"Hey, Zero! The new candidates from Zion are here, wanna go see 'em?" A repairer asked her candidate. The brown-haired boy nodded and followed blindly after her as she started into the Cargo Bay. "They should be arriving any minute now." The repairer, a girl with large, twitching...(perverts) cat ears said as she stared out the window at teh green planet known as Zion. Suddenly, a large spaceship descended into the Launch Pad and the hatch opened, revealing three boys and a tall, flustered-looking woman. The repairer smacked her candidate on the back of the head and yelled at him to go find someone named Azuma. The boy cringed, waved at the new candidates and rushed off. The repairer remained to welcome the new boys and their instructor.
Before long, Zero Enna had returned with Azuma Hijikata, G.O.A.'s top instructor. The woman blew her hair out of her eyes and stepped forward. "Instructor number 157: Akari Hiratashi. Candidates names are Vyper Mitgard: Number 17, level 4; Charcoal Pandoræm: Number 18, level 4; and Toki Laties: Number 19, level 7." She said, motioning to her students. Charcoal yawned and strected, leaing back so that his black Sex Pistols shirt rode up to show off a well-built, ash-colored stomach. He leaned back so far that his hand touched the floor and he let his legs follow until he was standing upside down and doing the splits all at the same time. His ripped, blue jeans were twisted halfway around when the soles of his black Converse sneakers touched the ground, and his waist-length black hair was mussed. He stood upright, got dizzy, and when he fell down, started to adjust his clothes and attempt to get his head on straight before standing again. He stood, re-adjusted his fingerless gloves and resumed his position; leaning on Toki's shoulder with his arms around his neck. He yawned again as he closed his eyes and adopted the same stance as Vyper. Soon, they looked like bookends that were merely there to hold Toki upright. Toki, however, looked more tired than either of them, but remained alert until he was dismissed.
Vyper leaned against Toki's shoulder and closed his cat-like green eyes, lizard's tail twitching with utter boredom. He fiddled with his necklace, a halfmoon-shaped charm on a black chain, and plucked at Toki's ACDC shirt with one hand while he fingered the rough-hewn strands of hemp that hung from his neck with the other. Toki simply closed his eyes in boredom and annoyance and eventually, Vyper stopped. Azuma approached the boys while Charcoal rested his head on Toki's other shoulder and wrapped his lean arms around the elder boy's waist, grumbling about no sleep. Azuma flicked his cigarrete ash into the air, muttered something about having fags in his school and turned his growling into a coughing fit while he extented his haid to the instructor. Toki heard this rather crude comment but chose to disregard it, being too dizzy from jet lag and the added weight of his fellow candidates.
"Well, shall we find you three a dorm room?" Azuma asked, clapping Toki on the back. Vyper cracked open one eye, yawned and put his arms around Toki's waist, turning his head to lay his cheek on Toki's shoulder. "Are you three brothers?" Azuma asked. Toki shook his head. "No, we're closer than brothers. We've grown up together. They're just tired, not affectionate." He said, putting one arm around each of the boys' necks. "Well, there's a dorm open near candidats number 87, 88 and 89's that you're welcome to. Wait here and I'll go get someone to help you find it." "Don't need one." Toki said simply and then began imitating Azuma with excellent precision. "Go down this hall, then turn left, go down the next two halls, turn right, ninth door on the right. The door should say: Reserved for Numbers 90, 91, 92, and 93. Am I correct?" He asked, staring blankly. Azuma opened his mouth to speak but Toki held up one hand. "My exax's are telepathy, telkinesis, pyrokinesis, clairvoyance, precognition, recognition, and divination. I'm what you'd call an Oracle." He said, grey eyes flashing. Azuma put one hand behind his head and prepared to speak but Toki cut him off. "Well, shit man! You could have fucking told me that before I made a complete fool of myself." He said, touching Vyper's side. "Let's go, Vyper, Charcoal. It's been a long ride, so we'd better get some sleep." He said, motioning for the others to follow. Azuma took three steps forward and opened his mouth. "Our roommate, Van Flyheight, will be coming back from Zion in three hours and will want to lie down so make a space for him." Toki called out. Azuma shook his head. "Never gonna be able to teach that kid anything if he knows what I'm gonna say before I say it." He mumbled as he walked back to his class.
