Darling in the FranXX: Insurrection

Chapter 3- A Day at the Beach

Alright guys we are back! Sorry to have taken so long but I was a bit busy this past week so things are a little behind. The good news is that chapter 3 is now here, and for those of you who read DitF: Homecoming there will be something coming out for that as well in the near future. As always please leave any questions, comments, or concerns and I will do my best to get back to you. Until next time!

After breakfast the next morning, you and the other parasites of Squad 13 are taken into the main docking bay. It's much more calm than when you had first arrived, with your shuttle having brought cargo and supplies. There is still an influx of provisions seemingly from nowhere, though, as everyone is moving something. You notice this while you walk along, before you're led out of the hangar. Outside of the Plantation awaits Nana and several APE soldiers, who proceed to escort you to the beach. The short stretch of desert the plantation lies on quickly gives way to a thickly wooded area, heavy with trees and vegetation.

The uniforms you had been provided with today were unlike anything you had seen previously. Yours consists of a paper-thin shirt, a pair of shorts made from some synthetic fabric, and a light jacket. The girls wear the same jackets as you, but theirs are much longer, reaching half way to their knees. Yours is only to the waist. From the amount of skin that is visible as they walk, it is almost believable that they aren't wearing anything but the jackets, though you highly doubt it.

This seems to not be lost on the other boys either as Zorome and Futoshi walk on either side of you. Both of them watch their partners intently as they walk, their eyes never leaving the girls even as they attempt to hold a conversation with you. You roll your eyes at the two of them multiple times, hoping to signal them to relent. They don't.

After walking for about ten minutes, you start to hear a crashing sound close by. You can make out its direction through the trees but aren't sure what could be making such a sound. It is at that moment you round a bend and are greeted with the largest body of water you've ever seen.

"Wow," Miku says in amazement. "It's huge," Futoshi marvels. Before you is one of the most impressive sights you've ever seen — a gorgeous, undisturbed beach. White sand, real sand, spreads out for about half a mile in each direction from where you have exited the tree line, and its grains glitter in the morning sun. Just beyond the sand, aquamarine waves lightly crash into the coast, carrying with them foam and tiny creatures.

"I didn't think there were any oceans left that weren't irradiated," Ikuno whispers. "Darling, let's go!" Zero Two shouts, discarding her jacket and grabbing Hiro by the hand. She pulls him toward the surf and then jumps in, beginning to frolic like a child. "Hey, wait up!" Zorome yells as he and Futoshi follow after them.

You smile, happy to see your new friends enjoying themselves. "So immature," Miku scoffs as she watches Zorome tackle Futoshi into the waves. "I think it's nice for them to be able to have fun like that," Kokoro grins. You continue to hear them talking as you plant the umbrella you had been carrying in the sand. You dig a small hole to place it in before covering it back up with sand and opening the umbrella. The relief from the sun is noticeable, even in the short amount of time you'd been here.

When you turn around, you are woefully unprepared for what you find. Miku, Kokoro and Ichigo have removed their jackets. As you turn, you notice this before you instantly blush and look away, believing they might not be wearing any clothes. "(Y/N), is something wrong?" Kokoro asks. Slowly, you turn to look at them once more and breathe a sigh of relief as you find that they are still clothed.

Clothed might not be the correct way to put it, however. Each of the girls wears what appears to be two distinct pieces of clothing that resemble their undergarments. You've never seen so much skin in your entire life. They don't seem to be bothered by the fact that most of their body is exposed, either.
