Disclaimer: The King of Fighters and Rune Soldier Louie do not belong to me. SNK owns King of Fighters and Rune Soldier Louie is owned by ADV Films and Ryou Mizuno. I'm just doing this for fun so don't sue me.

Note: I would like to thank the authors who inspired me to write this story. Anime Addiction, Eternal Freedom, Gerao-A, and Mslcat. It's thanks to all of you and many authors that I'm giving this a shot .I have a goal in life to become a novelist, and make video games, anime, and manga. Anyway this story takes place at the final battle of King of Fighters 97 and it deals with the beginning of Rune Soldier Louie. Only it will be one year before Louie meets up with Melissa and co. Also there will be some slight OOC with a few characters.

Chapter 1

Unexpected Destiny

Terry Bogard and his friends were rushing to help save the world from the resurrected Orochi by adding Kyo Kusanagi, Iori Yagami, and Chizuru Kagura. With Terry was his younger brother Andy Bogard, his friend Joe Higashi and Andy's fiancée Mai Shiranui. Behind them were the Art of Fighting team, the Korean team, The Ikari Warriors, except Leona due to the Riot of Blood, and several other people. Surprisingly one of them was Billy Kane. They arrived just in time to see the three of them deliver the final blow.

Orochi was fuming with rage at being defeated he figured that if he were to be sealed again he would not go alone. With the last of his strength he shot an energy blast at Kyo. Kyo saw this and flipped over the beam, but then saw it was heading toward Blue Mary, one of Terry's friends who wanted to be Terry's lover, was about to be caught in the blast but that was when Terry pushed her aside and took the attack.

"TERRY!"Mary could not be leave what was happening. Chizuru quickly began speaking an incantation to remove what the Orochi had done. That was when the Orochi decided to take control of Iori and make him kill the Yata Priestess. Iori began coughing up blood and began to go into a seizure. Kyo notice this and went to stop him but was too late.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHH!"

Everyone prepared to fight Iori since he was in the Riot of Blood. But that was when something unexpected happened. Instead of Iori going after Kyo, he leaps at the Orochi and began strangling him. Iori managed to keep himself under control and managed to speak to Kyo. "Get...him...now...Kyo!"

Kyo understanding Iori's request went up and nailed the Orochi with his strongest technique. "OROCHI NAGI!"

While this was going on Chizuru was close to finishing her spell to save Terry, but before she could, Kyo's attack, plus the energy's of the Orochi cause a backlash of energy and wound up opening a vortex. This caused the nearest person, which was Terry, to be sucked in.

"TERRY!" His brother shouted and he and everyone could only watch helplessly as it quickly sealed it-self up.

A Few Hours later...

Terry awoke to the sound of birds chirping. This was weird considering he was in a temple before. He quickly got up and checked his surroundings. He noticed he was in a forest and realized that he was not in the temple were the battle had taken place.

"Were the hell am I?" It was then Terry realized that he was alone. Wanting to make sure he was wrong he began calling out to his friends and family.

"Andy! Mai! Joe! Mary! Kim! Kyo! Chizuru! Ryo! Anybody?!"

Terry began to look around and then after a while he could not find anyone.

He thought back and realized that the Orochi must have caused him to be sent to this unknown area. Now the big question was...where was he?

To Be Continued...

Whew. That was a tough one since this is my first story. I hope this was a good way to begin things for this. I had a different beginning but I think it would have been boring. Well that takes care of Chapter one. In the next chapter Terry will travel around the world of Rune Soldier and eventually meet up with everyone's favorite loveable goof ball Louie. What will happen? Well who knows? Maybe Louie will ask to become Terry's student. Please let me know if I misspelled some words.

Later.
