A single sigh was all you could hear from within the school building, a lone boy still seated at his desk, watching the setting sun from the window, the city bathed in an orange glow. His eyes narrowed, not in anger, but sadness. Not a sadness acquired from a single event, but rather the kind of sadness that accumulates over time till it's an ever present expression. One of his elbows leaned on the desk as his fist held his head up, his greyish blue eyes observing the students still walking freely from the school with longing.

Eventually he stood up, his hand traveling to the back of the chair as he pushed it in. Grabbing his backpack as he slid it over his medium length straight brown hair and tucked in white dress shirt, the single strap resting comfortably across his chest as his bag bobbed with each step, practically slapping his dark pants as he walked, joining into the evening traffic of students leaving school after finishing their after school activities. Many of the students around him all engrossed in conversation as they walked, a few even turning to point him out to their friends, their hands held to their mouth telling him without him having to remove his headphones that they were whispering.

He didn't need to hear them to know they were talking about his moniker of being the Third Child.

It had been common knowledge for a some time. He was one of three children used to pilot gigantic robots called Eva's to defend Tokyo-3 from Angels. Although no one was really sure on what exactly an Angel was, everyone knew they were destructive, dangerous, and incredibly tough to kill. Least by conventional means, he'd seen them attempted, but every one of those attempts ended without the Angel getting so much as a scratch. Not even explosions touched them because none of it could breach its protective barrier - AT field. He, along with the first two children, were the only ones who could pilot the Eva's which could use the power of the Angels against them, essentially being the only thing between them and the end of the world as they knew it.

He hated it. He hated being forced to put himself in harm's way. He hated that he had to do all of this just to try to get his father's approval. He hated NERV for being the organization to make it possible for him to be in this position. Though, if he were to be given the choice to do otherwise - to be taken out of the program and be put back into the background as another nameless face no one cares for - he wouldn't. As much as he hated it, he couldn't deny that there parts of it he loved.

He loved the friends he'd made - Misato, Rei, Toji, Kensuke, and even Asuka. He loved feeling needed, even if superficially. He loved the attention it got him, but mostly he loved the praise he'd gotten from his father, no matter how minimal it had been.

That was just the life Shinji Ikari lived.

He had been lost in his thoughts, his music barely registering as he walked, but the students that surrounded him all beginning to run to the sides practically screamed for him to turn his attention to it. Shock registered on his face for a split second as he saw the students getting out of the way of a small blue car which was driving at a fast speed towards him. He didn't move, he knew whose car it was, and because of that he knew it wasn't a threat to him, but he knew what the car was coming to him for would be. As he expected, the blue car ended up screeching to a stop as it turned to the side, the passenger door a few steps in front of him when it finally halted. The door opening immediately after revealing a woman with dark purple hair that fell to her shoulders and amber eyes which were narrowed in seriousness - Misato.

"Get in." Her voice was filled with urgency. Shinji did as he was instructed, closing the door behind him as the car roared to life, taking off down the street once again. Shinji noticing that more and more people were running, not because of the car this time, but because of the lock down warning airing over the radio. That was something he could use to tell what was occurring - an Angel was attacking.

"Is it an Angel?" Shinji asked, but Misato gritted her teeth, never taking her eyes off the road as she answered.

"We don't know." She answered. "It has the general height of an Angel, but from what we can tell it lacks an A.T field and its wavelength isn't blue."

"Then why is everyone evacuating? And where's Asuka?"

"Better to be safe than chance it with so many lives at stake, so we sent Asuka and Rei ahead while I came and picked you up."

"If it isn't an Angel, what is it?"

"We aren't sure. We assume it may be a new kind of Angel, but that means that we have to worry about what its lack of defensive strengths means. Then on the other hand, it might not be an Angel at all, but that doesn't mean it isn't a threat." Misato explained, swerving the car onto another street, eager to reach NERV headquarters as soon as possible. "Ritsuko," Misato stated into her cellphone, "I've got Shinji! How's Asuka and Rei doing?"

"Ritsuko, I've got Shinji! How's Asuka and Rei doing?" The voice on the other end of the line asked. The woman in question looking towards the monitor before her that showed her the battle occurring. Her green eyes almost watching it with cold indifference, the light the monitor produced making her blond hair practically shine in the darkened room.

"They're both doing well." She answered, taking the cigarette out from her mouth so she could blow a puff of smoke from her lungs. "They just reached it not to long ago, and as it appears they've got it cornered, but -"

"But?" Misato interrupted, her voice strict on the surface, but laced with worry.

"But our scans of it aren't yielding any results that dictate it as being an Angel. Even so, it is rather remarkable." Ritsuko explained, pacing her desk before heading towards the command center where Misato would usually stand to observe and command the battle.

"How is it remarkable? Damn it, Ritsuko! Answer!" Ritsuko wasn't listening to her though, instead focused solely on the image on the screen before her, the phone at her side as Misato continued to yell.

"How are the pilots Sync Ratios?" She asked aloud, expecting any of the three that worked under Misato to answer.

"Optimal, both pilots are operating at the best numbers we've seen from them." The only girl of the three - Maya Ibuki - answered.

"They've got it on the ropes! It can't do anything but dodge them!" The one with long black hair that fell to his shoulders chimed in - Shigeru Aoba.

"Since it isn't an Angel," the last of the three began as he turned to face the other two, "was sending two Eva's really necessary?"

"What are you talking about Makoto?" Shigeru asked. "It's at least the size of a skyscraper! What else other than an Angel have you seen get to be that big?"

"Sorry, guess you're right." He answered, sheepishly scratching the back of his head, ruffling his short black hair as his eyes were shut behind his glasses.

"Angel or not," Ritsuko stated, immediately getting the attention of the three of them, "it is a foreseeable threat if we allow it any further towards Tokyo-3 and the Geo-front." The three of them nodding as they continued to watch the feed, observing as they watched both Unit-0 and Unit-2 attempt to land successive attacks on a red and white being about the same size as them if not smaller by a few feet. Its green eyes and movements what were catching her eye. "I think it is safe to say it isn't an Angel, but from its movements it is clear that it is an intelligent life form... interesting." She explained taking another drag of her cigarette.

"Whatever it is won't stay still and let me hit it!" Asuka's voice could be hear complaining over the intercom. "It's not even fighting back! I didn't know Angel's felt fear!"

"What's happening!" Ritsuko could hear Misato yelling from the phone at her side, but she only looked at it with a sigh before turning her attention back to the screen.

"Asuka, we don't believe it's an Angel." Ritsuko explained to her by walking to the desk and pressing a button to talk to her. "Can you get a good look at it so we can see better what exactly it is?" Ritsuko letting the button go as she turned to the three workers, nodding to them as they typed into their keyboards and changed the view from a camera observing the battle to the camera from within Asuka's Eva.

"Like that's a problem for someone of my level!" Asuka practically laughed, moving the Eva's head so that everyone at NERV could view the creature's whole body.

Ritsuko's eyes widening upon spotting something on the creature, immediately telling the three to rewind it a bit and freeze the image. Turning to the deck overlooking the one she was currently on she could see Gendo Ikari - Shinji's father and commander of NERV - looking at the scene with the same serious expression he always wore. His black eyes focused solely on the image on the screen from his orange tinted glasses. His short black hair only adding to the seriousness of his appearance. Usually he sat at a desk with his elbows on the table supporting his interlocked fingers that he rested his chin against, but he was currently standing up, interested in what she had found.

The symbol of a green hourglass on the creature's white chest.

"Stay still damn it!" Asuka yelled from within her Eva as she lunged forward in her chair from within her entry plug, her connection to the Unit making it imitate her action. Her waist long orange hair swaying with each attempted lunge she made, her blue eyes narrowed with rage. Intent to stab her opponent with her Unit's knife filled her movements, yet none of them connected. The creature that lacked any kind of special defense that was commonly found in her usual opponents, however, displayed speed unexpected of its size and jumped back, avoiding it like it had so many other attempts."Why aren't you helping First Child? We could have killed it already!"

"I don't believe it's here to harm." Rei answered as she watched Asuka's red painted Eva continuously attempt to inflict a wound on the creature, only for it to avoid it each time with widened eyes. Each time he had to jump back it appeared that it was checking around it with quick glances to see what it is he was jumping back towards. Rei was relaxed in her chair, but her hands were still around her Unit's controls in case. Her light blue hair falling to her neck, her red eyes watching Asuka's opponents movements, actions, and characteristic's, each of which told her it wasn't an Angel, but what else could it be?

"Coward!" Asuka fumed, the creature looking at her in disbelief before it smiled. "Is it... smiling?"

"Coward? I'm not the one using a knife." The creature's finger waving like a disapproving parent, but Asuka was in disbelief, stopping her attempts to stab it in pure shock that it had spoke.

"It just spoke." She breathed, her hands falling limply to her side within her Entry Plug, causing her Unit's arms to fall limply to its side as a result.

"Did it just speak?" Shigeru asked, looking around as if to make sure he wasn't the only one who heard it, the command center falling into shocked silence.

"It just spoke." Asuka's voice confirmed over the intercom, Maya and Makoto's faces filled with just as much surprise as his.

"I want to know what this thing is! Check every known wavelength!" Ritsuko commanded. The three immediately getting to work as their constant typing filled the air, giving the room a sense of busyness and urgency. "Very interesting." She took the final drag of her cigarette, crushing it into the nearby ashtray, her mind already at work trying to figure out the answer to the questions that began to plague her head.

"What do you suppose it is, sir?" Gendo's assistant - Fuyutsuki - asked, his aged appearance shattered with youthful curiosity.

"I don't know," Gendo replied, his voice not giving away the slightest emotion, "but I intend to find out if its something I can use." Fuyutsuki eying his boss for a second before smiling and turning back to the screen. He should have expected nothing less from him, but it always seemed to surprise him none-the-less. His hair has grayed and his once hopeful black eyes have lost their spirit with all that has happened to them within his lifetime, but it seemed the world truly was filled with surprises.

"I thought my enemies were bad," the creature stated, not making any moves as it spoke, "I don't even know you and you pull out knives on me!"

It was complaining?

"Whatever you are, I'm going to kill you! Talking or not!" Asuka roared, her eyes widening in rage as her hands took the controls once again, pushing them forward with her as she lunged. The creature expecting it as it side stepped her, slamming its fist into her wrist, forcing her to drop the knife before it used its free arm to push her backwards. Asuka struggling to keep her balance as she continued to step backwards in an attempt to correct herself, rubbing her right wrist as she gritted her teeth and glared at her opponent.

"That's enough of that." It stepped over the knife which pierced the Earth's crust like butter, sticking out of the grassy landscape like a skyscraper in both appearance and size. "Can't we settle this peacefully?"

"First you talk, now you're talking peace? What about anything you Angel's have done ever been peaceful?" Asuka yelled, her voice reaching the creature from a speaker system. "You won't be getting sympathy from me." She huffed.

"Angel? Like Religious? What are you talking about? I'm Ben Tennyson!" When no response was made he seemed almost let down. "You mean you haven't heard of me? I've only saved the world a ton of times!" He touched the symbol on his chest, but once he realized nothing was happening he began to tap it repeatedly, increasing in urgency with each strike to the hour glass symbol. "Watch's stuck. Great." He slumped his arms in displeasure.

"Well we might now how to fix it." Asuka offered, Ben's eyes lighting up as he straightened his figure in happiness. Rei, however, knew that Asuka's tone was forced, hiding the fact that she wasn't telling the whole truth. She just hoped she didn't kill him. Ben walked over to her crimson colored Unit, a proud spring in his steps as Asuka gestured for him to walk in a certain direction. "Too easy!" Asuka exclaimed once Ben was within distance, his eyes wide in surprise but he didn't register her fist soon enough to dodge it before it hit him in the face, toppling him over to the ground as the Earth seemed to shake from his fall. "Idiot."

"Ma'am! We've ran the pattern analysis of it with everything and you won't believe this!" Maya exclaimed, her eyes lingering to the computer screen as long as they could as she turned to face her superior.

"What? What did they say?" Ritsuko asked, moving over to see the results on the screen over her shoulder before her eyes widened in surprise. Looking back up to the screen displaying the battle as if she were trying to piece things together to see how she could have reached this conclusion.

"What did it say?" Gendo asked, her voice carrying despite the large size of the room and distance between them, his voice filled with unmistakable authority.

"Well, sir," Ritsuko began, ignoring the shaking caused from the creature's fall at Asuka's hands, "it says he's-"

"HUMAN!" Misato's voice rang out in shock. Everyone turning momentarily to see her standing in the doorway, her hands outstretched keeping both doors at bay. Shinji bent down to catch a glimpse of the screen from beneath her arms, then they turned to the screen, surprised to see the creature glowing green before it disappeared, replaced by a boy, no younger than seventeen, in the center of the crater.

"I want the boy in custody before he wakes up." Gendo commanded, walking back to his desk, resting his chin against his intertwined fingers in thought.

"The First Child can get that idiot," Asuka's voice replied over the intercom, the image on the screen showing her walking towards her knife, pulling it out of the ground as the last remaining tints of orange sunlight reflected off of it. The sun finally settling below the horizon as Rei walked over, picking up the unconscious boy in her Eva's hands. "I'm the one that knocked him out."

Ben awoke with a start, taking a few shallow breaths before the pain of his head hit him, causing him to instinctively bend over slightly as his hand rushed to his pain. It started out as a small ache in his head, but as he sat there he found that the pain seemed to worsen to the point that the tips of his fingers were gripping onto the bangs of his brown hair as a means of alleviation.

"She hit me pretty hard," he stated, the pain of his migraine finally subsiding, letting him turn his weary eyes to the dark room surrounding him. His green eyes hardly able to tell anything about the room aside from the fact that it was like the average cell, a small bed seemingly coming from the wall with terrible sheets, a toilet not too far from that, and a single door with what looked to be slots in the top and bottom. From experience with movies he was willing to guess the top was for whoever ran this place to look through, and the bottom for them to shove in trays of food.

"You're awake." A voice spoke from the other side of the door as the top slot was slid to the side, an indistinguishable pair of eyes looking at him with curiosity.

"Yeah." Ben answered. "Nice place you got here, really sprung for the luxuries." The voice on the other side even chuckling a little at that.

"You must forgive the lack of hospitality," the voice spoke, distinguishably male, "but it isn't everyday we get visitors that can do what you can. Though that isn't to say you're the first one we've had that was that size."

"You mean Way Big? Explains the robots, but what did that girl keep calling me an Angel for?" Ben asked.

"I suppose I can do you that much as long as you cooperate." The slid shut shortly before Ben heard the door knob turn from the other side, the door opening and bathing the room in light that burned his eyes to adjust to, the figure from behind the door only visible as a silhouette before he stepped further in, letting Ben see his face. He kind of reminded him of Kevin, if Kevin's black hair fell to his shoulders in a ponytail. The man's grey eyes shown not a single sign of fear despite him obviously hearing about Ben and viewing him as the enemy. A smirk on his lips and a few stray hairs on his chin gave him an ruggedly professional appearance.

"You seem pretty calm considering you all view me as the enemy." Ben voiced his thoughts. "Aren't you afraid I'll just use this moment and escape?"

"Not really, I have faith in your cooperation," he replied, taking a seat next to Ben on the bed. "Unless you'd rather me do the ugly part of my job and shoot you?" Ben didn't know what it was, but he couldn't tell if he was being serious or joking. He was just too calm and relaxed, something about him was up.

"I'll pass." Ben answered. "So what about these Angel's?"

"That is a long story, but I suppose I could tell it if you tell me yours after?" Ben couldn't help but agree, he was just too smooth.

"Well," he started, staring straight ahead at the wall in front of them, his relaxed smirk becoming a serious frown, "to give you the general knowledge version of it would be to tell you that the Angel's are here to wipe out humanity, mostly they come at around the size you first did, but not all of them. Highly destructive, hard to kill, and I doubt you'd be able to scour the planet and find someone who wasn't affected by them in some way. Whether it be a direct attack from here, or just being effected by First Impact."

"First Impact?"

"It was a global cataclysm that wiped out the dinosaur population. Then not extremely long ago it happened again, this time in Antarctica, wiping out nearly half the world's population."

"I figured I wasn't in the universe I know but something that bad happened twice? How?"

"Classified," he replied, giving Ben a slight smirk before continuing, "but what I can tell you is that these Angels are attempting to cause a third one, which is why we have these robots that can fight on even footing with them, as well as explaining why we were so quick to go after you. You have a rare gift, kid."

"Call me Ben." Ben offered his hand. "In the universe I'm from I've kind of become a celebrity so it's weird to be unknown again."

"Haha, is that so? You can call me Kaji." Kaji laughed, shaking Ben's hand. "Now why don't we hear about your story? I'm sure its a fairly good one."

"Well when I was ten I found this watch," Ben began, gesturing to the device on his wrist currently. "Not this one specifically, but a prototype for it called the Omnitrix. It was created by an alien named Azmuth, who designed it to let someone walk in the shoes of every sentient alien in the galaxy."

"Aliens?"

"Angels?" Ben countered, Kaji holding his hands up in defense before gesturing him to continue. "Well I started out with only ten forms, but overtime I've unlocked a few, like sixty actually. Eventually all the times I saved the galaxy got out and I became an overnight celebrity... literally."

"That's a powerful device you have there. I would keep that kind of thing a secret as best I could, I don't know about your universe, but in ours, there are a plentiful amount of people that would see it as not only the worlds saving grace, but as their own ticket to power." Kaji explained standing up. "Power really is the root of all evil, after all."

"Not anything I haven't dealt with before. I got more than enough power to stand up to anyone after the Omnitrix!" Ben exclaimed, standing up as he gestured to the watch.

"You got taken out by a girl pretty quickly." Kaji joked, shutting the door as Ben started spouting excuses about how "she cheated", not paying him any mind as he left him with the words, "just watch yourself Ben. Someone will come get you in a few."

Ben didn't need to see him to know that Kaji was most likely doing a wave over his back, more to act as a end to the conversation to him than to Ben, who only sat back on the bed and with a quick sliding motion on the watch's interface, began to cycle through the holographic representations of his aliens, more as a way to think than to select one to use. "How can I get back to Bellwood when I don't even know where it is I am?" Deciding it was probably best to play along and see what else he could learn since they didn't seem to necessarily be bad people, but if he escaped - an easy feat with as many aliens as he had to pick from - he wasn't sure what he would learn after that or what it was he would be fighting against.

So for now, he'd just sit and wait for someone to get him.

"You're from another world you say?" The man that Ben had been introduced to as Gendo Ikari questioned, his chin rested against his intertwined fingers. A tall aged man standing behind him to his right, looking over Gendo's shoulder at Ben, his gaze as if trying to decide like many of them if he was an enemy or not. "A world with aliens." The last word was laced with skepticism.

"Like Angels are something you see everyday!" Ben exclaimed, instinctively attempting to move his hands to gesture what he was saying and compliment it, but found as he ended up pushing himself forward, that his handcuffs that tied his hands behind his back weren't about to give way any time soon.

"How is it that you got here?"

"I dunno." Ben answered, wincing as he peeked over his shoulder, trying to see the handcuffs that were currently pinching his skin. "Hey, uh, can we do this without the handcuffs? They're pinching my skin." Ben turned back to him with a pleading look in his eyes, but the look in Gendo's answered all too quickly that it was an unyielding negative.

"You're from America, correct?" Ben nodding. "Then how is it you can understand us and we can understand you?"

"The Omnitrix can act as a translator, usually used between alien species but I never thought to try it on languages."

"I'd be correct in assuming your world has a way to keep these beings in check?"

"Kinda..." Ben trailed, scratching the back of his head sheepishly as he imagined the Plumbers - the intergalactic police - back in Bellwood creating giant robots to defeat all the aliens. "Our situation is different though."

"I see," Gendo replied.

"Did they send you here unknowingly?" The old man behind Gendo asked.

"I wouldn't put it past them. I've had my fair share of experiences with other universes." Ben shrugged. Gendo just couldn't put his finger on it, this boy was so casual about being in an entirely new universe, one so foreign to his, and yet not a single trace of fear. Was it the Omnitrix that gave him so much confidence?

"I may have a use for you."

"What makes you so sure I wanna help? You're not exactly being very welcoming."

Ben didn't have to look too hard to find the answer as five men charged into the room as if on cue, each of them pointing their guns directly at Ben. Ben's eyes widening in surprise before his expression soured, Gendo's own expression being one of control, a smirk barely visible telling Ben he fell right into it.

"Then I shall have you killed and will take the device for myself."

"Fat chance." Ben laughed. "I'm Ben Tennyson. I can do anything and things work out." Ben looked around as he spoke, eying the guys who were eying him, each of them inclined to pull the trigger and just end it, each hoping to claim that power for themselves as they each seemed to wear smirks. Ben could tell that despite the organization being designed to fight these creatures, it had become painfully obvious that they weren't prepared for human threats. He'd first noticed it with the cell, then it really struck him when he noticed that despite the advanced weapons for their time, the people holding them were practically new. One of them visibly trembling, something which made Ben smirk with hope as he'd found his escape.

"I'm a busy man, Benjamin. You either cooperate or you shall be disposed of." He paused to let the words sink in. "Which shall it be?"

"How about..." Ben trailed, giving the illusion of him thinking it over before suddenly proclaiming with a smirk. "...option three - win!" Once the words left his mouth he lunged, driving his shoulder into the guard directly behind him, before rolling off of him and making it to his feet, all the while easing his fingers over to the watch as best they could. Gendo didn't say or word or even move, instead he just watched as the trembling guard took a shot, missing by a mile as the bullet shot and impacted the wall, just to the left of where Gendo was standing before Ben took the guard down with a swift kick to the shin.

"We need more men-" Gendo silenced fuyutsuki by raising a hand, intent to watch and see how the boy worked as he noted that he rendered the guard's guns obsolete by staying between them and himself, the guards unwilling to fire and risk hitting him. The four not tending to their injured leg were trying to use the butts of their guns to strike him, but Ben proved to be a more capable opponent that he imaged, something which brought a smile to his face as he saw potential in the boy.

"Come on... ah, here we go!" Ben exclaimed, giving away the fact that he had managed to sneak his fingers to the watch, unable to see which alien it was he was pulling up but uncaring as he dodged more and more attempts to hit him, each closer than the last, as he figured any alien would be better than his situation then. "Gimme something good!" He remarked as all five simultaneous jabbed him with the guns at the same instance his body became enveloped in green light which lasted only a second, leaving the scene that sat at the other side of the desk of five armed guards, each holding the end of a gun that rested against the white furry chest of what would best be described as a muscular tiger with a single claw on each wrist, the same green hour glass symbol on its chest.

"What the hell is that!?" One of the guards questioned, not even attempting to hide his fear.

"Lemme tell you something armed guards trying to hit Rath with their guns! I'm Rath!" The men tried to hit Rath, but each strike that would have crippled a normal person bounced off of him like it was nothing. "And when you hit Rath, it just makes Rath mad!" Gendo's expression was as stoic as ever as he watched Rath take down his men with ease, a roar all it took for the last guy to run proclaiming his leave from work. Fuyutsuki's face a look of worry as Gendo began to clap, alerting Rath of his presence as he turned around and rushed at him, grabbing him by the throat. "Lemme tell you something Gendo Ikari of NERV, Rath doesn't work for anybody except Rath!"

"Pity. We'll try again in a little while." He managed to squeeze out, Rath giving him a questioning look but before he could do anything he felt a sharp pain in his neck, dropping Gendo to the ground where he landed gracefully on his feet as Rath put a hand to his neck, pulling back a tranquilizer dart.

"What..." Was all that Rath managed to say before he fell to the ground, the darkness creeping into the corners of his eyes as sleep threatened to overtake him. Gendo stepping into his view as his eyes closed along with a blond haired scientist. He should not be affected by this in his alien form, so why?

"Imagine us having to use that so soon." She didn't even seemed concerned at all that she'd just shot him, his closing eyes able to see that she was smiling, "a special formula I invented myself once we learned of your special abilities." Gendo's voice the last thing Rath heard as his eyes finally closed and everything faded to black.

"Take him back to the cell Ritsuko, I've seen enough."

Authors Note: I am new to the writings of work unrelated to pokemon, but I think this one came out pretty well. I mean, it has been a while since I've watched Evangelion so I kept everything pretty vague but gave you enough to understand at least, should things need to be explained further for the plot they will be.

Hard to keep some characters actually in character considering the change in situation, but I actually found Gendo to be the hardest. I think this one went pretty well and I hope to be doing more crossovers in the future once I finish this one. I have enough unfinished works out already... believe me. Just so its clear despite the title I will be following the series rather than the movies for Evangelion, at some point that I haven't really decided yet after episode 8. Then I decided to use Ben 10 Omniverse for the incarnation of Ben 10

Review, favorite, suggest to friends, suggest other crossovers I should do. Whatever. I can't really promise that the suggested crossovers will happen, but who knows what will inspire me... So I won't drag out this authors note and will end it out here, until next time. Later

The thing with the dart taking out someone who is supposedly impervious to them will be explained.
