Chapter Five: Gendo's life in his son.

NERV Central

Gendo the Supreme Commander of NERV sat in front of his large desk as he read the reports on the Children.

"The report on the pilots, Major Katsuragi seems to have been waning on the job."

Two days ago the Pilot Ikari, Shinji was involved in a small brawl near the South District in the city. He was involved on a supposedly gang war between a known high school gang the Gedo gang and the American dominated Westerners.

"Shinji involved on a gang war moreover a fist fight? This is an intriguing matter," he continued reading.

Upon observation the Agents of Section-02 were ordered not to interfere except when the Pilots life are threatened. He was beaten up when he was spotted and he only retaliated after a couple of minutes. He was knocked out by a member of the Westerners with a steel tube, we were about to assess the situation of the Pilot when the members of the Gedo gang attended him.

"My son," he leaned back to be comfortable as he read more of the two page report, "Involved in a brawl?"

We didn't interfered as an individual identified as Gan Isurugi carried of the Pilot. The Gedo gang dispersed as we followed the one carrying the Pilot. He took the 3rd Child to an apartment rented by the name Daigo Kazama, he was carried inside and didn't came out for the rest of the evening. Audio surveillance says that they have discovered the 3rd Child as the Pilot for Unit-01.

"Still they didn't interfere, security might be very loose on the Children."

Video surveillance captured the 3rd Child woke up at exactly 0600 hours. He proceeded to do some chores specifically cooking. After an hour the young man known as Gan Isurugi arrived at the house with a companion known as Eiji Yamada. Audio recording confirmed a slight argument between the 3rd Child and Eiji. They walked outside and converged on a fist fight.

"Shinji in another fist fight?" he adjusted his glasses as he finished the rest of the report.

The 3rd Child won after suffering mild bruises as he was escorted back into the house. After an hour they headed for the residence of Major Katsuragi with the 3rd Child escorted by Gan and the boy he fought earlier. After half an hour they all came out and the 3rd Child headed for Tokyo-03 High School still he was escorted by the aforementioned names.

"Hmm, I think a synch test is appropriate today," he pushes a button beside him, "Ritsuko, schedule a synch test today. I need the pilots here."

He leaned again to finish the rest of the report.

The 3rd Child's arrival at school today was eventful as some student stopped and looked into the Pilot. They were wondering about his recent change of attitude but we only dismissed it as adolescent curiosity. The most unusual part however was the video surveillance inside their classroom. The 3rd Child lied about his tardiness and put the name of NERV on the line, blaming that he had to finish some test at NERV.

"He knows how to lie, and the old man believed him?" he couldn't believe his eyes.

The one that intrigued us is his recent inattention to the 2nd Child and his directed attention to the 1st Child.

Gendo raised an eyebrow as he read the rest of the report.

The 1st Child responded also by looking at him and smiling slightly. We are still tracking the one known as Daigo Kazama since we could not get into Gedo High School without being noticed. The whole place is a land for gang lords. Daigo Kazama was the known brigand that patrolled the South side at night with all the members of the Gedo gang. He was involved with the published Project: Justice. He vanished for almost a year until his sister known as Akira Kazama brought him back. As to now the Children are still at school for their afternoon classes.

As Gendo finished the report Fuyutsuki steps into his office.

"Gendo have you read the report on your son?" he said as he came at his back.

Gendo nods knowing what his old friend was thinking.

"Reminds of you when you were still my student. 16 years ago I think."

Flashback 14 years ago

Fuyutsuki was walking with a tall young woman with a pale skin, a brown mop of hair and brown eyes. They were walking into a lonely street when they heard some bones cracking. Looking at each other Fuyutsuki sighed.

"I think Rokubungi is at it again."

Yui Ikari smiled a bit, "He's always hot headed."

As they followed the source of the sound, they were led to a small alley as they saw five guys lying on the ground and a young looking Gendo without his glasses stood before them bloodied, bruised and heaving.

Yui sighed, "You have got to stop this afternoon brawls Rokubungi."
Gendo flinched as she dabbed her white handkerchief to Gendo's bloodied lips.

"Ow! Be gentle ok!" he flinched again.

Yui smiled at him and he calmed down. Fuyutsuki looked at the unconscious men.

"Hmm, you beaten them pretty good."

Gendo's temper flared, "Look at me! If I beaten them pretty good I wouldn't be like this!"

Yui caressed his cheeks, which caused his frown to relax.

"You really know how to calm me Yui."

She simply smiled as she helped him back to their rented dorm.

Fuyutsuki shook his head as he helped Gendo on the other side.

End of Flashback

Gendo stood up and faced Fuyutsuki.

"I have scheduled a special synch test. I wish to see what changed in the 3rd Child's attitude."

Fuyutsuki grinned, "Why is it necessary? Eager to see if he became like you?"
Gendo turned away and walked off.

The old man shook his head and followed him, "I thought so."

Tokyo-03 High School

The afternoon session was uneventful except for Asuka's fondness to stare into Shinji. She was wondering what happened to him. He disappeared last night. He came in late, and he lied. But he was extremely controlled over his anger. She took a deep breath as she typed into her school laptop.

CHAT ROOM

Asuka: Shinji, hey Shinji! Where have you been?

Shinji: Oh you know, the usual. Here and there then everywhere.

She raised an eyebrow at this.

Asuka: Are you kidding me?

Shinji: No of course not Asuka, why would I kid you?

She frowned, 'He has a cool attitude around him today.'

Asuka: Shinji what happened to you last night?

Shinji: Oh you know… just the night life.

Asuka was about to type her response when suddenly three cell phones rang.

EXIT CHAT ROOM y/n …… Y

The three Pilots nodded knowingly and walked out of the classroom and answered their cell phones. The recording played Misato's cheerful voice.

This is a NERV recorded message: Hi guys! It's me Misato, Hey Commander Ikari scheduled a synch test now. I'll be there in ten minutes. Bye!

"She never stops to try to cheer me up," Shinji said as he hid his cellphone.

"Commander Ikari ordered a synch test?" Asuka scowled, "Not again."
Rei stood up and headed for the door, Shinji followed him but turns back to face Asuka.

"Well Asuka, what are you waiting for?" he said putting his cocky eyes, "Let's go meet our guardian."

Asuka shook her head, "Unbelievable, just unbelievably unreal."

She walked beside Shinji as they left their school building.

Central Dogma

The three Children got dressed in their plugsuit as Shinji came out of the locker rooms he was faced by someone he didn't expect.

"Father?"

"Hello, Shinji."

"What do you want now?" he spat.

"I wish to talk to you about something. I shall meet you after the synch test."
With that done the Commander walked away leaving Shinji to look at him.

"Bastard."

They arrived on the entry plug as the synch test began. Gendo was looking strangely at Shinji for he was in the testing room as the Children commenced the test. As the test ended the Children crawled out of their entryplugs and headed back for debriefing Shinji however was stopped by his father.

"Shinji."
He turned around sharply, "What!?!"

The nearby crew heard the shout and was surprised to hear the Third Child shouting at the Commander. Gendo fixed his glasses and motioned for Shinji to follow.

As they followed Asuka had a questioning look on her.

"Where is that Baka going to now?"

"Do you need an explanation why the Commander wishes to see his son?"

Asuka jumped up realizing Rei was behind her.

"GAH! Don't do that Wondergirl!"
Rei nodded and left her alone, Asuka shrugged it off and headed for the locker rooms.

Meanwhile the two Ikari's were inside Gendo's office as he locked the door and motioned for Shinji to stand in the middle of the room. The Commander faced him as their eyes met Gendo punched Shinji in the face.

"OW! God damns it Father! What was that for?"

Gendo didn't answer as he gave Shinji another punch.

"What the hell…. "
"Fight me Shinji!"

Shinji was shocked as his father attacked him again. He managed to dodge it and sweep his feet. The Commander gets up quickly as he charged for his son.

"Father, tell me why are we doing this?"
He punched him again as he answered, "I wish to test you."
Shinji smiled evilly as he already have permission to hit his father.

"You asked for it."

Shinji punched Gendo at his stomach and face as his father grimaced he managed to throw Shinji away from him. They both recovered as they traded punches.

'God, father is wearing me out.'

'I never expected he has the same agility and endurance as me in his age. Needs power though.'

However Gendo had the upper hand. Experience, battle hardness and years of street fighting honed his skills. With a quick blow to the right eye he sent Shinji flying in front of his desk. Shinji slumped as Gendo approached him, stooped low and ruffled his hair. The son removed his head as Gendo stood up and headed for one of his drawers.

His father faced him again as he handed him a black glass case.

"What's this for?"
"For your eye," the Commander said flatly.

"My eyes?"

"Yes," Gendo said as he sat down his chair, "You need that sometimes to hide your eyes."
Shinji nodded and headed outside. Gendo smiled as he remembered another one part of his past.

Flashback

Gendo sat in front of his computer as Yui Ikari sat beside him also doing her work. He grunted in frustration as he struggled with the keyboards.

"Damn keyboards!"
"What is it now dear?"
"I can't see properly," he replied.

Yui rummaged through her bag and produced a pair of clear glasses.

"Here, you can have these."
He took it and nodded approvingly at Yui.

"That's what you get from your afternoon brawls."
Gendo chuckled as he puts his arm around her waist.

"I don't even know why I married you Yui."
"You want to find out?"
He smiled as Yui stood over him.

End of Flashback

Gendo stood up and headed for the door then proceeded to the Eva hangar. He took one last look at the purple Eva then walked outside.
