Seeds of Agito

Chaos will erupt in this chapter once Nanami discovers that Kelberos is somewhere within the building…and expect a lot of commotion to take place here the entire police force inside the Metropolitan Police Force are engaging in a frantic search for the Pluto agent while the "bureaucrat" will finally be revealed…


Upon arriving at the information desk of the MPD's main building, Superintendent Touyama arrived and a startled Nanami asked him why is he in such a hurry, and the next conversation made the DDS instructor filed with apprehension and realized the magnitude of the situation at hand.

"Whoa...Superintendent...what's the rush?"

"There's a man claiming to be a bureaucrat and wants to visit Kelberos!"

"Huh? But Pluto doesn't have that kind of connection..."

"And I have a feeling it could be one of his allies in disguise!"

"You may be right...count me in!"

Taking a few policemen with them, Nanami and Touyama head for Kelberos' cell in hopes of catching the "bureaucrat" as they assumed he is a Pluto agent in disguise and when they arrived they noted that the "bureaucrat" is not there and that the prisoner is still in restraints, which Touyama is relieved and assumed that maybe Kelberos' visitor left already or decided not to go on, but then Nanami notices that the jail guard watching over the prisoner is nowhere to be found.

"The jail guard is not here..."

"Huh? Maybe he went to the toilet..."

"I have a bad feeling...open the cell..."

A suspicious Nanami had one of the policemen open the cell door and then went inside, checking on the prisoner, and to his surprise, upon removing the blindfold, he discovered that it was the jail guard assigned to watch over the prisoner, and thus the DDS instructor and the MPD policemen realizes that Kelberos has indeed escaped and Touyama tells the policemen to alert everyone within the building as he hoped that the prisoner is still here and has not reached the exit door.

"Blast! He did escape...you...alert everyone inside the building! Tell them there's an escaped prisoner here!"

"Got it!"

"You...try to sound the alarm!"

"Yes, sir!"

Nanami clenched his fists as he realizes someone may have hypnotized the hapless guard to free the Pluto agent and then have the guard took his place which facilitated his escape and now things are taking a turn for the worse as he feared that if Kelberos escapes, Pluto will be active again and may target Kyuu for whatever diabolical schemes they have in mind.

154: Cheisu

After removing the jail guard's body and removing his shackles, Nanami attempts to revive him using CPR and other first aid methods, and despite assistance from other policemen, the DDS instructor realizes that the guard can't be saved and noted that he has died several minutes ago from suffocation, but he is bothered at what caused his death seeing that there are no physical signs of struggle within the cell and that the guard's throat and neck has no swelling that would suggest strangulation.

"This is odd...what would cause him to die from suffocation if there is no swelling around his neck and no signs of strangulation...let alone signs of struggle..."

"This is not good...I'm going to alert everyone inside the MPD so that they could find him and at least slow, him down...!"

"I'm coming too...gentlemen...please take care of him...!"

Touyama then leaves to alert the policemen of a possible prisoner escape as Nanami tells the other policemen to take care of the jail guard's body as he joins the superintendent in finding Kelberos. As they head up the stairs leading to the main lobby, Nanami thought of something and confided to Touyama about this and the superintendent agreed to, seeing that there may be a way to track down Kelberos.

"Superintendent Touyama...i think I may have a way to track him down..."

"I'm listening..."

"Let's check the CCTV at the information desk...we might be able to locate Kelberos' location...and to see who spring him out of his cell and killed the guard...that way we may be able to find and corner them..."

"I agree...let's head to the information desk..."

Superintendent Touyama and Nanami then head for the lobby area and approached the information desk, asking the dispatcher to play the footage of the CCTV camera on the computer to see who visited Kelberos several minutes ago while informing her of a possible prisoner escape, and she obliges as she tries to rewind the footage that were recorded several minutes ago, but all of the sudden, the sprinklers from the ceiling began to shower water, and within minutes it sprayed down in strong current and even the information desk is drenched and Nanami instinctively pulled Touyama away.

"Look out!"

"What...?"

"We'll be electrocuted!"

"Damn it!"

"AAAAIIIIEEEE!"

The dispatcher screamed as water drenched the computer and its plugs, and this caused an electric reaction and she was electrocuted to death, and with Nanami drenched he couldn't make an attempt to save her and realized that something is not right as he noted that there are no smokes coming out from a nearby source and sensed that Kelberos did something to trigger the sprinklers.

"There are no smokes coming out and neither the smoke alarm blared...what the heck is causing the sprinklers to spray water down...?"

However, the force of the sprinklers begin to increase with strength which caused policemen in all floors (there are 10 floors in the main building of the MPD) to be disoriented and that its temperature rises producing hot water which slowly weakens them due to its rising temperature and Nanami is forced to take Touyama and hid under a table to shield themselves as he saw mist emanating from the sprinklers and is shocked at seeing the situation in front of him.

"The sprinklers are spraying hot water! How can this be since there is no hot water there?"

"I don't know...and this is bad...we can't do anything at the moment except wait for the sprinklers to stop!"

-x-

At the G3 Trailer, Icchan is baffled at the scene before the monitor as he managed to get a live footage of the main building and connects it to the computer monitor of the G3 Trailer and tells everyone about the situation at the main building and everyone rushed to see what is going on. Fuu, who is now clad in the G3-X suit, also took a look and couldn't believe what is happening and saw Nanami is in danger as well, while mystified as to why the sprinklers are spraying hot water at the policemen below.

"The sprinklers...there are no temperature switches, are they?"

"No, Fuu...no such switches...and the waters are meant to douse of flames..."

"But why is it that the sprinklers are spraying hot water and are activated when there is no fire there...?"

"The policemen are slowly being burned to death...! And if we don't do something..."

"Icchan...Hatoko...Minoru...try to find a link that would remotely cut off the supply of water connecting to the building's sprinklers...I'm going and see what I can do...!"
Seeing that she can't stay and watch, G3-X tells everyone that she is heading for the main building and help out in any way she could, but Tomoyo tells Fuu that the important thing is to find and recapture Kelberos, while she comes along to get help from nearby police precincts and the two heads out of the G3 Trailer. As G3-X went ahead, Tomoyo gives Team G3 some instructions while monitoring Fuu's activities and advised them to avoid looking at kelberos' eyes even if it is just a live footage, reminding them that they might get caught by his hypnosis and they all nodded in acknowledgement.

"Okay...keep on monitoring the situation..."

"Yes, ma'am!"

"Yes, ma'am!"

"Icchan go boom!"

"And in case Kelberos is shown...try avoiding staring at his eyes..even if it's a live footage, there's a risk of getting hypnotized..."

"Yes, ma'am!"

"Yes, ma'am!"

"Icchan go boom!"

Tomoyo then leaves as she tries to get help seeing that the MPD is in a crisis on its own.

"This is going to be a heck of a day...!"

Back at the MPD's main building, Kelberos is walking by the path of fallen bodies while holding an umbrella to shield him from the hot waters from the ceiling sprinklers though his "saviour" assured him he won't be affected as long as he controls the water's temperature. Kelberos smiled as he is pleased to see that no one can stop them from escaping and compliments his "saviour's" efforts and complimented him for his "talents".

"I must say...you have a remarkable talent..."

"Thank you...and I must thank Seishiro for offering me a chance to work with someone..."

"And I noticed that I'm not being burned by hot water..."

"As long as I control the temperature...you will be unharmed..."

"Then let's get going, shall we...?"

"Yes."

Kelberos then proceeded to head for the main door of the MPD while looking back at the events on how he was able to escape incarceration and who spring him out and who saved him.

-FLASHBACK-

A flashback scene shows that before entering the MPD's main building, the man is dressed like a bureaucrat and is given instructions by someone, who turned out to be Seishiro Sakurazuka, who brought the man here to get Kelberos out of police custody. The man listens intently and is making preparations to go inside to aid the Pluto agent in escaping the building and is given forged document papers to support his disguise. He is identified as Yuto Kigai and he too possesses an "Agito" power that lets him control and manipulate water, hence he is a water master, capable of summoning floods and hurling water bolts, as well as arranging more benign fountain displays for the amusement of others.

Although he is a polite but largely amoral young man, he also displayed a tinge of brutality. A former bureaucrat working at a Ward Office, he never lets on to any of the happy couples turning in their marriage licenses that he is seeking to destroy humanity, assuming an air of bland cheerfulness which he maintains even in combat. Usually sporting a pink shirt and white overcoat, people have been known to remark that he looks like a pimp.

His background, along with his awakening Agito powers, is enough reason for Seishiro to approach him and offered him to work alongside the Overlord of Darkness, and after a series of discussions, he accepted as long as he is spared and allowed to keep his powers. This led to the Overlord of Darkness to accept him as long as he serves him and everything else is set.

Upon entering the main building and showed his ID and documents, the dispatcher allowed Kigai to go to Kelberos' cell and there he meets with the jail guard watching over the Pluto agent and he tells the guard he is here to see the prisoner.

"I'm here to see Kelberos..."

"Just a moment, please..."

Seeing that the guard is drinking a glass of water, Kigai uses his power to take the form of a water and entered the guard's throat and started to choke him to death before reassuming his corporeal form and took the keys to open the cell door and removed the prisoner's blindfold and tells him of the situation and business here.

"Mr. Kelberos, am I correct?"

"Yes..."

"I came here on behalf of Pluto and the Overlordof Darkness...and I'm here to get you out of here."

"Splendid...I am grateful..."

Kelberos smirked upon hearing the Overlord's name and he is set free where he and Kigai removed the guard's uniform and have the dead guard dressed as the prisoner while Kelberos is dressed as a guard and puts the dead guard back to bead and places the blindfold and shackles on him and the two casually walked away. They are confident that they could walk away but Kelberos reminds Kigai that a DDS instructor might see through his disguise but Kigai assures him that he'll take care of everything as he notices several sprinklers above them and an idea formed in his head.

"And those sprinklers would do nicely to help us out..."

-END FLASHBACK-

Back at the present time, Kigai and Kelberos are walking past the bodies and noted that some are still alive but weak, and Kigai kicked them aside as they are nearing the main exit door and tells Kelberos that a ride is waiting at a nearby parking lot and the Pluto agent is pleased but then the sprinklers suddenly stopped and Kigai wondered what has happened, and then they saw several reserve policemen gathered at the main exit door aiming their guns at the two just as Nanami and Touyama emerged from the table seeing that the sprinklers have stopped.

"Okay...shower time's over...surrender, Kelberos...and you too, Mr. Bureaucrat..."

"Superintendent Touyama...it's okay...we have stopped the sprinklers!"

One of the cops tell Touyama that they cut off the water supply at the sprinklers and now they can capture Kelberos, and the Pluto agent smirked as he raised his hand in a surrendering gesture, though Kigai wondered what the Pluto agent is up to seeing that Kelberos is seemingly giving up after all the efforts he showed to free him from incarceration.

To Be Continued...


A weird kind of trouble for this chapter, huh...the police getting disoriented by water sprinkler? Well...this is because of Yuto Kigai having the ability to control and manipulate water, hence the policemen are helpless on this one...

Speaking of which, Yuto Kigai is another character and serves as one of the antagonists from CLAMP's X/1999, who is a member of the Dragons Of Earth, and I borrowed him here since he will play a part in future chapters of this fic since I already brought some of the Dragons of Heaven members Subaru Sumeragi and Karen Kasumi in the previous chapter...

Since kelberos is surrounded, and is surrendering, what would G3-X do at this point?


Preview:

Whether kelberos surrenders again will be answered in the next chapter as a brawl ensues in...and out of the Metropolitan Police Department...and in to the streets...
