[Corruption, Mechanization, Tokusatsu Themes, Full Armor]

"Why are you afraid of the Primes anyway, Ouroboros?"

Minami yawned a little as she wheeled down the street. Saeko was busy trying to figure out how to properly convey her feelings to Mikai. Ero was busy with her internet friends and probably harassing Hayato. Saki was... Well, she was being Saki, so it was no use really trying to reach out to her. Yumeko? Being mysterious as usual. Which left very few options to hang out with, and none of them really tickled her fancy at the moment. Especially with this presence inside her, the one that was ever hungry.

"Afraid? Afraid?? Don't you ever feel fear when you're faced with something naturally stronger than you, a predator waiting to dive down on you?"

Ouroboros' voice echoed through her mind, as the wisps of her protector's influence coiled around her. Though Ouroboros took the shape of her Mother, that didn't stop her from also taking the shape of her namesake. The endless self-consuming snake, wrapping around Minami as she tried to constrict her. Even if they were in bright daylight, and nobody besides Minami could truly perceive her.

"Predator? But I'm the Apex Predator." Minami giggled as she ignored the sensation around her, playing a little with her braid as she gazed at the serpentine face that was hanging in front of her. "Why would I be afraid of another? All I have to do is to prove that this is my territory."

This made Ouroboros tremble a little, as she could see a devious gleam in the girl's eyes. "The more you act like that, the more I feel I didn't need to offer you this power. You're clearly a menace even without my help." She muttered while shifting her position slightly. Leaving her as a wispy scarf around her host's neck, settling in by munching on her own alluring tail.

Minami chuckled. The artificial Prime was a complicated creature. Just as she was. But they were two parts of a greater whole. Two complicated existences that made one devious girl. At least, that's how she saw it. Besides, Ouroboros was cute when she got unsettled like that. It reminded her of Saeko's reactions. How the girl was so easy to mess with, despite being such a powerful woman when she actually put her mind to it...

That power was something that Minami wanted. And she certainly had much of it, thanks to what she had arranged with Ouroboros. Her status as a Jõtaider allowed her a great degree of freedom, as well as restoring the functions of her legs whenever she let Ouroboros take over. But it also left her hungry for more. Both for battle, and for actual sustenance. And if she wanted to grow stronger, if she wanted to truly understand every inch of this Darkness inside her, this Prime that had been forced inside her... Then she'd have to make her resonate with other Darknesses. Or just feed her enough to the point where she'd evolve. Kind of like one of those cute pet games that she liked to play when she was younger.

So much that she had to do. So little time. Perhaps she should call up Mikai and try to snack on her. She had something inside her too, didn't she? That Chimera character that she showed off once? What was she, anyway? Was she a Darkness like Ouroboros, or-

"They're coming..!"

Ouroboros' voice echoed through Minami's mind as the 'scarf' around her neck suddenly disappeared, and her body very quickly  put the brake on her chair. All so she wouldn't be caught in the blast of something crashing down up ahead. Rocks and all sorts of debris being tossed around, all while a familiar figure slowly started to emerge from the smoke...

She wasn't quite familiar with the figure as she would like to admit. But she did recognize it. The anthropomorphic dragoness with an Egyptian tint. The long billowing locks that were characteristic of the Overlord that had come to this world to try and take it over through combat. She was not him, because she didn't stoke her hunger for combat in the same manner. But that didn't mean that she was any less of a threat...

"I return. And I long for a partner." Neoheim, Overlord Helheim's spawn, spoke up as she stepped out from the smoke. Her wings spread far and wide as her hand morphed, letting a hard light khopesh spawn from the tip of her morphed hand. Just like the Overlord himself, she could transform her body into a much more offensive form. But since her form was still immature and lacked the necessary upgrades that had been built up through decades if not centuries of combat, her transformation was done in a piecemeal fashion. Hence why she only had a weapon ready, instead of her full suite of combat options.

Minami stared at the draconic spawn, before smirking a bit. The mechanical dragoness that had taken over Ero during the Near-Luna Descent incident was indeed back. And unlike the time after they had merged, she had lost a lot of her playful nature. "Seems like you're longing for more than just a partner. You're longing for what you've lost." Minami taunted, happy that most of the onlookers had decided to scram before things got messy.

Neoheim adjusted her optics as she locked onto Minami. "Jõtaider." She stated factually, turning her weaponized hand back into a proper claw. "Where is the one known as Ero? Tell me." She demanded. In a voice that lacked a lot of proper emotion, merely operating by the parameters she was set up with. She was more like a machine, less like an actual living and breathing being. Even her 'Father' was more impressive, and he could make up the entire circus with his kind of emoting.

"Dunno. Probably busy being perverted on the internet." Minami shot back, as she slowly stood up from her wheelchair. "I could give you a taste, if you'd like. But I think I know what you really want. What you want more than to find Ero again, and what you need more than her presence." Everything she said was accompanied by such a sweet and serene smile. Despite the clear aggression and thirst for combat pouring off her body...

"I would like to see Ero again." Neoheim flatly replied, before recognizing the aura of pure aggression pouring off the Jõtaider's form. "But if you mean to challenge me, then Father taught me that I have to respond in mind. Come, Jõtaider!" The draconic robot called out, as she swapped her claw back into a weapon. All while cracking a slight grin. The heart in her chest, that had been borne from the same desire as her maker, was starting to beat at an incredibly rapid pace.

Minami laughed as she saw the dragon rearing up for a fight. She knew that she wouldn't be able to resist the allure of a good fight. "I'll come, alright! As long as you're ready for it!" She shouted, as she raised her hands to the air and snapped her fingers shut like two sides of a jaw. "Shinka!"

In an instant, Ouroboros' energy rushed forth and snapped around her. Transforming the devilish girl into the purple-hued 'Heroine', Jõtaider Ouroboros. And as she very quickly cracked her knuckles to make sure that everything was in order, she sprung into action. Not about to let her enemy catch her off guard, when she knew she could take her out!

Neoheim met the sudden burst of aggression, parrying a slice from the Jõtaider's bladed tail to send it flying in another direction, while at the same time catching the girl's punch with her much bigger claw. Locking the two into a very brief stalemate, eyes locked with one another...

For a few seconds. Before Neoheim's sensors started to act up, and her body felt a lot more sluggish than it had any right to. All sorts of warning signs were popping up in her optics, as she gasped and tried to break away. "Unknown presence in my inner circuitry... What's the meaning of this..?"

She couldn't truly focus on the cause, but the gaze she had locked with the Jõtaider was much more meaningful than she would've expected. All thanks to the soft waves that poured forth from Ouroboros' eyes. "Gute Nacht." The Jõtaider's voice echoed out, as her tail started to rapidly spin around, increasing the intensity of energy gathered at the very tip of that very same tail.

Neoheim let out a guttural growl as she slammed her claw against her head, the percussive maintenance knocking the hypnotic waves out of her system. All while she noticed the attack being wound up, prompting her to jump back in turn, wings drawing her into the air so she wouldn't be caught in a position where she would actually be struck by such an attack.

"You're getting better at fighting, much better than when you had to steal Ero's body. Shame you can't do that to me, because you'd be left with a much stronger body." Ouroboros laughed as she stopped spinning her tail, knowing that her attempt to drill straight through the dragon was just going to end in failure if she was able to dodge. Hell, she'd be leaving herself open for retaliation...

"Steal? I did not steal her body. I docked with it. Letting us become... one..." Neoheim's voice started to trail off, as a devious smile started to work its way onto her lips. It was like the girl's taunts had suddenly turned on some sort of light inside her head. A light of pure ingenuity that had been left unlit thanks to her lacking development.

Of course Ouroboros noticed that something had happened. Prompting her to curse slightly under her breath as she assumed a more predatory stance, with her hands and body closer to the ground as her tail rose up high. By keeping a low profile, and focusing all of her energy on that tail, there's no way that she would be caught off guard. And even then, there's no way that the Overlord's spawn would be able to get a good grip on her, if she really did try to capture her in some fashion.

Neoheim let her wings spread out far as a bunch of her energy coursed through her form, laughter pouring from her lips. "I understand now, Jõtaider! I understand completely! Thus, I will take you and integrate you into my systems!" She shouted, the same overly emotional flair as her Father pouring through. "IN OTHER WORDS! DOCKING, GO!"

The energy in her body released in a single second, as she slammed down at speeds barely visible to the human eye. No matter how much Ouroboros prepared herself to defend herself from all aerial angles, she wasn't able to defend herself against such a powerful slam. She should've thought further ahead and imagined that this was something that the dragon had at her disposal, yet it just didn't cross her mind in the slightest...

Which left Ouroboros pinned underneath Neoheim, several sorts of pain keeping the Jõtaider from trying to break free. All while the Dragon laughed as her energy started to pour from her body and into Ouroboros. All so that they could become compatible. All so that they could dock.

"W-What the hell is this stuff!? The girl's not a real Prime, and yet she's just as big a predator as her Father..?!" Ouroboros' voice echoed out through Minami's mind as the energy poured through them, almost as if the energy was forming a circuit within them...

Minami, meanwhile, couldn't do much. Because it actually... it actually felt good to have the energy pouring through her. It was like she was being connected to something. Like a plug was being stuffed into the back of her neck, and she was being pulled inside. Like she was going to become part of something bigger...

She wasn't that much of a fan, despite how good it felt. But what could she do? Her body was aching too much to continue fighting, and the good feelings that came with being integrated... Ah... Ahhh... It felt... It felt really... Really nice...

Minami's expression grew nice and blissful as Neoheim's body started to open up, pulling the Jõtaider into her mechanical body. Like she was being made to pilot... Or rather, being made to wear her. It was a different method of Docking compared to when she had become one with Ero, but a different method was necessary to properly interface with humans...

Since the Jõtaider couldn't put up much of a fight thanks to the bliss that came with being integrated, Neoheim's body snapped shut a few moments later. The mechanical Dragon let out a laugh as she squeezed her claws tight. Slowly but surely letting the power rush through her. She could feel it. The power, it was... it was..!

Neoheim's eyes widened, as she started to let out potent gasps. The power was too much. It was far too much power. Or perhaps integrating with a human was not yet something she should've thought of. She could feel her body complaining and whining, metal scraping against itself as she was being compressed. Shrinking further and further, until she started to take on a form that was a lot more sleek compared to before...

Not only that, but her wild mane that served as one of the cornerstones of her relationship with the Overlord, started to tie itself into one enormous and eternally long braid. Leaving her to look more like a mechanical version of Ouroboros, with all of the bells and whistles still remaining from her original self...

She didn't have a mirror on hand. But what she did have was a much more humane profile. So walking into the nearby clothing store, where most of the glass had already been shattered thanks to her original arrival, wasn't too hard. And while a lot of it had shattered, even a broken mirror was good enough.

Neoheim took a good look at herself, before letting out a devious giggle. She looked... Well, she looked like a recolored and mechanical version of Ouroboros. Unlike Ero, who had become more of a draconic existence since they were both fellow machines, integrating a human turned her into a bit of a copycat based on the one 'piloting' her. Perhaps this would change as she integrated her fully and made her a more digital part of her circuitry. But for now...

"My my. I look like a demon lord trying to fit in." Neoheim spoke, before blinking and covering her mouth slightly. She sounded less like herself, and more like the girl inside her. Well, their voices were overlaid together, but she didn't expect her new temperament to be like this. "...How much more can I fit in?" She asked, as she closed her eyes for a moment, optics still shining behind her mechanical eyelids...

Neoheim tried to change her body even more than she already had. Compressing it even further. Removing details that made her stand out as a robotic life form. And once she opened her eyes once again, she was faced with... a near-perfect replica of the human inside her. The only difference between her and Minami was the red hue of her metallic frame, and the hotblooded color of her hair. She looked almost like a complete copy. And if somebody just wasn't paying attention, she'd blend in perfectly...

Which made her gag in disgust. "Horrendous. Horrifying. I wouldn't want to look like this." She whined like a brat, as she pushed back out. Leaving her look like a recolored Ouroboros once again, though this time with her wings worn across her shoulders like a form of mantle, and with her horns poking out of her head as she laughed. This was much more accommodating to her tastes. The tastes that her Father had imprinted in her... As well as Minami's own tastes.

It seemed as if the girl had a taste for the dramatic as well. That, or she just liked to impose. Either way, she felt like she could more accurately control her power like this. A draconic fusion between Neoheim and Ouroboros had taken stage, and needed a new name... Yes, yes! That's it, that would let her control it completely. Naming herself would make that power her own!

"I, N-Uro-Heim, will serve as this world's Apex Predator! Ha! Haha! Hahahaha!" She laughed, as her tail started to drip with venom made from her concentrated power. Yes! This was what she wanted. This was what she needed!

And now, with the power fully under her control, it was time to put it into action. And she knew just the girl that deserved a taste!

"Do you really have to keep working with those ladies, Saki? What's so heroic about working with a bunch of Monster makers?"

"I challenge Mikai through them. If she wins, she grows stronger and more worth the role. If she loses, then they were right all along. It's not that complicated."

"Sounds a lot more complicated to me, when you could just help her out in the first place."

Yuuki Shimo and Saki Himitsu were having a chat, all while Saki was bound in her own chains. Just casually conversing about their viewpoints, while one was completely bound and nearly gagged. A truly absurd sight, to be totally blunt.

"It's important." Saki said, gritting her teeth a little as the chains dug further into her. All while panting and gasping as she tried to struggle against the tightness of the chains. "If she ever starts to lag behind, if she ever starts to grow wary, then the city won't have its hero. Then I'll have to step up... And I need to be even better, in preparation for that moment..!" She cried out, amongst grunts and gasps.

The white-haired girl scratched the back of her head as she watched her friend punish herself with even greater bondage, before laughing a little. "It really sounds like you're just trying to find excuses for doing what you like, you know? I never took you for enjoying the villainous self-flagellating route that much, but if that's what you like, Saki, then what do I know?"

"What part of this is meant to be self-flagellating?!" Saki shouted, a blush on her cheek as her chains suddenly shattered. That moment of heightened emotions and shame at being called out caused her concentration to break, and thus her self-induced bindings did as well. Which then prompted her to deeply sigh as she brushed her hands through her hair. "I swear. Nobody understands."

"You make it really hard to understand when I stumble on you trying to bind yourself in the most erotic way I've seen these last two weeks. And I've seen at least two other people being bound, and neither of them were very happy about it. Especially Hayato, you wouldn't believe the amount of curses that boy knows." Yuuki laughed, before shaking her head and patting her friend on the shoulder. "If you really want to test her that much, then just do it directly. Or just fight alongside her and make up for her faults."

Saki shook her head, the blush remaining on her cheeks thanks to Yuuki's brazen examination of the situation. "I just can't do that. It's not enough-" She was about to launch into a dedicated explanation of her methods, before she felt a presence spike through her heart. "Hold that thought, we've got company."

Yuuki cracked her knuckles as her icy heat started to spread from her body, taking a quick glance around to spot the 'company'. Only to notice a glint in the sky. "Up above, Saki! Seems like they're crashing down towards us!" She shouted, clapping her hands together before quickly freezing the shockwave made from the clap of her hands.

A frozen barrier formed around the two, using the shockwave as an anchor, before that barrier was reinforced by Saki's own powers. Ice and Darkness layered on top, proving itself incredibly effective against an impending comet. Or at least a comet-like entity that slammed against the barrier, and only managed to crack the two barriers slightly. Canceling any damage that would've been inflicted should it have broken through...

"There you are, Jõtaider... No, Saki!"

It didn't take many moments for either Yuuki or Saki to recognize the figure outside of their barrier. It was... Ouroboros? No, the red color scheme and the hot blooded hair made it clear that it was actually Neoheim... Or at least, some sort of fusion between the two. Great, just what they needed. A new threat.

"You managed to fuse with another person!? What, was that perverted machine not enough for you?!" Saki shouted, as she let the Darkness explode outward, knocking N-Uro-Heim off the combined barrier and onto her feet once more. All so she could call forth her cane as well, so she could access the full scope of her powers.

Yuuki nodded as she snapped her fingers, transforming the icy layer of the barrier into a swirl of flames that flew towards her arm and coated her in an aura made from her own heated heart. "Don't worry, we'll melt you right off her if you try something! That's Saeko's sister, you know!"

"Saeko... Saeko, hm, yes, that girl." N-Uro-Heim muttered as she mentally cataloged her. "The perfect minion, once she's been trapped within my... Oh, I suppose Web's a little on the nose. Ehe." She was a lot more playful with the way she spoke. Sadistically so, especially as she dragged a finger along her sculpted lips.

"DIVINE BIND!" Saki shouted as she slammed her cane against the ground, instantly transforming her into Jõtaider Kanzei as the chains of her Darkness erupted from the ground, each trying to wrap around the devious draconid. Saeko was no minion! Especially not hers!

Yuuki laughed a little as she followed suit, jumping onto one of those chains and freezing it mid-motion to grind along it, holding out one hand to fire out a burst of flame while tossing spears of ice with the other. The two elements worked in tandem, not affecting either as they served as a form of two-pronged assault.

N-Uro-Heim laughed as she stabbed her tail into the ground and quickly spun around, letting the blue energy gathered at the tip of her venomous appendage fill the ground. "Not enough, not enough!" She laughed from the depths of her twisted heart as the energy exploded, shattering the chains that came towards her, while at the same time providing a shield to absorb both the heat of the flames and the chill of the spears that were being tossed at her.

Kanzei grit her teeth as she watched her restricting tactics get ignored, causing her to break into a run as the hammer of her mind rang out and transformed her cane into a pair of blades. That bitch was going to regret insulting her Saeko!

Yuuki whistled impressively as she leapt off the shattering remains of the chain she had been grinding on, launching her far into the air before she collected all of her heat and her PASSION into her fist. "Here it comes then, Neoheim! Taste this PASSION!" She shouted, before gravity grabbed ahold of her and forced her down towards the middle of the dust cloud...

Two assaults from two different angles, the moment after she was left open. They were good. As expected of the girls that her Father held in great regard. But that was exactly why they played into her trap. And with her eyes gleaming blue within the explosive cloud, she couldn't help but laugh as her gaze locked with the two girls.

"NEO NACHT!"

Her pride-filled words suddenly slammed through the two girls, locking them in place. It didn't matter if they were only staring into one eye, locking eyes with her for even a second caused her hypnotic powers to take root inside them. Causing Yuuki to limply power down as she landed in N-Uro-Heim's arms, and Saki to stop short with her arms locked and about to slash...

"W-What's... PASSION... Gone..?" Yuuki had a bright blush on her cheeks, her mind feeling more and more sluggish as she tried to keep herself awake. But as she laid in the robotic girl's arms, it was harder and harder to think. Harder and harder to do anything that wasn't just... enjoy the vibes that poured through her...

All she could see was those sculpted lips. How they smiled in such a self-secured and seductive manner. It was such a far cry from Minami's usual self. Even the predator that she had become by turning into Ouroboros was nowhere near this smug and self-secure. Ah... It made her feel kinda... submissive, just looking at her...

"Sssh. Don't worry about that 'Passion' of yours, Yuuki." N-Uro-Heim used a much gentler tone, now that she had managed to subdue the girl. All while her tail carefully wrapped around the girl, tightening her as she lifted her into the air. It was easier to hold her with the single appendage, since it was so much stronger...

And it felt that much better for Yuuki as well. It was like she was being hugged all over. Squeezed tight. Making her feel so blissful, like she was flying on cloud nine... Ah... She wanted to enjoy it forever...

Saki grit her teeth as her helmet faded away from her will being suppressed by the hypnotic waves within her. "I don't... I don't want to... No..." She muttered, as she stabbed her blades into the ground. She tried to muster up all the willpower inside her. All to resist the girl that had been taken over and merged with that horrid dragon. That dragon that had taken inspiration from her. It was like losing to another version of herself. Which was the most humiliating experience she could go through..!

All she could really do, as she supported herself with her swords still planted in the ground, was watch as the draconic serpent's tail sank into Yuuki's neck, and a cry of pure pleasure and bliss left her lips...

The blue venom sank into Yuuki's body, and her skin immediately started to turn the same shade of red as the metal that made up N-Uro-Heim's body. Spreading across her like a sickness, not unlike what would've happened to somebody that just contracted Pawn Syndrome. But this was turning her into a metallic minion, a pawn in the game that the Darkness was playing, instead of a pawn in the game between Atlas and D'Or...

"Ah... Ahhh! Ahhhhhh!" Yuuki cried out in delight, as her voice was becoming more and more digitized. All while she laughed and was let free from that tail. Falling to the ground, only to break her fall with a pair of wings that sprouted from her back, all while her very own tail started to coil around her. Squeezing tighter and tighter...

Until it let go, and Yuuki stood once more. Now no longer organic. For all intents and purposes, she was a mechanical girl just like the one that had injected her. Not only that, but her mechanical parts were bulky. Making it look more like she was stuck inside a suit, when that very same suit was her everything...

"N-Uro-Heim Unit PASSION Online!" The newly converted mechanoid cried out, saluting in delight as she wore her wings as a mantle. "Give your loyal unit all the orders that you might have in mind, Mistress! Please, I live to serve!" She was far, far too enthused with all of this... Probably because of the hypnotic venom that had filled her...

N-Uro-Heim laughed in delight as she watched Yuuki submit like that. A wonderful lesser version of herself. Still equipped with all the bells and whistles of the girl she had once been, and combined with the technology that made her who she was. Would that make her a... Consort? She'd have to ask Father later, but she liked the idea of it.

"Bitch... Let... Let her go..!" Saki shouted as she forced herself to stand tall, the hammer of her mind hammering as intensely as possible. All while she tightened her grip on her blades, fully intent on pouring that remaining will of hers in...

But she didn't get further. Partly because of the tip of N-Uro-Heim's tail sinking into the side of her neck. And partly because of the sculpted lips meeting hers, a kiss leaving her vulnerable for just long enough. All of her resistance drained in a matter of mere moments, as she lost grip on her blades...

"Sssh." N-Uro-Heim said, as she put a finger on those puckered lips. A finger on the lips that would be locked into such a plump form, as Saki was made into another one of her new 'consorts'. All while she chuckled, and watched as her hypnotic and mesmerizing venom pumped into her form. "No more struggle. Just obedience. Understand?"

Saki was initially unresponsive. Of course she was. She had just been injected full of a venom that left her completely speechless and unable to do anything except obey. But slowly, she raised her hand into a salute, coinciding with her transformation into another one of N-Uro-Heim's minions coming to a close. "N-Uro-Heim Unit Kanzei, conversion complete..!" Her voice went from quiet to fully enthused, as she put as much passion into her craft as Unit PASSION. "Give me your orders, Mistress! I will do everything to live up to them!"

Just like that, two thorns in her side had been dealt with. Leaving N-Uro-Heim to laugh as she wiped the venom from the tip of her tail off on their cheeks. And to think it was all thanks to Minami allowing her a new kind of perspective...

Now, to do as Father would want, and take this world... Ehehehe...
