3RD POV 

The Delphinium carry Argentina and runs off as Genista follows them. Eren readies himself " Well then. "Bring me what you got!" He shouted. He shoots his anchors at one of the Klaxosaurs and it repelled him towards the Klaxosaur and uses his blade to cut the monster in half and cutting the core as well. The Gate starts to close. Eren managed to take down some more. His blades are almost destroyed. He saw the gate closing " Shit." He cursed as he looks back at the Klaxosaurs hisses at him. He turns around and to grapple his way to the gate. The Klaxosaurs chase him but Eren made it on time as the Gate closes. He sighs in relief but he heard the things pounding on the gate. He turns around and his eyes widened. The gate slowly gates destroy by the Klaxosaur. " Shit. Shit! SHIT!" He curses again and uses his ODM Maneuver gear to get the hell outta there 

MEANWHILE

Miku starts to wake up regaining her conciseness " What?" She said as Zorome approaches her "Miku!" He called her and hugs her. "Nani!?"  She was surprised and blushed " Ichigo what's the status." Miss Nana asks " We're at the extracting point. We're waiting for Eren to come." "  Strelizia is coming to relieve you. Can you hold on?" When Ichigo heard this she completely shuts down as Goro was having a hard time controlling the FRANXX. " Who's...Who's controlling it?." She mutters. Goro tried to control as hard as he can " Hang on, Ichigo! Focus...The controls aren't responding. Ichigo!" Goro called her. "OI!!" They turn to the hallway where they went through and saw Eren " Eren!!" They all said at the same time. " More Klaxosaur is coming this way!" He shouted. They turn at his back and their eyes widened as they saw many Klaxosaurs coming their way. Eren get's on Delphinium shoulder. They got surrounded by the Klaxosaurs. " We can't take on this kind of many," Fujoshi said. Eren removes the damaged blades from the hilts and gets a pair of new blades. Argentina turns around and her eyes widened " Hey, Leader...What now?" Miku said as the rest turns and turn into a shocked expression to see a bigger version of the Klaxosaur. " If I had not let my mind wander back there, maybe this wouldn't happen." She said to herself as the creature walks forward at them " Maybe the Strelizia could've made it on time. I'm a failure of a leader." It then opens its mouth ready to devour them. But Streiliza came right on time and stabs the Klaxosaur on the head. "Streiliza!" They all shouted except Eren. The Klaxosaur explodes into pieces. " Hiro? Is that you Hiro?" Ichigo asks " The rest of you, stay back!" Mitsuru shouted, " Wait, Is that Mitsuru?" Zorome asks " Let the Streilizia handle the rest, All other units, retreat!" " Roger!" Goro replied, " Let's go, Ichigo." " Right." She replied Mitsuru panted and laughs a bit  " Incredible! All this power. I feel invincible! Who knew your partner would be made such a difference? I knew the problem wasn't me!" The Strelizia attacks the Klaxosaur stabbing its weapon on its head " I won't lose to Hiro!" Mitsuru shouted " Hiro, are you watching? I'm in peak condition! " The Strelizia continues to attack at the Klaxosaurs. " You won't see me losing consciousness.! This thing obeys my every whim! Why I wouldn't mind continuing as your partner. We would make the ultimate team, don't you think?" He asks. 

Eren heard Mitsuri being cocky he sighs and looks down " Since you guys are almost up there. I'll go back down." The Delphinium looks at him " What!? Eren wait!" He jumps down and lands on a Klaxosaur. " Maybe this guy could use a little help," He said and the others reach on top he then bites his own hand as Yellow lightning flows his body. Then Zero Two was sucking the life out of Mitsuru when a yellow light appeared on their back they all can see is smoke and with a pair of green eyes glowing through it. Then Eren was come out of the smoke in his Titan form and Mitsuru was terrified " W-What...WHAT THE HELL IS THAT!" he shouted and tried to attack it but the FRANXX couldn't move because Zero-Two controls it. " Ohh. That's what he meant." Zero Two said. Then Mitsuru passed out due to Eren's Appearance and Zero Two. More Klaxosaurs come out and the two finish them off. Back at the Plantation Ikuno and Hiro were shocked to reveal the identity of the humanoid monster the other day. "Eren...What are you?" Hiro said softly said as Eren roars ripping the Klaxosaur into two.

Back on top. The rest of the unit was outside of their FRANXX waiting to get fetch.  " We had to be saved again. " We had to be saved again Kokoro said, " I didn't expect Mitsuru to be the one riding." Zorome turns to Miku " I'm sorry. It was my fault." He apologizes " Don't be stupid. It doesn't matter who was at fault." She said, " We partners, aren't we?" Tears coming out from Zorome's eyes "Miku!" and starts wipes off his tears. " Is something the matter? You're not acting like yourself." Goro said to Ichigo " Sorry. When I heard help was coming, I must have let my guard down." She said. The Streilizia coming back and Eren's was on its shoulder. " Oh, They're back," Goro said. Then Eren gets off the Streilizia, He was covered in blue blood and his black shirt is destroyed revealing his abs. He walked past not saying a word. Then Zero two comes out from her FRANXX and Zero Two saw Hiro and waves and smiles at him and he did the same back. "The hand that was offered to me alone, the price of that smile." He then froze and saw Mitsuru covered with blood " Mitsuru?" He asks " I knew you weren't cut to be my darling. My darling can be only you." She turns to Hiro with a smile.

  TIME-SKIP

" Demon...She's a demon...You would be insane to ride with her. You'll be killed." Mitsuru muttered as Fujoshi picks up the tray with food on it that supposedly for Mitsuru. He checks on him before leaving the room.  " How is he?" Ichigo asks " He hasn't even touched his food. Maybe I should eat it so it doesn't go to waste." Fujoshi said looking at the tray full of food. " He's been like this since we got back," Zorome added. Hiro gets in the room and Eren follows him. He turns to Mitsuru "Mitsuru, What happened back there with Zero Two. What I mean..." "She tried to suck everything out of me. My blood, my flesh, my very soul. Every last thing.

EREN'S POV

I lay my back on the wall and continue to listen to their conversation. I can see from him was really terrified when he was with Zero Two. He grabs Hiro by the collar " Worse, she was laughing! Laughing all a while!" He shouted " Mitsuru!" Kokoro said, " Calm down!" Fujoshi added " Ride again., and this will happen. This will happen to you too! Or do you think you're special!? Don't be so deluded!" He shouted as he was forced by Fujisho to lay down. I then exited the room and Hiro followed me outside. When I got outside I say my back on the wall and Hiro walks over to me looking down. " Eren...About the mission..." I cut him off  " The humanoid monster? Yeah, that's me." He said and his expression turns into a shocking state his eyes widened and turns to me " W-What? H-how?" he asks and I just turn to him " Hiro, I may not be human. I have no intention to hurt you guys nor the people in the plantation." I offered my hand to him " I'm your comrade and friend." I said. He looks at my hand and shakes it " I hope that's true, Eren." We let go of our hands turns to Zorome and Fujisho playing. Ichigo shows up and lays her back on the wall as well " I can't bring myself to trust her." She said, " After seeing Mitsuru in that state. If those partners killers are true, you could die if you ride with her  two more times." She added, " Even so, there's still hope for me with Zero Two." Her hand turns into a fist and looks at him " So you have to resolve to face that. All right. I won't stop you." Hiro turns to her " Ichigo?" " I also to find my resolve as the leader." She then walks past them. " She's lacking leadership. I could tell.." I said Hiro turns to me " Don't say that. She's trying her best." I then stop leaning against the wall and turns the direction where Ichigo went.

3RD'S POV

Horns blaring " One worm-type Klaxosaur, currently burrowing toward  13th  plantation. Most Likely  in response to the kissing mobile form's energy release." The pilot as a worm type Klaxosaur heading towards the 13th Plantation. Mitsuru tries to stand up from his bed " I can also.." Ikuno was there watching until she spoke out " Can you move?" She asks " This is enough to keep me down." He replied " Here. Lean on me." Ikuno walks towards him and he tried to stop her " No need." Mitsuru replied he slowly walk towards her. He was about to fall but Ikuno catches him " You always make things difficult." She said as she helps him to walk. " The Klaxosaur's classification is unknown. Currently, We have detected one, but there may be more. Exercise caution." Haichi said to the unit." " UNDERSTOOD!" All of them replied. They started to head to the Klaxosaur. Eren, Hiro, Zero Two runs inside the briefing room and saw Miss Nana inside.  Is there only one?" Hiro asks Nana. "For the time being."  She replied and glance at Zero Two. She then finally turns to her "We won't deploy Strelizia just because you're in your suits." Nana said. Zero Two put her hands behind her head " I didn't even say anything." She said looking away. They continue to watch the battle as the Klaxosaur was getting the upper hand. "See it would be best If we joined them?" Zero Two said. " If we keep watching there a possibility that they won't survive the new Klaxosaur," Eren said " We can't allow that," Nana said "Rules... Incidentally, who was on that transportation that just docked?" Zero Two asks and Hiro turns to his right side to find a bunch of soldiers entering the room

EREN'S POV

I saw the soldiers coming in as they surround us and aimed their weapons at Zero Two and me." Code 002. You are coming with us." One of the soldiers said "Your escort is here. Behave and do as they say. Zero Two. You will be returning to the front lines. Alone of course." Miss Nana said, " What's the meaning of this?" I demanded as Miss Nana turns to us " Sorry Eren, Papa, and the adults wanted to see your skills on the front lines with Zero Two." This made me angry " You can't do this to me! I'm no one's Toy!" I angrily shouted at Nana " Sorry Eren. There's nothing I could do." She replied softly " Come on you two, Hurry.  We should leave while the FRANXX are distracting the Klaxosaur." One guard holds her shoulder and one holds mine. She then pushes the soldier away sending the soldier to a wall and I grabbed a blade using my hilt and slashes the soldier's neck as blood sprays out. Some hit on my face but I didn't care. I stared at the guards coldly as they point their weapons at us " Zero Two...Eren...what's" ZeroTwo only smiles and turns to him " Darling, looks like time's up." She walks over to her " I thought things could go smoothly with you. I wish we could have been together. But this farewell." She then pokes her horn on his forehead." She then walks away as the other soldiers took away the t" Wait. Let me talk to him for the last time." I walk up to him and put my hand on his shoulder " Hiro. Nothing more you can do to prevent this from happening. But you just keep going forward." I looked at him in the eye directly " Until your enemies are destroyed."
