Minutes later, Yamabuki finished her sketch of Myu and said, "Alright. This Myu will tell us where they are. ARISE!"

The picture transformed into a projection of Myu, exactly looking like her. Kitsurubami said, "WHOA! Amazing… You can do that?"

Yamabuki grinned, "It's my special style. Even if I recreate people, they hold their memories in place. Now then…"

She asked, "Myu-Myu, where are you now?"

Myu's projection said, "Hau? I… Yamabuki-senpai? Oh… Well, I see… Akari-senpai and Enju-senpai… and my… Why can't I not sense anything?"

Kazuki growled, "Bastard! Amarao stole Myu's future sight!"

Kitsurubami asked, "Huh? What did Momochi have?"

Yamabuki said, "She have, or had, a view of the future. In other words, she can predict a move or future, with a mere thought. It only comes, whenever danger occurs."

Kitsurubami gasped, "Wow… Amazing! A ninja that sees the future… Ask her where she is now!"

Myu's projection said, "It's… it's that man in the-. OH! No… What is he doing to-? No… My… eyes are… slowly… shu-."

She stopped speaking, and then suddenly faded away. Yamabuki sobbed, "Myu-Myu!"

Ricka wailed, "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"

Kazuki asked her, "Kitsurubami, do you know what happened?"

Kitsurubami growled, "I know what… Amarao… He's…"

Amarao said, as the soldiers were done operating on Myu's neck, "…turning you into my soldiers. I know the three of you cannot respond, but I have ways…"

He showed a tray of three dark red cubes, and said, "These cubes are created by my many past soldiers, created with the same abilities as my other followers. Like your ninjutsu, absorbed to me, it'll be like ten times stronger… making you perfect super soldiers."

Akari and Enju were standing in place, with their eyes blank and their mouths lightly opened. They were wearing white shirts, half-buttoned open, showing their cleavage. They were wearing black skirts and boots, and berets. Amarao said, "And that's not all… I have installed chips inside your necks, which will give you full obedience. You see, I'm not turning you into robots… I meant to turn you into the finest super soldiers in the division, in order to stop the Vespa Girl and Atomsk. Once I activate your chips, the brainwaves will trigger you and wake you up, thereby adapting to your new function, as you will no longer be Akari Hanao and Enju Saion-Ji, for example. Also, I made some newer hairstyles for these two."

Akari's hairstyle was in a small braid in her back, as Enju's hair was done in a ponytail. Amarao placed the cubes into their cleavages, and then turned to Myu, "And now, your turn… Once we have this cube absorbed inside you, you'll be one of us."

The cubes vanished, as Akari and Enju awakened, standing in attention. Akari called, "Private Hanao reporting."

Enju called, "Private Saion-Ji reporting."

They saluted, as Amarao saluted back. He said, "Ladies, now that you are freed of your ninja selves, you have one mission. I want you to capture and bring to me… Kazuki Araya."

They both saluted, "Yes, sir."

He added, "Also, I am awaiting orders from Lieutenant Kitsurubami. She may be taking too long, and I haven't heard from her, lately. Also, prepare, as you wait for Private Momochi to be awakened, shortly. We'll need all of you to capture the Araya boy. Also, there's another ninja by the name of Yamabuki Suou. She's the only active ninja left, other than Araya. See that you capture her, too."

Enju saluted, "Accepted. We shall capture the ninja boy."

Akari added, "Engaging combat, sir! We shall prepare to fight for you, sir!"

They remained standing, as he concluded, "Good. Wait for Private Momochi to be suited and running. Afterwards, give her the cube for her duties. And then, await orders on capturing the ninjas."

They nodded, as Amarao leaves in a smirk.

Johnny gasped in fright, "Despicable! He wouldn't!"

Cy asked, "The soldiers are andwoids?"

Kitsurubami explained, "No. It's not conversion… almost. Commander Amarao created a chip to install obedience protocol, attached to the nervous system of the host. Think of it as a controlled ring."

Ricka gasped, "Controlled ring?"

Kazuki barked, "Don't remind us… We've had this experience before…"

Nanao said, "Of course! Sonic Brainwashing!"

Yamabuki said, "Before that."

Kazuki said, "See, a while back, Ricka and Myu were kidnapped by a ninja group called The Crow, consisting of ronin ninjas, brainwashed to be coldhearted assassins, and have a huge power boost. At the time, I, along with Yamabuki, Akari, Enju, and Lily entered the Crow's organization, and fought against these emotionless puppets of the Crow. They are controlled by a small ring, which enhances their ninjutsu, completely."

Kitsurubami asked, "The Crow? I never knew that… You mean, Ninjas can also create science, too?"

Nanao said, "We have a friend that helped create The Crow…"

Cy said, "Lady Zina, my cweator. She was the leader of The Cwow, as a way of destwoying Tycoon's evil plans to ewase ninjas!"

Kazuki added, "In short, Zina became our enemy, when she kidnapped Ricka and Myu. However, we learn that she was actually helping us."

Kitsurubami asked, "Huh? I don't get it… what are you talking about?"

Cy explained the full story, including how the former Obnubi Head, the Tycoon, Enju's grandfather, wanted to erase the ninja villages, to create a newer world for his ninja organization. Of course, thanks to Kazuki's full-powered Kamuy and the Beast Seal Scroll, Tycoon's plans were foiled.

Kitsurubami said, "…and after that, as you said, Obnubi disbanded and collapsed, likewise the Crow."

Nanao gasped, "OH! No one told me about it!"

Johnny sobbed, "Yeah! No one told me about it!"

Kazuki said, "Johnny, you were at the hospital, at the time. Nanao, you weren't in our school, at the time. Of course, Yamabuki chickened out, only to stay away from Obnubi's radar."

Yamabuki said, "They know who I was, and I wouldn't want to get involved. I was shocked to learn, after I returned, that Cy gave her life to save us."

Kazuki huffed, "Yeah, well… If it weren't for my stupid father, I would've let my village go ablaze."

Kitsurubami nodded and said, "Very well… Seems we're at a crossroads."

Nanao put her glasses on and said, "Indeed. A chip that installs in your neck, thereby creating an obedience program that travels into your brain area syntax, changing their memories and body control, making them into lifeless brainwashed soldiers. OH! Suppose that the chip also inherits muscle mass!"

Kitsurubami answered, "No. It doesn't. Just reroutes your brainwaves and nerves and making them submissive. And what is worse is that Akari and Enju… they've changed, too. I can feel it. When Momochi vanished, her brainwaves faded out, and the chip rearranged her personality. Meaning…"

Yamabuki whimpered, "Meaning… Myu-Myu's gone…"

Ricka sobbed, "…forever…"

Myu, with her pink hair flowing down, was in her uniform, as she saluted, "Private Momochi reporting for duty, Commander!"

Amarao said, "Excellent! Ladies, you have your orders! Commence!"

Akari, Enju, & Myu marched off, as Amarao grinned evilly. It was worse than they'd thought! Kitsurubami was right. Amarao turned them into his own super soldiers.

He then added, "And also, see if you can get their measurements for their fitted uniforms. Do it, after we have detained Araya and Suou."

A soldier said, "And what of the others?"

Amarao said, "Not sure. But if they intervene… Oust them."

The soldier saluted, "Yes, sir."

XXXXX

Johnny growled, "Well, I'm not going to stand by and let Amarao win! Even if he is your boss, I won't let him take our friends away!"

Kazuki shouted, "Me, too! And that's coming from him!"

Nanao said, "I'm with you, all the way!"

Cy giggled, "Me, too, onii-chan!"

Yamabuki smiled, "I'm going to get the others back!"

Kitsurubami smiled and said, "Right… I guess there's no going back. I'm going to see what is wrong with Commander Amarao… So, here's how we plan… Tonight, you two sneak into the building, undetected. Araya, Suou, since you're the only ninjas left, you two will be searching."

Yamabuki nodded, "Got it."

Kazuki said, "Right. What about you?"

Kitsurubami asked Cy, "Cy, can you deactivate yourself?"

Cy said, "I may… But if you like, I can tell you where to turn me off."

Kazuki asked, "Huh? You're going to turn off Cy?"

Kitsurubami said, "Relax. It'll look like I captured the rest. Machiyuki, Spicer, Kashima, and Tokakushi will be my captive prisoners. But it'll look like we're infiltrating the base. Do not worry. I smell something fishy about this. You two prepare in two hours. I'll take care of the first part, and you do the rest."

Kazuki said, "Right. Come on, Yamabuki."

They dashed off, as Cy was deactivated. Johnny said, "Thanks, babe. I owe you one."

Kitsurubami hissed, "I'll leave you to them, if you stop calling me "babe"!"

He sobbed, "Nani?"

Nanao huffed, "Let it go, Johnny! She hates your guts! No girl will ever like you!"

Ricka sighed, "Plain vanilla."

Johnny barked, "Ricka, you, too?"

Ricka scoffed, "Meh."

Kitsurubami smiled, "Thank you. Now… Try to make it look real."

Nanao asked, "Huh? How so-?"

SOCK!
She knocked out Nanao, Johnny, and Ricka, and tied them up. She held Cy over her shoulders and said, "Well, time to go. Forgive me for this, you guys… But I'll find out what went wrong in this mission. I don't like this, one bit."

She returned to base, as she saluted, "Ladies, Lieutenant Kitsurubami reporting from duty. Mission complete. I have captured four of the ninja girls' interlopers, including Machiyuki."

One soldier said, "Welcome back, Lieutenant."

The second soldier added, "The commander will be pleased. We have the rest of the group. Hanao, Saion-Ji, and Momochi are under our orders, while Fuma and Yomoda are locked away, frozen solid."

Kitsurubami thought, "Damn you…"

She said, "Uh, Araya and Suou are to come by here, soon. They're the only escapees left. Make sure to let them in, so the Commander will greet them."

They saluted, and walked off. Kitsurubami said, "Good… Now, let's take you to your cell. I don't want Amarao to know…"

She thought, as she was scared, "I'm sorry, sir… Forgive me for defying your orders."

She placed Ricka, Johnny, Nanao, and Cy in a cell together, locking them up. She would return to her Commander to address the situation.

At Amarao's office, Kitsurubami saluted to her commander, "Commander, Lieutenant Kitsurubami, returning from mission."

Amarao said, as he was seated, "Congrats on a job well done, lieutenant."

She said, "Just doing my job, uh, sir."

He then said, as he was turning to her, "You know, while you were away, I was able to get some of those ninja girls. They are located in the underground freezer, encased in ice."

She said, "Well, you'll be happy to know that I got the rest. Kashima, Spicer, Machiyuki, and the android. Suou and Araya, unfortunately…"

He stated, "We'll get them. As for the others… Come in!"

Akari, Enju, and Myu walked in, as they saluted to Kitsurubami. He said, "The rest, however, I made good use of them. Lieutenant, salute to your privates."

She huffed, as she saluted, "Ew…"

She said, "Lieutenant Kitsurubami, ladies."

Akari saluted, "Private Hanao."

Enju saluted, "Private Saion-Ji."

Myu saluted, "Private Momochi."

Kitsurubami looked into their blank eyes, and then thought, "Oh, my lord… He didn't…"

She asked him, "Uh, sir? Why are they-?"

He explained, "I stripped them of their powers, and made them one of us. They are fully obedient. Wouldn't you agree, Private?"

Enju nodded, "Yes, sir. We are ordered to detain the capture of Kazuki Araya."

Akari added, "We are also ordered to detain the capture of Yamabuki Suou."

Myu concluded, "We are also ordered to make use with the rest, in order to fight off against the Vespa Girl."

Kitsurubami whispered, "Like lifeless robot puppets…"

He asked, "What was that?"

She said, "I, uh, nothing… I say that was excellent of you, sir… to use these girls as our own army."

He said, "Indeed. As for the rest, you got Machiyuki set? She has NO ninjutsu… Also, if the android has any ninjutsu, here."

He gave her the ray gun and said, "Use this. Machiyuki is dried out, while the other two are not worthy. I will let you know what we will do with them, shortly… Report to me, if it works."

She saluted, as she said, "Yes, sir. I will be on it."

She left, as Akari, Enju, and Myu waited. As she walked to the door, Amarao said, as he sat back, "Private Momochi. Private Hanao. Once Lieutenant is done, you may take Miss Machiyuki, and report her for reprogramming and refitting."

Akari and Myu bowed, "Yes, sir."

They stepped out, as Enju was standing straight. He said, as he turned to her, "Once our guests arrive. Make sure that you give them a warm welcome."

Enju nodded, "Yes, sir. I will do as you say. Capture Kazuki Araya and Yamabuki Suou."

She walked off, as Amarao chuckled.

Meanwhile, Kitsurubami entered the cell, as Johnny was still out. She then said, as she held the ray gun, "I know it's to get Cy, but… Cy's an android. I don't think this works. Kashima, maybe, but… Spicer is nothing…"

She fired at the motionless Cy, but missed. She whimpered, as she was scared, "No… I can't do it… She's too precious… I don't care if she's a machine…"

She turned to Nanao, as she whispered, "But her… I wonder…"

Akari and Myu appeared, as they saluted. Akari said, "Lieutenant, we are here to obtain Ricka Machiyuki."

Kitsurubami growled, but gave in and said, "Go ahead. As you were, ladies."

She stated, "…as for me, I'm under orders to… ahem… the android…"

Myu nodded, as she held Ricka's legs, "Carry on, Lieutenant."

Akari held her by the shoulders, as they carried her away. As soon as they left, she inadvertently fired at Nanao. She was blasted, and fell down, still unconscious. A green cube appeared and Kitsurubami gasped, "No way… I'm sorry! I had no-, I meant to-, I was trying to-!"

She held the cube, and whispered, "Don't panic… It's probably her nerd culture. She's just a human, with a geek vibe. Yes, Nanao Kashima is really a-."

She absorbed the cube, and felt her energy. She gasped, as she whispered, "What? Oh… my… god…"

She held her hands and said, "She's… Kashima… She's a ninja, too? And she doesn't know? What is this ninjutsu? I felt it within me… Whatever it is, it could be useful."

She turned to Johnny and said, "I know you're out, but… Hear me out. I'm really sorry that this whole thing is happening. Kazuki and Yamabuki are going to save you guys. And when it's over, do not pretend that we knew each other."

She blushed heavily and said, kneeling down, "Johnny… I love you…"

She held his face and kissed him on the lips. She started to lip lock on him, and then Johnny came to. He opened his eyes, and asked, "You… You mean it?"

Kitsurubami smiled and giggled, "I… I meant every word…"

They started to make out, as Kitsurubami somehow woke up Johnny, and suddenly opened up to him. They continued kissing, while Nanao and Cy remained unconscious. And Johnny doesn't even care.

Outside, two hours later, Kazuki and Yamabuki arrived, appearing in the roof. Yamabuki said, as she held up a slip of paper, "I got your back. Let's go in and save our friends."

Kazuki held the Kamuy, his katana, and said, "When I see his ugly face, I'm going to hack off those nori eyebrows!"

Yamabuki stated, "Uh, he doesn't even have eyebrows. You know?"

He sighed, "I knew that. But let's go in and get these girls out of here, at once!"

She cheered, "Yeah!"

They snuck into the roof, as they prepared to do battle with Commander Amarao. But they're due for a HUGE surprise.
