"How can that be?" I asked, "That's impossible"
"Yea" Asuka snapped, "We're all descendants of Shinji Ikari."
"Is your surname Ikari?" Katsuhiko asked. "I thought not. As humans spread across the globe they changed their surnames and started whole new bloodlines. Mine has been the same for Generations, thus keeping the Ikari name."
"If you say so" I shrugged. " Now for the five-billion dollar question, what the hell are you doing here?"
"An Angel warned me." He said without emotion "It has warned me of events to come and the reactivation of the Eva Series"
"The what?" I asked. All of the sudden this guy wasn't making any sense. If Angels were the bad guys and all of them were destroyed then where did this new one come from"
"The Eva Series…the relics?" Asuka asked her attention turned to the deformed humanoid crosses.
" Correct" Katsuhiko said in a stern tone. " I need you two to follow me"
"Mommy told me not to go with strangers," I said as if I was a four- year old reciting a message.
"For all we know you could hold us for ransom or something" Asuka said sharply " not to mention you saw me naked, you might decide to take advantage of me."
"I am not interested in your body" Katsuhiko said with ice words that silenced Asuka.
"Your parents already know that you will be going with me… they also know what you were going to attempt to do"
"Aw man" I winced; the only person I was afraid of in my whole life was my mother. My mother, Tetsuyo Kajimi, was is a nice looking woman, long brown hair, round face, and smooth curves. Even at 35 I've had friends tell me how hot my mom was. (Gross) but when my mother gets angry she becomes a totally different person, she may have the body of a goddess (so I'm told) but she can have a temperament of a dragon. And her finding out that her son was about to lose hid virginity to a girl she didn't really take that much of a liking to would make it worse"
"At least they will should you refuse" Katsuhiko smirked. Asuka also had a look of fear and decided that it would benefit the two of us if we went along with the weirdo's request.
"Excellent" he said and started walking. Of course we followed nervously.
****************************************
We reached a bunker some ways away from home. It was here that I saw a skeletal finger sticking out of the water amazingly some of the tendons and muscles had not decayed yet. Asuka also noticed it and was mesmerized by it.
"Is that…the arm of the Angel that tried to wipe out everything?" Asuka asked in awe.
" Yes and no" Katsuhiko said while driving across Tenshi River (known for the very arm that was lying in it had belonged to an angel). "This Angel reacted to Shinji's wish to make the ideal world."
"Shinji caused the third Impact?" I asked/
"Not necessarily" Katsuhiko said. " Shinji and Evangelion 01 were used as tools to start the third Impact but thanks to his wishes he was able to give Mankind a fresh start."
"With Asuka?" Asuka asked. As if this was she first time hearing the legend instead of the millionth
"Correct" Katsuhiko said. By now we were waiting on a car train taking us deeper into the bunker. I sat back and crossed my arms, thinking deeply. If Shinji was used as a tool, then exactly who decided to call him a brave warrior? My brain rushed with confusion of what I knew and what was just told to me. Asuka laid her head on my shoulder and held on to me. Seeing her lightened my heart and worries.
"You worry too much Lance" she smiled.
"Don't tell me that this don't wear on your mind too," I said teasingly.
"Hey you know me" she said putting up a show of bravado "this has creeped me out beyond belief" she said with a sigh.
"We're here," Katsuhiko, said opening the car door letting us out. It has been a long time since I saw a Geofront. They were built after Mankind had returned to its technological status. Looking down on everything then up at the buildings above us was just breath taking. Asuka couldn't stop looking around. It must have been her first time in one.
"One warning Asuka" I said
"What"
" Be careful when entering doors, that gust of wind will blow that skirt over your head"
"Oh" she said seriously intent on memorizing that. "Thanks for the warning."
We moved along the conveyer belt, just one of what looked like hundreds this one took us to a raft, which we boarded
"Congratulations" Katsuhiko called back to us, "You are about to pilot something that hasn't been seen like this in a thousand years.
(Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeell the two have become Eva pilots what awaits them now?)
"Yea" Asuka snapped, "We're all descendants of Shinji Ikari."
