Seeds of Agito
A lot of revelations will be shown here in this chapter, with two of Class M's members discovering each others' alter egos, to Kyuu learning the contents of the letter, and the mysterious person who contacted Kazuma, will get to speak to Umi, and will BAIT her into finding out the secret of the Akatsuki Ferry attacks that ties in with the Lords.

As Kotaro tries to break free, the Beetle Lord then started to bite through Kotaro's nape, slowly eating his way until reaching his spinal column and slowly killed him while beheading him in the process, while Miyuki kept on digging her fingers, boring a huge hole on Chinami's chest until the seed is extracted and then forcefully ripped them off her body, ensuring her death.
"NOW I HAVE THE SEED...I SHALL GIVE THIS BACK TO THE OVERLORD OF DARKNESS..."
At the same time, Kotaro's corpse, which still has the severed head attached to his body, was thrown aside and head for Chinami's corpses and under Miyuki's orders, the Beetle Lord proceeded to mangle her corpse so that she won't be saved, then she recalled that Hikaru is still out there and plans on hunting her down then taker her "Agito seed" by force, but then the sound of a motorcycle snapped her out of her musing.
"EH...? I SENSE AN AGITO SEED..."
The scene shows that Umi Ryuuzaki arrived and is angered at what she just saw, that Class E was murdered and saw Miyuki, though she can tell that she was possessed by the Merman Lord and tries to goad him into leaving Miyuki's body and fight her head on, which the Lord didn't budge and instead gives the Beetle Lord some instructions.
"You monster! You killed them!"
"AND I AM PROUD TO DO THAT...FOR THEY GAVE THEIR PITIFUL LIVES FOR THE OVERLORD'S SAKE...AND SO WOULD YOU..."
"I'll kill you!"
"FOOLISH BITCH...YOU...KILL HER AND BRING ME HER SEED..."
As the Beetle Lord started to head for the Class M member, Umi got off her motorcycle, then summons her "Agito" belt, crosses her arms and shouted aloud.
"Henshin!"
Her body anatomically changes form and she slowly changes into Gills and she roared in pure anger as she prepared to take the fight against her two opponents.

As Gills heads for the possessed Miyuki, the Beetle Lord blocks her path and uses his back shell as a shield to deflect her blows as the possessed Miyuki tells the Beetle Lord to kill Gills and extract her "seed" as she walks away from the scene, kicking Kotaro's corpse aside in the process. The Merman Lord ignored Gills' screams as he, taking Miyuki's body with him, disappeared from the scene leaving the Lord to deal with Gills.
"Blast you! RRRAAAGGGHHH!"

Gills delivered a barrage of punches and kicks to get the Lord to go off-balance but it didn't work because of the monster's thick hide and shell but this didn't deter her and increases the efforts of her attacks as pure anger courses within her body as she intends to avenge Class E and became more determined to find the Lord who is currently possessing Miyuki's body, and doesn't care how long it would take, as long as she succeeded in dealing with the Lord in front of her.
At this point, G3-X arrived and saw the scene in front of her, and even Team G3 can see the scene via G3-X's helmet lens that connects to the G3 Trailer's computer monitors and there they too saw the scene in front of them which added a lot of mystery plots:
- Kotaro and Chinami's corpses are there;
- Gills is fighting the Beetle Lord;
"No way...that thing...it's fighting an Unknown...is that thing really on our side...?"
Fuu is mystified at seeing this and wondered if Gills is on their side or not, but then she got a call from Team G3 and there they told the bespectacled Class M member to take the initiative.
"Fuu...capitalize on that moment...if that thing is fighting that Unknown...then that thing may be an Agito and on our side..."
"You might be able to kill that thing if you help that other thing..."
"Let's assume that thing is an Agito...if it attacks you afterwards, then it is an enemy..."
"Icchan go boom!"
"Right..."
Taking Team G3's words cautiously, G3-X decided to aid Gills in dealing with the Beetle Lord and there the two began working together and Team G3 are astonished to see the battle taking a new twist, but the next few minutes appeared to shift the battle and the tide. The two Class M members began pooling their resources and delivered a barrage of attacks on the Lord, and even after bringing out her sub-machine gun and fired at the Lord, it didn't change the outcome much given the Beetle Lord's tough skin and shell.
"Blast...that thing's tough...!"
"RRRRAAAAGGHHH!"
Gills then summon her Heel Claws and is ready to execute the Heel Stab attack but the Beetle Lord backed away and narrowly misses the attack, and this gives the monster the break to mount a counter-attack, ramming its armored head towards Gills, and the impact sent her staggering back towards G3-X, and the two fell to the ground. As Gills gets up, the Beetle Lord rammed her again and she fell on top of G3-X again, and there the Lord mounts an escape and leaves the scene.
Gills gets up and goes after the Lord, with G3-X following, and the chase leads the two ex-Magic Knights towards the outside of the construction yard, where there is no trace of the Beetle Lord's whereabouts. Gills is pissed at this but she wouldn't give up, and forgetting that G3-X is just behind her, she looked around to see if she can trace the Lord's aura, but when she couldn't Umi reverted back to normal and boarded her motorcycle and left the scene, leaving a surprised G3-X behind as she discovered that Gills is Umi.
"No way...Umi...is that horned thing...?"
At the G3 Trailer, Team G3 is also surprised at the discovery and each of them are debating over how this happened and why did she attacked Fuu and Agito in the first place, yet their debate raises more questions than answers.
"Did you see that...?"
"That's Umi Ryuuzaki...her fellow DDS schoolmate..."
"But...why did she attack Fuu and Agito before...?"
"And if Umi is that thing...then...Agito may be...human..."
"Seriously?"
-x-
About five minutes later, the scene shifts to the road within Tokyo as Umi searches the entire place to find the Beetle Lord but haven't gotten any luck so far. She is sure that the Lord is somewhere within the vicinity and she is getting rather impatient at losing sight of her quarry as she couldn't accept that another DDS section died after Class K met a similar, tragic end, and she is determined not to let another DDS section meet a similar fate.
"Blast...got to find that monster or else more lives will be lost...!"
However, Umi's musing is interrupted when a limousine blocked her path which the ex-Magic Knight of Water is forced to stop, and there the window of the limousine slightly opened and a voice spoke to her, which the next few moments changed the flow of the scene.
"The monster you seek is gone...you'll only waste your time..."
"How do you know of this?"
"I know a lot...for I am the one who restore your health...and the one who gave you the power you currently have...Gills."
"Eh? How do you know...? Who are you?"
"If you wish to know...come with me...we will discuss this...why you possess that power...even though you're not part of the Akatsuki Ferry incident four years ago..."
"What? Is that incident connected?"
"Come with me and you will get the answers you seek..."
"First thing's first...WHO ARE YOU?"
"I am someone who has no name, but I am called the Overlord of Light...but for this situation...you may address me as...Kamui Shiro."
Umi at first rebukes the stranger when he asks her to come with him, but then she decided to accept the stranger's "invitation" when told that he can provide answers as to why the Lords are attacking selected victims and why she possesses the "power" even though she is not part of the Akatsuki Ferry passengers, telling her that these events are linked together and that she is due to meet someone who possess a similar power.
"You better have answers prepared...but if you turn out to be a liar..."
"Good...we shall depart then..."
Umi then decided to follow the limousine as it heads for an unspecified direction as she is curious and interested in knowing about the Akatsuki Ferry incident and how and why she possesses this power to become Gills and how is this linked to Agito. She realized that this revelation is more important and mentally tells Class E that their deaths will eventually be avenged and that she'll see to it that Hikaru will be informed about this matter once she gets the answer from the stranger.

Back at the construction yard, police and ambulances arrived as Team G3 informed the MPD about what happened, and G3-X watches the corpses of Yuma, Sonomi, Chinami and Kotaro's corpses being loaded inside the ambulances, where they are to be taken at the nearest morgue and she is saddened that another DDS students have died at the hands of the Lords, but at the same time, she is baffled as to why Umi is Gills and why did she attack Agito in the first place.
"Umi...is it really you...being that horned thing...? If so...why did you attack Agito...? And why did you attack even me...?"
G3-X also recalled the time when Umi almost came close to beheading her and decided to keep this fact from the MPD, especially Kojima, while at the same time, she decided to confront Umi and get the answers from her so that she can judge her friend to see if she is on the "good side" or on the "bad side". She hoped that Umi's answer, when asked, is on the "good side" and on Agito's side.

Back at Dan Detective School, Kyuu and Megumi continued to decipher the letter which they found from the metal box and are deciphering why Satoru Renjou's name is written in one of the envelopes, which the Class Q leader glances at the old DDS notebook that he got several years ago and tries to establish a link between them.
"Hmm...I wonder why he is here...what's his connection to this school..."
"You know the name of that person...? He has the same surname as yours..."
"True...but I met him several years ago..."
"Really?"
"Yes..."
Kyuu then told Megumi that he met someone who gave him a DDS notebook six years ago where he was kidnapped by a gang of kidnappers and that person saved and rescued him from them. By then Morihiko Dan arrived and saw what the two Class Q members are at the storage room and asked them what they are doing.
"Excuse me..."
"Dan-sensei!"
"Dan-sensei!"
"What are you doing here? And what are you doing with those envelopes?"
"We were cleaning the hallway and this room..."
"Then we accidentally saw the contents...and I'm figuring out why this man's name is here..."
"Really...?"
"His name is the same as the one who saved me several years ago..."
"May I take a look...?"
Kyuu then shows to Dan the envelope and letter containing Satoru Renjou's name and the old DDS notebook that he has, and the DDS founder is surprised at this and glances at Kyuu, starting to suspect something from him, and then at the letter, feeling that something from his past is about to visit him.
To Be Continued...
Revelations, indeed as the following shows why this chapter's title's:
1) Fuu discovers that Umi is Gills and she is baffled as to why she attacked her and Agito several months back, and now she must confront her friend and get the answers to know what she really stands for, and to know if she's "good" or "bad".
2) Speaking of which, Umi meets with a stranger who goads her into coming with him with the claim of "having answers" to why she has "Agito powers" and its connections to the Lords and the Akatsuki Ferry survivors and the victims. The stranger who is instrumental in healing her is none other than the Overlord of Light...and now uses a human guise and a name...Monou Shiro...the protagonist of X/1999.
3) Dan-sensei is about to realize Kyuu's connection to Satoru Renjou…and this will surely affect the flow of the story once the next chapters come in to play.
