Parasite Eve II: Armageddon

The Hopper Riders arc continues and the Powerpuff Girls Z members struggle to take down their DDS schoolmates without putting serious harm onto them knowing that they're being brainwashed, but is there a limit on restraining themselves?


Toggling with the Hopper Zecter, Kick Hopper initiated his attack on the tourists, when the legs of the Hopper Zecter are pulled up, a charge surges to Kick Hopper's left leg where he leaps high into air. From here, he sets up his attack by pulling the Hopper Zecter's legs back down (to default position) and attacks off his left leg with a drop kick from above.

Upon landing the kick, the Anchor Jack on his left leg bounces down and back up, allowing Kick Hopper to rebound back into the air for another attack, creating possibilities for different variations of attack. He then started jumping on the hapless tourists on their heads in repeated jumping, killing them on the spot much to the two Class P members' horrors, while the Professor Kitazawa and ken watched the scene in shock, realizing the situation that they're in.

Kimi ga negau koto nara subete genjitsu ni naru n' darou

Bousou hajimete 'ru sekai wo moto ni modosu ni wa mou

MOVING FAST Kokoro no tokei ni hashirase ashita no sono saki e

Kimi no tonari tatakau tabi umarekawaru
Me ni mieru SPEED koete 'ku MOTION
Ittai jibun igai dare no tsuyosa shinjirareru?

Hikari ga sagashite iru atsui kumo no aida kagayaku

Ch. 40: Hoppā wa Raidā part 2

After the attack ended Kick Hopper pointed his finger at the two Powerpuff Girls Z members and did a slitting throat gesture as the fight is about to resume, and Class P braced themselves as they realized that their lives are now on the line as they couldn't let the two get away and hurt people. They had to think of something to disable them without putting serious harm onto them but then the Hopper Riders began to get aggressive and assaulted the two teen girls.

"Stop bickering and fight us!"

"And stop laughing at my partner!"

As the two armored fighters go for the assault, Hyper Blossom and Powered Buttercup realized that perhaps a strong blow is needed to jolt the two teens out of their controls, so one summoned a yo-yo and the other a huge mallet, and after bringing out their weapons, Buttercup whacked Punch Hopper on the head while Blossom tied up Kick Hopper, and the two seemingly managed to subdue the two, and the Kitazawa's are relieved to see the girls getting the upper hand.


At Neo-ZECT, Koizumi was walking within the hallway, and is thinking about what he saw just moments ago and this is a real shocker as he happened to see someone from ZECt collaborating with Neo-ZECT and the Artificial NMC there talking to Oda, and heard that Yukari is somewhere within this base and Oda knew this all this time while he kept stating that Kyuu and ZECt are in cahoots. Now he'll have to find Yukari and get out of here, and to personally apologize to Kyuu for his past misdeeds.

"I can't believe that Oda played me for a fool...but once I find Yukari and ghet her out of here...i'll see if I could make up to that Renjou bhy telling him what I knew about Neo-ZECT...at least that's the best I could do...and about a ZECT member talking to Oda..."

As he walked around several floors, he paid respect to passing Neo-ZECT Troopers and then passed by Ryoma Echizen, and the two briefly talked things over, which regards on Kyuu Renjou, and his path towards death.

"...mada-mada-dane...you'll have to exert more effort if you want to make that DDS boy pay for what he did to your girlfriend...if I were you...I'd kill him on the spot...then your problems are over...very simple, no? It'd work for me..."

"But then I won't be able to find Yukari..."

"I'm sure you'll figure out a way...see you."

As Ryoma left, Koizumi made sure that no one sees him and immediately went ahead to search for Yukari room after room until he came across some Neo-ZECT Troopers talking about Yukari remaining sedated yet they wondered why not dispose of her, in which they unknowingly revealed her location: the basement area.

Another conversation that he heard is that the Hoper Riders are now dealing with Class P in Urawa, and there the fashion designer has found a good start to make up for his mistake before he decided to personally apologize to Kyuu. After that, the troopers bragged at how stupid Koizumi is, thinking that Kyuu still has her in his clutches.

Now Koizumi is getting more and more pissed, as he realized that all this time Neo-ZECT has been deceiving him about Kyuu and ZECT have Yukari when Neo-ZECT itself has taken her prisoner without him knowing.

"Why those sons of a bitch…I'll get back at you…right now I'll have to get Yukari out of here…"

Making sure no one sees him, Koizumi summons the Dragonfly Zecter and attaches it on the Dragon Grip, completing his transformation into Drake, and he initiated "Cast Off" to assume Rider Form so he can use the "Clock Up" mechanism to get to the basement and find his beloved. As some five minutes he finally arrived and used the "Clock Up" to sneak and disable the guards while hiding them as he carried Yukari, who is sedated, out of her cell and is ready to leave as he is greeted with another sight as he passed by another cell, and saw who is inside.

"What the…? Echizen? Then who's the pipsqueak that I talked to…?"

Left with no choice, he carried him on his back and uses "Clock Up" several times to sneak out of Neo-ZECT base and moved farther away to get to the nearest police station so he could offer protection to the two unconscious teens. While in the city proper, Class G are about to head home after attending classes at Dan Detective School when Drake chanced upon he fashion trio, and knew this is the only way to give DDS a breakthrough and help them in stopping Neo-ZECT so he stopped in front of the Super GALS, surprising the trio.

"Wha…? You're George Koizumi…!"

"He's armored…that means…"

"Drake…!"

"Ladies…I have no time to explain…please look after the two…! I have to get to Urawa to help Class P!"

The trio beauties were surprised to see Yukari and Ryoma and before Class G could ask, Drake had already left using "Clock Up" to get to Urawa before all is too late.


Back at Urawa, the Hopper Riders have broke free and regained their momentum, and Hyper Blossom and Powered Buttercup are on the receiving end again, and things are not looking good, as the two girls decided to fly their way through by ramming them, but then the Hopper Riders toggled their Zecters and activated a mechanism unique to their armory.

Hopper Zecter: "RIDER JUMP!"

Hopper Zecter: "RIDER JUMP!"

Punch Hopper and Kick Hopper did a standing dropkick that sent the two girls flying up, and then the Hopper Riders leap high and caught up with the two, toggling their Zecters and preparing to execute their next attack.

Punch Hopper: "Rider Punch…"

Kick Hopper: "Rider Kick…"

Hopper Zecter: "RIDER PUNCH!"

Hopper Zecter: "RIDER KICK!"

Then Kick Hopper's Anchor Jack that are attached to his right leg, activated and performed a kick attack which hit Buttercup used her mallet to parry it, but it got shattered and her ribs was caught by the attack, sending her down on the ground and is unconscious…and seriously hurt as she reverted back to normal, blood spilled from her body.

Punch Hopper did a powerful punch, and it found its mark, hitting Blossom on her back, and you can see her spinal column shattered and she fell down on the ground, and is out of the fight. As the Hoppers landed, they are ready to kill them when Drake shows up and activated the Rider Shooting, sending the two Hoppers to seek cover, enabling the Kitazawa's to carry the two girls inside their van and sped off, as Drake did the same. As the smoke cleared, the Hopper Riders emerged, looking pissed, yet they got a call which summoned them back to base.

To Be Continued…

Thanks to Drake, Class P are saved for the time being, but this certainly puts them out of commission for the next succeeding chapters…


Preview:

The scene shifts to Area-X and Kyuu finally gets inside to discover its secret…which will no doubt shock him to the fullest once he gets to discover what's inside…and who is controlling the Artificial NMCs…
