So fasten your seatbelts as we are now heading towards the conclusion in this multi-chaptered finale! And expect some drama-like scenes to prevail here as Kyuu struggles save his "sibling "from being used as a weapon…!
And here we go…!
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 are 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. Seeing this and sensing that something is not right, Class G initiated their transformations to 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.
61: Countdown part 1
At the streets of Shibuya, a SWAT van arrived and gives Class G, Yamaki the Kotobuki's a ride which Glaive told the driver to take them to DDS, as they could hear gunshots getting louder and that civilians are running in utter panic, realizing that they got a new enemy to watch out for, and never did they expect that ZECT would turn against them,
"Darn…Yamaki…what's happening here…?"
"I…I don't know…"
The SWAT van continues to cruise as the gunfight ensues as more SWAT vans arrived to quell off the ZECT Troopers as they continued to fight the police. But then the ZECT Troopers got orders to retreat and they did so and covered their escape using smoke screen.
About an hour later, Class P arrived at the outskirts of the Shelter and opened the laptop they've brought, and there they sent an e-mail to Class C, who is still at DDS. Hikari then opened the Digital Gate so Kyuu, Kyo and Tailmon can enter there, and within a few minutes they emerged from the laptop and are now outside the Shelter.
"Looks like we're all systems go…"
"But remember the plan…we rescue Eve and stop Neo-ZECT from unleashing more Artificial NMCs…and to do that…we'll be needing reinforcements…"
"Hikari says that the others will join us shortly…"
Now all they have to do now is wait for the signal as Class C intends to wait for the others to arrive at DDS so they too can join the fight, but then something went a little wrong. Which the Renjou brothers and Tailmon didn't anticipate about…
Outside DDS, a dozen vans parked itself outside the school gates and out came several duplicates of the F-4 (about 40 of them in all) and slowly revealed themselves as Stranger, Stalker, Suckler, Scavengers, Chasers, and Diver-type Artificial NMC's. The guard on duty managed to alert DDS of this but was eventually consumed, even after he closed the gates.
"AAARRRGGGHHHH!"
"Darn…first NMCs…and now this…got to set off the alarm…!"
The other guard called for the SWAT while another opened fire to keep the mutates at bay and a third one set off the silent alarm, which alerted the campus of the attack. Within a minute, all students and staff members are all heading for the main building as the ANMCs managed to break through the wall and started to make their way inside the campus as another DDS school staff started to have the other students go inside the main building to keep them safe. Domyouji and Nishikado of Class F confronted them and initiated their transformations to Blade and Garren to hold the ANMCs off.
"Great…just as we're about to stake out Neo-ZECT…now I can't pick up girls after this…!"
"Just keep your mind on defending the school, Sojiro…!"
"You're such a killjoy…"
As the ANMCs approached the two, the two Class F members brought out their cards to swipes them on their weapons that have card readers.
Blade Rouser: "TIME…"
Swiping the Spade 10 card: TIME SCARAB, Blade caused the ANMCs in front of them to stop moving, freezing them in time, and there Garren swipes the Spade 2, 4, and 6 cards (BULLET ARMADILLO, RAPID PECKER and FIRE FLY respectively).
Gun Rouser: "BULLET…RAPID…FIRE…"
His cards levitated around him before being absorbed into his armor, Garren fired concentrated, but powerful blast of gunshots from his Gun Rouser and this caused the time-frozen ANMCs to be blasted away until nothing was left, and while the two Class F members heave a sight of relief, more of the ANMCs of the same types emerged from the broken wall and are in greater number, taking the two F-4 members by surprise.
"Looks like we haven't gotten a fight for a long time…"
"Yeah…better than beating up punks in school…"
And so Blade and Garren took out their cards and are ready to swipe them into their weapons, looking forward to take their fight to the next level. Inside the main building, Dan watched as he suspected that Neo-ZECT did this to keep his students from interfering and knew that this would give them time to complete their schemes but nevertheless the founder of DDS has full faith in his students.
Back at the entrance of the Shelter, Class P told the Renjou brothers that they'll have to send them inside the Neo-ZECT base via the computer, which Ken Ichijouji believes that he could do that, so the brothers went back inside the laptop to enter the Digital Gate and Ichijouji sent them inside the Shelter's computer room, where Kyuu and Kyo emerged and disabled the scientists before they could alarm the Neo-ZECT Troopers.
"That takes care of those scientific shit-heads…right now we'd better armored up and start the search so we can disable this hell-house of horror…"
"Right on…we won't give up…if a detective gives up…"
"Will you knock it off?"
"E-he-he-he…"
There Kyuu and Kyo initiated their transformations to Kabuto and Gatack and began to storm the other areas to stall the enemy until the other DDS students could arrive here and at the space station. However, a CCTV saw them and someone activated the lever, releasing the holding cells of the ANMCs within the area, called the "Neo-Ark".
Having learned of this, Hyper Blossom told Ichijouji to open the Digital Gate so she can send Rolling Bubbles and Powered Buttercup inside the base while she stands by outside, and as Ichijouji did so, the two Class P members are inside the Neo-ZECT base and began taking down the approaching Neo-ZECT Troopers while Kabuto and Gatack fought others within the base. There they decided to split up once they've reached the middle portion of the Shelter. As they moved lower, they encountered more Neo-ZECT Troopers, and fought them in a gauntlet as they plowed their way through.
"Just great…more welcoming…"
"Never mind it…just plow your way through until one of us gets ahead…"
"You sound cool and calm…"
"As what a detective does…"
"Hmph…"
Elsewhere within the Shelter, using her huge mallet, Powered Buttercup slammed the ceiling which caused it to fall and pinned the Neo-ZECT Troopers down and this bought them some time as they went for the computer to find the button so that the front gate of the Shelter would open and this would give DDS students, who are slated to arrive later on, the opportunity to get inside. Hyper Blossom would have to wait until then, as she wondered how DDS itself would hold out against the ANMC's.
"You think DDs can hold out against those ANMCs?"
"I'm sure they will…that's why we should have faith in them…as they have faith in us…"
"Yeah…"
Inside the lower area of the Shelter, Kabuto and Gatack managed to take down their opponents and continued to trek down lower as they are heading for the area where "Eve" is being placed, and Gatack guessed that if "Eve" is knocked out at least, her hold on the ANMCs would be severed, however, as they arrived at the area, they found a dying Daigo Tachikawa being mauled by Golem-type ANMCs and the Renjou brothers fired their weapons to send them back, but as others are still mauling Daigo, they assumed Rider Forms and fought them.
"Nii-san…go check on him…leave those critters to me…!"
"Daigo…Daigo…hold on!"
As Kabuto tends to Daigo, Gatack uses the Double Calibur to slice most of the Golems away, but one more remained and thus he began to use a unique finisher call "Rider Cutting", forming a huge, shears-like weapon and cuts the remaining Golem apart. He stood still while looking around to see if there are any more Golem-type ANMCs around and seeing that the coast is clear, he returbed his weapons on its scabbard and checks on Daigo, seeing that the wounds inflicted on him were fatal, and both brothers deduced that he won't make it to the hospital even if they used the Digital Gate.
"Daigo…you've got to hold on…!"
"Nii-san…there's nothing you can do…"
"T-there is something…you t-two can d-do…stop ZECT and Neo-ZECT…"
"What…?"
"ZECT and Neo-ZECT? Are you saying that those two faction joined forces…? You've got to be kidding me…better not be a mental delusion…that's something I find it farfetched…let alone an organization ripping off the original version…"
"I-it's true…ZECT has joined…forces with…Neo-ZECT…and…they're planning…to use her to turn…Earth into…a breeding…ground of ANMCs…"
"What?"
"Don't fuck with us! Why would ZECT do something like that?"
A dying Daigo then told the Renjou brothers that ZECT has formed an alliance with Neo-ZECT and both planned to use Eve as a catalyst as both groups intend to turn everyone in Japan, and the rest of the world, into NMCs on a planetary scale, with Eve controlling them. He urged the two to inform the Japanese Diet of this as he expired due to his injuries. Placing a white cloth to cover Daigo's corpse, the Renjou brothers left and continue their search for Eve.
"I can't believe this…Yamaki's going to throw a fit if he hears about this…"
"Probably…if my hunch is right…and based on what Daigo said just now…ZECT should be showing their true colors by now…I hope DDS is aware of this…I'll try to send a message and have it sent to Dan-sensei…"
As Gatack sent an e-mail message to DDS, he and Kabuto continued their trek and encounter some small fries along the way and yet they took them down in a not-so difficult way.
At the streets of Tokyo, more police from Shibuya scrambled as Taizo Kotobuki made an emergency call informing them of ZECT's treachery and soon some police from Tokyo came and protects the Kotobuki family as they hold off the pursuing ZECT Troopers while Ran commandeers a van and heads for DDS, where she plowed her way through the amassing ANMC's just as Blade and Garren initiated Jack Forms.
"It's about time you GALS came…we're getting a bit of a warm up here…"
"Then prepare for an exercise…because I got news for you…ZECT's our enemy now…the ZECT Troopers tried to arrest Yamaki and my uncle and they tried to shoot us down…"
"You've got to be kidding me…!"
"We'll worry about that later…let's deal with these uglies first…!"
As Yamaki and Riku heads inside the main building of DDS, Class G joins the two Class F members to fight off the mutates while the Japanese Armed Forces sent some of its troopers to aid DDS. Despite getting additional help from Class G, the ANMCs are still advancing their way, and the five DDS students uses their finishers and dealt about 90% of the enemy. Garren told Blade to assume King Form and Blade did so, assuming his King Form and is getting ready to deal with the remaining enemy.
At the conference room of the DDS main building, Yamaki and Riku arrived and learned that Dan is aware of ZECT's treachery after receiving an SOS e-mail from Gatack, and then Riku used Takeru's laptop to scan the area of ZECT HQ, and an enraged Yamaki uses it to transport himself to ZECT HQ to confront the Council as well as to get an explanation from them.
As he arrived, he demanded to the Council why are they doing this, and the Council revealed that they can no longer abide by their "foolish" and "naive" principles and claimed that they will run Japan and the world their way, and even revealed that they were approached by Neo-ZECT and offered 50-50 sharing, and thus a new alliance is formed.
"You…you can't be serious…!"
"Whatever you prefer…we made our choice. Now stand down or be eliminated!"
"You wish!"
At the Shelter, Kabuto and Gatack arrived to the laboratory room where Eve is kept, but they soon learn that she is no longer there and are about to search elsewhere when K' shows up and demanded a rematch from Kabuto, initiating his transformation to Dark Kabuto, from Masked Form to Rider Form. Kabuto told Gatack to go ahead as he accepted the challenge, much to Gatack's exasperation.
"You got to be kidding me…!"
"I'll be fine…I'll catch up…"
As Gatack left, Kabuto and Dark Kabuto are facing off and are about to engage in combat as Dark Kabuto asked his opponent a question.
"You have what it takes to solve this problem…?"
"I do…"
"Face me first if you seek to continue this…"
Gatack left as Kabuto and Dark kabuto had a stare-off as he continued his search for Eve, encountering some Neo-ZECT Troopers along the way and disabled them using Clock Up, and continued towards the passageway of the Shelter's lower levels, where he encountered more loose ANMCs which slowed down his progress in searching for Eve.
"Out of my way you mutant motherfuckers!"
He brought out his shotel blades and made quick work on the ANMCs and proceeded down further, only to encounter more ANMCs along the way, infuriating the younger Renjou more.
Back at the upper level, Kabuto asks his clone if he would like to hold off their battle temporarily so they could work together to save Japan, but Dark Kabuto declined and went for the first attack which Kabuto managed to deflect it and there the fight started intently, as both activated their Clock Up mechanisms and started to trade punches and kicks while moving in the speed of light, which lasted for a minute.
At ZECT, HQ, Yamaki arrived via the base's computer monitor and there he confronted the Council about why they sent the ZECT Troopers to subdue him and Riku, and when told that they are fed up with the Japanese Diet, they said they will run the country from here on, eliminating the diet and have the people serve them.
"That is what we should have started in the beginning…not wasting our time helping a teenage brat doing detective work…!"
"You are more than a fool…!"
When Yamaki threatened to expose them for this coup and reminding them that Neo-ZECT is the real threat, he was shocked to see that Mishima showing up, and one of the Council member removed his hood, revealing his name as "Negishi", and revealed himself as a ANMC like Rena Mamiya, as well hiding within ZECT who worked with Mishima in getting ZECT and Neo-ZECT to put aside their differences and joined forces.
"No…!"
"Yes…and this time we will rid of trashes like you…and we will rule this country and then the rest of the world…!"
Then another Council member removed his hood, revealing his name as Nogi and told Yamaki that he and Riku are officially removed as ZECT members and ordered him to have DDS surrender themselves, which Yamaki shook his head in defiance, becoming determined to stop ZECT's madness.
By then Class G arrived via the Digital portal and stood by Yamaki, but then ZECT Troopers came and surrounded the four as Mishima, Negi and Nogi opened a laptop and revealed that they too created their own portal and left, which Yamaki saw them heading towards the space station dubbed "Jacob's Ladder", while one of the ZECT Troopers pressed a button, which as voice spoke and said that the missiles will be fired at 5 minutes, which Class G soon learned that the missiles are aimed towards the Shelter.
"They're going to bomb the Shelter…!"
"Kyuu and the others are there!"
To Be Continued…
A double turn gone worse, as ZECT slowly shows their true face…and intends to rule Japan alongside Neo-ZECT…so now it's up to the DDS students to stop their mad plans of conquest…

The FINAL arc continues as our heroes struggle to stop ZECT and Neo-ZECT from achieving their goals…while Kyuu and K' continue their fight…which may come to a indecisive conclusion…
