A/N: This story is a spontaneous post. I have no clue where exactly it's going and that's half the fun. I'm making it up as I go…and on purpose to boot.
I'm writing this strictly for the hell of it, so don't expect high caliber writing.
Legendary
Chapter One
The holographic monoliths disappeared from in front of Commander Gendo Ikari and Sub Commander Kouzou Fuyutsuki.
"Well that was rather eventful" Fuyutsuki noted as he pulled out his PDA and marked a few dates.
"Let the old men complain" Gendo grunted and got up from his chair. He pulled his jacket off the back of it and swung it over his shoulder.
"I don't know how much longer it will take for them to discover our real motives" Kouzou added as Gendo walked passed him.
"Our scenario will not be changed because of them. The true challenge for humanity is almost upon us and I for one will not allow a bunch of bureaucrats to mess up all of our hard work and planning" the commander waved his hand back to his old teacher as he walked back to the doors of his office.
"You seem to be in a hurry. Have a date with the wife?" Fuyutsuki joked while Gendo stopped short of leaving his own office.
"That is one way to put it" Gendo mentioned with a sigh and he was out the door.
"The joys of parenthood" Kouzou said to himself.
Yui was currently in a predicament right now. She was having a war within her own mind and heart. The mother in her was upset, the woman in her was proud, and the scientist in her was still trying to figure out that formula from work. All the while Gendo sat impassively with his cold hard stare intimidating the man talking in front of him.
"Apparently Asuka Soryu and Yukari Hirai were bickering" the man started "Hirai's boyfriend, Yuji Sekai, came over and Soryu said something disrespectful towards Hirai and himself; which caused Sekai to yell at her. This got the attention of your son Shinji and his friend Touji as well as Yuji's friends, Keisaku and Eita. What happened next was apparently a pretty big brawl" the
man put his elbows on his desk and laced his fingers together, a move that irritated Gendo. The man obviously hadn't perfected this intimidating position.
"Mr. and Mrs. Ikari, I understand the importance these children represent to our future but I can't stand idly by as my other students are put in the hospital" the principle explained as he pulled out a manila folder and reviewed aloud what was written down.
"The girl named Yukari Hirai is recovering from a broken nose, multiple bruises and cuts as well as missing a chunk of hair" Yui winced at that.
"The boy Yuji Sakai is currently recovering from a dislocated shoulder, broken arm, and a minor concussion" he turned to the next page.
"Keisaku Sato; two broken ribs, a fractured femur, two black eyes, and a few missing teeth" Yui shook her head as the man continued.
"Eita Tanaka; multiple bite wounds and bruising. Apparently there is also something wrong with his Medulla Oblongata…whatever that is" the man scratched his head.
"Actually" Yui interrupted "the Medulla Oblongata controls autonomic functions, and relays nerve signals between the brain and spinal cord. It is also responsible for controlling several major points and autonomic functions of the body like respiration, blood pressure, heart rate, swallowing…".
"Yui, you're rambling dear" Gendo nudged his wife. Yui stopped talking and apologized to the man.
"No need Doctor Ikari, that was quite an interesting explanation, I'd expect nothing less from you" he turned serious again "But the fact remains that your son as well as his friends Soryu and Suzuhara really did a number on those four. Once again, I understand why they are trained in such, effective, self-defense but I would appreciate it if you would teach them a little thing called restraint before I have even more angry parents nipping at my heels".
"I understand" Gendo spoke up "on behalf of Nerv as well as being Shinji's parents we apologize for his actions as well as those of our other employees, Suzuhara and Soryu. We will take all necessary steps to resolve this matter with our pilots and to ensure all four families are compensated" Gendo finished as he stood up and prepared to leave.
"Mr. Ikari that won't solve the matter of…".
"It will have to" Gendo growled out and glared at the man "Nerv does not have the time to play these petty games" Gendo turned around and left while Yui apologized for her husband's actions. As Gendo walked down the hallways of the school Yui ran up to him and playfully punched him in the arm.
"You're such an ass" she giggled like a school girl and grabbed his arm. Gendo cracked a small grin.
"At least I'm not talking his ear off about the Medulla Oblongata" she punched him in the arm again.
"I'm a biologist, it's what I do. So, what are we going to do about the children?" she asked seriously as they walked up to their car. Gendo didn't hesitate answering her as the driver opened the passenger door for them.
"Nothing" he said simply and Yui frowned "Very well, If you would like me to, I will inform Kaji and he'll think of something" she settled for that. Section Two's Ryouji Kaji was a lecherous ladies man but was an efficient teacher and officer.
"We have bigger problems to deal with right now" Gendo stated grimly as the car headed back towards Nerv.
"So I've been told" Yui said as she pulled out her laptop "Both Kotaro and Lucinda have informed me that the fourteen angels will be heading our way in about a month" she typed in a few commands and a list of Evangelion's was produced "Unit's 00, 01, 02, and 03 are combat ready, while Unit's 04, 05, and 06 are in the final stages of completion" Yui told him while Gendo pinched the bridge of his nose.
"We're really cutting it close Yui".
"I suppose it was the best we could do with such little time" she stated "we've made leaps and bounds in biological mechanics as well as neural censor data analysis to name just two advances. If humanity survives this then we will have a new age in medical science".
"If we survive" Yui didn't like his words "don't get me wrong dear, I have faith in our pilots. The odds are just stacked against them two to one, I can't help but worry that the future of all humanity is in the hands of seven children".
"It'll be alright honey, the children will pull through, I know it" Yui had a mothers confidence.
Rei tackled Hikari to the ground and continued to punch the girl as she curled into a ball to protect herself from the increasingly painful blows.
"I-I think she's had enough Rei" Kensuke Aida told the azure haired girl. Rei stopped what she was doing and got off of Hikari.
"I believe you are right" Rei said as she heard Hikari's muffled sobs. She picked the girl up by her arm and straightened out her training clothes "I am sorry if I hurt you Hikari" she told her friend as the girl wiped her eyes.
"It, it's alright, but I'm not a fighter like Touji or Asuka, I'm a specialist like you two" Hikari told them as Rei grabbed all three of them water bottles.
"When the angels do arrive there is a high probability that something will go wrong and you will be forced into close ranged combat, they simply want us three prepared for such an event" Rei told Hikari and Kensuke.
"Gone are the days of shooting it with a gun and it stays down" Kensuke said "and I thought it'd be cool to be a pilot, now I'm not too sure" he wasn't much of a better fighter then Hikari.
"I will admit that it is not one of my strengths" Rei said softly "but Major Katsuragi did insist that we learn it for good measure" Rei stated as she got back on the practice mat and motioned Kensuke to follow. The boy walked over and got into a horrible fighting stance.
"I just don't want Shinji to kill me if I hurt you" Kensuke joked with a smirk as Rei charged at him.
"I do not think he needs to worry" Rei mentioned as she decked the boy hard onto the mat.
"Ouch, it hurt just to watch it" Touji commented as he, Shinji, and Asuka entered the gymnasium.
"Ah my spleen" Kensuke whined as he slowly got up and Asuka walked towards him.
"Rei, what have I told you never to allow your opponent to do" Asuka asked as she towered over the recovering Kensuke.
"To get back up" Rei answered quickly.
"Exactly" Asuka grabbed Kensuke by the shoulders, kneed him in the stomach then grabbed him by the forehead and pushed him onto his back.
"What did I do this time" Kensuke coughed out as Shinji and Touji helped him up.
"She's kind of in a bad mood" Shinji told him "besides; you've always had a high tolerance for pain, this is nothing".
"That explains the knee to the gut and no, that isn't an excuse to treat me as a human punching bag".
"Just give it up Ken, you know the devil wont apologize to you" Touji told him.
"I know, but I can hope for a miracle" Shinji and Touji let the boy go and he began to stand uneasily on his own "there" he wheezed "good as new" Shinji caught him before he could fall down again.
"So, how did it go with the principle" Hikari asked Asuka while the red head crossed her arms and turned her head.
"He wasn't happy, that's for sure" Touji answered "He was saying we used 'excessive force' and threatened to have us expelled" the jock told her.
"We did go a little overboard" Shinji mentioned "I never meant to hurt them that badly" he muttered.
"Shut up Shinji, it was their own stupid fault for butting in" Asuka yelled at him.
"I'm sorry" he replied.
"Don't apologize to her Shinji" Touji barked out "It was actually her fault to begin with".
"It was not" she stomped over to him "Shana just doesn't know how to keep her mouth shut".
"Which reminds me of you" he snapped back "I swear if Hirai had blazing red hair like you, then you two could pass as twins" Touji yelled as he and Asuka glared at each other, waiting for the other to swing first.
"Shut up, shut up, shut up" Asuka screamed into his face and pulled back her fist "Don't compare me to Shana". Her fist was suddenly stopped short of punching the jock by a pair of soft but strong hands.
"I think you have caused enough problems today Soryu" a familiar voice said and Asuka growled out.
"You better remove those hands of yours, fairy boy, before I shove them where the sun doesn't shine" Asuka threatened the offending person.
"My apologies Soryu, I simply wished to resolve this predicament before Captain Kaji arrives" Kaworu Nagisa said as he released her from his grip. She rubbed her wrist and was about to lash out at the blond haired green eyed boy until she noticed Kaji entering the room.
"Kaji" she yelled out as she rushed over to him, ready to glomp the Section Two agent. Kaji quickly side stepped and Asuka ended up glomping Misato.
"I know you miss me but you're making the boys jealous" Misato purred as she pried the redhead off of her. Kaji simply grinned.
"Well kids we're here to escort you to a meeting the Commander has assembled" Kaji told the group "So if you'd kindly follow us to our fine limousine we can get this bore fest over with before happy hour" Misato punched him hard into the arm "Ahh, I mean, we'll give you a lift to headquarters and have you there within ten minutes".
Gendo and Kouzou entered the meeting room together and both sat at their respective seats. Gendo next to Yui and Kouzou sat next to Dr. Naoko Akagi. Soon Maya, Shigeru, and Makoto entered the room, followed by Dr. Ritsuko Akagi, Kotaro, and Lucinda. Once everybody sat down Gendo started off.
"The pilots will be here in five minutes and we want them to be fully informed by the time they leave here today, is that understood" everybody nodded their heads and Gendo turned to Yui.
"Major Katsuragi and Captain Kaji will also be present so be prepared for a possible…conflict" Yui told them as Lucinda, a hazel eyed long haired blond woman of European decent, passed out some documents.
"As you can see from these readouts" Lucinda said as a hologram appeared in the middle of the table "We have already identified Sahaquiel, Arael, and Armisael just behind the moons shadow. Sandalphon and Gaghiel were found not too far away from each other. One deep in the pacific ocean and the other on an island close by, inside of a volcano" the blond haired woman sat down and motioned to her husband, the black haired and brown eyed man, Kotaro.
"We think the best course of action is to take those two out ahead of time" some of the people in the room were a bit uncertain of such a bold move. Kotaro took notice of that "It is simply an option that we can discuss later but it does present us with a possibility to even the odds a little. Doctor Akagi, you're up" Kotaro sat down while Naoko and Ritsuko stood up.
"THE CURRENT STATUS OF…" the two women started together then quickly stopped and turned towards Kotaro, who had a small smile on his face.
"What?" he asked innocently while Lucinda elbowed him "you're both the head scientists of Project E" Naoko just shook her head.
"Go ahead Ritsuko" she sat down.
"Well, as you know Unit's 00 through 03 are fully operational. Units 04 and 05 will be ready by this weekend and were looking at possibly initiating Unit 06's first sync test by next Friday" Ritsuko grabbed the remote from Kotaro and pushed another button on it. A schematic of Unit 00, 01, and 04 appeared before the group. "Most of you are all well aware why Unit 04 has generated its own S2 organ and it was already calculated to do so. We knew it was a possibility that Unit 00 might generate its own but we are still not sure why Unit 01 has as well, though we
have a few theories" Naoko stood back up and pushed yet another button on the remote. Unit 00 and 04 disappeared leaving only Unit 01.
"As far as we can tell Unit 01 has had no complications with this new addition but we wish to put it under observation for any irregularities that may occur while the organ develops" Gendo nodded his head to the brown haired woman.
"Well, now that those matters are finished" Gendo said as the hologram disappeared "we can begin the fun part" nobody was looking forward to this, especially Yui. Gendo pushed the intercom button on the table "you may enter" the doors opened up and in walked the seven pilots, Major Misato Katsuragi, and Captain Ryouji Kaji. The children sat at the table while the two adults stood behind them.
"I'm sure you've been wondering why you were summoned here today" Lucinda asked the nine people. The children, minus Kaworu and Rei, all nodded their heads, while Misato and Kaji did the same. "You have been brought in because we must inform you of the full details regarding the angels you will be fighting" the blond woman said as she stepped a little closer to Kotaro.
"Wait, you mean you've been keeping information from us…or were you lying to us" Asuka yelled out what the others thought.
"Not exactly" Yui interceded "We've told you what you're fighting but not…why or how many there are".
"What do you mean by 'how many'" Touji stood up with his hands slamming onto the table "I thought we were only fighting a few of these angels at a time".
"The angels are not stupid creatures" Kotaro said calmly "the fourteen angels will arrive by the end of the month and all at the same time" as soon as Kotaro stopped talking the board room erupted with shouting.
"WHAT, FOURTEEN"?
"You guys told us that it would take two of us to kill at least one of these things" Shinji nearly shouted out "now you tell us that we are outnumbered two to one. What if there are more?" none of the pilots could speak after that. They knew this wouldn't be easy before but now it just seemed impossible
"There are more" Gendo stated "that is also why we have the advantage".
"Are you insane Ikari" Kaji yelled "how is that an advantage?" Misato put her arms around Kaji to calm the man down but she was furious as well.
"It is quite simple Captain" Gendo stated coolly "because those other three angels are on our side".
A/N: I know it's hard but try to picture Kaworu with light blond hair and green eyes. Rei still looks the same so no problems there.
Like I said, this story is being written purely for the hell of it and will be updated when it's updated. While this story has a serious air about it, it'll also be pretty goofy at times. It's kind of a random thing on my part.
I wonder if anybody caught the Shakugan no Shana references. This isn't a crossover; I just thought it'd be fun to try. I may reference other animes/mangas in future chapters.
Review if you want to, but it does inspire me
