Chapter 8: Goodbye, Kazuto
It was the middle of the night in the city.
In the guestroom of Haruhiko's house, Kazuto was examining the Kaixa Gear's equipment. He saw that the Phone for it is in a similar design of his Faiz Phone, it has a gun mode, and has certain codes for the activation of the transformation and it's attack modes, and has a Mission Memory for it's weapons.
He then checked the Kaixa Shot and Pointer, he saw that the Kaixa Shot is in the same design of his Faiz Shot, while the Pointer was in the shape of binoculars.
Kazuto then heard the door opening and saw Haruhiko walking in the room as he was yawning and was holding a cup of coffee in his hand.
"Oh hey, Haruhiko." Kazuto greeted.
"Hey…" Haruhiko said as he triedly waved at him. "Can't sleep?"
"Yeah...I was busy checking the Kaixa Gear out." Kazuto said before he checks on the Kaixa Blaygun. "I can't help but feel amazed by this Gear. This might be more advanced than my Faiz Gear."
"If that's true then why don't you use it yourself?" Haruhiko asked before he took a sip of his coffee.
"I would, but I prefer to keep using the Faiz Gear. But I'll still take care of both Gears, these were my parents' greatest inventions." Kazuto said.
"Even though one of them killed a man." Haruhiko stated which made Kazuto glare at him, which made Haruhiko to flinch. "Sorry, I didn't mean to…"
Kazuto sigh before he put the Blaygun on the table.
"Don't worry, it's alright." Kazuto said.
"Glad to hear that…" Haruhiko said before he yawns. "In anycase, I'll go to my room and get some sleep. I need the energy for school tomorrow. You should do the same too."
Kazuto slightly flinched before he nervously chuckles.
"Oh yeah...don't worry I will." Kazuto told him.
Haruhiko blinked when he acted like that.
"Alright then, goodnight." Haruhiko told him as he leaves the room.
"Goodnight." Kazuto said as he waved goodbye.
When Haruhiko was now gone, Kazuto sigh in relief and he soon brought out the Faiz Gear and connected both the Faiz and Kaixa Gears onto his customized laptop and searches through their dataspace to find this locked data file that Hikaru told him about after he left.
Kazuto soon sound this data file as it was in a digital data cage.
"This must be it." Kazuto said.
He then tries to unlock it but when he did the cage turned red.
"Access denied. User do not have the requirements to unlock this file." A voice in his laptop told him.
"Great, guess I need this Delta Gear to unlock it." Kazuto said before sighs as he leans back in his chair and stares at the ceiling.
As Kazuto was staring at the ceiling a thought was heavy on his mind. Now that he knows about the Orphnoch King's existence the thought of this Orphnoch being out there hasn't left his mind.
While he trust that Hikaru will find the King, the thought of him and the kids under his care being out there still fighting against Smart Brain and to find the King was still heavy in his mind. While Kazuto himself was still here enjoying the easy life with his friends.
Then the memories he made with his friends flashed in his mind, and then he remembered the promises he made to his parents.
Kazuto then closed his eyes for a while and soon opens them as he now made his decision.

({The} end Justi-φ's the means!) Then the song ends, with the title logo.
It was now six in the morning in the city.
In his room, Kazuto wearing his casually clothes placed his folded school uniform on the bed.
He then brought out the letter he made last night and looks at it with sadness in his eyes before he closes his eyes.
"I'm really sorry about this everyone." Kazuto said before he placed the letter on top of his school uniform.
Kazuto then picks up his duffel bag filled with his clothes, supples, and equipment, and his briefcases that contains the Faiz and Kaixa Gears, and Kazuto soon leaves the room.
He was now in the living room and was going to head to outside…
"You going somewhere?" Kazuto stops when he heard that familiar voice, he turns to the table and saw Haruhiko seated on the couch in the living room.
"Would you believe me, if I told you I found a part time job and have an earlier start?" Kazuto asked.
"I have to say no." Haruhiko stated.
"Probably should have thought of a better excuse." Kazuto mutters. "But anyway, I'm surprised that you're even up, especially this early in the morning."
"Well truth be told…" Haruhiko said before he yawned. "I sort of stayed up all night, but I sort of had a feeling you were going somewhere. You're gonna go look for the Orphnoch King, aren't you?"
Kazuto chuckles.
"I guess you know me too well. Then again compared to the others you're pretty much the brains in our team." Kazuto stated.
"Well thanks for that." Haruhiko said before he stands up and faced him. "But are you really serious about leaving?"
Kazuto frowns before he turns away from Haruhiko.
"I am. Now that I know that the King is out there, I can't afford to waste time here and enjoy the easy life." Kazuto said.
"But...didn't you say, you enjoy the life you had here and that you'll protect it?" Haruhiko asked, which causes Kazuto to sigh.
"That was then. And this is now. And right now I have my next mission, and that's to hunt down the King and destroy him." Kazuto said as he walks to the door to leave the house, but soon stops as Haruhiko walks in front of him to block his path. "Move, Haruhiko. I won't ask again."
"Well guess what. I'm not moving." Haruhiko told him.
"Do you really think you can stop me?" Kazuto asked as he puts the bag and briefcases down.
"Oh don't get me wrong. I know I'm not strong enough to stop you, but I'm still not mov-!" Haruhiko grunted before he looked down and saw Kazuto had punch him on his abdomen.
Kazuto then quickly runs up behind his friend and placed his arms around his neck for a chokehold. Haruhiko tries to break free, but sadly his physical strength is so weak to remove Kazuto's arms, and he soon started to lose some air as it was starting to get harder for him to breathe.
"I'm really sorry about this, Haruhiko. But in my defense I did warn you." Kazuto told him as he slowly tightens his hold on Haruhiko's neck.
"Y-Yeah right…" Haruhiko mutters before he passed out.
Kazuto then carried Haruhiko to the couch before he sets him down on it.
Kazuto then picks up his bag and briefcases and soon heads outside.
Now outside, Kazuto tied his bag and briefcases on the back of Auto as he tightens the rope around them. After he was down he soon sits on his bike and puts on his helmet.
"You ready to go, Auto?" Kazuto asked.
"I am. But Kazuto...are you really sure about this?" Auto asked.
Kazuto sighs before he nodded.
"I am." Kazuto said before he drives on the road and leaves the neighbor and to soon leave the city.
Mai and the others from her team decided to meet with Kazuto and Haruhiko at Haruhiko's house. As they were walking Mai yawned as she covered her mouth.
"Are you alright, Mai-oneesama?" Reina asked.
"Yeah I'm fine. I was just tired from yesterday." Mai told her.
"Yeah, I know what you mean. All of that was a lot to take in." Reina said.
"Also by the way Kiba." Mai called out which gotten his attention. "There's something I have to ask?"
"Yes, what is it?" Kiba asked.
"Mind telling me why she's following us?" Mai asked as she and Kiba turned at Koito who was following behind them while minding her own business as she was listening to her music.
"Don't ask me, I'm just as confused as you are. She just up and followed me this morning." Kiba told her.
"Hmmm...well anyway let's just ignore her for now." Mai stated, which causes the others to nervously chuckle.
They soon arrived at Haruhiko's house, and Mai then walked to the door and knocked on it, but received now answer and was going to call out before she noticed that the door was still open.
"That's weird they left the door opened?" Mai blinked before she opens the door and she and the others walked inside the house. "Haruhiko? Kazuto? Are you awake?"
"Maybe they're still asleep?" Reina stated.
"Haruhiko maybe, but Kazuto I highly doubt it." Mai said before they entered the living room and saw Haruhiko sleeping on the couch. "See what I mean?"
Mai walks to Haruhiko and picks him up on the collar and slaps him a few times.
"Come on, sleepy head it's time to get up!" Mai told him, while Kiba had a worried look having a feeling that something's wrong.
"Something isn't right here?" Kiba said before he heads to Kazuto's guest room.
Haruhiko slowly begins to wake up before Mai slaps him a little harder to help him wake up even more.
"Mai-senpai! Stop! I'm awake!" Haruhiko said and Mai soon stops slapping on him.
"Good, now where's Kazuto? And you better not tell me, that he's still sleeping as well." Mai said.
"Wait…" Haruhiko blinked. "You mean you didn't see him out there?"
"What? No why would we?" Mai asked.
"Oh no…" Haruhiko mutters before he looks down in shame, making the others blinked in wondering.
"Okay, what's wrong?" Koito asked as she removed her headphones.
"Inui's gone isn't he?" Kiba asked as he walked back in the living room with Kazuto's letter in hand.
Haruhiko didn't answer as he continues to look down in shame, while the others blink in wondering.
They soon entered Kazuto's room, but soon saw all of his belongings were now gone and his school uniform folded on the bed.
"Haruhiko...Just where did Kazuto go?" Mai asked.
"He...He decided to head out and looked for this Orphnoch King himself…" Haruhiko told her and the others.
"But...why would he?" Reina asked.
"I think this holds the answers to that." Kiba said getting their attention before he opens the letter and read what was written inside. "To my friends, by the time you're reading this letter it means that I'm already gone."
They listen as they imagine it Kazuto saying those words himself.
(With Kazuto)
Kazuto was now on the freeway heading to the next city, leaving Shibuya and his friends behind.
"I'm sorry for leaving without telling you. But now that I know that the King is out there, I can't stay here and let Professor Midorikawa fight this war alone. Which is why I've decided to head out to find the King as well. But I know you all will try to stop me from going, which is why I left without saying anything. I've really enjoyed the time we've spent together, but I guess it was only a matter of time until that ends."
(Back with the others)
"Don't bother trying to look for me, because it will be a waste of time. I'm good at being on the run." Kiba finished reading the last of the letter's message.
The others were left stunned by this while Haruhiko and Koito looked down on the floor. Then Mai was about to run out of the room, until Kiba stops him by grabbing her arm.
"Mai, wait! Where do you think you're going?" Kiba asked even though he had a good idea.
"Where do you think?! I'm going after Kazuto!" Mai told him.
"Wait, Mai-senpai! I know how you feel, but he could already be miles away from here." Haruhiko told her.
"Even so I'm not gonna stand by and let him leave like this!" Mai said as she breaks free from Kiba's hold and walks to the door.
"You know the moment you do chase after him, it will only cause trouble to Inui." Kiba said making Mai to stop walking before she turns at him.
"What do you mean by that?" Mai asked.
"If you choose to follow, Inui, in finding the Orphnoch King then it will mean you're an official enemy of Smart Brain." Kiba told her, which causes Mai to blink. "I mean sure, you all have a close friendship with him, and he told you their secrets and had encounters with many Orphnochs, but Smart Brain has yet to label all of you as official enemies to them, unlike Inui and myself."
This made the others realized that he was right, because Smart Brain has not yet made any moves on them but only do so if Kazuto and Kiba were involved with him.
"But...Even so we can't just leave Kazuto alone by himself…" Mai mutters.
"I know how you feel...but regardless he left now, and something tells me he's not going to look back." Kiba stated coldly.
This causes the others to look down to the floor in sadness, knowing that he's right, and either way Kazuto is now gone and might never come back.
Then suddenly Ruru has entered the room to greet her friends.
"Hey everyone! Ruru has arrived!" Ruru saluted before she notices the long faces her friends had which made her blink in wondering. "Hey what's with the long faces?"
"You know Ruru, you really do have sucky timing." Haruhiko sighed as he rubs the back of his neck.
(Later)
After school, Kiba contacted Leo to meet in their usual meeting spot, which was in a dark alleyway. When they both had arrived, Kiba had told Leo about what has happened today.
"I see. Well I guess it's not must of a surprise, considering he found out that the King is real." Leo said.
"Yes, but what are we going to do now? Our mission was to keep an eye on him, in the hope that he might attract the Kaixa and Delta Gears, and he already has Kaixa in his possession." Kiba said in worried.
"Kiba, relaxed." Leo told him as he patted on his partner's shoulder. "All we need is to motivate him to come back here."
"Oh really, and how are we going to do that?" Kiba asked not sounding convinced by that.
"Simple, we just have to use those friends of his as bait. If he's anything like our old Faiz, then he'll value his friends above anything else, even if it's the King." Leo told him, which worried Kiba when he said that.
"Are you serious?" Kiba asked in worry.
"What's wrong? Why do you sound worried…? Oh wait don't tell me you're growing too attached to these people here?" Leo asked.
"N-No of course…" Kiba shook his head. "Why would you say that? You know I won't let my personal feelings get in the way of our mission."
Leo hummed in thought before he smirks.
"Fine, if you say so." Leo said before he walks away. "Just give me two weeks to prepare, I'll let you know when I'm done. And don't worry about those friends of yours, I promise you they won't be harmed in anyway. We might still need them as leverage afterall."
Kiba still had a worried look on his face while still being worried for his friends safety, but soon shook the thought out of his head. He shouldn't worry about that, those people were just a means to an end for him and he should focus on the mission his lord and master has given him. But yet a small part of him still cares for them for some strange reason.
(Two weeks later)
Haruhiko and the others were now in their clubroom as Arisu is giving out the students of the club Phantom related tasks to take care of.
Haruhiko and the others told her that Kazuto won't be attending school for a while, and she understood thinking that he has something that needs to be done.
'It's been two weeks since Kazuto left us. I wonder how he is.' Haruhiko thought in wonder, as he and the others were still saddened of Kazuto's leaving.
(Meanwhile)
A man wearing a Smart Brain uniform is seen running away from someone, as he now runs into an alleyway but soon stops as he was now in front of a deadend, and the one who was hunting him stops behind him before he calls out.
"End of the line, Orphnoch!" He turns around and it was Faiz who was behind him.
Then the Orphnoch transforms into his true form. His Orphnoch form is based around a boar, with the head of one and with the legs as well.
The Boar Orphnoch roars before he charges at Faiz to ram at the Rider, but Faiz dodges his attack and lands a punch on the Orphnoch's head followed with a kick on his chest.
The Boar Orphnoch roars once again and punches at Faiz, and the Rider dodges his attacks before he counterattack by punching on the Orphnoch a few times.
Faiz then pulls out his Phone and pressed '1-0-6' and 'Enter'.
BURST MODE
Faiz changes his Phone into its gun mode, and fires upon the Boar Orphnoch with its rapid fire shots, which forced the Orphnoch to stumble on the wall behind him, and Faiz placed his arm on the Orphnoch's neck to pin him on the wall and pressed his gun on the Boar Orphnoch's head.
"Wait, stop! Just what do you want from me?!" The Boar Orphnoch said in fear.
"Answers! I know who you are, Izaya Kowajiri. You're the district leader here for Smart Brain's transportation deliveries, some of them being special but classified items." Faiz said. "Did you ever transport something from to another location! And don't lie to me, because I'll know!"
"W-Well I'm not sure what it was, but the CEO wanted me to drop a truck with a special package in it." The Boar Orphnoch told him.
"What was it?!" Faiz demanded loudly as he slams the bottom of his gun on the wall near the Orphnoch's head.
"I don't know! I didn't bother asking or taking a look at it! Look man, compared to him, the board of directors, and Lucky Clover, I'm just a grunt! They don't trust me with that kind of info!" The Boar Orphnoch told him.
"Can you at least tell me, where you drop this package to?" Faiz asked.
"On the road in the middle of here and to Kyoto…" The Boar Orphnoch told him.
"If I don't find anything there, I'll be coming back for you." Faiz told him before he turns away from the Orphnoch as he inserts his Phone back in his Belt and soon walks away.
As he was walking through, the Boar Orphnoch took this chance and jumps at Faiz to attack him from behind. But Faiz is aware that he was heading towards him, as he pulls out his Faiz Shot and inserted his Mission Memory into it.
READY
Faiz soon pressed the 'Enter' button on his Phone.
EXCEED CHARGE
As energy channels to Faiz's Shot, he soon turns around at the Boar Orphnoch and punches his Shot on his body before the Orphoch is sent flying as he turns to dust.
"Nice try…" Faiz coldly mutters before he leaves to head to his temporary headout.
After dealing with the Boar Orphnoch, Faiz changed back to a hooded Kazuto as he walks in front of the gate of abandoned storage unit he found as a temporary hideout.
He soon opens the gate and saw Auto Vaijin in Battle Mode seated on the floor, holding the case of the Kaixa Gear on its lap. Auto soon saw Kazuto entering their hideout which made his trusted companion to stand up.
"Kazuto, you're back. Are you alright though?" Auto Vaijin asked.
"I'm fine. I've gotten the information I needed from Izaya." Kazuto said as he walks to the map of Japan hanging on the wall, filled with red lines, dots and names of every city some that were crossed out while several were still clear, the ones that were crossed out were cities Kazuto had visited on his hunt for the Orphnoch King, he soon picks up a red marker and crossed out the city they were in.
"Well that's good, but what did he say?" Auto Vaijin asked.
"He said that he dropped off a truck with a classified item on the road to Kyoto." Kazuto told him.
"That's not much to go on." Auto Vaijin stated.
"It helps narrow it down at least!" Kazuto exclaimed.
"Yeah, from here to an entire city or two!" Auto Vaijin said. "Kazuto, we've been hunting for the King for two weeks straight now! But so far we've found nothing that will lead us to his location!"
"Your point, Auto!" Kazuto exclaimed loudly as he removed his hood and turns towards Auto Vaijin.
Auto Vaijin then saw the state Kazuto's face is in. One can tell that Kazuto hadn't gotten any sleep for a while due to the bags under his eyes, and his hair was now messy. This really worried Auto Vaijin in the current state Kazuto is in.
"Kazuto, I know hunting down the King is important, but I'm really starting to worry about you. I mean when was the last time you had a good night sleep and a proper meal?" Auto Vaijin asked.
"You're not supposed to worry, Auto! You're nothing but an AI program that I develop to help make you more efficient in combat!" Kazuto stated loudly, which cases Auto to flinched as he was stunned in silence. Kazuto's face flinched before he sighs and rubs his hand down on his face. "I-I'm sorry, Auto...I didn't mean to…"
"It's alright." Auto Vaijin said before he walks to Kazuto and placed his hand on his shoulder. "But Kazuto, are you really sure this is worth it? I mean, the King could be anywhere in Japan, hell he could on the other side of the world for all we know. Are you sure, you can commit to that?"
"If that's what it takes, then yes I am." Kazuto said as he removes Auto's hand, and placed his hands on the table behind him. "And if it means anything, I slept for an hour and I had an energy bar for breakfast...and for dinner last night."
"Yeah that's certainly a well balanced diet…" Auto Vaijin mutters. "But Kazuto what about, Mai and the others?"
"What about them?" Kazuto asked.
"Shouldn't we at least send them a message that we're alright?" Auto Vaijin asked.
"No, we can't afford to look back. The mission takes priority, we can't let Professor Midorikawa to fight his war without us, especially with his injury." Kazuto said.
"I know that, but he's been hunting the King for years, and he still can't find anything. Not to mention he's not alone, he still has those kids with him. And I'm sure he'll let us know if he finds the King." Auto Vaijin said.
"Even so we can't afford to stop now after we come this far." Kazuto told him.
This made Auto Vaijin to sigh as he shook his head.
"Kazuto, I know that the King is a danger to us all, but is this really worth sacrificing your happiness over?" Auto Vaijin asked.
"When it comes between my happiness and the mission, Auto, you should know that the mission will always come first." Kazuto told him, which causes Auto to sigh in disappointment.
"Fine have it your way. But regardless of your choice, I'll always stand by your side." Auto Vaijin said before he changes into his vehicle mode.
Kazuto placed his hand over his face.
(Meanwhile)
After accepting their next job, Mai and her team were walking to the location where a Phantom is said to be running wild in the area.
As they were Mai wasn't very enthusiastic about it, especially since the reward is a month's worth of food coupons for the supermarket. Which Haruhiko and the others notice.
"Mai-oneesama, are you alright?" Reina asked which causes Mai to flinch before she turns at her with a forceful smile on her face.
"Yes, I'm fine! Don't worry, Reina-chan!" Mai assured.
But even though she says that, the others weren't that convinced about that.
"Man, I'm really worried about Mai-chi." Ruru whispers to Haruhiko.
"Yeah me too. I mean Kazuto's leaving us, was hard for all of us, but I think she's the one hurting the most. I wish there was something we can do." Haruhiko said quietly before Kiba placed his hand on his shoulder.
"Don't worry about it. We just need to give her some time." Kiba told him.
"I know that, but even so…" Haruhiko mutters.
"Man, I just wish Kazu-chi will hurry on back to us…" Ruru mutters as she pouted.
"Me too...but who knows when that will happen." Haruhiko said.
They soon arrived at the location where a Phantom is said to be causing trouble in the area, which was a warehouse in the seaport.
"Hello is anyone here?" Mai called out as she and the others entered the warehouse but still hadn't found anyone inside.
"I don't know about this Mai-senpai, I think maybe we should leave." Haruhiko said in worry thinking this might be another Orphnoch trap.
"Oh don't be a baby, Haruhiko. Besides, what could possibly go wrong?" Mai asked.
Then suddenly the doors that were opened for them suddenly closed loudly.
"What the…?" Mai gasped before suddenly gas started to fill the room.
"Oh you just have to say it! Didn't you?!" Haruhiko shouted as he and the others covered their mouths.
"Come on, let's just open the door!" Kiba said before he and Mai rushed to the door.
They both tried to pry the door open with their hands but it couldn't even budge.
"Dang it, what is with this door?! It won't budge!" Mai said as she and Kiba let's go of the door.
"Stand back!" Kiba said as he pulled out his Phone in gun mode and fired upon the door but there wasn't even a scratch on it. "Not even a scratch?"
"Kurumi, try using Albrecht to smash the door!" Haruhiko said as he turns to Kurumi, but she was starting to fall asleep due to the gas filling the room before she had fallen on the floor. "Kurumi!"
Haruhiko runs to check on her and saw she was still breathing.
"Reina-chan!" Haruhiko turns and saw that Reina had fallen asleep as well as she fallen in Mai's arms.
"This gas...it must be a sleeping agent…" Haruhiko said as he, Mai and Kiba was now starting to feel the effects before they had fallen on the floor as they fallen asleep as well.
Kiba was still slightly awake before he saw a hooded Leo standing over them with a smirk on his face before his eyes closed.
Kazuto is seen running in a dark space, and the thing he was running after was a shadowy figure of the Orphnoch King who was simply walking forward.
"You're not getting away from me!" Kazuto swore to the King before he stops walking and Kazuto stops behind him. "So you finally decide to face me?"
The Orphnoch King turns at Kazuto and simply shook his head, which made Kazuto blinked in confusion before…
"K-Kazuto-kun…" A familiar voice calls out to him, Kazuto's eyes widen as he recognizes that voice.
Kazuto soon looked down and saw that it was a wounded Mai with blue flames appearing around her body.
"M-Mai…?" Kazuto mutters before he saw his other friends, Kiba, Haruhiko, Reina, Koito, and even Kurumi on the ground as well, all being wounded with blue flames appearing on top of their bodies.
"W-Why did you leave us to die…?" Mai mutters before she and the others turned to ash, much to Kazuto's horror as his face was twisted with despair and grief.
He then heard the Orphnoch King laughing in a psychotic tone, which made Kazuto turn to him as the King now has an evil grin on his face.
"This is all your fault, Kazuto Inui! You abandon your friends when they need you the most, and now they're dead because of you!" The Orphnoch King stated.
"N-N-No that's not true...I left to protect them…" Kazuto mutters as he shook his head in denial.
"By pushing them away? Huh you call that protection? Don't make me laugh! The only one you were only protecting, is yourself!" The Orphnoch King.
Kazuto begins to pant rapidly before he screams as he fell on his knees and placed his hands on his head.
(Real world)
Kazuto who was sleeping with his head on the table wakes up screaming in fear. He soon begins to calm down as he slowly realizes that the whole ordeal was just a dream, before he sighs in relief as he placed his hands over his eyes.
"It was just a dream…" Kazuto mutters in relief.
Kazuto then packed up his things as Auto Vaijin in its vehicle mode was waiting for him outside, as they were going to head to Kyoto to look for any clues for the Orphnoch King.
Kazuto walks out of the abandoned storage unit before he closed the door, he then placed his duffle bag and briefcases on his bike's rear end as he tied them on it.
Kazuto was about to put on his helmet before he sense a presence behind him, and he quickly pulls out his Phone in gun mode as he turns around pointed his gun at a hooded Leo who was standing behind him.
"Who are you?" Kazuto asked being on guard against the hooded Leo.
"Oh we've met before." Leo stated as he brought out the Psyga Phone and Kazuto's eyes widen as he recognizes the Phone in his hand.
"You're that White Rider?" Kazuto asked.
"Bingo! And the name's Psyga by the way." Leo told him.
"Just what do you want from me?" Kazuto asked in suspicion of him.
"Oh nothing much. I'm only here to tell you, that your friends are in danger." Leo stated.
"What…?" Kazuto blinked in confusion. "Why would you say that?"
"Because I've just kidnapped them." Leo said before he brought a handheld device and pressed a button on it, which brought out holographic screens, each bringing a picture of each of Kazuto's friends.
Mai, and Kiba were tied up alone, while the others were tied up together, Haruhiko with Reina, and Koito with Kurumi.
"You bastard!" Kazuto exclaimed as he ready to shoot at him.
"Relax, they're all unharm and are still alive. Well for now anyway." Leo stated.
"What? What do you mean by that?" Kazuto asked.
Leo pressed on another button which zoom out the screens, which showed a large bomb by his friends counting down from 2 hours and 58 minutes.
"By each of your friends is a bomb that is powerful enough to level an entire building." Leo said before he showed a map with red dots that pinpoint where the bombs and his friends are. "Here are the locations where you can find both them and the bombs. It will take about 2 hours to make it from here and to Shibuya. If you hurry you might just make it."
"Why are you telling me this?" Kazuto asked as he was confused.
"Because it makes things more entertaining that way. But don't bother asking pointless questions, you're almost out of time." Leo said before he pressed another button on his device which unleashed a bright light that forces Kazuto to cover his eyes.
When the light dies down, Kazuto looks and saw that Leo was now gone, but he was now faced with another dilemma. He wasn't sure if Leo was telling him the truth, but the possibility of his friends being in danger was a risk he wasn't going to take.
Kazuto soon sits on his bike as he puts on the Faiz Gear, and pressed 5-5-5 and Enter on his Phone.
STANDING BY
"So I guess we're heading back then?" Auto Vaijin asked.
"Yeah, wasn't expecting something like this to happen, but I have no choice. Especially since it's to save my friends. Henshin!" Kazuto said as he inserted his Faiz Phone into his Belt.
COMPLETE
Kazuto soon transformed into Faiz and soon turns around on his bike as he now drives forward, heading straight towards Shibuya with no signs of stopping or slowing down.
(2 hour later)
Kiba slowly begins to wake up, and soon found himself tied up and saw a large bomb near to him, and was counting down from 58 minutes.
"Damn it...Leo...just what are you thinking?" Kiba mutters to himself before he looks around saw that he's in the room of what looks like an abandoned office building. "Well it doesn't look like people were using this place for a while, so that's good. But I'm still going to give him a piece of my mind."
Kiba then heard the door being smashed down, he looked and saw it was Faiz who had kicked down the door as he walks inside.
"Kiba!" Faiz said as he runs to Kiba and begins to untie him.
"Inui! Am I glad to see you." Kiba said as Faiz manage to free him from the ropes before he stands back up.
"Me too." Faiz said before he heads the bomb. "Now for this."
Faiz slowly and carefully opens the panel below the timer, and both him and Kiba saw the timer as four wires attached to the timer, two blue wires, one yellow, and one red.
"Interesting designs, but a flaw one as well." Faiz said before he pulls on the blue wires first, then the yellow wire, but when he pulled on that wire it drop down to 10 seconds, which surprised Kiba.
"Inui!" Kiba called out.
"Relax, that was only a failsafe." Faiz told him as he pulls out the red wire which then disables the bomb as the timer stops counting down.
This made both Faiz and Kiba to sigh in relief before Faiz stands up and turn at his friend.
"It's too early to celebrate just yet. There's still three more bombs to go with our friends right beside them." Faiz said and Kiba nodded in agreement.
Faiz and Kiba were now leaving the building together, as they were walking, Faiz was explaining to Kiba on how to handle this.
"Base on what I've seen on that map of his, I was able to determine the others location. Haruhiko and Reina are in another building north-west from here, and Koito and Kurumi-chan are in a building East from here as well. And Mai's in the North of the city." Faiz explained. "It's best that we split up, we'll saved them faster like that."
"Yeah, that seems like the best plan." Kiba said in agreement.
"But do you have your belt with you?" Faiz asked as he and Kiba exits the building and are now outside.
"No I don't. Guess L...That guy must have taken it. But that won't mean I'm defenseless without it." Kiba said. "I'll save, Koito and Kurumi-chan. You go help, Haruhiko, Reina, and Mai."
"Alright, but if you want I can give you Auto to give you a lift there." Faiz offered.
"No thanks. I have that covered." Kiba said before he transformed into the Horse Orphnoch, and then his legs changes into a body of an actually horse's, and soon Kiba gallops to where Koito and Reina.
"Okay, good to know." Faiz said before he got on top of his bike and drives to where Haruhiko and Reina is.
The Horse Orphnoch soon arrives in the location of where Koito and Kurumi is, which was an abandoned warehouse. He soon changes back into Kiba before he heads inside.
Kiba looks around saw Koito and Kurumi tied up together on the bomb, with Koito's mouth bound with a gag and Kurumi trusted bear Albrecht is tied up in a cocoon made out of duct tape, they were trying to break from their bindings, but soon saw Kiba as he runs to them.
"Kiba-san!" Kurumi said in relief.
"Don't worry you two! I'm coming!" Kiba said.
As he was running a shadowy figure was looking down at Kiba, as he was hanging on the ceiling before it jumps at Kiba to attack him, which Koito saw and she calls out to Kiba by muffling through her gag.
Kiba heard her called out, as she pointed her head upward, and Kiba soon looks above and saw an Orphnoch heading towards to slashed at him with his sword, and Kiba manages to dodges his attack in time by rolling forward on the ground.
Kiba soon stands on his knee, foot and hand as he turns at the Orphnoch.
"Impressive, I guess this will be somewhat entertaining afterall." The Orphnoch said as he turns at Kiba showing his form.
The Orphnoch was based around a bat, with a head similar to one along with the wings that are attached under his arms and is armed with two short swords in hand. This is the Bat Orphnoch.
'Damn it, Leo...I know we wanted to make this looks convincing but there's no reason to take this too far…' Kiba thought.
"Oh but before we start, this belong to you, correct?" The Bat Orphnoch asked as he brought out Kiba's Orga Gear, much to his surprise. Then the Bat Orphnoch throws the Gear at Kiba's feet which surprised him even more. "Go ahead and use it."
Kiba blinked in confusion.
"Why would you do that?" Kiba asked. "Wouldn't it make this easier for you."
"I don't want things to be easy. I want to fight a worthy opponent, and I want them to be at their very best." The Bat Orphnoch told him.
Kiba then looks at his Orga Gear before he picks it up and then he stands up, as he puts it on.
"Fine, if that's what you want…" Kiba said as he pulls out the Orga Phone and enters the code 0-0-0 and then pressed on Enter to activate it.
STANDING BY
"Then I'll be happy to comply...Henshin!" Kiba shouted as he inserted his Phone into his Belt.
COMPLETE
Kiba soon transformed into Orga. Then Orga pulls out his sword the Orga Stlanzer, and soon both the Black Rider and the Bat Orphnoch charged at each other.
Orga slashed at the Bat Orphnoch, but he dodges his attack by jumping above both his sword and above him, and the Bat Orphnoch lands behind Orga and slashed on his back with both of his swords.
Orga soon turns around and swings his sword at the Bat Orphnoch again, but the Orphnoch dodges it again by jumping over his sword in a spinning motion, before he lands another slash on Orga's chest which forces the Black Rider to stumble back as the Bat Orphnoch lands on his feet.
"Damn this guy is though...it looks like this won't be easy…" Orga mutters as he holds his sword with both of his hands, and the Bat Orphnoch strikes a combat pose.
"What's wrong, is that all you can do?" The Bat Orphnoch asked.
Orga clicks his tongue before he saw the timer on the bomb is now at 20 minutes and counting.
'Not enough time left...I need to finish this quick. I hope that Inui, is having better luck than I am.' Orga thought in worry.
(Meanwhile)
Haruhiko and Reina had soon woken up, they looked around and saw that they were in abandoned factory, and when Haruhiko saw the large bomb he slightly panic and tries to call out for help.
"Help! Is anyone out there?! We need help!" Haruhiko calls out.
"Haruhiko-kun, I don't think anyone can hear us." Reina said as she sweat drops.
"Come on, Reina-san! You can't possibly tell me you're not scared as well?" Haruhiko asked.
"Well I would be lying to say that I'm not, but even so I don't think panicking about it won't help either." Reina stated.
"Dang it...you do have a point there…" Haruhiko mutters as his lowers his head in shame.
They soon heard the sound of a familiar motorcycle engine, they look and saw it was Faiz on his bike who soon arrived as he stops.
"Kazuto!?/Kazuto-kun!" Haruhiko and Reina said at the same time, as they were surprised and relieved to see their friend here.
Faiz soon got off his bike and runs towards his friends to help them.
"Hang on guys! I'm coming!" Faiz assured them.
But then from behind the bomb, an Orphnoch jumps over it and jumps to Faiz and smashes onto him, sending Faiz rolling on the ground. Faiz soon stands on his knee and foot, as the Orphnoch that had attacked him jumps in front of Faiz.
"That's far enough, Faiz."
The Orphnoch standing in front of Faiz, was based around a grasshopper with the head of one while having the legs of one as well, and has three fingers on his hands. This is the Grasshopper Orphnoch.
"An Orphnoch...just what I needed." Faiz said in sarcasm.
"That's good to hear. So let's get down to business!" The Grasshopper Orphnoch declared as he jumps at Faiz to attack him again.
Faiz dodges his attack by shoulder rolling on the ground. Faiz quickly stands back up as he pulled out his Phone and entered the code '1-0-6' and 'Enter'.
BURST MODE
Faiz soon changes his Phone to its gun mode, and fired at the Grasshopper Orphnoch, he easily dodges his gunfire by jumping around him.
This frustrated Faiz as the Orphnoch kept dodging his gunfire, before the Grasshopper Orphnoch jumps at Faiz and bashes on his back, sending Faiz rolling forward on the ground before he soon stops and stands back up.
Faiz clicks his tongue before he inserted his Phone back into his Belt, as he still has his eyes on the Grasshopper Orphnoch as he still continues to jump around him.
"This is really starting to get frustrating…" Faiz mutters before his vision starting to become blurry and he becomes a little light headed, he soon snaps out of it as he shook his head. "Come on, Kazuto! Focus!"
Then the Grasshopper Orphnoch jumps to Faiz's back and attack him forcing him to stumble forward, before Faiz turns around to punch the Orphnoch but he dodges his attack as he jumps over him and kicks on Faiz's back again, and Faiz turns around to kick at the Orphnoch but he dodges his attack once again by jumping backward before the Grasshopper Orphnoch jumps around Faiz once again.
"Hahaha!" The Grasshopper Orphnoch laughs at Faiz. "Looks like you're no match against my superior jumping skills, Faiz! At this rate you'll never be able to disarm the bomb and save your friends!"
"Yeah, we'll see about that…" Faiz said before he turns at Auto Vaijin. "Hey, Auto! Are you going to sit there all day?!"
"Of course not, I was just thinking on how to make my grand entrance." Auto Vaijin said before it transforms into Battle Mode.
BATTLE MODE
Auto Vaijin soon flies to the sky and fires upon the Grasshopper Orphnoch using his Buster Wheel. The Grasshopper Orphnoch manage to dodge a few of Auto Vaijin's gun fires, but the support mecha manage to land a few hits on the Orphnoch, before he was sent rolling on the ground.
Auto Vaijin then lands beside Faiz, and Faiz soon pulls out his sword from his robotic partner.
Faiz then removes his Mission Memory and inserted it into his sword.
READY
Faiz then pressed on the 'Enter' button on his Phone.
EXCEED CHARGE
Faiz readies his sword as energy travels into it, and just when the Grasshopper Orphnoch stands back up, Faiz soon sends an energy wave at the Orphnoch and when it hits on him, the Grasshopper Orphnoch was now trapped in a tube cage prison.
Faiz soon runs at the Grasshopper Orphnoch and slashes on him two times, destroying the Orphnoch as he exploded and soon turns to dust.
With the Grasshopper Orphnoch now taken care of, Faiz soon runs to his friends and the bomb to disarm it, and to check on his friends.
"You guys alright?" Faiz asked and they answered by nodding, and Faiz soon turns his attention back to the bomb and pulls out it's panel to reveal it's four colored wires.
"Kazuto, just what is going on here?" Haruhiko asked.
"I don't know." Faiz said as he pulled out the wires to disarmed the bomb. "And even if I did, I don't have time to explain."
Faiz soon pulls out the red wire last, which disarmed the bomb as the timer turned off, and Haruhiko and Reina to sigh in relief.
Faiz then cuts his friends free using his sword to cut the ropes, before they stand back up.
"Haruhiko! Reina-chan!" They look and saw Ruru flying to Haruhiko to hug on his cheek, much to Haruhiko's annoyance. "I'm so glad you two are safe! I've been so worried!"
"Yeah, right!" Haruhiko stated as he pushed Ruru off of him. "I know you were hiding nearby, while waiting for the danger to pass."
"That's not true! I really was looking for you!" Ruru told him as she pouted.
"Now, now, calm down you two." Reina told them.
Faiz quietly chuckles before he shook his head and heads to Auto Vaijin, his friends saw him walking away before they followed behind him.
"Kazuto-kun, wait! Where are you going?" Reina asked.
"I'm going to save Mai, and I don't have much time left." Faiz said before he pressed the button on Auto Vaijin's chest to change him into his vehicle mode.
VEHICLE MODE
"But what about Kurumi?" Haruhiko asked.
"Don't worry, Kiba's going to save her and Koito." Faiz said as he inserted his Faiz Edge into his bike.
"Koito-san? She's been captured too?" Reina asked a little surprised.
"I don't have time to explain. I need get going." Faiz said as he sits on his bike and was ready to drive to Mai's location.
"Wait!" Haruhiko calls out which made Faiz turned to him. "What are you going to do, after you save Mai-senpai?"
"What do you think? After that I'm going to continue hunting down the King." Faiz told him.
"So you're just going to up and leave us again?" Haruhiko asked.
"Your point, Haruhiko!" Faiz exclaimed loudly, which causes Reina and Ruru to flinch as they hug each other.
"My point is that you shouldn't be pushing us away. I mean we're friends, aren't we?" Haruhiko asked.
"Yeah well, I did pushed you away." Faiz said before he drives forward to Mai's location.
As Faiz was leaving, his friends, Haruhiko, Reina, and Ruru had sadden looks on their faces. Haruhiko slightly frowned as he grips his fist before he runs after Faiz.
"Wait, Haruhiko-kun!" Reina called out as she and Ruru followed behind him.
(Back with Orga)
Orga and the Bat Orphnoch clashed their blades against each other, as the two were now in a sword locked. Soon Orga was able to push his sword forward which in turn pushed the Bat Orphnoch's swords backward and Orga slashed on the Orphnoch multiple times before his last slashed sends the Bat Orphnoch rolling on the ground.
"It's over!" Orga stated, before he pressed on the 'Enter' button on his Phone.
EXCEED CHARGE
Energy travels to Orga's sword before it soon created the huge crescent silhouette, and Orga soon slashed his sword down at the Bat Orphnoch, cutting through his body before the Orphnoch exploded as he turns to dust.
After the Bat Orphnoch was now taken care of, Orga then runs to his friends Kurumi and Koito and the bomb.
Orga first rips off the panel, and soon pulls out the wires in the order Faiz had thought him, first the blue wires, then the yellow wire, and lastly the red wire, and after he pulled out the red wire the bomb turned off.
Orga sighed in relief, before he used his sword to cut the rope around his friends to set them free as they stand up.
"You two alright?" Orga asked as Koito removed the gag on her mouth and Kurumi picks up Albrecht.
"Yeah, I'm fine. Don't worry." Koito told him.
"I'm okay...but Albrecht…" Kurumi said in worry as she couldn't remove the tape on her bear.
"Let me see him." Orga said as he offered his hand to Kurumi, and Kurumi complied as she handed her stuff bear to him.
Orga then used his sword to carefully cut the tape of Albrecht to set him free, and after he was done Orga handed the bear back to Kurumi, who hugs Albrecht in joy.
"Thank you, Kiba-san!" Kurumi told him.
"It's no problem, Kurumi-chan." Orga chuckles as he petted on her hand, before he stands up. "Anyway, we should get going! We need to go help, Inui!"
Orga walks to Mai's location, Koito and Kurumi follows behind him.
"Wait he's back? Since when?" Koito asked.
"I'll explain on the way." Orga told her.
Faiz soon arrives at Mai's location as he stops, and saw it was an incomplete building that was abandoned in the middle of construction.
Faiz then got off of his bike and runs inside the building to search for Mai.
Mai was on the very top floor of the building, when she woke up, she tries to break free from the ropes around her but had no success.
"Man just what is with this rope?" Mai said in frustration, she then turns to the bomb and saw there were only 12 minutes left. "Dang it...I hope that the others are alright."
She then heard someone running up the stairs, which made her look and her eyes widen as she saw it was Faiz.
"Mai!" Faiz said as he runs to her.
"Kazuto-kun?" Mai said in shock before she noticed a figure standing on top of a metal beam above Faiz, before he jumps to Faiz to attack him. "Look out!"
Faiz stops before he turns around and saw it was Leo heading towards him, before he dodges his attack by rolling on the floor. Then Faiz and Leo looked at each other as Faiz stands back up.
"You again?" Faiz said as he glares at Leo.
"You really didn't expect that it will end this easy, did you?" Leo asked before he brought out the Psyga Gear and puts it on, and soon he brings out the Psyga Phone, and enters the code '3-1-5' and 'Enter'.
STANDING BY
"Henshin!" Leo shouted as he inserts his Phone into his Belt.
COMPLETE
Blue neon lights come out his Belt and surrounds his body, before Leo transformed into Kamen Rider Psyga, and he also has a jetpack on his back which was colored in his colors, this is the Flying Attacker.
Psyga soon flies into the air using his jetpack, which surprised Faiz.
"Well that's new." Faiz said.
Then Psyga fires upon using the rifle on his Flying Attacker, and Faiz dodges his gunfire by rolling on the floor.
Faiz soon pulls out his Phone, and enters the code '1-0-3' and 'Enter'.
SINGLE MODE
Faiz fires at Psyga with a continuous beam, but the White Rider dodges his laser shot with a barrel roll, and Psyga charges at Faiz and smashes through him, and Psyga soon lands behind Faiz.
Psyga then throws a few punches at him, and Faiz manage to dodge his punches, and soon punches back at Psyga, but he manages to easily dodge and parry his punches before Psyga catches Faiz's next punch by grabbing on his wrist.
Psyga then slowly twisted Faiz's arm around before he punches on Faiz's head a few times and then he lets go of his wrist and kicks Faiz on the chest sending him flying before he lands on the floor.
"What's wrong, Faiz? I expected more from you!" Psyga said as he flies in the air again, and Faiz soon stands on one knee and foot.
"You're not the only one who has air superiority." Faiz said before he picked up his Phone and enters the code '5-8-2-1' and 'Enter'.
AUTO VAIJIN COME CLOSER
Soon Auto Vaijin in Battle Mode flies to the top of the building, and chased after Psyga.
"Oh yeah, I'd almost forgotten about that thing." Psyga said.
Soon Auto Vaijin fires upon the enemy Rider, using his Buster Wheel, but Psyga manage to dodge his gunfire with ease, before he turns around and fired back at Auto Vaijin, and landed a few good hits on him before Auto Vaijin was sent crashing to the floor near to Faiz.
"Auto!" Faiz said in worry before he runs to check on his mecha partner, who was sitting back up before Faiz knelt down to him. "You okay?"
"Yes...systems are still in the green…" Auto Vaijin mutters before he and Faiz stands back up.
Faiz then saw the bomb was now counting down to 8 minutes, and then he saw Psyga flying above both him and Auto Vaijin.
"What's wrong? Worry about the time, don't worry, you still have around 8 minutes left!" Psyga said before he fires upon both Faiz and Auto Vaijin.
Auto Vaijin quickly reacted and block his gunfire using his Buster Wheel to protect him and Faiz.
"This isn't looking good, Kazuto." Auto Vaijin told his partner.
"Yeah I know. You don't have to…" Faiz said before he started to feel light headed again, which Auto Vaijin notices.
"Kazuto? Are you alright?" Auto Vaijin asked in worry, before Faiz shook his head to wake himself up.
"Yeah of course I am. Anyway, I think I have a plan. Think you can bring him down to me?" Faiz asked, and Auto Vaijin understood what he has plan before he nodded.
"Of course!" Auto Vaijin told him before he flies into the air and charged at Psyga and soon fires upon the White Rider.
"Oh please this again?" Psyga said before he dodges Auto Vaijin's gunfire, and soon both Psyga and Auto Vaijin chased after each other as they fire at each other as well.
Auto Vaijin now chased behind Psyga, who was now forced to fly above the floor of the building they were flying above as he fires at him, and Psyga dodges his gunfire.
"Oh come on! Do you really think you can shoot me down?" Psyga said before…
READY
Psyga's eyes slightly widened under his helmet, before he turns his head forward and saw he was flying towards Faiz unintentionally, as he was now armed with his Faiz Shot with his Mission Memory inserted into it.
Faiz quickly pressed on the 'Enter' button on his Phone.
EXCEED CHARGE
Energy travels to Faiz's Shot, as he punches at Psyga, and it was too late to dodge it for Psyga, as Faiz's punch connected on his face, which made a small explosion as Psyga was now sent flying backwards before he crashed into a wall behind.
Psyga manage to slowly stand on his knees and one hand as he glares at Faiz, who was now removing his Faiz Shot.
"Okay, I'll admit...that was pretty clever…" Psyga mutters.
"Just who are you? And what are you after?" Faiz asked.
"Oh don't worry...all will be revealed in due time...but first…" Psyga said as he brought out his handheld device. "You have a girl to save…"
Psyga pressed a button on his device, and Faiz turns around saw the timer on the bomb had now drop from 7 minutes to 20 seconds. Faiz turns around to get the device from Psyga, but soon saw that he was now gone, which surprised Faiz.
Having no time to waste on searching for Psyga, Faiz quickly runs to Mai and quickly broke the ropes in half to free Mai.
"Mai, are you okay?" Faiz asked.
"Yeah…" Mai nodded before she and Faiz turns to the bomb. "But the bomb…?"
The timer was now at 10 seconds.
"No time to disarm it...Auto!" Faiz calls out, which gotten his mecha partner's attention. "I need you to catch, Mai!"
"Wait, what do you mean by that~!" Mai said before Faiz picks her up and throws her over the edge of the building, and Auto Vaijin, soon catches her in time before she could fall to the ground below.
Faiz soon runs to Auto Vaijin and Mai to jump off the building, but was too late as the bomb's timer reaches zero and soon exploded, and the shockwave from the blast, sends Faiz flying across the floor before the explosion destroyed the entire building, taking Faiz with him as he was caught by the falling debris.
"Kazuto-kun!" Mai cries out as the building crumbles to the ground.
After the explosion had died down, Auto Vaijin soon lands on the ground as he let's go of Mai as she now stands on the ground and stares at the rubble of the destroyed building.
"Mai-senpai!" Mai and Auto Vaijin looks and saw her friends running to her.
"Minna…" Mai mutters before Reina hugs her.
"I'm so glad you're alright." Reina said in relief.
"Anyway, where's Inui?" Orga asked before he changed back into Kiba,
Tears begin to form on the edge of Mai's eyes before she lowered her head. The others blinked before they turned at the rubble that was in front of them, and soon realized what had happened.
"N-No it can't be…" Haruhiko said in denial.
"No way...Kazu-chi...he can't be dead…" Ruru mutters in shock.
Kurumi begins to cry as she fell on her knees.
The others were about to cry as well, before they heard movement from the rubble, which made them look and saw a pile of rubble was indeed moving before they were pushed to the ground, and coming out of the rubble was none other than Faiz, with his armor slightly damage along with a broken eye lense.
His friends were surprised by this as Faiz slowly walks to them, before he changes back into Kazuto.
"Kazuto-kun!" Mai cries out in joy before she runs to him and hugs him before she and Kazuto falls to the ground.
"Ow…" Kazuto groan in pain.
"You're alive…" Mai cries out as she sheds tears of joy. "I'm so glad you're alive…"
Kazuto turned his eyes sideways a few times before he petted her on the back.
"I-I'm sorry...for worrying you like that…" Kazuto said.
After Mai wipes away her tears, she and Kazuto soon stands back up, and Kazuto walks to Auto Vaijin.
"Wait, Kazuto!" Mai said as she grabs onto his arm, which made Kazuto turned at her. "Where do you think you're going?"
"You should know the answer to that...I'm going back out there to search for the King." Kazuto answered as he looks down.
"So you're just going to up and leave us again?" Mai asked.
"That's right…" Kazuto said before he grabs onto Mai's hand to remove it from his arm. "Let go of me, Mai…"
"No way...I'm not going to let you go this time." Mai told him. "I'm not going to allow you to throw away your happiness."
"Stop it...This isn't about me!" Kazuto exclaimed. "This is to protect the world, and to make sure you and the others are safe!"
"You don't have to worry about us!" Mai exclaimed back, which cause Kazuto to blink before Mai pulls him in for a hug. "You don't have to protect us all the time...Just at least share your burdens with us…"
"B-But Mai...you know I can't do that…" Kazuto mutters.
"Well I'm asking you to. Because I'm not letting you go, and I don't want you to leave us...You need us just as much as we need you." Mai said.
"She's right." Kazuto looks and saw Haruhiko placed his hand on his shoulder. "We're friends, and you shouldn't keep pushing us away like this."
"I agree." Reina said as she walks to Kazuto's side. "You once told me, that I belong to your side with the others, so you should do the same as well."
Kazuto eyes slightly widened before tears begin to form on the edge of them before he lowers his head.
"Is it...is it really okay for me to stay and be happy like this?" Kazuto asked.
"Of course it is." Mai assured him.
Kazuto then begins to cry on her chest as Mai continues to hug him close.
"There, there, let it out." Mai told him as she rubs on his back.
Kurumi, and Kiba smiled at them, and Koito turns her back at them to hide the smile on her face. But Kiba secretly frown by Leo's actions in all of this.
(Later)
Leo had contacted Kiba, to meet up in their usual meeting spot. Leo was leaning on the wall, before he saw Kiba walking towards him.
"Hey, Kiba. I guess the plan worked like a charm-!" Leo started before Kiba grabs him on the collar and slams onto the wall on the other side.
"What's wrong with you, Leo?!" Kiba exclaimed. "Involving Koito and the others like that was one thing, but taking Kurumi-chan as a hostage as well...Just what the hell were you thinking?!"
Leo sighed as he raised his hands.
"Kiba relaxed...I only did what I thought was right to bring Faiz back to this city. But I'm sorry you weren't happy with this, I guess I should have consulted with you about this. But you should know the old saying, in order to deceive one's enemies you must deceive one's allies." Leo told him.
"Fine...Just as long as you learn from this." Kiba said as he let's go of Leo. "Anyway, you said that Dark Decade have a new mission for us in this world."
"Yeah, he did. You see according to his network here, he learned that there's a special and powerful Phantom here." Leo told him.
"Okay, but what makes this Phantom so special?" Kiba asked.
"Well from what he told me, this Phantom's name is Enigma and apparently she has the power to steal the powers of special ability users." Leo explained which surprised Kiba.
"Are you serious?" Kiba asked.
"Deathly so. And Dark Decade wants us to find her, and try to convince her to become our ally in this world." Leo told him.
"And how do we do that?" Kiba asked.
"You can leave that part to me." Leo told him as he placed his hand on Kiba's shoulder. "For now, you just keep on having an eye on Faiz and his little friends, okay?"
"Fine...but you better keep me in the loop this time." Kiba told him.
"Don't worry I will." Leo said as he patted his shoulder, before he leaves.
Kiba watches his partner leaving the area, and while wondering if he should keep following his lead. Before Kiba shook his head.
"Don't worry about that. Just focus on the mission like you always do." Kiba said before he leaves as well.
To Be Continued…The Successor of Kaixa
There you have it hope you like it. Review to tell me what you think of the story.
