Friendship Forged From Survival

Ch.1

Defying GOD'S will

            He was standing. Standing it was light out. It was hot in the cloak but he didn't mind at all. Here he was. Supposed to wait here for some reason. He saw that thing that was walking here but didn't care. He stood. Something inside told him to wait. Not for something but for someone.

            What's this? The figure then picked up the phone and pressed it to his ear. That awful message repeated itself. He hung up and waited. It was getting closer and closer. He would eventually have to do something about it but he stood still. Not moving. Thinking of the possibilities that he could get out of a dangerous situation in this open area. Then it happened. IT happened all right.

            A jet flew past him causing his cloak to fly back. The hood came off and the jet flew past. The figure didn't move. When the large monstrosity smacked the jet back to where it came from the figure didn't move as it approached. HE didn't budge as it hit the ground. Didn't even bat an eye as it rolled closer at an alarming rate. Then it started to slow. Still caring its power it rolled. The person didn't move. Then as it was about to hit the figure it stopped.

Then the jet exploded. Engulfing said person in flames. As the flames died down no cloak was there to hide the boy.

            The boy had two bags on his back. Both rapped in cloth, as it seems untouched by the fire. One strapped on each shoulder. He was wearing a tunic like shirt. A dark purple in color, and he wore a sort of pants that were almost jeans but not entirely. They were green and a bit off. Holding the pants up was a belt with many pockets lining the entire belt ranging in size. The belt looked like it was used for traveling. Then the boy had brown leather gloves and boots. Looked like they were used a lot. And the boy stood looking like nothing had happened. His blue eyes darted to the right as he saw a speeding blue sports car veer toward him. And it got closer and closer. Taking quite a while. Then it was right in front of him and the door swung open. Revealing a woman in a revealing dress. Inviting him in, in some sort of manner into the vehicle. He sat down in the seat. And shut the door. The car drove off.

            "So you must be Shinji?" Misato Katsuragi asked. Looking at the young boy who looked straightforward at the road.

            "Yes, and who may you be?" Shinji said. Looking strait at her. Misato took one good look at him and whistled inside her head.

            Quite dashing in the appearance category. She thought silently but diverted her attention to the road.

            "Misato Katsuragi, it almost was impossible to find you cause the picture is so old. I can't believe they didn't have a picture of you that was recent the only picture is this one." Misato handed the folder to Shinji.

            Shinji looked at the picture. It was a picture of him when he was around 5. That's when it had all began. And now it had recently ended.
            Mustn't think of such things. Must keep on going. Shinji shook his head and handed the folder back to Misato.

            "Ms. Katsuragi may I inquire our destination?" Shinji asked.

            "Um, yeah sure we are heading towards Nerv HQ. Where your father works? O and can you call me Misato? You should loosen up if you act this way your gonna be old before your age." Misato answered quite weirded out at the formality of his language. Kids his age should be more laid back.

            "Ok Misato, though I feel old already." Shinji's mood darkened slightly and said the last part softly.

            "Did you say something?" Misato asked at the boy's murmur.

            "No. Um are those things supposed to be attacking the big monster?"

            "Yes the angel is highly dangerous. They are suppose to hold it back for our ultimate weapon to be activated."

            "Are they supposed to retreat?"

            "What do you mean?" Misato asked as Shinji idly pointed toward the monster and the jets had backed off.

            It took a few moments for the tactical officer's brain to reboot. Though it was supposed to be on the road at the moment.

            "THERE GOING TO USE THE N-2 MINE GET DOWN!" She screamed and dove for the boy and engulfed him in a hug and veered the car off the road. Then the explosion came. But right before the explosion Misato had noticed something.

            Wow seems like he has a body, and what a body. BOOM.

            After the after shock had subsided one voice broke Misato Katsuragi's reverie.

            "Can you please get off of me Misato your squeezing in me in some unpleasant places." Shinji blanched. It seems like his head was lodged in Misato's well you know, melons.

            "Hm, their going to have to redraw the map cause of that one. What did you say?" Misato asked sitting back. Shinji tired of being pushed down sat up and caused Misato's hips to sink back and align with something else. Misato blushed as she felt abs pass under her as she slid down. Shinji well he didn't blush nor have any other reaction other then looking up at her in confusion. Their bodies were in close contact no space between them. I take that back maybe enough space to slip a piece of paper between there stomachs. No guess not. She had slowly settled down on his lap. Then he started to gyrate and worm his hips. Causing a certain someone to react.

            "WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!" Misato screamed as she blushed and was about to slap the young man.

            "Excuse me but if your not going to get off of me I'm just going to have to get out myself." He then bucked his hips a little causing a slight scream from Misato who was blushing furiously.

            "What was that sound?" Shinji inquired then bucked his hips again trying to make space between him and Misato. They were stuck in that small space where the pedals were and the passenger's legroom. Misato was on his hips and seemed like she was ill cause she was red all over. Misato closed her eyes and reared a hand back to slap him.

            "Are you sick or something?" Shinji bucked his hips again and gained a handing and pressed his upper body to hers. He then brushed back some hair from her forehead and pressed his to hers.

            "It doesn't seem like you have a fever. Is something wrong." Shinji asked their foreheads still connecting.

            WHAT AM I THINKING HE IS WHAT ONLY 14 FOR GODS SAKES? YOU CAN'T THINK OF THINGS LIKE THAT! But he does have a nice body. And he is handsome. NO SHUT UP! SHUT UP SHUT UP! YOU CAN'T BE ACTING LIKE A SCHOOL GIRL BECAUSE OF HIM1 GET YOUR ACT TOGETHER! BUT HE IS SO CUTE! NO SHUT UP SHUT UP! Misato squeezed her eyes shut. Then as she regained her wind she made enough space for Shinji to get out. Shinji simply got out and stepped out of the car to brush off any access dirt. Misato just stayed in that awkward position for a while to regain her composure.

            After that incident they were off Shinji nonchalant and Misato awkwardly blushing the whole time. Silence took the car and they were off.

            Moments Later

            "Are you lost?" Shinji asked. The marking on the wall he made with his fingernail was apparent on the wall.

            What now 17 times. Thinking in his head.

            "I hate these doors!" Misato said as the door opened and it blew a wind down under her short dress.

            Shinji didn't bat an eye just for your interest or piece of mind.

            He didn't gawk. Either he is a true gentleman. Or he is gay. WHY AM I THINKING OF THIS! Misato was about to bash her head into the next door when it opened to reveal a certain blonde haired scientist in a swimsuit.

            Several moments later

            "Yes the probability for piloting…"

            And more moments past

            "Do you know anything about him."

            And more moments

            "Um. What did you have for breakfast?"

            And finally

            Shinji after waiting for so long came to a huge door. Don't know why it was they're maybe signaling to something. That's what he thought at the moment. The women in front of him were talking like they had the whole trip but something was off. The doors opened to reveal well um darkness kind of. Nothing could be seen. Misato and Ritsuko just stood as Shinji walked. Yes he was walking into the dark room. He had a knack for stuff like this now. But those thoughts brought back bad memories. Still something familiar was in the scent of the air. He sniffed it a few times.

            Blood all too familiar. No something else, something long and forgotten, something I hated. He turned to the source of the smell. Then the lights went on. No it wasn't the huge purple mecha in front of him that caught his attention. No it wasn't that. It was that tinted windowpane above it. Why would such a thing be tinted here where it was obviously only people with high clearance could even see it? It was practically useless. Then a small smile crept to his face.

            Unless it is used to surprise people. Now I remember. He is my. Just as he was about to finish the thought the tinted windowpane snapped clear. And behind it revealed a very intimidating man. One that seemed to be above the world, someone who had power and knew how to use it, then there was the figure in front of the giant robot. It seemed like the man behind the cleared window could simply step on the figure but something was off.

            "Is it me or is the atmosphere here. Um weird." Misato said feeling weird vibes coming from both people. Well weird auras always surrounded the commander but Shinji was fine up until now.

            "So I see you came." Gendo stated in an ominous voice.

            "Yes I did, God." Shinji kept a strait face.

            "What do you mean?" asked in a monotone voice.

            "Simple, God, a heavenly being. I am a mortal. Something that can be cast aside, somebody that can be manipulated to GOD'S will. There is one thing, GOD, that I have to say. The difference between Adam, the first man, and me is that I have decided. I have taken my choice. I will defy god." Lifting his head up he looked straight back and Gendo. Who didn't flinch at all?

            "I see, but how does this tie into our first meeting in several years?" Asked in a monotone irritation.

            "It doesn't, God, it doesn't at all." Replied back.

            "So, I see you came. We need a pilot to destroy that Angel that is running amuck outside in the geofront." Gendo stated looking to the screen on his right at the mayhem the angel was creating.

            "We don't have any extra pilots, sir. The first child was hurt in the test of unit-00 and the second is still in Germany." Misato stated with confusion written all over her face.

            "You are wrong. We have a pilot. He is right in front of you. The third child, Shinji Ikari." Gendo looked from the captain to the figure that was technically his son.

            "Piloting the Evangelion Unit-01."

            "BUT THAT'S UPSURD THERE IS ALMOST NO PROBABILITY THAT HE WILL BE ABLE TO SYNC WITH UNIT-1. ITS IMMPOSSIBLE!" Shouted an irate Misato.

            "You can pilot the Evangelion or leave." Proposing the options to Shinji. Right after listening to the proposition Shinji about faced and headed for the door.

            "What are you doing?" Misato asked in a serious face.

            "Leaving." Shinji stated and walked passed her.

            "How can you? Don't you know that if that angel keeps on destroying at this rate our world could be destroyed in 5 days? That is if we don't use N-2 mines, which damage us more then it. You aren't going to try and save humanity?" Misato asked anger building.

            "Me, part of humanity. That's absurd. Being a part of something isn't exactly something I wish to do again in my life. I have done it already and I am satisfied. And I will defy GOD'S will." Shinji replied and started to walk out the door before Misato could grab him by his collar.

            "Bring out Rei." Gendo said.

            "SHE IS STILL WOUNDED FROM THE TEST IN UNIT-00. SHE CAN'T PILOT IN HER CONDITION!" Misato screamed confused and angry. Then the cart rolled in. The hospital bed with 4 doctors on each side. A small girl on the bed wrapped in bandages.

            Shinji halted. Still standing in the doorway. He watched as the girl was wheeled to the front of the large robot. He watched as she struggled. And then he felt the ground shake. And knew something was coming.

            That small feeling caused Shinji to get momentum on his side as he started to dash for the girl, then the ceiling buckled and the light fell. With some cement attached to it. And some metal from the testing rooms. And some of that really thick padding.

            The doctors around the girl ran. Seemingly no feelings if the injured girl died. Shinji seemed to appear next to the girl.

            Injured best if to stay stationary and not move. Moving her can reopen any wounds that have healed. And can further injure wounds that haven't healed. How deadly the wounds, unknown so precede with caution. Next best option from moving the one in danger is to eliminate the danger. His mind rattled on about options on what he could do. Finally coming to a conclusion he reached for a pack and unbuckled the pocket and reached into it. He reached slowly timing it just right. Then he felt another small vibration. Source was unknown. Jerking his body the open pocket dropped a fist size orb into the girl's hand. The blue haired girl stopped moving as the unknown object fell in her bandaged arm. It seemed to be able to fit inside the cast.  And so it went down the cast without any of her consent by act of gravity.

            Shinji reached into the pocket and was about to release his plan when that vibration grew and whatever it was he couldn't stop it.

            "UNIT-01 HAS MOVED WITHOUT A PILOT!" Maya screamed throughout the bridge.

            The dust cleared and it revealed a worse for wear first child being held by the ex-third child.

            "It protected them." Misato gaped in awe, while Ritsuko was being driven insane by the impossibilities of such an incident happening.

            "So will you pilot?" Gendo asked with a tiny almost microscopic grin.

            "Of course everything gets more complicated when Eve is thrown into the mix. Isn't that right, GOD." Shinji said setting the girl down for the doctors to examine her.

            "What do I have to do?" Shinji asked Misato.

 So whatcha think. Should I keep on writing or update old stories? O and probably none of you remember be so I'll probably just keep on going with this one. And unlike others this one I got lots of possibilities cause Shinji is mysterious and I plan to keep it that way for a while. O and if you got any comments or anything please review.

            O and if no one review or if no one is reading it well then it's going up either way.
