Kanetsu Expressway Iruma River Bridge
"Osada-san!" Michael exclaimed, as Kusaka then side-flipped open the Kaixa Phone, pressed the enter button, and side-flipped closed it.
Exceed Charge!
A low yellow light traveled through the yellow Photon Streams and made contact with the Kaixa Blaygun. Kusaka then pulls the hammer and targets the blaygun at Yuka.
"Hey stop!" Michael cried, running towards Kusaka, which resulted in Kusaka to miss Yuka. Michael grabs Kusaka's wrist, which makes him drop his blaygun.
"Bastard!" Kusaka screamed.
"Stop it!" Michael cried.
"Don't interfere!" Kusaka demanded, as Yuka reverted back to her human state. "Let me go, you idiot!"
"Michael…" Yuka said.
"Move!" Kusaka demanded, as Yuka was trying to stand.
"What are you trying to do?! Are you seriously trying to kill Osada-san?!" Michael asked, before Yuka lose consciousness, but was caught by Saeko, before Yuka could hit the ground.
"It's go nothing to do with you! You don't know what crimes she's committed behind your back! Move!" Kusaka shouted, throwing Michael from his body, before punching him, when he then saw that Yuka had disappear, forcing Kusaka to undo his transformation. "You Orphnoch… I shall never forgive you!"

Episode 38: Yuka, Revival
Saeko was carrying Yuka, thought the human crutch technique. But when Yuka woke up, she pushed Saeko.
"Hey. Why do you keep on saving me?!" Yuka asked.
"Well, I was going to kill you myself… However, as you are right now…I pity you," Saeko said. "Kusaka is an idiot."
"I'm pretty sure that's well established," Yuka commented.
"You were right. We have so much in common. Both were outcasts…had no one who loved us…and we're both caught in a lie. The only difference between the two of us…is that you can't tell who is a friend or foe," Saeko compared to Yuka.
"Is that what this is about? Jealousy?" Yuka asked.
"No. Maybe I am a little jealous that you had friends…and I got stuck with four stupid boys. However, I'm starting to think that you seeing through my past is a blessing in disguise. I'll help you train your growing Orphnoch power. I'll grant you a better life. You just have to accept," Saeko offered.
"It's my life. I can do what I want with it," Yuka declined. "And for once… Stop being distant and open up about yourself. I wouldn't hurt."
Yuka then stood up from the ground and walked away.
Kikuchi Cleaners
"What we're you doing, Kusaka-kun?!" Mari questioned, after hearing from Michael.
"That's right! We heard from Michael. He said you attacked Yuka-san, Kusaka-san. You really are the worst!" Keitaro said, as Kusaka looked to be ignoring them, and sat down on the couch. "Yuka-san and Takkun are not just Orphnochs! The same can go with Kiba-san, Kaido-kun, and Kimura-san! You really are arrogant!"
"Say something, Kusaka-kun!" Mari demanded.
"Mari… forget about Osada and Inui. If you believe in both of them, you'll only get hurt. Just like with Sawada," Kusaka said to Mari.
"That's not true! Osada-san has always helped Michael and us time and time again! This time we have to help her. Even though they're Orphnoch, I trust them more than you, Kusaka-kun!" Mari told Kusaka, who, after hearing this, stood from the couch and slapped her face.
"Kusaka-san!" Keitaro exclaimed. Mari touched her face, and ran off in tears, which resulted in her in the park. She then saw a familiar face on the bench. "Takumi?"
Mari quickly ran to the bench.
"Takumi!" Mari exclaimed.
"Mari…" Takumi said, turning to her, before disappearing, revealing it to be an hallucination.
"Why is it only Takumi?" Mari asked, before remembering what Michael said.
"Someone qualified for Faiz."
It sort of made sense for Mari. Takumi was supposed to be the original user for Faiz. Mari sat down in the bench and started to call Yuka.
"Osada-san…" Mari said.
"Stop it!" Kusaka said, snatching Mari's phone from her hands.
"Why? Why, Kusaka-kun? Why do you hate Osada-san and Takumi so much?!" Mari asked. "It's because their both Orphnoch, isn't it? Or is it that Osada-san took Kaixa from you?"
"No! That's not it. It's not just that," Kusaka resented. "Sorry about that."
Kusaka tried to touch her face, but Mari slapped his hand away from her.
"Mari…you just don't understand why I hate those two," Kusaka said.
"Of course I don't!" Mari exclaimed.
"Orphnochs… The Orphnoch have no place in this world. They're monsters inside out," Kusaka said to Mari.
"I see… I see how this is!" Mari exclaimed (Cue Murder Company by VideoHelper; 0:00-0:24, 0:48-1:11) before running back to the cleaners. When she got back to the cleaners, she started to wreck the place, smashing tea cups. Luckily, Keitaro wasn't here to see this.
"Mari! Stop it! What are you doing?!" Kusaka asked, as Mari was having a nervous breakdown. Mari then started to hallucinate Orphnochs from the mirrors. More specifically, from left to right, the Snail, Worm, Bee, Ostrich, and Bear Orphnochs. "Mari! Stop! Mari!"
Mari ran up the stairs to her room, with Kusaka following her.
"Mari!" Kusaka cried, as Mari entered her room and started to make a mess. "Mari!"
Mari then smashed a mirror with the Smart Brain case that contained the Kaixa gear.
"Fine then! If all Orphnochs are your enemy…then I'm your enemy!" Mari shouted, before breaking another mirror.
(End Track)
As Kusaka tried to restrain her again, Mari's face faded gray and she transformed into the Falcon Orphnoch, and flew through the window, having Mari to transform into her Flying Form.
Meanwhile
"Hey, Kikuchi-san… How are you holding up without Osada-san?" Saya asked Keitaro, who was delivering laundry along with her and Michael.
"Not good. I don't want to sound like a creep…" Keitaro said.
"You're not," Michael reassured him, cutting him off at the same time. "It's natural to worry about your first crush. I had one. It didn't go so well. I was still alone and I thought she betrayed me…because she kicked me out of her group."
Keitaro and Saya had sympathetic looks on their faces for Michael.
"But I think it was for the best. I ran away from the school I used to attend, with her, from America. That school started to go crazy and I just couldn't handle it. You guys are great friends. And we'll find your respective crushes," Michael reassured the two, before leaning towards Saya. "Saya."
"Are you saying I have a crush on Inui-san?!" Saya asked.
"There's nothing wrong with that. I was just teasing you," Michael said, smiling.
"Well, since we're both nekojita… Prehaps you have a reasonable point," Saya said to Michael, before Keitaro pulled over when he saw the Falcon Orphnoch diving towards them. "That's…"
"Mari!" Michael exclaimed, finishing Saya's sentence.
"Are you saying that's Mari-chan as an Orphnoch?!" Keitaro asked.
"Yes. But something's not right with her," Saya observed.
"I'll take care of this," Michael said.
"But…" Saya said.
"Im not going to hurt her. Just going to tire her out," Michael told Saya, before getting out of the laundry van, with the Faiz gear on his waist, and flipping out the Faiz Phone.

Standing By!
Henshin!
Complete!
Michael managed to kick Mari, which sent her falling under the Funato Riverside Bridge. As Michael threw a punch, it was blocked by Mari, before she clawed him in the face.
"Hey! Mari! Wake up!" Michael exclaimed, trying to restrain her. "This isn't you! Remember who you are! You're Sonoda Mari!"
Mari breaks from from Michael's grip, and grabs his throat.
"Please. Open your eyes, Mari! I'm… your friend!" Michael exclaimed, which had Mari to stop, and scream, before she got hit by the shoulder, which had her to hit her head, as she reverted into her human state, and lose consciousness. Michael turned to see Rina, as the Stingray Orphnoch, to be the one who hit Mari.
"Rina! Why did you do that?!" Michael asked, as Rina reverted to her human state.
"Sorry. I thought she was going to attack you again!" Rina apologized. "I'm very sorry. I only came to tell that I got Mihara-kun to come. However, I think I need you and Saya to convince him."
Clover Bar
"Kusaka… Just what do you think you're doing?" Murakami asked.
"Isn't simple? Getting rid of a traitorous Orphnoch," Kusaka smirked.
"But you attacked Osada Yuka… when you were chosen to fight Inui Takumi," Murakami said.
"She got in the way. If it wasn't for Faiz… I would've finished her off," Kusaka said, before he turned to see Sawada. "Sawada."
"Sawada. What do you want?" Murakami asked.
"To fight. Against you," Sawada responded to Kusaka. "The Orphnoch power is consuming you."
"You're wrong. I'm in control of the Orphnoch power," Kusaka denied, which Sawada smile a bit. "What's so funny?"
"Nothing. Most Orphnochs say that they're under control when they're not. You're in that category," Sawada pointed out.
"You want to test that?" Kusaka challenged Sawada.
"In that case… Go right ahead and test your strength," Murakami said to Kusaka.
Beauty Salon
The door opened and rang signaling a customer.
"Welcome!" Kana greeted, but her smile faded when she saw her step-daughter. "Michiko?"
"Mom… Surprise," Michiko said.
Warehouse
Mari woke up, and as she rose, she felt pain in her arm.
"Are you alright, Mari?" Michael asked.
"Yes. What happened?" Mari asked.
"You don't remember?" Michael asked.
"All I remember is Kusaka-kun hitting me and I lost control of myself," Mari said, before realizing that she let her Orphnoch power take control of her. "Did I hurt anyone?"
"No," Michael confirmed. "But you did managed to throw some good punches. I'm alright."
"It's good that you're alright, Mari-chan," Keitaro said.
"Keitaro?" Mari said in confusion, before seeing Saya, Rina, and a familiar young man, who had brown hair, and who was wearing blue. "Saya. Rina. Mihara-kun? What's this about?"
"I requested Mihara Syuji to Rina. He was originally supposed to be the main user for Delta after getting the Delta belt from the Lucky Clover," Michael explained, before turning to Rina. "How did you convince him to come?"
"Sadly, by force," Rina sighed.
"You know… Is it okay if I head home soon?" Mihara asked. "I've got work soon."
"Why are saying that at a time like this? Aren't you about Mari or any of your classmates? Mari lost control. She could've killed someone," Michael said to Mihara.
"But even if I'm here it won't change anything. Rina told me that I was supposed to be the main user for Delta… but it's impossible to use that belt. I saw what it did to Arai-kun, Kawachi-kun, and Kyosuke. I also don't want to deal with this stuff," Mihara said.
""Don't want to deal with this…?" What are you saying?" Saya asked.
"I want to forget about the Ryusei School. I just want to live a normal life," Mihara responded.
"Hey! How can you such a selfish jerk!" Saya asked, grabbing Mihara by the collar.
"Calm down, Saya!" Michael exclaimed, releasing Saya's grip from Mihara, before turning to him. "I understand your feelings. But you can't escape fate. Only a few people have due to my existence. Saya and Kyosuke being one of them."
"What are you saying? Are you saying those two are supposed to be dead?!" Keitaro asked.
"Well…" Michael said, trying to come up with an excuse, but sighed. "Yes. Sawada was supposed to kill the two. But… Saya is still here having this conversation."
"You know… You don't have to hide anything," Saya said. "I'm grateful that I'm alive. Because… that was my and Sawada-kun's choice. Not fate's."
Beauty Salon
"Michiko… Why are you here?" Kana asked, before Michiko bowed apologetic.
(Cue The Great, Sad Sky by VideoHelper; 0:00-0:28, 0:50-1:20)
"I'm sorry! Mom! I used Yuka as a scapegoat because my dad hated her. I abused Yuka because my father told me to. Everything I did that hurt Yuka… that was all because of Shoichi!" Michiko exclaimed. "I've been improving myself as a better person. Yuka is going through something that is hard to explain. But, she's doing that to keep you safe from…"
"The Orphnoch?" Kana asked.
"Mom… How…?" Michiko asked.
"Yuka already told me about those monsters to give me a warning to call the police if I was attacked by one," Kana explained. "Or one of Smart Brain's soldiers."
"Soldiers?" Michiko asked, realizing she was referring to Faiz, Kaixa, and Delta. "Mom. Do you think… Yuka and I will every be sisters? I apologized to her, but I feel like that's not enough."
"Even though you are not sisters by blood, I'm glad you're improving yourself. I've been worried about since you've awoken from your coma," Kana said.
"You've been worried about me?" Michiko asked.
"Of course. I don't want to see my daughter hurt," Kana responded.
(End Track)
"So that's... your true feelings?" Michiko asked.
"My true feelings for taking care of children of my own has never died since I was pregnant," Kana said, reminiscing on a flashback with her and Yuka's birth father.
(Cue Hamstercide by VideoHelper; 0:00-1:13)
Flashback (1984)
"Satoshi-san! Sorry, I'm late!" The young Kana apologized, before noticing bruises on her face. "Did you get into a fight again. Seriously, Katsuhiko-kun is just jealousy. You shouldn't engage."
"I didn't He just came at me. Get on," Satoshi said, having Kana to get on Satoshi's motorcycle and going for a ride.
Their ride had ended the two up on a beach.
"This is nice," Kana said.
"Yeah. I can't believe this feeling is going to last starting three months from now," Satoshi said, referring to his and Kana's planned wedding. He had proposed to her two months ago, and the two have never been more happier. Kana touches her stomach, and had regret that she didn't tell Satoshi something sooner.
"Satoshi-san... I have to tell you something," Kana said.
"What is it?" Satoshi asked.
"A couple of weeks ago... I took a test," Kana said.
"What test?" Satoshi asked, before Kana took Satoshi's hands and put them on her stomach. Satoshi now realized what Kana was talking about. "That test?"
"Yeah," Kana replied with a smile.
"Really?!" Satoshi exclaimed.
"Yeah!" Kana exclaimed, as she and Satoshi hugged each other, happy that Kana was pregnant.
End of Flashback
"But I'm very sad that Satoshi-san, Yuka's birth father, didn't get to see what Yuka had grew up to be. If he hadn't died, this would've never happened," Kana said.
(End Track)
"It's not your fault. It's me and my father's fault," Michiko blamed herself.
"It's also your step-sister's fault," A masculine voice added. Michiko and Kana turned to see the Smart Brain president, Murakami Kyouji, the Rose Orphnoch.
"Who are you?" Michiko asked.
"I've read about him. That's Murakami Kyouji, president of Smart Brain," Kana explained for Michiko, who realized where she heard the name of Smart Brain before.
"Smart Brain foresees all the Orphnoch activities."
"Mom. We need to run," Michiko told her step-mother.
"Eh? Why?" Kana asked.
"Sawada really told you a lot of our secrets. What would your mother think if I would have told you who you really are?" Murakami asked.
"Leave us alone!" Michiko exclaimed, grabbing Kana's wrist, pushing Murakami as they ran out of the beauty salon. Murakami exits the salon, before he transformed into the Rose Orphnoch. Kana screamed at an unpleasant creature. Before Murakami could attack, Kiba's car had gotten right in front of Michiko and Kana.
"Get in!" Kiba exclaimed, and Michiko and Kana entered Kiba's car, before Kiba pressed on the gas pedal and sped off. Murakami was more than disappointed, as he reverted back to his human form.
"President!" A voice exclaimed, and Murakami turned to see his subordinate, who had black clothes, with a black rose on his handkerchief pocket square, like the Rhinocerosbeetle Orphnoch's human form. "What now?"
"After them. I will assist you, along with Saeko-san. If either Orphnochs resist, you may kill them," Murakami ordered his subordinate.
Outside of Kiba's Apartment
"Please stay there. I have a friend who will watch out for you. Forgive his behavior though," Kiba said to Kana.
"I will. Please protect my daughter. Both of them," Kana begged.
"Don't worry. We'll find both of them," Kiba said with a smile, before driving off. During the drive, Kiba quickly stops when he saw Takumi wandering.
"Who's that?" Michiko asked.
"Inui-kun?" Kiba said, before stepping out of his car, which had Takumi to notice.
"You. Why are you here?" Takumi asked.
"I was wondering the same thing for you. Smart Brain is after your life. You can't just wander around when a chance of death comes. Aren't you afraid of dying?!" Kiba asked.
"I... don't know," Takumi responded.
"Don't lock people out of your life. You have to communicate with people. You have to let them in to understand you. That is... how you resolve things," Kiba said.
"Kiba-san..." Yuka softly said, which had Kiba and Takumi to turn to Yuka.
"Osada-san?" Kiba said, which had Michiko get out of her car.
"Yuka, get in the car," Michiko said, grabbing Yuka and forcing her to the car, before doing the same to Takumi.
"Hey, let go!" Takumi exclaimed, but to no avail.
"Now... Let's go," Michiko said, before Kiba's phone rang and Kiba answered it.
"Hello? Michael?" Kiba said on the phone.
Urayama Dam
Kusaka, with the Kaixa gear on his waist, and Sawada had met with each other for their fight.
"Hey. I see you came. I'm glad. As to be expected from a former classmate," Kusaka said, (Cue Potential Catastrophe by VideoHelper; 0:00-0:47, 0:52-1:21) before walking to Sawada. "I actually have a request for you. Would you surrender to the Orphnoch power? It's something that our father and the Ryusei School students have."
"Don't wanna. I've already thrown away the past. I can't live the way I used to. The last thing I wanted is to be tied to you," Sawada said, which had Kusaka smirked.
"I thought you might say that. Well then..." Kusaka said, before side-opening the Kaixa Phone, with a grin emerging from his face. "...I'm going to have to kill you."
"Impossible. There's no way you can beat me," Sawada said. "After all, you're.. dying."
"Dying? What are you talking about?" Kusaka asked.
"As your Orphnoch power grows and grows... you'll begin to lose yourself. I've been able to resist the Orphnoch power. But, you're a different case. Once the Orphnoch power takes over... you won't be able to recognize anyone. Not even Mari," Sawada explained. That last part didn't make Kusaka happy, not one bit.
(End Track)
So, Kusaka decided to transform.
Henshin!
Complete!
Kusaka transformed into Kaixa, while Sawada transformed into the Spider Orphnoch. As the fight began, both of Kusaka's and Sawada's strength, were equally matched. Kusaka missed Sawada, as he managed to kick a concreate column. As Kusaka kneed Sawada, Sawada jumped onto the walls on crawled down like a spider.
Warehouse
The group was silent for a while, due to not thinking of another topic to talk about.
"Why... Why did this happen to only us? We didn't do anything to deserve this," Rina asked herself. Saya then hits her hand on the ground in a response to the situation, that the Ryusei School students were in, in anger.
"I... I don't want this to be true anymore!" Mihara said. "I have to go home..."
Mihara then proceeds to leave, before Michael stops him and forces him onto a wall.
"Michael!" Keitaro exclaimed.
"What the hell is the matter with you?! You think you can run away?! Everyone in this warehouse are caught up in the problem right now! Hanagata-san, your foster father, told me this... Fight and survive. So I'm telling his words of wisdom for you. All of us have to keep fighting so we can survive! Inukai Syoji... Kamijyo Haruko... Nishida Kiyotaka... Kawachi Yuki... Masuda... Those are your classmates and teacher who died! And you're just going to walk away like they never existed?!" Michael shouted at Mihara, who pushed Michael away, and started to walk to his motorcycle.
"Wait, Mihara-kun!" Mari exclaimed, trying to stop Mihara.
"Stop it, already!" Mihara said, pushing Mari away from him.
"Calm down, Mihara-kun!" Rina cried.
"Just leave me alone!" Mihara shouted, pushing Rina away even harder than Mari, to the point she was on the ground. Mihara then got on his motorcycle and sped off. At the same time, Kiba's car had pulled up, and it's passengers exited the vehicle.
"Osada-san?" Michael said.
"Michael," Yuka softly said.
"Yuka-san," Keitaro softly said.
"Thank goodness, you're alright," Michael said, before Yuka took a step back. "What's wrong."
"Everyone knows my true form. I can't trust myself anymore," Yuka said.
"That isn't like you," Michael observed. "You didn't hurt Keitaro."
"Physically, I didn't hurt him. But I hurt him, emotionally," Yuka corrected Michael, before the two noticed Takumi leaving. "Inui-san... Where are you going?"
"Dunno," Takumi responded.
"Coward!" Michael called out, which made Takumi stopped. "The truth is now revealed to everyone. Stop running away from all of this. Open up!"
Takumi then remember what Kiba said before.
"Don't lock people out of your life. You have to communicate with people. You have to let them in to understand you. That is... how you resolve things."
"Are you human or Orphnoch? Are you an ally or enemy? Are you Delta or the Wolf Orphnoch?!" Michael asked.
"Even I don't know," Takumi responded.
"I believe the answer was already clear from the beginning," Murakami said, who walked into the conversation, which had the group turned to the Smart Brain president.
"Murakami... Kyouji," Michael said.
"How did you know we were here?" Saya asked.
"Orphnochs have hearing better than a normal humans," Murakami explained. "It was easy tracking you down."
"Go away. We humans are having a conversation," Kiba demanded.
"I'm afraid I can't do that. You traitorous Orphnochs have caused trouble for Smart Brain and the other Orphnochs," Murakami pointed out.
"They attacked us... under your orders," Mari pointed out.
"True. But that was to eliminate the Orphnochs who don't obey in their goal... to create a world without weakness," Murakami said. "Almost everyone in this warehouse are Orphnochs. There is no other path for you."
"Yeah. Maybe. But I'd rather die than have to be one of your comrades!" Takumi exclaimed.
"I side with him," Michiko said.
"As do I," Kiba added.
"Is that so?" Murakami asked. "If you insist upon embarrassing me... everyone here will lose their lives."
Murakami's face faded white and he transformed into the Rose Orphnoch, charging at the three renegade Orphnochs. Michael got in the way, and put the Faiz gear on his waist. But Murakami slapped Michael into a box.
"Michael!" Rina exclaimed.
Takumi quickly transformed into the Wolf Orphnoch and started to fight Murakami, who had a higher combat power than Takumi, as it was shown in the fight.
"Inui-san!" Yuka exclaimed, before Murakami's subordinate appeared from behind.
"Are you the traitorous Orphnoch that Kageyama-san and Kusaka-san hate? I'll be taking your life... along with your step-sister's," Murakami's subordinate said, as his face faded gray and he transformed into the shogun-looking Stagbeetle Orphnoch, who started to walk, before breaking into a sprint. Yuka quickly transformed into the Crane Orphnoch, and started to fight the Stagbeetle Orphnoch.
"Osada-san!" Kiba exclaimed, before his cheek got sliced by another Orphnoch, who entered the battle. It was the Mantis Orphnoch, revived from the dead.
"Another revived Orphnoch?" Michael asked.
"Faiz..." The Mantis said, turning to Michael. "Come."
The Mantis charged at Michael, before Kiba transformed into the Horse Orphnoch, held him.
"I got this one. Help Osada-san and Inui-kun!" Kiba exclaimed, as his human form appeared in his shadow.
Michael then flipped open the Faiz Phone

Standing By!
Henshin!
Complete!
Michael transformed into Faiz, and started to fight the Stagbeetle Orphnoch, along with Yuka. However, neither of them were up par against this Orphnoch.
"Kageyama!" Murakami exclaimed, as he was fighting Takumi, and Saeko, transformed as the Lobster Orphnoch, entered the battle and slashed Yuka in the back with her rapier, having Yuka to fight Saeko.
"Yuka!" Michiko exclaimed, transforming into the Crow Orphnoch to help her sister. Saeko managed to overpower both of them, Michiko mostly.
Kusaka then pulled up on Side Basshar, took of his biker gear, and side-flipped open the Kaixa Phone.

Standing By!
Henshin!

Kusaka became Kaixa and charged at Kiba, later attacking him.
There were at least 4 fights going on at once. It got bigger when Kyosuke, with the Delta belt on his waist, oversaw the battlefield.
"Eh? Everyone is really going at it," Kyosuke observed, as the Delta Phone was near his ear. "Let me enter to."
Henshin.
Standing By!
Kyosuke put the Delta Phone into the holster-looking Delta Mover.
Complete!
Kyosuke transformed into Delta, ran at Michael, kicking him from behind.
"Can this fight get any bigger?" Michael asked, annoyed. Michael and Kyosuke's strength were equally matched, as they fought. "Open your eyes, Kyosuke! Can't you see that Delta is corrupting you?!"
"The power of Delta... has the power to rule everything," Kyosuke said, before punching Michael. The Stagbeetle Orphnoch did a sneak attack by slashing his back with his sasumata, which was his weapon. Kiba summons his Horse Sword at it hits Kusaka's Fullmetal Lung chest armor as the sword generates. Kiba then resumes his fight with the revived Mantis Orphnoch, which was taken outside of the warehouse.
Murakami easily overwhelms Takumi with strength greater than his. Takumi jumps away from Murakami and lands on all fours. Murakami then summoned roses from his rose-like brain, which caused damaged towards Takumi.
"Inui-san!" Saya exclaimed, before turning to Mari, Keitaro, and Rina. "Mari, Rina... don't transform. Kikuchi-san... stay here."
Saya then joins the fight against the Rose Orphnoch, as she transformed into the Phoenix Orphnoch. However, even against two Orphnochs, Murakami still managed to overpower Takumi and Saya. The fight between the Orphnochs had rose pedals flying around the warehouse.
As Yuka and Michiko were fighting Saeko, Kusaka slashes Yuka's back with the Blaygun's blade.
"A continuation from yesterday," Kusaka said, before attacking Yuka.
Michael rolled on the ground due to Kyosuke kicking him.
Ready!
Kyosuke had inserted the Delta mission memory in to Delta Mover's Gun Mode, transforming it into its Kick Mode.
Check
Exceed Charge!
As Kyosuke was ready to deliver his finishing attack, Michael inserted the Faiz mission memory into the Faiz Shot.
Ready!
The Faiz Shot quickly transformed into its Knuckle Mode, before Kyosuke fires a blue energy drill at Michael's chest. Kyosuke jumps to deliver his Lucifer's Hammer kick, before Michael opened the Faiz Phone, pressed the enter button, and closed the phone.
Exceed Charge!
Michael managed to disable the finishing kick with the Faiz Shot's Grand Impact punch, sending Kyosuke flying, with the Delta belt flying off his waist, forcing the Delta suit to dissolve in light blue Photon Blood, before Kyosuke managed to lose consciousness. Michael was then slashed by the Stagbeetle Orphnoch's sasumata.
Takumi and Saya crashed into barrels, having them to roll on the rose pedals, while reverting back to their human states. Murakami walked towards them to finish them off. Saya managed to use her remaining strength to get in Murakami's way.
"Foolish child. Haven't you learned your lesson?" Murakami asked, before slapping Saya, having her flying to the ground due to Murakami's strength. After Murakami was at Takumi, he grabbed his throat, raised him from the ground, and started to strangle him to death.
"Inui-san!" Saya cried.
"Takumi!" Mari cried.
"Takkun!" Keitaro cried.
"Inui-san!" Rina cried.
"Unfortunately… this is the end for you," Murakami said, as his human form appeared in his shadow, before throwing Takumi back on the ground of rose pedals.
As Michael was about to get slashed by the sasumata of the Stagbeetle Orphnoch. But Michael catches him weapon, before the Stagbeetle can attack, and throws him into Saeko. Michael then opens the Faiz Phone, pressed the enter button, and closed the Faiz Phone.
Exceed Charge!
Michael then executed his Grand Impact punch, once again, but the Stagbeetle Orphnoch moves out of the way, and it attack manages to hit Saeko in the face sending her flying outside of the warehouse.
"Thanks," Michiko thanked Michael.
"You might want to step out of the battle," Michael suggested.
"Okay," Michiko said, as she revered back to her human state.
Murakami shoots more rose pedals from his rose-like brain towards Takumi. Michael quickly grabs the Delta belt, throws it at Takumi, which managed to land on the ground beside him, before trying to deliver a punch towards Murakami. But Murakami, due to his high combat power, manages to overpower Michael.
"Takumi! Hurry up and transform! You're going to fight as Delta!" Michael told Takumi.
"Why? Why are you telling to fight even though I'm an Orphnoch?!" Takumi asked.
"It doesn't matter if you're human or Orphnoch! What matters is who you are on the inside! And Takumi is Takumi!" Michael exclaimed, while fighting Murakami. "Fight, Takumi! Fight!"
Takumi picks up the Delta belt and looks at it, and remember what Saya said to him a while he was wandering.
"You're not rotten to the core. If you were… I wouldn't have given the Delta belt to you,"
"I won't hesitate any more. While I've been hesitating… I've forgotten why I fought. I wasn't able to save anyone from the Ryusei School that night. But if people are dying… I have to do what I couldn't do for Mari, Sawada, or Saya," Takumi said, before he put the Delta belt on his waist. "If fighting is a sin… then let me be damned!"
Takumi then puts the Delta phone near his ear.
Henshin!
Standing By!
Takumi then puts the Delta phone in the hostler-looking Delta Mover.
Complete!
Takumi transformed into Delta for the first time since before Mari found out about his true identity as the Wolf Orphnoch. Saya smiled knowing that the true user of Delta was back. The Stagbeetle Orphnoch jumped and tried to slash at Takumi, who caught his sasumata and punched the Stagbeetle in the chest.
Yuka was gotten beaten by Kusaka, who was a skilled fighter than Yuka. As Kusaka did a jab towards Yuka, sending her flying to the ground, rolling, he takes out the Kaixa Pointer, already in Kick Mode, and puts it on his Power Ankle, before side-opening the Kaixa Phone, pressing the enter button, and closing the Kaixa Phone.
Exceed Charge!
Yuka got up and charged at Kusaka, who does a sidekick at Yuka's stomach, which forces her back, due to a giant yellow energy drill emerging from her chest.
"Stop it!" Mari cried, running towards the fight.
"Don't, Mari!" Rina cried.
"Mari-chan! It's too dangerous! Don't do it!" Keitaro plead, but Mari just kept running.
"Stop, Kusaka-kun!" Mari cried. Kusaka then jumped and did a front drop kick, executing Kaixa's Gold Smash kick. "Kusaka-kun!"
Mari then transformed into the Falcon Orphnoch and pushed Yuka out of the way.
"What? Mari, move!" Kusaka cried, but it was too late. Mari had taken the hit for Yuka, at least that what she thought. As Kusaka was executing his Gold Smash kick, he was then blasted by an unknown assailant, causing the Kaixa belt to fly off his waist, forcing the Kaixa suit to be dissolve in yellow Photon Blood.
"Mari-chan!" Keitaro cried. The unknown assailant then walked away from his shooting position. Mari weakly gets up, grabs the Kaixa belt from Kusaka, and throws it at Yuka.
"What are you trying to do, Mari?" Kusaka asked, as Mari reverted to her human state.
"Helping out my true friends," Mari responded, before turning to Yuka, who reverted to her human state. "Osada-san… You're not like the Orphnoch you, Michael and Takumi have defeated… You want to be human! With a heart that you have… you are human!"
Yuka then closes her eyes to take in Mari's words. She then remembers all the fun times she had with Michael, Kiba, Kaido, Mari, and Keitaro. As she opens her eyes, she picks up the Kaixa belt.
"What? You still want to fight, even though you're an Orphnoch?" Kusaka asked.
"I… It's true that I am an Orphnoch… and that I'm scared of humans… But that doesn't make me like every Orphnoch I've battled up to this point. The Orphnoch… seemed to be broken souls who lost themselves because someone didn't give them love. I've had the same experience. That's probably the Orphnoch's fate. I will fight fate… and win," Yuka said, putting the Kaixa belt on her waist. "The humans I've met have been kinder than anyone I know. Kimura-san… Inui-san… Sonoda-san… Kaido-san… Kiba-san… Keitaro-san… and Michael… have been giving me the kindness that I needed. They fixed my broken soul. And for those broken souls who attack humans… they'll hear my message!"
Yuka then side-opened the Kaixa Phone.

Standing By!
Henshin!
Complete!

As Yuka put the Kaixa Phone into the Kaixa Belt, yellow Photon Blood rushed through her body, and after a bright flash, Yuka had become Kaixa again. She then charged and kicked the Stagbeetle Orphnoch, from behind, having him roll on the ground. Murakami responses to this by summoning ivy-shaped halo, transforming them into whips, and slashing Yuka's Fullmetal Lung chest armor with them. Murakami was then tackled by Michael and Takumi, but Murakami was still standing.
"Osada-san, we've got this!" Michael exclaimed, reassuring Yuka that he and Takumi will handle Murakami. Yuka then resumed her battle with the Stagbeetle Orphnoch. As the two battle, Yuka took out the Kaixa Pointer, and inserted the Kaixa Mission Memory into the Kaixa Pointer, transforming it into its Kick Mode.
Ready!
Yuka then attaches the Kaixa Pointer to her right Power Ankle, and resumes her battle with the Stagbeetle.
Saya then runs to the cleaning van, which catches the attention of Keitaro and Rina.
"Kimura-san! Where are you going?!" Keitaro asked, as Saya opened the back of the cleaning van, which she saw a digital watch, looking similar to the Axel Watch for Faiz, except it's Mission Memory looked similar to Kaixa. The Mission Memory, that looked similar to Kaixa, was light gray, with the Kaixa design being bright yellow. Saya quickly took the wristwatch, and ran towards Yuka.
"Osada-san!" Saya exclaimed, which caught the attention of Yuka. "Here!"
Saya threw the wristwatch at Yuka, who managed to catch it, after jumping from an attack from the Stagbeetle.
(End Insert Song)
"I just finished it! It's the Break Watch! I designed it from the Axel Watch to help your power! Use it!" Saya exclaimed.
"Kimura-san… Thank you!" Yuka thanked Saya, before putting the Break Watch on her right wrist, he took out the Break mission memory from the Break Watch, and inserted it into the Kaixa Phone.
Complete!
The Fullmetal Lung chest plates of Kaixa started to rise and recessed themselves into shoulder pads, revealing the Kaixa Core on the center of the chest. The Kaixa suit flashed and turned the Photon Streams from yellow to white, transforming Yuka into her Break Form.
The Stagbeetle Orphnoch got up and charged at Yuka, who pressed the Starter Button.
Start Up!
Everything around Yuka then became slow motion. Yuka sped toward the Stagbeetle Orphnoch, punching him a multiple of times, before throwing him, which causes the Stagbeetle's sasumata to fall out of his hands. Yuka then sped behind the Stagbeetle, and kicked him to the air. Yuka then jumped into the air and five yellow energy drills appeared, Yuka does her corkscrew kick, and entered into the middle yellow energy drill, with the other four following, executing her Break Gold Smash.
3, 2, 1!
As she exited the Stagbeetle's body, everything resumed to motion.
Time Out!
The Stagbeetle Orphnoch then had the Kaixa symbol emerging from his back, before crumbling into ash. Yuka's time in defeating the Orphnoch, in Break Form, went 20 seconds more than Michael, in Axel Form.
Deformation!
The process from Kaixa to Break, starts to reverse, as Yuka's Break Form, start to turn back into Kaixa's regular form.
Kiba was having trouble against the revived Mantis Orphnoch, due to the lather's increased strength because of its revival. The Mantis was so powerful now, that he was able to break Kiba's Horse Sword, and managed slash him, sending him flying into a tree. As the Mantis lifted its right sickle to finish Kiba off, he was soon blasted. Kiba then turned to see the assailant that helped Mari in getting the Kaixa belt from Kusaka. It was another rider, that had a black Sol Foam suit, red Photon Streams on his chest, a giant eye on the right side of his helmet, covering half of his visor, a pistol, on the right side of the belt, with a digital camera, on the left side, that looked similar to the Faiz Shot and Kaixa Shot, and had the motif of an Alpha symbol.
"What?" Kiba said in confusion, with his human form appearing in his shadow. The rider then speeds into the revived Mantis Orphnoch and punched him. As the Mantis got up, the rider managed to overpower him.
"What is going on? Why is there another belt?" Kiba asked. As the mysterious rider delivered another punch to the Mantis' face, he takes out his pistol and fires at the Mantis' chest, a few times, before taking out its Mission Memory and inserted it into the pistol.
Ready!
The pistol was then converting into a lightsaber, generating a blade, made out of Sol Glass, before opening the rider's phones from the belt, pressing the enter button, and then closing it.
Exceed Charge!
The rider then runs at the Mantis and slashes him three times, causing the Mantis to, once again, to crumble into ash. The rider then undoes its transformation, and it's revealed to be Sawada Aki.
"You... Sawada?" Kiba said in confusion.
"I came to save Mari's life... and to get revive on one of the Ryusei School murderers. That's all," Sawada said, before walking away.
Back to the fight in the warehouse, Michael and Takumi were having trouble with Murakami. They couldn't even land a single punch on him. Murakami punched Michael and Takumi so hard, the two rolled on the ground. Murakami laughs as he slowly walks to Michael and Takumi, who quickly took out their Mission Memories. Michael inserted his Faiz Mission Memory to the Faiz Pointer, converting it into its Kick Mode, and Takumi inserted the Delta Mission Memory in to the Delta Mover's Blaster Mode, converting it into its Pointer Mode. Michael then attaches the Faiz Pointer onto his right Power Ankle, before opening the Faiz Phone, pressing the enter button, and then closing it.
Faiz: Exceed Charge!
Check!
Delta: Exceed Charge!
Michael extends his right leg, the same time Takumi pulls the trigger on the Delta Blaster's Kick Mode, producing red and blue energy drills, respectively, on Murakami's chest. The two then jumped to the sky and executed their Crimson Smash, for Faiz, and Lucifer's Hammer, for Delta, kicks. However, Murakami suddenly disappeared in red rose pedals.
"What? He disappeared?" Michael asked, before Takumi picked up a rose pedal.
"Roses?" Takumi observed.
"Yes! We did it!" Yuka exclaimed.
Error!
The Kaixa suit then suddenly disappear in yellow Photon Blood.
"What?" Yuka asked.
"Osada-san!" Mari exclaimed, as she and Rina ran towards her. "Are you alright?"
"Yeah. But something happened after I used the Break Watch," Yuka said, before Saya took the Kaixa belt from her waist. "Hey!"
"I'm just going to look at it. Sorry, it's an impulse I've always had. Science had always been a mystery to me," Saya apologized, before noticing that Kusaka and Kyosuke had vanished.
"Osada... You're friend wants to say something to you," Rina said, before she and Mari stepped away, revealing Keitaro. Yuka still turns her back towards Keitaro, still having fear, due to him being the only full human in the group. Keitaro then embraces Yuka from behind.
"You shouldn't..." Yuka said.
"Yes, I should," Keitaro responded.
"You shouldn't," Yuka said.
"Yes, I should. I really should," Keitaro responded.
"But... You're human... and I'll just cause more trouble for you, Keitaro-san," Yuka said, in worry for her pen pal.
"You know my dream, right? I really think... that humans and Orphnoch can live in peace. That's why... I can handle a little trouble. I'll take on your troubles," Keitaro said, and Yuka turned to give Keitaro a giant hug that he was waiting for. Tears of happiness were flowing from Yuka's eyes for Keitaro accepting her as an Orphnoch.
Kusaka, watching in the moment, turns and walks with disgust on his face.
"Don't think you can continue on like this. I still have tricks of my sleeves," Kusaka said.
"Say... Would you help get Delta back for me?" Kyosuke asked, which resulted in Kusaka punching Kyosuke.
"You're annoying if you think Delta can help surpass the Ryusei School students. I am... the strongest," Kusaka said, transforming into the Shark Orphnoch, and attacked Kyosuke, who quickly transformed into the Crab Orphnoch. However, Kyosuke was inferior to Kusaka, as the latter did a stabbing motion, which sent Kyosuke flying away. Kusaka then reverts to his human state and looks at Mari.
"Don't you understand Mari? I'm the one who's supposed to be with you. Any man besides me... doesn't suit you at all," Kusaka said, before walking the away.
"Hey!" Michael, who already undid his transformation, same for Takumi, called out to Yuka and Keitaro. "Could I have a moment with my girlfriend?"
"Of course," Keitaro smiled, breaking the hug from Yuka, having her turned to Michael.
"You know... I was very scared for you. You're the one I trust to most, the one I rely on listen to my feelings, my partner. Losing you would be the worst thing for me, Kiba, and Keitaro," Michael said with tears in his eyes. Yuka responded by walking towards Michael, and wrapping her arms around his neck.
"Idiot. I'm not going anywhere," Yuka said, before she pressed her lips onto Michael's, which catches him off-guard, at first, but soon melts into the kiss, as he grabs her waist.
"Yes!" Michiko exclaimed. "Way to go, sis!"
"Hey. Don't ruin their moment!" Takumi said to Michiko.
"I can't be happy for my sister?" Michiko asked. "This is so romantic!"
"Let's just go," Takumi said, as he grabbed Michiko's wrist and forces her away from the moment, leaving Michael and Yuka to continuing their first kiss.
As the battle was over, Saeko, who transformed back to her human state, wakes up, and seems to be confused.
"Where am I?" Saeko asked, as she got up from the leaves. "What was I doing?"
Saeko then walks away, without taking noticing that Hanagata, transformed as the Goat Orphnoch, was watching her.
To Be Continued
This is where the Ordeal part of the journey is at its end. I've added a couple of unused ideas from Faiz. Kaixa Break Form would be difficult for Inoue to include since he didn't know how to include power-ups for the secondary rider, at the time. I decided to add it in, to keep the tradition of secondary rider final forms. The Kaixa Break form runs on 30 seconds, according to the image translator on Google Translate. Some of the Yuka hitting rock bottom stuff is inspired by a fanfic where Yuka became Kaixa. The story is called After the Snow by Oryx. I just wanted to say that in hope I don't get sued on fanfic by the writer. Wait, can that actually happen?
Anyways, I also added Neo-Alpa. I didn't intend to add him, originally, because I couldn't find the way to include him in the story. But, I did it, and here we are. I also made another redesign of the cover, due to the image being too small. So I decided to make my own from scratch. I swear this is the last time.
Thank you for reading, everyone. I hope all of you had a Happy New Year! 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.
