Author's notes: Sorry for the delay, some stuff came up. And thanks for the reviews! They keep me wanting to finish this!
Chapter 2
The car stopped at the bottom and Shinji and Misato get out of the car and helps Kite get out in the back. Kite gets out of the car and walks with Shinji to support him as they head out of the garage to the moving walkway into Terminal Dogma. Kite looks around, taking in the sights of the Terminal Dogma. "This place is so futuristic...... What have I gotten myself into?"
Misato looks at her map of the Terminal Dogma a little confused, "Damn, why did they make this place so big?! Ugh, I'm so lost."
Shinji speaks out to Misato "Um, Miss Misato, do you know where we're going?
"Ah....of coarse! I know this place like the back of my hand!" Misato smiles but thought "I thought the cages were this way..."
Kite chuckles a bit at Misato's dilemma, "She so lost." Shinji just looks at misato with doubt. "I agree."
Misato gave Kite and Shinji the stare. "Oh be quiet you two! Ugh, I'm calling Ristu and Hilda." She pulls out her phone and starts punching in numbers. "Yes, I like to put in page for Dr. Akagi and Dr. Jahn please. Thanks, tell them to meet me in Section A main elevator."
Meanwhile, Dr. Akagi was checking out Eva Unit 1 when the annousement came though. Sighing, Risuko came up out of the water. "Damn it, is she lost again?!"
A woman came walking in from the door and into the Cages, "We really shouldn't be surprised, its Misato remember?"
Ristuko laughed at the joke, and looked up to the woman with long blond hair in a lab coat wearing a black skirt, red shirt, and black sunglasses. "You're right as always, Hilda."
Hilda put a smirk and laughed. "Hmm-hmm-hmm-hmm! Come on, let's go meet her, we can brittle her about it when we meet her.
Ritsuko put on her lab coat and headed off to the elevator with Hilda "Right. She should have memorized the map by now. She gets lost so often."
"Now now, we both know Misato isn't quite fast at memorization of things, remember in collage? She would have all nighters when studying for tests.
"Too true, but she's works here! I would expect her to get to the cages.
Hilda and Ritsuko arrive at the elevator and watch the numbers count down to their floor.
Meanwhile Kite, Shinji and Misato stood in the elevator just standing then until Misato broke the silence. "Kai, why are you dressed like that?
Kite looks confused at Misato's question. "What do you mean Miss Misato?"
"I mean your clothing, it looks like some costume. Were you at a party or something?
Kite just sweatdroped and laughs softly, "Yeah, I was at a party...." "Sort of."
Misato shook her head, "It's an odd costume, all red, weird belt, odd markings on your pants, that weird mesh on your socks, your odd hat, odd shoes, it looks like you came for some renaissance fair.
Kite put on a small smile and scratches the back of his head, "Yeah I got the best costume award.
"Also, what's in your bag?
"My bag?" Kite looks to the back and sees the bag that's held all his items in the game, "I forgot about that, I wonder if all my items are in there as well."
Misato was just about to repeat the question when the doors open and Ritsuko and Hilda were there waiting. Misato looks a little abstuck as she sweats a little. "Ah...Ritsuko...Hilda.
Hilda sighs and looks at Misato, "Captain Katsuragi, I would have expected for you not to get lost every single time.
"Oh come on! I was in a hurry, besides, they made this place too much of a maze.
Ritsuko steps in, "We don't have time for this, you're late Captain. Ristsuko then notices Shinji and Kite leaning against the wall. "Who are these two?
Misato looks shaky as Ristuko looks at Kite and Shinji, she looks to Shinji. "Well this is Shinji Ikari, according to the Marduk report, he's the Third Child
Shinji walks forward and looks to Ritsuko, "Uh....Hello."
Ritsuko nods her head and then looks to Kite, "And who's this?"
"Oh, his name is Kai, he was caught up with the battle and he needs to see some medical."
Ritsuko shakes her head, "Why wasn't he in the shelters with the other civilians?
"That's what I want to know. He hasn't given me an answer yet." Misato replied.
Kite came out of the elevator and right into Hilda's sight, "Kite." She then shouts out, "Kai!"
Kite looks to Hilda and looks at her hard, "She looks so familiar..."
Misato looks at Hilda astonished, "You know him?!"
Hilda nods and runs over to Kite, "Yes, he is my nephew! What happened to him!?
Misato sweats a little, "Um......well... he was in the middle of the road and I was racing to get here and.....
Kite looks confused, "Nephew? Huh? Wha?"
Hilda finished her with calm, all knowing voice, and "Nearly killed my nephew? Misato, I have constantly told you of your rough driving skills, I even had experienced it myself when I had to get a ride with you."
Misato looked irritated, "Look can we stop talking about my driving?! There are bigger things to worry about!
Ritsuko then decided to interrupt, "Misato is right, Hilda, since you know Kai, you can take him to the hospital, that head wound looks serous. Me and Misato will take Shinji to the Eva.
"Right. Come on Kai." Hilda takes Kite's arm and takes him down a few hallways and then walks onto a moving walkway
Kite stood there as the walkway took them towards the hospital, while on the way Kite looks up to Hilda really confused, "Excuse me.....
Hilda cuts him off and softly speaks. "Not now, there are cameras everywhere..."
Kite stays quiet and follows Hilda though the complex thinking about how she looks so familiar. "I know her some how... Ugh, this is annoying."
The two head into the hospital and Hilda speaks to the doctors while kite sat in a empty chair. After, Hilda then led Kite down though the halls of the hospital until they reach an empty room and they headed into it.
"Sit on the bed and look at me." She then locks the door and pulls out a little device and places it on the camera that's above the door. "Move your mouth for 10 seconds."
"What am I supposed to talk about? I don't know about anything that's going on! I mean how do you know me?"
Hilda smirked and presses a button on the remote in her hand. "There, we can speak freely, the security that watches this video feed will just see a repeat of the last 10 seconds, you talking to me and me talking to you. So......you don't know who I am? Hmm-hmm-hmm-hmm.....don't tell me you have forgotten about the Queen of Darkness?
"Queen of Darkness?.........." Kite sits there closes his eyes thinking until his eyes widen. "The laugh, queen of darkness, that all knowing personality. It can't be!" He looks up at Hilda and points up to her, "You're......you're......Helba?!"
Helba smirked and nods, "Hmm-hmm-hmm.....it is good to see you little boy. I was wondering when you were going to show up."
"Helba! Wha? How are you here?! Where are we!? Where the Hell are we?!"
"Calm down Kite, I will answer your questions, first all, I was here long before you got here. I would say, 9 years ago I arrived."
"9 years?! How!?
"Apparently, the Liminality boundary that connects this world warped all of us to different times. For example, when I arrived, I arrived about 5 year's from our date of 2010. I did a search for you, thinking you would have arrived the same time as I did, but I couldn't find you or anyone. I decided to get the story about this world and believe me...it's quite the story. However, I didn't want to cause a commotion with my origins so I decided to go to collage to finish my education and profession.
"Hacking?"
Helba couldn't help but smile. "That too, but really I was focusing on programming, neuro technology and my doctoring in health.
"Health? You're a doctor?
"Yes, you are looking at one of the head doctor of this hospital; I am in charge of the health of all the employees of NERV.
"NERV?"
"I will explain everything else later, first of all..." Helba pulls out a laptop in her bag, hooks up to the NERV network smiling at her work "Despite their advance technology, there is no computer that I can't hack." She fixed it on an outside feed showing the angel shooting blasts into the city.
Kite gasps as he recognized the Angel that he saw when he first got here. "That's the monster that I saw outside!"
"It an Angel.
Kite looks very confused at Helba and then looks to the screen "Angel? That's a Angel? I thought Angels were heavenly beings that watched over us."
"Apparently in this world, Angel is the name for the monsters in this world. They are a force to be reckoned with." "And here they are using their technology against them" "Kite, I need you to do a task."
"What is it?"
"I presume you have the Bracelet still." Helba said.
Kite raises his right arm and the bracelet glows eerily. "It here."
Helba smiles and says "I need you to use your Data Drain on the Angel."
Kite steps back defensibly and raises his arms in protest, "What?! No way! There was always a risk using the bracelet in "The World". Who knows what will happen in reality!?"
"As long as you don't overuse the bracelet you really shouldn't have to worry. It's just like the game, don't overuse the bracelet and use a normal Data Drain. You really shouldn't worry." Helba says all-knowingly.
"Sigh Helba, there is always a risk, why do you want me to do this?" Kite asked.
"Many reasons, I want to research the Angel's Core, I need to see the effects of the Bracelet in this world, but more importantly, I need to see if Aura will come to you. I haven't even seen her in this world." Helba explains.
Kite lifts his head and looks concerned, "Aura? You haven't even seen her? Anything?"
Helba simply said, "Nothing."
Kite was silent for a few moments before he said, "Why do a get the feeling you're leaving things out? sigh What do I have to do Helba?"
"I will alter the video feed in this room to make it look like you're sleeping in this room, then climb out of the window and down the tree outside the window, then head over the moving walkway and head to the elevator to the left of the walkway, take it to the top level and wait for the Angel to come in your sight and use your bracelet on the Angel. Then hurry back to the room where I will be waiting."
Kite looks at Helba a with a raised eyebrow. "You had this planed didn't you?"
Helba smirks at this. "There is no crime in being prepared."
"Well it's a great plan Helba except for one problem; I'm not in the greatest of states in doing this." Kite raises his arms, showing his arms all scratched and scuffed."
Helba takes his arms ands says, "Repth." The wounds on Kite's arms heal almost instantly.
Kite looks at his arms astonished, "We can still use magic here?"
"Yes, I didn't want to heal you all the way as that would put up suspicion, but you should be able to climb out easily now that your arms are healed.
"Alright, then...wait, what about that?" Kite points towards the camira. "I'm pretty sure they will notice."
Helba smirks, "Just leave that to me. First, lay in the bed and pretend to be asleep."
Kite heads towards the bed and gets into it. He then closes his eyes, pretending to be asleep. Helba then heads to her laptop and gets out of the view of the camera, taping some keys into it. "Stay that way for 15 seconds.
Kite lies there pretending to be asleep until Helba says, "It's done." Kite then gets up and heads to the window.
"Wait Kite, there is something you must see. Come over here." Kite heads over to and she shows another video feed which shows the Eva cages and Eva Unit-1. Kite eyes widen at the sight of the Eva. "What is that?!"
"The hope of this world, the Evangelion. A huge robot that is made to fight the angels. I wanted to show you this because if the Commander plans to use it, I wouldn't want you to attack it."
Kite looks at the screen and sees Shinji helping Rei up after she fell from her stretcher. "That's that boy that was in the car with me, who's the girl?"
"That's Rei, the First Child, she was injured in an earlier experiment and isn't able to pilot the Eva very effectively. That's Shinji, the Commander's son and the Third child to be a pilot an Evangelion. He's the new pilot." Helba replied.
Kite just seems confused, "There's so much to take in Helba....
"I will tell you everything when you get back. Now get going.
Meanwhile, as Rei was being gurney back to the hospital, she looks over to the side and she sees a Girl in White stairing at her with a smile. She goes past her the doctors not noticing her. When she is gone Rei thinks, "Who was that?"
Kite nods and heads out the window and climbs down the tree, hoping from branch to branch then landing on the ground, he heads over to the moving walkway, riding it to the end and finds the elevator that Helba described and get's in it pushing the top level button. As he rides to the top, he leans against the wall and thinks about how he got into this, "So many things are happening at once. Evangelion and Angels. Helba and my bracelet. There are so many things happening so fast. I wonder if the others are here......Aura....what happened to her? I thought I saw her but..." Kite then remembers about the bag that he has and opens it up and opens it up. Inside are a pair of daggers, potions, scrolls, and some treasure that he forgot to sell. "It's the stuff I had before I went into this world... It will sure come in handy." The elevator stops and Kite heads out to the streets of Tokyo-3.
Author notes: I am really trying not to just re-tell the series. So sorry if the focus was on Kite and Helba, it will soon shift to the others don't worry. Read and review.
