Parasite Eve

Okay, ZECT strikes again as they gave two of the Class F members a coughing slip but nevertheless unintentionally saved them from the winged NMC's assaults. I guess this is the last straw for them as they're being treated as a ragged doll for poking their noses on DDS' business. But in the next few chapters these two groups will finally meet face to face.

Right now DDS are now getting more theories on the druid and mutated animal assault links as they see it as more than a mere coincidence. They're taking this a step closer and are now establishing a connection so the DDS sections that got involved are now working together.

The next day, at DDS Mansion, Tomoeda, Sojiro Nishikado and Rui Hanazawa of Class F made several phone calls to various sections whom they soon learn that they too experience similar encounters with the druids and the mutated animals in the past months since the emergence of the druids. The two F-4 members realize that solving this incidence as a separate section would only delay their preparation in future encounters with their attackers, and that time might be fatal so the two opted top contact the others so they could hear their opinions and suggestions, not to mention plans on how to anticipate another surprise attacks from the druids' side.

So far Kyo Renjou and Junior Makuhari of Class R, and Kyuu Renjou and Ryu Amakusa of Class Q were the only representatives of their sections are the to arrive. The Renjou brothers and Ryu came in prepared as they brought their "belts" along, learning their past encounters with the enemy. They were smart enough not to let their guards down again.

Sakurako Yukihira of Class A came and said her groups were involved in solving a minor case so she decided to came here to represent her section. Though that is one of her reason, her other reason (in secret) is to see Kyo.

Ken Kitazawa, Honoka Yukishiro and Nagisa Misumi of Class P arrived next, and Kitazawa told Class F in secret that the Powerpuff Girls Z couldn't make it due to injuries and other obvious reasons. Sojiro nodded and waited for the next section to arrive. He hoped more are coming to help them deal with the current crisis.

Daisuke Motomiya, Takeru Takaishi and Ken Ichijouji of Class C were the next to arrive, with their partners V-Mon and Patamon tagging along just in case their assistances are needed. It is obviously why they came along, after their recent encounters with the NMC's.

Class G was the next to enter the house, and the Super GALS eagerly accepted the invitation since it's their "territory" that's on the line and they too wanted to know the connections between the druids and the NMC's. They also wanted to k now why so many male teenagers age 14 and below are being abducted.

Class T was the last to arrive with Rika Nonoka and Henry Wong showing up with Renamon providing escort, while Terriermon was clutching over Henry's head. They told Class F that Takato Matsuda couldn't make it and Sojiro nodded in reply. He was glad that so many fellow DDS arrived in such a short notice and now they can begin their discussion and debate on finding out who they are facing against and know the possible connection between the current enemy, the Cult Of Illiminites and the previous cult, the Cult Of Makai.

Episode 51: Shirabe no Kyouretsu

Glancing around, Kyuu noticed that Class S isn't here at the moment and Sojiro told them that they were busy at this time solving a case somewhere within Tokyo-Tomoeda border. But then they couldn't wait for them and so the DDS sections decided to begin the discussion but then they got a call from Kazuma in which they were told that Principal Dan wants to speak with the available DDS sections that the computer programming genius could contact in short notice.

Kyuu: "I guess it's a pretty good idea to meet up at DDS. Dan-sensei's opinion might help us in identifying who we're facing…the druids and those armored SWAT-like troopers who popped out at every time we investigate mutated animals…"

Kyo: "At the same time how and where did they took Kojiro Hyuga…"

Sojiro: "let's get going and continue our discussion there…"

And so the students left the DDS Mansion and left Tomoeda for Tokyo as they head for DDS to see why Principal Dan asked them for their appearance. They hoped that it doesn't involve more druids. Meanwhile Kyuu was vaguely sensing a presence and wondered if Eve was contacting her and hoped it wasn't the case. He was already irritated at her attempts to "convince" him to join her side.

- - -

At the cult's base, Eve (in her "default" form, which is Melissa Pearce) is inside her room doing an Indian seat and appeared to be meditating. She is currently following the trail of Kyuu's thoughts, wanting to see what he's doing at the moment and waiting for the time to spite him into accepting his "true destiny". She hoped that Kyuu's DNA is strong enough to take over his body.

"Let's see what you're doing…and to see if your DNA is ripe enough…otherwise I'll just see what entertainment you can show me to pass up the time…"

At DDS, the seven sections were inside the conference room in which Kazuma opened the projection where it showed the various situations where the DDS students got embroiled into and how they narrowly escaped with their lives. Everyone inside were silent as they recalled the events as the 12-year old computer programming genius of Class Q played the series of events that happened several months ago.

- the Powerpuff Girls Z fought the emerging druids and made off with Ryoma Echizen and nearly killed the three girls and Syusuke Fuji when they self-destructed with improvised bombs which leveled the tennis court;

- The warehouse where Misumi and Yukishiro encountered the druids who ransacked unknown equipments and had it bombed in an effort to kill off their victims, in which the two girls managed to escape alive;

- Class A encountered the same druids at a sperm bank and almost got killed;

- Class G fought the in vain as they failed to prevent them from kidnapping Tsubasa Ozora, the Japanese soccer star;

- Class Q, C and T encountering mutated animals within Shibuya and nearby prefectures;

- Class R encountering the druids in Jinbocho and Akihabara, where strange arson-like murders took place;

- Class F encountering Ryoma and learned that he is working with the cult. Also, Tsukasa and Akira learned that Tsubasa also worked with the druids and even injured them as he orchestrated the kidnapping of several under-aged soccer aspirants.

- So far they were able to identify the cult behind the assaults as the Cult of Illuminiutes;

- Melissa Pearce is believed to be the mastermind behind the cases yet they were still in disbelief at how she caused the arson-like incidents to come to fruition.

After that Dan asked the students what they think of this situation and asked them if they're willing to step down in investigating the cases that have been ongoing for several months, seeing that this may be too much for them and didn't want his students to stress themselves too much but was met with a loud "no", seeing how dedicated they are.

Kyuu: "We're not giving up! We'll solve this case no matter what!"

As Dan smiled at this he then brought up another subject matter. The armored SWAT-like troopers that appeared to show up whenever a DDS student gets involved with the bizarre incidents, in which they took away important evidences and made sure no one follows them. Kyuu brought the subject further after telling him his encounter with both Melissa and the SWAT-like trooper along with an armored person dressed like a wasp.

Kyuu: "I encountered him when I was pursuing Melissa…I think that he's after her. I think he's connected to this other organization…he's leading the same troopers that me, Kyo, Ryu and Class G encountered in Shibuya when we were investigating the Shibuya Crash Site."

Ryu: "So far, this other organization seem to be on the good side though I do question their methods and why are they trying to cast us aside…this doesn't make any sense…and really puts doubt on what role they're playing here…"

Kitazawa: "All we can do now is be careful. We're short-handed for now thanks to the cult using high-tech weaponries which puts most of our schoolmates at the hospitals…we don't know who the next person or persons to be attacked…"

As the discussion goes on, Kyuu heard Melissa's voice again and he tried hard to ignore it but her persistence almost got through him that he left the room and went to the rooftop, in which Kyo followed him in secret and when he arrived he could see his elder twin brother shouting at the clouds, which made him suspicious, having heard him mention Melissa's name.

"WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM ME???!!!"

"To join me…join my new era…we will rule the world together…as fellow Mitochondria-warriors…we will be invincible…no one can stop us if you let your body give in…"

"STOP IT NOW!!! GET OFF MY HEAD!!! I'LL NEVER LISTEN TO YOU!!! I'M NOT GOING TO FOLLOW A MURDERER LIKE YOU!!! I'M A DETECTIVE, AND I'LL STOP THE NEXT TIME WE MEET!!!! YOU HEAR ME???!!!! YOU AND YOU'RE CULT WILL BE STOPPED NO MATTER WHAT!!!!! SO BETTER GET READY AS DDS WILL FIND YOU AND PUT A STOP TO YOUR MADNESS!!!!"

Hearing the words made Kyo uneasy as he recalled that only he and Megumi were the only survivors of the opera massacre and wondered if there is some connection between his elder twin brother and Pearce. He clenched his fists as he is torn on whether to confront him about this matter or not, unwilling to jeopardize their ongoing investigation and not wanting to make Kyuu feel uneasy about this.

"Nii-san…what the hell is happening to you??? You've been like this since you first encountered that Melissa Pearce person…and the way you're acting as if you're hearing voices…"

To Be Continued…

Overnight by Aya
(Ending Song from Le Chevalier D'Eon)

Fly, sway, go all the way
I'm in the same fate with you
I feel your beat all around
Wandering in the everlasting way

Forever...
Tears fall, vanish into the night
If I'm a sinner...
Chivalry, show me the way to go

Rise, high, just feel alive
Say a prayer for you today
I still believe in your love
Trace the shadow of truth into the dark

Forever...
Tears fall, vanish into the night
If I'm a sinner...
Chivalry, show me the way to go

Wandering my crying soul
Only you can wipe away my tears

Forever...
Tears fall, vanish into the light...

Sorry for the rather short chapter. I'm still in the process of typing chapters 52 to 60 and I'm determined to finish this fic before the end of the year. Hope you like this one…

Preview:

Paradise Kiss returns…with horrifying results as one of them is revealed to be the villain for that particular story arc. The hint is that this person was shown a few chapters back and I'm sure you can guess who…
