Shin Seiki Evangelion
The Gospel Of The New Era
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------- Chapter IV-"The Sixth Children" ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------
Eva unit 04 crouched behind a building, looking over its shoulder. The unit looked as if it was breathing hard. In its hands was a type two palette rifle*.
Inside of unit 04, it was Kensuke that was breathing hard. He kept looking over his shoulders and checking his scanners.
'I don't here anything. So they must know where I am,' he thought to himself. 'And knowing him.'
He quickly jumped away from the building, just as unit 01 leaped down with the spear, which shattered from the full weight of unit 01.
Kensuke grinned and showered unit 01 with a spread of the rifle's fire. The Eva went down and stopped moving.
'Now I'd better hide before-'
His thoughts were cut off as a sharp pain entered his head. It was as if he had been shot in the back off the head. He clutched his head from the extreme pain. Then it suddenly stopped, and he knew he had lost.
"Simulation battle over. Winner: Rei," reported the MAGI to the entry plug. Then Maya came over the comm. to tell him that that was all he needed to do for today. He nodded and the plug went dark.
The LCL emptied out of the entry plug and the hatch opened. Kensuke climbed out. To his right he watched Shinji and Rei exit their plugs as well. He patted Shinji on the back.
"That was a pretty good sneak attack you tried on me, too bad it didn't work," he said with a grin.
Shinji smiled. "But it did. While you were busy with me, Rei got you with the sniper rifle.
Kensuke rolled his eyes. "I'm never gonna win, am I?"
"With your current state of mind, never," Rei stated before walking away. Both boys watched her leave the gantry for the locker room. When she was out of earshot Kensuke turned to Shinji with a lecherous grin.
"Wow! I just love the female plugsuits. Skintight, hugging every curve, and leaving little to the imagination!" So enthralled with his teammate's clothing, that he barely noticed Shinji walking off the opposite way Rei went. He quickly caught up with him.
"Why are you in such a hurry Shinji?" asked the myopic boy.
Shinji gave him a quick glance. "Maya wanted to see me right after training today. Something about unit 00's regeneration is going wrong again."
Kensuke nodded. "That reminds me, how is Asuka doing? I mean you have been going to see her almost everyday."
"No change," he said sullenly. "Now that I think about it, you never did tell me how Touji was doing in Okinawa."
Kensuke stared at him in a funny way. "What are you talking about?"
The dark haired boy blinked. "Uh.don't you remember when unit 00 self destructed? It destroyed both your homes, and everyone was relocated to Osaka.
His friend shook his head. "We were, but they said Touji was still recovering.here."
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------
The elevator opened before Shinji, casting him into the hard fluorescent light from above. The light did little to illuminate the corridor; this was mainly due to the fact that the walls were almost all black, along with the ceiling and floor.
'No matter how many times I come down here, it still creeps me out,' he thought to himself.
After a moment's walk he came to a solid titanium door. He slid his cardkey through the slot. The door opened.
Shinji stepped onto the catwalk and looked down into the lake of LCL to see the half naked and grievously wounded body of unit 00. Stitches, casts, bandages, and a few armor plates that had been reinstalled were all that held this construct of a god together. The boy's gaze traveled to the exposed core. It was chipped and cracked, but less so than the last time he had come to check on it's progress.
"Shinji! Down here!" called out Maya from a gantry below his. A few minutes later he was at her side. She was looking at the monitor of a laptop.
"So what's the problem Miss. Ibuki?" asked Shinji. She sighed and gave him a curt look.
"How many times do I have to tell you to call me Maya?"
Shinji looked down at his feet. "Sorry, Maya."
"Now," she began speaking as Shinji looked at the monitor. "The problem is that a tumor has started growing along the front of the forebrain. I've been having it removed, but it keeps regrowing. Gotten five of them out in the three hours."
Shinji rubbed his chin. "Have you checked the Eva's DNA yet?"
Maya glanced at him a moment before speaking. "No, I haven't. But what are you getting at?"
He shook his head. "Just compare the Eva's DNA to the Tumor's real quick. I only have a hunch." She nodded and began typing.
"Maya, may I ask you something?" Shinji asked as he looked down at unit 00 over the railing.
She did not look up from the screen. "Sure, I don't mind."
The boy was silent for a moment before speaking. "Do you know where Touji is? I was told that he went to Osaka with Kensuke, but Kensuke told me that Touji was never there."
Maya looked up at him. "Shinji, I'm sorry I should have you sooner." Shinji turned his head towards her. "As you know, Touji had lost his arm and leg, during the thirteenth's attack. What you don't know is that he has been undergoing an untested method of recovery."
His eyes shot up. "What kind of method? Is he okay?" he asked quickly.
Maya shook her head. "I'm not sure. All I know is that his recovery is also a part of Dr. Akagi's project in Terminal Dogma."
"I don't mean to pry, but you wouldn't happen to know what the project is, do you?"
The young technician looked down at her feet. "No, I only know that it's the only reason that she isn't confined to a holding cell, just Terminal Dogma, and it's name."
"Well what is it?" She looked at him.
"The G.S. System. I think it-" She was cut off by a beeping from the laptop. As they both began reading the data, their faces took on shocked expressions.
"If their the same, then that means." Maya trailed off, her face mared with an ashen expression.
"I don't think that's a tumor then, but from it's location I'd say it's an extra eye or two." Shinji put in.
"Do you know what this means, Shinji?" Maya asked him in a low voice.
He nodded. "Unit 00 has some Angel DNA, now."
They both looked down at unit 00, just in time to watch a bulge form on the front of it's head. The wrappings began to tear.
"Shinji, run some calculations through the MAGI. I'll go and monitor the.growth."
Shinji nodded and began typing furiously as Maya rushed down the steel stairs.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------
Misato, Kensuke, and Pen-Pen sat at the table in her flat. She and Shinji had invited Kensuke to stay the night.
"Yeeeaa Haaaaaaa!" exclaimed Misato as she slammed down her empty can of beer. "Nothing like a nice cold one after a hard day of work!"
"I agree Misato, except I prefer Pepsi!" chorused Kensuke as he downed a can of Pepsi. Misato looked at his can and got a sad look in her eyes.
"You now, that's what Rit-chan and me used to say in college." She sighed. "I wonder if the Commander will ever let her out of that cell?"
"He did!" called Shinji from the kitchen. Misato was at his side shaking him within a second. Kensuke and Pen-Pen rubbed their eyes from her shear speed.
"Wait, when did he let her out? Why hasn't she called me?" she asked frantically. Shinji began stammering a reply, which when coupled with the shaking, was worth about as much as a dingo's kidneys.
Then the phone rang. Kensuke exchanged looks with Pen-Pen, before he picked it up.
"Hello.Yes, this is her apartment, but she's rather busy at the moment," he told the other line, while watching Misato shake Shinji like a sack of potatoes. "So if you can leave a message, she will call you back.What? Why didn't you say that before? We'll be right there!" He hung up.
The eye-glassed boy yelled, "Stop!"
Misato and Shinji stopped moving and turned their heads to look at Kensuke.
"That was the Cranial Ward. They think Asuka may wake up soon!"

(The scene opens at the game show studio, once more)
Kouzou: And welcome back to the show! Here's Gendo!
Gendo: Now, our contestants will ask Agent Ryouji a series of yes/no questions. Miss Horaki will begin. (Glares at her)
Hikari (Gulping): All right then.Kaji, was Asuka mad at you at the time?
Kaji: Yes. I hadn't taken her out on the town in a month.
Kaoru: Was SEELE displeased with you?
Kaji: Yes. I reported Misato's sagging to the Commander, and he told them.
Touji (Whispering): Kensuke, you got the report from them, right?
Kensuke (Also Whispering, and rolling eyes): Of course I did. I am the club's vice- President.
Touji (Still Whispering): Hey! No lip to the club president!
Hikari: Did that anger Misato?
Kaji: Sadly yes, but she wouldn't let me.apologize. (Wink)
Kaoru: Do you know why Dr. Akagi was irritable right before your death?
Kaji: No, .maybe that cat-food expired
Hikari: Was Maya mad at you?
Kaji: I think so. I never did call her back, did I?
Kaoru: What of Mr. Aoba?
Kaji: Well, I did lose his Hanson CD.
Gendo: That's all the time for questions we have. The contestants have one minute to Make a theory.
(Hikari & Kaoru rub their chins for a minute)
Gendo: Mr. Nagisa, if you will.
Kaoru: I think you took your own life, in light of everyone's hatred of you!
Gendo: Judges?
Suddenly a giant thermometer lights up behind the Stooges. It is labeled, in big black letters, as being the 'Conspir-O-meter!' It has the phrases, from lowest to highest: You took the blue pill, didn't you, They pose no threat, We'd better keep tabs on that one, You know too much!, Did you used to work for the CIA?, and, SEELE better watch out!
Shinji, Touji, and Kensuke chat for a moment before pushing a few buttons.
The 'Conspir-O-meter' does not move.
Gendo: Well, that was expected. Miss. Horaki?
Hikari: I think everyone he pissed off got together and killed him.
Gendo: Judges?
Shinji, Touji, and Kensuke chat for a moment before pushing a few buttons.
The 'Conspir-O-meter' shatters from the pressure.
Gendo: Miss. Horaki is today's winner. Tell her what she's won Fuyutski.
Kouzou: Hikari has won an all expense paid trip to to NERV's worst holding cell, where she will be interrogated, and her mind will be sundered for all of eternity.
Hikari (In shock) What?
Gendo: You are the weakest link, Goodbye! (He pulls a lever)
A hole opens beneath Hikari, and she falls screaming down to the holding cells.
Kouzou: Runner-ups will be shot, because they now know too much.
Kaoru (weakly): Not again.
Gendo shoots him in the head with his pistol.
Kouzou: All judges will be heavily bribed, to keep them quiet.
A pile of cash falls from the rafters and buries the three stooges.
Kouzou: And the audience will return to the dummy plug system.
Hundreds of Rei clones pout then leave the studio.
Kouzou: (cheerfully) Please watch 'Who Killed Kaji?' next time!
