Same drill as last time, I don't own this stuff yada yada yada.
Kim walked out of the room, or lab, whatever, where a woman, about 5'5", with black hair, brown eyes which were behind thick glasses; also wearing a lab coat was waiting. "How is the specimen? I assume he has awoken."
"There isn't anyone important around, you can call him by his name, and he is fine, from the looks of it he just barely woke up before I walked in. I am guessing that he will be able to move around shortly. He doesn't seem to remember anything though; perhaps it is better that way…" he trailed off as he hard footsteps coming from around the corner and down the hall. "…Must be the general, Aerie, will you inform him that Ryu, has awoken while I get him his clothes?"
"Not a problem, you had best hurry or he might think that you are avoiding him." Kim hurries off in the opposite direction, while Aerie pretends to just be coming out of the lab area as General Yoshimo walks around the corner. The General is large…about 6'9" wild guess about 270lbs, dark skin, black hair down to his shoulders, real muscular build, a scar across his nose and above his left eye, which was green, and menacing.
"How is the boy?! Is he awake? We need him to pilot that new gear! Well?!"
"Now now sir, he only just woke up, he isn't even clothed yet. I'm sure the new gear can wait until he is at least clothed and cleaned.'
"I suppose, he had better be more useful than that piece of trash was. Bah! To think that trash passed me in the ranks!"
"You mean Ramsus? Of course this boy will be more useful, Ramsus was made with Cain in mind, he was modeled after the -Contact-."
"Does he suspect?" asked the General
"Not a thing, if this boy doesn't have any problems…." She cut herself off as Kim came back with some clothes, and is heading into the lab place when the general stopped him.
"What might those be? And where are you taking them?"
"These? These are commonly known as clothes, and I am taking them to the naked boy in here."
"Don't get smart with me doc, I might decide I need your funding elsewhere." The general said as he smirked. Kim just glared at him for a minute then continued into the room.
Ryu just laid there thinking, trying to remember how he got here…or where HERE was for that matter. Just then he hears the door at the far end of the room open and close. He tried to sit up and see exactly what he was laying on and who was coming.
This time he found it much easier to move and, with some effort, sat up and looked around. He was in what he assumed used to be one of the tubes that the other things are in, except this one is bigger, probably to accommodate for his size. He was about 6'6" 240lbs, silver hair, in the back his hair hung to a little below his shoulders. His eyes were sapphire blue, and he had real light colored skin.
All of a sudden Kim appeared out of nowhere, but this time he was closer so that Ryu could get a better look at him. He had brown hair, pretty dark, tied back into a damn long ponytail, with a few strands of hair hanging down in front of his face. "What do you want?" asked Ryu
"I see you can move, Ryu. I brought you some clothes, but sorry, you need a bath first. Come with me."
"Wha…hey! Whose Ryu?"
"You, sorry I forgot that your memory is still a little messed up. Come, this way." Kim headed off towards a door to the left of where Ryu was.
Ryu struggled but managed to stand up, but started to fall until Kim caught him. "Guess your muscles are still a little unused eh?" he laughed, but Ryu was still trying to stand up. After a short while they managed to get to the washroom and get Ryu cleaned up.
"Here, put these on." Kim handed him the clothes that he grabbed. "I got them from a friend who has a son that is around your age…your…16 right?"
"Whatever…" Ryu grabbed the clothes and started putting them on. There was a pair of somewhat baggy black pants, a black shirt, and a long black trench coat.
"Well…looks like they're about the right size, we need to cut your hair though."
"Leave my hair alone. I just need something to tie it back with."
"We can get that later right now we need to get you walking a little better."
"I can walk alright, just give me a minute to adjust, and while doing so how about you tell me what I am doing here."
Kim sighed and thought for a moment. *maybe if I just don't tell him EVERYTHING it'd be okay.* "um…our military wants you to test out one of our new gears, the one thing that helped them go before was destroyed, and we have been working on how to get one to go without it."
"So you are going to put me in that thing to see if it works instead of one of your own men, no thank you; I'd rather not."
"Several of our men have tried riding in it, but they couldn't take the physical or mental strain that it put on them."
"and you think that I will be able to? You think that a teenager is going to be able to take more strain than grown men?! Are you people insane?"
"Yes we do, see you have been enhanced with nanomachines, you see…well, I cant really explain it to you, its not that I don't want to, its just that we would both get in trouble."
"Yea, right, I'm supposed to believe that? Your funny. I still want to know what those things in the other tubes in there were, care to tell, or will 'we both get in trouble' if you tell me?"
"You guessed it."
"Figures." Ryu was starting to get used to walking again and could walk fairly well again. Kim guided Ryu to the door where he had left Aerie and the good General. They were still there, but seemed to stop talking right when the door opened.
"Is that him? Looks weak to me." The General said with a smirk on his face as he looked Ryu over.
"What?!" Ryu lunged at him but was stopped by Kim's arm "Who you callin weak?! I'll beat the shit outta you!" Kim had to use both arms to hold Ryu back but started getting pushed anyway.
"Guess not, hope your as tough in that gear, kid." Ryu stopped pushing forward as he heard the General say this, then he looked at Aerie, who was in turn staring right at him in wonder.
*he just barely started moving and he can already push Kim like that?* she thought to herself, only to be brought back to reality by Kim shaking her lightly.
"You there? Wake up." Kim looked concerned as he look at her blank stare.
"Wha…What, what? S-s-sorry about that." Ryu looked at her strangely before returning his gaze to the general who was laughing.
"What's this gear you've been talking about?"
"ahh….right to business, I like that. It's the first gear made since the Zohar modifier was destroyed that has been able to move, other than our enemy's gear. So we took all the data that we had gotten from that gear and made a new one, so as you could have guessed they look similar. But my men are too weak to pilot it."
"So I heard. So why don't you pilot it?" The general looked like that was meant as an insult.
He thought for a moment. Ryu thought he was trying to think up an excuse and wasn't far from right. "The Emperor wont let me pilot a gear that isn't completely safe for use by someone like me."
"Do you always bend over when the Emperor tells you to?" this didn't sit well with Mr. High and Mighty General Yoshimo but Kim was there to save Ryu before he got into a fight with him by taking his arm and dragging him away from the General.
"Come on, before you get yourself killed."
"What? I could have taken him. Who is this 'Emperor' guy anyway, and where are we going?!"
"The Emperor's name is Krelian, and we are going to the gear hangar to set the gear up to your specifications."
"Who is the 'enemy' that Mr. 'I always do what I'm told' was talking about?"
"His name, from what I understand, is Fei Fong Wong." They arrived at the gear hangar, Ryu looked around but only saw one gear, which he assumed was the one he was going to be piloting. (if you want a visual think of Xenogears and make it black)
"What is it with you people and putting me in black?!"
"With the clothes, its all the kid had, and I didn't pick out the color if the gear, so leave me alone about it!"
There! Was that longer? Yea I think it was, how was it? Is the Emperor REALLY Krelian? Ya think the General is going to kill Ryu before the day is over? FIND OUT NEXT! SAME BAT TIME! SAME BAT CHANNEL!
