Story: Evangelion, The Children of Humanity: Guardian Angel
Chapter 3: Changes
Disclaimer: I do not in anyway own Evangelion and its characters. All I own are my own characters and the plot. So in layman's terms...Please don't sue me! I have nothing!
A/N: Here's chapter three.
The group arrived at Nerv in little time. 'Impossible', the pilots thought 'someone who drives more recklessly than Misato, the pedestrians of Tokyo- Three are doomed.' They wobbled to the entrance while George went the other way. Only when they reached the elevator did they notice he was no longer present.
"Where did George-san go?" Shinji asked, looking at Ayanimi, hoping she was more observant than Asuka or himself.
"I do not know, I was too preoccupied with the dizziness and an overwhelming sense of abdominal pain." She said in a monotone voice.
"Asuka?" Shinji turned.
"Nope, same here..." she managed to get out before she leaned over the side of the elevator and unloaded her lunch from earlier.
"It does not matter," Rei stated "we are probably suppose to see the commander alone anyways." Shinji agreed, then turned to see how Asuka was. She was still leaning over the side, though she had stop barfing. He patted her on the back and earned a smack on the back of the head for "taking advantage of her when she was sick" as Asuka had put it.
They reached the end of the ride at last and navigated their way through the complex hallways of Nerv to Commander Ikari's office. This was a place avoided by most of the staff unless absolutely necessary. They came in front of the doors with the nameplate: 'Supreme Commander Ikari'. Rei, having done this many times before, pushed the green button on the control pad next to the door. A moment later, after the security camera looked over them, the commander's cold voice answered. "Enter." They went in, feeling a cold chill when they passed the doors to the office. Which slammed shut by themselves the moment all three of them were inside. Shinji was close to wetting his pants and Asuka was looking at the desk with the overstuffed chair, positioned with the back facing them with interest.
Rei looked emotionless from her appearance, but inside, she was thinking 'Dramatic bastard, probably wasted ten minutes setting up just for the sake of intimidation."
They approached the desk, with Asuka practically dragging Shinji with her. Gendo did not turn his chair around until they were at the edge of the desk. Even when he did he did it slowly, and when he was fully turned he placed his hands in his trademarked "Gendo style" position. Rei repeated her thoughts to herself. Gendo looked over them from behind his tinted glasses, and did not speak for a while. When Asuka and Shinji were starting to get really uncomfortable he finally spoke.
"You have met the new pilot, George?" he said in a voice that was so lacking of emotion to the point that only Rei or a computer could have come close to it.
"Yes, for the first time yesterday. When he saved us from an attack from a gang near my residence. And again just now at school." answered Rei. For a time now their relationship had begun to grown distant, while Rei's relationship with the other pilots had grown closer. This fact pissed Gendo off greatly but he thought, 'It should not affect the scenario, as long as she still obey orders.' And did nothing about it.
"Ah yes," he said continuing "I read the report. So you have noticed that George is...unusual, yes?" he got no response from any of them.
"Very well," he said "I will brief you on the situation. I would have Dr. Akagi do it but she is busy with ah...pressing matters."
He paused, "As I was saying George is the pilot of the Evangelion unit from America which arrived two days ago. No doubt you are wondering how it is possible, with him being born four years before second impact. When he was young, about six years of age. He was observed by a member of the Marduk organization while visiting America for potential pilots as a very unique child. Further testing confirmed that George had heightened brain activity. Meaning he had a sort of...edge, spotting patterns, more focus, mind over matter, that kind of stuff. At the age of nine, after three years of physical and mental training, we decided to test his abilities with an Eva. We brought him to Japan's Nerv testing facilities, as we were the only ones with Evas ready for testing. Despite Naoko Akagi's insistence that it would not work, that he was born four years too early we went through with the test. Before we even got him in the plug it was evident he could synch with the Eva. It had activated by itself and had opened its hatch without any orders to do so. We put him in the plug and started a basic synch test program. We all felt our jaws drop at the readings."
He smiled, which surprised the three greatly. But they were too caught up in the story to say anything. "The Magi told us that he was synching at one- hundred percent. We though that it was impossible, we tore the computer drives out and checked the equipment a dozen times and retested even more then that. The data remained unchanged, George was perfectly in synch with the Eva. It was then that we designated him the Fourth Child as Rei had already been named the First and was undergoing training, the Second was to be the daughter of our head scientist in the German branch, Professor Kyoko Zeppline Sohyru." Asuka stiffened at the mention of her mother. "The Third would have to be my son and pilot of Unit-01." Shinji wondered for a moment whether to ask why and decided that he wouldn't get an answer anyway.
Gendo continued, "Therefore, George became the Forth Child. Then he was sent back to America to continue his training. We also decided to build another Evangelion for him as there are only three in development at the time. You do not need the specifics, only that it was finished a year ago. One year of testing then it was rushed here. Along with three experimental Mass Production units from our branch in China."
(A/N: Not the MPs sent by SEELE!)
"Why three more?" asked Asuka, "There are no more pilots."
"Oh but there are," Gendo said with a rather evil looking smirk "I believe you know them, Ms. Horaki, Mr. Aida, and Mr. Suzuhara were chosen as the Fifth, Sixth, and Seventh Child respectively."
"WHAT!" the three pilots were in total shock, George's story, their friends dragged into the hell that was Eva, it was too much.
"Oh, one more thing." Gendo said, this time, his grin could've sent the devil himself crawling back to his hell. "All pilots are to be moved into a residence provided by Nerv under George's charge effective immediately. Your belongings have already been moved from Colonel Katsuragi's place."
"Colonel?" Shinji asked "You mean Major?" Gendo stared at his son "I think I know my own staff's ranks." He stated coldly "Katsuragi was promoted two days ago. The reason being that George had been given the rank of Major so he could more effectively protect his new charges. I think we are done here. You're all dismissed. George will pick you and the new pilots up and take you to your new residence."
"You bastard! How could you decide all this without even asking us!" Asuka shrieked.
Gendo looked very angry, even Rei was concerned. "I need not ask for your opinions when I make changes! It is with your safety in mind that these arrangements were made. And you will follow them Second, or you will find yourself stripped of your pilot status!"
Asuka was lost for words, Rei and Shinji did not want to enrage her anymore and said nothing. It was then that someone knocked and then George poked his head into the office.
"Sorry Commander Ikari, are you finished with them?" he asked.
Gendo glared at Asuka before telling George "Yes, get them out off my sight."
George put a hand on Shinji's shoulder and motioned with his head towards the door. Shinji nodded and along with Rei, went for the door. George looked at Asuka who hadn't moved an inch. He came up next to her and asked "Are you coming Pilot Sohyru?" she looked at his face and clamed down a little, after all, George couldn't be that bad. Maybe it would be okay.
"Yeah...and please, stop calling me so formally. My name is Asuka."
"Sorry Asuka, let's go." With a last exchange of venomous glares with the commander, she turned on her heel and stormed out the office. George followed without a backwards look at the commander and went after his new charges.
As the door shuts, a figure enters the office from another doorway. This man came up behind Gendo and stood for a moment.
Then he spoke, "Well, that story was load of bullshit. Even more so than Rei's story. Is all this really necessary Ikari?"
Gendo sat in his "Gendo Position" for a minute without a response, then he answered, "Yes Fuyuzuki, the Dead Sea Scrolls have foretold that with the passing of the eleventh the guardian will arrive. He's role is still unclear but it is his influence on the children that will matter. And I doubt that anyone will accept that we found him already like this two years ago. His Evangelion was a failed Unit, without a human soul, it was headed for the graveyard. Only an Angel can harness the raw power of a soulless Evangelion."
"The Guardian Angel, is he one of the seventeen?" Fuyuzuki asked.
"No, he is different from those, it is said that he is the Angel that watches over children. He will protect them, again, this will have an yet uncertain effect on the final outcome." Gendo said. The sub-commander said nothing.
The pilots were in a van supplied by Nerv, they had just picked up the new pilots Toji, Kensuke, and Asuka. Turns out they had been approached after school by some Nerv officials, Kensuke had signed up before the guy was even finished explaining. Toji agreed in the end and he assured Hikari that they would be in it together along with Shinji and the other two pilots. They had been in Doctor Akagi's lab receiving a full body examination. The Children were talking excitedly and were sharing a feeling of exhaustion from being barraged by information and surprises. George had entered an area a little outside of the city and finally pulled into a driveway.
"Welcome to our new home." He announced from the front.
Except for George and Ayanimi, they all jumped out of their seats to see their new home. It was beautiful, there was a ten foot gate surrounding the entire premises, that premises was the size of two football fields, it had a large yard in the front with the house in the center of the property, behind it the back yard consisted of a tennis court and a swimming pool with beach chairs. They went inside to find the house even better on the inside. It had twelve rooms and two stories. On the first were the living room, dinning room, family room, and kitchen. On the upper level were seven rooms for each of the pilots, and an extra room that was empty. Connected to the main house was a garage and another smaller house. In that one was a fully equipped gym and an armory.
They were still looking over their new home with awe when George insisted that they go to bed as they all had tests scheduled for tomorrow. With that they each went to their own rooms, which had their names on it so they didn't fight over them. Their luggage were already inside as the commander had said but they were all too tired to unpack and each fell on their beds and were asleep in moments. George checked on all of them and returned to his own room. He powered up his terminal and contacted Nerv to report to the commander that all was well. Then he checked over the house's security systems and turned to bed himself, thinking about the fact that he had the responsibility of looking after the six children that were humanity's last hope. 'I cannot allow them to be the sacrifices for this absurd plan, they have already been scarred by the beginnings of the plan. If it continues, their minds will eventually be shattered.' He thought.
A/N: Sigh, I know people are gonna stab me but I don't care. My friend insisted that I get the full story on the net and tell flamers to stick it up their %#%^$#^s. I'm taking his advice.
