Before Evangelion

"Father please don't go!" A ten year old Shinji cried out to his father who was walking away. "I have no use for you." Gendo said walking towards a helicopter. Shinji cried while his father walked away, its the only thing he could do.


2 days later

Shinji was walking down a dirt road thinking what had happened. 'That bastard abandoned me.' Shinji was deep in thought that he didn't hear a jeep pull up next to him.

"Hey kid you all alone?" A man with dark shaggy hair wearing sunglasses asked looking to be 32. Shinji didn't answer, he just looked the people in the jeep, there were four. The one driving had fire red hair spiked back he look to be 24. One in the back had jet black hair tied back into a pony tail looking about 21. The last one look to be 17 and a female, her blond hair covered one eye.

"Hey kid." The shaggy haired man tired again. Shinji still said nothing and kept walking. The shaggy man looked that his buddy's in the jeep, picked Shinji by his collar and brought him into the jeep. They drove off to town with Shinji screaming bloody murder.


Jacks Grill

"So your names Shinji and your father abandoned you because he 'had no use for you'?" The shaggy haired guy who said his name was Vergil asked. He had on a red T-shirt, and black dress pants and one glove on his right hand. "Yes." Shinji said as he took a drink of his water. "That bastard." The jet black haired man know now as Yasha said. Wearing a white dress shirt and jeans.

The women they called Yuna spoke up. She had on a black T-shirt with no selves and a black skirt going done to her knees. "Hey Shinji, have you held a gun before?" Her group stared at her. "Yes I have." Now they stared at Shinji. The red head know as Duo asked, "Have you fired a gun before." He wore a blue jacket over a green shirt with tan pants, Shinji was confused.

"No I haven't, my mom told not to play with guns." Shinji said still not knowing where the conversation was going. Vergil yelled out, "Hey Jack got any D ranked." a reply came "Hell's ya I do." It came from a old man maybe 62.

"Give us one."Vergil said. Jack looked shocked. "You guys do a D. Hahaha." The old man laughed out load. Yuna looked at Shinji, "Do you have a place to go?" Shinji looked at her with sad eyes. "No." Duo patted Shinji on the back. "Well then, welcome abroad."


Shinji found him self on the back of the jeep holding a custom made snipe rifle, heading to a place unknown. It had a 16 bullet ammo magazine, the recoil had be toned down a lot. The high powered scope was made for see over a mile away, when fired the rifle it had a muffed crack. It was also designed to fire at a rapid pace. Vergil was trying to explain how to use it to a ten year old...what the hell.

"Ok we are going to drop you off here." Duo said stopping the jeep at a sand dune, it was dark out and Shinji was getting sleepily. He got on he's stomach, like he was told. Looking through the scope at the lights about 200 yards away. He could see people at the camp. He could even see the guns they were holding.

Shinji reached to he's ear, "I count...20" Counting the number of people. He heard Yuna start to talk, "Alright Shinji you ready?" Shinji didn't know what to really do. Shinji replied "I guess so." Shinji looked through the scope of the rifle. Yasha spoke up, "Alright Shinji engage." A muffed crack was heard as one guy fell then another one across from him. "Um...I think bullet ricocheted." Shinji spoke up. 'The kids good.' Vergil thought.

Vergil and Duo started planting bombs around the camp, while the enemy was in disarray trying to find the sniper. Muffed Cracks could be heard in the distance. They had planted around 32 bombs, all of which where C4, and had about 43 left.

'Talk about over kill.' Yuna thought as she and Yasha ran out and engaged the enemy with a Colt AR-15 A3 Tactical Carbine with a Colt 4x20 scope. Yuna engaged with twin Desert Eagles with a 45 bullet clip in each. Taking out a fair amount of people each. Yuna took down five more guys before reload her weapons.

Yasha was having a hard time taking out the people hidden behind two buildings. "Damn." He threw a grenade making it bounce of the building behind them into the path way in between the two builds. It exploded killing the people hiding there.

"Yuna behind you!" The muffed crack sounded again as Shinji fired at the three person behind her, killing all three people with one bullet. "No way!" Vergil awed. "Damn Shinji are you sure you've never fired a gun before." Duo shouted as he joined the firefight.

"Duo to your right!" Yasha said throwing a grenade in a fox hole killing five people. He looked around before spotting someone "The last one?" Yuna also noticed the same guy. "He's running." Crack,the last guy dropped in the sand. "Alright we're out of here." Vergil stated as he shot one of the guys in the head execution style. Crack, a bullet whizzed by Vergil head, killing a guy behind him with a knife in hand. "Um...did I do good?" Shinji asked over the head set. "Shinji!" Vergil yelled.

"Um...Yes sir!" Shinji thinking he was in trouble. "Welcome to The Demon Hunters."


2 years later

A twelve year old Shinji rode on the back of the jeep with his comrades. They had just arrived in Germany, they had a hard time sneaking in they "tools" as Yuna called them. "So whats the mission Yasha?" Duo asked. Yasha looked over the papers in hands. "Well we're suppose to protect the daughter of a scientist of GEHIRN, Kyoko Zeppelin Soryu said to be the best. Asuka Langley Soryu..." Yasha voice dropped out.

"Seem like an easy mission for a B rank." Shinji added after being with these guys for two year he matured a lot faster that most guys. He was fit but not buff and no pushover, you could be three times he's size and he'll still kick you ass. Also his eyes were so trained that he could see the bullet leave the barrel for a split-second. He was faster than most of the snipers he knew. They arrived at the house of which was told as the meeting place Yuna got out of the jeep and rang the door bell. A man answered the door, when he did Shinji pulled out a pistol and fired at the roof across the street. A sniper fell his perch in to a dumpster.

"Sorry about that." Shinji said putting his pistol back. People in the street and in the households where taking cover not knowing what was going on

"Ah you must The Demon Hunters, and you be the Devils Eye." The man said indicating to Shinji. "Please no autographics." Duo added trying to sound like Shinji. "Asuka your ride is here." A girl hide behind the door not knowing who the people were. She finally step out, a goddess (to Shinji) came out those doors.

She had fiery red hair that went to her neck, her ocean blue eyes reflected the sun. She was wearing a college school uniform. If Shinji wasn't trained to, he would of stared in aw. Asuka stared back at Shinji. 'He's/She's pretty cute.' They thought at the same time. Asuka started walking toward the jeep.

"So we are to drop her for college." Duo asked the man. "Yes you are to and pick her up at 3:30 after her class are out." The man said. Asuka hopped in the jeep and they rode off toward the college. "So whats your people's names?" Asuka asked, Vergil started, "I'm Vergil that's Duo..." Indicating to the red head' "Thats Yuna..." He said pointing to Yuna, "Thats Yasha and Shinji." Vergil said pointing to Yasha then Shinji. "Shinji." Asuka let the name roll off her tongue. Shinji felt smug.

"Hey Asuka watch this." Shinji said taking out a paint ball rifle. He aim at a stop sign three block ahead of their jeep he fired the paint ball, and it hit in the dead center of the O. "Wow!" Asuka said clapping her hands. "Hey Shinji." Shinji turned to Yuna who threw him a school bag. "What the hell?" Shinji asked. Asuka gasped she recognized the school bag as the one that her college uses.

"Wait thats my college's bag!" Asuka said pointing to the bag. Shinji looked a Yuna, "Oh no, I'm not going to college again." Yuna smirked, Shinji sweatdropped, "Oh crap!" Yuna threw Shinji on to the back seat of the jeep. "Yay school clothes!" Yuna shouted, and started taking off his clothes. "Get off!"

Asuka covered her eyes, taking one glance at Shinji's tone body. She blushed heavily, 'Claim down girl, you only met them today.'


They arrived at the college Asuka and Shinji got out of the jeep, an started walking to the college. They were two meter from the school when Shinji tripped Asuka and threw himself on top of her. "Shinji! What..?" The windows in front of them exploded, dust covered them. Five men came out the door next to blown out windows. They wore army uniforms carrying SMG's.

They started firing into the dust, for 45 seconds then stopped. The leader stepped forward, "Alright round up the body's." Crack, crack the guys on the far left and right fell.

"What the..." The leader felt a gun press to the back of his head, he dropped his weapon. The two on both sides of him dropped their weapons too. "Who the hell are you people?" The leader asked. Duo holding his gun to the leaders head replied "We're The Demon Hunters." The dust cleared reviling Shinji with his sniper rifle, scratched by debris from the explosion. Asuka was not even scratched when she appeared from the dust, dirty though. (From the dirt pervs)

"Who are you people?" Vergil asked. The leader smirked, "Wouldn't you like to know." He press a button on his uniform. Tick, tick, tick, Vergil and the others jumped away for the leader, Shinji placed himself between Asuka and the leader, who exploded 5 seconds afterwards. Killing him and his comrades beside him.

Shinji hide Asuka's eyes from the sight of the body's. He turned Asuka around and walked her back to the jeep. Asuka, herself was stunned she'd never seen someone take a life and remain claim. 'Are they that cold hearted or maybe they...' Asuka felt herself being put back in the jeep.

"So what now Vergil?" Yuna asked getting in the jeep. Vergil thought for a minute,then he pulled out his cellphone and dialed a number, while climbing into the jeep. "Hello its us. ...Yes we were attacked. ...Asuka will be leaving Germany for a while." Vergil hung up the phone. "What we're leaving Germany!" Asuka cried. "Not us, you and Shinji."Vergil said calmly.

"Wait why just me!" Shinji cried out while packing his rifle. Vergil turned and looked at Shinji. Duo had started up the jeep and started heading for the airport. "Because me, Duo, Yasha, and Yuna will be the decoy, while you and Asuka get out of Germany safely." Vergil pulled out his wallet, pulling out a ten hundred dollar bills, a credit card, and a piece of paper with numbers on it.

"Here the money should buy you the tickets, the credit card has enough money to support you us for two years and get you through the rest of college Asuka, and the paper has the number code to money stored in the banks incase you run out of money." Shinji took the money, credit card, and piece of paper and put them in his wallet and gazed at the road. Asuka looked confused. "Why just me, what about Shinji?" Shinji tore his gaze from the road to Asuka. "As I mentioned earlier, I've been through college." Asuka got a little pissed.

"Well aren't you the incredible Shinji." Asuka spat out. Shinji glared at her "No I'm not incredible, I've had my share of mistakes. Most involved staring right at death's face." Shinji spat at Asuka. Asuka calmed down. "Sorry." She said looking away from Shinji. "It's fine." He said going back to staring at the road.

They arrived at the airport an hour later. Shinji grab Asuka's hand jumped out of the jeep and ran inside. The rest watch them go in. "Good luck...kid." Yasha said as they drove away from the port. Upon getting to the exit they heard a loud, rapid beeping. "OH CRAP!" Yuna yelled, then the jeep exploded. Sending Yuna, Duo, Yasha and Vergil flying threw the air. Duo and Yuna had died when the jeep exploded. Yasha hit the concert head first and died upon impact. Vergil hit the concert but was still alive. 'Damn how could we not know about a bomb'. A piece of debris from the jeep landed through Vergil stomach, killing him.


Asuka heard the explosion and turned her head to see the flames in the distance. She was pulled sharply by Shinji. "Hey what was that for?" Asuka asked still being pulled by Shinji. "If they find us, they'll kill us on sight." Shinji said stopping and buying the tickets for him and Asuka. After getting the tickets and their bags back. Shinji grabbed Asuka's hand and instead of pulling her he walked calmly to the terminal. "Hey how did you get your..." "Because I can, don't asked those kind of questions in airport." Shinji said, calmly walking away from the front doors.

Shinji noticed that they were being followed soon afterwards.

Shinji squeezed Asuka's hand to get her attention. "We are being followed, don't complain just follow me." Shinji turned walking into the boys bathroom dragging Asuka in as well. 'Can't we have gone to the girls restroom at least.' Asuka thought.

Shinji threw Asuka behind him, behind a wall. He heard a gun being loaded, a guy walked in. Shinji grabbed him and broke his arm, making him drop the gun, it was a hand gun with a silencer on it. The guy grabbed Shinji and threw against the wall. Shinji hit the wall getting the wind knocked out of him. The man pulled out a knife and rushed at Shinji, the faint sound of a gun going off was heard and the man fell to the ground, the bullet hit the wall above Shinji's head.

Asuka stood behind the man holding the gun. Luckily for them it's one of those airport that doesn't have cameras in the bathroom. Asuka still was holding the gun shaking. Shinji moved toward Asuka grabbing the gun gently out of her hands. "It's ok Asuka, it's ok." Shinji said hugging her. Asuka was still shaking, and was muttering to herself "I killed someone, I killed someone, I killed someone..." Shinji replied to her "If you didn't I'd be dead right now. Come on we need to leave now." Shinji said throwing the hand gun in the trash.

Asuka awoke from her daze, then nodded. They walked calmly away from the bathroom and to the terminal. Which upon arriving, the plane was boarding. Shinji handed the ticket taker their tickets and they got on the plane in time for the other people following them to just miss to see them get on. Shinji and Asuka took their seats. 5 minutes afterwards the plane was on the runway ready for take off.

"By the way Shinji, you never told me where we're going." Asuka asked, Shinji smiled "We are going to the United States of America." Asuka smiled widely. "Wow I've always wanted to go to America." "Well now you get your wish." Shinji said then grabbed Asuka's hand. "Do you trust me, Asuka?" Asuka looked confused.

"Yes I trust you." Asuka stated. "Even though we met only 1 hours ago?" Shinji asked again. Asuka looked him square in the eye. "You're the only one I can trust right now. Right?" Asuka said smiling.

"Well then let me formally introduce myself. My name is Shinji Ikari, it's nice to met you." Shinji said sticking out his hand. Asuka giggled a little. "My name is Asuka Langley Soryu, nice to met you. Please take good care of me." Shaking Shinji's hand. "Well since this flight will take a while, let get to know each other better." Shinji stated. "Then I'll go first..."


Meanwhile at NERV under Tokyo 3

A tall blond haired women wearing a blue shirt under a lab coat with dress pants, her ID said Ritsuko, was going over a pile of data of the pilots chosen already for the evangelion. She ran across something she hadn't seen before and it just come in from Germany. "What is this?" She asked herself before opening it. "Oh my god!" Ritsuko scrambled to the phone. "Connect me to Commander Ikari now!" Ritsuko demanded. She waited for a couple of seconds "What is it Ritsuko?" Gendo asked in his cold, calm voice.

"The pilot that was stationed Germany to pilot 02, has left Germany!" Ritsuko said. "So?" Gendo replied coldly. "She left with your son Commander!" Gendo was taken back. "With Shinji? Whats he doing there?" Ritsuko replied "There was no sign of him coming in." Gendo thought for a moment "Do you know where their going." Ritsuko looked back at the computer.

"It looks like America." Ritsuko said. 'America huh?' "It doesn't matter right now Ritsuko at least we know where their going. Keep me up dated." Gendo said. "Right." Ritsuko said hanging up the phone. 'But why America?' She asked herself getting back to work.


On the airplane a couple hours later.

Shinji awoke to the sound of the captain over the intercom. "We'll be landing in America in 5 hours." The captain said in a heavy accent, Shinji felt pressure on his shoulder. He looked over to see Asuka laying her head on his shoulder.

Shinji looked out the window of the plane. 'Well we'll see what in store for us. Right Asuka?' Shinji thought. "Hey Asuka wake up." Shinji shook her awake, Asuka groggily woke up. She rubbed her eyes free of sleep dust, she looked around at her surroundings. 'Still on the plane.'

Asuka looked at Shinji, "What is it?" Shinji smiled, "You look cute waking up." Asuka blushed. "Is that all?" Asuka asked looking away. "We'll be landing in 5 hours, we need a plan for getting off the plane." Asuka looked confused "Why?" Shinji sat back in his seat. "Well I doubt they just let us go just because we got on the plane." Asuka stared at Shinji then laid back in her seat.

"So what do we do?" Asuka asked. Shinji thought for a moment. "Not a clue." Asuka was dumb founded. "Whaaa?" Asuka couldn't believe what she was hearing. "We'll just deal with it when the time comes." Shinji said before going back to sleep. Asuka was still dumbfounded by Shinji, but the more she looked at him the more she found him to cuter and cuter.

Asuka laid her head back and slowly joined Shinji in sleep.


5 months after landing in America

Shinji felt the bumpy road under his Toyota Tundra as he was driving back to the house that he and Asuka lived in.

'I hope she doesn't shoot me in the head.' Shinji thought as he pulled in to the driveway of the 20 acre house. The house had two floors and a basement, with the 20 acre's Shinji had been teaching Asuka how to survive, how to defend herself in almost any situations and how to fire some weapons of different types. He had to run to the nearest town and bought some shotgun shells.

"I'm home!" Shinji called as he walked in the front door holding the shells in boxes, in a bag. After two steps in to the house he realized some was wrong. "Asuka?" Shinji walked to the back door and opened it their dog Kato came running up to Shinji.

"Hey boy where's Asuka?" Kato looked at something behind Shinji. Shinji now felt the presence of someone behind him. The person lunged at Shinji, he dodge to the left, Kato having been trained moved to the right. Shinji first saw the wooden training knife, then he saw the arm, and finally he saw Asuka. She skid to a stop in front of Shinji with angry look.

"Damn I thought I had you." Asuka said, Shinji smirked at Asuka. "Your still two year inexperience to ambush me." Shinji looked at the table about 2 meter away from the house, on laid a bunch of weapons. Ranging from handguns to shotguns to rifles. He walked over to the table, sat the bag down, and grab a Norinco HP9-1 shotgun.

He pointed it out to the open field and pulled the trigger, when nothing came out he pumped a couple of time making sure there were no shells in it. He pulled out a box of shotguns shell, he grab the shotgun and had Asuka follow.

He got to the firing range, he started loading the Norinco. "Watch how I loaded it Asuka." Shinji said loading the shotgun placing the shells in having the metal part go in last. When he finish loading the shotgun he handed it to Asuka. She shouldered the weapon and aim at the targets. When she fired she was aiming at the target, but shell hit to the left.

"Huh?" Asuka was confused, to why the shell missed. Shinji came from behind his stomach pressing against her back. "It's your stance, Asuka." He said making her switch her leg stance. She aimed again and fired, is time she hit it. 'Yes, alright.' She praised herself. Shinji backed off Asuka as she continued to fire and reload.

She spent 25 shells before stopping. "Very good Asuka." Shinji praised her, Asuka smiled as she put the gun down on the table near the house. "Let get so lunch." Shinji said walking into the house. 'Yes let enjoy this happiness for awhile, peace doesn't last forever.'


1 year and 6 months later NERV Headquarters

"Ritsuko sent out the invitations to the pilots." Gendo said calmly. Ritsuko looked at him from her computer. "All ready done." She replied. Going back to her computer hitting the send button.

A tall man with white hair stood next to the commander. He wore brown business suit, standing at 6'3. "Can you believe after fifteen years." Gendo still looked straight ahead. "Yes the angels are coming back."


At Shinji's and Asuka's home 6:30 a. m.

Shinji awoke to the sound of Kato barking at something. Only wear a white T-shirt and boxers, he untangled himself for his girlfriend's grasp and threw on some sweatpants. He walked down stairs, Kato was at the front door barking, "Kato down." The dog stop and sat but was ready to strike if he felt his master was in danger.

Shinji opened the door to find two men in business suits with sunglasses. "Can I help you gentlemen?" He couldn't see their eyes but he knew they where staring. "Yes are you Shinji Ikari by any chance?" Shinji looked at they he if they were trouble he'd have a hard time taking them down.

"Who, may I ask, is asking?" The men looked at each other, then back at Shinji. "We are with NERV, and are under orders of Commander Gendo Ikari to give you this letter." One of the men said handing him a letter. 'From my father?' Shinji opened the letter.

I have a use for you

come to Tokyo 3 someone will be

waiting to pick you up. Bring Asuka

Langley Soryu with you

Signed Commander Gendo Ikari of NERV

Shinji stared at the letter, he looked back at the men. "How long do we have to pack?" Shinji asked the men. "You have one day." Shinji looked back at the letter. "Long enough. Good day to you sir's." Shinji as he shut the door.

"Who was that Shinji?" Asuka asked come down the stair. Shinji looked at his girlfriend and tried to smile but couldn't. "Pack up, we're leaving tomorrow." Shinji said heading up the stairs. Asuka looked confused. "Why?" Shinji handed her the letter, Asuka read over it. "I wonder if it has anything to do with the Evangelion Project." Asuka said, heading up the stairs after Shinji.

"You mean that giant robot project you told me you were a part of." Shinji said going over to his computers and shutting them down and unplugging them. "Yes, but I didn't know your father was head of it." Shinji laugh a little while packing up. "That bastard had a way of surprising people." Asuka sat down on the bed. "So we're going." Shinji stopped "Yay." Asuka sighed, "But why?" Shinji turned and looked at her, "Because I want to say hi."


A day and 7 hours at Tokyo 3

"We sorry because of the state of emergency all phones are currently out of order." Shinji hung the phone. The city alarm went off again. "Dammit where is she." Shinji cursed, Asuka looked at the photo in her hand. "Misato Katsuragi eh...This sucks."
