Hello everyone! It's good to see you. I hope you enjoy this episode.
(Cue War of the Mammoths by VideoHelper; 0:00-1:21)
(This is a recap from the last episode)
Kiba slashed Murakami's stomach from the right side, using his Horse Sword's Horse Slash attack, and Sawada slashed Murakami's stomach from the left side, using the Alpa Raizer finishing slash, the Alpa Clash.
Yuka pressed the Starter Button of the Break Watch.
Start Up!
Everything around Yuka then became slow motion, as she jumped in the air and extended her right leg, and a giant yellow drill appeared at Murakami's chest. Takumi then blasts at Murakami, having a giant blue energy drill on his chest. The two then executed their Gold Smash and Lucifer's Hammer kicks, respectively, and entered through Murakami's body.
Faiz Blaster: Exceed Charge!
Michael then pulled the trigger on the Photon Breaker and fires a powerful and large blast of Photon Energy, executing the Photon Buster at Murakami, just in time as Yuka and Takumi finished their kicks.
Though Murakami was still standing, he looked injured, as it was seen that he was moving slow.
Sawada yells and as he throws a punch at Murakami. But Murakami disappears in rose pedals to avoid Sawada's punch. The wind was blowing the rose pedals away.
(time jump for recap)
Teruo's shadow turned into an adult, then transforming into a Orphnoch with the motif of a grasshopper. It had a scarf around the neck, two cloths on the shoulders that make the scarf look like a cape, and the Orphnoch Crest was more larger than the usual Orphnochs. The Orphnoch shadow comes alive and rises beside Teruo. This was the Arch Orphnoch.
"Take it... Take my life!" Murakami begged, as he extends his arms as a sacrifice. Murakami laughs as he is about to have his life taken. The Arch Orphnoch had his hands risen at Murakami, having tentacles coming out of his fingers and into Murakami, sucking his life energy. From a distance, Hanagata was watching Murakami's sacrifice, as it was finished when Murakami bursted into blue flames and collapses on the asphalt. However, instead of crumbling to ash, he is frozen like stone, as were the blue flames. Murakami Kyouji was now dead.
The influence of the Arch Orphnoch has disappeared when Teruo was snapped back to reality, seeing someone he didn't know or what happened to him. Teruo turns and runs away in fright. Hanagata soon walks to the frozen and dead Murakami and gives the body a nudge with his right foot, having Murakami turn into ash.
(End Track)
"This is... the power of the King?" Hanagata thought to himself.

Episode 41: Saya's Revenge
Restaurant
Michael and Yuka were on another date. This time, it was at a Italian restaurant. Yuka always loves to have dates with Michael. It makes her and Michael smile.
"Seriously?! Kaido did that?!" Michael asked.
"He was so loud when he was snoring!" Yuka confirmed, as the two giggled, but tried to keep it down because they didn't want to be loud. The two then received their food. Michael and Yuka got the same thing, butter spaghetti with cheese.
"Itakimatsu!" The two said as they started eating.
"It's good!" Yuka said in happiness. "Remember when you gave me this when we first met?"
"Yeah. You were hungry and I didn't want to starve you," Michael nodded.
"You're a very nice person, Michael," Yuka told him.
"And you are a beautiful person, Yuka," Michael complimented, which made Yuka blush. Yuka's blushing stopped when she saw a bit of ash falling from Michael's hand, while Michael was eating his spaghetti.
"What's wrong?" Michael asked.
"Oh. It's nothing," Yuka responded, nervous for Michael.
Smart Brain President Room
"What? You made Kageyama Saeko as president, father?" Kusaka questioned, shocked that Saeko of the Lucky Clover was now Smart Brain's new president. "What is the meaning of this."
Saeko doesn't respond. Takuma walks to Hanagata, sitting on a chair.
"Don't you remember? Saeko-san is a member of the Lucky Clover. There's not a possibility that she can do two at once," Takuma told Hanagata.
"More importantly, what happened to Murakami?" Kusaka asked.
"He is no longer in this world," Hanagata told them, which had the three concerned. Even Kusaka was concerned. "He life was taken… by the King."
"King?" Takuma questioned.
"I'm sure you've heard the stories about the Orphnoch King from Murakami-kun. However, the King grows by using Orphnoch as nourishment," Hanagata explained, getting up from his chair. "I've told Saeko the truth, and some of her memories and Orphnoch side has returned. All of us most cooperate with each other. That include the Orphnoch you deemed traitors. So we can defeat the King. Or else… Most of the Orphnoch will fall prey to the King."
"Oh? So we have to fight the King? Sounds interesting," Kitazaki smiled, in a sleepy voice. "Good for you. If it wasn't for this development, I would have defeated you already if you became a traitorous Orphnoch."
"I'm different than I was before. You can't defeat me right now. No one can," Saeko told Kitazaki. Just then, the five heard noise from outside of the president room. Two Smart Brain employees came flying from the doors, and from the broken doors was the Scorpion Orphnoch, who had a similar body of that of the Stingfish Orphnoch. Kusaka transformed into the Shark Orphnoch and tries to strike at the Scorpion, who blocks the punch with his weapon, a flail with a spiked metal ball attached.
"Wait… I know you!" Kusaka said in surprise, recognizing the Scorpion Orphnoch.
"Did you miss me?" The Scorpion Orphnoch asked.
"Oonogi. Long time, no seen," Kitazaki said with a smile. "I haven't seen you seen we killed the Ryusei School students. What are you doing here?"
The Scorpion Orphnoch transforms into his human form, Oonogi, being a man with a green buttoned-up shirt with a black blazer.
"I heard there was a fourth belt. I wanted to help you to see if it was true. More importantly… I want to take the place of the Ryusei School student… that is in the Lucky Clover," Oonogi explained.
"What?" Kusaka questioned.
"I've heard through rumors that you've been using a machine to revive Orphnoch who were involved in the Ryusei School massacre. However, that machine was taken in and destroyed by a human organization, from the former Smart Brain president," Oonogi explained. Kusaka turned to his foster father.
"Father… Why?" Kusaka asked.
"You attacked your classmates. You were suppose to fight with them. Not the other way around," Hanagata told Kusaka, who clenches his right fist.
Saitama Keyaki Hirobo
Michael and Yuka were sitting with each other on a bench.
"Hey, a whole lot of major things happened at this place," Yuka told Michael.
"Yeah. It was the first time you confessed to me, and when Keitaro saw your Orphnoch form," Michael told her, having her smile fade away. "What's wrong?"
"It's nothing!" Yuka smiled, reassuring Michael. "It was just a hard time for me."
"Do you regret not telling Keitaro?" Michael asked.
"Not really, to be honest. I was just scared what he might think of me. But, I'm happy that he accepts me for who I am as a person," Yuka explained, still smiling. Her smile was cut off when she felt an unpleasant presence.
"What's wrong?" Michael asked, noticing her expression. Yuka looks up in the trees and her eyes widen.
"Look out!" Yuka exclaimed pushing Michael from the Scorpion Orphnoch jumping from the tree. Yuka lands on her back and looks at Oonogi, transformed as the Scorpion Orphnoch. "Orphnoch!"
Michael nor Yuka didn't have the Faiz and Kaixa belts, respectively. Oonogi lifts Michael from the ground, slaps him, and punches him in the ground. Oonogi then uses the needle on the top of his head to extend to inject neurotoxin into Michael's neck, paralyzing his movement.
"Michael!" Yuka cried, transforming into the Crane Orphnoch and grabbing Oonogi from behind, punching and kicking him. Takumi then arrives on his motorcycle, taking off his biker gear. Takumi's eyes widen as he recognizes the Scorpion Orphnoch.
"That guy..." Takumi said, as Oonogi struck Yuka with his flail, having Yuka to roll on the ground.
"This is it," Oonogi declared, having his top needle to inject Yuka. However, Takumi takes the hit, as the needle injected neurotoxin through Takumi's neck, causing his movement to be paralyzed.
"No!" Yuka cried, as she stood up. Yuka generates her golden wings for her scissors attack, damaging Oonogi, sending him flying into a tree. Oonogi notices that Yuka, Michael, and Takumi had vanished, growling.
Hospital
Kiba, Mari, Keitaro, and Saya, hurried at the hospital to see Michael and Takumi's situation. There were in hospital beds, with doctors trying to find out on how to cure the neurotoxin.
"I can't believe it. This is the second time this has happened," Mari said in surprise.
"Takkun..." Keitaro said in worry, as he the noticed Saya clenching her fist in anger. "Kimura-san?"
"That Orphnoch... was the one with the scorpion power. One of the Orphnochs that were part of the Ryusei School reunion," Saya explained. "It's the same movement that I was experiencing before I died. This Orphnoch..."
Saya then starts to walk away.
"Wait!" Yuka exclaimed, running after her. "I can help you! You don't have to do it alone!"
"Let go! This for the Ryusei School students who have fallen!" Saya demanded.
"But...!" Yuka said, holding on Saya' right arm.
"I say let go!" Saya screamed hitting Yuka, to the stair railing.
"Saya!" Mari exclaimed, running to her friend. "Please, calm down. I know how you feel. Doing this in anger won't solve anything."
"But... I have witnessed the suffering from my classmates. I've witnessed Kyosuke, Arai-kun, and Kawachi-kun suffer. I can't take it anymore!" Saya cried, crouching down on the floor and cry. Mari crouches down and hugs Saya to comfort her.
"It's alright... Saya," Mari comforted her fellow Ryusei School student.
Beach
Kitazaki looks at the ocean, bored. Then, footsteps started to approach Kitazaki. It was Sawada's footsteps, which made Kitazaki smile.
"Took you long enough..." Kitazaki smiled, turning to Sawada.
"What do you want?" Sawada asked, as Kitazaki cracked his neck.
"You've caused some problems at Smart Brain. Murakami-san is dead because of you and your allies. But, he wasn't truly dead until he was finished by the Orphnoch King," Kitazaki explained.
"Orphnoch King?" Sawada questioned. "What is that?"
"How am I supposed to know?" Kitazaki asked. "I just got reintroduced to him. But, I can take out a small fry."
Kitazaki's face faded gray as he then transformed into the Dragon Orphnoch. Sawada then flips open the Neo-Alpa phone.

Henshin
Complete!
Sawada transforms into Neo-Alpa and takes out his Alpa Raizer and fires at Kitazaki, which he deflects with his dragon-like claw gauntlets.
Ajinomoto Stadium
Outside of the Ajinomoto Stadium, Yuka was using the Orphnoch Searcher to locate the Scorpion Orphnoch.
"Where is that Orphnoch?" Yuka wondered, searching the Scorpion Orphnoch from left to right.
"You're Osada Yuka, right?" Oonogi asked, from the entrance stairs of the arena, which had Yuka turn to him. "While you are an Orphnoch, you refuse to attack humans."
"When will you guys get it? I fight to protect humans," Yuka told Oonogi. "No matter what you say, I will not join you."
"Okay. I tried to do this the easy way… I will execute you," Oonogi said, as his face faded gray and he transformed into the Scorpion Orphnoch.
"Found you!" Yuka exclaimed, putting the Kaixa Gear on her waist, and side-opening the Kaixa Phone.

Standing By!
Henshin!
Complete!
Yuka transformed into Kaixa and began fighting Oonogi, who summons his flail for battle.
Hospital
Saya sat on the exit stairs, looking at the wall. She was trying to not let her hate take over her, because she had the fear that her anger will trigger her Orphnoch side. Mari opens the exit door to talk to Saya, walking to her and sitting down next to her.
"Hey," Mari greeted, having Saya almost jump.
"Oh, hey," Saya greeted, with a sad tone of voice.
"I know how you feel. Believe me, I do. I was surprised myself when I found out I was an Orphnoch. I couldn't believe it. But, with the help of the people I'm close with, I still reminded human. I know you don't want to believe that Father was the source of this entire battle. Even I don't know if it's true. But I do know that our classmates would want to keep fighting for them, like how Sawada-kun is fighting the Orphnoch," Mari said to Saya, who started to realize what was important for this fight. "The Orphnoch are at fault… but duplicating their ways causes more problems. That's just what I believe."
"Duplication… causes more problems?" Saya repeated to herself, as Mari showed Saya the Faiz and Delta gears. "That's…"
"Your strong, Saya. You may be afraid of Delta… But you should still fight," Mari advised Saya, as she took the Faiz Gear and ran off to fight. Saya just stares at the Delta Gear and takes out the Delta Belt.
"Mari…" Saya said to herself.
Beach
Sawada fires his Alpa Raizer at Kitazaki, having sparks fly out of him, with little to no effect.
"Weak, weak," Kitazaki criticized. "I expected more from an artificial Orphnoch."
"Don't mess with me!" Sawada shouted, as he took out the Neo-Alpa Mission Memory and inserted into the Alpha Raizer.
Ready!
The Alpa Raizer was converted into its Blade Mode, generating a red blade made out of Sol Glass. Sawada charges at Kitazaki, who just stands in his position, and slashes at him in the chest. Kitazaki takes the pain and laughs, transforming into the Dragon-Human Form, so he can use his super speed to overpower Sawada.
Ajinomoto Stadium
Sparks came from Yuka's Fullmetal Lung armor, as Oonogi struck Yuka with his flail, having her fall to the ground. Yuka dodges an attack from the Oonogi's flail, but is kicked by his incredible leg strength.
"This is the end for you… Traitorous Orphnoch," Oonogi said, as his human form appeared in his shadow, raising his flail. Then, from behind, Auto Vajin appears from the sky and fires at Oonogi's back using its wheel-like handgun weapon, the Buster Wheel. Auto Vajin then lands on the ground and Mari steps into the battlefield, with the Faiz Gear on her waist.
"That's far enough, Orphnoch," Mari said.
"You!" Oonogi exclaimed, as Mari flipped open the Faiz Phone.

Standing By!
Henshin!
Complete!
Mari transformed into Faiz, after her many errors in the past, having her surprise.
"Sonoda-san!" Yuka exclaimed.
"So, this is Faiz? Alright, come at me Orphnoch!" Mari challenged, to test out Faiz's powers. Oonogi yelled out a battle cry and charged at Mari, who punched Oonogi so hard, that he was sent flying and rolling to the ground.
"I'm glad that you can make it, Sonoda-san," Yuka said, getting up and running next to her. "But why…?"
"Don't know. Saya is the one with the explanations," Mari shrugged.
"You brats… You'll pay for that!" Oonogi said, getting up, before he got hit by a fireball. The three turned to see Saya, transformed as the Phoenix Orphnoch, from exterior stairs of the stadium.
"Saya!" Mari exclaimed, as Saya jumped from her shooting place and landed on her feet, transformed back to her human state, puts the Delta Gear on her waist, and lifts the Delta Phone near her ear.
Henshin!
Standing By!
Complete!
Saya transformed into Delta.
"Here I go…" Saya said as she took out the Delta Mover, which combined with the Delta Phone to make the Delta Blaster, and lifts it near her ear. "Fire!"
Burst Mode!
(Insert EGO ~ eyes glazing over by ICHIDAI; 0:12-0:22, 1:09-1:20, 3:40-3:57, 4:04-4:14)
Saya fires at Oonogi, who had sparks coming from his chest. The three girls then started to fight Oonogi as one. Oonogi was being overpowered by three powerful women, as all three of them did a sidekick in the chest, sending him tumblinb backwards.
Check!
Delta Gear: Exceed Charge!
Mari opened the Faiz Phone and pressed the enter button, before closing it/
Faiz Gear: Exceed Charge!
The two girls extended their legs, which had a red, for Mari, and blue, for Saya, energy drills. Mari and Saya jumped into the air and did a flying side kick and flying front kick, respectively, executing their Crimson Smash and Lucifer's Hammer Kicks, entering through the drills. Even after Mari and Saya finished their kicks, Oonogi was still standing, meaning that it was Yuka's turn.
Yuka takes 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.
Yuka pressed the Starter Button of the Break Watch.
Start Up!
Everything around Yuka then became slow motion, as she charged at Oonogi, punching him many times. Yuka then rips the stinger on Oonogi's head, having a bit of ash to fall it, which seems to be the symbolism for Orphnoch blood. Yuka finally delivers the finishing blow, executing her Break Grand Impact.
3, 2, 1! Time Out!
The Kaixa symbol appears behind of Oonogi's back before crumbling into ash.
(End Insert Song)
Deformation!
The process from Kaixa to Break, starts to reverse, as Yuka's Break Form, start to turn back into Kaixa's regular form.
"At last... The Ryusei School murders have been killed. No... There's still one more," Saya said to the girls.
"We'll worry about that later. But for now... We have something to do," Yuka told Saya, holding up the ripped out stinger from Oonogi.

Beach
Kitazaki, back into the Demon-Human Form of the Dragon Orphnoch, was getting the upperhand against Sawada.
"Give it up... I am the strongest. Even if with the power of the fourth belt... You'll be no match for me," Kitazaki said, as his human form appeared in his shadow.
"Shut up! I will defeat you... I swear... Those lives you've taken... You'll pay!" Sawada said, getting up from his injuries, from the sand, and charged at Kitazaki, delivering a slash at his armored body. Kitazaki then generated 10,000 volts from his horns and struck Sawada in the chest, sending him flying, as well as the belt flying off his waist, rolling on the ground, causing the Sol Foam suit and Sol Metal armor to disappear.
"Weak, weak. This is the end," Kitazaki, lifting his right-like claw gauntlet, before a bit of ash fell out . "What?! Time's up?! You better be prepared, Sawada. The next time we battle... it'll be your last."
Kitazaki runs away, ending the fight. Sawada slams his right fist on the sand, as he was feeling guilt on losing a battle against Kitazaki.
Hospital
"I'm glad to see the two of you are recovered," Mari said, smiling at the recovered Michael and Takumi.
"I never thought that I would be in a hospital after the last time this has happened," Michael said.
"What? You mean this has happened before?" Takumi asked.
"Yeah," Michael nodded. "It was about 7 months ago. I was poisoned by the Toadstool Orphnoch. But, Osada-san managed to save me. It's probably where her feelings for me began."
"That is true " Yuka said, giving Michael a kiss on the cheek, making the two blush. Mari then noticed Saya looking out the window.
"Saya…" Mari said, walking to her classmate.
"I've made up my mind… I'm going to fight… for justice for my classmates. I want to save Kusaka-kun as well," Saya said to Mari.
"I do too. I don't want him to be like this. Michael and the others may not see… But I think Kusaka-kun can be saved," Mari told Saya.
We'll save him… Along with seeing if you're right about Father's intentions," Saya said, and Mari nodded in agreement.
To Be Continued
Sorry it took my a month to finish. I'm busy working on Faiz and Megaforce on the same time. So, please expect slow updates. This is proabbly one of the weakest episodes I wrote of Faiz, in my opinion. It was really hard to come up with an original story.
Reviews (I haven't done this with Faiz readers in a while):
Guest: Do you expect me to kill off my favorite character of Faiz? No way! But, one of the main characters will die during the endgame arc. But, it won't be Yuka.
Thank you so much 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.
