Later that night, on the Southtown Memorial Hospital...
Terry Bogard, Andy Bogard, Mai Shiranui and Blue Mary were sitting on the waiting room, expecting news from Joe. Mai was asleep on Andy's shoulder. Terry, between the four of the them, was the most worried.
" What's wrong, Terry?" - Asked Mary.
" This." - Terry said, taking an envelope out of his pocket. " The King
of Fighters invitations are already being sent. I don't know what we are
going to do without Joe, since Mai has already promised to the other
girls she'd fight on the women team."
"But i'm sure Joe will be back on his feet before the tournament."
"Well... - Terry said, with a sigh. - You don't know Joe like me and Andy
do."
"What does that mean?"
Terry said nothing. A doctor came into the waiting room.
"Your friend is ready to see you, gentlemen. Two at a time, please."
Terry called Andy and they went together into Joe's room. He was lying on a bed, with bandages around his head and body. As the Bogards entered the room, Joe slipped the covers all the way to his head.
"Go away!" - Joe cried. " I'm a loser!"
"No, you're not, Joe. - Said Terry. - You just got some bad luck, that's
all. As soon as you're back on your feet, you'll show that guy."
"I... I can't! Did you even see him fighting? He... He was incredible."
"You are still better than him! Your mistake was underestimating him!" -
Said Andy, sitting on a chair next to Joe.
"I did not! I did my best, and it still wasn't enough. Goes to show he's
the real champion and i'm just a stupid loser."
"Stop it, Joe! Dammit! You know you're no loser! Look back at all the
victories you had! Look at all of the K.O.F. tournaments you've been in!"
"K.O.F... I never deserved to be on it anyway."
"Yes, you have!" - Said Terry, getting back into the conversation. - "You
have and you still do, Joe. This year, when we enter the tournament
again, you'll..."
"What? Is that some kind of joke? I am out of fighting, Terry...
Forever."
"You can't give up fighting because of that! - Shouted Terry, violently
kicking the chair he was sitting on. - Dammit!"
"Yes, i can!" - Joe shouted even louder. - "And now, get the hell out of
here!"
"Fine!"
"Fine!"
Terry slammed the door behind him. Andy came to calm him down.
"Stop it, Terry! - He said. How could you be so mean to Joe?"
"Didn't you hear what he just said? He wants to give up fighting because
of that crappy little match! God, if i could..."
"There is no point in worrying now. We must find a fourth integrant to
our team if we want to be on this year's K.O.F."
With that, they returned to the waiting room where Mai and Mary waited for them. The girls went into Joe's room to try and cheer him up, but it was of little use. They all left the hospital and went home. Andy and Terry still had to figure out their problem about finding a 4th member to the Fatal Fury team.
The next day...
Terry and Andy were talking to past allies, but every single person already had a team, were too busy or had stopped fighting. They were about to give up, when suddenly someone rang Terry Bogard's bell. As he opened the door, he was shocked: The man standing there was the same guy who had humiliated and brutalized their friend, making himself the new Muay Thai champion: Kai Harada. He had the same evil grin he had given Terry and Andy on his lips.
