Parasite Eve II: Armageddon
Surprises will be seen in this chapter as Kyuu gets to use the device he found at Area-X , and this will help him out in future chapters as the enemy becomes increasingly stronger thus he needed to be stronger as well.
As the armored Renjou brothers arrived after a fight and finding their target, surprising Golem # 9 as Kabuto and Gatack blocked his path, and there he was given an stern warning about giving up Eve or face a series of consequences, but then trouble arises as the Hopper Riders showed up, triggering a stare off between the two pairs as Golem # 9 smirked at the sight and makes his escape.
"Hey…aniki…we got ourselves a pair of brothers to face…who do you think would be the better brotherhood…?"
"Then let us find out…shall we then…aibo…?"
Aware of what Daisuke and Ken are capable of while in possession of the Hopper Zecters, Kabuto and Gatack braced themselves as the two possessed Class C members ran towards the two and a fistfight took place, and though Punch Hopper and Kick Hopper's fight with Class P was quite easy for the, they were slightly surprised that their new targets are putting up a good defense but they didn't let up, and while Kabuto tries to reach out Kick Hopper by voice, Punch Hopper is treating Gatack like a punching bag , slowly overwhelming him despite Kyo's experience in street fighting.
"Rider Punch…"
Toggling the Hopper Zecter, PunchHopper activated the Rider Punch and kicked Gatack square on the chest, sending him colliding against a wall, and fell to the ground, the Stag Zecter fell off, and Kyo reverted back to normal, spitting out a mouthful of blood as his chest area seeming had a fracture. Kabuto went to Kyo's side and looked around for a way to get away, and there he saw the ceiling and got an idea.
"Clock Up!"
Activating the Clock Up mechanism, Kabuto went towards the ceiling by walkin on the sides of the wall, activating his Kunai Gun in "Ax Mode" and "Gun Mode", causing a cave in and then scooped Kyo and left. As the Clock Up mechanism ended after 10 seconds, the Hopper Riders were rather surprised at how Kabuto pulled it off and opted not to go after them, knowing that they'll have another chance and a shot against the two brothers. By then, Hercus arrived and told the two to head back to the meeting hall as they have discussions to make. The three Neo-ZECT fighters then left and passes by Golem # 9, instructing scientists to load her back to the stasis tank.

Ch. 44: Haipā Kabuto
A few hours later at DDS, inside the conference room, Dan was surprised to hear from Kyuu on his and Kyo's discovery of The Shelter, and that the cause of the spawning of the ANMCs, which are results of Neo-ZECT stealing Kyuu's Mitochondria-laced DNA, and the DNA of his dad, which explained why he sensed a faint aura he felt at the Shibuya Crash Site, as well as discovering the link of Shizuoka Island and Shibuya via the tunnel of the secret base. Yamaki adjusted his glasses and prepares to head back at ZECT HQ to inform his superiors and hoped they would listen to him this time.
"This is serious…we had no idea that Neo-ZECT has been doing this while the Cult of Illuminites were still active…I'll tell this to HQ and hope the Council would listen to me this time…where's your brother?"
"At the hospital…he got a pretty good beating…"
"Were you able to find Daisuke and Ken?"
"Yes…and just like what Kitazawa said…they've been brainwashed…and their Zecters are as strong as mine…"
"We'll bide our time…Superintendent Touyama…have your other law enforcement agencies put on alert level…we mustn't let our guards down…anytime Neo-ZECT might unleash these ANMCs on the city proper…"
"Yes…"
After Yamaki left, Kyuu decided to ask Dan about something which seem to surprise both adults upon hearing the Class Q leader's question.
"Um…Dan-sensei…do you happen to know about a certain Riku Kotobuki…?"
"Wait…I heard of him…he's a high-ranking police official at Shibuya, what about him…?"
"Well…you see…"
Dan and Touyama were surprised about hearing from Kyuu about seeing his name on the list he found at the hidden room inside Shibuya Crash site, and when he confronted him at Shibuya, Riku claimed to have known about the Renjou parents and how Kyuu lost his cool when made comments on them. Both seniors are now pondering on whether Riku is in league with their current enemy or not.
At Shibuya, inside the Kotobuki house, Riku pays a visit to his younger brother, Taizo, and while the two brothers are in good moods, Taizo was still unsure on how to talk to him after recalling recalling how Riku said to Kyuu that caused the Class Q leader to lose his cool and caused a shouting, but then Taizo decided to give him refreshments after that they talked about the usual security measures and all, but as Riku was ready to leave, Ran confronted him and there was tension as she showed a tint of hostility towards her uncle.
"Ran…what are you doing? Do not show disrespect to your uncle!"
"Let me handle this, dad. Okay, Uncle Riku…we need to talk."
"What is there to talk about?"
"That scene at the Shibuya Police Department…my schoolmate from DDS, Kyuu Renjou…"
"Ah, the boy with Parasite powers…quite an intriguing character…"
"And a very uneasy one…especially how you told him you know about his parents…and you dodge his questions about seeing your name on a list he found at a secret room underneath the Shibuya Crash Site…which both ZECT and Neo-ZECT are there…going after Kyuu…"
"That has nothing to do with me."
"I think other wise…after what you said to him…"
"Which is…?"
While Riku was cool and calm, Ran was getting irritated that she resorted to using evidence and took out a tape recorder and played the verbal confrontation between her uncle and Kyuu, which Taizo was surprised having to recall that moment again while Ran's mother watches on in curiosity.
X-X-X
"Leaving already when I haven't introduced myself yet?"
"I do know about you, Kyuu Renjou…but strutting around with your fame wouldn't be a good way to promote it…"
"I'm here for a reason…you."
"Send me a calling card then…"
"I already have. Your name's on the list that I found…"
"That's right…I saw your name on the list that I found inside a secret room at the Shibuya Crash Site. Aside from seeing your name, I happened to saw a blueprint about a space station…it seems that both ZECT and Neo-ZECT are after me for this…"
"Not bad for a detective student…too bad I didn't get the chance to woo Mizue Renjou. She's good looker even after becoming a single mother…if given the chance I'd take her to bed and that would make me your stepfather…"
"What…?"
"Even though Satoru Renjou died…Mizue didn't perform an operation that would make her stop having children…and what if I put a sperm inside her…you'd have a step-sibling…especially of it is laced with Mitochondria…"
"TAKE THAT BACK, YOU BLASTED PERVERT! DON'T DRAG MY MOTHER IN TO THIS!"
X-X-X
Riku still remained clam while closing his eyes, reminiscing how he made the Class Q leader lose his cool, but then things took a tense turn as Ran grabbed her uncle by his collar, shook him quite hard.
"You think I'm going to waste time fooling around? Please tell me what's going on! Are involved with ZECT or Neo-ZECT? Are you involved with some illegal activities?"
"Wasting time…I think you already have…now let go of me…you are showing disrespect to me…Taizo…better instill strict discipline on your daughter…her becoming a Super GAL is corrupting the Kotobuki family line…huh?"
Riku was a bit surprised as he noticed that Ran is already wearing the "A" Buckle and she made another threat which didn't intimidate him.
"I'm giving you an ultimatum…"
"Why…? What do I look like? The Ultimate Warrior?"
Gritting her teeth, Ran released her hold on Riku and activated the "A" Buckle, and a projection wall materialized, knocking down Riku while the projection wall enveloped Ran, initiating her transformation to Glaive, and there Taizo, his eldest son, Yamato, and Miyu Yamazaki, also a Super GAL like Ran and of Class G, grappled onto Glaive urging her to calm down which Riku smirked.
"Just like Kyuu Renjou, you lose your cool when you couldn't get what you wanted…you cannot be a good detective if you let your emotions overtake you…once you learned when to control yourself you eventually find out…"
Riku got up and arranged himself, leaving the Kotobuki house as the Kotobuki family and Miyu continued to calm a seething Ran, still inside her Glaive armor.
At the school gate of DDS, Kyuu is about to leave when Ryu came to him and gave him the box that the Class Q leader found at the Shibuya Crash site and told him that Yamaki has not seen it since they are unsure on whether to trust him, which Kyuu was hesitant to take it after seeing the contents.
"This is…?"
"Kazuma still couldn't figure it out yet, but we're guessing that this might operate the same as the Beetle Zecter. You might encounter some trouble so better take it with you in case you get in to trouble…"
"Okay…I'll take it."
As Kyuu left, he was pondering on heading for the hospital until he got a text message from Kyo saying that he's now recovered thanks to the Stag Beetle Zecter and is heading home. Smiling, the Class Q leader now heads out for home when Rena Mamiya shows up, blocking his way, and there he sensed Parasite aura from her.
"What the…?"
"So…you are the one who defeated Mitochondria Eve…and the Ultimate Being…I wonder why both lost to a brat like you…"
"You…you have the same power as Eve…"
"So you found out about the new Eve…this should be interesting…if you can defeat my subordinates maybe I can tell you what I know…"
"So you work for Neo-ZECT…"
"Don't misunderstood me…I'm just their guest…but I might consider joining them…my loyal subjects…get him…"
Rena's subordinates then went for Kyuu, and revealed their Parasite forms, both resembling that of the Ultimate Beings, only in mermen-like forms, and went on to attack Kyuu, who accidentally assumed his Parasite form and fought them off, but he was unable to fly as he was being pinned down to the ground and was being bombarded with energy blasts, weakening him until he summoned the Beetle Zecter which knocked them back and Kyuu reverted back to normal form and grabbed the Zecter and slides it on the Zecter Belt.
Beetle Zecter: "HENSHIN…"
Now in Masked Form, Kabuto tries to get back at his attackers but even his Masked form wasn't enough as they proved to be too strong and he needed an opening, and resorted to use the Kunai Gun in Gun form and fired back, but they were to agile and there Kabuto Casts Off to assume Rider Form, and tries to use Clock Up, but surprisingly, they too are capable of moving at fast speed, and he was pinned down again.
"Nice try…but even with that device we can move at fast speed…so better give up…"
But Kabuto ignores her as he continued to fend off her subordinates, and there Rena took the opportunity to deliver a cheap shot by sneaking behind and punching Kabuto on his back, then his chest, sending him crashing against a car.
"Darn…what would it take to beat them…huh?"
Recalling what Ryu gave him, he decided to give the new device a chance and he mentally summoned it, and the device emerged from Kyuu's bag and flew towards Kabuto, surprising Rena.
"What…? The Hyper Zecter! But only ZECT has it!"
The device, which the Hyper Zecter, resembles the Beetle Zecter, but is round-shaped flew towards Kabuto and after glancing at it, he looked at the Zecter Belt and found another docking area and places the Hyper Zecter there, and within moments he is initiated in a series of transformations, assuming Hyper Form, which he has gained an additional mass layer of armor and his helmet further resembles a real beetle as his horn gained an additional size.

Hope you like this chapter.
The Super GAL leader tried, and failed, to get answers from his uncle about what he said to Kyuu and about his involvement with ZECT or Neo-ZECT, but this doesn't end there.
The device which turn out to be the Hyper ZEcter, now gives Kyuu the added power needed, but is it enough to fend off Rena Mamiya and her subordinates, who appear to resemble the Ultimate Being's pupa stage?
