Final Fantasy Genesis

ESKK: Here's chapter 3 of Final Fantasy Genesis so enjoy.

(Start)

In a dark room Gendo sat on his seat before monoliths that had the words SEELE on it and a design of a face with seven eyes as they looked. "Gendo do you realize the threat Bahamut poses to the Scenario?" A member asked as he sounded scared.

"Yes Bahamut according to Enocia's lore is one of the Three Divine Summonings virtually a God as Bahamut is the King of all Dragons." Another spoke as it was evident that Bahamut has them spooked.

"It is fortunate the boy does not know how to properly summon it yet but if he realizes the power he possesses and decides to summon Bahamut to combat us it would doom the entire scenario and damn mankind to this dying world." A member of SEELE said as Gendo looked.

"I will keep the boy under control and will use Bahamut for the scenario." Gendo said as he had his hands linked together before his mouth.

"Now on to the matter of the Crystal we have yet to locate its whereabouts in Enocia as the leaders have been stubborn and refuse to reveal it. They fail to realize that what we are doing is for the betterment of humanity after all the pain of death is also the joy of rebirth." Keel said as Gendo looked.

"Now on to the matter of the EVA it was good to see our earlier investments have not gone to waist but the price on repairs can bankrupt a country." A member of SEELE said as another spoke.

"Yes what do you have to say for yourself in light of these kinks in our scenario Gendo?" One asked as another laughed.

"I would like to see how you pull yourself out of this one Ikari." He spoke as Gendo looked.

"I will continue to have NERV battle the Angels as planned and continue with the scenario." Gendo said as SEELE seemed to approve the answer.

"Very well we shall discuss the budget requests you made thank you for your time you are not needed." A member of SEELE said as Keel was the only one left.

"Remember Gendo all our hope is riding on this." Keel said before he too vanished and the lights came on revealing Gendo in a green hologram room.

"Yes after all humanity has no time left the Garden of Eden is upon us." Gendo said as he smirked behind his hands.

(Meanwhile NERV Hospital)

Oban, Vale, and Ventus sat in Shinji's hospital room as they were still his body guards and now that they have Bahamut they can take back Enocia one Shinji masters the way to summoning him. "So what now we head back to Enocia and kick the JSDF off our land?" Ventus asked as Vale looked.

"It won't be that simple defeating an enemy once won't win a war and with NERV needing Highness to pilot the EVA we are basically trapped here until the end of the Angel Wars." Vale explained as Ventus look.

"Oh come on, on our way here every one shot racial slurs and glares at us even the faux blond." Ventus said before Oban spoke.

"Understandable but Vale's statement is logical but there is logically a bright side." Oban said as Ventus look. "We may use this time to help his highness master summoning Bahamut and Odin as well as perfect his skills that way we may be able to stand a chance and defeat the JSDF, but it is illogical as to why they would occupy our land especially after we had proven time and time again that we mean no harm even if SEELE told them too." Oban said as Vale looked.

"Perhaps there are puppet masters behind their acts but we hold no proof for the time being we should keep an eye on NERV perhaps they too are pawns in this game of chest." Vale said as everyone nodded.

Shinji soon began to stir as Oban looked. "His highness is awakening his period of awakening has happened as calculated." Oban said the Cyberman looked at his ward.

"Highness are you ok?" Vale asked as he checked on his old friend.

Shinji looked at the ceiling as he had one thing to say. "Unfamiliar Ceiling." Shinji said as Ventus sweat dropped a bit.

"Cryptic much." Ventus said as Shinji got up.

"Did we get Bahamut?" Shinji asked remembering only the part where he summoned Bahamut but the minute Bahamut was summoned he blacked out.

"Yes highness but we are unable to leave until the Angel wars are through so for the time being we are employed and protected by NERV." Vale said as Shinji got up.

"Just like her." Shinji said remembering her.

"Oh yeah I remember her your fiancé right?" Ventus said as Shinji nodded.

"For the time being let's explore and ask around a bit." Vale said as Oban put his hood up, Ventus put his hat on while Vale simply walked as his eyes were pretty hard to hide.

(Meanwhile area of Angel battle)

Misato and Ritsuko were checking on what was left of the Angel after Bahamut defeated it as Ritsuko looked at the remains. But the looks of it there won't be anything left soon because whatever caused the Angel to transform was killing any remaining cells at an accelerated rate. Luckily Ritsuko had found some of the original cells and was able to save them but the rest of the angel was decomposing fast and she only had a limited amount of time to get the data on the strange occurrence.

"Ritsuko I need to talk to you." Misato said as they were in the heat.

"What?" Ritsuko asked as Misato looked.

"I saw how you treated Shinji's friends because they are from Enocia you were being racist against them." Misato said as Ritsuko ignored her and kept working.

"The one called Oban is an android he doesn't seem to feel offended, Vale would commonly be made as another kid born with a genetic trait to give him pointed ears but he displayed unnatural abilities, and Ventus is a chimera of sorts." Ritsuko said as her voice had hidden the traces of venom when talking about him.

"That's just it Ritsuko your being ignorant and racist against them for no good reason." Misato said as she didn't have anything against them.

"They are nothing but living weapons so they must be treated like weapons too." Ritsuko explained before looking at her data pad.

"After all-it is the rules of nature. We are alive and they are not."

"Ritsuko I'm serious don't push it the JSDF may have occupied Enocia but they are still people with rights." Misato said as Ritsuko was silent.

"This conversation is done." The head of project E said before leaving to carry on her work.

That was when Misato's phone rang as the Major answered. "Katsuragi here... he's awake? OK I'll be right there." Misato said before she left the battle sight to pick up Shinji.

(With Shinji)

Shinji was walking for a bit as he was dressed in hospital pajamas as he sat down. He looked at his hand and wondered, why was Bahamut hidden in the EVA, why did the Angel transform like that, was there something going on that he and his guards and childhood friends weren't aware of.

Shinji heard the news playing as he stood up and walked for a bit only to pass by Rei who was now walking thanks to Vale. "Vale-san." Rei said as she stopped to look at him.

"Yes Ms. Ayanami?" Vale greeted as Rei looked.

"The metaphysical skill you used to heal me, thank you now I will be able to return to active duty ahead of schedule." Rei said as Vale nodded.

"Yes Ms. Ayanami and perhaps I may teach you how to use magic." Vale said as he adjusted his glasses.

That was when the News began to play. "Now for breaking news the sightings of the vicious creatures from Enocia outside of Tokyo-3 has been confirmed it has been revealed that some of these creatures were smuggled here while the rest are invasive here JSDF had advised all citizens to remain calm and when leaving the city bring a means of protection." The news lady said as Oban looked.

"Both logical and illogical smuggling these creatures but them escaping a reproducing so fast is illogical and them coming here by accident is impossible calculations point to a cover up showing they were brought here on purpose." Oban said after going through the information.

"For now it's best to stay in the city for the time being at least until we know what we're dealing with out there." Vale said as he looked.

"As long as it's not a Behemoth then I'm good." Ventus said still a bit sore from dead eyes.

"Ayanami-san... I'll see you around." Shinji said as Rei nodded before Shinji left.

It was silent as Rei saw a blue glow on her hand. "I know but not now." Rei said before walking away as the I.V. bag medicine rippled unnaturally before freezing slightly.

(Later)

Shinji was now dressed in his normal cloths as he waited for Misato. Shinji was glad Vale was able to keep his car but being as he isn't a legal Japanese citizen or Shinji's legal guardian he was stuck to waiting for Misato. Shinji's mind wandered to the summonings he now possessed, Odin and most recently Bahamut. Shinji knew most of Bahamut stories, one of the Three Great Divine beasts who rules over the skies as the King of Dragons. Some stories said his fury wrought the end of the world, others say he is a child dreaming of strength, but many agreed that Bahamut was cast out of Enocia with the other two for his strength and power alone.

Shinji looked at his gloved hand as he remembered Rei's blood being on it. It made him angry that his father would treat people like replaceable bonds, it made him sick to think he had his blood in him. That was when Misato arrived seeing Shinji deep in thought as she smiled glad to see Shinji was ok.

"Hey Shinji you ok?" Misato asked as Oban then spoke.

"His Highness shows signs of slight stress as well as anger and slight confusion by calculations show that he doesn't remember the fight well as well as anger at his father for discarding him and using him as a pawn like subject Rei Ayanami." Oban said as Ventus then sighed and patted the Cybermans shoulder.

"Now's not the time." Ventus said as Vale looked.

"Well then Ms. Katsuragi shall we take our leave?" Vale asked as Misato nodded.

"Yeah plus we can actually use your guys expertise in a job for NERV." Misato said as Oban looked.

"Calculations show it's not a desk job." Oban said as Ventus sighs.

"Thank you captain obvious." Ventus said as Oban looked.

"My name is Oban, who is this Captain Obvious?" Oban asked as Ventus sighed.

"Sarcasm Oban, sarcasm." Ventus said as Vale looked.

"What is this job?" Vale asked as Misato smiled.

"I'll explain when we get Shinji-kun's living arrangements." Misato said before the group nodded and followed her out.

(Later)

"Wait they'll be living alone?" Misato asked as the real estate agent nodded.

"Yes in Section A-20 they specifically requested living arrangements that can fit all of them is this acceptable?" The Agent asked as Shinji looked.

"Of course so long as we may be able to protect highness then we can deal with it." Vale said as the agent nodded.

"Misato trusted these Enocians o watch over Shinji but them living alone didn't sit well by her before she remembered where Section A20 was, wait that's my apartment building." Misato said a she looked closely and to her shock as they had one of the more spacious apartments. "Well I guess I worried for nothing." Misato said with a sigh of relief.

(Scene Break outside NERV)

Shinji and his group were walking outside after hearing about the Enocia district in Tokyo-3 which had caught there attention as no doubt it will have the items they need such as potions and such. As they walked Misato appeared as she looked at them. "Guys wait!" Misato called as Shinji and his grouped turned to greet her as she smiled.

"Hello Ms. Katsuragi how may we help you?" Vale asked as Misato smiled.

"I need to show you guys something before we start your house warming party." Misato said as Shinji was confused.

"Insufficient data as to what tis surprise is." Oban said as Misato smiled.

(Scene Break)

The group were grocery shopping in the Enocian district as they were probably not allowed in normal stores so they took what they could get. Misato had never felt so out of place sense the store was filled with Cybermen, Beastmen, and Elfmen as they grabbed the items they needed for the house warming party Misato was throwing and apparently Misato was stocking up on chips, beer, and TV dinners as they paid for the items and then left.

They soon arrived at a star gazing hill overlooking the city as Shinji leaned on the hood of the car with Ventus sitting on the trunk of their car, Vale meanwhile was on the driver's seat ready to drive when the need surfaces as Oban sat in the back seat. "So what is it you want to show us Misato?" Shinji asked as he looked at the small city of Tokyo-3.

"This is the city you protected, I'd like to make you proud for once." Misato explained.

(Start Cutscene)

Buildings began to rise from the ground as Shinji was shocked as Oban gathered data. Meanwhile Ventus was gasping in surprise at the sight. Vale glanced before turning back and smirking a bit in an impressed way.

"This is Tokyo-3 our hometown and the city that is protected by Shinji Ikari." Misato said as the buildings were revealed to all.

(End Cutscene)

"Impressive my calculations show a 98.99% chance that those buildings are for power cables and armaments for the EVA." Oban said as he went over the data he collected.

"Anyway let us head back it's getting late." Vale said as Ventus got into Valve's car and Misato entered her car.

Shinji glanced at the city as he then looked down at his hand. He now had Bahamut but he now got drafted into the local militia and now he can't leave. Shinji hadn't run away in years but now he was stuck facing almost impossible odds, hopefully he can pull through. The young prince then began walking over to the car before getting in and it drove off.

(Later Apartment complex)

The group were now in Shinji's group new apartment as Misato was also there in casual cloths as Vale was cooking traditional Enocian meals.

"Jeez, this looks good!" Misato complemented as Shinji nodded...his vision begins to blur to show the place covered in snow and ice with crows surrounding it.

"Let your mind be at peace...let your body flow like the gentle waves..." A girl's voice said causing Shinji to turn around to see the hooded girl from before but he saw she was wearing a cast on her arm as the bandages looked old.

"Imagine yourself...in a frozen forest. Trees so tall they touch the sky..."

"...Shinji..." A familiar voice called as another followed. "Highness?" Another called as Shinji looked seeing himself back in the apartment as he saw Vale serving the food.

"Hey Shin-man you ok you zoned out." Ventus asked worried for the young prince.

"Yeah... it's nothing." Shinji said as he sat down to eat his food.

"So Shinji how is Enocia anyway I've heard stories but it's good to hear from someone who has actually lived there." Misato said as Shinji ate his food calmly.

"Well if you must know it's a very beautiful place, the Crystal protected it from the effects of Second Impact so it still has the four seasons, plus it's a monarchy and sense my mother was from the ruling family after my father abandoned me I was picked up by my grandparents and lived in Enocia sense then being brought up as a prince." Shinji explained as Misato looked shocked.

"You're not how I pictured a prince you know being a total brat." Misato said as Shinji looked slightly offended.

"Well I was given much freedom but I was brought up as a prince but my grandparents instilled into me responsibility and discipline you know what every parents instills into their kids they... were the parents I needed after everything that had happened." Shinji admitted as Vale was eating. "Plus I wasn't lonely I had a fiancé due to an arrange marriage, but also these knuckle heads as childhood friends." Shinji said with the last part directed torts his friends.

"Hey Shin-man is that anyway to talk to someone who's guarded you sense childhood?" Ventus joked as Vale smirked.

"Perhaps we should leave you alone and see how long you survive." Vale joked as Oban was silent.

"Man you all act like brothers." Misato joked as everyone laughed at that.

The night carried on as everyone was joking and laughing as this was a time for joy for everyone. As they laughed and joked it seemed like they were enjoying themselves. The house warming party carried well into the night before everyone decided to turn in for the night Misato went back to her apartment saying they should hold the next party at her place and found Oban impossible to tease unlike the others.

Everyone turned in for the night as they all changed cloths and went to sleep on the furniture provided by NERV (per Misato's orders) as it was time for bed.

(That Night)

Shinji looked at the ceiling as he was dressed in his pajamas. He stared at the ceiling as he then raised his arm to it as if trying to grasp something. All this craziness started when the JSDF occupied Enocia, he didn't know if his grandparents were alive or dead, he didn't know where Asuka was, and now he was drafted into NERV to pilot the EVA but the only good thing that came out was that he got Bahamut. But the question for him was why was Bahamut inside the EVA, could someone had planted it there with the sole purpose of him finding it. He has so many questions but so little answers. He then turned his hand into a fist as he remembered that girl he saw, the one with the hood, who was she and why was, he the only one who can see her especially sense she looked Enocian.

"So many questions, so little answers." Shinji said before turning to his side to sleep as he was tired.

(Meanwhile with Rei)

Rei was sleeping as no doubt the commander had not seen Shinji sense his arrival at NERV. She slept as luckily her injuries didn't hurt when she moved, she could leave the hospital at any day thanks to Vale's magic in healing her. Normally she never believed in Metaphysics but that was just a front, in truth when she was a child she came across her own summoning named Shiva and Rei had only used that summoning in emergencies such as putting Unit 00 on freeze and dealing with monsters that may appear.

"...Rei..." a voice called as Rei woke up and looked around.

"Who is there?" Rei asked as she got up to look around.

"...Rei..." The voice called again as Rei got off the bed and grabbed her weapon which was a bow staff that doubled as a magic staff. Rei had undergone combat training and was proficient with the staff as she made it vanish much like Shinji and his group are able to summon there weapons.

Rei then exited the hospital room and saw it was oddly quiet in the halls and it was empty. Rei then turned around and saw a girl with pale skin, a white hoodie and robe like clothing standing at the end of the hall as Rei was confused. "Who are you?" Rei asked as the girl looked.

"...Follow me..." She said in a soundless voice but Rei could hear her clearly. The girl then walked to the left hall and vanished. Rei gave chase and saw she was already at the end of the hallway at the stairs. Rei soon began climbing down the stairs as the lights were on here to provide people a means to see. It wasn't long till Rei saw the hooded girl again but noticed the cast on her arm as she walked outside completely unseen as she didn't even open the door.

'Am I losing my sanity?' Rei thought as she knew that shouldn't be possible. Rei sighed before carefully sneaking her way outside avoiding any hospital staff or security. Rei was still dressed in her plug suit so she had to be careful with what she did. Rei began following the girl until they arrived at the forest to the Geofront.

The Hooded girl turned to Rei as you could see her mouth as she smiled before gesturing her to follow. It didn't take long for Rei to arrive at the Geofronts Lake as the girl looked to Rei.

"What is needed is inside this lake." The girl said in her soundless voice as Rei looked.

"Who are you?" Rei asked as the girl smiled.

"I am simply... an Oracle." Oracle said before Rei looked before jumping into the water to find the thing she needed to find.

(Underwater)

Rei swam as she held her breath sense the benefit of having angelic DNA in her was that she was able to handle holding her breath for extended periods of time. As she swam she soon took notice to something glowing at the bottom of the lake followed by a roar. Rei followed the noise and light before she came across a glowing crystal embedded in the metal of the lake. Rei looked at it before she placed her hand on it before her mind was assaulted by images of some sort of Large Sea Serpent as next to it was Bahamut and a third Summoning that she couldn't identify. It was then that the water current began to move on its own before it pushed Rei upward to dry land.

(In the Land)

Rei washed up as she coughed after some water got into her throat as she looked around and saw the girl again.

"Leviathan is now yours." She said before he body vanished from view.

"What is going on?" Rei wondered as she was confused as she didn't know what to make of this and she doubt the commander would understand either even if she did tell him.

(Scene Break three weeks later)

Shinji had been enrolled into school as he simply kept to himself and paid attention in class. So far all the teacher has been teaching was the effects of Second Impact which Shinji swore the teacher was trying to tell the class there was no hope for humanity, Shinji had heard it all before as no doubt the class did as well which was why they were surfing the web or on their phones as he sighed.

Shinji was currently waiting for class to start as the girls were talking about him, no doubt finding him attractive in some way, like the quiet bad boy.

Shinji was dressed in a school uniform in exchange for his normal cloths as he saw the girl with freckles on her face and brown hair pulled into tails was talking to a glasses wearing boy as Shinji tried to ignore it. "Aida-san did you deliver the printouts to Suzuhara-san?" The girl asked as the boy looked.

"Sorry Class-rep I tried but no one was home and his mailbox was filled to the brim with mail." The boy said as the girl glared.

"Aida Kensuke are or are you not Toji's friend." She lectured as Kensuke saw he was in a pinch.

"Sorry but I-" But before he could finish the door opened to reveal a boy with tan skin in a track suit walking in as he walked over to the girl.

"Hey Hikari sorry for missing class I had to stay with my sister in the hospital sense my dad and granddad had to work to do." The boy said as Hikari nodded.

"Oh it's completely understandable Toji-san." Hikari said as Toji nodded before taking a look at the nearly deserted class.

"So where is everyone?" Toji asked as Kensuke then spoke.

"Oh a lot of people moved out because of the Angel Wars I bet you it won't be long before the entire school is devoid of students." Kensuke said before noticing Shinji. "I see you noticed the new transfer yeah he arrived not long after the angel Attack but he doesn't talk to anyone he just as that bad boy calm and collective thing going on for him and its attracting almost all the girls." Kensuke explained as Toji was now glaring at Shinji who noticed it and completely ignored him.

(During Class)

Shinji was surfing the web looking up news on Enocia hoping to find that his grandparents were ok or that the people are standing up to the JSDF but so far nothing new, if he had to guess the JSDF are probably trying to keep as little news as getting out as possible. Shinji sighed as he got off the computer and looked to the class that was going on. That was when he got an alert on his computer and he looked.

'Are you the pilot Y/N' It read as Shinji looked and saw a couple of girl in the back giggling as Shinji had no doubt the entire class was waiting for the reply.

Shinji contemplated whether he should reveal his pilot status to his classmates, from what he gathered they already know Rei was a pilot of an EVA as he contemplated. He knew people were in danger because some idiot brought the monsters from Enocia to Japan no doubt let them loose on purpose. Shinji thought about it before sighing and clicking yes and then sent send.

Once he did the class gasped as they all crowded around Shinji as they all began asking questions all referring to the EVA and piloting. Shinji just kept quiet as he tried to ignore them as he wondered what the hell the teacher was doing that he didn't notice his class was being disruptive. 'Senile idiot.' Shinji thought as he tried his best to ignore the class till he finally got enough. "Ok back off if I'm the pilot then that's good enough I don't need to tell you anything else!" Shinji yelled as that got the class quiet.

"Ok everyone please return to your seats." Hikari said as Shinji went back to surfing the web.

Meanwhile Toji glared at Shinji as if he now had a target.

(Later after class)

Shinji was enjoying his lunch as he was behind the school just simply eating. That was when Shinji noticed a shadow over him as he didn't bother to look at it. "If you want to know about the EVA then back off I already told you I'm the pilot." Shinji said as he finished his food.

That was when the Shadow grabbed Shinji by the collar of his dress shirt and forced him off revealing it was Toji. Toji reared his fist back and sent a punch at Shinji who blocked it before using his free hand to twist Toji's arm that was on his collar and forced him off. Toji roared before charging at Shinji and sending punches at him, but Shinji kept dodging the attacks with ease as Toji roared.

"Hold still!" He yelled as Shinji then stopped moving for Toji to send a fist at Shinji only for the prince to catch the fist and used the arm to flip Toji over and then grabbed that arm and twisted it behind Toji's back. Shinji kept forcing it back as Toji struggled as Kensuke was shocked.

"You wanted me to hold still well are you regretting it?" Shinji asked as he glared.

"Let g-arrgh!" He yelled as Shinji forced the arm to stretch more as you could her bones cracking.

"Not until you're calmed down and tell me what your problem is." Shinji said as Toji glared.

"It's you I had to punch you once it's because of your lousy piloting that my sister got hurt!" Toji yelled as he glared at Shinji. "She'll live but she possibly won't be able to walk again." Toji said as Shinji then let go of Toji letting him get up.

But once Toji was on his feet Shinji punched him square in the face knocking him back down and glaring at him. "Pathetic." Shinji said as Toji glared.

"What did you call me?!" He yelled as Toji tried to get up only for Shinji to punch him.

"You were supposed to watch and protect her yet here you are trying to blame others for your mistake it's pathetic and sad." Shinji said as he then turned around and began to walk around. "Grow up and take responsibility." Shinji said as he walked away.

Toji glared as Shinji as not only did Toji get his ass kicked but Shinji was taunting him. "You know he was kind of right." Kensuke said as Toji glared making Kensuke recoil. "Just saying." Kensuke said as Shinji was soon gone.

(Scene Break later with Shinji)

Shinji sat in the Test Plug for a combat simulation as his "EVA," was equipped with a rifle as it glared down the Angel. "Ok Shinji ready to begin?" Ritsuko asked over the intercom as Shinji nodded. "Ok the Angels are pretty tough they are protected by a barrier called an AT field and are able to evolve as the situation progresses, but there is a way to defeat them, see the red orb in them which we call the Core is there weak point if you destroy that the Angel will cease to evolve and be destroyed not lets practice." Ritsuko explained as Shinji nodded.

The Angel was soon materialized into the simulation before Shinji began shooting it with short bursts after centering the target.

(In the Test Lab)

Vale, Ventus, and Oban looked to Shinji as he fired the rifle at the Angel in the Test Plug which looked like an EVA's skinless head as Ventus thought it was creepy. "Are you sure you should give highness such a simple opponent he already has combat training and you have been making him go over the same simulation for almost three weeks." Vale said as Oban looked.

"Calculations show a 0.0010% chance of his highness being able to get stronger at this point." Oban calculated as Misato sighed.

"I know but it's so we can get him acclimated to the EVA's systems sense he still doesn't know how to summon Bahamut." Misato explained as Ventus looked.

"But come on he won't advance at all as a pilot if he keep doing the same simulation over, and over again." Ventus complained as Ritsuko looked to Misato.

"Misato did you hear about Shinji getting into a fight with one of his classmates?" Ritsuko asked ignoring Ventus as Misato looked.

"Yes but Shinji won that fight from what I read from Section 2's reports." Misato said as Ritsuko sighed.

"Well just remember if anything happens to him in real life it can affect his Synch with the EVA during battle." Ritsuko said as Shinji on screen kept hitting the target.

(Shinji)

"Center the Target, pull the trigger." Shinji repeated with each simulated Angel as he has killed every single one of them. Shinji kept shooting as the simulation continued. It got to the point that Shinji closed his eyes before opening them again and dropping the gun.

(Test Lab)

"Shinji what are you doing?" Misato asked before Shinji did something crazy.

(Simulation)

Shinji pulled out a simulated Prog. Knife before charging at the Angel and ducked under it before stabbing its core destroying it.

(Plug)

"As you can see this training is going nowhere fast how do, you expect me to progress fast enough to the level of the First and Second child if you're only having me perform the same simulation over and over again." Shinji said as the knife vanished.

(Test Lab)

"Well he has advance fast enough maybe we should raise the difficulty a little." Misato said as Ritsuko sighed in frustration.

'Sometimes I hate my job.' Ritsuko thought as she had to begin a training plan to advance Shinji's EVA training.

(Later)

Misato and Ritsuko were sitting next to each other in a chair as they were being transported to another part of NERV as Misato was resting her head on her hand. "So Misato did Shinji even mention he got into a fight?" Ritsuko asked as Misato looked.

"No in fact he never mentioned it once he probably told his friends thought." Misato said as Ritsuko looked.

"Well he easily dispatched his classmate and walked away after giving Toji a lecture but he also called Toji pathetic." Ritsuko said as Misato then looked to Ritsuko. "But the way he said it Section 2 said they were intimidating 5 minutes into the fight." Ritsuko explained as Misato looked.

"Well he was brought up with the grace and elegance of a prince so he had to intimidate his opponents both in and off the battlefield he's like a kind version of the commander." Misato said as she then sighed. "But he seems to keep people away from him he had to learn that if he wants to grow up then he has to learn to let people in." Misato explained as Ritsuko looked.

"Tell me Misato have you heard about Hedgehogs?" Ritsuko asked as Misato look.

"Yeah those are the prickly things right?" Misato asked as Ritsuko nodded.

"Yes see the Hedgehogs dilemma is that they want to huddle together for warmth but the closer they get to one another the more they hurt each other." Ritsuko said as Misato looked.

"Yes but Shinji doesn't seem like that sort of person I mean he must have a good reason to telling this classmate off after beating him." Misato said as Ritsuko looked and looked on before going back to waiting for hers and Misato's stop.

(Scene Break Tokyo-3)

Shinji was walking around the city with his friends as he saw this Fortress city looked like some of the cities in Enocia mixed with old Tokyo as he saw all the anime based merchandise in the stores and such. As Shinji walked he soon noticed some sort of board as he walked over to it and saw that they looked like requests ranging from simple deliveries to handling monsters that had appeared in the outskirts. Shinji looked before he finally had to ask. "What is this?" Shinji asked Vale looked.

"It looks like a Request board." Vale said as an old man noticed.

"Yes it is just that." The old man said as Shinji and co looked. "This was added by some of the people who live here because there were things NERV wouldn't do that we had to do ourselves." The man said as he looked. "Many people post here so they can get help and a lot of the time the requests are answered perhaps you young lads from Enocia can handle a few yourselves or if you're in a bind post some." The old man said as the group were surprised.

"Thank you sir." Vale said as the old man nodded.

"It is no problem I am not ignorant like most when it comes to people from other countries." The old man said before he began walking away.

"Well what do we do now?" Ventus asked as Shinji looked at the board.

Shinji sighed before he took a request and turned to his friends. "We start making friends." Shinji said as they all got the gist of it. The group decided to follow Shinji on his little make friends idea as sense they were staying in this city it would be good to earn some sort of money.

(Scene Break one days later)

Vale, Oban, and Ventus sat in the office of Gendo Ikari with Misato nearby as with Ritsuko as Gendo was trying to intimidate the three, Oban was impossible sense his face was a constant poker face, Vale was almost as tough but he met Gendo's calculative glare with his own as the two were in a glare off. But Ventus on the other hand he was staying out of it because last thing he needed was to be at the center of an international incident. "Do you know why I called you here?" Gendo asked as Oban then spoke.

"Calculations point that it is to do with the monsters from Enocia appearing in Japan." Oban said as Vale looked.

"If you wish to hire us to deal with these creatures then just say so instead of going for the dramatics." Vale said as he adjusted his glasses.

Gendo was silent as he glared at the group before finally speaking. "Will you three perform the task?" Gendo asked as Ventus smirked.

"Sure thing you old goat but we'll have Shinji accompany us because we have to protect him and in all honesty we don't trust you at all." Ventus said as Gendo looked.

"Denied." Gendo said as Vale smirked.

"Well when those monsters start attacking people and trust me they will the first person to be blamed with be NERV they will question what the command staff was doing that wasn't ensuring the safety of people leaving and entering the city and a lot of eyes will be focused on you I wouldn't be surprised if the UN start investigating." Vale threatened in a calm and collective way that held a taunt in it making it so Gendo has no other choice but to agree to their terms.

Gendo was a rock in a hard place at the moment as these Enocians have gotten him in check and if he's not careful it could result in checkmate. "Tell me does the Third Child have combat training?" Gendo asked as Vale smirked.

"Of course he has been trained in many arts such as combat, magic, and even philosophy." Vale said as Gendo then spoke again.

"Very well I shall agree to you terms under the condition that he comes back in one piece." Gendo said with his cold glare as Misato was shocked that the trio was able to get Gendo to agree to their terms.

"Deal." Vale said as he then stood up with his cohorts and left to locate Shinji.

Misato quickly followed and was followed by Ritsuko leaving only Gendo and Fuyutsuki there as Gendo then growled. "This does not abide by the scenario." Gendo growled as Fuyutsuki held back a smirk.

(Scene Break)

After Shinji had gained enough money he and his friends used their earnings to purchase groceries and furniture for their apartment which was now looking livelier. Though that wasn't the focus now what was the focus was that the Angel alarms were blaring signaling all as once everyone was in the shelters the building lowered as the city changed into combat mode.

The EVA was being deployed to battle the Angel as in EVA cages Evangelion unit 1 was being sortied for battle.

(Unit 1 Entry Plug)

Shinji sat in the plug as he was ready to launch. No doubt Unit 00 was still on combat freeze so this meant he was on his own. He then smiled a bit as he forgot he wasn't alone Bahamut protected him last time if he can learn to summon the King of all Dragons then maybe he can end the Angel Wars in a heartbeat.

Shinji closed his eyes as he prepared for the launch as the EVA was being moved to the catapult. As Shinji waited he soon felt the EVA jerk to a stop as he opened his eyes.

(Central Dogma)

"All systems are green." A bridge bunny said as Misato nodded.

"Alright EVA Launch!" Misato called out as the EVA was launched.

(Cages)

The EVA was propelled upward as it was launched to the surface as the G-Force would have flattened a person if it wasn't for the LCL.

(Meanwhile in the Shelters)

Kensuke and Toji were with their class in the shelters as they waited for the emergency to pass. As they waited Kensuke checked out the news and saw it was being blocked and censored. "Damn government blocking everything when everyone in the city knows what's going on." Kensuke cursed as Toji sighed.

"Well that's governments for you the lie and keep secrets." Toji said as Kensuke had an idea.

"Hey Toji I need to go." Kensuke said as Toji looked.

"What?" Toji asked as Kensuke spoke again.

"I need to use the bathroom."

"You should have gone before coming into the shelter." Toji said as Kensuke looked like he had to go bad. "Fine." Toji said before he and Kensuke got up catching Hikari's attention.

"And where are you two going?" The Class Rep asked as Toji looked.

"Um yeah we have to go to the restroom don't worry we won't be gone long." Toji said as Hikari sighed in defeat.

"Fine just don't be gone long." Hikari said before the two left.

(Later in the Bathroom)

Kensuke and Toji were doing their business as Kensuke was the first to speak. "Hey Toji we need to see the fight." Kensuke said as Toji was shocked.

"Are you nuts?! We'll get in trouble if we don't get killed." Toji said as he tried to keep his voice down.

"Come on you are obliged to watch him, you tried to punch him what if this causes him to think humanity isn't worth saving, and you might have be viewed throughout history as the catalyst who ended humanity." Kensuke said trying to get Toji to change his mind before he sighed.

"Fine I'll think of something." Toji said as they finished their business.

(Scene Break Surface)

As Unit 1 arrived at the surface you could see Toji and Kensuke had left the shelter as Kensuke had a camera to watch the battle as Kensuke smiled. "The EVA." Kensuke said as he watched this.

(With Shinji)

Shinji closed his eyes as he breathed in and out and once he opened his eyes again he had a glare in them. "I won't run away." Shinji said as he was ready.

(Battlefield)

The EVA was released from its locks as it then began to head over to the Gatlin like rifle that was released from one of the weapon depo buildings as Unit 1 head behind a building. Of course the EVA still had the weapons it could summon but right now Misato wanted to be precise so Shinji waited.

The Angel though it looked like a centipede with bones as the legs below the flap on for its head that hid the S2 core, though to many people it looked kind of like a man's reproductive limb. Unit 1 then left the hiding spot and began firing at the Angel though it wasn't firing in short bursts but instead a long burst.

(Central Dogma)

"Shinji stop you're giving the Angel cover!" Misato called as Shinji kept firing.

(Battlefield)

The Angel released a tentacle as it wrapped around the EVA's ankle as it then began swinging the EVA around and cut the gun in two.

(Toji and Kensuke)

"How was he able to save us he's getting his ass kicked?" Toji said as he saw that Shinji was getting his ass kicked.

"This looks bad." Kensuke said as he saw this and recorded it.

(With the EVA)

The EVA was soon hurled torts the mountain as it came for a landing it was shown that its power cable was cut and its hand nearly crushed the two civilians but it luckily missed and the civilians were now between the EVA's index and middle finger.

(The Plug)

"Ow." Shinji said as he held his head.

(Central Dogma)

"The power cable has been cut! The EVA has switched to back up power!" Makoto called as Misato cursed

"We have civilians outside the Shelter!" Maya called as Misato looked.

"Wait those kids are Shinji's classmates." Misato called as she growled. "Shinji open the plug and let them in, then retreat so we can try again later." Misato ordered as Ritsuko was shocked.

"You can't more pilots in the same plug could disrupt the Synch!" Ritsuko called as Misato looked.

"We don't have a choice the EVA only has five minutes of operation power." Misato called but Ritsuko had an argument.

"You don't have the authority!" Ritsuko argued as Misato glared.

"Do it Shinji!" Misato ordered as she waited for Shinji to choose.

(With Shinji)

Shinji nodded before he pressed a button for the EVA to open up the plug.

(Outside)

The Plug opened catching Toji and Kensuke off guard as they soon heard a female voice on the speaker. "GET IN!" It called as the two wasted no time in getting into the EVA.

(Inside the Plug)

It was dark as Toji and Kensuke got it. "Gauh what is this water?!" Toji asked as he felt the liquid around him.

"My camera!" Kensuke called as he was worried for his camera.

That was when the lights came on as they saw Shinji sitting in the throne like seat of the entry Plug as they looked at Shinji.

(Central Dogma)

"Alright Shinji now retreat!" Misato ordered as Ritsuko was surprised her authority was disregarded like that.

(With Shinji)

Shinji looked at the Angel and saw the battery life was close to running out as he glared at the Angel. "Sorry not enough time to retreat." Shinji said before he pressed another button.

(Battlefield)

The EVA grabbed its knife which came out of one of its pylons as it charged at the Angel. The Angel acted by skewering the EVA through the stomach which said pain was carried over to the pilot.

(Shinji)

"RRRAUH!" Shinji roared it both pain and fury as he shrugged it off.

(Battlefield)

The EVA ran at the angel as the EVA slid down the hill on its feet ready to kill the Angel. The EVA stabbed the Angels S2 core with the prog. Knife as sparks came out of the core. It wasn't long after struggling that the core blew up in a blood like substance that the Angel was dead as its body fell limp like a rag doll.

(Plug)

Shinji sighed in relief as he felt the pain in his stomach dull. Shinji saw the battery life was now gone as he was grateful the EVA lasted as long as it did. That was when something happened with the Angels corpse.

(Battlefield)

A black shadow like ball floated around the Angel as it then entered its body before the Angel began to convulse violently. Its lower body began to grow legs as its tail seemed to flatten out, the head split open as it transformed into arms with the whips rearranging to where the hands would be, next the bone like lefts began to move into ribs as the spot where the S2 core used to be began to produce a head as the Angel roared in fury ready to kill.

(Plug)

Shinji was shocked as he didn't expect to see the Angel come back up for a round 2 as Shinji cursed. His EVA was out of power. "Shit… is this how it ends?" Shinji asked as the Angel sent its whip at the EVA's neck before it began to strangle it. 'Am I going to die here?' Shinji thought before out of nowhere Toji punched Shinji in the face catching him off guard.

"What are you a baka?! We're not going to die here!" Toji yelled as Shinji looked. "You have to have a plan to beat this Angel you summoned that dragon thing in the last battle right well summon it again and have it kick the Angels ass!" Toji yelled as Shinji was wide eyed nearly forgetting about Bahamut.

"Ok… I'll try." Shinji said before he closed his eyes and brought his hands together to form a hand sign similar to a prayer. 'Bahamut if you can hear me, please I beseech you, no I beg you answer my summons aid me in this fight.' Shinji prayed as he hoped Bahamut would answer.

(Central Dogma)

"Get the JSDF out here we need help!" Misato ordered as Vale stopped her.

"Belay that Shinji has this give him 5 minutes." Vale said as Misato looked shocked.

"Are you nuts!?" She demanded as Ventus then spoke.

"Don't worry Shin-man will think of something just have faith in him." Ventus said as Misato sighed.

"Give him 5 minutes." Misato said as she prayed Shinji can pull himself out of this.

(Plug)

Shinji opened his eyes as they were now glowing as he was ready to summon as the spell no chant was inserted into his mind. "Oh you who rules over the sky's as its guardian and King, I beseech thee to aid me in this battle where your fury will claim victory, I summon thee oh King of the skies and lord of all dragons BAHAMUT!" Shinji invokes as he sent a mass of magic to the sky where the clouds began to gather.

(The Sky)

From the clouds a form was coming forth as the clouds seem to cover its body. But soon once the clouds parted Bahamut came forth and roared in triumph before spreading his wings and landed on the angel pushing it back. Bahamut then got off the Angel before picking it up and throwing it away from the EVA.

Bahamut roared in challenge to the foe as it was ready to defeat this enemy to protect its summoner. The Angel then sent its whips at the Dragon before said beast lifted up its arms and allowed the whips to wrap around said arms. The beast then roared before forcing the Angel torts it and then knocked the Angel down. Bahamut now free of the whips got behind the Angel and grabbed its arms before proceeding to break them with a very audible crack. But Bahamut wasn't done there it kept pulling even though the arms were limp and ripped off the arms causing the Angels blood to spray onto the streets of Tokyo-3.

(Plug)

Shinji was huffing and puffing as summoning Bahamut had taken a lot of mana out of him as Toji and Kensuke was shocked at how strong Bahamut was.

"Sugoi." Kensuke said as he was recording it.

"My god." Toji said as he was shocked to see such strength.

(Battlefield)

The Angel tried to run away but Bahamut wouldn't have it as it grabbed the Angel by its newfound neck and grabbed its head before proceeding to rip off the head and with the head came the Angels spine as Bahamut wasn't done yet. It threw the angel to the outskirts of Tokyo-3 before flying upward and then charging energy in its mouth before firing at the Angels barely living body and killing it while leaving its grave as a crater where nothing had survived.

Bahamut roared before he vanished as his fury had been quelled for now.

(Central Dogma)

Misato sighed in relief as she was originally going to lecture Shinji but right now she was glad he was ok. But something bugged her, that shadow ball was it what made the last Angel mutate like the last one. So many answers was plaguing her but for now she was glad that humanity was ok. Though right now Misato felt guilty because she was basically using Shinji to get her revenge against the Angel.

Misato then began to walk away as she had to go meet with Shinji and talk to him.

(Later)

After a debriefing Shinji was allowed to shower off the LCL as he hated that smell of LCL. Right now Shinji was sitting in the NERV Locker room with a drink in his hand as he luckily had an Elixir with his stuff which he used to return some of his mana. As he sat it wasn't long before Misato came walking down from the hall as she had a glare. She stopped before Shinji as the young prince simply took a sip of his drink.

"What is it Misato?" Shinji asked as he stopped drinking.

"Shinji why didn't you follow my orders." Misato said as she glared at Shinji was disappointment.

"Because I couldn't let that Angel continue to put lives in danger." Shinji said as Misato glared.

"While that is admirable you didn't follow a direct order from a commanding officer if I said jump you don't disobey and all you ask is "How high," this is war Shinji we don't have room for recklessness." Misato said as Shinji's hair was shadowed by his eyes.

Misato sighed as she had gotten that off her chest now she could apologize and tell him she's glad he's ok. But before she could Shinji stood up and grabbed his jacket before storming off leaving behind his drink as Misato looked. "Shinji wait!" Misato called but it was too late Shinji was gone.

"Shinji…" Misato said as he was already long gone.

(A week later)

Misato was walking over to the Enocians apartment as she was hoping they were home. Shinji had been a no show to school and she was starting to get worried. Misato saw the door before she knocked on it and waited for someone to answer. It wasn't long before Vale opened it as he looked at Misato. "Hey Vale is Shinji in?" Misato asked as she was hoping Shinji was home but the confused looked Vale gained gave her a bad feeling.

"He wasn't with you?" Vale asked as Misato was shocked.

"What?" Misato asked as she was surprised.

"Highness said he was going to spend a couple of days at your place." Vale said as Misato was surprised.

"Take me to his room." Misato said taking charge.

"Of course." Vale said as they headed to his room and found that the only things there was a well-made bed, some of Shinji's cloths, and finally a note. Misato went to the note and began to read it but when she did she was shocked to learn something.

"Shinji… he ran away." Misato said as she didn't think Shinji would do something like this.

"We must find him." Vale said as he went to get Oban before turning to Misato. "Do not worry Ms. Misato we'll find him." Vale said as Misato nodded. But inside Misato was shocked without Shinji the city would be defenseless, right now she hoped Shinji could be found.

'Shinji, be ok.' Misato thought as she hoped nothing bad had happened.
