Scene 1: 99 Choi Balloons
All was a fair winter's day in South Town. The citizens were busy with their lives, and peace seemed to echo throughout the area since the King of Fighter participants saved the world from Orochi several months ago.
Our saga of stories continues along the sidewalks of the park district, where Kim, May Lee, Chang, and Choi were taking a walk…
"Psst…hey buddy-boy, why haven't we killed this crazy Kim person and be free of his rehabilitation program yet?" Choi whispers as he looks up to Chang.
"Because we'd probably be in jail if it weren't for him. We owe him our lives," he responds to Choi. "Besides, being all good and not evil is what gets the girls, right May?" Chang then says to her, giving her a creepy smile.
"Ew…like you're never wrong…" she responds with a gag.
The group suddenly stops when Kim spots something in the distance.
"Look, balloons! Let's go buy some. I'm sure you kids would love one, wouldn't you?" Kim said with a beaming smile as he rushed off to the merchant selling them.
Kim's disciples stood and stared at one another.
"…His everlasting youthful energy perplexes me…" Chang says while scratching his beard.
Upon reaching the balloon cart with Kim, they find the operator of the stand to be none of than…you guessed it: Shingo.
"Heya, Shingo, we'll take all the balloons you got. I got some change to spare after all," Kim says, pulling out his wallet from his gi's pocket.
"Um…why are you selling balloons in the middle of winter?" May Lee asks, raising an eyebrow.
"Well…" Shingo says, gathering dozens of balloons on Kim's request, "…Since my Hot Dog and Ice Cream jobs failed in the past, I figured I try something else. Well, it was either get a job and make money or Kyo-san would kick me out of our apartment…" Shingo says with a nervous laugh.
After Kim pays for the ninety-nine balloons he bought altogether, Shingo hands them to Choi to hold.
"Um…okay," Choi responds, taking the multitude of balloons by the strings.
As everyone else began to chat amongst each other, no one paid attention that Choi began to float off of the ground due to the balloons making an already small-framed man even lighter.
And, within minutes…
"…H-hey, where's Choi at?" May Lee inquires, looking around the area.
Everyone stops and realizes that the little midget had disappeared.
That's when they heard a cry from above.
"AAACK! GET MW DOWN!" yelled Choi, who was now several meters above the park.
"What the? Hey, Balloon-Guy, go and get my friend down right now!" Chang tells Shingo, grabbing him by the collar.
"B-but I don't know how to get him down!" Shingo pleads to the towering giant of a man.
"Then I'm gonna smash you good!" Chang responds, pulling out his ball and chain from behind him.
"EEP! HELP ME KYO-SAN!" Shingo yells, slipping away from Chang and taking off screaming in the other direction.
"GET BACK HERE AND SAVE MY LITTLE PAL!" Chang roars as he gave chase, causing the whole area to shake as he stampedes after Shingo like a runaway freight-train.
Both Kim and May Lee sigh.
"Better up the intensity of the 'Anger Management' portion of your rehabilitation program…" May Lee says to Kim.
"No kidding…those two still have a lot to learn…" Kim responds, shrugging his shoulders. "I wonder if we should call the police…?"
What else is happening around South Town?
