Seeds of Agito

You are now going to read the multi-part arc where Hikaru will lead the rescue mission to save Umi and Fuu from the hands of ARK, in which the characters of the anime Night Head Genesis will be the opponents here.

The time now is 17:00, and the scene shifts to the building which houses the ARK research facility and there several employees are waiting at the parking entrance for the ambulance's arrival after getting word that it will arrive shortly. They all dressed as laboratory employees though they seemed to be more suited as hired goons than actual workers.

By then the ambulance arrived and the employees gathered at the rear of the ambulance where the still-comatose Umi is being wheeled out, followed by a mesmerized Fuu, with Mikumo and Sakaguchi following. They all entered the building just as the guards closed the gates so that no one else can see the kidnapped DDS students, despite the obvious fact that there are no outsiders at the moment.

125: Naitoheddo To no Taiketsu part 1

An hour later, inside the Ark Corporation Research Facility, its CEO, Akiko Okuhara, came after arriving from a secret business meeting with some influential people, and she is very pleased to see that her "people" have pulled off a splendid job. Naoto, Mikumo and Sakaguchi stood there before her and nodded in approval and acknowledgement as they presented Fuu, who remained under Mikumo's mental influence, while Sakaguchi showed to Akiko the comatose Umi, still hooked to a respirator and oxygen mask and tank.

"Well done, my faithful ones…well done…bring them inside… "

"Yes, boss…"

"What about the other one…?"

"Bring her inside as well…we may use her as a bargaining chip or have use work for us…"

"About the blue-haired girl…she is no threat right now given her now-paraplegic condition brought about by Naoto…"

"Which is good…but we have other concerns right now…"

As Akiko glances at the seemingly motionless- beauty of Class M, she ponders on what to do with her knowing she can be a threat to her agendas, and so is Hikaru, knowing that she is Agito, and thanks to Naoto, Umi is disabled so dealing with Agito should be easy. By then, Mikumo stepped forward and offered a suggestion.

"Why not we kill her later…I'm pretty sure her friend would eventually find these two…and how about we have our "servant", the one with explosive power, finish her off…?"

"Fear not, Mikumo…you're powers…as well as the powers of your comrades…will deal with her should she figure out this place…which I doubt it since you left no clues…"

ARK's CEO liked the idea of having Sakie finishing off Umi while she is still vulnerable so that she won't be a threat to them, however, someone came in with very disturbing news, and that person is Naji, who is also being controlled by Mikumo. Akiko saw Naji's face that looked very urgent and asked her why she came here in such a panicking state.

"Boss…my foresight ability tells me that tonight we'll be having a fight…someone will come here and attack us…"

"Who…? Is it the one called Agito?"

"I…can't be sure…my foresight ability that told me this is…vague at the moment…but I assure you that a fight would take place tonight…and it'll be a heavy one…"

Everyone glanced at Naji, and they know that her foresight ability is no joke and this made everyone feel uneasy, but then they calmed down after. Naji stated to them that a battle will erupt tonight, but Mikumo was confident enough to brush it off, thinking that Agito is coming, and Akiko told the rest to have their men ready for tonight, anticipating an invasion, though she felt that someone else may come here to present a threat to her.

Several hours later, the time now is 21:00, and the scene shifts outside ARK, where the G3 Trailer secretly parked where huge, thick bushes covered the vehicle so they won't be detected. The scene shifts inside the trailer where Team G3 is helping Hikaru in putting on the G3-X suit while Kobato and Ringo watches on, surprised at seeing G3-X up close. They've heard of it and saw it on TV, but in person…

"Wow…so what we saw on the TV news is true…"

"So that's how the G3-X is like…this is WAY BETTER than Robocop…"

"You're way suited in that role, Hikaru…"

"Eh-he-he-he…please…you're making me blush…"

"Hikaru…are you sure about this? These two J-Pop singers are going to help you?"

"Yup…and don't worry…they'll be under my watch…"

While Tomoyo is worried that the two J-Pop idols are physically involved, Hikaru assured to her that the two singers will be her responsibility and promised that they will come back, bringing Umi and Fuu with them. As Hikaru is all suited up, Tomoyo glanced at the two J-Pop idols, wondering why Hikaru had them involved, and made a mental note to ask her once the two Class M members are rescued.

"Really…what does those two singers have that made Hikaru agreed to accompanying her in this rescue mission…?"

By then G3-X is fully prepared and left the trailer with Kobato and Ringo accompanying her. By then Icchan was holding a notebook with the two singers' autographs signed and he is fawning over it, while Minoru and Hatoko glanced at them, until Masaharu Ogata came and confided to the two what he just discovered.

"Those two singers…their names are among those who survived the Akatsuki attack four years ago."

"What?"

"Seriously?"

Tomoyo heard this and is now getting baffled and worried, and she is mentally debating on whether to recall G3-X or not, seeing that the trio are nearing ARK's perimeters. The rescue mission is now underway and she is bracing herself for any eventuality.

The time now is 22:00, and G3-X is in position and after scanning the area, she then sneaked her way inside by secretly cutting the fence and is now inside the garage area, navigating her way through and looked around to see which way she should go, however, something unexpected appeared. Several armed guards showed up, all controlled by Mikumo, and opened fire, though it is obvious that their weapons (shotgun rifles) are no match for G3-x's armor.

"I wonder if this is the welcoming wagon…if the kidnappers of Fuu and Umi are there…why send low-level goons to greet me instead of something more threatening…like Pluto…? Ah, who cares…it's better like this as this would make the rescue more faster…!"

Not wasting time, G3-X makes quick work on her opponents and heads for the main building's entrance and as she is nearing it, the door opened where several more guards, all controlled by Mikumo, greeted the intruder and opened fire. Seeing that their bullets won't stop the armored intruder, the possessed guards simply lynched G3-X, grappling her but then she shoved them aside.

"Geez…these guys are more persistent…but then…I'm guessing that they're planning something BIG so they probably held them back so once I get into the "twilight zone", they'll greet me for real…fine…I'd better get this over with…hope Ringo and Kobato made their way in without attracting attention…"

Nearby, Ringo and Kobato watched the scene and decided to make their move.

"Looks like Hikaru has cleared us a path…"

"Then we'd better make use of it before we get spotted…"

As the two J-Pop singers sneaked their way around, they saw another building and decided to head there, which is the communication building and both realized what equipments are stored there and this would put their efforts in their favor, knowing there are speakers and devices placed.

"This is great…sound equipment and devices…just right for the job…!"

"At least we can sing without holding back…"

"Got that right…"

"Better open the door before someone sees us…"

Ringo tries to open the door but it was locked so she picked on the lock and they were in, where Kobato locked the door again so that no one else can come in. Fortunately no one saw them entered and they are now rummaging at the equipments that they could lay their hands on to get them activated so they can help Hikaru in defeating their opponents.

Outside the facility, the Sumeragi twins, Subaru and Hokuto, are hiding behind another thick bush to avoid being seen as they were already there before the G3 Trailer arrived. Hokuto began to chant a spell to render herself and Subaru invisible so that no one can see them. As they get past the vehicle, she stopped as she sensed something is approaching.

"There…this vehicle won't be seen or detected by the Lords…"

"Good work, Hokuto…"

"Wait…"

"What's wrong…"

"It's still far…but I can sense them coming…maybe about in five minutes…"

"Huh? "Them"?"

"An army…"

Subaru wondered what his twin sister meant about an "army" and slowly realized that what she meant is that a horde of Lords are coming here and now they must do something to stall them while Agito is trying to save her friends.

To Be Continued…


CLAMP characters vs. Night Head Genesis. That's unexpected, and unique in this arc. With Hikaru wearing the G3-X suit, how could she use her Agito powers without exposing her identity without compromising herself?

Worry not about Class Q…they will appear in later chapters of this arc…
