#00 The Zero Before The Hero

TOKYO 3, JAPAN 2006

A boy around 5 stood emotionless as an adult figure walked away. Emotionless wasn't really

how to described it. Underneath his midnight blue eyes were anger. The child turned around and

walked the other direction. He closed his eyes than opened them. A small spark of electricity

past through his red eyes. He walked up to a tombstone in a long line of them. He put his hand

on the tombstone that read YUI IKARI.

"I"ll protect you I'll protect your son. I freed me. I'll protect him," Shinji said but his

voice a bit deeper for a 5 year old. Shinji shook his head and closed his eyes. They change back

to their dark blue color.

"Thanks mom for a guardian of my own," Shinji said as in a normal tone. He started to

man that was his da...Gendo said would watch Shinji stood.

TOKYO 3, JAPAN DECEMBER 28 2007

"Shinji-sempai!" A young Rei yelled as she ran into Shinji's room. Gendo was trying the

father thing. He wasn't good at it since he was gone most of the time.

"What is it Rei-kun?" Shinji asked as he rubbed his eyes.

"Daddy's gone to work. Let's go to the park!" Rei yelled.

"Ok," Shinji said as he got out of his futon.

They arrived at the park. Rei was throwing sand into the air as Shinji tried to build a sand

castle. Because of Second Impact there's no snow.

"Hey! Watch it you little brat!" A 10 year yelled as he shoved Rei down with his feet.

"Hey! Stop it!" Shinji yelled as the kid's friend threw sand on Rei.

"What're going to do about kid?" The 10 year asked. Shinji closed his eyes for a second

and open them to reveal red eyes. Shinji tackled the leader and sat up. Shinji rained down hard

punches but he was pulled off by the guy's two buddies. The 10 years old stood. Blood coming

out of his nose.

"Hey you little...," He shouted loud but Rei had kicked him where the sun don't shine.

Shinji pulled his arms together. He had a lot of strength for a 6 years old. He pulled the two kids

into each other. He closed his eyes and open them to reveal they were back to normal.

"Rei-kun. Are you ok?" Shinji asked as he dust of the some sand off of Rei.

"Hai. I'll go home. I don't like it here," Rei said.

"Yeah. Let's go," Shinji said as they headed home.

BERLIN, GERMANY JANUARY 3 2008

Gendo had gave up the idea of his son living with him after learning of the fight. He

wanted him away as far as he could. Germany sounded good. Shinji would be staying with an

old friend of his mother. He was getting passed around more than a hot potato.

'Hello. I am Great Asuka Langley Soryu! It's pleasure for you to meet me,' Asuka said in

Germany.

'Hello. I'm Shinji Ikari. Nice to meet you' Shinji said in fluent Germany back. Asuka

was a bit surprise.

'What?' Shinji asked.

'She's just surprise you can speak German,' Mr. Soryu said, 'Come on,'

A FEW DAYS LATER

Shinji got out of his room. He felt like sleeping a few more hours away in the bed but he

couldn't sleep the day away. He found Asuka at the coffee table in the living room.

'What you're doing?' Shinji asked as he looked over her shoulder.

'Not like you'll understand Baka,' Asuka said.

'Algebra. You know you got that one wrong,' Shinji said as he pointed to one, 'The

answer's x=4 not 6,' Shinji said.

'Yeah right Baka,' Asuka said as she redid it in her mind, 'Dammit. You're right,' Shinji

laughed a bit.

'That's it! No one laughs at me!' Asuka tackled Shinji. Shinji was pinned by her legs. He

dodged her punches as Asuka attacked. Shinji pulled himself from under Asuka.

'Shinji! Your teacher just told me you were asleep during her class,' Mr. Soryu said as he

came in.

'I knew all of it already,' Shinji said.

'I got an idea. Let's see how smart are you,' Mr. Soryu said. He wanted to embarrass the

son of the infamous Gendo Ikari. He left. Asuka cracked her knuckles.

'Uh oh,' Shinji said as Asuka tackled him from behind.

A FEW DAYS LATER

'Are you sure about that?' Mr. Soryu said He hung up the phone.

'What is it?' Shinji asked as he looked up from the Lego.

'Seems like Asuka has a new classmate her age,' Mr. Soryu said.

'What!!' Asuka yelled.

'Shinji here is about as smart as you. He's more creative and innovative while you're

more logical and mathematical. When Mrs. Armitage picks you up Shinji could ask her to bring

you to the

office?" Mr. Soryu asked before he left. Asuka cracked her knuckles as she walked slowly

towards Shinji. Shinji backed away. So far Asuka has yet to land a punch.

LATER THAT DAY

Three boys laid in pain in the space between the school and gym. Shinji walked away. He

was tried.

"First time I used electricity," Shinji said as he remembered the strikes. His hands surged

with electricity. They wouldn't remember the fight since Shinji fried those memories out of their

heads. He looked at his watch.

"Time for math class," Shinji said as he stood up and walked away. His red eyes shifted

back to normal.

JANUARY 15 2009 GERMANY

'See ya,' Shinji said as he and Asuka shook hands. Mr Soryu was here to send him off

too. He personally didn't want a boy around Asuka's age around. It would interfere with Asuka

training as a Child.

'Yeah see ya. Next time we meet I punch so hard you be back in German from Japan,'

Asuka joked. Over the course of about a year she has yet to hit him.

'We'll see about that,' Shinji said, 'So Kaji couldn't make it?'

'He's doing business,' Asuka said.

'Whatever. See ya,' Shinji said. He gave Asuka a hug and walked into the airplane.

TOKYO 3 AIRPORT

Takeru Rouji. He was Yui's boyfriend before Gendo. He broke up with her when she was

forced to join what is known now as Nerv. He was a black belt in Karate. He works as a

computer

engineer and part time hacker.

"Thanks Kouzou-sempai," Takeru said as he put the letter away, "I always knew Gendo

was a bastard. Abandoning his own son,"

"Flight 42 from Germany arriving at gate 12," The PA said.

"That's his flight," Takeru said as he pushed himself off the pillar and headed for the

gate. He waited until a 8 year old child came out alone. Takeru walked up to Shinji.

"Shinji right?" Takeru asked.

"Yeah. Who are you?" Shinji asked.

"Name's Takeru Rouji. I'll be your guardian," Takeru said.

"Nice to meet you Takeru. Call I call you that?" Shinji asked.

"You're rather smart for a 8 year old. Takeru alright. Come on Lil man," Takeru said as

he leaded Shinji out.

Takeru and Shinji lived very good. Takeru worked as a computer engineer and taught

Shinji the workings of the computer and how to break codes. Shinji convinced Takeru to show

him the martial arts. Shinji actually got into Tokyo 2 Uni when he was 10.

"1! 2! 3! The boys yelled as a fourteen year old Shinji threw the darts. Each hitting the

red.

"Hey Daisuke! That's three in the bulleyes. Pay up!" Shinji yelled. Daisuke snorted as he

handed over the money.

"The Raikiri strikes again," Daisuke said.

"Funny. Almost as funny as how money you lost to me," Shinji said. Everyone laughed.

They were in Takeru's basement room. It had a pool table and dart board.

"Catch," Sorato said as she tossed Shinji a soda.

"To Shinji the Raikiri!" Sorato yelled as she held her drink. It was his going away party.

He got a letter telling him to come to Tokyo 3 per the request of Gendo.

"Yeah!" They all yelled as they hit their drinks together. All of them drank.

"Now the going away presents!" Sorato yelled. The guys grabbed Shinji and planted him

in front of the presents. Shinji started to open them. He got an old bottle of sake. A book of

music sheets. Shinji played the guitar and cello. They made fun of him for it. He got a case of

artist markers. A pair of roller blades. Shinji thanked each of them.

"Hey Shinji!" Takeru yelled as he came down with his own present.

"Thanks," Shinji said as he took it and started to open it. Inside was a Cd player with a

bunch of CDs.

"Thanks man," Shinji said as they shook hands.

"I better get out of here before you guys start drinking. Remember last time?" Shinji

asked.

"I never knew a fourteen year old child can be so strong," Daisuke said, "See ya man,"

"Later," Shinji said as he ran upstairs.

NEXT DAY

"See ya everyone," Shinji said before he walked into the train. The doors closed and the

train started to move After a while Shinji sat down in the empty train. His eyes shifted to red.

"The path to our destiny," Shinji said. His turned back to blue.

"The path of blood, betrayal and hell," Shinji added as his eyes turned red. He closes his

eyes than open them. His left eye was blue and his right eye was red.

"Which we're going to change," Shinji said, "Bring it. The blood the fighting the hell. I

know you're listening angels. I got one message for you,. Bring it on,"

Author's Notes

This is a remake of the original Eva: Fusion which I think not much people brother to

read. I know there's a lot of retelling stories like this. Most of them I read have one problem.

They're not finished. I'll try and actually finish this story just don't expect any too great. I'm

only 15 years old who's struggling with English and trying to learn Japanese on the sidelines.

Raikiri means Lightning Edge.
