I own nothing
Chapter seven
12th Angel's destruction and Powers surfacing
Shinji was currently being led on a walking tour inside of his family's large, island castle (think of the castle from LOZ Ocarina Of Time) by his grandmother, Kyoshi. With every step he took, the palace walls seemed to glow and glitter.
He was told by his aunt Suzuka that the palace housed over 315 servants, 200 maids and over 350 armed guards.
Not only being told this, but the island itself was protected by a barrier that conceals it from the Earth's radar, their satellites in space and extraterrestrials. And Ororo and Ryu had just commissioned Reiko to make a special sensor array that would alert them in advance of anything that got within a hundred miles of them. This made him feel at ease. As for the island if itself it was massive nearly bigger than the size of japan itself.
The forests and jungles were teeming with all sorts of animal life big and small virtually undisturbed. Reiko herself hinted at some very, very large surprises on island. But they would reveal themselves in due time. Right now it was approaching dinner time for the family so they traveled to the dining hall for dinner.
"This is such an amazing place. A true paradise in sky," Shinji said, walking into an extravagant dining room which looked like something of the one of dining halls at the Buckingham palace. Except the walls were pearl white, almost shining so brightly. The walls were lined with golden framed scenery portraits the dinner table itself and was a long rectangular size. Shinji wondered how difficult it would be to keep it clean and neat at all times. Not that he would be the one doing the cleaning for once.
"That's an understatement," said Vanessa as she and Betra took their seat next to each other
"There's more to see but it can't wait till after we eat." Reiko said also taking her seat
"Where are Mommy and Daddy?" Kusano asked, taking her seat next to Shinji.
"They're both changing. They should be here in a few minutes." Kikyo said, sitting down across from Kusano .
"We should all be thankful that Ryu and Ororo showed up when they did." Suzuka said, taking her seat next to Kenshin.
"Indeed, you're right dear. No matter how hard either of us trains, I don't think both our speeds can match with his." Kenshin said
"Or mine Uncle Kenshin," Shadow said "Compared to me you two are slow as tug boats."
"Just you wait Shadow, you'll see there is someone who can catch you."Suzuka said
"What about mother? Did you see the way she totally obliterated Candra." Kagome spoke up excitedly taking her seat next to Kikyo. "She wiped her out."
"Yeah! Mommy was amazing!" cheered Kusano
"Kyoshi, from the way the kids are talking it looks like we missed quite an exciting night darling" chuckled Sanger as he Kyoshi walked into the dining hall.
"I know, honey. If I were down there fighting I'd show them all why I am the Mistress of the four elements."
"Agreed, my love you'll get your chance one day."
"And what about you? Do you miss being called the Sword that Smites Evil?" Kyoshi questioned
"A little, yes." replied Sangar thinking back to his days as a solider
Hydra took her seat not bothering to put anything into conversation. A few minutes Ryu and Ororo emerged, Ryu was dressed in a black kimono top with a black haori vest over it with black ninja pants with sandals. His hair was pulled back into a ponytail all and all he looked like a very dignified ninja master. And Ororo was dressed in an all-black, African-styled sun dress that reached down to her legs her hair was without the headdress but it still shined brightly. And she wore no make-up, making her look very beautiful.
"Sorry, we're late. I had to take a call," Ryu said taking his seat at the head of the table with Ororo next to him.
"Is everything alright, Father?" Asked Kikyo
"Yes, it's just something I'll need to look into soon that's all." Ryu replied, though his wife knew there was more to it.
"You know, the kids were talking about the wild night that you had in saving Shinji," Kyoshi said.
"Yes, yes, it was a wild night." Ryu said.
"But what matters most is that Shinji is safe and we're all together," Ororo stated, with everyone nodding their heads in agreement.
"Yeah, you're right, Mom," Kagome said.
"She always is," whispered Ryu,
But before anything else could be said, something large flew over the large window of the dining hall, startling most the family, but not all of them.
"Oh, don't worry about that. That was Eagle Zord. Making its usual fly around the sky." Reiko said nonchalantly.
"Eagle Zord? What's that?" asked Shinji.
"It's a giant, living, mechanical animal that resides here on this island." Reiko replied.
"Are there more of these Zords?" Shinji asked, curiously and a bit fearful should he encounter one.
Reiko nodded that there were.
"Yes, lots more, but don't worry. They won't eat you should you encounter one. They're gentle beings. But you should treat them as you treat every living being with respect and kindness." Reiko said seriously while Shinji nodded in understanding as the servants brought in their dinner.
"Finally," both Shadow and Hydra said in an exasperated tone and in unison, as they were both very hungry.
Again Shinji was very relieved that he didn't have to cook for once. His thoughts were cut short when little Kusano hopped onto his lap. Shinji just smiled at that, though little did he know Shinji himself was being watched by a pair of violet eyes hidden in the shadows outside.
HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
(Sometime later)
After a splendid family/welcome home dinner, Shinji was being led to his new room with his own bathroom by his sister, Kikyo. Reiko and Kyoshi had promised him a full tour of Animaria in the morning. The boy felt a little more than relaxed. But deep down he seriously hoped what he was experiencing now was not a dream and it was all real.
"Shinji," spoke Kikyo.
"Yes, Kikyo?" Shinji asked.
"Are you concerned about the Nerv organization?" asked the priestess, still making Shinji pale as he'd forgotten all about them.
"I'd forgotten all about them. They must be looking for me right about now," Shinji mused, while Kikyo placed her hands on his shoulders in a comforting fashion.
"You need not fear, little brother. We are safe here. Nerv will never find us," Kikyo said in an assuring tone, which Shinji found comforting and relaxing for some reason.
She proceeded to lead Shinji to his room. The pair finally reached the door Kikyo opened it, which was larger than his old room back at Misato's apartment, practically near house-sized. It came with all the necessities: a very large, king-sized bed, a 32-inch flat screen TV mounted on the wall, a desk with a holo computer, and large window with a balcony, giving him an excellent view of the forests and lakes of Animaria.
"Wow!" gasped Shinji as he looked at the view.
Kikyo merely smiled.
"If you need me or anyone else or anything, just call my room. It's a few rooms down from yours," Kikyo said before closing the door, leaving Shinji alone who sat down on the bed.
'I can't believe that all…this is mine. This room in this castle, this family, and this brand new life' he thought as he lied down on the bed, looking up at the ceiling.
Just then, his door suddenly opened up. Sitting back up, he saw no one was there.
"That's strange," mused Shinji, walking to the door and examining no one was there.
Deciding to leave it alone for now, Shinji decided to get ready for bed. Walking over to his new dresser, he opened it and pulled out a pair of fancy, dark blue pajamas. After a quick change, Shinji proceeded to shut off the lights and crawl into bed, until a strange feeling crept up his spine. He had this feeling he was being watched, yet he was in the room by himself. Shinji looked up at the ceiling and gasped.
There was a shapely, beautiful, young woman hanging from the ceiling, upside-down, looking down on him. She had big breasts and long, dark hair tied into a ponytail. She was dressed in a purple, short-skirted outfit with thigh-high purple socks with sandals and a sword strapped to her back, making her look like a kunoichi. Her eyes were a deep violet, but her face was expressionless, like a sphinx. But for some reason, he could see a purplish aura around her.
"Umm… Hello?" Shinji said meekly while the woman kept staring at him.
She leaped down effortlessly on the bed while Shinji quickly got off the bed, obviously startled, but at the same time captivated by her beauty. The woman placed a large grain of rice on Shinji's nose. Then, as quick as a flash, she drew her sword and cut the grain in half causing the boy to stumble and fall backwards. But surprisingly, she didn't cut through Shinji's flesh. Shinji, obviously frighten, slowly backed away to his door and scurried out the room, heavily panting and sweating.
"Who was that woman?" asked Shinji as he felt the door open and the silent woman stepped out with a chain sickle in hand.
Seeing this, Shinji ran down the hallway. The violet-eyed woman spun the chain sickle around like a cowboy with a rope and tossed at Shinji. Her aim was perfect as the chain wrapped around the boy's torso and proceeded to pull him back to her.
"Shigure that's enough!" exclaimed Ryu, coming down the hallway.
"Father!" Shinji cried in relief.
"Master ...Ryu," Shigure said in a slow monotone voice as the Ninja master approached the two.
"I was wondering where you were, Shigure. You didn't appear for dinner, and I also see you have met my son, Shinji," said Ryu, removing the chains around Shinji's body and helping him to stand up.
"Shinji this is Shigure Kosaka, an expert weapons master and Kunoichi. She is the daughter of an old friend of mine. She will be tasked with protecting you." Ryu stated.
"Protecting me?" asked Shinji.
"Yes. Star Guardian or not, you're my son and your mother and I can't help but be concerned for your safety when neither one of us are around." Ryu explained.
Shinji looked at the woman again still at bit shaken from his encounter with her. For some reason he could still see the purple aura around her.
"Well it's…nice to meet you, Shigure," Shinji greeted but she just nodded and walked away without a word while Shinji could still see her aura.
"Her personality takes some time to get used to. Is something the matter?" Ryu asked, noticing Shinji's look.
"I don't know. I can see a purple aura around her for some reason. In fact, I'm starting to see an aura around you, father." replied Shinji, seeing a blood-red aura around Ryu.
While Ryu put a hand to his chin in thought.
"It seems to be an aspect of your Star Guardian powers beginning to surface." Ryu guessed
"My powers are beginning to surface now?!" gasped Shinji wondering what he should do.
"It would seem so. I will speak with Reiko about this in the morning. But for now hurry on to bed we have a full day ahead of us tomorrow."
(The next morning)
Shinji awoke the rising sun light to shine through his window, getting up he found that he wasn't alone in bed. Moving the covers he discovered that Kusano was sleeping soundly next to him wearing cute orange pajamas. Moving slowly so he wouldn't disturb her Shinji got off the bed and went to the window the see the awe inspiring sight of Animaria in morning. The morning sun rose above the sky as birds flew by.
Then he noticed a most interesting sight: His new mother and Father walking into the wide open area of the forest. Curious he decided to follow. After a few minutes Shinji left the castle and went towards the same area that Ryu and Ororo went into. The forest wasn't too dense thankfully, as he followed his parents' footprints with ease. Finally reaching the wide open area Shinji found a most peculiar sight. His mother and father near the vast lake standing around as if waiting for something. He quickly took cover behind a large rock so they wouldn't spot him.
'I wonder what they're waiting for?' thought Shinji as he watched his parents.
However Ryu merely smiled as he had already sensed his son nearby. Sure enough, the sound of something large was coming. That something large was a gigantic, green and gold, mechanical deer with sliver antlers with purple eyes. Shinji just gasped.
"Good morning, Deer Zord," greeted Ororo.
"Rahhh!" the deer growled softly in response, as if saying Good morning in response.
"Are you ready for your daily song my friend?" asked Ryu pulling out a flute.
"Rahhh!"
"Ororo, make your angelic voice heard," Ryu said, motioning for her to begin.
Ororo took flight a few feet away from the giant, mechanical deer. Ryu began to play as she began to sing.
Each day when the sun rises, I hurry from my sleep,
I can't wait to greet you with my song.
You are every kind of flower, every animal I meet,
You are nature full of grace and majesty.
From your skies the snow gently falls to the earth,
From your tress the birds nest and play.
From your oceans the fish school and travel the world,
Oh, nature, please don't ever go away.
Each day when the sun rises, I hurry from my sleep,
I can't wait to greet you with my song.
You are every kind of flower, every animal I meet,
You are nature full of grace and majesty.
From your skies the snow gently falls to the earth,
From your tress the birds nest and play.
From your oceans the fish school and travel the world,
Oh, nature, please don't ever go away.
Shinji was in captivated awe at his mother's singing voice, it was as if she was bringing everything to life with her voice. And his father's flute playing was absolutely amazing then wondered what else his ninja father can do. Ororo floated back down as the giant deer left obviously appeased.
"Did enjoy our performance…Shinji?" asked Ryu as he turned to rock where Shinji was hiding. Slowly Shinji walked out head down like he had been caught doing something wrong.
Lifting his head to look at his parents, he answered, "Yes, I did. I didn't know you play the flute, father."
"I am a man of many talents, as is your mother is woman of many gifts," Ryu replied.
"Well, I guess my only talent is to play the cello. And no other instrument," said Shinji causing Ororo to frown slightly.
"Well we're going to have to change that." Ororo said, putting her arm around Shinji's shoulder.
"You have a lovely, singing voice, mother".
"Thank you, sweetie."
Suddenly Shinji heard whispery buzzing sound in his head(A/N if anyone watches Star Wars Rebels it's Disney's sound of the force)
Seeing Shinji's glazed, look Ryu asked, "Are you alright Shinji?"
Shinji merely nodded, though Ryu knew there was something more and made it a point to speak with Reiko later on through day. Nothing else was said as the trio went back to the castle unaware of what was to happen on that day.
(Back at the castle)
An hour had passed Shinji's new family had a pleasant breakfast now Shinji was now being led by Reiko to her personal lab the castle.
"You don't need to worry, Shinji. I promise this examination won't take long. And then we'll take you on tour of the island. I wasn't surprised when your father said your powers were beginning to surface it was bound to happen once they've stabilized." Reiko said walking down the hallway.
"What type of powers do you think I'll have? I'm already starting to see auras around people." Shinji said following her.
"That's what we're going to find out. You could have a wide range of abilities possibly similar to your mother or your brother though I'm inclined to think your more to the latter."
"I might have abilities like Shadow's?"
"It's possible." replied Reiko reaching the doorway to her laboratory.
As the doors opened up Shinji gasped at her lab. It was large her equipment, looked far more advanced than anything that Nerv ever made. But what really caught his eye was the machine near the far left near the window. It looked like something of a huge capsule filled with a green liquid substance with a console right next it. Before he could examine it Reiko pulled him over to a medical table.
"Alright, first I'm going to need to give you this " Reiko said taking a hyperdermic syringe filled with red liquid off the table and injecting it Shinji' arm causing him to wince for a bit.
"What did you just inject me with?" asked Shinji feeling a bit odd.
"A modified formula based off your father's blood. It'll help make you stronger, and faster then you have ever been and make you immune to most illnesses and intoxication." stated Reiko taking a device off the table while Shinji looked down on himself and seen his muscles bulk somewhat and had felt very strong.
"I basically have father's blood in me, making me stronger?"
"Yes. Reiko made the formula from my blood at my request," said Ryu walking into the lab.
"Ryu, good of you to join us. I see you're just as curious to see what Shinji's abilities might be" said Reiko while he nodded.
"Shinji did say he was able see auras around others. So I suspected it might just one of his abilities." Ryu said while Shinji felt that whispery sound buzzing in his head again. As if telling him something was coming.
"Something's coming" whispered Shinji as the alarms went off. Stopping what they were doing Ryu, Shinji and Reiko headed out unaware the capsule beeped and was opening up.
"What's going on?" asked Ryu as he Shinji and Reiko ran into the control room.
"An Angel has appeared in the middle of Toyko-3 sir!" shouted one of the bridge techs.
"That's an Angel?" asked Shadow, walking into the control and seeing the a zebra striped ball floating above a massive shadow.
"Apparently, so. Though, we can confirm it's doubtful Nerv hasn't yet" said Reiko looking over the main console.
"I should be down there." Shinji whispered though the whole family in the room heard it.
"In those dangerous, uncontrollable pieces of junk Nerv calls humanity's last hope? Not a chance in hell."
"Reiko, call Matsu on the Ark." ordered Ororo, seeing the Doctor nod and make the call on her phone.
"Ark?" asked Shinji looking at his grandfather.
"A hidden space station high above the planet. Its weapons has the means to purge the Angel from the earth." answered Sanger seeing Reiko nod and hang up her phone.
"Matsu said she already knows and she and her crew are charging the eclipse cannon. It should be ready to fire shortly" said Reiko looking at the large monitor and seeing that Nerv had dispatched two of their Evas Unit 02 and Unit 00.
"It sickens me to no end to know that Nerv is willing to sacrifice the lives of children without an ounce of regret." Ororo stated angrily.
"Agreed, the arrogance of their high and mighty commander is thinking he can control fate and not the other around, he will burn. Ryu replied.
Just then an image of beautiful shapely girl appeared on screen. She had long, red hair, wearing a cheongsam like dress and glasses.
"This is Matsu eclipse cannon is fully charged and ready to fire." reported Matsu.
"Good, prepare to fire directly onto the massive shadow below the orb." Ryu ordered
"But what about those two Evas nearing the Angel? They'll get caught in blast."
Before Ryu or Reiko could reply Vanessa voice came over the screen.
"This is Vanessa, Trowa and I are in position and we have Nerv's hunks of junk in our sights" said Vanessa with an EMP bazooka not that the family could see it.
"Then hurry and take your shot. No lives will be lost on this day." said Ryu said while everyone nodded in agreement.
(At the city of Toyko-3 currently being engulfed in darkness)
Vanessa and Trowa were on the nearest building half way from the Evas position.
"Trowa are you ready?" asked Vanessa readying her EMP bazooka. (think of the Bazookas from Halo but a bit bigger)
"I'm taking the red one," stated Trowa aiming his bazooka at Unit 02 while the Eva in questioned proceeded move fast towards the Angel.
"Arrogance and pride. A bad combination they cause a person to make mistakes like this."
Trowa fired at Unit 02 with perfect precision electrocuting it, shorting it out, then the massive Bio- mech went down, while Unit 00 was a bit further away.
"Good shooting. Now for my target." said Vanessa taking aim despite Unit-00 was further. Using her cybernetic optic implants to calculate the trajectory to Unit-00's location. Like a hunter stalking its prey Vanessa waited patiently till Unit-00 was in range. When Unit-00 passed the next building Vanessa fired off her bazooka electrocuting the blue Eva bringing it down as well.
"This is Trowa, mission accomplished," he said over his over com- link as Shadow appeared behind them.
("Alright, get out of there Matsu is about to fire the cannon.") Sanger replied back.
Nothing else was said as Shadow warped three of them back to Animaria.
(Space Colony Ark (Yes the colony from Sonic Adventure 2)
"Okay, we got the go ahead from the others. Fire the eclipse cannon." ordered Matsu from the top of her console.
"Yes ma'am locked on target!" shouted one of the techs.
Underneath the ark the cannon began glowing with an emerald green energy. It reached its peak and fired toward the earth.
(Back on the Animaria)
The family watched silently as the green energy beam blast through the Orb and the massive Shadow that was the Angel. The Angel began to warp, twist and crack and to bring to implode from the inside. Then explode from outside completely destroying it."
"That's going be one hell of a clean up." Sanger commented seeing the bloody remains splatter half the city
"Well, that's one Angel taken care of but what of others I still need to-" Shinji started to say but was cut off.
"You won't be fighting them in those hunks of junk. We have something else for you to fight them in, something better." Reiko stated.
"What would that be?" Shinji asked.
"You'll see," answered Reiko with a smirk.
Shadow reappeared with Vanessa and Trowa back in the control room and saw the Angel completely destroyed on screen. Shadow turned to his father and asked.
"Father, when do we get our shot at Nerv?" asked Shadow.
"Patient, my son. Good things happen to those who wait," Ryu replied, sensing Shadow's eagerness
"Patient isn't my strong suit."
"We'll deal with Nerv in due time, Shadow. But for now, it's time to take your brother on a tour of the island," said Ororo, moving away from her husband and towards Shinji.
Nothing else was said as the few other members of the family followed her out.
End chapter
End notes: This the fixed chapter, again I apologize for the mistakes, I hoped I cleaned it up properly and everything makes better sense then it before. I'll will be cleaning up the other chapters too. I was in a weird place when I wrote it, I wanted to mirror it like gunman' s but I tried too hard. There's a lesson here always triple check your work, on either mobile phone or computer. My beta reader is NOT responsible its me and I own that. So that's I know that you can't review twice so send me a PM and be cool.
