Second South Town

Second Southtown (called by its inhabitants as Second South) is a fictional city in the Fatal Fury and The King of Fighters universe. It first appeared in Garou: Mark of the Wolves.

Story
Southtown was a city infested with crime since the 50s. In the late 1990s, a crime syndicate named NESTS supposedly hid its headquarters in the city. In the year 2000, a man named Zero betrayed NESTS and planned to destroy its headquarters. He planned to use the Zero Cannon, a space-based weapon with tremendous fire power. But, in order to get enough energy he created the King of Fighters 2000 tournament. At the tournament finals, he fired the Zero Cannon and destroyed Southtown. A city was lost in vain, NESTS's headquarters was actually in a satellite.

Southtown's inhabitants worked hard to rebuild the city and they succeeded, although the city was never the same. In the year 2008, a man named Kain R. Heinlein conquered Second Southtown's underground and was planning to proclaim the city's independence from the USA. To fulfill his quest, he would need his nephew, Rock Howard. He created the King of Fighters: Maximum Mayhem tournament and lured Rock and his guardian, Terry Bogard. Kain eventually convinced Rock to join him, but it's still not confirmed if Second Southtown proclaimed independece or not.
