"You think he'll be okay?" Sakura looked at Samokin, as he walked to the medical area, Syaoran on his back.

            "He'll be fine all we have to do is take him into medical and they'll patch him right up." Samokin's nicer side was making an appearance.

            "So what are we waiting here for?" Sakura still looked worried over Syaoran's blood despite Samokin's reassurances.

            "Nothing let's go!" Gibson had just limped over to the computer console. Then the holograms turned off Samokin looked over to see Rei on the other side of the hanger.

            "I thought it would be nice to turn off the systems for you." Rei said as she caught up with the rest of the 3rd.

            "Thanks Rei" Gibson continued to limp along the hall way slightly behind Samokin, following the signs, "oh next time that sorry bastard is going down, those adamantine plates in his shoulders hurt!"

                                                                        ~|~

            Syaoran's blood loss was fixed in about 2 seconds by the medi-wizards in medical, and the bruises Gibson had sustained were just as easily fixed by the Techs, to the same degree Rei's couple of bumps were just as easily fixed. But now Sakura and Syaoran had nothing to do. Samokin and Gibson had shown them to their room, and left for their quarters leaving Sakura and Syaoran with a huge sum of time in which to do anything they wanted, they just didn't know what they could do or where they could do it.

            Their room was clean, almost too clean, but what really got to Sakura when they saw it was just how boring the 2 rooms really was, there wasn't even a cheep painting on the white walls.

            "So what do you think of this place?" Sakura said lying back on the bed; Syaoran was sitting at her feet cleaning his remaining sword.

            "I really don't know what to think, but for reason I'm not really scared or confused, and the only thing that could do that to me at a time like this is divine intervention" Syaoran sheathed his sword and racked it in the rack Samokin and Gibson had provided for their room. He sat down next to Sakura "what about you?"
            "I'm kind of scared, but it's not the bad kind of scared, it's more like when you go to your first party and you don't know what to do to fit in." Sakura sat up against the wall "I guess I'm more nervous than scared."

            "I understand, but I don't think we have to think about trying to fit in, because there doesn't seem to be a normal here, You saw what Samokin looked like, you saw how Sakuya Picks on Rei, they all act exactly how they want to act. Maybe we should act exactly how we really are, that would probably be the only way to fit in here." Syaoran put his arms around Sakura

            "You're probably right, and besides if we didn't act like our self's Samokin and Gibson would notice" Sakura leaned back a bit more. "At least we get to relax some now and think about all of this."

            Alarms went off, red light filled the room and a intercom from somewhere sounded: "All mission teams report to deployment area 3 this is not a Drill this is the real thing we have a dead world repeat a world has been destroyed WE HAVE A MASS DROP!"

                                                                        ~|~

            Samokin and Gibson had been heading over to their rooms, They were just about to the officers barracks where Samokin and Sakuya resided, Gibson just next door, when the Alarms went off

            "All mission teams report to deployment area 3 this is not a Drill this is the real thing we have a dead world repeat a world has been destroyed WE HAVE A MASS DROP!"

            "Shit!" Samokin Turned down the nearest hall at a run Gibson heading back the way they came, "Get the Noob's we're probably going to need their help"

            "I'm on it brother" Gibson yelled over his shoulder.

                                                                        ~|~

            Sakuya was in the shower when the Alarms went off, so she really didn't hear what the alarm was for, all she heard was Deployment area 3 and not a drill. She jumped out of the shower, not bothering with a towel just using Some of her own magic on her self, the fire spell dried her instantly. As she ran out the bathroom pulling on he Underwear she didn't even bother with looking through the drawers, she just summoned the first thing her mind thought of, a battle suit, a plain dark brown and back jumper, with tans of pockets and holding space, along with thin plates of varying material for armor on certain parts of her body. It came out of the closet, with all of it's gadgets already in it just as she was clasping the from of her bra, the armor in it nearly knocking her over as it hit her, it didn't faze her, she just grabbed it and started to put it on as she just pulled it on her feet fitting snugly in the attached boots on the battle suit she started to button the top portion and exited the room while buttoning the suit still.

                                                                        ~|~

            Rei was slightly more prepared for the alarms then the rest of the team; she was putting on a new plug suit already when the alarms went off, but she wasn't quite ready, see the new plug suits were two pieces, a overall kind of piece and a jacket, when put on it looked almost exactly like the old plug suits, but it was designed for protection. Rei ran out her room while sealing the jacket part to her body.

                                                                        ~|~

            When Gibson came into Sakura and Syaoran's room they were already ready to leave, at least they have the sense to be ready for anything, Gibson took a breath "let's go, follow me." and ran back of the room with Sakura and Syaoran in tow.

            "Where are we going?" Sakura asked from behind Gibson as he tried to open a door with he key card.

            "To the deployment area." Gibson didn't seem in the mood to talk right now, the happy go lucky face that he normally had on his face was gone.

            "We know that but where from there?" Syaoran was slight annoyed by this, after all they hadn't even been there for a day and they were already getting sent out on some mass assignment.

            "Look I don't know all I know is that we're going north, I'm as lost as you, and they haven't given me my gig bag yet." Gibson gat the door open finally "gods I hate that door. Lets go"

            Fine but what's a 'Gig' bag?" Syaoran ran after Gibson.

            "It's a bag that you put in your deployment pod that contains all the items you want when on a long term mission, mine has all my computer stuff, and some spray paint that's about it, Samokin's has food in it, Sakuya's has a brush and some random magic items, you see it's just a bag that you get to keep with you. Random stuff what ever you want, they're made for you as soon as you join the military, and trust me you already have yours in your pods." Gibson opened one more door, which lead outdoors into a huge platform, covered in people scrambling around, from place to place occasionally lights would flash and some of the pods that dotted the platform would launch into the air, and sometimes huge mechs would come and carry some of the pods away. Gibson didn't stop to look around he just kept running till he got to a small cluster of pods.

            "Hey Gibson get the noobs in their pods I'm going for Coms and I'm going to request that Rei get out her Evangelion" Samokin said running away as Sakura and Syaoran arrived.

            "Okay Syaoran you're first, just stand and don't try to move, okay? When you land you'll see your gig bag on the ground grab it and get out of the pod quick they have no armor on them." Gibson Shoved Syaoran into the pod right behind him.

            "Okay I'm ready" Syaoran stood on the feet markers that were on the ground as Gibson put 7 or 8 straps around his body, straps that looked oddly like seat belts. Then Gibson jumped out closed the hatch like door and pressed a # sequence on the keypad out of the pod.

            "Okay Sakura you're next Sakuya and Rei are either in their pod or on Rei's Eva." He pushed into the pod next to Syaoran's and repeated the process that he has with the new Swordsman.

            Samokin ran back he didn't look happy "Fuckers they wont let us deploy Rei's Eva because the fucking 5th has the launch pad right now, damn it we're all launching out our pods today, Rei is taking a pod next the Eva Cage, so we're to grab her Gig bag."

            "Okay I got the noobs strapped in Sakuya's already all set in she was in before I got here, all that's left is us." Gibson ran over to the pod across from Syaoran's pod and reached into the top portion of it pulling out a white and blue backpack, hmm this looks like something Rei would use as a Gig bag. Ohh Samokin why are there 2 new pods in our pod cluster?"

            "I requested a marksman, to join our team, we got 2." Samokin Stepped into his pod inputting a sequence on the keypad, "Strap in, they aren't coming till later, they were in the debriefing room."

            "Okay well lets go." Gibson went into his pod.

                                                                        ~|~

            When The six pods landed they were lucky they landed in the same clearing, but it looked like they were they only troops nearby, there wasn't much noise. Samokin and Gibson were the first to roll out of their pods, swords drawn ready for anything. The noticed that there really wasn't anything in the clearing nobody except.

            "Look a drop, Boy and Girl, but I sense no magic. Wait they are getting magic, that's very weird." Gibson walked over to them and stood over them "hmm well I better figure where we are exactly."

                                                                        ~|~
