That morning;

Jake is working out all alone at the gym where he was approached by Kairi.

"Ohaiyo, Marufuji-kun" greeted Kairi.

"Ohaiyo, Housako-san" replied Jake.

"Anata wa tashika ni hitori de subete o tanoshinde imasu" said Kairi. (You sure enjoy doing everything alone)

"Mane" replied Jake.

"Motto tomodachi o tsukuru doryoku o shitahōgaī" said Kairi. (You should make more friends)

"Ore wa chōdo jūbunda to omoimasu" replied Jake. (I think I have just enough)

"Sō ka. Itsu demo itsu demo sōdan dekiru" said Kairi. (I see. You can always talk to me anytime)

"Wakatta. Arigato na Housako-san" replied Jake. Kairi just smirked.

2 days later;

Jake arrived at the arena for Gain Control in Nagoya pay-per-view. Once he entered his lockeroom, he got a phone call from his former bestfriend; Ella Toone.

Jake: What do you want?

Ella: Delaila told me that you called her bitch. Is it true.

Jake: So what if it's true? She is a bitch indeed.

Ella: Really, Walker? Not just you abused her, you call her with a bad name.

Jake: She deserved it. After spreading those lies and created all the false evidence.

Ella: Oh, so you called her a liar too?

Jake: Yes, I am. Now, tell that bestfriend of yours to stay away from me and stop disturbing me everytime she saw me.

Ella: Disturbing you? She tried to forgive you and take you back since no one else want you. Be grateful a bit.

Jake: Oh, now she tried to be a nice person, huh. After ruining my career when it just started. Don't make me puke.

Ella: Can you stop being an egoist?

Jake: You called me an egoist? You know what. Tell her, your teammates that blindly back her up and my former teammates that turned their back on me this; Fuck off.

Jake then quickly hung up.

"In the end I'm the one that is wrong? Freaky bastards" muttered Jake alone. Suddenly, he heard someone knock on the door.

"Darē?" asked Jake.

"Ore da. Daijōbudesuka omai wa?" asked Marufuji. (It's me. Are you okay there?)

"Shinpaishinaide, ojiisan. Ore da daijōbu" replied Jake. (Don't worry, uncle. I'm okay)

"Sokka" replied Marufuji before walking away.

"I'm that loud innit" muttered Jake alone.

Later on;

"Honjitsu no main evento, GHC hebī kyūōza, rokujuppun, ippon shobu okonaimasu!"

"Akai kona de. Emerald Star; KIYOMIYA KAITO!"

"Aoi kona de. GHC hebī kyūōja, de wanderā; JOE MARUFUJI!"

As Joe entered the ring, Kiyomiya attempted for a cheap shot but the referee managed to stop him. Seeing this, Jake walked towards Kiyomiya and lifted the title high.

"KIYOMIYA!"

"MARUFUJI!"

"KIYOMIYA!"

"MARUFUJI!"

The crowds is chanting the name of both wrestlers as soon as the bell ring. Both Jake and Kiyomiya circling the centre of the ring before went for a chained wrestling that ended up Jake snapping Kiyomiya's finger. Jake then tried to hit Kiyomiya with lariat but Kiyomiya managed to counter with a snapmare German suplex.

Meanwhile;

Some other WWE superstars are watching the show via livestreaming.

"So, this is how the match between 2 ultimate rivals happened, huh" said Kevin Owens.

"That's true. So, you better get ready, Kev. You'll face him next week at his birthland; Manchester" replied Corbin.

"I know that" said Kevin.

"Do you think that you can have a good match with him, Kev?" asked MVP.

"Of course I can but I can't help myself to be stiff a bit" replied Kevin.

"Why?" asked Roman.

"Get real, man. He abused his girlfriend before" replied Kevin.

"And you believe that?" asked Roman.

"You didn't?" asked MVP in return.

"Of course I don't. He's been here for a while and he just mind his own business" replied Roman.

"But the judge said he's guilty" said Corbin.

"Only because he can't prove himself innocent. There is no way for someone with a great start in his career like him fucked up that early" said McIntyre.

"You two always thought everyone is good" said Corbin.

"It's not fair to stereotype him when we don't even know him" replied Roman.

A few minutes later;

Joe was down after Kiyomiya hit him with a powerbomb to the apron while Kiyomiya is clearing up the announcer table. Suddenly, Joe that just recovered cheap shot Kiyomiya before sent The Emerald Star through the table with his powerbomb. He then grabbed Kiyomiya's hair and yelled; Nagura retara naguri kaeshimasu. Oboitoke! He then set Kiyomiya on the steel barricade. He then carefully stood on the barricade before hits Kiyomiya with a double stomp. Joe then quickly sent Kiyomiya back into the ring before he himself slides in and covered.

"How long is this match so far?" asked Becky.

"30 minutes" replied Charlotte.

"Another 30 minutes left, huh" said Dakota.

"You think they will ended up made it to time limit?" asked Io.

"He did so when he faced Okada. So, who knows" replied Becky.

Later on;

It is the final 10 minutes of the match. Both Joe and Kiyomiya kept changing blow and already made quite many pin attempts but still failed to end the match.

"Man, I can even afford to blink my eyes for this match" said Charlotte.

"That's true. Especially in this final 10 minutes" replied Becky.

Meanwhile, Kiyomiya was at the top of the turnbuckle. As he tried to hit Jake with a body splash, Joe rolled away causing Kiyomiya to hit the ring. Joe then quickly gets into his position at one of the corner. When Kiyomiya is about to get up, Joe then dashed toward Kiyomiya to hit End of Journey but Kiyomiya managed to counter it just in time with a lariat. Kiyomiya then stared at the main seats before called for his finisher. As Joe managed to get up, Kiyomiya locked both Joe's hands from behind before hits The Wanderer with a Tiger Suplex.

Ting! Ting! Ting!

"Shosha; Kiyomiya Kaito!"

Later on;

Jake walked out from his lockeroom after he done washed up. At the exit, he saw Kaito smirked at him.

"Omai no 2-dai no kuruma o shūri suru no ni hitsuyōna subete no okane o furikonde moraimashita" said Jake. (I had transfer all the money you need to fix both of your cars)

"Kinishinaide tte ittanoni" replied Kiyomiya. (I told you to not bother with it)

"Ono to Ōtsuchi o tsukatta kizetsu wa, kekkyoku, watashi no aideadeshita. Dakara, koko de sekininwoou hitsuyō ga arimasu" said Jake. (Both stuns involving axe and sledgehammer were my idea after all. So, I need to be responsible here) Kiyomiya chuckled.

"Mā, soreha oretachi no shiai o kodai senden suru tamedesu. Dakara, ore wa sore ni tsuite no kujō wa arimasen" replied Kiyomiya. (Well, it's to hype our match. So, I have no complaints about it)

"Soka" said Jake.

"Koko ni modotte kuru to omoimasu ka?" asked Kiyomiya. (Do you think that you will be back here?)

"Sanē" replied Jake.

"Motto hito o shinjita hō ga ī yo, kōhai. Soko ni iru ma, omai ni totte yori kantan ni narimasu" said Kiyomiya. (You should trust others more, kohai. It will be easier for you while staying there)

"Yatte mirukedo jikan ga kakaru" replied Jake. (I'll try but it takes time)

"Soka. Koko ni modotte kuru no wa itsu demo dai kangeidesu yo ne" said Kiyomiya. (I see. You know that you're always welcome to be back here, right)

"Mochiron. Noa wa ano jiken no ato, orenoiedesu" replied Jake. (Of course. Noah is my home after that incident)

"Itsunohika koko de mata omai to tatakau no o matteimasu" said Kiyomiya. (I'll be waiting to fight you again here one day)

"Wakatta" replied Jake. Then, they bumped their fists before walked away.
