Chapter One
Two figures could be seen on the cold deserted battlefield one lying the other kneeling over the lying man. Out of the cold blowing wind the voice of the lying figure could be heard. "Is it over, are they gone?" Came the weak voice of the figure dressed in armor that had once been shining and brilliant with jewels and gold. Now however the armor was black with soot and streaked from sweat.
From the kneeling figure came a voice full of wisdom gained through years of life. "Yes, Arthur it is over. They are gone and your family is safe. Now you must rest, my king."
"No. No, Merlin soon I will meet with eternal rest and yet there is so much that must be done," Arthur's words were interrupted by a fit of coughing with blood foaming on his lips. 'I must tell Merlin quickly before I pass.'
"I'm fine Merlin," said Arthur as Merlin tried to push him down to rest. "I haven't much time. Listen now, I want you to record all that has happened here and then seal it along with the Dead Sea Scrolls and Excalibur away from mortals' eyes. Then look in the vortex and find the next light in the sea of black and go to him prepare him..." He said as his voice died away slowly echoing as only the last words of one of great power can. As the echo retreated the eyes of the man known as the greatest king glazed and died.
The man referred to as Merlin rose slowly and sighed. 'Gone, yes Arthur they are gone all sixteen of them. But I fear it will not last. Those beings are to powerful such a fate, at least not know.'
"A time will come though when we will be to kill them and free ourselves from the fear." At this Merlin turned and in a shimmering cloak of white was gone.
With the crash of a great foot and the explosions of destroyed vehicles the Third Angel advanced on Tokyo-3. A boy stood by a payphone looking on at the destruction. When a particularly close one shook the ground, a chunk of roof fell toward him, unknown to the boy an elderly man stood a few meters away and with a flick of the wrist cast the rubble aside making it land a meter or two from the frightened teenager.
After another explosion shook the ground a blue car pulled in front of the teen and a beautiful woman rolled down the window. "Hi, you must be Shinji. Now get in, there isn't must time."
"O..oh, ok"
With that the boy jumped in and they were off. Only a short time later another explosion rocked the car flipping it. Both passengers got out safely.
The purple haired driver was mumbling about the damage to her car while the boy looked the Third Angel in awe.
"Father you want me to pilot that ...that monster," cried Shinji up at his estranged father? Shinji was in a giant room on a catwalk over a yellowish liquid. But the most amazing feature of the room was the massive purple mecha in front of the teen.
"Yes," came back the cold reply of the Commander of Nerv. As he gazed down on his son...'Yui our son will pilot and follow the scenario. Then I will be reunited with you my love.'
"What if I refuse to pilot that thing," said Shinji up to his father. His voice shook with fear and hate toward his father. 'I will not pilot no matter what he says. I must not surrender and obey.'
"Then another will be found," says the Commander. "Doctor please prepare Rei."
"But Commander she is still recovering," replied the blonde scientist.
"She's not dead, so she can pilot," was the cold reply.
"Major remove the boy." At this the purple haired women who had driven the car looked confused and uncertain
Shortly afterward a blue haired girl was brought in on a stretcher. With another blast from above the girl fell and gasped pain.
'I can't let her be hurt because of my wants. No I will have to pilot to keep her from being hurt,' thought the blue eyed boy.
"I'll do it."
The Commander turned his head, he heard his son say it. "What was that?" "I'll do it," said the boy softly again.
In the dark shadow of the cage an ancient looking man stood smiling slightly. "Good Arthur."
"Why am I doing this," said Shinji from the plug of the purple monster? At this point an orange liquid began to fill the tube. "What the..."
"It's LCL." At the choking sounds and quizzical look from the young teen in the plug the Major elaborated. "You can breathe it Shinji."
After hearing this Shinji began to breathe normally. 'It smells like blood. I hate that smell,' thought the young pilot as the pre-launch checks were run through.
The sounds of the Evangelion unit launching could be heard as Unit-01 surfaced for combat.
"It begins anew," said the voice from the shadow.
The Third Angel threw Unit-01 back against the far building after destroying the head with its sonic weapon, "No!" cried the pilot in agony as the unit went silent.
Unit-01 silent Major," said one of the bridge crew sadly. As on the viewer the Third Angel returned to smashing the city.
"Arthur this is not the end. Now, rise!" said the shadowy figure with a wave of his hand.
Unit-01's eyes began to glow faintly with the man's words then brighter and brighter as the unit reactivated. The pilot still unconscious but moving and chanting something that no one could pick up.
"Unit-01 has reactivated!" yelled a member of the bridge crew.
"What how," was the reply of the Major and blonde scientist?
Outside the Angel heard the movement of the reactivated Evangelion and turned to investigate. As it did the Angel was hit square in the chest with a massive blow that knocked it down.
The chant from the pilot continued on and on never stopping never changing as the unit began to destroy its enemy.
End Chapter One of Angelic Past
Notes: Ok, for those of you who have not seen the series or manga then this story will be very confusing. Also if you cannot guess who the Arthur and Merlin formthe beginning are then, I pity you also you will need to wait a few chapters. Lastly the jumping will continue on through the rest of the story so sorry.
