Elysium Sentai Evaranger
Disclaimer: I don't not own Neon Genesis Evangelion or Super Sentai.
Author Notes: This is going to be a planned 50 or so "Episode" run much like Super Sentai generally is. However, this depends on response. If this fic does will due to response, I will continue. Now, on to the show.
It was quiet in the streets of Tokyo 3, far more than a city of it's size should be. Even with the emergency sirens blaring, there should be some form of activity. Well there was one person in the city. Shinji Ikari, a new arrival in the city, was inside of a phone booth. Sadly, he was having little luck in getting a hold of anyone.
"Due to the current emergency, all phone services are suspended. We apologize for this inconvenience."
"What is the logic in that! This is freaking stupid!"
Shinji looked at a letter that he was carrying around. Said letter was not in the best shape, being torn and crippled. It possessed one word: Come. With it were instructions to meet a Misato Katsuragi who provided a picture. Said picture had her in a tank top with a arrow pointing at her cleavage and a message "Look at these." Shinji wondered what type of women she was to send such a picture, considering she hopefully was aware of his age.
Before Shinji could think about it further, several military aircraft flew above him. He could only wonder what would require such show of force. Before he could see what was going on, a sports car zoomed in front of him. In fact is was close to actually hitting him. The driver sat up and looked at Shinji.
"Hey there. Are you Shinji Ikari?"
"Umm yeah. You do realize that you almost hit me?"
The driver became wide eyed at the question. And then started to to laugh "Well, sorry about that. I was in kind of a hurry and the highers-up need to get you to your destination, so if would you please get in."
Shinji reluctantly entered the car before it road off like a bat out of hell. The driver looked over to Shinji "I'm Misato by the way. I take it you got the letter telling you to expect me?" Shinji simply nodded "Well then, you must be curious about why your hear?"
That was true. Shinji did want to know why the writer of the letter, his father, wanted to see him. It had been about 3 years since he has seen him and the last time hadn't gone well. Still, his curiosity had gotten the better of him.
"Um Ms Katsuragi, do you know why my father wanted to see me?"
"First, call me Misato. And as for why your dad called you, I don't know. He'll have to explain it. You do know what your father does?"
"No, I haven't seen him in years and he wasn't exactly open about anything."
Misato could relate. Though she didn't know Gendo Ikari long, in that short time she got the impression of him being a extreme introvert who prided himself on his privacy. "Well he happens to be the commander of Nerv, a paramilitary organization."
Shinji was shocked. He didn't realized that his father had that kind of power. Then his mind flashed back to the military craft that passed by him earlier "Um Misato, do you know what was with those aircraft that passed the city earlier"? Misato was silent at first, before turning her gaze back towards Shinji "Well that is a little harder to explain."
Elsewhere, in the headquarters of Nerv, several men in military uniform, generals as a matter of fact, were watching large screen, which was depicting the craft that Shinji had seen earlier. Siting below and in front in them was Gendo Ikari, the Commander of Nerv. Next to him was an elderly gentleman, the Sub-Commander Kozo Fuyutsuki.
All eyes were on the large screen and the progress of the aircraft. The ships finally arrived at their location. There was a large humanoid...thing. The aircraft wasted little time and opened fired with everything they had. After the smoked clear, the creature still stood without a scratch on it. The creature raised it's arm and shot an energy blade which impaled the nearest craft. The creature did the same to several more of the ships until they backed away.
The one of the generals picked up a nearby phone and said one word: "Do it". Just then large object headed towards the creature. Before it could hit, the creature shot out a piece of itself, which headed towards Tokyo 3. The object hit, causing an blinding explosion. The generals were quite happy with the result "See that Ikari. All we needed in the end was a good old fashion N2 rocket."
Gendo Ikari showed no emotion and just sat there, hands folded in front of his face. When the light finally faded, everyone was greeted with a nasty sight: The creature still stood! Gendo Ikari finally responded "Magnify the image". The screen gave a close up of the creature and even worse news was received. The creature was regenerating it's wounds.
The Commander finally spoke "Just as expected. Conventional weapons are useless against the Angels." Fuyutsuki then took the moment to speak "Indeed sir. Apart from its resistance to attack, it has incredible regenerative abilities."
"Of course. Without it, it would need support units to function."
The lead general, finally shaking off his disbelief, stood up and spoke "It would seem that our efforts are for nothing Ikari. We are now leaving things in your hands." Gendo Ikari could only faintly smile at the order. The general continued "We hope you have the capabilities to stop this enemy." The Commander finally rose from his chair to address the generals "Gentlemen, that is why Nerv exists."
Elsewhere, a few miles from Nerv HQ, Misato and Shinji were still on their way. Given that Misato was driving like a complete maniac, Shinji wondered if they'd even make it to their destination "Um Misato, you might want to slow down a little bit." Misato playfully laughed at the suggestion "Oh don't worry, I'm an excellent driver. Besides, we need to get there as soon as possible". Understandably, Shinji was more than a little skeptical.
After entering a large tunnel, they arrived at their destination, a large underground cave, which seemed to contain it's own ecosystem. In the center of it was a large pyramid structure. Shinji became wide eyed at the sight of the place.
"Wow, is this a real Geofront?!"
"That's right. This is Nerv HQ."
The two finally made to the entrance of the pyramid. After getting in, they wandered about a bit. In fact that wandered to the point of being counterproductive. It became clear that the two of them were lost.
Elsewhere in the HQ, a woman was swimming it what appeared to be a large pool of yellow liquid. She got the edge of the pool and picked up a nearby ringing phone "I'm here...She's lost again isn't she?"
Misato and Shinji were still wandering around when they came to door. Before they could open it, the woman from the pool, Ritsuko Akagi, opened it. She didn't have the most welcoming look "You got lost again, didn't you?" Shinji was awestruck.
"You mean she works here and yet she has gotten lost multiple time!?"
"Hey, this is like the 3rd time it's happened."
Suddenly Shinji lost what little confidence in what he had in Misato to do what ever job she had. Speaking of which...
"Misato, what is your job at Nerv?"
"Oh, I guess I didn't tell you. I'm Captain and Chief of Military Operations."
Suddenly Shinji's face turned white. The person who was in charge of Military Operations got lost in her own base 3 times. Shinji was seriously having second thoughts about this situation in light of this revelation, when Akagi addressed him "Hello there, I'm Dr. Ritsuko Akagi.. I'm the head of the Science Division here. I take it your Shinji Ikari?" Shinji simply nodded "Well then follow me. I assure you that unlike some people, I know my way around." Misato quickly stuck out her tongue at Ritsuko.
Elsewhere in Tokyo 3, the piece that the angel had launched had landed and was starting to pulsate. After a few minutes, parts of the object dropped off, stirred a bit and then began to take humanoid shape.
After taking a lift, the trio came to a darkened room. Shinji was panicking at how dark it was "Hey turn on the lights in here!" Someone apparently listened as the light came on, but Shinji wished they hadn't, as when they did, he was face to face with a giant red humanoid "Its a..a.a.a giant robot!"
Akagi first addressed the panicing teenager "Indeed. This is Eva Unit 1. It is what is going to help save mankind." Shinji was shocked at the scope of this "And this is what my father has been working on?"
"Correct. It has been a ling time, Shinji."
Everyone looked up at the origin of who said that and saw that it was Gendo Ikari. Shinji was the first to speak "Yes it has father. Why have you asked me here?" It was Misato who answered him "Well the thing is, you were brought here to pilot this." Shinji briefly looked at the this, the large robot, and they back at his father "You don't contact me for nearly 3 years and out of the blue you call me all the way out here to pilot a machine, a giant robot at that, without any training!?" What that hell is wrong with you?!'
"We better not tell him about the other thing."
Shinji turned towards Misato, who apparently was not as quite as she should have been and addressed her "What other thing?" Misato was on the spot "Um, well you see the Eva Unit is a second stage. The first stage is this." Akagi went over to terminal and brought up a image of some kind of suit. It looked like is was designed with combat, with some kind of sidearm, several input ports and a visor-ed helmet. Akagi turned back towards Shinji "This is a hazardous combat suit. We refer to it as the Evaranger suit." Shinji was both afraid and intrigued.
Back in Tokyo 3, the pod object has finished it's task and the parts of it formed human shaped creatures. The were all white and black, no facial features with the exception of eyes and their hands ran the gambit of simple claws to sword and ax like blades. The creature began attacking anything and anyone in the immediate area. All anyone could do was panic and get out of the line of fire.
At the same time at Nerv HQ, the alarms went off. The screens began showing the events happening in the city. Commander Ikari looked towards Akagi "It would appear that our assessment of the angels not having support units was false. Prepare to move out!" Misato was shocked by this "Wait Rei isn't fulling recovered from the sync tests. Wait, you don't mean to use Shinji!?" "Yes" was all the commander said.
Shinji was shocked that he was brought here to fight something that had him use battle suits and giant robots and his father didn't care about him otherwise "I can't do this! I've never seen anything like this! It can't be done!"
Commander Ikari showed no sign of responding. Before anyone could say anything else, Fuyutsuki buzzed the comm "Commander, the situation is already getting out of hand. The local authorites aren't doing well." Commander Ikari pushed the out bound button to respond " Fuyutsuki, the replacement it useless. Bring it Rei."
"Can we use her?"
"She isn't dead yet."
A few minutes later, a young girl came into view. She was heavy bandaged. Shinji noted her odd appearance. She had blue hair and red eyes or at least one as the other was bandaged. The girl was having trouble getting over towards the three of them. Shinji was rather unconformable looking at the girl as she painfully walked. He could believe that his father was going to put her in God knows what situation in the condition she was in. Shinji hung his head down and said only 3 words "I'll do it".
Minutes later, Misato, Akagi and Shinji were in transit as Akagi was going over when Shinji needed to do. She was holding some kind of device. It was silver with a red gem in the upper part of it and possessing several buttons "Ok Shinji, this is the soul changer. To activate the suit, pull this switch here and press the red button." Shinji made sure he paid attention, but was curious about were the suit was. He decided not to ask as he was already overwhelmed by all this.
The car got to where they needed to be as the occupants saw a terrifying site: White colored monsters destroying and attacking everything around them. Shinji was scared at the site and Misato and Akagi would be lying if they said that they weren't. Still they knew they had a job to do.
Akagi handed the Soul Changer to Shinji "Alright, this is it. Misato and I will be here to support you." Shinji took the Soul Changer and strapped it to his wrist and walked over to the monsters. He looked back and saw Misato give him the thumbs up. She immediately turned to Akagi "He is going to get his ass kicked." Akagi gave agreeing looked towards her "We have no choice. If we can't stop something like these creatures, we certainly won't last against an angel. Still I would like to know why the angel would need such creatures."
Shinji walked over to the creatures. If they knew he was there, they gave no indication. Shinji looked at the Soul Changer and figured "Well, better get this over with."
Soul Awaken
In a flash of red light, Shinji was enveloped in a red suit. He looked at himself and was astonished " Did that just happen?! Is this really me?!"
"Yeah it is Shinji. Now show them who's boss."
Unfortunately, Shinji's transformation, plus Misato's load words of encouragement got the monster's attention as they headed towards Shinji. The creatures charged towards Shinji, who panicked and held up his arms. One of creatures got close enough to strike, only for Shinji to hit him. What was shocking was that the creature was flying across the area and into a building. The creatures were shocked as were Misato and Akagi "Well Ritsuko, looks like the suit performs better than expected." Akagi could only nod at the statement.
Shinji fought, well not fought so much as flawed about, the creatures. He wasn't doing so well and he knew it, so he went for the gun sidearm. Luckily, the creatures were close enough for the inexperienced Shinji to hit most of his targets.
Akagi realized that this had to be finished "Shinji, press the buttons of your Soul Changer. They'll summon your Heaven Sword." Shinji did as he was told and a large, wide sword with red handle and hilt. Shinji began aggressively slashing the creatures. His attacks were crude, but effective. Shinji then noticed that the sword had buttons as well and pressed one. The sword charged with a red glow. Shinji had a feeling about what it meant and charged a the monsters.
Heaven's Slash
Shinji hit all the creatures with a large glowing red blade. The monsters screamed and then exploded. Shinji walked over to Misato and Akagi and powered down. Misato looked at Shinji "Well, how do you feel?" Shinji's response: Fainting. Misato knelled down to see if he was ok, with Akagi responding "Our Evared everybody."
Back at Nerv, Gendo Ikari was sitting at his desk, having observed the events unfolding. He showed no emotion, no sign or any kind. In the end, he had only one response "And so the plan begins"
