Still unexperienced on true power, he lost and left his mentor in search of the deep and dark fantasies.

Despite all, they retained a certain level of brothership over being gachi stars.

However, Aniki can't bring himself to let him die either, since he's all that's left to him since Ricardo's gone, even if Van had betrayed him... but Van just sees his words a pitiful, something Ricardo would be ashamed of. When Aniki gets angry, the guard Joshua Graham shows up... but it turns out to be a disguise of a familiar face. Gold had survived alone all those years and even the rumbling, and had become a "beastmaster". More than that, the hardest thing yet was returning and learning what had become of Van.

But, Van only stopped being a Master of the Locker Room because he had to destroy it himself, annihilate all who fail. That's why they tried to take over TFR, why he came to destroy this factory... and even why he destroyed The Gym.

However, Van's has acquired too much power even for the fully accomplished Pokemon Master. Before he takes him out, Aniki notices the camera footage of Wesker Bravo and Boomer taking away with all the Dimes.

Chris breaks into a rage and punches him while asking incoherent questions like if they've dealt with any strange material lately (which Date is very interested about), but Piers gets him to calm down, and Chris offers him a deal: If he reveals information about the steel case, he won't be in the same cell as the 7 criminals from the night of 1992; Heavyweight however never saw any cases, and Shimano would have taken it from him even if he had it.
