Bill looked around the hanger himself it was filled with that sort of metallic smell, and look that only pilots could really enjoy. Even though he was a pilot though he still never really enjoyed the smell of metal. Fortunately, and unfortunately for him though he didn't get to enjoy the sights of all the engineers and pilots at work on their own gears...because his gear was being gawked at in all it's glory. The blood red, and dark black Exalted (more commonly known as the machine Masurao) stood proudly in it's place it's terminal was thankfully locked as it seemed the engineers had already gone over whatever they needed too. Knowing his team was probably still behind him he really couldn't help but feel he should disperse the crowd gathering around the machine.

 [b]"Holy shit that machine is sick!"[/b] commented a first year gear pilot, as another older member stared at the thing intensely. A few girls stood with open mouths gaping at the beautiful japanese inspired gear as Atlas ran over he saw one of his old team co-captains now managing High Blade Ryonosuke Kumagera a top level defender class gear pilot. Last year between him, and Sasaki they had almost never gotten anyone to hit their key members. Now High Blade was top on people's list to win because of Ryo's talent. However they had stiff competition. [b]"Hey watch where you're shoving!"[/b] complained another pilot as Bill stood in front of the group after pushing his way forward. [color=ed1c24]"Everyone please move I need to inspect my gear ple-"[/color] Bill said respectfully but still firmly as Ryonosuke stepped forward. [color=aba000]"What's the meaning of this Atlas? I know this machine. It belongs to Black Thunder Atlas. How on earth did you get it from him?"[/color] growled Ryonosuke as Bill stood his ground in front of the admittedly larger man. Ryonosuke was practically 25 years old and he was bulky, and tough. The perfect specimen of a pilot if there was any. [color=ed1c24]"Ex-"[/color] Bill tried to explain as one of the geekier kids came up, [b]"Yeah that's definitely Masurao The Hardened Red Blade of Carnage. Build as a completely new model it's abilities with both speed, and shield strength are excellent. Hyperion Industries typically only makes big machines however Masurao is a specialty item. I would like to know myself how you came across it."[/b] asked the kid as Bill sighed. [color=ed1c24]"It's because Black Thunder is my cousin, and mentor he gave Masurao to me because he thought I deserved it. That's all I'm telling you now [b]leave[/b] or I'm calling the security guards go gawk somewhere else."[/color] Bill said firmly as most of the kids dispersed grumbling, and gossiping along the way. [color=a36209]"So your cousin finally gave you your own jackboot to work into huh Atlas? Fine so be it. I'll see you in a combat round soon enough."[/color] Ryonosuke said as he left with a few other members of High Blade leaving Bill to himself as he turned around and stared at Masurao with a sigh. [color=ed1c24]'[i]One hell of a boot you gave me Jaden...I hope it fits sooner than later...I'll need every ounce of Masurao's ability...no Exalted's if I'm too win[/i].'[/color] Bill thought to himself.
