Decade
Hello, readers! Another Detective School Q fic, but this is not the anniversary fic that I'm advertising about. Rather a one-shot fic and probably a preview on what to expect in the near future. Though Class Q and the rest are here and will be highlighted, this one will focus on an OC (Original Character) who will be the central figure here and will be billed as a central, anti-hero (but not a villain) character.
If you're wondering what the title suggest, decade means "Ten Years", and yes…this is the OC who's going to appear maybe in 2012 (not the future in this fic…I'll be writing a fic on this four years from now, as I'll be writing the anniversary fic from 2009-2010, and another DSQ fic in 2011). While I won't be giving much info on this Decade character, I'll provide some clues on what he's going to do and what role he'll be playing and what connection he has to the characters. But more particularly, this Decade will be targeting a certain DDS student though his motive will intentionally be a riddle which may not be solved until the later date.
Like my previous fic, this will have certain time-traveling elements similar to xxxHolic and Tsubasa Chronicles.
Well, enough said, time to get a move on. Yup, Yuko Ichihara will show up here in a cameo appearance, and so is Clow Reed, so expect a little magic, but more sci-fi scenes.

In what appeared to be Tokyo, Japan, it had a look of a modern-day look and the landscape is akin to a real world. Cities, cars, normal-looking people…it all looked the same. Everything is normal and there are no traces of any discrepancies…except that…the clothing of the people seemed to resemble that of another world: royal-looking, majestic…commoner-garbed. Then there are flying carpets, flying dragons…people wielding magic staffs…that is something that doesn't tell that this is the REAL Japan.
At the top of a skyscraper, there is a 15-year old boy standing there looking down at the ground below. He was watching the people walking the pedestrian lane and cars moving. Looking up you could see several people traveling via brooms and magic staffs and then he looked at his hands. He wondered what to do with them since he acquired them through unknown means, and he wondered if using them in his forthcoming battles with his chosen targets would be worth the time even if it means killing them.
In his left hand appeared to be a belt buckle which is futuristic and high-tech in nature, which also suspect that it may have something to do with the origin of that belt…since he acquired it through mysterious means. He glanced closer to it and wondered if this will help him in his mission and if this will further aid him in his battle since it is said it will give him more power than the average fighter - - magical or technological.
In his right hand are cards…but they are not just any cards…they resembled that of data cards. Cards made from raw data and are technological in nature. However, when the back of the data cards are shown, it revealed the wings that resembled that of the Sakura Cards. Even the symbol of the Sakura Staff is also imbedded. Sighing, he shuffled the cards and turn around, his back facing the audience (the readers, actually) and then metallic belt straps appeared from both sides of the buckle and attached behind his waist. Then he showed to the audience (again, the readers) the data card (only the back portion) then seemingly placed it in front of his waist and a transformation occurred. Digital light enveloped him and the background light appeared to resemble barcodes and soon the light became too bright to see, and when the light faded the boy turn around and the audience could now see what he has become. He now resembled combination of a stag beetle and a Hemiptera (or "true bug"), his armor color are a mix of red, black and white with barcode designs.
Now that he is powered up, he went to a nearby table and opened a laptop and the LCD showed images of several persons. It turns out that these people in the image are his intended targets and it means that he'll have to fight them…even if it means killing them in order to achieve his goals, whatever these goals are.
"Sorry…all of you…but this is something I must undertake…for this mission a life is at stake…I do not want to take your lives…but this is meant to be…I know I don't belong to your dimensions but I must do this whatever it takes…"
He then glances at one image and his knuckles trembled for he is among the targets that must be eliminated. He is Kyuu Renjou, that of another dimension of Japan. He is hailed as one of the most promising detectives there, and now it is a possibility that Kyuu's native dimension would lose one of its pioneering detectives. Seeing enough, Decade shut down the laptop and hid it somewhere safe. He head towards the edge of the rooftop and jumps down. Descending head-first, he looked down and is breathing deeply as he is halfway down before a blinding light flashed around him and slowly disappeared leaving a trail of barcodes before any witnesses could see him.

At another building which is a cross of a corporate building and a semi-modern day palace with regal ambience, a businessman resembling Fei Wong Reed, is reading a newspaper when another man, resembling a magical wizard, both in physical and clothing attire, entered the room and he seemingly resembles Jafar (from Aladdin) and is talking to him.
"Sir…is it really wise to send him to do your work even though there's a possibility that he might betray you and abandon his mission? It's not that I question your judgment but as your advisor I…"
"Fear not…he knows what's at stake…if he chose to abandon it then it will be his loss and not mine…and I can replace him anytime if he show signs of rebellion. Also I can banish him to another dimension with no means of returning…simple as that…so no worry, my friend…all is well and he should be here by now…"
Then the light of barcodes materializes and appeared is the 15-year old boy who is already encased in his armor. He was standing rather defensively but tried not to earn Reed's wrath or the deal is off. He and Fei Wong Reed had a stare down before words intervene.
"Hello, Tsukasa Kodoya…I'm pleased that you've arrived here just in time. Care to have some refreshments…or snacks…or some…"
"No. I'm here because you have to power to send me to my first target. Let's get this over with so I can finish it."
"Ah…the direct approach…I admire that in a teenager…very well…to the rooftop, please…"

At the rooftop Fei Wong Reed and Jafar are standing at the right side of the roof while the 15-year old boy is standing to the other side. He was gritting his teeth as he knew that the two men were behind his current dilemma but had no proof. All he had to do is trust them and then he braced himself as the two wizards chanted a spell and a circle appeared underneath him and Tsukasa Kadoya slowly descended into the circle. He was sent to the dimension where he will meet his first target.
After he left the two wizards smiled and went back to their office.

At Japan, in another dimension, this dimension appeared to be the REAL world and everything is normal here. Kyuu Renjou was walking near an abandoned bar when he heard a chime of a ringing sound and he knew that something is amiss. Looking at a window he saw another person emerging from the window's reflection. It was another Kyuu, except that his clothing's emblems are reversed and he knew that the Kyuu-look-alike is from the Digimon world.
"You're from the Digital World!"
"Come and get me…you're parallel self wants to challenge you…"
He Kyuu-look-alike retreated and the real Kyuu stood in front of the window's reflection and took out a card deck with a dragon's symbol engraved and a metallic belt appeared and attached on Kyuu's waist. He did a pose and chanted "henshin" and inserted the card deck into the holster of the belt and is encased in a red and white armore. He became the Zodiac Fighter Red Futagoza (Red Gemini) and went inside the reflection, and when he arrived there the Kyuu-look-alike stood there and did the same, a card deck, a belt, and when he inserted it he too was encaded in an armor, and is similar to the real Kyuu, except that his armor was black, and he became Black Futagoza (Black Gemini). A black Dragon-Digimon came behind its master and Kyuu summoned hi, which is red. Before the two Gemini are about to engage in a battle the light with barcodes appeared and Tsukasa Kadoya appeared. The two Gemini fighters were stunned for Tsukasa Kadoya is actually an identical version of Kyuu.
"Who…who are YOU?? You looked just like me!"
But Kodoya said nothing and initiated his transformation to Decade and now he is ready to fight. Seeing him as a mere obstacle Black Futagoza initiated his Final Vent and did a Black Dragon Kick, but then Decade moved in a blinding speed and a laser saber appeared and cut down his black-colored opponent in two as well as killing his Digimon partner and they exploded. As the smoke cleared Decade emerged and spoke to Red Gemini.
"Kyuu Renjou…it's nothing personal and I have no hatred towards you…but I m must kill you."
Decade then lynches towards Kyuu in his Zodiac armor and the Class Q leader braces himself as he assume Survive Mode.

At a shop, Kimihiro Watanuki, Maru and Maro were eating popcorn while watching the scene via a giant crystal ball as Yuko Ichihara looks on, seeing that Fei Wong Reed is up to no good, for she seem to know what Tsukasa Kodoya (aka Decade) is going through, yet she opt not to interfere.
"Miss Yuko…are you sure we shouldn't interfere and help…? Killing Kyuu Renjou of several dimensions might cause a rift in time and space…"
"Do you think Mr. Kodoya would appreciate it? And what would you think would happen when Fei Wong Reed find out that I'm here? We'd be in trouble if we act prematurely. The best we could do is wait and see."
Abiding her advice, Watanuki chose to stay out of the way and went back to the kitchen to make more popcorn.

Well, that's my REAL last fic of Detective School Q for this year…think of this as my Christmas present to you readers. At least this will keep you busy until my anniversary fic, Parasite Eve, will be ready within March or April of next year.
Though I can't tell you more about Decade at this point, all I can say is that this fic was inspired from both Tsubasa and xxxHolic. I'm starting to watch the series again via subtitles, at least I'm getting some pointers on that. And note that the Kyuu battle is taken from my previous work, Koudoutai: Episode FINAL. Sorry for the cliffhanger on the Kyuu-Decade battle, it was intentional as it was meant to be a teaser. You'll see more of it come 2012.
