SNK vs Capcom: The Story so far
Prologue
Following a lead that their leader's mortal enemy, Rugal, is still alive, the mercenaries known as the Akari Warriors consisting of; Clark, Heidern, Ralf, and Leona scale the side of a Portuguese palace where it is said that their nemesis is staying. Once inside they were met with the true master of the castle, Demitri Maximoff, and the Akari Warriors had realized they had been given false information. A conflict insued to which the mercenaries were bested by the Darkstalker's inhuman powers. Upon his victory, Demitri claimed Leona as his prize and when he attempted to make her into one of his mistresses of damnation, he discovered a great power held in her blood that made him even flinch. Just at that moment, another mercenary by the name of Baby Bonnie Hood, who was on assignment to kill Demitri, rescued the Akari Warriors and helped them to escape. With Clark badly injured from the previous conflict, Heidern hired B. B. Hood in hopes he may be able to gain what information she may know about Demitri and also replace their temporarily downed man. In the distance two men had observed their handiwork. One was Rugal, the other man apparently his master.
Noble Visitations
Brooding in his Palace, Demitri was in a sour mood over the escape of the Akari Warriors with the assistance of B. B. Hood. His most trusted advisor, Galeo gives Demitri information and some background on the Akari Warriors. Demitri also recalls the amazing power of Leona's blood and ponders the effects of tasting it. Will it increase his power, or bring him harm? But how will Demitri find the Akari Warriors again? They are apparently one of the most elite group of mercs around, it would not be simple to happen upon them. Enter the Spanish Nobleman and skilled assassin named Vega Grandeza with a plan ready for Demitri with no string seemingly attached. It involved a musician and fighter known as Iori Yagami. Galeo questions Vega's motives and is goaded by the visitor into a conflict. Galeo is slain with no effort and Vega tells Demitri that he has no alternative but to follow the plan given to him. Demitri departs for Germany
Savage Blood
Iori had just finished up a gig in Klon, Germany and had retired to his dressing room. In his room he was met by Demitri Maximoff, who was exclaiming his interest in Iori's talents as a fighter. And wished to enter into a tournament alongside Iori, stating it would be a great honor for Demitri if Iori would. Iori has no interests in tourneys and turns down Demitri. A conflict of egos ignites a vicious battle between the two when Iori is pushed to his limit and erupts into the infamous "Riot of the Blood." Demitri in turn reveals his dark power, and with a grim smile on his face and an almost frenzied excitement readies for a true contest.
The Greater Demon?
The battle between the Orochi possessed Iori and the Darkstalker is vicious indeed, but the victor was named in Demitri. Awaking in Demitri's hotel suite, Iori is once again asked by Demitri to join him in a tournament. Unknown to Iori, Demitri only wants to be seen with Iori in hopes that it will drag Iori's love intrest, Leona, out into the open with the rest of the Akari Warriors not far behind. For some strange reason, Iori cannot find the will to turn Demitri away this time. After Demitri takes his leave for some unrelated business, he informs his servants not to let Iori leave under any circumstances, not that Iori could feel the need to go anywhere. Upon Demitri's departing, Iori discovers two puncture wounds on his jugular........
Fatal Void
Infamous drug trafficker and all around megalomaniac, Master Bison, observes the rebuilding of his Psychodrive which was destroyed in a battle a while back. A tall man of African decent enters requesting the progress of the Pychodrive, and presuming to be Bison's equal, perhaps even more. Bison is not accustomed to ANYONE speaking to him in a familiar voice, but he even quells his anger towards this Nigerian.
Meanwhile, Guardian of the Great Orochi seal, priestess, and head of a major corporation, Chizuru Kagura, is visited by an Italian woman who only reveals herself as 'Rose.' Rose speaks to Chizuru concerning a troubling aspect that the priestess had feared to acknowledge. Rose also brought up the name "Rugal" which certainly garnered Chizuru's attention. The two depart for Hong Kong to meet up with Gen and an associate Chizuru was familiar with, Athena Asamiya.
Vega returns from his visit to Portugal to find Bison in a rather....agitated mood. The Spanish Nobleman informs the Nigerian that Demitri was on his way to meet up with Iori. With a smile on his face the African gentleman announced that it was time for a new King of Fighters Tournament......
No More Dreams
Chizuru and Rose rendezvous with Gen and Athena to share information. Apparently Athena has not had any dreams or premonitions for quite a bit, as if someone had been blocking her ability along with Chizuru's and Rose's.
Iori out of absolute boredom decided to watch TV while he was Demitri's captive. Upon randomly scanning channels he happened upon an ad for another King of Fighters Tournament. He now knew which contest he would enter with Demitri.
After tiring of putting up with the abuse of the tall Nigerian, Rugal attacked and was promptly quelled with barely any effort. After the brief tussle, Master Bison walked in and informs the Nigerian that a massive energy phenomena was heading for Earth, and they dispatch Pyron to investigate it.
The Contestants
Registration day has come for the latest King of Fighters Tournament. Chizuru once again inquires of Rose what Rugal's involvement was. Rose replied about how after intense concentration she was able to break the veil around her mystic senses and how she saw the symbol of Omega on a multiheaded Serpent. As they pondered how they would investigate her notion, Gen had already came up with a solution; enter the latest King of Fighters Tournament. In the past Rugal more than once has been associated with it, so it was their best lead. Iori informs Demitri of his intentions for them to enter the King of Fighters tournament, while the African who's name is revealed as Anansi, is informed of Pyron's defeat at the hands of a man named Jedah. Anansi decides that this "Jedah" requires his personal attention.
There is no Cure for Hatred
A well respected Chieftain, doctor, and father of Street Fighter 3's own Elena, named Solomon Bakari is visited by Anansi. It is revealed that the two apparently have a bitter history between them, but Anansi thanks Solomon for if his past plans were not halted by the Chieftan, his plans now could never be realized. With a hard reserve and a determination, Solomon is ready to battle Anansi once again for the fate of the world, his tribe, and most of all..... his family. Unfortunately he was absolutely no match for Anansi as he was bested in less than an instance. If he could not hope to defeat Anansi, who could?
Enter Gill
Gill also receives a visit from Anansi. This time Anansi feigns to be more humble as he requests that Gills massive organization not interfere with his plans so that he may bring about Gills idea for him for a Utopian world. In the meantime the "Ancient Mystics Team" wins their first bout with only but very little effort on behalf of Gen. After their battle they discuss their first agenda now that they are entered into the tournament. Gill smiles at the fact that someone he has never known before would ask him to do something such as this. I guessed that for such an amusing fellow he should give him a chance. Gill vowed that his organization would not bespoil Anansi's plans. Anansi walked away grateful, apparently not aware that Gill said that his organization would not interfere, he never said that he would challenge Anansi's plans on personal business though.......
