Our story begins in a small village in the land of Eva. A young boy named
Shinji Ikari around fifteen years old is readying himself for a quest to
save a beautiful lady from the clutches of an evil Duke. Shinji is a
knight, but not the kind of knight one would expect. Shinji didn't even
want to become a knight. His mother died when he was very young, and his
father left him in the care of his uncle soon after. Shinji's uncle pushed
Shinji to be a knight saying 'It's what your father would have wanted.'.
The only reason Shinji has stayed afloat for all his years is because of
his life long friend Asuka Langley Soryu. Even at the age of fifteen Asuka
was already strikingly beautiful with her long red hair and deep blue eyes.
She is adored by all men she passes and hated by most women. Only Shinji
seems to resist Asukas charms. One of the many reasons Shinji does not want
to go on this quest is because he already has some one he loves, Asuka. He
has loved her for quite some time, but did not want to say anything because
he didn't think she liked him as more then that the friends they are.
We find Shinji laying on a grassy hill thinking about what perils lay
ahead. "Come on Shinji we have to get going or we're going to get in
trouble!" Asuka shouted from down the hill. "Okay, okay I'm coming." Shinji
replied. "Well you better hurry because if your uncle finds out that you
haven't even left yet you'll be in so much trouble." after she said that
Shinji burst out laughing. "And what are you laughing at Mister Ikari."
Asuka stated loudly. Shinji tried to stifle his laughter as he answered
"It's just that I think it's funny that I'll get in trouble for not going
out to save a woman that suppose to be my future wife thats all." "Is that
right...well we better get going." Asuka said and turned around to walk
down the hill. "Hey wait up!" Shinji called after her.
Shinji and Asuka are walking though the woods when Shinji realizes
something. "Wait a minute I don't even know where I'm suppose to go!"
Shinji shouts aloud. "What do you mean you don't know where your going.
I've been following you though this forest for three hours and you don't
know where to go!" Asuka shouted. "Hey wait a minute I've been following
you for the last three hours not the other way around." Shinji said in
defense. "Ohhh never mind we can go to the wizard on the other side of this
forest." Asuka sighed. "Are you sure that sounds pretty risky." Shinji
said. "Shut up and lets go." Asuka yelled.
"Wow this place is a dump." Shinji said aloud. "Yeah it looks like someone
made it out of stick just the other day." Asuka said in agreement. "Well
come on lets get this over with." Shinji said coldly. Shinji and Asuka
entered the hut and looked around. They saw a small table with crystal ball
sat on top of it. The room itself was covered in cloths and rags of
different sorts. Along the wall there was a large bell with a small sign
under it reading 'ring three times and wait'. Shinji walked over and rang
the bell three times. "Well where is this so called wizard Asuka." Shinji
said with slight annoyance. "I am right here Mister Ikari." A soft voice
came from behind. Shinji spun around quickly and came face to face with a
woman with blonde hair. "What is it that you want from me." The woman
asked. "Well first of all what's your name?" Asuka asked rudely. "My name
is Ritsuko Akagi, now what is it that you want of me?" Ritsuko asked again.
"We want to..." Asuka was cut off by Shinji "We would like to know the
location of a certain lady?" Shinji asked. "What would this woman's name be
if I might ask?" Questioned Ritsuko. "Her name is Misato Katsuragi." Shinji
answered. "You to wish to find her?" Ritsuko asked with a raised eyebrow.
"What do you mean?" Asuka asked. "Shinji here is not the first to seek Lady
Katsuragi many have tried before him and have failed." Ritsuko answered.
"Lady Katsuragi is protected by a very evil man he has no sense of mercy
and will surly kill Shinji." Ritsuko added. "I do not care I am a knight
and death is no concern of mine." Shinji said coldly. "Fine if you still
wish to know where she is. She is in the tallest tower at the castle of
Bardiel." Ritsuko replied. "We thank you for the help that you have given
us, but we must leave now." Shinji said. "Goodbye and goodluck." Ritsuko
replied and turned around as the two left.
Shinji and Asuka continued to walk day and night until they reached the
castle of Bardiel. "Here we are now how do we get in?" Asuka asked. "Though
the front door how else." Shinji answered. "How original of you." Asuka
replied sarcasticly. "You got a better idea?" Shinji asked. "Well we
could....uh... Okay so I don't have a better idea." Asuka yelled. "Thought
so...come on we need to get this over with before I lose what little
bravery I have left." Shinji said distantantly. Shinji and Asuka walked
into the main hall and found it completly empty. "Where is everyone this
place should be packed?" Asuka asked. "There is no one in a house for the
unwanted." Came a cold voice from behind them. "Only cowards hide in the
dark show your face so I can rip it off." Shinji said his voice dripping
with venom. "But only fools rush into a fight." said a man as he walked out
of the dark. He had short dark hair and a beard. "I have come to rescue
lady katsuragi from you." Shinji said coldly. "You will have to defeat me
in battle." The man said in reply. With out futher word Shinji withdrew his
sword from it's sheath and ran tworads the man, and before Shinji's blade
hit it's mark the man withdrew his sword and blocked his blow. "You have to
do better then that if you want to win." The man said flatly. Shinji's mind
filled with pure rage, and started to rain down blows on the man. After
what seemed like eternity the man threw down his sword. "You have fought
well you have lasted longer then any other. I relinquish the fight to you.
Lady Katsuragi is at the tallest tower waiting for you." The man said while
bowing. "I would like to know your name if you don't mind?" Shinji asked.
"My name is Gendo Ikari." Gendo answered. Shinji's sword fell to the ground
"father is it really you?" Shinji asked. "Yes it is I." Gendo answered
shortly. "Father I have waited many years to meet you." Shinji said without
a trace of emotion. "Really and why is that?" Gendo asked with a raised
eyebrow. "For the first few years I wondered why you left me I couldn't
figure it out, and after a while I found out something. I hate you father."
Shinji said coldly. "That is understandable, but you better get going
Misato wait's at the top of the tower for her rescuer." Gendo replied.
Shinji turned around and walked up the stairs followed closely by Asuka.
At the top of the stairs the was a plain door. Shinji walked up to it and
tuned the handle. The door opened and the two walked in. Inside there was a
woman with long lavender hair. "You must be the one to defeat Gendo I am
glad you are here now we can be wed." Misato said gleefuly. "Lady Katsuragi
I must beg your forgiveness but there is another I wish to wed. "You do?"
Asuka and Misato asked. "And who might this woman be?" Misato asked. "It is
you Asuka I have wanted to tell you for so long, but have been to afraid.
"Shinji I want to marry you too." Asuka said while wrapping her arms around
him. Shinji and Asuka's lip's drew slowly closer and then Shinji's world
went black. Shinji sat up quickly to the sound of his alarm clock.
"AHHHHH!!! It was just a dream I don't believe this." Shinji yelled.
"Shinji you idiot what are you yelling about?" Asuka said as she threw open
his door. "It's nothing and why are you in my room?" Shinji asked. "Is that
how you treat your oldest and dearest friend." Asuka asked. Asuka and
Shinji continued to throw insults at each other like old friends, and so
ends our tail about Shinji Ikari.
THE END
THE END
