I'll start from the Tekken side so for KOF fans, bear with me. Be there with you shortly.

Prologue 1: Lili, Asuka, and Who? Part 1

It's a sunny day in Osaka. Asuka had just finished cleaning up the dojo after concluding a training session half an hour ago. She didn't work herself too much as an instructor apart from a sparring session with juniors from her high school who requested her assistance for the upcoming inter-high Aikido competition (the Kazama-style is an Aikido-based fighting style as seen from the reversal techniques and Asuka's stance). Asuka herself was a former star in the scene, breaking into the nationals in her first year and winning it the next year before her life turned on her heels. The juniors that had requested her assistance even wanted her to become a coach next year as she's now an alumni. But she turned down the offer to focus on the dojo.

Dojo cleanup done, she turns her attention to her phone, texting to a friend. This friend of hers is expected to arrive at dojo (when I say dojo, it's actually a house too. It's the Kazama residence. Dojo downstairs, living space upstairs) about an hour later. She then gets herself cleaned up and change her clothes to a casual one. Then the phone rings with a new message popping up on the screen. It's from the same friend she had texted earlier. Then she decides to call her, partly because she's been pretty slow on replying messages from everyone.

"Hey, Asuka. I've just touched down. You're not picking me up?"

"No way. I don't drive and I only have a bike here. Go take a taxi. I'll be expecting you back here. Where's Sebastian?"

"He's on a leave, he needs a vacation. So no pickup for this mademoiselle? Alright alright. You're probably busy with the dojo right now too. See you soon."

"Yeah, see you."

Just like that, the conversation ended. Then Asuka sets about checking the room next to hers. It's a simplistic yet tidy room. A single bed, a desk, a closet, an air conditioner, and a makeup desk. Most importantly it's all cleaned up for the friend she's expecting.

To think that she's having someone other than his dad (who by the way is still in the hospital, yet to be released but he's getting there) live under the same roof as her is still something of a sick trick to a point. Emilie de Rochefort and her annoying antics reached a new level that Asuka thought shouldn't be possible. Losing a fight to someone equals moving in with the person who beat her? It's really a new level altogether. Asuka thinks perhaps she shouldn't look at it so much as a new level of annoying but instead thinks about it as a completely new experience. Her father gave the permission to allow Lili to stay in the house because no one else could.

One hour later, someone is knocking on the door on the side of the residence (place has two entrances obviously. One for the dojo alone, one for the house). Lili has arrived. Asuka opens the door, looking at a rather modestly-dressed Lili and four suitcases. Asuka knows that she's in for a lot of work. Fortunately she used up the one hour gap to rest a bit.

"Ah, Lili. Been expecting you. Come on in."

Lili gives Asuka a hug. She had missed her over the course of her sudden return to France in the past two weeks or so.

"I miss you too. Kind of."

"Kind of? Come on, you know you greatly miss me. Anyway, help me bring these in. I also have something interesting to talk about."

"First things first alright? Your room is all cleaned up and ready. How's the flight?"

"Well, it's the first time I've been going back and forth in a commercial airline, it's actually not bad at all. Maybe because it's an international flight that the service was what you'd call 'top-notch'. Food was great, too."

"I see. Now, these four cases. Where do I put them?"

"Just put them in my room, please. I'll unpack on my own."

"Oh, so you've decided to become independent?"

"Please, Asuka. I've always been independent. I just don't show it when it comes to simple chores and stuff."

Asuka then moves the cases one at a time upstairs, placing them in Lili's room. She wonders what's in the cases. Then again, it's probably just tons of clothes and cosmetics. Asuka returns downstairs to see Lili looking at a small garden that was restored after Lili visited the place for the first time.

"Want some tea?"

"Yeah, sure. By the way, I see why you like this garden so much." Lili replies as she's sitting down on the mat, resting her arms on the table. She's obviously tired after the long flight.

"Soothing, huh? When this place was dismantled, it made me uneasy at times. It's like having a part of me taken away. I spent more time studying here than in my own room. You can also say this contributes to my calm nature."

"Haha, please. It's not like you have the right to be mad at all times. The calmness is getting into me though."

Lili then takes a sip of the tea.

"What's this interesting thing you wanna talk about?" Asuka asked seriously.

Lili then reaches her purse and opens it, pulling out a letter with a wax seal labeled "R" on it.

"An invitation for something. The woman who gave it to me told me to open it only when I'm with a friend."

"Then please do. This looks fancy, I've never seen something like it."

"This is how they send letters back in the day. Glad to see it still holds up."

Lili then unseals the letter carefully to avoid breaking it. It says "You have been invited to participate in the upcoming The King of Fighters tournament. Please form a team of three. Should you be willing to participate, please come to Antonov-Bernstein Superdome with your team to perform registration next month. Bring this invitation when registering."

They both look at each other in awe, knowing this is something big.

"The King of Fighters tournament? Isn't that the widely broadcasted three-on-three fighting tournament that has been held a lot recently?" Asuka jumped, not knowing if she should be excited or surprised that someone sent Lili an invitation.

"It is. I was surprised too. To think they're still finding new contestants after so many of them became recurring participants over the years."

"So what? This is for the main tournament or a preliminary?"

"The main tournament, it's their way of saying 'you are in'."

"Interesting. However, it says form a team of three. There's only the two of us. So who's the third member?"

"You have any ideas?" Lili returned the question.

"Hmmmm I befriended some of our fellow combatants, mostly girls though, over the past two editions of The King of Iron Fist tournament. Let's start there. You have any suggestions, Lili?"

"I'll try contacting Leo. But in the meantime, I'd like to ask the woman that passed me this invitation. Elisabeth Blanctorche is her name."

"Don't know her. I'll contact a guy instead. Maybe Hwoarang wants to join us." Asuka answered as she reaches for her phone.

"He's pretty cute but I'll pass. Guy's got a complicated sitch with your cousin Jin. Not to mention he's still getting used to playing stereotypical pirate on a motorcycle. I'd try Lars but he's probably forming a team with Lee and Alisa."

"Oh so you're not the only one given the invitation?"

"Most likely not. This Elisabeth woman told me that they distributed the invitation to a lot of our fellow combatants. Must be desperate for extra money since The King of Fighters tournaments constantly gain interests all over the world, much more so than The King of Iron Fist tournaments ever going to be. So this should be interesting. Our meeting back then was brief too so this is a good reason to contact her. Why don't you contact Leo instead? I'll give you her (or his) number. Try that Jin fangirl Xiaoyu too while you're at it. And before you think about it, no Sebastian!"

"Seriously, who made you my boss? But I guess I have to repay you somehow for fixing my place."

And so both Lili and Asuka go about enquiring some people regarding the invitation they just got. Lili calls Elisabeth and Asuka tries to contact both Leo and Xiaoyu. They know they are in for something big. Question is, will they get a third member? What does Elisabeth have to say to Lili?

That concludes the very first prologue of this crossover series. I started with Lili and Asuka because I was intrigued with Asuka's Tekken 7 ending with Lili decided to move in with her and stuff.

If you guys have any suggestions regarding which Tekken characters should team up with who, feel free to let me know. Crossover teams? That's alright too. So please leave your suggestions.
