Parasite Eve II: Armageddon
With the Beetle, Wasp and Dragonfly Zecters have been used on the Perfect Zecter, all that leaves the Scorpio Zecter that has not been used, so here the final arc of the Zecter Combination. Also, Ryoma is now reunited with his family and the Prince of Tennis characters are in attendance, but what if the impostor shows up?
-x-
Kyuu initiated his transformation to Kabuto, and then to Hyper Kabuto, and told Koizumi and Kyo to have the ANMcs gathered in one place and said he needed the Dragonfly Zecter. Koizumi did so as he de-armored himself as Hyper Kabuto presses a button on the Perfect Zecter.
Perfect Zecter: "DRAKE POWER…"
The Dragonfly Zecter then went to wards the perfect Zecter and docked itself in and with Koizumi nodding, they did what they were told and within minutes all of the ANMCs are in one place and Hyper Kabuto toggled the Perfect Zecter and it assumes "Gun Mode" after pressing a button which the Dragonfly Zecter docks in, and there Hyper Kabuto executed a new move, the Hyper Shooting,
Perfect Zecter: "HYPER SHOOTING…"
With the Perfect Zecter in "gun mode", it fires a powerful blast which hits the ANMC and finally destroyed the mutates and the school is saved. Kyuu reverted back to normal and hid his weapons, with Kyo and Koizumi following suit and so are Class F. a few minutes later the other DDS students emerged and are relieved that the carnage is over.
-x-
In the aftermath of the attack on DDS, Yamaki arrived and personally talked to Tezuka about what happened and that the "council" has put on hold Mishima's intention to punish him and that Kurosaki was able to persuade all within ZECT to consider the fact that with the Perfect Zecter in Kyuu's hands, all will be for the better in stopping Neo-ZECT.
As Tezuka was relieved, Kyuu and Kyo remained skeptical, as they felt that Yamaki is being deceived and decided to confide to him that he better be careful or he might be targeted by Mishina's wrath. There's no telling when ZECT's truce with Kyuu would end and what would happen if ZECT decided to use backstabbing tactics to get their hands on Kyuu's Zecters, and this is one scenario that Class Q and the others will have to anticipate.

Ch. 51: Zekutā no Kumiawase part 4
"Hmmnnn…"
"Good morning, sleeping beauty…"
"Huh? Fuji…?"
"Welcome back, Ryoma. It'd good to see that you are okay and in one piece. Seigaku has never been the same without you for the last nine months. We missed you sorely and we were praying continuously that one day you return to us…and our prayers have been answered…you are now here and back to your old self…and now you can start over again and pick up the pieces that were left behind…"
"Sensei…"
"Oh…the others are here to see you…come on in…our shorty's awake now…"
Upon opening his eyes, Ryoma realized that a few days has passed, and that he is confined at the Tokyo Hospital, which he slowly regained consciousness and finds himself surrounded and greeted by Syosuke Fuji and his coach, Sumire Ryuzaki, where they told him that, thanks to Koizumi's testimony, his innocence is proven and that he can go home a free person.
By then the rest of the Seigaku players came in and they all greeted Ryoma with a bevy of gifts, much to his embarrassment. The following team members, who appear sans Tezuka, are all in attendance and are wearing their Seigaku uniforms:
- Shusuke Fuji
- Shuichiro Oishi
- Eiji Kikumaru
- Takashi Kawamura
- Sadaharu Inui
- Takeshi Momoshiro
- Kaoru Kaidoh
Things went a little tense when Inui brought out his latest "Inui juice" which caused Ryoma to shriek out in terror and the others to back away towards the wall while Coach Ryuzaki urges him to stop bringing his "juice" and stand down, but Inui heard nothing and had him drank the juice, causing Ryoma to faint and the others tried to wake him up. The nurse arrived and saw what has happened and there she had the entire Seigaku team, except for Fuji and Ryuzaki, expelled from the hospital, while doctors try to revive a still-fainted Ryoma.
Oishi: "That's it, Inui…no more of that venomic drink…it's a good thing we weren't banned from the hospital…!"
Kikumaru: "Yeah…that drink of yours is cursed!"
Kawamura: "Don't ever make one again!"
Kaidoh: "And don't visit me in the hospital if I'm confined!"
Inui: "Guys…come on…I assure you this is healthy…"
Seigaku team members: "DON'T YOU DARE BRING THAT SHIT UP!"
-x-
A few days later, the rest of the Seigaku players came to pay him a visit much to Ryoma's embarrassment but nevertheless appreciated their company, but he affirmed that Inui not bring his "juice" with him, which is evident as Inui was restless without his "sacred beverage", but had to abstain himself after he got stern warning from the nurse in bringing them inside Ryoma's hospital room. Nevertheless things went well and that all are glad that Ryoma is cleared from the charges and he is proclaimed innocent, though they wondered why Tezuka isn't paying him a visit, though Ryoma seem to know why, as he sensed that Tezuka has some "loose ends" to tie up with ZECT.
-x-
At ZECT HQ, Riku Kotobuki made a courtesy call and told the "council" that they should not penalize Tezuka for his actions and that with Ryoma back to normal, and informed them that Tezuka intends to defeat the impostor Ryoma, so that the real Ryoma would play the role as Sasword, entertaining the idea of having him join ZECT, which the council states that they will decide, but agreed to spare Tezuka any punishment but still asserts that they will consider Kyuu a threat, though will still decide on whether if he is eligible to join ZECT or not.
-x-
Two days later Ryoma was discharged from the hospital and heads home with his coach accompanying him, and when they arrived at the Echizen house, all of the Seigaku players are in attendance, and his parents greeted him and a party is in session.
"Welcome home, shorty!"
"Glad that you're back home!"
"We still have a lot to do now that you're back with us!"
"And this time we will enter the national sports!"
"Better not get yourself kidnapped again…ssssssss…"
"Tezuka called and said he is going to join us shortly…so better enjoy yourself…"
"Care to try my latest Inui juice…?"
"NNNNOOOO!"
Ryoma and the rest of the Seigaku players screamed in unison and tied Inui up on a chair and gagged him, much to the Echizen parents' delight, and Nanjiro hugged his son while giving him his favorite softdrink while encouraging him to move on with his life and even challenged him to a friendly match one he is fully recovered and when he has the time.
"…be yourself always and move forward. I'm sure you'll eventually forget the ordeal you experienced…"
"Thanks, dad…"
"Now enjoy yourself…and when you have time…let's have a little tennis match together…"
"…okay…"
By then, Tezuka and Kyuu dropped by, and the rest are delighted to see and are rather intrigued to see Kyuu, especially after seeing him on TV about how he defeated Mitochondria Eve more than six months ago, but as the party went on, the Seigaku captain told everyone the reason why he and Kyuu came here and told them that he have a feeling that the impostor might show up and attack the real Ryoma, hence Kyuu's presence is needed.
"…really, captain? The impostor is still here…?"
"If so…how can we keep Ryoma safe if he and the fake faces off…?"
"Then I'll confront him while you keep Ryoma inside the house…Kyuu will keep an eye on him…"
However, a few minutes later, Kyuu's Parasite energy kicked in, and his "Parasite sense" tells him that the fake Ryoma has arrived, and the impostor showed up, and brought out his Yaiba Blade and points it towards the real Ryoma, challenging the Prince of Tennis to a duel, and with his teammates encouraging him, the Prince of Tennis accepted and his dad gives him a Dao sword to use and soon the two Ryoma's began to fight.
"Looks like I'll be enjoying this…"
"I'm going to make Neo-ZECT pay for causing me to miss school for nearly a year…now 'I'm really pissed off…you even used my image to cause crime…and this is a good time to blow off some steam, you impostor…!"
"Bring it on, you loser…!"
And so the fake Ryoma began to swing the Yaiba Blade and tried to slice Ryoma with it, but the Prince of Tennis appeared to retain his tennis poise as he was able to avoid the sword slashes and strikes and began to counter attack using his grace and used some of his tennis techniques, such as the Twist Serve and Cool Drive, and surprisingly, it sent the faker back, much to his surprise.
"Not bad for a human…but how about this…?"
Mirroring his counterpart, the fake began to use the same technique and this sent the real Ryoma going for the defensive and the two are now even in sword-fighting, and using his tennis techniques, though Ryoma gains the upper hand as he stages a comeback until the fake Ryoma summoned the Scorpio Zecter and that nearly costs the Prince of Tennis' life as the Zecter narrowly missed its target after Ryoma dodges it.
"You cheater!"
"No rules…except you die…henshin!"
The fake Ryoma then attaches the Scorpio Zecter onto the Yaiba Blade and this initiated his transformation to Sasword and began to attack the real Ryoma but his tennis skills helped him evade the attacks, though Tezuka feared that this would put his teammate in a predicament knowing he is in a severe disadvantage but then an idea forms within Kyuu's head and confided it to Tezuka. The Seigaku captain agreed to it.
"…agreed…but stay hidden…I'll distract him."
"Good."
-x-
As Sasword is still trying to reach him, an evil idea formed in his head and he used the "tubes" within his "Masked Form" and binds Ryoma, trapping him and is ready to kill him off when a hail of debris struck him and this caused Sasword to lose his hold on Ryoma, and when he turn around, he saw Tezuka in his armored guise as TheBee, and he had just initiated the "Cast Off" and is in his "Rider Form." Though amused, he wasn't looking forward to have fun with the Seigaku captain as he wanted to concentrate on killing Ryoma.
"Stay out of this."
"You want to kill him…get past me first."
"Your funeral, you four-eyed trash for a human…"
TheBee is getting ready to face off Sasword and this distraction on Sasword worked as by then Kyuu initiated his transformation to Kabuto, and then to Hyper Kabuto, and with TheBee fighting the fake Ryoma, he activated the Perfect Zecter to summon the Scorpio Zecter and Sasword is de-armored and there the fake Ryoma is wide open as Ryoma stabs him on his gut, but then backs away as the fake started to convulse, and then he began to initiate a transformation, as his body changed in size and appearance, his clothes ripped up, and finally revealed himself as a scorpion-type ANMC and began to attack Ryoma though TheBee blocked his path and uses the "Rider Sting", but was blocked and tossed aside as the ANMC is heading straight for the Prince of Tennis.
"Hey, eight legs! Over here!"
Turning around, he saw Hyper Kabuto standing there and is holding the Perfect Zecter as the Scorpio Zecter docks onto it and is ready for an attack.
Perfect Zecter: "SASWORD POWER…"
As the Scorpio ANMC goes straight for Hyper Kabuto, the armored Class Q leader toggles the Perfect Zecter and presses a button and there he initiated a new move which powers up the weapon and Tachyon energy is charged onto it, and is ready for the attack.
Perfect Zecter: "HYPER SLASH…"
As the Scorpio ANMC charged towards his target, Hyper Kabuto then slashes his opponent with a strong slice, and the mutate quivered in pain for half a minute before he exploded. This is because the "Hyper Slash" siphons energy from the Scorpio Zecter, causing the blade to drip venom in the same fashion as Sasword's Rider Slash, and this energy venom is stronger than the Scorpio ANMC's thus he is overwhelmed until his body couldn't take any more of it and succumbs.
The impostor is destroyed once and for all, and everyone within the Echizen residence is relieved that the threat is over and that Ryoma is finally freed and saved. The party then continued despite a few mess around the garden area, not minding it as the players agreed to help clean up the garden area once the party ended.
-x-
Near the end of the day, Tezuka approaches and gives the Yaiba Blade and the Scorpio Zecter to Ryoma and told him his help is needed to stop Neo-ZECT, and with the others encouraging him, Ryoma accepted, and now Tezuka contacted Yamaki about this development and in turn called ZECT HQ about inviting Ryoma to join ZECT, which the response was that a debate will be held.
Kyuu is glad that the Scorpio Zecter is in good hands and that he now seemed to have knowledge in using the Perfect Zecter now he knows all of the four "ultimate attacks" as long as Koizumi, Tezuka and Ryoma's Zecters are around him but then ponders as a thought hit him.
"Hmmm…I wonder…what would happen if all of the Zecters are docked in…?"

Now Ryoma's really back and he is freed from Neo-ZECT's clutches now that the impostor is dealt with and the Scorpio Zecter is now in his hands, though this would start another debate within Zect's Council after Kyuu has the Beetle, Hyper and Perfect Zecters.
And now…Kyuu wonders…if all of the four Zecters docked onto the Perfect Zecter at the same time…what would happen…?
Preview:
Another new enemy shows up…
And the clue: remember at the end of chapter 22 when Koizumi is shown a footage of Yukari being "raped"? And in chapter 36 where Tezuka showed to Koizumi the impostor impersonating Kyuu?
The next chapter will finally reveal who this Kyuu impostor is…and it'll give our Class Q leader a new set of trouble…
