The next day, Lan and company were walking through the forest, as Tohka was viewing the gem that she had, as the glow suddenly start to dim. She then thought that the power is fading.

"Strange…" she replied, "The powers in it… I cannot detect it."

Lan asked, "Something wrong?"

She responded, "The gem… It's losing energy."

Anode asked, "Is it bad?"

"Yes and no. If the gem dies out, then we'll lose the trail. We have to hurry and find it!" Tohka responded.

Lan said, "Indeed. Please hurry."

Ginti said to him, "You're super serious about this, are you?"

Lan explained, "Yes. Shiina's dead, and we have to stop Sonia!"

Cathode giggled, "I know. You're so brave!"

Ginti asked, "Tohka, do you have any idea where the hideout is?"

Tohka replied, "No idea. But the higher the glow, the closer we'll be. And if Origami shows up, we'll do everything to stop her, no mercy."

Anode shivered, "That name… I wish we'd meet her and stop her…"

Tohka said, "I suggest you don't. Don't forget… If Sonia and Mio win, we're doomed. That also means that Origami won, too, and Shiina died for nothing."

Cathode added, "I think you meant that Shiina's death will be in vain, if we fail."

Lan was worried, as he thought, "Yui…"

Cathode looked at Lan, as she thought, "He's too worried about his robot lover. I wish I could meet this Yui, face-to-face, and maybe learn more. I wonder… Is she like me, or is she different?"

All she could think about is her relationship with Lan, and what would happen, if they find Yui. The group kept walking through the path, with Tohka leading.

Meanwhile, in the hideout, Sonia was instructing Luna and Yuno, who were finishing up the preparations of Origami. Origami was standing in position, with her chest open, without her arms, and with no gem inside her. Yuno said that her power cell is almost ready. Sonia replied, "Good. Mio Stelar will take it from here. For now, you two, I have an important task. I want you to find the group that Lan is with… He is with four other people, and is close to finding Yui."

Yuno asked, "Master… Suppose he comes to destroy you?"

She replied, "Let him. If he chose to destroy me, he'll have to go through my new doll. Right, Origami?"

Origami said nothing. She was still standing straight. Sonia said, "Right. Yuno, Luna, do not fail me. Queen Mio wants her rule. Do not defy me, like Maylu did."

Luna bowed, "Understood, Master."

Yuno smiled, "Yes, my master…"

Sonia barked, "Now, begone from my sight!"

They zipped off into the shadows, as Sonia approached Origami. She smiled evilly, as she stroke her white hair. She whispered, "Soon, Tobiichi… You will wake up, under a new rule. This is a brand new rule, for a perfect world. Soon, you'll be perfect… likewise all of us. Lan Hikari… he's imperfect… We can make him perfect."

She held her head and kissed her lips. Sonia whispered, "Soon, Lan Hikari… You're mine…"

Meanwhile, in a small room, Yui was still in pieces, as Geo suddenly was inside. He approached her upper body and held her up straight. Geo unzipped his suit, halfway, and hugged Yui's face, deep within his bosom. Geo closed his eyes, blushing.

"Yui-Bot…" he responded, "Wake up…"

He placed Yui down, as he said, "You're so adorable. You should be a perfect fit to our cause. Too bad that you'll have to be dismantled, and then reprogrammed…"

He laid Yui down and said, "Rest easy, Yui-Bot."

Sonia appeared, as she barked, "Mio Stelar!"

Geo bowed and said, "Master."

"Don't Master me! What were you doing to Yui?"

"Nothing. I was warming her up."

"With your warmth? You stupid raving fool… Yui-Bot must be rebuilt to obey us. Sadly, we have no gem to revive her. But who cares! She's a useless machine."

Geo bowed and said, "If you say so."

Sonia roared, "WHOSE SIDE ARE YOU ON?! "If you say so…" Bullshit! I have lots of faith for Queen Mio, and the perfect world I have to create!"

"Understood, Master. My master."

"Uh, you feeling okay?"

"Yes, Master. I am feeling okay…"

She suddenly felt worried, as she asked, "Uh, Mio Stelar… perhaps you need a new gem to recalibrate your systems."

Geo responded, "No, I am not. I am perfectly operational."

"Unlike Queen Mio. How is she, by the way?"

"She is fully built. But her gem needs recharging. We cannot risk her being on, right now. Master Echo…"

He held Sonia's hand and said, "We can do it. Queen Mio will be alright."

Sonia asked, "While we're on the topic, did you do like I asked, Mio Stelar?"

"Yes, Master." Geo said, "Lan Hikari has fallen into our trap. All that is left is to kill his entourage."

"Yes. We eliminate Origami's rivals, and his new friends… And after that, Queen Mio can rule our worlds… all for us…"

"Indeed, Master. We are to be a perfect race."

"Yes."

Sonia held Geo's body and blushed. She suddenly whispered, "Geo… Kiss me… I miss you so much."

Geo spoke in his normal voice, as he held Sonia's face, "Sonia…"

Most of their past memories were coming and going, still under a spell, in which Geo is trying to control his body again, while Sonia was trying to break free, after her past resurfaced. They started to kiss and make out, as Sonia smiled, "It's not the same, without Mio, up-and-running. Geo… Hold me. I'm lonely, after what that bitch did to her."

Geo said, "I'll make it up to you."

Sonia turned to Yui's body and said, "Yui…"

She placed Yui's upper body back up, and then smirked evilly, "I am feeling lonely… As a matter of fact, you watch… we fuck."

Geo held Sonia tight and kissed her neck. They began to make out and kiss, all in front of a motionless and deactivated Yui, who remains in pieces. As they continued to kiss, Yui's eyes started to produce tears. A lone tear rolled down her face, from her left eye, as she was sad. Her voice echoed from inside, "Lan… … … Help me…"

Lan gasped, as he heard Yui's voice. He whispered, "Yui…"

Ginti asked, "You okay?"

Lan said, "I'm fine. It's just-."

"I know. We all want this to end."

"Of course. Tohka, you have to hurry. If we don't find the hideout of where Sonia is-!"

Tohka responded, "I'm trying! But this damn thing is fading out! I can't tell where the damned place is! Could the power source be diminishing?"

Cathode said, "Maybe Sonia is already destroyed by Origami…"

Ginti added, "Or maybe Sonia is finding a new power source, since her current one is wearing out."

Anode then sobbed, "Or… … …maybe… Maybe it's a trap!"

Yuno called out, "How positive of you to guess~!"

Luna and Yuno appeared from above a tall tree, as Lan gasped, looking up. He cried, "YOU!"

Ginti cried, "It's them!"

Lan asked, "Huh? Luna Platz?! No… Not you, too…"

Anode yelled angrily, "YOU IDIOT! YOU SAY THAT, ALREADY?"

Lan said, "Sorry… It's been long since I last saw her."

Luna winked, "Hi, Lan, you imperfect waste of space. We meet again."

Yuno giggled, "We have strict orders of killing you, Lan Hikari. But Master wants your friends to die…"

Luna smirked, "And I see you have more…"

Yuno said, "We are big fans of you two, Anode and Cathode Electronica…"

Anode blushed, "Aw, thanks~!"

Cathode whispered, "Idiot. They're evil!"

"I know. But also fans, even as controlled freaks."

"Anode… They want us dead!"

Tohka roared, "Enough of this shit! What did you do to the gems?"

Luna smiled, as Yuno prepared to fight. Luna said, "We're not telling you."

Yuno added, "That's right. We cannot fail… Not in front of you imperfect rejects…"

Anode sobbed, "And you admired us, before you get to kill us? That's cold!"

Cathode huffed, "Way cold!"

Ginti said, "You two step back. Lan, leave these two to us."

Tohka said, "Just protect the girls. We'll hold them off, you head to the hideout."

Yuno held her sword up and said, "…even if you could, you're far too late."

Luna laughed, "We won't tell you where it is. The only thing you can do, at this point, is die."

Lan growled, "You tell Sonia that she's a dead woman! Ginti, Tohka, kick their asses!"

Anode yelled, "And if you wanted an autograph from us, forget it!"

Lan hollered, "MUST YOU BE THAT DENSE, STUPID?"

Anode shivered, "Sorry."

Ginti and Tohka prepared to fight, as Luna smirked, "Your move…"

Ginti ran towards the controlled girls, as Luna lands a swift kick to his chest. He falls down, as Tohka clash swords with Yuno. Anode and Cathode hid behind Lan, as they were scared. Lan said to them, "You know, you should fight with them."

Cathode blushed, as Anode said, "Sorry. We're lovers, not fighters. And NO, we're not gay! That was a figure of speech."

Tohka slashes at Yuno's chest, but she dodged out of the way. Yuno struck back with an upward diagonal strike. Tohka was hit, while Ginti was being pummeled by Luna. He groaned, "Too… strong…"

Luna punched his face and said, "Aw… Did it hurt? Tough beans, you hunk in jeans!"

He kicked her off of him, as he replied, "Not that funny!"

He grabbed her hair and clutched his fist tight, "This is for Mugi."

He socked her in the face. Tohka was on her knees, as she was fuming in anger. She still remembered how Shiina was killed by Origami. Yuno struck back. She sent her body into a tree, and then Yuno lunged at her. Tohka rolled out of the way, as Yuno's sword impaled into the tree. Lan shouted, "GO FOR THE GEMS! It's their weakness!"

Tohka cried, "MORON! We know that! But it's not much of a weakness, if we remove them, forcefully!"

Ginti and Luna continued to brawl, as he cried, "Yeah, but… They won't open for us!"

Luna clasped his neck and said, "But even still… Master Echo and Queen Mio made us perfect. And we can't do a GemStar striptease for you imperfect noobs."

Yuno cried, "EW! I refuse to strip down naked!"

"And show your bare circuitry?"

"Ohhhh… That. My gem is my heart."

"Atta girl!"

Yuno blushed, as she held her hands to her face, doing a dreamy yandere giggle and look. She smiled and said, in a creepy voice, "Oh, Sonia… Mio… I would do anything to kill them. I'll protect them, with all my love… Master Sonia… I will protect you. I will protect you, your highness… Right, Mio?"

Anode shivered in fear, "That's not normal…"

Cathode cried, "She's psycho!"

She swung her sword in a rapid swing, straight at Ginti. He kept dodging and avoiding the sword strikes, as Yuno was smiling in malice. She giggled, "Obey Sonia! Obey Sonia! Obey Sonia! Yah, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!"

He dropped to his knees, panting and sweating. He was trembling, "She's… She's inhuman. She's not even a human being, anymore."

Lan cried, "STUPID! She's an android!"

Cathode corrected, "Correction: an android, who was modified from her normal human form."

Tohka cried, "GINTI!"

Luna smiled, as she said to Tohka, "Oh, now, now… You wouldn't try to protect him, would you?"

Yuno giggled, as she slashed at Ginti's body. He was struck in the chest. Yuno smiled, "You care for your outdated girlfriend? I can be your lover, Ginti… I want you. And we can protect Queen Mio and Master Echo, together… She praises me. And I want them, more than you."

Yuno stabbed her sword to his right leg. He screamed, "GAAAAAAAAAAH!"

Lan cried, "NO!"

Tohka tried to save him, but Luna lands a severe kick to the spinal area. She dropped to the ground, moaning and seething. She was still livid, for what happened, recently. Luna offered her a few more seconds, before the final blow. Tohka growled, "You bitches from hell… YOU! You're going to pay! YOU! SONIA! MIO! ORIGAMI!"

Luna asked, "Who?"

Yuno laughs psychotically, with her eyes bugging out, "HA, HA, HA, HA, HA, HA, HA, HA! YOU WANT TO GET TO OUR MASTER, WE'LL MAKE SURE YOU DON'T GET TO HER!"

Yuno strangles Ginti in the neck, as Tohka growled, "Don't play stupid! Origami killed Shiina… My sister!"

Luna asked, "Ohhhhh… Her. I think we can safely assume that she's dealt with."

"Huh?"

"Your sister is dead… and so's Origami… But that's okay. You got your revenge, after all."

"Who killed her?"

"Did I say killed? I meant… wounded. But that's fine. She willfully obeys us, now…"

"You lie!"

"Maybe… Maybe not…"

Luna then approaches a terrified Tohka, as Luna smirked, "Don't you think that you should be grateful, after everything that is going on? I hate to assume… and I love to burst your bubble… but this Origami saved you from a certain fate. Shiina dies… but you have to learn…"

Tohka swung her sword at Luna, but she ducked out of the way. She roared, "Learn what? Everything you say, now and forever, is garbage! Your tricks and wiles won't affect me!"

Luna said, "Oh, yeah? Well, while Yuno takes care of your new boyfriend-."

"HE'S NOT MY BOYFRIEND!"

She swung downwards at Luna. Luna dodged out of the way, and added, "…I can enjoy ruining you… all for Origami's pleasure. And Lan…"

She winked, "I'm looking forward to how you'll fail."

Tohka cried, "JERK! Tell me what you know!"

Luna smiled, "Oh, Origami would be happy for me… since she's on our side, unlike Shiina… who is using you… for us."

"What?" Lan gasped.

"How did she get that gem, in the first place?" Luna asked, "Just how?"

Tohka growled, as Luna continued, "Well, Shiina was worthless, from the start… but it's all from A to Z. She deserved to die…"

She cackled, as her eyes bugged out, in a demonic look, "YOU UNDERSTAND ME? SHE DESERVED IT, BECAUSE SHE'S WORTHLESS! AND SHE'S USING YOU TO LET YOU JOIN IN ON THE SLAUGHTER! She's dead! And she used all of you, including Lan Hikari! You're all good as dead!"

Anode sobbed, "No…"

Lan roared, "You lie! Shiina was helping us! She found the gem-!"

"Incorrect." Luna smiled, "I believe… that was a spare gem, given to her, by our Master… Suckers!"

Tohka was seething in anger, as she growled, "No… Shiina… It's not true… She would never turn on us! It's not true!"

Luna cackled, "AHHHH, HA, HA, HA, HA, HA, HA, HA! YUNO! FINISH HER OFF! AH, HA, HA, HA, HA, HA!"

Yuno grasped Ginti's neck, tightly. Lan raced to him, as Yuno pulled out the sword from Ginti's wounded leg. She swung at him, but Lan dodged out of the way, falling to the dirt. He moaned, as Yuno laughed, "You deserve to die, like that traitor, Shiina… She's worthless!"

Tohka cried, "NO! I DON'T BELIEVE IT!"

Luna laughed, "Believe it… Sonia rules all, and Shiina let her win! You lose, you worthless sister!"

She laughed and cackled, as Luna continued to pester at Tohka. Tohka snarled, as Luna laughed, "OH, NO! Is that the face of vengeance? Aw, that's too bad!"

She dashed towards Tohka and hollered, "NOW, DIE!"

Tohka shrieked in extreme anger, "YOU SON OF A BITCH!"

SLASH!
Luna was severely slashed in chest, as she gasped in horror. Luna croaked and gagged, as her chest was ripped open, revealing her gem. Luna sobbed, "No… … … My… … gem…"

Tohka panted heavily, as Luna was on her knees, looking at her huge cut from her chest. She wept in fear, "No… But how… That's… Impossible… I'm indestructible!"

Tohka said nothing. She decapitated Luna, and then slashed her body into pieces. Her entire body was reduced to pieces, as Yuno was shocked.

"Luna…" she whimpered, "No…"

Her gem dropped to the ground, and Tohka smashed it with her foot. She whispered to Lan, "Forgive me, Lan…"

Yuno sobbed, "You… You killed her…"

She snarled, as she had a demonic look, "You… You bitch! You killed her! We offered you a perfect world, since Shiina used you! We want to make you join us, and get revenge on the one who killed your sister!"

Tohka barked, "Don't play on to your crap! Your lies won't work on me!"

She hollered, "BASTARDS!"

She slashed onto Yuno's chest, leaving a small nick. She barely dodged out of the way. Yuno tried to escape, but Lan slammed her in the back, with a knee to the back. Tohka swung and slashed onto Yuno's body. She groaned, "No way… Sonia! Mio! They're scary!"

Anode helped Ginti up, as Lan said, "Yuno! I will never forgive you! Shiina was helping us! She would never work with slaves like you!"

Yuno groaned, as she held her left arm, "This isn't over. Luna wasn't kidding! There's a traitor amongst you! Figure it out! Who was it that gave Shiina the gem, in the first place? Shiina betrayed you… THEY'LL ALL START BETRAYING YOU!"

The others were confused, as Tohka glared, "Liar… YOU FUCKING BITCH!"

She swung down, but Yuno dodged out of the way. She ran off, as she called, "COME GET ME! MIO! SONIA! I NEED HELP!"

She continued to run, laughing loud and demonic. Lan groaned, "Damn you!"

Tohka said, "Her lies… her fabrications. There is just no way. Shiina found the gem. She wasn't siding with the enemy."

Anode sobbed, "But what now? Someone died!"

Tohka said, "I know. And I can't have her live, long enough. Something inside her was starting to cry. It was her soul. She wanted to die, more than be Sonia's slave."

Lan asked, "It is?"

Ginti moaned, "What difference does it make? We're not even sure that Yuno's telling the truth. I am not buying her act."

Tohka said, "Neither do I. But… luckily for her… I think she may tell us where the hideout is!"

She dashed off, as Lan cried, "HEY, WAIT!"

Tohka called, "SHE WENT THAT WAY! Stay as far as you can, and avoid contact!"

Lan and Ginti chased after her, as Anode and Cathode followed. Anode gagged in sickness, "That was gross…"

Cathode said, "Yeah. But it's almost over."

They continued to pursue Yuno, but Yuno was actually hiding behind another tree, near Luna's dead body. She smirked, "Fools. Even I know when to play tricks, as well. Sonia, Mio…"

Yuno dashed off, as she concluded, "Besides… Those idiots are going the wrong way! AH, HA, HA, HA, HA, HA, HA, HA, HA, HA, HA!"

Yuno escaped to Sonia and Mio's hideaway. But little does she know… a figure in a black cloak and hood was watching from above. Her eyes glowed red, as she whispered, "So… It's happening… What is going on?"
