Seeds Of Agito

As Class Q arrived at Tokyo after solving the Hitobashiba Valley double murder case, they are greeted with G3-X carrying the dying Umi and as they are scrambling to keep her alive until reaching the hospital. Here you'll see what her fate would be should she reached the hospital on time.

Also, this chapter will introduce a new set of villains that will put our heroes in a heap of trouble…since both Pluto and the Lords are still active in attacking their potential victims…


The scene shifts back to G3-X as she is slowly being overwhelmed by the Firefly Lord after continuously blocking the fireball attacks that were meant for Umi, and she is starting to feel the pressure as she is starting to get weak from the blasts and soon she got a call from Minoru an told her of the suit's situation.

"Fuu…you'd better stop being a target range board…the blasts are taking its toll on your battery pack…a few more hits and you'll be drained dry! You've got to fight back or else you'll be roasted and toasted! You're not meant to be a microwave condiment…!"

Thinking fast, she took out her magnum pistol and then inserted the rocket launcher and fired away making a direct hit and the Firefly Lord was dazed enough to cause him to retreat. With the Lord escaping, the bus that came from Hitobashiba Valley arrived just as G3-X checked on Umi. Seeing the bus arriving, she carries Umi in her arms and went for the bus as she stood in front, just as the bus stopped.

"What the…?"

"Guys…look!"

"It's G3-X!"

"Hey…someone's hurt!"

Seeing G3-X, Kyuu alighted and is shocked to see Umi's injured state just as G3-X boarded the bus.

"Oh no…it's Umi!"

"What?"

"Darn it…it looked like she suffered from major injuries…!"

"Quick…let's apply first aid…DDS-style!"

"Right!"

As Class Q began to apply first aid methods to the comatose Umi, G3-X asked the driver to head for the nearest hospital within Tokyo, which the bus driver agreed to as he recognized G3-X from the newspapers about being the official weapon user of the Metropolitan Police Department.

The driver told the other passengers about the sudden detour but they told the driver it is okay, understanding the dire emergency and so the bus began to drive away after G3-X got off and boarded the G-Chaser and went in front of the bus, activating its siren so it would pave way for emergency traffic so they could gain traffic-free routes.

119: Sōsei-ki no ARK

Cephiro…

At the Pillar, Clef and other mage allies are having a meeting on what to do with their discovery several months ago, as well as to figure out if Ascot has found anything that would help sort out what is happening at Tokyo as they haven't heard from him for a few months. Among the discussions are:

- The artifact from a cave in Cephiro, the Alter Ring belt, has been missing since the three Magic Knights returned to face off a new enemy who are trying to conquer, but are repulsed, and that the fake Zagato casts a spell which the three Magic Knights won't be able to return here;

- Learning that Hikaru has the possession of the Alter Ring, and that she is using it;

- The Overlord of Darkness, the feared magician in all of Cephiro, is spotted on Earth, currently in Tokyo causing mass murders on selected humans;

- Hikaru and Umi appeared to have acquired mystical powers but are fighting against each other as seen in a magical image where the two are fighting at the Tokyo Tower several weeks ago

Clef is talking to Ferio, Presea, Caldina, Rafarga, and other mages of Cephiro when they are considering using their combined magic to bring the Magic Knights and the Overlord of Darkness in Cephiro so that they could all, along with the Magic Knights, defeat him, but then a strange light glowed and a portal appeared where Ascot is sent here, unconscious but alive, though most of his injuries are still there.

"What the…?"

"That light…"

"It's Ascot!"

As everyone checks on their unconscious comrade, they found a strange gem attached around his neckline like a necklace and clef took it and observed it. Using magic, a magical recording materialized and everyone glanced at the person who appeared, who turn out to e the Overlord of Light, telling them his message aimed at all of the mages of Cephiro.

"Greetings, everyone…I know you don't know me…but I will tell you this…I am the Overlord of Light…in which I am the "other half" of the Overlord of Darkness. I assume that you know that the feared Overlord of Darkness is causing trouble at the world of the Magic Knights, which they called it "Earth"…and right now I am opposing him with all of my abilities. He intends to re-absorb me and use my magic to cause more trouble, so in order to prevent that from happening, I dispersed my "seeds" to every chosen humans…and among them are the two Magic Knights…one of them having the mystical Alter Ring…for now I am planning to meet with them and there we can work on defeating him…I know you sent Ascot here because you saw the two Magic Knights fighting against each other…fear not…they have patched up their misunderstandings and are allies once again…for now it would be best not to come here for now…leave everything to me and I promise you my evil counterpart will be stopped. For now see to it that Ascot is treated for his injuries…"

Clef and the rest are amazed by this and though the other mages are in doubt but Clef told them that they should trust the Overlord of Light for now and they should work on what to do next.

Near the bridge where the exit border of Tokyo is located, Hikaru woke up and realized that she was knocked out and is back to normal, wondering what happened until she recalled about her fight with the Rhino Lord and Umi, which she raced back to the scene of the battle where several police cars and a fire truck are there, dousing the flaming gas truck and there the Class M leader approached the officer in charge and showed him her DDS handbook, which the officer stood in attention though she told him not to be modest.

"I'm from Dan Detective School…my name is Hikaru Shidou…"

"Ah…DDS…! That's the famous detective School! What can I do for you?"

"I'm looking for a girl…here's the picture…her name is Umi Ryuuzaki…her life is in danger…I believe she suffered from major injuries…can you help me find her…?"

"Okay…we will help…"

Heeding her call, the officer asked for volunteers to help Hikaru search for Umi, and they all searched within the perimeter to find Umi, but after spending 15-20 minutes, her body has not been found, and the redhead was visibly distraught about this, and the officer assured to her that his men are doing everything they could to find her. By then her cellphone rang and there Fuu's voice spoke.

"Hikaru…it's me…Fuu…"

"Fuu! I'm in a bit of a problem here…Umi's…"

"I found her…we're inside the Tokyo Medical Center…the doctors are working on her right now…can you come here at once?"

"I'm on my way!"

Hearing the news, Hikaru then thanked the officer and then boarded her Ducati motorcycle and speeds away heading for the Tokyo Medical Center which is 30 minutes away from here, and prayed that Umi is safe and out of danger, assuming that she suffered only non-life threatening injuries, but the thought of the exploding gas truck gave her the shivers, and wondered if the damage has gotten greater than she thought of.

The scene then shifts to an unspecified area within Tokyo, where a huge building is seen and it resembles a VERY LARGE research facility that resembles the one that was invaded by the Ant Lords several months ago, though this one is much larger (see chapters 96-102). Unlike the one where the late Risa Fumaki is head, this large facility has very few guards there and that only several CCTVs are attached, making it looked like the facility won't be breached.

The scene shifts to the main gate of the facility where a signboard is attached which says "ARK CORPORATION", and Naoto Kirihara arrived, and the gates slid sideways, opening as Naoto passes by without stopping. As he entered, Naoto is greeted by a woman in her late 30's, sitting on a wheelchair and is smiling at him, seeing that he is in "high spirits".

"Hello, Naoto…I see that you have completed your task…"

"Yes, ma'am…Umi Ryuuzaki is taken care of…I have avenged Hinata Asahi's death…"

"Good…you may go back to your quarters now…"

As Naoto heads inside the facility, the woman just smiled as she uses her hands to operate the wheelchair by remote controlled joystick. She is identified as Akiko Okuhara, and she is the CEO of ARK Corporation. A flashback scene is shown that she is also the one who set up the research Facility where children with "special gifts" are kept, and are being used as a way to determine which of the selected few would be added to her "newest recruit to ARK's roster".

However, her plans suffered a blow and setback after the Ant Lords killed the children, and that Risa Fumaki is among those killed. Moreover, she is dismayed that the G4 exo-suit was confiscated by Team G3 before she had the chance to send her agents to retrieve it, but then she had to let it go, knowing that this would put ARK into conflict with the law enforcement. Nevertheless she wasn't discouraged and instead pinned the blame on three teenagers who foiled her plans by obstructing Fumaki's work.

"Those three girls…they may be a threat on the same level as THAT man…nevertheless, the blue-haired girl is taken care of…now that leaves two more…and it may be a matter of time before THAT man makes his way here…I must be prepared in case he chose to end his "emissaries" here…it's a pity that the blueprints of the G4 plans have been confiscated…we may have use for them to make mass productions…but now we have bigger problems to face…"

The scene shifts inside the ARK facility where Naoto goes inside his quarters while Akiko went to the conference room where two of her trusted employees approached her and told her about the current situation in Tokyo, which she finds it interesting, but deep inside there's a bit of apprehension knowing that one day a confrontation is imminent and inevitable. Her thoughts are shown about the Lords making their way here with the Overlord of Darkness standing outside, overseeing everything.

"That man…I do not know what his agendas are…but his actions are getting in my way…I mustn't let him kill those I see potential in my work…if we could locate those…"chosen ones"…we could strengthen our research…and we would become stronger…I must make my move or all will be lost…"

As she snapped back to reality, she told her two subordinates to assemble everyone here as well as to bring to her the data she wanted. Nodding the two subordinates left and after some five minutes all are assembled and stood in line, with Akiko pleased with the current line-up and she moved her wheelchair across and eyed each of her "charges" as she glances at them, noting each of their abilities.

- Kyojiro Mikuriya

- Hikitae

- Mariko

- Sakaguchi

- Mikumo

As they all stood still, one of Akiko's assistants came and submitted to her the data she asked for and read them, which her thoughts have indeed been proved – Class M of Dan Detective School is a more dangerous threat than the Lords themselves, with her eyes narrowing towards the picture of Hikaru and Fuu.

"Good…everyone…here are the pictures of the two persons I deem them a threat…one of the three is already been dealt with…so now you must focus on finding and eliminating these remaining targets. Here are their data and pictures…make sure you do not forget them…"

The five subordinates standing before her were given glimpses of Hikaru and Fuu, instructing them to do something about them. Thanks to the computers that linked Fumaki's facility and Akiko's, she learned about Fuu's identity as G3-X, though she learned about Hikaru's identity as Agito. This is because Akiko possesses the ability of precognition, thus she is able to find out about her and her Agito powers.

"The redhead…so she is the one who is Agito…she is a bigger threat…therefore she MUST be eliminated…or else my plans will be ruined…"

"Director…I do have a suggestion about this matter…"

"Really, Mikumo…? Which is…?"

"Why not allow me to find them…and let me take control of them…? I succeeded in controlling Naoto Kirihira…so why not one of the two…? Fuu Hououji is an easy target…we could use her to capture this Hikaru Shidou…and kill her while she is unaware…that way we won't have problems having her becoming Agito…"

Akiko is pleased that Mikumo's suggestion, and is confident her subordinate would pull off his plan as he possesses mind control ability, just as he demonstrated it by controlling Naoto Kirihira into attacking Umi. Since he was unable to maintain control over Naoya because of his strong will and similar mental power, Mikumo is forced to compel Naoto to kill his elder brother, which he succeeded.

Now that their plans are set, they are about to put their plans in motion as they intend to eliminate Class M, with Umi incapacitated, Fu and Hikaru are the only ones standing in their way, and then they intend to eliminate Dan Detective School, seeing and deeming them as a threat as well.

To Be Continued…


Sorry, if Umi's fate has not yet been clarified in this chapter, but at least she is taken to a hospital and Hikaru is on her way there to see if she would live or die…

Ascot is taken back to Cephiro to recuperate, though I doubt Clef would send him back there after the message from the Overlord of Light assuring Clef and the mages that everything is under control. But that doesn't mean they'll do nothing but watch. They'll pop in anytime soon…

And finally, the antagonists from the anime, Night Head Genesis finally appeared, and the bad guys from ARK Corporation are setting their sights on Hikaru and Fuu, deeming them as threats and intended to eliminate them, and are making DDS among their hit list. Expect them to cause mayhem sometime soon…
