Chapter 20: New Clone's On The Block

[Trackman281]

CHAPTER 20: NEW CLONE’S ON THE BLOCK

We hear the sounds of tables and chairs being smashed around, followed by glasses being broken and finally the sound of gunshots before Tina comes crashing through a swinging door and smacks right into a steel table. She quickly rubs her side before looking around and realizing she is now in a kitchen with all the chefs staring at her in both shock and fear.

“GET OUT OF HERE, GO, GO!” Tina shouts at them, when suddenly the door swings open and her attacker walks through.

“Gggrrr.......Cheap trick you little runt.” As her attacker pulls a dining fork out of her shoulder, revealing that it’s Ricochet.

“Well you know as they say, three times the charm.” Tina smirked reminding Ricochet that this is the third time she’s foiled her assassination contracts.

Ricochet see’s red and immediately goes for her sidearm again, but as she raises her gun, Tina grabs the top of the barrel with one hand then while holding onto it swings her body round using her free elbow to crack Ricochet in the jaw. Ricochet however still tries to wrestle the gun of Tina, but during the struggle, Tina manages to release the magazine causing to fall on the floor, she then manages to grab Ricochet by her hair and forces her face down on the steel table Tina herself had just crashed into. Tina then pops the remaining bullet in the chamber of the sidearm leaving before letting go and taking a step back.

Ricochet tosses the now useless sidearm away just as Tina grabs the railing above her head and attempts to kick Ricochet, but seeing this coming Ricochet grabs a pan from the side and smacks Tina in the ribs with it, causing her to fall on one of the kitchen worktops. Ricochet grabs a carving knife and attempts to stab Tina, but thinking quick Tina grabs a handful of flour and hurls it straight into Ricochet’s face, temporarily blinding her.

Ricochet stumbles back in annoyance and tries to wipe the flour out of her eyes, to which Tina responds with a firm punch straight into Ricochet’s stomach, Ricochets grunts in pain before swiftly opening up one of the kitchen’s fridge doors smacking Tina straight in the nose, she quickly follows this up by spearing Tina back first straight into a wall, Tina grabs a pot hanging above her and smacks it down straight on the back of Ricochet’s head before whacking her right in the left side of her face causing Ricochet to fall to the floor, without wasting any more time Tina jumps straight onto Ricochet’s back forcing all of her weight down on her, before quickly wrapping her wrists behind her back and slapping some hand cuffs over them.

“Got you......You’re under arrest.” Tina pants heavily.

“You coward, attacking me from behind, next time come at me face to face like a real woman.” Ricochet tries to provoke Tina.

But instead Tina just wipes the blood dripping out of her nose before hoisting Ricochet onto her feet.

“Come on, I’m taking you in personally.” Tina adds before escorting Ricochet out of the building.

On the way Tina’s phone buzzes, the protection contract assignment was a success and the credits have been funded to her account.

*************************************************************************************************************************

We see Tinker using a laser pen to cut open the latch on a window before sneaking inside, Tinker, Libido and BB have been assigned a contract by a wealthy woman who goings through a messy divorce with her now ex-wife, her ex wife is holding a fancy ball and the place is littered with both security guards and guests in fine outfits, they’re job is to sneak in and steal a white south sea pearl necklace, that’s AAAA quality and worth at least 460,000 credits.

“This is Tinker, I’m the building, next step acquire a disguise.” Tinker whispered to Libido and BB over her radio.

She didn’t have to wait long as the door to the room she had just snuck into opened and a female security guard walked in. She had tanned skinned, long light brunette hair in a pony tail, emerald green eyes, she was 29 years old and she was wearing black slingback shoes, dark blue trousers, white button up dress shirt with a dark blue dress blazer covering it.

“Nah, all clear up her, probably just the wind.” The guard said over her radio to the other security guards.

“Okay, now’s my chance.” Tinker whispered to herself in excitement.

Tinker put her hand into her pocket and pulled a drone that was made to look like bumblebee. She released her bee disguise drone and his flew right at the guard who had turned to walk away.

The bee disguised drone landed straight onto the guards belts and managed to quickly squeeze its way into the trousers where it quickly stung the guard right on her arse. But this was no ordinary sting as what this drone did was actually inject the guard with some powerful fast acting sleeping formula.

“OUCH! Damn bugs” The guard replied, but seconds afterwards the guard stumbled around for a few seconds before falling backwards onto the floor fast sleep, at this time the bee disguised drone crawled out of the guards trouser leg and hopped back into Tinker’s hand.

“Good work little buddy, looks like you really were a...........Pain in the guards arse.” Tinker couldn’t help but joke.

This time Tinker popped her little drone companion into her backpack before she grabbed the now unconscious guard by her ankles and dragged further into the room so they were completely out of sight.

Tinker checked the guards ID card just in case any of the guards tried to radio her by name, she found out her name was “Bethany”. Tinker unclipped Bethany shoes before removing them, she then unzipped Bethany’s trousers and slid them off her legs this was followed by her unbuttoning Bethany’s shirt before slipping it off of her along with her dark blue blazer. Its here we see that Bethany was wearing a teal blue padded bra and a pair of silver Brazilian panties.

Once Tinker got changed into Bethany’s uniform it was time to retrain Bethany herself, to which Tinker bent down and opened her back pack again.

“Ebony, Ivory, I need you girls.” Tinker whispered into her back pack.

Suddenly two droids that were outfitted to look like tarantula’s emerged from Tinker’s back pack. With this both the tarantula styled droids scurried over to Bethany, they then both used their webbing which was made up of an industrial strength type of restraint, one of them worked on Bethany’s lower body tying up her ankles and legs while the second one worked on tying up Bethany’s arms around her body. About a minute later Bethany was completely bound.

“Good work girls.” Tinker whispered as she peeled off a bit of tape and stuck it on Bethany’s lips as a gag.

The two tarantula droids scurried back into Tinker’s pack before Tinker herself dragged Bethany into a dark corner of the room and placed her back pack next to her so nobody would see. After this Tinker left the room and closed the door behind her.

“This is Tinker, disguise secured.” Tinker reported to her sisters as she made her way down a hallway.

*************************************************************************************************************************

Stasis, Mag and Marie are casually walking down one of the streets of heartfelt city, as their walking Stasis cracks open a can of Monster energy drink and proceeds to drink it all without stopping for air.

“Oh here go look, author of the year putting in branded products into his story, couldn’t you just say I drank an energy drink, you didn’t need to say it was specifically a Monster one, talk about deliberate product placement.” Stasis apparently feels the need to point out as she throws her empty can into a bin.

As the three sisters make their way to the end of the street, Stasis suddenly stops after seeing a very expensive premium quality leather jacket in a shops window.

“Don’t even think about.” Mag immediately butts in.

“But it looks, so classy, damn I’d look good in that.” Stasis imagines herself in the fine leather jacket.

“Please don’t Stasis, we don’t have the budget and besides we need to get the super market before the afternoon rush starts if we want to get all the best food.” Marie calmly points out.

“She’s right Stasis, come on let’s get moving yeah.” Mag adds.

Stasis turns around an starts to walk away in a huff before she suddenly notices a truck full of female soldiers pulls up outside one of heartfelt cities military outposts, Stasis then immediately notices all the female soldiers boots and has an idea.

“Not enough money, I think I can solve this issue. You girls go on ahead, I’ve got some bakery windows that need my attention” Stasis lies as a wicked scheme forms in her mind.

“Uuurrgghh........Five minutes Stasis and that’s all, we’ll be in the market and don’t take too long we’ll need your help carrying all the shopping home.” Mag reluctantly replies.

With this Stasis waits until Mag and Marie are out sight before she playfully skips towards the military outpost with a playful smile across her face.

*************************************************************************************************************************

Tina marches a struggling Ricochet down to her cell before opening the door and shoving her inside before closing the door itself, to which Ricochet immediately kicks it as hard as she can.

“God damn you, you know one of these days you’re going to slip up and when that day comes I’ll be the one pulling the trigger ending you once and for all Tina!” Ricochet shouts and Tina.

“Yeah, yeah I’ve heard it all before.” Tina replies as she walks away while Ricochet still shouts back.

As Tina walks down the wing towards the exit she realizes all of her enemies are together, while they maybe all locked in separate cells they are in the same wing none of the less.

“You......Hey Tina, you ever wonder how things got to be so bad here? I do, all the time, you see I don’t see these suffered criminals as responsible for this cities downpour, they’re just a reflection of our apathy, our greed, our fear and we look the other way things turn sour. Bury ourselves in our jobs, consume propaganda masquerading as entertainment, the message is always the same. Don’t think and don’t question, then what becomes of a society that’s given up? It rots, fills up with liars, cheaters and thugs. Uptown or downtown, the CEO in the suit is no better than the guy selling drugs on the corner. They’re both doing whatever it takes to get ahead, never mind the cost!” Annie Keys shouts out at Tina as she walks passed.

“Annie Keys, I see they locked you in here to be forgotten about, can’t have crazed anarchists out roaming the streets now can we.” Tina briefly stops to reply to Annie Keys before walking away, leaving Annie Keys to curse Tina’s name as she walks away.

Tina then hears another familiar voice.

“There you are my little fire fly, come fluttering back to me like a moth to a flame, you can send as many of your little goons as you want to try and throw me of the scent, but it’ll never work your always the one I want Tina and want to see you burned!” Seraphim calls through her cell door.

“Way you got out and when?” Tina said immediately realizing what Seraphim was talking about.

“Some non-believer called Blink, but you are still the ashen one to me Tina and one of these days the flame of reckoning will cast you down and have me rise like a phoenix from the ashes, they are litter the sky with fire as the scent of napalm fills the air, cleansing your lungs before I burn you down to the ground before you see the beauty of the flame itself.” Seraphim barked at Tina.

“God you need help, but I really must thank Blink at some point.” Tina said to Seraphim before walking away, once again leaving Seraphim to spout out her nonsense all aimed towards Tina, but Tina just rolled her eyes and kept of walking.

Tina got to the exit of the wing when she heard another voice behind her.

“Hello Tina, long time no see.” The voice said.

Tina froze for a moment as her eyes widened, she recognised that voice anywhere.............Kuebiko.

*************************************************************************************************************************

Libido was still outside the building and she was carefully watching all the security guards hoping to find one who wonder off alone, several moments later and one of the female security guards foolishly decided to do a perimeter sweep all alone.

This guard had white skin, dark brown hair with blonde highlights going through, she also had her hair tied back in a pony tail, she had pale blue eyes and uniform was exactly the same as Bethany’s from before, according to her ID card attached to her trousers her name was “Stephanie”.

Libido waited patiently with her whip ready in hand as Stephanie casually made her way over to the bushes Libido was hiding in, moments later Stephanie suddenly felt tight as Libido’s whip was now wrapped her waist trapping her hand by her hips in the process, then with one of flick of her wrist her whip suddenly spun back to her with Stephanie still wrapped in the middle of it, Libido then immediately pounced on the already wrapped up Stephanie before placing her other hand over Stephanie’s mouth.

“Ssshhh.” Libido whispered.

She then pressed a purple button on the bottom of her whip and small canister of knock out gas was released out from the tip of the whip and straight into Stephanie’s face, knocking her out cold.

“Aaahh perfect.” Libido said to herself as she rolled Stephanie out of her whip so she get to her clothes.

Libido quickly stripped Stephanie of her uniform, she was trying her hardest not kiss Stephanie anywhere on her body as she made a promise to her sisters to try and restrain herself when she was on missions. Once Libido was done we see Stephanie is wearing a bright pink plunge bra and pair of dark red panties with the cartoon character “Pucca” dotted all over them.

Libido quickly pulled out a thick roll of tape and quickly tied Stephanie up, securing her ankles, her thighs, her wrists and her arms before she quickly peeled a bit off to gag her with. To further remove herself from temptation she dragged Stephanie’s near naked body deep into the bushes and concealed her.

“Okay, there out of sight and out of mind.” Libido said to herself as she got changed into Stephanie’s uniform. Once she was changed she stepped out of the bush and started to make her way to the front of the building.

However as she was walking around the side of the building she suddenly felt a hand wrap over her mouth.

“Mmmpphh.” She muttered as Libido herself was suddenly pulled into the bushes where she was pulled to the floor and a female figure sat on her waist.

“Okay, I don’t want any trouble just strip out of your uniform and it won’t get ugly and I..............Wait what.” Libido’s attacker turned out to be Blink.

“Oh hey cutie........Wait are you trying to mug me for my uniform.” Libido said realizing what was going on.

“Ermmm........Maybe........What are you doing here?” Blink asked trying to quickly change the subject.

“Oh my sisters and I are here to get a pearl necklace, is that why your here?” Libido responded trying to not get aroused at having Blink pin her the floor then getting on top of her.

“Hhhmm, no I’m actually here was a Faberge egg that’s worth thousands, it’s not for me it’s for my client who seems to be this wealthy woman going through one hell of a messy divorce with her ex wife.” Blink explained.

“Aaahhh no way, that’s our client too, but obviously we’re after something else...............Hey seeing as how I’m playing the role of the capture guard and your playing the infiltrator, how you show me how intimidating you can be if I don’t listen to your instructions, you can start by slowly unbuttoning my shirt while kissing my neck.” Libido tried to trick Blink.

“Oh that’s right, you’re the horny one of the bunch aren’t you.” Blink said immediately getting off of her.

“Tell you what, how about a temp truce, seeing as how we both want different things, we help each other get what we want, don’t get in each other’s way, then we can all get paid and we all win, do we have a deal?” Blink said quickly realizing that it’s better if they work together and not fight with each other for a change.

“Alright it’s a date.” Libido replied.

“Deal......You say, it’s a deal.” Blink said.

“Oh I know exactly what I said.” Libido winked at Blink.

“Uh-huh, well look you apparently took the last female guards uniform, so if you go in and open the window for me on the third floor then I can swoop in from there and please tell your other sisters about this temporal truce as well, I don’t want to get sucker punched when we get inside.” Blink informed Libido as she got out from behind the bushes.

“Don’t worry I got this and besides, it’s me your talking to.” Libido said as she hurried to the entrance.

“That’s what worries me.” Blink whispered to herself.

*************************************************************************************************************************

Stasis leapt over the military outposts fence and snuck around the cabins, it didn’t take her long to find what she was looking for, she found a group of five female soldiers all aged between 19 – 24 years old, they all had basic green camo trousers, caps, jackets with dark green shirts underneath and they all had jet black combat boots on. Three of the women were white skinned, with two of them having black hair while the third had blonde hair, one of the woman had light brown skin with curly light brown hair and the fifth woman was Asian and had dyed her hair to a light shade of brown. All five of the women has their neatly tied back into a bun and awaited their commanding officer who was still inside the cabin.

Stasis knew what she had to do, she quickly slipped in through the back door of the cabin and saw the squads leader. A Staff Sergeant who had black skin and medium length black hair, she was wearing the exact uniform as her squad outside except that her jacket was naturally supporting her staff sergeant stripes.

Because Stasis was useless in hand to hand fights she just immediately loaded one of green knock out balls in her slingshot and gave a faint whistle so the sergeant would turn around, when the sergeant did she was instantly hit square in the face with the green ball as it exploded realising its knock out gas and sending the sergeant off to dream land.

Stasis instantly locked the cabin’s door and got to work on the sergeant, she un-laced and removed her boots before slipping her out off her trousers, her jacket and her shirt before helping herself to her cap in the process. Stasis checked the sergeant’s jacket, she didn’t know what her first name was but her last name was apparently “Brady”. It also here we see sergeant Brady is wearing a standard military issued green bra and dark grey panties. Stasis found some zip ties that had been stashed away in one of the boxes under the desk to which she used to zip tie sergeant Brady’s ankles and wrist together, she found a box of tissues on one of the desks and scrunched a load up into a ball so she could use them a makeshift gag, to finish up she dragged sergeant’s Brady herself under one of the desks so she couldn’t be seen. With her out of the way Stasis quickly got changed into her uniform before unlocking the cabin door and going out to meet her squad.

As Stasis emerged the five woman immediately stood to attention.

“This is cool.” Stasis whispered to herself.

“GOOD MORNING VIETNAM........Hahaha, couldn’t help myself, *clears her throat*. Good morning soldiers, I am sergeant Brady and you fine lovely ladies have the privilege of having my good self today, so I’d thought we start with a warm up........With a twist.” All the soldiers looked at each other in confusion.

“The twist that today we are going to be taking a lovely jog through that woodland area just behind, now along the way I will firing these green balls at you and the last solider standing wins, now don’t worry there harmless, it won’t even you, just a little tap and that’s it, think of it as a game of tag.” Stasis said.

“But sergeant what’s the point of..........”

“DO NOT QUESTION ME GIRL!” Stasis immediately shouted at the soldier putting her back in line.

“Now any questions?” The soldiers looked at each other confused again by Stasis’s contradicting statement.

“Good, now double time it ladies.” Stasis said as she immediately loaded a green ball into her sling shot.

The five soldiers immediately started to sprint through the woodlands, but one by one Stasis knocked them all out until only the light brown skinned soldier was standing.

“Well it appears I’m the last one sergeant!” She proclaimed.

“So you are and your rewards is that you get the knowledge that I’m about to get a fine new leather jacket.” Stasis said proudly.

“Wait what......HHUUKK.” But it was too late as Stasis shot her with a final green ball, knocking her out.

Stasis dragged all five of the soldiers and placed them in a circle around a tree, then she headed back to the outpost and grabbed a long length of rope which she used to tie the soldiers up around the tree, she proceeded to gag them all with more makeshift gags before turned her attention to her real prize.

Stasis bent down and removed all the soldier combat boots, once she had removed the last soldiers boot she examined them, brushed them with one of her hands and said to herself.

“Yeah, these will make me enough credits.”

Stasis looked down at all the soldier that have now lost their military boots and were all still heavily unconscious.

“Well it’s been fun ladies but I got to go.......Should have called this place a DE-boot camp.” Stasis jokes before she leaves with a bag filled with those unfortunate soldiers boots in.

For Stasis it was next stop a pawn shop.

*************************************************************************************************************************

Tina turned and gingerly approached Kuebiko’s cell door, as she got closer she felt cold, she knew that cells weren’t exactly warm but this was different, this was a dark, heartless cold of where all things light and good did not exist, she peered through a saw the room was virtually pitch black, just a sole light flickered in the centre with Kuebiko sitting on a chair under the sole light with her head facing downwards.

“I was hoping our paths would cross again, tell me, how are your sisters?” Kuebiko said in a hushed but deep tone.

“There fine, although what it’s got to do with you, I have no idea.” Tina said angrily.

“Good........So you just couldn’t resist coming to see how we all were could you, I mean after all we are your greatest.........Triumphs.” Kuebiko said raising her head still revealing her disfigured and corpse like appearance from before.

“You think you’re a triumph do you? You might want double check that theory of yours.” Tina said knowing Kuebiko would say something like this.

“Well look around, you are surrounded by all the women that brought you the most pain in your life, the ones that made your life a living hell, the ones who not only hurt you, but everyone else you supposedly care for..........Especially me. I mean I noticed of how whenever you let someone get close to you. Someone who loves you, someone who just want to be good with you..........They ALWAYS seem to die.........But here we are, violent, horrible, beings of pure evil who have done disgusting things and murdered so many innocents and here’s the best part.........WE ARE ALIVE.” Kuebiko taunts Tina.

“I know what you’re doing and it won’t work, not this time.” Tina tried to sound brave.

“I mean, you could of easily stopped us and made the world a safer place by killing us but no, instead you spared us, it’s almost like you want to break out and continue making the ones you love suffer just so we can give your life a sense of purpose. Is that it Tina, do we give you purpose, are we the distraction to which you focus all your attention too so you don’t have to focus on the memories of all the people you’ve failed..........Or do you sympathise with us, perhaps were not so different you and I, because if you must realize that even sometimes........Villains speak more truths than any hero does.” Kuebiko further taunts.

“I’m nothing like you, you’re a sick, twisted monster, to think I’m even in the same hallways as you makes me sick to my stomach.” Tina protests.

“And yet, here you stand.” Kuebiko smirks.

“You’re just lucky I’m out here.” Tina tries to threaten Kuebiko.

“You could remedy that, go knock out the guard, take her keys and her gun, unlock the doors and finish us once and for all.” Kuebiko points out.

“So I can be like you forget, I’m NOT A KILLER!” Tina protests.

“Oh really? Look behind you I think she might disagree.” Kuebiko replied.

Tina frowns but as she turns around she sees Theron, all bloodied, beaten and a massive hole in her stomach from where Tina accidently stabbed her, killing her before.

“Hi Tina, you look great, fancy going to get some ice cream, or maybe seeing a film?” Theron said.

Tina stepped back in shock and rubbed her eyes vigorously before opening them again, the hallucination of Theron had completely vanished. She swallowed hard and turned back to meet Kuebiko’s gaze.

“Clever trick, you’re stupid little fear gas.” Tina said smacking the cell door.

“But Tina.........I haven’t even moved, I didn’t even touch you.............Are you seeing people who aren’t really there? Ssssshhhhhh.......I wouldn’t shout that around here if I were you, you’re in the nut house after all hahahaha.” Kuebiko gloated.

Tina knew she wasn’t going crazy, she knew exactly what she saw.

“What.......How..........Who...........WHAT........Are you.” Tina said to Kuebiko.

“Me? I come from a land far, far away from here and place that is now knows as.........Amnesia City.........Because the world forgets it’s their and rightfully so too..............The city is big and has tall buildings, the buildings though are distorted as they bend down because of a corruption. The streets of the city are deserted as televisions and rubbish is scattered around, the city is dark as a giant transmission tower that emulates a blue light blocks out the sun.” Kuebiko explains.

“Okay B.S, no such place exists that’s all fake isn’t it.” Tina points Kuebiko obscure story.

“Is it..........It is wise to stay on the emptied streets and never go in the buildings themselves as the residents of Amnesia City, aren’t exactly themselves these days.......If you take my hint.” A faint smile spreads across Kuebiko’s disfigured face.

“Of course they do........Right enough of this, I’m out of here.” Tina said turning to leave.

“Tell Glitch I said hello.” Kuebiko quickly shouts out.

“Wait what did you say?” Tina said stopping in her tracks.

“Oh don’t me you didn’t know hahaha, haven’t you noticed, someone’s missing, honestly I’d thought you kept tabs on us all.” Kuebiko boasted once more.

Tina looked around and realized that Kuebiko was telling the truth, Glitch cell was empty, she quickly hurried over to have the security guards lets her out. Glitch wasn’t in her cell and Tina needed to know why this was.

*************************************************************************************************************************

Libido actually followed through with what she said she was going to do and before too long Blink was inside the building using a window that Libido had just opened for her, when she got in though she noticed she wasn’t alone as Tinker was standing with her.

“So you’re Blink huh, hhmm interesting.” Tinker said as this was her first time meeting her.

“Hey you’re not the one ate all my food last time are you?” Blink said pointing at her.

“Aahh, I see you’ve already met Stasis before too, well no, Tinker’s the name and creating drones is my game.” Tinker introduced herself.

“Tinker, Libido and Stasis.........God Tina’s sisters having some weird names.” Blink thought to herself.

“Well Libido’s told me everything and that’s fine, I accept your offer as tempt alliance, BB’s outside waiting for our signal, then she’ll secure our way out of here, I’ll stay and keep a look out, Libido, what say you are new partner here go find what were looking for yeah.” Tinker suggested.

“Good idea, come on cutie, the more alone time I get with you the better.” Libido said grabbing Blink’s hand.

“WAIT, wait........Who’s BB?” Blink asked.

“BB........Big Bertha........Our sister.” Tinker said with an *I can’t believe you needed to ask that* look on her face.

“Of course she is.........Ask a stupid question.” Blink said to herself.

Blink and Libido made their way through the upper corridors, until at last they finally came to the room they were looking for. Blink tried the door but realized it was locked.

“Hey keep watch.” She whispered to Libido.

While Libido kept watch, Stasis pulled out a hair pin and proceeded to use to pick the lock until she heard it click, the door was open. Both women went inside and came to face with a room full of expensive ornaments, painting and other items of interest. It didn’t take too long for Libido to find the necklace and Blink to find the Faberge egg, with their gathered items in hand they left the room, closing the door behind them.

“Tinker, we got the goods, begin exfil.” Libido whispered over her headset.

“Copy that, hey BB I’m coming to meet you out front, grab you and I a change of clothes will you?” Tinker asked BB.

Outside we see BB relaxing by a tree reading a book of all the different poems written by Edgar Allan Poe when she receives her message from Tinker.

“Copy that, leave it to me.” She responds.

BB makes her way round the back of the building where a van is unloading and loading bags of washing is parked, behind the van are two women wearing one size fits all purple cleaning outfits, they also dark grey caps on with brown work boots. One of these ladies has an Hispanic skin tone while the other has a white skin. The Hispanic lady has light brown hair which flows down to her shoulders and dark brown eyes, she’s 32 years old and is named Marcia. The white skinned woman had shoulder length fair brown hair with dip dyed blonde tips, her eyes are sapphire blue, she’s 28 years old and is named Tilly.

The two women have just finished unloading the last of the bags.

“Glad that’s over with, hey do you want a smoke?” Tilly said offering Marcia a cigarette.

“Nah, I don’t smoke, but thanks anyway.” Marcia said sitting next to Tilly.

Tilly removed her cap and brushed her hand through her hair while Tilly popped a cigarette in her mouth and pulled out her lighter. But before she could light her cigarette the light they were sitting under suddenly went really dark. Tilly looked turned round confusion, but when she looked behind her, both her eyes widened and her mouth fell open letting her unlit cigarette fall out of her mouth and onto the floor and standing behind them was BB.

With Tilly’s mouth still wide open in disbelief, BB quickly grabbed Tilly and Marcia by the collars of their overalls and slammed both women into each other, letting their bodies and their heads bonk into each other, knocking both women out instantly. BB then let go of both women letting their unconscious bodies land on the floor on top of one another.

“Sorry ladies, but I think I’ve had just walked up you and asked for your clothing, you might of taken it the wrong way.” BB said to both Tilly and Marcia who were very much out cold.

BB got to work and unzipped both women’s boots before unclipping and slipping both Tilly and Marcia out of their respective work overalls, BB made sure the take their caps in the process. It’s also here that we see Tilly was wearing a charcoal black demi-cup bra and a pair shocking pink hipster panties. While Marcia was wearing a bright yellow bandeau bra and peach orange boyshorts. With this BB grabbed a bag with clean washing inside and used some of the items such as towels or sheets to use as binds and gags.

She sat Tilly and Marcia up back to back, she wrapped their arms around one another’s before ripping a couple of sheets and tying up their arms around each others, then tied up their ankles before tying their bodies together, she then quickly ripped some more sheets and proceeded to gag both Tilly and Marcia, she made sure she only used the clean sheets and using the dirty sheets really didn’t feel right in BB’s mind.

Once this was done and both Tilly and Marcia were bound, gagged and out of the way. BB got changed into Marcia’s uniform, leaving Tilly’s for Tinker to wear, it was a bit of a squeeze on BB because of her size and width but she imagined Tilly’s uniform wouldn’t have fared much better either, so she just grinned and bared it.

“Tinker, our exit is secured meet me at the back when you’re ready.” BB relayed back to Tinker.

“Sound good, okay Ladies, let’s get out of here, meet you by the exit.” Tinker relayed back to Libido and Blink.

*************************************************************************************************************************

Stasis had just left the pawn shop and was counting the credits she had just gained, she was on her way for that leather jacket.

“Hey why I’ve got a minute I want to ask you something.” Stasis says with a raised eyebrow.

“How become you haven’t given your universe a name yet, I mean COME ON, you have such amazing stories written by extremely talented writers, such as..................Sisters In Arms, To Overthrow The Utopia, To Steal A Spacesuit and Pakal.............Then there’s you, come on, you just start with chapters without even given this universe a name.........Geez, lazy or what, oh and that’s another thing, you never even bothered giving this company we came from a name, it’s just........The Company......Ooohhh how creative.” Stasis rant appears to be cut short as she has now arrived at the shop for her new leather jacket.

“Hhhmm......Alright, you’re lucky I want this jacket badly, but this is over, we’ll talk about this later.”Stasis immediately goes inside and buys what she wants.

Stasis emerges from the store with her new jacket and looks at herself in the shop windows reflection.

“Wow, I look all that a bag of crisps.” Stasis said admiring herself.

With that Stasis hurries off to join Marie and Mag in the market.

*************************************************************************************************************************

Blink and Libido have made their way to the actual ball room itself and currently above on one of the upper levels, they look below and see all the women attending are wearing dresses from only the finest and most lavishing silks.

“Okay, we are not getting passed all these people unnoticed, guess you are I need a change of clothes.” Blink suggested to Libido.

Libido looked around and nodded in approval. But before they were about to start planning out a strategy of how to lure to women away from the crowd, it seems their answer was already heading their way. Two women, one with white skin and one with black skin were making their way towards them. The white skinned women had a long strapless crimson red with grapefruit pink trimmings, she had long flowing black hair, dark brown eyes, crimson red high heels garnished with silver diamonds, she had a hand held fan she using to cool herself off. She was 30 years of age and named Chloe.

The black skinned woman was wearing a long lemon yellow strapless dress, which had fine gold finishing’s at the end, she too had high heels which were mustard yellow and also adored with diamonds, she had short-ish black hair with dark brown eyes, she was 29 years old and was name Sian, although their names wouldn’t matter to Blink or Libido.

Blink quickly tried a couple of doors next to her noticed that one of the rooms was completely empty, before a very wicked idea crossed her mind.

“Hey Libido, want to see something that will absolutely blow your mind?” She said.

“Ooohh, go on then.” Libido replied with glee.

Sian and Chloe walked together with their arms locked around each others as most close female friends do in these sorts of gatherings, but once they drew near, Blink immediately stood in their way, twirling her gold medallion.

“Watch my pretty coin of gold and you will do as you are told.” She rhymed.

Both Sian and Chloe immediately stopped in their tracks and fell into a trance.

“Now then ladies come with me, let’s go into this empty room so no one will see.” Blink once again rhymed.

Chloe and Sian followed Blink into the room where Libido quickly shut the door.

“Now ladies because I can’t be bothered to rhyme anymore, when I snap my fingers you shall remain in my trance but you will also strip out of those lovely dresses, right the way down to your bras and panties.” Blink said.

Libido’s eyes opened wide with astonishment as when Blink snapped her fingers both Chloe and Sian starting stripping out of their dresses, once they had stripped we see that Chloe was wearing a dusky pink thong with dusky pink suspenders and she was wearing a lavender coloured push up bra. It’s here we also see that Sian was wearing golden silk tanga panties accompanied with a golden silk wonder bra.

“That’s awesome, so how do we tie them up.” Libido looked around the room.

“We don’t, watch this, it’ll annoy the hell out of you.” Blink smirked.

“Now ladies when I snap my fingers again, you will not be able to keep your hands off of each other, you’ve both been hiding your feelings for each other for far too long and now because your alone together and in your underwear, you just can’t control it, you will start by holding onto each other and making out passionately before after a while you’ll.......Shall we say, get closer and closer with each other, this will have for about four hours then you will both wake up from my trance.” With that Blink clicked her fingers.

When Blink clicked her fingers both Chloe and Sian immediately hugged onto each other and starting snogging. Libido on the other hand was staring with her mouth wide opened as she couldn’t believe something this actually existed.

“PLEASE.......PLEASE..........You have to teach me your ways.” She pleaded to Blink.

“No.......I really don’t, now come on get changed, we got to go.” Blink said.

“But.......But.....But........AAHH SO UNFAIR!” Libido said blowing her fringe out of her eyes as she gave one last look at Sian and Chloe who getting very passionate with each other.

Blink got changed into Chloe’s clothes but Libido got changed into Sian’s clothes, once they were changed they left the room to give Chloe and Sian some privacy and made their way down the stairs.

“Your pure evil you know that.” Libido whispered to Blink, still annoyed she won’t teach her.

“See, told you it would annoy you, consider that payback for breaking into my flat the other week.” Blink said justifying her actions.

Blink and Libido made their way to the back door and knocked four times, BB opened the door and quickly let them through before closing the door behind them.

“Geez you’re a big one aren’t you.” Blink said upon seeing BB for the first time.

“Nice to meet you too.” BB said with a smile as she’s used to people being taken back at her sheer size.

Tinker had now gotten changed into Tilly’s uniform as was waiting in the driver’s seat of the van.

“Hop in the back, this is how we’re getting out of here.” Tinker said tapping on the van’s roof.

Once Blink and Libido has climbed in the back of the van, BB shut the door and got into the passenger’s seat. Tinker started the engine and made their way to the gate, the security guards at the gate simply waved them rough to leave and off they went.

Once they were several miles down the road and back into one of the Heartfelt City districts, Tinker pulled the van over and let them get out. Libido revealed that she had the pearl necklace stashed in her bra and likewise Blink and the Faberge egg, afterwards Blink shook hands with Tinker and BB to which a very salty and still very annoyed Libido shook Blink’s hand.

“You know next time I see you we will probably be fighting right.” Blink added before she left.

“Yeah but that’s then, this is how and right now both parties are going to get paid, sounds like a good day to me.” BB said with a cheery tone.

“True, see you round.” With that Blink walked off one way into the city while the sisters walked the other way, tomorrow they’d be rivals and enemies again, but for today they all left on good terms.

**************************************************************************************************************************

Anna and a group of executives were being escorted down a hallway by Pierce and several of his soldiers before they stopped at a door. Pierce had a bandage over his nose indicated he suffered a broken nose during the riots from a few weeks back.

“That’ll be all Pierce, you and your men can wait outside.” Anna instructed.

“Yes Ma’am.” Pierce said as he got the door for Anna and the other executives.

Anna and her executives entered the room and lined in a very orderly fashion were eleven clones all appear to be 19, the same age as Soph.

“Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you our finest and most perfect batch of infiltrators, these women are the official second batch, we fine tuned their genetics, they do not share individuality, they live only to serve me, don’t you ladies.” Anna said with a cocky smile across her face.

The eleven infiltrators saluted a followed up with “Yes Ma’am.”

“You see, their perfect, completely loyal to us, they’ve been programmed to not let silly things like morals get in their way, they are the pinnacle of our achievements and we’ve trained them and raised them to believe that even things like nicknames are forbidden in this company, they’re designation numbers are the only things they’ll ever need when it comes to a name. Oh and don’t worry about the one they called Soph, there always one bad apple in every batch, I’m just pleased we found this out, this early on.” Anna smugly says.

“But what about these phantoms, if they get wind that a second batch of infiltrators exist here, you know they’ll come back.” One of the executive rightfully points out.

“Oh don’t worry, this second batch will not be deployed yet, oh no, first we send our clone troopers after the phantoms to wipe them out, mass casualties are expected and to be honest they are acceptable as let’s face it, our troopers and their commander only really bring in the chump change around here, it’s our infiltrators that really bring in the BIG paydays.” Anna says with money on her mind.

“I hope your right about this Anna, because my holidays are due and I don’t want resort to only spending FIVE weeks in the Caribbean when I always spend SIX weeks.” Another executive gloats.

“Have no fear, your five star luxury resorts have all been paid for and for the full six weeks, courtesy our companies accounts of course.” Anna walks up to one of the infiltrators and rubs her cheek with her hand.

“See, they don’t even make eye contact unless I order them too, they are perfect, so the plan is, through wave after wave of our little troopers at the phantoms until they’re all dead.........Tell the commanders and the clone troopers some sob story about the will and the good of the company, those simple minded grunts will believe anything we tell them, then when the dust settles, we’ll unveil our second batch of infiltrators and watch the money flow in, our pockets will be full and our investors will be pleased.” Anna says with grin to all of her executives.

The other executives all seem to like the idea as they all smile and nod their heads at the sounds of their pockets overflowing with money.

“Now then, won’t you all join me in the penthouse suite for some coffee or bourbon? I’ll have Pierce and his soldiers bring us up a load.” Anna says forever being the great host to her executives.

END OF CHAPTER TWENTY

[esercito sconfitto]

thanks for the DE-boot Camp! thanks! thanks!

[Trackman281]

I was hoping you'd enjoy that scene, your very welcome Esercito.

[meditions142]

Thanks for the post Trackman! You had to know there would be parts I loved!

What a fantastic scene with Bethany. Wonderfully funny of having the bee drone slip into the guard's pants and sting her butt. And the image of Bethany stumbling around before falling to the floor unconscious is so great. The spider drones tying her up were also terrific.

Then there was the wonderful scene of Libido taking out Stephanie. I love the idea of Libido tying her up with the whip and then covering the helpless guard's mouth to keep her quiet. Then that wonderful whip releases sleep gas which puts poor Stephanie to sleep.

And of course i love Lobido's working hard to suppress her urges and even dragging Stephanie's body deeper into the bushes to avoid temptation.

Also, loved the knockout of Marcia and Tilly. I have always been a fan of the "bang their heads together" method to knock someone out.

[tirepanted3]

A lot of familiar villains returning in this chapter - Ricochet, Keubiko, potentially Glitch. A great way to show continuity and develop the rogues' gallery in the series.

I enjoy the different ways the heroes obtain their uniforms and how those ways reflect their characters - Tinker with her drones, Libido with her whip. Adds variety and a sense of fun and personality to each mugging.

As usual, a lot of entertaining USB scenes, like Bethany getting stung and Marcia/Tilly having a little "meeting of the minds" . My favorite scene involved Stasis replacing the sergeant and forcing the female soldiers to follow her command. I'm amused when a heroine replaces an authority figure and uses her newfound power to lead other potential USB victims to do her bidding. A clever way to use the uniform hierarchy to one's benefit.

I admit I have mixed feeling about the way Stasis is constantly breaking the fourth wall - it blurs the believability of the characters and story - but I must admit she has good taste in USB stories. Thanks for the shout-out.

[Trackman281]

Meditions142 - Well I can't take all the credit as you were the one who gave me the inspiration to make Tinker's gadget's, even if you didn't know it and I hope to be able to create a few other neat gadgets as well for her to use, I'm pleased you enjoyed it.

Tirepanted - They'll probably never break out of jail again as after a while one might start question of how weak these security systems actually are if they keep breaking out, but I'll certainly have them pop up as cameos, they won't just fade away into obscurity.

I do try to mix things up with different takedowns and USB scene's and I try to cater for everyone's tastes, that way everyone gets something that they like, so I'm pleased to hear that I am doing well on that front so far.

Aaahhh yes the Stasis conundrum hahaha. I guess she was just having an off day and felt the need to nit pick, don't worry I'll give her some more challenging things to do in the next installment and that should keep her focused.

[rufusluciusivan]

If your story was a series on TV (anime or live-action), I would have said that chapter 19 would be the episode concluding an arc, and this chapter 20 is introducing a new arc perfectly. It's a good way to show that a period of time has passed, and to introduce the new situation and the new dynamics of our team of characters. Some would say that a 'filler chapter' is the easiest part of a series to write, but I think that it's the contrary, as they don't have the main plot to catch the reader's attention. And this chapter was masterfully executed, juggling between different storylines for three different flavours: action scene then tensed confrontation with former villains with Tina, classic infiltration with Tinker & Co, light-hearted comedy / murder of the fourth wall with Stasis (the weapon of the crime is an overload of references) - thanks for the reference by the way .

Speaking of catching the reader's attention. A nice little in medias res beginning, always a good tool to catch the reader's attention. Especially since I'm under the impression that it doesn't happen that often in USB stories: usually, they like to take the time to buid up the introduction (with a few details of lore, a little insight of the personality of the first victim, a mission biefing and so forth...). Which makes the occasional in medias res opening even more effective.

Nothing much to say about Stasis' or Tina's part. Stasis' fun little adventure at "deboot camp" was... well fun to watch. And I appreciated a lot the references to the previous antagonists, plus the little foreshadowing about the next antagonist, in Tina's part. My only regret would be that nobody ever seems able to verbally put Kuebiko down, but that's just my sheer hatred for this monster speaking.

Your trademark of futuristic gadgets returns once more, and with great effectiveness to provide us a good scene with Tinker's robo-bee and spider drones. Plus that perfect line after the bee stung! A pain in the arse indeed. Plus, 'spider webbing'-like restraints. Now, that's unheard of! Also appreciated the little detail of Tinker checking the ID of the woman in case she needs to use her name, a clever way to have an excuse to hear the guard's name and to make this scene stands out. Plus, it's just so logical! Then, for good measure, the guard is dragged and concealed out of the way. Well, I think you can easily guess which scene I appreciated the most...

I agree with meditions: I'll never get tired of the 'bang their heads together' takedown.

While I've never been a huge fan of Libido, I appreciated a lot what you did with her in this part. The whip-gadget is always cool to be seen in action, and you found an interesting (and logical in-universe) reason for her to try to suppress her urges. Plus, it's a little detail showing her bond with her sisters. Her interactions with Blink were top-notch: first how she actually longs to be mugged by Blink (I'll admit, this is weirdly funny and sexy at the same time), then their little team up. Plus, that's one interesting way for Blink to use her magic to neutralize two women after taking their clothes! A little kinkiness from time to time doesn't hurt... And her line about how it will annoy Libido was pitch-perfect.

In general, I really like the new dynamic introduced between Blink and the women of 'Team Tina': rivals, but not enemies. It will lead to interesting moments, for sure.

I agree with your idea of not breaking the bad guys out of jail again. While I enjoy a good old 'recurring villain' as much as anyone else, this kind of thing is what made me give up on comics as a whole. I mean, why would I be invested in Batman catching the Joker when I know that in the next issue the criminal is going to break out and kill other innocents again? It is, of course, a question of dosage. From time to time, it can be an effective tool to build up continuity. However, in my opinion, it quickly desensitizes the readers about the stakes, as if the heroes aren't able to put the criminals out of commission for good, why should the reader be invested in seeing them win as their victory is pointless anyway?

The teaser at the end is honestly making me wonder how everything will now turn out. With the Company and the Phantoms fighting each other, there's no way of telling who Tina and her friends will have to face to protect their newly-earned freedom! I'm betting on the Company though

I hope your right about this Anna, because my holidays are due and I don’t want resort to only spending FIVE weeks in the Caribbean when I always spend SIX weeks.

These rich people are so sassy, I think I'll give them a pass for their despicableness this time.

[Trackman281]

Rufusluciusivan - Thank you very much and one of your longest reviews of my work to date, so a double thanks is in order.

Well it is true I am very fond of my anime shows, as I just simply love them, does that make me a weeb?.......Well I don't care if it does, and if I'm a weeb then I'll gladly wear that badge with honour.

Stasis will always be that character that at times gives of the impression she's just come off a banana boat as she's as loopy as as a bowl of fruit loops. But then she can comes across as a sheer genius and come up with a masterful plan right out of the blue, so is she a secret genius or nuttier than a tub of peanut butter...............Some will say yes and some will say no, so I'll let you have your own opinions on it.

Kuebiko will always give this ominous and evil presence, but at times I believe she could be a necessary evil, the proper yang to Tina's ying, I also think that the reason nobody shuts her up is because as much as it absolutely painful and at times sickening to hear, I have to say...........She occasionally tells the truth, I get it nobody likes hearing the vile truth but it is what it is, Tina can't seem to bring herself to shut her up because well..........she always seems to be on to something with her monologues.

I like Tinker, now I've played around with her arsenal of gadgetry, she kind of reminds of that quiet and shy girl in college who's a secret tech head and has all these neat little gadgets, yeah I think that's the best way to describe her persona.

I remember people felt like Libido originally went a bit overboard with her lustful urges (the little minx), so naturally she needed to be toned down a bit, she made a promise to her sisters that while she's on the job she will play it down and stay somewhat focused, well that is until Blink shows up, Libido has an absolute crush on Blink and she fancies the pants off of her, Because the clones were never taught about feelings or emotions, Libido struggles greatly to show how she feels when she likes someone, so I think she resorts to basic primal urges of where in the jungle if one like's another one, they have sex, simple as that.............That's what Libido does.

Hahaha yes those rich executive's are an acquired bunch aren't they, just wanted to point out that no matter how bad things get, so long as their luxurious fat cat lifestyle is unaffected, then their cool with it. They remind of the type that you know, sit around at the high class country club and say things like......."So I said to them why pay the mortgage, I'll just throw this yacht away anyway mwahahaha." While they sip brandy and smoke expensive cigars.

Many thanks to you all.
