"Attention! Fanfic begins in 60 seconds!"

A Soldier gasped, "The fanfic? With US?!"

A group of soldiers were running to the auditorium, as the fan fic was about to start.

(Intruder Alert is played)

Soldier, a man in a RED uniform and helmet, grabbed many bags of popcorn and peanuts. "CHARGE! Grab every ration you can! Leave no bag behind, men! HUP-TWO! HUP-TWO! HUP-TWO!"

He shouted at the Pyro, "YOU! Make more popcorn! THAT! IS! AN ORDER!"

The Pyro, a man in a mask and a RED asbestos suit, started popping the kernels with his flamethrower. "Mmmmmmrrrrrrrpgh!" He shouted.

BLU Demoman, a dark-skinned man in an eye patch and hat, with bombs on his vest, grabbed his bottle of Scrumpy, as the Scout, a thin boy in a baseball hat and RED shirt, ran past him, calling, "MOVE, CYCLOPS! MOVE! It's starting!"

A RED Sniper, in his hat and glasses, holding rifle, called to the Scout, "Right up, lad!"

He had hot dogs in his arms, frantically running to the auditorium. He bumped into the Heavy, a huge fat man with no hair, in his BLU attire and holding his machine gun, Sasha, and half a sandvich in his hand.

"Horosho! Sandvich makes me strong!" Heavy laughed.

The RED Scout shouted, "Would you look at you? I mean, LOOK at you!"

BLU Solider shouted, from behind, "Dammit! MOVE, maggots! Are you all trying for a Section 8?"

Heavy and Scout ran off, as Soldier picked up a hot dog, and then took a bite out of it.

At the auditorium, the Administrator called, "The fanfic will begin in twenty seconds…"

Everyone in the RED and BLU team were in their seats, as the screen was about to run.

A BLU Scout ran to the front seat, "FRONT SEAT! WOOO!"

A RED Spy appeared in the seat, as he smiled, "I think not."

He smoked his cigarette, as the BLU Sniper called out, "HEY YOU! NO Smoking, mate!"

The BLU Pyro grumbled, in anger, "Mrghfrr!"

RED Scout called out, "Hey, hey, yo! When's the movie starting?"

The Engineer, in his BLU attire, in a hardhat and goggles, strumming on his guitar, said, "Quiet, shorty!"

RED Heavy roared, "IT'S COMING! INCOMING!"

The BLU Sniper called, "Hey, down in front, tubbo!"

The BLU Demoman shouted, "Wake me when it's over! YOU don't have an excuse!"

The RED Pyro laughs, as the RED Heavy sat down. Everyone was in their seats, as the RED and BLU teams saw the film leader countdown on the screen.

5… 4… 3… 2… BEEP!
RED Medic laughed, "Ja Wohl! RAUS! RAUS!"

RED Scout called, "Here comes two! WHOOO!"

The scene faded to black.

Miz-K Note: Yes, folks. That was the cold open. And YES, they're from "Team Fortress 2".
On side note, I DO NOT own the TF2 characters, and also THESE characters, in the following fanfic.

Miz-K Takase's
Mecha Trifecta II
PRESENTS:

It was a peaceful day in Shibuya, as Ran Kotobuki, a girl with bleach blonde hair in a perm, and a red streak highlight, wearing a red coat with a pink top and denim short jeans, was walking with her friend, Aya Hoshino, a girl with long black hair, cut up to her shoulders. She was wearing her pale yellow sweater, with a green tie and green plaid skirt. Ran and Aya were walking down Shibuya, as Ran complemented her.

"I like your hair, Aya," she said, "You managed to clip it all off?"

Aya responded, "Oh, Ran. I wanted to look more mature."

"Is it for Rei, possibly?"

"Why, yes. Once he sees me in this hairstyle, he'll go nuts for me! Or… possibly, he'll just sternly compliment me, like always."

Ran held her shoulder, as she insisted, "Aya, I want you to believe in yourself on this. You cut your hair, only for your boyfriend. But you know he cannot be so facetious. Just let it ride out, and you'll be okay."

Aya smiled, "Yeah, you're right."

Ran added, "And, if he hates it, you can always let it grow back to its original length."

Aya giggled, as she fluffed her hair, "Well… The barber made it a little too short, but I guess I can try. If Otohata hates my new hairstyle, I'll let it grow out, like yours."

Ran said, "Well, I have been dying it with bleach, now and then, but Mom and Dad told me not to let my hair dry out. So, I had to get it clean and fix up my perm, often."

Aya said, "You know, that reminds me, a couple years back… You had long hair, without the perm."

Ran said, as she was annoyed, "Please, Aya… Don't take me back to when I had that ridiculous form of being the Super Cop."

"Exactly. You looked like a badass Detective Kudoh, and you had the attire to do so."

Ran remembered her persona, Super Cop Ran Kotobuki, after she got a strange pillow from a raffle she won, which brainwashed her into a super-powerful police girl, since her family tree is a family of cops, sworn to protect Japan. Long ago, Ran Kotobuki wanted to become a powerful and yet classy and well-dressed cop, when she was young; however, her mother informed her that her flashy attire and a bleached hairstyle was illegal and not up to the dress code, when being a cop. So, she abandoned her lifestyle and desire of being a cop, and became a GAL. But after countless times, Ran was offered to become a cop, instead of a GAL. And all the time, she said NO.

Ran explained, "Besides, you can't be a GAL, forever. The only reason I wanted to become a cop was to be one-of-a-kind. But when Mom said I can't wear jewelry, wear platform shoes, and even get highlights, my dream was shattered. Granted, I wanted to be a cop, but what's the fun, without anything to be fabulous?"

Aya said, "Well, at least you were amazing, when you stopped the office raider, back then."

"Thank Rei. He helped me, as Sayo said. Shibuya is all about keeping the peace. And you know… maybe someday I'll go back to my old dream… but as long as there are conditions, with my current attire. Until then, I'll pass, for now."

"Oh, Ran…"

They continued walking, as a shadowy figure was watching on, peering at the two girls, who were walking down the streets of Shibuya.

"Yes… She's perfect…"

That was the start of Ran Kotobuki's transformation… back to being a Super Cop. Of course, after she transformed back to being the World's Greatest GAL, Ran was reminded of her moment that she became a cop, briefly. Kotobuki tossed out ALL the police stuff in her room, but she kept the red jacket and jeans. She figured that her attitude and power of justice made her look awesome.
She kept it as a reminder, as she may one day relive her dream of being a cop, like her family, thus completing the generation of Kotobukis, in her family. Of course, she never listened to her father, Taizo Kotobuki, after it was years ago that he was responsible for her training, and the only casualty was her lunch – fried chicken… in which HE made, dressed as a bear, posing as the king of a planet no one heard of.
But time went on, and Ran decided it was for the best, no longer becoming a cop. But fate may bring her back to being a cop, when something happens to Aya, her best friend…

The Return of Super Cop
Ran Kotobuki!

That evening, Ran was in bed, as she was resting peacefully, until she started to feel uncomfortable. She tossed and turned, as she was moaning in pain. She woke up and sat up, yelling out, "DAMN IT! I can't sleep! It's so noisy!"

She then pulled out a magazine, which was her father's old Police handbook. She then thought, "Huh? How did this get here? I thought I tossed out ALL my police gifts… from Mom and Dad. Well, except that Odaiba Cop poster. I gave that to Sayo, as a thank you gift, for reminding me. I mean-."

She blushed, as she went to sleep, on the handbook, "Well, bedtime…"

She went fast asleep, after her trip down memory lane.

Hours later, Ran was moaning in her sleep, as she was in the dream world. She looked around and saw a huge dreamscape, full of birds, clouds, and water, as she was in a beach. She thought, "Huh? It isn't summer…"

"No. It's not."

"Huh? Who said that?"

"Right behind you."

She turned around and saw a girl with long bleach blonde hair and a red highlight on the right side of her hair. She was wearing a red jacket, jeans, and a white shirt, with high heels.

"Uh… Who the hell are you?" Ran asked.

The girl said, "Isn't it obvious? Surely, you've forgotten who I am, right?"

Ran gasped, "That voice… She looks like me, sounded like me, and even acts like… a…"

She recognized her, as she suddenly remembered, "You're… AUGH! YOU'RE THAT SUPER COP THAT SAYO AND YAMATO TOLD ME ABOUT!"

The girl was Ran Kotobuki, in her Super Cop form. She held her ears, as she moaned, "OW! Jeez… Was I really that loud?"

Ran smiled, "Sorry… But why are you here? You're nothing but a broken memory! Plus, kudos on stopping the office raider, long ago."

The Super Cop said, "Oh, it's not just the officer raider. I stopped a lot of crimes, including wallet thieves, purse snatchers, criminals, lost kids and pets… you name it, I stop it! You remember who I am, Ran Kotobuki!"

Ran asked, "Uh, seriously? You're supposed to be me?"

"One day you'll understand. Father destined you to be a Policewoman, and yet you threw it away, all for your petty attempts at being the world's flashiest cop."

"Well, Mom did tell me that, but that was only for on-duty. It sucks."

"Well, you have learned a lot from Father's training…"

"Yeah. And I became a protector and role model for Shibuya, even if the family doesn't appreciate it."

She then asked, "So… Why are you here? Maybe chat a bit, before I wake up in about two seconds?"

The Ran Cop asked, "How's Aya?"

"Aya?"

"Aya Hoshino… The girl that once was going on subsidized dates, until you saved her? The girl that was about to be touched badly by perverts in the outskirts of Shibuya, in which you saved her from? The girl who was your best friend? THAT Aya Hoshino!"

"What do you want with her?"

"I want to protect her… If not, I can save her. My woman's intuition, and police instigation, tells me that Aya is in danger. You see, you may need me, but not just me, per se. If you look closely at her, you'll know something is wrong with her. Understand?"

"I think I do… But it's not like Aya is in danger, at all. But…"

She nodded and said, "Well, I'll watch over her, but I will summon you, when I get the chance."

She walked off, as the Ran double barked, "By the way… Are you happy being a GAL?"

"Yeah. Why?"

"You can't be a GAL, forever. One day, you're living the dream… protecting Shibuya, as a policewoman! And seeing that I helped you out, back then, believe me on this. I'm not making you choose. You'll get to be both a Cop and a GAL. Think about it."

She vanished, as Ran gasped in horror, "No freaking way… Is she like… a nightmare?"

She then pondered, "Aya…"

Back in the real world, Ran was dizzy, as she was still sound asleep, having a very terrible dream.

XXXXX

Moments later, late at night, at Aya's house, she was in her room, sound asleep. Suddenly, a figure appeared from the shadows. She had long hair and brown eyes. She let out a smile and said, "Oh, Aya… You're perfect."

Aya woke up, as she asked, "Huh? Who said that?"

The girl's voice was similar and exact, like Aya's. She turned to her and widened her eyes. She gasped, "KYA! You… You're… Yo-."

The girl covered her mouth and grabbed her wrist. She slammed her to the bed, as she was restraining her. Aya tried to struggle out, but couldn't. She let out a scream.

"KYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!"

The next morning, Ran met up with Aya, as she was with her long black hair, up to her hip. It was her original hair. Ran, along with Miyu, a girl with short blonde hair, wearing her school uniform, was confused.

"Ran, you said she went to the salon and got her haircut!" Miyu scolded.

Ran barked, "I DID! I don't get it… Did it grow back, with magic?"

Aya replied, as she paused a bit, "Ran…"

"Huh?"

Aya tilted her head to the side and said, "Ran… Kotobuki Ran…"

Ran asked, "Uh, yeah. You got my name."

She turned to Miyu and said, "Yamazaki… Miyu…"

Miyu asked, "Are you okay?"

Aya replied in a calm tone, "Yes, Miyu. Yes, Ran."

Ran asked her, "Well, answer me… Did you or did you not get your haircut?"

Aya replied, as she fluffed her hair, "My hair is 100% natural. I am very cute and smart."

She continued to speak, "I love my boyfriend."

Ran replied, "Aya… You acting funny? Did you study too hard, or was your heart too tight?"

Aya calmly replied, as she placed her hands on her chest, "Heart functions calm… IQ stability is at full capacity…"

Both girls are confused, as Aya bowed to them and said, "While this is rather a nice chat we had, school should be starting, soon."

Ran barked, "Aya! You need help! You should see the nurse, for this behavior!"

Aya walked off, as she ignored her. She smiled, as she was walking, but Ran barked at her, "HEY! GET BACK HERE!"

She grabbed her wrist. Aya gasped in horror, as Ran cried, "What's wrong with you? Why are you acting fun-?"

Aya grabbed her arm and tossed her down to the pavement with a judo throw. Aya dusted herself off, as she said, "Do not touch me…"

She walked off, as Miyu asked, "This isn't like Aya…"

Ran said, "I know. She didn't have to lie to me about the haircut… and she didn't have to slam me down. Something's not right. I don't suppose we should talk to her, after school."

Miyu said, "You may be right. Miyu is feeling worried about Aya…"

"You said it."

She then thought, "Could she be warning me about her? Nah… Even so, how bad can Aya be, if she's in danger?"

XXXXX

After school, Aya was walking home, feeling tired and exhausted.

"Whew. What a day. The school day ended so soon. Time: 4:00pm…"

She walked down the street, as she spotted a boy with brown hair and a black uniform. It was her boyfriend, Rei Otohata. Aya blushed, as she paused for a moment, "Otohaha… Rei Otohata-kun…"

She walked to him, as Rei turned to her, "Oh, hey."

Aya smiled, "Hello…"

She thought, as she blushed, looking at his eyes, "Rei… My boyfriend."

She spoke, "I love my boyfriend."

He asked, "Aya, yes. But why did you say that?"

She approached him and hugged him, speaking in a whisper, "Rei-kun… I love you…"

"Rei-kun?!" He said in a shocked tone, "Aya, call me Rei. No need to be polite and formal."

Aya asked, "Polite? Formal? But, honey, I love my boyfriend. I was hoping we date… a lot…"

He said, "You've lost it, have you?"

She said, as she smiled, "I haven't lost it! What did I lose?"

"Your marbles. What happened to the nervous and weepy Aya?"

"Me? Oh. I… I… Uh… You want me to cry? All girlfriends cry. Crying is an emotion."

He thought, "She's indeed lost it."

He asked, as he held her shoulders, "You feel okay?"

"Never better."

She repeated, "Never better. I love my boyfriend. I love you, Otohata-kun."

She let out a smile and said, "Do you love me?"

Rei smiled and said, "Well… I don't know how you're acting this way, but at least it's better than seeing you cry."

Aya responded, "Crying is an emotion."

Rei said, "I heard you, the first time."

As they were talking, Ran and Miyu were spying on them, mostly concerned for Aya. She said, as she was pissed, "Damn. Aya, why is she talking funny?"

Miyu whispered, "Miyu thinks it's something weird. Ran, do you think this is a new Aya?"

"No, the new Aya would be calm and happy, and with that shoulder-length hair."

"Again with the hair? Ran, stop making lies."

"I'm not! She had it, yesterday!"

"Well, you should've called me…"

"Ooh… Is that right?"

As they watched on, Rei noticed them, and he thought, "Are they for real? Kotobuki's becoming a pain in the ass."

Aya laughed, "Yeah. Kotobuki Ran is a pain."

Ran stifled her screams, as she winced, "Now that's not Aya-like behavior!"

He thought, "Could they know, too?"

He held Aya, as he asked her, "Hey, Aya… Are you sure you're feeling okay?"

Aya whispered, as their faces went closer, "Yes. I love you, Otohata…"

They started to kiss, as Ran was shocked. She whispered in joy, "Alright, Aya… She got it!"

Miyu shushed her and said, "Aya is getting her kiss from Rei…"

They stopped kissing, as Aya blushed completely, as smoke spewed out of her head. She was completely infatuated. She then spoke to him, "Rei… I… Oh… Ah… Ha… Aaaaaaa…"

She continued to speak incoherently, as Rei asked, "Aya? You okay?"

Ran whispered, "What the hell?"

Aya started to shake and speak in a high-pitched tone, followed by a mildly low baritone, and then her normal voice, alternately. She kept shaking, as her eyes twitched lightly.

"Aya… Ah… Rei… Oh… Lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-looooovveee… is an emotion… Aya… ya… ya… ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-yayayayayayayayaya…"

Her head twitched back and sparked from her neck. Rei cried out, "AYA!"

Ran and Miyu rushed out and screamed, "AYA!"

Rei held her, as Aya started to fizzle from her neck, "Hnnnn… nnnn… nnnn… nnnn… nnnn… nnnn… nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn…"

Her eyes faded to black, as Rei gasped, "What is the meaning of this?"

Ran and Miyu shrieked, "A ROBOT?!"

Ran asked, "No way… Have we befriended a ro-? Wait a minute…"

She thought, as Miyu looked at the motionless Aya, cradled in the arms of Rei. Miyu said, "This is a shock. I never knew we met a fully-functional android GAL."

"Android? Gal?" Ran asked, "Aya is not an android!"

She approached her and opened her shirt. Rei said, "What are you doing?"

Ran cheered, "A-HA! LOOK!"

She saw a shiny emerald triangular button on her chest. She then said, as she pressed it, "Maybe THIS will help."

Ran pressed the button, as Aya's chest opened a bit. Smoke spewed out, engulfing around Ran, Miyu, and Rei. They coughed, as Ran moaned, "I think… AUGH! *COUGH!* …she must have… *COUGH!* …overheated…"

Miyu coughed, "What now, Ran? *COUGH! COUGH!*"

The smoke subsided, as Ran said, looking at Aya's blank face, "Aya…"

She then concluded, "The Aya we know is not a robot, and does not speak like a total uber-nerd. There's only one plausible motive for this… Kidnapping!"

She then said in a serious voice, "Otohata, keep Aya, uh, the imposter, company, until one hour. After that, come to my house, by then. We can have Yamato and Sayo look it up."

He asked, "That may be fine, but what will you do?"

Ran said, as she was serious, "Meet me… in one hour… at my house… I'll explain, later. Now, GO!"

Rei took the motionless Aya Robot away, as Miyu asked, "Ran, what are you doing?"

Ran said, "Aya is our friend. I have helped her, many times. I'm doing it again, but this time, we're playing by the style… Super Cop Kotobuki Style!"

Miyu laughed, "Oh, please… You mean that-?"

"YES! THAT! Miyu, call Yamato and have my jacket ready."

"Yeah, but, my Yamato-Kun didn't have it! You have it!"

"I meant for him to freshen it up, so I can return!"

"Wait! Where are YOU going?"

"Home."

She removed her bracelets and said, "I need a change in wardrobe. The Super GAL, Ran Kotobuki, will be put to rest, until Aya is located. Being the daughter of the Police Commissioner, it is my sworn duty to protect the innocent in Japan. The future of Japan is now in my hands."

Miyu then inquired, "Seriously? Since when did you decided to become a serious detective, again?"

Ran said, in a serious tone, "Destiny. Fate. And even a happenstance. I'm still going to be a GAL, no matter what, until I decide otherwise, no matter what fate and disaster is made; but when you kidnap my best friend, after all these years, making her into a sick and twisted android, built to resemble her likeness, and try to steal her boyfriend, that is LOW! Aya Hoshino is somewhere in Japan, or even anywhere in the world. And I'm going to find her. But I'm not going to, as the World's Greatest GAL…"

She threw a bag of her bracelets to Miyu, as she concluded, "Game on! Super Cop Ran Kotobuki… is back!"

She dashed off, heading home, as she muttered, "Damn. And I wasted 10 minutes…"

Miyu whispered, as she held Ran's small bag, "Aya… Please be safe. Ran, I hope you know what you're doing…"

XXXXX

As she got home, Ran barged in, heading to her room, with a serious scowl on her face. She whispered, "This is my destiny. Sorry I had to do it, again… but Father, this was your fault. But I won't let you down, either way. Aya has been kidnapped, and I'm going to stop the bastard that took her. But not as a GAL, as a COP. You owe me, father…"

She went to her vanity table and removed her pink acrylic nails. She then held a cotton ball and removed all her makeup on her face. She then said, "If I'm going to save Aya, I'm going to play by the book… as a cop."

As she was removing her makeup, Yamato, her brother, a boy with brown hair, asked her, "Ran, I got the call from Miyu. What's going on?"

Ran replied, "I'll explain later. All I can ask you is this… Do you have the thing I had, during the Office Raider incident?"

"Yeah. It's in your closet."

"Well, can you wash it for me? I'm going to take a shower. I feel the urge to stop crime, as a cop, again."

Yamato gasped, as he asked, "Wait… You're serious? You're going to be a policewoman?"

Ran yelled, "BRO! Listen up! While I am changing into this attire, I'm still a GAL! But when one of my friends is in danger, this is where I get serious! I still stand by being a GAL… but justice calls onto me, to make sure Shibuya, and all of Japan, is free of its comradery of crime!"

Yamato was confused, "Is she serious? It happened before, then she changed back… But Ran has such spirit that it's no wonder she used to dream of becoming a police officer."

XXXXX

Minutes later, Ran was in her room, after she took a shower. Miyu arrived at her home, calling to her, "Ran! Are you home?"

Ran put on her jeans and white shirt, as Miyu headed upstairs. Ran called, "I'm up here!"

Ran was applying her lipstick on, as Miyu entered her room. She said, "Rei is coming by, shortly. He said that he needed closure, before we can view Aya…"

Ran said, "Good."

She was in her long bleach blonde hair with a red streak, all straight and smooth, as she was putting the finishing touches. Miyu asked, "Don't tell me… Are you dressed like that?"

Ran explained, "Yamato told me of what I looked like, as an officer. Shocking to hear that it was all true, Miyu. So, I figured… Maybe when I retire as a GAL, I'll study to become a cop, and have this kick-ass attire. I mean, I don't even recall, but I stopped the Office Raider, right?"

Miyu nodded, "Yeah. But you were also all over Shibuya, stopping crimes and even saving the day… within a full two hours."

Ran sat up, as she adjusted her hair. Yamato came and gave her the red jacket. He said, "Here you go. I had it cleaned up for you. Are you sure you want to do this?"

Miyu giggled, "Yamato-kun, this is a serious moment. Aya was just kidnapped."

"WHAT?" He cried, "AND YOU DIDN'T CALL ME? WHEN DID IT HAPPEN?"

Miyu pouted, "Oh, Miyu wanted to, but Ran stopped me… She's such a glory hog."

Yamato barked, "Ran, you don't-!"

Ran shouted, "ENOUGH!"

She put on her red jacket, as she continued, "Yamato, Miyu, Rei has Aya, who is actually an android version of her. He is coming over in 20 minutes or more. And I told him "One hour". But he never listens. We need to know where the robot came from, so we can hunt them down. If we find out where it is from, we'll find Aya and the kidnapper."

Yamato asked, "Wait… Do we even have a crime computer?"

Ran said, "Well, no… But I asked Mom to let me borrow Dad's, back at the station. Yamato, once Rei and the Aya-Bot arrives, you drive."

Yamato said, "Yes, Sis. Besides, if Aya is kidnapped by someone, it's serious. Kidnapping is against the law."

Miyu smiled, "Well played, my Yamato-kun…"

Ran then stepped out and called, "NOW, TO ACTION! SHIBUYA DETECTIVE CORPS, MOVE OUT!"

Miyu asked, "Huh?"

Yamato asked, "Are you mimicking a different detective show?"

Ran moaned, as she was annoyed, "Aw, now you ruined the moment."

XXXXX

Meanwhile, in a park, close by, Rei was sitting by the broken Aya Robot, which was in a seated position. He held her on his shoulders and said, "Aya… I miss you."

He then said, as the Aya Robot dropped to his lap, "Well, I better see Kotobuki… She looks like she needed space."

Aya Robot fell to the ground, as it was motionless, with her face still blank, her eyes open, her mouth curled, and her body limp. He picked her up and carried her to his Vespa. He wrapped her hands around her waist and revved up his scooter. He put on his helmet and prepared to motor away, with the broken Aya, holding his waist, very tight.

"Buckle up, Aya. This is going to be a bumpy ride."

To be continued…
