Three walks through the hall between his two crew mates, seemingly a little distracted as he tries to make his point but the girl just interrupted him with a snide comment when he started to suggest they need a leader. She could clearly tell where he was going to stir the conversation. Annoyed at her comment he looks over to her as they walk, she's not looking at him, but she has a smug little grin on her lips yet that isn't what he notices way she walks down this hall next to him with the gun at the ready, and little other details that just convinces him she's done this hundred of times before and he doesn't doubt for a moment she has.
There's a fire in her eyes which is more teasing and playful at the moment than anything else. All of that just really piques his interest in her further, it makes him wonder and question many things about her.
What is she capable of? Why is she injured and why was she the only one injured? If she's just a pretty girl with a sharp tongue and gun? Or if she's clumsy as well?
Honestly he thinks she probably is, because she even got stuck inside of her stasis pod. He means who the hell gets stuck in their stasis pod? He huffs out a short laugh at that, lips twisting into an amused smirk because he knows he ain't ever gonna let that girl live that down. He shakes his head, looking a little amused as he continues to make his point, turning his head to look between his teammates.
"Look, Doll, Tiny." He starts throwing a glance each their way before looking forward as he continues to walk. "All I'm sayin' is, we don't know how long we are going to be stuck here. It makes sense to choose a leader. You know, someone to make key decisions for the group."
Zero's eyebrows hitch up for a moment, dubious look on her face before responding. "Oh, and who could that possibly be?" She drawls out mocking cluelessness at that with a look of annoyance and amusement plays on her face at his suggestion while Six lets out a huff of agreement from the other side of Three. Six throws a look to the shorter male.
"Ah, let me guess. Someone like you?" Six huffs out looking to Three, knowing that is exactly what the man was about to suggest. Three tilts his head not looking put out by the idea of being leader but trying not to look too cocky because that was exactly what he was suggesting.
"Nah, not me necessarily. But yeah, someone to represent everyone's best interests. Someone whose got a final say in case of disagreements. I don't know, could be me. Is that what you're suggesting?" He asks trying to almost trick or convince them that he is the best choice but neither fall for it.
"No way." Six gruffs out and Zero just looks like that suggestion is the most hilarious thing she's heard all day.
"Hell no, I agree with big guy. It Ain't happening, Charmin'." She huff, shaking her head and laughing softly, seemingly so amused by the idea of him taking any leadership role. She just knows from what she's been able to figure out about him, however little it is, that it would be a horrible idea and probably end with all them dead or worse even though she's tempted because she knows it'd be a crazy and wild ride. Three looks over to her, looking at her sideways and eyebrows raised like she's the crazy one, which he can tell she ain't completely sound.
"Oh, so you think you'd be better? You got trapped in a stasis pod and had to be hurled around unconscious for an hour." Three suggests laughing boldly, mocking manner in his voice as he shakes his head. She arches an eyebrow slightly at that, wondering who was were the one to carry her but she's sure he's going to taunt her about it later. She ticks her jaw, annoyed at him bringing her unfortunate luck up.
"That was not my fault." She huffs out sharply, fury in her voice, not having liked her rocky start on the ship with people she assumes are her crew. The man just looks even more amused that she actually responded to him, that she toke the bait he was fishing with.
"Mhmmm." Three hums out, not convinced at all by that, looking so smug and he could practically hear her eyes roll in her skull at him.
"Oh, Shut up." She huffs out, getting annoyed with him. Three shakes his head wearing a grin at being able to get under her skin so easily before leaning over to the taller man, looking at him thoughtfully.
"Well, just between us, Six. If that was the case I could use a good second in command." It was an offer poorly disguised as a statement they all saw through. An offer Six was not at all interested in.
"Uh huh." He responds shooting a look to Zero who looks equally as disinterested and suspicious of that before they step onto a docked shuttle. Six grins as soon as he sees the shuttle, looking around feeling more at home of all things.
"Now this is more like it! I've gotta take this thing for a ride, man." He laughs as he heads straight for the console, sitting on the chair in front of it as it lights up. Zero can't help but smile at that before shaking her head and walking over, as Three looks around. "I wonder if I know how to fly this thing." Six voices aloud as Zero moves to stand on the other side of the console leaning forward and watching him more carefully like if she does she'll remember something; It doesn't work.
"Knock yourself out." Three calls out from the other side of the room, not too caringly. Six goes to start with the console but instead looks up to Zero who arches an eyebrow as to why he has stopped.
"You really think you know how ta' fly this thing, Big guy?" She asks him, as she glances around the room but the man just shrugs.
"Don't know but you doing okay?"
"This is all weird." She drawls out, feeling so out of place yet so at home here.
"Tell me about." He huffs out, leaning back in the char before flicking his eyes down to the gun in her grip. "But you seem to know what you're doing with that."
"Don't we all? Plus, I don't think guns we're my weapon of choice." She shrugs, as she looks down to the gun in her hands like it was going to answer all of her questions. He looks her over, hint of concern in his eyes as he notices the sharp breath she takes in.
"The pain?" He asks, curious and concerned because he knows she's hurt and she's the only one so that does raise questions.
"Don't bloody know what's causing it but it's lessening, definitely not as bad as it was in that pod." She tells him with thoughtful tilt of her head but her voice laced in annoyance and he nods. Three is wandering through a hallway near them before noticing something of interest. He walks into a room and stops by a large pod which is holding a blonde female Andriod. He leans on the pod, peering and and it actives.
"Hello, sweet cakes." He leers looking of the blonde before he raises his voice. "Hey Princess, Tiny, get over here. I found something!" Three turns to yell in Zero and Six's direction. As he does, the Android eyes snap open.
Six and Zero both look up, cutting of there conversation before sharing a look of concern but amused inquiry as they wonder what now. Suddenly a loud crashing noise has them both on high alert reading their guns and running to their teammate.
On the bridge Two continues to work on the systems as the green haired teen watches but something catches the eyes of the girl.
"Why is that flashing red?" Five asks, curiosity dipping into her voice as she motions to a message on the monitor causing Two to look up.
"That's strange. The ship's computer just initiated some sort of security protocol." She responds, brow furrowing in confusion.
Three is thrown across across the room, slamming into some boxes, effectively loosing conciseness straight away. As if both trained in strategy, Six steps into the room gun at the ready as Zero covers him, waiting for his single of help as she stays covered by the wall, not giving her position away to the perpetrator.
"Hey there." Six speaks up roughly as he points his gun at the back of the Android who sent his crew mate flying. She turns, knocking his main gun and pistol from his hand, before reaching and removing his sidearm from his belt. With one push she sends Six across the room and Zero takes that as her signal. "This is Six. We're under attack!" Six groans into his comms as Zero springs into action.
She looks deadly as she whips out from behind her cover, without hesitation, locking her aim on the target and pulling the trigger with the full intent to kill. Not to injure, if it was a person and she killed them, something tells her she would be okay with it. Something tells her that person deserves to die for attacking her crew. The blonde android simply dodges the attack as if it were nothing before turning to look at Zero. She goes to fire again but the android is quick, across the room in seconds and ripping the weapon from her hands, she just barely manages to dodge the androids counter attack by ducking as she swings the gun back about pistol whip the women with a rifle.
"By who? Under attack by who?" Two panics through the comms as Zero whips back up only to be caught as the android's spare hand wraps around the throat while the other hand throws the gun to the side. She's tossed to the side like a rag doll, flying across the room. Zero, somehow still conscious, but barley, let out a gasp not even having the strength to scream as waves of pain starting hitting her violently. She manages to look up, gritting her teeth and balling up her fists in effort to suppress the pain as she lays chest down on the ground to see The Android approaching Six.
With a shout the android sends Six flying across the room. A wave Adrenalin hits Zero because she knows this is a life or death situation, as she see her team member in a dire situation, silencing the pain. She closes her eyes for a split second mustering her strength and pushing herself to her feet as the blonde Andriod intent on killing them picks up a metal bar before hitting him upside the head with it.
"Bitch!" Zero grits out distracting the Android from potentially killing the larger male. The android looks back over to her dropping the metal bar and charging. Zero hopes to hell she knows how to fight and muscle memories will take the lead as she charges.
The android swings, Zero barely manages to dodge it and before countering the attack, delivery a swift punch to it's throat sending the robot staggering slightly. Before it swings again, almost counting on how Zero blocks it and when Zero counters it her fist is caught mid air, before it's dropped to the side. Four and One enter the room just in time to see the android punch Zero in the face, not even waiting a second for the girl to react or do anything before kicking the girl sharply in the lower abdomen, sending her across the room, crashing into the same boxes as Three, her body landing by him and this time she's out of it.
Seeing what the Android did to Zero One just attacks with no real plan in mind, just wanting to hurt her. He manages to hit the android but then she turns quickly, seeming unaffected by his strike as she grabs his shirt and throws him. Six jumps forward, wrapping his arms around her waist only to be thrown off and elbowed in the face. Four jumps down from some boxes, pulling out his katana. The Android dodges his attacks and grabs him by the throat, lifting him off the ground. "Some sort of security protocol's been activated." Two's voice rings out through the comms.
"Well override it! "Four demands as the grip gets tighter on his throat.
"I'm trying!"
One picks up Four's katana and swiftly chops off The Android's right hand that's holding Four in the air. Four falls to the floor and One strikes at The Android again. With her remaining hand, The Android takes the katana from One, knocking him to the floor. She drops the katana and stares down at One before her head droops and her eyes turn dark. A moment later Three wakes, gun at the ready and looking around in alert, noticing the Android is frozen then Zero's limp body next to him.
"Hey, I did it. Is everyone okay?" Two's voice rings again through the comms, as he feels something wrong at the sight of her limp body laying next to him not knowing if she's alive or she's already dead. He curses, drawing attention over to him as he drop his gun, quickly moving closer to Zero. One looks over, his face falling at the sight before him, before quickly telling Two that Zero was down.
"No, no, no. Sleepy beauty, You can't die on us already." He mutters as he grabs her face and she isn't responding. He looks at her and the the air in the room is still, he lets go of her face immediately checking for a pulse as Six told Two the needed to get her to med bay now as One hurried over to kneel by Zero and Three. Everyone was waiting, holding there breath waiting for Three's reaction to tell she's alive or dead, it would affect them all if she was, it would affect them all if anyone of them died because they may not know each other well but they are all each other know. His sigh of relief was loud and heard by everyone.
Not too sure about this chapter I feel like the last part was a little ooc of three (sorry bout that) but next chapter he'll be brushing that under the rug, acting like nothing happened just acting like himself. Hope you enjoyed this chapter! Please let me know what you think. Also letting you know there is a proper reason why Zero's been in pain and was trapped in her stasis pod. Also opinions on pairings or ideas are welcome! (Sorry for any mistakes this is unbetaed.)
