A/N: Does everybody suddenly have videos with JFK from Clone High on the whole front page on YT? I mean WTF?! Putting this aside, let's get started!

*Y/N POV*

We just returned from the mission. Me and Ryuko deactivated Heliconia and walked over to the rest of our Squad. We are currently sitting in briefing room, where Ichigo was giving Nana and Hachi report from our mission

Ichigo: "We killed 30 in total today. The enemies were all the same type of Conrad class, just like on the other days" 

Nana: "Thanks for the report. Due to your efforts, the S-Planning in this area is proceeding smoothly"

Hachi: "That said, you need to improve your kill count, codes 326 and 196. Your Parasite Score is dropping, too" I put my hand up "Yes, code 004?"

(Y/N): "Chlorophytum is a typical fire support FranXX, with her main task to be the scout. Isn't it natural that their kill count should be lower than for example Argentea or Delphinium?"

Hachi: "We excepted that. But it still leaves their drop of Parasite Score"

Mitsuru: "I just wasn't feeling well today"

Hachi: "That isn't enough to explain this" Mitsuru scoffed "Anyway, keep it up and defend the work area from tomorrow onward, too. This is all. You're dismissed" 

Everyone except me and Ryuko stood up and walked out. I looked at the monitor to see our squad stats. Strelitzia was first with 112 kills, Heliconia was right behind her with 107. After us was Delphinium with 102 and later on Argentea with 93. Genista have 79 and Chlorophytum was in the last place with 51

(Y/N): "This is going south. I mean, I know what their FranXX do but it's still too low. I was expecting them to have a kill count close to Genista"

Hachi: "Thirty... That makes Squad 13 kill count in this area to over 90"

Ryuko: "We got about 10-11 kills today, even without us they are getting pretty good"

Nana: "It's indeed true. Their kills over the past fortnight are 3.7 times greater than in their first"

(Y/N): "Having Zero Two and us here improved it that much?"

Nana: "When we did this statistic, we didn't count Heliconia's kills. It unbelievable for any other team to achieve such rapid growth"

(Y/N): "It means... soon stage two will take place"

Nana: "It looks like it. Puberty, and their competitive spirit are drawing out the full potential of these children"

Hachi: "If everything goes smoothly, we will hear from Doctor soon. Ryuko, (Y/N), how is the situation with the rest?"

(Y/N): "Mitsuru is ready, same as Ichigo, Goro, Futoshi and Ikuno. We got confirmation from Dr.FranXX that Hiro was the one trying to break Zero Two out from the Garden. All we need to do now is wait until he get his memories back."

Ryuko: "That still leaves Zorome. But, after he got back from the city, he started acting weird..."

(Y/N): "I asked him what is wrong, if he need help. And I was met with 'I'm fine man, don't worry'"

Nana: "I will see what we can do for now. You two are dismissed"

(Y/N) and Ryuko: "Yes, ma'am" we exited and walked back to Heliconia. We walked inside her cockpit and soon join the rest of our squad

*small timeskip, S-Planning site*

Heliconia: "Sorry we are late. We needed to talk with Hachi and Nana about one thing"

Delphinium: "No problem you two. Nothing happened so far" we deactivated Heliconia, opened her faceplate and stood there, looking at the horizon in silence. 

Zorome: "What are they even doing here? Nana called it S-Planning or something"

Hiro: "Digging for something, maybe? That's an excavator, right?"

(Y/N): "It sure is. I think they are mining magma energy or other resources needed to operate plantation and maybe build a FranXX" I told them. I already know what they are mining. And I'm not happy about that.

'Uncle told me Klaxosaurs have some kind of leader. Hope she or he won't be mad'

Strelitzia: "It's nothing good. I'm about to choke from the stench of klaxosaurs" 

Ryuko: "Senketsu, you sense something?"

Senketsu: "A lot of those lizards. But not from the front, mostly from behind"

(Y/N): "It's normal. They are mining corpses of Klaxosaurs there. It's make me even more sick than I was before"

Ryuko: "(Y/N)?"

(Y/N): "Yeah?"

Ryuko: "Do you think that their leader will eventually forgive us?"

(Y/N): "I hope so. We should get back inside. I can't stand this hammering"

Ryuko: "Okay" We walked back to Heliconia and activated her. Then I heard Futoshi and Kokoro talking

Futoshi: "The fact that we're on this special mission proves that we've grown stronger"

Kokoro: "It's all thanks to you. You always try so hard to help carry my burden"

Futoshi: "O-Of course I do! If anything happened to you, it'd be my responsibility!"

'It's good to see Futoshi finally learned that it's our responsibility to look after our partner's life'

Kokoro: "Thank you, Futoshi" she said after giggling

 Futoshi: "Kokoro... H-Hey, I'll keep working to be the best partner you could have... So... could you promise to be my partner forever?!"

Then Heliconia's face appeared on my right

Heliconia: "So corny. Although I don't think Kokoro feels the same way about Futoshi as he feels about her"

(Y/N): "Damn...  Seems like he will learn what a 'heartbreak' is sooner than Ichigo. We need a lot of tissues then. Futoshi is so emotional, it will be bad..."

Kokoro: "Sure. I promise"

'Phew. Crisis stopped, for now'

Futoshi: "Really? It's a promise, okay? I'll protect you always and forever!" Tea then ended their little chat

Argentea: "Could you give it a rest? You are starting to gross me out"

Zorome: "Just cut the comms. I can feel my ears rotting off"

(Y/N): "Leave them alone you two. It's not nice to eavesdrop"

Heliconia: "They radioed it to everyone. How can't we eavesdrop, love?"

(Y/N): "Alright, you have a point"

Futoshi: "You heard all that? That's dirty!" Then alarm sounded inside Heliconia's cockpit. On my left appeared a live footage of klaxosaurs running towards us

Delphinium: " Seven enemies closing in from nine o'clock. They are the same Conrad class klaxosaurs"

Heliconia: "Get ready guys" we formed a line and waited for them

Goro: "Again? Do they have a nest nearby?"

Delphinium: "All units, prepare for combat!" Then Chlorophytum get down on her knees and her screen went blank

(Y/N): "Ikuno, Mitsuru, what is happening?" I radioed the duo

Delphinium: "Conia, stay with them" Heliconia nodded and soon we walked over to Chlorophytum

(Y/N): "Ikuno, you there? What's happening?"

Ikuno: "I don't know. Mitsuru just collapsed and is breathing hard. His whole face is in sweat"

(Y/N): "Okay, I will get there soon" Then I radioed Delphinium "Ichigo, Mitsuru collapsed. We need someone to watch our back while I go check on him"

Delphinium: "Roger. Tea! Genista! Protect Heliconia! (Y/N) need to check on Mitsuru!"

Genista and Argentea: "Rodger" The soon get before us. I deactivated Heliconia and Ryuko took our medbag from behind stamen chair. I opened Heliconia's faceplate to see Ikuno already waiting for us on Chlorophytum's faceplate. We walked inside and checked Mitsuru's pulse and temperature

(Y/N): "Fever, cold sweat. Just like Hiro before his third ride..." I grabbed radio nearby "Hachi, this is code 004, Chlorophytum is down and 326 is in a bad shape. Permission to tow them back to Plantation"

Hachi: "Granted" with that We exited Chlorophytum and went back to Heliconia

Heliconia: "Delphi! We are getting Chlorophytum back to the plantation! Can you fight without us?!"

Delphinium: "We can. Go get them out of here!" With that we got Chlorophytum on our back and dragged her back to the plantation. 

We put her back on her dock. Medics are already waiting on the bridge nearby. I backed Heliconia to her place and soon joined them.

(Y/N): "His body temperature was 38.2C when I checked on him, increased heart rate and this cold sweat"

Medic: "For a parasite you have some knowledge kid. Thank you for your assistance" They took Mitsuru to the infantry

(Y/N): "No problem" I walked over to Ikuno standing with worried expression on her face

Ikuno: "Ryuko... (Y/N)... what is happening to him?"

Ryuko: "(Y/N)?" she pointed at me

(Y/N): "It could be various things, fever, bad eating manner, overworking" Then Nana and Hachi entered

Nana: "Ikuno, you need to go with us"

Ikuno: "Right away Nana"

Hachi: "Ryuko, (Y/N), you two are dismissed" After that we walked up to the Mistilteinn's house and sat down in lounge. Soon the rest returned and Ichigo walked over to us

Ichigo: "How is he?"

(Y/N): "He have a fever of some kind" Then Ikuno entered 

Ikuno: "He is asleep. Nana and Hachi said he will be alright in a day or two" everyone breathed a sigh of relief

Goro: "He's always had a frail body"

Ichigo: "But Mitsuru was the only one who received that injection and came back"

Miku: "What are you talking about?"

Ryuko: "Yeah. I want to know it too"

Ikuno: "The Elixir Injection, a highly concentrated drug that induces more yellow blood cell production. It greatly increases one's parasite aptitude"

Miku: "All that aside, has Mitsuru always been that way?"

Goro: "He didn't used to be. He would always follow Hiro around" this shocked me

(Y/N): "Really?!"

Futoshi: "No way! That's the biggest shock I've heard in a while!"

Zorome: "So how'd he end up butting heads with him all the time, then?" Goro shrugged

Goro: "I have no idea, either. But I think it started not long before he took the injection. Come to think of it, Hiro changed a little back then, too"

Kokoro: "The Elixir injection has a survival rate of 15%, right?"

(Y/N): "What?! Why would anyone took it?! It's a suicide!"

Kokoro: "Thank Goodness he is still alive"

 *next day, briefing room*

After our breakfast, Nana called Ichigo to get everyone down to briefing room. When we entered Ikuno and Mitsuru were already there. 

Nana: "Good morning. We've called you here to discuss something important. We are aware of some small problems in several of teams and we want to give you an opportunity to do a partner shuffle"

Everyone: "Partner shuffle?" 

Nana: "This isn't an order. It's simply an option available to you. Take this chance to talk it out with your partners, and if anyone wants to try the shuffle, ask." After that Nana and Hachi leave us alone. Everyone is sitting with their respective partner. 

Ryuko: "What do you think?"

(Y/N): "They are just informing us about our right. What? Do you want to take a part?" After that Ryuko hugged my right arm

Ryuko: "No! Mine!" she shouted, getting attention of everyone "Sorry... hehe"

Zorome: "Geez, talk about clingy" I turned to him

(Y/N): "Zorome, fuck off" I turned back to Ryuko " I think it's about Mitsuru and Ikuno. Their scores are only high enough to keep their FranXX operating" I looked over at Kokoro and Futoshi. Ryuko did it too

Ryuko: "I have a bad feeling about this..."

(Y/N): "Same" We walked over to Hiro and Zero Two "Hey lovebirds, I assume you two won't be switching your partners" at that Zero just pushed Hiro aside.

Zero Two: "That's a pain, honestly. We can understand each other just fine by piloting Strelitzia" and she walked out

'What's with her? She wasn't even that cold around other parasites.'

Ryuko: "(Y/N), I saw something..."

(Y/N): "Huh?" She whispered to my ear

Ryuko: "Zero's horns and fangs got bigger"

(Y/N): "So you saying..." Ryuko just nodded "Damn it..." then we heard a yell from below

Mitsuru: "Shut up! I told you to drop it!" he got everyone's attention and then scoffed. After that Nana and Hachi walked back inside and we get in front of them

Nana: "So, is there anyone who wants to try riding with a different partner?" Ikuno got her hand up

Ikuno: "Let me try pistil to pistil connection, please"

(Y/N): "Is this even possible, Ikuno?"

Ikuno: "We don't know until we try it. I want to try it out as a backup plan for emergencies when we've lost a stamen" she turned to Ichigo "Would you help me, Ichigo?"

Ichigo: "What? Me?" she asked shocked

Ikuno: "Please" then Ryuko whispered to me again

Ryuko: "I think Ikuno is gay, or at least bi"

(Y/N): "You think so?"

Ryuko: "When we change she always look at Ichigo. Sometimes she even looks at me, but I don't care"

Nana: "Very well. Let's try it. Anyone else?" Kokoro got her hand up slowly

'Fuck... I better get those tissues, and some bins'

Kokoro: "Let me try riding with Mitsuru"

'Oh no, only not him. You are his opposite Kokoro. And you are breaking poor Futoshi's heart...'

Futoshi: "What? But Kokoro... Y-You promised..." he had some tears in his eyes

Kokoro: "I'm sorry, Futoshi" He fainted but I quickly get some fibers from my hand and catch him before he hit the floor.

Hachi: "Then it's settled. Those who attempt the shuffle report to the docking bay" They exit after Nana, while we stay here with Hachi. Then I walked over to the console and started typing

Ryuko: "What are you doing, honey?"

(Y/N): "I want to know if Ikuno's experiment will succeed. If yes then we have some good news for pistils in Replacement Division"

Goro: "Replacement Division?"

(Y/N): "When you have low numbers after tests back in the Garden, you are either send there or they kill you" This shocked everyone "If someone dies during the mission, they send replacement from there, so squad would work at full power again"

Hiro: "Wouldn't that effect their numbers?"

(Y/N): "They don't care..." I looked up to see both Delphinium and Genista stats at zero

Hachi: "Commence connection" After that I saw bars for both Ichigo and Kokoro getting in their usual levels, while Ikuno is staying at zero. Mitsuru's bar slowly get up, only to stop at 80. 

(Y/N): "So pistil to pistil is a failure... I hoped it would work"

Hachi: "Code 015, Code 196. Your test is over. Get back to briefing room"

We waited for 5 minutes. Genista's stats are still at stable levels

(Y/N): "I think it's enough Hachi. We waited for five minutes and no problems so far"

Hachi: "Very well. That concludes the tests. You are all dismissed" I walked over to still unconscious Futoshi

(Y/N): "Guys, let's get him to his room. I will take the legs. Hiro and Goro go get his arms. You Zorome, stabilize his head so he won't hit anything. Ready? On three. One, two, three" We grabbed him as I said and walked out. Soon we entered boarding house and got him on his bed.

(Y/N): "Watch him over. I will get tissues and a bin"

Zorome: "Why would you need them (Y/N)?"

(Y/N): "It's not for me, but for our big guy right here" I walked to the supply closet and grabbed 2 boxes of tissue and small garbage bin. I walked back up to see Futoshi is crying into his pillow

(Y/N): "Oh man..." I walked over and stood near Goro "How bad?"

Goro: "See for yourself..."

Futoshi: "Why? Did I do something wrong? I tried my hardest for Kokoro's sake!" 

Zorome: "Maybe that got on her nerves. Also, lose some weight" I slapped him on the head

(Y/N): "Not helping man..."

Goro: "I wonder what Kokoro was thinking"

Hiro: "She's really nice, so she must've felt she had to do something for Mitsuru"

Zorome: "Especially since he's so miserable" Futoshi springs from his bed and grabs Zorome by his collar

Futoshi: "I'm clearly the most miserable one here!"

(Y/N): "Goro"

Goro: "On it. Calm down Futoshi!" We walked to Futoshi and tried to get him from Zorome. Then Mitsuru opened the door and we froze. He turns around trying to close the door, but Futoshi stops him

Futoshi: "Wait! Do you think I'm pathetic?"

(Y/N): "E-Easy there man..."

Mitsuru: "What does it matter who our partners are?" After that Futoshi threw us aside and went to punch Mitsuru

Futoshi: "Like you'd have any idea how I feel!" Mitsuru stand aside and Futoshi crash on a wall 

Mitsuru: "This is a pain" We run out the room

Hiro: "Mitsuru, try to understand how Futoshi feels"

Mitsuru: "What gives you the right to say that?" he hisses

(Y/N): "And why do you always act like total asshole without any reason?"

Mitsuru: "Why do you even care? What have you ever lost? Has anyone close to you betrayed you?" He turned around and started walking "You and your partner are just some freaks, trying to play saviors" At this I looked down. I started trembling with anger.

Hiro: "(Y-Y/N), calm down!"

Goro: "This is bad..."

Zorome: "Mitsuru just dug his own grave..."

(Y/N): "I... I..." but before I could say anything I rushed at Mitsuru and punched him square in the jaw, sending him flying into the wall "Listen here you little shit! I've had enough of your bullshit attitude! You don't know anything about me and Ryuko!" I get my hand on fire "Say something about her one more time and you will get more than a punch. Now get the fuck out of my sight!" Mitsuru got up "NOW!" he walked away. I breathed in and out, calming myself

Hiro: "*phew* I though you are gonna kill him..." I walk past him "(Y/N)?"

(Y/N): "So that what you all think about me and Ryuko? Just machines designed to kill?"

Hiro: "Nothing like that (Y/N)"

Goro: "We knew about your powers and were just worried about you"

(Y/N): "No need. I told you. We are not like rumors said. Hiro, you should know better..." he got his head down

Hiro: "I know" I get my hand on his shoulder

(Y/N): "Besides. I'm very protective about Ryuko. I mayyy got kinda too carried away"

Zorome: "Mitsuru saw it coming then" We went to get Futoshi up

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

Futoshi: "Whenever I think about Kokoro, I feel this tightness in my chest. But now that tightness hurts..." We sat him on his bed and I gave him some tissues from before "What is this?

(Y/N): "That, my friend is called a heartbreak" I said as I sat beside him

Goro: "So you are saying..."

(Y/N): "Futoshi feels the same way about Kokoro as you about Ichigo"

Futoshi: "I hate this feeling!" He got his head on my shoulder and I pat his back

(Y/N): "There, there. We are here for you, big guy" then alarm sounded "Crap. Futoshi you are up for it?"

Futoshi: "I don't think..."

(Y/N): "Do it for Kokoro. You can still protect her, even if you are not her partner"  He got up, dabbed the tears away and looked determined

Futoshi: "You are right (Y/N). I will be strong. For Kokoro"

(Y/N): "That's the spirit" I turned around "And what are you waiting for? We need to move!" we rushed down to the elevator. We changed and rushed down the hall. Me and Futoshi met up with Ryuko and Ikuno. We rounded the corner and spotted Mitsuru and Kokoro

Futoshi: "Hold it, Mitsuru! Promise me that you'll protect Kokoro, no matter what!"

Mitsuru: "Promise? Don't be ridiculous"

Futoshi: "Look, you..."

(Y/N): "Looks like one punch was not enough..."

Kokoro: "Wait, Futoshi. I'll be fine"

Futoshi: "Be careful out there, Kokoro. What's done is done. I'll do my best together with Ikuno" Kokoro just nodded with a smile

(Y/N): "Now we need to move Futoshi..."

Futoshi: "So... do your..." he can't finish as he ran away crying. Me and Ikuno just sighed while Ryuko looked with pity at him. Me and her run to our exit and boarded Heliconia

Heliconia: "He is taking it so hard"

(Y/N): "I tried to calm him down before mission"

Heliconia: "Also, what did you meant that one punch was not enough?"

(Y/N): "Mitsuru crossed the line and needed a little punishment"

Heliconia: "Oookay?" With that we walked out the hanger

 Hachi: "We are detecting a Gutenberg class Klaxosaur. Set up a defensive line 500 meters from the S-Planning site and neutralize the target. Genista and Chlorophytum will act as rear support" We formed the line and saw huge Klaxosaur... looking kinda like a table

Argentea: "That thing is huge!"

Strelitzia: "Finally, one worth fighting!"

Delphinium and Heliconia: "Hold it!" She rushed the Klaxosaur and cut it with her spear across, from right front leg to rear right. Creature stood unfazed and started regenerating

Hiro: "No good. Its core is too deep inside"

Strelitzia: "Sounds fun!"

Hiro: "Wait, Zero Two!" he begs as Strelitzia gets swallowed by klaxosaur's regenerating body. Delphinium, Argentea and us quickly rocketed on its back and started slashing it, freeing Strelitzia. We then flew back to the earth

Delphinium: "You okay?"

Strelitzia: "Mind your own business!" she scoffed and rushed klaxosaur again

(Y/N): "The hell is happening to her?" Heliconia appeared on my right, like always

Heliconia: "She is letting her klaxosaur side to take control..."

(Y/N): "So I really need to talk with her now" Our talk was cut short, as the pieces of Klaxosaur around us started transforming into Conrads. We rushed the big mama and went to slash it's front leg

Goro: "It's a collective mass of the Conrad klaxosaurs we've been fighting"  I tried to swing at it's front legs. We looked behind to see Delphinium and Argentea barely managed to avoid being crushed by it's rear leg

Strelitzia: "You damn monster!" She went to rush klaxosaur again but it was now in the path of it's leg

(Y/N): "Zero Two! Stop!" then, Strelitzia rockets backwards, avoiding the leg

Strelitzia: "Don't stop me, darling!"

Hiro: "Don't rush it! Calm down!" We regrouped and started flying back to Genista and Chlorophytum.

(Y/N): "Ichigo, you got a plan?"

Hiro: "We will never get anywhere like this" I can see some X's flickering from time to time on Strelitzia's face

'She is trying to resist Hiro's control. Shit...'

Genista: "We need to shot at it" She said shocking everyone "I can separate it with close range fire"

Argentea: "Nice idea! That'll expose the core! Go ahead and fire a round into it!"

Heliconia: "Kokoro, you and Mitsuru need to get used to each other. It's risky for you two right now"

Delphinium: "Agreed. We can't let you get hurt"

Genista: "All our lives are at risk. We're a team, aren't we?"

Delphinium: "Fine. But don't get reckless"

Genista: "Rodger"

(Y/N): "Okay. We need to clear the path. Delphi, Tea, Strelitzia, let's go!"

We charge forward cutting every Conrad in our way. We get near Gutenberg's leg, but it stomped and throw us aside

Delphinium: "Oh no! Some got past!"

Chlorophytum: "Let's go"

Genista: "Yeah" they went and rushed those loose conrads. Genista looses her balance, but thankfully Strelitzia saved her

Hiro: "You alright?"

Genista: "Thank you, Hiro" Meanwhile, we continue to hit it's legs, trying to slow it down. Heliconia went for another swing for it's right front leg, but before we could, Genista crashed into it and get thrown back, right into the path of klaxosaur

Heliconia and Futoshi: "Kokoro!" 

Delphinium: "Run!" just before Genista get crushed ,Chlorophytum get in front of her and stops the foot from crushing her. I get Heliconia next to her and our two FranXX hold it back

Chlorophytum: "Are you okay?" she yelled

Kokoro: "Th-Thank you, Ikuno, Futoshi!" just then I feel it started tilting forward more.

'They cut its back legs and it got to it's knees'

Heliconia: "Ahhh!" she screamed in pain

(Y/N): "Not helping!" I yank the controls trying to keep Genista safe. Then it's other leg extends itself towards S-Planning

Delphinium: "Change of plans! Strelitzia, Argentea and I will stop it. Heliconia, Chlorophytum, keep Genista safe"

Futoshi: "I will protect Kokoro, no matter what!" with that he activated Chlorophytum's guns and shoot at this thing's foot. Then klaxosaur deploys some type of roots and started pushing down with even more force

(Y/N): "Fucking shit! It's getting heavier. Mitsuru! Get your shit together and help us!" Heliconia and Chlorophytum continue to struggle under the weight.

Chlorophytum: "Hurry up, Mitsuru!" then Genista get on her four, but I sensed something is wrong. Ryuko seems to feel it too

Heliconia: "Kokoro! Don't do it!" but it was too late. Genitsta's hat turned into something resembling a duck head with teeth in it's beak

Futoshi: "Stop, Kokoro!"

(Y/N): "Mitsuru! Get her out of her platform!" then Genista's hat reverts back it normal and she lies there for thirty seconds. Heliconia and Chlorophytum get on their knees under weight. Suddenly we heard Kokoro's voice from behind

Genista: "Hey guys! Sorry we are late"

(Y/N): "Oh thank god you are okay... Futoshi, it's their time to shine!"

Futoshi: "Right!" he makes Chlorophytum's guns go again. Then me and Ryuko get Heliconia up and with one swift motion cut it's leg off. Chlorophytum then kick it aside. Genista then rocketed towards Klaxosaur's chest and impaled her cannon into it. Soon she fires it, separating the mass and revealing the core. 

Genista: "Now!"

Heliconia: "Strelitzia! Go!" Strelitzia fly by us and impaled the core on her lance

*timeskip, boarding house, late evening*

Me and Ryuko, not knowing what to do with each other, are walking around the house. Then we spotted Zero Two. When she sees us she turned on her heel and walks opposite way

(Y/N): "Zero Two! Wait!"

Zero Two: "What do you two wants?" she replied coldly

Ryuko: "Okay, sister. We need to talk. Now."

Zero Two: "I don't have anything..." I cut her off

(Y/N): "Don't you try giving us cold shoulder. We know you for a long time. We told you, we are here for you. Hell, given that my uncle is the closest to father you ever had makes us cousins. So Zero Two... tell your family what's wrong" Zero started to have some tears in her eyes

Zero Two: "I'm trying and trying and he doesn't remember me *sniff* What if I was wrong? *sniff* What if he isn't my Darling?" Ryuko went to comfort her by a hug and some back pats

Ryuko: "Shh, it will be alright Zero"

(Y/N): "You want us to use our Life Fibers to unlock his memories?" I offered

Zero Two: "No" she wiped the tears "I got this. Ryuko, (Y/N), I'm sorry. But this situation is..." Ryuko cut her off

Ryuko: "No more words Zero. Go wash yourself and go to sleep. If you want to talk, you always have us. Remember what we promised, let come Hell..."

(Y/N): "Heaven or high water..." I put my hand on Zero's shoulder

(Y/N) and Ryuko: "We will never leave you or let anyone hurt you again" Zero smiled and stood up

Zero Two: "Thanks. Now if you excuse me, I'm tired"

Ryuko: "Go for it. We will turn for a night too soon" with that Zero walked out, leaving us alone

(Y/N): "At least we know what was bugging her. *yawn* okay. I'm going hit the hay too. Goodnight Ryuko" I kissed her forehead

Ryuko: "Nightie (Y/N). I love you"

(Y/N): "Hehe, I love you too, alright" I walked up to my room, changed into my pajamas and jumped up on my bed. I closed my eyes, thinking about what Zero said to us

'I hope Hiro will remember her soon... or it could become a disaster...'

I turned to the side and soon I was in the land of nod

A/N So number 11. Doctor's plans are still a mystery. But, well, the time will come. 

Sneak Peak: 

Ryuko: "Oh kill me already..."

(Y/N): "What do you want now, Alpha?"
