Launch 006
Yawning, Shinji stretched as he sat up and smiled down at little Keita who was tucked into his side, still fast asleep, not at all disturbed from the movements the elder was making. Looking up he gazed around the room they were sleeping in before carefully getting out of 'bed'. They had managed to find an abandoned house, making it secure before resting up. The whole house was a can of dust, must and grim. The windows were shattered, letting in the cold air, walls were water damaged, and floors were caving in. He had nearly fallen through the floor when they were climbing the stairs.
Looking out of the window he shuddered at the sight of the crimson sky, no sign of the sun…and the moon…its destroyed remnants hanging above, a saddening but beautiful sight and reminder. The result of the First Impact, once whole now floating fragments of shattered diamond in the sky. Looking at his watch he saw that it was 7:57 in the morning, not that that mattered here, it looked at same as it did when they arrived.
Walking around he gathered what little belongings they had taken out of their packs and put them away. Looking over to the makeshift bed Kaworu had made for himself he saw that it was empty. Frowning he looked to see that the door of the room was indeed open and that noises were coming from downstairs, not the noises a monster would make, thank god.
Standing he walked out of the room and headed down stairs, careful of the holes in the flooring. When he reached the main floor he walked into the living room to find Kaworu sitting on the floor, the guns they had taken from the soldiers at the train all thrown around, ammunition and some knives.
"Morning, Shinji-kun" said the white haired boy without turning to him.
"Morning" whispered the brunette.
"We should probably leave soon, ANGELs will be coming soon enough."
Shinji watched as the boy reloaded a handgun before setting it down. He then stood and faced the brunette.
"We may also want to change. I found some old clothes that may fit us, apparently the family before us had some teenage sons and a younger boy."
Shinji shivered at that thought, looking over to the fireplace in the room where frames lined the top, there were also pictures all along the walls. They were a family of five, a young boy of Keita's age clinging to his father happily as the man held him on top of his shoulders, the mom in between her two eldest sons, both twins and dressed in their school uniforms, diplomas in hand.
He had to wonder where the family was now, had they gotten out when Tokyo had been evacuated or had they died during the ANGEL invasion?
Remembering what his uncle had told him, Shinji had to also wonder about his mother, how she had felt being caught in the attack, scared and alone, had she stayed strong or given up hope and accepted her fate at death? How had father felt, knowing his wife and unborn child were caught in the attack, the same perhaps? He even wondered on his father's whereabouts, and if he was even out here somewhere, did he even care about Shinji at all when he had not been in his life this whole time?
"Shinji?"
Shaking himself from his thoughts he looked up to find Kaworu no longer in front of him, Turning he nearly jumping back in alarm as the white haired boy was standing behind him, holding out a set of clothes for him, two other sets in his hand, one smaller than the other.
"Th-thank you."
He took them and saw that the outfit consisted of a gray t-shirt, a black leather jacket, and black/grayish flared jeans. Kaworu's was a pair of blue jean and a black dress shirt, and a brown jacket. Keita's consisted of some brown shorts a white t-shirt and blue hoodie jacket.
Shinji went upstairs with his and Keita's clothes while Kaworu remained downstairs. Once he got to the room he found Keita, to his shock, crying in the bed. Rushing over he set the clothes down and gathered the boy in his arms, shushing him.
"I th-thought y-you left like momma an-and daddy!" cried the boy.
"Shhh, it's okay, we didn't leave you, shhhhh."
"Yo-you won't lea-leave me wi-will you Shinji-nii?"
Shinji looked down to see Keita looking up at him with hopeful eyes, he smiled and shook his head.
"Nope, we're never leaving you behind, k?"
Keita smiled and nodded, "It's a promise."
Swearing on it the two quickly got dressed, finishing just as Kaworu knocked on the door before walking in with permission, dressed as well.
"Ready? We'll need to find an acquaintance of Dr. Ikari's before 'nightfall'."
"My father's?" asked Shinji.
"Yes. He's the only one who possibly knows the whereabouts of Dr. Ikari."
"Right" whispered Shinji.
Kaworu nodded as he grabbed their bags and went downstairs. Shinji gathered Keita in his arms, who was holding his teddy to him. They left the house and began their walk. Cars were too dangerous to travel in, that would be possible only if they even found one that worked. The whole city had been abandoned years ago. There was as much a chance of that as finding life here.
• • •
"Any good news this time?"
"No Major, they're still off the grid."
"Damn!"
Misato slammed her hand down on the console before her, glaring at the large screen suspended above. All around her men and women worked at their stations. Next to her Ritsuko stood without a word, a clipboard held in front of her in one hand as she wrote on it with the other.
Misato sighed, "Any news on the prisoner?"
"Information is still being withheld, he's got some fight in him. Looks like we won't get anything on Ikari however, the man is a ghost, even to his closest companions" said Ritsuko.
"And SEELE?"
"Breathing down our necks."
Misato cursed, "How about 004?" she growled out.
"Good news is she's recovering."
She heard a but.
"But," there it was, "The shot to her kneecap damaged her greatly. There's little chance of it recovering right away."
"Fuck! What does that leave us with then?"
Ritsuko looked up from her clipboard to the other woman, "…we could use…" she trailed off.
"Hell no…" snarled Misato.
"It's the only chance, you know they'll want her on the field eventually."
"I am not doing it!"
Ritsuko sighed at the other's stubbornness, "There's also…the test subjects…."
Misato seemed to lose all manner of breathing, slowly turning to the blonde woman who refused to look at her.
"They're functional?"
"Only at 63%, but with little time I could-"
"Do it, they're your babies right, and children know what they're mother want."
Ritsuko grinned, chuckling, "Oh, they're not mine" she said as she walked out of the room.
Her footsteps echoed as she walked down hall after hall. Entering an elevator she scanned her identification card through the card scanner and entered had password before pressing the floor she wanted. Ounce at the area she watched the doors open to a dark hall. She reached into her lab coat and removed a handkerchief from the pocket and held it to her mouth to block out some of the putrid smell coming from down the hall.
As she walked forward lights automatically came on from the ceiling, the hall still dark, but it was light enough for her to see at least where she was going. Coming up to a door, she once again scanned her card and entered her password. Once she gained access the door slid open, allowing her entrance.
This room was glowing of orange, the room black, all around test tubes were a glow with orange water, and within black creatures with silver hair and some grotesque beings.
She kept walking not looking at them as she made her way to the largest of the tubes located in the far back of the chamber, stepping onto a bridge that led to it, a large crater was below with the bodies of perished remains of late test subjects, flies circling the disgusting mess, feasting on the rotting flesh.
Finally making it to her destination she took the cloth from her mouth and smiled at the large test tube, one of which glowed a bluish white color.
"Lilith, I have need for you chosen."
• • •
"Better?"
"Mhm" Keita happily exclaimed as he handed the water bottle to Shinji.
The brunette took it and put it back into his pack. They were taking a rest, one of many, after walking for some time, they had just made it out of city limits, which proved to be a hazard. The area outside of the city had become barren, with little to no sign of human construction anywhere. Because the moon was the only thing that reached them, it had been cold the entire trip, and the temperature was slowly decreasing as 'night' fell.
Shinji looked over to Kaworu who was looking out over the land, "How far now!?"
Kaworu stared for a bit more before turning, "Not long now, Shinji-kun, but we need to hurry" he said as he walked over to them, once in front of them he picked up Keita, "I'll carry him the rest of the way."
Shinji nodded and they continued on.
Their original pace was quickened now, a sign that taking another break was out of the question.
"There!"
Shinji looked up to find several long yards away were some huts that looked to be made of scraps found lying around. Had life really remained in Tokyo 001? But that had to be impossible, with the lack of food and the threat of the ANGELs there was no way.
Suddenly the ground underneath them began to shake, causing them to stop and look down. Kaworu cursed before setting Keita in Shinji's arms. The shaking was slowly building up the ground beneath their feet cracking until it completely caved in, a grotesque beast raising into the air. It was like a long centipede with thousands of eyes and legs, a gaping mouth full of shark teeth, screeching up into the sky before gazing down at them.
"An ANGEL!"
The beast screeched ounce more before diving at them. Crying out Shinji jumped out of the way, Kaworu doing the same the opposite direction. Landing on the ground Shinji looked up to see the long ANGELs body slither into the ground.
Keita was crying against his chest, refusing to look up.
"Where is it?" asked Shinji as he looked around, it had become quiet again.
Kaworu looked around with a glare, trying to pinpoint where it was coming from. He then gasped turning sharply to Shinji who had stood up.
"SHINJI DON"T MOVE!"
"Wha-?"
The ground beneath him suddenly began to rumble, and before he knew it he was being tossed high into the air, the ANGEL right underneath him, hissing as it opened its mouth waiting for him and Keita to stop their ascension and land in his mouth of sharp crooked teeth.
The two screamed as they began to drop, both closing their eyes and clinging to one another. At the very last second two things happened. Kaworu appeared out of nowhere and caught them both before flinging them all out of harm's way, and then there was an explosion.
Once they were on the ground all three turned to find shouts of men on the hill side by the huts. They were cheering as some men unleashed some explosives from what looked like makeshift bazookas The creature screeched as it was hit countless times before at last one more hit to its head it tumbled down dead.
"Shinji, Shinji" mumbled Keita as he clung to the boy.
"We're safe Keita, Kaworu came for us, we're safe."
Hearing this, Keita looked up and turned to Kaworu, throwing himself on the white haired teen, who looked surprised, "Thank you Kaworu-nii!"
Kaworu looked stunned for a bit more before smiling and returning the hug. They stood seconds later to find the men heading their way by foot. Once they got there a lot of them, with sleds and machetes began hacking at the beast and taking its flesh off of it, loading it onto the sleds. Three men came over their way.
"Who are you" demanded a rough looking gray haired man who stood in front of the other two, obviously the leader.
The three were quiet, looking at the blades the three carried like the other men. Kaworu then stepped forward.
"My name is Kaworu, this is Shinji and Keita."
"Thank you for your help" said Shinji, Keita nodding along with his words.
"Hmph, it was all for the meat really, you were some good bait. You must be new here, this sand creature's good at hearing things on the surface. All that moving alerted it to some grub."
"Still, thank you. By chance do you know a Ryoji Kaji?"
The man looked at him with surprise, "Kaji, yeah, know 'em. You an acquaintance?"
"He has some information we need."
The man eyed them for a bit before sighing and turning around, "Help with the load, Kaji just got back from Tokyo 002."
Shinji was shocked, "He did, how?"
"Kaji's a jack of all trades, that one, gets us the medical supplies we need, weapons and anything else handy. Saved the lot of us he has, whatever information he got, it must be big, especially for some kids like you."
Shinji and Kaworu looked at one another before going with the men to help them out, when done they headed towards the village of huts. Once there they were greeted by the small circle of villagers, many kids were cheering when the saw the ANGEL meat on the sleds, while women went to help unload the 'cargo.'
The man, whom they learned was named Takasato Tenma, greeted a woman with a kiss and a small girl with a giant bear hug, his family. Setting the child on the ground he turned to Kaworu and Shinji.
"My wife Seika, and my daughter Serah" he said before turning to the blonde haired woman, "Seika, could you look after the boy while I take these two to Kaji?"
Seika smiled with a nod and walked over with Serah, smiling at Shinji who smiled back.
"Keita, want to go play while Kaworu and I go talk, I promise we'll be right back."
Keita looked uncertain but looking at Serah's smile and Seika's motherly grin got him to jump down from Shinji's arms and head over to them, his teddy clutched tightly to him.
"This way" said Tenma as he walked ahead.
Kaworu and Shinji followed him through the village, the man occasionally calling out a greeting to other villagers. They finally came to a hut at the back of the village and walked in. Shinji darting a quick look at the Humvee made up of different parts parked in front of the house.
The area was a mess, it opened up into a living space first, a couch with a coffee table in front, papers thrown everywhere. There was trash piled in the middle and corners of the room. A desk in one of the corners had a candle lit with more papers everywhere, a map on the wall with tacks marking certain areas, there was also an old radio and medical supplies.
"Kaji!"
There was a sudden yelp in the back, surprising Shinji. They all looked to the doorway that led into another room where the kitchen obviously was as the smell of something burning filled the air.
"What are you trying to do, burn the mother fucking place to ashes!" yelled Tenma.
"Oh hardy har har!" yelled another male.
There were some coughs as Tenma opened the front door to let out the smell and smoke. From the kitchen came a man with brunette shoulder length hair tied up in a ponytail. His face was covered in a small beard just growing in. He was dressed in a dirty dress shirt and brown pants, feet covered by some boots.
"Tenma? Why are you here?" he asked as he walked over to them.
"These kids are from down below" Kaji stopped in his tracks and stared at them, "They said they had to speak to you, said it's urgent."
The man, Kaji looked at them a bit more before eying Shinji. He frowned before getting closer to the brunette teen who gasped, backing away a few steps. The man was in his face now, looking him over with a glare before his face relaxed and a smile formed on his lips.
"They're good, Tenma. Save me some meat, will you?"
Tenma grinned, "I got 'ya" with that he left.
Kaji turned from the two teens and sat down on the old torn couch with a sigh before looking up at them with a grin.
"So, Ikari was right, he told me his son would pay me a visit."
Shinji started, "You…you know my father?"
Kaji laughed, "Know 'em, why I was his personal assistant before all hell broke loose."
He reached over to the bottle of liquor on the table and a shot glass, filling it up. He offered the bottle to the boys who shook their heads to which he shrugged and took the shot. Kaji bit back a hiss at the strong kick of the liquor before filling 'er up again.
"So, what does Ikari's son want with me?"
"The labs location."
Kaji stopped pouring his third glass midway, slowly turning to the silverette.
"The labs…now that brings back memories."
Shinji looked at them both puzzled, "What labs?"
Kaji and Kaworu stared at one another before the elder turned to Shinji, "The labs where a hideout for your father after he went on the run from SEELE and NERV. He was looking into the ANGELs, Lilith and Adam and their connection to the First and Second Impacts. He was even researching how to put a stop to the Third Impact."
Shinji frowned, "Uncle mentioned that before, having to do with Lilith."
"That's Right" said Kaji, swallowing another shot, "She plans to end this world, and every human on it."
An uneasy aura blanketed the room as silence washed over them.
"But why?" Shinji asked hesitantly.
"No one knows, as far as we do know, Adam fell to earth which caused the First Impact, the Second Impact was caused by unknown circumstances. Lilith had apparently descended with Adam and took on another form."
"Another form?"
Kaji took another drink, "We don't know what it is…but reports say…it's human."
"AHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
The three men turned at the scream coming from outside, conversation put to an abrupt end, and quickly rushed out of the hut and running through the village until they came to a group of kids that were looking at something on the ground and appeared scared, there were some adults there to, looking unsure of what to do, their fear evident on their faces as well.
Shinji ran over ahead of Kaworu and Kaji and gasped at the sight of Keita on the ground, gasping for breath as he clutched at his throat, struggling to cry out in pain, black blotches slowly creeping up into his face, his hair lightening in color.
"Keita!"
He knelt down and took the boy into his arms, trying to comfort the boy but the child didn't even pay attention to him.
"Kaworu!"
The silverette shook his head when the brunette turned to him, seeing the stigma was covering the child even more than before. It was only a matter of time before it would take him completely.
Shinji cursed under his breath, trying to keep a grasp on the boy who struggled in his arms. Looking down he saw Keita's eyes slowing go black, both eyes becoming nothing but black marbles.
"Keita, come on buddy, hang in there…we promised not to leave you…that means you can't leave us…."
Keita then screeched, his teeth sharpening into fangs.
"KEITA!"
A light suddenly burst out over them all, blinding them. Kaworu gasped at the power coming from Shinji, watching as the teen held Keita to him, his hair slowly going white, orange skeletal wings sprouting from his back. He moaned as the other's power washed over him, biting his bottom lip as he tried to reign in his own powers that were already sparking upon contact with Shinji's.
Kaji looked awed by the other teen, whispering to himself.
The light receded to nothing in a blink of an eye a second later. Everyone, confused and frightened looked to the two to see Keita sleeping against Shinji's chest, the brunette looking exhausted.
Kaji looked at the villagers and saw them back away from the two a bit, parents clutching their children to them and sighed.
"Grab them and come on, you guys can stay with me tonight."
Kaworu nodded and walked over to the two as Kaji headed over to get them some dinner. After Shinji and Keita were in Kaji's hut Kaworu took the moment to calm himself down, standing outside. The power Shinji possessed had nearly caused him to take the boy then and there. The feel of it caressing him, calling to him to mold his own with it drew him over the edge.
Blinking his eyes, which were bright crimson with pupils slit, he gazed up at the sky and sighed when they finally went back to normal, the lust and desire in them sinking back into nothingness. He then reached behind him and rubbed his right shoulder, his back aching with a dull pain that spiked in pulsing shots in his shoulder blades. He grunted as something appeared to move under his skin, biting back a moan of pain.
"So, you're the other one."
Kaworu turned to Kaji who was coming back with some meat from the catch of 'tonight'.
"I'm surprised the old man even let you two come here alone together, knowing what could potentially happen" said the man as he walked into the hut.
Kaworu's eyes followed him inside before pausing for a moment at the entrance then going in. Shinji and Keita were on the couch passed out, Kaji in the kitchen, coming out minutes later. The man looked over to the two on the couch and smiled.
"Looks like those two won't be grubbing tonight" he looked at Kaworu, "And you?"
Kaworu simple shook his head.
Kaji sighed, "Fine then, I'll make a few beds in here for us, no point in leaving them alone. The boy's stigma has gone a bit but he is still in danger."
Kaworu said nothing, only bidding the man goodnight when the beds were finished and they all settled for the night. His dreams full of entangled bodies moving in perfect rhythm and kissing those pouting lips.
• • •
"AHHHHH!"
Fuyutsuki cursed as he spit out some blood after another hit landed on his gut. He was being held in a cell, suspended in the air by his thumbs on a chain. He did not know how long it had been, days maybe? To him it felt like more, he was surprised he was even conscious much less able to still make a sound. His clothes stank, his body covered in grim and blood, cuts and bruises. The whole floor was a sea of his blood, the crimson juices of his life dripping off him like a slow constant sprinkle of rain.
"Stubborn son of a bitch" said the one who had hit him, taking the brass knuckles off and throwing them down on the table with the rest of the torture devices they had used on him. The other two in the room made sounds of agreement as they caught their breath after physically beating him. How many times this had been he was unsure.
"Up the pain, I want him either dead or talking" growled a raging voice over the intercom.
The elder man managed to raise his head off his shoulders a bit to look at the large glass wall where he knew they were watching, namely Katsuraji's daughter, she had come every time they laid it out on him.
One hit to the head caused him to enjoy darkness' sweet oblivious company once again.
• • •
"Come on!" yelled Kaji as he loaded the tanks of gas into the back of the Humvee.
Kaworu helping him with loading everything of their supplies. The labs were far, and with the threat of ANGELs they needed all they could get. Shinji came out with Keita running ahead of him, giggling with his teddy in his arms before jumping into Kaworu's open and waiting grasp.
"Good morning Shinji" said the silverette.
Shinji smiled at him, "Morning, Kaworu."
Kaworu then looked up slightly at Shinji's hair, Kaji seemed to have noticed as well as he stopped what he was doing and stared. Shinji looked at them puzzled.
Keita giggled, "Nii-chan has funny hair."
Shinji tilted his head to the side a bit, "Huh?"
Kaji looked a bit uneasy and gave a heavy sigh before reaching into his pocket, taking out a mirror, and handing it to him.
Shinji held it up to his face and gasped, his hand snapping up to his hair, grabbing the white area that had seemed to appear so suddenly. There was also the fact of his eyes, they had become more of a reddish brown color now.
"Wha-what the hell!?"
"Seems the ANGEL cells in you are evolving" said Kaji, his gaze lingering over to Kaworu, who was still staring at Shinji.
"Wait, ANGEL cells!? But how do I-"
"Your stigma" said Kaji as he lifted the last of the supplies into the vehicle before closing the trunk, then turning to the teens, "It occurs whenever one encounters one of the ArchANGELs, from what Kaworu told me this morning you encountered one before you got here. It happened when your mom encountered Adam during the First Impact.
People, only a select few, will catch a contagion when they come near one. Regular ANGELs and Cherubs do no harm. This contagion, the ArchANGEL cells, enter into the bloodstream, and forms the Geostigma, a sign of the 'Chosen'. A gift if you will from the beings above…some like SEELE think it's that, others think of it as a curse. If a person is compatible with the cells their body will adapt, creating the orange blood, it only turns the hair white and eyes red if the person is infected on a massive level, like Kaworu here."
Shinji looked to Kaworu who nodded in confirmation.
"However…others like your mother are not so lucky. When a person is not compatible the cells with mutate in the stigma that then attacks the hosts body, turning their body and eyes completely black and their hair white. They become mindless monsters, the beings we call Apostles."
Shinji looked at Keita, whom Kaworu had allowed down so that the boy could run around. He was now chasing after a butterfly, teddy tucked in hand, tiny legs carrying him after the golden insect as his giggles of joy sounded like bells to their ears.
Kaji was looking at the boy to, "That kid has the stigma too, but the influence of your cells Shinji seemed to have changed the cells."
"My cells…you mean the ANGEL cells inside me, right?" asked Shinji.
"Yep, only time will tell if the kid will turn into an Apostle or become a SEED."
Shinji nodded but then a thought came to him, "Wait, what about that girl…004 and that woman?"
Kaworu looked at him, "They were compatible hosts, just not on a massive level. I am the only one known to be so, as well as another. And it appears you are to, Shinji."
Shinji nodded.
"Right, we call ones like you SEEDs as Fuyutsuki may have already told you. Obviously he did not explain a lot. SEEDs are those who are compatible, able to use the powers of EVA and AT fields."
"AT fields?"
Kaji smiled, "Those barriers you keep springing up."
Shinji had a look of understanding as he remembered the shields that came up every time he was attacked.
"Even though you can't see it," said Kaji as he knelt down and picked up a rock, standing he threw it at Kaworu.
Shinji watched in shock as the rock barely made it far before it bounced off of a familiar orange shield, falling harmlessly to the ground.
"It's always around you, you can of course lower the power, but it's the best defense you have, ANGELs have them to, the AT fields of massive level SEEDs and ArchANGELs are stronger than regular ANGELs. This one here has his up on full power" said Kaji, throwing a thumb up to jab it at the silverette.
"Really?" asked Shinji.
Kaworu nodded, "NERv has been tracking us since they found you that day of the train crash, the AT field is also good in hiding your presence, as well as defense."
"So…like camouflage."
"Right" said Kaji with a smile as he got the driver seat of the Humvee and opening the door.
Taking that as a sign, Shinji called Keita over to him as Kaworu got into the passenger seat next the elder man. Picking Kieta up, Shinji opened the back door and placed him in before getting in himself. All set, they began their drive through the village stopping when they saw Tenma, his wife and daughter standing at the edge of the village.
Tenma walked forward, "So, you're going…with them" he glared at the three kids in the truck.
Kaji smiled, "So, you heard."
"Yeah, I saw it when Serah ran to come get me, saying something was wrong with the kid. You know what this is Kaji, why are you helping them, did you forget that those damned black blotches, the Geostigma is what KILLED HALF THIS VILLAGE!"
Shinji inhaled sharply, covering his mouth, shocked to hear this.
Kaji looked at the gruff looking brunette with a forlorn look, "Tenma…you need to let it go…she's gone."
"SHUT UP! If you leave Kaji, you're never welcome back, I'm not taking any chances that you get infected and bring it back here. God knows if those here are already suffering from it after that LIGHT!"
Shinji shrunk back as the man's gaze landed on him.
Kaji looked at the man for a moment before grinning, "see ya' Tenma" he looked at the man's family, "Seika, you look after Serah here, and that little one on the way, alright. Make sure that this big lug stays out of trouble to. I'm counting on you."
Seika smiled sadly as he placed a hand on her swelling stomach, "You to, Kaji-san."
Tenma seethed at the other, glaring at him.
"Tenma, my informants' information is in my place, all of the information you'll need to keep this village afloat…goodbye my friend."
Tenma said nothing, only watched as the Humvee drove away.
"Was that okay?" asked Kaworu, "To leave them like that."
Kaji gave a sad smile, eyes still on the 'road', "During the First Impact, Tenma lost whole family, everyone but his little sister. But she did not get away unscathed."
"The stigma" whispered Shinji.
Kaji nodded, "Yeah, she lasted for a few months before her body just gave out. Then during the Second impact…he and Seika lost their first born to it."
Now they understood why he had been so protective.
"Yep. All that loss made him into a great leader, he's been holding up that town for years, teaching them how to fight and survive. I only came here several years ago and decided to help out."
Shinji smiled, "You're a good man, Kaji."
Kaji laughed at that but said nothing.
• • •
"Let us begin the operation."
"Major Katsuraji, under no circumstances are you to let them escape."
"Capture them alive…or dead if you have to, but bring us their bodies."
"Yes Sir!"
