Seeds Of Agito
A new story arc enters the fray as Class M and Q are about to encounter new challenges amid the increasing number of killings at the hands of the Unknown (aka Lords), though they still have no clue as to why random victims ended up killing, thus a pattern can't be made to get a clue.
Meanwhile, in the next few chapters Pluto will soon make their debut, which would put Class Q, and soon M, into the center of conflict as the three magic Knights will soon enter into a conflict of their own.
Two weeks have passed since the Metropolitan Police Department have reinstated Fuu and Team G3 back into their force, things have simmered down as Tomoko Tohatsu's parents decided not to press charges after hearing that Kojima's been punished and wanted to move on with their lives after being assured that their only child's killer is caught, and Kojima got a respite as he was told by his superiors to "lay low" for now. He knew he still has yet to be brought back in as everyone knows that he's been demoted and he can only be brought out once Eriol is out of town.
Meanwhile, Kyuu is spending more time going to Hikaru's family dojo so the Class m leader can teach the Class Q leader how to defend himself against an Unknown after he is being targeted as well. Meanwhile, her three elder brothers are observing her, thinking that they should talk to her about her "Agito powers" as she is now heard on news.
Agito by Shinichi Ishihara
(Opening song from Kamen Rider Agito)
Yami no naka mitsumete 'ru...

Ready to Go, Count ZERO Kamen Raidaa AGITO

31: Ni idō suru
Every weekends, Kyuu often go to the Shidou family dojo to train in self-defense and he seemingly picked up some points, as he slowly, but steadily, learned most of the basics of defense and offensive attacks yet he mostly ended up getting walloped, and the redhead patiently had to put up with her "clumsy student", even though the lesson is for free.
"Come on, Kyuu…you're almost there! Pull yourself together…we don't know when another Unknown is going to attack…it seems that anyone is targeted…and that includes you, me and Umi! We have to be ready and we have to stay alive! We're DDS students!"
"Yes, ma'am…"
As the two continued sparring, her three elder brothers, Masaru, Satoru and Kakeru kept on glancing at her, seeing that she seemed to be fine, yet they couldn't help but worry over her safety, especially after she was finally mentioned on news and that she is now targeted by the MPD about this. They had to do something and cannot stay by idly and pretend over that this is nothing.
Masaru: "We have to talk to her about this…"
Satoru: "Are you sure we should?"
Kakeru: "Guess so…I have a feeling she's trying to keep this fact from us…we should let her know that we're behind her all the way…so that she won't feel that she's a burden to us…"
Masaru: "Yes…but let me do the talking as to not spook her."
The two brothers nodded at their eldest sibling's suggestion and are planning on when to break the news to her, while Hikaru and Kyuu continued to spar until it was almost sunset. The 14-year old Class Q leader then went home after a strenuous "workout".
An hour later, seeing that no one is around, Hikaru decided to see if she could upgrade her new-found powers the same way when she was still a Magic Knight and summoned the Alter Ring, and as she stood still and was about to meditate on summoning a new upgrade, Masaru showed up, and Hikaru was taken by surprise, yet her eldest brother waved at her to calm down, as to assure to her that there's nothing to be afraid of.
"You don't have to be afraid, Hikaru…we already knew…in fact we're the ones who are worried…we thought you might go out and look for fights and stuff, but we were relieved to see you used them responsibly in the right way…and we're proud of you…"
"You…you knew I was…Agito…? The whole time?"
"We learned only after secretly following you to Honshu Island…we asked a fisherman why you went there and learned that you want to meet up with the people who took care of you…and when we saw you about to return, two fish-like Unknown attacked you, and just as we are about to help you…poof! You became this Agito…and fought them off. Then in the months that followed we saw you fought several Unknown and we were relieved to see you were not corrupted…"
"I'm sorry…I didn't mean to keep this from you…"
"No…you did what you think is right…but we decided to break this news to you so you won't feel that you're alone…Satoru and Kakeru…as well as I are behind you…we'll help you in any way we can…"
"Thanks…"
As the two siblings hugged, Kakeru and Storu came out as well and hugged their youngest sibling, and there she was touched by this. Then Kakeru said something goofy which seem to form a sibling bond stronger than before.
Kakeru: "Hey, Hikaru…you're a super heroine now, right? You need a cool pose whenever you become Agito! Not just stod still and that…you need to have a very cool entrance!"
Satoru: "Yeah…and we'll help you out!"
Masaru: "You guys…come on…"
Hikaru: "Um…sure…as long as I don't look goofy…"
The next day, Hikaru and Fuu meet up and head for DDS to catch up on new lessons and hoped that they get a case to solve. Earlier they were told by Umi she is on her way to DDS after attending her make-up classes which she missed because of her "disappearance". Upon resuming her high school, she quit the swimming club under the pretext of "personal reasons", which surprised both the dean and the swimming club coach, yet they respected her decision.
As she was on her way to DDS, a lot of thing ran through her head, and she was at unease thinking about them, especially encountering the Overlord of Darkness. She wondered what he is up to and started to piece together the attacks on random people, especially children. She also wondered if her condition is somewhat connected to the murders yet she has no evidence and had to use her detective "know-how" figure out the connections.
"Since I got this…power…I'm constantly being assaulted by the so-called Unknown…then this boy…though he cured me…I can sense an evil aura in him…and seeing him change from a 7-year old to a 13-year old…he gave me the chill…and he even said that I should serve him…if he's the one behind the killings…then I should stop fearing him and face him…speaking of which, Hikaru and Kyuu are also attacked…maybe if I should tell her my secret…maybe she might understand me…"
Since her "Agito powers" emerged, she became a wandering derelict until the Overlord of Darkness cured her cellular decay, and even named her Gills, which she wondered why, though she seem to accept it and she now resolved to use her power to protect and save people with the best of her abilities.
"Though I lost my magic Knight powers…at least the one I just have might make up for it…at least it enabled me to defeat the Unknown that threaten my life…maybe I should use this when needed…I wonder what Hikaru and Fuu would think if they see me as Gills…"
Umi remained unaware that Hikaru is Agito nor Fuu is G3, so she had no idea how to tell them her secret, but then she felt that someone is following her and turn around, seeing a boy who is as tall as Kyuu, but is a little shorter than her, and he almost resembled Ascot. He was blushing and she saw him wearing a school uniform that is quite the same as the school she is attending, and she decided to approach him.
"Who are you…? Are from my school?"
"Y-yes…"
"What's your name? How old are you?"
"Teruo Toyota…I…I'm 15 years old…"
"He's 15…? Yet he looked younger than me…he's a bit shorter like Kyuu Renjou but…"
She glanced at him from head to toe and decided to talk to him and asked him why he is following her, and she blushed at hearing his reason: he was smitten by her beauty and wanted to court her, and wanted to know more about her, and seeing that he resembled Ascot, she started to wonder if she should fall in love, seeing him cute, but decided to know about him first before advancing.
"So…you want to be friends with me…?"
"I…if you want…but if you don't want to…it's okay…"
"Can I have your phone number? I'll give you mine…"
"Um…sure…"
The two blushing teens exchanged phone numbers and promised to call each other later, romantic feelings started to evolve and she seem to feel that her life is about to change. However, they were unaware that they are being watched, a man was watching them, though his back is only seen, he is shown with a blond ponytail and wearing a trench coat draped over his back as if he is wearing a cloak. Then the scene shifts on his lips, an evil smirk is shown and he spoke softly at the departing teens.
"Umi Ryuuzaki…member of Class M…and though not part of the Akatsuki Ferry passengers…you have the powers of Agito…and you are on our hit list…and you'll be either an integral part in our conquest…or a threat that must be eliminated…"
Later at DDS, Umi meets up with Fuu and Hikaru, and Class M are about to leave DDS since it's dismissal, and there the two told Umi about what they heard, concern over about this yet the blue-haired beauty was calm about the matter.
Hikaru: "Is it true…? You quit the swimming club?"
Fuu: "Are you sure it's the right decision you made…?"
Umi: "Yeah…it's a personal decision from my part…but I guess it's meant to be…but at least I can concentrate on DDS after high school classes…besides…we're Class M, right? We should be sticking together…"
By then Kyuu came and bragged about beating Shiramine of Class A during gym classes, which Hikaru patted the Class Q leader on the head with pride, seeing that the training she gave him have paid off, but then, he began clutch his belly as pain took over, but then two Lords came and are advancing on the four: the Oyster Lord and the Clam Lord. Fuu instinctively took Kyuu and carried him on her back and ran, while Hikaru and Umi held them off, long enough for the other two to get far. But then the two Lords broke free and began pursuit in two separate directions, where the two Class M members followed.
In one alley, Umi changed into Gills and fought the Oyster Lord but had difficulty penetrating his shell armor but then jumped high and performed the jumping heel kick which finally smashed its way through and stabbed the Lord on the head, exploding after wards, and went to another area to see if Fuu and Kyuu are safe.
Meanwhile Agito fought the Clam Lord and after several attacks, she performed the Ground Punch and smashed through the Oyster Lord's head, killing him after the Lord exploded and left. She reverted back to normal before she meet up with Umi and Fuu, and saw Kyuu getting to his feet, his body pain disappeared and the tri are relieved, though Umi noticed this a she experienced this before her Agito powers emerged fully.
"Is it just me or has Kyuu Renjou had the same painful experience as I did? Please let my hunch be wrong…if I was lucky enough to control this power…will Kyuu be able to control his…? And if he do have Agito powers…what next…?"
Nearby, the same man who watched Umi earlier is there, seeing Umi and Hikaru in action as Gills and Agito, and then glances at Fuu, but then Yurie came to his side, speaking to him and a conversation took place.
"Master…it's just as we confirmed…Umi Ryuuzaki and Hikaru Shidou have powers…similar to Agito's…but Fuu Hououji is no threat…without the G3 exo-suit she is nothing…the two Class M members are a threat…"
"And so is Kyuu Renjou…"
"Really, master…? What can he do…? You saw him as weak as a kitten…"
"Just as the two Class M members who also experienced body pains in the past…it's an indication that the boy there may have Agito powers…"
"If so…then Master Ryu must be kept away from him…"
"Then tell Master Ryu when he gets home…"
"At once…master…"
And so Yurie and the unidentified blonde-haired, ponytail haired man boarded their limousine and left for DDS to pick up Ryu Amakusa, now having new information in their hands and are plotting on what to do next.

Hope you like this one…and yes, it's a new story arc that would eventually bring in Pluto.
Class M is complete again and are resuming normal lives, except two Lords show up to target Kyuu, but thanks to Umi and Hikaru, their schoolmate is saved…at least for now as Umi is starting to suspect something from the Class Q leader.
I'm sure you know who made his debut, the villain of DSQ…he now knows a certain deal about Class M and Kyuu having a secret…
Preview:
The next story arc involves the Metropolitan Police Department initiate their new plan: Capture AGITO, and Kojima is again going to give Class M a VERY, big headache as more trouble comes in their way.
Just like above you, Pluto makes their semi-debut as Kyuu Renjou goes to Karuizawa to solve a pending investigation on the Mirai no Idoru (aka The Cursed Idol) case where Sakurako Yukihira of Class A goes there as well, and the two DDS students duke out on who gets to solve the case first.
