Seeds of Agito
The conclusion to this story arc, readers! Now that the Overlord of Darkness has left, our DDS heroes will now have to contend with remaining Scarab Lords while our guest heroes from the manga, X/1999, are having problems of their own…but still…read on as the is arc comes to an end…
At the main gate of the research facility, Akiko watches on as Sakie confronts the Overlord Of Darkness in a stand-off just as Naoto Kirihira, who woke up several minutes ago and managed to sneak his way out of the main building, but hid himself within the crates as he sees Sakie using her explosion powers to deal a blow on the Overlord, but to his surprise, as the smoke cleared, the Overlord is unharmed yet he stood there as if nothing happened.
"Huh? That man…he just stood there as if nothing happened…Sakie's power is at full blast…yet he remained unharmed? What is he then? What kind of power does he possess?"
"Is that your full power? I'm disappointed in you humans…yet I'm amazed you have those even though it did not originate from you being an Agito…but nevertheless…you are a threat…more than mere eyesore…and therefore you must be eliminated…for I cannot allow humans to evolve…"
Even Akiko is surprised to see this and Sakie increases the power of her attacks, yet the Overlord stood there like an emotionless figure and she kept on attacking until the Jackal Lord arrived, having slaughtered all of the remaining ARK employees and she took her ire on him, though he got rattled a little, he is relatively unharmed and began to confront her, brushing off the explosion impacts and sliced off her head with the scythe, and she dropped dead on the ground.
As Akiko is in a state of disbelief, the Overlord told her that even though she and her power are insignificant to him he still deemed her a threat and tells the Jackal Lord to prepare finishing her off, but decided to allow Akiko to say her last words before his subordinate lands the fatal strike.
"Any last words?"
"No…I have nothing more to say…apart from the fact that I have finally accepted defeat…my plans of ruling this country is ruined thanks to you…who decided to stick your nose to something that has nothing to do with this so-called Agito…"
"Bold words…and no…I seek my targets and I spare no one who gets in my way…be it an Agito or a mere human…but those with supernatural powers…I consider them a threat…so therefore…you are not an exception…good eve, and goodbye…"
As Naoto tries to comprehend what he just saw and heard, his eyes focused towards the Overlord of Darkness as he raised a hand and the Jackal Lord slowly went towards Akiko, raising his staff and is ready to deliver the final blow to her yet the CEO of ARK did not resist as she smirked at accepting her end, much to the overlord's curiosity at seeing her embracing death.
"You may be powerful…but don't let that get over your head…for someone would surely defeat you…and I'm betting that someone would be the one you are tormenting…"
"Agito…she is no more especially after my emissaries are dealing with her…"
"Never let your guard down…and look forward to tomorrow…Agito will defeat you…"
Akiko's words was interrupted as a swing of the Jackal Lord's scythe came, and the weapon's sharp blade slices it way, and has beheaded Akiko as her body slumped to the ground while her head fell down to the ground amid a trail of blood spilling all over and the Overlord is rather unaffected by the sight, seeing that a certain degree of death has been addressed and now he can resume his business of hunting down the humans who possess "Agito" seeds and reclaim them for his own.
"Come…we leave now. My emissaries will deal with whatever is left…we resume searching for those who still has the seeds of Agito…"
As the Overlord of Darkness and the Jackal Lord left, Naoto remained behind hiding, kneeling in despair as he realized that he was being made an unwilling puppet to ARK and accidentally and unknowingly killed his brother while hurting a few people and now he is at loss as to what he should do next and how to make amends on his unintentional actions he committed to Umi several hours ago. He is also petrified with fear after seeing how powerful the Overlord of Darkness is and wished that Naoya is here to tell him what he should do, especially when he slowly came to realize that he was being controlled by ARK which resulted in his unintentional killing of his brother.

132: Naitoheddo To no Taiketsu part 8
Back inside the research facility, the remaining ARK employees are struggling to escape the besieged building in order to avoid getting caught by the Scarab Lords, yet the Lords are all over the place as they catches up to the hapless preys and have cornered them. The scientists and employees screamed as they are being mauled and ripped apart at the hands of the Scarab Lords, blood and organs littered all over the floor as the screaming dies down.
The screams have attracted the Sumeragi twins as they went towards the scene and saw the scene of carnage, which the two decided that they'll have to put a stop to the Lords before more victims are claimed, preparing themselves to act more aggressively in order to defeat the Scarab Lords permanently so as to decrease the Lords' numbers so as not to give them the chance to increase in sheer force.
"Oh boy…looks like we need to go all out if we are to stop these bugs…Subaru…?"
"No questions asked, Hokuto…let's start the chanting…"
Chanting their magical spells, the Sumeragi twins began to unleash powerful spells which slowly wiped out the Lords in their area and silence engulfed the room as they surveyed it, seeing no sign of life here and decided to leave and find the other areas and hoped that there might be some lives that needed to be saved. As Subaru is about to leave, Hokuto saw someone outside the building via the window and she saw Naoto Kirihira fleeing, and told her twin brother about this but he told her to focus on finding the other Lords inside the building.
"Hey…I see someone escaping…should we…?"
"We got other matters to attend to…let him…if he managed to escape this building, then he has better chances of leaving the grounds…"
"If you say so…"

Meanwhile, G3-X re-enters the fray and fired her weapons at the Scarab Lords who are following Fuu and Agito-Trinity Form, while Ringo and Kobato are carrying the comatose Umi with the oxygen tank still attached to Umi's oxygen mask. Things are getting tensed as the pursuing Lords are getting aggressive and both Agito and G3-X are keeping the predators at bay. Fuu is then surprised to hear Tomoyo's voice beneath the G3-X armor and there she is surprised at what G3-X told her.
"Huh? Tomoyo? Is that you in there…?"
"Yes…luckily…Hikaru was able to hold on in wearing this suit before calling me here…"
"Hikaru donned the G3-X suit?"
"You heard me…we'll talk later…we should get out of here first…!"
As they are nearing the ground floor of the fire exit, the door and the wall broke down as more of the Scarab Lords barges in, and they are about 15 of them, and this puts pressure on the girls as G3-X opened fire at them while Agito-Trinity Form defends the back as she executed the Fire-Storm Attack, wiping the Lords who are approaching from behind, and then did the same at the ones in front, slowly decreasing the Lords' numbers.
As G3-X and Agito deals with the rest of the Scarab Lords, Fuu, Ringo and Kobato took the chance to get Umi out of the building and head for the open area, where the G3 Trailer arrived and there Team G3 opened the door and the four girls got in and they started to move away, which made Fuu concerned at leaving Tomoyo behind facing the Lords.
"Ha-ha-ha! Icchan go boom!"
"Come on…hop in!"
"But…Tomoyo and…"
"She'll be fine…Agito's with her…and I'm sure Hikaru is somewhere here…probably got out of the building…Ms. Ringo and Ms. Kobato…hop on in…"
"Thanks…"
"Yeah…thanks…"
-x-
At the back portion of the research facility outside, Subaru and Hokuto Sumeragi got out and this time they made sure that there are no more innocent people inside the building after learning that the Scarab Lords have virtually killed everyone off and now they are contemplating on unleashing their powerful spells though this would mean for the twins to tax their powers to their limits and leaves them physically vulnerable to attacks.
"We'd better ring the building down, Subaru…that way we kill these bugs in one blow…"
"Let's consider this first, Hokuto…we'll be drained if we do that…not to mention there are some outside…we'd be vulnerable if we…"
"Got a better idea…?"
"Hokuto…"
As the twins are contemplating on what to do next, two more persons shows up and this seemingly caused some tensions until the pair, who are both females, told them that they were sent here by the overlord of Light to assist them. Although suspicious at first, the twins finally warmed up after seeing their sincerities as they introduced themselves. They are Karen Kasumi and Arashi Kishu, and they said that they are here to help defeat the Scarab Lords.
"Hey, Sumeragi twins!"
"Huh? Who are you? How do you know our…"
"The Overlord of Light sent us here…"
"Him?"
"Seriously…?"
"Yes…we're here to assist you. My name's Arashi Kishu…my partner here is Karen Kasumi…"
"Please to meet you two…now allow us to take over while you rest…"
Arashi then saw a Scarab Lord approaching them and then she demonstrated her power, which is revealed that she is a "kekkaishi" and traps the Lord inside a barrier she conjured and then slowly decreases the barrier's size, slowly crushing the Lord until it was destroyed. Karen on the other hand, began concentrating her powers just as Agito and G3-X leaves the building on top of the Machine Tornador. Karen is revealed to possess pyrokinesis and she unleashes a gigantic fireball which is supported by the Sumeragi twins and they destroyed the research facility along with the remaining Scarab Lords.
"Wow…"
"Glad that you're on our side…"
"Thanks…now we'd better go…the Overlord of Light wants to meet with us at a meeting place…"
"Wait…what about Agito…I want to meet this person…"
"We'll see Agito again, Hokuto…right now we need to rest…and the Overlord wants to see us…"
"Aww…come on, Subaru…"
As the four left the area, Agito drops by the G3 Trailer where G3-X got off and Agito leaves, and she sneaks back towards the remains of the research facility and heads back to the G3 Trailer where she is greeted by Fuu, Ringo and Kobato, all are glad to see her safe and unharmed. Ringo and Kobato are the only ones who know of Hikaru being Agito so they helped her make an alibi to cover her identity. They all head back to Tokyo Hospital so Umi can be treated again.
-x-
At the Tokyo Hospital, Umi is once again placed at the intensive care unit with Hikaru looking after her just as Umi's parents arrived after getting word on their daughter being rescued. They thanked Hikaru and Team G3 for rescuing her and things went well until Tomoyo told Fuu to go home so that her family will know of this to lessen their anxious worrying.
"You'd better go home, Fuu. Your family is worried sick about you…"
"Yeah…I will…and thanks…"
"Thank Hikaru…she started this and if not for her this rescue mission would never be a success…"
"Hikaru…"
"No need to thank me, Fuu…just treat me with some deserts…"
"You got it…"
As Fuu left, the time now is beyond 12 midnight and everyone realized that they've been fighting ARK and the Scarab Lords for almost more than four hours straight, and they wondered if they will ever hear from them again, unaware that ARK is already destroyed at the hands of the Overlord of Darkness.
To Be Continued…
This ends the Night Head Genesis arc and both Umi and Fuu are rescued, though Umi will remain out of action until she gets out of her coma.
Two female characters show up to lend support to the Sumeragi twins. They are Karen Kasumi and Arashi Kishu, who are from the manga and anime, "X/1999". Looks like the CLAMP franchise characters are slowly making their presence known in this fic.
