On a table in a small table in an unlicensed and illegal laboratory( or black laboratory, if you will,) was a man covered in broken armor. Surrounding the table he was laying on were a bunch of cheaply dressed doctors with dirty or rusting tools.
The doctors all turned to look at him within a few moments. Most of them used small electrical saws to cut off the singular pieces of his armor. Once the armor's chest piece had been removed, the first doctor talked. "Stay clear!" All of them turned off their tools and took a step back.
The doctor who gave the command walked up to the man and placed a defibrillator on his chest and looked at the others carefully: "Ready to intervene?" They nodded. He let out a heavy sigh before the machine made a weird noise and started to vibrate softly.
A sudden energy rushed out of the defibrillator and into the body, making the muscles all throughout the body tense. It jerked up, chest first. The eyes of the person on the table jerked open and he let out a panicked breath.
The doctor with the defibrillator ran backwards away from the man while the others jumped towards him to hold him tight, scared he would attack in panic.
His body shook for a few more seconds before he relaxed back down onto the table. "Get off of me. Before I hurt someone," He commanded. They quickly let their grip loosen, dropping his arms and stepping back. Stretching his shoulders, he stood up and pushed some buttons all over his armor, making it fall to the ground. With a glance at the cut off pieces, he continued to say: "What a waste of my time this armor was."
"A24, sir… Are you alright?" One of them asked, scared, "Your body… Sir, you should lay down and rest for a while."
A24, wearing only his undergarments and revealing his small but pronounced muscles, stared at them annoyed and walked out the room after clicking his tongue.
After a few minutes of hurrying through the empty halls and stealing pieces of clothes from different places, he felt a sharp pain in his stomach. "Fuck!" He cursed, "Assholes should've kept me there against my will or something… this pain…" Clutching his stomach wound he tried to continue on his way.
His entire body was covered by small holes made by Lina's tentacles, trying to keep him alive without taking over his body to trap his crew. "My brothers." He glanced around the hall.
Leaving through a door he entered the electronics market in the sixth citadel. Having his wounds covered, nobody should recognize him( well mostly because they all look alike, not because he covered the wounds, but it helped, I think… shut up, skip brackets or something).
He stumbled against a store's window and limped into it. "The time… and date."
"Ah. Of course, " the store owner said and glanced at his wristwatch, "It's 3 pm, day 414 since the wakeup." He looked back up at A24 with a professional smile, only to see A24 hurrying out the door without buying or selling anything and a handful of devices. "Huh? Hey!" He screamed after him and ran around the counter.
A24 was assembling different pieces of different devices he just stole into a new one. He dropped everything that seemed unnecessary to decrease the weight he was carrying for a further distance before the store owner would catch up to him. "It's been a little over a day since they saved me, but where are they?"
"Get back here!" The store owner screamed behind him, running at the limping A24.
He lowered his head and shoulders, trying to vanish into the crowd but was grabbed by the shoulder. "Here you go." He said, handing the new device to the angry store owner who was seconds away from bashing his skull in with an electrical hammer( the fuck I mean with an electrical hammer, am I stupid? Yes).
"What?" He dropped his hammer as the device was pushed into his hands and, after a moment of confusion, he noticed that A24 dropped to the ground unconscious. The device quickly sent out a pulse in the form of an horizontal disk which went over A24's body but hit almost everybody in the market.
Hearing everybody else thumb to the ground, A24 opened his eyes with a triumphant grin and stood back up, taking the store owner's wristwatch. "I guess you won't be needing this anymore."
While he left, he was surrounded by dozens of worried Teddy copies, trying to help him to a hospital to clean and repair his wounds. Due to their size, the disk completely missed them, but they weren't the target anyway.
"It's alright everybody," He announced, "I am extremely grateful for all your concern, but it is unnecessary." And as quickly as they assembled around him, the group of worried Teddy copies hurried away, throwing him scared and sad expressions.
Only one Teddy remained and he lowered himself to face her. "You're… you look very cool, but I told you already, I don't need your help." He patted the Teddy copies' head and felt that he could not move anymore.
"Paralysing agent," She told him proudly, "Should have had them heal your wounds." A24 dropped to the ground, his veins popping up purple. She took his hand to pull him, but found he was too heavy: "My name is Captain Teddy, you are under arrest."
