Seeds Of Agito
A new story arc comes in and this is where Kuniko Touya makes her first appearance, and this will be as close as it is in the manga and episode 29 of the anime, though expect some of the parts to be altered so that I can infuse with some original story parts.
Hikaru commences her search for Umi with Kyuu and Kazuma tagging along, though expect some mystery and surprises as Hikaru herself is unaware that she has two potential "Agito" allies coming with her…
And expect Kojima to cause more trouble for G3 as he now started to suspect on why certain people are targeted by the Unknown, with Teruo being the focal point…
A few days more after the viper incident, Class Q is back at DDS, and surprisingly, while they are inside their classroom, Ryu and Megumi are summoned by Hongou to Dan's office with the other three left behind, and the boys wondered why they are left out. They became suspicious and secretly tailed the trio.
Agito by Shinichi Ishihara
(Opening song from Kamen Rider Agito)
Yami no naka mitsumete 'ru...

Ready to Go, Count ZERO Kamen Raidaa AGITO

43: Korekuta no ii Kensaku
At Dan's office, the principal told the two summoned Class Q members that they'll go undercover at Shibusawa Academy to infiltrate and investigate their next case: The Collector. There Dan explained to the two about a series of murders shown on video via the internet while Hongou told the two about a girl gone missing from Shibusawa Academy: Emina Ogura, aged 15 years old. All of the these are connected to rumors being spread, and said that the school hired DDs to verify the rumors as well as to solve the murders, informing them that this mission will be dangerous and gives them the option to accept or reject it.
"I accept, sir."
"I accept also."
By then, Hongou sensed something from the door, and sneaked towards it and opened it suddenly, revealing the rest of Class Q eavesdropping and thus he reprimanded them for their actions, though Dan doesn't seem to be bothered by it, expecting this to happen.
"What are you doing here?"
"Um…we we're wondering why we were not involved in this case…"
"Of course…Ryu and Megu looked well enough to blend in to senior high…I'm too young to go undercover…Kinta's too old to go there as well…you looked almost like you're still in elementary…"
"What? I'm in junior high!"
Ryu and Megumi giggled and bowed to Dan as they take their leave, and the others followed, trying to persuade the two to tell Dan to have them involved. As the two adults are the only ones left, Hongou couldn't help but feel apprehension towards Ryu, which Dan countered it.
"Since Amakusa came…things get a little weird…especially since Pluto managed to infiltrate this school…"
"Don't be like that. That's what our enemies want us to do…pointing fingers. I'm very sure Ryu is among those who'll succeed in my stead and is a valuable student to DDS and to Class Q."
"But…about Kyuu…"
"What about him…?"
"His surname is Renjou, right?"
"Yes…"
"Do you suppose…?"
"I can't be sure…maybe he has the same surname but of a different family…"
"I also wondered how the steel door from the secret room got broken…and he's just a boy…"
"Maybe the hinges had gave in…"
Outside, at the streets, Kyuu caught up with Ryu and asked him to look after Megumi, as he explained to him that she was targeted by the Unknown, and by someone who locked them in the secret room. Recalling what he heard about Dan's trust in him, Ryu accepted his classmate's request and promised to look after Megumi. After that, both parted ways as the Class Q leader was relieved to see that she is in good hands.
At her apartment, Megumi was preparing her things for her trip to Shibusawa Academy with Ryu, and she blushed as she recalled Kyuu kissing her just to keep her focused on staying conscious. She touched her lips, feeling Kyuu's lips touching hers, and she wondered if she is fine with this or not, as she was still unsure on whether she likes him or not.
"Why am I feeling this…? Am I falling for Kyuu?"
On his way home, Kyuu heard a car horn beeping and looked to his side, which turn out to be Kazuma, inside his limousine, and the two talked about the incident at the secret room a few days ago and Ryu and Megumi's mission, which they are unsure if it's fine with just the two of them, with the computer genius suggesting to indirectly get involved, but their discussion was interrupted when Hikaru came via her motorcycle, and she waved at the two, and there the trio talked things over, and hearing this she decided to ask for their help.
"Umi's missing again?"
"Hope she's fine…last time I saw her on the streets with no panties…hope to see her privates again…"
Kazuma blushed and covered his lips as he uttered it, and both Hikaru and Kyuu glared at him for the remarks but Kyuu accepted the request since he has nothing else to do, and Kazuma accepted the request just to make her stop glaring at him. With that said, Hikaru left and two minutes later the two Class Q members are about to part ways when their bodies began to experience pain, similar to dysmenorrheal bouts, clutching their bellies and knelt on the floor, as the Viper Lord appeared and grabbed Kyuu.
As Kyuu braces for himself for the inevitable, the Lord glances at Kazuma, and sensed an aura in him and drops the Class Q leader and performed a finger-sign gesture and head for him. With Kyuu still in pain, he was unable to stop the Lord from getting to Kazuma, but then help arrived as G3 came via a motorcycle and opened fire with the GG-01 weapon, firing the Viper Lord with hard shells of ammunitions, and the Lord was forced to retreat for now, seeing that his chances might be slim should Agito show up.
As G3 helps Kyuu and Kazuma, who by then felt fine as their body pains subsided, they then glanced at Agito who stood there. Hikaru sensed the Viper Lord's presence and changed into Agito to go and help, but after seeing G3 chasing the Lord away, Agito just watched. She nodded at G3 and G3 nodded in return, and both parted ways seeing the two Class Q members are fine now. Kazuma saw Agito in full view and recalled that Kyuu's "belt" was quite the same as Agito's and then recalled that he saw his "belt" materializing and disappearing, and he was now getting worried as he started to suspect a pattern.
"I wonder if I should ask Kyuu about this…but then, he might deny it as I also deny what I saw in myself…but then again…what if…the Unknown assaulted Kyuu…then me…does thias mean that these Unknown are targeting people who have Agito belts…?"
At the MPD HQ, a day after, Kojima reprimanded Fuu for not pursuing Agito as he gave her orders to implement the Operation: Capture Agito, but Fuu rebutted by asking him if Agito attacked a victim or not, and what would he do if she chose to capture Agito and let the Viper Lord kill the two would-be victims, which she answered by telling her superiors she is being blackmailed and all, and the officer was forced to let her off the hook.
Then one of the MPD policemen came and gave him the printout of the passenger manifesto on the Akatsuki Ferry incident, and after reading it, he saw Teruo Toyota's name among the list, as well as the other passengers, alive and dead. Fuu became suspicious and asked him what does the list had anything to do with the current problems.
"I believe it is connected to the Unknown…they attack people they choose rather than everyone within their paths…the people they killed seemed to have a reason…something they deemed them a threat to their kind…"
"Are you saying we are a threat to these Unknown? What made you say that?"
"Remember that boy named Teruo?"
"What about him?"
"He's the one who wrapped me in the metal sheets."
"You're lying! How can that be?"
"He possesses a supernatural ability…and the Unknown went after him instead of me. And I believe the people who survived the Akatsuki Ferry may have the same powers…that's my theory on why they are killed off. The attacks on DDS…Morihiko Dan didn't notice this and maybe that's why the applicants are killed…the Unknown doesn't want super-powered detectives chasing them…then this Kyuu Renjou…maybe he also has powers…"
"That's bullshit!"
"Then explain to me why he is now a constant victim to the Unknown attacks…just like the survivors of the Akatsuki ferry…you'd better think about this…this could be our breakthrough in nailing those son of a bitches…"
"Our?"
"The higher-ups made it clear…you work under me…unless you want to vacate the G3 suit to me…"
"Grr…"
Later in the day, at Shibusawa Academy, Ryu and Megumi arrived and are in their school uniforms (Shibusawa Academy uniforms, that is) and are placed in Section A-!, where math instructor Misato Murasaki introduced the two undercover detectives to their "classmates", in which both teens took their seats. Megumi noted that no one in their "class" looked at them or greeted them, and so the two were told to take their seats.
There Megumi was taken aback learning that Calculus is now used in first year, but Ryu noted that Shibusawa is an elite school, but then one of their classmates mock at his two "classmates". He is Junya Kogure
"Hey, newbies! what are you whispering about?"
"Sorry."
"Think you're smart? Then try solving the question!"
Ryu stood up and went to the blackboard and answered the questions, shocking Junya and even the class.
Later in the day, As Megumi and Ryu are talking, girls came and asked for Ryu's name, and Megumi was surprised to see that her Class Q classmate has become quite popular.
"Wow! Which school did you came from?"
"What are your best subjects?"
"Are you single? I'm available!"
But then a male voice spoke and a boy came to remind the girls that Ryu is still new here and they shouldn't pres themselves on him too much.
"Easy, girls, he's new here so be a little easy on him. Hi, I'm the class representative, my name is Masashi Tominaga."
"Hi."
Megumi tried to follow Ryu's lead and asked who is the female class representative, in which a girl in glasses stood up, in a very shy tone.
"Um...sorry...my name is Kuniko Touya...please to meet you..."
"Hi. I see you're new here. I'm Maya Asabuki."
"Please to meet you."
"So...what's your relationship with Amakusa?"
"Nothing, really...we're just transfer students...much like acquaintances..."
"Looks like Amakusa now has a rival in terms of brain power...like that guy over there...Kazuki Oobayashi..."
Maya and Masahi then noted that sine the rumor spread through out school, everyone assumed that he is the Collector, though they have no proof of it, and Ryu noted this seeing Kazuki had a scary look.
At break time, Ryu told Megumi that he got a text from Kinta, saying that Kyuu and Kazuma are helping Hikaru search for Umi, who went missing again, and Megumi was worried after hearing from Ryu about the Viper Lord targeting Kazuma as well but were saved by G3 and Agito, but then their conversation was interrupted by a group of bullies who surrounded them and the two Class Q members braced themselves as they had to keep their composures to avoid exposing themselves as DDS students.

Just like in episode 29 of the anime, but with a twist, as Kyuu and Kazuma are now aiding Agito in searching for Gills, while G3 and Agito indirectly met, and an understanding appeared to form between them, though neither one of them knew each other's alter ego.
