Seeds Of Agito
As Ryu is welcomed into the Renjou Family, Pluto and the Overlord of Darkness began their alliance with Anubis and Kelberos offering a gesture of goodwill, which involves a sacrifice of a DDS student…and this would shock Class Q, and Ryu, to no end…
-x-
During the day, a police car is escorting Kaori from the local police station to the Metropolitan Police Department so the MPD can make use of their facilities to get information out from her regarding Pluto. She is worried that Anubis and/or Kelberos would finish her off and she resigns to her fate, recalling what Anubis told her before setting off to Mt. Fuji and infiltrated Yuge's mansion.
"This seems to be my end…I was told if I fail this I'll be killed off…my carelessness costs me my spot in Pluto and now I'm about to be sent to the MPD and be forced to reveal Pluto's location and who I am working for…I wonder what kind of death am I to be put on…?"
Kaori is bracing herself for any eventuality as she expects either Anubis or Kelberos to appear and cause the car she is riding on to crash or explode, but then she saw through the front mirror a flying object approaching the police car from behind and she ducks, just as the rear window shattered.
CRASH!
"Kyaaah!"
"What the?"
"Behind us!"
"What is that?"
"An Unknown!"
Outside the police car, the scene shifts and it is shown that the Bat Lord, wearing "special goggles", is behind the attack and uses its sonic wave to shatter the rear window of the car and uses its feet to scoop Kaori away, and then uses its sonic wave to disorient the police car and crashes to the "center island", then does it again at an oncoming gas truck, which disoriented the driver and crashes toward the police car, both vehicles exploded as the Bat lord flees the scene with Kaori in tow.
The incident causes a monstrous traffic jam as the Bat Lord flies and uses his sonic wave to cause other cars to crash at another passing vehicle which seconds later resulted in a crash pile-up, producing deaths and injuries to other motorists, and ambulances are sent but they couldn't reach to the victims on time due to the traffic and many died on the spot, some died before the ambulances arrived.
At an open road where no one can be seen, the Bat Lord arrived with Kaori, and the scene shows that Kelberos is waiting, a devious smirk on his lips as she awaits her punishment but to her surprise he made a statement which seem to remove her anxiety and gives her hope to redeem herself within the ranks of Pluto.
"Be thankful that Anubis persuaded Charon and myself not to punish you for bungling our last operation…at least you have another chance to redeem yourself…better not bungle the next mission or else we won't give you another shot."
"Th-thank you, master…thank you…"
With that, Kelberos and Kaori boarded their car and left just as the Bat lord departed, and no one else is aware of the incident due to the sudden events and lack of witnesses about the Bat Lord's attacks.

Outside the Sakuragaoka High, a van with tinted windows is parked near the school entrance with a satellite-like device attached on the roof. They were listening to the conversation and within several minutes Class K came out and are heading home. The van then stealthily followed the four girls, and they have taken note of their route plan on where they are going and a radio conversation can be heard a minute later.
"Master Anubis…we now know where the four girls are heading…which direction they took…they appear to be heading to a part-time job…we believe they can be vulnerable once they leave later in the night…what are your orders…? Should we capture Tsumugi Kotobuki or we kill her and her three friends on the spot…? We can do that while she has not yet awakened her Agito powers…"
"No…let the alone for now…just follow them and wait for the night to set in…I will join you shortly…"
"Yes, sir…"
And so the van, which belonged to Pluto, stealthily follows the four girls and stayed at a corner near the place where Class K is taking their part-time jobs, and are waiting for the night to set in until the time comes right.

At the Hirasawa house, Ui, Yui's younger sister, arrived home and is washing the dishes as she is ready to prepare tonight's dinner when she accidentally dropped a glass, and it hits the floor, causing shards of broken shrapnel to scatter on the ground, and as she is sweeping the floor with a broom and dustpan, she had a cold chill and started to feel uncomfortable about this and glances at the window, feeling that something might happen to her elder sister.
"Onee-chan…please be okay…what happened just now is a bad omen…I hope I'm just worrying over nothing…please come back home safely…I'm beginning to wonder if getting enrolled at DDS is a right choice for you since it might get you into trouble with criminals…"
-x-
At the Manabe house, Nodoka is also feeling the same discomfort, especially after hearing the news about the incident at the highway, and wondered if the Unknown might target Yui and the others though she had to brush it off since anyone can be targeted and is confident that Yui will come home safely. She then resume her studies as she glances at the picture frame where it shows her and Yui during their elementary days, when suddenly a crack appeared out of nowhere and this troubled her greatly.
"Yui…please tell me this is a false alarm…"

86: Deadly Signs
At DDS, just before sunset, Morihiko Dan got the news from Superintendent Touyama about the incident at the road and that Kaori is missing amid the wreckage of the police cars where the charred bodies of her police escorts are found. They are still searching for her body in case she is thrown off from the car or if the Unknown, which is seen by a few, dropped her to her death somewhere near the scene of the incident.
"I see…yes…we'll let you know if we ever discover her body…yes…thank you, Touyama."
"Dan-sensei…"
"I know, Katagiri…the Unknown attacks are getting frequent and that they are starting to attack more randomly when they first attacked the survivors of the Akatsuki Ferry survivors…and even some within DDS…we must tighten our security and ensure our students are not harmed at any costs…"
"Yes…"
At the Metropolitan Police Department, Tomoyo was watching the news and is alarmed by what she saw and called Team G3 and her scientist team, asking for the progress of the G3-X suit, in which she was told that they are 85% complete and that they cannot rush it, which she realized that she has to be patient, just as Fuu is undergoing rehabilitation as she is 88% recovered and is needed to regain control over her leg movements. Though able to walk, Fuu is needed to regain her jumping and running abilities, which slowly showed that she is halfway to completion.
-x-
At the Renjou house, later that night, Ryu is introduced by Kyuu to Mrs. Renjou and there Ryu gives out hinted reasons for wanting to live with the Renjou's telling them that he is living in a "prison" and reveals that Yurie is not his real mother.
"That's right…the woman you saw at DDS fetching me is not my mother at all, just a figurehead so she can monitor my movements when I'm with you…and no matter how hard I try, she always followed me…that's why when that Spider Unknown attacked you, she tried to pull me away so that you'll be killed off…and since she has no idea about this place…I think I should stay here until that time comes…"
"That time comes…?"
At Kyuu's queries, Ryu then told them that when the right time comes, he will tell the whole truth himself. While Kyuu is surprised by these revelations, Mrs. Renjou accepted Ryu's request without question and Ryu is overjoyed, and both Ryu and Kyuu left to buy vegetables at the market as she told the boys she would celebrate a new "member" in the family.
"Really…?"
"Yes…why not? My son has been all alone…so maybe having an extra member of this family doesn't sound bad…so welcome to the Renjou house, Ryu."
"Yahoo! I got a housemate!"
"Th-thank you, Mrs. Renjou…thank you…!"
"Now let's have dinner to celebrate your arrival…you two buy vegetables at the market…"
"Ehh? This time of the night?"
"I wouldn't mind it, Kyuu…"
-x-
The next day, Kyuu and Ryu are on their way back to the house after going out to by bread at the nearby bakery, both are chatting along, but Ryu is mentally bothered by what he discovered about Kyuu defeating an Unknown by himself as well as briefly seeing the "Agito" belt that materialized around Kyuu's waist, but decided not to bring out that topic as he is unsure of himself.
"Kyuu…are you really an Agito…? If so…what would happen if the MPD initiated their "Capture AGITO"…? That would put you in danger…but what would happen if you meet up with the first Agito…and the green-scaled, horned version the other Agito…? I fear this might put strain on your mother and Class Q, along with DDS should they discover this. I also wonder what if you indeed become an Agito without warning…"
As Kyuu talks about how cool Class K is with their musical talents, he saw several people lining outside an electronics store as the two glanced at the display TV, they saw several policemen standing around four corpses and he recognized them as Class K, in their school uniforms, sprawled at the ground, shocking them.
"Kyuu…aren't they…?"
"No doubt about it…those school uniforms…they're from Sakuragaoka High…and the girl in the middle…it's Tsumugi…they're Class K…! This is bad…come on…we need to head for DDS!"
"Got it!"
The two Class Q members rushed home and after dropping off the breads, they rushed towards DDS to get confirmation about what they saw.
-x-
At DDS, Kyuu and Ryu are met with shocking eyes coming from Class A, M and the rest of Class Q, with Nanami giving grim look and confirms that they got word that Class K are found murdered and with Hongou coming along, the three DDS sections head for Tokyo Bay where Class K's corpses are found by dock workers.
Kyuu: "This can't be happening…Class K is talented…as detectives and musicians…they can't die a meaningless death…I won't believe this…I won't…! This is just a nightmare!"
Megumi: "Kyuu…"
Sabnurumarou: "Hah…you just want to spent those quartet on a date…"
Kyuu (grabbing Saburumarou by his collar): "WHAT DID YOU SAY, YOU BASTARD?"
Ryu: "Kyuu…calm down!"
Kinta: "That's enough!"
Yukihira: "Saburumarou…will you shut the hell up?"
"Everyone…please calm down…"
"We will know once we get there…"
Nanami and Hongou's urging has the two DDS sections calm down and silence covered the van, while behind them are two motorcycles where Hikaru and Umi are riding and driving, both are in a state of disbelief on what they heard, and opted to see this with their own eyes that Class K is indeed the victims killed or not.
-x-
Within 15 minutes they arrived at the scene, and the moment they approached the corpses that were found, the DDS students are greeted with a gruesome sight, where Megumi shrieks out aloud while Kyuu covers her with his body at the gruesome sight, while Kuniko tries not to faint; Yukihira was horrified, while Umi and Hikaru glanced at each other, guessing that this is the work of an Unknown. Three of the Class K members, Yui, Ritsu and Mio, are laid on the ground, with their heads appeared to have been "exploded" while Tsumugi body is intact though she had a huge hole on her chest, indicating that something "punched" her, resulting in a missing heart.
"N-no way…"
"KKKYYYYAAAHHHH!"
"N-no…Class K…dead…"
"But…Tsumugi Kotobuki's body is intact…but her chest…"
Kazuma vomited while Kinta tried to look away, while Ryu is horrified at what he saw, while the rest of Class A grimaced at the gruesome sight. Umi and Hikaru clenched their fists as they felt that Class K died in a violent death. They mentally vowed to get their hands on whoever did this to them.
"HHHHUUUWWWAAARRRGGGHHH!"
"Easy, Kazuma…easy…"
"Who could have done this to them…? If this is the work of the Unknown…Class K suffered a violent death…"
"Umi…"
"I know, Hikaru…the Unknown did this…but why the rest of Class K…?"
Nanami and Hongou could only stare in emotionless expressions since as DDS instructors they must teach their students not to let a sight like this affect their performances as detectives.
"Everyone…we'd better start working and determine the cause of their deaths…"
Yukihira led Class A in checking the three Class K members and determined that their heads were indeed blown off but found no evidence of gunshot or explosive residue, while Class Q checks on Tsumugi and the two leaders went to the two instructors to give their thoughts.
Yukihira: "Sirs…Akiyama, Hirasawa and Tainaka's heads were blown off, but there are no traces of gunshot or other compound residues…but I can't discern what caused this to happen…"
Kyuu: "Tsumugi's heart was ripped from her chest, which caused her to bleed to death…I'm absolutely sure…this is the work of an Unknown…only they can do something like this…"
Class M stepped forward and supported Kyuu's claim, though they wondered why the rest of Class K are dragged in since only Tsumugi has an Agito seed, and while a debate is made, no one is aware that someone is watching them from behind the scene.
-x-
Outside, the Overlord of Darkness is smirking at the scene, pleased with the developments as he eyes Kyuu and Ryu, recalling that he has formed an alliance with Pluto with the promise of getting his seeds back as long as he leaves Kyuu and Ryu alone for the time being. Though he isn't amendable at first, he consented to Anubis' offer after the "goodwill gesture" he received when Class M was brought in by Anubis and settled for that for now after being assured that Pluto will aid him in searching for more Agito seed carriers.
"Though I wonder why I allowed myself to ally with these weak humans…I guess this is fine after they showed to me their resources in finding the seed carriers quite faster when my emissaries couldn't…"
- - - FLASHBACK - - -
A flashback scene shows that Class K left Sakuragaoka High so they can atend a part-time job, and when the night is set they left and are heading to Tsumugi's house to have an overnight stay, but along the way Anubis shows up and waves a pendant, slowly hypnotizing the quartet and motions them to follow him towards Tokyo Bay inside an abandoned warehouse where the Overlord of Darkness, Kelberos, Kaori and the Bat Lord are waiting.
"Here you are, my dear Overlord of Darkness…as promised…an Agito seed carrier…and three sacrifices to your liking…you may scan one of them if you wished to…they are yours in your disposal…feel free to do whatever you wish on them…"
"How thoughtful of you…I guess you humans are not as useless as I thought at first…"
"More than meets the eye…"
It is then showed that the Overlord accepted Pluto's terms that they will aid him in finding the Agito carriers as long as he leaves Ryu and Kyuu alone for the time being, which Anubis implies that they have plans for Kyuu and that his Agito seed will be useful in the coming days. While the Overlord is not quite receptive of this claim, he nevertheless accepts as long as it would help put away Agito and Gills.
"Very well…just make sure he won't get in my way…and see to it that you use that boy to deal with Agito and Gills…"
"As you wish…"
The Overlord then approaches Tsumugi, sensing her Agito seed and jabbed his hand through her chest, pulling her heart out and severed it from her body, slowly killing her while extracting the seed from the severed heart. He then asks Anubis and Kelberos what to do with the rest and they said he can do what he wishes with them.
"Really, then…thank you…"
With this, he ordered the Bat Lord to dispose of them which the Lord uses his sonic wave and causes Class K get killed, their heads exploded and slumped to the ground laying alongside Tsumugi, who is now dead. Pluto then left as the overlord stayed behind.
- - - END FLASHBACK - - -
Back at the present, as the four corpses are being taken away, Kinta found a box with a note attached, addressed to Ryu, and when Ryu he opened the box, he finds a plant, the same as the one Anubis brought at the hospital days ago, loaded inside the box. As the others are baffled, Ryu is livid and threw the plant to the ground, angered and worried, sensing that Pluto is doing this and is murdering anyone within DDS just to "persuade" him into coming back to Pluto's side.
"Blast you…are you intent on making me comeback to your side? I won't give in to you…and I'll make sure you rot in prison!"

Okay...a new year with a horrifying surprise. I know...why kill off Class K when they have potential to advance further into the story arcs? Well here are the reasons why:
a) The K-ON casts are really slated to appear only in the violin arc and nothing more
b) When i was thinking of what to do with them once that arc is over, I thought of giving them sporadical appearances in future chapters from time to time, but in the end I realized that they have no more places to be filled since after reading the raw manga there are no other plots I could think of, even though it took me the entire month of last December to cook up a plot
c) When I first decided to have Tsumugi killed off, I realized that this would also kil off the others in an emotional way, so I decided to have Ritsu, Yui and Mio share Tsumugi's fate, as well as to show to you readers how much of a threat Pluto and the Lords can be after forming an alliance. Since Tsumugi is intended to be killed off due to her having an Agito seed, I couldn't think of anything else on what to do with the others, so here they are..the Bat Lord killed them off, as well as for Anubis and Kelberos to torment Ryu into returning to Pluto.
You also notice that I posted a new opening and ending song, which also means that there are things for you to watch out for:
a) Pluto will become more bold in their operations and to get Ryu back to their "graces", which Ryu will no doubt resist them.
b) Fuu will be coming back after more than 15 chapters of absence. Class M will be completed once more.
c) Speaking of Fuu, expect her to mkae more action as she will be slated to don a new, upgraded battle suit in the upcoming chapters.
d) Hikaru will also sport a new "power up" within her Agito form.
e) I will be bringing in more characters from various series CLAMP, as well as a set of new group villains that will face the DDS students in the upcoming chapters.
f) The DDSunrise, which is seen in episodes 44 and 45 of the anime, will be the last arc that I will bring to the fic, as after that I will be bringing in the future arcs STRAIGHT from the DSQ manga.
Also, the song, "Take The Wave" is not only a catchy song, but the theme also shows Ryu taking the chance to bolt away from Pluto, knowing the risks involved, while Pluto is going to great lengths just to get Ryu back to their clutches.
Preview:
Fuu Hououji is back…and this time she takes center stage as she makes a comeback, testing the newly upgraded battle suit – the G3-X! But expect Kojima to counter Fuu's new weapon as he makes his own weapon to humiliate her and to take back the position as the MPD's official weapon against the Lords…
