Even if I have to sell my soul, Zerotwo.
Hiro returned to the facility. Nana was there with her hands on her hips, he ignored her and walked inside.
The doors opened and Hiro bumped into Alpha, Hiro looked down at him and snorted coldly with narrowed eyes. Alpha clicked his tongue and said "Enjoy your last moments, When you get devoured like the rest, maybe I'll come dance on your grave."
Hiro sneered "Better take some lessons then. You have a lot of time before that happens..." he looked over and saw Zerotwo biting on her nails again as her horns, fangs, and nails were sharper and longer. He frowned and glared at Alpha saying "If you said something to her, I will kill you. You better pray you can run fast, even if Papa gets in the way, he'll die too."
He shoved Alpha out of the way with his shoulder, walking past him to Zerotwo. Alpha snorted and left with a sneer on his face. The rest of the group watched him go, he looked at Ichigo and winked before leaving, making her frown and look at Hiro.
Hiro was in front of Zerotwo, he picked up her hands and looked at the bruising on her finger tips. He frowned and a small green vial was poured on her hands. The bruising disappeared along with the vial and he lifted her chin, she looked at him and Hiro frowned saying "What's wrong?"
Zerotwo remained silent, Hiro grinded his teeth and glared at Nana, startling her. He growled "What did you do to her." Nana said "Nothing!" Hiro grinded his fangs and said mentally "Clank check her mental state for any alterations or erases." Clank responded "Nothing, chief."
Hiro relaxed considerably but he was still burning with anger, he snorted and turned away, bringing Zerotwo with him as he left the group alone. Nana said "Where are you go-" Hiro replied "None of you fucking business. Go erase the rest of the group's memories, fucking clown." before disappearing.
Ichigo said "Erase our memories?" Mitsuru's eyes widened and he said "It can't be!" Nana was really panicking now, as she was questioned by the rest of the group while Mitsuru ran off after Hiro.
Hiro kicked open a door and obliterated the guards inside, grabbing their guns and pointing them at their heads saying coldly "Where is the memory machine." the guards said "I-I don't know!" Hiro growled and blew his brains out, pointing the gun at the next guard saying "WHERE IS THE MEMORY MACHINE!"
The guard said "I'll take you!" Hiro growled and killed the other guards, he waved his arm and water washed the floor clean of blood before everything froze before shattering into ice crystals and disappearing completely as if it was never there.
The guard was terrified and said "Wh-What are you!?" Hiro held Zerotwo on his back and said "Your worst nightmare, now hurry the fuck up. I'm sure no one will miss a dickless guy like you, hell, they might not even know your gone. Control room first, dickless."
Hiro pointed the gun straight to the back of the guard's head and stripped him of any communications devices he had on him. He pushed the guard out of the room, secretly holding the gun to his back.
The guard brought Hiro to the control room and Hiro said "Tell them Dr. Franxx sent me for maintenance." the guard did as he said and the people inside left the room. Hiro kicked the guard to the ground and stepped on his arms saying "Speak a word and you'll be headless as well." the guard was trembling in fear.
Hiro looked at the screens and started typing on the keyboard.
[Congratulations! You've acquired the Hacker talent!]
Looks like those Dark Web safety training videos really paid off!
Hiro looked at the camera feed and deleted the evidence of him blowing the guards' head off before looping the cameras of several rooms. He pulled out a USB and extracted all the data files from the entire lab, all the blueprints of the medical machines, etc. was copied.
Hiro covered his tracks and encrypted the transfer, making it vanish. From the outside everything looked normal. Hiro mumbled to himself and grinded his teeth, pressing a button. Fuck the future.
[Self Combustion 71:59:59]
He narrowed his eyes and picked up the guard saying with an extremely cold voice "Take me to the research lab where Code: 002 was experimented on." Zerotwo trembled and the guard said "R-Right away!" Hiro stuck the gun on his back and whispered "My finger's a little slippery today, I wouldn't test it. Understand?" the guard trembled and they left the room.
Hiro said flatly "Everything is in order, carry on." they nodded and walked into the Control room, resuming operations. The guard brought Hiro to the research room. Hiro locked the door and activated the soundproof system. He looked out the window and someone said "You're not supposed to be here."
Hiro didn't see anyone outside and turned around. His eyes were emotionless as he opened fire, blasting the entire room to smithereens, killing everyone inside, except the guard he came in with and Zerotwo on his back, who was watching everything. Her eyes fluctuated fiercely.
Hiro repeated the cleaning process and left, leaving an empty room with bullet holes in the walls. He turned off the lights as he left and closed the door behind him, punching the pad next to the door in, disabling any means of going inside.
He went to the memory room and knocked the guard out with the butt of the gun before strapping him into the memory machine and wiping his memories of today. He held the unconscious guard and did the same thing to the memory room before leaving the guard in a hallway.
He threw the gun into the guard's lap and wiped his gloves on his coat before walking away.
In 3 days the 'Lab' will no longer exist.
Hopefully, all the scum were inside at that time. As for the children... they weren't his children.
He walked back to the Plantation with Zerotwo on his back. He laid her down in his bed and took off her shoes. He sighed at the bruises on her limbs and her long nails. He caressed her cheek and took out a file, grinding down her nails.
He looked at her horns and threw the file back into the system space, taking out the horn polish and sand paper instead. Zerotwo slept as Hiro polished her horns, he sighed when he was done. He liked her longer horns, the smaller ones were cute too.
He sat on a chair and leaned back, lighting a cigarette as he closed his eyes and waited.
He didn't wait for long.
An alarm went off and Hiro grunted "It should be that time, right..." Zerotwo's eyes fluttered open and she looked at her nails silently, sitting up. Hiro looked at her and said "Angel... How are you feeling?" she said "You did all this for me?"
Hiro smiled and said "I even polished your horns while you were sleeping." Zerotwo looked down and said "You don't care that I'm a monster?" Hiro clenched his fist and said "We already went over this. You're not a monster. Who told you that you were? The adults? The failed clone? Those apes at the top?!"
He grabbed her hands and lifted her face to him, moving her hair out of the way as he looked into her eyes saying "You're not a monster. You're my Angel. Now, before, later, forever. It's never going to change. Even if the world ends, I will still love you."
He looked into her eyes and said gently "Plus... If your a monster, then is there anyone who's not?" he lifted his hair in front of his forehead and she gasped in severe shock. He had extremely tiny blue horns coming out of his forehead!
Zerotwo said "Yo-" Hiro cut her off and said "You remember the new ending of the Picture book?" Zerotwo teared up and said softly with an indescribable emotion "Darling..." Hiro grinned and clinked his horns with hers saying "Even if I have to sell my soul, Zerotwo." she burst into tears and hugged him, crying into his neck.
Hiro let his hair down again as the door was kicked open by Ichigo, who said "Let's go! Klaxosaurs!" Hiro said "Yeah, yeah. Relax, woman." Ichigo puffed her cheeks and ran off. Hiro stood up and stretched out his hand "You ready, Angel?" Zerotwo's eyes turned to crescents and her smile was beautiful as she took his hand and replied "Yes, Darling~"
A while later
The duo were in Strelizia butchering Klaxosaurs, Hiro said "Clank, give me all the memories. We're throwing cannon back on track." Clank snorted "Kinda fucked that with the self destruct system, Mr. Hackerman." Hiro sneered "They won't even know. Those morons will probably realize an hour before it happens and get the kids out before the building explodes. Good thing we robbed the place."
Clank responded "You need a bigger system space?" Hiro chuckled "You offering a deal? I was thinking Inner world." Clank rolled his eyes and stopped speaking, Hiro chuckled to himself and suddenly his brain started hurting.
He groaned and started feeling dizzy, he wanted knowledge, not to die! Fucking Clank... Before passing out and hearing "DARLING!?!" just before everything went black.

Hiro woke up in a hospital bed in the city inside Plantation 13. He yawned and sat up, the rest of the group was there and Ichigo smiled "You're awake!" Hiro looked around and said with a smile "You kicked her out, right?" the group was stunned and Ichigo said "You can't be with her anymore!"
Hiro nodded and said "I see. Alright, thank you. Get out of my room." Ichigo was stunned and said "B-" Hiro smiled and closed his eyes saying "I said, get out. Right now." Goro said "Let's go. Rest well, Hiro." before taking a dazed Ichigo with him as the rest left.
Hiro looked at Mitsuru and said "Your promise. I remember it." Mitsuru stopped before continuing silently. Hiro got out of bed, taking out the IVs and sitting in front of the glass window. He sat down and pulled out a table, along with a bunch of small tools and a metal thing.
He started working on it as the time passed.
A day later
Hiro was sitting in bed looking at his status.

He hummed to himself and looked at the small sliver watch with red clock hands and blue numbers. The face of the watch was small and the band was linked and slim, it was clearly a woman's watch. He smiled to himself, he hadn't been doing nothing all this time.
He looked at the item description [Silver watch: a finely crafted silver watch. Maker: Hiro] he chuckled to himself, he didn't make something spectacular. He looked at his bandaged hands and sighed, making watches was surprisingly difficult.
Suddenly the door opened, the watch disappeared and Ichigo walked in. She said "Hey. I brought you an apple." Hiro glanced at her with sarcasm and said nothing, she sat down and took out a knife before cutting the apple in silence.
Hiro really wanted to take that knife and stab her in the fucking head, but he held back. This dumb bitch, where does she get off separating him from his Angel? Honestly. How many times does he have to hint that he doesn't like her. Can't she just fuck off already? There's a reason she was the most hated anime character at one point.
She has such a punchable face.
