Chapter 6:
Eternal Hope Pt. 2
Author's Notes:
This is part 2 of Eternal Hope. You know, the first heavy chapter of the series. Expect some action in this one. Still waiting for some pre- readers. Well, more talking is not necessary, so I will begin now.
The beast was staring at the ghostly form of Rei floating in front of his ugly visage. She was wearing what seemed to be a flowing white night-gown. She was expressive display of regal beauty he had ever seen. And yet she still seemed to have this incredible energy emanating from her very being.
"What is that Baka doing?!?!"
"I think she's trying to fight it."
As you should be too.
Me?
Yes this one is meant for you.
I can't get over there fast enough!
Yes you can.
Not even Misato drives that fast!
I do not meant driving. Just close your eyes.
Shinji closed his eyes.
Imagine yourself there. Try to picture yourself floating next to Rei.
I'm trying!
He was. Shinji was trying his hardest to be there with Rei, but he just couldn't do it.
Continue, and concentrate on every detail.
The beast suddenly screeched and swung one of his ugly arms at Rei. She dodged it, but was now in striking distance from his other arm.
"AAAHHHH!!!!"
It was a bloodcurdling scream, coming from Rei. She was thrown onto the top of one of the sunken buildings.
"Rei!"
Shinji was now devoting all of his self just to picture himself next to Rei. He was picturing her petit feet, her long legs, her. . . HER EYES! He turned to his left and there they were. Those intense red orbs. . .
"Rei?"
"uh. . ."
"REI! Are you alright?!?!"
"Uh. . . Shin-Kun?"
"I'm here. What is that thing?"
"It's, it's. . ."
"It's okay, you don't have to speak just rest."
SWITCH TO SHINJI'S POV
I gently picked Rei up in my arms. I could feel her warm, shapely, young body in my arms. I would have been turned on if not for that giant beast directly south of me. I now concentrated on Asuka. If I could visualize myself next to her. . .
Yes that's it.
I pictured her feet, her legs, her breasts, and. . . HER EYES. Those radiant blue orbs, so light and lively, so fun, the exact opposite of Rei's. And there they were staring right at me. I slowly walked over to the couch and laid Rei down.
You must stop it Shinji. It is meant for you.
I looked at Pen-Pen
How. . .
You must focus your bodies energies around yourself to merge with your mental barrier.
Mental barrier?
The part of you which separates you from everyone else. Even more important than the body, it defines your space.
How can I find it though. I'm not aware of it even now.
go over to Asuka.
What?
Just go over to her
Yeah come here you Baka!
O..ok
I slowly walked to where Asuka was standing. Little did I know that Rei's Crimson orbs followed me wherever I went.
Now kiss her.
K. . . Kiss?
Yes
So I did. At first a peck, but then a genuine, deep, passionate kiss. I was not aware as Rei's eyes went wide for a moment, and then dropped to the ground a second later.
Now become one with her.
What?!?!
Silly children, I do not mean THAT. I just mean to fuse yourself with her.
But. . .
You can't. There is one of your borders. It is impossible for you to melt completely into her.
I. . . I see.
But you do not know your whole barrier yet. Now go over to Misato.
I did not need to be asked this time. I waltzed directly over to Misato. Now Asuka and Rei were staring intently.
Now kiss her.
I looked to Asuka, who nodded her assent. Then I looked into Misato's eyes. They were brown, fairly normal. There was not much special about them unless you could look beyond. There laid someone who was searching for only two things, unconditional love, and protection. As I stared our lips slowly approached each other. When they met it was at first a bit awkward. After all, she WAS around 10 years older than me. But once we got into it, it was quite an enjoyable experience. We embraced each other and I could feel her ample chest pressed up against my still unformed juvenile pecs. We broke the kiss a minute later.
Now join with her.
I cannot.
There is another part of your boundary.
I see.
Now go to Rei.
Is this really needed?
Asuka was starting to dislike this.
An unfinished definition is confusing.
Fine.
I slowly took one step after another until I reached the couch. I then knelt down and my vision was immediately locked on her eyes.
Now kiss her
I did. It was incredible, like nothing I had ever experienced before. Better than Misato, better than Asuka, it was. . .
Now become one with her.
Then it happened, a flash of light bright enough to be seen across the world. My lips were still glued to hers. It felt like our souls were mingling in the space between our lips. When we finally broke our kiss we looked around. It was an amazing feeling. It wasn't really like double vision, rather it was like double consciousness. I saw both things, and yet there was only one. I could feel two bodies and yet there was still only one. Had the situations not been as they were I might have imagined the sexual possibilities that this opened up. But at the time I was not thinking about sex.
"It's incredible!" "It's incredible!"
We said it at the same time. Fore we were barely we. We were closer to I.
This is rather unexpected.
Did. . . Did he become one with her?
No, but he could if he really tried.
Does this mean that what we have means nothing?
Absolutely not, what you two have is still very special.
I could see an almost hurt look in Asuka's eyes.
Shinji.
Yes?
This is still part of your barrier. This just means that Rei is inside.
I. . . I see.
Do you know your barrier now?
Yes.
Then you must divide.
I was reluctant at first.
But I don't want to. . .
You must, to save all.
Fine.
I divided from Rei, and lost the incredible feeling that I just had. I felt. . . incomplete.
Now go to it.
I had done it once with people I. . . liked. Now I could easily do it again with something I hated.
All of a sudden I found myself in front of the Joker of death. It's unfading grin plastered upon it's hideous face. I engaged in a staring contest with the monster. We stared for what seemed like forever. All I could feel was extreme hate and malice towards this vile creature that had injured Rei. The beast evidently didn't know the rules of a staring contest, for it suddenly swung at me. I was caught off guard and went hurtling downwards. Unfortunately for me, there was no building under me to break my fall.
Shinji! Visualize your barrier!
I did as Pen-Pen instructed. I thought back to where I stopped and the others began. I felt how they could not pass into me and become one. All except Rei. I visualized how my barrier would move to embrace Rei and shield her from all outside forces.
Good. Now send out your bodies energy, make the barrier physical.
I focused my mind on all of the chemical reactions going on throughout my body. I could feel the energy being released by them to stabilize my bodily functions. I commanded my cells to release this energy and not use it up. I took this energy that my body was not using and threw it outward to be stopped at my barrier. I opened my eyes to see the pavement rushing up towards my face. . .
Crack!
CRACK!
PHOOM!
All of a sudden I was suspended in the air over a giant bowl-shaped crater. The only thing special about this crater was that it was glowing. I could feel energy flowing in an orb around my body. I looked up, turning my whole body around while floating. I could see this same orb above me.
EXCELLENT! Though you did cut it a bit close. . .
Shut up! It's not my fault that I don't fight giant monsters EVERY DAY!
Fine fine! Just float back up there.
I did as I was told and willed may body, as well as the surrounding orb, to rise up into the air. The next thing I knew I was staring at that disgusting face again. It's teeth showing in a maniacal grin. The beast took another swing, but this time I was ready.
FWIP!
The beast's arm made a loud swishing sound as it completely missed me.
Good! You're getting the hang of it. Now slam into it's chest.
I started accelerating towards the beast's chest area. I was almost at the outer surface when. . .
CRACK!
A loud sound, kinda' like an M250 surrounded by wood splinters, emanated from where the beast's hand and my barrier had collided. I continued to will myself forward as the beast's hand tried desperately to force me back. I could feel the beast's hand giving way as I charged forward.
Snap!
BOOM!
Suddenly the beast's wrist snapped backwards. Once this was done, an explosion occurred at the joint and the hand departed from the body and fell to the ground. Once the hand was gone I collided with the beast's chest area. As my barrier touched it's surface, the "skin" in that area disappeared. I was inside the creature.
Now do what you did with Rei.
What? With this thing?
Yes.
But how can I?
JUST TRY!
Fine.
I gave in and attempted to join with the beast. All of a sudden I started to feel drowsy, then nauseous, then extreme pain from my wrist.
"Aaagh!"
I screamed as the searing pain coming from my wrist took over all my senses.
Did I do it?
Yes, you did.
God, If I would have known I was joining with the thing, I would've gone AROUND the hand.
Now picture yourself as you again.
I did as I was told.
Oh and Shinji, don't forget to imagine yourself in a safe place. . .
It was too late, I was already falling from a good fifteen feet onto solid concrete. Not enough for serious injury, but it HURT!
Thanx for telling!
SOR-RY. Just get your ass back up here.
I didn't need to be asked twice. I visualized myself lying in my soft, comfortable bed, back in my room. . .
--
"Hey where'd he go?"
"Shhh!"
Zzzzzzz Zzzzzz
"See?"
"Baka Shinji! Almost gets killed and doesn't even have the courtesy to kiss me so I can be sure that he didn't!"
While this might have sounded harsh, Asuka Langely Sohryu was using this term in an endearing manner. Fore she loved the boy sleeping in the next room. She loved him so much that she was frightened out of her mind by what had happened earlier with Rei. . .
"Do not worry Asuka. Though terrible, frightening things may occur. Though things may die and end. Hope! Hope is eternal."
Asuka didn't know why, but these words comforted her.
