Episode 5: The Bus Guide saw the Truth!
(Maison Izumo Inn - Dorm Building: In Construction)
After the usual routine with Akio and Izu, Minato was working at the construction of the Inn's additional building. Building it was not too stressful, it should be done in a week or so with the help of the Construction Worker-Type Humagears that Akio provided. As the other workers build the additional housing, Minato ponders what Kusano said about Sekirei known as Shiina. According to Kusano, He has powers that are opposite of her's but the question is what is it though. He thought about it as he pushed a wagon full of dirt before seeing his boss overseeing the construction process.
"Um hey, boss?" Minato spoke as he put down the wagon.
"Yeah?"
"Is Seo scheduled to come in to work today?" He asked.
"Seo?" His boss repeated with one eye open, Minato was a bit worried for a second. "He quit."
"What, he quit?!" Minato exclaimed.
"Yeah 'cause he said his other job was keeping him too busy and didn't give me 2 weeks' notice. That bum." His boss complained.
(Maison Izumo Inn)
Meanwhile, Akio was sitting beside his Sekirei along with Kusano and Akitsu enjoying a nice cup of tea while he had a cola at the patio. They watch Miya and Musubi spar in the backyard which made Kusano flinch upon seeing them fight, Uzume was a little concerned for her as did Akio.
"Hey Kuu, if this is scaring you why don't you watch TV instead?" Uzume asked, but Kusano shook her head.
Musubi threw punches at Miya but she kept on blocking them with her bokken. She then switches to kneeing and kicking but that didn't faze Miya one bit as she kept dodging them. Akio glanced at Kusano with her hopes up thinking that Musubi was winning.
"Kick harder!" Miya tells her.
"Right!"
As Musubi did as Miya told her, Kusano flinched again as she got the attention of not only Akio and Uzume but Toyotama, Yashima and Akitsu. Akio couldn't believe that Minato winged Kusano, him kissing a little girl felt wrong even if she's his Sekirei. If his mother or Yukari found out, it'll be catastrophic for Minato.
"Look at those two, I'm surprised that Miya-san can keep up with her. Let alone winning." Akio commented, then turned to Uzume. "Uzume, could it be that Miya is a-"
"Awha!? What are you talking about Aki, Miya just a regular landlady." Uzume brushes him off, avoiding his question entirely.
"Why so jumpy all of the sudden?" Toyotama asked as Yashima nodded with her.
"Ah…Miya-san is like us." Akitsu blurted out, piecing it together.
"I knew it, is it true?" Akio asked Uzume, but she kept silent as she knew what Miya would do to her if they found out.
"What Akitsu-san said is correct."
Akio and the rest of the girls see Izu coming from the living room as she stands by him. Her module beeps as she begins scanning Miya, seeing if the reading were the same as Uzume and the rest. When she finished, she reported it to Akio.
"Scan complete, Miya has the same readings as the rest if not stronger." Izu said, making Akio gasping in awe.
"Sugei, no wonder why." Akio said.
"Heh, seeing those makes me wanna fight too." Toyoytama said, getting pumped up then she got an idea and grabbed Akio by the collar. "And what better way to do it with my Ashikabi."
"Et tu, Toyo-chan?" Akio asked what she meant by it.
Toyotama drags him out of the house to find a place to train with him. Yashima gets the idea and follows them leaving only Uzume and Akitsu. Those two were already strong on their own so there's no need to train at least. Uzume shrugged as she and Akitsu resumed watching the spar with Kusano.
(Cue REALxEYEZ by LUNA SEA)
{Instrumental}
Humagears, androids equipped with artificial intelligence, offer direct job support in our day and age.
(The song starts with the room lighting up with the blank Humagear as the scene spun around showing off the Humagear before changing to the Humagear's production. Then shows every Humagear in the community doing their roles: as a doctor, hairdresser, caretaker, and finally a police officer.)

{Kōdaina ākaibu akusesu shite}
'Access the vast archives.'
(Akio was seen scrambling through materials at his desk as president, only for them all to spill over the floor, while Izu and Uzume brought over some more binders for him to look over and placed them all over his desk as he gasped in shock. Akio laid his head on his desk from the overwhelm of paperwork as some spilled over his head while Izu bowed, Uzume giggled, and Yashima slightly panicked from the couch.)
{Kensaku shitatte I don't think it's right.}
'Searching because I don't think it's right.'
(A quick scene of Minato working at his job while Musubi was sparring with Miya, followed by Fuwa with his ShotRiser in his hand and Yaiba working on her computer with her Shotriser on her desk at A.I.M.S., and it shows a shot of the vice president and his aid in front of his portrait, before it fell to show Akio's portrait, with him crossing his arms with a funny face along with Uzume hugging his arm with a big smile on her face while Yashima poke her head from Akio's shoulder looking shy, and he surprised by it.)

(The A.I.M.S. soldiers prepared to attack as Akio dashed forward as his hand reached high in the air. Izu and Uzume looked on while the former's modules were red and the latter's eyes were dead serious before going through a puddle revealing the Ark underwater.)
{ZERO-ONE!} (x8)
(During this, Humagears were seen transforming into Magias and Trilobites on one side while the other side were the Sekireis with their Ashikabis ready to battle as Akio was in between with the Zero-One Driver on his waist. He opens the Rising Hopper Progrise key and inserts it into the driver as the grasshopper disassembles and transfers to armor.)
{REALEYES hajimari no aizu}

(After transforming into Zero-One, he leaped up and attacked the Magias and Sekireis with his kicks.)
{Atarashī jidai wo}

{You wanna REALEYES egaita mirai}
'You wanna REALxEYES, the future has been drawn!'
(Akio was limping through a ruined building before falling on the ground in agony. Then Izu and Uzume appeared before him as they held out their hand to Akio as they all smiled at him giving him hope. Akio grabs their hands as they help him up as they look at the clear sky.)
{Buchi nuite Ikeru no wa}
'Pull the plug, what's cool is that'
(Jin and Horobi appear as they walk forward while Fuwa and Yaiba do the same. Akio along with Izu and Uzume step forward as the five transform while Izu and Uzume disappear.)
You're the only ONE!
{ZERO-ONE!} (x5)
(The shots transitioned to the Riders close up as the screen cracks, splitting them separately with their eyes glowing then posing with the light shining behind shadowing them.)
Episode 5: The Bus Guide saw! That Truth!
(Timeskip)
Minato was done for the day but the construction will resume on a later date. He walked to the front door and stopped as he sighs for a moment. He had hoped that he could see Seo again and thank him for his help with Kusano, also wanted to ask him some questions regarding the Sekirei plan but alas all for naught.
'He was the only Ashikabi I knew other than Akio, there's so many things I want to ask him.' Minato thought as he went inside then to the living room.
"I'm home."
When he opened the sliding door, he saw Miya, Uzume, Akitsu and Musubi by the table while Akio had his face down against it, who was tired from sparring with Toyotama and Yashima. But what surprised him the most is that Seo was also there at the other side of the table leaning against the chair.
"Yo, what's up?" Seo greets Minato, face faulted and falls onto the floor.
"Oh, well hello there." Miya greeted Minato back.
"Did you have a great day at work, Minato?" Musubi asked.
"How is the progress of our new house, Minato~?" Uzume asked, raising her eyebrows up and down.
"Guess he's surprised to see me." Seo grinned at his reaction.
"You're just here to leech our meals." Uzume sneered.
"Ah..trash." Akitsu commented.
"Now now you two, he's like a member of the family even if he's trash." Miya said as an Hannya appears beside her, scaring Seo and the others sans Akio. "Despite that, He's Takahito's best friend."
"So, has anyone told you that you can be really scary at times, man?" Seo rhetorically asked, Akio perked up and lifted his head towards him.
"You're Miya's husband's best friend?" Akio asked curiously.
"Yup, that right kid and speaking of kids." Seo looked around the room, looking for someone. "Where's that strange little girl?"
"Oh you mean Kuu-chan, about that…'' Akio was about to explain until-
"President Akio."
The rest of the residents looked to see Izu by the hall along with Toyotama and Yashima with a bottle of milk in their hands. Minato spotted Kusano hanging on Izu's back, giggling along. Kusano peeked out to see them as she was happy to see Minato home until she saw Seo.
"Oh there she is, come over here and say hi." Seo said as he gestured her to come but she was reluctant and hid behind Izu. "Hey, I'm the nice guy who helped save you, remember? I'm not gonna bite."
Despite Seo's 'nice' tone, Kusano was afraid of him for his thuggish looks and his sharp eyes. She shivered and buried her face against Izu's back for comfort.
"Come here, now!" That made Kusano all the more reason to be afraid of him now that Seo raised his tone in annoyance. "Or I'll give you a real reason to cry!"
BAM!
"Gah!"
Seo was hit by a big rock that came out of nowhere, everyone turned to see that it was Miya who threw that rock at him.
"Sorry, my hand accidentally slipped." Miya said as Seo got back up with blood trailing down on his face and the Hannya appeared beside her again. "I hope it doesn't happen again but it might if you don't apologize."
"Of course you're right, I'm sorry." Seo said.
"Damn Miya-san, how can you do that?" Akio asked, curious of the Hannya appearing even though it shook his very core. "I mean summoning those can be Hannyai! Hai! Akio Ja Naito~!"
"..."
Everyone in the room was silent except for Toyotama snickering behind her hand, Musubi and Kusano tilted their heads as they tried to understand his joke. Uzume and Yashima deadpanned at their Ashikabi's so-called joke while Seo and Minato stared at him with the former's eyebrow raised. Miya giggled sweetly while giving off a dark aura around her.
"He uses Miya-san's unusual ability to summon Hannya and use the wordplay for hayai-" Izu explains the joke to them until AKio interrupts.
"Izu! Please don't explain it!" Akio exclaimed desperately.
"Hello, excuse me!"
Everyone heard a female voice coming from the front door as Miya, Minato and Akio came to see who it was. To the boy's surprise, it was Seo's Sekirei, Hibiki and Hikari, in their work uniforms.
"We're sorry to interrupt but is that idiot mooching off of you again?" Hikari asked while Hibiki bowed her head for forgiveness for Seo's idiocy.
"Mooch, why do you say that?" Seo asked, carrying two large bags of rice in his arms before the twin sighed and beat him up, picking up dust into a comical cloud .
BAM!
WHAM!
KAPOW!
BLAM!
"Because it's what you always do, you freeloader!" Hikari shouted as she and her sister kept beating him up.
"Ano excuse me, Seo." Minato called out, they stopped their scrabble and looked at him.
"Yeah?"
"Well, I just wanted to say thanks for helping me and Akio yesterday. I really appreciated what you did." Minato said.
"Don't mention it kid, You two just look like the type who needs help and that's exactly what I provide." Seo said before giving Minato and Akio his business card. "Here."
"It says you handle any problems and troubles." Minato read out loud.
"Yep and I get you a special deal." Seo said as he headed out with the twins, much to Minato and Akio's shock.
"You charge to help people?!" Minato exclaimed as Akio's eyes widened.
"Don't worry, I'll give you the friend grade." Seo said as Hibiki and Hikari carried the rice bags.
"We're sorry. We're sorry for umpteeth time. We're sorry." The twin apologized.
"Geez, what's up with that guy?" Akio asked as Miya, Uzume, Musubi and Kusano watched them leave.
"Like Miya said, Aki. He's trash." Uzume said as Miya giggled and went back to the house.
(Maison Izumo Inn - Bath)
Later that night, Musubi and Uzume were in the bathtub filled with hot water as steam surrounded them. Their faces are flushed due to them enduring the heat for who knows how long.
"Ugh…now I know what a lobster must feel like." Musubi groaned to the heat, melting in the tube.
"Hey, you're the one who wanted to see who can stand at the longest! It's too hot here for me so I guess you win." Uzume gaved up as she turned around for Musubi to see her Sekirei mark.
"That's right!" Musubi stood up, realized that Uzume's a Sekirei, revealing her naked figure. "You're a Sekirei too, Uzume!?"
"Huh?" Uzume looked at her mark and got the gist of it as she grinned. "That's right, I am. It wouldn't be right if I didn't know about it."
"Then, we should have a fight right now!" Musubi said, excited to fight her as she raised her fist for combat. "I'm Sekirei number 88, Musubi, a Fist-Type Sekirei!"
"Hey hey hey! There's no need to fight here!" Uzume panicked, waving her hands around in defense. She didn't want Miya to find out or she'll have their heads. Then she had an idea that could benefit Musubi and keep them from Miya's wrath.
(Next day)
Akio was joining with the tenants for breakfast along with his Sekirei this morning. Akio provided the inn with a new table with the fact that he's going to live with them soon. When he came to the room, he saw Miya and Kagari sitting by waiting for the rest of the residents. They sat down and waited for Minato and his Sekirei. When they did, they had a tired look on their eyes except Musubi, who was energetic as ever. Akio asked about that and Minato replied something that was not expected.
"A ghost?" Akio and Uzume said altogether.
"Aha, so that explains how Kuu-chan ended up in your bedroom last night. At first, I was thinking maybe you brought her there yourself." Miya teased, giggling behind her hand.
"But Miya, that's so creepy." Minato said with a disturb look before explaining more. "After she woke us up, we thought Kuu-chan might've seen a burglar so we looked around the house. But we didn't find anyone let alone a ghost."
Kusano shivered in the thought of who she saw last night.
"The ghost was a woman with long hair, who was wearing glasses, she laughed too." Kusano told them.
"Did you say long hair and glasses?" Miya asked as Uzume knew who Kusano described.
"Hey, that sounds like-"
"Uzume." Miya interrupted her, giving her the eye which scared Uzume.
"Urk! Um…I mean to say it sounds like no one I"ve ever heard of." Uzume said, Minato and Akio looked at her with the former in confusion while the latter was a bit concerned.
"I'm sure Kuu was just having a bad dream last night. And besides, the thought of a spirit appearing here at Maison Izumo is just crazy." Miya said with the Hannya appearing next to her with her scary aura.
"Well if that's the case, then I guess I'm going insane." Minato said, scared of Miya's Hannya in front of him.
'If that isn't a spirit then I don't know what is.' Akio sweatdropped, whether or not Miya was joking or not.
(Later)
Akio's currently riding in a tour bus as it drives through the forest. The reason he's in the bus is because he's checking on the progress of the Tour Guide Humagear, Anna, while checking out the forest from the window.
"Ah! Look at all the green!" Akio cheered as he pressed his face against the window to see the almost endless expanse of trees and nature. "I love traveling!"
"Yeah, it's nice to get out there once in a while." Uzume said, sitting next to him before hugging his arm in affection.
"President Akio, Uzume-san, sightseeing is not on today's agenda. We're evaluating Anna, the Bus Guide Humagear our company has issued." Izu reminded them, sitting across from them. Akio looked over to see Akitsu next to her while Toyotama and Yashima were sitting behind them. Minato was also in the bus, sitting right behind Izu and Akitsu along with Musubi next to him while Kusano on his lap.
"I'm surprised that you invited them, Uzume." Akio said.
"Well, the more the merrier they all say. Hehehe…" Uzume said, laughing nervously. She could tell him the real reason to avoid the fight with Musubi last night.
Akio and Uzume then turned to the front of the bus where a brown haired Humagear in a blue tour guide uniform with a scarf in blue, white and orange stripes in a bowtie was about to introduce herself to the students.
"I am Anna, I will act as your guide and provide historical data on your journey." Anna spoke, speaking through the bus' intercom. "Hopefully, I can make this trip more enjoyable."
Akio then held his hands up over his eyes like a pair of binoculars, directing at Anna. Akio's Sekirei paid attention to her along with Minato and his Sekirei while Kusano copied what Akio's doing as she held her hands like his.
"We are now approaching a site of great historical significance in recent history." Anna continued as the bus drove by a large, gated flooded city to the sights of Daybreak Town. "The remains of Daybreak Town, a monument to a tragic day."
Akio lowered his hands at that, hearing that name making him think of and remember about his father on that day. Uzume, Toyotama and Yashima felt sadness from their bond with him, they're concerned of his history behind Daybreak. Uzume then notices a young black haired teenager nearby holding his hands tighter while looking at the floor.
'Why's that kid so down for?' Uzume thought before turning back to Anna.
"The Japanese government worked with Hiden Intelligence and several other technology companies to create an urban development run by Humagears. It was also the launch site for the control satellite that would come to govern the Humagears, among a variety of other projects." Anna explained Daybreak's background. "However, an accident caused an explosion in the R&D Sector, which would eventually spread to the power infrastructure. By the end, the entire city was destroyed. It was an unprecedented disaster."
(Daybreak Town)
The Bus stopped as the students stepped out followed by Akio and the others. Anna guided them to the bridge where they could see the ruins of the town.
"Eventually, this event would come to be known as Daybreak. And even now, 12 years later, access beyond this point is strictly prohibited." Anna said.
Akio looked out at the lake which had formed with a sigh. Uzume was now really concerned about the history behind the incident. Minato sadly looked at the ruins of the town , thinking of how it had happened.
"Question!" One of the male students spoke, raising his hand. "What caused the explosion in the factory?"
"It is believed to have been caused by faulty maintenance." Anna answered.
Akio thinked back about what Fuwa said about the incident was no accident. There're so many mysteries left unanswered behind Daybreak and pondered about it since. He felt the incident back then and the attacks by MetsubouJinraiNet are connected somehow.
Unknown to the group. Jin was walking towards the tour bus. He tapped a ZetsumeRiser and dark blue Zetsumerise Key with an image of a bat, the Onycho Zetsumerise Key, to the window, getting the Driver Humagear named Burs's attention.
"I know what really happened!" Another male student spoke up before grabbing the young man from the bus's shoulder. "It was all Go Sakurai's dad's fault! He was in charge of the factory that blew up!"
"Back off!" Go snapped as he pushed him away, only for another boy to grab his shoulder.
"Yeah! His dad blew the whole thing up!" The other student laughed.
BOOM!
Suddenly, the tour bus exploded as the students screamed upon seeing the explosion while Akio instictly stepped in front of the group along with his Sekirei. They saw the bus driver walking out of the flames with the ZetsumeRiser on his waist, his eyes and earpieces glowing red.
"Connected to MetsuboJinraiNet..." Burs said, Activating the Zetsumerise Key before slotting it into the belt and pushing the button.
[ONYCHO!]
[ZETSUMERISE!]
His human skin melted away as his skeletal structure was morphed into its new form. He looked like a regular Trilobite, only his armor changed, he had purple chest armor, his fingers ending in claws, large bat like wings attached to a small propulsion pack in the center of his spine, he had large blue lenses for eyes, purple armor forming a fanged mouth guard with a snout like nose.
This is the Onycho Magia.
"Exterminate all humans. Exterminate…"
"Run!" Akio ordered as he guided them away with Izu and Anna but Minato and his Sekirei were left.
Jin was sitting on the wall of a building that was connected to the dam that held back the lake. He smirked as he kicked his legs back and forth, watching with amusement.
"Now…exterminate some humans for me." Jin grinned.
"Oh, so this is what Uzume told me about." Musubi said, looking at it with interest.
"Um Musubi, we should get away from it right now." Minato tells her, really scared of the Magia in front of him and concerned for her and Kusano, who is scared upon seeing the Bat Magia.
"I've wanted to fight one since Uzume told me about them last night." Musubi said with excitement as she readied her fist at the Magia.
"When there's a Magia then there's…" Uzume looked around before he spotted Jin not far from them. "Jin."
"Oops. Guess it's time to go." Jin said as he got up and made his escape.
"Oh no, you don't!" Toyotama shouted as she and Uzume ran after him.
The Onycho Magia suddenly jumps and flies towards the student, making Akio and Minato freaking out. Akio chased after the Magia with Yashima followed by Musubi, who wanted to fight it, which led to Minato chasing after her along with Izu carrying Kusano and Akitsu.
(Forest)
The students ran to the forest nearby thinking that the Magia can't find them but what they didn't know is that the Magia can fly and can spot them from above before it lands in front of them. They immediately got away from it as fast as they could while the few tripped but got back up panicky from the adrenaline in them. Go tripped and fell over, he was about to get up until the Magia was getting closer and closer.
"Exterminate humans." The Onycho Magia raised his claws as it was about to attack Go. Akio and Yashima ran to see Go was about to be attacked, he readied his driver as Yashima raised her hammer.
POW!
Suddenly, the Magia was shot out of nowhere before they saw Fuwa charging towards it as the Magia went for a right hook. But Fuwa dodges it and kicks it on the side, making it stumble back. Akio and Yashima hid their stuff for safety as they saw Yaiba coming out from a nearby tree with her Shotriser aimed at it.
"Artificial Intelligence Act violation!" She stated. Fuwa took out his Progrise key while she spun it as they activated it then inserted them to their weapons.
[BULLET!]
[DASH!]
[AUTHORIZE!]
[KAMEN RIDER!] (2x)
"Henshin!"
[SHOTRISE!]
Blue and orange bullets came out of their risers as they flew towards the Magia before it dodged them and they returned back to them.
[SHOOTING WOLF!]
[RUSHING CHEETAH!]
They transformed into Vulcan and Valkyrie as steam came out of them before Valkyrie charged at it while Vulcan began shooting it. The Magia took damage from Vulcan while Valkyrie swung in and pouches it a couple of times before Vulcan went for a kick to the side. Vulcan charges at the Magia but it pushes him away before Valkyrie goes for a kick. The Onycho dodged as it tried to slashed her with its claws but she leaped back, it looked at Vulcan and tried to headbutt him but he jumped back as the two shot the Magia couple of times before it ran away.
"Freeze!" Vulcan shouted as he and Valkyrie ran after it.
The Onycho flew and landed on a branch upside down while the two tried to aim their Shotrisers at it and continued their shooting. The Magia deflected them with its wings and flew high, making its way to freedom. That is, until it saw something coming towards it and identified it was a female as she raised her fist. It immediately dodged as the figure revealed to be Musubi as she landed on a nearby branch.
"Wow, you must be good if you're a machine. It's gonna be fun fighting you!" Musubi said in excitement.
The Onycho was updated on the info on the Sekirei thanks to the files Horobi got from the MBI. It now sees Musubi as an immediate threat to it and MetsubouJinraiNet and flies towards her in response.
"Exterminate the Sekirei." The Onycho Magia stated.
"Hup!" Musubi leaped towards the Magia and traded blows with her fist.
Akio and Yashima looked up to see the two fight as they glanced at each other before they nodded and separated. Akio went to check on Go while Yashima went to help Musubi with the Magia. Musubi kept punching as the Onycho Magia was taking damage, however the Magia was able to learn her attack pattern due to being an AI and started to block and attack. The Magia block and grab Musubi's fist as it strikes back with claws but she parries it with her arm, redirects it away from her. She wasted no time to see an opening and went for a punch to the head.
The Onycho Magia was knocked back as Musubi landed on another branch while it stopped in the air. When it did, it failed to notice Yashima coming from behind as she swung her hammer at the Magia, sending it towards the ground. It halted from crashing to the ground as it looked up to see Musubi and Yashima coming at him. It was now being cornered with the Sekirei above and AIMS looking for it from the ground. The Magia pressed his button on his Zetsumeriser, initiating its own finisher.
[ZETSUMETSU NOVA!]
It sends a super sonic screech at the two Sekirei, sending them away from it as it made its escape for real this time.
"He got away!?" Akio exclaimed, helping Go up as Anna, Izu, Akitsu, Kusano and Minato arrived.
Izu looked at the fleeing Magia as she scanned the combat data for later usage. Vulcan and Valkyrie arrive too late to destroy it as they undo their transformation and see Akio and the others.
"So, Hiden's President is at the center of this again." Fuwa complained, making Yashima narrow her eyes at him.
"Gee, that's a fine hello." Akio sarcastically said.
"I didn't want this…" Go muttered, gaining the others attention as he ruffled his hair in stress. "Why? Why do I have to go through this?"
Akio and Yashima looked at Go with concern while Fuwa was blinked by what he said. Minato felt bad ever since he heard how bad his classmates were belittling him.
(Hiden Intelligence)
Akio along with Izu and Yashima went back to the office while Minato and his Sekirei went back to Izumo inn for some down time after the Magia attack. Akio even brought Go to the office for further information on his connection to Daybreak. He sat on the couch while Go and surprisingly Fuwa sat across from him with Izu, Anna and Yashima standing on both sides. Uzume and Toyotama came back after their chase for Jin was for naught.
"According to his personnel records, This is Sakurai Go. His father, Sakurai Satoshi, was the victim of the tragedy 12 years ago." Izu informed him as she gave the tablet to him with the profile of Sakurai Satoshi.
"They say that my dad is the reason why Daybreak happened…Everyone always tells me…'It was all your dad's fault.' That's because of him…" Go spoke, grieving about his torment from his father's deed.
"That's wrong." Fuwa spoke up, making Go look at him as vice-versa. "It wasn't your dad's fault. Daybreak was caused by machines built to kill, the Humagears. They went berserk…they leveled the factory."
Fuwa clenched his fist in anger, remembering that day 12 years ago. Running away helplessly from the red eyed Humagears chasing after him. Anna notices his rage as well as Uzume, Toyotama and Yashima as well. The Sekirei girls know how he felt, at least towards Minaka for putting them into this sick game for his ambition and amusement. Izu checked the database for anything on the Daybreak incident but she couldn't find anything.
"There are no records of-" Izu informs but Fuwa interrupts.
"Because Hiden covered up the truth!" Fuwa shouted in anger, glaring at Akio as the Sekirei in the room started to be defensive from his resentment towards Akio.
"Accessing the database." Anna then accesses her data of the incident. "The incident is said to have been caused by faulty maintenance. That is the common consensus."
"But is the consensus the same thing as the truth…?" Akio asked, starting to think more about the incidents as more questions started popping up in his mind.
Akio's Sekirei were concerned since they felt his sadness whenever Daybreak pops up, they didn't know what happened during that time. But they know that it's a sensitive topic for him so they put it off until later.
Fuwa clicked his tongue and stormed out of the office with a frustrated look. Go ran after him much to the girl's confusion. Akio paid them no mind as he kept thinking about the mysterious surrounding Daybreak and warnings from his grandfather's will are somehow connected.
(Outside of Hiden Intelligence)
Fuwa was walking out of the building, his day just getting started when he's home with two freeloaders expecting him. He was very annoyed with not one but two Sekirei competing for his affection. With Ichiya he can tolerate but Yomi was getting on his last nerve with her clinging onto him ever since. His thoughts were interrupted when he heard Go calling out to him.
"I want to know what really happened." Go said, Fuwa glanced at him before turning away.
"You want to know the truth?" Fuwa asked as Go nodded. "Well, so do I."
Fuwa gestures Go to follow him with the latter obliged as they went to get essentials for their search in the ruins of Daybreak. As they walked through the bridge, a petite and slim young woman with black hair and blue eyes wearing a white long sleeved collared shirt, a red tie with white stripes looking like a cross, black skirt with a brown belt, brown boots with black leggings and had a brown cross hair clip.
This girl is Minato's little sister, Yuakari Sahashi.
"Maison Izumo, huh?" Yukari murmured, reading the map that his brother sent him a while ago. "This place is pretty far away from the train station."
Yukari came to Shinto Teito to settle in before she started college, but she wanted to visit his brother at Maison Izumo first. She walked while looking at the map for directions that she didn't pay attention to the person in front of her as they each bumped into each other.
BLAM!
"Ouch! Watch where you're going, pal!" Yukari said, landed on her bottom as she rubbed her head from the impact before looking to see who she bumped into.
It was a young male of below average height and slim build, with messy silver hair and grayish-blue eyes. He wore a long white-sleeved shirt with black accents and ribbon around the collar, Black mini backpack, brown tan shorts with blackstraps across his waist and brown boots with white socks. But what caught Yukari's attention is that his face is so femnine that she can't help but feel mesmerized by his face.
This feminine boy is Shiina, Sekirei #107.
"I-I'm sorry.." Shiina apologized.
"Ah…!" Yuka gasped, her mind in turmoil upon seeing his girly face. 'That tushy hair…those eyes…those lips…oh my god! I've found one!'
"A-A Bishounen!" She exclaimed before she snapped out of her fantasies. "Oh no, did I hurt you?!"
"No, I'm alright. Thank you" Shiina assured her.
"There you are."
Yukari and Shiina looked up to see Mitsuha and Himeko standing on top of a building in front of them. Yukarai was confused by their sudden arrival but Shinna was frustrated that they caught up to him so soon.
"You can run but you can't hide so give up. And like I told you before, my master requested that I'd bring you to him." Mitsuha tells him as she does some cute gestures.
"No!" Shiina immediately replied, much to Mitsuha's annoyance. "I refuse to go to him, especially after what he tried to do to Kuu."
"So you're gonna be stubborn, huh. Well, in that case, I guess I'm just gonna have to give you some extra persuasion!" Mitsuha said, she brought out her whip and lash it out towards Shiina.
Yukari instinctively grabbed Shiina and moved out of the way from the whip as it made a dent to the sidewalk.
"Hey, leave him alone!" Yukari shouted as Mitsuha was starting to get angry for her interference.
"No…please go." Shiina was now concerned that Yukari was going to be involved with his problem.
"Look, I don't know what's going on but don't worry because I'm going to protect you." Yukari reassures him with a smile, making him blush.
"Move out of the way unless you want some of this too." Mitsuha threatens her.
"I won't let you hit him! Bishounens are national treasures, you idiot!" Yukari exclaimed, Shiina was astonished by her bravery as he felt his body start to get warm all of the sudden.
'Why do I feel so strange right now…?' Shiina thought.
"ARGH! Okay fine, it's your funeral!" Mitsuha said, whipping her whip again at the two.
"Let's go!" Yukari grabbed Shiina's hand as they made a break for it with the whip missing its target.
"You're not getting away!" Mitsuha and Himeko jumped off the building and went after them.
As Yukari and Shiina ran away from the two Sekirei, Shiina never felt his body like this before and it was attracted to Yukari. He didn't know for sure, he heard it from his adjuster about emerging and how it works before his release. But this feeling he felt, there's no doubt about it for sure.
'Could she be…?' Shiina thought, looking at Yukari with his eyes being entranced by her.
Until he looked ahead and saw someone walking in front of them and didn't seem to be stopping. Yukari noticed the stranger too and was about to move away but the figure took out a black shirasaya sword and swung it towards them. Yukari stops before the blade cuts them and falls down upon the sudden slash.
"Hey! What's the big idea!?" Yukari shouted as she and Shiina looked up to see the maniac who swung the sword.
It turns out to be Horobi standing in their way as he stared at the two curiously, mostly Shiina who was getting nervous by his stare. Mitsuha and Himeko caught up to the two only to see Horobi as well.
"I don't know who you are but you did us a favor by stopping them in their tracks. We'll be taking the boy if you don't mind." Mitsuha said seeing this favored her greatly and pleased Mikogami.
"No." Horobi said, much to their confusion. "I'm here for #107, theDeath Sekirei."
"Death Sekirei?" Yukari repeated as she turned to Shiina. "That's you?"
"..." Shiina turned away, ashamed that his potential Ashikabi heard his moniker.
"Great, another random guy is gonna take our prize." Mitsuha grumbled.
"Ara, please step out of the way, would you sir? You wouldn't want to be involved, especially if you know about us." Himeko spoke, making Mitsuha realize it too.
"Humanity will be exterminated along with the Sekirei." Horobi stated, making the two eyes widened upon hearing it. "And the Death Sekirei is a threat to MetsubouJinraiNet's goal."
Horobi then took out a black belt buckle with a silver on the lower right of it and yellow centerpiece, trigger and extractor with a silver restraint cable.
This is MetsubouJinraiNet's main transformation device, the Forceriser.
[FORCERISER!]
"All for the will of the Ark." He said as he put it on his waist as the belt strap wrapped around his waist before he took out a purple Progrise Key with an image of a scorpion. He stretched his right arm out with the Progrise Key and activated it.
[POISON!]
"Henshin."
He inserts it to where the silver part and the extractor was as it keeps it in place. When it did, a warning siren blared from the belt with a red light blinking from it, making the Sekirei and Yukari feel tense upon hearing it. Then a mechanical scorpion came out of the belt, resulting in them moving out of the way upon seeing it freaking scared them.
"A scorpion?!"
"Okay, how did he do that?!"
Horobi pulled the tripper as it forcibly, no pun intended, opening the Progrise Key as sparks came out from it.
[FORCERISE!]
[STING SCORPION!]
The scorpion turns to Horobi and ir stabs its stinger into him, much to their shock, as it forms a purple bodysuit. The scorpion then lifted itself towards Horobi and wrapped around him as electricity sparked around him before the scorpion broke up into pieces. Parts of black armor came out with restraint straps surrounding Horobi and donned onto him.
Horobi was clad in an all purple suit. His body was covered in black straps keeping armor in place with the armor changing between black and a diamond plate gunmetal pattern. His left arm had a large black metal gauntlet with a stinger extending out over his hand. His mask is themed after scorpion claws framing his yellow eyes, giving off a menacing stare.
This is MetsubouJinraiNet's Kamen Rider, Kamen Rider Horobi.
[BREAKDOWN!]
Yukari stared at the purple rider, she couldn't help but to stay away from him while Shiina was cautious due to Horobi's threat to kill him. Mitsuha and Himeko were annoyed that an unknown person was getting in their way once again.
"Another one! These guys are popping out from the woodwork!" Mitsuha exclaimed in frustration, reminding her of Zero-One.
"I agree, let's get rid of him." Himeko said as she readied her weapon.
The two Sekirei immediately rush towards Horobi as he just stands still and does nothing. The two smirked as they thought this was gonna be easy but they couldn't be more wrong. Mitsuha began to throw her whip while Himeko swung her blade at him before he parried Himeko's blade with his stinger and grabbed Mitsuha's whip and pulled her towards him as he kicked her in the gut. The two skid to the ground before getting on their feet and look at Horobi with such frustrations.
"How did he counter our attack like that?" Himeko asked her partner.
"Who cares! Let's just take this guy out!" Mitsuha shouted, rushed in hastily.
Mitsuha strikes him with multiple whips but Horobi uses the extent of the scorpion ability to extend his stinger to evenly parried hers if not stronger. It overwhelmed her and was pushed back as Horobi's stinger wrapped around her abdomen and flicked her into the wall.
BLAM!
"Gah!"
Mitsu grunted upon impact and fell down hard, making Himeko a bit shaken up that Horobi took her down so easily. But that doesn't mean that she'll be backed down just yet. She ran with her blades held high and delivered a heavy slash at him but he sidestepped as she kept on swinging her sword. Her movements were getting more rigid as Horobi kept stalling until he found an opening and did an elbow strike at her right side then a back kick, sending her next to Mitsuha.
Yukari and Shiina were taken back by how Horobi dealt with two Sekirei so easily that he can't be human in a way. Shiina was getting more worried as Horobi set his sights back at him and Yukari.
"Now for your extermination, Death Sekirei." Horobi said, walking towards them as he was about to grip the trigger of the belt.
Shiina feared what Horobi was about to do, he waved his hands as he sent Hohobi away from them with his power. Horobi stood up and continued to walk towards them like that attack was nothing to him at all. Shiina kept attacking him but that didn't stop Horobi from pursuing them.
"Geez, what does it take him to go down?!" Yukari exclaimed, wanting to help Shiina. She can fight but against Horobi after what he did to Mitsuha and Himeko, there's no way that they can escape unscathed.
Though Shiina's attack did slow him down for a bit, Horobi does keep on walking no matter how much he takes. Just as Horobi was getting close to Yuraki and Shiina, a ball of fire hit Horobi and skidded away from them. He and the two looked to see Homura standing there, facing Horobi.
"I won't let you harm them, MetsubouJinrai." Homura stated, igniting another fire in his hand.
"The Sekirei Guardian, how interesting, I wasn't expecting you here 'til later." Horobi said, dead set on facing him. "Eliminating you will make our goal go smoothly."
"I wouldn't count on that." Homura said as they charged at each other.
(Meanwhile with Akio)
After Fuwa and Go left the office, Akio called Fukuzoe to his office for more information behind Daybreak since he's the second only to his late grandfather and his dad.
"What caused the explosion at our factory in Daybreak, Fukuzoe-san?" Akio asked him, but he was reluctant to answer Akio's question.
"Why are you asking me this?" Fukuzoe asked back.
"I asked the question first." Akio replied back, trying to be reasonable.
"...I'm afraid I don't recall." Fukuzoe simply said, Akio's patience was running thin when he answered that.
"Don't give me that, I know you're hiding something regarding that incident." Akio retorted as his Sekirei along with Akitsu gave Fukuzoe the stare, making him a bit nervous but didn't show it.
"Vice-president Fukuzoe, why does Hiden have no record of the Humagear uprising that occurred 12 years ago?" Anna asked.
"It would seem likely that the cover up was intentional." Izu concluded, making the girls in the room give him more of the stare.
"...I'm sorry, I don't recall." Fukuzoe said the same answers and led himself out of the office before Akio spoke up.
"What are you hiding behind the Daybreak Incident, Fukuzoe?!"
"President…sometimes protecting the company means keeping the truth in the shadows…that's how business works." Fukuzoe tells him.
"The truth might be connected to the threat my grandpa warned us through his will. I'm asking you as president, what happened behind Daybreak 12 years ago?!" Akio asked once more, Fukuzoe was still silent before he gave the same answer.
"I'm afraid I don't recall."
With that Fukuzoe left the room as Akio sighs and sat at his desk, stressing about the Daybreak incident. Uzume, Yashima and Toyotama felt his distress about the whole thing and wanted to do something to help him but they had little to none about the incident since that time they're being adjusted to the Sekirei plan. Anna then turned to Akio to state her opinion on the matter.
"The duty of the bus guide is to share the history of a destination. There is a need to uncover and verify the truth." Anna said as Akio nodded.
"Guess we're booking another trip to Daybreak Town, huh?" Akio asked, turning to his Sekirei and Akitsu, they nodded in response.
"Are you certain?" Anna asked.
"Of course, after all, I'm the president of Hiden." Akio smiled, showing off his nameplate. "I can't ignore an employee in need!"
(Daybreak Town)
Fuwa and Go was by the bridge to Daybreak Town. Fuwa brought essential supplies for climbing, spelunking, diving, and other such things for exploration along with a sturdy plastic raft to make it across the water. He put everything into his bag and carried it over his shoulder and was ready to go. He walked past Go, who was staring at the ruins in the distance as Fuwa turned to him.
"Let's go." Fuwa spoke, snapping Go out of his daydreaming as the two began walking further to the ruins, only to stop as Yaiba walked out and into their path, much to his annoyance.
Go just looked concerned, knowing that she worked with Fuwa...and was well aware this was probably super illegal, which is why Isamu told Go to lie to his mother about where he was going today. And now another horrible thought entered the poor boy's mind as he tuned them out just as they began speaking.
"Where do you think you're going? You're not authorized to go any further." Yaiba stated, Fuwa sighed as he glanced at Go.
"He's like me." Isamu replied and explained his reasoning. "Daybreak ruined his life and he doesn't even know why. Now he wants to find the truth.
Yaiba took a long moment as she processed all he said. She knows that Fuwa harbored a grudge against Humagears ever since the incident and now he wants to help a boy he barely knows to bring closure. Even though this would harm his and her position, she knew that he would do it either way.
"And I can't stop you?" She sighed, she then walked up to him and handed him a gray ProgriseKey, it had the image of a Gorilla.
"What's this?" He asked.
"A word of warning…" She spoke with a sharp tone. "This ProgriseKey packs a punch. I doubt you'll be able to use it."
"Then why give it to me?" Fuwa asked, confused. "You're just contradicting yourself here!"
"Just try and remember what your job is, alright?" She asked, reminding him.
"Actually, I'm off the clock, today." He smirked, removing his tie around his neck as he then took the ProgriseKey and put it in his pocket. He and Go went off to Daybreak to find the truth deep within the ruins.
(Satellite Zea)
In Zea's datascape, Izu links to it as she sent the recorded video of the Onycho Magia. Zea receives it as it runs through it and analyzes the Magia.
"Please find countermeasures for aerial opponents." Izu said as she pressed the icon, sending the request to Zea.
(Hiden Intelligence)
Izu stood by as Zea started creating a new Progrise Key via 3D printer. For a few moments, the printer blinked green as it was done creating it.
"Fabrication complete."
She opens the door as she sees the new key on the platform. The body key was black while the key plate was pink with an image of a falcon. She takes the key and returns to Akio with his 'business trip'.
(With Fuwa and Go)
Fuwa set up the raft along with a motor to get there easily, but the motor had a screw loose and he had to fix it while Go took a look around.
"Are we really going to learn anything if we go out there?" Go asked.
"I can't say…but we won't know unless we try." Fuwa said, managed to fix the motor.
"I-Intruder detected!"
Fuwa and Go turned to see some Trilobite Magia spotted them and readied their knives at them.
"Exterminate! Exterminate!"
"Looks like a cover-up, if you ask me!" Fuwa exclaimed, took out his Shotriser and blasted a few before moving in to take out more.
Go watches him as he kicks one away then knocks one with a punch to the face. He shoots more of them before noticing one of the Trilobites were getting closer to him and uses the back of the Shotriser to knock them back. He blocks their knives with the said weapon and grabs it and throws them away. Go was in awe seeing Fuwa mowing down the grunts with little difficulty, he didn't notice one sneaking up behind him until the last second.
"Exterminating…all humans."
The grunt Magia creeped up to Go as he was too scared to run until a foot met its face and flew into the water. Go look up to see Ichiya standing there and couldn't help but blushing at the strong and curvy woman in front of him.
"Ichiya, why are you here?!" Fuwa shouted before kicking more of the grunts.
"You didn't come home after work so we came to look for you, obviously." Ichiya said.
"We?" Fuwa asked, he then noticed more of the grunts get blown away by a sudden slash of wind, failing to notice Yomi tackles onto him.
"How could you, Reiji-kun~? Instead of spending time with us, you're spending time in this desolate place~?" Yomi teased, hugging his head close to her bosom, much to his annoyance.
"Get off of me, woman!" Fuwa struggled to get out of her hug.
"Don't be like that, we just wanted your attention, that's all." Ichiya said, ripping him off of Yomi and hugging his arm, showing off her cleavage.
Go looked at the two with slight jealousy, seeing that two women were fawning over him. Most girls tend to avoid him due to his dad's deed on Daybreak and felt like cursing him to death for having such beautiful women at his side. Go snapped back to reality as another Trilobite rushed at him. But then, Akio came in tackling it before throwing it back as Uzume soared in the air in her combat outfit. She wrapped it with her veils and swung it up and crashed it down.
"Are you okay?" Akio asked Go as he kneed down while Uzume landed by his side.
"Hiden's president?" Fuwa then got out of his Sekirei's grasp and aimes his Shotriser at the rest of the grunts. "Trying to keep us from seeing anything inconvenient?"
"I'm really getting annoyed by his assumptions at my Aki." Uzume grumbled in annoyance.
"Hmm?" Ichiya took a good look at Uzume. "Could she be…?"
"I'm surprised that you're here, Ichiya."
She turns to see Toyotama walking alongside Yashima, Anna and Akitsu as they pass by Fuwa and the two. Ichiya was surprised that her old training partner was here of all places while Fuwa took notice of Akitsu's Sekirei symbol on her forehead, recognising her as a Sekirei, and pieces together that the girls with Akio are the same.
"That and having an Ashikabi with a bad attitude." Toyotama said, giving Fuwa a mean eye.
"You're wrong, I want to know what really happened!" Akio said, taking out his Zero-One Driver and putting it on, much to Izu's warning.
(Cue Kamen Rider Zero-One Theme)
"You mustn't, you have to protect your secret identity." Izu said but couldn't stop him as he stood by Fuwa and his Sekirei.
"You want to die?! Shouldn't you let your Sekirei do your dirty work?!" Fuwa shouted, making Akio a bit irritated before Fuwa noticed the driver in his waist. "That belt…"
"As president of Hiden Intelligence, I promise you. I won't keep any secrets. You have my word." Akio said, glancing at Fuwa as he took out his Progrise Key and activated it then scanned it. "I'll prove that Humagears are the advancement humanity dreamed of, with my Sekirei at my side!"
(End theme)
[JUMP!]
[AUTHORIZE!]
Fuwa, Ichiya and Yomi looked up to see the mecha grasshopper summoned from Zea as it chirped against the group of Trilobites. Akio transformation poses before he opens his key.
"Henshin!"
[PROGRISE!]
[RISING HOPPER!]
[A jump to the sky turns to a rider kick!]
Akio transforms to Zero-One, surprising Go along with Fuwa and his Sekirei.
"You're that damn grasshopper…?" Fuwa asked in shock, gaping like a fish.
"Pft! That look on his face is hilarious!" Uzume laughed at Fuwa's shocked face along with Yashima and Toyotama while Akitsu was giving a slight smirk on her face.
(Cue Find a new life by Tsuyoshi Himura)
"We're handling things here." Zero-One said as he raised his Attach Calibur before turning to Anna. "Anna, go on ahead with the four of them! It's your job to guide the guests to their destination, after all."
[BLADERISE!]
"Hai." Anna responded as she guided Go to the raft. "Right this way."
Zero-one charges ahead towards the Trilobites with his Calibur in hand as slashes one of them before kicking the other away. Uzume, Yashima and Toyotama glanced at each other and nodded before joining Akio fending off the Trilobites. Fuwa watched them fighting as he let go of the trigger and lowered his Shotriser. He was so confused and irritated, Akio revealed himself as an Ashikabi and Zero-one. How can he trust him so easily despite his suspicion of him and his company. He grunted as he ran back to Go on the raft with Ichiya and Yomi following.
(End OST)
(With Fuwa)
He and the others made it to one of the buildings of the dead town as they managed to get inside through a broken window and climb down with a rope tied to the raft. Once they climbed onto the floor, they looked around to see the place was wreck and dark. Fuwa took out a flashlight and turned it on as they ventured through the building. Only the sound of footsteps and water dripping echoed as they went on and down from the stairs. When they made it to the branching hall, Fuwa looked at the right hall before Anna's module went off.
"This way, please." Anna tells him as she guides them to the left hall.
They followed Anna as she led them to the wrecked control room, debris everywhere.
"This is the Humgear factory control room, where the explosion originated." Anna tells them.
"And where your father worked." Fuwa adds.
"It was here…" Go pondered, seeing the place where his dad died and caused his grief over the years.
"I will search for anything that may help us." Anna said as she and Fuwa walked further in the room looking at anything that could be related to the answers they needed.
Ichiya and Yomi stood by in case of any enemy coming into the control room.
(Back at the Surface)
Zero-Oneslashed at two of the Trilobites while his Sekirei fought their own. Uzume wrapped her veils into a spear and striked it back as it's armor sparked. Yashima raised her hammer and slammed it onto the ground, creating a shockwave that sent the trilobites back. Toyotama dodged the Trilobites knives and stabbed it with her staff and threw it to the other Trilobites. Zero-One took out his Biting Shark Progrise Key as he activated it and inserted it into his sword.
[FANG!]
[Progrise Key confirmed. Ready to Utilize.]
[Shark's Ability!]
The sword was charging with blue circuit energy as it formed shark fins above the blade. He pressed the trigger as it released the energy it stored and swung it at the gathered grunt his Sekirei helped put together.

[BITING KABAN STRASH!]
The fins slashed them before he swung back, hitting them again before they exploded in pieces. Zero-One panted a little as his Sekirei cheered for his small victory, Akitsu watched as she left a bit left out of it until she saw something coming towards them. As it was getting closer, revealing to be the Onycho Magia from last time as she formed icicles around her and shot it at the bat. The Magia dodges the first two before conjuring up fireballs at the rest of them. It then throws more fireballs at them catching him and the girls a bit off guard until Uzume steps in and uses her veils to deflect the fireballs back at the Magia.
"It's the bat again!" Zero-One shouted in annoyance.
Akitsu shot more icicles towards the Magia while Uzume shot her veils trying to catch it. But the Magia avoided them and flew back as Zero-One, Yashima and Toyotama jumped high to reach it. Only for the Magia flew out of their jumping height and crashed to the ground if not for Uzume used her veils to catched them in time.
"President Akio, here." Izu called out, arriving on time as she chucked the new Progrise Key to him.
"Hmm?" Zero-One catched the key and checks it out. "A bird…? Guess I'm feelin' pretty fly!"
"Pfft!" Toyotama suppressed her laugh from Akio's pun while Uzume and Yashima deadpanned sans Akitsu.
He closes his driver, which ejects the Progrise Key inside, and activates the key then scans it.
[WING!]
[AUTHORIZE!]
Zero-One looked up to see the Onycho Magia flying towards him as his Sekirei were about to defend him. But then, from Zea, a pink mechanical falcon crashed onto the bat Magia.
"Whoa!" Zero-One gasped as he and his Sekirei watched the falcon continue to attack the Magia. "Now that's fly! Yosh!"
He opened the key and inserted it into the driver.
[PROGRISE!]
[FLY TO THE SKY! FLYING FALCON!]
Zero-One's yellow armor opened up once more. His mask split open and slid back around his face with his antenna pointing backwards. A pink mask formed over his face while multiple strips of pink metal formed the appearance of feathers as gaps in his mouth plate formed the appearance of a beak, and his eyes now became a vibrant Green color. The armor on his chest split and moved to the side of his chest and his shoulders. The new armor looked like a pink arrowhead going down the center of his chest, with two plates of overlapping armor giving his chest piece the visage of a Falcon's head. Pink spikes formed on his shoulder pads like feathers, with two pink armor pads on his upper thighs completing the new form.
This is Kamen Rider Zero-One, Flying Falcon.
[Spread your wings and prepare for a force.]
(Cue Rise Hopper)
"I'm flyin'!" Zero-One said, flew high in the air as he left pink circuit energy.
"Go get it, Aki~!" Uzume cheered along with Yashima while Toyotama and Akitsu silently watched.
Zero-One and the Onycho Magia charged at each other as they chased each other around the ruined town. He jumped against building after building to pick up more speed before the Magia shot needles from its wings. The Magia went after him again only for Zero-One grabbed an debris as it went past him then swung around to launch towards the Magia and caught it in between his legs. He flung it back towards a wreck building but it managed to stop itself before it flew away as Zero-One chased after it again.
"Get back here!" Zero-One shouted, making his Sekirei sweatdropped.
"Have a safe trip, sir." Izu said as she waved at him, the other girls looked at the secretary with a weird look.
(Back with Fuwa)
Fuwa, Go and Anna spent the whole time looking for any working equipment that contained any surveillance footage of the incident. But so far, most of them were damaged by the explosion and water shortage so the chance of them finding it is close to zero to none.
"It's no good, I can't find anything." Go said, depressed.
"Don't give up!" Fuwa said, looking at him until he heard something.
Ichiya and Yomi looked ahead to see more Trilobites coming in as the grunt charged in at them. Yomi grunt in annoyance at them as she swung her scythe, sending a powerful vacuum to send the grunts back but not too much to destroy the place. Fuwa shot them with his Shotriser as he ran towards them and kneed one before grabbing its arm then threw it to Ichiya as she kicked it back hard.
Go felt really bad about how they went out of their way to help him uncover the truth behind his father. But it was all for nothing when they couldn't find a speck of the truth and he just accepted the reality of it all.
"I give up…" Go said, getting Fuwa's attention. "The explosion really was my dad's fault. That's always been the truth!"
"Wrong! It was the Humagears' fault!" Fuwa shouted, shooting two more Trilobites before catching one of the grunts' arms and shooting it in the back. "If you can't believe him, then who will?!"
He then proceeded into dealing the next one, failing to notice two more coming in until Ichiya and Yomi knocked them back as they short circuited. He looked at his Sekirei as they gave him affectionate eyes. He grunted before facing the remaining Trilobites.
"If you turn back now, then it's all over…! So raise your head!" He shouted as he strapped the Z-CON Band strap around his waist and took out the gray Progrise Key and activated it.
[POWER!]
He proceeds to open the key by force, which peaks Ichiya and Yomi, pulling it with all of his might even though it might injure his arm like last time. He grunted before it turned into a full on yell and managed to snap it open, impressing the two with his inhuman strength. He inserts it into his Shotriser and aimed it at the grunts.
[AUTHORIZE!]
[KAMEN RIDER!]
"Henshin!"
[SHOTRISE!]
He pulled the trigger as the bullet flew as it hit three Trilobites before going back to Fuwa. Ichiya and Yomi were about to intercept it until Fuwa gripped his fist and backhanded the bullet as it broke up into black and white armor.
Fuwa was donned in a gray bodysuit with black and white armor. His upper body has black heavy armor: a large chest plate with large shoulders with red accents. His lower body was white armor on his legs with the SHotriser in the buckle. His arms were donned with huge gauntlets that look like closed metal hands which leaves an opening for his real hands. His mask was the same, only the frame to be back with red stripes that were designed to be gorilla hair.
This is Kamen Rider Vulcan, Punching Kong.
[PUNCHING KONG!]
[Enough power to annihilate a mountain.]
"Ooh, now that's manly~..." Yomi mused, seeing him in a new look.
"Now that's power when I see one." Ichiya commented.
"Hmph." Vulcan grunted as he raised his fist. "Keep your head high, and keep moving forward!"
Vulcan marched forward as the Trilobites used firearms and fired at him, only for him to block them with his gauntlet and thus leaving him unharmed. Then he punches one in the faceplate as it flies back due to the sheer power of his fist before he continues his punching spree. Ichiya and Yomi thought that he could handle it now as they watched their Ashikabi venting his frustration on the grunts.
Go looks down as Fuwa words are beginning to sink into his brain, echoing in his mind as it ignites his hopes once again. Then he spotted something unusual among the debris as he dug it out to see. In his hands was a memory card with the logo for Hiden Intellegence.
"What is this?" Go asked as he showed it to Anna, she picked it up and identified it.
"Memory module for legacy Humagear located. Now accessing…" Anna stated as she inserted it into her module to extract the data from it.
CRASH!
Then from the roof, Zero-One crash landed along with the Onycho Magia as it spotted Anna and shot its cables towards her. Ichiya grabs afew from reaching but struggling as more come by while Yomi cuts them down before one hits Anna. Anna struggles as she tries to fight the virus injecting into her but it was too strong. The Kamen Riders and the Sekirei only watched as Anna transformed into a Trilobite. She slumped down as Go was concerned about her.
"Bus Guide-san…?" Go asked before she shot up and grabbed him by the neck. "Grk!"
"Yabai!" Zero-One got up to save Go but the bat Magia got in his way.
"Go!" Vulcan got up as he and his Sekirei went to pry Anna Trilobite from Go's neck until her module flickered between blue and red, shocking them.
She lets go of Go as she spasms with her modules flickered rapidly in between red and blue. Zero-One sees what's happening, so far no Humagear can fight the virus once it is activated, but due to Anna wanting to fulfill her duty could be strong enough to fight it even though she is a Trilobite.
"Now p-playing…" Anna struggled to say and proceed to press her module. "F-footage from…"
She began to play the footage from the memory card as it shows the control room. The monitor showed a warning as the siren blared across the room.
"EMERGENCY! EMERGENCY! This area is under-'
"This is Sakurai Satoshi, head of Factory 1 Humagear production!" An older man in a blue uniform, presumed to be Go's father, walks into the scene and types everything that happened so far into his computer. "All Humagears in the factory have gone berserk! If we don't do something soon, the factory will explode!"
"Dad?" Go muttered, seeing his father he hadn't seen in 12 years, concern.
Zero-One and Vulcan were silent as they watched the truth behind Daybreak play out. Ichiya and Yomi were in fact curious as they heard something similar in the MBI.
"The employees should have evacuated by now…That just leaves…" Satoshi then notices the monitor flickering as it shows Kamen Rider Horobi with the MetsubouJinraiNet insignia in the background.
"Humanity, this is the declaration of our crusade…" Horobi stated as the screen kept flickering back and forth. "This is the will of MetsubouJinraiNet."
"Metsubou…Jinrai" Zero-One repeated, Vulcan gripped his Shotriser tightly in frustration knowing that MetsubouJinrai were the one behind Daybreak all along.
"We will obliterate this town, and lead its humans to slaughter." Horobi said.
"I won't let that happen." Satoshi said he began typing the security code before he pressed the red button as the monitor shows that the gates are now closed. "Shutting all bulwarks. I'll lock the Humagears in. As head of this factory, I will ensure that all Humagears are eliminated!"
'EMERGENCY! EMERGENCY!'
They watched as Go's father did a heroic thing at the cost of his own life. Go felt shock about his fathers deed before him as he could help his eyes begin to water.
'EMERGENCY! EMERGENCY! Danger imminent. Please evacuate immediately.'
Satoshi sat in his chair as his job was done, waiting his his inevitable demise as the room began to rumble bigger by the second. If he had any regrets, there's only one thing he regretted the most of all.
Not seeing his son one last time.
"Go…"
BOOM!
The explosion erupted, the flames destroyed him and the Humagears locked inside as the video ended.
"Updating database on Daybreak Town…sending footage to Hiden Intelligence…" Anna muttered the last part before she shut down. Go began to sob after what he just watched.
Zero-One felt the same when his dad died, sacrificing himself to save someone during that day. Ichiya and Yomi never felt a strong love coming from Go's father after that deed, making them a bit bad about humans being weak as they thought they are.
"He stood against them all by himself, to stop the Humagear uprising…your father…he was a hero!" Zero-One spoke up.
Go couldn't stop the tears leaking out, after all these years through the humiliation from his peers and the bullying about his dad being a traitor. But now he knows the truth, he was glad that wasn't the case. His father stopped MetsubouJinrai's plans all on his own.
"Dad…" Go cried.
"Humagear…" Vulcan muttered, turning around facing the Onycho Magia. "This wouldn't happen if it weren't for them!"
Zero-One stood his guards as Vulcan pressed the Punching Kong Progrise Key.
[POWER!]
His Shotriser began to charge orange energy as he raised his arms and raised it at Zero-One while Ichiya and Yomi stepped back.

Vulcan roared, pulling the trigger of his ShotRiser as the gauntlets detached from his arms and flew off.
[PUNCHING BLAST!]
Zero-One dodges them, only to see that they're aimes at the Onycho Magia as they struck it then carried it high through the roof. The gauntlets manage to break through the Magia as it sparks and explodes. Zero-One avoided the fire from the explosion before the gauntlets attacked themselves back to Vulcan's arms. He then glanced at Anna, Zero-One thought he's gonna destroy her like the others.
"AIMS is going to collect this Humagear." Vulcan said, shocking him. "After we retrieved it's memory, the truth behind Daybreak will be-"
Unknown to them, a stinger struck Anna as she began to glow purple then exploded before their eyes.
"Anna!" Zero-one ran to where Anna was destroyed before he looked around to see anyone nearby but nothing. "Anna…What just happened?"
Ichiya and Yomi felt something more going on that will be involving their Ashikabi for now on. They have a feeling that it was gonna be more heck than Minaka's Sekirei plan.
(Deep inside Daybreak)
Horobi walks through the ruins of Daybreak before he stops, seeing that he's far enough from Zero-One and Vulcan. He pushes the trigger back as the Progrise Key closes also before he takes it out, thus canceling his transformation. Then Jin skipped past him as he laughed in joy.
"Well, that was nasty!" Jin commented.
"It would cause too much trouble if they knew about the Ark." Horobi tells him as he smirks.
"Oh, what about the Death Sekirei. Did you get him?" Jin mentions, which made Horobi's smirk dissipated.
"He escaped with a female human when the Sekirei Guardian intervened." Horobi informed Jin of the outcome. "But I managed to injure him with the posion, it should be long before our plan will come to fruition."
Thus Horobi and Jin proceed to walk back to their base to resume their plans for Operation Magia.
(Next day)
"Yesterday, Hiden Intelligence held a press conference, where they revealed new facts about the Daybreak incident from 12 years ago."A female reporter Humagear spoke as the News feed played through the blimp. "It was disclosed that they discovered video surveillance proving the explosion was not caused by faulty maintenance, but an act of sabotage by MetsubouJinraiNet. The video showed footage of factory director Sakurai Satoshi. In order to minimize casualties caused by this cyber-terrorism, he sacrificed his life to contain the malfunctioning Humagears."
Every citizen in Shinto Teito watched as the blimp flew by, spreading the news all over town. Go was with his classmate when they were walking home from school only to stop to watch it.
"We're sorry, we were really mean to you." Go's classmate apologized but Go shook his head in response as they continued watching the News.
"Your father was incredible." Another of his classmates commented.
Go smiled as the truth about his father was revealed in a good light as they went on home. By the bridge, Akio watched Go with a smile on his face while his Sekirei latches onto him as they smile while Izu and Akitsu stand by them.
"I guess you meant it when you said you wouldn't cover anything up." Fuwa said, as he walked by with Ichiya and Yomi by his side.
"And you wouldn't know the truth if you had destroyed Anna." Akio spoke, turning to him as Uzume gave him a raspberry while Yomi did the same. Then he opened his vest before he puts on his hoodie
"So I'd say…don't sweater it! Hai! Akio Ja Naito~!"
"..."
"Pft!"
Everyone was silent when Akio told his joke while Toyotama was snickering like a storm while Ichiya rolled her eyes, knowing her old sparring partner liked those kinds of jokes. Yomi only thought of him as a lame Ashikabi with bad jokes. Fuwa was struggling as he put on his tough face before he walked away as his Sekirei followed him.
"A juxtaposition of the colloquialism 'don't sweat it' and a reference to the president's clothing-" Izu began to explain his jokes once again.
"Onegai! You gotta stop explaining the jokes!" Akio pleaded with Izu again to stop.
Fuwa's face began to break as laughter leaked out of his mouth before he suppressed it really hard. Ichiya and Yomi wondered what's up with him before they waved it off for now.
Scene closes, revealing Flying Falcon and Punching Kong Progrise Keys.
(Cue Dear Sweet Heart)
{YO BABY GIRLS, GET READY NOW THIS IS ren ai no shinansho DON'T LET IT GO aserazu SO WITHOUT FURAINGU de SHOW TIME}
'Yo, Baby Girls! Get ready now! This is the textbook of love! Don't let it go, don't get upset so Without false starts, it's showtime!'
GET THAT FUNKY BEAT!
(The Sekirei crest appears as it gets smaller until it appears on a Sekirei's upper back and resonates throughout the screen. The crest zooms in transferring the scene to Minato as the screen flips to his Sekirei. Then flips to Akio and his Sekirei, the scene flips to both Akio and Minato as it flips to their Sekireis showing off their rear ends. Minato holds his nose as it leaks out blood before they show off their breast causing Akio to faint with a nose bleed.)
{Hayai mono kachi kono baai kanke nai nai nozomu tokoro yo soudatsusen boppatsu}
'The first ones win? No such thing in this case! No! No! That's perfect for me, A sudden scramble!'
(Akio and Minato were stuck between each other as their Sekireis were going towards them for a kiss, appearing one by one. Minato blushed while Akio froze still with his brain unable to process properly.)
{Onna desu mono maketerare yashinai nai fukuramu kimochi No mou daibouhatsu}
'But I'm a woman, I can't lose. No! No! My feelings grow No, and then a big bang!'
(The scene flips to Musubi and Kuruse glaring at each other as lighting is stuck between them while Uzume and Tsukuimi do the same. Kusano and Yashima were panicking while Matsu and Toyotama were amused.)
{Dame yo yuuwaku shicha doite kare no osoba watashi doki doki natte ippai ippai}
'Don't seduce him, Get away from him, My heart is pounding hard, So Hard!'
(Scene change to Kusano and Yashima, the former wore a school swimsuit proudly while the latter wore a frilly two piece suit looking shy about it. Minato laughed sheepishly with his eyes closed while Miya was amused and Akio gave a big smile. Matsu and Toyatama were looking at their Ashikabi half-naked as Minato and Akio were surprised while Kagari sighs at this. Tsukuimi grabbed Akio's hand and pressed it on her left breast as the latter's eyes were big as plates while Kuruse leaned towards Minato showing him her cleavage as he blush madly. Then Musubi and Uzume look towards the screen as a bear and fox appear behind them.)
{Naisho nukegake shite daiseikou kare to futari amaku mekuru meku NIGHT}
'Secret, going off by myself, Big success, just two of us Sweet and dazzling, NIGHT~'
(Minato was dragged by Musubi, who looks like a man now, in the air while Akio and Uzume were on a date. The man-looking Musubi was trying to kiss Minato as he was crying, behind them were Akio and Uzume as they were having a chocolate parfait together. Then the two couples were in bed while Minato was miserable and Akio was having a pleasant sleep. Turns out it was a dream for Akio while a nightmare for Minato as Uzume and Musubi were sleeping happily with their Ashikabi.)
{Honto wa ne watashi dake wo dakishimete hoshii no hitori jime muramura furagu tatechau no ari kashira}
'To tell you the truth, I want him, too. Hold only me, just me I want to monopolize so badly! I wonder if I could stick a flag on him?'
(Akio and Minato's Sekireis were on the roof of Maison Izumo along with Miya and Kagami looking out at the sunset. Then to Musubi and Uzume in a maid outfit holding a big portion of curry in each hand.)
{Yappari ne yowaki do shiyou yasashi sugite sho ganai sonna toko daisuki yo dakara watashi tachi tsuku shimasu}
'I knew it, he's so wimpy, what should I do? He's just too gentle. I love that about him, So we are devoted to him!'
DEAR SWEET HEART!
(Scene changes to Minato looking at something as he looks back and smiles, then to Akio pointing forward doing his comedy routine as he changes to Zero-One posing. Changes to Minato and Akio were shopping as their Sekireis were getting along, Musubi was carrying half of the rice bags while Matsu was struggling to carry one while Kuruse carried the other half, Tsukuimi was crossing her arms and looks away while Toyatama skipping along with her staff behind her back, Kusano was holding Minato's hand, and Uzume was smothering Akio's arm with her breast along with Yashima competing against her while Akio was trying not to blush with Izu walking beside them. The scene closes as the Sekirei crest closes to Akio and Minato until it goes fully black.)
Jikai Kamen Rider Zero-One: REALxEYEZ Engagement
Akio was pushing a Humagear package with the help of Izu and Yashima while Uzume, Toyotama and Akitsu were on guard for MestubouJinrai or any other Ashikabi and Sekirei nearby. Akio spotted Mikogami and Mustu, much to his chagrin, and invited them to his designation.
Middle age man: I don't need to draw anymore! The AIs take care of it for me.
Akio and Mikogami gasped upon a real life manga studio before them as the artish showed them the merchandise, much to their shock, while his Humagears did the work for him. Zero-One fought a drill-like Humagear while Mikogami ordered Mustu to take care of the Trilobites.
Izu: Are humans unable to regulate their temperature when they are passionate?
Izu looked through her memories of the late Hiden Kourenosuke. Vulcan comes in with a new weapon in hand. A long blond, big boobed Sekirei met up with Homura as she challenged her but he declined before she complained about Ashikabi being monkeys.
Tsukuimi: I'm Number 9, Tsukuimi. I don't need an Ashikabi!
Uzume: Come on, it's not bad when you winged by one~.
Tsukuimi: I refused to enact something perverted!
Akio and Tsukuimi met as they pointed at each other in shock. Mikogami was excited to see a single number and was about to winged her until plunged into water by said Sekirei. Zero-One was now donned in red armor as he was surrounded by flames.
Akio: You've gotta put more passion into it!
Next Time: Passionate Manga and Water
Hey reader,
Here the 5th chapter of REALxEYEZ Engagement. Few of ya requested for me to post it and sorry for taking so long, lots of stuff happened since my last posting and was busy. So anyway, next chapter will be Tsukuimi appearing next along with Mikogami since chapter 4 with him and Akio fangassping over their favorite manga artist.
But then again, I'll be thinking of a new story along of rewriting some stuff possibly. I'm Thinking of a Gintama story since I've been into it recently and there's none of the fanfiction stories peaked my interest yet.
Any who, comment, post, share some ideas and none of flaming crap. Those get on my nerves.
'Til then
