Oliver and Sayaka instead of going on a regular date were training in Ken's residence again. The two had more fun training swordsmanship together, than going to the mall, or watching a movie. Ken seeing the two students of his smiling happily as they improve in such a fast pace made him feel excited. At this pace they could probably fight Ryu's student after a year or so. That is if they fought using just swordsmanship.

...

While the three of them were having their training routine someone was watching them from a distance. This man was none other than Specter from the Shadow Mercenaries. He couldn't believe his eyes, as he saw a dead man was right in front of him training.

Though the demeanour has changed as well as the size of his body, but that face and the birthmark he had on his left hand as well as Specters feeling of familiarity. His instincts were telling him that the person he was watching was none other than his comrade James Bourne.

Specter couldn't wait anymore and headed towards Oliver.

...

While Oliver was swinging his sword, someone suddenly appeared before him. It was a man wearing an all-black outfit and a white mask. Ken was surprised to see someone got so near without him noticing, as he went into full alert.

”Damn you James! I thought you were dead man. All this time you were just hear having a vacation and flirting with a cute girl.”

Oliver who heard the man wearing a mask call him James and talk as if he knew him made him confused. 'Wait a minute isn't this one of the people in my dreams.'

”You're... Specter right?” Hearing Oliver call his code name made Specter really delighted. His old friend was alive and his still remembered him.

”Why are you talking like that? It's as if you don't know me.” Specter thought that confused look of Oliver was him joking around.

”Sorry but I'm not sure if I do know you...”

”What are you saying James, it's me your old buddy Specter.”

”Is everything alright Oly?” Sayaka felt like something was going to happen so she decided to join the conversation.

”I don't know who you are, and I don't care. Me and my friend over here are talking so don't butt in.” Specter was now a bit agitated since Oliver wasn't responding the way he thought he would, and was irritated by Sayaka suddenly coming in between their conversation.

”Right back at you, I don't know who you are, but don't talk to my girlfriend like that.”Oliver's tone dropped an octave as he spoke.

”You really don't remember me? Then how do you know my code name? It's Margie and Phil they did something to you didn't they... Oh, I see, they used the memory wiper on you. What was the trigger again... Right it was The light of Valhalla is covered by the darkness of Hades.”
