Seeds Of Agito

The Kamikushi Village arc ends here...in a surprising turn of events that would bring tension within the village, and this would involve two Class Q members who are able to solve this complex situation.

G3 settles the score with the Kangaroo Lord while Agito found what she is searching for, though she won't be in a good mood for a while…as she also meet up with the Lord who was responsible for the massacre four years ago…

Back at Kamikushi Village, Class Q searched everywhere to find Rio Azegawa and found her buried at the cemetery, hacked to death with a small scythe. Tension gripped those who found the corpse as everyone is being questioned. Although the others are unmindful, intending to find the "hidden treasure" no matter what.

A police came and is investigating it when Class Q told them their deductions, which irked the investigator, threatening to arrest them for obstruction and interference, but took back his words upon learning that the teens are DDS students, as well as hearing them said that they are here to investigate the missing person case.

The village chief insisted that this is the work of the God of Plagues, but Class Q chose to keep it silent for now and prepared to initiate their investigation.

Near the entrance of the tunnel of Hyoutan Village, Tean G3 overheard the conversation through frequency radio while Fuu Hououji is getting ready to don the G3 suit, seeing that the suit is now fully repaired for minor damages, while Icchan glances at the scanner, picking up a faint image, indicating that the Kangaroo Lord is on the prowl again.

"Looks like round 2 between you that that Unknown is imminent, but you'll have to hurry if we don't want that thing to reach Kamikushi Village as one of Class Q is a potential victim since one of the previous Lords tried to target him…I don't know why…but it seems that some of the passengers of the Akatsuki are being targeted and we have no lead as to why the Unknown are targeting them…"

"I understand…"

As Fuu is now fully equipped as G3, she left the G3 Trailer and embarked on the hunt for the Lord, awaiting further calls from Hotoku and Minoru should they get a fix on the Kangaroo Lord's location.

17: Hitoshirezu no Sato

- - -

As G3 was walking around the mountains, she finds the route quite longer than taking the tunnel, due to its wide range, but she knew she had to take this fearing that the Unknown might be out there, and she realized that she can't take any more mistakes of what happened the other day which she almost got killed from the landslide, and she mentally looked back at what happened.

- - - FLASHBACK - - -

Thirty minutes later, the scene shows that G3 and the Kangaroo Lord are now outside the Hyoutan Village and into the main road, and a fight is already underway, and is now she has activated the GM-01 "Scorpion", and opened fire, managing to stager the Lord back, and then activated the GG-02 "Salamander", attaching both weapons and formed a higher-powered weapon.

"Now you're dead!"

G3 opened fire at the Lord, but the Lord jumped quite high and over G3, as the blast struck the portion of the hillside which triggered a landslide and boulders fell down, burying G3 alive, and the Kangaroo Lord went back inside Hyoutan Village, sensing someone else having the aura of the mystical seed.

- - -

Back inside the G3 Trailer, Icchan, Hotoku and Minoru tried to contact Fuu, but all they got was static signal, and no response came from G3.

"Fuu! Fuu! Can you hear us???"

"All we got was static!"

"Darn! This is not good!"

Hotoku and Minoru are about to bolt out of the trailer when Icchan stopped them and ordered them to remain in their seats, which the two teens rebutted, but Icchan firmly told them to stay, resulting in a shouting match, further causing tension among the trio, seemingly putting them at odds over G3's welfare.

"But Icchan…we can't just sit here and wait…! We've got to do something!"

"Minoru's right! Fuu's one of us! You can't tell us to sit here and do nothing…!"

"Use your heads! That Unknown's out there…if you show up he'll make beef stew out of you two! Remember…the G3 suit is four times as stronger than an armored tank so I'm sure Fuu will be alright…so have faith in her…and have faith in our creation…"

"Four times…????"

"Yup…it took us four years to work on the suit so…"

"Is that suppose to alleviate our anxieties?"

"All we can do now is wait…"

And while Team G3 await the return of G3, the scene shows the landslide-covered area where G3 was buried alive, which several hours passed by, there has been no movement, and because the location is quite far from everyone's, and anyone's, eyesight, no one can notice hit, but then the buries debris started to move and G3 emerged from the rubble, and the suit was quite scratched but it suffered no major damage.

G3 staggered back towards the G3 Trailer much to everyone's relief, as Fuu got out of the suit appearing to have no bruises on her head or her body though she was given some oxygen from the tank after inhaling so much dusts. Team G3 immediately began working on the suit to further strengthen its defenses.

- - - END FLASHBACK - - -

Fuu looked around to find signs that the Unknown is a nearby her vicinity and this time she can't afford to make any more mistakes as she consider this scenario as her "last chance" to stop the Unknown from claiming another target.

- - -

Meanwhile, Class Q came to an agreement that they have to stand guard over the tunnel way that connects Houtan Village and Kamikushi Village, but they seem to hit a snag as only Ryu and Megumi have masks while there are no available masks left, but Kyuu, Kinta and kazuma settled to stay at a hotel so they can keep the next potential victim, Hiroki Iwashimibu, under their eye so they might be able to catch the murder at sight.

However, as the day went on, Kyuu was talking to Mio on the phone when Iwashimibu was killed inside his room, with a stab wound on the chest with a pillow on it, and there Class Q became more resolved in cracking this case, while Ryu and Megumi went to the field and using Megumi's photographic memory, the two Class Q members were able to figure out the attacker's patterns. Meanwhile, G3 had no luck in finding the Kangaroo Lord so she went back to the G3 Trailer to ret while relying on their scanners to detect the Unknown's sudden movements.

- - -

The next, day, Class Q summoned the village chief, the innkeeper, Mio and the inspector as they slowly unraveled to them what they found out, and after various testimonies, everyone was surprised to hear that Mio is now narrowed as the culprit, which she denied it at first, but as more clues were shown, she slowly loses her grip until she unintentionally admitted the killings, and reasoned it that she's protecting the village in the name of the God of Plague.

- - -

Meanwhile, The Kangaroo Lord was spotted in one of the rooftops of the cottages near the entrance of the tunnel in Kamikushi Village, having sensed not one, but two persons having the "mystical seed", and is preparing to head to where he sensed it, which turn out to be where Class Q is, but G3 arrived and opened fire using the GM-01 "Scorpion" and the GG-02 "Salamander", forming the weapons together and opened fire, sending the Lord in a running frenzy, hopping away from his pursuer.

"You won't get away this time!"

- - -

Meanwhile, as Class Q are trying to get Mio to surrender, she took out a vial which she claimed that it contained the small pox virus, keeping everyone at bay until the Kangaroo Lord and G3 came stumbling in, surprising everyone, including Class Q , as the Lord tries to do a straight dropkick but G3 moved out of the way, hitting the wall instead, which revealed to be another secret passage, and Mio ran inside, while Kyuu, who by now was able to withstand the "withdrawal symptom"-like attack, followed, with close by. Ryu informed Kazuma and Megumi to wait as going inside might put them at risk of being infected by the small pox virus should the vial gets broken, while the inspector saw the other two combatants going elsewhere within the village, in utter surprise.

"So…that's the Unknown…and that's…the G3 I heard about…"

- - -

As Kyuu catches up to Mio, she told him that she is doing what her late grandfather instructing her…protecting the secret of this village, which Kyuu argued that this is wrong and that she shouldn't follow his wishes blindly, but Mio went ballistic and tries to smash the vial but Kinta came and knocked her out while catching the vial intact. The two emerged from the secret passage and are preparing to leave but then had to wait as they witnessed the fight between G3 and the kangaroo Lord.

G3 had problems catching her target due to its hopping abilities so she decided to use her latest weapon: GS-03 "Destroyer", and with precise timing, she threw it at one of the lord's foot, which limited the Lord's hopping ability, and there she uses the GM-01/GG-02 combination weapon and fired it a few times, slowly destroying the kangaroo Lord, and left, leaving everyone else staring in awe.

"Wow…I've never seen a Robocop in Japan…"

"No, Kyuu…that's the one I'm telling you about…from the MPD…"

"You mean Project G3??? The one we saw on TV???"

"Hmm…I must say it's impressive…it took out that Unknown with ease…"

"It's because it got upgraded…"

- - -

A few days later, Mio was accompanied by Class Q back at Kamikushi village and showed to her what the REAL "treasure" is, which was a hidden village that was full of life, and it turn out that the small pox virus that struck that hidden village has long been dissipated, making it safe for everyone to live, and Mio realized that what she did was wrong but the inspector assure that she'll be given a lawyer to help her case so she could receive a light sentence. She and her police escort left, returning to the tunnel, and Class Q wondered what her ultimate fate would be, but a few minutes later a scream is heard and shots were fired. As Class Q went towards the tunnel, they saw another Unknown tossing the police escorts aside and is heading straight for Mio.

It was the Vulture Lord, and is slowly grabbing Mio by her hair and jabbed its beak on her chest, pulling out something. Kyuu tried to go and stop him and Kinta joins in, but the Vulture Lord's wings flapped, creating a gust of wind which sends the two back, while the Lord pulled its beak out, holding a "mystical seed" and took it, and Mio slowly died from the wounds inflicted, but then glances at Kyuu, sensing an aura emanating from him and flew towards him, grabbing him and flew out, but the Class Q leader instinctively jabbed his finger on the Lord's eye, causing the creature to release him, and Kyuu fell on top of the roof top of a cottage, seemingly unharmed but the Vulture Lord nevertheless won as he took the seed from Mio and is heading to parts unknown.

- - -

The next day, Class Q reported to Dan about the case though they were in low spirits, and the DDS founder can tell why, as another Unknown came and killed Mio and fled, and Kyuu was almost killed but luckily survived the assault, and as the five DDS students left, he contacted the MPD, informing them of what happened, which was a serious conversation on both their parts, as both parties became increasingly concerned over these unprecedented attacks.

- - -

Meanwhile, at the MPD, Fuu and Minoru passed by the forensic department and the coroner talked to them about what he found out, which slowly raises an awareness in Fuu.

"The doctor near Hyoutan village told me that Ms. Mio Fuuma has a remarkable immunity to any type of viruses, including small pox. I'm guessing that this might be a motive though I'm not sure myself. I thought these Unknown are targeting only those connected to the Akatsuki Incident but then again, this might be another random attack."

Fuu and Minoru glanced at each other and decided to head back to the G3 Trailer to se if they can strengthen the G3 suit in order to find other Unknown the faster way to prevent more tragedies like that happened to Mio, but then Yoshiyuki Kojima was watching Fuu, staring maliciously at her.

"I won't let a bitch like you soil the image of the Metropolitan Police Department…women have no place here…and I'll make sure I'll tarnish your name so women will be forced to leave this department…"

To be Continued…

Case solved…but a tragedy in the end…

Mio Fumma, though got an ambiguous ending in the anime, got a tragic ending here…and this raises a question…why was she targeted by the Lord even though she's not among those listed in the Akatsuki Ferry Incident four years ago?

And Yoshiyuki Kojima shows up again, and is up to no good…

Preview:

Hikaru and Fuu reunite to team up again, and this time they intend to find Umi, but they hit a snag as Fuu is arrested for a crime that involves the Metropolitan Police Department, and this could also affect Team G3 as a whole.
