What is Papa even talking about, us being a ray of hope for 'humanity'? Like that'll ever happen, the Parasites will keep fighting Klaxosaurs, and the Medics Corp will keep repairing the Franxx's, that's just how it's always been. I've looked death in the face to many times. I don't really see a point in living if this is all I'm going to do, could I find that girl and ask her to become her stamen? Although it wouldn't be lik-

The ground shakes above 152, he watches as a part of the crust bursts open, revealing a Klaxosaur. 

"A-A Klaxosaur?! And of all places here?" 

152 watches in amazement and shock as the Klaxosaur slithers towards the Plantation. Meanwhile the Plantation cannons are firing at the Klaxosaur, all  though it only slows it down instead of disabling it. Something flashes before his eyes, and finally he sees what it is, a white and red color.

"Another Klaxosaur?" 152 Exclaims  

"Medic, you need to get inside now, it's not saf-" The Plantation officer is cut off by one of the Klaxosaurs limbs interacting with the plantation, destroying all the cannons and the platform that was holding him and the officer, 152 immediately grabs onto the rails, although he lands on the ground of the Plantation.

What the hell? I didn't know Klaxosaurs could do that. 

The same red and white color flashes before him and 152 gets a clear image of what it was

"A Franxx? In stampede mode?" 152 says in astonishment although his moment of astonishment is cut off when he sees the Franxx going towards him, he runs out of the way and barely misses getting hit by the Franxx. He sees the faceplate open to the cockpit, he sees the same girl from before, Zero Two. Her partner falls out of the cockpit, 152 rushes to check his pulse.


Is he dead? Is that why her nickname is the Partner Killer? 

"It's no use, he's dead already." She says

"Zero Two? What are you doing in there?" 152 says with confusion in his voice.

"What does it look like, I'm going monster hunting" she says, smirking.

"Y-You can't go alone" 152 says with his hand on her wrist attempting to pull her away from the cockpit.

"Get off me!" Zero Two exclaims and slaps his hand away from hers.

"I'm always alone, it's been like that since I was a pistil, it's been like that forever. I've been used to it." She says harshly 

"D-Don't go! You'll die out there!" She looks at 152, "So what, i'm not afraid of death, people die all the time, big deal." she says dryly.

Right now, I'm powerless, I don't have any friends or any one willing to support me. But if I can pilot, maybe I can leave the Medic Corps and be a Parasite.

"Wait, let me pilot that Franxx with you. I'm about to let you do this on your own." The words from 152 blurt out, without him thinking

"Oh, and are you prepared to die?" She says.

"I'm not afraid of death, i've looked it in the eye too many times, but what I know is; I don't belong anywhere right now, so please take me with you!" 152 exclaims, 152 has a tear in his eye as he said that.

"You and I are quite similar, I haven't seen a human cry in such a long time, I wonder what your emotions are right now? Fear for me or fear for yourself." She says, while wiping away the tear from his eyes. "I like the look in your eyes, though, it makes my heart race." She extends her hand towards you.

"Now come to me, let me get a taste of you.." 152 grabs her arm and he is pulled into the cockpit. She smirks and says "After all, You are now my darling." She kisses 152 and then the Franxx initiates and activates. 

The Franxx then turns its attention to the Klaxosaur and starts to charge at it, the Lance at the ready, it swings its lance at the Klaxosaur and it's a direct hit, although though it is not down, it will be disabled for a few seconds. That's all the time the Franxx needs.

"Game Over!" the Franxx says, and with that the lance goes into beast and it explodes, once the skirmish between the Franxx and the Klaxosaur is over, the Franxx is at ground level and the face plate opens to reveal Zero Two carrying 152 out of the cockpit. She places him down at the exit of the face plate and looks at him.

"I've found you, my Darling."


All I remember is the kiss, the warmth of her lips on mine, that's the first time I ever kissed a girl. It made my heart race, but besides that its all I remember, I don't remember me activating the Franxx at all.
