A/N: This entire fic is dedicated to my dear friend, TTY7 for her birthday! Happy birthday and may you always be healthy and happy!
"Fishing?"
"Yes! It's a new function! I want to try it out!"
"… Fine. If we have time, then we can go. But the mission takes priority."
"YES!" 9S pumped his fist in the air, earning himself another small frown from 2B. "Pod, download all fishing related programs and functions! Oh, and all related information from the Old World! Everything!"
"9S, focus."
"Yes ma'am."
"So uh… I guess this is the ocean then."
"You have seen the ocean before. It is in our data banks."
"Well yeah, but this is different!"
"Different how?"
"It's an experience!"
2B simply sighed, but said nothing more as 9S excitedly shifted through the instructions for the fishing function of Pod 153. He had been looking forward to this for a few days after learning about the activity and she supposed that acquiring knowledge about the marine resources and possible hazards meant that this was technically a mission suitable for a Scanner model… or at least that was how she justified it to Command.
"Hm, this looks weird."
–9S's words snapped her attention away from her thoughts and she turned to look at the younger android. "What's wrong, 9S?"
"It says here that the Humans had special techniques and rituals regarding fishing. Some could even catch fish with their bare hands! But it also seems like using a smaller fish as bait was necessary to catch fish. This appears to be consistent throughout every account."
"You don't need to use Old World techniques. We are equipped with lure as part of the protocol relating to the fishing activity." Pod 42 clarified.
"Well yes, but where is the fun in that?"
"9S, DON'T YOU DARE!"
It was a warning delivered in a voice that would have made even a Goliath hesitate, but that was, apparently, not nearly enough to prevent what followed.
With an excited expression that bordered on maniacal, YoRHa Unit 9S sprinted at top speed towards the ledge of the ruined building they were standing on, at the exact moment 2B ran after him, extending her hand.
"9S!"
"Ahahahahaha!"
2B felt her fingers brush against the neck of his shirt, the velvety sensation giving her a momentary sense of relief-
Before it disappeared as 9S left ahead of her, jumping over the ledge-
The sound of old gears grinding together filled her ears and filled her with dread-
As a giant machine, shaped like a fish jumped from below and closed its jaws around 9S midair, swallowing him whole and disappearing beneath the waves.
"…."
"…."
"…."
"YoRHa Unit 9S, death confirmed."
"Pod 42?"
"Yes, Unit 2B?"
"Shut up."
"…Affirmative."
"Never speak of this again."
"Affirmative."
A/N: As I said,above, this fic is dedicated to TTY7, for her birthday. She is a very talented writer, well worth enjoying! Here is one of my personal favourites! Enjoy! And happy birthday buddy!
Wretched Weaponry
Androids were designed to protect their human masters. As if I'd believe that nonsense. They're nothing more than killing machines who gain sadistic pleasure from destruction. This one saving me doesn't change that fact. I'll never forgive them for what they've done and I won't rest until every last one of them is dead. (AU Timeline for DBZ)
