Up Until Then: GALS Version

In the office of Cy-Bo-Div, a.k.a. Cyborg Division, 4 officers were sitting in the table looking on the chief of Cy-Bo-Div.
"Man, can you believe this new chief over there?" Rie asked.
Satsuki answered, "I know.  He's way hotter than the last chief we had."
Chief Rei Otohata was sitting by the table, writing down the charts on his cadets, including the 4 sitting in front of him from 5 feet away.
"The last guy was such a drag," Satsuki replied in disdain, "This new guy has to be stone cold."
Rie boasted, "I mean, the guy is GL, but he has many letdowns on the 'looks scale'."
Aya got up from her seat and shouted, "What's wrong with his looks anyway?"
Aya blushed and sat back down.  The other girls looked on in shock.
Satsuki asked, "What's your problem, Cadet Hoshino?"
Aya said, "Oh… nothing."
Miyu then said, "Oh, Aya, you know much about Chief Otohata?"
Rei then called to the 4 cadets, "Can anyone get me some tea, please?"
Aya frantically got up and said, "I'll do it!"
Miyu, Rie, & Satsuki watched on, as Aya went to get some tea.  While she left through the door, Rie became a bit unimposing by it.
"I hate her," she said, "She's so new.  She's been here for weeks now, but it just isn't right being an errand girl for Chief Otohata."
"Of course, Miyu is worried about it," Miyu added.
Satsuki let out an evil sneer and said, "I think it's time we give her the 'Cy-Bo-Div' Welcome."

Rei continues to write down the sheets, he wonders about how he has the job.  He remembers how he got the job:
A mysterious guy comes in the record store where Otohata works at.
"Excuse me, are you Rei Otohata?"  The man asked.
Rei replied, "Yes.  Who are you supposed to be?"
"I represent a police force that works in the city," the man answered, "I would like you to take my place in Cy-Bo-Div."
"Cy-Bo-What?"  Rei asked, "Is this some kind of joke?"
"It's no joke."
The man takes off his hat, revealing as Oji Karasuma, the leader of Cy-Bo-Div.
"I requested a leave of absence after a horrible death of one of my soldiers, Officer Tenma Tsukamoto," Karasuma added, "And I was shocked by her demise."
"And what does this have to do with me?" Rei asked.
"You have no choice," Karasuma answered, "You were chosen to led Cy-Bo-Div by our board of directors."
"Uh, and who do I take charge to in you Cy-Bo-Div?"  Rei asked in very little sarcasm.
Karasuma tells Rei that Cy-Bo-Div is patrolled by female cyborgs in the district.  These girls that are fully cybernetic lead two different groups:  "Cy-Bo-Div" and "Cy-Bo-Ter".
Rei was not a bit amused and said, "Fine.  I'll do it, but you find me a job for Yuuya."
Karasuma agreed and gave Rei the job.
Rei was at the desk still writing down his worksheets and said under his breath in much disdain, "I really wish this beats running into Kotobuki again."

Meanwhile, in the kitchen, Aya was finishing up pouring some hot tea for Otohata.  Aya begins to run down the hall, bringing the tea for Otohata.
Aya remembers how she joined Cy-Bo-Div along with her friends.  She remembers that she was picked up by Miyu, after an accident.  She suddenly had amnesia from the accident, and did not remember what happened.  Since then, she has been working for the Division for 3 weeks now.  As of now, she tries to win the heart of the ice cold Chief Otohata by bringing him tea.

As Rei watches Aya come closer, Rei begins to write a circle on her worksheet for "Tea Serving".  But as Aya was about to reach for Rei, Satsuki drops an empty can of juice on the floor.  The can rolled onto the floor in front of Aya.  She steps on the can, without looking, and tripped and fell to the floor, spilling the tea.  Rei, a bit unhappy as usual, writes an "X" on Aya's worksheet.
Satsuki smiles at Aya and said, "Tough break, kiddo.  You spilled the tea."
Aya then looked embarrassed saying, "Sorry… I guess I got a bit clumsy there."
"Oh, don't be ridiculous," Satsuki said, "You can always try again.  Oh, and bring me some tea, too."
Aya gets up, and heads back to the room.

Aya, however, remembers the can, and suddenly realizes that Satsuki did that on purpose.  In anger, she poured two cups of tea on the tray, but then used a rag of dirty water and squeezed out the water into Satsuki's cup.
"She think she can treat me that way by throwing a can of juice by me," Aya shouts wrathfully, "I'll show you!!!"
Aya suddenly stops and said, "Whoa?  What happened?  Did I just let myself explode?"
She then suddenly smiles and said, "Oh, well.  I guess it was nothing.  I better bring the tea to Chief Otohata."
Aya rushes back to the office with the tea carefully on the tray she's holding.
Aya returns to the office with the tea, but Rie had a plan to scare her.
"Hey, Aya," Rie shouted, "Your uniform's unbuttoned wrong."
"What?"  Aya said in shock.
Aya stops on one foot with the tray still standing keeping the cups of tea intact.  The girls began to applaud; but after the applause, she fell down dropping the cups of tea.
Rei looked on, and marked another "X" on Aya's sheet.
Aya, nearly in tears, started to shake a bit, as Rie giggled behind her back.

Aya, livid beyond belief, started to make three cups of tea for Otohata, Satsuki, and Rie; however, she grabbed the same dirty rag and squeezed the dirty water into Satsuki & Rie's tea.
"My uniform wasn't unbuttoned," Aya said in much anger, "And what the hell is she thinking of laughing at me like that?!  Bitch!  Bitch!  Bitch!!!"
Aya starts to pant after pouring the water, but then stops in a surprise look, "Not again!  What just happened?"
Aya looks on in disbelief, "Is this because of the memory loss I had?  It must be it."
Aya forgets about it and grabs the tray of tea saying, "Oh, well.  Third time's a charm.  I hope Otohata-kun likes my tea."
Aya runs back to the office, but as she approaches Otohata's desk, she sees Miyu lying on the desk in front of Rei.
Aya lets out a scream of fear, as the tray was sent flying to the air.
Aya, shaken up, said to Miyu, "Not you, too, Miyu.  I thought we were friends."
Miyu started to look sad and said to Aya, "I'm sorry.  To be honest, Yamato-kun is the only person for me.  Besides, Miyu was forced to by the others since this is all a part of a traditional phase."
Aya then stood in shock, "So… this was all… a…"
Aya began to cry and started to run off.
"Aya, wait!"  Miyu shouted, trying to bring Aya back.
Aya began to run down the hall with tears in her eyes.  She said to herself, "Those girls are so mean!  This must be the Cy-Bo-Div hazing I've heard about!"
As Aya left the office, the tray of tea falls by Otohata's hands with all 3 cups still in place; Otohata grabs his cup.
"Aya did pretty well bringing me some tea," he said, "That deserve some credit."
Miyu looked at Rie & Satsuki, who were still amused by Aya's actions.
"You two are so mean!  What gives you the right to hurt her?"  Miyu shouted.
"What?"  Satsuki replied, "We were just having fun.  It is tradition."
Rie added, "Yeah.  Don't be so upset about it."
As Miyu was about to scold them, a girl with her blazer draped over her shoulder enters the office.  The girl had bleached blonde hair with a red streak on her; it was Ran Kotobuki.
"What the hell do you two think you are doing?"  She asked to all 3.
"Miyu can explain," Miyu answered, "They were giving Aya the Cy-Bo-Div hazing!"
"We're sorry, Ran," Rie said in a sad look, and points at Satsuki, "It was her fault!"
"Haven't I taught you three gals anything?" Kotobuki proclaimed, "Never disrespect your fellow gals; especially your fellow Cy-Bo-Div cadets.  That's an ironclad rule!"
Satsuki & Rie looked disappointed and then apologized to Ran & Miyu.
"Miyu's sorry, as well," Miyu added, "I was a part of this whole thing, too."
"It's not your fault, Miyu," Kotobuki said, "You have been following tradition, but you should've known better."
Rei then said to Kotobuki, "Spoken like a true Gal."
"Oh, like you talk that way, Chief Otohata," Kotobuki said.
Kotobuki snatches Otohata's tea.  "I'll have a word with Aya as soon as I can find her.  But don't you think you should go talk to her?"
"I will, but why don't she tell her herself?" He asked.
She then told the other 3 to come with her to make things right.  She sips the tea a little bit, and then starts to spit it out.
"EW!!!  What the hell is this?"  She shouted, "This tea is horrible!"
Kotobuki throws the cup of tea to the air and marches out of the office.  As she leaves, she said to the others, "If you want to make this right, you should go apologize to Aya.  Got it?"
"Yes, Cadet Kotobuki," All 3 girls said dejectedly.

Meanwhile, in the other side of the office, a cup of tea (The same tea that Kotobuki threw) flew right onto Yuuya Asou's head.  The tea was pouring on his head.  He picks up the cup from his head and said, "Ran's tea is so hot."
Yuuya runs "Cy-Bo-Ter" or "Cyber Terrorist Division", which is like "Cy-Bo-Div".  He's with Mami Honda and Harue Kudo who are sitting by the table with Yuuya.
"You want one, Yuuya?"  Mami asked.
"Want what?"  Yuuya asked.
"She means a 'Cy-Bo-Div' ritual," Harue answered, "That's what she meant."
"Yuuya," Mami pleaded, "Please try to understand.  After seeing Aya-ppe getting hazed, we thought you'd be getting one, as well."
Yuuya got up and shouted in anger, "Just because I'm new here, doesn't mean I'd get embarrassed again!  And how dare you talk to your superior officer like that?  You're members of Cyborg Division, not a sorority group!  Grow up, why don't you?"
Yuuya's shouting causes the rest of the officers and cadets to notice the uproar.
"Uh, Second Place," Harue said, "You're making a scene."
Mami looks on in disbelief, "Yuuya, don't be so mean."
Yuuya then said, "I'm sorry, I must've lost my cool there."
He then looked at Rei, who's still doing the reports.  He then remembered how he joined the group:

"Huh?  Cy-Bo-Div?"  Yuuya asked.
"Do you want to join or not?"  Rei asked, "I'm not forcing you, I'm just saying that you need a break from being famous."
Yuuya then answered, but looks a bit upset, "I wish I could, but I promised Mami-rin to spend time with her.  If I don't go to Ikebukuro soon, she'll throw a fit."
"Worry about your girlfriend later, Yuuya," Rei said in his own matter, "What's more important, your career or your future?"
"Will Ran be there anyway?"
"I seriously doubt it."
"Good.  Because wherever she goes, Mami-rin throws herself in the fire of battle."
"Things never change whenever Kotobuki gets into a feud with Honda."
Yuuya concedes to Rei and stated, "I'll do it just to avoid the war games between Ran & Mami-rin."
Yuuya continues to look at Rei in the office.  Yuuya gets up and started to bellow, "This is not fair!!!  Have I been screwed out of my future???"
Mami grasped Yuuya by the head and cried, "Yuuya, please don't make a scene!"
As Mami continues to grasp onto Yuuya, who has his screams muffled, Harue watches in disgust.

Meanwhile, Aya was on the roof, watching the view of the city.  She still remembers what the girls did to her, and thought to her if she's been treated wrongly.
"I feel like I've been used lately," Aya said in sadness, "All I wanted was for Otohata to understand me."
Kotobuki arrives at the rooftop.  She said to Aya, "Are you okay, Aya-ppe?"
Aya turns around and sees Ran in the rooftop doorway.
"Ran," Aya said.
"Hey, there," Kotobuki said as she winked at Aya, "What's wrong?"
Kotobuki sits down by Aya on the rooftop.  Aya explained what happened to her.
"And well, all of a sudden," she continued, "I started to blow a fuse; I even almost regained my memory of an accident I had."
"I see," Kotobuki said, "That explains a lot from you, Hoshino."
"What do you mean?  I'm just a smart nobody."
"Hey, now; that's not the Aya Hoshino I know.  The Aya I know is always cheerful, and whether or not she has this trait, she always has the kind of happiness that brightens the world."
"Yeah, but it's just an act."
"Act or not, you're just getting used to being known around here.  Besides, there was someone I know that had that same problem."
"Who?"
Ran tells the story about how she partnered with Tenma Tsukamoto:

Ran & Tenma chased down a bad guy; the thief was a large person with a dark red jacket and a blue Mohawk.
"Stop right there!"  Tenma shouted.
The thief stopped at a dead end.  Ran & Tenma arrives at the scene, but the thief sneaks off behind them.
"She's getting away!"  Tenma cried.
"Sneaky little bastard!  Get him!"  Kotobuki shouted.
The thief found his escape car and went inside; however, Tenma finds him first and pointed a gun at the thief.  Kotobuki arrives at the moment and grabs the thief.  The thief tries to escape, but Kotobuki held on tight.
"Good job, Tsukamoto!"  She said, giving a thumb up.
"Thanks.  It's nice to help side with the daughter of the Police Dynasty."
But as Kotobuki was about to slap the cuffs on the thief, he pointed his gun at Tenma and fired.  The bullet hits Tenma in the midsection causing her to fall.
"Tsukamoto!"  Kotobuki shouted.
She bashed the thief on the head with her elbow, making him unconscious.  She then rushed over to Tenma, who is bleeding on her shirt.
"Officer… Kotobuki…" Tenma said weakly, "I'm sorry."
"It's okay, you didn't mean to," Kotobuki said, as she started to get teary-eyed.
"I guess I was a clumsy ox after all," Tenma continued, "I really have no heart at all."
Kotobuki smiles and said, "No, you were great as an officer.  I will say this; no matter what, you will always have a smile on your face that brightens this world.  So hang in there, kiddo."
Tenma smiles, and then coughs up a little blood.

Kotobuki continues on, "Hours later, Tenma was taken to a local hospital, and was treated for her injury.  She died 3 hours later.  The former Chief resigned his post and gave the job to Otohata.  Though, I'll never understand why Second Place & Mami-rin came along as well.  I think the real reason is that he loved Officer Tsukamoto; but I guess we'll never know."
Aya then asked, "What's that got to do with me?"
"Like you," Kotobuki replied, "Tenma started as a new face.  Just like you, she was hazed rudely, and just like you, she was treated wrong.  But, she was taught that no matter what, she'll always have a smile upon everyone's face."
Just then, Miyu & Rie appear by the doorway.
"Aya, we're sorry we treated you this way," Rie said, "Can you ever forgive us?"
Satsuki gets pulled by Miyu and was forced to apologize to Aya.  Satsuki apologizes, but said it in an insincere matter.  However, Aya forgive everyone.
"Thank you, you guys," Aya said, as she began to get all weepy, "You guys are great."
Aya began to cry, as Miyu, Satsuki, & Rie began to comfort her, while Ran watches on.  Meanwhile, Otohata walks in and watches on.  He suddenly had a heart for Aya.  Kotobuki shoves Aya in front of Rei with a grin and said, "Go on, Aya.  You're brave enough to talk to him."
Aya looked nervous as she tries to say her words to Otohata.
"Chief Otohata-kun…" Aya said in a nervous state.
As Aya & Rei were by the rooftop, Yuuya watches on in amazement.
"You know," he said, "That Aya does look familiar."
Harue then said, "Chief Asou!  Will you get back to your post?"
Mami then said to Harue, "Will you leave him alone?  He's just looking out for Rei."
Yuuya sits down and says, "Thanks, Mami.  You know Rei & I have been through a lot together.  And well, he's the reason I got this job."
"Me too, Yuuya," Mami added, "When I saw you coming by saying you need to be in Cy-Bo-Div, I decided to come with you."
Mami then remembers how she joined Yuuya:

"What?"  Mami cried as she was with Yuuya in Ikebukuro, "You mean you're leaving me?"
"I'm sorry, Mami-rin," Yuuya pleaded, "But I won't be long.  This is pretty much a short term contract.  Besides, I won't leave you.  So, please wait for me."
Mami then grabbed Yuuya's arm and said, "In that case, I'll join you side by side!  Cy-Bo-Div needs a lovey-dovey couple like us."
Yuuya starts to stammer as Mami drags him to the Ikebukuro Station.
"It's decided then!"  Mami shouted cheerfully, "Mami Honda & Yuuya Asou will be going to be with Cy-Bo-Div!  But first, we'll head to that Sushi place I like."
Yuuya, in tears, started to mutter some words.

"See?"  Mami continued, "I know you would never leave me in a lifetime."
Yuuya started to scream, "YOU DRAGGED ME INTO IT!!!  DON'T LUMP ME INTO THIS BULL--!!!"
Just then, then siren went off.  Everyone heard the alarm and went off.
"What the hell is going on?"  Satsuki asked, as the group enters the control room.
The group arrived in the control room, with a group of girls, who look the same, typing on the keyboards.  All the monitors say, "ALERT!"
"We have a serious Code: RED Situation here!  Someone has entered the mainframe!"  The intercom said.
"I knew it would be him again," Otohata said, "We're ready for him this time."
He turned to the girls and said, "All right, girls!  Let's move out!"
"Yes, sir!"  All the girls shouted and salute to Otohata.
"Hey, wait a minute!"  Yuuya protested, "That's my Division!"
The girls rushed to their entrances of the digital area.  They all slide down into their neon-colored costumes.  Ran, Miyu, Satsuki, Aya, Rie, Mami, & Harue, in order, fall in line; they arrived at a virtual field.
"Count off!"  Otohata shouted.
"1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7!"  They all call out in order.
"Again!"
"1, 2, 3, 4, 5, I'm 6, 7!"
"Ladies, it seems he has returned to get us," Otohata continued, "We must stop him at all costs, understood?"
"Yes, sir!"  The girls shouted.
Yuuya rushes in and shouted at Rei, "Can't you wait for me, Rei?  This is getting annoying!  And besides, I keep telling you that this is my department!"
The monitor flashes revealing Tatsuki Kuroi in a white jump coat.
"Ook!  At last we meet again, Cy-Bo-Div!"  Tatsuki said.
"Prof. Tatsukichi!"  Kotobuki cried.
Tatsuki shouted, "It is time I finally defeat and delete you once and for all!  And to start, I'll take care of the likes of all 7 of you!  You cannot defeat the scientific ways of Machida Black!"
"Miyu will not be intimidated and neither will all of us!"  Miyu shouted.
"We'll see about that!"  Tatsuki shouted, "Attack, my drones!"
Tatsuki released a batch of mechanical bees, which look pretty much like Sayo, Misato, & Naoki, and started to attack the girls.  All of them tried to fight off, but to no avail.  Miyu & Satsuki were almost pestered by them, while Kotobuki started to shoot at them.  Mami did a Karate pose and shouted, "BRING IT ON, YOU INSECTS!!!"
The bees let out a heavy sting at all but Aya.  The girls fall to the ground as Aya watches on.  "No!  You can't die!"
Enraged, Aya destroys the bees.  As she stopped, she saw the girls being teleported away.
"You did it, Aya." Miyu said.
"We're truly sorry for everything." Rie added.
Satsuki said, "Don't worry about us, we'll be back."
Kotobuki added, "And we'll see you soon."
Harue said, "But now, you can fight for all of us."
Mami cried, "We believe in you, Aya-ppe!"
The girls disappear as Aya starts to have a moment.
"My friends," Aya shouted in confidence, "I won't let you sacrifices be in vain!"
Otohata interrupted saying, "You do realize that they're not dead; but that's not the point.  There is something I must tell you before the final battle."
Aya then thought to herself, "Could this be it?  Could he tell me about my past?"
But Aya then interrupted Otohata and said, "Please, wait!  Otohata-kun!  There's something I must tell you!"
Aya began to fluster up her courage.  However, Otohata grabbed her by the face and said, "You listen to me.  I love you, Aya."
Aya began to blush and smoke at the same time.  She nearly fainted.
"Ever since you have been with us for a while, I have been eyeing on you for a while," he continued, "You have really showed me your courage, and I like that on a girl like you."
"Really?"  Aya said in much joy.
Rei answered, "I do."
Tatsuki then said to both of them, "Aw, young love between a cyborg and a human.  It's too bad I have launched a secret weapon in your fair city!"
Tatsuki begins to laughs evilly.  Otohata runs off.
"Otohata-kun!  Where are you going?"  Aya shouted.
"I'm needed elsewhere," he said, "I leave it up to you!"
Aya smiles as Otohata leaves.
Yuuya, however, was flabbergasted, and had a confused look on his face.  He then asked, "So, wait.  What really did happen to Aya's memories?"
Tatsuki replied, "Why don't you see for yourself?"
The monitor shows a picture of Aya's past:

Yuuya walks by with Otohata in the snow.  They stopped and saw Haruki Hanai, in a white lab coat, grabbing Aya by the arms, trying to escape.
"NO!"  Aya cried, "NO!  I don't wanna go with you!!!"
"Nonsense!"  Hanai shouted, "You're an artificially modified cybernetic human!  You can at least act like one!"
Aya breaks out of Hanai's grasp and ran across the street.  However, as she ran in the middle of the street, a truck hit her.  She flew into the middle of the street and landed face-first into the pavement.  Minutes later, an ambulance came and placed a bloodied Aya on a stretcher.
The scene on the monitor disappears.

"So, do you think that might have been the reason Aya lost her memory," Yuuya thought.
Tatsuki answered, "Yes, it is!"
Yuuya stood in shock.
"But," Tatsuki continued, "With the slight modifications, we've rebuilt her to her rightful state; except now she's more powerful than ever, since I helped recreate her."
As Tatsuki laughs, Aya starts to shake in anger.  "You're gonna pay."
Yuuya & Tatsuki look on.
"What did you say?"  Tatsuki asked.
"I Said, you are gonna pay for what you did to me," Aya cried, "You'll be sorry you messed with me; a GAL with a heart so pure cannot be tainted at all!"
Just like that, Aya's heart began to glow.  Tatsuki & Yuuya began to look on in astonishment.
Back at the control room, the monitors started to flash red and saying "MAT-GAL!"
"Aya's otome circuits are going critical!"  The Intercom said, "That means we're totally gonna get it now!"
Down at the basement, Otohata is by a giant robot that looks like a police rabbit.
"So, it finally begins," Otohata said as he looks up to the giant robot, "Okay, big guy, it's your turn."
The rabbit's eyes began to glow white, as the doors began to open.
