i love this story, I look forward to every new chapter

[JFC]

It's great how M is the comic relief AND the main character of the story. It definitely keeps things interesting. Best one was when he asked if he could manipulate the girls' memories so they wouldn't call him HG.  

Other than that, ziggy pretty much covered it.

[Aioros]

M charged his hands and punched the Wild Fan repeatedly. The Wild Fan was pushed away, dropped on the ground and was motionless. But when M approached him, he stood up and kicked M. But M was able to dodge this time. M went behind him and released an electric surge aimed at his enemy's head. The Wild Fan winced, but did not get hurt. He tried to hit M again but M was able to move out of his range.

"The electrical shocks don't work. Hmm, looks like I 'll be able to use this after all." M said as he took out a ring from his pocket and placed it on his index finger.

Flashback

"Hey Dan, how come I don't get to have gadgets like the other guys?" M asked as he sat on the chair, waiting for the upgrade to finish.
"You don't need any." answered Dan.
"Come on, it's unfair. I'm the main character and I don't have any fancy stuff."
"If you insist, you can have that." Dan said as he pointed at a pile of boxes.
"What's inside those boxes? Something like S's hammer or D's shoes?"
"No. They're just plain boxes."
"So, what am I gonna do with 'em?"
"You can use those boxes for stealth."
"Really? How?"
"Ever heard of Metal Gear and Solid Snake? You can use those boxes to sneak past your enemies."
"What the? Never mind."
"Haha. Okay, I'll give you something."Dan said as he moved towards one of the cabinets. He logged his password and it opened. He took something and went back to M.
"What's that?"
"It's a ring."
"So now you're the one hitting on me."
"Fool. It's not an ordinary ring. Do you want it?"
"What does it do?"
"It's an Elemental Converter."
"A what? A regional converter? For DVDs?"
"An Elemental Converter. You can use it to change the type of attack you use. You use electric attacks right? With this, you can have wind, water, fire and a bunch of other attacks."
"Cool!" M said as he grabbed it from Dan. "It's mine now."
"But I have to warn you, we haven't tested it yet so be careful."
"Now, why do I suddenly feel like a Pokemon?"
"Just now? Don't you feel like Pikachu when you were using electricity?"
"Wiseass-chu!"

***
"I hope this works." M said as he charged his fist with the ring now on his finger.
"Flame Power!" he shouted as he raised his arm but just a bunch of sparks flew out. The Wild Fan laughed and attacked him but he was able to dodge again.

"Dan, if I ever get out of here alive, I'm..." M said to himself. He didn't realize that his thumb clicked a certain part of the ring to another direction. Next thing he knew was that his entire arm was engulfed with flame.

"My hand is on fire! My hand is on fire!" He tried to blow and wave it off but the flame just kept getting stronger. It was then he noticed that he wasn't getting burned.

"WHOA! Now how did I do that?" He looked at the ring and saw that the silver spot it had before was now red. He clicked it towards the opposite direction and not the red spot turned to white. The flame vanished. M waved his hand towards his opponent and a gust of wind blew the Wild Fan a few steps back. He then clicked the ring again, turning the white spot into blue. He aimed his left palm towards and the Wild Fan was bombarded with ice fragments, similar to Iceman's Arctic Attack in those Capcom games. M grinned like a kid who was able to do the Shoryuken motion for the very first time.

"Hey hey hey! Look what I have here!"

M clicked the to ring white, charged his fist and blasted the Wild Fan with a tornado. Once the Wild Fan was caught inside, M switched the ring to fire mode, trapping the Wild Fan inside a burning cyclone. M leaped and switched the ring into blue, its water mode. A blade made of ice suddenly covered his arm as he lunged towards his opponent and in one swift motion, struck him a couple of times before finishing the attack with a electric powered roundhouse kick. The Wild Fan hit the wall and bounced off it. It was on the ground again but this time it didn't stand up. And slowly, it was changing to his human form.

"45-hit Original Super Art Hyper Combo Finish!" exclaimed M. "Now to get his camera and erase his memory."

M walked closer to his downed opponent and was thinking of kind of story he was going place in his memory.

"I know! He was going to buy Ishikawa-san's new PB but then an angry mob of her fans came running from behind and he got trampled upon. Or this guy in a pink spandex sentai outfit suddenly jumped him from behind after he said that Ishikawa-san's PB sucked. Yeah, either of the two will work."

He proceeded according to plan. After getting the camera and erasing his memory, M headed home.

"Hey guys, you won't believe what happened!" M said as he entered their room.
"We know. They're using a new kind of drug." K said.
"But it's still Graft, isn't it?"
"Of course. Possibly it's just a variation of Graft. A slight alteration of the current formula can produce these kinds of results." S said.
"I see. Where's D? I don't see him around."
"Don't bother him. He had a rough night." K said.
"He got hit on the face." S added.
"Really? But he had his shield on right? Did it break?"
"No. But he still got hit in the face. He got hit the first time which means our enemies got stronger too."
"All right. I won't rub it in. By the way check this out." M said as he showed them the ring. "Dan gave this to me. He said it's some sort of a converter and guess what it does?"
"You mean it worked when you used it?" K asked.
"Of course! I thought Dan gave me something useless and I thought my hand was going to get burned off but after I figured out how it works, it was easy.
"So the ring finally found its master..." S said.
"Hey! I don't like the sound of that! It's like you're telling that I'm Gollum or something."
"No. To tell you the truth, no one has ever been able to make that ring work before. Not even H. And he has the most advanced Frame." added S.
"Really. So it won't work for you or K or D too?"
"Yes."
"That's too bad."
"I don't get it. Now you have a fancy item and you're still not happy?" K asked.
"You see I was planning to trade it for S's glasses but since it won't work for him, it'll be just a bad trade.....Hey look at the time, see you guys later, Gaki-san must be upstairs already."

***
Risa was indeed on the rooftop already. Her hands were on her chin as she leaned on the ledge.
"Sorry I'm late Gaki-san."
"No need to apologize Michii-kun. I just got here as well."
"Okay. Hey, I saw your new PV."
"Ehh? New PV?"
"The one with Iida-san, Abe-san, Goto-san and Kusumi-san."
"Oh yeah. So how'd you like it?"
"It was great."
"Thanks."
"You looked great."
"Ehh?"
"Nothing."
"..."
"..."
"Hey, that's a nice ring. Where'd you get it? Don't tell me you got it from that girl from before?"
"Of course not. A friend gave it to me. He said it'll keep me from being accident prone."
"Haha. Then that ring will surely be useful. I wish I has something like that to protect me."
"You won't need it Gaki-san."
"Huh? Why'd you say that?"
"You won't be needing something like this to protect you. Because you already have me."
"..."
"Ummm, Gaki-san, can I ask you a question?"
"Sure."
"I wanted to ask you this a long time ago but I didn't have the courage to do so."
"Go ahead."
"Ummm, how did you feel when you were shooting your second PB? You know, when you were wearing those bikinis?"
"Eeeehhh?"
"..." M closed his eyes, slapped his forehead. "Where the heck did that come from? What was I thinking? That's the worst thing I could have said tonight, aside from telling D how his face changed when it got hit. Sh*t! She's surely gonna hate me now..."

But instead of getting mad, Risa blushed and smiled.

"You're the first guy to ask me that. Actually, I felt uncomfortable because I felt that I didn't have the body for those kinds of outfits. I was a bit scared too. But I did it. Did that answer your question?"
"Y...yes. But actually that was not the question I was supposed to ask."
"Go ahead. You can ask me anything."
"Gaki-san, why are you so nice to me?"
"..."
"It's something that I've been asking myself ever since you gave me this scarf. Why did I deserve such treatment from someone like you? There must be a reason."
"You know Michii-kun, when you really like something, even the most complicated reasons become meaningless. It's just because I do, Michii-kun. I like you. It's as simple as that."
"I see." Now why does it feel like I heard that before?
"Did that answer your question Michii-kun?"
"Y..yes. Thank you, Gaki-san."
"You're welcome Michii-kun."
"And don't worry about the bikinis, you look fine wearing them."
"Well, if you say so. Thanks."
"Ummm...I have another question Gaki-san. And don't worry, it'll be the last one."
"Go ahead."
"Remember when you were nursing me back at the clinic? You told me that you also did that to your friend when you were younger."
"Yes. I remember that."
"Tell me Gaki-san, what the name of your friend was?"

"The upgrade is complete M. You can go now."
"Thanks Dan. I don't feel anything new in me though."
"You'll find out when you get back again in action."
"I have just one last request Dan."
"Fine. What is it?"
"You told me that I shouldn't open that folder because it's no use learning about my past."
"True."
"Well, this is my last request Dan. Could you at least tell me what my name is?"
"Fine."  Dan picked up the folder and opened it.

"His name was..."
"Your name is..."
"Kitahara..."
"Kitahara..."
"Masato."
"Taiga."
"That's a nice name. Thanks for telling me, Gaki-san."
"I see. Thanks a lot Dan." M said as he headed out of the room.










As soon as M closed the door, Dan muttered something to himself.
"I'm sorry Masato, but you're really not supposed to know anything about your past..."

[ziggurat]

"Come on, it's unfair. I'm the main character and I don't have any fancy stuff."

Lol, the truth.

"Now, why do I suddenly feel like a Pokemon?"



"WHOA! Now how did I do that?" He looked at the ring and saw that the silver spot it had before was now red. He clicked it towards the opposite direction and not the red spot turned to white. The flame vanished. M waved his hand towards his opponent and a gust of wind blew the Wild Fan a few steps back. He then clicked the ring again, turning the white spot into blue. He aimed his left palm towards and the Wild Fan was bombarded with ice fragments, similar to Iceman's Arctic Attack in those Capcom games. M grinned like a kid who was able to do the Shoryuken motion for the very first time.

I feel like Captain Planet.

"Ehh?"

"Eeeehhh?"

These two is classic.

"Kitahara..."
"Kitahara..."
"Masato."
"Taiga."

So, M still not know himself. Or not?! dun dun dun!!

Loving this chapter too.. Of course I'll say that... I really love this fic!

The fighting is great and funny in some part. So M professionally control his feeling towards gaki-san, while gaki-san slip out her feeling. Love this forbidden love thingy.. Look forward to the next action-packed and twisted chapter! Thanks wordsworth!

xxxxxxxxx

This should be the comment for the last chapter, but I forgot to put it. Duh. Thanks for that small captain part!!

[jafeijai]

[gasp] THE POWER OF ELEMENTALS!! Captain Planet to the rescue!!

As soon as M closed the door, Dan muttered something to himself.
"I'm sorry Masato, but you're really not supposed to know anything about your past..."
Although it happened in the past...doesn't M have super-hearing abilities? o.O so he should have heard his real name...


Anyways, this fic is still great after so many chapters! Keep it going!!

[Blu-Cherri]

oh cool! These 2 chapters were really great!!(i somehow missed the other one)
I love how the story is moving forward, it's really a story where you can start to cheer for the characters!!

[JFC]

OMG! M has a history with Risa!  Seems like a bit of a screw-up on the part of the Guardians, doesn't it?  I mean, even with the wiping of his original memory and what not, it's still risky to have a Guardian who has a history with the girl they're assigned to.

Gotta wonder now, do the other Guardians have similar histories with the girls they're assigned to, but that they're just unaware of?

[Drako60]

I wonder whats so different about M, they keep saying H has the most advanced frame, but it would seem that since M is a newer Guardian he would have atleast the same frame as H or newer.

  hmm this could get very interesting, very interesting indeed.

  keep up the great work

[glcorps2002]

Maybe M's frame is based off the bad guy's. Better to fight the enemy with.

[ferrar1]

COOL updates (only had the time to read now) These 2 chapters really explained alot on the guardians and M past. And this is why i like this Fic, the plot is nicely spaced out

^ I thought he was special because he was the only part human guardian i must be wrong.

That was a nice talk between Risa and M, i could imagine the thoughts within M. :baa60776:

[Aioros]

Handshake Event

The Guardians were positioned a few meters away from the stage where the girls were.

"Those dudes are lucky. They get to shake the hands of the girls. I never held Gaki-san's hands before."
"Lucky for her. She hasn't touched those rough and dirty hands of yours. You never wash your hands after you come out of the comfort room." D said.
"If you want to shake their hands, join the fan club then fall in line." K added.
"Nah. At least I get to talk to Gaki-san as if she's a normal girl. If that makes her happy, then I'm fine. Any suspicious people S?"
"None so far. Looks like no fighting for us today."
"Aww. I wanted to see what else I could do with this." M said as flashed the ring on his finger. "I haven't had the time to check out what other stuff it can do."
"Hehe. So now you won't be asking for a motorcycle anymore." asked K.
"What are you talking about? I still want a motorcycle. Or a cellphone that can help get some armor."
"Hey guys, you know that fan who was always on R's nerves?" interrupted S.
"You mean that guy who tried to kiss Takahashi-san during one of the handshake events? Why S?"
"He's back." S said as he pointed to the line.
The Guardians zoomed to where he pointed.
"ICHIRO!" M said as he ran for it."
"Wait M, that's not Ichiro." K said as he and D went after him.

The man they were talking about was about to step onto the stage but someone suddenly grabbed the sleeve of his jacket.
"Who are you pal? Can't you see that there's a line?"
"You have the guts to show yourself here huh? I'm not going to let you lay even one finger on them."
M was ready to punch him when K held his arm.
"That's not him, M."
"What are you talking about? How can I forget the face of that bastard?"
"That's not him. But the resemblance is indeed uncanny." D added.
M used his thermal vision to check. D and K were right. He didn't have any cybernetic parts inside him. M let go, turned around and started to walk away, as the other fans who were in line shoved him as he passed them.
"Wow. All that ruckus and I don't even hear an apology." the man said.
M turned around and bowed.
"Do you think I'd accept that kind of apology?"
M bowed on his knees.
"That's better. What a troublesome person." the man said as he went up the stage. The other fans laughed at M as he left the area.

"Hello, Takahashi-san. It's been a long time since I last saw you."
"I remember you. You're name is...*snap**snap*" Ai tried to recall his name by snapping her fingers.
"I think it's Tezuka, Ai-chan." Sayumi whispered.
"Ah, yes. Tezuka-san." Ai blushed as she finally said his name. "Where have you been all this time?"
"You've forgotten me. Haha. Don't worry because I already forgot about you too..."
"Huh?" it seemed that Ai didn't like what he said.
"...Because you've changed. You're a lot more beautiful than before."
"Oh." Ai turned red again. " Thank you."
"It seems like Niigaki-san, Michishige-san, Kamei-san and Tanaka-san have grown too. You were just small girls last time I went to a handshake event."
"Thank you." Risa said as she blushed.
"We've grown. But Tanakacchi's height hasn't changed." Sayumi said.
"Hey! At least I'm not fat! And what are you laughing at, Eririn?"
"I didn't notice your height but since Sayu said it, it seems like you haven't gotten any taller."
"Stop fighting girls." Risa said as she tried to restrain them.
"Hahaha. Girls will be girls. Oh well, my time is up. It was nice to see you all again."
"See you again, Tezuka-san."
"Hey, wait. Do you know Ichiro-san? Because you two really look alike. It's like you're twins or something." Eri asked him.
"Ichiro. Hmmm. Now where have I heard that name before? Haha. Sorry but I don't know anyone by that name."
"Do you have a younger brother my age?" Reina asked.
"Sorry. I don't have a brother. See you girls again. Soon."

Tezuka headed home, with a bag of chips in hand.

***
"Sorry guys. I really thought he was Ichiro."
"No problem. Everyone thought he was Ichiro the first time they saw him."
"And that's probably also the reason why he got into R's nerves."
"Are you sure they're not related?"
"No relation."
"Guys, I think we have a catch." S interrupted.
"How many?"
"Just one."
"Only one?"
"Yes. But i have a plan. Maybe I can make him lead us to where they get Graft..."

***
Gao opened his eyes. He was on a train station bench. He checked his pockets. His wallet was there, his wallet was there and so was his camera. He opened his camera and some of the 'exclusive shots' he was able to take were still there. But he still kept on checking.
"It's gone...Could I have dropped it? Wait. Of course. I remember now. I used it to fight those guys who tried to get my camera. I need to get more of that stuff."
He left the bench and headed home. As he reached his apartment, he opened his PC and logged on to the site where he got the 'stuff'. He sent a PM to the seller, asking if he could get more and after a few minutes he got a reply and instructions on how to reach him, because the one in charge of the deliveries had to go to some kind of 'event'. He packed some of his stuff and left as soon as he could.

It was a long trip and he had to take a Shinkansen to reach the address. But he feels that it's worth it. Even if it's expensive, even if he had to take a long trip to get it, he will get it. He had a taste of what it can do and now he wants more. He got off the train. He started asking the local people where he could find the house to which the address belonged but none of them were able to help him. He asked the local police but they told him that such an address did not exit but Gao still tried to look for it on his own.

It was getting dark and Gao was running out of hope. He was about to buy a ticket home when someone called him from the darkness. It was a cab driver.
"You're the one who's looking for it right?"
"Yes. Do you know where it is?"
"Of course. I'm the only one who knows where it is in this town. But you're not the only person who has come here looking for it. I'll take you there if you want."
"Okay."

He followed the man, got on the cab and in a short while, they reached the seaside. It was a few kilometers away from the town and it was the only house in that area.
"No wonder they didn't know where it was."
"Only a few people know about this place. Come on, pay up already. Even if I've been here a few times, this place still give me the creeps."
After Gao paid him, the cab left the area at full speed.
Gao approached the house and knocked. It was opened by a man who was carrying a bag of chips.
"Hey, I remember you! You're that guy in the handshake event!"
"Me? Handshake event? I wasn't there."
"Never mind. I brought the money you asked."
"Good...It means that you already used the one you bought before."
"Yes. I used it on a bunch of punks and I beat them."
"A bunch of punks eh? What did they look like?"
"One of them looked like a sissy girl, the other had dyed hair and looked like he didn't comb his hair, one wore glasses and the last one had a red scarf.
That guy with the red scarf was the same guy who was causing trouble in the handshake event. I beat that guy up pretty badly because he looks like a perv and it looked like he had a thing for the Berryz girls."
"Really. Do you remember how you beat them?"
"Now that you mentioned it, I can't remember exactly. I know I transformed somehow and the next thing I remember, I saw them lying on the ground. Then I woke up in a train station."
"So Dan was finally able to complete that Memory Screw-up thingie he was telling me way back. Hahahaha!"
The man crumpled the bag of chips and tossed it aside. Then he stepped out of the house and started clapping his hands."Bravo. You found me. Well done, kiddies. No need to hide now. Unless you want me to go get you."

The people he was talking about stepped into the light.
"How did you do it S? You're plan worked perfectly." M asked.
"I gave him a false memory that he was able to beat us and that he needed to get another supply of the drug. I thought that we would only get to the supplier and once we got to him, I could also make another story in his mind. I didn't know that he would lead us to the actual location where it is produced. It's just a lucky break.
"My only gripe is why did I have to be the one that had to get beaten up to a pulp? I mean there's always D! Why not him? And do I look like I have a thing for kids?"
"You're griping about that? Did you hear what that guy called me? He called me a sissy girl!"
"Well, he did give accurate descriptions of us. It's not that I don't comb my hair, though. It was S who put that in him anyway."
"This is not the time discuss that."
"Yeah. Because it's time for us to kick his ass."
"It's the F4 wannabes. Hahaha. But I'm not surprised. I was actually betting that you will be the ones to find me."
"So you're the one who makes Graft."
"You're mistaken. Ichiro wasn't the one who made it. But he helped me make it." said another voice as the owner stepped out of the house.
"You."
"Yes. I made Graft. So the world can be rid of things like you. You're the things that stop fans from getting close to their idols. I don't know why you had to exist in the first place."

Ichiro held Gao as Tezuka revealed four capsules of Graft, each with a different color.
"Have you boys ever thought of what would happen if someone got an overdose of this stuff?" Tezuka said as he injected the capsules into Gao's neck.Gao dropped on the ground and writhed in pain. He started to change. He didn't just change in appearance now, he also grew in size. He was like a mix of an Oozaru from DBZ and Garo's berserk form. The beast swung its arm wildly but the Guardians were able to avoid it.

"That overdose gives him the fighting capability of four to five cyborgs. Which means, he can handle the four of you."
"Where are you two going?"
"Don't think that we're bailing out. Ichiro can take on the four of you and I can probably beat you guys too but this will be probably more entertaining. You only have 5 minutes to stop him. An d before I forget, an overdose has a side effect: death. It's your choice. Either you follow us or this guy dies. But I'm assuming that you won't let this guy die, right?"
"You won't get away with this."
"Watch us. Oh, and you only have four minutes left."
"Tezuka, what about the..."
"Don't worry, I have all that we need with me." Tezuka said as he tapped the briefcase he was carrying.

Tezuka and Ichiro boarded a car that was parked at the side of the house and sped off.

"We really let them get away." M said as he evaded another swing from the beast.
"There'll be a lot of other chances to get them. Right now we've got to help this man."
"I have an idea. I've been making this 'hissatsu' attack before for the four of us."
"I don't want to be part of any of your crazy ideas." D complained.
"On the bright side, I don't think you won't be called a sissy girl in this one."
"Fine."
"I'm sending you guys the details now. Tell me what you think of it when it finishes."
"Three minutes left."
"Hey, this attack is kinda neat."
"Of course. I made it. So what do you think, D, S."
"It looks like it'll work."
"Let's do this."
"S, the first move is yours."
"Alright."

S summoned Mjolnir as they ran towards the beast while avoiding its attacks. As soon as he was hitting range, he charged his hammer, and swung it. A thundering smash hit the beast and sent it to the air. M ran to where S was stood and fired a volley of energy blasts while K and D alternated in kicking it, sending it higher. When it was almost at the peak,M gathered energy and leaped, transformed to an energy bolt, giving it an vertical version KR Faiz's Crimson Smash. After he materialized, S appeared in the air with them and used his hammer to send the beats towards the ground. Now the four of them were in the air. Then they transformed into energy bolts. Like shooting stars, they started to fall down on the enemy one at a time, in a way reminiscent to Kamen Rider Delta's Lucifer Hammer. The four materialized on the ground before the beast even hit it. A few seconds later, Gao was changing back to normal.

"Not bad M. I'm impressed that a rotten mind like yours can make up such things."
"I call it the Rising Meteor/Falling Star Attack Ultimate Championship Edition version 5.1. Version 5.2 includes H and the Hyper Tournament Edition Kamikaze Banzai Special is when R is included."
"Isn't that name too long?" D asked.
"Of course. It's a hissatsu attack, the longer the name, the better. They don't have the budget to give us combining weapons so it was better to make an attack like this."
"You watch too much toku shows.."
"Yeah. But thanks to those toku shows, we were able to save that man's life. Moral lesson kids, watch tokusatsu and sentai shows. They show you the importance of life and the value of teamwork. Plus they have hot girls in em."
"I knew it. You and your hidden agendas." S said.
"What? At least I don't read Shining Musum..."

Just then, some of the other Guardians and some of the security people appeared. Some medical staff took Gao into the ambulance. Some of the Guardians and the security staff went inside to check if Tezuka and Ichiro left any information.

"Great. The backup arrives when all that is left to do is some cleanup. Just like in the movies."
"Hey, it was your brilliant idea to call them after we won, remember?"
"I'm not asking for your opinion. I just wanted to find out how fast they could get here. Nyuk nyuk."
"Nice work, boys." said the Dyed-haired man as he approached them. "Thanks to your efforts, we have somehow slowed down the production the drug."
"Do I get my motorcycle now?"
"Ehem. If you called earlier, we could have gotten Ichiro and his accomplice too. But you did a good job so I'll think about that motorcycle."
"We haven't heard the last of Ichiro. And Tezuka."
"Indeed. They will be back. And the more we have to be prepared because they will be a lot more dangerous now..."

They heard a loud explosion. They looked behind them and the house was already up in flames. Some of the security people were inside. And so were some of the Guardians.

There were no survivors...

[ziggurat]

New chapter yay!

It going serious until the middle, boom! The humour part started. lol

Nice chapter again, wordsworth! But the ending?! Argghh...

[JFC]

Totally wicked new chapter wordy! Love the whole "planting a false memory" bit to get to the supplier/source of Graft. That whole scene was like something out of a movie.

Moral lesson kids, watch tokusatsu and sentai shows. They show you the importance of life and the value of teamwork. Plus they have hot girls in em.

Best part of the new chapter...right there.

Oh, and Gao...Gaoranger? Good thing I'm familiar with all the Toku/Sentai references (e.x. GARO's beast form, the Crimson Smash and Lucifer's Hammer )

[Aioros]

It's been a week since M and his group found the whereabouts of Ichiro and where Graft was being made. They haven't encountered any Graft users too but still, they were advised to stay alert. They do not want a repeat of that unfortunate incident, where some of the personnel, including some of the Guardians got killed. Only a handful of them were left.

Like the prologue, this chapter doesn't begin with the main characters. And it only means one thing....



H was going somewhere. He was carrying some flowers with him.

"Hello, H. Looks like you're going out on a date. Who's the lucky girl? Is it Sugaya?"

He turned around. It was Ichiro. He dropped the flowers and took a fighting stance.

"What a way to greet your senpai. I'm not here to fight you. I'm just going to ask you some questions."

H didn't answer.

"Okay. If you won't cooperate, I guess I'll have to take the answers from you by force. What other upgrade did Dan give you?" he said as he attacked H. H was able to parry his punch and threw a punch of his own but Ichiro parried it too.

"That punch should have taken off your arm even if you parried it yet it's still intact. Amazing."
"I won't let you escape."
"Hey, I should be the one saying that."
"..."
"Hey Mama's boy."
"I'm not a Mama's boy."
"Of course. You don't even know who your Mama is, don't you?"
"That's none of your business."
"I know who she is."
"Stop lying. I won't believe anything you say."
"Okay. I guess I'll just give you a clue....Squirt."
"Squirt. Only one person calls me that..."

Two years ago...

*knock**knock**knock**knock**knock**knock**knock**knock*
"Pipe down. We hear ya! Well, well, if it isn't the little squirt."
"I'm not a squirt. I have a name. My name is Hikaru."
"Okay, Hikaru-squirt, what do you want?"
"Please tell the members of Berryz Koubou that they will the next ones to perform, Old-lady."
"Hey, I'm not an old lady! I have a name too. My name is Hitomi. But you can call me Yossi."
"Fine. Old-lady Hitomi Yossi..."

"It can't be..."
"I guess that clue was enough, huh? She is your mother! Yoshizawa Hitomi!"
"I....impossible. She's not that old..."
"She didn't give birth to you, dumbass, but the DNA they used to create you came from her. So she can be considered your mom. I was wondering why you didn't get fat though. There was a stage in her life where your mom was fat."
"That's not true...Yossi's not...I have a mother...."
"Yoshizawa is your mother. Don't you ever feel different whenever she talks to you?'
"I...."

"What? Did I hear you right Squirt? You're asking me how to get a girl's attention?"
"You're the only one I can ask, Yossi."
"So one of the Berryz girls caught your eye huh? Who is it?"
"Secret."
"I guess it's Shimi-chan."
"How'd you know?"
"You mean it is Shimi-chan? Haha. I didn't know you liked small girls."
"She's not small."
"What is she then?"
"Well she's...she's...she's just not tall?"
"Right. She'll grow eventually."
"I think I made a mistake asking you for advice. You're not taking me seriously." H said as he started to walk away.
"Wait, wait. I'm just kidding." Yossi said as she stopped him. "Besides if you ask Rika or Miki they might turn you gay."
"Huh?"
"Rika will probably dress you in pink. And Miki...will probably do some crazy stuff to you so it would be best if you stick with me, okay?"
"Okay."
"Don't worry, I know the fashion for guys your age. I have younger brothers, you know."
"Really. I guessing that you give them a hard time."
"Of course. It's my duty as the eldest. I'm a cool sister!"
"Yeah right."
"First thing we should do is dye your hair."
"Why?"
"Cool guys have dyed hair."
"I don't see the connection."
"And you should have a bad guy attitude. Girls dig that."
"I don't understand a thing you're saying."
"Of course you don't. You also need to have your ears pierced... "

***
"So what happened?"
"The other girls thought that it was cool but she doesn't like it."
"Aww that's too bad. I'm sorry it turned out that way. I'll just change your hair back to the way it was." Yossi said as she tried to reach for his red hair.
"You don't have to." H said as he slapped Yossi's hand away. "You've caused me enough trouble already."
"Hey! That's not a nice thing to say. Didn't your mom teach you some manners?"
"I shouldn't have asked you for advice. That was the biggest mistake I have ever made."
"Hey, I said I was sorry."
"Whatever."

***
"I haven't talked to her after that..."


"I've told you some info, now it's your turn."
"I won't tell you anything. Get lost!"
"My, my. This little boy has a sharp tongue. Your mother didn't give you proper discipline. Well, what can you expect from Yoshizawa anyway? She's lazy. Hahaha. Oh well,I guess you have a death wish or something."
"My Active Shield is full again." H thought. "I won't call M and the others anymore. I will beat this guy."
"I will be merciful today, kid. I won't be hitting you in the face. If you told me the info I wanted, I would've let you live an hour longer."

H raised his hand. The mechanical butterflies which he uses to watch over the Berryz beamed to where he was in less than a second. He closed his fist and the butterflies covered it with a blinding light. When the light vanished, the butterflies were now transformed into rings, one for each finger. The sixth one, with no finger to hold it, dropped on the ground. H picked it up and placed it on the index finger of his left hand. Strength, speed, agility, stamina, durability and skill. Each of the rings enhances H's abilities. But will it be enough to beat Ichiro?

"Wow! Flashy!  But that won't save you." Ichiro said as he began his attack. H was able to dodge the seemingly unending barrage of punches and kicked Ichiro at the side.
"I...I hit him!"
"Hmm. I actually felt that one, kid. It's been a while since I fought someone who could hit me. That Frame...Dan has really come up with some great inventions...."

Before he could finish, H pointed his index finger and the ring around it changed into a chain and wrapped around the unprepared Ichiro. Then with his enhanced strength, he used the chain to slam Ichiro on the ground. Once he was grounded, he aimed his right hand and started firing an endless array of energy beams at him. Then he created an energy ball and kicked it towards Ichiro. Once the smoked cleared, there was a huge hole on the ground. The chain still held Ichiro and he wasn't moving.

"I...I did it!" H said as he raised his fists in the air.
"No you didn't kid."
Ichiro stood up, freed himself from the chain and slowly walked towards H. H started firing energy beams again but it didn't stop Ichiro from advancing. He stopped firing when Ichiro was already standing in front of him.
"You ruined my favorite shirt!" Ichiro said as he punched H in the gut. H fell on his knees, trying to gasp for some air. It felt like that punch left a hole on his body.

Ichiro yankee squatted in front of him. "I won't hit you in the face. I want your mother to see it without any scratches. Also, that little girl might cry again if she sees that the guy she likes got into a fight and lost an eye, some teeth and got a dislocated jaw. Hahahahaha"

***
*knock**knock**knock**knock**knock**knock*
"Pipe down. I hear ya! Oh. It's you."
"Yossi."
"What do you want?"
"I..."
"What? Are you here to waste my time again?"
"I just wanted to apologize for what I said before. You were right. My mother didn't teach me any manners."
"So? What are you trying to tell me now?"
"I just...I just wanted to ask you if you could teach me some..."

Yossi closed the door.

"I guess that's a no." H said as he prepared to leave. But before could take a step, the door of Yossi's room opened.
"Where are you going? I just went back to change my clothes. If I'm gonna teach you some manners, I might as well wear something decent."
"You're not mad at me?"
"Of course not. I'm a cool sis remember?"
"Thank you."
"Don't fret it. Hey, that's a nice shirt. The sleeves look like they were torn accidentally. And that design, it looks like your blood's splattered on it."
"..."
"Hey, it's the first time I noticed but those birthmarks on your face, they're just like mine. Only they're on the opposite side."
"Maybe when you have kids someday, they'll get your birthmarks."
"Yeah. That'll be the day hahaha!"
"Hikaru-chan..."
Yossi and H looked at the one who was standing in front of them.
"Where were you? You kept me waiting all afternoon!"
"Shimi-chan."
"Oh, so you stood up your date. You're such a bad boy, squirt. Don't worry Saki-chan, I'll punish him later."
H dropped on his knees.
"I'm sorry, Shimi-chan."
"Hey you don't have to do that, Hikaru-chan."
"This is the last time I'm going to make you cry...."

Those were H's last words before he lay on the ground. Yossi and Saki tried to wake him up but it wasn't doing anything. Yossi told Saki to call the perv guy with the red scarf. After Saki left, Yossi checked his pulse but it would have been a lot better if she didn't because when she didn't find any, tears started to find its way on her cheeks.  "Not again, not again! I'm not going to lose a brother again!" she kept telling herself.

It was only then that she noticed the thing written at the back of H's shirt.

-6% by ICHIRO

And this time, she knew that it was indeed blood used to write that.

A few days later...

"You can't do anything?" a furious M asked Dan.
"I can't do anything."
"You just repeated what I said."
"I know. And you should know that I really can't do anything. I'm not a God. I can't resurrect the dead."
"But..."
"Guardians are made from living persons. Even with what kind of condition that person is in, we can help him. But if he's dead, we can't do anything. Science has its limits."
"Couldn't you transfer his memories to another body?"
"That's possible. But transferring memories can lead to unstable personalities. Look what happened to..."
"Don't say his name."
"Anyway, I have to meet up with the bosses and find out what their plans are. Poor Yoshizawa and Saki are still traumatized." Dan said as he left the lab.

M slammed his hand on the table and cut it in half. He put his hands on his jacket's pockets and took out H's rings.

"If something happens to me, I programmed them to follow you. You will be able to use them but I removed the script that makes them watch over the girls when they're taking a bath, or changing their clothes."

"H..."

Then M saw the folder he held when he was getting an upgrade, the folder about his past. He didn't care about what Dan told him before. He opened it.

"Dan told me that my name was Kitahara Taiga. Could you find any info about a person by that name S?"
"Fine."
After a few seconds...
"A person by that name doesn't exist. I checked hospital records. As in all hospitals and all records."
"Dan tricked me again. What about Kitahara Masato?"
"Wait."
"Done?"
"Kitahara Masato. On June 9, 2006, He and his family met a tragic car accident. Masato survived but died when he got to the hospital."
"..."

KITAHARA MASATO

Those were the only words M was looking for in the folder and he was glad he found them. He smiled yet he was worried at the same time. Why you ask?

Because he just received a message from Risa earlier.

3:00 PM
Michii-kun, you remember that friend of mine I was telling you about? Masato-kun called me and asked me if we could meet. Don't worry, I won't be going alone. The Rokkies and Ai-chan will go with me.

3:10 PM
Miki-san told us that she could give us a ride if we let her and Ayaya-san come with us. Looks like this will be fun.

"Check." M looked at his palm.

578. 592. 601. 617....

The number kept getting larger every second.

FUCK! We're not going to lose to you, Ichiro! M said as he ran out of the room to get the others.

[jafeijai]

[gasp] M knows the truth!!! And Ichiro's plan is underway...

the SUSPENSE!!! X_x Risa must NOT be hurt!!
(the other girls as well, but...me and my bias =P)

[ziggurat]

Whoa, new chapter!

Omg, H was created from yossi's dna?

Damn, final bout?!

WHAT THE FUCK!!! Damn, H is really dead huh? Arghhh.

[ferrar1]

Not 1 but 2 chapters !!

[JFC]

H...:ONprayers:

So he was "grown" from Yossi's DNA? No wonder he was able to get the most advanced frame design. He was probably genetically engineered to bet the best fit for it.

And oh shit the girls are heading straight into I's trap! Time to rally the Kamen Riders...I mean...the Guardians and HEAD OUT!!!

[lil_hamz]

First off, the Risa and M parts on the roof were :MKsniffle:  They are so so sweet together! Gosh I feel like I'm gonna attract a ton of ants after reading them.

F4 wannabes was Hilarious :ROTFLMAO:

I kinda had a hunch M was the same person as Masato but he wouldn't get that out of the other guardians. But I didn't count on him being lied to :kcrazy:

And 7 of the girls are gonna be in danger :ON@_@: How is M gonna save them all? What's gonna happen? Is anyone gonna get hurt? AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH I need to know so bad! :MKscream: Please don't make us wait too long :baa60776:

Dedic4te my 444th post to the 4wesome wordsworth's Deton4tor M

 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

I hope you enjoyed reading it as much as i enjoyed making it.
this is another way to show wordsworth how much i love his works.
It's my first real doujin, tama-sama <3 asked me several times to make one, so what tama-sama wants, tama-sama gets !
You might have already seen some of my 4komas...
i know i'm not as good as wordsworth in writing, i'm not as good as ronin in drawing, i don't have zigg's humour, i don't have loser87 crazyness, and i'm not as good as tama-sama, of course, noone is better than tama-sama !
but i tried my best !

drawing momoko was cuteness overload...
sometimes i felt lazy(i gues you can see it )
drawing fanfic is harder than i thought...
i tried at first to make them look like manga-ish, but then they became more and more realistic well, as you can see, momoko doesn't look the same in each panel same for Miya...

Why a story about Momo and H ?
well, H is my fav character, beeing berryz' guardian helps it haha
actually i was about to draw another 4komas with H, but ...while i was drawing some funny stuff he died in the latest chapter....it made me so sad...seriously...so i see that like a tribute to him...

before the chapter where he dies, i had a dream where i was H and the story of the special is inspired from that dream...no, not the one where miki strips...another one with Momo and Captain...
btw, have to tell you that in this chapter Momo and H didn't kiss :p
as she already said, H only has eyes for captain he he  ( yeah zigg, i know you are jealous)

ok i think i wrote too much blabla...
just want to thanks wordsworth for his awesome fic, tama-sama<3, zigg for his support ! loser87 because she is so danm cute and everyone who is going to read that

some other drawing i made before H died...

Captain and H for the new year


Miya and Captain dressed up H with Munasawagi scarlet outfit


M making fun of H about the preview pic haha ( i was drawing this pic just before wordsworth posted the sadest chapter....)
