Blue Mary, Billy Kane
The story begins at Geese Tower, where South Town could be seen in one view. Geese stared out the window that pictured the familiar landscape, sitting deeply in his chair. Knocks interupted his meditation.
Geese Come in.
Billy Yes, sir.
Geese slowly turned towards Billy Kane, who walked in.
Billy Did you call for me, sir?
Geese pulled out an envelope from his desk and threw it to Billy.
Geese Read this.
Billy examined the content.
Billy Hmm, so there's gonna be another King of Fighters this year, I see.
Geese So it is. Though there was some 'accidents' during the finals of the last tournament, the KOF did end in success. I see the sponsors want the 'nectar' that came with the tournament again.
Billy You're entering, sir?
Geese I'm thinking of declining this time. I'm not that bored, you know.
Billy Then...
Geese I think you've figured things out by now. I want you to enter the King of Fighters in my place this year. There's a man I'm interested among the contestants...
Billy Of course, sir. I will gladly accept this offer. And, the man is? Terry Bogard?
Geese No. It's Iori Yagami. To be more accurate, I'm interested in the powers that lie within him.
The painful flashbacks sparked in Billy's mind. He barely manages to kill his burning hatred from showing.
Billy Yagami... Iori! But the power he possesses is that of the Orochi... and a very abnormal one! Why be interested in such a thing now? I though you've given up on the Orochi powers.
Geese The power he possess, it may be said it's abnormal. But the strength he showed in his lunacy last year, that surpasses the Orochi power I've been looking for! The man that openly accepts the overwhelming power of the Orochi... he might be of some use.
Billy Because of his mixed blood... I understand now. But I hope you understand the little grudge I have against that bastard. Did you have that in mind when you assigned this mission to me? If that's so... I'll kill him.
Geese Do as you like. If he dies here, that's all he was worth in the first place.
Billy Thank you sir. And who shall I team up with?
Geese's eyes gleamed at Billy.
Geese The first one is Yamazaki Ryuji. The other will be Blue Mary.
Billy Yamazaki and Blue Mary? That's kind of....
Geese I have some interests in Yamazaki, too... but you don't have to worry about him. I've told Blue Mary to do that part through a dummy company. She'll do the dirty work for you. All you have to do is concentrate on Yagami.
Billy What does Yamazaki interests you for...?
Geese Hmph, you'll see when you meet him. We know where he is now. Before you leave, ask Hopper for the details.
Billy Yes, sir. I'm on my way...
With that, Billy exited the room. Geese shifted his focus back to the window.
Geese This tournament's gonna be interesting, too...
The scene shifts to a Dojo. A man stood at the center of the building, surrounded by men in the Dogi uniforms. Billy calmly watched them from outside.
Billy (They've started already...)
At once, the men rushed towards the man at the center.
Billy (That's not good... with moves like that, they'll fall into the trap...)
Two of the men are tossed into the air.
Billy (Of the Serpent Keeper, that is...)
Painful sounds fill the room. The dogi-men are piled into a stack as the man that was at the center emerges unharmed.
Billy (Yamazaki Ryuji, eh? I still don't know what attracts Master Geese's attention to him.)
Billy Stared hard at the pimp. A man pulls himself from the pile, and jumped onto Yamazaki.
Man What is your purpose for this assault... wha!?
A grin crawled from Yamazaki's lips. A knife was drilled into the man's torso. Billy silently watched.
Billy (No matter how I look at him, he's just an abnoxious punk!)
Man That's... un... fair....
Yamazaki continued to smile with glee.
Yamazaki Unfair? Hey, we're not playing sports, ya know. I was in for a brawl from the beginning...
Yamazaki twisted the knife to drive it further into the man's body. The man moaned under his breath.
Yamazaki ....game over.
The man collapsed to the floor. Yamazaki clicked the blade back into the handle, and shoved the knife back into his jacket. He suddenly feels someone entering the Dojo.
Yamazaki Well, if it isn't one of Geese's dogs! What do you want?
Billy Seems like you had a party in here. You must be pretty bored or something.
Yamazaki I have no idea what you're talkin' about. Are you saying you wanna be like this too?
Billy Ha! Don't be joking around, chap! Me, losing to you? THAT will never happen. Wanna bet on it?
Yamazaki So you're really here to pick a fight with me?
Billy Well, just listen to me then. I'm not here for a good ol' brawl. It's business I'm here for.
Yamazaki Business? With you?
Billy You've heard about the King of Fighters. Enter it and win. That's all.
Yamazaki King of Fighters? Hmph, that fighting tournament for wimps? Not interested, pal. Go ask someone el..!?
Something tangled around Yamazaki's legs. The man, covered in his own blood, was grabbing Yamazaki. Yamazaki's face twisted into a cruel smile.
Yamazaki Hahaha.... That's... what... I... like... in... a... fight!!
A spray of blood splashed the room the next moment. Yamazaki howled with laughter, seemingly on the ferge of insanity. A cols sensation crawled down Billy's spine.
Billy (What!? A ki that I've never felt from Yamazaki before!?)
The lines of Geese ring in his head.
Geese Hmph, you'll see when you meet him....
Billy (Now I see...)
Yamazaki How much is it.
Billy was caught off guard by Yamazaki's sudden reply.
Billy Huh?
Yamazaki How much is this job of yours? I've changed my mind... I'll enter the KOF!
Billy Double the amount of the prize money.
Yamazaki You've got a deal. Just don't forget it...
Yamazaki leaves the Dojo. A woman entered the room as Billy stood in thoughts.
Mary Sound like fun. Mind if I join?
Billy You. What are you up to?
Mary Nothing... just had my net out to see if I could kill time...
Billy And we got caught in that net, I see?
Mary That's right.
Billy Hmph, why not. Now there's three, and we can be eligible for the entry anyway. Do as you please...
Billy walked towards the doorway. Mary whispered into his ear as he walked passed her.
Mary Thanks. I'll do that.
As Billy came to the streets, a car stopped in front of him. The door opened, and Billy slid into the car. Sitting on the velvet rear seat, Billy closed his eyes.
Billy Hmph, all is going well. I can't believe this... I'm getting excited! Wait for me, Yagami. I'll get you, no matter what!
Back at the Dojo. Mary stared at the pile of men.
Mary Quite impressive... any how, I've made contact with the target. But something's strange about this assignment. I think I should check out the client before Yamazaki...
Ryuji Yamazaki | 97 | 98 | 99 | 00 |

Story Progression | 97 | 98 |

First Intermission
Announcer Satella News Network! The team has been decided for the 4th match! Let's give them a big cheer! Now, let the carnage begin! The next competitor! Match 4 begins!

Second Intermission
Iori A victory ceremony? What a bunch of nonsense! Wah! What...!? It looks like Orochi is mixed up in this contest. Gyah! My blood boils! Don't mess with me, Orochi! You can't conquer me! Gggggyaaaaaaah!
Announcer Congratulations, victors! Now for the next match!
Billy It's Yagami! Prepare yourself for payback time, filth!
Mary He looks strange! I think he's possessed!
Yamazaki Hey, this looks like it could be a blast!
Iori Goooaaaaah!

Defeat of Orochi Iori
Billy Ah, another corpse. But Yagami was nuts!
Yamazaki, Mary, Billy Yikes!
Yashiro The Orochi Blood Riot!?
Mary What?
Yashiro An interesting performance for a sideshow.
Billy Who said that?
Yashiro Does the name 'Orochi' ring a bell?
Billy Did you say... Orochi!? You're Orochi?
Yashiro Surprised? It's to be expected!
Billy What are you scheming?
Yashiro Us? Scheming? You've done it all for us!
Billy Us? What are you talking about?
Yashiro The Orochi awakening. It's Goenitz's success! To energize the awakening, we needed your energy.
Mary Our energy?
Yashiro You got it! And the place to increase power in such a short time was our job, but it was a breeze.
Shermie A place where the mighty clash! I think you get the picture!
Mary I got it! These guys! They used the King of Fighters for their vile purposes!
Billy Say what!?
Yashiro You fought frantically and, thanks to you, the Orochi received enough energy to awake!
Shermie We just livened things up. Good idea, don't you think?
Yashiro And there's more Orochi! Ryuji Yamazaki! Come on down!
Billy So that's why Geese had me work with Yamazaki!
Yashiro And it went so easily! But we need a bit more, so we're gonna kick your butts! How about it, Yamazaki? Care to join us and rule?
Yamazaki Hmm. Tempting.
Billy Yamazaki! Why you...!
Yamazaki But I'll pass. Now, if you'd've said 'please.'
Yashiro As I thought. I wasn't expecting it anyway. You'll never change, Ryuji. Always the Orochi disgrace!

Defeat of Orochi New Faces Team
Yashiro Hah! Forget not your mission. Yamazaki, you idiot!
Yamazaki, Mary, Billy Ah!
Shermie It won't be long!
Billy No way! You...!?
Chris The time is here. Those who can't hack it are headed for a long sleep!
Billy Who's this clown?
Chris O... ro... chi!
Yashiro Now, we fulfill Orochi's will!
Yamazaki I don't know why, but my blood's boiling!
Billy Oh, shut up. You won't get away with this. Do you hear me, Yashiro? Just get a grip here!
Orochi You fleas can't beat me! I know your thoughts; know what you'll do. Your weapons are useless and Geese can't use my power!
Billy Whoa! You can read our minds...?
Orochi What little there is, I know what all humans think. Nothing's changed in 1800 years. You can't be saved. Now all returns to 'nothing.'
Billy I'm gonna crush you, you sick megalomaniac.
Yamazaki Hyah, hah, hah! Me, too. I'll kill you!

Defeat of Orochi
Orochi Ignorant mortals! All these 1800 years, why struggle against me? Continue this way of living and you'll destroy yourselves?
Billy Oh, drop dead!
Orochi Hmph...
Yamazaki, Mary, Billy Ah!
Billy What's this?
Yamazaki, Mary, Billy Whaaaa!
Mary W, where are we?
Orochi Nowhere...
Billy Huh!? You mean?
Orochi Not that. I return to my sleep. For now, the dimensions bend. For ten, a hundred years, you have a chance. I look forward to it.
Yamazaki Stop hiding! Show yourself!
Yamazaki, Mary, Billy Huh!
Billy W, what's this? Is it over?
Mary Perhaps...
Billy Yamazaki! Where are you going!?

Mary Yamazaki's Location: Unknown. But I'll get vengence. He may be in Hong Kong but no clues remain. Regarding my new client searched during the contest. This client is part of Geese's massive organization. Dupe by the Geester, I've lost completely.
Geese A job well done...
Billy Yagami's lost. But Yamazaki remains. He's Orochi, that's sure.
Geese I used Mary, too. But losing her was a mistake. What? Who...? You got guts coming here! What do you want?
Yamazaki You know what! My pay!
