(Y/N) stepped into Azure's cockpit or Conn-Pod while waiting for his new copilot, already donning his drivesuit, as he looked around the confined space and observed the age and damage. He'd been Azure Defiant's pilot for 4 and a half years now, but with the jaeger's damage and chipping of the paint, you'd think he'd been here for more than 15. He sighed as he thought about his previous co-pilots who died because of his blood, because of him-

He was snapped out of his thoughts by the hiss of the Conn-Pod door opening. He turned and saw Ichigo, with the same jet-black drivesuit as his. Cracking his neck, he sighed before speaking,

"I'll take the right side, you'll take the left, that alright?"

She smiled and nodded before they both stepped into the boot clamps as systems hooked up to their suits. The HUD of the Conn-Pod sprang to life, before the door was locked. Suddenly, Nana's voice came through the radio; "Azure Defiant, this is 007, prepare for neural handshake"

(Y/N) turned to look at Ichigo, who was doing a good job at hiding the fact that she was nervous. She'd been briefed on the basics of Jaeger Piloting, but was still pretty new to all of this. "Listen Ichigo, remember, don't chase the RABIT. Random Access Brain Impulse Triggers. Memories. Just let them flow, don't latch on. Tune them out. Stay in the Drift. The Drift is silence."

Her face became determined and nodded as she took in the information. They both let out a deep breath as the A.I. voice spoke;

"Neural Handshake Initiate''

You'll be Zero Two and you'll be Fifteen, Hiro gave me my name, Ichigo. I'll become a FRANXX Pilot, took me away from sister and Mamma, I didn't want to go. Saraba Tomoyo, it means friend. Hiro is my friend, why did Naomi get picked to ride with him? I'm a pilot now, 29 drops, 29 kills, still I think about my sister. Is she okay? Is she safe? Where is Zero Two, she calls him "Her Darling" that bitch, he should be mine. I think I love him. Why isn't it me? Why? Eight-four-two died, Kaiju, why do I kill everyone I meet? I don't mean to hurt anyone, Why can't I save them, why?

Both Pilots snapped back to reality, Ichigo taking deep heaving breaths and gasping as she adjusted to the drift.

"Ichigo! Are you alright?" (Y/N) called out to her,

her breathing slowed as she smiled and nodded. Just then, Nana's voice came through again "Azure, engage pilot to pilot calibration"

(Y/N) lifted up his Right arm and in his suit hand was a sensor of some kind with a button between the finger and the thumb.

"Right Hemisphere calibrating" He announced.

On her own, Ichigo lifted her arm, seeing she had the same kind of sensor on her left hand, then without even thinking, words came out of her mouth.

"Left Hemisphere calibrating"

Then in sync, both pilots put their closed left fist into the open palm of the right hand which then closed around the fist, forming a fighting stance. Azure's massive form did the same. As the pilots lowered their hands and the mech shook, Ichigo stared to her left in shock,
