Garo Rebuild of Makai

ESKK: Hey it's me with a new chapter of Garo Rebuild of Makai. This is where Arc 1 will come to an end and begin Arc 2 anyway yes I know I haven't introduce SEELE yet but be patient they will appear in due time. Anyway enjoy the chapter and if it's short then I apologize.

(Start)

Gendo Ikari was sitting in his office playing Shoji which wasn't new. No what was new was he was back to being Rokubongi as Shinji defeated him in Chess yesterday. He knew of Garo and the Makai Order through Yui but what he didn't know was who was wielding the armor of Garo sense he doubted Shinji would have be given the right after Yui worked on EVA.

As he sat he moved a piece as Fuyutsuki spoke up. "You seem angry," Fuyutsuki said as Gendo growled.

"I know but I have been defeated and humiliate by my son and those damn Makai Cockroaches on multiple occasions," Gendo said as Fuyutsuki nodded.

"Yes it seems that The Ougon Kishi Garo has proven that he isn't going to let mankind end lying down," Fuyutsuki said as he moved a piece.

"But I need to figure out who is under the Golden armor because if Garo interferes anymore the dream I ad Yui strived for would have been for nothing," Gendo said as Fuyutsuki nodded.

"Yes that is quiet he problem," Fuyutsuki said as he moved the piece.

"I win the game," Gendo said as he did in fact beat Fuyutsuki.

That was when Ritsuko walked in as she was carrying a file. "Sir I have located information on the Gold Knight," Ritsuko said as she pulled out the data and showed it to Gendo.

"A children's book?" Gendo asked as Ritsuko began to explain.

"Yes it seems that Garo is the name of the armor and the book was written by your late wife's mother before she passed and Garo slays monsters at night," Ritsuko said as Gendo had an epiphany.

"So you're saying that," Gendo began as Ritsuko nodded.

"Yes your son is the Golden Knight Garo," Ritsuko said as Gendo then gained an evil smirk on his face.

"Good job Dr. Akagi carry on," Gendo said before Ritsuko nodded and walked off. 'The scenario will need a little adjusting but it is all going according to plan," Gendo said with an evil smirk on his face.

(Meanwhile with Yamato)

Yamato was heading over to the Watchdog as he had questions pertaining to his mother's murder as he had to locate the Knight who did it and bring him to justice.

Once Yamato arrived he presented Silva to a wall as she was on his hand before the pathway opened and he entered the Watchdog Center.

(Inside)

Yamato arrived at the Center and found the Watchdog there waiting for him as he did a respectful bow. "Hello Madam Watchdog," Yamato greeted as the Watchdog smiled.

"Hello Yamato-san what can I do for you?" she asked as Yamato stood straight and looked at her.

"I wish to have information pertaining to the Knight who killed my mother," Yamato said as the Watchdog sighed.

"Yes information did come up but not much all we really know is that the Knight was donned in pitch black armor and not much to go from there," the Watchdog said as Yamato nodded.

"Is there anything that can be identified on the armor?" Yamato asked finally getting a lead.

"No but the number of Black Armored Knights is low so it could be any of them," the Watchdog said before Yamato nodded and bowed.

"Thank you," he said before leaving.

Once he was gone the Watchdog actually pitied the boy allowing Vengeance to cloud his mind when it comes to his mother. "Poor boy."

(With Rei that night)

Rei was tossing and turning in Shinji's apartment as her mind was riddled with dreams of someone she never met but knew was a part of her. "Tou-san please listen," Rei said in her sleep as this hadn't started sense she saw Garo.

(Rei's dreamscape)

Rei was watching from a 3rd person point of view as she saw Yui and a man that shared a resemblance to Shinji but with a goatee as they were even dressed the same. "Tou-san listen the Makai Order is outdated they have been fighting the Horrors for centauries and they keep coming through if we evolve mankind with this project and EVA we can be free of the Horrors!" Yui argued as the man who was the Garo before Shinji glared but if you looked closely you could see he was heartbroken as a father who watched his daughter go down this path.

"Yui can't you see this is a force evolution of mankind that will lead to humanities extinction and the Horrors will still be around in Makai until humans come back what your doing is trying to doom the human race!" the man said as Yui glared.

"Then maybe that's good because then the mankind can be free of the Horrors!" Yui yelled as the man had enough.

"Yui what about your son and my grandson are you really willing to put him through all this just to have divine authority!" the man yelled before Yui had enough.

"You know what as far as I'm concerned Shinji doesn't have a grandfather on my side," Yui glared as the man was shocked. Yui of course had moved out a long time ago but then she stormed out of the house to head back to GEHIRN as Zaruba who was on a pedestal then spoke.

"That could have gone better Hiroshi if she keeps going on like this the Garo name will be tarnished by her your own daughter," Zaruba said as Hiroshi punched the wall without leaving a dent as it was clear he had to make the toughest decision of his life.

"I'm sorry Yui but you leave me no choice," Hiroshi said as Rei soon found herself in a dark room that looked like the Senate that Shinji had talked about before.

Yui of course was bound as her Madou brush was kept away from her as she glared at what looked like a trial and from what Rei could see it was the verdict. "Yui Ikari you have dared to break one of our most sacred tenants as well as dared to attempt to play god," an old woman said as she was wearing a Senate uniform. To either side of Yui was Hiroshi in the Garo armor and also a man in black armor but with a shield. "What do you have to say for yourself?" the old woman demanded as Yui glared.

"What I did was so humanity can advance you idiots don't seem to understand that the war with the Horrors will never end so if we remove humanity from the equation then Makai will surely crumble without their primary food source," Yui said as the old woman glared as she can tell even Garo was ashamed as Rei also saw she was ashamed to even have Yui in the order. "But if you so much as make Shinji a Knight then I won't hesitate to kill you," Yui said as she wasn't going to let Shinji carry the burden of Garo.

"Then you leave us no choice," the old woman said before producing a crystal like Madou Tool that Yui recognized as she was wide eyed. "Yui this will mark you as one who has been excommunicated from the order," the old woman said as Rei could feel Yui's fear. "You have trampled over our sacred duty as ones who protects," the old woman said as Yui was truly scared. "I pity you Yui Ikari," the old woman said as the black knight took Yui's shirt and only her shirt as Yui knew what was next. "You do not even understand the sin you have committed," the old Makai Priestess said as she glared. "If this was a human court you would have been executed and your son raised among us but we cannot do such a thing at the very least you shall be branded for your corruption as one who has been Excommunicated, any children you bear from this moment forward shall carry this mark as any who carried this mark shall never wield the power of Garo or have the power of a Priestess nor will there children only Shinji shall wield Garo and cleans the taint you placed on it," the old woman said as she walked up to Yui who was now struggling.

"You brought this upon yourself," she said before slamming the crystal into Yui's chest as she screamed in pain as Rei felt like she was suffocating. The markings spread across Yui's body as they were marking her from head to toe. To Yui it felt like hot Iron was branding every part of her skin as she screamed in pain.

Garo of course looked away knowing for him this was the equivalent to disowning his own daughter. Soon the world vanished in white as Rei found herself in Yui and Gendo's apartment. She saw the young Shinji was asleep as Gendo was most likely at Gehirn as Yui looked at her skin that carried jagged crimson/black markings as she looked at them with rage in her heart.

"Damn them... damn them all if they touch Shinji' I'll kill them, I will not let him become Garo," Yui growled as she knew so long as she had those markings any more children she would have would also be branded with these markings. "Tou-san you betrayed me I'll make you pay if I ever see you in Hell," Yui growled as when Yui turned to Rei the blue haired girl was shocked that even Yui's face was branded as she had this crazed look in her eyes. "I'll have my revenge," Yui said before Rei ended up waking up.

(Real world)

Rei shot up in her bed as she was sweating. The fear she felt was a first but she also felt Yui's rage she knew if Shinji ever entered the EVA he could very well lose his life. "Yui Ikari why wasn't I branded as well?" Rei asked as she looked at her skin expecting to see the branding there but there was none.

(With Shinji at morning before school)

Shinji was on the rooftop of the apartment building doing at least few minutes of stretches before he did some training with a wooden sword, so that way Misato won't be suspicious when shows up. Shinji finished his stretches and went towards the wooden sword to start training.

A training dummy appeared as it had multiple arms each wielding a wooden sword as Shinji took a battle stance as he slid the wooden sword across his arm before the dummy came at him. Shinji slashed and blocked the attacks that came at him as this dummy was custom made to modify its difficulty as the battle progresses and change tactics as it fights its opponent.

Shinji dodged an attack as he noticed the battle was getting harder before he jabbed at the Dummy getting the first strike. But before the battle could continue the Dummy stopped as from the roof was Takahashi as he walked over to Shinji.

"Garo-dono the Watchdog detected an Angel Class Horror moving torts the city and we all are required to report to her right now," Takahashi said as Shinji nodded.

"Just let me get Zaruba and the Garoken," Shinji said before he left to pick them up.

(Scene break Watchdog Center)

The Three Knights and one Priestess in training were gathered before the Watchdog before she spoke. "The Angel Class Horror on the way is a formidable one it is a living Fortress that your armors alone won't be able to penetrate it can fire a powerful laser that can melt even Soul Metal I fear the Evangelions that NERV has developed will be needed for this battle," the Watchdog said as Shinji was shocked.

"But how will we be able to seal it if an EVA is used?" Shinji asked as Rei looked concerned.

"We will have Takahashi and Yamato set up seals that connect to the Wolf Statue once the Angel class Horror is destroyed its remains will be transferred to the Wolf Statue to be sealed into Makai," the Watchdog said as she then looked at Shinji. "I know you despise the EVA for what it did to your mother but there are truths that will be revealed to you in due time but for now you MUST pilot the EVA," the Watchdog said as Shinji sighed.

"Very well lady Watchdog," Shinji said as a pedestal with the wards appeared.

"Yamato, Takahashi take these wards and placed them in the areas I have had marked in the city by motes of light," the Watchdog said as the duo nodded before the entire group left.

(Later)

'Damn, I can't believe I have to pilot the EVA.' Shinji thought angrily while he drove a motorcycle, borrowed one of Yamato's, to NERV with Rei riding behind him.

'Can't blame you, after all it killed her.' Zaruba said through mental link.

'Yeah, now I have to make that shitty bastard Gendo happy on this one.' Shinji said to Zaruba.

'Just be careful, I have a feeling that if he found out about you being Garo; he'll have to tweak his plans for humanities extinction.' Zaruba said unaware that how right he was.

'Gotcha.' Shinji said. Although, he has a feeling that Yui didn't just piloted the EVA to kill the Horrors.

"Ikari-kun how about we talk about something like how your Makai Knight Training was," Rei said as Shinji looked before sighing.

"My training was handled by my grandfather the Garo before me. He was strict and expect nothing less the excellence from me but he always said to try my best because I me and I should be happy with being me," Shinji said as they stopped at a stop light. "Though I can tell he had a broken heart he always looked sadly at the picture of my mother though he also had a butler Gonza he taught me how to cook sense I wanted to do something at the time to cheer up grandpa, eventually he passed away not by a Horror but because of a weak heart and passed the title down to me," Shinji explained as they soon drove.

"You really respect your grandfather and Gonza don't you?" Rei asked as Shinji nodded.

"Of course after my father abandoned me they were all the family I had," Shinji said as they drove to NERV. "Gonza was like a surrogate father and my grandfather though was busy and as cold as stone at times always showed his soft side me," Shinji said as Rei nodded.

That was when the Angel alarms sounded as the duo looked and saw the Angel hovering over the city as it looked like a diamond. "We better hurry," Shinji said before revving the engine.

(Later at NERV)

Shinji was with Misato in Central Dogma as she looked at him confused. "Why aren't you loading up in EVA?" Misato asked as she still felt sorry about yelling at Shinji as she was surprised to see him dressed in his plug suit.

"Because something isn't right about that Angel it's just floating there and not doing anything we need to do recon before we do a plan of attack," Shinji said as he glared at Gendo as the Generals still had some control.

"Denied," Gendo said before a general spoke up

"No he has a point last time we attacked without knowing what the Angel was capable of and we got totaled I suggest we send a fake EVA to get close and see what the Angel can do," the General said as it looked like those Knights weren't showing up.

"Very well then," Gendo said as he needed to do some tweaking and it wouldn't help to have the Golden Knight killed before the promised time.

(Later Battlefield)

The Angel stopped before it began to drill into the ground so now was the time to see what the Angel can do. A giant robotic balloon EVA was being pulled torts the Angel as once it got close enough it raised a fake pistol before the Angel began to unfold on itself and open up to a different shape before it fired at the fake EVA destroying it with a powerful beam.

(Central Dogma)

Misato and NERV as shocked to see that Shinji's hunch was right on the money as Misato turned to Shinji. "Nice call Shinji," Misato said as Shinji looked.

"Yeah now that we know its weapon we need to know its detection range before we can do a proper plan of attack," Shinji said before turning to the General.

"Sir are you willing to part with one of your Mortars for this?" Shinji asked as the General nodded.

"Yes if it's just one," the General said before he went to get the order.

(An Hour Later)

On some train tracks far away from the Angel a Mortar was pulled on a train as its target was the Angel. It soon fired and hit the Angel doing no damage to it at all but the Angel of course then fired back at the Mortar destroying it.

(Lab)

"From data we know the Angel will destroy anything that gets into its firing range, it's, AT-Field is pretty strong as it is used to protect it from any type of normal metal rounds, while its body is just as thick," Makoto said as Misato growled.

"Damn that thing is a walking fortress," Misato said as Shinji and Rei were also there.

"If I had to say we would need to snipe the Angel from outside its range but also have someone be a shield I the event that shot misses and give the shooter enough time to reload and even then we would need a huge amount of energy to pierce the AT-Field and destroy its S2 Core," Shinji said as Misato then got an idea but she had to ask about the drill.

"So when will the drill pierce into the base?" Misato asked as Hyuuga answered.

"We have till midnight till it reaches the Geofront," he said as Misato smirked as she was being given a challenge.

(Later)

"Captain are you sure?" Gendo asked as he kept his cold calculative glare.

"Yeah I think if we can snipe the angel and fill the riffle with all the energy in Japan we can take it down without risking damage to the surrounding areas," Misato said as Gendo got what he needed.

"Very well you are approved to carry out this operation," Gendo said as Misato nodded and walked off.

(With Shinji and Rei)

Shinji just put on his Plug Suit, which he finds very uncomfortable.

"I hate this kind of suit." Shinji said, to him it shows off too much of his figure and he feels naked without his leather armor and duster.

"Something wrong Ikari-kun?" Rei asked as Shinji looked.

"Yeah just trying to get some breathing room in this suit," Shinji said as he hated this suit.

"Ikari-kun you may dislike the suit but it's required to synch with the EVA," Rei said as Shinji was ready they just needed to get the Sniper from the JSDF.

"But this Suit restricts movement," Zaruba said from Shinji's finger.

'Hate this suit.' Shinji complained in his mind.

(Scene break)

Shinji walked towards EVA-1 while he had a bucket of dislike for his suit and he's wondering how his fellow knights are doing.

(With the two Knights)

"Last one." Takahashi said while placing a seal on a building without being spotted.

"Hopefully it will be enough for Shinji to seal the big guy or we're goners." Yamato said staring at the Horror.

(Later with Shinji)

As preparations for Operation Yashima were being made Shinji sat in a test plug doing a simulation of the operation sense this would be Shinji's first battle in an EVA. "Ok Shinji just center the target and pull the trigger it's that simple," Ritsuko said over the communications link as Shinji's mind was elsewhere.

'There are truths that will be revealed to you in due time,' the Watchdogs voice repeated in Shinji's mind as he sniped the Angel knowing full well this simulation was useless in preparing for the real thing.

'Truth, what truths could she mean?' Shinji mentally asked himself not caring if Zaruba heard.

Zaruba of course knew those truths but he knew said truths were ones that Shinji couldn't handle because how much he loved his mother. The truths could possible break Shinji and possibly destroy the Garo name forever especially sense Shinji was in the order thanks to the strings his grandfather pulled.

The simulation continued for couple of more hours before Ritsuko spoke again. "Ok Shinji that's enough it's time for the operation remember Rei will defend you with a shield made from a Space Ship armor while you snipe the angel," Ritsuko said as Shinji nodded to the camera before getting up and leaving the plug.

(You should have been more detailed)

Shinji got out of the plug, still grumbling about his plug suit being uncomfortable, until he saw Rei getting out of her EVA.

"Hey Rei." Shinji said while approaching her.

"Ikari-san…" Rei noticed him.

"Did you pick up the rifle?" Shinji asked to his ally as Rei nodded.

"Yes it is now being set up luckily thanks to your hunch we were able to be better prepared as now we have more time to deal with the Angel," Rei said as Shinji nodded. But Shinji soon saw Rei was unnerved about something as he sighed.

"Something the matter Rei?" Shinji asked as Rei looked.

"Oh it's just... be careful when Operation Yashima begins," Rei said as Shinji nodded.

"Of course but you need to smile more," Shinji said as Rei was shocked. "I mean if you're always cold like that you will probably die before your bloodline as a Makai Priestess can be passed down," Shinji said as Rei was confused.

"My bloodline?" she asked as she was confuse.

"Yeah we inherit not just a power and blood from our predecessors but all the feelings they had which is passed down to us see a Knights strength as contrary to what we are taught is our feelings so you should smile when your happy," Shinji said as Rei looked before nodding.

'Would the pilots report to their EVA the operation is about to begin," the intercom said as Shinji looked to Rei.

"Guess it's time to move out," Shinji said as Rei nodded.

"It appears so," she said before Shinji headed to his EVA.

(Scene break)

The two EVA's come face-to-face with the Angel Horror Ramiel.

(Unit-1)

'Alright Shinji, I know your more of a sword person but good luck' Zaruba said through mental link.

'Thanks Zaruba.' Shinji said as the gun began to charge up on power.

(Battle Field)

Unit-1 just fired its gun and the shot landed on Ramiel, making people look like it's been killed

(Unit-1)

'I wish this could be a simple victory' Shinji said through the mental link with Zaruba.

'Trust me; I wish for that too.' Zaruba said as the two now sees Ramiel still alive.

(Battlefield)

Ramiel just fired its laser and Unit-0 just quickly placed the shield in front to block the attack while Unit-1 charges its gun.

(Unit-1)

'Dammit, I really need to fire!' Shinji yelled in his mind while the guns power is at 23%… now at 28%.

(With Rei)

Rei kept holding on as she had to keep the shield up so the Positron Sniper can have enough time to get a full charge. Rei's eyes was soon assaulted by another image as she saw Garo blocking an attack from a Horror as Rei was wide eyed to see Shinji's grandfather there instead of the shield.

For what seemed like hours the beam soon stopped as Rei hoped that Shinji had a full charge.

(Terminal Dogma)

"Please tell me he had a full charge?" Misato asked as Maya nodded.

"Rifle is fully charged!" Maya called as Misato looked.

"Ok Shinji FIRE!" she ordered.

(Battlefield)

Unit 00 got out of the way before Unit 1 pulled the trigger and fired as the beam sailed through the air it hit the Angel causing it to spread out as you could see inside its body its S2 core was destroyed as the Angel soon exploded into red blood as it flooded the city bit and mixed with the already red sea.

(Unit 1)

Shinji sighed in relief as he remove the targeting computer before turning to Zaruba. "Was it sealed?" Shinji asked as Zaruba looked.

"Yeah I don't sense its presence anymore," Zaruba said as Shinji sighed.

But that was when Shinji realized something. "Crap Rei!" he called before getting out of the plug.

(Outside)

Shinji quickly headed to Rei's ejected Entry Plug before he went to the emergency hatch but it was over heated causing Shinji's hands to burn but he ignored it before opening the plug. "REI!" he called as he saw her passed out a little tanned but ok as she looked at him.

"Ikari-Kun..." she said as Shinji nodded.

"Are you ok Rei?" Shinji asked as Rei nodded.

"I am...glad to be alive and that you came for me," Rei said a Shinji smiled.

"Then smile," Shinji said as Rei looked shocked before she did a small smile.

(Scene break Rei)

Rei was on her desk as she was writing a letter to Gendo. She knew this letter might brand her a traitor to Gendo who would have her killed and replaced by a clone but she was intent on making sure it was sent before he went to the Watchdog and explain the truth. "I am Makai Priestess I am among those who protect," Rei said before sealing the letter and heading to NERV knowing the Commander was possibly in a meeting with SEELE.

(Scene break Watchdog Center)

Rei arrived now dressed in black and white as her clothing were a Makai Priestess uniform as she approached the Watchdog. "Ayanami-san what are you doing here?" the Watchdog asked as Rei looked.

"To reveal the truth of NERV and Gendo's plans for humanity as well as SEELE's."

"Plans?" Watchdog asked curiously and it caught her attention.

"Yes, but can you also call the Knights here as well?" Rei requested.

"Very well." the Watchdog said.

(Moments later)

"What did you want to talk about?" Shinji asked curiously while Takahashi and Yamato were here too.

"To reveal the truth of NERV and Gendo's plans for humanity as well as SEELE." the Watchdog quoted Rei.

"Really?" Shinji asked while in his mind…'Whoohoo! I always knew that old bastard was up to no good!' he thought happy.

'And you were right.' Zaruba said through mental link. Yamato and Takahashi noticed that Shinji looked a bit happy.

'Wow, he hates his father that much.' both Knights thought.

Rei then appeared before she began to speak. "The Underground council SEELE wishes to use the EVA's to instigate the Human Instrumentality Project which is the Forced Union of all life on this planet," Rei explained visibly shocking the Knights.

"That's insane," Yamato said as Shinji spoke up.

"But what does Gendo have to do with this?" Shinji asked as he wanted answers.

"Gendo wishes to use SEELE's plan but his own version with what he calls Final Impact which is the exchange of all life on earth for the life of Yui Ikari," Rei explained as Shinji was shocked.

"The b*** is trying to cheat death," Shinji cursed as Takahashi had question.

"But how do you and Shinji fit into this?" Takahashi asked as Rei nodded.

"Gendo has a contingency for everything I was cloned from Yui and Angel Lilith in order for Gendo to have a proper control over the course of Impact, Shinji was the trigger with Unit 1 with Garo being the power source," Rei explained as the Watchdog gasped.

"That man plans on using the greatest of all armors to end humanity this is very troubling," the Watchdog said as Zaruba spoke up.

"I think we should call for back up no doubt the Angels will only get stronger with Makai Knights and Priestesses here add the fact Gendo is planning something big we have to be prepared for it," Zaruba said before Silva spoke up.

"Yes though what worries me is that Gendo has produced a lot of Inga it's only a matter of time before a Horror shows up and possesses him," Silva said as that got everyone thinking.

'If a Horror hasn't possessed him yet then why wait?' was the thought of Shinji as that bothered him.

(With Gendo that night)

Gendo was angry he was very angry he received a letter addressed from Rei as it showed that she is going against the Scenario. He was raging as his desk was ruined. He was beyond angry as he knew his son was needed for the Scenario but now he had to kill Rei and replace her with another of her clones which served to anger him more... That was when a dark voice was heard.

"So much Inga..." came a voice as Gendo looked around for the source.

"Who's there?" he asked as he could tell someone was here.

"So much rage, grief, and Inga it's intoxicating," the voice said as Gendo could tell it was close. "Tell me if you had the power to make you plans an reality with a different method would you take it?" the voice asked as Gendo saw the gift Yui had given him glowing an ominous dark color.

"Yes I would destroy the world if it mean bringing Yui back to me," Gendo said before the voice chuckled.

"Very well then I shall give you that power and as a bonus leave you in control of your body," the voice said as soon a black smoke left the item now identified as a Gate before it entered Gendo's body through his mouth, nose, and eyes as he didn't even let out a scream.

Once the process was done Gendo smirked as his eyes showed the signs of a Horror as he sat on his desk knowing what he needed to do.
