"Out like a light sir."
"Good. Keep examining him, if what the news reports say are true, he can be a valuable ally against the Angels."
A doctor went to the bed in the NERV infirmary and checked over a boy in triangular yellow chest armor and white pants. The brain pattern was unusual for a human, it spiked in the middle. The armor he was wearing was not out of date, but rather out of the world. It seemed to be nothing but armor they could possible apply to the EVAs but it seemed 'different'.
"Hmmmm..." The doctor reached out to try to remove the armor, and...
"Gack!" Whumpf!
Let's just say the doctor's the one unconcious now... with some short breath... and an oxygen mask attached to his mouth.
Xack studied the map of NERV throughly, tracing a route with his finger.
-----------------------
Meanwhile, in the Evangelion launch bay, the High-Psygon's cockpit was being examined by Ritsuko.
"How does he pilot this thing?" Akagi thought out loud to herself.
The cockpit didn't look quite anything she had expected, it seemed pretty empty. All there was inside was a chair, vidscreen, and a few joysticks and buttons, nothing else seemed to exist. She poked at a few of the buttons but got no results from them, until her head accidentally bumped a lever that hung overhead in the cramped (to her) area. Walls started flipping open, presenting manual controls that covered almost the entire room!
--------------------------
Zing! Tink!
Xack's sandals squeaked as he turned around to face his assailant.
A purple/ raven haired woman wearing a red beret stood in front of the doorway of the infirmary.
"Sit down or I'll shoot." ordered the woman.
"Hmmm... And you are?" The green eyed teen asked.
"Captain Katsuragi, Misato. It was the EVA pilots that dragged you out of the field."
"I appreciate the help of these EVAs, I'll have to thank them sometime. But there are other matters for me to attend to, so if you'll excuse me. "
Zing! Tink!
The teen didn't even flinch. "Let me guess... I'm needed for interrogation by your commander?"
"Not the commander, but someone else."
"Right then, lead the way."
---------------------
Xack sat in a chair in a rather bleak room crossing his arms and (how do I put this?) overlapping (?) his legs. He stared straight ahead to a wall, as if he was expecting something.
NERV staff looked at him intently behind a bullet-proof window, watching him blink, stare, shift a little, and cough.
Misato stood by and gave the order, "Send in the first child."
The door slid open when Rei swiped her ID card in the slot, and closed after she entered.
Xack (despite his determined and hard nature) pulled up his chair and offered it to Rei.
She just gave that cold blank stare.
Outside, Maya watched the 'gentleman', who was still standing, fold his arms and lean against a wall.
There was utter silence for several minutes, as both Rei and Xack were practically in a staring contest with each other. Both seemed quite similar in ways, but actually they were completely different.
Neither person made a movement, but unknowst to Rei, but seen by the surveillance room, Xack appeared to be giving Rei the once over.
Asuka was inside the camera room and spotted the shifting eyes in the shadows and thought to herself, {Great, another guy after Wondergirl.}
She threw up her arms in frustration and left for Sync Tests.
Xack's eyes flicked around in the shadows, examining Ayanami's aura through and through. {A synthetic aura... Interesting. But, this person... somehow there's something there, something real... Might as well talk now.}
"Er-"
Bang!
"Ah crud..."
The entire surveillance room recoiled in shock. This was not in the orders Fuyutsuki gave them. But what was even more surprising was when the boy got up clutching a dent in his armor.
"Okay... pant, pant, you pierced my skin a little. That won't kill me."
Still clutching the wound, a veil appeared around him and protected his body from the next 2 bullets.
"Why do you shoot?"
"I was given orders by Commander Ikari." Rei said in her usual bland tone.
Xack frowned and began to send a message telepathically to a comrade that was grocery shopping in the city.
-----------------
15 minutes later...
"Why did we have to leave him there? It would have been easy enough holding those Mobile Suits at bay while a dropship could drop a tow cable to get him back."
"Artanis, you weren't the one fighting them, remember? From that first impression, it seems who or whatevers piloting that red Mobile Suit policy is shoot first, ask questions later. Couldn't even dent them or get close for that matter."
Duo and Artanis presented a debriefing to each other in the base's lounge over a snack, arguing what the hell went on out there and why they couldn't retrieve Xack.
"Answers will come in due time Pilot Maxwell, in the mean time we'll have to hope that the Commander gets here safely."
A pair of shoes clacked along the floor rapidly and screeched to a halt in front of the lounge.
A marine popped his head in the door and quickly said, "Hey, you two, we just got a transmission from the commander, said something about sending Dark-Psygon. And since you," the marine pointed at Artanis, "and Raynor are the only two besides Gerad and Keagan with authorization to release it, you need to head down to the launch bay. Here are the coordinates."
The marine did a final salute, handed a disk to Artanis' fingers, and left without another word.
Duo kicked back in a chair and calmly said in his laid back way, "Well, at least we know he's alive now. Your move Arty."
"Stop calling me that!"
"Whatever."
-----------------------------------
Xack continued running around the room dodging the bullets that Rei kept shooting him with,
"Damn! Rei, couldn't we just talk like civilized people?"
"If I am ordered to, I will."
An explosion rattled the complex as a fist appeared in the ceiling. Xack grinned, looked up, and began to float toward the fist.
Rei unloaded the last of the rounds into the shield around Xack and just stared without putting the gun down.
#ALL EVANGELION PILOTS, REPORT TO THE LAUNCH BAY!!!#
---------------------------------
In the launch bay...
"EVA 00, ready..."
"Unit 01 awaiting orders."
"Evangelion Unit 02, ready for battle!"
"Lauch!"
The Evas all lauched to recapture the pilot.
Misato gave Shinji a few words of warning, informing him that EVA 01 was not fully repaired yet, as the lava might still be in the systems.
Asuka being the most headstrong, charged right into the fray.
"Got you now."
Suddenly, panic ensued within NERV.
The High-Psygon had raised it's head and powered up, all systems were activating and was breaking off it's restraints. All with Ritsuko Akagi still inside...
Ritsuko found herself trapped within the bot since the entry way was now sealed shut, she had no choice but to wait it out.
-----------------------
"Yes! High-Psygon is on the way!"
Then Xack noticed the bio-scan confirmed a human being inside.
"Shit, there's no way I'm gonna risk a human life in the Archgon warp. I'll just have to retreat, but I'll have to- What the?! No... it couldn't be. Langley? In that red Mobile Suit? And the others? Mother of God... There's Rei in that thing? And another boy? And what are these 3 other auras I'm sensing? They seem to be the Mobile Suits themselves..."
Xack hung his head in deep thought, then decided to just kick in the thrusters for speed and retreat.
"02, you're the only one in range of that thing, fire your Positron Rifle."
Eva 02 raised the rifle and fully charged it, she targeted the High-Psygon carefully.
"WAIT!"
Too late the rifle fired, shields were both down on the Psygons, which meant that Akagi was vulnerable to attack.
The Dark-Psygon threw itself in front of the High-Psygon's back and took the shot in the chest.
The external speakers of the Dark-Psygon faintly said, "There's... a... female... inside... it... ugh... ..."
It plummeted to the ground, it's midsection smoking, while the High-Psygon continued to retreat toward the outskirts of the city.
--------------------------------
Beep! beep! beep! "Captain, that blue and black thing was right! There's a confirmed human signature in the yellow one, and it's Ritsuko!"
"Agh! Too late to get it now. Even if, it would be too risky... Bring the black and blue one here though. Erm, with your authorization Sub- Commander."
"Permission granted."
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------
That's it for this chapter, hope it's enough for a decent one.
And I'll get to the slow-moving thing in a couple chaps.
