Dantom walked in the Dolls barrack as it was around that time one which he always like seeing yet today would be certainly special moment. Standing back right at the where Ruoka was standing as getting any closer to the proper Dolls would disturb them and ruin the moment he had come here to see. Looking at his watch he then began to countdown silently to what he had come here to see.
It was just then when he reach zero that IT happen just like clockwork. All at once the Dolls' eyes shot up and they all stood up in unison to just stand there in their rooms. It had been the maximum of five hours that the Dolls are suppose to sleep and their internal clocks woke them up just as five hours had passed. It was yet another marvel that Dantom had never really got tired of as not only had broken them mentally to the state that they are currently in. He also took control of their body programming them to do various things according to his own set schedule rather then their owns.
It was for this reason that he was very glad and even gratefully that he had that run in with M. Bison. If that had never happened then he would have never been able to get this far in his work as he would be in jail or even dead. He use his status as doctor to use people as guinea pigs for his work and hobby. Of course while Dantom may have been overjoyed at the result of his work the same could not be said of those that were subjected to it. However as they were they could not complain or do anything for that manner that did not follow the commands of their either Dantom or Bison after all.
Walking to the end of the barracks he came across Saru who just stood there staring straight vacantly at nothing. Her mind was currently as blank as the emotionless stare that been perpetually frozen on her face thanks Dolls re-education programming. Dantom's presence in the barrack was not even acknowledge by any of the Dolls as they were just standing there in standby mode until they were call upon to do something or one their scheduled daily needs had come around. As long he did not enter their room or did anything that trigger them to act he just stand there staring at them like this.
These girls were the product of all his hard work and he could not help but marvel at them whenever he had the chance. Of course now that he had girl that he had no only used the max level of his Dolls re-education programming like with Juni but in addition to that she also skills as well abilities that surpassed Cammy.
"Saru, Juni, Marz" Dantom said called out to the three Dolls.
"Yes Master Dantom" the three in question said in complete unison.
He then motion for them to follow after him to which they did with flawless execution walking in one behind the other as the followed after Dantom. Saru up front followed by Juni with Marz bringing up the rear.
As the three Dolls were walking through the base following after Dantom there were a number of people that were paying attention them as they went by. Mostly because of Saru and Juni as these two were the most thoroughly brainwashed of their bunch while Marz was most because who she was before becoming a Dolls. Most of the worker here where from around there age to 23 after all and they were exactly popular in school not so much because of their skills and hobbies. They kind of alienated them from others(not interested in them already) as well a lot girl in general just did not seem to like them. However there was something that differentiated them far others as they were mostly anti-social and never really got a chance to be this close to a real girl without getting told go away or just plain being ignored.
Thus when combining this and with Dantom's strange interest, there were a number staff members that looked forward to seeing any Dolls at all. Thanks to the head of the Dolls project having such quirks actually worked out for a lot of the guys as they were able to get these girls in sense. It was not in the normal sense as the Dolls were not normal yet just that at various time Dantom would just call upon on the younger workers close to the Dolls in age. Then tell them they can pretty much have them as their girlfriend for the day. Considering Dantom's personality the people that he had working at the base with him both willingly and forcefully were ones that he had hand picked himself after looking over a profile that Bison had provided him.
He liked watching people and seeing how they did with various things. The point of 'rewarding' various members of his staff with one day with one of the Dolls as their girlfriend for the day. It was just another way of getting those that were here forcefully to become one of the willingly and keep the already willingly happy. These were guys that felt they would have never been able to have girls like this around them and others that had been torment by girls similar to them. Other then having to follow a strict guideline where breaking them would trigger the Dolls beat the crap out them, they were pretty much free to do whatever they wanted.
Dantom always found it interesting how the those he loan the Dolls to did not really treat them like they were Dolls unless they were the type that used this time to get their revenge for something that some girl had done to them in the past. The favorite among most the teens was Juni because she do just about anything within the guidelines while the fan favorite was Marz. That was because she was seen as the kind of the geek Doll since her specialty was hacking.
As twisted doctor walked by he noticed that there was one of his workers that seem in the middle ground between just ignoring the Dolls as they walked by because he felt sorry for them yet was watching Saru out the corner of his eye cause him to do a double take. Though he was shocked at who he realized that Saru was as he heard rumors about it but now that he was seeing the reality he could not help but just look a little longer then he should. Thus this got Dantom's attention and a smirk appeared on his face as he saw this as a chance to possibly fully convert the guy into a fully willingly member of his staff. That and he was interested in seeing what it would be like to have Saru(who was recently broken) to break someone that he was pretty sure was on the edge.
Arata was a little precautious as he got up and went over to his superior as those that were already been converted to being willingly Shadaloo members were either cheering him on or muttering cursing about him behind his back. While those that were on the opposite end of the spectrum were pretty much thinking this would be the last time they would see him as one of them. Arata himself was pretty worried as if the rumors were true he only hoped that Dantom was not aware of his little secret.
"Hey relax they are not going to bite. Are you girls?" Dantom told him as he stood uneasy near them.
"No Master Dantom" the three girls said.
To prove this further he order Saru and Marz took hold of his arms, with Saru on the right and Marz on the left. The blush that appeared on his face was lost on Saru and Marz who was only following the orders of Dantom.
Motion them to continue following after the girls started walking and weather he liked it or not Arata was forced to walk along with them. For if he did not really have a choice in the matter as if he did not walk the two Dolls would have simply dragged him along for they were not going to stop nor let the fact that non moving guy in between them.
The cursing and the solemn looks he got as they walked through the base was constant as he could understand the cursing. However the solemn looks were ones that he was sure why he was getting as sure he was probably going to be left alone with the two Dolls but it was not like this had not happened before though that with other Dolls. This time would be different if Saru who he thought she was before getting 're-educated' by Dantom.
Dantom stopped and had three Dolls following behind follow suit as well. What he originally had planned for the moment could wait as he was really just being impatient at the moment. The only reason he got the three of them was to just kill two birds with one stone as well ensure that everything went perfect when it was done for real. The black hair worker in question was named Arata gulped as he was called upon to he knew what was going to happen and was not really sure about how things were going to turn out.
Eventually the four of them made to a room that had number of different name depending on just what side you fell on when it came to working here. Some saw this room was one of the many perks that came with working here, others saw as just another reason why Dantom was so screwed up in the head. There was a third group that saw this room as one of the many place where they saw the 'light' in sense(or fall into the darkness in another) as they were 'upgraded' to the status of willingly members of Shadaloo.
The room was strangely enough relatively normal room that was model to look like the typical living room set up that people always see on TV. Dantom order Arata to sit down on the couch as he and the Dolls left through a another door. This was starting to worry him as this was not like the last time as before the girls would just stay in the room with him until his warped supervisor came back after a set amount of time. Not so with this time around as they left with him making him wonder just what the guy was up too as maybe this was something new that he had come up or there was going to be some kind of twist this time around.
'Ok Arata this is going to be just little different then before but do not let it get to you. You can get through this as their just mindless girl that had the misfortune of being transformed into Dolls. They can not be anymore then models in their current state' he thought trying to psyche himself up.
The Dolls maybe have the looks but that pretty much all they had when came to things beyond fighting or their specialty. They had no personality and utterly no social skills and this was coming from a guy that already pretty anti-social to began with. So even if Saru was who he thought she might have been before being put through the Dolls transformation he would not have to worry.
Time pass and then even more time pass and he just sat in that room no moving or touching anything as he pretty much unsure of what to do. At time Dantom was just as difficult to figure out as Bison was at times. Both have rather weird quirks and wrapped personality that makes it unable to tell how they are going to deal with things. It was going around the base that he almost choked out Tanaka from Japanese Branch even though he just gave the guy a promotion no more then three minute earlier.
What happened next was something that Arata would have never expected as the door burst up and standing there were two people that he barely recognize as the ones had been with him until they had arrived in this room.
"Hey there I am Saru and this here is Marz" the former Kasugano said as she was once again dressed in the old school uniform that she had been captured in.
"Hi" Marz said as she stood slightly behind Saru wearing a baggy shirt and jeans.
"So what do you think of this outfit Arata as I know you are huge fan of Sakura Kasugano. I know all about her but never really met her so could you tell me what you know about her" Saru asked as she grabbed Arata's hand to stare into his face.
As he did this he noticed that while her eyes were still lifeless and vacant the expression on her face, body language, personality were all there.
"Hey Marz! You had something you want to say well get too it" Saru said as she pushed the hacker Dolls before Arata.
Again when she looked at him her eyes were the same as Saru's but rather then being activate personality she seem shy and somewhat timid.
Arata then shocked once again for the three time as the first was when he confirmed that Saru was once Sakura Kasugano and the second was when rather having to deal with the normal mindless and soulless Dolls. What he was facing before him were girls that were not really either yet apparently still being controlled because their eyes had not really changed one bit.
This time being that he realized who Marz was before she was transformed into the hacker Dolls that she is now. Back before he was 'convinced' to work for Dantom he dabbled in hacking and had meet someone that he developed a friendship with online. They would chat all the time and they were pretty much the formed a good friendship to the point where they were planning to meet offline. However then they just stopped responding to them after a strange e-mail that had gotten which he did not really understand until right now.
Not only was Marz the online friend that he had made yet suddenly vanished to never contact him again but he learned she was a girl. Not only that but rather attractive looking girl that he now had standing before him once again. Sure she was no longer that person as just like Saru neither of them were aware the people they were claiming to be fans of were actually themselves.
"Hey! Pay attention! Marz is talking to you" Saru said in demanding tone as she slapped the back Arata's head.
"Ssssaaaru! Stop that he might not like us and then neither one of us can learn about those we look up to" she said.
The black hair worker was just in daze as he rather then trying to get them to realize there was something wrong he just tried to assume Marz that he was just thinking about something and had spaced out for a moment.
From there things started out kind of award but eventually Arata got more comfortable with Saru and Marz as he began to forget this was just something Dantom had done to them again as regardless of how much time had passed. The one thing that remained constant was that their eyes stayed lifeless and vacant no matter how vibrant their expression or body language.
"Go! Go! Kick their ass" Saru yelled as busy watching herself fight in old tournament(yet completely unaware it her)
Though as this was going on and she got up to complain about a call thus Marz and Arata were left on the couch alone. Slowly Marz with blush on her face scooted over until she was touching his hand getting his attention. Once she had moved in slowly closing the space in between until they were right next to each other.
Marz and Arata then closed their eyes as they got closer and closer as they were almost about to make contact in what was about to be Arata's first kiss when…nothing happened.
Arata could still feel Marz's breathing yet all of sudden she had just stopped for some reason. Opening his eye he was in shock as the blue hair girl was just sitting there apparently frozen in time. It was not just her as Saru had apparently noticed what was going on and was watching them but she too appeared to be frozen in time. He even went over and tapped the brown hair girl on the shoulder only for her to fall over as he cause her to lost her balance.
"Well…Well…How did you like your time with Saru and Marz?" Dantom said as he entered the room.
Arata went to say something but all that happened was his mouth opened yet nothing really came out despite how much he tried.
"Cat got your tongue well then Marz, what would you say that Mr. Arata here had during his time with the two of you" he asked.
At this Marz's eyes shot up and her expression as well as the blush on her face until this time instantly vanished as she returned to be what Arata had expected a Dolls to be rather then who she was for the time she had come here.
Standing at attention Marz then went into detail about what had happened and the emotions that were course through her until the moment of the kiss they almost shared.
Arata went and grabbed Marz by the shoulder and tried to get her to act like the she was just five minute ago.
"Hey Arata…..remove your hands from my shoulders or prepare for the consequence" she told him as she changed back to her more human persona before almost instantly going back to her Dolls one.
When he did not do not so he found that there was a pair of hands grasped around his neck and were about to crush it.
"Request for removal ignored. Preparing to carry out the consequence" Saru said as she too had returned to her normal Dolls persona.
"Halt" Dantom called out as Saru did just and stood there awaiting further orders.
"So Arata you really like how the two of them were while in here" he asked as Saru's hand had loosened up enough that he was able to nodded his head in respond "Well then the answer is simply if you want to them to act like that again then simply again to work for me without having to be forced and you can have some time like this with them again"
Saru and Marz acting likely could be all yours the wrapped doctor said as to prove his point the gave Marz command that cause this to happen.
"Saru! What are you…doing to Arata…stop that….right….." the blue hair girl said as she was switching back and forth between her more human persona and her Dolls one where she stood there starring at him.
Dantom then gave the employee a pat on the shoulder as he promised him as long he did want he was told of his own free will he would get some quality time with Marz in her more human like state then in the current Dolls one that she was normally in. That pretty much how he managed to make Arata crack as he agreed to the terms and was told when he could get that time next as long he follow Dantom and Shadaloo doing whatever the asked without questioning it. Otherwise he just get the time with the soulless and mindless Marz.
As for why the twisted doctor had even gone and created something like this were his Dolls could act like normal girls again it was because he found that this might be easier for them to blend in with the crowd better. Cammy was excellent agent and Dolls yet her lack of personality that cause her to stand out too much. Sure Dantom loved it and still does but he wanted that something to make seem unexpected as everyone knew about Cammy now even the title of Killer Bee that she went by. So now that the other Dolls were ready for some high profile mission that would have to deal with multiple targets and take longer then just a couple of days.
What Dantom was planning in fact was way to keep people from possibly connecting what Cammy did to what he and Bison had planned for the other Dolls to carry out. Until now because she was the only one suited for these type of missions Cammy was the consider the face of the Dolls unit never did anyone seem to think that there might be more then one Dolls. This could in turn work in their favor as they think to know what to expect when it comes to what a Dolls is and truly the would not be wrong as that pretty much it. A girl devoid of emotion and lifeless as well soulless eyes.
However what if they could not see that right away as while he has proved unsuccessful in getting the life to show back up in their eyes. Otherwise he had been very successful in managing to reactivate their original personality and only that. They still under his control and be flipped back into their normal Dolls selves at any moment. Though until that time has come they will act like normal girls again that only see their former lives as stranger and go by the names they have has Dolls. As for the weak spot being that their eyes still give away they are not really back to normal and just programming act cooked up by Dantom. It could easily be hidden with a pair of contacts as Shadaloo had some that cover up this flaw pretty easily.
