"Talk"

'Thought'
______________
"Wake up."

When the young boy heard someone calling out to him, he gasped loudly and sat up quickly with a startled expression; he looked around a bit confused and slightly dazed, but once he was able to get his bearings and focus, he was able to remember what had happened and recognize where he was, which calmed him down instantly and caused him to sigh in relief.

"Was I able to save her, Six?"

He rubbed his head, which ached a little, as he turned his attention and looked at the older man who stood beside his medical bed. The man looked clean and fit, well-dressed in green, wearing cool shades, and looking very professional overall. His name, he thought, was Six; he just stared back at the younger man with an unreadable expression.

"Yes, in fact, we just sent her and her dog away a few minutes ago."

He heard six not only confirmed that the girl and her dog, whom he had saved, were alive and well, but also seemed to have made a full recovery, as they were sent home, or at least he assumed they were sent home before he could even wake up and check up on them.

'Shame, I didn't even get a chance to say hi to her.'

But even with that in mind, he couldn't help but sigh in relief and smile to himself, as he was just glad to have helped someone and prevented them from dying; that thought alone was enough to soothe his heart and stop him from worrying about her and her dog dying in his arms.

"Since you seem to have fully recovered yourself, White Knight has a special mission for you."

Six interrupted his thoughts by bringing up something that had caught his attention.

"What mission? The usual butt-kicking and curing some rampaging EVOS?"

He couldn't help but feel a little pumped and eager to punch someone or something; after nearly being traumatized by seeing someone almost die, having an excuse to beat up some EVOs and let out some emotions sounded good right about now.

"Curing, yes, but fighting, not this time, we've sent our new recruit to fight the threat, testing them to see if they're fit to become your partner."

Six once again heard something that caught his attention; the feeling of wanting to fight was now replaced by curiosity about this so-called 'New Partner'.

"Oh? And I'm guessing I am going to watch them be cool and see if they're awesome enough to become my sidekick?"

The possibility of a sidekick never really crossed his mind, since he somewhat already has a certain ape as a partner; though he wouldn't deny that having someone else on the team would be a nice change of pace, especially if they're cleaner than his monkey and more fun than the person who doesn't have a sense of humor or know any kind of fun.

"If you wish to call it that, then yes."

Six, the Agent of humorless and unfun, merely nodded in confirmation of what the young man needed to do, which he wasted no time getting out of bed and getting himself ready.

"No problem Six, I'll be sure not to be biased and not give them any unfair points when grading them~"

Once he put on his signature red jacket and had his goggles back over his eyes, he crossed his arms and, out of nowhere, managed to summon some kind of large orange jetpack from his body and onto his back; he then glanced back at the man in green and gave him a smirk.

"Now then, tell me where the final exam is taking place?"

Meanwhile, in some sort of city that resembled New York, a very large creature, that looked to be half the size of most large buildings in the surrounding area, was in the middle of causing a very large rampage, smashing its arms, tentacles, and tail everywhere, crushing everything with its large foot pads and claws, and letting out a very loud roar that not only shattered every window nearby and further but also managed to catch everyone's attention and either make them run for their lives or let a certain young man with an orange jetpack know where the monster was at; he landed on a random building roof and used his goggles to zoom in on the creature and the surrounding area, trying his best to understand the situation and destruction that was happening.
