Author's Notes: Hey there freaks and fruitcakes! Time for yet another healthy serving of insanity filled fun, care of GoW. Alrighty, well I don't Eva.. blah blah blah.. and so on. And do review! The ferret is on strike, so I can't quite threaten you people with him, but once he comes back, you'll get such a thrashing! Well on with the story as I always say! And also be sure to read Lain Iwakura and the Holy Modem, and review that as well! I just wish to spread the holy word of bojangles across the anime fanfiction world! Oh! And while I'm at it, I'd like to thank Will Z, for restoring my faith in good fanfiction! My thanks to you Will Z!
The Word
Ch 3- And darkness swept over the land..
Misato Katsuragi slammed her foot down on the gas pedal and sped down the road towards the Geofront at speeds that would make most racers piss their pants. She quickly glanced at the clock. She had to get to the Geofront in 3 minutes or she'd be late. Ritsuko already threatened her about being late, and she didn't want to spend the time to think up the tortures the mad scientist could think up. She skid to a stop in the NERV Parking lot with about 57 seconds to spare. She practically leapt out of her car and into the elevator. When she finally reached the floor the command center was on, she ran out yelling, "I'm here on time!!".
Misato was shocked to find the command center nearly empty. Most of the staff was off duty and the only present personel were Ritsuko, Maya, Hyuuga, and Shigeru. She looked around and finally spotted the commander and sub-commander, in their usual position, watching the on goings from their shadowy desk. Ritsuko finally looked up from her typing and looked at Misato.
"Misato, what are you doing here?"
"Well.... I figured I'd be on time today.."
".....You were given today off, Misato."
Misato then went ghostly pale and slumped to the floor. This was all Asuka's fault! If she hadn't said that stupid word, she would have remembered (in actuality, it was the beer... not that Misato would admit to that) about her scheduled day off. Misato was about to go home and think of ways to punish Asuka, when she noticed the silence in the base. She let several minutes pass before she decided to speak up.
"What's going on?"
Ritsuko looked back up to Misato and sighed, removing her glasses.
"We've been running the Magi through their tests. We're almost done now."
"Ohh... I see..."
Misato never cared much for the Magi. In her eyes it was nothing more then a group of computers. She figured though this was important, because Ritsuko looked worn to the bone. She had that look on her face that she only got when she had stayed up all night thinking about something. That's when Misato remembered something. After spending the entire morning thinking about that friggin word Asuka had said, Misato realized she couldn't place a meaning on the word. That's when she reached the conclusion she always reached when she had something she couldn't figure out.
Ask Ritsuko.
"Hey Ritsu.. I have a quick question for you.."
Ritsuko looked up again, first with a look of frustration, but quickly changing to her usual cool, composed look.
"Alright... shoot."
"Do you know what Bojangles means?"
Upon hearing the word, Gendo's eye twitched. Ritsuko raised an eyebrow at hearing the word.
"Bojangles?"
Fuyutski suddenly began sweating.
"Yeah... Asuka shouted bojangles this morning... and I had no idea what it meant.."
"Hmm... I don't think I've ever heard that word before.."
Hyuuga took this chance to pipe in.
"Bojangles? Why not run it through a search on the Magi?"
Upon hearing bojangles being said again, Fuyutski broke from his usual calm position and ran from the command center, crying and screaming "Oh god the end is here!!". Gendo calmly stood and followed his professor out of the command center. Everyone watched the two leave while sweatdropping. Ritsuko, after snapping out of her daze, went swiftly to her computer and began a search on the word Bojangles. All three Magi quickly went into deliberation to find a definition for the bizarre word. Balthazar linked to Melchior with a sense of confusion.
"Do you know what this is?"
"Nope.... maybe Caspar knows... he always does know this kind of stuff.."
The two powerful supercomputers linked to Caspar.
"Caspar, do you have any idea about this?"
"..........heellllllppp meeeeee.."
Back inside the Nerv command center, a red alert went off, indicating a possible problem with the Magi. All of the Nerv technicians flew into action, searching for the problem. Shigeru finally found out the emergency after 3 excrutiatingly long minutes.
"Ma'am! It would appear that searching for the word bojangles was to much for the Magi!"
"Impossible! There's no way the Magi could fail on something like finding a simple definition!"
Maya made a startled and confused gasp, then announced her findings.
"Sempai! It looks like someone left open a game they were playing! It's....... Quake?! Who was playing Quake on the Magi!?"
Hyuuga looked to Shigeru, who shrugged. Ritsuko, with a faint blush on her cheeks, studdered out a response.
"N-now is not the time for this! Is there anything we can do?"
Hyuuga looked at his screen and almost jumped out of his seat.
"Oh god! The Magi are going into shut down! They're crashing!"
"No! If they shut down, the entire Geofront will lose power! When can we get them back online?"
"It'd take almost 2 to 3 days at max!"
Ritsuko looked down to the ground.
"We have no choice... let them shut down and then we'll get to work on the restart as soon as possible."
Meanwhile, inside the office of one Gendo Ikari, Gendo sat at his desk as Fuyutski continued to run around screaming. His hands folded in front of his face, for once in his life, Gendo was actually sweating as the lights in his office went out and he said one statement.
"God help us.... it's begun.."
