Last time, Miki & Yamabuki are in Cincinnati, locating March and February, who were under control of Euphoria… however, it's much worse than that, after they were able to vaccinate the combat androids. Sonic Brainwashing came to play, as Tengge Yomoda, a Real Ninja Operative, was able to brainwash Miki & Yamabuki, only Yamabuki knew of the hypno music.
Miki Naoki is all by her lonesome, after Yamabuki's batteries died out. Miki looks to find answers, but it looks like she's trapped.
Meanwhile, down below, the robots of Yozuki & Iori appeared, as they were in ninja attire. Iori said, "Glock gave us a warning signal. She is in danger."
Yozuki held her swords and said, "Alright, we'll go save Yamabuki!" They dashed off, as two more ninjas appeared. It was Akari and Enju. Akari said, "This is the place."
Enju said, "Right. Suou-san needs our help. But I believe we may walk into a trap." She pointed at the fire escape and said, "We'll enter here, through the ninth floor. Then, we'll head to the 7th floor, where Yamabuki is."
"I hope we're not too late. She's in Room 708, right?"
"Right."
"Alright. Let's go!"
They jumped up and went inside the building.
Episode 11 – Chapter 3: Wasp Queen and Shadow Wolf!
The Real Ninja Senior Duo!
Miki contacted for help, as she was back in Room 709, "Hello? This is Miki Naoki, calling for Yamabuki–, er, Agent Glock. Mission accomplished. February and March are vaccinated, but Glock suffered a low battery… Yes? Uh, well, there's more…"
She explained the Sonic Brainwashing situation, and one of the agents said, "Alright. Miss Naoki, stay where you are, and we'll bring AK & Borchardt in to recover you girls. We'll come in and rescue the androids and Glock. Just stay safe, until our arrival."
"Right. I'll stay here… but I'm well-protected with myself, with the music. Over and out."
She signed off and said, "Good… I left Suou in the room… But I can't leave her here. Still, I'm surprised that this mission is over with."
The lights went out and Lily spoke, "Not quite." A snarl was made, as Lily was lurking in the shadows. Miki shivered, as she asked, "Huh–? Hello? Who's there?"
"We were waiting for you, Yamabuki Suou…" She said, "Welcome back to Real Ninja… Your little friend here, not so much…" Her green eyes lit up, and she said, appearing from behind her, "But you, Miki Naoki, are an easy target… being you're a precious figure. You're just in the way."
Miki sobbed, "That… Who are you?"
Lily slashed down, and Miki avoided the claw swipe. Lily held up her spear and said, "Well, well… You're skilled, but not good enough. At least with my abilities, I'm one step ahead of you…"
Miki whispered, "That's… Those ears… Are you a–?"
"Correct. Along with being a ninja for Real Ninja, I'm of the unique brand. I am Lily Fuma. And I am half-machine… half-werewolf."
"Werewolf?"
"I am the blood of a wolf. Combined my android form, I am all but invincible. When they appear in my range, they have no choice… Submit defeat or forfeit your life. I suggest you perform the former." She held her staff up and growled, "OR PERISH!"
She swung down, and Undead Knight emerged, blocking her blow. Miki pushed back and barked, "Wrong! If anyone's going to perish, it's you! I'm not afraid of you, you wolf freak!"
Lily hissed, "So… the brat has a Stand. It's very powerful, but it's beneath me." She stabbed at the Stand, but Undead Knight landed a barrage of kicks. Lily avoided each blow, and flipped back. Miki charged at her, as Lily was cornered. Undead Knight landed a vicious punch, but Lily melted into the shadows. Miki growled, "She got away… But still, she knows Yamabuki? I have to hurry… Whatever happens, Yamabuki cannot suffer."
Lily spoke, as she was in the shadows, "If I remember correctly, she's next door to those dolls… And the Sonic Brainwashing is already on a permanent effect, combined with the Euphoria."
"What? You mean… You did this?"
"I had help." Lily emerged, "Once you're dead, she's next. I know you… If you want Yamabuki Suou, you go through me, first."
Miki ducked, as Lily pounced on her. She kicked her off and barked, "Zombies is one thing, but werewolves, I draw the line on these monsters! You don't know my past, you inhuman beast!"
"Why would I?" Lily stepped back, "After all, you're a pathetic waste of space…"
"Real Ninja… Oka Kazamatsuri… I want to know. What is she planning?"
"You'll never know. All you will understand is pure swift death… or slow painful death. Take your pick."
"What do you want with Yamabuki Suou? You know that's not her… You don't know the truth about her…"
"And why would I know that? You think I care?"
"She's not a robot… Well, sort of, but…"
"Ah, so she's a cyborg?"
"That's not what I meant!"
Lily slashed at her, and Miki was struck down. "BITCH!" Lily yelled, "It matters not who or what she is now! Yamabuki is still Yamabuki! And she's always Real Ninja, and forever in Real Ninja!"
"You're wrong…" Miki coughed, "Miss Suou has a life now. I'd do anything to make her live again… because she's mechanical now… But that doesn't mean you get to demolish her!"
"Demolish? No, don't be silly… We intended to assimilate her. We have no order to destroy her. It's a shame, really… Siding with the humans and these heroes of light… She has forgotten her true goal."
"You're mad. She'll never join you!"
Lily held her spear up and said, "Maybe… but not today. Tengge is already gathering the androids… and she'll be surprised by the gift we got."
"Tengge?!" She gasped, "So, it was all a trap, wasn't it? The Euphoria in the robots' systems, we cured them!"
"Yes… but not the Sonic Brainwashing." Lily laughed, "NOW DIE!" She dashed forward, as Miki was trapped. She dodged out of the way, and Lily smashed the wall. Miki leapt out and tried to find the exit. But the shadows around her blocking her path.
"No… Where is it? Where's the exit?"
Lily swung hard, and Miki stumbled down. Miki coughed out blood, and Lily smirked, "No escape… My Shadow Jutsu prevents you from escaping. Besides… In the dead of night, all you can see in a nightly view, surrounded by stars and trees… is pitch blackness. You're in my world now, girl…"
Miki was cornered, as she was shaken in fear.

Akari & Enju arrived at the hotel, and they made it to the 9th floor. Akari said, "Downstairs, but we have to make it to the 7th floor. Room 708."
Enju went to the stairs and said, "Follow me!"
They raced down the stairs, and they arrived at the seventh floor. They stopped and saw Tengge enter Room 708. Akari gasped, "Is that–?"
They hid, as Enju peeked. She whimpered, "T-Tengge-san?"
Akari asked, "What is she doing here?"
"I don't know… But we have to know… Suou-san's inside. So, there's got to be a rational explanation."
They crept to the door, and Tengge saw the puppets, making out. She slashed down on them, and they vanished. "Simple tricks. But I am not fooled by your jutsu, Yamabuki… I know you very well, being your puppets are basic distractions. But still, you were able to thwart my sonic brainwashing part… but all for naught."
She turned to the lifeless March and Feb, and responded, "You two, however, you're so adorable… *giggles* But still, slaves to the Euphoria and my sonic brainwashing. The entire building is that trap, laid waste to my lust and lewdness. After all, my dear ladies… This is your paradise…"
She lifted March up and a small tune was played inside her. March robotically said, "Yes, master…" February added, as she was mesmerized, "Yes, master…"
They were standing in place, as Tengge grinned, "The towels, sexy and stylish, but…" she did a quick change and they reverted to their Goth Loli attire. "It's too bad about July… She would've been a warrior. But she's a broken-down doll. After I installed the music inside you, it's already under a permanent spell… once it's completed. Sonic Brainwashing and Euphoria do a lot of tricks, when it becomes a deadly combination… March and February, it is time. While Lily finishes off Yamabuki and Miki–."
"And then what?" Enju appeared, as she and Akari were at the door.
Tengge gasped, "OH! Akari. Enju. Long time no see. I hope you don't mind, but… These androids were damaged, so I had to take them back."
Akari asked, "To where, exactly?" She was crossed.
Enju said, "Game's over, traitor! I know for a fact that you hurt Yamabuki Suou! Where is she?"
"Room 709. I admit it. I would never harm her body." Tengge explained, "Besides, she came with a friend, and these robots are cured. It's a long story, but–."
Enju huffed, "Save it. We heard everything. Sonic Brainwashing… Euphoria… Sounds to me like you wanted to revive my Grandfather's old device, and used it for your perverted fashions. March and February, they're cured, alright… Brainwashed, is more like it!"
Tengge gasped, as Feb said, "Who asked you, human?" March barked, "You have no right to destroy our love."
Enju asked, "Wait… You're in love?"
March said, "We're sisters, after all… And we're designed to be a part of life… And the beauty of it is… We don't care what you think."
Feb added, "You two would just be in the way. You two ninjas are useless…"
Tengge grinned, "Akari… Enju… I apologize. But I never left Real Ninja." She held up her fan and said, "In fact, I obey another… not your grandfather…"
They gasped, as Tengge smirked, "And seeing that you two know of my plans, I'm not the mastermind behind this. In fact, I obey another…" She beeped, "I obey another. Real Ninja."
Enju gasped, "She's changed!" Akari cried, "She's turned!" March held up a pistol and said, "And she's a dead girl."
BANG!
She shot at Tengge, and she dropped to the ground. Tengge moaned, as she held her shoulder, "You…"
March and Feb turned to her, and March said, "What happened to July… it's all you. How dare you talk down at our sister?" February stated, "You have no right to berate her, even after she's being repaired! She would've been a warrior, but she is a soldier! You should show shame for treating us like that!"
Akari gasped, "Eh? What is this?"
March said, "I don't know what happened, but… This woman, she reactivated us, and the vaccine inside us rebooted our circuits. It felt like… we're as good as new."
Tengge roared, "NO! I was too late! A vaccine to stop the Euphoria?! FOOLS!" She kipped up and held her huge fan, "None of that matters to me! You two dolls are still under my control!" She swung her fan around and hissed, "If I can't control you dolls, I'll destroy you! QUEEN WASP, ASCEND! DESTROY THESE TRAITORS!" A busty woman appeared, in yellow and black plating, with bee wings and spikes all over her. Her face showed two huge red bug eyes.
Enju gasped, "A STAND!" they dodged out of the way, and February kneeled down. She analyzed the room, "Energy detected… It can't be! Stand Users in the area! Five of them!"
Tengge asked, "Five, eh? Lily and I are–. Wait… You two?"
Akari shouted, "Double Jeopardy!" And Enju called, "Thunder Grease!"
NOTE: Enju's Stand is renamed "Thunder Grease", to shift name copyright.
March asked, "What's going on? What are they shouting for?"
February said, "I don't know. March, we have to evacuate. I sense another person inside."
Tengge glared, "So, you two have Stands, huh? I should've guessed, since you saw my Stand, the Queen Wasp! Soon, I will add you into my colony… of corpses!"
Enju sparked up and shouted, "GO TO HELL!" Thunder Grease punched at her, but Queen Wasp blocked her attack. They exchanged punches, as Akari said, "Stay still, Tengge!" She shot kunais at her, but Tengge reflected the attack with her fan.
"Fools! Not even your ninja tricks can stop Euphoria!" Tengge hissed. She landed a kick to Enju, and Akari growled, "Okay, you bully. I'll make sure you cease to exist, and reprogram you into a maid robot!"
"I'm so scared…" Tengge giggled. March aimed her gun at her, "You should be."
Tengge barked, "You damned doll!" She slashed at her, but she jumped out of the way. Tengge snarled, "I won't let you get away with this! You should've been under my control!"
March huffed, "Yeah, well, too bad. No one owns us! (Except for Mother and Father Dear)."
"Oh, you're adopted? Well… Congratulations." She swung down and roared, "AND PERISH!"
She leapt out of the way, and February went into the closet. March nodded to Akari, "Distract her…"
Akari nodded, as she performed Fire Jutsu with her Stand, "Now, burn by the fire of a powerful ninja, twice as hellish as before! Flame Jutsu!" She shot at Tengge, but she avoided it. Enju shot lightning from her Stand, "Thunder Grease! Shoot down!"
Tengge was struck down, and she wailed, "Ohhhhhh! Nooo…" She collapsed, as March retreated to the closet. She shut the door, as Akari and Enju waited for Tengge to get up. She groaned, "Dammit… Beaten by humans…"
Enju said, "Tengge-san, this isn't you! Who or what are you?"
"Yeah, and how did you get a Stand?" Akari asked.
Queen Wasp appeared, as she responded, "You're just like those that betray my swarm. Only I and I alone will make you submit to the hive. Our masters want The Gang dead, likewise any interlopers… especially you former Real Ninja operatives."
Akari said, "Real Ninja lives through us. Oka Kazamatsuri had no right to betray us."
Enju agreed, "Kazamatsuri-san's time will come, soon enough. But if you won't admit defeat, we'll have no choice but to end you!"
"So be it…" Tengge's body was lifted up, and her eyes went infrared. "Destroy the traitors. If you do not rejoin me… You are my enemies!"
Queen Wasp said, "Now, Tengge Yomoda, kill these girls!"
Akari & Enju prepare, as Tengge held up her fan, "Understood."
Enju stated, "We have to defeat her, the Stand. But do not destroy it. If it dies, Tengge dies."
Akari sighed, "Yeah, yeah, I know… We're Stand Users, too, but… The problem is, how are we to save Yamabuki and stop Little Miss Bug Queen, while we're fighting?"
"Well, let's not mess this hotel up, like it's a Cincinnati Bengals Parade." Enju remarked, and then huffed, "Can't believe they lost to Stafford and Los Angeles…"
They ran around, as Akari, Enju, Double Jeopardy, and Thunder Grease split into shadow clones. Tengge remained in place and said, "You're hopeless. You cannot expect an expert ninja like me to know your shadow clone jutsu…"
Akari said, "Oh yeah? Well, watch this!" Her clones went into superspeed, as Tengge held her fan high and said, "Like I said… Hopeless!"
She swung her fan around, creating a huge gust of wind. Akari and Enju were blown away, crashing into the walls. Tengge giggled and said, "All your efforts were futile. Even I can push away your pathetic magic tricks." She dashed forward and grinned demonically, "NOW DISAPPEAR!"
She slashed down, and Enju rolled out of the way. She cried, "I'M WARNING YOU!"
Enju and Tengge continue to fight, as Akari was still in pain. She groaned, "Ouch… Enju… Hang on…" She kneeled up and threw a shuriken at her. Tengge deflected it in an instant, and Enju knocked her down with a right hook. Enju said, "It's two on one, Tengge-san. Even if you say you're going to win, you're outmatched."
Tengge growled, "I underestimated you, Enju… But to me, I've already won this!" She teleported and Queen Wasp appeared from behind Akari. She stung her back, and Akari yelped, "YOUCH!"
"AKARI!" She cried, as Akari collapsed. Queen Wasp said, "That is the beauty of Queen Wasp. One sting, and…"
"Lemme guess, a sting from a bumblebee, and you die?"
"Correct. But… With my sting…" Akari stood up and buzzed, "Zzzzzzzz…" Her eyes went infrared, and she grew bee wings.
"No…" Enju sobbed, "You didn't!"
"Uh-huh… My own swarm, instantly, with one strike. I may not have the dolls, but she'll do just nicely." She said, "Akari, kill her."
Akari buzzed, "Yes, master…" She attacked Enju, and Enju cried, "Akari, wait, it's me!" Tengge attacked her from behind, and they started to brawl at her. Enju got out of the way, and she crawled to safety. She thought, "I have to stop that psycho hornet. Tengge's not that deadly, when it comes to battle. But still… Akari's turned, and I can't save her… But my guess is: defeat the Stand, revert to normal. But I am all alone…"

Lily stabbed forward, and Miki dodged out of the way. She panicked, as she moaned, "This is how I'm going to die? Killed by a werewolf?" Lily pounced onto her, and then snarled, "You shall not escape me…"
She kicked her off, and Undead Knight appeared. It landed a fierce jab, and Lily is sent flying. Miki growled, "I know one thing… I've been down the road before, fighting off zombies of people I know and don't know. But that means you're no contest!"
Undead Knight armed itself with a shovel, and swung hard. It was blocked by a werewolf coated in shadows. Lily hissed, "Shadow Wolf…" Miki gasped, "She has a Stand, too?!" She then stated, "Hm, should've guessed."
Lily barked, "And what was your first guess?" She pounced on Miki's Stand, as Shadow Wolf slashed at Miki, "I am unstoppable!" Miki was tossed around, while her Stand crashed down. Both wolves stood side-by-side, as Lily armed herself, "So it ends… I have the upper hand, unlike you, you lowly brat… Now…"
Miki shut her eyes, as Lily went for the final blow. But she stopped, and heard music. She gasped, "Huh?"
Miki whispered, "She stopped…"
Down below in the lobby, Yozuki and Iori were examining the computer. It had Tengge's sonic brainwashing program in it, and Yozuki turned it on.
Iori said, "So, this is how they trapped people inside the hotel… I sense some… stimulating messages…"
Yozuki said, "So many tracks… She has about 17? Where's the album for it?"
"Focus! Maybe try this…" She examined a track, "Track 9."
"Hm? Okay." She played track 9, as Yozuki heard a soft beat, "Gyp… This is boring."
Iori asked, "AK, what are youuu plaaaa–?" She froze in place, as Yozuki slowly turned to Iori, "This muuuuu–."
Yozuki & Iori froze in place, like statues, as the music played. The Sonic Brainwashing succumbed to the clones.
Meanwhile, in Room 708, Tengge and Akari went closer to Enju, but then Tengge stopped. She whispered, "That tune… NO! Who was playing my–?" She stopped, and suddenly froze up, "No…"
She and Akari were slowly stiffening, as Enju moaned, "Now's my chance… She slowly got up and shouted, "TENGGE-SAN! HIYAH!" She kicked Tengge down and she was out cold. She moaned, as she was slowly frozen, "No… How… was I…" She stopped after that.
Enju slowly went to Akari and spoke, "Aka… ri… I did it… As… long as… you're… saaa…" She was frozen stiff, and succumbed to the Sonic Brainwashing, played by Yozuki. Everything went silent, as the music ended. Akari, Enju, & Tengge were frozen stiff like mannequins.
On the other side of the room, Lily was frozen stiff, as she was posed with her spear up, and her face went emotionless. Miki was unaffected, as she wore earplugs. She whispered, "She stopped moving… The music… No way…" Miki stood up and moaned, as the shadows from the room disappeared. Miki said, "That was lucky, but I have a feeling that she may not wake up… for a while. Sonic Brainwashing can be hazardous to your mental health."
She walked off and said, "I have to warn Suou…"
She raced off, hoping to find answers… but with the entire floor turned into statues, is Miki Naoki too late?

Meanwhile, back in New York, Percival met with Asahi, who was sitting in her desk.
"Studying more on the Joestar Family issue?" He asked her.
She said, "Still… I'm still trying to decipher what, why, and how DIO & Pucci wanted to do all this… I'm still heartbroken by Azusa."
"It's alright. She helped me, long ago… but for her honor, we'll avenge her and stop Pale Snake and Oka."
Asahi nodded, "Even if we save Azusa, identity or not, her death will be avenged."
He said, "Good. By the way, I have been called for an appointment, and I want you to accompany me. No one else will, since they're still pissed at me."
She responded, "Oh, sure. I mean, foul on letting Peter go, by himself, but I forgive you. He'll recover. So, I'm in. Where are we going?"
"Remember those android ninjas?" He stated, "Well, they're currently being reformatted and revived by our friends in World Government."
"Huh? MEA?"
"No. You ever heard of a company called… Obnubi?"
She gasped, as she asked, "NO… What is it? Is it a manufacturer for gynoids?"
"No, it's a ninja organization, overseeing various ninja clans. Real Ninja is created there, only pervertedly. The company has recovered the Real Ninja operatives, and are reversing the process."
"Reversing the process?! I'm not following you…"
"I'll explain when we get there. Now, come on."
They head downstairs, as Cy was waiting for them. "Onii-chan!" She waved, as Asahi blushed, "OH!"
Percival said, "Cy, we're going to Obnubi. She will accompany us. This is Asahi Sakurai, a friend of mine."
Cy giggled, "Hi! I'm Cy. Nice ta meetchu, Asa."
Asahi blushed, "Uh, thanks? She asked, "Who's she?"
"She's an android. And my personal driver." He said, "He's my replacement for Eri."
He stepped in, as Asahi whispered, "I see…" She went into the back seat, as she said to him, "Percival, when did you get her?"
"Around the time you guys left for Egypt. Years ago. I'm surprised she's still in working condition, after 5 years."
"Oh…" Asahi said, "Well, it's nice to meet you, Cy."
Cy smiled, "Weave ew'wything to me, Asa! Off we go!"
She drove off, as they headed to Obnubi. Hopefully to learn more about Oka's Euphoria Plan.
To be continued…
