All of the clones are neutralized and the data he collected is sent to NESTS headquarters. Krizalid is defeated, and the voice of his superior talks to him. To get the trigger data necessary for the clones, he challenges K' once again. After the battle, he starts the activation of the clones by using the data fed onto his armor, telling K' that he is his clone. K' and his team make to his lab, so Krizalid challenges them to a battle. He dispatches various troops in many key spots around the world while he awaits for the winning team to arrive at his laboratory. Hosting the King of Fighters tournament, Krizalid watches carefully the teams and prepares to put his plans in action.

Krizalid creates a special battle armor that he wears, which enables him to collect the battle data from anyone he fights, which was necessary to activate the clones. Krizalid is then ordered to create an army of Kyo Kusanagi's clones, which he pulls out in less than a year. K's memories were erased, but he escaped from their control with the help of Maxima, another of their experiments. Krizalid believed he was the original and K' was his clone.

K' is cloned, and his clone is then named Krizalid. The cartel then kidnaps a man and infuse him with Kyo's DNA, naming him K'. The cartel then kidnaps Kyo and get his DNA, but Kyo manages to escape his captivity and also disappears.

After the battle with Orochi, Iori disappears and Kyo is over exhausted. The NESTS cartel had watched carefully the King of Fighters tournament, in order to find the strongest fighter amongst all, deciding to get either Iori Yagami or Kyo Kusanagi.
