Before Battle with Rugal (Ikari Team)
|
Congratulations on your victory! The sponsor of the tournament welcomes you with open arms. He wishes to invite you... Please, follow me.
|
|
|
|
Welcome to my museum.
|
|
So, you are the host of this tournament!?
|
|
Yes! I am Rugal. I know you've been snooping around. My purpose is to add the world's strongest fighters to my collection.
|
|
Collection? You mean these statues are!?
|
|
Yes, that is what I mean! These statues are the end result of all I have beaten! Aren't they wonderful?
|
|
You devil!
|
|
Rugal! It's been 8 years since we last met. You haven't forgotten me, have you?
|
|
Oh yes... I thought I recognized your face from somewhere. You were the captain of the mercenary soliders that I annihilated. I recall that I killed your family, too... I'm sorry about that. For compensation, I'll send you to the other world so that your family won't miss you any more. Come with me to the battle stage.

Prefight: Ikari Team vs. Original Zero
|
The KOF victors are airborne, as planned.
|
|
An aerial victory ceremony? Just what's NESTS brewing up?
|
|
Something's wack here!
|
|
Speaking of wack!
|
|
I've been waiting for you, King Of Fighters' champions.
|
|
Heidern, thank you for your kindness to my dear clones.
|
|
Whatever, now you'll know the true power of Zero!
|
|
|
|
Prefight (Benimaru vs. Clark)
|
I know what you're going through, buddy! I've been burdened with a bunch of reckless teammates as well!
|
|
The Colonel can be a bit of a bother at times and backing him up is no walk in the park, certainly, but...
|
|
You like it, right? I can tell!
|
|
I sure do... I guess we're both gluttons for punishment, pretty boy.
|
|
|
|
Prefight (Chin vs. Clark)
|
Hey you, with the dark glasses. You're still young, but you show promise!
|
|
Are you talking to me, old man? Flattery isn't going to get you any kind of special service.
|
|
No, I was just thinking how much you remind me of myself when I was young.
|
|
...!
|
|
Just kidding! Hohoho! Your fancy glasses may conceal your expression, but I can still tell you received quite a shock!
|
|
|
|
Prefight (Clark vs. Duo Lon)
|
I'm not in a hurry or anything, but some day I am going to have to ask you some very serious questions.
It's an important part of our mission to find out about any hit squads in the world.
|
|
Do as you please... We could do it right now if you want to.
But the only thing I'll show you is how fearsome the Hizoku really are.
|
|
|
|
Prefight (Clark vs. Hwa Jai)
|
I thought that Muay Thai was a sacred art.
But looking at your lack of refinement, I'm starting to have second thoughts...
|
|
Shut up, you! I won't have you defiling Muay Thai like that!
|
|
I was trying to say that you're the one who's defiling it. But that message didn't come across apparently.
|
|
|
|
Prefight (Clark vs. Iori)
|
You've lost your flames but you're still strong as ever. Once again my intel is totally off the mark.
|
|
Yet you still dare stand before me? You must not value your life much.
|
|
I'll stand in front of a tank if that's what my mission requires. And I'll survive it too, because I'm a pro!
Anyway, I'm fighting you, not a tank, so let's get this over with quickly!
|
|
|
|
Prefight (Clark vs. Kim)
|
Look, you're free to choose whomever you want as a disciple... But could you at least keep all of them on a leash and prevent them from appearing on stage?
|
|
I'm sorry to disoblige, but this is necessary for the rehabilitation process. By fighting here and being evaluated by others, they will attain spiritual improvement.
|
|
That's a lovely way of teaching, but try to look at it from the perspective of those that have to fight them!
|
|
|
|
Prefight (Clark vs. Vice)
|
You guys are such a constant pain in the rear end... Don't you know when to quit?
|
|
Nobody's asking you to stick around. If you don't like it, why don't you just run off now?
|
|
I don't like it any more than you do, but it's a part of the mission, I'm afroud. I'll be sticking around to the end, Vice!
|
|
|
|
Prefight (Daimon vs. Clark)
|
Your strong composure hides a will to fight. I can sense it...
|
|
Really? Man, I gotta start working on my inner poker face.
Our ideal is to defeat the enemy while hiding our will to fight and our air of violence.
|
|
|
|
Prefight (Elizabeth vs. Clark)
|
Please retreat. This place does not require the presence of army officials.
|
|
Sure, whatever you say, ma'am. You think I'm gonna run off, just like that? I'm on a mission too here!
If you want to get rid of me, you're gonna have to do so by force. No hard feelings, eh?
|
|
|
|
Prefight (Kyo vs. Clark)
|
Why don't you take those accessories off first? I'd hate to set fire to any of them.
|
|
Are you talking about the grenades on my chest? They're just dummies. They're not real.
|
|
Well, that's a relief. Now I can burn you to my heart's content!
|
|
Is that a fact? My fists might be even more dangerous than grenades, though?
|
|
|
|
Prefight (Mad Ash vs. Clark)
|
What does the military want with me? Just wait patiently until time has been turned to ashes.
|
|
That sounds way too abstract. Could you be a bit more specific?
|
|
Time is time. Ashes are ashes. What more do you need to know?
Let's put it like this: all your human history will return to naught.
And when all of it has been scattered by the wind, we will come in to create history anew!
Does that make it clear? i have the power to do such a thing and I will use it!
|
|
Thanks for the lecture. Now come along to the office like a good boy.
I can't let you run around with powers like that.
|
|
|
|
Prefight (Raiden vs. Clark)
|
You seem to be pretty buff for an amateur... In any case, this is the end for you!
|
|
An amateur, am I? I'll have you know I'm a professional mercenary actually.
Then let's see if a professional mercenary can beat a professional wrestler!
|
|
|
|
Prefight (Ralf vs. Clark)
|
Hey, Clark! Don't go easy on me just because I'm your superior, okay?
|
|
And you don't hold back just because I'm your subordinate, Colonel!
|
|
Good, good! Then let's...
|
|
Play Warrior!
|
|
|
|
Prefight (Shen vs. Clark)
|
Just because you know the battlefield doesn't mean you're actually strong, you know?
|
|
True that. It also doesn't mean you're stronger than me though.
|
|
Did you learn how to talk wise on the battlefield too, huh? All I care about is how you fight!
|
|
|
|
Prefight: Kula vs. Clark
|
Hey, where's Seirah? Isn't she with you?
|
|
She's on a mission of her own. Why are you asking me, sweetheart?
|
|
It's just... Seirah is always telling me how she has to clean up after you guys...
|
|
... What is she trying to make this kid think we're doing here?
|
