I Felt inspired, anyone who wanted a chapter of All those Created Things and a Catastrophe, I'm sorry. I'm a mean person
"Gah!" Leo, a small, dark haired, dark skinned, Latino child, screamed as he and his pistil Annabeth, a cute blond girl with princess curls, pale skin, and stormy gray eyes, shot past the rest of The Seven. Their dragon franxx, Festus, skidding on the ground at breakneck speeds scuffing the once shiny gold and red colors.
"Annabeth! Leo! Are you OK?" Shouted Piper and Jason, as their franxx, Tempest, which was shaped like an eagle with more standard white coloring with gray highlights, rammed into the massive klaxosaur, Gaea. Who stood at fifty times the height of their franxx, humanoid in form, with skin that was thicker than the walls of the plantation and the darkest black, with blue joints pulsing with klaxosapian power. She could have passed for a human, minus of course the height and color, but she was no human girl, at least to The Seven. She was nothing more than a monster in their way.
Frank, who was a large, slightly chubby, Asian boy with a militaristic look to him, and Hazel, a much more timid girl, with darker skin, and eyes that matched her name, who were riding a bear shaped franxx called Argo, which was also adorned with standard white and gray colors, also joined the fray slashing with their magma powered claws. Trying to give Festus needed recovery time.
A bolt of what appeared to be sky-blue light flashed through Gaea's leg head on making her fall on one knee, leaving her vulnerable to attacks. The blue light around The Seven's leader faded away, revealing his single unit franxx, Blackjack, a pegasus with, razor sharp, magma powered wings, and a pure black color. It's left wing was entirely covered in Gaea's blue blood, indicating a successful hit. That's me, my name's Percy, or code 818. I'm a parasite in plantation 12, but I'm not like most parasite teams, who all pair one stamen, with one pistil. I pilot Blackjack alone, Dr. Franxx said that I was, 'Just another experiment! We are testing the stampede ability of franxx, so we must consider all the options! so don't worry, you're just an option!' So I never worried, I just did what I was supposed to, pilot. I was just glad to be able to pilot, there was a brief period when I was unable to synchronize at all in the Garden when I was with any pistil.
"Alright listen up!" I spoke through the mic inside my franxx, taking Blackjack in a wide turn though the air, "We may only get this one chance to destroy Gaea, and if we don't, our colony is gone. All of it, every memory we've ever had will be forgotten, we will have made no change. This is our all, so act like it!" And I meant every word of my uber-encouraging speech, "So here's the plan. Argo, I need you to pin one of it's arms down immediately, Tempest you have to make it possible for Argo to do that, and when Argo has her held down, grab the other arm and keep it down, I'll take care of the other leg. Festus I need you to stay back, when you get the shot I want you to use all your fuel on the forehead. Come on! Let's take down this hunk of klaxosaur leftovers. Let's live to shoot that flare up and go home!" I prayed to Papa that the core was in Gaea's forhead, if I was wrong then we would be as good as dead.
Six voices all gave a 'Yes sir!' and got to work on their respective roles. Each one believing that they could end this, once and for all; a false hope. This klaxosaur had been attacking their colony for quite some time, the only thing that stopped it from demolishing the team's home was it's slow movement. Colony 12 couldn't gain any ground because of it's own slow speed, and was also running out of fuel. The Seven couldn't afford to quit, if they did it was over.
I shook the thoughts of the impending doom out of my mind, and focused on Gaea's other leg, the one that he had nearly cleaved in half was already starting to mend and stitch itself back together. I once more spread Blackjack's wings, going between her legs fully disconnecting the one that he cut before.
I, rather than speed out for another pass, shifted into Blackjack's humanoid form which was a standard franxx model but wielded a Greek xiphos, and round shield connected the forearm. Severing Gaea's other leg in one fell swoop. Though it's appearance was similar to the standard model this franxx had Blackjack's color also it's smaller size, being piloted by only one parasite. I dashed out from under the massive klaxosaur, practically bathing in her blood. Piper and Jason pushed Tempest's rocket engines into full thrust, tipping Gaea over. Argo sunk it's teeth the arm in the blink of an eye, holding it down with the force of a full sized franxx, Tempest following suit.
"Festus go! Now while we still have the chance!" I ordered Annabeth and Leo, with the most confidence I could muster, looking back I shouldn't have been so reckless. I didn't know where the core was. Gaea could have had many for all I knew. Nevertheless Festus poured all the energy that remained in the franxx forming a golden-red magma energy comet. One second, five seconds, ten seconds, They released the raw power that the stampede franxx held. The fireball shot towards Gaea's head.
If only I had noticed the cruel smile on her face, maybe the rest of The Seven would be alive, but I didn't, and the shock from what happened paralyzed me, and kept me from saving any of my friends. In just that one moment of hesitation Gaea opened the void that was in place of a mouth, and swallowed the attack entirely. Her legs broke apart into smaller klaxosaurs which all rushed to the larger form, undoing the damage from her severed legs. And she stood, all the effort of getting her into a position that they could attack was futile. Again Gaea opened her mouth, but this time she released the energy stolen from Festus, shooting out a beam of pure white energy destroying Tempest without so much as a sweat. We all screamed as our friends disappeared from our world.
Gaea however wasn't done, lowering her vision to the ground she caught sight of Argo who was slashing at her legs, squashing the franxx under her massive foot. She looked over to Festus and used another beam of energy incinerate them.
And there I was, stuck on the sidelines with no way to help as The Seven were forgotten by Gaea. "What about you Percy?" you might be asking. I suppose she saw that without my team I was helpless and left me to suffer. But I wasn't done yet. My friends died and I sure as hell wasn't going to let it be in vain. That would be the last mistake that this over grown klaxosaur ever made
I had one idea left, and I wasn't sure that she'd even answer if I called, but I had no choice. I bounced a signal off of plantation 12, rushing in the fray to try my luck at slowing Gaea.
-818 Blackjack-
Zero Two was enjoying some peace away from the 9's, sitting on top of her franxx Strelizia. She was examining her headband that made a bad attempt at hiding her horns, her favorite flavor of lollipop in her mouth. Last night had been a rather annoying night, with the 9's acting in their normal annoying stuck up way. And her best friend Percy, or code 818, was set to engage a klaxosaur that she wasn't sure she he could kill, she doubted that even she could kill it. This was Percy though, he had a knack for doing the impossible.
Zero Two heard footsteps coming from the catwalks around her, and peered around the walls that separated the franxx. Seeing all the 9's she internally cursed
"Great." Zero Two muttered, "The 9's, probably coming to bother me more." She took one last look at her magma powered long range communicator. No message yet. She slid down Strelizia hoping that they wouldn't notice her leaving
"Lota!" Zero Two frowned, 'So much for that idea.' She looked over her shoulder giving Alpha a harsh look, nevertheless he smiled, "Sync in half an hour." Zero Two muttered some incomprehensible insult, something starting with, "Piece of no good..."
-002 Strelizia-
The thirty minutes passed by Zero Two like a molasses river. Her worry about Percy and the impending battle only served to leave her unfocused. By the time she had gotten into Strelizia her hands were shaking, she was unsure that she could even pilot like this. But Strelizia started up in a heartbeat, the familiar controls of her franxx helped to calm her jittery senses. The hanger doors opened revealing the large expanse of desert that they were to defend. The 9's had said that there were two rather large klaxosaurs and quite a few smaller ones on the way. She currently had no stamen with her in Strelizia, so she was in stampede mode.
Just before her second step out of the hanger she heard a small beep. She was momentarily confused before she realized that it was Percy. She quickly looked over the message. There was no actual text from Percy, it was only a distress signal, code red. Zero Two thought of the worst, how Percy might be in a crippled franxx and bleeding to death. She shook her head trying to clear her head. No Percy's fine he probably just needs backup, nothing special.
"Command do you read me?" Zero Two asked over the coms, "Loud and clear 002, is there a problem?" A harsh masculine voice came through. "I am setting course for plantation 12, distress signal from parasite 818." Strelizia started to move again taking a turn due east, "Copy that! You are clear to go. Over."
And so Percy might not be as doomed as he felt, going up against the klaxosaur that would haunt his dreams for all eternity.
First of all I'd like to say the reason for Percy's code (818) is because that's his birthday, and Idk what else to use for it. Hope this wasn't crap to your ears. Please review all your wonderful words (Flames too!) Thanks for reading, C U later! -Ely
