PROFILE

K' had to deal with Zero just as he did with his clone one year ago. While his friends dealt with Zero's companions, K' focused on trashing Zero. Even though the original Zero had a lot more power and skill than his clone, the techniques were almost the same, so K' took this as his cue to finish Zero once and for all. The defeated Zero accepts his defeat as a true warrior, and motions for the team to continue. The blimp, which had turned into a rocket ship of sorts, docked on a station in the heavens, and suddenly, the ship began to crumble. K' and the others hurry to board the station, not before giving a final glimpse at the man that he thought was a mere NESTS underdog, but was proud enough to let his enemies leave before they went down with him.

After boarding the station, K' notices that they have arrived at outer space! This should be the main HQ of NESTS, without doubt: a place which could not be discovered even if you scouted every inch of the world. K' knew he would meet his true destiny here, and he indeed encountered himself face to face with the president of NESTS himself in his own throne room! K' growled and cursed the leader of NESTS and his two companions, an attractive blonde secretary, and some tall man dressed in a cloak. The old man in the center seemed calm and didn't move at all, even under the pressure of K's insults. While K' was addressing the old man, the young man in the cloak grabbed the president by the head, and vaporized him! K' was surprised to realize that the lackey of the president (Igniz, the CEO of NESTS) was actually conspirating to overthrow the president and take his rightful place as the new god of the humans!

Igniz arrogantly tells K' about his plans and the project that involved the usage of the DNA of Kyo Kusanagi. Krizalid, Kula, and K' himself were the results of several experiments, and the final product turned out to be another clone called K9999, who was a completely artificial product of NESTS' technology. Then he confesses that he had to erase the memory data of K' so he could fight at his whole capacity, but since he thought it would be fun to watch a clone to actually have full awareness, granted K's memories back to him. With the memories of his childhood and his family now burning deep within his mind, K' stands poised to return the favor to Igniz and put an end to his twisted plot! But Igniz has already begun to set his plan in motion, as he summons all the inhuman power he had hiding deep within him (as a result of the fighting data that was collected the past few years), and challenges K' to do or die!

A cruel battle ensued, a fight which K' couldn't seem to win, terribly overpowered by Igniz and his incredible power. When all seemed lost, Kyo, Iori, and the other main heroes of the King of Fighters tournament arrived to get rid of Igniz and NESTS once and for all! With the help of the flames of Kyo and Iori, K' managed to channel a huge flame blast that overpowered Igniz himself and made the whole room tremble! A defeated and embittered Igniz slowly condemned all of his clones, and even tagged Whip as a useless clone herself! Amidst K's surprise, Igniz climbs a set of stairs to where two pillars were located. Since the humans would deny the existence of a god among them, they would have to be cursed with a demon instead! With those words, Igniz places his hands on the pillars, and sends the whole space station on a crash course towards Earth! As a huge door closes the passage to where the maniacal Igniz was, K' attempts to make a hasty retreat.

After escaping from the space station which crashed into the ocean, K' washed up on a nearby shore, exhausted and wounded. Still, he managed to go in Kula's rescue, who was trying to fight off K9999 and Angel, who were trying to finish her off, as ordered by Igniz. K' manages to drive a furious K9999 and Angel away, and promises that if K9999 ever messed with him again, he would know who was the true "beast of fire"!

Leaving Maxima, Whip, and the others to survey the ruins of the wrecked NESTS space station and the deceased Foxy, K' and Kula took a stroll down the beach. K' was trying to ask himself who was Whip, and if she really was her sister. He also wanted to know if NESTS was dead for sure, and what would K9999 do next? His eyes of sadness and confusion were hidden behind his trademark shades, but Kula could read right through them. Kula walks up to K', asking what would be in store for them now that NESTS is gone. K' just limits himself to respond that a new life would soon dawn on them, a life where they could make their own decisions, and be free from personal revenge from NESTS, as the morning sun begins to light on the young biological weapons.

K' is certainly bitter with life, being an unnatural creation and living underneath the shadow of Krizalid. He dislikes being ordered around, and wishes to live his own life as he pleases. His furious attacks in battle are to be feared indeed, since he seems to lose it. Antisocial and only friend to Maxima, K' is impervious to human feelings, and is a very cold and ruthless young man.
