Episode 5: 333 Delta

As Yuji sped down the street, several needles came raining down on the pair.

"Kyaaa," Yumi screamed.

"What's going on?" Yuji yelled.

He then popped a wheelie and the bike screeched to a halt in front of them was a tall, lanky man wearing a white leather jacket and pants, and had long black hair, and an eye patch over his left eye.

"Yo," the man greeted sinisterly.

"Who are you, and what do you want," Yuji demanded.

"You don't need to know who we are," the man dismissed. "As for what we want... We want that fancy belt of yours, Faiz."

Yuji's eyes widened with horror as Yumi was as equally surprised.

"Y-Yuji-sempai..." she stuttered. "What does he mean?"

Before Yuji could answer the question, an Orphenoch, that looked like a spider, appeared behind them, armed with a spiked chakrum.

"Yumi, run," Yuji ordered.

"I'm too scared, sempai..."

The spider Orphenoch shot webbing from its mouth and ensnared Yumi, pulling her off the Ebon Vajin and into its arms.

"Sempai!"

"No, Yumi!" Yuji called. He charged at the man with sword drawn and slashed down, but the man merely blocked with a forearm and kicked Yuji in the gut, sending him flying into a store's window.

"Ha ha ha ha," the man laughed, "If you wanna see your girlfriend again, bring the belt to the docks in Satellite at midnight. I'll be waiting." The man disappeared as quickly as he appeared.

Yuji crawled out from the broken window and growled.

"Damn it..." he cursed. He then took out his phone and dialed a number. "This is agent Faiz. We have a situation..."

Opening Theme - Justifaiz

Multiple pixels merge together to resemble Kamen Rider Faiz.

Scene shifts to the Ebon Vajin in it's Battle Mode as Two red lines vertically go across the screen to show eight frames of Faiz in different poses.

Hirogau uchukyuno naka Can you feel?
The widening space, Can you feel?

Yuji stands back to back with Kamen Rider Faiz, looking to each other from opposite directions.

Chiisa na hoshino hanashiwo shiyo
Let's talk about the star.

Jasmine walks through the street and turns to look through a window, only to see Kamen Rider Kaixa in her reflection looking back at her.

Tell me the truth, shinjitetami naika?
Tell me the truth, don't you want to believe?

Three Orphenochs, resembling a humanoid horse, a crane, and a lion, stand back to back in a delta formation prepared to fight against rogue Orphenochs.

Kuzureao wo to shitteru
I know it's falling apart even more.

Rachel is seen with Kamen Rider Delta and the two wave hello, while Rachel wears a large smile on her face.

Kanashimiwo, kurikaeshi
The pain, just turn it back.
Bokurawa doko e yukuno daro?
Where am I going to go?

Faiz fights an Orphenoch, resembling a dragon, with his handle bar energy sword. The two jump back and Faiz charges at the Dragon Orphenoch.

Imma hitori hitori no mune no naka,
Now within one's own heart,
Mewo samaseda, Time to go!
Open your eyes, Time to go!

Four Orphenochs, resembling a crocodile, a lobster, a mantis, and the Dragon Orphenoch charge at Faiz, Kaxa and Delta.

Tsuyokuaru tameni
For the sake of being strong.

Faiz speeds down the streets on the Ebon Vajin and arrives next to Yusei, Jack, Crow, and Aki on their D-Wheels.

Matta mamoru koto to tataku koto,
Either to protect or to fight,

Yumi is then surrounded by a flock of blue winged butterflies as the scene shifts to a large Orphenoch with horns charges at Faiz.

Jiremunwa owaranai hashirisusuketemo,
The dilemma will never end, even if your runt,

Faiz attaches the Faiz Pointer to his leg and presses ENTER on his phone, allowing the red photon energy to travel to his leg, and leaps into the air. The photon energy drill appeared and Faiz jumped into it with his right foot extended out to kick, facing the camera as a bright light red light shines, entering into the Title Card.

(The) End Justifiaz The Means!

Kamen Rider 555D's

Smart Brain HQ...

Aki ran through the halls to the infirmary, and found her son Yuji being bandaged up by a young woman with long black hair, gold eyes, and wearing a doctor's coat.

"Yuji!" Aki called as she ran to the bed.

Yuji turned to see his mother at the door and gave a weak smile, "Kaa-san..."

Aki quickly pulled her son into a hug, "Are you alright? What happened?"

Before he could answer, Yusei, Jasmine, Yuki, Rachel and Crow came bursting through the door, with Nekoi following behind.

"Yuji, what happened?" Nekoi demanded, "Where's Yumi?"

Yuji hung his head down, "Gomen... Omura-san. I was bringing Yumi home, when we were attacked by monsters."

Nekoi looked at Yuji strangely, "Monsters?"

"They're called Orphenochs, Nekoi," Yusei clarified as he and Crow enterd the room.

Yuki walked over to her brother and held him tightly, "Gomenasai, Onii-sama. I should've been more aware of what was going to happen."

Yuji shook his head, "It's not your fault, Yuki. I didn't keep my guard up."

"But still," Nekoi interjected, "Who would want to kidnap my daughter?"

"It's not Yumi they're after," Jasmine corrected.

"Then who?"

"I believe I can answer that."

Everyone looks to the door and see Haruaki. "How are you feeling, Yuji-kun?"

"I'm feeling better, Shachou, thanks to Shino-san."

"Luckily, you didn't have many injuries," Shino smiled, "So it was easy to heal you, Yuji-kun."

"Glad to hear it," Haruaki smiled before casting a serious look. "So, what do the assailants want?"

Yuji returned the serious look with one of his own, "They want Faiz's belt."

Silence hit the room like a ton of bricks.

Jasmine was the first to speak, "Faiz's belt..."

Haruaki gave a thoughtful look, "Whoever we're dealing with is certainly ambitious."

Rachel put her hands to her waist, "Hah! Well, good luck to them, cuz there's no way they're gonna get Faiz's belt! Right, Yu-chan?" Yuji didn't answer. "Yu-chan?"

Yuki looked at her twin questionably, "Onii-sama, What's wrong?"

Yuji was silent before answering, "I don't know what to do, Yuki, but Yumi's in trouble and I only have until midnight to save her." He quickly got up and walked out of the infirmary, before anyone could say a word.

"Yuji, wait," Aki pleaded, before Yusei put a hand on his shoulder, stopping her. "Yusei?"

"Let him go," Yusei advised, "He knows what he's doing."

Crow gave a thumb's up, "Yeah! The kid's tough! Just like his old man!"

Aki wasn't convinced. "But what if he gets ambushed? Or hurt? Or killed!"

Haruaki turned to the girls, "Yuki-kun, Jasmine-kun, Rachel-kun, could you follow Yuji-kun from a distance? If he gets into trouble, you can step in."

The teen girls saluted, "Yes Sir!" and left the infirmary.

Haruaki then turned to Nekoi, "Now, Omura-san, I think an explanation is in order," he said as he guided the pub owner to his office.

Crow, Aki, and Yusei were left in the infirmary with Shino.

"Yusei," Aki spoke, "I'm worried."

"I understand, Aki," Yusei nodded, "But they're strong kids. They'll be watching each other's backs."

At this time, Stardust Dragon's spirit rose emerged from Yusei's body, in the form of an old, but muscular, man with long silver hair and yellow eyes, wearing silver armor.

"Fear not, Aki-sama," Stardust assured, "The younglings are strong."

(A/N: Stardust Dragon's seiyuu would be Nakata Joji)

Then Black Rose appeared out of Aki's body, in the form of a beautiful woman with black hair in two buns and braids, red eyes, and wearing a crimson red dress under black armor.

"That's right, Aki," Rose added. "After all, he IS your son."

(A/N: Black Rose Dragon's seiyuu would be Yukino Satsuki)

Aki nodded and surrendered to the dragons' logic. That still didn't mean she wasn't worried.

Satellite Harbor, 11:00 P.M., inside an abandoned warehouse...

The kidnapper was sitting on a crate, waiting for Yuji to show up. He held a manic grin on his face. On another crate, sat a young man, wearing a cap and headphones, listening to rap music and making origami cranes.

"Almost time," the man snickered.

Yumi was hanging from a crane, wrapped in chains.

"Why are you doing this?" she called from above. "What did Yuji-sempai ever to you?"

"I tell you!" the man yelled back. "He's been killing off our comrades!"

Yumi's eyes widened, but she shook her head, "You're lying! Sempai wouldn't hurt anyone!"

The man looked to the door of the warehouse and sneered, "Then why don't you ask him yourself."

Yumi turned her body slightly to face the door and saw Yuji. He was dressed in a black bodysuit, dark blue armored gloves and boots, and a medal of a black "S" and a silver "B" rested on the left side of his chest. He was carrying a briefcase that had Smart Brain's logo.

"Yuji-sempai!" she exclaimed happily.

The man grinned, "So. you decided to show up."

"I have the belt," Yuji said, holding up the briefcase.

"Toss it to the center of the room."

Yuji did as told and slid the brief case on the floor. "You got what you want, now let her go!"

The man laughed maniacally, "Unfortunately, it's not that simple, kid!"

That's when dozens of Orphenochs emerged from the shadows and surrounded Yuji. They were different species of insects and they glared at Yuji with murderous intent.

"Yuji-sempai!" Yumi gasped.

"Double cross, big surprise..." Yuji muttered.

"See, we've got orders to kill you, too," the leader grinned before snapping his fingers.

The insectoid Orphenochs charged at Yuji, ready to reduce him to ashes. However, Yuji unsheathed a katana from out of nowhere and began slashing away at the Orphenochs, sparks flying off their bodies. The katana's steel was apparently strong if it was able to hack of some limbs.

"What are you dumb-asses doing?" the man yelled, "He's just a fucking human!"

Yuji blocked another strike to his head from a Wasp Orphenoch's stinger and slashed off another arm. "Actually, you should get your facts straight," he grinned. He thrust his palm forward and sent a blast of psychic energy at a few Orphenochs, hurling them into several crates.

"What the fuck?" the leader cursed.

Yuji sheathed his sword and pulled out his duel disk and slapped it on. He then drew a card and placed it on the Monster Card Zone. "I Summon Great Shogun Shien!" A ring of fire exploded from the ground and Shien emerged from the flames. Shien drew his sword and began cutting down Orphenochs, left and right.

"Your a Psychic Duelist!"

"Got that right," Yuji grinned as he placed more cards. "I Summon Zanji, Irou, Nisashi, and Yaichi of the Six Samurai!" The Samurai monsters emerged from their own portals of light, darkness, wind, and water, respectively, and charged into battle. Nisashi and Irou hacked and slashed with their swords while Zanji attacked with his naginata. Yaichi stood at a distance, sniping Orphenochs with his yumi and arrows. However, the more Orphenochs they fought back, more showed up to take their place. It was a literal swarm. Unfortunately, the Samurai monsters were overtaken and they shattered into shards of light, leaving Yuji and Shien in a corner.

The insect Orphenochs slowly closed in on the two samurai as the leader jumped in front of them, with his casual grin.

"Looks like you need a lesson in manners," he sneered before snapping his fingers. The chain holding Yumi snapped and she plummeted to the concrete floor below.

"Kyaaa!" she screamed.

"NO!" Yuji screamed.

All of a sudden, a bike crashed through the the front door and another crashed through the window, the rider catching the falling Yumi. The other bike ran through several Orphenochs, breaking the ring around Yuji and Shien.

"Who the fuck are you guys?" the leader exploded.

The moonlight from the broken window shun down on the bikes, revealing the X-Basher and Beast Slinger. Their drivers were Jasmine, Rachel, and Yuki in the X-Basher's side car.

Jasmine wore a dark purple bodysuit with gold armored gloves and matching boots, a gold "X" stamped in the center of her chest, and the "SB" medal on her left breast. Around her waist was a familiar silver and yellow belt. Strapped to her back was her claymore.

Rachel wore a black tube top and black skirt, with an orange vest and matching gloves and boots. The "SB" emblem was also on her vest. Around her waist was silver belt with a delta symbol on the front, and a camcorder attached to the right side of the belt.

Yuki wore a blue tank top, combat boots, and ripped jean shorts. A pair of Desert Eagles hung from the holsters underneath her arms.

"Jasmine, Rachel, Yuki!" Yuji exclaimed, "You're here!"

"Of course we are, Yuji," Jasmine said.

"After all," Rachel added, "what are friends for?"

"We are more than that," Yuki said as she got out of the side car and pulled out her Desert Eagles. "We're family, and family always sticks together."

Jasmine pulled out a black phone, with a yellow "X" on it, dialed 9-1-3, and pressed Enter.

"Standing By!" a deep, mechanical, voice called from the phone.

"Henshin!" Jasmine called as she inserted the phone into her belt's open front compartment

"Complete!"

Yellow lines traced along Jasmine's body before she was donned in the armor of Kaixa.

Yumi, still conscious, gasped, "Jasmine-sempai is Kaixa?"

"That's not all," Rachel winked before she out a device, resembling the grip of a gun but had a speaker and antenna like a walkie-talkie. She held it up to her mouth and spoke into it, "Henshin!"

"Standing By!" the grip spoke.

Rachel then twirled it around her before attaching it to the camcorder.

"Complete!"

White energy streams then stretched out all over his body and made a pattern before there was a flash of light. The Orphenochs all covered their eyes from the bright flash. When the light subsided, they were now looking at another armored figure.

The entire armoured suit was black with the white lines decorating it in an intricate pattern. The shoulders were broad and wing-like and the helmet had a pair of orange eyes. It had antennae too, extending from an inverted triangle on the forehead of the helmet.

Yumi bugged, "You too?"

"You can call me Delta," Rachel waved.

The boy sitting on the crate and looked up. He smirked and walked up to Delta. He held up an origami crane and took a lighter to it, lit it on fire, and dropped to the floor as it burned. "Time to play," he grinned before white markings appeared on his face and turned into the Spider Orphenoch.

"You dumbass!" the leader yelled. "Run, Sawada!"

Sawada didn't hear him as he charged in blindly.

With a fluid motion, Delta took her Delta Blaster in hand and spoke into it again, "Fire."

"Burst Mode!"

She aimed and fired at the Spider Orphenoch, releasing a barrage of blasts upon the Orphenoch and causing him to stagger back. Delta then removed the Mission Memory from her belt and slid it into her Delta Blaster. The barrel extended further.

Ready!"

"Kick," she commanded.

"Exceed Charge!"

She then fired toward the Spider Orphenoch and the blast turned into cone which paralyzed him. Delta leaped into the air and extended her foot, flying into the cone. It drilled into the Orphenoch and Delta from behind. The Spider Orphenoch exploded in blue flames and crumbled to dust as a glowing delta symbol hung over the ashes and disappeared.

Kaixa took advantage of the situation and drew her claymore in her right hand and her Kaixa Blaygun in her left. She opened fired on more Orphenochs, resulting in their quick destruction. It turned into a slaughter fest as Kaixa began blasting and chopping off heads with her two weapons.

During the confusion Yuki jumped into a crowd of Orphenochs and began popping off their heads as well, using bullets specially made for killing Orphenochs. When she finished, she took the briefcase and ran over to her brother. "Onii-sama, I have your gear."

Yuji took off his duel disk and Shien disappeared. He opened the case and strapped the belt to his waist. "Arigato, Yuki," he nodded before he opened the phone, dialed 5-5-5 and pressed Enter.

"Standing By!"

Yuji closed the phone and held it in the air. "Henshin!" he called before inserting it into his belt.

"Complete!"

Music - "Dead or Live"

Red lines spread all over his body and in a flash of crimson light he was donned in a suit of powered armor. Its main colouring was black with a silver chest plate. The bodysuit and armor sported the same red lines which had appeared on his body prior to the transformation. Around his forearms were metal bands and the same bands were around his lower legs. A port was set on his right leg. His fingertips were also covered in armor. The shoulders were rounded and his helmet sported a large pair of yellow eyes and a pair of antennae.

Yumi's eyes widened at the revelation that her seniors were the Riders of Duel Academy that she's heard so much about. She was especially surprised to find out that Yuji was Faiz.

Yuki then tossed a black and red watch to Faiz and he caught it. "What's this?" he asked.

"A new weapon that Otou-sama just completed," Yuki answered. "He wanted to give it to you, but you ran off before he could say anything."

Yuji sweat-dropped under his helmet. "Arigato..." he said before snapping the watch onto his left wrist and got some distance between himself and the Orphenochs and slipped the Mission Memory into his Faiz Pointer before attaching it to his leg.

"Ready!"

Before anything else, he slid the Mission Memory on the watch out and slid it onto the Faiz Phone.

"Complete!"

The red photon streams on his suit flashed before turning silver and then his chest plate split open and relocated to his shoulders to reveal a red core and circuitry on his chest. The yellow eyes also turned to red.

There were a few more Orphenochs hanging around and Faiz was planning to fish them off with one hit... at least that what it would look like.

Faiz opened his phone and pressed Enter.

"Exceed Charge!"

He then pressed a button on the watch and activated it.

"Start Up!"

Faiz then disappeared from sight. The Orphenochs looked around but didn't notice as several red energy cones appeared above them before they dropped down and impaled them. The Orphenochs howled out before they exploded and crumbled to dust.

"Time Out!"

Faiz then reappeared and looked toward the leader.

"Deformation!"

Faiz's suit shifted back to it's default setting.

The leader was pissed now. A bunch of kids just took out his entire force in just a few minutes.

"You're gonna pay for that!" he roared as white marking appeared on his face and he shifted to his Orphenoch form. It was the same height as his human form, had gray, insect-like limbs, gray organic armor, covering his body, and he had four arms with hands with sharp claws. His head was also insectoid, like a mantis, and he had large insect wings. Two horns protruded from his head to look like a crescent moon sticking out of his head. Meet the Mantis Orphenoch.

"I'm gonna rip you to pieces," the Mantis Orphenoch hissed before flying at Faiz and the others.

However, the Ebon Vajin, in it's Battle Mode, flew through the door and opened fired on the Mantis Orphenoch with its gatling wheel. When it set down, Yuji took his original Mission Memory and slid into the handle bar of his robot bike.

"Ready!"

Faiz pulled out the handle a glowing red blade extended from it. Yuji readied himself as the Mantis Orphenoch charged and swung his scythe arms. Faiz and the Mantis Orphenoch parried each other's blows and danced around each other, carefully dodging one another's strikes. Faiz ducked a strike and struck the Mantis Orphenoch with an upward slash, sending sparks flying. But the Orphenoch barely budged.

"Ha ha ha," the Mantis Orphenoch laughed. "My skin is the strongest of any Orphenoch in the world! That shitty little sword of yours can't cut me!"

Faiz was about to strike again when swarms of soldiers stormed into the warehouse. They wore black bodysuits, matching boots and gloves, and wore large black helmets. They were also armed with assault rifles.

"Che," the Mantis Orphenoch scoffed, "Guess we'll have to finish this later." He then pointed a scythe hand at Faiz, "Listn up, Faiz! The name is Nnoitora Jiruga! Remember it, cuz that's the last name you'll know before you die!" The Mantis Orphenoch opened his wings and flew out the top sky light, vanishing from sight.

End Music

Faiz deactivated his armor and Yuji was left in his place. He then walked up to Yumi and hugged her.

"I'm glad you're safe," he said, still holding her.

Yumi returned the hug with her own, "Thanks to you, Yuji-sempai."

"C'mon, let's get out of here. I'm sure you want some answers."

After the incident, Yuji and the others went back to Smart Brain HQ. When the teenagers returned, Yumi saw her father and ran to hug him.

"Daddy!" she beamed.

"Yumi!" Nekoi cried, "I was so worried about you!" He then looked over to Yuji, "Thank you, Yuji!"

Yuji shool his head, "It was nothing, Omura-san."

"Guess what dad," Yumi said excitedly, "Yuji-sempai is Faiz!"

Nekoi nodded, "Akai-san filled me in on everything."

Haruaki was at his desk, "So, you must be Omura Yumi-kun, no?"

Yumi bowed, "Yes sir, and it's nice to meet you."

Haruaki returned the greeting. "I suppose you want to know what's going on in Neo Domino City."

"Yeah. Like what those bug guys were."

Music - "Truth" (Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's Sound Duel 2)

"The beings that attacked you are known as Orphenochs."

"Orphenochs?" the Omuras parroted.

Haruaki nodded, "They are humans who are born with a unique gene in their DNA that allows them to revive when they experience death for the first time."

Yumi gasped, "You mean... they're already..."

Haruaki nodded, "Orphenochs are deceased humans. Once they become an Orphenoch, they can assume a kind of animalistic form, varying between each individual. They also become faster and stronger than they were when they were simply human. They gain heightened senses, as well as developing strong psychic shield around their mind. Orphenochs also have the power to sire other humans, turning them into Orphenochs as well."

Yumi gulped, "You mean like vampires...?"

Haruaki chuckled, "In a sense. But the sired humans are not always lucky. If a sired human fails in becoming an Orphenoch, then the alternative is to die, reduced to ashes."

Yumi and her father paled. Yuo either become an Orphenoch or you're dead. Can it get any worse?

"And it gets worse," Haruaki sighed, "An Orphenoch's body changes so rapidly that their body can't keep up with such a transformation. Many of our scientists consider Orphenochs a part of human evolution that comes with a price. Those unlucky to be unable to adapt to the rapid change end up being reduced to ashes themselves."

Yumi was shedding tears now. She was horrified of how Orphenochs were doomed to such a fate. "That's... just horrible," she sobbed.

"Unfortunately, it's a rare genetic trait that is born in few humans so it's almost impossible to treat or reverse. But there are some things that we've learned."

The Omuras raised their heads at this.

"Legend speaks of a "King" among the Orphenochs. It is said that he is able to reverse the break down of Orphenoch bodies, thus saving lives. That why the Gears were created, in order to protect the Orphenoch King and other Orphenochs that wish to hold on to their humanity. They are also meant to punish rogue Orphenochs who attack humans indiscriminately."

Yumi beamed, "So Sempai-tachi are like real-life superheroes!"

Yuji and the others sweat-dropped,

Haruaki laughed at the girls innocence, "I suppose they can be considered as such, considering they protect both humans and Orphans."

"Orphans?"

"It's a codename given to Orphenochs under our protection. We call the other Orphenochs, that attack humans "Rogues." Now, if you'll excuse me, I have some work to do." Haruaki looked to Yuji and the girls, "And you all can file your reports in the morning. It's late, so it's best to get some sleep."

"Yes, sir!" Yuji and the others saluted.

So everyone left Haruaki's office and headed home.

Yuji was with Yumi outside 'My Pleasure." He volunteered to escort the Omuras, so the kidnapping incident doesn't get repeated.

"Gomen, Yumi," Yuji sighed.

Yumi blinked, "Sorry? Why?"

"I've kept being Faiz a secret from you, and you got kidnapped as a result."

Yumi took Yuji's hands and stared into his sapphire-like blue eyes. "Yuji-sempai," she said, "You're a superhero. Secret identities are supposed to be secret." She giggled, "Don't you read comics?"

Yuji blinked, "You mean you're not mad?"

She shook her head, "Just surprised that my boyfriend is a superhero."

"Well, that's good," Yuji sighed. His eyes widened when he thought back to what he heard a second ago. "Wait what-"

He didn't get to finish as Yumi pressed her lips against his, wrapping her arms around her neck. Yuji was caught off and didn't know how to react. He relaxed and closed his eyes, surrendering to the kiss and wrapping his arms around her waist. They stood like that for a minute before Yumi broke the kiss. "I'll see you at school," she winked before running to the front door of the pub. She waved and Yuji waved back, with a blush and smile on his face.

Yuji mounted the Ebon Vajin and sped down the street, heading home. Yumi could've sworn she heard Yuji screaming "WOOHOO!" Yumi giggled as she went inside.

To Be Continued...

Bushido: Nnoitora Jiruga belongs to Tite Kubo. I just thought he would make a good Orphenoch. Please R+R guys! I could REALLY use feedback.
