Parasite Eve II: Armegedon

Last chapter was quite a rollercoaster…Kyo gets killed (my first OC death), Kyuu and Koizumi faces off…Kyuu is now the new Kabuto…and the fight is already underway…time is of the essence and the Class Q leader must end this fight now to get to Kyo, unaware that he's already dead.


Realizing that he was set up, Kyuu started to act and find out who else is here since the hotel was actually deserted for almost a decade, and when he glanced at the motorcycle sidecar, and Kyo's bag, he slowly glanced at the cliff, and saw flies hovering over what appeared to be bloodstains and this shocked him a lot. But his musing was interrupted when a warning shot fired and he managed to evade it, and now he had to take a stand and end the fight in order to find Kyo and to clear his name.

"I told you…I was set up…and I'm not affiliated with ZECT."

"Lies won't cover your hide, you brat…either you disclose to me Yukari's whereabouts or I'll throw you off the cliff. And this is the last time I'm asking you nicely…as I'm now losing patience…"

"And so did I…"

At that moment the Beetle Zecter flew out of Kyuu's bag and struck Drake on his facial helmet that stunned him for a few moments as the mechanical beetle flew towards Kyuu's hands as he raised the hem of his shirt, revealing the Zecter Belt and is ready to initiate his transformation.

"I don't want to fight you…but you left me no choice…my brother's life is at stake…and it appeared that someone used me to commit a crime on your friend…but I'm going to clear my name…but I won't use my Parasite Form…I'm not that foolish to stoop that low…like you when you attacked my brother because he is my identical twin brother…henshin!"

Kyuu inserted the Beetle Zecter on the belt in a horizontal fashion, and because Tsubasa somehow altered the voice input of the Zecter and Kyuu giving his voice command, the Zecter now responds only to Kyuu's voice and it spoke to confirm the teen's voice command.

Beetle Zecter: "HENHSIN…"

Tachyon energy flows around the Class Q leader's body and within moments he is encased in black and crimson tights-like armor while his upper body and head are covered in silver, bulky armor. Kyuu Renjou has become Mask Rider Kabuto…in Masked Form.

"Wha…? I didn't expect you to have the Beetle Zecter in your hands…you really are in cahoots with ZECT!"

"I told you…I'm not with ZECT…"

"Screw the lies!"

"You know…you're getting irritated…and you let anger control you…"

"Because you caused me to be angry…you took Yukari…then raped her…now I'll make you pay…even if I have to go to the darkness just to get her back…!"

"Oba-chan told me this…"One that drowns in oneself will eventually fall to darkness…". You will fall to darkness and so is Ms. Hayasaka unless you calm down…if you do…we'll talk things over so we can get to the bottom of…"

"ENOUGH! HAVE AT YOU!"

Drake opened fire at Kabuto but because of Kabuto's Masked Form, he wasn't affected but he went on the defensive and ran around, trying to find cover in order to disable Drake and calm him down or things might get worse. He is unaware that Kyo is already dead, and this might be a big blow to him once he finds out about this fact.

25: Sagi ga Hakken

Seeing that Drake's weapon is long-ranged, Kabuto decided to fight fire with fire and took out the Kunai Gun and toggled it to enable his weapon to assume "Gun Mode", and returned fire, forcing Drake to seek cover behind a large drum, filled with oil which has been abandoned long ago.

"So you're fighting back with your own firepower…"

"Oba-chan told me this…"If someone bites you I bite back"…since you got a gun…I should have one and retaliate…now that we're in equal footing, this should be fair enough…"

"You're being unfair…you took away my precious girl…and if that wasn't enough…you raped her…you teenage brat! Now I'll make you pay! Take this! And this! And this!"

Firing several shots from his Dragonfly Zecter in Gun form, Kabuto was staggering back at the impact of the shots so he fired back and hit the drum, causing an explosion which sends Drake flying towards the window of the hotel and he was inside. Kabuto decided to wait in case Drake might do a sneak attack. He did the right thing as shots are fired and it hit the armored Class Q leader square on his chest, though it only rattled him, he was moderately unharmed, but it did knocked him off his feet.

"Don't make me do this, Renjou…if you want to save that kid who looked like you, then tell me where Yukari is…and if you do, I'll let you go. It wasn't that hard to ask, is it not? And you're out of options…"

"I told you I don't have her…and you really think I'm capable of that?"

"What?"

"If I'm with ZECT, then I should have ZECT Troopers by my side…look around you…I came here because a fake message said that my mom came here by accident…and my brother came with me to find her…I have no idea why you're accusing me of that…"

Drake was starting to suspect something from Kabuto's words, but Oda spoke to him on his codec to counter the alibi and the fashion designer was quick to accept this, recalling the images on the fake footages that Oda showed him.

"You lying cretin! You almost suckered me into believing your crap!"

Drake fired again and this time he pinned Kabuto on the ground, and the impact of the blast prevented him from standing up, but due to the smoke emitted from the blaster he was able to toggle the Kunai Gun and assumed "Ax Mode". As Drake got closer Kabuto swings his "ax" and that sent him staggering back and for Kyuu to make a counter attack. Moments later the two engaged in a fistfight as both are intent on beating one another to get the upper hand as Oda looks on.


Meanwhile, it was 12:20 at Hiroshima, and it was a busy day for the people there as it was weekend and the streets are crowded as many are taking weekend office works while others are heading for the mall. Kojiro Hyuga was on his way back to Shibuya after seeing a friend after getting together, and though he was happy with the results, he was a bit sad that Tsubasa relinquish the Beetle Zecter, though he was a bit surprised when told that Kyuu was chosen as the new Kabuto.

He was also wondering what Yamaki would do once the Council learned of this, and that Yamaki intends to invite the Class Q leader to join ZECT. Although Kyuu was invited, the DDS student said that he needed to think about it, thus the Zecter remained with Tsubasa. Now that Kyuu has it, it's only a matter of time before he gives his final answer.

"Tsubasa…I hope you made the right choice in choosing Kyuu as the new user…though I'm confident that Kyuu will use it responsibly, but I'm worried about what the Council might be thinking once they learned of this…"

His musing was interrupted when Ryu Amakusa called him on the cellphone and the two are talking. There the discussion was about their progresses regarding Neo-ZECT and Kyuu being the new Kabuto.

Hyuga: "So…how are things there? Any luck with finding out about Neo-ZECT?"

Ryu: "I'm afraid not…we're still getting come clues to lead us to something…what about you?"

Hyuga: "Same here. What's your situation at this time?"

Ryu: "I'm stuck at home looking after the house as Kyuu and Kyo went to Morioka to fetch their mom…she accidentally boarded the wrong train ride and she asked them to fetch her there…"

Hyuga: "Why fetch them when she can take the ride back and ask for a refund? I'm sure the train company can reach a compromise…those brothers are wasting fuel and all…"

Ryu: "You can't blame them…they're worried that Neo-ZECT might use her as a hostage…"

Hyuga: "You got a point there…huh? Hold on a minute…"

Ryu: "What's wrong?"

Hyuga: "Mrs. Renjou had just passed by me…"

Ryu: "What?"

Hyuga saw Mrs. Renjou passing by with a family friend so he accosts her and asked her why is she here when she is supposed to be in Morioka, which she denied the statement. Giving the cellphone to Ryu, she was surprised to learn from the blue-haired Class Q member, and both Ryu and Hyuga realized that something is amiss, and finally discerned the real meaning to this mystery. The brothers were suckered into a trap.

Hyuga: "Blast! Mrs. Renjou…go stay indoors until we contacted you! Please…do what I say for your own safety!"

Mrs. Renjou: "My sons…"

Hyuga: "I'll go find them…Ryu…contact your friends…we might need their help…"

Ryu: "Got it!"

Hyuga boarded his motorcycle and cruises off towards Morioka, his mind filled with worries as to how crafty Neo-ZECT is, being able to apparently use a device to mimic Mrs. Renjou's voice and lure the Renjou brothers into a trap far from ZECT HQ. While cruising he contact Yamaki and HQ for assistance, telling them the current situation.

Neo-ZECT's trickery has been exposed, and it's al lthanks to coincidence that Hyuga was able to meet up with the Renjou matriarch while talking to Ryu on the cellphone…

Meanwhile Hyuga goes of to Morioka to help, though it might be too late to help Kyo but at least he can help Kyuu…

And now ZECT is going to get involved…and now ZECT vs. Neo ZECT fights are now underway…


Preview:

Kabuto and Drake (Kyuu and Koizumi respectively) continue the fight as they now assume Rider Forms, and Kyo shows up…as a corpse. This would surely make Kyuu lose his cool and might do something reckless.

Meanwhile The new TheBee shows up and Kunimitsu Tezuka gets up close with the fight scene between Kyu and Koizumi, but his mission there is not the same as Hyuga, as he has an order to accomplished, which involves Kyuu…
