(Start)

At the shop, as the sky is clear, its seem love was in the air as Kensuke was dancing around like a wonderful thing happen to him, with packages and boxes in his hand he walk into the shop and unpack everything.

Different flags from around the world were hanged, an old fashion record player was playing a love song to dance to and Kensuke had headphone in saying 'I love you' in 20 different languages, that until 'smack!' 'Music skid!' Mana was behind Kensuke as he took off the headphones and say, "What was that for?"

"Baka! Why are you setting up thing in the shop without permission?" Mana spoken in a mad tone and Kensuke just dance as he said, "I can't help it the sound of love sound better on an old record player… and my mom would let me set things up at the house."

Mana didn't know what to say to that as she rub the bridge of her nose and said, "Well then if you want to hear music off the record player… buy it! Other than that, where the heck do you get all this?!"

"Ah this girl I meet, saying learning different languages can make my education better than ever." As Kensuke said as Mana said, "So you made this girl buy all this." Mana ready her slap hand once more and Kensuke got in her faces a bit and said, "No never, I bought all these from here, I may lose all of my allowance some of my saving account money, but it's all worth it and a bonus she throw in these flags"

Mana sighed and said, "Baka." "my-my, I'm not the only happy guy around is there?" as Tenchi walk in with a small box in his hands and Kensuke came up to him and said, "You found a girl you love too man?"

"Ah yes, I meet a girl, and she was a beauty, we meet when I was delivering some Antique to an old lady, she help me drop off the rest of my delivery's and she ask me out on a date." As Tenchi said and Kensuke said, "A Date oh man, I wish I was that close to the girl I know."

"Oh it's not really a date… not yet anyways..." as Tenchi said with a grin on his face and Kensuke said, "A dates a dates." Tenchi pull in Kensuke away from Mana for a bit and said, "I was thinking of given her this new ring as a present." Mana hear the word Ring as she walk over and got a look at it.

"Are you sure?" Kensuke asked and then Mana said, "That a magic stone, you bakas! Give it here!" Mana try to get it but Tenchi was being stubborn of given it as they started to fight over it.

Misato walk in and saw the fight and then she got in-between and said, "Break it up, break it up! What are you two fighting?" Misato split them apart and Tenchi said, "I was just talking to Kensuke about given this girl I meet a present." "He was about to give a magic stone to that girl he just meet." Mana said and then Misato said, "Now hold on, why not let Shinji take care of this… where is he, by the way?"

"Oh he's training Rei how to use her new wizard power." As Tenchi said and Kensuke said, "Man I'm so jealous, why did she became a wizard while I just lose mine chance to be one?" "You're a Baka that why, now hand me that magic stone." Mana said. As she began to reach for the ring again

As things started up again Misato sighed and said, "Where Shinji when you need him?"

(With Shinji)

Shinji was currently at the Doughnut van with Rei as off to the side Shinji's machine Winger was parked and right next to it was Rei's knew bike the Machine Angel. Shinji knew that Rei was going to need a ride so he had her buy a motorcycle, get a license, and Shinji handled with modifying it and the Angel Winger was born. Of course Shinji had to teach her how to ride a motorcycle first before he bought her one so it was pretty simple especially when they charged it to NERV's accounts. Shinji was able to get Rei her own set of Spell rings which included the Engage Ring, Access Ring, a Ring called the Falco Rise Rings, and currently Tenchi was working on new style Rings for Rei at the moment.

Of course Rei was able to get her own Plamonster as it was called Ookami since it was more like a wolf so it fit. Rei had also been able to adjust to using her magic but unlike Shinji she didn't have his obsession with Plain Sugar Doughnuts. Shinji and Rei were about to order more Doughnuts when they noticed that the employee was acting strange as he seemed to be working out. "Hey what's up with him?" Shinji asked as the employee was around his age. He heard what Shinji asked and answered.

"Shinji I'm in love with this girl she gave me this workout gear and these focus bracelets saying a good body will help me gain a scholarship and allow me to find my true love," he said as Shinji had to admit finding your dream girl did sound exiting.

"Though did she buy all of this for you?" Rei asked as the man grinned. Rei was currently dressed in a pair of denim pants, a white tank top, and over it a black leather jacket that seemed more fit for woman then its male counterpart.

"No actually I bought it with my own money and though it may have depleted my savings by a margin it will be worth it in the end," Yol said as Rei could tell something was wrong with this picture.

"Hmm I wonder what it's like to have a chance encounter with a girl like that." Shinji asked as he pictured the scenario a little though even he knew it wasn't going to go out like that.

"Ikari-Kun perhaps we should go after all you never know when a Phantom might pop up," Rei said as Shinji nodded. "Ok let's go," Shinji said as they went to their bikes and drove off.

(Meanwhile at a warehouse)

Medusa and Phoenix were meeting with a Phantom after Medusa had located a Gate. Medusa of course was still angry about her defeat to the new Ring Wizard as Phoenix hadn't let her hear the end of it. "So Medusa what are we doing here if you have a plan then be sure to remember your battle with the new Ring Sorceress while executing this plan," Phoenix taunted before he laughed as it had already been two weeks and she still hasn't heard the end of it.

"Keep brining that up Phoenix and you'll soon regret it," Medusa said as Phoenix feigned fear.

"Oh I'm so scared of the Phantom who lost to a new born Wizard when she barely got use to her powers," Phoenix taunted as they soon arrived at their destination to see a man enjoying some Wine and its scent.

"Amidst the sweetness of the pure fruit the spices assert themselves, this fragrance has perfect balance." As the man said before he notices the two phantom there as he put down the wineglass with the other 4 he had on the table and said, "Oh, a rare sight." As the man stand up and walk over to the two phantom phoenix walk across medusa and said, "You know why we're here, right?"

"You found a gate?" as the man said to Phoenix as medusa smile as she said," I'm glad you're observant. We can count on you, right?" the man smile as he walk over to an open area of the place and said, "I'll have it finished before I open my shop." Soon the man turn into a mole like phantom with a drill on its head.

(Scene Break)

At a fancy out door dinner place, a boy who looks like someone from a rick family was waiting on someone as he looked at his watch. He nodded thinking he was on time and went to the side and picked up a small bag that held a gift of some sort.

"Tousen-san?" as a girl voice called, the boy lift his head up and was surprise to the girl he saw as she is in a pretty white dress and as the wind catches her hair, she was beautiful to the boy harps were playing for her.

"Sorry to keep you waiting." The girl said and soon they were sitting down drinking some tea. After a few sips of his tea, the bot got up to grab some flower he had on the side as he said, "Please accepted these."

The girl took the flowers and said, "Roses, very sweet of you." The boy was seem so panicking a bit that he almost forgot to give her the gift right away as he said, "Also, I thought these would look good on you, Mel-san."

The girl took the bag and took out of what in it and inside was a jewelry box, she open it to see a pair of earrings and a necklets with all of them having a pink gem in them. "These are wonderful Tousen-san; I would cherish these for a long time."

Tousen just smile and blush a bit to know the girl likes his gift… but the moment was ruin as someone was grab by the neck and thrown across the outdoor dinner. People looked to the person who was thrown and looked at what did it and saw the mole phantom as they started to scream and ran away as ghouls showed up as well.

Mel, and Tousen looked at the phantom as it came to them. Tousen fell from his chair and said, "A monster!" the phantom hit the few people that came by him or try to get out of the way to reach for the couple.

Mel got up and reach for Tousen as she grab him by his jacket, she pulled him up and pretty much ran for it as she said, "Tousen, hurry please!" "Mel-san?" as Tousen said as he keep running.

They ran for an exit before it was block by ghouls and ran to a different area, but it seems no matter where they go, they were trap and no place to go, and was corner at a water fountain.

"I wonder if the fear of death will be enough to drive you into despair," the Phantom said as Mel was scared but chose not to show it.

That was when the Phantom was hit by silver bullets out of nowhere as it turned around and was met with Shinji and Rei. "Well what do you know the Ring Wizard and his little side kick," the Phantom said as Shinji had the Wizard driver activated.

"Phantom we'll stop you here," Shinji said as Rei also had her Driver activated.

"I am ready when you are Ikari-kun," Rei said as they both flipped the Hand Author causing the chant to start.

"SHABADOOBIE TOUCH TO HENSHIN! SHABADOOBIE TOUCH TO HENSHIN!" the belts invoked as Shinji flipped the visor over his Flame style Ring and Rei put on her main ring.

"Henshin!" they invoked causing another chant to start.

"FLAME! PLEASE!" Shinji's Wizard Driver invoked as he reached out with his hand. "HI! HI! HI, HI, HI!" the belt invoked before Shinji was changed into his Rider form.

"CHANGE NOW!" Rei's Rider belt invoked as the circle appeared above her and came down before transforming her to Kamen Rider Mage-Angel.

"Showtime," Shinji said as he and Rei took a stance showing there rings.

The phantom charged at the two wizard with a trident like weapon in his hands, as Shinji change his WizarSwordGun to sword mode and Rei turn her Cross-Gun to Cross-Sword and began to fight against the phantoms. Shinji took the phantom head on while Rei try to flank him.

As the phantom block Shinji's attack Rei slash his side and try to slash at her. She dogged and Shinji push the phantom to the fountain, as the couple watch the two wizards fight, ghouls started to come up at them as one was about to strike, Rei came in and slash at them.

"Go hide!" as Rei said to the couple as they nodded they ran from the area, and Rei began to fight against the ghouls to get her some combat experience.

Shinji was having a little trouble with the phantom to fighting against but the phantom has more trick up its sleeves as he got knock down, he shot energy infuse dirt balls at Shinji that made him took some damage.

Shinji wanted to finish this fight up fast so he pulled out his Hurricane ring and flip the author. "HURRICANE PLEASE!" the magic circle hover above Shinji jumps into the air as the green energy carries him he passes through it. "FU! FU! FU, FU! FU, FU!" Shinji armor became Emerald green.

Shinji use the magic circle as thrust as he fly's around in the air as he change his WizarSwordGun to Gun mode and began to fire off at the phantom. Splashes appeared around the phantom as well as sparks the phantom knew he couldn't last long against Shinji so he went for a retreat.

Shinji landed to pursue him on foot, but when he got around the fountain the phantom was nowhere to be seen, until Shinji spotted a huge dung hole in the ground. "So he can dig underground?" Shinji said as he pulled out one of his familiar rings as he flip the author to the spell side Shinji scan it as it invoked the ring.

"UNICORN! PLEASE!" the plate appeared and parts came out before it formed the blue Unicorn Shinji took off the ring and place it on the unicorn to come to life. Shinji held out his hand as the unicorn landed on it Shinji said to it, "Please follow him."

The unicorn nodded as it jumped off and Getty' up down the hole.

As the few remaining ghouls still left, Rei ran across them as she slash at their chest, each of them fell and exploded into dust and blow in the wind. Rei turn as Shinji walk up to her and said, "The phantom got away."

Rei nodded to what happen as she and Shinji undid there armor and return there their normal selves. The couple came out of hiding and approach Shinji and Rei as Tousen walk up and said, "Thank you very much for saving us, what can I do to repay you two?"

Shinji looked at the boy and said, "We're not out of the woods yet, do ether of you have a place nearby?" Tousen nodded and said, "My home is just a few blocks away."

As Shinji nodded, he and Rei gave the couples a Ride as Mel road with Shinji, Tousen road with Rei and he had on tight as he was afraid to fall off the bike.

(At the house)

"Well I like to say thank you again for saving us from that creature." As Tousen said and Shinji nodded and said to him, "It no problem and this is a very nice house. I thought places like these were torn down after the 2nd impacted."

"Well my family help makes pay to rebuild some of Tokyo buildings as the government saved his home for us, unfortunate my family is overseas most of the time now so it's just me." As Tousen explain his living situation

After a bit while tea was being served to Shinji and Rei, Shinji started to explain what is going on and Tousen said, "So ether me or Mel-san is a this gate? And this phantom is after us so he can make more of his kind?" "That right." Shinji said as he reach over to the sugar cubes and put a few in his cup.

"So you and her are Wizards who fights these phantoms?" Mel asked as Shinji nodded and said, "That also right, so me and my partner would be protecting you two." Shinji and Rei desisted to have a partnership as Shinji still didn't like the thought of his being a better person because of his father so Rei agreed as she help Shinji and Shinji teaches her how to use her spells at the right time and the basic of fighting.

"Pardon me." As a maid said as she walk in with a guest and the guest was Misato as she was checking out the place. "Shinji-san, and Rei-san has a guest."

Misato walked and said, "Man this place is huge, hello I'm Misato. An agent of NERV." "Thanks for coming Misato." As Shinji said to her and Mel said, "An Agent of NERV?" she said it with worry.

"Where do you meet these people Shinji?" as Misato asked and Shinji said, "Not always important Misato-" as Shinji was cut off as Mel said, "Ah, I think I should go," "Ah?" everyone said other than Rei who still trying to understand normal human behavior. "I have a part time job I can't miss."

"Well it might be an important part time, but still…" As Shinji said but Tousen said it as he said, "Its dangerous Mel-san." "But-" AS Mel said and Tousen said something before her as he pull in Shinji as he was closer and said, "Then… Shinji-kun, please stay with Mel-san. Protect Mel-san than me. I know you very strong, for you when you handle against that monster, it would make me feel at ease. Right, Mel-san?"

It was silent for a moment until Mel said, "Right." And then she touches Shinji hand and then a cupid arrow hit Shinji metaphorically speaking.

(Later)

Shinji and Mel were walking down the street as Shinji was on guard duty yet again. As they walked Mel began to start a conversation. "So Shinji-san can you tell me a little about you magic?" Mel asked as Shinji nodded.

"Sure," Shinji said as Mel wanted to know a little about his magic.

"So you magic can let you do anything right?" Mel asked as Shinji shrugged.

"Depends on what you mean by anything," Shinji said as they kept walking.

"Can you like I don't know make Jewels and money out of nothing," Mel asked as it was an example.

"Well no magic can't be used for that and even if it could I wouldn't be doing it anytime soon," Shinji said as Mel got a bit closer to Shinji by grabbing his arm making him blush.

Shinji chose to act like its normal as soon Mel grip on her scarf loosened before it fell off into the wind as she noticed. "My scarf," Mel said as Shinji saw and being the gentleman he is decided to grab it.

"I got it," he said as he chased after it and was able to grab it. But when Shinji picked it up and turned to Mel he saw she was gone. "Mel?" he asked as a wind blew showing Shinji might have gotten ditched.

(Scene break)

Kensuke was skipping around as he walked as he had the headphones on saying "I love you in 20 different languages as he seemed to be very happy. That was when Kensuke noticed Mel and recognized her. "Mel-chan!" he called as he went after her catching her attention.

"Kensuke-san," she said not expecting to see him here. "Mel-chan, Ravi de te voir!" Kensuke started to speak in French. Mel didn't understand him as she asked, "What?" Kensuke saw she didn't understand him as he say, "Oh, I'm sorry. I just saying, 'It's Nice to see you', on I wish I knew the word to wonderful so I can say, 'it's wonderful to see you.' Mel-chan."

Mel sweat-drop as she thought, 'I though those books would be worthless.' "It's good to see you learning a new language." As Mel said to compartment him. As Mel peek over Kensuke she saw Shinji running around looking for her to give back her scarf, and then she quickly gave Kensuke a hug to hid herself, for Kensuke his heart just raise and thought, 'She likes me!'

Shinji looked around as he mumbles to himself, "I can't believe she ran off by herself." And ran on pass. Mel back off as Kensuke was still in a love trance, a voice yelled out, "Hello Mel-San!"

Mel turn and to her disbelief Tenchi showed up with a ring box in his hand and skipped over. "Hu? Oh, hey Tenchi." "Ah, Kensuke." As Tenchi said as he looked at Mel and Kensuke and asked, "Do you two know each other?"

"MEL-SAN!" as a loud voice called out to Mel and it was the worker boy who works at the doughnut van who was running over with the bracelets still on him.

"What a coincidence it is to meet here!" as the worker came into the group and Kensuke said, "You also know her? Yol-san?"

"Mel-San!" now this time Shinji voice was calling out to Mel as he ran to her as she was surrounded by the three other guys. "Shinji knows her too?"

"Actually I just met her and came to return her scarf," Shinji said as he noticed all three guys talking to Mel.

"Wait but she promised me a date," Kensuke said as Tenchi was shocked.

"That can't be right she had promised me a date," he said as Yol was also at a lost.

"But she promised me a date and more items to buy," Yol said as it soon dawned to them. They were being played liked pianos as they looked at Mel with a look of betrayal as Mel knew she had been caught red handed.

Mel then took the scarf and ran off as even Shinji was shocked but he should have seen it coming sense she asked if his magic can make jewels and money.

(Later at the shop)

Tenchi, Yol, and Kensuke were in the shop crying their eyes out as Mana was watching while eating popcorn thinking this was a show worth watching. Shinji was also there as he had sent the Plamonsters to look for the missing gate. Shinji had made sure to call Misato and Rei and told them that Mel was a swindler and had them tell Tousen as he had a right to know his girlfriend was only using him for his money. But of course they said they couldn't and they would decide who would do it when they got back.

"So how long do you think it will be before they will lose it?" Shinji asked as he could hear the trio holding the stuff that Mel made them buy as Mana ate her popcorn.

"Not long," Mana said as she began to countdown. "5... 4... 3... 2... 1 and..." she said before the three boys got a crazed look in their faces before Kensuke began tearing down the flags he had set up, Yol ripped apart the bead bracelets as Tenchi was grabbed a hammer and took out the ring he made as Shinji and Mana freaked out and stopped him.

"Wait Tenchi!" he called as Mana grabbed the ring and Shinji grabbed the hammer before he could swing it.

"What are you thinking? That a magic ring." Shinji said as he toss the hammer onto the couch and then Mana hand him the ring as she asked," What do you think it is?"

Shinji looked at the ring it and it has a dragon surrounded by…smoke? "Smoke maybe? Let's try it." Mana stand by just in case something happens as Shinji put on the ring he scan it as it called out, "SMELL! PLEASE!"

After a bit a yellow cloud appeared around Shinji and soon enough, the sound of crying stop and everyone looked to Shinji. Shinji was getting teary eye for some reason as he look to Mana she said, "That reeks!"

As Shinji took a whiff of the air, Shinji almost felt like puking as he cover his nose with his shirt he said, "Its smells."

"I made a magic Ring that stinks?" Tenchi said and Mana hit him on the back of his head and said, "Baka, you screw up on the ring."

"Wait- wait, I knew it was be smell but I thought it would be perfumes." As Tenchi said and he just got hit on the head again. "BAKA!"

(Sky scrapers roof tops)

Medusa and Phoenix were waiting on the railing on the side as the mole phantom was standing up top of the raffles, Phoenix asked, "What is going on?" Medusa looked to the mole and said, "Mole has a good sense of smell, as well he so good, he never forgets the smell of the gate."

As a gust of wind came by, the mole phantom took a whiff in the air as it open it eyes, it jumps off and change back to its human standers to blend in with the crowed as he walks among them.

(Shinji)

Shinji was back at Tousen house to break the bad news to him as he drew the short straw and as he did Tousen said, "[Sigh] I knew it." "Wait you know?" Shinji was baffled about that and thought the rich boy would be depress or something as he asked, "You figure it out already?"

The rich boy turn to a small supplies of healthy foods and said, "To a degree, when I bought these supplies." Turn away and said, "It's seemed unbelievable that such a beautiful girl would approach a guy like me. Some spoil rich kid as everyone calls me… but to tell you the truth, I'm just lonely."

Shinji feel sympathy to the boy as he said his family is always away overseas, no other siblings and the maid that clean up the place doesn't give him the time to talk. "I know the feeling." Tousen gave a mutual nodded to know there are people that knows how he feels as then he went back to Mel.

"I'm sure she has a good reason." As Tousen said Shinji looked to the guy as he said, "ah?" Tousen started out, "When we were attack, she help me up." Tousen remember what happen to the phantom show up to Mel helping him to his feet to run away.

"She could have left me there and saved herself, but I think Mel thought about me… so I believe in her that she has a reason she needs all this money." As Tousen said with a smile and Shinji looked to the guy and thought, 'He thinking positive about her.'

Soon Shinji phone rang as he got it and said, "Hello?" "Hey Shinji, I've gotten the girls address and you'll never believe what I found." Misato was calling and said to Shinji as he listen to Misato said to him and then he said, "Right, got it. Thanks a lot Misato."

"I have to go hopefully I can figure out why Mel wants the money," Shinji said as Tousen nodded just before Shinji left to the address Misato gave him.

(Later)

Shinji arrived at his destination and was not expecting what he found. What he was met with was an inn that apparently had a hot springs as Shinji was actually expecting some old rundown apartment building near a construction site not this.

"Ok time to do some investigating," Shinji said as he entered the Inn as he saw a sign showing it was going through some very hard times. "Ok if her family owns this place then that could be the reason why she needs the money," Shinji said as he continued on in to look for some more clues or even the source.

But when Shinji entered he saw the front desk and someone sitting there almost ready to fall asleep as the door opening caught the woman's attention as she looked like an older Mel. "Oh welcome I wasn't expecting a guest," she said as Shinji had to break it them.

"Actually I'm not a guest I was actually looking for Mel-san is she in at the moment?" Shinji asked as the Woman thought about it.

"I think I saw her run to her room," she said as Shinji nodded.

"Thanks, can you take me there?" he asked as he needed to talk to Mel.

The woman agreed to take Shinji to Mel's room and as she did she reach the door, knock on it as Mel voice called out, "Yes?"

"Mel, you have a guest." the woman said and Mel open the door a bit and asked, "Who is it kaa-san?" the woman moved out of the way as Shinji pop into Mel's view he said, "Hey Mel-san."

A little later Shinji was sitting in Mel's room as the mother brought in some tea and said, "You want anything to snack on?" "I'm good, ma'am." Shinji said and the mother gave a smile as she said, "Such a well manner boy you are."

The mother left to leave Shinji and Mel alone to talk. It was silent for some time before Mel started to say, "Why are you here?"

"To find out the truth, why did you con everyone out of their money?" Shinji said meaning to Tenchi, Kensuke, Yol, and Tousen. Mel looked away as she said, "I don't have to explain to you, it's not your problem."

"Them let me guess, the lack of visitors coming by this place, as it seem to going through its hard times at the moment, with the 2nd impacted the economy dropped, almost crashed, and with the sudden attacks Taxes are raised, and the lack of money to run a place like this… will most likely close or be torn down. Tell me how close am I?" Shinji said to Mel started to cry a bit.

"I lived here for almost my entire life, this place is meaning a lot to me and my family, we barely have enough money to pay the food bills let alone others, and they are using it to pay for school for me." Mel started to say.

Shinji listen carefully to Mel as she keep saying, "I just show up for school for the attendance so my parents don't found out I just skipped most of the time to go to a part time job, my school work get drop off by a friend given me notes to keep up. But when I found out this place would be close in less than a mouth unless they pay the bills, so I use the money I gotten from my job and buy things, and use people to buy them to a higher price." Shinji keep hearing what Mel was saying but he catch at the corner of his eye someone was listening in from the door but saw the clothing that the mother was wearing, as Shinji guess it was her but did say anything.

Tears fell down Mel's face as she went on "I had to do something to keep this place from shutting down, I don't want to lose my home. I don't want to lose my family's home." Mel broke down crying, as Shinji saw how desperate she was soon he got up and walk over to Mel and patted her back to calm her a bit.

"So that is your hope." A voice spoken out from the window as Shinji whip his head around and Mel lift up to see the phantom standing by the window as he said, "That's good to know, now I can drive you into despair!" the man change to his phantom form and ran from the window to someone in the area.

Shinji eyes widen and Mel freak out now that the phantom knew her secret he was going to use it as an explosion happen somewhere and Shinji looked to Mel and said, "Stay here." And Shinji ran out the door passing the mother on the way out, as Mel saw her she said, "Kaa-san?"

(With Shinji)

Shinji was currently chasing down the Phantom to the source of the explosion and what Shinji was met with was the Inn on fire. "Dammit," Shinji cursed as he needed to put out the fire before Mel sees this.

But as if fate wanted to be a cruel bitch to Shinji Mel appeared as she was shocked. "No," she said as the home she grew up in was now burning as Shinji growled.

"Don't worry Mel I'll put out the fire," he said before scanning the Driver On ring.

"DRIVER ON!" the Hand Author invoked before turning into the Wizard Driver. Shinji then flipped it as it began another Chant. "SHABADOOBIE TOUCH TO HENSHIN! SHABADOOBIE TOUCH TO HENSHIN!" the belt invoked before Shinji took out his Water Style Ring and put it on.

"Henshin," he said before scanning the Water Ring causing the Belt to invoke a chant.

"WATER! PLEASE!" it invoked before a blue magic circle appeared next to Shinji before it began to scan him. "SUI! SUI! SUI! SUI!" the belt invoked as Shinji was now Kamen Rider Wizard Water style. Shinji the switched the Driver on Ring with his Liquid Ring before flipping the Hand Author causing it to chant. "LUPACHI MAGIC TOUCH TO GO! LUPATCH MAGIC TOUCH TO GO!" it invoked before Shinji scanned the ring. "LIQUID PLEASE!" it invoked before Shinji turned into water and put out the fire before reforming of course he got a lot of things wet but they would try later.

Mel was surprised that the Inn was saved but the damage would still cause money to be repaired as Shinji was ready to fight the Phantom.

"Damn you," the Phantom cursed before Shinji took a battle stance.

"Oi Phantom its Showtime," Shinji said before he and the Phantom charged at each other and both ended up going outside during their tussle.

(Outside)

Shinji and Mole were outside as they were fighting Shinji took out his Land Style Ring before putting it on and replacing the Water Ring with it before flipping the Hand Author. "Time to level the playing fields," Shinji said before scanning the ring.

"LAND! PLEASE!" the belt invoked causing a yellow Mystic circle to appear below Shinji's feet. "DO! DO!

DO! DODODON! DO! DODODON!" the belt invoked as Shinji was now in his Land Style.

"That won't help you," the Phantom invoked as it dug underground as Shinji took out his connect Ring.

"Whatever he's planning going to need a counter," Shinji said as he flipped the hand Author and scanned the Ring.

"CONNECT! PLEASE!" the belt invoked as a magic Circle appeared and Shinji pulled out his WizarSwordGun.

The Phantom then popped out behind Shinji before slashing him with his weapon and Shinji with his weapon in sword mode tried to slash him but missed as the Mole went back underground. The Mole then appeared a bit away from Shinji before firing his long range attacks causing Shinji to quickly switch his weapon to its gun mode and fire at the Phantom but once again missed as it went back underground.

"How does that Phantom know where I am constantly?" Shinji asked as the Phantom laughed.

"Foolish Ring Wizard so long as I know your scent I can track you down to the ends of the earth," the Phantom said as that gave Shinji and idea. "You have a strong sense of smell, well let's see how well you like what coming to you." Shinji got out one of his spell rings as he scan it, the voice called out, "BIG! PLEASE!"

As a magic circle float above Shinji he raised his arm up that made it super big and then he waited. Shinji close his eyes and try to use the power of his land ring and feel the shakes in the ground to where the mole may pop out at. "There you are." Shinji brought down the hand as it smash the ground, the mole pop up and then Shinji lift up and smack the mole away before it can dig underground again.

The phantom was in a daze when it got hit and Shinji ran up to it at he got an arm lock on it, he took out his new ring and place it on the phantom and scan it. "SMELL! PLEASE!"

Shinji got off as the phantom started to get up as the phantom yelled out, "What did you do to me?!" soon the smell ring power kick in and the phantom was surrounded by a yellow cloud. "AHH, this Wretched odor! Damn you! My sensitive nose..." As the phantom yelled out Shinji use the bottom on his coat to cover his face to block out some of the smell.

The phantom struggle to take off the ring on his finger and said, "I can't keep this fight up!" then he started to dig underground again. Shinji just laugh as he said, "I agree, let put this in the ground." Shinji pulled out his kick strike ring as, he, place it on and flip the author as it started to chant. "LUPACHI MAGIC TOUCH TO GO! - VERY NICE! KICK STRIKE! FABULOUS!"

A magic circle appeared at Shinji left as he twirl himself chucks of land rise up and circled around his leg as Shinji ran, he did a somersault and then flip in the air as he twist his whole body around he scan another ring as it called out, "DRILL! PLEASE!" Shinji's body was twisting around until he looked like a humanoid drill as he drilled into the ground he reach the phantom and kick him and then exploded.

On the surface Shinji pop out from one of the hole the phantom made with fire following him out, then Shinji landed on the ground safely.

(Later)

Mel and her mother were talking as Mel started out, "I'm sorry I lied you to and to father about me going to school. I just wanted to help you guys with everything that going on; I just love this place and didn't want to leave."

Mel's mother nodded and said, "I know, and I knew about it before hand." Mel looked at her mother as she pulled out a report card and said, "You use to be a grade 'A' student, but I knew something was wrong as new you just keeping it at C-."

Mel lowered her head in shame as her mother went on, "I called the school at one time to see how well you were doing, until I heard you were I heard you had permission to work at a part time job." Mel was about to until she said, "I am anger for the lie… but I'm also proud of you to help us." Mel rose her head up to her mother as she walk over to Mel and gave her a hug.

"Me, and your father knows you love this place, and it does mean something to us all, sometimes we didn't know how to break it to you, but you found out anyways." Mel started to cry a bit but didn't sob.

"You don't have carry this burden alone, my child." Soon the mother started to cry a bit too and Mel started to sob as the mother said, "Cry as much as you want, I'm here for you."

Mel cry as she did as mother and child started to cry together. Shinji looked at the scene between the mother and Mel as Tousen came walking gotten word it was over and head over where Mel lived.

Shinji look at Tousen and said, "It's all yours." Tousen nodded as he walk up and knock. As Mel and her mother stop crying for a moment, Mel called out in surprise, "Tousen-kun?!"

"Hey Mel-San." as Tousen said to her and Mel's mother asked, "Who this?" "Please forgive me, I am Tousen Yamamoto. I am…" He hesitated for a moment as he didn't know what to say as Mel was dating him to con him, but he forgave her and then he said, "Mel's friend."

The mother smile and Mel was confused as she knew he knew she was using him but to say he's her friend, she didn't know what to make of it. "Oh are you one of my daughter con?"

She said it bluntly hoping he wasn't too angry but he laugh and said, "Yes… but I want to say, I forgive her for doing so, and with what we had I didn't know if it was real or planned… I like to offer my help."

They were both surprise at Tousen, and then he pulled out an envelope that was holding some pretty big in it as Tousen said, "I would like to pay for the damages, and a small week vacation for me and some of my house details."

Now Mel was very surprise to ether Tousen was ether very crazy or very kind hearted. Shinji left for everything to work out on its own plus this place would be busy for a few days with repairs and guest with a few small favor from NERV employers.

(A week later)

In the newspaper on the front page it showed Mel's family and Tousen surprisingly standing next to Mel and an arm around Tousen shoulder from a man who is Mel's father. The news is saying that the hot spring was in business again as it was being advertised around by the news gossiping can go a long way.

"Man Shinji, you really did them a favor." As Misato said as she put the paper down and Shinji was eating his plain sugar as he said, "Places like those do need help, I just did my part to bring hope."

"Yea, and a thousand dollar charged of advertisement flyers." Misato said it and Shinji said, "Hey if we have giant machine fighting then we got enough money to spare to help those in need."

Misato laugh a bit and said, "Yes I guest so, oh by the way, Rei synch test is schedule in a few hours you want to watch her do it?" Shinji finish his plain sugar and said, "Sure why not, I need a break for things."

(Scene break)

Shinji was in the test room as Unit 00 had finally been taken off combat freeze. As they waited Shinji watched the test while enjoying his favorite treat Plain Sugar Doughnuts. "Ok beginning test," Ritsuko said as no doubt Rei might suffer the same problem Shinji did when he synched up with Unit 1 for the first time and might have to use some Access Ring like he did.

"Opening circuits .1 through .5," Makoto said as Maya spoke next.

"Ego borderline crossed," Maya said as another tech spoke up.

"Beginning synch," Hyuuga said as they were going good so far.

(With Rei prior to the ego borderline being crossed)

Rei took out her Access Ring as she knew she might have to use it to get the soul trapped within Unit 0 to agree to let both of them synch up with it. "Time for a leap of faith," Rei said as she put the ring on and then scanned it.

"ACCESS! NOW!" the Hand Author invoked before Rei felt herself being dragged into Unit 0's underworld.

(In Unit 0's underworld)

Rei arrived just in time to see her Phantom attacking a woman who looked like Ritsuko Akagi and a little girl that looked like Rei did at the time. "I need to stop this before it gets out of hand," Rei said as she jogged to her White Bird like Phantom.

As the white bird was about to strike down the woman Rei got in between them and the white bird phantom stopped. "Well if it isn't my host. Using you magic well are we?"

"Stop this at ones Falco." As Rei named her phantom as she remember from a Ornithology book as her phantom look to be a white falcon also known as 'Gyrfalcon' but using the Latin word for Falcon instead.

The woman lift her head to see the person in front of her and her eyes widen of surprise to see Rei within the Eva. "You really want me to do so? Do you know this woman is?"

Rei turn around to face Ritsuko look alike and said, "I do not." Rei felt a tug on her leg as she looks down at her small look alike and said, "Rei type 1." The little girl nodded and she said, "Hello sister."

The woman look at is happening and was very confuse of what is going on and said, "what the hell is going on here?" the Falco landed to the side and said, "The conflict of two soul within this mechanic behemoth, one of the first to my host, the other a mother to a hated daughter, Naoko Akagi"

The woman hear what the phantom was saying and knew who she was as Rei 1 said, "You read the mind of the Eva." The phantom laughs at that and said, "I can do many think young one, have control over the heavens themselves to make storm brewed, make it rain hail, or make lightning clash, but it seem I am… what's the word, a bird in a cage."

He looked to Rei on that and she said, "That maybe Falco, but at this moment, I wish to have control over the Eva."

The phantom laugh and said, "It's isn't my call but theirs." As he mean Rei 1 and Naoko Akagi. Rei 1 came up and said, "The control over the Eva is not within my grasp at least not all of it." She look to Naoko then so did Rei and the phantom.

Naoko was being stared down and Rei said, "Naoko Akagi was you name? I wish to have control over the Eva." Naoko looked at Rei and then, she got anger as she got up and said, "So your Gendo's pet project he been working on for years. First this Rei came out and now you."

"What are you trying to say?" Rei said to her as Naoko slaps Rei across her face. "You little Bitch you think I would stand for this? You think I let you take Gendo so you can be his little Whore!"

She went at Rei to strangle her as she said, "I kill you for him, I'll let you Rot in this place unti- AHHH!" Naoko was jerked away and thrown across the fields as the phantom did so.

Naoko was about to get up until the phantom was in front of her and said, "You think I'll let a selfish human like you kill my host?" Naoko was frightened in fear of the phantom and then the phantom said, "I think it better if you just… Vanish!" The phantom raised it wing and unleashed a guest of winds that seem so strong it tearing the ground apart where Naoko stood as she cry out in pain and vanish as the phantom said.

Rei was confused of what that was all about until Rei 1 said, "The power of the Eva is within at your disposal. Use it well sister."

Rei look to her first of her sisters and she nodded and said, "Thank you." And then the world went dark as Rei black only to wake up back in the plug.

It was then that Rei began to synch with the EVA as she had her eyes close to focus.

(In the control room)

"Rei had passed the ego borderline and is holding her synch at 71.9%," Maya said as Ritsuko sighed but also felt like in some way a weight had been lifted off her shoulders. Ritusko then went to the mic. Before she began to speak.

"Rei congratulations you have been able to synch with the EVA," Ritsuko said as Rei nodded.

(With Rei)

"Thank you Akagi-san," Rei said as she was about to leave the EVA before she heard the alarms go off.

(Control room)

"An Angel has been detected entering Tokyo-3," Makoto said as Misato nodded before turning to Shinji.

"Ok Shinji prepare to mobilize," Misato ordered as Shinji nodded and headed to the locker rooms to suit up. Misato then turned to the mic. Before speaking again. "Rei you'll be on standby as back up so be prepared," Misato said as Rei nodded.

"Yes mam," she said over the speakers.

(Scene break)

Shinji was currently in the EVA as he was prepared to launch in the EVA. As his EVA was moved to the catapult Shinji could feel that both his mother and Dragon had a bad feeling about this Angel and launching so close to it. Not like Shinji could talk to them but he could tell they were worried even if Dragon may or may not admit it.

"Ok I'm ready to launch," Shinji said as he was at the Catapult.

(Central Dogma)

"Ok then Launch Unit 1," Misato ordered as they began the launch.

(With Shinji)

"Evangelion unit 01, its Showtime," Shinji said before he was launched into the city.

(Central Dogma)

As the EVA launched the Magi soon detected an energy fluctuation coming from the Angel as Maya called it out. "Energy rise in the Angel," Maya called as Ritsuko knew what the Angel was doing.

"Cancel the Launch," the Faux blond called as Makoto tried but it was too late.

"I can't stop it," he said as Unit 1 arrived at the surface.

(With Shinji)

When Unit 1 arrived at the surface the Angel soon fired an energy beam catching Shinji off guard and hitting the Angel as Shinji felt the burning pain his EVA was feeling as he screamed in pain. It was no sooner that Shinji lost consciousness as he could hear Misato ordering a Rescue team to come get Shinji.

(Scene skip medical hall)

Shinji was being wheel in on a stretcher with an ice pack over his right shoulder with a huge scorch mark on it and a breathing pump in his mouth. "The patient is in critical condition, I need 5cc of Morphine," as the doctor name off the thing needed Misato follow close behind as she held Shinji hand and brought him the E.R rooms.

As the nurse held her back as to letting go of Shinji hand she said, "I'm sorry ma'am, but you have to stay out here." "But I'm his Guardian!" as Misato said and the nurse gave a sympathy look and said, "I'm sorry, nothing I can do about it."

Misato stay out as the nurse close the door and some of the best doctors were working there best to help Shinji.

(At the shop)

Mana waited by the phone for a while, as the city was in lock down as the angel show up Rei and Shinji didn't come home and hopes for a call from one of them.

"Don't worry they'll call." As Tenchi said as he was chiseling a stone. Mana didn't say much right now as all she knows something bad may have happen, as the sharp feeling her. She grip the ring around her finger which was looking like a spell ring at the moment, and pray Shinji was alright.

The phone Rang and Mana answer it quickly and said, "Hello?" "Hey Mana." As Misato was calling as she started too asked, "How you and Tenchi doing?"

"Misato, what's going on?" As Mana asked… but more demanded to know what is going on as the sound of Misato sigh in the background it took a few sec before she said, "Not well, we had a backfired in the first attempted against the angel."

Mana didn't like the sound of that and asked, "Is Shinji ok?"

.

.

.

Misato didn't answer and Mana hand grips the phone tight and said, "I see." "Wait Mana it's-, "Misato was saying until Mana hanged up on her. Mana got up and ran to her room with the door slamming as Tenchi heard it he was wonder what was that all about.

Inside Mana's room she was crying softly as she didn't want to be heard and said to herself, "Please Shinji please be alive." She went to her ring trace a finger around the shape and said, "Please come back."

(Scene skip- Rei)

She was in the locker room wearing much nothing other than a white towel wrap around her, as her hair is dried up it show she was out of the showers for a while but seem to refuse to leave the room.

Misato walks in as her shoes stepping on the payment was heard and Rei looked to her and saw Misato had a folder in her hands.

"Hey Rei," As Misato said to her as she walk over and took a sit on the bench across from Rei and then Rei asked, "How Ikari-san?" Misato had a sad look on her face and said, "not well at the moment, when the attack hit Shinji, it burn his shoulder and with a force trauma… he in critical condition at the moment."

Rei nodded and then she asked, "Do you think he'll survive this?" Misato felt like crying as she feel what happen to Shinji was her fault as she had send him close to the angel not knowing its abilities. "I hope, I really do… but if not… I could never forgive myself."

Rei saw Misato was regretting what she done but didn't know how to help her. Shinji was the one to help give hope, Rei was beginning to be a wizard, not knowing her full abilities not only make her feel fear but also sadness because if there was something she could use to help Shinji, she could but didn't know if there was a power to help him at all.

"Anyways… the MAGI anilines the angel, the angel has a powerful A.T field surrounding it that nothing is getting through, as this moment the angel in drilling through to reach the Geofront, but it would take serial hours to do so, and the amount of time the angel stop, we thinking its charging its power then starts up again so that also may give us some more time to think of a plan."

"What would be the best course of action?" Rei asked and Misato thought for a moment and said, "At best, shooting it at a distant with a weapon with enough fire power to pieces the A.T field."

Rei nodded but Misato went on to say, "But it seems this would be a two man team to do so as one to fire the gun and the other to defend him, but right now Shinji is not well to perform ether of these duties." Rei didn't say much to move at all as Misato got up and said, "I'll try to come up with a better plan, hopefully one that can help take the angel down, and make sure Shinji isn't a part of it."

Misato walk out and Rei was alone once more in that locker room. For a while Rei didn't know what to do, but thought of something as she asked herself, "What should Ikari-san do?"

At this moment for Rei she knew Shinji stay by her side when phantom attacked her even when she was still hurt and he came for her when he knew she was in trouble at this moment Rei is just thinking is be by Shinji side.

Rei got up and went to her locker.

(Scene skip)

Lay on a bed with a tube still in his mouth and bandage over his right shoulder with ice packs on top to numb the pain and other medic that may help but to Shinji look, he was still in pain even when he asleep.

The door open as Rei walk in with Shinji Wizard Driver in her hand. She got it before the Section 2 guys got to it and Shinji rings as well as they were keep on a holder of some sort not really understand what to call it.

Rei came to Shinji side as she pulled up a chair and waited.

"You wish for him to live and keep fighting correct?" a voice came out of nowhere as Rei looked and was met with White Wizard coming out of a Gold Mystic circle.

"You again," she said surprised that he was back.

"Tell me you wish for him to live correct?" he asked as Rei nodded as White Wizard continued. "Then use this," he said pulling out a magic ring and gave it to Rei. "That will allow you to transfer a little of your magic into Shinji to heal him but it will only work for you so use it wisely," White Wizard said as Rei nodded. White Wizard then left as Rei put the ring on and scanned it on her Hand Author.

"HEAL! NOW!" the Hand Author invoked before she summoned a mystic circle over Shinji and it began to rain glowing particles over the unconscious boy healing his injuries and anything else that had damaged his body as well as replenish his magic reserves. Rei looked at the ring hoping it did the trick as she did not want Shinji to die so soon.

It was then that Shinji's eyes began to open as he looked to see Rei looking at him. Shinji then removed the tube from his face and got up as he stretched a little showing his injuries were all healed as the ice pack fell off him. "What did I miss?" he asked as Rei smiled happy to see Shinji in one peace.

Rei then jumped and hugged Shinji as she was glad to see he was ok. "Ikari-kun you were hit by the angel and suffered critical injuries it was thank to a new magic ring that you were able to survive," Rei said as Shinji smiled.

"That's great but for me it's time to get back into action," Shinji said as he was about to get up but Rei stopped him.

"Ikari-kun you still need to rest a bit plus there's the plan Major Katsuragi had devised to help beat the Angel," Rei said as Shinji nodded.

"Ok let's hear the plan," Shinji said before Rei began telling Shinji what Misato had told her.

"Ok so basically we need to snipe the Angel from outside its firing range while it recharges to kill it? Shinji asked as Rei nodded.

"Yes that was the best course of action Captain Katsuragi had devised," Rei said as Shinji nodded.

"Ok so get a doctor tell him I woke up and get me to my EVA," Shinji said as he was ready to give the Angel a taste of its own medicine.

(Later NERV HQ)

Gendo couldn't believe what he is hearing, at first his son took a hit from the angel, that scorches his body and several other damage and he was happy to hear that and had several plan what to do to Shinji while in that conditions … until he heard Shinji was awake and the scorch marks were gone and any other injuries, as Gendo plans went out the window fast.

People call it a miracle, other believe it was an act of a god, and scientist thought it was the small amount of LCL still on Shinji that healed him as with the injuries Shinji gotten, as the doctors can only cover the wound up it to prevent any infections. No one had a clue what happen.

Misato was hugging Shinji saying she is sorry what she did. Shinji forgave her as he tells her, there always unexpected about an enemy until they show it.

Misato was going over the plan as she calls it, "Operation Yashima." Shinji and Rei looked the plan that was written on the bored as Shinji asked, "So basically we're shooting from a hill?"

"Well we can't shot from a skyscraper." Misato said it bluntly and she went on to say, "the higher the elevation is, the best shot we can get from it, as I won't lie to you that there a 20% to succeed from this."

"What is the weapon that going to be used for this?" As Rei asked and Misato pulled a paper from a folder and read as she said, "A prototype positron rifle, that is still in testing phase but it shows it can fire into low Earth-orbit, but at this rate the power output from normal generators wouldn't be enough."

"Don't me ether it would be like 10 or 15 power station or somehow power it through… you know." as Shinji said that last part as he knew his father has ears everywhere and only a few trusted to know about it.

"Would it be possible?" as Misato asked and Shinji said, "Well if I had to guest… no the prototype isn't a part of… 'It' so even if I did or something it might not be what you're looking for, as well I never done anything like that before at all." Shinji told his honest truth and didn't know what else to tell her.

Misato sighed and said, "Well just because it never been done before, that mean we should kill it off, well try to make it a Plan B. Right now we need to pick up the positron rifle, sense delivery take time; we'll make a pickup, Rei you're on weapon Transport as Eva 01 is still being repair it might not be ready until the Operation committed, so Shinji get plenty of rest until 1800 hours we strike. Dismissed."

Shinji and Rei left to carry out their orders as Shinji was on standby until his EVA was repaired.

(Later at school)

Though the city was on lock down school had not been canceled as Shinji was sitting in his seat as Rei was not in today because she was making the pickup for the Positron Rifle. Though it made Shinji wonder why the hell the JSDF had such a weapon he was currently focused on the Angel that was trying to drill into the Geofront. Shinji had really wished he had stopped at the Doughnut van on the way here but he was late so he had to skip his Plain Sugar Doughnut and now he was hungry.

"Hey Shinji," Tenchi called as he and Mana had hugged Shinji when she found out Shinji was ok Tenchi grinned knowing Shinji was the greatest EVA pilot to ever live so a lazar blast from the Angel was noting to him.

"Hey guys," Shinji greeted as Mana spoke up.

"I'm glad you're ok Shinji but how are, you going to kill the Angel if it can fire a lazar at you when you get within its range," Mana asked as Shinji smirked.

"I'm going to snipe it from a distance more specifically from that hill," Shinji said as he pointed at the hill near the Angel just outside its firing range.

"That's awesome going Medal Gear Solid on this giant diamond thing," Tenchi said as Mana sighed.

"Baka it's not Metal Gear Solid if he's sniping him it's more like Halo or Call of Duty," Mana said as Tenchi growled at Mana always calling him an idiot.

Shinji laugh and then he said, "Well right now, I'm going to get some rest for the operation later tonight, and Rei is doing a job so she won't be home till later."

Tenchi nodded and said, "Alright then then can you tell Rei her ring is almost done I'm about to put some finishing touches on it." Shinji nodded and said, "I'll pass the message to her."

Shinji got up and Tenchi said, "Alright." As Shinji walk off Mana looked to Shinji as she saw he had a look in his eyes and not the kind that good, but more worry.

Mana got up and walk to Shinji room, she open the door just a crack to look in as she see Shinji writing something. He took about a few minutes to finish up and then he stands up and about to walk out then stop.

Shinji turn around to the letter, and then he grab the chain around his neck as he took it off and place on the desk, and then from his pocket was the broken SDAT player.

Turn to the door as he walks to it and walk out of it. Mana came out from another room as she watch Shinji leave, she walk into his room, and looked at the three things on Shinji desk. The locket, the SDAT player, and the letter as she pick that up she read it.

Her eyes widen as her drop the letter and ran to the door as she went out; she saw Shinji was already driving off. "Why?" Mana asked to a question that Shinji left without saying a word.

(Later that Night)

Shinji was in his EVA as the Positron Rifle was already set up for Shinji as he had a feeling that there was more at work than just the Angel wars. After all War is usually used as a cover for something more evil it's a proven fact of life. As Shinji was sitting in the plug with his Access Ring activated he arrived at the surface as he looked to his side and saw his classmates were watching as if they were there to wish him good luck. Shinji grinned and made his EVA give a thumbs up as Rei was carrying the shield that would be used in case the Angel fires.

(With Rei)

As Shinji moved his EVA to the sniping point Rei had also had her Access Ring activated though currently there was only one Sphere available for her while the other two were dull showing she didn't have the Style Ring for them. "I am in position for operation Yashima," Rei said as Shinji was also in position.

(With Shinji)

"I'm ready to fire just tell me when this bad boy is all charged up," Shinji said with a grin as he was ready to let lose fire power on the Angel.

(With Rei)

Rei pulled out her connect Ring having a hunch it might be needed if not to draw the Angels fire on her. She scanned it before it invoked its chant.

"CONNECT! NOW!" the belt invoked as Unit 0 pulled out its CrossSwordGun for battle and kept it in Gun mode.

(Battlefield)

From high in the sky you can see the lights in Japan were being turned off as the power was being sent to the Positron cannon to supply it with the power it needed to pierce the Angels AT-field.

(Central Dogma)

"Ok is the Positron Cannon charged up?" Misato asked as Maya checked.

"Yea it's ready to fire," Maya said as she noticed the moon was out and the sun was fully set.

"The calculations for Earth rotation and energy output had been accounted for," Makoto said as Misato smiled.

"Ok Shinji you have to ok open fire!" the Major ordered as Shinji was ready.

(With Shinji)

"Payback time," Shinji said before pulling the trigger.

(Battlefield)

A powerful beam was fired from the Positron cannon but once it entered the Angels firing range the Angel also let loose its own laser as the two beams twirled around each other causing Shinji to miss as well as the Angel to miss.

(With Shinji)

"Dammit," he cursed as he knew the Angel didn't need to worry about reloading.

(Battlefield)

The Angel once again fired its beam but when it was going to hit Shinji Rei got in the way as she used the shield to block the attack.

(With Rei)

"Ikari-Kun we don't have time to recharge but I have an idea can you combine your WizarSwordGun in Gun mode and my CrossSwordGun into the Positron rifle to give it the fire power it needs?" Rei asked as she held on.

(With Shinji)

"I'll try," Shinji said as Rei nodded before Shinji took out his connect Ring and scanned it.

"CONNECT! PLEASE!" the Hand Author invoked before Shinji made Unit 1 pull out the WizarSwordGun.

"Now next," Shinji said before taking out his Flame Style Ring and flipped the Hand Author.

"SHABADOOBIE TOUCH TO HENSHIN! SHABADOOBIE TOUCH TO HENSHIN!" the belt invoked as Shinji flipped the visor over his Flame Style ring.

"Henshin," Shinji said before scanning the ring.

(Battlefield)

"FLAME PLEASE!" came the voice of the Hand Author as it began the chant as the Ring appeared in front of the EVA. "HI! HI! HI, HI, HI!" the Wizard Driver invoked as Unit 1 was turned into Evangelion Wizard 1 Flame Style.

Unit 2 then threw its CrossSwordGun in its Gun mode as Shinji was able to attach his WizardSwordGun in its Gun mode before catching the CrossSwordGun and attaching it to the Positron Rifle.

Unit 1 then pulled the thumb of the WizarSwordGun starting another chant. "COME ON SHOOT SHAKE HANDS! COME ON SHOOT SHAKE HANDS!" it chanted as Shinji only had one shot at this.

(Central Dogma)

Misato saw what's going on as her eye widen and she smile as Shinji figure out a way to put his magic into the weapon as he combine his and Rei's weapon onto the Positron Rifle.

"MAGI is recalculating, something change in the energy output." As Maya said and Ritsuko went over and said, "This is unbelievable, power output increase by 40 no 45… it keep going up."

(Battle field)

"FLAME! SHOOT STRIKE! HI, HI, HI! HI, HI, HI!"

As the gun charged up the energy of the flame shooting, tip of the glow a bright red as the fires from the distant seem to be attracted to it somehow as it flow from the burning forest area and into the gun.

A ball of fire build up as it became hot around the area the brightness from the fire ball itself blinded everyone that looked at it.

Shinji aimed at the angel and said, "Rei Move!" Shinji said as Rei drop down with what left of the shield Shinji pull the trigger as he said, "Nova Shot!"

The blast of the weapon was powerful it created a force that blow everything down as the giant ball of fire came at the angel, it up its A.T field like it hope it would hold… it didn't hold out long.

The A.T fields shatter before the blast reach it and the angel could fire back as the thing was too close and as it hit, people took cover as the blast from it was great, cover their ears from the loud roar of it, and shut their eyes tight of the great light that blinded everyone.

After a minute or so… everything went silent and dark. NERV blacked out before the blast hit, the area of the angel use to be in was nothing but a steaming lake of water that cover the area in a thick white smoke.

Rei plug was also black out as the energy from the blast made everything shut down and forcefully eject the plug.

Rei was in hot LCL, she felt like almost being boiled alive until the sound of the hatched was being open as it did a light peck throw as the LCL spilled out and the face that greeted Rei was Shinji.

"Rei!" Shinji drove in and pulled Rei out laying her on the grass Shinji started to say, "Rei are you alright?" Rei puke out the LCL from her lungs as she was outside the plug she turn to Shinji and asked, "Did… we… get it?" Shinji smile and said, "The angel is gone."

Rei smile and said, "That good." She close her eye and keep breathing know she was just sleeping now as protecting Shinji took a lot out of her and being coopted up in the heated LCL her shin was red to the look of it.

Shinji smiled, he knew this operation was very risky and didn't know what could happen. He wrote a letter to Tenchi and Mana, he was worry about them but mostly Mana to her special problem, he hope Tenchi could get in touch with his old man to find someone to help Mana.

Shinji smile but a single tear came down his face, thinking he may not come out of it alive then started to laugh at himself and said, "I lost a bit of hope to think I might never come back… I guess I'm a fool."

"A fool yes, but one with a heart." as a voice came to Shinji as he turn the white wizard was standing before him as he said, "White wizard?"

"it's take more than hope to overcome despair, as it take faith and heart to see what could lays ahead and the courage to walk the path to it. You overcame your despair as you were your mother light her hope, you stand again the odds even they were against you. You are indeed have become a strong Wizard young one."

The wizard held up a red stone as Shinji eye widen to it as the wizard as he said, "A magic stone."

The white wizard lay it down and said, "When hope seem all lose your own creation of despair would be your great hope."

"Wait what do you mean?" as Shinji called out but the white wizard vanish before he could say anything and Shinji was left alone with Rei on his lap.

'What did he mean, the creation of my despair becomes my greatest hope?' as Shinji thought, as he seem didn't hear the vehicles pulling up.

(Scene break that morning)

Shinji was at the shop with Tenchi and Mana showing them the new Magic stone as Tenchi easily identified it as a magic stone. "Wow Shinji White Wizard is so generous I'll get to work on turning this magic stone into a ring right away," Tenchi said as he took the stone to make the ring.

Mana saw Shinji and when Tenchi was gone she grabbed a fan and hit Shinji upside the head with it. "OW what was that for?" he asked as Mana looked like she had tears in her eyes.

"You... BAKA WHY DID YOU MAKE ME WORRY LIKE THAT!" she yelled as Shinji saw she had read the letter.

"Sorry Mana I guess I was being a baka but I promise I won't make you worry like that again," Shinji said as Mana huffed wiping away her tears.

"You better not or else I'll make it hurt much worse," Mana said as Shinji smiled on put his hand on her head.

"I wouldn't have it any other way," Shinji said as Tenchi was working on the Magic stone.

It was then that Rei walked in as she got off lucky with only a sun burn level of a burn so she would be making a full recovery. "Hello Ikari-kun did Tenchi finally finish my new style rings?" Rei asked as Shinji smiled just as Tenchi came out with two rings in his hand.

"Here Rei-chan new magic rings like you ordered," Tenchi said as he gave Rei her new Blizzard Style Ring and her Hurricane style Ring as Rei nodded.

"Thank you Tenchi-san but do you really need to be looking at my chest?" Rei asked before Mana heard and smacked him on the head hard.

"Perverted baka," she said as Tenchi's head was giving off smoke from where Mana had hit him.

Shinji of course sat on the sofa and grabbed his bag of Plain Sugar Doughnuts before digging in. "Well things around here just never seem to get boring now do they," Shinji said as he enjoyed his Doughnut.

"Yes it appears so Ikari-kun," Rei said as she also sat down and took put a plain Sugar doughnut before biting into it.
