Author's notes: The tenses are fixed!
A man in a fancy blue parasite uniform walks out from the woods. Several unique-looking bald men wearing strange glasses and black suits are behind him. The army of bald men appears to be much more serious and secretive than the typical A.P.E. soldiers, who are seen in a daily basis.
The man in the blue uniform seems to be in great pain, just by looking at the medical equipment that is covering up his injuries. He is wearing a plastic mask on his face to help him breathe. His hair is short, but it appears to be drained out of its color.
The horned girl has a scowl on her face. She walks directly to the gray-haired man with folded arms.
"You have caused us a lot of trouble, you little fiend!" The man coughes and pounded his chest. "It's already outrageous that you keep running off without our permission but to see you like this is-" His head violently faces to the ground and his left arm covers his mouth, it muffles the cough. "Now, I know why he forced us to carry that long white jacket."
"It's not like there is anything to do here." The girl argued.
"And we're only supposed to be here for a day, so put this on." The grayed hair man has no patience. One of the bald guys hands him a very militaristic white hat.
He slams the hat on to her head like she's a doll.
A couple of bald men approaches the girl from behind. They place a long white jacket around her shoulders, caging her and containing her like a zoo animal.
The gray-haired man turns to Hiro and says, "I'm sorry that you have to deal with code Iota, she isn't like us..."
When her code was called, the girl looked furious.
Before Hiro says anything. The man points to his casted right arm, "This is why you should stay away from her."
Hiro is terrified, but his curiosity still drags him.
"Who are you?" Hiro said.
"Her partner and your temporary protector, for now." It's the man's last sentence.
The man turns away from Hiro, he waves his hand to the woods, catching the eyes of the bald men and the covered girl. Everyone, except for Hiro, walks into the forest.
From Hiro's perspective, they are disappearing into dark and mysterious land.
Hiro is running through the circular building underneath the land of green. He looks around the flat area of red and white, he seeks the golden stairs.
Quickly, he realizes he is in the wrong hall. He panics, turns, and runs. He runs through several halls and find the pair of escalators. He uses his key card and goes through the seemingly holographic wall that typically blocks out any ordinary Parasites from entering the stairs.
He takes the escalator, those stairs bring him down into the depths of the circular building. The escalator pulls him out from the world of white. A black city of tall buildings surrounds the atmosphere and its colors of gold echoes through the physically black landscape.
All of it appears blurry, when Hiro runs down to the roaming stairs and holds on to the rails of the escalator.
Quickly, the gold colors are faded into the air as Hiro approaches the light below him. He is now on the next floor of the building. Upon getting off the escalator, he immediately turns to the other escalator that's relatively close to him.
He goes on it, the familiar buildings and the golden bright colors return to take over the atmosphere.
This time, Hiro is cutting ahead of the long row full of mostly covered men and women on the stairway.
The bullets speeds through the other floors and escalators that are below them, eventually the line of adults dissapears when they reach a floor, which is skipped by Hiro.
Hiro runs through a couple of halls and is a bit out of breath.
Upon finding his destination, his speed decreases. He puts on hands on his legs and bends his spine forwards. After he shoves the air into his nostrils and relaxingly blows off the carbon dioxide from his body, he stands and he straightens up his back. His steps are much more calm as he walks into the restricted room and goes through its door, by using his pass.
There, he is greeted by a patient red haired woman who goes by the name, Nana, and an annoyed little boy that gives Hiro a very unpleasant look.
The woman is standing up and she place her hands on her waist, she has a very serious look on her face. The little boy is sitting on his large desk, his arms are hanging out, as it lacks a lot of energy. That little guy's face makes Nana's seriousness look fake and plastic in comparison.
Nana doesn't seem to mind Hiro's tardiness, she shows Hiro his table and presents Hiro with a chair. Before Hiro can take his seat, a little boy points out something unusual.
"Why is there blood on your uniform?" The small man said.
Hiro reacts very nervously, "I took it off. I brought an injured dove into the nursery. On my way there, there was an unusually colored dove that followed me from behind. So, I brought it with me as well-"
"So you wasted everyone's time just to bring two useless birds to a nursery. And one of them isn't even injured." The little boy said it with his unimpressed voice. The little boy's soulless eyes filled the room.
Hiro struggles to speak as 16 stares at him with his empty black eyes. "But it-it was... its mate-"
"Stop it, 16!" Nana commanded. "I'm sorry, Hiro, but we matters to go through today."
Hiro sits down on his seat. 16 looks away from Hiro and stares on his desk, waiting for the assignment to land on his table.
Nana takes away Hiro's and 16's communicators from their hands. She takes out two tablets and places them on Hiro's and 16's desks. The two boys pick up the tablets and begin to do their test.
Hiro skips pass the instructions and the title of the test (because he already knows them). He begins to read the first question.
What caused humanity to move into the plantations and who were the ones that established the plantations?
Hiro feels like his intelligence is being heavily underestimated. He answers it.
The first klaxosaur attack in the 21st century causes humanity to resort to living in plantations. The scientist group called A.P.E. are the ones to introduce the plantations as a way for humanity to survive any further klaxosaur attacks.
He reads the next question.
What are Franxx? What is their purpose? Who is responsible for their creation? Who rides them? Please, be very specific.
Hiro feels like a little kid. He types down on the digital keyboard with little determination.
A Franxx is a giant robot created by A.P.E. with a purpose to protect humanity from Klaxosaurs. The people who ride them are Parasites, they form in pairs of two to pilot one. The female partner acts as the Pistol and the male partner acts the Staman.
Hiro scrolls down and he sees that the other questions are going to be the kind that only people without brains can't survive from.
It wasn't because of 16, despite his young age, 16 was far smarter than anyone in squad 13, 16 also had the most impressive grades.
The test was supposed to be the most important thing Hiro and 16 ever taken and it was only made for their intelligent minds, but it's easy as hell.
Hiro studied for several months for this test and all of that knowledge he learned was worthless.
Hiro wonders what squad 13 is doing in the ceremony
Mitsuru looks very mopey and bored during the ceremony. He and the other squad members are attached to their partners by their pinky fingers with a small, stylized band. They are wearing special adjustments, which are added over their dull parasite outfits, and a neat white puffy hat that helps them to appear to fit in a ceremony.
They were on a long red rectangular carpet that begins from the elevator to the room that is readjusted into a stadium, just for the four pairs of parasites that stand on the carpet. To the sides of the parasites, there are rows of adults that were completely covered by their outfits (except from the area of the upper lip to their chins).
The adults wear a white headdress, which covers their torso and head, and a long garment that contains two solid colors, black and blue or black and green. Some of the adults are holding on to golden binoculars, shining with a familiar glowing yellow, and looks at the parasites with them.
In front of the parasites, there are six A.P.E. members that sit at their long white desk. All six A.P.E. members are wearing beautiful white outfits, the outfits are covered in sharp golden lines, it covers them head to toe. Also, they're wearing grey mask consisting a resemblance of the faces of monkeys and apes.
Behind the A.P.E members is a small white tower that rises over them and their table, it's meant for the one who rules over all of humanity, Papa, a being in a white robe, which contains a golden zigzag pattern on them. His mask also resembles an ape, but its colors are a bright gold and it has an adorable smile on it.
Papa is on that tower, he stand up from his seat. His arms rises up and his bold voice echoes through the entire room. The environment warms up.
His sound is so full of praise for their achievement, becoming successful parasites, it pours on the parasites like heavy rain.
The most of the parasites are trying to hold on their stance and mature appearance but Papa's voice breaks through their facade and the smiles the parasites that the parasites hide within their hearts are unleashed. Mitsuru's face is still sour, despite everything that he is given. A blond female pistol in one of parasites pairs is clueless on what she should do. The blond girl smiles when she notices that her round partner and the other members in her squad are smiling.
Mitsuru isn't engaged in the ceremony as much the other squad 13 members.
He looks at the crowd of adults and seeks to find something that can catch his eye.
He notices that there is an old man in the crowd. The old geezer has robotics on his body, it replaces his jaw and right eye. He also worn a lab coat.
He never seen that old man before
Next to the old guy is Hachi, who has an emotionless face, he wears a dark, militaristic outfit. Before Mitsuru turns his head away from the two men, he notices an adult, the guy wears a distinct red, black, and long garment.
The adult is doing something so unusual and shocking by only using his exposed mouth. The adult is yawning heavily with his stretching jaw. Mitsuru looks at the man with annoyed eyes that tell him to knock it off.
The adult turns his head to Mitsuru, noticing the attention he's receiving. The adult yawns in a very exaggerated way with one hand waving to his opening mouth.
Mitsuru is getting really pissed off! He crushes his teeth tight.
The adult yawns again but this time he waves both hands to his mouth.
Mitsuru may not be able to see the man's covered eyes, but he can still see those eyes of disrespect swimming in satisfaction as it dances in its hot tub, it's warmed up by using Mitsuru's burning rage.
Suddenly, there is a sudden crash of force that attacks the entire room! It topples down the parasites to the ground. Several adults are thrown out of their seats by it.
The ground is shaking in fear of the unknown force, it can bring down the end of every single life that lies within the Plantation.
Papa and the other A.P.E. members are not afraid and they appear to be tapping the air with their right hands. It's like they are not in this room at all.
Alarms are set off!
Soldiers arrive!
"EVERYONE REMAIN CALM AND STAY WHERE YOU ARE!" The Soldiers commanded.
Mitsuru is getting paranoid, he looks over to the spot where three distinct men are supposed to be. Hachi is holding on to the old man to prevent him from wandering off. However, the yawning man is gone.
