| Returning Warrior Arc |
Shinji Ikari has unknowingly been under the protection of two of the strongest Devil clans ever since he rejected Instrumentality at the height of Third Impact. However, when two Fallen Angels and their Stray Exorcist ally set their sights on the Heavenly Coins they are assured he carries, the Forgotten Messiah is once again thrown into the realm of the Supernatural.
Second Contact
I Am (Not) Sure
"OK, good, that makes this simple. Let me get straight to the point. You up for a fuck?"
It had been three years since that disastrous first kiss. He hadn't even looked at a woman since then, must less anything more. And that time in the hospital did not count. The world reset, so clearly there was no need to count it. Though, if that was true, then he hadn't even had his first kiss yet either… As such, the young Ikari did the only logical choice for someone as pure and innocent as he wished to view himself.
He ran away…

"Told you he wouldn't go for it."
Panty Anarchy was fuming as her sister Stocking flew past her in their pink Hummer.
"Yeah, yeah, whatever. Don't fault me for trying. Let's just get this over with and get those Heavenly Coins."

"I swear, if you say anything about narrative causality, I will find a way to strangle you."
Fine…
In his panic, Shinji had fled to the local park, leaning against the central fountain. Twilight was upon the world, so the park was mostly abandoned. A few stragglers here and there, such as a silver-haired bishounen leaning against a tree and a ravenette Yamato Nadeshiko who was idly talking to a likewise ravenette meganeko.
Unfortunately for Shinji, his pursuers' next action were too quick.
"WHAT?!"
In the same instant that all eyes snapped to silver for his sudden outburst, Shinji looked down to see a blue and white striped sword had pierced his chest.
"I'm sorry to kill and run," started the gothic loli as she walked in front of him, "but it seems your friends aren't going to give me much chance to talk. Don't worry, my sister and I will be sure to put your Heavenly Coins to good use."
With that, Stocking simply vanished. And as the blood slowly drained from Shinji, he couldn't help but feel as though this wasn't all that surprising. There was no way he deserved a happy life, not after everything he had done. To think he could find peace, there was no greater lie. He let out a strangled laugh, though it broke into more of a gaggle as he began to cough up blood.
As his eyes began to close, he could just make out two female figures approaching him in haste, before he was enveloped in the red glow of a magic circle. A magic circle with a crest showing seven eyes upon an inverted triangle.
A/N: First off, let me apologize. I know it's been a while since I last posted. I got REALLY interested in the Infinite Loops stories, and spent more time reading those fanfics that writing my own. And it didn't help that the My Little Pony loops have over two hundred chapters and two and a half million words to burn through. Took a fair chunk of my time. Also, I want to apologize that this chapter is a fair bit shorter than you might have hoped it to be. I actually redesigned the next Arc, meaning a fair portion of what I had intended to put in this chapter was removed. Plus, the cliff hanger itself was a bit of a hard break. Next chapter will be longer, though. That I promise.
Also, for those of you who are curious about our silver-haired pretty boy, I suggest looking into the American Kitsune book series by Brandon Varnell. Thinks might start making a bit more sense after that. If not, it'll make sense pretty early on in the next arc. Hope you don't mind waiting. :)
See y'all around the net!
