I own nothing. Enjoy!
[UTAU Housing: Room 23]
Ruko was fast asleep, entangled in her blankets. Her light snoring was the only sound in the room. She was so deep in sleep that she didn't notice Teto standing above her, staring down at the sleeping girl with emotionless eyes.
Teto looked to the clock that was sitting on the nightstand, it read 8:03, she then turned back to the sleeping girl. She slowly lifted her hands and carefully slid them under Ruko. Lifting the girl from the bed the robot girl turned and made her way to the side bathroom.
Making sure that she avoided the door frame she turned and stood before the bathtub. A quick scan told the robot that the water in the tub was a sufficient temperature. She then moved the sleeping girl above the water and then dropped her into the tub.
There was silence for a few seconds, and then Ruko began thrashing. The girl exploded out of the water and her blanket, she gasped for air, she wrapped her arms around herself as she suddenly felt the full chill of the water.
"Good morning."
"Teto?! Why am I in the tub?!"
"You are 30 minutes late for the transport to the academy. I understand that normal humans would want to take a bath before such activities as going to school."
"Teto, what day is it?"
"Saturday, October, 18th day. 8:06 in the morning."
Ruko nodded as she pushed herself into standing. She turned towards Teto and proceeded to punch the girl in the hand. She then recoiled as her hand clanged against the girl's metal frame. Teto tilted her head back and simply blinked.
"Why do you strike at me? Have I done something wrong?"
"Yes, Teto, you did something wrong. Today is Saturday, so school doesn't start for another five hours!"
Teto looked to the side as she seemed to be going over the information that Ruko presented her. She then slouched slightly.
"Oh, I apologize. I was only aware of the weekday schedule."
"Well its not that bad, I should probably have been up already."
Teto then straightened herself and nodded as Ruko just stared at her.
"Good, now I advise you hurry. I have prepared breakfast, Uta Utane is already up and waiting for you."
Following Teto's statement the two stood there staring at one another. Ruko could feel herself growing steadily growing annoyed. Finally she spoke up.
"Teto, I need you to get out of here."
"Why?"
"GET OUT!"
Teto was pushed out of the bathroom and the door was slammed behind her. It took her a few seconds to register what had happened, but when she did she simply shook her head and went to leave the room.
"Humans are really confusing creatures."
[C.H. Academy: Crypt Drop Facility]
Ruko yawned as she pulled her weapons out of her locker. Defoko sat on a bench behind her tightening the straps on her boots. The other UTAU and VOCAL students were finishing their preparations. Teto stood off in the corner watching the interactions between the others.
Ruko closed her locker as she placed her guns into their holsters, she then turned to Defoko as the mute girl locked a pair of black and amethyst gauntlets onto her arms. Locking the weapon down Defoko gave it a once over and smiled.
"I still don't understand why you chose punching as a way to deal with Cryptids, they aren't liable to just stand still."
'At least I don't have to waste money on ammunition.'
Ruko shrugged, she really couldn't argue with that logic. She was about to make a joke when Teto tapped her on the shoulder.
"What is it Kasane?"
"Why is everyone giving me such weird looks?"
"Probably because you are standing in the corner watching everyone get ready, most would think that to be inappropriate."
"I have no interest in such activities."
"Still, practically no one knows you're a robot, so they will think that if you continue staring at them."
Teto turned to the group of girls that she had been observing, they looked at her and began talking amongst themselves in hushed tones.
"Then I shall apologize for the misconception."
Ruko grabbed Teto's arm before she got too far, Teto simply turned and stared at her.
"You are not going to do that, we need to hurry and get to the platforms. 'Oko, you coming?"
The girl giggled and nodded, walking besides Ruko as she dragged Teto behind them.
[C.H. Academy: Drop Platforms]
Ruko stepped onto her platform, Defoko and Teto following and getting onto their respective platforms. Several scientists were typing at their consoles, making sure that the Drop wouldn't mess up. One of the scientists looked up from her computer and turned to Ruko.
"Ruko Yokune, are you prepared for Drop?"
"Whenever you are ready, I just want to get this over with."
The scientist nodded and returned to her console, she input a command and the platforms began to glow.
"Commencing UTAU Drop sequences in ten seconds."
Rings floated up from the platforms and began circling the three girls. Data like energy lines began lighting up around them. Red and blue for Ruko, Amethyst for Defoko, and Crimson for Teto. The rings began spinning faster and faster, each becoming a blur of light.
"Drop in five, four, three, two, one. Dropping!"
Ruko blinked and the world turnned white.
Ruko held out her arms as data began collection around her. The uniform began breaking apart and reforming. Her white coat turned black and enlongated until it was a trench coat, the sleeves vanished and reformed as seperated ones. Data wrapped around her as the familiar weight of the digital holsters formed around her pistols.
A headset and visor formed and Ruko felt herself begin to fall.
-UTAU DROP-
[00:55:37]
Ruko scanned her surroundings, trying to locate the Cryptids that Defoko had picked up. Defoko sat beside her typing on her data pad, Teto stood completely still, watching the sky.
"Are you sure its here? I can't see anything."
"Yes, there are two Imprisoned Eagles, and one Dual Cross. It says there are close, I have no idea why you can't see them yet."
Ruko sighed, Cryptids were alway finding ways on making things difficult for the ones hunting them. Ruko was about to call to Teto to make her move, but she was interrupted by the ground erupting. A large snake comprised of data cubes and virus circles shot upward. It moved its front towards Ruko and opened its leading cube, a sign that it was roaring. Ruko smiled as she pulled out her pistols.
"Well, we found the Dual Cross. Defoko, note that it is still in its infantile form for later."
Defoko nodded and stood, her gauntlets begining to glow as she raised her fists. Teto didn't do anything, Ruko was curious about this, but she left that thought alone.
The snake lunged and Ruko fired, the shots hit the open core and exploded, this caused the snake to reel back and close. Defoko dashed forward with incredible speeds, she then punched one of the lower cubes. Her armored fist connected and buried itself into the cube, purple fluid began spraying from the wound.
The snake bucked and threw Defoko, Ruko dropped her pistols and caught the flying girl. The snake then took its chance and rammed into the two. As Ruko slid to the side, Teto finally looked down to the snake.
Raising her arms the blades on her skirt began to open up. The front two blades seperated and began swirling around her as they opened up cannons. Ruko noticed this and raised an eyebrow as she put Defoko down.
"She has orbitals? Wait, is she the Utau I saw?"
Teto snapped her fingers, gaining the attention of snake. The snake lunged and the orbitals fired. Both shots impacted onto the snake's lead unit, exploding and melting holes into the armor. The snake collapsed and began rubbing its face into the ground, trying in vain to get rid of the melted pieces of its armor.
Defoko took her chance and dashed forward again, her gauntlets opening blades along the knuckles. She slammed both arms into one of the parts of the snake's body. Grunting Defoko then began to lift the massive Cryptid, tossing her arms up the snake then began flying into the air.
"Ruko now!"
Shaking herself Ruko rushed for her downed weapons. Grabbing then she jumped up and aimed for the holes in the snake's armor. Pulling the triggers she unloaded a torrent of bullets into the Cryptids exposed insides.
The Dual Cross landed and started writhing on the ground as smoke poured from its wounds. Teto's orbitals began circling the beast as they started unloading their own shots into the injured beast.
Teto then snapped again, the remaining two blades opened up and started circling her. Ruko watched in horror as the weapons turned the wounded creature into dust. Ruko looked to Teto to see that the robot girl's eyes were glowing with data streams.
"Two signatures detected, eliminating remaining Cryptids."
The orbitals then collected around her and aimed upward, they each then fired. There were four explosions, followed with crashing of two massive dragon-like Cryptids. Holes burned into their wings.
Ruko readied her guns as Defoko again opened her gauntlets blades. Teto lifted her hand and the orbitals slid forward and locked together into a diamond.
The two Cryptids rose and roared as their wings shifted into arms. The first one took one step and was immediately shot through its right eye by Ruko. The beast collapsed and exploded into data as the second one advanced.
Defoko rushed forward and punched the dragon's leg, the beast tripped and she followed up her attack with a punch to the beast's chest. The dragon hit the ground and slid back. Teto's orbitals then fired a shot that pierced the Cryptids chest, erasing it and leaving the hole reflecting like glass.
The beast fell to the ground and exploded, Teto collected her orbitals as Ruko gave her a look.
"Teto, is this your first time hunting?"
"Negative. I have been on five solo hunts beforehand."
"Great, then we need to talk when we get back."
Each of the girls, noting in their logs that the mission was complete, initiated their return Drop and vanished.
I hope you enjoyed!
Just to say, Defoko is mute in the real world. She can talk in Crypt.
How did I do with the transformation scene? Her Crypt attire is her actual attire exept updated for combat. Teto's is her Append, except with boots and wings.
Again I hope you enjoyed.
Have a nice day!
