B CO-OP
Michiru is woken up by a loud crow coming from outside. She gets out of bed and walks over to her window. She looks out and sees Gem outside on the roof in his beast form, a rooster, crowing. "Good morning . What a beautiful day" At her greeting, Gem looks back and sees Michiru "What do ya think of yer room so far? Our rooftop room is one of the best." Michiru smiles in gratitude "It's great thanks for helping." It was the day after Michiru had become Kamen Rider OOO. After making sure that the children she saved would be ok and that GrandGrandma was arrested, she managed to get registered at city hall right before it closed. After getting registered, Gem and Melissa gave Michiru a proper room on the rooftop.
Michiru looks out at the city and notices a large tower. "Hey , what's that big building over there?" Gem follows her line of sight and sees what building she means. "Oh, that's the medical center, Sylvasta Medical Center. Directly operated by Sylvasta Pharmaceutical. It has a laboratory and a hospital." Michiru looks intrigued "Sylvasta huh, I wonder if maybe they would be able to make me human again." Her room door opens and she sees Shirou. Without saying a word, Shirou grabs Michiru by the back of her shirt and drags her to his office. When they get there, Shirou throws Michiru into a supply closet and locks her in.
"Hey, what do you think you're doing!?" Michiru bangs her hand on the door before trying to open it to no avail "It won't open! Why won't it open?! Hey, what is going on?! Let me out of here already! Are you listening?! This is so not cool!" the reason it won't budge is because Shirou barricaded the door "Would you be quiet?" He slides Michiru's high school ID under the door "I now believe that you used to be a human." Michiru is still confused "So why are you doing this?" Shirou sits on the couch he used to barricade the door"The fact that you exist is dangerous."This does not lessen her confusion. If anything, it makes her even more confused "What do you mean dangerous?" Shirou explains his reasoning "If the humans find out that they can turn into beastmen, they'd all panic. Don't go out until we find out more. I'll bring you some food."
"Hey what are you talking abo- this is crazy!" Michiru continues to argue "Don't worry, I'm going to protect the peace of the beastmen." Michiru is not impressed in the slightest "Don't try to make it sound cool. I don't trust you at all, you're disgusting." Michiru takes the handle and tries to pull the door open. "Open the door, I'm going to the hospital!" Eventually, Michiru loses her grip and falls back into a bunch of boxes "That's enough. You take one step out of that room and I'll kill you." Having already dealt with a gang of traffickers yesterday, Michiru is not at all scared of his threat"Yeah well I'd like to see you try."
Shirou puts another desk against the door for good measure. "Are you rearranging your furniture this morning? Looks exhausting." After hearing the new voice, Shirou looks to the door and sees Mayor Barbara Rose "Mayor." Michiru hears from inside the closet "Did he say mayor?" Michiru puts her ear to the door to listen in "A bombing?" The mayor nods"Yes that's right, the director notified the police that the Sylvasta Medical Center received a bomb threat. Then today at dawn, someone bombed one of Sylvasta's trucks that was transporting medicine."
Michiru was shocked to hear that "A bomb?" suddenly, her ears turned into rabbit ears"Now it's the ears? Ah, whatever" Michiru continues to listen to the conversation, now being able to hear them more clearly " 'If you have the money to build a hospital for beastmen filled with cutting edge equipment, that money should go to the humans instead.' That's what these criminals are saying." Shirou guesses who is responsible"I take it that it's the anti-beastmen again?" The Mayor explains what she knows, which admittedly is not much"The police did their best to track the scents left by the bombs, but the explosion ended up causing the smells to get mixed up, they weren't able to track it unfortunately. I believe that with your sharp sense of smell, you would be able to do a much better job than the police. Please, help me find any others."
"A few patients are hospitalized there, we have to do this quickly." Michiru looks deeply concerned "Oh no if the hospital gets bombed, who knows how many people will get hurt! I have to do something!" Michiru reaches into her tail and grabs the OOO Driver. She puts it on and inserts the medals before turning it sideways. She grabs the scanner and swipes it along the driver "Henshin!"
Taka! Tora! Batta!
Ta-to-ba! Tatoba, Ta-to-ba!
"Did you just hear something?" Shirou denies it even though he knows what that is. In the supply closet, Michiru extends her claws slashing the door's hinges before drop-kicking the door and sending it, along with all the other stuff Shirou used to barricade the door flying across the room. Mayor Rose is surprised while Shirou looks annoyed. OOO stepped out of the closet before canceling the transformation.
Michiru faces the mayor, who is still in shock, and angrily points at Shirou "Mayor, he's guilty of kidnapping me and locking me up.-" "Hey." "- He said he'd kill me if I tried to leave he's guilty of that too." Shirou justifies his actions" It's for your safety and the safety of beastmen." Michiru looks more angry at him. Mayor Rose composes herself before speaking "You must be Kagemori, Michiru. From the outside, you look just like a beastmen. it's hard to believe you used to be a human until recently." Michiru looks shocked that the mayor knew even though she never told her.
"So, you knew." Shirou stated rather than asking "I stay on top of everything that happens in Anima City. That's my job as the mayor here." Shirou sees right through her "I get it, it was GrandGrandma." Mayor Rose neither confirms nor denies "I protect the confidentiality of my sources." Michiru steps forward"Listen, let me go with him. I want to help you guys find the bombs!" Mayor Rose gives a curious look at Michiru "And why is that?" Michiru explains her reasoning" Sylvasta Pharmaceutical might be able to make me human again. But more importantly, if the hospital gets bombed then a lot of people are gonna get hurt right? I can't just stand by when I can do something to help!" Shirou is of course against this "That's a bad idea, it's dangerous to let her go outside. If the anti-beastmen somehow find out about her, it could be trouble."
Michiru angrily looks at him "I'm not hiding anymore" Shirou looks confused at that "Before I came here, I was always stuck at home in my room. On the way here I had to keep on hiding and running from beastmen hunters. When I got here I was able to save those children as OOO and I am glad I did. I won't live in hiding anymore." Shirou is still adamant that she shouldn't leave. "It's not a good idea."
As Michiru and Shirou stare down at each other they are interrupted by Mayor Rose. "We are short-staffed you know, why don't we let her help out." Michiru and Shirou look at Barbara "She can be the new go-to contact for Kuro." Michiru looks curious at that "A contact for Kuro?" Mayor Rose smiles before continuing "No one will be able to tell she was a human just by looking at her. She won't have any problems walking around Anima City. However, don't let anyone find out that you used to be a human, understand?" Michiru looks determined "Of course ma'am." Mayor Rose then gestures to Shirou "Can you forgive him for locking you up and threatening you?" Michiru honestly doesn't want to seeing as he looks like he is in no way sorry but decides to do so since the mayor asked her to. " I suppose I can."
The mayor hands Michiru a new smartphone. "Here you go" Michiru smiles and takes it "Wow a smartphone! I needed a new one since my old one was destroyed." She looks through it to see all the features and sees it has Shirou's number on it. "If Kuro finds anything, make sure you call Ogami. Now Ogami, This is the piece of the bomb that was left at the crime scene." Shirou takes the back with the piece of the bomb from the mayor
Later, Michiru and Shirou were on the roof while looking at the Sylvasta Medical Center. "That hospital is part of the Sylvasta conglomerate, which belongs to the Sylvasta family, one of the richest families in the world. They support our mayor's vision of achieving equal rights for beastmen and humans. They've also supported Anima City with large amounts of funding, some humans are unhappy about it though. However, rumors say that Sylvasta Pharmaceutical is profiting off their data on beastmen. As a result, not all beastmen have a positive view of them."
Hearing his explanation Michiru looks at Shirou confused "Well if that's true, why did you accept this job? I thought you only did things that were for the well-being of beastmen." Shirou takes the bag with the bomb piece out of his coat "Yeah well, I can't say no to the mayor." Shirou transforms into his beast form and smells the piece. He tracks its scent and smells six other bombs around the city. He takes out his phone and calls the police. "This is Ogami, I've found the locations of the bombs. There are six of them in total. send the bomb squad."
When he hangs up he looks at Michiru "You go to the hospital. Michiru looks concerned "Are there bombs at the hospital?" Shirou shakes his head "No, I didn't smell any there but go just in case. We suspect that Sylvasta is what the criminals are really after." As Shirou leaves Michiru then goes to exit the building, but just as she is about to Gem stops her "Hey, Michiru before you go we got something that was delivered for you." Michiru looks at Gem confused "Wait, for me?" Gem nods and gives her a briefcase that has her name on it. Michiru opens the briefcase and sees a strange sword with a text sewn into the briefcase under it saying 'Medajaribur' and a bunch of silver medals that look like her core medals but silver and with an 'X' on one side.
Michiru takes the sword and admires it "Well that's an interesting-looking sword. Almost as interesting as that vending machine you got." Michiru is snapped from her thoughts "The vending what now?" Gem takes her outside and shows her an odd-looking vending machine
"I tried to put in a coin to see what the drinks tasted like but it wouldn't accept any of my quarters." Michiru inspects the vending machine and notices the slot could perfectly fit her core medals...or something similar to them. She takes out one of the silver medals that was in the briefcase and inserts it into the slot before pressing the button above it. The vending machine then transforms and becomes a motorcycle
Michiru and Gem are shocked at how the vending machine turned into a motorcycle. " , where did this come from?" Gem answered while staring at the motorcycle "Some weird drones came last night when you were asleep and dropped them off they gave me this letter with your name on it so I assumed they were for you." Gem gave Michiru the letter and she opened it and it said only a couple of sentences 'A couple of birthday presents for you! Happy Birthday, Kamen Rider OOO! P.S. Enjoy the Ridevendor' and that was all it said. Before she could ponder more she saw Kuro already flying toward Sylvasta. Michiru quickly gets on the Ridevendor and drives after Kuro.
Sylvasta Medical Center
After getting to the hospital, the Ridevendor switches back to a vending machine and Michiru wonders how to get in when a supply truck for the hospital drives to the gate that opens for it. Michiru notices Kuro sitting on the truck. She uses the truck as a cover and sneaks into the hospital.
After getting inside she overhears a doctor talking to some gang members. "Try to go faster!" The leader of the group just sighed "Don't be in such a rush. The police should have their hands tied up with all the bombs right now." the doctor looked frantically at everyone "Anyway, this is the last one you hear me!" the leader just grinned "Hey relax you benefited quite a bit from this too ya know." Michiru wondered what he meant "Benefited what are they talking about?" Without realizing it, Michiru's ears became rabbit ones again.
The leader smelled something and looked to where Michiru was hiding and spotted her ears "Hey! I know you're eavesdropping over there!" Michiru looks up and covers her ears "Damn it, it's the ears!" all the gang members except the leader turned into their beast forms"Who are you? Show yourself!" Michiru looks at the Medajalibur and glances at the gang members' direction "Well guess the silent approach is out the window." With that, she grabbed the Medajalibur and walked into view. "Oh don't mind me, boys. Please, continue your conversation, it sounded quite interesting." The leader smirked before transforming "Get her."
All the gang members charged at Michiru. Instead of running, Michiru ran towards them. When they got close Michiru jumped over them and landed behind the leader and slashed at his back, not deep enough to be fatal or anything, but enough to make it draw some blood. The others saw this and went to attack her. The crow beastman quickly went for a hard punch but Michiru blocked it with the flat side of her sword, making the crow cry in pain as he accidentally broke his hand from punching it too hard and too fast. The dachshund dog beastman tried to get her from behind but she noticed him and dodged to the right before kicking their face into the van next to him, thus knocking him out.
Michiru pointed her sword at them "I suggest you all leave before you guys end up worse than you already are." The other beastmen were frightened and the leader decided to make a 'tactical retreat' "You won't get away with this!" After they left, Michiru noticed something "Hey where did that doctor go?" She looked around and found no trace of them. "Hmm, I better call Shirou and tell him what's up." She takes out her phone and attempts to call Shirou but he doesn't pick up. She tries again and again to call him but Shirou continues not answering, after the seventh time she gives up "Ugh why isn't he picking up? I'll just find him myself." She runs out to get the Ridevendor and find Shirou.
Streets of Anima City
While riding on the Ridevendor, Michiru eventually spotted Shirou "Hey, Shirou!" Shirou sees her and runs up to her "There you are, Kuro told me what happened." Michiru looks at him frustrated "Why didn't you answer me?! I called you seven times!" Shirou just looks slightly apologetic but mostly confused. "Sorry, but what happened to those guys? Kuro told me they were gonna attack you. Also, why were they attacking you?" Michiru just crosses her arms and downplays it "Oh those guys, I already sent them running. As for why, maybe because I saw them loading a truck behind the hospital. who were they anyway?" Shirou starts walking with Michiru following behind with the Ridevendor "They're part of the gang." Michiru looks at Shirou confused "The gang?" Shirou elaborates "They're working with some of the staff and embezzling the hospital's assets."
!BOOOOM!
They are interrupted by a huge explosion. They look and see smoke coming from the medical center. Shirou runs to the medical center with Michiru following behind. "Wait at the Beatmen CO-OP!" Michiru shakes her head "I won't! If they destroy this place people might get hurt!" Shirou tries to get her to go back "It's dangerous!" "Then I'll admit it." Shirou stops and looks at her, surprised "I know that I was born a human. But I'll admit that right now, I'm a beastman." Shirou looks confused "Why do you say that?" Michiru looks him in the eye "Well you did say you would protect the beastmen didn't you? Well then you're gonna have to have my back too, because I'm also a beastman and a Kamen Rider. So get on, we can get there faster on the Ridevendor"
Michiru smirks at him. Shirou sees her resolve and rolls his eyes in annoyance but can't hide the smile on his face"You're such a pain." Shirou gets on the Ridevendor and he and Michiru race toward the medical center.
Sylvasta Medical Center-Bombed Room
When they get there, they see that the room that was bombed is in shambles. They approach the chief of police, Yuji Tachiki, talking to someone. Yuji spots Michiru and Shirou "Ogami, you made it. This is , the director of the medical center." Yaba appears to be sweating a lot and wiping his face with a rag"This is clearly the work of the bomber as well. The police didn't stop this crime, the repercussions will be harsh!" Shirou steps forward "Allow me to investigate too." Yuji introduces Shirou to Yaba"He's an advisor who's been helping us investigate the situation. Are you okay with that?" Yaba just hastily walks away "Do whatever you want"
Shirou begins to investigate "Even you missed this one Ogami." Shirou is confused about how he could have missed this bomb"I traced all the bombs but this one didn't appear. How's that possible?" Shirou investigates the smell of the air and after some time finds something. Michiru and Yuji see this "Did you discover something?" After a few seconds, Shirou spoke "It has no smell."
Yaba's Office
Later, Michiru, Shirou, and Yuji arrive at Yaba's office. They find him with his head against his arms. "Director Yaba." Yaba looks up and sees them. "Can I speak with you for a moment please?" Yaba points at them angrily "What do you want from me now?! I hope you know I'm going to hold you responsible for this!" Yuji gives a summary of what they found "We investigated the crime scene but couldn't detect any traces of the criminal's scent." Yaba bangs his hands on his desk"Is that an excuse?"
Shirou then says "Not only the criminal, but there was also a period in which no scents were found at the crime scene. It's impossible for scents to completely disappear. Unless you use a special chemical that fully erases the scent." Yuji questioned Yaba "Mr. Yaba, this laboratory is capable of developing such a chemical, right?" Yaba realizes what they are implying "This is outrageous! Are you really holding yourself blameless and suspecting me?!" Michiru comes forward"I saw one of your staff members doing business with a gang earlier today. I'm guessing you're involved with them too, aren't you?" Shirou then states the conclusion they have come to "In order to eliminate all the proof you staged the whole thing and bombed the laboratory."
"Seriously, how can you even trust what a man like this says?" Shirou glares at Yaba which frightens the latter " If you follow the scent left at the scene of the crime, it'll always lead you to the culprit. It's because every beastman has their own unique scent. However, there was a particular spot at the crime scene that had no smell at all and you see, ever since this laboratory was bombed...your hands have had no smell to them either." Yaba looks shocked before smelling his hands and realizing Shirou was right. "In accordance with the regulations of the Beastmen Special Zone, the analysis of the scent is going to be used as proof. Mr. Yaba, why don't you and I go have a long talk at the police station."
Realizing he was caught, Yaba turned into his beast form, a Rhino, and charged at Shirou who blocked his horn while also transforming into his beast form "Shirou!" Michiru is about to charge Yaba with the Medajaribur before something wraps around her neck and grabs her, making her drop the Medajaribur. "Don't move! Move even an inch and I'm going to kill her!" When Shirou looks at the chameleon beastmen holding Michiru, Yaba punches him into the wall "Get out of here Mimura!" The now-named Mimura nods and runs to the roof with Michiru still in his grasp. Yaba jumps out the window and lands on one of the building's walkways. When Shirou recovers, he turns to Yuji "Go after them!" After Yuji nods, Shirou takes off after Yaba
Roof of the Medical Center
On the roof, Mimura has Michiru dangling off the roof by his tail. Yuji and his men are pointing their guns at Mimura. "Let her go right now." Mimura threatens them not to move "Don't move if you come any closer I'm going to throw her over." Michiru is trying to free herself to no avail"I hope you know that you're never gonna get away with this" Mimura looks at Michiru in anger"This is all you're doing! If you hadn't been snooping around, none of this would have ever happened." Mimura faces the police again "Look, if you want to save her, give me a 100 million yen and a helicopter to escape!" Yuji frowns"That's impossible." from behind Mimura and Michiru, Kuro flies up and is about to attack but Mimura sees him and smacks him away"Kuro!" Mimura tightens his tail around Michiru's neck"Don't underestimate the peripheral vision of a chameleon. Try anything weird and you die. Give me my money and my helicopter!"
Michiru would have been able to get out of there if she could transform but when she tried to transform earlier, Mimura bated the Tora medal out of her hand. Good news, Yuji grabbed it so she wouldn't have to worry about it getting lost. The bad news, without the medal she can't transform. Just then, something in the sky caught her eye. it looked like a red hawk but open closer inspection it looked like some kind of robot. It also had...another core medal!
The hawk robot dropped the medal in Michiru's direction. ' If I can get out of here, I can use the medal and transform into OOO. There's gotta be a way out.'
Michiru remembers when she made her arms grow. 'if only I could make my arms stretch like before' as if called by her will, her arms stretched like when she was saving those children. She hits Mimura with her elongated arms, causing him to drop her. While falling, Michiru reaches for the medal and grabs it. 'please be something that can help!' she inserts the medal and turns the driver sideways. She then grabs the scanner and swipes it along the driver "Henshin!"
Taka! Kamakiri! Batta!
Michiru then transforms into OOO but the form is slightly different. where the tiger part would usually be, there was a mantis and the color was a light green.
The mantis part of OOO's Armor glowed and two mantis-like swords, the Kamakirswords, appeared in Michiru's hands. "Perfect!" OOO stabs the Kamakiriswords into the side of the building, slowing down her descent until her feet touched the ledge of the building. After removing the Kamakiriswords from the wall, OOO let out a sigh of relief "Thank goodness." OOO then looks around for the hawk robot "Where did that robot go?" OOO then shakes her head "Focus, worry about that later. Right now, I've got a chameleon to kick." As OOO prepares to make a jump, her legs start to glow. When Michiru jumps, she rockets up to the roof.
Back on the said roof, Shirou came just as Michirou started falling. He was about to jump and save her when a red and green streak flew into the air. When he looked up he saw OOO with her new form. OOO then delivers a flying kick to Mimura's face. The impact and power of the kick sent Mimura skidding and tumbling into a wall. OOO looks back at Shirou "Finished with Yaba already?" Shirou looks stunned for a bit before composing himself. "Yeah, the police should have him covered."
When Mimura gets his bearings he sees OOO with her arms crossed. "What the-who the hell are you?!" OOO huffs "Hmph... I'm Kamen Rider OOO and FYI: it's not nice to throw people off a tower." Mimura's eyes widen "Luckily for you, you're not worth my time. I'll have the police deal with you. Buckle up because while I'm not a cop, I can tell you are going away for a long while." OOO looks back at Yuji as a couple of officers go to cuff Mimura. "Is that actually you Michiru?" OOO chuckles at this "Surprising I know but, yeah it's me. However, when I'm like this, I go by Kamen Rider OOO." Yuji looked surprised before one of his men came with the Medajaribur. "Oh, I think this is yours. I saw that you had it and grabbed it. Had this guy hold on to it for you." He thanked the officer before giving the Medajaribur to OOO, who thanked him.
As they are talking Mimura is looking at OOO in hatred 'Damn it, if that girl never showed up this wouldn't have happened.' he spots both officers approaching him with a taser in their pockets. Before they could react, Mimura knocked off their feet and stole both tasers. He sets both to the max and fires them at OOO. Yuji spotted this "Michiru look out!" OOO looks behind her and sees the cables about to reach her. Before they could, Shirou got in front of OOO and took the maximum electricity of both tasers. Shirou grunted in slight pain. "Shirou!" Acting fast, OOO inserted three cell medals into the Medajaribur before flipping over Shirou. In one fluid motion, OOO took the scanner, swiped it along to Medajaribur, and slashed the cables with an energy slash that seemed to split the world around the slash before fixing itself.
!TRIPLE SCANNING CHARGE!
With that, the cables were severed and Shirou was no longer being shocked. Having cut the cables, OOO flips midair before delivering an axe kick to Mimura's head. The attack buries Mimura's head into the ground. The chameleon beastmen promptly lost consciousness, whether it was from getting knocked in the head or from the extreme pain was anybody's guess. Now that Mimura was incapacitated, OOO rushed over to check on Shirou. "Shirou are you okay?!" Shirou rips out the severed cables that were on him "Yeah" Yuji comes forward "Ogami, just stay still. Those Tasers were new and weren't supposed to be used with two at once at maximum power. We'll get you treated at the hospital."
Shirou just stands up and walks away as if that never happened. "No, I'm fine." OOO runs after him while canceling the transformation. "Are you really ok?" Shirou dismissed her worries. "I'm not gonna die-" He suddenly grunts in pain and looks like he's about to fall but Michiru catches him. "Hey um... wanted to say, thanks for taking the tasers for me." Shirou looks up "I promised, didn't I? That I'd protect the beastmen." Michiru looked at him surprised before smiling at Shirou.
B CO-OP
The next day, Michiru and Shirou were talking with Mayor Rose. Shirou had some bandages wrapped around his head. "Yama and Mimura confessed to the crime. They were working together to embezzle assets from the medical center. They found out that the upper management had noticed and bombed the center's data system. They hired some criminals and staged a fake bombing so they could erase all the data that exposed the embezzlement." Michiru doesn't look too sure. "I'm not sure that's all though."
Mayor Rose looks at Michiru in confusion "What do you mean?" Michiru thinks back to Mimura "Well you know that man, Mimura, It was strange how much hatred he had. I mean, he bombed his own laboratory just to save himself, that's completely insane. It seems like adults are always trying to hide things that are inconvenient to them. It's pathetic." Shirou looks at Michiru "Are you talking about me?" Michiru shrugs her shoulders "Well..." Shirou sighs "I'm sorry, I won't lock you up anymore." Michiru looked extremely shocked at that "What" Shirou didn't know what the big deal was"It's just that you were such a pain about it before."
Shirou looked away. "I don't want you to think I'm like those guys. Just make sure you don't tell anyone about your Beastmanitise." Michiru smiles at him, grateful, and nods " , I'm going to investigate treatment methods for you as well." Michiru looks at the mayor confused so Shirou explains. "She's an authority in Beastman Genetic Research. She's the first beastman to ever earn a doctorate." Mayor Rose smiled at the mentions of her accomplishments "That's true but I'm a politician now. My research is how I was able to build a strong relationship with Sylvasta Pharmaceutical. Which is why they also provided support for founding Anima City."
"That's incredible." Michiru is amazed that Mayor Rose accomplished so much"Be careful around Sylvasta Pharmaceutical, there's something suspicious about them." Michiru looks at Shirou"What do you mean?" Shirou just crossed his arms "I don't have a reason. My nose just gives me that impression." Michiru can't resist an opportunity to tease the wolf beastman "Oh, animal instincts." Shirou stands up and narrows his eyes "Wait, are you mocking me?" Michiru shrugs her shoulder with an innocent smile" Of course not." Mayor Rose chuckles at their antics.
?
Meanwhile, Kousei Kougami was watching Michiru's latest adventure. "Very good , you used the Kamakiri medal well. It would seem that our crafted core medals work well for you. However, that was your last freebie. If you want more you will have to turn them. Luckily for you, I have many ways to give you the chance to earn them." Kougami looks at his tablet and sees the schematic for robots with familiar-looking designs. A text was on the top titled 'Robo-Greeed'.
AN: Hey everyone Dragon here and after probably half a year I have finally been able to add another chapter of 'A Beasman's Desire'. I am SO sorry it has taken me this long. I've been busy with school along with working on chapters for my other stories 'Kaigan! Yo-Kai!' and 'The Demon Realm's Final Hope.' the latter of the two I am almost done with a new chapter. I thought long and hard about how Michiru would obtain more cell medals and thought of a good way. In short, Kougami will send robots of the Greeed to fight Michiru solely and if she defeats them, she will obtain a new core medal. It doesn't seem like something totally out of character for Kougami but feel free to think otherwise. Anyway, I hope you all enjoyed this chapter and will continue to like the future ones to come. Till then, See Ya!
