3RD POV

PREVIOUSLY

She then pokes her horn on his forehead." She then walks away as the other soldiers were about to take me away as well" Wait. Let me talk to him for the last time." I walk up to him and put my hand on his shoulder " Hiro. There's 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."

Now...

Eren pulls his hand away from Hiro's shoulder and escorted him out of the room and the door closes. " Hiro." Miss Nana called him as he turns his look on her. " This was an order from Papa and the rest." She said, " Is it true that Zero Two is a partner killer?" Hiro asks " Zero Two is a special pistil who must keep fighting on the front lines for them. That will also take its toll on the stamen who becomes her partner. Keep in mind, She's not like you normal children." " You mean she isn't human?" He asks again, " Simply put, Yes." Hiro was silent at that moment. " What about Eren? He helped us despite that he's not even human." He implied. Miss Nana looks at him " Papa and the adults voted they want him to go to the front lines to see his skills and capabilities, Maybe test him to make more of him instead of using Franxx." Hiro becomes silent again " No. Zero Two and Eren is just like us!" He thought and ran and exited the room " Stop! Hiro!" Miss Nana shouted trying to stop him

MEANWHILE

The soldiers were escorting Zero Two and Eren. And then Zero Two stops and the soldier who's behind at Zero Two put his guards and raises his weapon at her. " What is it?" The soldier asks pointing his weapon at Zero Two, " Nothing." She replied and continue to walk. " Zero Two!" Hiro shouted as she glances to see Hiro on the other side of the door trying to get in the other side. She continues to walk away and Eren sees this but continues to walks away. " Aren't you gonna do something?" Eren asks Zero Two and she didn't respond as Hiro was banging the door. Hiro saw her and shouted " Wait up! Zero Two!" He called as he tried banging again the invisible door to get her attention. "Hear me out! I...I was afraid of riding with you. I'm probably still afraid of it. But that's not because you aren't human. It's because I lacked resolve! When we first met, I couldn't take my eyes off you. You were confident, held your head high, and were ready t fight the Klaxosaurs even when hurt! And I found that beautiful! I'm moping around, but I felt like I could fly with you. I realized that I never cared about riding the FRANXX. I wanted to ride with you! So please don't go! Zero Two!" Both Eren and Zero Two stops. " Hey, Keep moving." One of the soldiers said as they point their weapons at the " How can I leave after that?" She said. Before the soldier can do anything Eren pulls out his sword cuts the gun in half and punches it knocking the soldier out. And Zero Two backflips and grabs its gun kicking the soldier. She landed on the railing and turns to Eren. " Eren, Let's go!" She said, But Eren turns to her put his sword back to the box and replied " Go. I'll distract the others." She stops in a moment and sighs and turns to Hiro. She started walking down using the railings of the escalator and fired at the glass manage to damage it. She throws the gun away and jumps to the glass and breaks it and landed on the other side where Hiro is. Hiro turned to Zero Two. "Zero Two..." " Nobody's ever said such embarrassing things to me before." " I-It was a first time for me, too." He replied embarrassed " You wanna ride with me, huh?" She asks as he turns to her blushing with a small smile " I'll do it."He said, " Let me hear it one more time." She replied, " Let me ride in Strelizia again!!" He shouted and Zero Two smiles and grabbed his hand. Before they could go they look where Eren is, They saw him getting cornered by the soldiers. Eren look at them as he nodded signaling them to go as he surrenders to them. " Let's go. Darling!" She said as he drags him towards her FRANXX. When they arrived at the FRANXX they enter it and rides it. An orange screen pops out and Miss Nana on it. " Both of you, get out of there right now." She ordered sternly " I'm going out with my darling." " You are not getting permiss-" before she could finish Zero Two push a button ending the call. She turns to Hiro and asked, " What's up darling?" " Will I be really able to pilot?" He asks " Of course you can do this. We can do this." She reassures her as Hiro smiled softly. Zero Two looks away " Ready?" She asks as the hood of her suit automatically puts on her head, Hiro breaths slowly and replies " Yeah, It'll be alright."

MEANWHILE

Eren was getting escorted to another ship due the original was destroyed in the process by Hiro and Zero Two escaping. They load him up to the other ship and flew off. Eren was closing his eyes throughout the flight he opens his eyes and sees Unit 13 fighting off the Klaxosaur. He looks at the soldiers in front of him as he turns his hand into a fist as blood coming out. The soldier notices the blood and asks " Hey, What are you doing?" Before he could do anything yellow lighting flows through his body and the ship exploded as Eren turns into his Titan form and roars.

Unit 13 was having trouble escaping from the Klaxosaur grasp. " Shit." Ichigo cursed. Unit 13 heard the familiar roar and looked up to see the humanoid monster. It then landed on the Klaxosaur. It jumps down on the ground and white spikes came out from the ground stabbing the Klaxousau letting Unit 13 go. The Klaxosaur tried to attack the Eren but Streilizia managed to stop its attack saved him by stabbing the Klaxosaur's tail. They take a step back and asked " Eren! Are you okay?" Zero Two asks. The others were confused and surprise to call the humanoid monster 'Eren'. They all look at the monster " That's Eren?" Zorome asks. Then something came out of its nape releasing smoke steam, It was Eren coming out. " Yeah. I'm okay." He said panting. It's all yours ." " Alright!" Hiro said as Streilizia flew and headed to its mouth. Streilizia saw the mouth was forcefully opened by Eren's White spikes. They flew inside the Klaxosaur stabbing the way through the Klaxosaur's body heading to its core. " AHHHHH!" and finally hits the core and the Klaxosaur exploded and it rains of blue blood. The others except Eren were shocked by Hiro's and Zero Two's Power. The core slowly falls from the spear.

Back at the plantation, Hachi ordered the Unit to retreat. " Target Neutralized. All units, return to base." Miss Nana entered the call " I can't believe she ignored Papa's orders. Was she planning this all along?" Then an orange screen pops showing the schematics of Streilizia. " But this changes everything, The numbers conclusively prove Code 016's compatibility with Streilizia. How will Papa and the others react to this?"

Unit 13 was in the living room with Eren. They were gonna discuss Eren's transformation. Zoro asks the question first " How can you transform into that humanoid monster? he asks. " You won't understand either it's complicated," Eren responded. " So you're the monster that defeated Klaxosaur with Streilizia?" Goro asks. Eren just nodded in response " Look, If you think one of those Klaxosaurs, I'm not. I'm here to help you guys." The rest of them was unconvinced. Hiro stood up and said "He's saying the truth! He helped us defeat the Klaxosaur attack on the first day and the time when Zero Two and Mitsuro fighting off the Klaxosaurs until they help arrived. He's one of us. He's different like Zero Two but a little different. I trust him." Hiro said. Eren looked at him quite shock trusting him even he's a total stranger. " I trust him as well." Ikuno and the rest turn to her. " He saved Mitsuru, If he didn't help there's was a chance I couldn't ride a FRANXX anymore." She added. " Me too." Zero Two said. " He left behind so he could stall the soldiers. And gave me time to meet up with Darling. And he helped us defeat the Klaxosaur with his ability." They turn to Eren as Goro sighs and stood up with a smile " I guess you're part of this team, Eren. Sorry for doubting you." He reaches out for his hand. Eren looked at Goro's hand and holds it and then shakes it " It's okay...You are guys are careful who you trust which is good." They let go and the others smiled except Mitsuru and then Miku stood up " Come on! Let's look at the other Plantation." They all nodded and stood up

" PLANTATION 13 WILL CARRY OUT THE KISSING WITH PLANTATION 26." They heard over the speakers as Unit 13 and Eren are looking through the glass. Eren was pretty amazed by the technologies in this world. Even the Marleyans don't have this kind of technology. " Say what is kissing? anyway." Zorome asks " You were watching all this time without knowing a thing?" Miku said with arrogance in her voice " Shut up, Dumbass! Do you know all about it?" Zorome replied " It's when two plantations are stuck together, right." She answered clearly her answer is wrong. They continue to talk as Eren was busy looking at the other plantation throughout the window.

Everyone was in the living room talking as Eren just finishwashing his face. He sat down on the chair and sighs of relief from the freshwater. " Yesterday's ceremony was something else, huh? I was so excited, I had trouble getting sleep last night." Kokoro said " Plantation 26's squad leader seemed like a nice guy." Miku added, " Is he the kind of guy you'd like to ride with?" Kokoro asks Miku " Better him than the boys we're stuck with. Except for Eren since he's the new guy. But don't you agree?" She asks Ikuno. " No. I really don't care." She replied. " Wow, what a wet blanket," Miku said. She turns to Eren and asks " What about you, Eren? What do you think?" Eren looks at her and replied " This thing is really new for me. So it's kinda interesting to see this other plantation as well." Miku nodded by his answer with a smile," It gives you a real lift when the adults have high hopes for you. huh?" Zorome said, " Yeah, It shows they really need us." Futoshi responded as Zorome stands up and raises his hand " Boys and girls! You are strong! We believe that you will surely bring us to victory!" They all softy laugh about what he said. " And I'll be the one who leads us to victory!" He shouted, " You mean Hiro and Eren will." Ichigo said as both of the boys becomes eyes widened after what she just said. " Oh yeah, you two shone in the previous battle," Kokoro said. "But how are you? All good?" Futoshi asks Hiro. " Well, Yeah, Everything is fine." " Awesome!" He replied "Looks like the "three times and you die." rumor was all nonsense." " Or that he's completely compatible with her

After the small talk, they went to the dining room and were greeted by Zero Two. " Morning, darling!" She greeted Hiro " M-Morning." He replied as She smiles then leads him to his seat. Eren grabs 2 loaves of bread and puts one of them in his mouth and headed outside." Ichigo turns to him and asks " Where are you going? Are you going eat those loaves of bread only?" She asks. " Yeah, I'm going to train." he replied and carries his ODM gear " See you later." He said and headed outside.

Goro was looking at his FRANXX as Zorome called him. " Goro!" Goro turns to Zorome and sees the others and squad 26. The 13 and 26 were walking through the room with Eren as well as he wanted to hear more about how their system works and about the FRANXX " Your FRANXX all have unique designs." The squad leader said, " What are you talking about?" Goro asks " We thought that was standard." " Of course not. Our FRANXX has similar have bodies and equipment all around. That makes it easier to fight as a team." He replied " I've been told you're a hastily-assembled test team. Is this your first taste of kissing?" He asks " Yeah." " I see. We are vastly more experienced. If there's anything you don't understand, just ask." Zorome raises his hand. " I HAVE A QUESTION! Have any of your children become adults?" Eren caught his attention and glance at them and one of the members whispers something to the leader " Oh that you mean. Not from Our squad no." " Really? Even Rumors?" " No.sorry". The squad leader looks at Eren and asks " Who's that?" " Oh that's Eren, He's a extra on our team." The squad leader turns to him " Extra? I never know there was an extra. where's his partner?" He asks. " Eren... Is special. He doesn't need a FRANXX to eliminate a Klaxosaur, he can take care of himself, We trust him. He's our friend."
