Team NESTS



Team NESTS is a reoccuring Team in The King of Fighters series.

Description
As the name implies, this team consists of NESTS operatives, during the saga of the same name (and is formed only in KOF 2001). This team was formed by the higher ups by the NESTS cartel, in order to execute any traitors or any potential threats to the NESTS (and watch Kula Diamond, after the events of the previous game). This team also acts as the Team Rivals of the saga, rivaling with Team K' (the Hero Team of the story arc).

After Foxy was brutally injured by Ángel and K9999 during the climax of 2001 tournament, the team was automatically disbanded, and was never formed again after the end of the saga. Despite this, the team was reformed in XV tournament, but this time have nothing to do with NESTS nor under NESTS name, because of their status as the organization's former agents.
