Previously…

Yakumo arrived at the café, through the back door. She returned to her old office, as she said, "Sorry I'm late, madam. But I had to tend to my sister."

The woman said, as she was sitting in Yakumo's old chair, "That's fine, Miss Tsukamoto… or should I call you Model #Y-160?"

"Just Yakumo is fine. I always hated my codec nickname… Yamo…"

"No need to worry, Yakumo." The woman said, as she turned her chair to her, "After all, we are all robots, aren't we?"

She was a tall woman with long blue hair, done in a ponytail, and in a black business suit and a pink shirt. She smiled, as her blue eyes were shone, "Now then, Yakumo… Let's discuss business. Shall we?"

Yakumo nodded, "Affirmative. About the robots I am giving you…"

The woman said, "Well, I figured a complete memory wipe to many… and that I learned that Mikoto Prime, as you called her, is not for sale?"

Yakumo stated, "She's currently playing as Mikoto Suo, who the original portrayed. However, because of the Miko Foxes being reworked, we are setting up her departure from Yagami High, and make it a transfer to another school."

The girl said, "Ah, I see. And no one else knows. Fine, then. We shall see if we can keep Suo. For now, begin it."

"Yes, ma'am."

"Oh! Any way you can send me those Yakumo Cats? I figured we can remodel them as different cats; and, serious note, lose the sex appeal."

"Understood. I knew dressing them in fishnets was a bad idea… a bit dirty, but it shows."

The girl barked, "NO! That's not the reason why I bought you café! You need a home for the robots, and you're overworked. Plus, kids wouldn't dare play with these androids. So, I'm going to have them safeguarded… No need to worry. I'm sure we can fix this."

"Thank you… Hikari."

Hikari smiled, "Please. It's Miss Berlitz to you. But hey, call me Dawn."

Yakumo nodded, as she beeped, "Dawn. I shall do as you say, as we construct business."

Hikari smiled, "Good. Being we are both robots, and all, I would like to undergo a few… changes."

It happened, moments after Yakumo closed down the Bunny Café. Hikari, a robot that represents WPCA, and is a grant member of her own robotics line, Platinum Prettiness, bought the old café, only for the spare robots and the building, since Yakumo wanted to close down and sell her entire dream, despite the fact that she's an android, too.

Yakumo asked, "One question. Before our deal is made, what sort of line of work do you perform?"

"I'm a Nurse Joy-Bot." Hikari smiled.

Tenma Bunny V:
The New Beginning

Yakumo said, "Ah. I see. And you represent the World Pokémon/Civilian Association."

"Affirmative." Hikari said, "But now, I wanted to move on to better functions. And founding Platinum Prettiness is a new fresh start."

"Do what does this Platinum Prettiness do, exactly?"

"We're more of a family endeavor. We take our robot girls, doll them up nicely, without any flaw in their cosmetic features, and we send them away to perform normal human functions. We're family-friendly, and malfunction-free."

"This seems new to me."

"Well, following our Alola Region line of Jenny-Trons and Joy-Bots, we wanted to expand to fresher horizons. But we needed a cosigned partner to assist our needs. And that's when we come to you, Yakumo Tsukamoto."

"I see. And you offer to own most of all my Tenmas, Mikotos, Eris, and MEs, all for your product?"

"Yes. However, I wanted to learn more about you, being you're a robot and all, like me."

"Affirmative. Suppose you may examine me, just to learn about my functions?"

"Correct. No need to worry. I am not like all those evil corrupt millionaires. I don't do it for the money. I wish to bring smiles upon their faces… to all humans, everywhere."

Yakumo bowed and smiled, "Very well. But not tonight. My sister is worried about me, and I had her handle herself, while we talk."

Hikari pouted, "Aw, that is so sad. I am sad."

"Huh? You're upset by it?" Yakumo was concerned.

Hikari beeped, "Sad, yes. But can't we do it, tonight?"

Yakumo said, "I will have to call Tenma, in order to continue."

"Excellent. I shall wait."

Yakumo went to the phone and called Tenma. She was on the receiver, as Tenma was still in the house.

Meanwhile, at Tenma's house, Tenma beeped, as she was moaning on the table, with her face emotionless and her eyes half-closed and dimming. She was weakening, after she ordered out, and before it could arrive.

"Honey… Honey… Battery low… Recharge me… Yakumo… Anything you say, I will listen… Yakumo… Yakumo… Honey… Yakumo…"

She kept beeping, until she died down.

"Honey… Yakumo… Anything you saaaaaaaaaaay… I… Batterrrrrrrrr… rrrrrrrrrrrr…"

Her eyes went black, and her body was motionless, lying on the table. The phone rang, as it was silent. No one bothered to answer, as Tenma was lying on the table, with no power in her.

Back at the office, Yakumo put the phone receiver down and said, "Hmm. Tenma must be sleeping. I suppose she understands that I will be late."

Hikari smiled, "Goody. Shall we test you?"

Yakumo nodded, as she gave in, "Fair enough. I do suppose that one little test will do. After all, Platinum Prettiness is a family-friendly service. Just don't become perverted, like some sex robot service."

Hikari smirked, as she giggled, "Oh, no need to worry. I am not programmed for… that sort of thing."

Yakumo smiled and bowed, "Thank you."

She went to the phone and said, "All staff, I am going to be busy with Miss Hikari. Do not disturb me, until I am finished."

She signed off, and locked the door. Hikari bowed and said, "Thank you very much. I wish to be discreet, but I chose to be private, being we're women and all… or rather female robots."

Yakumo bowed and said, "Acknowledged, Miss Dawn. Now, how shall we begin?"

Hikari held up a remote and said, "This."

BEEP! Whirrrr…
Hikari pressed the button, as Yakumo stood in place. Her motors whirred down, with her arms limp and her legs still standing straight. Her eyes went black, and her mouth was emotionless. Hikari smiled and said, "Good-good. You are good enough for a model. I mean, there's more to know about you, my dear. After all, I come in peace, and we are lucrative business bots."

She continued, as she removed Yakumo's blazer, "I am happy that you chose to save your business… despite that we are inept in the mechanized world. I'd love to see a pure beauty. You were perfect. Perhaps too perfect. No wonder you were second best to Tenma Prime. You are so beautiful, in which I want to know what makes you too perfect… to begin with. Platinum Prettiness sentences you to death… by reprogramming. But that's just plain mean. I can, at least, use you for your sister. I can reopen the café, under new management, and maybe have a place for you."

Yakumo was only in her pink bra, pink panties, and leggings, as Hikari folded her business suit neatly. She then examined her body and said, "Ah… Hourglass body… Perfect. Lemme measure you…"

She used a long tape measurer and used it to measure Yakumo's stiff body. Hikari nodded and beeped, "Measurements recorded… C-Cup… Measurements: classified… 5'3"; skin: fair; hair: black, neck-length; Model Y-160… Status: working condition…"

Hikari giggled, as she said, "And they said you were not the perfect robot. You sister, on the other hand, I'd like to meet with her. I'd like to meet with her. Meet her. Meet her."

BZZZZ!
Hikari buzzed and beeped, as she was spazzing, "Error… I am Hikari… Welcome to the Pokémon Center… We hope to see you agagagagagagagagagagaga-."

She sparked from her body, and then bent her body halfway down, with her arms flailing, her eyes clicked closed, and her mouth wide open in a smile. She was smoking from her body, shutting off her circuits. The office was quiet, as Yakumo started to reboot. She woke up and asked, "So, Dawn? Dawn?"

She looked at herself, and then blushed heavily. She covered herself, as she was embarrassed. She whispered, "I wonder what she was doing… Dawn… Dawn?"

She looked at her motionless body, as Yakumo beeped, "She overheated. I wonder why. Well, I'll contact her techie, so she can be fixed up. And we'll pick it up again, tomorrow afternoon… We are set to meet for tea, after all."

She looked at her folded clothes, and then giggled, "On the plus side, she's neat, when it comes to stripping robots of their clothes."

She took her clothes and went to a changing room, to put her clothes on.

Minutes later, after the café closed, Hikari was being rolled away by one of the technicians from the WPCA. He said that Hikari suddenly overheated, but saved everything she needed for the partnership of Platinum Prettiness, her side-company. But what does her company do, exactly?

That night, Yakumo came home, as she called, "Tenma?"

She noticed that the lights were still on, as Tenma was still lying on the table, with the TV on. It was on bars and tones, as Yakumo ran to her. She cried, "TENMA! NO! Oh, NO! NO! NO!"

She lifted her up and hugged her frozen body. She said in a sad voice, "I called you, but you didn't answer… No wonder you were unavailable… I was so… Oh, darn you! Why didn't you recharge yourself-? Wait… It was your bedtime, right?"

Yakumo was saddened, as she sobbed, "It's okay. You had a long night… I love you. Sis."

She kissed her on the lips and said, "Goodnight, my darling sister."

She carried Tenma to her bedroom and laid her on her bed. She placed the covers over her and plugged her in. Yakumo nodded, "Done. You know, Hikari, a girl who owns the Bunny Café, she told me that she wants to meet you, personally. I hope you like Dawn."

She left Tenma's bedroom, as she turned out the light.

The next day, at the café, Hikari examined the line of robots, dressed in different attires. All the Tenmas have their bunny outfits, the Mikotos are all in their fox outfits, the Eris in their chicken outfits, and the Yakumos in their cat outfits. Hikari walked down the line, viewing each robot, standing straight, turned off, each with their eyes open and with a smile. Hikari said to two of her WPCA employees, dressed in red and white, "These girls are all very well perfect. But the Mikoto Fox in orange… have her hair dyed green, to blend with her outfit."

The first employee asked, holding a clipboard, "For Halloween, ma'am?"

Hikari replied, "No, because with her boobs, and her orange one-piece, she'll be like an orange. Oh, for the Eri Chicks in blue, all of them who wear the blue outfits, have their beaks from a chicken to a penguin, and make their hairstyles a ponytail with blue ribbon. I like a Piplup look. And the Eri Chicks in red, remove their blond hair, and make it blonde with red highlights. They'll be just like Fire-type Pokémon."

She examined the Yakumo Cat, the one in white and purple, "Okay… As for the Yakumo Cats, I believe we need to update their kitty style. Have their ears and tails replaced with the following Pokémon cats: Skitty, Persian, Delcatty, Purrloin, Glameow, Meowstic, Espurr, Liepard…"

The employees said, "Yes, ma'am."

Hikari added, "And also, play back their introduction speech."

A Yakumo Cat was activated, as she spoke, "Hello, Honey. I am Yakumo. Welcome to our café. Anything you say, I will listen."

Hikari barked, "What kind of nonsense is that?"

Yakumo Cat replied, "I do not know. It is how I am programmed to say."

Hikari said, "Deactivate her. NOW!"

The Yakumo Cat powered down, as Hikari stated, "I want the Yakumo Cats to be given a cat-like accent. I want them to be a purrfect addition to their meows (muse). And also, make their breasts an extra centimeter bigger, and their butts a centimeter smaller. They want to be symmetrical, in the hip and chest area."

She ordered, "Platinum Prettiness will not have to be plain. We are a Pokémon/Civilian service."

The employees bowed, as one of Yakumo's technicians called in, "Miss Hikari, you are wanted in the laboratory."

Hikari smiled, "Ah. I do believe we have a guest."

Hikari left to the lab, as the employees continued to examine each robot.

XXXXX

At the lab, Hikari was visited by a girl with blue hair and big breasts, dressed in a blue tanktop and denim shorts. She was sitting in her chair, as Hikari said, "Ah. So, you are the famed Mikoto Prime, correct."

Mikoto spoke in a robot voice, "Affirmative, Master Hikari. I am Mikoto. Suo. Suo. I am a Mikoto Suo. For I obey. I am Mikoto."

She was in default mode, as her personality was blocked off, thanks to a request that Mikoto Suo, Mikoto Prime's alias, was transferring out of Yagami High. Hikari sat down, as she stated, "Miss Suo. For the record, you can call me Dawn. I have no intentions on being called "master". And moreover, I do have a proposition for you, Mikoto Prime."

Mikoto beeped, as she said, with her face emotionless, "Yes, ma'am."

Hikari blushed, as she turned away, "So big… So jealous…"

Mikoto asked, "Is something wrong, Master Dawn?"

Hikari yelled, "Nothing is wrong! That's what's wrong! And STOP calling me "Master"! While my new ownership is being finalized, nothing is yet official!"

She continued, "In any case, I'd like to offer you a job in our main company, WPCA."

Mikoto beeped, "Requesting offer. State your offer to Mikoto Prime. Affirmative. Anything you say, I will listen."

Hikari smirked, as she thought, "Obedient to the very end. Good work, Yakumo."

She explained, "As you know, I am looking to create brand-new models for my Jenny-Trons and Joy-Bots. Being I am a Joy-Bot, myself, I was wondering if I can tweak into your programming, and make you one of us. Of course, we'll have to keep your personality software and functions, but being you're Mikoto Suo, in Yagami City, we're going to have to refurbish and recycle you as a newer model."

She showed her a Nurse Joy-Bot on a schematic, as she continued, "I call her MONA – Mechanized Obedient Nurse Android, a proud new product in the WPCA, which is ten times as powerful as a regular Nurse Joy Robot. Your measurements are perfect to become one of our MONA Prototypes. Or…"

She showed a schematic of an Officer Jenny-Tron, and added, "You can be our newest Law Enforcing Android Humanoid, or our LEAH. The names need work, but the project is going superb. We only need a test subject to learn about their movements, and I think you would be perfect."

Mikoto beeped, "Negative. I am not Mona. I am not Leah. I am Mikoto. I will not obey. I am Mikoto Suo. Suo. Suo. Suo. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh… … … Error. I am Mikoto Suo."

She continued to beep, as Hikari said, "Poor girl. No need to worry, Mikoto Prime. This will only be a temporary run. Afterwards, we'll be able to revert you to normal. I mean, the transfer has already been finalized; just not for the café. And speaking of, you can no longer work at the café, once we have a grand reopening."

Mikoto was beeping, as she tilted her head to the left, "Oh? Am I terminated, Miss Dawn?"

Hikari said, "No need to worry. No need to worry. I can help you help you help. No no. No need-ee-ee-ee-ee-ee… ERROR! Speech program cur-."

She spoke, "I can help you. We wanted to fix you, as good as new. I mean, you lived your life as a human, correct, despite that you don't know who you really are?"

Mikoto beeped, "Correct. I work in the café, as a Miko Fox. By day, I am Mikoto Suo. I am a high school student. And I am programmed to obey. Anything you say, I will listen."

Hikari asked, "Do you accept?"

Mikoto beeped, "No. I do not. I am Mikoto. I am Mikoto."

She sat up and bowed, "Thank you for your time. I am happy to be Suo. Mikokokokokokokoko-. Suo-oh! Oh! Oh! oh! oh! oh! I am Miko-."

Hikari stopped her, as Mikoto's speech patterns were jumbled up. Hikari then deactivated her, as she growled, "Stupid robot. Apparently she is not in working condition. Yakumo would kill me for this, but I have no choice…"

She called to her employees, on a radio, as she beeped, "Mikoto Prime needs repairs… send an emergency repair team to rebuild her…"

She continued, as two WCPA employees carried her off, "I want her memories and functions copied into a separate file. After that, delete all data from Mikoto Prime and install the-. Uh…"

She flipped a coin and said, "Ah. Do it. I will contact you, once the decision is made."

They carried Mikoto away, as Hikari sat back down, recharging herself. She beeped, "Joy-Bot Model 7-point-7… battery low… must recharge at nearest port… Activating recharge hotspot…"

She charged herself, with her Wi-Fi module, inside her chest, as she clicked her eyes closed and bowed her head down. She remained seated, until she was fully charged.

That evening, Hikari was sitting on a crate, naked, with her long dark blue hair covering her bare chest, and her legs closed. She was in an onsen, scrubbing herself with soap. Two of her WPCA employees were outside, by the doorway to the Women's Onsen, as the first one asked, "Is it wise to reprogram Mikoto Prime?"

Hikari said, as she was lathering herself, "I am sure. Sooner or later, people will find out about Mikoto Suo, i.e. our robot fox. It's all taken care of. Yakumo understands why she must have Mikoto Prime to be trained."

The second employee asked, "But Miss, Miss Yakumo would be livid, if you make her one of our robots."

Hikari smiled, "Hey, come on, you guys. After this is settled, we can move on to the main event: Tenma Prime. I mean, what do we have to lose? I have seen the robots of Tenma, but not the main core. All she speaks of is Honey. And I plan something cute for the Tenma Bunnies. Also, I can have some of the robots' hair removed and replaced with newer colorful hairstyles. Because, let's face it, they all look the same, but we need to know which is which. Plus, I like the idea of the Tenmas to have different hair colors, since they were made to avoid confusion."

The first employee said, "Not to mention skin color. Miss Yakumo knows diversity, when she sees it."

Hikari stated, "True. But diversity is such a strong word. If you are created to act human, or as a product, and you are black, white, tan, or Asian skin-colored, you're still a robot."

She continued to lather, as she was covered in suds, entirely, "We can leave the Tenmas, as it is. The Mikos, Eris, and Yakumos, we can do a little remodeling on them, as long as they go by my book. But it's almost time. The café will reopen, as soon as we have everything in control. As WPCA and Platinum Prettiness, we must become productive and focused, as long as we do not ruin business, despite a few glitches, errors, miscues, and open tasks. Any questions, gentlemen?"

Suds started to seep by the doorway, as the employee asked, "Yes. Are you aware that you are waterproof and soapproof?"

Hikari asked, "Why do you ask? I am waterproof and can withstand the finest bath soap in the world."

The employee stated, "Well, your private bath is covered in bubbles."

The entire onsen is full of soap, as Hikari blushed, "Oops. Remind me to repair my sensors, for bath time, when I have free time."

She stood up, covered in suds, as she said, "Now. Please wait 15 minutes, while I clean myself off. Afterwards, you may dress me in my yutaka."

The men answered, "Yes, ma'am."

She went in the bathwater, as she relaxed. She said, as she was relaxing, "Cooling down… Systems offline… Relaxation mode commencing…"

Hikari opened her eyes and said, "It does feel warm. I am glad I am a Nurse Joy-Bot. Pokémon Water… I don't like to be doused in. Now, this is the-, is the-, is the-, is the-, is the-, BEEP! This is the life."

She relaxed, as she was cleaning herself up.

Minutes later, Hikari was in her office, in her business suit and pants, as she was looking out the window. She beeped, as she looked at the blue sky, "Temperature: 67 degrees… Today's weather: sunny… 25% chance of rain…"

Hikari sighed, as she was worried, "I know it's a burden, but the Bunny Café will be ready soon… and I-. Error… I just realized. I have no announced release date. Good. Good-good. I can get everything ready, before we open to the public."

She sat back down, as she was relaxing. She said, as she was calm, "Pokémon and Bunny Robots are simple to take care of. When my new robots are made, I can have fun… and when I meet with Tenma Prime, only then, I can reopen. Who knows? She's such a sweet girl, on the outside. But what of her sister?"

Yakumo arrived, as she was a little worried. She asked why Mikoto is being taken apart. Hikari replied that it was a suggestion for her to become one of her Jenny-Trons or Joy-Bots. She did save her data, in a separate form, just in case.

"I understand. Mikoto Prime is not suitable for the café, after we fear that the scandal may happen, for a beautiful girl, as a robot." Yakumo said.

Hikari huffed, "Speak for yourself!"

Yakumo blushed, "Yes, Miss Dawn."

She stated, "While Mikoto is being dismantled, may I ask? Why?"

Hikari smiled, as she tilted her head to the right, "Why, you ask? I'm aware of scandal, and that never happened… minus the occasional glitches and malfunctions, after a couple accidents. I believe that starting again would be perfect, and to think different. Mikoto Prime is under wear and tear, since she was a catalyst from the original Mikoto Prime, who was destroyed."

Yakumo explained, "That's because she was too human, and she was glitching so much that she lost control of her identity. You would have seen her. She just stood by a railing, and started to scream out that she's a lie. She believes that she's a human, but does not know that she's a machine… until now. Mikoto Prime Mark II was obedient, and with the newest updates, she can understand herself that she is a robot, acting as a human. She even passed with flying colors in our testing facility. However, as we are now closing down, Mikoto Prime felt sad… But thanks to you, we can reshape her."

Hikari giggled, "That's sweet. Plus, I never knew that robots can act human, but freak out, knowing that they can be too human."

Yakumo nodded. Hikari said, "No need to worry. Mikoto Prime will still have a home in the café. But… If she dies, or we cannot reload her CPU, we can make Mikoto Prime Mark III."

She then asked, "By the way, when will I meet with Tenma, your sister? I had a good look at one of the Tenma Bunnies, and she's so adorable. I believe Tenma Prime is even more endearing."

Yakumo beeped, "Affirmative. However, Tenma cannot be available. I am watching over her, as she was drained of her batteries, after our first meeting. It was foolish of me to leave her home alone. But now, I am well-aware of her safety."

She looked to her and requested, "Hikari, promise me you will not damage her, or make her one of your slaves."

Hikari argued, "We talked about this before! I would never do such a thing! WPCA is for family-friendly fun, peace for the people in the world, and to live in harmony. NOT for perverted sex jokes and endless rape!"

Yakumo gasped, "Hikari! Watch your language!"

Hikari apologized, and then beeped, "My apologies. I am sorry. Whenever I think about this kind of-, sort of-, kind of dirty moment, it just slips my tongue… almost like that poffin, covered in strawberry-plum icing."

Yakumo stated, "It's okay. You're an adult, albeit a robot, yet you care for other people, and not for the sexual charm in the café."

Hikari explained, "Exactly. Besides, sexual charm is not mostly into me, since it's usually maid uniforms, cheerleader outfits, facepaint and bodysuits, and ribbons. Plus, I am modeled after a young girl, and modified to be a Nurse Joy Robot. I am still me, except I am adult-like and ladylike."

Yakumo replied, "Yet you are only of the body of a Nurse Joy, and the head of a mature girl. And unlike my Tenma Bunnies, you are in proper working condition."

Hikari smiled, "Yep. Aside from the usual errors and low battery alerts, I am still fully operational."

She stood up and said, "So. When do I meet Tenma Prime? Tomorrow? Next week?"

Yakumo turned away and said nothing. She walked off, returning to the lab. Hikari looked on, as she was worried, "I'm not into that… I know you're her sister and al-."

She paused, as she had a thought, comparing a Tenma Bunny to Yakumo. She then had an idea. She let out an evil smirk and said, "Pretty… So pretty… Maybe I have a use for her, after all, since she's leaving me in charge."

She also had a worried thought, thinking since if Mikoto was going to be exposed, sooner or later, what about Yakumo? It would seem that Hikari had no choice. She knew what to do, but she wouldn't like it. She'd have to dismantle Yakumo.

XXXXX

That night, at home, Yakumo approached Tenma, who was in her white shirt and skirt. Yakumo whispered, "Tenma…"

Tenma stood in place, as she asked, in her normal voice, "Yakumo? You okay? Why are you sad?"

Yakumo thought, as she was nervous, "I'm sorry… But I don't know… Something about her I do not like… Hikari. It's like… Platinum Prettiness… Could it be a ploy? I don't know what, but Tenma Prime cannot be at that café. We did erase her programming of that café, after we closed, and it's almost like-."

"You lost in thought, Sis?" Tenma asked, as she smiled.

Yakumo hugged her and whimpered, "Forgive me."

Tenma shared a hug with her, as she closed her eyes, feeling blissful. Yakumo, however, was just worried.

BEEP! Whrrrrr…
She deactivated Tenma, as she sobbed, "I am so sorry… But I cannot trust Hikari, at all… Suffice to say, she's a different type of robot, and I think everything she says are lies… Sis, you will forgive me, but…"

She detached Tenma's head and whispered, "Goodbye."

She removed her head and placed it on the table. She then removed her clothing, and then her arms. She placed her arms down, next to her head, and then started to kneel down, crying. She stopped there, as Tenma was headless, armless, and naked. Yakumo couldn't bear the burden, since she cannot trust Hikari. She wiped her tears, and proceeded to Tenma's upper body, but stopped, as her hands were on her waist. She shivered, as she cried, "I… I can't do it! I just can't! I want to dismantle her, but… But I can't lose Tenma! Not at all!"

She stopped, as she put her clothes back on. She didn't bother reattaching her arms and head, as she said, "Tenma, you will forgive me. But until I can think of it, otherwise, you cannot function, anymore. Goodbye, Tenma."

She went to her room, leaving Tenma, with her body headless and armless. Tenma's head and arms were still on the table, as her eyes were closed, and her face emotionless.

XXXXX

Meanwhile, Hikari finished up a sign for the café, which says "Platinum Prettiness Café – Served with a smile and cuteness". The sign showed Tenma's face on it, with a smile on her face, and winking. She then activated the sign, which had Tenma winking, every five seconds.

"Perfect. Tenma Bunnies will be ecstatic, being that it's still their café, but I kicked it up a notch. Oh, Yakumo would be please at me. I'll have a contractor put this sign up, tomorrow morning."

She sat down and powered down, recharging her batteries. Yakumo believes that Hikari may be doing something to hurt Tenma, but it turns out that Hikari was only doing this, as a business endeavor, not a personal one. Hikari smiled, as she whispered, "Of course, I've long to meet with Tenma Prime… So adorable…"

The lights went out, as she closed production for the night.

XXXXX

Later at 1am, Yakumo returned to Tenma's room, in her metallic white bra and panties, as she has an emotionless face. She responded, in a monotone, "Hello. I am Yakumo. Tenma Prime not finished disassembled… Must be taken apart…"

She was in her Default Mode, and suddenly went back to work on Tenma. She detached her hands from her arms, and placed them in a box. The arms went in the box, as well. Yakumo then slowly detached her naked upper body from her lower half, and placed it on the table, lying on her back. She then spoke, "Disassembly near complete… 55% of Tenma Prime dismantled…"

She unhooked her lower hip from her legs, and then placed it in the box. Her legs were left standing, and she disconnected her feet from her ankles, and her thighs and calves were split apart. She placed them in the box and proceeded in Tenma's upper body. She removed her breasts, showing chrome plating from inside, and then placed them in the box. Yakumo turned to Tenma's head and removed her face, showing LED lights for eyes and a speaker for a mouth. She placed the face in the box, and neatly placed all her parts in the box, including her head. After placing all the pieces of Tenma into the box, she then closed the box, and taped it shut. She then marked the box as "Defective Merchandise".

Yakumo beeped, as she was standing straight, in a monotone robot voice, "Disassembly complete. Tenma Prime is dismantled. Hello. I am Yakumo. I am perfect. I am a robot. I am perfect in every way. My function is to be perfect in every way. I am programmed to help. I am perfect. I have no sister. I have no family. I have no friends. I have no happiness. I am perfect in every way. I am Yakumo. I am perfect. I am… perfect… I am… I am… I… am… perrrrrrrrrrrrr…"

Yakumo suddenly powered down and remained standing in place. She remained turned off, as she destroyed her own sister, who is an android like her.

XXXXX

"AH!"

Yakumo woke up from her bed, as she panted. She held herself and whimpered, "Tenma… Sis… Oh, no…"

The moment she disassembled Tenma Prime was all a nightmare. Yakumo said, as she held herself, "I have to make amends… I worry over what Hikari will do… Tenma, I'm sorry… What have I done?"

She lied back down, resting her head on the pillow, and whispered, "Sleep Mode Activate…" and then fell asleep.

The next morning, Yakumo rebuild Tenma, as she said, "Sorry, Tenma… Dismantling you, like that… That was so stupid of me… Besides, I was-. Well, I was over my head. We may be together, as robot sisters, but I still love you. I don't know. Maybe it's because I'm just… paranoid. What if Hikari wants you, as her toy… or a slave… or something so perverted? I just can't find it in my heart to trust my own kind."

Tenma said nothing. She was still turned off. Yakumo smiled and finished, putting Tenma's school uniform on. She instigated that Tenma can just be herself, and not a robot. She didn't want to suffer, after everything that happened, since she opened the bunny café, and that she may lose her sister, out of a disaster.

"This nightmare… I suffered of you, because of her…" she said, "What if my dream may be true, and you really are destroyed? I can't lose you… Tenma…"

Just as she plugged her in, she got a text from Hikari. She said that she wants to come down to the office, for a favor. Yakumo agrees, as she set Tenma to Default Setting. And then, she set her to restart automatically, after being fully charged. She kissed her and said, "Be good, Tenma Prime. I have to take care of this. We'll talk about this, later."

Yakumo left to the café, as Tenma was standing in place, charging.

Outside at the café, Hikari was opening the doors to the building. Yakumo said to her, "I got your text."

She arrived at the front door, as Hikari said to her, "I have a surprise for you."

Yakumo replied, "Yes… Thank you. Also, did you… get my text?"

"I did. And, well… Are you sure about this? I mean, I'm not that mean… and I would never hurt your sister, Tenma Prime. But thanks for opening up."

They stepped inside, and Hikari shut the door.

Meanwhile, at Tenma's house, Tenma was still in place, recharging, while still standing. She beeped in beeps, slowly and quietly, still recharging her batteries. Tenma remained in place, all morning, silent and motionless.

Back at the café, Hikari showed Yakumo a Tenma Bunny uniform, which is red with violet leggings, and mauve heels. She asked, "Would you put this on for me?"

Yakumo asked, "I do apologize, but this is a regulated Tenma Bunny uniform. Only Tenmas can wear it."

Hikari said, "No need to worry. I had the measurements down, so it'll fit you. It may be a bit revealing, but I'm sure it suits you well."

Yakumo blushed, as she was worried, "I don't know."

Hikari insisted, "Look, do you want to wear it, or not? I haven't got all day!"

Yakumo said, "Oh, okay. I guess it wouldn't hurt…"

She took the uniform and said, "But if it doesn't please you, please remodify it for a Tenma Bunny."

Hikari said, "No. This is made for you. Understand, Yakumo."

Yakumo went into the changing room and got dressed. Minutes later, she stepped out and was wearing her bunny uniform: a red one-piece uniform and violet leggings. She even had a fluffy white tail in the back. Yakumo blushed, "It does fit."

She smiled and said, "Sorry if I ever doubted you. But, why do I have to wear this?"

Hikari held the remote and said, "Well, let's just say that I have a job for you, in the café."

Yakumo nodded, "Oh, yes. I like the sign in the café, outside. Such color."

"It's nothing, really. A little animation, some HD graphics, a little neon lighting, and you got a public café, good for the whole family."

"So, where do I fit in? I'm more of a Yakumo Cat, than a Yakumo Bunny…"

BEEP!
"Actually… You are." Hikari said, as she set Yakumo to Default Mode.

Yakumo beeped, as she was standing straight, "Hello. I am Yakumo."

Hikari bowed and said, "And to be blunt, you're starting to feel ragged. So, I figured… Why not use you, as a display doll, for the people. Of course, kids don't need to be so needy at you. Let's just say that you, Yakumo Prime, are a relic."

Yakumo beeped, as she was moving robotically, "I am Yakumo. Anything you say, I will listen."

Hikari went closer, as she moved her right arm, posing like she was holding a tray. Yakumo's left arm was on her hip, as Yakumo let out a light smile. Hikari then deactivated her motors, as she said, "It's for your own good… You know what they say… Out with the old, in with the new… and to be honest, I never intend to hurt you. If this goes successful, we can keep you, as our display. If not, well, I can always fix you up."

Hikari blushed, as she leaned to her, "But, to be honest… Yakumo Prime… I have a confession to make… I wanted to run my side company, and work out your bunny café, but… I did have a little detail left out."

She went closer to her face and whispered, "I had always loved you, Yakumo. I am not into this sort of way, but it was because… You're beautiful… like a Nurse Joy-Bot or an Officer Jenny-Tron. I know you understand love… but I feel it, like the love for caring Pokémon and humans…"

She kissed Yakumo on the lips, as Yakumo's eyes started to fade to a dimmed dark reddish color. Her battery was completely drained out, as Hikari felt refreshed. She smiled and said, "Her life source… Yakumo Prime status: 0% battery life; unit has been deactivated… Good. She's good enough as a display mannequin, now. Yakumo, you will forgive me. But I am an advanced android. You, however, are just getting old. But I don't hate on you. I'm too nice…"

She leaned to the frozen and dead Yakumo Robot, as she concluded, in a whispered to her face, "It's just that I'm a tad bit jealous of you…"

She let out a small frown upon her face and closed her eyes. She nodded and whispered to herself. Then, she summoned two of her WPCA employees, as she instructed, "Have Yakumo ready… at once."

The two men carried the prone robot away, as Hikari sat down in her chair. She whispered, as she was upset, "I know it's wrong of me, but I had no choice. It's not a hostile takeover; it's just a new fresh start for this café. It's time to start breathing in new life."

At the lab, Yakumo was placed on a glass pedestal, as the men in WPCA uniforms sealed her in a glass case. They rolled Yakumo down, in a huge trough, going past two technicians, attaching a penguin beak onto an Eri Robot in cyan. In another room, a Miko Fox in pink was hairless, as one technician prepared a colorful wig for her. It was pink and red, with mauve highlights, and it was very long hair. The technician was brushing it, to tame the Robot Fox's new hairstyle. In another room, a red Yakumo Cat, dressed in a Delcatty-print uniform, was doing cat poses, meowing and purring, continuously.

They arrived at the main hall in the café, and then placed the display of Yakumo onto the middle of the stage. The men left, as a third WPCA employee placed a small plaque on the pedestal. It said "Yakumo Bunny – Prototype Bunny Robot". He placed a small tray onto her right hand, and posed her like she was serving to her customers.

Opening day for this café was ready, but it will not feature Yakumo.

Meanwhile, back in the office, Hikari looked into the address book to find Tenma's house. But no luck. The address book that she found in Yakumo's desk was blank. She sighed, "Oh, darn. And I was hoping to talk to Tenma, personally. Oh, well. I do not need her, yet. We can open, without her. She is still an employee to the café."

She sat back down and beeped, "Shutting down… Bye-bye…"

Her head bent down, as her eyes clicked closed and her mouth smiling. She was recharging, again, as she was feeling happy to work in the café, but deep down, saddened that she had to shut down her partner.

Back at Tenma's house, Tenma was fully charged, as she activated herself. Her eyes opened, and her blue eyes shone. She spoke in a robotic tone, "Hello, Honey. I am Tenma. Anything you say, I will listen. Welcome to our café. Honey. You're so handsome. Anything you say, I will listen."

She remained motionless, as she kept speaking robotically. It would take two hours for her to warm-up her motors, so she could walk around, being she was deactivated, all day, last night.

She started to move, as she looked at herself in the mirror. She blushed, as she smiled, "I look beautiful."

She removed her pigtails, and then removed the ribbon on her white shirt. She unbuttoned her shirt, halfway, revealing her chest, with her white bra on. She gave herself a kissing gesture, and then blushed, reverting herself to her Sultry mode. She said, in a deep alluring voice, "Oh, honey. Do I find myself sexy?"

She teased her long black hair and did sultry poses to the mirror. She smiled and said, "So, so, so sexy… I'm so pretty, dashing, alluring… Honey, do you find me cute? I know I am. I am a cute bunny girl. Anything you say, I will listen…"

She kissed the mirror, as she winked, "Come on and see me, sometime, honey."

Yakumo made her into her Default more, but what she didn't know was that she was in Default mode for so long that she randomly set herself to another mode she's programmed as. And in Yakumo's fright, Tenma was at her highest mode: Sultry Mode.

She lied on the couch, as she was posing like a supermodel. She beeped, as she was in an alluring gesture, "See something you like? I am a Tenma Bunny, after all. Anything you say, I will listen."

Of course, in Sultry Mode, the technicians were lucky that all the gynoids in the café cannot strip down, being that it's a café.

Suddenly, a knock on the door was made, as a girl with long blonde hair, done in pigtails, and in red ribbons, was by the front door. She was wearing a pink blouse and jeans. It was Eri Sawachika, Tenma's best friend and Yakumo's former partner in the café.

"Hello? Yakumo? I came by to visit. I overheard about your new business deal with the WPCA, and I thought I can celebrate with you."

The door opened, as Tenma appeared. She winked to her, as Eri smiled, "Hi… Tenma. Uh, is Yakumo home?"

Tenma gave a kissing gesture to her, as she said, "Welcome, honey."

Eri asked, "Uh, you okay, Tenma?"

She whispered, as she realized, "Oh, right. She's Tenma Prime. I forgot."

She stated, "Well, is Yakumo here? I want to celebrate with he-."

She grabbed her arm and giggled, "Celebratory business? Why not? Come on in, honey, and let's celebrate~!"

ZING!
"HEY-, WHOA!" Eri cried, as she was pulled in Tenma's house, unaware that she's becoming an alluring android. Eri decided to play along, until she can figure it out.

Tenma placed her on the couch, as Tenma beeped, "Would you like some tea, honey?"

She winked, as Eri said, "Uh, sure…"

Tenma left to make tea, as Eri whispered, "Something wrong here. Why's Tenma acting so… seductive? And where the hell's Yakumo?"

She thought, "Is Tenma getting a screw loose, or has she learned new ways to get a boyfriend? But who could date her, as she is now?"

Eri said, "Whatever the case, I have to find Yakumo. I know we don't work together, anymore, but she's got a lot of explaining to do."

As she waited, Tenma pulled out a kettle and started to make tea. As it was on the oven, Tenma blushed, as she beeped, "For my customer. She's such a nice person."

Eri said, as she waited for Tenma to come back, "The minute her guard is down, I'll set her back to her normal functions. She's all freaky, but it's like she's becoming sexy. But then again, she's like a cute child…"

She added, "And to add, that's not how you tease a customer, showing off your assets!"

Tenma returned, as she said, "Tea should be ready, soon. Right now, let's talk…"

She went closer, as Eri asked, "Yes. Tenma, we should-."

She placed her right leg up by Eri, who was seated on the couch, as Tenma leaned closer. She whispered, "Is this warm enough, honey?"

Eri thought, as she was nervous, "I have to do something…"

She pulled out a small palm tablet, as she whispered, "I'm sorry, Tenma."

She then had a USB drive in her hand and held Tenma's face with her free hand. Tenma grabbed Eri's head and placed her face into her bosom. Tenma smiled, as she was relaxed, "Honey, I enjoy your visit… Want to stay a little longer?"

All Eri could do was blush heavily. She grabbed the USB drive and went to her left ear. She connected it, and then used her small tablet to activate it. Tenma spazzes out a bit, being "Honey… Honey… Honey… Honhonhonhonhonhon-."

BEEP! WHrrrrr…
Tenma powered down, as Eri shut her off. She then pressed "Reboot" on the tablet, and Tenma suddenly beeped, flashing her blue eyes, lightly. Eri said, "Thank god… What the hell happened?"

Tenma suddenly rebooted, as she said, in a normal tone, "Eri? What are you doing here?"

Eri blushed, as she pointed at her. Tenma gasped, as she covered herself, "OH! ERI! WHAT GIVES? Did you just-?"

"I just came in, damn it!" Eri barked, "And you, all of a sudden, decided to play striptease!"

Tenma scoffed, "I did not!"

Eri then thought, "Oh, right. She has no recollection of what occurred."

She said, "Tenma, where's your sister?"

Tenma replied, "At her job. She never told me about where she worked at."

Eri said, "The café. Of course. But I thought she closed it."

"What's closed?"

"Nothing. Tenma, do me a favor and stay here. I'm going down to the café. But afterwards, I'll check up on you, and see how you're feeling."

The tea kettle whistled, as Tenma gasped, "OH! The tea!"

Eri said, as she sighed, angrily, "…after I have some tea."

Tenma said, "Oh, no need to worry. I can have myself some tea. I'll save some for Yakumo, when she returns. You won't stay long?"

Eri barked, "PUT YOUR DAMN CLOTHES ON!"

Tenma said, "I am wearing clothes, silly!"

Eri complained, "Well, straighten yourself up, then! I'm done."

She walked off, saying, "Yakumo, I am coming for you."

She left to the café, as Tenma asked, "Huh? What's wrong with her?"

XXXXX

Moments later, Eri arrived at the café, as she saw the sign with Tenma on it. Eri growled, "Platinum Prettiness?! Just what kind of cornball gag this is?"

She went inside, as she was furious, wanting to have a word with Yakumo. However, when she arrived, she saw that it was empty, with Yakumo inside, in the middle of the café, encased in her glass cell. Eri approached to motionless Yakumo, as she asked, "Huh? I don't remember a mannequin that resembles Yakumo. But… why is she in a bunny outfit? She's so lifelike."

She looked at the plaque, and was shocked to learn of what it was. She whispered, "No… It's… It's really her? What happened to you?"

Hikari said, as she appeared, "I happened. That's what happened to her. No need to worry. She's still in working condition. Sadly, she's retired."

Eri gasped, as she saw her. She whispered, "You…"

Hikari smiled, "Ah. Eri Sawachika. An honor to meet you, a co-conspirer of the Eri Chicks."

Eri asked, as she was scared, "What are you doing here?"

Hikari extended her hand and said, "I am Hikari, owner of the WPCA – World Poké-."

"I know who you are, you fembot fool!" Eri roared.

Hikari put her arm down, as she said, "You heard of me?"

Eri nodded, "The Nurse Joys and Officer Jennies. I have heard so much about them, but I never revealed them to public."

Hikari stated, "Only for a proper duty, if given a reason why. Our Joys and Jennies, or Jenny-Trons and Joy-Bots, are now working at 100% efficiency. Platinum Prettiness, our new café, will be the successor to your Bunny Café, as we are increasing production, to the next level. We are honoring Miss Yakumo's duty, but she has been running ragged."

Eri asked, "Huh? You mean her? Like, she was being torn apart?"

Hikari said, "No. She's feeling heartbroken, being that her sister, Tenma, was once an employee here… or should I say, Tenma Prime?"

Eri growled, "What did you do to her?"

Hikari explained, "She did it to herself. All I did was erase her battery power. This is only a test, being that she is a popular model. If unsuccessful, she can return. But she's delicate. Promise you I won't scrap her. She's a liable asset… unlike you, who abandoned the project, because Yakumo here had bad reviews."

Eri seethed, as Hikari smirked, "You want to know a secret? I am jealous of her… I helped create the Jennies and Joys, and became its leading CEO of the WPCA, no, the very first android CEO, since the creation of the first ever android actor. She's too beautiful, and she created these cosplay animals, in her image, Tenma's image, and your image. I kept the Eri Chicks, but no longer made them chickens. I made most of them penguins, ducks, and birds. I even made an Eri Chick in white and red, and made her into a robin."

She added, "Platinum Prettiness… It's not just a namesake, but a livelihood of my existence. The truth is that I wanted perfection. And that's all there is to it. You, Yakumo, Tenma, Mikoto… they are old relics, and Yakumo here… she's of an era of bygone days…"

She whispered to her ear, "She's obsolete…"

Eri couldn't stand it. She grabbed Hikari's neck and roared, "SHUT UP! I DON'T WANNA HEAR IT, YOU AUTOMATED BITCH! How could you do this to Yakumo? What did you do to her? You're evil! You're not a Nurse Joy-Bot! You're like…"

Hikari stated, in an obvious guess, "Team Rocket? I can assure you… I'm not Team Rocket. Besides, the girl I resemble is one of the good guys, and a popular coordinator from Sinnoh. WPCA is NOT a criminal guild! Don't you think I'd know that, right away?"

Eri yelled, "You won't get away with this!"

Hikari smirked, "You can talk, abandoner…"

Eri gasped, as Hikari beeped, "Your Eri Test Robot… She died, because of you… Tenma Prime… She's conflicted, as she is human… Mikoto Prime… perfect, but in a world of her own OS… and Yakumo… She made the café, you became the partner, you became a household name in robotics, and for cosplay, and for even a family-friendly establishment… You became a popular investor, creating android yous, and what happened? You quit!"

She nodded, "Losers never quit, and quitters never sob, knowing that her heart is breaking… Yakumo. What will you do now?"

Eri was angry, as she said to her, "You little robotic brat! I swear to god, you won't get away with it! You are for human and Pokémon, but THIS! This isn't just family-friendly! It's… It's a hostile takeover!"

Hikari smiled, as she tilted her head to the right, "Is that a fact? Well, then… I have one thing to add… add… I have one-."

BZZZ! Whrrr…
Hikari powered down, again, as she bent down, halfway, with her eyes closed and her mouth open, and her arms dangling. Eri tried to revive her, as she was angry that she made Yakumo into a display mannequin. Just as she was about to reactivate her, a girl in long blue hair and big breasts appeared, dressed in a blue policewoman's uniform. It was Mikoto.

"Alright! Just what do you think you're doing, Miss?" Mikoto barked.

Eri asked, as she was surprised, "Mikoto? Uh, I mean, Mikoto Prime… What are you-?"

Mikoto stated, as she saluted robotically, "Hello. I am Officer Mona. I am a Jenny-Tron model, freshly made. Miss Eri. Sawachika. You are under arrest."

Eri barked, "ON WHAT GROUNDS? You saw what happened! Mikoto… Hikari, she's… She's taking over Yakumo's café!"

Mikoto added, "No. She is improving it. As a Jenny-Tron, I am programmed to uphold the law, and maintain perfection."

Eri cried, "MIKOTO PRIME! SNAP OUT OF IT! You're not an Officer Jenny-Tron!"

Mikoto beeped, "Error. Miss Sawachika. You are. Charged. With the following. Crimes: Assaulting the new owner of the café. Trespassing on public property, without clearance. Addressing an Officer Jenny-Tron as "Mikoto". Please refrain from calling me Mikoto. I am Mona."

Eri said, "I don't care! You're still you. Hikari, she's broken, and you just stand there, doing nothing, but play policewoman?"

Two Jenny Robots, women with blue hair, in blue and aqua police uniforms and skirts, and a blue police hat on, appeared, as they grabbed Eri's arms. Eri cried, "HEY! What are you doing?"

Mikoto said, as she was glaring at her, "Now, Miss Sawachika. I know you are a valued conspirator to our café, but I refuse to have you be so violent… for a human, at least."

Eri looked at the powered off Hikari, as she sobbed, "I didn't mean to… but you have to believe me. What she says is lies."

POW!
Mikoto slugged Eri in the stomach with her fist, as she winked, "Anything you say, I will listen, Honey. Now, Miss Eri. Sawachika. While I am giving you a warning, I am afraid I'll have to ask you to leave. Right away. As soon as possible. Not a second longer. RIGHT! NOW!"

Eri wept, as she was furious, "You'll never get away with this, Hikari!"

She was being escorted to the front door, as Hikari bent upward and stood straight. She whirred her head, seeing Eri being dragged away by the Jenny-Trons. Hikari whispered, as she said, "Sucker. I knew the humans fell for my fake shutdown trick. I know it's rude of me to do so, but the deal is made. Employed or not, Sawachika is a loyal member of our Bunny Café. Now… We should clean this place up."

She looked at the floor, as she added, "Also, we'll need more fresh carpeting."

Outside the café, the Jenny-Trons and Mikoto threw Eri out of the building, onto the streets.

Mikoto boomed, "And stay out!"

SLAM!
She slammed the door, as Eri sobbed, "Mikoto… Yakumo… What has that android done to you?"

Thunder struck, as rain was falling. Eri sniffled, as she was crying. She whispered, "I have to save this café. Damn her! I know she's not evil, and she's doing this as a way to continue our café chains, but this is madness! Is the Hikari Robot malfunctioning, or is this her natural state?"

She stood up and said, "Whatever the case… and Yakumo now gone forever… I have to do something… But how?"

She walked away, leaving the café, as Hikari watched on from her office window. Hikari smiled, as she beeped, "Eri. Sawachika. Blonde, young, and very arrogant. Such beauty misplaced. Eri… I know this… Everything you say, I will doubt, Honey. She's human, and yet, inferior. But, as a head of WPCA, all humans are cool. She just knows too much."

She beeped, as she held up a phone, "Attention all Jenny-Trons. Miss Eri. Sawachika. is not to set foot in my café, at all times. Scan her, once she enters. If she's a robot, she's one of us. If she's human, remove her."

She signed off, as she said, "One to go. Tenma Prime, we should meet, once I find you."

Hikari watched on, as she had only one more robot to learn more about: Tenma. Will she succeed, and when will she open Platinum Prettiness?

To be continued…
