I am so sorry that I am late. Please enjoy.
(This is a recap from the last episode)
Michael then ran and jumped, doing his typical air summersault, as a red energy drill appears and was near the Elephant's chest, who was still distracted by Yuka, who then turned to see Faiz, but was paralyzed from movement.. Michael then did his Crimson Smash kick and entered into the red drill, which hit the Elephant, in Rush Form.
Michael then came back after his kick, in a red figure for a couple of seconds. The red Faiz symbol shows up on the Elephant Orphnoch's chest and, in his Rush Form, crumble into to ash.
Police Station
"Excuse me," A young man said, bowing to detectives Jyoji Soeno and Nobuhiko Sawamura, as he started to leave.
"Morishita-san comes here often, doesn't he?" Soeno asked Sawamura.
"He really does. However, regarding the serial murder cases... the investigation has been closed. There's nothing to tell him," Sawamura said to Soeno, who took some breath mints.
"Well... I don't think he understands that," Soeno said. "One victim, his younger sister, Chie-san, was apparently very close to him."
Morishita's Car
The young man, Morishita, sat in his car and looked at the picture of his late sister, smiling while giving a peace sign.
"Chie..." Morishita said.
Kiba's Apartment
Yuka was making breakfast, on an early sunrise.
"Why did you have to get us up this early?" Kaido complained.
"The Orphnoch are getting stronger everyday, and Smart Brain has more plans. We have to be prepared," Yuka explained.
"Osada-san is right. I think when she saved Michael from being poisoned, Smart Brain has all eyes on us," Kiba added.
"But still…could you let me hibernate?" Kaido complained.
"The early bird gets the worm," Yuka said.
"Don't joke about yourself," Kaido snapped. Yuka looked confused, then she realized on what Kaido was talking about.
"Oh now I get it," Yuka said, as she and Kiba then giggled. Kiba's cell phone then rang and Kiba quickly picked it up and answered it.
"Hello?" Kiba said on the cell.
"Ah! Is that Yuji-kun? This is Morishita Yoshimasa… Do you remember me?" The voice said, which made Kiba's eyes widen. "I'm the older brother of Morishita Chie, whom you used to date. Come to think of it, do you remember?"
How could Kiba forget?
January 27, 2003
Chie Morishita ran, as she was paranoid that the police considered her to be a suspect of Kazaki Kiba's murder. Chie stopped when she saw Kiba, standing, underneath a bridge.
"Yuji! Ah! Sorry about what just happened..." Chie apologized, as she used Kiba, by telling the police that he was the killer, for a distraction, in order to escape. "I was suddenly scared and..."
"Chie... It's just like you said last night... while I was sleeping you changed... But... The turth is that I changed, too," Kiba told Chie, who was confused by this.
"What? What are you talking about Yuji?" Chie asked, and Yuji showed Chie what he was talking about, as his face faded gray. Chie screamed in horror, as she saw her ex-lover transform into the knight-looking Horse Orphnoch, in Dash Form.
Chie was lifted from the throat, by Kiba. As a train passed by, Kiba stabs Chie in the heart with his Horse Sword, killing him.
Kiba's Apartment
Kiba could never forget the day that he stabbed Chie. He let his emotions and Orphnoch instincts to get the better of him. Yuka took notice of this, as she can tell people's expressions. She noticed regret in Kiba's body language.
"Hello? Yuji-kun?" Morishita asked on the phone, which made Kiba come back to reality. "Actually…I have something really important to tell you. Can we meet somewhere close?"
Kiba didn't respond, as he felt guilt in his heart on what he did to Chie.
"Alright," Kiba softly said as he then hanged up.
"What's wrong? Did something happened?" Yuka asked.
"That was Morishita Yoshimasa… Chie's older brother," Kiba explained.
"Chie… You mean you ex-girlfriend?" Yuka asked, with Kiba nodding yes.

Episode 15: Yuji Kiba's Lover
Kikuchi Cleaners
Michael was on the couch, exhausted, with Mari looking annoyed.
"Why are you just laying there?" Mari asked.
"I have been fighting the Orphnoch for 4 months," Michael said. "I think I deserve a break."
"But they are getting stronger, we have to be stronger," Mari said. "Maybe you're right. I am exhausted as well. I really need a break from this fighting that's been going on."
"What will you do?" Michael asked.
"I'm going to go to the salon. I have to be there anyways. Later," Mari said, as she grabbed her things and headed out, when she then passes by Yuka, who walked in the cleaners. "Hi Osada-san."
"Hi," Yuka greeted back.
"Bye, Osada-san," Mari said as she left.
"Bye," Yuka said, as she walked to the front desk and ringed the bell, which made Michael got up from the couch.
"What?" Michael groaned, until he saw Osada. "Osada-san. I'm sorry, I didn't recognize you."
"It's alright," Yuka said. "I can tell you're tired from fighting the Orphnoch. You probably need a break. Which is a good time for some help."
"With what?" Michael asked.
"Well, I just got a job with Mari at the salon, I start next week, and I need to learn how to drive," Yuka explained.
"You came to the wrong person, I don't know how to drive," Michael said, which made Yuka sighed, "But, I do know some traffic safety. Kikuchi is out getting laundry detergent. I'm sure he wouldn't mind for me being out for an hour or so."
"Thank you," Yuka said with a smile.
"That makes it the third time we helped each other out," Michael said, as he walked out of the door with Yuka. "First, I saved you from the Mantis Orphnoch, while giving you words of encouragement, and then, you saved my from a poisonous death. So I guess that will make us even."
"If it's a third time, it's not being even," Yuka corrected Michael.
Smart Brain
A man in black, with a dark blue rose on his pocket square, walked into Murakami's office.
"You call me, sir?" The subordinate asked.
"Yes, I did," Murakami said. "I want you to attack one of the renegade Orphnoch. Either Kiba Yuji or Osada Yuka. Maybe Kaido Naoya, haven't heard from him for a while. Just get that done."
"Yes sir," The subordinate said as he walked away from Murakami's office.
Kiba's Apartment
"So... ever since Chie died, you've been chasing after the murderer?" Kiba asked Morishita, who just entered the former's apartment and made himself comfortable.
"Yes," Morishita said. "The police say that there's no case and she died from cardiac arrest, but I can't believe that at all. I looked at the autopsy and there was a stab wound on her chest, which where her heart was. I'm sure that there's a murderer... and I'm definitely going to try to catch him."
(Cue Day Spa Head Trauma by VideoHelper; 0:00-0:36, 0:47-1:18)
Kiba looked at Morshita's hands, which were clamped together.
"With these hands... justice will arrive," Morishita said, as Kiba then thought back on when he killed Chie, and was unaware that it will have an emotional impact on her younger brother. "However... No matter what, I have limits while trying to search by myself. Which is why I'd like you to cooperate with me."
"I...I really shouldn't," Kiba said, as he felt terrible on what happened to Chie.
"Don't you want Chie to rest in peace?" Morishita asked.
"Yeah, but I don't want to take on this vengeance road," Kiba said.
"Just think about it. Oh, yeah," Morishita said, as he reach for his pocket, which he took out a marble strap. "Recently, while I was sorting through Chie's belongings...I found this. A cell phone strap. It seems like she made this for you, Yuji-kun, before you went into your 2-year coma."
"Chie made that for our planned-to-be one year anniversary?" Kiba asked.
"Yes. She must've kept on to it to have hope in you. I think Chie would've wanted you to keep it," Morishita said as he gave the strap to Kiba's palm. Kiba can only give a forced smile.
Near the City Highway
(End Track)
Kaido, on his motorcycle was in traffic, he needed to get away from KIba' apartment.
"Come on move it!" Kaido yelled. As the light turned green, Kaido started ride off, until a dark blue rose causes Kaido to lose focus and control of his motorcycle, sending him flying into an alleyway.
"What the hell?" Kaido asked, as he then saw Murakami's subordinate, holding the dark blue rose.
"It seems you have lost your Orphnoch way," the subordinate said. "I shall put some sense into you."
The subordinate's face faded black and he transformed into the Rhinocerosbeetle Orphnoch, who looks like a European Knight, with a similar body to the Scarab Orphnoch, and summoned a halberd as a weapon. Kaido's face then faded white and transformed into the Snake Orphnoch, then did a punch to the Rhinocerosbeetle's chest, but little impact. The Rhinocerosbeetle then did a cross slash to Kaido shoulder, causing Kaido to fall to the asphalt. The Rhinocerosbeetle then kicked Kaido into some barrels, and then walked towards to him.
A few moments later, with Michael and Yuka
"Turn!" Michael said.
"I can't I don't know how!" Yuka said, as the horn behind them kept honking. "It's my first time!"
"Stop the car!" Michael said, and Yuka hit the brake, and the both of them were breathing heavily.
"I don't think I can do this," Yuka said.
"I want you to believe in yourself," Michael said. "But, I want to help you while being calm. Let's just start with something new. First, never have distractions."
"Ok, I'm already good at that here, what's next?" Yuka asked.
"Check your wing mirror, which is on the left, and your rear view mirror, to check if there are any other cars," Michael added. Yuka then looked at the wing mirror, and there were, like, three drivers behind them. "Do you seen any drivers?"
"Yes, angry," Yuka replied.
"Ok... ok," Michael said. "Just breathe. Breathe, don't overthink the situation."
Yuka then took a deep breath, as she took her hands off the wheel, then took her hands back on the wheel. She started to drive slowly, as she pressed the accelerator, but then started to drive at a steady pace.
"Steady, steady," Michael said. Yuka then smiled.
"I did it," Yuka said. "I did it!"
"Good job, Osada-san," Michael said. "Don't get cocky, now."
Kiba's Apartment
Kiba kept looking at the phone strap on the circular glass table.
"I can't…" Kiba said, as he looked at the phone strap. "To have me keep it."
Back with Michael and Yuka
"Hey…I'm think I'm getting the hang of this," Yuka said while keeping her eyes on the road.
"I wasn't… too harsh was I?" Michael asked.
"Honestly, no," Yuka said. "You were very helpful. Actually, you've been helpful in my life since the beginning. You comforted me after I died and came back to life and an Orphnoch… you protected me… and you actually… care about me. I haven't experienced anyone with that for so long."
"Like what?" Michael asked.
"Michael…I think I…" Yuka started, until she hit the brakes, almost hitting someone.
"Kiba-san," Michael said as he saw Kiba in front of the van.
Meanwhile, with Morishita
Morishita was driving his black car to find more. More evidence, more connections, more everything relating to Chie. Morishita then stopped when he saw Kaido, in Orphnoch form, flying in the the ground. The Rhinocerosbeetle Orphnoch then came jumping in to do another attack on Kaido, until he turned to see Morishita with fear. The Rhinocerosbeetle walked to Morishita's right car window (Morishita's right) and punched it, breaking the glass.
When Yuka saw this, she hit the breaks, which caused Michael and Kiba's attention.
"Orphnoch!" Yuka said, as she saw the Rhinocerosbeetle Orphnoch choking Morishita to death.
"Morishita-san!" Kiba called out as he hurried outside of the car, which caughted the attention of the Rhinocerosbeetle Orphnoch. Yuka then hurried out because she noticed Kaido injured from the battle against the Rhinocerosbeetle.
"Kaido-san!" Yuka cried, as she hurried outside the car as well to Kaido's side. The Rhinocerosbeetle then ran away, which Michael and Yuka noticed.
"Kiba-san! Take care of those two…Michael and I are going after that Orphnoch," Yuka said. Kiba nodded, and Yuka got back into the driver's seat and rode to catch up with the Orphnoch.
"Hold on! Both of you!" Kiba cried, shaking Morishita. "Morishita-san! Morishita-san! Morishita-san!"
Docks
The Rhinocerosbeetle Orphnoch looked back to see if the van was following him. He saw noting and kept running, until he saw the van pulling up in front of him. Then, Michael, with the belt on, stepped out of the van.
555
Standing By!
Henshin!
Complete!
Michael transformed into Faiz as he leaped behind the Rhinocerosbeetle, and did a side punch.
(Insert Dead or Alive by Shinichi Ishihara; 0:16-0:35, 2:33-3:05)
The Rhinocerosbeetle took out hold of Michael's wrist, but Michael grabbed the former, and threw him near the water. Michael ran to the Rhinocerosbeetle, but the Rhinocerosbeetle got the upper hand, when he summoned his halberd and slashed at the metal chest, then jumped behind Michael and held him from behind with his halbert. Michael then takes out the Faiz Pointer and inserts the Mission Memory into it, converting it into its Kick Mode.
Ready!
Michael stepped on the Rhinocerosbeetle's foot and punched him in the face, sending him flying. Michael puts the Faiz Pointer on his right Power Ankle, opens the Faiz Phone, and pressed the enter button.
Exceed Charge!
A low red light came from the phone, through the red Photon Blood of the suit, and entered to the right Power Ankle's Energy Holster. When the light and the flashlight made contact, the flashlight glowed. Michael then ran and jumped, doing his typical air summersault, as a red energy drill appears and was near the Rhinocerosbeetle's chest . ichael then did his Crimson Smash kick and entered into the red drill, which hit the Rhinocerosbeetle.
Michael then came back after his kick, in a red figure for a couple of seconds. The red Faiz symbol shows up on the Rhinocerosbeetle's chest and the Rhinocerosbeetle Orphnoch crumbles into ash.
(End Insert Song)
Michael then turns, and then gets hit, but a saw-like weapon in the face. As Michael fell, he sees the Crocodile Orphnoch, Mr. J.
"You!" Michael said, as Mr. J then puts his crocodile-like foot on Michael's throat, trying the suffocate him to death.
Again, I am so sorry that this is late. I'll try my best to keep things on track. Originally, this was going to be filler, but I had to make this a two-episode arc. I also have a new story called Genesis You can go to my profile and find the story there. Thank you for reading this, and I'll see you next time.
