*Y/N POV*

Heliconia: "Everyone! Get back!"

We get Heliconia's scythe out and stood before Strelitzia's in her stampede mode.

(Y/N): "Ryuko, we can't hold back against her now"

Heliconia: "Yhm. Zero, we really didn't want to do this, but you give us no choice" at this Strelitzia just roared and get ready to jump. She leap into the air pinning us to the ground. Heliconia get her paws away, trying to not be slashed

(Y/N): "Damn it" Then her tail get high above Heliconia's face. I quickly made her roll out of the way "If we get hit by that, it could end badly. Ryuko, we need to keep her busy until her fuel get down!"

Heliconia: "Got it" We got up and stood face to face with Strelitzia. With our scythe ready we started circling each other. Then Strelitzia leaps like a cat but we hit her with dull side of our scythe, knocking her aside. She roared and went for a jump again, only to get grabbed by the neck and slammed on the ground by Heliconia.

(Y/N): "Zero Two, stop this instant! We don't want to hurt you. Let Hiro go and get out of Strelitzia" I was only met with an roar and another try at slashing us. Then she used her hind legs and get Heliconia off her. Strelitzia wastes no time, jumping on Heliconia and started slashing her torso

Heliconia: "Aghh!" she screamed in pain

(Y/N): "Ryuko! That's it. No more child's play. Scissor Scythe, Full Power!" I set Heliconia's scythe on fire and hit Strelitzia to her side. It leaves some burn marks, but it was not enough to serve Zero's connection

'Dammit... Dammit! Dammit! Dammit! Dammit!'

While I was cursing myself for letting this to happen, Strelitzia jumped on us and started pulling Heliconia's arm. She seems to know it won't work. She get her tail above Heliconia's cockpit again

'Fuck. I can't get Heliconia out of here. This is it...'

Heliconia: "Zero Two! Stop!" I meanwhile get ready to eject Ryuko out. I know nothing would happen to us, but I want to spare her pain through Heliconia's connection

(Y/N): "Ryuko..."

Heliconia: "I know what are you thinking. Don't you dare!" then from out of nowhere, Delphinium tackled Strelitzia aside. They slide about 100 meters until they stop. Strelitzia quickly bite Delphinium's arm off making Ichigo  to scream in pain"

Delphinium: "Aaaaa!"

Everyone: "Delphinium!"

(Y/N): "Ichigo, we told you to stay away!"

Delphinium: "I won't let you two get hurt!" she turned to Strelitzia "Hiro, get away from Zero Two! She got closer to you to suck you dry! If you stay with her, even you'll lose your humanity!" she holds Strelitzia in a headlock. She trashes a little but Delphinium have nothing of it. Soon Strelitzia's eyes get black and she stopped moving. 

Heliconia: "This is over..." we walk over to them, deactivate Heliconia and jump down. I see Ichigo trying to open Strelitzia's faceplate

(Y/N): "Ichigo, get back" I looked at her arm "It's broken" I went to Strelitzia's right and pulled emergency opening. Soon we hear a hiss and Strelitzia's faceplate opens up. Ichigo quickly rushed inside

Ichigo: "Get your hands off of Hiro!" she throw Zero Two at us. Me and Goro catch her

(Y/N): "Zero... what happened?" I looked at her tear stained face but got no answer

Ichigo: "Hiro! Hiro! Pull yourself together, Hiro!"

Ryuko: "Guys, give me Zero. (Y/N), go check on Hiro" I nodded, walked to Heliconia and got my standard med bag from there

(Y/N): "Ichigo, move aside for a moment"

Ichigo: "(Y/N)! Is he alive?!" I checked if he is breathing and his pulse

(Y/N): "Yes. But he is really beaten" I looked at her arm again "We should stabilize your arm. It may hurt a little" I get some of Life Fibers from my fingers to create makeshift sling.

*small timeskip, hangar*

Our return was silent. Everyone was giving Zero Two horrified look. Ichigo and Goro get with me and Ryuko inside Heliconia, with Delphinium on our back. Genista was towing Strelitzia, with Zero Two inside. Hiro was taken by a truck, as this was the fastest way to get him to infantry. After our return we see Hiro in the bed, with air mask on his face. Ichigo quickly went to be by his side. She was taken with him to get her arm together. After a little interrogation we went to check with Hachi and Nana

Ryuko: "You said a while ago that this is some type of Mexican telenovela, right, so at what level are we now?"

(Y/N): "Brazilian..."

Ryuko: "That bad?"

(Y/N): "That bad..." we entered the room

Nana: "What happened?"

(Y/N): "Zero lost her mind. She tried to push Hiro even more than before"

Nana: "His yellow blood cell count has gone far beyond what the human body can handle"

Ryuko: "So he will change into a hybrid like Zero Two..."

Nana: "His saurification could begin any moment now"

Hachi: "His mind is clearly hazy. Did he connected to 002's mind too deeply via Strelitzia?"

(Y/N): "Maybe that got him to remember her? We should wait until he wakes up"

Nana: "That's what we gonna do. But if we got orders from APE we need to follow"

Hachi: "This could be the end to our plans. (Y/N), Ryuko, you are dismissed. Go do the damage control"

(Y/N): "Yes sir" we walked out and get to medical wing. Soon we meet with the rest of squad near Ichigo's room

Ryuko: "How is she?"

Goro: "She have her arm broken in three places. They put it together now and she should get out any moment..." then Ichigo exited

(Y/N): "You good Ichigo?"

Ichigo: "Now I am... How is Hiro?"

Goro: "Unconscious. You should rest Ichigo. See you tomorrow" We walked out of the wing and soon enough everyone in in their room. No one wanting to talk about today's events

*next day*

We are on our way to visit Hiro. Just as we are about to enter we spotted Zero Two, swaying from side to side

Ichigo: "Wait! Hey! I'm talking to you!" she grabbed her shoulder and turned Zero around "I said wait!"

Zero Two: "Don't stop me. I need to see my darling"

Ichigo: "You can't be serious! Do you realize who put Hiro in that hospital bed?"

(Y/N): "Ichigo, calm down..." she turned to me with eyes full of anger

Ichigo: "No one is going to visit him unless I say so! You're not getting anywhere near Hiro ever again"

Goro: "C-Calm down, Ichigo. She must be worried about him too, you know"

Ryuko: "We know you are upset, Ichigo, we are all worried about..." Ichigo cut her out

Ichigo: "I don't want to hear it Ryuko"

Miku: "Why are you getting so worked up, Ichigo?"

Ichigo: "You want to know why?! All this time she deceived Hiro and exploited him. She just tried to make him lose his humanity" She turned to Zero 

Futoshi: "'Lose his humanity'"

Ichigo: "You suck up your partner's life and discard them once you're done. And you've killed many, many people that way! "

Goro: "Who told you that?" she pointed at me and Ryuko

Ichigo: "Me, Ryuko and (Y/N) overheard Nana and Hachi. They said that if this keeps up, Hiro can no longer be called human"

Ikuno: "Is that true, Zero Two?"

Kokoro: "Of course not, right?"

Goro: "It has to be a misunderstanding. You two have managed just fine so far" Zero bite down her nail

Zero Two: "Shut up. What I do to my darling is none of your damn business"

'You couldn't have said anything Zero... You just getting yourself deeper in this hole'

Ichigo: "So you admit it?"

Zero Two: "Happy now? Just let me see my darling" Ichigo get in front of Zero Two. I just get ready to intervene

Ichigo: "At first, I had my misgivings about having you as part of our team. But you started to fit in and I thought we had finally become teammates"

Zero Two: "Teammates? I couldn't care less about that. Outta my way already" Zero went to push Ichigo aside but she grab her arm

Ichigo: "Well, I don't care how you feel. I'm never letting you see Hiro again. You've been deceiving him and us this whole time. You really are just a monster and a freak!" I get fiber floating from my hand, but to my surprise, Zero just walk away.

Ryuko: "Ichigo... do you really think that because someone is different... that means that they are a freak... and a monster...?" Knowing what she just said Ichigo turned around

Ichigo: "Ryuko... I didn't mean it about you two..." I cut her off

(Y/N): "Well, now you can stuff it Ichigo... You are letting your emotions get better of you again. If you excuse us, we have a friend to take care" Me and Ryuko walked away in search for Zero. After what it seems four hours we can't find her. Then Goro messaged me that Hiro is finally awake and Miku would be standing guard. We quickly get down and soon enough we see Miku standing, holding a broom like a gun

(Y/N): "Hey Miku"

Miku: "Hey (Y/N). Hey Ryuko. He should still be awake by now if you want to visit"

Ryuko: "But what are you doing here?"

Miku: "We decided to not let Zero Two near Hiro for now"

(Y/N): "He know about this?"

Miku: "We didn't tell him" With that we entered the room. 

Hiro: "Hey you two. Have you find Zero Two? How is she?"

Ryuko: "We searched the whole Mistilteinn without any sight of her"

(Y/N): "Even if we could find her, the rest want to keep her away from you"

Hiro: "I was afraid that would be the case" He sighed "But since you two are here you can tell me everything" We grabbed the chairs and sit down near him

Ryuko: "What do you want to know?"

Hiro: "I know this sound crazy, but hear me out. When me and her connected, our minds linked and I saw Zero Two's memories. Thanks to that I remembered everything" he got his head down and started crying  "We know each other since we were kids. I got my memories erased, but she kept hers. I want to know, if you two knew about this?"

(Y/N): "When we met you for the first time, she told us that it was you, her darling. Later, before we went to the beach Dr. FranXX confirmed it. He told us he had to erase your memories or he, you and Zero Two will be killed"

Hiro: "But why didn't you told me anything?"

Ryuko: "We wanted to, but Zero told us she got it. We even offered to get rid of your memory block with our powers but every time she refused"

(Y/N): "I told her to recreate thing you two were doing back there. We had a talk with her when she started acting weird. It turned out that she decided she was wrong with you"

Ryuko: "That's why she get her klaxosaur side get better of her. She was stressed her love of life was gone forever. Council told her that if she kill enough klaxosaurs she will get you back"

Hiro: "So that's why she was so worked up with killing them..."

(Y/N): "When we first met Zero she told us everything, how she was experimented on. How Dr.FranXX tried to protect her, but to no effort. How you wanted to save her.... thank you Hiro... thanks to you my little cousin got a glimpse of hope"

Hiro: "Cousin...?"

(Y/N): "Hiro, you saw Zero's memories. Dr.FranXX is my uncle..."

Ryuko: "And you know who we really are"

Hiro: "I saw you two talking to her... about saving the world"

(Y/N): "Hiro. We are from the old world. For real my name is (Y/N)(L/N)"

Ryuko: "And my name is Ryuko Matoi. We both, together with our friends, saved our planet 150 years ago from my psycho mother"

(Y/N): "We were in cryogenic sleep until the time came. We were sent here to save Earth from APE" he seemed shocked

Hiro: "You two are joking, right?"

(Y/N): "No. We are absolutely serious. Earth was once a beautiful green planet. What APE was doing during those 150 years destroyed it. They violated many moral rules from old world, such as letting kids fight. You never really tasted a real freedom"

Ryuko: "Dr.FranXX chosen your squad, because you were different than other parasites"

Hiro: "Different?"

(Y/N): "You have emotions, you have somehow ability to think for yourself. You feel pain, happiness, sadness, fear..." I looked at Ryuko and took her hand "...love. We are supposed to teach you guys everything. But we couldn't with APE looking at our hands"

Hiro: "Tell me... What is your plan?"

(Y/N): "Hiro, you swore to not tell anyone until it starts?"

Hiro: "I promise. If I can be with Zero Two thanks to that, I will even be the first to join you" I chuckled

(Y/N): "Okay. Plan have three stages as for now. Stage one was to earn your trust and start teaching you basics, like love, crushes, responsibility. After Doctor confirmed you are Zero's darling we postponed stage two until she get your memories back"

Ryuko: "Stage two is to leave plantation..."

Hiro: "Leave plantation? But can we really leave outside there?"

(Y/N): "Yes. You saw that city near the beach. It was green like in old times, nothing like wastelands all around plantation. We think when we stop APE and their magma energy extraction, the rest of the planet should return to looking like that"

Hiro: "It's all thanks to the extraction of magma energy... "

(Y/N): "You were right back at the beach. If not for APE you all would have normal live, without klaxosaurs, without worries of being killed."

Ryuko: "(Y/N), seems like we get our first ally among Squad 13"

(Y/N): "Yeah. What do you say Hiro?"

Hiro: "I saw what they did to Zero Two in her memories. I now know what they did to our planet. I would be blind not to help, but one question, who else knows about it?"

Ryuko: "As for now us, Zero Two, Dr.FranXX, my sister and her fiance, Nana, Hachi and Dr. Inumuta"

Hiro: "Wait, what does 'fiance' means?"

(Y/N): "Do you know what 'marriage' or 'to marry someone' means?"

Hiro: "Picture book... It was in Zero Two's picture book. We promised to marry each other in the future"

(Y/N): "So, fiance means a person you are engaged to, and you engage before you marry"

Ryuko: "From what you told us Hiro, you already proposed to Zero when you were little"

Hiro: "I do?"

(Y/N): "When you promise to a girl you will marry her, that's counts as engagement"

Hiro: "You two really know a lot about this..."

Ryuko: "That's because we are engaged too, Hiro" she showed him her ring

(Y/N): "We planned to marry each other back in our times, but helping my uncle was more important"

Hiro: "One more thing. (Y/N), Ryuko. Who is Zero Two to you two?" I think for a little

(Y/N): "She is my little cousin. I care about her like she is my sibling. She lived through too much during her sixteen year old life. I want the best for her, and you Hiro are what she needs. Every time she was talking with us about you, she had tears in her eyes, missing you everyday. She means nearly as much to us as she does to you"

Hiro: "I see... You told me you are not humans like her..." I cut him off

(Y/N): "More like we all are not humans now" I smiled 

Hiro: "We?"

Ryuko: "After what she did to you, you passed the point of no return. You are officially one of us now"

Hiro: "One of us?"

(Y/N): "Hybrids. While me and Ryuko are Life Fiber hybrids, you and Zero Two are part Klaxosaurs"

Ryuko: "Soon you will get those cute horns like Zero. Welcome to our little pack"

Hiro: "So that's why you two can only connect to each other?"

(Y/N): "Yup. We didn't took any elixirs or yellow blood cell shots"

Ryuko: "They tried to get (Y/N) to ride with Zero Two, but he couldn't even start Strelitzia"

Hiro: "When?"

(Y/N): "Test rides for Nines. That's how we met Alpha and his stupid squad"

Hiro: "You only told me he wanted to recruit you two..." I cut him off

(Y/N): "When we joined Zero Two, she was still a part of Nines. Alpha used her like a tool, not like a person. I wanted to kill him for that, but it would put our plans at risk"

Ryuko: "He will get for what he deserves. Hiro, remember, no one can know about our plan until we start it. We will try to get Zero Two to you, but we can't promise."

Hiro: "I want to thank you two. You sacrificed your future to save ours. I swear, when the time comes, I will be by your side"

(Y/N): "Thanks Hiro" We stood up "We should be going, you need to rest a little more. If you have any more questions we will answer them later." We went near the exit, while Hiro lied down "You want me to turn the lights off?"

Hiro: "Yeah. And (Y/N), Ryuko. Thank you for looking after her when I couldn't"

Ryuko: "No problem buddy"

(Y/N): "Remember these words Hiro, 'birds flew out of the cage'" We exited the room. Then Nana texted us to get to briefing room in 10 minutes. We went on our way and soon entered the room, stopping near Zero Two. 

Hachi: "You have your next mission. HQ has sent official orders. Plantation 13 has been heading towards a certain place for a while. This is our destination" On a display it shows a map with 'Gran Crevasse' on it's top right part. "Your mission is to neutralize every klaxosaur inhabiting this structure, and take control of this area"

Nana: "Furthermore, this is a joint operation with the Nines and FranXX from each plantation"

Futoshi: "A joint operation?" he was ignored

Hachi: "The opening salve will be fired 27 hours from now. Squad 13 is scheduled to be part of the sixth wave"

Zero Two: "Get it over with already"

Nana: "Unlike other times, the enemy will counter with numbers. This will, without a doubt, be your most difficult operation to date. Focus on the task... Ichigo?" Ichigo got her healthy arm up

Ichigo: "Please remove Code 002 from Squad 13 as of this mission" this shocked us

Ryuko and (Y/N): "What?!"

Nana: "Ichigo, the thing is..."

Ichigo: "If this request isn't granted, Squad 13 will not participate in the operation. This is our squad's decision as a whole. We can't fight with her anymore"

(Y/N): "Wait a second?! Whole squad? Ichigo, why we haven't heard about this?"

Ryuko: "We will fight alongside Zero Two. We promised to do so"

(Y/N): "Even if we will do this alone" I turned to Ichigo "We promised to help you, Ichigo, but your crush on Hiro is again getting in the way of your judgement" she glared daggers at me, as the rest look shocked

Ichigo: "Then please remove Reapers as well. We don't need traitors among our ranks"

Nana: "Zero Two was set to return to the Nines as of this mission anyway"

Zero Two: "Wait a second! Where'd that come from? Don't go deciding things for me!"

Nana: "HQ has already given this the green light.  We can't keep you here any longer"

Zero Two: "What about my darling?" Nana shakes her head. Ryuko put a hand on Zero's shoulder and they hugged

(Y/N): "Okay. So when us three are leaving?"

Nana: "You and Ryuko are staying here"

Ryuko: "Oh no no no, let me tell you again Nana. We fight alongside Strelitzia"

(Y/N): "We swore to be by her side. Always. I ask again, when are we leaving?"

Hachi: "Code 004, you and Code 006 are staying here by direct order from Dr. FranXX. You are not going anywhere"

(Y/N): "Tsk"

We turned our backs and let Zero go. But Futoshi and Mitsuru block her way

Futoshi: "Wh-Where are you going?"

Zorome: "Sorry, but you're not going to his room"

Ichigo: "We won't let you see Hiro, no matter what"

Zero Two: "Why?" And with that she walked out back to Mistilteinn

*small timeskip*

After our return to boarding house. Ichigo put Futoshi and Zorome on guard near in front of Zero's room

'If they think it would stop me, they are wrong' I walked outside 

(Y/N): "Neko, get ready"

Neko: "Yeah"

(Y/N): "Life Fiber Connect, Kamui Nekketsu. Nekketsu Jetto" I flew up to Zero Two windows and knock at it. She looked up from the floor and soon opened the window. I deactivated Neko and jumped inside

Zero Two: "(Y/N), what do you want?" she spoke softly

(Y/N): "I just want to talk with my little cousin, that's all" she looked at me with tears in her eyes.

Zero Two: "Why they can't let me see him? *sob* I just want to talk with him"

(Y/N): "Zero..." she hugged herself to me

Zero Two: "All I want is to see my Darling *sniff*"

(Y/N): "I know, that's why I'm here. But we need to talk first. What happened back there?"

Zero Two: "I stopped carrying. I tried to devour him like the rest *sniff* Then he saw my memories and..."

(Y/N): "He remembered you"

Zero Two: "Yeah. He asked me about the picture book"

(Y/N): "Zero..."

Zero Two: "I wanted to become human to be with him. *sniff* and what did I do? I turned him into the same kind of monster I am!"

(Y/N): "We told you, you are not a monster. Your appearance is not what matters. All that matters is your behavior. And Hiro loves you just for who you are"

Zero Two: "He told me that too. But I was stupid to not see that"

(Y/N): "Besides, me and Ryuko are your family. We may be monsters, but we stick together"

Zero Two: "Thank you, (Y/N)"

(Y/N): "No problem. Now to see your darling" I walked out to the window. Then Zorome entered

Zorome: "Here is your..." He trailed off when he saw me and Zero were about to jump out "Hey! What are you doing?! Guys!"

(Y/N): "Shit... quickly, Zero Two. Life Fiber Connect, Kamui Nekketsu! Nekketsu Jetto!" I changed to Neko's flying config and soon we flew out. I looked down to see Ichigo screaming at me

Ichigo: "(Y/N)! Get back here!"

(Y/N): "I'm getting her to her Darling, like it or not, Strawberry!"

Ichigo: "GET DOWN HERE! LEADERS ORDERS!"

(Y/N): "You can shove them!"

Ichigo: "MIKU IS STILL THERE! SHE WON'T LET YOU!"

(Y/N): "Ryuko took care of her! See you soon!"

Ichigo: "(Y/N)!" with that I flew towards elevator, before anyone could stop us. We landed and pressed the button for hospital.

(Y/N): "I'm in so much trouble for this..." I looked over to Zero Two to see her biting her nails again "Don't worry. He won't be mad at you"

We arrived and soon I saw Ryuko with tied up Miku. When she saw Zero Two her eyes widened.

(Y/N): "Hey Miku, change of plans. You don't mind, do you?"

Miku: "Mhh! Mhhh!"

Ryuko: "I think that means no. Okay let's...." she was cut off by screams coming from the hall

Ichigo: "Stop! What do you two think you are doing?!" She turned to me "You! What were my order?! To keep her there! You two are disobeying direct orders from me!"

(Y/N): "No we are not"

Ichigo: "What?!"

(Y/N): "Me and Ryuko are in the command when our leader, that's you, is incapable to do her job. You can't just isolate Hiro from her without his consent"

Ichigo: "How dare you!"

Ryuko: "Truth hurts. We are here to make things right"

Zero Two: "Don't stop us. I'm going to see my Darling"

Ichigo: "And what? Lie to him again?!" Zero grabbed Ichigo by her collar, tears visible in her eyes again

Zero Two: "No! You're wrong! I just want to talk to him!"

Goro: "Ichigo... let her"

Ichigo: "Huh?"

Goro: "Listen to her. She must have something really important to discuss"

(Y/N): "It's important. It's a matter of their future and past"

Kokoro: "I agree. We can't force them apart. I feel so sorry for them"

Goro: "We are all here already. Zero Two, you can see Hiro, but we all are coming with you. Are you okay with that?" Zero just nodded "So (Y/N), can you untie Miku?"

(Y/N): "Sure. Sorry Miku. We were gonna bring Zero here without them but they ran after us"

Miku: "You know I would let you in..."

Ryuko: "We couldn't risk any flukes in our plan"

Ichigo: "You two will still have a talk with me later" she turned to the doors "We're coming in, Hiro" 

Zero Two: "Darli..." she stopped. I looked inside to see Hiro was nowhere to be found and there was a rope from curtains

Ichigo: "Why?"

Miku: "No way! I kept watch the entire time!"

Ryuko: "I didn't saw him exit either" Then Mitsuru pointed to the rope

Mitsuru: "Look at that" We walked inside

Goro: "That guy..."

(Y/N): "Fuck! I should have know he will try that"

Ikuno: "He got out from there?"

Zorome: "He's so reckless"

I stood beside Ryuko and Zero Two. Zero was trembling with what I can assume was anger.

Ryuko: "Everyone! Get out of here!"

(Y/N): "NOW!"

Goro: "What are you talking about (Y/N)?"

Kokoro: "Yeah Ryuko, something is wrong?"

Ryuko: "Wrong is a small world" and now it was too late

Zero Two: "You tricked me. You lied to me" I can see blood coming from her hands 

Goro: "N-No, Zero Two! We didn't mean to! Hiro must've... I know! He must've gone to see you!"

Zero Two: "Shut your mouth!"

(Y/N): "RUN NOW! Ryuko, no holding back"

Ryuko: "Right, Life Fiber Synchronize, Kamui Senketsu!"

(Y/N): "Life Fiber Connect, Kamui Nekketsu!" we transformed but Zero already threw Goro to the wall. Me and Ryuko tried to hold her but she escaped with ease

 Neko: "How strong is she?!"

(Y/N): "Strong enough to rip your arm from your socket with one swing"

Ryuko: "Zero Two. Don't" she got before her and the rest of Squad 13 

Zero Two: "Ryuko, get out of my way. I don't want to hurt you"

Ryuko: "Then it make us two"

(Y/N): "Three to be specific" I get behind Zero and put her in a choke hold. She trashes around trying to get me off her. Then she crash into the wall and I slide down "Fucking shit, that's actually hurt" I jumped up and clashed with Zero again "Zero Two, Hiro got out to see you. He is probably in your room"

Zero Two: "Shut up! You too are against me (Y/N)?! I thought we are a family!"

(Y/N): "I'm family with Zero Two from before, not with you going berserk. Ryuko, get them out!" And it was my mistake, Zero quickly get a combo of punches to my chest and face, finishing it with a round kick, which throw me out by the window

Squad 13: "(Y/N)!"

(Y/N): "Nekketsu Jetto!" I activated Neko's jet form

Neko: "(Y/N), this fight finishing your blood reserves faster than I thought. You still have five minutes"

(Y/N): "So I better make use of it" I flew up about 20 levels to enter back from the broken window I flew out. I was met with maniacal laugh from Zero and Squad 13 beaten on the floor. Nearby I saw Ryuko panting

Ryuko: "I'm sorry... She used all reserve I had..." Senketsu powered down to his sailor uniform mode. I looked up to see Zero Two holding Ichigo by the collar high in the air

Zero Two: "Humans are so weak!" I started to stumble towards her "Get it now? Never stand in my way..." Me, and surprisingly Hiro cut her off

Hiro/(Y/N): "Zero Two!"/ "Zero!" I looked up to see Hiro standing in a doorway

Zero Two: "Darling" she replied slowly

Hiro: "What are you doing?"

(Y/N): "Hiro! *pant* Run!"

Zero Two: "I finally got to see you, darling. There's something I want to talk to you about" She threw Ichigo, while I suddenly felt dizzy and fall next to Ryuko

Hiro: "Ichigo! You okay? Ichigo? Ichigo!" he run to her as Ichigo started couching

Ichigo: "Hiro... do as (Y/N) said and run away" he looked up to Zero

Hiro: "Why would you do this?!"

Zero Two: "'Why'? You asked me to speak my mind with you, remember? But these guys just wouldn't let me. So I..."

Hiro: "No..."

Zero Two: "Let's talk lots and lots, okay? It's not too late. We can still take it back..."

Hiro: "Zero Two... At this moment, you truly are a monster. You aren't human" She looks at him for a while, turned on her heel and get out of the room

(Y/N): "Hiro..."

Hiro: "(Y/N)! Ryuko! What happened?!" He get near me and I punched him in the face. He recoils slightly

(Y/N): "You just fucked up big time man..."

Hiro: "I..."

(Y/N): "Just don't... I tried to stand up kinda wobbly. "Call Nana..." With that I fell unconscious

*timeskip*

???: "What did she do to beat both Ryuko and (Y/N)?"

???: "I just hope he will wake up soon. Ryuko was staying in her room since then. She refused to eat anything too"

???: "Ichigo, you talked with her?"

Ichigo: "Yes. She is so worried about him"

???: "Would you blame her? You behaved the same when Hiro almost died"

Ichigo: "Be quiet Goro" I started to opening my eyes "Oh, he is waking up"

(Y/N): "Shit. My head" I grabbed my head "Guys?"

Ichigo: "Lie down (Y/N), she got you good"

(Y/N): "Ichigo... Where is Ryuko?"

Ikuno: "She was staying in our room..."

Kokoro: "Poor girl... she refused to eat anything"

(Y/N): "Fuck" I got up "Ichigo, she is still there?"

Ichigo: "Yes" I walked up to their room and knocked

Ryuko: "I told you I'm fine Ichigo *sniff* Just let me lie here"

(Y/N): "Really love? You don't want to see me?"

Ryuko: "(Y-Y/N)!" she opened the room and hugged me tightly

(Y/N): "HeyMHHHhhh" she put us into a deep, passionate kiss. We partied away one minute later

Ryuko: "I'm glad you are okay" She hugged herself to me tightly again

(Y/N): "How about you?"

Ryuko: "I just passed out from blood lose"

(Y/N): "And Zero?" Ryuko got her head down

Ryuko: "... (Y/N)"

???: "Move faster" I turned around to see APE soldiers escorting Zero Two

(Y/N): "Wait a second... Zero, I forgive you because I understand... We will find you no matter how far you will go" after that Ryuko just hugged Zero and we follow them until we reach the porch. As we exit the house we see Hiro finally returning from hospital. Zero Two just walk beside him without any word.

'Dammit. That was cold, even for Zero' Then Ichigo exit the house and walks over to Hiro

Ichigo: "This was for the best, Hiro. Let's head inside" I looked over them to see Zero was getting further from APE agents

'She is... waiting for him'

Hiro turned around and went to run after her. But Ichigo stopped him by a hug

Ichigo: "I won't let you! I'm not letting you go! If you go back to her, you'll turn into a monster! You won't be the same ever again! I'd rather die than let that happen!"

Hiro: "But..." then Ichigo did something I would never expect from her. She grabbed his face and kissed him. she losses her balance and brake it, but soon she go for it again.

'No! Hiro! Run to her!'

Ryuko turned around and elbowed my side getting my attention. I turned around to see Goro walking down

Ichigo: "I don't regret the kiss we shared during the mock battle. I want to be with you forever! I'll make it so I can ride you with you this time, I swear!"

Me and Ryuko walked over to Goro

Goro: "She finally told him" he smiled

(Y/N): "You are the best Goro, you know. You love her, but you are still happy for her" I put my hand on his shoulder "We need more people like you" We turned back to Hiro and Ichigo

Ichigo: "I can do anything for you. It's true. I mean. I've always... You have always been my everything. (Y/N) told me what that means... I guess I..." She got her head on Hiro's chest "I love you, Hiro!" With that I and Hiro looked up to see APE ship, taking Zero back to Nines"

'Wherever you will be Zero... We are coming for you... and this time, We will have your Darling with us...'

A/N: Lucky Thirteen? I hope so. Now Hiro is a part of Doctor's plan. We also discovered what the old timer is planning. how it will roll out? See for yourself in the next chapter of Reapers in the FranXX

Sneak Peak: 

Heliconia: "This is our home and our family!"

(Y/N): "And you will pay for trying to hurt them!"

(Y/N) and Heliconia: "You damn monsters!"

Delphinium: "What is happening?"

Argentea: "Look at Heliconia!"
