Round Zero: The Four Card Symbols
Rui Hanazawa is back, F-4 fans…but also brought some controversy within this fic. It turns out that he's not HIM at all.
More importantly, who is this guy who uses Rui Hanazawa's image? His blood color is different (color green), he could change into Chalice the Mantis Clow Beast using the CHANGE MANTIS card and yet he's one of the good guys?
Read on to see who this guy is...
And there's going to be a lot of suspense here, not to mention a lot of screaming later on as a conflict is about to brew…

The following day, at the Naoshima General Hospital, Tsukasa Domyouji woke up in his hospital room after a long slumber after his fight with Chalice. As he tries to get up, pain shot on his gut and fell back to bed. Lifting his hospital gown, he was surprised to see that his ribs are bandaged and wondered why he got here. Then he recalled about being summoned by Sojiro and was ambushed by a group of men in army uniforms.
"Finally you're awake. At least you're still in one piece…and no severe damage to you. Before you throw a tantrum, Sojiro is still in danger, as he is being controlled, just like you were.". Turning around, he was surprised that it was Kyo who just spoke, and with him are Tomoyo Daidouji and Meiling Li from Class S; Shugo "Kite" Kunisaki, Anita King and Junior Makuhari from Class R; and Rui Hanazawa himself.
"We're from DDS…and we're here to help and inform you what you were doing in the past few months." Kyo said as he and the rest show to the F-4 leader their DDS badges. Needless to say, Tsukasa is baffled as to why he is here, but to his surprise, he saw Tsukushi asleep on another hospital bed and in a hospital gown.
"No need to worry. She's out of danger. Her parents just left, and this conversation we're about to have will be strictly between us. I know this is hard for you but we don't have much time and choice." Junior replied. "This better be a good one. I don't like suspense…" Tsukasa finally spoke.

Episode 37: Massu no Kouin
Back at B.O.A.R.D. HQ, Isaka is patiently waiting for his contact after confirming that Tsukasa Domyouji is free from his mental control, and realized that the risks are quite severe. Their saving grace is that the F-4 leader will have no memory of the HQ's location since he was unconscious when he was first brought here, and now he'll be needing a new ally now that Garren is his only sole slave under his mental disposal.
"Why not capture him again, and put him under you control again?" the chairman of B.O.A.R.D. suggested, as he was quite worried over the turn of events.
"I would, but it'll be very risky as those DDS brats might follow me here should I attempt to recapture Mr. Domyouji." was Isaka's response. Then the Mole and Rhino Clow Beasts hissed as the visitor finally arrived. It was the Spider Clow Beast, and he looked around the ambience of the HQ.
Back at the hospital, Tomoyo showed to Tsukasa the footage of what transpired in the past few months, both in his normal guise and as Mask Rider Blade. He was turning pale at what he had done, but Anita told him that it was this Isaka who is to be blamed. Meiling then asked the F-4 leader if he know anything about Isaka and about this group if he has any. Unfortunately, Tsukasa gave his reply.
"I…I couldn't recall anything. All I remember is that Sojiro said that he wanted to talk to me then at the next moment, a dozen men in army uniforms pounced on me and drugged me to sleep. After that I felt that I was asleep, and now I just woke up and here I am…". Kyo secretly gritted his teeth, as they are now back to square one in finding and nailing Isaka.
As everyone were still trying to come up with a way to find Sojiro, Tsukasa's mother came in and glanced at her son, but showed little emotion.
"Tsukasa…once you're discharged, we'll leave immediately to another country to help you recover from…", but her words were interrupted when Kyo butted in.
"And the answer is no. We'll need his help in finding the rest of the F-4. You can run away if you like, but don't drag him in.". As the two glared at each other, Tsukasa noticed the spade Buckle at a nearby table and took it, and glanced at it for a while.
"This buckle…does it only work on me?" He asked. "Yup…it seems that his buckle is designed only for you. And here's the proof.".
Kyo removed his jacket and his forearms showed the superficial burn marks, and Anita and Kite did the same, showing signs of burns on their bodies. The younger Renjou began to tell everyone his deduction in regards to the Spade Buckle.
- - - FLASHBACK - - -
An hour ago…
At the parking lot of the hospital, the three Class R members were wondering what to do with the buckle while the F-4 leader is still unconscious. Kyo told the rest how it was used and how to activate it. Junior asked if it could work on other persons, and the rest voted to try it out.
"Who knows…Spider-Man got his powers from being bitten…And Electro…ow!" Kite chirped but was whacked by Kyo.
"Baka! This is real life! Not a comic book! Stop talking stupidly!".
As they voted to try it out, Kite inserted the CHANGE STAG card and the belt is in place. And when he pulled the lever the projection wall appeared and he made a goofy pose and said, "S.P.D., Emergency!" and went right through it, but he was electrocuted instead and was thrown away, the metallic belt strap disappeared and the Spade buckle fell off. Anita checked on him while Kyo decided to give it a try, but as he did the same thng that Kite did, he too got electrocuted and fell to the ground.
"Then it's my turn! Let's see…got it!".
The pink-haired Paper Master wrapped her body in paper armor and inserted the card into the buckle and went through the projection wall. It seemed to work but soon her "paper armor" burned up and she got electrocuted. As she fell down, Junior took the card and buckle and looked at his fallen classmates, who slowly got up but were hurt.
"It looks like it was designed only for the F-4…so then…we can't use it. Very clever of them, I must say. Let's go…better have the nurses patch up your burns…".
- - - END FLASHBACK - - -
"…and that's how it happened…we tried using it to transform, but I only got stunned like being jolted by a manta. Even Anita and Kite here were unable to. I guess this buckle has something to do with your DNA or something. The only way to figure it out is to find out what organization has enough resources to create something like this." Kyo replied, but the Domyouji matriarch butted in, and was against the idea of bring her son along.
"Now hold it there! This is between me and my son, and I forbid you to take him…" "AND YOU CAN GO TO HELL! I'M NOT GOING ANYWHERE! YOU'RE USING THIS AS AN EXCUSE TO KEEP ME AWATY FROM TSUKUSHI! I NOW HAVE A RESPONSIBILITY TO SAVE MY FRIENDS AND TO ATONE FOR WHAT I DID!!" Tsukasa shouted, stunning her mom.
"Then perhaps our only hope now is for the recovery of our friends in Class C." Junior replied. The rest turned to the British DDS student as he continued his speech.
"You see, Sojiro now is Isaka's sole soldier, and he'll be needing two more victims and two powerful Digimons to create the final two devices that enables to activate armors based on the Suit of Hearts and the Suit of Clubs." he replied and then continued his speech.
"Tsukasa here holds this buckle that is modeled after the Suit of Spades. Sojiro is currently the holder of the Suit of Diamonds. If Rui Hanazawa here is captured, he may well be handpicked by this Isaka to be the wearer of either the Heart or Clubs Suits.". While the rest became apprehensive, Kyo remained silent as he is now coming up with a way of executing the next step.
Back at B.O.A.R.D. HQ, Isaka and the Spider Clow Beast came to an agreement, and the Spider Clow Beast left the scene with the Lion, Rhino and Mole Clow Beasts in tow. Isaka smirked as a new plan is about to come to fruition.
In the next few hours, the Spider Clow Beast dispersed a squadron of tiny spiders all over several prefectures, and they secretly attached themselves to any passing teenagers. Once they attached themselves, they sent a wave-like frequency to the Spider Clow Beast and the Spider Clow Beast telepathically told the others to pick up the victims.
And within 30 minutes, the four Clow Beast mauled their victims until they were knocked out, and dragged them towards several army trucks where several possessed army soldiers took the victims and head back to HQ.
