When did this all begin? Zero-Two's thirst for human meat was unquenchable, there was no way to satisfy that churning hunger. And because of that, she didn't just kill the stamens she rode with mentally, she ate them while they were alive, and breathing. She loved it when they screamed, and the way the heart just stopped when she bit the wrong place at the wrong time. That was what happened with Code Zero-Eight-One, except she left him mostly unscarred, because she knew he was most likely already dead without her tearing him to shreds. But the fact that she had no desire to devour Hiro was peculiar. She pondered in her mind as she waited as the catwalk extended out to Strelizia. And why he had chosen Mitsuru to pilot with her on this one. She found him annoying, stupid, and most of all cocky. She played with a piece of tendon stuck in-between her left hand canine. That was when Mitsuru opened his goddamn mouth, and began to speak.
"You know he made the right decision to let me pilot with you, other than being selfish and letting his squad mates die. I mean, he is useless after all." Mitsuru mentioned while chuckling silently.
Zero-Two craned her head to him, she was instantly ticked off with his overzealous cocky nature and the fact he never gave Hiro a break. Finally, the cat walk arrived at Strelizia. Without another word, Zero-Two quick got into her pistil seat. While Mitsuru nonchalantly sat into his stamen chair. The cockpit closed and the large female looking mech powered up. She didn't care much about Mitsuru, and the fact that he just always wanted to speak got her angry. They began to spend a long march down to the mining operations area.
While this was happening, Hiro was fishing around in his mind about what would happen to his squad mates. The white, yet greyish interior of this briefing room was suffocating for him. He wanted to be out there, in Strelizia with Zero-Two. Nana stood beside him, holding the holographic pad. If you were born any sooner, it'd remind you of a clipboard, but with a glass pane at the tip and glowing buttons and LED lights all over the front.
"I'm sorry."
Hiro heard a low rumble. He craned his head to the right. And stared at her. Then, he looked back at the screens in front of him. He paid no attention to Nana, fully invested into the onslaught. But then he realized she wasn't saying sorry to him. She was saying sorry to the screens, and then Hiro noticed that it wasn't the screens, it was Mitsuru.
Mitsuru hadn't felt more powerful, he felt like he could do anything.
"If you want, Zero-Two, I can be you official partner! Wouldn't that be great? We'd make the best partners ever! Don't you agree?!" Mitsuru was beginning to yell out. But he instantly regretting his words right after.
"Really? You mean that? Then I guess, I could go all out for a little while." Zero-Two responded to Mitsuru. Then, out of nowhere, Strelizia kept going, faster and stronger than previously. Though the the radio and the screams coming from it differed from what was happening. Inside, Zero-Two was slowly ripping Mitsuru apart. With each Klaxosaur kill, a finger came off of him. Soon she sunk her teeth into his right hand. She shook her head around crazily like a shark, soon the skin was being ripped open. Then her canines dug into the muscles and tendons, within moments those snapped and tore open. Zero-Two pulled away, and lunged into Mitsuru, clenching her teeth around his jaw. She pulled down, hard. Breaking his jaw, and digging her teeth into his chin. She pulled off, exposing part of his skull. In a short moment, she used her hands to grab his, and pulled them back as she bit down on his right arm, and sunk her canines into it. She pulled them down to the left side, while keeping her teeth sunk inside of him, cutting his arm open. Screams could be heard from the radio, but the scene was grotesque. Soon Mitsuru's legs were ripped open, bitten into, and had passed out from shock. Zero-Two spit out a piece of meat from him. She turned, and made Strelizia return to the lift. While it was going off, she got off her seat, and walked over to Mitsuru. She opened her mouth quickly, and took a large bite at his fore head. When she did so, she pulled back, pulling a string of skin off, where the skin around his eye came off, and part of his muscles. She'd be surprised if Mitsuru had survived this.
When the cockpit doors opened again, she had cleaned the blood off of her face, and had had spit out some muscles and tendons that were left over from her feasting period. She waved out to Hiro, with a smile on her face.
