After George Koizumi appeared on stage and began to unveil "Para-Kiss", he told the people inside the building that they will avail themselves to discounts on the first week of the store's opening and it'll be accessible to all, from the rich to the lower class. This was good news to all but are unaware that it was all a trap.
Nagisa: "Wow…Koizumi looked upbeat after spending months of captivity at the hands of the druids…guess he wasn't traumatized by the incident…"
Sakura: "I'm not sure…I have a bad feeling about this…"
Momoko: "You know…this eerie feeling is the same as what Kaoru felt since Ryoma Echizen resurfaced and it was through her that we learned that he was…well…villainous…"
Honoka: "Though we're not in DDS right now…we should be on our guard…"
At that moment Tomoyo and Miyako came to the others and told them a startling revelation which made the six DDS students feel the tension and started to sense something is wrong.
Miyako: "The doors are shut tight…I couldn't budge my way through…"
Tomoyo: "Aside from that, even the fire exits are locked…something is indeed not right here…worse…the signal from my cellphone has no signal even from Miyako…"
Sakura and the rest also checked their mobile phones and they too noticed that the signal is out and are now contemplating on what to do next until the terror has commenced as some of the guests began to feel strange and stated to undergo a horrifying, transmogrifying transformation. One by one some of the guests were turning into mutated animal-like beings as they increased in size and their clothes ripped off Incredible Hulk-style, and the dogs also underwent the same process.
The other guests were starting to panic and tried to get out but realized that the doors were locked and are now trapped. The in a matter of seconds the bloodbath begins as the mutated beings began to chomp away on their prey and the room was filled with screams and roaring.

Episode 53: Fasshonsho no Gyakujou part 2
A few blocks from the scene of the crime, Melissa Pearce was awaiting a druid coming towards her to submit his report on what is happening inside the fashion show building much to her delight after being told about the carnage being ongoing.
"Mistress…all is going according to plan…the dogs at the fashion show in which we secretly injected with your DNA has worked and they are now mutated…Koizumi has also did his part and is about to leave the area. Should we wait and see until the carnage ends?"
"No…we've done enough here…if we stay we might be seen…and it'd be too premature to expose ourselves. Let's go and be on our way…I'm sure King Tut has been recording the carnage from the base. There we can enjoy the view from there…"
But before the van was about to start its engine someone stepped in right in front of them and this surprises the druids. It was Kyuu, as he happened to pas by the area and saw her in open view and now he's taking the chance to confront her and get some answers straight from her. Melissa was smiling as she get to spite the DDS student while the druids were rather defensive and are now brandishing their weapons but she told them to step aside.
"No, my soldiers…this is my fight and I intend to face him alone. So, my child…have you come to join our noble cause…? I'd appreciate it if it's a "yes"…"
"I already gave my answer…and that's a "no". Surrender now or…"
"You know what you're saying, my boy?"
"I'M NOT YOUR DAMN BOY!"
At that moment Tsubasa Ozora emerged from the corner of the alley after watching the scene for some time, and he was really curious as to why Eve was determined to get Kyuu to join their side and their cause. He really wanted to know what she sees in the 15-year old boy from DDS. He decided to see what he's made of and to determine whether getting him to join the cult would be a big asset or a huge liability.
"Mistress…you should head back to HQ. Leave that boy to me. I wanted to have a word with him. I really wanted to know him more if he's really worth your time or not."
Melissa was quite surprised to see that the soccer ace was observing Kyuu for sometime, and guessed that he is hesitant to have the DDS student join the ranks and believe that he distrusts her judgment but nevertheless went along just to see if Kyuu is about to give in to his cells…the Mitochondria DNA.
"Very well then…now, Kyuu-dear…if you managed to get past Mr. Ozora, then we will meet in a very private place…until then, think about my offer…I'm sure we'll get along just fine…ha-ha-ha-ha…Tsubasa-dear…he's all yours for the taking…just be gentle with him…"
As Melissa boarded the van, the vehicle left leaving the DDS student and the possessed soccer player behind, and a face-off ensued and the battle is about to commence, yet Kyuu remained unaware of what's happening at the fashion show building and Tsubasa is making sure the Class Q leader won't make another move to get past him.
Unknown to the two, an 18-year old teen was standing behind the two hiding from an alley and is holding what appeared to be a high-tech camera, awaiting for the two teens to make their move while waiting for the right moment to take a picture, which is aimed at Tsubasa.
"Once I took a pivture of you as Kabuto…then I can take that Kyuu's life. At least it's a better way to get him instead of relying on TheBee…"
"So, you're the one called Kyuu…"
"What about it?"
"The mistress mentioned to my master that she met a boy who seem to rival hers in terms of power…and when she showed to him the picture, well…I was dumbfounded that the boy turn out to be you…though I was curious as she mentioned that you were the only one to withstand her power. Tell me…what does she see in you that warrants her willingness to induct you to our cult?"
"I already told her that I'm not interested…"
"Yet she persists that you join us…but for me this is a big risk. But for the sake of curiosity…I'm willing to take that risk…show me what kind of power you have…"
"I'm no Superman and I'm not a mutant…"
"Yet she claims that you were not affected by my mistress' combustion power? If that's what you claim…why did she gave too much importance in persuading you to join us???"
"I don't know what she wants and I have no intention of joining this cult…Tsubasa…I know you've been brainwashed and I can help you…turn yourself in and we can restore you to normal…"
"Nice try, you DDS jackass…but I'm not biting the dust…!"
Raising his right hand, the Beetle Zecter flew out of nowhere and landed on Tsubasa's hand and then inserts it on his Zecter Belt. Kyuu braces himself in return by punching the codes on the Beta Phone before inserting it on the Beta Belt.
Tsubasa: "Henshin!"
Beetle Zecter: "HENSHIN…"
His bulky armor slowly materializes all over his body and the possessed soccer player is encased in his armored for of Mask Rider Kabuto, and is ready to take the fight to the next step while awaiting for Kyuu to finish his transformation to his armored form.
5-9-8 ENTER
Beta Phone: "STANDING BY…"
Kyuu: "Rider Change!"
Beta Phone: "COMPLETE…"
After that he inserted the Beta Phone onto the center holster of the belt and black light with bright blue linings appeared and slowly covered his body and moments later he is encased in a black armor with blue accent with a firefly motif. He is now Mask Rider Beta and now the two are ready to rumble. Beta initiated the first attack rather than waiting for Kabuto to strike first. However, the armored Tsubasa was quite agile being a soccer player and moved away just moments from being caught by Kyuu's metallic fist.
It was then that Kabuto took his turn and took out his Kunai Gun and initiates "Gun Mode" and opened fire, almost hitting the armored Class Q leader but he narrowly hid behind an adjacent alley and took out the Beta Phone and adjusted its form taking an appearance of a pistol and returned fire. The gunfight took over five minutes due to Beta pausing briefly to recharge his phone and Kabuto took advantage of it.
As the firefight continues the 18-year old teen was watching the scene and is seemingly waiting for the right moment to strike as he felt this isn't the time yet to take Kabuto's picture. But then the next moment decided the next course of action the teen would take.
As Beta managed to knock the Kunai Gun from Kabuto's hand, Beta ran towards him in an attempt to tackle him but failed to notice that Kabuto had already flipped the switch-like Zecter Horn on the Beetle Zecter over, causing his bulky armor to slightly "fall off". But before Kyuu could realize this and tried to stop, Kabuto gave out a voice command.
Kabuto: "Cast Off!"
Beetle Zecter: "CAST OFF!"
The bulky armor dispersed and became debris and head for Beta's path but Beta narrowly ducked underneath and when he got up, Kabuto is s till armored but in a sleeker design and his helmet had an appearance of a real beetle, which is now in "Rider Form" which is now a more threat than his "Masked Form". Undaunted, Kyuu decided to try out a risky plan in hopes of getting the upper hand and he took out a memory chip and inserted it on his wrist watch attached in his armored form.
After that he undergoes a transformation similar to Kabuto in which shoulder pads and reveal the Beta Core in the center of the chest. The Sol Foam remains black, while the Photon Streams turn silver and the Ultimate Finder turns bright blue and "Start Up" begins, which slightly took kabuto by surprise as he moved at fast speed and landed a pair of punches on his helmet.
"Not bad…but two can play that game…Clock Up!"
Slap the Switch-pads on the hip of the belt, Kabuto now moves in the same speed as "Accel Beta" and now the tables are even as both fighters attack at the same time though all Kabuto did was punch, kick and block, and Beta was now having difficulty in getting an opening. Since Beta assumed "Accel Form" three seconds earlier, his time would expire soon since this form lasts for only ten seconds. And unfortunately his time expired and he reverted to default mode.
Once Beta has reverted after "Time Out", the Mission Memory keys are returned to its respective holder. The transformation usually fatigues user since the Accel Form has never been done 2 times in the same scene, and Beta is a sitting duck as Kabuto has three more seconds and delivered a fast-speed soccer kick to his gut, sending him crashing against a parked car.
At this point, the photographer called Kabuto's attention and the armored soccer player turn around and took his picture, much to Kabuto's surprise. He then took out the picture which became a digital photo card with Kabuto's picture and data attached to it.
"Thanks for the pic. Is it okay if I have something to do with Kyuu?
"Which is…?"
As Beta got up, he was still exhausted but was shocked to see who the third person is.
"You…you're that guy who attacked me in Shibuya…!"
"That's right…you're lucky you survived…but this time I'll make sure I kill you before you get the chance to escape. Sorry, but that's how it is…"
Kabuto was quite amused to see that someone else wants to kill Renjou, so he just stood there and wait for the Class Q leader about to get killed, when someone steps in and blocked his path. It was a woman and the photographer seemingly recognized her. It was Hikaru Sindou and she was pissed at the photographer, who turned out to be Tsukasa Kodoya, aka Decade!
"You…you killed my friend…and then the little boy Kyuu…now you're going to commit another murder??? I won't let you!!!"
"How did you get here???!!!"
Instead of replying, Hikaru went for a meditating-like pose while the Alter Ring belt appeared around her waist and presses the button-like devices on both sides of the Alter Ring belt, and soon she is enveloped in a strange light, and then she is now encaded in an armor that has black, white and gold designs. Her helmet had red, bug eyes while the rest of her helmet had a vague look of a golden Chinese dragon. She is now Mask Rider AgitΩ.
"So…you think you'll win over me as Agito? Guess I'll have to use my newest acquisition…"
The photographer, Tsukasa Kadoya, took out a belt-sized camera and placed it in front of his waist and a metallic belt strap is formed and took out a data card which he inserts it inside. Moments later a projection wall appeared and enveloped the teen in black armor from head to toe while data card-like projections entered towards the armored teen's helmet, giving it a barcode-like appearance while his bug-like eyes turn green and his entire helmet now resembled a striped shield bug. He became Decade and now he and Agito grappled at each other and began to brawl, which Kabuto finds it entertaining.
"Hmm…wonder if I could invite him to join our cult? He's bad-ass attitude suits our cause better than that Kyuu…"
After pummeling Decade with some punch and kicks, Agito then assumes Flame form. The Flame Form's capabilities, triggered by activating the right switch on the Alter Ring, 'opening' the "Red Dragon's Eye." The searing power of flame flows through the right arm and blesses the red body of the Flame Form with incredible strength. Decade managed to hold on his own but realized that he has to avoid getting captured so he decided to try out the Data Card he just acquired. Kabuto was surprised to see Decade holding a data card with his picture attached and after inserting it inside his belt Decade now assumed Kabuto's form.
"What the…?? How did he do that???!!!"
Decade-Kabuto then took out another data card and this time he possesses the "Clock Up" power up and began to beat the hell out of Agito with punches and kick but in the midst of the attack Agito caught Decade-Kabuto by his arm and grappled with him and a portal appeared in which Decade-kabuto and Agito fell through and disappeared as the portal closes and dissipate, leaving Beta and kabuto alone.
"Well, then…it's you and me again…too bad the mistress isn't here to make me change my mind and…sorry, DDS boy, you're not my type to join our little family…"
But then a radio called and Kabuto answered, which came from King Tut and told him to report back to HQ, and though he wanted to argue, Tut threatened to sing another song which made Kabuto whine and he was forced to retreat via "Clock Up", leaving the armored DDS student behind. Reverting back to normal, Kyuu ws dumbfounded as to what is happening and that his chances of getting answers from Eve was marred by interferences.

As the screams get louder and louder, the tension gripped the locked room as the people who turn into NMC's began chomping away at the people, while the dogs did the same, turning into mutated, rotweiller-like beings. The Para-Kiss crew, Miwako, Arashi, Yukari and Isabella saw Koizumi left the room and locked them in, and they saw him display an evil grin as he showed to them the keys as left. They were terrified as they never thought that their friend would abandon them. But luckily Isabella showed to them a secret passage and motions the rest to follow her. But they had no time to summon the others as they were surrounded by the NMC's. They fled so they could summon help.
Meanwhile, the six DDS students were scrambling to stop the NMC's as the victims were slowly decreasing in every minute and Class P were the first to respond. Momoko and Miyako then raised their hands as they summoned their rings and taking their compacts out of her belts, which it opens, then swipes their rings over the open compact, and then snaps it close, and then locks the compact into the slot in the center of the her belt, and both are ready to initiate her transformations.
Likewise, Mipple and mepple changed into their respective transformation devices and Honoka and Nagisa swipes their "cards" and initiated their own transformations, and at the same time the Powerpuff girls Z and Pretty Cure appeared, much to each others' surprises as they finally discovered each others' identities. Nevertheless they knew for sure that they are on the same side.
Hyper Bubbles: "wow…you're also super-heroines like us…"
Cure White: "I can't believe it…you're a Powerpuff girl Z member?? We're also DDS students!"
Cure Black: "Save the chat for later…we got to save everyone!!!"
Rolling Bubbles: "Where are Sakura and Tomoyo??? They're not here with us!!!"
But the four girls were surrounded by NMC's that they opted to concentrate on staying alive first and settled to find the two Class S members later. They hoped that they managed to escape the locked room.
- - -
At the fire exit which leads to the basement, Koizumi saw the other druids preparing to make their next move as they just injected syringe needles on a pair of frogs and threw them at the hole leading to the sewers. He could still here the screams but the screams were getting softer, indicating that the slaughtering is almost done.
"We'd better go or someone might notice that the Para-Kiss massacre is taking place…"
With that he and the druids are heading to an adjacent area where their getaway vehicle is waiting. What they didn't know is that Sakura and Tomoyo followed them and overheard the conversation and they decided to follow them and catch them red-handed.
- - -
Back at the stage room, Class P fought valiantly to save the victims but it was all in vain, as all of the victims were slowly dying as the NMC's killed their prey by biting them on the victims' necks and almost severing their heads while others bit off their vital organs which would kill them within minutes. Only Pretty Cure and the Powerpuff girls Z remain standing and now they are outnumbered as the dogs-turn NMC began to "give birth" and litters of "puppies" came out of the NMC's "birth canal", and they instantly mutated into semi-bigger forms, increasing their numbers.
Blossom: "Oh, crap…we couldn't save everyone and now monster puppies show up…"
Bubbles: "Let my Bubble Wand do the trick…"
Using her Bubble Wand, Rolling Bubbles lets out several bubbles which trapped the big and small fries but it didn't hold them off for long as they began to break free and are ready to attack, but Hyper Blossom used her yo-yo to keep the NMC's at bay, but that didn't faze them. Pretty Cure then decided to offer some contribution and used their electricity-based attacks to keep the mutated opponents back and seemingly worked in their favor.
- - -
At the fire exit, Koizumi and the druids are just moments away from reaching the main exit when Sakura and Tomoyo showed up and flashed their DDS badges, surprising the possessed fashion designer but was nevertheless cool and calm about this.
"STOP! WE'RE FROM DDS!"
"DDS, huh? I'm surprised you managed to escape my room of doom…"
"Why?? Why are you doing this??"
"I only follow the will of the Cult Of Illuminites…they showed me the path to salvation…and to achieve that path I must sacrifice a lot of people to make it happen…just as you are about to be sacrificed…"
At that moment, more druids show up and opened fire, and the two Class S members took cover behind a corner. As the druids went up and continued to fire, they were surprised to see Sakura showing her Star Staff and activated the SHIELD card and formed a force field despite the druids attacks on them using high-powered guns. But this allowed Koizumi to make a quick escape and left the area and narrowly got past two pairs of HUMVEE vehicles that just arrived on the scene. It turn out that the Para-Kiss crew called the police for help, and the dispatcher who received the call happened to be an agent for ZECT and summoned ZECT for reinforcement.
- - -
At the lobby area, Class P continued to fight off the NMC as more of them created more "offspring" and further shifted the numbers in their favors and the DDS students realized that they have to do something to end this situation as fast as possible.
Blossom: "Honoka, Nagisa…can you do a powerful blast to disintegrate these beasts???"
Nagisa: "We could, but you might get caught in the blast…"
Bubbles: "We can handle it and fly out of reach…can you do it?"
Honoka: "Alright…we'll do it…"
At that moment the locked doors were blasted away as ZECT Troopers fired away on the door and aimed their weapons at the NMC's, but Pretty Cure recognized them despite the troopers' wearing ant-like helmets. For Bubbles and Blossom, this is the first time they meet up with the ZECT Troopers and are curious after hearing a lot from them via their DDS schoolmates' claims.
"They're the one…?"
"No doubt about it…look at their logos…is says "ZECT"…"
As the ZECT Troopers are attacking the NMC's, Cure White noticed some blinking lights at the corner of the walls and Cure black also saw this and Class P realized what is going on, and this is certainly bad news for them. The whole building is booby-trapped with bombs and saw the timer ticking down to ten seconds.
00:10…
"It's a bomb!!! Koizumi must've set them up!"
00:07…
Just like Ryoma Echizen and Tsubasa Odora…Koizumi's under the cult's control!!
00:04…
The ZECT Troopers saw this as well and they fall back immediately.
00:01…
Hyper Blossom and Rolling Bubbles grabbed Pretty Cure and flew off via the ceiling and managed to get out of the building without hurting their schoolmates as the bombs inside the building exploded in a huge, mushroom-like explosion as the bombs were laced with C-4 and other explosive compounds. The ZECT Troopers weren't so lucky as they didn't got out on time, killing all of them and the vibrations were so strong that even Class P felt it, but then something hit them and they were in a state of panic.
"Oh no…SAKURA AND TOMOYO ARE STILL DOWN THERE!!!!"
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...

A bloody food-fest and a bombing ending…Koizumi got away and got his explosive debut…but the Cardcaptor is still inside. Will her SHIELD card be enough to protect her?
Decade shows up again…in a cameo appearance. This is to show you that my other DSQ fic, Decade, is still alive as I'm going to upload the final world soon. The reason why I didn't upload it for some time is due to my concentration on Parasite Eve, but now I'm working on it to complete the final two chapters.
Preview:
Class P tries to search for Tomoyo and Sakura while something hidden underneath the sewers revealed something more terrifying.
And again Decade makes another cameo appearance. See who his pursuer is as he shows up as well…
