Neon Genesis Evangelion: True Destiny
Episode 11 Children
_________________________________________________________________________________________________
In the apartment of Misato Katsuragi and Asuka Langley Sohryu, the two occupants have a visitor, Asukas father.
Asuka: Father...
Langley: (In German) Hello Asuka, it's been a while hasn't it.
Asuka: (In German) Yes sir.
Misato: Asuka, why don't you go next door, Shinji isn't in at the moment.
Asuka: Yes Misato.
The girl walks out of the apartment and next door, where she is welcomed in by Yui.
Langley: Shinji? Ah yes, Ikaris son. Is there a problem between them?
Misato: That's none of your business.
Langley: If it has to do with my daughter it is my business. Now would you kindly hand her over to me, so I can take her home.
Misato: She is home.
Langley: I'm warning you Major, do not cross me.
Misato: And I'm warning you, leave Tokyo-3 and forget about Asuka, she doesn't need or want you.
Langley: It doesn't matter what she wants, she belongs to me.
Misato: Belongs?! You're talking about her if she is a piece of meat.
Langley: The shame that she has brought upon me must end, she will return to Germany with me.
Misato: And then what? What do you have in store for her?
Langley: I have arranged a marriage between her and the son of a diplomat, she will be educated to be a fitting wife for him.
Misato: An arranged marriage? Shinji won't like this, neither will Asuka. You can't be serious. It's cruel to force her into a loveless marriage like after the life she has led, that you have forced her to lead.
Langley: I am beginning to get impatient Major, you are currently Asukas guardian, but if you don't return her to me, I will have you imprisoned for kidnapping.
The door opens and closes.
Shinji: Hey Misato! Do you know why my mom... Oh hello.
Misato: Shinji, meet Fredrich Langley, Asukas father.
She turns to Langley.
Misato: You know Shinji Ikari, don't you.
Langley: Ah yes, the person that proved Asukas incompetence, I have to thank you for that.
Shinji: 'Thank me'! Asuka did her best, I'd be proud of her for that.
Misato: Shinji, don't get involved with this.
Langley: I've said what I wanted to say, I'll give you until tomorrow afternoon to hand her over.
He walked to the door, and left the apartment.
Shinji: What is going on?
Misato: It seems that Asukas father has arranged a marriage for Asuka.
Shinji: Marriage? He can't do this.
Misato: Unfortunately he can. I can't do anything about it.
She punched the wall. Shinji sat down on the couch. Misato joined him a few seconds later.
Misato: How did it go with your father?
Shinji: I don't want to talk about it, I'll just say that it was not what I expected. By the way, why won't my mother let me into my apartment.
Misato: I sent Asuka over there when her father came in, I didn't want her to hear what he was saying.
Shinji: She still won't talk to me.
Misato: I'm sorry Shinji.
Shinji stands up.
Misato: Where are you going?
Shinji: There's something I have to do. Don't worry about Asuka Misato, everything will be okay.
Misato: What are you talking about Shinji? What are you going to do?
Shinji: You wouldn't believe me if I told you.
He left the apartment, Misato went next door to find Asuka, on the couch, crying in the arms of Yui.
Misato: She has being doing that alot lately, poor girl. He's gone.
Yui: And Shinji?
Misato: He said he has a few things to do.
Asuka looked up.
Asuka: What did he want?
Misato sat down beside Asuka and put a comforting hand on her shoulder.
Misato: You are not going to like what I am about to say Asuka.
She told them both what she was told, this caused Asuka to burst into tears again.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________
Shinji called NERV headquarters, he asked for the address where Asukas father was staying, they gave it to him and he made his way there. Thirty minutes after Langley had returned there, Shinji arrived. He was staying at one of the small hotels that had survived the destruction of Unit 00 and know had a lakeside view. He made his way to the correct room and knocked on the door. Langley answered it.
Shinji: May I come in.
Langley: You may.
They went into the room, it was a small room with a bed a chest of drawers and a window, a bathroom was just off to the side.
Langley: What do you want?
Shinji: I want you to leave Asuka alone.
Langley: Why do you care?
Shinji: A lot of things have happened between me and Asuka, I care a lot, more than you would think.
Langley: Are you saying that you are in love with my daughter?
Shinji: Yes, I am.
Langley: You are an immature little boy.
Shinji: Well this immature little boy saves the world every now and again, I have seen and done things that have forced me to grow up, the same with Asuka.
Langley: Thats beside the point, I will not leave Asuka alone, she belongs to me, she will return to Germany to start a new life.
Shinji: Over my dead body.
Langley: That can be arranged.
He started to move towards Shinji.
Shinji: Just think who you are dealing with, do anything to me and my father will have you hunted down.
Langley: Nice try, I know that your father wouldn't care if you were murdered right in front of him.
Shinji: Thats what he led you to believe.
Langley: What?
Shinji: My father didn't want to risk my life, so he made everyone believe that he didn't want me.
Langley: You have guts boy, but who would know that I did it.
Shinji: The security team following me.
Langley: Ha! They can be dealt with aswell.
He lunged at Shinji.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________
Asuka had fallen asleep, she was back in her room. But it was not an easy sleep, her father now plagued her nightmares as her mother had done not so long ago.
(The Dream)
Langley: You are a worthless little girl.
Langley: How could I love you?
Langley: You have shamed me again.
Langley: I don't want you anymore.
Asuka: Please papa, I'm sorry, I'll be good.
Langley: You should have died with your mother.
(Reality)
Asuka: NOOOOOOOOOOO!
Asuka woke up covered in sweat, again she started crying, before falling asleep, having the same nightmare again and again.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________
Langley was on the floor uncouncious.
Shinji: What the hell just happened?
The sequence went through his mind once again. Langley lunged at Shinji, Shinji closed his eyes, Langley screamed in pain, Shinji opened his eyes, Langley was uncouncious. Shinji left the hotel, and headed for NERV headquarters.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________
Gendo Ikari was sitting at his desk, deep in thought. He was thinking about his son, how they had fun when Shinji was a lot younger. Then someone pressed the intercom outside his office, he pressed the answering button.
Ikari: Who is it?
Shinji: (Over Intercom) Its me father.
Ikari: Come in.
Shinji opened the door and walked over to his fathers desk.
Ikari: Is there anything I can do for you?
Shinji: You know that Fredrich Langley is in Tokyo-3?
Ikari: I do.
Shinji: Do you know what he wants?
Ikari: No.
Shinji: He wants to take Asuka away.
Ikari: I see.
Shinji: Father, if you ever want me to forgive you, you have to make sure that he doesn't take Asuka away from me, and that doesn't mean that I want him dead
Ikari: I understand, I will do it.
Shinji: Thank you, father.
Shinji walked out of the office. Ikari smiled.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________
When Shinji finally got home, he found his mother sitting in the kitchen looking quite angry.
Yui: Where have you been?
Shinji: Sorry mom, after our little talk today, I had to discuss something with father.
Yui: What?
Shinji: I asked him to prevent Asuka from leaving.
Yui: What if she wants to leave?
Shinji: If she wants to leave, she can leave, if she is being forced to leave...
Yui: I understand Shinji.
Shinji: Why won't she talk to me? What have I done to upset so much? I can't let her leave until she talks to me.
Yui walks over to her son, and hugs him, he hugs her back.
Shinji: I'm tired, I'm going to bed, got school in the morning.
Yui: Goodnight Shinji.
Shinji: Goodnight mom.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________
Shinji was getting ready for bed.
Shinji: Why didn't I tell either of them what happened? What did happen?
He finished getting ready, got into his bed and fell asleep.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________
Langley woke up.
Langley: What happened? What did he do to me?
He tried to remember what happened, he lunged at Shinji, felt in incredible pain and then he wok up on the floor.
Langley: Never mind, as long as I get what I came for, I don't care.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________
In the morning Langley went back over to the Katsuragi apartment. He rang the door bell, Misato answered it.
Misato: What do you want?
Langley: I want to speak with my daughter.
Misato: Well I don't think she wants to talk to you.
Asuka shouts from the living room.
Asuka: Its okay Misato, I want to hear what he has to say.
Misato leads Langley through to the living room.
Langley: If you would excuse us Major.
Misato look ready to kill him.
Misato: I'll just be in my room.
She headed into it.
Asuka: I don't want to go with, I want to stay here.
Langley: You don't have a choice. The Major has probably informed you of what we discussed.
Asuka: She did.
Langley: Very well.
Asuka: I won't leave, not while mama is still in Unit 02.
Langley: So they told you, even though I had forbidden it.
Asuka: Don't you care that she can be returned.
Langley: Once, but not anymore, I have moved on.
Asuka: You are worse than Commander Ikari.
Langley: We will be leaving tonight, there is nothing anybody can do about it, the law is on my side.
Asuka: I hate you.
Langley: You will forget about this place, Unit 02 and Shinji Ikari, do you understand.
Asuka: Yes sir.
Langley: Now go pack your things, I will return at four o'clock to pick you up.
He left the apartment. Misato came through.
Asuka: I've run out of tears.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________
Shinji was bored, the topic being discussed was Second Impact, apparently the UN had decided to reveal the true nature of that event, although missing out the part that man had caused it, the public were also told that it was because of the location that the devastation was so bad, that seemed to put to rest any fears that it could happen again. It was a class discussion, and the teacher had decided that Shinji should talk next.
Teacher: So Mr Ikari, what do you have to say about this revelation?
Shinji: I already knew.
Gasps were heard from around the classroom.
Kensuke: Why didn't you tell me?
Touji: Because it was classified.
Teacher: You too Mr Suzahara?
Touji: Yes sir, its one of the things Eva pilots have to know.
Teacher: Well, how did you feel Mr Ikari when you were told this.
Shinji: I can't remember, it was over a year ago, a lot more important things have happened since then.
The bell rang, it was lunch time.
Touji: Now's my chance to talk to her. Guys, I have to speak with Hikari.
Shinji: Okay.
Kensuke: Did you hear about him and Hikari?
Shinji: No, what happened?
Kensuke: Why do you think I'm asking you for?
Shinji: Sorry, anyway I've got my own problems?
Kensuke: Let me guess, a certain redhead that enjoys pissing Touji off.
Shinji: Yeah.
Kensuke: Want to talk about it?
Shinji: Nope.
Kensuke: Good, cause I don't want to hear it. But I do want to know more about Second Impact, there's more isn't there?
Shinji: I wonder what happened between Touji and Hikari?
Kensuke: Don't change the subject!
_________________________________________________________________________________________________
Outside, by the oak tree.
Touji: I'm sorry.
Hikari: No I'm the one that should be sorry, I know how much your sister means to you, what you went through last year.
Touji: I do you care about you alot, I was exhausted after the battle, I could barely remember where I lived, when I got home, I thought about Mari, I checked on her and then tried to get to sleep, I couldn't though until called you.
He embraced her, and he kissed her.
Kensuke: Aw, aint that cute.
He was holding his camera outside of the window, taping Touji and Hikari.
Shinji: It just brings tears to your eyes.
Touji notices them, and the camera.
Touji: What the... I'm gonna kill them!
HIkari: Huh.
Touji: They have been recording us.
Hikari turned red. Shinji and Kensuke could be seen laughing at the window. Before Touji had made up to the class room, they had shown the tape to half the class. When he entered the room, the boys gave him a standing ovation, while the girls just giggled amoungst themselves.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________
In Commander Ikaris office, a more serious matter was about to be discussed.
Langley: Hello Ikari, it has been quite a long time hasn't it.
Ikari: Indeed. I know why you are here.
Langley: I thought you might, I thought I may as well pay my respects before we depart.
Ikari: I can't allow you to take your daughter.
Langley: What?
Ikari: I still need her to pilot Unit 02.
Langley: You and I both know that she is not needed, that she is a worthless pilot.
Ikari: That is not true, there has been some significant improvement from her.
Langley: It doesn't matter, I have made up my mind, she will return with me.
Ikari: She won't.
Langley: How dare you decide what happens to my daughter.
Ikari: You will allow Major Katsuragi to formally adopt her.
Langley: And if I don't?
Ikari: I will release certain information that connects you to SEELE.
Langley: Damn you. What if I release similar information about you?
Ikari: The UNC already knows of my connection with SEELE, they also know that I was trying to stop them.
Langley was silent for a few moments. He was very angry.
Langley: Fine, I'll do it, but you will make sure that information is destroyed.
Ikari: I will, except for a single copy of course.
Langley turns around and marches out of the office. Ikari looks at his watch, picks up the phone and dials a number that he has never dialed before.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________
Lunch was nearly over, when Shinjis mobile rang, everyone in the class turned to look at him, except Touji, who was checking to make sure that his wasn't also ringing.
Shinji: Hello.
Ikari: (Over Phone) It is done.
Shinji: (Smiling) Thank you, I appreciate it.
Shinji hangs up the phone, after a few seconds all he realises that everyone was still staring at him.
Shinji: What?
The bell rang, lunch was over.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________
Misato picked the phone.
Misato: Hello.
Langley: (Over Phone) Something has come up, Asuka won't be leaving with me.
He hung up the phone. Misato stared at it for a minute. Then jumping and whooping for joy, she ran to Asukas room to tell her the good news.
To be continued...
_________________________________________________________________________________________________
This was a very awkward chapter to write, but I hope everyone enjoyed it. This is a turning point for Shinji and his relationships with his father and Asuka. And now two Omakes I thought up while writing this chapter, but don't think this will become a regular occurence.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________
Omake 1
Ikari: Who is it?
Shinji: (Over Intercom) Its me father.
Ikari: Come in.
Shinji opened the door and walked towards his fathers desk. An hour later...
Shinji: (Panting) I finally made it, father why the hell do you have such a big office?
Ikari: I need the exercise.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________
Omake 2
Shinji: Father, if you ever want me to forgive you, you have to make sure that he doesn't take Asuka away from me, and that doesn't mean that I want him dead
Ikari: I understand, I will do it.
Shinji: Thank you, father.
Shinji was about to walk away when...
Ikari: Shinji wait, I want to show you something.
Shinji: What is it father?
Ikari pressed a button on his desk, at the far end of the office, on the right hand, Shinji could see a hole appear, and then two parallel grooves appeared along the length of the office. Then spotlights illuminate the entire right side of the office to reveal...
Shinji: A bowling alley?
He turns to his father to see him wearing bowling shoes and a bowling glove, and holding a red bowling ball with 'The Man' written on it.
Ikari: So, do you wanna bowl a couple of frames?

Touji: I do you care about you alot, I was exhausted after the battle, I could barely remember where I lived, when I got home, I thought about Mari, I checked on her and then tried to get to sleep, I couldn't though until called you.
He embraced her, and he kissed her.
Kensuke: Aw, aint that cute.
He was holding his camera outside of the window, taping Touji and Hikari.
Shinji: It just brings tears to your eyes.
Touji notices them, and the camera.
Touji: What the... I'm gonna kill them!
HIkari: Huh.
Touji: They have been recording us.
Hikari turned red. Shinji and Kensuke could be seen laughing at the window. Before Touji had made up to the class room, they had shown the tape to half the class. When he entered the room, the boys gave him a standing ovation, while the girls just giggled amoungst themselves.

In Commander Ikaris office, a more serious matter was about to be discussed.
Langley: Hello Ikari, it has been quite a long time hasn't it.
Ikari: Indeed. I know why you are here.
Langley: I thought you might, I thought I may as well pay my respects before we depart.
Ikari: I can't allow you to take your daughter.
Langley: What?
Ikari: I still need her to pilot Unit 02.
Langley: You and I both know that she is not needed, that she is a worthless pilot.
Ikari: That is not true, there has been some significant improvement from her.
Langley: It doesn't matter, I have made up my mind, she will return with me.
Ikari: She won't.
Langley: How dare you decide what happens to my daughter.
Ikari: You will allow Major Katsuragi to formally adopt her.
Langley: And if I don't?
Ikari: I will release certain information that connects you to SEELE.
Langley: Damn you. What if I release similar information about you?
Ikari: The UNC already knows of my connection with SEELE, they also know that I was trying to stop them.
Langley was silent for a few moments. He was very angry.
Langley: Fine, I'll do it, but you will make sure that information is destroyed.
Ikari: I will, except for a single copy of course.
Langley turns around and marches out of the office. Ikari looks at his watch, picks up the phone and dials a number that he has never dialed before.

Lunch was nearly over, when Shinjis mobile rang, everyone in the class turned to look at him, except Touji, who was checking to make sure that his wasn't also ringing.
Shinji: Hello.
Ikari: (Over Phone) It is done.
Shinji: (Smiling) Thank you, I appreciate it.
Shinji hangs up the phone, after a few seconds all he realises that everyone was still staring at him.
Shinji: What?
The bell rang, lunch was over.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________
Misato picked the phone.
Misato: Hello.
Langley: (Over Phone) Something has come up, Asuka won't be leaving with me.
He hung up the phone. Misato stared at it for a minute. Then jumping and whooping for joy, she ran to Asukas room to tell her the good news.
To be continued...
_________________________________________________________________________________________________
This was a very awkward chapter to write, but I hope everyone enjoyed it. This is a turning point for Shinji and his relationships with his father and Asuka. And now two Omakes I thought up while writing this chapter, but don't think this will become a regular occurence.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________
Omake 1
Ikari: Who is it?
Shinji: (Over Intercom) Its me father.
Ikari: Come in.
Shinji opened the door and walked towards his fathers desk. An hour later...
Shinji: (Panting) I finally made it, father why the hell do you have such a big office?
Ikari: I need the exercise.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________
Omake 2
Shinji: Father, if you ever want me to forgive you, you have to make sure that he doesn't take Asuka away from me, and that doesn't mean that I want him dead
Ikari: I understand, I will do it.
Shinji: Thank you, father.
Shinji was about to walk away when...
Ikari: Shinji wait, I want to show you something.
Shinji: What is it father?
Ikari pressed a button on his desk, at the far end of the office, on the right hand, Shinji could see a hole appear, and then two parallel grooves appeared along the length of the office. Then spotlights illuminate the entire right side of the office to reveal...
Shinji: A bowling alley?
He turns to his father to see him wearing bowling shoes and a bowling glove, and holding a red bowling ball with 'The Man' written on it.
Ikari: So, do you wanna bowl a couple of frames?
