Pre-KOF’99 Snippet — “Controlled Burn”
Location: Southtown Docks – Inner Sector
Time: Moments later
The crowd is still cheering.
They think it’s part of the show.
Smoke. Fire. Bodies running blind.
Grenades tearing through steel and bone.
Maxima (low): “He’s herding the civilians.”
A blur cuts through the haze —
heel. elbow. pivot.
Intercepted.
Explosions bloom away from the crowd.
Not random.
Redirected.
K’ doesn’t chase.
He denies.
The attacker breaks forward — straight through them.
Through K’.
Through Maxima.
Toward the crowd beyond.
Maxima (low): “Cornered.”
K’ (flat): “Not yet.”
A beat.
K’s eyes shift — not to the target.
To the relay.
The glove hisses open.
Heat bleeding through the seams.
K’ (dead calm):
“Let’s give them what they want.”
(A breath.)
“Now.”
Blackout.
