[IC] The Spark of Interstellar Love (Sora1297 and AHeartlessNobody)

[AHeartlessNobody]

Extraterrestrial Vegetation Evaluators were created by the hundreds. They were made by humans much after they had taken to the space ship in attempt to find a new planet with the ability to support life just as Earth had before humans had destroyed it with waste and toxins. All the E.V.E's were all sent out. They would go form planet to planet in such of a good new home for the humans, and had been searching for years. Many died on these planets, though the creators of these being never thought much of it. After all, E.V.Es were not people, even though they looked it. They were genetically engineered. Science created them. They were nothing but tools to these people, and it stayed that way as the years passed.

When one died, another replaced it. It was no big deal, just like the machines that served the humans. If a E.V.E was injured and it would cost more to repair it than it would be to make another E.V.E, the injured E.V.E would be exterminated. They were nothing. They were lifeless creatures that looked, but would never be, human.

...

E.V.E didn't remember the last time she had been awakened to search another planet. She had searched many planets and none thus far had been successful of producing plant life. So many in fact had failed, that now she didn't expect any of these planets she was sent on would have life. So, whenever she was awakened, she focused on enjoying herself and being free for a few days before she would be forced to go back to sleep. So, after the ship had landed, and the claws brought her out, and the gases that caused her sleep wore off, she opened her eyes, and found herself standing on a barren waste land planet, she smiled. Tapping her feet, she tested the rockets in her boots to confirm they were functional and when she lifted in the air a few feet, nodded to herself and took off, giggling and laughing, twirling about effortlessly in the air.

She continued to enjoy herself until some sort of a sound reached her ears and immediately she turned, drawing her gun instantly, shooting out a blast that took out a portion of a near by vehicle. She flew a little closer, glancing about, then convincing herself she had just been hearing things, shook her head and turned, flying off, hovering about in the air as she used a device to scan nearby piles half-heartedly, wanting to get this part of the mission over with so she could enjoy what little time she had awake and free.

"Maxwell, no.."

ROUFF! ROUFF!! BAARK!

"Maxwell.. no~.."

GGGRRRRR, ROUFF!! BARK BARK RARGH!

[b]"MAXWELL! THAT'S ENOUGH!.. Look buddy, we'll only be out here a little while longer, okay? Besides, we still haven't found anything to eat yet."

Rrrmmmm, Rrrrmmmm..

"I know, buddy.. Come on, let's keep looking okay?" Wally exclaimed with a kind smile as he rubbed the white dog's ruffled hair with a smile. Maxwell happily barked and followed after the teenage boy, racing towards the massive heaps of destruction and ruins left behind from the great civilization of "New York City". Thanks to the cryogenic unfreezing process, Wally's memory was heavily damaged and most of the information he had gained in his short 17 years (according to the machine. In truth, he forgot his own age). Ever since he was accidentally unfrozen, Wally had been surviving on the desolate world that had been ravaged by the "Buy'n'Large" corporation's pollution and disposal of waste. From what he remembered of the day he was unfrozen, he saw at least thirteen or so people also stored (the real number was closer to the hundreds. Wally forgot how to count as a result of the unfreezing process and had to re-learn it from scratch), but his tube had been heavily damaged by time and a malfunction caused him to be freed. It was in that same laboratory where he met Maxwell, his loyal companion. Maxwell had been stored in the Cryo-labs because he was one of thirteen samples of a species known as "Dog's" on Earth. Wally unwillingly opened the puppy's capsule, but upon doing it he discovered his very best friend in the whole wide world.

As Wally pulled a pair of large and goofy-looking goggles over his eyes to protect him from the wind, he began to realize just how odd the moment had become. Wind? Yes, dirt flew around and got in his face, but never had it been this windy on a normal day. During a sandstorm, sure, but today was actually nice out for a change (the dirt clouds had parted and allowed the sun to fully cover the dusty landscape, and the wind had not been blowing at all before that moment). Curious about the strange occurrence the weather had just experienced, Wally sat up and looked over at Maxwell, who had covered his face with his paws to protect himself from the dirt. "Max.. Is it just me or is something seriously wrong here?" he asked the mutt, who responded with a low growl. "Exactly what I thought, buddy.." As Wally looked around to try and discover where the wind was coming from, he saw a massive white cylinder the size of a building slowly dropping down from the sky in the distance. It wasn't there before, so perhaps that's where the sudden winds had come from.

Rolling up his sleeves, Wally began to march towards the tall white thingy with the intent of scolding it. Obviously, he wasn't sure what it was, but he had no way of telling wether or not it was alive. When he arrived at the location of the giant white structure, something popped out from the top and was lowered a few feet in front of him by some sort of claw. Wally raised an eyebrow at this, but soon he saw the tall, sleek figure of whatever the thing was begin moving. It looked him him.. But different. This one had long white hair, wore an all white outfit it, had two odd looking lumps on its chest, and seemed to wear boots with what he remembered seeing as 'Heels'. However, when the creature smile, Wally felt something odd happen in the pit of his stomach. It was a tingling feeling, making him want to throw up, but also forcing him to continue watching. Then, the creature took off into the air and began to twirl around majestically, laughing and giggling as it swooped and turned. Wally smiled at this and continued watching, while Maxwell let out a happy bark. Then, the creature turned its head to see the car Wally and Maxwell were crouched behind and blasted a hole in it, frightening the two friends. As they lay there, shivering and holding each other tightly, Wally watched as the creature slowly began to float away. "W-W-W.... What was t-that thing?!" Wally quietly exclaimed, his voice full of fear.

After she floated off from the spot the shot at, E.V.E. got serious and went down to business, scanning the area she thought would most likely have vegetation, but so far, was not having any luck what so ever. As always. She already knew form the moment she got to this planet it would be just like the others. Uninhabitable. Why did the humans still even try? But then again, she supposed she should be grateful the humans didn't give up, otherwise they would disable all of the Extraterrestrial Vegetation Evaluators, including her. Sighing, she floated back down to the ground and landed her feet on the dusty ground, looking around. She carefully walked about the earth, examining different things curiously, that is, until she thought she heard the patting of footsteps behind her.

In one swift motion she spun around and shot her ray, only to blink in surprise to see some fluffy creature. It barked and she jumped a little in surprise, almost losing the grip on her gun. Carefully she put her laser gun back into its holster and knelled down, reaching her hand out. The creature went over to her and sniffed her hand before happily running around her and licking her face. E.V.E giggled, falling back on her bottom, petting the over excited animal, only to hear another noise and instantly went back on defense mode. She turned and seeing a figure, shot a few time, missing. The creature jumped about to avoid being shot and she tapped her heels, floating in the air again before approaching it.

As the dust cleared, E.V.E saw what looked like her, though she knew very well this was not like her at all. She was based after humans, so this life form must have been a human. Obviously male from his appearance if she was correct. She floated there in front of him and with her laser gun still pointed at his head, she spoke, a stern and not too kind look on her face, “Eduzi? Dirigée? Nakadirekta? Directed?” Seeing him perk up at the last word, and thinking he understood it, she took to that language, defining it as English, “Directed? What are your directions?” She asked, pressing the barrel of her gun to his forehead, just in case, “What is your mission here on this planet?”

[Sora1297]

Wally jumped suddenly at the explosion created on the rocks before him, making the poor boy shiver like a madman. Suddenly, the white figure he had seen floating around before. Her gun was aimed at him and he began to speak in odd words, making him very nervous. She looked human... But it was obvious that she wasn't. With technology like that and that sort of knowledge of language, she had to be some kind of extraterrestrial life form. Still though, her gun was aimed at him, and he felt his life replaying in his mind.

Boy, did he have some issues.

Then, she said something. A question. "Directive? What are your directions? What is your mission here on this planet?". Wally paused, not sure how to answer. Slowly, he cleared his throat and said "I was born here. This is my home... My directive, is to survive. Thanks to the Buy'N'Large company, I'm the only person here on Earth. Well... The only 'living' person.. My cytogenetic freezing tube broke a while ago and I made a new life here in the wastelands.. Mostly, I scavenge for food or items that I can use.. My home Ian far away from here... So, uh... Do you mind not pointing that blasty-thingy at me? I'd prefer not to die."
