Author's Note: This seemed like an interesting way to tie things up (Cos in the Tekken games, each character has an epilogue film, just imagine these as the ones for the characters mentioned). If you don't like it, then disregard it and allow your own imagination to make up your own epilogues for them
Epilogue
Open Letter read by UN Head: Alison Morris of Australia to the assembled nations:
Fellow Delegates,
It was brought to the attention as you are most likely aware three weeks ago, a group of individuals aided by a private mercenary army, stormed and raided Nerv Headquarters in Japan.
At first it was believed that this was a terrorist action by extremists, however, after investigation we discovered that it was in fact, a private rescue operation mounted by financial king pin Kazuya Mishima to save his wife, who had been kidnapped by Nerv for reasons unknown but assuredly un-allowed by our charters.
No Nerv personnel were killed during the raid, some were injured the Mishima Zaibatsu has given monetary reparations to all parties involved. Due to the secret nature of some of the goings on in both Nerv and Mishima Zaibatsu, it cannot be revealed to you here today. However, current Nerv Commander, Kouzou Fuyutski, has assured me that the details will fall under the 25 year rule. After said time, all information will be presented to this forum.
That is all the investigators are willing to comment on at this time.
Investigation Head, Tony Ferrow, London
*******************************
What follows are records recovered 200 years after the Angel Wars:
These records give the (summarised) details of major players in the history of Nerv, and something called 'The Nerv Incident'
******************************Begin Records****************************
*************Hwoarang Doo San & Maya Ibuki****************
Hwoarang Doo San; remained in Japan for the rest of his life. In the UN led inquiry to the activities of Nerv, Mr. Doo San was exonerated for his actions in breaking in and assaulting Nerv officers. His native government also thanked him for his, to quote an ex commanding officer 'diamond of foresight' in removing all his Korean badges and tags from his military uniform.
After attending a State funeral for Jun Kazama and Kazuya Mishima: who died in the exposing of Nerv, one as a directly murdered person of its ex commander, Gendo Rokobungi (1). He joined New Nerv not long after his stage in the investigation and became their Chief of Internal Security (Section 2) and was praised by the Japanese and UN for his stout protection of Evangelion pilots and the general public alike. This action caused some uproar in the Korean Government but was soon suppressed by the majority. He was treated to a heroes welcome when he and his family returned in the year 2020 for his father, Baek Doo San's funeral. That same year; he married colleague Maya Ibuki. She died of heart conditions when she was 87. Hwoarang died the following year at 88 from natural causes: he and his wife are survived by 3 children and 5 grandchildren.
(1) : Family members of deceased wife Yui Ikari request that their name be removed from all official documents regarding the Nerv Incident. This was approved unanimously and Gendo Rokobungi was shipped to the artic wastelands where he is buried, as ignobly as he murdered Jun Kazama and dozens of others. Reparations were made to all family members of said others.
************Paul Phoenix & Ritsuko Akagi************
With the wave of public demand for the learning of Martial Arts (2), the Dojo run now solely by Mr. Phoenix has seen booming business and was able to leave the Dojo in the hands of his more capable students and retire the teaching career at age 59. His long standing relationship with Nerv Scientific Commander, Dr. Ritsuko Akagi was a fruitful one. The pair enjoyed relaxing final years in thanks not only to the Dojo and Nerv, but to Mishima Zaibatsu who paid the Phoenix family a large sum of money (3).
Ritsuko Akagi went on to make many new scientific discoveries: not the least of which was one which solved medical problems world over: the use of Eva tissue to grow replacement body parts, although more solid luck is had with organs; replacement arms and legs are now available also. Another noteworthy discovery was the use of Eva regenerative cells to repair damage to the brain and spine.
Paul Phoenix suffered heavily from Arthritis as he approached his 70's, dying of a brain tumour that developed from taking a serious blow to the head while stopping a home invasion when he was 65. The tumour struck Paul Phoenix, a mighty fighter and survivor of the infamous 'Tekken Tournaments' of pre-second impact Japan in his 72nd year.
Ritsuko Akagi died later, at age 81 of lung cancer due to her smoking habit: she and Paul are survived by 2 children, 4 grandchildren and a recently born great granddaughter.
(2) : This developed once the story, which is now considered a modern legend, that it was Martial Arts alone which allowed most of the 6 to fight their way through Nerv, and as Paul Phoenix was one of said fighters it stood to reason his Dojo would get more business.
(3) : Current Head of Mishima Zaibatsu, Jin Kazama, was present with Paul Phoenix at the raid on Nerv, and as such was given financial assistance for his role in the event.
***************Jin Kazama & Ling Xiayou*******************
As the new head of Mishima Zaibatsu, Jin Kazama used the vast wealth of his company to finance humanitarian projects all over the world. Due to the necessity of business, Mishima still took on high profile (and highly lucrative) Military Weapon Projects. That aside, Mishima Zaibatsu publicly revealed itself as a financer of New Nerv.
Jin Kazama then opened up a series of clinics which taught disadvantaged kids Karate, and technical skills. This single act went onto bring the youth homeless and suicide rate down a staggering 23% in five years. Jin Kazama became the first non-academic to receive the Nobel Peace Prize for his contributions to society.
His wife, Ling Xiayou, followed a dream and opened her first Theme Park, and when delivering a press conference about how she thought it would work, her only words were 'Disney, your time is up', thanks to the shrewd business mind she developed, her words came true. Ling Xiayou had to retire from the professional Martial Arts competition due to an injury sustained in the Nerv Incident, although she is still regarded as a master of Hakka Ken style Kung Fu and is often invited to sit on a judging panel for competitions.
The pair had 5 children in their long life and both died in their sleep at age 100.
*****************Jun Kazama & Kazuya Mishima***************
The murder of Jun Kazama caused outrage in the international community, as she was a well known animal rights and environmental protection agent. The Japanese Government buried Jun Kazama near the Buddhist Shrines in Nara, and was given full honours and declared a national hero for her last act of courage: saving Evangelion pilot, Rei Ayanami from murder.
The truth regarding the disappearance of Kazuya Mishima was declared a government secret of Japan, but after the Japanese ambassador held a closed session with the Head of the UN and Secretary General of Global Security; both members took a leave of absence for undisclosed reasons. Like his wife, Kazuya (or some remains that were supposed to his) was buried near the Buddhist Shrines in Nara and given honours for his role in exposing the human rights violations of the Gendo commanded Nerv.
*********************Marshall Law*******************
Mr. Law had a relatively small role in the beginning, only showing up when the Nerv attack was planned by Mishima and their army, known as the Tekken Force. Aside from a medal of honour and bravery, Marshall Law returned to managing his chain of restaurants. He died at age 80 from liver failure from a brief but extreme bout of alcoholism a few years previous.
He was survived by son Forrest Law, and grandson Tao Law
***********Shinji Ikari Mishima & Rei Ayanami************
Shinji Mishima returned to his new family in Kyoto after the Angel wars were won. Although he spent many years in post traumatic stress syndrome (PTSS) therapy from his experience at the pilot seat; his later life was quiet and peaceful. At age 29, he married fellow pilot Rei Ayanami and the two resided in Kyoto, for a time. Rei joined the military; and by the time she was 37, was Commander and Chief of the Japanese Armed Forces. Shinji was hired as her personal bodyguard and soon became her Security Advisor.
Shinji himself was still regarded a formidable fighter and occasionally entered a tournament, and he always one. Some organisations claimed drug use but they never found a single performance enhancer in his blood stream. As he grew older, Shinji Mishima was said to develop an odd affinity for the wind, and storms, especially lightning: often seen training in fierce lightning storms, some say he had the got of Thunder and Lightning in his veins
Upon retirement from active duty, the couple and their 4 children all retired to the countryside area of Japan (4). Both lived to a record old age of 112, and both went quietly in their sleep. They left to survive them: 4 children, 6 grandchildren and 2 great grandchildren.
(4) : In the area in which the pair retired, the crime rate suddenly dropped dramatically, particularly murders, sex crimes and gang warfare. Superstitious locals say that a devil roams the area, prowling for criminals to stop so as to atone for his sins. Scientists laughed at it, aside from one Ritsuko Akagi. The 'Devil' transcended urban legend and became mythical. The Devil of Nigata he was dubbed.
*************************Asuka Langley Soryu*********************
Asuka Langley Soryu continued to serve Nerv as the pilot for Evangelion Unit 02, although she had a penchant for theatrics in combat, she was the best trained pilot; that is however, no substitute for experience. Her mental state, like those of her fellows was usually questionable at the best of times, and sometimes it would reach a point where a normal human being would be locked up. However fate decided that Asuka should receive a chance at life.
Her return to Germany as a hero served not to boost her ego, but to somehow fill her with a sense of purpose and patriotism. She became the German High Chancellor as an adult and served for an astonishing 4 consecutive terms. After that she retired to ambassadorial duties to the NATO and the United Nations. Despite early childhood impressions to the contrary, she was a skilled diplomat, but, the 'Red Devil' temper stayed with her till death in 2070 when she was assassinated by a radical. Her son, Drago Soryu survived her.
