GOENITZ
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Goenitz is one of the Four Heavenly Kings of Orochi, and controls the
element of Wind. He is the man who broke the seal that was imposed on the Orochi
power 1800 years ago, by the Kusanagi and the Yagami. It is unknown about the
past and origins of Goenitz. It has been only recently when the world shaked at
the demostration of his power.
Goenitz did not appear with strength until the year of 1986, while many
fighters where only young boys and girls. He showed up at the village of the
Clan of the Yata, the people that took care of the seal that was imposed on the
Orochi power. He then invoked for the heir to the Clan of the Yata to come out
and face him in battle. The woman came out, and cursed both Goenitz and the
Orochi power for ever being present in this world. Goenitz just chuckled and
began to display his inmense power. His aura was so powerful and devastating it
was too much for the Yata clan member to hold. With an inmense gust of wind,
Goenitz blew the Yata clan member away. Leaving her mortally wounded, Goenitz
laughs and tells her that from now on, the Orochi power will be free again.
However, the Orochi power is still dormant, and too weak to be able to do
anything. So, he would gather fighting energy for the Orochi to feed on, and
that his task would be much easier if he had allies with him. Saying this,
Goenitz vanishes in a night breeze.
Sometime later, an ambitious man named Rugal Bernstein tried to keep hold
on the Orochi power, wishing to absorb his power to himself and become the most
powerful man in the world. Sensing a disturbance in the Orochi power balance,
Goenitz soon transports himself to where the entity attempts to steal the
precious Orochi power. Rugal was surprised by the inmediate appearance of
Goenitz. Goenitz menacingly informs Rugal that any mortal who dares lend a hand
upon the Orochi power is sure to die. Rugal sneers and says he will have that
power no matter what. Rugal then attacks Goenitz very quickly, but Goenitz just
raises his hand, and strikes it towards Rugal, gouging his right eye out. Rugal
reels of pain. Goenitz, however, is surprised that Rugal had survived his
attack. Grinning, Goenitz tells Rugal that possesing the Orochi power will be
his own doom. He then transfuses some Orochi power into Rugal's blood. Rugal is
reeked with pain, and is left near unconsciousness. Goenitz leaves, and finally
tells Rugal that he must not use this power until completly necessary, since it
will kill him. Goenitz then leaves Rugal to his fate, not before ordering his
two aides, the assasin women Mature and Vice, to keep an eye on him, and see
that he never uses the power of Orochi against them.
Goenitz then goes to a remote village, where several Orochi blood members
still live. He presumes that they would gladly help him in his task to gather
fighting energy for the Orochi. However, Guidel, the leader if the village,
refuses to help Goenitz since they have found peace and tranquility and does not
want to colaborate in the destruction of the world. Goenitz gets furious, but he
then spots a little girl coming out of Guidel's house. Seeing how gracious and
full of spirit she was, Goenitz then gleers at Guidel and tells him that he will
regret ever having betrayed their own bloodline. That same night, the little
girl called Leona began to feel sick, and soon enough, she lost consciousness.
Before her family could take care of her, she mysteriously woke up, with a very
sinister look in her eyes. Guidel recognized those blood-filled eyes...it was
the Riot of Blood! But it was too late. The mortal rampage of Leona began, and
did not stop until the whole village was destroyed, not leaving anybody alive.
Goenitz contemplates with glee the death and destruction, and heads towards the
blood-stained Leona. Goenitz touches her head, and tells her that she is still
too young to be able to control the power for too long, so he would have to wait
until she became an adult. Saying so, he begins to walk away. Goenitz laughs, as
he knows that Leona would be of use to him pretty soon...
A time passed before something was heard from Goenitz, who had seemed to
go out and scavange the world for more fighting energy for the Orochi. He once
took a journey to Japan, and decided it was time to see how much the Kusanagi
have improved since 1800 years ago. He decided to challenge Kyo alone, the
latest descendant of the Kusanagi clan. He fought him, but Kyo's techniques
seemed so primitive for Goenitz, who had no trouble in putting the young warrior
out of comission. Sensing that that was not all the young warrior could do, he
beckoned for him to challenge him when he was more prepared...say, for the next
King of Fighters tournament. He left a wounded and humilliated Kyo wretching on
the ground
Soon, he sensed it was time to wrap up the job. He heard about Rugal's
death by using the Orochi power, and he comissioned Mature and Vice to now keep
an eye on Iori Yagami, who also had Orochi blood in his veins, due to the unholy
pact the Yagami and the Orochi had 660 years ago, unleashing the war against the
Kusanagi. He followed the King of Fighters tournament of 1996 closely, always
hidden in the shadows. He was impressed by all those strong fighters, and wished
he could fight them all, but he had to concentrate on the strongest only. He was
also very pleased at seeing Leona there as well. She had grown alright, but he
was still unsure of using her just yet. Soon, the finals began, and Goenitz was
there. He then saw a woman coming out for the final battle against the Hero
Team. Goenitz identified her as a Clan of the Yata member. She seemed so much as
that woman she killed ten years ago. Maybe her sister...? Anyways, Goenitz
stalled until the defeat of Chizuru. Then, taking advantage that everybody was
dumbfounded, Goenitz gathered all his power and unleashed it, reducing the
plethoric stadium into mere rubble.
Goenitz then greeted Kyo once again, and asked if he had improved anything
since the last time they met. Kyo smiled and tells Goenitz he had changed a lot.
It was true, since Goenitz now had a harder time trying to neutralize Kyo. And
when it was evident that he would finish Kyo, Iori appeared to help him. It was
rare for Goenitz that this would happen. Iori shouts to Goenitz that Kyo is his
alone, and Goenitz suspects that Mature and Vice must have left him alive in
order for him to kill her. Cursing both of them, Goenitz now has to face Kyo and
Iori, reviving the ancient battle between the Orochi and the Kusanagi/Yagami
alliance from 1800 years ago. However, it was too much for Goenitz to handle
himself, despite his incredible strength. Goenitz is then defeated by a double
crimson flame blow from both Kyo and Iori. Before disappating, Goenitz chuckles,
and tells Chizuru, Kyo, and Iori that the Orochi power is far from erradicated,
and that soon they would have to bow to Orochi's incredible power! Goenitz then
raises his hand, and a gust of wind vanishes him, never to be seen again.
Goenitz is an ambitious man, and as a Heavenly King of Orochi, he is
obssesed with the destruction of the mortals and the resurrection of Orochi. But
Goenitz is not your run-of-the-mill badguy. He is very polite, and always seems
to talk with so much confidence in himself. After all, he didn't plan to revive
Orochi by himself. Soon, the other three Heavenly Kings of Orochi would help
finish what he began...
*Fun fact = There has been many rumors that Goenitz and Ryuji Yamazaki are
possibly blood-related (aside from both being of Orochi blood). This is said
because both have similiar physique, similiar hair, and even some moves that are
the same! It is unknown what they are, but one thing's for sure...Goenitz is a
LOT more self-controlled than crazy Yamazaki! ^-^
