Ginti changed back into his clothes, as Otome was helping him out. She said, as she was upset, "Ginti, I am sorry for everything that happened. But we have to escape, before the others return. But knowing them, they'll short out."

He said, "I want to know… Why are you helping me? You said that if the experiment is over with, you'd free me, and you'd come with."

Otome said, "Well, I cannot dare explain… You see, my services are with the Rhombloid Research. But I can't dare stay… Not after just recently."

He said, "You can tell me."

She replied, "Okay, but just so you know, it's too late to assist me. Ayame and the others… They are going to-."

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING?" Fuwa suddenly appeared, as she was concerned.

"FUWA?!" Otome gasped, "What are you doing here?"

Fuwa said, as she was beeping, "I had to return, because I forgot my clipboard. But you brought GInti out…"

Otome said, "I'm done with the project! These three have got to leave! It's dangerous, towards these people! And I'm going with them!"

Fuwa stood straight and said, "You traitor! Kajou will dismantle you… butt whole makes wasser!"

Her arms start to flail, and her eyes went cross-eyed. She beeped in a baritone, after shaking, "How are you, gentleman. All your base are belong to us."

Her body started to smoke, and she suddenly fell to the floor, faced-down. Ginti gasped, "Whoa!"

Otome said, "It's already too late… You know that medicine I gave you? Well, I injected it into their drink, after Ayame planned to kill me… and use me as a test subject."

Ginti cried, "WHAT? WHY DIDN'T YOU SAY ANYTHING?"

She pleaded, "Don't you get it? If you stay longer, you'll end up like Anna and Binkan! You and your friends don't even need to be here, anymore!"

He said, "I can't leave, without my friends!"

Otome said, "I can take care of it."

Ayame and Okuma returned, as they saw Fuwa on the floor. Ayame cried, "We heard a noise! What happened?"

Okuma cried, "FUWA!"

He sensed her and said, "No good… She's dead."

Ginti cringed, "Oh, my god…"

Otome said, "It just happened, Tanukichi! She suddenly shorted out!"

Okuma asked, "Oh? Why are you with Ginti? Get her back in the cell!"

Ayame said, "Otome! Please, do as we say! Do you see that this man is a threat?"

Ginti cried, "WHAT? You said I was a key to your experiments!"

Otome shielded Ginti and shouted, "I don't care what you say… I'm done being a puppet! Ginti and the others have to go! Ayame, enough is enough!"

Okuma roared, "You traitor!"

Ayame cried, "You little cunt pussy! How dare you side with the humans! Tanukichi, seize them!"

Okuma said, as he was in attention, "Yes, Ayame! Otome Saotome, you are to be disassembled for your defiance!"

Otome growled, "Why isn't it working on them?"

He asked, "What are you talking about?"

Ginti said, "Yes, what do you mean?"

Okuma started to shiver, and then raises his arms out, in doll-like fashion, "DANGER! DANGER! DANGER, Will Robinson!"

He collapsed onto the floor, on his back, and was smoking profusely. Ayame was crushed, as she sobbed, "NO! Tanukichi?"

She sobbed, as she whimpered, "No… Wake up… Wake up, you cocksucker!"

Otome said to Ginti, "Remember the medicine I gave you? It's medicine to you, viruses to us. We never consume the Suffuse X."

Ayame gasped, "Suffuse-. No… You didn't… You mean… You knew, this whole time?"

Otome roared, "BITCH! I am not going to be your test subject, much as the others! YOU DESERVE TO BE SPARE PARTS!"

Ayame sobbed, "HOW COULD YOU? AFTER EVERYTHING I'VE DONE FOR YOU!"

Her eyes glowed red, and then rushed to Otome, about to strangle her. But after three steps forward, her chest and hip started to shake and sway. She panicked, "Ungh… Oh, yes… That felt good. My body is so hot… Rub my clit… Suck my vag…"

Ginti asked, "Is that normal?"

Otome was confused, "I don't think so."

Ayame started to unbutton her shirt, revealing her bare skin. Her breasts were shaking and jiggling, as she was beeping, "AHhahhahhahhahhahhahh… So… hots… for… cocks… Cock! Cock! Cunt! Bitch! Whore! Ass! Pussy! Fuck! Shit! Whore! CRAP! Cunt-cunt-cunt-cunt! Fuck me-! Fuck me-!"

She started to malfunction, as she continued to shake, "Malfunction… Malfunction-function-funct-, fuck-! Mal… fuck-shun! Do me where it hurts… AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH! HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH! My vagina is so hot! So hot! Sohot-hot-hot-hothothothothothothothot!"

Otome cringed, as she was scared, "Okay… That's not normal!"

Ginti cried, "Oh, my god… She's…"

Her eyes went crossed, and her lips curled, while her body was twisting a bit. Her body and gem began to overheat, as Otome cried, "Oh, no… I was afraid of this!"

She hollered, "SHE'S GONNA BLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW! AND I DON'T MEAN A BLOWJOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOB!"

She and Ginti ran for cover, hiding behind the control panel. Ayame continued to shake and spaz, and started to beep and cuss in a high-pitched voice, going higher and higher, "I love cocks! I love cock! Cock! Tails! Cock-a-doodle-pussy! Give me a hand! Job! Hand me a milk-. Suck my dry! I am-, I am-, am-, my vagin-gin-gin-gin-gin-. System Error! Fatal Error! SO hot! SO HOT! AAGH! FUCK ME! YES! DO ME! I AM CUMMING! DO ME! YES! YES! YES! YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYES-EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE-, WAIT, I MEAN, NONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONO NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! I AAAAAAAAAM SOOOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOOOOO-AAAAAAAAAAAAH-AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH-WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA-!"

KABOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!
Ayame exploded into metallic pieces, and white and red fluids splattered everywhere. Her body collapsed into pieces, and dropped to the floor, landing her destroyed breasts onto Okuma's face.

Outside, above ground, Shido & Tohka heard the explosion. Tohka heard it and cried, "GINTI!"

Shido asked, "What was that?"

Tohka said, "It came from over there! COME ON!"

They raced off, heading to where the explosion occurred.

Back down below, Ginti and Otome got up, as Ayame's head landed in front of them. Her head was spazzing, and twitched a bit. She spoke in her final words, in a deep voice, "Hasta la vista… baby…"

Her eyes went black, and sparks emitted from her neck hole. Ginti panted, "Thank god… My goodness, that was scary."

Otome cheered, "IT WORKED! I knew she would try to kill me, since I was deemed useless… but I turned the tables."

He hugged her and said, "I don't know how to thank you. Otome, you saved us. Let me… You want a kiss?"

They were about to share a romantic kiss, as the PA called:
"Miss Kajou, this is Computer Control. We have the results:
Mr. Okeffe is neutralized by the Rhombloid Gem, but has only one distinction from the other victims. He has been celibate for several months, and therefore has a very low level of sexual hormones in his system. Our assumption to control his mind and body will be overcome by the Rhombloid control, if his sexual arousal levels increase, for example, from a sudden burst of passion. The gem would control him and may make him a 100% artificial being, after his sexual arousal levels go up to 85% or higher, which is at DANGER levels. To control Rhombloid gem, levels of arousal must be at exactly 60%, or subject will be destroyed."

He asked, as she stepped back, "What? Something wrong?"

Otome gasped, as she was shocked, "Uh, oh…"

Ginti said, "I'm fine, Otome… But what does it mean?"

She explained, "The moment we had sex… twice… Did you experience… a sort of change?"

He said, "No."

She panicked, "It's good for you… but it's bad for me! I'm sorry, Ginti…"

"What are you saying? I'm not a robot!"

"No. You're not. But…"

"But?"

"If that gem was still inside you, after I removed it… You'd be converted into one of us, after we have another sexual time… melding bodies together. But now… I realized that my safety is the utmost importance."

He cried, "Well, let's go! We have to leave, now!"

Otome said, "No. First things first."

She gave him a pair of pliers and said, "Here. Carefully remove the gems, slowly from Anode and Cathode. You can't use your hands, since we can only use that. Once they're out, they'll wake up and return to normal. After that, their clothes are in your room. Give it to them, once they're awake. But after you're reunited, head to the exit… and do not look back. Once you reached your room, make a left, then at the huge hallway, go through the double doors on your right, and go straight ahead. The door will be open, once you get there. So, be on a lookout for daylight. And make it fast!"

He asked, "What? Make it fast? Why?"

Otome typed into the computer and said, "Ginti… You have to trust me…"

She hit ENTER, as the screen said, "Self-destruct sequence engaged… This building will self-destruct in five minutes…"

He gasped, "SELF-DESTRUCT?! NO! YOU IDIOT! YOU'RE GONNA KILL US ALL!"

Otome said, "No… Go save the girls… I'm staying… I can't go with you… I chose to stay here. If I come with you, the Rhombloids will look for me. But I will always cherish everything that we had."

He said, "Otome… I love you…"

She said, as she was sad, "I know… GO NOW!"

He rushed into the testing room and went to Anode and Cathode. He unzipped Anode's jumpsuit, and carefully removed the gem from her body. Anode came to and moaned, "Ungh… Where am I? What's going on?"

Ginti said, "We have no time… It's taking me time to get these gems off of you. After I free Cathode, we have to go."

Anode asked, "Huh? We're still here?"

The PA announced, "This research facility will self-destruct in 4 minutes and 30 seconds."

Anode sobbed, "Ohhhh… That's why."

He barked, "Panic, later!"

"Okay."

Ginti removed Cathode's gem, as she awoke. She asked, "Ginti? Where am I? I was here in this-."

He said, "Never mind! Follow me! I'll get you girls to safety!"

He ran off, as the girls followed him. Ginti stopped and said to Otome, "Otome… I'm so sorry…"

Otome nodded and said, "It's fine. It's better this way… I'll accept my fate… you accept yours."

She approached Ginti, as the timer was now at three minutes. She kissed him and said, "Goodbye."

She walked to the computer and turned away from him, "Go now, before you die… Hurry! GO!"

He raced off, as Anode said, "Come on. Let's go."

Cathode nodded to Otome, "Thanks for everything…"

They left the main room, as Otome sniffled, with a smile, "Ginti… You made me happy… I… I want to see you again…"

She closed her eyes and powered down. She whispered, "Ginti… I will… always… loooooove… yooooooooooooooooouuu…"

She froze in place, as her entire system was halted. There was total silence, except for the sirens and bells ringing, as the place was about to explode.

Ginti, Anode, and Cathode made a run for the exit, as the girls carried their clothing bags over their shoulders. Cathode asked, "So, why is the small girl saving us?"

Anode asked, "And when did you kiss her?"

Ginti replied, "It's only because she's the only android that cared for me… while that black-haired woman was a guttermouth. Let's just say… She found me irresistible."

Anode gagged, "EW! She's just a child!"

Ginti roared, "For Christ's sake, Anode! She's 18!"

Cathode sighed, "Will you knock it off, you two?"

"This facility will self-destruct in sixty seconds"

They reached the exit, as the huge doors opened. They raced to the bright light, as Tohka and Shido were on the other side.

"It's them, alright." Tohka viewed inside.

Shido called out, "HEY, YOU GUYS! WE'RE HERE TO SAVE YOU!"

Ginti called out, "A little late for that! RUN!"

They got out of the building, as Tohka asked, "Ginti? What's going on?"

Cathode shouted, "SHUT UP AND RUN!"

"THE PLACE IS GONNA BLOW!" Anode shrieked.

Tohka nodded, as she said, "Oh… Right. The building you were in will explode."

Shido nodded, "Agreed. A likely story."

"The facility will self-destruct in 30 seconds…"

Tohka and Shido shrieked in fear, "EXPLODE?!"

They ran towards Ginti, Anode, and Cathode, as they all made a sprint, running away from the building. They continued to run, as the countdown was made.
"10… 9… 8… 7… 6… 5… 4… 3… 2… 1…
Have a nice day."

KABOOOOOOOOOOOOM!
The entire building, the entire research laboratory, exploded into huge clouds of smoke, as the building started to collapse. The explosions continued, until the entire place was totaled.

The others stopped, just in the nick of time. Ginti sighed, as he was hurt emotionally, "Otome… Goodbye… and thank you…"

Anode bawled, "WAAAAAAAAAAAAH! THAT WAS SCARY! I WANNA GO HOME!"

Cathode hugged her and said, "Shh, shh, shh, it's alright. We're safe and sound…"

Tohka asked, "Ginti… What happened?"

Ginti asked, "Tohka? What are you doing here?"

"I sensed you were in trouble, and Shido and I were looking for you. What just happened?"

"It's a long story…" he sighed in exhaustion, "I just want to go home."

Tohka smiled and said, "I'm glad you're okay. Trust me. It was hell, trying to find you. I'll explain on the way. But first, we have to get you guys home…"

Anode stretched herself and said, "Right. I'll have our agent know that were we on our way to a special event, but our flight was delayed."

Cathode sighed, "You know, you don't need to lie, you know."

Anode sobbed, "You're so mean! I missed about three days' worth of dancing!"

Cathode replied, "It's alright… We'll make it up to the fans."

They walked together, as Ginti realized that he has something in his pocket. It was a slip of paper. He opened it and was shocked and stunned. His photo was from Otome, drawn by herself. It was a picture of Otome and Ginti's self-portrait, inside a pink heart. The bottom of the picture said "Saotome & Ginti 4-ever". He hugged it and said, "For a minute, I thought it was another hentai picture… Otome, thank you… I'll never forget you."

Tohka asked, "What was that you got there?"

He said, as he put the paper away, "Oh, nothing… Just a gift, from a friend. Come on, let's get out of here."

They all walked together, heading home from a very scary adventure, which ended in happiness for Ginti and his friends. During the walk home, Tohka told Ginti about everything that Saya Kisaragi told her, including the KEION Bu, or the Jewel Women, and how they existed. Ginti was astonished, and said that he knew about the Rhombloids, firsthand, including how they planned to obtain Lan Hikari. But they never fully explained why. In the end, Tohka agrees that it's best to not tell Lan about it, at all… … …suffice if he ever return.

"Huh?" Ginti asked, "Is Lan still upset over the adventure, a while back?"

Tohka said, "Even worse… He left Tokyo, last week, before these events took place. Apparently, he is still torn over Yui."

Shido replied, "The poor guy… I hope he recovers."

Anode smiled, "Oh, he will, buster! You forget! He's Lan Hikari, the ambassador for Love and Peace!"

Cathode blushed, as she giggled, "Oh, brother. Anode, you're such a wily girl."

Anode smiled, "BLEH! I know. Lan will come back, someday. Though, I doubt he'll believe us. We were out cold, all this time."

Tohka replied, "We'll keep this between all of us…"

And with that, the adventure comes to a close.

Days later, at a dance club, Anode and Cathode performed the song "ACUTE", with Shido as the leading singer. They danced together, dressed in black, with the girls in black dresses and Shido with a black shirt and pants.

(Shido): kono mama de iito omotteta
nige dashita yoru no naka de
amaoto ga mado o uchi narasu
koukai ni sainamareta

(Anode): watashi dake o mite hoshii nante
sunao ni ieru wake mo nai
yuganda ai no ketsumatsu niwa
(Anode & Shido): nani ga mieru?

As the song continues, Ginti was watching, backstage, puzzled over the Jewel Women's existence.

"Imagine… Gem cores, earthed in all of Japan, throughout history… and all caused by that Tokisaki woman… This world has such bizarre moments."

Tohka appeared from backstage and said, "Ginti, so what now, now that we know that we have to keep an eye out for Jewel Women?"

Ginti said, "Well, I think I'll relax and wait. Next gem person that shows up, I want to help out. Lan Hikari may be gone, but someone's got to protect Japan, since Lan's heart was broken. So, it's really alright."

She said, "And… well… I'm sorry you and Otome never had a thing… romantically…"

He said, "She chose to sacrifice herself, to protect me. Deep down, she truly loves me."

Tohka hugged him, as the music ends. She stayed by him and said, "You'll find someone to have, forever… one day…"

He said, "Thanks."

XXXXX

After the show, Anode and Cathode thanked Shido for the aide, as Ginti was upset. He said, "Well, now that it's all over, what do you say we drive home?"

Anode said, "I'm game! We were thinking of having a celebratory sleepover, for the other day, since we're alive!"

Shido shushed her and said, "Quiet, you! He's upset over Otome. It's sad to see that the robot loved him… despite that they are very close, like just kissing and hugging."

Ginti, of course, never mentioned that he had sex with Otome, at all. He figured it'd be embarrassing. Cathode looked around, as Anode said, "Well, be that as it may, Ginti may find someone he'll care for. Maybe a new Mugi…"

Cathode pointed at a girl and said, "Or maybe not… Look!"

She pointed at the girl, who was drawing with her hands. She looked exactly like Otome, as Ginti was shocked, "No… It's… it can't be!"

He looked at the girls, as Anode nodded in confidence. Ginti approached her and gulped, "Here goes."

He asked her, "Hey, kid… Did you enjoy the show?"

The girl huffed, "Moron! I'm 18! And, yes, I loved it. Though, I'm a little bummed, since I could not get the Electronica Girls on my sketch book."

He asked, "What's wrong?"

She said, "I'm in a slump… and I need to make something so artistic and sensual…"

He said, "Well, I'm free… if you want to hang out… Maybe I can help you out of your slump."

He thought, "Nah. Must be a coincidence."

She introduced herself, "I'm Otome."

Ginti said, "Uh… I'm Ginti."

"What a cute name. Come along, Ginti~!"

They left the club, as Shido said, "You know what? Ginti's going to be alright…"

Cathode was confused, "Strange… That girl looked awfully familiar."

Anode then asked, "Hey! She left her sketchbook behind! Who's gonna get it for her?"

Otome's book was on the table, as Shido said, "Not it."

Tohka grabbed the sketchbook, as Ginti returned. He said that Otome left her art book behind. Tohka gave it to him and said, "Just make sure she won't lose it, okay?"

Ginti smiled, and then left. Tohka let out a smile and said, "They'll be fine…"

She looked up to the night sky and said, "But thank god it's over… I hope we never see a gem-based human, again…"

Outside, Ginti gave back Otome's sketchbook and said, "Here."

He walked off and said, "Come on. I'll take you someplace."

He was walked far, Otome asked, "Ginti… Did you get my drawing?"

He gasped, as he asked, "Huh? What are you-?"

"You still have it…"

He pulled it out and said, "Uh, yeah… But that drawing is of me and another-. Wait… … …"

He gasped, "We're far from the club, and… Tohka and Shido cannot-. But it's…"

Otome held his hands and whispered, "Missed me, Ginti?"

Ginti gasped, as he asked, "My god… You're… But…"

Otome smiled, "It's me, silly. The same loving android girl you loved, powered by a gem… See?"

She showed her chest, showing a light pink square garnet, in her chest. She closed her small panel and said, "No one must know…"

He asked, "But… You were killed! You chose to stay, after the project was destroyed! Why are you alive?"

She thought, and then sniffled, "I loved you, Ginti… I always did… but… I always wanted to see you again… And so…"

At the lab, Otome was still motionless and deactivated, leaning by the control panel. A figure appeared towards her, and said, "So shines a good deed…"

It was a woman with brown hair, wearing a flowing white dress, as her body was transparent and translucent. She held Otome's face, and then her pink gem on her chest shone. She whispered, "Otome Saotome… Formerly a Rhombloid…"

Her shine shattered the diamond-shaped gem in Otome's intent, and then said, "It's yours, my friend… You helped save Lan Hikari's friends… and even learned more about Mio-Chan's nasty plans… For this, I shall spare you… Live on, Otome Saotome… Live on…"

The woman kissed Otome's nose. As the kiss was planted, the lab exploded, engulfing everyone inside.

Hours passed, as men in white were shoveling out the destroyed remains of Ayame, Tanukichi, and Fuwa. Otome's body disappeared, as they were searching the debris of the testing area. They later confirmed that Otome was completely destroyed, strewn about and buried in the rubble.

As they searched, the woman in white watched, from afar, and then nodded in happiness, "Ginti… Lan thinks of you as a friend, and so do I… Be happy for Otome… like Lan did for me…
Farewell…"

She vanished from the world, returning to where she came from. Otome, meanwhile, was lying in a bed, in a small apartment building, motionless and stiff. She remained immovable, until nightfall… when she woke up for the first time.

Ginti asked, "It… It really is you! Is it?"

Otome grinned, as she hugged his waist, "You know… We never get to know each other, too well… What say you? Your place… or mine?"

Ginti grabbed Otome by the waist, as she cried, "HEY! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?"

He raised her up high, as he laughed. She cried out, "PUT ME DOWN, YOU BRUTE! HEY! ARE YOU LISTENING TO ME?"

He laughed, as he spun around with her. He said, "Otome… My darling Otome… You came back to me…"

Otome blushed, as she heard his voice. She smiled, as she was in tears, "I am back… Things will never break us apart, again…"

Ginti held her and said, "When you turn 21, I'll treat you to a drink. For now, let's go home…"

Otome smiled, as she hugged him, "I love you…"

She added, "OH! This is between the both of us… Those losers… they can't know about me… But in return, can I draw the Electronica Sisters?"

He said, "Anything you want…"

They kissed, as he said to her, "Let's go home."

They walked together, holding hands, as the same woman in a transparent state appeared from behind them, behind a post.

"Be happy…" she whispered, "…for Lan… I miss him so…"

Meanwhile, in the field where the Rhombloid Labs once stood, SAIA remained motionless and broken, with her body slowly recovering. Just then, a figure appeared and wrapped a black bandage around her wounded left eye. She removed her clothing and stood her straight.

"Really? Tokyo Tower's gem… How pathetic…" she removed the gem and held it with her hands, "Interesting… but simply useless…"

She crushed the gem, as she said, "It's like something I sensed before… This gem reminds me of her. Fine… It must be my fate… But fate must be purged…"

She held up a dark red gem, circular and shiny, as she replaced it onto Saya's chest. The woman rubbed her hands on her bare chest, as she hissed, "It's all set. I've taken the first steps… for my revenge… The War of the Gems in Tokyo… has just begun…"

Her reflection shows, as she has long black hair, pale skin, and vampire fangs. Her eyes flashed a reddish hue, as Saya suddenly reactivated herself.

"How may I please you… Master?"

Her voice cackled, as the master unearthed her fangs and said, "Yes… And so it begins… At that time, had I not survived the wreck… if it hadn't been for that traitorous Yui… I wouldn't even be alive…
To augment my limited battery life, I couldn't have survived that wreckage, for as long as I stood. But still… Saya Kisaragi will be the bonds that share… from Tokyo Tower's rhombus gem, to Mount Fuji's amethyst… It ties me… to its core."

She walked passed a motionless and naked Saya, as she continued, covered in shadows, "They seemed to know of my existence… and know of this power I've gained, from retreating to Mount Fuji…
The gem… It's always the diamonds and jewels that power up our life and meaning… And given our advantages and disadvantages…"

She hissed, as Saya's body was standing in attention, "I will eliminate them, soon… All of them… Friends of Lan Hikari… friends of Yui-Bot… ALL will suffer my wrath, soon enough… Lan Hikari and his foolish friends will be destroyed, soon…"

She smirked, showing her pale blue eyes, "Isn't that right… Saya Kisaragi?"

Saya spoke, "Yes, my queen…"

Her right eye glowed in a demonic reddish shine, as the woman was wearing a black bra and corset, with dark purple panties, and a blood red garterbelt with stockings. Her hands have dark purple nails and scars on her left arm. She also has big breasts, long black hair, and a dark blue gem on her chest. She raised her hand and said, "Very good… We must grow my army. Lan Hikari and his friends will know my wrath, soon… And this time, Yui-Bot can't save him, this time."

She concluded, as the entire place went black.

"So begins… my revenge…"

To be continued…
