Seeds Of Agito

The Collector arc concludes here as Ryu and Megumi hatches a plan to pin down the Collector in his own trap, while someone returns and this will set for the "endgame" that would involve Class M.


Later in the day, Ryu summoned their classmates and showed to them the tapes that they found at Maya's room. It turns out that Ryu and Megumi's "classmates" were members of a movie club in Shibusawa's Junior High division before they enrolled in the Senior High division, and this brought them back memories of their early days, but Ryu is glancing at the group, still guessing that one of them is the Collector.

(Opening song from Kamen Rider Agito)

Yami no naka mitsumete 'ru...

Mata dare ka ga heiki na kao wo shite

Ready to Go, Count ZERO Kamen Raidaa AGITO

Ready to Go, Count ZERO Kamen Raidaa AGITO

Ima kimi ga inai to... Get on!

Ready to Go, Count ZERO Kamen Raidaa AGITO
Kimi no mama de kawareba ii
Here we go, Count ZERO Kamen Raidaa AGITO
Ima kimi ga inai to... Get on!

As the group left, Ryu confided to Megumi that he managed to guess which one of the group is the Collector, and all he needed no is how to get himself to admit it and why he is doing this. By then Kazuma called Ryu on the cellphone and told him that after getting last night's text message about Emina Ogura, he managed to hack into her online account and there Ryu and Megumi went to check her room to see several online abusive messages hurled against her.

"Hmm…Megumi…look at the name Anime…it's an anagram…"

"Really?"

As they looked into it, they both cracked at the name as they spelled it backwards and there they found out who it is. Anime is Emina, and after reading her online messages, they seem to get a link, but then Kazuma brought an unusual topic.

"Ryu…it's…it's about Kyuu…"

"What about Kyuu?"

"Yesterday, we went with Hikaru Shidou of Class M to Shibuya just to help her look for Umi Ryuuzaki…and last night, I saw Kyuu encountered an Unknown…and they ended up in an alley…I…I don't know how to say this…"

"DID SOMETHING HAPPENED TO KYUU?"

"Yeah…believe it or not…"

Silence enveloped the two teens until the conversation continued.

"He managed to beat that Unknown…"

"Seriously? How is that possible?"

"I…wait…"

Ryu and Megumi hold onto the cellphone as they heard Kazuma wailed at what he was told.

"What? Kyuu left early this morning? Five am? And you didn't stop him? Sorry, Ryu…got to go!"

As the two teens cut the line, Ryu and Megumi decided to head for the old school building to re-examine the exterior, and there they noticed several ants going in and out of the building, and noticed a piece that a few ants are carrying, so Ryu went to the guard on duty and showed out his DDS badge, and there the detective in charge was pleased to find out about this.

"It's no wonder…he-he-he…you sure impressed me a lot…"

Ryu then picked up several more "fragments" and gave it to the officer to be sent to forensics and then Ryu and Megumi went back, and as they passed by a garden they noticed that a flower is missing, and the blue-haired Class Q member guessed what it is and figured out what is next in store, so he posted a message informing his "classmates" that he knows who the Collector is.


At Tokyo, Hikaru passed by Teruo's house and saw him ready to go to Tokyo High after a few weeks of absence, and she decided to walk with him to get him to speak out why he missed classes.

"Hey…can we walk together?"

"I guess…after all…I'm single again.."

"Why?"

"Well…"

"Say…have I seen you before…I thought I saw you in a ferry four years ago…"

"As in…the Akatsuki Ferry? Wait…you're that redhead I saw being thrown off? That was four years ago!"

"Hmm…guess we have something in common…"

And so the two walked together and are heading for school, while the scene shifts to the Tokyo Harbor, where several wet footprints are seen and is heading towards where Hikaru and Teruo are heading.


At the meeting room of Shibusawa Academy, the "classmates" are assembled and that they are serving coffee that Megumi prepared, so as they sat down, Megumi placed the coffee on the table, which Ryu took it, and while his back is turned, someone put a powdered content on it, and just as everyone is about take their coffee, a janitor came and informed them that the room needed to be cleaned so Megumi took the cups and went to the next room, and the "Collector", who appeared to be within the group, was getting jittered as he was unable to tell which mug is Ryu's.

"Fuck! What timing…now I can't tell which one is Ryu's and which is mine…my hope now is that one of them has the drink…! I'll be screwed if I drink the ONE by mistake…! Blast…had I known of this I might have planned it sooner…!"

At the next room, everyone took their mug, and slowly drank them. The Collector hope that one of his victims would be the one taking it, but then everyone seemed to be fine, and there Ryu glanced at the person who has not taken his coffee. It was Masashi Tominaga.

Then the janitor came in and removed his cap. It was Kinta. There he revealed his status as a DDS student and pointed out that Ryu and Megumi are also DDS students. And there Ryu made the comment where he anticipated the planned murder.

"You were hoping that I drink my mug of coffee that contained the powder from the roots of the Wolfsbane plant that was dug out earlier…since the roots of the Wolfsbane plant has deadly poison in it once its powders have been cultivated and taken into powdered form…"

Everyone glanced at Tominaga, all were in a state of disbelief at what they just heard.


At Tokyo, Hikaru is gently pressing Teruo to open up on why he skipped classes for several days just as Umi did, and she wondered if he is connected to this, knowing Umi and Teruo aren't the type of persons who would resort to eloping just because they're in love.

"Come on, Teruo…I know you're in love with Umi…but you didn't have to ask her to go elope with you…"

"No…you don't understand…Agito…"

"I know…you have a power similar to mine…is that why those Unknown are after you…"

"I'm not sure…about Umi…there's something you need to know…Umi…she's…she's…"

"Calm down…I know Umi…she's not a two-timer…in fact you're her first love…"

"IT'S NOT THAT! Umi's dead! She died because of those guys at the…"

"Teruo…Hikaru…what are you doing…?"

The two teens glanced at the source of the voice, and they were surprised to see who it was - - it was Umi Ryuuzaki! She was fine, but drenched in water. It turns out that after being hit by tranquilizer darts and weapons from G3, she fell into the water and is supposed to have drowned, but the water seem to have an effect on her because of her previous attachment to water during her Magic Knight days that her body, along with her Agito powers, have made a mystical healing on her but the process is so slow that it kept her "asleep" of several days, and thanks to her Agito powers, she was kept "invisible" at sea so none of the divers from the MPD could find her.

"Umi! Thank goodness! We we're worried about you! I though some Unknown grabbed you…or Teruo here had you eloped with him! We've search the whole Tokyo and Shibuya area just to find you…and you turn out to be here…why are you wet?"

"Come on, Hikaru! Teruo and I are too young to elope! We just started going out for several weeks! We're not that desperate…and it's a long story so…Teruo…what's wrong? Are you alright? You looked like you saw a ghost…"

Indeed, Teruo looked like he saw a ghost and he was frightened to see her, and so he ran off, with Umi going after him while leaving Hikaru baffled. Teruo said that Umi is killed and yet she shows up and appeared unharmed, and…the redhead wondered if what she just heard is connected to her disappearance.

To be Continued…

Mayonaka ni mezameta
