Arising 'Giant'

[Azure_Ghidorah]

A section of the cliffs had recently been covered by what looked to be ruins of high tech buildings. It was a wonder it hadn't been noticed by pretty much anybody. there was little that could be recognized in the remains, and a few thousand dead bodies were strewn about, all mangled in variious ways, some even missing limbs.

What was most intriguing though, was a silvery figure with the appearence of most of the bodies. However... this seemed to be the only form that was intact, not to mention it was about three and a half feet bigger then the tallest man that could be found, somewhat in good condition.

However, the silver figure seemed to be dead as well, or at least dormant.

[Talon]

A large form covered in crimson scales touched down amonsgt the rubble, peering at the carnage through narrowed, glittering yellow eyes.

"Good lord... what the hell happened here?!" He muttered to himself.

The dragon seemed... different, in a way. For one, his entire right arm was now bound in wrapped-up cloth, including even the claws. His horns seemed to have gotten a bit more ornate, branching out near the ends, and his face seemed a bit more haggard, sunken in places. He poked and prodded through the rubble, sweeping for signs of life with his telepathy. He had eventually made his way to the lithe, silver figure, at which he stopped, eyes widening slightly.

"Well... if this isn't the source of this suspicious happening, I'm not sure what is..." He muttered.

He stared intently at the creature, muscles tensed as he probed into it via telepathy.

[Azure_Ghidorah]

Inside the mind of the silver figure, the mechnical parts of its body displayed an analysis on the condition of its body, both mechanical and organic. The analysis gave the ok to the mechanical half of the being to activate the being's body. The silver figure's eyes flashed to life before it began to stiffly push itself up into a sitting position.

"Ugh... what... what... happened?" the being asked, looking around before spotting Artecaex. The silver cyborg sprung away and back to its feet, "W-Who are you!?" it asked with a sharp tone.

[Talon]

Calmly, Artecaex replied,

"I'd like to ask you the same question. You're at the cliffs just west of Nightshade. Name's Artecaex."

He glanced around the disasterous scene, then asked,

"I myself would like to know what happened... thousands of fatalities, what would appear to be chunk of a city strewn about somewhere it shouldn't be... any chance you can explain this?"

[Azure_Ghidorah]

The silver 'human' looked to what Artecaex was indicating, and if it were possibly, his eyes would have widened considerably, and his jaw would have gaped, where it not sealed shut by his facial armor.

"What the... hell?" the silver being asked in surprise.

"I... I didn't know about any of this... I know this was almost like a temporary home to me... but I never noticed much... I was almost constantly dormant... The few seconds I was awake, I only saw a flash of light... then darkness... and now this..."

The being's arms went noticably limp, just hanging at its sides.

"I felt somewhat attached... yet I know so little... I can't even tell what caused its destruction..."

The silver being turned to Artecaex again, "I can, however, tell you what they called me. Its not much of a name, but I have been called Evangelion Unit 04 quite a few times... Still... all of my connections, however thin they were... are gone..."

Unit 04 sighed to himself, "I should probably go with a new, real name. I'll go by Shiruba-Kyokan... or just Kyokan for short would work too."

[Talon]

Artecaex nodded, muttering,

"Evangelion Unit 04..."

He snapped out of a sudden trance and looked back at Kyokan, then replied,

"I... might as well take care of this mess..."

With a raised hand, the rubble all flew into the sky, slowly sifting into a large ball before it all began compacting rapidly, until it was the size of a soccer ball. Artecaex exhaled and grunted simultaneously as the ball fell back to earth, and the crimson wyrm began telekinetically carving a large, 50-foot around, 100-foot deep hole in the ground, wherein he then began to gently levitate the bodies into it, placing them neatly side-by-side. He then dumped the sand/dirt back into the hole, covering the corpses. Artecaex visibly panted, muttering,

"Haven't manipulated that large of an area in a long time..."

He turned to Kyokan, then asked in a flat tone,

"Any questions?"

[Azure_Ghidorah]

Kyokan's eyes 'narrowed.'

"I'm afraid I do have questions, but these are questions meant for me alone to find the answers too... perhaps..." the Eva sighed, "I... I just don't know..." Kyokan glanced down. "I know I was given a purpose... but I don't think that purpose can be fulfilled in this case... and so... I'm left empty-handed... Left with nothing but to find a new living for myself."

Kyokan glanced around again, before finding the city, "I doubt I can go to Nightshade itself... who knows how they would react to my presence... I just don't know where to go..." The Eva sighed to himself, wondering what would happen now.

[Talon]

Artecaex sighed, then an idea suddenly struck him.

"Look... I, uh... I know these questions must be answered yourself, but I know of some people who can help. I myself was just now heading to a place where they're all congregated at the moment... perhaps you could meet them, and see for yourself if they can help?" He asked, twirling a hand in order to emphasize his point.

His tails swayed, and he scratched at the covering on his right arm as he waited for an answer.

[Azure_Ghidorah]

Kyokan's eyes dimmed, a sign that they were 'closed.'

"Yeah... any help would be appreciated right now... Lead the way." the Eva replied to the crimson dragon, turning to Artecaex once more.

(OOC: blah post, finish with yours.)

[Talon]

Artecaex nodded, then lifted the silver Evangelion with his telekinesis and took off for O'Malley's base.

"Be wary of the black robot and the teen boy... they're a bit paranoid..." He muttered back to Kyokan.
