In a small dark room, Lan and Sonia were tied up in rope, as their wrists were up in shackles, dangling high. Sonia was already dizzy, as Lan was upset. Mugi said, as she approached them, "Woe onto you, MegaStar. Too bad no one can save you, now…"

Sonia growled, "You son of a bitch…"

Mugi said, "Naughty. Naughty."

Lan cried, "What are you going to do to us?"

Mugi said, "Well, I need to rest up a bit, before tomorrow, so I can begin the process of creating the world, as I see fit… full of hate…"

Lan growled, "No… You cannot break our movement of peace!"

Mugi rips the LOVE button off of his shirt, as she sneered, "You mean this?"

She dropped the button on the floor, and crushed it with her own foot, bending it into a warped piece of tin. Lan was devastated, as he yelled, "You maniac!"

Sonia roared, "YOU WON'T GET AWAY WITH THIS!"

Mugi said, "That I did… only for Ginti's sake… He and I will reunite, once I am in working condition. I will not be obsolete, again… My darling, Ginti…"

She sobbed, as she prayed to the heavens, "Dear sweet Ginti… I await for you to come back to me… I don't want you to date another floozy… even if she is too advanced for me. Ginti, I love you…"

Sonia huffed, "Okay, not only you're crazy, but you're also nucking futz. You think that Ginti will ever take you back, after you were tossed away, and reprogrammed into an evil slavebot to a master we do not know of?"

Mugi replied, "We know of our master. We just never speak with her, face-to-face. Right, Sonia?"

She held her chin, as Sonia growled. Mugi said, "And I am aware that you once dated Geo, all for Mio to take him away from you. Doesn't that make you sad? The kind of thing that makes you hate Geo? You hate him, for dating Mio, over you. You're just like the other robots… replaceable, obsolete, and unreliable… You're antediluvian."

PTOO!
Sonia spat at Mugi's face, as she snarled, "Fuck you… AND FUCK GEO, TOO! I don't care if he dates that robot! He and I agreed to break-up, only to be happy, just like Maylu and Lan did, too… And I'm happy for Geo! I don't hate him, at all… But, speaking of, YOU HAD NO RIGHT KILLING MAYLU, WHO WAS A MEMBER OF THE BAND! YOU'RE A PSYCHO! YOU KNOW THAT?"

Mugi clasped her neck and hissed, "You've said… Enough!"

Mugi liplocked with Sonia, as Mugi gave Sonia a huge kiss. Sonia started to slowly drop her eyelids, as she was pleading to stop. Her eyes closed and her body started to grow limp. Lan shouted, "SONIA! You devil doll! You killed her!"

Mugi said, "I didn't. I only subdued her, for a moment. She's passed out, at least, for now… and THAT was for spitting in my face. Humans are so rude."

Lan struggled, as he was shouting, "You dirty bitch! Unbind me, now! You hate and you hate and you hate… but you never know true love!"

Mugi punched him in the gut, as she said, "No… I know true love. Those robots took it away from me! Nao… Sumire… Azusa… Mio… Yui… ALL OF THEM! I am happy with Ginti, and these KEION Bots ruined me! My life is a lie! My old life was enjoyable! BUT WHAT ABOUT YOU?"

She punched him in the chest, as she was torturing him with pain. Lan started to scream in pain, as Mugi said, "If I had one shred of hatred and jealous within me, built-in with my love for others, I'd kill you, quickly. But I can't… Your kind makes me sick! Just because you wanted to start a phony Global Movement of peace and love, you can share the wealth from it!"

She continued to strike at Lan, as he pleaded, "I don't care if you're a woman… I will wring your fucking neck!"

Mugi punched him in the solar plexus, as Lan was in overwhelming pain. She barked, "How can you? You're all tied up!"

She snickered, "And as soon as Geo & Tory are mine… you four can join Maylu… as dead rockers… and my personal slaves…"

She left to the door and slammed it. She locked the door, as she remarked, "Three down, two to go."

XXXXX

Geo & Mio arrived at the Black Amethyst, as Mio saw the bodies of Nao & Sumire. Mio cried, "they came, already?"

Geo said, "Apparently, they were beaten up, and destroyed. Good job, Lan~!"

Mio shivered, "I don't think it was Lan and Company… This is Mugi's handiwork… But now's not the time. Mugi's battery has drained, and she is recharging. Quickly. Remove my gem."

Geo said, "Right. I'll recharge you. And then, I'll find Lan and Sonia."

He opened Mio's chest panel, and was surprised. He asked, "Uh, Mio, what's wrong with your gem?"

Mio cried, as she looked, "OH, NO! Not now! What is happening to my cell?"

Geo asked, "Can we replace it? Or is it color-coordinated?"

Mio said, "It's fine. Any gem will do, as long as it's powered up by the Black Amethyst. But it appears that I need a new gem…"

Geo looked at two gems, Mugi's green gem and Ritsu's yellow, on the altar. He asked, "Could we use these?"

Mio said, "No. That's Mugi's and that's Ritsu's. However, we don't have a spare jewel to use, to have my cell…"

Geo asked, "What happens if the gem cracks into pieces?"

Mio said, "It's only if I try to not strain myself… If that happens, my gem will break into pieces, and I'll become a mannequin."

Geo gasped, "In other words, you'll die?"

Mio replied, "Yes."

Geo hugged Mio, as he whimpered, "I can't let you die. We have to find a replacement gem."

He asked, "What about Nao's and Sumire's?"

Mio explained, "It won't work… Mugi crushed Nao's gem, and Sumire's is already cracked. It has to be a whole gem. Cracked gems won't do, at all."

Geo sobbed, "WELL, WHAT CAN WE DO? We're running out of time! I cannot have a statue of a girlfriend!"

Mio blushed, "You… You don't? I'd rather die, than be a slave to the master!"

Geo yelled, "And I'd rather want you to live, than be a mannequin! You're not dying, on my watch!"

Mio was shocked, as she started to sob, "Geo… You would risk my life, to protect it?"

Geo said, "I'm going to find you a gem… I do not care which one… but I am going to save you and Yui… For everyone's sake."

Mio hugged him, as she sniffled, "Oh, Geo… You're my hero… Darling…"

They hugged, and then they were about to kiss.

"TRAITOR!" Mugi cried, as she appeared by the altar.

Mio gasped, "MUGI! What have they done to you?"

She asked, "Hold on… How can you be moving, without your gem?"

Mugi said, "You didn't know? The Black Amethyst is my true power core."

Mio shivered, "I was afraid of this… So much hate inside her… What caused you to be so spiteful?"

Mugi replied, "Oh, no matter… I can explain. But first…"

She held up Nao's remote, as she beeped at Mio, setting her to Selective Control. Mugi then said, as she was in control of Mio, "Mio-Bot. Kill Geo!"

Geo cried, "WHAT?"

Mio cried, "NO!"

Mugi pressed the button, as Mio turned to Geo and grabbed his arms. She threw him down to the floor, as Mio beeped, "Kill Geo. Kill Geo. Geo, forgive me."

Geo moaned, as he was on his back, "Mio! Fight it!"

"I can't!" Mio cried, "Mugi has Nao's Manual Controller. The Master makes us use this device, in order to use it for testing and emergency orders. Mugi's abusing it, making me under selective control. I'm her puppet."

Geo said, "I can't fight you. But I want to protect you."

He called to Mugi, "Disperse, Mugi! Can't you see that Mio's dying? Her gem is failing!"

Mugi pressed a button and giggled, "Oh, I'm sorry. I am not obligated to reply on your demands. In short, does it look like I care, you scumbag?"

Mio picked Geo up and clasped onto his neck. Mio was strangling him, as she sobbed, "Geo… I am so sorry… Do forgive me. This is all Mugi's fault…"

Geo groaned, "Do not be. It's alright."

He whispered, "I love you."

Mio gasped, as she was trying to fight Mugi's control. Mugi then barked, "DO NOT LISTEN TO HIM! Hate him! Kill him! BREAK HIS GODDAMN NECK!"

Mio was in a conflict, as Geo was fading from her grip. Would she kill Geo, or save him, only to disobey Mugi? Either way, the conflict inside her made her gem crack a little. Mio shut her eyes and whispered, "Geo… I…"

She struggling, as she grit her teeth. She shouted, as she let go, "I WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON'T!"

Mugi's controller exploded, as Mugi shrieked, "AAAGH!"

She cried, "NO! IMPOSSIBLE!"

Mio was panting, as she was on one knee. Geo coughed, as he was on the floor, regaining air. Mio sobbed, "I'm sorry. Please do forgive me. I am programmed to obey every command. But killing the one I love… THAT I CANNOT DO!"

Mio stared down at Mugi, as Mio said, "It ends, you faulty robot! You're a naughty girl, abusing your role as a KEION. All the hate… inside you… the Black Amethyst has made you corrupt… and because of you, Azusa is dead… Maylu Sakurai is dead… and everyone we have captured is dead… You even hurt Ritsu, and Tory, and Nao & Sumire… and now, Geo!"

Mio yelled, "I! WILL NEVER! FORGIVE YOU! I HATE YOU, MUGI! I HATE YOU!"

Mugi laughed, "THAT'S IT! Feel the hate inside! Use it and turn on Geo!"

Mio barked, "I'm not turning on him… I'm turning on my master… and ON YOU!"

She punched Mugi in the face, as Mugi was hurt. She growled, in astonishment, "You… you struck me… You…"

She hollered, as she tackled down Mio, "YOU STRUCK ME IN THE FACE, YOU BITCH! GRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!"

They started to brawl around the floor, as Geo crawled off. He then heard a faint moan, as he approached a door. It was locked. He called out, "Hello? Anyone there?"

Lan called out, from inside, "Geo? Is that you?"

Geo asked, "The hell happened?"

Lan said, "Get us out of here!"

"Us?"

"Yes, us! Sonia and I got captured, and she tortured me, punching me in the stomach. And it hurts really bad…"

Geo said, "Hang on. Mugi and Mio are preoccupied. I'm gonna try and bust the door down."

Geo proceeded into charging at the door, trying to break it down. He broke the door down, as he saw Lan, badly hurt, and Sonia, out cold. Lan cried, "Thank god you came…"

Sonia was still out, as Geo said, "What happened?"

Lan moaned, "Mugi knocked her cold. She kissed her, and suddenly stopped breathing."

Geo felt her pulse and said, "She's okay. She just passed out. We're glad Mugi didn't kill her."

"Not yet, at least. GET ME DOWN!"

"SHUSH! Do you want Mugi to hurt you?"

"Sorry."

He untied the rope, as Lan said, "Good. Now, about the chains we have…"

Geo said, "I wish I had a hairpin. Does Sonia have any?"

"No." Lan replied.

Geo said, "Fine. Then, I'll have to smash the locks."

He found a ballpoint hammer and said, "Hold still, Lan!"

SMASH!
The chains broke, as Lan was free. He went to Sonia, as Lan asked, "Where's Mio?"

Geo said, "Fighting off Mugi! Once we revive Sonia, now's our chance to stop this madness!"

Lan nodded, "Damn right! Nobody ruins the movement of love and peace, and gets away with it!"

Geo replied, "It's also about time, Lan."

"Huh? What do you mean?"

"Mio's going to die. If we beat Mugi, and stop the Black Amethyst, there's a 50-50 chance that Mio's power cell will be destroyed."

Lan said, "We have to do something… But how?"

Geo whispered, "I don't know."

Meanwhile, Mugi was on the floor, as Mio was punching her face. Mugi shoved her off, as Mio was slightly injured. Mugi was badly hurt, as she hissed, "You stupid slut…"

Mio smiled, "What's the matter? Can't destroy me? You should've tried to remove my power cell."

Mugi remarked, "Thanks for reminding me. But you said it's cracking, and too much energy will cause it to be destroyed. No. I wouldn't do that, not in the state that you're in."

She dropped to her knees, as she growled, "If I had any energy left, I'd destroy you…"

She removed her blouse and blazer, showing her white bra, as she beckoned to her to fight her. Mio threw down her blouse, with just her bare chest, with her hair covering her breasts. Mugi smirked, "Perfect… You're too perfect for a beauty… but I'm all hate…"

She siphoned some of the amethyst's energy, as she started to brim with dark energy. She shone her eyes in a hue of purple, as she cackled, "Can you stop me, naked and all alone?"

Mio trembled, as Mugi consumed much power of hate, inside the gem. Mio cried, "You monster… You cannot last that long!"

Mugi said, "I'd offer you my gem, but why bother? I don't need it anymore, but I rather not, because I want you dead."

Mio snarled, "You… will never succeed… My friends will stop you, once and for all…"

Mugi replied, "And how? You're going to die, soon… Just a mannequin. That's all you'll ever be. And no one can save you, being that I'm alone… with Yui."

Mio sobbed, "Leave her out of this."

Mugi cackled, as Mio was on one knee, still hurt, and with her gem nearly finished. As they continued to fight, inside the gem, two bright lights appeared from inside the amethyst. Lan, Geo, & Sonia arrived, as Sonia came to. She moaned, as she heard a voice. She whispered, "Tory…"

Geo asked, "Sonia? You okay?"

Sonia whispered, "The gem… Tory's inside!"

Lan and Geo cried out, "WHAT?"

Inside a huge blue and purple background, similar to cyberspace, Ritsu and Tory were floating together, completely naked, and covered in a bright light, near a huge dark violet core, from within the dark gem. Ritsu said, as she said to Tory, "Tory, at last we meet."

Tory asked, "You're alive? I thought you were destroyed."

"I was… but my subconscious was in the gem, before I was taken apart. I overheard the gem's overwhelming power… and I chose not to be here, a second longer."

"What?"

Ritsu said, as she went closer, "This, Tory, is where all the hate is subdued in… and it's increasing, in an extraordinary rate. If I can use all my love, and absorb it inside, maybe it'll stop the hate from inside, weaken Mugi, and free her… and us, too. I can tell, since I knew about Ginti. He never lost her. He still loves her…"

She turned to Tory, as she smiled, "I can tell. She just couldn't shut up about it. In any case, my darling… I have to go in there."

Tory cried, "NO! I'll go with you. You have a life… and I want to share it with you."

Ritsu replied, "You cannot! NEVER! I'm sorry."

"Why not?"

She explained that she must go in there and absorb her love inside the dark core. However, that would also mean that her life must end. Ritsu would be deleted, forever. Tory whispered, "No…"

He sobbed, "We fell in love, we are happy, we had a magical time… We wanted to be together, forever…"

He cried, "And now, you're leaving me? I can't go on, without you…"

Ritsu kissed him, as she said, "It's alright. I wanted to live, too, but I can't live in a world that is all hate. Mugi is manipulated by the gem, after she was erased of her happiness and her memories of Ginti, and in order to stop it, I have to use all that I can endure. But that would mean I can no longer exist. I'm sorry, Tory. I did love you, and I always will."

She floated by, as she started to pixelate from the feet. She slowly started to disappear, in pixels, as she whispered, "Tory… I love you…"

She echoed, as her lower body vanished, "Goodbye… Goodbye… Goodbye…"

Tory watched on, as he was crying. Ritsu was disappearing, as he saw her vanish. He cried out, as he bit his lip, "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"

He grabbed Ritsu's body and held her. He hugged her and whispered, "I love you… Don't leave me…"

Ritsu gasped, "NO! Tory! You can't, you fool!"

Tory sobbed, "I don't care… I love you! And I cannot lose you, ever!"

Ritsu smiled, "It's too late…"

Tory also started to pixelate, as he gasped. He then said, "So be it. We die together, with the love we have. And our love is stronger than one person."

Ritsu wept, "Tory… You would do that for me? But what about… your friends?"

Tory smiled, as he held her, "They'll understand. Tell them I said goodbye."

They started to kiss, as Ritsu whispered, "I'll always love you. And I will always do."

Tory smiled, "And I will see to it that Mio & Yui will be happy…"

They shared one last kiss, as they disappeared into a million pixelated pieces. They flew into the dark core of the Black Amethyst, and spread their love all over the core. The core suddenly grew brighter, and formed a pinkish glow, with the form of a heart, inside the core, in flashing yellow and pink glow. Ritsu and Tory stopped the hate inside the amethyst. But in the process, they both sacrificed themselves to stop it.

Mugi fell on one knee, as she felt the power inside, starting to fade away. She cried, "What's going on?"

Mugi dropped to her knees, as Mio gasped, "The amethyst… It's…"

Lan gasped, "What is going on?"

Sonia felt it, as the crystal started to grow brighter. It was pink, instead of purple, as Sonia was in tears.

"Tory…" she wept.

She hollered, as she screamed very loudly, "TORRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRY!"

Lan, Geo, and Sonia lost Tory, as he chose to stop the hate inside the gem, with Ritsu. Ritsu and Tory were inside the gem, forming a bright heart, never to be seen again. Sonia could only cry, as Mio looked at the gem. She sniffled, "Ritsu… You… You didn't…"

She smiled, as she cried, "It's over, Mugi! You don't hate, anymore! The gem is stopping us!"

Mugi cried, "NO!"

She hollered, "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"

It's the end, but what of Mugi? And what of Mio and Yui, as well? Will this be the end of these girls?

And now, let's keep an updated score on this fated story:
Death – Jun, Azusa, Maylu, Ritsu, Tory, Nao, Sumire
Torture – Lan (briefly)
Turn – Mugi
Slaves – Mugi, Yui
Escape – none
