Rather than let the city -- and his potential ticket out -- be strangled to death, Ken Masters has come to liberate the airport by force. Yet the pure American capitalist fury of Ken Masters will find itself challenged by the cold presence of his resistance -- the Shadaloo Dolls Juni and Decapre, tasked with the continued protection of one of the invading forces most valued assets.

With him in this endeavor is Pás, to see to it that he doesn’t wind up killing himself, and Marisol, who--despite her dislike for the Guardian King--has accompanied her teammate to aid in the fight.

Fin: The Game - Adjudication - Rugal Bernstein has held a stranglehold on Southtown's harbor for months since the beginning of the invasion.

Fin : The Game - Checkmate - A late addition to the chaos that reigns in Southtown, one opportunistic Elle Belmounte takes her chance at seizing control over a priceless cache of information deep in the heart of the Southtown park invasion base - the second largest hostile base of operations in the city. Established after the failed YFCC takeover, it has been a location used for conducting research, preying upon the denizens of Southtown to subject them to inhumane experiments, and pushing the limits of technology in an unholy communion of NESTS and SIN science.

But with enough help on the outside drawing off forces... and the right people brave enough or crazy enough to go into the heart of the base, the impossible might become possible... - created on 14:49:27 05/23/2009 by Rust and last modified on 17:31:30 05/26/2009.

Fin : Classic Choi v Crystal Choi: The Taste Test - Out looking for a way to make a quick buck, and maybe a name for herself in the chaos that is Southtown, Malin stumbles across Choi. Perhaps inevitably, the two swift fighters soon engage in a terrifying battle of speed and skill, but, the question remains: Which will come out on top as the real fan favorite?

Kula, Jiro, Alma, Frei... four individuals with their own ideals and their own willingness to sacrifice for the greater good.

While Blue Mary comes with the many others seeking to dismantle Geese Howard and his Syndicate once and for all, she must find herself dealing with not only the presence of the equally vicious forces of NESTS and Shadaloo led up by the deadly assassin Cammy, but the tonfa-wielding third-in-command of the Southtown Syndicate, the Chrome-Dome Don, Mr. Big in the most vicious of threeways.

Fin : Rage Against the Machine - Shadaloo sends a tank and a troop of soldiers to seize the Geese Tower lobby!
