"What the hell what could be flying that thing" A2 commented.
"Access to a flight unit can be overwritten by a pod. Pod hypothesizes it could be another android Unit with a pod."
Flying over the sea X1 had pondered the many questions about himself. What did they do to him? What killed off the humans? What will he learn when he reaches his destination. But the main one biting at his head what is this other entity inside his body? Being irritated that all that happened to him he hopes the trip would finally reveal the answers.
"Hmph, whatever is flying that flight unit is none of my concern," A2 commented as she turns to continue on her path.
Moments later she noticed a giant swarm of enemies heading towards the flight unit. Looking up 2 Goliath flyers followed the swarm. But the one thing that caught her attention was the new Goliath she'd never seen before. The new enemy was like a jet but larger flying faster than the rest it passes the swarm and engages the unit. Taking noticed why such a large group of enemies would chase after a single unit. It perked her interest as she then rushes towards the sea and spotted the battle that ensured.
"Alert: Many Goliath and machines have appeared on radar." Pod 077 warned.
"Are you shitting me I barely got to the ocean!" X1 yelled out in frustration.
Looking over his shoulder the first enemy flew right pass blocking him off from the front. The machine then opened fire sending a wave of projectiles towards X1. Reacting to the enemy he pulled up in a sharp turn flying up evading majority of the projectiles. Having pulled up the enemy got behind him and continued the barrage of bullets. Weaving back and forth he goes into barrel roll diving towards the sea. Picking up speed he breaks through the wall of clouds and into the hordes of machines.
"Pod is there weapons on this thing?" X1 asked realizing his mistake.
"Affirmative: activating weapons systems." Pod 129 answered.
Opening fire the quiet sky erupts into a battlefield as the dogfight begins. Flying around he shot many enemies down before feeling the flight unit slow down. Transforming into combat mode the unit was now maneuverable but without speed. The suit then revealed a large plasma blade in hidden in its arm. With no Hesitation, he flew into the group and began destroying more of the machine. Figuring out how the suit all operates X1 continues the onslaught.
"This is never ending! I already shot down dozens" X1 remarked as the battle rages on.
Turning around he spotted two Goliath open fire with their underside mounted lasers. Moving around the attacks he lands right on top of a Goliath. Piercing the enemy with the blade he drags it across the top causing a large hole to appear. Launching off the enemy he let out a barrage of missiles into the hole ending the first Goliath from the inside. Changing back into flight mode he pulled around immediately and headed back to shore.
"Why is X1 heading back to land" Pod 129 asked
"Because if I get my ass shot down here I'm sinking into the ocean" X1 answered
"Pod suggest getting into buildings where X1 can use it as cover" pod 077 added in
"Alright then mark the nearest city and set a course"
The pod marked on the map of a city nearby with large buildings structures. Flying back to shore he zooms pass A2 only hundreds of feet in the air A2 watched as a wave of enemies give chase. Watching as the fight rages on she notice that he was reckless. Having flown pass her she gave chase as the large Goliath closed their distance once more.
Upon entering the abandoned city X1 pulled a High-G turn to face the enemies. He flew right into the swarm unleashing another barrage of missiles. The barrage knocked down a few dozen more thinning the numbers. Noticing the Goliath had entered the city once more. The jet model pulled up high leaving the other down low as they try to sandwich him between the two. Diving down X1 clashed with the Goliath below him. Shooting a barrage of bullets it opens up the machine allowing access inside. Flying into the opening he spotted the core ejecting pod 129 it fires a laser towards core turning it into a molten mess. Escaping before the explosion engulfs them he heads back into the air.
"Alright it's starting to thin out only a few more then that big guy over there"
The large jet Goliath followed X1 and the two once more engages in a dogfight. Flying towards X1 they clash with one another launching many missiles at the android. X1 navigated through the buildings watching as each one struck the structure. Circling around he fired multiple shots and charged in with the blade. Swinging the sword towards the enemy it dips out of the way. Turning around X1 launch a volley of missiles hitting its mark. Blowing the wing off it crashes into the ground erupting in an explosion. Having killed off all the big enemies he enters flight mode and begins flying out of the city. A large laser beam from the side struck one of his wings causing him to spin out of control.
"Where the hell did that come from?" X1 yelled out as he tries to recover from the spin.
"Alert Goliath tanks spotted on top of building to the east," said Pod 077.
Along the rooftop of a building, 3 tanks had perched itself with enough angle to get the shot in. Gaining balance once again he retreated out of the area in hopes to save the suit from any more damage. Weaving through the buildings he flew low enough where the tanks cannot get a sight on him. Going between the buildings he was soon struck by a large flyer as it severs him and the suit in half. The damage caused him to eject from the unit while the rest flew out of the city with his pods and weapons. Flopping onto the ground X1 now has been heavily damaged once more. Missing his lower half plus his right arm he drags himself to a wall and leaned against it.
A horde of enemies showed up around the structures. But this time not to his favor he has not seen such horror as they approach him. The round face revealed an opening with teeth inside the hollow cavity. X1 now without any means to defend himself as his weapons had been in the suit with his pod. He scanned around spotting an iron pipe. Picking up the rod he held it out in front of him ready to fight the machines.
"Come and get it you bastards" X1 taunted the enemies
Soon the swarm rushed in swinging with his strength. He hoped to stall for enough time so his legs can regenerate. Smacking the first few machines he bent the pipe from the sheer force. Slamming what's left of the twisted metal into a small rampaging biped. The machine soon overwhelms him as they began grabbing at the man eating what's left of his body. Each passing second he felt bite after bite ripping at him. Before long a machine pulled his arm off causing him to scream in such agony. The feast continues X1 had given up hope for survival and wished for his suffering to end.
"Foul wretched demons I will destroy you all for I will have my vengeance!" the voice soon roared
"Wh…aa...t…y..oo..uu aga..in.." X1's answered as his mind was cracking
"Pathetic... humans are such weaklings always giving up when they are at death's door"
"Go...to hell..." X1 commented with a smirk on his face.
"Foolish human this is my chance for I will now consume your humanity once more!"
The machines were almost done tearing the Android to bits. The remaining body glowed red sending of heat once again. Bursting with power it healed X1 once more. Standing back up there was fire surging inside his mouth. X1 soon releases a fire blast from his mouth causing the area to erupt in an explosion. Destroying the entire machine in the vicinity the man let out a blood curling scream. The Roar echoes within the city as the area continues to burn. Within moments the seal wrapped around his body once more dispersing the marks. X1 crashes into the ground with a mark left on his right shoulder.
…Outside the city…
Rushing to the location the flight unit had flown too. Spotting large structures the city was lit up as explosions littered the sky. Watching as the light danced around buildings A2 tries figuring who is the operator. Watching as the light dance around she begins dashing towards the city.
"Alert: Magical Signature from the old world detected!" her pod's alarm rang out
"What is it now another one of those Emil?" A2 yelling at her pod
Focusing her view on the city a large inferno explosion erupted from within causing nothing but destruction. Spotting the blast A2 decided to investigate the cause. Having fought the Emil copy she believed it was one. Thinking the battle may have triggered the dormant weapon to waken she proceeded on stopping it. Waking up X1 had a large drain in his energy. Pushing himself up from the ground both pods greeted him with a new supply of clothing and his weapons.
"Did unit X1 transform into that form once again?" Pod 077 asked
"Yeah sadly I did but it seems to be angry at something. It had spoken of vengeance as if these rampaging machines reminded it of something." Answered X1 as he put on blue camo cargo pants with black boots
"There is a strange marking on X1's right shoulder" Pod 129 spoke
"Wait what?" looking to the mark he noticed it had seared itself into his flesh
"What the hell how did that get there" he asked puzzled.
"Hypothesis possible that the mark had managed to damage your body as you turn into that form."
"Maybe… that might be just it" said X1 as he puts on a black t-shirt with a dark gray flak jacket.
Looking around at the mess from the inferno he noticed a silhouette standing on a rooftop. Zooming in with his eye he noticed a beautiful woman before him. Her long white hair flowed in the wind but to him, he noticed that she lost a lot of her flesh. Her body showed metal all around the chest and hip area with it extending down to her legs. The high heels caught his attention having seen how it's integrated into her design. Surprised that she was able to move around from the damage X1 could not help but feel sympathy for the person.
Jumping down from the building she landed on the ground. Now walking towards X1 he started to feel uncomfortable as her cold stare pieces his eyes. Having closed the distance they were now within jumping distances to one another.
"Who the hell are you," A2 asked
"That's a nice way of introducing yourself there" X1 responded
"Did you do all this?" A2 commented while looking upon the scorched ground
"Maybe I did or maybe I didn't what's it to you"
"Wise guy huh"
"Alert: unit matched the description of the Unit Model A Number 2. She is wanted for annihilation by YoRHa. Proposal: X1 should end the target before proceeding" Pod 129 advised.
"X1...?" She whispered trying to figure out why he would be an X model when she was a prototype
"Hey, pod I swear you're going to get me killed do you not remember the last time you warned me about wanted androids." X1 responded annoyed "but why is she wanted for destruction?"
"Number two is wanted for desertion along with killing all pursuit units"
"Wait what..."(she's like Starlight and all them...) he remembered what had happened when he first met YoRHa
Looking over the Female android she had her weapon drawn and gave X1 a death stare.
"YoRHa is destroyed; there are no longer any other units out there alive"
"What do you mean I met a bunch of YoRHa deserters how can they all dead?"
"Wait there is more alive...?" A2 questioned
"Shit I should probably not have mentioned that," he thought to himself
"Tell me who the hell are you! A model X number one was never created."
"Don't worry about it I'm not after you I just want to get somewhere"
Turning around he began away before a blade was sent pass him. Landing in his way turning back around as she drew her type 40 blade and slowly walked towards him
"I'll get answers out of you soon enough" she last spoke before dashing toward the man
Drawing the buster sword he managed to block the swing. Locking blades A2 started to push the man back much to his disdain. Pushing her off the two began dancing around one another as flurries of strike rocks the area. Smashing against the sword once more X1 had jumped away trying to gain some distance from her.
"Alert: X1 should escape from the fight Unit Number 2 specializes in close range combat. From data gathered X1 is not suited to combat a YoRHa unit"
"You don't say!" Yelled X1 as A2 chased him down
A2 begins raining down her combos once again. This time an attack manages to wound the android by cutting his chest open.
"There's no blood..." she thought to herself seeing as the wound did not bleed.
Catching an opening he lunged in grabbing A2 by the neck. Pushing her to a wall he slams the android pinning her. Pulling out brotherhood he was about to pierce her torso. He catches her eyes widening as she remembers being pieced there once before. Stopping midway he noticed the fear and threw her to the side before sheathing his weapon
"Look I'm not going to kill you so let me go and we can be on our way"
"You think I would let you go?" She got back on her feet only to notice the wound she inflicted had healed. "What the hell how are you healed," she exclaimed.
"Don't worry about it. It is best you don't get involved"
Getting back into her battle stance she once again got ready to engage X1 once more
"Proposal X1 should leave the battle zone. A2 is very proficient in combat a prolong fight may result in the destruction of X1."
Thinking to himself he draws buster sword once more and got into his stance. But before she could dash into him he turned his head slightly and looked behind her.
"Look Goliaths!" He said as he pointed to the rear of her
Turning around she was ready to combat the threat only to spot a barren land. Feeling angry at such a trick she whips her body around only to spot him bounding off the wall of the building. Watching as he vaults over the structure A2 began rushing along side hoping to catch him.
"You bastard!" She yelled as she continues her pursuit.
