Alright! Chapter 2 is now up! I'll try to update this fic as much as possible because I have the entire fic planned out and I don't want to lose that focus. Please review!
Chapter 2
Honey! I'm home!
"I can't believe it's really you Grand-ma Misato!"
Misato's heart stopped beating as those words echoed in her ear. She could almost swear that she could hear twilight zone music playing in the background. Then she turned back to the children standing behind her while the girl calling herself her grandchild was still latched onto her.
All the bridge techs were quiet as Ritsuko's jaw was almost to the ground. Shinji was blinking and almost in a catatonic state. Asuka looked the most shocked, she was bug eyed while her jaw was flapping a hundred miles an hour. Misato then regained her composure the best she could from the shock and looked at her German charge with red glowing eyes.
"ASUKA! You have some explaining to do! RIGHT! NOW!"
Asuka shook her head clear and glared at the captain. "And what makes you think she is telling the truth? I mean look at her! She looks like she's ten or so. When could I have given birth? When I was like four or something?"
Then the mystery girl let go of Misato and walked in front of a now peeved Asuka. "Hmm… You really were more irritable when you were younger mama. Plus not to mention papa was right when he said that you didn't hit your growth spurt till later. I'm almost as tall as you!"
Everyone looked at the two and could see Asuka's left eye twitching. Misato gave a sigh seeing the situation in front of her. "Looks like you, and just as brash with a superior attitude. If she isn't related to you in at least some way, then I am the owner of an elephant."
The girl just continued to look at Asuka, who was now starting to turn a little red. "It's true though! I am your daughter mama! You gave birth to me some time after third impact occurred. That's why I have a green A.T. field. It's a result from angelic radiation mixing with my genetics while I was developing before birth. Mama was even able to manipulate the field while I was still in her womb. At least that's what my parents told me."
That immediately quieted everyone. Everyone's minds starting racing after what she just said. But the most worrisome was the commander himself. While the whole commotion had been playing out below him, he was pondering what the effects this stranger would have to his scenario. Now he knew, she was here to stop it.
Katsuragi managed to find her voice somehow after this little tidbit of information was being processed in her brain. "You mean to tell me, your from the future?" The only answer she got from the girl was a nod. "But if that's true, then you can tell us how third impact started. We might be able to stop it!"
The commander started to sweat at this outburst from the captain. If it was true this child was from the future, then she could expose his instrumentality project. He could not allow it. "Captain Katsuragi, you are ordered to eliminate that child immediately! She is a threat to Nerv!"
Everyone looked up to the commander like he was insane. Here was a girl saying she was from the future with knowledge on how third impact started, and he wanted to eliminate her?! "Sir! Are you aware the implications of what she just said? She just said the we failed to stop third impact! If she's telling the truth, then lots of people are going to die. But with her knowledge of what happened, we would be able to stop the angels from initiating third impact!" exclaimed Misato.
But then the girl turned back around to Misato with a slight frown. "But it wasn't the angels that started it. You guys did stop all the angels. It was him and his evil angel lady who started the third impact. That's why he wants me dead. I guess papa was right, he would be willing to try to kill his own grand-daughter to start instrumentality."
Asuka immediately perked up at hearing the last part of that statement. "Ha! That's proof you can't be my child! The commander isn't my father! If you were mine, you would have known that the commander… is… Shinji's… father… OH YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME!!"
Everyone had returned to their state of shock. Shinji started swooning as if he was about to feint. The girl who had turned there lives upside down proudly stood there and held out her hand in a peace sign. "Yup! You got it mama! My full name is Misato Langley Ikari! But you can call me Misa because it will get to confusing with Grand-ma having the same name as me. But anyways, we came back to stop Grand-pa from starting the third impact!"
The poor doctor of Nerv was finally able to find her voice for the first time during this whole exchange. "We? As in, your not alone?"
Misa gave a huge grin, "Nope! Mama and papa are coming too! I just got a head start on them!"
Gendo was starting to sweat. Not only had this thing showed up and blown open his plan to proceed with instrumentality, but it had informed everyone his future son was returning here. And if he had any guess at what his son would be feeling like when he arrived, he would probably be pissed. He needed to take back immediate control of the situation. "Classify her as an angel, it's obvious she's trying to pit Nerv to fight amongst ourselves to destroy us. And the fact she has an A.T. field is proof enough that she is an angel."
Misa just smirked and looked at her grand parent, "And exactly how do you plan to get past my A.T. field then grand-pa? Which by the way, is a result from being born after third impact that you had started?"
A low growl could be heard from the commander as he looked over the bridge. "Second and third child, get to your Evangelions now. Eliminate this creature."
Misato had enough. It was one thing to be a bastard to her charges, but to make them kill their own future child? She was going to draw the line there, but a voice next to her caught her off guard.
"No father! I won't. If what she says is true, then if anyone needs to be stopped it's you."
Misato and everyone was stunned as Shinji moved up next to Misa and stood next to her. It looked as if he was willing to fight with his bare hands if need be to protect her. Even Asuka was shocked at how Shinji could be so protective over the girl.
"Don't worry papa," said Misa, "I could always activate the Evas incase things get hairy."
Ritsuko looked at the chibi Asuka with still wide eyes. "Activate… the… Evas…?"
"Yup! Because mama and papa can synch with them, I can as well! I'll even prove it to you guys by beating up grand-pa there with them!" exclaimed Misa.
Misa then closed her eyes and held out her arms in a cross shape. Everyone was silent as they wondered what she could possibly be doing. After a few moments though, she spoke up. "Grand-ma Yui, grand-ma Kyoko, can you hear me?" she whispered.
Asuka went wide eyed as she heard this. "WHAT THE HELL DID YOU JUST HMMPH…!" Misato had jumped on Asuka and was doing her best to restrain the girl and not interrupt Misa. "Look, if she can do this then we'll know she isn't lying. So shush Asuka! You can get your answers later!"
The Misa's eyes opened and were glowing green. "Unit 01, Unit 02, Activate!"
At once the computers started going haywire. As the bridge techs started looking over all the systems, Misa actually started to float an inch off of the ground. They then started shouting out everything that was happening.
"Units one and two have activated! Synch ratio is coming in at one hundred and thirty percent!"
"That shouldn't be possible though! There isn't even an entry plug inserted!"
"Restraints being removed! We have no control over them!"
"They're heading to the catapults! Current setting for them will have them dispersed inside the Geo-Front!"
During the commotion, all Misato could do was stare at the commander. Seeing the girl controlling the Evas due to her heritage was convincing enough for her. "You bastard! You were going to backstab us in the end and start third impact yourself. And for what! What could possibly make you willing to destroy everything we fought for?! Well I'll let you know, I'm going to look forward to your execution!"
Gendo just stared blankly at her like if she was just a pesky insect. 'Where is Rei? I need her to take care of this situation.'
"Ma'am, Unit 00 has activated! It's the first child! Patching thru comms. now!" yelled Ibuki. Then Rei could be seen on the video feed on the main screen. 'Good.' thought the commander. "Rei, you orders are to eliminate this child on the bridge and anyone who stands in your way. Anyone who tries to stop you has been corrupted by the being and must be stopped."
Rei looked up as she commanded her Eva to pick up a prog axe as she headed to the catapults. "Understood Sir."
Hearing the voice, Misa turned to look at the feed and the glow in her eyes vanished. She settled back down to the ground and stared in horror at the screen. A small whimper could be heard from her as she bolted to Misato and latched on to her. Everyone looked on as to see what had happened to the girl.
Maya then turned back to her computer and saw the read outs on the screen. "Both units have deactivated. Both units made it halfway here from the catapult exit points."
"Don't let the evil angel lady get me grand-ma. Please don't…" whispered the now frightful child that was in Misato's arms. Misato looked between Rei and the commander as this piece of information reached her ears. It was now clear that Rei was indeed far from normal, and was tied to the Commanders plans. "What? What are you?" she asked Rei thru the video feed.
Not giving an answer, Rei willed her Eva to make a hole on the side of the bridge. It didn't interrupt or damage the video feeds or magi, but it still gave her a clear view at her target. Asuka jumped between the two Misatos and glared down Unit zero. She'd be damned if she was going to let her hurt her future child, whether or not the father was the wimp known as Shinji. "Your gonna have to kill me to get to them, first child!"
Asuka had a firm smirk on her as she had thought of a way to make her back off. Unfortunately for her, it totally backfired on her as Gendo gave Rei the ok to kill her. "You have authority to eliminate both the second and third children Rei. They have been contaminated."
Asuka blanched at the thought and scooted back, surprisingly into a firm body. Looking behind her, Shinji was standing there, staring down the Eva. 'Great… he finally gets a back bone and actually looks like a hero for once, only for us to get squished by an Eva. Figures…'
But all the while this transpired, the computer consoles were going haywire. The bridge bunnies weren't paying attention though, seeing as how an Eva was about to kill them all. Just as Unit zero went to reach out to squash them, a shout rang out that sounded like it came from over the comm. system.
"Hey! WonderBitch!"
Everyone stopped in their tracks. Even the Eva stopped as Rei was trying to figure out where it came from. Shinji looked to Asuka, "Umm, Asuka? Tell me that was you we just heard?"
Asuka looked back and shook her head slightly. Then it came again over the comm. system.
"Get the hell away from my daughter!"
All of a sudden a red hand grabbed Unit zero by it's face and threw it back. The unit landed on the ground some ways back. Everyone looked up at the Evangelion that had just made itself known. It looked just like Unit 02, except it looked like it went thru some cheap patch up job. There were sheets of metal riveted here and there, while two of the eyes were covered with makeshift eye patches. It looked really dirty and even seemed to have rust in some areas. It then limped forward slowly to stand between the hole and Unit zero to protect the people inside.
Misa looked up from Misato and her spirits lifted. "MAMA!" she screamed. Just then a video feed opened next to Rei's on the command bridge. There was a woman wearing a red plugsuit with fiery red hair. All around her were various monitors and metal boxes with open wiring all over the place. She looked to be as tall as Misato and again looked exactly like Asuka. Looking up, the woman gave a giant smile, "Misato! Thank god your alright baby! Now don't you worry, your father should be here soon and we'll take care of this monster. Just stay with grand-ma and protect everyone, ok?"
The child looked like she had strength poured back into her as she got up and released a huge A.T. field around everyone. "Gotcha mama! I'll protect them all!"
With a smile, the older Asuka looked to her opponent. Unit zero had gotten up and grabbed it's prog axe and was ready to fight. "Well then you monster. Let's go! Engaging prog knife!"
There was then a hissing noise and some steam bellowed out from where the knife holster was. But the knife holster didn't open. Misa then slumped down a bit and looked at her mother's image on the video feed. "You didn't recheck the weapon storages, did you mama?"
A huge sweat drop formed on the older Asuka's head as she started to laugh a little. "Hehe… not really. I was too worried about you and all the stuff needed to make the trip. so I just kinda just glanced at the other stuff."
Misa put her hands in her face and started to shake her head slightly. "Mama…"
The older looking Asuka then saw that Rei was ready to strike. "Shiest! Oh well, will have to make due! I am so screwed!"
Unit 02 prepared to take the hit from the prog axe, when the axe was stopped short by hitting an A.T. field. Rei looked up in confusion. "This makes no sense, I neutralized the Unit's field." Then Rei's eyes bulged out slightly. "Unless this is something else's field."
Misa gave a small gasp and clasped her hands in anticipation. The older Asuka just gave a wide smile, knowing it was all over for the albino girl.
Then another voice soon yelled over the comm. system. "Get the hell away from my wife!"
All of a sudden, Unit zero was smashed into the ground by a very pissed off Unit 01.
Well I hoped you all liked this chapter. Again please review your thoughts or concerns concerning this fic. Also I like to give kudos to SithKnight-Galen. He was the one who thought up the nickname for Misato. I am always horrible at coming up with names. If I ever have kids they'll probably be named after numbersto make it easy for me. Until next time, take care!
