MechaGirl Storia: An Escape Clause

"So, let me this straight: there's another militia attack just eastside of Nevada", Rachel "Raq" Asakura asks her best friend Mikoto "Miko" Shirogane as the two of them walk down the Rabbit Hatch, "In which my father is having a conference meeting in Las Vegas, Nevada?"

"Yup", Miko affirms as the two girls entered the MechaSuit Armory, with the brown-haired girl taking her MechaSuit Type-A from its containment pod, "And from what I can tell based on the data I've gathered, it seems like the rogue militia is going to be attacking the conference center where the biggest leaders in the world gathered concerning all of the new weapons and mechas developed by other manufacturers, especially since our repeated interventions as MechaGirls."

"I guess with all of the fancy techs the big boys of the military have, I can't blame them for being jealous and way too mad at them for not having the biggest guns our military has.", Rachel sighed in disappointment as she watched Miko putting on her MechaSuit Type-A, "If only I can join you this time."

Slightly ticklish at her MechaSuit tightly adjusting itself to her small developing body, Miko ponders on the question... and suddenly, an idea ringing throughout her head like a lightbulb,

"Raq, maybe you can pilot me as we go to Nevada", Miko explains, "and once we go there, I'll drop you off there in Las Vegas to warn your father about the attempted assassination while I take on the baddies in the rogue militia myself. What do you say?"

Now wearing her MechaSuit Type-B, Rachel was dumbfounded by Miko's offer, surprised even, her reaction pretty much conveyed the message that she wasn't sure about it. But as the clock is ticking and time is not on their side, Rachel finally nods her head in agreement.

"You know what? I don't think there's a choice." Rachel responds as she and Miko run towards the hangar bay, going on separate platforms as Rachel watches her best friend below standing in place, preparing to transform into the AS-0814 AileStrike for her to pilot. In her defense, the blond-haired girl have never once piloted a giant robot before, not without some guidance, but piloting what's essentially your best friend as a functional sentient mecha is something she's never expected.

"You ready down there, Miko?" Rachel heard Miko's voice coming through her earpiece.

"Ready as I'll ever be, Raq!"

"Okay, then! Time for Step 1!", Miko takes a deep breath before uttering, "MechaSuit, Initialize!"

Just as instantly, Miko is enveloped in a bright blue orb of light and plasma as Miko's transformation into the AileStrike truly begins, starting by going through her MechaSuit's Blank Mode. The brown-haired girl winces as her mechanization begins with her hair falling off, her skin merging with the MechaSuit and the rest of her body turning into metallic mechanized parts, her eyes start tearing up as her eyeballs become covered with a liquid-like substance as it hardens into a pair of cybernetic optics, and her internal organs were converted into mechanize equivalents. Rachel looks on in awe, mesmerized by the sight of her best friend's body shifting into her Blank Mode.

"Okay, that's Step 1, done. Now, onto Step 2!" Miko utters, her voice now sounding more robotic. "Valkyrie Mode, Initialize!"

Once again enveloped inside the bright blue ball of light and plasma, Miko, despite her body being a bit more robotic than usual, felt like it was shifting as her mechanized form started shifting into a different form. The last of her human parts is being replaced by mechanized equivalents as her body expands into a slender and curvaceous humanoid robot body as the orb dissipates, revealing a fully mechanized teenage girl adorned with a figure and breasts that was comparable to a young supermodel. Rachel, seeing everything from above, loudly asked her mechanized best friend, "Miko, how are you feeling right now?!"

"Everything is fine here!", an older Miko answered, now standing in her human-sized Valkyrie Mode in the hangar, "Almost to the last part!"

"Okay!", Rachel answers as Miko concentrates back to the last step of her transformation into the AileStrike. "Valkyrie to AileStrike, Initialize!"

Just as quickly, a huge ball of blue plasma once again enveloped her as her size slowly drastically increased as her true metamorphosis into the AileStrike began. First off, her mechanized frame shifted into the AileStrike's size and height, with her chest expanding as well, which in turn formed the AileStrike's signature crystalline cockpit pod in her cleavage. Her metalized body starts to sprout blobs of metallic "flesh" that spread out on a few spots around her body as it reshapes and hardens into the AileStrike's white and pink armor. Secondly, her insides similarly shifted and mechanized as her organs became more and more mechanical until it was replaced with fully mechanized equivalents, all the while her brain gets upgraded into an AI computer core as her soul and mind are converted into a digitalized entity inhabiting her mechanical shell. Finally, a helmet forms around her head and opens up to reveal the AileStrike's own beautiful face. As this happened, she felt the transformation was complete.

"Alright, my mechanization is complete, Rachel!", MechaGirl M, as Miko has become, said to her friend, playfully posing as Rachel walked into one of the open ends of the upper platform, just a bit above the crystalline cockpit in MechaGirl M's cleavage, "It's all set!"

"Ummm...", Rachel muttered as she stared at the cockpit. She was wondering if she was going to fit inside. "...Do I really have to do this?"

"It's alright, Rachel.", MechaGirl M replied, "I mean, this is my first time having someone go inside my cockpit and control me."

"What if I make a mistake?", Rachel asked.

"Then I'll just pull you out, okay?", MechaGirl Miko answered, opening the crystalline hatch as Rachel sighed.

"O... Okay.", Rachel mumbled, slowly climbing inside.

Rachel's body was barely able to fit, her butt and chest slightly hanging off the edge. Her head, however, fit comfortably in the cockpit's headrest, and the glass-like cover sealed her inside. The various components and displays all flared to life as Rachel stared in awe at the myriad of lights, dials and switches surrounding her, and the view through the large screen in front of her.

"How do you feel, Rachel?", MechaGirl M asked, "Comfortable?"

"Not quite, but I think I can manage.", Rachel answered, "Can you feel me inside, Miko?"

"Yup, and you fit perfectly!", MechaGirl M said, "So, what do you say we get going to Nevada and save your dad and his associates from those damn terrorists?" Rachel, without skipping a beat, excitedly answers with a "Hell yeah!"

"Great to hear!", MechaGirl M said before she added, "But first..."

All of a sudden, Rachel winced in pain as her MechaSuit seemed to be gripping her body like a snake constricting its prey. Millions of microscopic nanomachines spread throughout the blond-haired girl's body, reaching into every cell in her very being as they started to reconfigure her body into a different kind of person.

"Nnnggghh...", Rachel groans, her body feeling in heat from the amount of nanomachines that were working on her body, "What's happening?"

"Oh, I'm so sorry!", MechaGirl M apologizes as her best friend is now panting rather loudly, "I forgot to tell you that you're gonna need a disguise to get through the conference's heavy security, and besides, your father can't see you in person within arousing suspicion of being there at all."

MechaGirl M is right. If Rachel goes to save her father and the rest of the conference attendees, she might end up in bigger trouble as being there by herself might raise some eyebrows at her. What the girl needs is a massive makeover to throw their suspicions away, and what Rachel is experiencing is doing exactly just that.

Feeling her limbs were elongating, the girl looked at her hands and feet and gasped, her fingernails are growing longer and sharper, her skin was growing slightly tanner, and her legs and arms were growing longer and leaner, as the nanomachines were altering her DNA. The next change was the hair. It was still blond, but it was becoming a little straighter, and longer, with a few curls at the tips, and it was becoming more voluminous.

Rachel felt her chest is throbbing like crazy as the nanomachines went to work, and her breasts grew larger, swelling to at least a C-Cup. The girl moaned as the nanomachines altered her brain chemistry, and she felt herself become a lot more energetic and perky.

The last changes were the eyes. Rachel saw that her eyes were becoming a bit smaller, yet the color of her iris remained its sapphire color, just with a slightly muted tone to reflect her mature body's appearance.

Rachel took a few deep breaths before she looked down at herself in awe, now fully aware that she was transformed into a sexy young woman.

"Wow...", Rachel uttered, still processing everything that happened in her body. "That was amazing!", she added, "So this is what I look like as an adult, huh? No wonder they all think I'm mature enough to do whatever they want."

"And it seems like you like what you're seeing", MechaGirl M said, "Yet your face is still the same childish look you had a little while ago." She then added, "But no worries, as all that's missing is the helmet, in which the last of the disguise will take effect once you put it on."

"Got it.", Rachel answered, "But first..." She then grabbed her smartphone and quickly snapped a selfie, sending it to her private cloud account. "Hehe, I bet everyone'll be so shocked to see me like this!", she giggled as MechaGirl M laughed in amusement.

"Okay, time for you to get your helmet!", MechaGirl R said as Rachel's MechaSuit started to extend its "fabric" towards her head, covering every corner of her face, before hardening into a helmet that resembled that of MechaGirl M.

As soon as the helmet was secured around Rachel's head, the girl, now a woman, could feel her face beginning to become ticklish as thousands of nanomachines were busy creating a new womanly face for her. Her cheeks became softer and more supple, her nose shrunk down to size, her youthful pale lips turned into a lovely pair of bright red plump ones, and the overall shape of her eyes and eyeshadow around them gradually shifted from a more "childish" look to a mature one.

"Alrighty! That ought to do it!", Rachel said, giving her newly-formed womanly features a few taps with her hand. "Yep, it's still me, alright. My voice certainly didn't change much, did it?"

"Nah.", MechaGirl M replied, "This should fix it..." Rachel then begins to cough rather violently, only to stop for a second as her voice sounded... more mature, sultry even as she uttered, "Better.", finishing her coughs.

Rachel giggled at the changes that the MechaGirl M made to her body and voice. Rachel liked that her vocal cords weren't forced to mature, just that her voice became sexier to match her newly-made body.

"Wow...", Rachel said, "My body and voice have been fully disguised, and no one will realize a thing about me!" She added, "So what do I look like now, Miko?"

MechaGirl M then asked, "Raq, could you wait for a moment?" The center display monitor lit up, showing what looked like a lightly tanned helmeted bombshell staring back at Rachel, prompting her to remove her helmet the display showed the reflection of Rachel's new disguise, with her long voluminous blond hair unraveling as she removed her helmet.

"So... is this my new look?", Rachel asked,

"Yup.", MechaGirl M answered as Rachel observed herself in the monitor's reflection, "It was the best that I could do without making drastic changes." She then added, "Besides, a disguise is a disguise. We can't let those terrorist have their fun and ruin others, too!"

"You are right!", the blond-haired woman enthusiastically said before switching to her mature professional tone as Rachel added, "We have to get to the site this instant before things could get any worse."

Standing on the launch catapult, MechaGirl M, as the AS-0814 AileStrike, flaring up the boosters on her shoulders and thighs as she and Rachel are raring to take off to their destination. After a brief while, the warning lights went green, signaling a take-off.

"Rachel Asakura, AS-0814 AileStrike. Taking off!"

And with a massive rush forward, Rachel and MechaGirl M took off, bursting through the skies, heading towards their objective: Las Vegas.

----

Reaching Las Vegas, Nevada is quite a quick trip for the AileStrike, and from the skies above, the two took notice of a small army of terrorists slowly approaching from afar, bringing with a couple dozen mechas armed with powerful weapons and heavy artillery. It seems that they brought out the big guns for this one, thinking it'd be a tough battle.

Not if MechaGirl M and Rachel has anything to say about it.

Discreetly landing in an empty back alley, MechaGirl M opened her cockpit compartment so that Rachel could enact her own task of saving her father on foot, hoping that the terrorists would get to them first. "Hey, M! I'm heading towards Dad. Take care of those mechs!", Rachel said as she ran off into the Vegas streets as MechaGirl M brandished her .123 High-Velocity Magnum Pistols, raring for a fight.

"This is going to be fun!", MechaGirl M excitedly grins as her mouthpiece clamps around her grinning smile, entering her "Combat Mode" as she flies at her foes at near-Mach 1 speeds, destroying one of the seven enemy mechs as terrorists open fire on the high-speed pink-and-white mech. Good thing she, as the AileStrike, is the fastest mecha ever built for as far as she knows, MechaGirl M took down two more of her enemies' mechas in a graceful flurry of pistol shots, kicking and even punching a few times before grabbing another mecha with her legs as she fling it towards an enemy tank.

"Looks like the fun part is over. Now for the main event!", MechaGirl R uttered as she flew straight towards her last enemy.

----

Meanwhile, Rachel went to a nearby shopping mall, quickly buying some stylish clothes she likes to hide her identity, knowing her father might not take it well if his daughter came into harm's way just to save him, let alone looking like a grown woman in a very tight mecha pilot-suit. After some consideration, Rachel emerges from the mall, all dressed up in a very revealing red long dress with a little showing of her cleavage, and a pair of violet high heels to match, giving the blond-haired beauty a glamorous but classy look, while concealing her adult-woman physique with it.

Now walking to the Las Vegas Conference Center where her father, the president of the company behind all the new weaponry, armor and mechas is at, Rachel felt rather comfortable walking the Vegas Strip like this as a grown woman, attracting all sorts of men who find her pretty attractive, not just because of her beauty, but also her mature charm she got from her now older voice. Not that this isn't even a big deal for her as repeatedly transforming into her older self (sort of) seems to affect how she'd react to some attention, and how she'd feel rather comfortable showing off more of herself for others.

Still, she's still got a job to do and that's to make sure her father and everyone else in that convention center stays safe and sound, a task proven a bit complicated as a couple of guards were at the entrance of the meeting room, despite the apparent ongoing danger outside. She tried to make the most of her best effort, knowing that there is a possibility that those rogue terrorists may try to attack. But then again, maybe they've been expecting someone...

As Rachel got closer to the guards, she could tell that those two are on edge, with one of them asking who she was as she approached. The woman, in an attempt to be friendly, tries to reassure them with a "Relax, guys. I am here on official business." As proof of this, Rachel introduces herself as "Elena Forsyth", a special guest picked by the head of the Asakura family himself, meant to entertain the guests with their heart-stopping performances, and even then, the guards won't budge a bit. Leaving her with no other choice, "Elena" then uses her feminine charms and sex appeal to lure the guards away into an empty room and incapacitated them before they could even know what hit them, both of them none the wiser.

Entering the meeting room inside, she felt her heart beating as soon as she saw what awaited her; every powerful leader in the world had gathered at this conference hall, many of whom looked surprised to see this sexy woman in a long dress standing in front of them, all wearing various shades of blue.

"Uhhh... I need to speak with President Asakura.", "Elena" calmly and coolly spoke as all the other powerful guests just sat and observed as the blond-haired woman spoke up, "It is quite urgent."

The silence from the guests grew louder before one of them spoke up, "What are you talking about?!?" Even her father is looking dumbstruck at the sight of an adult woman just barged into the meeting room as if there's something urgent to do here. But as "Elena" kept calm, the President continued, "I don't remember picking up some stripper from my hotel to come here! Do you have any proof of why are you here?"

Right before "Elena" can even answer her father's question, the whole conference room violently shaking around them as all hell broke loose: loud noises could be heard echoing from outside the conference hall. All of a sudden, one of the windows to the right suddenly explodes with debris from nearby explosions from the outside, erupting the room into pure chaos as the guests struggles to escape.

Taking pity of all of the poor souls in the building, being the strong independent woman that she is, "Elena" told everyone to calm down.

"Panicking wouldn't get you all anywhere. Calm down! All of you will not die here today..."

With all of her charisma and charm, the woman in red made a compelling speech to instill a bit of hope unto the rest of the VIP guests, all of whom are surprised that she managed to do so well, despite only having few of the answers needed. Still, it took the blond-haired woman every fiber of her being to make something this important and even sound convincing that these people might make it out alive.

"Okay, this has been quite nice", one of the guests spoke, "but how are you going to save us?"

"Oh, trust me," "Elena" answered the man's question, "I'll get you all out of here!"

----

Around the same time, MechaGirl M seems to be struggling with one remaining terrorist mech, a really advanced one at that, and it surprisingly put up a good fight for quite a while. This enemy mech, which MechaSuit's database is able to identify as a "TS-74E Treadblade", a highly-mobile assault-type mecha equipped with a large super-heated blade capable of cutting through even the strongest alloys in existence. That alone poses a severe danger, enough that MechaGirl Miko is already struggling, dodging each attack the Treadblade does in an attempt to stab and slice at her, as the AileStrike is only armed with pistols. Regardless, knowing that she is nearing the safe limit of her "Operating Limit" with only 10 minutes remaining, MechaGirl M had to put an end to this skirmish and get her butt out of there as soon as possible, lest likely running the risk of having the "Mechanized Decay Syndrome".

Running a quick analysis of the Treadblade, she discovered that while it is incredibly agile, prolonged movement activity seems to degrade its vital components, mainly the joints and the cooling unit on its back, as damaging both would severely cripple its overall performance. It was a very simple task to achieve, and yet this Treadblade is proving itself quite the challenge with its advanced weapons, which has so far been doing better than what her data suggests.

It was time for a direct offensive approach she fired her Magnum Pistols at the enemy mech, firing shots at its legs in an attempt to slow it down. But to no avail, the shots did manage to damage its joints but not nearly as much as the mech kept moving towards her with increased agility, swinging its massive super-heated sword in rapid succession at her. Concentrating her shots at the cooling unit, the back of the Treadblade erupts in a cloud of smoke and flames as it frantically tries to put out the flames on its back, giving the female mecha the window to open fire on its joints to disable its use of limbs.

Seeing the mecha completely immobilized, MechaGirl M approaches the Treadblade and touches it, allowing its countless nanomachines to assess every frame and component of the mecha itself at a breakneck pace, storing the collected schematic into the MechaSuit's database for future reference of her new additional form. Once the deed is done, she lifted the entire chassis of the now-limbless Treadblade mech into the air and kicked it very hard, sending flying before exploding in a bright flash of fire and debris.

"There. My job is done!", MechaGirl M said just as a loud siren ringing into her system. Realizing that her time is almost up with just a few seconds to spare, the female mecha flew to an empty alley where she can safely transform back to her human form as Miko, still wearing her MechaSuit Type-A with only a torn-up cloak to cover her bodysuit up, much to her relief. "Great goodness! That almost got me!", Miko sighed in relief as she quickly walked to the Las Vegas Conference Center, hoping that Rachel was okay.

"I better hope Rachel is okay..."

----

Around the same time as MechaGirl M's fight with the TS-74E Treadblade, "Elena" is currently busy taking her father and all of the meeting attendees out of the building, even taking the time to grab some souvenirs and discreetly keeps it all in her MechaSuit's hammerspace storage, when she spotted a group of masked men near lobby entrance, five of them in total and all are armed with high-caliber weapons. Telling the father and the attendees to remain hidden in a nearby empty room until the problem is been dealt with, she said, "Mr. Asakura, stay here with everyone else. I'll see what the commotion outside."

"Very well... stay safe, ma'am! Be careful out there!", the president himself said before "Elena" closed the door, with the masked men already at the hallway, with a leader in a black trenchcoat commanding them with a raspy voice, "Spread out and find that president of HyperNox. Now move it!"

"I'm afraid you won't got time for that, buddy."

One of them looked away from the rest, hearing a sultry voice right beside him as his neck was twisted, killing him as "Elena", or rather Rachel, slowly walked towards the group with her hips swaying as if to tease them with her womanly charms. The remaining four were now focusing on her with their rifles ready. One of them said, "Who the hell are you, broad?" Rachel didn't respond as she quickly closed in on one of the gunmen and had him in a headlock with her legs, grabbing the pistol on his belt to shoot the other gunman in the leg and chest as he went down screaming in pain. "Elena" quickly let go of the unconscious one in a headlock before grabbing the rifle from the second one and firing rounds straight through the forehead of another one as he fell dead.

But "Elena" has to quickly dodge more gunfire as another one comes for her, and she grabs the guy by the arms to make a headbutt with her knee. Once disoriented, "Elena" grabs his head and throws him towards the pillar, leaving him wide open for a roundhouse kick to the face, knocking the last of the masked men out. Good thing all of those times she's been fighting as MechaGirl R really does come in handy when dealing with on-foot soldiers and whatnot.

"Well, that's pretty much all of them.", "Elena" proudly declares as she signals her father and the attendees to come out, deeming it safe, "Everyone, it's all clear here! All of you may come out now!"

Everyone rushes out of the Las Vegas Conference Center, paramedics and SWAT officers all waiting for them to be checked for injuries and to give them medical attention if needed. Some of the attendees were just casual eventgoers visiting the place for a good reason, while others like the guests of honor themselves weren't all too interested in being here at all, but nonetheless, they were glad to be saved and were nonetheless unharmed. "Wow! We're rescued!", a man commented as he and the rest of the people were escorted to an armored vehicle. "Hey, where's that woman who saved us?", one of the guests said, looking around for a second to look for "Elena", who was nowhere to be seen, yet the President was rather content.

Whoever is this savior, at least she has done the right thing, and that's alright, as he can only smile before meeting up with the rest of the meeting committee to talk about moving the conference back to Amber Hills for the time being.

As for "Elena", Rachel meets up with Miko in an empty alleyway, reverting herself back to her youthful self as she hugs her friend in relief and gave her a high-five. "That was a mission well done, Rachel!", Miko happily exclaims, "It was rather hectic, per se, but we both managed to make it out alive."

Rachel replied, "Yeah, those terrorists really had no shame at all, barging in unannounced and demanding all of these politicians to give up their weapons, or else they would use them against them. I was able to make them stay there to make sure the guests are saved." She then added, "By the way, the disguise did manage to keep everyone, even Dad, off of me for that brief moment."

"Good thing that you didn't reveal yourself at any time.", Miko added as she added, "I'm not going to risk you or your dad being in further danger, but for now, you can rest assured that everyone is safe."

"Yeah! Say, let's go home!", the blond-haired girl cheerfully said as she and her best friend preparing their long trip back home.
