[Minionization, Tokusatsu Themes]

"Yua! You've been in there for a week! Come on out, you're not skipping another day of school!"

The ruby-shaded stage girl and responsible older sibling in the Hokori household, Akemi, knocked on her younger sister's door as she tried to get her to come out of her room. She had been in there for way too long. And this time it wasn't because she was depressed or anything. She knew that Yua had a certain complex, she was far too acquainted with the specifics, but that didn't mean that every time she shut herself away that she was dealing with it.

"Ehehehehe... Siiiiissss... Come on innnnn..."

Yua's voice echoed from within as the door suddenly opened, with smoke billowing out as a pair of leery green eyes peered out at her. Not natural green either, it was a shiny latex green... Which probably meant that something was dangerously wrong.

Akemi drew a rapier from her palm, assuming the role of a knight about to strike down evil. The benefit of being a former Jõtaijin, allowing her to assume such roles at the drop of a hat. "Yua. Don't try anything. I won't hesitate to hurt you if it's for your own good." She wasn't about to hurt her seriously. But she wasn't about to let her do something that could cause problems for people. She had already been on the giving end of that, and she didn't want to see her sister end up like that either.

"Eheheheheh... You can't hurt people that love to be hurt..." Yua chimed as she stepped into the light. All while revealing her body completely covered in green latex, with a latex crown resting on her head. "Just like you can't make me stop, Sis. But that's okaaaaay... You'll help me. I know you will..."

Akemi tried to strike at her sister. But the rapier just sank into the green latex, leaving her vulnerable to Yua pulling her close. Not so she could absorb her, but so she could plant a single kiss on her cheek. A kiss that left a latex mark on her cheek, and immediately sent submissive waves through the young woman's body...

She wanted to... Serve... Obey... Worship... Do anything that her Queen wanted her to do. So much so that Akemi couldn't stop herself from falling onto one knee, her body getting swallowed by green latex as she smiled from ear to ear in a completely horny manner, just like the girl that had kissed her.

"My Queen..." Akemi muttered, her own eyes turning bright latex green as she put her arm over her chest. "How may this Pawn serve her Queen..?"

Yua giggled as she rubbed her hands together. She had just woken up earlier, and now she felt like she could do anything. It wasn't hard to tell that the Pawn Syndrome that she had been putting off treatment for had suddenly burst within her. She was horny, she wasn't stupid. But that horniness also made her understand exactly what a Pawn Queen like her should do...

"Let's have a bit of fun at school, my Pawn..."

---

Mikai was lying in her bed. Laying in darkness. Pure, unrelenting, endless darkness. It was so quiet. So sprawling. She wanted it to go away. She didn't want to be lonely. Where was Chimera..? Where was she..?

"She's not here, Mikai."

Kimiko was there. Laying beside her. Wrapping her arms around her and slowly nuzzling her back. It was warm. But it was the warmth that repelled everything else. It was the kind of warmth that made her feel a little sick. But it was better than the cold of the darkness around her.

"You don't need her, Mikai. You have everything you need already. And you're more than strong enough to deal with anything that comes your way. So you don't need to worry about the other friendships. Just let them fall apart... Just do that for me, okay?"

Mikai slowly nodded. Slowly let the words sink in. All while she continued to soak in the darkne-

"And up you go!"

Mikai's eyes suddenly shot open as she was tossed off the bed, spinning several times in mid air before she crashed against the floor, courtesy of her very own Mom. "M-Mom..? What was I doing..?" She muttered, her mind still spinning a little. Okay, maybe it was spinning a lot. She really wasn't prepared to suddenly get launched out of bed like that.

Kaoru laughed a little, before opening all the blinds and letting the bright winter sun beam on in. "There's no snow outside, Mikai. I know you've got a hard job to do, working with Hiro and everything. But that doesn't mean that you can skip out on school when there's still plenty of time to learn." She said, reaching down and offering a hand to her sweet daughter. "Here. I'll make you some breakfast, then I'll get you sent off."

The young daughter took her Mom's hand and helped herself up, a little bit of worry filling her heart. Should she tell her Mom... Yes, yes she should. There was literally no way around it. If she didn't let her Mom know about her troubles, she'd tell her that she was very disappointed. And she didn't want to hear that from her Mom. Not when she knew that she had hurt so much from her keeping secrets last time.

As the two walked downstairs, and Mikai got seated at the dinner table, she let the obvious question slowly roll through her mind. And then she just decided to go for it, taking a deep breath just to psyche herself up. "Mom, I... What would you do if you started to drift away from your friends?"

Kaoru let the thought drift on her mind a bit while she made some toast for her daughter, before turning towards her and smiling. "You've got problems with your friends? Is that it, Mikai? I'm glad you asked, but I can't say I know your friends very well." She explained, before chuckling a little. "I mean, you've got a good set of friends. A cute nerd, a responsible student president, a rich girl with a strong sense of justice... And Yumeko. And so many more at school too, right?"

"Mmhm. They're all my precious friends. I just... I just don't think I'm as close to them as I thought I really was." Mikai explained, looking down at the cup of orange juice that her Mom had poured her. "And I'm just not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing. I don't know what means a friend's a good friend or not. So... I was wondering what you thought."

"A friend's a friend." Kaoru said, nodding softly. "You know how many people I've met and befriended at random? I don't keep in close contact with them, but they show up when they've got the opportunity and I ask. So even if you're not as close with everyone as you think you are, that's okay. They probably still like you, and would happily come by if you asked."

Mikai blinked a few times, before slowly letting her imagination work its magic. "So... You did a lot of friendmaking. Just like me?" it wasn't impossible to imagine, but with how her Mom preferred to stay at home whenever possible, she didn't seem like that kind of social type.

"Mmhm. And that's how I met your Dad. Michael was a real treat too. Would you believe I met him at complete random, and we basically just fell in love at first sight?" Her Mom explained, giggling a little as a blush worked its way onto her cheeks. "He was a complete scrub. But he never gave up. He tried and tried and tried. And eventually, I let him think he had won... And then I swept him another ten times before I asked him out for dinner. And the rest, well, that's another story."

The young daughter listened and chuckled a little. It's not often that she actually got to hear about Mom's relationship with her Dad. Mostly because Dad was always overseas, and that meant that the two never really got to interact. But they very clearly still loved one another. Otherwise Mom wouldn't talk about him so fondly.

"Well, I'll try and think about my friends that way, Mom. Thanks." Mikai said, downing her toast in a matter of seconds before getting off her chair and running out the door. "If Hiro calls, tell her that I'm at school! And tell her that I hope her idol friend recovers quickly!"

Idol friend. Hiro had mentioned something about her daughter ending up in a bit of a bad state of mind due to an encounter involving an idol. She didn't mention that the idol was her friend. Well, Hiro was probably the kind of woman that kept her secrets. But that just made the older woman's eyes gleam a little.

It was time to do a little winter cleaning around the Fukano residence. Both for the sake of making sure her daughter was living in adequate conditions... And for the sake of finding out about her partner.

Couldn't hurt to learn a few of that skunk woman's secrets.

"Why does everything keep going wrong!?"

Tsubasa was not having a good day. He wasn't having a good month. Maybe even a bad year. No, wait, there had been good things. But still, he wasn't having a great time. And it was all because he chose to head to school immediately instead of lagging a little behind...

And what happened when he arrived? Of course, another Pawn flood! Why'd there have to be so many Pawns!? And to make matters worse, these ones didn't even have domes! He recognized a lot of those pawns too, they were from the grade under him. So that meant that he saw a lot of his Kouhai. At least none of them seemed to recognize him, but that didn't make things any better!

"Please just go away, please just go away..!" Tsubasa prayed as he hid behind a wall, all while those green pawns shambled towards his hiding spot. He had to stay there. Otherwise... Baaad things... might... happen. Honestly, they'd probably do things to him even if he stayed there. But what was he supposed to do..!?

It only got worse for him as one of those latex-green Pawns rounded the corner, the horny looking girl giggling as she reached for him. All for the sake of giving him a nice kiss on the cheek-

"Pawn scum!"

The pawn went flying the moment it got hit by a flaming bullet, courtesy of a somewhat familiar looking young man wearing a violent red coat and a bunch of armor that made him look vaguely like a Jõtaider. Upon second glance, Tsubasa felt his heart sink. Oh, great. Straight from the pan and into the fire, it was that JõtaiKiller that had stolen the Jõtai factor from his mis- Idolizer. Even though she wasn't grievously harmed, she was still left hospitalized after what he did. So being saved by him was terrible!

"What are you looking at?" Hayato glared at the boy beside him, spinning his firearms to reload them before putting his hand up to his ear. "Ero! Where in the world is the Jõtaijin that's behind this outbreak!?" He shouted, hoping to get his info quickly before he'd mow through a bunch of lesser minions...

"Still trying to find them! Keep mowing them down, just don't hurt them too badly!" Ero's voice echoed over the comms, though it was hard to hear her due to the gunfire drowning out her voice. Especially as Hayato unleashed his chainguns...

Tsubasa watched as the young man mowed through his enemies with pure violent conviction. And he also watched as each of those Pawns were left rather injured. The healing abilities of their suits had been drastically diminished, leaving them all... Not in critical condition, by a long shot, but definitely hurt to the point where they were all making obvious groans of discomfort.

...He had to do something. So he pulled out his phone and hoped that she'd pick up.

---

Well, Mom had been proven right. When her friends needed her, they would call for her. And as a friend should do, she was hurrying onto the scene. All so she could try and save Tsubasa, and the others, from getting ruined any further by the Pawns that were swarming through the halls...

And since she was currently busy flying through the air to try and get there, a thought reached her mind. Come to think of it... She was due for a visit with D'Or, wasn't she? Cobra had promised her... And since she still had the rough idea of how to contact him...

Using the communicator on her wrist, the one that let her connect to the others in her club, she tried to proverbially call King Cobra. Hopefully he'd pick up...

"You've reached King Cobra, the sexiest snake in the entire city." Cobra's tone echoed in her mind, before he cleared his throat. "So, about that meeting... We're gonna have to postpone it a bit, alright? Sorry that I didn't get back to you, but the boss has been kinda busy. So busy that she hasn't even been in the base for the last few weeks."

Well, he knew what she was trying to ask for. Then again, he was probably just hiding it and waiting for a chance to tell her when she reached out. "How about you help me with something else then, Cobra? Why are there a horde of green pawns at the school!?"

Cobra was about to answer, before pausing and slowly gasping. "Oh. Oooooh no. That's not our doing, and we don't have any Jõtaijin on loose at the moment. So that means a Pawn Syndrome case might've just spiraled out of control!"

"A what?" Mikai didn't know what Cobra was talking about. What she did know was that it sounded bad. Pretty bad. So bad that she almost ended up skidding to a halt in mid air, just so she could focus on what he was trying to tell her...

"Pawn Syndrome, the disease that leaves a former Pawn with new submissive cravings, can eventually nestle inside a person for such a long time that they explode and become a Queen, seeking to make a brand new group of Pawns that spread their will and whim. That's strange though, D'Or should've been making sure that we wouldn't run into problems with Pawns! Maybe... Maybe it's- Nah, she wouldn't have something like this as part of her plans." Cobra gave as much of an explanation as he could possibly give her, all while remaining nothing more than a voice inside her head.

Mikai took note of it all, before realizing that he didn't explain a whole lot about how to deal with a Pawn Queen. "Uhhhh... What do I do to get rid of the Pawn Queen?" So she asked. Couldn't hurt to hear if he had any bright ideas.

"Just beat her up a bit. Nothing major, just the ol' one-two- That should deal with her. And if you need more help than that... I guess I can see what I can do. Again, sorry about the personal meeting. Just stay strong out there." Cobra gave another apology and some words of encouragement, before the connection to his mind started to die down. Which meant that it was up to Mikai to do her very best..!

And if nothing else, even with the doubts in her mind, she could do her very best!

---

"They just keep coming! Ero, have you found the culprit yet or not!?"

"Still looking! It's like finding a needle in a haystack with how many of the damn things there are!"

"WELL THEN FIND HER SO WE CAN BE DONE WITH IT!"

Hayato was breathing heavier and heavier with every passing moment. Mowing down Pawns was not easy. Sure, it took a few bullets to knock them out and keep them out of the fight... But when he was gunning down a proverbial army's worth, the amount of bullets he had to create using his will and the EroDriver was getting to be a little much. He was still able to keep up, but he had to start thinking of other ways to deal with this horde.

Ero had the Idolizer medal. Which meant... God, it meant that he actually had to use this damn medal, didn't it? Fine, whatever would get him out of this situation. It had better not be stupid, because then he was going to make Ero pay for this damn system.

"RELEASE YOUR DESIRE - TITHOTH!"

The powers of the titty ruler started to flow through Hayato, as he spun his firearms once again and readied himself, only to let out a rather feminine yelp as his breastplate suddenly flew off, revealing a pair of rather voluptuous and barely bound breasts. Because of course that was exactly what happened when he tapped into the power of a pharaoh who was known for her hypnotic tits. OF COURSE THAT'S WHAT HAPPENED.

"EROOOOOO!" Hayato screamed over the communication line, all while weighed down by the sheer power in his chest. He had to ignore it as much as he possibly could. All so he could focus on what was important. What was in front of him. The horde of enemies that needed to just... watch the swaying bosom. He hated that he had to use it, but..!

A giggle poured through his ears, all while a pair of tender hands quickly squeezed into his bosom. "My my, you've got some heavy melons. How about I help you a bit? Just so you don't end up hurting your back... Mmmph..." It wasn't hard to tell that the voice of the one speaking into his ear belonged to a much stronger opponent. But unfortunately for him, the fact that she was playing with his mesmerizing titties meant that he didn't have much in the way of counter attacks..!

"Let... go... of... me..!" Hayato cried out as he tried to wrestle free from this fiend. But that just made the Queen Pawn sink her fingers deeper into his bosom, paralyzing him further. "I'm... going... to... kill... that... bot...!"

Yua giggled as she watched the titty boy squirm in response to her teasing. All while she reached forward and planted a kiss right on that cute boy's cheek. All so she could watch him squirm even further as her influence overwhelmed him. "Don't worry. We'll use those tits of yours for good. You'll make everything so much fun..."

Hayato let out a vile cry as he was forced to succumb to the powers of the kiss on his cheek. It was way stronger than what the EroDriver was built to handle. The device was a proverbial glass cannon. Great offensive output, shite in terms of defense unless the right Jotai factors were slotted in. So instead he was forced to let out a powerful cry as most of his body was wrapped in bright green latex...

And once it had tightened around him to the point where he was indistinguishable from a girl, a switch flipped inside his mind as his eyes turned the same shade of green as his suit. He saluted his Queen and turned towards her. All so she could admire the fruits of her efforts. He looked utterly ridiculous. Not just because of the titties hanging from his chest, but also because of the excessive grin on his face. That big stupid grin just made him look dumber and dumber...

Yua snickered as she gave those big breasts another squeeze, before giggling and looking towards the rest of her horde. He had dealt a pretty heavy blow, but there were still a loooot of girls that were ready to serve. "Aaaaalright. Let's continue having fun. Make everyone love the horny feeling rushing through them! And if you end up making another minion, just like I've done here... Then I'm going to reward you for good behavior. You all get that?"

The sound of so much juice squirting from the many different Pawns echoed out, a symphony of delight according to Yua. With that sound backing her, it was easy to give them all the command to spread out and hunt down their target...

And easy for her to just find a nice seat and... relieve a bit of tension...

Aaahhhh...

---

"Senpai!" "Tsubasa!"

Tsubasa's day turned around. All thanks to the speedy arrival of not only Mikai... But also his Kouhai, the Jõtaijin Habakiri. That bladed girl who had helped him once before after... Well, scaring him shitless. He had tried to call her just in case Mikai couldn't make it, and she had arrived at the same time...

Mikai smiled as she saw the red-clad sword-gal, giving her a thumbs up. A gesture that she returned, grinning as much as she could. "What's the situation, Tsubasa?" She asked, since she had only heard so much while calling her friend.

"Way, way too many Pawns." Tsubasa said, summing it up plain and simply. Right before he cleared his throat a bit. "I also met the JõtaiKiller, so... Whatever's going on, they might be lurking right around the corner." He explained, knowing that the pair was a bit of a sore spot for Mikai. Considering what had happened only a week prior...

Habakiri blinked with her single optic. She wasn't up to date on affairs. "JõtaiKiller? Somebody's going around trying to kill us?" She asked, crossing her arms as her legs turned extra sharp. "If they dare come close to Tsubasa-Senpai, I'm going to make sure they pay for making him afraid!"

"Oh? I mean, if you wanna try and fight me, I'd gladly take the chance after we're done with all this Pawn cleaning. But how about you keep your pretty head on your shoulders first, hun?"

Mikai was about to make it clear that these JõtaiKillers were bad news, right before Ero decided to make her presence known by popping out of a little puddle of paint that formed from between the cracks in the tiles. Instead, the Eagle heroine slammed her fists together, glaring through the windows in her helmet so Ero could understand just how badly she had screwed up.

"You!" Habakiri shouted as she brandished her blades, making sure to get herself in between Tsubasa and Ero. "You're not getting Tsubasa-Senpai! Over my dead body!" She barely even realized that the girl's goal was to take her Jõtai Factor. What mattered more was protecting the young man she admired!

Ero laughed a little, before gently bowing her head. "We got off on the wrong foot last week. Sorry about that, Mikai. But right now, I need your help. And I know you're probably going to say no, because we really did something bad. But if I don't ask you for help, then Mama's going to get on my case. I told her that I'd keep tabs on him, and getting him in trouble like this would mean I get in trouble."

Mikai wasn't too happy with what she was hearing. But at the same time, she didn't seem hostile. So for now, she took her words at face value, and instead focused on her friend. "Tsubasa, have you heard from Yumeko? It's weird that I didn't hear about this from her..."

"About that... I couldn't get ahold of her. I really tried, but she didn't pick up. Agatha didn't either, but I'm guessing she's busy with family. You know how she is." Tsubasa said, before taking a deep breath as he looked at the three girls that were currently much stronger than he was. "...I'm going to have to help deal with all these Pawns, aren't I?"

"Mmhm. You catch on quick, four eyes. By the way, nice stories." Ero said with a grin on her face, spinning her scythe a bit before planting it dangerously close to the youth's crotch. "If you want to have a few more ideas to play with, I could show you around my place, see what you like."

Habakiri glared at the erotic JõtaiKiller, with Tsubasa naturally blushing and sweating in turn. He really didn't want to get into any more trouble than he was already in. "Let's... Let's just focus on the Pawn stuff and think about my stories later." He muttered, hoping they could focus on the task at hand.

Mikai agreed with that sentiment, as she drew her Unicorn Blade from her chest and let her form change as a result, letting Light Unicorn shine forth. "We find Hayato, we deal with the Queen Pawn, and then we're even. And you give me back that medal that's got Idolizer's stuff in it. I don't want Hiro to feel bad because her friend got that badly hurt."

"Sure. That's a good trade to me." Ero said, before grinning a little as she noticed the horde of Pawns approaching. "Well, we can talk about the finer points of the deal later. Right now, we've got a lil' army on our hands. Ready?"

The armored heroine nodded, and Tsubasa took a deep breath before looking to his Kouhai, who nodded in turn as she assumed the form of the flaming sword that he had used once before. Together, the two of them would be adequate allies for the actual combatants.

"Theeere they are!" Yua giggled as she pointed at the group of lovely heroines, before snapping her fingers. "Let's go, everyone! Let's make sure they have a fun time! Put up a good fight, and give them what for!"

One by one, the Pawns that surrounded her responded to her powerful orders. And they each started to change in different ways. Some were equipped with horse-shaped pins in their hair, making them into Knights. Some were equipped with tower-shaped pins that made them Rooks, and some were given adorable religious crowns in their hair that made them Bishops. And as such, each followed the kind of tactics that were to be expected from their role. With the Rooks heading the assault!

Mikai didn't even bother looking too hard at the Pawns in front of her, letting her blade get covered in light as she dashed towards one of the muscle bound girls that stood in their way. "Unicorn Beginning." She said, slashing straight through the Pawn. And yet, no damage was done. Not until she let the blade return to a neutral position. "Unicorn Ending!" Only then did the light from her blade strike true, making the Pawn's outfit explode off her and subsequently downing her without much actual pain.

Ero grinned as she watched her heroine do what she did best, spinning her scythe as she flicked a medal into it so she could infuse it with the right kind of powers. "REVEAL YOUR DESIRE - INFERNAL!" The EroDriver resounded, as the scythe disappeared and formed a pair of horned fists instead. And with a quick step, she thrust forward. Her horned hook knocking down a Rook and leaving it open. "You're up, perv!"

"You don't have to tell me twice!" Tsubasa cried out as he ran towards the enemy. It's not like he had formal training in combat or anything. But what he did have was a sword. A sword filled with the will of another that was willing to help him. And by dragging his sword along the ground, making the blade hotter and hotter, he was able to stoke that will until it was roaring into a proper inferno. "HEAVENREND!" With the Rook stunned, even somebody like him was able to give her the finishing blow. And that blow came in the form of a slash that burnt her back to a normal state, the slash filled with so much extra power that a tornado of flames was sent flying towards the rest of the enemy army!

Unfortunately, they couldn't just burn their way through the enemy that easily. The Bishops stood in front of their Queen and let their powers fuel hers, which in turn let her fuel the Knights that each slashed against the tornado of flames, putting a swift end to their attempt to bypass everything.

Mikai grit her teeth a bit as she brought her blade up to her elbow, wiping some of the light off. Especially as she watched more Pawns turn into higher tier minions as they swarmed in. If they didn't bowl their way through somehow, they'd just end up stuck. Surrounded, and then... Then...

Hey, was that a pair of swinging tits? Swinging pawn tits that were swaying so nicely back and forth, right beside the Queen? Maybe she should take a closer look-

Ero bonked Mikai on the head, knocking her out of the titty trance in the process. All while grinning a little. "And here I thought the heroine of the city couldn't get entranced. Guess you're just as much of a perv as the rest of us?"

"Really don't appreciate that you keep pointing it out!" Tsubasa cried out as he kept on the offensive, letting Habakiri grind against the ground as she grew hotter and hotter. He needed as much strength as possible to strike against those powerful Knights, yelling out with all his might as he clashed against them once again. "HEAVENREND!"

His strikes were not nearly strong enough to break on through. But it was still a good attempt. Especially as he clashed against the Knights, giving his allies a bit of time.

Ero grinned a bit more as she watched those swaying tits, easily identifying them as Hayato's. Mostly because she could see his face above them. He had gotten himself pawned, how fun. "Keep 'em pinned, pervert!" She cried out as she ejected her medal and slammed it right back into the relevant slot, before jetting forward like a bull seeing red. "DESIRE REVEALED - INFERNAL!" The EroDriver let its voice resound as she dashed forward with no restraint, a pair of horns forming in the place of her gauntlets as she slammed straight through the clash in front of her!

The Knights were bowled aside, leaving Mikai to dash forward to take advantage of the opening, her blade glowing bright with light. But that wasn't enough. If those Bishops were to pour their power into the Queen, then she needed something stronger. Something much, much stronger. Something right by her side!

"Unicorn Synchronize! Tsubasa!" She shouted as she ran past Tsubasa, her blade turning from light to solid steel, only for it to split into millions of little shards that rushed around her like a storm of blades. If the Queen's shield could handle a strong attack, then how would it do against a bunch of attacks?

Yua gasped a little as the many Bishops started to moan in response to her tapping into their powers, with her raising a powerful shield in return. But that shield quickly started to crack from the metallic storm of tiny shards that slammed against it, cracking more and more until the shield shattered in its entirety, leaving the Pawn Queen utterly vulnerable. All with a blush on her cheeks as she tried to regain her powers..!

"So that's the Synchronize Yuuki-senpai talked about..!" Tsubasa said with a bright look in his eyes. So that's what he could do when paired with Mikai. Astonishing... No, simply amazing..!

"Nice trick!" Ero cried out, slapping her EroDriver to eject her personal Hopper Medal. All so she could slam it back in and let the power pour through her. "Let's finish it, knock the Pawn right out of her for good!" She shouted, the wings on her back fluttering as several copies of herself took form!

Mikai nodded and stabbed the Unicorn Blade into herself. All so she could dash forth, past the Rooks, past the Knights, and right at the Queen the Bishops tried to defend. "UNICORN FLAAAAAAME!" She shouted, leaping into the air and letting the light within form a powerful white flame at her foot!

"DESIRE RELEASED - HOPPER!" Ero's EroDriver resounded in turn, with each of the many Eros dashing forward and leaping into the air in tandem. Each then slamming back into her as they added their power onto hers, each making her glow more and more gold before she jetted forward and flew right beside Mikai.

Their kicks impacted at the same time. White hot flames melding together with the erotic light of the returning Hopper. Two natural enemies, joining forces for a brief few moments for the sake of dealing with a common threat!

Yua couldn't do a thing to stop them. Nor did she honestly want to. The Pawn Queen was made from her submissive desire. This was all a way to act out and get punished. So she naturally took their kicks and accepted the purging of her Pawn Syndrome, letting out one climactic moan as a sign of her letting it all go...

She collapsed, latex gone from her body. Latex gone from all of her pawns, courtesy of the light that poured from Mikai, killing off their symptoms and syndromes in the process. It would take a while before any of them ended up in a situation as bad as this one ever again.

Even Hayato was cleansed, snapping free from his trance as he looked at the two girls that had saved him. And the fact that he still had his tits, something that prompted him to quickly de-transform, causing his EroDriver to let out a dissatisfied huff as it didn't get to climax.

"Don't you dare think this-"

Ero bonked her partner on the head and grabbed him by the collar, denying him the chance to act out. "Thanks for the help, Mikai! I'll have a chat with hm about proper etiquette, and get him to pony up the Idolizer medal by the next time we meet!" She said, not dragging him off so nonchalantly despite how much he loathed all of this.

"We did it, Senpai! This time there were no bad accidents too!" Habakiri cried out as she transformed back into her humanoid form, squeezing Tsubasa tight as she hugged him lots and lots. All while giggling in delight, really heating him up in the process.

Tsubasa couldn't help but laugh a little too, looking at Mikai with a smile on his face. "You were amazing, Mikai. I can't believe that's what my Synchronize was like... Could you try that again another time? I really wanna see what you could do with all those shards!"

"Ehehe, maybe another time." Mikai giggled and chimed, before stretching a little as she detransformed. Everything had gone so swimmingly after she left. Maybe... Maybe Mom was right. Maybe she just had to stop worrying so much and just trust in people...

As she let that thought drift through her mind, she heard her phone ring. And she naturally answered it. Only to hear soft, uncharacteristic sobbing on the other end. It was... It was her Mom. "Mom? What's going on?"

"Mikai. It's... It's about... God, why'd it have to happen to him? Why'd it have to happen right now, when my girl's struggling so much?" Kaoru was doing her best to remain composed, but it was difficult. Especially as she kept sobbing in such a soft manner. But eventually, she managed to clear her throat and wipe her tears for just long enough to deliver the news.

"Your Dad... He's gone."

In four simple words, Mikai's world started to surround itself in darkness once again...

And she swore she could hear the phantom laugh of her best friend echo through her ears, as if to taunt her for believing that a bond like that could remain intact...

---

"What are you two doing here..?"

Saeko had been locked away for a few weeks now. And here were two girls that she hadn't expected to see in a long time. One Yumeko Watanabe... And one Yuuki Shimo, her Senpai. The one she had betrayed...

"Yuuki." Yumeko said, motioning towards the wall, prompting the white-haired girl to nod and get to work. "Saeko... No, Spider. It's time for me to give you the same offer you once gave to Mikai."

Saeko watched as her Senpai broke the wall, allowing her to get out and also make it all the way outside in the process. She clearly wasn't happy about it, considering the fact she didn't look towards the purple-haired girl. Which just prompted Saeko to look towards Yumeko, a single eyebrow raised...

"I give you freedom, Spider. Do as you wish. Whether you remain here, or choose to cause trouble again. Or even reform, now that you've been given a second chance." Yumeko said, closing her eyes as if to symbolically show that she'd look the other way. "Let your freedom bring you hope."

"You... I don't know what either of you are planning, but..." Saeko muttered as she got out of bed, gritting her teeth a little. "Don't think I owe you because of this!" She shouted, running out through the hole in the wall, transforming back from her weak and shy human self to the Monster that she was at heart!

Yuuki slowly turned to see the girl disappear into the distance, before gazing towards Yumeko. "You sure this'll work, Yumeko?" She didn't know what that girl was thinking. She just believed in her. Because she had been right every other time.

"I hope it does." Was all that Yumeko could say, as she put a hand over her heart. Christmas was drawing near...

And their last chance to stop Kimiko, now rested on the shoulders of the Monster that had set everything into motion.
