...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.
The shot hit Machi on her right side, just barely missing her brain. The hospital worked fast and she was still alive - but in a coma she would probably never wake up from. She wasn’t shot by a boy - he was a man in his forties. He was most probably an assassin from another country, given that the gun was an illegal one from Communist China. They couldn’t question him - Dung Beetle had teleported him to the sun. The shot from the gun…was lodged inside Machi’s skull. Dung Beetle told Mr. Sasami not to inform Machi’s “family.” It would only worry them and the girl they were operating on wasn’t their daughter, after all. Mr. Sasami talked with Mr. Tate, expressing the horrible timing of the situation. If the enemy robot were to appear right now…they would have no chance. The battle would continue. Dung Beetle talked to Machi alone, even though she couldn’t hear him, unconscious and bandaged. He told her she was an idiot…but accepted that maybe he was the dumbest one among them.
Dung Beetle told Mr. Sasami and Ushiro straight out that they were in a tough situation and he wasn’t going to use Machi as the next pilot. Ushiro said he didn’t mind waiting, but he didn’t understand - if they were attacked now, they were all dead. Machi was going to die either way - and this way, it would save this Earth. He told them not to worry about Machi anymore. He would kill her. He told them both not to worry about the last pilot; he’d take care of it. When they expressed their distrust, he said his sister had been willing to die for this world - and in the end was going to. He would save it for her.
They left brother and sister alone and Dung Beetle told her he was sorry about everything. This was all he could think of. He apologized for being a heartless brother and disconnected her from the life support. Without checking to see if she was still alive, he teleported her with the intentions of sending her right about the ocean - the same ocean the fifteen kids explored all those months ago. She could rest there, in her friends’ world.
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 likes to believe in reincarnation. She has, in fact, forced herself to believe it’s possible, for if it’s not, her friends are truly dead and gone and if she ever accepts that, it may break her.
So more accurately, Machi is a very emotional girl. She tries and tries to be happy for those who need her, but when it gets too much she breaks down. She’s not afraid to speak her mind and stand up for what she believes in - she’s got determination to be rivaled. When she puts her mind to something, she’ll follow it through, even if it means her death - she did it once, after all.
More than anything…she’s the kind of girl who just wants those around her to be happy. No matter what it takes.
Character abilities- Without the Zearth, Machi is like any other teenage girl. She is rather athletic for her age and somewhat fast - but that’s all.
