Chapter 14: Enter Child 4
"No way, absolutely not!" Akane yelled. "But Mrs. Hibiki!" Misato pleaded. "We really need the help." "I don't care. My daughter is not getting put in one of those mechanical things no matter what you say!" Misato took a minute to calm herself. Trying to reason with Akane was proving very difficult indeed. The marduke report had indicated a strong possibility of Ranko Saotome being able to synchronize with Eva Unit 03. The Angel attacks recently had become more intense, and the other 3 units were taking heavy damage. To tell the truth they were desperate. "But Mrs. Hibiki you must understand that with you're daughter's help we will be able to better defend our planet from these alien invaders!" Akane was fuming. She crossed her arms across her chest and gave a scowl that would have made Ranma wet his pants. That is of course if Ranma had been there. Which he wasn't. Misato only hoped that Akane wouldn't notice her little "accident". Finally after about 15 minutes of this Akane finally spoke. "At this time my husband would spout some nonsense about 'It's a martial artists duty.' " "But dear it is a martial artists duty to." Ryoga started. Akane quickly shot him a glance that would have melted lead. Ryoga cringed. "I'll shut up now." He said in a weak voice. Akane sighed. She knew in her heart that they were desperate for people to pilot those monsters. She even knew why they needed Ranko, something about children conceived at the time of second impact or something like that. Was she just being selfish? After all why train somebody in the use of martial arts these days if they weren't expected to used it for it's main purpose? After what seemed like an eternity she finally spoke. "I will allow it." she began. "That's great!" Misato said joyfully. "On one condition!" Akane said as she finished the sentence that was interrupted. + Oh oh + thought Misato. + Akane's one condition may be more trouble than it's worth. + "I want that Shinji boy to be fighting with her whenever she goes out in that thing." "You mean in the entry plug with her? That's unreasonable, we can't possibly do that!" Misato almost choked. "No no I mean in his own Eva. If anything goes wrong I want him to be there to help her. I am betting that with her father's spirit inside that boy nothing will be able to hurt her." "What makes you so sure about that?" Misato asked. "He's never let me down before. I trust him with my life and now the life of my child." Akane spoke. "Now if there is nothing further to discuss when should Ranko report for duty?" "Nine o clock tomorrow morning. We're going to be testing her ability to synchronize with Unit 03." "Will Ranma be there?" Akane asked. "Well he wasn't scheduled to be there." Misato began. "Make sure that he and that mechanical beast are there. As per our agreement I want nothing going wrong." Misato bigsweated and scratched the back of her head. "Sh sure. I guess that would be ok even though it is just a test. Nothing could possibly go wrong." "Make sure it doesn't." Shinji and Azuka at this moment were sitting in the living room of Misato's apartment. Pen Pen was laying on the couch with his head on Azuka's lap. ^ Lucky penguin. How the hell can he get away with that and I would get slapped for it? ^ / Maybe because he's a penguin and he feels no sexual or other attraction to Azuka. / Almost right on cue Pen Pen started nuzzling his beak into Azuka's crotch. Azuka yelped then pulled the penguin up and set it on her lap. "Tsk Tsk Pen Pen you know you shouldn't be doing that." She scolded the bird. / Now is not the time for a witty comment. / "You know if I did that you'd just slap me." Then she slapped him. / Told you so. / ^ Shut up Ranma. ^ "What was that for?" Shinji asked holding his cheek. "You know what it was for pervert." She shot back. "Well if I'm going to get slapped for the deed I might as well have done it." He exclaimed as he did a sideways flip off the couch and ended up in a kneeling position with his face buried deep into her pelvis. "Ahh you pervert get off of me!" Azuka screamed. At this particular moment Misato decided to walk in. "Get a room you two." She said. "Misato do you know what this pervert is doing to me? Get him off!" "Yeah I know he's trying to eat you out. Anyway Shinji I've got a job for you tomorrow." Shinji came up for air where he was immediately belted for his trouble. Rubbing his cheek. "What type of job?" "Well you know we're conducting the sync test on Unit 03 tomorrow and the mother of the new pilot insisted that you be there. More specifically that Ranma be there." "I don't understand." Shinji said. "Ask Ranma about it he knows Akane better than anyone else here. I'm going out for a drink." Misato turned to leave. She had her hand on the door handle. "Oh yes and FYI next time try pulling off her panties before you start anything." She smiled then left. "Crud." Shinji said as Azuka made a menacing move towards him. The next morning the sun was shining quite furiously. Shinji was sitting in his Eva watching the technicians fit the power cord to the shiny new black Unit 03. Shinji yawned and gave a little stretch. ^ Stupid technicians can't they do anything right. ^ / Well I guess we can't rush them. After all I want everything to go absolutely perfectly. / ^ Because it's Ranko in there? ^ / Especially because Ranko's in there. / ^ Oh wait here we go. ^ The giant Eva's eyes lit up as they delivered power to it. Ranko inside felt herself merge with the Eva and become part of it. Something didn't feel quite right. She could swear that there was someone else in the Eva with her. She was just about to radio to the control booth when the lights went out. Outside the black Eva clutched it's head then stood up straight, then hunched over a bit. It jumped in the air and did a spinning kick towards Unit 01 and Shinji. In the control room Misato was furious. Ranko didn't need to show off her first time at the controls. "Get Ranko on the radio I want to know what the hell she's doing!" Misato ordered one of the technicians. "The radio's out! All communications with Unit 03 have been severed." The technician responded. "What the hell is going on here?" Misato yelled expecting an answer from somebody. "Pattern blue detected." Maya yelled back. "Where?" "Unit 03." Maya said. "Crap." Misato mumbled under her breath. "Eject the pilot." She ordered. "No use." Maya yelled back. "Something's blocking the ejection system." Meanwhile Shinji was having an interesting time on the testing grounds. Without warning Unit 03 started attacking him. They were sloppy attacks but what they lacked in technique they more and made up for in power. ^ What the hell is she doing? ^ / No idea. / A little window opened to the left of where Shinji was sitting. It was Misato. "Unit 03 has been taken over by an Angel." She paused for a second. "Consider Unit 03 your target you're orders are to destroy Unit 03 at all cost." She finished. She didn't tell him that the orders came from commander Ikari himself. "That's bull shit!" Shinji yelled. "I can't kill her. I can rescue her then destroy Unit 03." "Those orders came from Commander Ikari. You are to follow them." "Page 503 paragraph 32 subparagraph 4 section 2 'Any soldier may disobey orders if said orders violate the soldiers conscience and or are illegal orders.' I would think that murdering Ranko would be an illegal order." Shinji said smugly. + Where the hell does he get this? + Misato thought. "Somebody get me a rulebook!" Gendo's head materialized in a giant window on all of the screens. "There is no time for that prepare to activate the dummy plug." "Right sir." Maya responded. "Cutting off all neural interfaces to Unit 01 now sir." Another technician said. "Preparing to activate dummy plug now sir." Maya said. "Dummy plug is not responding!" "What's wrong with it?" Gendo said sounding a little agitated. "It says it's playing Quake now and doesn't want to be disturbed." She said. "Reconnect neural interfaces to Unit 01 now!" Yelled Misato. The black Eva was steadily advancing on Unit 01, which was just sitting there. Inside Unit 01's entry plug Shinji was getting a little scared. There was a 200 ton 25 story tall black Evangellion unit bearing down on him and his stupid Eva wouldn't move. "What the hell is wrong with you?" He yelled. "Move. MOVE!" Misato popped up in a little window beside him. "Don't worry Shinji we'll have you going again in no time." She smiled reassuringly. A technician came up to her and asked her something Shinji couldn't make out. "No I don't want lillies at the funeral I want roses, white roses. Shinji deserves the best." ^ I don't like the looks of this. ^ / Hey I'm already dead so it's really no skin off my nose. But you on the other hand might have a problem with dying. / As suddenly as it had started Unit 03 stopped moving. It fell to it's knees and clutched it's chest in agony. It let out a terrible roar as a giant yellow beam shot out from it's neck tearing it's head right off. "Pattern blue has disappeared." Maya said Misato sighed. It was over. Now all she had to do is prevent Shinji from being court marshaled then shot as a traitor. Hell if she could go up against space aliens day in day out then performing this minor miracle shouldn't be a problem. Out on the tarmac Ranko was obviously furious. Her big chance and the stupid thing just had to turn out to be an Angel that tried to kill her. She was definitely not having a good day. She decided to take out her frustration the Saotome way; cause massive amounts of damage to things. She decided to start with the Eva. "Stupidfuckingpieceofshitcocksuckingmotherfuck.." She yelled as she continually pounded the side of the now dead Angel. ^ Looks like she got her fathers strength and martial arts abilities. ^ ".bloodyhorsefuckingpieceofamphibianshit.." / And her mother's temper. / ^ I just wonder where she picked up that language from. ^ Later on that day Misato came to the cell they had taken Shinji. "Well guess what. You're sprung come on." "Huh? I thought I was going to be court marshaled for disobeying orders." "You were one paragraph off. It was paragraph 31 not 32. They decided that the Commanders orders were illegal. They knew of you're skills and decided that it would have been no trouble to rescue Ranko. He's being court marshaled right now." "What's going to happen to him?" Asked Shinji. No matter how much he pretended to hate his father he was a little concerned for him at this moment. "Ahh he'll get off. Look who he's got defending him." She pointed into the court room where his father was being tried. "Johhnie Chocheran!" "Yup and look what he's doing." "Oh my god. The chewbacca defense." Shinji said. "He'll get off for sure." Misato smiled and winked at Shinji. "Can't have the supreme commander of Nerv be shot as a traitor now can we?" "But we pilots are expendable right." Shinji shot back. This caught Misato a little off guard. "Well just remember don't die until you save the world." She leaned in closer so only he could hear. "After that then we shoot you." She smiled turned and walked away. ^ She was kidding right? ^ / Well you do know ultra top secret stuff so I guess they wouldn't want you running around telling everybody. / ^ You're already dead so why the hell should you care? ^ / You die I go back to the puddle get it. / ^ I see. ^ Shinji looked around. There was nobody around him. ^ So what should we do now? ^ / Hmm seeing as how you're last date with Azuka ended on such a crappy note why don't you give it another try? / ^ Another date? What for? ^ / I think she likes you. / ^ Oh and how can you tell, Mr so great with women. ^ / Instinct my boy after all I've got about 25 more years experience than you. / ^ But you've been dead for twenty of those years. ^ / So. / Shinji decided to give up on this little argument, Ranma could be just so stubborn at some times. ^ Well then 'Sereno' where should I take her? ^ / Well I know this really great place. /
"This had better be good." Azuka said aloud as she and Shinji walked along. "I have no idea. Ranma recommended this place." "Why the hell are you taking his advice anyway from what I've heard his love life really sucked when he was alive." Azuka snorted. "Well he had 3 fiancees and one crazy girl after him. All of which loved him with all their hearts. He risked his life untold many times saving Akane. I don't know. I think he did pretty good considering." / Thanks. / "Well if he had 3 fiancees then why the hell didn't he just choose one and get it over with? If you ask me he was a letch." "You do remember that he can hear everything you're saying don't you?" "So what if the Baka can hear everything I'm saying he can't hit girls. So I'm just fine." / My opinion of her just dropped. Why don't you go after Rei, she'd probably jump you're bones before you can finish asking her out./ ^ I don't know. Rei's nice but there's just something weird about her. I can't quite put my finger on it. ^ / Well I don't. Hey we're here. / Shinji looked around. ^ Where? ^ / Over there. / Ranma mentally pointed ^ That place? Are you crazy? ^ / Clinically that's possible. / "Ranma says we're here." "What? This place." Azuka pointed at the sign. "I guess so." ^ What the hell kind of a place is the 'Bump and Grind' ^ / It was a place I took Akane to a couple of times. It was really great. It was a disco. / ^ That was 20 years ago!! It looks like some sleazy bar/mosh pit. ^ / Too late to find some other place. / ^ If this sucks I'm going to hold you responsible. ^ Shinji took a step inside the place. Immediately a large hand was on his shoulder. "Hey whatcha' doin kid. Don ya know this is a bar. You'se can't be coming in here." Shinji pulled out his Nerv ID. "I think this says different." The bouncer took his hand off Shinji's shoulder. The kid was military and the one thing he knew was that you didn't mess with the military. "Well I guess if youse don have nuttin to drink it'd be ok." "Thanks. Come on Azuka let's go." Azuka took a hesitant step inside the place. It was quite obvious this place had been a disco but had been hastily converted into a night club. There were about twenty or thirty people scattered in various places. There was a light lit dance floor and a stoned out DJ cranking out some heavy thrasher tunes. "Do you want to get anything to drink or would you like to dance?" "I think we should dance. I don't think that I want to drink anything here." She said as she watched a particularly large roach crawl out of one of the glasses. They walked out to the dance floor in between songs. Shinji noticed that the DJ had what looked to be some of those little paste on temporary tattoos. He seemed to be enjoying them immensely. He hit the play button on the DAT player and a song slowly cranked to life. Since he was tripping on acid he'd put the wrong tape in the machine. Instead of more thrash music it was some slow mood music. It was as if fate or the gods had destined it to be. Shinji bowed deeply like a gentleman and took Azuka's hand. He pulled her in close and they started dancing. Azuka was getting scared. She liked it. She truly liked dancing this close to Shinji. No that wasn't quite right, she didn't like just the dancing she just liked being close to him. She wasn't falling for him, was she? This just wouldn't do her revenge depended on breaking HIS heart, love was for the weak, caring and compassion would only hurt you in the end. She must stay focused. Staying focused when she could feel his rock hard chest against hers was an up hill battle though. Then she felt something else. It was a rock hard fist in her face. She was thrown five feet away and landed on the hard floor. Her eye was killing her. She could feel it swelling up. She looked up with her good eye which was filling with tears. It was then she saw what had hit her. It was a monster. He was about 6' 2" 350 pounds of solid muscle and he was absolutely drunk. From what she could make of it he had meant to hit Shinji but had missed and hit her. "Are you all right Azuka?" Shinji asked. She didn't quite hear him right so she didn't respond she just kept clutching her eye and crying. "So I hit your little woman huh squirt whacha gonna do about it?" / Uhh Shinji man don't lose it on me. / / Shinji?/ / Hey Shinji!!!/ / SHINJI IKARI / / Aww crap he's gone loco. / The drunk hulk realized his fatal mistake the instant the small boy erupted in blue flames. Shinji lunged at him striking him multiple times in the head, chest and legs his hands flaming with chi energy which only doubled the force of his strikes. Out on the street a couple was walking by the bar when a wall exploded as a large man came through it. A young boy approximately 14 or 15 jumped out of the hole made by the man and landed with his feet strateling him. He formed his hand into a spear edge and held it above the man's face. It was aimed directly at the bridge of his nose. "If you ever touch her again." The large man cowered away and started apologizing profusely. Shinji unstradled the man and turned to go back into the bar to get Azuka only to find her standing at the entrance waiting for him. The manager of the bar had given her some ice to put on her eye to keep the swelling down. "Are you alright?" Shinji asked her. "Y. Yeah I'm fine." "Can I see?" he asked. She slowly removed the ice pack from her eye. "Oooh that's going to go black. Hey you want me to do the other one so you'll have a matching pair?" he asked her jokingly. "Baka." Shinji lowered his head. "I guess that's two dates ruined. Tell you what if you still want to go on another date we will just sit in the apartment and do absolutely nothing. That way nothing will go wrong." Azuka smiled a little at this. "It's getting late maybe we should be heading home?" Shinji looked at his watch. "Yeah I guess you're right, come on then let's header." As they walked along Azuka thought back to what Shinji had done. It frightened her. He had almost taken that guy apart. Why? Because he'd hit her? The more she thought about it the more confused she became. It was almost as if he was protecting her, could it possibly be that he loved her? If so her plan was coming off perfect. She decided to go in for a little gravy. She grabbed his hand and leaned in close to him. They walked that way the rest of the way to the apartment.
Authors Notes
Well this chapter was not exactly how I wanted it but oh well. I took a look at my outline just now. It seems that I messed up and this is no where near what my original story was supposed to be like. I guess then that I'll just have to see where I am at the end of the story and then go back and revise it.

Chapter 14: Enter Child 4
"No way, absolutely not!" Akane yelled. "But Mrs. Hibiki!" Misato pleaded. "We really need the help." "I don't care. My daughter is not getting put in one of those mechanical things no matter what you say!" Misato took a minute to calm herself. Trying to reason with Akane was proving very difficult indeed.

"Why the hell are you taking his advice anyway from what I've heard his love life really sucked when he was alive." Azuka snorted. "Well he had 3 fiancees and one crazy girl after him. All of which loved him with all their hearts. He risked his life untold many times saving Akane. I don't know. I think he did pretty good considering." / Thanks. / "Well if he had 3 fiancees then why the hell didn't he just choose one and get it over with? If you ask me he was a letch." "You do remember that he can hear everything you're saying don't you?" "So what if the Baka can hear everything I'm saying he can't hit girls. So I'm just fine." / My opinion of her just dropped. Why don't you go after Rei, she'd probably jump you're bones before you can finish asking her out./ ^ I don't know. Rei's nice but there's just something weird about her. I can't quite put my finger on it. ^ / Well I don't. Hey we're here. / Shinji looked around. ^ Where? ^ / Over there. / Ranma mentally pointed ^ That place? Are you crazy? ^ / Clinically that's possible. / "Ranma says we're here." "What? This place." Azuka pointed at the sign. "I guess so." ^ What the hell kind of a place is the 'Bump and Grind' ^ / It was a place I took Akane to a couple of times. It was really great. It was a disco. / ^ That was 20 years ago!! It looks like some sleazy bar/mosh pit. ^ / Too late to find some other place. / ^ If this sucks I'm going to hold you responsible. ^ Shinji took a step inside the place. Immediately a large hand was on his shoulder. "Hey whatcha' doin kid. Don ya know this is a bar. You'se can't be coming in here." Shinji pulled out his Nerv ID. "I think this says different." The bouncer took his hand off Shinji's shoulder. The kid was military and the one thing he knew was that you didn't mess with the military. "Well I guess if youse don have nuttin to drink it'd be ok." "Thanks. Come on Azuka let's go." Azuka took a hesitant step inside the place. It was quite obvious this place had been a disco but had been hastily converted into a night club. There were about twenty or thirty people scattered in various places. There was a light lit dance floor and a stoned out DJ cranking out some heavy thrasher tunes. "Do you want to get anything to drink or would you like to dance?" "I think we should dance. I don't think that I want to drink anything here." She said as she watched a particularly large roach crawl out of one of the glasses. They walked out to the dance floor in between songs. Shinji noticed that the DJ had what looked to be some of those little paste on temporary tattoos. He seemed to be enjoying them immensely. He hit the play button on the DAT player and a song slowly cranked to life. Since he was tripping on acid he'd put the wrong tape in the machine. Instead of more thrash music it was some slow mood music. It was as if fate or the gods had destined it to be. Shinji bowed deeply like a gentleman and took Azuka's hand. He pulled her in close and they started dancing. Azuka was getting scared. She liked it. She truly liked dancing this close to Shinji. No that wasn't quite right, she didn't like just the dancing she just liked being close to him. She wasn't falling for him, was she? This just wouldn't do her revenge depended on breaking HIS heart, love was for the weak, caring and compassion would only hurt you in the end. She must stay focused. Staying focused when she could feel his rock hard chest against hers was an up hill battle though. Then she felt something else. It was a rock hard fist in her face. She was thrown five feet away and landed on the hard floor. Her eye was killing her. She could feel it swelling up. She looked up with her good eye which was filling with tears. It was then she saw what had hit her. It was a monster. He was about 6' 2" 350 pounds of solid muscle and he was absolutely drunk. From what she could make of it he had meant to hit Shinji but had missed and hit her. "Are you all right Azuka?" Shinji asked. She didn't quite hear him right so she didn't respond she just kept clutching her eye and crying. "So I hit your little woman huh squirt whacha gonna do about it?" / Uhh Shinji man don't lose it on me. / / Shinji?/ / Hey Shinji!!!/ / SHINJI IKARI / / Aww crap he's gone loco. / The drunk hulk realized his fatal mistake the instant the small boy erupted in blue flames. Shinji lunged at him striking him multiple times in the head, chest and legs his hands flaming with chi energy which only doubled the force of his strikes. Out on the street a couple was walking by the bar when a wall exploded as a large man came through it. A young boy approximately 14 or 15 jumped out of the hole made by the man and landed with his feet strateling him. He formed his hand into a spear edge and held it above the man's face. It was aimed directly at the bridge of his nose. "If you ever touch her again." The large man cowered away and started apologizing profusely. Shinji unstradled the man and turned to go back into the bar to get Azuka only to find her standing at the entrance waiting for him. The manager of the bar had given her some ice to put on her eye to keep the swelling down. "Are you alright?" Shinji asked her. "Y. Yeah I'm fine." "Can I see?" he asked. She slowly removed the ice pack from her eye. "Oooh that's going to go black. Hey you want me to do the other one so you'll have a matching pair?" he asked her jokingly. "Baka." Shinji lowered his head. "I guess that's two dates ruined. Tell you what if you still want to go on another date we will just sit in the apartment and do absolutely nothing. That way nothing will go wrong." Azuka smiled a little at this. "It's getting late maybe we should be heading home?" Shinji looked at his watch. "Yeah I guess you're right, come on then let's header." As they walked along Azuka thought back to what Shinji had done. It frightened her. He had almost taken that guy apart. Why? Because he'd hit her? The more she thought about it the more confused she became. It was almost as if he was protecting her, could it possibly be that he loved her? If so her plan was coming off perfect. She decided to go in for a little gravy. She grabbed his hand and leaned in close to him. They walked that way the rest of the way to the apartment.
Authors Notes
Well this chapter was not exactly how I wanted it but oh well. I took a look at my outline just now. It seems that I messed up and this is no where near what my original story was supposed to be like. I guess then that I'll just have to see where I am at the end of the story and then go back and revise it.
