As a medial team wheeled in the Crysostasis tube into the lab, many assistants cleared a bay for it. Removing a bed, pushing it aside as the tube was moved into place. "Lets get some support systems on this thing. We gotta be able to keep an eye on it. We gotta figure out how to wake it up peacefully." One of the doctors said, as a few life monitors started up, and saw the androids heart wasnt beating, but it was there, and it was still in good shape. "This android is in marvelous shape. What do you think Ivan? Alien tech?" He asked the younger assistant who was observing the tube. "I dunno boss, but judging by the design, Id say theres a semi-liquid compound being supplied and recycled by the stasis chamber, it seems to be keeping everything in top shape. Id have to say its either Alien tech, or something really special." Ivan replied, as he finished looking over the tube, and saw several large large buttons on the side of the tube.
"Hey boss, look at these." Ivan sad, pointing to the space dust covered buttons. "Dont touch them. We have to run more tests first before anything. This android is a valuable piece of history, from what I can tell." He replied, as he started several devices to start diagnostics of the alien android. Both decided to let the machines run, and figure out the best way to activate and awaken the sleeping artificial being inside, that is, Untill someone else would awaken him...

Man stood silently at the edge of the room. He had been required to stand by for possible disaster. Gathering space residue such as androids who fall from the sky at a daily basis, is both fruitful as it is extremely dangerous and risky. Things could go well and they obtain another obedient being like Model Zero, or they unlock a natural hazard; threatening the Omega Collective.
The cryostasis container would be diagnosing every corner of the android, such as his biological and mechanical components. They needed to make sure it wasn't carrying some kind of space virus that could potentially cause a pandemic or a bomb which blows upon activation. All of these preventive tests were of utmost importance.
"Zero!" One of them called, "Stand guard as while we're away, do not let anyone inside. Trespassers without authorization shall be purged on the spot!" Man nodded.
The scientists walked away briskly and he was soon left alone with the chamber. The room was full of monotonous computer sounds as they performed automated tests on the subject. Once upon a time, Man was found and tested just as this one was being tested now; except he was in much worse condition compared to the new android.
Man was so damaged his face had to be reconstructed before people could know what they were dealing with -as a result, he probably lost a few details which could have led to the identity of his creators. He had no idea he had a life before now, he had no idea he had a living, beating heart within all that metal. But the scientists, they spoke of a heart, they said this android had a heart...
Man leaned over to a monitor, "Do you have a heart?" Of course, he had been told before that monitors couldn't hear nor reply, regardless, he had heard one reply to the scientists before. It was worth a shot...
Man was starting to get restless and cautiously walked towards the container. He rest his hand over the glass, looking awestruck at the other android. Perhaps he would have someone to talk to now. Man gazed down at his with curious eyes, "What's a heart?" He asked. "If I tore open your chest, could I see it? If I cracked your skull, would it be there?"
Man's hand seemed to cringe over the glass as if trying to reach the being at the other side. Suddenly, a weird sound caught him offguard, though it was only a computer starting a new diagnostic. Man hadn't realized he accidentally pressed on a button on the cryostasis. He decided to go back to his post before the scientists returned.

As soon as Man had accidently pressed that button, the stasis chamber began a cycle that it had never done for centuries... It started the process of awakening the sleeping figure inside it. Lights on the chamber lit up, as each of the connected monitors started to show new activity. The cryostasis liquid slowly drained from the androids body as the monitor for his heart started to blip. Faster, and more steady, as the androids heart started to beat.
What looked like steam suddenly hissed from around the clear material that acted as glass as the androids systems started to come online. After a moment, the steam hissing stopped and all seemed quiet... Until the cover of the chamber was ejected from the chamber, as it smashed into the opposite wall, shattering into thousands of pieces, leaving the android exposed to the air of the station, as its harness was released.
The chamber then fell silent, as some of the monitors attached to the chamber went dead, as the chamber had finally used up the last of its power to awaken its passanger, but the life monitors still continued to blip and monitor the android.

Man turned to observe the cryostasis chamber flickering in bright lights. The room was invaded by a new sound, the sound of a machine beeping in periodical intervals. A machine nearby which had been inactive started portraying sparks as the once straight line jumped up and down on the screen. He didn't understand anything but he observed none-the-less.
The stasis chamber beamed out streams of steam from all around the container. Everything was happening so fast, for some reason he felt like he was going to get in trouble; he had this warm sensation over his chest, a feeling he wasn't all that familiar with -as if his chest was beating rapidly. All he could do to ease the sudden excitement in his system was grip his chest with his hand.
Man approached the chamber slowly after the steam had finally ended, though the show wasn't completely over just yet. Some of the monitors had shut down, but the rest of the lab was still working regularly as if nothing had just occurred. Model Zero seemed to jump in his skin as the glass cover was ejected to the other side of the room and smashed into millions of pieces. One more step and he would have been caught in the glass. His built-in scouter hadn't detected any activity, though that was expected from an android. Man proceeded forward after gathering the guts and in his presence was the alien, whom had yet to awaken.

The android was not moving, even as Man grew closer to him, but it wasnt long before the other androids eyes slowly opened, and the last of his systems powered up, a his hands twitched. His eyes flickered, with them being used for the very first time. It was his very first time active, as his head and eyes slowly moved around the room, scanning everything, and the occupant which was alone with him, and approching. While everything was unknown to him, his eyes locked onto Man with a coldness only a pure machine would have. But then it would seem like his eyes would change to appear more human, as he spoke "Name?" however his voice seemed to be unmodulated at the time, as the voice seemed to cycle through a children's voice, to a womans, and finally to a young human male.
The alien android then attempted his first step, but stumbled slightly but he caught himself on the edge of the stasis chamber. He remained still for a moment, before looking up at Man again, and asked "Name?" with the human male voice, but with some confusion mixed into it. "Time?" He also asked, unaware what the year was that he was in. He knew the date that his mind was created, but he knew virtually nothing of the place he was in now.

Man gawked, surprised to see the android open his eyes. He gasped and took a step back as the being attempted to communicate, but he had failed to understand as his voice was particularly odd. The android tried to climb out of the chamber, almost falling over, but he caught himself at the edge of the container. He gazed at Man and repeated his previous question. Name? Time? It was certaintly the most logical question to ask in these circumstances, implying that the android had been hybernating for several decades or even eons. Man, unfortunately, couldn't remember the moment he was first reestablished. It was like being born for a second time, it was all a blur.
Before he could think to utter a responde, though, the scientists were back. "He's awake!" one of them called, signaling for the rest to follow behind. "Zero! Stand back!" another said as they rushed in to observe the newly awoken android. Bold move, considering they weren't sure where he was friend or foe yet. The doctor flashed a light across IIshavoh's eyes, "What's your name?" he asked. Man watched idly and slowly stepped back as requested, watching the android from afar.

Before he could get an answer, he saw several organic beings dressed in coats rush in. He heard one of them spoke, as they all moved up to him and shined a light in his eyes. He held up his free arm, to shield himself from the light, as he heard "What's your name?" from one of the other beings. Fear started to grip him, as he started to panic from the rush as he got to his feet, and held up a finger and pointed it at the light source, and fired a beam of energy through the light, causing it to go out. The burst of energy would make Man's scouter go off, as the alien android lowered his other hand, and also help up a finger, keeping them aimed in the general direction of the scientists.
"Time!" He said, as energy buzzed at the tips of his fingers, ready to fire off more shots. He was clearly scared of his new surroundings, as he then looked towards Man then back to the scientists. "Organic..." He said, as he looked back to Man "Android..." then back to the scientists. "Where Drandos? Where Father?"

"Ugh!" Man cringed and held his head as he felt a dry pain beating inside. His scouter although couldn't read another android's energy signature, was actively scanning his surroundings at all times. The sudden shock in power caused them to go offline and leave him in a state of confusion long enough for the unidentified android to lift his other finger and aimed it at the scientists. They squirmed back in fear with hands in front of their faces as if that could repel another of his attacks, but that was why Model Zero was here.
"Zero!" Ivan demanded. That one yell brought the android back to reality where he began to understand the situation. Without a second thought, he jumped in-between them and drew out his plasma sword -buzzing harmoniously with the other's energy attack. Man hadn't engaged him though, he was simply standing in the defensive to maintain distance. He held his head, confused as to why his scouter had gone offline. Taking a closer look, he observed the android, who's once cold visage now expressed that of a frightened creature. But Man was nothing but a weapon, his job wasn't to understand, it was to do as he was told and nothing more.
Man let out a subtle gasp as the being classified them between organic and android. He already knew he was an android, but hearing a stranger other than his masters say it, was like shooting a bird out of the sky. Everyone was dumbfounded and altered to a stage of aggression, but the doctor was more amused than he was frightened. He dared take a step closer to the android, though not farther than Zero. "We're not hear to harm you! We found you locked up in that container, trapped in a state of hybernation. You drifted to us from the vacancy of space -we don't know whether it was deliberate or just a coincidence- but we rescued you. You should be thanking us!" he explained.

Still scared out of his mind, he saw the other android came to the scientist's rescue, and draw out an energy blade. 1337's own scanners didnt recognize the weapon, as he designated Man as Hostile as well, as he had aimed a finger towards him as well. He was about to fire, when he noticed that where Man had been standing was now vacant, actually giving him the opportunity to make an escape attempt, as he quickly lowered his finger,s turned, and jumped over the stasis chamber, and broke into a run, towards an open door. However, He wasnt quite used to using his legs yet, so his run was more of a fast, yet clumsy stumble as he tried to make his way for the door.
His systems still needed to calibrate themselves, but he hoped that he would have enough time to get to the door, and escape from where ever he was. For all he knew, They could of been the people who put him in the chamber to begin with, and were trying to reprogram him. "Stay... away!" He said, glancing back towards the scientists.

Man gripped his sword, preparing to intercept the incoming attack. His scouter being offline, he couldn't really detect when the attack would be detonated, but he called it intuition. For a moment, it seemed like the doctor reached the android with reason, though that theory was quickly thrashed as he turned and fled from the lab. Man lowered his blade and watched as the android escaped. His task was to keep the scientists safe, not hunt him down.
"Zero, what are you doing!" Ivan protested. He glanced back at him confused. "Go get him you idiot! Don't let that android escape!" With the new command, he was off like the wind. The scientists were left baffled, they were always surprised at Model Zero's speed; he disappeared from their sight in the blink of an eye. Ivan ran towards the controls and slammed his fist through glass, pressing on an emergency button. The facility began to flash red and the alarm was activated. As Man pursued the running patient, blade in hand, large walls fell from the roof attempting to close them within the halls.
Man spoke not a word, the echoes of his footsteps and the buzzing of his sword, serving as a warning to the fleeting android that he was being pursued.

He ran as fast as he could, finally getting used to his legs. But he had to make a quick stop as a large door slammed down infront of him, and sealed him off from his escape. He placed his hands on it and tried to push it open, how ever his effort was in vain, as he heard footsteps behind him. He quickly whirled around, and saw Man came to intercept him, holding his weapon. 1337 moved his feet apart, as he took on a defensive stance, as his limited database of combat was reviewed, and he judged his odds against such a unique combat android, against his own abilities.
"You...fight?" He asked, as instead of pointing fingers, he started to charge up energy in his right hand, slowly starting to form a small ball. With only basic instincts programmed into him, 1337 had to do everything in his power to survive. Even destroy everything in his path.
(Charge 1)

The android had been trapped by the wall, but if Man didn't kick it up a notch he would be locked out by another wall. Man slid down under and barely made it to the other side by a hair before there was an audible thud enclosing the two in a room of roughly fifteen feet and wide enough to fit about five people standing side by side. Man stood at the other end, watching carefully as the other android turned to face him. He took a single step forward before his target began to charge an attack.
Man un-clipped his pistol with his free hand and aimed it at the android in one fell swoop. The action was so quick and trained, it was evident he had more experience using a gun than he did with a sword, much less dual-wielding them; but it was easy enough, he thought, hold the sword in his right hand and the gun in the other. He didn't shoot though, he glared at the android with his fingers wrapped around the trigger, he could still give in before someone got hurt!

As soon as Man withdrew his pistol and aimed it towards him, 1337's system went into full alert, as he detected the threat. From defensive to offense, as he suddenly shoved the hand forward that had the energy ball, as he fired off several energy shots in a quick volley towards man, before he kicked off the wall, and followed behind his shots closely. he made a fist with his other hand.
His fist started to glow as he followed his attack, but he kept his eye on the other androids blade just incase he would use it along with his bladed weapon as 1337 launched his assault against the other android. His first battle, and one that he would hopefully win, although he had no idea what the other android was capable of at this point in time, and it was possible he was going to be finding out soon enough.

Man regressed. He had thought to have had his target trapped, but it was he who was locked between a rock and a hard place. He curled his nose and snarled. In the worst possible situation, his chest began to beat again, that warm sensation spreading down to his abdominal area. Man braced himself and pulled the trigger consecutively as he attempted to detonate all the energy balls one by one, but his shutter speed wasn't good enough. As they grew closer, he was forced to stow away his gun and settle the rest with his buzzing sword.
Man locked on every possible target and calculated their distance in relation to one another and himself. His outward appearance seemed to have remained unaltered, though his pupils shrunk considerably as he went into Override Mode. All of his systems were immediately optimized to full capacity. The plasma sword whirred with every thrust, slicing the balls of ki in half before self-destructing, though he could not cover all of them. His armor had become sturdier, allowing him to withstand the few energy blasts though his left arm suffered the most; hanging down he was no longer able to operate the limb in question. Regardless, the rest of his body managed to escape serious injury with nothing but a few scrapes and chipped ends.

He saw that the other android anticipated his shots, but seemed to failed to notice that the shots he fired were merely a diversion to allow him to get close enough to use his powerful melee attack. With energy charged into his fist, He said "Fatal Error in your programming." as he threw his fist towards the androids midsection as the energy in his fist changed shape to that of a dragon, as the energy made a roaring sound as 1337 executed his melee attack at close range on the distracted Android.
With the close proximity, the speed at which 1337 was moving, and due to the fact that Man was distracted with his weaker ranged attack, there was a VERY good chance 1337's Dragon Fist would hit its marker. If it were to, He would follow up with a regular punch to Man's protected head in an effort to daze him for a few precious moments.
