Rose sat atop a hill overlooking Tokyo three. 'I just wish one of the others were still here. Why couldn't I go with Zeig? Why does this stupid chocker have to stay on my neck 24/7? I hate this thing. I want to stop all this.' She thought. Her mind recalled a picture with the old dragoons, Dart and the others, smiling and happy. Then the ones who came before them, she just wanted to join them. The damn choker was now stuck forever in its place, the chain unbreakable. Cursed with immortality. "Damn you Melbu, unhappy with just taking everything away but to curse me with this as well?" she asked.
Shinji sat in school listening to the teacher drone on about second impact. 'Next time, Stray blast levels the school' he promised. Asuka was glancing at Shinji, 'Shinji is more dangerous with all that power, what if he decides to destroy NERV? Will he kill all of us?' she wondered. Rei was just staring out the window not a thought in her head. The spirits were all 'sleeping'. Most of the male students were staring at the new girls in class. One had platinum blue hair and the other was a brown hair girl. Those who weren't were either too asleep to notice or afraid of their girlfriends. The girls noticed the new guys in class. One was a large kid with a Mohawk; another was a boy with long brown hair. The majority were engrossed with a young blond boy with a red head band. Asuka noticed the increase in students, 'Ok, these newbie's better not be new pilots.' She thought.
Lunch rolled around and Shinji was up on the roof. The new students sat on the roof with him. "So who are you guys?" he asked. The blond boy gave the introductions, "I'm dart, and this is Meru, kongol, Albert, Shana. You must be Shinji, the new dragoon." He said. Shinji picked up on the dragoon part, "How do you know?" he asked. Albert pointed to the spirit, we use to be just like you, and we all had spirits." He said. Shinji looked down at the iridescent stone around his neck; ~they are our former masters, along with rose~ they said. Shinji looked at them, "You know Rose?" he asked. The group looked at each other, "How you know rose?" Kongol said in broken Japanese. "I met her, is that surprising?" he asked. Meru nodded, "She should be dead, although, so should we." She said. Shinji ignored the last part, "Why should she be dead?" he asked. Shana shook her head, "She gave her life to stop the end of the world." She said. Shinji nodded. "Where is Rose now?" Kongol asked. Shinji shrugged, "Don't know, she just pops up now and again. Why are you guys here? Are you new pilots?" he asked. "Pilots? What are you talking about?" Meru asked. Shinji gave a half lidded stare, "Do you know about the angels or the Evangelions?" he asked. The ancient heroes gave a collective no. Shinji gave a heavy sigh, "The angels are massive monsters around fifty feet tall and Evangelions or Eva for short are the only defense against them, besides me" he said. The former dragoons gave a nod, that seemed to explain it to them. Albert seemed interested, "What do they look like?" he asked. Shinji paused, "Well, The angels are all different; The Eva's look almost human, other than that I can't explain. If you want a better explanation, ask our resident Military otaku Mr. Aida." He said. Albert nodded, "The kid with the glasses and his eyeballs permanently glued to the screen?" he asked. Shinji gave a nod. All but Meru and Shinji left. Shinji continued to snack on his lunch until she spoke again, "Um, are you and that red head seeing each other or are you available?" she asked. Shinji choked on a piece of rice ball, "Wha? Me and Asuka? That, that's insane!" he said. Meru smiled and left. "Something tells me that I'll regret telling her that. I don't know why but somehow, it's going to come back to get me" he said. He wouldn't have time to ponder that for long.
Class went on for another fifteen minutes until An Angel made it's appearance, "Well, I guess I can do something other than get bored out of my skull, Time to get to work" Shinji said. The spirit glowed, ~another one of those angel things, time for fun~ Michel's voice rang in his head. Shinji nodded and transformed, the window busted outward. His wings twitched, he remembered where he was, "Um, EVERYBODY CLEAR OUT! THIS IS AN EMERGENCY!" He said. The class ran for the shelters, except the former dragoons. He stared at them, "You guys get to a safe place, this is my fight not yours" he said. The group nodded, Meru gave a smile and a wink as she left. The dragoon took to the air, "Why must she look at me so longingly?" he asked as power began to crackle around him.
Gendo sat in his chair, "The boy once again fights without Unit one." He said as the visual flashed on the screen. Doctor Akagi furiously typed as Shinji's voice came over the loudspeaker, "Hey doc can you hear me?" he asked. "Loud and clear Shinji, How are you holding up?" she asked. "No problems, If I need help I'll ask. I think I can do this by myself" he said. "How much time until you can't fight like that anymore" she asked. "About 55 minutes, then I'll need backup, If it lasts that long." He said. A timer came up on screen a second later. "Who provided him with a audio up link?" Gendo asked. The good doctor seemed to shrink in her seat, "I did sir" he answered. Gendo glared at the screen, "You will retrieve it after the battle" he ordered.
Shinji Flew up into the air, "No more fooling around," he said. His shoulder pads opened up, Power crackled around the openings. "Bye Bye" he said. Blasts flew through the air, a stray blast went straight for the school. 'Excellent. No more damn lecture!' he thought. The angel and the school was vaporized, "Oops, my bad" he said. Doctor Akagi's voice came over the head set, "Was that an accident or on purpose?" he asked. "I won't answer that on the grounds I'll get my but kicked by the class rep" he said. He could hear laughter on the other end of the line.
Meru sat looking at a computer screen, "So this is the one that Shinji pilots?" she asked. Her finger pointed to the blue mech. Touji shook his head, "Nah, That is the one that Rei uses, Shin-man pilots the purple one" he said. Meru looked at the footage of the twelfth Angel, "Why purple? Blue is a better color" she said. Touji nodded, "I agree, but he has no say on the color" he said.
Next time on Dragoon Eva, Rei and Yui have a talk. Shinji finds out about everything. Goodbye Gendo!
