At Cincinnati, Yamabuki & Miki arrived at a local hotel. Yamabuki read it, "Skyline Hotel. Funny. Skyline usually is the branded name fer chili."
"Ugh… Chili…" Miki said, "Anyways, why here, of all places?"
"This was the last location of where the androids are. If we give them the antidote…" She held up a vial of blue liquid, "They won't malfunction via an overdose. Euphoria really messes up a fembot's circuitry, if one's not careful."
"You think it'll work?"
"We tested it on some gynoids… It's like the vaccine, only it is thrice a year."
"Four months to take a dosage?"
"Until the drug is gone from their bodies."
They stepped out, as Miki asked, "Wait… what about the two robots?"
Yamabuki said, "You're right. Hang on." She went in the second van and saw three MEA agents cheering for Yozuki and Iori, who were dancing a show for them. Yamabuki barked, "If ya three pervs are done playing with them, we have business to take care of!"
She crossed her arms, as one agent said, "Sorry, Agent Glock… They have been feisty since the last dispatch."
"Well, see that ya reformat their functions. In fact, which one of ya forgot ta reformat them to their default modes?"
The agents said, "You did…"
Yamabuki gasped, as Miki sighed, "You're so uncouth…"
"Eh… heh-heh-heh…" Yamabuki giggled nervously. Miki grabbed her arm, "Make sure they are battle-ready!"
Yamabuki was dragged off, as she said, "Ya heard the lady… Fix them, first. And dispatch them, in case we run into trouble!"
The agents agreed, after they finished playing around with the two clones. Miki snarled, "You're such a pervert."
Yamabuki blushed, "I just love boobies, that's all… It's not that I'm gay or anythin'. I'm straight as an arrow, fam. Besides, would ya act this way, with Yuuri Wakasa's big boobies?"
"I'm not you, you know…"
Yamabuki gasped, "HUH?" She shuddered, "Ya makin' me nervous… Ya get to be so intimidatin'."
"When was I ever intimidating?"
"Well, ya sound a bit nervous, since ya're travelin' away from yer old homestead."
"I'm not nervous. Jesus, you sound like Yuki-senpai."
"Then why are you shaken?"
"I'm just worried about the others… especially with what has been going on…"
"Well, I'll lead this mission, Mikun."
They stepped inside, as a female clerk appeared, with tan skin and purple hair. The woman said, "Welcome to Skyline Hotel. How may I be of service?" She gasped, as she saw Yamabuki.
"Y-Y-Yamabuki?" She whispered.
Yamabuki was shocked, "T-Tengge-san?"
Episode 11 - Chapter 2: Sin-Cinnati Sin!
Welcome to My Hotel…
Miki asked, "Eh? You two know each other?"
Yamabuki said, "Oh, that's… uh… I mean, it's been so long…"
Tengge smiled, "Yeah. It has been a while, Yamabuki. Who's your friend?"
"Oh, uh… We're on a mission together. This is my friend from Japan, and she's workin' alongside The Gang, for the moment."
Miki said, "I'm Miki Naoki."
Tengge giggled, "Oh, how nice to meet you. I'm Tengge Yomoda."
Miki blushed heavily, as she looked at her breasts, "They're so huge…" Tengge's breasts are gigantic.
Yamabuki said, "Hey, back off! Those boobies are majestic!"
Miki gasped, "Uh… Sorry! I had no idea–."
Tengge giggled, "Oh, I get that a lot. People adore me for my huge assets…"
"Anyways, we're here on a mission…" Yamabuki said, "Do ya know of a March and February Marciano?"
"Oh?"
"They're androids." Miki said, "And they're sisters… affected by a drug."
Tengge said, "Now that you mention it, they have come here… Was one of them with big pigtails, and the other in glasses, and with Moé Goth Lolita attire?"
Miki nodded, "That's them."
Tengge said, "Well, you're more than welcome to investigate, but you have to rent a room, like everyone else. The Marcianos are in Room 708. Seventh Floor." She gave Yamabuki the room key, "Here. On the house, you get 709."
Yamabuki smiled, "Thank you!"
Miki then stared at Tengge, and whispered, "This woman…" She thought, "Something I don't like about her, aside from her enormous boobs. It's like she's baiting us. It seemed too easy to locate the androids. I'm not buying her snake oil… *gasp* No… Could she be Pale Snake?"
She and Yamabuki walked to the elevator, afterwards. As soon as they left, Tengge called on the phone, "Hello, Lily? Yes… Yamabuki came back."
XXXXX
They walked down the hallway, as Yamabuki said, "What's the matter?"
Miki whispered, "It's… uh… nothing."
"Come on, why are ya nervous about Tengge?"
"I am not nervous!"
"I know I'm older, but I don't want to intimidate ya… not that I was, bein' we're allies, fam."
"Fam? And you do NOT intimidate me! You're just a robot, er, human in a robot shell!"
"Sorry…"
Miki growled,"You're just like Miss Yuki… except you're a boob-grabbing pervert."
Yamabuki shrieked, "HEY! THAT'S COLD!"
They arrived at Room 709, but they waited. Yamabuki said, "We should ask Room 708, but… I don't see any reason we should break in."
Miki said, "Maybe it's because of this?" She pointed at the Do Not Disturb tag on the doorknob, and Miki stated, "Any particular reason why we cannot enter?"
"I bet it's for sex. If they do, it'll be so kinky… and wrong… because they're sisters."
"Oh, my god, what is with you and GL? It means that they don't want to talk! Pure love is one thing, but forced love by a drug, that's different! Besides, they don't even look related, nor do they look older! They obviously were building a pillow fort!"
"Dude! They're teenager models. You're referrin' to the Triplets."
"Never mind…"
They stepped in, as Miki asked, "So, I'm curious… How do you even know Tengge-san? Is she a ninja, too?"
Yamabuki sat down and said, "It has been so long, hasn't it, Tengge?" She said to Miki, "Mikun, there's a lot you don't know about me, aside from being an MEA Agent and a former Stand User. Yes, I'm a ninja, but I actually work for Real Ninja… Of course, it was before Oka usurped control, and we fled. However, Real Ninja changed formats, after my excursion to Mount Fuji, and before I met The Gang."
"So, she's a ninja robot, too?"
"No. She's human. She and I left Real Ninja, as soon as I learned of Oka's betrayal. But we have had a difficult journey… After we both left, we had one final mission together. At the time, I was under the control of MIO, but in that mission, I left Tengge to die…"
"No… You left her to die?"
"I'm kidding. But partially true… We were on an excursion inside a dark cave, hoping to gather material to create weapons, but a rock slide trapped us both. Tengge took massive damage, but I fled. She told me, before I left…"
Tengge was injured, as Yamabuki tried to help her. She cried, "Tengge-san! Tengge-san! Come on! Lemme help you!"
"No… There's no need. The others, they knew of our betrayal… Please… Don't worry… about me…"
Tengge reached for her, as she was fading. She whispered, "Yama… bu… ki… I'll always… lo–." She collapsed and passed out. Yamabuki ran out, as Tengge whispered in pain, "Please… go… Go… Go… now… beforrr… … …" Her vision faded to black and ran out of breath.
Yamabuki sniffled, "I'm just so happy she survived, now… but I couldn't bring up Real Ninja, knowing the current state it's in…"
"So, you're formerly of Real Ninja? And you left to join MEA. Why is that?"
"Because I knew that I would one day become a top agent, and save Tengge… But instead, calamity befell me… First, in Mount Fuji, then in Egypt, and then in Italy. I gained Ninja Chariot, and lost it… My body was now a corpse, without a soul, and my soul trapped inside this robot body. Only now… What am I going to tell Tengge-san, knowing that this is a different me? She sacrificed herself to save me…"
"And you left her behind, because she was protecting you. She said that you have to." Miki smiled, "It's alright. She's back. And she's safe and sound. Though, I'll never guess why it took so long to heal up, and never come back to you."
Yamabuki smiled, "I'm certain she's alright. Once the mission's done, ya and I can have a chat with Tengge, for old time's sake. Maybe compare Tengge-san and Ri-san, ehhh?" she grinned evilly.
Miki griped, "Oh, for god's sake! They are NOT that big!" She stammered, "Uh-uh-uh, I mean… about Ri-san–!"
Yamabuki sighed, "Alright, that's enough humor. We have to rest up, then we have a chat with March & Feb."
Miki said, "Right. We have to focus, and not have any fun."
"Damn right! I am a leading MEA Agent. And my focus on a mission comes first. Fun comes afterwards."
Miki sighed in regret, "Well, at least you're determined…"
Yamabuki prepares, as Miki stood near the door. She said, "So… When are they due to come back? Androids aren't usually noisy in hotels."
Yamabuki said, "Knowing how Euphoria works, they take it slow. And then, the Unrated Stuff happens. Can't say for sure how long… but…"
"So, they could be noisy?"
"Meh. But only one way to find out. Do not disturb, my ass."
She marched out, as Miki cried, "Wait! You have to be polite, when entering."
"Screw that noise, fam!" Yamabuki went to Feb & March's room, and opened the door. She paused, "Eh? It's open."
They stepped inside, as Miki said, looking around the sterile room, "It's clean here… They really are spending an evening together."
"Aw, no rose petals, no champagne, no sex toys… Where's the lust?"
"I'm pretty sure that they're just taking it easy."
"Yeah, but…"
"Hello?" Miki called out, "Anyone in here?"
March appeared, wearing only a towel, and her long hair down, "Yes? Oh, it's you two… The android ghost and the reformed puritan."
Yamabuki said, "We've been looking fer ya, March. Your parents were worried about ya… Plus…"
"What's this all about?" March said.
Miki said, "We'll come straight to the point, March. You're infected. Euphoria, it's gotten to you… And after what happened with July, we have to vaccinate you."
Yamabuki replied, "She's right. March, it's mandatory that ya be cleansed of the drug, if ya don't want to end up like July."
March asked, "What are you talking about? Euphoria?!"
"The drug!" Miki explained, "You're malfunctioning, because of it! Miss Stevens saw an article about you, saying Euphoria is the way of your new love life!"
March said, "Oh, that… That's bullshit… I never do drugs. Somehow they added the part about Euphoria into my article, and I was angry. Of course, I don't care. I mean, it was for endorsement, but I'd never touch the stuff."
Yamabuki asked, "Then… You're not…"
March said, "I'm aware of July… and after I calmed down, February and I heard it from Father… and we decided to elope together, just to cope with the losses. Plus, we didn't want to get sick from the drug, either."
She pouted and said, "I shouldn't have yelled at January…"
Yamabuki said, "It's all fine. Now, will ya at least get vaccinated?"
March sighed, "Would you leave me alone? This isn't the right time or place. I refuse to go back. February and I are happy together, and we're in love! I can't go back to you, Master Neilsen, Mother and Father, OR The Gang! I will consider getting cured of the Euphoria, or safeguarded, but now's not the right time."
Miki asked, "You–? You're not sick?"
March smiled, "No, I'm not. Neither is February… We're just dealing with July's sudden fall."
Miki said, "She's not dead… but we hope you will support her, at least."
March said, "I'd appreciate the offer, but no… We cannot return home. Not until we're ready." She stated, as she stepped forward, "Now, leave, at once."
Yamabuki stated, "Okay, but I'm calling yer parents about this… Ya can stay here, but I will lie a little, saying that ya need to be alone."
March locked the door and said, "You're not going to tell them anything!"
Yamabuki cried, "Come on! March, let's us out!"
March hissed, "If you want to tell them, do it over my dead body…" Her eyes twinkled, as Miki whispered, "Those eyes… They're… Is it Euphoria?"
Yamabuki looked into her green eyes and said, "No… It's something else. If it's not Euphoria, what is it?"
"A variant of the Euphoria?"
"Oh, don't be ridiculous."
March held up her rifle and shouted, "DIE!" She fired, as Miki and Yamabuki ducked out of the way. Yamabuki shrieked, "NO! I DON'T WANNA DIE!" Miki growled, and she leapt out of the couch, "Undead Knight!"
She clasped onto March's neck and arms, since she cannot see it. She dropped her gun, and Miki held her down, with the vaccine in hand, "Sorry… I have no choice…"
March groaned, "N-No… I'm not–."
"The drug… It's obviously controlling you!"
She inserted the vaccine, and March started to calm down. She moaned, "System error… Virus detected… Purging and cleansing toxic and corrupted data… Shutting… dooooo…" She dropped to her knees, as Miki sighed, "Phew… That was close."
Yamabuki growled, "I knew it… She was coated with Euphoria."
"What was your next guess, huh?" Miki barked.
Yamabuki approached the near-naked android, until February appeared, "March? What's going on? Oh…" She was in a towel, wearing only her glasses, "Miss Naoki? Miss Suou. OH! MARCH!"
Miki said, "One question… Are you coated with the Euphoria?"
Feb pouted, "Uh, we did share a sample, while we kissed–. I mean, uh…"
Yamabuki said, "That's what I thought…" She grinned, "It's time for your vaccination."
Feb gasped, and then said, "I see…"
"It's for July… March refused to listen, but I subdued her…" Miki said.
February smiled and said, "So be it. I don't want to break down, like July…"
She was given the vaccine, and February powered down. "System rebooting… Please wait… Shutting dooown…"
March and February were motionless, as Yamabuki said, "Now, we wait… Hopefully, they'll be back to normal. And hey, we didn't need AK and Borchardt, this time."
Miki sighed, "I'm not so sure…"
Meanwhile, at the front desk, Tengge was on the phone with Oka.
"I see… So, Yamabuki Suou has returned to the fold?"
"Yes, ma'am… I fear she may stop March and February from succumbing to the drug."
"Let them… Just make sure that they are comfortable with your special accommodations."
Tengge grinned evilly, "Indeed I shall, master. *giggles* Indeed… I… shall…" She hung up and nodded, "Lily… I will handle the visitors in Room 708. Room 709 is all yours." She turned to a woman in long dark blue hair and wolf ears. She said to her, in a devilish grin, "Kill them."
The woman bowed and said, "Understood."
Tengge held up a CD and inserted it into the stereo player. She smiled, "March and February… I do hope you enjoy Euphoria… It'll be very stimulating. *Giggles*."
She played the music, as Tengge hummed, "Hmm… Heh-heh-heh-heh… Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!" She cackled evilly, as music played all over the 7th floor. It was a deep bass beat, accompanied by some smooth jazz.
Miki gasped, "What was that?"
Miki & Yamabuki were still in Room 708, along with the deactivated androids. Suddenly… Miki's eyes were mesmerized, as she moaned, "Oh… What is this… feeling…"
Yamabuki moaned, "That tune… It felt… so… famil… iar…"
They blushed heavily, and then they turned to each other. Miki giggled, as she said, "You… really send me." She approached Yamabuki, and she hugged her. Yamabuki cuddled her. Miki was lying her head onto her massive chest, and Yamabuki giggled, "Ya enjoyin' this, sweetheart?"
Miki smiled, "Yes… You're so hot…"
Miki & Yamabuki were brainwashed by the music, as Feb & March were still turned off. Miki and Yamabuki went closer and their lips touched. Yamabuki gasped in horror, and she stepped back, "WAIT!"
She stepped backwards, as Miki whispered, "What's the matter? Shy of me?"
Yamabuki snapped out of it and said, "That music… It's… NO! IT CAN'T BE!"
Miki giggled, "It's alright, baby. We can have fun, tonight… Maybe with these two sex dolls."
Yamabuki thought, "Must… resist… Dammit! Mikun's hypnotized. But why? I thought it was erased, forever!" She contacted for help, "Good thing I found a wireless hotspot in this hotel… AK & Borchardt… Please… come in…"
She sent it, but she suddenly said, "Hmmmmmmm…" She blushed, as she moaned, "No… I cannot… move… My body… it's so… hot…"
Yamabuki was moving by force, holding onto Miki. They started to kiss and makeout, on the couch. They continued kissing, as Yamabuki was whimpering, "Mi–, Mikun… Please…" Her eyes were fading, "My… My body… cannnnn… oooooooooo… Ahhhhhhh… Errrrrrrrrrrrr… mmmmmmmmmmngh…" She was slurring, as her voice slid down to a deep baritone. She stopped moving, after that, and Miki was still cuddling her lifeless body. She passed out, after that, as she was exhausted.
Tengge stopped the music and said, "Lily… Go now. I will wait here." Lily dashed off, as Tengge chuckled, "Yamabuki… Welcome home. *giggles*."
Everything was quiet in Room 708. Miki was unconscious, while Yamabuki died down, likewise March and February, who were still rebooting. And Lily was heading to the 7th floor, to finish off the two heroes.
Meanwhile, outside the Skyline Hotel, miles from there, two ninjas were observing the view of Cincinnati. One was wearing a red revealing ninja outfit with long blonde hair, and another was wearing a revealing black and gold ninja outfit, with long black hair.
"No doubt about it. She's here…" The ninja in red said, "I'm surprised that she contacted us…"
The ninja in black said, "Yes. Suou-san…" She got the message from Yamabuki.
It said:
"Help… AK… Borchardt…
We're caught in a hypnotic spell… Room 708 - Skyline Hotel… Please hurry! To battle!
Glock"
The ninja in black said, "She wanted to contact her partners, but she typed the wrong address link…"
She said to her, "Akari, you and I will head down there and investigate. If what I believe is true…"
Akari said, "I know… Tsubame… Ran… Hijiri… Hayuki… Why did they all suffer?"
Enju replied, "Get over it! They'll be fixed. And hopefully from Kazamatsuri-san's curse. I wish I knew what… But still…"
"We cannot waste any time. Yamabuki's in trouble! But if… If we're too late…"
"I know. Suou-san's a robot now… and with her human soul trapped in it. She gets damaged, there'd be no way to save her. We have to hurry, Akari. If she dies, that's it…"
"I can't let Oka win… Not after she turned Real Ninja into Robot Ninja."
"Me too. Come on!"
Akari and Enju dashed off, from roof to roof, heading to the Skyline Hotel. But will they arrive too late? By the looks of it, it might already be too late.
But inside the room, Miki and Yamabuki were alone in the room, cuddling each other. Inside the closet, however….
"That was close…" Miki spoke, "I'm glad you warned me…"
She and Yamabuki were inside the closet, as clones of them were used. Yamabuki said, "I recognized that music… so I reacted."
"Do you know what caused this? Maybe it had something to do with February and March's attitude."
"Precisely… Combined Euphoria with the haunting music… equals a very deadly combination. We're glad that they didn't hear it, in time."
"What kind of music is it?"
"Only the worst – Sonic Brainwashing."
"Sonic Brainwashing?"
"Correct." Yamabuki said, "It's a device used in Obnubi that can control people, through subliminal messages, but also camouflaged in music. We had this sort of tech before, but it was dangerous. This music can even brainwash a person, despite immunity or not… and it may be permanent."
"Permanent effects? Then, just now…"
"I was able to save ya, in time… even me. If I was a second late, we'd totally make out and have sex… But I didn't want to go that far. I am serious, when it comes to missions. But Sonic Brainwashing…"
"Yeah… And thanks for snapping me out of it. But still, why did you use clones of us?"
"Bait. Something wasn't right about this… I used my puppets of ya and me, only to lure out the enemy. I know… it'll be for a reason. Tengge gave us a key, and she welcomed her guests…"
Miki said, "So, it could very well be…"
"You did right to stop March, using your Stand. And Feb insisted on taking the vaccine. Only…"
"Only what?"
"Even if the vaccine works to erase the Euphoria, the Sonic Brainwashing may be our biggest threat, right now."
Miki blushed, as she huffed, "Still… Do you have to go full erotica on our puppet clones?"
"Maybe… but even Puppet Jutsu is not immune to this music. Hopefully, our enemy will appear, before AK & Borchardt arrive, and before these puppets vanish."
Miki said, "I'd like to meet this enemy… and why they made March into an arrogant celebrity."
"She's no celeb. She's a combat android."
"Yeah, I know that. But this isn't like her. It's like… her programming is altered."
"That's the Euphoria kicking. It can alter anyone's mind, be ya robot."
"Like a virus? I see… So that's why you packed the vaccine for them."
"Certainly. Only… I shudder to think what happens to them, if they wake up. They have an hour to reboot, and then…"
Yamabuki started to beep, as Miki gasped, "Miss Suou!" She held her, as Yamabuki was fading.
"Mikun… My battery is… low… That sonic… brainwashing… somehow…"
"Hang on! You need to recharge? We can't stay here, we may get spotted."
"No… go on… without… me… Go alert… the others… for help…" Her voice was slowing down, "Mikun… Just… be safe… fer… me–." She stopped and collapsed to the floor, with her eyes open and dimmed and her mouth without a smile.
"MISS SUOU!" Miki shrieked. She sobbed, "Miss Suou! Yamabuki! HEY! Yamabuki? … No… She's dead… Her body stopped moving… Miss Suou! MISS SUOU!" she cried and wept, hugging her, "Miss Suou… no…" She sniffled and snarled, "Damn you… Whoever you are… I'm sorry, Yamabuki. I can do this myself, only… Only I'll get Yozuki & Iori for you. So you can rest, and hopefully we won't be too late." She closed Yamabuki's eyes and said, "Rest easy. Help will be on the way…" She wiped her tears and said, "But I have to make sure that I don't–. Huh?" She found a pair of earplugs and said, "Oh. Earplugs. Good thinking." She put them on and said, "Even though I can easily hear the subliminal tune, I'll easily avoid contact. Now… I have to return to Room 709, and contact Yozuki & Iori."
She crept out of the closet and went past her puppet clone. She snuck out of the room.
Elsewhere, Tengge was at her desk, as she was able to subdue her prey. "Mission complete. Yamabuki and Miki Naoki are ours. I can't wait to convert her back to the clan. The other girl, not so much…" She found a small box inside. She said, as she read the card, "From Oka… This is your gift, to help out a friend. Wear it proudly. Hmm…" She opened it and saw what was inside. "Strange… I can't wear this. It's too small."
Inside the gift box… … …was a compact disc. It was one of Pale Snake's Stand Discs. Oka gave Tengge a Stand.
Tengge smiled and giggled, "Oh, well, she said that she wants me to wear it, so… How do I put it on?" She looked at it, and suddenly inserted it into her head. She gasped and shrieked, "AHH! AH-OW! What the hell is this?" She pulled the disc out, but it was stuck, "UNGH! IT'S STUCK! Why is it impaled into my–?" She stopped and gasped. Her eyes went black, and she powered down.
"Hello. I am Tengge. Welcome to Real Ninja." She was a robot, too. Only she was brainwashed by Oka Kazamatsuri and Ritsu Tainaka. "Yes, master Night Samba. I will do as you say."
A figure appeared from behind her, as Tengge's eyes regained their color, and Tengge grinned evilly. "Destroy…" she then giggled.
To be continued…
