Senran Kagura: The Multi-King

Chapter 8: The Bombs, the Past, & the Scorching Combo

Yuuma looks around, and saw that he, Ankh, Asuka, and friends/classmates, and saw that he is in a dark room.

"Oi! Girl, where did you take us?!" Ankh exclaimed at Asuka, before he turns to Yuuma. "You should have let me, eliminated her when I had the chance, Yuuma!"

"Ankh just calm down, please. Just let me handle this." Yuuma told him, which made Ankh scoffed as he turn away from Yuuma. "Also Asuka-chan, where am I, why did you and your friends kidnap me and Ankh?"

"I'm really sorry about Yuuma-kun, but this was the best I can do to make sure that you won't get hurt." Asuka said with her hands clapped in front of her.

"Wait, don't tell me…" Yuuma slowly realized, before saying. "Are you and your friends; are members of a mafia gang?"

Asuka and her friends, slightly tripped, after he said that, and soon regain their balance.

"No, we aren't a part of some gang…" Asuka said, before she turns to Ikaruga, which was a signal if she should tell him that their ninjas and she nodded to Asuka, telling her that it is allowed, Asuka breaths in and out before looking at Yuuma. "Okay, the truth that me, and my friends…Are…"

Before she could finish, a smoke bomb exploded. It made them cough, as the girls' fans it away, but when the smoke fades away, Kiriya was now in the room, which shocks the girls.

"Kiriya-sensei?!" They said, before they gotten in front of Yuuma and Ankh from their teacher's sight.

"Kiriya?" Yuuma said, while blinking.

"Why are you here, sensei?" Ikaruga asked, while trying to keep her cool.

"Well that should be my line. I usually, come here, to work on the training equipment. So care to explained, why you five are here in a Sunday?" Kiriya asked, Yuuma recognizes his voice.

"W-Well you see…" Ikaruga started, while thinking of what to do now.

"Kiriry-san!" Yuuma called out, Kiriya blinked, and the girls flinched when he did. "Kiriya-san, is that you?!"

The girls blinked, when Yuuma said that, before they turned to him, and Kiriya got a good look between them, and saw Yuuma and Ankh.

"Yuuma?" Kiriya said while blinking, which made the girls blinked in confusion that their teacher knows Yuuma.

(Cue Anything Goes by Maki Ohguro)

(You count the Medals: 1, 2 and 3 Life goes on, Anything Goes, Coming up OOO!) We start seeing the screen replaced with a rocky surface and the Taka Medal is on it followed by the Tora and Batta Medals. We then move to see OOO with a magnifier glass on him. As it goes on OOO, we see OOO with different parts. Finally, we see OOO in his default form posing behind the Tatoba symbol.

(Instrumental) A Cell Medal is flipped through the air by Yuuma as he soon catches it. He inserts the Medal in the Ride Vendor before allowing it to transform into a bike. Yuuma, as OOO, drives the bike down the street as the title appears.

(Inranai motanai yume mo minai FUREE na joutai sore me ii kedo {Kokkara hajimaru The show we're waiting for Count the Medals: 1, 2 and 3}) We then see Yuuma wandering a desert carrying his underwear tied to a stick, then changes to Asuka walking through a forest, and changes to Ankh was walking on a roof in the city. Yuuma placed his stick on the ground and relaxes while on the ground as Ankh (As an arm) flies around the screen before showing the Taka, Tora, and Batta Medals.

(Unmei wa kimi hottokanai kekkyoku wa susumu shika nai {Michi naru tenkai Give me energy Count the Medals: 1, 2 and 3}) Yuuma relaxes but gets up as he notices the Taka Medal and picks it up. Asuka notices the Tora Medal and picks it up while Ankh picks up the Batta Medal. The three stand back to back with their Medals as Ankh's arm files around the screen again before showing the three Core Medals again.

(Daijobu! Ashita wa itsudatte Blank!) The Greeed are showing placing their colored sheets on the beach as they appear relax. Asuka runs after Ankh but a red curtain gets in between them. Asuka tears it down to find Ankh gone.

(Jibun no kachi wa jibun de kimeru mono saa!) Ankh grabs a bunch of Cell Medals and looks at them while Yuuma stares at him. Yuuma looks at the Medals in his hand as Asuka looks at him. Yuuma soon uses the O-Scanner to scan the Taka, Tora, and Batta in his Driver.

"Henshin!" Yuuma says before transforming.

(OOO! OOO! OOO! OOO! COME ON!) We see OOO posing, then appearing in this chapter, then appearing on his Ride Vendor, and them him attacking. We then see him on the desert where he raises his arm out and several Medals burst out of the ground.

(Anything goes! Sono kokoro ga atsuku naru mono!) OOO drives his bike and the next thing we see are the Tatoba Medals appearing on Yuuma's hand with a smile. We then see him transforming into OOO. We then get a close up on his helmet.

(Mitasareru mono wo sagashite!) We see the Hanzo students on one side of a Taka Cell Medal, and the Serpent Academy students on the other side of the Cell Medal, between them are Hanzo, Kiriya, and Suzune.

(Life goes on! Honki dashite Tataku no Nara!) OOO gets his Tora claws out before charging. We then see OOO driving his bike being followed by several Taka and Tako Candroids, the Tako Candroids then form a ramp that OOO drives on which made him fly to the air with the Taka Candroids. Asuka hugs the red curtain; hugging Ankh from behind, Ankh then made a somewhat sad face.

(Maker ki shinai hazu!) We see the rest of the Greeed, including Poseidon, in front of their respective curtains. OOO gets the Medajalibur, charges it with three Cell Medals, and slashes the ground. As he slashed the ground, Medals burst from the ground and the song ends with the Tatoba Medals appearing from the ground to the screen.

Kiriya walks past the girls, before they move from his path. He soon brought out a kunai, and cuts Yuuma's ropes that was bounding him to the chair first.

"Well this is certainly a surprised. I didn't imagine I meet you again here." Kiriya said, before Yuuma stood up from his chair while massaging his wrists.

"Same with me too." Yuuma said, before he looks around in the room they were in. "Does that mean, I'm in one of those ninja schools you told me about?"

The girls blinked in surprised that Yuuma, knows about that.

"Yes that's right, we're in Hanzo Academy." Kiriya told him, before he turns to his students. "By the way girls, care to explained, on why Yuuma's here?"

"Wait hold up!" Katsuragi said before pointing to Kiriya and Yuuma. "Before we do that! How about you explained on how you know this guy, and how he knows about us ninjas?!"

"Yes, I want to know as well." Ikaruga said.

"Hmm…Well I think it's pretty obvious, Yuuma here already knows about the ninja world." Kirirya stated.

"Eh?!" The girls gasped.

"Maybe this is best that we explains things somewhere else, and you girls will explain first on why he's here." Kiriya told them, which they nodded.

"Hai, sensai." They said.

"Ahem!" Yuuma and Kiriya turns back to Ankh still bound to his chair. "Care to cut me lose too?"

"Yuuma, whose this?" Kiriya asked.

"His name is Ankh, also don't worry, Kiriya-san, he won't be any trouble, I'll make sure of it." Yuuma told him.

Kiriya sighed, before he folded his arms.

"Alright, fine. But I expect that you will explain things as well." Kiriya told him.

"Hai…" Yuuma said with his head slightly lowered.

Yuuma, Kiriya, and the girls, move to the main room of their classroom, now sited on the floor, first it was Yuuma that explained things.

About his meeting of Ankh, him as OOO that has been appearing around town, fighting the creatures he told Kiriya that are called the Greeeds and Yummys. Most people wouldn't believe it without seeing first, but Kiriya experience as a ninja, he was willing to believe it.

Then Asuka explains things next, on how he met Yuuma, Ankh, and saw Yuuma transformed as OOO, and saw firsthand of the Greeeds, and Yummies are capable of, and about how Ankh possesses her cousin Shingo's body.

Then yesterday last night, Asuka decided to tell the others about it, they were skeptical about it at first, but knowing Asuka isn't the kind of person to make these kinds of things up, they believe her. She told them that she wanted to help Yuuma somehow, and asked them if they're willing to help as well, which they told her that she didn't have to ask.

Ikaruga said, that they need to first determine if Yuuma isn't any kind of threat first, and had made a plan, since today was Sunday; they thought that Kiriya won't be around, so they decided to kidnap both Yuuma and Ankh, to tell them their status as ninjas, and to ask Yuuma if he is a danger or not.

"I see now…" Kiriya said as he nods in understanding. "I understand the situation here."

"Yeah, I'm really sorry for keeping this a secret sensei." Asuka bows her head. "It's just that I wasn't sure, if Shingo's body won't be in any danger, from the ninja society, if he ever wakes up."

"Don't worry Asuka." Kiriya places his hand on her shoulder and gave her assure smile. "I understand that Shingo-kun is very important to you, so I'll make sure, that nothing happens when he's free from this Ankh."

"Thank you sensei…" Asuka said, with tears forming on the edge of her eyes.

"But still," Kiriya said, before looks to Yuuma. "Imagine my surprised to learn that you're this Kamen Rider that's been appearing around town, this past moth."

"Yeah well, imagine my surprised, to learn Asuka is a ninja, she seem like a regular girl to me." Yuuma said.

Asuka chuckles as she rubs the back of her head.

"Well you shouldn't judge a book by its covers, Yuuma. Especially towards us ninjas." Kiriya told him. "Also by the way, you said you've been a Rider for a while now, is that correct?"

"Yes," Yuuma nodded. "Why did you ask?"

"I want to ask, do you know any of the other Kamen Riders, and know how to contact them?" Kiriya asked.

"Well, like I said I've only been a Rider, for a month now, so I don't know any of the others, I only met this one Rider, during a deliver job to Fuuto, and help him, that was about it, he and I were just too busy to know each other better." Yuuma explained, while rubbing the back of his head.

"I see…" Kiriya nodded. "Well, I guess there's nothing to do about that."

"But I do think there's something that we all have in common." Yuuma said, getting everyone's attention except Ankh. "Is that, we always help people that are in trouble, no matter who they are, and what they did…Like how I always want to reach out my hand, if there is a hand reaching out for help. That's what I want to believe anyway."

"Well I have to say, that is a good saying there." Kiriya said.

"Also sensei," Ikaruga got his attention. "You still hadn't mention, on how you and Yuuma Hino, know each other."

"Well…" Kiriya eyed Yuuma, who looks a little sad for some reason after she said that. "It's confidential, but we met about a year ago, in a mission I was on."

"How confidential? I'm really curious about it." Katsuragi said, with a smile on her face.

"Katsuragi stop." Ikaruga told her, before she whispers to her ear. "If sensei said it's confidential, then it's probably something that was personal to Hino."

"I know, but I can't help but be curious." Katsuragi whispers back.

"Well save it okay, you shouldn't pry in someone's personal past." Ikaruga told her.

"Oh okay…" Katsuragi said with a pouting face.

"Well anyway, Yuuma-kun." Asuka got his attention. "Do you remember what I said, that you won't take the job at Cous Coussier because you don't want me to deal with him." She finished before she and Yuuma turns to Ankh, who was leaning on the wall.

"Yeah…" Yuuma mutters.

"Then you shouldn't worry about that." Asuka said, before she stood up, and then walks to Ankh.

"What do you want, girl?" Ankh asked, as she stares at him with a serious look in them, which annoys him, which made him scoffed. "You really are starting to annoy me!"

Ankh brought out his Greeed Arm, and attacks Asuka with it, Yuuma was about to go in and stop him. Asuka easily parried his attack, grabs Ankh's arm, and soon pin him to the ground.

"You shouldn't underestimate me, both of you. I am a ninja, so I can take care of myself." Asuka said, before she turns to Yuuma. "So please, work in my Aunt's restaurant. So that way I can keep an eye on him as well."

Yuuma sighed, before he made a smile and stood up, and walks to Asuka, before she let's go of Ankh.

"Alright, you win. I gladly work in Cous Coussier with you and Chiyoko-san." Yuuma said, before he reaches out for a handshake, which Asuka shakes, this made Ankh clicks his tongue annoyance about this.

"So sensei," Asuka looks to Kiriya. "Can you please allow me to watch over both Yuuma and Ankh, please?"

"And allow me and the others to help as well." Ikaruga requested.

"Yeah I want to help too." Katsuragi said.

"Me too!" Hibari said.

"If Hibari is going to do it, then I want to assist as well." Yagyu said.

"Hmm…" Kiriya thought about it, and soon made his decision. "Alright, if you girls want to do this, then I'll allow it."

Some of them cheered, and some smiled, after he said that.

This made Ankh even more annoyed now, knowing that these people will be keeping their eyes on him.

(Next day)

After they're talk in Hanzo Academy, Asuka, brought Yuuma and Ankh to Cous Coussier, and soon talk to Chiyoko. Yuuma told her that he will accept the job, if it's still open for him; Chiyoko says that it is, and is happy to hear that he will accept the job.

Yuuma requested if Ankh will stay with him in the spare room, Chiyoko says that it's no problem.

The screen slowly moves to the doors of Cous Coussier, and slowly the doors open revealing three figures, who slowly turned around, revealing themselves as Chiyoko, Yuuma, and Asuka, then the lights turns, revealing that their wearing stars and blue and red strip, outfits.

Yuuma was wearing a suit with a red top hot, with a blue strip around it, with stars on it.

Asuka was wearing a blue and red kimono with stars on it, with the belt being white, with blue and red stars.

Chiyoko is wearing, a formal shirt that was blue, and a red skirt with white stars on it.

The decorations in the restaurant are based of the holyday.

"Happy 4th of July!" They said in the same time, as a welcoming the customers in.

"Happy 4th of July!" The customers said some wearing regular kimonos.

"Any customers who are wearing summer kimonos get a free special drink!" Chiyoko told them.

Yuuma and Asuka then fire confetti cannon, as another way to welcome them in.

Ankh is in the spare room, of Cous Coussier, lying on top of the bunk bed, while eating a Popsicle.

"This place is cramped…But at least I have somewhere to sleep now." Ankh said.

Then Asuka come into the room, and then she and Ankh turn to each other in the same time.

Asuka then grabs the Popsicle out of his hand.

"Hey!" Ankh exclaimed as Asuka for taking his meal.

"Shingo's body isn't going to heal if you don't eat anything but ice cream! Not to mention you'll probably give him diabetes too." Asuka told the Greeed, as he was about to take a bite of the Popsicle, before Asuka pulls it away. "Remember, I made it my personal mission of protecting his body while you're borrowing it."

Asuka then damps it into a glass jug of water. Asuka walks back to Ankh, and pulls him off the bed and drags him out of the room, by pulling his ear.

"Ow! Dammit, that hurts!" Ankh exclaimed as he was being drag. "Hey let me go!"

Back in the main room of the restaurant, some of the customers, cheers and slam their cups of the free special drink, before they begin drinking them.

Asuka walks to Ankh with a tray of real cook food for him, who was sited, by a table, before Asuka brought his food on the table.

"Here, eat this instead. Poultry is Shingo's favorite, so enjoy." Asuka told the Greeed before she left to attend to another customer.

"A…bird…" Ankh said, as his eye twitches as he stares at the cook bird, of not liking the idea of eating the cook bird, because of him being a bird Greeed.

"Looks like you can't stand up to Asuka-chan, Ankh." Yuuma said with a smug look on his face, before he walks to Ankh's side.

"Huh!" Ankh turns away from Yuuma. "Once I'm completely restored…" Ankh brought out his Greeed Arm. "She'll be the first thing I consume!"

Yuuma eyes widen when he saw his Greeed Arm, and saw he was about to give Asuka a piece of his mind, before he stood up, but Yuuma got in his way, and grabs his arm.

"Whoa, hang on a sec!" Yuuma told him.

"Let me go!" Ankh exclaimed.

"Cut it out!" Yuuma told him.

"Oh my!" They turned when Chiyoko walks to them, and looks at Ankh's arm examining it. "Ankh-chan, this thing is amazing."

"Chan?" Ankh said.

"I really wanted to go for professional looking stuff, so it's perfect." Chiyoko told the Greeed, as she places a red top hat on Ankh's head. "Come down to the restaurant whenever you want, okay? It'll be fine!"

Chiyoko then leaves the two men, to attend to other customers.

"Thanks." Yuuma told his boss, before Ankh grabs him on the neck.

"Hey! Care to explain why that woman treated me like I have special needs!" Ankh demanded.

"Oh…Well I had to tell Chiyoko-san about you." Yuuma told him, which made Ankh, wonders what he told Chiyoko about him. "I told her you're rude because you had such a bad upbringing, and that you're a young man from a foreign country, who was practically a shut in, and that's your origin."

"Are you mocking me?!" Ankh exclaimed at Yuuma.

"Just deal with it! It's more convenient for you to live here too, right?" Yuuma asked.

"Listen, Yuuma…" Ankh started, before a customer called to Yuuma.

"Excuse me!"

"Coming!" Yuuma said before he heads to the customer.

Ankh growls in anger, as he took his hat off and throws it to the ground. He then sits back down on the table, and reluctantly picks the cook bird up with his hand, and took a bite of it. As he was chewing, he looks up and to his surprised it was Satonaka wearing a kimono with a briefcase in her hand.

"Aren't you Kougami's…?" Ankh mutters sounding a little startled, before he puts his food down. "Why are you here?"

"Regarding the ten Cell Medals that were loaned to Yuuma Hino the other day…" Satonaka said while walking towards Ankh. "I've been told by Kougami-san to retrieve them."

"Huh…Fine, as soon as we beat the next Yummy." Ankh said.

"I understand…" Satonaka said, before she puts the brief case down, and did some calculations on her calculator. "But please note that there will be an applied daily interest of 10%."

This got Ankh's attention, having to choice, he reluctantly slams his Greeed Arm to the table, and place 10 Cell Medals on it.

Satonaka opens her brief case, and puts her calculator and the Cell Medals in it.

"Thank you for your cooperation, oh and before I go, here." Satonaka said, before she brought out a black case and handed to Ankh. "Kougami-san wanted me to give this to you, a present for your one month anniversary of your contract."

Ankh took the case out of her hand. It was color black, with a blue coming down in the middle, with a circle in the center.

"What is this?" Ankh asked, before he opens the case, and saw it has circle shape holders, that would hold the Medals.

"It's a specialized case that Kougami had commission to create, he name it the O Medal Holder. He figures now that you have more Core Medals, that you may have to found a way to keep a few of them safe, rather to keep all of them inside of you." Satonaka explained.

"Hmph…Well tell him, he won't expect any thanks from me for this." Ankh said before he close the Medal Holder.

"Will do, now with that done. If you'll excuse me." Satonaka said, before she leaves.

As she was gone, Ankh growls in pain, while mending to his Greeed Arm.

"These filthy, stinking humans…" Ankh mutters, as he tries to stand up, before he lost his footing and leans on a wall to support himself. "Dammit, I gave away too many Medals at once! I feel so weak…"

Ankh then heads to his room to rest.

(Meanwhile somewhere else)

Someone is seen placing some sort of device under a car, after he was done, he brought out a notebook, in it were the car's design, and other notes. As he was reading the device under the car begins to count down, then the man soon left in a hurry.

(Back at Cous Coussier)

Yuuma and Asuka, leads two customers to a different area of the room, and stand by their sides, standing in front of Chiyoko with a camera ready to take of picture of the,

"Say cheese!" Chiyoko told them, before she took the picture, and when it come out, she then gave it to the customers. "Here you go, something to remember the occasion."

"Thank you very much."

Then suddenly they all heard some sort of loud boom, and the room begins to shake a little, which made Yuuma grab onto Asuka's shoulders.

"What the? Was that an earthquake?" Chiyoko wonders.

Yuuma had an alarm look on his face as if he heard that kind of sound before, which Asuka notices.

"Yuuma-kun, what's wrong?" Asuka asked.

Yuuma didn't answers, as he heads to the door, and run outside, to the source of the boom.

Ikaruga, along with the Hanzo ninja students decided to Cous Coussier, to check in with Asuka, and Yuuma. But on their way there they soon heard the same boom that shook the restaurant, which made Katsuragi plug her ears with her fingers, and Hibari to cover her ears, with Yagyu holding on to her to protect her.

"Okay, what was that?" Katsuragi wonders, before she removes her fingers from her ears.

"I don't know but it sounded not too far from here." Ikaruga said.

Hibari then saw Yuuma running down to the street.

"Hey guys look!" Hibari told them before she pointed to Yuuma, which made them look and saw Yuuma.

"Hino? Where is he going?" Ikaruga said.

"I think he's heading to the source of that boom." Yagyu said.

"Yuuma-kun! Wait!" They soon saw Asuka following behind him.

"And it looks like Asuka is following him." Katsuragi said.

"Then we better go as well." Ikaruga said, before she follows Yuuma and Asuka, and soon the others follow as well.

They soon arrived at the source of the boom, and saw a group of people looking at the wreckage of what seem to be a blown up car.

Yuuma walks to it to have a closer look at it, and the girls followed behind him.

"Dang…" Katsuragi said.

"Was it some sort of accident?" Asuka wonders.

"If so I hope no one got hurt." Hibari said.

"No…" Yuuma mutters, which made the girls, turn to him. "That sound from before was…"

Yuuma then heard a digital ticking sound, under another car.

"We need to get everyone away from here." Yuuma stated, as the device was since under the car counts down to 9. "Everyone! Get away now! Hurry! You girls help too!"

Yuuma begins pushing the crowd away from the car, the girls wonder what was wrong with, but having no time to ask because of his expression, they decided to help to move the civilians away, as the device hits zero, then the car exploded, but was strange that the explosion was made out of water, but was strong enough to destroy the war, which sends everyone to the ground, as they got a little wet.

Yuuma soon got up but had a horrified look on his face, when he saw the destroyed car, before he notices that his clothes were wet.

"Water?" Yuuma said, before he grabs Asuka's shoulders. "Are you okay, Asuka-chan?"

Asuka nodded, and Yuuma looks to the other girls.

"You girls okay too?" Yuuma asked.

"Yeah, I'm fine…A-A-Achoo!" Katsuragi sneezed, before she shivers a little, of feeling the cold water of her soaked clothes.

"Oh no, I got all wet." Hibari said, as she felt that both her clothes and hair wet.

"What was that?" Asuka wonders.

"A bomb." Yuuma said, as he slow looks back at the car. "Someone planted a bomb here."

"Eh?" Asuka said sounding little scared as she looks around wondering if there are any more bombs around.

"Wait, how would you know that?" Ikaruga asked.

Yuuma didn't answer as he looks around the area, until he soon saw a man hiding behind a tree.

He had black hair with a white streak on the front, and black eyes under glasses, and is wearing a suit, and is strangely holding a doll wearing all white clothing that is sitting on his arm, have its eyes were looking up.

Yuuma wonders who that man is, and wonders if he was the one who planted bombs, before he saw the strange man looking at a Cell Medal in his hand, before he puts it away.

Yuuma was about to run up to that man to question him, before a Batta Candroid jumps onto his shoulder.

"Yuuma, there's a Yummy nearby." Ankh said through the Candroid.

"Eh?" Yuuma said as he looks around.

"I'm sending over a few Taka Cans, so follow their lead." Ankh said, before the Batta Candroid jumps off his shoulder.

Yuuma and the girls soon spotted the Taka Candroids that Ankh sent, before they head to the destination of the Yummy.

Yuuma turned back to where he spotted the strange man, but having not time to question him, decided to follow behind the Taka Candroids, to deal with the Yummy first.

"Yuuma-kun, wait!" Asuka soon follows behind him.

"Come on, everyone after them." Ikaruga said, as she follows as well, and soon the others as well.

"Come on?! Do we have to? Can't we get change first? Achoo!" Katsuragi said, before she sneezed.

As they left the strange man with the doll had watched them leave, and soon leaves as well.

As Yuuma and the girls was running, Poseidon had been watching them above a building, and soon follows them as well, by jumping to roof top to roof top, and something else was watching and following them as well in the shadows.

(With Ankh)

Ankh roughly lay down on his bed, and was still in pain after giving up the ten Cell Medals.

"Damn it! Dealing with that interest might have been a better idea…" Ankh mutters, as he begins to toss and turn.

(Back with Yuuma and the girls)

Yuuma and the girls followed the Taka Candroids, to a bridge of the city. They look around for the Yummy, and Yuuma saw it first, it had a shark's fin and is swimming in the ground like it was in water, which shocked the girls, before the Yummy jumps out from the ground revealing itself as the Same Yummy, heading to Yuuma and the girls, and they quickly got out of it's way.

"A Yummy?" Yuuma said.

"So that's a Yummy?" Ikaruga said, as she and the others kept their eyes on it.

Yuuma soon brought out the OOO-Driver and puts it on, and soon inserts the Core Medals, and scanned the Medals.

"Henshin!" Yuuma shouted.

"TAKA!"

"TORA!"

"BATTA!"

"TATOBA! TA-TO-BA! TATOBA!"

Yuuma soon transformed into OOO, and Ikaruga, Katsuragi and Hibari, were surprised by his transformation, seeing it for the first time.

"Man I have to say that armor is pretty cool, and the song was not bad either…A-Achoo!" Katsuragi said, before she sneezed again.

"Hold it!" OOO soon jumps onto the Yummy's fin, as it soon drags OOO as it swims in the ground, as OOO tries to stop it and pulls it out. "Stop!"

OOO begins to lose his grip and rolls on the ground.

"He's a fast one!" OOO said as he stood back up.

The Same Yummy soon jumps out from the ground and fires balls of water at OOO, which sends him to the ground again, before the Yummy dives back into the ground.

"Yuuma-kun!" Asuka was about to go and help him.

"Stay back! Just let me do handle this!" OOO told her and the others, before he started have a realize nation about the Yummy's attack. "Isn't this…"

OOO remembers that huge water bomb explosion of that car, and sees the similarity of the two.

"It's similar…" OOO realized, before he saw in time to dodge the Same Yummy's attack, by rolling backwards, and parried a punch from the Yummy, and counters punches it to the ground, and soon jumps over it and picks the Same Yummy up, and kicks it two times, and punches it on the chest, before he parried a punch from the Yummy, and turns it around with him, and punches the Same Yummy away which also made spill out a small amout of Cell Medals.

The Same Yummy went into the ground to escape.

"Wait, hold it!" OOO said, before he brought out a Cell Medal and looks around for a nearby Ride Vendor. "Vending machine, vending machine…"

"Uhm…Yuuma-kun…" Asuka got his attention before she pointed to where the Yummy was, he look and saw that it was now gone.

"Oh no…" OOO sighed as he lowered his arm. "It got away…"

OOO walks to the Yummy's Cell Medals that it spilled out, and saw that there only four of them, before picks them up.

"This is all there is…?" OOO said, as he picks them up.

After the Yummy got away, and after OOO picks up the Cell Medals, Yuuma decided to head back to Cous Coussier, while the girls decided to head to Hanzo Academy to wash up in warm water and to dry their clothes.

Ankh was holding the four Cell Medals with his Greeed Arm.

"Well, this is better than nothing." Ankh said, before he absorbs the Medals, and as Yuuma sits on a nearby chair in the room. "So…Regarding the Yummy that escaped…it was definitely one of Mezool's.

"Mezool…You mean the one that builds a nest?" Yuuma said.

"Yeah, inside the nest, they grow by feeding on the desires of the human that spawned them." Ankh said, with him and Yuuma recalling the events of the Piranha Yummy. "I doubt there's only one this time, again. This'll be a chance to rack up some Cell Medals, when we find the lair."

"Unless we find the lair that means there'll just be more and more Yummies…If only we had some clue…" Yuuma stated before he concluded something. "That's it!"

Yuuma soon stands up and looks at Ankh.

"Something was bothering me." Yuuma told Ankh.

"What is it?" Ankh asked.

"The explosions that the Yummy caused and the one on the street earlier were similar." Yuuma answered, remember his fight against the Same Yummy, and the explosion of the car. "The feelings Yummies feed off of…it's the desire for stuff like food or material possessions right? But what if it was something like desiring to set off a bomb…"

"Yeah. A desire for destruction…That's a perfectly fine desire." Ankh said agreeing with the logic Yuuma had told him.

(In the Greeeds' hideout)

Uva is seen knocking some glass bottles down, while Mezool and Gamel were doing cat's cradle. Mezool senses one of her Yummies in the room, and she and Gamel turns to the Yummy that was swimming in the ceiling.

"Here it is." Mezool said. "Welcome home, my child. Now, let's all enjoy ourselves."

The Same Yummy drops out from the ceiling, as Mezool and Gamel transform into their Greeed forms, before the Yummy stood up and turn into a pile of Cell Medals.

Gamel picks up a handful of Cell Medals.

"Time to eat!" Gamel said, before he drops the Medals into his mouth, absorbing them, and started to glow. "Feels good!"

"Really? I'm glad to hear it." Mezool said, happy that Gamel is pleased, as Uva walks behind them. "Where's Kazari, and Poseidon?"

"Who knows, they wandered off earlier." Uva answered. "I guess Kazari was probably shocked because OOO had another one of his Core Medals."

"Just imagine if he never came back…" Mezool stated, as Gamel picks up a few more Cell Medals.

"Why wouldn't he?" Uva asked, wondering why she said that.

"It's just a hunch." Mezool told him.

(With Kazari)

Kazari in his human form is standing in the middle of town, wondering why OOO had another of his Core Medals.

'Where did OOO get one of my Medals from?' Kazari thought. 'Especially considering it wasn't one he took from me…Something's strange here. Someone else must be involved with gathering the Medal, other than us…Then at that rate, before we're completely restored…We'll be finished.'

(At Hanzo Academy)

The girls got done having a nice hot bath, and are now dressed in bath robes, and some wear towels wrap around their heads to dry their hair.

"Man nothing beats a nice hot bath…" Katsuragi said as she dries her hair with a blow dryer.

"How am I doing Hibari?" Yagyu asked, as she dries Hibari's hair with a towel.

"It feels nice Yagyu-chan." Hibari said.

Ikaruga and Asuka were talking with Kiriya telling about the incident and the battle of OOO's against the Yummy.

"I see." Kiriya said. "I wonder if the two are connected in some way."

"Also sensei, when we got there, Hino somehow heard the bomb under the car, and soon realized what it was, almost as if he experience something like that before." Ikaruga told him.

"Not only that, there was a look in his face, something that somehow made him relive some sort of awful memory." Asuka said.

"Is that so…" Kiriya said.

"You know what that is about don't you sensei." Asuka said. "It has something to do on how you and Yuuma-kun first met do it."

"Yes I agree with Asuka. Sensei we're a part of his life now, and we need to learn more about him." Ikaruga said.

"Guess it can't be help now." Kiriya sighed, before he stood up.

"You see it happen around a year ago." Kiriya said, before he turns around, as he explains.

(Flashback)

Yuuma was seen walking into a small village, in Africa.

"In one of Yuuma's travels, he stayed in a small village in Africa. He decided to stay for a while, to help the village, you see Yuuma is actually a son of a politician, so he used some of that resource to help the village expend." Kiriya explains.

Yuuma encounters a little girl, who walks in front of him, and gave him a half of an apple, which he gratefully accepts.

"But that's until, the village he was staying got in the middle in a cross fire of a civil war." Kiriya said.

Yuuma runs into the village as explosions happen around him, while searching for people that are in need of help. He then spotted the girl who gave him the apple, and soon befriended, was crying.

"He decided to help to evacuate the people, but he wasn't able to save all of them." Kiriya said.

Yuuma goes in to rescue her, he runs to her and reach out his hand, but was too late, as she got in a missile explosion, which blows him away. When he got up he soon saw that the girl was now gone, there was nothing left but a crater and her shoe that is covered by small amounts of her blood.

Seeing that, Yuuma fallen on his knees and soon screams in despair being unable to save that girl.

(End of flashback)

"Yuuma found a bomb shelter and gone inside with the other villagers, they spent a few days but soon begin to run low on food and water, until one of the warlords of the civil war found them. They were about to kill the villages inside, until Yuuma gave himself up and told him about his status of a son of a politician and have a large amount of money. He told the warlord that he can have it if he leaves the villagers alone, he accepted he made his men take Yuuma away, but sadly he was no man of his word and killed the villagers anyway." Kiriya said which shocked and surprised the girls.

"Soon after that, Yuuma has now been captive for ransom, and the warlord told his father if he didn't pay, he'll kill Yuuma by sending him back in pieces. But Yuuma's father didn't have any intention to negotiate with terrorists, so he used his connections to hire a task force of ninjas to save him. I was a member of that very taskforce." Kiriya told them.

"So that's how the two of you met?" Asuka asked.

"Yes," Kiriya nodded. "We succeeded on our mission, and we turned in the warlord along with his men to the proper authorities, after that we escorted Yuuma to a place to meet up with his grandfather, and soon after that however, his father soon used the incident to further increase his public support for more political platform."

"What you got to be kidding me?!" Katsuragi exclaimed. "I mean his son just got kidnap for ransom, but that guy used that incident just to have more support? Glad I wasn't born as a child of politics."

"Well I don't blame you for being that way, me and the others in the taskforce felt the same way." Kiriya said. "But anyway, I think that Yuuma still feels regret of what happen, and still hadn't fully recovered from it. So I guess now that he is the power to save lives, he won't hesitate to keep risking his life for that very reason."

Asuka looks a little sadden after hearing the story, and felt sorry for Yuuma after hearing that.

'I see…So that's why he's so willing to protect and save anyone, even if his risking his life.' Asuka thought.

(Later at night)

The man who planted the bombs under the cars, was now seen planting more bombs on the pillars of a bridge, and soon gone through his calculations of the bridge for his bombs explosion power, he soon pressed the button to start one of the bombs timer, he then got on his bicycle and peddles away.

Then in somewhere else, the Same Yummy nest was seen place in a high area, and one of them in its eggs begin to fully grow slowly, as the bomber's desire grows stronger.

(Next day)

At Cous Coussier, Yuuma and Chiyoko were putting the decorations from their Fourth of July theme in boxes, to store them away.

Then Asuka soon come inside.

"Oh Asuka-chan, your class is over already?" Chiyoko asked.

"There was another explosion, near my school!" Asuka told them, which made Yuuma's eyes widen.

Yuuma and Asuka soon arrived where the explosion happen, and it was the bridge pillars where the bomber placed and armed his bombs.

"I heard them say that it wasn't simultaneous, that they were set off in an order!" Asuka told Yuuma. "It was just like yesterday!"

Asuka then saw that he have the same look on his face from yesterday bombs.

"Kiriya-sensei told me and the others what happened with you a year ago, after what we told him yesterday, and I was worried when you have that look on your face. I'm sorry if I shouldn't have brought it up…" Asuka said.

"Eh? Oh no, it's okay! But man, you're pretty sharp! Just what I'd expect from a ninja." Yuuma said with a smile, before he loses that smile, and begins to look sadden. "I guess you could say I could tell from the sound, or the way the smoke was in the air or the pressure in your stomach…I guess I got it after that incident, using the first explosion to gather a crowd, and then setting another one off…When that village got in the middle of that civil war, I manage to get a few people to safety…But…"

A Same Yummy was seen swimming in a road, and soon jumps, which made a car and its driver turn his steering wheel and hit his brakes, but he crashed into a pole.

A Taka Candroid flies near to Yuuma, getting his attention, and knows why it was here.

"A Yummy!" Yuuma realized, before he looks back to the incident of the explosions. "It has to be related to these explosions!"

Yuuma then saw the man with the doll walking to the crowd, looking at where the explosions had happen, before he turns to his doll, and he and Yuuma spotted each other.

"It looks like he's caught on. This should be an interesting new development." He told his doll, before he leaves.

"It's him…The he must be…" Yuuma said, thinking if he was the one who did this and the one who spawned the Yummy and its nest.

He wanted to chase after him, but the Taka Candroid chirps to him, and flies to where the Yummy is. Yuuma decided that the Yummy is the current problem and decides to follow the Candroid.

Asuka watches him leave, before she turns back to the scene of where the explosions, while remember the words Yuuma told him.

"But…But, as the fighting got worse, there were a few others that I couldn't save…"

(With Yuuma)

Yuuma follows to the Taka Candroid found the Yummy, before it jumps out from the road and fires it's water bombs at him, which he manages to avoid some of them but a few manage to hit him, but he still kept going as he pulled out his OOO-Driver and puts it on.

"I was so weak…and pathetic…"

The Same Yummy charges at Yuuma, which he dodges as the Yummy went back into the road.

Yuuma inserts the Core Medals into his Driver.

"And that girl, who was the first friend I made in that village…"

Yuuma tilted his Driver and scanned the Medals.

"Henshin!" Yuuma declared, as he transformed and as the Same Yummy fires at him, which the energy symbols that appears around him, shields him from it's attacks.

"TAKA!"

"TORA!"

"BATTA!"

"TATOBA! TA-TO-BA! TATOBA!"

Yuuma transformed into OOO, and soon charges at the Same Yummy, as it continues to fire at him.

"I couldn't save her!"

OOO jumps at the Yummy and punches it, making the Same Yummy to stumble back, before OOO charges at the Yummy again.

(Meanwhile with Asuka)

Asuka was seen walking in the street.

'But even so…Even after something like that happened…Yuuma-kun still…' Asuka thought, before remember Yuuma's smiles, before she felt a skipped in her heart after remembering that.

"Or maybe it's because that happened…" Asuka mutters, before she heard and saw Ankh driving on a Ride Vender behind her, before he stops.

Ankh wanted to avoid her, by turning to a nearby tunnel to where OOO was, and Asuka soon decided to follow him.

(Back with OOO)

The Same Yummy and OOO was now under a bridge by a small river, as the Yummy rolls on the ground, before it quickly stood back up, before kicks the Yummy a few times, and then landed a punch followed with a kick.

The Same Yummy growls before it punches at OOO, which he parries and counter punches, the Yummy attacks again, but OOO parried it as well, and counter punches on the Yummy many times, before he throws in a kick which sends the Same Yummy to the ground.

But the Same Yummy begins to swim in the ground around, before it jumps and smacks in the same time, before dives back in the ground, and did the same attack, which sends OOO to the ground.

OOO got back up on one knee.

"It's too fast! I can't keep up!" OOO said, before he dodges another attack from the Yummy.

Ankh soon arrives at the scene, before OOO notices that he has arrived, as Ankh took off his helmet.

"Yuuma! What are you doing?!" Ankh exclaimed, before he brought out a Cheetah Medal. "Use this one!"

Ankh throws the Medal to OOO, which he catches.

"Don't yell at me, you're the one who showed up late!" OOO shouted back Ankh, as he stood up and removes his Batta Medal, and soon inserts the Cheetah Medal, before he dodges another attack from the Same Yummy, and soon scanned the Medals.

"TAKA!"

"TORA!"

"CHEETAH!"

After OOO's legs changed into Cheetah, he uses his Cheetah speed to catch up with the Same Yummy's fin and got in front of it, and used his Tora Claws, to slash the Yummy out from the ground into the air.

OOO was then fired at as explosions hit the water around him before he was punched into the river, as Asuka soon arrives at the scene to see what is happening.

"Yuuma-kun!" Asuka shouted in worried, as she saw what had happened.

OOO got up and saw the two Greeeds, Gamel and Mezool standing in front of him.

"OOO, that Yummy is mine." Mezool told him.

"Yeah! It's Mezool's!" Gamel said, before he smacks his fists together and charges at OOO, punching in the river again, before he picks him up, and punches him again.

"Not good…It's those two." Ankh said now worried about the situation.

"Yuuma…" Asuka said, she wants to help, but wasn't sure if she could handle one of Greeeds, after hearing how powerful they are, even though they have a small amount of their Core Medals.

Mezool then fires water bullets at OOO, which made small explosions around him, before he fallen into the water again.

Ankh separated from his body, and fly in front of OOO.

"Yuuma! We need to withdraw!" Ankh told OOO.

"Not yet!" OOO said, before he smacks Ankh away.

Mezool and Gamel slowly walk to OOO.

OOO brought out the Lion Medal.

"I can use the yellow Medal Combo with this, can't I?" OOO said.

"Don't! I told you, Combos are too dangerous!" Ankh told the Rider.

"Ah! That's Kazari's Medal!" Gamel told Mezool.

"Do you honestly think you have what it takes to withstand a Full Combo?" Mezool asked in a mocking tone.

OOO soon got back on his feet.

"I have to deal with them, and find the Yummy's nest!" OOO stated.

Ankh flicks his wrist, seeing that there's no other choice here.

"Fine then…Just don't blame me if this goes badly." Ankh told him.

OOO flicks the Lion Medal up in the air.

"Is he seriously going to-?!" Mezool said sounding a little scared right now, as Gamel was scratching his head with his finger.

OOO removes his Taka Medal, and soon catches the Lion Medal as it fallen to him, and inserts the Medal and scanned it with the other yellow Core Medals.

"LION!"

"TORA!"

"CHEETAH!"

"La-Tah La-Tah, La-Tora~~Tar!"

OOO then transforms, with his Lion Head, with the Tora part, and the Cheetah legs.

This is the Latorartar Combo – The Scorching Combo.

As OOO transformed into the Full Yellow Medal Combo, he roars loudly, while giving off a blindly bright light around him and a strong heat wave, which was strong enough to dry up the river, which also made Asuka cover her eyes from the blinding light.

(Cue: Ride on Right time by Shu Watanabe)

When the heat wave OOO was giving off, hits Mezool it made her spilled out four of her Core Medals into the air, Ankh saw them in time enough to catch them.

"Looks like we made a decent gamble after all." Ankh said, as he was holding two Unagi(Eel) Medals, and two Tako(Octopus) Medals.

Gamel gone to Mezool who was on the ground, before he kneels to her and helps her up.

"Mezool! Mezool!" Gamel said in worried of her

OOO's light died down as a lion's roar was heard. Mezool's armored legs breaks apart into Cell Medal, after she lost most of her Medals.

"Gamel…Take me away from here…Hurry…" Mezool ordered Gamel, as she loses conscious.

"Okay!" Gamel shouted, before he slams his fist to the ground which made a large hole, and he soon drags Mezool with him into the ground, as the river wash back up, covering the hole he made, as the Same Yummy jumps out of the water.

OOO brought out his Tora Claws, before he jumps at the Yummy, and catches it on the neck, and slams it to the ground. OOO then bring the Yummy back on it's feet, and begins slashing the Same Yummy on the chest with each of his claws before he lands a double stab, and lands a downward slash and slashes through the Yummy behind, and soon turns around, to slash it again sending rolling on the ground.

OOO then drew out his O-Scanner, and scanned his Core Medals.

"SCANNING CHARGE!"

Three energy rings appear in front of OOO, as the Same Yummy got back on it's feet. OOO moves through the rings in his Cheetah speed, channeling energy by passing through each ring.

"Seiya!" OOO doubles slashes the Yummy, destroying it.

(End of song)

OOO begins panting, after the Yummy is destroyed.

"I did it!" OOO said, before he tilted his Driver straight to change back into Yuuma.

Yuuma was seen stumbling a little as he was walking, feeling the effects of using a Full Combo, and soon fallen on his knees and was about to fall to the ground, before Asuka runs up to him and catches before he can hit the ground.

"Asuka-chan…" Yuuma mutters tiredly.

"Don't worry I got you." Asuka said, before she helps him stand back up by landing him, her shoulders for support.

"Idiot." Ankh said as he flies to Yuuma. "I warned you this would happen. I should have never let you carry the Medals yourself."

Ankh flies to Yuuma's hand that was holding the Core Medals, and takes them out of his hand. Yuuma then spotted the man with the doll.

"That man…" Yuuma mutters.

"Huh? What is it?" Ankh said, before he and Asuka look to where he was looking and saw the man with the doll, looking at from afar.

"I think he's involved with the bombings…And…He might be the person that spawned the Yummy!" Yuuma stated.

"Nani?!" Asuka gasped, and Ankh is curious if what he said is ture.

The man soon walks to them, which made Asuka on guard if he was going to harm Yuuma.

"It's not him." Ankh told them.

"What but he-…" Yuuma mutters.

"I can tell when a person has given birth to a Yummy. There's no doubt about it." Ankh explained.

"He's correct." The man said while looking at his doll. "I am neither the cause of the Yummy, or the bombings. There's a certain gentlemen who loves bombs, you see…I'm currently observing him."

"Observing…?" Yuuma and Asuka said.

"And I was lucky to get a glimpse of OOO power as well. Even though I was a little disappointed I didn't get to see a power of a ninja." The man said.

"Nani?!" Asuka gasped, that this man knows that she is a ninja.

"Now, pardon me." He told them, before he turns around and leaves.

"Hey, hold it!" Ankh shouted to him, which made him stop. "You seem to know a lot, but…Who exactly are you?"

"Until their lives are complete, people do not amount to much. It is only once life has ended, that you can truly judge its nature." He told them, before he straightens out his doll's suit. "Let us hope that we will have a pleasant end, someday."

"Huh?" Ankh said, while being confused of what he told him and the others.

Yuuma and Asuka, were also wondering what he means as well.

(Meanwhile, somewhere else)

A car was driving into the parking lot of a facility, and passing a sign, that says 'Kougami Biotech Laboratory owned by the Kougami Foundation'.

The car soon stops in by the front of the building, which had Ride Vendors, some in bike mode, and other in vendor mode, and soon walking out of the building, to the car, were a couplce the laboratory's scientists.

Coming out of the car was Satonaka, she soon opens the back doors, and soon pulls out a large tablet screen, which soon turns on revealing Kougami in his office.

"Happy Birthday to the Kougami Biotech Laboratory!" Kougami cheered, before he fires confetti. "And let us also celebreat the tenth anniversary of our foundation's shining star, the brilliant Dr. Kiyoto Maki!"

The scientist moves aside, as the strange man with the doll walks past, with the nametag, with the Kiyoto Maki on it, before he stops in front of the scientists facing Kougami.

"It was thanks to you that we were able to create the glorious Medal System!" Kougami said.

Maki turns to his doll.

"Thank you, sir." Maki told Kougami, who begins laughing and claps to Maki.

The bomber is seen sited on a chair, while writing down notes for his bombs while making more, and he is seen wearing a lab coat, and is in a water factory.

He was inserting wires while looking through a magnifying glass, when he was done; he moves it away, revealing a young man in his mid-20s, with black hair and eyes. He soon smiles as he looks at his work.

Unaware the Same Yummies nest was behind him, growing as his desire grows even stronger.

A bomb was seen underwater, counting down from 9:55.
