Neon Genesis Evangelion:Messiah
Part 3

Author's Notes: Neon Genesis Evangelion is copyrighted to GAINAX and not me. I am just a die-hard fan who loves to write. I am doing this cuz I love Eva. This is my first real attempt at writing a fanfic,so bear with me. All new characters like Tori and Taylor are my creations. Now lets get to it.


Secrets

Misato groggily got up from her bed at the sound of the alarm. Staff meeting' she thought. She dressed quickly and started on her way out. She checked on Shinji and Asuka, both were asleep,both dreaming.

Asuka's dream:
No mother,don't'
She screamed in the darkness.
Mama!'
An eerie voice called out to her. Not ready,useless'
ALONE'
Nooooooooooooooo!'
Her blue eyes snapped open,her breathing ragged,her nightshirt stuck to her back. I am not useless'

Shinji's dream:
So warm,so peaceful. He could feel a gentle hand brush his cheek. A figure stood in front of him. It turned, violet eyes stared back at him.
Tori'
The figure shook its head
Mother'
It shook its head
Rei'
It shook its head. It faded away. It is what you are' it whispered.
Ikari'
Ikari'
Ikari'
Ikari! Dumkoph wake up damnit! He opened his eyes. Ahhhh! Soryu what are doing in my room?!
Waking you up jerk,we'll be late for school stupid

Tori exited her apartment quietly and sullenly. Down the hall Rei was doing the same. She walked down the stairway to the street. A moment later Tori did the same.

Inside the earth,a force churned. A force waiting to be unleashed......

Sir detecting a life form about 50 kilometers to our west,underground. Target has surfaced. Data received, bloodtype blue. Its an angel.

Get Major Katsuragi up here ASAP! Ritsuko said sharply
I want the pilots here on the double. Declare a state of emergency now!
Yes ma'am

Tori was about to reach school when Hikari bumped into her.
Oh Ms. Karimeta, didn't you hear? School's been canceled.

Her phone rang. Excuse me
Yes, Karimeta here
Get to HQ immediately. We have an emergency.

Pardon me she said and took off running. She soon caught up with Shinji and Asuka.
You heard?
Asuka said sarcastically. She shot her a dirty look. Damnit,damn her'
They quickly made it to the gate and expressed it to the command center.
Suit up Misato said
The three ran to the lockers. Asuka you too. I'm lifting your standby status on a temporary basis. Its against my better judgment, but we need all available pilots right now.
She ran off.

All entry plugs inserted, pilots standing by. Moving Evas to launch pads. Maya said
What is the ETA of the target?
About 9 minutes
All pathways clear
Listen all of you,the angel has been masking itself and we have little to no data on it. Proceed with caution.
they all replied
Eva launch Misato ordered
Lowering Tokyo-3 infrastructure. City blocks secure.
She turned to Makoto
Evas approaching target.

Outta my way sixth child. Let me show you how to beat an angel. Unit 02 split off from the group and started to advance on the target.
Asuka wait! We don't know anything about the target! Shinji yelled
The tentacled creature whipped out a slimy gray extension of itself.
Unit 02 took out its prog knife. The angel screamed and wrapped itself around Unit 02. Its tentacle opened and sharp teeth dripped green saliva.
Its crushing me! Damn you! Die! Asuka shouted as Unit 02 stabbed the tentacle
Unit 01 and Unit 06 blasted it. The A-T field went up and deflected the blasts.

What is the status of Unit 02? Misato asks
Chest pressure increasing. Crack in first and second armor plates.
All units! Listen up, I need two of you to distract the angel while the other frees Unit 02.
I don't mean to be rude but will you hurry up!
All units attack!
I will retrieve Unit 02
Tori are you sure?
She looked at him through the view screen.
I understand
Roger that
Coming Asuka'
Units 00 and 01 came around the back and tackled it. Now Tori!

Unit 02 struggled.
Unit 06 sliced the tentacle,freeing the red Eva.

The core,go for the core! Misato shouted. Unit 01 wrangled it and stabbed in the red center.
Detecting high energy within the target shouted Shigeru
Its going to explode!
All units get out of there! Misato yells

Units 01 and 00 have been recovered. Maya reports
Where is Unit 02 and 06? Misato asks
Still on the surface Makoto says
she says
Unit 02 has 10 seconds of power.
Go ahead sixth child,let me die Asuka says
I can't. My orders are to retrieve Unit 02 and that is what I will do. and with that Unit 02's power shut off. She opened a view screen to the command center. This is Unit 06,I am almost out of power. I'm spreading A-T field.....cutting off all communications.

Come ba-
She switched it off.
Shit! Why won't she listen to me

Inside the Eva the seconds were counting down. '10 seconds left'
The angel glowed and an explosion filled the screen with light.
Get sensors online. I need visual NOW!
Sensors coming back online. No energy detected from Evas and the target.
Visuals restored The screen filled with the image of the dead angel and the two Evas. Unit 06 had stepped in front of the blood colored Eva shielding it from the angel's self destruction. There they stood like an image frozen in time.

Force eject both plugs. I don't care how, just do it! I'm going with the med team,please cover for me Ritsuko Misato said running off.

She saved me and now she is probably dead. Saved me' Asuka thought as she sat in the plug.

The plugs engaged and blew out of both Evas and landed hard on the ground. The med team vehicles entered the scene. Misato ran out. Hurry up, open the plugs she shouted at the workers. The hatch opened.
M-Misato?Where? No wait! Sixth, get her out!
The med team workers pulled her out and placed her on a gurney. she said weakly
She's out! one of the workers said
How is she? Misato asks Oh God!
Tori was bloody,her plug suit was torn,she was unconscious.
I'm gone,now I am finally gone' she thought. Her thoughts stopped.

At the command center Shinji was worried. What is going on Ritsuko? Is she okay? he asked Ritsuko
Its hard to tell. We haven't received word from the site yet.
She is fine' Rei thought I know it'

Seele: It is ready
Seele:Not aware
Seele: Soon it will be.
Seele: Not soon enough
Kilh: Patience is the key. Soon we will triumph.


The Aftermath

Gendo: How is our new addition?
Fuyutsuki: Still unconscious. Do you think-?
Gendo:No
Fuyutsuki: Are you sure?
Gendo: ..................No

Tori lay in the medical center. Though her body lay broken and bruised her mind still churned. Listen girl,I told you to wait!' a man's voice said sharply
But -but'
No buts!' A wave of pain surged through her small frame. A red spot formed on her arm. Get out of here!'
Please......'
The scene faded, a bright light. A figure fills the view.
Embrace your destiny'
What? Who are you?'
Goodbye'
Wait'
Embrace and discover'

she groaned as she opened her eyes. She saw the faces of her comrades.
Shinji, Misato, Rei........Asuka?
I'm glad you're awake
Thank you ma'am
You've been lying there for three days. I was worried
She sat up and winced
Try not to move. You've suffered some internal injuries.
Yes ma'am
I have to say sixth child, what you did was pretty damn brave Asuka commented Don't get cocky though, you still pale in comparison to me.
It is good to see you Karimeta Rei said quietly
Misato looked at her watch. Time to go guys,school
I'll see you later okay Misato said
Yes ma'am
Rei, may I speak with you a moment? Tori asks
she replies softly
For a moment the air is still. The gentle murmur of the air vent was all that was heard. Their eyes lock for a second. I don't understand. I feel like we are connected in some way. I don't understand.
I wouldn't know
More silence. Tori's dream came back to her.
I feel different around you. Why is that?
I don't know. she replies and starts for the door. Goodbye Karimeta,get rest
Tori was left alone,she liked it.

Later on, Shinji was staring out the window. Reliving the battle in his mind,remembering Tori's face when made the decision to save Unit 02. She didn't say a word after he told her no,she just looked at him. Those eyes,from my dream.' He saw the sketch hanging on the wall. What you are'
A knock on his door broke his train of thought. Hey Shinji,hungry? Asuka called
he replied. He came out and sat at the table.
She slid him a connivence store sandwich.
Where's Misato?Back at HQ A pause.
You thinking about her,huh? Asuka asks

I guess she is a fairly decent pilot and a fairly decent artist,except its the title I don't get

That sketch? She said it was titled What you want to be'

Seele: It is happening
Seele: Too quickly
Seele: New mysteries revealed in the scrolls
Seele: New chances
Seele: We must secure our hold on the project

Rei stirred in her bed. I feel connected somehow. she said softly in the darkness. She turned and faced the moon. She closed her eyes.

The next day in class Shinji could barely concentrate. The memories kept coming back to him. Hey Shinji Touji whispered
So is she hurt bad?
She'll be fine in a couple of weeks,she'll be back in school in a few days


Duh,the class trip is in month and I need money for supplies
Jerk,selling her picture
Gotta make money dude

Gendo: What is the status of the Evas?
Ritsuko: Units 00,01,and 02 have been fully repaired. Unit 06 is still under going restoration
Gendo: Pilot status....
Misato: All pilots on standby,Unit 06's pilot can work again in 15 days.
Gendo: Good.

The commander exited releasing the tension in the room.
Dr. Akagi Maya called Look at this

Replaying tape It showed the battle. What is this?
According to our data,Unit 06's power should have been used up now,dropping its A-T field.

But according to our readings, it didn't drop until 6.78 seconds later.
That's odd. A-T fields don't fade. Something was keeping it up......

Committee Member # 1: Damn it Ikari. You have leveled half the outer areas
Member # 2: The cost of refurbishing the land and repairing your toys are killing us and yet you keep it up.
Gendo: I assure you NERV is doing nothing out of the ordinary.
Member # 3: And that is what worries us.....

Why are you coming along? Shinji asked Asuka
Making sure you don't chicken out. she says
I don't see why, I thought you hated her.
Just like a male to distort things. Dumkoph
They entered the medical center and walked to her room.
They saw her standing next to the window holding onto her crutches. She turned.
Hello Asuka,Shinji I guess all of you are here she said
All of us?Shinji asked
Well look its wonder girl

Rei was standing in the corner.
A feeling of dread washed over Tori. The silence was cut by the sharp blast of the emergency alarm. Attention all personal, attention all personal prepare for first stage combat. I repeat all personal prepare for first stage combat.


Scattered Memories

Damn it! Asuka shouted and ran out.
Shinji started to follow. Tori I- he started
Just go she said dryly
Come on Asuka said Let's go
Good luck

Angel approaching!

Damnit, our sensors must have been affected by the last angel's attack.
Where are those kids?
They are on their way from the med center
Okay, good Misato said Prepare the Evas
UN forces standing by
Bring up visuals A large bulbous creature with long legs and 3 large eyes. Its a big son of a bitch
Plugs have been inserted. Starting contact
Civilians have been evacuated.
Take defensive measures. The angel has yet to make a move so we don't know what kind of capabilities it has.

Eva launch!

Tori sat in the quiet stillness of her room. She closed her eyes and tried to think of more peaceful times then realized I have none'. She pulls up the rough material of her hospital clothes to see the bandages on her side. The blood was starting to seep through them.
Those wounds look pretty painful a familiar voice said


The Evas reached the surface. Attaching primary power
The angel focused one of its eyes on each Eva. The eyestalks lunged at the Evas. Unit 01 slashed it with its prog knife,it fell to the ground and dissolved. The others quickly followed suit.
Good,its blind. Misato said
Unit 01 grabbed its gun from an armament building.

Nice to see you too the figure said
she said dryly What are you doing here?
Can't I see my favorite girl?
she turned away from him I would like you to leave.
You know I can't,not when you're hurt
You never cared about me before' she thought
Who sent you? The government,the UN?
I came of my own free will... You know I care about you.

Shinji shoot it now! Misato yells. The gun fired, tearing massive holes in its abdomen. It stumbles to the ground.
Nothing detected from the target
Recover the Evas, full damage report
Minimal damage,all systems functioning normally.
Good job guys

Anger bubbles up inside of her. You care about me? You bastard. You only needed me because I was eligible for the Eva program
He placed his hand on her shoulder,she pulled away sharply. A wave of white hot pain surged through her body.
See ,you need me
Please leave
I'll go now but I will come back to see you again
She didn't answer. The door shut. She sighed.
I don't know where I came from. All I know is pain. Scattered memories,stained with blood. Evangelion,my link,it gives me a reason to exist. I don't want to exist.'

Another angel is dead,thank God Misato said
Yes,they seem incredibly focused today Ritsuko replied
These new angels are interesting she said
Lucky thing that the children were in HQ when it happened.


Shinji returned to the med center,armed with the news that Tori could leave a day earlier then expected. He opened the door and heard the sounds of crying. In the corner was Tori. Tear drops stained her clothes.
