Evangelion Next Genesis
Ch. 2: You Can (Most Likely Not) Advance
Act XI: KHAOS! (Yes, we know that title has nothing to do with the story. Shut up.)
"The school trip is in a week!" Asuka cheered, "So exciting!"
"There's... not really much to be excited about," Shinji shrugged, "Trips bore me. They're not my style."
"But you don't even know what the trip is about!" Asuka insisted, "You'd be at LEAST a little curious."
"Well, all I know is that it involves water in some way..." Shinji noted, "So, it'd be unmanly. Not my style, remember?"
"Buzzkill," Asuka groaned.
"Crackhead," Shinji replied.
"HEY!"
One week later...
"The bus," Shinji growled, "It makes me unpleased..."
POP!
"The tire got flat," The teacher groaned, "Good thing we have another."
And so, while the teacher and bus driver were installing the new tire, Shinji wandered off.
"Where'd he go?" Asuka asked.
"Unknown," Rei replied, "Shinji most likely is trying to familiarize himself with his environment at this moment..."
"HEY, GUYS!" Shinji shouted, "CHECK OUT MY NEW PET OLD MAN!"
"You do realize I was taking a hike, right?" Fuyutsuki asked.
"Looks like the commander's assistant, doesn't he?" Shinji raised an eyebrow.
"I AM," Fuyutsuki added.
"I think I'll call him Coco," Shinji smirked, "Suits him."
"I have a name," Fuyutsuki replied, "And I'm not your pet. I'm only accompanying you because I got lost and-"
"We're here," The teacher deadpanned.
"Oh, good," Shinji looked out the window, "What is this, the bottled water factory or something?"
Then he saw it.
"HOLY CRUD!" Shinji screamed, "A HOT SPRING! A variable smorgasbord of everything a man truly desires and craves! A building with one sole purpose..."
Later, in the hot spring...
"Wow, how relaxing," Aida smiled at the feeling on his skin.
"Yeah," Touji smiled, "So good..."
"NO FAIR! YOU PUT UP A WALL TOO HIGH TO SEE ANYTHING!" Shinji roared, "There are just some things I have to see!"
"Shinji, would you ever be quiet?" Touji asked.
"Not until my heart's desire has been quenched!" Shinji replied, trying desperately to climb the wall. He fell off, then tried again. He fell off a second time, and then tried again. "This is tougher then I thought..."
"What are you trying to see?" Kensuke asked.
"What a girl looks like underneath all that clothing," Shinji replied, "I hear EVERY guy wants to see that."
"FREAKIN' RIGHT!" Kensuke and Touji replied.
"Excellent!" Shinji smirked, "So, we will work with each other to achieve a common goal for all men! Passing forth a gate to maturity and manhood!"
"Yayz!" Kensuke cheered.
"Yeah, but how are we gonna get to that goal?" Touji asked.
"Simple..." Shinji smirked, holding a disposable camera, "If I can guess right, the wall is the combined height of all of us. So, if we stand on each other's shoulders, one of us can see the girls, and use this camera to capture the shot."
"Alright," Touji gave a thumbs up.
And so, Kensuke stood on Touji's shoulders, and Shinji stood on Kensuke's shoulders.
"Why are you on top?" Kensuke asked.
"Because I bought the camera, not you," Shinji replied.
And then, he looked at all the girls.
"DAMMIT, THEY'RE WEARING TOWELS!" Shinji yelled.
"Huh?" Asuka's voice was heard, "Hikari, did you hear something?"
"And I think I just got noticed!" Shinji hissed, "Touji, crouch down!"
And then the tower fell into the water.
"Ow!" All three yelled.
"Okay..." Shinji groaned, "Time for plan B."
"What plan B?" Touji asked.
"Well, while I was trying to see the girls, I noticed a number of male employees nearby," Shinji noted, "So, we pose as employees, and we can see the girls without towels all we want."
"Wait, why are there male employees?" Touji asked.
"Heck, I dunno," Shinji shrugged.
"You sure anybody won't recognize us?" Kensuke asked.
"You're right... we need a disguise," Shinji placed his hands in a position resembling Gendo's thinking pose, except not on a table.
After a few short minutes, Shinji's fingers snapped.
"I got an idea for you two..."
Five minutes later...
"Hey, Kensuke, Touji," Some guy greeted the two.
"I don't know this Kensuke," Aida replied, "Although I have a feeling he'd wear glasses."
"And I don't know this Touji," Touji added, "Although he hits me as the type of guy who doesn't wear glasses."
"Oh, okay," The guy walked on.
"I told you the whole glasses-on-another-guy trick would work," Shinji smirked.
"You actually thought of something that works!" Kensuke noted.
"Of course I did!" Shinji replied, "Just who the hell do you think I am?"
"What about your disguise?" Touji asked.
Shinji replied by placing on a pair of sunglasses that looked like Kamina's, only green.
"Wow, that works for you," Kensuke smirked.
"I just found this on top of some guy's locker," Shinji explained.
And so, the trio knocked out three male employees, stole their uniforms, and walked into the female hot springs.
"So... when are they gonna drop the towels?" Touji asked.
"At any moment," Shinji replied.
At that moment, PenPen ran by, surprising Rei, Asuka, and Hikari. But by their surprise, they had lost grip of their towels...
"Speak of the devil," Shinji smirked, "Looks like the moment's-"
... revealing the swimsuits that the three were wearing underneath.
"-The hell?" Shinji, Kensuke, and Touji replied simultaneously.
"Good thing the nice workers were able to lend us the swimsuits," Asuka smiled.
"That's a special service for us," One of the workers replied. Noticing Shinji and co, he raised an eyebrow, "Is there a problem?"
"Nope," Touji quickly turned away.
"Nada," Kensuke replied.
"... YOU WANNA KNOW IF I HAVE A PROBLEM!" Shinji roared, dropping the glasses, "YES, I DO HAVE A PROBLEM! YOU TOOK MY EXPECTATIONS, MADE ME GO AROUND AND TRY TO FULFIL THEM, AND YOU STUFFED THEM INTO THE DIRT! SMACKED THEM AROUND AND SMASHED THEM! I'LL FOLLOW YOU BASTARDS TO THE FIREY PITS OF HELL!"
His rant ended suddenly because of a creepy shadow overlaying the entire place...
'I am the Angel of the Unborn. My power brings non-existence to those that have yet to exist. I am the Eighth of my kind. I am Sandalphon. I am here...'
"Oh, shit," Shinji growled.
To Be Continued.
