I am not affiliated with Capcom or SNK Playmore, nor do I claim ownership of any of their character's or events. All I claim ownership over is writting the events of this fan fiction out as a story. This fan fiction is written only as the work of a fan; the events in this fiction are not official segments of the Capcom and SNK universes. Certain aspects of the Capcom and SNK fighting game worlds will be altered slightly so they may fit into the story I'm trying to tell.

NOTES:
Now that the legal stuff is out of the way, welcome to my telling of the story of the Capcom and SNK rivalry that is Capcom VS. SNK 2 and SvC Chaos: SNK VS. Capcom. Please don't hate me for how I write certain events out. I'm just trying to have fun and tell a story the way I want it told. If you don't like what I write, don't read it.

I will try to stay as close to the official biographies and storylines of Capcom's and SNK's fighting games as I can. But in order for me to do the things I want to do, I have to change a few things around. For example, I have it listed that Sakura Kasugano, Yun Lee, and Kyosuke Kagami go to the same school. They really don't, but I formed them into a team for the tournament, so I need a reason for them to become the team they are, so their being school friends seems logical. Please don't hate me for changes like this. I want to use as many characters as I can from CvS2 and SvC Chaos, so it has to be done.

I've merged the roster of CvS2 and SvC Chaos into one, then divided the character's into teams. Some characters were cut out completely, because I couldn't think of ways to put them into teams after I made all the teams I wanted. Just make a note of that. You find out who they are and who they aren't after I tell you the teams.

First, I'll be telling stories about how the teams were formed. After all the teams are introduced, I will start the actual tournament. It'll be a little while before any actual tournament-related fighting takes place. Be patient with me.

That's pretty much it. I'll post the fic's prologue in this Disclaimer, then start the fic.

PROLOGUE - The Tournament Organizers Meet
In the year 2001...

A shadowy man and woman met in a dark alley. The man was very large and muscular, with strange strange wing-like protrusions sticking from his back. The woman was petite and carried a long sword. The two were having a discussion.

"Are we all set?" the man grumbled in an almost demonic voice.

"Yes. I've selected my 8 teams. You must finish selecting yours. Are you sure we should be doing this? I mean, using people as tools for our entertainment? It's just not right."

"Don't complain. These people all love to fight. They train for battles like these their whole lives. They'll have a blast battling each other."

The woman was still unsure, but reluctantly agreed to carry on.

"Finish selecting your teams. I'll send out the invitations to the contestants."

"Alright. Have you selected a location to hold the tournament?"

"Yes, I've decided to run with Osaka, Japan. It's a breeding ground for fighting energy. It's a great place for a competition of this magnitude."

"Then it's settled. The Mark of the Millennium 2001 tournament will be held in Osaka, Japan. I'll send you my finished team list in a little while. Let us observe our teams from afar."

With that, the two shadows walk away.
