The alarm sounded in the empty city. On this bright and peaceful day no one was out, they were all in shelters. A large creature swam toward the Japanese shore. Military tanks and helicopters were standing ready for the creature to rise from the water. Despite this danger and the announcement to hide there were two people above ground; a boy of fourteen and a woman of twenty nine. They were both looking for one another.
The boy tried calling the woman on a pay phone but it was down due to the evacuation notice."Damn," he said, "guess we wont be meeting here. Wonder if I should find a shelter?"
Just then he looked up the street and saw a girl with blue hair. A group of birds flew off to his upper right and his eyes focused on them. When he looked back the girl was gone. A strong wind blew around his and shook power lines. It came from the helicopters. They were attacking the giant creature.
One of the helicopters was taken down and fell near were Shinji was."Oh crap!" he yelled as it fell. Even worse was the monster then stepped on the helicopter and caused it to explode. When it did Shinji jumped back with his arms covering his face for protection. "Shit!" he yelled. A car pulled in front of him.
"Get in." said the woman he was looking for with the door open. "I'm not too late am I?"
The two of them drove away to get away from the monster and its destruction. After getting a good distance away they stopped to see the monster being lured away by the military. Misato leaned out Shinji's window and her breasts were close to his face, but he didn't have time to think about that.
"What are they doing? Crap there going to use a N-2 mine. GET DOWN!"
They ducked inside the car and the bomb exploded rolling the car several meters back. The car was on its side and they both sat with their heads out looking at the explosion which enveloped the monster. When the force of the bomb subsided Shinji and Misato got out of the car and went to the top, which was now the side, and put their backs against it.
"Ready?" said Misato. "Push." They heaved and flipped the car back onto its wheels. "Thanks Shinji, your pretty useful."
"Thank you Ms. Katsuragi."
"Misato's fine." They got back in the car and drove off.
Misato had her little episode about her ruined car and dress and Shinji interrupted her.
"Misato?"
"Huh? Yeah?"
"Those batteries, isn't that theft?"
"Yeah well it was an emergency, and we needed a working car so. Anyway I work for the government so everything will be alright."
"I don't think anyone will buy that excuse at all."
"Hmm, you know.. You should say something like, no these are mine, you never know when you might need replacements, or something."
"I don't think that will work either."
"Sounds better than your excuse."
Shortly after Misato and Shinji arrived at NERV.
"NERV? Always thought that was a strange name."
"Yeah this is were your father works." she replied ignoring the last part of his statement.
"Are we going to see my father?"
"Yeah, don't you know what he does?"
"No, and I don't care… yet."
"I see. Did your father give you and I.D. card?"
"Yeah," Shinji shuffled through his bag, " here."
"Thanks. And this is yours." She handed him the NERV manual.
"Huh? What am I going to be working for my father?"
"You don't get along with your father do ya? Sounds just like me."
Misato and Shinji rode the car train the rest of the way down into NERV. Shinji was intrigued about the Geofront but figured if he was working for his father he'd see it again. Or at the very least see it on the way out. Shinji and Misato walked around NERV head quarters for sometime as Misato he no idea where she was going. Eventually they went to get out of an elevator and were met by Dr. Ritsuko Akagi.
"Uh uh.. Hi Ritsuko."
"Damn it don't you know we're short on time and short on man power. You can't be wasting my time like this."
"So, sorry."
Ritsuko lead them to a motorized path to their destination and she spoke while Shinji continued to read the manual. She spoke of activating unit One and about its low chance of working, and its title the ONI system. Ritsuko lead Shinji and Misato into a room were the only light came from the door being open. When it closed it was completely dark.
Shinji looked up from the manual, "Huh? Why no lights?" he asked calmly. When they came back on he was face to face with Eva unit One. "Wow. There's something kinda new, a giant robot with a face. Is this my father's work?"
"Correct."
"This is mankind's greatest weapon known as Evangelion, Unit One." said Ritsuko.
"Wait!" Interjected Misato. "Your going to use unit one? But we don't have a pilot. Rei's not ready yet is she?"
"We do have a pilot. One was just delivered to us."
"Your kidding it took Rei Ayanami seven months to synchronies with her Eva and he JUST GOT HERE!"
"Wait hold on." Shinji interrupted. "You want me to pilot that thing and fight that other big monster out there?"
"Correct." answered his father.
"Great. I don't see you years and you put me into a fight, just great."
"Shinji." said Ritsuko. "You have to pilot it. This Eva is humanities last hope."
"That may be, but I don't even know what this thing is, how do you expect me to pilot it?"
"You will be instructed." said Gendo.
"No wait hold on." Shinji said as he put his thumb and first two fingers on his nose, a small habit he had, "There are other pilots right, I mean I'm the third child. What about one and two?"
"We don't have the second child and the first is out of commition at the moment." replied Ritsuko.
"If you wont pilot the Eva than leave." Said Gendo.
"Who's the first child?" asked Shinji.
"A girl by the name of Rei Ayanami. She was hurt in the last test of the Eva. There's no way she can pilot." said Misato.
Shinji again put his three fingers against his nose. "Wow what a pain. Ok. Just tell me how to get in the damn thing."
Outside the angel was blasting Tokyo-3 trying to make its way into the Geofront. The base shook and toppled things over inside the Eva cage. Shinji sat in the entry plug of the Eva and it was lowered into the massive bio-robot monster. When inserted a liquid started to fill the compartment and Shinji took and held a deep breath.
"It's ok," said Ritsuko, "when your lungs are saturated with LCL your blood will be oxygenated directly."
Shinji let go of his breath. "Tell me that to start. Last time I was in a small space and it filled with water someone was trying to kill me."
The Evangelion was prepared and the safety locks were released. Doctor Akagi and here assistant Maya were amazed at Shinji's start sync ratio with Eva unit one. When everything was ready the Eva was loaded onto the platform. Misato yelled, "Launch Eva!" and it shot up to the surface of Tokyo-3 where the angel was.
"Don't die Shinji." Misato said quietly.
