[c]haos ;; [C]OVET STARTER
“ALERT! ALERT! YoRHa Units infected with the Logic Virus have manifested nearby.”
“POD, FOCUS!” The sound of steel grinding against steel set the backdrop to the exchange between android and Pod as her blade broke away from an identical sword. Seeing an opening, her opponent embedded its heel into her stomach and kicked 2B full force, sending her through the living room window of her own apartment and onto the street below. Luckily, 2B landed on her feet with enough time to hold her blade up horizontally to block a falling, vertical blow.
The attacker was a female type, clad in armor YoRHa saved for special operations. Red eyes glowed from beneath the helmet. It was the first time she’d ever seen this sight, and yet... nostalgia stirred in her ‘soul’.
There were two more. One to her left and one approaching from behind. Anyone on the street seemed to turn heel to run, which was for the best.
“MACHINE LIFEFORM DETECTED DUE EAST.”
Eyes darted in the designated direction. It was a girl. She looked human enough, but Pod was never wrong. She was a machine. Perhaps something similar to an android, but not so much for Pod to designate her as one. Was she like SOP? She was armed, and it seemed like one of the attacking units had noticed as much. It swerved and dashed in her direction, blade raised in a stabbing posture.
“DAMNIT!” With her own speed it was difficult, but 2B managed to get between the two just before the blade struck, instead embedding the blade in 2B’s own left shoulder. Clearly in pain, she looked over her right shoulder at the girl.
“You need to... run... This isn’t your fight.” She’d be damned if she let a girl with a look that reminded her of herself in her eyes get mixed up in this.
