Parasite Eve II: Armegedon
A double ambush is currently underway as Kyuu is being confronted by a squadron of ZECT-like troopers who staged a trap for the Class Q leader, intending to eliminate him.
Meanwhile ZECT agents Fujima and Hyuga are also about to meet a similar situation much later within this fic, resulting in a big fight while a new villain makes his debut here, and he'll be as dangerous as Ryoma Echizen and Golem # 9.
Kyuu arrived at a shrine within Mt. Bandai, which is the place where he is supposed to meet Toru, but as several minutes passed by, he was getting a bit impatient, until Toru's voice spoke, and as he turned around, he was shocked as one of the unknown troopers showed up, holding a recorder box where Toru's voice spoke, speaking the same conversation used 40 minutes ago, and the Class Q leader mentally cursed himself for falling for a trick and not confirming everything before leaving.
"What…how did you…?"
As Kyuu stared at the trooper in front of him, he glanced around to see more SWAT-like troopers coming out of the shrine, out of the bushes and within minutes he is surrounded. The Class Q leader then recognized them as the ones who assaulted the Renjou house a week ago, in which the troopers resembled ZECT Troopers, except that their suits are silver colored with blue lines and that their helmets resembled fire ants. All aiming their weapons at him, and he braced himself for any eventuality, knowing that he forgot to bring his cellphone and that he is on his own.

15: Waru no Kamen Raida Hercus
Kyuu kept on staring at the troopers surrounding him, and is now weighing his options as to whether he should use his parasite powers or not, as Maeda told him that should he use his Parasite Energy abusively there is a chance that the Mitochondria cells might find an opening and might try to take over his entire central and nervous systems. But then he has his Orphenoch powers so becoming the Angel Orphenoch might be a safer way to deal with his attackers and maybe this might be the only way out without putting too much risk on himself.
"Okay…I don't want any unwanted violence…tell me what you want and I might grant it…"
Kyuu got a response…a rifle-butt on the back of his head, which sent him staggering forward and he was attacked by other troopers, rifle-butting him on the face, but then as he stood his ground the troopers are ready to open fire, and before he was about to do anything one of the troopers fired a huge device which fastened around his neck and locked itself on. As Kyuu tries to change into his Orphenoch form the collar-like device beeped, preventing Kyuu from assuming this form, much to his surprise.
"Attack successful…now he cannot assume his Orphenoch form…now he's easy to kill…"
"Wait! He can still assume his other form…!"
Indeed, the collar attached to Kyuu served to block his body cells that allows him to assume his Orphenoch form, but it wasn't programmed to prevent him from using his Parasite Energy, and reluctantly, Kyuu assumed his Parasite Form, and flew in the air, snapped the collar off and then reacted immediately by combusting the troopers while firing his energy beans from his eyes, killing about 10 troopers, leaving 30 more to go.
"Can't stay like this for too long…who knows what'll happen…maybe I should changed into the Angel Orphenoch and use my feather darts to paralyze them…that way I can get them to spill out any info they might have had…"
Kyuu then shifted to his Orphenoch form and fired his darts from his "wings", and the darts penetrated the troopers' armored suits, paralyzing them, and leaves 20 more to go, but he had to stay airborne and flew around to avoid the lasers from the troopers' laser rifles, not noticing that a van is hidden behind a thick bush where a "boombox" device is being brought out. This device is the same as the one used a week ago, and now they are ready to activate it.
"Blast! I didn't expect this! Got to fire my darts before that sound wave's reach me!"
The Angel Orphenoch saw this and reacted immediately and fired his feather darts just as the "boombox" fired its sound wave, and Kyuu was struck with the energy wave which disrupts his nervous systems, disorienting him and he fell down on the ground, but his feather darts struck the boombox and it exploded, while hitting ten more troopers, leaving the remaining 10 troopers left. The troopers then approached a disoriented Kyuu, ready to take him down believing that he is too weak to do anything to fight back.
"He's too dizzy to retaliate! This is our chance to get him! Don't give him a chance to recover! Kill him if you have to! Don't feel intimidated! He's just a kid! He won't do anything right now!"
Meanwhile, at ZECT HQ, Tsubasa was carrying his bag containing his clothes and belongings as he stick to his decision to resign from ZECT, and Hyuga and Fujima volunteered to escort him to the Ozora house where his family and teammates from the Japan Soccer Team are waiting, unaware that an ambush is about to take place.
"Are you sure you won't change your mind, Bass?"
"I already give you my answer, Hyuga…and it's final. You should quit too, Hyuga…our new coach is waiting for you…it's not too late…I'm sure you'll find a replacement…"
"Until then, I'll be sticking around with ZECT for a while…"
"Huh? Why are bringing the belt and Beetle Zecter with you?"
"Just in case those unknown troopers might show up and try to get us…and though you're leaving ZECT, at least we'd work together one last time as fellow ZECT agents…because the moment I rejoin the soccer tournament, we might end up in different teams instead of being teammates…that's something you should look forward to…"
"Hyuga…"
As they are outside the gates of ZECT HQ, a large trailer truck appeared out of the blue and out came SWAT-like troopers resembling ZECT Troopers, only in sliver coloring with blue lines, and they are already opening fire. Fujima, Hyuga and Tsubasa hid behind a parked car as the latter two summoned their respective Zecters while Tsubasa fastens the Zecter belt around his waist.
"Well…it's a good thing you brought it along…maybe I'll be Kabuto one last time…"
"Then let's do our signature soccer kicks before this is over!"
"You got it!"
"Save the compliments for later, you two…we got to take out these guys before they managed to infiltrate ZECT HQ! Henshin!"
Fujima reminded the two of the situation at hand as he affixed the Wasp Zecter on the Zecter Brace that was affixed on his left wrist, in which the Wasp Zecter responded to the ex-Shoyo captain's voice command.
Wasp Zecter: "HENSHIN…"
Tachyon-like energy enveloped around Fujima as he is encased in his armored appearance of TheBee, in his "masked" form which he resembles a beehive, and is the first to go and intercept the troopers who opened fire at him. Meanwhile, Tsubasa and Hyuga affixed their Zecters on their Zecter Belts and activated their transformations to assume "masked" forms of Kabuto and Gatack.
Beetle Zecter: "HENSHIN…"
Stag Zecter: "HENSHIN…"
Both Kabuto and Gatack assumed their "Masked" forms which resembles a pair of pupa because of their bulky armors, giving them good defenses but with little offensive capabilities though it was enough for them to take on the intruders, as the troopers' laser rifles did not do a good job of slowing the trio down, but then something went horribly suspicious as the troopers dropped their weapons and slowly turned into Artificial NMCs, their bodies ripped out of their SWAT-like suits and they assumed bigger forms resembling ostrich-like creatures similar to the ones at Akropolis Tower.
TheBee: "Blast! These troopers are NMCs! How did this happened?"
Gatack: "So it's not just Shizuko's DNA that's being used…any one with human DNA are being used to create NMCs that can assume human guises…Fujima, Tsubasa…we have to take them out before they get inside HQ…we'll have to deal with them ourselves!"
Kabuto: "Darn…at a time like this…Cast Off!"
TheBee: "Cast Off!"
Gatack: "Cast Off!"
TheBee began Flipping the TheBee Zecter's wings out, then rotating the Zecter clockwise 180°, causing his "bulky" armor to disengage, the same happened to the other two as Kabuto flips the switch-like Zecter Horn on the Beetle Zecter over. Gatack did the same as he was the mandible-like Zecter Horns outward, and soon their "bulky" armors "exploded" into debris, hitting the first row of Artificial NMCs, killing at least five of them on the spot while the rest (about 15 of them remaining) kept on moving forward, all roaring and are hungry for flesh. Kabuto and Gatack stood in front as they gave TheBee some ideas.
"Fujima…it'd be best if you stay there for now. Someone has to keep the others from entering the gate. Tsubasa and I will deal with the front lines. You lack long-ranged weapons so you'll deal with the ones who manage to sneak past us."
"Very well, Hyuga…do your part and I'll do mine."
And so the fighting resumes as Kabuto took out his Kunai Gun and activated its "Gun Mode", firing its tri-laser shots. Gatack, on the other hand, uses the Double Calibur - - shotel-like weapons which resemble mandibles. They are attached on each shoulder when not in use. He has a golden Plus Calibur on his right shoulder and a silver Minus Calibur on his left. They act as sword-type weapons and uses them to slash away at the Artificial NMCs, while TheBee uses "Clock Up" on the ones who managed to get past the other two.
Then a shot is fired which struck the two armored ZECT agents which knocked them down at the cost of the other remaining ANMCs, and when the smoke cleared, it turn out to be Golem # 9, who emerged from the trailer and is ready to take the fight to ZECT. TheBee rushes to his comrades' side and the trio looked like things are getting a lot rougher than they anticipated.
Back at Mt. Bandai, the troopers were whipping Kyuu with their rifles as they did not give him a chance to recover, and he was being beaten up badly, attacking him on his upper body and head, resulting in him being busted open. By then the shrine's monastery occupants noticed the commotion and tried to get them to stop their action peacefully, but then the troopers open fire with their weapons, killing them on the spot with no mercy.
Then a family of five accidentally stumbled at the scene and saw the carnage up close, and the troopers killed them at once by shooting them on the head. A five-year old girl was injured and is crying, but then one of the troopers shot her on the head, killing her on the spot. The a cry coming from an infant was heard, and Kyuu pleaded to the trooper to spare the baby, butthen the troopers banged the infant's head repeatedly with their rifles, slowly killing the infant, and this snapped the Class Q leader out and screamed at the top of his lungs as he broke free from the troopers' grasps, surprising them.
"BLAST YOU! YOU KILLED INNOCENT PEOPLE AND MURDERED CHILDREN! I WON'T FORGIVE YOU! I'LL MAKE YOU PAY AND WISH YOU WEREN'T BORN!"
In an instant, perhaps by instinct, Kyuu activated his Parasite Energy and combusted the troopers on the spot, slowly burning them down until all were dead. Within five minutes he slowly regained his composure and approached the corpses of the family who accidentally get caught in the skirmish. He slowly closed their eyes as a way to pay respect for the dead just as Kyo arrived, appalled by what he just witnessed.
"Nii-san…you got suckered into a trap…"
"I know…I just found out…why am I so careless…"
"Too late to dwell on that…we'd better call the police here and…"
Suddenly more troopers arrived and surrounded the twin brothers and are ready to shoot the down when a voice boomed and the troopers lowered their weapons as the twin brothers are bracing themselves for another fight coming their way.
"Lower your weapons. I'll take it from here. Y-Chromosomal Adam is mine."
Kyuu and Kyo glanced at a man who appeared behind the troopers, who resembled a 20-year old, dressed only on white tanktop shirt, jeans and rubber shoes. The two then noticed that he is wearing a Zecter Brace similar to TheBee's, and a Zecter is hovering around him, which resembles a Hercules Beetle. He is identified as Hidenari Oda, and it appeared that he's in league with the troopers.
"I have no use for you, Y-Chromosomal Adam…as your existence is a black eye on this world. You must die…along with your family and everything that represents you…including Dan Detective School…and of course…ZECT. Henshin."
The Zecter, identified as the Hecules Zecter, attaches itself onto the Zecter Brace which is attached to Oda's right wrist, and the Zecter spoke to confirm the voice command.
Hercules Zecter: "HENSHIN…"
The Renjou brothers stared wide-eyed as tachyon energy was felt and it enveloped Oda in an armor vaguely resembling Kabuto, but this one gives him the appearance of a Hercules Beetle. Moreover, he doesn't have a "Masked" form and his transformation sends him straight to "Rider" form
Hercules Zecter: "CHANGE HERCULES BEETLE…"
"The name's…Hercus…Mask Rider Hercus…and you'll never forget me after I kill you…"
Kyuu and Kyo braced themselves as they are in a fight for their lives as they are weaponless against a new enemy who seem to be a trump card for this new organization, and Hercus is more than ready to kill the two younger teens as he has his orders: eliminate Kyuu and everyone and everything that is connected to him.
To Be Continued…

What a double ambush, indeed.
As Fujima, Tsubasa and Hyuga had just took out the Artificial NMCs, Golem # 9 shows up, and he sure is confident that he can handle three of ZECT's good agents. Can TheBee, kabuto and Gatack be able to fend him off long enough?
And the Renjou brothers are in a heap of trouble as a new enemy surfaced. He has a Zecter that appears to be an equivalent of Kabuto's but it's too early to speculate. Can Kyuu alone handle this guy? And what can Kyo do to help out in this kind of situation?
Preview:
Kyuu takes on Mask Rider Hercus and the two appeared to be evenly matched until the intruder reveals a lot of weapons he has stored, while Kyo tries to help out.
And two more character EXCLUSIVE to this fic also appears, though it is not known if they are allies or enemies of ZECT.
