Coded Arms: Black Diamond Rhapsody
Turn One; the Arrival Chapter – Fragmented
---------------------------------------------------------------------
"Well… I didn't expect this city to be this empty…" Shinji mused to himself as casually sat on a bench on the train station. He didn't try to pick up a phone because he was sure that there was an emergency situation going on. He then whipped out the picture of the woman who's supposed to fetch him. "Wonder if she's stuck in traffic…" He then chuckled at his eccentric joke.
BOOM!
Shinji quickly looked at the source of the explosion and he went bug-eyed. "Okay… I think I watched too much pre-Impact anime from sensei's stash…"
Shinji continued to watch as the planes tried its best to bomb the creature, only to have it brushed off by a peculiar barrier.
"Who ever their commander is, he's an idiot for sending his men to their graves…" Shinji commented as the planes were introduced to the creatures beam.
He then remembered his sensei's words before he left. "Make your self a harem kiddo!"
He shook his head, "Not that one!" he then tried again, "Look for Spencer Horaki… I already told him to give you the Version 2.5 of the Inferno…"
"Need to go log-in later this night… Some bastard reprogrammed my turf with proximity mines…" He grumbled, not noticing a speeding Renault heading his way. He was snapped out of his reverie when the said car did a 180 turn while its tires were screeching.
"Are you Shinji Ikari?" the purple-head asked hurriedly.
"Well… the last time I checked, yes… Are you Captain Katsuragi? What took you so long?" Shinji asked, only to be yanked inside the car.
"We don't have much time!" Misato then kicked the accelerator. Shinji, on the other hand, cringed at the sudden acceleration.
"I swear… she's worse than Keith…" Shinji thought. He looked outside and saw some of the planes withdrawing. "Pulling back eh? It could be they were giving up or…" he then noticed a solo plane heading towards the creature. "…bring in the heavy hitters… Oh shi-" He then took his bag and hug it as if he was protecting something really important.
Misato, who was surprised at the reaction of Shinji, looked outside and paled. "A N2 Mine?!"
Their world went tumbling around them when the bomb detonated.
A few minutes later…
Shinji groaned, "That's worse than being stuffed inside a drum and rolled down a bumpy five hundred meter slope…"
"It's nice to see you're still among the living…" Misato joked.
"Heh, I experienced worse…" Shinji spoke.
"What do you mean by that?" Misato asked, curious.
Shinji just shrugged, "Nothing… let's get out of your car."
After getting out of the car, Shinji met the devastated face of Misato.
"I haven't finished paying for my car…" she whined.
"That's Murphy's Law for you." Shinji commented. "Let's try to flip this over."
Misato nodded. After they flipped the car over, Misato tried to start the car again but it didn't work. "I think the battery is fried."
Shinji, who scanned the area they were in, suggested, "Let's get a battery from that store."
"Good idea." They proceed to the said store and get a battery… and a few extra things…
"Do you really need that?" Misato asked as she saw Shinji take a PSP game, a PSP, some PC Game installers and a few packs of potato chips.
Shinji raised an eyebrow, "You took some non-important stuff too…" He pointed at the various magazines, junk food and couple of beer cans.
Misato tried to answer but Shinji just motioned that they should be going.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
After a few minutes of fixing and traveling…
"Welcome to the GeoFront!" Misato announced as they entered the underground base. Shinji, on the other hand, wasn't impressed.
"And here I thought high-tech underground bases exist only in games, manga and anime…"
After they got off of the wrecked up car, they tried to proceed to the Central Dogma... Try, is the keyword… Because it's been a whole 30 minutes that they were lost…
"Um... Seriously Miss Katsuragi… We've been in this place for the seventh time already…"
"Eh? How did you know?"
Shinji pointed at the 'XD' chalk mark he left on the wall. Beside the mark were single lines on it.
"I keep track on things…"
Misato sweatdropped.
After they took the left turn, they were greeted by a blonde waiting on the elevator.
"You're late Misato!" The blond yelled angrily. Then she looked behind Misato and saw Shinji munching a potato chip, "Is that the Third Child?"
"What's with the designation? Don't tell me my dad asked me to come here for some highly classified project." Shinji lied.
The truth is… he knew everything about NERV ever since his last skirmish in the internet…
Flashback: Two Weeks before…
After sniping the sentries with his newly acquired Winchester Cal.346 Sniper Rifle Version 2.0, a character wearing some sort of high-tech armor proceeded cautiously towards the door the purged sentries were guarding.
Back in the real world, Shinji was currently typing furiously as he tried to get a digital map with enemy/firewall positions on it.
"So Shinji, how's the territory expansion going?" a man in his mid teens asked.
"Good and bad, Keith." Shinji replied while biting on a sandwich, "Bad is that the security here has too many sentries, scanners, bugs and firewalls… good is that they might be hiding some valuable information here…"
"Lucky…" Keith whistled then threw a USB Flash Drive at Shinji, "Copy the Immolator Version 1.5… you might need it as a get away weapon…"
"I thought you don't want me to have a copy of the Immolator?"
"I don't. The Immolator in that flash drive destroys itself after you exhausted all of the ammo code… as if I'll give you an Immolator after you almost burned my turf …" Keith scolded.
"That's an accident!" Shinji defended himself, "Why did you give me its Version 4.0? You exactly knew that my C.A. System's firmware does not meet the requirements for weapons and armor above Version 3.5."
"I traded it by mistake!" Keith said, he looked at the wall clock and saw it's almost 4 PM, "I'm going back to my room…"
"To check if the hentai you're downloading is now complete?"
"To Love-RU is not hentai! It's a love story!"
"Right…" Shinji rolled eyes.
After Keith left, Shinji proceeded on what he was doing.
A few minutes later, he came across with a door with the Sephirothic System on it.
"What the hell? Did I enter some kind of cult network?" Shinji tried to open it but it was password protected. Shinji tsked, and then activated a program to crack the code. He was about to relax when chimeras were detected behind him. "Oh shi- viruses!" Shinji upload the code for his SIG SG-550 Assault Rifle Version 3.5 and began to fire at the chimeras.
"Did they detect me? No… it must be they're trying to delete an unknown program by using viruses…" He then heard the sound of the door behind him being slightly opened; "Finally… the opening that I just need" he then ran a program that enables to download all the data in the other side of the door even if the door wasn't fully opened yet. After fifteen minutes of holding the line, he was able to download 100 percent of the data.
"Time to burn this joint!" he uploaded the Immolator, set it on maximum destruction mode, and left it on the door as he fled from the network. The Immolator exploded, destroying the program and the data with it.
Shinji sighed with relief as he sent his character back to his turf and logged off the internet. "Now let's see what they're protecting…"
Flashback ends here… XD
Shinji was a bit surprised at the file named 'Project-E' and its contents. After reading and re-reading the whole file, he came to a conclusion that there are some higher authorities behind the said project.
All I need to do is go with the flow and find out everything about NERV and the Evangelion… for the sake of my mother…
