Neon Genesis Evangelion: The Spirit in the Machine

by Kuro Majiyo

We know the tale of Shinji, his struggles, his pain. However, sometimes, there is something different. Sometimes, a spirit will fight on, even after death. Sometimes, a coward can be a hero, when watched over by a legend.

Prologue

Kamina looked on, as his brother and team Dai-Gurren went off towards their final battle. He had finished his job, it was now in their hands. Kamina smirked. "Brother, remember to believe in yourself." he thought as he watched the distant green streak pass out of the sky. The Dimensional Corridor collapsed when it's prisoners left, surrounding Kamina with blackness. He closed his eyes, and sighed. Existing had been fun while it lasted.

Universes apart, and a young boy thinks similar words. Screaming for his life, he sits next to a lady a few year older then him as a gigantic being follows them, slicing through the numerous helicopters attempting to slow it's progress into Tokyo-3. His name: Shinji Ikari, son of NERV head Gendo Ikari. He had been summoned to see his father for the first time in years. He looked over as the driver screamed. "OH SHIT!!! Their using an N2 mine. GET UNDER ME KID!" He complied, and there was a huge blast. Light filled the sky.
