Battlestar Evangelion
This is what happens when I get bored: I take a look at stories throughout the site, see how they are, bitch about them in the privacy of my home and come up with stories of my own. It also keeps my brain from stopping so I can keep writing. Once again, this is one of my many attempts at an Eva story, but this time, I am unleashing the wrath of the Children on the Cylons. And I want to you all to picture the looks on SEELE's faces when Unit-01 and the Kids just up and vanish rather then cause Third Impact. I know I am, and it pleases me to no end just to picture the gaping looks on Keel's and Gendo's faces. The pairings are Battlestar Canon, (Adama/Roslin and such) Shinji/Asuka/Rei (For some reason, I have the temptation to pair all three of them up together. I'm not resisting it) and Toji/Hikari. (Don't ask) The opening is the end of End of Evangelion, (referred to as EoE hereafter) which I believe happened after the last episode of Neon-Genesis Evangelion. (Referred to as NGE hereafter)
Shinji awoke from the mindfuck that was his Instrumentality and made his choice.
'I will NOT choose that! I don't care if people hurt me, as long as it's real!'
Then he thought of Asuka, Rei and all those he thought of as his friends: Toji Suzuhara, nearly killed by Unit-01, Kensuke Aida, who wanted to pilot an Eva, Hikari Horaki, the girl who loved the sports-lover Toji, Misato, Kaji and all the others he knew.
And his absolute HATE over what he had just learned about the plans of his father and the council that controlled NERV.
"Father! SEELE! I reject you! I reject your plans! You can all GO TO HELL!"
At that moment, Shinji's eyes flashed red.
He was one with the Evangelion now: even if he left the armored shell, its' power was at his command no matter what.
"YOU HEAR ME?! GO TO HELL!"
Chamber of the Council of the Seven Eyes
Lorenz Keel seethed at what he saw.
"One boy. Decades of planning, and ONE FUCKING 15-YEAR OLD BRAT ruins EVERYTHING!"
His fist slammed on the table.
"Not all is ruined! Once we recover the Lance-"
Keel looked at SEELE 13.
"Do you realize what the boy is doing?! He is taking the MP Evangelions into a Dirac Sea! Once there, they cannot perform Third Impact and commence Instrumentality! The plan, so long in its' coming, ruined in one day by one BRAT!"
Keel flew into a rage, screaming his rage at anyone or thing that would listen.
If there was anything he could be happy about, it was that Gendo Ikari, the brat's father, wouldn't be seeing his plan come to terms, either.
Tokyo-3: NERV GHQ
Gendo watched as his son destroyed any hope of seeing his beloved Yui ever again.
"DAMN YOU, IKARI! DAMN YOU TO THE DEEPEST PITS OF HELL!"
"Oh, no one's getting damned but YOU, Commander."
A USP .45 was placed to the back of the Commander's head.
It was held by an angry Maya Ibuki.
Gendo quickly realized his situation: his right hand was gone, he had no gun and everything was going straight to hell.
"Fuck."
Maya then pulled the trigger, killing the Bastard King.
In orbit: Evangelion Unit-01
The MP Evas were dragged into the Dirac Sea created by Unit-01.
At that moment, though, somehow, Rei had entered the Eva's entry plug.
'How? She was merged with Lilith!'
Then he realized why: he was in complete control.
He pulled her out of Lilith's body/soul.
Then Asuka came to mind.
'Oh, God, I left her there to die!'
As if on cue, Asuka then materialized in the plug, unhurt and untouched. 'We can't stay. If we do, SEELE will just try again.'
He knew they would understand.
Asuka would hate it, Rei wouldn't care, but he knew, somehow, that they would understand.
He hugged the two women in his life that meant more to him then his own.
Rei, an perverted (not in the sexual way) clone of his mother and Lilith, who was made to bring husband and wife back together while killing off the entire planet in the process.
Asuka, the fragile girl that hated showing her weaknesses and hid them under a shell of bravado, but who loved Shinji as he loved her back.
They were important.
And not because of the Evas.
Shinji held the two girls close to him, unwilling to let them come to harm ever again, as the MP series Evas fell into the Dirac Sea he created.
Now it was their turn.
The Lance of Longinus couldn't stay.
Unit-01 couldn't stay.
And Shinji couldn't stay.
He needed to leave for the safety of everyone on Earth.
He needed, as much as he despised it, to run away.
This time, though, he was not going to be alone.
Unknown Location
Shinji woke in a dark place: a corridor made of metal.
"Unfamiliar ceiling..."
He looked and found Asuka and Rei, who were naked on the deck, holding onto one another subconsciously for warmth.
He experimentally tried creating an AT-field, and much to the Third Child's surprise, an octagonal shield formed in front of him.
The shock defused it, but Shinji knew now that he could defend himself.
He was like Kaworu now, but he was still himself.
Still human, just with the power to use his AT-field.
Although, when you thought about it, that was the only difference between the Angels and humans.
Kaworu proved they could take human form if they so wished.
He shook his head.
This wasn't the time to think about that.
He needed to make sure Asuka and Rei were OK, find out where the hell they were and-Shinji blinked as he heard gunfire and screaming.
'Not this shit again...'
The sound of metal meeting metal was heard, and it was getting closer. A hatch opened and in came a massive robot. (AN: Do I HAVE to describe a modern Cylon Centurion? Honestly, if you're a fan if the series, you know what the big bastards look like!)
Two more entered the hall, and all three looked at Shinji before deploying the guns on their arms. Shinji glanced at the two girls on the deck, then glared at the robots.
"Fuck you."
They opened fire, but Shinji deployed an AT-field to stop the bullets from even hitting him and the girls that came with him.
They stopped, and all three looked at one another, as if saying 'what the fuck just happened?'.
Shinji then pressed the robots up against the wall with the AT-field, disabling them by crushing their power cables.
"What the frak?!"
He looked to see a squad of men and women looking at him.
"How the hell did you do that?!"
He shook his head.
"I...can't tell you. How many more of these things are there?"
That got them moving again.
"Frak! Get your asses down to Aft Damage Control!"
"Yes, sir!"
The Marines ran off.
"Kid, you're going to need to get some clothes. And godsdamn, you smell!"
It was only then that Shinji discovered that he was covered in dried LCL.
"Shinji?"
He looked at Asuka, who was waking up.
"Don't try to move."
She nodded, knowing that he was worried that anything those damned MP series bastards did to her might've been transferred to her body.
It had happened to Shinji far too many times to count, and seeing Shinji come back like that sickened her.
Asuka looked at him.
The boy was naked, just like she was.
But he was no pervert and both of them knew that, especially after Instrumentality, so she was more comfortable being naked near him now.
"Where are we? And why the hell is it so dark?"
They both heard a moan and looked at the blue-haired source.
"What the hell? Wasn't she-"
"I thought the same thing." Rei opened her eyes.
"Ikari-kun?" "We're here, Ayanami."
He helped her up.
"This seems...familiar."
Shinji REALLY wanted to forget that day now.
"Familiar?"
Asuka, thanks to Instrumentality, knew exactly what Rei was talking about.
While it was an accident, (and they all knew it) she was not happy about Rei being the first girl Shinji ever touched.
"You owe me, Shinji."
He pulled Asuka up, noting that she was fine: no scarring, no open wounds.
"We need to find a safe place. There's something here."
Asuka noted the destroyed robots.
"How the hell did you do that?"
Shinji shook his head.
"An AT-field. I don't know how, but I used an AT-field."
Rei blinked.
"Gravity is different."
Asuka looked at Rei.
"What?"
"I am...lighter then before. And it is not because I have lost weight. The gravity is artificial. We can not on Earth."
Asuka blinked.
"Artificial gravity? We don't-"
"I'm responsible for this."
Both looked at Shinji.
"Come again?"
"I didn't want those bastards back home to use the Evas to cause another Impact, so...I brought us here. I-"
"You did NOT run away. What you did was save everyone on Earth. AGAIN."
Asuka let out a breath.
"At least the Bastard King can't fuck with your head here. Wherever HERE is."
All three shuddered, as it was a bit cold.
"We should...find someone that has clothes. What's the word? Quartermaster?"
"That's for a ship."
Shinji chuckled.
A very open change for him.
"I think we're on a ship. Those guys said 'Aft Damage Control' before they ran off."
"Right."
Meanwhile...
Captain Leland Joseph Adama was NOT having a good day.
First, one of his pilots was killed. Second, he nearly got killed by a Cylon Centurion before he was saved by a team of Marines.
And now he just found two kids outside Aft Damage Control who had no clue how they got there.
"This is taking the meaning of 'fraked up' to whole new levels."
He turned to the Marines.
"Get Colonel Tigh on the horn, but keep an eye out for the Cylons."
He got the feeling the Centurions were dead, but it didn't hurt to be sure.
Twinam walked over to a phone, picked it up and called CIC.
"Sir? Understood."
He hung up the sound-powered phone.
"Sir, you're not gonna believe this. CIC just told me a fraking kid took out the Cylons that were coming here."
And that was when Apollo's brain just finally shut down.
Hotdog chuckled.
"Just another day on the Battlestar Galactica, right, Captain?" Apollo hit the deck.
Battlestar Galactica: Sickbay
All three Children now wore hospital smocks and sat on a cot while a woman named Ishay tested their blood.
He knew that they weren't going to find anything odd, and they didn't have a clue why the doctors were so paranoid.
...OK, he knew why: they just appeared on a military spaceship without being detected.
That would make anyone nervous.
"Kids."
Shinji looked at a bald man wearing a nicely tailored uniform.
"I'm Colonel Saul Tigh, Galactica's XO. I'm just going to ask one simple question: how the frak did you get on board this ship without being seen by anyone?"
Asuka sighed.
"Believe me, Colonel, you wouldn't believe us if we did."
Tigh scoffed.
"Unless it's so fraking outlandish, I just might."
Shinji took in a breath.
"How about this: a bunch of old men are conspiring to end the human race, and three children are the key to it. Those three pilot giant cloned aliens that were made to fight an invading force that wanted their own version of that plan, but it wasn't exactly good for humanity, so they had to fight. But there's one man who had a plan of his own."
Shinji felt better getting this off his chest.
"His plan was like theirs, but different all the same. Then, after fighting 15 of those aliens, the old men attacked the organization that the kids were part of. During that attack, one of the kids is put in charge of the ultimate power and is forced to make a choice: does he do what the old men want, does he do what the aliens wanted, does he do what his asshole of a father wanted or does he make another choice?"
Tigh wasn't liking where this was going.
"And you're the kids in that...little tale?"
"Yeah. Shinji Ikari, Third Child, pilot of Evangelion Unit-01 and unwilling focus for Instrumentality, at your service."
He gave Tigh a mocking salute.
"What the hell is wrong with you, baka? You're never like this." 'Not that I mind...'
"Whatever Instrumentality did, it made me less...reserved, I think."
Tigh blinked, then made a decision. "I'll want a full report from you kids on what the hell happened to you, how you got here and what the frak you did to those toasters, but now, I got bigger problems."
He faced the man hooked into life support.
"Who's he?"
Tigh took in a breath.
"The Old Man. My friend and my commander, Bill Adama."
Tigh walked off, leaving the three children to themselves.
"Great. Stuck in an alternate universe on a spaceship God knows how far from Earth and the only people I know are you and Wondergirl."
Asuka then hugged both Shinji and Rei, surprising the pair with the act.
"But I could really care less about that. At least I'm not alone anymore."
She started crying openly for the first time in years.
"I'm happy."
Shinji simply held her in his arms, trying to comfort her.
He dragged them here, so he was going to make sure they were happy.
I pity Cavil. Really, I do.
Because once Shinji learns what he's done...well, what happened to Gendo in canon will PALE to what will happen to Cavil.
Then there's all the other assholes in BSG: Zarek, Cain, Phelen, just to name a few.
I think I've unleashed a monster, because Shinji will kill all of them simply because they've harmed people.
And while he's still the Shinji we all know and love, he took in a few of his father's traits: no mercy to his enemies, mostly. Thankfully, he's more like his mother then his father, so no Gendo Posing, thankfully.
Now for a treat.
Omake: Glaring Contest, Take One
(The setting is Gendo's office in the Geo-Front. The Author stands in front of two men, known for making others feel unworthy of existing just by looking at them)
AUTHOR: Good evening. Tonight, we have a contest of wills between Commander William Adama-
(He pointed at the aforementioned man)
AUTHOR: And Gendo Ikari. This board separates the two men from their infamous glares. Once it is removed, only one man shall be left standing.
(The Author removes the board and Gendo suddenly bursts into flames, screaming as he goes)
AUTHOR:...Well, that's interesting.
(Gendo runs out of the office and into the Geo-Front, still on fire and still screaming. Adama turns his Glare on the camera and it explodes. We only get audio feed)
AUTHOR: DAMN IT, BILL!
ADAMA: Sorry.
Next Time on Battlestar Evangelion: While Shinji, Rei and Asuka try to adjust to life on a Battlestar, the survivors of NERV try to locate the missing Children.
Ja Ne!
