Seeds Of Agito
This chapter brings a lot of shocker as you get to see a preview of what would happen if those who have the "mystical seed" have partially activated, and thus the people "chosen" have the potential to become Agito. Here three of several persons who have the seed will be shown on how they got the seed, though it also means how they acquired it since some (such as Mio Fuuma) were not on the Akatsuki Ferry when the Lords first attack.
At the G3 Trailer, Icchan was startled to hear Minoru and Hotoku's voices getting louder while watching the scene via G3's helmet since it is also connected to their computer.
"Whoa…that thing even has a belt similar to Agito…"
"Chest area hit! Energy 75 %..."
"Agito's been hit!"
"Another hit! G3's energy pack down at 61%..."
"This isn't good…even with Agito helping Fuu…the G3 suit couldn't cope with this new attacker…and if this keeps up, Fuu may get into danger…looks like we'll have to call for reinforcement…thankfully Kojima iosn't here or else…it'll be another…"
The scene shifts back to the warehouse as G3 and Agito kept on fighting her and things are not looking good, as Gills is strangling Agito on her neck just as she slapped G3 aside, but G3 managed to tackle her and Agito broke free, which enraged her and does a knee-strike to her opponent's gut, and this caused G3 to kneel down in pain, and from there, Gills did the Jumping Heel Stab, and though G3 managed to evade it, she wasn't lucky enough, at that moment, as she looked up, Gill's heel spike struck her helmet, and slicing iut into two, but since Gills saw Agito standing up, she didn't get to see Fuu's exposed head and she blindly kicked her aside, sending her head-first to the pillar, and there G3's communication with the G3 Trailer was cut off.
"Fuu! Fuu! What happened? Respond!"
"We lost contact! Icchan! Call the MPD!"
"Darn it!"
Back inside the warehouse, Agito was shocked to see G3 unmasked as she recognized who is the armor and saw her left temple bleeding and is knocked out, and this made her worry a lot at the situation she just got into.
"Wha…? Fuu? She's this G3 al this time? All along?Why didn't she tell me? Blast! She in bad shape! I'd better do something or she's going to get killed! Maybe this is better this way…she'll freak out if she finds out I'm Agito…maybe one day I'll tell her…"
As Agito was about to scoop up the unmasked G3, Gills roared and tries to strangle her opponent from behind yet Agito managed to kick her back, and since Fuu is facing down, she wasn't able to recognize her, so her assault towards Agito hasn't faltered. Agito is now torn on whether to get Fuu out or continue fighting Gills, though she really intend to go for option # 1.
"Geez…will you knock it off? I got an injured friend here and all you do is scream…"
Agito started to think of something to keep Gills occupied in order to get Fuu out of here to save her from suffering from massive injuries brought about by Gills' assault. She can tell how massive the strike to her head is and if untreated immediate it would mean eventual doom for her.

51: Meikingu no Hoka no Agito
As Gills is preparing to initiate her next strike, Agito is glancing between Fuu and Gills, trying to think of a way to get her out of here while trying to think of a plan to disable Gills so she and Fuu could escape, but she couldn't risk having Gills going after her so she saw several crates dangling behind Gills and an idea is formed and this would give her the chance to make an escape.
She immediately changes into Storm Form and summoned the Storm Halberd ad does her attack, causing several crates to pin down Gills, and Agito picks up Fuu and fled. As she got up, she became more agitated upon seeing that Agito has fled, and her quest for vengeance intensifies, and screamed louder while pounding the floor, her chance to avenge Teruo's death was denied…for now.
At the crime scene, Teruo's corpse was taken inside the ambulance and is heading for the morgue, while Kojima, displeased that he wasn't there to capture both Agito and Gills, vented his displeasure on Kyuu by assuming that he was there and played an accomplice, which Kyuu denies, and tried to handcuff him when other officers pointed out that Kyuu was shown to TV trying to aid Agito in stopping Gills, and the disgruntled officer had to stand down.
At the corner, Umi stood there, her face full of tears at seeing her beloved taken away, and clenched her fists as she vowed to make Agito pay for what happened to Teruo, and walked away, not noticing that she passed by the G3 Trailer as Fuu is being unloaded and placed in an ambulance. Inside the G3 Trailer, the discarded G3 exo-suit is there, though the body armor is somewhat dented but still usable, the helmet suffered heavy damage brought about by Gills.
A few days later, Hikaru was among those who attended Teruo's wake, and Umi shows up unexpectedly, and both Hikaru and Teruo's parents saw Umi's face filled with tears and were surprised as the blue-haired DDS student rushed towards the coffin, flung the lid open and hugged the body, crying out loud. Hikaru and Teruo's parents rushed to her side had her release the body while calming her down, as they equally shared her pain in losing someone important to them. Kyuu arrived late and saw this, and looked at the floor, as he too was saddened that he couldn't do anything to help.
"Darn it…I wish there was something I could do to put a stop to these Unknown attacks…and even DDS is having difficulty in solving this problem…if only I could discern the attack patterns and establish a motive so I could come up with a lead to get to the bottom of this…"
In the next few days was Teruo's funeral, and al those who were close to him are in attendance, with Kyuu and HIkaru trying to sooth a weeping Umi as the coffin is finally lowered and buried to the ground, and the Toyota parents thanked those who attended for their support and being their son's friends, while assuring Umi that Teruo is now at peace.
"No…you have no idea…your son will never get peace until that "thing" is dealt with…once I've taken care of him…then your son can rest peacefully…until then…I'll find that monster and make him pay for murdering my boyfriend…I'll use whatever resources DDS have…and put an end to these Unknown attacks…"
A week later, Fuu is steadily recovering, though she remained unconscious and is still confined at the Tokyo General Hospital. Hikaru paid her a visit to see how she is doing, and yet she is torn on whether if she should confide to her that she is Agito, but in doing so might put her in a dilemma since she knows about the MPD's "Capture AGITO campaign", and after a few minutes of silent thinking, she decided to keep it a secret for now.
"Sorry, Fuu…I think now isn't the right time to tell you this…I know we're best friends…but I can't put your well-being at risk since you got a good position at the MPD. That Unknown whacked you up and now you're here…I guess you'll have to set this on out and leave the Unknown hunting to me…"
By then, Superintendent Touyama and his son Kinta came and were surprised to see her, since only MPD officials are aware of this, and the guard outside Fuu's hospital room told the elder Touyama that he let her in because she showed him her DDS badge. Hikaru then approached the two and told them her statement.
"Sirs…I know that my friend here operates that armored suit that belonged to the MPD, because I happened to witness it, and rest assured that I'll keep this a secret from everyone else…even at DDS. Please look after her. She's my best friend…"
"Thank you, Shidou…I'm glad you said that…"
"Hikaru…anyone else knows about this…?"
"Just me, Kinta…just me…"
"Good. Me, my dad, and Dan-sensei are the only ones who knew about Fuu being G3…and right now dad told me that a friend of his is trying to upgrade the G3 suit so that the Kojima-jerk won't do anything to win the MPD higher-up's affections…"
"Yeah…"
And so, the three of them came to an agreement of secrecy for Fuu's protection in order to keep her and her family safe from other criminals and Unknown attackers. They are also worried that Kojima might take advantage of this to "charm" his way through the top to make himself the "top dog" to replace G3 with his own ideas.
Later within the day, at the Metropolitan Police Department, Kojima was berating the police for not apprehending Agito, as a flashback scene showed that Agito was carrying the unmasked G3 out of the warehouse and brought her to the G3 Trailer where Icchan and the others are there, while the police are there as well, they saw Agito gently placing Fuu inside the G3 Trailer and slowly left, and the police did nothing as they saw her as an ally after seeing her on TV and how Agito saved Fuu. But the leader of the squad defiantly shoved Kojima back and stood his ground, resulting in a shouting match, but the leader of the board of directors told the two to forget it and instead focus on what to do next.
Then, while inside the conference room, Kojima was talking with the "higher-ups" to present his proposal which he stated that after showing the footage of Gills beating up Agito and along with the wrecked G3 suit, a new battle suit is needed and bragged that this would be a lot better than the G3 suit itself.
"Gentlemen…look at the slideshow…the blueprint of my proposed battle-suit…which I dubbed it…the Project V-1 System…and I assure that if you give us funding…we will work on it immediately and it will be as twice as stronger than the G3 suit…enough power to deal both Agito and that green-scaled monster…"
By then Tomoyo came in and showed to the board of directors her slideshow and the blueprint, which Kojima laughed it off seeing that this was the same blueprint of the G3 suit, and started mocking her for being "repetitive", yet she started countering his comments with hers.
"True…the blueprint is that of G3…but if you looked closely, there are some changes…and modifications after watching all of the footages of G3's battles, I realized that there are some areas of improvements needed, and after seeing what this green-scaled Unknown did to Fuu…and how it gave Agito a lot of difficulties, I made more modifications…and this is more of an upgrade. Gentlemen…this is my proposal: Project G3-X."
Kojima and the others looked on, and a loud debate took place, and Kojima was quite irritated, yet he welcomed this development as he became confident his proposal would be a sure hit after the director decreed that once both proposals reached the final stage, a duel would be held and a trial will take place to see of which proposal will be used to combat stronger Unknown.
Later that night, The Overlord of Light, disguised as a passerby, was sitting by a bar eating, and saw the footage on TV on how Gills and Agito fought each other, and realized that this is not what he had hoped for, and started to think of a way to get the two to join forces.
"This is not good…at this rate, the Overlord of Darkness would surely take advantage of this…and might use Gills' emotion to turn to the dark side…I've got to make a move before HE does…but first I must know who Gills' identity is…"
As the Overlord of Light left, he began walking around the neighborhood and passed by Megumi's apartment, where he recalled that he encountered a certain little girl 12 years ago, where he gave her a seed before leaving. Twelve years ago…at the Tokyo Research Center, a certain little girl, pink-haired, with pigtails, was playing along wit another little boy, who has blue hair, and while no one is looking, the Overlord of Light then threw a seed towards the little girl's belly, and left. There the seed made a drastic change which resulted in giving her the "gift" of photographic memory.
By the time she reached the age of 11, it was the onset of puberty and she started to have her first, painful menstruation, and while sleeping, her pain is still felt, but then an Agito belt was formed yet it quickly disappeared. Fortunately, since she was asleep, she didn't notice it, and had she did, her photographic memory would keep this fact in her head for years to come.
As the Overlord of Light left, he passed by Kazuma's mansion, where he recalled eight years ago he also secretly gave him a seed, which, eight years later, would make him a computer programming genius, and he sighed in relief at the turn of events.
"Megumi Minami and Kazuma Narusawa…I'm glad you have received those gifts I gave you…and now you are using them for benevolent deeds…but then be prepared…for one day you too will become Agito…just like Hikaru Shidou did…and I hope you use them for good instead for personal vengeance…"
As the Overlord of Light left, the night went on and both Megumi and Kazuma began to experience body pain, which the Class Q beauty believed it was an effect of dysmenorrheal bout, and ignored it and tried to go back to sleep, not noticing that an Agito belt formed but quickly disappeared before she had the chance to clutch her belly. Kazuma also felt body pain, but his Agito belt hasn't shown up yet, which made him recall what he saw last time at the old school building of DDS, inside the secret room.

Now it is confirmed…the Overlord of Light was the one who gave Megumi and Kazuma the "seeds" that resulted in giving the two Class Q members the "gifts", as opposed to the manga where they inherited it. All that it leaves now is what would happen if either one or both of them turn into their respective Agito form…something neither of the two are prepared for this eventuality.
Poor Umi…now she's more pissed than ever…and Agito will have problems trying to tame Gills, who is secretly Umi. But how will she be able to without exposing herself and Umi doing the same? And what would happen if they ever learned each other's identities?
While Fuu recovers, Kojima tries to charm his way through, this time using another proposal to replace the G3 suit but Tomoyo beats him to the punch with her own proposal, an upgrade to the G3 suit.

The next chapter shows a two-part arc where Kuniko is "introduced" as a new DDS student, and at the same time another Unknown is on the prowl, targeting a DDS student…
