Welcome back, everyone!

Thanks for reading and reviewing! I hope you will continue to read this story and enjoy it. And please remember to review!


Lola had overslept. It was half past ten on a Saturday morning when she entered the Mbola residence's kitchen. Of course, her adopted sister Robyn was up already, but she didn't need much rest anyway. Currently, she was making breakfast.

Robyn was an Asian girl with tall, pink spiky hair - Or at least that's what she looked like. In fact, her skin was made out of synthetic matter. So was her hair, which was large and bushy in order to hide the two large nodes that were sticking out of the sides on her head. The skin was there to hide the fact that her body was made out of metal and plastic. Nobody else in the household knew about this. Not the family Doctor. Not Lola's dad, Kingsley Mbola, the powerful diamond tycoon and diplomat. Not even Vivian, Lola's stepmother and her dad's current wife, who was practically like a mother to Robyn. Nor did they know that Robyn's background story – that her divorced mother had died, and her father was an undercover policeman who couldn't take care of her without putting her in great danger – was a lie. And of course, they didn't know that Robyn was actually a robot created by a noted scientist and inventor named Keiichi Moshimo. Lola was not proud of lying to her family and household, but she did it for a good cause – To give Robyn a chance to lead a normal life and grow into a real girl. And Robyn was doing well for herself. She was speaking normal English, she was getting very well along with the family, and she was fitting nicely into Lola's circle of friends at school. Sure enough, she was more naïve than her 'brother' Robotboy, as she hadn't been confronted by their (mostly) mutual enemies as often, but her emotion chip usually guided her on the right path.

"I thought I saw dad in the living room just now.", Lola casually mentioned as she walked towards one of the fridges.

"That would probably be correct." Robyn replied.

"I thought he had to attend to a conference meeting in Seattle this morning."

"He had to cancel it due to heavy fog in the area; no plane can land in the Sea-Tac Airport. Waffles?"

"Yes, please. But really Robyn, you shouldn't spoil our chef by doing his work."

"Is only breakfast. Besides, I'd be spoiling myself if I never do any chores around here."

"Fair enough."

"But Lola? I have a question…"

"Yes?"

"Maybe is nothing, but I notice something about Robotboy. When he, Tommy and Gus came to visit us last week, he never once spoke directly to me. And whenever I run into Tommy at school, and Robotboy is sitting in his backpack, Robotboy suddenly stops talking – Even if there's no-one else around. "

The "sisters" exchanged slightly nervous glances before Robyn continued:

"Do you think something is the matter?"

"Actually, I've been meaning to talk to you about that", Lola began. You see – "

She was interrupted by a loud crash, as a compact aircraft went through the kitchen ceiling. The impact made both girls fall over. As Lola got back on her feet, she could tell that the ship belonged to Dr. Kamikazi. With him, it was never very difficult to tell: Like most of Kamikazi's machinations, this one had his logo, a big, encircled "K" stamped on the front.

But why would he attack her in her home, and why would he attack so openly, at that? That wasn't his style.

In keeping with this dramatic entrance, a hatch opened in the aircraft, and standing on a ramp, Kamikazi himself slowly rose out of the craft.

"Oh, don't mind me, miss Mbola, I'm just here to pick up some supplies.", he said, laughing at his own dry humor. "Constantine!", he barked. "There's the girl! Go get her, and hurry!" The henchman jumped off the craft and went towards the two girls.

Robyn put herself in front of Lola.

"If you want to abduct Lola, you have to go through me!" she announced bravely.

"Now, why do you think it's her we want…", Kamikazi said with a grin as Constantine picked Robyn up, "…Robotgirl?"

Lola ran towards Constantine, wanting to try and knock him off his feet. But the henchman predicted her move, and kicked her in the stomach. By the time she got back on her feet, Constantine was already climbing back into the aircraft while holding Robyn with a firm grip. It was harder than it looked, for while Robyn didn't have super-strength anymore, she was still built to be stronger than a normal girl of her size.

Lola jogged her mind, desperately trying to think of something she could do to help. Trying to convince Kamkiazi that Robyn wasn't really Robotgirl, probably wasn't going to work. Kamikazi wouldn't have pulled a stunt like this unless he somehow knew that Robyn was Robotgirl. He wasn't guessing.

"Let go of Robyn!" she yelled at Constantine, pointing at her wristwatch. "Or I'll superactivate her!"

Constantine hesitated slightly, and looked at Robyn.

"She's bluffing." Kamikazi responded calmly. "She's not capable of superactivating her."

Constantine continued climbing, and Lola gritted her teeth. "I admit it!", she shouted to Kamikazi. "She is Robotgirl! But she's powerless! I mean, if she still had her powers, she'd be wiping the floor with you guys now!" she argued. "So what good is she to you?"

Kamikazi laughed again. "She's powerless for the moment, but as soon as I remove the blocking chip in her head, I will have my superweapon!

Lola's heart sank. There was nothing she could do to bluff him; Kamikazi knew everything. Robyn, who had been struggling to get out of Constantine's grip until now, suddenly stopped moving. "What chip? Lola, what does he mean? I still have superpowers?"

Lola looked despairingly and guiltily at her friend, as Constantine dragged her aboard.

"All right, what's all this commoti…"

Lola turned around and looked into her father's eyes. Robyn noticed that Lola and Kamikazi both seemed equally startled by Kingsley Mbola's presence. Mr. Mbola, on the other hand, looked more angry than shocked to see a small, scarlet aircraft in the middle of his kitchen.

"What is this, a terrorist attack in my own house?" he shouted.

"Boss, you said that the ambassador wouldn't be home today." Constantine pointed out.

"I know!" the self-proclaimed doctor snapped. "I don't get this! Well, we got what we wanted, anyway. Let's just hurry up and get out of here!"

Kamikazi closed the hatch, and the aircraft took off before Mr. Mbola had even realized that the "terrorists" had taken his adopted daughter with them. He turned to Lola.

"What just happened here?" he demanded. Who was that man?"

"It was Dr. Kamikazi, dad!"

"Kamikazi, the mad scientist? But he is just a myth!"

"No dad, he's real! And he just abducted Robyn!"

"But why? Is this Kamikazi an enemy of her father?"

"Well… yes, in fact, that's exactly what he is." Lola answered. And that was the truth, even though it was still a bit misguiding as far as her father was concerned. But she still wasn't sure if it was wise to tell him the whole truth. And right now, she didn't have the time.

For the moment, her father looked terribly perplexed by the whole situation. Lola decided to take advantage of this to get out of the house before he attempted to ask her more questions.

"Call the police, dad!" she shouted, and ran out the door, while picking up her cell phone. – While I call someone who can actually help, she added in her mind.

TO BE CONTINUED

(A/N: In case you're wondering, I made up some of the details regarding Lola's family in this chapter - Like Ambassador Mbola's first name (although I thought I heard someone call him "Kingsley" in an episode). I also made up Lola's stepmother Vivian, and the idea that the Mbola family fortune comes from diamonds. Lola's father is supposed to be so rich, and the money's gotta come from somewhere. )
