That same day, after Mio killed Yuno, at a fast food place, Anode and Cathode were having lunch with Ginti. He was having a salad, as Anode was having onion skewers and Cathode was having sushi.

"Call me nuts, but I don't care about bad breath from onions." Anode said, "Garlic, I'll never understand…"

Ginti sighed in anger, as Cathode said, "You're acting meaner than normal. We're just a little surprised as you, knowing that there is a Power Core and a Ty Gem. But imagine if I had that beautiful gem."

He said, "It's not that. But… I'm worried."

Anode giggled, "Aw, he's still upset over his new girlfriend, Otome~!"

She nudged at him with her elbow and laughed, "Am I right? You are focused on what went wrong, you're worried about your girlfriend!"

Cathode barked, "Sis, that is impossible, because Otome is dead!"

Anode pouted, as she huffed, "I meant the other girl that resembles her."

He said in a groan, "Look, are you done acting like babies? I'm thinking about the woman that stolen the Ty Gem. Her sounded familiar… but I can't remember… It's like… We've known this, before…"

Cathode replied, "I'm pretty sure it's nothing. The voice is recognizable, but it doesn't matter. She's a vampire. And she said she wanted a Power Core… only to take the Ty Gem. And yes, we're sworn to keep it a secret. But it's rather odd…"

Anode asked, "Odd?"

Cathode replied, "This woman… She wanted the gem for something… Was she meant to get the red gem?"

Anode added, "Nah, she would be easily toast. Sadly, I'm surprised that she was still in the building, after she took it, too… with a mysterious power of camouflage."

She then said to Ginti, "That's what they do in the movies, sometimes."

Ginti said, "Well, we're glad it's only a vampire… We're more glad that it's not her…"

Cathode said, "I'll eat to that~!"

They continued to have lunch, as Ginti was still unsure on who the voice of the vampire belongs to.


Hours later, near the Ty Ko Ky building, Saya, dressed in a black school uniform, and with her hair done in two low ponytails, was across the street. She was armed with a sword and whispered, "The Power Core…"

Mio's voice spoke, "I want you to find information on the gem that Yuno gave me. This building… as I slumber, is traversed from her, as Yuno sensed, from inside her pink gem. Kill anybody in your way, if you have to… and make them bleed. BUT! Do not kill the people who know the source and secrets of this purple gem! No… … …Not yet…"

Saya nodded, and said nothing. She walked to the building, and then was coated in black shadows. She stepped into the building and was completely invisible to the public. As she was walking, she read through the directory on the desk. She found the room to the laboratory and took the elevator there, without being caught.

She arrived at the lab and searched in the table. Saya found the documents that Vega had recorded, for information on the Fuji Gems and Jewel Women. She regained her visibility and put the documents in her uniform. She said, "No one. Must know. Where is. Power Core?"

She searched the lab and couldn't find the gem. She turned around, as Miyu appeared before Saya.

"Going somewhere, intruder?" She asked her.

Saya's eyes went red, snarling, showing her fangs. Miyu said, "I don't need to ask. You're a vampire. It's no joke."

She held up her dagger and said, "How dare you invade Ty Ko Ky Labs, you demon from Hell?"

Saya roared in a demonic cry, as the lights exploded from the room. Saya held her sword up, as Miyu thought, "I see… So this is possibly the woman that stole the Ty Gem, last night… Her hair matches, but the rest, I don't know…"

Miyu asked, "I like to know who you are, vampire! What is your name, and who do you work for?"

Saya snarled, as she pointed at her, "The gem… The purple gem… What is… purple gem…"

Miyu thought, as she was shaken, "Weird… She's like a zombie… But… No… She's in cahoots with the other girl that took the Ty Gem! She is their leader!"

She held her dagger up, as Saya drew her sword. They stared down and prepared to fight. Miyu roared, "Leave this place, you twisted fiend!"

Saya roared, and charged at Miyu, with her sword. They clash, as Miyu pushed Saya away, avoiding each strike. Her aura shone purple and boomed, "Falter!"

She shot a laser at Saya, from her dagger, as Saya avoided it. She spoke, "Child's play."

She slashed at her hands, but Miyu avoided the slice, and kicked her in the ribs. Miyu thought, "So, she plans to disarm me, does she? Her energy is high, and her vital points are weak, but she's still predictable."

She held her hand up and chant in tongue. She thought, "But still, there's one way to kill a vampire…"

She produced a dark fire spell, and surrounded Saya in a ring of flames. Miyu said, "Even if you try to escape, my embers will burn you ablaze. Now, I believe that you have lots to talk about, once I report this to Lady Vega…"

Saya snarled, "Vega…"

She asked, "Vega… She took… Power Core?"

Miyu asked, "Huh?"

"Power Core… She took… Power Core…"

Miyu replied, "Yes… The red gem from Mount Fuji, you speak of… Our excavation team was discovering the mysteries behind the volcano, and learned of what was inside, according to one of our Ty Ko Ky agents. However, we had more information from her friends…"

She gasped, as Saya held up the documents of the Fuji Gem, "No one… Must… ever know…"

She set the documents ablaze, from Miyu's ring of fire, as Miyu cried, "MADNESS! YOU… YOU MONSTER!"

Saya grinned, as the documents were caught on fire. Miyu growled, "A whole day's work… ruined! What are you, you monster?"

Saya smirked, removing her blazer, showing her bare upper body, as her long black hair covers her breasts. Above her breasts is a blood red gem on her chest. Miyu gasped, "Huh? That is…"

Saya smiled, as she tilted her head to the right, "Fuji… Gem…"

Miyu said, "I can see what you are now, but it's too late! You have burned away the only documents of the Fuji Gems, but you're going to die!"

Saya swung her blade and extinguished the fires around her. The documents remained on the floor, half-destroyed. Saya whispered, "Die…"

Miyu gasped, as Saya struck her blade onto her waist. Miyu screamed in pain, as she tried to retaliate. She swung her dagger and shot a laser from it, but Saya easily avoided it and hissed, "You're too weak!"

She slammed her into a wall, and swatted the dagger off her hands. Saya snarled, as she leaned towards a prone Miyu. She hissed, "Purple gem… Give me… the information… on the purple gem…"

Miyu growled, "Never!"

She kicked her off, and picked up her dagger. Saya held her sword and swung towards her. Miyu ducked and landed a swift boot to the stomach and a knee to her chin. Saya was in pain, but was still standing. Miyu whispered, "How… can this be? I'm beating her, but she's still standing! This… The gem on her chest… her bare pale skin… her red demonic eyes… the vampire fangs… That's a Jewel Woman!"

Miyu lunged at Saya, striking into her chest. Saya hissed, as she moaned, "Come… get me…"

Miyu swiped down with a left kick to the skull. But Saya's head was recovering from the blow. Miyu whispered, "No… She can regenerate?"

Her red gem shone, and Saya said, "Die…"

Miyu's aura grew, as she whispered, "The gem! It has to be its weakness!"

She ran towards her, and avoided each strike. She aimed her dagger at the gem and fired a laser into the gem. But the laser suddenly bounced off the gem. She gasped, "What? It didn't work?"

Saya laughed, "Gotcha…"

SLASH!
Saya slashed the arm, dropping the dagger, and breaking her arm. Miyu screamed in pain and groaned, "Damn you…"

Saya held her down and moaned, "Show me… the purple gem… OR ELSE!"

Miyu groaned, "You… can't win…"

She kicked her off, again, but Saya caught her leg. She rammed her elbow onto the leg, and broke her leg. Miyu screamed in pain, as Saya cackled, clasping her neck, "THE GEM! Give me… THE INFORMATION!"

Mio's voice called, "That is not the way… Saya Kisaragi… She'll say no, if you injure her, completely…"

Saya whispered, "No… Hurt you… I do not wish…"

Miyu tried to break free, as Saya's grip was tight. Saya nodded and said, "I understand…"

Miyu moaned, "Let me go…"

Saya said, "You won't tell me… about the purple gem… I'll make you talk… Look into my eyes…"

Her red hostile eyes brimmed in a pulsing aura. Miyu was being hypnotized by the evil eyes. Miyu's arms dropped and moaned, "Yes… My master…"

Saya asked, "Where… is the Power Core?"

Miyu said, "I… I can't…"

Saya's eyes lit up and snarled. Mio spoke from inside her, "Saya! That is too simple! Tell her about the gem that Yuno took for me… That's all! Do not be greedy!"

Saya said, "Yes, master…"

She stared at a hypnotized Miyu, and then said, "The purple gem… Give me the purple gem…"

Miyu responded, without hesitation, "The Ty Gem… is all-powerful… It has unlimited power… and abilities…"

Saya hissed, "Ty Gem… What is this gem? What else does it do?"

Miyu replied, "The Ty Gem… We have sworn… a secret… to protect… its powers… The Ty Gem… cannot fall into wrong hands…"

Saya asked, "And it's stolen?"

"Yes…"

Saya grinned, "Thank you, my dear… For now… You shall be one of us… Unless you give us more details…"

Miyu responded, "I cannot… give you… more… I am sworn… to a secret… about the Ty Gem…"

Saya hissed, "Fine… You're one of us now, slave…"

She opened her mouth and lunged her fangs into her neck.

"SAYA KISARAGI! STAND DOWN!" Mio's voice called, before Saya could land her teeth into Miyu's veins, "She gave you little information… I want ALL of it! I said that she is to be alive, fool!"

Saya growled, as she moved away, leaving only a small teeth mark on her neck. She hissed, "The purple gem… She told me nothing…"

Mio boomed, "Never mind that. Report back to me what you are given. Let the woman live… for now…"

Saya bowed her head and said, "Understood…"

She grabbed Miyu by the clothes and threw her out of a window. She was smashed through the glass and fell two-stories to the ground. Saya emerged from the window, and fled back to Mount Fuji. As Miyu was lying unconscious, a woman's scream was made.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!"

It was Anode's. She and Cathode saw Miyu plummet to two-stories down. A female Ty Ko Ky agent crawled to her, as Miyu was out cold. Anode gasped, "No… Lady Miyu?"

The agent said, "Stay back! Lady Miyu is wounded!"

They stepped back, as Cathode said, looking at Miyu's neck, "Sis… Look at her neck!"

Cathode shows the two vampire fang marks on Miyu's neck. Luckily, Saya never went through, so it was a small prick. The agent waved her hand to her neck, and healed the bite marks. She carried Miyu in her arms and said, "You two, call Lady Vega!"

Anode said, "Right!"

They raced off to call Vega, as the agent carried a badly injured Miyu inside the building.

XXXXX

Moments later, Miyu was lying in bed, treated by a few doctors. Her right arm was broken, the side of her hip showing a nasty gash, and her right leg was dislocated. Miyu was out cold, as she was in a breathing apparatus, being nursed by her serious injuries. Anode and Cathode were sitting beside her, as they were stunned.

"I can't believe that this happened…" Anode whispered."

Cathode said, "It was a brutal fall… We're just glad she's okay…"

"For now, at least… A two-story drop… that's fatal!"

"I know… But don't feel too bad about it…"

The doctor said, "Excuse me, ladies… but if you don't mind, please be quiet, while we tend to her injuries."

Cathode asked, "Doctor. How serious is she?"

The doctor explained, "Well, she's barely holding on, but we see that she broke her arm, and then a huge cut on her hip, followed by a dislocated right leg, broken in three places…"

Anode whispered, "Cathode… You don't think…"

Cathode replied, "The marks that were healed on her neck… It might be…"

Anode hugged Cathode, as Vega appeared, seeing a badly hurt Miyu. She said, as she leaned to her, "Miyu… What happened?"

Miyu was coming to, as Anode whispered, "Great… She's alive…"

Miyu coughed, as she was hurt, "Ungh… Lady… Vega…"

She coughed, as she held Vega's hand, "A… woman… stole the… Ty Gem…"

Vega asked, "What did she look like?"

Miyu replied, "I… don't remember… But… I remember she stripped her clothes… and showed… a red gem… darker than the one we have… Black hair… hostile eyes… glasses… and a sword…"

She passed out and collapsed. Anode shivered, "A gem… on her… OH, NO!"

Cathode whispered, "A Jewel Woman! It can't be!"

Vega said, as she consoled Miyu, "It's okay… You get some rest. What happened with the Ty Gem, we now know what is going on…"

Vega said to the girls, "Inform Tohka and Ginti. They need to know what happened."

Cathode said, "Yes."

They ran off, as Anode thought, "SHIT! I thought for sure we'd be rid of this KEION Bu Nightmare… but now it's arisen, again…"

They left the headquarters to find Tohka and Ginti, to tell them the horrible news.


Inside Mio's tomb, Saya told her master everything, as Mio prepared stone figures in the room. They were sculpted into two of his well-known slaves: Sonia Strumm and Geo Stelar.

Mio said, as she finished, "I see… A gem with unlimited power, and can never break… This gem is useful to me… this… Ty Gem, you call it?"

Saya kneeled to her, with nothing on, "Master… It was found in the labs, far away. I only obtained much information, but I need more time."

Mio said, "No matter. Perhaps I can manipulate this power. Whoever's race this belongs to, I do not mind using this gem, for my own evil deed. I can feel the power surging into me."

Saya suggested, "May I suggest that you use it as your battery? Your new Power Core."

Mio looked at the gem and replied, "No… I have better plans. Besides, I don't think it can fit my chest, to procure more power within me. If I were to harness this power, and learn of what's inside it, I can control this power, and use it to control its minions, from the inside."

"What if they know it's you?"

"They won't. They will think it's more of a phantom that did this… More of a curse, since they are powerless without it. O Ty Gem, you and I are going to make magic, together… Once I use my powers to crack the code, your unbreakable shell outside will serve me, as I take your endless supply, forever… And I may live… in a perfect eternal life… Whatever is inside, I will harness it into my own… I was once human, now of a perfect vessel… but not enough! I want this power… and this Ty Gem is mine… MINE! MIIIIIIIIIIIIIINE! AHHHHHHH, HA, HA, HA, HA, HA, HA, HA, HA, HA!"

Saya bowed, as she said, "Lord Mio… I apologize for not controlling myself, when I want the woman's blood… I lost myself, since I want to taste her blood. I would make her our slave, and she would tell us everything."

Mio stated, "And why would we do that? Then, they would look for her… and find me from within. That would be too easy, would it, Kisaragi? Even if they knew, they cannot find me; not even these humans. I will handle my personal business, alone… while with the Ty Gem. You, however, rest up. Tomorrow, I want you to find another who knows the Ty Gem… And if he or she doesn't cooperate…"

She made a throat slit gesture and grinned evilly. Saya nodded and said, "Yes, master…"

Saya departed into the darkness, to slumber, as Mio held the Ty Gem near her bosom. She whispered, "More power… I want this power… Once I learn more… All I needed… Then, my perfect world… … …shall be realized…"

She cackled, as the lights went out, "And all will kneel… before Mio… MWAH, HA, HA, HA, HA, HA, HA, HA, HA!"
