Amarao and Yamabuki were in attention, as he called to his soldiers, "Ladies, as you know, we've garnered a new wave of success, as we are close to completing our goal. I called you all here so that you will experience what I am talking about…"
He held his right hand up, coated with an aura of fire, ice, electricity, and shadows, which he took the ninjutsu abilities from Akari, Enju, Ricka, and Lily. He then said, "As you see, thanks to you your help, I was able to not only learn about the ninjas that side with the HaruHaru girl, but also, I have captured all of them, including my new lieutenant, Lieutenant Suou."
Yamabuki remained in place, as she was still smiling and immovable. Amarao continued, "While we have completed this mission, despite the deception from my former lieutenant, Kitsurubami, the mission was successful. We now move on to Plan C – evolution. Did everyone got their blindfolds that my lieutenant gave you?"
The soldiers called out, "Yes, sir!"
He then said, "Good. Now, put them on, and NO peeking."
The soldiers reluctantly, yet confusingly, put them on, as they were a bit concerned of what he ordered them to do. Lily whispered, "Blindfolds? No, don't tell me…"
Cy whispered, "I think he's going to kill them all. He wouldn't do dat to iz own aw-mee, woody?"
Amarao said, "Everyone on? Good… Now, leave them on, until I say you can take them off…"
He held up a remote control and whispered, "Of course… You won't have the chance to take them off, at all."
He pressed the button, and the wall opened up, producing a huge ray gun, similar to the smaller ray gun that he used to zap out the ninjutsu from the girls. He then said, as the ray gun aimed at the standing blind soldiers, "Ladies, I want to let you know… You are the most… incomparable, impeccable, and moreover… incompetent bunch of rejects I have ever seen! DIE!"
He pressed the button, and every soldier was zapped by a huge beam. The soldiers, one-by-one, were dropped to the ground, after every hit, and collapsed to the ground, motionless and out cold. After eliminating the entire troop, he said to Yamabuki, "Lieutenant, your turn."
Yamabuki called, "Arise."
POOF!
The paper magically produced a clone of Yamabuki, as she saluted, "Private Yamabuki, reporting. How may I serve you, Master Lieutenant Yamabuki?"
Lily and Cy gasped, as Yamabuki said, "Grab yourself a cube. Any one will do. You're enlisted, soldier."
The clone saluted, "Yes, ma'am."
She walked to the pile, as a field of black cubes was floating over the bodies of each fallen soldier. The clone grabbed a cube, and felt the pulse of the soldier that lost hers.
"She's dead, ma'am." she said.
She crushed the cube, and absorbed the life force from within her. More clones appeared, as Yamabuki called, "Go! Grab a cube! Any one will do."
The clones marched to the lifeless bodies and grabbed a cube, each. Lily growled, "No… That maniac… He killed his own army, only to have Yamabuki create clones of herself. But why would they take the cubes?"
The clone army grew bigger, as more Yamabukis grabbed more life cubes. Amarao said, "You sure that this theory is correct, lieutenant?"
Yamabuki nodded, as she said, "Yes, sir. My materialization jutsu is temporary in creating lifelike replicas of people. Once I have your soldiers' life source, their natural states will last forever, with no end."
He cackled, "My word… YOU AND I JUST CREATED IMMORTAL SUPER SOLDIERS!"
He laughed, as Yamabuki stated, "Not really, but…"
Lily gasped, "No… That's why! We… How can we stop an army of everlasting Yamabukis?"
Cy said, "We have to wetweat, Lily… Find Onii-chan, and huwwy…"
Lily asked, "Yeah, but… Where is he now?"
Lily and Cy went far away from the office, and ran off quietly. As they departed, Lily said, "This wasn't how I pictured it. Commander Amarao is drunk with power, since he took my jutsu…"
Cy replied, "Well, I'm angwy dat Bookie stole my andwoid look. How dare she mock me? She's an andwoid, and no one toll me?"
Lily said, "No, Cy. I don't think she is. Yamabuki's human, like the rest of us, but… Cy, were there any abnormalities in her?"
Cy analyzed, "Analyzing… Found… Hmm… Bookie had a micwochip on her wight eyebrow, like she is some so-tah cyborg. And anudder wuz found on the back of her neck. She… She must be contwolled!"
Nanao said, as she carried a prone Tengge in her arms, "Cy, you know better than to guess why Yamabuki was controlled. She's not a robot, but Amarao made her like one… In other words, she's a mindless puppet slave, working for Amarao, like the other girls!"
Lily asked, "Nanao? What are you doing here?"
"I couldn't wait!" she barked, "Tengge's losing her breathing, and I cannot take it! I'm surrendering, so she needs medical attention!"
Cy cried, "YOU CAN'T! If you give up now, onii-chan and the others will become slaves to the Eyebrow Man! And that includes you, Nanny!"
Nanao gasped, as Lily said, "For the betterment of our safety, we can leave this place… but not without Tengge… or Kazuki…"
Nanao said, "Or Johnny… He does love Kitsurubami. I have no idea why, but while I was unconscious, I overheard Kitsurubami's words. We can't leave, without saving Johnny and Kitsuki! Kazuki, not so much, since he's been in tougher scrapes, before! But he needs us more, as well!"
Lily asked, "What are you saying? You're saying we stay and fight? In case you forgot, I lost my ninjutsu, thanks to him! And by him, I mean-."
Cy gasped, "AH! I sense something!"
She scanned the hallway, as she felt Kitsurubami's life force. She cried, "IT'S ZONNY'S GIRLFRIEND! She's in danger!"
They rushed to the lab, as Kitsurubami was fighting for her life.
XXXXX
Kitsurubami fought off the brainwashed ninja girls, as she tried to punch them. But they kept avoiding her assault. The cubes they were given resulted in giving their strength and abilities a huge increase. Akari grabbed her arms and said, "Nowhere to run, abandoner."
Enju kicked her in the stomach, and punched her in the face, while Akari held her down. Myu called, "That is enough! We are ordered to reprogram former Lieutenant Kitsurubami. Nothing more!"
Ricka said, "We are ordered to calm her down!"
Akari agreed, "Agreed. For the glory of Commander Amarao, strap her down!"
Kitsurubami was in pain, as she was lying down on the table. Enju tightened the straps and said, "Game over, traitor."
Akari said, "Prepare the anesthetic."
Kitsurubami groaned, "You… You son of a-… You won't let me be one of your dolls!"
Myu smiled, "Dolls are so cute. But I am a solider for Commander Amarao."
She added, "But you, Kitsurubami, will know better than to defy his orders! Soon, you will learn to love it."
Kitsurubami cried, "He's not himself! He's not the Amarao that I know of!"
They held her down, as she was struggling to break free. Lily, Cy, & Nanao spotted them, peeking from behind the doorway, and Lily said, "There they are… It's… It can't be… Enju, Akari… they are brainwashed."
Cy said, "Hmm… These micwochips, inside their necks… perhaps I can hack into them, widdou hurting them…"
Nanao stated, "NO! Wait, you cannot!"
She put on her glasses and said, "No, if you zap their microchips, frying them, this could result into a huge jolt shock from the fried microchip, thus overloading the microelectrodes in the brain, causing a huge fatal jab of voltage, resulting in a massive shut down in their nervous systems. And what's more, if the medulla oblongata is destroyed, they die!"
Cy smiled, "Nanny, you don't know me vewy well. One thing I know is hacking into advanced machinewy. But microchips, they're wike puzzles~!"
She scanned the chips in each girl, as she beeped, "Analyzing microchips… Mind-control chips worn by Hanao, Akawi… Saion-Ji, Enju… Momochi, Mew-Mew… Machiyuki, Weeka… Attempting to override mind-control chips; probability of success: 85%; accessing codes…"
Nanao whispered, "85%? I don't like the odds on this one…"
Lily said, "If it is to free the others, we can trust Cy. But… Can she, without hurting them?"
Cy scanned the chips and said, "Hacking into main files of mind-control chips!"
Enju held Kitsurubami down, as she said, "Private Machiyuki."
Ricka nodded, "Yes, ma'am. Now administering the anesthetic."
She held up a syringe, as Akari noticed Cy. She called, "Machiyuki, Saion-Ji, tend to the traitor! Momochi!"
She and Myu turned to Cy, as Cy glared at them, "You twy to move at me, you meanies!"
Myu spoke, "Intruder alert! The android has escaped!"
Akari shouted, "Kashima and Fuma, they've escaped, too! Seize them!"
Cy called out, "Seize this!"
She beeped, "Hacking into mind-control chips… Shutting down program…"
Akari gasped, "What? What are you-?"
She dropped her head, as Myu cried, "Private Ha-!"
Myu's head dropped, as well. Ricka and Enju's heads dropped down, and they collapsed to the floor. The chips they were installed in started to fry, producing smoke. Kitsurubami asked, "Huh? What happened? Did the mind-control microchips overheated?"
Cy replied, "No. I did."
She winked, and held up her hand, showing V for victory. Lily called, "Kitsurubami!"
Kitsurubami laughed, "Thank heavens… Finally, someone came to help me!"
Nanao and Lily freed her, as Lily said, "We're alright… You would not believe what went on in Amarao's office."
Kitsurubami said, "Yeah, I know… He appointed Yamabuki as his new Lieutenant, my job, and ordered me to become one of his puppets!"
Lily said, "That's not all he did… We're in grave danger."
She explained to her what happened, as Kitsurubami panicked, "No… Then, it's over! Yamabuki Suou's ninjutsu can create puppets of herself… but fusing with the soldiers' life energy…"
Cy stated, "Wesulting in an everlasting life…"
Nanao sobbed, "An army of Yamabuki Suous?!" and shrieked, "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!"
She added, with a grin, "Well, at least they're sexier than Amarao's ugly eyebrows."
Kitsurubami was shaken, as she whispered, "How? How did he…? How did he become so greedy?"
Lily said, "Is there a way to stop him? He's, very much, got ALL of the powers we hold! Tengge's, I don't think she has…"
Nanao bawled, "Tengge… Noooooooooooo!"
Kitsurubami held Tengge's prone body and said, "I'm sorry… but her breathing dissipated… But maybe…"
She held her chest and whispered, "Tengge…"
Nanao cried, "What are you doing? She's dead!"
Kitsurubami called, as her arms shone, "I'm saving her life! You can thank me later, Nanao Kashiwa."
Nanao gasped, as she blushed, "Uh… How did you, uh…? I mean… Hmm…"
She was embarrassed, as she thought, "What is she talking about?"
Kitsurubami was healing Tengge, as she thought, "I know you don't know this, Kashima, but… This power you have, a small cube, holding your ninjutsu… There are secrets that will be revealed to you. But I cannot say it here. This is neither the time nor place to tell you. But your ninjutsu will be useful… much as I'm using it, ten times stronger than you. Believe me."
Tengge started to breathe lightly, but she was still out. Kitsurubami said, "Here… Nanao, I want you to have this…"
She held the small ray gun she still had in her possession, and shot herself in the head. Nanao's green cube appeared, and Nanao caught it. She gasped, as she whispered, "Oh… Kitsurubami… She… She shot at me with that gun, and this came out?"
She thought, as she sensed it, "This is a part of me… that was missing… My knowledge of anime and intellect remained, but…"
She crushed the cube, and regained her life source. She smiled, as she said, "Thank you, Kitsurubami…"
She groaned, as she was on the floor, "Don't… mention it…"
Lily said, "Well, it seems that Nanao's back, but… what about the others? We can't free their powers… We have to give them back their ninjutsu, in order to retain their personalities."
Cy said, "The micwochips are fwied, so it's a win-win. But we hafta huwwy and stop this sick fweak!"
Nanao said, "Right. You two go stop him. I'm going to find Kazuki and Johnny…"
Kitsurubami said, "It's… alright… They're down the hall… in the detention center… Cy, hack away the security systems… and try not… to get… caugh-."
She collapsed and fainted. She was still breathing, clutching her chest, "Please… Save my… Johnny…"
Nanao nodded, "You stay here and rest up."
Lily replied, "Right. Come on! Let's go save our friends!"
She and Cy dashed off, as Nanao stayed with Kitsurubami. She said, "You two go on ahead… I'll try and revive the others… but… How can we free them from their newer lives?"
Kitsurubami moaned, "I'm… alright… Th-thanks for saving me…"
Nanao smiled, "It's alright. I'm here for yo-."
"ACHOO!" She sneezed, as she moaned, "Sorry… Curse that freezer… I'm getting a cold…"
Kitsurubami giggled, "Bless you…"
"Thanks…" as she blew her nose with a handkerchief.
At the jail cells, Kazuki bust the doors down, and then went to Johnny. He said, "Flimsy bars. Johnny, come on, man! You and I owe a super fun date together…"
Johnny asked, "Huh?"
"Just us two boys, having anime binging."
"Really, bro?" He wept.
Kazuki smiled, "Really."
SLASH!
He hacked the bars down, and said, "Now, come on! We have to go, before-."
"There you are!" Lily called.
Cy cheered, "Onii-chan! Zonny!"
Kazuki said, "Guys! I'm sorry, but…"
Lily said, "We're not done yet. We'll stop Amarao… free Yamabuki and the others… and get this guy his harem."
Johnny asked, "Huh? You mean it?"
Lily smiled, "That I do… You deserve someone like her, who's saving your life."
Johnny smirked, "See that, bro? I told ya she loves me~!"
Kazuki sighed, "Good for you. Now, come on! We have to jet! Where are the others?"
Lily said, "Nanao's with Kitsurubami, while the rest of the girls are out cold. Cy fried their mind-control devices, and they are unconscious…"
She continued, in a sad voice, "Speaking of, Tengge's barely alive… after she was in ice, earlier. But… for some reason, I saw it… It's hard to explain, but… Kitsurubami healed her, after she was losing strength. But she's pulling through… thanks to her… and borrowed ninjutsu… I can't say whose, but…"
He replied, feeling upset, "I see… Tengge-san…"
Lily said, "We have no time. We're home free, but the last thing we have to do is stop Amarao and his tirade of a corrupt ninjutsu, using everyone's."
Kazuki asked, "Even Myu's?"
Cy sobbed, "Even Mew-Mew's!"
Kazuki said, "This one's mine… Lily, you lost yours, so it's fair that I will fight him in one final showdown! Make sure that you free Yamabuki!"
He dashed off, as Lily cried, "WAIT! About Yamabuki, I…"
She whimpered, as he already left, "…we're screwed."
Kazuki rushed down the halls, as he called out, "AMARAOOOOOOOOOOO! I'M COMING FOR YOU, YOU BASTARD!"
Amarao appeared, as he was waiting by the exit with Yamabuki. He said, "I see that you showed up, Mr. Legendary Ninja. You just don't know when to quit, do you?"
He said, "Look, you can take my friends' jutsu, but you won't take mine! I earned my jutsu by training, and I will not let you take that away from me!"
Yamabuki said, as she was in front of Amarao, "Sorry. But Commander Amarao refuses to fight you. I am ordered to protect him, at all costs."
Kazuki said, "You're better than that, Yamabuki!"
She stated, "I am not Yamabuki. My name is Lieutenant Suou. I am ordered to protect my commander, at all times."
He barked, "You… You did this! You turned her into a robot!"
She shouted, "Curb your tongue, pig! I am ordered to stop you! You shall be destroyed!"
She reached into her open shirt and pulled out a slip of paper. She said, "Sir, permission to kill this man."
"WAIT!" Kitsurubami called out, as she and Nanao arrived.
"YOU?" Amarao gasped, but chuckled, "Fine by me… But still, Kitsurubami, go ahead and kill him."
Kitsurubami shouted, "NO! I won't let you hurt them, a second longer! What are you supposed to be, Commander? You're not you! I've known you for my life, and this is what you've become! Snap out of this power trip!"
Amarao shouted, "SHUT UP! You betrayed me, siding with these ninja rejects! I am of everlasting power!"
Yamabuki smiled, "And I obey his every command. I am ordered to protect Commander Amarao, at all times."
Johnny called out, "KITSUKI!"
Lily shouted, "Kazuki, you're a fool! RUN!"
Cy shouted, "ONII-CHAN! BOOKIE'S GOT AN ARMY!"
Kazuki asked, "What? What army?"
Yamabuki showed a room of her own clones, as she said, "My army. Commander Amarao approves of it so. But they have other plans. See, I created them, using my jutsu, and used the life source of Amarao's recent lackeys, making them the perfect army. They last forever…"
Nanao gagged, "No… He… He did what?"
Lily snarled, "He killed his own men, and absorbed Yamabuki's puppets the life cubes that gives them abilities."
Amarao said, "Indeed. Now, Araya, the time has come! You will be eliminated!"
He said to Yamabuki, "Take refuge. I will handle these prawns, alone."
She saluted, "Yes, sir." And then she ran off. Kazuki cried, "NO! YAMABUKI!"
Amarao said, "It's no use. You're out of luck! You want to save Yamabuki, you go through me!"
He swung his katana at him, but Amarao landed a swift punch to his gut. He fell to his knees, as Amarao said, "I FORESAW THAT! You think you can outsmart me, ninja? Well, I will take your ninja powers away, and then no one will stop me!"
Kazuki growled, "Try your worst! I'm no quitter!"
Amarao shone in a dark aura and said, "NINJUTSU: Phantom Grace!"
The entire room was coated in darkness, and then he shot fire from his hands, "And now, Flame Jutsu: Koketsu!"
He avoided the flame shots, as everyone stepped back. Kazuki roared, "Akari's jutsu… which she learned from me!"
Amarao said, "Indeed… Surprised that it was from you? Well, love this! LIGHTNING!"
He shot lightning at him, but he avoided that, too. Kazuki shouted, "Even if it's ten times stronger, I know Enju's lightning abilities, from heart!"
SLASH!
"TAKE THAAAAAAAAAT!" He slashed onto Amarao's chest, as he winced in pain.
Amarao landed a huge right, following by a fiery blast, combined with lightning. He then produced in his hand an energy whip, made of thunder, ice, and darkness. He said, "Your katana is weak… Kneel before the authority of my power!"
Kazuki brandished his Kamuy and said, "My katana isn't weak! This is the sword that stopped evil beings! Hence to why this is called "The Evil Destroyer"!"
Amarao struck at Kazuki, but he blocked it with the Kamuy. He jumped up and slashed down onto his body. But he blocked it with his whip, and landed a swift knee strike. Kazuki stumbled down, and then he was slammed hard on the back, by Amarao's whip. He moaned in pain and cried, "AAAAAAAAAGH!"
Lily and Nanao cried, "KAZUKI!"
Amarao swung again, but Cy blocked it with her barrier. She shouted, "Leave my Onii-chan, alone!"
Amarao shouted, "Back away, you doll! Now melt away!"
He fired a huge flame blast at Cy, but Nanao shoved her out of the way, avoiding the blast. Cy moaned, "Ouch… Such fire… If it stwuck my shield, I'd be a goner."
Nanao asked, "You think it's like… *gulp* lava?"
Cy nodded, as Lily held her spear, "Freak! You're going to kill us all! I may have no ninjutsu, but I can still fight you!"
"Shadow Bind!" he shouted, and caught Lily's shadow.
He then struck her chest with the energy whip, and she screamed in extreme pain. She collapsed onto the floor, as she was hurt easily. She moaned, pleading to Kazuki, "Too… strong… He's too…"
She passed out, and was rendered limp. Johnny snarled, "You bastard!"
Kitsurubami sobbed, "No… Amarao, stop it!"
Johnny yelled, as he went in front of Kazuki, "Leave my bro alone! Don't you dare harm him, you freak of nature! And leave my lover alone! I love Kitsuki, do you get that? I've had just about enough of what I can take from you, you son of a bitch! You set Kitsuki aside, and replaced her with Yamabuki! You are a monster, you hear me? You're an inhumane monster!"
Amarao growled, "You… You don't talk back to me like that, you joke!"
He dispersed his whip, and held up a gun. He said, "You have a problem with my army, you have a problem with me. You die, because you know everything about ninjas. This whole ninja code… BS! Now, you die… without honor!"
Kazuki cried, "No… He's going to kill Johnny!"
Nanao wept, "Johnny…"
Kitsurubami cried, "Commander, don't do it!"
BANG!
He fired, as Kitsurubami ran to him, "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"
She shoved Johnny out of the way, and was shot in the heart. She dropped to the ground, as Nanao shrieked, "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"
Kazuki cried, "JOHNNY!"
Johnny moaned, "Ungh…" as he was on the floor, rubbing his head, "I'm fine… but… Who pushed me-?"
Nanao crawled to her and sobbed, "No… No-NO! Please, no…"
Kazuki growled, "Heartless bastard…"
Johnny sobbed, "My Kitsuki… Please no!"
He ran to her and cried, "KITSUKI!"
He sobbed, as she coughed blood, "Johnny… It's alright… I saved you… but… I guess I did kind of… let myself… get in… the way…"
Johnny sniffled, "Please… Please save her… Nanao, please save her…"
Nanao sobbed, "How? I don't have anything!"
Amarao smirked, "So she says…"
She aimed his gun at Nanao, but Kazuki slashed it off his hands. He cried, "YOU MONSTER!"
He struck at Amarao, but started to fight him off. They began to clash, as Johnny sniffled, "No…"
Kitsurubami whispered, "Johnny… It's alright… NO healing power can save me… Johnny… No… My darling…"
She held his hand and placed it on her face, "I… … … Johnny… … … I love… you…"
She tilted her head down and stopped breathing. Her eyes remained opened, and was bleeding from the mouth, and tears flowing down her eyes. Kitsurubami had died.
"No… Kitsuki… My love…" he held her hand, as Nanao couldn't stop crying.
He turned to Amarao, and was angry, as Amarao knocked the Kamuy off Kazuki's hands, and threw him to the floor. Amarao pinned him down and said, "Now, I'm going to end you, once and for all, you ninja failure!"
Johnny growled, "You… You did this…"
He clutched his fists and murmured, "Because of you, everyone I know is gone… including Kitsuki… My one true love…"
Nanao wept, "Johnny, no… Let it be… We cannot save him…"
Cy sobbed, "Onii-chan…"
She rushed at him, but Amarao pushed her back with a huge energy pulse. She flew down and into the floor, and Cy groaned in pain, "Ugh… Ouch…"
Nanao bawled, "SEE? Even I'm useless in battle!"
Amarao laughed, "See that? I win! Now, you die, Kazuki Araya! BEGONE!"
Johnny ran towards Amarao and yelled, "YOU HEARTLESS INHUMAN FREAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAK!"
Nanao bawled, "NOOOOOOOOOOOOO! DON'T BE A HERO, JOHNNY!"
He rushed at him, as Amarao laughed, "So… You can't give up? Fine… YOU DIE FIRST!"
Johnny went closer, as he held his fists high. Amarao used his ninjutsu, as he was about to land a killing blow.
Kazuki hollered, "JOHNNY, NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"
Amarao roared, "SAY GOODBYE, SPICER! JOIN KITSURUBAMI IN HELL! NINJUTSU…"
But then…
"Ah… Ah… AHHH… AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH-CHOO!"
Nanao sneezed again, this time, it was a huge sneeze. Amarao stopped, as Nanao's sneeze blew off his seaweed eyebrows. He gasped, as he saw his eyebrows flew off. Nanao moaned, "Excuse me…"
Kazuki asked, "Huh? His eyebrows…"
Amarao felt his face and shrieked, "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"
Johnny roared, still running, ignoring his eyebrows. He punched Amarao in the face, and he shouted, "MANIAC! I'LL TEACH YOU TO HARM MY KITSUKI!"
He started to punch his face repeatedly, and Johnny shouted, "NANAO! What are you waiting for? STOP HIM, AS WELL!"
Nanao held up the ray gun and said, "This… This was the cause of all this…"
She aimed, wearing her glasses, and said, "I hope I won't miss…"
Johnny cried, "FIRE! DON'T WORRY ABOUT ME!"
Amarao was pinned down, as he cried, "You… STOP IT! GET OFF OF ME, YOU BRAT!"
He shoved Johnny off, but Nanao fired the gun at him. He was struck with the blast, and six cubes emerged from his body. He stumbled down, as the five colored cubes hovered away. The black one flew towards Lily, and she absorbed it. Lily moaned, "My word… Oh my god…"
She smiled, "It came back!"
Kazuki called, "Johnny, stay back!"
Johnny moaned, "No. What he did to my Kitsuki, he crossed the line!"
Amarao kneeled up, as Johnny held up a sword, "You dirty rotten man… After all you've done to my friends… I SHOULD KILL YOU NOW!"
He sighed, "But I can't…"
He smiled, "I'm not callous, but… I will give you advice on what happens when you turn my friends into mindless robots, and making me lose the one I love…"
Kazuki barked, "Forget it! He's not going to listen!"
Amarao said, "Oh, I do… But what you did is planned my escape."
He held up a huge rifle and aimed at the boys. He said, "You know, you share a brotherly bond… perhaps… YOU DIE TOGETHER!"
BANG!
WHOOSH!
Nanao shrieked, "NOOOOOOOO!"
The boys vanished, as Amarao missed. He gasped, "WHAT?"
Tengge suddenly appeared, holding the boys in her arms. She called, "You forgot about me, darling…"
Akari, Ricka, Myu, & Enju reappeared, as they glared down at Amarao. He held the rifle up, but Enju shot lightning off, knocking the rifle off his hands.
Amarao gasped, "Impossible… No way… Why are you still alive?"
Akari said, "Tengge told us everything…"
Enju glared at him, "You hentai… Made us into robot soldiers, will you?"
Myu stated, "No, more like zombie soldiers. But still, you're uncalled for, Commander!"
Ricka huffed, "What she said! Bastard!"
Tengge smiled, "Looks like your army has a morale issue."
They surrounded Amarao, as Johnny and Nanao held Cy back, after she was hurt. Cy growled, "He… He killed Kissu-bami…"
Nanao said, "Don't look. I believe this could be bloodied."
Johnny growled, "Show that maniac who's the boss here!"
They prepared to strike, as Amarao was scared. He moaned, "Spare me. Stay back! STAY BACK! You cannot do this, you… I had you! How did you even know?"
Kazuki held the sword and said, "We know from Kitsurubami, whom you killed. We know you only did it for revenge. We're making sure that it doesn't happen. And for the record, we don't even know of this HaruHaru woman!"
Enju said, "Yeah! We're not siding with that woman! We don't even know her!"
Akari shouted, "That's right! And you're not going near her, no matter what the odds!"
Lily barked, "Now prepare yourself! You shall be punished!"
Amarao kneeled down and wept, "Please… Spare me…"
Kazuki smiled, "We all got our ninjutsu back, so…"
SLASH!
He destroyed the ray gun and said, "Now that this problem is fixed, everyone got their abilities back?"
Akari smiled, "I do."
Enju huffed, "You said it! How I waited for this moment!"
Ricka nodded, "Hm."
Fuu smiled, "I was hiding, after my Myu-Myu was used like a puppet! No one hurts her and lives to tell about it!"
Myu shouted, "I hate you, you no eyebrow-wearing man! You made me and my senpais into lifeless zombies!"
Lily shouted, "BEAT HIM UP!"
Amarao gulped, "Uh-oh…"
The girls beat up Amarao, as he was screaming for his life. Akari used her Flame Jutsu and Ricka used her Ice Jutsu to burn and freeze him. Tengge used her shuriken to jab his skin, while Cy lifted him high and landed a swift piledriver to the floor. Enju grinned, as Myu nudged at him. She said, "Sorry… Enju-senpai, I'm not much of a fighter…"
Enju smiled, "Don't worry. I've saved this for a coup de grace. LIGHTNING!"
ZAP!
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!" Amarao was zapped by lightning, and then he started to spaz out.
Enju gasped, "Oh, no! I think I used too much!"
His mouth started to foam up a bit, and his neck emitted smoke. Nanao gasped, "No… He's a robot!"
Lily looked down and said, "Not quite. Take a look…"
She turned the unconscious Amarao around and saw a microchip on his neck. Everyone gasped, as Lily asked, "Cy?"
Cy scanned it, "Analyzing… This is the same mind control chip used on the others."
Akari gasped, "No way… You mean… He's…"
Kazuki said, "He was under control, but by who?"
Nanao whispered, "I don't know what to say, but… This is scary…"
Kazuki said, "Well, for what it's worth… Johnny did play a huge part, stopping Amarao."
Nanao barked, "Thanks to me! I can't believe I was stuck in the freezer for so long… I think I'm coming down with something…"
Akari smiled, "Well, finally we can go home!"
Enju asked, "Wait… aren't we forgetting something?"
They looked around, as Kazuki thought, "Strange… We've beaten Amarao, and avenged Kitsurubami, but… It feels like we're missing someone…"
He asked, "Tengge?"
Tengge smiled, "Right here."
Kazuki said, "Uh… okay… Enju?"
Enju said, "Present. Lemme do it. I'll do a head count… Lemme see… Me, Akari… Lily-san, Tengge-san… Suou-san, Machiyu-."
She gasped, as she counted the members of the club, including Nanao, and did a head count. She gasped, "I counted eleven people, but… There's only nine of us…"
She smiled, "Oops… I miscounted you, Johnny-san."
Johnny grinned, "Heh, I'm used to it."
Cy whispered, "Wait a minute! Onii-chan… Akawi… Mew-Mew and Fuu… Enju… Weeka… Lily… Zonny… Nanny… Tengge… Me… Bookie… Bookie?"
She gasped, as everyone cried out, "YAMABUKI/SUOU-SAN/BOOKIE!"
Kazuki griped, "AGH! DAMN IT! We forgot about Yamabuki!"
Just then, Yamabuki's voice called from the speakers, "How dare you? YOU AWFUL NINJAS! You dare hurt my commander? FOOLS! Even if he's now a vegetable, you can't leave here alive! I am ordered to exterminate you, you pigs! Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!"
The entire building flashed red, as Kazuki gasped, "Oh, no…"
The PA announced, "Self Destruct Sequence has been activated… Three minutes until total explosion…"
He sighed, "Why us?"
He shouted, "QUICK! RUN!"
Johnny cried, "WHAT ABOUT KITSUKI?"
Nanao shouted, "JOHNNY, COME ON!"
He sobbed, "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! MY KITSUKI!"
Nanao grabbed his arm and shouted, "There's NOTHING we can do! She's dead! Move on!"
He sniffled, "Sorry…"
He ran off, as Enju cried, "What about him?"
Kazuki groaned, as he was worried. He said, "We can't leave him… And we cannot let him know about us…"
Lily said, "He mustn't know about us. This army… I have a feeling that if we spare him, he may strike again. But I don't think he'll talk, in the state that he's in…"
Kazuki growled, as he called, "Cy, grab Kitsurubami! Myu, Ricka, take Amarao!"
Lily shouted, "WHAT? ARE YOU INSANE?"
Myu nodded, "RIGHT! We can't let them die!"
Ricka replied, "Even as enemy… He was pawn."
Kazuki stated, "I guess she figured it out! Now hurry up, before this place blows!"
Cy held Kitsurubami's dead body up, and then ran off, as the others left the building. Kazuki followed Myu & Ricka, carrying the unconscious body of Amarao away. Kazuki called, "HURRY UP AND MOVE! If only we had Yamabuki's jutsu with us… But still, where is she?"
XXXXX
High in the sky, a helicopter flew off, with a couple of Yamabuki Clones sitting in their seats, strapped tight with harnesses. The real Yamabuki was leaving via a huge black limousine. As she and her army departed, the ninjas escaped the building, and just in time.
KABOOM!
The building exploded, in a huge ball of fire. They watched on from far away, as Enju whispered, "Wow… What a disaster…"
Kazuki whispered, "We're just glad we made it out in one piece…"
Tengge sobbed, "Everyone, except Yamabuki…"
He viewed the helicopters, as he growled, "Yamabuki… Someday, I swear, we're going to free you."
Akari and Nanao nursed to Amarao, as Akari used a black marker to draw his eyebrows. Nanao said, "What will we do about him? He's badly hurt…"
Akari smiled, "He just needed some tender love and care."
Enju barked, "He needs to go to jail! That bastard used us!"
Johnny wept, "He killed my Kitsuki…"
Enju sighed, and petted his shoulder, "I'm sorry, Johnny-san… We tried…"
Cy whispered, as she felt Kitsurubami's body, "She's gone… Her energy was depweted… but… I noticed something from inside her body…"
She held up a brown cube and said, "I analyzed it, and… well…"
Nanao said, "What's good of it, anyways? She's dead… Kitsurubami's dead…"
Cy said, "I think she planned on this, fwom the start… She knew that she'd die… and…"
Lily said, "She's lost a lot of blood… but… Well, we'll have to take her with us, and even Amarao. Perhaps he can explain to us what went wrong here."
Kazuki said, "You're right. But I know for one thing, once we revive Kitsurubami, and have Amarao talk…"
He held his Kamuy up and growled, "…we're going to save Yamabuki!"
The girls and Johnny agreed, as Kazuki narrated, "Yamabuki… Amarao made her a mindless slave, except he was a pawn in all this. Maybe he'll tell us everything, once he wakes up. All I know is that the battle is far from over…"
Nanao asked, "So… any idea who would give Amarao the chip?"
Ricka said, "Dunno. HaruHaru Vespa Girl?"
Johnny nodded, "Possibly."
Enju stated, "Hmm… You know… I wonder what the Vespa Girl looked like…"
Kazuki said, "I have no clue. For now, we have to leave. We'll hide somewhere and treat to BOTH of them… Nanao, you and Johnny watch Kitsurubami. The rest of us will have Amarao in our hold. He's going to tell us everything."
They departed, leaving the totaled building behind.
Meanwhile, in the black limousine, Yamabuki bowed, as she remained seated, while smiling. She then said, "The facility is destroyed, just as you said, Master."
A woman in pink hair, in a dark pink suit, wearing a top hat and a white mask, was sitting towards her, and said, "Excellent… You did well, Lieutenant Suou. And you made an army, for me…"
Yamabuki nodded, as she shrugged herself, "I am ordered to serve, Master."
"And are the ninjas you once befriended have been dealt with?"
"Even if they escaped, it doesn't matter. No one can stop your evil plans…"
She bowed, and said, "Master."
The woman in the suit grinned, as her pale skin is shown, "Excellent… Mwah, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha! Wah, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha! HA, HA, HA, HA, HA, HA, HA, HA, HA, HA! MWAH, HA, HA, HA, HA, HA, HA, HA, HA, HA! AHHH, HA, HA, HA, HA, HA, HA, HA, HA, HA, HA! AH, HA, HA, HA, HA, HA, HA, HA, HA, HA!"
Who was this woman that has Yamabuki in her care? All we know is that she was the one that gave the chip to Amarao. She removed the chip on her eyebrow and said, "That's no good. The O.B. Chip isn't for your face. At least Amarao installed the one on your back, just to serve me well."
Yamabuki nodded, "Yes, my master. What shall we do to my former friends, the Ninja Seeking Club?"
The woman grinned, "Soon… I believe that our time will come, eventually. Besides… I plot for one thing… my revenge…"
She cackled, as she and Yamabuki departed to parts unknown. The battle between the ninjas and this mystery woman is far from over.
To be continued?
Meanwhile, at the totaled building, a woman in a red jacket and white helmet appeared, riding in her red Vespa. She then took off her helmet, showing her orange hair. She looked at the mess and whistled, "PHEW! Looks like I came too late. I heard that Eyebrow Boy wanted me for revenge. Meh. Whatever. I guess someone beat me to it."
She put her helmet on and said, "Oh, well. We'll meet soon enough, my friend… But right now, I got better things to do…"
She grinned evilly, "I'm coming for you, Atomsk… He, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he!"
She drove away, leaving the destroyed facility behind, without looking back, as she has her own issues.
