Argon Genesis: Evangelion
Chapter 5: Ambushed!
_-_-_
A dark figure walked through Tokyo 3. The funny thing was it was daytime.
The figure was walking through the dark sewers so, obviously, the figure would be in the dark so it would be a dark figure, right? Okay, so we have a dark figure walking through a dark sewer.
How, you might ask if you could, could there be sewers in Tokyo 3? Well, there is an area between the surface and the geofront which I, for simplicities sake will call underground. This is the realm of the sewers.
The dark figure continues walking until it reaches a ladder going up. The figure climbs the ladder and opens a manhole cover. Light pours into the hole and we see that the figure is a male human clad in robes which look medieval. If anyone other than his close friends saw him like this they would probably find it quite humorous.
However if anyone except his close friends saw him like this it would probably be their last day alive. Why would it be their last day alive? Because no one messes with Boris Sigmund Arthur Clements Orion Voltimandis and lives to tell of it. Well, no one I know anyway. Because absolutely no one has ever seen him like this except his close friends and they are all dead. The other reason is that Russian Sorcerers who are six feet tall and look like they were just in a war are not the kind of people to pick fights with.
Its, like, you say "Hey you want a piece of me?" to this Russian sorcerer. He's says, like, "Yea" *Rip* *tear* *Burn* Then he says, like, "Mmmm, tasty!" while he chews on your mutilated and Kentucky fried carcass.
_-_-_
It was another normal day in Shinji Ikari's very not normal life. He was returning from synch tests to the shared apartment. The synch tests had been a little odd however as Asuka had gone to them into her recent scared and paranoid self and come out like the old Asuka. Happy, energetic and constantly bugging Shinji.
Shinji had caught a bit of conversation from Asuka and Ristko. It was about if the magi could detect an angel, if, say it was posing as a pilot. Ritsko had reconfigured the systems and was now confident that they could and Asuka was glad to learn that Shinji was not an angel as she had suspected. Shinji however was not sure if the return of her normal self was an improvement. He thought 'What I need is some way of showing Asuka my new sorcerous powers but at the same time stopping her from freaking out.'
_-_-_
The Boris Sigmund Arthur Clements Orion Voltimandis previously known as figure was getting into the perfect ambush location. It was right outside the lift on the floor of whatever was producing the potent magical effects he had felt around here.
There is hardly any organization in the magical society of the present world but the society that does exist is mostly groups of nasty mean mages who kill people for money. They are commonly known as assassins. These people object to a few things. They are:
One: People other than them using magic.
Two: People using magic indiscriminately and risking discovery by the rest of the world.
They reason that there is a way of dispelling both problems with one spell as it were. They are assassins, what do you expect?
Anyway, back to the story.
It would have been a lot simpler for many people if Shinji had left NERV just a little bit earlier but alas, the universe has a funny way of being completely unpredictable on the most inconvenient occasions.
Asuka was riding the lift up to "her" apartment and was in a very ecstatic, if aggressive, mood. Boris was hiding around the corner as she stepped out. Time passed a lot slower than normal..
...which is quite odd because time dilation only occurs in large amounts at near the speed of light..
Asuka slowly walked down the corridor and paused to pick up a piece of lint on the carpeted floor. Shinji got to the top of the stairwell. Boris leapt into view. A loud heartbeat sound is heard. Boris begins incanting a chain lightning spell. Another loud heartbeat sound is heard. Shinji yells NOOOOOOoooooooo very slowly and in slow motion dives towards Asuka, he has in his hands a shiny minidisk from his minidisk player. A third and final loud heartbeat sound is heard. Asuka is pushed to the ground by Shinji. A bolt of lightning leaps from Boris's hands, it reflects off the minidisk. Hurdles towards a window and reflects of the glass and towards Boris.
To make a long story short it misses.
The bolt flies past Boris and fries a lightglobe in the roof shorting out the apartment building's power.
_-_-_
A butterfly flaps its wings on the other side of the earth.
_-_-_
The lights go out. Two voices are chanting, Boris and Shinji's.
A green arrow bursts in a flash of light from Shinji's hands and explodes into a cloud of acid in the assassin's face. He cries out in agony and his spell fizzles in his hands. While he is trying to wipe it off, and thus burning his fingers, Shinji decides to make a quick getaway. As he leaves Shinji grabs Asuka who was lying on the ground shaking in some sort of shock and drags her off to the lift.
_-_-_
They were in an alleyway close to the apartment building when Asuka came to her senses. She was lying on the ground in a dirty alleyway and the last thing she remembered was darkness followed by bright light and screaming. Two possible scenarios formed in her mind. Either she was about to be murdered or worse or had just been mugged or.. Shinji had just saved her life using some kind of powers he wasn't supposed to have. She hated being saved or having someone more powerful or intelligent the same age as her so this idea didn't sit too well with her either. Asuka also briefly considered that she was in hell after being killed by Shinji or someone else and her own private hell was an empty alley however this thought made her realize that the alley probably had someone else in it as well.
"You okay Asuka?"
"Of course! I'm fine Dummkopf! What the hell happened in that corridor?"
"I knew this would get out eventually I." He was cut off.
"You ARE and angel in disguise! I knew it! Just wait until I tell Ristuko!"
"Um, Asuka, can I finish?" Asuka uncharacteristically shut up. "You know how you haven't seen Kaji in a while?" She nodded. "Well, that's because he's dead" Shinji should have stopped then except he was to encapsulated by his memories to notice Asuka's worsening mood. "Kaji left me one of his possessions. It is a book of magic, I am now learning how to do magic from his book." Shinji had been excepting a strong reaction to say the least however he was not expecting this.
Asuka's face froze and remained that way for a few seconds. Then she burst into tears and started wailing stuff about why Kaji had given it to Shinji instead of her. She was Kaji's girlfriend anyway.
Shinji stopped listening at this point; he couldn't believe Asuka still believed that.
"Shut up Asuka, that guy who was trying to kill us will hear you!"
Asuka ceases her outcry but keeps sniffling for a while after. They waited in silence and nothing happened.
"So what can you do with this magic of yours?"
"Umm. I learned a few things like illusions, sounds, invisibility, magic arrows made of acid. Have you ever played Dungeons and Dragons? A bit like that."
Asuka slowly pieced together the events of the past week.
"That was you!! You Bastard! Do you know that that ghost voices crap of your frightened me to death and I thought you had some kind of guardian angel"
Asuka, you see, had flown into a rage and completely forgotten about pretending to be the fearless eva pilot who was better than everyone. This display was however more frightening than anything Shinji had ever seen from Asuka. Except perhaps when she tried to pound him into LCL with her eva, now that incident did NOT need to be repeated.
Idiot Shinji, as Asuka put it, had totally left his self preservation mode and was in tell the truth mode.
"Well actually I did, and I thought you deserved it too."
"YOU.. YOU..
.you spoke back at me Shinji. Did NERV find that invertebrates don't pilot as well and give you a spine implant?"
'It's a strange world' though Shinji.
"Of course that must be it! You would never hang your head all the time and do so much damage to your spine if you couldn't get a new one at any time."
First Asuka is Scared to death, then really sad, then curious, then insulting, then on the verge of complementing me and starts insulting me again.
"Are you even LISTENING?"
There she goes again, the pattern resumes. Shinji thought to himself. This is just like a nature program his thoughts wandered 'Shinji Ikari the famed anthropologist is now carefully observing the crazy german girl. His observations have led him to a way of detecting the creatures though patterns. Let's zoom in the camera and get a closer look. Shinji Ikari faces the camera and says "I believe that soon the Asuka beast's demeanor will quickly change from a vicious destructive mood to a sad wh..'
"YOU AREN"T LISTENING ARE YOU!!! I FED UP WITH THIS!! FIRST YOU GO AND PLAY TRICKS ON ME WITH YOUR FANCY MAGIC THEN WHEN YOU FINNALLY TELL ME ABOUT IT YOU WON'T EVEN LISTEN TO WHAT I HAVE TO SAY"
Shinji was vaguely aware of what Asuka was doing 'Enraged, the Asuka beast turns to charge.'
"LISTEN IDIOT"
A resounding WHACK echoes through the alley.
"Well hello my little friends.." a dark figure walks towards them, a streetlight illuminates his face. It is covered in burn marks.
"I was just going to kill you for practicing magic without the Tokyo 3 evil magic users association's permission but after your little acid trick I might just arrange something more painful. You will come with me" His last words resonated somehow in the air. Shinji and Asuka fought to resist the mental domination but they had never encountered it before so they didn't have much chance. Their minds unwillingly to their bodies to move.
_-_-_ The next day.
"Commander! Section two reports that Shinji and Asuka vanished from their apartment during the night and some people reported hearing strange noises from there." Vice commander Fuyutski said fearfully. Gendo looked up from where he had been playing Command and Conquer: Red Star Alert Craft four.
"Wow! At fourteen and with Asuka as well! The first time I had it I was at least sixteen! I never thought he had it in him."
"Not that kind of strange noises Commander. Explosions and the apartment and corridor were trashed and looked like a bomb hit them."
"Oh well then. If you want to find them, whatever. We have all those spare Reis anyway."
"Unit one can only be piloted by Shinji remember"
"Oh yea, that was stupid Yui's fault."
"Resurrecting her is what you devote your life to and you openly insult her?"
"Hey! Fuzo or whatever your first name is! It is her fault for getting stuck in unit one in the first place, I may be trying to rescue her but that doesn't change the facts."
"Yes commander".
Fuzo departed.
Gendo continued playing his game. It was a great game, the two of his favorites, he loved to blow up the technologically backward soviets with his Protoss Carriers. West Blizzard Wood had really outdone themselves this time.
_-_-_
It keeps getting stranger and more insane and stupid!!!
Can I say again that anything I use in this story that I don't make up, I didn't make up and I don't own it. I am merely writing about it, it would have to be good for me to write about it, and thus advertising it. Nothing wrong with that is there?
