Parasite Eve II: Armageddon
The next arc involves the Renjou brothers making a stakeout at the Shibuya Crash Site after studying the blueprint that they find at the site's secret room, and this will show a lot of shockers here.
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 while she used her mallet to parry it, but it got shattered and the Kick Hopper's attack connected, 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 scampering back 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.

Ch. 41: Hinan-sho part 1
The next day, Kyuu and Kyo are at the streets of Tokyo, ready to take separate paths as they embark on a dangerous mission in order to get more information about what they discovered, and both knew the risks involved and are now bracing themselves after learning from Ken Kitazawa regarding what happened to Class P, as the younger Kitazawa is the only Class P member who is still active yet the Powerpuff Girls Z and Pretty Cure are now immobilized due to the injuries they incurred.
"Nii-san…even though Ichijouji and Motomiya are controlled by Neo-ZECT…there's no reason for us to hold back…Ken Kitazawa told us how deadly they've become ever since they've been brainwashed and are given their own Zecters…we can't afford to get caught and get killed…"
"I know…that's why if things went wrong…we use Clock Up to make our escape should our cover be blown away…"
The Renjou brothers then recalled on getting a call form Kitazawa which the two, Class S and T were taken by surprise and are now heading for the Kitazawa Laboratory at Mt. Edo.
- - - FLASHBACK - - -
As Class Q, R, S and T are huddling around the table where the blueprint is laid, they are still deducing what to think of this when Kyuu got a call from Ken Kitazawa on what happened at the shrine at Urawa, and the others heard this too, and are alarmed after what the male member of Class P just said to the DDS sections involved.
"…Daisuke and ken have fallen to Neo-ZECT's hands…they've brainwashed them and armed them with Zecters of their own…they even overpowered the Powerpuff Girls Z and Pretty Cure! The girls would've been killed if not for Mask Rider Drake making the save…"
"Wait…did you say Drake…? Koizumi's there?"
"Yeah…he held them off until dad and I managed to load the girls inside the van and sped off, though we couldn't wait for Drake since the girls suffered massive injuries…we had to prioritize them…they lost some blood and had internal injuries…"
"I see…we'll go there and see what we can do…"
An hour later, Kyuu, Kyo, Sakura, Takato and Henry Wong arrived at the Kitazawa laboratory where Professor Kitazawa showed to the DDS students the x-ray results of the girls' injuries and they were surprised to see how great the extent was and Sakura volunteered to use her Clow magic to try and heal Class P's injuries, and so the rest left and head back to Tomoyo's mansion, where Ryu, Kazuma and Kite gave the Renjou brothers another shocker.
"Check out what Kite and I discovered…"
"It took more than hacking to discovered what we find…"
"And it seems that Neo-ZECT's up to something this diabolical…"
Looking at Kazuma's laptop, the others showed to the Renjou brothers about the layout of the blueprint, which shows that a space station is being built which the construction is dated being started since six months ago, at the time Mitochondria Eve is beginning her attack on Tokyo, taking advantage of the chaos where no one would notice their construction of the space station.
Ryu pointed out that someone might have financed the construction f the space station and Neo-ZECT may have used devices to mask the space station's construction presence which would explain why no one is aware of this and that he also pointed out about the Shibuya Crash Site might also have hidden secrets, as they showed to them the map of the crash site, which connects the underground passage of Shibuya up to the underground passage to Shizkuoka Island, which Kazuma dubbed it "AREA-X".
By then Kyuu mentioned to them that a certain Riku Kotobuki might be involved as his name was seen among the list of people behind the financing and construction of the space station as well as refusing to answer his questions. After much discussion they all agreed to let the Renjou brothers take the chance to infiltrate AREA-X to get some answers and confer the results to Yamaki and ZECT.
- - - ENDFLASHBACK - - -
Outside the Shibuya Crash Site, Kyo waited as Kanata changes into Mask Rider Leangle and threw up the Category King of Clubs card, K: EVOLUTION TARANTULA , and then swipes the Category 10 card, 10: REMOTE TAPIR on the Club Staff , unsealing the Tarantula Clow Beast, and from there the Clow Beast assumes his human guise of Noboru Shima and went to the gates of the crash site where several ZECT Troopers accosted him, and there Shima uses his telepathic power to render the troopers in a trance, allowing Kyo to sneak inside the entrance until he is out of sight, and Shima and Leangle then backed away and hide, as the Troopers were released from their trance, recalling nothing.
Inside the crash site, he navigated his way around, and then passed by a closet, finding a spare Neo-ZECT uniform and helmet, surprised that the ZECT Troopers outside are unaware of this, and as he puts it on, he heard footsteps and hide, and while hiding he was surprised to see someone passing by, and it turn out to be Tetsuki Yamato, and he wondered what he is doing here, and is tempted to get his attention thinking he is here to investigate, but recalling that ZECT is after Kyuu, he decided to wait until Yamato is gone.
Once fully disguised, Kyo walked at the straight narrow way which soon leads him further inside, where he encountered a civilian manning the area, and as the disguised Kyo walked past him, the man immediately talked to the younger Renjou which got his attention.
"I can tell you're not a trooper since you're height is that of a junior high school student. Are you Kyuu Renjou? If so, you shouldn't have come here wandering. You know well that both ZECT and Neo-ZECT are after you, so you should have thought about this before coming here."
"Bullshit…! I sure wish I've gotten taller…at least the Stag Zecter's with me so if I need to change to Gatack, I'd do it fast…! For now I'll just play possum by talking to this guy…wonder why he's dressed normally if he's working here as a Neo-ZECT member…"
Removing the trooper helmet and revealing himself, Kyo braces himself for any eventuality, but the man, identified as Daigo Tachikawa, sighed at seeing who he is facing against and opted not to squeal him to anyone here within this area.
"Oh dear…what is Y-Chromosomal Adam thinking…? Sending his younger twin brother here instead of coming here himself…fine. Come with me and I'll give you a tour about this place…and put your helmet on or you'll be recognized…"
Kyo was rather surprised at this and began to talk to Daigo about why he opted to give him a tour and not alerting the guards. Something is not right here so he kept his guard up and prepared his Zecter in case this is a trap and an ambush.
"Give me a tour…? Are you sure you won't squeal me to those guards?"
"If that's was my intention, then I'd done it moments ago. I can guess why you're here, so I guess you're the only ones who can stop this organization's madness…so better come along if you wish to find answers…by the way, you don't have to tell me your name…for I already know…"
"Can I ask for yours…?"
"Daigo Tachikawa…let's go so you can get the answers you need and then you leave."
Seeing the logic, Kyo put on his disguise and followed Daigo as he gives him a tour of this secret base, and the Class R leader wondered how a place like this existed and how and why this passage connects Shibuya to Shizuoka Island.
Outside Shizuoka Island, following the photocopy of the map that Kazuma provided, Kyuu changes to Kabuto and uses "Clock Up" t sneak his way in with no problem, leading inside an abandoned mine and from there he uses "Clock Up" again to get past Neo-ZECT Troopers until passing by a locker and took a spare Neo-ZECT Trooper suit and puts it on after deactivating the Beetle Zecter and began to walk around, hoping that no one would notice him in a suspicious way.
As he was walking by, two Neo-ZECT Troopers passed by him and heard them talking about this place and the conversation he heard would make him uneasy and further tweaked his curiosity about the whole situation.
"…wonder why they called this place "The Shelter"…? This place is huge which connects Shibuya and Shizuoka Island…surely they could have come up with a better name…"
"…at least it fits the place…imagine…creating an army of Artificial NMC which are derived from Kyuu Renjou's DNA that contained his Mitochondrial powers…but then thy needed a source to control those things…"
"Who cares? We're being paid to become foot soldiers…at least those Higher-ups put a leash on them…we won't be harmed as long as we don't betray them to ZECT or the government…"
"Shelter…? My DNA…? They don't mean…I'd better get some clues…what I just heard is making me feel uneasy…I can't believe that Neo-ZECt would do something this horrible…"
As he navigated from corridor to corridor, he found a laboratory room and sneaked inside, seeing that no one is around. There he found notes on a table and read them, and his heart beats faster as emotional shock slowly overtook him as what Yamaki suggested to him earlier was true – someone stole his DNA samples and used them to create advanced version of the Mitochondrial Creatures, and Neo-ZECT is using them for their personal gain, and this would explain why Neo-ZECT have created Artificial NMC's that are also capable of disguising as humans.
"Those bastards…I've got to find a way to relay this to Yamaki and DDS…hope Kyo has better luck than I have…if he were to see this, he'd be very pissed…"

A shocker in this chapter as the Renjou brothers are gaining ground as they managed to sneak inside the secret base dubbed both "AREA-X" and "The Shelter"…
Now it is confirmed…the Artificial NMC's are derived from Kyuu's DNA, but since they needed a catalyst, who would be capable of spawning and controlling these mutates?
Preview:
Get ready, readers…there is only one answer as to who is capable of controlling the Neo Mitochondrial Creatures as Kyuu and Kyo went further inside the secret area of "The Shelter" and this would put more emphasis on Kyuu's involvement…
