Following the events of Asahi's time travel AND Peter's confrontation towards Mistress Makie and Mal, The Gang, back in AAW HQ, was greeted by a guest. It was Ayaka Yukihiro, as she explained why she died on New Year's, a while back, but is still alive. She explained that she was a replica, built by Satomi Hakase, before her murder by Miyako Uehara, one of Bog Nougat's followers.

"After I was visited by a person from the future, Satomi, before she was murdered, built robot clones of me, in case I died in battle. Sadly, they work to perfection, but it's very fragile. I am human, but I don't want to die."

Asahi smiled, as she thought, "I saved her future. And that is why she is standing… Only she knows about the box."

She even explained that she knows the knowledge of Bog Nougat, from the 1960s, but farther than that.

"The box you possess, it's a key element in the end… The Devil's Fileware – it is said that the box contains a mysterious power. And moreover, it possesses a huge ESP Perk, in which it is nameless, and that it is a tainted psychic power. However, it is known to be an exact feeling of its same power. The right kind of power, controlling the box, will lead to good intentions; the wrong powers may lead to grave consequences."

Steven C asked, "What'll we do?"

Ayaka said, "I'm going to be on the sidelines, with some of my Mahora Clan remnants, and we'll assist you on preventing the chaos, track down Makie, and stop the worlds from going to Hell."

Steven C said, "You got a deal. Steven Cooke trusts you, since you're a valuable asset to the team."

Peter asked, "So, bra, any idea where it'll strike next?"

Ayaka said, "Knowing Makie, I doubt it. She and Mal are hiding now… so, we wait… Mahora Clan has your back. We promise."

Steven C smiled, "You got it."

They shook hands, as we fast forward to one month later… in which the ISIS Crew, in 2121 Straight Street, was moving in, after they were discharged from the CIA. Archer said, as he was approaching the doorway, "Well, I see that your boss saved our butts."

Lana asked Asahi, "Yeah, Agent Sakurai, I thought Kanaka vanished."

Asahi said, "Well…"

A woman in a blue suit, in long red hair, was sitting in her chair. She was in Kanaka's office, as a man in a suit and black hair, in a beard, said to her in a British accent, as the view showed only the back of his head, "Since Miss Nanase is still MIA, Special Agent Riley, you shall take her place, until she is found. Good luck to you, Special Agent Riley."

The woman said, "Please, sir. My name is Scarlet… Scarlet Riley."

Scarlet Riley
NEW AAW Boss
The Gang's Manager (In-Canon)
AAW Special Agent sent from Interpol
Born in Atlanta
Australian for Boyfriend
Multi-Millionaire Rich Girl

She continued, "Interpol told me all about it. First order of business, following Miss Archer's escapades with now EX-CIA Agent Hawley, who I have disavowed, before their final mission, she and ALL of her allies, including Agents Archer, Kane, Figgis, & Gillette, will now be in AAW's payroll… for the time being. Second order of business, I overheard the story of this chaos, involving The Devil's Fileware… I'm intrigued to know the full story, once the entire disaster is averted."

The boss said, "I see. But I'm afraid I got some BAD NEWS…"

The narrator appeared, as she spoke, as the previous scene went to black and white, "Who knows what is behind the tinted windows of our neighbors' souls? Our heroes certainly don't. They are having a safe and sound break, after the results of the escapades by Mistress Makie, Mal, and the Brotherhood of Bog Nougat, after Asahi Sakurai victory over one of the followers of the evil cult. But soon, YOU, the reader, will know the answers to everything, in this multi-chapter arc, as we unravel from the ball of string in the Big V of Doom, as we reveal the awful secrets… which may change the AAW… forever…"

He showed a dossier, as she read, "No… It can't be…"

She read the reports on a certain mission gone awry… involving Asahi Sakurai, who subdued a Feral Agent in Northwest Plaza. She asked, "But how? How could this have happened? Has one of our own become rogue?"

The boss replied, "There's more to it. I want you to summon The Gang, and get to the bottom of this. And since the little bit with the Psychic Powers is with them, have her tag-along. Agent Dunn will explain, fully."

"Yes, sir." Scarlet said, "But… … …Will it be enough to make Sakurai explain why she destroyed a Feral Beauty agent?"

XXXXX

In Northwest Plaza, Asahi, or rather an imposter, was by the body of an injured Feral Agent. She looked on, in a blush, holding her face, feeling embarrassed. A woman in a black jacket and shades called out, "FREEZE, WANK!"

She gasped, "Hold on… Asahi?"

Michelle Nevins
Feral Beauty Agent (Percival Gaynes' C.O.)
British-born Woman
Steven Nevins' Younger Sister
Closet Lesbian
Skills of Martial Arts and Boxing

Asahi turned to her and said nothing. She zipped away, as Michelle ran to the agent. She called on the small radio, "Agent down! Repeat! Agent down! Get HQ on the call."

She got the call, as she said, "Sir, bring me Agent Gaynes and his robot helper. I believe that he is NOT going to like this."

Act IV: RE-Rise of the Mech Sisters
(or "Trust NO ONE, not even Malicious Software")

At AAW HQ, the next day, Asahi screamed at the new boss, Scarlet, "WHAT?"

She protested, "ARE YOU SAYING I'M BRANDED AS A TRAITOR?"

Steven C said, "Yeah! How can you say that?"

The Gang and June Nevins were in the presence of Scarlet Riley, for the first time. Scarlet said, "I know it's sudden, but I have news of what Miss Sakurai did. According to the reports, handed to my superior, Miss Sakurai was in Northwest Plaza, as she attacked a Feral Beauty Agent, severely."

The Gang gasped, as Asahi sobbed, "No… I'm innocent…"

Scarlet said, "I know you are. Agent Gaynes of FBI agreed with Agent Nevins, who gave the report. He believes that this Asahi is an imposter. All she did was look at her and say nothing. Only Asahi Sakurai would smile and bow to her friends… and I believe that this Asahi Sakurai is an imposter… Gang, A, B, & C-Squads, we've entered the deep end…"

She sat up, as she stated, "Before we continue the mission, I have an important announcement for each of you… First off – Item One – My name is Scarlet Riley, I'm an AAW Special Agent from Interpol, assigned by your boss, Wade Barrett, to replace Kanaka Nanase, temporarily, who is MIA."

Mizuki said, "Hi, how are you?"

Peter smiled, "'sup, bra."

Scarlet continued, "Item Two – I overheard the whole story of this Devil's Fileware, and its caretaker. So, to cut to the chase, you must be June Nevins."

June blushed, as she hid behind Heather's legs. She whispered, "H-H-H-Hello."

Scarlet smiled, "Don't be shy, little one. I won't bite."

Heather huffed, "She's only 12."

"Oh, who asked you?" Scarlet snuffed, and then ordered, "This kid is under your watch. If I know the stories behind this weird and creepy box, from give or take 50 to 60 years, we have her under protection, especially from Mistress Makie, Mal, and others."

She continued, "Item Three – Monsieur Grapplehook is in AAW custody, and knows more of this cult-like bullshit, and he agrees to assist us, if anything goes awry. If any problems on this case, during this main case of this Asahi Imposter, come see him, because, god help me, I have no clue what the hell that box or what this Bog Nougat is. Item Four – this is addressed to Agents Cooke & Stevens, B-Squad. No, former B-Squad."

She concluded, "Or should I say "A-Squad"?"

Steven and Farra gasped, as Scarlet told them, "You two, for your continuous services in Aliiance Across the World, and the fact that the rest of these lazy good-for-nothings were MIA, during the Hunie Buc case, Mr. Barrett, your superior, has promoted you to A-Squad."

Farra smiled, "I'm flattered. Thanks for the promotion."

Steven C cheered, "ALRIGHT! STEVEN COOKE WINS!"

She roared, "HEY, DOUCHEBAG! I'M A-Squad, too, ya know!"

"I knew that." Steven said.

Scarlet barked, "And I want NO MORE of this bickering between you! Agent Stevens is no better on hands than Agent Kane."

Farra smirked, "At least she can crush a billiard ball. I can't."

Scarlet said, "And since we're doing promotions, we're doing DE-motions. Because Item Five – Agent Takase, you are relieved of your leadership as B-Squad."

Mizuki beeped, "Error! This does not compute!"

She yelled, "You mean, I'm out of AAW?"

Scarlet said, "NO! I mean, you are no longer leader of B-Squad, but that Robot Gene, as you call it, is uncontrollable; but you're still a part of B-Squad. So, I'm giving leadership role of B-Squad, away."

Heather asked, "To who? Me?"

Asahi said, "I should be leader, but I cannot, since I've joined, for months."

Steven C stated, "And Farra and I are promoted, but Heather, aside from being the mother of The One, is unqualified."

Peter stated, "Yeah. And I-."

Scarlet interrupted, "…am promoting you to B-Squad ranks, at the highest honor. And also, since Agents Dunn and Sakurai are not high enough in the ranks…"

They gasped, as Peter asked, "Wait… What, me? ME, as Leader of AAW B-Squad?"

Heather & Asahi roared, "WHAAAAAAT?!"

Steven C, Farra, & Mizuki yelled, "HIM?"

Scarlet said, as she smirked, "You have a problem with that?"

He cleared his throat, as he stated, "Well, Miss Riley, lemme just say-."

He danced his Gyudon Ondo, with a smile on his face.
"Great Tasting Gyudon for 300 years!
It's quick, and it's tasty, and it's very cheap~!
Ha-HA!"
BONK!
(A cow bonks on Peter's head)

Mizuki huffed, "Don't ask. He is mothed that way."

Peter bellowed, "He no tsuppari wa iran desu yo!"

Luzer perched outside, as he added, "Wow! I don't understand what he said, but what confidence! Seriously, I don't speak Japanese…"
He flew away, as Mizuki asked, "So, he is leader, removing me?"

She smiled, "No problem. If this power I have is faulty, I'll have to give reigns to someone, other than – system scan complete; ID data found – Sorry."

Scarlet said, "You should have that checked. Anyway, I want you guys to check out what is going on. Makie's work, Mal's work, hell, it could be Slater's work. Who was it that rescued your ISIS buddies, a while back?"

Steven C said, "We're happy you did that, but you didn't have to go that far to blacklist Agent Hawley."

Scarlet smiled, "Well, knowing the plans he and Slater made, and since they were responsible for spending their payroll on a tonne of cocaine, I had to tattle."

Farra barked, "Really? Because I thi-!"

"END!" Scarlet yelled, "Of discussion. You have your orders, all of you. Guard the kid with your life, and the box, and find the imposter."

A siren was made, as Mizuki scanned on the iPhone, "Uh, ma'am…"

"WHAT?" Scarlet cried.

Mizuki replied, "We got a BIGGER problem…"

XXXXX

At Steffi's, Julie, dressed in her red flannel shirt and dark jeans, ran out of the diner, as she shrieked, "STOP IT! OW! WHAT THE FUCK, EH?"

Steffi threw dishes at her, as she yelled, "I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU MADE ME FIRE BRY-DOG!"

"WHAT ELSE WAS I GONNA DO?"

"HOW WAS I SUPPOSED TO KNOW HE WAS A CYBORG AGENT?"

"Cy-Bo-Div! And will you calm down? I said I was sorry!"

"NO! NO, YOU DON'T MEAN THAT! YOU ASSHOLE!"

Steffi continued to pelt at Julie, as Archer and his friends were running to Steffi's, screaming in fear. Archer shouted, "STEFFI!"

Lana called out, "HELP US OUT!"

Julie and Steffi called to them, "WE'RE CLOSED!"

The ISIS group jumped inside the diner, as Ray called, "Really? Tell that to THEM!"

A horde of Mecha Rinrins and Mech Sisters appeared, walking down the dark street, as Julie gasped, "Holy… My god, what is that?"

They went closer, as Steffi grabbed her arm, "I don't know… They must be customers… or some of those evil robot girls of Makie's…"

"Robots? Talk aboot ironic."

"Oh, yeah, Julie? Here's another thing that is ironic… RUN!"

They jumped inside, as the Rinrins glowed in a demonic red aura, with their eyes black and their irises blood red. Archer and his friends barricaded the door, as Julie grabbed some plywood. Pam, a huge woman in blonde hair and an orange dress, put up the Closed sign on the door, as Ray and Cyril hammered the nails, holding the plywood up, to prevent the robots from breaking in. The robot girls surrounded the diner, as they walked around, humming lightly.

Steffi yelled, "WHAT THE FUCK! WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON?"

Cyril panicked, "That was close."

Julie said, "Yeah, guys, why did you barge in, like it's some sort of Night of the Living Dead?"

Lana stated, "Okay… Here's the thing…"

XXXXX

"WHAT?" Steven C cried, "The Mech Sisters are back?"

Mizuki said, "I got a text from Agent Archer. He said that he and his allies have met up with the demonic robots."

"Demonic?" Farra barked, "But that's impossible! Rinrin, their creator, shut them down, and had them working to prevent Mal or any dark force control them."

Mizuki stated, "True, but maybe someone, meaning the Asahi Imposter, wants to bring the Mann Co. bitches back. Do you think it might've been Makie? Mal would never do a repeat performance."

Heather said, "Those two really want June. I can tell."

Peter said, "And they have mutual hatred for Haruka, the original savior. I understood Mal, being of Haruka's own secret powers, but what does Makie have to do with all this?"

Asahi said, "I scavenged AAW Files, and learned that Makie almost had her, during a disaster at a Mahora Clan front, which was a casino, on New Year's Day. Ayaka Yukihiro was a casualty, but her body was robotic, since she planned it; only other casualty was Nodoka Miyazaki, who barely survived the demolition of the rogue casino. Seems that Makie blames Haruka for foiling her plans, that day."

Mizuki got the message from Archer, as she said, "Good. They're safe, for now, but they're surrounded. Agents Archer, Kane, Figgis, and Gillette, and three others are hiding in Steffi's, with Julie and Steffi. But the robots won't go away."

Scarlet asked, "Who are the other three?"

Mizuki said, "Okay. Agent Archer's buddies in ISIS: Pamela Poovey, Cheryl or Carol Tunt, and Doctor Algernop Krieger. Apparently, we had seven more tenants to our free home-slash-hideaway-slash-safehouse, thanks to Ex-Agent Hawley's stupid plan."

"It's not a safehouse, if it's there," June replied, "I mean, I know where it is."

Heather said, "Yeah, Miz! Plus, it's near Straight and Narrow, and a few of the people we met know of the location."

Steven C said, "Well, we'll have them handle this, themselves. Leave NO AAW Agent behind. Our first priority is to find this Asahi Sakurai Imposter, and make her confess to her evil deeds."

"That will not be necessary, Agent Cooke," Percival appeared, along with Michelle and Eri.

"Agents Gaynes and Nevins… and that, uh-." Scarlet saluted.

Eri bowed, "Eri. Or E.R.I.; I am an Experimental-."

"Oh, no one cares." Scarlet huffed, "And also, shut up. I summoned Agent Gaynes and Nevins here, to help out this predicament, aside from the Mech Sisters being returned."

"We overheard," Percival said, "After Michelle contacted HQ, she was visited by a Mecha Sakuya, who blushed for her. And then, a Mecha Haruka attacked her."

"I had to escape, before they tried anything." Michelle spoke.

Scarlet said, "Good to hear. Anyway, I have a major mission for all of you. If we are to stop ALL THIS, being Mistress Makie, Mal, the Devil's Fileware, and this Mech Sister epidemic, chances are, we'll have toned down this mission."

Percival said, "The cities are not safe here. So, we'll split into groups of two, in Northwest Plaza, the site of where the event took place. Sources say that the imposter of Asahi Sakurai is still at large, and has not left the city. And to ask, we know that that wasn't Asahi Sakurai, since she is usually nervous and a bit of a polite talker."

Asahi bowed and said, "Sorry. At least you knew it was me."

Percival said, "If we don't stop her, it'll mean disastrous consequences… and that would mean Miss Sakurai will be kicked out of AAW, for betrayal and treason."

They gasped, as Asahi shouted, "YOU CAN'T DO THAT! I belong here… with my friends!"

Mizuki replied, "True that, but the sooner we stop this imposter, the better. We cannot risk going in, alone."

Michelle said, "Right. Since there are 10 of us, we'll split into groups of two, each with its own Gang Girl. Percival will take Heather, while I watch over June. Eri will mind Asahi, Peter will take Farra, and Steven will guard Mizuki."

Farra asked, "You mean Big Guy, him, is watching me?"

Heather barked, "And why did you have to guard us Gang Girls, with the men and robots?"

Percival said, "I hate to break it to you… but…"

He told him that the Asahi Imposter was NOT the only one. An agent in LSAAWS spotted an exact female that resembles Farra. And she snapped the neck of the intern agent, in a dark alley. Farra griped, as she roared, "WHOEVER PLAYED AS ME WILL FEEL THE WRATH OF GOD! I MAY BE PSYCHOTIC, BUT I'D NEVER KILL A PERSON!"

Steven C said, "No, but you are psycho."

Farra strangled Steven C and yelled, "BUT THEN WHAT THE HELL FOR? MY CAREER IS IN DANGER! I HAVE NO TIME FOR YOUR BULLSHIT!"

Peter called to her, "EASY, DUDE! Farra, we got this. Percival will mind Heather and June, as I'll watch over you."

Farra snarled, "Whoever it is… posing as me… they will suffer by the fiery bird of The Gang!"

Scarlet gave her a pistol and said, "You are A-Squad, now. If you find your doppelganger, kill her."

Farra nodded, "Yes, ma'am. But I don't need a gun. I have this."

She held up her blue Gibson SG, and bellowed, "This beauty never failed me in battle. One fried Farra Stevens Imposter, coming up! You don't know how long I waited…"

Percival explained to Scarlet, quietly, "Secretly, before they joined us, Farra was mocked by Cecelia Cooke, who posed as her. But she was found out, when she played guitar solos, very badly."

"Whoa… Sucks to be Cecelia, huh?" Scarlet said.

Percival whispered, "Well, Farra knew that it might happen again. And ever since she had Floné, her evil alter-ego, her psychotic tendencies have increased."

Farra snickered evilly, as Peter asked, in fear, "Uh, can I trade?"

XXXXX

"NO!" Julie yelled.

Cheryl/Carol, in her pink blouse and skirt, with her red hair done in a bun, called, "YES! Get me something to eat!"

Julie was too busy barricading the doorway, as the Mecha Sisters tried to get in. Julie barked at her, "Look, uh, what's her name?"

She said, "It's Cheryl… or Carol… It doesn't matter, anyway. They're all the same."

"Exactly. Look, what's-ya-name, I would love to feed you, but we're closed for the night, AND we're having problems!"

Cheryl/Carol smirked, "Who are you, Iron Butterfly?"

Julie sighed, as she was annoyed. Pam gave Cheryl a bread roll, as she said, "Seriously… Listen, these androids are pure evil. Whatever happened, I can take them."

Archer said, as he was sitting with Lana and Cyril, in a booth, "Uh, Pam, there are like thousands of these Mecha Sisters."

"So?" Pam barked.

Lana added, "And, believe it or not, there are HUGE robots of bears, too. How are you going to stop them, by yourself?"

Pam huffed, "Make them hunt for picnic baskets. Worked for Yogi Bear."

Steffi said, "Well, first of all, they are robot girls…and second, I don't think they eat."

Pam replied, "Exactly."

Cyril is shaken, as Lana said, "Cyril, calm down. We can make this."

Cyril sobbed, "Easy for you to say… We're stuck in AAW, with The Gang, and we're coming back, being surrounded by a bunch of robotic whores!"

An Aria appeared on the window, "So… naughty… Mon Frere…"

Cyril shrieked, as Lana pushed Aria away, "GET BACK! GET THE FUCK BACK!"

She shut the window, as Cyril was balled in a corner, sucking his thumb. Archer snuffed, "Baby."

Lana said, "Archer. Listen, we have to get out of here, but we're stuck, until The Gang comes to rescue us."

"Right… But didn't you sent them the message?"

"Rather than YOUR stupid voicemail…"

She held the phone, as she dialed The Gang. Mizuki's voice was made, as she spoke in a robotic voice, "The phone services of. Mizuki Takase. Are currently offline. Please leave a message, after the beep. To summarize, this is not a hoax… nor this is an: Elaborate. Voicemail. Hoax. Thank you. Have a nice day."

Lana sighed, "At least she's honest… Stupid powers."

She called, "Hey, listen, anybody who gets this, we're kinda trapped, by these evil Mecha Sisters, and we're all trapped here. So, if you are not busy, please come get us… before… Goddamn it."

Archer asked, "Huh? What?"

Lana said, "Wait for it."

The voicemail continued, "Ungh… Whoa, what a head rush. AW, CRAP! Why did I leave my phone on-?"
BEEP!
The phone beeped, as Lana cried, "OKAY! Listen, I know your Android Cell or whatever is acting up, Takase, but lemme make this short and sweet. The Mech Sisters are attacking, we're trapped in Steffi's, and also… Cover your ears…"

They all covered, as Lana shrieked in a huge booming voice, "HELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLP!"

She hung up, and then slammed the phone on the counter. Cheryl/Carol held her ears and moaned, "Ow, my ear balls."

Archer smiled, "Ha-ha, haaa! And they say MY Voicemail Hoaxes are funny."

Lana hissed, "Are you-?"

Steffi called, "Miss Kane, please don't yell in my diner!"

Lana barked, "HOW CAN I? You're closed!"

Cyril said, "And also, going to die… Mech Sisters… Mon Freres… Oh, my god… Mon Freres… Framboise… Nightmares…"

He panicked, as Pam giggled, "Annnnnnd he's gone."

Ray barked, "Wha-, NOW WHAT?"

Julie said, "Well, for starters, how about giving me a hand here?"

Lana approached Julie, as she helped nail the boards up. Archer said, as he watched on, "Seriously, we left the CIA, remained in AAW, and… and… Damn it! I had something for this. Something about cyborgs, terrorizing the world…"

Pam snorted, "Dicknuts."

Meanwhile, in Northwest Plaza, the BattleVan and Percival's car was driving to their destination. June was in the backseat of Percival's car, as Eri was driving. Michelle was in the backseat with her. Michelle said, "Soon, little bit, we'll have all the answers. I had a sitter for Beth, in my absence, by the way."

June smiled, "Thank you, Aunt Michelle."

Michelle said, "I'm happy that we're saving the city."

June stared at her, as she asked, "Why do you act like you are being cold?"

She looked at her face, as it showed her eye, which had an LED brown color. She gasped, as she asked Percival, "Uncle Percival, Auntie Michelle is a robot!"

Michelle huffed, as she covered her left eye. Percival said, "NO, she is not."

"Uh, Percival," Michelle asked, "Should I tell her?"

Percival said, "No. She mustn't."

Eri replied, "Forgive me, June. Michelle chose not to talk about her robotic left eye, to which she lost her real eye, long ago."

Michelle barked, "Damn it, woman!"

She growled, as June whispered, "Sorry… … …"

At the BattleVan, Mizuki said, "You know, I never asked her about that eye she had… Michelle, I meant."

Asahi asked, "Huh? How so?"

Mizuki explained, "Her eye has some robotic signals."

Farra stated, "She must've lost that eye, and got a brand-new prosthetic eye."

Mizuki said, "Yeah… … …but I wonder how she lost it?"

Steven asked, "I don't know. Lost an eye, during a mission?"

Farra huffed, "My money's on a masturbation malfunction."

Asahi added, "I was hoping her eye busted a blood vessel."

The Gang pondered about Michelle, as Michelle was shivering in the back seat, in Percival's car. She whispered, "I feel it…"

As the vehicles arrived at the town, a man in a Stetson hat and suit watched on, from a view. He whispered, "So… it begins… again…"

He walked off, heading to the city. Who is this man? And what will happen in Northwest Plaza, as the two imposters of AAW's Gang Girls-.

A woman in long red hair and a purple ribbon was on the roof, as she viewed the dusky sky. She was an exact likeness of Mizuki. She whispered, "My brother…"

And what will happen in Northwest Plaza, as the three imposters of AAW's Gang Girls are terrorizing the city, whilst the evil Mech Sisters haunt Steffi's, outside, prancing around the diner, reaching for Archer and crew.

Meanwhile, at the diner, the sisters walk around, as Julie whispered, "I don't like this. It feels… haunting…"

The girls walked around, as they moaned in a haunting tone. Archer asked, "Dumb broads… It is like they're sacrificing someone… But who and how?"

Steffi asked, "Hey, if you can, Julie, ask if they want to eat, to-go."

Julie grumbled, "No. That sounds so stupid."

Steffi sighed, "Well… I wanted a little late-night service."

"Yeah, but do they eat? NO! And they're demonically inept!"

Archer cried, "GODDAMN IT! GO AWAY!"

The robot girls chanted, "Oooh, ahhhh… ya, ya, ya… ahh, eee, ooo-ooo, agh… Arr, woo, cha-cha-cha…"

Lana gasped, "Are they-?"

Cheryl/Carol clapped, as she cheered, "YAAAAAAAAY! They know Witch Doctor!"

Lana yelled, "Uh, NO! THEY DON'T!"

She said, "Albeit, they DO have some chanting ritual going on, like in other cities… I can tell, since I saw a Rice Ball Cult."

Cheryl/Carol gasped, and she said, "OH! Just like that old gypsy woman said!"

The robots chanted, "Ooh, eee, ooh-ahh-ahh…"

Cheryl/Carol snarled at Lana, "HAAAAAAAAAAAA! I KNEW IT! They sang Witch Doctor!"

Ray barked, "Oh, that's just a coincidence!"

Pam asked, "Is it?"

What purpose do these robots of Rinrin's have planned, and why are they chanting for an unknown demonic source? And if so, who is controlling them?

The Gang, meanwhile, arrived at the city, as Percival stepped out. He said to Michelle, "Michelle, you take June. Eri, The Gang's parking over there. Let's go."

Eri nodded, "Yes, sir."

They stepped out, as June held Michelle's hand. Michelle said, "Stay by me, little bit."

They walked to the BattleVan, as Asahi stepped out. Eri bowed to her and said, "Miss Sakurai. Please come with me."

Asahi stood by her, as Percival said, "Okay, guys. Miss Riley said that we'll split into groups of two. Peter, you side with my wife, Steven, you take Mizuki, Michelle will watch over June, Eri will have Asahi, and I'll mind Heather. Remember, traverse around the city, and notify me, if you find anything strange…"

Farra growled, "Well, if anyone finds the imposter of me or Asahi, what'll we do?"

Percival said, "Stay clear of the imposter. We will need to be in a group effort for this one. If you can't, wing it, and see what this fake Gang Girl is capable of."

Peter said, "If we find her, do you think she knows about the Devil's Fileware?"

Percival said, "Not really."

The radio played, as it explained about the robots in the city, "Repeat – robot females have taken over the city of Northwest Plaza. Details, at this time, remain sketchy, but we have reason to believe that these girls are breaking into people's houses, stealing children's toys."

Farra nodded, "Only one thing these robots want in Northwest Plaza… and the only toys we know of…"

They said in unison, "The EXE Factors!"

Farra said, "Now… How do we stop this Robolacra?"

"Huh? Robolacra?" Heather asked.

"It's more of a zombie attack of doppelgangers. Plus, the Mech Sisters invasion here was very awful."

Steven said, "We're going to end the evil invasions. Steven Cooke hopes we end this. But hopefully, we can stop this evil robot attack, with June on our side. Unfortunately, we have a bigger problem."

Peter said, "Farra and I will go find the disturbance in the north. You guys do whatever you want."

Steven smiled, "Good thinking. Let's have it going, in the mission. Alright. We have to stop the Robolacra from stealing the Toys of Power, before they even get to us! GANG! LET'S GO!"

Percival called out, "Dismissed!"

They marched off, by two, in groups of twos. Michelle and June headed to west, while Percival and Eri accompanied Asahi & Heather, due east. Steven and Mizuki walked in the Northeast, as Mizuki said, "Not the same, without Peter, by my side…"

Steven C said, "You'll meet with him, again. He's with his best friend, bosom buddy, and lifelong pal… if you call it their friendship…"

"Indeed. Suppose we could scout around a part of this area, before the goings-on get hectic?"

"We'll see. Mistress Makie, Mal, and our Robot Gang Girls are held responsible, depending on their role. Makie wanted June's psychic powers, while all Mal wants is the Precious Stones of Control, in which you, Big Guy, Farra, & Heather also have."

"Yeah, sorry that you have no pure heart."

"Aw, that's alright. I got a powerful martial art. I won't need that sort of magical power."

They continued, as we cut to Peter & Farra. They walked together, saying nothing. Farra then said, "So, Big Guy… Where's that talking crow, since the whole Sailor Pluto escapade?"

"Oh, he's somewhere. Wherever I go, he follows." He said, "Besides, I summon him, at any time. I don't tend to use him, often. He's usually a coward."

"Not to mention that He-Man Reference."

"I know. The bird is a vulture, since we share a powerful force."

"I know, right? But in any case, we should find that Robo-Asahi and Robo-Me. When we do, we'll thrash their asses!"

"Wait… How can we tell if it's a robot girl?"

"Correction – a robot girl, created by Rinrin and Mann Co. Other than that, I don't know. But I have a hunch that these robot clones of us are Rinrin's own doing, since it's connected to the Mech Sister attack on Agent Archer and crew."

"So, what else is new?"

They spotted a small abandoned building with a huge blue dispenser. Peter asked, "Huh?"

They approached it, as Peter touched it. He said, "Aw, it's empty. I was hoping for FREE health, ammo, cupcakes, clues, and enlightenment."

Farra said, "Nope."

She went to it, and then-.
CLANG!
She smacked the dispenser with a wrench. She said, "Nope."

She explained, "I think it is broken."

He grabbed the wrench and said, "It's NOT POSSIBLE! Lemme try."

CLANG! CLANG! CLANG!
"Put dispenser here!" He called.

Farra huffed, "Peter, give it a rest! It's busted!"

"Whoever built it, must've lost all his marbles… or he must've ran out of metal."

"You know… I think this is a Mann Co. device. I think I recognize this item, during a read of their catalog."

She looked by the side, as she flipped the switch on the back. Suddenly, pineapples!

Peter asked, "Pineapples?"

Sorry. Suddenly, the door opened, and then… pineapples.

Farra yelled at the 4th wall, "HEY, ASSHOLE! Don't kid around!"

A door opened, as a small room is full of pineapples. She said, "Oh."

Beside it, another door was unlocked. Peter said, "Look, Farra. The door, next to the room of pineapples, is open."

Farra grumbled, as Peter opened the door. In it was a huge dark hallway, filled with ambient lighting. Farra said, "Dude… Let's see what's in here."

He said, "Right. Follow that torch trail."

They went inside, as we now cut to Percival and Heather, who went to another area of the city. Heather asked him, "Hey, Step-Bro… I know I'm asking too much, but what's up with you and Michelle? Isn't she your soldier?"

Percival said, "Well, she's more of my commanding officer, but we sometimes alternate. She has more experience in the field than me, but I'm the leading Feral Beauty agent."

"Oh, yes. And the eye she had? How come she had a prosthetic eye? Mizuki kinda brought that up."

He smirked, "Heather… You never know, since it's a real eye. But she really did lose that eye. Michelle… she was like me, and she almost killed Chris McLean, too. But she was the only person to sacrifice her body, all for her duty. Sadly, a robot woman's eye is all she needed, unlike Agent Gillette's robotic legs and black arm."

"Mizuki is working on his bionics. And besides, it's bionics for Agent Gillette, and prosthetics for Michelle."

"Point taken."

"Still, though…"

We now cut to Asahi & Eri. Eri was blushing, as she asked Asahi, "Miss Sakurai, I have a question about your robotic abilities…"

Asahi said, "Well, before you even ask, no, I am not a robot pop idol… but rather a pop idol that can transform into a giant robot."

"Metamorphosis?" Eri gasped.

Asahi snarked, "What am I, Franz Kafka?"

We cut to Michelle and June, as they sat together, in the middle of the city. Michelle sighed, as she was tired, "Man… It's bad enough we had a man down, now we have psychopathic murder-bots, shaped in the form of the Robolacra."

"Bottlegangers." June corrected.

"Huh?"

"That's how I'd call them."

"Go fig."

June asked, "Hey, Auntie Michelle? I was thinking… about your eye…"

Michelle sighed, as she covered her left eye, "You wanted to know, right? Truth of it is that-. Well, I don't think you'd know how I'd lost it."

June laughed, "Of course not! I'm good enough to know about you… So, tell me."

Michelle said, "Okay. But I forget that you're psychic, and that you may know things that I hide… including the fact that I'm-. Well, you'd understand, when you're older."

June sighed, as she said, "I guess. I mean, you'd lose it, because of an accident?"

Michelle said, "What do you think?"

XXXXX

Farra walked down the dark tunnel, as she said, "Seriously… How hard is it to find the evil source in the middle of nowhere?"

"No worries, man," Peter said, "We can handle situations, even tougher than anybody can fathom."

"How so?"

"Well, look at it this way… we could see-."

They arrived at the end of the tunnel, as it showed a very huge room with a domed office, hovering over thousands of pods and machines, connected, each with a name of each Mech Sister. Farra shivered, "Whoa… Holy shit…"

Peter said, "Duuuuude…"

He stated, "This must be where the Robotculi are born."

"Robolacrum."

"Bottlegangers… or whatever."

"Still, it's weird… There must be like thousands of robots here, being… mass produced?"

Farra looked at the aerial office and asked, "Hmm… a huge HD monitor, a wooden desk with a mug of herbal tea, and a portrait of a heavenly sky."

He asked, "So, who do you think owns this dump?"

"No clue… It couldn't be Mistress Makie. She doesn't like herbal tea. And Mal isn't fond of cloning…"

She approached a control panel, as she looked at each screen, showing the DNA schematics of each Mech Sister. It showed that their bodies are 100% human, but run on the same operating systems as the Mech Sisters, owned and created by Mann Co. She browsed through each robot, until she came to her own name. Farra gasped, as she said, "Peter, get a load of this… That's me…"

He said, "Dude… So, could Rinrin have created clones of you?"

She said, "I really doubt it, unless…"

She then scanned through each robot girl, and also including the names of Mizuki, Asahi, and Heather. It was no joke. The Gang Girls were being cloned by an unknown evil person that wanted to control June's Devil's Fileware. Farra was outraged, but wasn't angry. She then said, "No… Heather, Asahi, and Miz… they're in grave danger!"

He complained, "WAIT! Heather has a clone, too?"

She cried, "IDIOT! DOES IT LOOK LIKE A PRANK OR A PC MOD?"

"Cloning process ending… Mech Sister #934 – Mecha Sakuya… Clone Complete…"

Farra whispered, "Oh, fuck! HIDE!"

A chamber opened, as they ducked down. Sakuya, in her blue uniform, walked to the exit, opposite of where Peter & Farra came in. She beeped, "Dear brother."

She left, as Farra whispered, "Damn. These girls are purely evil, if not created by a certain genius."

Peter said, "My money's on Mal or Makie… or Rinrin, since they are her creations."

Farra said, "Well, I'm not sticking around to find out. You and I better alert the others, before anything comes up. We'll worry about shutting this down, later."

They spotted two doorways, as Peter asked, "Which one should we take?"

Farra replied, "Hmm… We'll take the right path."

As they left, another Mecha Sister walked by. It was a Mecha Mamoru. She beeped, "Big Bro."

After that, she departed. Afterwards, another robot with blonde hair and a sexy body was walking in the shadows. She looked exactly like Heather. She smiled and said, "Fools. The Sweet Brothers are close… to know of his forthcoming."

Now we know for sure. ALL four Gang Girls of AAW are cloned, using Rinrin's technology. But who would create such beauties of evil? And what purpose are these Mech Sisters for, going after the EXE Factors that June possess?
