Idea

So, there is an old and not very good anime by the name of Unbreakable Machine Doll which has an interesting concept of A.I. dolls with pseudo magic powers. Their are two general kinds of dolls with many subsets in the anime, legal dolls and banned dolls, banned dolls have to cause some sort of harm to the user or other doll, wether its consumption of raw meat (generally human), consumption of other dolls power sources (which are basically a sentient beings heart) or drawing on a users very life force.

Now I actually love the concept, but their execution, plus the fact that it ends so suddenly turns me off the series in general.

The second source I am drawing inspiration from is Sasori from Naruto. Sasori was an absolutely bad-ass character that dies a frankly pathetic death that it ruins that absolute bad-arse factor of a man who by his own words has killed countries, and managed to kill the strongest Kazekage in his countries history.

So the idea for this, is Danny triggers when he reads through Taylors journals in the aftermath of the locker incident and realizes that his daughter best friend/sister in all but blood has been torturing her for almost two years, goes basically crazy trying to fix her and essentially transplants her mind into a doll like body with a significant brute rating. Were talking brute 5 with commiserate mover rating that will only improve with time.

I also figure when Taylor wakes up and realizes what he's done, she freaks out, and triggers with Tinker abilities that she uses to improve her own body and create more puppets that she can control a-la Sasori style.

A.K.A. Dragon 2.0

Dolls and Self improvement

Taylor awoke blearily as something shouted in her ear. She opened to strangely stiff eyelids to see her father on a T.V. screen shouting at her.

"Taylor! Taylor! You need to wake up now Taylor! We don't have very long until you "

Taylor blinked her still stiff eyes. Her dad, her dad, well, quite frankly he looked wrecked. His eyes were shadowed by two dark bags that were so large, it almost looked like he had been socked in the face. He also looked like he had dropped ten or twenty pounds.

Taylor opened her mouth and spoke, she was shocked at her voice. It was inhumanly smooth.

"Dad?… Whats going on? Where am I? Where are you?"

Her father on screen gave a trembling smile.

"You might not remember, but you were attacked… You were going to die."

Taylors hand blocked the gasp that threatened to escape from her throat.

"I was at home trying to gather things to bring to your hospital room and make it feel a little more homely, when I discovered your diary. I read it. And… And I triggered. I triggered with the ability to be able to save you."

Taylor looked down at her hands. At the doll like joints, and the inhuman porcelain color. And she felt an icy hot pit form in her gut.

"What… What did you do?"

Danny frown was even more intimidating over then screen with his altered, more intense features.

"I saved you. I made you better. Now no one can hurt you. You are stronger, faster, smarter, and all around better then anyone you are likely to face, and just in case you aren't. I made a serious of emergency protocols in case of emergency. All you have to do to trigger them-"

Just then the door behind Danny on the television screen blew in and a shadowy form ghosted in. Danny turned around and snarled as a trio of crossbow bolts embedded themselves into his chest.

The shadow resolved itself into a strangely familiar figure that twitched in shock when it saw what was on the screen.

"Taylor?!"

She took off her mask, and Taylor felt her fists crumpling the metal seat she was resting on.

It was Sophia Hess. The evil, and usually Taylor wouldn't use the term like that, but the girl was someone that she didn't hesitate to apply it too. She had tortured her for almost two years…. But there was something she was missing… Some act that she knew was worse, something that she knew made her hate Sophia, but what was it?

"Sophia…"

Taylor growled, her perfect voice becoming something almost inhuman.

Then the oddest thing happened. Sophia smiled, a genuinely kind, and loving smile that sent shivers down Taylors spine.

"Its good too see you Tay. Where are you? Tell me so I can come get you okay. I need to know that your okay."

Taylor felt her jaw drop. After what she DID!? Sophia wants to know that she was Okay?!

Sophia noticed the expression on Taylor's face even over the television screen and frowned

"Hey, whats wrong Tay? What did he do to you?"

Taylor snarled and stood up, the fabric of the black funeral dress tearing as she accelerated at unreal speeds to stand in front of the television monitor.

"Whats Wrong? Whats WRONG!? I will kill you for what you just did to my dad!"

And the with a roar she smashed the television screen, the shock wave blowing back her hair.

And with one final hateful look at the television screen Taylor left the room.

Scene Break- Some remote viewing station many miles away

Armsmaster came in and saw Sophia, mask off, next to a corpse, and a monitor showing noting but static looking devastated.

Striding forward he laid a concerned hand on her shoulder.

"Are you all right? Where is she? Did you find her?"

Sophia just start sobbing.

End

MWHAHAHAHA!

Anyway, quick side note from some of the comments form last chapter, I finished the authors not for that at like four in the morning, so I sort of forgot part of that. Yes the Indigo tribe and technically the black lanterns forcefully draft people, but they also have people willingly join. For example, Indio herself and William Hand for each respective lantern corp. Now. That said, for the most part these are the exceptions that prove there rule, but what I have never seen is someone willingly join the Sapphire lantern corp. Like ever.

Anywho, ratings are as follows,

Brute 6: In both anime references the characters I was looking at were able to crush large boulders, as well as tanking significant, ground shattering strikes.

Mover 5: Mover rating is a little hard because she wouldn't have teleport capability, but she would be incredibly fast, like far, far beyond human ability. Like speeding bullet type stuff.

Thinker 5: Another hard one to rate given the 'artificial' nature of her brain. So I'm simply saying she can think faster then the average joe, essentially more processing speed along with an eidetic memory.

Tinker 7: She has targeted self improment, so eventually she would have a blaster rating as well as increasing her ratings for Brute and Mover, as well as an eventual Master rating.

Master 8: (eventually). I like to give all of my ideas a route for ramping up for eventual end bringer and triumvirate confrontation. So for puppet Taylor I would at some point give her Sasori's red army move where he summons 100 puppets.
