English is not my first language, I'm actually still learning it, my teacher recommended keep read and write thing I'm interested in, something about your learn with experience.
this chapter is one chapter that you can skip reading, its kind of boring chapter but it explains the difference of original Eva and Eva I created.
*********************
Shinji walked down the hall way of NERV headquarter, only interested in one thing, the Eva. Shinji's walk wasn't a long one, Shinji stopped in front of Eva, It's giant head was only part that was not under the LCL fluid. Shinji didn't like LCL at all, it reminded him too much of blood, it's color, thickness, even taste and smell, all where similar to blood.
Shinji stared at the Eva, for some reason, it comforted him when ever he was near Unit 01, it felt so familiar and soothing. Shinji sit down in front of Eva's head, same place where metal beam almost crushed him, but Unit 01 moved it's hand in nick of time to save his life.
"you can understand me can't you? I mean, you are alive right? how else where you able to move with out power cable connected to your back?" Shinji asked out loud, not really expecting an answer. Shinji heard the door sliding open, but he didn't pay any attention to them.
Ritsuko walked up to Shinji, putting her hand on his shoulder to get his attention, Shinji barely looked up. "hi." Shinji said simply starring at Eva once more. "hi" Ritsuko handed him a bag. "here's the computer you wanted." Shinji took the bag with out looking at Ritsuko.
"you are the one who helped develop Unit 01 correct?" Shinji asked, "not really, I help with it, but it was my mother who really worked on Eva, I was too young." Shinji stood up, dusting off his pants. "do you know anything about Eva?" Shinji asked staring into Ritsuko eyes.
"some what" Ritsuko said, "would you like for me to tell you exactly what it is?" Shinji asked Ritsuko. "you know the truth of Eva?" Ritsuko asked sounding surprised. "of course, I didn't know at first, but it all makes sense, I don't know the finer details but, I got most of it, I'll know the entire truth, with prove to back it up in few month at most." Shinji walked toward the door Ritsuko came in from. "by the way, don't lie to me, it's easy to lie with mouth but human eye's never lie." Shinji walked down the hall way towards the commend center.
Shinji walked entered the commend center and looked around, spotting just the person he wanted to talk to. "hello Commander." Shinji said, Gendo turned around and looked at Shinji. "first lieutenant Ikari."
"if I may, may I know when the other unit will arrive?" Shinji asked. "I don't know the exact date lieutenant, it would already be at NERV if the stupid old farts would actually listen to sense." Gendo said, walking out side the Command center.
Misato shuddered, 'those two are so formal, they treat each other like they are not related in the command center. talking about other Unit, I wonder what happened to Asuka?' Misato thought getting back to her work, what ever she does when she is not in battle mode.
Shinji drove around the town on his new motorcycle, not having to worry about school for another two days, Shinji was glad they closed school on Saturday and Sunday, School system changed drastically after Second impact.
Shinji came to stop at the city park, setting down on the bench, he booted up his laptop. 'pretty fast, it boots up faster then my old one, it has NERV's OS instead of Windows Operating System. not bad, not bad at all.' Shinji though picking up his blue Memory inserting it to the slot.
"this should have it up and running in few minutes" Shinji said out loud, setting down his computer beside him. breathed out loud. 'If I'm really right about Eva's, then it should have it's own AT field, then how do I use it? Sachiel used it's AT field as some type of blast and if I'm right Eva is copy of Adam with out the soul, so Unit 01 should have stronger AT field then Sachiel'
'wait, it does have stronger AT field, Unit 01 used it's own to neutralize Sachiels so easily, and protected it self from the Sachiel's self explosion. Is that all it can do? neutralize and protect? also, it healed it's arm quickly, does that mean it can regenerate at high speed? so much questions and so few answer.' sound of his new computer beeping snapped him out of his day dream.
Shinji picked his computer back up and opened his newly downloaded file. It was simulation program, he imputed all the data he knew of Unit 01, on the computer screen was 3D image of Unit 01. Shinji typed away on his computer, adding more info. "now, lets find out how fast, Eva can really run." Shinji said, looking at his screen it was Error message.
"unknown? even with all that data it's unknown?" Shinji wondered out loud. "of course, Eva is alive, well, partially, that means it's lot like human, so does that mean, I can raise Eva's speed through training?" Shinji asked out loud, Standing up. "damn it! you are supposed to help me computer, not give me extra head ache!" Shinji screamed pressing off button.
"che, at least I don't have to turn it off like windows OS." Shinji said putting his computer into the bag. "so, speed is at the mercy of how good the Unit 01's muscle is." Shinji started his bike, heading home. "does that mean, it has unlimited potential?" Shinji asked him self, running a red light.
Police siren snapped him back to reality fast. 'god damn it.' Shinji though. 'why the hell are the damn police in this town?' Shinji though. Shinji pulled his bike over to the side. "hello officer" Shinji said. "hello young man, do you know why you where pulled over?" officer asked politely. "no sir, I sure don't" Shinji replied.
"you just ran over the red light, that is very dangerous you know, what if you hit a oncoming car?" Officer asked, Shinji looked down the road "what car? I mean, all the cars are currently out of action from last angel battle" Shinji said. "you never know, any way, let me see your line and registration."
Shinji handed him his NERV ID. "fist lieutenant Shinji Ikari." Shinji said, "I'm sorry sir, I did not know." officer said. handing him his ID "it's all right, I'm in a hurry, can I go now?" Shinji asked. "sure, sorry for the inconvenience." Shinji was glad about one thing, NERV over wrote all the local authorities, normal law really didn't applied to them.
Shinji speed through the road going over hundred miles per hour heading home, slowing down enough to make a turn to his parking spot, parking his bike, Shinji walked into the building, coming to stop in front of elevator, waiting for it to arrive.
Elevator door opened, Shinji walked in and pressed the button for 15th floor. "I wonder what kind of job Misato do, when we are not in fight with angel?" Shinji wondered out loud. Shinji got off the elevator walking down the hall way, heading to his apartment. Shinji used his access card to get into the apartment.
Shinji took his shoes off, heading strait for the couch, he flopped down, closing his eyes, he had too much to think about, too much mystery to solve. 'when I piloted the Eva, I was linked enough to control it's movement fluidly, but what if I link my self completely? would I become the Eva?' Shinji put his arm in front of his eyes. 'I need some sleep' Shinji though, trying to sleep.
Weaken flew by, having nothing to do but few test for Ritsuko, all in all, Shinji had an easy and extremely dangerous job that paid well, during the non battle stage, he got paid just for going to Ritsuko test and getting used to the Eva. "first day of school" Shinji said out loud. "yea, are you nervous?" Misato asked. "Not at all, I don't want to be late, so I'll see you later." Shinji said, walking out the door.
suddenly, he heard a ring tone. "what the?" Shinji though, checking his back pack. "a cell phone?" Shinji said stupidly answering it. "hello?" Shinji answered. "hi Shinji" Misato said sweetly. "I got you a cell phone, I though you might need it, NERV is paying for it so don't worry about the money."
"you mean this is my dog collar?" Shinji asked, "well, I wouldn't call it dog collar but, yea, we need to be able to contact you at all times so...." Misato left it hanging. "fine, I'll carry it around." Shinji said. "thanks, talk to you later." Misato hanged up the phone. "great, now I have a freaking dog collar around my neck."
Shinji parked his bike at the front parking lot at the school, looking around seeing no cars at all. "I guess every one walks." Shinji said out loud. "you can't drive motorcycle to school, It's against the rules." some one said behind him. Shinji turned around to see a girl with freckles. "hi, nice to meet you too." Shinji said, ignoring her earlier comment.
He walked towards the school, "starting tomorrow, you are going to have to walk like every one else." She said. "name's Shinji, what's yours?" Shinji asked. "Hikari, I'm the class rep." Hikari said, pointing at her self with her thumb. "well, I'm first lieutenant of NERV." Shinji said pointing at him self. "in case of emergency, I need some type of fast transportation. so I'm authorized to ride the bike to school." Shinji showed her his ID.
"oh, sorry, I didn't know." Hikari said sheepishly. "Ayanami also works for NERV but she rides the train to NERV." Hikari said. "Ayanami? who's that?" Shinji asked, surprised there is another student who works for NERV. "you don't know her?" Hikari asked. "no, I got transfer over to NERV about week ago." Shinji replied.
"where is she?" he asked, walking toward his class. "she's not here, I heard she was busy and couldn't attend the class." Hikari said. Shinji took out his cell phone and dialed Misato. "hello?" Misato answered. "hey Misato." Shinji said. "hi, what's up?"
"do we have some one name Ayanami working at NERV?" Shinji asked. "Ayanami? yea, she's first child." Misato said. "oh? then am I second child?" Shinji asked, "no, your third child, your legend in our circle." Misato said, "who's second child?"
"she is at Germany right now, she'll join us pretty soon." Misato explained. "oh I see, thanks for the info, talk to you later." Shinji said, "see ya." Misato answered, hanging up the phone.
"oh well" Shinji said walking in through the door. "Class, we have new transfer student today." the teacher said. "please take an empty seat." Teacher stepped aside from the desk picking up his book heading towards the black board.
Shinji walked over to an empty seat, half of the class was empty due to Evacuation, people who could afford to have already moved out. Shinji set down beside the window, looking out side instead of paying attention to class. Shinji took out his laptop and turned it on.
Booting up his Eva simulation program, he could feel the eye of some one staring at him, Shinji looked around, meeting eyes with a boy wearing a glasses. not paying any attention to him, Shinji went back to his typing until he saw a message on school computer.
"are you the pilot of the robot?" Shinji read the message loud. "yes or no?" he asked him self wondering if it was confidential, deciding it was not really that important he typed his replied. half of the class got up screaming "WHAT ARE YOU REALLY!?" they rushed over to his desk, old teacher in front of the class didn't even hear what was happening. with his bad hearing, he could probably sleep through N2 mine war.
rest of the class was spent chatting with the class, some asking about him self, some asking about Eva, others just spent their time sitting down jealous of all the attention Shinji was getting, one other was angry at Shinji.
School bell rang signaling others that school is now over, Shinji was one of the last to get out of the class. "Hey new kid!" some one yelled when he reached the front yard of school, it was guy dressed what could be explained as gym cloth during winter. "yea?" Shinji asked. "hey, I need to talk to you." kid walked over to Shinji, behind him was kid with glasses following closely behind.
As soon as the kid reached Shinji, he threw a punch aimed at Shinji's face, with all the fighting experience, Shinji caught the kids hand inches away from his face. "I don't know why you are attacking me, but you better have good reason, explain." Shinji said coolly.
kid struggled to free his hand, "its because of you that my little sister got hurt!" kid yelled. "you robot smashed the building she was in, her legs where smashed!" Shinji let go of the kids hand. "if it would make you feel better, punch me." Shinji said, putting his hands at his side.
Kid punched Shinji in the face as hard as he could, Shinji staggered little from the force. "you, why didn't you block?" kid asked, "I know how you feel, you aren't angry at me, but you had to let it go, at least it would make you feel better." Shinji said walking away from the kid. "I was being stupid wasn't I?" he asked his friend. "very" was only replied he received.
Shinji walked in to Eva's room, not really knowing what to call each room, he made up his own name for them, place where they usually kept Eva is Eva's place while science department was called Ritsuko's place, he called Command center Misato's place.
Shinji was currently sitting on top of Eva's head, no one knows how he got there, the head was surrounded by LCL, he could of swam across easily sense you could not drown but Shinji was not wet.
Suddenly alarm rang through out NERV, "all personals battle stage 1, all personals battle stage 1." Shinji ran into the locker room changing into his plug suit. Shinji ran back to the Eva's room, sitting down on the Entry chair. crane lifted the chair up and lowered it to waiting Entry pod, pods door closed behind Shinji, then it was insulted into the Eva.
"I still don't know why I have to go through so many step to just get into unit 01, why don't they leave the chair where it is and let me get on it my self instead of using crane every freaking time?" Shinji though out loud, not really caring who listened in.
Ritsuko's face became red, she never though about that, why did they use the crane when the entry pod was only few feet off the ground?
"I'm ready to go" Shinji said through the mike. "launch Eva Unit 01!" Misato commanded. Shinji maneuver his Eva to near weapon storage building, setting up his weapons, he had few minutes to spare before angel arrived.
"did you get the weapon I asked?" Shinji asked. "no, It's only half way complete, right now, its nothing more then sharp chunk of metal." Ritsuko replied. "oh well, may be next time." Shinji said, "I can see the angel floating closer, I'll talk to ya later." Shinji said, willing the Eva into the defensive stance. "lets see what you got."
4th angel charged in waving red laser like whips at Eva. Eva side stepped the attack, to see the whip cutting the building in half neatly. "Ritsuko chan, I'll show you something neat for you to wonder about!" Shinji yelled through the mike, rushing at the angel with his progressive knife.
4th angel recovered enough to send it's other whip to attack, Shinji jumped over the whip, only to get surprised attack on the back by the other, he some how turn his Eva in mid air barely preventing getting impaired.
Shinji rushed in once more, running straight toward the waiting angel. Angel once again attacked with its whip. then something weird happen. "Ritsuko san!" Maya yelled "Sync ratio with unit 01 has jumped to 90%."
"what!" Ritsuko yelled in shock, turning around to stare at the chart. she quickly looked the battle. twin red whip flew towards the rushing Eva, when it was feet away from piercing the target Unit 01 blocked using the AT field, then it crouched down, jumping and stabbing with progressive same time, Eva ended up doing jump uppercut also known as modified version of Ken's Rising Dragon Punch.
Angel landed on the ground with progressive knife embedded into its core disabling the Angel. "you like Rit chan?" Shinji asked through the mike. Ritsuko was shocked, she was also wondering what she was shocked about, fact that Eva used its own AT field to form a shield, or Shinji's Sync ratio raising to 90% almost becoming one with the unit or the fact that she had relatively unhurt angel to exam, only part that has been damaged was the core.
then it registered into her head. 'Rit chan? did he just call me Rit chan? the nerve of that kid!' she though. Shinji walked in to the science department to get bombard with question. "how the hell did you do that!" Ritsuko and Misato yelled. "it was only an jump uppercut, nothing more." Shinji said. "no! I mean, how did you use the AT field?" Ritsuko demanded.
"huh? of that, I just imagined it on my head, and it formed it's shape, I figure if 3rd angel Sachiel could do it, why can't the Eva do it." Shinji said, Ritsuko and Misato understood immediately, after all, they were the one who maintain and help develop the Unit, she knew Eva was replica of Adam, the fist angel.
"how where you able to sync with the Eva like that?" Misato asked, "that is hard question, um, how should I put it, oh yes." Shinji clapped his hands. "do you both know the truth of Eva?" Shinji asked. "that it's a replica of......" Shinji left it hanging. "yes, it's replica of first angel." Misato said.
Shinji stared at Ritsuko. "how does she know?" Shinji said pointing at Misato. "well, I'm a Scientist tank you very much!" Misato said to Shinji. "oh, so that's what you do when you are not on battle station."
"riiight." Misato said, "well, that makes this easy, Eva is basically Angel with out its soul, that's why it need a pilot, so activation is nothing more then Eva linking with our brain, so pilot is basically Eva's brain.
"well, instead of just piloting it, I remember my mother telling me once, instead of just controlling it, be one with it." Shinji said. "it was her last word before that accident." Shinji said, he didn't want to explain to them why he was able to link with Eva to greater degree, who would believe him when he said his mother was Eva? that Yui was actually the soul of unit 01?, that she was the one who saved him when metal beam was falling on him.
It was during this battle that he realized why unit 01 felt so familiar, Unit 01 was his mother, her soul to be precise. now he knew what happened when his mother got in that accident. Eva was soul less corps of Angel, Yui with out even knowing became the missing link, she was absorbed by the Eva to become it's soul, now Eva was complete with out one thing, brain.
that is where Shinji came in, if it was any one else, he knew for fact that Eva would not link with that person's brain, even if they could, it would not be in great degree like he could, first activation was successful because Yui's love for Shinji, her will to protect him.
She wanted to embrace Shinji, but only way she could was when Shinji was inside the Eva. there is no scarier force in the world then mother trying to protect its own offspring from harm.
"any way, lets go eat, I'm starving." Shinji said, dragging Misato and Ritsuko away. ignoring their protest. Gendo was smirking, it seemed Shinji finally realized the truth of Eva, which he discovered little too late. Gendo regretted the fact that he didn't know sooner, because he didn't know, he lost Yui and Kyoko Zeppelin Souryu who was Asuka's mother and Yui's friend.
Kyoko's death was covered up as Suicide, government still wanting to hide the facts about Angel and Eva from public. Gendo walked up to Shinji and others. "may I join you?" he asked, Misato and Ritsuko was staring at Gendo like he grew second head. "sure." Shinji said. "but your paying"
"I wouldn't let you pay any way." four left the NERV and headed for the near by restaurant. "it's been a while since we ate out." Shinji said. "last time was when you came for the visit, before NERV was completed." Gendo said. 'weird, at work Gendo is completely different from normal days.' Misato though.
"relax Misato San, think of it as some teachers, at work they are strict and mean but at street they are nice and no different then others. it's just you don't mix pleasure and work in our field." Gendo explained, guessing why Misato was so uncomfortable.
"ye yes sir." Misato replied, it was her boss right in front of her eating and drinking Sake, no matter what any say, it still made her nervous. (you try to go drinking with your boss, someone you hardly know and see how it feels)
"it seems second child will be arriving in three weeks at most." Gendo said striking conversation. "I wonder how she turned out, I mean, she was left with Kagi as her guardian." Misato said. "presumably much better then how she would of been if you where still her guardian." Ritsuko said.
"ah yes, I remember young Asuka was drunk wondering around the German blanch of NERV headquarter." Gendo said smiling, "I didn't think some one would give five year old a bottle of Sake to drink."
"what about that one time when Asuka got food poisoned from Misato's cooking?" Ritsuko asked, Gendo and Shinji was trying hard not to laugh out loud. "you guys are so cruel" Misato commented whining.
After the dinner, group went their separate ways, Misato and Ritsuko heading back to NERV to diagnose the Angel leaving Shinji with his father. "I envy you." Gendo said out of no where. "how is Yui?"
"heh, you figured it out also?" Shinji asked, "no, I found out, you see, Yui was great woman, great wife, great mother, but greater scientist." Gendo explained. "she knew for fact what was going to happen during that activation test nine years ago."
"what do you mean she knew?" Shinji asked confused. "I received E-mail and Letter from Yui after her accident, it was info about Eva and Angels, she explained that she knew what was going to happen, also, she said she wanted to give you the future, not anyone else, that is why Rei could not link with unit 01."
"what do you mean give me the future?" Shinji asked. "exactly that, you alone will decide the future of human kind, in the end, it will come down to two choice end of the world or"
"or?" Shinji asked. "I don't know, any way Yui left that choice to you." Shinji almost face faulted. 'gee, he doesn't know what might happen? then why are we talking about it?'
"you mean, third impact right?" it wasn't really a question but comment. "right, if angels trigger it, it would mean end of the world, if Seele trigger it, I don't know what might happen. but if you trigger it."
"how can I trigger it?" Shinji asked. "you are the only one that can control Unit 01, this is one secret that no one knows." Gendo whispered into Shinji's ear. "unit 01 is not replica of Adam, it is Adam, it also has it's own S2 engine, just suppressed right now."
this shocked Shinji, Unit 01 is both messenger of god and human created god. "wait, wouldn't it have cause third impact when my Eva came in contact with the other angel?"
"if Adam had it's own soul then yes, but sense your mother's soul is more active then Adam's, Adam can not cause third impact unless it comes in contact with Lilith, the second Angel, supposedly Adam's first wife."
"why don't I just go cause third impact right now and get it over with?" Shinji said. "that is because no one knows what will happen for sure when some one triggers third Impact, besides Yui left a sticky note on my desk telling me never let 3rd impact happen with out killing at least 16 angels." Gendo said. "that is why we are trying to prevent it, not enforce it."
"isn't their total of 17 angel? then why wait until 16 of them is dead?" Shinji asked Gendo. "I think during the fight with 17th angel is when you will make your choice."
"wait, if we aren't going to cause third impact, why did you waste 30 min of my life explaining that to me!" Shinji yelled at Gendo. "just letting you know the truth, it's early but just giving you warning ahead of time, and reason for your mother's death."
"you know, she isn't really dead." Shinji said. "I know, she probably chose worse fate then death for you, if we don't cause third impact and kill all the angels what would happen to her sacrifice?" Gendo said out loud asked him self more then asking Shinji.
*********************************************************************
about Shinji's ability to pilot Eva, if you watched the movie End of Evangelion, you would understand how Asuka was able to fight with the mass produced Eva using the AT field, she finally embraced her mothers love for her, found out she has always been there for her, well, that is how I see it, at least.
well, since I'm righting it, I'll just make it so even if I'm wrong
