"Michael!" A voice from a distance cried, and Michael turned to see Mari being abducted by and Orphnoch.
"Mari!" Michael cried.
"Help me!" Mari cried, before the Orphnoch, got away with Mari.
"Mari!" Michael cried, as the Orphnoch was escaping. Michael put on the Faiz belt and flipped open the Faiz phone.

"Mari!" Michael cried, calling out her name. "Where are you, Mari?!"
(Cue Tipping Cauldron of Steel by VideoHelper; 0:00-0:14, 0:56-1:11)
Michael then turned to see a whimpering Mari, from the shadows, backing away from an Orphnoch with the motif of a Shark.
"Mari!" Michael cried, before jumping up to tackle the Shark Orphnoch, who caught his arms and threw him to the ground.
"Orphnoch!" Michael cried, as the Shark Orphnoch generated 2 swords, in which the blade was saw-like, and the handle was hammer-like.
"Faiz...Michael Taylor...Don't get in my way," The Shark Orphnoch said.
"Your way?" Michael asked, as Mari then started to run away, which caught the Shark Orphnoch's attention. The Shark jumped at got in front of Mari, who backed away. "Hey!"
Michael then tackled the Shark, but the latter endure the tackle, and kneed Michael, causing him to fall to his knees, before being slashed by the Shark's swords, making Michael fly next to Mari.

Episode 32: Sleep Is Awakening
Docks
Mari hid behind Michael as the Shark Orphnoch was slashing at the metal chest of Faiz. The Shark then did other slash, but Michael was able to catch it.
"Why are you...after Mari?" Michael asked the Shark, who did more slashes at Michael's chest. Michael backed away when he bumped into Mari.
"Why does he want just me?!" Mari asked.
"Not sure! But, we need to get out of here!" Michael exclaimed, as he took out the Axel mission memory, from the Axel Watch, on his right wrist, and inserted it into the Faiz phone, kind of like replacing a battery.
Complete!
The chest plates of Faiz started to rise and recessed themselves into shoulder pads. The outlines of the Faiz suit flashed and turned from bright red to silver. Michael then pressed the red button on the Axel Watch.
Start Up!
Michael gained super speed as the area around him became slow motion. He used his super speed to have him and Mari to escape from the Shark Orphnoch.
"Whatever. This was a short prelude," The Shark said, as he did a collar adjustment motion.
Kikuchi Cleaners
Keitaro was parking the laundry van on the road, where he jumped when Michael, in Axel Form, appeared with Mari, which caused Keitaro to get out of his car.
Deformation!
The process from Faiz to Axel, starts to reverse, as Michael's Axel form, start to turn back into Faiz's regular form. Michael then undoes his transformation.
"Michael…Mari-chan… What happened to you two?!" Keitaro asked, concerned.
"An Orphnoch tried to abduct Mari. It was one I haven't seen before. It's also strange… I haven't seen this Orphnoch from my premonitions," Michael explained.
"Really? What Orphnochs have you saw?" Mari asked.
"All the Orphnochs I've defeated, so far. Except for, the Orphnochs of the Tortoise, Ostrich, Bear, Bee, Jellyfish, and that Shark," Michael told the two.
"That Orphnoch seemed familiar to me for some reason," Mari added.
"Yeah. He seemed to be familiar to me somehow," Michael agreed.
"A shark one you say. I should talk with Osada-san or Takkun about this Orphnoch. They're both Kaixa and Delta after all.," Keitaro said to the two, before walking to what appears to be a motorcycle.
"Woah. When did you get this?" Mari asked, impressed.
"Last week. It's stuffy in the van," Keitaro said, before sneezing.
Hospital
Yuka was looking at the cat-scans on Michiko's body, after her sudden revival.
"Your sister has made a full recovery after just an hour," The doctor told Yuka.
"So, I was just asleep?" Yuka asked.
(Cue Suspicion by VideoHelper; 0:00-1:11)
"Yes. But your sister's sudden revival after she flatlined is something that is rare in hospitals. As a doctor for 13 years, I've never witnessed anything like this since…" The doctor said, before pausing.
"Before what?" Yuka asked.
"Around January 25, 2001, A young man named Kiba Yuji, got in a car accident with his parents involved. His parents were immediately killed, but Yuji survived. However, he was put in a two-year coma, before dying, and then reviving after 15 minutes. Our nurses saw him wake up after covering a blanket after he presumedly died," The doctor explained, which had Yuka think that Michiko had revived as an Orphnoch.
Later
Yuka decided to call Kiba, since this was the hospital where he was revived as an Orphnoch.
"Kiba-san… I need your help…at the hospital. Michiko has awaken…and I think she's revived as an Orphnoch," Yuka said on the phone.
"An Orphnoch?" Kiba asked on the phone.
"Yeah," Yuka confirmed.
"Why are you standing there? Kill the humans!"
It was the voice from Yuka's head again, telling her to kill humans.
"This is my fault. If I haven't killed the basketball players…" Yuka said, blaming herself.
"It's not your fault. Neither I can forget about killing Kazaki and Chie. I replay that memory in my head, over and over, wanting to take it back. After Morishita and Kaido's kouhai lost themselves to the power… We should really help Michiko. Stay there, I'll be right there," Kiba said on the phone, before hanging up.
(End Track)
Yuka turned to see Michiko on the hospital bed, before the former sighs.
Later
Takumi was on his motorcycle following Saya, because the two of them were delivery laundry.
"Why did Mari ask me to delivery laundry at this time of day?" Takumi complained to himself, before another motorcycle came next to him, and the motorcycle rider kick Takumi's motorcycle, causing him to pull over. Saya noticed this and pulled over to witness what was going on.
"Hey! What the hell are you doing?!" Saya asked, before seeing the rider's face, through his biker window shield. "Kyosuke?!"
"Where is it?! Where's the Delta belt?!" Kyosuke asked, grabbing Takumi by the collar. "It was you! You tempted Arai and stole the Delta belt!"
"Stolen? What are you talking about?" Takumi asked, as Saya was restraining Kyosuke.
"Drop the act!" Kyosuke demanded, as Saya was restraining him. That's when Rina pulled up on her motorcycle, pulled up her biker googles, and got off it to restraint Kyosuke.
"Would you calm down, Kyosuke?!" Saya cried, restraining Kyosuke.
"Stop it, Kyosuke!" Rina cried, helping Saya.
"You know each other?! If you know each other, why are both of you fighting?!" Takumi asked.
"Call Michael, Mari, and Osada. Tell them to meet us at the docks," Saya said to Takumi.
Docks
Michael and Mari were able to meet Takumi, Saya, Rina, and Kyosuke at the docks. However, Yuka wasn't able to make it, due to…personal reasons.
"So you guys were fighting the Orphnoch somewhere I've never heard of before?" Mari asked.
"Yes…" Rina confirmed. "We transformed using the third belt…the Delta belt."
"The first belt created by Smart Brain," Michael corrected Rina. "However, it seems to be a prototype."
"Just like the Faiz and Kaixa belts… It seems that the Delta belt was also sent from our father," Rina continued.
"I was the one sent the belt. But the effects were changing my mental state," Saya explained.
"Father screwed up the recipient. The Delta Gear is mine. The truth is, I transformed into Dekta and defeated the Orphnoch," Kyousuke said, telling the group on how he defeated the Moose Orphnoch.
"Kyosuke, you did?! Really?" Mari said, in awe.
"Not just Kyosuke. Arai-kun and Kawachi-kun too… Everyone has used the power of the Delta Gear to fight," Rina added. "It's different from Kaixa. No one transformed into an Orphnoch after transforming. However…"
"That's right," Kyosuke said, walking to Takumi. "You're the current user of Delta, right? How did the power feel? The Delta Gear had tremendous power. You've transformed, so you understand the power it contains. That power… Is the power to rule everything…"
"You…" Takumi said, feeling unease around Kyosuke's aura.
"Kyosuke…" Mari said, shocked on Kyosuke's behavior. He's usually never like this.
"Inui-san is the current user of Delta. I gave it to him because he suppressed the effects," Saya explained. "Kyosuke, you should really take the medicine I made."
"I don't need your damn medicine! That belt is mine. Mine… And that bastard Arai! He took the belt without asking!" Kyosuke snapped.
"What did everyone else do?" Mari asked Rina.
"Well… We went to search for Arai and that's when an Orphnoch came and took the belt from Arai. Asami soon disappeared after," Rina explained. "I'm surprised that you found her dead."
"It's weird… When Takumi first transformed into Delta, and Yuka and I defeated the Orphnoch, Asami's dead body was there. Could she have used the Kaixa gear as well?" Michael asked.
"Asami didn't transform into Kaixa!" Saya exclaimed, until she calmed down. "I'm sure… It's gotta be some coincidence."
"But that Orphnoch that took the Delta belt, looked familiar for some reason," Rina said, before her phone rang, and she answered it. "Hello? Arai-kun?"
Hearing his name, Kyosuke took the phone from Rina's hands.
"Where are you, Arai?! Return my belt!" Kyosuke demanded. Takumi then got on his motorcycle and put on his helmet.
"Takumi?" Mari said, as he and Michael were running towards Takumi.
"Your friends are aguring over a belt. I don't know them well," Takumi said, putting on his biker gloves and helmet.
"He has a point," Michael agreed. "This is a matter for Ryusei School students. They have a bond no one can understand."
"Did you say Ryusei School?" Takumi asked.
"Yeah, why?" Michael asked.
"It's nothing," Takumi responded, before riding off. Michael got on Auto Vajin, and put on his biker gloves and helmet.
"I'm going back too. I want to know why that Orphnoch wanted you," Michael said, before speeding off.
Police Station
Elderly police detective Jyoji Soeno was sleeping on the job. He was awaken when his young and inexperienced partner, Sawamura barged in.
"Soeno-san, big news!" Sawamura exclaimed, shaking Soeno. "Wake up please, Soeno-san!"
"What? What's going on?" Soeno asked, groggy.
"Pull yourself together, Soeno-san! You were completely asleep!" Sawamura exclaimed, which made Soeno almost choke on his water.
"Can't help myself! There's no work to do here anyway," Soeno complained. "With that mysterious massacre at the Sakurabayashi Girls' High School…after we finally got the higher ups to recognize the case, they created some kind of special investigation department. I'm the only one left out of the loop!"
"This is no time to be lying down on the job!" Sawamura reminded Soeno, showing him a newspaper. "There's been an incident."
"Huh? Which?" Soeno asked, putting on his glasses to read the newspaper. "The gas explosion at Izumidai Building? What about it?"
"Don't you remember?" Sawamura asked. "A week before, a mysterious fire broke out in the Niihama underground shopping center. And eight years earlier there was a building fire where one little girl survived."
"So what?" Soeno asked, taking a breath mint.
"I think I've found the culprit," Sawamura said.
Police Station: Video Room
"Please look at this," Sawamura said, showing Soeno security footage of a man with slicked-back, wearing a suit, walking around. "This is footage from security cameras. Every video shows this man at all of the incident locations."
"I see. This is no trivial matter," Soeno said, taking another breath mint.
Kikuchi Cleaners
Michael opened the back door and entered the cleaners.
"I'm back!" Michael announced, but no one was home. "Keitaro? Right, he went to go see Osada-san."
Michael then sat down on the couch and sighed.
"Why couldn't I see that Orphnoch?" Michael asked himself, before seeing something beneath the table. "A cleaning whip?"
Michael picked it up and analyzed it. Michael then saw two more, and picked them up to analyze. The second one was like the first one, ordinary. But the third one had a writing on it.
"Don't get in the way, Faiz. Sonada Mari is mine," Michael read. "An Orphnoch obsessed with Mari? They don't have that much of an obsession with her. Unless…"
Michael then tried to put the pieces together for this mysterious Orphnoch.
"Cleaning whips… An obsession with Mari… It can't be," Michael said, realizing who could it be. "It's not possible."
Hospital
Yuka entered Michiko's hospital room, with Chinese food on a tray.
"I brought you some Chinese food. You've always been a fan," Yuka said, which made Michiko turned to Yuka. But, instead of taking the food, Michiko slaps the tray from Yuka's hands.
"Don't think an act of kindness will help me forgive you. My classmates are dead because of you. You've probably killed Mom and Dad by now, haven't you?" Michiko assumed.
"No! Shoichi was killed by another one liked me. But I never wanted to killed my birth mom!" Yuka exclaimed.
"You're a monster! You had me in a coma for 7 months and ruined my life!" Michiko snapped. "It's a good thing that I'm alive! I wanna kick your ass right now!"
"You're not alive anymore," A voice said, which had Yuka and Michiko turned to Kiba, entering the room. "You've revived into an Orphnoch, just like me and Osada-san."
"Michiko… This is Kiba Yuji. An Orphnoch who wants to live as a human, like me," Yuka introduced Michiko to Kiba.
"Like I care. Are you saying I'm a ghost! Last time I checked, I don't walked through walls," Michiko denied.
"You are not a ghost. You are both dead and alive," Kiba explained to Michiko.
"But I'm fine. I don't feel any different," Michiko said.
"Michiko… I saw you flatline. You died in front of my eyes," Yuka said.
"Don't be stupid! The doctor probably made a miscalculation," Michiko snapped.
Kill them! Kill the humans!
"If you two are playing games for saying to kill some people… I'm not interested," Michiko said.
"The voice in our head… Michiko has it. She really has become an Orphnoch," Kiba said.
"Michiko…" Yuka said.
"Get out! I don't want to hear your Orphnoch crap!" Michiko snapped. Kiba and Yuka did as they were told, although neither of them wanted her to lose to the darkness.
Streets
On the streets, Keitaro and Kaido had their hair bleached blonde.
"We've definitely changed," Kaido said.
"Yeah. Let's see if your experiment, you considered perfect, will work," Keitaro said, as he and Kaido put on sunglasses and leather jackets. Both of them then start walking and hopping at the same time.
Clover Bar
Kitazaki was throwing darts, or was trying to. With the ability to turn anything to ash with a single touch, Kitazaki couldn't get a dart on the dartboard, due to the dart turning to ash. Kitazaki then walks to Takuma and grabs his head, which was about to turn to ash. Luckily, Takuma was able to break free of his grasp.
"What are you doing, Kitazaki-san?!" Takuma asked.
"Don't be like that, Takuma-kun," Kitazaki said. "Don't you feel sorry for me? I can't even play darts."
"Well, that's... indeed very unfortunate," Takuma stuttered as he sat back down on his seat.
"That reminds me... When do we start?" Saeko asked. "That game to see who would defeat Kiba Yuji and his allies?"
"Ah! That's right! I forgot about that," Kitazaki said in realization. "The first person to defeat Kiba Yuji or his two allies get to punish everyone else. Ahh... I completely forgot."
"Saeko-san! Stop saying unnecessary things!" Takuma begged, which was not part of his usual demeanor. This Takuma seemed...weak.
"But...Saeko-san says you have an new ally you wanted to recruit. Even though you haven't met her... Would she be any use of the game?" Kitazaki asked Saeko.
"She's a young one. She's recently awaken into an Orphnoch. She's one that even Murakami-kun doesn't know of. That child has a strong hatred than you can ever imagine.," Saeko explained of her new suggestion to the Lucky Clover, as she took out her Smart Pad, and pulled up a picture of the new Orphnoch she was talking about. "She's got a cute face like her older step-sister."
The Orphnoch that Sakeo was talking about was Michiko.
Hospital
Michiko was looking out the window, to see how much her surroundings had changed.
A doctor walked into the room with a clipboard in his hand.
"Osada Michiko," The doctor read, and Michiko turned to the doctor. "If you wouldn't mind, we want to go through a few tests on your body."
"I do mind. I just want to be discharged and get the hell out of here," Michiko said.
"I understand your frustration. Now just come with me..." The doctor said, before Michiko grabbed his arm, twisted it, and threw him to the wall. Michiko looked at her hands. She knew she never studied martial arts before, and couldn't have twisted a man's arm so painfully. But when she did it, she was like a master at it. Michiko then ran of her hospital room, and, soon, out of the hospital.
Beauty Salon
Kana Osada, the birth mother of Yuka, and step-sister of Michiko, was running the beauty salon with her few employees. There were five in total. The two that were missing were Yuka and Mari.
"Yuka and Mari have sure been absent," Kana sighed. "Just what are those two doing that they can't be at the salon?"
Kana's thoughts came to a halt when she saw Michiko running from the glass window.
(Cue Boiling Over by VideoHelper; 0:00-0:22, 1:00-1:28)
"Michiko?" Kana said, thinking that was her daughter. Kana ran out of the salon and saw Michiko running. "Michiko!"
Kana ran after Michiko, due to her surprised that she left the hospital without a doctor calling her. What Kana didn't know, was that the Shark Orphnoch was watching and following her.
Tokorozawa Civic Cultural Centre Muse
Kana soon soon lost Michiko at the Tokorozawa Civic Cultural Centre Muse.
"Michiko! Michiko! Michiko!" Kana cried, before a saw-like sword, with a hammer handle came flying towards her.
"Watch out!" Michael cried grabbing Kana, and they both ducked from the weapon. Michael saw that there was no assailant. "Are you alright, Kana-san?"
(End Track)
"I'm fine. I saw Michiko," Kana said to Michael.
"Michiko?" Michael asked.
"Yuka probably told you. Michiko is my step-daughter who was in a coma," Kana explained to Michiko.
"Go back in the salon. It's not safe out here. I can't explain why… You just need to trust me," Michael said to Kana, who hesitates at first, due to her thinking her step-daughter might be in danger, but does as she was told. Michael then took out the Faiz phone and dialed Takumi's number for the Delta phone. "Takumi… There's an Orphnoch about attack someone."
Ajinomoto Stadium
Michiko ran until she couldn't run anymore. She stopped at one of the entrances to Ajinomoto Stadium.
"What is going on? How did I… just do that?" Michiko asked herself.
"All will be explained if you come with me peacefully," A voice said, and Michiko turned to see the man wearing a suit, from the security footage that the Soeno and Sawamura were looking at. The man had a Smart Brain pin on his handkerchief pocket, establishing him as a Smart Brain employee. "I'll tell you all the answers you want to know."
"I'm not coming with you, you creep!" Michiko snapped. "Who are you anyway?!"
"If you refuse…" The Smart Employee said, taking off his glasses, before his face faded gray. "I'll have to take your life."
The Smart Brain Employee transformed into the Barnacle Orphnoch, who looked like an American Football Player. The Barnacle walked towards Michiko, who stood back and stared to run. But, the Barnacle jumped in front of Michiko and punched her in the face, then in the stomach, and finally, in the chest, which sent her flying towards the pavement.
"This is your last chance. Come with me, or I'll take your life," The Barnacle said, as his human form appeared in his shadow. Then Yuka, already transformed into the Crane Orphnoch, flew in and grabbed the Barnacle by the arm, and threw him to another level of the entrance stadium.
"Yuka! That form…!" Michiko cried, as she recognizes the form that almost killed her. Yuka turned to Michiko, while reverting back to her human form. Both of them don't say anything, and have fear on their faces of each other. Yuka, with the Kaixa belt on her waist, side-flips open the Kaixa Phone.

Standing By!
Henshin!
Complete!
Yuka transformed into Kaixa, and ran up the stairs of the stadium to fight the Barnacle Orphnoch.
(Cue Satan's Babysitter by VideoHelper; 0:00-0:23, 0:56-1:15)
Michiko's eyes widen when she saw Yuka's transformation.
"Yuka," Michiko said in shock.
In the upper level of the stadium entrance, the Barnacle Orphnoch noticed Yuka walking to the fight, having them come face-to-face with each other. Then, another Orphnoch, with the motif of a Gorilla, a heavyweight, jumped behind Yuka and landed on his feet next to the Barnacle, entered the battle. Yuka then takes out the Kaixa Blaygun, and inserts the Mission Memory into the Blaygun.
Ready!
The Blaygun generated its blade, from the bottom of the gun grip. Yuka then starts to fight the two Orphnochs by herself.
Michiko was overseeing the fight, while she was walking up the stairs to the upper level of the stadium entrance.
"Yuka," Michiko softly said.
Yuka slashed to two Orphnochs with her blaygun. The Gorilla rolled on the ground, and then jumped for an attack. But it was intercepted when Michael appeared, as Faiz, and kicked the Gorilla to the ground. Yuka then slashed the Barnacle through the chest, sending the latter flying next to the Gorilla. The two were then shot by Takumi, already transformed into Delta.
(End Track)
Takumi soon ran to the battle from his shooting position.
(Insert The people with no name by m.c.A・T; 0:00-0:13, 0:56-1:21)
The battle then resumed, with Michael, with the Faiz Edge in his hand, and Takumi fighting the Barnacle Orphnoch, and Yuka fighting the Gorilla Orphnoch. During the battle, the Gorilla Orphnoch was tying get the Delta belt off of Takumi's waist.
"Hey, let go!" Takumi exclaimed elbowing the Gorilla in the back, and then kicking him, which hurt his elbow and leg due to the Gorilla's hard endurance, having Takumi switched on fighting the Gorilla Orphnoch. During the fight with the Barnacle Orphnoch, Michael was about to blow a punch, but stopped, when he thought about his late sister, Jasmine.
(End Insert Song)
It was a memory of her and him with the Barnacle Orphnoch in the memory.
"Hey. Do you remember the name Jasmine Taylor?" Michael asked.
"How am I supposed to know?!" The Barnacle responded.
"I see. Tell me... Will this make you remember?" Michael asked, slashing the Barnacle in chest. Then proceeds to attack him from, what appears to be, his hatred.
"What?" Yuka asked, when she noticed this. Michael slashed the Barnacle downwards, causing the Barnacle to fall. Michael then prepared to finish him off. Until, a hand stops him. Michael turned and it was Takumi.
"Stop it. Don't turn into the other guys," Takumi told Michael.
"The other guys?" Michael asked. Michael distracted gave the chance for the Barnacle Orphnoch to summon a sphere, which resembles a cluster of barnacles, and threw it at them. Michael and Takumi managed to dodge it, but the sphere was heading straight for Michiko, who was watching the battle. Yuka quickly jumped in the way, but the sphere hits Yuka in Fullmetal Lung Armor, causing the Kaixa Belt to fly off of Yuka's waist, causing the suit to disappear in yellow Photon Blood. The Barnacle Orphnoch starts to walk to the two step-sisters.
Until, a saw-like sword with a hammer-like handle, flew towards the Barnacle Orphnoch, who got hit by the sword. Then, the Shark Orphnoch, with his other saw-like sword on the left hand, then jumped in front of the Barnacle and grabbed his right-hand saw-like sword and slashed at him. The Shark turned to see the Gorilla Orphnoch and super-sped his way to punch the Gorilla who got up after the punch. The Gorilla used his brute strength to fight off the Shark, who dodges his brute strength. The Gorilla then tried to use his length strength as well, but no effect. However, after a few slashes to the chest, the Platypus was stabbed by the Shark, who lifted his sword from his chest, and did an upwards slash at the Gorilla's chest sending him flying off the railing. The Barnacle Orphnoch threw his explosive sphere at the Shark, who managed to cut it in half. This had the Barnacle Orphnoch to retreat.
"Wait!" Takumi called out, following the Barnacle. The Shark Orphnoch then turned to the two step-sisters. But, before the Orphnoch could do anything, he was slashed in the back by Michael. However, the Shark was able to withstand the pain.
"Osada-san! Get Michiko out of here!" Michael told Yuka.
"But…" Yuka said.
"Go!" Michael cried, and Yuka nodded, grabbed Michiko wrist, and left the battle, grabbing the Kaixa gear with her. Michael was now face to face with the Shark Orphnoch. "You… You're Kusaka Masato, aren't you?!"
The Shark Orphnoch didn't respond.
"You tried to abduct Mari…and then you tried to kill Kana-san!" Michael said to the Shark, who grabbed his saw-like sword and started to fight Michael.
(Cue Heart Attack by VideoHelper; 0:00-0:28, 0:52-1:14)
The Shark's power was nothing that Michael had ever fought before, as Faiz. The Shark Orphnoch was probably more powerful than the three Lucky Clover members he fought, and Sawada. After on upwards slash to Faiz's Fullmetal Lung armor, the Shark walks to Michael, wanting more from the fight. However, the Shark's hand stated to have ash falling out.
"Time's up?" The Shark said to himself, before jumping above Michael, and at the end of the Stadium entrance, and walked away to the driveway.
(End Track)
"Wait," Michael said, before another Orphnoch hit Michael in his Fullmetal Lung armor, with a giant fist. Michael fell in the ground and saw who it was. It was the Ox Orphnoch. "What?! How?! I was sure that I beat you!"
The Ox growled and started to fight Michael with his wrecking ball-fists. The Ox proved to be more powerful than last time, showing this by giving Michael a strong punch in the face.
Tokorozawa Civic Cultural Centre Muse
Yuka and Michiko ran from the fight, and stopped to catch their breath.
"I don't see them following us," Yuka told Michiko.
"Hey… What was that form you transformed to? Why are those guys after me?" Michiko asked.
"I think… They know you're an Orphnoch," Yuka said to Michiko.
"Geez! I'm not those Orphnoch guys! I'm certainly not like you!" Michiko said, getting up and trying to walk away, annoyed.
"Michiko!" Yuka exclaimed, trying to stop Michiko from leaving, by grabbing her arm. "Wait."
"Let go!" Michiko snapped, trying to be released from Yuka's grip. "I said let me go you freak!"
Michiko hits Yuka with strength, that Michiko hadn't had before. Yuka fell to the ground, and saw her sister's face fade dark grey.
"Michiko," Yuka softly said, before Michiko screamed, transforming into the Crow Orphnoch. "No..."
Michiko quickly runs to Yuka and claws her in the face, and screams.
"Stop, Michiko!" Yuka cried. "I know what you're feeling. But, you can fight this."
"Shut up!" Michiko screamed hitting Yuka once more, throwing her to the outside stairs of the concert hall complex. Yuka looked at the Kaixa gear on her hands. She knew what she must do, but she didn't want to. "Fight... Fight!"
Yuka then remembered Hanagata's words when she and Michael were in the underground Ryusei School.
"Fight! If you keep winning the battle and survive...you will find the answer."
"I have to fight to find the answer on the Orphnochs. But, at the same time, Michiko..." Yuka thought, before putting the Kaixa belt on her waist, and side-flipping the Kaixa phone.

Standing By!
Henshin!
Complete!
Yuka transformed to Kaixa, and was face-to-face with Michiko. This was now not a battle between an Orphnoch. Not even an Orphnoch vs. and Orphnoch. This was Sister vs. Sister.
Well, that was a lot to put in. Expect a lot from the next 17 episodes. Also, I've been rewriting the previous episodes, so I can add some scenes or dialogue. As you noticed, in my rewrites, that the police are in this version. At first, I didn't want to, but I had to figure out someway to make them important to the story. Don't worry, I'll try to work them in to this version.
Thank you for reading, everyone. If you want, you can leave a review to share your thoughts. I will see all of you guys, girls, and all in between, next time. Bye.
