Serious Shinji

An angel has been confirmed! When Shinji heard that Asuka and Rei were still recovering from the last battle, he knew that this would be a great chance to prove himself worthy as an Evangelion Pilot.

Shinji smiled.

Staff: Freezing process has finished. Position is correct for docking in the cage.

Maya: The termination signal plug has been discharged.

Staff: Roger. Insert entry plug.

Staff: Wrong entry plug inserted, try again.

Maya: …

Operator: The plug has been secured. Begin the first connection.

Ritsuko: Commence entry plug LCL injection.

Shinji: But, what's this??? Yuck!

Ritsuko: … All right! Who replaced the LCL with Coke?!

Maya: *Giggles*

Ritsuko: Retry entry plug LCL injection.

Staff: Connect to the main power supply. Transmit power to all circuits.

Operator: Commencing second contact. The connection to the A10-nerve is operational.

Ritsuko: Dutch, no, French, no, ugh, Japanese has been fixed to the system as the fundamental method for the control of Eva. All initial contacts are set.

Maya: Connect the mutual lines. Synchronization rate is 19.6%.

Ritsuko: Shinji, pay attention! Synchronize with your Eva.

Shinji: Sorry, I'll try.

Maya: Synchronization rate is 41.3%.

Maya: All harmonics values are normal. Everything is under control.

Misato: Ready to launch.

All safety locks of the Eva were unlocked and removed.

Maya: Okay. Eva Unit-01 to the launching pad.

Maya: Course clear. All green.

Ritsuko: It's ready for launch.

Misato: Ready, Shinji?

Shinji: Hai!

Misato: Launch!

A few seconds later, the Eva appeared on the ground. Shinji began to look around.

It was quiet, very quiet.

Misato: Shinji, the angel is on its way to you. Stay alert!

Shinji: Hai!

The angel appeared right before Shinji. It was about the size of the Eva.

Shinji froze stiff.

Misato: Shinji, attack!

Wham! The first hit on the Eva. The angel uses its sharp claws to attack the Eva.

Shinji: Mustn't run away! Mustn't run away! Mustn't run away! Mustn't run away! MUSTN'T RUN AWAY!!!

Shinji draws the progressive Knife, and charges forward. He was out of control. Like a mad person in some kind of mobile suit with a knife he cut the Angel in pieces. Blood was everywhere.

Shinji returned from the battle, victory is mine, he thought.

Shinji got out of the entry plug and changed clothes. Then he went to visit Asuka.

Asuka was still sleeping.

Shinji: Asuka… Asuka… Asuka…

Asuka: …Zzzzz…

Shinji: Asuka, wake up… wake up… wake up!

Asuka: …Zzzzz…

Shinji: Wake up!

Asuka: Mommy… Zzzzz…

Too bad, Shinji really wanted to tell her about the Angel. He turned around and went out of the room.

Asuka: Baka Shinji.

Shinji pressed a button, the elevator opens. Suddenly Rei ran out of the elevator and accidentally hit Shinji. Both of them fell on the ground. Rei landed on her butt.

Shinji: I'm sorry. Are you all right?

Rei: I'm OK. I'm sorry too.

Shinji: ……………

Rei: ……………

Shinji: I can see your panties.

Rei: What?! You pervert!

* Slap *

Shinji: Ouch! My cheek is red.

Rei stood up and walked away.

Then, quite unexpected, Shinji saw Asuka sneak out of her room. He followed her in a distant. Asuka sneaked all the way to a refrigerator and took out four cans of beer. Then she went back and put the cans of beer in her bag and went back to sleep.

Shinji felt like he must tell this to Misato. Besides, Asuka is too young for that.

It will lower the synchronization rate with her Eva.

So, the next day at Misato's place.

Misato opened the refrigerator and took a can of beer and drank it.

Shinji: Misato-san, Asuka is drinking beer too!

Misato: I know, I told her to get some cans of beer just in case if w run out of beer.

Shinji: !!!

Misato: Here, have one too.

Shinji!: Mustn't run away! Mustn't run away! Must face the beer!

Shinji: * gulp, gulp, gulp *

Misato: Do you like it?

Shinji: Yuck!

The End
