King of Fighters 2000

After the mysterious organization N.E.S.T.S suffered the failure of KOF99, it seemed to disappear from the world, and there was no news for a while. However, unlike the seeming silence of N.E.S.T.S., terrorist activities are frequently occurring around the world.

Just when Haydn was about to start tracking the two, the KOF conference sent out an invitation again.

Are these just coincidences? Or is there an ulterior motive behind it? KOF, filled with the depressing feeling of an approaching storm, is about to open again...
