Shits not looking too good. Ash has gone rogue. Those From A Distand Land are planning their attack and strange things have been going behind the scenes of this year's KOF tournament. VERY strange things. You received a letter with the Blanctorche family crest. Elizabeth, she called upon you because of your skills. You'll tag along with Shen and Duo Lon as well. The Orochi seal has become wildly unstable. You feel the serpent's energy overflowing. You haven't felt such an aura since 97. Your clan is aligned with the Blanctorche and Sacred Treasures so unfortunately... this is your problem as well. Two members of the Hakkeshu have been spotted with Iori Yagami. The cultists of the Orochi clan have gone wild, killing innocents in the name of pleasing their evil god. But there's hope, the flames of the Yasakani and Kusanagi. The light of the Yata and Blanctorche. Something doesn't sit right with you. You've known Ash since he was a child, just when did he change so drastically. You can clearly see Elizabeth is stressed out her mind.

You arrive at the Blanctorche manor on outskirts of France. Elizabeth was generous enough to pay for your flight and most of your expenses. She must really need the help but you were gonna have to come anyways. You make your way through the familiar halls to the center. The meeting table. Almost like it didn't burn to the ground... You always had the lingering suspicion that Ash played a role in the fire that wiped out the Blanctorche. Just what had gotten into that boy?

You sit down at the long table. Duo Lon and Shen Woo are seated. Shen looking bored out of his mind. Duo Lon deep in thought. But at the head chair was Elizabeth. She looked sleep deprived and stressed, as she should be

Elizabeth : Toutes les idées? (Any ideas?) You shake your head Elizabeth : C’est de la foutaise ! Just what the hell does Ash think he's doing. He was raised better than this! Si je mets la main sur lui... Je le tuerai, je le jure! (Bottom line, Ash is in some deep shit)
