Parasite Eve II: Armegedon

Kunimitsu Tezuka, Ryoma's team captain on the Seigaku team, shows up and gets involved between Kyuu and Koizumi, though in a non-physical manner, and he has a mission there unlike Hyuga, who is on his way there.

Kyuu and Koizumi took their fight to the next level as they assume Rider Forms and he'll get the shock of his life once he sees his dead twin brother's body, and this might cause him to lose his cool.

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.

26: Hachi no Shimei

At ZECT HQ, Masato Mishima was at the communications room when Hyuga's call was intercepted. Since Mitsuo Yamaki was out on the road at this time Mishima was in charge and a few communicators who are there took the call and there the message is received, though Hyuga was a bit apprehensive that someone else received his SOS message.

"This is Mishima. I read you, Hyuga…what's the sudden call?"

"I'm heading for Moiroka at once as I got a message that the Renjou brothers are being set into a trap by suspected Neo-ZECT members. I'm going there to help, but I'm still in Hiroshima…can you send some of your men to go ahead and stop the Neo-ZECT Troopers while I'm still traveling? It's urgent! Something might happen to the two brothers…and DDS might hold us responsible for not sensing this plot earlier…!"

"Fine…I'm on it. Mishima out."

As the communication is cut, the top brass of ZECT adjusted his smoke-colored glasses as he capitalizes on the situation, as he sees this as an opportunity to please his superiors, the Council, as he recalled the orders given to him and it takes precedence over anything else, and he couldn't agree more and the scene between him and the Council is shown.

- - - FLASHBACK - - -

Masato Mishima was summoned by the six-man council (all dressed like black-colored druids) and there he was told of the current situation, in which Tsubasa Ozora has resigned from ZECT, and one of ZECT's spies informed them that the soccer player gave bopth the Beetle Zecter and the Zecter Belt to Kyuu Renjou, thus the DDS student became the new Kabuto, in which Tsubasa appointed him as his successor.

Of course the Council were vehemently against this and even rejected Yamaki's proposal of accepting him in ZECT's ranks seeing him nothing more than an eyesore, and Mishima supported their sentiments, and they gave Mishima an assignment, in which he must regain the items and use any means necessary to achieve that goal.

"That is your mission. Since your rank is higher than Yamaki's you need not fear him or DDS. Concentrate only on Kyuu Renjou…take the items from him by hook or by crook. Don't let others know about this…for this is only between us. Do not fail us…our future lies in your hands…"

"You have my word…I'll do my best…I won't let Kabuto's power go to the hands of a teenage brat who knows nothing but idolizes Shelock Holmes…and that being him as Mitochondria Eve's counterpart, we might need to eliminate him if the situation calls for it. I will not fail you…glory to ZECT."

- - - END FLASHBACK - - -

Mishima went to the hangar and summoned Kunimitsu Tezuka and when the Seigaku captain came he was given very strict orders that must be accomplished, much to the tennis player's bafflement:

- Go to Morioka and survey the situation;

- Make sure to get the Beetle Zecter from Kyuu Renjou as stealthily as possible before Hyuga or any of the DDS sections arrive, or else it would mean mission failed;

- If possible, take out Kyuu in secret so that he can get the Zecter from him without resistance. Once Kyuu is taken out, then take out Drake if needed, but the importance is that the Beetle Zecter is secured.

"Sir…why the need to eliminate that Renjou boy? He's been a big help to us ZECT and even saved Japan several months ago. I don't see him as a threat. In fact if we invite him to join us it'll be a big boost and help in nailing Neo-ZECT…"

"I don't recall asking your hollow opinion, Tezuka. I give you an order and you obey them. If you want to pass it up…you may do so…of course you'll have to resign and surrender the Zecter…which means you're out of here…"

"No, sir…I won't resign…"

"Good. Now go and do your job…and don't fail me. I didn't bring you here for fun or for leisure…remember…I brought you here for a purpose…and you agreed because you have a mission…of course it's very important to you…Seigaku captain…"

Nodding, Tezuka boarded a motorcycle and left immediately, though he was mentally irritated at how Mishima treated him after meeting up with the council, and wondered if he did the right thing in joining ZECT, since one of his reasons for joining is to bring Echizen back alive and himself again, and to do that, he'll have to obey their orders, and may have to take out Kyuu if needed.

"Forgive me, Yamaki…forgive me, Kyuu…I have no options as of now to bend their rules…"

Meanwhile, Hyuga is now nearing Okayama, but is starting to mentally panicking as a truck suffered a flat tire and fell to its side, blocking the three lanes of the highway, slowing the ease of traffic and he frantically looked for a way to get through, and realized that he'll have to jump to the other side of the road to get through, so he did, much to the approaching drivers' dismay and annoyance, honking the motorcycle while avoiding him.

"HEY! USE THE PROPER LANE, YOU MORON!"

"NO MOTORCYCLES ALLOWED IN THE HIGHWAY!"

"YOU WANT TO COMMIT SUICIDE? GO JUMP ON THE CLIFF AND NOT CRASH IN ON US! WE DON'T HAVE MONEY TO COVER YOUR FUNERAL SERVICES!"

After traveling a few miles on the opposite lane, Hyuga went back to the proper lane and continued to cruise on the highway, approaching Kobe, where a police car saw the speeding motorcycle and gave chase. Hyuga was force to pull over and when questioned, he showed out his ZECT ID and badge, which the officers reluctantly let him go, and so the soccer player left in a hurry.

"Geez…why is it that ZECT enjoys immunity from the law?"

"Don't ask me…I rather be a normal cop than become someone who abuses human rights…I'm against martial law, you know…so count your blessings as we didn't get into an altercation with ZECT…"

At the Hanamiki Hills, Kunimitsu Tezuka had just arrived, and slowly went towards the hotel, where he sees Kabuto and Drake fighting, still in their Masked Forms, and he knew he needed to get closer in order to get a cheap shot to disable Kyuu so that he could get the Beetle Zecter off the teen detective's belt, but he can't let either of the two see him so he'll have to find a place to hide, of course he wasn't thrilled in doing this as this would mean aiding the murder of a 15-year old boy who risked his life in saving Japan from possible extermination of all life.

"Please…help me…I don't want to kill the boy who saved us all…but I don't want to lose the means to save Ryoma Echizen…please give me a sign to justify my reason to call off my mission…"

His prayers were answered when Kabuto and Drake grappled for the Dragon Grip as they are near the cliff, and from there things happened so fast. The edge of the ground gave in and the two plummeted down to the ground below, and Tezuka went there to check on them, and saw the two down, so he used a binocular to see more clearly below, seeing the two are quite stunned from the impact, but then saw Kyo's lifeless body there as well, and realized that an innocent life is on the line, unaware that the younger Renjou is already dead.

"Blast! Another life on the balance…sorry, Mishima, but I'm afraid I'll have to cancel the mission as I have something more important to attend to…saving a life…that's more precious than retrieving your Zecter…"

But as team captain of Seigaku was about to board his motorcycle, Hidenari Oda showed up, with the Hercules Beetle Zecter in his hands, and Tezuka sensed that this is a good excuse to justify his failure of his mission.

"I presume you're from ZECT, are you?"

"You must be from Neo-ZECT…Hidenari Oda, am I correct? Issei Kurosaki told me what a turncoat you turn out to be…are you here to stop me from intervening?"

"I'm afraid so…all for the glory of Neo-ZECT…henshin."

Oda inserted the Zecter on his Zecter Brace on his right wrist, and his transformation is initiated, which Tezuka was aware of, having been told that Oda stole the blue print of the Zecters to create his own weapon which is based on TheBee's designs.

Hercules Beetle Zecter: "HENSHIN…"

Oda was encased in an armor with Tachyon energy flowing and was now in his armored form of Mask Rider Hercus, in which he is already in his Rider form since Hercus, Caucassus and Ketaros don't have masked Forms.

Hercules Beetle Zecter: "CHANGE HERCULES BEETLE…"

Tezuka then went on the defensive as he raised a hand and the Wasp Zecter shows up from its hiding place, stunning Hercus by ramming his helmet and jolted him a bit before attaching itself on Tezuka's Zecter Brace which is located on his left wrist.

"Henshin…"

Wasp Zecter: "HENSHIN…"

Tachyon energy flowed within Tezuka's body as his armor encases him and in no time the Seigaku team captain became TheBee…in Masked Form. The two then had a stare-off, looking ready to rumble, and seeming forgotten about what's happening below.

At the ground below, near the raging sea waters trying to get over the sea wall, Kabuto was the first to regain his composure after feeling a big jolt from the fall from the cliff, but as he turns around he was shocked to see something he never thought might happen. Kyo was there, lying on his back, eyes closed, and is not breathing.

"KYO! NOOO! NOT MY BROTHER!"

But as he was about to get near his brother's body, debris struck him down, and almost fell off from the edge where the raging current is making its waves. Turning around, he saw Drake is already up, and is in Rider Form.

Dragonfly Zecter: "CHANGE DRAGONFLY…"

"You should rather worry about yourself than picking up a body…for you'll be one soon unless you tell me the answer I need…so what will it be…? Tell me Yukari's whereabouts…or join him in your grave…? Time is running out for you…"

"Darn it…!"

Drake is dead-set on beating Kabuto and Kabuto is getting more desperate, not knowing that his younger twin brother is already dead, nor that TheBee and Hercus are up at the cliff, fighting.

Tezuka arrived, and gets a reprieve as Hercus interrupted his "mission", much to his relief now he has a reason for not pursuing the Beetle Zecter. At least he can buy some time to figure a way to get to Kyuu without compromising himself.

Now that Kyuu found Kyo…what will he do once he finds out that his younger twin brother is dead? And what situation would arise once Hyuga arrives? It'll be a situational disaster in the making…

Preview:

Though the battle continues…a little filler comes in.

Kyo goes to Heaven…duh!

Yup…the younger Renjou will finally get to meet his dad and grandma…and will join them forever, bidding Kyuu goodbye and will leave DDS forever…
