The story is a Star Trek
the next generation (before the movies) Evangelion crossover and it
strays from the Eva story line a bit. It splits off right after the
last angel is killed. The angels in my story have a different origin
to they are an offshoot of the Q. But that's the only change in that
regard. Now for the story it takes place in the 24th century world of
star trek, earth recovered after Second impact basically. Third
impact never took place neither did instrumentality. After the last
angel another scroll turned up (mysteries but its a safe bet Q had
something to do with it) basically a prophecy stating that if events
in the Dead Sea scrolls took place that another angel attack is going
to happen and before Instrumentality can take place all the angels
have to be destroyed. So Ikari under authority of SEELE had the
Evangelion and the pilots along with certain NERV personal
cryogenically frozen. So Ikari is woken up a year prior to the first
attack and had to explain it all to the federation and star fleet for
approval who after allot of convincing finally believed him enough to
warrant the reinstatement of NERV under the condition that it is done
under star fleets watch so they bring in Captain Picard to serve as a
overseer of the operation.

Log Supplemental
The Enterprise has been ordered back to earth
in the middle of trade agreements with the Bajorans. The Boesman and
Archangel have taken the place of the Enterprise at the talks. I
would have felt better if I was actually told why the Enterprise had
been pulled off the assignment and now given permission to break the
warp drive "speed limit". Thankfully though I am not the
only one expressing such concerns.
In the briefing room at the
rear of the bridge the key crew assembled for a briefing from their
captain hoping he could shed some light on the situation. But alas,
even Captain Picard held no answers. "All I know is that an
incident on earth has caused Star Fleet command to recall the
Enterprise." said Picard as plainly as possible hoping that the
crew would understand.
"Is it possible that there might
be some kind of intruder infiltrating Star Fleet command that caused
them to want their most trusted ship and crew back to help find the
infiltrator. " Deanna Troi asked.
"Possible but we
won't be sure until we reach earth counselor." Responded Picard.
"What's our ETA till earth." He asked his science officer
commander Data
"At our current speed of warp 9.2 it will
be 2 hours 37 minutes and 17 seconds till we reach earth." Said
the android.
"Good, and the weapons status Lieutenant
Worf? I want to be prepared for the worst." Picard asked the
large Klingon.
The large security officer smiled "Weapons
are full functional, sir. We are prepare for any thing." he said
in a low rumble.
Picard smiled a bit Worf always seemed to
look forward to a fight. "Excellent Lieutenant. If there is
nothing else than your all dismissed." Picard said, standing,
tugging down his uniform top and motioned to the door to indicate
that the meeting was over. Every one took off to take their duty
post, while Picard took to his ready room.
The next two hours
went by rather slowly. Picard, not able to get any work done in his
ready room took to the bridge only to end up pacing around the
bridge. "You know, pacing around the bridge isn't going to make
things go any faster sir." Deanna said with a wide smile across
her face, almost laughing at the captain's impatience.
"I
know counselor but I am just" Picard started only to be
interrupted by the Counselor.
"You're just worried about
what's happening, but your actions are making some of the less
experienced crew nervous. And that isn't too good for moral you
know." Interrupted the Counselor finishing his sentence. "Or
is there another reason why you're so anxious about returning to
earth?" She inquired but never got her answer, for she had
sensed a presence, a very powerful one at that. What scared her to
most about it was that when she sensed this presence one letter shoot
through her mind. Q.
Just then the bridge was bathed in the
bright white light, which was accompanied by the appearance of the
omnipotent being known only as Q. He stood in front of the view
screen, this time not wearing the usual Star Fleet attire. He was
dressed in a black two-piece uniform that had a rank on the collar,
which Picard didn't recognize. What struck Picard as odd were the
white gloves and tinted GLASSES that Q was wearing. He was also
humming some song that Picard had never heard before. Picard had had
enough. Showing his rage toward this creature he half yelled "WHAT
THE HELL DO YOU WANT Q!? I have no time for another one of your
games." Almost wincing at using the word games, for what happed
the last time he had said it out of rage. Picard had had been forced
to sit on the bridge while his crew fought some strange animal things
in some far off world of Q's creating.
"Zankoku na tenshi
no thesis Madobe...huh what was that Picard sorry I just heard this
catchy tune and couldn't get it out of my head." Q pushed up his
glasses and then the bridge filled with the sound of Cruel Angel's
Thesis. This seemed only to enrage the Captain even further.
"Cut
that out Q!" He shouted his voice not quite expressing the anger
he was feeling.
"Your no fun Picard" Q snapped his
fingers and the music quit " You need to settle down now would
it hurt if you let go once and awhile." Q said walking around
the bridge a bit ending up standing in front of a rather enraged
Worf.
"Captain permission to clear to bridge."
Demanded Worf looking rather menacing standing behind Q with a look
that could kill.
Q ignored the antics of the over adrenaline
security officer and took a seat in the Captain's chair. "Very
good Worf I see you've been working on your vocabulary. Very
comfortable mon capitaine but I need to talk to you in private."
With that Q snapped his fingers again and Q and Picard disappeared
from the bridge, only to reaper in Picard's ready room.
Picard
found himself sitting behind his desk and for a change Q was in one
of the seats across from him. "What do you want Q, and make it
fast." Picard said with haste.
"It's not that easy
Jean-Luc. Human kind is about to be tested again and it's not by the
continuum this time." Q said with the straightest face Picard
had ever seen him with. Q continued "I don't know if you all the
events that transpired on your planet some 400 odd years ago, but in
a nutshell an extremely powerful alien species that considered
themselves omnipotent messengers from God came down to your planet
earth with intentions to destroy it. Do to the actions of some rather
clever humans their omnipotence could be used against them. And its
about to happen again, only this time you don't have no 200 foot
purple humanoid robot to protect your helpless little planet." Q
said in a plain matter of fact voice, which sent shudders through out
Picard's body.
"We've held off attacks from the Borg,
Klingons, and the Romulans. I am more than sure we can handle this.
If you're telling the truth and this isn't another one of your games.
Which I find highly unlikely." Picard responded, with a hint of
distaste in his voice.
"You don't understand do you
captain? These creatures are as far beyond you as I am. You don't
stand a chance. But if you don't believe me ask that lonesome
creature Guanine, she'll tell you the same. Any way I just I just
wanted to warn you head of time. Technically I shouldn't be here, but
I considered you as a friend Jean-Luc, even if you don't feel the
same of me. If humanity can survive once more and resist the
temptation of Instrumentality, well, that will cause a big stir in
the continuum. I would also win me a bunch of bets. Well adieu mon
capitaine." With that Q vanished, leaving Picard confused as
ever. He thought to him self (I'll have to pay a visit to Guinen
before we reach earth.) Then he just sat back and closed his eyes for
a bit.
***
Less
than an hour away from earth Picard decided to visit Guinen like Q
had suggested. He made his way to ten forward and was pleased to see
her standing behind the bar like usual. Picard smiled and entered.
Guinen then returned his smile. He made his way to the bar. "
Well, what brings you here Captain? And what would you like?"
But she had already knew and set down a cup of hot Earl Grey tea. He
accepted the drink and took a sip.
"I am here because of
something Q said to me." Picard said taking another sip of tea -
amazed at how much it tasted like the tea his mother used to make.
"He said something about some omnipotent aliens attacking earth
about 400 years, ago and yet I've never heard of it. I was"
Picard went silent when he saw her reaction to his words. She stood
there staring at him; wide eyed a look of dread crossed her face. He
had never seen her like this before. "Guinen? What's wrong?"
he asked.
She snapped out of her trance at the sound of
Picard's voice. "Nothing and every thing. I knew some day I'd
have to recount those events once again, but I never thought it would
be to you Jean-Luc. I'm glad it's you though. Well were to begin hmm.
Whatever Q told you was true. I don't think even he would lie about
this." She walked around the bar and sat next to Picard, then
started her story. "It was 2000, the beginning of the 21st
century. I was on earth at the time still studying humans, listening
like when I first met you, when a large object impacted in
Antarctica. Then for reasons I don't know it exploded causing second
impact, changing the eco system and so forth." She paused and
took a drink of water, and continued, "Then 15 years later
another alien showed up. Of course they didn't call them aliens, they
called them "angels", and the one landing in Antarctica was
called "Adam"
Picard interrupted "Angels? Adam?
Q said they considered themselves Messengers of god but this is
ridiculous."
Guinen ignored his interruption and
continued "Using bio-robotic androids that were a clone of the
first "angel Adam", called Evangelion. And using 14 year
old children to pilot them, Earth managed to defeat all of the angel,
avoiding the destruction of humanity."
Picard was shocked
that none of this had ever shown up in his study of history. Then
remembering one last thing Q had said "What about
Instrumentality?" Picard asked.
Guinen smiled and simply
said, "I don't know all the details about it but from what I do
know it was meant to evolve mankind. Of coarse it never happened or
shall I say it didn't successfully happen. Which may explain how
earth recovered to its state prior to second impact." She sighed
and looked out the massive windows of the lounge.
Picard could
tell this was hard for her to bring up. "Guinen I'm sorry to put
you through this I can tell these are painful memories for you to
bring up." Picard said.
"It's fine I need to get it
out. I can't get them out of my head. Those poor kids forced to
suffer time and time again. It was simply horrible how he used them,
that heartless bastard Ikari. Even Q has more compassion then him."
She said trying to regain some composure.
Picard was shocked.
He had never heard Guinen actually hate someone besides Q before She
doesn't even hate the Borg although she does hold a lot of contempt
for them. Picard spoke again " How do you know so much about
what happened back then?"
She replied, "I use to
listen for the people who work at NERV, I was kind of a
counselor."
Picard was lost for words but he had to tell
her and needed to know. "Q also told me that these "angels"
are going to return, and that this time there is nothing that we can
do to stop them. Is this true?"
Guinen managed a very
weak smile and said, "I don't know. I never had a look at the
Dead Sea scrolls, which for told those events. But I do know that
earth alone can't beat them. Not with all the star ships in the
galaxy."
"Ah yes the dead sea scrolls I read an
article about them once but how was a human from such a long time ago
for tell such events." Picard asked perplexed about this
revelation.
Guinen's smiled widened "Not even I have all
the answers Jean-Luc some things are better left as a mystery. But if
I were to guess I would ask Q next time he drops by it wouldn't
surprise me if he had something to do with it or some other Q. Now if
you'll excuse me I've got a bar to run." She then got up and
returned to the bar. Picard took this as an opportunity to inform his
staff.
***
Back
in the briefing room the Enterprises key officers assembled once
more. Picard had just informed them of what Q had told him. He then
told them Guinen's story. Needless to say they were shocked.
"Why
aren't there any records of any of this?" asked Worf.
"I
believe that I can answer that Lieutenant." Data cut in "In
2030 the 3rd World War had caused many history files to be erased do
the detonation of multiple thermal nuclear devices. The EMP would
have eradicated any unshielded systems. In fact records had been
erased to 1992, so anything within that time. Since paper files still
exited up to 2012 a record still existed. In 2012 the files had been
completely transferred to computers." Explained Data.
Counselor
Troi decided to add to the conversation "But surly there had to
have been some kind of record that survived. Not everything can be
erased. Unless there was some kind of cover up."
"That
would seem to fit the era." Worf grumbled.
"Be that
as it may counselor, its must be true. Guinen wouldn't lie to me. And
Q's story only backs it up to this point. Further more, we aren't
here to discuss whether what happened, really happened or not. I just
thought that it would be beneficial for you to know. Now whether it's
going to happen again or not remains to be seen. We are only a half
hour away from earth. I want heavy sensor sweeps of the entire
sector. Don't leave any stone left unturned people. Are there any
more questions?" Picard asked.
"Captain how would we
find something that Star Fleet hasn't?" Riker asked.
"Just
a precaution number one." Geordie motioned he had some thing to
add "La Forge?" the captain acknowledged.
La Forge
spoke up "Its nothing important but I was just curious about
these robots that were used to fight off the "angels". Did
Guinen tell you any thing about them?" Inquired Geordie.
Picard
smiled at his inquisitive chief engineer "She had said they were
called Evangelion. And they weren't so much robots as they were
biological. To be precise, bio-robotic androids which in essence
clones copies of the first "angel Adam". And for some
reason only 14 year old children could pilot them. That is all that I
really know other than the fact that in piloting the Evas the pilots
were exposed to extreme mental stress. Does that suit your curiosity
Commander?" La Forge nodded yes.
Riker spoke up "Sir
I know that we can trust Guinen in that these events really did
happen. But to trust Q in the fact that they might happen again seems
unwise. For all we know this just could be another one of his
games."
Picard shook his head "I know number One,
but I really think that Q meant it this time. But you are right this
could be another one of his games. That's just another reason to be
on guard. Is that all?" Picard waited "Well then,
dismissed." Picard said, and rose to leave. The rest of the key
crew followed suit, and returned to their duty posts.
***
Back
on Earth a meeting of a different kind was taking place. Two men sat
in a large office far under the city formally named Tokyo-3, now just
called Tokyo. "I thought things are going well. What is the
problem Ikari?" asked the older man sitting in front of a large
desk dominating the large room.
"Those Federation
bureaucrats are bringing in one of their own to oversee the project.
And from what I've heard he can't be threatened and can't be bought.
He could hinder our plans." Ikari said, irritated.
"Who
is this man?" Fustskie asked.
"Captain Jean-Luc
Picard. What's worse is that he him self is a bureaucrat." Ikari
said, not moving from behind his desk.
"Picard? I
remember reading something about him after I was woken up from
cryostats. The man is a hero; he's saved this planet and the
Federation many times. It's only fitting that the Federation would
want him to oversee the operation." Fustskie said amused by the
idea.
"Maybe, but I don't trust him. Not at all."
said Ikari, rising from his desk to head out the door with his former
second in command. "Lets prep for the arrival of the good
Captain, shall we?" Ikari continued while walking out the
door.
"I don't understand. If you don't trust him then
why do you insist on having his crew wake up the pilots?" asked
Fustskie, puzzled by the commander's actions.
"You know
the old adage: "keep your friends close and your enemies even
closer"? Well that's what I'm doing. And don't worry so much,
it's all part of my plan." Ikari answered, grinning
wickedly.
"And of the Evas?" asked Fustskie,
stepping into the newly installed turbo lift.
"All three
Evangelion are online and functioning perfectly. All is as planned.
The first of the next 12 angels should be arriving soon." said
Ikari, still smiling as he stepped into the turbo lift. Their
conversation ended with the quiet shutting of the doors.
***
The
Enterprise finally reached earth much to the dismay of the main crew,
whom half expected the planet to under siege by monsters aliens or
"angels". The Enterprise and crew were welcomed in a hero's
fashion because; as it was once said "It is always an honor to
have the flagship and pride of the Federation and Starfleet return
home." They had just finished docking at the space dock when
Admiral Hansen hailed the Enterprise.
"Welcome back home
Captain Picard. It's nice to see you're well. I'll be beaming aboard
in ten minutes to brief you and your key crew, understood?"
Ordered the older man.
Picard responded, "Yes and thank
you admiral. See you in ten." Smiling he turned to his key crew
who taken up their positions on the bridge instead of being in their
duty sections and said "Well, things seemed to be going good so
far. Maybe we went over board a bit. Although it is better to be safe
then sorry." He stated.
"You're right, Q doesn't
just show up for no reason." A straight-faced Riker continued,
"I have a feeling that this time it won't be fun. At least not
this time." He said with an icy edge to his words.
Ten
minutes later they were all back in the briefing room, only this time
it wasn't Picard doing the talking. It was admiral Hansen. "Well
I suppose you are all wondering why the Flagship of Starfleet has
been called back to earth." Said the Admiral.
Riker
decided to respond to the Admiral's rhetorical question "No we
weren't Sir, not in the slightest." Riker smiled and broke into
a broad grin as he saw that almost every one, including the Admiral,
was smiling at the remark.
"Right Commander, anyway, a
problem has arisen and we need the most qualified crew in Star Fleet
temporarily stationed back here until the problem has been rectified.
Not all of the Enterprise's crew will be reassigned since we have no
intention of taking the Enterprise out of action for the duration of
the assignment. Commander Riker, you are here by temporally prompted
to the rank of Captain and given temporary command of the Enterprise.
Captain Picard, you will take command of an off shoot branch of Star
Fleet called NERV." At hearing that name the command crew let
out a small collective gasp. If Admiral Hansen heard this he ignored
it and continued, "The rest of your command crew will be at your
disposal captain. If you want them transferred then they will be, if
not they'll stay aboard the Enterprise resuming their normal duties.
You have One week to move any of your belongings that you may need on
this assignment. In the mean time the Enterprises will be restaffed.
Remember, you may be here for a while, take that into account.
Housing will be set up in the proximity of NERV operations base for
convenience. Captain, I expect a report of who you want to be
assigned with you, and don't be afraid to take as many as you
want."
Riker interrupted and said "Actually Captain
I'd like to give some of the juinor officers a chance to further
their skills a bit. It will help them in the long run to get more
practicle training in the command operations of a star ship, and it
would be kind of nice to see some new faces on the bridge.".
Riker chuckled at his little joke.
Dispite the joke Picard
replied with a straight face "Actually number one that's what I
was going to. Admiral I would like the rest of my command crew
assigned with me. As for other personnel, I think any technicians you
wish to assign will be fine, Sir." Picard said.
"Well
then. I'll get the 'paperwork' done as soon as possible." said
the Admiral, getting up to leave. Halfway to the door he stopped and
turned back to the command crew of the Enterprise to say "Oh I
almost forgot. You'll be receiving a few cryo-tubes from earth base
two on request by the man you'll be working with. He said that he
would like you to wake them up and take care of them for him for the
time being until you arrive there." The admiral said giving
Picard and his staff a sideward glance.
"Just who are in
the tubes any ways, sir?" Picard asked puzzled.
"I
have no clue captain but good luck. And again welcome home." The
Admiral replied, and then left.
The room was silent at the
news. It was no more than five seconds after the admiral had left
when the bridge called the captain "Sir sorry to bother you, but
earth base two has requested to beam something aboard. Should I
comply?"
Picard tapped his combadge and said
"Affirmative. Beam them to sickbay. Picard out. Worf, I want you
and a security compliment to stand guard, understood." Picard
said receiving a nod from the Klingon, then turned to Crusher.
"Doctor Crusher, inform me once you are ready to awaken our new
guessed. As for the rest of you take the opportunity to get some rest
and start making preparations to leave, understood." Taking the
slight bobbing of heads as a yes sir, Picard stood and said, "Well
then, dismissed." With that the crew once more filed out of the
room, heading off to make the necessary preparations.
***
An
hour later Picard and counselor Troi were called down to sickbay by
Doctor Crusher. Once they reached the doors there were two security
officers standing guard. They seemed to stiffen up as the captain
walked by. At one time Picard had found it uncomfortable but as time
went on he became used to this and some times enjoys seeing that
response. Picard walked passed the security officers and entered
sickbay. As soon as he passed and the two let out a sigh of relief,
Deanna smiled to her self, bemused by their response. Although no
longer tense, they were a little embarrassed that the counselor saw
this. She too just walked by them and into sickbay with the Captain.
The two let out another sigh, looked at each other and
chuckled.
Inside sickbay Doctor Crusher greeted Picard and
Deanna. "Well Jean- Luc, it took you long enough. I called you
20 minutes ago." She said it with a smile, playing with him. She
loved to watch him make excuses for keeping her waiting.
"Sorry
Doctor, but I was detained on the bridge while Data tried to tell
another round of jokes." Picard said, grimacing at the memories
of some of them.
"Well I should be glad you made it at
all." Crusher said. Picard smiled. She always knew how to make
him feel better.
"How are your patients doctor?"
Picard asked getting to the reason for his visit.
"Come
see for yourselves. I still don't understand why they had to be
brought here when the med facilities on earth are far better equipped
to handle this." said the doctor as she led them to another
room. The room was darkened a bit but Picard could still make things
out. In fact, right away he could make out the large form of Worf
standing by the entrance. Inside the room he could make out the forms
of the four bodies on the bio beds. Upon entering the doctor
increased the light and continued, "They all seem to have some
problems that I found in the dethawing process. The older one had
liver damage probably, from drinking a lot of alcohol. I've repaired
it but she'll have to give up drinking. As for the children
physically they are all fine but some of their brain wave scans were
rather disturbing. I think psychological therapy is need. Deanna, I'm
sorry, seems you have your work cut out for you." She then
turned to Picard "Do you want me to revive them
Captain?"
"Proceed." Picard replied. Worf
stopped leaning against the wall and stood prepared for any thing
that might go on. Do to his opponents Worf had not called in extra
security he was confident that he could handle a couple of kids and a
frail women. He got ready nonetheless.
Doctor Crusher walked
up to the boy in the first bio bed and pressed the hyposray to his
neck with a quite hiss. The doctor had already administered the same
thing to the girl with the long red hair on the bed next to him. Soon
each of her patients received the same treatment. They were all
starting to sir. Then Deanna was bombarded with a flood of emotions,
strong emotions, feelings of hate, pain, suffering, loneliness, and
fear. She almost lost conciseness from the barrage, but she
eventually managed to raise her mental barriers, cutting her mind off
from the people around her, for the time being at least. The boy was
the first to open his eyes. At first he just looked up and muttered
something about another unfamiliar ceiling. He then sat up and looked
around, almost shock at his surroundings. He then looked over at his
friends who too had just woken up. Sitting up they all had the same
reactions as the boy, all except for the blue haired girl, she didn't
show any sign of emotion at all. The boy was the first to address the
situation
"W where are we? What's going on? This isn't
the hospital I'm used to." He said, trying to keep from making
eye contact with any body.
Picard spoke up "I am Captain
Jean-Luc Picard. You are on board the Federation star ship
Enterprise, sickbay to be specific. Welcome to the 24th century uh
Mr.?" Picard stated.
"Shinji Ikari sir, what do you
mean the 24th century? We're in the future?" Shinji stammered
his eyes went wide not being able to believe such a thing was
possible.
"What are you stupid?!" The red hair girl
spoke up "There's no way this is the future. This bald headed
moron is just telling some sick joke. Moron!" said the Red
trying to hide her own fear of what was going on by taking it out on
Shinji.
Picard's brow furrowed a bit he may have been bald for
a few years it didn't mean he had to like it. "Now see here."
Picard said before getting interrupted.
"Asuka that
wasn't very kind! Settle down now." Yelled the purple haired
woman taking charge of the situation and her subordinates.
"WHAT?!?!
WHY SHOULD I?!" Asuka yelled. The four star fleet officers were
in a state of shock. None were able to say a thing to the events
transpiring. They just stood there, blinking in surprise.
"Quiet,
all of you. Can you not see the Captain has some thing more to say?"
Rei said in a flat tone of voices.
"Thank you. I know
that this is a shock to you all, but it is true. For reasons that of
which have not presented them selves at this time, you four had been
cryogenically frozen. But rest assured that every thing will be
fine." Picard said trying to defuse the situation the best he
could. Sighing in relief at getting his desired results, the four
newcomers did quiet down all contemplating the situation.
Misato
was the first to speak "So what's to become of us then? Why? Why
was this done to us? Why did we have to leave behind our friends, our
family, and our lives, Captain? You may be able to take this in
stride but we can't, this is not something we can take lightly."
Pleaded Misato.
Deanna took the opportunity to speak "I
know this will be hard for you but you'll have to trust us to help
you. It will take time but I have a feeling you four will come to
enjoy the 24th century." Said the counselor.
Picard
cleared his throat "As for the reason you have been brought back
now, in this time is from what I know is the same reason me and my
crew are here. The reason why you are on my ship is because the
current commander of NERV requested that you be awakened and kept on
the ship for the time being, while we do our best to try and get you
acquainted with the 24th century. For now let me introduce you to my
crew here." He pointed to the doctor and said, "This is
doctor Beverly Crusher my chief medical officer."
Misato
cut in with a slight frown and said, "You know you look a lot
like a friend of mine, she was a doctor to." To this Crusher
forced a smile onto her face.
Picard continued motioning
Consoler Troi "This is the ships Counselor, Deanna Troi."
Picard decided not to let them know that she was an empath for fear
of how they might react to the fact she could sense what they were
feeling. He then motioned to Worf "and this is my Chief of
Security, Lieutenant Worf." Worf's appearance had caused the
four to gasp. Picard smiled and added "Worf is a Klingon. Not
human that is. You see the federation is made up of many planets and
different alien species."
Troi broke in "So what are
your names, I mean its only fair that we know who you are. Since we
already know Mr. Ikari's name. How about yours?" She said
looking at the red haired girl.
Trying to muster up some of
her former smug attitude she said "Well I am shocked that my
fame hasn't preceded me into the future but it's to be expected. I am
Asuka Langley Sohryuu the best of the Eva pilots. I am the second
child and pilot of Evangelion Unit-02."
Deanna turned to
Rei and asked, "What's your name?"
"Rei
Ayanami." She said it with no emotion in her voice at all.
Deanna was a bit surprised to see her eye color but in her star fleet
carrier she has seen more disturbing things.
Finally she tuned
to Misato "Oh my turn huh, I am Misato Katsuragi former Major
and NERV's operations director." Replied the Major
mournfully.
"Well now. Again welcome on board the
Enterprise and I do hope you enjoy your stay here. Now I must take my
leave of you as I have some things that have to be taken care of
right now so I will leave you in the capable hands of Counselor Troi
and Lieutenant Worf." With that Picard turned around and
left.
As the doctor ran some scans of them counselor Troi
lowered her mental barriers in order to get an idea of their mental
conditions. One of the first things she sensed was fear and
rightfully so being in a new place and time with total strangers
would do that. She shifted her attention onto Shinji. Shinji's
emotions were erratic. She was able to tell off the bat that he had a
sever confidence problem for starters among other things. Maybe if he
hung around Riker or Worf for a while it would help him, maybe even
Geordie. Asuka's emotions were also very erratic. She had abandonment
issues, so she tries to push people away before they can hurt her.
She was going to have to sit down with her for a while. Rei's
emotions on the other hand were well ordered much like a Vulcan, but
she seemed either unaware of her emotions or just chose not to
acknowledge them. Deanna smiled inwardly and thought she needs to
spend some time with Data. It not only could help her to discover her
emotions, but also help Data do the same. Feeling rather good for
having possibly solved problems of the first three, Troi felt rather
confidant that Misato's would be just as easy. Searching her emotions
she found like the others a feeling of loneliness among all else and
concluded that a few friends may help her out a bit. Troi knew that
her and Beverly could do that themselves. (Odd though I have never
felt this type of emotional turmoil in any one before. How can four
people who are close to some degree be so lonely? This type of trauma
is rarely heard of in this day and age.) Deanna thought to her
self.
"Well you all get a clean bill of health. You
three" the doctor said, pointing to the three Eva pilots "Get
some rest. And you " Shaking a finger at Misato "need rest
to but no more drinking. Understood?" They all nodded their
heads; the pilots more enthused than Misato. Crusher smiled "Well
go get out of my sick bay I've got some work to do." She said
chuckling to herself, turning and leaving the med lab.
"Well
who's hungry?" Deanna asked at that they all responded in some
manner Shinji simply nodded. Rei replied with a "Yes ma'am."
Misato said that she could use a good drink.
Asuka's reasons
was a bit more vocal "Of course we're hungry we've been sleeping
for a few hundred years! You better have some good German
food!"
Deanna was simply said "Good Worf will take
you to ten forward for something to eat while I take care of your
sleeping arrangements. Ok? Okay." Worf started to protest, but
was stop by what Deanna whispered in his ear "Remember, you owe
me from our last poker game. Unless you would like me to collect in
some other way." At a loss for word Worf could only let out a
very loud grumble. She then waved to the new arrivals and left
sickbay.
"Come with me." Worf bellowed. Puzzled at
his tone they got off their perspective beds. On the way out Worf
found his security detail still posted and dismissed them.
On
the way down the corridor Shinji was the first to speak "Does
everybody in the 24th century speak Japanese or only you
people?"
Worf looking straightforward "No." he
said curtly. "The universal translator just makes it so you hear
Japanese." Worf said annoyed by having to play baby sitter. They
took a corner and piled into a turbo lift. "Ten forward"
Worf shouted to the computer and the lift began to move.
Shinji
again asked another question, being obviously very curious and trying
to get a handle somewhat on the situation "What is the
Federation any way?" But before Worf could say a thing Asuka
broke in.
"Why are you so curious any way 3rd child? What
are you stupid? If he thought it was important for us to know then he
would tell us idiot." Shouted Asuka.
Worf winced, as did
Shinji. The fact that Shinji never stood up for him self or so it
seemed really didn't sit well with Worf after all a Klingon boy
would have "handled" the situation differently but since
Shinji was human and humans tended to be less "violent"
it was understandable. Worf decided it would be better to explain him
self as so Shinji wouldn't be ragged on as much. "Actually
I just didn't think to tell you all. That's all. I am security, not
public relations. I will make sure you have full access to any
information you would like to know." Worf said. Shinji nodded
and remained quiet.
Upon arriving at ten forward the group
found an empty table in the far corner, in front of the giant windows
that dominated the far section of the lounge which offer a great view
of Earth. Worf was glad to see that the lounge wasn't over crowded
last thing Worf wanted to hear was comments on his playing baby
sitter. As soon as they sat down a waiter came to the table, ready to
take their orders.
"So what can I get for you all?"
Said the young Bajoran waiter. All four of Worf's guessed stared at
the Bajoran.
"You must excuse them, they're not really
used to seeing any other species except for other humans and of
coarse me. I will have a glass of prune juice. Where is Guanine?"
Worf asked in hopes of off loading his guest on her till Deanna came
for them.
"She's off right now. What would you like sir."
He asked Shinji, without losing the smile on this face.
"I
umm." Shinji said thinking.
Asuka spoke up "Well,
the human vegetable tries to make up his infantile little mind. I
want a err what do you got?"
"Ugh I can see this is
going to be an all day event." Worf griped, leaning back in his
chair.
After finishing off their respective meals, that is
once they found out that they could have any thing they wanted,
Shinji and Rei had took seats closer to the windows and just stared
out in to space. Asuka had walked over to a game of three-dimensional
chess and was learning to play from the winner of the game. The loser
walked off. Worf had been talking to Misato over a couple of glasses
of synthetic beer. She wasn't able to tell the difference. That is
until about the tenth, after which she was still stone cold sober.
When Worf explained what it was exactly she looked him with a gaze
that made the Klingon shudder and demanded real alcohol. Deanna came
into ten forward and sat down with the two adults "How goes it
Worf?" Deanna asked Worf.
"Well, but I would rather
be at my post on the bridge and not playing tour guide." Worf
grumbled.
"But you are so good at it." Misato said,
teasing the large Klingon, happy to see him reacting the same way
Shinji used to when she teased him.
"Can I go now
Counselor?" growled Worf.
Misato moved in for the kill
"Come on if you stay maybe I'll give you a kiss for your
trouble. And if your lucky maybe more." She said
seductively.
Worf clenched his jaw and let out a growl. "You
couldn't handle me Major." Worf said in a matter of fact tone.
Misato almost fell over in her chair laughing. Even Deanna was
cracking up at his discomforted.
"Maybe you should take
her up on that Worf, probably get you to loosen up." Deanna
added.
Growling again Worf stood up said "Excuses me
children I've got better things to do than to be made fun of."
and left.
"He seems to be a nice guy er alien or what
ever, but deffinetly fun to tease even more so than Shinji."
Misato said, taking another drink of a scotch whiskey one of the
waiters brought, happy that she is now getting the buzz that didn't
accompany the fake beer. Deanna found herself staring at her, puzzled
by her odd sense of humor "What?" Misato asked.
Deanna
smiled "It's nothing. Oh, I've got your room assignments. If
you'd like I can take you to your rooms." Misato nodded and
called out for the children and left with the counselor, but not with
out the rest of her whiskey.
***
A
few kilometers away in space a creature is made its way to earth from
its birthing place on earth's moon. It stopped sensing another being
like its self and changed its course to see what it was. Only to find
it's self, face to face with the hull of the Enterprise. Still
sensing the other it searches to find a way into the ship, while
trying to make mental contact with the other being.
***
Just
out side of ten forward the group of Misato Katsuragi, Shinji Ikari,
Asuka Sohryuu, and Rei Ayanami followed Counselor Troi towards their
temporary quarters. Misato and Deanna traded stories of their youth.
Asuka was insulting Shinji while Rei followed quietly behind, as if
in sync both Deanna and Rei stopped at once. Deanna was sensing a
presence one of which she had never sensed before. Rei on the other
hand felt it in her mind as if it where trying to search her
thoughts.
"Who are you?" She mentally asked
it
"..." Nothing.
"What do you want?"
She asked in her mind again.
"..." Still nothing
It
then began to probe more deeply into her mind. Rei was helpless. She
managed to clutch her head in pain and let out a small scream before
passing out. The others quickly ran to the fallen form of Rei
Ayanami. "Rei?" Misato and Shinji yelled in unison, both
knelling over her while Asuka Stood by her and muttered
"Shiest".
Deanna on the other hand kept a level head
and slapped her communicator pin "Troi to sick bay, medical
emergencies deck ten forward!" With in minutes Doctor Crusher
arrived with two of her aids and a stretcher. Misato and Shinji
quickly got out of their way so they could work. Doctor Crusher
scanned the patient with her tricorder.
"She's gone into
neroleptic shock, give her twenty CCs of hyrocorizen." She
ordered one of her aids and she did as she was told. Scanning again,
Crusher's face lightened a little "Get her on the stretcher and
to sick bay. She'll be just fine, don't worry." She said,
turning to Misato and Shinji managing a smile.
***
In
sick bay Misato, Shinji, Asuka, and Deanna watched as the doctor did
her work. "I've stabilized her condition. I don't know what
caused her condition, but what ever it was it causes a massive
synapse failure. She'll be out for a few hours but she'll recover
well enough. So." she was interrupted by the sound of the red
alert sirens. Commander Riker's voice rang out over the ships
comm.
"INTRUDER ALERT! DECK 12 SICK BAY ALL PERSONAL TAKE
COVER! SECURITY REPORT TO SICK BAY ASAP! CAPTIAN PICARD REPORT TO
SICK BAY!" Crusher thought (what the hell!) She then turned
around and a creature appeared out of nowhere. It looked human but
was about 7 feet tall. It had long white hair all the way down its
back and two angelic wings. Its face was a normal human face, but it
(or his?) eyes were red. It wore only white robes that were similar
to ceremonial Vulcan robes. It started to move towards the
unconscious form of Rei. Just before it reached her bed Worf, Picard
and a dozen security officers busted through the door. The creature
merrily ignored their intrusion and took another step towards the bio
bed, only to have Worf step in front of him in a rather threatening
pose.
"Not another step or I'll shoot." Worf said
leveling his phaser at its chest. Both stood eye to eye, but the
creature just raised its hand and Worf was sent flying across the
room from some unseen force. "What the hell was that!?"
Worf yelled, slowly getting up, pride more hurt than any thing
else.
The color had drained from Misato's face. She knew what
it was and said so "That was a A.T. field! It's, it's an Angel!"
Shinji and Asuka were paralyzed with fear knowing that with no EVA
there was no chance in hell of surviving.
Picard had had
enough "Who the are you? And what are you doing on my ship?'' He
said surpressing his anger. The angel turned to face the Captain and
raised its other hand at him. A beam of white light shot from its
hand towards Picard, only to come in contact with a energy field
exactly like that of the one Q used. Picard grimaced at the
revelation. "Merit." The captain muttered.
"Now.
Now. I can't let you kill Jean-Luc like that." said a figure
standing behind the angel. Picard look over already knowing who it
was Q now dressed in his star fleet captains uniform. "That
wasn't very nice attacking a poor defenseless girl, a mentally
disabled man, and the good Captain. Fore shame." Q said, putting
himself between the angel who was now facing him and Rei.
"Another
angel?" Misato said confused as hell.
"No Miss
Katsuragi I am not an angel" admitted Q.
"You got
that right. Your more like a demon." Worf said as he got to his
feet.
"Quiet down micro brain, this is more serious than
you think. Your all action and no thinking ever." Q said smiling
before he turned his full attention to the angel, who now looked
confused. "Now will you leave or do I let Worf get his jollies
as he takes you apart piece by piece?" Q threatened. The angel
tilted its head for a second, pondering what this powerful creature
had said, then proceeded towards its target. "Fine then, go for
it Worf show us all that savage brutish behavior we all love. Let out
some of that pent up anger." Q said stepping aside.
"B.but
only an EVA c.can beat an angel." Shinji stuttered, getting up
the courage to speak.
"We need to work on you vocal
skills. Normally yes or another creature with an A.T. field can like
myself. So since micro brain here has nether technically he can't win
now can he." Q answered smiling.
"Sir?" Worf
ask Picard.
"Hold that thought Mr. Worf. Q if you can
stop it than do it. I am not going to sacrifice one of my crew for
your foolish whims." Picard quietly said to Q now standing side
by side.
"I am sorry Mon capitaine but I cannot DIRECTLY
get involved in the fight. Have faith in your half witted security
officer." Q said.
Worf had had enough. He'd rather get
killed than sit around doing nothing. He raised his phaser and fired
full blast at the angel. A crimson red beam leapt from the phaser. It
looked spectacular but the angel wasn't impressed. The beam bounced
harmlessly off its A.T. field. Annoyed by this Worf drew his megaleft
from behind his back and let out a defining roar worthy of a Klingon
warrior and charged the angel. To everyone's surprise the A.T. field
didn't stop him. Worf's blade slashed across the angel's chest and
across its face drawing first blood. As Worf brought his blade around
to take another swipe at the angel it attacked by slamming its knee
to Worf's midsection doubling him over. The angel then grabbed Worf's
arm wielding the blade and forced him to drop the weapon. The angel
then twisted it again trying to break it but Worf wouldn't stand for
it. The Klingon brought his arm down onto the arm of that was
twisting his other arm. The blow not only caused the angel to let go
of Worf's arm but also managed to break the angels arm at the elbow.
The angel shouted out in pain griping its now broken arm in pain.
Worf growled and pressed his attack delivering a mighty head butt.
Worf's cranial ridges cut into the angel's forehead tearing skin and
muscle alike. With a swift kick to the ribs of the angel threw it off
guard giving Worf the time to grab his sword and swipe the angel's
chest again exposing a glowing red orb in the middle of its
chest.
"That's its core, destroy it and it will die!"
Misato yelled to Worf.
Worf nodded and thrusts his blade
forward into the S2 organ, at first it wasn't going to go in at all
but finally after several more tries the blade sunk into it. It
started to crack as Worf twisted the blade and the core went from a
bright red glow to a dull gray, after that the angel slumped to the
ground, dead. The others just watched, transfix on the display of
savagery by the security chief, which was worthy of his Klingon
upbringing. Worf stood up triumphantly and let out a roar of victory
before staggering back to the wall and slumping to the ground himself
in exhaustion. Crusher and her staff quickly rushed the large Klingon
onto a bio bed. Crusher scanned him, and was satisfied to see no
lasting damage.
Misato, Shinji, and even Asuka were shocked at
what just happened "Th.that was im.impossible. H.how can any one
kill an angel with out an EVA." Shinji stammered.
"Quite
simple my vocally impaired boy. I just simply nullified its A.T.
field for the Klingon brute. Well, for a physical attack at least
that is. If I let him kill it with his phaser that wouldn't have been
very sportsmen like, now would it? And I think the micro brain
enjoyed it." Q said smugly trying to hide the fact that he him
self was almost as exhausted as Worf. The effort he put into
nullifing the angel's A.T. Field drained him.
"If I could
I'd do the same to you, batak." Worf remarked swearing in
Klingon.
"What do you want now Q?" Picard asked in a
flat tone of voice. Q turned his attention away from the two EVA
pilots and to Picard.
"Why only to help Jean-Luc. I was
bored and having you all die now wouldn't be any fun. You deserve at
least a some chance and I will give you that until you, or more
accurately they" he said pointing at the EVA pilots "can
fight back. I'll keep in touch." With that Q disappeared in a
flash of bright light. Things finally settled down and went back to
normal. Doctor Crusher finished her administrations to Worf before
turning back to her original patient. Deanna had decided to take the
remaining two EVA pilots and their guardian to their quarters.
***
While
standing inside the VIP quarters Deanna showed them the essentials of
the room, the replicator, sonic shower, ect. They seemed impressed
even amazed "Rei will join you once Doctor Crusher releases her
from sick bay" Deanna said to Asuka, who decided to make her
opinions known.
"WHAT?! You mean Wonder girl is going to
be staying with me! Oh that's just great! Why does that doll have to
stay here huh?!? What, nobody else on the ship wanted her to stay
with them?!?" Asuka yelled.
(She does this a lot. I am
really going to have to work with her. I wonder why she hates Rei so
much, and why does she call her a doll?) Deanna thought, managing a
smile with her response. "Yes, and if you don't like the
arrangements then by all means go talk to the captain, but I must
warn you he really dislikes children who act like that."
(actually any children he is uncomfortable with is more like it) she
thought. Asuka was speechless. She had no response for that so she
just stormed into the bedroom to get away and Deanna's smile widened
in victory.
Misato wasn't, though Deanna meant well but she
didn't know just how fragile Asuka was right now with all that she's
been through. But she didn't say any thing at the time. "W.what
about m.me and Misato Ms. Troi. W.where will I be staying."
Shinji said, finely finding the courage to speak up. Deanna had
completely forgotten about him for he was so quiet.
"Oh,
you two are right across the hall here." Deanna said gesturing
to the door across from the corridor. Deanna excused herself and left
the two roommates to themselves.
***
Misato
and Shinji went into their quarters and look around it was exactly
the same as the other room. Misato turned to Shinji "How are you
holding up?" She asked.
Shinji just looked out the window
"Fine I guess but.a little confused. I thought we got rid of all
the angels what are they doing here.now in this time? Was this why we
were frozen against our wills so we could keep on fighting? So I can
keep on piloting Eva. I don't want to pilot any more Misato. I am
sick of it. All it has brought me is pain." Shinji said tears
starting to form in his dark blue eyes.
Misato walked up to
Shinji and wrapped her arms around him and pulled him to her in a
nice embrace. She sat down on the couch with him in her arms holding
him in a motherly fashion. "Don't worry Shinji things will be
different these are better people. I have a feeling that Picard won't
let any thing like before happen to you. It will be different Shinji.
And I will always be here for you." She said still holding him
gently rocking back and forth. They stayed that way for a while
longer before heading off to the separate bedrooms.
After
about an hour of staring at the ceiling thinking he drifted to
sleep.
To be continued.
Author's
notes
Well this concludes the first chapter of a most unique
crossover. This first chapter was a bit short on the Eva elements I
know but hang in there the next chapter will be more like the Eva we
all know and love.
How the angels got to earth this time will
be explained in a later chapter. I know that the original angels came
from Adam the new set will have a similar origin.
Until
next time,
