Kenta was in a back alley wearing his suit and tie, a black briefcase in hand and looking at his wrist watch, waiting for Taaru to arrive. He hides it staring at his watch and looking impatient about the fighter's delay, but the truth is that he was absolutely nervous and wondered where the young man was. Meanwhile Taaru was walking through another alley heading towards their meeting point, seeing a figure standing at the side on his path, he paid them no mind walking past the stranger.

"Taaru Mota." said the mysterious person, causing Taaru to stop and look over his shoulder to take a closer look at the figure. A man in a black suit and trench coat looking straight at him, face covered by the shadows as the individual said, "Drop the fight, and I will triple the pay you get from Kenta." Taaru just looked at him, reading his body language and then turning back to head through the alley way. Soon arriving at the location and saw Kenta waiting for him.

"There you are." Kenta said sounding mad and annoyed, walking over to him and looked him in the eye. Taaru stared back at him, reading through the fake attitude and looked straight into his eyes with a serious demeanor.

"I won't lose this fight." he said to reassure him and walked on to get ready when he added, "But you better get me who i want when i do."

"I will." the worker smiled while watching Taaru leave, feeling better about what he was about to go through, Kenta clenched the brief case tightly in his hand.

Surrounding the top of a parking garage with cars being use to light a stage, a crowd watches the referee on it with a man in a suit behind him.

"Good evening," the guy said in a eerie, calm voice standing straight and drawing the crowd's attention to him as he continued, "We are all here to see a new member join our ranks of the Kengan Matches." He paused to allow them to cheer what he said, before turning to his right, "Please come forward, Kenta Toshio." Said man walked forward from the shadows and looked at the crowd, seeing them watching and judging him, even hearing laughing in the back. "Do you have the payment?" the man asked paying the crowd no mind and completely focused on Kenta, drawing the worker's attention to him.

"Yes I do." he said holding up the briefcase in front of him, allowing the guy to open it and look inside. Inspecting carefully each bill in the case before closing it and looking straight at Kenta.

"The offering is accepted." he said taking the briefcase and turning towards the crowd saying, "Now, let's introduce the competitors. First, in his Kengan Matches Debut, from Alaska in the U.S.A. Taaru 'Kuma' Mota." Taaru stepped into view of the crowd, wearing a pair of black shorts, showing off his muscles along with tape around his feet, ankles, wrists, and palms. The crowd didn't react too much, seeing him walk next to Kenta and cracking his neck, then doing a few hops to prepair for the fight. "And the other fighter, with 16 to 3 loses, the gang leader, 'Mad Dog' Ishia Eji." A tall guy stepped out of the shadows wearing jeans, a black t-shirt, a denim vest with a demon face on the back, finger-less black leather gloves, and steal toed boots. The crowd cheered fiercely for Eji as he stood up tall and looked at Taaru, the giant smirked seeing he was taller than the 'newbie' by a few feet.

"You ready for this bug?" he asked, staring down at Taaru and looking into his green eyes. Seeing that the long haired man had nothing but a serious look on his face, an intense fury invaded his mind.

"Starting with an insult is a sign of your weak spirit." Taaru said staring right at him and Eji's fists instantly clenched, fighting the urge to swing at him before the match started.

"I think i know who you are." Eji said getting into a karate stance with his right foot forward and hand in front of his left, "You're the guy who beat up my boys a few days ago, aren't you?"

"They didn't answer my questions and were very rude." Taaru answered before getting into his own fighting stance, knuckles curved up with his palms showing and the right hand forward to get ready for a fight.

"Oh, that's a new one." Eji said smirking looking at his stance and leaned back on his heels and then forward, showing excitement for the fight to start.

"Are you ready?" the referee asked both fighters and watched them nod, and then, clapping his hands together he exclaimed, "FIGHT!" Eji lunged forward and threw a few closed hand punches, which Taaru dodged and blocking one before throwing a few of his own. Two hit Eji square in his chest yet it did nothing, throwing Taaru aback from this. The green eyed man moved back a few feet to avoid a few more punches.

"Why are you running?" Eji asked Taaru, moving forward resuming his assault, not leaving him an opening as he tried to dodge the attack. But when he took one step back, Eji locked his boot around Taaru's left leg, making him lose his balance for a moment. Using this chance, Eji pulled back and then threw a punch, hitting the long haired fighter hard in the chest, and with his foot hooked, the punch pushed him to the concrete with a loud thud. Taaru put his arms up to block when Eji climbed up onto his chest and began to rain down punches, smirking wide with each of his blows landing hard with a loud smacking sound. The crowd cheered for Eji from his onslaught as Kenta watched from the sidelines full of worry, watching his only hope to join the Kengan Matches getting pummeled. Eji continued the incessant rain of punches and smirked wide when Taaru's bruised arms started drop the guard. Seeing an opening, Eji pulled his right arm all the way back before thrusting the fist forward yelling, "This is it you little punk!"

But suddenly, an elbow from Taaru slammed into Eji's face and made him feel dizzy just enough for Taaru to force him off. Taaru got to his feet and resumed his fighting stance with a serious look on his face.

"I see you are a low level fighter." he said staring daggers at Eji, who got up and glared at him as he charged. Eji threw a punch, which Taaru blocked using his right arm and countered with a side kick to the ribs. Eji staggers to the side and was met with a quick left to his face, causing blood to run from his mouth to the ground.

"Damn it, you're a Muay Thai fighter?" Eji asked him groaning and holding his mouth, pulling it away to see he was still bleeding from the punch.

"No, I'm a master of my own style." Taaru said moving forward with a flurry of punches, which Eji managed to block but missed another side kick from his left side.

"Asshole." Eji said throwing his own punches to make Taaru block them and smirking as he went for his leg trip move. But just went he was about to hook it, Taaru matched the move with his own leg wrapping around Eji's and made him lose his balance.

"Using the same trick so soon together means you are out of anything special." Taaru said throwing a thrust into Eji's chest, causing them both to stop in place for a few moments, leaving the crowd on the edge of their seats as they remained in silence. Then, Eji couched up blood and fell back on the ground, making a loud thud when hitting the concrete and the referee rushing to check him out. Taaru remained standing over Eji, looking at the blank stare his eyes were giving to the starry sky.

"Eji is no longer fit to fight," the referee said standing up from the aforementioned fighter, and pointing his arm towards Taaru, he said "The winner is, Taaru Mota!"
The crowd remained silent for a few more moments before erupting in loud cheering. Taaru remained there for a few moments, just staring as EMTs tended to Eji before walking back to Kenta.

"That was great!" Kenta said excitedly hugging Taaru, causing him to wince and Kenta to pull away. "Whoa, you okay?" He asked looking at Taaru's bruised arms and wondered if he had any permanent damage done to him.

"Fine, just need to rest and eat." he said giving him a smile and Kenta chuckled, agreeing to treat him to a good meal later. Kenta stood up straight and walked to the center of the stage where the guy was waiting for him.

"I'd like to introduce you to the new Kengan Matches member, From Toshio Inc. Kenta Toshio." he said, offering Kenta his membership, he took it happily with the crowd cheering him on, making Kenta smile and bow to them for their cheers. From the other end of the garage, Denji was standing with his father, Gou, and two others all watching the match the whole time.

"He joined, but not as planned." one of the others said as they continued to stare at Kenta and Taaru standing there in front of the crowd.

"That doesn't matter." Gou said turning around and walking towards his car, which it's driver opened the door for him and taking his seat with the three standing around the door. "The Square will do what it was meant to do, with or without Kenta by our side." The door closed and the car took off, leaving the three watching it go away before going back to look at Kenta with a wide smile on his face.

After the fight, and the celebration of Kenta joining the Kengan matches at a local bar, the pair was arriving at Kenta's house after a taxi ride.

"You really drink a lot don't you?" Taaru asked Kenta carrying him with his arm around his neck and leading him to the door.

"Sorry, but i needed that after such a long time planning it." Kenta said smiling and sat on the couch with Taaru standing up.

"We can talk in the morning about your end of the deal." Taaru said walking to his room and grabbed the door, opening it slowly.

"I already have names." Kenta said smiling and Taaru turned to look at him in shock with him looking back at him smiling wider, "I was going to show you tonight." Kenta then passed out on the couch and snored slightly as Taaru went to his room to rest smiling.
