[Corruption, Brainwashing, Hypnosis]

"Intruders Detected. Scanning for precise location..."

The dull voice of one of Titan Industries' drones started to echo out as she aimed her blasters at the walls. Part of the upgrades that had been installed into her and other Titan Drones was a specialized scanner. There had been too many people trying to break in and either steal their intel or steal away one of the drones, so this was the solution they had come up with. Properly arm their common soldiers and ensure that they could detect the forces that would be trying to get ahold of them.

Of course it wasn't perfect. In fact, despite having detected the presence of a non-registered individual, the Titan Drone was not able to properly detect their presence. So while she was aware that there was somebody nearby, it was impossible for her to pinpoint their location. Without a proper visual, opening fire was not advised. And protecting Titan property was more important than defending herself...

"A good loyal drone. Your loyalty will be better served as one of our kind." An almost whispy voice echoed out as a carpet of fog started to take shape around the Titan Drone, slowly closing in as it tightened further and further...

The Titan Drone tried to look around, but it was difficult to turn around. In fact, most of her joints were currently... petrified. Whatever this mist was made of, it had managed to completely lock up her ability to move. And without joints, it was impossible for her to move or struggle.

"C-Cease." Even the finer joints that controlled her voice box were currently being turned to stone, as the identityless Titan Drone was unable to do much more than aimlessly stare straight ahead. She couldn't even really see something, all she could do was stand there...

All while her assailant slowly rose from the ground, a sheet of metal folding off her sensual body. She was a Ninja. An Assassin of the Yama Clan, to be precise. Part of the Yama Clan's operating procedure revolved around turning valuable pieces of tech or valuable individuals into golems through the various petrification techniques that they had at their disposal, so they could distract their enemies and turn them into more golems. Rinse repeat until the Yama Clan could rule over their desired territory. Something that was still far off, due to the two other clans that stood in their way.

"Oh, you poor thing." The Yama Ninja said, giggling softly as she brushed her hand against her own skin. She was practically made of rock. In fact, she was one of the loyal golems that had been able to prove her loyalty to the point of being granted greater sentience. And for her service, she was given the duty of changing more into statues. More and more. "Don't worry. You'll be free from that slavery. You will find peace in servitude. Peace as a statue..."

The Titan Drone tried to struggle against her predicament. But there was very little that she could accomplish with most of her joints being petrified. All that she could do was just stare as the sensually-curved rock ninja as she tapped several spots on her partly mechanical body, petrifying more and more of it bit by bit.

With every part of her body that ended up petrified, more and more of her inner processes were stopping. Until there was nothing left. While she hadn't been fully petrified physically, her mind had ground to a halt. All she could do was stare straight ahead, and process absolutely nothing that was happening. She couldn't even truly register the rocky ninja in front of her, nor could she register any of the pings that were pouring through her mind trying to get ahold of her.

"What a wonderful statue you've become." The Yama Ninja chimed as she rubbed her hands together, trembling as she felt the tiniest cracks open as a result of how she stressed her own body. "I can't wait to put you to good use. But before I do, I need to make sure that I can get out of here. It would be a shame if somebody were to make me inanimate before I get home with you and reanimate you into our service!"

Just like that, the Yama Ninja ended up tempting fate itself. Because a massive flaming blade just slashed through the wall to her side, nearly slicing through her in the process. All while the vicious visage of Infernoble Knight poked her head through, clearly frustrated over her pings going unanswered.

"What the hell is that Titan Drone doing!? Does she not understand that I ordered her to return for a checkup?!" Infernoble Knight shouted as her blade's flames died down, returning it to a much more manageable size. Only for it to immediately flare up once again as she laid her eyes on the enemy standing in front of her. "YOU! YOU'RE THE INTRUDER THAT KEPT PINGING ON THE SENSORS!"

The Yama Ninja laughed nervously as she realized just what she was dealing with. Infernoble Knight was one of Titan's top heroes. A violent girl who wanted nothing more than praise and adoration in return for her heroics, no matter if it was deserved or not. But fighting her head on despite that easily exploited personality was a death sentence. The sheer amount of firepower at her disposal would allow her to grill anybody alive. Whether it was the ninja in front of her, or her own allies.

"Elizabeth." The soothing and almost emotionless tone of Obsidious' voice echoed through the Titan Hero's ear. "What can you see? The cameras are still not running at full capacity. I need you to be my eyes and ears." The coolheaded Villainess spoke, expecting a straightforward answer.

Infernoble Knight grit her teeth. "A shitty Ninja's managed to turn a drone into a statue. You don't mind if I cut them both down, right?!" She shouted into her comms unit, all while her blade grew bigger as her anger continued to flare...

The Yama Ninja felt sweat running down her face and into the tiny cracks in her rocky body. This wasn't good. What was she going to do-

Right in the middle of their confrontation, a bomb was suddenly lobbed right past the Yama Ninja's face, the shiny black coating being enough to clue her in. They were here too, huh? Well, then she just had to run!

"AND WHERE THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU'RE GOING?!" Infernoble Knight shouted as she immediately started running after the ninja made of rock, not noticing the bomb that was in her face. Even as it ponked off her face, she proceeded onward-

"Baundo Reversal!"

Right until that bomb exploded in response to the sound of another ninja's voice, the contents violently erupting from the shiny shell as it quickly wrapped right around the Titan Hero's body and squeezed around her as tightly as it possibly could.

"The hell!?" Infernoble Knight cried out, only to be silenced shortly afterward as some of that latex-like gunk sank into her mouth and quickly shut her up completely. Despite the fact that she was supposed to be much stronger than this kind of attack, she had been completely and utterly subdued in a matter of seconds. And she definitely didn't like it, considering how violently she started to thrash around.

All while another Ninja started to sink down from the ceiling, the latex cover that kept her hidden within the shadows folding off her body and serving to catch her as it plopped against the ground. All while she remained mostly covered in the same substance, with only her latex-colored lips being visible. The rest of her form was squeezed as tightly as it possibly could be...

She was a member of the Baundo Clan of Ninja, who came from the same island that the Yama Clan were trying to claim as their own. Unlike their enemies, they were Saboteurs. Using tools that bound the target, they would be able to take them home and make their minds their slaves. The flesh was weak, and that was why they were so obsessed with latex...

In fact, it wasn't hard to tell that she wasn't human either. Those lips were too unnatural. So were the other parts of her body that were faintly visible underneath all of the latex. She was a robot of sorts. Whether she was one of their advanced models or not was hard to tell. One thing was certain, she was going to make sure that Infernoble Knight ended up just like her.

"Subject captured." The robotic Baundo Ninja said, slowly running her fingers along the latex-covered form of the Titan Hero. "What a specimen as well. Your powers were destructive. So destructive that I needed to step in and stop one of my enemies from being killed, all to ensure that this plan would go off without a hitch. You've caused me a lot of trouble, Hero.

Infernoble Knight could definitely hear what was happening around her. And she thrashed about in place as she tried to free herself from her binds. She hated being like this. She hated it, hated it beyond all belief. She didn't want to get converted, that would stop her from getting the fame and fortune and praise that she wanted.

"Still struggling, despite the tightness. You really are a wonderful specimen." The Baundo Ninja muttered as she smiled with those shiny robotic lips of hers. "But that defiance will be stomped out once your mind has been properly drained into its new prison. You will be part of the cogs in our machine. And once you've been converted, you will return here. Return to gather more specimens that can be converted into our mechanical forces. It'll be wonderful. In fact..."

She trembled as she spoke. Even in a mechanical shell, the desires and the original memories of the mind stuck inside it were able to affect it in such an overwhelming way. "I can remember when I first was drained from my body. I was not so different from you, Hero. I fought for justice, but the Baundo were able to overpower me and trap me. Letting me sit in darkness for what felt like eons. And when I finally regained any sense of light, I had been stuffed into one of these glorious bodies. Of course I struggled, but they kept me from lashing out by abusing the darkness that I had grown so used to. Every time that I tried to fight back, I would be forced back in there. Until I obeyed. Until I became one with their cause. Just like you will be..."

"That's a very engaging story. Unfortunately, I would like for you to let go of that precious pawn of mine."

The Baundo Ninja barely had a moment to react to the incoming attack before the floor underneath her shattered, just enough to leave her stuck inside a hole that she couldn't easily get out of. In fact, the fall itself had managed to damage some of her joints, leaving her with sparks pouring out through her latex-clad body as her optics readjusted and focused on the pitch-black woman that was currently glaring down at her.

"Obsidious. Well, I've gotten myself into quite the sticky situation, haven't I?" The Baundo were known for being remarkably relaxed, even in the face of overwhelming danger. Especially when faced with one of the pillars that served to support Titan Industries and its continued success.

Obsidious nodded as she kneeled down and glared straight past the latex that covered up the robotic Ninja's face. "I will now ask you a few important questions. And depending on your answers, I may have to scrap that body of yours and harvest your thoughts from it. So I would like for you to answer them as honestly as you can. That is, if you prefer to avoid losing your autonomy more than you already have."

The Baundo Ninja processed what she was hearing, and all of the possible escape routes at her disposal were coming up negative. There was no way that she would be able to escape alive without any outside help.

"Sssssh. You don't need to worry about that silly little thing. You're supposed to be worrying about much more important things, my dear Obsidious..."

A soft trail of smoke started to waft through the air, causing Obsidious to take her eyes off the Baundo. "Another intruder. What is with the equipment being unable to pick up anybody today?" Obsidious muttered as she followed the trail, all while completely ignoring her previous prey.

The robotic ninja took the opportunity to quickly let her lips open far enough to let a bomb slip out from a cavity inside her mouth, the slimy and latex-clad bomb exploding and covering both her and the other latex-clad victim that she had bound before, making them both disappear once the substance vanished...

Obsidious would have to deal with that later. Right now, she had to focus on that smoke. Because if yet another one of those ninjas had managed to invade, this one would be the one to fall before she grabbed hold of any of Titan's assets...

"Show yourself. You may be meant to stay in the shadows and keep an eye on me and my allies, but you will gain nothing if you do not show yourself." Obsidious said, as her arm started to heat up. If nothing else, she was going to forcibly burn the ninja and make her talk that way. Whether or not the ninja was vulnerable to this kind of tactic was something that didn't cross her mind. She just wanted to let off some steam and return to her composed way of thinking at this point.

To her surprise, the Ninja did decide to show herself. All by spinning into view, as if she had been formed by the smoke that drifted through the air. A kimono-clad beauty, who carefully bowed her head as the kiseru in her hand continued to let that smoke of hers pour out. "My humblest apologies, Obsidious. I had to beckon you away from my enemy. We have a bit of an agreement, that as much as we want to take care of one another and claim our island as our own, we are not to allow harm to the other clans while we're off the island."

This ninja, whose gentle pink and white locks perfectly complemented the sakura-themed nature of her kimono, was part of the Miryoku Clan. While the Yama was focused on eliminating their enemies and the Baundo sabotaged them to ensure their victory, The Miryoku were Seductresses. They were more than happy to stand in plain sight and be observed at all times. Because they knew that they could use their sex appeal for something better. They knew that nobody would be able to look away from them. And through that, they were able to use them as pawns in their schemes...

Even Obsidious was not immune, as she stepped closer to the Miryoku Ninja with an almost glazed look in her eyes. "I appreciate the honesty. I very much do. I do not often deal with somebody that knows how to handle a conversation with somebody stronger than themselves. Nor one that holds all the cards in regards to their potential fate." She explained, all while her hand remained as warm as the magma that was bubbling around inside her core.

The Miryoku Ninja nodded as she softly put her hand on that very same fist, slowly letting the heat steam off. If she was anything close to normal, her hands would be burning away right now. But instead, the smoke that left her kiseru just started mixing together with the steam, enhancing her natural appeal as it tried to slip underneath her sensual kimono. "Indeed, indeed. You really know how to worm your way into hearts. But you're dealing with an expert Seductress, Obsidious. You've already fallen into the palm of my hand, from the moment that you started to inhale my smoke."

"You must be kidding. There's... There's no way..." Obsidious tried to rebuke the Seductress. But the more she started to speak, the more it felt like her body was trying to fight against her. That couldn't be right, there's no way that she should be feeling this way. And yet she was. And yet that was exactly what was happening.

Her body disobeyed her, and she fell into the arms of the Miryoku Ninja, who just smiled as she held her in her arms. "You're within my grasp, Obsidious. And you will serve our Sensei, as one of their devoted consorts. Just like me. Just like all the other Miryoku Ninja..." She mused, as she put the kiseru up to her lips.

Obsidious tried to struggle. But her body wasn't listening to her commands. Her mind wasn't doing much better either, as her thoughts were getting fogged up by all the smoke and the steam that was rising around her. And while she was busy with this internal dilemma, the smoke was squeezing around her, changing her form bit by bit...

Her deep black skin was given a tender white makeover as it was like she was covered in deep makeup, all while her rocky form shifted and lightened. The suit that made her look so formal shifted into a kimono, not unlike the one that the Miryoku Ninja wore. And once the makeup finished settling onto her figure, it looked like she was a geisha, rather than a composed businesswoman.

The Miryoku Ninja smiled as she softly kissed the transformed Obsidious, all while the smoke that had transformed her started to spin around them, taking them far, far away from the depths of Titan Industries.

Just like that, the three Ninja Clans had acquired brand new assets. Drones that could be turned into new golems, a Heroine who would make a wonderful and loyal mechanical member, and a businesswoman that knew how words worked who could easily learn much more about using her body right.

Titan Industries would suffer greatly from this setback, not to mention how much worse it would be when its assets came back to steal more from it...
