Chapter 2
Kouzou Fuyutski was a nervous man right now; well, more nervous than usual at least. He turned around and gave his former student and now superior a tired glance
"Gendo, tell me again why Misato isn't out looking for the third child?"
"Kouzou, Kouzou. The third child will find us much faster than it will take for us to find him."
"But Gendo! You surely do not expect a fourteen-year-old to find us on his own! I mean this is a pretty secured area!" The man known as Kouzou glanced at Gendo's hand where the word 'betrayal' was etched on. "And when were you ever interested in tattoos?"
At this, Gendo quickly puts his gloves back on. The only thing the commander could say to his second-in-command was this:
"Professor?"
"Yes?"
"Shove it."
"Unidentified life form detected!" Dr. Ritsuko said
"It is destroying everything in its way!" Dr. Ritsuko's assistant, Maya Ibuki shouted.
"Activate building defense!" Sure enough, some buildings quickly receded into the ground.
"Activating N2- mine?!" Shigeru, another assistant, reported in obvious shock.
All Ritsuko could manage was a feeble "huh?" before a big explosion was heard.
"Amateurs," Ritsuko heard someone say from behind her. She spun around facing the person. What she saw was not what she had expected. What she saw was a young man who looked around fifteen with black hair and pale skin. He was dressed in a plain white t-shirt and in black jeans. What surprised her were his eyes, they were... red?!
Must be related to Rei... wait. Rei never mentioned relatives before...
So? It is not as if she has to tell every-blinking –thing to you even she needs privacy.
I still don't like him.
No one asked for your opinion... besides, it seems as if you don't like anyone that even faintly resembles Rei...
Oh shove it...
"And who do you think you are?" Ritsuko snarled at the person who was ever-so-calmly sipping on a cup of coffee. If Ritsuko had examined the just a little better, she would have noticed that the cup that was previously next to her was now gone.
"I believe that the commander had already predicted my arrival. My name is Shinji Ikari." There were several gasps at this, but Shinji chose to ignore them. He stared at the screen which was still full of static. "That won't kill them. Demons do not die easy."
"Demons?" Major Misato Katsuragi asked as she entered the room. "Who gave you the right to name them?"
"It is only reasonable for one to know the names of the evil that has been plaguing one's kind for generations..."
"Dude, chill, this is the first ever sighting of this so called 'Demons'"
"I'm afraid not"
As if on cue, the static on the screen cleared, showing that the great monstrosity was still alive.
"One thing's for sure, the thing is definitely not human" Misato stated.
Everybody sweat dropped.
"Take him to the storage room" Gendo's voice said from the command room.
"So, this is an EVA?" Shinji said as he looked up at the purple behemoth. "It is pretty big."
"Ready EVA Unit-01 for launch!" Ritsuko told the workers.
"Why? Isn't Rei still too hurt to pilot?" Misato asked.
"So this is why you called me here isn't it you raving lunatic?" Shinji asked his father.
Gendo was surprised at how quickly he caught on.
"Why else would I call you here?"
"You- you-"
"It is either you pilot the thing or you leave."
"YOU REALLY THINK THAT I WILL BEND TO YOUR WILL?!"
We'll have to see about that. Gendo thought.
He picked up a phone and dialed.
"Rei?"
"Yes?"
"The spare is unusable, you will go"
"Yes"
Down below, Ritsuko couldn't help but feel disappointed.
"Ready preparations for Rei!" Misato commanded.
The door to Shinji's right opened and the nurses wheeled in a blue-hair, red-eyed girl in a stretcher. Wait, red eyes? No, it can't be. Angel?
Rei nearly had the same reaction but was able to her face void of any emotion.
Suddenly, there was a rumble and Rei tipped over and fell off the stretcher with a yelp of pain. Shinji quickly ran to her side. At the same time, the light fixtures fell and were headed straight for the two.
"Get out of the way!" Misato shouted at the two.
Shinji didn't even flinch when the light fixtures hit a hexagonal barrier of light and bounced off, causing no damage whatsoever.
"How?" Misato stated, "The EVA isn't on, so how can it project an AT-field?"
"It didn't," Shinji said. "I did that"
Then, Shinji then stood up from his crouching position and practically screamed at his father. "FINE! I'LL PILOT YOUR DAMNED MACHINE!"
Gendo smirked.
