Parasite Eve II: Armageddon
You are now reading the final chapter for the current arc, as the next chapters will be the FINAL ARC of this fic, though in this chapter twists and turns will happen here as the organization that appeared in Parasite Eve will TURN against DDS after the alliance would turn into a dis-alliance…while DDS are now preparing to do a stake out at Neo-ZECT base to save Eve and shut down the space station dubbed "Jacob's ladder"…

Kyuu and K' had a stare down and the atmosphere became quite tensed as he tries to persuade his clone to call of the duel but K' refuses to heed, and there initiated his transformation, with Kyuu following suit upon seeing this, and the two are now in their armored forms of Kabuto and Dark Kabuto, right in their Masked Forms and they slowly walked around in circles.
As Kabuto and Dark Kabuto began fighting and both fought with sheer intensities and traded punches and kicks, going back and forth within the park. Dark Kabuto then initiated Rider Form and goes on the offensive which Kabuto is on the receiving end until he initiated Rider Form and regains his momentum and the two resorted to use "Clock Up" to match Dark Kabuto's "Clock Up", and the two were even.
Despite that the "Clock Up" mechanism is still in effect, both continued to punch and kick away and K' felt that he is pleased with the fight, as he no longer felt pressured into doing someone's orders and that no one is interfering, and now he can concentrate on dealing with Kyuu, wanting to prove his superiority over Kyuu to show that he is no mere clone, but as an independent person.
Dark Kabuto was starting to gain ground and began to get Kabuto to back away after landing several blows but Kabuto bounces back with his own counterattacks, and after getting some space he brought out the Hyper Zecter, and Dark Kabuto anticipates that Kyuu is going to assume Hyper Form, but to his surprise, Kyuu de-armored himself and backed away.
"What…? Why are you stopping…?"
"Now isn't the time…I have other important things to do than going for a meaningless fight…"
Dark Kabuto then asked why Kyuu did not try to use the Hyper Zecter to assume Hyper Form, in which the Class Q leader said in reply that he knows that Dark Kabuto is not a dirty fighter, and that someone needs help, which he said that Eve must be saved from Neo-ZECT's clutches and then he asks K' to join forces with him in opposing Neo-ZECT, but he declines and asked if Kyuu has what it takes to stop Neo-ZECT, and when Kyuu says yes, and seeing Kyuu's firm resolve, K' departed, making Kyuu promise to get "Eve" out of Neo-ZECT.

Ch. 60: Daburutān
After K' departed, Kyuu went back to DDs where the other DDS sections are relieved to see him alright and in one piece while others congratulated for showing K' who is boss though Kyuu himself felt that he'll be hearing from him again though he is at least relieved that K' is no longer an enemy, though he is a bit disappointed that K' didn't became an ally, as his strength is an added boost to dismantle Neo-ZECT.
"Well…at least he won't be harassing me for a while…right now let's get the show on the road…we'll be making our move and shut down that space station before they reach its completion. Dan-sensei…we'll be back in one piece…we detective students will never give up."
"Good to hear that, Kyuu."
And so the DDS crew await the arrival of Yamaki so that they can hear from him to know whether ZECT would aid them in stopping Neo-ZECT or not, which they hope that they'll join and team up with DDS.

Meanwhile, Ryoma was approached by Mishima at the Echizen residence and is surprised to see Tezuka there and asked the Prince of Tennis if he decided to join ZECT or not, though there was a few minutes of silence as Ryoma eyed Mishima, then glances at the Yaiba Blade and the Scorpio Zecter, as he felt attached to the two devices, as he felt he wanted to join ZECT so he can avail of the benefits, but that would also mean leaving Seigaku and his tennis career behind. By then finally gives out his answer.
"Thank you for the offer, Mr. Mishima…but I humbly decline the offer…I've thought about this for a week, and I realized that I'm more suited in the tennis court than in the battlefield itself, so my apologies, but I can't accept it. I do hope you understand and accept my decision to turn down your offer."
"I see…I accept and respect your decision…but in doing so, you must surrender the Zecter and the blade."
Mishima told Ryoma to surrender the Zecters and weapons as he claims that they're properties of ZECT, and surprisingly, the Prince of Tennis willingly surrenders, and Tezuka gave his Zecter as well, stating that he is quitting because he refused to lay a hand on Kyuu. Mishima is rather surprised to see this and saw him handing the Wasp Zecter and Wrist Brace, and he took them calmly, while eyeing Tezuka, seeing that he means what he said.
"So this is your answer, Tezuka?"
"Yes…and that's final. I rather stay with Seigaku than going against Kyuu Renjou."
Though displeased at first by the Seigaku captain's comments, Mishima was nevertheless satisfied that he has the two Zecters and devices, thus he can now find and appoint new recruits who would obey ZECT's orders without questions, and now he can concentrate on doing his job with less opposition, so he left the area and as soon as Mishima's limousine is out of sight, the two Seigaku players head out to DDS.
-x-
At DDS, several minutes later, Tezuka and Ryoma arrived and revealed to Kyuu that what they surrendered are fake imitations of the Zecters that even Mishima himself is easily fooled and there they showed out their real Zecters and expressed their willingness to help in invading Neo-ZECT to save Japan and stop their madness once and for all.
"We rather use the Zecters to help you after all that you've done for Japan…and I know you are the MAIN character here, Kyuu…you're Parasite powers may be the only thing to help you get Eve out of her confinement…but you may have to kill her should she goes out of control like the mutated baby you fought eight months ago…"
"Me too…I'm doing this after Koizumi saved me as well as to get even at Neo-ZECT for using my image to do their dirty work…"
"Thanks, you two…I appreciate it…"
Daisuke and Ken came and brought with them their Hooper Zecters and are also joining in on invading Neo-ZECT, and Kazuma lay out the blueprint of the Neo-ZECT base located in Shizuoka Island and summoned all of the DDS sections to discuss the plans on doing a "divide and conquer" tactic. Miyako then came and told them that Taichi and the first-generation Chosen Children are to join on their quest and that V-Mon, Patamon and other Digimons perished a year ago are to be revived, much to Daisuke and Ken's delight and so they all began their careful planning on going onto their final battle against Neo-ZECT.
"Really…I'm going to be reunited with V-Mon…!"
"And Stingmon…I really missed him…!"
Miyako also pointed out that Hawkmon, Armadimon and the other Digimon who perished are also going to be revived, so now they'll have lots of alies to aid DDS in taking down Neo-ZECT, so now they are going full steam and began to lay the work while awaiting Yamaki's arrival.
-x-
A few minutes later, Yamaki arrived at DDS and oversaw the planning and suggested that the team be split up which Dan agreed to based on the numbers that they have , and the advantage they got so far:
1) Kyuu and Kyo will rescue "Eve" while others are to keep the others busy causing distractions at the entrance of the Shelter as Kabuto and Gatack will use their "Clock Up" to sneak inside undetected;
2) Drake, TheBee and Sasword will use the Digi-gate to sneak inside Jacob's Ladder to disable the space station to disrupt whatever Neo-ZECT is up to, then head back here on Earth;
3) The Hopper Riders will lead the other DDS sections and the police and SWAT in dealing with the ANMCs should Neo-ZECT decide to unleash them if they are to lose the battle.
As the suggestion is met with approval, Yamaki told them that he is still in the process of getting ZECT to join their fight though he is surprised to hear that Mishima got the fake Zecters after he demanded their surrender when Ryoma turn down the invitation. He then left to speak with Riku Kotobuki. Daisuke was quite apprehensive at what's going to happen as he told Kyuu he is skeptical on ZECT's commitment in stopping Neo-ZECT while Kyuu wondered if what Daisuke thinks is right or not.
"Really…is ZECT with us or against us…? Is it because they dislike me for defeating Melissa Pearce and the Ultimate Being…?"
-x-
At Shibuya, Class G went to Ran's house to inform Taizo Kotobuki about their planned invasion on Neo-ZECT and he reluctantly gave them his blessing and made them promise to return safely. By then, Riku arrived after getting a text message from Yamaki to meet him here. There he heard from Taizo about this and glanced at his niece, and gave her his blessing though Ran was reluctant to accept it.
"Uncle Riku…please…tell us what you know about ZECT…do you know that the organization that you helped founded is acting erratically because of Kyuu…?"
"Isn't it enough about what I told you about?"
"Not enough…we're now unsure if we could trust ZECT or not…"
"I see…very well…I'll tell what I haven't told you about…"
But before Riku could commence his speech, Yamaki arrived, and he asked Riku what is happening at ZECT and told him why is ZECT now demanding the re-acquisition of the Zecters after Tezuka chose to side with Kyuu while Ryoma turn down their offer, and before Riku could comment on this, ZECT Troopers arrived and informed Yamaki and Riku that they are relieved of their posts and no longer affiliated with ZECT and demanded their surrender.
"Riku Kotobuki and Mitsuo Yamaki…the Council informed us that you're no longer affiliated with ZECT…so now you must surrender and come with us peacefully. Nothing personal, we're just following orders…"
"So what Yamaki and my niece said is true…your jealousy towards Kyuu has made you act reckless…"
"What do you mean? I co-founded ZECT! Why are you aiming your weapons against us! Neo-ZECT is your enemy…not us! And Kyuu Renjou is our ally in this! Cease this foolishness right now!"
Miyu Yamazaki peered through the window and saw several ZECT Troopers are storming the house, surrounding them from the outside and sensed that something is definitely wrong. And she whispered to Ran about this, thus confirming the Super GAL her suspicions that ZECT has gone rogue.
"Ran...it seems that our worse case scenario has become a reality...it seems that ZECT is determined to oust Kyuu..."
"I agree, Miyu...and what's worse...they're holding us, and my uncle at gunpoint...it seems that they no longer need DDS or Kyuu...we'd better..."
"Ran...Miyu...what..what if ZECt joined forces with Neo-ZECT...this may may sound outrageous..."
"No...that's a possible theory...until we figure that out...we'd better get everyone out of here...put on your CHANGE KELBEROS cards into your buckles...we're going to have a brawl...Super GAL-style..."
Seeing this and sensing that something is not right after Aya's suspicions about ZECT's actions, Class G initiated their transformations into Glaive, Larc and Lance and fought the ZECT Troopers, with Larc leading the Kotobuki family, Riku and Yamaki out of the house as Lance and Glaive keeps the troopers busy, and by then SWAT troopers arrived to give ZECT Troopers the option to stop, but the troopers opened fire and a firefight ensued, but then Class G uses the opportunity to slip away unnoticed until they are at a safe distance and heads out to DDS.
To Be Continued…

A double turn indeed, and ZECT slowly shows their true face…though it's unclear if they're still going to fight Neo-ZECT by themselves…
...or...
Preview:
The FINAL arc commences at the next chapter, and it's going to be a multiple chapter conclusion as DDS drives their forces and leads an attack at Neo-ZECT base while others head out for the space station to shut it down…it's going to be a showdown where the strong will emerge as the winner.
Yup…the ending is just upon us…can't say how many chapters it would comprise…but it might reach as long as...10 chapters…but I promise the ending will be action-paced just like the last Parasite Eve fic…
