Myu beeped, and responded, "Good afternoon, Akari Hanao. My name is Unit M-6060. I am a ninja robot for Obnubi."
They gasped, as Akari & Yamabuki cried, "OBNUBI?!" Zina whispered, "Impossible… Obnubi? There's no way!"
Akari sobbed, "Obnubi?! Myu, what's gotten into you?"
Beretta growled, "Damn! She's converted! There's no way we can talk to her now. But the process… it was instant…"
She left, as Zina said, "This is terrible. Myu is a robot… that kunai… It can revert a person into a robot! So, that's why! But why? Why bring Obnubi into this?"
Zina pondered, as Akari sobbed, "This is terrible… Our friend is an android… And someone as Enju attacked her."
Yamabuki said, "This is bad, fam. What, why, and how did it happen?"
Akari moaned, "I don't know. But still… Why is Myu turned into a life-sized toy?"
Myu examined Akari & Yamabuki, and then responded, "Akari Hanao. Yamabuki Suou. You are friends of M-6060. Analyzing… you are going to be one of us."
Akari barked, "Myu, it's us! Don't you remember? We helped you get stronger, learning the Way of Beast technique!"
Myu beeped, "Technique? We learn from our creators. I am Unit M-6060, and you shall be assimilated. Yes. While processing of conversion was underway, you shall be one of us." She turned to Zina, and then asked, "Why side with Empress Zina? She is a traitor." Her eyes dimmed to red and beeped, "Traitor."
Yamabuki called, "Wait! Myu-Myu, go easy on Zina! She isn't your enemy."
Myu said, "Wrong. Empress Zina is our enemy. She betrayed Obnubi. And now, we are here to assimilate everyone to form the new Obnubi." She turned to Yamabuki, "As for you, Yamabuki Suou, I understand that you like my chassis."
"Chassis? I think ya mean chest. Chassis means yer butt."
"Incorrect. My chassis is my entire skin casing. My chest, my arms, my legs, my butt, and my head. I am deeply realistic and very durable. You enjoy my chest, dear Suou. You have had a touch. But can you touch your own?"
Myu turned to Yamabuki, as Yamabuki held her chest, "HAH! Just ya try, Robo-Myu!"
Akari shrieked, as she cried, "YAMABUKI!" Yamabuki paused, as she saw her hands. They were turned into robot hands. "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH! Now don't panic… She's bluffing."
Myu said, "You should have never touched M-6060. Once converted, my body is under processing of conversion. If touched, while I am being converted, you shall receive assimilation, like me. Only faster."
Akari looked at her left hand and sobbed, as it was changing, "No… Zina! What just-?"
Zina was shocked, as she was speechless, seeing Yamabuki and Akari, changing slowly but surely. Yamabuki wept, "Okay… Now panic."
Myu beeped, "Quick change!"
Akari and Yamabuki changed into their ninja outfits, and Akari gasped, "NO! Myu, what are you-?"
Myu responded, "Akari Hanao, Yamabuki Suou, it is too late to resist. I welcome you to… Obnubi."
Yamabuki sobbed, "Z-, Zina?" Her arms were slowly converted, and Akari's legs started to change. Yamabuki cried, "DO SOMETHIN', ZINA!"
Akari wept, "My legs… They, ugh… I cannot move!"
Yamabuki wailed, "HELP ME! BERETTAAAAAAAAAAA!"
Myu grabbed their necks from behind, and spoke, "Quiet. Obnubi Ninjas do not cry."
They both screamed, and their voices started to distort. Zina gasped, "NO! What have you done?" She cried, "DAMMIT! OBNUBI CANNOT BE ALIVE AGAIN! WHY?"
Myu said, as she put her arms down, "Silence your mouth, traitor. You shall be executed. Become one of us, convicted to your sins. Traitors will go punished."
Akari and Yamabuki turned into the same robots as Myu, with only LED eyes, no mouths, and wearing their outfits.
Akari responded, "I am Unit H-1610. I am a ninja robot for Obnubi."
Yamabuki responded, "I am Unit B-5805. You can call me B-5805."
Zina cried, "DAMN YOU, TYCOON! Why are you doing this?"
Myu said, "The Tycoon, you say? Do you know Naganobu Saion-Ji? He created us."
Akari added, as she went forward, "We obey him."
Yamabuki ended, "And you will join us… by creating a new Obnubi… But we start…"
They grabbed Zina by the arms, as Myu held her index finger up, "We start by creating you. You shall rejoin our New Obnubi."
Her finger sparked, as Myu asked her, "But… We shall spare you, if you answer us. Where… is Cy? The android you cherished?"
Zina barked, "I'LL NEVER TURN HER OVER TO YOU! EVEN IF I KNOW WHERE SHE IS, YOU'RE NOT HARMING A SOUL ON HER, YOU FIENDS! GIRLS, I IMPLORE YOU! SNAP OUT OF THIS TRANCE!"
Myu beeped, "If you refuse to cooperate, you shall be eliminated. Goodbye."
Myu poked Zina inside her cleavage, as Zina was screaming in pain. Beretta charged in and cried, "STOP!"
But she was too late. Zina was moaning and heaving, as her arms and legs started to give out. She collapsed to her knees and let out a blank look on her face. Akari beeped, "Assimilation complete."
Beretta gasped, "Assimilation?"
Zina's face opened, separating into different panels, exposing her exoskeleton face. They turned her into an android. Yamabuki removed a small chip inside, and Zina was powered off, leaving only an open face and lifeless body.
"No… Yamabuki? What did you do?" Beretta shivered.
Yamabuki responded, "Zina joins Obnubi. We obey our masters. We do not allow traitors into our mix." She crushed the chip into nothing, thus no longer waking up Zina. Zina, now as a lifeless robot, is gone.
Beretta shouted, "YAMABUKI! Listen to me! You're brainwashed! It's me, your boss!"
Yamabuki said, "Incorrect. My boss is the master. I am Obnubi's B-5805."
Beretta was stunned, as the robot ninjas went closer. Akari said, "And now, you shall be assimilated and destroyed, too. You side against us."
They went closer, as Beretta was cornered. She dropped to the ground, and Beretta pleaded, "Come on! It's me! I don't want to be a robot, either! NO! NOOOOOOOOOO!"
They went closer and closer, until…
SHING!
Akari started to glow. A bright light shone all around the room. Beretta blinded herself, as Akari beeped, "DANGER! DANGER! ENTITY DETECTED! My mind… is… goooooooooo…"
The robots powered down, as Beretta moved her hands out of her face. She whispered, "No way… What just happened? Did they… Did they overheat, or self-destruct?"
Akari started to move, as Beretta cried, aiming her gun at her, "HALT! DO NOT MOVE, ROBOT!"
Akari gasped, "EEK! WAIT! IT'S ME! BERETTA, IT'S ME!"
Beretta was confused, as she asked, "Huh? Wait… You're…"
Akari suddenly regained her persona, but it seems that her body remains the same. Akari looked at herself and whimpered, "Oh, no… My hands… What happened to me?"
Yamabuki moaned, "ungh… Ya tell me, Akari… Why are my legs so stiff?"
Myu moaned, "Owww… Senpai? What happened?"
Yamabuki laughed, "OH! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Myu-Myu, you look adorable! You look like a Robot Expo Display!"
Myu gasped, "HAU?! YOU, TOO! Akari-senpai, so did you!"
Akari felt her face and sobbed, "No way… What just happened?"
Beretta said in worry, "Y-You tell me… I… Ladies, I don't know how to say it, but…" She then said, "I believe that you girls need to know the full story. But first, I want to talk to Myu, alone. You were attacked by Enju... only she's NOT Enju."
Myu sobbed, "I… I don't know… I wish I could… remember…"
Akari said, "Oh…"
Beretta called to the guards, "As for you two, we may need you for questioning. Guards, take them to their cell! But don't touch them! They may resonate with some agent that leads to conversion."
Yamabuki said to her, "But… Beretta, I'm not a robot, fam."
Beretta held up a mirror and pointed at Yamabuki. Yamabuki shrieked, and then fainted. Akari caught her, and then said, "I'm sorry… Please… Fix this!"
Beretta said, "We'll see. For now, you may leave. Take them away!"
The guards escorted Akari & Yamabuki away, as Myu stayed behind. She asked, "What'll happen to my friends?"
Beretta responded, "We'll see… For now, I'd like to ask you what you know, the night you were attacked. Follow me."
Myu said, "Yes, ma'am…"
She escorted Myu to another room, as Myu offered to help with the Obnubi Crisis.

Yamabuki and Akari were in their cell, as they were seperated. Yamabuki sighed, "I cannot believe it…" She looked at her hands, "I'm a machine. Why? Akari, I…"
"Locked up in MEA Jail…" Akari sighed, "And I'm stuck with a new body. Mom will freak, if she sees me like this. Though, I'm glad to hear that I'm alright. I can't believe Obnubi is behind this. But I don't believe that Enju betrayed us."
Yamabuki said, "Me neither. Hey, it did remind me of how I once-."
"DON'T!" Akari barked, "Just… don't!" She was referring to the one moment she chose not to talk about.
"Sorry…" Yamabuki said, "But still, even I don't believe that Enju is the one, fam. But we know the truth. Robots attacked us, and they're from Obnubi."
"Yeah… I thought it was Yatagarasu, but even they don't have technology."
"That's true." Yamabuki then bowed her head and held her hard breasts, "Still… I'm stuck as a lifelike HRC Robot, like one of those toys." She opened and closed her hand and said, "At least I am flexible."
Akari sighed, "It feels off, even as a robot. Do you think, in my chassis, I should wear a bra? The last bras I wore started to tear apart."
Yamabuki sighed, "Yeah… I'm surprised that yer chest remains in shape, yet you're made of steel."
Akari asked, "Still, why did Myu suddenly change into a slave?"
"No idea. But I was shocked that we regained our identities… When I was changed into a lifelike robot slave ta Obnubi, my mind was fading, becoming one with my robotic slave programming. Not ta mention that I lost the ability to be myself. Was this Obnubi's new programming? If so, then who is at fault here?"
Akari flashed her eyes and said, "I do not know. I tried to process the data in this body, but I suddenly regained control."
"Rats. Well, Beretta will think of something…" They both sighed, as Yamabuki wiggled her fingers. She moaned in sadness, "Why did it hafta come ta this? I'm a freak."
Akari sobbed, as she placed her head on her knees, "Why, Enju? Why? How can I feel no emotion?"
Akari was crying, but no tears came out. Yamabuki said, in distress, "Where is Cy-Cy? Where is she, when you need her?"

Myu explained everything to Beretta, as they were between a huge glass divider.
"We divided into groups, and Cy left to find one of the girls that was following her… and suddenly, I remembered that I was attacked. Tried my best, but a hooded woman appeared to me, and attacked me. I recognize the body and voice. It was Enju-senpai!"
Beretta asked, "Where was the real Enju?"
"She was with Akari-senpai, while Tengge-senpai and Lily-senpai were somewhere else. After that, I tried my best to defeat Enju, but she took me down with a lethal blow to the stomach. But… after that, everything went black, after a sharp pain in my back."
"I see… and that's when Enju stabbed you, and you are like this."
Myu sobbed, "Hau… This isn't fair. I thought I was dead, but I look like a toy robot. Beretta-san, please don't tell Mom about this."
Beretta said, "Don't worry. You're safe with me. But Akari needs to know the story."
Minutes later, Akari came to Beretta, and she told her side of the story.
"I was with Enju, when Myu was attacked. When we saw clues on the attacker, she ordered me to side with her, while Cy & Myu and Lily & Tengge formed teams. When Myu was attacked, Cy & I took her back to Zina… and I was ordered to stay home. And it led to Cy and the others disappearing."
"I see… And you don't think it's Enju?" Beretta asked.
Akari responded, "No… I don't want it to be Enju. She's innocent."
Beretta said, "Still, it makes sense that Obnubi has resurfaced. And it led to the disappearance of all four of their ninjas, Saion-Ji, Yomoda, Fuma, & Cy. They were remnants of Obnubi, before Kazuki Araya, alongside you and Myu, were able to defeat the Tycoon, Naganobu Saion-Ji. But there's no way that the Tycoon ever resurfaced."
Akari said, "That's what I thought. But… It's not that I have pondered… I… I am programmed to obey Obnubi, but a side of me says NO! Beretta… Do you think?"
Beretta was astonished, as she thought, "You don't think? Could it be?" She asked, "We'll see what we can do, by hacking into your CPU brains. We're trying to save everyone and end this. You, Akari, are a part of this, but I cannot let you surrender to Obnubi."
Akari said, "I'll try."
Minutes later, Yamabuki and Beretta meet, as Yamabuki gave the whole story.
"The attacks continued, as the six ninjas split up, as usual. However, there's more…" She continued, as she was uneasy, "After Cy-Cy left with Akari, it happened. Enju, Tengge, and Lily were attacked by three women in hoods, namely ninja clones. But then, as soon as Enju hunt down Cy, a ninja came ta me, shrouded in black, and has long ears from her head."
"Long ears?! What is it?"
"Long ears, a bushy tail, and she resem… bles… Lil…" She gasped, "No… Beretta, is it true that Lily Fuma is half-werewolf?"
"Yes. You told me so, after your visit to the hot springs, and that Kazuki freed the Fox Curse, thus comforting White Fox and the Nine-Tailed Fox. Why?"
Yamabuki shivered, as her eyes flickered, "It's…"
She was at the alley, in human form, hoping to follow Cy, but she saw a figure that resembles Lily, only it was with wolf ears, a huge snout for a mouth, LED yellow eyes, and razor sharp metal teeth. This werewolf is an android, too, only she resembles a hybrid of Lily Fuma, who was born the blood of her mother, a werewolf named Yuri Fuma.
Yamabuki ran off, as she staggered away, running from the robot wolf woman. The werewolf android did a stance and chased Yamabuki. But she stopped, as the moon went behind a cloud. The werewolf robot scampered away and disappeared into the darkness, possibly returning to her lab, Obnubi HQ.
Yamabuki whispered, "And when I stopped running… I was frightened. I forgot all about Cy-Cy, and I decided I would retreat for now. Until the next day… I was too late."
Beretta asked, "A werewolf android?! Wait… Lily Fuma's half-Iboro blood, and she can turn into a werewolf, sometimes in heat. But I never knew there were cyborg werewolves. Yamabuki, did you have that image of this creature?"
Yamabuki beeped, "Printing image from three nights ago… Hang on, fam." She produced a sheet of paper from her chest. She removed it and showed the image of the Robot Wolf. Beretta nodded and said, "This mysterious werewolf is definitely Obnubi's android tech. And it does match Lily Fuma's likeness, at about 85% accuracy."
Yamabuki bowed and said, "It is done. But… Ya think it's…"
Beretta responded, "We're going to have a nice long chat… with Elly Fuma. No, wait. I'm going to speak with Elly Fuma. You're staying, since you're like this. I will contact you, should we need something from you."
Yamabuki said, "Right. Should I watch over Akari & Myu?"
Beretta said, "You may… only… I don't get why you changed back, after a huge blinding light. I have no clue." she then offered, "Yamabuki, you're in charge, for the moment. I will talk to Elly Fuma in Fuma Village, about this weird robot werewolf of Lily Fuma."
Yamabuki replied, "Yes. I rather not stand any longer. I must go recharge. What? I'm still a robot, but I'm still Bookie, fam!"
Beretta huffed, "Whatever you say."
Yamabuki remains in MEA, to watch over Akari & Myu, while Beretta leaves to her car. She called the driver, "Fuma Village, driver."
She drove off, heading to Fuma Village, to have a word with Elly Fuma, vice manager of Flower Fantasy Garden, the theme park of the village, and Lily's sister. But as Beretta leaves, Yamabuki joins Akari & Myu. Two guards were standing beside Akari & Myu, who were standing in place, deactivated.
"Agent Beretta has left me, Unit B-5805, in charge of MEA, a new base for Obnubi." She beeped, as she reverted back to robot form. The two guards stand in attention, as they were converted into androids, like them. "Good. H-1610, M-6060, is Empress Zina in place?"
Myu responded, "The traitor has been deactivated and converted. She will be disassembled, as ordered by our leader."
Akari added, "Shall we convert her as our slave, as bait for Cy?"
Yamabuki paused and responded, "Negative. Zina is useless to us. Dismantle her and strip her, at once."
The three ninja robots approached the faceless Zina, and then proceeded to strip her of her clothing, and then take her apart, limb by limb. Apparently, the effects of the mysterious glow seemed to have worn off. Will Beretta be shocked by this sudden conversion in MEA?

Meanwhile, in a huge building, far from Mizaki City, a man was watching on, in the shadows.
"Excellent… While Cy is missing from our radar, we have neutralized the traitor, Zina." He spoke in a deep raspy voice, "It was a shame that the others are gone from my radar… including the boy. But… Soon enough, vengeance is mine."
A woman appeared with wolf ears, as she was behind the man. She bowed, "Hello, master. I have located the whereabouts of the MEA Headquarters. Beretta is making her way to Fuma Village. Should I convert Elly Fuma, before they arrive?"
The man said, "No, that's fine. We'll let our robot units convert her, when she comes back. As for the other three you captured, make sure that they are found… Iborobo."
The Lily Robot was called Iborobo, an android built to be half-human and half-werewolf. She let out a snarl and shone light from her yellow eyes.
