"Surprise..." Kaname says. "Now you know why we were on vacation so long."
"Your father has been unhappy with his gender for the longest time. We decided to go through with this a few years ago... This last vacation was so he could have the surgery, and recover." Natsumi says.
"I'm sorry we never told you... I... I didn't want you to grow up feeling ashamed of your father for this."
"Anyway... We come back, and find 3 other girls here, there's a giant armed robot in our yard, and our son is now a girl too." Natsumi says. "Care to explain hon?"

"Surprise... Now you know why we were on vacation so long."
"Your father has been unhappy with his gender for the longest time. We decided to go through with this a few years ago... This last vacation was so he could have the surgery, and recover."
"I'm sorry we never told you... I... I didn't want you to grow up feeling ashamed of your father for this."
Natsuru's lower lip was shaking, as was the tip of her fingers. She couldn't even begin to believe how horrible it could have been to feel bad in one's own body... for nearly their entire life. At least, she had time to get used to it... and could switch back if she wanted. There was a single tear running down her cheek as she walked into the room and moved to hug her 'dad'/second mom.
"D-dad... I would... I would never feel ashamed over something like that. I can't believe you went on this long with such a burden on your shoulders. If anything..." She swallowed her tears, instead smiling radiantly. "...your courage is what I see the most in this. Heck, I kinda wish you had done so earlier, if only so you wouldn't have endured that for so long, dad... I can't really call you 'dad' anymore, huh?", she asked, laughing lightly, planting a light kiss on her cheek.
"Anyway... We come back, and find 3 other girls here, there's a giant armed robot in our yard, and our son is now a girl too. Care to explain hon?"
"I'm happy to see you as well, mom. It's been... a really long time." Natsuru kissed her mother as well then sat down on the couch next to her parents, seemingly letting them know it might be a bit complicated.
"At first... I was supposed to keep this a secret from people because, well... I thought no one would believe me, and Kämpfers are not supposed to let anyone know. But... after recent developments... and as of today... I don't want to, and probably can't, anyway, keep this a secret from you two. You're my family and I think you should know everything. I just... can't lie to you two. It already drove me sick enough to not be able to tell you earlier."
She began with introducing the three girls previously mentioned:
"This is Sakura Kaede, the girl I used to have strong feelings for as I told you in my letters. Things... didn't work out in the end, but we've recently started speaking again, see if we can at least get a friendship working. Over there is Akane Mishima... my best friend. She's both an honor student and in charge of the library at school. We hang out together very often. And..." She took Shizuku's hand, giving her a shy smile. "...this is Shizuku Sango. Our student council president... and the girl I love with all my heart."
Introductions out of the way, she began explaining:
"As for me being a girl... Please listen to the whole thing, even if it's hard to believe. I've got proof of everything anyway. About a year and a half ago, I... was told, and also found out, that I was a Kämpfer. It's kinda like a mutant, only... not quite. Think more on the magical spectrum of the idea. Kämpfers... well, they are girls who can transform into different versions of themselves, at which point they receive a weapon, or a special power to fight. Thing is..."
She sighed: "...As I said, they are girls. All Kämpfers are girls. So whenever I transformed, I turned into a girl. Still.. I could turn back and forth after a bit of practice, so it was okay. When I asked why I was the only guy who had been turned into a Kämpfer, I was told it was because my potential as one was through the roof and that they made an exception because of that."
She paused for a second:
"You're following all this so far?"

"Okay", Natsuru said simply, apparently resolved to explain the rest. "So... of course, as I didn't have control over my transformations at first, things happened, leading to rumors of a new girl around the campus..."
Natsuru paused. At first, she had been trying to focus the story on herself without revealing her friends were also Kämpfers, leaving it to them to tell her parents or not, but... at this point, she realized too many things couldn't be explained without saying it. Since her friends were pretty smart and none of them had raised an objection or any sign they didn't trust her parents on the matter, she guessed they already knew that and apparently, didn't mind. Then again... considering all she had said already, she also realized that she had indirectly revealed her friends were in on the secret as well. She felt a bit stupid for only realizing that just then.
"...Um... as you probably guessed by now... Shizuku, Sakura and Akane are all Kämpfers as well. So, uh... back to the rumors going on... Shizuku didn't want people investigating this new girl story, and risk finding out about Kämpfers, so she somehow arranged - don't ask me how. I still don't know how she can have that much influence around school - for me to join the girls' side of the school, as my female self. Since the mystery girl was actually there for all to see, the rumors stopped, and steps were taken to explain male me's absence from school."
She thought things through to explain the rest as simply and clearly as possible:
"As I said earlier, Kämpfers are kind of made to fight, and most of them fight against one another, in groups of blue VS red Kämpfers. The reasons for this are unclear, but the ones pulling the strings are known as Moderators. We're not sure what they are yet." She decided to leave it to Sakura to tell or not that she had been manipulated by the Moderators to try and kill her friends and turn her the Moderators' control. If it wasn't her fault, she should have the right to tell it or not.
"Anyway, me, Akane, Shizuku and a couple of others, decided we didn't want to follow the Moderators' pointless rules and fight to the death for no good reason, so we kind of rebelled and teamed up against their agents, a separate group of Kämpfers, the white ones. We fought several times, and won every single time. It turns out my powers as a Kämpfer are really exceptional, and my friends are all very experienced and skilled, too."
She folded her arms:
"But recently... we were attacked by a new type of Kämpfers... Black Kämpfers. They... were winning, and beating us. We were probably going to die, and I think I lost consciousness during the fight. It was strange... I found myself kind of floating in blackness, like a weird dream, and my female self was in front of me, speaking to me. I remember being asked if saving my friends was really important, and what I was ready to sacrifice to save them. When I said 'anything', I kind of woke up and had access to far more power than usual. I defeated all the Black Kämpfers, and somehow managed to convince them to join us on our side."
She didn't say anything about the lot of them falling in love with her, though. She sighed.
"However... it turned out I lost the ability to return to my male form, in exchange for the power I unlocked... I'm a girl, permanently. I can still transform to a 'normal' form and a Kämpfer' one... this is my Kämpfer one by the way, I'm a bit smaller and lighter in my normal form... but I only have clothes for my Kämpfer form right now, and even then, it's mostly school uniforms, pajamas and nightgowns. I need to buy some more for both forms."
She smiled:
"But.. I'm fine. I'm okay with it. I had time to adapt before I turned permanently, and it wasn't so bad. In fact, I'm fairly comfortable with it all now, especially considering the fact Shizuku loves me regardless of it. So... I can live with it. And in a sense, it reminds me of what wonderful friends I have and what I am ready to do for them, so I almost prefer myself that way."
She looked at everyone present in the room, blushing for some reason.
"And... that's it. Basically. Oh... yeah, as for the robot... I'm not quite sure. Sakura gave it to me, so here it is."

In an instant Kaname is hugging you. "My poor dear. I'm so sorry I wasn't here to help you! I'm so happy you've found so many great friends to deal with this."
"I was able to procure a mobile suit in case any of the Kämpfer teams decided to come after me... The suit's name is Kämpfer... It's a high mobility assault machine." Sakura said sitting up. "After... What I did while under the Moderators control. I felt it would be better suited in your hands." She said standing up. "I need to get out of here. The White Kämpfers will be coming after me, and I don't want your parents to get hurt." She said standing up and trying to hobble to the door only to collapse in Natsumi's arms.
"Oh my... You've been shot. You're in no condition to leave this house young lady."
"Don't... You don't... They'll kill you. All of you to get to me."
"Good thing they'll have to go through us." Clair says showing up with several Black Kampfers.
"NATSURU-CHAN/KAWAIII!!!" The three from before plus four others lunge at both you, and Kaname tickling you to the floor showing you in kisses, gropes, and the occasional foot lick.

Natsuru Seno
Natsuru looked at Kaname as she was hugging her, visibly moved by the fact they accepted her as she was without any trouble.
"My poor dear. I'm so sorry I wasn't here to help you! I'm so happy you've found so many great friends to deal with this."
"It's... it wasn't your fault, dad... Man... it must annoy you that I keep calling you that. I mean it'd annoy me, if I had went through the whole thing myself to not be a man. Should I call you otherwise? And if so, how? ...It's just... if I call you both 'Mom', it'll get REALLY confusing!"
"I was able to procure a mobile suit in case any of the Kämpfer teams decided to come after me... The suit's name is Kämpfer... It's a high mobility assault machine. After... What I did while under the Moderators control. I felt it would be better suited in your hands."
Natsuru remained silent at this. She wished she could just wave it off and forgive her, but what Sakura was referring to was actually the whole reason she still had a few doubts about her, and still feared being alone with her a little. After all, the last time it had happened... White Kämpfer Sakura had hypnotized her, forcing her to try killing her friends, and attempt raping Sakura as her male self. Thankfully, Shizuku had stopped him. She had always felt horrible for that. Still... she was trying hard to believe her, and so far, everything that had happened supported the idea that she was simply manipulated like the rest of them at the beginning.
"I need to get out of here. The White Kämpfers will be coming after me, and I don't want your parents to get hurt."
"Oh my... You've been shot. You're in no condition to leave this house young lady."
"Don't... You don't... They'll kill you. All of you to get to me."
Natsuru shook her head:
"...Sakura-chan, sit down", she said, on a friendly yet firm tone leaving no room for replies. "...You do not get it, do you? We're a team. We're friends. Alone, by ourselves, we are vulnerable. Together... we can face whatever the Moderators throw at us. Besides... you came to us for that reason, right? I'm not letting you go out there until you've fully recovered. Even if I have to fight all the White Kämpfers of this planet by myself. Because... if you're really the Sakura-chan that I remember... you would do the same for me."
"Good thing they'll have to go through us."
"Clair-chan!" Natsuru exclaimed happily. She then saw the other Black Kämpfers behind her... and the look into their eyes. "...Oh, cr..."
"NATSURU-CHAN/KAWAIII!!!"
"EEEEK!!" Before she or her 'dad' could object (or anything else, really), the bunch of girls were on them, basically getting their hands, lips and tongues a bit of everywhere. "Wh- wha- whaaaa... wait! L-Let go! KYAAAAAH!" She looked at Kaname, protesting: "Let HER go too! What are you doing? Eeeee!♥"
She tried pushing the girls away to get some breathing space and make them leave her body alone for a while.
"Girls, please!... Those are my parents! And I have a girlfriend! And... and, heck, just don't do that!" ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 3 stones into Strength and 3 into Agility to push the girls away a bit. XD

Clair pulls each one off. "Knock it off ladies, we got work to do." She barks.
Kaname runs back to Natsumi and hides behind her cowering like a chicken.

"Th-thanks Clair-chan", Natsuru said, getting back up and putting her hand on Kaname's shoulder as a sign of support. Poor girl. She then walked to Shizuku's side, kind of making a statement that said girl was the only one who had any right to get this close and personal with her. "...Fiew. Mom... Kaname... This is Clair, the leader of the Black Kämpfers who basically joined us recently. She didn't introduce the others, as she actually didn't know them that well, having rather tried to avoid them, in fact.
She then walked up to Kaname and Natsumi and said: "...So? Still hoping for an answer. How should I call you, 'dad'?"

"I think Dad is still an acceptable term to use." She says with a smile.
"No problem. We'll keep a close eye on things here make sure no one lays a hand on you." Clair says.

Natsuru looked at Kaname for a few seconds, before showing her a gentle smile. "Well... if you're fine with it, I'll be proud to call you dad still."
She hugged her again, saying to Clair:
"Thanks Clair... you too, girls. Sakura should be healed in a couple more hours at most. We protect our house until then."
Releasing her dad, she said:
"Akane, Shizuku?... If the White Kämpfers launch a full-out attack, I'm counting on you two to protect my parents... Clair, if they do, please let me know so we can react as soon as possible. I'll join the fight directly myself. Is that okay for everyone?"

Everyone agrees. One way or another, you are all in this together.
(End of issue. Take 4 lines.)

(OOC: Thanks! If it's fine with you, once Sakura has recovered, we arranged for at least one of us to be with her at all times, at least until we figure out a way to deal with her White Kämpfers pursuers. Also, when things settled down a bit and it was obvious that constant surveillance was not necessary, Natsuru would have spent more time with both her parents (get to 'know her dad better', because... trust me, one's personality changes when they are finally free to be who they are XD) and with Shizuku (because. Girlfriend, amazing night together, love and everything. XD) Just so you know. ^_^
