Jhaede: *Puts on a fake beard* Welcome back to Mind Control you whippersnappers!
Gabbi: Uh… Jhaede?
Jhaede: What is iiit my deary *Strokes beard*
Gabbi: If we've grown older, wouldn't our readers have too? Also… you're a woman.
Jhaede: You have a point. *Takes beard off* Welcome back to Mind Control you impatient turnips!

LAST TIME ON MIND CONTROL, BECAUSE WE'VE PROCRASTINATED FAR TOO LONG FOR YOU TO ACTUALLY REMEMBER WHAT HAPPENED LAST TIME AND NEITHER COULD WE SO WE HAVE HAD TO RE-READ THE ENTIRE THING AND WE STILL DON'T KNOW WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT! THOUGH ABOUT HALF WAY THROUGH WE REALISED!

"W-well, the blue knight is sworn to protect Ichigo, right? Well he becomes the blue knight beca- Oh my GOD!"

"What? What is it?"

"It's the…"

"It's the WHAT?" Jhaede said in a frustrated tone.

"Doesn't matter, well, it does but I can't explain it, just… meet me on the roof of Lettuce's house in your mew form, at 11:30 sharp, see you!" she quickly pressed the hang up button and stared through the telescope, then ran about her room grabbing some things including something she had bought the day before… battery powered hair straightens… she then ran to Lettuce's computer and began working away very quickly…

The blonde called over his partner and they both watched the screen as the two signals seemed to travel across the 2D map, attacking. They watched this for about 15 minutes, then the dots stood still for a long time, Ryou shook his head and went back to working. About 30 minutes later the signals stopped, they disappeared, but there has not been a log of any detransforming…

"Enough foolishness! What are you two doing here?" Kisshu yelled loudly, brandishing his dragon swords, making the girls step back, before Gabbi pulled the battery powered straightners out of her back.

"Yah!" Gabbi shook them about. Glaring at Kisshu, hoping he didn't realise what they were.

"What the..." Kisshu stepped back, and Gabbi felt relieved…

AND NOW THE CONCLUSION:

Chapter 9: The Beginning of the End

"What is that?" Kisshu screamed.
"This? You don't know what this?" Gabbi faked surprise at question.
"It's a weapon created long again by an infuriated woman, whose husband cheated on her. She decided all men were evil and so this weapon was created the..." Gabbi looked at Jhaede for assistance; in return Jhaede quickly stared at the label 'GHD'
"Gruesome Hair Destroyer..." Gabbi nodded evilly, whilst Jhaede twitched an eyebrow and glared at her.
"Hair destroyer? EEEP!" Kisshu covered his head and flung himself in a corner "Please not the hair, anything but the hair!"

Gabbi blinked in surprise, she didn't expect Kisshu to act like that. "Hmph. You'll see the true power of the G.H.D quickly, unless you stop and listen to us.

"Enough of this foolishness. This item is simply a human beautification device." Pai stormed back into the room, the faint sign of a blush still on his cheeks. He walked towards Gabbi menacingly, who waved the straightners around. "Stop being ridiculous, Kisshu, These g-" A yelp of pain echoed through the ship as Pai had grabbed the straightners, burning his hand. Kisshu whimpered and continued to hide in the corner, while Taruto ran towards his clacking balls to grab them.

"Oh no you don't!" Jhaede turned towards Taruto and pull something from her pocket. She pressed down the top of the spray deodorant and sprayed it straight into Taruto's face, making the small alien fall onto the ground clutching his eyes. "Alright then, you pitiful lot." Jhaede looked over the alien, one crying below her, one clutching his hand, and the other hiding in the corner. "We're going to explain the situation to you; come with us. Any funny business and you'll all be in a world of hurt." Gabbi picked up Taruto, who was still helplessly grasping his eyes, and walked towards the room with the aliens' main computer. Jhaede, and the other two aliens followed.

"Now, sit."
"We won't be talked to like pets, human!" screamed Pai in futile defiance.
THWACK
"OY! DON'T HIT PAI!" frowned Kisshu.
"SILENCE! I KILL YOU!" Jhaede screamed
"...okay." they said simultaneously whilst Gabbi cackled in the background from what she was doing and the reference Jhaede had used.
"What has happened to you, my love?" Kisshu frowned.
"Oh please, you don't really think we're the real Ichigo and Lettuce do you? I mean really, c'mon guys, get a BRAIN! Would the real Ichigo be so feisty and-"
"Dominatrix like?"
"OH SHUT UP GABBI!"
"Hehehee..."
"Would the real Lettuce be like THAT? Would the real Ichigo and Lettuce sneak in to your ship? Would the real Ichigo and Lettuce come without back up? Would they attack with STRAIGHTNERS? And more importantly, would Ichigo distract you whilst Lettuce downloaded a virus into your COMPUTER?"
"NANI?" they screamed and Ichigo held up the straightners with a gleam of anger in her eye and they slowly shrunk back to the ground in fear.
"That should just about do it, let's go quickly."
"If you follow us, we shan't be so nice..."
"WAIT! You can't just... do this!" screamed Kisshu.
"Oh but clearly we can, since we already have."
"As the virus slowly seeps through your fires and firewalls it will destroy ever bit of information you have, even commands. The only way to get rid of it, is by Lettuce's nimble fingers typing in the correct stuff."
"We'll do anything you want! ANYTHING! Without this ship... we're lost!" Taruto begged.
"Also, I'd like to keep our home intact." Pai said coolly, eyeing the straightners.
"Yes… everything is coming along nicely…" Jhaede said whilst tapping her fingers together.
"OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH GOD" gasped Gabbi
"What nooow?" hissed Jhaede, trying to keep the aliens still cowering
"OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH DEAR LORD!"
"Will you STOP orgasming and tell me what it is?"
"I just remembered they can track where we are."
"Balls."

Lettuce swore under her breath as she bit her thumbnail nervously. "Do you think they've realised? They totally have sensors and shit to tell them if an alien has spawned or whatever… don't they? They'll know there isn't one and we've just randomly transformed, they've got to be suspicious…" Lettuce sank into deep thought.
"Yeah and Ryou's already looking at you funny isn't he? I dunno if we can reverse this susp-OOOOOH!"
"Eh?"
"OOOOH!"
"Will you STOP Orga-"
"-Only funny when I say it. Maybe we should just give up on trying to drop the suspicion and try to get Ryou's help."
"Haven't we discussed this? The 'Ohi I'm a fangirl who spilt coke blahblah' rubbish?"
"Yeah well we can always lie."
"Uuh…"
"Leave it to me…"

It was 00:30 in Tokyo and Ryou had called all the Mew Mews back to the café, everyone but Zakuro stood yawning in the basement rubbing their eyes.
"Why are we here so late nanoda… Pudding is tired!"
"I know everyone and I'm sorry but this is an emergency."
"Shirogane, what seems to be the problem?" spoke Zakuro who stepped forward concerned
"About an hour ago Ichigo and Lettuce transformed then disappeared but the computer gave no signal of them returning to their original selves."
"Nani?" asked Mint
"Why would Lettuce-oneechan and Ichigo-oneechan go without us nanoda? Are they in trouble?"
"I'm not sure… but something tells me that they're doing something about the aliens they haven't told us, given their strange behaviour recently, I'm not surprised."
"I suspected from the moment Lettuce refused to get me tea!"
"I suspected from the moment Lettuce-oneechan wore make up nanoda!"
"I suspected when Ichigo and Shirogane started showing feelings for each other."
"HEY! Whilst I admit it's strange-"
"Shirogane," Zakuro stepped forward, "Mew Ichigo is not who she seems to be, neither is Lettuce. Something strange has happened to them, whether it's from the aliens or not I do not know but we shouldn't be so welcoming to them, we treat them with caution."
Ryou stared into her cold piercing eyes and gasped slightly, frowning then sighed and looked to the floor.
"Hai. You are right."
"NANI NANODA?" screamed Pudding "They are Ichigo and Lettuce-oneechan!"
"They are not entirely themselves, Pudding-san." Keiichiro had spoken for the first time "We must go to the location of where they are and search for them, we need answers and we need them now."
"Mew Mew Tokyo, go!"
"HAI!"

Upon arriving at the scene of their disappearance the three Mew Mews set out on roofs and in the sewers, Mint flying to see if she could spot them from afar. Ryou and Keiichiro stood with them, monitoring the tracking signals, they still couldn't see Lettuce and Ichigo.
"No luck…" Keiichiro put the signal device on the ground and pulled his gloves on tighter, Ryou stared into the sky.
"Where could they-"
SWOOSH
"I'm not sure… but I'm getting tired from standing here, let's find somewhere to sit down." He picked up the device, not even glancing at it and went to find a bench, not noticing Ryou had randomly disappeared…

"Ryou SHHH! It's me!" Jhaede stood in front of Ryou holding her hand over his mouth, she lowered it slowly.
"Nani? Ichigo? Where have you been? What are you doing? Why-"
"I said shhh!"
"Look, we don't have a lot of time to explain but we need your help."
"What have you done…?"
-This plan better work Jhaede-
-This seems a little impossible Thief-kun-
Gabbi chuckled at being called this since she was a girl but let it pass and Ryou frowned at her. "You! Who are you really? I know you're not Ichigo either… so who is it that I feel-"
"SSSHHH!" Jhaede put her hand back over his mouth
-Nani? Oh great now he loves you not me ~Nyaaah…-
Don't worry, he loved you from the beginning, I've tried to act like you with him… you just needed a little more confidence. Let's not dwell on this now.
"You're going to find this hard to believe Shirogane-san, but you have to for the sake of everyone's life…" Gabbi looked to the floor and began to explain how coke and keyboards just don't get along.

After the explanation Ryou looked at the two incredulously. "You're crazy...There must be some sort of side effects we didn't know about." The two girls frowned at Ryou, who just now realised that whilst Lettuce had been explaining, Ichigo had tied up his hands behind his back.

"Ryou, we're telling the truth, and we wish it hadn't happened trust me. There's some serious shit going down, and you have to help us, or it's extremely possible that everyone will die." Ignoring Ryou's looks of confusion and disbelieve, Ichigo continued, standing in front of him. "The aliens are trying to bring some leader to life or something using the mew aqua..."

"It's never explained very much in the show" Lettuce interjected.

"No, but they're gonna be able to eventually, and that brings about something horrible that nearly destroys Tokyo. Now, had we not appeared everything woulda been fine...But no. We've changed so many things in this damned plotline if it happens not only the city will be destroyed, but the whole world!"

"Yeah that's something I never got...how come the aliens never went to other countries? Or better yet, why did they only send like, three idiots?" Lettuce looked to Ichigo.

"Gabbi! Not. The. Time!" Jhaede hissed menacingly.

"I mean Deep Blue is kinda badass, yes, but why not send like, 5 of him? Then there's be like TOTAL DESTRUCTION MWUHA-" She promptly shut up as she was elbowed in the ribs by Ichigo,.

"You're both mad!"

"Tell that to these guys!" Lettuce opened the door that was keeping the group in the small, darkly lit space to reveal three aliens tied up to various stone pillars. "You play nice, now!" The girl said with an impish grin as they dragged Ryou into the room and dropped him on the floor. "We'll be back, don't worry. Just, for gods sakes don't be stupid. Try to chat, and learn things about each other. Ryou, you might find out that the alien's predicament isn't quite that lovely, either. The two girls walked out and shut the door behind them, the tied up group heard a muffled "That was really uncalled for, Jhaede..." from behind the door.
