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.

Neighborhood
It was night at a suburban neighborhood, and a young man was jogging on the sidewalk. A fancy car was driving besides the young man, who he turns to noticed the driver, that being Kageyama Saeko.
"Have you finished your drink?" Saeko asked, slowing driving.
"Could it be… Was it you who sent that champagne?" The young man asked, but no response came from Saeko. "I don't know what you want but stop with the creepy behavior. Anyway, I don't drink."
The young man continues his jogging, only to be stopped by Saeko's car, before he can make his way past the street. As the young man continues to go the opposite direction, Kitazaki, transformed as the Dragon Orphnoch, came jumping in and grabbed the young man by the throat.
"It's been a while, Miwa Nobutaka," Kitazaki greeted, as his human form appeared in his shadow.
"K-Kitazaki!" Nobutaka exclaimed. "Jesus. I thought you were dead."
"I was, because of you," Kitazaki laughed. "And now, you're going to work for us. If you value your life."
"Okay! Okay! I'll do it!" Nobutaka accepted, as Kitazaki let go of Nobutaka's throat, in response. As Nobutaka got into Saeko's car, Kitazaki transforms back to his human form.

Episode 42: Masato's Trap
Kikuchi Cleaners
It was the late morning at Kikuchi Cleaners, and Michael, Mari, Keitaro, Takumi, and Saya, were having a discussion about Mari's foster father, Hanagata, being the reason for this whole battle.
"Do you really think Hanagata-san is the cause of your parents deaths?" Michael asked, after hearing Mari's assumption.
"I'm not absolutely confident… But I did some research on the Faiz Belt," Mari told Michael.
"Really? What did it say?" Keitaro asked.
"I tried to get all the information I could get my hands on. But, nothing," Saya said.
"I broke into Smart Brain one time to save Michael. I used my fake ID to access some secret data. Look what I found," Mari explained, as she took out a piece of paper, which was an article.
"Masashi and Reiko Sonoda," Takumi read. "Does that mean…?"
"No doubt about it," Mari nodded. "My biological father and mother were the ones who made the 3 belts."
"So, they worked for Smart Brain? But why?" Michael asked.
"And why would your foster father killed them? In a fire?" Takumi asked, which had Mari concerned,
"How did you know it was a fire?" Mari asked, with Takumi not responding.
"Hey! Where is Yuka-san?" Keitaro asked, changing the subject.
"I think she's still at the gym," Saya responded.
"Osada-san goes to the gym now?" Michael asked Saya, who nodded.
"I think since the Orphnoch are getting stronger, she want to be prepared," Saya said.
Gym
(Cue Bound and Determind by VideoHelper; 0:00-0:28, 0:48-1:02)
Yuka was workin out in the gym. This was still a new experience for her, but, so far, it was worth it. Sure Murakami was defeated, but there was still Kusaka and Kitazaki, two very strong enemies. She was way more flexiable and athletic than she was in the beginning of the battle, having her look like a model.
"Hey, sis!" Michiko greeted, as Yuka was beating on a gym dummy.
(End Track)
"Michiko… What are you doing here?" Yuka asked.
"Michael told me that you would be here. I'm surprised you go to the gym," Michiko said.
"The Orphnoch are getting stronger… I have to be ready for them," Yuka explained, as she did another kick on the gym dummy.
"I see…" Michiko said, before her eyes widen for an idea. "There's a shopping sale! I want you to come with me to try on dresses. You know, sister bonding."
"Sorry, I can't," Yuka apologized. She wanted to go, but she didn't want to let her guard down.
"Come on! I want you to go. I always wanted to model with my sister!" Michiko said, smiling.
"Since when?" Yuka aksed, raising her right eyebrow.
"Since yesterday," Michiko responded, as she grabbed Yuka's wrist, forcing her out of the gym.
"Hey! Wait a minute!" Yuka exclaimed, as her wrist was being pulled by Michiko's right arm, but not too tight.
Sousai School
"No. I don't want to," Mihara declined, which made Rina sigh. Mihara was still in the fear of not wanting to fight. Rina, along with former Ryusei School classmate, Ota Shingo, were still trying to convice Mihara.
"We have no choice. Either way, Kusaka-kun is going to hunt us," Rina said to Mihara.
"I have nothing to do with this," Mihara said in denial, which Ota frustrated.
"That is it!" Ota shouted, getting up from his seat, which made Rina to try and stop him.
"Ota-kun! Please, calm down!" Rina exclaimed.
"Why can't this idiot open his eyes?!" Ota asked in frustration.
"There are children here! Could you not?" Rina asked, which made Ota calm down a bit. "Now. Mari and her friends are coming to visit and give out cookies, in the afternoon. If I can't convince you, maybe she will."
Smart Brain's Medical Laboratory
Hanagata was reading the files of his old students, whom he brought back to life using Smart Brain's technology.
"Mari... Aki... Masato... Saya... Rina... Syuji... Shingo... You are the remaining Ryusei School students. I'm sorry. This was not what I planned. I didn't mean for all of you to get involved. But your parents..." Hanagata said, as he looked as his right hand, which had a bit of ash falling out.
"Hanagata-san?" Saeko said from behind, having Hanagata turn to her.
"Come, Saeko. I must tell you something," Hanagata said, taking Saeko out of the medicos laboratory. "Do you know why I made you the president after Murakami? This is the reason why…"
Saeko was surprised and confused at the same time when she saw Hanagata's ashy right hand. Unknown to them, Kusaka was eavesdropping on them.
"What do you mean?" Saeko asked.
"Orphnochs are the next step of evolution in humanity. But such a rapid evolution… destroys the physical body," Hanagata explained. " In other words, becoming an Orphnoch is delaying your death sentence. If left alone, we will be destroyed."
"It can't be… That's…" Saeko said in shock. All of that time of being Orphnoch, is going to come to an end soon.
"The reason why I chose you… Is because in your heart, you still have humanity left," Hanagata explained. "Orphnoch and humanity cannot coexist. I know you have the courage to choose the path of destruction. For humanity's sake… Even so, it is ironic."
"What? What is ironic?" Saeko asked, intrigued by Hanagata's comment.
"The three belts I sent a long time ago… were originally created in order to protect the Orphnoch King. And yet now… Mari and the others are trying to protect that boy… but they don't realize a thing," Hanagata told Mari, which had Kusaka realize something from his eavesdropping.
"That boy? It couldn't be… He's the Orphnoch King?!" Kusaka thought in his head, leaving the conversation, but only to be spotted by Saeko.
Super Saitama Arena: Metal Stairs
Kusaka exits the hidden Smart Brain Medical Labortory, only to be stopped by Saeko.
"Wait," Saeko called out, stopping Kusaka.
"I heard everything. If I destroy the Orphnoch King… it's the same as killing all the other Orphnoch," Kusaka told Saeko. "In that case, I will destroy the King. You satisfied with that? That's for humanity's sake as well."
"Hanagata-san doesn't understand the despair I feel for humanity," Saeko responded. "I'm still deciding on who should be destroyed. The humans or the Orphnoch. We do have a shorter life span, after all."
"We'll see what your choice is," Kusaka smirked in response, walking away.
Shopping Mall
(Cue Thats Very Euro by VideoHelper; 0:00-0:21, 0:57-1:12)
Yuka and Michiko were at the mall, shopping. There tried on many dresses, with smiles on their faces, showing that they were having fun.
The last set they tried had Michiko wearing a light blue dress with dark blue heels, and Yuka wearing a white shirt and green camp pants, looking like she was part of the military.
(End Track)
"So, is this tough or what?" Yuka asked, asking for Michiko's opinion.
"It's good, Yuka. But, I'm not sure it's your style," Michiko said.
"I just want to be more stronger for fighting against the Orphnoch," Yuka explained, as she imagined herself punching Kusaka in the face.
"Yuka… Now that I'm better person… I can tell you that your strong in your own way," Michiko told Yuka. "And beautiful too. No wondering what Michael chose your to be his girlfriend."
Yuka smiled a bit, knowing that it was true. But, would she be strong enough to defeat Kitazaki and Kusaka?
Kikuchi Cleaners
Saya got out a medical cut and sighed, as she took a needle out.
"Michael," Saya said, as Michael turned to her.
"Yeah?" Michael turned to see Saya holding a needle, which made Michael to jump out of his seat. "Woah! Woah! Okay!"
"I'm just taking a bit of blood just to analyze your current situation," Saya told Michael, wit the needle in her hand.
"I should've told you, since you're a science' person, that I'm not a fan of needles!" Michael exclaimed.
"Just calm down," Saya said.
Police Station
Nobuhiko Sawamura, was taking the files of the Sakurabayashi Girls' High School basketball murders, from the shelf, just as senior dectectivr Jyoji Soeno, entered Sawamura's office.
"Oh, Sawamura. What are you doing here?" Soeno asked.
"Ah… well… something was brother me," Sawamura said, showing him the file of the basketball murders.
"Leave it alone for now. The higher- ups are calling. Doesn't look like you're having much luck here anyway," Jyoji told Sawamura.
"Right. I'll go now," Sawamura complied, as Soeno left. "Please wait, Soeno-san! This is it. Please look at this."
"Oh this. If I recall…" Soeno said, looking at case of the Sakurabayashi Girls' High School basketball murders. "It's a photograph of the Sakurabayashi Girls' High School basketball club, who, but two, died mysteriously."
"Yes. The only two alive… are these two," Sawamura said, pointed at Yuka and Michiko at the picture, circled.
"That's what I just said," Soeno told Sawamura.
"Sorry," Sawamura apologized.
"Anyways, what about them?" Soeno asked, as Sawamura shuts the door.
"I saw her recently, when I was investigating that orphanage," Sawamura explained.
Sousai School (Flashback)
"What was that about?" Yuka asked Michael, who passed by Soeno and Sawamura, along with Kaido.
"What's wrong?" Soeno asked.
"Come on, be honest," Yuka said.
"Well… I feel like I've seen her somewhere before," Sawamura explained, as he looked at Yuka.
"This is probably some strange coincidence. You've been watching too much sci-fi," Soeno told Sawamura, as a man, with a long brown hair, a suit and tie, with a tenchcoat covering the clothing, and black sunglasses n his eyes, enters the interrogation room.
"Who are you?" Sawamura asked, as the man, who smiles at Soeno.
"It's been a while, Soeno," The man said.
"Minami-san!" Soeno said, shaking the man's hand. "How have you been?"
"I've been doing good," Minami told Soeno.
"This is Minami Masahiko-san from the higher ups?!" Sawamura exclaimed. "Forgive me. I've only heard of you,"
"It's alright. I get that reaction every now and again. But, I didn't come to sign autographs. I had no time to waste waiting around for you in the conference room. So we'll just have the meeting in here," Minami told the two (Cue Truth Behind the Lie by VideoHelper; 0:00-1:13), sitting down on a chair.
Later
"Stop our investigations?! What do you mean by this?!" Soeno asked.
"Just as it's written right there," Minami stated the obvious. "The serial arson cases you two are investigating… Those are not incidents, merely accidents."
"Hearing that, this may be a futile question…" Soeno said, sitting back down on his seat. "Is there some kind of pressure from someone here? Is that the situation?"
"As you said… a futile question," Minami responded, as he then saw the photo of the Sakurabayashi Girls' High School basketball club, with Yuka and Michiko circled, preceding to take off his sunglasses. "Do you know these two?"

Yuka was walking from her day with Michiko. She was smiling, as her head was cleared from any stress. That's when Nobutaka Miwa, step in in front of Yuka.
"Can I help you?" Yuka asked.
"Sorry… But, hand over that belt," Nobutaka said, as his face faded light gray and he transformed into the prince-looking Frilledlizard Orphnoch, who has a similar body to the Swordfish Orphnoch.
"Orphnoch!" Yuka exclaimed, as Nobutaka fired ultrasonic waves from his oral cavity, which a Yuka quickly dodged, as she put on the belt. Nobutaka fires another ultrasonic wave from his oral cavity. "Henshin!"
After a little explosion, Yuka runs through the smoke, as she had transformed into Kaixa.
Kikuchi Cleaning
Michael got up from his seat as the Orphnoch Sensor went on alert, which gave Saya then chance to take some blood from Michael.
"What the hell?!" Michael shouted.
"Sorry. But, it's over," Saya apologized, as Michael went to see where the location is at.
"Osada-san's already fighting it," Michael reported.
"I'll call Inui-san and Sawada-kun," Saya said.
"Wait! Another Orphnoch is heading for Mari's way," Michael told Saya.
"What?" Saya questioned.
Underpass
Mihara and Rina were riding their motorcycles through an underpass, where Ota, also on a motorcycle, stops them. Ota takes off his helmet and punches Mihara in the face, having him fall on the asphalt, knocking off his helmet,
"Stop it. I've got to get home. I have to return home!" Mihara told Ota, who grabs him by the collar.
"How many times do I have to tell you before you get it?!" Ota shouted. "You can't run away! We have to combine our efforts so we can fight our destiny!"
Mihara couldn't think of a response to Ota's lecture. As Rina gets off of her motorcycle, she sees Kusaka.
"Masato…" Rina said, which had Mihara and Ota to turn to Kusaka.
"Kusaka!" Ota exclaimed.
"Stop it, Kusaka… I'm not involved!" Mihara told Kusaka. "I'm not involved!"
"Why do we have to fight?! We were fellow Ryusei School students!" Ota reminded Kusaka.
"I don't want to see your faces anymore. And the fact that you're alive…" Kusaka said, as his face faded light gray. "…is a pain in the ass."
Kusaka then transforms into the Shark Orphnoch, and comes at Ota, who quickly transforms into the Fox Orphnoch.
As Kusaka overpowers Ota, the latter summons a kunai as a weapon, to combat Kusaka's saw-like swords, with the hammer handle. Mihara decided to flee from the fight, but was stopped by Rina.
"Mihara-kun! What are you doing?!" Rina asked.
"Let go!" Mihara said.
"Are you really going to leave your fellow classmates fighting?!" Rina asked, as Ota fired a fireball at Kusaka, who quickly dodged it with a jump and spin in the air. Kusaka spins at slashes at Ota, damaging him, before delivering the fatal blow, by stabbing Ota in the chest, having him fumble into ash. "Ota-kun!"
Mihara was now frightened.
"Can we leave now?!" Mihara asked.
"Now we can," Rina said, as the two got on their motorcycles and sped from Kusaka.
"You won't get away from me that easily," Kusaka told the two, as he transformed into his Swimming Form to pursuit Rina and Mihara.

Michael, on Auto Vajin, rides to see Yuka having trouble fighting against Nobutaka. Michael quickly gets off Auto a Vajin and flips open the Faiz Phone.

Michael, now transformed as Faiz, charges at Nobutaka, and punches him in the face, sending him flying into the water.
"Sorry that I'm late," Michael apologized.
"No worries. I was just being considerate in having him get a few hits," Yuka reassured Michael, as the two saw Nobutaka was now on water. "That Orphnoch… He can walk on water!"
"Okay… That's new," Michael said, as Nobutaka ran on the water and jumped back on the surface, summoning a rapier and a frilled lizard-like shield. The two charged at the Nobutaka, who uses his shield to deflect Michael's punch and his rapier to slash at Yuka and Michael.
Yuka punched Nobutaka in the face, having Michael to punch him in the stomach, then in the face. Nobutaka then fired his ultrasonic waves from his oral cavity, which damages Michael and Yuka.
Fuji-dori Street
Mari and Keitaro were in the cleaning van delivering laundry, with Takumi riding beside them. The came to a quick stop when they saw Rina and Mihara on their motorcycles, which resulted in all four vehicles to stop.
"Mari-chan, look," Keitaro said to Mari, whose eyes widen when she saw her former classmates.
"Rina… Mihara-kun…" Mari said, as she quickly got out of the car. "Stay here, Keitaro."
Takumi takes off his biker helmet to go talk to the former Ryusei School classmates as well.
"Rina. Mihara-kun. What you two doing here?" Mari asked.
"Ota-kun is dead. He was killed by Masato," Rina told Mari.
"Ota-kun… is dead?" Mari questioned.
"I have to go home…" Mihara said to himself, before being stopped by Takumi.
"Hold on for a moment. Why are you getting all scared. You're an Orphnoch too," Takumi reminded Mihara.
"No… I'm a human!" Mihara responded.
"Look out!" Takumi exclaimed, pushing Mihara out of the way, from one of Kusaka's saw-like swords. All four of the renegade Orphnochs turned to see Kusaka, still transformed as the Shark Orphnoch.
"Kusaka-kun…" Mari softly said.
"Mari… You came back to me!" Kusaka said, as his human form appeared through his shadow.
"I came back to you?! I'm pretty sure it's vice-versa!" Mari shot back.
"Please be careful. Masato is a very powerful Orphnoch," Rina warned Mari.
"I don't care how powerful he is. He's going down just the same," Takumi said, as Keitaro drives the cleaning van at Kusaka, who stops it with one hand.
"Oh, Keitaro. Oh, Keitaro, Keitaro, Keitaro," Kusaka sighed. "I mean you do know I can't die that easily, right? I mean really?"
Kusaka then punches the cleaning van backwards to a pole. Mari and Rina quickly transforms into the Falcon and Stingray Orphnochs, respectively, while Takumi puts on the Delta Belt on his waist, and lifts the Delta Phone near his ear.
Henshin!

Yuka kicks Nobutaka's frilled lizard-like shield from his hand and Michael dodges another slash from Nobutaka's rapier, before siding kicking him, along with Yuka, to the ground. The two then took out their Mission Memories and inserted them into their gadgets. Michael insets the Faiz Pointer, in Kick Mode, on his right Power Ankle, while Yuka's Kaixa Blaygun was converted into Blade Mode. The two soon opened their phones, pressed the enter buttons, and closed them.
Kaixa Gear: Exceed Charge!
Faiz Gear: Exceed Charge!
Yuka fires an energy net at Nobutaka's body, while Michael jumps in the air and extends his legs, which generates a red energy drill on Nobutaka's chest. The two then did their respective attacks, the Crimson Smash and Kaixa Slash, respectively, and enteed Nobutaka's body. The two soon exited from his body, as Nobutaka soon crumbled into ash.
(End Track)
As the two were catching their breath, a fireball was thrown at them, causing an explosion behind them. The two saw that Kitazaki, transformed as the Dragon Orphnoch, had appeared.
(Cue Thrill Injector by VideoHelper; 0:00-0:35, 0:53-1:14)
"Kitazaki!" Michael exclaimed.
"I knew I thought that was almost too easy," Yuka said.
"You two are complete idiots. You took the bait, hook line and sinker," Kitazaki laughed.
"What?!" Michael questioned.
"That Orphnoch was a traitorous Orphnoch. I just forced him to do my bidding. A little payback from him," Kitazaki explained.
"You used an Orphnoch for your own ambitions?! You're even worse that I thought!" Yuka shouted at Kitazaki, getting up from the explosion.
"If you think I'm worse, just wait and see what the president and Kusaka have in store for you," Kitazaki told the two.
"Kusaka?!" Yuka questioned.
"Don't tell me…!" Michael said in realization.
"Now you see me…" Kitazaki said, as he fired another fireball at the two, which they dodged. The next thing Michael and Yuka knew, Kitazaki was gone. "Now you don't."
(End Track)
"We were set up!" Michael exclaimed.
"It's no surprise from Kusaka. Come on!" Yuka said, as the two ran to find Kusaka and stop his plan.
Kanetsu Expressway Irmua River Bridge
The fight against Kusaka was taken under the Kanetsu Expressway Irmua River Bridge. Kusaka was very powerful for Takumi, Mari, and Rina to handle. As Kusaka strikes the three, he turns to see Mihara, hiding behind the bridge in fear.
"Mihara... You really are a coward. Show me your Orphnoch side," Kusaka taunted, as he walked to Mihara, and grabbed him by the throat, raising his left saw-like sword. "Come on... Show me your true form."
Kusaka went to strike at Mihara, the latter quickly transformed into the Sheep Orphnoch, to protect himself form fatatlity.
"Now... It's a fight," Kusaka said in pleasure.
"Kusaka!" Michael cried, as he and Yuka jumped in the air and side kicked Kusaka, which had him stumbled back a bit.
"Help me!" Mihara begged.
"That voice... Mihara?!" Michael questioned.
"You know him?" Yuka asked.
"He's a Ryusei School student," Michael explained, as Yuka turned to Kusaka.
"That's your own classmate! How can you just attack him for your own pleasure?!" Yuka shouted.
"I do what I want, how I want, and when I want," Kusaka responded, walking to the two, with his two saw-like swords.
"Wait! Didn't you say that Mari is the one that can save you?" Michael asked Kusaka, which grabbed Takumi, Mari, and Rina's attention. "You told me that she can save you from drowning into the Orphnoch power. If you can just stop manipulating and be honest... Maybe she'll help you."
"Enough!" Kusaka shouted, as he sped towards Michael ready to slash at him.
"Look out!" Rina cried, jump in front of Michael taking the blow, transforming back into her human state.
"Rina!" Mihara cried, as he charged at Kusaka with his horns.
"That's more like it," Kusaka said, elbowing Mihara in the face, grabbing him by the throat, and punching him into a column.
"Stop it, Kusaka-kun!" Mari cried, as she transformed back into her human state.
"I really do appreciate you trying to return the favor when you came back... But after I realizing who you are now... The Kusaka Masato I knew is gone. But, I'm going to try and see for myself," Mari said, slowly walking to Kusaka.
"Sonoda-san! Don't! He's going to take advantage from you!" Yuka warned Mari.
"Face it. I may not have known him as well as you, but, from the looks of it, Kusaka's gone," Takumi told Mari, who didn't listen to either of them.
"I'm not going to hurt you," Mari said to Kusaka.
"Really?" Kusaka said, as Mari shuts her eyes.
"Hey, Yuka. Isn't that your technique?" Michael asked.
"Yeah. But why does Sonoda know my technique?" Yuka wondered, as Mari was trying to feel Kusaka's humanity. But, when Mari opened her eyes, there was shock.
"I can't find him," Mari said, stepping backwards (Cue End of the World by VideoHelper; 0:00-1:15). "I can't find Kusaka Masato."
"And you can't find your brain!" Kusaka shot back.
"You... You really enjoy your own classmates suffering?" Mari asked.
"Kusaka Masato no longer exists. I am the Orphnoch taking over his body. He's been dead since the moment Yuka took Kaixa from me and received the Break Watch," The Shark Orphnoch said.
"Why do I always have to get blamed for everything when things don't go your way?!" Yuka shouted at the Shark Orphnoch.
"Idiots. Things are going my way right now," The Shark Orphnoch told the four, as Mihara came charging at the Shark Orphnoch. "Coming back for more?"
The Shark Orphnoch jumps in the air, lands on his feet, and slashes Mihara in the back, having him revert to his human state.
"Now... Where was I?" The Shark Orphnoch asked himself, as he jumps towards Mari and punches her in the gut, having her become unconscious.
"Mari!" Michael and Takumi exclaimed in unison.
"Sonoda-san!" Yuka exclaimed.
"You! You really are a pain!" Takumi told the Shark Orphnoch.
"Where's Sawada and Kiba?!" Michael asked the two.
"I tried calling them. They're not answering," Yuka told Michael.
"Same here," Takumi said, as the Shark Orphnoch started to laugh.
"Let's see if I can kill one of you before I take Mari," Kusaka challenged.
(End Track)
"That's far enough, Kusaka," Saeko said in echo, having the battle to stop.
"That voice..." Yuka said, as she turned to see Saeko. "Saeko!"
"What is she doing here?!" Takumi asked Saeko.
"More importantly... How are you here?!" Michael asked, as Saeko snapped her fingers, revealing six men in suit and ties. The six men soon puts on a belt on their waist.
"Henshin!" The six men exclaimed, as pushed over their buckles.
Complete!
The six men then transformed into carpenter ant-like soldiers, with Omicron-like helmets. These were called the Riotroopers.
"What?!" Yuka said in surprise.
"They upgraded their security?!" Takumi asked.
"Now... Let's go!" The fourth Riotrooper said, as all six Riotroopers took out a small blade, called the Axelaygun, and charged at the three heroes, with Sakeo watching.
To Be Continued
This took me longer than I wanted it to take. So, the Riotroopers have arrived. I heard that some fans don't understand why the Riotroopers had 2 episodes before the final battle. I'll try to fix this, as well. Now, let's talk about Kusaka. Yes, I''m going to cnofirm the kind-hearted Kusaka that Mari once knew is dead. If Kusaka had needed Mari's kindness to help him not having his Orphnoch characteristics take control of him, during the series, it would've made Kusaka a bit of a troubled character than what Inoue gave us.
