Parasite Eve II: Armageddon

A two-way battle ensues in this chapter as Tezuka's ZECT team and Kyuu's gang are locked in battle until Rena Mamiya came in to crash their fight, and plans to steal the Perfect Zecter. So expect a huge battle to take place, while we also shift on the Hopper Riders, having a fight of their own.

Arriving at Shizuoka Island 40 minutes later, Kyu pointed out to Kyo and Koizumi about where he first found the entrance to "The Shelter" and as the trio are about to head there when Tezuka and several ZECT Troopers and Shadow Troopers arrived and demanded to Kyuu to surrender the Beetle and Hyper Zecters, which he promised that they'll leave if Kyuu do so. Tezuka raises the Perfect Zecter, getting ready to use it on Kyuu anytime but he first gave him an ultimatum.

"Hand over the Zecters…and you have my word…we'll leave you alone."

"I'm sorry…I can't…not right now…but I'll give them to you after this crisis is solved…"

"You don't understand…"

"No…you don't understand…"

While Kyo and Koizumi summoned their Zecters, Kyuu held them back and went to Tezuka, telling him his deduction why the Seigaku team captain joined ZECT in the first place, and told him that the REAL Ryoma has been rescued, surprising Tezuka.

"What? Ryoma Echizen is saved? How did you know all of this?"

"Ask Koizumi here…he's the one who told us…and he has the proof to back it up…"

Koizumi then showed to Tezuka the tape that Daigo Tachikawa brought to them and after a quick look, Tezuka is convinced that his "charge " is saved, and now he has nothing more to worry about, and now he can face any criticism ZECT would impose on him should he decided to side with Kyuu and Koizumi.

At this point, Rena Mamiya arrived with upgraded versions of the Golem-Type ANMCs as well as a huge number of Stalker-type ANMCs, and again she challenges Kyuu claiming that not even Kabuto's Hyper Form can save him this time.

"You said what?"

"You hear me well, Y-Chromosomal Adam…this time I can defeat you…once the Perfect Zecter is a in my hands…"

Tezuka stared wide-eyed, surprised that Rena knows about the Perfect Zecter even though no one within ZECT has spilled this fact to anyone, and now he suspects that there is a "mole" within ZECT HQ, and he started to feel that there is a spy among their ranks.

Ch. 48: Zekutā no Kumiawase part 1

Seeing the situation at hand, Kyo and Koizumi initiated their transformations to Gatack and Drake and went ton to face the ANMC army while Tezuka instructed the ZECT and Shadow Troopers to join the battle, despite getting radio calls from Mishima to go after Kyuu, which Tezuka stated that he no longer obey "reckless orders" as he now know that his "reason" for joining ZECT is now found. He initiated his transformation to TheBee and went for Rena, who changed into her Parasite form just as Kyuu initiated his transformation into Kabuto.

Mishima: "What was that? You're orders are capturing the Zecters from that boy!"

TheBee: "And there are about 25 ANMC…including an Eve-type ANMC…and we're all being surrounded! The troopers under my command will deal with them! For now my team will deal with the bigger threat. And whether you like it or not…Kyuu Renjou is our ally here. Berate me later once I return to HQ. Tezuka out."

Mishima: "Don't you dare sign out of me, you ingrate…!"

TheBee turned off his codec as he went for Rena, who changed into her Eve-type form and deflected his initial punch which she punched him back, sending him staggering back but he appeared to be relatively unharmed, and he goes for another punch attack and again she shoved him back, this time he hits the ground., and he is more determined to fight her now that his initial reason for joining ZECT is fulfilled and now he can concentrate on dealing with Rena.

Meanwhile, Kabuto and Gatack (in their Masked Forms) joins Drake in using their projectile weapons in dealing with the Stalker-type ANMCs and managed to decrease their numbers to a handful while the Golem-type ANMCs remained still and are awaiting their next orders. However, as the Stalker-types are finally eradicated, it was then that the Golems acted and slowly charged towards the trio.

When seeing TheBee assume Rider Form and is struggling against "Parasite Rena", Kabuto decided to go help him as Gatack and Drake assumed their Rider Forms which minutes later killed at least three of the Golems using their finishers, the Rider Kick and Rider Shooting respectively.

As Kabuto joins TheBee in fighting Rena in her Parasite form, he realized that she is no pushover as she was able to land several strong blows and could feel her attacks even in Masked Form, so he toggled with his Zecter and initiated Rider Form and uses the "Clock Up" mechanism, and seeing this prompts TheBee to do the same, but to their surprise, Rena seem to be aware of this and uses her "telekinesis" to shove the two back, and this went on until the effects of the "Clock Up" expired.

"Even you're famed "Clock Up" is no match for my Parasite powers…I can still function even during time itself stopped…your end is drawing near and soon the infamous Y-Chromosomal Adam will perish in my hands…so brace yourself and look forward to dying, you worthless humans…"

After regaining their composures, both Kabuto and TheBee tried their hands in taking her down but like in their previous encounters, but she is too strong to deal with so Kabuto initiated his reverse "Cast Off" and assumed Masked Form again, and when Kabuto attempts to hold her while TheBee initiated the Rider Sting, but then with a blink of her eye from Parasite Rena, he is telekinetically shoved back, and so was Kabuto. Seeing that this tactic failed, the Kabuto initiated "Cast Off" again and he in his Rider form once more and again tries to resort in weakening her by using "Clock Up", but even "Parasite Rena" was able to sense Kabuto's presence and managed to knock him down. TheBee is starting to get a bit desperate as he knew he can't let her get her hands on the Perfect Zecter, but then that fact appeared to give him hope.

"She's too powerful and even my Rider Sting can't get close to her…unless…of course! This might come in handy…now if I could get closer to her…I might be able to defeat her…and then the threat will gradually lessen…"

Getting an idea, TheBee makes an attempt to use the Perfect Zecter at her but she caught him and beat him up, sending him crashing against the mountain wall, de-armoring him and disabling him.

"Now that's one down…two more humans and a freak to go…go, Golems…kill them all!"

Gatack and Drake saw that and tried to help Tezuka but the ANMC army held them back and the two are forced to focus on them as the ZECT and Shadow Troopers are slowly being killed off, reducing their numbers and the two are forced to go on the defensive, seeing that the tide of the battle is going against them, but Drake thought of a way to slow them down. Toggling with his Zecter, Drake initiated the Rider Shooting and succeeding in reducing the Golem-type ANMC to just 13, but the Golems kept on advancing.

"Darn…I need at least three minutes to recharge..Kyo..we'll have to fight them manually…!"

"That's just darn great…! Blast! Tezuka needs our help!"

"Let your brother deal with her…I think he has a trump card up his sleeve…!"

Seeing that Tezuka is too dazed to get up and fearing that Parasite Rena might kill him, Kabuto activated the Hyper Zecter to assume Hyper Form and tried to get her, but a more prepared Rena was now able to counter her opponent's attacks, sending him reeling until he found the Perfect Zecter on his foot.

"Huh? This is…"

Managing to wake up, Tezuka saw Kabuto holding the Perfect Zecter and realized that he may be the only one to stop their attackers so he shouted to him to use it, seeing that this is their only option left in order to defeat the advancing ANMCs and Rena.

"Renjou! Use the Perfect Zecter! Press a button and you'll be able to do the rest!"

Upon hearing Tezuka's words, Kabuto did a careful toggling, and he accidentally pressed a button and this caused the weapon to summon the Beetle Zecter and docked onto the Perfect Zecter but strangely Kyuu remained in Hyper Form and a high-pitched voice spoke from the weapon.

Perfect Zecter: "KABUTO POWER…"

After another careful observation and toggling, Kabuto was able to figure out how to utilize the weapon and presses a button where the next moment led to the Golems' defeat, much to Rena shock and disbelief at seeing what is about to happen. After hitting the button, the Perfect Zecter starts to emit a powerful laser-like blade and there it siphons energy from the Kabuto Zecter, reinforcing the blade with a tachyon-charged blade gradient that allows for a powerful slash attack.

Perfect Zecter: "HYPER BLADE…"

Hyper Kabuto then performed a powerful energy slash attack that destroys the Golem, and performed the Hyper Blade on the remaining ANMCs beside Rena, killing them. Rena, still in her Eve form, ponders on what to do next as Hyper Kabuto brandishes the Perfect Zecter and is ready to face off Rena.

Meanwhile, the battle rages on as the Hopper Riders are facing the arriving SWAT members of the police and tries to use their weapons on them, but within minutes the streets became a pool of blood as bodies pile up while being dismembered by a few punches and kicks. The officer managed to get inside his mobile car and radio for help.

"Emergency…emergency…! We're being attacked by two armored suspects! No…they're not armed but they packed a punch…nearly all my squad members are being killed off! Requesting help…"

Hopper Zecter: "RIDER PUNCH…"

As the beleaguered officer peered through the window, he sees Punch Hopper standing there and punched the car, and it exploded, killing the officer who is summoning help. He then went back to the fight where War-Greymon is fending off Kick Hopper, as the Digimon couldn't afford to leave himself open but he couldn't leave Taichi alone, who is injured and is in danger of dying if not given emergency treatment.

As the minutes passed by, War-Greymon was able to hold off the Hopper Riders while Rika Nonoka and Henry Wong of Class T passes by and saw the situation, and as the two dragged a still-unconscious Taichi away, Terriermon and Renamon went into battle, but they were too late as the Hopper Riders executed their finishers and narrowly defeated War-Greymon, who reverted back to being Agumon. As Renamon handles Punch Hopper, Terriermon evolves to Rapidmon and handles Kick Hopper and both managed to hold off and were able to drive the Hopper Riders away.

In reality, the Hopper Riders were summoned via their codec and were ordered to retreat for now.

Looks like the Seigaku captain now has no reason to blindly follow ZECT's orders now that he knows that Ryoma is in good hands, and he can freely assist Kyuu in fighting off Neo-ZECT. Moreover, you get to see the first of the many abilities of the Perfect Zecter, in which it can be used by Kyuu, provided that he is in his Hyper Form.

Preview:

More freebies from the Perfect Zecter as Kyuu tries out what the weapon he got can do...and see what happens if he uses another Zecter to fuse with his new-found weapon…and the results can be exciting..and suspenseful…
