Chapter three
A Chance Meeting
It was night fall when a large column of golden light shot down to the forest outskirts of Tokyo-3 from the sky. The light dissipated to reveal a beautiful woman wearing a revealing red bodysuit complete with armor and swords. Taki took to her surroundings and deduced she was in a forest.
"This is where the Asarian energy originated from." Taki said observing the city from a distance.
Taki stepped out of the forest and into the clearing onto a hillside overlooking the city,
The lights were bright and city was very noisy, but Taki would not be distracted. Getting into a meditative state, Taki closed her eyes and focused her mind and channeled the power of her spirit as she allowed herself to fall into trance. A simple technique, once one has mastered the basics of Spirit Channeling.
Various images came to her mind all at once. She could see nearly everything, from various nearby locations, from the smallest trivia to something very large scale. It suddenly stopped when a silhouette of a boy with golden necklace, which she recognized as the Asarian Amulet one of the three ancient artifacts.
"A boy? A boy has found the artifact. But how? Only those of royal line may have them. Unless…" Taki thought standing up. "I must find him, to know for certain."
Suddenly a flash of light caught her attention
( Misato's apartment)
It was evening as Shinji was locked in his room once, Asuka was at her friend Hikari's house and Misato was still at Nerv, so he had a night of peace for once. Since Shinji didn't have much to do, so he just sat around his room and read, or tried to as his thoughts shifted over to his mother's necklace. What where those images he saw? Was there really a world far beyond that of earth like in the old myths. It sounded something out of a fairy tales, but still …
"Why would you hide this mother?" Shinji whispered picking up the golden object
It really did seem like an ordinary necklace to a normal person, yet Shinji was fascinated with the necklace, he squeezed it gently. The object suddenly glowed brightly, as did at Nerv.
"What's happening?"
In a blink of an eye Shinji vanished from his room, and found himself in a forest.
"How did I get here?
Again almost instantaneously he vanished in a bright flash of light
(With Taki)
"I sense the Asarian energy nearby." Taki said looking around the forest then seeing a bright flash of golden light "It must be from the amulet."
She immediately set off to find the source by hopping the trees at lightning speed.
Before she could go further she senses the signature disappeared again.
"What? The energy vanished! Could the boy have tapped into the amulets power?"
'Can it be that he is"
The trackers thoughts were halted the light flashed again, disappearing from its location.
"What? How the hell I get here? " Shinji questioned looking around finding himself on top of a roof
"Just what the hell is thing?"
Shinji was very tempted to drop it right there but couldn't since it was his mother's heirloom, so it wouldn't been right. The amulets glowed again but Shinji gripped it tightly as if trying to cancel out it's power. And oddly enough it worked
Shinji just sighed in relief.
"So you're the one I've been searching for."
Shinji looked behind him to see a very beautiful shapely woman wearing a revealing all red bodysuit standing behind him
(With Taki.)
Taki had traveled back towards the noisy city, using her graceful shadow skills she blended in dark alleyways of the city, within no time she reappeared below the building where she detected the energy signature. Before she could enter the building she found herself surrounded.
"Well look here boys. We got ourselves a cosplaying cutie." snickered a teenager in a school uniform, with three others as they proceeded to surround her.
Taki didn't know the term "Cosplay" but readied herself nonetheless
"Step aside." Taki ordered
"And what are you gonna do if we don't?"
The woman said nothing, except hit a back elbow on teen coming from behind her. Then kick the one in front her in the face. Then finally Taki unsheathed her sword and tanto and skillfully and cut the last one; His shirt fell to pieces while he stood flabergasted. Looking down on himself the message was clear; so he scurried off.
With that taken care Taki looked up at building, putting her hands together and making a hand sign, with a breif glow she vanished. Then reappeared ontop of the roof at last finding what she had been searching for.
"So you're the one I've been searching for" Taki said startling the boy.
End Chapter
End Notes: I like to thank Bandit WereWolf for betareading. Sorry if the fight scene was a little lackluster I haven't played Soul Calibur in awhile. I'll try to do better on the next chapter. What might happen next is either Taki goes back Asario and brings Shinji with her or Taki contacts Palutena and she brings her entire army on Tokyo-3 during the next angel attack. Let me know what needs to happen. Also there's a new poll on my profile for potential love interests for Shinji in another Eva story I'm planning. I haven't decided the pairing for this yet so its up the air. Might turn it to SXR might not because there aren't enough of those anymore. Please Read and revie and be cool
