Friendship Forged from Survival

Prologue

Bonds that Last

            The night was cold and rain pelted all that walked in it. Thunder rang out in the dark hellish sky. The street was clear for fear of crashes and the lack of sight. Slowly a figure progressed. Cloaked in a brown cloak this figure walked. Walking feeling a pull from the direction he was walking to. Then lighting flashed and hit the ground right next to the cloaked figure. It lit up the area revealing a sign. Tokyo-3 10000 kilometers, the figure continued to walk into the darkness and as the lighting faded away and the sound of thunder rang out in the night sky the figure was gone into the black night.

            Somewhere else a giant had awoken and had felt the pull of its kin. It walked in the direction that promised the cleansing.

Somewhere in Tokyo-2 2005

            Chibi-Shinji cried. He cried all alone. Sitting and crying in the sandbox, the child had just built a sandcastle and destroyed it then rebuilt it a grueling cycle. Constantly he rebuilt it and demolished it. He had no friends and no one to play with everyone hated him he was an outcast. Night fell and it was cold and the child still was there. Finally the child fell asleep.

            Sometime in the night Shinji heard a giggle.

            "Do you want to play?" Shinji rubbed his eyes and in front of him was a child his size sitting on his knees in the sandbox right next to him. He had sharp hair that naturally stood up but wasn't weird. His eyes were dark brown as his was blue. And the smile the smile that made the darkness of being lonely goes away. Slowly nodding his head Shinji and the child took upon the task of creating the perfect sand castle.

            "See it doesn't matter cause after we make it and it goes away we can make it again and it will be better then before." The little child giggled through his smile. And Chibi-Shinji smiled as well. When they finished they relished upon their creation a perfect castle. Made of sand and friendship. Shinji remembering what his mother used to do introduced himself.

            "I'm Shinji." He held out his hand. The child looked at it questioningly. Then took it and shook it.

            "I'm Thamir. Want to be friends?" the child asked. Shinji nodded his head. Then it happened. Part of the darkness peeled away to be an unholy light. The light appeared in a field far away from the sandbox.

            "They're here. We must leave." The childish voice was gone and a serious mature sage like voice took its place. The little child that looked to be no older then five seemed to beam with knowledge. Shinji was grabbed by the hand and dragged to the eerie light. As he was almost dragged Shinji saw differences that weren't there before. Like how the darkness seemed to chase them, also how the sandbox was so distant it seemed to stretch across the world. And then finally how it seemed like everything was fading. Finally when they reached the light Shinji turned to the boy named Thamir. He was different. He seemed to have pointed ears and his eyes were slightly larger.

            "Let be friends. Come on let's play." Thamir said as Shinji took his hand they stepped through the light.

            The figure was on a mountain overlooking a huge city. Wearing the same cloak the figure was still rained upon. It was dark and the lights of the city seemed to be distant and eerie. Upon the hill the figure stood. It was cold enough that one could see his breath. Darkness seemed to engulf the city. The little lights futilely flickering to stay lit. Here on this mountain the cloaked figure stood. Then a leather-gloved hand came out of the sleeve and reached to where the figure's neck was. The hand uncovered a necklace. The design was beautiful a divine. It had a crystal and two dragons curling to meet at the top the crystal separating the. One dragon was green the other purple yet the stones seemed to be unearthly. And finally the golden chain that was thin but durable from the looks of it. Against the darkness the light given off from the necklace could light the world. Squeezing it in the gloved hand the figure spoke words.

            "I'm back but now what am I supposed to do." The figure spoke. Then that same darkness appeared unholy and right behind the figure. It slowly crept to the back of the figure as if it could take it my surprise. Just about as it was to pounce on the cloaked figure it stopped. Then the figure let loose the grip on the necklace and walked away. The darkness seemed to be cut in half.

            "ATTACK!!" an elf commander yelled. In the ranks were two close friends. One had the deepest blue eyes imaginable the other the deepest brown. Gathering their fighting spirit they both charged into the fray. The attack was doomed to fail. It was almost a suicide mission. They charged forward with a sword of purple and a sword of green. The battle was intense. Lives lost and the fighters that were wounded could not be healed. The enemy never relented and the numbers fell. The enemy was unknown it took shape when it desired too or when it was convenient. The darkness twirled and bubbled. Two friends back to back nowhere to run or hide. These two against an army of darkness and unknowing wit, they were up against an unbeatable force. Two versus a force uncountable, but all was not lost.

            "NOW!" the teen yelled and tossed the green sword to the wielder of the purple. Then he put his hand together and made several signs and motions as the other wielded these two swords and protected him with a deadly dance.

            "Isnu can tuahrtam lagrpatic untamactivc untamiac INSTAPILIO LIGHT!" the incantation complete light bathed the two figures and the sword was sent back to its wielder and the light stunned the dark and the two figures sliced through darkness and emotion. Destroying every single last one of its embodiments. Both were relieved and happy that they escaped with their lives.

            The fight for survival was far from over. In fact it was the first of many battles.

            As the Giant walked slowly to its location it had to finish one act. One act. To split itself and let the case be destroyed, Slowly it walked. The core a shining bright red that was almost blinding. Halfway to its destination it stopped. In the middle of a forest, it halted its movement. Then it happened. The core became like the sun and the light the core made seemed to contort. It then grew smaller and made a form. A figure of light, then that light fell out of the core and landed in the forest and the giant continued on. No longer with a core of shining light but one that looked like mortal blood maybe it was like mortal blood also.

            The cloaked figure walked down. Down to where he was being pulled. Pulled by what he didn't know. Destiny or something else? He walked confidence and grace hidden in each step. The night slowly lifted and he continued to walk. Into the modern metropolis of Tokyo-3, still somehow everything was connected. Somewhere plans on this plain were still on track and the interference was already taken care of. Maybe it was a deity or maybe some careless mistake of destiny and maybe its just coincidence o well.

            Nerv HQ

            "So your son is supposed to be arriving shortly. Are you going to greet him into your humble abode? Or cast him aside." Fuyutsuki said with a bitter tone. Well it was hard to notice but from this point of view I'm letting you know about it. Ok so now be quiet and pretend I never talked on like this.

            "It is already planned. Captain Katsuragi will take him in. It shall all go as planned. Everything. No matter what obstacles may appear." Gendo Ikari stated in a monotone voice.

            Said person was doing something that she needed to get out of her system. It was raining. Not as bad as it was before but now was the best time for her to get a good drive out of her system. Stress was put out by shifting gears and almost hitting the guardrail of the mountain, and her anger by pushing on the accelerator and hearing the engine roar back in response and pull the machine further into a dark abyss of road. The window wipers off, the wind that hit her front window at around 90 mph was enough to keep the rain from blocking her vision. The next turn was high speed and she floored it going down the hill. The car almost flipped off the cliff because of the wet road but some miracle or plan it nimbly readjusted itself and flew past the curve. Turn after turn this went on. Then she saw something that was like déjà vu. Her usual course down the mountain usually had no other cars on it or even people. But something was off. Every time she reached the center of the mountain she saw a figure. So maybe people were out but it seemed like the figure was there before her. Wearing the same thing over and over. Now it was her little game to see if she could overcome this little paranoia and see someone different or the guy running down the side of the hill to appear in the same spot. So she pushed her machine faster, harder, and expected it to do better. Again she saw the figure. A small outline in the dark night, again next time he won't be there. Turn; again, it's a coincidence. Again the guy is getting here before me, on foot. Is he challenging me? Well let him. And the car climbed steadily from 90 to 95 on the straight-aways. Again, and again, he is there before me in the rain. That's it. Ha see I got here before you what. No that's impossible.

            And on she went to the end of her course. After that she had to go report in for her shift. Still wondering whom the hell that person was. And she moved on though somewhere someone was laughing his or her ass off. Who knows who but they found it funny.

            Hey I'm back. Sorry bout all that hubbub and stuff but well lets say this. Say a guy goes into high school. Right he is all fine and dandy. Ok then one day his computer fries. Ok so I got a new comp and all my old stories and progress are lost completely. So I backed off and said screw it. Ok ain't that nice. So now I'm back and trying to fix that mess that I made. So here's the story while I try to get some old stories back up.

            O and if you don't like it well go read something else k bye and if you don't like me well go dominate the world and come and find me then kill me. Ok fine and dandy. So tell me whatcha think k. O and if anyone wants to pick off where I left off on any stories go right ahead cause its gonna take a long time with me doing work and homework.
