Now the spotlight is aimed at the Greed after successfully capturing the transport truck while putting O's and Ankh out of the way. This chapter will close up this arc but will pave way for a new one which will bring a lot od suspenseful moments and what will happen to the Greed...
Suddenly, Ankh "busts" in and is heading for whoever is reading this fanfic...
Ankh: "You! Enji 86! How dare you call me "almost useless everytime"? Come here and face me! I'll show you who's useless!"
Kyuji: "Wah! Ankh, calm down! you'll scare the reviewers away!"
Ankh: "Let go! I'll show that reviewer who's useless! How can I be useless? If not for me you wouldn't become O's at this point!"
Kyuji: "Ankh...let the readers decide...er...Mask Rider Roy...go on ahead..."
Ankh: "I'm not through with you yet, Enji 86! When I get my Core Medals and my body back...I'LL EAT YOU ALIVE! YOU HEAR ME?"
Kyuji: "Wah! Ankh...knock it out!"
Er...sorry about that...Ankh is very sensitive when it comes to "harsh critics"...
Anyway...let's begin...
Gotoh chose not to give up and ordered his platoon to protect the truck and a fight ensued, but like Gotoh expected, it was a vain fight, as Uva electrocuted the platoon to death and so did Mezeru, but then O's and Ankh arrived and began to provide support and soon the survivors began to hold the fort and kept the Greed at bay, until an unexpected scene came, as Shiho emerged from the transport truck and is still dazed yet she became aware of what she walked in to.
"Uhn…"
"Shiho!"
"It can't be…"
"Kyuji…? Ankh…?"
O's and Ankh are astonished to see her come out when they couldn't find her earlier, and even Gotoh is surprised, realizing that O's statements about someone wanting to kill her within Kougami's properties, which included the transport truck, and a flashback scene shows that while Shiho is on the road earlier in the day, Kazari, in his Greed form, knocked her out with a light blow on the back of her head and sneaked his way through the Kougami Foundation and secretly placed her inside one of the truck's compartment and hid her there so that no one would find her.
The distraction is enough for Gameru to knock O's aside and accidentally rammed Shiho, causing her to fall back inside the truck's compartment and gets knocked out again, and with O's distracted, Kazari emerges and uses his mini-cyclones to knock O's back, and Mezeru did the same with her hydraulic attacks, which the combined attacks are enough to damage him and revert to normal, while dropping the Kuwagata and the Gorilla Medals.
Kyuji managed to grab the Batta Medal but was knocked aside and fell off the bridge, while Ankh evades Uva's electrical attacks, accidentally dropping the Kamakiri, Sai and Zou Medals before escaping as well. By then Gotoh's platoon was wiped out with Gotoh being the only one to survive and managed to hid away from sight as Uva and Gameru took the truck and sped away leaving Kazari and Mezeru behind.
-x-
As Gotoh hid behind a wrecked van, he looked on as Uva and Gameru commandeered the transport truck and leaves Kazari and Mezeru behind, and he started to wonder what is going on, as he assumed that the Greed would leave together and split up the Cell Medals they took, but with the two Greed left behind, he felt that something is odd and opted to stay hidden and see what is going on.
"That's odd...why would the other two stay behind since they normally would go together and split the Cell medals among them...? Better stay hidden and see how this plays out..."
Moreover, he sensed that the two Greed left behind may have played a role on how Shiho was hidden inside the transport truck and why he and Kyuji couldn't find her in the first place. Now is the chance for him to help and see if there is a connection or not. If he guesses that the Greed might fight among themselves just to get the bigger share of the loot, then this would make things easier for him and Kyuji to make a comeback and defeat the Greed at their own game.

The scene then shifts to a nearby shore where Ankh emerged from the waters and found Kyuji unconscious. He get to him and forcefully waked him up, and there the two got in to an argument over their predicament and after a verbal conflict, the two gotten physical and a fight is about to ensue, seemingly breaking their alliance and are about to go all-out.
"Wake up, you fool! Look at the mess you got us into!"
"What?"
"You heard me! Not only did they took off with the truck…so are the chances of getting my Core Medals back!"
"Don't look at me! We were ambushed!"
"Screw with the alibi! I'm going to eat you!"
"Then you better have a good stomach…I won't be easy to digest!"
"Then after I eat you, I'll find someone who can become O's to obey my command!"
"Then bring it on!"
And there the two began punching each other out, emotions running high and seemingly forget what they are supposed to do next.
-x-
The scene then shifts to the road as they just emerged from the tunnel and are now heading towards their destination as per Kazari's instruction. With Uva and Gameru getting a head start in heading somewhere with the transport truck in tow, the scene shifts to Mezeru as she suspected something from Kazari as she felt that their plan was almost too easy, as she expected that O's would put up a resistance yet she and the other Greed easily overpowered him and drove Ankh away.
This is too good to be true and decided to get answers from the feline Greed, especially after he knew of the route the transport truck is heading and how the Greed are able to anticipate their arrival.
"Kazari…I need to ask you something…"
"Which is…?"
"How do you know about the truck's route and that O's and Ankh are tagging along with the convoy?"
"Didn't I tell you how I figured that out?"
"It was too easy…"
"All the better…"
"Are you hiding something? Or do you have an ulterior motive?"
"Are you accusing me? I feel insulted after the effort I give to help us to get a lot of supply…I was expecting some gratitude for all I have done…"
At first Kazari felt "insulted" at the marine-Greed's accusation and tells her that he did his "homework" on helping his fellow Greed in getting some "ration" in order to sustain themselves, in which she felt that Kazari is telling the truth and is about to stop her suspicion when he jabbed his talons on her gut, and took her Core Medals – the Unagi, Tako, Shumokuzame, Mofu, and Ika Medals – out of her and she staggered back as her body armor "evaporated" and she is greatly weakened, though she managed to retain her remaining Shaichi Medal but she is now "bleeding" Cell medals profusely.
"UHNF…Kazari…what…are you…?"
"I guess this is punishment for not trusting me…but then again…who cares…I take things from here…and your Core Medals are just the start…I'll take your life as well…"
"Then all of this…"
"Part of my plan…and after getting Uva's Core Medals…that leaves Gameru to be my servant…he'll dop anything for your sake…"
"You…won't…get away…with…this…"
"I just did…"
"I won't bow to you…"
"Then die…"
As Kazari is about to assault her again, Mezeru blasts him with her hydraulic blasts, and made her escape, and when he recovered, he opted not to go after her as he got what he intended for, and decided to take his leave as well, not bothered at the weakened marine-Greed's escape as she doesn't pose a threat to him. As he left, Gotoh came out, surprised to see this and wondered if a dissension is taking place, yet he sees this as a good opportunity to help defeat one of them and decided to contact the Kougami Foundation and inform them of what happened, and hoped that Kougami himself would take things seriously especially now that the Greed has the 1000 Cell Medals in their possession.
-x-
At the Kougami Foundation, Erika Satonaka came and tells Kousei Kougami about Gotoh's call and about the Greed taking the transport truck, yet Kougami is least bothered by it, yet his facial expression turned serious for a moment before he tells her to "bring in the applicant" as he felt that now is the time, and there he tells her to contact Dr. Maki immediately.
"Mr. President…I got a call from Gotoh…it seems that the Greed have taken the transport truck…and said that two if the Greed left behind are fighting among themselves…the one called Kazari took the female Greed's Core Medals…and…well…"
"I know. It is fine."
"What next?"
"Bring in the applicant."
"Okay…"
"And put Maki on the line."
"Very well…there…Maki is online…"
"Maki!"
"Yes, Kougami…"
As Erika did so, Kougami and Maki are now online and are discussing about the situation and soon both came to an agreement as Maki said that the "project" is near completion and will require a test to see if the so-called project is ready to be used, and while there is no mention about the 1000 Cell Medals being hijacked, neither men are bothered by it and soon the discussion ended with a smile from Kougami while Maki looked deadpan at the result of their discussion.
"I see…so you have put this new weapon in prototype form…"
"Yes…but it needs a few more tweaks…and a volunteer…to see if he can put this weapon I developed to use and to know if he is ready for it…"
"Splendid! Splendid indeed! Tell me what else you need and I'll provide it!"
"Can you provide more data on O's recent battles? I can compare the data you sent with the data I have…"
"Consider it done!"
"Then let me know when this applicant be available…"
"You will see him soon!"
"Then everything will work out for the best."
"HAPPY BIRTHDAY!"
-x-
At an abandoned warehouse, Uva and Gameru are waiting for their two fellow Greed to arrive after arriving several minutes ago (about 15 minutes), and wondered what is keeping them for so long as they resisted not to touch the stolen loot until they are all here and then split them among the four. Gameru is starting to wonder where Mezeru is while Uva is waiting yet he is starting to get impatient with their late arrival.
"Where is Mezeru? Where is she? Why isn't she here yet?"
"How should I know?"
"You look for her…"
"I'm not her nanny! Why don't you go look for her…?"
By then Kazari arrived and is "limping", as he managed to get Uva and Gameru's attentions, as he feign injury claiming that O's recovered and took his Core medals while Mezeru stayed behind to deal with O's, and said she'll eventually head here. Gameru hearing this made him concerned and rushes out to find her and leaves Kazari and Uva to guard the truck, unaware of the deception that the feline-Greed made.
"Ow…ow…"
"Kazari! What happened? And Where's Mezeru?"
"O's got back…and we fought…Mezeru said she'll catch up after she defeat him…"
"Then Gameru go and find her!"
"Wait, Gameru…!"
"Gameru go! Gameru go! Will come to save Mezeru!"
"Hmph! There he goes…wait…why did you leave her by herself?"
"She insisted…and O's whipped me pretty good…"
"Yet you didn't lose any Core Medals…"
As Uva questions Kazari on why he left Mezeru behind, the feline-Greed managed to lie his way through, which causes the insect-Greed to look at the door, lowering his guard enough for the feline-Greed to take the initiative, and attacked him from behind, which Uva managed to see through and defended himself from Kazari's attack, realizing that he has been deceived.
"Huh? Whoa!"
"Whoops…I missed…"
"You…so you lied!"
"So what?"
"What did you do to Mezeru?"
"I don't know…"
"Whatever…if you're attacking me to claim the loot…forget it! I'll take them by myself!"
"Don't be too greedy…that's too much for a Greed…"
As the two fought, Uva managed to dodge most of Kazari's attacks, and retaliated with his electrical attacks, but the feline-Greed found an opening and uses his mini-cyclone attacks and pinned him down enough to steal the Suzumebachi Medal, yet Uva managed to get away and is forced to flee, not wanting to risk losing his remaining Core Medals in his possession. Kazari wasn't bothered as he let him go for he is waiting for someone to come back.
"Fine…go…I'll need you later…right now there is someone else I'll be needing…"
Kazari glances at the Core Medals he has taken from his fellow Greed and is pleased that things are going his way. The scene zooms in on his hand and shows the Core Medals that Kazari stolen – Unagi, Tako, Shumokuzame, Mofu, Ika, Kuwagata, Kamakiri, and Gorilla Medals. By then Gameru came back just as Kazari hid the Core Medals inside his body and there he feigned innocence as the heavy animal-Greed told him that he can't find Mezeru.
"Ah, Gameru…"
"Gameru can't find Mezeru! Gameru can't find Mezeru! Gameru can't find Mezeru!"
"Don't cry…we'll find her…"
"But…but… Gameru can't find Mezeru! Gameru can't find Mezeru! Gameru can't find Mezeru!"
"We will find her…and I know how to find her…"
"Really…?"
"Yes…just follow my lead…"
"Kazari be leader…Gameru be follower…"
"Good boy, Gameru…"
Kazari then tells Gameru that he will help find Mezeru and said that he knows who can help in finding her. Gameru nodded because he is easily duped, having no idea what he is getting suckered into as the two Greed are heading for the transport truck, getting ready to leave.

The scene shifts to the highway just after passing by the tunnel, where Ankh and Kyuji are riding on their ride Vendors in motorcycle modes, as they are following the Taka Candroids' leads, as their signal beeped and are homed on the transport truck's signal, as well as the wristwatch Shiho is wearing, as it has a hidden transmitter which Ankh learned that the wristwatch he is wearing can also pick up the signal and have it traced in conjunction with the Taka Candroids'.
"The signal is leading us nearby…follow closely, Kyuji…"
"Okay…"
"You'd better be right about what you say…"
"Of course!"
"And don't forget our agreement…"
"I know…get you're Core Medals back…"
"And the ice cream…"
"Yeah, yeah…"
A brief flashback is shown that several minutes ago, after getting into a fight, the two came to a stop when Ankh's wristwatch, which belonged to Shinichi, beeped and it shows a tracking device that can help trace her whereabouts, then several Taka Candroids arrived and showed to them where the transport truck can be found, while Kyuji came up with an idea, which he promised that aside from retrieving his Core Medals, Ankh will get a year's worth of ice cream, which Ankh accepted.
As the two traveled, they found Shiho coming out of the warehouse, who appeared to be unharmed, save for a bruise on her forehead courtesy of Gameru, and there she told them that Kazari allowed her to leave as he and Gameru made off with the transport truck, and when Kyuji tries to trace the truck's signal, he finds out that the signal has been jammed, and now they couldn't figure out where the truck has been taken and they are now in a set back as to what would the Greed be doing with 1000 Cell Medals, unaware that Kazari double-crossed both Uva and Mezeru.
When Kyuji asked her if any member of the Black Organization is involved, Shiho said that there is no one here, and said that before she lost consciousness, she was able to see Kazari moving behind her before knocking her out, and they realized that Kazari set them up with the "white lie" of the BO being involved, but is relieved that they can now focus solely on the Greed.
-x-
At Maki's office, Dr. Maki got a phone call from Kazari, informing him that he is on his way with the transport truck, and a "container" that would be the final phase of the "experiment", which Maki nodded and instructed the feline-Greed to proceed and remain in human guise for now, which Kazari responded accordingly as he reminded Maki of the "reward" he would receive for his role.
"Hello…?"
"Is that you, Maki?"
"Yes, Kazari…how are things there?"
"Good. I got the truck with the Cell Medals…"
"Good. I trust you won't touch them…"
"I resisted so far…provided that you keep the end of your bargain…"
"Then you will get what we agreed on."
"And…I brought a container…for your experiment…and believe me…you'll be pleased with the container I've brought…he is strong enough to contain what you have in mind…"
"Excellent…and you know where to go."
"Yes…and we're on our way…"
To Be Continued…
This ends this arc in a cliffhanger…
Yeah, I know…the bad guys got away scot-free with the loot, but in a very controversial way as Kazari betrayed Mezeru and Uva…yet he took Gameru with him as he is up to no good. And with Maki as his conspirator, you'll soon find out what kind of result the two are hatching and what are they going to do with 1000 Cell Medals…
And Kazari is really a deceitful liar...claiming that the Black organization kidnapped her, only to be revealed that it was a hoax...
But be patient, readers...the BO will appear more frequently starting chapter 111 of this fic...yup...more are on the way...
Preview:
A new story arc that serves as a follow-up…and to see what will happen if a Greed gets all of his Core Medals…but see what happens if he gets more than the supposed limit of taking in Core Medals (a Greed can only accommodate NINE Core Medals…so what would happen if he possesses MORE THAN nine Core Medals)?
And…a NEWCOMER…that's right, a newcomer…will be introduced here…whether be a new ally for O's or an opponent…the answer will be shown in the next arc…
