Parasite Eve II
With Ketaros and Hercs dealt with, this leaves Caucasus and once he's taken care of, this leaves Mashima and Negishi to deal with, and surely the Class R leader, the fashion designer and the two Seigaku members can easily dispatch the two, right? But Caucasus has something ins store for our heroes and he may be a force to be reckoned with.
Read on below…

Somewhere within the space station, Hercus and TheBee both back and forth in one area and neither one backing away, both are evenly matched and appeared that the two might reached a draw as both are getting exhausted, and Hercus seemingly pleaded for mercy but TheBee didn't buy it and is getting ready to activate the Rider Sting.
"No…please…spare me…!"
"Did you show mercy to everyone back at Earth? You intend to turn everyone into ANMC yet you plead for your OWN life? Sorry…but I won't let you do what you want…so ask forgiveness for the victims you killed, you murderer!"
However, Hercus uses underhanded tactics and managed to overpower TheBee, and is ready to kill him, but then ZECT Troopers arrived and aimed their guns at him. But then TheBee grabbed one of the troopers and threw him at Hercus ad the others, causing one of the troopers to accidentally fire his gun and hit the nearby window, causing a vacuum which sucks the troopers out of the space station, and they are instantly killed as their suits are not designed to protect them from the effects of outer space.
"Blast! I won't die here! I'm going to rule Earth and make those foolish people serve Neo-ZECT!"
"Not in your life, you foolish megalomaniac!"
Hercus held on in order not to be sucked outside, but then TheBee saw an incoming meteorite approaching and feared that it may be the one Mishima is waiting and decided to take matters in his own hands and activated the Rider Sting and punches Hercus, sending him out of the space station.
"NOOO! IT CAN'T END LIKE THIS! I WAS MEANT TO RULE EARTH!"
"Tell that to the victims who died in your underhanded tactics, Oda…your foolish pride and thinking are what caused your instant death…"
With this, Hercus was sent propelling towards the approaching Meteorite, crashing against it, and in the process shattered the Hercules Beetle Zecter, reverting Oda to normal form and he instantly dies from the effects of being in outer space. The impact then sends the meteor to head to another direction and avoided Earth, taking the lifeless corpse of Hidenari Oda with him.

65: Countdown part 5
Seeing what just happened to Oda, Drake and Hyper Gatack went towards TheBee and the trio began to make their way towards the engine room and saw the repair crew still trying to repair the engines to get the space station moving, and there Hyper Gatack told Drake to further disable the engines, which Drake knew that this would mean killing the repair crew but realized that they too serve Neo-ZECT ad had to prevent them from attempting to reactivate the space station's engines so he is forced to fire the Rider Shooting, but TheBee stops him at the last minute as he finds a nearby computer and scans the coordinates.
"Wait…let me assess the situation before you make a decision…"
"Okay…"
"Better hurry up…we're running out of time…"
There TheBee discovers that a second meteorite is heading towards Earth within ten minutes and told Drake to keep an eye on Mishima, Negishi and the repair crew, instructing them that the moment the space station is moving again, one of them has to keep the bad guys back while the other programs the station to collide with the coming meteorite, which Hyper Gatack and Drake agreed to as TheBee goes to look for Sasword.
"Got it…"
"Yeah… as long as those assholes are taken cared of…"
-x-
Meanwhile, somewhere within the space station, Caucasus and Sasword fought back and fought and are evenly matched as both couldn't gain an advantage or upper hand. Sasword began using the Rider slash and applied some tennis techniques such as the Cool Drive and Drive Shoot, but Caucasus counters it with his Kunai Gun in "Axe Form" which is charged by the Rider Beat, deflecting the Rider slash's energy waves, and starts to make a comeback.
"Foolish boy…you think you can blend tennis with fighting? A weed like you can never beat the beauty of a rose…"
"Then I'll spray you with pesticide…!"
TheBee arrives and saw Caucasus sending Sasword reeling back and observes to see if Ryoma could fight back, and saw the Prince of Tennis activating the Clock Up and attempts to finish off Caucasus, but Caucasus also activated the Clock Up and counters it with the Rider Beat, disarming and knocking down Ryoma, who is badly beaten up and needs first aid treatment.
"See…? Not even a tennis prodigy like you could beat me…now say goodbye to your beloved tennis team…I will send you head wrapped neatly on a picnic basket…"
As the Clock Up mechanism expires, Caucasus is ready to finish off the weakened Ryoma when TheBee toggles his Zecter to assume Masked Form, then Rider Form, sending his armored debris at Caucasus and disorients him, allowing TheBee to activate his Clock Up to take Ryoma out of the space station and heads back to the Shelter via the computers using the digital portal.
"What a fool Tezuka is…he had the chance to finish me off and yet he chose to save his tennis teammate…now the trump card is within me there is no stopping Neo-ZECT from ruling Eartjh…!"
Thinking that they retreated, Caucasus did not bother going after the two Seigaku players and instead went to check on Mashima and Negishi, seeing if the space station is moving again or not.
-x-
Meanwhile, the repair crew managed to get the space station to move again and Drake fires away to keep the others back as Hyper Gatack began to program the space station's coordinates, and then sends it towards the incoming meteorite within ten minutes, and is ready to join Drake when Caucasus arrives and fought Hyper Gatack, while Drake accidentally killed the repair crew while Negishi, Mishima and Nogi fled back to Neo-ZECT HQ using the Digital portal on the computers, which Mashima boasts that they to have the knowledge of creating their own portal.
"What the…?"
"You think you're the only ones who know how to make a digital gate to travel to places? We too have acquired that knowledge after Yamaki showed us!"
Drake then goes after the trio while Caucasus and Hyper Gatack fought both each other, knowing that the station is heading for the approaching Meteorite in less than eight minutes.
"Don't think that your acquired Hyper Zecter would save you…you are inferior to your brother…as you do not have the power of Mitochondria…"
"There is only one Y-Chromosomal Adam here…and he's the one who'll beat your assholes and stop your fucking plans!"
"We'll see about that…!"
As the two fought in sheer intensity, Caucasus managed to get an upper hand as he uses the Rider Beat to charge his Kunai gun in "Axe Form" and struck his opponent, which Gatack reverts back to his Rider Form and there he tries to finish him off but Gatack held onto Caucasus and both accidentally entered the Digital portal and heads back to Neo-ZECT HQ.
-x-
Both arrived at Neo-ZECT HQ, where several ZECT and Neo-ZECT Troopers are waiting and lynched onto Gatack as Caucasus and Negishi fled back towards the space station to alter the space station's programming so it won't collide with the meteorite.
"Get off me, you trash-troopers! I don't have time to play with you!"
"Just hold onto him until Negishi succeeds!"
"Yes…we will rule the world!"
"For Neo-ZECT!"
Gatack fought his way out but there were too many troopers holding him down so he managed to re-activate the Hyper Zecter and assumes Hyper Form once more and fought his way out and heads back to the space station.

At Earth's atmosphere, the rocket breaks up and the cocoon-like pod now heads up towards outer space, and is now making its existence known to Kabuto and Dark kabuto, after completely absorbing Golem # 9, the cocoon began to absorb Eve into itself while both versions of Kabuto tries to pull Eve out, but then the pod opens to throw out the two.
"Darn…K'…we don't have much time…I have a plan and I'll be needing your help!"
"Why would I…fine…just tell me your instructions…"
Kabuto activates the Hyper Zecter and assumes Hyper Form, and after seeing the space station, he grabs Dark Kabuto and instructed him to head for the space station as he threw Dark Kabuto out towards the space station, and there Dark Kabuto is thrown out, while activating the Clock Up and then toggles with the Kunai Gun, assuming "Gun Mode" and fires at the opposite direction, propelling him towards the space station.
"You'd better stay alive, Kyuu Renjou…we have a score to settle…"
Hyper Kabuto then tries to get Eve out but then Eve is already being absorbed and the cocoon began to manifest itself, taking the form of a huge, humanoid form while in cocoon form and began to use its tentacles, knocking the two Zecters off Kabuto's belt and Kyuu is de-armored. The cocoon now resembles a giant, humanoid butterfly in half-human, half pupa stage-like butterfly form as it attempt to absorb Kyuu inside it, but Kyuu's Mitochondria cells began to rebel against the cells of the cocoon, and he assumes Orphenoch form to fight off the cocoon-like ANMC.
"You won't absorb me…and I'm going to save my sister…I won't let you and Neo-ZECT do whatever you wish to do to Earth…! I'll protect them with my life! I'll stop you even if it means sacrificing my life to save them from the likes of you!"
As he is halfway inside the cocoon's body after being absorbed, the Angel Orphenoch sees Eve still in one piece and saw the cocoon's "heart", and realized that Eve would be consumed if the absorption continues he uses his "tentacles" to pierce the heart, and there it worked, as the heart "crumbles", Kyuu assumes "Parasite Form" and ignited the inside of the cocoon-like ANMC with his pyrokinetic powers, causing the mutated pupa to convulse in pain, ready to eject its "prey".
Kyuu took the Beetle Zecter and activated it, assuming Kabuto's Masked Form, then toggles it to assume Rider Form, sending the armored debris around the cocoon and this further injures the pupa-like ANMC, and there Kabuto activated the Hyper Zecter, assuming Hyper form, then activated the Hyper Clock Up and then executed the Hyper Rider Kick, propelling himself and the still-unconscious Eve towards the space station, plowing their way out of the cocoon-like ANMC, destroying it in the process while making their way inside the space station's entrance and got inside safely, though he noticed something within himself as he felt that he could no longer sense Eve's "Parasite aura".
"We're saved, Eve…but…what's happening…I don't feel my power…as if…my Parasite energy is gone…could it be that…my power is burned up after rebelling against the cocoon-like ANMC…?"
-x-
As the two got in, he saw Negishi trying to alter the space station's course, but Hyper Gatack arrived and disables the controls of the space station so that it won't change course and is surprised to see Eve with Hyper Kabuto, there he told his twin brother that in less than three minutes the space station will collide with an oncoming meteorite and explode, while Hyper Kabuto tells Negishi that with the cocoon destroyed, ZECT and Neo-ZECT's plans are doomed, but then Negishi laughed stating that he will start again from scratch and slowly reveals himself as an ANMC, and stated that he will take Eve back and use her to start their plans all over again.
"You've got to be kidding me…"
"You won't lay a finger on our sister…we will defeat you…!"
To Be Continued…
Eve saved… the cocoon destroyed…but Negishi still doesn't give up, as he revealed that he is an advanced version of the ANMC…but then the Renjou brothers will stop him. There is one problem though…Kyuu appeared to have lost his "Parasite powers"…so now he'll have to rely on his Zecters…
Preview:
The battle rages on as the fight spills back to Earth while the space station gets destroyed…while a life is sacrificed to save Kyuu…
