Fatal Fury-WARRIOR OF DARKNESS!

Egypt,7:00 PM,September 8th.

A group of arheologists were unearthing a major beneath an ancient pyramid.

They hired some major moving muscle to remove their found prize from the vacant treasure vault that was hidden behind the ancient pharoah's throne.

The two large men removed and lifted a giant casket made of gold and purest jade.

Time had darknened it's substance,but was still very valauable.

Upon the casket,a strange reading was scribed atop a medium gem was upon it.

One of the archeologists,a chief translator of ancient lanaguages studied it.

"It..."he said. "..it says..do not remove..no matter what."

"Bah..nothing to be afraid of."said Dr.Mathews,the head of the archeology team. "Now that we've removed it from whence it was buried,we can take it back to our lab in the US for further research.

Hours later,the casket was brought back to Southtown USA and at the local museum of art and sciences.

Mr.Mathews and his colleagues brought the casket into the back room where there was a vast laboratory built in.

The head scientist,Dr.Weston appraoched Mathews and the others.

"Ah,welcome back Mathews."he said adjusting his glasses. "I see you've brought the casket of the great Pharoah Rut Tanma."

"Yes,it was buried deep within some rubble after one of their last great wars,but we managed to get it back here."said Mathews.

"Most excellent."said Meijer. "Now,if you could all wheel the casket to my laser cutter system...we can begin."

The group of scientists carried the casket on a large wheel table and placed it on a long and wide operating table.

Above it,was a series of hooked up hoses with diamond tipped scalpels and other drill devices.

Meijer took one of the laser scalpels,switched on one of the scalpels and applied to the lid of the coffin.

The laser tip scorched through the sides of the lid,and sparks flew from the surface.

He trailed the laser beam along and all around the coffin lid for several minutes until he was done with the shaping.

"All right then."he said as he placed the laser needle back up on the hook.

"I think the lid's now ready to be opened. Now,if a couple of you gentlemen will be so kind as to give me a hand."

Two of Mathew's men both took a side and began to pull the cover lid off.

It easily slid off,but when they found it was lifted...all they could see was..

...Darkness.

"Eh?"said Meijer."What's this?"

"It..it looks so...pitch black."said one of the scientists.

Suddenly,a pair of red slanted eyes appeared in the blackness.

Meijer gasped loudly and fell backwards.

"Wha--what is it?"said Meijer. "What is this..thing we're looking at?"

In response,the darkness thrust outward and flied about in an expanded field of blackness,like an elongated cloud of some sort.

"GAAAAHH!"cried one of the men. "WHAT IS IT,WHAT'S IT DOING?"

The dark cloud of energy then flew down at the group of men and then lashed out a set of dark tendrils and stabbed each of the men in the chest with them.

"GACK-NO!"cried Mathews.

The tendrils then all glowed a bright red and their life forces were all drained right out of their bodies.

Once the cloud was done,Mathews and his men all fell to the floor like ninepins,they were dead.

Meijer was the only one left who saw what had happened.

"I--I must get outta here!"he said in a panic and ran for the exit.

But before he could make it,the cloud grabbed him by the back of his throat with another tendril.

"GAAAAKK--NO--LEGGO!"he cried in protest.

But the cloud gave no response and simply drained his life force away and killed him as well.

The cloud then exited from the room through an open door and then went up through an open skylight of the building.

It then flew across the night sky of the city below it.

The dark cloud observed the vast metropolis beneath it.

It had never seen such a vast and great city in it's entire existence.

It also sensed not only many essences of life force from many of the humans that were there,but there was also a greater power that he sensed in the city.

The power of...KI.

Ki essence that belonged to fighters and warriors.

The cloud in it's last form had not sensed such a power for such a very,very long time.

It would seek out the ki of these fighters,battle them and add their Ki to it's own.

Yes,it would make the world it's own once again.

The cloud then floated around the city and began to plan,to plot..to find..TO BATTLE!

While back at the local airport,Southtown's greatest hero and recent champion of the King of Fighters contests had just got back for some well deserved R&R.

Terry"The Lone Wolf" Bogard stepped off the plane,exited from the airport and caught a taxi.

The taxi dropped him off at 3rd street and he began to walk about through the streets of his childhood home.

He,along with his brother Andy,as well as others like Joe,Mai,Kim and everyone else in the KOF had seen and fought many opponents and things.

Geese,Krauser,Rugal,Yamazaki,the Jins,and the menace of Orochi itself.

But tonight,little did he or anyone else knew that they were all about to face something that was as evil and unstoppable as they all would be combined.

Terry looked to the sky,and felt something.

"Another storm..is coming?"he thought.

NEXT:THE DARK ENTITY TAKES ON A STRONG HUMAN FORM AND BEGINS TO PICK FIGHTS WITH MANY OF SOUTHTOWN'S FINEST AS WELL AS OTHERS FROM THE REST OF THE WORLD!

WILL TERRY AND CO.BE ABLE TO FIGHT THIS NEW EVIL? ALL THIS AND MORE NEXT CHAPTER!
