Goddammit Part 3.

Now the girl had a renewed spirit, though and ripped into the enemy. The Zearth was simply too strong for the other robot to withstand. She ripped it open to the cockpit and paused. It seemed everyone was wondering if Kana would be able to finish the battle - even Captain Tanaka. Because of that, she got distracted and another fighter jet hit her plane. She was able to eject, but the enemy robot sent out a sort of rescue tube that latched around her and pulled next to it. Now if Kana wanted to attack, she’d have to kill Captain Tanaka as well. The young girl couldn’t do it and the enemy robot picked up the offensive. Machi asked Dung Beetle if he could teleport Captain Tanaka, but he could not. Ushiro just told Kana to fight back - if she didn’t, they would die. Ushiro told her Captain Tanaka was going to die anyway - she was part of the contract. …But Kana retorted that Captain Tanaka was his mother. Captain Tanaka…was Ushiro’s mother. While they were talking, she’d removed her helmet. She smiled right at Ushiro, who was caught in a

She told Ushiro he would be the last one - it would be his job to gather new pilots for the next world, like Garaku did. He would have a support to help him. She started to ask her brother if he could choose the next Dung Beetle, but Ushiro asked her something: If he didn’t gather pilots, what would happen? She assumed the battle would continue and he would have to fight - what would gather people would be his Earth’s final battle. She hypothesized that each Earth was effected by the one before it and asked her brother if she was right, but he coldly told her to stop asking him. She was surprised for a moment but her expression softened. He eventually said it was possible - it was even possible for the cycle to circle back around, though he had no idea how long it would be - ten years, ten thousand years - it was all up in the air. He didn’t seem to care what was going to happen to this Earth. Machi said it was because she was going to die - even though he was their support, he didn’t care about anyone but her. She grabbed him by the

They spent the rest of the day with Waku’s parents, telling them about the nature study summer camp trip. Ushiro had an amazing memory - he was able to recount things Machi never even noticed. Dung Beetle had helped them as well. Before the trip, they asked him about the other pilots, for he could watch them when the others couldn’t. They learned more about their dead friends than they’d ever dreamed of. Waku’s parents, in turn, showed the two pictures of their son. They slept in Waku’s house that night. The next morning, they set out for the next house and Machi teased Ushiro about how he’d introduced himself with “Boku” at Waku’s house (it is a very formal way of saying “I” and he usually didn’t use it). She clarified that though they’d only known each other for a few months, it wasn’t like they’d just met. She didn’t care if it was true or not, but she wanted to feel like they were close friends - all of them

Nakama’s mother was in the hospital - she’d been injured while looking for her daughter during one of the attacks. When they introduced themselves as the ones her daughter met with that day, Ms. Nakarai started crying and actually fell out of her hospital bed. They moved to help her up, but she drew both of them into an awkward hug. When she calmed down, the explained to her what her daughter had been involved with and the uniforms she’d made them. Ushiro was the one to tell her of the nicknames they’d given each other - and that Mako Nakarai became Nakama - which meant “precious friends

When they reached Katari’s house, Mr. and Mrs. Karita told them of his situation after they explained the truth. They had been planning on getting divorced before Katari’s murder. He probably wanted to claim to be a pilot to take their minds off it. His family, they said, was the most important thing for him. He’d probably wanted to…so his little brother - his brother still in elementary school - wouldn’t have to go through his parents divorce. The little boy, Shouji, was sitting in a small sandbox nearby his house, as he did every day after his brother’s death. It was decided that Machi would speak to him - Ushiro didn’t have that great a track record with younger siblings, after all. Machi approached Shouji and told him she was a friend of his brother’s. When the boy didn’t respond, she sat down next to him. He started to talk about how his parents were both liars and his brother too. It was why he got bullied all the time. Machi said his parents would never lie to him again - and his brother didn’t lie about being a pilot. When

...before he pulled the trigger, hitting her right in the head. She flew backwards, hitting the ground hard. Ushiro stood up, too stunned to do anything but stare at the boy and Machi’s limp form. While Ushiro stood there, paralyzed in shock, the boy walked up to him and pointed the gun at him too…and fired just as he was teleported away. The shot missed and Dung Beetle showed up, snapping Ushiro back to reality. He called out Machi’s name, but she didn’t respond. Dung Beetle said he’d left them alone for a moment because he didn’t want to hear them talking. He could, however, sense she was still alive. Their body guard, who had been too far away to do anything before, called the nearby hospital. They would be there in minutes - but Dung Beetle teleported her there himself. The body guard took the stunned Shouji back to his parents’ house and told Ushiro to go to the hospital as well

Part 8. TL;DR

[brthrs_watchdog]

Character personality- Before her encounters with the “parallel universe pruning,” Machi was, for all extents and purposes, a normal girl. She was cheerful, happy, and enthusiastic, always trying to have fun but knowing when to relax. Her brother made it…difficult to be bright and happy at times, considering how mean he was to her, but she knew deep down he was a good person. After her world got introduced to its robot, though, her happy carefree life disappeared. Thus, Machi still keeps a jovial attitude - somewhat perky when she needs to be, openly teasing those she’s comfortable with - but below it lurks a much more introspective side. She has guilt issues, for she still believes it was her fault her friends entered the contract and her fault they were the ones that had to pilot Zearth. She keeps these things to herself, though, and thoroughly tries to be an optimist, as she did back in their world. It is, truly, for their sakes at times. This optimism has influenced her beliefs as well: Though there’s not much evidence to it, she
