章節 30: Code: 000

Hiro was leaning against the railing in the mission room staring at the Stampede mode Strelizia. His heart twisted in pain, she was fighting alone! He lit up another cigarette and exhaled, Hachi looked at him and said "You're up. Get ready." the Squad said "Right!" before leaving.

Hiro was pacing around the mission hall. Inhaling and exhaling, the group left and Hiro ripped the railing out of the concrete, throwing it through the glass in frustration.

Hachi patted his shoulder and said "Relax. Getting angry isn't going to solve anything." Hiro took in a shaky breath and said "And what is? She's fighting alone! Because... Because!" he clenched his fists and exhaled as his eyes turned cold "Because of that little..."

Hachi shook his head and said "It was orders from HQ. They wanted her back from the beginning." Hiro grinded his teeth and threw the cigarette on the ground, stomping on it and saying "Let's just go to the control room."

Hachi watched him go and sighed.

Hiro walked through the halls and saw the group going off. He looked at them and scratched his neck, nodding before walking away. Goro sighed and said "Let's do our best, guys." the rest "Right!" before they all left, Ichigo looked in the direction Hiro left in, in a daze.

He didn't even look at her. Like as if she was air. That hurt. That hurt more than getting yelled at.

Hiro honestly couldn't care less what it felt like, that dumb bitch, he wanted to rip her in half. But the only reason she wasn't hospitalized is because she was Goro's partner and there was a lack of Pistils. Little does she know, he was having a very hard time controlling himself right now, she almost became a cripple.

He scratched his neck in frustration and anxiety, this was the second time.

He walked into the control room and watched the battle go on, he lit a cigarette and scratched his neck so hard it started bleeding, his eyes were locked on the lion-like Strelizia. How much was she hurting inside there? What she lonely? Sad?

Just the thought of it made him scratch his neck as his eyes glowed blue and his fangs grew longer. His horns were getting bigger as well, but his cap was hiding them. He had no idea how she felt, all he could feel was rage and anxiety.

He was itching to smash through the Plantation walls and run out to the battlefield with Sun. That's what he really wanted right now. Should he expose himself? Everything he had been trying so hard to cover up? His eyes hardened and he turned around to leave, he bumped into Dr. Franxx, who looked at Hiro's fangs and glowing blue eyes, as well as the scratch marks on his neck.

Dr. Franxx said "Going out for a walk?" Hiro spat "I don't think that's any of your business." Dr. Franxx chuckled and said "It very well could be when I'm experimenting on you." Hiro grinded his teeth and scratched his neck with his, now, claws, drawing more blood.

Every moment he wastes here, he could be smashing through Klaxosaurs to his Angel!

Hiro suddenly said "Those idiots are in Space, no?" Dr. Franxx said "Yes and no." Hiro clicked his teeth together and his mind turned for a solution, Dr. Franxx said "Can you make it?" Hiro said immediately "100%" Dr. Franxx hummed "I suppose I could 'test' something today..."

Hiro stared at him saying "What do you want." Dr. Franxx chuckled and said "I just want to see how you do it." Hiro walked away, tilting his cap down saying "There's no free lunch in this world, old man. Maybe... I can get you something... I need a full cover up or else forget about it."

Dr. Franxx said joyfully "Not a problem." Hiro whistled and Sun spun out of his ear, growing into a glowing orange staff. Dr. Franxx said in severe shock "A Magma weapon!?" he touched a communicator and said "I'm send out an experiment... You can call him..."

The battlefield was raging with Klaxosaurs everywhere. Goro said "This is bad! There's too many of them!" Alpha's Franxx appeared behind him and alleviated some of the pressure as he said "So this is your Franxx? Cute~"

Suddenly, a giant staff smashed down from the skies and obliterated hundreds of Klaxosaurs at once. Everybody turned as the staff shrank to a pillar and was held on the shoulder of a man in a black uniform, smoking a cigarette.

The man was wearing a tilted down hat and the smoke was exhaled from his mouth, that formed into a sharp toothed grin as Dr. Franxx's voice sounded "Code: 000"
