6. Didn't even care

"Is that really you Shoko? They made you pilot Eva?" Yoji said as screens of the two pilots popped up in the entry plugs, "I agreed, it was my choice, so you're the renegade I've been training to defeat huh? I could still kill you, you left without even batting an eyelid, you didn't even care about who you hurt!!!" she replied, "Do you really want to know why I left like that?" Yoji asked as he hung his head in disgrace, "I left because I was told that I could get revenge for the death of our parents, but when I found out that they weren't my parents and that they just used me for their project I decided to fight to protect people that still matter like you, but now your a part of it and its my fault, if I hadn't left then you would be safe!" Yoji continued as he started to cry.

"Yoji... I'm so sorry." Shoko replied as she also started to cry, Mike woke up with about a minute to spare they all had to get the coast to get picked up, "Hey we gotta get outta here NOW!!!" Mike shouted as he got to his feet, "OK, are you coming?" Yoji said as he wept the tears away, Shoko nodded as she did the same, "Hey Mike, take that white Eva with you." Yoji said, "What the?" Mike replied with shock, "Just trust me; I'll take the blue one." Yoji picked up the blue Eva from earlier and sped off, the three Eva's charged at high speed through the water, "Shit! Thirty seconds!" Mike said as he glanced at the clock monitor, the Eva's closed in on the area where the aircraft were hovering, Mike and Yoji's Eva's both collapsed beneath the shadow of the transports.

Cables hooked on to all five of the Eva's and air lifted them to the Ark, Shougo stood in the control room as the Messianic fell to pieces around him, "Finally my project is completed and the government has already started to produce the units, mankind will be no more, god is made up from every soul on earth, so when all life on earth is gone, god will exist and no humans will be there to cause destruction or hurt each other, so that was NERV's true goal, Its true then, gods in his heaven, alls right with the world, but only until we are reborn, I'll make sure its for good, and now comes my peace." The charges set by the troops detonated ripping him and the base apart.

Later...

"What did you mean by, the people you thought were your parents Yoji?" Shoko asked as they watched there Eva's get put into the holding pens, "Mom and Dad weren't our parents, we were cloned from the first child, Shinji Ikari, to be the ultimate pilots, I loved them so much, I wanted revenge for them, but they never loved us!!!" Yoji slammed his fist against the wall and began to cry, Shoko eye's started to well, "Oh my god, is this really true?", Yoji only nodded as tears fell to the floor, "I hate humans, there so selfish, I loved Mom and Dad so much but they betrayed me before I was even born, and for their own selfish agenda's!" Yoji said as he raised his head, "And now you're involved in this horror, and it's my fault god dammit!" Yoji started to punch the wall repeatedly, he stopped his right fist still held on the wall, "How can you say you hate people when you are one?" Shoko asked, "Were not human, and were something less, just a tool to save mankind! I can't live with out trust! Yet who can I trust when people are so selfish, I always lived for others, that's why I piloted Eva, to save people!" Yoji continued.

"I trust you, Yoji." Shoko said as she wiped at her tears, "How can you trust me, I left you, I got you into this, and now I've betrayed your trust." Yoji shouted, Shoko replied, "Because you're my brother Yoji, I love you, you never meant to hurt me, you always took care of me, and I'm sorry Yoji." Shoko looked down in shame, Yoji started to run away, Mike looked on from another building, he was lent on a wall with his arms folded, "He's right, we are not human, because humans are so selfish, but that's why we are special and should be proud of ourselves, because we cant even understand how people are selfish.", Shou was stood next to him, "Yes that is right, you should be proud but because of our nature we can live with this existence, if we don't survive genesis then our pain will be gone along with us, but we would rather live with that pain than not exist at all, selfishness is a matter of survival." Shou said as he walked away.

Emiko had already begun examining, the blue and white Eva's, the entry plugs to both Eva's unscrewed outwards, a team of scientists rush to the people inside, "The blue one's empty, but we got a pilot in the other, male!" one man shouted as Emiko watched them carry his body out, "Is he alive?" she shouted, "Yes, we need a medic team right now!".

Later in a med centre, the boy was wired up to different machines, he had grey to green hair, and he still wore his blue entry suit, he slowly opened his eye's to reveal that they were red, Emiko gasped as she watched from the side of his bed, "Who are you?" she asked, "Kaworu Nagisa." he answered, "What!? The 17th angel of genesis?!" she said as she stepped back, he nodded, "So genesis has begun, and I am one of the children, Shinji." he said as he sat up, "So you were the angel that let the human race live, I thank you." Emiko said as she bowed her head, "I thank the human race for destroying me, I did not have the same feelings that humans did, so it did not matter if I died." he replied, "Are you able to walk?" Emiko said, Kaworu got to his feet and they both left the room, "So what do you intend to do, now that you're alive?" she asked, "I'm here as a pilot so that's what I will be, do you need pilots?"

"Yes, we have already seen a fallen angel and appearances from sirens.", "Fallen angels, angels who have been tainted by human feelings, they hate humans because they hold within them the soul of god, I was destroyed, that means that I'm a fallen angel, only the feelings that I got from humans were love, I will fight for you."

They walked into Shou, "Hey Emiko, how does Eva unit-05 manage to work without an umbilical cable or internal batteries?" he asked not even caring about the new pilot, "The Eva series had S2 engine that supply unlimited power, by transferring matter into energy, Eva unit-04 used one but it overloaded causing the whole base to be converted into energy, we managed to create one and built it into unit-02, guess we have to make more." she explained as she smirked, she was proud of the amount of knowledge she had, "Not for unit-14, it has already absorbed one, it did it when it killed Adam, unit-01 did the same before genesis." Shou replied, "Well that doesn't surprise me, unit-14 is a clone of unit-01."

Shou walked off, never saying a word about Kaworu, "He hasn't been right since Kazuo betrayed him and then was killed, never even speaking unless it's essential, oh well, I guess that's just one of the ways people deal with pain." Emiko said as she closed her eyes and sighed, "Humans don't deal with pain anymore, they run away from it but it's always there." Kaworu replied, "Ok all powerful angel boy we gotta give you a personality!"

The two of them walked off with Emiko frowning, in another corridor, Shou found Yoji gazing out of a window at the rising sun, "I thought you wouldn't come back." Shou said as he also looked out of the dirty pain of glass, "I can't leave now, Shoko is the only person I care about, and Mike is my only real friend.", "Why don't you try making friends with the new guy." Shou asked again, "You mean Kaworu? He is an angel isn't he? Not human, maybe we can relate." Yoji replied, "You still hate humans then? Now matter how much you hate the things that we do you were raised as a human, you still housed those emotions, I hate the things we do but I'm still human."

"Maybe, there's something I have to tell you, while I was piloting I saw a woman who called herself Misato, she told me where the other Eva pilots are and where their Eva's are, I think we should find them." Yoji said as he turned his gaze to the floor, "Well then, I guess we should find them." Shou said, Yoji looked up surprised to hear Shou agree with him, "Yoji, Your experience's are for a reason, they will have an important meaning, write up a list of the name's and locations of both the Eva's and the pilots.", Shou finished talking and walked off straight away, Yoji looked back down at the ground realising that he was only listened to because of what he was, he punched the wall as hard as he could, a few seconds past before he spoke, "Ow.".

The orange fading light of the setting sun shone on the top half of his flight suit, he dropped his fist to his side and stood their for a second the sun warming his back, and then he walked away silent the whole time, not once showing emotion even when punching the wall.

Later after Yoji had handed the list in, "Hey Emiko, your wanted on a objective, your gonna be going to find the second child in the ruins of old Tokyo-3, and then to Osaka to find the first child, looks like this one's gonna be none stop." a soldier walked toward Emiko giving her the news, "I bet there trying to find the original children for the two Eva's we don't have pilots for, fine tell Shou that Eva unit-00, 15 and the grey unit-16 have been fitted with my prototype for the S2 engines, oh and one more thing unit-14 has been fitted with the same wings as unit-05 so have Yoji and Kaworu on standby if there's a sudden angel or siren attack." She winked at the soldier as he nodded his head and walked off, she flirted with most of the men on the base but it wasn't serious, she had been single for quite a few years now.

Mike saw Shoko sat on a bed in a room set out for her, she didn't look to happy, neither of them were in their flight suits, they were both in casual clothes, and with both of them being clones it seemed more human to Mike, he knocked on the open door before walking in, "Guess your upset that your brother is blaming his self, right?" Mike asked, "Yeah, I don't even know if he's my brother." She said quietly, "Of course he is." Mike replied with haste, "You two are twins, right? So that means that you had to both come from the same person, he's your blood, but that shouldn't matter."

"I know but it's more the fact that we were betrayed by the people we loved most." She hanged her head, "C'mon, I am a clone too, at the moment you need to talk to Yoji, he needs to feel that he has friends, we need to stick together.", Mike rested his hand on her shoulder, there was a connection between them but neither could really tell yet, "Ok, Can I ask something? Will the people here want me to use Eva for them?" Mike nodded and walked off.

Emiko was walking towards Shou's office to consult him on the new mission plan when the com piece on her ear beeped sounding an incoming call, she pressed a button on the side of it answering, "New info in miss." an assistant said, "Go ahead.", "Because of units 5,6,8,9,10,11,12 and 13 being destroyed, unit-07 will be reclassified as unit-05, unit-14 as unit- 06 and unit-15 as unit-07 by orders of the commander.", "Okay." she replied before she pressed the button on her ear piece again, she entered Shou's office without knocking, Shou sat in his chair not really caring, she practically ran the place anyway, he always did as she advised, and he wasn't much of a leader anyway.

"So I'm on a new mission to find the original children from genesis?" Shou nodded, "Do we really need more pilots?" She asked, "They wont be piloting, Yoji told me that they are needed to prevent genesis, and if humans use genesis it will only start the cycle again, more pain and then death, based on the origin of Yoji I'm gonna go with what he said, that sounded like a good idea?" Shou said, "Yes of course, it's nice that I'm not taking care of you for once!" Emiko replied, "Ha-ha! Your right, this place would fall to pieces without you.", they both laughed, Shou had gotten over having his old friends killed without saying a word, that was his way of dealing with things, "The fourth child believes himself to be a fallen angel, but I don't think he is, the body that was an angel was destroyed, but the body he uses now is one from a dummy plug and they were human." Emiko said to Shou with a puzzled face, "Technically he's the fifth child, what does that mean?" Shou asked looking a bit gormless at all the big words she was using, "It means that he is human and in time will developed a personality based on his surroundings." She looked at Shou who still didn't get it, "GRRRR! IT MEANS TRY TO GIVE HIM A GOOD ROLE MODEL IDIOT! If he turns out anything like you were all in trouble."
