Koudoutai: The Zodiac Strikes Back

Hello, Readers! We're here now in Chapter 3. Last chapter left a bloody mess, and I this chapter, more are coming. And this time the

Zodiac are going to use diverting tactics as a way of poking fun at our DDS heroes.

Also, last time the Ghosts at School characters made a cameo appearance, so this time, I'll be putting another anime character in for a

one-shot appearance. I know, I know, it's a crossover fic between DSQ and Digimon, but putting in other anime characters for a one-

shot pose wouldn't hurt, right?

Four days after the suicide bombings, the police made unconfirmed announcements that they are still in the process of investigating on

who's responsible for the bombing incidents. Many claimed that it was the work of Al-Qaeda, others say it was the work of a doomsday

cult, while others say it was a sign that it was the end of the world.

At CLAMP School, Takeru assembled Class Q, A, and C at the conference room, along with Principal Dan, CLAMP School Directress

Ohkawa, and the 3 CLAMP School detectives. Takeru then told them his findings. "I believe that this is the work of the Zodiac. During

the explosions, while Angemon was hovering us in the air, Satsuki said that she saw a pair of twins were carrying envelopes and are

heading straight to the gas station, and exploded there. The same goes with Hajime and Momoko, who also told me that before the

explosions, there were several twin persons roaming around the districts, and several minutes later, the district was filled with explosions.

And since were talking about twins…". "…The cause of the twins and the explosions are the handiwork of Futagosa, or Gemini." Ryu

Amakusa finished Takeru's statement. Takeru nodded, while the rest looked at each other with grim expressions, realizing that the Zodiac

are indeed back in Japan following the "Video Game Madness" case a few weeks ago (see Stay Alive).

Twin Attacks part 1

Zodiac HQ, The man who merged with his other twin, came to the conference room in his civilian guise. His name was Shinichi Kido.

The other man whom he merged with was his twin brother, Shinji. As one man, Shinichi has complete control over the thoughts of Shinji,

up to the point of "brainwashing" Shinji into forgetting what happened during the Zodiac operations, and where the Zodiac HQ was.

At the conference room, a few civilians were there, including Ichiko Dan, the younger brother of Principal Dan, who secretly changed his

name to Itsuro Takimazawa. The group's leader, Suichi Kitaoka, was also there. He then made a roll call on the available roster, and

those who were present responded.

"Ohitsujiza (Aries)." "Here".

"Futagoza (Gemini)." "Here".

"Shishiza (Leo)." "Here".

"Sasoriza (Scorpio)." "Here".

"Otomeza (Virgo)." "Here".

Kitaoka nodded as all the available roster who were summoned are here. Kitaoka then informed the available Zodiac members that by

now the DDS students have figured out that the explosion on the Tokyo Business District was the work of Futagoza, so he explained to

them that they'll have to change tactics to keep DDS one or two steps behind, so as to prevent them from getting any leads to get near

them and caused an unwanted confrontation.

Sasoriza then suggested that why not send more twins in disguise as to not attract

attention from DDS and the authorities. Otomeza then suggested that while Futagoza do

this kind of tactics, the rest of the Zodiac will distract DDS and the authorities, so that

they'll be busy and won't notice anything. Futagoza then suggested that he'll target the

Armed Forces HQ, using the controlled twins to disguise them as soldiers, and send them

to assigned targets, and cause them to explode. Kitaoka approved of the suggestions and

sets the plans in motion. The 2nd Digimon Emperor, on the other hand, will send some

Bakimons to lure the real soldiers to a trap, take their uniforms and gave it to Futagoza's

controlled twins. Futagoza nodded and went on with their discussions.

A week later, while classes are going on, Class C were summoned to the conference room by Principal Dan. An unidentified caller claims

that a violet-armored person was seen on the Miyzaki district in Kyushu, and saw a huge cobra disemboweling several fishermen.

"Mizugameza." Ken said, and requested that he and Daisuke would go there at once, while the rest stays here in case the rest of the

Zodiac shows up at other places. Principal Dan agrees and sent Ken and Daisuke off to Kyushu, taking V-Mon and Wormmon with

them. Wormmon then evolved to Stingmon and carried Daisuke and Ken and flew off to Kyushu.

A few minutes later, Principal Dan saw a news footage that a lookalike of Angewomon was thrashing the district of Fukushima, using its

winds to produce gusts of winds, causing several vehicles to overturn and explode. "That's the battle robot of Otomeza! Otomeza is

there!" Takeru shouted, and ordered Patamon to evolve to Angemon and both flew off towards Fukushima. Iori began to wonder why

the Zodiac are attacking separately when they once worked as a unit. His trail of thoughts were disrupted when another news flash came,

and this time it showed footages of To-Rasu and Sasoriza attacking Odaiba. It also showed that To-Rasu used his Final Vent on

Greymon, Garurumon and Ikkakumon, all fallen and reverted back to their original Digimon forms, sustaining injuries, and also showed

the footages of Taichi, Yamato and Jyou being beaten up by both Sasoriza and Shishiza. Both their battle robots, Scorponok and Animus

managed to keep Garudamon and Sora at bay, preventing them from helping Taichi and the rest. Filled with worry over her elder

brother's safety, Hikari and Tailmon, who evolved to Angewomon, left CLAMP School and flew to Odaiba, leaving Iori and Miyako

(and Armadimon and Hawkmon) behind, along with Class Q and A. There they stand by for further instructions from Principal Dan.

At Fukushima, Takeru and Angemon arrived, and Takeru wasted no time in dealing with Otomeza, picking up a bolo knife and clashed

with Otomeza's card reader (the Virgin Visor), which is a rapier. After 5 minutes of sword clashing, Otomeza took a card, and inserted it

into the Virgin Visor. "SWORD VENTO." A naginata appeared and clashed with Takeru's bolo knife, and started to gain ground, as

she handed a few cuts on Takeru's arms and legs. Meanwhile, Angemon and Siren were knocking each other out in the air. And both

were busy, as neither one of them were backing away.

At Kyushu, Daisuke and Ken, along with Stingmon and XV-Mon, arrived, just in time to see Mizugameza ordering Venosnaker to sink

down a vessel carrying oil. As Daisuke was giving Mizugameza a warning, Ken noticed that Ohitsujiza was closing in on them, as he

activated his Final Vent, and Metal-Ohitsu, carrying Ohitsujiza (who was wearing his Strike Vent) like a lance, was cruising towards

the group. XV-Mon covered Daisuke and Ken with his body, while Stingmon made a shield by using silk threads. Although they

managed to shield themselves and their human partners, the impact of Ohitsujiza's Final Vent was too much, and the four heroes were

thrown several meters away, and all were rendered unconscious. Ohitsujiza and Mizugameza stared at the unconscious forms of the DDS

students, and decided to wait for further orders.

To Be Continued

Ok, that was nasty. And a lot foul in their tactics. So, Daisuke and Ken are the first to fall, but what about the rest? Angemon and Takeru

are busy fighting Otomeza and Siren, while Hikari and Angewomon are on their way to Odaiba. Where does this put Iori, Miyako and

the rest of Class Q and A?

Stay tuned, as the fighting ensues.
