Disclaimer: I don't own Zone of the Enders, and that's final, I won't write it again for the later chapters.
A/N: it may seem a little short, but I promise it will be longer for the next chapters, so please review and make my day, thanks!
Settling into the cockpit, the white haired figure flexed his fingers and grasped the controls tightly, squeezing them until his knuckles whitened. The thoughts of revenge fueled his mind as he practiced maneuvering the Orbital Frame around the wasteland.
"Dingo Egret." He hissed angrily as he lunged forward and stabbed the boulder in front of him with his pulse blade. Feeling the serrated edge of the blade dig deep into the rock, his mouth curled into a crazy grin. Pulling the controls, he attempted to withdraw the blade from within the rock, suddenly, bolts of black electricity shot across the controls, causing the pilot to jerk backwards and the controls to smoke.
"What the…" he muttered softly as the smoke dispersed to reveal the controls shinning differently, more brightly than ever before, taking hold of the controls once again, Nohman felt the controls vibrate and pulse under his fingers, felt the speed of the frame as he moved forward…
"Sir! Are you alright sir? We felt an enormous energy wave from the direction of your test-field!" a voice came from the control board.
"Everything is fine, its just a metatron leakage." Nohman growled.
"No sir, it wasn't a metatron leakage! The energy levels were much higher than metatron, at least 3 times higher sir!" the soldier replied to the point.
"Interesting…" Nohman whispered, turning to the radio, he barked loudly, "Bring out excavation equipment, dig out the power sources from here!"
"Yes sir!" the soldier replied and hurried away, relaying instructions.
Holding the controls again, Nohman lifted off and opened the throttle, dashing forward towards the base.
As he landed the Orbital Frame into the hidden base, he stepped out and headed for the conference room where all his remaining followers would be gathered. As he pushed open the doors, the scraping of chairs were heard as everyone stood.
"Report." Nohman said as he sat down.
"Sir, we have analyzed the energy source, and discovered that it is a whole new energy source, 3 times more powerful than the most pure metatron we have now."
"So? Is it stable enough to be harnessed and used?" he asked.
"Yes... in theory it is." The scientist said uncertainly.
"I want a precise answer." Nohman said coldly, staring angrily at the scientist who sat down hurriedly.
"We are working on it as soon as possible, but we will attempt to obtain and harness it in 3 days." Another scientist said.
"You better have an answer for me in 3 days then." Nohman said as he left the room.
