Far away in a rural grassy field, Tohka and Shido were far away from the research lab, as Tohka panted, "Man… That was horrifying…"
"Which one: the robots powered by a gem from Tokyo Tower or the Oboro chick who is a dude?" Shido asked.
She said, "I don't want to know…"
He said, "I'm worried."
"I know… We're far away from the evil lab… and away from Ginti and his friends. But I have to get in there, somehow."
He replied, "Let's just go home. Ginti will be fine. They said it's for research. Ginti's brave enough to resist."
She snarled, "I can't be so sure."
She then sensed something disturbing. She also thought, "A hostile person… This way…"
Tohka asked, "Do you sense it, Shido?"
Shido asked, "No. Who is it?"
She prepared, as she waited. SAIA was arriving from the building, leaving the city. This was SAIA, a gem-powered robot, dispatched by Oboro Tsukimigusa, after learning that Tohka & Shido escaped, moments after they defeated them. Tohka and Shido awaited, as SAIA appeared from the distance. Tohka was shocked, as she whispered, "What the-? She's in black and red! Who is that?"
SAIA appeared, in front of them, from 50 feet. She stood in place, as Shido was confused, "Saya Kisaragi?!"
SAIA responded, "Response: I am NOT Saya Kisaragi. Not anymore. I am SAIA. A reborn cyborg from my masters. I am SAIA – Superhuman Artificial Intelligence Android. I am powered by the red stone, to increase my abilities."
Tohka gasped, "I see… They converted you, too! You were once Kisaragi, only the bastards made you a lifeless doll!"
SAIA called out, "Response: NO ONE calls me that Kisaragi, anymore. Master Tsukimigusa and Miss Kajou made me a superpowerful being. But my body is officially 100% artificial."
"Kajou!" Tohka said, "There's that name again! Let me guess, her name is Queen Kajou?"
SAIA said, "Response: Ayame Kajou… She is not a queen, but the leader of this project of a human/cyborg race called "Rhombloids". I am one of these Rhombloids, as you see from my red stone. I was reborn, after my incident from long ago, against my ex, Fumito."
She continued, "Theory: What to do, when you lost everything, and lose your humanity? The hypothesis is that I want to be happy. However, after Fumito died, I was lonely and sad. It was when I met the master, Ayame Kajou, my creator. And she made me change… Around the time, the one being called "The KEION Bu" were created, and with it, the master of it all, Queen Mio Akiyama, and evil android created to create the perfect world, erasing humankind. But they're NOT called KEION Bu. Negative.
What you call the KEION Bu, they go by a different name. They go by "Jewel Women"."
Tohka was shocked, as she whispered, "Jewel Women? That's their real name?"
SAIA responded, "Correct. The KEION Bu was a front, much like their other name "GemStars". These women were created as hybrids of 75% fembot, 20% human, 20% vampire.
ERROR – Jewel Women are over 100% in power. By definition, it's the highest anyone has become."
Tohka was angered, as Shido said, "So… KEION Bu, or Jewel Women, are hybrids of robots and vampires?"
Tohka barked, "Hold the fuck on! Saya, you said that they are half-human, half-machine, and part-vampire. What does that make you?"
SAIA replied, "Response: I am half-human, part-robot, and part-demon. Ayame Kajou, my creator, is half-human, half-machine; yet her body is 99% artificial. Her mouth is 1% organic, and also very dirty. All her assistants and minions vary, whether they convert or not. I am one of those that converted."
Tohka said, "You want to produce an army of Rhombloids, only to observe the city. Don't act so coy, Saya… I bet you did this, in a way to get to my mother and my remaining sister, Sena. Shiina and Origami are dead, because of those succubae of androids. Lan's heart could never be mended, and even so, he dated an alluring robot, who wants to be perfected. You're no different than the vampires."
SAIA beeped, "Opinion: Say what you will. My function is twice as hard as the Jewel Women, at all times."
"Then I'll just have to kill you, twice as hard!" Tohka prepared to fight.
She said to Shido, "Shido, step back. This one's mine. I bet that Oboro bastard sent her here to kill us."
SAIA stated, "Correction: I am here to capture you, and bring you to the lab. Killing is not an option."
Shido called out, "You forget one thing! It's BROAD DAYLIGHT! AND YOU'RE IN THE MIDDLE OF IT!"
He laughed, but Tohka said, "Idiot… She's not a vampire robot. That's specifically for the Jewel Women. And even so, don't you think that they get out in the day, and still stand in working condition, when they first met Lan Hikari?"
SAIA replied, "Miss Yatogami is correct. The Jewel Women are mostly robotic, and while they are part-vampire, they can still stay out in the sun… if given the opportunity. I, however, am not. I am a Rhombloid, a superhuman android, with powers, TWICE as powerful as humanity."
Tohka and SAIA stared down, as Tohka held her sword up. She said, "I don't care what you are. You can't take me in, not after those jerks know everything about me. I'm going to destroy you and you pathetic Rhombloid Army, before they launch."
SAIA said, "You will try. But there is no try. Trying is for quitters."
They dashed at each other and clashed swords. They started to swing and slash, but kept blocking each attack. Tohka thought, as she was fighting, "Even if I have to destroy her, I'll never forgive myself."
They continued to clash, as SAIA responded, "Battle outcome – 45% chance of failure… She's… that strong. Shido Itsuka is weaker than her. But I never comprehend why they are in love. I have lost love, when Kajou converted me. My only love is the sword."
SAIA slashed in a vertical swipe, but Tohka dodged out of the way. Tohka ran towards her and swung her sword around. SAIA continued to dodge and avoid the blade strikes. She landed a kick to the jaw, and Tohka was on her knees. SAIA struck her with her katana, hitting her waist area. Tohka dropped to the ground and landed on her feet. She rushed towards her and landed a swift jab to her waist. They continued to strike, as SAIA thought, "Outcome – 75% chance of failure… She… How is she doing this? If it comes to this, I have to resort to my secret weapon."
Her red eyes flashed brightly, as Tohka stepped back. SAIA said, "No matter what you say, no matter what you do, even if I am in the brink of defeat, no one can defeat me. Yatogami. Itsuka. Know this. The Jewel Women may be evil and vile, but Rhombuses are forever loyal. We are not evil. A great storm is coming… ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, cumming… and you cannot interfere."
Shido asked, "Did she just made a lewd joke?"
Tohka asked, "Let me ask you a question… This Ayame Kajou… Who was she, and why the sudden change of being an android. My boyfriend, however, concerns her choice of catchphrases, which are lewd and X-rated."
SAIA said, "Response: My creator has a gutter mouth, and loves to make dirty jokes and lewd comments. Don't ask me why I suddenly say that, but she's bored of a peaceful and family-friendly world, without jokes. She wants carnage and chaos. ERROR! She wants order and triad! ERROR! She wants poopy and cum. ERROR! Insert Dirty Joke here…"
Tohka was disgusted, as she huffed, "Okay… T.M.I., alright? Enough! I'm going to need a barf bag, once your creator is destroyed."
She prepared, as she shouted, "TO BATTLE!"
They continued to clash, as Tohka said, "Your kind, it can't win. It's proven. The KEION Bu-, I mean, the Jewel Women were defeated… Their gems were from Mt. Fuji… Yours, however, were from Tokyo Tower. There's got to be a pattern."
SAIA said, "Correct. Japan is known to be the jewel of the island country, despite that Tokyo is NOT the capital of Japan. Tokyo is the city, where everything is connected… all by gemstone and power."
Tohka growled, "You're mad! You think that Tokyo is ancient that it's manned by androids?"
SAIA replied, "Androids were not created, long ago. Only the gem power manipulates the person inside."
Tohka said, as she was annoyed, "I don't believe you."
SAIA stepped back, "I kid you not. It's long ago… in the old days of Japan…"
Tohka barked, "NOOOOO! I don't wanna hear it! Whatever you would say would be fabricated stories!"
SAIA replied, "Wrong. This is cold hard fact… Hard and cold as a cock into my pussy…"
Tohka roared, in disgust, "WOULD YOU SHUT UP ALREADY?"
SAIA bowed and said, "Sorry. Miss Kajou's too infectious."
Tohka prepared, as she and SAIA continued to fight.
Meanwhile, back at the lab, underground, Ayame was being taken apart, as she was only shown with her head and upper torso, on a table. Her arms and lower body were set aside, as Okuma said, "Since Ayame failed to update her recent program updates. It'll take twenty minutes for the completion."
Otome was waiting by the door, overhearing the conversation. Okuma stroke her black hair and said, "Soon, you'll be awake. I know it's under protest, but we can't kill Otome."
Ayame beeped, as she spoke, "Update. Begin."
As she was loading, she said to Okuma, "Tanukichi, I am. glad you. stayed. by me."
Okuma said, "Maybe I better wait, until you're operational."
She said, "No big dick. Big dong. I am. hasty. Yesssss…"
She slurred and rebooted, "Tanukichi, I'm alright now. Estimated time left: 15 minutes."
He replied, "Well, at least you remembered to update your software."
"I thought I did. But suddenly, it stopped working."
"I know… much as you updated your lower body, by using your two fingers."
"I think so. Tanukichi, now that we're alone, let's fuck."
"Uh, no. You're in half."
"Oh. I see. My ass is over there. So sexy~!"
"THAT'S ENOUGH! I put your right arm on your ass, so it looks like your patting it. Your welcome."
Ayame giggled, "You know me, too well."
He kissed her, as they started to make out, with Okuma wrapping his arms onto Ayame's armless upper body. They stopped, as she said to him, "Well, since we're alone, and we can screw and fondle, I guess we should plan what to do with Saotome-senpai."
Okuma said, "Not until the updates are finished. Besides, we'll… talk dirty, once we reassemble you."
She joked, "You think of me as a sex doll, do you?"
He bellowed, "Moron! We're robots! We're programmed for anything! Of course I think of you as a sex doll!"
She smirked, "Oh! Then, disregard then."
He seethed in annoyance, "I can't stay mad at you… but I am still pissed off!"
Ayame barked, "Oh, calm down, Robo-Cock! Let's discuss the matter at hand-job."
They began a conversation, as Otome was eavesdropping, listening on to their plan. She growled, as she was nervous, "Damn them… What are they planning?"
She started to draw with a pencil in her mouth, obsessed with Ayame's naked upper body on display. She knocked on the door and said, "Excuse me, but is this a bad time?"
Okuma asked her, "HEY! What are you doing?"
Ayame said, "It's fine, Okuma. Saotome is to see me in the nude."
She asked, "Hey, brush off one part of my hair, to show my nip-slip for Saotome, please~!"
Okuma roared, "UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES!"
Otome was too obsessed over a nude robot body that she forgot about what Ayame and Tanukichi are planning to do with her. She left, after Ayame's update was finished, as Okuma rebuilt her. Otome already left, as Ayame said, "Now that my hot bod and fuckable hip is moistened, I think we shall begin the plan. Inform Fuwa that we'll have a one hour delay on the scheduled test."
Okuma said, "Already on it. Fuwa's watching over Ginti and the girls. But I have forbidden her from entering the containment cell."
"Good going. Okay, Tanukichi, let's go."
They walked together, about to initiate their plan.
Back above ground, near the grassy fields, SAIA and Tohka continued to fight, as they were close to being tired. SAIA was moaning, "ERROR… Must cool off…"
Tohka was breathing heavily, growing tired. She thought, "Just what is she? I can keep up with her, but it's like she's superfast!"
SAIA asked, "Question: Give up?"
Tohka said, as she was on one knee, "No. I will never surrender… But I just want to know… Why would you side with those freaks? Why is Tokyo a solid barren wasteland of the gem-powered era?"
SAIA explained, as she was standing straight:
"It all started in this timeline: start of the Paleolithic Japan – fifteen thousand years ago… Ikara Tokisaki, an ancestor of Kurumi Tokisaki, discovered a mysterious gem that gives her life. She lived long enough to last throughout history, from the Paleolithic Era and the Yayoi Era to the Edo, Showa, and the era of today, Heisei.
The gems were reintroduced, during the Muromachi Era, by one of Ikara's ancestors, in 1337. He just found a shining jade statue that holds up gems of different shapes, including a dark blue sapphire that holds pure power. He was responsible for an event, one year later, when he made Ashikaga Takauji a shogun. Years passed, as Shogun Takauji would make the southern court surrender, as Shogun would wear the gem on his helmet. Because of the overwhelming power, he ordered his slaves to build Kinkaku-Ji. By a long time, in 1570, the gems disappeared, and were buried in antiquity, during the Battle of Anegawa.
By the Edo Era, the gems returned, and with it, another of the Tokisaki ancestors was responsible for another event in history: 1707…"
Tohka gasped, "No… Mount Fuji… That was when the mountain erupted in a volcano!"
Shido cried, "But if that's the case… then… the gems that were earthed and buried… are all-powerful magma rocks?!"
SAIA replied, "Response: Yes. And after the Hoei Eruption, the ancestor of the Tokisaki Family died in that eruption. But all the gem powers that erupted in the great 1707 explosion were scattered around the city. What you call a mountain… it's actually a volcano.
Time passed, and it was the future. Skyscrapers were built, many technological marvels were produced, and landmarks were made. As the gems hibernated for the past 400 years…"
Tohka said, "The Heisei Era… That didn't start until 1989."
SAIA continued, "But the gems remained hibernated… as Kurumi Tokisaki was introduced; but unlike her ancestor, she chose to rebel against the gem, and wants to protect the world.
And then came that tragic day… Magnitude 9…"
Tohka growled, "I remember that day…"
Miz-K NOTE: I'm referring to the tragic Fukushima Triple Disaster, and NOT the anime "Tokyo Magnitude 8.0". That anime took place, AFTER the horrible 2011 earthquake.
SAIA concluded, as she held her katana, "And when Fukushima erupted, it brought a huge powerful burst of energy into the gems, buried inside their hiding spots, making them all-powerful and all-resilient. But in order to do so, the robots of Japan must harness the energy, and study it to humankind, to preserve life. While some chose for evil purposes… like the Jewel Women, who was responsible for numerous disappearances and deaths. The stones eroded and grew, and were unearthed in numerous and famous landmarks around Tokyo. Mount Fuji, Tokyo Tower, the NHK Studio in Shibuya, Ikebukuro, Akihabara, Tokyo Sky Tree, Nikko Toshogu, and others. Temples have the gems, even famous landmarks in the city. But have remained buried away, until that day…"
Tohka whispered, "Queen Mio used Geo & Sonia to unearth the first gem in Mount Fuji and Fuji Forest… And then the Rhombloids would get it next, under Tokyo Tower!"
SAIA said, "Correct. As you can see, Tokisaki's passion for a better world created a history for Japan, including Tokyo. Kurumi Tokisaki, upon learning of the Jewel People's Perfect World evil plan, would stop at nothing to end the disaster, before it started. The gem, however, would return to Fuji Forest… somehow. But all it did was summon others to be unearthed, for gem supremacy. Kurumi Tokisaki, having used the gem for good, caused an upscale of a robotic race, and its followers to unearth gems, to learn which has much power. The damage was already done."
Tohka shouted, "YOU LIE! So what if these gems were from a volcano, and bloomed to be cores for your kind! I find it hard to believe, and I won't approve of this story!"
SAIA said, "It is all true. Forgive me."
Tohka growled, as she clutched her sword, "I'm not going to stand by and let you stall me for time, for such a fairy tale! We fight, now!"
SAIA's eyes turned red and said, "You won't… unfortunately…"
FLASH!
Tohka was caught in a blinding red and blue flash. She dropped her sword and was still in a stance. She was frozen stiff, as Shido asked, "Whoa! What was that light? Tohka?"
She couldn't respond. Tohka was stuck tight. But her mouth was still moving. She whispered, "I… I can't move… What have you done to me?"
SAIA said, "Relax. I halted your body functions, to proclaim you."
Tohka snarled, "When I get out of here… I'm gonna-."
SAIA said, "You're gonna what? Kill me? Not likely."
She held up a dark blue gem and said, "You are going with me. Come along."
She removed Tohka's shirt, showing her bare upper body with a white bra. SAIA was about to place the gem onto her chest. Shido grabbed Tohka's sword and swung at SAIA. She dodged out of the way, but dropped the dark blue gem onto the dirt ground. He called out, "That's enough! How dare you turn my girlfriend into your personal guinea pig! It's robots like you that make technology a bad name! Saya Kisaragi, I will avenge Tohka!"
Tohka squeaked, "Uh, I'm not dead, Shido."
SAIA replied, "Fool. No one can defy the Rhombloids."
Shido said, "We'll see about that! Japanese history corrupted by a gem of olden times… and produced to create a war of gems… I have no idea what's going on, but I do know is that you're going down!"
Shido and SAIA began to clash, as Shido wants to avenge what SAIA did to Tohka. Will Shido avenge his fallen love, or will they be two more test subjects for the Rhombloid Project?
