Parasite Eve II: Armegeddon
The scene will shift to K' as he considers the words told to him by Wataru Kyurenai and now he intends to find out about his roots and is determined not to let Neo-ZECT keep secrets from him, which would result in getting expelled, but also to know why he is created in the first place.

As ambulances, SWAT and ZECT Troopers assists the survivors, Koizumi slipped away unnoticed as Mishima arrived and confronted the F-4 and Kanata demanding Koizumi's whereabouts, as they noticed that Drake is nowhere to be seen, but then the DDS students were not bothered knowing that he is here to reclaim the Dragonfly Zecter so they pretended that they didn't know where he went.
Koizumi then found a taxi parked and boarded and told the driver where his destination would be.
"Mt. Edo, please…and move it on the double."
"Okay, mac…but buckle up…it'll be a bumpy ride as we're heading to the hills…"
And so the taxi drives off safely before ZECT Troopers had the chance to inspect the parking lot where other taxis are waiting, as the cab drivers' eyes flashed Yen symbols as lots of people are going to use their taxis to get a ride home or at the hospitals.

Ch. 56: Furimuku
As the taxi cruises all the way to Mt. Edo, his thoughts raced back as to the footages showed to him back then by Hidenari Oda about K' being Kyuu, and he mentally regretted being suckered into thinking that Kyuu kidnapped Yukari, and after Kitazawa showed to him the footage of K' and Kyuu fighting using their Parasite Powers and then using Zecters, he wondered how strong this K' is what would happen if he were to face him. Though this could be his chance to get even for kidnapping Yukari, he couldn't jump to the gun yet as he has to consider what K' did to Kyuu.
"Darn…I guess revenge will have to wait for now…I'd better go and see how Kyuu Renjou is doing…as much as I hate to admit…he may be the only one to beat this K' once he's recovered from his injuries…since both of them have Parasite Energies on an even scale…"
-x-
Meanwhile, later that night, K' was praised by Neo-ZECT for bringing with him the Beetle, Hyper and perfect Zecters though they are unaware that he is starting to suspect something, and told him to report back later and head back to his quarters. Surprisingly they didn't bother asking him whether he killed Kyuu Renjou or not as having the three Zecters in their hands is enough for them.
"Well done, K'…well done…with the three Zecters in our hands…we are unstoppable…and with this…we can crush those foolish Japanese Diet…the Emperor and the Prime Minister…and DDS…well done…you are dismissed…you may go back to your quarters…we will call you if we need you…"
Though the ones speaking to K' is not shown, only Hidenari Oda is shown, and he wondered why his allies did not bother to ask if K' killed Kyuu Renjou or not, though his allies were not bothered by it even if Kyuu is killed or not. They appeared to be content with having the three Zecters with them for now that they don't seem to matter over anything else.
"Regardless…even if Kyuu survives…he won't be a threat…K' defeated him and brought the Zecters here…so it's no worry that if he tries to reclaim them…he won't survive the next encounter…and we will use the same tactic we used earlier…therefore…no need to worry over anything else…"
-x-
K' continues to walk towards his quarters but the nagging thoughts keep pounding his thinking as he continuously recalled what he was told earlier about him being the clone of Kyuu and that here in Neo-ZECT would he get the answers he seek about the origin of his individuality.
"Rest assured, clone of Kyuu Renjou…his life is important in this world…and if you choose to spare him…you will find the answer that you seek…and though I couldn't give you a direct answer…I can provide you clues to your search…"
"Like I said…I have no intention of fighting you…all I ask is for you to spare Kyuu Renjou. He is very important…and as you can see…I resembled him, for I am an alternate version of Kyuu Renjou…from another dimension…there about nine of us…and the one you defeated is among the nine. Some unknown enemy wishes to exterminate him…and I am tasked to ensure he won't get killed…and that is why I ask you to spare him."
"The clues on the key to your queries lie within the place where you were created…"
Despite his attempts to remove those thoughts he couldn't as his craving to know the truth kept on pestering him and there he recalled about how he defeated Kyuu Renjou, as the girl Kyuu is supposed to rescue grappled onto him and exploded, and injuring him severely. It wasn't part of his plans and he would feel more satisfying if he were to beat him on his own, not relying on underhand tactics.
"The answer lies here, huh…? If this were to be proved false…I'll make a fried bat out of that gothic-looking version of Kyuu…"
-x-
At Kitazawa Laboratory in Mt. Edo, Ken Kitazawa was relieved to see Koizumi coming back after he and the other DDS students narrowly defeated Rena Mamiya and now that one of Neo-ZECT's core threats is removed, they are a step ahead in defeating them, but then Koizumi reminded to them that this is far from over.
"Though we managed to kill Rena…don't forget…there's that Kyuu-clone that beat Kyuu…not to mention that liar Hidenari Oda…and let's not forget what you told me…ZECT wanted Kyuu…and it's likely that ZECT would recruit me because I have the Dragonfly Zecter…"
"Point taken…"
He then asked Ken to show him again the footage he got on Kyuu and his clone fighting, which is about the battle between Kabuto and Dark Kabuto. As Professor Kitazawa finished tending to the Class Q leader's wounds, Ken Kitazawa sent text messages to other DDS students about what happened. Koizumi and the Kitazawa's decided to retire for the night and before going to sleep he sent text messages to the Para-Kiss crew that he'll be staying at Mt. Edo for tonight.
"Please recover soon, Kyuu…you're the only one who can beat Neo-ZECT…"
-x-
Back at Neo-ZECT K' was walking towards his quarters when he happened to pass by two Neo-ZECT Troopers and overheard them saying that K' is indeed Kyuu's clone because he is based on Satoru, Mizue and Kyuu Renjou's DNA, as well as his Parasite Energy based on Kyuu, and that as long as he does not learn of this fact he will remain under Neo-ZECT control.
"So this K' is just a product of DNA from the Renjou family…but where did he get those fire powers?"
"Where else…? Kyuu Renjou. He's the only brat in DDS to have such power…of course it's all thanks to his Mitochondria cells…and with the higher-ups boosting his power…K' is stronger than that Renjou brat…and even if that Renjou brat beats K'…he won't win as long as he has the Dark Beetle Zecter with him…"
"And the little Eve bitch?"
"Just like K'…she's a product of the DNA of the Renjou parents…don't know how…but the higher-ups from Neo-ZECT managed to obtain Daddy Renjou's cryogenically-preserved sperm…then Mommy Renjou's egg cells…couple that with Kyuu's Parasite DNA…and we got ourselves our own Renjou…Eve."
""Wait…if K' is Kyuu Renjou's clone…shouldn't he be a baby…?
"Neo-ZECT scientists must've accelerated his growth…"
"What would K' do if he finds out about it…?"
"He won't…as long as we shut ourselves up…that's what our bosses said…"
As the Neo-ZECT Troopers walked away, K' was infuriated at what he just discovered and glanced at his right hand that is still covered in his red glove.
"So…what that Wataru Kyurenai said is true…I'm just a carbon copy of Kyuu Renjou…why did Neo-ZECT created me in the first place…? Why? I can't accept this! I'm my own person! Wait…I still need to get definite answers…the answers are somewhere here within this base…!"
Pissed and insulted, but nevertheless focused, K' sneaked into the lower levels of the base until he came across the science laboratory and went inside undetected, and there he managed to guess correctly the data he needed to download to check on the computers. There he learned about his origins as well as Eve's.
It turn out that Hidenari Oda stole the cells extracted from Kyuu and took DNA samples of Kyuu himself s well as the DNA of the Renjou parents then secretly left ZECT HQ to form Neo-ZECT, and there things were self-explanatory, up to the point where K' himself is created, along with the new Eve, although a slight miscalculation caused his skin color to become tanned, yet he still resembles the real Kyuu, but an unexpected side effect is shown, such as having while hair instead of his dark-green hair like Kyuu Renjou.
"So…this is how I was created…and this Eve in the base…so then…she and I…are siblings by DNA…and Kyuu Renjou…no…I won't accept him…until then…I will seek my path to destiny…though I can't take her out of the base…"
-x-
Upon leaving the lab, he sneaked to the other section of the base and found the three Zecters placed there and made sure no one is around, and in a quick thinking of a way, he replaced them with fake items identical to the real Zecters and sneaked the real items out of the room and secretly head for the secret exit to escape undetected.
"At least this is my way of getting even for being deceived…though I have no intention of siding with Kyuu Renjou…at least he can do better in defeating Neo-ZECT…but I won't face him…but at least I know who I can sent these items to…"
K' decided to hide himself until the night arrives so as to use the darkness to conceal his escape without encountering any resistance. He then realizes that by then the scientist would discover the fake Zecters and would probably sent their troopers to search for the real Zecters.
-x-
As the night went on, K' made sure no one else is around as he continued to trek the tunnels leading to the outside of the Shelter as he continued to sneaked out with the three Zecters and is halfway in making his way out when confronted by Daisuke Motomiya and Ken Ichijouji, who saw him carrying the three Zecters.
"Hey…aniki…look where he is going…"
"Why are you going out carrying those Zecters? Who gave you the order?"
"None of your business…"
"What did you say…?"
"Get out of my way…I have no business with you two…you should instead do monkey business…"
"You dare laugh at me?"
"Aniki…I sense something here…I smell a rat…"
By then one of the scientists came and told the two to stop K' from leaving with the three Zecters, and there the two brainwashed DDS students are getting hyped, and taking pleasure in punishing K' for the insults he made.
"I was right…a rat is here…"
"Yeah…and it looks like we'll be getting a good reward for trashing a traitor…and bringing the Zecters back to our bosses…so what do you say…partner?"
"Let's kill him…"
And so the two went after K' to try and beat him and physically take the Zecters back by force but he managed to keep them back with kicks and punches though he chose not to use his Parasite Energy as this would alert the guards so he had to use the old fashion way but he knew he cannot afford to waste time or else the guards would come and sense the problem and had to think of a way out without compromising himself as a thought hit him, though the other two thought ahead of him.
"Aniki…let's do the Hopper way!"
"I'm with you…partner!"
Before they were about to summon their Hopper Zecters, K' summoned the Dark Beetle Zecter and struck the two brainwashed teens on their heads and knocks them down and he snapped his right hand and the scientist was set on fire and died on the spot, so he wouldn't alert the guards and K' then proceeded to secretly leave Neo-ZECT base.
"At least I can leave safely without getting caught…"
Seeing that he is out of the base, he continued to trek through down the road and there he initiated his transformation to Dark Kabuto in Masked Form and after toggling with his Zecter he assumed Rider Form.
"Goodbye, Neo-ZECT…one day I will have my revenge on you…"
Activating the Clock Up mechanism, he traveled away from Shizuoka Island in a speed of sound and is now far away, though he'll have to find a way of transportation to get the Zecters to DDS but then a thought hit him. Since he's a clone of Kyuu, he should have knowledge of Kyuu's contacts and started to think of someone who can deliver the Zecters to Kyuu.
"As much as I hate doing this…it can't be helped…I'll have to contact Kyuu Renjou's allies…but why am I doing this as I have a certain dislike for that boy…? Nevertheless…I'll see to it that I will rescue Eve…and take her with me…I'll protect her as Kyuu Renjou cannot…I do not trust him well enough…"
Dark Kabuto continues to travel away as the Clock Up mechanism ticks down though he is now far away from Neo-ZECT HQ and there he will contemplate on making his next move.
To Be Continued…

Looks like K' has turned around…though he's far from being a "good guy" as he still has issues with Kyuu, but at least he severed his ties with Neo-ZECT and is going to send the Zecters to Kyuu in some way…

The secret of the space station being built by Neo-ZECT is slowly being unraveled…and more are on the way…
