Neo Gear

Famed Backlash

"Helix Yn Nexer...."

"Mother chose him for his skill and fame."

"But I have a feeling he's the exception to her dislike of humanity."

"I would have destroyed him if Mother didn't demand a duel that I must win."

3rd Person POV:

Yn took the hover lift from his Gears cockpit to the floor.

Felicia: What the scrap, Helix?! Challenging that Neo Gear monster like you did!

Yn:(to engineer) Have the upgrades done.

Felicia: Are you listing?!

She takes a hover lift from her remote control station.

Yn: Yep. It's all going through one ear, out the other.

Felicia: That means you aren't listening!

Yn: Should I be? All you are doing is complaining.

Felicia: Because you're an IDIOT!

Yn: Am I now?

Felicia: I just can't with you... Mick, you're with me, right?

Mick:(exits cockpit) Helix an idiot? I can get with that.

Mick: But how did we win the game?

Yn: That doesn't matter anymore.

Lisa: Can I join this conversation about my brother's intelligence?

Yn/Felicia: No/Yes.

Lisa: Yn... Are you trying to get yourself killed?!

Yn: I already told you.

Yn: I'm still trapped by my Warden... I must kill him.

Yn: Trust me. I can do it.

Lisa: I trusted you to come back after that mission a year ago.

Yn:... I'm here. Aren't I?

Felicia: It feels like you're somewhere else.

Yn:(glares)

Yn: I will be.

He leaves the hanger as the crew PA announces it needs a medical team in the Uranus hanger via code.

(Opening theme)

Entering the lobby section of the hotel, the earth team was bombarded with journalists.

Casually, Yn walked through the hoard.

Reporter: Mister Nexer! Why did you challenge the Neo Gear?!

Yn: Someone had to.

Reporter 2: Mister Nexer! Do you honestly think you can beat an advanced Gear like the Neo Gear?

Yn: If Nexstar industries are truly the best, then with my skill, I can.

Reporter 3: Were you the test pilot for Lucifx?

Yn:...

At that, Yn stopped in his tracks, turning to the reporter who asked the question.
