"Hi Yukka!" I yell at her from inside my cockpit.
"Late night studying? Or making some changes to Ragnarok?" She asks.
"Oh, neither. My dad was going off again so i came here. I was hoping to find Instructor Creon actually, but he left a while before you guys got here." I respond.
"Oh, sorry to hear that....Where's your sister?" Zero asks instead of Yukka who is powering her construct up.
"Oh I think Vey was at the library but you never know with her." I respond, "I hope she didn't go home..."
"Speaking of which," Yukka says after climbing on top of Gryphon, her construct, and pulling open the cockpit, "What were you and Dr. Creon talking about?"
"Yeah what is with you and my dad anyway?" Zero says.
"Oh just the normal, i got some more info out of him regarding May 14," I say.
"You sneaky little trickster!" Zero exclaims, "What did he tell you?!"
"He told me more about our first encounter with the Omega afterwards." I leave my cockpit and climb up onto Ragnarok's shoulder, "He said that in the beginning none of our constructs could even see the Omega! Not even the standard soldiers!"
Zero interrupts me, "Wait, not even the soldiers? I thought there was only one type!"
"No, apparently there are 5 types including soldiers, We named them after what their like. First we have the Brawlers, they are slow but pack a punch. They can pick up a construct with no problem! Next we have Jumpers, they like to jump onto their target and invade the cockpit directly, they are tiny compared to their brethren! Next we have the massive "Tank" class, they are, from what Dr. Creon told me, quite rare. They were jumpers that invaded the cockpit of an old tank. They then fuzed with it overtime and their bodies grew around the tank. They have an arm that is a cannon and you can't kill them unless you destroy the tank!"
"What about the last one? Did my dad tell you about the last one?" Zero asks curiously.
"He only told me the name of that one, he called it a base." I shake my head, "He didn't give me any other details after that because he said it was classified!"
"No way! That can't be it! He needs to tell us more!" Yukka scowls.
"You'll be deployed in 2 weeks anyway you'll find out then!" An adult's voice comes from the door of the Hanger, "You guys were so loud and had all the lights on that i decided to see what you were up too."
"OH INSTRUCTOR CREON, SIR!" Yukka says, saluting.
"When we are alone don't bother with that," Creon waves his hand in the air, "Now what are you up to Karl, I told you to go home!" The elderly man scolds.
"Sorry Mr. I really don't want too," I respond jumping down from the shoulder of the Construct. Zero and Yukka meet me next to the old doctor.
"Oh boy, you really should get more sleep, you have some terrible bags karl!" Creon points out.
"Ehh, kinda hard too," I casually say.
"Why don't you come over to our house, i'm sure that Zero would love to have you over!" the old man says.
"Dad! That won't help him sleep!" Zero laughs, lighting the mood.
"No it's okay, i'll walk home. Even my dad is liable to be asleep by now," I respond.
"Okay child, be careful the moon's tunnels may be safe but don't trip and fall of something," He says.
"I'll walk with him, my house is close!" Yukka says, "I'll make sure he doesn't do anything stupid!
