zero Even with my death, you haven't got a prayer. Why do you think I handed over the clone to Heidern?! Farewell, you fools! Disintegrate in the light of a brand new world! Curses! What is this...?

Zero GOOOAAAAAH...!! ...a malfunction?! What's going on!?
Foxy Enough merriment!
Zero It's all of you...!?
Foxy You're busted! Accept it! NESTS will not be defeated by the likes of you.

Chang That was one close call, eh.
Choi You said it! I thought we we're goners for sure!
Chang Eh...?
Choi ...Huh?
Chang, Choi !!!
Choi What am I doing in Chang's body?
Chang And I'm you, shrimp!!!
Kim Then that means... What, exactly?...
Jhun What are we gonna do?!
Kim Zero Cannon did this, so we must find someone from NESTS.
Jhun I don't think that they'll be too helpful...
Chang, Choi ...
