"We're sorry. Due to the state of the special emergency, no lines are currently available." the phone chimed at him.

Shinji Ikari stared at it for a time, then hung it up. Stepping away from it he mumbled something about the phone's lack of intelligence and how he should have never come. He looks at a photograph with the picture of a woman on it. The woman is leaning over, giving the peace sign, and showing an ample amount of cleavage with her extremely low collar.

There is lipstick on the picture and a note telling him to check out her cleavage. These things are not the real eye catcher of the picture though. The real thing holding his attention is how it also says that she will meet him at the train station, and also the fact that her fingers seem to be on fire. Not but fifteen years before, most would say that the image was altered, but since second impact, people would believe that it was very possible for her fingers to be on fire without burning.

Shinji knew first hand the mutating effects of second impact, for it effected all unborn children at the time, and even some already born people. Children grew up, each with their own unique abilities. Some became very dangerous, either from the extreme power of their abilities, or because they used their abilities for dangerous things, or both. Shinji was the first.

"I guess we won't be meeting here." he said in a bored and slightly depressed voice.

Suddenly their was a tremendous explosion that rocked the ground and left a loud ringing in his ears. He looked to see several UN aircraft slowly backing away and firing at something that was blocked from his view by a large hill. Then their target came into view.

It was a tremendously large creature. It looked like something out of a bad dream with its black body that had a kind of green tint to it and the various spikes and bone like plates on its shoulders. Shinji wondered for a second if it was someone had enlarged themselves. He had heard of some kids that could enlarge themselves, and others that could transform into monster like creatures, but never something like this thing.

The missiles and bullets stopped shortly in front of it, never reaching the creature itself. It was obviously protected by some type of field. Shinji had heard of those that were protected by fields like that as well, but never anything this strong. At seeing this, Shinji did the only thing he could think of. He screamed in terror of the beast.

Suddenly the creature swatted at one of the aircraft. It knocked it out of the air, and right towards Shinji. He shouted in fear as it landed not too far in front of him, shrapnel landing all around him. Suddenly the creature flew through the air and landed on top of the plane.

The plane exploded and shrapnel came raining down towards him. Shinji audibly swore as he quickly threw his bag out of the way. Then the pieces of metal shrapnel fell upon him, seemingly crushing him.

Misato came speeding around the street corner just in time to see the boy she could only assume to be Shinji crushed by at least a ton of metal shrapnel from the crushed plane. The car came to a screeching halt as she gaped in horror at the scene. Then something unexpected happened.

The top of the pile of metal melted forming a hole. Out of that hole floated a bluish green fiery form of a person that could only be compared to a demon from one's nightmare. It's skull was bald, and bluish green fire licked out of its empty looking eye sockets. It's body showed no signs of clothes, but also looked like it were wearing a body suite that were skin tight but covering the waist. Over all, it's body resembled something like the Human Torch from the Fantastic Four comics. Misato was about ready to wet herself to say the least.

It floated there a second, melting the metal that was still around it, before floating to the street beside the pile. Suddenly the figure's flames were lost and it seemingly transformed in front of her eyes into Shinji. Quickly he ran and grabbed his bag off the ground. It was at this point that he noticed Misato's car, and her staring at him. Recognizing her from the picture, he ran for the car. She quickly shoved the door open and jammed the car in gear for a quick escape from the giant beast that threatened to step on them.

Jumping into the car, Shinji slammed his door shut and buckled up. Before he could say a word the car was going at extremely high speeds, dodging giant feet as it went. It wasn't long at all before they were at a somewhat safe distance away from the creature.

"What was that thing back there?!" Shinji said in a loud voice, still on an adrenaline high.

"That, was an Angel." Misato answered. "Sorry about being late, but I'm still getting used to driving around this city."

"That's okay, what matters is that you got there in time. I might have got stepped on if you hadn't of shown up when you did." he said, finally calming down.

"Yeah… mind explaining what I just saw back there?" she said as they reached the top of a hill far from the creature and stopped the car.

"Oh, that." Shinji said nervously, and with a bit of depression in his voice. "I can alter my physical structure to that of super heated plasma. While I'm in that form, I'm almost completely invincible. But I can't control the extreme heat enough to keep from hurting people or the things around me, so I don't transform when too close to people."

"Oh, right, well that's unusual for sure. For a moment I thought that you were some kind of Oni when you melted through the metal." Misato said with a nervous laugh as she grabbed her binoculars and leaned over Shinji to get a look through his window at the Angel.

She watched for a few moments. The UN was attacking for all they were worth, with no effect at all. Suddenly all the aircrafts took off heading away as fast as they could.

"Hey wait… OH NO! THEIR GOING TO USE A N2 MINE!!!" with that she shoved Shinji's head down and covered him with her body. "GET DOWN!"

The explosion that followed was tremendous. Shinji couldn't tell which was up or down as the car rolled from the force of the shockwave. Never had he ever felt something like that before in his life. Finally it all stopped, and he was still being suffocated by Misato pressing into him.

"Mrease het ofph…" was all Shinji managed to get out.

"What?" Misato asked as she finally got off of him.

Shinji gasped for much needed air. His face had been turning blue due to the lack of oxygen. Finally his breathing had returned to normal.

"I asked you to get off. I couldn't breath!" Shinji exclaimed.

"Oh, oops…" Misato said as she laughed her nervous and embarrassed laugh. Once again today.

Shinji just struggled his way out of the car. After the car had stopped rolling, it had landed on its side. Because of this, getting out of the car without stepping on Misato proved difficult. This was the reason that he fell out of the car when he tried to get out the window and Misato forced the door open at that exact moment.

"Oops… sorry. Are you alright Shinji?" Misato asked slightly concerned.

"Yeah, just got a mouth full of dirt is all." he said as he spat out the offending dirt.

"Yeah, heh heh… I really didn't mean for that to happen. Sorry."

"It's alright, I guess." Shinji answered.

At the moment he was busy watching Misato get out of the car, witch some how involved shoving her rear end into his face. He was temporarily mesmerized by this site. This ended tough, as she slipped and ended up sitting on his head. She quickly got off and pulled him up.

"That's what you get for starring at me. Now be useful and help me flip the car back over." she said in a somewhat scolding voice. "But thanks for the attention! You just made my day!" Misato said giving the peace sign, smiling like an idiot, and sounding like a giddy school girl.

"Ummm… whatever. Sorry." Shinji apologized, somewhat dazed by her strange behavior and quick change in attitude.

They both stood against the roof of the car and pushed their backs against it. Thanks to Misato using a form of telekinesis to help in pushing the car, they managed to get it over rather easily. Misato smiled and clapped the dust off her hands for a second.

"Hey, I didn't know that you were also a psychic type. What else you got?" Shinji asked curiously.

"Not much more then shields and a few other things. There's a lot you don't know about me Shinji."

"I could say the same thing here Misato." Shinji said sounding slightly depressed.

Soon they were once again on their way. Shinji was still slightly nervous about them having stole several car batteries. Misato continued to reassure him that it was alright though because she was a government official and it was an emergency.

"You know, I don't think that anyone will buy your excuses Misato. I sure don't." Shinji said

with a small grin at seeing her desperately trying to find another good excuse.

"Oh, you're no fun! You know, you're not as cute as I thought you'd be." she said playfully mocking him.

"Humph, you're not as mature as I expected either." he said matter-of-factly.

"WHAT?" she exclaimed as she swerved the car all over the road tossing him about.

Finally she had stopped swerving the car like a mad woman and boarded it onto a express car-train headed underground. Shinji starred at her face for a few moments. Misato began to worry that he would do something she would regret, like set the car on fire or something like that.

(You really think that I'm cute? How interesting.) Misato heard in her mind. The only thing was, it was Shinji's voice that she heard. SHINJI'S VOICE?!

"STOP THAT?!" she screamed at him.

"What, you've never met a telepath before?" he asked casually.

"YES, but I don't like people reading my thoughts!"

"Oh, really? I'm sorry to have to tell you, but my father's a telepath like me. He's probably been monitoring you surface thoughts like I just did." Shinji said casually, with the slightest grin on his face.

Misato had the most scared look on her face Shinji had ever seen on a person in his life. He noted that his father must be a pretty powerful man if Misato was this scared of him. He decided to change the subject, quickly.

"So what's up with the flaming fingers in the picture? You got some kind of fire ability?" he asked, almost rushing his words.

"Uh… oh, yeah. Well, actually I can fire off energy bolts of flame in several different ways. I am also immune to fire or extreme heat. So you don't have to worry about hurting me or anything." she said almost cheerfully again.

"Oh really? Well, don't go thinking that just because you can't be hurt, means that you clothes can't catch fire. So stay away from me in my plasma state please." Shinji requested with a serious look on his face.

"Yeah, well, alright. Although, I can also call up a force field to protect me from that. But, I'll stay away anyways. Thanks for the warning."

They sat like that for a few moments, in silence. Finally something clicked in Misato's mind.

"Oh yeah! Did your dad send you a ID card?" she asked suddenly.

"Uh, yeah. Here it is." he said handing it over.

Misato took a glance at it, then handed him something.

"Here, read this…" she said, going off into thought again.

Shinji took the NERV manual from her. He opened it up and began to read the first page.

"NERV… is this what My father's been working on for years?" Shinji said in a soft voice.

"Uh huh. You don't know what he does?" Misato asked in a almost shocked voice. She knew she shouldn't have been so shocked though, with the nature of NERV.

"No. All my teachers told me was that his work was for the protection of mankind. They rarely spoke of it, and they never told me any more then that." Shinji said, almost in a whisper. "Am I going to be working for him?" he asked Misato.

Misato just kept silent, starring into the distance. She seemed to be remembering something.

"Of course, he wouldn't send for me unless he had a purpose for me." Shinji said bitterly, mostly to himself.

Misato sat back in her seat and starred at the ceiling of her car.

"Sound's like you and your dad don't get along too well." she said as she starred at the ceiling. She sighs loudly for a moment, then continues. "You sound just like me."

Before Shinji had any time to wonder about what she meant, they entered into what he could only assume was a Geo-Front. City buildings hung from the Geo-Front's ceiling, as if the city were turned upside down. There was a magnificent lake at the bottom, with a huge pyramid beside it.

"WOW!!! A real Geo-Front! It's awesome!" Shinji exclaimed as he starred at the Geo-Front.

"Yep. This is NERV central. This city is the key to rebuilding mankind, a fortress for all mankind. It was designed to stand against the attacks from the Angels."

Soon Shinji and Misato were standing on what could be called 'moving pavement' (what do you call those things again?) trying to find their way around NERV. Misato was starring vainly at a map, glaring almost as if it were the map's fault that they were lost. Shinji just kept reading the manual.

"What on earth! Isn't this the way?!" Misato asked no one. "Sorry, I'm still not used to this place. Where's Ritsuko?"

"We've passed this place twice already." Shinji stated casually as he continued to read the manual, never looking up.

"Well, don't worry. They make these transit things to be used you know."

Very soon they approached a elevator just to the side of the path they were taking.

"This has to be the way. Come on Shinji!" she said as she lead the way to the elevator.

Suddenly the doors opened to reveal a blond woman wearing a lab coat over a one piece swim suite. She glared dangerously at Misato. Misato just grinned nervously, like a small child trying to get out of being punished by being cute. Misato and Shinji stepped onto the elevator, Shinji never once looking up to even acknowledge her presence.

"Why are you wasting my time Misato? Don't you know we're lacking time and resources to go looking for you?" the woman asked sounding quite upset with her, as if scolding a small child.

"Eh, sorry Ritsuko." Misato said nervously.

"Is this him?" Ritsuko asked glancing at Shinji for a moment.

Shinji just ignored her for some reason. He kept on reading that manual as if he didn't have anything else in the world to do. Ritsuko didn't seem to be offended though. She acted as if she was just fine with his silence.

"Yeah. He's just like his father, in the non-social part." Misato said casually.

"Why, what do you mean Misato? We've just had a very nice conversation." Ritsuko responded.

Misato starred at her friend for a moment blankly. Then she suddenly remembered that Ritsuko was a telepath. Misato suddenly glared at the both of them as they started to smile a very stupid 'we know something you don't' smile.

"STOP TALKING ABOUT ME!" Misato screeched at them. She was really hating not being a telepath right about now.

They got off the elevator and got on another type of elevator and got on a lift of some type. Shinji wasn't really paying any attention to what they were saying now. His conversation had ended after Misato's outburst. Now he had returned to his reading. The light was a bit difficult, and was coming from something what had a strange red collar, but he could still make out what he was reading. They got off the lift and were put onto a boat, apparently they were over some type of red liquid, and speeded over to another catwalk. They walked into another room.

Suddenly the lights went out. Shinji cried out in surprise. He was tempted to transform to light up the room, but then remembered that the two women were standing directly on either side of him. Just then the lights came back on.

"WHAT IS THAT THING!!!" Shinji shouted as he stared at a giant face before him.

"That is an Evangelion. Humanities last hope against the Angels." Ritsuko answered.

"Is this what My father's been working on?" Shinji asked.

"Correct!" came the answer from above, in a very deep and booming voice.

Shinji looked up to see the dark figure of his father glaring down at him from a room above the Evangelion's head.

"Father." Shinji almost whispered.

He starred long and hard at him. His glare would have killed if looks could kill a man. His father returned the glare with no emotion at all in his face. It seemed that this would go on forever when something snapped inside Shinji.

"FAHTER!!!" Shinji shouted as he suddenly transformed and took off at him at amazing speeds.

The force of his heated flight sent the two women flying to the sides as Shinji shot at his father at a speed of two hundred miles per hour. The heat of his body was superheating the air around him, propelling him like a living jet engine. With the enraged look on his face, he looked like a terrible demon from one's nightmares.

His body melted through the protective glass Gendo was behind in a matter of moments, and he was through. He literally grabbed onto his father, and surrounded his body. The man actually screamed in intense pain as he tried to raise some sort of shield to protect himself from the heat. It was no use as his body burned away in a under thirty seconds.

The laughter that Shinji had coming from his body was chilling, even in the heat of his body. Nothing was left of Gendo Ikari now. The heat around Shinji burned hotter as fire was erupting all around him. Soon the entire room on the upper level was ablaze as Shinji stood there, melting the metal under his feet.

Misato and Ritsuko starred in horror at the scene they had seen, and that they were watching. They had seen the most powerful man on the planet burned alive by his own son. There was nothing they could have done to stop him. Conventional weapons were useless, and Misato's abilities would have only fueled his flames of hatred for his father.

Suddenly the sprinklers came on and put out the flames rather quickly as Shinji turned back to his normal state. He still stood there in the melted spot of metal that still smoked as it cooled. Shinji looked around at the damage he had caused, and smiled a smile that Ritsuko had only seen his father make before. It chilled her to the bone.

"I expected as much from you Shinji. I must say that I am actually somewhat proud of you." came the voice of his dead father.

He turned to see his father standing in the doorway at the back of the room. Misato and Ritsuko starred with the jaws hanging loosely. Shinji only smirked at his father.

"So, it was just a doppelganger?" Shinji asked.

"Correct. I predicted you would attempt a lethal act towards me, so I created it to make sure." Gendo said, still with little emotion in his voice.

"Why did you call for me father?" Shinji asked, almost with as much of a cold voice as his father.

"To pilot the Evangelion unit 01." his father stated mater-of-factly.

Shinji thought for a moment. His face was dead almost it was so emotionless. He starred hard at his father as he thought about it. Then he stepped to the edge of the hole he had created in the window. Transforming he flew back to the catwalk, and turned back to normal state again.

"What if I say no?"

"Mankind will be doomed." Gendo said coldly.

Just then the ground shook. Everyone looked up in fear but Shinji and Gendo. They continued to stare at each other.

"It must have sensed us. Make your decision now Shinji." Gendo said, never breaking eye contact.

Just then the ground shook again. A beam of metal came loose and fell directly towards Shinji He didn't move for some reason, continuing to stare at his father. Just as the beam was about to land on him, the Eva reacted.

The Eva's right arm shot out of the liquid and deflected the beam. It flew and hit the glass that was still protecting Gendo. A few pieces of shrapnel got through the hole left by Shinji, but were stopped by a field Gendo had erected to protect himself, originally from Shinji.

Shinji totally ignored how everyone was freaking out about how the Eva protected him. He didn't care really. He knew that he would have probably lived through it. All he seemingly cared about was trying to kill his father with his stare.

"It is agreed. I will pilot as long as my demands are met." Shinji said coldly.

"Agreed." Gendo said.

Misato wondered what the heck they were talking about. She realized they were probably communicating telepathically. She still couldn't believe what was happening.

"This is insane! He can't pilot! It took Rei seven months to synch with her Eva! Unit 01 might not even activate! He doesn't know what to do! How can we expect him to be able to fight the Angel!"

"We have to do this Misato! We have no other choice! We have to take this chance or we will all die! Do you understand Captain Katsuragi?" Ritsuko asked.

Misato starred hard at Ritsuko for a moment. Ritsuko just returned the glare, possibly even more intensely. Finally Misato sighed, defeated, and averted her eyes to the ground.

"Yes, I suppose."

The events following this seemed to flow at intense speeds. Before Shinji knew it almost, he was in the plug with the synch clips in his hair. Soon he heard the order to launch the Evangelion. Suddenly it jolted, being sent upward at incredible speeds. The gravity forces he was feeling were pressing him into his seat. During all this his face was a cold and emotionless as his father's.

Suddenly the Eva stopped, having reached the surface. Shinji looked around, being able to see through the eyes of the Eva. It was incredible, having everything that seemed to huge to him before, reduced to equal size with him. Though, he still showed no emotion.

"Alright Shinji, just concentrate on walking. Try and take a step forward." Ritsuko ordered.

"Hai." Shinji replied.

He closed his eyes in concentration. Using his will and small telepathic abilities, he willed the Eva to walk. The large Eva took a step. Everyone released the breath that they never knew they were holding. Suddenly the Eva tripped over it's own power cord.

The bridge crew started to panic now.

"The Angel is approaching the Eva!" cried the woman at the computers.

"Shinji! Get up! You have to get up now!" Misato yelled.

The Angel picked up the Eva by the head. It grabbed the Eva's arm and broke it there on the spot. Shinji cringed in intense pain. The neural connection almost had him convinced that it was really his arm that broke. He would have tried to use his other arm for some kind of defense, but the Angel had other plans.

The Angel began to use the energy spike in its arm on the Eva's eye. Shinji continued to cringe in pain as he held his eye. His temper was quickly taking over his actions. Suddenly he shouted as his right arm rose up and smashed down at the Angel's head. It looked like it should have snapped the Angel' neck with the force it used. The Angel just flexed its neck some, and then continued to attack his eye.

Finally it sent the spike through the head of the Eva and sent it flying backwards into a building. The Eva fell and blood sprayed out of the hole in its head. Shinji was now fully screaming in intense pain and rage. No one heard his screams though, because the com systems were down.

Suddenly Shinji heard another scream of rage. No, it was more like a deep roar of intense rage. Again Shinji could see, but he couldn't control the actions of the Eva. What crept him out the most was that he could hear the thoughts of the Eva.

(KILL!KILL!KILL!KILL!KILL!KILL!KILL!KILL!KILL!KILL!KILL!KILL!KILL!!!!!)

Suddenly the Eva crouched and then launched itself an incredible distance. It landed directly on the Angel's chest and shoulders. The Eva went to clawing and beating on the Angel. The Angel however, managed to throw the Eva off of it.

The Eva landed and turned to face the Angel again. It roared again as it charged at the angel with its arms outstretched at its sides. Suddenly it hit the protective field the Angel had. Quickly the Eva regenerated its broken arm and seemed to grab at the center of the field.

With a sound like the tearing of fabric, the Eva ripped through the field. Before it could do anything though, the Angel shot it with some sort of beam that formed into a cross pattern after knocking the Eva back a very long distance. The Eva quickly charged back at it though.

It quickly grabbed the Angel's two arms and twisted them at an impossible angle, breaking them and spraying blood everywhere. The Eva held its arms like this and placed its foot on the chest of the Angel. With a mighty thrust of its leg, the Eva sent the Angel flying across the city, pushing a building back half a mile or so.

The Eva climbed on top of the Angel and started to smash at the round orb at the center of its chest. Shinji assumed this was something like the heart of the thing. Then the Eva ripped open the chest more by parting the spines protecting the orb. Now the Eva began to beat it with a broken off spine.

(MUST KILL THE ANGEL!!! MUST KILL THE ANGEL!!! MUST PROTECT SHINJI!!!)

Before Shinji could wonder what he was hearing from the Eva, the Angel suddenly climbed onto his face. There was a large bright light. Shinji felt some pain. Suddenly the Eva was walking back out the huge explosion the was the Angel's self destruction. If he could have seen what the Eva looked like, he would have said he looked like a demon out of hell. A image fitting to Shinji, for that is what he appeared as when he was in his plasma state as well.

Finally the explosion dimmed and faded away. The Eva stopped walking, stopping next to a building that still had glass. It was like standing next to a mirror. Shinji was curios about the voice he was hearing.

(Who are you?) Shinji tried to ask the Eva.

(………………) there was no response from the Eva.

Just then the helmet of the Eva fell off. Shinji looked to the right, seeing the reflection of the Eva in the mirror like building. He watched as the eye regenerated itself, and starred back at him. Shinji couldn't take the stress anymore.

"AAAAAHHHHH!!!!"

=====================================================================

So, what do you think? Have any promise? Got suggestions for improvements? Just so you know, I'm wanting this to be a Shinji/Asuka fic. Yes I know something in here don't go with the story line, like totally not having Rei in there. Well, it's my story. Shinji's personality is different somewhat because of his abilities and how they effected his life. But also I wanted him to have some of his father's coldness in him, instead of super spinelessness. Rei will come in the next chapter. Don't worry, I have something cool meant for her.

Should I have Rei paired with anyone? Any preferences? Any other couples I should think of trying? Answer me if you feel like it. E-mail is andross937@yahoo.com Thanks for reading!
