Shido and SAIA stare down, as the battle was continuing. SAIA has already disabled Tohka's body, by paralyzing her with a beam. Shido promises to stop SAIA, and avenge Tohka, despite that she's still alive, but immobilized.

Earlier, Tohka and Shido learned about the KEION Bu's real identity: Jewel Women. They are a group of android-vampire hybrids, birthed by Japanese History, caused by Ikara Tokisaki, Kurumi's evil ancestor, who once posed as her mother.

Shido and SAIA resumed fighting, as they clashed swords towards each other, landing swift strikes. SAIA lands a kick to his leg, and swung at his neck. She halted her blade towards his neck and said, "Error. Do not kill."

Shido struck it back, as he asked, "So, you're not killing me?"

SAIA replied, "Response: I am ordered to capture you, not kill you."

Shido growled, "After what you did to Tohka, I am going to hurt you!"

SAIA said, "I see… It wouldn't be long, before she stays with us."

"You're not making her your slave, you bitch!"

"I have my orders. Miss Kajou will want you, as a perfect specimen. Tohka understands."

Tohka was still frozen, as she moaned, "I'm… Shido, help me…"

Shido said, "Let me help you out, once it's all over. She can't make you a slave."

Tohka cried, "Shido, look out!"

Shido ducked, as SAIA slashed at his face. SAIA beeped, "Silence, Tohka Yatogami! You've said enough. You cannot interfere."

She flashed her eyes again, and Tohka gasped, "NO! Not aga-."

She stopped speaking, as she was completely stiff and immoveable. Shido cried out, "NO!"

He held her and sobbed, "No… Tohka…"

He growled, "YOU MONSTER! YOU'LL PAY FOR THIS!"

SAIA said, "She cannot help you. My orders is to capture you. Prepare yourself."

Shido seethed, as he attacked SAIA. He swung towards at her, but she blocked each attack. Her hostile eyes flashed and said, "WARNING! Subject hostile emotionally. Initiating Defense Protocols."

Her body shone red, as her eyes turned black, with her red pupils remained. Shido stepped back in fear, "Whoa… What the hell is that?"

He armed himself with both his and Tohka's sword and said, "I have to stop her."

He used his dual swords and attack SAIA. She blocked each sword, as he swung high and low. SAIA beeped, "ERROR! ERROR! Subject Itsuka has two swords. UNFAIR! UNFAIR! Success rate: 20% chance…"

Shido roared, "Rate THIS, you demon!"

He slashed both sword onto her chest and waist, cutting her deep. She dropped her katana and said, "DANGER… SAIA damaged… SAIA must… complete… mission…"

SAIA dropped to the ground and slurred, "SAIA failed… SAIA failed… SAIA faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa… rrrrrrr…"

Shido sighed in relief, "Thank goodness… But… I know she's destroyed… but…"

He turned to a frozen Tohka and wept, "I'm sorry if it didn't save you… Tohka, I love you…"

He hugged her, as he kissed her lips. He whimpered, "Please… Come back, Tohka. You can't die… Not now… I want you back…"

Her body was still warm, but Shido clutched her tight, knowing he lost her, forever. SAIA suddenly sat up and beeped, "WARNING! Mission restart. Shido Itsuka – Hostile threat. EXTERMINATE!"

She stood up, grabbing her katana. Shido turned around and cried, "NO! She's still alive?!"

SAIA dashed for Shido, but he rolled out of the way. She landed her blade on Tohka's chest, but inadvertently tore her blouse. Her blouse and bra dropped to the ground, showing her bare upper body. SAIA gasped, "OOPS! I missed. But I dodged my blade away, at approximately 3 inches, before it touched the skin. My apologies."

Shido struck onto SAIA's back, as he roared, "WHY WON'T YOU GO DOWN?!"

SAIA swung her katana, but he blocked each attack. She said, "My orders are to take you in. But you shall be annihilated, before I will. Surrender is no longer an option."

He barked, "I'll die, before you make me your slave!"

"That can be arranged. But I must detain you."

She slashed at his waist, and he dropped down to the ground, dropping his swords. He coughed and moaned, "No… How is she… that stronger?"

SAIA would hold her katana up high, and lower it. And then, she held it high, again, as she said, "Prepare yourself. You shall be DESTROYED! Welcome, new test subject. Mission complete."

She made a running start and jumped up high. Shido then gasped, as he thought, "I must act! She's going to kill me! Tohka, help me!"

SAIA held up katana high, and started to fly downward, about to land a huge strike. But Shido grabbed his sword and with an ounce of his strength, he threw the sword into SAIA, like a javelin, as she beeped, "Response: WHAT THE?"

GSHHHHHH!
The sword impaled into SAIA's left eye, smashing through her skull. She dropped to the ground, bleeding heavily. Shido kneeled up and moaned, "You're terminated, sucker."

SAIA's remaining eye started to flicker, and she was moaning, "I am… Saya… Kisaragi… I can… … …never… … die… … … SAIA failed… SAIA failed… Shutting down… Goodbye…"

Her eye went completely black, as Shido removed his sword from her head. He sighed and said, "It's over. Thank goodness…"

He picked up Tohka's sword and said, "Tohka, I avenged you… but…"

He gave Tohka her sword, but she remained motionless. He said, "I'm sorry, but I can't love you, anymore. How can I love someone, who's a statue? Tohka, I'll never forget you…"

He hugged her and whispered, "One final kiss…"

He kissed her stiff lips, as he was crying. As he continued to kiss, Tohka's arms suddenly started to slowly move. Her arms went closer to his waist, and clasped around him. She said, "Thank you… Shido…"

They started to kiss passionately, as he smiled, "You're alive!"

She smiled, "I never said I was dead… Besides, all that android did was immobilize me."

He asked, "Was she being sentimental?"

She said, "No, stupid! It's because these Rhombloids follow Asimov's Three Laws of Robotics. These androids cannot kill a human. Prime directive #2."

He said, "I see… So, they never killed you?"

She seethed, looking at her bare body, "I'm going to kill you, you pervert! Did you strip me down?"

He pleaded, "I didn't! Honest! That SAIA robot ruined your clothes!"

She covered herself and whimpered, "This is so embarrassing…"

She blushed heavily, as Shido went to SAIA's body. She removed her black blazer and said, "Here… Will this do?"

"It's not my color, but the size is alright." She said, taking the blazer.

She put it on, as it was a little tight. She then approached SAIA's body, as she was wearing a white bra, soaked in her blood. Tohka said, kneeling down, "Well, for the moment, we got a clue on where the lab is located, and how we'll find Ginti."

She reached for the gem, but as she touched it, she jerked away, wincing in pain, "OW! Ow…"

"What's the matter?" he asked.

"It's hot." Tohka said, "When I was about to remove her gem, it's burning up. Maybe she overheated."

"No wonder, since it originated from a volcano." He replied.

Tohka punched the ground and barked, "A dead end! Now we'll never rescue Ginti!"

He held her and said, "Don't worry. We'll rescue them."

"Yeah." She nodded.

She bowed to SAIA and said, "Saya Kisaragi, I'm sorry. But today, you were bested by a skilled fighter. You were changed into an emotionless android, and now, you're just a corpse. Rest in peace, Saya Kisaragi."

She then barked, walking off, "I'll avenge you, by finding that bastard, Oboro Tsukimigusa! He'll pay for this!"

Shido followed, as he called, "Hey, wait up!"

They continued to search for Ginti and the others, as Tohka is fueled in anger, over what Oboro did to Saya.

Meanwhile, deep underground, Ayame prepared four cups of milk, and said, "Here. Tanukichi, this is my perfect plan to make Saotome our new test monkey."

She placed the glasses on the tray and added, "And a good thing, too. Because today, we drink milk… Yesterday, green tea. The day before that, orange juice."

Okuma said, "You're pretty observant, even after you're updated."

"True. Depressing, but true. Anyway, once she drinks the bull's milk, she'll malfunction and become our slave."

She held up a vial of the grayish blue powder and said, "Painkillers… Suffuse X… The medicine for the subjects…"

He protested, "Wait… I don't know. Shouldn't it kill her?"

Otome watched on, hiding from behind the control panel, as Okuma explained, "This stuff is powerful, but I doubt that could neutralize her."

Ayame said, "It's safe. Besides, this stuff may be disgusting, it'll subdue the Rhombloid, for the time being."

"Yeah, and die, after 30 seconds!"

"Aw, don't be a party pooper. Now, let's give the titty milk some flavor~!"

He cried, "WAIT! Do you know which cup she'll drink?"

She said, "I'm sure she'll pick on. I'm not picky. Now, let's being…"

She was about to choose a cup, but he said, "Wait, hold on! I have a bad feeling about this… If we kill her, don't you think it'll be like Anna, all over again?"

Ayame barked, "Look, nut sack! I know what I'm doing! Ginti is being too close to Saotome. She must know her place. And she did disapprove of the project. But once she signs up to do this project, she has to follow through. Otherwise, we'd be stuck underground, for a very long time."

"But I fear that Otome may-."

"Aw, go jerk your cock!" She barked, as she grinned, "Now… Let's see… AH! Sorry, Saotome… but you reap what you've cummed."

She was about to pour the powder into the milk, but Okuma cried, "WAIT!"

Ayame shouted, "NOW WHAT?"

Okuma cried, "Haven't you thought this through? What if Otome takes the wrong cup?"

Ayame said, "It's the second cup on the right. And it's in order: yours, mine, Saotome's, and Fuwa's."

"That's not the point. What if Fuwa takes the poison milk? OH! Here's a thought: What if one of us drinks it?"

Ayame processed and said, "Gee… I never thought of that. Should we label the drinks?"

Okuma cried, "I told you to label them! Last week, Fuwa stole my pink lemonade, just for a trade! My dick, for the drink, and I said no!"

Ayame said, "I guess you're right. It wouldn't be right, if the cups weren't labeled…"

Otome appeared, as she thought, "I have to act fast."

She said, "Oh, hey. I know it's not time, but let me label them. I overheard that the drinking issue is still unresolved. Don't worry, I'll handle it."

Ayame said, "Oh, okay. Thanks, Saotome~!"

She and Okuma left, as she whispered, "While she's busy with the labels, let's tug the cord."

He huffed, "Will you knock it off?"

The door shut, as Otome looked at the vial that Ayame left on the table. She then grabbed the small vial and placed it in her pocket. She then proceeded to label the cups, from left to right, in yellow circle labels: Ayame's, Tanukichi's, Otome's, and Hyouka's. Otome then pulled out the Suffuse X and poured the powder into each drink, instead of her own cup, which she covered by her hand. After that, she stirred the milk with a spoon, and then tossed the spoon away. She put the milk away and said, "Perfect…"

She grinned evilly, "Now, Ayame… Lemme see you try and kill me now! Use Suffuse X on me, will you?"

She turned to the window and saw Ginti, sleeping in his cell, waiting for the tests to begin. She said, as she placed her hand on the window, "My darling Ginti… It'll all be over, soon."

She thought about it, and whimpered, "I… I… … …Ginti, I'm sorry…"

XXXXX

"What do you mean we can't kill her?" Ayame argued with Okuma.

He said, "You know damn well that we can't! She's our friend and partner. I know no one will know, since no one bothers to examine us, seeing we're helpful, and make it look like an accident, but without Otome, you have no more dirty hentai pictures! And that's bad."

Ayame sobbed, "Oh, my god… If that happens, I'll lose my masturbation fix, and I'll be nothing more than a sex shop mannequin!"

"THAT'S NOT THE POINT!"

"I know… but… She…"

He held her and said, "Look, Ayame… Would you do this for me? Please… Don't kill her."

She sighed, "Oh… Okay… I can't say no to a cock and ass like you. You're that sexy that I want to bone you, and make you feel my hot and moist pussy."

He laughed, "And that's why I love you…"

He kissed her and said, "Come on. Let's get ready."

They returned to the main room, as Fuwa suddenly arrived, while Otome prepared the drinks. Ayame said, reaching for her cup, "Well, we're all set. And once we drink the bull's milk, we're gonna thrust hard on this project!"

Fuwa drank her milk and said, "Actually, milk comes from cows. Steers are all beef."

Ayame said, "That's what I said. Bull's milk. Cows and bulls are beef. What I'd go through for a nice steak dinner, since I want to eat solid foods."

Okuma said, "Is that your optimism of a dirty joke?"

Ayame said, "No, not this time. I mean, since our creation, we're nothing but a liquid diet. Water does us good, but only when we bathe… In just a matter of days, the computer will tell us what we know."

"And if it doesn't?"

"I have an unshakeable faith in technology… likewise us."

Otome finished hers and said, "Well, I'm going to see Ginti, for one last interview, before the test begins."

She left, as Fuwa said, "I'll go prepare the tools."

She went to the other room, as Ayame said, "Give us 10 minutes. Tanukichi and I will have private issues…"

They giggled, as they headed to another room. Otome arrived in the lab, as everyone was gone. She said, as she nudged him, "Wake up. Ginti, wake up…"

He grumbled, "Ungh.. What in the-?"

He asked, "Otome?"

She said, "It's time."

He said, "What? It's time to convert me, to run a few tests, or have another sex round?"

Otome said, "Neither. I'm helping you escape."

Ginti asked, "What about the others?"

Otome replied, "It's a long story. But I'll explain, once I get your clothes. Here."

She gave him a bag of his clothes and said, "This is your clothing attire, neatly folded. OH! I even put a drawing in your left pocket, as a gift. DO NOT open it, until you escape the lab."

Ginti asked, "What about Anode and Cathode?"

Otome replied, "Once my friends are dealt with, we'll revive them. And then, you have to leave. Now quick! Go change!"

He smiled and got up, "Thanks. You're a lifesaver."

He retreated to go change, as Otome went to the other room to get Anode and Cathode's clothing. Will Ginti be able to escape, in time?
