Darkened Exodus: Evangelion
Author's rants: I'm feeling the need for a celebratory 'Woohoo'! Three whole chapters, be warned faithful readers, this fic could go on for a while. And also, to answer Magius' question, the incorrect spelling of Asuka wasn't intentional, on my copy of the directors' version of the series, when the subtitles are on it spells her name 'Auska' or 'Asuska', it's weird, I know. Anyway I corrected the mistake in this chapter and I'm gonna go back and fix it in the previous chapters. Enjoy! Dark Eva

Darkened Exodus: Evangelion
Episode 0:3 Countdown to destruction 1
***
Third Cranial NERV, briefing room. Commander Fuyutsuki was standing at the head of the table. He stood; his face was hard and serious. Major Katsuragi was the only one who new what this was all about, but even so, the expression on the commander's face unnerved her. It reminded her allot of the late Commander Kari's face.
"I'm sure you all want to know why you're been brought here." The room filled with nods and quiet yeses.
"We have intercepted transmissions over a low band frequency of the SEELE organization's conversations an -" Asuka rose to her feet.
"SEELE. Those bastards, so how are we going to attack them? " Asuka smiled at the prospect of a battle, she had obviously forgotten that they'd hardly even finished gathering up the pieces of her Unit 2, never mind beginning the repairs to it.
"We won't be attacking, they will be coming here. They have constructed six new production model Evangelions, we are guessing they'll all have S2 engines similar to the Eva series units you fought prior to Third Impact." As he spoke, Asuka sank back into her chair. She remembered her battle her battle with the Eva series drones and what they did to her and Unit 2, she didn't want a repeat of last time, but she couldn't let them know she was scared.
"Piece of cake, just show me where to hit." Asuka hoped that would confirm to the others her confidence.
"Until we have Unit 2 operational, you won't be hitting anything, Shinji will be our primary attack force." Asuka scowled and pouted at the commander. Shinji, sat in his chair, he didn't want to go back in the Eva.
"But sir, I wasn't able to synchronize with the Eva, how will I fight?" Shinij looked pleadingly at the commander, hoping this excuse would get him off piloting Unit 1.
"Then you will try again until you can synchronize!" Shinji wasn't used to Fuyusutsuki's voice being so angry. Shinji sank further back into his chair and frowned. Misato saw this and stood up.
"With all due respect sir, Shinji has endured a lot, wouldn't it be a good idea t---"
"Enough! They are bringing six Evas, even with unit1, Shinji will need a sync ratio of well over 212% to beat all six, and he'll need unit 2's assistance. This is war, there's no room for weakness!
"Gendo" Dr. Akagi thought to herself as she walked round to the computer screen to present her report.
"We have a little less than three days to get our defenses ready. SEELE has told the JSSDF that we initiated third impact and so the Japanese government has approved their attack. We will have to defeat the six Evas and if possible retrieve there parts, now that we're considered an enemy of Japan, they've cut our funds."
"And how exactly are we going to keep this place running without any money? We can't live by Eva alone." Misato said angrily.
"Very true major, Ibuki."
"Thank you Dr , we have discovered secret funds that Commander Ikari left to us in the event of his death, the total amount will be enough to keep NERV running for a least a year."
"At least that's one problem solved." Misato sat back in her chair.
"Indeed, now Asuka, you will begin image training immediately, just because your Eva's not functional doesn't mean you can get out of shape." "No problem commander." Asuka gave the commander a little salute before sitting back in her seat.
"Good, pilots, Major, you are dismissed. The rest of you, I need Unit 1 ready for a second activation trial tomorrow."
The room slowly emptied until only Commander Fuyutsuki was left. He sat alone at the head of the table. He rocked back and forth in his chair. He was thinking of Gendo, and how he came to acquire that huge amount of money. Did he know that Third Impact would fail, or were these funds for something else? He got up out of his seat, as he was just about to leave the room, he turned round and gazed across the empty place.
"Am I pushing them too hard?" He stopped and waited for an answer, no sound was to be heard.
"No harder than you'd push them." The commander laughed. He left the room and went into his new office.

PenPen was raiding the fridge, he found the usual beer and instant curry Misato was infamous for serving to guests, uuuhh. PenPen let out a long sigh and returned to his little room, beer can in hand. Just then the door burst open, Shinji, Asuka and Misato walked through to the living room. They clumped down on the sofa and chairs.
"So Third Child, is the little baby scared of his activation trial?"Asuka laughed. Misato whipped her head round at the red head.
"Shut up Asuka, leave him alone."
"Hmmpf" Shinji sat n his chair, happy that Misato was sticking up for him. He thought back to the activation trial and what his mother had said to him. After thinking on it for he decided not to spend any more time fretting over the event. If he didn't think about it, maybe it didn't happen.
Misato got up of her seat and stretched her arms.
"Anyone for my instant currey?"Misato said encouragely.
"Noooooo" The two pilots screamed. Asuka turned round to Shinji.
"If you keep that mad woman away from the kitchen you can have the room, deal?" Asuka whispered as Misato put on her 'Kiss the cook' apron.
"Please!"
Shinji thought it over for a while and said yes. Asuka let out a sigh of relief. Shinij got up and told Misato he would do the cooking.
After dinner Misato and Asuka went into the living room to watch their soaps. Shinji decided to leave them alone and go straight to bed. He got changed and slipped under the covers. He felt himself drift off into a sleep. Something roused him though; it was his bedroom door opening. He looked over the covers to see Misato walk over and sit at the end of his bed.
"Shinji."
"Yes Misato"
"I need to know what you saw in the Eva during the activation trial." Shinji gasped and turned his head away from Misato. He couldn't tell her.
"Please Shinji." He drove his head deeper under the covers and covered his ears. He waited for a while till she went, but she didn't move a muscle. He realized that he would have to tell her. He took the covers away from his head and faced her.
"I saw, my mother, she said she would see me soon, I didn't understand." Misato's expression was bleak. She put her hand on Shinji's shoulder to comfort him.
"It's O.k." Misato left the room. She closed the door behind her and went into her purse. She racked through it until she found her cell phone. She dialed a number and placed it to her ear.
"Yes commander, it was as you expected. Yes he will be ready for tomorrow. Goodbye sir." She closed the cell phone and put it back in her purse. Misato Katsuragi then went through to her bedroom and good into her bed. As she lay there she thought to herself:
"Yui, what are you up to?" Misato tossed and turned in her bed for a while before eventually getting to sleep.
