Notes: This is my first Eva fanfiction. I'm taking off after the original ep. 26, it's easier than the movies however, I do like the movies so some of that will be incorporated in here. I will keep posting regardless but I will do so faster if I get some reviews (good or bad) shinsetsu shimasu ^ ^


Neon Genesis Evangelion

Part 1: Her child said 'your useless' and she said 'shut up'

Shinji Ikari; pilot of Eva Unit 01. Asuka Langley Sohryu; comatose patient of room 303 and undetermined pilot of Eva Unit 02. Two souls; different in appearance but as one in the heart. Rei Ayanami; The key to the third impact and pilot of nothing. Toji Suzuhara; 4th child crippled in action. Kaworu Nigesa; 5th child and 17th angel. When the moons split into the black and white two entities were born. From Adam came the angels and the basis of all Eva. From Lilith came humans.

'A familiar hallway, but everything in this place is the same' a young boy notes as his feet lift again and again 'Room 303. I think this is the place' Shinji's fingers twitched slightly before he attained the courage to twist the handle.

***

A black room. Only windows and a desk furnish it, sitting down are two men in deep conversation.

"You know, Ikari, the 2nd child is still comatose"

"3 weeks is a long time. How has the search gone?"

"Unsuccessful however do you really believe this true? Adam and Lilith are different"

"The scrolls state 17 trials by disciples and apostles of god, easily classified as angels"

"There have been 17"

"From Adam came the angels, from Lilith came humans Fuyutsuki"

***

Twelve holograms as sound only converse. There is no light invading, no light would want to.

"We still require the lance. Kowaru is gone" one said

"There are other ways" twelve stated

"Like what?" three questioned

"We all know what Ikari hypothesizes" twelve answered

"This committee is based on fact, not the idea of an insane commander" three shot back

"Beside the point, Ikari's leash has slipped and he is running to fast" six pointed out

"That is right, we need a new dog, one who will do the tricks we order" seven agreed

"The tricks we ask are to complicated and dangerous, no dog will do it" one disagreed

"Perhaps there are ways to get Ikari to obey us" nine wondered

"Doubtful but you give a dog a chance before he is put down" one ordered as all the holograms dispersed

***

"Asuka?" a slow male voice called out

He knew there would be no answer but he had learned to have hope, it didn't help him. The thin schoolboy walked over to the comatose redhead and looked at her. She faced away, as though she was disappointed in him like she always was. He called her name, to no avail. He lifted her head, to no avail, giving up he sat in a chair and stared at her. He had a thought, and he acted on it. He grabbed the patient by the shoulders and attempted to shake here from her sleep.

"C'mon Asuka, wake up. C'mon Asuka" Shinji desperately urged

Nothing.

"This isn't funny anymore Asuka. Please Asuka. J-just wake up..." the tears flowed from his needy eyes "Help me. Help me please. No. J-just say something, anything. C-call me an idiot. I just..."

The boy urged frantically before pulling the girl so that he could see her face, and incidentally, her breasts...

***

"I said 'speak louder' you idiot. How am I supposed to hear you if you talk so low?" A redhead in a matching plug suit yelled out

"He cannot hear you" a small girl with matching hair informed the baffled pilot

"Who the hell are you?"

"I am you, when you died"

"What? I didn't die"

"Really?" the small girl snapped her fingers to place some memories in Asuka's head.

Asuka: Mommy, mommy, I've been chosen as an elite pilot! Everyone's so nice to me now so I don't feel alone anymore!

Asuka: I'm supposed to keep this a secret so I'll only tell you momma! Momma, momma?

"And only a few days later"

Asuka's grandma: I understand how you feel but it's alright if you have to cry Asuka

Asuka: I'll never cry grandma, I'll live on my own

"No, stop it! Don't make me remember those things" a screaming Asuka grabbed her head and dropped to her knees

"How pathetic! You don't even recognize yourself"

"Momma?"

"You don't deserve to awaken"

"Huh?"

"You still do not understand. You are not awake"

"I'm asleep?"

"You will sleep while you have the will to sleep"

"I want to wake up!"

"But why?"

"I want to be alive"

"Nobody likes you though. You'd be all alone"

"..."

Asuka hesitated a moment and in that same moment Eva Unit 02 gripped her in it's hand as though her thin body were nothing more than a ball out of air.

"Aaahhh!" Asuka screamed as her body was squeezed to a size smaller

Through the pain she looked up to see herself as a child in the entry plug "The Eva is controlled by your will. This is proof that you wish to sleep"

"N-no! That's not true. I want to be alive!"

"But you are alive"

"I-I want to be with my friends"

"Friends? You have no friends"

"That's not true...Misato is..."

"Misato is your guardian and you are her job"

"I must have friends. I'm the most popular girl in school!"

"Amongst the boys. How many girls are your friends?"

"Hikari..."

"Is only leeching off your popularity for her own"

"N-no. She let me stay at her house"

"And did you see her smile or try to talk to you?"

"..." no words came out and Asuka's head was held in shame 'Is it really true? Doesn't anyone care about me?'

"Finally you realize that"

"!"

"We are one, your thoughts are also my own"

"..."

"Do you see?"

"Wait. Shinji came to visit me, he's my..."

"You do not know what Shinji is doing to you. You cannot feel your own body at this time"

"No! Shinji is a pervert but he's to shy and respects me enough not to do it!"

"You know he has jerk off fantasies about you. He's not stupid enough to put two and two as five. The only you are good to anyone for is sex"

"N-no. I-I can pilot Eva"

"Really? How did your last battle go?"

"..."

"Exactly"

"...But when I could pilot I beat every Angel!"

"Did you? There were problems with the 6th"

"It was that damn Shinji's fault that I had so much trouble!"

"Really? When it was just you, you were swallowed waist up and you couldn't use the Eva is water without him. You didn't kill it!"

"You also split the 7th in half and needed Shinji to help you"

"No, Shinji couldn't have done it by himself"

"No? The angel started with one core and, like the starfish dilemma, Shinji would have disposed of it properly"

"..."

"Do you see?"

"I defeated the magma angel by myself!"

"With Shinji's progressive knife, Shinji's ploy, and you escaped because of Shinji"

"Do you now see? You are the most useless of the selected children. You had the most time for training and you cannot beat a doll and someone with no training. You have never mad a valid contribution with you Eva"

"..."

Unit 02 squeezed Asuka harder but she didn't even notice with her self pity 'It's true. I am useless...'

"That rights. It is far better to stay asleep forever where there is no pain, no fear, no sadness"

"Asuka! Asuka! Please wake up. Please..."

"Shinji?!" The redhead immediately looked into the great white void, struggling to break free, realizing a revelation

"Why do you wish to escape? There is peace here"

"But there is no happiness!"

"If you wake up there will be no happiness! Who could give it to you? Shinji?"

"Maybe not Shinji, but I'll have a chance at it!"

"...Not while you live under your mothers eyes"

"Mamma?"

"You were abandoned. And if you wake up you will be alone"

"I grew up to fast. I don't need people"

"Liar. You are here now because you need people!"

"I-I-I'll have Shinji!"

"He will abandon you. Like everyone else"

"NO! HE WON'T" the words screamed from her lungs as she pushed the Eva's fingers away, but not enough.

"...Please just talk to me. Do anything, call me an idiot like you always do. Please...anything..."

"Don't be fooled, he will continually outdo you with his piloting skills and bring you down with them. He does not care"

"Your wrong...He saved me many times...He does care! You are wrong you stupid bitch!"

As the last words escaped from her throat the Eva's grip broke and Asuka was free. But she fell. And fell. Like a dream of her death. But your dreams won't let you die. And Asuka wouldn't here.
