Parasite Eve

I hope last chapter didn't leave your stomachs rumbling after Class A's assigned investigation, but that's part of the story and one of the core aspects of this fic. At least they did get a breaktrough though they almost got killed when the druids staged a daring attack. In the next succeeding chapters you'll soon see why the "Sperm Bank Break-In" story is part of the plot, and I promise you'll soon see the relevance of it.

In this chapter Captain Tsubasa and Super GALS will make their appearance, and by the end of this chapter you'll be treated for a prologue of a fight, but first Class G will showcase their detective skills and flair, not to mention some GAL-crazy escapades.

Shibuya district, it is three days later, and 10 am at the Shibuya bus station. Tsubasa Ozora had just arrived and is waiting for someone to meet him after getting off the bus, and soon another bus arrived and out came several passengers (about 20 of them) getting off, mostly 13 years old and are four years younger than Tsubasa (Tsubasa is now 17 years old). They are here for a seminar and training on soccer and "Bass" (Tsubasa's nickname) was unanimously chosen to train the youngsters on the basics of soccer defense and offense, since the actual trainer will be arriving later this evening.

However, they are unaware that an unidentified van is following them and is intent on watching them. Seeing the number of youngsters totaling about 15 of them, the driver behind the tinted window notified to his superiors about it, and he was told to keep an eye on them and wait for further orders. As Bass and the youngsters left, the van slowly follows and remained hidden.

At DDS, Principal Dan, his staff, Officer Touyama of the MPD, and Police Chief Taizo Kotobuki of Shibuya accepted Dan's invitation and they are now discussing about taking steps in dealing with the druids after another incident in Roppongi district in which Class A narrowly escaped death when the druids did another suicide attack which destroyed the sperm bank that Class A was tasked to investigate.

Each of the people inside offered different views and suggestions but all were far from groundbreaking as they still couldn't agree on what they should do first since they have no leads yet that would identify their suspects apart from the fact that they may be foreigners in nature since the attackers usually killed themselves by blowing up via bomb explosion.

"Gentlemen…please calm down and we shouldn't rush things…the best we can do for now is to add more of your men in patrolling the streets. Have them dressed like civilians so they won't know we are on to them. I admit that these terrorists are well-organized and we too must be organized as well. That should be our first step."

Outside, an escort of one of the Shibuya police officers was listening to the conversation and then left the room and went to a toilet and began to contact someone via his codec, and the conversation was indeed suspicious.

"This is agent ZECT Trooper…come in, ZECT HQ…I repeat…"

Episode 07: Futoboru no Gyakujou

At ZECT HQ, location unknown, a mysterious man wearing a businessman suit and shades, was flickig his flip-top lighter while standing in front of a monitor while another man was seated listening to the intercepted call from the agent who is escorting the Shibuya police. There they got the message about the rampant attack perpetrated by the mystrious druids and the man who reeived the call spoke to the man in shades his worrying view though the man in shades was cool and calm about the situation.

"Sir...aren't you concerned about this? the druid attacks are getting rampant. Male teenagers aged 13 and 14 are being abducted while students from Dan Detective School are being assaulted and nearly got killed. From Roppongi to Shibuya and even in Jinbocho...should'nt we get involved in this?"

But the man in shades made his reply that seemingly made a reasonable rebuttal that made sense to the man sitting i front of the visual controls of the monitor and was seemingly slienced by the answer.

"Does this involved Digmons?"

"No, sir."

"Any Clow Beasts in sight?"

"No, sir."

"Are the Druids non-humans?"

"No, sir."

"Then you got your answer. ZECT is formed and its function is to safeguard Shibuya and Japan from menaces who threaten humanity. The druids are only humans like us...thus the police will handle this case...and DDS since they're the ones who got assaulted."

Then a man dressed like a scientist arrived and showed to him a flash disk and the contents appeared on the monitor which the man in shades looks on with interest, as the monitor showed four colums of tarot-like cards which has the four symbols of the Card Suits after the logo B.O.A.R.D. appeared.

"Sir...we are about to initiate Phase One of our operation ZECTER. All you have to do is choose which of the inages you wish to deelop based on the cards whose data you already saw via the B.O.A.R.D. info."

After three minutes of glancing he took the mouse and clicked the following cards that he sees as a valuable design to make their weapons more powerful than the "Card Suit RIDER System" and is detemined that theirs will be much stronger than the ones who posessed it.

The scientist smiled at the man in shades' choosing and unquestionably heeded the choice his superior made.

"Fine choices, sir. We will start immediately."

With that "Operation ZECTER" is now about to commence.

Thirty minutes later Tsubasa arrived at a vacant, grassy lot where most soccer players use this venue as a training ground, and everyone unpacked and laid a long mat to sit on as Tsubasa started to lecture them on the importance of the basics of soccer, and began by telling them how he started playing and where he began.

"…as you know, we all have ups and downs, but you shouldn't let that hinder you from achieving your dreams so whatever challenges that came in your way, face it and I promise you'll eventually overcome it. I have my own challenges, both in the playing field and in my personal life, but look at me and here I am. I'm now a member of the Japan Team and a starting line-up. I succeeded in overcoming the trials in my life, so you shouldn't feel deterred."

The youngsters were inspired by this and are taking his advice seriously. While the discussion is on-going, they didn't notice that the van was parked near their area, and the driver was watching Tsubasa and the other players sitting at the grass within the soccer area, and began to notify his superiors about the current situation.

"Sir...what do you want me to do next?"

"Wait for backup to arrive. Until then, do nothing and keep watching."

And so the driver of the van continued to monitor the soccer players while awaiting for his cohorts to arrive, which he continues to watch them behind the tinted window. He moved the van behind a large bush as a patrolling police car passes by, and the two cops didn't notice the van which just hid itself there.

Somewhere else within Shibuya, Ran Kotobuki, Aya Hoshino, and Miyu Yamazaki, collectively known as the Super GALS, now the DDS students as Class G, were passing by a subdivision when they noticed an elderly woman sitting by the bench, looking rather depressed. The three girls approached him and asked her what the problem was and there the three slowly get the drift and began to suspect something that something isn't right here.

Old Woman: "...you see, I sold the house four months ago and is now being rented by three men who paid me so they could use it, and then I realize that I left an important parcel at my old closet and I asked the men to let me in so I could collect the parcel I left, but they wouldn't let me in. I plead with them but they wouldn't let me in so I have no idea what to do."

Aya: "I don't get it...why wouldn't they let you in? You're only going to..."

Miyu: "I smell something fishy..."

Ran: "And I know the perfect lure to bait them out..."

And so Class G instructed the old woman to try to talk to the men inside to let her in again while Miyu uses her street-smart skills to get inside while the insiders are distracted while Aya observes the scene behind a huge mailbox while Ran looks around to see if there is a connecting path that leads to the basement of the house as the old woman told her. Soon the old woman tries to get inside but one of the three men shoved her hard, which confirms Class G's suspicions of an inside job.

Man # 2: "We don't know anything 'bout a parcel. Now go away, you oldbitch before we salvage you! Now scram!"

Old Woman: "But I beg you..."

But man # 2 added insult to injury by kicking her on her gut, and then shut the gate and went back in. As Aya went to help the old woman, Miyu was already inside the gate, and went inside the house and hid behind one of the furniture's, and saw two other men holding huge shovels going down and she followed them and discovered that they are digging a hole in the basement area and contacted Ran via her radio.

"Ran…Aya…I'm inside the basement…they're digging a huge hole and are creating their own tunnel…I'm hiding underneath a table…looks like our hunch is right…this is why they wouldn't let the old woman in…but I can't say for sure what the tunnel is for…"

"Stay there and keep watching and stay hidden. I'll look for a way to know where they are heading…pass to me their coordinates and I'll tell Aya to distract the diggers. I believe it's not just treasure that they're after. Ran out."

Class G went to work and began to disrupt the three men's work with Aya ringing on the doorbell to get their attention by disguising as a country girl asking for direction, and of course one of the three men rudely told her to go away, and she persisted by showing him the letter addressed to this house, but the man grabbed her inside and began threatening her.

The other two men continued their digging unmindful of what's happening near them as Miyu was videotaping their digging escapades while Ran found a manhole and went in there, and while inside the sewers she could faintly hear the digging, but then decided to go the other way as she deduced that something is connected to the digging and the route she is in now. After a ten-minute scouting she began to radio Miyu and told her what she found out and then got a counter message in return.

Ran: "Miyu, listen carefully! I think I know why these men won't let the old lady in the house. They're digging a tunnel so they can make a passageway underneath the sewers and make a quick route to a nearby bank. I think that if this keeps up they'll be done digging by nightfall or tomorrow early morning, and then stage a robbery tomorrow night. We'd better step on it and stop them. I'll have Aya call the police and…"

Miyu: "We have a problem…one of the thugs took Aya here…they saw through her disguise and are now interrogating her. I don't think I can stop them on my own…"

Ran: "I'll have the old lady call the police…then I'll join you. Wait for my signal to go in."

Ran then instructed the woman to call for help while she sneaked her way in and hid behind the trees to see if she can be spotted. Seeing that all is clear, she slowly went inside the house and stealthily went to the basement area where she saw the three men manhandling Aya, whose wig fell off and began to shook her violently and she had to wait for the right moment. Aya saw Ran closing in and had to act like she saw nothing while the three men were taking turns in slapping her around. The Super GAL/Class G leader saw the huge volume of dirt being dug and the hole she saw and there she got an idea on how to trap them. Seeing the signal from the Class G leader, Aya began to act like she is innocent despite the bleeding from her lips.

"I told you I got this address from a relative of mine…"

"And you can't fool us…you're that bitch who's with that hag! I bet you called the cops, didn't you??"

"I told you I came all the way from Hokkaido just to…AAHH!!!"

One of the three men began to slap her hard, and Ran and Miyu jumped into the scene and delivered a pair of flying kicks to the two men sending them down to the hole, and then ganged up on the last man who took a shovel to attack the two Super GALS. The two Class G members evaded the assault and bid their time to make a counterattack. Aya recovered from her atackers' slapping and used her bag's shoulder strap to grab the shovel, and Ran did a thrust kick on the man's gut while Miyu did a roundhouse kick to his side, sending him falling through the hole on top of his two cohorts, disabling the three of them.

Minutes later the police arrived and Ran showed to them the three men's plan on ransacking the bank via the hole they made. The three would-be robbers are taken away while an officer facilitated the covering of the tunnel o it won't be used further and the old woman decided to buy back her house. After that Class G was commended for their deeds and word reached DDS on the matter. Principal Dan was pleased with his new students' prompt action on the situation and is proud of them. Now he began to wonder if any of them may become candidates to become his successor.

Back at the grassy lot, After nearly two hours of lecture, Tsubasa decided to let his "apprentices" try out the basics of soccer so he could evaluate on what they should do and which area they should improve on, and are now starting to have a practice game. Behind the bushes, about forty men dressed in druid suits are now standing by and awaiting the "go" signal to begin the assault. They are armed with rifles loaded with tranquilizer darts as they intend to abduct them without causing a noise that would attract attention, and then the druid's squad leader came out from one of the vans (totaling about 10) and approached his men.

"We got the word from our "king"…he says we strike now. Go!"

With that, the druids were positioning themselves behind the bushes and stealthily surrounded the grassy lot and made sure they surrounded the place and began to fire their tranquilizer darts, hitting the youngsters who were sitting on the grass, and it penetrated their arms, slowly sending the youngsters drifting to sleep. Since the rifles have built-in mechanisms that prevent them from making a noise (like a silencer), Tsubasa and the other players didn't notice anything until one of the players noticed the others being sprawled on the ground.

"Hey…are you guys getting bored with our play? You can have your turn…"

"Bass" however finally noticed that something wasn't right and told the others to be on alert, but it was too late as darts flew their way, hitting the others and Tsubasa tried to evade them but one hit him on his leg, and soon he began to feel its effects. He felt more hitting his other leg and arms and was still fighting it but he slowly felt numb, and saw his attackers emerging from the bushes.

"Wh…wha…d-druids…?"

Soon all of the soccer players have fallen and are now being loaded into the vans, as the others look around to see if someone is coming so that they can alert them.

Meanwhile, Officer Yamato Kotobuki was driving within that area after picking up Class G as he learned what they did and decided to give them a lift so they could catch a bus which will bring the to DDS. With Miyu sitting on the front passenger seat, Ran constantly teases the two that they might crash if they attempt to kiss. But then their attentions were diverted when they heard the radio spoke and they all listened carefully at what the voice just said.

"Dispatcher…please cal for back-up…I'm witnessing a kidnapping in progress…they're about 40 of them…they're loading the kids in four of the five vans…they're considered armed and dangerous…they're dressed in druid suits, maybe their the ones that attacked the DDS students…OH FUCK! My partner's been shot! We're under attack!"

Officer Yamato and Class G listened carefully while feeling the tension as the next sound they heard were sirens from responding police cars and the sounds of bullets firing, and there they got a dose of what they're up against. Then the voice spoke from the radio and this became the four passengers' deciding factor on what to do next.

"Shots fired! Shots fired! Mobile # 3 and 4 have fallen! Requesting backup! I repeat! Requesting…AAAHHH!!!!"

The next thing Officer Yamato and Class G heard was an explosion, and they realized that they have to do something and help, so they sped up to get there and stall the attackers until more help arrives.

"That must be the druids who attacked Kyuu and Ryu! Girls better brace yourselves as we might get in to a fight!"

Officer Kotobuki parked his car not far away from the scene of the crime and began using the radio informing his HQ to send back-up, while telling the dispatcher his location. After that he joined Class G in assessing the situation and saw that the druids seemingly matched the description that Class Q, R A and P gave, and saw that some are heavily armed. Near them are two police cars burning and they could see the corpse which they believed to be those of the policemen who radioed for help. Now they have no choice but to wait until help arrive.

However, as half of the prisoners are being loaded, one of the druids noticed them and opened fire. This caused a chain reaction as other druids also open fired, and the four teens hurriedly went behind a thick three for cover and Yamato was unable to fire back as the druids are armed with high-caliber weapons ranging from machine guns to gattling guns. The four of them are now trapped and can't risk getting hit by a hail of bullets.

To Be Continued…

Another mystery solved by a new DDS section…and now they got embroiled with a new set of villains. Can they be able to get out of this mess in one piece? And who will save Tsubasa and the youngsters?

Huh? The cards from Round ZERO appeared, and now this mysterious ZECT, whoever they are, are planning to make their own weapons based from B.O.A.R.D., and this raises a question: good guy or villain? Two organizations show up ,and DDS is now facing the possibility of getting in to a conflict with either of the two organizations. Where will this lead to?

Preview:

The firefight continues and more lives are lost. The Super GALS/Class G decided to take matters into their own hands. See how they can handle this situation without getting killed.
