Alarms blared throughout the laboratory halls. A cacophony of sirens and shattering glass.

Out of breath but determined, the Dazzling Ninja was surfing around the laboratory with a weigh on her heart. The familiar place was already falling apart, but neither the experimental grounds nor the operation rooms's memories were the things weighing on her.

Despite her agitation, Ak-A Rappa made quick work of the "Ninja Enchantment" in the sealed detention room. There, she found the capsules where other ninjas like her were rested. Though only one of them was still glowing, she knew they would be the one to survive out of the bunch.

"Ak-A 2. The previous failed experiment. Great potential shown at first but failure to assimilate rules and obey orders. Multiple attempts at implanting a Memetic Virus to render them more docile. Cause of failure: Ak-A 3's influence. Subject's brain has assimilated her as the Memetic Virus. Current status: Awaiting Termination."

All nonsense in her eyes. How could she leave you behind? Ninja Initiate Nanko, as she used to call you before. Nankōfuraku, impregnable, a mind of steel refusing to be corrupted by any exterior disturbance. Yes, you'd be her greatest ally.

Promptly, Rappa dragged your pod with her into the Galaxy Rangers's spaceship that came to rescue her. After The Hunt came the wait. The pod opened, a dim glow emitted from the glass while you sat up. An unfamiliar place, but a face you hadn't forgotten.

"Osu! Ninja Initiate Nanko! I see you finally came to."

How many times had you told her not to call you that? She had dragged you out of the capsule without a second thought and brought you into another unfamiliar room. Clothes and accessories littered the ground and furniture in a chaotic fashion.

"This is where you'll choose your own Ninja uniform."

Her style had indeed changed from that monotone lab robe. Though you couldn't help but notice the stains still present on her body. Blood. And your nose, even after this long, didn't deceive you. It wasn't hers.
