Kazuki and Yamabuki entered the building, as they stepped down. Yamabuki said that they have to find Johnny and the others. Hopefully, they can fix what Amarao is doing. Kazuki replied, "Great. You follow me… We can't split up. I lost so many today, but I cannot afford to lose you, either."

Yamabuki blushed, as she said, "Uh, thanks?"

They crept off, as they went to find the others.

Meanwhile, Cy was reactivated, while Nanao was coming to, feeling weak and sluggish. She moaned, "Ungh… where am I? My body feels… different…"

Kitsurubami said, "Good. You're awake. No one's around. Now, come on. We have to find your friends."

Cy scanned, "Everyone's present. Bookie and Onii-chan has entered."

Kitsurubami smiled, "Excellent. We'll split up. Cy, you and Kashima go off and head downstairs. Johnny and I will stay here."

Nanao asked, "Wait, what are you saying?"

She blushed, as Cy said, "Come on, Nanny…"

They departed to the downstairs area, as Kitsurubami told Johnny, "Shh… follow me. Maybe I can talk to the Commander about-."

Akari called out, "Lieutenant! What are you doing?"

Kitsurubami said, "He's free to go! But I need to talk to him about Spicer."

Myu called, "No! He is to stay here! Lieutenant, stand down!"

Johnny shouted, "NO! I love her! You can't break us apart!"

Akari growled, "That's too bad. Lieutenant, defeat him!"

Kitsurubami whimpered, and then whispered, "No, I couldn't…"

Myu replied, "Private! Seize him!"

Ricka appeared in the same uniform and beret, with her breasts shown. She grabbed Johnny, as she spoke, "Captured!"

Johnny gasped, "NANI?"

Ricka said, "Lieutenant Kitsurubami. Arrest him!"

Kitsurubami called, "NO! This is an order from your higher authority! Lemme speak to the Commander, at once! He must be pardoned!"

Ricka bowed, as Akari nodded, "Yes, lieutenant."

They stood in attention, as Kitsurubami smiled, "Good. Now, let me speak to the Commander."

Akari nodded, "Yes, ma'am. But he's not present."

Kitsurubami said, "Tell him I wish to meet with him."

Myu stated, "No."

"Are you disobeying orders, private?"

Ricka said, "No. We are obeying orders, lieutenant."

Kitsurubami shouted, "I said stand down! Lemme speak to Commander Amarao!"

They stared down, as Akari stated, glaring at her, "No… You don't deserve to speak to him. Lieutenant, stand down!"

Kitsurubami was shocked, as she was cornered.

Kazuki and Yamabuki entered the main hall, as they searched for Amarao's office. But…

"HALT!" Enju called, as she held her rifle, "Ninjas!"

Kazuki gasped, "Enju?"

Enju saluted, "Private Saion-Ji reporting! You are under arrest!"

She aimed her rifle at him, as Yamabuki swung a shuriken at her wrist. Her gun dropped, as Kazuki called, "Hold it! Enju, it's us! What are you doing? Why are you dressed like-?"

Enju said, "I am not Enju. I am Private Saion-Ji, and I am a proud soldier for the Department of Interstellar Immigration. Kazuki Araya, Yamabuki Suou, I refuse to let you escape!"

Yamabuki shouted, "ENJU! IT'S US! If you don't believe us, maybe you'll believe this!"

She held Kazuki's head and threw him into Enju's bare bosom. He blushed, as he was aroused, "AAAAGH! Her boobs are softer than I imagine!"

He squished her breasts, as Enju glared at him, "How dare you… You dog!"

POW!
She kicked him in the crotch, as Yamabuki gasped, "WHAT? NO LIGHTNING?"

He groaned, "I forgot… Amarao stole her jutsu…"

Yamabuki roared, "Damn him! Ugly guy's off my friends list! …not if I friended him to begin with."

Enju called, "You uncanny pigs! You're under arrest!"

Yamabuki cried, "NO! Don't shoot! We surrender!"

He griped, "Giving up already?"

She said, "I'm sorry… But even though she's changed, we can't fight her. I wish we knew what…"

He said to her, "Enju… I can't let him take you… But…"

He put his sword away and said, "Fine… We surrender."

Enju grabbed their wrists, as she said, "Very well. Come with me."

He groaned, "I broke a set… ow… I don't think I can walk…"

Enju boasted, "Start limping, you dog!"

He griped, "Call me a hentai, will you? MY Enju would call me that!"

Yamabuki sighed, "Oh, can it, you perv!"

He griped, "YOU threw me to her!"

"And you're still bleeding!"


Enju showed them to Amarao, as she said, "Sir, I have captured the ninjas, as you say."

He smiled, "Good work! Kazuki, Yamabuki, welcome…"

He snarled, "You bastard! What did you do to them?"

Amarao said, "Oh, I have ways."

Kitsurubami said, as she was held by Akari and Myu, "Kazuki… I'm afraid it's over."

Amarao stated, "I believe that Hanao and Momochi have known about Kitsurubami's deception. Lieutenant, what do you have to say for yourself?"

She groaned, "I don't even know who you are, anymore… What is wrong with you?"

Amarao said, "Why nothing! I have power! That is what I have! Hanao, Machiyuki, hold Spicer! Saion-Ji, restrain Araya!"

Yamabuki called, "Oh, no, you don't! You leave my friends alone! We're stopping you, no matter what!"

Amarao smiled, "That's too bad. I was hoping you'd surrender, but I see that we'll resort to even petty actions…"

He held up a dark red cube and said, "Do you see this? This is a power inside a ninja, and all in one little cube. But… I believe that I want to know about your ninjutsu."

Yamabuki gasped, as Kazuki was held by Enju. Myu stopped Kitsurubami, while Akari and Ricka held Johnny back. Amarao said, "Now, what is your ninjutsu, Suou?"

Kitsurubami called, "Don't tell him anything, Suou… Please…"

Yamabuki hissed, "Never!"

Amarao smirked, "Well… Then, here."

He threw the cube towards Yamabuki and caught it. She suddenly crushed the cube, and her eyes went blank, with a forced smile on her face. The others were shocked, as Kitsurubami approached Yamabuki. She waved her hand at her, but she didn't respond. She gasped, "Commander! WHAT DID YOU DO?"

Amarao called, "QUIET!"

He said to Yamabuki, "What is your ninjutsu, Suou?"

Yamabuki replied, "My ninjutsu is materialization. I can draw objects and people, even weapons, and they can come to life. However , it is limited, and my ninjutsu doesn't last forever."

Amarao said, "Brilliantly deduced… You can keep your ninjutsu…"

He approached her and touched her right eyebrow, "Soldier…"

Kazuki gasped, "GET YOUR HANDS OFF HER, YOU SCUMBAG!"

Kitsurubami cried, "COMMANDER, STOP!"

Johnny yelled, "LEAVE HER ALONE!"

Amarao stepped back, as he asked, "Can you change quickly? If so, wear what I ask you."

He whispered into her ear, and then Yamabuki quickly changed into the uniform that the others wore, expect her cleavage was shown a lot. Kazuki blushed, "WHOA!"

Yamabuki's eyebrow shows a small chip on it. Amarao said, "That cube was from a soldier I took… Of course, it makes good truth serum, wouldn't you say?"

The brainwashed Akari, Enju, Ricka, and Myu laughed, "Yes, sir. Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!"

Yamabuki saluted, as she smiled forcefully, "Lieutenant Suou, reporting!"

Johnny whispered, "She's like an animatronic ninja…"

Kitsurubami gasped, "Lieutenant?!"

Amarao called, "Hanao, Saion-Ji, Machiyuki, Momochi, restrain the boys! Suou…"

He held a pistol and gave it to her. He concluded, "Kill the traitor."

Yamabuki said, as she held the gun, "Yes, sir. I am ordered to kill former Lieutenant Kitsurubami. You are traitor. Traitor."

Kitsurubami sobbed, "No… No, sir, what are you doing?"

Amarao grinned, as Kazuki growled, "No… Yamabuki, snap out of it!"

Yamabuki said, "Silence, pig! I am ordered to obey my commander."

Enju said, "Lieutenant Suou, kill the traitor!"

Johnny cried, "Yamabuki, no!"

Yamabuki aimed the gun at Kitsurubami's face, as Kitsurubami wept, "No…"

Meanwhile, from underground, Cy looked around the hallways, which were very dark. Cy said, "Lily and Tengge are nearby… This way."

Nanao shivered, "Whoa… It feels dark and spooky… and… BRRR! And cold!"

Cy gasped, as she looked at a huge door, "NANNY! LOOK!"

Nanao asked, "What? You found the others?"

They ran to the huge door, as Nanao was stunned, "Uh… A freezer?"

Cy opened the door and said, "Please no…"

They gasped, as they saw Lily and Tengge, encased in a huge block of ice, immovable and frozen, thanks to Amarao's stolen ninjutsu powers from Ricka. Nanao shrieked, "NOOOOOOOOOOOO!"

She sneezed, as she cried, "They're frozen solid!"

Cy went closer, as she sensed them, "No good… We hafta save them, or else they'll die of extweme cold."

Nanao whimpered, "But how? I have no clue, but… I don't remember…"

Cy growled, "We cannot melt the fweezer… so…"

Nanao cried, "WAIT! SMASHING THE ICE? Think twice, Android Pants! If you break the ice, there's a chance you may kill them! Don't forget, they're still inside a block of ice!"

Cy replied, "Twue… But I can find a weak spot, so I can fwee them, unharmed… Only pwoblem is… I haftta huwwy…"

She shivered, "And me widdou a winner code…"

Nanao said, "Oh, crap. You're cold, too! At least we can take time and-."

The freezer door slammed shut, as Nanao sobbed, "OH…"

She sobbed, "Please hurry! I don't want to be frozen solid, and die of frostbite, knowing that my only regret was having very small boobs!"

Cy said, "I'm twying… But I don't know if I can get them out, before I fweeze completely…"

"You can withstand cold, right?"

"Wight! But this is too high! I hafta huwwy and bweak the ice…"

She scanned the ice, as Nanao sobbed, shivering, "P-P-P-P-P-Please hurry…"

She thought, "I'm more worried about getting out of here… If we free Tengge and Lily, who'll free us?!"


Yamabuki held the gun at Kitsurubami, as Kazuki cried, "WAIT! Please let us go! It's her you want!"

Yamabuki undid her hair, as it was long and wavy. She then said, "Silence, pig. I am ordered to kill the traitor, Kitsurubami."

Enju said, "Yes, silence, you dog!"

Kazuki sobbed, "You… It just isn't the same!"

Kitsurubami sobbed, "Please, revenge is all you wanted, but you're high on power! What more do you want, if you kill me?"

Amarao said, "You're right… Lieutenant, disperse!"

Yamabuki slowly put her arm down and stood in place. She remained in a smile, as Amarao held her shoulders, "I think you're right, Kitsurubami. Perhaps we can work something out. Suou here will watch over you, as she will make sure you don't make a sudden move."

Kitsurubami asked, "WHAT?"

He said, "I believe I can give you another chance, as you can be her assistant lieutenant. Machiyuki, Saion-Ji, take her away!"

They grabbed her, as Johnny sobbed, "KITSUKI, NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"

Kitsurubami wailed, "JOHNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNY!" as she was dragged off by Enju & Ricka.

Amarao added, "And as for you two boys… There were others, but they haven't gone that far. I will deal with you, later! Hanao, Momochi, take them away!"

They bowed, as the boys were being escorted off. Amarao turned to Yamabuki and said, "Lieutenant… I do believe that we have to share your ninjutsu with us. Perhaps you may show me your drawing expertise."

Yamabuki smiled in a blank look, "Yes, sir."

She held up a sheet of paper and a pencil. She drew extremely fast, and drew a long staff. She held the paper up and then said, "Arise."

It magically produced a huge red staff, and then said, "Permission to demonstrate to you my expertise n weaponry that I created?"

Amarao called, "HALT!"

Akari and Myu stopped, as he ordered, "Smack him… There."

JAB!
"AAAAAAAAAAAAH!" She smacked the staff into Kazuki's crotch, and then Yamabuki dispersed.

Johnny cried, "AAGH! BRO! You okay, dude?"

JAB!
"AAGH! BURG!" Johnny was jabbed in the crotch, as well.

Yamabuki boasted, "Silence, pig! How dare you side with the traitor?"

Johnny wept, "Owwww… Kazuki…"

Amarao laughed, "Good work, Lieutenant… You are an excellent member of the team."

Yamabuki bowed and said, "Yes, sir."

Kazuki griped, "Damn you… Ungh… The chip…"

He saw the microchip on her eyebrow and said, "The chip! I have to destroy the chip!"

He stated, "You're going to what now? I'm afraid that she's already under a soldier's power. And moreover, you can't free her, while she's under my control. NOW, take them to their cell!"

Kazuki griped, as he was in pain, "AAGH! AMARAO! THIS ISN'T OVER! YOU BASTARD! YAMABUKI, IT'S ME! HEY! LISTEN TO ME, YAMABUKI!"

She didn't listen, as Amarao chuckled, while Yamabuki remained in a blank look. He then said to her, "Now, come with me, Lieutenant. I believe that I have some plans for you…"

She saluted, "Yes, sir."

He and Yamabuki went to his office, as he plans to use her ninjutsu for something special. But what?


Back below, Cy analyzed the ice, and then said, "Okay… I got it! Here I go!"

She swung her fists at the huge block, and smashed it with a huge right. The ice on Tengge started to crack. The ice shattered, and Tengge was freed, unharmed and mildly damp. However, she passed out. Nanao held her and shouted, "TENGGE! HEY, WAKE UP! She's… No… She's dead… Tengge's dead!"

Cy sensed her pulse and then said, "No, she's barely bweathing. But we have to fwee Lily, before we escape."

Nanao sniffled, "Please do… I'm going to freeze to death…" as she was completely cold.

Cy broke more ice, this time freeing Lily. Lily collapsed, as Nanao carried Tengge in her arms. Cy approached the door and pushed it open with ease. They stepped out, as Cy said, "It's a push door. It's not locked from the inside."

Nanao moaned, as she complained, "Well, why didn't you say anything?"

Cy stated, "I forget to men-chun dat it's heavy."

Nanao sighed, "Great… Tengge… Lily…"

Cy nudged at Lily, as Lily was unconscious and breathing lightly. Cy said, "GOOD! Lily's bweathing… Come on, Lily… Enju needs you…"

Lily gagged, as she was regaining air, "En… ju…"

Lily slowly opened her eyes and coughed out a little ice. She moaned, "Damn… What hit me?"

She sat up and moaned, "Last thing I remembered… Oh… right… That Amarao bastard… He stole my ninjutsu…"

Nanao sighed, "Among others."

Lily asked, "Huh?"

Nanao explained to her that Kitsurubami is rescuing the others, and to stop Amarao from going on a power trip for revenge. What Nanao and Cy didn't know was that Amarao had already got Yamabuki, and has captured Kitsurubami and the boys. Lily agreed to help, since Tengge has her ninjutsu, still. Cy offered to help, too, since her barrier can reflect off of the ray gun's effects.

"I forget that you're given ninjutsu by Zina." Lily said.

Cy smiled, "I'll be fine. But… Tengge…"

Tengge was still out cold and slightly frozen. Lily felt her head and said, "She's losing the battle. We have to get her warmed up and revived… and soon."

Nanao said, "She was encased from that block of ice for so long… longer than Lily's… She's going to die, is she?"

Lily growled, "I don't know what to do, but… You stay and tend to Tengge. Cy, you and I are going after him!"

Cy cried, "WAIT! You cannot! You have no ninjutsu!"

Lily screamed, "I CAN STILL FIGHT! I don't care what it takes, but no one hurts my friends! ALL OF THEM!"

Nanao sobbed, "Lily…"

Lily and Cy departed, as Nanao tended to Tengge, who's unconscious. Nanao held her tight and sniffled, "Tengge… Please n-."

She sneezed, "ACHOO!" as she grumbled, "I need warmth, soon enough… Why did I panic so much that I got co-? ACHOO! Cold…!"


In Amarao's office, Yamabuki was frantically drawing. Amarao said, "How goes the drawing, Lieutenant?"

Yamabuki finished, as she had a huge pile of sketches. They were of herself, in her uniform. She said to him, "Sir, I have enough soldiers to last up to a long time. All that is left is to recruit the soldiers."

He said, "Good. Summon ALL the available soldiers here, except for Privates Hanao, Saion-Ji, Momochi, and Machiyuki. They are to watch over Kitsurubami, before reprogramming. I have a plan on how to use your materialization jutsu."

Yamabuki saluted, "Yes, sir."

At the jail cell, Johnny and Kazuki were locked up, as Johnny was sad. He moaned, "My Kitsuki… Why did she have to leave me, already?"

Kazuki said, "Don't worry. I know I shouldn't be mad at you for this, but… We'll save them. We just need to escape."

He continued, as he narrated, "And soon… Akari, Enju, Ricka, Myu, even Yamabuki… They've become mindless puppets to the Commander. And Kitsurubami is going to become like them, unless I do something. Curious, where are Cy & Nanao, after all this?"

XXXXX

Lily & Cy snuck around the building, as all of the soldiers were walking to Amarao's office, in an assembly. Cy whispered, "You see that?"

Lily said, "I know. Keep your distance. We have to remain quiet. I have a bad feeling about this."

The troop was in attention, as Amarao and Yamabuki walked in. They saluted, as the soldiers saluted back.

Cy gasped, "NO! BOOKIE!"

Lily growled, "No… Yamabuki's with this guy?"

What is Amarao planning? And what of Kitsurubami?

XXXXX

Inside a small cell, near the lab, Akari approached the cell, and said, "It's time, Kitsurubami…"

Kitsurubami sobbed, as she growled, "You won't get away with this…"

Enju smiled, "Yes, we will. Traitors shall be punished. We are ordered to prepare for your reprogramming, former Lieutenant."

Akari and Enju pulled Kitsurubami out, as she cried, "WAIT! NO! Don't do it! Something's wrong with the commander! GUYS! DISPERSE! CEASE! STOP!"
