On the 14th machine the Orbit Base "Bunker" deployed 12 units onto Earth for a top-secret mission. During the descent many YoRHa unit was killed. Four survived the descent, they then met up with the Rebel Resistance. Only to know that the Rebel have survived for more than 200 years. The Rebel consist of Rose, Daisy, Anemone, Aster, Dahlia, Clematis, Kalmia, Sonia, Erica, Marguertie, and Lily. Although there were conflict between the androids and the Rebel, they worked together in order to complete the top-secret mission. As they advance one by one comrades, friends, and allies began to fall. Only a few survive. One of them was A2. It was on that day that change who she is and who she will become. A2 began to wonder around Earth, endlessly with only one goal in mind. To kill any machine she comes across and wiping them from the face of the Earth. Years past and A2 still walks around the Earth until her encounter began to change her fate.

A2: I can still hear their voices. It echoes in my mind, whenever I close my eyes. Regrets? I...I couldn't protect them. What was there to live for? Suicide? I couldn't. I just ran, ran from my allies. I left them, I alone from the descent survived. I still wonder why I did not die that day.

Machine? They all must die. Each and every one of them. I will wipe everyone from the face the earth.

...

[Author's Note]: A2 never abandon them. When she said "I just ran, ran from my allies". I'll leave the interpretation to you guys.

...

A2 stared into the distance, the sun slowly sets over the horizon. Time slowly tickle away, A2 turned around and began walking towards the Forest King Castle. The forest is filled with machine, whose is loyalty to a king. She walked towards the edge of the cliff and saw an army of machine training getting ready for war or at least preparing for it.

Machine Warrior : We must fight for our king. Defend our king. Protect our king.

Machine Peon: FIGHT FOR OUR KING.

A2: Hmph.

A2 jumped from the ledge and dash towards the army of robots. She rushed towards the army. They turned and spotted her.

Machine Warrior: INTRUDER! PROTECT OUR KING. CHARGE!

A2 threw her Type 4O-Blade weapon right in the middle of the charging army. She then leaped into the air and flipped towards the sword at a shocking speed. As she decended she drew her Type-40 Sword and turn into a 360 sweep in the air slashing all those who were near her attack range. Landing to the side of her blade, she took up to arms and slam it against the Warrior, sending him flying to a nearby tree. The impact destroy him, it took more than a minute for A2 to finish annihilating the army.

Looking towards the ruined castle, she began to slowly made her way there. Little did she know that two androids are heading in the same direction.

Walking on the top side of the mountain A2 notice two androids units approaching.

A2: Hmm, new YoRHa models.

She overheards their conversation and found out their names.

A2: 9s, a superior support model for scanning intel. 2B? She doesn't look like a Type B Unit. Perhaps a E? No, I might be overthinking it. 2B huh?

A2 look at the ruins before her and notice something in the corner of her eyes. A human? No there was no human left on Earth, an android? The unknown figure walked away. A2 hesitated wondering if she pursue the unknown person. After some thought, she shook her head and began to infiltrate the castle. Her goal? To kill the so called Machine King and then wiping out his entire subjects. Hatred for machine flows through her body. If it wasn't for the machine her friends, her comrades would not have died in vain. But if machine didn't exist would she have existed?

A2 scaled the top of the castle. Reaching the top she see the machines. In that instant, she dash and attack. Thinking it was an easy battle, she did not notice that more and more cavalry came. Soon she was surrounded. Staring coldly at that machine, she branish her sword. Charging forward, she did a slash the three machine near her. From behind a machine with a spear attempts to strike her head. Leaning her body forward, she kicks the machine back and continue her onslaught trying to escape from the horde. Endlessly fighting the machine she reached to the edge of the broken castle roof. With nowhere to turn and the machine in front of her. She had two choices. Either jump into the castle from an unknown height or continue fighting the machine and hope for the best. The machine began to rush towards A2.

Live on A2.

A2: No.4. I'm sorry.

A2 leans back and falls off the edge into the castle.

[Flashback]
Red Girl A: Did you really think that you could win?

Red Girl B: Did you think we can be destroy?

Red Girl A: Commander didn't tell you did she?

Red Girl B: Commander didn't mention about the mission did she?

Red Girl A: This mission was doom from the start.

Red Girl B: This mission was a suicide mission.

Red Girl A and B: You all fought and died in vain.

A2: I can't died, yet. There are still many things I have to do.

As she falls she notice a small crib, with a robot inside. Her eyes narrowed, focusing on the machine in the crib. She remove the sword from her back and prepared to descend. The baby was none other than the King of Machine.
