Humanity's Demonic Machine (Gundam Book 2: Side Story)

Pearl Harbor (#3 - Mission and the Barbatos' secret)

The joint team is now walking back to their camp as they discuss the YoRHa's mission along the way with Y/n reviewing their plan.

Y/n: So let me get this straight, your mission is basically on O'ahu Island. On the island is the machines' server in Mt. Ka'ala that requires it to be destroyed completely. But the entrance is via an elevator on the mountain's summit, leading to the server that was buried underground.

A2: Y-Yes...

Y/n: Geez, that's one hell of a mission.

Rose: I never would have thought their main server would be in a place like that. But then again, we've seen sh*t before like how we found Y/n in an underground warehouse.

S21 talks to them about this mission.

S21: In order to accomplish our mission, military strength is vital. We would like for you to accompany us, including Y/n's Barbatos as well.

G16: Wait, speaking of which. Hey brat, where's that humongous looking mech of yours?!

Y/n has a tick mark and a loud sound erupted in the trees.

Pouting G16 continues following Rose, A2 and Y/n in front with a huge smoking bump on her forehead. Rose answered the request from YoRHa team's Scanner.

Rose: Once we reach the resistance camp, we'll share the information we've collected on the machines.

Rose adds up with a consideration on her tone.

Rose: However, I cannot give you a response to your request right now. As to whether we will participate. Whether we will risk our lives for your mission. There are things we need to ascertain first.

They take a stop on a nearby rock to take a break first from a long walk. Anemone approaches her Captain and Y/n about the YoRHa team.

Anemone: Captain Rose, are we really going to bring these people to our camp? Y/n, are you really sure you wanna go with this?

Y/n: Why did you ask about it?

Anemone: Because I'm opposed to it. Traveling with them is too dangerous when we still don't know if they're friends or foes. Not to mention they look the same people you have brought back in the camp.

Y/n: I...

Y/n is still remembering her body being continuously hit by those beams despite fighting alongside her. It makes him feel weak, left behind about it... However when he remembers the look on her eyes before she died, she discovers that he's in fact, a human. The creator of Androids, so both of them saw what death already is. So he decided to strengthen his resolve and never ever be weak again.

Rose saw the look on his face and she stopped Anemone's doubts further.

Rose: Hey, don't talk about that with him, again. It'll trouble him even more. But, I can't deny that it's true. However, if they really are the latest models.

Rose and Y/n stare at the Androids as A2 and G16 are arguing again while A4 is just watching sheepishly chuckling and S21 doing calculations.

Rose: I don't think it's wrong to take a risk for that possibility. We may be able to change the current state of the war even more now, than before.

The two Resistance and the Gundam pilot looked at the sun behind the clouds that came from the remnants of 8th descent.

Anemone: That might be true, but we've done nothing to confirm that what they've said is true. And on top of that... if we get noticed, including Y/n's true nature...
