Seeds of Agito
Hikaru is going to get into trouble as she gets to face an army of psychic fighters, and there she will be forced to decide on whether to use her Agito powers on them or not…
And a new army of Lords are crashing in…so expect a bloodbath to take place…
As the scene shifts back to G3-X, she is starting to feel the effects of the psychokinetic assaults from Naoto and slowly realized that he is the one who severely injured Umi and tried to reason with him, but to no avail as he ignored her pleas and kept on attacking her.
"Stop this…we should not be fighting…!"
"Death to those who oppose ARK!"
As the suit's damage reached 30%, Hikaru is pondering on whether to ditch the suit and change to Agito, she got startled as a powerful explosive blast struck her from behind, and the damage rises up to 35%, and when she turned around, she saw who did this: Sakie. She was also being mind-controlled into attacking G3-X and now Hikaru is facing a handicap.
"Great…another one…"
-x-
At the G3 Trailer, Team G3 saw this and are becoming aware of what ARK is capable of and are wondering what would happen if the Unknown were to target them seeing that they possess powers that may pose a threat to the Unknown. Icchan made a suggestion about if ARK were to fight alongside the MPD, they may have a chance to stop the Unknown, but Minoru pointed ot that ARK itself is corrupted and only fight for themselves.
Going back to G3-X, Hikaru needed to regroup and thought of something as she heads for the corner and both Naoto and Sakie coolly followed, walking slowly instead of running after her, confident that they can trap their prey. As they went to the corner, they saw G3-Xtrapped at a dead end and is standing still.
"You are trapped…"
"Now you die…!"
Naoto uses his psychokinesis to throttle G3-X around, and is enjoying every moment of it, but then G3-X started to fall apart and fell on the floor. As they check on it, they learned that it was a mannequin underneath the suit, and at that moment, Hikaru appeared from the curtain near the window and chopped the two on the back of their heads, knocking them out.
"Night-night."
As the two are out cold, she surveys the suit and sees that it can still fight, and by then Tomoyo arrived, seeing that she is unharmed and Tomoyo just witnessed what Naoto did and a thought struck the Class M leader and told Tomoyo her plan.
"What?"
"The suit can still help…you're the only one I can count on…I'll go find Umi and Fuu…and I can find them faster without attracting attention…the suit will only slow me down…"
"You…planned this all along…when you secretly told me to follow you here…"
"Sorry about that…"
"Alright…just be careful…"
Tomoyo reluctantly donned the G3-X suit while Hikaru went ahead to find where Umi and Fuu are and the two are now heading for separate directions: one to find the kidnapped girls, and the other to ward off the guards, as well as to flush out ARK's psychic weapons.

127: Naitoheddo To no Taiketsu part 3
About 10 minutes after Hikaru hands the G3-X suit to Tomoyo, Hikaru stealthily went around, encountering a few ARK lab employees and took them down without killing them and went ahead, coming across a stairs and went up, heading for the 2nd floor, feeling a bit irritated that the steps are so many and quite small, but it can't be helped. The ARK Research Facility is quite big.
"Good thing I was able to build up my stamina during my days as a Magic Knight…and before I became Agito…otherwise I'd be panting myself out with these so many stairs…I wonder how many floors there are in this blasted building…"
Upon reaching the 2nd floor, she was greeted by more hired guards and sighed in resignation, figuring out that there's no way she could turn back after climbing the stairs that would make her waste more energy. She opted to face them instead of going back down the ground floor.
"Better than going down and going up again…"
"Get her!"
"Let's beat her!"
"Kill her!"
"I say we rape her first before we kill her!"
"Yeah!"
The ex-Magic Knight of Fire rolled her eyes at hearing their battle cries and opted to ignore them and brace herself for more "workout" with the armed guards, seeing that they are armed with billy clubs and nothing else. Wagging her pointing finger in a taunting gesture, she provoked the guards into coming towards her.
"Come and get me, boys…"
Incorporating her fighting skills of aikido and her fighting skills as a Magic Knight, Hikaru was able to deal with the first line of guards and sends them falling down the stairs, and then did the same to the rest, knocking them down so she could get behind them and then took out a smoke pellet which the smoke disoriented them and the Class M leader did a jump kick on one of the guards and he collided with the others, and all of them were sent tumbling down the stairs.
"London Bridge is falling down…falling down…London Bridge is falling down…my fair gentlemen…hope you had a nice roll down the ground floor. Well, that takes care of that…time to go forward and find my friends…I hope nothing bad happened to them…and if they are…the big boss of this building will feel my cracking knuckles…"
As she takes her leave, she started to search every room to see if her two friends are hidden, but upon stumbling onto a room she found several children asleep on their beds and was quite peeved that the people here would exploit them for their selfish use, so she tried to wake them up but to no avail. They wouldn't budge, even as she shook them hard, but they wouldn't rouse.
"Great…I guess they've been sedated…"
By then a thought hit her as she recalled the events during the G-4 incident and she wondered if the Lords would come here to attack since the research facility that was once run by the late Risa Fumaki was attacked by the Ant Lords and killed several children there. She then pondered if that scenario several weeks ago would happen here.
"No way…the last thing I want to expect here is another bloodbath…Risa Fumaki's demise at the hands of those ant-like Unknown army is enough to make me skip dinner…sure wish we had the MPD backing us up…but since this is a secret rescue mission…I guess this would be a good time to become Agito…"
At this moment the children opened their eyes and got up, all glaring at the redhead beauty and she started to suspect something that wasn't right, and recalling what Sakie and Naoto did to her earlier, she started to realize that these children may possess psychic powers.
"Don't tell me…"
-x-
Outside the building, Hokuto Sumeragi chants a spell which would render the G3 Trailer invisible to the Lords' eyes so as not to put the people inside in danger, and then follows her twin brother, Subaru, into sneaking inside the research facility, where they saw several of the guards are still out of commission. As they went inside, the twin siblings noted that the main building is so huge that it would require a plan to search for their queries to constrain time.
"What now?"
"We split up…you go left…me go right…"
"The opposite way?"
"At least it'll cover us some grounds…"
The twins agreed that they should split up, but then more guards came and Hokuto uses her magic to put them to "sleep", and there Subaru went to the west area while Hokuto went east.
-x-
The scene shifts back to the room where Hikaru is and as several minutes passed, the redhead is having problems of her own as the children make their moves by using their psychokinesis on the Class M leader, throttling her all over the room, and though their powers were not as strong as Naoto's, the children did make a good punching bag as the ex-Magic Knight is getting hurt at the impact of the assault on her.
"OOOFFF! That hurts!"
Hikaru gets up as she ignores the pain and urges the children to snap out of their actions but it was no use as they were brainwashed in secret and the assault continues, further harming her and she realized that there is no other way to stop them with just words. She didn't want this kind of tactic but felt that it's the only way to save them.
"Darn…hate to do this…but I have to put you out in a non-fatal way…henshin!"
Hikaru did an arm gesture to initiate her transformation but to her surprise, the Alter Ring belt did not appear and she was starting to feel apprehension as to why this is happening, noting that there was nothing wrong with her and wondered why her Agito powers are not functioning. By then the psychic children resume their attacks, each using their psychokinesis to maul and maim the Class M leader senselessly.
BLAG!
SPLAG!
WHA-PLAG!
"Unnnfffhhh! What's going on? Have my Agito powers been shut down?"
-x-
The scene shifts outside the research facility where the Overlord Of Darkness stood outside and glances at the building, where he can sense several supernatural auras being used and realized that though they are not related to his and his counterpart's powers, he nevertheless sees them as a threat, so he summoned an army of Scarab Lords, as they emerged from the ground through digging, and ordered them to invade and kill everyone inside the building.
"Go, my army…take no prisoners and take all life away from them. Do not hold back…I allow you to slay…"
The Scarab Lords then went towards the building, some by foot and others by flying, and are ready to invade and attack, some heading for the main building while others head for the communication building while the Overlord Of Darkness watches the scene play in an emotionless gesture.
To Be Continued…
The two characters from CLAMP's manga series, X/1999 (Subaru Sumeragi and Hokuto Sumeragi), are having a go and are now going to help out in any way they could, while Hikaru is in big trouble after her Agito powers did not manifest so she must do something to survive or else she'll perish within this arc.
The Overlord of Darkness shows up and sends the Scarab Lords to massacre everyone inside the building, so expect a bloody bath in the next chapter.
Preview:
- The Sumeragi twins from the manga X/1999 goes into action and fends off more psychic attackers;
- Ringo Seto and Kobato (from CLAMP's Angelic Layer and Kobato, respectively) goes in to help Hikaru in fighting off the psychic children;
- Tomoyo makes use of the G3-X suit's powers and took down more guards, but then she encounters a problem as G4 suddenly appeared to challenge her. G4? Wasn't that suit destroyed several chapters ago by the MPD?
