Parasite Eve II: Armageddon
And now…the FINAL chapter…after about a year of uploading this fic…we have reached the end of the trail. Here our DSQ heroes are shown what they are doing after the fall of ZECT and Neo-ZECT, and what has become of Kyuu and Eve…and what future lies ahead of them…
-x-
As Hyper Kabuto is standing there holding the Perfect Zecter and is ready to slash him but instead he held it high and appeared to do something no one would ever expect to see something.
"Time to call for the Zecters…and this is the first…and the last time you get to see this kind of attack…"
Pressing four buttons, the Perfect Zecter's mechanisms appeared to produce a signal which three of the four Zecters are summoned by remote control and each docked on four docking areas within the weapon. The Wasp, Dragonfly and Scorpion Zecters, and finally, the Beetle Zecter, are now docked onto the Perfect Zecter. Because the Hyper Zecter is docked onto Hyper Kabuto's Zecter Belt, Kyuu wasn't de-armored and remained in Hyper Form and then he presses four buttons again.
Perfect Zecter: "KABUTO POWER…THEBEE POWER…DRAKE POWER…SASWORD POWER…"
As Nogi gets up, he appeared to have recovered sufficiently, but then Hyper Kabuto uses the Perfect Zecter to take down Nogi, using each of the Zecters' ultimate attacks, and after four consecutive strikes, Nogi's body was unable to cope with such powerful strikes and is unable to recover, though he is still standing.
"I won't…go down…that…easily…you DDS brat…!"
"Then say goodbye, you megalomaniac…"
Hyper Kabuto then presses the four buttons again and this time, aside from the four Zecters being called, a 5th voice spoke which tells Nogi that the Perfect Zecter's ultimate attack is about to be unleashed.
Perfect Zecter: "KABUTO POWER…THEBEE POWER…DRAKE POWER…SASWORD POWER…"
"What the…?"
Perfect Zecter: "ALL ZECTERS COMBINED…"
As a last resort, Hyper Kabuto presses another button, and this one harnesses all of the four Zecters, and executed the "Maximum Hyper Cyclone", and this time that attack became the deciding factor. Nogi slowly fell down and exploded into nothingness. Mishima was angered by this and is about to attack when he saw Sakura using her Clow Cards to finally eradicate the ANMCs. This causes Mishima to get distracted as his army is completely wiped out.
"NO! NOT MY ARMY!"
Hyper Gatack grabbed Mishima by his arms and told him that it is over and that he should just simply surrender, but unwilling to yield, Mishima grabbed Hyper Gatack by his arms and lifted him, throwing him at Hyper Kabuto and the two collided, dropping the Perfect Zecter in the process, and Mishima decided to grab the weapon and use it to kill his opponents in one strike.
"Now I'll use this to kill you DDS Brats in one blow!"
However, Yamaki grabbed the Perfect Zecter and was able to keep it away from Mishima and shouts at the Renjou brothers to put him away for good, and Hyper Kabuto and Hyper Gatack, who recovered, toggled with their Zecters and executed their Hyper Rider Kicks, and both moves hit their target and Mishima exploded until nothing is left. The battle has ended and the remaining DDS sections roared in victory, as the threat of ZECT and Neo-ZECT has ended and Japan, as well as Earth, is saved.
"WE LIVE!"
"JAPAN' IS SAVED!"
"LONG LIVE DDS!"
"WAY TO GO, KYUU!"
The DDS section members rushed and hugged Kyuu for dealing the decisive blow against the villains and all celebrated for their hard-earned win and saving their country from total genocide, while Kyo is being hugged by Yukihira and both are in romantic bliss, though Ryu was silent as he looked up at the sky, mentally speaking to someone. A sad smile formed at the blue-haired Class Q member's lips as tears slowly fell down from his eyes.
"We won, Shizuko…the bad guys who claimed your life…they've been dealt with…I hope you can rest in peace now…I wish you were here with me…thank you for being a part of my life…"
Meanwhile Class P and Ken Kitazawa glanced at the sleeping Eve, and they wondered what will become of her after this, but Ken decided to let Kyuu decide what to do with her since she is a product of the Renjou family's mixed DNA samples. He also wondered what to do with her as he still believe she still retains her Mitochondria powers and might pose a problem and this would give the Japanese Diet and the army something to worry about.
"What should we do with her?"
"Have her join us…she would make a good Powerpuff Girl Z member…"
"Cool! And we can teach her some fashion sense…"
"Girls…I think we should let Kyuu decided with her…but first see if her Mitochondria powers are latent..we don't want to start another Parasite Eve…"
"Aww…"

Epilogue # 1
As the weeks followed, Japan is slowly picking up the pieces and the Japanese Diet held an emergency meeting on how to address the situation as to not cause a stir and to protect DDS' privacy as some of them are aware that Kyuu led the fight to save their country from ZECT and Neo-ZECT and came to an agreement that they will announce that an explosion took place at ZECT base within Shizuoka Island and was destroyed along with Neo-ZECT.
Before this took place, Riku Kotobuki and Yamaki secretly met with the Japanese Emperor and the Minister of Justice about what happened and discussed about how Neo-ZECT was able to gather the funds to create their own Zecters and why ZECT turned against the Diet. Suspecting something, they all agreed to conduct a secret investigation on this matter while the clean-up is being done.
"I see…very well…we will look into this matter…"
"Thank you, your Majesty…but I think you should do this in a surprise way…"
"Alright then…"
As another week followed, DDS and the Emperor's cabinet, along with the Japanese counterpart of the FBI (Federal Bureau of Investigation), made a hard-earned investigation and their hard work paid off as they discovered that there are some government officials are secretly conspiring with Neo-ZECT and are instrumental in persuading ZECT into joining forces which led the two organizations to form a secret partnership and that they secretly funded the creation of the space station. The conspirators are exposed and arrested, which eventually expelled them from the Diet and face hard time.
"Wah! I don't know what you're saying!"
"Do you know who we are? We are senators! You're just a lowly investigators…"
"Tell that to the Emperor and the Minister of Justice, you scumbag…"
-x-
After to the fall of Nogi and Mishima, Kyuu took the unconscious Eve to Yamaki and asked him to give her a thorough check-up to see if she suffered anything within her body which he agreed to but when he asked how Kyuu is doing, the Class Q leader told him that he feels fine but then he is unable to sense any Mitochondria aura and that he is unable to change to his Parasite and Orphenoch forms.
"What? You felt you lost your powers after emerging from that pod while in outer space?"
"Yeah…that pod tried to absorb me but my cells rebelled and that gave me the opportunity to destroy it with my Orphenoch powers and then using the Zecter before me and Eve head for the space station…"
Sensing something, he invited Kyuu to head for the secret laboratory within Shibuya for a thorough check-up while he tries to contact Kunihiko Maeda to see what has happened to the DDS student's body after being told of fighting inside the parasitic pod when it launched and went to outer space. Ken Kitazawa of Class P offered to facilitate the check-up and the Class Q leader accepted, and they are now waiting for Maeda to arrive.
-x-
Another few weeks have passed, and the Renjou brothers have turned 16, and by then Maeda, along with Kitazawa, performed some blood test and took his samples, and had Kyuu undergo some more random tests, which, to their surprises, shows that Kyuu did not display either of his Parasite powers or Orphenoch abilities. Kyuu himself is wondering what has happened to him.
Eve also underwent a series of tests and the results are the same as Kyuu, but what also surprised them is that she is unable to recall her time at Neo-ZECT, and they agreed not to make her recall those moments as they chose to have her live a normal life. After another week, the results came it shows that Kyuu has lost BOTH his powers and is now 100% normal, as his Mitochondria and Orphenoch DNA were mysteriously absorbed into the parasitic pod and Maeda assures to Kyuu that he can no longer affect his love partner with any risks.
"Really? I'm a hundred percent human again? I'm back to normal?"
"Yes, Kyuu…you are now free from the curse of Mitochondria…you can start making a family without any risks involved…"
"YIPPEE! I'M NORMAL AGAIN! I'M NORMAL AGAIN! I CAN MAKE LOVE TO MEGU AGAIN! YAHOO!"
-x-
About two months have passed and life returned to normal and the people of Japan are unaware of the ZECT-Neo ZECT assaults as the Diet covered it up with a terrorist plot so that they won't suspect a thing. Only a few government officials are aware of this and they still keep an eye for Kyuu even though he lost his powers.
"EXTRA! EXTRA! READ ALL ABOUT IT! TERRORISTS STOPPED FROM CARYING A TERRORIST ACT WITHIN JAPAN! EXTRA! EXTRA! READ ALL ABOUT IT! TERRORISTS STOPPED FROM CARYING A TERRORIST ACT WITHIN JAPAN!"
At Kyuu's request, Yamaki asked Riku for some assistance and he did "pulled some loose strings" within his department, as well as processing some paper works so that Eve can blend in with society and made it appeared that she is the youngest "sibling" of the Renjou family…NO QUESTIONS ASKED. And while the Renjou family is pondering what they would name her, Kyuu glanced at Eve, seeing that her hair is light blue, like a sea of water, and came up with a name which Ryu, Kyo and Mrs. Renjou approved of. They agreed to name her Kula.
"Kula?"
"That's right, Kyo…calling her Eve doesn't sound right…not to mention that it might cause paranoid fear among the people after Mitochondria Eve made herself public last year…besides…she's a normal girl now and deserves a normal name…"
"Your elder twin brother is right, Kyo…but Kyuu…why come up with the name Kula…?"
"You see, mom…if you look at her hair…its colored blue…just like Ryu…"
"You named her just because of my hair color?"
"Well…her hair color is like that of a flow of water…like ice…and I find it…cool. So I came up the that name…Kula."
"Hmm…okay, son…Kula will do…"
-x-
At the former Hypnos HQ, a week later, Kyuu, Kyo, Ryoma, Fujima and Koizumi are summoned by Yamaki and Riku, and they are discussing on what to do with the Zecters. While Riku told the five that he and Yamaki have first rights over the Zecters, Yamaki candidly informed them that they can keep the Zecters as long as they don't use it irresponsibly and for personal gains.
"Really? We can keep the Zecters?"
"Yes, Kyo…as long as you don't use them for committing crimes…"
"You know me and Kyo…we don't do bad stuffs…"
"Good to hear that from you, Kyuu…"
Surprisingly, Tezuka, Ryoma and Koizumi voluntarily surrendered their Zecters as they stated that they have no more use. They felt that no more threat is coming and so they chose to return to normal life. The two tennis players returned to Seigaku High to resume their schooling and tennis while Koizumi resumed his career in fashion designing and re-commences in rebuilding "Para-Kiss".
"What about you two…?"
"We keep the Zecters…who knows…you might need our help again…"
Smiling while adjusting his shades, Yamaki gave the Renjou brothers his blessings and they shook hands before parting. Later he summoned his assistants from Hypnos and told them his plans while Riku Kotobuki came and the two came to an agreement on what their next task would be after all that has happened.
"So, Yamaki…is this what you intend to do from now on?"
"Yes, Riku…we are going to disband ZECT…and also includes ridding all the files we have…we don't want THIS to happen again…Kyuu has suffered enough…and Eve has also suffered enough as well…and we don't want another Mitochondria Eve to be spawned once more…"
"Ha-ha…just as I expected from you…here is the pass code from my files…delete them completely…I'm retiring…I'm going to be a police commissioner of Shibuya…it'll be more fun that training ZECT Troopers…at least humans are more willing to be disciplined that turning them into puppets…"
And so Yamaki began the process of disbanding ZECT as well as eliminating all files on ZECT, its weapons and blueprints and other important files. Yamaki then decided to form a private investigation office that is similar to Hypnos and with Riku's involvement they can share information rapport with the Shibuya Police and solve crimes and other cases.
Meanwhile, Kula was finally brought to the Renjou house and is welcomed by the Renjou family, acting as the "youngest sibling". Ryu mentally noted that Kula appeared to have no memories of her time at Neo-ZECT and seemingly did not show any side effects as Ken Kitazawa and Kunihiko Maeda assured to Kyuu that she no longer possesses any Mitochondria powers as he theorized that her case is the same as Kyuu's as the pod seemingly absorbed her powers.
"Welcome to the family, Kula…"
"This is your home now…"
"My…home…?"
"Yup! You're our little sister now…"
As Mrs. Renjou shows Kula her room, Ryu went to Kyuu and asked him some questions which seem to bother him a little.
"Kyuu…something doesn't add up…she was created sometime after last year…so how can we discern her age…?"
"Maeda said her body's been accelerated…and it shows that her body is that of a 14-year old girl…"
"But…what if her memories about her time at Neo-ZECT return…"
"Then we will tell her piece by piece…I know she isn't the kind who would turn malevolent like the cells that overtook Melissa Pierce's body…"
"I guess…"
Later Mrs. Renjou made dinner where everyone is assembled – Class Q, R, F and other DDS sections as they welcomed Kula to the "world", and Kula shows that she is a bit shy but cheerful girl and shows some interest in science. Thanks to the F-4, they shouldered the costs of having her do home studies so that she can catch up academically and within a few months she has passed elementary requirements and now she is ready to attend junior high school.
End of Epilogue # 1
Okay…this officially ends the Parasite Eve story…and what a blast…after two years, it has finally come to an end…and sadly, this will be my LAST DSQ canon. This is the end of the line, folks…and I would like to thank you all for the support you gave to this fic…
Also…the name "Kula" is inspired from a character of the same name, and she is from the King Of Fighters series…
Preview:
Okay…so why another epilogue…well, I thought I should give you readers a taste of what Kula would do as she joins society…and to show how she is coping at living normally…like living as a normal girl...and what would happen if she decides to join DDS…?
Well…three Renjou siblings as detective students doesn't sound bad, right?
