Kazuki narrated, as he was sitting in his desk, before class starts, "It's been two days now, and so far, Enju hasn't returned. Please tell me this is not a repeat of Tengge's kidnapping, back then. She and Yamabuki, they were absent, since last week. I'm starting to grow worried. I have my shaking suspicions about them, including Amarao, Kitsurubami, and Ayame Kajou. All of them were a part of our problem, since they arrived. It started with Kitsurubami attending school, only to realize that her commander was being used."
He was dejected, as Johnny smiled, "Hey."
"Oh, Johnny. You came?" Kazuki asked.
Johnny said, "I did. I felt upset about Kitsuki… I visited her, last night. And… She's not doing so well."
Kazuki sighed and said, "Yeah."
"Dude, why are you down?"
"Enju… She's gone. She hasn't returned, since the other day."
"NANI? How?"
"Well… It started with our trip to the lab, and-."
Suddenly, a voice called, "KAZUKI! You hentai!"
It was Nanao, as she called to him in anger, "I'm sick of your excuses, Kazuki Araya!"
Kazuki asked, "Nanao? Why are you angry?"
Nanao shouted, "Shut it! I'm done listening to you, you perverted jerk! Hentai! Super ultra hentai! Uh… Mega ultra super hyper golden hentai! Prepare yourself! LIGHTNING!"
She imitated lightning, as she shouted, "PSHOOOM! BOOM! KAKOW! Uh… TICAW! TICAW!"
Kazuki thought, "Now that's just sad…"
Johnny asked, "Eh? Why are you acting like… uh? Who are you again?"
Nanao's hair was almost like Enju's, as she said, "I'm the New Enju! Hentai!"
Johnny bawled, "WHY?"
Kazuki barked, "Enough! You're NOT Enju! You're Nanao! Why are you acting like Enju?"
Nanao explained, "Sorry… But Miss Kikuko said that I have to fill the void of Enju and Yamabuki…"
He gasped, "You-? The Hag made you act like her?"
He thought, "You know, that's a clever thought… Except, one problem…"
He explained, "Well, that's a thought, but you're not a ninja."
Nanao sighed, "I know… And I worked so hard to act like Enju, and even shout out my lightning attacks. Plus, being you're the resident hentai, Enju's like a robot, shouting "hentai", like she's a machine, calling to search and destroy. You know how it is… But Miss Kikuko said that I need to start learning how to be a ninja. I told her I'm not into that."
He thought, "And yet, The Hag knows how to make her act ninja-like…"
He said, "I'm going to have a word with her, about this transformation."
Nanao barked, "Watch it, you hentai! You better think of a good excuse!"
Johnny gasped, "Whoa! Enju, nice hairstyle!"
Kazuki huffed, "Idiot."
That afternoon, Kazuki and Nanao meet at the secret room of Kikuko Hattori, Kazuki's master. She was a child-like woman with long gray hair and a black eyepatch, wearing a white school uniform. She huffed, as she explained, "It's thanks to Enju, she scampered off and leave me to man the ship in Student Council! Tengge would've offered help, but lass wasn't that anxious…"
He sighed, "Okay… Why Nanao?"
She explained, "I'm sorry, lad. But I had to fill the void of what Enju is doing. Plus, Zina and Lily told me about your adventure, a while back. So… Yamabuki was kidnapped, while two military specialists were used by a mysterious lady, in which the guy with NO eyebrows… says that she's a viper. And her flunky, a Meta-Human researcher, who is also a sex-crazed android, works in a Meta Lab, creating these microchips."
She held up a chip and said, "Like this one here."
Kazuki gasped, "WHAT THE-?"
Nanao said, "Don't panic! Zina managed to repair and rebuild Myu's chip, after she removed it. She and Cy did the rest, and I helped."
He cried, "HAG! Why do you have this mind-control chip in your possession?"
Kikuko explained, "To assist you, lad! Are you daft that you do not understand what goes on? It's very simple. We install the chip into Nanao's neck, then we make her controlled by us. After which, she will succumb to the chip and tell the truth about the source that we are able to pinpoint, and destroy it."
Kazuki said, "It's the Meta-Lab, far from here. We were there, the other day."
Kikuko hazed, "Moron! For all we know that Yamabuki and Enju are somewhere in another lab, buried in secrecy! Why do you think these blasted chips are for mind-control, and not for dip?"
He narrated, "Well, she has a point. But if we're able to use the chip, we should find out where Yamabuki is. Of course, Enju's another story. Could she be fallen victim to the same stunt? I can trust the Old Hag… well, for now…"
Kazuki said, "Fine. You win. But make sure that she is controlled, and never say no to our commands."
Nanao cried, "Aw, now you're making me feel like a character in an RPG Dating Sim game! You're sick!"
Kikuko said, "I already have her role jotted down. She agreed to go by the alias, as she will be our ninja for the day."
She thought, "But I am unsure about this, since this Nanao lass seems off…"
Nanao smirked, "You'll see. You're about to see New Enju in action!"
Kikuko placed the chip on her neck and said, "Now… All that's left is to make it so. Lad, would you do the honors?"
Kazuki said, "Right… Uh… Nanao! Activate!"
Nanao's eyes went blank, as her eyes shone dimmed. She stood straight and said, "Hello, master. My name is Nanao Kashiwa. How may I serve you today?"
Kikuko was befuddled and in worry, "That name. Kashiwa… Kashiwa…"
"Penny for your thoughts, Hag?"
"Oh, nothing, lad. Just carry on."
Kazuki thought, as Nanao remained in his presence, as his slave, "What am I gonna do? This chip. We are one step closer into finding Enju and Yamabuki. But I hope they're safe. Our only best bet is to use Nanao, as our pseudo-ninja. Granted that she's not a ninja, but…"
Kazuki smiled, "Well, she may not be a ninja, but she can be affordable for intel."
Kikuko whispered, as she looked away, "Don't be so sure, lad."
Kazuki then turned to Nanao, as she bowed at him. She said, "Master, what is it that you'd like me to ask?"
He gulped and then nervously said, "I'd like to ask you a question… about the chip you possess."
Nanao asked, "What about it? Isn't it lovely?"
She explained, "As you can guess, I am built with an O.B. Chip, a chip that gives 100% servitude for the owner. I am at your every command."
Kazuki asked, "O.B. Chip? Sounds like a bad potato chip recipe."
Nanao explained, "It stands for Obedience Chip. It can control anybody, no matter what situation they are in. Once lodged into a mechanical human, or otherwise, the subject is controlled by the person who first presents the chip to her. Once the chip is in place, on a body part, it will never come off, unless the chip disables the process. Once it does, the effects become null, but only by the person who recently controls her. In short, the O.B. is connected to me, as it is active."
Kazuki whispered, "So, tell me… Who created the O.B. Chip?"
Nanao replied, "I apologize, Master, but that information is classified. I refuse to reveal the creation of the O.B. Chip, in front of my master or his sister."
Kikuko roared, "SISTER?!"
He shushed her, "QUIET, uh, Onee-chan."
He whispered to her, "Play along, Hag. She thinks you're just a child, in which you're not."
Kikuko barked, "How dare you! I'm a lovely loli, and proud of it!"
"Oh, you're not even pushing 90!"
"You want a piece of me, you brat?"
"Bring it, hag!"
Nanao pleaded, "Master, Master's sister, please stop fighting!"
Kikuko said, "Look, Miss Kashiwa – *shudder* that name… – Look, for my brother's sake, please tell us who created the chip, so we can help? Our friends are in danger… and my brother needs to save them!"
She hugged Kazuki, as he muttered in disgust, "This is embarrassing…"
Nanao nodded, as she said, "I understand. I do believe that the chip I hold has answers. Yes, I will explain. The O.B. Chip was originally a device made for a robot girl named Chachamaru. The chip is created by Satomi Hakase and Lingshen Chao, students from an all-girls' school called Mahora Academy. The chip is considered to be officially untested. However, according to intel from a previous reports, a woman named Makie Sasaki stole the chip and used it for evil purposes. Her evil ways are classified, by the way. However, once she tested it on one Konoka Konoe, she mass-produced the chip, and her evil plan was one thing: rule the entire school, under her iron fist and praise of being a success at being Makie. Stupid, I know. But she was brought to the point of rage and conquest, because she was called a failure with no drive. I shall demonstrate."
She pointed at Kikuko, "Miss Kikuko, everything about you as head of Student Council is faulty! You never do work, you play video games, you act like an otaku, and you always treat Master wrong! You are no good!"
Kikuko gasped, "OI! You're saying I am a lazy woman?"
Nanao boomed, "I'm saying that YOU are a failure! YES! YOU FAILED AT BEING KIKUKO!"
Kikuko's jaw dropped, as she was crushed, "Crushed!"
She was pale white, as Kazuki said, "Wow… That mean, huh?"
Nanao said, "End demonstration. Master, Makie Sasaki was a nice girl, though aloof and airheaded, but that kind of bullying drove her to revenge, leading to the O.B. Chips she helped mass produced, using the creators of said chip to be under her thrall, and controlled her class of 27 of 31 girls."
Kazuki stammered, "Thirty-one girls?! Wow… That includes her, this Makie?"
Nanao responded, "Correct. Makie Sasaki was the puppet master… and all of her students would be her puppets. The one target that she was ridiculed and teased at, for being a failure at being Makie… was Ayaka Yukihiro, a class representative of 3-A."
He whispered, "Whoa… One girl, uses the chip, all because she reached her breaking point on another…"
He complained, "That's so stupid!"
Kikuko moaned, "I'm a failure at Kikuko… I'm a failure at me…"
Kazuki said, "Uh-oh… I think the Hag is broken…"
Nanao smiled, "She'll come around. Now, anymore you'd like to ask me, Master?"
Kazuki asked, "Well, I have one thing, since the knowledge inside the chip makes you obedient and useful. But for my, uh, sister, would you tell us more? Like, why use the chip for Commander Amarao?"
Nanao replied, "Hmm… I do not know…"
Kazuki said, "Okay, how about this?"
He narrated, as he was nervous, "Crap, what do I ask her? The Hag's no help, since she's been crushed, and I'm stuck trying to think of any leads on what the chip also does. Nanao… She's… I have to ask her that important question."
He then asked her, "Tell me, Nanao… Do you know where Makie is now?"
Nanao replied, "She's dead."
Kazuki gasped, "WHAAAAAAAAAAAA? She's dead? Then… How is that possible, creating O.B. CHIPS?"
Nanao explained, "The chips sense something about the creator that rebuilt this chip for me, Master. A Doctor Kajou made it for me."
Kazuki said, "Of course. She's an android, called an A.I. Auto-Mecha Erotica, or something. She goes by another, an alias, A.I. Automated Meta Engineer. Is she involved in this?"
Nanao was worried, "I do not know, Master…"
Kikuko remains crushed, as Kazuki narrated, "Great… Even for a slave, she had no idea. And the hag's no help, after she got what she deserved. Maybe I should've cut to the chase, soon enough…"
Nanao giggled, "Enough of the sad stories, why, how about asking me about myself, Master? My boobs are awesome!"
Kazuki gasped, "Eh?"
She smiled, "They're so big! How about a touch, Master?"
Kazuki thought, "Uh-oh… Would I? No… Enju's not here, but… Ugh… I can't miss that opportunity… even if it is Nanao."
She grabbed his wrist and placed his left hand onto her soft bosom. Nanao moaned in happiness, as she said, "Beautiful… You know how big they are, right?"
Kazuki thought, "Okay. That's not normal! The real Nanao would be insecure about her breasts, despite that they are glorious. Sadly, she never admits it."
Kazuki tried to say something, but Nanao hugged him into her soft chest. He thought, "URK! Even better… or worse, depending on your point of view… Her chest is a huge marshmallow pillow. So, why am I submitting to my own slave? Isn't she the one that takes orders from me? The hag placed the chip onto her, in the first place. And she…"
Kikuko sobbed, "Failed at Kikuko… Failed at me…"
He narrated, completely enraged, "SHE'S OF NO HELP, AT ALL!"
Meanwhile, at the club room, the remaining members of the Ninja Seeking Club were a bit worried. A hush fell to the entire room, until Johnny spoke.
"I, uh… I visited Kitsuki, last night." He said.
Lily nodded, "We know. We're just happy that she pulled through."
Akari moaned, "Johnny, I'm sorry Cy and I hid this from you. We thought she was dead."
Johnny smiled, "That's okay. You guys did save her life."
Cy asked, "You're not mad, Zonny?"
He grinned, "Oh, hell no! Not the first time you guys hid something from me!"
Akari smiled, as she was relieved, "Thank goodness…"
Myu asked, "Hey, where did Kazuki-senpai go?"
Ricka said, "Master's room."
Lily replied, "She's with Miss Kikuko and Nanao, in the secret room."
Myu asked, "EH? Why?"
Fuu said, "Isn't it obvious? The Student Council lady is setting them up on a date!"
Myu gasped in horror, "HAU?"
Ricka cried, "DIRTY!"
A pause was made, as normally this is where Enju chimes in… and sometimes Yamabuki… but…
Ricka sobbed, "Not the same."
Lily said, "It's nothing that lewd! Miss Kikuko managed to get one of the microchips that Zina restored, and she plans to use it on Nanao. Even more, it's enough to cooperate with the user, just to learn more about Dr. Kajou, her lab, the chips, and the whereabouts of Yamabuki and Enju."
Tengge said, "Oh… I wished I had a chip in my neck, and I would be Kazuki's slave."
Lily stated, "Sorry, but Miss Kikuko said that it has to be from a non-ninja, or a layperson. And Nanao, well, we don't know much about her, knowing that she's normal."
Akari barked, "She's a geek! And an otaku!"
Tengge asked, "Huh… So, why on a norm, and not on a ninja?"
Lily stated, "That I do not know. Normal people would be controlled fully, without any thought whatsoever, when used by the chip. But how ninjas are controlled by it, it's all a mystery…"
Akari said, "Hmm… I wonder if Nanao remembers everything, during this demonstration."
Lily said, "Doubt it. Remember a while back with Sonic Brainwashing? Nanao was a victim to it, and we all thought she was the enemy."
Akari asked, "Huh… Did anyone know who caused the entire Sonic Brainwashing incident? I mean, it was fakes of the Principal and Kikuko… but…"
Tengge replied, "Well, that's left unknown. It does remain a mystery."
Myu replied, "I'm just glad we won't have that, anymore."
Ricka blushed, "Too embarrassed."
Lily said, "For now, we can trust Kazuki, since he and Kikuko knows something about what goes on in the Meta Labs."
Johnny replied, "Yeah. Hopefully, they will save Kitsuki. It was awful for this eyebrow guy to kill her, only because he was controlled. And we were foolish to leave Yamabuki behind."
Lily said, "Yeah…"
Everyone in the club room were worried over Enju & Yamabuki, and the events that happened, during Kitsurubami's first visit to the school.
Nanao, meanwhile, was holding Kazuki tight, deep into her bosom. He gagged, as he freed himself. He thought, "God! That was horrible! No, scratch that! That was the longest that I ever experienced! I am in heaven…"
Nanao asked, "Master? Are you okay?"
Kazuki said, "I'm fine. But can we do this later? There's more I want to ask, about our friends. See, the doctor that created your chip, she could be related to the incident involving Amarao and Kitsuru-."
Nanao stated, "Say no more! That part was Makie's fault! How she came to pass, we do not know… Suffice to say that she was alive… only her aura was wicked and cruel, like something from the underworld…"
"Uh, she's dead."
"I know. But how she returned, when her devilish aura came into it… It feels… like heaven… I feel so dirty…"
He narrated, "Uh-oh. If that's what I think it is…"
She blushed, as she smiled, "It's okay, master… I will protect you… Your friends are somewhere. And I hope we find them… as long as they do not become like me."
She then asked, as she was blushing beet red, "Now, is there anything for me to do know?"
"Lost in thought, I had to resist. But… Wait a minute… As long as they do not become-."
He roared, "Nanao, deactivate!"
She stopped, and collapsed onto Kazuki, like a rag doll, with her huge breasts plopping onto his chest, on the floor. He groaned, "Ouch… But yet, it feels so serene. Oh, crap! I forgot how to deactivate her slave program. If I wake her up again, she'd become my helpless slave again. Damn it, why can't anyone drop me a tip?"
Kikuko sobbed, still crushed, "Failed at Kikuko… Failed at me…"
Kazuki roared at his former master, "And YOU are indeed a failure at being Kikuko Hattori, you hag!"
Kikuko bawled, still crushed, "I'm a hag? CRUSHED!"
He sighed, "I wonder why I never thought of that, in the first place. Still, I'm relieved that the hag got what's coming to her, but…"
Just then, Myu appeared and called, "Senpai! Lily-senpai had an idea! We thin-, HAU?"
Kazuki groaned, "Myu, it's not what you think. I deactivated her O.B. Chip, and she collapsed onto me… like the Walls of Jericho collapsed all over me."
Ricka and the others saw it, as Ricka blushed, "Filthy pig."
Lily stated, as she was hurt, "So much tightness…"
She calmed down and said, "Well, if you're done being a hentai puppet master to Nanao, we need to know what you got!"
Kazuki said, "Okay. But first, get me out of here! And also, do something about Nanao?"
Ricka huffed, "Leave her. Like a doll."
Cy responded, "The chip is able to halt her movements, but she is still alive and breathing."
Lily said, "That'll be for later, when we get back. We're going to the source… The Meta Labs!"
Tengge and Myu pulled him out, and placed Nanao in a seated position. Lily said, "Good. Now suit up and get going!"
Ricka said, "Wait! Enju not here. So…"
Kazuki asked, "So what?"
Ricka coated herself in an icy aura and barked, "SO THIS! FILTHY PERVERT!"
WHAM!
She socked him in the chest, as he groaned, "AGH! Now you're the New Enju… Ugh…"
He collapsed, losing consciousness, and narrated, "Urgh… I forgot… Enju is gone, but she has an equal, knowing that she hates this sort of thing. But that wasn't my fault, this time… Though, I'm happy that we were able to find more clues… Enju, we're going to save you…
Just as… soon as I… ugh… regain consciousness…"
Tengge then asked, as she looked at a crushed Kikuko, "Um… Guys… What's wrong with her?"
Kikuko sobbed, still crushed, "Failed at Kikuko… Failed at me…"
Ricka sighed, "Don't even wanna know."
By the time Kazuki regained his composure, after Ricka slugged her, he, Ricka, Myu, Lily, Cy, & Tengge headed back to the laboratory building. They left Johnny behind, since he has to visit Kitsurubami, while Akari had to return home to help her mother. Nanao remains a lifeless doll, from the O.B. Chip, and had to stay with a crushed Kikuko, in her secret room. After explaining everything to the others, Lily said, "I see… So this Makie Sasaki is responsible?"
Kazuki said, "Correct. And you said that Dr. Kajou is the source of it. However, I believe that she's a pawn to this Makie girl. And yes, having to be called a failure, countless times, through negativity, all for revenge…"
Ricka sighed, "Stupid!"
Myu added, "I agree… But I get negative results, and yet I didn't get crushed…"
Fuu replied, "That's because most of your abilities are NO GOOD!"
Myu bawled, "HAU… Hau-hau…"
Lily asked, "Is that the reason why Miss Kikuko is crushed?"
Kazuki said, "It's the chip's doing. And for some reason, she wanted revenge. I wonder who made her pissed off, to the point of losing her mind. On the plus side, she's dead."
Tengge whispered, "Dead?"
Ricka whispered, "Ghost?" and shivered in fright.
Lily asked, "Wait… Say that again? Makie Sasaki's dead?"
Kazuki was about to explain, until Cy called out, "Uh, ew'wyone… I detect no life signs inside."
Kazuki asked, "WHAT? NO LIFE SIGNS?"
They all rushed to the entrance of the lab, and saw that it was completely abandoned. Though, some of the windows were smashed, and traces of blood were everywhere. Smoke also emitted from the building, as it was from destroyed machines. Kazuki growled, "No…"
He pounded his fist and roared, "NOOOOOOOOO!"
Lily gasped, "It's empty!"
Ricka whispered, "We're too late…"
He narrated, "The hag was right… We know of their location, but… there was a chance that they relocated. Yamabuki… Enju… It can't be…"
Makie and Ayame already left the facility, and they took Yamabuki and Enju with them. So what now? The one source that will end this nightmare, and they escaped. Kazuki and the rest of the Ninja Seeking Club are now at a dead end.
