And OH! No Marvel/NGE crossover this time, I'm thinking in one that will involve Deadpool (Glorious blood soaked violence) but nothing really soon. And This is just a pilot version , so after the reviews , time , imagination and a lot of Metal I will make a second version of this episode , a supercharged version I say , I will try to do the same with all my futures projects, make a pilot them the supercharger one.
So let's start...
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Earth the blue sphere, now red as blood, as the LCL Sea in it; Floating in the darkness of the infinity night of the universe.
A dark hand even darker than the darkness night try to grab the red sphere, but it's too far.
It's the perspective of someone.
"I used to like it...NO! I used to hate it... But one thing made me like it..."
"But now it is all gone..."
"What the hell you insects did with it?"
The hand moves from the grabbing position and cover the perspective
We heard a strong sound of metal being scratched. The sound stop, three fingers appears in the perspective, the gone, the sound starts again and them stops one more time.
"Why you do that? Why you don't restart, it's the more prudent action right now, and you know that."
"You know why, you two know why."
Silence...
The first voice:
"Don't worry we will fix every thing, I will fix... I always fix it"
A close in the bloody Earth
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Shinji and Asuka are lying down in the beach of the LCL as in the first moments of the aftermath of Third Impact, both looking to the dark sky and the red blood ring that was always present in the skies after that day, and chatting about their life's, problems and above all enjoying the company of each other in this desert world.
"You know Asuka; we don't come back here for a long time, and it hasn't changed anything."
"I know it'll make one year since...And we still alone."
"Yeah just very few people come back."
"Why? Why most of them still trapped? Why..."
"Don't be even more pathetic Shinji; understand that you can't save every one, let it go!!"
Shinji looks to the moon; he couldn't see it, its new moon.
"Maybe…it was…my fault"
"IDIOT!!!" Asuka looks with anger and disgust to Shinji; he looked to her with apathy in his eyes.
"Why you always need to take the responsibility for EVERY THING?"
"Asuka...I don't me…" She interrupts him.
"Why need to self mutilate? Why you always do that with yourself?"
"ASUKA!!!" Shinji said with anger.
"Sorry, I just don't want that you suffer even more" "It was my fault Shinji, if I was stronger I could defeat that monster and nothing of this would ever happen!" "I'm weak Shinji I'm a VERMIN!! I don't worth this life, I'm pathetic... I always bothered you; I always was rude with you because I had envy of you, of your talent with the EVA." She starts to remember her traumatic experience with Arael.
"Asuka...Stop" Shinji starts to become worried with her "It wasn't your fault, it wasn't mine, it wasn't fault of any one. I just wanted to save us by crucifying my self."
"I know what you mean, I feel the same, and I just don't let the people worry about me just it. Forgive me Shinji, please."
A tear starts to drop from Asuka's eyes.
"Doesn't worry I always will forgive you Asuka" Shinji says with a subtitle smile. Asuka do the same.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A yellow sign with "Mare Orientale" writhed in black stands out from the gray sea of rocks.
"There is!"
We look to a giant crater surrounded by three rings of mountains with a deep abyss in form of a crack inside the crater.
The dark bottom of the abyss is suddenly illuminated by a strong artificial light. We see a lance of Longinus stuck in a rock somewhat remembering Excalibur , but this lance is different, it's dark deep blue not blood red as the one of Terminal Dogma.
"The second lance, the lance of Lilith." The third voice says with a even more cold and precise mechanic way.
"It almost looks that she tried to stay way from it, she must have fear of it a deep and terrible fear" The second voice says in a dark and sadistic tone.
"Stop she is dead now it doesn't matter; w...I have a job to do."
The dark hand grab the lance, it's immense like the hand of an EVA it looks mechanic as well, but it's different, it has five finger and two opposite thumbs.
"Let's start" we heard the three voices together.
We watched a close in the red sphere.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Shinji I was wondering one thing..."
"What?"
"What do you think that happened with Misato and Wonder Gi...I mean Rei" In that moment she remembered that Rei sacrificed herself to destroy the 16th Angel.
"Look , I wish that Misato have been incorporated in the Instrumentality and that she can come back and not that she just died in that corridor , but I'm not sure...And about Rei I really don't have idea , well with the Rei that we know and with the others two as well."
"Others?" Asuka looks to Shinji with surprise, raising her left eyebrow.
"I don't know much but, what I could understand is that she as a clone, one of many clones of my...mother..." Shinji give a great sigh.
"WHAT?! How it's possible?" Asuka says with even more surprise "That is just impossible Shinji!!"
"I thought the same but , she sounds so much as my mother , she acts like my mother she looks like my mother but I thought that was just my mind , them Ritisuko show to me and Misato the truth in terminal dogma , the uncountable clones , uncountable Reis."
"Why they did that?"
"I don't know, I mean I just know that it have something to do with the Dummy Plug System and Instrumentality just it."
Shinji remembers the animalistic carnage that Unit 01 inflicted to Unit 03 and Toji, under the control of the Dummy Plug and the Terminal Dogma scene.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A electric blue lighting come down from the moon and moves in direction of Earth at an incredible speed it's the second lance, it hits the LCL sea just a couple hundred meters away from the beach where Asuka and Shinji, it quickly penetrate the sea and the earth and create a small but powerful shock wave that just throw Shinji and Asuka away hundred of meters from the beach with violence to a kind of stagnant pool of LCL but without live just mud and LCL.
Shinji faint , some time later he opened his eyes and saw an immense quantity of stream of steam coming from the point where the lance hit the sea "This smell, it's like blood, her blood and his blood as well" he thought remembering random memories of Rei and Kaworu , than he looked to the moon he just saw a enormous red eye looking to him, he faint again.
The Lance of Longinus reach the Earth's nucleon and stops near it, another lance materializes in the opposite position of the first lance, it's the red lance, the Adam's lance. Both lances pierce the nucleon and fuse together to form a DNA like spiral in the middle of Earth, them a green shock wave is produce and reach the surface and the LCL sea, it went green and them multiple hexagonal like shapes made of a orange light start to form in the green, all of this forms are linked but after some time they are starting to separate looking a painful process and many of this forms are destroyed during the separation.
Shinji wake up by the mechanical sounds of steps, that sounds to him more than familiar, he can't see much because of all the steam, the sound starts to become louder and launder, them Shinji saw a shadow like form coming in his direction he can't define it but he knows that it's big very big, now it's closer and he can define better it's shape, he is almost in panic. "It's an EVA?! No, no it can't be it can't be!!!" "ASUKA!!!!!" nothing, he tries again "ASUKA WHERE ARE YOU!!!"
"Oh my God!! This thing is huge!" the form is now very close and he can saw details of it. It's all black with some little details in glowing blood neon red , it's somewhat bigger than an EVA , it's much more bulkier built than one and his head is almost round like a biker helmet , now Shinji can see it's face , it have the bone white upper face of a skull with three small eyes around a bigger one of the same color the same glowing blood red , all of them with looking like cats eyes , the face also have three immense scars that crosses the eyes looking like claws marks it have an absolutely terrifying appearance that somehow looked scared as well. It now started to look to Shinji and Asuka that was near Shinji but due the Steam he couldn't see her.
Asuka wake up and saw the four eyes looking direct inside her own eyes and the light of them almost blinding her like a powerful red and sinister lighthouse "AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!! What is that?" "Shinji!!!"
"Asuka!!! OVER HERE!!!!"
Soon both found each other and faced the creature, it was immobile like analyzing the situating and Shinji and Asuka as well.
A thunderous mechanical voice with a kind of "organic" breathing comes from the monster.
"You four are the hope."
"Hope?" "We four?" Asuka and Shinji said together.
The Skull still immobile them Shinji asked "Who are you?"
The monster them started to move and said "Who I'm?!" them he inclined in their direction supporting it self with his hand now a few meter from Asuka and Shinji that are now in absolutely panic.
It put his face a few centimeters from heir faces and said again "Who I'm?" "Who I'm?" "I'M THE FUTURE!!!!" it back to his original position without saying nothing, them it started to look around and started to move to a position near the couple, without any warning the two lances emerge from the muddy ground, and started to float a few meters from the ground, but in opposite positions; the red lance with it's head turned to the sky and the blue lance with it's head turned to the ground.
"Ummm...!" The giant murmured.
"The lance of Longinus!! What it's doing here? Wait TWO lances?!" Asuka said putting her hand over her left eye and remembering her final moments in Unit 02 fighting against the MP EVAs.
The black giant picked the two lances and put it in the back of his pylons that superficially remember the one of an EVA, but they are much shorter and they aren't in the shoulders, they are fixed in the creature's torso, closer to the neck and behind the shoulder, they resemble shark fins.
The black giant now started to move to the direction the LCL sea now green, with the liquid now in his belt it stopped near to one of the hexagonal forms but this one was different it was white not orange, it started to floating near to the surface the giant picked gentle the form that easily fit in it's unique double thumbed hands, the form now was reduced to a small light ball.
For some reason the steam was gone and now Shinji and Asuka could see all the glory of the thing.
"It's just enormous it must be at least 50m height, 10 more than my EVA, and look all that armor plates!" Asuka said with now with amazed tone.
"Shinji saw another new detail something witted in the things back near to the lances:
Project Iron Man
20XX
Scorpion 1-00
Model Version Unit
Pilot:---------------
Codename: Ecstasy
The pilot name and the year were erased by marks like the scars in the creature's face, like someone or something have erased it with anger or for that no one could see what is behind it, under this there is the SEELE symbol as well Nerv symbol in the side of it, in the middle was a bigger symbol a circle with a fiver finger hand with two thumbs and a cat eye in the middle of the palm, without words in or near it.
"Nerv?! Yeah, maybe there are things there that we were never supposed to know, but why another kind of EVA? Wait, I don't think that this is an EVA." But one thing really cached Shinji's attention; the giant had something that looks like to the door of the Entry Plug of an EVA , now Shinji had absolutely sure, it has some one inside it.
Soon the Iron Man started to walk away from Shinji and Asuka, carrying his precious cargo of light, soon he disappear.
Asuka no more scared but now amazed still contemplating the black giant that before a monstrosity now looks more "human", soon as too far to be seen.
"We are the hope. We four..." "What do you think that this means Asuka?"
"I don't know but whatever it means it must be very important", "We four..." Asuka murmured.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It looks like a badly illuminated cargo zone like the giants empty spaces of Nerv's head quarters , we are in the Iron Man perspective again Looking to his precious cargo is his hands , a naked brunet woman in fetal position that resemble Misato but she have European.
"I swear, this time I'll protect you, I'll save you."
"I'll make this world a better place for you, I swear"
The giant said in an emotional tone but filtrated by the mechanical sound of his own voice.
