That morning, Ken and Kairi are training kendo as usual.

"So, Ken. How does it feels when your old allies are back with you?" asked Kairi after they done their training.

"Great. I never thought that WWE will allowed freelancers to perform here" replied Ken.

"I guess you're really didn't need me now" said Kairi.

"Neesan, don't say such thing. Even if I didn't need you anymore, I will always want you to be with me" replied Ken. Kairi just smirked and carress Ken's cheeks.

"Housako kyodai kawai ne" said Io then suddenly appeared with Arisa.

"Of course we are" replied Kairi.

"I saw you got a lot of heat in social media, Ken" said Io.

"Well, kind of expected actually" replied Ken.

"You play your role well after all" said Arisa.

"Yeah. I just try my best, you know" said Ken.

"You did. That's why I'm proud of you" said Kairi. Ken just grinned.

Later on;

Ken went to Triple H's office at the PC as he was summoned there.

"I'm here, boss" said Ken.

"Ah, Ken. Take a seat" said Triple H.

"So, boss. Am I in trouble?" asked Ken after took a seat.

"No, you're not. As you know, I brought K.E.S here for a reason. Which is for them to participate in this year Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic Tournament. As for you, you will involved in a match to determine the inagural NXT North American Championship" replied Triple H.

"Really? Isn't that too early for me to be in any title picture?" asked Ken.

"Well, yeah. But, there's something else that I planned for you too" replied Triple H.

"I see" said Ken.

"So, this Wednesday, you will face Velveteen Dream for a spot at NXT TakeOver: New Orleans" said Triple H. Ken just nodded.

Later on at his apartment;

"You're in title picture now?" asked Kairi as she and Ken are having lunch together.

"Yeah. But, I don't think I will win it. I'm still new" replied Ken.

"Well, it's up to the creative team, not you. Besides, you're the youngest IWGP Heavyweight Champion after all. Not to mention, you have such a good run. So, you might be the inagural North American Champion" said Kairi.

"Well, I won't get my hope too high. I just want to perform well. That's all matter" replied Ken.

"Soka. That's why I always proud of you, ototo" said Kairi. Ken just smirked.

That Wednesday;

Ken arrived at Full Sail for NXT tapping. As he enters the lockeroom, he saw K.E.S is already there with Undisputed Era.

"Wow, all of you are so early" said Ken.

"Well, why not. Besides, Regal is going to announce for the North American Championship and Dusty Rhodes Tag Team tournaments after all" replied Adam.

"You have a point there" said Ken.

"So, Ken. How do you feel when being a heel again?" asked Lance.

"Kinda looking forward to it" replied Ken.

"I have to admit that I'm quite surprise that you can be a face too instead of heel" said Bobby Fish.

"To be honest, I was surprise too. I thought I will screw it but somehow, it works for me" replied Ken.

"You need to be more confident to yourself. That's all" said Davey Boy Smith Jr.

"That's true. You're a good pro wrestler after all" said Kyle.

"Thanks, guys. Really appreciate the peep talk" replied Ken.

Later on;

"Ladies and gentlemen. Please welcome K.E.S!"

"Well, well. I know most of you hate me now. Well, who doesn't. You think I am a puppet to British Strong Style in facing Undisputed Era. But in the end, they are actually my puppet. Yes, they were my puppet. I just used them because I was outnumbered against them. But, now. Not anymore. I have my brothers here with me and together we will conquer NXT and it will begins at TakeOver: New Orleans when I will be crowned as the first ever NXT North American Champion while Lance and Davey will be the winner of Dusty Rhodes Tag tournament. That's for sure" said Ken.

"That's right, Ken. Unlike before. Me and Davey returned here in WWE not to be looked down by anyone. We're here to conquer the tag team division in this brand and make it our bitch" said Lance.

"That's true. So, you're either with us or against us" said Davey before all of them walked away.

Later;

Ken just change into his wrestling gear when he heard someone knocked the door.

"Who's there?" asked Ken.

"Babe, it's me" said Arisa.

"Just come in then" replied Ken. Then, the door's opened as Arisa entering the lockeroom.

"So, how do you feel about your match later on?" asked Arisa.

"Well, just as usual. Why?" asked Ken in returned.

"Nothing. Can I go to sleepover in your place tonight?" asked Arisa.

"You can even move in if you want to" replied Ken.

"I'll think about it but it seems that nobody else is here" said Arisa.

"Yes. Why?" asked Ken. Arisa just smirked before she started to kiss Ken and they started to make out.

Later;

"The following contest is scheduled for one fall!"

"Introducing first. From Capitol Hall, Washington D.C. Weighed in 227lbs, Velveteen Dream!"

"And his opponent. From Chiba, Japan. Weighed in 230lbs. The Last Samurai; Ken Battousai!"

TING! TING! TING!

The match started with both Ken and Dream getting into chained wrestling. After a while, they ended it with Ken snapped Dream's finger before hit him with a clothesline.

"Get up, konoyaro" cried Ken. As Dream started to get up, Ken made a rope run before hits Dream's ribs with a kick.

Meanwhile at catering area;

"Ken really enjoy his time returning as heel" said Io.

"Well, that's who he is in New Japan though" replied Kairi.

"Yeah. Besides, the only reason why he's here as a face is simply because his debut got highest pop in the history of pro wrestling" said Tegan.

"But, still. I don't want him to be a bad guy. I have bad memories with it" said Arisa.

"Don't worry, kouhai. It just a characater now. Besides, he loves you" replied Kairi.

"I know that, sempai" said Arisa.

Back into the ring;

Ken hits Dream to with a powerbomb to the apron before sent him back into the ring. He then slides in to the ring before covered Dream but Dream kicked out at 2-counts. Ken is disbelief. He then walked to a corner and taunted Dream to stand up. Once Dream already on his feet, Ken tried to hit him with Harakiri but Dream countered it with a roll-up.

"1"
"2"
"3"

TING! TING! TING!

"Here is your winner; Velveteen Dream!"

Dream then rolled out from the ring as Ken is argueing with the referee. Dream just smirked and mocking Ken. Suddenly, Lance Archer and Davey Boy Smith Jr came out and cheapshotting Dream. Archer then sent Dream back into the ring while Smith took a steelchair before both of them get into the ring. All KES members then continue to brutalise Dream until suddenly;

Everybody is wondering who is coming. Then, 3 persons appear. The crowds go wild as they are The Trickster; Ouja Yagami (uhuk uhuk WhiteKaitou) The Rogue Emperor; Alpha Fale (uhuk uhuk Acapjohar) and The S-Rank Rouge Ninja; Hariz Uchiha as they are known as '57 Commando. Seeing this, Ken tossed Dream out from the ring and challenged all 3 of the new debutant to come in to the ring. The '57 Commando then took off their jacket before gets into the ring and started brawling with KES. Then, the whole lockeroom came to separated both teams to end the show.
