Team Gorgeous vs Chizuru Kagura
Chizuru: Congratulations on your victory!
Mai: Oh my goddess! It’s a goddess!
Chizuru: Yes, well, I do try to take care of myself. Now...
Kasumi: Oh, don’t be so modest. You’re absolutely gorgeous! Isn’t she absolutely gorgegous, King?
King: Oh, yeah. I’d just love to...
Chizuru: Um, that’s wonderful, thank you. Greetings, I am Chizuru Kagura, the host of this tournament. And I must admit, I was fascinated by your team. I always wanted to meet you three in person.
King: Oh? Why is that, honeybunch?
Mai: Oo-oo, I think we have a secret admirer!
Chizuru [blushes]: No, I just...
Kasumi: Aw, come on. She’s just thrilled that an all-women team has won in a predominantly male-dominated sport. Isn’t that right?
Chizuru: Yes...thank you, Kasumi. At any rate, you’ve won, and you will learn the truth behind the King of Fighters tournament.
Mai: Fire away, sister!
Chizuru: The previous host, Rugal Bernstein, possessed the Orochi power, the evil power of death and destruction. But he did not receive it on his own; it was given to him by a powerful master of Orochi.
King: Wait a minute, you’re telling us that there’s someone even more obnoxious and pigheaded than Rugal?
Chizuru: Well, I never looked at him that way, but...yes, he is.
Kasumi: Dear. All right, who is this master of Orochi?
Chizuru: If you wish to know, you must prove your worth first. Defeat me and I’ll tell you who this master is. So, how about it? Think you can forget about
sisterhood for a minute and fight me?
Mai: No problem! We’re no bigots!

Team Gorgeous vs Goenitz
King: You’re even stronger than you look! Hey, thanks for giving us a decent challenge for a change.
Chizuru: My pleasure! Nevertheless, it was you three who won, so as promised, I will reveal the identity of the Orochi master.
Kasumi: Hold on just a sec. Something’s coming back to me...Orochi, Orochi...uh oh. This guy is bad news.
Chizuru: I fear that you are correct. His name is Goenitz. He gave the Orochi power to Rugal in order to test its effects. But Rugal wasn’t strong enough to control it and it killed him [show ’95 snapshots]. Now Goenitz alone controls the power and...well, let’s just say that he doesn’t believe in gender equity.
Kasumi: Which, presumably, is why you’re trying to stop him.
Chizuru: You are perceptive, Kasumi. In fact, it is my intention to seal off the Orochi power. But as long as Goenitz controls it, I can’t. That’s why I held
this tournament, to find out which team was strong enough to defeat him.
Mai: So it’s four women against the grandaddy of all male chauvinist snotballs. Gosh, you almost have to feel sorry
for him.
Chizuru: It’s heartening to see such confidence, but beware; Goenitz is far more powerful than any enemy you’ve faced in the past. You must be in complete unity to have a chance of defeating him! [wind blows]
Mai: Eiji, is that you?
Chizuru: He’s here! Goenitz is here! Be strong, good women! Do not let him succeed! The fate of the world is... [collapses, Goenitz enters]
Goenitz: Pardon me, but I was supposed to meet a team selected by one Chizuru Kagura. Could you girls please direct me to it?
King: Look...don’t call us "girls", okay?
Goenitz: Whatever you say, honeybunch.
King: Grr...
Mai: All right, mister, let’s cut the crap and get to business. We’re the team. We won the tournament and Chizuru has given us the privilege of caving your hideous face in!
Goenitz: Heh. I should be ashamed to take advantage of such unworthy opponents. Nonetheless, in deference to your obvious weakness, I’ll explain a little more about myself and the Orochi power.
King: Lucky us.
Goenitz: Ahem...for centuries the Orochi clan has sought to make the world a better place. However, we can’t do anything with all these annoying governments and world leaders and armed forces in the way. The solution? The total destruction of the world. To this end, we harnessed the Orochi power. And we would have succeeded, too, if those infernal Kusanagis and Yagamis didn’t keep getting in the way.
Kasumi: That’s not the whole story, though. The champions of Magatama may be your main enemies, but they are by no means your only ones. Anyone who opposes the Orochis’ insane vision is their enemy...in particular, a certain well-known aikido family!
Mai: Kasumi, what are you getting at?
Kasumi: It’s true, my friends. Ever since this tournament began two years ago, papa-san has been keeping an eye on what the Orochis were up to. He recently had a terrible vision of the arrival of a great evil that would threaten the
world. That’s why I joined the tournament. And Goenitz, needless to say, is the great evil!
Goenitz: Amazing, isn’t it? Yes, I know of Ryuhaku’s meddling. He should have just accepted the fact that he was a total disgrace and no use to anybody. But no, he had to be a big hero and stop the big, bad Orochi menace. So what does the oh-so-brave aikido master do? Enter his pitiful daughter in his place! Hah!
Kasumi: I am getting annoyed...
Goenitz: Well, Mai and King, I’m sure that this is all just too much for your pretty little heads. I won’t waste any more of your time. And now, I’m afraid I’m going to have to go girl hunting!
King: That does it! You’re dead meat, meathead!
Mai: You’re gonna burn! [Goenitz close-up]
Goenitz: Heh heh heh...

Ending
Goenitz: Impossible! I didn’t bow down to them like all those other fools, I showed no mercy...and still they won?
King: Believe it! Sisterhood prevails again!
Mai: We are strong, we are invincible!
Kasumi: Not to mention far more beautiful than you.
Chizuru: And now that I’ve sealed off the Orochi power, it looks like you’re the weak one...boy.
Goenitz: No...no! Not like this! An Orochi cannot be defeated by mere girls! This is an... [collapses and disintergrates]
Chizuru: It is done. You have shown beyond all doubt that women can be just as strong and brave as men. I thank you all for ending the Orochi menace. But now I must take my leave.
Mai: Hey, what’s your hurry? We just met!
King: Don’t you want to get to know us a little better?
Chizuru: Look, I’m flattered, but I can’t...
Kasumi: Oh, fiddle-faddle. You’ve just ended the threat of the Orochi power. Don’t you know how to celebrate properly?
Chizuru: Please, I really... [Chizuru starts to back off. Team sees the threat and quickly jumps on her, dragging her to the ground.]
Mai: You’re coming with us, sister.
Kasumi: And we’re going to give you the time of your life, and you are going to go wild! In a good way.
King: And after that...who knows? *kiss kiss*
Chizuru [blushing like crazy]: Um...er...um... [Switch to grassy hill overlooking street. Yuri Sakazaki is looking for the team. From behind, Blue Mary walks up.]
Mary: Yuri! Hi. So, what brings you here?
Yuri: Oh, hi. I’m looking for my old team. I wanted to congratulate them for winning the tournament. And you?
Mary: I was going to patch things up with Mai and King for that huge bar brawl. Wanted them to know that there’s no hard feelings and that I...
Yuri: Stop! I was there, remember?
Mary: Oh yeah, right.
Yuri: Well anyway, they were supposed to meet me here an hour ago. What could be holding them up?
Mary: Say...you think it might have something to do with that Kagura lady? That they’re...well, you know...doing something?
Yuri: What? Listen, I know we’ve had our problems in the past, but to even suggest that my friends would... [Team rushes in pulling along Chizuru, now
wearing a miniskirt, halter top, new hairstyle, and new jewelry, and made up to within an inch of her life. They’re elated. She’s breathless.]
Mai: C’mon, it’s almost lunchtime and we still have five more stores to hit! Pick up the pace!
Chizuru: *pant, gasp* Can we stop for a while?
Kasumi: Hey, do you want that full-body massage or not? Move it! Oh, that reminds me, did you get that hotel reservation set up, King?
King: Got it! Tonight at 9 sharp! [Mary and Yuri look astonished. Long pause.]
Yuri: Looks like they’re gonna be busy for a while.
Mary: *sigh* I feel so lonely.
Yuri: [pause] Want to spend the afternoon with me?
Mary: Sure, why not. [Mary leans on Yuri’s shoulder as they walk away.]
