Peter Giese, Super Idol!
(ピーター·ギース、スーパーアイドル!の巻)
(or "Fan-Bot Shipping and Service")
NOTE: The arc starts, once we finish where we left off.
Doctor Klotzenstein then said, "Fine… But rest assured I'm already dead, if I told you. I was only following orders… for her."
"Her?"
Doctor Klotzenstein then said to Michelle about a certain item M was looking for "Project Yamo". She was concerned, as he told him that the true purpose of his duty, to this day, is to capture Project Yamo, present her to M, and get his life back.
But Michelle is about to find out more about Yamo.
"You see, all the facts about Yamo are accurate, but between you and me, young sparrow, that those facts on Wikipedia are all lies."
Michelle asked, "What are you saying?"
Klotz explained, "Isn't it obvious? The Project Yamo was created, long before the Alternate World Fusion!"
He then told the story, which was inaudible. Here's part one of Project Yamo's past:
"The year was 1989. It was on a spring day in Japan. The Japanese and Germans decided to make the perfect computer. One that would be suitable for preventing wars and disasters. However, it was a toss-up on how to make it. Using the scientific minds of German Engineering and Japanese Customization of cosplay and robotics, they were able to make the perfect humanoid computer. It was made to look like a 16-year old girl, cute, beautiful, and with looks to kill.
But overtime, her body began to malfunction, after every attempt. But they failed to fix the problem. Even through the Germans' expertise in engineering, they still didn't fix her. So, they powered down the project and waited years to try again, hoping to see what we can adapt in. It took fifteen years to fix her, and she was perfect in all functions, including Wi-Fi support."
Michelle was shocked, learning the whole truth about Project Yamo, in which Lyuze told April and January, back at Luna Cove. Klotzenstein then said, "Well, there you have it. The awful truth, from one person to another… Why don't you report this to your boss and be quick about it? I'll be on my way."
Michelle then asked, "One last question, Klotzenstein. I want to know… Who was this M you refer to? Who is she?"
Klotzenstein then sneered, "Well, you said Miyamoto, as in Rebecca Miyamoto, the alleged murderer of Rei Tachibana."
"That's exactly want I meant!"
"Then… You are such a loser, mein fraulein. Like I would side with a girl that whimpers and cries behind a curtain? My boss, M, was ruthless, intelligent, athletic, and can sing 40 Beatles songs in one day! In fact, your last name is Nevins, as in Steven Nevins, the man that pummeled me. You know… "M" is worried about you, him, and all the rest. In fact, I overheard her saying it, about you – Two Groups of birds, One Stone. M has a grudge on your brother and Steven Cooke. Oh, brother, what a loser, whoever he is!"
Michelle gasped, as she knew who "M" was. "M? It… It can't be…"
She seethed in anger and growled, "I should've known it was her… That French Poodle!"
She grabbed Klotzenstein's collar and shouted, "YOU BASTARD! YOU WORK FOR HER?"
She launched a huge right hook, "DIE!"
POW!
The Doctor was sent flying, as Michelle leapt up, grabbing Klotz in an Argentine Backbreaker. She then plummeted and started to spin around, screaming in anger.
"I don't know how she got here, but it all makes sense. Rei Tachibana is around, a doll named Yamo is hounding the streets, and the guys are in danger! I don't forgive anything, as long as she is around! I swear on the ghost of King George, you'll pay for this… Melissa Hawthorne!"
She spun into a huge tornado, as Heather gasped, "LOOK OUT! Michelle has gone crazy!"
Stocking cried out, "HIT THE DECK!"
Klotzenstein shrieked in horror, as Michelle yelled, "Joanna, this is for you (Just this once)! And M, The Gang is coming for you! I won't let you ruin this, EVER! THIS IS FOR THE BOYS AND GIRLS IN THE U.K.! FOR LONDON… MANCHESTER… AND ALL OF GREAT BRITAINNIA!"
She plummeted into the ground, destroying a huge chunk of the field.
"CARDIFF CYCLONE SLAM!"
CRASH! BOOM! WHAM!
"CURSES! FOILED AGAIN!"
BOOM!
Klotzenstein exploded into bits, as Michelle was caught in the explosion.
"HEATHER!" Percival screamed, as Heather ran to the explosion.
He grabbed her and shouted, "YOU IDIOT! NO!"
"MICHELLE!" She shrieked.
Steven N watched on, and grew worried over his sister. The Angels and Demons were scared, as the smoke subsided. A figure stood tall, as it raised its arm up in victory, holding up 3 Heaven Coins.
Panty gasped, "LOOK!"
Michelle survived the explosion, as she let out a smile, while still battered and bloodied.
Steven N smiled, "She never gave up… Runs in the family."
The referee called it, "Michelle Nevins is the winner!"
DING! DING! DING!
The host cried out, as the crowd went wild, "YES! OH, MY GOD! Michelle Nevins has exterminated the Doctor Ghost! Who ya gonna call, people?"
So 1980s, people…
Michelle stumbled down, in pain, as Steven caught her. He said, "You okay, Sis?"
"Yeah… I don't know why… but… someone…"
Percival asked, "Never mind that. What was Klotzenstein saying to you?"
Michelle groaned, "I'll tell you, at the hospital. I need medical help."
She called to Stocking, "Here, Stocking!"
She threw the Heaven Coins to her and said, "Give these to Garterbelt. He'll make use of it."
Stocking nodded, as Kneesocks said, "Miss Nevins, you are such a fighter. Anybody who survives, after being impaled by a ghost, is okay for us."
Heather giggled, "Michelle has nerves and a body of steel!"
Michelle giggled, "Aw, Heather…"
Heather then said, "Listen… About what happened… Sorry about making you worry. Thanks for caring for me, when I was down."
Michelle smiled, "Heather… You're alright, love."
She glared at Panty and snapped, "But YOU are an idiot! You are the definition of Dumb Bloody Blonde! You helped us out, but you can't even figure out that I am a woman!"
Steven N smiled, "Save your strength, Sis. Come on. Let's go home."
Percival called, "You guys coming?"
Scanty said, "In a minute."
The Gang left the arena, as the crowd cheered on. Panty then scoffed, "Psh. Fine. What is her problem? Michelle doesn't need to scowl at me. Asshole."
She then thought, and then gasped in horror, realizing the obvious:
"Wait… She's a WHAT?!"
She was balled up in embarrassment, and was in sadness, "Aw, man! Who knew I made a mistake about him, uh, her? Oh, GOD, I'm all shitted up in humiliation!"
Scanty smirked, "What an idiot…"
Stocking said, "Told ya, Sis."
At the diner, in Targus City, the waitress turned off the TV, as Peter cheered on.
"THE GANG! #1! Yes! Yes! WE rock!" He danced around.
Mizuki yelled, "COMPOSE YOURSELF!"
Peter sat down, as he called to the waitress, "HEY, Ma'am! Gang wins! Five bowls, all around, of your BEST gyudon, on me!"
Farra snapped, "WHAT? AGAIN?!"
Peter smiled, "Hey, we deserve a victory meal!"
He then did his Kinnikuman Gyudon Dance:
Great tasting Gyudon for three hundred years!
It's quick and it's tasty and it's very cheap. Ha-HA!
(Cow appeared from the bowl and hit Peter's head with a mallet)
The waitress, with a medium-length black hairstyle, in a green dress and Persocom ears, bowed and said, "Oh, more Gyudon? You and your friends must be hungry."
Mizuki said, "He had three bowls, today."
Peter smiled, "Miss, don't worry. It's all around, since our Gang won the Footrace of Death! Worry not your bunny ears! Peter Giese and his friends are having the time of our lives!"
The waitress then smiled, "OH! You must be The Gang's huge idol! It's an honor!"
She let out a smile, as Mizuki asked, "You know her?"
Peter replied, "No… But I guess I have a fan base."
Farra sighed, "It's probably something else."
She then said, "Please wait, while we prepare to heat up the bowls. It's on the house. Anything for you, Mister Giese. In fact… OH! Right. Please excuse me."
She left to the kitchen, as Peter smirked, "HAH! I knew it! Fan Club~!"
April asked, "Does Mister Giese even have one?"
Farra said, as she sipped her coffee, "No. It's common to him. I don't get why. Very few women surround him. This is new for him, in front of us."
Peter said, "Well, as long as it is not robots. Those things give me the creeps. Just so you know, I have about 45% of my fans are gynoids, and it's in this world, only. My fan base is awesome, but I still have Percival and Farra to catch up to. But having them adulate on you, all the time, seemed… well… creepy."
Farra snuffed, "You don't even know what adulate means. … … …Oh, wait."
January smiled, "We enjoy your stardom, but we don't act like babies."
Mizuki said, "That's right. Glad you are one-and-only to me, and not to robots."
Farra said, "Big deal. Steven Cooke missed all this, and Peter Giese is explaining why he's a robo-fetish."
He yelled, "SHUT UP! I am not!"
She barked, "DON'T YOU SCOWL AT ME!"
As they continued to eat, a girl with long green hair and a trench coat was watching in the window booth. She blushed heavily, as she saw Peter, who was arguing with Farra.
"He is… so dreamy…" she spoke.

Elsewhere, Rei Tachibana was putting the finishing touches on her next plan, when she viewed what was going on. She said, "So, our big ponderosa pine is a robot fan magnet, huh?"
She was eavesdropping on The Gang, during The Original Gang's Footrace of Death. She then said, "Sounds like a devious plan for M. All I need is to make it, like he stays at a hotel in Targus City, and have ALL the appointed female robots awe at him, through hero-worship… and make it to the point of breaking down in a nervous mess! One huge mountain to climb… and with an army of controlled android groupies, yes… One less Gang member of The Gang, in M's plan of revenge."
She laughed evilly, as she began to pull out a spell book and begin to find the perfect spell to control the mecha-populace.
At the van, The Gang was driving off, heading to Daten City, The Gang's upcoming gig.
Mizuki smiled, "It'll be nice to head off to Daten City and see them all, again."
Farra exclaimed, "Well, first, we need to find Steven Cooke and Yakumo. Lyuze is no longer in our crosshairs. I'll text him."
April smiled, "That's a great idea, Mother Dear."
Peter sighed, "Ah, well. Goodbye, Targus City, and hello, music gig!"
Mizuki said, "Are you still in awe by that waitress's smile?"
Peter barked, "Please, Miz! I don't need that kind of talk. I knew she was a robot. The ears were a dead giveaway. Plus, who knew that the fans love me, more than Steven?"
January remarked, "Lots. Steven's too new."
He stated, "And that's my point. Like I'm going to be salaamed and worshipped by gynoids! I know I said that I enjoy it, but under no circumstances that artificial life can entice me! Let's face it. If life gives you an artificial watermelon, you smash the hell out of it, until it's in pieces, and again, until it turns into gush. And well, that's as far as you go, until it becomes watermelon juice."
He concluded, "Plus, I rather have a make-out session with you, rather than a doll, Miz. I'd never cheat on you, if I did, either."
Mizuki blushed, "Aw, Peter…"
Farra gagged, "That is sickening."
April asked, "Wait, what are we talking about again?"
A long-haired girl, in a blue shirt and jeans, signaled to the van, as she held up a sign that says "Giese". The van stopped, as the girl approached it. Mizuki asked, "Hey, Miss. You lost?"
The girl giggled, "Actually, I am by the hotel. My mother wanted me to invite you guys in, FREE of charge, for the night, in our Targus City Hotel! This one is made famous for Peter Giese, our favorite idol!"
Peter gasped, "What, me?"
April asked, "How would you know about it?"
The girl smiled, "Because… I am his biggest fan! I'll see if we get you a room for all five of you! Mister Giese will get the complimentary DELUXE suite with his girlfriend."
Mizuki blushed, "Deluxe?"
Peter smiled, "I'm in! You got a deal!"
Peter and Mizuki stepped out, as Farra was suspicious.
"Something about this thing bites me in the blue streak. This girl, with long hair, blue clothes, and shiny blue eyes… She's a fan, too, right? But still… How do we get a FREE room, for knowing this tall mountain of a moron?"
Peter cheered, "Not that I care, but it's FREE!"
He barked at Farra, "So, you think I am a robo-fetish, huh? Dumbass!"
He laughed heartily, as Farra snuffed, "This has got to be a nightmare. But, it doesn't matter. We do investigate any disturbances in AAW. Better ride it out, before anything weird happens… again."
They entered the hotel lobby, as a lot of girls were cheering on for Peter. The Gang girls were disgusted.
Mizuki snuffed, "I smell a rat. I know he won't cheat on me, but something's amiss."
April asked, "What makes you say that?"
Mizuki was annoyed, as the girls bowed. They cheered, "We love you, Peter!"
They squealed in glee, as Peter walked to the receptionist desk, all brave and bold. He appeared at the desk and smiled, "Ah… Sweet suite. A sweet misery of mystery. Uh… Whatever a philosopher said that is best known for."
The girls were in huge awe, as they had heart-shaped eyes.
Farra snuffed, "Oh, brudder…"
She snapped, "Can we please see the deluxe suite?"
Mizuki said, "Yeah! We have to get to Daten City, today! Just say no!"
Peter barked, "Are you kidding? We never slept the night at Luna Cove, all because of Steven Stupidhead and Yakumo! What choice do we have? HE owes us! Besides, I had Percival on the DL and got permission to spend the night! Our gig isn't until next week…"
January huffed, "And Targus City, from here to Daten, is four days far."
Peter smiled, "Jealous."
He asked the clerk, "Good sir… The FREE Deluxe Room and a room for my friends?"
A female clerk with a teal suit and brown hair done in a bun said, "Yes, sir. On the house. Names, please?"
He smiled, "Oh, sure. It's Pet-!"
The clerk replied, "Not you! We know who you are!"
She winked, "Handsome."
Mizuki growled, as she barked at the clerk, "Mizuki Takase! And I'm his girlfriend!"
The clerk smiled, "We know that…"
April bowed, "I'm April Marciano-Gaynes. This is my sister, January."
The clerk said, "Uh-huh. And you are?"
Farra sighed, "Farra Stevens-Gaynes. I'm their "Mother"."
The clerk shook her head, "They don't look like you."
"They're adopted."
"I didn't know…"
"And they're androids."
"Wow…"
Peter called, "Madam, how about we head to our room?"
The clerk said, as she gave them their keys, "Sure. We'll have a chauffeur park your van, out back. Our Hot Idol is in Room 501, our luxury suite, while the ladies are in Room 503, a normal motif."
Peter squealed, "NEAT! This is awesome~!"
Farra complained, "Hey, hang on! Why does he get the luxury room, and we four ended up in the cheap seats?"
Mizuki smirked, "Not us four, us three. I'm hanging with him."
She then asked the clerk, "If any, could you validate our parking?"

Elsewhere, Rei found the magic trick for having gynoids awe over one person. However, she found just a fable, not an incantation.
"Huh? It's not a spell?" She read, "It's a natural spell…"
She then read a story behind an idol's love and worship:
"It is said that a king or queen is worshipped, among the things they did. However, sometimes they can grow to the point of not taking it. It happened long ago, in a small city in ancient Greece."
"Greek Myths?" Rei thought.
She continued reading:
"In one small city in Greece, a normal lowly farmer was working the fields, during hardship. One day, he managed to help a young lady to help mend the fields. During that hardship, which lasted two hours, he managed to fix the fields, perfectly aligned and symmetrical. The girl was pleased that she adored him, for his help, preventing certain famine and pestilence. Since then, she addressed to everybody of his handiwork.
It wasn't long before the Emperor noticed of the man's certain technique. The Emperor offered the farmer his services to fixing the royal botanical gardens. As he successfully mended to soil that grew certain exotic flowers, the Emperor made him his royal servant and gardener. But, it wasn't for gardening. The women tended to his every whim, as he was being treated like a king; or in this case, a Greek God. It was luck that he was being praised and pampered by their lust and admiration, but somehow it was all a trick. The girls that admire the man did not tend to fixing the fields.
The Roman Gods saw this matter and decided to punish him, for his sudden act of greed. It wasn't greed. It was sloth. He simply forgot about his duty. Rather than punishing him, they'd let him be continuously praised, pampered, adorned, and even being embraced by. Months passed, as the man who helped the emperor started to tire out in fatigue, being touched upon, day after day. He completely had forgotten about his duties. In the end, he died of exhaustion and a heart attack.
That was the Greek Gods act of punishment. Leave well enough alone… so he'd suffer the punishment, firsthand."
Rei smirked, "So… He died of a heart attack, after being groveled by hot girls. Such an evil plan… out of Greek Mythology."
She then glowed in her ghostly eyes and said, "Well, mine's better."
She then held up a CD and whispered, "Using that fable, I shall infect all of the fembots in Targus City, with this Love Circuit #11. This will make the big Peter Giese a withered and shattered mess, since he hasn't had a heart attack in his life. But his paranoia will ruin him, even his own girlfriend would leave him. But then there's the blonde and those gun-toting Goth Lolis. I'll have to eliminate them, before they grew suspicious."
She then placed the CD down and said, "Tonight, when he sleeps… I shall strike at Targus City. Only then I will capture Project Yamo for M."
She then thought, "Strange. There were six of these AAW Interlopers. Where's the arrogant dick?"

Back in the ocean, Yakumo and Steven C were heading back to Targus City, after visiting Honeydew Island. Yakumo smiled, as she hoped that she'll be safe. Steven C, however, grew worried.
"Steven Cooke isn't liking this," he said, "I got Farra's message. I hope I can make it to Targus City, in time."
He got the text:
"Steven.
You better head to Targus. Peter's getting the royal treatment, and I don't like the feel of it. Find your 'girlfriend' and meet us there. I'll explain later.
Farra"
He then snuffed, "Whatever the reason, he might be in danger. I smell a trap. If Steven Cooke knows Peter Giese, he's going to pickle himself into a kettle of fish."
Knowing Steven Cooke, he'd jump to conclusions, on occasions. But in this case, he was right.
At the huge room, the room had a deluxe bed, with red sheets, and the bedroom was coated in gold. The rest of the room was draped in a blue carpet and shiny white wallpaper. Mizuki and Peter stepped in, as the bellboy, in a red uniform, showed them to their room. He turned to Farra, April, and January and said, "Miss Stevens, let me take you to your room."
Farra waved, "Good luck, bro."
They left, as Peter cheered, "DUDE! This is awesome! Look at the décor and bedspread! I'll bet the bathroom is like worth thousands of currency… and chili. Sorry, that had to be somewhere, plus, that was toilet humor."
Mizuki said, "I know. Who know that FREE rooms get you going? This'll be great, since we are spending the night here."
She ordered, "One night, and that's it."
He ran to the bathroom and closed the door. He then called out, "Aw, gyp! It's like a normal bathroom in these hotels… Plus, it has white tile and marble paneling! Lame!"
Mizuki sighed, "Big Guy's just not amused."
The bellboy returned, with a wooden plank. Mizuki then said, as the bellboy held the plank up, "Well, as long as we get to Daten City. My only wish is how to get there, before the gig. Maybe I ca-."
WHACK!
Mizuki fell to the ground, out cold, with a lump on her head. The bellboy removed his hat and said in a female voice, "You had your turn, Takase. You don't need him."
The bellhop was a female bellhop. She tied her arms in the back and shoved her in the closet. She locked the door and placed a sign that said "No admittance allowed". It was only to throw them off guard.
She then said, "With our idol without a girlfriend, his fans will get the chance to meet the TRUE Peter Giese… He, he, he, he, he, he…"
Peter came out and asked, "Oh! Did you say something, babe?"
He then said to the bellhop, "Oh, sorry. You're not Mizuki."
The bellhop bowed, "My apologies. She had to step out. She'll be back later."
"Cool. I'll handle the wait for my girl. Did you know I dated her, after she-?"
"I hear. Anyway, enjoy your stay."
She shut the door, as Peter smirked, "I'm loving this, so far… Even though they look too cute, I don't mind the fan-service. Plus, Daten City is close-by. We'll reunite soon… I dunno… in a day or three?"
He lied into bed, as he was laughing in joy. A knock on the door was made.
"Huh? Must be Miz."
He got up and said, "Of course, I didn't order room service. That's obvious. Even if I did, it's FREE! Maybe…"
He opened the door and cheered, "COME ON IN!"
A girl with long green hair and robot ears appeared. She was wearing a red school uniform. She bowed and said, "It has been long, Peter Giese. I am your biggest fan…"
Negima's Chachamaru Karakuri – making her debut
Peter gasped, "Dude? You're a chick? Uh, chick-bot?"
She introduced herself, "I am Chacha. I am the President of the Peter Giese Fan Club for Female Robots; or the "PGFC4FR". I happen to see you around, since the diner, when you acted like a young boy."
"It's a gift. Come on in." He smiled.
He then thought, "Fuck! Another robo-groupie! Why do I have the 50-50 card? Wait… I have a fan club?"
He asked, "So, how long have you started the fan club?"
Chacha said, "Oh, about seven months, since the alternate worlds started to fuse. I have about 453 members, in different clubs. You should see the list."
Peter blushed, "Aw, pshaw. I happened to be loved by the fans."
He thought, "Four hundred and fifty-three gynoids? SERIOUSLY?"
He asked, "Uh, Chacha… How did you know me, in the first place?"
She explained, "Well, aside from the diner when you did your happy dance and fought with the blonde woman, I happened to own one of your LPs, when you went solo. In fact, I happened to be a fan of your George Harrison covers, "If I Needed Someone", "While my Guitar Gently Weeps", and "I Me Mine". Surprised that you and your friends sang good, almost like Oasis."
Peter said, "What can I say? I'm good for it, when it comes to deep tones."
He thought, "She probably downloaded it into her brain. Does she even have an iTunes account? I know I don't."
Chacha requested, "You are good, when you often act jovial. Perhaps you may dance that dance you did, earlier."
Peter declared, "NO! I'm not dancing that Gyudon Dance! My contract said that I can do this dance, once a chapter. I'm not like Kinnikuman, who did it four times in one episode."
She pouted, "Oh."
He smiled, "But it's cool. We can totally hang together. But Mizuki and I are sleeping together. Of course, I haven't heard of her, lately. You think she got a bug?"
Chacha replied, "Uh, um… If it is fine, can I sleep with you, Mister Giese?"
She bowed, "Forgive me. I'm not that kind of groupie. I just wanted to know the real Peter Giese!"
He snuffed, "Please. You wouldn't know the real me, if your circuits weren't jumbled."
He thought, "But that's life."
She then presented her right arm, which had a white cast, and said, "Here. At least, sign my cast? I wanted you to sign my chest, but it would run, seeing I have chrome skin."
Peter sighed, "Fine. As long as it's an arm…"
He signed it, as he replied, "Listen, I don't mean to bug you or try anything funny, bra, but I have issues with the female robot fan-worship. I do appreciate you and your kind to praise me and give me the fame I desired… But I don't think I can accept 45% of your kind to awe me. To be honest, I do… but it's not good, when it comes to just one type of people."
Chacha blushed and nodded, "I think I understand."
"Huh?"
"I think you need someone, other than us robots. You need the whole races, like demons, cats, dogs, wizards, and all the vital tropes for women."
Peter's forehead turned pale blue and said, "That's not what I meant…"
She left, as Peter went back to bed, all embarrassed. He sighed, "Man… I thought she'd never leave. I cannot believe that they'd awe at me. I'm always the first Gang member to be worshipped… Maybe I should quit."
He then thought, "But, if I did, then no one else would like me. And where would that lead me to?"
He griped, as he slammed his head on a pillow, "AH! This sucks! I get the celebrity treatment, and I ended up with rusted-up diamonds and silver plates. Farra had it easy, I'll bet. I'll bet she's laughing at me. Bitch."
A knock was made, as he then called out, "Yes?"
The door opened, as a few girls came to him. They all had shiny eyes, wavy hair, and school uniforms. They all cheered and scream for him, as Peter sighed, "Well, as long as it's not all-robot…"
He let them all in, as he started to party with the robot girls, in which he didn't know. The guy's too clueless to know, however, he's not stupid.
He spoke at the 4th wall, "Yes, always."
As they partied, back at Room 503, Farra grumbled, as she was sleeping on the couch, while April and January were in the bathroom, "Why does he go wild in hotels?"
She snarled, as she covered her head with a pillow, "I hate my best friend… God knows why I'd never say it to him…"
She fell asleep, as the ruckus in the hotel continued.

That night, Peter cleaned up his own room and said, "Good. That party didn't last. We partied until 11! I guess Midnight wasn't good enough."
He tossed the black bags into a pile and yawned, "Whatever… The maid will get this, as long as she doesn't cuddle at me, first. It's fun and games, until someone gets fired, for caressing a superstar. Maybe I am just a celeb, in a rock band-slash-secret organization, but I'm human. A guy can take so much, if any."
He went to bed, as he started to groan, "Maybe I'll leave, tomorrow morning, before we get to Daten City. If I stay here, I'll become a screw loose, and I don't mean it as a robotic sort of way."
He then thought, "And Mizuki still hasn't returned? She must be worried about me, because of all this."
He lied back down and huffed, "Whatever. I'll find her, tomorrow."
He fell asleep, as a knock was made. He woke up and groaned, "Yes? Come in… Make it quick…"
A woman with pink spiky hair, a white jacket, and dark burgundy pants appeared to Peter. It was Lyuze, the same robot that is after Yakumo, the alleged Project Yamo. She whispered to him, "You're Peter Giese, right?"
He yawned, "Mizuki?"
His eyes were all blurry, as he was exhausted. He yawned, "How about you come to bed with me? I'm having a bad day."
Lyuze snickered, "Oh, I will, darling honey…"
She thought, "Maybe I can make him talk and ask where Yakumo is. He and Steven Cooke are tight, but I don't allow people who take a dangerous woman to safety. Fools."
She removed her jacket and went to bed with him. She then held him tight and whispered, "Maybe I should tell you something about… oh… back at Luna Cove…"
"If it's about the ruckus, I said I was sorry, Miz. And it was Farra's fault."
"No, I mean… You didn't know about Project Yamo, do you?"
Peter said, as he stretched, "Well, now that you mention it… No. I'm a little worried about how April and January were somewhat secretive."
He moaned, "Then again… That's androids for you."
Lyuze thought, "The guy is so stupid. He actually thinks I'm his girlfriend."
She reached for his clothes and decided to steal from him, "Maybe I can see what he has. I think I owe five bucks to Casshern. I knew I shouldn't have bought some rust remover, the other day. He is loaded. He'll understand."
But then, she found his wallet, which showed Peter's AAW license.
Peter Giese – Alliance Across the World Operative: B-Class
"Alliance Across the World?!" She gasped, "He's an alternate world investigator? But that means…"
She then thought, and then smirked, "Well, I guess it's time he knew. Maybe he'll understand Yamo to his friends… or should I say operatives."
He grumbled, "You say something, babe?"
Lyuze whispered, "Oh, nothing… You want to know what April and January said to me, about Project Yamo?"
Peter yawned, "I'm listening… that is, if I am awake, I may be listening."
Lyuze then told Peter about Project Yamo. Meanwhile, in the closet, Mizuki woke up, tied up and in pain.
"What happened?" She moaned in pain, "How did I get here?"
She tried to break free, but suddenly heard a voice.
"Huh? What's that?" She whispered, as she heard Lyuze's voice.
Lyuze said, "Are you ready, honey?"
Peter groaned, "Yeah."
Mizuki gasped, "That… That bitch!"
But then she heard the true story of Project Yamo, and was lost for words. She couldn't move, nor could she break out of her bonds. But she heard every word of it.
She said, "Whoa… Interesting… But, the thing is… I never heard of it from the Sisters. This is new to me."
Her speech was inaudible, but only to the second half of it. Here's more about Project Yamo:
"Years later, the robot was built to perfection, easily capable of adapting to other CPUs. She was considered intelligent and very psychosomatic to others. All they needed was a name for her, after successful attempts to her psyche. They dubbed her "Ytterbium Automaton for Mind Observation", which is perfect, since she has the ability to learn of each person, in approximately 2.3 seconds, without searching. It was useful, since she would help identify any person, good or bad, in a way for world peace, steady economy, and life without war.
But in time, they knew that ONE robot wasn't enough. They created her likeness from another of their recent works, called Project AM-Net, or "Android Mechanism Network". While the Japanese agreed on creating a cute cybernetic girl, the Germans were well-pleased, seeing that their trademark style of engineering paid off. But, of course, Yamo was proven to be too much for mother Earth.
2004 – Project Yamo was introduced… and soon the critique came to play."
That was it. The final part is later on…
Lyuze whispered, as she held Peter tight, "I'm so sorry that you knew about Yamo, seeing that we trust each other now."
He moaned, "I don't blame ya. Besides, who knew Steven Cooke would date such a monster?"
He grabbed her neck and barked, "Of course, my Miz would never say anything like that!"
He was playing possum. He rubbed his eyes and saw a clear view of the robot scientist, in her clothes and in bed. He growled, "You dare seduce an AAW Agent?"
He threw her down to the floor and got out of bed. He then addressed to her, "All right, Lyuze. What do you want?"
Lyuze pleaded, "I am saving your life. Understand this… This Yamo, or Yakumo, as you mentioned, is dangerous. At first, I didn't trust you, but now-."
"Cut the crap!" He yelled, "I'd like to know how the hell you got here! And where's Mizuki? Where is she?"
A door was pounding. It was from the closet. A voice was screaming, "PETER! PETER! HELP!"
He ran to the door, "Mizuki!"
He opened the door, but it was locked. "Shit! The door is locked! HANG ON, MIZUKI! I'll bust the door down!"
Lyuze responded, as she pushed Peter aside, "Allow me."
She broke the doorknob and opened the door. Mizuki fell down and was gasping for air. Peter untied her, as he glared at Lyuze. He snapped, "Why didn't you say something?"
Lyuze said, "I didn't do it."
Mizuki said, "Believe me… She's right. I know it, since I don't remember. We can trust her."
"Trust?!" Peter yelled, "After what she did? I don't mind a gynoid telling me stories… but THIS? I'm not having sex with an enemy, thank you very much! If I did, I'd know, and that's a blow to my reputation!"
Mizuki said, "Peter, I meant about Project Yamo."
He stated, "Yeah, well, I still cannot stand her."
Mizuki sighed, "Must you be so pushy? I thought she'd kiss you."
He said, "I didn't mean it, like that. Besides, after bringing that K-9, why should I? This is the same woman that wanted Yakumo, under false accusations! And I don't like it, since she was-!"
She blushed, "Aw, there, there. I can make you feel better."
They began to kiss each other, as Lyuze cleared her throat. They stopped, as she said, "If you two are done sucking face, please note that you must not forward this to anyone. But since you two work for the AAW, I figure that you can send it to your boss."
Peter nodded, "Well, yes."
She then walked away and said, "Forgive me, you two. I was thinking about Casshern, and suddenly remembered that I am a fan of yours. Good night."
She shut the door, as Mizuki asked him, "Is it true? Steven and Yakumo… they…"
Peter nodded, as he sighed, "I'm afraid she's right. I'm not that stupid about it. But just to be safe, you tell Farra."
Mizuki blushed and then said, "Okay. But first…"
SLAP!
She slapped Peter in the face, knocking him down, out cold. She went to change. She huffed, "THAT'S for almost having it with a robot woman! If there's one thing I hate, it's competition!"
Peter was in pain, as he groaned, "I deserve it…"
Hours later, Rei began to work on her CD incantation. She typed in Targus City, Robot, Fandom, Gang, Peter, and Harem. She then pressed ENTER on Love Circuit #11.
She then thought, "Love Potion #9 was already taken. But who cares? Peter Giese, time for you… to be given the ULTIMATE celebrity lifestyle. This is your worst nightmare, coming true… and I'm saying that, because I am a ghost.
Enjoy M's evil plan, The Gang. Tomorrow, your beloved 'idol' shall suffer Love Circuit #11 – The Night of 1,000 Fan-Bots!"
She cackled evilly, as lightning began to strike.
"Pleasant nightmares, Giese…"
