Part 3 of this arc takes things to a conflicted turn as portions of Kyuji's past is slowly revealed...

Ankh saw what Gotoh just did and is "worried" at his "pawn's" fate even though O's form can withstand any form of human armaments but the blast may result in either O's or the Yummy to get weakened to a degree and hoped that the Yummy would take the bigger brunt of the blast, though he started to mentally question Gotoh's actions.

"That human...what is he thinking? More importantly...what is he up to?".

As the smoke cleared after a few minutes of impact from Gotoh's bazooka attack, it is shown that the Ageha Yummy evaded the blast and Gotoh's attack, while O's ended up taking the brunt of the hit which weakened him to a degree and the Yummy took advantage of this and attacked its target which slowly overpowers O's and Ankh realized that he has to do something to save his "pawn". He then detaches himself from Shinichi's body and distracted the Yummy long enough to give O's time to recover.

"Are you okay?"

"Yeah..."

"Use these...! At least they don't form a straight combo like Kazari's and Uva's!"

"Got it...!"

Seeing that O's needed to get a comeback, Ankh threw three of Mezeru's Core Medals at him in order to give him a means to counterattack, but then Gameru shows up and grabbed the three Core Medals before O's could get them, and now the problem worsens as the Yummy further pummeled O's repeatedly and Kyuji realized that he has to do something or else he'll lose more than his life. He needed to make a move now or all will be lost and he can't afford to lose to them.

"Got it! Gameru got the medals! Mezeru will be happy!"

"Blast! It's Gameru! Where did he come from? No matter...got to get rid of those two...hmm...maybe this would at least chase them away...!"

Thinking fast, O's tapped onto the Lion Medal's powers and his helmet shone brightly, it's intensity is enough to drive Gameru and the Ageha Yummy away, but despite this, they made off with the Shumokuzame, Mofu and Ika Medals, yet O's got a respite as he removed the Core Medals from the O-Driver and reverted back to normal. He then saw Gotoh and attempts to help him but is shoved back.

"Hey...are you okay?"

"Let go! I don't need your help!"

As Kyuji looked baffled, Ankh grabbed Gotoh by his collar, demanding an explanation as to why he shot O's with the bazooka, triggering a word war between the two.

"You fool! Why did you hit O's?"

"Don't look at me...he got in my way..."

"You..."

"Anyway...he's not worthy of protecting and saving the world from the Greed...I am."

"Are you crazy? What can you do to pull that off?"

"If I have a power that rival O's...then I can pull it off!"

Ankh is rather peeved at Gotoh's petty reason about Kyuji being an "unworthy savior", but seeing that his words are justifiable, Kyuji made his comments which surprised both Ankh and Gotoh. Kyuji suggested that he would let Gotoh use the O-Driver so he would know what it feels like using O's power though Gotoh thought he is bluffing.

"If so...then I won't mind if I let you borrow O's power..."
"What? Are you mocking me?"
"Well...I'm just doing what I can right now...I know! Let's work together! We can save the world together!"
"You two are both crazy!"
"Well...it seems that you two get to agree for once..."
Ankh and Goth glanced at each other before glancing at Kyuji, and by then, Ankh verbally intervenes and tells the two that only Kyuji can access to the O-Driver because he is the only one who broke the seal that sealed the Greed 800 years ago, and this made Gotoh feeling dejected so he took his leave while Kyuji and Ankh prepare to head back to the Agasa house.

At the hideout, the Greed, minus Kazari, are assembled as Gameru arrived and gives Mezeru the three Core Medals which she graciously took and re-absorbed them into her body, regaining most of her body armor and "cuddled" the heavy animal-type Greed which he is thrilled by the feeling, happy that he gets to impress her and even earned Uva's praise.

"Good job, Gameru"

"Eh-he-he-he..."

"Good job...and I'm pleased with your work..."

"Yes...very impressive, Gameru...you managed to get things right, for once..."

"Ah...Uva...how are things going...?"

"O's got in the way."

By then, Gameru proclaims that he will beat O's which Uva offers to help as he urged Mezeru to stay as she might risk losing her Core Medals again which she wisely agreed to. As the two left, she noted that Kazari hasn't been seen for almost a week, and wondered what he is up to, having becoming suspicious as he has not returned yet after the airship incident at Nara. She, along with the two other Greed, are unaware of Kazari's secret alliance with Kiyoto Maki.

At the Kougami Foundation, Kougami berates Gotoh for his actions despite his best efforts to cover up for his deeds as the president of the foundation knows what really happened having watching the events through his monitor PC, which even Satonaka berates Gotoh for his behavior and he deserves to be punished so as he would "wise up".

"I deeply apologized for my actions, sir."

"President...you should do something...his actions are becoming a real problem for us!"

"Yes...a problem indeed...wonderful. Trying to defeat a Yummy without my permission or approval..."

"I deeply apologize..."

"VERY WONDERFUL! A NEW GOTOH IS BORN! CONGRATULATIONS!"

Despite having a remorseful tone, Gotoh tells Kougami his intent, and he got his reply.

"If...if only there is a system that allowed one to control the power of the medals...please let me have it!"

"Only Maki can answer that...it is still in development...but I'm impressed by your request...so my response is...a punishment."

Gotoh looked shocked at the reply, but then he is given a reprieve.

"For now…the punishment is…you are suspended...or rather...under house arrest. And that will be enforced until you redeemed yourself in my eyes. That's all. Now leave."

After some five minutes Gotoh is at the basement parking area, feeling dejected and wondered where he went wrong, and there Maki shows up, taunting him again. Of course, Gotoh is pissed as he suspected that Maki is playing him for a fool.

"Going home after being served a suspension? What a poor guy..."

"Leave me alone! I bet you made me do the wrong thing!"

"Like you said...if a system is created to control the medals' power, even humans could use them...I thought you were interested in that, Gotoh..."

"Is it completed?"

"What if it were...?"

"Then let me use that system!"

"Only if I believe you are worthy."

Gotoh went silent as he is reminded by what Kougami told him: "Redeem yourself". There Maki spoke again.

"Everything ends. Decisions are made based on results."

Meanwhile, Nenene got a lot of endorsements and her desire to write more became stronger and it powers up the Yummy and she wanted this to go on so as she won't have to suffer from writer's block again, though a part of her felt that something is missing yet her desire to write more overpowers that missing part of hers.

-x-

At the Agasa house, Shiho checks on the news internet where several amateur writers have reportedly went into a coma while reading an article about Nenene Sumiregawa's "comeback" on the publishing industry, having read some of her past novels and other writing. She also heard of her recent "writer's block" and then noticed about her "comeback" and the writers' reported comatose along with the Yummy attacks. She slowly wondered if they are connected or not.

"Hmm...many of these writers fell into a coma...and the Yummy is targeting them...but why? I don't suppose that Ms. Sumiregawa is involved...but then...she is a talented writer...is said to be suffering from writer's block...but now she's making a comeback...and if the Yummy is involved in this mess..."

By then Kyuji and Ankh returned and there he told her about the latest victim they saved from a Yummy attack and there she tells him her suspicions though both agreed that they needed proof before coming to a conclusion.

"We just saved a victim before being attacked by the Yummy..."

"...good..."

"Then..."

"Gotoh is starting to become a nuisance..."

"But then...I don't blame him...he needs to realize that I wanted to help..."

"Easier said than done..."

At the bedroom, Ankh checks on the Core Medals he have in his possession and despite possessing some of Uva and Kazari's, losing Mezeru's Core Medals proved to be a partial blow considering the agility of the Ageha Yummy has and he wondered how to defeat it.

"Things would escalate if that Yummy isn't brought down by then...I wonder how to help Kyuji defeat it...?"

By then he recalled O's battle with the Bison Yummy and a thought hit him.

"Hmm...I suppose we should get Gameru's Core Medals...though not as fast as Kazari's or long-ranged like Uva's...Gameru's attributes my well be suited for that kind of situation...now if only I could come up with a plan to get closer to him for Kyuji to steal them..."

Back downstairs, Shiho and Kyuji are discussing about what to do next when Nenene came and found Kyuji, and introduces herself which he accepted her handshake, and then she gets to the point and tells him her intention.

"Kyuji Hino? I'm Nenene Sumiregawa..."

"Yes...I heard of you...pleased to meet you..."

"So do I...but I decided to get to the point...I have a proposition for you..."

Nenene tells Kyuji that she has learned about his past about him getting embroiled in a civil war overseas and she intends to use it in her story for her next article which he responded by saying he needed to think about it.

"Well...I need to think about that carefully..."

"Very well...here's my card...call me once you have decided..."

"Thanks..."

Giving him her card, Nenene leaves just as Ankh came down and said that he had just sensed the Yummy's host. By then Shiho and Kyuji slowly realized that Nenene is the Yummuy's host and after some discussion they learned that she is connected to the writers' current conditions and Nenene may have indirectly caused all of these to happen.

"Kyuji...I sensed a human who is the Yummy's host!"

"Eh?"

"Nenene Sumiregawa just left...no...so she's the Yummuy's host?"

"But...why would..."

"Maybe because of her writer's block and her desire to write again...it attracted the Greed's attention..."

"Who cares...I'm going after it...! Eh? I sensed a Yummy! It's nearby! Kyuji, let's go!"

By then, Ankh sensed the Yummy's presence nearby and ran outside to follow it with Kyuji following, and Shiho decided to go and find Nenene and make her realize the true nature of what is happening.

To Be Continued...

Poor Gotoh...got suspended...

Kyuji and Ankh learned of the Yummy's host...

Now they are going to stop the Ageha Yummy this time...
