How long had it been? When was the last time Shinji had seen the world through his own two eyes? Well, to be exact, on this date it made it exactly one year. Even then, he had spent two years prior to the comatose state locked up in a third world prison. The last time Shinji Koizumi had been free to roam the world was when he was 15 years old. Within the past three years many things had changed, but also within those last three years, one man had been working to free Shinji and bring him back to the world. It was because of that, that Shinji was now laying in a lab connected to various energy sources and computers, laying on a lab table. A long time friend had payed a lot of money to free him and to try and break him out of his comatose state, it all would pay off today. A graduate from AHS was supposed to come and work on the CPU of Shinji's exo-suit to try and figure out how to reverse his current state. Little did they know that it wouldn't be that scientist, but a much younger person from a world where such technology is far past obsolete. But back to the main character of this story, currently he lay there in a dream world where information about the new world was being downloaded to him via.... well... dreams. X-13 was taking special care to make sure that should his defenses be cracked, that Shinji would be well prepared to live in this world that had changed greatly. "Well what about movement?" one might ask, but X-13 had taken that into consideration as well and was sending small electric signals throughout Shinji's body to stimulate his muscles and the like so that he'd be ready to go once awakened. The truth was, X-13 wanted Shinji out of the state as much as this mysterious man from his past. Why? The living part of X-13 wasn't strong enough to actually take over Shinji's body through the exosuit and was limited to being stuck there. If he awakened Shinji, that would probably be the end of his use, but if someone were to crack the defenses X-13 set up, how could Shinji blame him? So with that in mind, all the awaited was the arrival of the scientists. So a quick camera pan to the security guarding the door to said lab where Shinji resides! These guards were put in place to make sure random students didn't just waltz in and mess with what they believed was new robotic technology. It was for that reason that they were getting payed. But just like and random NPC guards, they always did something to mess up. One guard turned to the other, speaking in what he believed was a hushed tone. "So... how much do you think that robot is worth?" The other one, bored as well replied with idiotic carelessness. "Not sure... probably a lot... but when is that scientist going to get here and activate the damn thing so we can get out of here... I've got tickets to a game in New York City tonight so I want to get out of this country ASAP." It was almost as if they were waiting for a cue.... unknown to all but those in the out-of-character world, this was indeed a cue... a cue for Kotomi Ichihane to enter into the story and awaken Shinji from his year long rest. |

Today was the day that Kotomi would be picking the lab she would call her own. Because her dorm was not her own, she wanted a place to make her own. And what better place than that would a lab be? She was an inventor after all and she wanted to have things set for her to make all she wanted. Up until now, she was limited with what she could make. In fact, being limited in an already limited environment was horrible. And so she needed to liberate herself from one of her limitations so she could progress with her work. But which one would she chose? Random was always best. Whichever one she picked, he could already upgrade to make better and so it was all a matter of just picking a room. However, as she was looking, she spotted a place that had two guards standing outside of it. No doubt it was an important place and she wanted it. And so, she walked up to the guards, already dressed in clothing that resembled what scientist of this realm wore. She liked it somewhat, but once she got to work, she most likely would not be wearing it. When she approached, the guards spotted her, waved and then handed her the code for the lab door. And then after that, they were gone. Kotomi stood there confused for a few moments. Had they been waiting for her, or was she being mistaken for some one else. It didn't matter, either way Kotomi was getting what she wanted. She so, with a wide smile, she unlocked the lab and went it. Inside, it was pretty neat. It wasn't as primitive as the rest of the realm, but the stuff was still pretty basic. But one thing did bother her. Some thing, an android perhaps and a mechanical suit littered the lab. At first, she thought it to be old unfinished junk, butt hen she realized that she was n the Human Realm. This stuff was pretty advanced for them. And so, she got curious. "Hmm..." She said, walking over to look at the person. She glanced over at the computer that was linked to it and the suit and smiled. "A lock...or a stasis. It's something." She said tilting her head a bit. "Well, if I'm going to get through these, I'll have to do a bit of rewiring." She said. She never liked how basic computers were in this realm she could would work on that before awaking the boy. Of course, working with electronics while clothed was dangerous and so she had to prepare for it. She took off her lab coat and the majority of her clothing. All she was left in were her panties and her bra, both made of out a special cloth that would be create static electricity. This was; she could work safely without being completely nude. She , opening up the back of the computer, she got to work, changing the wiring and systems without turning off or affecting the systems running on the computer. It was simple for her to do given her experience. It only took her an hour and after that, cracking the defenses was a piece of cake. With the new interface she had created, she made a system that overlapped and override the other one. From there, she could gain control of the stasis systems and start the awakening process for the boy. But because that would take a while, she did something else in the meantime. She wanted to clear up the access junk and things through the lab while the systems ran. There was no need to cloth just yet because she might have to do some electronic work again. "This thing better be worth my effort." She said to herself with a smile as she turned away from the boy and bent over to start clearing stuff up. |

If X-13 could visually show emotion, it'd definitely be smirking. It was all to easy, allowing this girl to unlock the current stasis lock was like leading a child by the hand. Of course, he was discrediting her, she obviously knew what she was doing, but if had wanted to, things would have been much more harder. Well, now that the locks were released, all that was left to do was wake up Shinji. As the girl turned, the suit quickly withdrew itself into Shinji, leaving the boy clothed in nothing but extremely tattered boxers and pants. It was all he had had on when the suit locked him into the coma. Quickly his eyes fluttered, attempting to adjust to light not seen for such a long time. Once they had finally adjusted, Shinji looked about, taking a few moments for his mind to actually kick in. Then as if being woken up from a nightmare, he lept up, memories rushing back in like a river through a destroyed dam. That was when it registered... how did he get there? Who was this almost naked woman and what did she want with him? How was he freed from the prison? Why? Why was he even alive? Although there was a reason he was being kept alive, his combat instincts told him not to trust this person. It was time to act and not think! He had to remain calm and not panic, panic would only lead to needlessly hurting others. Quickly grabbing a cutting tool off the table next to him, he leapt forward, Grabbing the girl by the arm and putting her in a hold, he held the tool up to her neck. "What do you think you're doing? Why am I here? How did I even get here?" His voice was much colder than a voice he'd regular use, but his was definately not in a carefree cheerful mood. Of course there were many other questions he had. But through her actions and answers, he'd be able to get a little understanding of the situation... or at least he though that was the case. |

Minding her own business, Kotomi did not see the boy wake. She was still clearing up as the boy was looking around and adjusting to his new surroundings. It wasn't until he started moving did she hear him. But she paid him no mind. He was just waking up and she didn't think any hostiles would arise right away. However, when she was grabbed and the cutting tool was put to her neck, she smiled and guessed that the boy was now in an alarmed state. She sighed slightly, having no fear of her own death since it wasn't something she would mind. "Why don't you calm down first and let go of me?" She said rolling her eyes. "If I was really trying to detain you, I wouldn't have made it so easy for you to get up off that table." She added, pointing out the fact that if the boy had thought before she acted, he wouldn't have been so rash. "As for why you are here, I figured you were mechanical junk that was left here along with the rest of this junk. I turned you on to see what you were worth, so thank me. I'm Kotomi by the way. Kotomi Ichihane." She cleared her throat a little as she moved her hand to pull the tool away from his. Sure, she wasn't scared of the thing, but she didn't want it up against her neck. It was uncomfortable and this whole thing was a misunderstanding anyway. |

This girl had reacted rather calmly to the situation at hand, something that Shinji definitely took note of, whether she was a hostile or not. Of course after a few moments, his weapon was removed and the situation was explained. As for being mechanical junk, had technology really advanced that far? If so, exactly how long had he been in that state? With that other questions arose, what was the date? How old was he now? Letting go of the girl, he quickly apologized with a simple, "Sorry, you could say situations like that are all I know..." The truth was that was all he knew growing up. It was live or die everyday, even after he had lost his freedom. But perhaps this meant there was a new chance, he could start a new life without the worry of who was out to kill him next or who what his next objective was. Stepping away from the girl, Kotomi, taking a few moments to reel in what these new opportunities meant, as well as to register his surroundings completely. After taking a seat on the table he had awoke on, he began idle chat, trying to clear his thoughts before moving onto anything else. "So then why are you here... Kotomi? Besides sorting through random junk that is." He finished with a more cheery tone, the tone his friend had known him to have when he wasn't rampaging through the battlefield. Then boom! Another realization! He had definately grown a lot since he was last free to move like this, not only that but he had gone through many changes physically. Last, he was really dirty. Was there even a place he could bathe around here? Perhaps get a change of clothes? Of course, he didn't even know where he was or the fact that it was a school building that he had already been registered to. Then yet another fact donned on him, she had given him her name yet he was rude and did not return the favor. "OH CRAP! I'm so sorry for being rude! I'm Shinji Koizumi! So um.... where are we?" So many questions, so much randomness. Still, unknown to the two, was that the puppet master behind all of Shinji's life out of prison, was on his way to the school and had this lab in mind. Of course, he knew someone would be able to free Shinji today, he just didn't know it'd be the young girl Kotomi Ichihane. |

As the weapon was removed, Kotomi relaxed a little. She was use to having her life threatened at her home and so it wasn't all that horrible, but at least it ended quickly so she could get back to work. "I guess you were made for combat." She said standing up and stretching in her underwear a bit after her arm was in such an uncomfortable position. She turned around to look at the white haired boy and smiled. "Your design would be practical, but I guess with the technology of this realm, you can only do so much when changing a human into an android. You aren't even complete, but that was probably their intention. I guess they weren't trying to do it at all really. You are still pretty much human is most ways so I guess not." She then sat down in front of her junk, facing away from the boy as she started to fiddle around with a couple of parts she had collected. "Me...? I'm making this place mine. The fact that you were in here wasn't very important. I was going to just throw you out, but I guess you were more interesting awake." She started to slide the pieces against each other before getting up and moving to another part of the room. From there, she picked up a few tools and started to work as she listened to the boy. "Shinji huh? A normal name I guess. We're in the technology hall of the private school for Meta-humans called Anime High School. I assume that you were either left or modified here, but either way it's not too important. You look the age to enroll here so if you don't have anywhere to go, you can stay here. Just don’t litter my lab anymore okay?" She said, holding up a cube in her hand. "All done!" She said, showing off the device and then walking to the door. "It's not that great, but it's the best I could do for now. It's a lock that should keep out those that don't know much about technology. I'll have to make something better once I get more resources." She stuck the cube to the thin crack at the top of the door. She then turned to look at Shinji and smiled. "So what are you going to do?" |

Made for combat? That could be one way of saying it, beyond the DeathGods companionship, combat was all he was raised to know. Still he found it humorous, she had no idea what he really was. But there was another twist of humor to that, Shinji himself had not yet gotten a full understanding of what he had become. One thing she had said was definitely true, he was far from completion. As she stated her reasons, it was obvious she wasn't the reason he was there.... so who exactly was behind this? What reason was there for bringing him out of prison and to this school? Shinji wasn't sure if he'd ever find the answers, but the truth was he didn't mind either. It would only mean an even fresher start for him. "You look the age to enroll here so if you don't have anywhere to go, you can stay here. Just don’t litter my lab anymore okay?" "Here as in your lab? I wouldn't mind that... you seem to know what you're doing with this place so I'm sure you could make it home-like." It would be interesting, stowing away in someone's lab, attending classes like a regular student, this was definitely going to be the start of a new life for him. As she spoke about the cube, Shinji looked it over. He was excellent with technology, if he wasn't there was no way he'd be able to operate with X-13 so well. But what about the person who brought him here? If their intention was to awaken him, wouldn't it be rather easy to get into the lab? He smirked, even if someone could get in, if they intended to harm him or his new friend Kotomi, he'd easily handle them. That was when it struck, how long had it been since he used his abilities? Would they even still work? Another thing he was unsure, but he figured he'd stretch and then see later if he was still in top shape like he used to be. "So what are you going to do?" "Good question... not sure myself. I figure I'll at least try to enroll here, start off new since I have nothing from the past to worry about." "So tell me more about yourself Kotomi. Where are you from? Why are you here at this school instead of working for some company if you're so good with technology?" There was so much Shinji wanted to know about the person who set him free, especially how she was so damn good with mechanical things. |

Kotomi giggled for a moment and shook her head as she turned to face the boy. "No, not here. I meant for you to get your own dorm room. I'm sure you are capable of living for yourself. And because few mechanics are advanced for this realm, you shouldn't have been turned off for too long. At least you'll understand this world a bit more than me." She said with a yawn. "This is a lab, not a home. The people that stay here was my test subjects, unless of course you want to volunteer your body. Though, I doubt after waking up, you'd want to give up such an important thing." She said smiling and walking to another side of the lab. "It costs twenty K to enroll here by the way. I was lucky enough to have some one pay for me, but unless you have some connections, enrollment will be a bit hard for you. They might have some kind of work-study or scholarship program, but other than that, you're pretty screwed." She squatted down away from the boy, digging through more junk to see what she could salvage and use right away. "I'm from a pretty far away place. And now that I'm here, there is little that I understand. I also lack the proper identification to do most things legally here. So I'm just going to be a student here. It's no big deal anyway; I like it here so far." |
