Copyright Disclaimer: I own nothing! But in all honesty, Anno doesn't deserve to be the creator of Evangelion.
Author's Notes: I hated both the end of the series and EoE because Anno is a very depressed man and wants to make everyone else depressed like him. So why not get rid of all that crap and add DBZ to make it more interesting? Oh and if Anno reads this, I'd like for him to know that he should have followed up with what he was intending to do during the original story plan of the Neon Genesis series. After seeing the Third Rebuild movie, I've lost all hope and I'm sure the fourth is going to be just as bad or worse. I'm pretty sure that Shinji is going to die at the end. Anno's unpredictable decisions have become predictable. Anyways, enough with my rant and on with the story!
Story Info: This is the continuation of EVA BALL Z since the original author abandoned the story. The pairings are going to be much different than the original author intended. Plus, I had to close a few loop holes here and there. There's not really any action in this chapter. In the next one though there will be.
CHAPTER 2: BEFORE AND AFTERMATH PART ONE
And there he was… floating over a beach shore in front of a red ocean that smelled strongly of LCL and lying not too far ahead was a giant white face with red eyes wide open and a grim smile upon it. That face… it looked so familiar. That's when Shinji realized whom it belonged to! But it couldn't be, could it? Rei Ayanami… there was no mistake that it truly was her face, albeit gigantic and chalk white with no other color upon it, but it was indeed her face. What on earth happened? It all seemed too real and so familiar, yet none of this has even happened to Shinji's knowledge. The next thing he saw shocked him even further. Looking down, Shinji saw his own normal being lying down on the sandy shore next to a seemingly unconscious Asuka Souryu and he was gazing in a state of horror towards a certain direction. Shinji turned his face to see where his parallel self was looking at and to his dismay he saw Rei Ayanami again! This time she was normal-sized with color in her school uniform, yet she seemed to be glowing a faint white while simply standing upon the watery shore. Shinji could see that she was indeed staring back at the parallel Shinji for a split second and quickly disappeared.
"What the hell is going on? I don't understand what's going on, but I feel like I've been here before and it… it should never have turned out like this!"
Shinji looked back down to his other self and to say what he saw next shocked him would be an understatement… he saw him on top of Asuka choking the life out of her! No, no, NO! Shinji would never in his life do such an unspeakable thing. Sure, he didn't like Asuka and he always found her to be so demanding and arrogant and of course she would constantly insult him; but he would never even dream of killing her. Seriously, there was no way that could be Shinji down there! He seemed so weak-willed and somewhat pathetic, despite what was going on.
That was the last straw. Shinji didn't want to see what would happen next, it was just too much. And with that, he let out a guttural roar. "NO! I will not let the world come to this! If this truly is of what's to come then I will not… I WILL NOT STAND FOR THIS! NOT NOW, NOT EVER! AAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
Suddenly, everything went black as Shinji heard his screams echoing throughout the change of scenery.
And just like that he finally awoke to the real world. Shinji felt sweat running through his face as he looked at his surroundings and realized where he was. Since Bulma agreed to let Shinji stay after Cell's demise, he was staying in the guest room of Capsule Corporation for the past couple of days. He then noticed that a bright yellow flame-like aura was running through his bulky form. That's right, his former body was no more since he was now using Broly's as his own. Shinji realized he went super saiyan due his so-called nightmare and decided to power down to his base form.
Looking down at his hand, he thought to himself,
"This dream… it felt so real… are these truly the events of the things that are to come or of what they may become? No, it just doesn't seem likely anymore. After all, the Kais made it loud and clear that it is impossible for me to return to my own world. But still… I wish I had the chance to at least say goodbye to her… Rei. I should've told her what I felt for her, regardless if she didn't feel the same way. I know she may seem to be an emotionless being, but I can tell that she was capable of having feelings and I should've told her mine towards her… Yet, it seems I may never have that chance again. I must accept it though, this is my home now and the people of this Earth need me more than in my own home world. I will gladly fight alongside Goku and the others and maybe… just maybe, I can accept them as my true family in due time. But for now, I will protect this world! Never again will I turn and run away! NEVER AGAIN!"
Shinji looked back down at his hand as he closed it into a tight fist then gazed out the open window. It still seemed to be nighttime and perhaps what Shinji really needed was some fresh air to ease his mind. And with that, he flew out the window and headed towards a rocky beach not too far off.
As he was breathing in the wonderful air from the oceanic breeze, Shinji scanned the area and found it to be completely desolate (Figures, since it was pretty late at night).
Since Shinji figured nobody was there he said to himself, "In two days I will train at the Hyperbolic Time Chamber. I can tell that the enemies will become more and more powerful down the road. So sooner or later, my Legendary Super Saiyan form won't even be enough to stop them. I have to train… it's the only way I can get stronger if I want to keep protecting this Earth and hopefully I can go beyond Legendary Super Saiyan with said training. I know it is possible to ascend to another level and I'm positive that Goku, Vegeta, Trunks and Gohan all have the potential to go beyond as well. Heck, I'm sure one day they will surpass me. Well, at least Goku will… maybe Vegeta if he can ease up on his arrogance. I can only wonder what other Super Saiyan transformations are out there waiting to be achieved. Just thinking about it seems thrilling enough! Funny though… I never thought that I would find a liking to this body, but now I truly feel capable to protect those around me… and I don't even need to pilot an Evangelion to do so and I'm actually relieved I don't have to worry about that anymore."
Come to think of it, Shinji started to wonder whatever happened to his Eva. Ever since the twelfth angel incident he knew that it wasn't only him that got transported through a different plane of existence. He was still synced up to his Eva after the twelfth angel swallowed him whole so it only made sense that it was also sent through another dimensional universe at the same time. It must've been during the process of transportation that they got separated as their molecular structure started to disassemble and realign through the astral planes' course of inter-dimensional existence causing them to go each a separate direction. So the Eva is somewhere out there, but where could it be? Is it in the same dimensional universe as Shinji? Or is it somewhere else? If so, then just like Shinji's home world he has no way of ever seeing it again. Oh well, it might be for the best.
As Shinji finished pounding through his thoughts, he heard faint footsteps gently grazing over the sand behind him. Shinji quickly turned around getting into his fighting stance until he realized exactly whom it was that approached him. What was she doing here? Why was Android 18 here of all places?
To be continued...
Author's Notes: I know this was pretty short, and I'm almost done with the second part and it's much longer and there will be action. I guarantee it, but I would like to know what you guys think? PM or Review.
