Chapter 2
AN: So here is the chapter 2. Actually I really want to make 2B and 9S happier than they were in the game, they made such a poor couple. .o(╥﹏╥)o
And about mr I hate znt nobles kill em's question, well, I didn't think about it until you mentioned it. I don't wanna make this another angst story. How about taking this story as a half-AU where 9S would never find out YoRHa's secret?
Again I don't own Nier:Automata and the story is written just for fun. Thanks for metallover's help and advice to this chapter. Last but not least, do tell me if I had any grammar mistakes.
Enjoy!
9am Android's Factory
A few minutes later, some androids of other types gathered at the entrance. An operator type android was excitedly talking about how the young androids were made and what would they look like. Some battle type androids (except 2B of course) were gossiping about the new techniques used in their youngsters. It seemed the factory had developed a more advance technique that integrated two different kinds of data together and created an android with two abilities.
"Alright ladies and gentlemen, it's time we should get going." Commander announced and walked into the entrance. The others followed.
"Excuse—Me-!" 6O's voice came behind them as she ran hurriedly.
"I'm sorry..." She panted," I come to see my 12O but I lost my way…"
"Didn't you bring your Pod with you? " Commander asked, tipping her head to one side.
"It's charging now. That's why I can't my way..." 6O answered timidly as if she was going to cry.
"Oh there there. Dry your tears and come with us. A Pod is not a problem."
Commander said softly and padded 6O's head as if she were a child.
"Commander seems quite gentle today. Like a big sister. "Seeing such a heartwarming moment, 9S murmured to 2B.
"She is a reliable commander indeed." 2B answered as the group finally began to step into the entrance.
9:05am Android's Factory
It was really a long way. Since the new androids were made in secret in case of the machine lifeforms' discovering and destroying. Pods were floating ahead of them to light the way. The corridor was cleaned yesterday in preparation for their visit but the loud noise of machines still annoyed them...
Wait, it was not just noise of machines, it was mixed with crashes, explodes and battle shouts!
[Warnings: Androids' Storehouse is under attacked.]
[Proposal: Androids here should join the battle]
"What…!" Commander was shocked as the red blinks of warning light made their eyes hurt, "Everyone, we should get moving! Newly-built androids are not fit to fight right now!"
"But none of us have taken weapons! Now only the scanner type can make a difference!" A battle type android shouted anxiously.
"Damn it… But that seems to be the only way here. Now all the scanner type androids present, I command you to join the battle and save the new androids!" Commander calmed herself and quickly transferred into the serious mode.
"Yes, ma'am!" The scanner type androids echoed firmly as they dashed to Android's Storehouse.
"9S, please be careful..." 2B whispered as she watched 9S's back disappearing into the darkness afar.
Wait for me, the girl of ours. 9S thought as they became close to the destination, you too, 2B. Stay safe.
The floor was trembling beneath their feet. Dust fell down continuously from the ceiling. Parts of the huge machines came to loose and some even dropped to the ground. Retreat? Wait here? It remained a difficult question.
Commander stood steadily, eyes closed, brow wrinkled.
"Please be safe my 12O, please…!" 6O prayed as her tear streamed down her face.
"Oh stop it, 6O!" 9S scolded her, " As a member of YoRHa, you should be brave and..."
Suddenly she was halted by something flew towards them. It was small with weapons attached to it—a Pod!
"That's my Pod!" 6O lit up in a second and raised her arms, "You finally did something useful, smart Pod."
The pod came near and dropped the weapons. With their weapons in hand, androids were aroused with willings to fight.
"Great! I now command you to charge forward and end the battle! Operators and I will watch your back." Seeing the situation, commander raised her own sword and voice, "Glory to mankind!"
"Glory to mankind!" All the androids with weapons including 2B roared as they rush at the Storehouse.
9S and that so-called daughter, here I come. 2B whispered.
9:30am Android's Storehouse
Thank goodness the new androids were built with their weapons next to them. They were already fighting before the reinforcement arrived. However, since they hadn't been oiled properly, their actions were much slower than the enemies. Although they took advantage in number, they were still in disadvantage in battle.
"Kill, kill..." The machine lifeforms mumbled in ambiguous terms. A big hole on the ceiling implied that the enemies may come from there. Without any instructions or Pods, they just fought on themselves. Battle types were brandishing their swords, scanner types were exerting themselves though they were green hands. But operator types were not so lucky as their comrades. With no weapon at hand and nobody to operate with, they struggled to brace themselves up. All of them were encouraged by the reinforcement's arrival. Yet, to their disappointment, only the scanner type androids came to their rescue.
"Gah!" 9S was struck to the ground while hacking. His vision became blur due to the damage. He groaned as he struggled to stand up but failed. Too late! A machine lifeform in front of him held its axe above head, ready to land a killing blow!
9S closed his eyes and thought: scanner types are not designed to fight after all, I've uploaded my memories so it's ok to die but it's a pity I didn't get the chance to see you here…
Unexpectedly, a scream broke out not from 9S's mouth but from the machine lifeform's! A sword penetrated its chest from behind gave it a deathblow. With a final moan, it fell to the ground in a heavy thud.
"Are you okay, sir?" A female android who just killed the enemy pulled her sword out of it and reached her hand to 9S.
"Yeah thanks, I'm fine..." 9S grabbed her hand and managed to stand on his feet. He steadied himself and finally looked at the female android carefully.
Long silver hair, black eye-patch, black skirt and black high-heel short boots. A black bow tie attached to her side waist, the long ribbons, almost half a leg's length, flowing in the hot wind. So familiar, not only from her appearance. 9S began to study her with his scan ability. Wait, her data code is almost the same as mine, which means, she is the…
"YoRHa Type B number 18. Honor to meet you, sir 9S." 18B stared at him as if she had knew him before.
"But how do you know..."
"Sorry but it's no time to talk. Let's return to the battle."
