Stay Alive

We're here now at Chapter 5 of this fic. Again I'll remind you that this will be my last side story fic to Koudoutai: The New Enemy. But

for the first time, I'll be making a Ryu-Megumi fic. But their pairing is just a team-up like they did in the TV series (one involving a hidden

village, and the other about the Collector murders in college where Kuniko Touya studies there before joining DDS). And like those two

cases, Ryu and Megumi will go undercover to apprehend one of the Zodiac members who uses his resources to hatch a plan of his own:

murder by video games.

This fic was inspired by:

1) The recently aired US movie, Stay Alive, where a group of teenagers were killed when their players were killed in the game, they

were killed in real life,

2) The Tokusatsu TV series Kamen Rider Ryuki, where one of the 13 Riders kills his victims through a video game.

Again I'll be basing this fic not only on Stay Alive movie, but also on the TV series, Kamen Rider Ryuki, where one of the Kamen Riders

killed his victims through a video game, and those elements help me inspire in making this fic. And the elements of both the movie and the

Kamen rider TV series will be infused here, but in a different way.

I know you'll be disappointed about Ryu and Megumi not being a couple in this fic, but this fic is connected to my main fic, Koudoutai.

And in that fic, Kyuu and Megumi are already a couple, so I couldn't make Ryu and Megumi a couple in this fic for doing so may cause

confusion among readers. Their team-up as undercover detectives is as close as I can do.

So expect some blood and violence since I'll be basing this fic on the movie Stay Alive, but first, expect the Zodiac to pop out in this fic,

'coz one of them is a master hacker. If you already read Koudoutai: The New Enemy, then you know who's involved in this scam.

Interrogation And Interference

Tokyo Police Station. Jun Shibaura was being questioned by both Officer Tooyama (the father of Kinta of Class Q) and Morihiko Dan

himself, who decided to attend the interrogation to know more about the Zodiac organization. But all the time, Shibaura "innocently"

denied the charges, saying that someone may look just like him that was responsible. But the police brought in two star witnesses: Kyuu

Renjou and Kazuma Narusawa. Both testify that, back at the Konami Computer College, Shibaura disappeared, and in his place was

Ohitsujiza, and that he was typing his laptop, saying that all viruses will be ready to be unleashed. Kyuu and Kazuma maintained their

stand and insisted that it was Shibaura who was responsible for the virus attack, and for using a chip that emits radio waves that affects

the minds of the gamers involved.

After an hour of pointing fingers, everyone's attention were averted, as Suichi Kitaoka, the famed "Super Lawyer", arrived, and

accompanied by Shibaura's father, the president of the Shibaura Computer Firm. The general public were not aware that Kitaoka was

actually To-Rasu (Taurus). Without wasting time, Kitaoka used his knowledge as a lawyer, and managed to rebut all the accusations

hurled against Jun Shibaura.

Things turn for the worse, as another figure appeared. Jun Shibaura. Everyone inside the precinct (Kitaoka and Jun pretended to be

shocked) were shocked that there were two Jun Shibauras. Then a yellow square appeared at the floor, and Metal-Ohitsu appeared, and

grabbed the sitting Jun Shibaura, making it appeared as he was held hostage. "Ahh! Help me, dad!" Jun screamed. The other Jun

Shibaura stepped in and said, "No one comes close, or I kill him.". He then brought out his card deck, with an engraved symbol of a

ram. He said, "Now, who's the real Jun Shibaura now, dad?". Mr. Shibaura was confused as to why there were two Juns. But one of the

officers managed to sneak his way through and shot the Jun Shibaura who was holding the card deck. Metal-Ohitsu then plowed his way

towards Morihiko Dan, but Daisuke and XV-Mon blocked the robot's path and held him off. Morihiko Dan, Kyuu, and Kazuma, along

with Kitaoka and the remaining Jun Shibaura, as well as Mr. Shibaura, were escorted outside the precinct, and the whole police force

remained inside, waiting for the right time to shoot, not wanting to hit XV-Mon in the process. Metal-Ohitsu then rammed through XV-

Mon, and the two behemoths plowed through the wall, and were outside of the precinct, and crashed onto several cars, and a traffic jam

ensued, as passerby's were running from the scene.

Mimi and Koushiro, who were talking about Wallace's seeming recovery, were somewhat surprised, as XV-Mon and Metal-Ohitsu,

who were followed by Daisuke, were fighting back and forth. "Mimi, looks like XV-Mon needs our help." Koushiro said. Mimi agreed

and told Palmon and Tentamon, who were with them, to evolve.

---Start Digimon Evolve Sequence---

Palmon changes…to Togemon!

Tentamon changes…to Kabuterimon!

---End Digimon Evolve Sequence---

Palmon and Kabuterimon joined XV-Mon in dealing with Metal-Ohitsu. But in the course of the battle, a yellow square appeared and

out comes Magnu-Giga. Magnu-Giga opened fire, and a hail of missiles shot right at the three Digimons. When the smoke cleared, the

two Battle Robots disappeared, and all that's left were V-Mon, Tentamon, and Palmon, who were down on the ground, and suffered

deep lacerations and cuts all over their bodies. Daisuke, Mimi and Koushiro tended to them and brought them to Jyou Kido, who runs a

clinic where injured Digimons can be tended.

Back at the police station, everyone were surprised that the corpse of the dead body wasn't actually Jun Shibaura, but that of an

unidentified male, who was wearing an epiderm mask that would match Jun Shibaura's face. Kyuu, Kazuma, and Megumi, who came

late to attend the interrogation, also apologized for the slap. Jun accepted their apologies and and he was soon exonerated from the

charges. Jun told his dad that he'll treat Kitoka for some snack, and advised him to go home. Mr. Shibaura did so, and left. Class Q and

Class C were utterly disappointed, for they've pinned the wrong man, but were relieved that the "Video Game Madness" case was

solved, and that Ohitsujiza, whose card deck was "destroyed" in the melee, was also gone.

At the Shizuoka district, inside Kitaoka's car, Kitaoka and Jun were laughing their hearts out after they've fooled DDS and the police

into thinking that they've got the wrong man. "I have to admit, that trick of yours pulled off nicely. That was brilliant. Oh yeah, here."

Kitaoka handed Jun the real card deck that would enable him to change to Ohitsujiza. Jun said that it was just the tip of the ice berg. He

then said, " That was just the icing, it's the cake that we're about to eat.", as Jun showed him the newspaper about the Japanese Royal

Family. "Time to make ourselves richer. Oh yeah, Futagoza (Gemini) said that he has a plan of putting pressure on DDS.". "Yeah, he

told me that as well. So then, Off to headquarters we go.". And the two Zodiac members went to McDonald's took out some few

snacks and left towards an unknown destination, where their Zodiac base is located.

The End...For now

A/N: Before Jun Shibaura was apprehended (chapter 4), he visited his father, feigning that he was wrong about his decision and begged

for his forgiveness. His father some what did, and the two reconcile. After several hours, he told his dasd that he'll look for a job, saying

that he wants to prove himself to his father's eyes. After leaving, he used his card deck to mesmerized a passerby to pose as Jun

Shibaura by donning an epiderm mask that had Jun Shibaura's face. And under Jun Shibaura's instructions, he lead the auction bid to sell

the "infected" video games. And when Class C arrived, the fake Jun hid himself under the basement of the warehouse while the real Jun

pretended to pass by. And as he had hoped, he was apprehended by Ryu, Megumi, and Class C, along with the Digimons. Kitaoka was

also debriefed about Jun's plans so he called Jun's father and "informed" him that his son was "mistakenly" arrested due to a mistaken

identity. And, under Jun's hypnotic instructions, the fake Jun appeared, carrying a fake card deck with Ohitsujiza's mark, and had Metal-

Ohitsu took the real Jun hostage. The real card deck of Ohitsujiza was in Kitaoka's possession, and through his brainwave patterns,

Ohitsujiza then had the real Jun taken hostage. And as both Kitaoka and Jun predicted, the fake Jun was shot down to prevent him from

commanding Metal-Ohitsu, thinking that the card deck was a remote control used to move Metal-Ohitsu. There the police noticed that

the hole on the fake Jun's head has a ripped portion on the face, indicating it to be an epiderm mask, and realized that it wasn't Jun, but

an unidentified person who was posing as Jun Shibaura. Hence, the police had no choice but to drop the charges as they believed that

Jun Shibaura was framed for the various crimes. The police and DDS were not aware of this deception.

Author's Words:

That was long…and that's that. Hope you like this fic. It was physically and mentally exhausting. I really am. But I put all my hard work

on this and the other side story fics. But it's not the end yet, as the Zodiac are brewing up something diabolical. They know now that

DDS is awakened again and is part of CLAMP School, and, ironically, CLAMP School was also one of the Zodiac's targets.

So what's next?

First, read the main DSQ fic, Koudoutai: The New Enemy. That's were the whole

Zodiac thing started, and there you'll get to know the enemy. Read and review it, and

believe me, you'll like it.

Second, read Fallen Angel, which can be found on Digimon. Mimi is marked by the

Zodiac for her interference, and for aiding DDS. A member of the Zodiac makes her

debut here.

Third, go to Read Or Die (ROD The TV for anime lovers), 'coz the Zodiac goes to

Scotland, and Yumiko and the Paper Sisters are joined by the Digimon crew in stopping

the Zodiac. The fic title is called The Book Of Immortality.

Fourth, Go to CLAMP School, under the title, CLAMP School meets Dan Detective

School. Principal Dan meets with the head of CLAMP School to discuss the possible

joint partnership between the two schools. Two of the unseen Zodiac members makes

their appearance here.

And lastly, back here at Detective School Q, under the title, My Brother's Keeper. Here

Principal Dan tells his students about his younger brother about how and why they had a

falling out during their younger years. And there you'll get to see how Sasoriza (Scorpio)

was born, and how he joined the Zodiac.

And now…

I'll be off for as few weeks, or maybe, the entire month, as I'll be going full blast. I'll be

focusing on writing part 2 of Koudoutai: The New Enemy (in other words, it's a sequel).

There the remaining unseen members of the Zodiac will make their Detective School Q

debuts, and they'll be giving Class Q, A and C, as well as the Digimons a hard time, and

the cast of CLAMP School and ROD The TV will be embroiled into the mix as well. And

there will be some surprises when the sequel comes out.

As for when it will come out, it will be sometime next month. What will it be like? I can't

divulge it yet, as I managed to complete chapters 1-3 of that fic, and is subject to

corrections. But once I've finished correcting the first three chapters, and when I get

sufficient reviews on Koudoutai and the rest of the Koudoutai side stories, then I'll

consider uploading it.

Until then, review for this fic are welcomed. For Ryu and Megumi pairing fans, don't be

too harsh on me.

Other than that, Enjoy this fic.
