[Tokusatsu Themes, Corruption, Mummy TF, Roboticization]

"Heh. I guess it's really true. A sucker's born every minute."

Not everyone that lived in Mimoto was equally kind. As was the case for young Ichika Dekako, who was currently busy slurping on a lollipop as she counted the money that she had amassed over the course of the last few weeks.

It was easy to get this kind of money. After all, she had a killer body, and she knew exactly what people wanted. A little nudge here and there, and then she'd pull them in and make it hard for them to say no. And once she had them where she wanted them, blackmailing them became easier than ever. And it's not like she could get caught, because she already had measures to deal with that. Those two measures hanging from her chest had done a lot thus far...

"Dekaicchi."

Ichika's face went white as she heard a stern voice call out to her, using the nickname that she had gotten due to her rather ample bosom. All while she quickly stuffed the bills down her bosom to try and hide them, smiling as the glare from her glasses started to hide her eyes. "A-Ah. H-Himitsu-senpai. Good to see you, what's the matter?" She giggled nervously. Oh dear. How did the Student Council pick up on her little scheme? More importantly, why wasn't it that weak girl Saeko that ended up checking up on her? Why'd she have to get the President on her ass?

Saki was leveling a soft glare at the black-haired girl sitting on that lone table. She didn't look her age, much less like she belonged in the class. With a set of breasts that made her look like she was best suited for adult films, and a sensual body on top of all that... She was like a little rat that had snuck her way in. And that nickname, 'Dekaicchi', only served to make her position in the class feel all the more artificial. But she had to let go of her preconceptions, because she wasn't here to imply anything. No, there was a different reason why she was here. And it had nothing to do with that girl or the small tells that revealed her as a Tanuki, like the leaf-shaped brooch that kept her braid tied together.

"H-Himitsu-senpai?" Okay. This was weird. Usually, whenever the big bad President ended up scolding or apprehending a student, she was loud but firm. This quiet... It made her think that something was deeply wrong. Even a crooked girl like her that used her sex appeal to trap people in situations they couldn't escape from could tell that much. "Y-"

"Silence."

Saki's eyes turned to gold, and her command reverberated through Ichika. And all she could do was stare straight ahead at those beautiful golden eyes. Has Himitsu-senpai always had those? They were... Oh gosh, was she blushing? Was she on the receiving end of a charm? N-No, her heart wasn't beating that way. Oh, good grief. She had fallen for her through nothing more than a firm cry..? Now her dreams were going to be filled with Himitsu-senpai playing rough with her...

"I've been keeping an eye on your little operation, Dekaicchi." Hearing her use such an informal nickname when she was being so stern really didn't help, as Ichika could feel her heart pounding harder and harder. "And I'm willing to overlook it. If you cease operations from this moment onward... And you do me a small favor."

Ichika could only nod in response. Partly because she was too intimidated to try and fight back. Partly because of her newfound infatuation with the golden-eyed Student Council President, and partly because she always folded when faced with difficult stuff like this. It was how she had avoided getting into trouble for long.

Saki's expression turned into a smile. "Good. Then please. Put this ring on your ring finger." The blue-haired girl said, all while the sound of a hammer slamming against a slab of gold echoed through the air. And after Ichika blinked once more, a golden ring had found its way into the palm of her senpai's hand...

She took the ring, without thinking much about it because of how she had already started to submit to her senpai, and she let it fall onto her ring finger. Surely nothing bad could happen if she did something like that-

Almost instantly, the large-breasted girl let out a powerful moan as she was covered in gold. Swallowed by the energies of the ring, all while Saki smiled in response. Good. The Jõtai was working even better than before. With that in mind, she could potentially mass produce the rings and give every student one. All so they could be free... All so she could be their hero...

"Haaaahhh... Haaaaaaaaa! What power! What glory! What perfection!"

The golden glow squeezed tightly around the boob-tastic girl as it vanished, though it did leave several strips of gold behind that clung to her like ornate jewelry. Complimenting her now-tan skin tone and her golden hair, as she laughed from the very depths of her heart.

Ichika's 'disguise' had been undone. And the Tanuki now stood proud over her own body. A body that was emphasized and enhanced by egyptian-style jewelry and draped cloth. All which did very little to hide her modesty. Especially in regards to her extra large bosom, which had a single chain wrapped around the front to keep those mounds in place, with a small veil hanging from the chain to give her the appearance of modesty.

Combine this eroticism on full display with the eye tattoo that brought forth wisdom, and she looked less like a danger in disguise amongst her peers. No, now she looked like an Empress.. A Pharaoh..! No, a Goddess in her own right! All thanks to those breasts that hung from her chest. They were the source of her ambition, and the tool that she had used to get to where she now was. And now that she has become a Jõtaijin...

"Blessed be... For this day will mark the rise of Tithoth! The greatest and most beautiful Goddess in all of the land!" Tithoth, emphasis Tit, gave herself a new name. All while giggling as she turned towards the one that had made her this beautiful. "All for your sake, my dear."

Saki blinked. And cleared her throat. "You have a mission, Tithoth. Just carry it out. I'll watch over you to make sure that it succeeds." She muttered, all while walking away. She had much to do. All for the sake of getting what she wanted.

Tithoth giggled before stretching a little. Oh, her dearest Saki. She was playing hard to get. No worries... She'd fall for her breasts before long.

Just like every mortal in this accursed city would fall for her and worship her and her bosom, ohohoho...

"You look down, Mikai. What's up?"

Mikai stretched as she heard the voice of her inner partner, Chimera, echo out. All while the ancient predator took shape on the couch across from her, stretching as it looked like the two were closely mirrored. A fun visual, though only one she could see due to the nature of their bond.

"What's not up?" The sandy-blonde replied as she let her head hit the pillow with one of those Naturas on them. She had managed to dig out some of Hiro's free merch and she had to admit that the pillows with them printed on the front were really soft. Perfect for a slightly frustrating situation like this. "Tsubasa's still recovering, with Momiji doing her best to keep an eye on him. Agatha's busy doing a lot of work for the festival that's coming up, since it's hosted on her grounds. Yumeko's... Doing whatever Yumeko does, and Hiro..."

The girl looked a little hurt as she mentioned Hiro. Of course she'd feel hurt. The woman had put herself at great risk to save her from that Darkness thingy. While Seiryu was able to confirm that she ultimately wasn't hurt, that didn't really make her situation any better. If anything, it just kept making this worrying feeling pulse through her.

"You know." Chimera said as she got up from her couch, before taking a seat on the table in front of Mikai so the two had an easier time seeing eye to eye. "I think you being worried isn't the worst thing. Even if it kinda sucks that I have to see you like this when I really don't want to."

Mikai tilted her head right into her pillow. "Why's that?" She asked, genuinely not really able to see a benefit to it. It made her sad, after all. Why should she like being sad?

"Remember how long you were basically dead for, Mikai?"

...Ah. Yeah, she had remembered that. And as soon as she remembered that, she pouted. "So you're saying me being sad is a good thing because I didn't feel anything before, is that it, Chimera?!" She shouted, a little upset. Though it was more like a kid throwing a tantrum than anything actually excessive.

Chimera laughed at the girl's expense, especially as a pillow went flying through her. "Mmhm. Because I want to make sure that you won't slide back, Mikai." She said, crossing her legs as she rested the palms of her hands on her knees. "I couldn't hear you while you were inside of that thing that took your identity. But it felt like you had seen the darkness that you were stuck in back then. So... If that pain's what reminds you that you're not like that anymore, then I gotta say it's not the worst thing."

"You're terrible at this, Chimera." Mikai pouted. Before she erupted into a few giggles. "But I guess it's not wrong? I mean, I don't think I'd want to be back there. It was really creepy. And it made me feel all kinds of... Empty..."

Chimera nodded, before reaching forward and patting her lil' friend on the head. "That's why we gotta just push past it. You believed in Hiro, and she got you out. So we'll believe in her. And we'll be there for her when she needs us. Yeah? That sound good?"

"Mmhm." Mikai nodded. Before giggling a little again. "Didn't you say that you wanted me to be careful around her? You've really come to like her, Chimera!" Indeed, she remembered when she had been really wary. So cautious around that woman. And yet here she was. Wanting her to believe in her.

That was enough for Chimera to turn all sorts of embarrassed as her cheeks flushed red. "I-It's just because you seem so happy around her, okay? I don't want you to be unhappy, so I gotta make sure that she stays safe and-" She didn't even try to continue her terrible excuses, just letting out a mildly frustrated groan as she covered up her face. "You're the worst, Mikai. You act all depressed and then you turn around and tease me, awful!"

"It's because you gave me bad advice, I had to shoot back!" Mikai laughed. Laughter that was joined moments after by Chimera. Because as much as they could accidently hurt one another, they were of one mind. Perhaps even literally at times. Small arguments like these wouldn't keep them down.

Chimera sighed as she turned away from Mikai, all while her image started to vanish into light. "Try and find something to distract you with. She'll be back on her feet in time for the festival. I'm sure of it." She said with confidence, right before she completely vanished and left her dear friend to her own devices.

Mikai knew that she was right. But what could she do? There wasn't exactly a lot to do in Hiro's home whenever she wasn't there. Maybe she could wander around a bit. See if she could find any secrets? Not that she expected Hiro to keep many secrets from her at this point due to their state as partners.

She started looking all around the house. Trying to find something that might catch her interest. And sure, she found a lot of neat things, including lots of old props from different shows that she either loved or had been part of due to the various labels on them... But she also found a lot of things that she probably didn't want to show anybody. Like those character panties with all the different Natura on them. Why in the world did she buy those? ...On second thought she probably shouldn't try and think about it, because then she'd end up like Tsubasa did whenever he got really heated.

But eventually she found something that actually made her heart skip a beat. Not because it was beautiful. Nor because it made her fall in love or anything. It was more the astonishment of it all that led her to shed a lil' tear.

It was a shelf full of figurines. Which wasn't surprising in and of itself, because Hiro had a lot of those hidden around the house. No, it was the fact that all of those figurines represented her. And unlike the shelf that was in Hiro's bedroom which also had a couple of figurines of her form, this shelf was completely dedicated to every single form of Mimoto. There was even a prototype figurine based on Light Unicorn...

"She really cares that much." Mikai smiled. It was a really dorky display. But it showed that Hiro had grown. It showed her that despite starting off on terrible terms due to the older woman wanting to protect her and keep her out of harm's way, she now had great respect for her. Whether or not respecting her by getting a ton of figurines was a good idea on the other hand... Eeehhhhh... She liked the gesture and that was what was important.

As Mikai looked at all of those nice figurines, some of which had been hand painted to look like they had been through different battles, she suddenly felt her arm tremble. And it was due to a lil' call from one of her friends. She accepted the call, and a hologram that almost looked like her popped out.

Kimiko was calling her.

"Heeeey, Mikai. You wanna check out a place with me? There's something I really want to check out!"

---

"God... Damnit... Why can't they all just stop..."

The exhausted and pleasure-filled voice of one Kokoro Akaijin echoed out through the halls of Mimoto Highschool as she slowly made her way down them. All while she tightly grasped the railing to try and keep steady. Even though she could feel her heart smashing against her chest.

How long had it been since the last time she got transformed into a Pawn? A couple of weeks at most. And because of her stubborn minded approach to mental health, she still hadn't bothered trying to get help. She worked through it all on her own. Which was why she was currently experiencing withdrawal, and why her body was covered in that same latex that made the Pawns so easily identifiable.

At least she didn't have to wear a dome. If she wore a dome, she was absolutely certain that she would slip back into a mind of complete and utter servitude. For now she had to contend with the dominating voices trying to force her to wear one. All while she slowly headed to the library. If she was lucky, then she would end up with a bit of peace and quiet by going there. It always seemed to be so quiet in there, like another force swallowed up all the problems that the students had...

"Glory to Tithoth!"

Kokoro grit her teeth as the sound of enthusiastic cries like that gave her a headache. Great, somebody had gotten controlled again? She had to steer away. That way, she wouldn't get pulled in. That way... she...

Her eyes went dim for a moment as she started walking forward all on her own. But she wrestled control back moments later. No, she wasn't a minion. She was a proud girl who studied to get far in life. Even after being turned into a minion so many times, she had managed to keep up her grades. She wasn't going to falter now..!

"Ko-ko-ro! Are you trying to resist the pull of our Goddess?"

The familiar and horribly enthusiastic voice of a fellow minion echoed out. And she didn't even need to turn around to see who it was. There was only one person that could be that happy about being a minion. Yua Hokori, the other student who intentionally avoided treating her Pawn Syndrome. "Hokori... I take my eyes off you for a few seconds, and you go and get yourself turned into a Pawn again..!?"

"Ehehe. It's not minionhood, Kokoro. It's being one of her many subjects. She needs us. To worship her. To love her. To behold in her greatness. All so her bosom can weigh down on us and make sure we know exactly where we belong!"

Yua's voice rang out as she stepped in front of Kokoro, revealing the many golden bindings that wrapped around. She was less like a minion and more like a Mummy. Which probably explained why the dome around her head was covered in bandages. She didn't need to see. She just needed to have her Goddess' influence wrapped around her. That was all somebody like her needed...

Kokoro looked away the best she could. But one of her eyes couldn't stop peering towards Yua's bosom. It was bigger. Definitely bigger. And the bandages plus the latex really brought emphasis to both breasts. So naturally she couldn't look away for long. "Hokori, damnit..!"

"Ohohoho! Well, if it isn't the Valedictorian! You've done well to corner her, my dear Mammary."

Kokoro twitched. All while her eyes gravitated towards the girl that had appeared behind the Mummy. Or 'Mammary'. Would probably explain why her breasts were so enormous. Though not nearly as enormous as the ones that hung from that tanned ruler's chest.

Tithoth giggled as she looked at the redhead that was doing her best to struggle. All while she slowly pushed her hands up against her own chest. "Look, Akaijin. You don't need all of that knowledge to get ahead. You just need a pair of these. Just watch them closely. Watch them squish. Watch them bounce. Watch them wobble... And watch as your mind starts to get sucked inside..."

The redheaded Valedictorian certainly tried her best. But every word that slipped forth from Tithoth's lips drew her further and further inside. It was like she wasn't playing with her breasts, but rather playing with her brain. And as she continued to tease away at her breasts, the girl's expression gradually just shifted into one of bliss...

"Ohohoho... That's it. Just let your mind sink into your Goddess' breasts... You'll be a good Mammary that way. Thinking about nothing but breasts. Breasts, breasts, breasts!" Tithoth's words were hammering into Kokoro's head. All while the 'Goddess' continued to laugh, really letting the feeling of dominating others more directly get to her head.

Kokoro let out a loud moan as it almost felt like her mind went 'pop', and the latex that covered her body quickly rushed to cover up her head as a result. Golden bandages poured forth all across her body, wrapping around her to complete the look. All while she let out muffled moan after muffled moan as her chest inflated bit by bit to push against those bindings...

Until there was very little that separated her from looking the exact same as Yua. Two Mammaries with enthralling bosoms, though nowhere near as enthralling as the boobs that occupied their mind. And like good worshippers, both dropped onto their knees, with their hands firmly cupping their breasts, as they 'stared' towards their Goddess and her divine melons...

Tithoth laughed more and more. And yet she wasn't satisfied yet. It was delightful that she had managed to make all of those wonderful girls fall in love with her breasts. But there was still so much that she had to do before she was done with her conquest.

All for the sake of distracting her own 'Goddess' long enough so she could fall victim to her breasts too... Ohohohoho...

"So what was it that you wanted to check out, Kimiko?"

Mikai and Kimiko, bestest buddies beyond compare, were strolling down one of the streets that led deep into Mimoto. Into one of the districts that were distinctly more tightly packed, to the point where many people just overlooked a lot that happened in there. All because of how much was going on every single day.

The muddy-blonde giggled a little as she held her hands behind her back. "I had a little chat with Dr. Charlotta. About a few things from back when you were still all sorts of hard to reach." She explained, twirling as she skipped back and forth. "And I found out that somebody might have better memories of what happened back then. So I wanted to visit her! And bring you along too, because you probably want to know too, right?"

Oooooh. Riiiight. With all this Darkness talk, it kinda made sense that they'd try and look into what she had been like before everything went wrong. "You didn't have to go out of your way to help me, Kimiko. But thanks!" Mikai grinned from ear to ear. She really was her best friend if she did something like that without asking!

Kimiko giggled. "It's what best friends do for one another. Just like I'd hope you'd try and help me if I ended up in trouble!" She smiled just as much as her bestie. All while staying close to her, yet not close enough to hold hands. She still wanted her to have some space. After everything she had seen, it only made sense to do so.

"Mmhm, I'd do what I could. All to protect you and the others. Because if you get in trouble, then they'd end up in trouble too!" Mikai affirmed, before throwing her hands behind her head. "So who is it? Is it somebody I know? ...well okay I'd know them when I remember them but do I know them right now?"

"Nope. It's somebody close to somebody you knew back then, but I don't think you two met. She should know what we can do though." Kimiko replied, before she suddenly stopped in front of what looked like a simple shop. "Aaaand here we are. I think this is where she's staying?"

Mikai blinked and looked at the shop. And then she looked again. And then a third time, before confirming with Kimiko. "Kimiko? Isn't this an adult store? Like, full of all sorts of stuff that Tsubasa tries to keep hidden?" She actually didn't want to acknowledge that there were so many naughty things in her friend's home, but she had to. There was no way that she could avoid it, because he had been that perverted...

"Yeah. But it's where she lives. At least that's what Dr. Charlotta told me. Maybe it's some sort of cover? Or maybe she's a pervert too. Maybe we should go inside and check?" Kimiko giggled, not really giving the context of the shop much thought. It was just a shop, after all.

Mikai scratched the back of her head. Was it because she had known a pervy person in the past that she was so okay with Tsubasa's stuff... Or was this all just a misunderstanding? Honestly, she could see Dr. Charlotta giving Kimiko false info. She was the type of woman that would frame a prank as a learning experience. She'd know, she had sent her into the river once. And she had stood there for a few hours before she ended up calling her again. She actually sounded flustered over the fact she had gone through with all that...

"Hooooh? Who's the cute snacks standing in front of the ol' joint?"

Both girls heard a voice call out to them and turned in response, as each laid their eyes upon a true stranger. A ganguro, not unlike the girls that Mikai had mingled with prior, though with one key difference between her style and theirs.

She was a goth. You had all of the extra glitter and glitz that came with the dark tan and the cute tattoos, mixed in with the iconography of a goth. Skulls, a couple of shattered hearts, and a bunch of straps that really made her look like a finely-tuned goth. Even if the colors clashed a bit which meant that she still had a couple of kinks to iron out. Though given the short nature of her dress and the ample cleavage sticking out, it seemed like she probably indulged in the other kind of kinks...

"Hello! You wouldn't happen to know if the owner's home, would you?" Kimiko didn't really pay attention to her dress. She was much more interested in her goal. "I want to talk to her about my friend, Mikai. She knew her in the past, and I was wondering if she could tell us a lil' thing or two."

Mikai waved, all while the ganguro goth blinked a couple of times, revealing that she even had a couple of skulls carefully painted on her eyelids. Combine that with the mixture of thick blonde with black and white, and she was certainly striking enough to the point where Mikai couldn't take her eyes off her. Especially as she stepped closer and closer, her boots clacking against the ground. Hey, she had cute fluffy legwarmers too, maybe she could-

"You're Mikai? The same Mikai that helped out my lil' buddy MESU? That Mikai?" The gal asked, all while reaching forward and ruffling the girl's hair. "Y'know I thought you'd be taller with everything he told me, but I guess you've definitely got those cute qualities. Real cute gal, bet you'd look even cuter with a tan of your own."

The sandy-blonde blinked a couple of times, tilting her head. "Mesu..? I don't think I know a Mesu, does he have another name?" She asked, while trying her best not to giggle as she felt her hair getting ruffled. "C-Careful, I'm ticklish!" The giggling erupted into proper laughter, all while her hair just got completely messed up.

Kimiko was keeping an eye on the two, all while the gal reached into her extra long sock and pulled out a phone that totes matched her aesthetic. Both the case and the phone itself. "Lemme just get you a picture, aaaand..." She grinned just as she found the best one. "He sent me one with you and him too, so you deffo won't mistake it for somebody else."

The phone turned around, and indeed she didn't mistake him for anybody else. It was a lil' rainbow lad. The same rainbow lad that had led to her reconciling with Hiro. "Kouta! He didn't tell me he had a ganguro friend! Yeah, I helped him lots! What's up?" Ehe. It was good to know he had a friend. Not that she knew what kind of friend she was.

"Well, he wanted me to tell you a couple of things if I ever ended up seeing you. He's become a lil' busy bee, y'know? Working hard to make sure his Mom's proud of him? All thanks to you." The gal said, all while putting one finger on her bottom lip. Nice and plush and white to contrast the black upper lip's colors. "So he wanted me to thank you on his behalf. Aaaaaand... He wanted me to do one more thing."

Mikai would've tilted her head if she was fast enough. But the gal moved in for a kiss far before she had the chance, leaving one big black and white mark across the girl's lips, all while the sandy-blonde blushed. She didn't expect a kiss from a pretty lady like her. That, and she wasn't really prepared for one in the first place.

As Kimiko snickered in the background, the gal winked and giggled at the sight of the short gal's blush. "That's from him. A lil' kiss of gratitude. I'm sure it'd feel different if he had done it, but it'll have to do." She chimed, before the giggles erupted into a chuckle. "I completely forgot to tell you my name, didn't I? Well, how about we go with Ero for now? It's the same name I use whenever I chat with him, so you can always tell him that you met me if you see him."

Ero. What a nice girl. A little strange for sure, especially since it seemed like she confirmed what Kimiko was implying. But she was nice, and that was all that mattered to Mikai. Even as she did her best to try and suppress her blush.

"T-Thanks, Ero! I-I'll make sure to let him know if I see him! A-And I'll say that you're a good kisser too, since you two seem like good friends!" Mikai's eyes were spinning. All because of what this nice girl had done. It was actually cute to see her caught this much off guard...

Ero nodded, before looking at Kimiko. "Well, if it's to help a friend of a friend, then I'll gladly try and get a hold of her. You wanna wait and chat about what you need to hear from her, or do you two need to be anywhere soon? Can't guarantee she'll be here that quickly."

"Oh, I can wait. We've got some time to chat. But Mikai's got somewhere to be. Isn't that right, Mikai?" Kimiko said, all while smiling from ear to ear. Eh? Did she? She didn't remember making any other plans...

Just then, Mikai's bracelet started vibrating once more. And a hologram of Yumeko popped up, nervously smiling a little. "Uuuuhhhh... Mikai? We've got a situation at school. It's another Jõtaijin, and... Well, I think it's best if you just get here quickly. I'm not sure how long it'll take before she gets to be a bigger problem, but let's just say she's already bigger than she should be."

Alright, Mikai didn't understand any of that. But what she did understand was that Yumeko needed help. "Sorry, Kimiko! Ero! I'll be back later, don't wait for me!" She said, running off as quickly as she could. All while crying out "HENSHIN!" as she transformed into Mimoto, so she could get back to school faster!

"Riiiight. Mikai's also that Jõtaider gal. Gotta say, she's got cute tastes in colors too." Ero mused, before turning her attention to Kimiko. "Can't say I care for your colors though, gotta be honest." Her voice immediately turned a lil' sour once the girl had gone away. "I'll try and get in contact with her. But you'd better leave. She's going to be peeved when she returns, and if he returns before her, then..."

Kimiko nodded. Of course. Well, it's not like she didn't have time to wait. "Just let her know I'd like to meet her." She said, before heading off herself. Helping Mikai was a priority, but she was patient. Besides, there was a festival, and she needed to get some preparations done for that too!

Ero watched as the muddy-haired girl left, before stretching a bit and heading into the shop. All while locking the door behind her and pulling out her phone to make a call.

"Gotta hope she picks up. Been a while since she actually bothered to talk to me..."

---

Getting to Mimoto Highschool wasn't hard. Mikai was more than used to her transformed self at this point, so abusing the laws of physics to make her go faster was fair game. Honestly she should try and make a map of Mimoto at some point, just so she could figure out what paths were easier to take.

No, it was what she saw when she finally arrived at the school that gave her pause. Because instead of sometime more... Mundane or even frightening, she saw a massive pair of balloon boobies hanging off the side of the school, while a boob-shaped set of lights were pointed at the rooftop, focused on a single golden girl and her excessive rack. She looked a lil' familiar, but she definitely hadn't met her yet.

"Praise me, Mammaries! Praise me! Revere me! Say the name of your Goddess, Tithoth!"

"TITHOTH! TITHOTH! TITHOTH!"

Yep, things were definitely wack. Good thing Mikai had gone into her wind form so she could actually fly over the crowd of... Big titty mummies? Was this one of C... Okay, no, couldn't be Cobra's doing. They'd be playing with bulges instead. Which... Might've actually been a bit preferred? The way they all bounced in unison and played with their breasts was really distracting, even from all the way up in the air.

Mikai shrugged her shoulders and came crashing down to the roof, sending a powerful burst of wind all across the school grounds. Knocking down more than a couple of mummies in the process and letting her skip past the part where she had to beat up a ton of mooks. That had kinda run its course at this point, especially when it concerned simple Jõtajin.

Tithoth blinked as she felt her tits bounce way too much, before turning towards the winged heroine. "Ohoho! A hero's come to be my subject! Wonderful! Now, won't you be a good girl and look into these? I'm sure we can come to a nice agreement, where you're under my heel as you can't stop thinking about these!" She wasn't even phased by the girl trying to get in her way. She just let her breasts bounce and bounce and wobble and jiggle in the same mesmerizing way as always. All to pull in the girl's mind and leave her a thrall.

Mimoto didn't really pay attention to those breasts. Not because they weren't alluring, but because she wasn't pulled in by them. It'd take a lot more to make her distracted due to boobies. She knew better than to fall for those things. "You're gonna have to try harder if you want to distract me!" She shouted as she flapped her wings once, sending feathers flying forth like a storm of projectiles. "APEX METEOR!"

"G-Goddess, save me!" Tithoth was quick to shift from confidence to pure fear. She couldn't beat somebody that she couldn't enthrall. So she prayed for her dear Goddess. Hoping that she would answer her cries. Hoping that she would be there to save her when she needed her most..!

Just as the feathers were about to smash into Tithoth, a dark barrier rose. One that blocked every single projectile and caused them to dissolve into golden dust. Willpower completely drained from each of them. Which could only mean one thing...

Mimoto looked to the skies, and she saw a golden glint. Just quick enough for her to cry out "CHOU HENSHIN!" And transform from Blast Eagle into Earth Ursa, before delivering a single strike skyward. Right as the enemy was about to crash down on her!

Kanzei grit her teeth underneath her helmet as her weapon, currently transformed into a hammer to try and add more weight to her strike, was countered by the blow thrown out. Had she learned how to fight her? No, she shouldn't be able to. There was no way that somebody like her could grow so quickly. Especially not when she was all alone.

"Kanzei! I don't want to fight you right now!" Mimoto shouted, as her earthy armor shattered and let the flames of Flame Lion cover her once more. All while she gathered those very same flames in the palm of her hand. She didn't have time for this fight, so she was going to make sure that it ended quickly. "So take this! KING'S ERUPTION!"

Her flames exploded outward in a large radius, though it didn't do any true damage to Kanzei as her body was covered in a thick dark barrier, one that absorbed the flames and turned them into dust just like the feathers before them. All while the egyptian-themed Jõtaider landed besides her Jõtaijin, with Tithoth trembling and gasping as she watched her fight.

"If you do not wish to fight, then you will stand down and SUBMIT!" Despite the eager minion beside her, Kanzei did not pay attention to her. Her attention was exclusively reserved for Mimoto and Mimoto alone. It was her sole goal to rip her apart and subject her to her will. To make her understand that she should be the only heroine!

"I won't!" Mimoto shouted as the light started to grow from her chest. "But you saw those things we fought against! You've probably heard about the attack on Atlas Corp! We have a bigger enemy! Can't we stop this and focus on them?!" If that Luna Descent stuff was really as bad as Seiryu and the others had said it was, then she didn't want another one to happen when she was distracted with fighting others.

Before that light had any time to truly grow and let Mimoto transform, the sound of a hammer slamming against gold rang out. And yet again, Kanzei's weapon changed. This time from a hammer to a blade on a chain, as that very blade was tossed straight at Mimoto's chest. Thanks to the nature of her transformation, a single strike before it finished would leave her unable to enter it. And indeed, she wasn't ready to block this attack, leaving Mimoto to be stabbed and yanked closer, while the darkness gathered in Kanzei's fist.

"There will only be one, Mimoto! AND THAT WILL BE ME!" Kanzei shouted as she slammed her fist straight into the young heroine's chest, with the darkness exploding in the same violent manner as the King's Eruption. Just with infinitely more power and infinitely more erosion of willpower, leaving Mimoto to scream as she felt like she was being drained...

Tithoth gasped and panted as she watched her Goddess defend her like her life depended on it. Ahhh... She could just watch her for eons. All while she prayed for her continued success. "Pray for her, my subjects! Grasp your breasts and bring her the faith of the Mammaries!" Even if she couldn't fight, she could at least bring support!

Kanzei stepped back as the darkness was sucked into her arm. All while she glared down at the girl with the cracked armor. It hadn't been broken yet. Surprising, considering how much power she poured into that blow. "Why don't you just give up? You know you can't beat me in a straight fight."

"You don't know that..." Mimoto coughed as part of her faceplate shattered, revealing Mikai's eye behind it. And for a single second, it seemed to glow gold. "You don't know that!" Her voice brimmed with anger. A stark contrast from normal, as she forced herself to get back up. All while she shouted from the depths of her heart. "CHOU HENSHIN!"

The air turned cold as the rest of Mimoto's armor shattered, before repairing through the sheets of ice that formed on her cooling body. Frost Wolf took Flame Lion's place, all while claws shifted forward so she was ready to strike. Even if her body was aching, she wasn't going to let Kanzei win. She just wasn't! Because if she did, then she'd be letting Hiro down!

Kanzei took another step back as the hammer of her mind rang out, transforming her weapon back into a cane. All while her own eyes turned gold underneath her helmet. The girl was putting more of her own willpower into the Jõtai. Which was how she was able to repair her armor despite the damage it had sustained. And yet this wouldn't last. If she kept trying, then she would just end up with a broken and hopeless will that wouldn't be able to do a thing. Just hopelessly residing inside an empty body. That's what would happen if she overdid it...

They were enemies. Unable to see eye to eye, even if Mimoto wanted to reach out and help. And the winner would be the one that ended up landing a blow that would disable the other. That was the only path forward. Unless they were disabled, they would just keep coming back up. Kanzei because of her fury, and Mimoto because of her determination. So the only thing that could stop them...

"FINALLY! A GOOD FIGHT, AND AN AUDIENCE! I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS!"

Was something completely unrelated to their battle. The two armored girls heard the booming voice echo out across the plains. All while they looked up and saw a big black hole forming in the sky. One that immediately made the two tremble, though not out of fear. Rather, the tremble was caused by what they both remembered...

"Is it starting again..!?"

"T-That hole... That's... That was back then, wasn't it?"

Kanzei was furious. And Mimoto lost her concentration and will for just a moment. Not long enough to leave her vulnerable, though Kanzei didn't let the opportunity slip her by as she dashed toward her and tried to get a strike in. Only through Mimoto's trained instincts was she able to block the strike, while still being able to focus on the hole above.

Thankfully for both of them, what descended from the skies was not a Luna. No, it was a large mechanical dragonoid. Dark red with plenty of blue lights serving to illuminate his dark form. Combine that with his long yellow energy cape as he floated down towards the roof, and he seemed in a much different class from the other invaders from the Darkness. Even the Lunas didn't compare, as he immediately exuded a special kind of presence...

Tithoth looked towards the massive mechanoid, and she felt something pouring through her. Something that made her collapse onto her knees. W-What was going on? She was focused on praying to her Goddess, so why was something trying to force its way into her? Why couldn't she think? Why couldn't she breathe? Why couldn't... she... Why..? Why..?

She wasn't the only one that ended up like this. In one fell swoop, the collective mass of Mammaries on the ground fell onto their knees, all of them letting out defeated and pained moans as they felt the same sort of captivating presence lock away their functions. All while the dragonoid continued to laugh until he finally landed...

As soon as he landed, the pressure that the other girls had felt quickly started to spread through Kanzei as well, as she was forced onto her knees. She didn't understand. What was going through her!? WHO WAS HE!? There were so many questions, and she had absolutely no answers...

Mimoto, on the other hand... Seemed completely fine. A little confused at the strange development, but not enough to stop her from reaching across her heart as light started to shine. "Who are you? You're with those Darkness guys, aren't you?" She asked, all while trying her best to see if she could spot anything that could give her an advantage.

"With the Darkness? That's underselling my importance, little one!" The dragonoid shouted as he laughed once more. "I am Overlord Helheim! I am a Herald of the Darkness, a Prime amongst its numbers! And I have come for a good battle!" He shouted, all while pointing his left hand towards her. Though it seemed to be more of a stump, at least until a bright blue hard-light blade formed at the tip of his arm. "Heroine! Give me your name, so I may show respect for the next opponent to fall before me!"

"Mimoto! Jõtaider Mimoto! I won't be falling, not yet!" Mimoto shouted as she pulled her Unicorn Blade from her chest, all while shouting "CHOU HENSHIN!" to transform from Flame Lion to Light Unicorn. Since Kanzei was out of the picture, she could transform without much of an issue. She just had to make sure that she wasn't going to end up losing her focus!

Kanzei struggled against the pressure inside her. All while she looked towards Helheim, her body trembling with every passing moment. She didn't want to acknowledge him as anything other than a monster that interrupted her battle with Mimoto. But the longer she looked at him, the more the pressure forced her to acknowledge him as Overlord. As... Mast... No, he was not her Master!

Helheim laughed as he watched the golden girl struggle in the background, all while letting his other hand stay open as a wicked blue energy circulated within. "Your fellow heroine seems to be unable to handle my Virus. No matter. As long as I can have one good fight, this will be a worthwhile conquest!"

"I don't care what you mean, you just have to disappear!" Mimoto shouted as she poured her power into her blade while dashing forward. "UNICORN BEGINNING!" Her scream echoed out as the blade grew bigger and bigger. She wasn't about to drag this battle out any further. Not just because she wasn't in the mood for another fighter, especially one from the Darkness... But because Kanzei was down. And even if they were enemies, she didn't deserve to fall like this!

Her enlarged blade met Helheim's, as the two clashed and sparks of pure will flew all over the place. All while he casually stepped forward, not breaking a sweat in the slightest. "You really are a curious sort, heroine! You haven't been affected by my virus, and yet you don't seem to provide the challenge that I'm seeking! Perhaps I should inject it directly into you!"

"I'm not taking any of your stuff into my body!" Mimoto shouted as she poured more power into the blade. If she couldn't swing through his sword, then she could at least deliver some damage. "UNICORN ENDING!" She screamed, as she let that power explode. Sending her flying off the edge of the building due to her close proximity to the blade, while hopefully delivering some damage to the red mechanoid..!

Her landing wasn't exactly graceful or dignified. But it did the job, especially as she nearly slammed straight into a crowd of disabled Mammaries. The ones that she did hit ended up cushioning her fall, allowing her to get up despite the pain rushing through her. Doing something that reckless when she was in a form that really relied on her keeping her focus was... Well, it wasn't great. But at least-

"Hahaha! Ahahahahaha! You really are a fool, Mimoto!"

Helheim's laughter echoed out as he landed on the ground as well. He showed no true sign of damage. All that energy, and yet he was perfectly fine. In fact, he could just casually wander towards the heroine with his blade pointed toward her. "It takes much more than a simple explosion to halt the Overlord's approach! And you should've looked before you leapt! Now you're close to all these weaklings! The ones that could not fight against my virus and grow stronger!"

Moans echoed around Mimoto as she got back up, and she watched as every single one of the mummy-themed booby Pawns trembled and mutated. Gone was the latex, replaced with sleek red metal. Gone was the proper uniformity of their latex suits, replaced with what seemed to be scales and several draconic features. And most importantly, gone were the domes that served to keep their identities hidden... Replaced with mechanical heads that made them look like kobolds, which was exactly what they had become.

Each of the Pawns, thanks to this 'virus', had been turned into a robotic kobold. Each of them letting out needy yips and other dangerous noises as they each prepared themselves to strike at the girl that faced off against their Master. All of them..!

"Those that cannot fight against my Virus become part of my horde! And the only way to restore them to normal is to prove yourself stronger than me! So come, Mimoto! Fight a futile fight! You will not win, as you cannot defeat me! And you cannot save them, as each that you try to defeat will be destroyed as soon as they lose power!" Overlord Helheim laid out the way that he had trapped the girl in an unwinnable state. Mass of minions on one side, and his impenetrable ass on the other... Not to mention any other tricks he might be keeping in his sleeve.

Kanzei shambled towards the edge of the roof. All while she tried to fight back against the virus inside her. It was making it harder and harder to think. Harder and harder to focus on anything but the massive overlord... Her mas- not her master, no matter what she wasn't going to acknowledge him as her master. He was the enemy... He was... the enemy..!

Mimoto would've focused on the Overlord thanks to her situation at hand. But thanks to the sight of her enemy on the edge of the roof, her eyes widened. And instead of focusing on him, she stabbed her blade into her body as she shouted from the depths of her heart. "CHOU HENSHIN!"

Wings sprouted from the heroine's back as she used the debilitating light of her transformation to temporarily stun the Overlord. All so she could transform back into Blast Eagle and fly towards the girl that was about to fall off the edge of the building..!

Thanks to her quick thinking, and the lack of control within Kanzei's body, Mimoto was just in time to catch her before she hit the ground. Instead, the two hit the wall and slid down until they hit the ground that way, with the amount of damage they both sustained being much lower than it should've been.

"Don't... touch... me..!" Kanzei cried out as she struggled against the virus. She could overcome it. She could fight back, she didn't need help from the girl she hated more than anything else..!

"No! I'm helping you, I'm reaching out!" Mimoto shouted in turn, before looking towards the approaching Overlord. He was taking his sweet time. Like a predator playing with his prey. "Even if you don't want the help, I'm doing it because I want to. Take it or leave it!"

With that, she dropped her enemy as the flames poured forth from her body once more. Right back to Flame Lion. because she wanted to, but rather because of the stress of changing forms so often. She had to be careful. She probably didn't have much more juice in her...

"Two heroines. Ripe for the taking." Helheim said as he dragged the tip of his blade along the ground. All while laughing like the battle-crazed maniac that he was. "You shouldn't help her, Mimoto. She's falling prey to my virus. Just like many heroines from other worlds have in the past. I'm sure that the two heroines that protected this world in the past, when the Lunar Prime was here, would fall to this virus just the same! Truly, this world can't be a challenge! Especially if all they have is you!"

The reference to the heroines of the past flew past Mikai's head, as she still didn't have many memories of the time back then. But it didn't slip by Saki. No. She remembered those times vividly. The golden armor that had saved her. Right after she saw that frightful sight. Right after... right after..!

"You... YOU! YOOOOOOUUUUU!" Kanzei shouted as darkness poured forth from her body, in the form of a giant dark hand crushing a mechanical virus. And little by little, the golden-armored girl stood tall. With nary a spec of damage on her body. Not a single element of her fight remained. All that stood there was a determined girl, with darkness pouring forth from every limb. "YOU WILL PAY FOR WHAT YOU'VE DONE! YOU WILL PAAAAAAAY!"

Mimoto had seen Kanzei angry. But this was a new kind of fury. A fury that was aimed at those that deserved it. "Kanzei..! Don't lose yourself, you don't know what he can do!" She said she didn't want the help. Nor the concern. But she was going to give it to her. Because still, she didn't want to lose her to an enemy like that.

"Ahahaha! So be it!" Helheim shouted, all while his blade retracted and his cape turned into a pair of bright orange wings that were backed up by the jets that the wings had sprouted from. "A single stroke will decide this battle! That is the mercy I grant to the two of you, Heroines!" It seemed like her ability to fight past and crush the virus that he produced had given him respect for Kanzei, even if he didn't know her name properly yet. All he needed now was a proper satisfying ending, as the jets in his shoulders started to wind up as well.

Kanzei glared at Mimoto, before she let out one potent scream of fury. "MIMOTO! JUST THIS ONCE! YOU GET YOUR WISH!" Even in this angry state, her mind was clear. She would not stop at anything to kill this dragonoid. Even being allied with the girl she hated the most!

Mimoto nodded, as she poured all of her energy into her leg. All while she watched the oversized dragonoid speed towards them with the intensity of a jet. They had one shot. One single opportunity..!

"SAY GOODBYE TO YOUR LIVES, HEROINES!"

And it didn't seem like they would have the chance, as the Overlord's blade popped out once more as he sped straight towards them. Fully intending on killing both of them and adding them to his collection.

"DIVINE BIND!"

Or at least, he would've. If not for the darkness pouring off Kanzei and into the ground, only to erupt in the form of several chains that quickly dug into the oversized monstrosity's body. Not for long, as each of the chains individually started to snap in response to his body immediately thrashing around. But it was that moment that the two needed.

"DIVINE JUDGMENT!" "KING'S FLAME!"

Both Kanzei and Mimoto's voices echoed out as they leapt into the air. Darkness and Flames intermingling as they whirled together into the form of a drill. A powerful drill that shot straight forward. Straight through the Overlord, leaving him with a big burning hole where his heart should be.

Helheim let out another laughter as he was confronted with a hole where his heart was supposed to be. And he just laughed. "WELL DONE, HEROINES! THIS WILL MARK THE PROPER BEGINNING OF OUR INVASION! BE WARNED, BE READY! AND MOST IMPORTANTLY, GET READY TO FIGHT ME ONCE AGAIN!" With his final words echoing out, the overlord exploded in a flash of colors. Leaving absolutely nothing behind.

And as he vanished, each and every single one of the mummies that had been converted were returned to normal... And from there, back to human. All so they could collapse in one big mass, exhausted by having their tits used as a focal point. Exhausted, just like the two girls that weren't supposed to work together...

"Haaah... S-See... See what happens when we work together, instead of against each other..?" Mimoto asked... And the answer she got in return was a cane that just narrowly missed her head. "Guess not, aha..."

Kanzei glared from beneath her helmet. Before slowly letting the darkness that she had used to attack swallow her. "This time, I'll leave you be. But this is the first and last time we work together. REMEMBER THAT, MIMOTO!" She shouted as she vanished into the darkness, clearly upset over having gone against her principles.

Mimoto just let out a laugh as she let her transformation vanish, returning Mikai back to normal. She really was difficult to get through to. But it seemed like as long as she could force her to focus on an opponent that they both wanted to defeat, then they could work together...

Between Kanzei showing weakness, this new Darkness invading and seemingly perishing, and living up to Hiro's hopes, Mikai certainly had her work cut out for her. But there was just one thing that kept her going...

Hiro's smile. Hiro's smile, as well as the smiles of all her friends. They were what kept her fighting. As long as she could remember their happiness, she would break down anything that threatened them. Whether it was an alien, or something much more dangerous!

And she could cherish them as much as she'd like in a week. The Mimoto Festival was coming up, after all!

"You sure took your sweet time, buddy. Did you bring the goods?"

Ero was standing in the far back of the building, all while holding open a door for a young man that was a little bigger than she was. A young man with a suitcase in hand, one that was currently silently humming.

"I did." The youth said as he lugged the suitcase over to a table...

Before slamming the knocked-out form of one Tithoth onto the surface instead. All with clear intent to harm in his eyes. "I brought her. Even if she should be dead like the rest of those Monster scum." He muttered in a vile tone, before turning to Ero. "Take her Jõtai factor and do what you need to. Before I decide to change my mind and finish her off."

Ero just rolled her eyes. While she could scold him and remind him who he was working with and what they were working towards, she didn't really bother at this point. He was such an abrasive young man, who never truly listened to the advice that was given to him. But at least he got the job done. She couldn't complain there.

Now came the hard part. Hopefully the extracted stuff would be real cute this time!
