The wind literally knocked him back. SirGamer, obviously knowing of this, had sidestepped out of the way of the blast of cool air. He also had to begrudgingly grab Jon's shirt to keep him from falling into the street. The fan shut off as quickly as it had turn on though, and out stepped the legendary, well legendary to Jon, Nigel Uno. Or what he was known in the KND, "Numbah One!?" Jon shouted, causing SirGamer to roll his eyes. "Yes? Oh I'm terribly sorry SirGamer for the fan trap, but who is this... other kid?" Jon slowly crept up from still being on the ground in amazement, and spoke his name in a shaky, yet excited voice. "Well, 'Jon'," Nigel began slowly, taking in the fact that Jon was acting weird. "I suppose someone like you could help in some way or another... hmm.." Numbah One furrowed his brow in thought.
Jon, on the other hand, was beside himself with wonder at seeing a fictional character right in front of him. Feeling the urge to see if he was still awake, he graced the KND operator's boot in a nonchalant way so Numbah One wouldn't notice. It was just a boot. Just a plain, old, normal boot, but this mere grace was like touching an angel to Jon. He still was rubbing his eyes to make sure he wasn't insane. But no. There he was. Standing right in front of Jon. SirGamer, who was eyeballing Jon to see his reaction, dragged him back a bit to keep him from touching Nigel awkwardly anymore. Jon quickly glared at SirGamer, then turned back to actually talk with the operative. "So," Jon began, "What could I do that would best serve the Fusion defense?" He was obviously trying to show that he knew what everything was about in Fusionfall.
Numbah One regained his composure after looking at his boot for some reason, and answered Jon. "We might be able to give you a job, but first we need to know your skill set and your personality. Come in, please." Jon was freaking out to meet the other KND in the treehouse, but was dragged again by SirGamer to follow Numbah One to a testing chamber, a newly implemented feature of the tree house thanks to Numbah 2, the mechanical brains of the operatives living there. Jon was a bit confused about this new test, but was sure his skepticism was nothing as he walked into the door. That is, until the door grinded shut, a furious struggle of metal on metal, and double bolted behind him. As Jon gulped cartoonishly, the speakers crackled with static. "Oh, yes, we are on." Numbah One's voice rang out. "Prepare yourself Jon. Welcome to the testing chambers."
