The virage now faced the combined force of two EVAs and one dragoon; needless to say he was not in the best of situations. Rei was armed with a massive assault rifle while Asuka had a prog knife. Shinji, he was a weapon. {Why is it that I never get a break? First the moon that never sets goes boom and now I face this! That is it, I am going on strike!} The virage said. Rei began to shower the creature with bullets as Asuka charged in with Shinji right beside her. Asuka's knife cut deep in the right arm of the beast. Green blood began to flow from the gash. The dragoon made a cut through the right eye as bullets buzzed by him. The virage fell to the ground in a bloody heap. Shinji's time ran out and he returned to his regular form and began to plummet ten stories. Unit 00 caught his limp form before he could make a nice splat on the ground.
Our hero awoke in a familiar room, much to his displeasure. "They should put up a sign that says 'If you are reading this, you screwed up big time' or something," he said. His comment was greeted by a small chuckle, "Just be glad that you get to be in a clean room when you get smacked around. We always had to use blankets on the ground. Course that was along time ago," Rose said. Shinji groaned, "Gee, your all heart! Come here to rub it in?" he asked. Rose shook her head, "You did a lot better than I thought you would. Better than a lot of others," She said. Asuka came in before he could respond, "Stupid Shinji! Going off and fighting like that! You could have been killed easily and that would leave me and wonder girl to fight. What were you thinking?!" She screamed. Shinji groaned, he had a headache the size of Tokyo, and here was Asuka, yelling in his ear. "Please, no yelling. It hurts very much badly," he said. Asuka quieted down a little, "Sorry for that but you had us worried for a moment. I mean how you go and fight liked that?" she asked. Shinji smiled at this, she was being civil.
"Well Asuka, what did you think of me out there?"
"You were insane, reckless, and totally irrational,"
"Yea, I had a blast."
"Baka, if you die, who will stop Misato from cooking or anything at home?"
"Pen-pen?"
"Try again,"
"Uh, you?"
"No one you idiot!"
"Not so loud, it hurts"
"Yes, I quite agree, I heard you down the hall miss Soryu." A voice said. Everyone turned to see Gendo in the doorway, "Commander, to what do I owe the displeasure of your visit?" Shinji asked calmly. Asuka paled, 'Shinji got a lot of backbone to talk to his father like that' she thought. ~All hail Lord Iron Ball!~ the spirit added but he went unnoticed. "What was that? I don't think I heard you right." The commander said. Rose smiled, 'Kid has style.' She thought. "You heard right, or do you need a hearing aide?" the dragoon said. Gendo's eyes narrowed, "We shall speak later about your disrespect as well as your new choice of fighting the enemy. You will be in my office tomorrow at noon, understood?" He ordered. Shinji nodded as the commander left. Rose suppressed a small laugh, "Very nice, there is still hope for you yet" she said. Asuka finally noticed Rose, "Who are you?" she asked. Rose gave her a passing glance, "That is none of your concern." Rose said. Asuka fumed, no one ignored her and got away with it (except kaji). "Shinji, do you know this. person?" Asuka asked. Shinji nodded, "She is going to teach me how to use this," he said as he held the spirit. Asuka gave a confused look, 'How is she going to do that? I don't trust her'
The next day at 12:15, Shinji walked into Gendo's office. "Your late pilot. I told you to be here fifteen minutes ago." The commander said. Shinji just gave a shrug, "Oh well, just be glad I showed up at all. You think I like this cave you call an office?" the boy said. Gendo just went into 'evil rat bastard stare #4', "Your blatant insubordination is duly noted. Now, what is going on, how did you defeat the angel in one blow, and why should I not have you thrown in the brig?" Gendo asked. Shinji gave a sigh then took a deep breath, "I have found an ancient power that you can't use. I used said power to blow a hole the size of a mini bus in the core. You can't stop me from leaving or anything else. Any other issues or can I go now?" Shinji asked. Gendo frowned; he did not like the attitude of his son. The commander stood, "Listen son, Do you realize how vital that the only pilot unit one will work with remain alive? Your new powers are a major variable in the plans. You will refrain from using them." He said. Shinji gave a half lidded stare, "Were you paying attention yesterday? If I can stop an angel without EVA, what makes you think you can force me to do anything?" Shinji asked. Gendo smiled slightly, "The fact you can't keep it up. The fact that no matter how much of a backbone you develop, you still are easy to manipulate," he said. Shinji leveled a glare that dropped the temperature of the room, "And what makes you think I won't stop you?" Shinji said. "You refuse to take human life" the commander said. Shinji had a glint his eye, "You're not human. You ceased to be human when you left me all those years ago. I think I will finally be happy when you are finally out of my life for good, one way or another," Shinji said as his spirit glowed with power. Gendo visibly flinched at the comment; he knew Shinji hated him to some degree but not that much. Shinji's leer grew darker, "Are you done or do we just stand and stare at each other more?" he asked. "You may leave." The commander said. Shinji left with a slam of the door.
