Last time, on Fourth Impact:
"Everybody's ignoring me!"
"I promise to remember from now on."
"How sweet."
"Rei, what we told you about interfering with our plans?"
Now that the WAFF's over, I can start doing the slightly less romantic, more humorous part of the background story. Yep, everything up to the chapter after next is purely background history. It is mildly important, but not as important as the story itself.I hope.

Fourth Impact Chapter 4: Plug Test
I can't believe we still have to do these stupid tests." Ikari Asuka Soryu muttered. "It's been almost three years since the last Angel."
"We have to do these because the UN wants to make more Evas, so they need data." Shinji said to his wife of three weeks. "At least, that's what Dr. Akagi says."
"She just wants to see how far she can push us before we snap." Asuka retorted. She glanced around. "Why isn't Rei here?"
"I don't know." Replied Shinji. "She disappeared about two days ago. No one knows where she went or why she left."
Up in the bridge, Ritsuko was looking over the data screens.
"Everything proceeding normally." Reported Maya. "Ego borderline 0.4.0.8.crossed."
"Synch ratios?" asked Misato.
"Let me see." Maya turned back to her screen. Suddenly Makoto yelped. An alarm went off.
"AT field detected!" he exclaimed. "Blood pattern.blue!"
"An Angel!" Misato and Ritsuko dashed over to his console.
"Where is it?" Misato demanded.
"It's in Asuka's plug." He reported. "Eject entry plug." Misato ordered. "Have Asuka moved to the medical ward to test for contamination. Shut down the simulation."
The plug was force ejected and Asuka hauled out. She was still conscious, and made sure everyone knew that. "What the hell is happening?" could be heard even from the bridge.
"Entry plug 02 shut down complete. The AT field has vanished."
Ritsuko walked out of the bridge to check on Asuka.
"Place the plug in cryostasis." Ordered Misato. "I want a full contamination search done on it, now!"
Asuka sat outside the medical ward in a hospital gown. She was cold, she was tired, and she didn't look good in the stupid outfit. Her only consolation was that Shinji was there as well, holding her hand and listening to her spew curses in German. She glanced up as Ritsuko came up to her. "Asuka, I need to talk to you. Shinji as well." The two got up and followed Ritsuko into a darkened room. Misato was already in there.
"Now, I've got good news, bad news, and worse news." Ritsuko said.
"Give us the good news first." Said Misato.
"We've found the Angel, and it won't be going anywhere or doing anything for another few months." Ritsuko told them.
"So we have plenty of time to get it out of her entry plug." Misato muttered to herself. Ritsuko shook her head.
"Listen first." She turned to the children. "The bad news is." she glanced down at her clipboard.
Asuka frowned. "Out with it. Is something wrong with me?"
"You're pregnant."
"I'm what?!"
(AN: remember this?)
"You're-" Ritsuko was cut off as Asuka sprung from her chair and tried to jump on Shinji, her fingers curling like claws around his neck.
"YOU IDIOT!" she screamed. "WHAT THE HELL WERE YOU-"
"Asuka, wait." Ordered Ritsuko. "I need to tell you the other news."
Suddenly an orange light surrounded Asuka, then flung out at Shinji. Everyone gasped in surprise, and the light disappeared. Everyone stayed frozen for a long moment.
"That worse news is that the Angel is located right here." Ritsuko pointed to Asuka's abdomen. The redhead gasped and flung herself into her chair.
"My baby! The Angel's going to get my baby!" she wailed.
Ritsuko placed a hand on the girl's shoulder. "Asuka, the Angel is not going to get your baby." Asuka looked up at her. "The Angel is your baby."
Silence.
"SHINJI YOU IDIOT! YOU GOT ME PREGNANT WITH AN ANGEL!"
AN: what a wonderful spot to end a chapter. So, who saw that coming? In case you were wondering, this last scene was the entire reason I wrote this fic, so you can go now. I mean, there's no point in continuing to read to find out what happens with Asuka's child, the Angel. Or finding out what happens with all those Evas that the UN is building. In fact, you might as well not read the rest of this zesty, action-packed epic novel filled with sophisticated humor and a dash of romance that will keep you begging for more. Absolutely no point in reading on whatsoever.
DreyonLegacy: Sophisticated humor. Snort. Cough. Yeah right. Cough. Snort.
Anyway, you don't have to read the rest. I'm just posting it to get this piece of -expletive- out of my computer without destroying it.
