Rule 63 is fun.
"The other planets out there must suck if you keep coming to places like this." Haken commented as he attempted to read through the menu. He honestly had no idea what was what, so he opted to do what he normally did when it came to eating out. He gave the chef a stern look and made the order as simple as possible.

"The cheapest thing you have and all your condiments and seasonings." he stated flatly. The chef gave him an odd look, but otherwise complied. That done he looked at Aisia and shrugged.

"Not much to say about me. I'm a mechanic by trade but stopped working for a bit looking for someone, my mentor, who vanished a while back." he said simply.

Even Aisia had to give Haken a strange look when he wanted some cheap ramen and a bunch of condiments. She couldn't help but wonder if he was just going to dump all of them in his ramen, but it was his food. Not to mention he was apparently a chronic alcoholic, so such things were probably not even that much of a problem.

"Not much to say about me. I'm a mechanic by trade but stopped working for a bit looking for someone, my mentor, who vanished a while back," was all he said regarding himself. And in a sense... they were the same. They both tried to find the people important to them... except in Aisia's case, it was less not knowing where Ayane was and more just being unable to go to her at the moment.

"I see... that mentor of yours must be important to you..." she said with a sad tone before taking another sip of her water.

The cook returned with their orders and Haken's... condiments. She was honestly scared to find out why he needed ALL of them. "Do you have any leads? Since I'm here anyway, perhaps I can help you look for him."

And so, he grabbed each of the containers for said condiments, each held in between his fingers. Pepper, soy sauce, garlic, you name it, it was there. And without out another word...he poured every single one into the bowl. Not just a light dab, but enough to make an entire top layer over the noodles, it was almost hard to tell it was ramen now!

Setting them down he all but began mixing the strange concoction, before looking at Aisia. "Yeah...the old man took me in when no one else would. That, and I have a few scores to settle with the guy." he said cheerfully. "No leads though, I kinda just go wherever I want to." he finished before slurping some of his noodles. His face soon lit up with glee right after.

I-is he really going to be okay with that!? she thought to herself.
"W-well, maybe if we had a picture of him it would help," she said as she continued to eat away at her own ramen. "Also... I think I can see why you're so kind," she chuckled. "A lot of times, I could only rely on either the kindness of people or myself. It's rare to find people who are willing to help someone just like that, and usually, those that do have their own ulterior motives."

She took another slurp of her ramen and swallowed before continuing, "Perhaps the saying is true... a little bit of kindness goes a long way." She turned back to Haken and nodded. "All the more reason we should look together. Though... I also need to find my lost items along the way... They're important. If someone were to get a hold of them..."

She left it at that and continued eating.

BOOM... BOOM... BOOM!

The ground began to quake slightly, as if a tremor had taken place, not unusual consider the geographical position of Japan makes the island nation known for being an earthquake-prone region. Although the thing that would make it clear that the tremors in the ground were not caused by an earthquake; instead of a constant rumble, the tremors came in regulated pounding rhythms... it sounded more like, footsteps?

Like a scene out of Jurassic park, with each thundering footfall the soup in Haken and Aisia's bowls of ramen rippled. The thundering footsteps grew louder, and the tremors in the ground more intense - whatever was responsible was getting nearer and nearer, until!

"Everybody, run for it!" A police officer barked through a loud hailer as a crowd of frightened civilians ran past the ramen stall. Gunshots echoed as police officers and SAT operatives opened fire, looking in the direction where the fleeing crowd came from, it soon became clear what was the source of all the panic.

Appearance Reference

What appeared to be a military-styled humanoid mecha standing five stories tall thundered down the streets of Tokyo trampling underfoot cars, phone booths and pretty much anything that didn't move out of its way in time. Every now and them however, the mecha would pause and raise a giant-sized assault rifle into the air and fire a short burst skywards. Although one name Aisia might find familiar was that the mecha bore a corporate insignia on its right shoulder pauldron.

"Somebody get the JSDF on the line!" the commander of the SAT unit yelled to one of his subordinates, as the police and SAT continued to empty magazine after magazine on the advancing behemoth with no discernible effect, their weapons barely leaving a dent on its armor.

"You cheating bitch! Where are you!?" the pilot's voice called out angrily, amplified over the mecha's loudspeakers. "I swear to God, I'm going to find you, and kill you!" The mecha paused briefly to raise its right foot, bringing it down on a police cruiser whose occupants have long-since abandoned.

"It's not safe over here, you need to evacuate!" A police officer ran up to the ramen stall amid the chaos, his duty to ensure that civilians evacuate swiftly and in an orderly manner.

That was picture he had of his mentor in his wallet, one that was of him and the old man in front of a completed car of sorts. One might say you could easily see the resemblance between the two. It was one of Haken's more fonder memories, as it was a picture commemorating his first day on the job. Regardless, before he could reminisce any further, the commotion from outside had snapped him out of it, and further more it was disturbing his meal.

He would not let that stand.

As such he stood from his seat and looked at the owner and asked him but a simple, yet serious question. "Got any booze?" Of course, Aisia would probably facepalm at this, but he had his reasons.

Aisia tried not to laugh when he gave her the picture.
They're... pretty similar, she thought to herself.

Suddenly, the ground rumbled and the broth in her ramen shook. At first, she thought it was an earthquake, but she'd been around Mobile Suits long enough to soon know the difference. Earthquakes were characterized by sustained shaking. This shaking was short, in bursts, and seemed to have the sensation of something large running around the area.
"Don't tell me-"
"You cheating bitch! Where are you!? I swear to God, I'm going to find you, and kill you!" the angry pilot of whatever it was he was piloting called out. Aisia turned around to see a giant robot of some sort, angrily rampaging across the city.

She wasn't close enough to see the insignia on its right shoulder, so she didn't recognize it just yet. She was more worried about this rampaging mecha!
"It's not safe over here, you need to evacuate!" a police officer said as he ran to the stall, calling out the remaining people inside.
"Haken! We have to run!" Aisia said, and she moved to pull him by the arm, when...

"Got any booze?" he asked in a serious tone.
Aisia didn't facepalm; she faceplanted on the ground. "C-Come on! This is no time to be drinking!" she angrily said, but then she suddenly remembered something he said earlier...
Neat trick...the only things I can make are tools... and I have to be drunk to do so.

...

She had no idea what these tools were, but eh, if it could stop this thing... "You know what, forget what I just said. If it'll work, then I'm all for it!" Aisia said. "Get your booze! I'll keep him distracted!"
With that, she slurped down the last of her ramen, bolted out of the stall and instead of running away from the scene... she ran TOWARDS it!
Not as hungry right now, so it should do... With that, she quickly leapt through the police barricade, and materialized a Gundam Hyper Bazooka on her right arm!
"Hey! You looking for this!?" she said as she launched two shots from it; one at the mecha's head, and another on its crotch as she ran underneath it!

"Hey miss, you can't go over there! There's a madman piloting an experimental military mobile armor on the loose!" A police officer called out as Aisia ran up to the police barricade and vaulted over it, a bazooka materializing in her hands.

"Hey! You looking for this!?" A young voice called out from below, although before the maniac piloting the mecha could process what just happened, two explosive projectiles nailed his mecha in the head and crotch.

"Damn you!" the mecha pilot growled as the explosion caused the mecha to rock, the metal behemoth staggering and leaning against a nearby building for support, tearing loose chunks of masonry that rained down onto the streets below. "Why is every woman in this God-forsaken city out to hurt me so!?" The mecha seemed to bend down on one knee, burying its head in its free hand, before clenching it into a fist and pounding the street below, smashing a crater on the tarmac before rising to its feet.

"But I guess I'll just have to smash you then!" the pilot roared as the mecha leveled its assault rifle and fired a burst of shells at Aisia's general location.

"It kind of stinks when I have to get drunk out of necessity then fun, but this guy pissed me off." Haken grumbled. The ramen shop owner had offered him whatever Sake was left before hightailing it out of there. If the crazy foreigner wanted to drink to his grave, he was more then welcome to!

And so, with the destruction going on in the background Haken took a seat and began chugging away at an alarming rate. Bottle after bottle emptied one after another, all the while a strange, orange glow began encompassing him.

...

...

...

POPEYE TIME YEAAAAH!

It was unknown how many he took into him, but it seemed the stores stock of alcohol was pretty much gone. Leaving Haken a drunken lunatic...with super powers. The man began flexing a bit and stumbling about, grumbling incoherent things as he slowly left the ramen shop to meet with the enemy giant robot.

Aisia smirked when her shots hit home, causing the robot to stagger. Unfortunately, he staggered right into a building, much to her chagrin, and she hoped that whoever was in there managed to get out. Then again, you have to be crazy to stay in one spot when dealing with a robot that was probably seven to ten times taller than yourself. Crazy... or a girl with powers, anyway. Either way, even a girl with powers would be stupid to stay under the mecha at that point, so she ran away from it and away from the falling rubble.

If this had been Aisia four years ago, she'd have whooped with joy at the fact that she used her magic to stop a giant mecha. She probably would have also thought that she was successful in bringing it down. However... she knew.
"Damn you! Why is every woman in this God-forsaken city out to hurt me so!?" he groaned over the loudspeaker as he brought the behemoth back on its feet. Apparently, the pilot either wasn't caring who was going to get hurt at this point, and he was acting mostly out of rage. "But I guess I'll just have to smash you then!" was all he said as he raised his gun at her and fired off a burst of rounds!

Aisia, however, didn't move an inch from her current position, and to the policemen watching, the must have thought she was crazy to not even run. She didn't even flinch, even as the bullets made their mark and exploded, tearing the concrete up and raising a plume of smoke from the impact.
When the smoke cleared, as expected, Aisia was gone. Probably vaporized by the blast, most likely. At least, it would seem that way to those watching.

Oh, how wrong they were.

"Are you done whining yet?" Aisia sighed as she appeared from a pink circle of light that suddenly emanated from where the stock of the mecha's machine gun would be. She teleported to it at the last second, hoping to catch its pilot off guard as she raised her bazooka once more. She fired off another miniature hyper bazooka shell at the right shoulder joint, aiming to at least disable the arm!

That was when she saw the logo on the left shoulder, now that she was close enough.

Had Aisia caught sight of the corporate crest on the mecha's shoulder, she would have probably recognized it as the corporate logo of Frostfire Industries, a prominent multinational industrial conglomerate back in the universe she came from, with the rampaging mecha being one of their defense research programs, with the corporation's defense contractor arm in Japan having acquired last year a R&D contract for the JSDF, and this mecha is the product of one of Frostfire Defenses' various research programs. Apparently, Frostfire Industries existed in this universe in a mostly similar capacity, although whether the same people run the company is really anyone's (from her universe anyway) guess.

As the mecha began firing rounds from its automatic rifle, the police officers on the scene began to withdraw - putting a distance between themselves and the rampaging behemoth. The high-explosive armor-piercing rounds tore into the sidewalk and road, creating a series of small explosions and sending a cloud of smoke, dust and debris into the air, and from a bystander's point of view, it was easy to assume Aisia wouldn't make it - even for individuals with super powers it would be hard to believe anyone could've survived, for after the dust died down she was no longer there.

"Look at that!" A startled SAT operative pointed to a circle of pink light appearing on the stock of the mecha's assault rifle, and in the blink of an eye Aisia appeared on the combat machine's weapon.

"Are you done whining yet?" Aisia sighed before taking another shot at the behemoth with her scaled-down hyper bazooka, this time aimed at the shoulder joint of the robot. An explosion tore into the mecha's frame, this time knocking the giant clear off its feet to land on its back - the childlike wizard had hit the robot where it counts. The mecha's arm was almost severed at the shoulder joint, with sparks flying from its ruined circuitry and hydraulic fluids leaking out of its shredded hydraulic systems - for all intents and purpose the robot's right arm had been rendered useless, effectively crippling its ability to use the assault rifle. A whooshing noise was heard as the sparking circuits ignited the leaking hydraulic fluids, causing the mecha's right arm to catch on fire - although crippled by the attack, the behemoth was still functioning and capable of combat.

"Oh my God!" the pilot exclaimed; being less of a combat soldier and more of a salaryman with anger issues he panicked as the warning systems in the cockpit went crazy - displaying a variety of warning messages. However, the rudimentary (unlike Sati and Miharu it is far from sentient) onboard AI - programmed to assist the pilot in a variety of emergency situations - kicked in and shut off the hydraulic valve from the right arm's hydraulic tank.

Things only started to get crazier as the mechanic, Haken, in his empowered drunken state sauntered right past the police barricades to confront the behemoth, which was now rising to his feet. "Youuuuu the wise guy who spoiled dinner tiem?" He spoke incoherently.

"I can't be bothered with you, out of my way!" Realizing that the girl was more trouble than he could handle, and that the drunk was (at least to the pilot) of no consequence, the pilot decided to simply ignore them and continue with his original mission - to find the woman who had left him for another man and make the two of them pay. With that, the mecha broke into a running gait, threatening to crush underfoot any and all that stood in its path!

"Haaaaaah ignoring me." Haken slurred, stumbling about and ignoring protests to get to safety. He was mad, drunk out of his mind, but mad. If he was ignored, fine, more pain for him to dish out. Without another word Haken suddenly leapt high up into the air, on top of a near by building. His "Heat" was in full drive now. In that instant, he jumped down, and came crashing down upon the robot with as much force as he could muster.

"FREE FALL CRASH!"

Score! Aisia thought to herself as the right arm fell uselessly to its side. The robot itself lurched backwards, so she teleported again away from it to keep herself from getting squashed along with it.
However, what bothered her was that logo.
Frostfire Industries!? What is Selene-chan's company doing here!? Don't tell me... they're alternate universe versions of them, are they!?

But there was no time to ponder on that as the pilot managed to get the suit upright again and started running away!
"Damn! So he's going to use his size to-"

... Then she saw a drunken Haken start lumbering towards the mecha.
"... Haken? What-"
Her next words were interrupted by him jumping up into the air and onto a nearby building before jumping onto the robot as well!

"... Geh..."
Aisia sighed and broke into a run towards the mecha to try and stop it. She still had a few rounds left, though the bazooka itself would disappear soon. Hopefully Haken's maneouver was enough to stop him so that she could cripple the machine herself once she got close enough!

"Hey wait, you can't go there..." A police officer waved his arms as he walked up to Haken, who appeared to be rather peeved that the mecha pilot was ignoring him. "Argh, what's the point?" the officer sighed and shrugged - like the girl from before, this drunk also paid him no heed, although it soon became clear that there was not one, but two Espers on the scene as the drunk mechanic leapt into the air with a single bound, sailing several stories into the air, being empowered by his drunkeness which was by now in full swing.

"Looks like it's our lucky day then?" Another officer asked as she approached her colleague, staring at the scene in amazement as Haken landed on the rooftop of a nearby building.

"FREE FALL CRASH!" Haken shouted, his words clearly heard by those nearby as he jumped off the roof and at the combat mecha.

"N...nani!?" The pilot exclaimed in disbelief as the machine shuddered, as if something big and heavy had smashed against it - a window showed up on the main display, showing a wireframe of the mecha, highlighting an area on its back where a heavy impact was sustained. The force of the collision sent the mecha barreling forward, landing face-down on the road and sending a palpable tremor down the surrounding streets that shook the nearby buildings up to three blocks away. "What the hell just happened?" The pilot asked even as Aisia came running up to his downed machine, bazooka poised to fire.

"Ha...Ha...hahaha! DON'T UNDERESTIMATE THE HEAT!" Haken cried out as he was pretty much firmly implanted on the mecha's back, the impact left his boots stuck inside the machine's frame. And as such he would continue his beatings on it for ruining his dinner time. Soon enough a pair of wrenches would materialize, one in each hand. There was nothing special about them, until he combined them into one weapon, creating a set of wrench-chucks.

Yes.

"BUMMER SPANNER! GOOOOOO" he roared out, of course, rather then actually attacking he was just randomly posing with his wrench-chucks, mimicking an old kung-fu movie actor in his drunken state.
