Chapter 57: Discovery and Collapse, Pt. 2
After letting go of him, both Shinji and Rayne walked down the flight of stairs to the bottom level. The temperature on floor was warmer than the cold air on the upper levels. Still holding onto the back of his jacket, she followed him in the darkness. The officer still couldn't see anything around her including her stretched out arm. Both heard soft echoes from their footsteps.
"W-w-w-watch yOuR sTeP…Miss R-a-y-n-e…!" the male pilot stated before feeling the dark clone slice his right calf open.
It slithered and began pushing its entire form through the wound while hysterically giggling in random pitches. Wet sounds of squeezing, popping, folding, and hissing were produced from the forced entry. Feeling its vileness washed over him, he felt his eyeballs roll back for a second. They came back forward and everything was a pulsating world of red and black. Seeing the first obstacle in front of him, it was one of many large and thick blue veins. It and others trailed to something off center of the underground lab up ahead.
"T…h…E…r…E…are large…LaRgE wires-he-h-h-e-r-e…" he said in a semi-distorted voice and shook his head.
"S-Shinji?" Rayne whispered putting her other hand on his right shoulder.
"My-mY-my aaapppooollllooogggiiiieeeesss…MISS…RAyNe…LeTs-c-c-c-c-continue…WeArEaLmOsTtHeRe," Shinji muttered deranged and in different voices. Biting her tongue from feeling fear creep into her, she let go of his shoulder. Keeping her other hand on his jacket, they proceeded forward.
Hearing him move his leg over something nearby, she copied him. Both got over a few wires that seemed to be the size of a basketball in diameter. For a strange reason, she felt a familiarity in this place. Despite not seeing anything, something about here seemed important. The young officer did note that the space they were in must be the main space of the warehouse size lab of some sorts.
The only sound so far that echoed was their footsteps. From time to time, faint and distant metal was expanding and contracting slowly. Each one made her feel a little on edge as if something was here with them. Sensing him stopping, she stopped.
"What is wrong Shinji?" she asked.
"Weeee…HaVe…!$^…a…r…r…i…v…e…d," he answered slowly sounding distorted. Feeling him slowly turn around, she let go of his jacket. His eyes were closed; however, his atmosphere had turned dark and eerie.
"…arrived…where exactly?"
"…lAbOrA-I-tOrY…hEaRT…UnDer-h-gRoUnD…" two voices spoke at the same time from him.
"I-I…um…is there…something here?" Rayne asked steeling herself despite feeling that she should back away.
"… #$^Y$&^#%E$&%&S…" the male pilot said with much white noise in his voice.
"…!?" the officer said taking a step back. Two hands grabbed her wrists firmly as she felt that menacing presence in front of her.
"…YYYYYYeeeeeeeSSsSsSsS…there-THEREIS…s…o…m…e…t…h…i…n…g…HERE!" the evil voice said in dark enthusiasm.
Shaking in fear, two crimson irises opened up in front of her and stared. She felt her skin crawl from feeling its vile hands on her arms. Before Rayne could utter a word, she was pulled down hard. Opening her hands to catch herself before hitting the ground, her peripheral saw the red eyes moved closer. They seemed to increase to the size of softballs.
"wItNeSs…WIT&$^#$…y…o…u…r…YoUr-yOuR-YOUR!-YOUR!-EXITENCE!" it screamed savagely in front of her.
Reaching the ground, her hands landed onto a protrusion that slowly sank down a little. An audible click was heard from below. She felt the firm hands on her wrists let go. Distant snaps were heard sounding like large breakers turning on. Seeing something flickering above, Rayne looked up. Large ceiling lights were coming to life with a dull glow. Slowly, the lights illuminated the large open space all the way to the bottom.
Standing up and looking around in wonder, she could see what was inside here. The space was the size of a warehouse with research equipment and components lined up near the walls. Looking back to where they came, the officer could see the staircase they came down. There were three floors from the top to the ground level. Small lights and monitors were turning on from each level. Offices were seen too showing that it was once inhabited by SEELE scientists and researchers.
Looking at the ground in front of her, she saw the giant sized cable wires. In fact, there were multiples of them spreading to large outlets in the walls and floors. Following them, she slowly turned around.
"…!?" she said recoiling and taking a step back. Seeing the twisted Ikari boring its eyes as at her, the malicious grin on its face sent a chill down her spine. She took a second step back seeing what was behind him. It was a massive object that was slowly rising and falling. As if it was breathing, multiple ligaments were slowly twitching.
"…what…in…the world…" she whispered watching the gigantic figure slowly start to rise and expand itself.
Color was sluggishly feeding back into it as if it was coming back from a deep slumber. It looked part organic and part machine of a morbidly morphed humanoid. Parts of it were missing making it look more of a zombie. Despite some of its chest looking somewhat normal, its rib cage was exposed with organs missing. Its legs were cut off from the mid thigh and looked like segmented stumps.
Arms were surgically replaced with robotic tentacles with three coming out of each shoulder socket. Its cybernetic head had its skin removed with more parts removed. The only part that didn't look like a skeleton robotic head was the open brain held by metal tongs and the blackened eye balls that had murky orange irises. Something started shifting behind her and she leaped a bit forward. Turning around with a bewildered and frightened face, the ground she was standing on slowly parted away. A hydraulic lifted sounded and a metal shaped kiddy pool rose from the floor. Its walls were two feet high and had many slots on the outside.
"…?" Rayne said slowly moving toward it.
Looking inside, there was nothing seen except for a strong iron odor. A big movement of flesh and robotics sounded behind her. A loud metallic tapping was heard shortly after followed by heavy booming clicks. Turning around quickly, her eyes widen seeing the behemoth monster walking toward them. Its eyes were looking at Shinji first. Blinking, it didn't do anything. Slowly looking up to see her, its eyes seemed to widen and moaned loudly.
"…!?" Rayne said backing up from hearing the booming sound from the tentacle monster.
Startled, she tripped and fell into the kiddy pool with a yelp. Frantically pushing herself up, she saw the giant stand to hover above them. Freezing and looking up with fear, the behemoth looked down at her and gave a softer groan. Watching one of the metal tentacles of each arm moved forward, the officer started to hyperventilate. Each one inserted into the sides of the pool. Feeling herself shaking from terror, Rayne started to see the tub fill up inside with orange liquid that smelled like blood.
Seeing a figure walk to the pool wall and kneel down, she quickly looked at it. Sitting on his knees, Shinji stared at her with a stoic face and dark magenta eyes. Fear was still gripping her intensely. It made her not able to speak as she shook. The orange liquid filling the small pool added to her bewilderment and terror. Once it was full, she kept looking back and forth between the behemoth and the male teen. The monster's skeletal mouth grinned at her as its black-orange eyes seemed to soften their intensity. Its brain pulsated slower as if it had calmed down and was relaxed.
"…" Shinji said feeling all of his voices merged out of him.
His environment slowly normalized to where he felt able to function without hindrance. The pulsating vile black-red world changed back to what everything should be. The officer slowly scooted back seeing that his face was very calm and unafraid of the inhumane object towering directly above him. She heard him clear his throat.
"Miss Rayne. Based on the files I have read from NERV, this is your birth place. The containment that you are in was where you were born from and nurtured into a newborn," he said with a blink.
"…" his voices said standing around him and watching the female officer.
They could feel her psychological and emotional state starting to spin and crush her sense of reality and humanity. Her vitals were rapidly rising as well. Despite getting enjoyment from the torture that the female teen was going through, her eye color was slowly radiating a stronger amber orange. The intensity of them was slowly making them feel astray and paranoid. All of them saw their vision go static for a second or two. It made them blink then recoiled.
"…!?" all the voices stated.
They suddenly saw another voice that materialized directly behind Shinji. Oddly, they never seen or heard of it before. Rana did not say anything to the others and slowly backed away. Moving around to get a look at the new voice from the front, they blinked in surprised. Despite seeing it was an identical copy of Shinji with alterations, something about it was very strange, evil, and wrong. They became startled when the dark clone was grinning inhumanly wide with pain and pleasure. It caused the other voices to step back feeling fear creep into them.
"go…sEtHeR-f-f-f-fffffffffffrreeeeeee…FEED! FEEEEEDDD-ME-HER-DENIAL! HER FEAR! HER PAIN! HER INSANITY! HER SCREAMS! HERRAGE!-HERBLOODLUST!-HERDEATH!…FEED!$#!%^MY*$%^#$^PLEASURES!" it screamed with lust, cruelty and insanity into Shinji's ear.
Seeing the doppelganger become unstable and shaking, it got out a scalpel. They watched as it ruthlessly thrust the small cutting instrument into its left arm. Black blood was oozing out from the puncture would as it grinned wider to cause its lips to rip in places. Slowly cutting its arm up with huffs of enjoyment, the appalled voices saw the derange voice was getting an erection. The male pilot in front of him just blinked and kept his stoic expression.
"Behind me," he said raising his hand with an open palm to the being towering above them. Rayne kept her terrified face on him while making quick glances at the monster.
"Is the being that supplied you the genes for your birth…"
"yes!*(&^#Yeeeessssss!$#&$*YES!…O…H…Y…E…S," the insane masochist shouted with lustful spats as he cut himself deeper. The voices took another step back seeing large amounts of black blood spilling freely onto the floor. Bone was being seen from its butchered arm as it continued its self-mutilation.
"…in technicality, this is your mother that has been biological modified as an organism with-" Shinji said when the officer looked at him wild eye with a shaking mouth.
"…w-w-what…n-no!…t-that is not!?," Rayne said suddenly bursting forward and grabbed the male pilot's collar. He got heavily splashed with the orange liquid as it came out in a wave. Not fazed by it, he blinked a couple of times. Figuring it was the same liquid NERV used, it wouldn't cause problems for his skin.
"SHINJI, TELL ME THAT IS NOT TRUE!?" she shouted pulling his collar up to her frantic face.
"I do not know Miss Rayne," he said calmly and still. "It is what the files in NERV's database stated amongst other files there."
"…no…no…it can't be…" she muttered to herself letting go of his collar.
Visions started to go through her mind of the past quickly. They were of when she was very little and changed sporadically from one to another. Three distinct ones stuck out the most. One was remembering the ground always seemed warm. Another was a giant she always seen in the background with similar eye color as her. Lastly, it was what the scientists and researchers did.
"…oh god…that means I'm…" Rayne said as she shook viciously with horror. Her mind was slipping and her vision was starting to bend to the side.
"…!?" the behemoth monster said blinking and moving one of its free metallic tentacles quickly. Close to the female's head, it slow down and softly reached to the officer's face. Feeling the tip touch the woman's face, it made sure to not cut the skin.
"…!?" Rayne said freezing herself feeling the tentacle touch her face. Hyperventilating, she watched as the large metal spider leg shaped appendage slowly rubber her cheek up and down. Something about that motion got her to calm a little; however, she continued to trembling with fear. Her nerves felt like were about to snap.
"…" all the voices said stepping away more.
They felt much terror and vileness pouring out of the dark clone. It continued with its self-mutilation while grinning wider and having a full erection. It continued to hover over the male pilot that was still kneeling. Despite the chaos and insanity of the evil voice, the Third Child's expression made them more uncomfortable. He didn't emit fear, paranoia, or emotional distraught. Both them were emitting strong vibes of wholeness as they were staring at the female officer.
Distant movements were heard far behind and above the monstrosity. Sounds of men shouting followed by machine guns pointing at them came to their ears. Both Rayne and Shinji saw their sight go into micro vision. A chorus of rapid blasts of light and bullets screamed and echoed violently from the levels above. Hearing the monstrosity groan in pain and anger, it moved to take the brunt of all the shots. It kept its place shielding both of them while it continued groaning.
"…!?" Rayne said in fear and terror as orange blood from the monstrosity was splashing every direction. She saw a stray bullet almost hit Shinji as it impacted with the ground next to him. Her fright elevated seeing that he was still emotionlessly staring at her. He hadn't turned around or moved from his spot as if he was not even afraid of what was going on around him. Suddenly, another set of machine gun fire was heard from above.
Unable to move, she could see several men in dark suits from the upper levels firing down at them. With the large amount of fiery flashes, it was raining bullets on them. Despite the increase gunfire, the giant creature continued to protect them. After a short amount of time, she felt something fading. Looking at the large creature above them, it had trickles of orange liquid dripping down its back and head. Its eyes blinked slowly and moaned as if it was in pain and happy to see her safe. It closed its eyes.
"…no…hey!" Rayne shouted in distraught watching the organism's color pale and darken. Its exposed organs started pulsating slower and slower. Locking itself in its position, the metal tentacle touching the officer's cheek stopped moving. It let out a shallow and tried groan slowly opening its eyes. The grinning creature stared at her with a frozen gaze.
"…no-no-no…don't go!" she shouted. The continuous gun fire above drowned out her voice. Feeling immense grief, she got out of the orange liquid pool when two metal sparks were seen below the behemoth. Looking down, both the creature's and Rayne's vision had a glitch and went static a couple of times. The evil presence that she had been feeling suddenly magnified twofold.
"…!?" Shinji said in a sharp breath feeling two piercing pings in his body. Blinking and looking at him, there was a bullet hole in his chest with blood flowing out of it. Feeling his hat come off, half his hair then face was dripping with red from his head. Not moving his limbs, he blinked slowly and started to lean backwards looking upward. Everything started to slowly get darker.
"NOOO!" the officer screamed and leaped forward. Embracing the male pilot, she slowly laid him down. Hovering over him, he was paling and had a lost look in his face.
"GOD NO! PLEASE! DON'T LEAVE ME LIKE THIS!" Rayne wailed feeling the emotional and psychological turmoil overflowing inside her. Tears were falling down her face freely as she saw the droplets fall onto his lost looking face. His shirt was almost completely soaked with liquid crimson as blood slowly pooled around his head. She buried her head on his chest holding onto him fiercely.
"…" Shinji said glancing down at the officer.
Feeling slightly numb from a fresh wound, he looked with his eyes behind him. The dark clone was nearing his orgasm as he thrust his knife into his left side of its torso. It moaned pleasure from sharing the pain inflicted in that area with the male pilot. To complete its request, he concentrated on slowing his pulse and heart rate. Getting it down to a deep low rate, it brought him into a comatose like state. His vision continued to darken till it faded way. Slowly, a different environment was forming in his vision; however, it was in a dense fog that was slowly lifting itself.
"…!?" Rayne blinked in shock.
Moving her head a little, she didn't hear a heartbeat. Touching his wrist, there wasn't a pulse. Shaking all over, she slowly raised her head to look at his face. Shinji's face was locked in a death stare at the creature above. Her mind couldn't take it anymore and something slipped. The intense emotions she felt suddenly burst out into a bloody lurching scream that kept increasing in volume. The remaining gunners that were firing suddenly couldn't hear their shots anymore from a loud noise. Stopping, a scream boomed at them.
"A…HAHA #% $^AHAHA!YES!…ah…ah…mmmmmm…yyyeeeesssss…dIvInE!#$^##$e…n…l…i…g…t…m…e…n…t" the dark clone stated releasing all his pleasure. It spilled onto the metal floor that contrasted with the black blood he poured out of him. Taking a slow breath in, it exhaled pleasantly. Turning slowly around, it saw the other voices look at him terrorized. He gave them a genuine elated smile feeling happy and pleased.
"…I…" Rayne shouted clenching her hands into fists and her teeth together. A dark orange glow surrounded her as she started to move things around her. Loose debris, bullet shells, and blood started to lift from the ground.
"…EVERYTHING…" she snarled and glared at the remaining gunners above her. For the men in suits, they could see a glowing figure below with piercing orange eyes looking back at them.
"KILL!" she shouted and murderously grabbed the two tentacles still connected to the small pool.
A surge of orange glow rushed to the behemoth as its eyes opened wide. Bursting to life, all of the color it lost came back. An orange color resonance emitted from it. The giant frantically moved from feeling something inside of it forming quickly. Its skull mouth opened and let out a deep roar. The middle of its chests started pulsating and expanding till a flesh rip occurred and sounded. When monster's chest stopped opening up and pushing its skin away, a large dull red ball sat in the middle of the open wound.
At NERV HQ, alarms were going off making the crew there startled and scramble to their battle stations.
"What's going on?" Ritsuko asked when the bridge monitors were finding the source.
"Code blue. An Angel detected underground east-north 70 miles inland from Neo-Tokyo," Makoto stated.
"Another one!? It hasn't been 24 hours since the last one!" the scientist stated with bewilderment then quickly composed herself. "Underground? Is there any view that we can get there?"
"Negative. Access is denied."
"How come?"
"That area is SEELE territory," he said bringing it up on the main screen.
The window showed a web page of just the SEELE slogan. A bubble formed asking for a command code. About to give an order to change to different satellite viewing methods, the bridge crew heard running footsteps. Ritsuko turned to see Misato heading toward her with both Asuka and Rei following behind her. All three of them were in their casual clothes. About to tell her friend about her revealing and unprofessional attire, the Major's expression was tense, anxiety, and scared.
"Misato. I'm surprised you came this quickly with the pilots."
"Never mind that," the lavender hair woman said in a rush tone. "Maya, type in the command code: E.B.M.O."
"Roger," she complied. The bridge monitor quickly typed and the window screen of SEELE's page slowly faded away. It resized itself and brought up an access menu.
"Makoto, tap into the electronics sector of A-0328," the Major ordered.
When the male technician typed the command, the sector showed up on the screen. A drop down menu showed a selection of security cameras. Selecting all that were there, eight camera views appeared as their own window on the main screen. Two showed exterior views in which there was a massive gun fight in the surrounding vegetation. A manhole with a hatch was opened and seen in the middle of both outside camera views.
"Misato…what in the world…" Ritsuko asked bewildered.
What the exterior views were showing was baffling; however, it was the six interior cameras that were more unsettling. Flares of machine gun fire were raining down at the bottom level of the warehouse size space. There were two individuals on the ground level with one glowing orange and the other on the floor motionless. A giant deformed cybernetic zombie like creature was roaring at the air. Its black-orange eyes shined brighter as it started to levitate in the air.
It quickly sent out its tentacles towards the gunmen above. In quick slashing motions, the gunners were slaughtered. Their body parts flew in different directions splattering gore far and wide. One of the cameras became covered with red liquid and was smashed. A dismembered leg one of the corpses impacted it and rendered it unable to view. The remaining five video records still had a clear view of the interior. All of them had more than one glitch that lasted for a second or two before clearing up. Looking more closely at the vast open space, it gave more of an appearance of an underground laboratory.
"Is that an Angel?" Misato asked. The being made her think that the creature was more of something out of a horrible and sick experiment in a movie.
"Readings on the large organism indicate that it is an Angel," Maya read out loud from her monitor. All were watching as the undead looking Angel rave for a short while before it started to slow its movements. Refocusing its attention on what was below them, it got the NERV crew to look at who was on the floor.
"Maya, get a close up of the two individuals there," Ritsuko stated to the bridge monitor. Two internal cameras zoomed in and the crew saw something that held their breath.
"…Ikari…" Ayanami stated softly with a scared face feeling her chest tighten painfully.
"…!?" Asuka said in shock and mentally denying what was being shown.
"…no…" Misato whispered putting her hand to her mouth. The Third Child was lying down on his back with his eyes closed. Two fatal looking wounds were on his body with a bullet hole through the chest and one in the head. Blood had spread over his shirt, down his face, and pooling on the floor. Heavy amounts of orange liquid that was on the floor started mixing with the red blood.
Rayne was still glowing orange when she let go of the tentacles. She looked at the large creature that was still floating in the air. It seemed connected with her as if it was a part of her. Analyzing herself, she felt different physically, mentally, and psychologically. Everything seemed clearer and simple as in black and white without the gray. There was only one thought, one purpose. It was to retrieve the Father and Mother of their brethren from the children of the world.
Just as she thought that, Rayne turned toward the fallen lilim. Many emotions and thoughts invaded her mind that she didn't understand; however, their intensity was too great as the female teen held her head. Pressure was building inside her skull making standing difficult. Thinking that the lying person was a threat to her, she mentally commanded the behemoth to consume the lilim. As it complied to do so, the pressure intensified greatly feeling a sharp ping in her mind. Everything blacked out as she fell to the floor unconscious.
"…" an evil chuckle softly emitted above her. A figure reached down and grabbed her foot. Snickering sadistically, it started to drag her away.
The NERV crew watched as the monstrosity slowly hovered over the Third Child. Its cut off legs suddenly shredded itself into many tentacles. Slowly descending, the space under its waist opened to reveal a fleshly transparent membrane. All watched in horror as it easily covered the male teen's body. Its many tentacles started wrapping around the outside of the membrane. Once finished, the membrane began folding inward and pulling up. As the transparent webbing slowly went into its body, everyone saw the Third Child's legs sticking out from the bottom. Slowly, the entire body of the male pilot went inside the Angel as it let out a roar that shook everything around it.
"…heeeeee…hee-hee…heh-heh…gah-hahahaha…AAAAAAHHHHHHH-HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" the dark clone said cackling uncontrollably as it continued to drag the unconscious woman.
Feeling the dense fog in his comatose state move, he opened his eyes. The dense fog had finally lifted to reveal that he was somewhere down the subconscious hospital hallway. Looking at his left side, the bullet wound on his torso had stopped bleeding. Seeing that he was in his school attire, he proceeded forward in a direction. Walking down a bit, he recognized where he was based on the faded and cold doors. They were the same; however, the entire hallway looked fragile. Web fractures were seen everywhere. Curious, he stopped and turned to a wall crack.
"…" he said pressing his finger on it.
The wall gave in a bit making more web cracks. Pulling his finger back, nothing happened to it or the wall. Turning back to the hallway, he continued down it. After a short walk, the Third Child felt a presence coming from behind him quickly. Attempting to turn around, it collided with him quicker than he expected. Feeling its hands grab his back, something felt soft against it. Knowing who it could be, he glanced behind him.
"Something the matter Rana?" he asked seeing her in a similar outfit as himself.
"What…what is going on in here?" she asked with trepidation. "The others are actually scared."
"Scared?" he asked feeling her head nod and shaking a little. He turned around slowly and looked at her with a stoic face.
"What are they afraid of?"
"The evil version…and you" she said looking at his eyes. Despite seeing how cold and piercing they looked in the gritty and dark hallway, having him close made her feel safer than anywhere else in the subconscious mind.
"…WhY…wwwhhhhyyyyy…WoUlD they-THEREJECTS! B-B-B-B-B-B-BBBBEEEEEEEEE…a…f…r…a…i…d…of…usssss!#% ssssss?" the demented clone questioned. It was somewhere nearby and suddenly materialized behind her. It was also wearing similar clothes as the Third Child.
"…" Shinji said about to open his mouth when he saw Rana change her expression.
It morphed from being scared to terrified as her eyes became piercing and icy. She quickly turned around and drew out her tantos. As if all one motion, the female voice thrust the dark clone with both weapons. Each blade went into the outer ribcage of its body. Piercing through the back, it tightened its muscles to hold the blades in place. She couldn't push them deeper or pull them out.
"…OoOoOoOo…f…E…e…L…s…N…i…C…e…" it said moaning with pleasure as a malicious grin washed on its face. The corners of its mouth stretched more seeing the two emotions go through the female voice. One was fear while the other was killing intent.
"eyes…eYeS-EYES! EYES! ^$^ #$ of a killer…ApPeAlInG…" the corrupted clone said with a deep slow chuckle. Walking forward suddenly, Rana attempted to escape when it quickly grabbed her wrists. Twirling her around instantly, the insane voice held her arms behind her painfully. Giggling innocently with a few static and glitch sounds, it got next to her ear.
"HaVe YoU eVeR w…o…n…d…e…r…e…d WONDERED! of-of-of-of-of-offfffffff-YoUr ConCEPtion?" it whispered and breathed in her ear sending immediate chills down her spine.
Before she could react, Rana was pressed into Shinji. Surprised and blushing a little, she almost was lost in the sensation and feelings from the contact. However, the dark clone's vile and menacing presence brought her back. Her skin crawled and felt clammy feeling the evil voice press its body against her back. Trembling a little and looking down with her eyes, her tantos were still lodge into its ribcage. They were coated and dripping with black morbid blood.
All three blinked at the same time and immediately didn't have their clothes on. Seeing how her bare body was pressing against Shinji's, the sensations and feelings came back stronger. Wondering if the male pilot felt the same, she looked at his face. Strangely, his expression went into a mild surprise in slow motion. His irises became smaller and stared through her with an intense gaze.
"go#$%^a-H-e-A-d...isn't this-ISN'TTHISWHATYOU%#^$#$DESIRE!" the evil voice bellowed in different voices loud, soft, and deranged in her ear.
Rana blinked in fright and felt her arms being let go. She could feel its expression become more wild and horrifying behind her. Letting her arms fall to her side, she continued to stare at the Third Child's face in a growing apprehension. His face seemed to be frozen in place as his heart rate and pulse were slowing down quickly. Being sandwiched between them, she felt them being polar opposites. Shinji's body radiated warmth while the dark clone emitted the chill of death. Oddly though, they had a similarity between them. An evil giggle came from behind her.
"…you-YoU-YOU ReMeMbEr thhhhiiisssss…don't-DON'TYOU!…m…Y…s…E…e…D-D-D-D-Dddddddddddd?"
"…" the male pilot said continued to stare in mild-surprise as he felt his body starting to tremble visibly. Rana could feel his muscles and veins twitching rapidly against her.
"…our bbbbbooodddddiiiieeeessss-bOdIeS-BODIES! BODIES! BODIES! BODIES! BODIES! REMEMBEREVERYSINGLESPECIALMEMORYOFTHEIRGIFTS!" the dark clone shouted at the top of his lungs with enthusiastic rage and savage passion.
It reached its tentacles behind the male pilot with a toothy grin that showed its crude mouth and the numerous amount of teeth. Shinji felt two dark and cold appendages grab his rear and pulled. In a split second, both he and Rana saw a vile and candid memory. The sensations from it came alive as they felt abused, violated, humiliated, sore, rage, resentment, hatred, and pain.
"…no…no…" she muttered looking the male pilot. Rana started shaking all over and started crying heavily with a lost look. "…that…that…can't…"
However, there was more than one memory of the same thing. As tears were falling down her face, she heard him hyperventilating. Shinji's face became more pale than normal. His eyes only had pupils as they were shaking in place vigorously. His body was shaking more violently and getting tenser as all his muscles were flexing. Something dark and sinister was building inside of him. It came to a point where the male pilot's growing aura was radiating more than the evil voice's.
"…ahhhh…" the dark clone said pleasantly with a smile. It reached both of its hands to hold the Third Child's face softly and tenderly.
"My seed."
Just after saying that, the Third Child's expression became enraged and let out a murderous blood lurching roar. As he sustained his scream, it kept lower in pitch till it sounded as an intense monstrous version of the dark clone's. Terror gripped her savagely being in front of his outburst. Suddenly, the pitched spiked to be a piercing shrill as he continued to look enraged and insane.
In the quickness of blinking, the male pilot had his .50 cal pistol in hand and at the dark clone's head. A loud explosion sounded as he shot it at point blank range. The dark clone's head explode behind her sending gore in every direction of the hallway. Before even recovering from the deafening blast of the firearm, she heard Shinji's roaring intensify even more as blood tears were falling down his face. Burying her head on his chest and embracing him hard, she felt the continuous explosions occur above her head. Each shoot shook both her body and his violently.
"…!?" Rana said seeing the hallway floor breaking below them.
The space started to fall apart and shatter hearing the walls and ceiling crumble to pieces around them. Looking up to try to get him to stop, she saw Shinji's distorted face as everything around him became chaotic, disturbing, dark, and full of suffering. Throwing his head back and screaming at the rapid strobe of memories, everything started to swirl with a red and black background. A deep and sinister chuckle kept getting louder and louder as everything spun in distortion.
