Seeds Of Agito
The reason behind G4's creation will slowly be told here while Risa Fumaki's ulterior motive will be shown here as Fuu and Shiro will also have a clash of their own. However Class Q will slowly be dragged into this mess once Megumi gets unwillingly involved.
-x-
Back at the scene of the battle, G3-X could only look up as did Agito when the scene shifts to the helicopter and it shows that Risa Fumaki is there with a few soldiers and an armored person that appeared to be an exact duplicate of the G3-X suit, only this time the color scheme is black and on the left shoulder armor a mark is engraved which says "G4". As Fumaki nodded, G4 jumps out of the chopper and landed onto a pair of Ant Lords, crushing their heads with its armored foot which killed them on the spot and then began to fight off the other Ant Lords.
Inside the G3 Trailer, Team G3 was surprised to see this and Icchan called Tomoyo on the telephone to inform her of the current situation while Hotoku and Minoru glanced at each other, slowly deducing what is happening and then turned towards Icchan. They told him that it is none other than Risa Fumaki who play a hand in this as she is the only one who is the last to see the designs of G3 and G3-X suit's blueprint designs ,and Icchan himself slowly acknowledges his disbelief.
"It looks like Fumaki got close to us just to get some info on the G3-X design…"
"But why…?"
"It's my fault…I took my eye off for a moment and she must've secretly made copies of G3-X's designs and then left. It may have ben that she secretly used the Xerox machine to make a copy and returned the original blueprints to us without us knowing…"
"That sneaky fox…"
At the pier, G3-X is fending off the Ant Lords while G4 is doing the same, showing that the mysterious user is holding off on its own until the soldier inside the helicopter threw out what appeared to be a shoulder-mounted rocket launcher and G4 caught it, and took out as wire which G4 then connected it onto the belt and then fired four of its missiles at the swam of Ant Lords, killing about 8 of them in one blow. This caused the other Lords to flee leaving G3-x and Agito watching the mysterious entrant as G4's helmet is removed, and revealed to be a man…who turn out to be Shiro Mizuki.
"What…? You're that guy from the research facility!"
A car arrived and parked, and out came Tomoyo Daidouji, who is not pleased at what she just saw, and there the helicopter landed and Risa Fumaki came out, and a stare off ensued.
"Risa Fumaki…!"
"Ah, Daidouji…we haven't seen each other for a short while…how do you like my newest creation…?"
"First a research facility for children with special gifts that has little protection from the Unknown and now ripping off the MPDF's G3-X…"
"Ripping off…? That's how you show your thanks for helping you…?"
"Let's talk somewhere else…"
"Yes…come with me…"

99: Purojekuto G4 no part 4
The scene shifts to where Fuu and Team G3 thought they'd never expect to see…that is none other than the research facility where the Ant Lords first attacked that left several dead in its wake. After nearly three months the place is relatively the same, except that it has been converted into a partially made factory where the G4 suit is created, and a scene zooms to a room where scientists are working on creating a second G4 suit but are still awaiting the arrival of the necessary "ingredients" (parts) needed to commence working on the second G4 suit. As Tomoyo came, she is greeted by Fumaki at the lobby area where a soldier is guarding the area professionally.
"Hello, Daidouji…like the new and improved research facility? Looks brand new, don't you think?"
"Save me the false pleasantry, you witch! I figured it out already…you wanted to get inside the G3 Trailer and looked at the designs of the G3-X suit so that with no one looking you could copy the blueprint…then you quit all of the sudden and then use the time to craft a new suit for personal use…well let me tell you this! The exo-suit is not a toy to play with! We're doing this to stop those Unknown! Aren't you ashamed? Those children were senselessly killed and you didn't guard it well! You should know that ordinary guns are no match for those supernatural creatures…!"
"Which is why, my dear, I made the G4 suit…to combat those Unknown. And "personal use" you say…? Please…we're not terrorists. If we intend to do that…we wouldn't have come to your aid. And thanks to that…we got government funding to create more…"
"What…? "Create more"…? What are you planning to do…?"
"Nothing megalomaniacal…since you showed to me your plans…I'll return you the favor…please come with me…I'll show you how we modified the existing designs and created a new one…"
-x-
At the other side of the lobby, Fuu is standing at the balcony area watching several soldiers and scientists roaming around, and she is still in disbelief about what happened several minutes ago. Someone created an exo-suit based on the G3 System and now someone is using it and dubbed himself "G4". For now she is at ease that the G4 suit is used to combat the Lords, and that is enough for now. By then, Shiro Mizuki came and Fuu confronted him, offering her gratitude.
"Umm…thank you for your help back there…I appreciate it…"
"No problem…I myself am impressed…a beauty like you…so young that you even managed to use the G3-X suit well…but you should be careful…that exo-suit you're using is not a toy…"
"I know…and I've been using it for the past several months…"
"I do hope that we won't meet as opposing ones…for I will be the one to defeat those Unknown…for it is my destiny to meet death…for death will the answer to meet up with fate…"
"Eh?"
Shiro then left as Fuu blinked her eyes at what she just heard, and yet she did nothing except wait for Tomoyo to come out. She is quite apprehensive at what she heard from Team G3 about the G4 suit being based on the designs of G3 and G3-X suits, and though she has so far seen the user as benevolent, she couldn't help but feel uneasy with what Fumaki said earlier about being the G4 being the "answer" to defeating the Lords without relying on Agito.
-x-
Further inside the research facility, Fumaki led Tomoyo to the factory area where she showed the machines used to create the G4 suit, and Tomoyo was both impressed and agitated that Fumaki used underhanded tactics in acquiring the designs, but then she saw the computers that showed the computerized data that led to the creation of the suit, and the helmet where she saw a computerized sketch of an AI chip that is inserted there.
"Impressed, Daidouji? You should be…"
But Tomoyo paid no attention as she typed the command prompt and soon got a printout of the G4 suit's helmet and the AI chip and there she was horrified at what she read and glared at Fumaki while yelling at her.
"What the hell is this? You designed an AI chip inside the G4 suit…"
"So what? It will aid the user in dealing with the Unknown…"
"The AI chip…though would be a help on the user…the AI interface would pose a very serious risk on the operator. The AI's calculations, though perfect, requires precise coordination and synchronization with the suit motor functions. To this end, only an operator with clear consciousness can operate it without being physically taxing on the body! That's why I chose not to include it on the G3-X!"
"You're so dull…without that AI chip your precious flower wouldn't last for 15 minutes against a horde of Unknown…"
"Are you intending to sacrifice the life of your subordinates?"
"Sometimes a life must be sacrificed to get the job done…"
"You…!"
A soldier stood in front of Tomoyo and restrained her before Fumaki said her next piece.
"You need not worry…I'm in the process of finding a method to lessen the AI chip's demands on the user's mind. Once that is solved, I'll make more suits of the G4…"
"What…? You intend to mass-produce the suit? You don't even know the suit's limits!"
"Why need the limit when you have unlimited possibilities? For now Shiro Mizuki is the first…and so far he has been able to withstand the AI chip's power…but once we overcome that obstacle…we will screen for more chosen ones…who will get to wear the G4 suits once we mass-produced it…and until then…feel free to rely on your obsolete G3-X. I will invite you to witness the birth of the G4 army when we succeeded…you may escort Ms. Daidouji out of the facility…"
"Yes, ma'am…"
"Oh…one more thing, Daidouji…"
"What…?"
"If you really are dependent on that Unknown…the one you called Agito…better put him in your care…for once the G4 suits are in place…we will hunt him down…there are no good Unknown…just dead ones…unless you turn him over to us so we can extract data from him so we could further strengthen our G4 suit-proposal…"
"You won't lay a finger on him…he's been a valuable asset to us…and even if he's an Unknown…or an advanced human…we'll never hand him over to you…he is not a tool you can exploit…!"
"Advanced…human…? HA-HA-HA-HA-HA! How hilarious! Who do you think he is? Guyver? You're comparing him to a manga superhero? You're so childish, Daidouji!"
"Aty least he's helping us humans stop the Unknown! If you intend to capture and turn him into your experimental guinea pig, we'll stop you!"
"That's you prerogative…we will catch him in the end anyway…once the G4 suits are massed produced…you may show her out…"
And so the soldier escorted Tomoyo out of the building and she reluctantly left the facility, and five minutes later, Fuu was also led out, but to Tomoyo's surprise, Fuu was physically thrown out, and Tomoyo checks out on her as she was thrown to the ground.
"Fuu…are you alright…?"
"Those soldiers came and grabbed me by force and led me out…when I asked for an explanation…they said nothing…then they threw me out to the ground…"
"Fumaki did this to spite us…she intends to mass-produce the G4 suits…and the AI chips…"
"AI chips…? Wait…you mean the AI chip that was introduced along with the G3-X suit…? That's the chip that nearly controlled me before my duel with Kojima and his V-1 System!"
"Yes…and that's the reason why I chose not to include it…and that's how you beat Kojima using your own will…she included that chip in the G4 suit and intends to use it not only at her subordinate…but to other potential candidates…"
"Other subordinates…? And what…? Potential candidates? But that would put serious risks on them…"
"That's what I told her but she claims that she can solve it…but I'm sure she's bluffing…she knows nothing about the AI chip…and what the effects it would have on the user…she even brags about wiling to sacrifice the G4 user just to achieve her goals…we'll have to keep our guards up…and if they chose to tangle with us…we'll show her that we're not the kind to be messed around…"
"Tomoyo…"
"We'll have to inform Commissioner Eriol of this…she is serious about mass-producing the suits she made…"
"Somehow I doubt it…she doesn't have enough resources…"
"I wouldn't dismiss that…if she made that suit in a span of two months…then it's likely she has some financial backers…"
By then, Shiro Mizuki came and bowed to the two, which made the pair suspicious though he appeared to be sincere.
"My apologies for what happened just now…I'll see to it that they're to be sanctioned. Ms. Hououji…please come with me…I have something to show you…"
Reluctantly, Fuu went with him as she is curious as to what he intend to show her as she thinks this is a chance to see what the G4 suit is capable of and why Tomoyo told her that the suit is "dangerous" to anyone who uses it unless the problems are addressed.
-x-
Inside one of the laboratory rooms, Fuu was a bit foreboded when shown the cryogenically stored bodies of several men, and there Shiro revealed that these are the frozen corpses of his fellow soldiers, who were among the firsts to try out the G4 suit. Fuu stared wide-eyed at seeing this and now started to understand why the G4 suit is deemed dangerous.
"You mean…those are the ones who first tested out that suit..?"
"Yes…the one who were equipped with the suit…after about five minutes each one who tried it died…and it's likely that someday I'll be like them…"
"Then…you should discontinue using it…"
"True…when they worn it they lost their lives in a span of several minutes…and the G4 suit…the G4 System…like a broken puppet…it stopped moving…but soon after..it began moving again…almost as it had a will of its own…"
"Wait…that must be the AI chip installed on the suit's helmet…"
"So you've figured it out…"
"…"
"Several minutes ago, you thanked me…you rejoice in the fact that your own life was saved…you cling to life…but…if you're too focused on staying alive…you cannot fight to your full potential."
"What did you say…?"
"Before…I think of staying alive…but now I'm a different person…whereas you fight on staying alive…I fight now to embrace death."
"Do you know what you're saying? Doesn't life and living mean to you?"
"You should know that this is our means to reach our goals…"
"Unfortunately I don't share your view. I thank you again for helping me back there..but I don't think I could get along with you people…I'm taking my leave…and please think about it…the more you use the G4 System while that AI chip is in there…you'll be attracting death faster…and I don't think you might find a successor to your "death"…good day, Mr. Mizuki."
Fuu bowed and left, while Shiro just smirked at seeing her in that kind of mindset. Fumaki came and asked Shiro what they discussed, and upon hearing it she just giggled at Fuu's simplicity.
-x-
A few hours later, at DDS, Kinta was at the parking lot with Kazuma and Ryu, where he told them what information he got from his dad, Superintendent Touyama, about the so-called G4, which is an advanced version of the G3-X suit, and how it came to the Tokyo Pier and dealt with the Unknown, which Ryu blinked his eyes as he recalled that Kyuu, Megumi, and Sayaka are there.
"Really? Our friends are there…"
"I'll call them…"
Using his cellphone, Kazuma called Kyuu and there he got confirmation about him, and the other girls being saved, but when about this mysterious G4, Kyuu confirmed it and said that he, along with Megumi Sayaka and Hikaru, G4 appeared to be at odds with G3-X, and Kinta asked Kazuma to tell Kyuu to be careful. After that, the line was cut.
"So what you and Kyuu said is true…here…Kyuu sent me an e-mail picture on my laptop…"
Within a minute the mail was sent, and after opening it, they saw the picture of G4 and the three Class Q members were surprised to see what the G4 suit looked like, and they felt that something bad is about to happen, especially after Kinta mentioned that the G4 suit is based on the secretly stolen designs of the G3 and G3-X blueprints, and they wondered if a scenario like this were to happen but with other parties involved, such as Pluto.
-x-
Later that night, an abandoned building, also in a basement parking area, Rei is worried about Umi who is still unconscious yet her body seemed to have recovered and the cellular decay apparently ceased, as her Agito power seem to have countered the venom of the Ant Lord that struck her but she is quite weak to move on her own. Then she saw Rei sitting on the corner with a bowling pin spinning on its own with the boy staring at it…revealing that he also possesses a supernatural ability.
"Hey kid…how did you get here…? And how did I get here…"
"I have powers…moving things…though it's not as strong as yours…"
"Why is that Unknown after you…?"
"I don't know…but they seem to be targeting us children…we were orphaned and the people there took us in…gave us food and some education…but then those monsters came and killed everyone…but this I tell you…the people there are going to use our powers…for an
experiment…but I don't want to go back there…and I don't want to show myself…they might see me and make me go back there…the monsters might be there as well…"
"You won't…and I'll give you a place to stay…but promise me you'll attend a normal school…and not to use your powers unless defending yourself…"
"Really…?"
"It's a promise."
With that, Rei hugged Umi as he helped her get to her feet and they both slowly left the abandoned building and head for the Ryuuzaki mansion so she can get her bearings and to attend to Rei's need.
"Miss…there is someone I need to find…a girl quite younger than you…"
"Okay…I'll help you search for her…"
-x-
A few days later, Umi is back to normal and is now helping Rei in searching for Sayaka as she puts up a poster with Rei's picture on it, and soon Kyuu and Megumi saw the poster and called Umi, who then got word that Sayaka is staying at Kyuu's house and after talking on the phone, they agreed to meet up at the town square and there the two runaways are reunited. Megumi was there to facilitate their reunion while Kyuu and Umi watched from the sides.
However, Risa Fumaki happened to pass by there after seeing the posters and found the two so she got off the van and tried to "sweet talk" them into returning to the facility until noticing Megumi.
"Rei…Sayaka…I see that you're having hard times…come back with us…we'll help you get your lives back…"
"No…we won't go back!"
"I'm sorry…but we don't want to use our powers for experimentation…and those monsters might come back and take us…all of our fellow orphans are devoured…we don't want to end in that same fate…"
"Oh come on…we have solved that…and with G4 on our side we…wait…who are you…?"
"Megumi Minami…"
"Minami…? Wait…you're from the national Tokyo Institute, are you…? You're the one I heard…you have an amazing ability…to memorize anything…"
"How did you know about that…?"
A sinister smile formed in her lips as she glanced at Megumi and then at the two runaways, and this further gave her a malevolent decision on her part.
"Hmm…very well…Sayaka…Rei…are you sure you don't want to come back with us…?"
"No…"
"Very well…I give you your freedom…"
"Really…?"
"Wait…why are you letting us go so easily…no…Megumi…run! She wants you!"
"Eh?"
Without a second thought, Fumaki raised her hand and her soldiers came out and dragged Megumi in while she shoves the two runaways back, and this caused Kyuu and Umi to rush in but then one of the soldiers released a can of tear gas and the teens are disoriented, enabling the van to escape with Megumi in tow, screaming for help.

A major chapter you just read…and while the G4 suit's origin is shown, so is how it affected the user, Shiro Mizuki, whose new-found means to attain power has caused his ideals to develop a warped mindset…
And now Megumi is kidnapped…no doubt to be used as an experiment. Kyuu and Class Q will surely be pissed off…
Preview:
A stake out at the research facility to rescue Megumi…and Agito and G3 goes in to save her and this puts them in a confrontation with G4.
