"The room was always were I stayed. Always so dark and lonely, I wanted to know what was beyond the thick steel door that kept me imprisoned. I wondered who I would meet and where I could go. I never really knew what was out there beyond what my creator told me before I was locked in here. Before I was ever finished for that matter. Before she placed the AI unit inside my mechanical body, she kept all her experiences and memories within it and gave it to me, but I was completed by someone who saw me as less than what my creator thought of me. He put me in heavy armor, not caring to finish my original body, and forced me to fight and kill for his amusement. Sometimes though, when I sit alone in my cage, I play back the recording of my creator and listen to her soothing voice in my head. Her voice is the only thing that seems to put me to sleep in these horrible and dark nights..."

"Ooh yeah, these gals are lookin nice today..." Tomoki chuckled as he watched a group of girls in a pool not far from his house. With a pair of binoculars, he watched as they laughed and swam around. As he watched, Nymph and Ikaros stood in his doorway with aprons on. Nymph sighed as Ikaros watched with a blank gaze. Nymph, walking silently behind him, rose the pan in her hand over her head and swung it at his. With a loud gong noise, he fell to the floor, gripping the knot on his head; "What the hell was that for?!"

"Breakfast has been ready for almost an hour now and all you care about is stalking girls at the pool." Nymph responded angrily.

Bickering back and forth, Ikaros knelt down next to Tomoki and looked at the bump on his head. Placing her hand on his shoulder, it caused him to look back at her slowly. Ikaros, with a slight blush on her blank face, kissed the knot. With confused gazes, Tomoki and Nymph didn't know how to react for a moment until she fell over laughing. Turning to her angrily, Tomoki began to yell at her that it wasn't funny. With a frown, Ikaros slowly rose and exited the room, picking up her watermelon and began to stroke it. After a moment, Astraea walked past Ikaros angrily, barging into Tomoki's room and beginning to yell about the terrible taste of Nymph's cooking. Ikaros sighed as she began to feel a strange feeling, as if she was almost tired of the day-to-day routine. With a sigh, she took the apron off and walked past Sohara, who was coming through the door as she passed. Trying to greet Ikaros, Sohara took notice of Ikaros's strange behavior and went ot Tomooki's room to ask what was wrong.

"Tomoki! What did you do to Ikaros?" Sohara barged in.

"What do you mean? I didn't do anything! Honest!" He replied

"Well, what's wrong with her? She just walked out of the door without a word."

"I don' know. Maybe she just wanted to take some time off or something; no biggy. And speaking of biggy..."

As Tomoki looked back out the window at the pool, a loud slap and groan could be heard from the home. Ikaros walked down the sidewalk with watermelon in hand as she thought about what to do without Tomoki around. Walking through the park, she sighed as she sat on a park bench. She looked around for anything that she could do. Coming up empty-handed, she noticed a small girl caught her eye; "Hello Alpha!"

"Chaos," Ikaros began, "what are you doing here?"

"I thought I'd try and learn more ablout love by looking for it, though I have come up empty-handed."

"As have I; I want to shake things up today as Master calls it."

"Is that so? I have an idea of something we can do!" Chaos said happily, jumping to her feet.

"What is that?"

"We can go watch the Battle Royal in the Synapse!"

"We can't go there, Chaos, you know that." Ikaros reminded her.

"True, but we could-"

Suddenly, a large explosion caused them to jump as something had landed from the sky bot too far away from them. Quickly flying over, they waited for the smoke to clear. When it was gone, they were caught off guard to see a strange humanoid figure at the bottom of the crater. It seemed to be a giant and bulky suit of armor made of rusted iron and copper, as well as a strange material that resembled that of an old diving suit's. They hurried to the object's sides, studying the almost statue-like position it resided in. Noticing a button on it's helmet, Ikaros pushed it, causing it's limbs to fall flat to the ground. Taking a breath, she shared a gaze of confusion and worry with Chaos as a strange red light began to emit from the visor of the suit. Slowly, it seemed to move on it's own as it sat up and rubbed it's helmet. A dry male's groan came from the suit as it stood and studied the girls. Standing as well, the two girls watched as the suit stood motionless for a moment, then turned to Ikaros.

"Is, is this the outside?" It asked in the same dry tone.

"Yes, sir, it is." Ikaros replied, studying the suit again.

"It's just like Creator said it was." It said, looking around and crawling out of the crater.

"Who are you?" Chaos asked as the girls followed it.

"Me? I believe I am 'Son', as Creator referred to me."

"Sun; what a lovely name!" Chaos laughed politely as she circled around the suit; "Nice to meet you Sun!"

Shaking her extended hand, Sun then turned to look at Ikaros, who couldn't seem to take her eye off of him. She couldn't help but wonder what was under the suit; this almost seemed to annoy her as she tried to figure out who, or what, Sun was.

'Is he an Angeloid? If he is, then why does he seem so dated and why is he a he?"
