Chapter 2: WTF!!!

*****

"And so, with the end of third impact, souls and energies merged to create life once more. An ancient form of manipulation appeared once again. The humans, although primitive and crude, realised it to be magic. They abandoned their planetary self-destruction and embraced once again the force of life."

-Archmage teachings from the third generation.

Shinji woke up feeling every bone in his body ache. He turned to see a very much alive Asuka, and a very disorientated Rei. "Asuka! Are you okay?" Shinji asked quickly. "What happened?" Asuka asked. Shinji paused for a moment before the rush of memories hit his mind. The 19th angel, Touji killing Asuka, Rei calling out his name. Shinji felt light headed before falling down.

"OUCHIE!" a high-pitched voice squeaked.

Shinji snapped back up and turn around to find a little pixie whiz around his head. Grabbing the pixie he shook it hard. "Who are you?" He asked impatiently.

"The 19th angel duh."

"What are you doing here?"

"Seeing your progress. Now let me give you a quick background of what happened."

Asuka and Rei lent in to hear what the 19th angel had to say.

"Ever since you moved forward in time, the laws of nature changed. Without you the people degenerated back to their normal selves. However, all because of your disappearance from the dimension, forms of power you called magic rose once again, and life has begun to return to Earth."

"What year is it?"

"2010 years after third impact"

"Magic? Did I just hear wrong?" Shinji asked as the reality of the words struck him.

"No. Magic is most simply described to you children, the ability to change not only their own AT field, but also to generate and alter other people's AT fields"

"Okay."

"You are now in the city Tokyo 3. Magic and trade has be the focal point of this city."

"Have people made the same mistakes?"

"Oh no, people have become smarter and learned to use technology less. Although bandits have increased drastically the people feel safe."

"What do we do here Mr Angel?" Rei asked.

"First, I'm a Miss. Second, just call me Belinda." The Angel replied.

"What are we waiting for?" Asuka asked, "We have a world to discover."

"This!" Belinda cried and pointed at them.

Shinji, Rei, and Asuka looked at themselves.

"ARGH!"

"I'm ten years old."

"I have 5 years to grow up again?"

"Don't worry," Belinda said as they faded again, "5 years will get you acquainted with this world. It'll be over in no time"

Is this a dream, or is it a reality?

2015 ATI (After Third Impact)

"Cock-a-doodle-doo!"

The morning rooster crowed into the distance. "Cock-a-doodle-doooooo!" The rooster crowed, but before it could crow again it was nabbed by a fire spell from a Gendo Ikari. Yui Ikari got out of the bed she shared with Gendo and woke the household. Gendo sniffed the air and smiled. "Ohayoo" Gendo greeted Yui. "Ohayoo" Yui greeted back. The morning was calm and serene until …

"OH! YEEEAHHH!!!" Misato's morning cry always woke up the oversleeping servants.

Gendo chuckled and said, "I'll go and wake up Shinji."

Gendo arrived in front of the door bearing the sign: Shin-chan's lovely Suite.

Always a sight in the morning…waking my…

Gendo blinked in disbelief. A Redhead was snuggling up to a very wide-awake and scared Ikari, and it wasn't Gendo.

"Morning Shinji." Gendo said stifling as much amusement in his voice before donning his pink fluffy earmuffs.

The Redhead stirred and slowly got up.

"Morning Otoo-san…" Shinji replied.

The redhead turned out to be Asuka

A silence began

(Tumbleweed rolls across the bedroom)

If one looked carefully, they would see that Gendo had wired a SDAT into his earmuffs.

Gendo looked quickly Asuka before looking at Shinji accusingly.

"Otoo-san, its not what you think!!" Shinji said nervously.

Gendo smiled. "About time you got stuck to girls Shinji, although I think it would have been much nicer if we were introduced first before she slept in your room."

Shinji and Asuka both blushed beet red and Gendo cracked a laugh before leaving the bedroom.

Dining room

*****

Misato, Shinji, Gendo, Yui, Asuka, and the servants went down for breakfast. Shinji cooked a western breakfast, not hard since trade barriers had long since vanished and all kinds of food were available.

"Itadakimasu," they repeated before eating the breakfast.

"This is nice Shinji," Gendo complemented.

"Indeed, our son had a hidden talent," Yui remarked.

Asuka stole a glance at Shinji, who blushed and tilted his head down.

Misato didn't eat breakfast, considering she could solely survive on Yebisu for a week before eating.

"Gochiosama deshita," Gendo said as he wiped his lips, "I have to go to work early today. You'll have to get driven by Misato today."

Shinji yelped. "I'll walk today," Shinji asked. "What's wrong?" Asuka asked. "Do you remember how Misato drove?" Shinji whispered back. "Oh…I see." Asuka replied before joining Shinji.

Tokyo 3 High School

*****

Shinji entered class with Asuka following behind him.

"…" A girl resembling Hikari Horaki stood up and offered Asuka her hand.

Asuka looked at Shinji. Shinji nodded. Asuka shook her hand in a gesture of friendliness when suddenly the redhead's hair puffed into an Afro. The class burst out laughing.

Asuka glared at Shinji as they sat down.

"What?" Shinji asked, as Asuka was staring daggers behind him.

"You should have warned me" Asuka replied.

"Magic, Asuka, magic. I don't know what tricks they planned today."

The door opened, and in waddled the teacher.

A hot-springs peguin. (Author's note: It's not Pen-Pen)

"Morning class." The penguin half quacked.

"Stand, Bow, Sit," The class rep almost sang.

"Thank You," The penguin said before hopping onto his desk.

"We have a new student transferring from Germany today. Please welcome Asuka," The penguin stated.

"Hi." Asuka smiled nervously.

"Who is he?" Asuka whispered to Shinji as she introduced herself.

"The teacher. He got polymorphed back when he was a child. But he's brilliant as a teacher."

Soon they sat down. The teacher began with a lecture about third impact. Asuka turned on the laptop on her desk. Looks like these were not outdated She thought as she booted it. The screen displayed "Doors vs. 2000300405690" ™ before almost instantly booting to the desktop. Asuka decided to test a few of the new games. She turned on Doom 3452 ™ and prepared to play. She saw a demon coming up quickly to her figure in the game, and prepared to shoot it to hell. But before she pressed the trigger the demon had disappeared to behind her and killed the hero. "Damn." Asuka muttered as she prepared to start again. A beep from her computer made her game minimise.

[To: Red Head; Sender: Glasses]

Hey,

You wanna try me in Doom?

Kensuke Suzuhara

Asuka's pride flared as she looked at the nerdy figure behind her. Her hands flew across the keyboard, and the kid eagerly awaited a response.

[To: Glasses; Sender: ReDbAbE]

You're on.

Asuka booted the multiplayer and checked her PING rate. –4956. This'll be an cinch Asuka thought. The enemy appeared before her. Kensuke really had a big head with his skills and she was ready to burst his bubble. She shot her machine gun at Glasses, but Glasses didn't move. Emptying her clip she stood facing her challenge. Glasses typed an in-game message: "You suck ReDbAbE". Asuka's expression changed from smugness to surprise as Glasses fragged her fifty times in the next 5 min, without taking a bullet.

Shinji heard Asuka frantically tapping the keys to frag Kensuke at least once when he decided to invite himself. The message: "You have joined" appeared and he started playing. Shinji smirked. Kensuke was easy meat.

In the following 2 min, Shinji fragged Kensuke about 100 times, leaving Asuka in a trance. Shinji typed: "You suck Kensuke", and was still able to frag him after sending the message.

Shinji turned off Doom 3452™ and listened to the rest of the exciting lecture.

The lunch bell rang. Asuka and Shinji departed together to the cafeteria. A handsome boy approached the two and he introduced himself. "Hello. I am Darien," He said smoothly. "Hi," Asuka said before blushing. Noticing something, Shinji muttered a spell. "Dispel," he whispered and Asuka suddenly looked confused. She looked at Darien as he said, "Will you go out with me Asuka?" Asuka suddenly felt no attraction towards Darien, and said: "Sorry, I'm with Shinji here." Shinji blushed.

Shinji extended a hand towards Darien and said, "I'm sorry, but Asuka isn't officially my girlfriend." Darien took Shinji's hand and shook it. "Silence," Shinji muttered while Darien muttered a second love spell, "Attracto." Unfortunately for Darien, Shinji's spell was cast first and the love spell faded before affecting Asuka. "Crap, you win," Darien said before rushing off. "Does anyone have an Esuna spell?" Darien shouted as he departed.

"So, Shin-chan, how do people cast spells here?" Asuka asked as they ate lunch.

"Magic here is stored in units. Unlike in the primitive western countries that summon from MP (Asuka huffed up) Japan stocks pure spell energy, and they release spells to their full potential. This also allows spells to be quickly transferred without teaching it." Shinji looked proud, "And Father is designing a Medium which would control the two spell casting techniques together. I think it was called Materia."

"So Gendo works for Fuyutsuki now?" Asuka asked.

"Yep, and Father's a proper father now." Shinij smiled. "Do you want to help test the Materia with me when they are in the beginning stages?" Shinji asked suddenly.

"Okay, its good to know you aren't the pervert I thought you were. Baka," She said sarcastically.

Shinji finished his Obento and headed outside. "I'm going to see Rei," was all he said.

Rei Ayanami was sitting by a tree outside. Noticing Shinji her cheeks flushed a light pink. "Hello Shin-cha…" She began when Shinji clamped a hand on her mouth. She looked at him indignantly and he replied, "You know I dislike you when you call me that. People might think things." "But Shinji, you know I only live for…" "Rei," Shinji's voice was very desperate, "Please stop that. You sound like Kaoru"
