NtLD - Dolls or Clones?

Unending BE - episode 339715

"What is it, now?" Kujaku admonished the guy in black with his gaze. Showing local problems while Ichikawa was visiting would not look good for him or his organization, especially considering the uneasy mood that still filled the air.

"Intruders. Two of them," the guy answered, lowering his gaze at Kujaku's glare. "By their uniforms and movements, they seem to be part of a trained group. They are dressed just like that blonde girl we just delivered to Saotome was when we captured her," the guy finihed.

Kujaku took a remote and turned on the surveillance system on the wall. Various displays showed several chambers and corridors. One in particular showed the intruders in question, walking stealthily towards the lab section.

"Is there a problem?" Ichikawa asked. A hint of danger in his voice let Kujaku know that an affirmative answer was not the best option right then.

Kujaku approached the wall to look closely at the monitor with the two female intruders in it. They both wore the same kind of tight-fitting uniform, which revealed their generous curves nicely and showed off their bare backs. One girl had short blond hair, while the other one had most of her dark-brown mane tied in a bun, with some more spilling over the sides of her face. Indeed they looked well trained and professional. Fortunately, his security systems were state of the art too. Both girls had activated the various sensors with their mere presence (how had that Ryouga guy been able to avoid all of them was still a mystery), and were now being closely followed by an array of hidden cameras.

Kujaku could see that they appeared to be looking for something or someone, but it didn't take a genius to figure out they were searching for their missing companion: that blonde girl who had made such a mess in one of his establishments. They must had tracked her here, but they were a little too late. A little smile formed on Kujaku's face realizing the possibilities. This would certainly help him earn some points with the boss.

Kujaku turned, still smiling, to address Ichikawa. "Not at all," he said while gesturing towards the wall with the monitors. "In fact, I think I'll be getting some pictures for you ahead of schedule."

Ichikawa approached the monitors on the wall. After a moment, an approving smile echoed the one the other oyabun had.

Juni and Juli had no idea that their situation had been compromised, or that their every movement was now being monitored. Their only concern was to find the traitor and dispose of her, just as their master had ordered.

Somewhere nearby, the Daimon group was activated again.

It was ironic that in trying to escape from her former enslaver, Cammy White had been captured and enslaved again. Her mind, not yet completely her own and still fighting some of her former programming, was unable to resist Von Ecchi's procedures for too long. Now, all of her loyalty was directed towards a new Master. One that was kinder, but certainly more naive and a lot less refined than Bison had ever been. The new Cammy couldn't help but find these new traits on her Master rather cute, though.

Having been upgraded by their new Lovedoll sisters, Cammy and her companions had been presented to their Master in a new and improved state of mind. Cammy could now remember perfectly how she had been brainwashed by Bison and all the nasty 'works' she had done in his name. Her current personality harbored no loyalty towards that horrible man, but now, she no longer looked for freedom either. She was now quite happy for finding such a nice new Master after such a strike of bad luck. He had even let all of them retain most of their personalities, something for which she was very grateful.

Currently they were talking and getting to know each other better. Ranma was sitting on the middle of a big couch, with Akane sitting to his right and Nabiki at his left side. Sakura Kasugano was sitting on his lap while resting her head over his chest, her arms encircling him affectionately. His right arm held her torso while his left hand was lost under her skirt. Sailor Mercury was now standing behind the couch, tilting herself a little over it so she could massage her Master's shoulders and occasionally lick and kiss his left ear.

Akane had Mariko sitting in a similar fashion on her lap, facing Ranma. They seemed to get along a lot better now that their differences were over. Ranma had noticed that Akane seemed a lot more open now to show affection towards him and her lovedoll sisters, something that he knew the former Akane would seldom do (or never do, in the case of other girls). Maybe he could ask her later about that. Not that he minded, but he certainly was curious.

Finally, Nabiki had Cammy sitting on her lap, also facing Ranma. In Nabiki's case, Ranma didn't find too strange for her to be affectionate to girls. He just chalked it up to her mischievous and playful side. One side that was guiding her hand over Cammy's thigh and getting it closer and closer to her crotch area.

Ranma had just finished talking with Sakura after finding out that she was indeed a great fighter and that she was quite skilled with ki attacks. Ranma was eager to practice with her and see what she could do, but, for some reason, he wasn't eager to move from his current spot just now. Ranma knew Mariko better than he did the other two girls, so, after finding out that she was quite happy with her new role as his personal cheerleader, he left her to cuddle with Akane so he could talk with the last of his new dolls.

"So," he addressed Cammy, "ya are a martial artist too?"

Cammy immediately straightened up in Nabiki's lap in order to answer him.

"Yes, Master!" she answered quickly while blushing a little. Cammy then thought for a moment before continuing. "Among other things ...," she finally trailed off while avoiding his gaze.

That last part raised Ranma's interest. "What other things?" He asked, his curiosity piqued.

Cammy couldn't think of not answering, no matter how ashamed she was of the answer, because her Master had asked her directly. "I was ..." She still kept her gaze low. "I was an assassin, Master." Nabiki's and Mercury's hands froze on the spot.

Ranma stared wide eyed while Cammy continued her explanation. She told him everything she remembered about how she had been conditioned and what kind of jobs she had done while under Bison's control. How she didn't feel any remorse after completing her missions, no matter how cruel the orders were. Ranma realized right then that she really wasn't as old as he had first supposed, but that it had been her previous hardships and crude experiences what had molded her face and body, including the scars on them. By the end of her description, tears were falling freely from her cheeks, emotions she hadn't had the chance to address suddenly surging.

Nabiki's hands changed directions and intentions, now trying to soothe the girl on her arms, patting her back and her shoulders while kissing away her tears.

After asking permission with her gaze only, Sakura jumped to sit with her knees on the floor in front of Cammy, also trying to calm the girl. Ranma's thoughts were running along the same lines, so he quickly approached Cammy and Nabiki and took the crying girl in his arms. Nabiki happily let him, since they both knew that his actions would be more powerful for the girl than anything any other people could do. Mercury just stood behind them and the couch in case she was needed.

"It's okay," Ranma told Cammy as soothingly as he could. He was fairly new with this supportive stuff, but he felt an almost fatherly instinct towards all his lovedolls and pets which urged him to protect and look for them in any way that he could. "That's all over now," he continued. "You won't have ta do that ever again, I promise."

As soon as those words were said, the crying stopped, and a now calm Cammy hugged her Master tightly. It hadn't been only his command for everything to be okay and for all of that to be considered over, but also his caring nature which had calmed her and reassured her that she was in the best place she could ever be, with a loving and caring Master and sisters. How she wished her former sisters would had been that supportive to her.

She had no idea what destiny had in store for them.
