It was an ordinary sunny day in Tokyo. The birds were singing, the children playing in the park and the people trying to get on with their lives. Amongst the people, a boy with messy brown hair, green eyes and filth on his face, wearing a crumpled red shirt, a pair of jeans with a hole in the right knee, a pair of trainers with the laces missing in one of them and a brown leather jacket, was sitting down just trying to survive. It was hard when everyone who walked past ignored him.

"Juroroachi Keitaro?" came a gruff voice above him.

The boy looked up at the person talking to him. It was one of those government agents dressed in black with the sunglasses.

"Yes?" his voice was relatively deep, even though he was only sixteen.

"I need you to come with me please." replied the agent. Keitaro gave a small laugh. "What for? Am I in trouble?" he said sarcastically. The agent pulled out a badge that said in big blue letters, NERV "I'm from NERV. I need you to come with me." Keitaro got up and started walking away. "Sorry, not interested." The agent grabbed his arm. "Hey! Let go!" He tried struggling, but the agent had a tight grip.

"Joroshi! Let go off him!" came a feminine voice. The agent let go. Keitaro had a look to see who told the goon to let go off him. Surprisingly it was a woman. She looked young and pretty. She had shortish brown hair with eyes to match. She was wearing a military uniform that donned a badge that said NERV. "Sorry about him, he has a short temper." She said, her voice was soft, but had an air of authority. "It's okay. So. you're from NERV." said Keitaro. The woman was surprised to hear that. "How do you know about NERV?" she asked. "Oh, my mother worked there. till the bitter end." his voice turned upset. "Oh. yes. Dr. Juroroachi. She was an incredible scientist." replied the woman. She held her hand out for a handshake. "I'm Hikaru." He quickly snapped back into his senses "Oh, err. nice to meet you. I'm."he was cut off. ".Keitaro?" asked Hikaru. "Err. yeah. How did you." he was cut short again by a rumbling. The telephone wires above him waving about, making a whistling noise. "What was that?" his hand was grabbed by Hikaru and he was dragged to a nearby car. "I'm sorry, but there's no time to explain." hastily said Hikaru, getting into the driver's seat. Keitaro looked out the back window as the car drove away, then he saw it. His jaw dropped as he saw the 'giant' loom out from behind a building. It had black skin, the body and limbs were quite bulky, it had spikes producing from it's back, there were silts in it's top of it's wrists and it's head was long and pointy. "What in the hell is that!?!" shouted Keitaro. "I'm afraid we don't have any time to explain. Wait till we get to NERV." Hikaru said back. They drove into a tunnel leading underground and entered a garage. The car swerved into a parking space with a shriek. Hikaru opened her door and Keitaro followed behind her. She walked him down a corridor and a flight of stairs before finally stopping at a door that said 'Docking Bay'. They entered the room and it was pitch black inside. "Lights please!" shouted Hikaru. The lights came straight away. Keitaro turned around and saw the most amazing thing he'd ever seen. It was a gigantic robot with a red paintjob, it had green tanks on it's arms and legs and on a horn on it's head. Keitaro took a look at the face of this robot. It had teeth and the eyes were narrow and green. An ordinary person would have been terrified of it, but Keitaro found it. soothing. "This is the ultimate weapon, the Close Combat Prototype; The Devil Evangelion." said Hikaru with some pride. Keitaro looked at it for a couple of seconds. "So, lemme guess. You're going ask me to."

"Pilot it?" a voice rang out from the top of the room. Keitaro looked up and saw where the voice came from. It was a man with black hair and green eyes. He was wearing the same uniform as Hikaru, yet he had an even bigger air of authority than Hikaru. "Ah, Commander. Keitaro, this is the Supreme commander of NERV. Commander Ishi." The commander gave a nod and then said. "It's good to see you've found him at last, Lieutenant." Then Keitaro blurted out "Wait, you're asking me to pilot this thing?" he still couldn't get over the shock. The commander looked at him "That's right. You might have seen the creature in the city, correct?" Keitaro nodded and the commander continued "That creature, which we have codenamed the Angel, is an alien being. Unfortunately, we do not know why it is attacking us, but we must defend ourselves. The Evangelion was originally built for the Global War, but this is a bigger threat." He finished and then Keitaro said his bit. "So. why me? Why am I to pilot this 'thing'?"

"Maybe, I, should answer that question." yet another voice rang out, this time from Keitaro's left. It was a woman with blonde hair and blue eyes, wearing a white coat like a scientist's. "You see, you are the only one who can pilot the Evangelion, because you have a special brain wave similar to the Evangelion's, meaning you can control it with ease." she straightened her glasses when she finished. "Keitaro, this Head of Research, Dr Toragotchi." said Hikaru sounding a bit reluctant to say her name. "Now hang on. Isn't there anyone else who can do this, besides me?"

"Huh! Typical of a guy! Too afraid to do anything that means lifting a finger!" this got Keitaro's attention and turned swiftly to where the voice came from. "Hey! Now listen." he stopped and his anger faded as he saw a girl with shortish red hair and blue eyes. She looked about his age and was very pretty; she was also wearing a red dress. "What. are you looking at?" *Slap!* "Ow! What was that for!?!" he asked rubbing his face where he had been slapped. "That's the payment for staring." she replied with a smirk. "Really?" asked Keitaro "Then slap me again, I want to stare some more." he finished with a grin. The girl was taken back by the confidence of this boy. "Ahem! I believe we were talking about the fact we need you pilot the Evangelion. not flirting with my daughter!" reminded the commander. "Oh yeah, my answer is, no!" said Keitaro, his mood suddenly changing again. "Fine then. Eve? Suit up and get ready to pilot the Eva." said Ishi, his eyes turned to the girl. "Eve? That's a weird name for someone living in Japan." Thought Keitaro. "Wait? You're sending her in? But I thought I was the only one who could pilot this robot." he asked, confused. "I didn't say you were the only one." The building started to shake unexpectedly. "Dammit! It's found us! The Angel has found us!" shouted Hikaru, clenching her fists. The commander put on a grim face, but still took control of the situation. "Doctor! Lieutenant! Go to the Command room and prepare the Evangelion for launch! Eve, go to the locker room and get ready." Eve started to walk for he door, while Hikaru and the Doctor ran through the other door. Keitaro heard a creek and looked in Eve's direction. The walkway was starting to give away. It fell and so did Eve. She screamed as she fell, but she stopped. She looked up and saw Keitaro holding her wrist. "Hold on." He grunted. He pulled her up and fell on the walkway beside her. "You okay? He asked. "I. think so." she said trying to get up. "Gah! My leg!" she grunted in pain. There was a huge cut on her leg. "Great! Now how am I supposed to pilot the Eva?" she asked herself holding her leg, trying to stop the blood pouring out. "Stay here. I'll pilot it." she looked up in disbelief at Keitaro. "Wha! But you haven't had any training!" she told him hysterically. He held her by the cheeks and kissed her firmly on the lips. "Don't worry. I've got luck on my side." He turned around and looked up at Ishi. "Put me in that thing! I'll pilot it!" he shouted. The commander smiled and said "Your mother would be proud!" Keitaro smiled back. "So, you knew my mother?" "Yes, I did. This Evangelion is her creation." answered the commander.

Keitaro was sitting inside the Evangelion, in a sort of pod they called the Pilot Pod. It had a couple of joysticks either side of him and various screens that showed relative data. He was dressed in a sort of suit much like a driving suit, but had pieces of machinery on it, apparently they called it the Neural Suit. He was waiting for the Devil Eva to be unlocked and launched.

"Is the pilot ready?" asked Dr Toragotchi.

"Yes, ma'am the pilot is ready and his wave patterns are normal." said a com. tech known as Roshi Karga. He was a young man is his early twenties. He had brown hair and blue eyes. He was wearing a technician uniform with the usual NERV badge. "His? I thought Eve was piloting the Devil Eva." she was confused now.

"I think Eve's been hiding something from us, don't you think?" asked another com. tech known as Ichigo Yama, who had a big grin on her face. She was a young woman also in her early twenties, she had long (oddly enough) purple hair and brown eyes and was wearing the same uniform as Roshi, who couldn't stop laughing because of her joke, also Hikaru was trying to prevent herself from laughing. "Excuse me! Can we hurry up!" a voice came through the comm. link. It was Keitaro. "Oh, I guess he changed his mind." said the doctor surprised. "Okay then. Keitaro? We're ready!" she turned of her comm. link to Keitaro and grabbed a comm. speaker. "Begin the Launch Sequence!" Roshi started typing on his keyboard, so did Ichigo. "Beginning the launch sequence! Removing the primary locks!" shouted Roshi, still typing. "Locks released. Removing the walkway." said Ichigo, also still typing. "Removing the secondary locks! C.L pipes detaching. C.L pressure normal." Roshi said moving to a different computer. "Moving Evangelion to launch pad! The pilot's Sync Level is. 10.5!" said Ichigo with some disbelief. "10.5! How's that possible? Ace fighter pilots only got a 2! Unless. he have found him." Said Dr Toragotchi "But, he's only a boy." thought Hikaru. "Evangelion is ready for launch. The Angel is right above us!" cried Roshi. "Right, flood the Pilot Pod!" commanded the doctor.

Inside the Devil Eva, Keitaro was taking a quick nap, but was waked up by the sound of running water. He opened his eyes and saw red liquid pouring in from the sides. "What the hell! What the fuck's going on!?!" he shouted into the comm. link, as the liquid crawled up his legs. "Don't worry Keitaro." The soothing voice of Hikaru came through on the comm. link. "That's the N.C.F. Neural Connection Fluid. It connects your mind to the Eva. Don't worry, it's being oxygenised, so you can breathe in it." The red liquid submerged him completely, he allowed himself to breathe, and he could breathe perfectly. "Wow. Hey, this stuff kinda' smells like blood."

"Blood?" asked Hikaru. Nobody noticed her say that. "Launch the Eva in 3.2.1. Eva Launch!" she shouted ignoring what she said.

The Eva rocketed up the hatch of the Launch Bay. Keitaro was struggling under the G-Force, but luckily he arrived on the surface before the blood rushed to his head. There he was, in the middle of the city, his opponent just coming into sight and facing him. The Angel looked at this new thing curiously.

"Remove the final locks and activate the Evangelion!" commanded Hikaru. Roshi typed on the keyboard and gasped. "One of the locks is jammed!"

He was right. The bolts on one of the locks wouldn't move. Keitaro was stuck. The Angel reared a claw back, ready to strike the Eva. It lunged its claw.

Hikaru closed her eyes. "I. don't believe it." she heard Dr Toragotchi say. She opened her eyes. She saw the Devil Eva, with its eyes lit up, holding the Angel's claw. "It's. activated on it's own." she said in disbelief.

The Eva connected a kick to the Angel's stomach, sending it sliding back. "Well, now that that's taken care off, someone disconnect me from this platform, please." The bolts on the lock strained, but finally came loose and detached, letting Devil Eva go. "Right! Time to party! Take this!" He lunged the Eva forward with its fists clenched. The Angel got up and a sword like weapon shot out from the slit on one of its wrists. It waited for it's enemy to get closer and when that happened, it shoved the blade through the Eva's head, right between the eyes. Keitaro screamed in pain. The Angel kicked it's opponent into a building. 'Blood' gushed out the wound and the Devil Eva stopped moving. Keitaro cringed in pain with his hands on his head, where the Eva had been struck.

"Damage report!" shouted Hikaru. "The head has been severely damaged! We've got massive blood loss! And the connection between the Eva and the pilot has been damaged!" cried Roshi in hysteria.

Keitaro couldn't move, he was in so much pain.

"Get up!"

The pain went. He looked up, but saw nothing.

"Fight!"

There it was again, it sounded like a woman's voice. He remembered hearing that voice before, but just couldn't remember where he had heard it.

"Defeat your enemy!"

He grabbed the controls and closed his eyes, then opened them again, he was going to fight, even if he died in the process. He felt a sudden pulse of energy and realized what it was. Anger.

"My god. doctor. his Sync Level is at. 20." said Roshi in disbelief. Toragotchi's eyes opened in shock and fear. "Oh my god. Berserker." she said quietly. Hikaru suddenly turned to look at her, she'd never seen her so scared before.

Devil Eva's eyes lit up, but they weren't green, they were red, red as fire. It slowly got up, it's mouth tore open and let out a blood chilling roar, that echoed around the city. The Angel stood back in fear, but then forgot its fear. It charged at the Devil Eva and lunged its sword weapon. The Devil Eva caught it with its hand and twisted the Angel's wrist, a satisfying meaty crunch was heard. It must of broke it. The Eva growled and pulled the arm of the Angel, pulling it into the bent knee of the Eva. The spiked armour on the knee of the Eva pierced the lower torso of the Angel. Then it connected a punch to the Angel, sending it into a building. Its sword hand was missing. The Devil Eva held the tore off hand and threw it to the ground. It charged, roaring loudly and jumped at the Angel, who lifted its remaining hand and a white barrier appeared. The Devil Eva crashed against it.

"It's an A-Field!" cried Dr. Toragotchi. "Devil Eva's E-Field has just activated! The wave pattern is abnormal though!" shouted Roshi, turning around on his chair. "He's going to manipulate his E-Field."

The Devil Eva spanned out its arm, a red sheet of light appeared around it and folded into the shape of a blade. It swiped its new weapon against the angel's A-Field, which split in two and faded. The Eva roared and set on its 'as good as dead' opponent.

Keitaro's eyes slowly opened. "Where. am I?" he asked himself. The room in question was unfamiliar. He stared at the white ceiling, then he heard the door open. Eve, the girl from before, entered the room. She had a bandaged leg from where she had cut it before. "So, how you doing?" she asked. "Okay, I guess. My head won't stop spinning though." He replied with a little weakness in his voice. "Ah, don't worry about that, it'll wear off soon." She said pulling a chair up to the bed Keitaro was lying on. "Hey, wait. I'm in the hospital." his head had stopped spinning at last. "Yeah, you passed out after the battle ended. A little wimpy if you ask me." she said with a smile. Keitaro gave out a small laugh. "Oh, by the way. About that kiss." he said. "Yeah? What about it?" she asked back. "Why didn't slap me afterwards or resist? Did you enjoy it?" he asked with a grin. She blushed and snapped back "No! I.. was just. in so much pain. I didn't have the strength to do anything." she just blushed some more. "Come on. Admit it. You liked it, didn't you?" he asked getting up. She didn't answer. "Huh, knew it." he finished and laid back down. "Anyway, I've being told to tell you that you'll be moving in with me and Hikaru." "Two girl roommates! Cool!" he interrupted. ".and my brother." she finished. "Oh. still, two girl roommates and me, plus someone else." she sighed, then stood up off the chair and walked for the door. "Hey, you will visit me again, won't you?" he asked, sounding concerned. "Depends." she said that, then walked out the door. Keitaro laid back down and thought to himself, did someone up 'there' like him?
