Chapter 3: Shinji in Trouble
Once again relying on the Sacred Jewel and Shave combo, the pilots arrived at NERV three minutes after they'd left Toji and Kensuke on the rooftop. Once inside, they made their way to the war-room and saw photos of the new angel.
"Please tell me I'm not the only one who thinks that looks like a …"
"Shinji, finish that sentence and I'll make Rei double your no kisses punishment." Misato snapped. "And trust me, I have my ways."
"…I'm going to think it."
"Think what?" Kaworu asked.
"That it looks like a guy's you-know-what." Mari sighed, unable to believe her boyfriend to be so oblivious to sex jokes.
"The Dead sea scrolls call it Shamshel." Misato explained. "It just landed three hours ago and breezed through everything the army threw at it."
"Do we know what it can do?" Rei asked.
"Those little tentacles on it?" Ritsuko pointed. "They conduct enough electricity to power a nation for years on end. Avoid like the plague, regardless of your powers."
"And the whereabouts on the other Evas?" Kaworu asked politely. "Mari and I would like the chance to battle as well."
"Units 3 and 4 are just about finished construction and will be transported via airship within a month or two." Ritsuko explained, not even really looking over the reports on humanity's last hope against the angels.
"And Unit 2?" Asuka asked. "I miss my baby."
The adults went silent. You could hear a pin drop in the room.
"What?" Asuka stared.
"The orginal plan was for it to be transported next week via boat. But, there were some…complications."
The other pilots took a step back. Out of all of them, Asuka was by far the most attached to her Eva; before Z-sensei came along, it was all she really had.
"C-complications?" Asuka repeated back. "What KIND of complications?"
"Well, when the German branch was informed of your…magmakinetic abilities…" Ritsuko started.
"That's the right word, but countinue."
"..They decided to fit Unit 2 with heat resistant and melt-proof fittings, but the end result was….Maya, could you?"
The young techie reluctantly put the image up on screen: Unit 2 now looked like a red, four eyed Pillsbury dough boy, with the gear giving it a huge girth and making its arms looking tiny.
Shinji and Mari burst out into laughter, falling onto their backs and slamming their fists into the ground before Asuka let out a roar, steam and magma bursting from her mouth and melting through the roof. The magma landed 'safely' in the lake of LC liquid.
"That's new." Shinji, Mari and Kaworu said, Rei nodding in agreement.
"So in short." Shinji mused, flipping on his shades. "I'm the only combat and EVA ready pilot again, right?"
"Exactly."
"Alright, let's get this over with." Shinji sighed as he took off his shirt on his way to the locker room.
"Ero-baka!" Asuka shouted, covering her eyes with her hands. "Save that for when you're IN the locker room!"
Shinji just stuck his tongue out and continued on his way.
"You know," Maya said. "All things considered, he's got a nice little body."
"Indeed." Rei replied, then glaring at the young techie. "He's mine. Back off."

"Unit 01, Launch!" Misato ordered, sending the purple mecha and its shade wearing pilot to the surface.
Immediately sensing its opponent, Shamshel swung its tentacles towards the Eva, intending to end this battle quickly and get to Adam. The fists of the Eva turned black and grabbed said tentacles, then the mech pulled the angel forwards and coated its right leg in Haki as well:
Storm Leg: Dimmed Edison Evisceration!
The blow gave the angel a scar and it fell to the ground, crying in pain.
"Oh for kami's sake, stop moving." Shinji begged, holding in his disgust. "Now you really do look like a flayling…"
Shinji's comment was stopped when he caught site of two boys on the battlefield: Two he knew; Toji and Kensuke.
"What the hell are those two idiots doing?" He asked himself before turning to the communicator. "Misato, we have a problem!"
"What is it, Shinji?" She asked.
"Two civilians, classmates of ours, have wondered onto the battlefield. Requesting permission to take them into the Eva."
"Denied." Ritsuko cut in. "Your sync-ratio is basic at best, and two unauthorized bodies will make it suffer."
"I wasn't you, good doctor." Shinji said snidely. "Misato, please!"
"Shinji, you only have a whole minute of power left, and if you…"
"Hold that thought."
Shamshel had leapt back upwards and was throwing its tentacles around like crazy. Unit 01 leapt skywards and forced its hands to familiar circles.
Holy Hail!
While the angel focuses on deflecting the flalling halos that had given its predecessor so much trouble, Shinji leapt down beside the two boys and ignored their screams as he ordered the hatch open.
"Get in you morons!" Shinji ordered. "And keep quiet, I need to concentrate!"
The two were not quiet, complaining about the LC liquid and worrying about cameras. The pilot looked at his battery life; 30 seconds.
"This'll be tight." He mused. "Better play it safe."
Sighing, Shinji let light envelop his form, then forced it out of his Eva, giving it a halo and brightening up the fading color.
Light of the Setting Sun!
The whole Evagelion began to glow with Shinji's light, recharging its batteries to 110%, giving him a full six minutes of power.
"Round two, dick-thing."
Unit 01, its fists once again imbued with Bushoku Haki, grabbed the tentacles, now practically overloading with electricity and held on for dear life. Shinji tried in vain to ignore the shock of the lightning, roaring in pain and determination.
Once again pulling the angel forward, the Third Child then summoned the Eva's knife and used the mech's mouth to hold it. The blade was then coated with Haki as a small orb of light appeared at the tip.
The two boarders of the Eva saw that Shinji was now struggling to stay awake and sweating profusely.
"No Shinji!" Rei begged from the control room. "Don't use that move that close! You could blow yourself up!"
"Remember what happened at Marineford!?" Kaworu asked, trying not to relive the memories of the horrible day four of the five pilots had gained their respective powers
Shinji ignored the pleas of his comrades, focusing all his fading energy on the orb of light on his Haki-knife
Excalibur-Roaring Bulb!
The orb of light suddenly shifted into a massive beam of light that went straight through Shamshel, along with an upward knife slash with added Haki and Glint-Glint powers. Shamshel was killed instantly, which NERV was grateful for. The blast also sent Unit 01, whose head unit was now burnt, skidding backwards through two mountains and almost reaching the city limits before Shinji forced it to stop.
"Whew!" Shinji panted. "That was close, almost thought I was going to lose there. You two…"
He then felt something burst from his chest. Looking down, he saw a stick, yellow clawed hand sticking out. Glancing behind, he saw a glaring and grinning Toji, now covered in black feathers.
"That was for my sister, you son of a bitch."
Shinji just chuckled a little bit before losing consciousness.

"SHINJI!" The pilots screamed in fear at the sight of their comrade's injury. Rei rushed to the screen, as if trying in vain to touch her beloved and try and stop his bleeding.
"Get a medical team out there yesterday!" Misato ordered. "And detain those two boys! Especially the bird boy!"
"No need." Asuka growled.
"We'll handle this." Kaworu followed in kind, a look of pure rage on his face as he and Mari drew katanas.
"Rei…." Mari cooed, only for the albino to rise up and walk out the door.
All NERV staff leapt out of the way of her way, knowing that getting in the way of a girl with ice powers whose boyfriend had just been injured in front of her was not a wise move.
All, except Commander Gendo Ikari, who blocked her way.
"Out of my way, commander." Rei snapped.
"Rei, what do you know about that boy?" Gendo asked.
"Now is not the time, Commander." Rei growled as she tried to walk around him, only to be grabbed by Section Two agents.
"Yes it is." Gendo said. "You said I could contact you whenever the Third was preoccupied…"
"His name is Shinji." A female voice said.
The Section Two agents and Commander feel to the floor, with only Gendo still conscious. He barely had the strength to realize that this was Haki like his son, but it was coming from….Asuka.
"About time!" The redhead smirked as she and the other pilots marched out of the Geofront. Before they did leave, she glared at Gendo.
"Pathetic. Too think the baka comes from your loins."
XXXX
"Toji, what the hell?" Kensuke asked in fear, surprise and disgust. "He just saved our asses and you just stab him in the back?"
"He almost killed Sakura." Toji growled. "And didn't even feel sorry. You're damn right I'm going to stab this cocky bastard…"
"Feel better now?" Shinji smirked, a little bit of blood going down his nose. "Nice Haki. Thought I saw on the roof…."
"Um guys?" Kensuke hollered, pointing to the latch to the Eva's cockpit. Toji looked up and saw it was glowing.
The door then melted, smoke erupting from the melted metal on the ground. Then there was the uttering of:
Grey Grapple
Toji soon found himself grabbed in a stretched arm made of smoke that grabbed him by the neck and pulled outside the Eva, on the ground and surrounded by four angry classmates of his.
"Bird-Bird fruit: Model Falcon." Mari said as she skimmed through a book she kept in her pouch. "A Zoan type."
"Easy prey." Asuka smirked as her arm began bubbling, only for Kaworu to step forward.
"Take a back seat, Asuka. You'd just kill him with your powers."
Asuka let out an indignant huff, but agreed (relucnatntly) and did what was asked of her.
"Where did you get that power?" Mari asked. "There're no Devil Fruit dealers in the 'modern' world."
"Not telling." Toji smirked as he leapt to the air, summoning wings as he did so.
"Flight doesn't really protect you against, the elements, you know." Kaworu sighed as smoke surrounded his form and he rose his arms into the air.
Smoke Stack Spear
Toji was suddenly downed by two punches straight to the gut, then an unseen force bringing him down back to the earth, where his feet were soon covered in ice.
A scream suddenly filled the air.
The jock and three pilots turned to see Rei, having crawled into the cockpit of Unit 01, cradling Shinji in her arms as she stepped out and placed him gently on the ground.
The pilot of Unit 01 was bleeding profusely from the stomach hole, his skin tone growing colder and colder.
"What did you do to Shinji?" Rei asked.
Toji failed to notice that Rei's demeanour and face were not in their usual stoic manner; she was visibly twitching in anger and grinding her teeth, glaring at Toji with utter hatred.
"I just gave him what he deserved." Toji smirked. "And I'd do it agai…"
"WHAT THE HELL DID YOU DO TO MY SHINJI!?"
Ice burst all over the field, forcing the other pilots to leap towards the sky and making a screaming Kenusuke leap back into the Eva in terror.
A roaring, yes roaring, Rei leapt towards Toji and buried an ice coated leg into his chin before extending both her index fingers and declaring:
Finger Pistol: Snowflake
Toji was sent flying into the shoulder of the Eva whose pilot he'd just attacked. Ignoring the freezing sensation in his fingers as best he could, he then swung his claw onto Rei who ordered
Iron Body: Iceburg
Toji's clawed hand broke on contact with Rei's face and he screamed not only in pain but the chill he felt.
Chilly Casket
Toji found himself entirely encased in ice, barely able to move anything but his eyes. Rei summoned a spear of ice and marched towards him, swinging in practice. The ice then turned black and cracked slightly.
Throughout her charge, Rei's hatefilled eyes had ever left Toji's form. She stood in front of her frozen target for a good minute before reading to swing her spear, which cracked under the buckle of extra Haki being pumped into it.
"Die." Rei hissed, tears in her red eyes.
Kaowru leapt in front of Rei with a strange saw like sword, their weapons and Haki clashing against each other.
"Control yourself, Rei!" Kaowru hissed, leaping in front of his comrade's target. "I share you anger, but we need him alive for information! We need to learn how he got that Devil Fruit!"
Rei huffed and puffed, glaring at her comrades, then her intended victim….then finally her bleeding beloved.
In the midst of the albino's battle, the frozen Toji had been sent flying into the air, only to suddenly slam back down and be free of the ice, but unable to move. He glanced up and saw Mari pointing her Katana at him
"Stay down, bird boy." Mari growled. "I can make the gravity as heavy if I want. Don't test me."
The medical team then appeared.
"Took you long enough." Asuka snapped.

Shinji awoke in what appeared to be a cell, his chest bandaged and an IV in his veins.
"The one time you want a hospital bed, you get a jail cell." He sighed, pushing himself upwards and tearing the bandages off. As he'd expected, his Logia powers had kicked in and repaired the damage.
"Asuka's never going to let me hear the end of this one." He mused.
The door then opened, revealing Misato looking at him angrily.
"What do you have to say for yourself?" She asked.
Shinji shrugged.
"Sorry for not waiting for the okay to save those two and juts pumping my powers into the Eva without permission or thinking of consequences?" He guessed. "But look on the bright side, I killed the damn thing."
"That's practically a moot point." Misato growled. "I'm your commanding officer while you and the others are stationed in Tokyo-3, Shinji. You need to follow my orders and protocol…"
"And under normal circumstances, I would've been more than happy to do so." Shinji said. "But the circumstance were not normal: Civilians were in danger and I had a plan I had no time to explain. 30 seconds, Misato! It'd taken 15 at best to explain it, and then another 15 for your response."
"You put the operation in danger." Misato reminded him. "Those boys are being interrogated by Section Two and their parents? Whoo boy, I feel sorry for those two, even for the jock who attacked you."
"Once again, I did what I had to." Shinji said. "I killed that thing and protected civilians. Besides, it's a Marine and soldier's duty to be prepared to make the sacrifice."
Misato was shocked by Shinji's answer.
"Is that what you really feel about your life?" She asked.
"No, I just follow Moral Justice." Shinji declared. "I always try to do the right thing; even if I have to bend the rules to do so. I don't always follow blindly, I try to think of the grand picture. To be honest, the others are most skilled than I am. If at the end, I die saving somebody, I'll die with a clean conscious, ready to meet mom and tell her I did what was right. Any ways, I'll prove I'm better than Pops."
"There'll be consequences for your actions and that attitude unless you change it." The Major sighed. "Remember them."
"All due respect Misato, the falcon claw to the chest is memory enough to me." Shinji said, stretching and returning to his bed.
"Maybe you're not suited for this."
That line got Shinji's attention.
"Wait, what?" Shinji asked.
"Your fath.,."
A wave of Haoushoku Haki filled the floor as Shinji glared; section two and various other staff members were knocked out.
"Misato, that….man….is not my father." Shinji growled. "Remember that."
"…The commander thinks you're emotionally immature for this position."
"Bull, he just wants me gone so he can try and control Rei again." Shinji snapped, inwardly thinking that his so called brilliant father was so immature. "And to stop hearing me comparing him to Z-sensei."
"And like you just said, apparently the other pilots are more skilled." Misato added. "Even with your third type of Haki, you don't seem to take fighting all that seriously. This is a war, and we can't have a solider like you."
"Who put you up to this?" Shinji asked. "Was it Gendo? Because this all seems…"
"Shinji." Misato cut in.
He kept quiet.
"I don't want to do this." She whispered. "I still remember the cute little boy called me pretty and nee-chan. But I can't afford for insubordinate soldiers."
"One question." Shinji asked as Misato got ready to leave. "Is this about you caring about me, or about how I'm potentially screwing about your revenge on the angels?"
The major was silent for a minute, then sighed.
"You'll be released in three days." Misato explained. "Use the remaining time to think about what I said."

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN, HE ESCAPED?" Misato shouted so loud she was heard throughout the Geo-Front not two minutes later.
"He just vanished!" A security member. "He was in the room when you left, then he was gone when the door closed!"
He then played back the footage. Sure as he said, Shinji was still in the room as Misato finished her lecture, but just before the door closed, he was replaced by a small ball of light that zoomed out the closing door.
"Oh wow, what a shocker." Asuka smirked, looking at her nails. "You know, Z-sensei would've taken proper precautions to make sure the baka didn't escape so easily."
"Asuka…" Mari whispered in a 'shut up' way.
"I'm just saying, I'm not saying how to."
Once she got over the shock, Misato turned to the other pilots.
"What did you do?" she asked, focusing on Rei.
"I did nothing." Rei said simply. "None of us did anything. You seem to forget Shinji's powers, major."
"Moving at the speed of light is relatively simple for Shinji." Kaowru smiled.
"Yeah, he once said it was as easy as breathing." Mari mused.
"Well, where'd he go?"
They all shrugged.

Shinji resumed his human form in a forest outside Tokyo-3 and let out a deep sigh, sitting down to take a nap under a tree.
He was awoken several minutes later by the boiling of water and crackling of fire. Following the sounds, he came to a small campsite.
He then sensed a presence trying to sneak up on him.
"Kensuke." Shinji mused. "Figured you'd be at home, grounded or something."
"Oh I was." The Otaku smiled, stepping out of the bushes. "But after a while, my folks kicked me out of the house for a few hours. Figured I'd go camping."
"Doing pretty good, by the looks of it." The Third Child mused. "Wish I'd been this prepped during my training."
"How'd you know it was me?" The otaku asked as took out some plates, taking the meal off the fire.
"Haki has more then uses that strengthening the body." Shinji mused. "Once I meet someone, I can guess where they are pretty well."
Kensuke then placed the rice and meat onto two plates, and the two began eating over the fire. They sat in silence for a long time.
"So…" Ken started
"I'm fine." Shinji smiled. "My powers nearly immediately heal me all the time. I just hadn't suspected Toji to have Haki. That'll teach me to lower my guard. I can already Asuka yelling at me when I get back. Speaking of our jerk jock, how's he holding up?"
Kensuke actually started laughing.
"Rei nearly killed him before the interrogation started. Apparently it was so bad he pissed his pants and gave the staff everything they'd ever want to know about him, and some stuff nobody cared for."
Shinji laughed.
"Aw man, I missed Rei being protective…she's so cute when she gets mad, you know."
"…I'll take your word for it." The nerd said, remembering the utter look of terror on Toji's face whenever he heard Rei's name. "And…for what it's worth, Toji says…"
"No need to apologize." Shinji sighed, looking at his meal. "He deserved the chance to get a hit on me."
….
"So, we went to your apartment yesterday…." Kensuke started.
"And?"
"We met your guardian, Ms. Katsuragi!"
"Oh kami, I knew it." Shinji sighed, facepalming. "Look, she's taken. Her boyfriend Kaji raised Asuka and taught me the basics of fighting. He's a really cool guy, but he can get very, very, very raging hot if he wants to. And besides, she practically raised for a while before Z-sensei took me and the others in."
"I'd kill to be in your shoes!" Kensuke said. "Saving people, fighting monsters, surrounded by beautiful women…"
"No need for murder, I can make that happen, you know." Shinji smiled.
He then handed Kensuke two slips of paper; a fairly blank one and a card with the symbol of a smiling skill with elephant tusks, a spiky crown and two small bones sticking out. A golden cross/sword ran through the skull.
"I can't get you into NERV unless you're one of the chosen children, but you're welcome to join the Neo-Marines." The Glint user smiled. "You get to travel, meet interesting people…occasionally find a fruit that gives you superpowers…Think abou.."
"WHEN CAN I START?"
Shinji smiled and returned his not empty plate.
"First thing next Saturday, 7am sharp. Bring workout clothes and be prepared to leave feeling places you didn't know you had."
He then got up and started glowing.
"And don't lose that other piece of paper. If anything happens to me, you'll know thanks to it."

"I'm back."
It was three days later. Section Two had been running all over looking for Shinji, only to have just missed him at every turn.
"Enjoy your outing?" Misato asked, some snootiness on her tone.
"Don't know, did I make you pop a vessel?" Shinji smirked. "What're you going to do now, Misato?"
"I'm this close to having you drummed out for insubordination." Misato growled. "Have you thought…?"
"I'm staying in Tokyo-3." Shinji said. "Our contract with NERV is simple; either all of us, or none of us."
"Not if one of you is deemed unfit for duty."
The shade wearing pilot sat up.
"No….you didn't."
Misato handed him an envelope.
"A ticket back to you aunt and uncle's." She explained with a sigh. "There's travelling money inside, and paycheques for your time at NERV; enough to lounge for a couple of years. We've made arrangements with the Neo-Marines, so don't try and go back to them for backup."
"No." Shinji said.
"Shinji, please." Misato said. "Don't make this harder…"
"I'm not going back to those two." Shinji said. "I'm. Staying. My friends and Rei are here. We're a team! And last I checked, I'm the only ready pilot!"
"Then you'll be sent to be held into Impel Down until you change your attitude." Misato said. "Besides, Ritz says she's fixed up Unit 00, so Rei will take your place."
"Change my…?" Shinji asked. "Whatever happened to counselling our training? Impel Down, are you kidding me?"
"Shinji?"
The two arguing turned to see Kaji, Rei, Kaowru and Mari watching the whole thing.
"Oh geez…."
"Fine." Shinji said as he went to his room and grabbed his one box of belongings. "I get it. I was out of line and I'm not fit for this job."
"Shinji, please don't!" Rei begged. With a sad smile, he kissed her forehead. He then hugged Kaowru, shook hands with Mari and pumped fists with Asuka. He then walked out the door, saying as he left:
"And just so you know Misato, I still think of you as my sister."
When the door was slammed, Misato turned to see Kaji standing in the kitchen, sighing.
"I know it was your job Misa-chan." He said. "And he did disobey orders. But you didn't have to be like that. He may have superpowers, but he's still a teenager."
Misato then did something she hadn't done in a while: she broke down into tears. Kaji raced to and embraced her.
"I just wanted to do the best thing for him." She cried. "I didn't want him to get hurt again…"
Asuka, watching the whole scene from her room, took out a snail with shades like those Shinji wore.
"Z-sensei?" She asked, leaving a message. "Something's happened."
She then left her room and joined the two adults into the hug.
"Don't worry, he'll be back." Asuka smiled. "He can't leave Wondergirl alone for long."
The other teen couple nodded in agreement, only to see said Wondergirl went back to her room, and pulling out her own snail, tried in vain to contact Shinji.

The next day at school, the pilots all seemed down in the dumps. They avoided Toji like he had the plague or glared at him whenever he came within eyesight. Toji in turn, wet himself whenever he heard, saw or so much as thought about Rei.
The blue-haired girl just stared out the window at her seat, not paying any attention to the class lectures.
"I'm so sorry ladies." Kaowru sighed during his tutoring session at lunch time. "I'm just a little down…my best friend got in trouble for doing the right thing."
"You always hate insubordinates until you befriend one of them." Asuka sighed. Not even her habit of throwing away love letters or gifts could cheer her up.
Mari just yawned, making the teacher's eraser float up and down with her pencil.
Throughout all of this, Rei had stared out the window, ignorant of anything around her…until she sensed and saw a familiar face in front of her.
"Shin…?"
Rei's question was ended when she suddenly vanished out of the classroom.
"…ji?"
She then realized she was out of school, in a grassy plane covered in…oh, she knew what was going on.
Her boyfriend was sitting in front of a grave marker, his locket opened to the picture of his mother. He'd taken off his glasses and placed them in front of the marker.
"Hey mom." Shinji smiled weakly. "Been a while, huh?"
Silence took the area.
"A lot's happened since…you know. Where do I start? Well, I hate Gendo's guts for leaving me with his cousin, who never gave me the time of day. I don't see how you fell for him….Anyways, life sucked for a while, then I met Z-sensei, who brings me into the Neo-Marines and turns me into the guy you see before you; a wisecracking, insubordinate…"
Rei gently took a step forward, wanting to comfort Shinji, but unsure if she should or not.
"I've brought somebody to meet you." Shinji said quietly. "I know I may be a little young to say this, but she really is the love of my life. She's a lot like you, you know; smart, beautiful, great sense of humor even if it doesn't show all the time."
Shinji then patted the ground next to him. Rei sat down and bowed to the marker.
"Hello, Mrs. Ikari. My name is Rei Ayanami; I'm Shinji's fellow pilot and beloved. He makes me smile and treats me very well. I feel I should tell you that Gendo raised me instead of Shinji…I'm technically a partial clone of you…"
She stopped talking, but a gentle hand on her shoulder from Shinji gave her the confidence to continue.
"Much like Shinji, I was enlisted into the Neo-Marines for training….We've made many great friends, even though sometimes we wish we didn't know them; they are characters; Asuka is proud and flaunts everything she has, Mari is battle hungry and Kaowru, Shinji's best friend….well, he's something else entirely. But…I can safely say we love each other like family. And Shinji, your precious son and my soulmate, was the first person to show me that affection. Please grant us your blessing, Yui."
A gentle and warm breeze passed through the air: the couple didn't know how, but they felt like it was Yui's answer: 'yes.'
They sat in front of the marker for a long time, enjoying each other's company.
"Where should we go?" Rei asked.
"Seabody?" Shinji mused. "HQ? NERV has no idea were either is, and we'll be safe until we can come up with a way to
Rei suddenly smiled and looked over her shoulder.
"That may not be nessacary."
"SHINJI! REI!"
The two turned to see a panting Misato and the other pilots racing behind her. Shinji began to glow, only to be embraced by Misato.
"I'm so sorry!" Misato bawled. "I did all that for such stupid reasons and actually believed what Gendo said about the Neo-Marin…"
Shinji stopped her with a risen hand, which he then brought down.
"I was kind of an ass myself." Shinji said, a gentle smile on his face. "I forgive you, Misato-nee."
The other pilots and Kaji then joined in the hug.
"Let's go home, okay?" Asuka smiled sweetly. "I ordered in, so it'll actually taste good."
"Ha ha." Misato quipped back. "Shin, can you?"
Shinji smiled and brought his hands
Sacred Jewel Mirror!
Shave!

When the group got to the apartment door, two familiar faces were waiting for them.
"What are you doing here, Toji?" Rei growled, summoning her ice spear.
"Whoa, whoa!" Kensuke asked. "Give Toji a chance to explain himself."
The jock walked up to Shinji, not looking at him. All he said was;
"Sorry. Please, hit me as a hard as you can."
"Okay," Shinji smiled
"Wait, what?" Toji asked. "No, wait, you're supposed to be relcunatnt, or say…"
"Toji…." Kensuke smiled.
The jock sighed.
"Just not the face, please?" He begged.
"Oh don't worry." Shinji smiled. "I'm not aiming there, and I'll go easy on you."
He then swung his foot into Toji's 'important place.'
"There. All is forgiven." Shinji beamed, pulling Rei into the apartment along with the others.
