eureka seven: singularity point

chapter 15: darling

after getting cryska and inia back to health and telling them they were now apart of my crew i was surprised by how ecstatic the two were and glad by it we arrived and this time the entire ship was docked in a secret base created by truth and the scientist of this world Dr. werner franxx

"is it time" the old man asked i nodded

"truth says it is" i said he nodded

"well your timing couldn't be anymore perfect, code omega 013" he said i looked at him confused as he pulled me along and explained it was safe to assume i was absolutely disgusted but then i stopped

"wait a minute if i need a pilot partner i have one in meia gisborn" i said he shook his head

"trust me this one is much better suited, i and truth have been planning this for a long time have everything brought to the lab i shall begin immediately, while i work you can get to know your knew partner and hunt klaxosaurs with her" the old doctor said

"alright old man, since truth trusts you i'll also place my faith in you" i said he nodded two days later i was transferred to plantation thirteen under the code omega 013 the doctors newest nine created to be equal to 02 in every respect if not better something which apparently the government APE was excited for as their current nines could not match 02 even though they were clones of her

arriving i met my new partner ichigo or code 016 and i fell in love at first sight i began to understand why truth and the doctor were adamant i came here

and the more i got to know her the more i fell in love. this wasn't like eureka or asuka a simple crush, no this was like me and pyrrha what we had right before she died i vowed i'd protect her from anything that would harm her

the old man let me keep my sword saying he only needed the livlaster to make certain he didn't mess anything up i was honestly fine with this ichigo was very welcoming of me to she was a bit resentful towards goro her previous who replaced her so easily but i had a feeling that was the doctors doing to further push along our partnership which very easily blossomed i also named 02 sakura cause i didn't want to call her 02 she decided to start calling me her nii-chan which was fine she was a cute imouto after all

"ichi what are you doing" i asked

"zuki" she jumped i chuckled

"don't scare me like that i'm trying to figure out why the nines are here" she said

"their evaluating me and sakura, me to see if i'm as good as i'm supposed to be, and sakura to see if our squad is weighing her down, they want to report i am not as good as the doctor says i am and that sakura is being weighed down" i said

"do you think they'd lie" ichigo asked

"no, they are too loyal to papa, lying would not only harm papa, who would take them at their word, but it would also break papa's trust in them something they don't want" i said

"so we just have to prove we are as strong as they are" ichigo asked

"only you and hiro really the rest well, they couldn't care less about them but it is you two they are watching the most" i said she let out a sigh of relief

"are we" she asked

"are you what" i asked her

"good enough to stand beside you" she asked

"well i think you already know sakura's answer as for mine well" i trailed off as i kissed her something i knew she wouldn't understand since APE has banned all knowledge of love whatsoever

"you mean the world to me" i told her
