Hello there! Once again, thank you for reading this story. I apologize for the long wait. Procrastination and events going on with my life. I am going to try to update a bit more since I graduated. Anyways, the disclaimer is the same (not owning the game or anime, or anything). I own my creativity in writing.
Chapter 6: How to Be an Android
{9S's POV}
6O and I were having our lunch on the roof as usual. She was chatting up a storm. "I cannot wait for Jackass to teach us about being an Android! She is so determined and strong. It's like she is unstoppable." I simply listened and nodded. I do wonder too about what being an Android is like. So far, it is like being a hero for many people. It sounds amazing.
"A word?" I looked up and saw 2B again. 6O looked furious, ready to get up and give her another kick.
"What do you want now? You want to finish what you've started," 6O asked her, glaring at her.
2B shook her head. "No. Besides, I am already too late." She glanced over to me. Luckily, Emil was taking a nap during all of this. "9S, do you remember what I wanted you to promise me?" I nodded. She sighed relief, turning to leave. "Good. You must not be deceived by his honeyed promises. I just hope my words are not in vain."
I remembered what Emil said; wish for something your heart desires and you become an Android. "Ma'am, wait!" She stopped. She could have told me to not call her formally, but she simply looked back at me, wanting to know. I continued. "2B, what did you wish for to become an Android?"
Then the strangest thing happened. I thought I saw a tear from the corner of her eye before she looked away and ran off. 6O blinked, confused by this. "What is up with her? What did she even wish for?" To be honest, I wasn't sure what it could be. Whatever is it, it could have been something sad.
{Time skip brought to you by Jackass's experiments. It is challenging, but you do get a reward from her after working your butt off. Anyways, have a nice day.}
{normal POV}
The pair met Jackass at the cafe. Instead of the Android clothing, she was wearing what a biker would wear: black leather jacket, jeans, boots, chains. She looked like a normal civilian. The woman waved over to them, ordering some food. "So, are you both ready for your first session of Android 101?"
6O nodded. "Yep. And I brought this from the gym!" She got out her backpack and pulled out a metal baseball bat. "Those machines won't stand a chance!"
That made Jackass chuckle, nearly sweat dropping. "Quite the enthusiasm. I like that." She looked over to 9S. "And you?"
9S blushed. "O-oh! Yes…" He pulled out a sketchbook from his pack and opened it. On the pages were sketches of him as an Android. He would wear a black visor over his sky blue eyes. His outfit would similar to 2B's, but with a more masculine taste. "I made this."
It was silent between the group. Just then, the two trembled and tried to not laugh. 9S blushed. "H-hey! Don't pick on me, guys! You too, Jackass?"
Next time, the training begins. How will things go? What Goliath Machine will they fight? Hint: Not Simone or Engels. You can also suggest what Goliath Machines will be faced as the story goes. Signing off! *salutes, smiling* Glory to mankind!
