Chapter Eight: Shinji 'Smoke' Ikari
Gedo High School
It was 2300 hours when Daigo dressed in his school uniform buttoned up to the neck together with Shinji walked inside Gedo High. He was dressed in his striped long sleeves and his school uniform. They walked inside and the whole Gedo Gang welcomed them. Most Neophytes' bowed on Daigo's sight while they merely smiled at Shinji. Now they all smile at Shinji because he's the only one in the ranks of Gan and Edge to actually smile back.
Daigo walked in front and said in loud voice, "Who wishes to challenge Ikari, Shinj tonight?"
He looked around and no one raised their hand. Suddenly two hands shot up among the rest.
"I'll fight him," Edge said as he stood and took off his shirt, "I'm so going to enjoy this tonight."
"Me too," Gan also stood up and cracked his hands, "I will not go easy on you Shinji."
Shinji bowed and unrolled his long sleeves.
"Who will go first?" Gan asked.
"Who else…? I'll go first Gan," Edge declared.
"Why don't you two just come together at the same time," Daigo suggested in the sidelines.
"That's fine with me," Shinji said as he posed with arms crossed in his waist and looking at them from the side of his eyes.
"You can go first Gan," Edge said as he took out his knife belt, "I know he's not warmed up yet."
"Ok!" the gigantic man known as Gan Isurugi stepped in front of Shinji and took his fighting stance, "Let's brawl!"
Gan charged with the force of a Rikishi, Shinji was a bit surprised at his speed. He barely dodged the charge and retaliated with a kick in the back. Gan only flinched a little as Shinji did another kick and punch combinations at his knee first then at his ribs.
Gan recovered and slammed his palm at Shinji. He managed to block it with his arms but he soon found out the after effects of Gan's hit.
'God… his palms are strong… my arms are numb.'
Realizing he can't match Gan's strength he chose to end the match quickly. Gan then willed endorphin in his body and his muscles contracted.
"Gan's ready to unleash his burning vigor.""Let's see if he connects," Daigo said with obvious doubt at Gan.
The large man reared his right palmed and
hit Shinji in the body. But it all happened so fast that even Edge couldn't
believe it. Somehow Shinji managed to dodge Gan's
First Palm Strike and crouched low enough to reach his stomach.
"Aim at the center, and switch," Shinji murmured as he launched a
round of punches in Gan's mid torso.
His endorphin still not waning Shinji jumped back and charged full speed at Gan like a berserk Eva.
A/N: Imagine this, Evangelion first episode. Shinji is the charging Eva while Gan is Sachiel.
He grabbed Gan's head and slammed it into the dirt, his charged carried them both to a length of ten feet before Gan's body ground to a halt and he was unconscious. Edge then stood up and cracked his knuckles and neck.
"Time to fight," he approached Shinji cautiously whose attitude has drastically changed.
'When did Shinji started getting serious? Maybe after Gan unleashed his BV attack.'
He toyed with his knife then threw two sets at Shinji who surprisingly caught them. Edge smiled as he sees competition. He then charged and Shinji threw the knives he had and met Edge.
They collided and both men grabbed their head, "Shit!"
Edge punched with a left as Shinji grabbed Edge's left hand. The 3rd Child then elbowed Edge in the jaw and threw him behind him. They both recovered and met once more in the middle. All the while Zaki cheered for Edge, which obviously distracted him. Shinji then noticed an opening and immediately willed endorphin.
He crouched and jumped almost ten feet towards Edge, he didn't saw it coming and Shinji managed to straddle Edge. Once on top he started pummeling Edge with punches, bashes, and choked him. Battle memories in the Evangelion resurfaced in his mind and although he denies it, buried there deep in Shinji's subconscious he really enjoyed killing the Angels brutally using the Eva's hands.
He punched one Edge one last time and jumped back. He turned around to face Daigo to pronounce the winner. But after he faced the Boss, there was a 'THUD' in his back and he was sliced two times before he felt Edge's punches and kicks. Edge took a breather to recover from his Blade Strike BV. Shinji was bleeding a bit and a bit stunned. Reeking with endorphin again, the body's natural painkiller and strength enhancer he did a back flip high in the air and landed on Edge's body.
The resulting impact knocked Edge out and Shinji pinched the sensitive spot in his shoulder and Edge's eyes went blank. Shinji stood triumphant and strode towards Daigo. Some men carried Edge and Gan into the sidelines and attended to them. Meanwhile Shinji sat in front of Daigo and Akira dressed his wounds. Zaki appeared out of nowhere and attended Edge.
"Shinji gave you quite a work out," Zaki said rubbing Edge's cheek rather very gently, "And now he's in your ranks.""I supposed so," Edge replied while lying down, "Anyway, you're the one that distracted me before that's why he had an opening."
"Well I'm sorry if I cared so much for you, but that's the way I am. Now let me help you mend your wounds," said Zaki as she reached for some bandages and dressed Edge's bruises.
After their wounds are dressed, Daigo stepped in front of him and shook his hand.
"Congratulations Shinji, I have now approved your membership and rank in the Gedo gang."
Shinji lit a cigarette and did the style
that Daigo taught him, "Thank you Boss."
"Well I've got a suited name for an illusionist like you. Shinji 'Smoke' Ikari," said Daigo as he
strode towards Shinji.
"Smoke? For the cigarette? That's his title?" Edge asked in confusion.
"No," Daigo said, "It's just a name suitable for an illusionist. By the way have you noticed anything fishy in the way he fought?"
Edge frowned a bit and said, "Yes, how did he manage to extend his arms? I mean... I could swear he missed… sometimes.""Well… it's a secret then," Shinji chuckled, "You'll have to defeat me so that I can tell you."
"Aww come on," Edge pleaded, "I'm your friend you can tell me."
"That's what I was afraid about,"
Shinji said a slight smile forming in his face, "Though Gan is my friend too, but he's more stupid so… "
"Hey!" Gan piped in, "I'm not
stupid!"
Daigo chuckled as his triumvirate is formed, "Now that your rank is established. Shinji you may mingle with the crowd."
With that said Shinji stood up and headed for a small patch of neophyte women.
"Hello," he approached with no clothes covering his upper body other than the bandage Akira put on him.
The neophyte women were surprised on why one of the best fighters of Daigo Kazama was talking to them.
"Shinji-sama!"
they all said in unison.
"Please," his cockiness and charm kicked in, "Ladies, I'm not
your master yet."
The neophyte's giggled as he left them, "Well catch you all later."
Meanwhile someone was reluctantly to approach him.
"Are you sure?" said one guy.
"Yes," said one familiar face, "That's the guy Izumo was talking about."
"But… that's one of Daigo's best fighters? Because if it is him, you're going to one damn hell hole."
"Ask him!"
"What? Why me…?"
"Your Izumo's friend.
Why should I do it? Anyway approach him!"
Too late however, Shinji recognized the other guy and approached him, "Hey! I know you."
"Shinji-sama,"
Izumo's friend sweats, "I didn't know you were
one of Daigo-sama's best fighters.
"That's all right, after seeing you as a brother. I don't mind you hitting
me again."
'Right I don't want to remember the head butt he gave me,' the guy thought nervously.
"Is that Izumo
planning something bad to do to Asuka?"
"No Shinji-sama, however he's planning to take
you down, and he sent me to get help from Gedo gang
members."
"No, he's a candidate. But he wants no violence of sort."
"A weakling," Shinji snorted in disgust, "Tell you what, I'll let you off the hook. Only and only if you cooperate with me."
Izumo's friend nodded vigorously which we will name Tanaka.
"Tanaka? That's your name right?" the guy nodded, "I want you to keep playing in his game. Let him think that the Gedo gang will help him, also let him think that I'm a nobody."
Tanaka bowed and turned to leave.
"Oh Tanaka!" the guy stopped, "If anyone in our school knew about this, I assure you not only me, and the Gedo gang will hunt you. But consider NERV too in your watch out list."
Tanaka bowed again nervously and hurried away.
"God… I love this place," Shinji said as he mingled with the Neophyte's more.
A couple of girls hurried to him when they had the chance and took some pictures of him.
"Imagine an Eva pilot a member and one of the best fist fighters of the Gedo gang."
"You're so 'NICE' Shinji-sama," one girl called out.
"I sure hope Edge and Gan-sama are more like you," chimed another.
"Now everyone," Shinji scolded, "That's no way to talk to other persons."
The girls around merely smiled, "You are so gentle Shinji-sama."
The 3rd Child smiled and bowed as he left. The girls merely looked at him dreamily and blushed with their own hentai thoughts in their little girly head.
He then joined Edge and Gan who were chatting with the Boss.
"Hey you two, what's up?"
"The Boss here wants us to stake out the Westerners hideout."
"What did they do?" he asked in wonder and rolled up his sleeves, "Are they our enemies."
"Yes and Yes. They are our sworn enemy and two they usually steal stuff. Breaking into people's apartments and doing those sorts of things."
"That's not right? Where is it Daigo-sama?"Daigo indicated something on the map and Edge nodded, Shinji however raised his hands.
"What is it Shinji?"
"I know that place. One of my co-pilots
lives there."
"Really?" Edge asked, "Which one? Is it
the red-haired girl or the blue one?"
"Blue one."
"There lives someone that beautiful at the outskirts alone?"
Out in the distance the sound of Zaki's voice resonated, "EDGE!?!"
Edge cringed at the voice, "I'm sorry ok! Jeez can't I have some fun?"
"You can't have fun with her," Shinji said seriously, "And two she's one of my dearest friends."
"You better announce that, some boys
really like wandering around the city. If by far one Gedo
gang members likes your women you must fight for them."
Daigo nodded, "In ancient times, honor can be
attained by protecting what is rightfully yours."
"That's true, so those things that you own can also be women."
"Edge," Daigo
said to his long time friend and right hand man, "I'm finally rubbing in
on you."
"Just a little bit Boss, just a little bit."
"Excuse me," Shinji interjected,
"So I must defend their honor by defeating some members."
Edge nodded as Shinji shook his head and prepared to fight for the second time
that night. He walked in front and raised his voice enough to be heard.
"Is there anyone here who knows these names, Asuka Langley Soryu and Rei Ayanami?"
About thirty hands went up.
"Ok," he said, 'Do they look like this?" he passed out pictures of them.
Another batch of thirty hands went up.
'Ok, sixteen girls and all boys. God… I'm into a world of hurt.'
Shinji cleared his throat, "Is there anyone here who likes these two women? If anyone does please step in front."
All 44 guys stepped in front, 'I really need the painkillers right now.'
Shinji then declared his decree, "You see these girls are my friend, and I also love them."
There was a long 'aww' among the ranks, mostly from all the sexes. The girls pouted and the guys shook their head in defeat.
"But I am willing to give you the chance to approach them. Oh… and I don't love them to that highest form of love."
Most sighs came from the female population.
"Still I impose that those ones that are willing to get near them. Must first face me and win, if you did win I will personally introduce you to them. If you don't well let's just say you must 'move' on."
About twenty men came forward. In the distance Edge shrugged his shoulders attempting to say "Hey! Don't look at me!"
Shinji looked back, "What? You're the one that suggested this."
Shaking his head, he puts on his fighting weighted gloves and prepared a fighting stance.
"You may all attack when you're ready!" he declared loudly.
Instantly everyone attacked, he didn't hold back and punched all four men with his fist combination. With his stamina he ran around and knocked out ten men immediately by doing a chop on their backs. For 20 intense minutes he fought and retreated.
Daigo just watched and sipped on his tea, while Edge was being glomped by Zaki. Gan is eating again, while Akira just watches.
He came back to Daigo's group wheezing and panting hard. He shook his head and sat down.
"I didn't imagine so many guys like my friends."
"Well, they are rather attractive Shinji," Edge said.
"I know, and they're my friends. Now no one will be touching them."
"We all know that now; well since you're officially a Gedo gang. You need a drink."
"I agree," Daigo interjected, "I also don't promote vices, but on rare occasions I always say why not?"
Shinji took a slug of it and said, "Not bad."
"Welcome to the gang Smoke," everyone greeted as he took another slug and lighted his cigarettes.
The next day
Shinji came up to Misato's apartment, it was a Sunday and it was also the time that Shinji will come home. He dropped by a pancake house to order some breakfast and took it home. He ringed the bell because he forgot to take his keys. There was a loud 'THUD' behind the door as the door's lock was fumbled. The door slid open and there stood one German redheaded girl.
"Shinji?" she asked her eyes widened by surprise and shock, "Is… that… you?"
Shinji stood there, a shirt over his shoulder and a cigarette hanged on his lips. He was carrying his bag on the other end and their food at the other. His body had grown a lot and his posture changed, also he also grew another 8 inches now towering over Asuka.
She was looking at him from over her eyes and frowned, 'Funny? He's smiling… and why does he have a cigarette? And is that… Rammstein!?!'
She overhears the music of her favorite band Rammstein blaring from Shinji's headphones. The rock music penetrated through his ears and it felt like a rock concert. He suddenly dropped the bag.
"Aren't you going to hug me at least?" he asked with a little smile and his arms open.To be Continued
