******
Presenting Act 2 of the fourth chapter
*****
"They're Shinji's classmates!"
Shinji held the Shamshiel's feelers with extreme pain. "Ahh! It Burns!"
"Shinji!" Misato's voice crackled through the comm, "Eject your entry plug, and get them into the entry plug! We'll control the Eva from here!"
"…" Shinji ejected the plug.
***** Command Center *****
Ritsuko fumed.
"What make you think we can control this beast? If we could have done this by remote control, then maybe, just MAYBE it would have been easier to fight the angels."
"Um, he he, we're getting his classmates onboard anyway," Misato started sweating.
"The Entry plug has ejected!" Maya shouted.
***** Battlefield *****
Kensuke and Touji both heard a woman's voice shout: "Get into to the entry plug, quick!"
Kensuke and Touji looked at each other, "Well, we would have, but it's a little walk."
Both the boys looked at the entry plug, which had landed at the top of the mountain.
Shamshiel slowly, without anyone noticing, hesitated. Hmmm…I thought those brats were supposed to get into the entry plug before the battle continued. Oh, this is not according to the scenario
The battered Eva 01 silently nodded. Maybe we should move up the mountain
Both the angel and the Eva slowly crawled up to the top of the mountain, without the NERV crew noticing. Touji and Kensuke tagged along.
***** Half an hour later
*Puff Puff* both boy finally reached the summit of the mountain. The beautiful sunset greeted their eyes.
"AH! The light! It's Blinding! I can't see! I'm going blind!!!"
The angelic fighters glared at them. How do you think we feel? We had to wait for you guys!
***** Anyways…
"Get into the entry plug!"
Kensuke and Touji scrambled into the plug.
"My Camera!"
"Its water!"
Once they got in, they could see the battle. Shinji had once again taken reign. "AHH!" Shinji tossed Shamshiel back.
Shamshiel slowed down as Eva 01 got up.
Misato screamed across the com set, "RETREAT!"
Shinji just stood there, pondering at the scene.
"RETREAT! WE'LL FIGHT AT POINT D4"
"You heard the lady, come on Transfer!"
"I musn't run away, I musn't run away, I musn't run away…"
"Shinji!"
Shinji snapped his eyes open. He saw Asuka in the command center (via. Vid comm), holding the microphone. "Don't die! How can I prove I'm the best if there's no one to prove it to? SHINJI!"
"Internal batteries have 1 min left!" Maya shouted.
"I MUSN'T RUN AWAY!" Shinji charged suddenly as he combusted into a living berserker.
Shamshiel waved his feelers. About time
***** On the streets *****
Pen Pen waddled up to Shamshiel. "WARK!" What's the wager that he runs away?
Shamshiel looked down. $5. You're on
***** In the eyes of Eva 01 *****
A fly was splattered by the huge G-force coming from Shinji.
"I MUST RUN!"
Shamshiel was chasing Eva 01.
Eva 01 stopped. ARGH FRIGGIN HELL! I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE! JUST KILL THE FRIGGIN THING
***** Entry Plug *****
Shinji looked at the angelic figure coming towards him. "Mother?"
Touji and Kensuke, unnoticed by the writer, took their opportunity to talk to Shinji.
"Shinji! We've run out of time!"
Shinji pulled out his progressive knife.
"5 seconds left!" Maya shouted in fear.
The blade drew out as Shinji held it forward.
The beeping digits "Out of Power" displayed on the screen.
***** Battlefield *****
Shamshiel looked on, confused. Why god? Why must you make me suffer? I'm supposed to die, don't prolong it
Shamshiel jumped into the small knife and bled to death. There. Someone's got to do the job
***** In the Eva
Shinji stared as the angel 'finished' the job. "Wah?"
***** End of great Eva battle against Shamshiel *****
***** NERV HQ *****
Shinji looked up as light entered the detention cell he was situated in.
"Hello Shinji!" Asuka looked on predatorily.
"Um…Hi!"
"I never got to thank you for saving me from battle. So, how about I make it up to you?"
"Um…I don't want to force you…" Shinji started to sweat profusely.
"Don't worry."
"Err…"
Asuka rubbed against Shinji, "Baka! You don't get the hint do you?"
"Um…no." Shinji hastily looked at the script provided by the fanfic writer. "Wasn't Misato supposed to interrogate me?"
"Commander Ikari gave me authority to come here," Asuka said before giving him a peck on the cheek and fleeting off.
***** Two days later *****
Misato Matsuragi, Guru on all things containing Yebitsu, decided to check on Shinji.
"Shinji, I'm coming in." Misato gave warning.
Shinji was nowhere to be seen. On his desk was a note:
Dear Misato,
I'm currently on a date with Asuka, be back after dinner.
Shinji
(What did you expect? For Shinji to run away? Asuka's not going to let him drown in self-pity)
***** Shinji's date *****
Shinji was dressed in an apron. Cleaning Asuka's apartment. (Room 402 if you're wondering)
"Oh, and could you cook dinner please Shin-chan?" Asuka asked sweetly.
"Hai."
"So, how do I look?" Asuka jumped Shinji as he set the food.
Shinji looked at Asuka and blushed. "Heavens no."
Asuka was dressed in a tight red bikini, showing her curves to Shinji.
I'm one lucky boy Shinji thought.
He's so cute! Asuka thought.
***** Meanwhile…
Gendo Ikari was watching through a hidden camera.
Go you stud. Show her the Ikari charm
***** End Chapter 4 *****
Okay, a few things to address here. Asuka seem SO out of character in this fanfic, but it'll all be explained in the next chapter.
Shinji didn't break down and cry because he was too confused by the angel attack.
I'll improve and detail more character development in the later chapters.
And yes, I'm planning a Shinji/Asuka fic here, though I like Shinji/ Hiraki pairings more.
And by the way, my target amount of chapters is 30, so any criticism is very welcome.
