How Iori lost his purple flame?

lost his flame

In KoF XII and KoF XIII Iori comes with no flame. May be some of you wonder how did this thing happened.

Actually, Iori's flame is taken out by Ash Crimson in the KoF XI.
In The King of Fighters 2003, Chizuru appears to both Kyo and Iori, requesting that they form a team and investigate suspicious activities concerning the Orochi seal.
During the investigation, the team is ambushed by the fighter Ash Crimson who plans to get the power the descendants of the clans who sealed Orochi and steals the ones from Chizuru.
In the following video game, Iori and Kyo form a team once again with Kyo's student Shingo Yabuki to fill Chizuru's spot to stop Ash. At the end of the tournament, the strengthening presence of Orochi causes Iori to enter the Riot of Blood state, in which he attacks his comrades.
Ash appears afterward and defeats Iori, stealing his powers.
