During 2010, Tokio meets another version Kite from the past. After Kite invites him to an area to explain what happened to his friend Orca they‘re attacked by a Data Bug. Kite uses Data Drain to save them but meets Balmung who accuses him of being the same as the virus. Sometime after Kite received an anonymous email, he introduces Tokio to BlackRose and Mistral. Together they discover remains of Harald Hoerwick and later meet with the mysterious hacker Helba. Alongside his friends, Kite defeats Skeith, creates an alliance with Balmung, joins forces with the system administrator Lios and eventually takes part in Operation Tetrapod and their final mission against Corbenik.

Consequent to forming the Twilight Knights Kite began fighting against the members of Schicksal. During The World R:X Kite was facing Schicksal's leader when another user was caught in the encounter. After discovering Tokio is unable to log out of the game a fight ensues. Although Kite's strong, Flugel taunts him and shoots both of them with Brieler Roesse, however the gun has no effect on Tokio. Understanding the situation Kite uses data drain and reverts Flugel into his previous form. Before he's frozen Kite explains that The World is not an ordinary game and tells Tokio to locate his friends and use their powers to open the Akashic Records and log out of the game.
