Seeds Of Agito

The Collector arc ends here as the case is unfolded and the Collector finally revealed is reasons for is actions, which explains the "tragic" tag, just tragedy will befall one of the Class M members as they are being ambushed by the Lords.


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.


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, wit 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.

(Opening song from Kamen Rider Agito)

Yami no naka mitsumete 'ru...

As everyone glanced at Tominaga, the teen was shaking with nervousness as his cover was blown ad had to think of a way to get off the hook, as he picked up the mug and slammed it at the wall along with the contents. He was losing it more and is acting erratic.

"You lie! I had a sore throat so I can't drink coffee! See…no proof!"

Ryu glanced at Tominaga as he hurled more alibis just to confuse the Class Q boy just to convince the rest he is innocent.

"Remember…Kogure was killed when I was with you…and anyone can hit on Asabuki…so you can't prove anything on me…Hah!"

But Ryucalmly explained to him why Tominaga is the culprit in several ways and hints are mentioned starting with the following:

- The culprit advanced the alarm clock on Asabuki's room so Maya unknowingly recorded the show that was being broadcasted instead of the show she is expecting to broadcast;

- At the auditorium, Ryu was waiting for any of his suspects to make a verbal mistake, and Tominaga mentioned that "the clock is advanced by 30 minutes";

- Using the "double" murder, I which when the day Kogure was abducted, Ryu pointed out that the culprit used a fake bottle to make it appeared that Kogure was hit, and then when Megumi is there, using her as a witness to watch the "actual" murder;

- Prior to setting up the snuff video, the culprit began to molest Megumi, then using the bottle to break her hymen, and then had her watch the death scene of Kogure, as her blood on the bottle stained the watch the culprit is wearing, which is now evident on Tominaga's watch, and as they glanced at Tominaga's watch, the bloodstain is dried and is still there on the watch's strap.

Kinta then showed to them the bottle used on the "first" murder, in which it was made of candy, which fits the hints of the case.

Finally, Ryu revealed that he managed to talk to Asabuki on the phone via the hospital and revealed to him the contentsof video tape # 7 that was missing I her room, which is about the taping of the junior high movie scene where a bottle smashing scene is shown, and that Tominaga was the one who attacked Asabuki as he feared that if Ryu saw this, it might give everything away. Now that he's trapped, Tominaga had no choice but to admit his crimes.

"Okay…I admit it. Happy now?"

Touya and Megumi asked him why he did this and this is all he had to say.

"No…they're just pretending to be friends. I have no real friends…except for one. Emina Ogure. We were dating…but…knowing that if everyone finds out, we started dating…through the net, in which it all started when I fell in love with a girl named "Anime" via the web…"

But then their romance on the net ended due to abusive comments from the message board, resulting in Anime to leave, and during this he learned that Anime was Emina. After a frantic research he learned that it was Kogure who spread the messages, as he hated her for having better grades than her. That prompted him to do this to Kogure, but then Touya spoke and revealed that Emina wasn't Anime but it was her. After a through explanation from her, Tominaga realized he killed Kogure over a misunderstanding because "Anime" "killed" herself by ceasing to post messages.

Tominaga cried over this as he was picked up by police.

However, before Tominaga was escorted out, Megumi gave him a hard slap, which Kinta was surprised, and Ryu told him why.

"That's foul..."

"Yet he deserves it for doing that to Megumi when she never done any harm to him..."


Meanwhile, Umi catches up to Teruo who is still scared, and she hugged him to calm him down, and as she sees the younger boy staring like a scared child, she kissed him on the lips to sooth his nerves. It worked as he calmed down and she let him go.

"I'm okay, Teruo…I survived…thanks to my powers…and I'm surprised that you also have one…like last night when you used telekinesis to lift a pitch fork and stab that Unknown who resembled a mole…"

"I…I thought I lost you…I tried to make that Kojima guy pay for what he did…"

"I'm here now…we won't be separated…okay?"

"Lovers forever…?"

"Forever…after high school…college…then we get jobs and settle down…we have kids after we get married…"

"Only to you…"

But their bliss is interrupted with the Panther Lord showing up, and Umi changed into Gills to fight off the Lord.

"Teruo…go. Leave this to me! Henshin!"

Teruo nodded after Umi's body changed into the green-armored Gills, and ran off as he hope that she beats the Lord, and that the MPD won't show up this time around. As the Panther Lord tries to get to Teruo, Gills kicked him back and the fight is about to commence.


Meanwhile, Kyuu is on his way to DDS when he took a shortcut which is where Gills and the Panther Lord is fighting, and there he sensed the aura of the Lord nearby, but before he could discern it, the Puma Lord grabbed him from behind and slammed him against the post, ready to strangle the Class Q leader and Kyuu kicks the attacker to get some leverage. He was unwilling to get killed at this time as he is determined to become a detective.

"I'm not giving up! I don't know why you're after me…but I'm not giving my life to the likes of you!"

To be Continued…

Again, sorry of this chapter's too short for you, but I'll make it up on the next chapter, as the action heats up.
