Airport
6 months ago Rugal announced the annual King Of Fighters tournament this year on a private island owned by Rugal himself. Contestants would come in teams of 3 making their way through the tournament until they would ultimately fight Rugal himself as always before. This year weapons were strictly not allowed under threat of expulsion so that only true fighters would compete, but contestants were still allowed to use any of their own skill and powers they might possess.
Ryu Hayabusa had just arrived at the airport waiting for his private escort for the fighters island tournament. Due to the rules of tournament he had come completely unarmed knowing in full that he would be up against some very powerful opponents but luckily he had his dragon ninja powers and discipline to put him on par with the other fighters. He had never competed in a King Of Fighters tournament before but he was a longtime friend of Kyo Kusanagi who had competed many times before and could not make it to this tournament. He had hoped that they could compete together just as they have many times before growing up in the Kusanagi and Hyabusa clans but this time Ryu was alone. He could have called upon Kasumi and Ayane to be his teammates but Ryu would not involve his friends in a personal quest and he did not want to risk them harm as they were later to compete in a Dead or Alive tournament of their own.
As he waited for his escort his eye caught a mysterious passenger making his way to a helicopter. Realising this was Rugal who Ryu planned to defeat he made his way through for a further look but all he could make out was that outline of a strong and powerful man. Ryu knew of Rugal's alliance with his enemy Genshin and knew that destroying Rugal would deal a great blow to the black spider clan. "We're on our way" he heard as he looked to the right and noticed what appeared to be his two secrateries, however Ryu could tell there was more to them then just two typists.
The first was a tall woman dressed in red and black with short brown hair who was carrying an enormous amount of luggage. Ryu was amazed at this woman that even though she looked of average female stature her strength must have been that of 5 men. "Well Mature what are you waiting for" she said.
"Hold on Vice I'll be a minute, or ten" replied her companion, a blonde woman that reminded him of his friend Rachel, in a suit who sat there painting her long fingernails an electrical blue color. Ryu was intrigued by this woman for beautiful as she was, perhaps she to might be as strong as her friend although she didn't look like a fighter. As Ryu continued waiting to be picked up he was glanced over his shoulder when he heard the ladies talking.
"I'm on my way Vice" said Mature.
"It wouldn't hurt you to take your own suitcases next time" replied Vice. "Or is princess scared to break a nail"?
"Haha, you know perfectly well that these nails don't break" replied Mature looking at her elegant nails as though they were a work of art, as both women made their way to the helicopter.
Shortly Ryu's escort arrived and he was on his way to the island to take down Rugal and any competition he would encounter.
