Julie and Kanade stared down, as Kanade grabbed a shotgun. She said, "Where's Akito, before I shoot you."

Julie said, "Try it."

Steffi called out, "Shoot her, if you like. This girl is a brick wall!"

Julie remarked, "Well?"

Kanade snarled, as she barked, "I'm not kidding! Where's Akito? AND Kuon?"

Julie explained, "You think you know where she is? I can't tell you."

Steffi replied, "Yeah. She got a call from him, as he is far away. But if he told her where, she'd know!"

Julie nodded, "Read a book!"

Kanade huffed, "You smarmy little bitch. YOU die, first…"

Julie barked, "Leave her! It's me you want. Mind explaining why you barged in, wanting your ex-boyfriend?"

Kanade huffed, "I'm angry, because Akito BROKE UP with me! And for a floozy that you recovered…"

Steffi laughed, as Kanade glared at her. Steffi coughed and tittered, "Uh… Too soon?"

Julie huffed, "I did. Because she was tainted by your sick act."

"Where did you get them?"

"I don't have the right to tell you, but you sure need to know some answers. Answers that you won't get from me."

Kanade held the shotgun to her head and said, "Maybe your boomstick will cooperate, when I blow your head off your body."

Julie explained, "These bodies were recovered, after AAW quarantined your island, under the guidance of your sick essence of Onigiri. Because of you, these two girls, and two others that Kona Force 7 knows, are made this way. I wanted to recover them, after what Onigiri did, and you acted as her puppet."

"I'm not a puppet… I'm more of a businesswoman, obeying the Age of Tohru Honda. I am Director of Miyagami Academy."

"You expect me to believe that? You're a fucking monster."

Kanade said, as she aimed the shotgun at her, "I am guilty. But what's done is done… and you dare not interfere in Tohru Honda's defiance. Now… give me Nanaho, so I can revive her. Believe me… She is helpful… to finding Kuon."

Julie growled, "You make me sick."

Kanade roared, "GIVE ME NANAHO!"

Julie approached a red button, from under the table, as she taunted, "You want her… come and GET HER!"

She pressed the button, as Nanaho was surrounded by a white force field. Steffi backed up, as she gasped, "D-d-dafuq?"

Kanade smirked, "Big mistake… bitch."

BANG!
Julie was shot in the face, point blank, as she backed away. She was a bit singed, as Kanade gasped. Her entire head remained, invulnerable by the shotgun fire. Her face left very little chrome spots. Julie snarled, "You made the biggest mistake… bitch." She then spat out a couple of shotgun pellets, as she smirked.

Kanade gasped, "A CYBORG?"

Julie said, "Didn't hurt."

Steffi gasped, "Julie? You okay, man?"

Julie swatted the shotgun off her hands, as she tackled her down. She started to punch at Kanade's face, as she roared, "YOU PSYCHO DROID!"

Kanade easily kicked her off, throwing her through the wall. She stood up, as she looked at Steffi. She nervously cringed, "Uh, don't hurt me…"

Kanade huffed, "I don't mind Little Miss Cyborg being on my ass. But I have YOU to help me find Akito."

Steffi asked, "Uh, can this wait, until next to never?"

She grabbed her hair and hollered, "WHERE IS AKITO?"

Steffi shrieked, "I DON'T KNOW!"

Julie got up and tackled her down. Julie strangled at Kanade, as Kanade clubbed her in the stomach. Kanade has her tackled down, as Steffi cried, "JULIE! KICK HER ASS!"

Julie called out, "You know, you could help me out, Steffi!"

"Against two cyborg girls, i.e. including you? HELL NO!" Steffi whined, cowardly hiding behind the table.

Julie landed a barrage of swift punches to her face, welting Kanade a bit. She moaned, as Julie landed a swift kick to her head. Kanade fell to the floor, landing on her hands. She growled, as she said, "Somehow the bionics in you has made you strong."

Julie said, "Strong enough to kick your plastic ass, you bionic Barbie. Come on! Round 2? Or better yet, Death Battle!"

Kanade said, "I came for Nanaho and Kuon, and revenge on my ex, Akito… I want their whereabouts…"

Julie asked, "You think finding Akito will make you happy, and killing him? It's a full-time job, but even I know my grudges. Peter Giese is a shit-eating idiot, and I have ways… but this isn't like mine. Yours is fucked up."

Kanade sobbed, "He shouldn't have broken up with me. Akito was my one true love. THAT HUSSY, KUON GINGA! She stole my Akito AWAY!"

Steffi said, "God! She's worse off than Mayura or Seina! Uh, they, too, have boyfriend issues."

Julie added, "And granted, Seina lost her love, on a bet, and Mayura never got a decent boyfriend. Where's the fun at that, eh?"

She stated, "You have two choices, Jinguji. Give up now, or face consequences."

Kanade growled, "I want Kuon. Where is she? I want to find her, right now."

Julie barked, "What part of "NO" do you not understand?"

A voice called, "I believe she is as stubborn as a marmoset on cocaine."

It was Yagi, as she aimed a gun at Kanade. She said, "Jig's up, Jinguji. This time, we're taking you down!"

She called, "Miss Saunders, step back!"

Julie said, "Uh, Kanade's immune to firearm."

Yagi barked, "Don't you think I know that?"

BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!
Kanade was shot in the face, but the bullets bounced off at her. She growled, as she brushed them off, "I'd listen to your cyborg friend. She took a shotgun blast in the face, and remained whole."

Julie said, "Sort of. If that was a big enough explosive shell, it'll take years to have my hair grow back. She's lucky she singed most of my skin off."

"By the Big Rig of Optimus Prime!" Yagi gasped.

Julie smiled, "That's right, genius."

Steffi asked, "I thought she already knew."

Yagi aimed her gun at Kanade and said, "Bullets may not affect you, but I can still shoot you, for not cooperating."

Kanade stared down, as she turned to each girl. She growled, as she looked through a window. She then said to Yagi, "I'll be back."

SMASH!
She dove out the window, as Kanade ran off in a swift sprint. Yagi fired at her, but kept missing. She roared, "JINGUJI!"

Julie huffed, "Not my fault. She broke the window."

Yagi asked, "Miss Saunders… Was that-?"

Julie said, "It is. And yes, she's gone mad. Kanade Jinguji wants Kuon Ginga and Akito Sohma."

Yagi asked, "And?"

"That's it. That purple-haired asshole wants revenge, after her ex-boyfriend dumped her."

"Ooooooh. I take it that she didn't take the break-up well."

Steffi smiled, "Your words. That robot girl has no respect for true love."

Julie asked, "You're Yagi, The Gang's ally? We met when Topher tried to persuade Steffi, last month."

Yagi said, "Yes, ma'am. Hajime Yagi, A-Squad. I'd like to ask you a few questions."

Julie smiled, "Sure thing, eh. Steffi will make you and your friends some tea."

Steffi huffed, "No."

Julie barked, "Steffi…"

Steffi whined, "WHY DOES EVERYTHING HAPPEN TO ME?"

Kazuto and Narue were hiding behind a wall, a bit timid. Julie said, "I said that everyone gets some tea, since your friends are there. They must be ragged over the whole Kanade Jinguji thing."

"I'm ragged, too! Don't I get a break?" Steffi cried.

Yagi said, "Pass. We won't be long. We need to know about why you harbored two survivors of this Miyagami Toyland."

Steffi sighed in relief, "Thank you…"

Julie said, "Well, not much, but after I heard about it, I asked a friend to bring me some survivors. And as luck would have it, she gave me two girls – Kinjo and Ginga. As you can see, in this force field I create, Nanaho Kinjo was one of the victims I have been working on."

"And Ginga?"

"She was my best work. Although she was tough to repair, her body remained sturdy. I even added a special mix of her programming, to assure her freedom."

"And that is?"

"Project UNITY. It's an untested device that is capable for working on all types of robots. This device, when installed, makes the user independent and working in full capacity. This device, when activated, will make the robot person sentient, but in a nicer way."

Yagi asked, "And what sort of sentient features does it have?"

Julie replied, "It's a codec. Kuon was the first to test it out, and already, she is slowly working her independence, since Kanade Jinguji made her a freak. If prolonged in the project's functionality, her memories of her old life will suddenly increase. And with it, she will continue her function, as if she was once human. This usually works, if the android or fembot was once a human being, like me."

Kazuto smirked, "If Deadpool or Wolverine can see you now…"

Julie added, "Of course, adage of personality data must also be required. And during the test run, Miss And here used her favorite PC game inside Kuon, making her a stereotypical Shoujo heroine."

Steffi blushed, and then tittered, "My bad."

Narue asked, "But I don't get it. What does Akito have to do with all this? He is Kanade's boyfriend."

Yagi said, "Ex-boyfriend. Somehow our target does not like being dumped, and cannot take heartbreak, easily."

Steffi said, "Believe me. She's a fucking psycho!"

Julie replied, "Well, that may be so, but I recently had a call from him, before Kanade arrived. Somehow, she has hated the idea of trying to grasp her."

Yagi replied, "Well, we're on the case, into finding Kanade, before she even tries anything funny."

Julie smirked, "Good luck. Kanade is bulletproof, like a Terminator. Albeit not like Arnold…"

Kazuto added, "All the time…"

Julie said, "She has the same bodily features as the T-800."

She typed in the computer, as she showed a schematic of Kanade Jinguji's robot body, "I managed to hack into her personal files, before she bolted. I may look like an Engineer and Technician, but I'm also a computer hacker. Okay, maybe not, but I am a cyborg."

Steffi added, "And a very dangerous one."

Narue asked, "Cyborg? You're not an android?"

Julie laughed, "I WISH! You can thank Mistress Asswipe for making me a monster… and a monster that can kick ass."

Steffi said, "Makie Sasaki ruined her body, but she seemed okay with her cybernetics."

Julie said, "A-ha… Okay. Here. Says here that she's made a strong titanium alloy that can easily bounce a bullet off. But her only weakness in the gunfire is her eyes. Her breasts, that's another story… but it seems that 9mm bullets can pierce into her chest, like a pinot."

Kazuto asked, "So, using a BB gun is out of the question?"

Julie said, "No. BB pellets won't work on a K-850."

Yagi asked, "A K-850?"

Julie viewed the full blueprints, as she said, "Fuck. I knew I've known that cyborg doll from somewhere. The Jinguji Conglomerate. They made an artificial intelligent cyborg, built to preserve peace and lead a paradise in Miyagami Peninsula. Enter the K-850… a one-of-a-kind combat android, built to preserve the peace. Never thought it was Kanade Jinguji, herself…"

Yagi whispered, "My god. So she is a Terminator."

Kazuto laughed, "Called it!"

Julie said, "Not just any cyborg… this cyborg is built to make people happy. However, a fault in her programming made her into an emotional wreck. She was once cosigned to be a part of an all-boys academy, but was turned down, because her emotions were acting up. And then… enter Onigiri…"

Steffi said, "Kanade was given that evil essence in her, only to turn her entire friends into robots, like her. Dolls, indeed. She must've made a collective of K-850 drones."

She blushed, "I think."

Yagi then remembered a part of The Gang's most recent discovery, long ago.

Back at Miyagami Academy (from Season 5), Mizuki and Peter, with Pucchan in hand, entered the dark room, which has a machine inside. It was motoring around, glowing in a magnetic pulse.

"Dude, it reminds me of my air conditioner," he said.

Mizuki said, "It mustbe the source of the mask wearing powers to be. Still, though, I hope it works."

Peter asked, as he grabbed the lever, "Dude, this is easy!"

He flipped the switch, as the motor was turned off. Mizuki said, "Good job, Big Guy."

She kissed him on the lips and said, "You did right…"

The switch flipped back, as the motor powered off. He gasped, "Uh, oh… Dude, I think it flipped back."

Pucchan said, "It's cool. You only needed to flip it once to deactivate it, and flip it twice to reactivate it."

Mizuki asked, "So, what happens if we flip it, thrice?"

Peter said, "I'm not going in there."

Yagi said, as she pondered, "Could it be that The Gang shut off the device that controls a hive-mind program for the K-850? If so, they prevented Kanade from a repeat of Skynet."

Narue asked, "So, if Akito and Kuon die in Kanade's hands, uh, the K-850's, what happens? Will we see a world, controlled by a robotic utopia, like Skynet?"

Yagi added, "Will it cause chaos and carnage in the AUs, leading to Armageddon, as Tohru Honda wants it?"

Kazuto concluded, "Will it affect my Presidency?"

Julie barked, "I wish I knew, I don't have the slightest idea, if and when, and yes."

Kazuto said, "Shocking. That Terminator Gynoid is going down!"

Yagi said, "But how? This robot is made of the same materials as a T-800."

Steffi said, "Well… Julie, I think I have a clue on what stops Kanade."

Julie asked, "And that is?"

Steffi said, "Well, remember when you told me to deliver those shotguns to Akito? Well, I feared about those robots you brought in, so…"

She said, as she whispered into Julie's ear, "Well, you see…"

Julie barked, as she was mortified, "STEFFI?! WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT?"

Steffi sobbed, "I CAN'T HELP IT! I did see Terminator: Salvation!"

Julie said, "I see. But I think she's onto something. Yes. I think this may be the answer to stopping K-850, once and for all."

Julie snarked at Steffi, "And by the way, that movie sucked."

Yagi stated, "Now, hold on a minute. We're not going to kill her, are we?"

Julie said, "We can't arrest her. You have any other plans?"

Narue shivered, "Ew… I hate guns…"

Yagi said, "Nanase, I'm sorry. But it's the only way. We have to rack up our ammunition for the final battle."

Kazuto cheered, "YAY, FIREARMS!"

Steffi said, "But first, we have to locate Miss K-850's whereabouts. It's not hard to find, since she's a cyborg, parodied out of a Governor sci-fi fic."

Julie said, "Uh, Arnie's an EX-gov."

"I like calling him Governor."

"Point taken, eh."

Yagi said, "One question… Can this K-850 be located easily?"

Julie responded, "Like a tracking device? Oh, there's no need. Scanning a K-850 is easy to spot, using the right tech. Once a K-850 powers down, after being lost, she can spot herself, through a satellite camera, and her location is pinpointed on the monitor. However, since she has no chance of shutting down, because Akito broke up with her, we're going to have to find her location… the hard way."

Narue asked, "And Kuon?"

Julie said, "She's built in the same production, when Kanade abducted her. So finding her is like a needle in a mound of snow in Manitoba."

Yagi remarked, "Or a sweet pickled plum in a thousand-acre pickled pepper patch."

She said, as Narue was confused, "Don't look at me. It's the detective in me. Saunders, hack into her mainframe."

Julie said, "On it!"

She began to hack into the computer, looking for Kanade and Kuon.

Yagi said, "Pray to god we find Akito. HIS life is at stake. Rejection isn't in her circuits; the K-850's, I meant."

Kazuto asked, "Seriously? She hates breakups? Imagine what Narue and I would be like, if she'd break up with me."

Narue laughed, "Not bloody likely."

Down in the middle of nowhere, Kanade was walking down the streets, as she spotted a motorcycle gang. They were wearing black leather vests and denim jeans. One man, who was bald, with a patch for President on his cut, said to her, "Hey, sweetheart. Lost somewhere?"

Kanade asked the man, "President."

Johnny said, "That's President Klebitz to you! What do you want, sweet tits?"

She looked at his motorcycle and said, "Your bike. I want it."

Johnny laughed, "Oh, you want a ride?"

Kanade said, "No. Your bike. I want it. Give me the bike."

Johnny huffed, "What was that?"

She said, as she grabbed his arm, tightly, "Your bike. Hand it over."

Johnny shoved her down, as he barked, "Fuck you, asshole!"

He called his fellow bikers, as they surrounded her. Johnny smirked, "Nowhere to run, lady. NO ONE touches my bike."

Clay said, "You don't mess with the Lost M.C.!"

Kanade stood up and hissed, "You four… Are there others?"

Johnny said, "Jimmy, Clay, Terry… Fix that bitch."

She said, "Wrong."

She held up a shotgun and said, "Die."

Johnny gasped, as he ordered, "KILL HER!"

BANG!
She killed Johnny, as the other bikers held up guns. They fired at her, only the bullets were bounced off her. She snarled, as she fired at Jimmy in the head, shattering his head and neck into bloodied mulch. Clay ran off, frightened, but Kanade blasted his head, clean off. Terry cried, as he was on the ground, horrified, as he crawled down, "WAIT! HERE! Take it!"

He threw her the keys to his bike, as she said, "Thank you."

He ran off, heading to his bike. But Kanade shot Terry in the back, with a shotgun. Terry fell dead, as she said, "Lost. Found dead."

She went on Fitz's bike, as she revved up the motorcycle. She drove off, looking for Akito & Kuon, who is far away.

"Target: Akito Sohma
Subject: K-850's Ex-lover
Vehicle: 1988 SUV; Color: faded tan
Objective: Terminate

Target: Kuon Ginga
Subject: K-850's slave, Akito Sohma's NEW girlfriend, and traitor to the K-850 hive
Objective: Terminate"

It was no joke. Kanade Jinguji wants to kill Akito and Kuon. Her personality was no more. Once, she was a beloved woman, who ran a school, only to maintain a paradise for all the girls… now, under the influence of the late Tohru Honda, is revealed to be a combat android, designed to maintain peace in her school. But everything drastically changed, when her ex-boyfriend, Akito Sohma, severely broke her heart. Her final objective: kill him, and the woman that once sided with her, only to steal Akito away; and even so, Akito's death by Kanade will be payback for Tohru's demise.

The SUV arrived at a small shack, as Kuon asked, "Darling. Where are we?"

Akito said, "A perfect place to lay low, until that psycho of a girlfriend goes away."

Kuon asked, "Didn't you dump her?"

"I did… but I said that, as a literal figure of speech, since she's psychotic."

"What do you do for a living?"

They went inside, as Kuon asked, "Carry me?"

Akito huffed, "We're NOT married."

Kuon pouted, "Phooey… My Love Points are dwindling. Would you please kiss me?"

"Not now. Let's make ourselves at home, until everything is safe."

"I guess you're right. Now that Kanade Jinguji is out of our hair, you're all mine."

"Indeed. I think I made the right choice, after she assaulted me."

Akito went in, as the entire place was built in wood, like it was a farmhouse. Akito said, "It's not comfortable, but it'll do. Want to make yourself at home?"

Kuon giggled, as she went into a bedroom. She said, "No mattress. But on the plus side, we can use that excess hay and make a huge comfy pad, for us to sleep in."

She approached the hay and fluffed it up. She then picked at it and said, "Oh, look. A needle. Ha-ha. Ha-ha. Ha-ha. Ha-ha."

Akito sighed, "I wish she'd stop that laugh, and laugh like a real girl."

He said, "Well, since we're close to a forest, I'm going to hunt for some wild game."

Kuon asked, "Are there wild animals?"

"The usual deer. Do you like venison?"

"Ick! No. I prefer quality beef."

"I see. We can't order out, since Kanade may track us."

Kuon took a shotgun and said, "Allow me to find food."

She walked off, as she went in disguise, changing her hair to black. She winked, "I'll be fine."

Akito said, "Lucky girl. She's so sweet."

He whispered, "Kanade… You love me, but not good enough. Kuon, I love you."

She walked down the forest, as she hunt down for some food.

Kazuto, Yagi, and Narue were arming themselves with powerful weapons, made by Julie's armory. Steffi then said, "I'm coming with you guys. No telling what I'd pack into those firearms."

Julie said, "You stay! You're a liability!"

Steffi barked, "NO! I want to go back… but after what occurred, I don't know anymore! I love this feeling of adventure!"

Julie said, "Seriously?"

"Well, what else? I can always reopen the diner, when I finish up."

Yagi said, "We're armed and dangerous. All we have to do is find Kanade…"

Narue said, "And when we find her, we'll send her cyborg butt back to whatever hell she came from!"

Kazuto smiled, "That's why I love you, Narue."

Narue saluted, "Thanks, President Kazu."

Yagi asked Julie, "Any luck?"

Julie found her location, as it was down in Highway 34, in a rural part of town. Kuon and Akito are located in a dense forest in South City. And Kanade was gaining closer to Kuon's location. Yagi said that they may not be too late.

Julie said, "We won't be too late, for long, eh! Agent Yagi, you take the President and his girlfriend in your car. Steffi, you ride with me."

Steffi asked, "What about Nanaho?"

Julie said, "Leave her. She's safe, as long as K-850's far away. She's only after Kuon… god knows why."

She instructed them, "Steffi and I will take my truck. You guys got that Desoot Relic."

Yagi said, "It's a Desoto Adventurer."

Julie taunted, "Oh, I'm sorry. I thought it was a tattered and mustered Police Cadillac with its roof torn off."

Yagi growled, "Figures you'd make a joke like that."

Julie scoffed, "How is it even still working?"

At the old shack in South City, Kuon was by a campfire, as she was warming up. Akito gave her some soup, as she said, "No, I'm sorry. I'll pass."

"Right. I forgot… Fluids ruin your circuitry…" he said.

He sat by her, as Kuon said, "I wasn't hungry, anyway. Granted, I am hungry, but I don't eat liquids, a lot."

Akito sat down, as he said, "Are you scared?"

Kuon asked, "Huh?"

"Are you scared?"

"No… I'm not so sure. But… somehow my memories that I had were recovering…"

She looked at the fire, as she said, "Sometimes, I do miss life. My life. It's like, I can never be happy without love… and the happiness that goes with it. I mean…"

He held her shoulder and said, "You're gonna be fine."

Kuon asked, "Akito… Sweetie… If Kanade ever find us, what will happen? We will die, right? I can't lose my life, over that heartfelt moment…"

Akito said, "Just be happy you're alive. I know you don't care, seeing all you care for is me, as a boyfriend, but you'll live. It's like what Tohru said… before she turned evil, and made you and Kanade what you are. I wanted you alive, so you can be alive…"

He spoke the exact words that Tohru Honda said to him, long ago. He then concluded, "And even though you're scared, shy, and robotic, I'm happy that you are alive. That is the important thing…"

Kuon blushed, as she whispered, "Akito…"

She hugged him, as he held her face. Kuon closed her eyes and said, "Akito… I love you…"

Akito said, "And I you."

They relaxed by the fire, as they fell asleep together.

XXXXX

Meanwhile, down the road of the highway, Kanade was riding down, on one of the stolen Lost M.C. motorcycles she commandeered. She then said, as she hunted down Kuon. She suddenly beeped, "Kuon Ginga… Locked on target… I see her…"

She said, "Hundreds of miles? No. Faster I go, the more sooner I kill that traitor… and that womanizer…"

She continued to head off to their location – South City.

XXXXX

Back in South City, Kuon was by Akito's body, as they were sleeping together, by the tree. The fire went out, as Kuon started to beep and buzz. She then started to recover her memories… fully and slowly.

The last thing she remembered, as she viewed in her perspective, was that she survived a freak accident by Kanade Jinguji. Weeks later, Kuon was relaxing in her room, as she was visited by Kanade Jinguji, who offered her a drink of punch. They shared a glass, as Kuon started to feel weak. Her eyes faded, as her sight was blurry and distorted. Kanade smiled in a light malice grin, as Kuon was drugged.

Moments later, her sight was restored, as it was beeping profusely. Kuon looked around and saw Nanaho Kinjo, on a table, strapped down, and was unconscious, with ether in her. Kuon gasped, as a figure went closer to her. It was Kanade, in a nurse's outfit, lightly covered in blood. She spoke in a muffled sound, as Kuon was trying to speak. She couldn't move, as she was scared. Kanade went closer and smirked. She then said, as she was smiling, "This time… You cannot escape me. We obey only our dark forces… and Kuon… soon, it'll all be but a vast memory."

After that, Kanade turned Kuon off, as her eyesight went black. Kanade's voice muffled, as her final words to her was "You won't abandon me, again… and all of my friends won't leave me, again…"

After that, Kuon was never the same… as she was a puppet to Kanade Jinguji's control, until she was saved.

Hours later, Akito heard some sobbing, as he woke up. Kuon was in front of him, as she was bawling on his chest. He asked her what was wrong. She couldn't talk, because she was crying. Her memories had returned, but it seemed that she was torn by the transformation of herself.

"Kuon? Kuon, what's wrong?"

She wept, as she suddenly spoke, "I wanna live… I wanna live… I don't want to be…"

She blubbered, as she was crying. She looked at Akito, as she whispered, "Akito… I'm afraid to die…"

"What?" Akito asked, "What are you-?"

Kuon punched his chest, weakly, as she wailed, "I wanna live! I wanna live! I WANT TO LIVE!"

She hollered, "I WANNA LIIIIIIIIIIIIIIVE!"

She cried on his chest, as she whispered, "No… No, no… I wanna live… Please, help me… … …Save me… I want to live… Please help me…"

Akito wiped her tears, as he said, "Kuon…"

Kuon whispered, "Please… save me…"

They both kissed each other, as they started to caress each other. Kuon removed Akito's shirt, as he removed her skirt. Even in nighttime, they made love, in the great outdoors, not having a care in the world, except that Kanade Jinguji, the K-850 that is closing in on her, is about to kill them. And not far behind was Kazuto, Yagi, & Narue, riding in the Desoto, following Julie and Steffi, who are riding in Julie's red pickup truck. Julie was driving, as she said, "I can sense Kuon's body heat from in South City. And I fear the worst…"

Steffi asked, "Why do you ask?"

Julie replied, "Her heat is growing a bit…"

Steffi asked, "I don't think she has a fever… I mean, she's a robot."

Julie responded, "She might be overheating… I'll bet, eh."

Steffi asked, "Does K-850 know of her body heat?"

"Obviously. She can detect thermal heating; even from her own fugitive drone."

"I just hope we're not too late…"

They continued to drive, as Kazuto said, "Once we find that bitch, I call dibs on her chest. She doesn't need those huge knockers."

Narue said, "I got her legs."

Kazuto smiled, "Oh, Narue…"

Yagi sighed, "I like it better when it's just you and me, Iizuka."

Kazuto said, "Don't worry. Once we get to K-850, we'll Hasta la Vista her into the junkyard."

Yagi nodded, "Oh, yes. This time, it's personal. We're going to destroy that thing and save Kuon and Akito."

Narue whispered, "If Kuon dies, I'll avenge her fallen comrades!"

Kazuto sighed, "Yeah. Listen, when this is over, don't you have another promotional video to perform?"

Narue said, "My agent said that it's until Tuesday."

"And what day is it?"

"Friday. I got time."

"Great… the one Friday Night I have planned, and I wasted it on a mission."

"Oh, Kazu. We have time, until I leave. You can show me the Oval Office, during our date…"

"Uh, sounds fair. But I'll see if Agent Superball will give you clearance."

She smiled and giggled. But then said, as she thought, "Ohhhhhhh… Superball. I get it. No, wait…"

Kazuto said, "Secret Service humor. He's also a bouncer. Why do you think he guards doors?"

Narue said, "I knew that."

Both the truck and car drove off, heading to South City, as Narue felt worried, knowing that she's returning to the city that Rachel Moore was in. Of course, she and Rachel have a secret, in which Narue refuses to mention, since she still has Ran Moore's winking face tattoo on her breast.

Kazuto asked, "Hey, Narue, why the tattoo on your breasts?"

Narue asked, "Oh, this? Oh… I met with Rachel's android, Ran Moore, and she gave me this, as an ink job. She loves to show off."

She thought, "Thank goodness. I thought he'd know."

Yagi said, "Well, it's a bitch that we're going back to South City. But we're lucky that we're going to the forest area, and not the city suburbia."

She then thought, "And since when did Narue get a tat on her tit?"

Julie left the intersection and said, "Guys, this is the closest exit to get to South City. Follow me!"

The pickup truck left to the exit, as does the Desoto. The final showdown between Man vs. Machine was about to begin, as Kanade and our heroes are neck and neck. While Akito & Kuon were having their moment… but will it be too late?

To be continued…
