Summary: NERV meets Shinji's new family when they decide to make themselves known to the various people who have hurt and abused Shinji.
HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Two days after the 13th Angel battle found a new group of students walking into the hallways of Tokyo-3 Junior High.
The group consisted of Shinji Ikari. His sisters Sango, Serena, Sasami and Ranma (in girl form). His cousin Ruri. His bodyguards Ami, Lita, Raye, and Mina. And he had his pet tiger Tora in his backpack.
"Are you sure about all this?" Shinji asked. "I mean... what if Section 2..."
"It's sweet that you're worried about us, brother." Sasami said, clutching his hand.
"Don't worry, Shinji-dono." Ami said.
"Yeah, your grandfather made sure they were taken care of." Raye said.
"And it's not as if we couldn't handle them." Lita stated.
"Alright." Shinji said, his family and bodyguards surrounding him like a shield.
HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Meanwhile, inside NERV, another group of people were arriving while a disgruntled commander was not happy.
"I don't like this, sensei." Gendo groaned as he stared at the large, dimly lit office. "Giving tours to people we don't know."
"I know, Ikari. But this entourage apparently has information about the giant robot that Shinji was piloting two days ago." the aged sub-commander said. "They sent us the design specs on the robot as proof."
"Which doesn't include the vital data we need. I still don't like this idea about being civil, and giving them a tour of our base? We should torture them for the information."
"Somehow, I don't think that would work."
"And why not?"
"These people obviously know about the giant robot that Shinji was piloting. If they created it then trying to torture them would not be at all a good idea."
Gendo looked at Fuyutsuki, as if the older man was telling him that they would have to be strong as well as smart.
"Very well. For now, we shall be civil."
Just then, the intercom beeped.
"Yes?" Gendo replied.
(Sir, the royal envoy has arrived.)
"Understood."
Royal Envoy? Fuyutsuki wondered.
"Have Major Katsuragi and Dr Akagi give the tour. I'm not in the mood."
"They wanted to meet you as well, Ikari."
"Later."
"Understood." the older man said as he walked out. If these people know what happened to Shinji, I wonder where he is?
HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Shinji walked into the classroom, followed by the nine girls.
Several guys, including Toji and Kensuke were drop-jawed.
While young, both Sasami and Ruri were eye-catchers with their rather youthful exotic features. The older Sango was quite the looker as well. Serena, Ami, Raye, Lita and Mina in turn caught their own attentions as they were all very attractive young women. And Ranma (in his girl form) caught the eye of several boys as 'she' was a redhead.
Like Asuka.
Speaking of which...
"SHINJI, YOU BAKA!!"
"Guess who." Shinji sighed.
"Where the hell have you been? Where did you get that giant white robot with the swords? What were you doing the last two nights? You were supposed to be cooking my dinner! I had to eat Misato's damned curry! You owe me big time for this, baka!" the angry German girl shouted.
"No." said, not looking at the girl.
"What?" Asuka gasped, surprised by defiant nature.
"I don't owe you... anything." he said, staring the girl square in the eye. "The things I did for you in the past were done out of my own generous nature, to help you, hoping that maybe we could have been friends. But you took advantage of that for your own personal and selfish nature, not giving a damn about my own feelings. You considered me to be nothing but a servant, someone to order around like a dog. Well, no more, Asuka. I'm done taking orders from you."
"Why you..." she shouted as she moved to slap him, when a strong hand caught hers. "Huh?"
"Don't even think about it!" Lita growled as she towered over the redhead.
"Who the hell are you?" Asuka asked, not realizing that this girl was even in the room.
"I'm Lita, Shinji's bodyguard." she said.
The whole class was silent at that.
"Actually..." Raye said as she stepped from behind Shinji and put herself next to Lita. "We all are."
Asuka looked to the two girls, to the others that were flanking Shinji. The girl who looked a bit like Rei Ayanami, and the girl with long blond hair. Then there was the taller girl with jet black hair who seemed just a little bit older than the rest, the blond girl with long pigtails, the tough looking redhead with the long pigtail, and the two younger girls-the one with long greenish hair and pink eyes and the girl with silver hair and gold eyes.
"Actually, we," the blue-haired girl started to say, indicating herself, the blond without pigtails, and the two who had 'introduced' themselves to Asuka, "are Shinji's bodyguards."
"Body--" Asuka gasped.
"We're his sisters." Sango said, her arms wrapped widely around both Serena and Ranma with Sasami in the middle.
"Sis--" Asuka gasped again.
"I'm his cousin." Ruri said.
Asuka, along with everyone in the room, was stunned into silence.
Shinji had a family? When had this happened? Where? Why? HOW, was actually the big question on everyone's minds.
Sensing their distress, Shinji came to their rescue.
"Asuka, everyone, I'd like you to meet my family and friends." he said, turning to his sisters. "This is Sango, Serena, Sasami and Ranko. My sisters." he said, introducing each of them in turn, and making sure to use Ranma's female name whenever he was a girl. "This is Ruri, my cousin." he said gently wrapping his arm around the silver-haired girl. She blushed a little at his touch. "And this is Ami, Mina, Lita and Raye. They're my bodyguards." he said indicating each girl as he introduced.
"Bodyguards?" Toji gasped.
"Sisters?" Hikari gasped.
"Cousin?" Kensuke gasped.
"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT??" Asuka shouted. "You don't have a family, baka! Even the commander doesn't consider you a son! You've got nothing! You are nothing!"
"That's it." Lita growled as both she and Raye reacted. Lita's right fist and Raye's left fist connected hard with Asuka's face.
The whole class was once again stunned. Someone had actually knocked out Asuka Langley Sohryu.
"How is she?" Shinji asked as Lita and Raye propped the unconscious redhead back into her chair.
"She'll live. No major bruising." Mina said as she used her powers to make sure that she didn't have any 'major' bruising. She did, however, leave something to remind her of what happened.
"Thanks, Mina." Shinji said.
He had a feeling that Mina didn't like the idea of using her powers on Asuka, but she still did it, because it was his request.
"We apologize, Shinji-dono." Lita said.
"No. Don't apologize." Shinji said. "To be honest, she kinda had it coming."
It was then that Toji and Kensuke made their presence known.
"Whoa, Shinji! Where'd you get all the girls?" Toji asked.
"And what can you tell me about that giant robot you pilot?" Kensuke asked.
Shinji figured that Kensuke had either once again tapped into his father's computer, or had gotten out of his shelter once again.
Fortunately he didn't have to answer.
"YOU TWO!" Ranko snapped, getting the pair's attention. "Who the hell do you think you are?"
"We're Shinji's close and personal friends." Kensuke announced proudly.
The redhead looked at them as a sweatdrop fell down her forehead. "FRIENDS?" she spat angrily. "The only reason you're friends with Shinji is to get closer to Misato." she snapped at Toji. "And you!" she pointed at Kensuke. "The only thing you care about is giant robots, and any information you can get out of Shinji or hacking your fathers computer regarding them!"
She was fuming now, and even Shinji's bodyguards were backing away.
She... knows about my computer hacking? Kensuke thought.
"Real friends wouldn't care about things like that! Real friends would have actually wanted to hang out with Shinji on his birthday! You two didn't because your precious Misato wasn't there to ogle!" Ranko barked. "As far as I'm concerned, you two are nothing but a couple of moochers who just use Shinji-kun for your own purposes! You're no friends of his! You don't care about him, just like that bastard commander of NERV! So you can just stay the hell away from him from now on!"
The pair, along with the class, were silent as the redhead finished her speech.
"Shinji?" Toji asked the boy.
Shinji just took his seat, not bothering to look at the pair.
Toji and Kensuke just looked at him in disbelief, as if he had just rejected them. Even though he was justified in doing so, it still hurt.
"Hey, Shinji!" Toji shouted and moved towards him, only to be blocked by Ranko.
"I said, stay away!" Ranko said with an intense glare.
"And what are you gonna do if we don't?" Toji asked, trying to look scary.
PUNCH! WHACK! KICK! PUMMEL! PUNCH! KNEE-STRIKE! SLAM! HIT! HIT! JAB! RIGHT-CROSS! ROUNDHOUSE! POW! KICK! HIT! PUNCH! ROUNDHOUSE! LEFT-CROSS! JAB! DOUBLE-KNUCKLE! DRAGON KICK! TOSS! CRASH!!
The instant the first blow had been thrown, Shinji spun around and bore witness to the violent display of his two former friends being pounded into the ground by his sister/brother.
Sango and Lita had to cover Sasami and Ruri's eyes so they wouldn't be witness to such violence.
The rest of the class just winced as the two boys received a serious beat-down.
Both Toji and Kensuke were lying in heaps of mangled flesh at the far corner of the room, groaning in pain and agony.
"Dude! Suzuhara just got owned by a girl!" one of the boys in class whispered.
"Why did ... I get... beat too?" Kensuke coughed. "Why..."
"Oh... My...God!" Hikari just gasped.
"Relax. We're not going to do anything to you." Mina said.
"You're... not?" she asked in disbelief, figuring herself to be next in line after Asuka, Toji and Kensuke.
"You actually wished Shinji-kun a happy birthday." Mina said.
"And haven't tried to use him in any way." Ami replied.
"Oh. Uh... thank you." she said, still scared of the girls nonetheless.
Off to the side, Ruri noticed that Rei was actually watching the events.
If she had a cellphone, she would be calling this into Commander Ikari. She thought.
HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
(Speaking of which...)
Misato and Ritsuko had spent the better part of the morning giving a tour of their base to the royal envoy that had arrived. A tour that Ritsuko had to give over Misato. The envoy actually consisted of five core people: a middle-aged samurai man named Kambei, an attractively shaped woman by the name of Aika, a young looking priest named Kamihito, and a shorter woman with spiky red hair named Washu. And these four flanked a gorgeous and elegant woman with long silvery blond hair named Serenity.
The second they meet Serenity both Misato and Ritsuko thought that she was royalty personified. She had introduced herself simply as Serenity, with Kambei and Aika as her bodyguards, Kamihito as her spiritual advisor, and Washu as her science expert.
Had Ritsuko not been forced to give the tour instead of Misato, she would have better spent trying to get the info of the giant white robot out of Washu.
But while the pair were giving the tour to the quintet, another group of people were sneaking around the large and unusually empty top-secret HQ.
Alucard was using his shadow-teleportation to keep an eye on Gendo.
Motoko was using her holographic camouflage to sneak around NERV.
And Sarutobi was using his henge powers to disguise himself as a NERV employee and wander around as well. This was somewhat difficult since there weren't a lot of employee's to begin with, but he managed.
The tour went on, until the group ended up on the command bridge.
"And this is where we run ops for our battle against the Angels." Misato said proudly.
"Ah. So this is where you order Shinji out to fight." Washu said, her own hands fiddling with what looked like an IPod.
"Shinji? What do you know about Shinji?" Misato asked, the blond scientist next to her realizing that her friend had inadvertently steered the potential topic of discussion away from the giant robot.
"We're his family now." Aika said, stunning the NERV crew as they looked at the envoy.
"What? Since when?" Misato asked.
"Since it's what he wanted." Kambei said.
"Misato, I'm sure you're a good person, but this is what Shinji wants." Serenity said, her hand still clutching the poem that Shinji wrote to her, neatly folded and wrapped in ribbon in the belt around her waist.
"Good person?" Motoko spat, suddenly appearing next to Misato. "How good can she be if she forgot his birthday?"
"His birthday?" Misato gasped as a beautiful woman with short purple hair appeared next to her as if from out of nowhere.
"See? She didn't even know." Motoko said.
"When was his birthday?" Misato asked.
"Two days ago." Aika answered.
"Two... days?" she said, growing pale.
"You only noticed when the Angel attacked that Shinji wasn't here." Aika said.
"You were busy at NERV, Asuka was at her friend Hikari's house, and everyone else was out doing their own thing. No one even said 'happy birthday' to him. Not a single card from any of the people of NERV..." Kamihito said.
"No well-wishing by his former father..." Kambei said.
"And even his so-called friends from school didn't even want to hang out with him." Aika said.
"Easy to see why he wanted a new family." Serenity said with a sad smile.
"That selfish brat!" Misato said after several quiet minutes, her voice angry and indirectly aimed at Shinji himself.
"Selfish? Is it selfish to want a family to love and comfort you when you need it the most? To spend time with you when it's your special day? To just hold you and tell you that they're glad you're alive?" Serenity asked.
"We're in the middle of a war! Certain... sacrifices have to be made." Misato said, her own words sounding dry like ash in her mouth.
"Shinji just wants to be loved, Misato. He can't do that under NERV, which strips away his soul bit by bit until there is nothing left." Serenity said.
"Now wait a minute!" Misato snapped.
"No, you wait!" Motoko snapped back and stepped forward.
Misato froze as Motoko stepped up to her, grabbed the sides of Misato's head and pressed her mouth to hers.
All of NERV was stunned as Motoko frenched the purple-haired major. Maya was blushing furiously and Makoto was green with envy. Even Shinji's family couldn't look away from the two women.
Misato was struggling to break free, but as Motoko was a cyborg she was far stronger, but Misato couldn't know that, so she could do nothing as the woman kissed her. Nothing, but enjoy it.
"Shinji was right. You do drink a lot of beer." Motoko said as she suddenly broke the kiss.
"Wha-- HEY!" Misato said, suddenly realizing the statement made.
"Shinji is happy with us, and we're happy with him." the cyborg woman said.
"Then he's happy for the wrong reasons." Misato said, barely able to keep from stuttering.
"Wrong reasons?" Motoko gasped. "At least we don't use him, like everyone else in this goddamned organization! At least we don't treat him like a tool or a weapon! We don't want him to fight, we don't push him into battle. If he wants to fight, that's his choice, but at least we give him the option."
"Misato, he doesn't want to pilot Eva, because it causes him nothing but pain. You know this, yet you all force him into the pilots seat every time just so that you can live to see another day. You put him in the path of danger every time an Angel attacks while you stay down here where its relatively safe. He stares his own death in the face every time he is on the front line, many times alone, and you all know it's wrong." Washu said with a fairly condescending tone.
"But there isn't any other choice! Shinji's the best pilot we've got! His kill record speaks for itself!" Misato said.
"Yes. He is your best pilot. But that's only because he's a selfless hero. He fights for other people, unlike your emotionless little albino and that egotistical redhead. But at least the robot I gave him doesn't result in a bio-feedback that causes him undue pain." the spiky redhead said.
"YOU gave him that robot?" Ritsuko said, trying to get her original conversation back on track.
"It was my birthday present to him." Washu smiled widely.
"The Evangelions are the most effective weapons against the Angels." Misato said.
"Not after that last battle." Washu grinned.
"You do realize you are in our headquarters. Under our authority." Gendo said, suddenly appearing on the bridge, though he had actually been there since Misato and Motoko's kiss.
"Boy do you need a reality check." Aika muttered to herself.
"Sir, the pilot of Unit 01 has arrived. And he's brought guests." Shigeru said.
"He's What?" the grim commander gasped.
HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
It was nearly 3:00 in the afternoon as Shinji and his female companions walked into NERV. They didn't meet any Section 2 agents as they walked through the dingy metal hallways of the base.
"Sorry we're late, but we had to finish school first." Shinji said to them, the boy stepping up to the elegant silver-haired woman, and receiving a warm hug from her.
This actually made Misato's heart drop a bit.
"Where are the Section 2 agents assigned to watch the school? Why didn't they report this?" Gendo barked.
"Probably because they were unconscious." Sarutobi said, removing his henge to reveal himself. "Not very smart people you have working for you."
"Who are you?" Fuyutsuki asked the man who looked older than himself.
"Sarutobi. I am Shinji's grandfather." Sarutobi said, his unlit pipe in his mouth.
"How dare you bring these people to NERV without my authorization." Gendo roared at the Third Child.
"I don't need your authorization anymore." Shinji said defiantly. "Nor your approval or praise."
"I am still your father." the grim man growled.
"Actually, you're not." Washu said with a grin.
"What?"
"Take a blood sample, if you're not convinced."
Shinji wasn't sure what this is going to prove. He was Gendo's son, even if Alucard called him as such. Nevertheless, he trusted Washu so he let Ritsuko take a sample, using a hypodermic needle she just happened to have on her person.
Ritsuko took the blood sample from Shinji and went to her lab. Motoko followed her using her stealth suit to make sure that Ritsuko doesn't botch the test, while Washu watches on the feedlink from her cybernetic eyes. While Ritsuko was conducting the test, Shinji introduced everyone, from his new family to the members of NERV whom he knew.
He then went into a long story about what happened after, from his lonely birthday at the apartment, to his kidnapping, to various people attacking him, and all the way to each and every member of his family coming to his aid. He told them about his birthday party aboard The Minerva, the gifts he had received, and right up to the battle with the 13th Angel using the Super Impulse Gundam that his grandmother Washu had created.
That naturally got everyone's attention, that his child-like woman, who looked nearly as young as Sasami and Ruri, was actually Shinji's 'grandmother'.
Ritsuko eventually came back with a puzzled look on her face.
"Well?" Gendo asked the faux-blond scientist.
"It's... I don't know how it's possible." Ritsuko said.
"What is it?" Misato asked.
"Shinji's DNA test... indicate's that he isn't the Commander's son."
"WHAT?" the NERV group gasped.
"Did you do the test accurately?" Misato said.
"I do these things every day, Misato! I'm sure I did it right!" Ritsuko snapped.
"Then... how did they change his DNA? That's impossible."
The pill! Shinji suddenly thought. The pill that father gave that made me stronger. It must have changed more than just my physique. But my DNA as well? Shinji then started laughing.
"Why are you laughing, boy?" Gendo asked.
"If you knew why, then you would too, you jerk." he chuckled.
"Why you little brat!" Gendo said as he pulled out his own handgun within his jacket.
He froze as he felt the barrel of a large gun pressed against the back of his head, the hammer click echoing through the extensive bridge.
"Keep talking, Gendo. Give me a reason to rip your head off and spit down your neck, and I assure you that you will be alive long enough to watch before you die!" Alucard said as he snatched the gun from Gendo's hand.
"Who are you?" Gendo asked, trying not to be afraid of the man who sent a chill down is spine.
"My name is Alucard. I'm Shinji's father." he said with a wide smile, revealing his long teeth.
Misato was the first to notice how odd the man's teeth were. The first thing she thought was that it made him look like a vampire.
"As of right now, Shinji Ikari is no longer bound to NERV, in any way, shape or form." Alucard said.
"Including name." Washu said.
"What?" Misato asked.
"Oh, we didn't tell you?" Washu giggled. "I hacked your Magi and changed your name." she said to Gendo.
"You HACKED the Magi?" Ritsuko gasped. "That's impossible!"
"Not really. Your system is powerful, but pretty antique if anything. It was more difficult than I thought actually." Washu grinned, as she held up her IPod, the one with the wireless transmitter.
"Wait! You changed my name?" Gendo asked, wondering why she was singling him out.
"Check for yourself." the spiky redhead said.
Shigeru quickly accessed the personnel files and brought up the commander's file on the large main screen. However they found that Gendo 'Ikari' didn't exist. The only reference was to a Gendo 'Rokobungi'.
"You changed my name?" Gendo gasped.
"You are not worthy to bear the Ikari title." Kambei said to the man.
"And the hard files?" Aika asked.
"All here." Sarutobi said, holding up the files. "We managed to change them as well."
"And an official memo was sent to the UN regarding this." Washu said.
"So there's nothing tying Shinji to NERV anymore." Motoko said.
"Actually, there is one thing keeping Shinji here." Serenity said.
"What is that?" Serena asked.
"Couldn't be loyalty." Sango said.
"Or love." Ranko said.
"Actually, it is love." Serenity said.
"What?" the redheaded girl asked.
"Shinji-kun, please come with me to the Eva cages."
"You will not..." Gendo started to say, only to have Alucard grab him by the back of his head and slam it into the console before lifting him into the air with one hand.
"Don't you know it's rude to interfere with a lady when she's with her son?" the vampire asked.
Realizing where they were going, Shinji turned to his younger sister and cousin. "Sasami-chan, Ruri-chan, please stay here." Shinji said.
"Huh? Why, big brother?" Sasami asked.
"Eva is not something I want you to see." Shinji said as he turned to his bodyguards. "Take care of them." The quartet nodded and surrounded the pair. Shinji then took Tora out of his backpack. "You too, Tora. Protect my little sisters."
"Meow!" the tiger cub cried as he was set on the floor, scampering over to the pair.
Misato and the other NERV employees were a little shocked that a baby tiger seemed to obey Shinji so readily.
HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Shinji and Serenity made their way down to the Eva cages, with Ranko, Serena and Sango in tow. The rest of Shinji's family had remained to keep and eye on the NERV crew and protect their family, but they kept an eye on the quintet via the video monitors.
The second they saw the giant, purple robot, they balked.
"Ugh! It's ugly!" Ranko said.
"Yeah!" Serena gasped.
"I can sense her." Serenity said.
"Her? Her who?" Shinji asked.
"Yui Ikari."
"My mother? My mother... is inside the Eva?" Shinji gasped.
"Yes."
"But... how?"
"I see now." she said, holding up the glowing crystal. "Yui Ikari was absorbed into Eva 01 during it's first activation test ten years ago. It's was her soul that caused the Eva to go berserk when the Third Angel injured you. And it was her soul that protected you when you were inside the 12th Angel. She has always been here, protecting her son, like a true mother."
"Can we... can we do... anything for her?"
Serenity thought about that.
"Yes. There is one way."
Before the others could ask, Serenity raised the Silver Imperium Crystal up before her and Unit 01. The crystal glowed brightly, washing over the giant purple Eva and causing it to glow as well. The center of it's chest glowed brighter as something that looked like a human being was pulled from the purple giant. The human form floated over towards Serenity and suddenly flowed into Serenity's body through her chest. The glow stopped as the four children ran to their mother.
"Mother?" Shinji asked first.
"Yes." the woman replied, opening her eyes to look at her son.
"But... which one are you?"
"I am... me." she replied.
"I don't understand."
"Yui Ikari's body was no more. Her soul was all that remained. Her love... for her son. By using the Silver Imperium Crystal... I have merged the two of us." she explained.
"Merged? But how? Who are you, Yui Ikari, or Serenity Ikari?" he asked.
"I am both. I am Yui Serenity Ikari." she said, smiling brightly that smile he remembered Serenity giving him, and staring at him with those loving eyes that Shinji recalled from his childhood.
"..mother..." the boy started to cry as he buried his face in her chest, the woman's arms wrapping around the boy to hold him tightly.
"I've missed you so much, my son." she said.
HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Once hugs had been exchanged between mother and daughters, the group headed back up to the command bridge, where a shocked Gendo Rokobungi, more shocked than everyone else, stared.
Alucard hefted Gendo up and dropped down to the main floor where everyone else was. He released the grim commander, who stared at Yui Serenity Ikari. The woman grimaced as she noticed him.
"You bastard." she spat.
"Yui?" he gasped.
"Yes, Gendo. But I am no longer your precious Yui. My soul has merged with Serenity's. We are one."
"No."
"Everything that is Yui is now also Serenity."
"No. NO! This cannot be! Damn You! Give Me Back My Wife!!" he shouted as he lunged at the woman.
Shinji reacted immediately, putting himself between his mother and former father. He threw out his foot and nailed the man in the chest, sending back against the wall.
"What?" he gasped.
"Surprised, Rokobungi?" Alucard grinned.
Ignoring the vampire, Gendo glared at the boy, still not realizing the extra muscle he had gained.
"You pathetic little punk. I'm going to learn you your place!"
Gendo lashed out at Shinji, only to have his fist caught easily by the boy he once considered weak.
"What?" he gasped.
"Surprised? A little gift from my father, Alucard." Shinji said as he squeezed Gendo's fist, crushing the flesh and bones.
"ARRRRRGGGGHHHHH!!" the commander cried out, his knees buckling and dropping him to the floor.
"You whine like a little girl." Alucard said as they watched the scene.
Shinji released Gendo's fist, only to have the commander lash out with his other fist, striking Shinji in the stomach.
However, Shinji didn't flinch, only grinned as Gendo pulled back his second now-injured hand.
"Ah. Ah. Ah." he whined.
"To think... I once feared you." Shinji said as he and his family gathered together apart from the NERV crew.
"Understand this," Alucard said to Misato and the others. "The Ikari Family does not want any part of NERV's war against the Angels. However, it is at the request of Shinji that we try to help you. Because of this, it would benefit you to get rid of the Angel you have locked up in Terminal Dogma. Which is the real reason the Angels are coming to Tokyo-3 over all other places in the world."
The NERV crew gasped at what they were being told.
"I'll show you." Washu said, pointing her IPod at the computer terminal and pressing a button. In a second an image of a large white being impaled on a gigantic cross, it's body dripping what looked like LCL into a large lake, appeared on the screen.
"It would be in your best interest to get rid of that thing, if you want to survive the next Angel attack. As to your methods of dealing with the commander, we'll leave that to you." Alucard said.
"Washu?" Yui Serenity said.
Washu pressed a button on her belt, the entire family suddenly surrounded by a white light that blinded everyone in NERV. Within a second, the family had vanished, teleported out before anyone knew what had happened.
"So... that was Shinji's new family." Fuyutsuki said, not bothering to help his former pupil off the ground.
"Yeah." Misato said, now glaring daggers at Ritsuko for some reason. In her mind, Ritsuko was too invested into NERV to not know what was going on. So she had to be part of this whole thing. "And he got them right after making a simple birthday wish."
HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Author's Notes:
It's been a while since I updated this story, but I think it's pretty good.
Misato and NERV finally get to meet Shinji's new family, as well as get the shock of their lives in slowly realizing that they have been pawns in Gendo's mad plans.
Asuka, Toji and Kensuke get owned.
Shinji beats down Gendo.
Shinji is reunited with his mother, actually getting two mothers in one package.
Shinji's new family screws with NERV, in every sense, all in one day.
Also, I didn't put Kaji in this simply because I didn't want to. I could have had him there, trying to flirt with Aika and Serenity, which would have got him sliced up by Kambei, punched through a wall by Motoko, impaled repeatedly but not killed by Sarutobi, or had his brained scrambled by Alucard. Technically he isn't the real problem, Gendo was. So I just chose to omit him for now.
Hope everyone liked this update and will give me a good review.
HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
OMAKE!
Gendo was sitting in his office watching as Major Katsuragi and Dr Akagi gave the five-person envoy their tour.
Beautiful woman. He thought of Serenity. I'll have to figure out how I can gain possession of her to use her for my own purposes.
Suddenly, the entire room seemed glow, changing colors from black to red. The walls, the floors, the ceiling, everything. This was slightly curious to him, as the woman he had been staring at on the monitor entered his field of vision.
"You are Gendo, are you not?" Serenity asked.
"I am. How did you get in here? Why are you not with the tour?"
"Because... I wanted to eat you."
"You mean... 'meet' me."
"No." Serenity said with a sudden sadistic smile. "I mean... EAT you!" she said as her beautiful and elegant form suddenly transformed.
Her long silvery hair waved about and transformed into hundreds of snake-like creatures. His pale and perfect skin turned into greenish scales. Her soft blue eyes changed into blood red spheres. Her body rose up, revealing the lower half of her body to be that of a snake.
Gendo gasped as Serenity lunged forward and grabbed him, lifting him up and slamming him down hard on the table. Her mouth, now filled with rows of razor-sharp teeth, opened to an inhuman width and came down hard, painfully digging into Gendo's face.
"AAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!" Gendo gasped, jumping back in his chair and falling to the ground.
He looked around, in panic, and noticed that nothing was wrong. His office was the same large and dark room it was before. The walls, ceiling and floor were not red. There was no beautiful woman turning into a Medusa-like monster and trying to eat him.
I... fell asleep? I've never done that before. Odd. He thought as he straightened his jacket and wiped the sweat from his brow.
Behind him, a grinning man in a blood-red coat and hat watched from the shadows.
Now then... what other illusion can I conjure? Maybe a giant preying mantis? Or a zombie? Or a horde of zombies? Maybe a werewolf to tear him apart? Alucard thought as he kept a close eye on the grim commander.
