Seeds of Agito

The last arc showed you Class M doing some detective work while facing off against the main star of Code Geass, which left a bit of a tragic end to "Zero". We are now shifting back to the manga adaptation of Detective School Q where Kelberos is in jail and he patiently bid his time to make an attempt to get out of here while Kyuu and Ryu attempts to make him "spill the beans" on where Pluto is hiding at this time...so expect some tense moments here...


A few days later, Hikaru and Umi are standing before Morihiko Dan as they reported to him about what happened at the Shidou residence and how they solved the case the "Faceless" case and exposing the culprit who turned out to be a disgruntled mailman who was born from England holding a grudge against his mail clients that he killed. Hikaru then told Dan that Fuu is currently at the MPD "fending off" Kojima for her "failure" to capture a "horned Agito".

"...as you can see...we accidentally figured out how the culprit's MO works...and that led us to creating a trap for him..."

"...but what we didn't anticipate is that he appeared to possess a hypnotic ability similar to Pluto...and Lelouch Britannia uses it to hypnotize his victims into submission which enabled him to kill his victims then scraping off their faces."

"And what's more, he uses a costumed identity to cover his tracks so no one would recognize him. But Hikaru's plan to infuriate Lelouch worked since he uses his position as a mailman to peek into mails so he would find Hikaru's home address."

"Moreover, Fuu fell victim and Umi and me managed to outwit him and well...the rest is history..."

"However...we're worried about Fuu at the moment..."

"No need to worry...I'm sure Commissioner Hiiragizawa would keep Fuu in the police force..."

"That's good to hear..."

Dan thanked the two girls for a "job well done" and assured to them that Fuu will be fine. By then the two Class M members left while he is awaiting word from Superintendent Touyama about Fuu's fate at the MPD. Shuno Katagiri then commented on the stress Fuu had to take being a DDS Student and as the operator of the G3-X suit, but Dan assures that Fuu can handle it and that she has been instrumental in both DDS and the MPD.

"Are you sure Fuu woill be okay? She has taken a lot of stress...being a DDS student and being the operator of the G3-X suit..."

"Yes...she will be fine...she has made it this far and she chose this because she knows where she would be needed the most..."

"I guess you're right..."

"Believe me...Fuu can overcome this trial..."

"Okay..."

152: Hōmon

At the MPD HQ, Kojima is berating Fuu for her failure to get on her act and accused her of "sleeping on the job" for not apprehending Gills and even went far as physically abusing her and degrading her, which finally caused the bespectacled Class M member to snap and physically answered back, resulting in both of them punching each other out though Kojima has no qualms as he finally got her to lose her cool so that she can be reprimanded and get booted out of Team G3, but Icchan, Hatoko and Tomoyo, who witnessed everything on time, came and pulled her apart, surprised to see her nose and lips busted, her upper school uniform stained in blood.

"Fuu! Calm down!"

"He isn't worth it!"

"Yes he is! I had it with his chauvinistic ways and how he degrade women!"

"Icchan go boom! Icchan go boom! Icchan go boom! Go get her, Fuu-chan! show that Kojima who is the heel of Tokyo! No...show him who is the "balls" and "birdie" of Japan!"

"Icchan! You're not helping matters! You'll only encourage Fuu to make her go mad further!"

"Icchan go boom! Icchan go boom!"

Kojima then acted as if he was being bullied and used this as an excuse to discredit her as Eriol came and saw the brawl, though he asked Icchan what really happened knowing Kojima would accuse him of siding with the "weaker sex", and since Icchan is a man, he can use this to keep Kojima from rebutting so he would know the whole thruth without being accused of "bias".

"What happened here, Ichan?"

"Kojima is berating Fuu for failing to capture an Agito even though he helped in solving the "faceless" case...but then Kojima accused her of "sleeping on the job" even though we restrained her because the "faceless" killer uses hypnosis..."

"Then?"

"Kojima began making degrading comments on her womanhood and that caused her to snap and that's when the brawl began..."

"That's a lie! That bitch started it! Look at me! I only defended myself! I got bruises on my face!"

"We recorded the whole thing and here's the proof...!"

Icchan then showed to Eriol the footage he secretly recorded and Kojima is exposed, but the "higher-ups" came, and despite seeing the evidence, they voted to have both Fuu and Kojima suspended, thus Team G3 now has no user and Eriol protested and the two sides agreed to talk this out. Although penalized, Kojima glances at Fuu, sticking out his tongue and thrusts his hips and doing a "cross chop" in front of his crotch, which almost made her lose her cool as Tomoyo urged her to remain calm.

At Pluto HQ, tge scene shows that its agents, Thanatos, Yurie, Kaoru and Charon, are having a heated debate on what their next move be now that Kelberos is in the hands of the police, specifically the MPD, and since the ACTUAL leader of Pluto is not present at the moment, the four agents can normally air their thoughts and opinions on this matter without restraints.

"I say we shut him up before he spills the beans and led those cops here!"

"You are a fool, Thanatos...we can't just do that!"

"And knowing Kelberos...he's not the type who would give in to pressure from the police..."

"Ad how would you two know he won't squeal on us?"

"I have faith in him..."

"So do I...I belive in him than I believe at a loose cannon like you, Thanatos..."

"What was that, you glasses-wearing bitch?"

"Thanatos, kaori...calm down, both of you..."

As Thanatos suggests that one of them should kill Kelberos to prevent Pluto's secret from being leaked, Yurie and Kaori are against it, given that Kelberos would never bow to pressure and that they are loyal to him, while Charon, on the other hand, is silent on the following discussion as he chose to be neutral on this matter so as not to be accused of taking sides, yet he listens carefully at what his comrades are suggesting, so that he may offer his when the time is right.

"I say we wait..."

"Until when?"

"I'm sure Kelberos is planning on escaping police custody as he waits for the right moment to strike..."

However, they are unaware that behind a corner, the Overlord of Darkness is observing them and is slightly annoyed at their squabbling yet he is impressed at how they are dealing with the matter and there Seishiro came and offers to aid Pluto in getting Kelberos out and claimed that this would be a good way to test his new recruit's "Agito" powers.

"You wish to help free that human?"

"Yes, my master...At least they gave us some service before...so this is the least we can offer in return...and besides...I think this is a good opportunity to test my comrade's "Agito" power..."

"Very well...go then..."

"Thank you..."

Seeing the logic, as well as to see how Seishiro's recruit would demonstrate his power, the Overlord of Darkness gave his approval and Seishiro leaves to bring his "ally" with him as they head for the MPD to break Kelberos out.

At the Metropolitan Police Department HQ, Kotaro Nanami arrived with Kyuu and Ryu tagging along as he decided to bring the two Class Q members as part of their lecture in doing an interrogation, and there Kyuu noticed Fuu sitting on a chair with her face bruised and Hatoko told him what happened, and Ryu urged Kyuu to calm down and concentrate on the matter at hand.

"Kojima did this? I sure want to beat him up after he manhandled me..."

"Kyuu...let's concentrate on why Nanami-sensei brought us here..."

"Okay..."

As the trio left, Eriol emerged from the conference room and there Tomoyo asked how things went, which he said he managed to persuade the "higher-ups" in lessening Fuu's suspension and that they will deal with Kojima personally, though he is unaware that the higher-ups were actually urging Kojima to stop pestering Fuu so that when a situation calls for it, they would have him use the G3-X suit.

-x-

The scene then shifts to the "special cell" somewhere beneath the MPD jail section where Kelberos is being held, and is in handcuffs and blindfold, as instructed by Nanami to the MPD due to his abilities and hypnotic skills. There Kelberos patiently waited for an opportunity to make his move and plan his escape when he gets an unexpected visit as the jail guard announces his visitrs' names, in which he realizes that Kotaro Nanami is here along the two Class Q members. He smirked as he finds it interesting, and with Kyuu here, he now has a devious plan in mind.

"Hey...you got visitors from DDS!"

"Interesting...this surely made my day..."

As the trio went inside the cell, Nanami began the interrogation and asked him about Pluto's whereabouts and where the other Pluto agents can be found, but kelberos changes the subject and began to taunt Ryu, giving hints that would expose the Class Q member of being Pluto's heir, and Ryu managed to restrain himself from lashing out and maintain his cool.

"Okay...care to tell us where Pluto is hiding?"

"Why find an organization when the "heir" is here? He is somewhere around you and he will be king of the world..."

"Are you changing the subject?"

"A subject that is loyal to his master..."

"Okay...we'll do this the hard way..."

Although Nanami wasn't able to decipher that, he took a risk by removing his blindfold and looked at Kelberos in the eyes, asking him again the same question but the Pluto agent just smirked, and Nanami then decided to let Kyuu do the talking which the Class Q leader hesitantly went forward and the two conversed in whisper, and he asked why is he tormenting Ryuu so much when there are other candidates to become the next Pluto leader.

"Why are you making Ryu suffer so much? I'm sure there are other candidates to succeed your organization..."

"So...how much do you know about us?"

"Not much..."

"Interesting..."

Kelberos is quite amazed at Kyuu's approach and decided to make him lose his cool and started taunting him to see the 14-year old boy's mental limits.

"So...are you ready to join the dark side?"

"What do you mean?"

"You were frequently saved by Agito, am I correct? Those who are saved by Agito will soon embrace darkness..."

"That won't happen..."

"But look at your friends Hikaru Shidou and Umi Ryuuzaki...both are Agito and they are friends...but they ended up fighting each other and nearly killed themselves...that is true darkness..."

Fortunately, Nanami and Ryu didn't hear that part, yet Kelberos continues to taunt the Class Q leader, which would soon cause the 14-year old boy to slowly lose his composure.

"How did you...?"

"Why concern for those two bitches? The closer you spend time with them...you will slowly join and embrace the dark side...but then...you need to show concern for your own family...especially one who kept a secret from you..."

"THAT doesn't concern you..."

Kelberos taunted Kyuu about those who gets close to Agito will end up getting corrupted, and meet a dreadful fate, such as Umi losing her boyfriend and she and Hikaru getting into a bitter feud, which Kyuu is surprised to see how Kelberos knows about Class M being Agito and Umi being Gills, but this was just a start as the Pluto agent upped the ante, which would soon result in a scuffle.

"You, on the other hand...you will see darkness...as there is a traitor within your immediate family..."

"If you're talking about Ryu...then you're mistaken..."

"I'm referring to YOUR family...you grew up without another parent beside your mother..."

"What does that have to do with this..."

"Mizue Renjou is keeping a dark secret from you...because she sees you nothing but a blood relative and nothing else...she kept the fact that a parent is never home...and she has no intention of telling you where you're fa..."

"Keep my mom out of this!"

Kelberos stated that there is a traitor within his family and that someone is intentionally keeping a secret from him all this time and that the family he is living with is lying to him about someone close to him being a relative and kept that fact from Kyuu. Kyuu at first thought that Kelberos is referring to Ryu, but when kelberos began mentioning Mrs. Renjou's full name, the Class Q leader loses it and grabbed him by his collar and shook him quite hard.

"Surely you remember...a stranger is spending time with you since you were young...and while you're on doing that...you're mother committed adultery...sleeping with countless men inside your bedroom..."

"YOU JERK! DON'T MAKE A MOCKERY OUT OF MY MOM!"

To Be Continued...


Quite a chapter here, with Kojima making Fuu miserable again, and an interrogation scene as part of the lecture went bad as Kelberos infuriates Kyuu...but how did he know about the Renjou family? And what intentions does Kelberos have against Kyuu?
