A Nautilus Production.

By Capt. Nemo

Hey everybody, I know that your expecting the first chapter of 'Eva Crusade', but my muse has had other ideas, don't worry, I've started the first chapter and it is well under way. This project came to me while sitting on the airplane coming back from Washington D.C. for the Fourth of July. So know that I am home and wrapped up in my blankets with the air conditioning set on Ice Age, I am writing this for your pleasure.

Warning: This chapter will contain OOCnes, a little AU, and other random crazy stuff.

I own nothing contained in this story, everything contained in here is the property of their respective owners.

Well that's enough talking for know,

On With the Story

The Prankster.

'Come on, let me out, you don't let me out any more.' The voice in Rei's head complained.

"There is a reason that I don't let you out any more." Rei responded to the nagging voice in her head. It was starting to get annoying.

'Oh come on, I thought Gendo would find it funny.' The voice replied, 'and besides, the guy was good, I couldn't pass him up on his offer.'

"You turned the entire office pink." Rei told the voice in her head. "I fail to find the point in that."

'I did it because it was fun." The voice defended itself. 'Look, I won't do anything like that this time, I promise. Besides, you know what happens if you keep me locked up for to long.'

"Okay then I shall let you out tonight." Rei said giving into the voice in her head. The voice had been in her head for as long as she could remember. It was almost like a split personality, in fact it was a whole other person. A person that could do a lot of damage if she was let out for to long. When Rei was younger, about once a month, she would let the other person take control for the night. After the incident with the commanders office, she stopped letting her out. The catch was, if she didn't let her out, she would come out on her own and cause trouble, so Rei decided that enough time had passed and it was time to let her out again.

'All right. Lets see what I got planned for tonight.' The voice cried with joy.

"As long as it can be undone, it is alright with me." Rei told the voice.

'Okay, Everything that I will do can be undone.' The voice responded.

Later the evening. Rei's apartment.

Rei had just fallen asleep, and that meant her other personality had full control. If any one had seen the change, they would have seen Rei get into bed as she normally does, only to see her jump out of bed a second later. The difference was that she was sporting a rather large grin on here face.

'Okay, now to keep my first promise.' She thought to herself. Almost right after this thought, 'Rei' was engulfed in a bright light. After a few seconds, the light started to dim. When the light dimmed, where once a plain school girl stood now stood a woman that could be considered the dream of all men. She stood about 5'8" with her long silver colored hair falling down to the center of her back. Her body was built like that of a goddess, not a imperfection to be seen, and her bust had swelled to several sizes larger. Some would say she could rival Helen of Troy in beauty. Little did they know that she was the woman that Homer had based Helen off of.

"All right world, Lilith is free again." The angel proclaimed. "but before I do anything, I need some clothes." In another blinding flash clothes appeared. What she was wearing would draw men to her like flies. With hip hugging black jeans, a white short sleeved shirt, and a black vest on top of that. On her head she wore a black berate. For jewelry she had a chain that went from one belt loop to another that was covered in angels, and on here ears where little diamond studs. "Okay, now to have a good time, lets start with Dr. Akagi."

Dr. Akagi's apartment.

Dr. Akagi was doing something that she rarely did these days. She was sleeping in her own bed. After nearly falling asleep and poisoning herself with coffee, she had decided to take a couple of days off to get some rest and see her grandmother and her cats. It was looking like it was going to be a good couple of days for her, all rest and mountain air that seemed to rejuvenate her. With her bags packed and her train ticket bought, everything was looking good. What she didn't notice was someone sneaking into her room.

Lilith had snuck into Dr. Akagi's room. Knowing how hard the head of Project E worked, she decided to do something that would give her a little more energy during the day. Though she was tempted to make it a delayed reaction so that she could get some rest.

After a few minutes of very deep thought, Lilith came up with an idea. She would make the changes, but put it into here mind that she would go on her vacation, besides, what she was doing would help her to relax.

After deciding on what she was going to, Lilith held her hands out over the slumbering doctor. Soon a dim light started to form around Dr. Akagi. Changes soon started to appear, after a few seconds the light dissipated. Seeing that she had done what she had set out to do for Dr. Akagi, Lilith slowly vanished from the room. If anyone had been in the room they would have heard two sounds; purring from Dr. Akagi and a light laughter from Lilith.

Misato's Apartment.

There was something different in Misato's apartment. It seemed that the pilots had come to some sort of an agreement that Misato had agreed to. They had found out that by sleeping in close together their nightmares had lessened. Overtime they had found themselves slowly falling for each other. They had taken some teasing from Misato, but she understood and saw the difference in the pair. Asuka had started to treat Shinji a lot nicer, though she still called him 'Baka Shinji' it had become more of a pet name for him. No one dared call him Baka Shinji when Asuka was around.

Lilith slowly appeared in this environment. She saw the two pilots laying there with Shinji's arm thrown over Asuka as if he was protecting her from everything. Looking down at the scene, Lilith thought it was so cute. It reminded her of why she created the human race. She just watched them for awhile, with the slight, but steady rise and fall of there chests telling her that they where in a peaceful, dreamless sleep. There was a thought in her mind to leave the two alone, but she wanted to do something for the two. They had been through so much and finding each other had been a blessing.

After watching the two, an idea came popped into Lillith's mind. It was perfect, it would help bring the two closer together. Holder her hands out over the sleeping couple, a slight glow enveloped the pair; after a few seconds it disappeared, as did the angel.

Misato's Room.

Misato had actually gone to bed sober that night. It had been a long day at NERV filling out paper work and reviewing the security arrangements for the pilots. When she had gotten home all she did was grab a quick bit to eat and fall asleep. Tomorrow was supposed to be better as she didn't have to show up till noon, and with Ritsuko taking a much needed brake from everything, everything seemed to be getting better.

It was into this environment that Lilith emerged. Looking around she saw that it was mess. There where clothes everywhere, piles of empty beer cans, and random stuff scattered everywhere. Looking down at the slumbering occupant, she saw the one that had been at ground zero of Second Impact and bore the scar to prove it. She had an idea for Misato, something that had to do with her love of swimming. Swimming was the main way Misato stayed in shape, so Lilith decided to help her out with that, and with Misato sex drive, it would be even sweeter. Slowly she held out her hands again and a familiar glow wrapped itself around Misato's. After a few second it stopped. Lilith was about to leave when she spotted something in the corner of Misato's room. Walking over to it she picked it up.

"This will do perfectly." She said to herself. She then faded from sight.

Gendo's House.

Located in on of the safest area of Tokyo 3, Gendo Ikari's house was a fortress. With enough guards to fight off a serious attempt on his life, Gendo slept peacefully. Yet with all that security and preparation, the one thing that all this protection couldn't protect him from was a prankish angel. An angel who had come for... a little pay back.

You see, when Gendo created Rei Ayanami, he made a mistake. When he cloned her from the DNA of Lilith and his wife, Yui, something unexpected happened, something that he didn't conceive of happening. Lilith had transferred her true soul into Rei Ayanami, sharing the Body with the unborn daughter of Yui. Seeing the poor attempt to create a soul, she decided to wait and see what would happened. She took an instant deep disliking to the man after only a few days of being around him. It took awhile for Rei to believe her, but in the end she had gotten Rei to keep her a secret from the commander. After that, when ever she had gotten the chance, she did her best to make his life hell, turning his office pink and only been the latest blow. Now she was going to get some justice for all the people that he had hurt, especially for the pilots.

Fading into his room, Lilith was clutching the item that she had borrowed from Misato's room. On it where engraved to ominous words 'Louisville Slugger'.

'This... is going to be fun' she thought to herself. After making sure that he wouldn't wake up during the beating that he was about to receive, Lilith raised the baseball bat above her head, and then brought it down right on his hip.

After five minutes of beating Gendo senseless with the bat, Lilith slowly faded from the room. 'He'll live, but the next couple of months are going to be a constant and excruciating pain. Hmmm, lets see, a drink sounds good right about now.' Was her thoughts as she faded from site. The security camera's that where set up throughout his room had recorded nothing. just the now dishevelled and unconsciously whimpering body of the Commander of Nerv.

The next morning, Rei's apartment.

Rei woke up with an head ache that topped about 8.5 on the Richter Scale. It was only made worse by any movement and light, the problem was the sun was coming in through her window and directly on to her now scrunching face.

"Just what did you do last night?" Rei asked Lilith. Rei now was holding her head with both hands rather tenderly.

'I got into a drinking contest last night, that's all.' Lilith responded. A rye smile subconsciously within Rei's now throbbing mind.

"How many?" Rei demanded. her hands tightening around her head as her own voice made things worse.

'I'm not sure, I lost count after the fifth one, but check in your middle drawer. I put all my winnings in there,' the angel responded. It had truly been a night on the town for her. After coming home and changing back into the body that was Rei she had crawled into bed.

"Luckily we didn't end in some guys bed like last time." Rei said thinking back to that time a few months ago. It was one of the reason that she had tried to keep Lilith from coming out.

'Sorry, the guy just seemed so nice, and it had been awhile since I had gotten any.' the angel responded defending herself. 'Besides, he was worth it. I haven't had such a good time in the sack for a while.'

"I'm just glad that I didn't get pregnant." Rei replied. It would have been a very interesting day at NERV if she had to say the least.

'I made sure that you wouldn't, now get back to bed you ding-dong, it's a Saturday and you don't have any tests, so lets sleep off this hang over. Okay?'

"Do I have a choice." She answered back. Wincing slightly Rei drew the covers over her head and fell back to sleep. What Rei didn't know is that the other pilots where just waking up. Lillith smiled within as she joined her daughter in slumber knowing what was about to happen!

Misato's Apartment.

Asuka was the first to wake up that morning. It had been another dreamless sleep for her and she was glad for it. After she had started to sleep with Shinji her nightmares had almost stopped. In fact, her dreams had started to become happier. She was feeling better know then she had for several years now.

Heading for the bathroom to wash up, she didn't notice anything different. After getting undressed, she started to wash up. It wasn't until she dumped a bucket of cold water over her head that she noticed something was wrong. The first thing that she noticed was that her center of balance was off, after that she looked down and saw that two things on her chest where missing and there was something between her legs that should not have been there, in fact it wasn't there until a second ago. Seeing these changes, Asuka did the only thing that she knew to do in a situation like this. She screamed loud enough that the now Submerged Tokyo Tower swayed in the deep water.

Shinji heard the scream from his room, it sounded strange, but familiar. He jumped out of his bed and rushed toward the bathroom almost tripping over Misato who had come out of her room with her gun in hand. Misato had also heard the scream and had grabbed her gun before rushing out of her room. When the pair got to the bathroom Misato's pulled open the door, when she saw a strange boy sitting there she started to bring her gun up, it was when she almost had the sites lined up that Shinji crashed into her.

Shinji had come sprinting in right behind Misato. What he didn't expect was for Misato to stop almost in mid stride and start to bring her gun up. It was then that he realized that he wasn't going to be able stop. After running into Misato, he slipped on a bar of soap and took a header into the bath tub, which happened to be full of hot water. The last thing that he saw before he hit the water was a strange looking boy with blue hair with red high lights, and opaline green eyes.

Hot water flew everywhere. Everything and everyone that was in the bathroom got wet. There where several shrieks coming from the bathroom as the occupants got wet.

When Misato had shaken the water out of her eyes, she aimed her gun at the boy sitting in her bathroom. only this time she was surprised to see Asuka sitting there, what she said next surprised Misato even more.

"My breasts, there back, and that horrible... thing is gone." Asuka said as she grabbed her chest. It was then that she noticed Shinji sitting in the water next to her, and his eyes where not making contact with hers. So she did the first that came to her mind, something that came naturally to her. She screamed loud enough to wake the People's Republic of China. "Pervert."

Shinji was staring at Asuka breasts, truly the young boy had only seen a pair once before, and that was when he fell on top of Rei Ayamani. This time was different, they where right in front of him. He could have looked at them all day, but then came Asuka's shout of 'pervert', it was soon followed by a hard slap stinging from Asuka right hand.

As Asuka's right hand was busy slapping Shinji, her left hand was reaching for a towel to cover up with.

Misato just stood there trying not to laugh. When she saw Asuka slap Shinji she lost it. She started to laugh so hard that she fell over. Exposing her unclad lower regions to the Children. "MISATO!"

Later that morning.

Everyone in the apartment, with the exception of Penpen, was sitting at the table trying to sort what had happened that morning.

"So Asuka, let me get this straight, when you dumped a bucket of cold water on your self this morning you changed into a guy?" The purple headed major asked.

"That right, and I hope that it never happens again." the young German responded.

"What I wonder is how that happened?" Misato wondered out load.

"What if we just splash Asuka with cold water, wouldn't that cause her to change?" The pilot of unit 01 though aloud.

"Very good Shinji, but if it does work, how would I change back?" Asuka asked in a light, sarcastic noise.

"Well you changed back, so that means finding out what changed you back." Misato's told the red head. "Do you remember what happened when you changed back?"

"The only thing that I remember happening is getting hit by the hot water as Shinji fell in the bath." Asuka responded.

"Shinji, can you get me a glass of cold water and a glass of hot please?" Misato's asked him.

"Sure." was all Shinji said as he got up to get the requested items. Getting the cold water was easy, for the hot, he had to wait for the tap to heat up. While he was waiting for the hot water Misato and Asuka had kept talking.

"I hope this doesn't work." Asuka told her guardian.

"I know, but we need to be sure." Misato's reassure her charge. "Look, If it happens again, I'll give Ritsuko a call and she can have all this sorted out in a matter of hours."

"I know, but when I saw 'it', I just froze." Asuka stated, "I didn't know what to do, so I just screamed."

"I think that would be the normal reaction." Misato replied, "I mean, I can't imagine having one. I would rather be women then a boy."

It was at this time that Shinji reentered the room carrying the two glasses of water. As he was getting ready to sit down he tripped on an empty beer can that Misato had left on the floor last night. The two sitting at the table started to laugh when they saw the water fall on Shinji. They stopped laughing when they saw that the color of his hair had changed. It had gone from a brown to a bright red with blue high lights, there was also two new protrusions from his chest.

Shinji then started to pick himself up off the floor when he noticed that something was wrong. The shirt that he was wearing was tight around his chest and his hands seemed smaller. Everything was slightly blurry also. Getting into a sitting position, he noticed that there was a strange weight on his chest that seemed to shift as he moved. Opening his shirt, he looked down to investigate, he instantly went into shock.

Misato and Asuka where looking on as Shinji found out the extent of the changes.

'If what happened to Asuka was any indication, Shinji is going to freak.' Misato thought to herself. She had already figured out what happened to Shinji.

Asuka on the other hand just stared at the boy as if something was wrong with him. It was when his hand slipped into his pants that she suspected that something might be wrong. Her suspicions were conformed when Shinji started to yell.

"IT'S GONE." The boy, know turned girl, yelled. "LITTLE SHINJI'S GONE."

Misato jumped up to get a hold of Shinji before he tried to anything to herself. "Asuka," she shouted, "Get me some hot water NOW."

"Okay," was the German's response as she got up to get the water. In the mean time Shinji continued to scream.

"It's okay Shinji," Misato told the neo-girl as she held her in her arms, "We'll get you back to the way you where, just hang on for a second."

"It's gone, it's gone, it's gone, I don't want to be a girl, it's gone, LITTLE SHINJI'S gone." Shinji kept repeating to herself.

It was at this time that Asuka came running into the room with a glass of hot water which she promptly dumped on her head. Shinji's hair returned to it's original brown.

Feeling the weight disappear from her chest and the normal weight return between her legs, Shinji once again looked down her shirt and checked her pants. Sure enough, She had returned to being a boy.

"I'm calling Rits right now, I don't care if it's her day off," A flustered Misato said as she reached for her phone. Dialing Dr. Akagi's number she waited for her friend to answer.

"Hello," The good doctor answered.

"Hey Rits, I need you to look at Shinji and Asuka. Something strange is going on," Misato told the faux-blond.

"Maya will have to do it," Ritsuko responded. "I don't intend to step one foot in that place for the next three days, besides, I have my own problems at the moment," Dr. Akagi replied.

Dr. Akagi was currently sitting at her table drinking a cup of coffee, trying to get over what had happened to her during the night. She was lucky that she had bought open back chairs, as it allowed her new tail to swing freely. Her tail matched her new ears that where perched atop her head, both where the same color as her natural hair color, reddish-brown. Though it did answer one of her oldest fantasies, not having a male to be with and the constant smell of catnip unnerved her. Yeah Maya can handle it!

Okay folks, chapter one is out. I hope to bring this out too a couple of chapters before I end this.
