 Hyakuji for much of its existence has been a sleepy town in Japan, dwarfed by both the major cities in the country like Tokyo and also even by regional cities, the largest of which Kaimu is far larger.

Throughout it's history it has suffered both tragedy and success. The town's school has had a particularly eventful history. It originally started as a manor of the Hyakuji Family. When their servents rebelled the manor was burnt to the ground, killing the entire family.

While the area around the manor grew into a town, the house itself continued to be left alone and run down. Eventually it was purchased by several wealthy investors and became a private school. The school flourished for several decades until it was burned to the ground in a mysterious fire that started in the library.

More time passed and some said that the school was cursed, but the Japanese Government eventually stepped in and purchased the land at a cheap price setting up a high school. It decided to use extra funds to develop a school for students not only from the area, but also to attract students from all over the world who had developed special powers. People with unique talents such as this had always been an accepted part of the world. From magic, controlling the elements, powerful ki masters and even people blessed with super-human physical abilities these kinds of super-normal people have always existed.

Hiring rather unique teachers, it aimed to create a truly special place, unique in all the world. A place where these natural special abilities could be cultivated and grown while at the same time the teenagers got a world-class education and with any luck the aspiration to strive forth and use their gifts to help the world. Matching this unique and global-apealling situation Hyakuji High School was set up apart from the traditional Japanese School System in several aspects. However, by gathering so many people with these powers the city also became a magnet for trouble.

Hyakuji ended up being just that, each year growing more and more exciting than the last.

Season 1: Lich Saga:

Hyakuji's summer was filled with adventure and the making of new friends. A newly arrived class filled the halls of the school with new life. While friendships were made and people grew dark forces were growing.

The idealistic town of Hyakuji began to have strange occurences happening starting with a strange case known as the 'Mystery of the Golden Skull'. Dubbed 'giant hand monsters' by many began attempting to recover things throughout Hyakuji. These creatures luckily were beaten at each occurence by students.

The summer season drew to a close after a beach trip where even more troubling occurences came when Shadow, an evil clone of the gym teacher Triyun Kun, was revealed to have begun targetting the school. Luckily Triyun managed to stop him this time but was unable to kill him, a costly mistake for later on.

When everyone returned from the Beach they found the source of the Hand Monsters was their history professor Archibald, who was really the ancient Lich Rawanuri. Rawanuri summoned a large army of undead under the command of his personal death knight. In a climactic battle the Hyakuji Ninja Guild and the Students managed to fight the army back and confronted Rawanuri ultimately catching him in the graveyard. But before he could be defeated he summoned a giant creature known as Zoranari. Zoranari consumed the Lich into his own power.

In a battle of desperation Zoranari was banished back into the void but he vowed to return someday. Afterwards Hyakuji began the process of rebuilding once again.

Season 02: Shadow Saga:

The adventures of the students of Hyakuji grew more and more numerous as more remarkable students arrived for the new session after summer break. The school's clubs began to get underway more in this session as new teachers arrived as well.

Yet all was again not well in Hyakuji. Shadow had rebelled from his holders and created the Hidden Guild of Shadows which began launching its sinister plans in Hyakuji, corrupting some students, and attempting to systematically take out the teachers.

Though Shadow's plans were initially though thwarted, his surprise attack on the Hyakuji Ninja Guild began a dark day in Hyakuji which culminated in him resummoning the great snake demon Orochi from a great tomb. In a battle where Triyun and Ayame Tatsuya, two teachers managed to take down Shadow and his top associate Menkong Su'un therebye weakening Orochi enough for the students to destroy Hyakuji was returned to balance.

Season 03: The Seven Saga + Christmas Special:

The winter session of Hyakuji began on a bit of an odd note. A spoiled rich young boy known as Master Fudo (successor of the Fudo family, one of the three great ancient families of Hyakuji) got it in his idea to capture all the girls in the world starting in Hyakuji High School and marry them. He successfully incapacitated the teachers and took the girls hostages.

As the male student population of Hyakuji fought to rescue their teachers and female counterparts, they faced some of the most unusual villians they had ever come across. While the men engaged in a endless battle with a huge army of Anything-Goes-Martial-Arts-Servitude trained Butlers, the women entered their own battle with words against Master Fudo. Luckily, Master Fudo was persuaded away from his course of action and things returned to normal for Christmas.

As the christmas spirit faded, an old enemy returned however. The Seven of who Zornari was a member of finally managed to revive all of themselves. Their power proved insurmountable no matter what the by now seasoned heros of Hyakuji threw against them.

It was at this time that they were all absorbed by a darker evil, a evil man turned demi-god began to show his thousand year old plan, that the events of the summer had started came to fruition. As teachers and students ascended the spire created by this new evil they found the remnants of the Lich Rawanari who gave them a weapon to release the Seven.

After a devastating battle in the top of the spire, Triyun was able to use the weapon given to him to release part of the Sevens spirit. As they fought inside the dark demi-god it distracted him long enough for Hyakuji's heros to seal him in the void. Hyakuji was at last free from the threat of the Seven.

OVA 01: General Gwang Saga:

This story was of Triyun's former nemesis Gwang returning to once again Harass him. He hired on a team of mercenaries to assist him. He used his vampiric powers to form an army of ghouls, using Triyun's ex-fiance` to distract him while he launched an all out assault against Hyakuji. Luckily Triyun's current love snapped him out of his daze and together Triyun and his nephew Kashim fought Gwang while The students of Hyakuji held back the armed forces.

Simultaneously a small group within the Japanese government launched an attack with their 'team psyche' to cripple the elemancer tower to prevent those within from helping. It was their hope to use Gwang's attack to eliminate the thorn in their side that was Hyakuji. Unfortunately as Gwang failed so did their asperations. Though many good elemancers died in the process.

Season 04: Shadow Games Saga:

The spring session was the first relatively peaceful session of Hyakuji. People went about with their lives. New threats emerged, but nothing escalated into something major... at least until summer began to give way to the cool winds of Autum...

Unable to wait any longer, Bakura, the ancient spirit that haunted Hiro
Tsukasa’s Millennium Ring (found during an expedition to Egypt) began his bid for power. After taking total control of Hiro’s mind the Spirit manipulated several students, appealing to their strong desire to gain power, into performing his bidding to unleash the Shadow Games once more into the mortal world.

As friends turned upon friends chaos began to mount as Bakura’s plot began to cause several students to disappear from existence. In actuality, the missing students had been sent to a small portion of the Shadow Realm located inside the Millennium Ring, this transaction needed by Bakura for his mission; though trapped they were left unharmed.

Once enough souls had been gathered Bakura managed to separate his being from
Hiro Tsukasa’s (banishing Hiro with the students) and gain his own body via the
sacrifice of one student; Crazy Ayte. However, one student’s death would not be the final tragedy. As Bakura’s powers slowly grew with each passing day he began to
prepare for his true mission.

Gathering the students who held the other Millennium Items atop a building in downtown Hyakuji, Bakura reclaimed the Items he had once given and revealed his true intentions. Driven by his deep rooted hatred of all humanity spawned from the atrocities seen when he originally lived back in Ancient Egypt, Bakura had aligned himself with a lesser known Egyptian God… Zorc Necrophades, the Dark God of Destruction. His true goal was to gather all Seven Millennium Items and use them to resurrect this being.

Though the students tried their best and even recieved aid from the Millennium Puzzle
Bearer possessed by the one to originally stop Bakura, Pharoh Atem, failed to
hold back his desire. Utilizing all Seven Millennium Items Bakura completed the
ritual and in mere moments the entire sky had blackened as huge portals to the
Shadow Realm opened spilling constant streams of monsters into the city. Zorc,
meanwhile, emerged from the sky in the form of a massive beast and with no time
to spare began to demolish the city quickly washing the streets into a sea of
flames.

The students, joined by those now freed from the Shadow Realm, mounted a massive assault against Zorc while Hiro faced Bakura alone to keep him from interfering any longer. After a few initially well planned attacks a flaw had appeared in Bakura’s plan. Though it had taken much work, the students were able to actually damage the supposed God of Destruction.

In his rush to finish Bakura had incorrectly finished the ritual and now though Zorc was summoned his powers were incomplete and thus in the realm of feasibly being defeated. Showing a true lack of compassion for the one who set him free, Zorc sacrificed all of Bakura’s life essence to complete what had been failed and achieving all of his powers began regenerating all the damage the students had so skillfully done.

Things began to look bleak as even with Hiro’s added magical powers the students
could do nothing to harm the hideous God. As Zorc’s destructive path began to
turn upon the school salvation finally came from above. A huge inter-dimensional
rift opened in the sky rocketing back from nowhere the giant robot Hyakuzor and
at its helm was the missing and former Principal of Hyakuji, Ayumi Hitagawa.

Quickly assessing the situation she had three students pilot the newly modified
Hyakuzor in a desperate attempt to finish off Zorc. Though the students alone
could no longer do anything to help, the finale showdown would inevitably have
to be between the Dark God of Destruction and a giant human-made God of Steel.
Utilizing a new Overboost System that drew upon the very life force, will and desires
of its pilots Hyakuzor managed to overcome Zorc despite all logical odds and
defeated the creature blasting it into oblivion.

Things quickly returned to normal with Zorc’s fall and in a matter of minutes
all the invading monsters had vanished. As if to wrap up things in one neat
package a mysterious Egyptian man know as Shadi revealed himself and claimed
that it had been his family’s responsibility to watch over the Millennium Items
and guard them from ill use. Vowing to never again allow the Seven Items out of
his sight he departed as quickly as he arrived with all Seven Items in tow.

Season 05: Darkness Saga*:

*There was never quite an actual IC conclusion to this nor really and over-reaching site-wide plot. For sake of progress a logical conclusion has been fabricated. -Hiro

Ayumi Hitagawa has resumed her role as Principal of Hyakuji and the new Fall Semester was prepped to begin with little sign of danger on the horizon. However, things were no longer as light-hearted as they once were. With growing student interest in a local mafia-style group known as the Wo-Shing Society and the emergence another similar group known as Kyrios.

As students quickly began to sign away their free time to supporting these two organizations the tensions among everyone began to escalate. Meanwhile, working with the Japanese Branch of the Bureau for Paranormal Research and Defense Hiro established a secret organization, known as Arcadia, indepent from the power play in the streets. While the day held Wo-Shing and Kyrios pushing closer and closer to war the night held the students secretly in Arcadia hunting supernatural based problems in hopes to end the rising ammount of bad energy in the city.

Things finally came to a head as Wo-Shing and Kyrios engaged in an all out brawl in the downtown area of Hyakuji during broad daylight. As student fought against student, friend turned on friend and the area of town became ruined. Worst of all, amid this fight many innocent bystanders were injured and even a few killed.

After the battle ended a special school assembly was held where Principal Hitagawa adressed every student and pleaded for them to stop the sensless violence noting that the city had enough problems with trouble constantly being drawn in and that students fighting amongst themselves would only make things even worse once another real crisis happened.

Afterwards things began to calm down... Wo-Shing began to lay low to avoid any possible attacks from the Police and meanwhile Kyrios quickly fell apart due to leadership disputes ending much of the gang wars. Unfortunately, Arcadia's war against the night remained unrelenting as the ammount of negative supernatural energy in Hyakuji continued to ominously grow.

Season 06: Dieu Saga*:

*This Saga was not officially Roleplayed out IC. It was always intended to occur as End of Eva-styled final story for Hyakuji but more than likely would have never been correctly pulled off. Characters have instead been assigned fitting roles where needed to convey said story. Also, this is only an overview...time provided I shall finish the very long, mayhaps novel-length work of this Saga -Hiro

With more and more odd, but unconnected, events occuring in Hyakuji it was clear that something big was bubbling behind the scenes. In a sudden and surprising announcement the Mayor of the city, a rarely present figure, announced that the school would be drastically remodeled along with the town itself. Even so far as being renamed.

By this point much of the Hyakuji Faculty had dissapated to either other jobs or the few remaining leaving out of disgust at the announcement. Arcadia was disbanded and even Wo-Shing reorganized as their leaders departed. Only Principal Hitagawa remained out of a sense of duty to her students, though having had her job replaced by another she instead retired to live at the small shrine her family owned.

Over the ensuing months things grew more and more unlike the previous happy chaos of Hyakuji. Threats from out of this world villains ceased and everyone's life instead became increasingly involved with the drama of day to day life and human interactions. However, behind all this the negative supernatural energy continued to grow. This growth began to quickly manifest itself in the form of radical weather occurences and even light tremors.

Sensing that a crisis was approaching Eiji, one of the former heads of Wo-Shing, began to travel abroad seeking for news of the original teachers in hopes of beseeching them to return and investigate things. Unable to turn up anything Eiji was finally led to a secluded, self-sufficient, Academy located in a oddly mysterious forest called Academia Beluosus. This school, similar in many ways to Hyakuji, catered to the hidden side of reality serving as a school for Supernatural creatures.

With no surprise Eiji discovered that former teacher Hiro Tsukasa had relocated here. After voicing his concerns, Hiro kindly resigned from his position at the Academy and returned to Hyakuji along with Eiji. The two couldn't have arrived any sooner as a earthquake of immense proportions began the moment they returned cracking the very ground in half at some areas of the city. From within these cracks began to crawl forth demonic-like beings of varying apperances. The odd army of dark beings wasted no time revealing their intention as they began to attack anything and everything in the city.

Though Hiro had his suspicions about the source of the problem there was no time for theories as the unlikely duo rushed into combat with the creatures. Though on an individual scale each creature was quite weak in comparison to either fighter's power, the sheer numbers being presented made it quite clear that without some change in the situation Eiji and even Hiro would soon grow too tired to fight.

However, to their surprise help was on the way. In another surprising twist the members of the disbanded Arcadia appeared, garbed in their uniforms, led by Fenrir and Celestial, two former and well acquainted students of Hiro's. Now, as a collective force, the group began to fare better against the growing horde despite the fact that no end seemed to be coming for the ammount spilling forth from the splits in the Earth.

As Arcadia, led by Hiro, held its ground Eiji departed to seek out Wo-Shing. Appealing to the veteran members among the restructured group and finally besting the new leader in combat, Eiji re-assumed command and reasoning that Wo-Shing's existence relied on the city's existence ordered the group to go join Arcadia in battle. Wo-Shing and Arcadia, side by side, joined by an increasing number of students swept into the fight began an all out assault pushing a path towards one of the splits in the Earth.

However, upon their arrival there seemed no way to seal the area. To make matters worse more areas of the ground were torn asunder as mysterious Phantoms appeared and quickly took the shape of former Hyakuji villains. Though mere recreations of the originals the chilling alliance of the likes of Cain, Shadow, Rawanuk, Men'Kong and even Bakura proved just as powerful.

Things began to look desperate as the students began to loose ground when seemingly out of nowhere Triyun returned leading the Ninja Guild he had left in other's capable hands to run in his absence. With added numbers and the charismatic leader who had seen the students through many battles in the past the group fought on with higher morale. Quickly realizing the cause was some other source Triyun demanded Hiro, having the best grasp on the supernatural, to depart from the center of the city and seek out the source. Leaving the Student Alliance in the hands of Triyun, Hiro, along with Celestial, departed with a small number of students as they quickly began to move deep into the forests that surround Hyakuji.

Troubling for the students Hiro seemed to know exactly where to go as he led the group to a small Shrine not noted along any sign or path. Fighting their way in past armed men garbed in black suits the group reached a large chamber that seemed much like a meeting room as they came face to face with the source of the problem: a group of people known as the Council of D.

Commending the students on their success Hiro finally revealed his hands stating that Principal Hitagawa had long ago broken her oath with the Council and told him of them. As if tearing off the final layers to the series of shocking revelations, the Council kindly began to explain themselves to the students before them.

The Council of D was formed long ago during Japan's Meiji Era as Hyakuji was just founded. In truth, before their founding the area of Hyakuji was merely a small nameless village. However, a odd and ancient ritual performed by the current Hyakuji Clan Head (and village leader) resulted in one young girl's life being sacrified to create a being of ultimate power; changing the innocent victim into a Goddess. The young girl was then named Dieu and utilizing her power the few who had aided the Hyakuji Family Head hoped to achieve their various goals. However, they had not anticipated Dieu's reaction... confused and angry the Goddess began to rampage and the group saw no action left other than to seal her away.

After this the Hyakuji Family, along with three other powerful families (Yuki, Fudo and Yoshima) formed a group know as the Council of D. This Council, using the advent of technology to their aid were able to manipulate the slumbering Dieu's power to create a city rivaling those closer to the capital. However, to uphold this grand illusion the Council had created they quickly learned that they would need to manipulate what went on in town which in turn would have a direct effect on Dieu's emotions and thus regulate Hyakuji.

From the very start, the founding of the school, the arrival of every single student and teacher, each new villain that discovered the mysterious city; all of it was hand picked, manipulated and worked to happen because the Council of D willed it so to regulate Dieu's power. Angered and bitter at this revelations the students present questioned Hiro for not telling them sooner. However, admitting that now was not the time Hiro proceeded to question the Council before him as to the current problem.

The explination was lengthy, but in short there had been a growing gap between the remained Elder members of the Council and the more newly appointed ones. The drastic changes and renaming of the city came as the remaining three Elders were ousted. Wanting desperately to force Dieu to emmit even greater powers than any other group's legacy the new Council made many drastic changes. However, these new alterations had servered only to disturb Dieu more and more finally pushing the Goddess to awake. Arising with hundreds of years of anger left only one desire in her heart; to erase the land once called Hyakuji from existence along with all living beings associated to it.

As Councilman C drunk upon the past months of weilding such controlling power began to rant upon how the aftermath of Dieu's rampage could mean a full rebirth for the new city the Shrine began to collapse as another earthquake rocked the land. Though Hiro and the Students survived the collapse thanks to being saved at the last minute by two odd people garbed in old tattered cloaks.

The two presented themselves as Councilman M and H, two of the ones ousted and admitted to the Students that despite their want to keep Dieu in check rather than abuse her powers brought about their fall they still feel they did not do all they could to stop the decay of Hyakuji. Pleading with Hiro the two venerable Councilmen begged him to take the Students to see Dieu; what they believe is perhaps the only chance for any safe resolution to the current situation.

As Hiro and the Students forged ahead through the forest following the directions of the Councilmen, the fight in the city was taking a turn for the worse. The alliance of Phantoms had made short work of many of the students and soon only Triyun stood to fight. Pushing his power to the limits and making an amazing display of his skill, this last gambit proved too little too late as even the great ninja fell.

Unaware of the tragedy in town the only remaining living students had arrived at the ruins of the Hyakuji Family Shrine only to find a final obstacle in their path; Principal Hitagawa. Revealing that the task of the Principal of Hyakuji was to serve as the Stand-In Representative for the Hyakuji Family (all blood heirs having perished) it was her sworn duty to guard Dieu's resting place from access by anyone. Telling Celestial to take the students and go on Hiro decides to stay behind and fight Ayumi in place of the students.

As Celestial lead the rest on Hiro and Ayumi began to battle, the Principal revealing that she had enhanced her body with nanomachines for greater speed, stamina and strength as well as other nanomachines to simulate various powers students of the school had wielded. Though close, the battle soon ended as Hiro ran Ayumi through. In her dying words she revealed that in truth she only wanted for the students to be able to lead happy enjoyable lives and hoped there was still some way to fix the sins from so long ago adding, with her last breath, that in truth she had really harbored deep feelings for Hiro.

Meanwhile, Celestial and the other students had gone far into the Hyakuji Family Shrine to find themselves inside a large blue-tinted void. Floating in the center was the source of all the travesties, Dieu. Before anyone could react they found themselves frozen in mid-air around Dieu unable to move. Driven by his anger Hiro caught up to the group and rushed towards Dieu going for the kill. However, with his sword inches from her body a large spike had been called forth by Dieu impailing Hiro dead in his tracks as a flurry of additionally spikes rushed forth adding him to the growing number of deceased.

With only the small number of students left Dieu gave them a vision of the outside world. Hyakuji had now been encircled by a giant wall of light that was slowly closing in, erasing the city and all from existence. In these final moments Dieu bitterly gloated of her success pointing out the faults of humanity and assuring the young people that oblivion was a far greater fate than living on.

Unable to fight back and having no other options the remaining students began to recount their various memories of Hyakuji, discussing them somberly but with a tint of warm remembrance realizing there was no longer a safety net to stop the current problem. Angered at their happy memories Dieu began to question the students on why they valued Hyakuji and for that matter life in general.

While each student answered in turn something surprising happened. Perhaps something in their tone or perhaps more likely the sheer force of their emotion had reached out and touched Dieu. Shedding the first tear of her existence the students were suddenly freed to fall to the ground as the wall of lght outside retreated, repairing the city before dissapating.

Thanking the students for sharing their deepest emotions Dieu then revealed that she was wrong. Though the sins committed against her so long ago were great, punishing those today for it solves nothing. Vowing to undo all she had caused Dieu thanked the students once more and with a stream of tears growing informed the students that once she fixed things all memories of their meeting would be forgotten back to before the time the Council of D began to cause trouble. (IE: No one remembers Season 6 happening) Finally, she added that rather than returning to slumber she would remain awake, happily watching the city she now loved developed free from any influences.

In a final flash of light everything was restored and, unknown of all that had transpired, the city of Hyakuji forged on same as it ever was.

 Shin Season 01: Skyworld Saga

Since the forgotten advent of Dieu the city of Hyakuji enjoyed a time of peace and prosperity. Several classes finally reached graduation, and in one piece, and moved on beyond high school life. As faculty departed and new members were hired in the new school semester seemed to be off to a great start. However, good starts always spell trouble...

One breezy calm afternoon just as the sun began to set a giant island appeared in the sky pouring a near endless supply of dark Shadow-like creatures garbed in tribal masks into the city. Though apparently not directly hostile these creatures began to comb Hyakuji in search for some unspecified target. In the ensuing chaos several students and other citizens took to a more direct source of resolution attacking the beings on the assumption they meant trouble. This brought forth a soon to be well learned fact that the creatures only attacked when attacked and upon their death cried out to distract more from their collective search to fight.

It did not take long before some students got in over their head drawing the attention of a vast number of shadow creatures. However, things would soon turn much worse. Ledah, the music teacher, took to the sky to try and approach the floating island and discover the source of all the chaos. His ascent was quickly cut off by a young boy, named Leon, who was riding the very air on a snowboard. As the two faced off it was quickly revealed that the boy had a mastery of control over the air around them.

Meanwhile, on the ground trouble came in two fold as more mysterious figures appeared. The largest gathering of students were faced with a towering giant of a man identified as Master Maro, a Tao Master with the ability to manipulate gravity. Due to the insults on his weight by several people present the seemingly reasonable Maro became angered and put the entire cast present through a gravity induced lesson in pain.

Elsehwere, the shadow creatures were now all converging on the Museum seeming to suggest their goal lay there. As some departed from Maro to pursue the creatures their path was cut off by another Tao Master, this time a cowboy-esque gunslinger named Durham. As the three separate fields of battle waged on it became clear that these new enemies were immensly powerful. Leon, despite his young age, managed to carry on blow for blow against Ledah's powerful music ability while Maro and Durham easily canceled out any attacks directed at them, still having the energy and focus to retaliate with their own.

During all this, on the rooftop of the Museum, another duel was taking place. A duel of words between Hiro Tsukasa and a fellow sorcerer named Charden. It was within this dialogue that all became clear. The four new enemies were all members of an elite group known as the Apostles of the Stars.

The Apostles were a ancient and elite group of the kingdom's best fighters, sorcerers and Tao Masters that served the royal family Mu under direct command of Mu's King; his wishes, desires and utmost defense hinges on their power. Mu was once perhaps the greatest empire in all the world before their zeal for technology advancement left their Island Nation sealed in an alternate realm. As centuries marched on Mu finally gathered enough concentrated power to send forth one or two of its citizens at a time into the real world, but it seemed they would never discover a way to return their homeland entirely; that is without a little help.

Through their travels in the real world Mu learned that one of their ancient artifacts, a mighty crystal once used as a limitless power supply dubbed the Angel's Tear had been discovered by humanity. Improperly ID'ed as a Mayan artifact it had been on a world tour display at various Museums for some time. now the pieces of the puzzle were all in place. Storing vast ammounts of energy Mu had tracked the Angel's Tear to Hyakuji where it rested on display for a short time. Materializing in full force and employing the Shadow Creatures to seek out the relic they hoped to take back what was rightfully theirs and using its power return to the real world.

However, despite their apparent superior fighting ability not all went as the Apostles planned. Amid an argument with the mysterious Tori Ninja, Hiro accidentally dropped the Angel's Tear shattering it into many pieces. Vowing that they had people who could repair it Charden rushed for the shards while Leon, Durham and Maro kept everyone else thoroughly occupied. Using up most of his magical energies Hiro scattered the shards across Hyakuji, randomly sealing them into various people to make the task of finding, extracting and reforming the Angel's Tear near impossible.

Running out of time to stay materialized a final Apostle known as Shiki arrived. This enigmatic being ordered the rest to retreat and used a powerful Tao Spell to immobilize everyone across the city. Escaping through mysterious black portals the Apostles left and no sooner had they done so the remaining Shadow Creatures vanished as well. In the end, despite some slight collateral damage and a few injuries the result of the battle seemed a success for the students of Hyakuji with the chaos claiming only one victim: Sephiroth's Car.

Like a great illusion suddenly ending Mu dissapeared from the sky and it was as if nothing had ever happened. However, something did happen. Though their ultimate gambit failed Mu still desires to reconstruct the Angel's Tear and by direct order of Mu's King it is the primary concern for the Apostles of the Stars to continue their mission of retrieving the relic.

In the wake of their initial and flashy display not even a few hours later Apostle activity stirred in the city as the groundwork for their goal was laid. Doctor, by direct command of Creed, visited Lillian Arion to offer a trade of his Nanotechnology Research for all her information on Hiro Tsukasa. A required element due to Creed's growing obsession with the man after witnessing him battle during the fight in the city. Meanwhile, in an effort to increase their ranks and odds of finding more shards Charden was sent forth with bottles of Shinkitou, Tao Water, mysterious liquid that when consumed grants the radical and unique Tao Powers the Apostles use for a rare few, the rest recieve only death from consuming it.

Charden initially sought the man known as Kuro, settling on his power and disposition as the most likely and worthwhile candidate. However, Charden failed in this attempt and departed from the man's restaurant in anger. Later that night, Charden had a chance encounter with a young girl named Shoko that had snuck into the local pool for a midnight swim. Appealing to her strong desire to find and be reuinted with her brother, Charden convinced the girl to drink the Shinkitou granting her the Tao Power: Clone.

With their ranks slowly increasing the war for the shards of the Angel's Tear began. In little time another addition was added to their ranks, the mysterious Gunlsining Necromancer known as Meppou Hein. From here, the Apostles carried out numerous incedental encounters with the students battling from time to time over a shard. Over this time several more permanent occurences took place: Kyoko infiltrated the school as a student becoming a very close friend with Shoko and Durham, in a fit of rage against Creed's desire to add Hiro to the Apostles, kidnapped the clone of Amaya Matsuda known as Kurei in an attempt to bait the Wizard out. Despite being confronted not only by Hiro, as planned, Durham was also forced to face off against resident head of the Wo Shing, Eiji. However, despite this Durham fell by neither's hand but rather due to the intervention of Creed, slaughtering his own teammate for disobeying orders regarding attacking Hiro.

Working together and taking advantage of Creed's inability to physically harm Hiro Tsukasa the duo attempted to fight the Apostle's mastermind but his skill proved too great and ultimately, at the behest of Echida, the Swordsman vanished without a trace. More incedental encounters occurred slowly over time.

Meanwhile, Arcadia was locked in its own personal war against its most recent self-proclaimed nemesis the organization known as The Hellfire Club. First, the Club's resident sorcerer's the Crowley Brothers used a false kidnapping situation to bait the entire Fire Divsion into the Demon Realm. Once they were sufficiently lured in their deception was revealed and after a very minor tussle and sprinkling some odd powder upon Arcadia's Leader Hiro Tsukasa after knocking him out the Duo departed as every demon within the forest was quickly rushing to the source of the commotion sensing human dinner.

Working with several non-members, such as the bounce-tastic and powerful graduate from Hyakuji, Mayu, Arcadia fought a desperate battle to escape from the forest and left humiliated by their foe. More humiliation was to come as their next Mission involved the Club's enigmatic member know as Joker-sama who took over one of the dorms with an array of odd beings known as Shadows. While Joker-sama kept Hiro himself busy on the roof the Squad dispatched for the ordeal was left on their own to handle not only the Shadow menace but also the Club's newest card to play... Kaldia, an Adroid originally built as an Anti-Shadow Combat Unit but reprogrammed for their services. Although the Dorms were defended Joker-sama and Kaldia managed to escape bringing shame to Arcadia once more.

However, it would be the third time that proved the charm and breaking point. An tip recieved anonymously, obviously another baited trap, by Arcadia called the group out to a night club on the edge of town that catered to the louder less mainstream genre of bands performing. Knowing it was a trap but having no other means to ensure the safety of the regular club-goers Arcadia's Fire Division infiltrated the building as a whole dispersing among the crowd. However, none of them could've expected the turn of events. The band performing happened to be vampires, members of an insane cult known as the Get of Cain, followers of Cain the very vampire that once came to Hyakuji long ago to settle a score against Hiro Tsukasa and ultimately met defeat at his hands.

Their frontman, Judah, led the band in a brutal slaughter decimating the regular humans in the crowd and as Arcadia mounted a defense Judah revealed that he was not only a member of the Hellfire Club but also that he was turned directly by Cain himself. Seeming to hold a deep grudge over the death of his Master, Judah eagerly sacrificed his own kind to stall the others and Hiro Tsukasa while he secured the girl, and weak spot for Hiro, known as Kurei. Before the eyes of everyone the almost inhuman man violently abused Kurei before departing kidnapping her.

In a blind a foolish rage Hiro gave pursuit falling for what might be considered the true trap within the obvious trap prompting the rest of the Fire Division to follow out of concern. The group tracked Judah to a small warehouse in downtown Hyakuji where Judah, aided by another vampire and Club member who happened to be adept with Magic named Viscard was leading a ritual using the blood of all those killed at the club to revive Cain. Baited in close with Kurei, Hiro was then promptly exiled from support via Viscard's speciality, Barrier Spells, and the rest of Arcadia could do nothing but watch as Hiro's greatest nemesis Cain revived, murdered and then turned Hiro Tsukasa into a vampire before their very eyes before setting out on his own.

Facing ultimate defeat Arcadia withdrew, Hiro MIA and Kurei still in the clutches of Judah. However, the group would not remain without command for long. Reccomended in by Sarah Armitage, the group's contact within America's B.P.R.D. and also one of the members that helped found Arcadia two other vampires known as Isaac and Claudia, with a ridiculously close relationship, were brought in. The Couple faced harsh resistance from many of Arcadia's ranks and some, such as Hyakuji's very own Ace Teen Detective Jameson, outright refused to accept their leadership.

Regardless, Arcadia had to pull forward. Organizing their efforts the group managed to track down Hiro and capture him sealing him away in the basement of Arcadia's Manor under several magical locking spells to prevent his escape while they mounted a search for a cure. Through research Arcadia's own special android Alfred discovered a method of returning to mortality for vampires known as Golconda. However, from experience Isaac and Claudia detailed the very myth-like fashion of the technique and their own failed research on the matter from aeons ago.

While many bemoaned the seemingly dead end, the sheer luck of another brought salvation. Without entirely intending for the results Arcadia's own paper master Evan met with another of the Hellfire Club's members, a rather curvy woman know as Nyala, who explained to the boy that the Club wished to sever ties from Judah and by association Viscard. It was not the Club's intention to deal with Cain and his return marked a rather decided end for Arcadia. In veiled words the woman explained that for the time being the Club desired Arcadia to grown stronger to push the Club itself to grow stronger. Without giving away more Nyala presented Evan with a special cure for vampirism that needed only to be drank by Hiro.

However, it seemed as if this salvation had come to late. Even before Evan could return with the cure, let alone have it anaylzed or debate over its safety in use Hiro Tsukasa was mysteriously snatched from within his cell. It was at this point that Isaac made a bold revelation to the group. Within Arcadia's informationally-related divisions there was a traitor for the Hellfire Club and it was not only by their hands that Hiro vanished but also the lack of information that caused the previous trio of missions to fail.

With no time to reason out this defector all of Arcadia was mobilized to retrieve Hiro. Once again at the abandoned warehouse Judah had assembled the remained of the Get of Cain along with Viscard for his ultimate revenge against Cain's murderer. During the span of downtime Judah had used a technique known as blood-bonding that forced Kurei to, even against the strongest of her own wills, become his perfect slave. In a final scene, before Hiro's very eyes, Judah hoped to make love to Kurei forever scaring Hiro's mind and forcing him to fully accept the rage of his vampiric state and thus making him impossible to even become a reformed vampire such as Isaac and Claudia.

As the brunt of Arcadia rushed in directly, Isaac and Claudia took to the rooftops where they encountered another duo of vampires called in by Judah known as The Valentine Brothers. The Brothers had tusseled with Isaac and Claudia in the past and while Arcadia itself faced off against the Get of Cain its temporary leaders dueled against the Brothers. Thanks to the firepower of Jameson's current assitant Miyuki Arcadia was able to permanently sever Viscard's Barrier Magic and at great injury on his own Evan was able to reach Hiro and administer the cure which, despite the risk, seemed to work perfectly.

However, to the insult and surprise of all Hiro bolted from the battle swiping Kurei and bailing on everyone. In truth, he was about to perform a very dangerous procedure to remove the vampiric blood in Kurei and save her from the mental control Judah had. As this went on Arcadia showed its own improvements from its previous failures and making expert use of chaining off one anothers moves and attacks the group essentially ganged Viscard and Judah into their final deaths. Above a similar victory was reached as Isaac and Claudia effortlessly bested the Valentine Brothers proving they too had grown since whenever they had last faced the duo. Mix in a lot of over the top powers and of course Rozanny's unstable control of fire... it wasn't long before the building began to collapse and having just finished the process of healing Kurei, Hiro teleported everyone outside.

It was a time for relief and celebration, but the fight was not over yet. Like some hiddeous nightmare Cain then arrived on the scene. He cared little for the foolish action of his Childe, Judah, and had thus remained hidden till now. As if he understood without words Hiro approached for them to duel to the death a third and final time. The battle was long and each used the full extent of their Supernatural powers. Originally, Hiro had bested the monster using a Forbidden Spell that could only be utilized 3 times before killing the User. Cain, exerting all the force he could, desperately desired to force Hiro into casting it for his third and final time in his life. However, proving that he too had grown since their last meeting, Hiro chose another path that Cain refused to accept and amplyifying his own Dragon Slave Hiro unleashed the energy as a powerful sword slash from the enchanted sword named Tyrfing. Although the aftermath was not uplifting... Arcadia was still in shambles with many members outright confused with how to take Hiro as a leader and Kurei herself mentally scarred from the time with Judah... for the very least the Hellfire Club seemed to be on hiatus giving them time to breath.

And rest they would were there not more troubles affecting the greater part of Hyakuji. Amid Arcadia's own vampire issues the incedental raids by Apostles trying to claim Shards had continued on and on. Time and again various Apostles clashed against the students, narrowly escaping with shards each time.

As if their sudden gain in the battle for control of the shards wasn't bad enough things soon took a even lower turn. Gathering atop Mt. Hayaku all of the Apostles save Creed and of course the reclusive Doctor joined around Charden as he performed a special ritual that would call out and draw all the remaining shards. Sensing the tremendous surge of supernatural energy Nickle and Kinklex following by plenty of other students raided the mountain as all out war began. Despite their toughest efforts Charden ritual had begun too soon to be stopped and the Apostles quickly retreaded now only 2 Shards away from their victory.

Elsewhere, during this, at another area lower on the mountain Eiji had been undergoing intense training from Master Yun in hopes of besting Creed at their next meeting. However, bored and left out from the main mission, Creed had followed the other Apostles and slipped away to challenge Eiji one-on-one. The duo faced off once more but Eiji's slightly grown strength proved not a blessing but a curse as the intense fight pushed Creed to a new level awakening his Imagine Blade to a frightening Second Level of power. Once again bested Eiji could do nothing to overcome Creed as he eventually retreated once more at the plea of Echidna.

As if this were not already enough a third threat had also emerged during the Battle at Mt. Hayaku. Shoko's continued aiding of the Apostles was frowned upon by many of those who knew her. Despite numerous attempts at convincing her, they were met with failure, all the while the guilt continued to build up within her...giving birth to another evil, one that showed itself during the ritual at Mt. Hayaku...

Shoko's emotional torment of having to "become a devil" in order to find her brother reached it's peak, when the dark emotions built up within her allowed an unexpected being to rise from within her: Dark Brain. It was learned that within her armor was a small chunk of the original, placed there by the original Dark Brain to gain some hold over Fighter Roa aka Kouta Azuma. It was learned that Shoko's brother had been in another dimension, fighting Dark Brain on his own, presumably sent their during the incident with Dieu.

The spawn had then chosen to use the girl's body for his own gain, forcing the girl into a perpetual state of despair to sustain him while he looked for ways to bring the original Dark Brain into this world. To the Apostles, it merely looked as if she sealed her emotions away in order to fully work with them without hesitation.

This spawn would actually make an appearance once, however, while Hien first appeared in the forests of Hyakuji commanding his zombie army, 'Shoko' had arrived to aid him as he was found out. However, acting rashly, the spawn would attempt to summon his physical being into the world in order to eliminate the threat quicker. He was pushed back with a little luck due to being entirely unstable and both it and Shoko vanished.

The name Dark Brain would fall into obscurity once more after that, as he chose to lie low...but it would be mentioned during a certain incident that occurred at the beach involving a dimensional rift, one that sent a machine known as the Strike Gundam and a girl known as Aisia Asakura, a person who was running from Dark Brain in that dimension. After the initial explanations the Strike Gundam was sent to Hyakuji, having called back it's eccentric Tech Teacher, Shiki Mizuno, to take care of it.

It was fate, a cruel fate. Aisia would find herself meeting the distraught Shoko on the outskirts of town. The girl who had betrayed everyone in Hyakuji for that small chance of finding her brother would find a small relief in meeting her...only for it to be shattered as Dark Brain twisted the meeting for his own gains, and showing himself to Aisia as a sign that she could not escape his clutches...before disappearing, giving the girl the resolve to save Shoko.

With only two shards left things seemed bleak as the Apostles apperance in the city dimmed long enough granting them a short reprieve. A reprieve that, unfortunately, was not without errors. During the School's Halloween Party a freak accident with a new Science Club experiment temporarily transformed the entire campus into whatever they were costuming as. 8 present as Robot Masters from the popular Mega Man game series began the frightening reality as resident trickster Taishi took advantage of this situation and in his best Dr. Wiley ordered them to destroy the city.

As the 8 Robot Masters assaulted the town there was still hope... three present at the party had also become the champions of said series: Mega Man, Proto Man and Bass. Acompanied by a slew of other students now in the forms of their favorite heroes acompanied them. After besting all 8 the day was saved and eventually the power of the odd machine wore off. However, as a surprise to the twelve who were Mega Man characters discovered they had found odd beings known as Live Metals that had the ability to Bio-Merge with them to transform back into the Robot Form.

Another short break from action gave students time to recover before the Apostles final hand was revealed. To the shock of the entire city the floating nation of Mu once more appeared in the sky as Creed appeared across every monitor or screen in the city. In his usual chaotic tone he addressed the city revealing that they had discovered that Hyakuji's own Principal, Ayumi Hitagawa, was the bearer of one of the two final shards and had kidnapped her. Creed agreed to ransom her safety in exchange for the final shard.

Enraged and desperately wanting to save the Principal the students of the city took to the streets but to their surprise the Apostles had infiltrated it in waiting. In front of the museum where it originally started, atop the mall, in the streets, the air and even inside an unfinished building of Frostfire Industries the students waged war in all these varied locations against the Apostles. In the streets Hiro Tsukasa handed over the final shard, reclaimed from a slumbering and still recovering Kurei to spare her the trouble of fighting, to Charden who promptly sent it onwards to Mu.

Amid this Aisia and Shoko would meet again, engaging battle in an attempt to free Shoko from Dark Brain's control, however it was put on hold as a new development began...

It was at this part things took a turn for the worst. Creed appeared once more hailing the completion of the Angel's Shard. However, to the shock of even the other Apostles Creed revealed he had slaughtered all of Mu, even the Royal Family, and proclaimed himself its new King. His first act was to drop Mu allowing it to crush Hyakuji and from there set up a new base. Enraged by his actions most of the Apostles abandoned the fight save Shiki who, already quite derranged, was driven wilder by Creed's arrogance and ultimately met his death at the hands of the student Ryo and several others.

Quickly, the Apostles all gathered in the same spot bringing along their pursuing students till all parties involved were collected. Outraged the Apostles mutually renounced assisting Creed and Leon, having found a new mentor in Nickle, suggested they assist Hyakuji stop Creed to atone for their sins against them. While Echidna gave them clear directions Charden warped forth a supply of Sky Boards that allowed citizens of Mu to essentially "surf" upon the unique air currents that surround the Island Nation.

Taking to the skies the students of Hyakuji guided by their teachers and several other graduates approached the descending Island dodging various defense systems activated by Doctor in Creed's support. Finally, the collective group of Hyakujians crashed into the Throne Room ready to face Creed who made several shocking revelations. First, he turned over the captured Ayumi safe and sound but undercut this relief by revealing that Doctor had completed his research on Nanomachines and that he was his ultimate project: the direct injection of Nanomachines into the body for support and combative purposes. The end result of this was that Creed had become not only immortal but also invulnerable. Finally, to the surprise of all Creed's Imagine Blade reached up to its final Third Level causing a shocking transformation that well, to be said plainly meant:

CREED HAD FUSED WITH HIS SWORD

Facing off in their final showdown the students and collective fighters from Hyakuji squared off againt Creed and despite their overwhelming advantage even massively timed combo attacks did little to harm the monster as he seemingly felt no pain and any obvious damage, even the blowing off his still natural off-hand arm, was quickly regenrated back to perfection by the Nanomachines. Even impossibly powerful attacks such as Hiro's Dragon Slave or Eiji's Destruction Strike proved to do absolutely nothing to Creed.

Slowly, all those fighting began to weaken and grow tired unable to heal injuries or regain lost powers spent like Creed. Just as all hope seemed lost the strong willpower of the students desperately wishing for a way to overcome Creed's murderous force brought about a miracle. In a flash of wonderous blue light a pale beautiful but oddly familiar woman appeared before everyone and introduced herself as Dieu, a stranger but also a dear friend. She explained she had heard their pleas for help and intended to assist them. Rushing forward the seemingly weak and frail woman pushed one of her hands inside Creed, almost as if a ghost, and in just a few moments severed all the Nanomachines from Creed obliterating them. With a smile of both support and an odd tone of sadness the one named Dieu vanished as an enraged Creed restarted the battle.

However, without the support of his nanomachines Creed soon fell to the combined might of everyone present as the finishing combo actually severed Creed's Imagine Blade from his arm. Utterly defeated, as the Imagine Blade reverted back to simply being the hilt of Koutetsu, it seemed Creed would soon meet his death as well except that at this moment, before anyone could take action, Echidna arrived via a portal along with the other Apostles and pleaded for Creed's life. While Creed lay shattered mentally as his entire worldview had been proven wrong the students, at the behest and lecture of Principal Hitagawa, consented. For the time being it seemed as if all was resolved, but there still remained one Apostle: Doctor.

And to no one's surprise, Doctor too had a trick up his sleeve. Appearing on the conference monitor in the throne room before the rest Doctor gloated and insulted those before him calling them insects in the face of his greatness. He revealed that Creed's Nanomachines were not his ultimate creation and that he would now reveal it. Before any could act Doctor injected himself with a syringe and in moments began to merge with Mu itself. Seconds later the Island began to transform and before they knew it the students were now standing upon the back of a very giant towering monster.

The creature was massive and the power it radiated was so great that despite even his superior abilities not even Hiro could comprehend its limits. Charden, from his personal knowledge, revealed to the group that the beast before them actually existed in Mu's Mythology as their Creator Diety. Doctor now a sort of God proclaimed he would destroy Hyakuji and ultimately other areas as a testament to his superiority. Unable to accept such actions the Apostles and the students banned together to fight against the beast that was still slowly descending to the city.

However, the battle was one of desperation. Already tired from fighting the Apostles and Creed noboby could muster up enough energy to overcome fighting something even stronger but again with the regenrative abilities. Once again, as all hope seemed lost a way forward was opened. Returning again, Dieu swooped through the battle observing everyone's struggle as she searched for her target: Eiji. Upon finding Wo Shing's famous head she made quick introductions but sparing no time explained that she knew despite his actions that he had a heart with good intentions and truly cared for the existence of Hyakuji and for this reason she intended to bestow all her power to him this once in the form of a weapon.

As Dieu vanished this weapon became clear in the form of a small blue orb: a Spirit Bomb. Raising the Spirit Bomb high above his head Eiji began to channel all his remaining power into it and taking note one by one the Apostles, students and all others present began to do the same. As the Spirit Bomb eventually grew to a massive size, even dwarfing the Diety, in a final mighty move Eiji hurled forth Hyakuji's Collective Attack. The Spirit Bomb raced onward to smash directly with the head of the best but inches from collision it was blocked by an odd barrier that seemed to nullify its movement. However, the path forward still existed.

Suddenly, a rose similar to the style Creed carried but of a pale white color struck into the back of the best where most had been standing and emerging from a portal a one-armed Creed clutching a reformed Koutetsu was supported in standing by Echidna. Stepping from her Creed shouted loudly an apology to all present from Hyakuji and also to the Apostles for losing sight of their true spirit and rushing forth charged all of his life force into a his sword swinging a slash so powerful it severed the barrier in two and crashing on the Spirit Bomb collided with the Diety.

In a blinding blaze of light the beast was instantly destroyed and via power or salvaged Sky Boards Hyakuji and the Apostles descended to their unharmed city intact. However, the true greatness of Doctor's plan was not the Diety itself but its design. Due to how he had coded the Nanomachines although the Spirit Bomb destroyed the Diety it allowed Doctor to separate and live on. It seemed as if he might escape the city, desperately clutching his back-up files disc but his aspirations of revenge were cut short as he met his only lose end in the city: Lillian Arion. In her usual confident manner Lillian introduced Doctor to her current culmination of the Nanotech he gave her: viscious wolves the the regenerative ability he so loved to boast of. After toying with the self-presumed rival some Lillian left the Doctor to become food to the very beings he consequently assisted in creating.

And so things had come to a close. Slowly, the Apostles began to depart. Maro intended to travel the world training in the various Martial Arts style until settling to open a school to share his mastery of Mu's Style. Charden and Kyoko parted from Shoko, wishing her an unheard best wishes in finding her brother since she had dissapeared during the battle, as they set off intending to travel as they once had before the Apostles. Meppou had become unaccounted for and MIA amid his duel with Miyuki in the city and this seemed to stay the same case. Leon, thanks to the confidence granted to him by Nickle and Rozanny intended to return to his friends and use the Tao Powers he had gained to finally protect them as he desired. Finally, Echidna and Creed intended to retire to somewhere secluded as she nursed him back to proper health. As the couple began to depart Creed approached Eiji and entrusted him with the hilt to Koutetsu, which had once again broken after his hissatsu against the Diety, as if to truly submit and accept defeat against his rival.

All while this was going on yet another evil had been slowly growing. Though evil would be a bit of an understatement. An eccentric scientist known only as Dr. Faust had taken to Hyakuji for two reasons. One was to search for his missing creation, Kaldia and the other was in search of a mysterious object he came across, items known only as the Lost Logia. One Elza Lanster would encounter one of Faust's creations, Grace, in the park, losing two of the Logia that her family was meant to protect to the mysterious one.

It had been a short time after the incident at Mu when Dark Brain's spawn and Shoko would appear once more, attacking the school directly and breaking into the Neo Photon Labs in order to claim two machines that would prove essential to bringing the real Dark Brain here: Compatible Kaiser and G-Thundergate.

Aisia would be on the scene immediately in order to stop Shoko from bringing this menace here, but things were beginning to look bleak as this time Dark Brain was much stronger then before, able to manifest himself without the need for Shoko as a host and as such abandoned the girl in favor of getting the two machines out of the labs quickly.

It was at that time that Ayane Isuzu, Elza Lanster and Aisia Asakura would band together using the Strike Gundam...but it was no longer the Strike. Due to Shiki's modifications the Strike became five separate powered armor units for the girl's to use....they had become the Kidou Sentai: Strike Rangers! But even with the new found power, it was not enough to send the spawn away...and gambling everything Aisia appealed to the Compatible Kaiser, which had been reacting to the ongoing battle, activating it's Over Gate engine and calling forth the most unexpected of allies: Kouta Azuma.

Together, they quelled the spawn, only for it's physical body to be destroyed but it's spirit remained, and chose to go back to Shoko in order to attempt to regroup...only to be rejected! Together, the Strike Rangers and the Azuma siblings combined their forces in order to vanquish the piece of Dark Brain for good. However, they were left with a grim warning that he would not be destroyed so easily, for as long as negativity exists in the multiverse, Dark Brain will strive.

After the events at the Labs the Azuma siblings would depart Hyakuji, on the trail of the real Dark Brain, bidding the Strike Rangers farewell, they had been told they'd always be there to help if it was needed.

Things fell quiet for the city, but the peace did not last. It was during the Christmas break that Dr. Faust's bioroids would show up in town, this time causing a ruckus that would lead to their presence being known. The fight for the Lost Logia began as the Strike Rangers were quick to respond, but it would be learned that the bioroids level of power was different then that of Dark Brain's spawn as their armor and weapons had trouble dealing with Dr. Faust's creations...only barely able to push them back but keeping the Logia they had attempted to acquire in safe hands thanks to help from Miyuki Takamachi.

It was after this Elza would explain the situation to her fellow Rangers, all the while Shiki began work on upgrading the Strike units to better combat the bioroid threat. Things fell quiet once more, but no one knows how long it will last

The threat of the Apostles of the Stars and the mysterious ancient civilization known as Mu had long ended, The Hellfire Club had fallen silent, for the time Dr. Faust seemed to be in hiding as well: it seemed as if overall threats to the city had vanished... at least for a time things seemed to be looking less bleak and more peaceful for the one and only Hyakuji...

For now, anyways...

 Shin Season 02: Kingdom Hearts Saga

Things had remained calm for quite some time in Hyakuji. While it was not free from threats, Dr. Faust was still at large, The Hellfire Club lurked out there somewhere in the shadows, Lillian still plotted from within her lab, but for the most part it seemed all forces of antagonistic intent were laying dormant. School continued as usual and things were nice if not awkwardly peaceful in Hyakuji.

However, a few months later things quickly changed all in a single day. It was a normal day, just like any other, but slowly dark black clouds began to grow in the sky all across the world. While some sensed the ominous clouds as the harbringer of something evil others attended classes nervously keeping their gaze more out the windows than on the teachers' lectures. Then... it happened...

It seemed almost as if the cosmos itself were cracking apart. The black clouds split opened and monstrous creatures flooded not only Hyakuji but the entire planet. The small black shadowy beings (vaguely similar to the beasts the students had faced from Mu months ago) flooded and overran everywhere in mere moments. Though some fought back their efforts seemed futile. Though the shadowy being seemed weak their numbers were never ending and slowly larger, more powerful and more fearsome monsters began to appear being a tough match even for the veteran teachers.

These beings, this unstoppable attacking force, was known as the Heartless; an interdimensional group of beings pledged to the powers of Darkness. They existed only to consume the metaphysical hearts of not only other people but also other worlds and in the process not only proliferate their own existence but also spread the Darkness as well. Hyakuji was not alone. No, perhaps it is best to say Hyakuji is alone. It exists as its own world. But in the great macrocosom there are many different worlds, some similar, others drastically different from Hyakuji.

Regularly these worlds remain independant, disconnected, and blissfully unaware of the existence of alternate universes and other worlds beyond their own. However, the Heartless changed all this. By invading worlds, searching for its very heart, the Heartless began unlocking worlds from being isolated creating something of a chain connected one world to all others the Heartless had invading enabling travel between them.

Unfortunately for Hyakuji, despite their best efforts to fight back the Heartless quickly overwhelmed the world and discovering the location of its heart devoured it plunging Hyakuji into the endless darkless that the Heartless bring. As the world began to break apart and descend into the darkness salvation came as those within the world seemed to be flung forth into the newly formed multi-verse of worlds all connected by the invasion of the Heartless.

Hyakuji is lost to darkness and its residents flung among the many worlds currently plummeting towards the very same fate. In this bold new universe one thing becomes clear about how it works: Light & Dark. The Heartless, ever expanding, spread the Dark in their wake and those that begin to walk towards them are rewarded with their insurmountable might. Yet there are also those that stand against the Heartless, Champions of Light, who wield a mysterious weapon know as the Keyblade seek to systematically free the worlds from the Heartless and seal them back off as they once were before this tragedy.

Complicating things rumors are circulating wildly throughout the worlds of a mysterious group known as Organization XIII. It is unknown who they are, what their intent is or exactly where they come from. All that is known is that they are extremely powerful and a force to be reckoned with if met in battle.

Which side will each student from Hyakuji choose as they travel this new world? What path: Savior or Destroyer? Will they seek to be heroes of justice, restore worlds and maybe even find Hyakuji itself one day? Or will they open themselves to the Heartless, grow closer to them and push themselves to the pinnacle of their own might and become stronger than attending Hyakuji High School could've ever possibly made them?

Lost in this new multiverse the residents of Hyakuji quickly befriended other travelers all seeking the same goal: The destruction of these beings known as Heartless and undoing their growing destruction. While exploring the various worlds it became quickly apparent that the Heartless had swayed their control over many powerful people. A demon named Laharl marched what could only be called an army against some in battle while elsewhere travelers squared off against a powerful witch named Medusa vying to revive an ancient demon known as a Kishin.

However, things finally became clearer. A giant heartless known as Darkside emerged within Traverse Town, the Hub many had been using to safely rest between traveling worlds, alongside an army of Heartless hellbent on devouring its world heart. Hyakuji and its allies fought back bravely but the Heartless seemed endless. Eventually the oft rumored Organization XIII showed up and for some reason their arrival sparked Darkside's retreat. Finally face to face with these mystery people who at times had attacked those present their leader, Xemnas, revealed their purpose.

They explained how the Heartless survived off devouring hearts and their ultimate goal was the World Hearts, the very heart off a world which gave it its entire existence. Organization XIII introduced themselves as allies seeking to save the World Hearts and ultimately find a way to defeat the Heartless for good. They admitted, however, to having vested interests in the matter being they were Nobodies: beings who'd had their hearts taken by the Heartless yet their strong will allowed the body to live on with the same memories but devoid of feeling emotions. The Org seemed to believe that in helping defeat the Heartless they might regain what they had lost.

Finally, Xemnas explained of the Keyblades to everyone. A mysterious key-shaped sword that some present had materialized in the fight. The Keyblades were a legendary weapon designed to battle the Heartless but that only those who walked in the path of Light in their hearts could wield. Despite being experted at dispatching Heartless, the hearts a keyblade released by defeated them were sent to someting Xemnas explained as Kingdom Hearts. This mythical almost legendary thing held the power to grant any desire and it was the Org's plan to complete it and then use Kingdom Hearts to erase the Heartless from existence.

Though some seemed skeptic of their motives the partnership with the Organization began as Hyakuji and its allies started exploring the various connected worlds seeking out their World Hearts to seal off before the Heartless could find them.

However, their next endeavor would not end as well. The world of Florencia began to be under attack by massive waves of undead all lead by an evil Necromancer who had alligned himself with the Heartless and was desperately seeking Florencia's World Heart to offer it up in exchange for more power. Though an assembled force of Hyakujians and fighters from the Nine Worlds battled back while also searching for the World Heart their efforts were in vain. Delayed by fighting the brunt of the Necromancer's force allowed him to find the World Heart and moments later it was devoured by the Heartless.

This sent Florencia to suffer the same fate as Hyakuji becoming devoured into total darkness and erasing from existence all from its world as the force gathered from other worlds were once again dumped out to another world. The group arrived in The World That Never Was, a mysterious place none had encountered before. It was stylized as a modern but darkly cast city with a large white castle in the distance all illuminated by a bright heart-shaped moon. There they met the Organization member Xiroh who taunted the group at their failure to save Florencia and then sent them on their way back to Traverse Town stating that they weren't meant to be in this world.

Next the travelers became even further disheartened as another world fell. The World of EXE, a world where the internet and cyberspace had developed exponentially over all other things. Many of its own inhabitants fought back against the invading Heartless-ized Viruses, but their own arrogance and lust for combat ended up bringing about the discovery of its World Heart which was promptly devoured by the Heartless plunging yet another World into the Darkness.

However, as time rolled on not every encounter was defeat. The World known as Shinya, a world that eerily resembled Hyakuji, in fact, brought about surprising results:

Heartless appeared in massive numbers, attacking Shinya once more seeking out it's heart. Arcadia and several others showed up to fight the army. They were doing pretty well until god showed up.

Sha-Dieu descended from the sky, awakening in everyone present the memories of Hyakuji's destruction at the hands of Dieu, and Dieu eventually abandoning that Hyakuji and creating a new one. Dieu claims Shinya is the abandoned Hyakuji and turns it into Hyakuji, destroying Shinya. Dieu summons all the heartless and combines their power to use the for two purposes.

1: to destroy all the heartless at once by having those present defeat them

and 2: to seek out the heart of the world so he could consume it and truly make it become Hyakuji.

The heartless were turned into former Hyakuji villains. Zorc, Shadow, Gwang, Zoranari, and Rawani. The combined forces of the Hyakujians, Arcadians, and those of the nine worlds managed to defeat Shadow and Rawani, they then split up to face the other three.

Erin, Damon, and Jameson used Hyakuzor along with Taiga and her Zeronos Liner, and Kouta and his Compatible Kaiser to defeat Zorc in downtown with HOT BLOOD AND PASSION.

Those whom went to face Gwang found themselves in a more troublesome situation as there was a great deal of interpersonal conflict that lead to fighting amongst themselves. Aisia and Ayane were once again pitted against each other, Star lost control of her powers and attacked everyone, and Kazuna decided to protect Ayane even if it meant betraying everyone else.

Somewhere in there they found the spare time to fight Gwang and save the world.

Gwang was eventually defeated through a combined effort of everyone, but not before finding the heart of Shinya.

The combatants who fought Zoranari said some things, then everyone kind of stood around. We're absolutely certain there was an epic stuggle of life and death there. It was probably pretty sweet, no one is quite sure.

Sha-Dieu raced to the heart of the world against the combined forces of the gathered heroes. It was a very close race, and the ending would have been pretty sweet. Except Asia just teleported to the keyhole and closed it and the world was saved.

Sha-Dieu was pretty pissed, as can be expected.

The remaining forces fought against Sha-Dieu, but the heart of the world turned out to be the Tree of Origins, which gave the combatants a great deal more power and allowed them to destroy Sha-Dieu once and for all. Sha-Dieu revealed before he died that his power had come from the memories of Hyakuji and the hatred of the people of Shinya for the god that abandoned them. Eventually their hatred changed, and their world changed as well. The Tree of Origins was exactly that, their new beginning; born out of Hyakuji but standing on its own as its own.

With the world sealed the heroes continued on their journey to find and save Hyakuji, and end this conflict for good. However, they had ran out of time. For reasons unknown Xemnas was ready for the end-game scenario in his plan and subtly manipulated those below him into betrayal. At the same time Zander, a pupil of Jameson, had been investigating the Org secretly and upon being caught by Xemnas Jameson appeared sacrificing his life to let Zander escape with the info.

Drawn into a frenzy over the death of Jameson those gathered in Traverse Town they were quickly led to find the path to The World That Never Was as one of the Org's own Nobodies betrayed Xemnas and opened a way for them to take. The combined might of those from Hyakuji, the nine worlds, BOARD's Riotroopers, Arcadia's Fire Division and the complete Fairy Tail Guild all rained in upon The World That Never Was forcing a final showdown between them and Organization XIII.

As people took different paths throughout the Dark City and worked their way into Castle Oblivion different groups found their advances blocked by one of the Organization Numbers. As each fight raged on the attackers fought as if it might be their last battle knowing they could not accept defeat against the Org. In each situation the Org Number was pushed into using the Zodiac Stone Xemnas had imparted to them, transforming them into a powerful Lucavi Demon.

However, despite this in the end the attackers overcame the Org's Nobodies leaving only Xemnas alive. As they collectively stormed the Altar of Naught the group was in for surprise after surprise. First, Xemnas revealed that Principal Hitagawa was the key to activating Kingdom Hearts. Furthermore, he revealed himself to be the one controlling all the Heartless using them as half a set of actors to manipulate the rest of them into defeating them as he needed their defeat to power up Kingdom Hearts to completion. Step by step Xemnas went back over everything had occurred revealing how he had secretly been pulling the strings all the time; even their discovery of the information Jameson had died to let Zander escape with was only allowed because Xemnas willed it to occur.

All of this was to realize Xemnas ultimate goal of using Kingdom Hearts to merge all worlds into a single Universe: The World of Nothing. A world where all things and everyone exist as one... perfectly interconnected so everyone knows all also posses no feelings such that there can never exist sadness or hurt.

Unable to give any more time to such a raving lunatic Hiro Tsukasa blitzed Xemnas but was defeated by a single blow which left a gaping hole in his stomach proving that this time it was solely up to the students and their allies, who had spent all this time training their control of Light and Darkness, to finish the battle. Xemnas, however, was no fool and knowing he could not take them all on at once he revealed he had been creating devices to manipulate Kingdom Hearts power.

The first was the Heart Barrier preventing more than five people at once to face off against Xemnas. Not long into the fight Xemnas revealed another tool, the Heart Cannon, which sent down a blast so powerful it critically damaged the structure of the tower they were within. As the battle raged on things began to shift in favor of those fighting to save their worlds when a glitch in the Heart Barrier allowed 10 within forcing Xemnas' hand.

He then revealed that he was the bearer of a secret 13th Zodiac Stone and that those were also a part of his plan. He had infused each Lucavi with the dna of Heartless making them each represent insanely powerful heartless. This meaning that it was their earlier defeat of the Nobodies in their Lucavi form that completed Kingdom Hearts. Activating the 13th stone Xemnas transformed into the Lucavi known as Zodiark just as the tower crumbled plunging everyone into darkness.

They appeared in a void of blackness before a white elaborate door which Zodiark revealed to be Kingdom Hearts. No longer protected by the Barrier all present began a full on assault against Zodiark but his new powers let him fight on par with their numbers. The group was slowly achieving a lead over Zodiark but then things took another twist.

From within Zodiark another being tore his way forth murdering Xemnas/Zodiark in the process. This man revealed himself to be Ansem; the original of Xemnas that had accepted the darkness and created the first Nobody. Then he proceeded to trap all present within black chains rendering all their powers useless as Ansem gloated before them. He explained that Darkness was the ultimate power, in his mind, and that it was the fate of Darkness to spread out and consume and destroy everything. Because Kingdom Hearts was fated to be the ultimate power, it could therefore only be Darkness as well.

Ansem intended to claim Kingdom Hearts power himself and use it to fulfill its destiny of destroying all it could reach across the Multiverse. Principal Ayumi Hitagawa, the chosen key to the door, was sent into Kingdom Hearts to unlock as those present voiced their refusal to accept Ansem's world view. Gloating that they were pathetic and unable to do more Ansem prepared to call upon Kingdom Hearts. However, it was in this moment that fate turned.

Ayumi emerged from the door prematurely empowered with Light. Against Ansem's desires she revealed that Kingdom Hearts was in truth Light and that it answered to the strongest desire present... that in the hearts of all those present to defeat the Heartless and save their worlds. Unlocking Kingdom Hearts, the Principal sent forth blinding light that freed everyone present and restored their wounds; even going so far as to forcefully place them into their Drive Form states.

At the peak of their ability everyone present rushed Ansem, who could only view his enemies as a single wall of Light impossible for his tainted mind to wrap around, finishing the battle in an illustrious wave of combination attacks. The mastermind behind everything and the Heartless defeated, The World That Never Was began to crumble. Principal Hitagawa revealed that Kingdom Hearts would restore the lost worlds to their state just before the Heartless had invaded and after doing so the roads that connected all the different universes would close once again fixing everything back to its proper order.

Only those present would recall what had happened and those that desired it would return to Hyakuji or their own Worlds of origin. Slowly, Kingdom Hearts drew in everyone and in a final flash of Light everything was restored. The Multiverse had been saved and Hyakuji High School was back to normal.

Shin Hyakuji High School: The Motion Picture
-All Hiro's VS. Dai-Hellfire Club-

*This story takes place during Season 2 at no set time other than before its Finale.

Kurayami Fuzen (better known as just Yami), the supernatural being that was the pure embodiment of all negative thoughts and feelings within Hyakuji's Master of Mystic Arts Hiro Tsukasa. When Hyakuji fell to the Heartless the dark beings offered Yami a once in a lifetime chance; the ability to separate his essence from Hiro and become an independant being. A bitter side effect of this proposal was that it ripped all magical powers from Hiro and they departed with Yami. Now, a being not only with Hiro's magic but his own natural abilities as a vampire (retaining this trait from Hiro's own short stint as one) Yami proved to be a grossly powerful threat.

However, Yami refused to aide the Heartless intending to follow his own goal. Just being his own person wasn't enough; Hiro Tsukasa had to die for him to truly feel like he existed as a real person. Setting this into motion Yami discovered a war-torn world devoid of much life and built a gigantic tower. It was within this tower that, using Hiro's Magic, Yami ressurected from the dead several past foes of Arcadia: Hiro's ultimate foe Cain and his two disciples Judah and Count Viscard. With these four as the core, known as the Vampire Quartet, they formed the Dai-Hellfire Club.

Yami's plan was quite simple. After studying the multiverse he realized that a multitude of other Hiro Tsukasa's existed in other worlds. Studying them further though each was usually quite different they held a few intrinsic traits among them; being a force for good at the forefront. Realizing it wasn't enough to just kill the Hiro he knew, Yami wished to remove all traces of Hiro Tsukasa from the Multiverse.

From other worlds Yami recruited foes of other Hiro Tsukasa's: Kusanagi Tsukasa (From Alone in the Wind World), Lord of Darkness (From Ragnarok World) and finally the Zero Virus (From EXE World) as Dai-Hellfire's Three Great Generals of Darkness.

Meanwhile, Hiro Tsukasa searched desperately for a way to regain his powers avoiding many of the other Hyakuji denizens feeling he was too weak and helpless to be of any worth to them. He finally realized he would have to face Yami to reclaim them and so he looked a lot for the guy, decided he was only worth protecting a single child for the moment in a mass display of emo and ultimately found re-encouragement in the arms of a sultry succubus.

Things finally came to a head simultaneously as Hiro discovered the location of Yami the same time Yami sent a false call into Traverse Town of the world Dai-Hellfire's Tower was located in as being attacked in hopes to summon Hiro there to defend it along with others. As a force of other world travelers arrived they were shocked to meet not the Hiro Tsukasa those from Hyakuji knew but FOUR Hiro Tsukasa's from other worlds.

Former Zeon Commander Hiro Tukasa (AITW World), Former Net Savior Hiro Tsukasa (EXE World), Professor Hiro Tsukasa (RO World) and Raidou Kuzunoha (The Perfect World) all collectively introduced themselves and after the group gathered got over the confusion a great battle broke out as the combined army of Dai-Hellfire emerged from the tower led by the Three Great Generals of Darkness.

It was an epic three pronged battle as some fought on the ground, some waged war in the sky piloting mobile suits and yet others dueled against the Zero Virus in the Mobile Battleship Nadesico's cyberspace. Though those gathered were impossibly outnumbered their combined might and determination eventually brought them to victory.

However, their victory was short lived. Cain, Judah and Count Viscard emerged from the tower to engage the group in battle. Despite now outnumbering their enemies these powerful foes proved too much. It had taken all of Arcadia together to drop Judah and Viscard once before and Cain easily outstripped the power of both combined. To make matters worse Yami had reinforced all three with many spells to boost their powers further to a point of nigh insanity; Viscard's barrier magic even going so far as being able to stop a Big Bang Punch dead in its tracks.

Meanwhile, as this was going on Hiro Tsukasa (Hyakuji World) had snuck in unnoticed and intended to slip into the tower and confront Yami alone. However, anticipating him Yami got the drop and swiftly captured Hiro swooping him away to a Pocket Dimension wherein he intended to perform a forbidden magic ritual that would erase all traces of Hiro Tsukasa from all worlds.

As the ritual began Yami taunted Hiro about his life and his poor choices and failures. However, through all of this Hiro remained defiant refusing to accept the negative world view his counterpart held. As the ritual began to hit the point where Hiro would start to vanish Yami challenge the man that he was a curse upon worlds bringing only hurt and destruction.

To this challenge Hiro Tsukasa answered, "I'm not a perfect person, but there are still people in these worlds that I care about and must protect." In this single instant a power erupted, Magic not from supernatural energies but from sheer willpower that countered the ritual causing an explosion of power that, while it didn't remove the powers from Yami, restored Hiro Tsukasa's Magic.

In a flash Hiro and Yami appeared back in the real world among the losing battle against the trio of Vampires and now fully assembled the Vampire Quartet seemed ready to battle to the death. Hiro, however, refused to allow those that had cared so much to come fight this far to fall. With a snap of the finger Hiro Tsukasa instantly teleported in the rest of Arcadia, all of the Fairy Tail guild and every other person he could remember or think of as an ally.

This new combined force held equal ground against the Vampire Quartet and despite their boosted powers one by one they began to fall. Yami, unfortunately, feigned his own death allowing a fake copy to be killed as he slipped off, away and to another world settling for the best possible result. In the end this left a single member of Dai-Hellfire Club: Cain.

Ever the impossible foe Cain refused to die even against a literal army of super powered beings. Finally, Cain challenged Hiro to end the battle because there still existed one method that would be powerful enough to defeat him; the forbidden spell Exodus. Exodus was one of a handful of ultra powerful magic spells that only the most adept could learn to cast and even then were forbidden by all communities of magic-workers. This particular spell instantly killed its target as a ghastly otherworldly force dismembered the target and dragged their literal spirit into Hell. However, the spell carried a high cost. With each cast the user tainted their own soul slowly and upon its third cast the user would suffer the same fate as that of the spell's target.

Cain then revealed that it was Hiro Tsukasa's previous two castings of Exodus since arriving in Hyakuji that had brought Yami into existence; the taint on his soul merging with the negative feelings within his heart. Feeling responsible for the problems Yami brought into existence and accepting the fact there was now no other attack or power strong enough to defeat Cain, Hiro Tsukasa bid farewell to all present and casted the final use of Exodus defeating Cain.

Moments later a massive hole severed the ground as ghastly formless spirit hands grasped the Sorcerer dragging him away and into a hellish fate. However, at this point the four Otherworld Hiro's had a problem. Everyone had gathered here, many of them strangers for one another. They had fought for Hiro Tsukasa despite not really knowing this was the point at first or that it had all been orchestrated by Yami and a powerful bond had been formed that had overcome an entire organization of evil power; could they really let it end like this?

Shouting a defiant no to the situation the Nadesico crew crashed their battleship into the hole preventing it from being sealed as the remaining descended into Hell itself fighting their way past several power Arch-Demons to literally grab Hiro Tsukasa and drag him out; the Nadesico firing its gravity blast cannon upon everyone's escape for good measure as it retreated and the hole sealed up.

For whatever reason, perhaps their willpower, perhaps such a sudden attack and display of force against something most would fear, but whatever the case one the hole was sealed no further attempts came; it seemed as if a cosmic fault was called and Hiro Tsukasa excused from the fate Exodus carried. In the aftermath the Four Hiro's gave Hiro Tsukasa a proper smacking around for doing something so reckless as trying to sacrifice himself when so many people had come on his behalf. Vowing to never rely on Forbidden Magic ever again and instead believe in his own power and the strength that friendship brought, Hiro erased the knowledge of Exodus from his mind.

Victorious and with a once great resident of Hyakuji restored to his former self both in power and mood the group returned to Traverse Town to celebrate and, for many of those present from Hyakuji's World, catch up with their teacher.

 Shin Season 03: Kaimu Saga

The silence of peace never seems to last long for Hyakuji. As classes begin again and the insanity of the Multiverse slowly became a fond memory things began building once again to a new crescendo. Slowly, the ground seemed to be lay for several smaller issues.

With BOARD properly settled into the city they began to run across a mysterious new threat. a USB key stylized device called a Gaia Memory being sold to people on the street along with a tattoo-like brand which interfaces with it to transform people into monster-like being known as Dopant. The long term effects of such use remain unknown but seem to be possibly addictive.

The Elemancer Tower, long needing repair, has become restructured into a full blown Castle and coinciding with their reopening Elemental Beasts have seem to appeared taking an interest in the city and its Elemancers though their true purpose or their reason to be here remains unknown.

Upon their return from the Multiverse, Wo-Shing seems to have smuggled back dangerous high-technology from Legacy's World. What their plans entail for the futuristic battleship and the technology it holds on board is unknown. On top of this situation it seems their acquisition of such technology has drawn the eyes of those higher within the Group.

Meanwhile, Arcadia's monitoring of the city's supernatural issues have discovered that the leylines which run under the city, long reported as being off and tainted with negative energy, are not only still off after the Multiverse excursion but growing worse daily. What this might be a precursor of remains unknown but they fact stands that their nemesis The Hellfire Club has been unusually quite for some time.

As if all this wasn't enough the school as a whole will begin to face a new threat. However, this time their foe is not an enemy they can simply confront, overpower and defeat. For mysterious reasons unknown Botan Fudo, Head of the Fudo Family, has decided to drop their financial backing of Hyakuji High School. Unknown till now the Japanese Government had slowly been reducing their funding of the school on the grounds of its danger which only rose with each year.

The past few years the school only stayed afloat due to the backing of the Fudo Family. Now, without that money, after the current school semester they would run out of money and Hyakuji High School would go bankrupt and be forced to close indefinitely. It's a new villain for the school and its students, but not the type that can be defeated directly.

Facing the very loss of what binds them all together Hyakuji High School begins to brainstorm and hunt for ways to raise the money before the end of the school semester...

HHS Funding Raised: 0%

The students, led by Erin, decided to organize a treasure hunt based on a local rumor. With some thought they realized it was related to a similar rumor from years ago .They found three entrances through some research and decided to make it a race. The groups split into three and dove down into the mysterious network of caves below Hyakuji...

Jameson lead Fuu, Star, Meglumar, Kyonka and Jen down into the water under the falls. The same secret entrance he'd used years ago. Only this time they had to take a much more treacherous and winding path while avoiding dragons. Jameson was split from the group and the group was forced into a large open cavern...

A second team of Selene, Morgan, Zander, Quinn, Erin and Haru enter through a secret tunnel hidden under the gazebo. Theirs leads to a platform which slides under their weight sending them slipping down several tunnels. Morgan and Quinn wind up in the large cavern while Selene, Zander and Erin (male) wind up in a new place..

The third group of Erin, Chizu, Damon, Hikaru, Adam, and Kai entered through a cave in the woods. The third tunnel led a long winding path which thanks to a booby trap had no exit. They were forced into a large cavern where unbeknown to them a large spider was waiting, hidden behind an illusionary spell. Luckily group A arrived just in time to alert them to the danger as well as Morgan and Quinn from group C. The new uber group battled it out with the giant spider and it's thousands of babies in a rather close confrontation..

Zander, Selene, and Erin (male) wound up in a new area sealed off. However a large frozen hole was found above them Selene unfroze the hole with her summon and found access to the room where the spider battle had taken place earlier. After clearing the room the group moved through the corridors until they found the other merged group...

Having found an exit most of the group opted out of continuint the hunt leaving only Erin, Erin (male), Jameson, Zander, Damon, Meglumar, Chizu, Star, Jennifer, and Adam for the final confrontation.. They moved ahead and faced the daddy of all the dragons. After a large battle where they incapacitated all the dragons they had finally done it. But the mystery of how this treasure, and all these traps, had gotten there still remained. Luckily a book left there explained everything.

The treasure was from the old private school that predated Hyakuji. Inside it told that this treasure contained many dangerous items recovered from when the OLD school had suffered it's fair share of dangerous adventures. The note offered a bit of hope for the enduring spirit of the school and pleaded that all the dangerous items be cared for carefully.

Jameson arranged for all the items to be sent to Arcadia for danger assessment and the ones without magical powers to be sold in secret just in case anyone should try to steal it from them.

HHS Funding Raised: 25%

As the school days went by and Fall began to set int the students began to organize another plan to raise money for the school. Collectively, the students intended to put on a massive Town Festival not only celebrating the city itself but raising more money to help out the school.

It was quite the festive weekend. From fortune telling to traditional matsuri games to a haunted house and even a Karaoke Cafe; the festival went off as a huge success. Eventually, everything culminated in the climax; a Battle of the Bands competition which all the students gathered to view and cheer on friends who had entered.

Though many bands played it ultimately came down to three contenders Mabushi Misfits, P3P and the mysterious River City Ransom. RCR was staffed by five delinquent students Tatsuya, Kazama, Daigo, Aya and Rika who had been causing trouble in the city and picking fights with other students for a few weeks leading up to the event.

Though all the bands fought hard, River City Ransom managed to squash much of the competition with their virtual pro-level skill. The big finale came down to P3P Vs. River City Ransom. Everything had been perfect. The School was now far closer to its monetary goal and everyone waited in excitement for the final showdown of the two bands.

HHS Funding Raised: 50%

But then a great tragedy occurred. At the end of River City Ransom's set the band turned on the crowd unleashing a deadly gas cloud laced with a new strain of the plague of Hyakuji; The Full Monty Virus. As the virus began to eat away the clothes of those in the crowd RCR remained safe having treated their stage clothes beforehand.

As total and utter chaos ensued the band began to snap photos of the crowd with their cellphone with the intentions of blackmail. However, as some students (especially those in the other bands) began to mount an offensive against RCR it seemed as though the five were carrying out the act begrudgingly without a choice.

Between students overreacting and making the virus spread even worse than before and the general confusion going on the members of RCR managed to escape leaving the conclusion of the festival a rather sour note.

However, unbeknown to the anyone, the five members of River City Ransom were actually students at Hyakuji's most fervent rival Kaimu High School. The band had infiltrated Hyakuji to enact this plot at the behest of Kaimu's own Student Council. In truth, the most peaceful member of the band, Aya, suffered from a terminal disease and didn't have long to live. Though one of the council members had a power which could be used to treat her, the Student Council President ransomed their cooperation in the Council's plan against saving Aya's life.

Content that Aya was saved but not proud of their actions RCR was glad to be done with the Council's machinations. However, they quickly realized things were worse than they thought. Though Aya was treated it became clear the council would find ways to force them to act again, if they refused, as they still had need of their powers.

Meanwhile, Kaimu's Student Council President enacted the final phase of this stage of her wicked plan. Contacting Hyakuji's Principal Hitagawa anonymously she blackmailed the photos of Hyakuji's students for the money that had been raised for the festival. With her hands tied and all possible alternatives already outlawed by the meticulous conditions the StuCo President had set, Principal Hitagawa was forced to submit for the sake of Hyakuji's students.

Rumors quickly spread among the school of the blackmailing incident sending a wave of despair throughout most of the students. Despite all their hard work it had all be in vain and with this event it was clear their aggressors would most likely continue such assaults in the future. However, for everyone in Hyakuji the source of their mysterious antagonists remained unclear.

HHS Funding Raised: 25%

As school carried on, unable to find a lead on their enemy the gaze of Hyakuji's students turned towards another threat. Jameson Wilicott and Hiro Tsukasa finally decided to band together resources and connections to tackle one of Hyakuji's long underlying problems: the criminal organization known as the Wo-Shing Society. Banding together a force made of the Wilicott Detective Agency, Arcadia, the Elemancers, Kamen Riders from BOARD and a plethora of students opposed to the crime syndicate's grasp on the city a direct assault was launched on Wo-Shing's Hyakuji Branch HQ.

The battle was long, culminating in an epic showdown of giant robots but in the end the students of Hyakuji and their teachers were victorious. Wo-Shing's Hyakuji Branch was utterly destroyed. Hyakuji was freed from the clutches of the Wo-Shing Society and though its executive officers escaped it would surely be a long time before they opted to attempt re-opening the Branch. However, this came at a high cost. Well known Hyakuji graduate, Rozanny, devoted her very life to Wo-Shing's cause as the assault began and when the dust settled the crimson haired Pyromancer perished in combat against her own friends. Wost of all, this meant leaving behind her now parent-less daughter Alexia.

During a Christmas celebration at Underground 10 students once again came face to face with River City Ransom. However, their meeting ended without a fight. Instead, it was revealed that things were not so black and white as most students assumed. The band was forced into their actions by another for the sake of saving the life of one of their own.

As they parted ways Aya, the one whose health condition required the band assist the Student Council to start with, left behind a note to give Hyakuji's students the name of their enemy: Kaimu High School. Almost immediately, Jameson Willicott began to plan a counter-prank against the rival school as a means of paying them back for the Town Festival fiasco.

After a few weeks of planning and calling in every favor possible, Jameson's plan was put into action. Late at night, a large number of Hyakuji students led by teacher Alyssa Bell warped onto Kaimu's campus and split into two teams. One team to set up the prank and one team to act as decoys and set up a distraction. However, the students quickly discovered all was not well with their plan.

Both teams were jumped by students from Hyakuji known only as the Execution Squad. These were the elite of the elite within the school. Those possessing the strongest of abilities and by free will or force had pledged to help carry out their President's plan against Hyakuji. Despite these delays, each team managed to reach their destination. Team 2 occupied the intercom room of the school and unleashed their secret weapon: Arcadia's Excalibur. The legendary blade went to work almost immediately commandeering the intercom and unleashing an endless rant of stories about his life and many adventures since the 12th Century.

Letting this distraction draw much of their resistance, Team 1 reached the center of campus and unleashed the prank itself. In moments, the entire campus had been blanketed in a gas cloud that held a new strain of the Full Monty Virus which, instead of devouring clothes, dyed clothes to Hyakuji's school colors. The only way to reverse this effect? Simple. To sing Hyakuji High School's anthem.

As this went on, Jameson confronted Kaimu's Student Council President directly but she remained unimpressed. In one fell swoop she revealed that her own powers were mental-based and that it was she who implanted the idea for Aya to leak Kaimu's name to Hyakuji and bait them into coming. Letting them get onto campus, letting them get as far as they did; all of it was planned by the President.

Now stuck in the depths of Kaimu's campus, the President advanced her plan to phase two. From the underneath the campus a mighty super robot rose, intended to rival Hyakuji's own, known only as King Kaimu. The President herself boarded this machine and intended to use it to destroy Hyakuji's students. However, even for this Jameson had called in favors to prepare.

Sending out another call, the reserve force he had set joined the fight. While this included many more students it also brought forth Hyakuzor piloted by Jonathan Desmond, Katy King and Seth Rouga. As Hyakuzor and King Kaimu began a face off at the center of campus, the students of Hyakuji continued their fight with the Execution Squad.

However, the Squad received back up of its own. Now adorned with black collars that would shock and ultimately kill if they refused to fight, River City Ransom had been ordered to join the battle. Lamenting their situation, the band spread out among the school building thanks to one of Kazama's spells and began to fight seeing no other alternatives. They had gone too far to turn back.

Brandon Groza and Yuki Tsukiyoru faced off against Tatsuya and Aya. While Aya's collar was modified so that her sole requirement was the use of her Supportive abilities, Tatsuya vowed to fight and bear the sin for her. However, kind words from both Yuki and Brandon deterred Tatsuya's will to fight.

He lamented their situation to them and fully explained why the band had antagonized Hyakuji in the past. Brandon shared his own painful past and for the first time, Tatsuya realized there was really little difference between themselves and the students from Hyakuji.

Meanwhile, Jameson faced off against lead guitarist Daigo and initially tried to reason the boy out of the fight. However, accepting the inevitability their black collars brought Daigo vowed to fight on. This prompted Jameson to henshin to Kamen Rider Skull and, having been intrigued by them in past encounters, Daigo wished to test the strength of a Rider against his own super strength.

As their duel raged on Raven, a member of the Execution Squad and brother to Hyakuji's own student Crow Hiroshima, and his opponents, Tekiou Kobushi and Ikki Sanjiro mixed into the fray. Though they were evenly matched, Skull held the lead due to his armor. Just as Daigo began to try and take the fight with the intent to win Skull used a focused Rider-Punch letting the residual electricity strike the exact point on Daigo's collar to destroy the arming mechanism first.

Consequently, this broke Daigo's collar avoiding all the fail safes to protect against tampering and thus freed the boy from the President's control. As Jameson left to assist others, Daigo's role was clear. Turning on Raven, he attacked his fellow student and began to race throughout the building searching for his comrades so that he might free them as well and collectively they could escape Kaimu High School during the confusion of this battle.

Hiroto Sato and his rune magic-based animal summoning squared off in a one on one duel with Kazama's dual magic pistols Cthuga & Ithaqua. Though Kazama initially seemed to hold the upper hand his overconfident became his downfall. Grossly underestimating Hiroto, Kazama was eventually overwhelmed by the boy's summons and received several brutal wounds.

Just as the battle hit its climax, Daigo interrupted and by charging ki into a punch recreated the same condition Jameson had caused; breaking Kazama's collar and freeing him as well. Kazama conceded his fight to Hiroto fully admitting his opponent had won and parted ways to join Daigo in his search for the others.

Sarah Blueskies found herself crossing swords with River City Ransom's keyboard player and expert swords-woman Rika. With her usual cold demeanor, Rika taunted Sarah over the ornate design of her sword and lack of skill against Rika's; who had spent much of her life learning the way of the sword due to her family.

However, Rika's words were not simply all talk. Using a special technique that created the illusion of many swords to mask the true strike Rika was able to strike a killing blow on Sarah running her katana straight through her stomach. But this did not end the battle, in an explosion of light Sarah found herself having lost memories restored and her wound healed. In the aftermath, Sarah's skill with the sword had increased manifold and she found herself able to stand toe to toe with Rika as an equal.

As Rika launched her illusion technique once more, Sarah found herself able to discern the true blade and launched a counter-attack forcing Rika to give up her offense and parry. This block broke Rika's katana. Refusing to admit defeat, Rika wholeheartedly intended to fight on with a broken blade. However, it was at this moment that Daigo had discovered the two and managed to talk Rika down convincing her that finding their friends and escaping was more important. In the end, Rika conceded and with a respectful bow declared Sarah the victor of their duel.

As all these battles occurred within the school building, Hyakuzor's showdown with King Kaimu raged on. Though the trio piloting initially seemed hopeful that the city's Steel God could end the battle without much problem the situation took a turn for the worse. Kaimu's StuCo President revealed that King Kaimu had been built to be superior to Hyakuzor in every way, shape and form and that they had even studied videos of all of Hyakuzor's past battles to gather intel.

King Kaimu quickly began to overwhelm Hyakuzor and several risky moves due to the inexperience of its pilots seemed as if it might cost them any hope of victory. During the battle, one of Hyakuzor's beams ended up as stray fire and decimated several buildings surrounding the school. It was then that the President revealed the climax of her plan. To blackmail Hyakuji a second time by framing this "prank" like the students had launched an all out war on Kaimu.

Refusing to admit defeat, Hyakuzor's pilots fought on in desperation finally managing to outsmart the President and get in a little damage on King Kaimu. This stunned the President into shock and taking advantage of this Hyakuzor riskily entered a second Overboost Mode as all three pilots gave it their all with every ounce of courage in their hearts. Though they did not bring down King Kaimu, Hyakuzor managed to rip off all of the stomach armor and reveal the cockpit within.

This blow to her pride sent the President into a seemingly psychotic episode. Her mental powers flared out of the control and began to crush the mind of everyone in the entire vicinity of Kaimu. King Kaimu, following suit, entered its own berserk mode and began to relentlessly assault Hyakuzor. The Steel God fell and was slowly being torn apart. Left unchecked, King Kaimu was going to force Hyakuzor to explode and take everyone in the area with it.

Realizing that they had collectively lost this small "war" as it was, Jameson pulled his final trump card and caused a forceful teleportation of all Hyakujians in the area back to an abandoned warehouse within Hyakuji. During the confusion River City Ransom, now united and freed from the President's black collars vanished into the night. As the students of Hyakuji began to lick their wounds Jameson was fully prepared to accept blame for what had happened to protect his friends.

In the aftermath of their failed counter-attack things only became worse. True to what had been expected, Kaimu's President once again spun events against Hyakuji High School. For a second time, she threatened Principal Hitagawa with blackmail intended to use edited footage shot of the night of the counter-prank which made it seem like Hyakuji launched all out direct war on its rival school; instead of what was intended to be a harmless prank.

Apart from the ramifications this could have for Hyakuji itself and its image, Principal Hitagawa knew that legal action could be filed against the students involved. Putting priority on protecting her students at all cost, Ayumi once again caved to Kaimus StuCo President's machinations and paid the money as requested.

However, their troubles did not end there. With the knowledge of King Kaimu's existence it was clear they would inevitably have to deal with it once more. This meant Hyakuzor required a full repair from virtually being a scrap heap. Not only this, but funding would be required to try and develop some form of counter-measure to properly defeat it. These two things were absolutely vital if they intended to overcome Kaimu's Student Council President. And thus, with these projects approved, Hyakuji High School hit its lowest point yet...

FUNDING SLIPPED TO ZERO AND THEY FELL INTO DEBT JUST TO KEEP THE CAMPUS OPEN AND OPERATING!

As a consequence, it seemed one grave thing happened after another. Several teachers were let go due to an inability to continue paying them. Clubs and extra curricular activities became canceled. Hiro Tsukasa received an extra-large pay dock. The library no longer stayed open into the late AM hours to allow those particular studious students to burn the midnight oil or the less than diligent cram last minute. Lunch time meals began to be scaled back in their variety. Flyers began to circulate among the dorms with ways each student could cut down on the amount of power they used and thus lessen the cost to run the campus.

The semester's end draws ominously close and Hyakuji High School is farther from its goal than ever before. Not only this, the threat of Kaimu and its Student Council President looms in the background as well. A problem that cannot simply be punched away! How can the students of Hyakuji turn this around? In the depths of their despair a glimmer of hope began to appear. Students organized all kinds of events to raise money. Jameson turned in the treasure the students had uncovered earlier in the semester to be used by the school as well.

Meanwhile, several students banded together when they received a mysterious invitation to a gambling tournament hosted by the Teiai Financial Group. Traveling to one of the nearby bigger cities, they boarded the Ship of Hope Espoir and found themselves plunged into a dangerous series of games. The prize was an innumerable amount of yen, but the price for failure was great. A large debt towards the Teiai Group and those that performed the worst or unable to pay the debt were supposedly taken away to underground work camps to slave away years paying off the loan.

Despite several veteran gamblers cheating to advance, the small group of Hyakuji's managed to win thanks to the sheer uncanny luck of Erin Sansai. Emerging victorious from the main event, Battle Blackjack, the students won the 1st place prize money; which they planned to donate to the school as well. However, this did not come without some price. The shady owner of the Teiai Group's interest has been sparked by the young boy's impossible luck and made plans to keep an eye on Erin and his comrades.

With this surge of funding, Principal Hitagawa saw the chance Hyakuji High School needed. Much like Erin and Co. had gambled for victory, it was now time for them to do so as well. She proceeded to contact Rin Kimeko, Kaimu's Student Council President, and issued a challenge. The two schools would compete in a Sports Festival. If Hyakuji won then all the stolen money would be return and the blackmail preventing those that usually back the school would end. If Kaimu won, they would receive the remaining funding Hyakuji High School had and the entire school would close deferring its students to attend Kaimu. Furthermore, each student could only compete in a single event.

Seeing this as her final chance wrap things up with Hyakuji in a triumphant manner, Rin agreed and the stage was set. Though she would regrettably have to field her team without the members of River City Ransom after their disappearance a plan was made to use her own unrevealed psychic powers to cheat and aid the Kaimu students in competition. As the festival began Kaimu took an early lead thanks to Rin's secret cheating. However, to avoid suspicion she acted only to balance the scales to that primarily the score between teams after each event was very close.

Finally, it all came down the last event: the Marathon. It was a race from the track out into the school, beyond into the city and finally to the edge of the woods and then back to the starting line. Kaimu held an early lead primarily thanks to Rin's cheating, but due to smart planning on Hyakuji's part in who they fielded in events they managed to field the super speed powered Jonny in the middle of the pack. Using his amazing ability he was able to entirely close the huge lead Kaimu had taken and put Hyakuji far ahead.

However, Rin began to employ her trademark style of cheating once more helping the subsequent runners close the gap until it was down to the final runners: the StuCo President herself and Hyakuji's own Seth Ryouga. Rin was able to quickly catch up and take the lead, but Seth found himself not far behind. As the two approached the finish line, in a fit of sheer determination, Seth took up a burst of speed and managed to dramatically cross the finish line just seconds before Kaimu's Student Council President claiming victory for Hyakuji High School.

Unable to accept the unraveling of her plan, Rin ordered Kaimu's Execution Squad to attack the students and destroy them. Along with this mysteriously harsh request she summoned a repaired King Kaimu and boarded it with the intent to entirely destroy the city. A mostly repaired Hyakuzor was launched once more to try and fend off King Kaimu and it was joined by Hyakaiser piloted by the Principal herself and Supernatural Studies teacher Hiro Tsukasa.

Despite being 2 vs. 1, King Kaimu still held the upper hand as Rin activated a new system she had designed which let her integrate her powerful psychic abilities with the machine itself. Using this new power she quickly began to make short work of Hyakuzor and Hyakaiser.

Meanwhile, on the ground the students of Hyakuji found the battle against Kaimu's Execution Squad far easier. While the students of Kaimu had believed in Rin's words they were quickly realizing much of this school pride had been a lie merely to manipulate them into following her orders. Several high ranking Execution Squad students, too noble to condone outright murder, gave up the battle sparking many more Kaimu students to stop as well.

With only King Kaimu remaining as a threat, Principal Hitagawa called in her final ace card. A brand new super robot which she had been working on dubbed Shin Hyakuzor; a fully upgraded new machine improving on most ideas from Hyakuzor. While it lacked the driver that let Hyakuzor sometimes exceed its own limits it was overall more powerful. However, Shin Hyakuzor refused to activate and gloating of her superior intelligence Rin began to assault the defenseless machine.

However, this was where the tables turned. Amid all the chaos River City Ransom made their triumphant return setting up their equipment on the Festival stage as Kaz made a spell circle on the floor. Tatsuya revealed that all members of RCR had formally enrolled at Hyakuji High School and that this was their first act as Hyakuji students. The group began to play a new song sang by the fully healed Aya and the spell circle turned the emotions of the band itself into raw energy which jump started Shin Hyakuzor into activation.

Spurred on by the power of music, Shin Hyakuzor joined its fellow super robots in a final 3 vs. 1 battle against King Kaimu. Together the three started to gain and upper hand and driven by the climax of River City Ransom's song the three defenders of Hyakuji executed a combined special attack known as the Final Dynamic Special. This elaborate display of power managed to critically damage King Kaimu's power core defeating the machine.

As its power core began to tear apart and swing dangerously close to self-destructing the three pilots of Hyakuzor pleaded with Rin to eject from King Kaimu. Despite everything that happened, they couldn't accept death for their foe and in some ways hoped she could be reformed like River City Ransom. However, in a direct affront to their kindness and fully devolving into her own maddening genius Rin forcefully stayed within King Kaimu allowing herself to perish with her monstrous creation rather than live on in defeat.

It was a sad conclusion, but both the school of Hyakuji and the city itself had been saved. With Tatsuya and Co. leading the charge the bad blood between both schools was slowly mended on the coming Summer Break and though Kaimu and Hyakuji's friendly rivalry in sports and other areas would remain the danger had ended. The school was properly funded once more and wouldn't have to close.

Despite all odds and a foe that could not be fought in the conventional Hyakuji High-way, the students had banded together and saved the school's future. For the time being, everyone got to enjoy a calm and peaceful Summer Break.

 Shin Season 04: Future7 Saga

As the students and citizens of Hyakuji enjoyed a peaceful summer there was trouble brewing. However, not in the Hyakuji of present day but its future. In the far future many new emerging technologies had appeared. The first was the ability to replace the human body with a fully machine one and also the creation of human-like androids whose resemblance to regular humans was almost identical. While this revolutionized the world for some time things quickly took a drastic turn.

These "Machine people" banded together forming a new world order known as the Machine Empire citing their more perfected and calculating minds as understanding the best possible way the world should be led. Led by an enigmatic figure known as the Machine King the Empire began an all out war to control the entire Earth. They launched this campaign by nuking the key source of the most powerful potential resistance: Hyakuji. The area around Hyakuji was bombed so fiercely that it became a ruined wasteland filled with lawlessness that scant survivors and those migrating into the area dubbed The Black Spot.

As if to further insult the name of Hyakuji, the Machine Empire constructed a floating citadel above the Black Spot dubbed Neo-Arcadia which not only housed their capital city, but also their competent military dubbed Pantheon. Their influence quickly spread and much of the world fell under their control as they pushed for either subservience or for humans to adopt machine bodies and more formally join them in embracing the future. Throughout the world pockets of resistance remained by those refusing such tyrannical rule and many of Hyakuji's former students held rank in such groups.

Meanwhile, Kusanagi Kiryu, a mysterious sorcerer who once held rank in some of the more shady organizations in Hyakuji had joined the Machine Empire and was given the rank of Inspector tasked with tracking down Hyakuji-related people and bringing them in so they could be persuaded to join or killed. It seemed that despite its fear of humans with mysterious powers, the Empire was more than fine with employing them outright to combat others like them. Though who could say what contingency plans they put in place in case of a betrayal.

Armed with full command of Pantheon when he saw fit for an operation, Inspector Kiryu managed to track down one of Hyakuji's most powerful teachers Hiro Tsukasa and apprehended him. Brought before the Machine King himself, Hiro was injected with nanomachines that disconnected him from his supernatural magic and would kill the man were they ever removed. Made a normal human, Hiro was left for dead within the Black Spot as Inspector Kiryu turned his attention to other matters for the Empire.

As several years passed and the war of resistance slowly began losing ground much had changed. The Machine Empire, despite wanting to preserve the Earth had destroyed much of it with their all out attacks and utilization of nuclear weapons. In their studies, the Empire's scientists had discovered a mysterious force known as the Time Stones. These seven artifacts emerged throughout various eras at places where time travel had distorted the natural events of history. Slowly, they exuded amazing power to shift things back into line. However, a legend told that if all seven were to be gathered then the owner of the Time Stones would gain full control of all history and be able to re-write it completely to their desire.

A project was begun to send Machine Empire technology and soldiers to key points in history so they might force out and collect the Time Stones. With these in his control, the Machine King could rewrite history so that they take things over without any resistance or consequence achieving their original primary goal easily and ensuring no future resistance. The seven strongest warriors within the entire Machine Empire and all those who had joined it were selected as a group dubbed The Future7. They were tasked with overseeing the collection of the Time Stones.

However, members of the resistance uncovered this plan and deep beneath the ruins of Frostfire Tower in Hyakuji a group of scientists began to construct their own time machine in hopes of finding a way to stop the Machine Empire. Hearing of this a much changed Hiro Tsukasa, armed with a Rider System known as Decade which was seemingly Principal Hitagawa's final creation, began to journey towards the small village that had been constructed around Frostfire Tower.

However, catching wind of what was going on the Machine Empire set about events to stop the resistance. Scientist after Scientist was assassinated until only a single one named Gear remained. Meanwhile, a bounty hunter name Vile was hired to hunt down and kill the surprisingly resilient Hiro Tsukasa before he made contact with them. Vile and Hiro, as Kamen Rider Decade, duked it out in the small village but ultimately Hiro managed to win enough time to escape within Frostfire Tower. Unable to accept defeat, Vile followed him within.

Meanwhile, one of the Empire's battleships had been dispatched to destroy Frostfire Tower and the surrounding area in its entirety. Having linked up with Gear, Hiro discovered the time machine was almost ready to be used and the duo mutually agreed on what to do. They would go back to Hyakuji High School in the past and with any luck convince the school in its prime to work with them to track down the Time Stones ahead of the Empire and use them to ensure a better future for the world.

However, as the battleship approached there was a need to buy time. Exploring in the ruins of the Tower's museum Hiro discovered a fully functional Getter Robo-1 and used it to go out and face the mecha of the Machine Empire. Aboard the battleship, Inspector Kiryu watched on with glee. Saving the village proved futile against the numbers Getter-1, a relic itself, had to face. Finally, as the time machine was ready Hiro crashed Getter-1 into the tower scooping up both Gear and the machine itself warping all of them back in time. Though two men had escaped the Machine Empire's grasp it seemed of little consequence. The Future7 were already mobilized and they would receive the fruit of their effort long before any major resistance could be mobilized in the past.

Meanwhile, in present day Hyakuji, the students were gearing up for their first day back in class as the Summer Break came to an end. However, the morning walk to home room was interrupted as a temporal anomaly tore through the sky and dumped Getter-1 onto the front yard of the school. Masking his identity from the students gathered around, Future Hiro demanded to speak with the Principal. While the students and faculty hesitated and debated on what to do they were eventually interrupted by Principal Hitagawa herself; offering to hear the troubled man out.

However, this was cut short as Vile, who had hitched a ride on Getter-1 to follow his quarry, emerged and used odd capsules to summon Pantheon grunts intending to finish what he started. As Future Hiro transformed into Decade he was joined by the students who collectively overran Vile, cut off from his support weapons such as his Ride Armor which remained in the Future, and his minions and easily defeated them causing the bounty hunter to seemingly explode upon defeat.

As things died down and class began, Future Hiro and Gear met with the Ayumi and the other faculty members. There they related the tale of what was going on in the future and explained the situation of the Time Stones. It became clear that even using knowledge of the future to change things in the present time would not be enough to end the threat posed. Even if choices were made that prevented the Machine Empire such a result could take years to orchestrate and once all seven Time Stones were gathered it was game over.

Teacher after teacher tested and found their words to be true so the Principal agreed to work with Gear to develop a better means of time travel along with a method to track appearances of the Time Stones and send small squads of students, led by a teacher, to try and retrieve them ahead of the Machine Empire. The teachers, in class relayed this message and offered willing students to voice their intent to help by signing up for these time travel adventures noting that though the school was committed to help in this matter that no student would be forced against their will to undertake such a dangerous task.

The stage was now set and though mostly unknown a new enemy had emerged. The race against the Machine Empire for the Time Stones had begun!

Time Stone #01: The Golden Age of Pirates

The first era where a Time Stone was detected happened to be the Golden Age of Pirates. Ever eager for adventure, Hiro Tsukasa volunteered to lead the first group and students Kotoka Youma, Meglumar Odai, Erin Sansai, Valentine Enigmata Necroelle Malevelencia and Kanji Maeda were selected to accompany him. Gathered in the Neo-Photon Lab Principal Hitagawa, Gear and their Mysterious Ally revealed the device which tracked Time Stones by Era, the new time travel portal and finally a device that would give them a one way return.

Though a worried fact it was clear that this was currently the best that could be mustered on such a short notice. Hiro stored the return device in a pocket dimension of his own design for safe keeping while Gear noted that perhaps after obtaining a Time Stone and studying it the Lab might be able to upgrade this gear for future expeditions. Wary about the sitaution, Hiro and the students headed through the portal and into the past.

Emerging in a small alleyway within some seaside town the group immediately ran into trouble. It seemed the time travel device's system for giving appropriate period specific clothing had placed everyone into swimsuits. However, the students had little time to bemoan their unfortunate situation as it seemed the city they were in, called Tin Town, was under siege by a band of pirates. These pirates were known as the Buggy Pirates and led by a large nosed Captain known as Buggy the Pirate. It seemed they were raiding the city planning to steal anything not nailed down.

As they began to terrorize the city the students of Hyakuji refused to stand by and watch such injustice go on. While Hiro engaged the vast number of grunts serving the pirate crew alone the rest of the students paired off against the more important officers with Meglumar dueling Cabaji (the Acrobat), Erin and Kanji facing Momiji the Beast Tamer and his giant lion Richie, Valentine facing the gorgeous Alvida and Youma squaring off with Buggy himself.

As the students of Hyakuji began to gain an upperhand and Hiro finished dispatching the weaker pirates, the tables were turned. Jumped by an unknown assailant Hiro was rendered unconscious. This mystery man was revealed to be Captain Smoker; apparently a revered pirate hunter in the Marines. With his subordinate swordswoman Taishigi blocking the exit, Smoker intended to arrest everyone present. Realizing announcements were everywhere and he had poorly planned the attack Buggy staged a retreat and his crew fled in the confusion.

Claiming Hiro was a person nicknamed "The Black Mage of the Seven Seas" and citing the students as his obvious crewmates Smoker threatened to kill their "Captain" there on the spot unless they gave up and let themselves be arrested. Though Valentine attempted to make a break for it, Taishigi was able to stop Smoker's oath and render the girl unconscious before anyone had to be severely injured or killed.

Those from Hyakuji were arrested and bound in odd silver shackles that seemed to carry with them a funny feeling. As the students were placed in a cell in the local jail, Hiro was taken somewhere else by Captain Smoker. As night fell on the city the students of Hyakuji found themselves in dire straits.

Where had their teacher been taken and more importantly what of the Time Stone?
