Seeds of Agito
In this chapter you get to see what condition awaits Umi while Fuu has problems of her own at the Metropolitan Police Department as Class Q heads for DDS to submit their report on their assignment at .

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 theTokyoMedicalCenter…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 96-100). 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 toARK'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.

120: Kutsujoku no Hi
About 30 minutes after receiving Fuu's call, Hikaru arrives at theTokyo GeneralHospitalafter navigating her way through the highway after a tedious situation in which she encountered a few Lords and Umi went missing until she learned of where she is taken. Random thoughts hit her as she wondered what condition Umi would be in after recalling the injuries her blue-haired friend received and she dreaded the worst possible scenario her friend would get into.
"Darn…what a day…We're supposed to search for survivors of the Akatsuki Ferry and we got ambushed by lots of Unknown…and now Umi's ended up in a hospital…thank goodness for the arrival of Fuu and Class Q…please…let Umi be safe…and I hope she doesn't end up in a critical condition…."
As she entered the hospital entrance she went straight towards the emergency room and there she finds Class Q and G3-X standing in front of the door, all are awaiting for the surgeon to come out and they all had worried looks on their faces, save for Fuu who is still clad in her battle suit and she approaches Hikaru and whispered to her to follow her towards the hallway.
"Hikaru…come with me…we have to talk…"
"How is Umi doing…?"
"Doctors are still patching her up..her injuries are a lot worse than the last time when she got run over by the crook's car…and I fear the worse…more than that…I got something to tell you about a certain someone from Cephiro…"
"From Cephiro?"
"I'll fill you in once we move away from here…"
At Fuu's urging, the two Class M members went towards the hallway and at a corner, G3-X told Hikaru about her meeting with Ascot and said that he is about to tell her something important when the Firefly Lord struck him down and after the Lord has fled she lost sight of him and the two Class M members are disturbed as to how and what Ascot is doing here on Earth.
"Seriously?Ascotended up here? When did he came?"
"I was about to ask him something about that when that Unknown attacked us…then a few more came and I got preoccupied…once they retreated, he was gone…"
"I see…I'm sure we'll see him again…"
"Yeah…and maybe he might help us solve this month-long caper…"
-x-
Meanwhile, amid the situation that they are in, Kyuu is still eyeing Ryu over his discovery about Ryu's connection to Pluto. Part of him is filled with doubt ad suspicion while the other part of him wants to trust him fully after hearing Ryu's declaration on breaking away from Pluto. Meanwhile Kinta called the MPD and told his dad that G3-X is with them, then he called DDS and informed Dan about their current whereabouts.
"Yeah, dad…that's what happened…"
"Alright…just be careful, son…"
"I will…"
Two minutes later…
"…I see…as soon as the doctors told you about Ryuuzaki's condition, report to DDS immediately and tell me everything about theHitobashibaValleycase…understood?"
(Class Q in unison): "YES, SIR!"
After several more minutes (about 20 minutes) of waiting, the door of the emergency room opened and the surgeon emerged, removing his surgical mask and hood, looking quite grim and Class Q braced themselves for the worse just as Class M arrived and they too are getting ready for the worse possible news.
"First off…Umi Ryuuzaki is out of danger…"
"Whew…"
"For now. But then the damage done to her is somewhat…severe."
"Severe…?"
"Aside from 2nd to 3rd degree burns, she suffered multiple fractures on both her arms and legs, both sides of her ribcages are also fractured, And the MOST hit…her spinal column is shattered…she is paralyzed from the waist down, and given the concussion on her head, she is now in a comatose state. Only time wilt el when she'll regain consciousness…and that's where the next worst case scenario comes in…what her reactions would be if she were to learn of her current condition…"
Class Q and M are both relieved, but stunned at what they just heard from the surgeon as they are sympathetic and concerned over Umi's current condition, and this was certainly a big blow to Class M and to Umi. This would surely mark Umi's end of her career as a DDS now she is paraplegic. As the nurses wheeled the hospital bed where the comatose Umi is laid, heading for the recovery room and then to be transferred to the Intensive Care Unit, Hikaru is seething at her friend's situation and this would no doubt be a problem on how to break the news to Umi's parents, knowing that it would send the Ryyuzaki parents into a frenzy.
"Darn…how will I tell Umi's parents about this…?"
Seeing that there is nothing she could do about it, G3-X told Hikaru she will be heading back to the Metropolitan Police Department to submit her report, and Hikaru nodded, and both Class M members went separate ways, while Class Q heads for Dan Detective School to report to Dan about the result of their investigation.

As G3-X boards her motorcycle, she is ready to head back to the MPD when she chanced upon a bank robbery in session and realized that she has to respond to the call, and thought that this would, at least, make up for being unable to help Umi when she was beaten up to the point of being paraplegic though she is unaware that Naoto Kirihira is the one who did this to her.
"Great…another situation…but at least this would help me loosen up some steam…"
As she entered the bank, she is greeted by a hail of gunfire from the robbers upon recognizing G3-X and she acted on impulse seeing a lot of people re there as she would anticipate the robbers resorting to a hostage situation. As the robbers continue to open fire, G3-X took out her submachine magnum gun she aimed for their legs and quickly disabled them all until the situation is contained.
As SWAT members arrived, they thanked G3-X for her help and she nodded as she left for the MPD, feeling slightly relieved though she has a rough day knowing the events that just transpired.
-x-
About thirty minutes later, at the MPD, Fuu, still in her G3-X suit, but minus the helmet, reported to the "higher-ups" about what happened and there she is told to be on stand by in case she is needed. Fuu is quite peeved that the "higher-ups" appeared less concerned about Umi's condition and seemingly did not recognized her accomplishments as a DDS student or her heroic act at foiling the bank robbery though Icchan and Tomoyo assured to her that her merits would be taken into consideration.
By then Kojima passed by and began to make degrading comments aimed at her, but then he began to provoke her by poking insults at Umi, which Fuu did take it well and grabbed him by his collar, looking ready to punch him out of his misery even though Kojima wasn't a bit intimidated and even dared Fuu to hit him.
"See…that's what would happen if women stick their pussies onto other business…particularly against the Unknown…now she's a paraplegic…and I'm sure that WOULD teach her a lesson…now she'll learn her lesson the HARD way…and I'm sure she'll think twice about butting in on men's business…"
"That's enough, Kojima…you already made my day bad enough…"
"If you want…I can set her up…"
"On what…?"
"I can have her join the paraplegic Olympics…though she'll have to wear panty-liners instead of diapers…since she can't even stand up to sit on the toilet bowl…that's something I'd like to see…"
"YOU CHAUVINISTIC PIG! I'LL THROTTLE YOU!"
"Come on…do it…I'd like to see you try…so that women are nothing but a set of pubic hairs to the MPD's face…! Come on…hit me! I'm begging you! Want to show the world that women are the pimple of this world…they're better off making baby's instead of strutting their hips and show their panties and butts…"
By then Icchan and Tomoyo grabbed Fuu and pacify her, and after a brief struggle, the Class M member glared at Kojima and she reluctantly did so and released her hold on Kojima as the trio left while Kojima stood there smirking, feeling good to insult a woman within the MPD, though he hoped that this would demote Fuu and make her vacate her position as the MPD weapon user.
-x-
Much later Team G3 was summoned by Inspector Kaho Mizuki and told them that they have visitors, who turn out to be the twin sisters of the Mihara family, Chise and Chiho, and their parents asked the MPD to provide them protection after learning that their daughters are being targeted by the Lords.
"…please…we beg you…protect our daughters…we'll pay you any amount…just protect our children…"
"Mr. and Mrs. Mihara…calm down…we will protect your children…but you must know…no amount of money can solve a problem like this…we are doing everything to ensure everyone's safety…Fuu…better put your helmet on…"
"Yes, sir…look out!"
However, their discussion was interrupted when the Deer Lord barges in and grabbed a gallon of water from a water dispenser and douses the two sisters wet and there he uses his electricity power from its antlers, electrocuting the two girls to death and Fuu went into action to stop the Lord, but the Lord touched the G3-X Suit and Fuu herself was grounded and the impact sends her crashing against a steel cabinet and has pinned down.
The Deer Lord then jabbed his fingers on the two girls' chests, then extracted their seeds and left, leaving the Mihara parents grieving while the police gives chase to the fleeing Deer Lord while others tried to lift the cabinet off a rattled, but weakened Fuu, as the electric shock from the Lord appeared to have drained the suit's battery pack, and Fuu had to wait tediously before she is set free from her "confinement".
To Be Continued…
What a bad day for our DDS heroes…Umi is now paraplegic and Fuu is unable to protect two young girls, who eventually got killed by the Deer Lord…
What will happen to Umi now? Will she be taken off from this fic or have her killed off…?
You decide, readers…
