Geese Tower.
Located in Southtown, this was the location where the Bogard Brothers, with the aid of their friend Joe Higashi, took their revenge on the criminal mastermind, Geese Howard, for the murder of their father.
But the kingpin of Southtown would not stay dead for long. He's come back and has a few surprise for Terry & Co.. And one of them has just arrived.
Ripper and Hopper, two of Geese's trusted bodyguards have entered Geese's office.
"Sir." Ripper stood forward. "Rugal Bernstein has arrived for your meeting."
"So I hear," replied Geese. Geese looks up in the sky through his window, already knowledgable of Rugal's presence. It's hard not to notice the roar or Rugal's airship, The Blacknoah, hovering not 40 feet above the roof of the skyscraper. "See to it he finds his way to me. And do not oppose him."
"Yes sir." Ripper and Hopper both leave.
"I don't trust this guy Mr. Howard." Billy Kane said, sitting on a black leather couch near Geese's desk.
"I know Billy. But don't worry. Rugal Bernstein is a backstabber, but I'm made a pact with him. And if he breaks it, he'll fall to the Hakkyokuseiken."
"But doesn't he have Orochi's power within him?"
"Yes, he does. But it's no match for my power. After Orochi was sealed away, the power of Orochi is now completely worthless."
Ryuji Yamazaki and Raiden enter the room, followed by Rugal himself.
"Mr. Howard. A pleasure to meet you again."
"Mr. Bernstein. Of course you know the nature of this meeting. Let's get down to business."
"You want me to team with you in the martial arts tournament in Osaka. Why? What do you have planned?"
Geese walked around his desk to meet Rugal eye to eye. "I wish to expand my empire beyond Southtown. Osaka has a history. I've controlled Southtown through violence and fighting. Now I'll control Osaka. And I want to team with you and another to get it."
"What makes you think I want to join you?"
"I can get you Kyo Kusanagi."
Rugal cracked a smile, and then laughed. "So, Kyo is entering the tournament too. Okay Geese, I'll join you. I'd love nothing more than to crush that little pest once and for all. If you can get me Kusanagi, I'll be more than happy to help you gain control of Osaka."
Ripper and Hopper accompany Rugal out of the building. Geese sits in his desk chair, but looks up to notice a man in a blue robe standing where he was not 5 seconds earlier.
Geese stood straight up. "How did you get in here?" He turns to Billy and Raiden.
"I don't know Mr. Howard," Billy replies. "I only glanced away for a second."
"Relax Geese. I just came by to see if the deal was still on. Did you get Rugal to join you?"
"Yes Goenitz. Rugal has just left. He was happy to join when he found out Kyo Kusanagi will be participating in the tournament."
"I myself can not wait to wrap my hands around the throat of Iori Yagami and wake the Orochi blood within him."
"Don't be so sure you can do that Goenitz. They defeated and sealed Orochi with Chizuri Kagura's help. The Orochi blood within Iori is no more."
"It's you who shouldn't be so sure of that Geese. Remember, it was I who started the rite to wake Orochi himself years ago. Though he is still sealed, and for good this time, I have found a way to awaken the blood of Orochi within one who possesses it. I'm used myself as a guinea pig."
Goenitz's eyes begin to burn briefly. Geese knew he wasn't kidding.
"I want you to leave Goenitz." Geese turns to Billy. "Escort Goenitz off my property."
"Sir? There's no one there anymore."
"What?"
Geese spun around to see Goenitz has already left. He straightened his necktie and sat back down.
"As for you, Yamazaki and Raiden. Go retrieve Rock. I have a job for you three."
