Parasite Eve II: Armageddon

Kyuu gets a reprieve as he assumed Hyper form and becomes Hyper Kabuto. Now see him in action as he demonstrates what power the Hyper Zecter can give him…and it'll be action-packed to the max before we resume the usual plot…

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 Mode 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. Rena then took a cheap shot by punching Kabuto on 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, which is located at the right hip of his Zecter Belt and places the Hyper Zecter there, then presses the Hyper Zecter's Horn switch, and within moments he is initiated in a series of transformations, assuming Hyper Form.

Hyper Zecter: "CHANGE HYPER BEETLE...!"

As Kabuto assumes the Hyper form, it dramatically altered his armored appearance, as this armored appearance is a stronger version of his usual Rider Form. While it vaguely resebles the Rider Form, Hyper Kabuto's appearance has additional armored plates and his helmet horn became slightly larger, which resembled a giant beetle. Rena was quite taken aback, seeing that Kyuu now has additional power but is confident enough to face him, curious at what the power of the Hyper Zecter can do.

Ch. 45: Saidai Shōhi Denryoku

"My subordinates...go and get him. See what he can do and show him that this isn't child's play...and see if you can get BOTH Zecters from him. You have the option to kill him if you get the chance. AND make sure not to give him room."

With that, Rena's subordinates uses their own "Clock Up" abilities and began getting cheap shots at Hyper Kabuto, but the Class Q leader managed to defend himself and then tapped the red orb-like pad of the Hyper Zecter and then nchanted the voice command prompt.

"Hyper Clock Up!"

Hyper Zecter: "HYPER CLOCK UP...!"

With that, Hyper Kabuto's back opened, revealing Tachyon-like energy and a projection of a beetle's wing emerged, while spikes appeared on his armored ankles. Then he released an energy burst that sent her subordinates reeling back but they got up and began to use their speed to get back on the game.

Rena Mamiya glanced in curiosity as Kyuu activated the Hyper Clock Up of the Hyper Zecter, and from there Hyper Kabuto, in Hyper Cast Off, began to counter-attack her subordinates and she wondered if the DDS student has what it takes to possess such a device so she ordered her subordinates, who then recovered, to take on their target, but Hyper Kabuto was starting to gain ground as his upgraded form managed to weaken and kill the two ANMCs.

"This is not good...he now can move at faster speed while in his upgraded form...I cannot afford to let myself get beaten by a boy who has the power of Mitochondria Eve...I'll have to kill him if could. Then after I succeeded, I'll take both Zecters from him..."

As the remaining subordinates of Rena reeled back, his Hyper Cast Off wore off after fighting for about 10 seconds, and reverted to his Hyper form, but it appeared that Hyper Kabuto wasn't breaking a sweat, and this ticked off Rena's subordinates and attempted to take him down the moment he stopped after the Hyper Clock Up was deactivated, pummeling him with brutal force, but then he raised his arms and pulled himself up, sending them reeling back. He then grabbed one of his targets and did a deep punch, sending her reeling back, then grabbed another and did the same, and again on the 3rd target and another on the 4th target, lining them up.

"Okay...let's try it again..."

Pressing the lever of the Hyper Zecter and chanting the voice command, Hyper Kabuto assumes Hyper Cast Off form and again he tried an experiment as he presses the lever again, this time another voice command spoke, much to Kyuu and Rena's surprises.

Hyper Zecter: "MAXIMUM RIDER POWER..."

"Hmm...not bad...okay, then..."

Then he presses the three buttons of the Beetle Zecter, expecting something good would come out of it since both Zecters are now connected on his Zecter Belt and thus he can come up with a stronger finishing blow. Rena is getting a little rattled seeing what her target is about to do, wondering if he could pull something off that easily.

"Seriously...that brat can't pull off something like..."

Beetle Zecter: "1-2-3..."

"Rider Kick!"

After toggling the horn of the Beetle Zecter, the next voice prompt came from the Hyper Zecter as the Beetle Zecter's Tachyon energy travelled towards the Hyper Zecter and then it coursed around his Hyper Form's armored body, energizing him and his "wings" flashed brightly, and then flew into the air, marking the first time that Kabuto can fly.

Hyper Zecter: "RIDER KICK...!"

Hyper Kabuto flew into the air then descends down diagonally and performed a left-legged flying kick, hitting all of Rena's subordinates and an explosion occur, and after a minute of smoke and flames, the scene emerged after the smoke cleared, as Kabuto stood still, his Hyper Clock Up deactivated and returned to his Hyper Form, pointing his finger at Rena.

"If a detective gives up...the case will never be solved...and now I'm intending to solve this case...are you connected to Neo-ZECT? Who sent you and how and why do you know about the two Zecters?"

"Grr...why do you ask when you're about to die?"

Rena was seething in anger and frustration at the unexpected defeat of her subordinates and she activated her Parasite form, which appeared to be a weaker-looking version of Mitochondria Eve yet her power tells a different story and both fought each other and the fight is even until she started to gain the upper hand as she revealed that she too is capable of possessing a power similar to the "Clock Up".

"Oooff!"

Parasite Rena kept up on the momentum as she flew and ran around using her "Clock Up" abilities and landed several sneak attack blows that send Hyper Kabuto reeling, and as he tried to anticipate her next attack, she was all over him, managing to keep him in one place while delivering several blows and she never let up until he fell to the ground. As he gets up, she does a front kick that sent him crashing against a car, and evaded it as she tries another frontal kick.

There Kyuu accidentally activated the "Hyper Clock Up" and though he realized it he settled for this one in order to match the speed used by "Parasite Rena", assuming Hyper Clock Up form and the two are again at an even pace until both stopped as they try to find another opening.

"Darn you...you're really good…but I won't allow you to do another flying kick...!"

As Parasite Rena grappled onto Kabuto, the two went airborne since he is in Hyper Cast off form, but as he tries to punch her out, she kept on holding him and even landed a few blows, and after 10 seconds the Hyper clock Up mechanism was over and both plunged down, right in the heart of Tokyo park, as several pedestrians noticed the commotion and saw the fight, and yet they were intrigued rather than scared.

"Isn't that...Mitochondria Eve...?"

"She looked weaker...check out her size..."

"Mommy...look...a real live beetle..."

"A human-sized mecha beetle...?"

"Cool..."

"Hey, man...check that out..."

"Whoa! A Kamen Rider! Shinier and beetle-looking!"

By then a squadron of Chaser-Type ANMCs came and this is where the show ended as they plowed through some of the pedestrians, killing them along the way, causing the rest to ran off in terror and both Hyper Kabuto and Parasite Rena are left, amid the corpses of the ones killed, and they slowly overwhelmed Hyper Kabuto though he managed to fight back as he began pressing the buttons of his Beetle Zecter.

Beetle Zecter: "1-2-3..."

"Rider Kick!"

Beetle Zecter: "RIDER KICK..."

Despite being in Hyper form, Kabuto is still able to access his regular finishing move and activated the Rider Kick (standing roundhouse kick) and performed the move, which sends the Chaser-type ANMCs thrown back, and some exploded, reducing their numbers while "Parasite Rena" tries to intervene but was held back as the remaining Chaser-Type ANMCs tried to ram through Hyper Kabuto, so he tried to get an opening by jumping back and presses the lever of the Hyper Zecter, assuming Hyper Clock Up form once more and then he presses the lever of the Hyper Zecter again, and another voice command spoke, much to Rena's surprise.

Hyper Zecter: "MAXIMUM RIDER POWER..."

Seizing the chance, Hyper Kabuto began pressing the buttons of the Beetle Zecter again.

Beetle Zecter: "1-2-3..."

"Rider Kick!"

After toggling the horn of the Beetle Zecter, the next voice prompt came from the Hyper Zecter as the Beetle Zecter's Tachyon energy travelled towards the Hyper Zecter and then it coursed around his Hyper Form's armored body, energizing him and his "wings" flashed brightly, and then flew into the air, ready to execute his finishing move for the 3rd time.

Hyper Zecter: "RIDER KICK...!"

With this, Hyper Kabuto activated the "Hyper Rider Kick", which is a charging flying kick, which sends the ANMCs back and exploded, and in the midst of the explosion, the blast also caught Parasite Rena and injured her, which she reverted back to her human form, and in her injured state, she was forced to retreat.

Kyuu now got an additional power in the form of the Hyper Form, and this surely saved him from getting beaten up and killed. Now with the power of the Hyper Zecter in his hands, the Class Q leader will surely save DDS and Japan, but also expect ZECT and Neo-ZECT to go ballistic at seeing him as a potential and dangerous threat.

Preview:

Kyuu gets another power-up, but I can't say what it is...so check out next chapter to see what he's about to get...
