Episode 3: robot fight and releasing a new member
*pow!*
Kaworu punched the drone in the front part, leaving a dent. Then it shoots lasers at him, but he dodged all seven in mid flight, except one of the lasers managed to take a small chunk of the robotic suit. He grits his teeth as he found this out, then he flew towards the drone.
"Now you're making me pissed off!" He growled.
He kicked the drone at its left wing parts, breaking a medium sized chunk of it. However, he sees a person sized capsule containing pinkish red goo that is assumed to be powering the drone. When he uses telepathy on the capsule, he can hear a males voice coming from within.
"How long... am I to power this...? The scientists said it's a temporary operation.... but I'm slowly.... going insane...! All I... see.... is darkness.... Can't move...!" Said the males voice.
"Don't worry, I'll get you out as soon as I destroy this machine!" He broadcasted his thoughts through telepathy.
He got away from the drone, so it can focus on him. Then it launches missiles at him, intent to blow him up. He dodged each missile, but one exploded next to him, taking out the right arm part of the robotic suit. He screamed upon seeing this, but when the smoke clears, he realizes that his arm and the sleeve of the undersuit is unharmed.
"Ok, now I'm down playing" he said in a calm, but visible anger.
He reached his left arm, expecting for the robotic suit to shoot energy blast. But much to his surprise, a ball of psychic energy formed at the palm of his hand. He grinned before blasting it at the drone, dealing massive damage to it. On it's last legs, the drone falls and crashes into the shallow goo near the warehouses. Causing medium sized waves to splash at the row boat.
"Now who's the badass!?" He grinned, before flying towards the wreckage of the drone.
Yoshino saw how the fight ended, and leave the warehouse to check at the shoreline. By the time she got there, she was amazed at how Kaworu had dealt with the flying machine. Then she sees Kaworu heading towards her, carrying the person sized capsule in both hands, and she cheered for him. He blushed while smiling upon hearing her cheer for him, which he felt appreciated.
"You did amazing fighting that robotic drone! It felt like I was watching a mecha battle!" She cheered.
"Ah, it was nothing. I did what I had to do to protect you and my new home" he grinned.
"But the robotic suit prototype had quite a beating, it will take some time for me to repair it" she said in a worried tone.
"Don't worry, once I drop this off, I'll take this suit off for you to repair. That way, I'll kill some time by repairing the roof while you fix it" he reassured.
"That's sweet, but you don't have to repair the roof. I might have some uses for that hole" she said.
Afterwards, the two came back to the warehouse laboratory. Kaworu took off the robotic suit so that Yoshino can work on repairing it, and then he walked over to the capsule to work on it.
"Now, let's see who you are" he muttered.
The capsule is made of metal, colored red and yellow, and has three rectangular shaped glass windows that showed the pinkish red goo. Below the first window, there's a metal plate on it. It reads:
"Name: Tomori Harada
Age: 21
Occupation: chef".
The rest of the profile is smudged to the point of being illegible, but that's enough to get the picture. Kaworu looked for a hatch that will open and pour the goo out, until he found it at the bottom. He tried to open it, but to no avail.
"Damn it, they've screwed it on too tight. There must be other ways to get it open" he said to himself.
"Is something the matter?" Asked Yoshino.
"Yeah, I'm trying to get this capsule to open and release the pinkish red goo in order to bring the person back. I might need your help" he answered.
He brought the capsule over to the work bench, so she can figure out how to open it. After few minutes of examination, Yoshino found a way to get it open. She explained to him that it has voice recognition software that prevents anyone from either forcing it to open nor using their voice that it doesn't recognized to open it, but she has a means to hack into it. She plugs in a cable to the hatch from her laptop, and typed in codes and such to breach the security.
"And that should be it!" She said, after breaching the last security program.
Suddenly, the hatch of the capsule opened. Kaworu moved the opened capsule to an empty spot so he can pour out it's contents, but it smells like a mix between vinegar and old peanut butter. He carefully tipped the capsule, pouring the goo out of it, and creating a big puddle.
"Sick! Now I know what it felt like to be reduced to a puddle" he said in disgust.
After pouring the rest of the goo out, he carefully bent down as to not step in the puddle. He can hear the voice coming from the puddle, it sounded happy upon being released.
"Thank... you...!" Said the male voice.
"Just try to remember, and strengthen your mind. That way, you'll regain your body eventually" he said through telepathy.
Soon enough, two hands emerged from the puddle. Then the rest of the body emerged, revealing a young adult man gasping for air. The man has dark brown hair that covers his eyes, fair skin, and a short chin strap beard. When the man moved his hair (which is dripping with the pinkish red goo), it reveals that he has blue eyes.
"Welcome back, Tomori Harada" said Kaworu, with a smirk.
"How... How did you know...?" Asked the man, as his voice is weak.
"I've read about you on this capsule" he answered, while showing the man the capsule that contained him.
"Then... might I ask about you?" Asked Tomori.
"My name is Kaworu Tsukuba, and this young girl is Yoshino Konoe. You have been turned into goo for sixty seven years ago" he introduced.
When the man tried to get himself out of the puddle, he helped him get up and took few steps. He can see that the man is naked and covered in goo, which made him a bit sick to his stomach.
"Come on, let's get you some clothes. After that, let's grab something to eat" said Kaworu.
