NGE :: Born from the infinite abyss
somewhat inspired by the "Hentai Shinji" story by gmgurp666.


Shinji Ikari sighed as he watched the digital timer slowly count down the seconds before the Eva 01 will completely run out of power and the life-support system that kept him alive will shut down. And for some reason, be that his mind working overtime as it understood that his chances of survival were quickly dwindling into nothingness, or because he was inside the black abyss of the Dirac's sea, time seemed to move so slowly...

And as the number on the display was lazily approaching all zeros, the desire to fight and survive, despite all odds grew inside the normally wimp boy. And the Eva felt that, for it still shared a powerful connection with its pilot. It too didn't want to perish, even if it didn't have a true soul to have desires or the likes.

Seeing that, unless something was done, they all would perish in the black abyss that was the inside of the latest child of Adam that Lilim had to fight, the small mind of its own that Eva had went into the state of berserk – the only way to solve the problems it knew – once again powering the purple colossus up... With the systems back online the Eva was ready to fight once again, and with the both active minds within it desiring the same thing – to survive – the synchronization rate between the pilot and the Eva skyrocketed, quickly going past the safe limits. Not that either would notice this at the moment...

The berserk Evangelion began moving through the infinite black abyss that the insides of the twelfth Angel were, seeking the S2-core of the child of Adam. Even in its current state of battle frenzy, the Eva understood what it should attack to kill the Angel, and with its more primal senses that those put in it by the Lilim, it could feel, where that core was.

Back in Tokyo-3, a large group of JSDAF bombers, armed with all N2-bombs Japan had, circled high above the city, ready to unleash their deadly cargo on the Twelfth Angel. Said angel was quite an interesting being: the thing's true body was almost completely flat and lay on the ground, absorbing everything that foolishly touched its surface into the great void that it held within. And the zebra-striped ball hovering above it was actually nothing more than its three-dimensional 'shadow'.

Since the beast was quite a scientific paradox, no one was sure how to kill it – especially since using Eva's against it so far proved to be rather useless (and one of the three was actually lost, along with its pilot) – it was a very good thing that Leliel didn't seem to be overly hostile as it actually wasn't doing much if anything at all at the moment, giving the humans a chance to think of something to deal with it...

Or that was so until an unearthly sound that could be categorized as a cry of pain exploded out of the beast. A moment later its 'shadow' became completely solid and a bleeding cut appeared on it. Then another one. And one more. For the next couple of seconds nothing happened, as if whatever was hurting the Angel was preparing to deal one massive blow to finish the alien beast. And indeed it was so as moments later Eva 01, now dark-red from the blood on it, burst out of the Twelfth Angel, finishing the already dying creature with this.

The victorious behemoth made a couple more steps, before the glow in its eyes died down, and bio-mechanical giant fell lifelessly onto the buildings that were there.


In the Central Dogma, major Misato Katsugari was still in a shock of seeing Eva 01 return from inside the Angel. This meant that Shinji was back! Yes, over the months the boy had been living with her, he grew on her, going as far as pulling some motherly instincts from her being. Misato fully understood that when the Twelfth Angel had 'swallowed' the purple Eva (along with its pilot).

"Send the teams 1 to 4 to the Eva!" The purple-haired woman ordered, before leaning tiredly against the wall. "Just wait, Shinji-kun. We'll get you home soon." She said then in a whisper.

"Um... About that, Misato." The bottle-blond chief scientist of NERV, Ritsuko Akagi, said next to her college friend. "Just before the Eva shut down, MAGI got a brief reading from it. According to the data, the synchronization rate exceeded 400 at that moment. In other words, the pilot's ego-border must have being destroyed. I'm sorry... But at the moment your Shinji is one with the Eva, much like it happened to Yui ten years ago." There was sound of a body hitting the floor as Misato fainted. "She took it better than I expected." Ritsuko commented.

While NERV scientific department was busy trying to figure out how to get him out of the Eva safely, Shinji, completely unaware that he no longer even had a physical body, was drifting in the warm and calm light-blue ocean somewhere on the edges of the conscious of the Eva 01. Yet it was no normal ocean as he could easily breathe in the 'water', and a long spiral made from dimly-glowing rectangles made a road the end of which was somewhere beyond the horizon.

Shinji tried touching one of these rectangles, and much to his surprise found that those were representations of his memories. Or no, as soon he found himself able to interact with the 'memories'. Maybe these were possible dreams? Or some other creations of his mind and his soul? More like nightmares as the young Eva pilot soon discovered.

And after one of these hellish dreams ended, he once again found himself back in the ocean, though now it no longer had the rectangles, instead being filled with the schools of fishes that were almost alive to the dark-haired boy. But there was something else in this ocean as well, even if at the moment Shinji couldn't see what it was clearly. That something was of a humanoid shape, though... As he came close, the young Ikari saw a figure that he thought he will never see again. In front of him there was his mother. Naked just as he was. Or maybe this was just another sick joke of his mind, as something felt off about her...

"Who... Who are you?" The dark-haired teen asked.

"Come closer, Shinji." The figure in front of him replied, using his mother's voice. "You've grown up so much... You're so mature now."

"Mom?" He asked: maybe this really was Yui? After all, ten years of confinement could change a person a lot... "Where have you been? I was always sad that you were gone. Why didn't you come back?"

"I've being here. I've been waiting for you." 'Yui' replied as she slowly advanced towards the young Ikari. "I knew you would be here. There's nothing to worry about anymore. We'll be together now. We won't part again, Shinji..." She said, wrapping him in a hug, while pressing her body into his definitely not in a motherly way.

"But..." The dark-haired boy spoke, remembering about his duty. "I have to go back. I have to fight the enemy... I have to win!"

"No, you don't." 'Yui' whispered. "You've done enough. You can just stay here, with me, forever. Don't you want to be in a place without pains and sorrows?" No, something was wrong here, and Shinji frantically tried to understand what. Then it hit him: the eyes. Those, while close, were not of his mother. And he had seen those green eyes once before, when Eva 01 went berserk during the fight with the Sachiel.

"No! Get away from me!" Shinji yelled, pushing the imposter away from himself. Then the ocean around him phased out into one white nothingness...


When the teen could see again, he again found himself in an ocean, though this one seemed to be far more real. Standing up – he was lying just next to the beach – he saw a small island with a single spreading tree growing on it. Underneath this tree, he saw a young woman who was breast-feeding an infant, and slightly older man... Much to his shock, Shinji recognized these adults as his mother (now he was sure she was real) and his father, while the infant... it was him... Suddenly Yui turned to look at him – yes, it definitely was his mother now – while the other two figures vanished.

"Shinji, you came to see me?" She said, as she approached him, while still keeping a comfortable distance from the still-naked teen. "You've grown up so much, and I'm very proud of you..." She trailed off, but after a short pause she continued: "But, you still have to learn a lot to be a man I wish you to be. I know that you didn't like it when she did that, but still hurt her much." Shinji's puzzled expression, for some reason caused Yui to giggle. "Eva." She said then.

"Oh?" Was the very intelligible thing the young Ikari replied.

"You have just met the Eva. And your rejection hurt her: she's just a lonely child, who sought completion with you." The teen just tilted his head. "I'm not too happy with her either, but... I can forgive her, and so should you." Yui continued. "You should go back there and comfort her. Just let her know that she should be herself and not imitate others."

"And you?" Shinji asked, looking at his mother.

"I'll have to stay there." She replied.

"No." He said with an uncharacteristic strength behind his voice. "I've lost you once, and I'm not going to lose you again, Mom. I'll pull you outta here."

"Akagi-sensei, we're registering three psycho-patterns within 01." Maya said without looking away from her terminal. "One of them identified as Shinji Ikari, while the other two are unknown." This caused Misato frown, while Ritsuko looked rather shocked.

"It can't be?" She gasped. But since she didn't specify what can't be, the others couldn't agree or disagree with her. Though...

"Stop the procedure." Fuyutsuki, who was overseeing the operation to salvage the Third Child from within the Eva 01, ordered.

"No." Maya replied. "At this stage aborting will most likely completely erase both Shinji and the psycho-matrix of the Eva." This made the old man think. But he had to make his decision fast as the patterns were quickly approaching ego-borders, and once those were surpassed, the minds will get the physical bodies.

"Very well, continue. But I want section 2 agents all ready to contain the possible threat." He said then. This was the order that everyone agreed with.


Several minutes later a beeping sound was heard in the cavernous Central Dogma, signaling that on of the psycho-patterns returned from beyond the ego-border. A few moments there was the second beep. And at the same time some LCL began leaking out between the armor plates of the Eva 01. And as soon as the third beep was heard, masses of LCL burst out, finally attracting everyone's attention to what was happening to the purple and green armored behemoth. Well, it wasn't that anymore, as LCL couldn't have come out of nowhere... And without a solid body to support it, the armor of the Eva fell apart, completely shocking everyone present in the Central Dogma.

When the people there finally recovered from what they saw, they, of course, went to the Eva hangars to investigate the strange disappearance of the Eva 01. And whey they got there, they all were shocked to their cores for the second time a day by what they saw:

There, among the armor plating lay three bodies, all of them living and breathing, and completely naked. One of these bodies, as expected, was that of Shinji Ikari. But the other two were of a complete surprise. Close to him there lay Yui Ikari, looking just like an older and not-albino version of Rei. The third person, though, couldn't be identified by the NERV workers: it was a girl, about sixteen years old by her appearance, which made her be slightly older than the Children; she had a bit unruly light-purple hair that reached her shoulder blades and her skin was pale, making her look a lot like Rei. But her appearance wasn't what had shocked the NERV workers, particularly those who were more or less close with Shinji, so much. It was the fact that this unknown girl was curled into the young Ikari and he seemed to be holding her in his embrace...

"What the hell is going on here?" Misato voiced the question that, undoubtedly, everyone present here had on their minds.


This idea can be adopted!
you'll have to follow these rules, though:
* Shinji is to be paired with Eva 01 (you're free to choose a name for her). Other girl may be included, but they must be side pairings. Lemons are optional. No homosexual pairs to be brought to the front of reader's attention, though those can be mentioned (we all know that Maya fancies Ritsuko =) )
* Shinji and 01 together must be able to form an 'angel-like' being that can fight the Angels. It's appearance must be like that of Adam's during the Second Impact, but with no S2-core and with a 'bubble' containing complemented couple in its head. This semi-angel should be more powerful than Eva 01 originally was.
* with Yui back, Gendo must stop working towards completing the Human Instrumentality Project - he already got what he wanted from it - and, instead, should do his best to stop SEELE from wiping the humanity. Of course, while seemingly doing their biding for now.
* the story MUST have a solid plot and be longer than 20 000 words.
