Meanwhile, in Nastenka's place, Mion laid down the broken Enju, next to Shion, who died from a huge jolt to the heart. Mion's body was gradually moving again, after Cy revived her from her paralysis. Mion sniffled, as Enju was laid straight, but her attention was to her sister.
"Shion…" she sniffled, "My sister… Her heart stopped, and she's not moving. That robot, she killed her." She bawled, as she was crying for her sister.
Downstairs, Cy repaired Nastenka, putting her head back on. Cy whispered, as she looked into her eyes, "I never said it, but… You were a big sister to me… Nastenka." Her Cyon personality remained, though inside her android body, she was still Cy. "You're not like Onii-chan, my dear Onii-chan… But you saved my life, and now… I saved yours. Big Sister…"
Cy hugged Nastenka's body, and placed her head on her soft chest. Cy did not cry or anything. She was emotionless, being she has switched personalities and emotions.
"Zina… Mama… everyone… I want this nightmare to be over." Cy said, "Tycoon, he can't be alive again… After what he did to Enju. That robot… She's Enju. I know it…"
She closed her eyes and whispered, "Big Sister… Tell me… What do I have to do… to save… my… Onii-chaaaaaa-."
Cy powered down, holding Nastenka. Her batteries died, after her battle with Enju. Nastenka woke up, and then turned to the motionless Cy. Nastenka let out a smile and said, "You're… You saved me… Cy? Cy?"
Nastenka hugged her back and sniffled, "You're just like Kalinka… You do care for me, do you? Ka… linka…" Nastenka sobbed, as she hugged Cy, who was still lifeless.
Mion came downstairs and asked, "Nastenka? Hey, what happened? I heard sobbing, and-."
Nastenka said, "There's no need… Cy's dead. Well, her batteries are dead. Could you recharge her for me? And also, can you find me my clothes?"
Mion blushed and huffed, "Why didn't the robot convert me sooner?"

Nastenka was dressed, as Cy was recharging. She said to Mion, "So far, I'm able to mass-produce the antidote for the robot conversion. However, I can only create about a thousand or so. And knowing the Mizaki City populace, that's an extra zero." She then asked, "How's Shion?"
Mion bowed her head and sobbed, "She's dead. Her heart stopped… and that robot paralyzed me… only Cy massaged my body back. But I'm afraid it's too late for my sister."
Nastenka hugged her and said, "It's alright, Mion, Shion's in a better place now. Avenge her, when we arrive in Obnubi Headquarters."
Mion sniffled, "I can't… I can't fight them, without Shion. Cyon… She's like my sister, only…"
"Well, that's true, but if we end Obnubi, we can delete that programming."
"YOU WOULDN'T!"
"Yes, I can!" Nastenka said, "Even so, if Cy dies now, it's all over. Even I cannot fight the Tycoon, at my current strength. Plus, my body's been damaged enough. We're staying here to examine the E-3698 robot… and maybe learn how to use this antidote."
"But what about Cy?"
"She'll come to. It'll take an hour, but we have time, in order to revive and restore the robot. She said that she was human, created by The Tycoon, her grandfather. How she was converted remains a mystery to us…"
They went upstairs to see Shion and Enju, as Nastenka continued, "In any case, we have to use the robot ninja and learn who she was, before the conversion. We'll worry about Shion, later."
Mion said, as she sniffled, "Nastenka… If, for some moment, I turn into a robot, as well… Please kill me."
Nastenka nodded, "You'd rather be human, than be an android like me?"
"No… If I become a robot, and my sister is gone, I'm lonely…"
"You still have me, Mion… I'm sure Shion will wake up… or rather, move on… Even so, her body stopped functioning, when her heart ceased. It stopped beating, but… it appears that there's no way around it. We can accept Shion's death."
Mion wept, as Nastenka replied, "No, I'm kidding! We can save Shion! Trust me!" She turned to Enju and said, "First things first, we have to examine her."
Mion nodded and said, "Please do."
They went to work on Enju, as they examined her body. Nastenka analyzed her, and read her bios, "Unit E-3698, Obnubi Ninja. Granddaughter of Naganobu Saion-Ji. Leader of the Obnubi Collective of android ninjas, programmed to erase all human life in the Ninja World, including his hated enemies, The Ninja Seeking Club." She then saw the bios, and responded, "It says here that this android was once… Enju Saion-Ji… She must be the granddaughter to the bastard."
Mion asked, "You think that's really her?"
"Unsure…" Nastenka stated, "But if we do not install the antidote into her, she might stay this way, forever. Who knows what damage The Tycoon has done?"

Outside MEA Headquarters, Yamabuki and Akari threw Zina's faceless and naked body into the bin. Her arms were removed, and her legs bent back. Parts of her face and skin were thrown into the bin, down below. Akari then said, "Unit I-5177. Dismantle Beretta."
Ikiru nodded, as she held up a naked Beretta, who was completely converted. She responded, "MEA is under our control now, Beretta. You shall be… dismantled… NO room for useless parts."
She removed her head from her body, and then beeped, "You are relieved of your duties as manager."
Yamabuki responded, "Master Tycoon gave me reigns. I, Unit B-5805, am now MEA Manager, by order of Obnubi. The plan continues."
Ikiru removed all of Ikiru's parts, as Akari said, "I must go home now. I must see Mom, for visitation."
She departed, as Yamabuki responded, "Hurry back to Obnubi HQ, once you are done. We're finished here in MEA."
Beretta's parts were thrown into the bin, mixing with Zina's discarded parts. Ikiru and Yamabuki departed with the huge bin of parts, while Akari retired to her home in Mizaki City, for a visit.

Minutes later, Akari returned home, as she called, "Mother Unit. I am home."
She was still in her ninja outfit, as she said, "Sorry that I was late. Master made me work all day."
Mari Hanao called, "Of course, my dear… I forgive you, Unit H-1610. She was a woman with long blonde hair, done in a pigtail, with dark pink LED eyes on her faceless face. She was wearing a sleek blue sweater and white skirt, with an apron. She, too, was a robot, as well.
Mari beeped, "Unit H-1610, recharge for the night, before you return to the master. I had L-7179 come over for a visit, for tea. But we do not drink tea."
Akari nodded, "Thank you, Unit M-1610."
Akari and Mari waited until tomorrow to head to Obnubi HQ. During the battle, Lily, who was also a robot, converted Mari, since she's a retired ninja.

At Momochi Village, Myu & Tengge battle Tayu, who was shocked by the new look of her daughter.
"Myu Momochi, stop this, at once! I do not wish to fight you." She pleaded, "You're a sweet innocent girl."
"No longer I am sweet and timid." Myu said, "I, Unit M-6060, will make you join us."
Tengge said, "This is my battle, M-6060. Please stay back."
Myu responded, "You may. I will offer assistance in battle."
Tayu thought, "So, she'll let Tengge fight me? This is bad. But knowing my daughter, her Future Sight may be useful for Tycoon. I have to be one step ahead, in order to avoid any of her attacks. My premonitions won't work against robots like her."
Tengge prepared, "NOW!" She swung her fan down, and Tayu avoided it. She held up a ninja sword and said, "Let us duel, robot!"
Myu called, "Turn left!" Tengge turned left, as Tayu swung her sword at her. Tengge caught it with her fan, with ease.
"What?"
"You fool." Tengge said, "Your premonitions that M-6060 hold are more advanced than your primitive premonitions. Now, you shall be… deleted."
She broke the sword in half, as Tayu gasped, "No way… She's smarter than me?"
Tengge swung her fan down and cried, "Strange Flame Shiranui." She split into four clones, and smacked and slashed onto Tayu, using the Full Moon Fan.
Myu responded, "Left, right, right, left, left, up, left, down, left." She responded to Tayu's evasive moves, which Tengge was able to counter. Myu beeped, "Probability of escape: 0%. Momochi Premonitions are feeble, but useful, when it comes to advanced technology. We shall be superior to your primitive skills, Mother. Soon, Obnubi will control all."
Tayu was pushed back, and Tengge went closer, "Ha-ha." She giggled, "You shall be destroyed. You failed. Not even your future sight will defeat us."
Tayu cried, "Ohhh… Where's Fuu when you need her?"
Myu responded, "Fuu? Who is Fuu?"
Tayu said, "She's your Familiar. Do you not forget? She has always been by your side, since she-."
"SILENCE!" Myu said, "I, Unit M-6060, am not familiar with magical beasts. I refuse to accept beasts to aid us. Only machines can aid us."
Tengge said, "Tayu Momochi. We will show you that your Beast Seal Scrolls are useless against Obnubi Androids, like us. Soon, you shall be assimilated… and demolished… and purged."
They went closer, as Tayu was cornered. Myu & Tengge won, defeating Myu's now-former mother. Myu responded, "T-6663, I, M-6060, will run Momochi Village, on behalf of Obnubi. Let me be the one to assimilate my mother."
Tengge responded, "As you wish." She dispersed, as Myu went to her, "Mother. You have failed. Not even your own scroll jutsu can save you. Once I take over, I am burning away ALL of the Beast Seal Scrolls, and they are never to be used again. Scrolls are useless. Scrolls are obsolete. Machine beasts are… new to Obnubi."
Tayu sobbed, "Please… I beg of you… Myu, listen to me! You're brainwashed! This isn't you! MYUUUUUUUUUUU!"
Myu stopped and said, "Mom? M-Mom?" She was controlling herself, as she was still soaked from the radiant light from earlier. She struggled, as she beeped, "Destroy Tayu Momochi." She beeped, "NO! Mom? No, it… I can't hurt… her… Tayu Momochi must be assimilated. Unit M-6060 is head of Momochi Village, as part of Obnubi's new rule. No… Get… out… of my… head!"
Tayu asked, "M-Myu? Are you okay?"
Tengge called, "Unit M-6060, what are you doing? Assimilate her! DO IT!"
Myu struggled, as she beeped, "Must… assimilate… former mother… Mom… NO! I can… cannot… I cannot, but… I must…"
Tengge called, "Permit me. But let me assimilate her. You seemed to be shaken. Repairs are needed for you."
Myu beeped, "I am fine. Please… let me assimilate Mom."
Tengge gasped, as she asked, "You call her Mom? She is your ex-mother. You are a robot, programmed to obey Tycoon. We obey the Tycoon and Obnubi. Do you not see that?"
Myu responded, "Unit T-6663, do not intervene. A malfunction doesn't prevent me from a mission. I must. I must!" She held her hand out and said, "Forgive me, Mom… I'm… I'm sorry."
Tayu called out, "NO! This isn't you! Something changed you from inside! The Tycoon, he speaks lies; utter nonsense! He wishes to destroy, not protect! He almost destroyed our village, if not for Cy! You cannot be controlled! Not ever again!"
Myu gasped, as she remembered the time she was once controlled by the Yatagarasu, after becoming Dark Myu. Sadly, she turned on them to rejoin her friends, upon learning the truth about her past. Myu bowed her head and whispered, "I… won't let you… manipulate me… this time…"
She cried to her mother, "YOU WOULD CARE FOR ME, AFTER EVERYTHING YOU DID? You locked me in a damned cell, after we visited you! You deserve to die!" She yelled, "I hate you, Mom! I HATE YOU!"
She growled, as her eyes flashed red, but she didn't fire. She sobbed, "So… Why am I not hurting you? You interfere in my love life, you drug food, you always tease me about Kazuki-senpai, and that makes you better than me, you old bag?"
This wasn't Myu talking… It was Dark Myu talking, inside her robot shell. Tengge gasped, "Error! M-6060, do as you are programmed! Assimilate Tayu Momochi, before she escapes!"
Myu roared, turning her head to Tengge, "SHUT UP!"
BLAST!
Myu blasts Tengge onto her chest. She collapsed, as Myu went to Tayu, speaking like Dark Myu, "Stay out of my life… Mother… STAY! THE HELL! AWAY FROM ME! Because, from now on… you're not my Mom… anymore…"
She put her arm down and sniffled, "Hau… Mom, what am I becoming? I want to kill you, but… I cannot…"
Tayu said, "I know what… Your dark side has come back, and it was suppressed for so long. Tycoon converted you, yet it was freed. Myu, you're not a bad girl… and I'm sorry for everything. I taught you so well, Myu. I love you."
Myu sniffled, "You don't know me too well, Mom… You… You always do this to me… But how can I hurt you, the way I am? I… refuse to… let you… be with them!" She gripped her hand and said, "No… Even if I do not get my body back, I must…"
"What are you going to do, Myu?"
Myu flashed her eyes pink and beeped, "I must kill myself. If I cannot do the job I am told, then I fail as a ninja. That is why I must commit Robot Seppuku. In other words… I must Self-Destruct."
Tayu gasped, "SELF-DESTRUCT?! ABSOLUTELY NOT! I REFUSE TO LET MY DAUGHTER DIE, AFTER SHE IS BEING CONTROLLED BY NAGANOBU SAION-JI! NOT NOW, NOT EVER! YOU FOUGHT EVIL, AND YOU ALWAYS WON! YOU FOUGHT OBNUBI BEFORE, THEN THE DRAGON, RYUJIN, THEN THE YATAGARASU, AND THEN THE MAN THAT SCARRED YOU FOR LIFE! You think I care about letting you die, because you're a failure? NO! You're better than that! I didn't raise a quitter! I raised a ninja!"
Myu sniffled, as she whimpered, "Mom… I'm sorry… but it's too late… I, Myu Momochi, must self-destruct… and I'm taking you with me."
She undressed herself, completely naked, and pressed her right nipple, flashing red. She beeped, "This unit will self-destruct in 10 minutes." She threw a chain onto Tayu's legs and arms, as she was trapped. Myu responded, "Goodbye, Mom… I will always love you…"
Myu was counting down, as she decided to destroy herself and her mother, to avoid being Obnubi's puppet and to kill the one person she loved, almost as much as Kazuki Araya. Myu was going to die with honor.
"Know this, Mom… You and I will die together, knowing that this is the only way… I will die for honor, because I will not be… a tool for evil. I, Myu Momochi, will end my life for the Momochi Clan… and you're going with me. Even so, I cannot fail my programming and orders. At least I will kill you, along the way. Forgive me, Mom…"
Tayu sobbed, "Noooooooo! Myu Momochi! Don't do this! Help me! I'm trapped! I'm stuck like this! Myu! MYUUUUUUUUUUUUUU! DON'T DO THIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIS!"
Myu was counting down, "This unit will self-destruct in 8 minutes. I suggest that you make your last pleas, if you do not evacuate."
Tengge was coming to, as she beeped, "Ow… Ha-ha. Damage minimal. Oh?" She saw a naked Myu and beeped, "Traitor! You do not kill Tayu Momochi, then I will! Tycoon will hear of this deception, Unit M-6060! I will finish your task, and once she is dead, you shall be punished for your insubordination!" She held her fan and shone her LED eyes red. She beeped, "Kill Tayu Momochi!"
Myu responded, "Do not… interfere, Tengge-senpai."
Tengge gasped, as she beeped, "You wish to not assimilate Tayu Momochi? Good." She held her hand out and boomed, "You can join her!"
She zapped energy into Myu, draining her battery life. Muy slurred, "Hau-hau-hau-hau-hau… hau… hau… haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaauuuuuuuuuu…" Myu stood in place, as her eyes went black, and was shut down. Myu was gone.
"HUMAN EMOTIONS STILL CONTROL YOUR ROBOT BODY, MYU MOMOCHI!" Tengge boomed, "I, UNIT T-6663, SHALL COMPLETE YOUR TASK, TRAITOR!" She approached her and said, "Tayu Momochi, you shall be assimilated, at once! You and Myu Momochi will die together! As spare parts!"
A voice called out, "Not so fast!"
A pink rabbit appeared from top of Myu's head. It was Fuu. She said to Tengge, "You forgot one thing…" She dove into Myu's robot body, and suddenly, she changed.
"WHAT?" Tengge gasped, "WHAT IS THIS?"
Myu's body was taller, as she was dressed in a revealing white outfit. She also had pink knee-high boots on, and her pink hair was longer. The light faded, and Myu remained as a robot. But…
"This… This transformation!" Tengge beeped, "This does not compute!"
Tayu smiled, "Yes… Thank you, Fuu. Now, you robot demon, you shall see TRUE Power from the Momochi Clan!"
Myu remains a robot, but she transformed into her ultimate technique from her family and clan - The Way of the Beast!
Myu responded, as her LED pnk eyes flashed, "Tengge-senpai, you will not harm my mother, any longer!"
Tengge beeped, "TRAITOR!"
They dashed forward, as Myu and Tengge began to fight each other. However, despite that Myu is reactivated… there was a problem. It wasn't just a battle for humanity…
"This unit will self-destruct in 8 minutes."
It was a battle for time.
