This story is set after the Doppelganger Fight. -----------------------------------------------------------------------

Blackness stretched out for eternity, like a black hole that no light could escape. In this dark world hovered twelve black monoliths, each with a number and one-word, which aluminates their faces, SEELE. The room and the monoliths matched the hart and soul of those using them, dark, empty and evil.

SEELE 03: The unit failed.

A voice finally filled the darkness. It was old and tired but also angry.

SELLE 08: The system is still defective.

SEELE 07: We were lucky that we could retrieve it at all.

SEELE 04: First it escapees the fourth branch while the system was being tested and then it engages some of our own units.

SEELE 11: If it had defeated one of the units, it would have made things easier for us.

SEELE 02: Yes Ikari has too much power.

SEELE 01: When the promised time comes we will be able to over power Ikari, that is no concern.

SEELE 02: What about the system?

SEELE 01: It is being worked on. It is a pity it did not work properly, but it does not slow down the schedule, it was not meant to be ready yet. We have plenty of time.

SEELE 12: Why, when it could have stuck the final blow, did it retreat?

SEELE 08: We do not know.

SEELE 01: It does not matter for the time been, we must concentrate on the other projects for now. This meeting is over.

In sequence the black monoliths disappeared once again leaving the room to its dark loneliness.

Shinji was tired. Since Asuka had left for some reason he found himself unable to sleep and the journey home from school seamed to be taking even longer, mocking him.

Shinji: Walking sucks.

He groaned to himself but continued walking. Finally he reached the apartment.

Shinji: Tadaima.

He called as he kicked off his shoes and headed for the kitchen for a drink of tea.

Asuka: Well third child, at least you didn't blow the place up while I was gone.

Shinji: Asuka!

Shinji almost jumped out of his skin when he found Asuka stood in front of him, grinning.

Shinji: Asuka.you.you're back, when did you get here?

Asuka walked over to one of the beanbags on the floor and sat down.

Asuka: Today. This morning actually, didn't Misato tell you?

Shinji: She said you'd be home today but I didn't think it would be this early.

Shinji explained as he made himself a drink of tea. Once he was done he went and sat on the sofa. There was a long silence, neither could think of anything to say. Finally Shinji spoke.

Shinji: So.What's the new pilot like?

Asuka: He's boring, heck you're even more entertainment that him!

Shinji blushed not knowing weather to take the comment as a complement or an insult.

Shinji: oh.

Asuka: And that idiot can't even pilot his Eva, he ended up at he bottom of the sea. I had to fish him out with his umbilical cord.

Asuka let out an exasperated grunt and lay down, Shinji just gazed into his tea.

Shinji: Well you ended up in the sea on your first battle too, remember?

Asuka gave him a death glair.

Asuka: If you wish to live longer third child, I suggest you shut up.

A loud audible gulp filled the apartment as Shinji began to sweat.

Shinji: Gomen

Asuka sprung to her feet. Shinji instinctively readied himself for a beating.but none came. He opened his eyes just in time to see Asuka storm off around the corner.

Asuka: WILL YOU STOP SAYING SORRY ALREADY!

After he heard the slam of her bedroom door he sighted and sank into the sofa.

Shinji:...Gomen

Shinji whispered quietly to himself before he finished of his tea and went to his room.

Misato locked the car onto the transport train as they finally pulled up to the entrance of the Geofront. She was a little worried as she looked over to the new pilot; he was changing many interesting colors white, green, and red.

Misato: If you're gonna throw up don't do it in my car.

Martin turned to look at Misato he seamed to be getting his composure back seeing how she wasn't driving any more.

Martin: Well if you didn't drive like that I might not be feeling so sick, no disrespect of course.

He smiled apologetically to her. Misato reached into the side of her door and pulled out a folder, handing it to Martin.

Misato: I'm sure you've already been told about the Geofront but if there's any thing you don't know, it's in that folder.

Martin took the folder and had a quick flick through it, Maps, books and other information about the Geofront and Evangelion.

Martin: By the looks of these maps the Geofront is pretty big.

Misato: Now that's the understatement of the year.

As if on cue they entered the Gefront, it was huge. Building's hung from the ceiling like man made stalactites and at the bottom there were forests and other buildings.

Martin: This is.is.wow!

Misato: Pretty big?

Martin: I take it back.it's bloody HUGE!

Martin continued to gawp out of the car window as they descended.

Misato: This is probably the most protected place on earth. We'll be heading to NERV base, I'll give you a little tour seeing how I've not got much else to do. *Well not really but those reports will take ages, I'll do them later*

-&-

In a dark room, illuminated by the tree of life depicted on the ceiling, Gendo Ikari, most probably the deadliest man on earth sits with sub- commander Fuyutsuki playing a game of chess.

Fuyutsuki: So the thing that attacked unit seven and unit two was not an angel.

Gendo: No. It was most likely a little gift from SEELE.

Fuyutsuki: Yes the old men are anxious about you being in command of so many Evangelions.

Fuyutsuki Laughed to himself as he moved another of the tiny peaces across the bored.

Fuyutsuki: But they too need us to defeat the Angels. So why attack the Eva's?

Gendo: My sources say that it wasn't meant too but the old men also hoped it would.

Fuyutsuki: To make sure you're still controllable?

Gendo: Mmm.Check mate.

Gendo finished with a small smirk, moving his final peace on the board to win the game, Fuyutsuki smiled.

Fuyutsuki: Indeed. I shall take my leave now

Gendo: Very well.

With that Fuyutsuki stud and left leaving Gendo Ikari to his thoughts once again.

Gendo: *They will not be able to perfect the system*

He reached for the phone and dialed a number, after three rings the other end picked up.

Gendo: It's me. You know what to do.Very well.

With out another word he hung up the receiver.

-&-

Misato and Martin stud in the Eva cages, Misato was smiling as the new pilot gawped and awed at the other Eva units.

Misato: These are the Evangelions that your team mates pilot, Eva zero, one and two. You already know the pilot of unit two.

Martin let out a huff as he looked to the unit, the damage from the last battle was almost completely repaired.

Martin: Hell ye, I don't think we're gonna get on very well.

Misato: Don't be silly, besides your going to be working together so we need you to be able to co-operate.

Martin walked up to unit one, scrutinized the hideous mug it wore.

Martin: When will I be able to meet the other pilots?

Misato: You'll see them at school on Monday.

Martin: School!?

He snapped his head to Misato in shock, no one said he'd be going to school here, he was taught at the base back home not in a public school.

Misato: Yes, all the pilots are in the same class by the way for protection.

Martin once again returned his gaze to unit one.

Martin: I thought all Eva unit's would have four eyes, like unit seven and unit two.

Misato: For some reason they all have different appearances, like people I guess. By the way I wanted to ask you some thing about your Eva.

Misato said as she looked at the newest addition to the Eva team.

Martin: What?

Misato: Why blue and red? Did you pick the color scheme?

Martin: Well originally they wanted to do it gold but I thought gold was tacky even when they first chose me to be a child. Bye the looks of things they didn't care what color it was so they asked me what I'd Like.plus the commander and I were good friends.

Martin laughed a bit embarrassed.

Martin: But I didn't know what color I wanted so I said "why not blue and red for the union jack." and I couldn't decide which I liked more, red or blue. *As if I'm gonna tell her I wanted it to match my guitar*

He laughed to himself as Misato just shrugged her shoulders.

Misato: Okay, if you say so.

Misato began to walk off, Martin quickly followed.

Martin: Where are we going now?

Misato: I've still got to show you were the lockers, infirmary and cafeteria is and then after that I'll take you up to the command center.

Martin: ermm sure.

-&-

Some time later on the command deck.

Makoto: So we have another Evangelion?

Shigeru: Ye, means we've got more of a chance against the Angels

Shigeru replied happily. Maya however didn't look too happy.

Makoto: What's wrong Maya? Worried about the workload we'll have with the new unit and pilot?

Maya: No, I feel sorry for the new pilot.

Both men looked at her then shrugged their shoulders in unison. There was a hydraulic hiss as the doors to the command center opened, allowing Misato and Martin entrance.

Misato: And this is where we command every thing.

Martin: Why else would it be called a command center?

He smiled jokingly. Misato scratched the back of her neck embarrassed.

Misato: Your right hehe.

Makoto: Is this the new pilot Misato?

He asked swiveling his seat around to face them.

Misato: Yep, this is Martin.

Martin: Pleased to meet you, sir.

Makoto laughed.

Makoto: Well I'm not used to being called sir haha.

Misato: He's Makoto

She said walking over to him, then Shigeru

Misato: This is Shigeru.and this is Maya.

Misato finished as she stepped up to Maya. All three waved and said hi.

Ritsuko: You forgot to introduce me Misato

Ritsuko appeared through the doors and walked towards her.

Misato: Oh sorry. This is Ritsuko, Ritsuko this is.

Ritsuko: I know the new pilot, Martin Perish.

Martin walked up to Misato and Ritsuko giving a little bow.

Martin: It's nice to meet you.

Misato: Ritsuko will be supervising your sync test and stuff like that.

Martin seamed a bit worried

Martin: *Great, why do I get the feeling she's going to be yelling at me as much as Dr. Murcott?* I see. Misato were am I going to be staying?

Misato: Your apartment is ready and your stuff has already been dropped off. We'll go now if you like?

Martin: Hai.

Both of them then left.

Makoto: Nice kid.

Maya: Ye pity he's going to be put through all this.

Shigeru: I'm sure he'll do fine.

Ritsuko: Come on you three, back to work.

All three quickly swivelled their chairs around and continued with what they were doing.

-&-

Back in Misato's car every.

Misato: Well at least you don't look like your going to throw up.

Martin: Heaven forbid, I might actually get used to your driving.

Misato: You know.you seam a lot different than this morning.

Martin: I do?

Misato: Ye, at first you were all "Yes Sir!" now you seam more laid back.

Martin: really? Now that you mentioned it I am. I think I'm always like that around people I don't know.

He smiled to Misato.

Misato: Well I'm glad you're not as nervous now then. It shouldn't be too long till we get to your place.

Martin: Hai.

A few minutes later, thanks to Misato's driving they were at Martin's new home. Martin got out of the car and picked up his rucksack he had with him.

Martin: What floor is it?

Misato: The fifth floor, room 56 there aren't many other people in this apartment block are you sure you'll be okay?

Misato asked as they walked up the stairs.

Martin: I'm sure I'll be fine and it's not permanent you said, remember?

Misato: Yes, but we still need to find a suitable guardian for you.

Martin: Major

Misato: Call me Misato, were not in work

Martin: ermm okay Misato, I'll be okay. Please don't worry.

Misato: It's my job to worry haha. Okay I'll stop worrying.

They finally reached room 56. Retrieving the key from her pocket, Misato opened the door. It let out an ear piercing squeaked as the unmoved, rusty hinges were disturbed.

Martin: I think I need to put some oil on that

He cringed taking his hands away from his ears.

Misato: Ye but apart from that every thing seams okay.

She stated as she poked her head into the room before walking in, Martin followed her placing his bag near by.

Martin: You were right all my stuff is here.

Misato: Great! I've got to go, you will be able to settle in by your self, wont you?

Martin nodded his head as he started to open the boxes.

Martin: Like I said before "trust me"

Misato headed towards the door leaving the keys on a nearby table.

Misato: well if you need any thing you've got my number and I only live in the apartment complex down the street. Bye.

And with that she left, the door squeaking closed behind her.

Martin: Argh! Please tell me there's some oil some where in this place!

And so he began his search for the allusive oil.

-&-

Misato: Tadaima!

Misato called as she walked into her apartment.

Misato: Shinji? Asuka? You home?

Asuka and Shinji both came out of their rooms.

Asuka and Shinji: Yes Misato?

Apparently the sync training hadn't worn off yet.

Misato: Oh there you two are. I just wanted to say sorry for not being here to cook you dinner but I had to show the new pilot around. So you guys can order out, ok?

Asuka and Shinji both let out a sigh of relief thank god they didn't have to suffer Misato's cooking. They didn't know what's worse her food or her driving, either one was a death sentence.

Misato: Oh, Asuka your friend called why'll you were gone, Hikari I think her name was. She brought your school printouts.

Asuka: WHAT! I'm forced to pick up that dumpkof sixth child and when I get back I have homework! That's not fair!

Misato: Life never is but you still have to do your homework. Shinji, are you gonna order the take out?

Shinji: Sure.

Shinji went to the phone and dialed for a take away while Asuka sat down on the sofa, arms crossed and fuming. Shinji looked over at her and smiled, Almost glad to see her back, even if she was loud and a pain.

Extra Omake (dedicated to the Makoto screw up lol) Makoto has fallen asleep at his conceal. Slowly but surly we can see his dreams.

Makoto is sat on a train the sun setting in the background is bathing the coach in a strange red. Sat across from Makoto is sat another person, the only other person on the train but his face is in shadow.

Hyuga: Hello Makoto

Makoto: Who.Who are you?

The man in the shadows slowly leans forward bring his face into view

Hyuga: I am the Makoto inside your head

Makoto: What the hell?

Hyuga: Call me Hyuga; it'll make things easier

Makoto: Okay but what do you want?

Hyuga shrugs his shoulders

Hyuga: I don't know but the question is why are you talking to your self?

Makoto: Your talking to me!

Hyuga: No I'm not

Makoto: YES YOU ARE!

Hyuga: No I'm not now wake up!

Makoto is finally shaken from his sleep by Shigeru.

Shigeru: It's about time! Why the heck were you talking to your self in your sleep? In any case hurry up before the command catches you sl.

Gendo: Mr.Hyuga report to me at once

Makoto: Oh hell *thanks me inside my head*

Rei pops up out of the corner

Rei: Hai

Rei disappears and Makoto slumps of the Commanders office mentally scolding himself for falling asleep.or is he scolding the him inside himself? Who knows? Who cares? ======== Not a great Omake but at least you got some of Rei in there

Kaji in Kajis head: Your gonna die

Kaji: I know

Well atch ya later guys.
