They fight together to save a woman from another Orphenoch. Kusaka overhears their conversation and sees them fight the other Orphenoch together. He doesn't like this change. He meets up with Kusaka and convinces him he only attacked him to get into Smart Brain so he could destroy it from the inside. He lies to Kiba and tells him Takumi is the one who can't be trusted.
