I am sorry that this is late again. Please forgive me.
(This is a recap from the last episode)
A low red light came from the phone and went to the right leg, until it made way for the flashlight. When the light and the flashlight made contact, the flashlight glowed. Michael then jumped and did an air summersault and the flashlight glowed and a red energy drill appears and was near the Rhinocerosbeetle's chest . Michael then did a flying side 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 turns to ash.
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.
Yuka watches from the distance, wanting to help Michael. But, Michael kicked J's crocodile-like back, with little damaged, but J's foot got off of Michael's throat. J turned and punched Michael in the stomach, as Michael got back up. J was about to do another punch, until he saw highs hand about to turn to ash.
"Time's up, already?" J asked himself as he turned to Michael. "Next time."
Mr. J then jumped on top of a warehouse, and walked away.

Episode 16: Rampaging Power
Yuka helped a wounded Michael to the laundry van, with Yuka at the driver's seat, and Michael on the passenger's seat.
"Are you alright?" Yuka asked.
"Not sure," Michael replied. "Maybe. That guy is very strong. I don't get it, why did he have to leave?"
"I don't know," Yuka said. "To change the subject, we were even more than four times."
"How so?" Michael asked.
"First, you saved me from the stairs, and from the Orphnoch, the next day. Then, I saved you from Kiba killing you, and aided you against three Orphnoch, Kaido being one of them. You saved me again from that female Orphnoch. Then I saved you from a poisonous death," Yuka explained. "So now, it's your turn."
"Are you saying that this fight is a game?" Michael asked.
"No. I kind of like us working together," Yuka explained.
"Why?" Michael asked.
"If I tell you, you might laugh," Yuka said.
"What?" Michael asked.
"I'll tell you another time," Yuka said, as she drove off from the fight.
Kiba' s Apartment
Morishita woke up, with a fast rise, and noticed that Kiba was near his side.
"This is…" Morishita said. "What happened to me?"
"You don't remember?" Kiba asked.
"Sort of. I get the feeling I was in some sort of accident…and a monster was involved," Morishita said, as he referred to him being choked by the Rhinocerosbeetle Orphnoch.
"Well…you were," Kiba said. "I have friend who's on the couch, resting."
Morishita saw an injured Kaido on the couch.
"Don't worry…I'm alright," Morishita said. "Why are you here? Was it about Chie? You've decided to help me search for the culprit?"
"No," Kiba said. "I thought…I'd return this to you."
Kiba showed the cellphone strap, that Morishita gave from Chie.
"I see…so you decided to forget about Chie," Morshita assumed.
"It's…just to much for me," Kiba said, as Morishita took the cellphone strap from Kiba. "I'm sorry."
"No, I understand how you feel. Please don't worry about it," Morishita said. "But I'm going to keep searching. For now, I'm going to search along the path to Chie's university again. No mater what, I'm going to find the criminal who killed Chie!"
"Um…" Kiba said, as he tried not to reveal to Morishita that he was the one who killed his little sister. "If you do find the culprit…what do you plan on doing?"
"Yuji-kun…" Morishita said as he clenched his hands together with the cellphone strap in his palms. "To find Chie's killer, I would even sell my soul to the devil. I plan to die with the killer."
This caught Kiba really worried for Morishita, as the latter planned to do a murder-suicide.
An apartment building
"I told you to cut It out, Morishita-san," said a brown mohawked young man. "This "visiting multiple times" behavior is very annoying."
"I'm sorry Tatsumi-san," Morishita apologized. "Um, I thought you might have remember something, No matter how small, it's okay."
Tatsumi sighed and got up from his sleeping bag, walking to Morishita.
"It looks like you looked up to your sister...But Chie played around a lot," Tatsumi said, which made Morishita confused and upset. "She liked to be flashy. Those kind of girls tend to provoke a lot of grudges."
Under the railway
Morishita walked under a railway, as he then covered his ears on what Tatsumi said.
"It looks like you looked up to your sister...But Chie played around a lot."
"That's not true..." Morishita said. "That's not true!"
Morishita then turned as he uncovered his ears, and somewhat unknown to him, Morishita had transformed into the gladiator-looking Armadillo Orphnoch.
Laundry Van
Yuka's eyes widen, and she hit the brakes on the car, making the car stopped and caught the attention of Michael.
"What?" Michael asked.
"Armadillo," Yuka said.
"Excuse me?" Michael said in confusion.
"Whenever there's an Orphnoch attacking I can feel them where and when they're attacking," Yuka explained. "However...this one seems different. This one feels new. It's moving in anger and sorrow."
Michael then closed his eyes, and opened them after seven seconds.
"Um, Osada-san...you know that Morishita guy?" Michael asked Yuka.
"Yeah...why?" Yuka asked.
"Well..." Michael tried to say.
"He's an Orphnoch...right?" Yuka said.
"No doubt about it...that Orphnoch from a few hours ago..killed him...and he was revived as an Orphnoch," Michael confirmed.
"Then if he's moving unsure of his powers..." Yuka said as he her eyes widen, and she quicky grabbed the gear shifter, and pressed the accelerator pedal and drove to find the confused Orphnoch.
Tatsumi's apartment Building
Tatsumi of his apartment dorm walked out with a green bag and green jacket, where he then turned to see Morishita again.
"You're still here?" Tatsumi asked as he annoyingly sighed.
"Please take it back," Morishita demanded.
"Hm? Take back what?" Tatsumi asked.
"My sister...your insult to Chie...TAKE IT BACK!" Morishita demanded as he transformed into the Armadillo Orphnoch. The newly transformed Morishita walked towards to Tatsumi, killing him off-screen.
A few seconds later
"Excuse me," Keitaro said. "This is Kikuchi from the cleaners."
Keitaro's eyes widen as he saw the Armadillo Orphnoch and ran in fear. The Armadillo looks at his hands, as he transforms back into Morishita.
Back with Michael and Yuka
Michael's pad began to start an alarm.
"Orphnoch!" Michael called out.
"Location?" Yuka asked.
"It's near an apartment. About a couple miles away," Michael said, as he then reciveved a call from his Faiz phone.
"Hello?" Michael asked.
"Michael! An Orphnoch!" Keitaro cried on the phone, as Yuka stepped on it.
Kiba's Apartment
Kiba received a call from his cell, and answered it.
"Hello?" Kiba said.
"Yuji-kun? It's horrible...something unbelieveable...happened," Morishita said on the phone.
Kiba immediately hang up, as he knew what happened, and went to search for Morishita.
Tatsumi's apartment building
Morishita hung up the phone after Kiba did, and stood up, as he looked at Tatsumi's dead body, after being curled in fear.
"You're wrong, Tatsumi-san. My sister..you insulted Chie. Chie was not flashy!" Morishita said. "That's right...I'm Chie's older brother. I will...protect Chie."
Morishita then ran out as Tatsumi turned in ash.
A couple minutes later
"Michael! Osada-san! Over here!" Keitaro called out, as the trio ran up the stairs to the apartment room. But when they entered Tatsumi's room, the Orphnoch, who was Morishita, was already gone. "What? There was an Orphnoch right here just a while ago."
"The Orphnoch sensor never lies," Michael said, as Kiba then ran in to see Tatsumi's dead ashes.
"Kiba-san," Yuka said.
"Eh...why is he here?" Keitaro asked.
"There should be a man around here," Kiba said. "Do you know him? Where did he go?"
"Well...he suddenly disappeared," Keitaro added, as, unnoticeable to him, Yuka closed her eyes.
"Where are you?" Yuka thought, for a few brief moments as she then opened her eyes. "Kiba-san...where was the last place Morishita said he was going to?"
Kiba then remember on what Morishita said on where he was going.
"For now, I'm going to search along the path to Chie's university again."
Kiba then ran out in a hurry.
"Kiba! Wait!" Michael said, as he, Yuka, and Keitaro chased after Kiba. Kiba already got to his car and searched for the university that Chie attended to. Keitaro, Michael, and Yuka got to their laundry van and drove to where Kiba was going.
Aoba Kokusai University
A young college student, Jun Haguro, hurries to his next class, but is confronted by someone's relative he knew...Morishita Yoshimasa.
"Hey...aren't you Morishita's Chie's older brother?" Jun asked.
"Stop insulting Chie," Morishita demanded.
"What?" Jun asked.
"I already know...You looked down on Chie, don't you?" Morishita assumed, as he held Jun aggressively.
"What the hell are you talking about? I'm in a hurry, so move!" Jun snapped as he pushed Morishita away, causing Morishita to drop his cell with the cellphone strap. Morishita's face faded gray, and he shouted in anger, as he transformed into the Armadillo Orphnoch. Jun turned to see Morishita as the Armadillo Orphnoch. The Armadillo turned to Jun and tentacles came from his mouth, and went inside Jun's left ear, and mouth, causing his heart to burst into blue flames. Jun then fell on the ground dead. Kiba then ran to see on what Morishita had become.
"Morishita-san," Kiba said, as the Armadillo then turned to face Kiba.
"Look at me, Yuji..." Morishita said, as his human form appeared in his shadow. "To avenge Chie's murder...the gods have given me this power!"
"No...you're wrong. Stop this!" Kiba said. It was time for him to come clean. Time for the lie to end. "Chie...The one who killed Chie...was me."
Morishita was taken aback. Chie's ex-boyfriend, the one who Morishita trusted, killed his little sister. Morishita pushed Kiba in the face, and walked towards Kiba, stepping his cell and the cellphone brace, crushed. Morishita then grabbed Kiba by the throat, trying to choke him to death.
"Chie!" Morishita said. That was probably the only word Morishita knows now. Kiba's face faded gray, but then faded back to his human complexion. Michael saw this and punched Morishita in the back of the head. Morishita dropped Kiba and turned to Michael.
"Hey! Over here!" Michael called out, as Morishita growled. "Run!"
The college students ran for safety as Michael distracted Morishita. Yuka and Keitaro then noticed Kiba on the ground, motionless.
(Cue Satan's Babysitter by VideoHelper; 0:00-1:16)
"Kiba-san!" Yuka screamed, as she and Keitaro ran towards him.
"That man is no longer human. His soul...He's lost the soul that makes him human. His mind is now only focusing on vengeance," Kiba said, as he began crying. "I can't stop him...I can't do anything. Why save me?"
"You're human...that's why," Yuka responded, as Kiba cried more. Yuka then turned to see Jun arisen from his death. Yuka ran to Jun, as Jun collapsed again, turning into ash. Yuka's hands were covered in ash as she felt the same pain Kiba did.
"Why? Why do people give in to this power?" Yuka asked herself.
(End Track)
Inside, Michael flew into the chemistry room, causing the students to scream. Morishita entered in the room and stepped on the kicked door.
"Chie!" Morishita said.
"Ok, do you know any other words?" Michael asked, as Morishita tried to step on Michael, but Michael dodged the step. "I guess not."
Morishita then growled and ran towards Michael, but Michael then tripped Morishita cuasing him to crash into a pipe. Keitaro and Yuka ran into the classroom, with Keitaro holding the belt.
"Michael!" Keitaro called out, as he threw the belt toward Michael, and Michael caught it and put it on.

Standing By!
Henshin!
Complete!
(Insert Dead or Alive by Shinichi Ishihara; 0:00-1:15)
Michael transformed into Faiz, and Morishita got up while pushing some chairs away. Michael tackled Morishita causing them to crash into a wall, and crash into a car in the parking lot. Both of Michael and Morishita's strength were matched. Morishita grabbed Michael clawed him towards the roof of a car. Morishita started to choke Michael, until an Orphnoch hand grabbed Morishita by the right hand and punched him to the driveway. That Orphnoch...was Kiba, the Horse Orphnoch.
"You came," Michael said, as Kiba took his hand out, and Michael unhesitantly took it, as Kiba pulled him up. Morishita summoned a sword and shield and began to used them to fight Michael and Kiba.
"I'll handle this," Kiba said, as his human form appeared in his shadow. Kiba jumped, while summoning his horse sword, and fought Morishita. Michael took out the Faiz Phone and opened it.

Auto Vajin, Get into the Action
Auto Vajin, in Battle Mode, came flying with his tire-like shield, and landed on the ground. Michael took out his mission memory as he ran to Auto Vajin and inserted the mission memory into the right handle.
Ready!
Michael took the right handle out, and the handle became a lightsaber. Michael then charged at Morishita and slashed it in the back. It was now Michael and Kiba vs. the Armadillo Orphnoch. After intense attacks, Kiba slashed Morishita's sword out of his hand, while Michael did an impale stab at Morishita's shield, sending Morishita. Michael then turned to Kiba.
(End Insert Song)
"Are you sure you want Morishita to die?" Michael asked.
"It's not that, I want his soul to be cured," Kiba responded as his human form appeared in his shadow. Michael then opened the phone, pressed the enter button, and closed the phone.
Exceed Charge!
Morishita then got up and ran towards Michael, who then does a slash, which fries an anti-gravity pulse along the ground, which also . Michael then charges towards the Morishita. The pulse then caught the Armadillo and levitated him on the ground, with the pulse becoming a cylinder of energy.
"Chie," Morishita said. Michael then did two slashes, the first right, and the second upward left. The second slash killed Morishita, as he de-levitated on the ground. The Faiz symbol flashes behind Morishita, as Morishita, the Armadillo Orphnoch, is cut in half as he turns to ash.
Michael then turned to Kiba, who reverted back to his human form. Michael took out the Faiz phone, opened it, and pressed the end call button, which caused the Faiz armor to disappear into lasers.
"Kiba..." Michael said.
"I never really thanked you for saving my life," Kiba said.
"I don't think I deserve that much praise," Michael commented.
"No...you do. When I first met you, I thought you were going to hurt Osada-san. But, you were just trying to protect her. And that's what I want to do...protect humans," Kiba said.
Michael smiled for a bit, while Kiba smiled back.
To Be Continued
That was Episode 16. Again, sorry for being late, again. I'm thinking of changing the publish dates to Monday, if this sort of thing happens again. But, trust me. Good writing, isn't easy. Yeah, Faiz had some weird and inconsistent writing. Characters are out of character, there are these side characters that don't impact the story, and the final arc just came out of nowhere. So, I'm trying to improve on Faiz's writing, while keeping the characters the same and they don't go out of character. Episode 13 is an example of this. Originally when Keiko doesn't give an answer for ripping up the laundry, Keitaro just gets annoyed and says he doesn't care anymore. That's why I changed that. It wasn't his character. Newsflash, Inoue, this isn't either Jetman anymore. You can't characters have conflicts.
Hopefully, you didn't find that annoying. I just want good writing to be consistent. Sure, the first 8 episode of Faiz were a bit inconsistent, in terms of writing, I was just coming back. But, I learned to remember parts of the story, be specific, and combining setences. Thank you so much for using your time to read my story. I really mean that. I will see you, boys, girls, and all in between, next time. Bye.
