3rd person pov

While returning to the basilicom at night, Y/n received a call from Noire and picked it up to see what she needed.

Y/n: what is it?
Noire: Affimojas mentioned a new robot he built.
Y/n: a new robot?
Noire: i don't know what it's all about but it's hiding somewhere in the forest. Uni and i are on our way. Could you help?
Y/n: on it.

Y/n started to head towards the forest.

Y/n: (in head) even in death, those robots still try to get rid of me no matter what. But i'll keep Gamindustri safe as long as i live.

Eventually, y/n met with Noire and Uni, who were both in HDD form.

Y/n: so where's this new robot you speak of?
Black heart: we don't know, but we should be cautious. It could strike at any moment.

The three continued to move and were looked around carefully in case the robot were to suddenly surprise attack them.

Black sister: sis, you think it might have been a lie?
Black heart: a person who can create a lot of robots would never lie about threatening us with a new model. We have to stay on our toes.

Suddenly, a high speed projectile was heading straight towards them

Black heart: get down!

The three evaded the incoming projectile and looked up and saw a heavily armed black robot.

(Looks awesome, but this picture doesn't show its head. Just look up rayleonard)

Y/n pulled out his dagger and pointed it to the robot.

Y/n: who are you?
???: i am assassin unit-0045
Y/n: an assassin unit?
Au-45: i was built as a means of getting rid of you, Zero for general Affimojas. Please, lay your weapons down and accept death.

The masked thief gave the assassin robot a chuckle.

Y/n: i deny. As a thief, i won't abide to the rules. I'll rebel against them and carve my own path.
Au-45: a foolish choice. Probability of your possible termination: 72%
Y/n: looks like we'll have lower that probability.

Hot wind blowing - metal gear rising revengance plays

Au-45 tried shooting the masked thief with his machine gun, but he ran away from the incoming gunfire.

Au-45: do not escape the inevitable.

Black heart flew and attacked the robot with her sword. She managed to put a few scratches on its armor, bit it wasn't enough to pierce right though it.

Au-45: description of your attack: pathetic.

The assassin robot pointed his machine gun at Black heart, but it was shot out his hand. Uni was sniping the robot while Noire had distracted him. Y/n picked up the machine gun the robot dropped and joined Uni.

Black sister: maybe if i land a good shot, he'll drop that other weapon. It looks like a sort of railgun. If we can shoot him with his own weapon, we can beat him.

Not being able to speak to Uni, y/n simply gave a nod and ran towards the robot while shooting it with the dropped machine gun.

Black heart: Zero!
Y/n: don't worry, uni has a plan.

Y/n dropped the gun and jumped on the black robot.

Au-45: i wish to describe you: very annoying.
Y/n: i wish you had a personality, rusty.

The thief pulled out his dagger and tried slitting the robots wrists. He managed to loosen them up with the help of Black heart.

Black heart: Uni, now!

Uni fired the sniper rifle again and shot off the robot's hand. The robot fell to the ground and looked around for the railgun. He turned to see that the railgun was in the thief's hand and was being pointed at him.

Y/n: time for a shut down.

Y/n fired the railgun and the shots fired were enough to shred the robots legs.

Music stops

Noire grabbed the robot.

Black heart: the machine loses again.

The assassin robot spoke in a glitchy tone

Au-45: i wi-will... M-make you... Su..ffer.

The robot pointed the gauss cannons on his shoulder towards Uni and fired.

Y/n: NO!!!

Y/n got in front of Uni and hugged her tightly. The beams hit y/n's back, but didn't pierce him. He pulled out his pistol and pointed to the robot.

Y/n: one-shot... Kill

He fired a large drill-like bullet and made a large hole in the robot's chest before falling back. Uni got on her knees and looked at y/n with a worried expression.

Black sister: why? Why did you protect me?

Y/n gave the CPU candidate a small chuckle.

Y/n: isn't obvious? No matter what, i care about you.

Y/n felt his chest get a little wet and saw that Uni was crying. She rest her head and continued to cry.

Black sister: y/n... I'm so... So sorry.

Y/n patted Uni's head with one of his gloved hands. He was trying to comfort her.

Y/n: there, there. Let it all out.

Noire and uni untransformed and helped y/n get back up. Noire and uni headed to the basilicom while y/n headed back to IF's apartment.

Uni: are you sure you'll be alright?
Y/n: you needn't worry. I promise i'll be ok.
Uni: ... Just... Be safe, y/n

Y/n gave uni a nod and headed back to the apartment. He felt his power growing with Uni's because of the new bond they had created.

Y/n: all i needed was some time... And a wound.

Y/n hoped he could be able to hang out with her now. That time will come in another day.
