The Lost Angel of Hope (9S x Angel!Reader)

1 - Awakening

*~(NOTE: I have not played through the whole game yet. Don't expect 100% accuracy and this isn't going along with the story line. It's a partial alternate story route I thought up randomly while playing the game and listening to music. Okay, enjoy. )~*

Quiet...everything was always quiet this time of day. You could only hear the sounds of rushing water in the distance, it was peaceful enough that you could just stay asleep forever.

==========

In other areas of this place 2B had finished clearing out a local area as 9S gathers data. It was full of trees, animals and plenty of water you'd almost think it was untouched. He wonders why they have never been able to find this place. There were barely any machines if not just this small group alone.

Were they searching for you too? Why?

*~Flashback~*

The hacked data from the enemy base they infiltrated had some sort of coordinate unknown to him. While the fight to get out of the building raged on 9S sends the data back to the bunker before backing 2B up in the fight.

Before the base collapsed it seemed the two made it out although a new message came in from HQ almost to quickly for comfort. "2B you are being called back to the bunker immediately."

"Understood," she responds before the message ends. Not one to stick her nose in when curious she was ready to start the next task so they decide she should be dispatched somewhere else. They were soldiers for mankind after all.

9S on the other hand was a big ball of curious. Even without voicing it completely he follows his partner to the bunker knowing it was about those notes he'd sent back.

============

Once the duo had made it back they were informed that when those coordinators were looked at they only got a frame of something before the computer crashed. With a push of a button the frozen image was brought up. A female in a long white dress was floating inside a large see through barrier, knees held close as if she was within a deep slumbering egg, and white feathery wings seemed to be shielding her body partially.

"Besides this we were able to decode a short passage from those notes you managed to send." Another press of a button and a passage pops up.

'When mankind is driven into it's last line, an angel left in slumber shall be awoken and become the key to rid the evil from Earth.'

"An..angel?" 9S spoke almost confused at the idea of such a thing existing. The other continues on. "The passage stops there as the rest is seemingly lost thanks to this so called angel repelling us. I have been given orders to have you two travel to this place and bring this angel back here."

If one could see his eyes they'd widen out of shock. "You can't be serious?" The commander looks back at them. "I am, and this is an order. 2B, you and 9S shall go retrieve the angel and bring her in for examining. We shall see if she is the key humankind needs to end this fight."

*~End of Flashback~*

It's been about an hour since landing and the only threat seemed to be this small group of machines. He scans the area finally picking up some signs of a heartbeat past the vines that littered the wall. "I'm picking up a living entity past this point."

2B speeds off in the direction with him following not far behind brushing on past the vines, from there a short cave was passed through leading into a semi-enclosed area where a large elder tree stretches to the heavens. "There in the tree!" He points out seeing you.

As soon as one step twords you was taken the ground rumbles violently as two larger machines break through the floor. 2B pulls out her katana getting ready to buy him some time. "9S, go retrieve the angel. I'll handle these two," she orders.

He hesitates at first but dashes off twords the tree with his pod floating on behind. The tree had enough bends and vines to make for an easy enough climb. It wasn't until he got to the barrier keeping you inside that there was a problem. "H-Hey...can you hear me in there?" When seeing your wings twitch in reaction he assumed it was a 'yes'. "We've come to rescue you, it's dangerous here." 9S tried to think of ways to convince you that at least he was safe if you disagreed.

"I don't want to wake up." Your voice silently whispers into thin air entering his mind telepathically. It was so peaceful in this place. "I'm afraid," you add softly.

His gloved hand rests on the barrier as he spoke calmly despite the fight going on down below. "The world can be a scary place, but at the very least you can trust me. I promise I'll protect you if you come out." At this point he felt like he was picking at straws, he was made as a scanner not some negotiator.

Hesitant you mull over the strangers promise before the wings move slightly allowing (E/C) hues to finally open and reveal themselves. Your body floats over to him reaching out as the barrier cracks. "It's a promise." Gentle arms had wrapped themselves around his neck in a hug. Your first ever contact with another was what you'd always dreamed about. Warm.

Somewhat flustered at the contact of another he froze for merely a moment before pulling away. "See? Now isn't it much nicer out that bubble of yours?"

You answer him with a small smile and a nod.

In much need to check on his partner 9S carries you down the tree somehow with the help of his pod. Not as easy as one might think. "I found her," he reports as she seemed to be standing there waiting for them. "Hello, angel we are androids who work for YoRHa. We've come to bring you back with us to help."

A little worried you move behind the male gripping onto his hand. What was YoRHa? How are you supposed to help? Who are you supposed to help?

White wings fold along your back as you obviously were uncomfortable with the information. 9S tugs on your hand lightly attempting to be friendly. "There's nothing to be scared of okay? I promised right?"

A small nod was given and you heave a sigh stepping out agreeing silently to go with them.

The peaceful sounds of the water is now replaced with the sight of the two dressed in black before you. "N..names?" You shakily ask. It's the first time in forever you've used your real voice since within that barrier you could only speak telepathically.

2B took the lead here as you were being led out away from your home. "I am called 2B and he, 9S. As I mentioned before we are androids built to be soldiers for mankind. There is a war going on between machines and us as we try to get Earth back."

This sounded familiar.

All of it sounded vaguely like it was something that already happened.

While walking you didn't bother to let 9S's hand go despite him looking uncomfortable and 2B eyeing it. "What's your name?" She asks as you three make it back to the ship. It took you a moment to respond as you've not had to remember for such a long time, but when you did a smile adorned your features.

You remembered.

"... (Y/N)."

*~(A/N): It's been awhile since I've really gotten into a story. I bought the game's day one edition and am still in the beginning however I do love how adorable 9S is though I do know he and everyone can get weird depending on the ending in general. Had to delete and republish this chapter because it wouldn't save the changes I was making. )~*
