Leona Heidern | 96 | 97 | 98 | 99 | 00 | 01 |
Leona has a very blurry past, and a even more bleak future. She is very quiet and has a very cold attitude and does not talk to anyone outside of the Ikari Warriors. She seems fearless from the outside, but she's always afraid that she may cause harm to her friends because of her Orochi blood. Leona hates the sight of blood. She feels lonely though she knows her comrades are always behind her. (read bio)

Ralf Jones | 94 | 95 | 96 | 97 | 98 | 99 | 00 | 01 |
Ralf Jones, along with his lifetime friend, Clark Steel, have passed through so many missions that most mercenaries would be happy if they could accomplish even half of what the duo has done. Ralf is sort of cocky, unlike his serious partner, but he is aware of his responsibility and will do anything to get the mission done. He cares a lot for Leona, but doesn't want it to be revealed.

Clark Steel | 94 | 95 | 96 | 97 | 98 | 99 | 00 | 01 |
Clark is part of the Ikari Warriors mercenary agency. He is closest with Ralf since they have been through several missions together and they both know how the other thinks Clark is very quiet and doesn't show too much emotion in his cold face with his melancolic eyes hidden by shades. It is hard for him to relate with others and he is not good with sentimental words, but inside Clark is warm guy. (read bio)

Win Quote My battle experience shows! So you just can't beat me.
Win Quote Even a fool fights armed! Take me: fists and a gun!
Win Quote Hate the sight of blood? Then get out of the battle biz!

Win Quote Hero Team What a bunch of hooligans. But all your hubaloo is over!
Win Quote NESTS Team Your deeds are but evil! I want you to know that!

Heidern | 94 | 95 | 98 | 01 |
Inside Heidern's cool exterior is a man full of guilt and haunt. This strict commander hides a very dark past, all thanks to Rugal, a cruel and evil man that reduced his life to shambles in a blink of an eye. Following Rugal's death, Heidern declined all future invitations to the King of Fighters tournament until the surfacing of the NESTS Cartel when he took Whip's place on the Ikari squad. (read bio)

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

First Intermission
NESTS Things are really jumping. This's why I just love KOF. Everything's going as planned. Summon him!
Zero Looks like I'll have to give them a taste of my real power

Second Intermission
Zero The victors are airborne as planned.
Heidern An aerial victory ceremony? Just what's NESTS brewing up?
Ralf Something's wack here!
Clark Speaking of wack!

Zero I've been waiting for you, King of Fighters champions. Heidern, thank you for your kindness to my dear clones. Whatever. Now you'll know the true power of Zero!

Defeat of Zero
Zero You even beat blank, Heidern... Well, we have arrived. My duty ends here. Now, Heidern... Meet he whom you so doggedly seek unless you all wish to perish with this ship.
Foxy It looks like things... are just getting started.
K9999 No. It's the end of the line.
Foxy !!
Kula Foxy!
Foxy K, Kula...
Angel We already have the mightiest fighters, so buzz off, creep!
K9999 Failures like you and K'? Your days are finished!
Kula You'll pay for this... You'll pay big for this!
K9999 What can you biological defect hope to do by yourself?
Kula ...
K' Uh, biological defects...

Ralf That scorched my shorties!
Clark But where are we now?
Igniz Welcome, foes of NESTS.
Leona Huh!? What!?
Ralf Who are you?
Igniz Welcome, Heidern. I'm Igniz, CEO of NESTS, soon-to-be god!
Heidern So you're it? NESTS's boss!?
Igniz Krizalid, Kula, K9999... and who could forget K'? The role of my guinea pigs has come to an end, one of whom is in your ranks. How fares she?
Heidern What? Can it be?
Ralf The dominatrix? NESTS's?
Igniz And your use for NESTS too. NESTS, this world, humans... all mean nothing to me now. From hereon a new god will rule over creation.
Clark W, what!?
Igniz Heidern! NESTS was my means for me to create a new world! When this satellite descends to Earth, a new god shall be born and you victors of KOF will make me a god with your power. So, Heidern! Offer yourselves to defeat and a new god's advent!

Defeat of Igniz
Igniz Arrgh. Is this the end... of lovable Igniz? Why!?
Leona You're no warrior... You qualify as a spectator...
Igniz Insolence! Silence! Are you saying I'm not worthy to become a god?
Ralf Hey! What've you done!?

Igniz If these humans do not desire the advent of a new god... I shall become a demon! All shall return to nothing!
Leona He's going to blow us up!
Ralf Stop, you crazy megalomaniac!
Misty Can you do it?
Ron Yes, I believe so...
Heidern Ralf? Status report!
Ralf Yes, sir! All operational.
Clark We're lucky to be alive, sir.
Ralf Can it, Clark! Don't jinx us!

Heidern Luckily, NESTS's HQ didn't blow up and still is intact... For the countries in its thrall, NEST's all was good news. NESTS's HQ disappearance quickly ended the organization. A threat to world peace squashed, the NESTS case closed.
Ralf Right after NESTS... another mission?
Clark Heidern's a slave driver, eh?
Leona Hmm. A letter from Heidern.
Ralf Say what? Hmph. The silly sadist doesn't even tell us where he is...
Leona ...Oh, you love it.
Clark Well, it is all worth it.
Ralf Yup. We're in for war! Keep up the fight! You dominatrix you!
