2B is at a weak state. She limped across the bridge, tried her hardest to fight off the machines, but wasn't able. The more she got hit, the more of her circuits are being fried. She cannot go on much longer. And then…she comes across…HER. The one and only Yorha fugitive, A2. She comes up to her, giving a cold stare. 2B knows that she stands no chance against this powerful android, maybe stronger than her.
2B uses her sword to support herself and struggles to her feet. A2 keeps on staring, not bothering to draw her weapon.
"A2…" 2B breathes. "There is one…request…I have to give…!"
A2 crosses her arms. "What…?" Her stoic voice is heard.
2B can remember the first time she met A2. She and 9S have encountered her, hearing that she's a fugitive and needs to be eliminated on the spot. But for 2B…she didn't feel like killing her, even when she and 9S fought with everything they got. And A2 still got away. But 2B felt something she had never felt before: she fell in love with A2 at first sight. Was it love? The Yorha aren't required to have such emotion…or so she was told. But that feeling stayed with her since that encounter.
And now, here they are, face to face once again. 2B cuts off her blind fold, revealing her beautiful eyes and drops to her knees again. She doesn't have much time left. Fighting A2 is pointless. All there is left is…
"Take care…of everyone…" 2B manages to say. "Take care of…the future…A2…"
A2 looks at the weakened Yorha android. She knows 2B is asking her to put her out of her misery for the sake of moving on. But…something tells her that it's not the case. Something deep inside her is telling her something else. The long haired Yorha android picks up the sword and points the blade at 2B. But…she then tosses it aside and then embraces her.
"Wha…?" 2B gasps.
"No…" A2 says. "The future…depends on all of us. You are needed here…"
"But…"
"I'll be the one to take care of you until you are well again…" A2 continues. "There's no need to worry."
2B can feel another emotion running through her: bliss. Absolute bliss. A2 is willing to help her instead of killing her. For her…it's alright. She lets A2 hug her tenderly while she rests her head on her large chest, her arms at her sides.
"I thank you…A2…." 2B says softly and closes her eyes.
A2 looks over and gives a small smile. She gently squeezes the weak android in her arms, cradling her.
9S crosses the bridge and looks up to see A2 holding 2B tenderly in her arms. He then smiles a small smile. He is glad…that A2 has saved 2B.
