What We Make Of It
Chapter 10- A Meeting at Sea
-or-
It's not the love boat
Gendo hated a lot of things in life. Well Gendo hated just about everything in life. Aside from the ability to be an asshole and piss off the human race, he DID hate everything. But on his list of things he'd rather have Kozo do, which was very long by now, the annual stockholder meeting was one chore he couldn't pass off.
Yes Nerv had become a multinational corporation to make up for its inability to generate cash. Had Gendo known of Misato's web-page he'd have used his son to generate funds, but being the father he was, none at all, he didn't know his son's ability to draw in a female crowd. So sitting in a room filled with people he'd promised the same thing to, that again being his son's hand in marriage, he really wasn't looking forward to today's lecture.
Taking his seat at the head of the table and adjusting his glasses, as he felt necessary, "Would you all kindly take your seats and be quiet?" Oh that's another thing Gendo hated, acting nice to those same stockholders. "We'll get this meeting started."
The assembled men, and two ladies, sat around the table and glared at Gendo. They had been promised a suitable husband for their daughters, or in the two ladies case themselves, but Gendo kept postponing the arrangement.
The first of the men to speak was the leader of the Sakuraba kimono outlet. As the third highest stockholder, Gendo personally promised the Sakuraba group a male to marry his daughter Aoi. 'I was so happy about this I even paid that manga author to make a story about it. Damn freak took to many liberties with it, but still I want my lovely Aoi wed!' the old man cried to himself as he cleared his throat gaining Gendo's attention. Not wanting the other stockholders to think him odd for requesting a husband in exchange for his money he covered, "Gendo before we start I want you to tell me when I'll get my end of out deal."
Soun Tendo, having one daughter married, had hopes of adding a second more stable coupling to his family. 'Nabiki would do well with this man as a husband,' he thought as his face looked on casually. "Yes Gendo, you've made me a promise that I'd like fulfilled soon as well."
'Shit it's going to be like this is it,' Gendo winced inwardly. Looking around at the other men as they all nodded and added their useless two-cents, in Gendo's opinion, to the debate. All of the men Gendo could manipulate easily. 'Tell Sakuraba his daughter is still to fat. Tell Soun he needs prove himself in a tournament, but those two…' Gendo's eyes wafted to the two women that were, next to him, the largest shareholders of Nerv.
Both women had red hair, one kept it short but hidden under a black leather hat, and the others was pinker and she wore hers longer while her face was adorned with a pair of glasses with large lenses. Wearing a large red cape, that the other men thought was odd but didn't say anything, the long haired girl spoke in a demure voice, "Gendo, we've waited long enough for what you said would be ours. We want it now, and were ready to sell all of our stock if you need incentive to move."
'The Misu sisters,' Gendo wanted to cry. Those two girls had him by his recovering privates. 'If they sell all of there stock we'd never be able to function, but how do I tell them Shinji isn't available right now.' By right now Gendo was inferring to the two teams he had working. Team 'Liberation' was a group of lawyers assaulting the marriage proposal for loopholes. Team 'Vindication' was a group of scientists trying to find a way of getting Yui into the entry plug before she arranged the marriage henceforth screwing her husband over in the future. Neither group was making progress. "Now Tira-san I assure you things are…"
The other sister clicked her tongue and looked evilly at the man in the glasses. "We won't hear any more excuses, Gendo-chan." Pulling her hat down further shrouding her eyes, Chocolate was through playing around with the man. "We played along long enough. Its time for you to deliver."
The Misu sisters reasoning for wanting their prize was simple. Shinji's heritage on his mother's side was one of great historical importance. The Ikari lineage had been a long line of powerful mystics, samurai, and shamans. That and each male Ikari was said to posses a certain 'prowess' for things the Misu sisters had a liking for. Had Gendo ever given a damn about his wife's history he'd have known, but being the neglecting idiot he was, he never attending Yui's family gatherings.
Soon the meeting degenerated into an all out screaming match of men demanding Gendo fulfill his end of his promise. Gendo laughed inwardly at the irony that everybody there wanted the same thing but didn't know it. 'I'm so screwed I could be my own father.' Slamming his gavel against the desk. "Order everybody I'll get to that issue after we talk about the coloring of Unit-02, it can't be black for some reason."
Before the group could bicker and complain, as people who don't really know what's going on tend to do, the door opened. Walking in the room with a plate of crackers and a kettle of tea, Washu smiled wickedly at the group. Still in her child form, Washu had heard the whole debate, and after some hacking had learned of Gendo's manipulating of the board of directors. "Grandpa I brought the tea as you asked."
"Grandpa! Who the devil is the child Ikari? How can you be a grandfather if you only have one son!?" The men started yelling over the top of each other, the Misu sisters just glared at Gendo as each checked for their weaponry. 'We'll have to talk to him after the meeting.'
As Washu smiled devilishly at her created havoc, Gendo tried to tell the others that she was just one of his co-workers children and had taken to calling him that as a joke. Nobody found it funny or believable.
(I do think Washu would do that, don't you?)
Flying towards the Pacific fleet and their mission objective, Misato had the urge to scream bloody murder. Her plan for a nice relaxing, if not romantic, trip with Shinji had been ruined almost at the start. Shinji's company was one boy he was friends with what appeared to be a drooling problem, Sasami who refused all manner of bribes to abstain from coming, and Kos-Mos who claimed she was ordered by Fuyutsuki to go as a guardian.
'Kami-sama why do you hate me so much?' Misato thought as she peered over he shoulder back into the passenger cabin. Touji sat behind her seat and was ogling Kos-Mos who was seated on Shinji's right clasping his arm in hers, 'Afraid of flying my ass, I've seen that damn 'girl' fly on her own!' And on Shinji's left with her head on his shoulder in mock sleep was Sasami. "How are you kids doing back there?"
Having just met Misato that day, Touji wanted to pound Shinji into the dirt for not inviting him over to meet her sooner. "I'm doing great Misato-san! How are you doing on this lovely trip?" Touji attempted to twist his head three hundred and sixty degrees to see Misato, but as he couldn't he just sprained his neck.
Pulling tighter on Shinji, Kos-Mos turned from the window to face the older woman. "I am fine, but Shinji seems to have lost weight since I've last seen him. Have you been neglecting to care for him?" Honestly Kos-Mos was on cloud nine. She hadn't been with her master in days and it was killing her. 'But now I get to spend a good deal of time with him…and I'll repay him for his kindness.'
"I'm fine Kos-Mos-san, I've just been exercising more than usual so I've lost a bit of fat," Shinji said to calm Kos-Mos. Looking at Kos-Mos Shinji's internal feeling of shame kicked in again. 'She's terrified of being up here! She's clinging so tightly and its my fault that she's here.' Looking up at Misato, and trying not to worry about the growing coldness in his fingers, "Are we almost there Misato?"
'Why couldn't it just be him and me?' Misato wanted to know as she informed the three noticeably awake passengers that they'd be arriving within the next fifteen minutes. The forth passenger, Sasami, was content to snuggle against her now confirmed loving to-be husband. Their talking the previous day about each other completely swept Sasami's heart into Shinji's hand. 'He's suffered so much, yet he's still so nice. Washu thank you so much!'
Touji looked out his window to see an old fleet of battleships. "That's our destination?" His voice was clearly showing disappointment. 'Bet Kensuke would like it but he lost the coin toss.' As both boys wanted to go with Shinji and make some estimates on where to start the betting pool figures at, Touji and Kensuke opted to use a coin toss to see who got the last available seat on the helicopter.
Shinji however was more inclined to like the vision. "Wow there is so many of them!" While not having Kensuke's obsession for military craft, Shinji was still impressed by the sheer volume of ships sent to escort the latest Evangelion and its pilot.
Tempted to 'wake up' from her nap to see the fleet Shinji sounded so excited about, Sasami chose not to and to further bury her body against his. Kos-Mos noticed this act and, "Jurai-kun, I believe you're making a fool of yourself."
Blushing softly, Sasami's eyes opened and she sat up straight. Giving a fake stretch, all to give Shinji a little show, Sasami lightly rapped herself on the head. "Sorry, but the ride was so smooth fell asleep Shinji-sama."
Mentally Touji was doing his best to take Kensuke's instructions into mind. He failed, as he looked at Kos-Mos fold her hands under her bust that's when thinking officially stopped for Touji. 'This trip is going to be great! Hope the new pilot is a girl too.' With that thought the helicopter started its final decent.
(Gee wonder if the new pilot is a girl?)
As she readied the syringe Ritsuko looked at her unknowing test subject. "So you've been spending time with Maya lately?" Knowing full well that the subject had been, and it irked Ritsuko to no end as it was something she wished to do. 'Well just gives me more reason to do this.'
Sitting at full attention, Rei was looking at the needle with a tiny bit of fear. Sliding her latest manga under the pillow provided. "Yes, Ibuki-san has been most informative and helpful to me as of late." Rei's voice now had lost the sheer power it had before when she was under the influence of Slayers. Now it was soft yet confident mixed with a bit of bashful playfulness.
'What the hell has she gotten into this time,' Ritsuko thought as she rolled her eyes. Squirting a little liquid out of the syringe to insure no oxygen was present, Ritsuko turned back to Rei. "Hold out your arm," after Rei had done so, "so what do you and Maya talk about?"
Having guessed by Maya's talks about her 'Ritsuko Senpai' that said doctor had a thing for the young tech, Rei smiled inwardly. Having adapted to Teletha "Tessa" Testarossa from her latest read, Rei was not only willing, but also happy to make a little havoc in the lives of others to further her goal. "She lent me some new manga and anime to watch for my goal of reminding Shinji to whom he should belong."
Noting the tiny smirk on Rei's face a tiny fear blossomed in Ritsuko's chest. Did Maya tell Rei something that was best left unknown? "Well that was nice of her. Did you do anything else?" Softly poking the tip of the needle into Rei's forearm and injecting the girl with the chemical, Ritsuko hoped the answer was no.
The smile widening Rei answered, "She lent me some odd books about pleasing your lover. Do you know where she got those books Akagi-san?" Rei's tone all but shouted out that she knew exactly where the books had originated and their purpose. 'Serves her right for making me stay behind to do some stupid tests when I could be with Shinji.'
Avoiding eye contact by looking wildly around the room, Ritsuko was at a loss for words. "I wouldn't really know what Maya would be doing with books like that. She doesn't have a boyfriend from what I could tell." Heading back to her desk, Ritsuko threw the empty syringe away in the trash. Hoping to derail the current topic of conversation, "Are you feeling the affects of the feline adaptively serum Rei?"
Before Rei could answer warmth spread from her arm throughout her body. Heat permeated her whole body. It wasn't a painful heat but a soothing calming heat. Rei could hear and see things so much clearer now. That could have been, if she could see herself, from her new set of ears and the alterations to her pupils. "I think I felt something Akagi-san nya."
Ritsuko looked at Rei, looked harder, put some droplets in her eyes and looked again. 'SHIT! It gave her cat ears and her eyes! Her…her' Ritsuko's eyes caught sight of Rei's hands as the blue haired girl noticed them too, 'her nails too! Oh hell.' Not only did the serum give the added benefits of increased sight, hearing, and reflexes it augmented Rei's body. "Damn I guess I had to much feline DNA in that one."
Flexing her fingers and the claws they now possessed Rei's eyes darted over to Ritsuko, who looked oddly like a mouse to her now. Liking her chops and furrowing her eyebrows, "I think its time I test these out."
Ritsuko ran for her life out of her office and into the hallways screaming. 'I knew I should have asked Washu for help first!' The other personnel just saw Ritsuko running and Rei on all fours keeping up with her, just your normal day in the bowels of the most secret and well-known organization on the planet.
(So Rei's a cat girl right now…you weren't expecting that to happen?)
Having his hat blown off his head and his frantic chase after it wasn't what Touji really wanted to do. Touji wanted to impress both of the older women that Shinji had with him, Sasami as well, but he figured Sasami was already smitten with Shinji. "Come back here!" the jock yelled at the inanimate object that was his hat.
Following at a leisurely pace behind the boy, Misato wanted to push him off the deck due to the embarrassment. Kos-Mos wanted to grab Shinji and run, Sasami just clenched Shinji's hand, and Shinji…Shinji was confused. "Touji maybe you shouldn't be running like that," the smaller boy said as he saw a figure in Touji's path.
Touji's frantic dash came to an abrupt halt as his hat burst into flames. Trying to stop his forward momentum and succeeding only in falling down, Touji was lucky he didn't wet himself. "What the hell was that?" he tried to say when all that came out was a screech.
Before the boy, and the now assembled others, stood a girl of what appeared fourteen years of age. Still dressed in her cape and cowl, but dawning a flowing black dress in exchange for the suit of living flame, Asuka shrugged her shoulders. "Was that hat yours? It was ugly anyway."
"Bitch! What the hell did you do to my special hat?" Touji fumed as he got up to his feat. Marching the remaining distance to the as of yet unknown Princess of Hell, Touji was the closest person when a sudden breeze revealed Asuka's taste in human undergarments, that being black silk.
True to form, Asuka slapped Touji across the face, "Hentai! What are you doing looking at my panties?" Walking over towards Shinji, Asuka went to do the same to him only to have her slapping hand caught by Kos-Mos. "And what are you doing preventing me from distributing punishment?" Asuka flared.
Kos-Mos just pointed towards Sasami whose hand was covering Shinji's eyes. "He didn't see your unique taste in apparel." Kos-Mos's words were as cold and hard as some of the metal that made her form. 'Nobody touches my master like that while I'm around.'
"So you're the Second Child?" Misato asked as the sudden dread started to take its usual place whenever Shinji met a new girl. 'What is with all these freaks showing up! Angels, robots, whatever the hell Sasami is, and now this goth freak?' Extending her hand to Asuka, "I'm Misato Katsuragi I'll be your commanding officer."
Shaking Misato's hand with the strength Misato had only felt in grown men, Asuka smiled. "Pleasure to meet you I'm Asuka Langley Souryu. So which of these…people" Asuka could tell by sensing their auras that only the boys and Misato were human, "is the Third Child?" She was begging her father at this point to make sure it wasn't the boy who was now getting to his feat. 'That pig wouldn't make a fitting servant to rule this planet with me.'
Sasami lowered her hand as Shinji spoke. "That would be me Asuka-san, pleasure to meet you as well," taking his place below others on the respect meter as usual, Shinji bowed low to the new pilot, much to Asuka's joy and displeasure of the other women. Standing up right Shinji tried to emulate what he saw Asuka do, believing it was expected of him. He extended his hand to shake hers.
'He's not to bad on the eyes, seems a bit meek though.' Asuka's eyes surveyed Shinji as she shook his hand. Probing into his soul she hit something, something hard. 'He…he's got so much inner power! This boy could truly help me rule this planet, as well as kill those pesky angels!' Asuka's roving eyes didn't go over blindly to Sasami, who coughed softly to break Asuka of her canvassing of Shinji's body. "Seem a little dull but we can work on that."
Doing his best to insure everybody thought he was totally stupid, Touji promptly walked over to Asuka. "What the hell did you hit me for?" His opinion of the red head ruined forever by his accident-prone nature, and inability to learn from mistakes.
Asuka turned to face the annoying boy, "That little love tap was payment for the view. It's quite the bargain." Asuka flaunted as she set her palm to her waist and her cape blew in the wind.
Grabbing the sides of his button up jeans, Touji tore off said clothing. "You want a view! Here's a GOOD view." Pulling this boxers down and freeing the beast within, Sasami gasped and quickly turned away, Kos-Mos shook her head in disgust, while Shinji offered a prayer to whatever deity was listening. Misato just thought to herself, 'That proves Shinji's father had something done to him…hardly anything there on that boy.'
Giving the group their first taste of her powers, Asuka's eyes turned red and flame shot out of them. "You pervert!" the Hellion said as she recoiled her fist and let loose her fury squarely into Touji's stomach. The force of the blow not only took Touji off his feat but sent him fifty yards down the flight deck and into the net used to catch planes.
"What the hell was that?" Misato and Kos-Mos said unable to restrain themselves after the show of sheer power a young delicate woman shouldn't have.
Smiling widely as she turned back to the wide-eyed audience, Asuka took note of Shinji, her eyes hazing over as Shinji's eyes bore into hers. "What else do you expect from the Princess of Hell?"
Sasami took that as her queue to faint into Shinji's arms, which she did. Having seen angels already, Shinji hadn't been as surprised. Misato's wanting to weep increased dramatically. 'She's a demon! A DEMON! Why can't we have another normal pilot!'
(So that was Asuka's introduction. I think it went rather well.)
'Wow that girl just sent the Suzuhara boy flying,' Shion thought as she ate another handful of popcorn. With Shinji and Kos-Mos gone, Shion's 'to-do' list was very small. Kos-Mos's ulterior reason for going with Shinji was to find some fodder for the replacement of Misato as his guardian.
Hearing her door open and the short red haired genius from outside of time walking in, Shion altered her attention. "Washu-chan," Shion knew better than to not call her that, "What brings you to my office?" Hoping it wasn't to join her in watching over Kos-Mos, Shion smiled softly.
With her trademark evil grin proudly on her face, the dainty goddess jumped onto one of Shion's extra chairs. "Having fun watching your hopeful husband?" Washu could read Shion like a book, that and the reflection from Shion's glasses gave a great view of the computer screen.
"I don't know what your talking about Washu-chan, I'm just making sure that Kos-Mos's audio/visual connections are functional." It was a good lie, Shion had to tell herself that. Seeing how Washu wasn't buying it however, Shion changed her tune. "Why are you here?"
Finding her welcome not so warm anymore, Washu stopped playing. "I want to know where Sasami's fiancé lives." Loving the look of anger sprout on Shion's face after declaring Sasami as Shinji's owner, Washu wanted to laugh. "I want to drop off the wedding present to them before they get back from their trip."
With her palm to her cheek Shion shook her head in a fake quandary. "I don't know Washu-chan. From what I heard the Commander saying, the girl was to be executed on her return if she didn't disavow the whole thing." Turning back to the screen Shion just saw a mass of people slammed close together. 'Must be a small elevator…is that Kos-Mos's hand…is she! SHE IS!"
"Shion are you ok? Your nose is bleeding. Shion?" Washu called out to Shion who suddenly went red and started hemorrhaging from her nose. Unable to discern the image from Shion's glasses anymore, Washu watched as Shion dabbed her nose with a tissue. "So are you going to tell me?"
Wanting very much to have some private time, Shion wrote down the Katsuragi apartment's location and ushered Washu out of her office. 'Guess Shion has other business to attend to,' Washu thought jovially. 'Now to get Aisha over there and to link our apartments together.' Sasami was going to live with her until she got married, it would look bad for the future leader of the known universe to live with her husband before marriage.
(Can't keep a good scientist down. But which scientist the semi-human or the goddess?)
Looking around the small cafeteria Shinji wondered who the semi-shaved guy was. 'He seems to know Misato.' Shinji didn't doubt that Kaji had known Misato, he expected such a beautiful woman to have a boyfriend after all. "How do you know my name Kaji-san?"
Looking around the table, Kaji really didn't know what to expect. One boy seemed to have his mouth wired shut. Misato was fawning over the other boy, who didn't seem to notice. And two other girls that didn't work for Nerv were there. 'I'm getting out of touch if I can't follow all this,' Kaji thought with some bitterness. "Well Shinji-kun you're very famous in this business. The boy who piloted with no training and killed three angels."
Nervously looking at Kos-Mos, who hadn't taken her eyes off him since the elevator incident, where she said she thought it was the break lever. "Honestly Kaji-san Kos-Mos killed the second angel." Shinji still hadn't apologized to Kos-Mos and wished to be alone with her to do so he didn't want to embarrass her.
Kaji, taking Kos-Mos into view, was terrified of what Shinji said. 'If that's true that machine is one of the most powerful being on earth.' Hearing Asuka say something about it not being that impressive reminded him of the pact he made with the girl.
Seeing Kaji for the first time in years brought many bad memories back to the surface in Misato's mind. Watching a young girl, or young demoness it seemed fawning over him didn't do much to help her mood. "So Kaji have a thing for young girls now do you?"
Diverting her attention from her attempts to scan the unearthly girls' minds, Asuka spoke before Kaji could. "Kaji sold his soul to me for information about some dirty old men. He's my foot stool." With a degree of happiness, Asuka could feel Misato's joy increase with that comment. 'She's evil too, we can be friends.'
"Yeah her servant," Kaji muttered under his breath. He hadn't believed Asuka's claim when she presented it to him. Maybe the flaming pen HAD been a good clue but he wasn't ready to believe it, now he was sans-soul. But Kaji couldn't let Misato get the last laugh so, "So Shinji-kun is Misato still wild in bed?"
All color drained from Misato's face. 'SHIT! I have been sleeping in his futon and that is probably against regulations!' Kos-Mos had her proof and back in Tokyo-3, Shion was preparing to copy the response for her use against Misato in her case to claim Shinji as hers.
With a hint of red in his cheeks, Shinji didn't want to admit that it was his fault Misato's room was ruined. He was responsible for Kos-Mos after all. "She moves around a lot in her sleep, but I think its because she's not used to the change in rooms."
Kaji's face drained of color then. 'WHAT! She IS sleeping in his bed! That was a joke!' Looking at the guilty look in Misato's face, Kaji felt betrayed. Sure they hadn't been a couple in a long time, and it was his fault they broke up, but like every man he expected Misato to wait forever for him to come back. "So why did she change rooms? Hers get destroyed or something?"
Speaking up for fiancé, Sasami said, "So that's what you meant when you said Misato-san and Kos-Mos's fight was responsible for the destruction in the apartment!" Sasami was relieved to know the full accounting now. It wasn't proper for the servants to sleep with the master. Kos-Mos didn't care they could edit the file for their purposes, which was what Shion was doing at that very moment.
Touji was unconscious the thought of sleeping in the same room with Misato was too much for him to take in. Twin trails of blood leaked from his nose as he lay on the cold floor oddly nobody noticed this. As the uncomfortable silence kicked in, Shinji believing it was his comments that caused it tried to kick-start the talks again. "So Asuka, you're Eva is here as well?"
Glad to be the focus of the talk, Asuka beamed, "Yes, but its not like I need one to kill angels. I could do it with my bare hands, unlike you humans." Looking leveling into Shinji's eyes, Asuka was enraptured by the cooling blue of them. Blue as you can imagine is a hard color to come by in hell. "I could it to you though."
Acting before the others could react, Asuka's hand gripped Shinji's wrist and she was off. Flying from their current battleship to the carrier of Asuka's vehicle of ungodly might.
(Why doesn't anybody notice Touji?)
"I didn't know it was going to be red," Shinji said as he was dropped unceremoniously in front of Unit-02. Now most humans would have been upset at being dropped on their backs, but Shinji took it as standard. "Asuka?"
Ending her flight by landing on the Unit's head, Asuka's hand swept the length of the behemoth. "Can you believe they wanted it black? Red is such a better color, don't you agree?"
Shinji had to admit, Unit-02 looked very good in red. "It's a very good color scheme Asuka-san." A sudden tremor sent the boy tumbling to his knees. "What was that?"
Her demonic senses tingling, Asuka knew what it was. "An angel! I finally get to kill an angel!" Her whole life Asuka had anticipated this moment. Her triumphant battle against the tiny winged humanoids. 'Why the humans made such big contraptions for tiny angels I don't know.'
His sense of duty taking over his mind, "Asuka are you sure its an angel?" Looking around Shinji didn't know what they should do. He didn't have a plug suit and the Eva was technically Asuka's after all. "Should we get ready to fight it?"
Sensing the power level of her opponent was far greater than she anticipated, Asuka changed her plan. "This is a test to see if you're worthy of being my vassal, get in that thing." Asuka couldn't very well tell the human she was a little intimidated by the creature.
"But we need plug suits." Shinji informed the demoness as she jumped down next to him. He didn't question why Asuka suddenly changed her tone about what she was going to do.
Remembering that the Nerv-Germany people said about plug suits, Asuka blinked and to Shinji's stunned eyes she was donning a red form fitting plug suit. "There, I'm ready what about you?" Asuka said as she commanded the Eva to eject the entry plug.
"If your worried about your cloths just go naked," Asuka said offhandedly. Demons didn't wear cloths so Asuka didn't think anything of it. Now female demons did so that was why she got upset, that and her partially human heritage. Seeing how Shinji blushed and looked at his feet, "Fine here," materializing another plug suit like her own she tossed it to Shinji, "now hurry."
Rushing to the hallway, Shinji quickly shed his clothing and donned the female plug suit. 'I know this is going to hurt…but I have to do it.' Pushing the pressurization button, Shinji felt the material restrict, and restrict it did. From the entry plug of the Eva, and back on the previous ship, everybody heard Shinji's pain filled howl.
(You ever try shrink wrapping that thing? No didn't think so.)
As the pain subsided and he eased himself a safe distance from Asuka, he saw the girl powering up the Evangelion. 'Wonder how much about this she knows,' the boy wondered. The answer was not that much.
'Maybe I should tell him this is part of the test to,' Asuka thought before she opted to just steal the information from his brain. Shinji felt a tiny push on his mind for a second, and then Asuka really started working. "You ready to show me your worth boy?"
Believing he had no such thing as 'worth,' Shinji just nodded. "I'll do my best." Even though he said that, Asuka didn't do anything else. They sat there as another tremor rocked the boat. "Asuka-san?"
"Well I'm waiting, do what it is you do in this thing!" Asuka commanded ignoring Shinji's question. You couldn't expect her to actually tell Shinji that she still didn't fully understand how to pilot the device. Taking orders from Asuka, Shinji timidly gripped the controls from around Asuka's body.
In the waters surrounding the boat, Gaghiel was having a lovely bath. He didn't have bath toys in a long time and now he had toy boats to play with. While he loved watching them move about the bath water, he really loved watching them sink. So he sank another and watched the tiny dots jump off it and try to get back to the surface. Sensing somebody had intruded on his bath, an older lady, he was a little miffed. 'I want privacy when I bathe!'
Asuka watched in mild shock as the Angel seemed to be destroying the humans' ships. "Well what are you waiting for? Go kill it."
Not being Aquaman, Shinji had a little problem seeing into the water. "It's coming, brace yourself Asuka-san," Shinji said as mind hardened a little for battle. The command, something she never received before, caused Asuka to feel oddly good.
Jumping at the peeping-tom, Gaghiel lashed out in a big hissy fit. Seeing an Angel for the first time, Asuka knew fear. Cringing backward into Shinji's chest, Asuka was ashamed of her actions. 'Why didn't I study the previous angels to be prepared for this?'
Seeing his opponent flying right at him, Shinji engaged Unit-02's progressive knife and let the vile beast tear itself in half. Gaghiel didn't know that knives, especially electric knives, were really bad things so didn't attempt to avoid it. Impaling itself on the blade and killing itself, Gaghiel went home crying to his mother about the sick perverted lady. Kami-sama said she'd file a complaint
(So I used a modified version of the Manga's battle…)
Triumphantly descending the stairs to the waiting deck, Asuka held her fingers out in a 'V' formation. "Yes I did kick that things ass did I not?" Her ego was further stroked by Misato's congratulations. The others were to busy looking at other pilots decent.
Bursting into a gale of laughter Touji just pointed at Shinji. "Dude you have breasts!" One part of Touji's mind said he'd seen Shinji like that before, but couldn't quite understand why.
Rushing to Shinji's side, Sasami threw her arms around him. "My hero! Shinji are you ok? Did you get hurt? Why are you in drag? Was that your scream?"
Prying Sasami away from her master, Kos-Mos scanned the plug suit. Noticing a wealth of constriction, Kos-Mos blushed. "Shinji-sama I believe you should take that suit off now before you damage yourself."
Seeing her newly appointed vassal being surrounded by others, Asuka pushed away from Kaji who had stared brushing the LCL out of her hair. "What do you think your doing to my vassal?"
"Vassal?" Misato asked as she pressed the button to depressurize Shinji's suit, much to his embarrassment. "What are you talking about Asuka?"
Scooping Shinji up in her arms, Asuka turned to the assembled. "This mortal is mine. His life is mine. He fought that angel to prove himself worthy of being my compatriot." Truly a vassal in hells terms was more attuned to husband, but Asuka didn't know this.
Soon the yelling started, and the fighting, and then Shinji wondered where he clothing was. Nobody said anything about that as the ship entered Tokyo-3 harbor and the dead corpse of the angel filled the market place with fish for the next few years. Shinji's last thought before Asuka leapt off the ships bow with her still in his arms was, 'what in the world is happening now?'
(And that my friends is the end of this Chapter)
Author notes
Yup another chapter done. Hope Asuka fans aren't upset with that little introduction. I'll do my best with this oddity of mine. My only request is that you review Out of Disaster It is nearing its end and I'd really like some feed back on the later chapters.
Rei's manga of the day is Full Metal Panic.
Have a happy holiday season and be merry

And there you go! The updated battle lines have Kos-Mos still beating all contenders but the Harem army has made a massive surge in the assault against the Zohar infused android!
Asuka has pulled one league ahead of Rei and Yui has gotten her SECOND vote! Kos-Mos is now planning on her way of stealing Shinji away from Misato and has good way of doing it. Will she?
Its up to you, the voting influences how I plan on writing this…and yes those are the Misu sisters from Bakuratsu (Sorcerer) Hunters.
On side note, some of you may notices a lot of votes missing from harem, that came from the suddenness and seemingly same person who voted of it. If you're not all the same person I apologize and a simple email to me will get your vote added in correctly (sorry but that's the price I have to pay for allowing anonymous votes )
