Shinji was breathing heavy, the armor vanished in a burst of light, "Too much, Why so much?" he asked before passing out. Rose shook her head, "You need to be able to fight even your friends. If you don't fight you will get killed" she said. She knew all too well that lesson; the day she got 'cursed' she learned it. She picked up the unconscious boy, "May you never have to learn that lesson the way I learned it" she said solemnly. Shinji was out cold. Dart sat in the tree, "It was a hard lesson, I had to learn it twice, you remember Lavitz? It's good to see you, last time we saw each other was when you went and blew yourself up." He said. Rose looked to the tree, "Yea, some goodbye, it hurt like hell." She said. Dart nodded, "Good to see you, how long has it been?" he asked. Rose was silent for a moment, "Over four thousand years, give or take a century." She said. Dart nodded, "How did you survive? I remember the moon blowing up, we never found a trace of you" he said. Rose frowned at the memory, "Funny thing about explosions, they either destroy or move things far away" she said. *Keep that fact in mind later* Dart nodded, He knew that from personal experience. They both talked along the way back to the Katsuragi apartment.
Touji sat in his room half asleep. Sleep was about to claim him till the phone saw fit to interrupt. "This had better be important," he grumbled. He lifted the receiver to his ear, "hello? Who is calling?" he asked. "Touji? This is Misato, you busy?" she asked. He fell to the floor, "What? Misato? What's going on?" he asked. He could hear her laugh, "Official business, get your mind out of the gutter. Touji, since Shinji doesn't fight in an Eva any more, we need a new pilot. You are the prime candidate for the job. You interested or what" she asked. Touji pinched himself, "Huh? Me pilot one of those giant killing machines? Why in the realms of hell would I pilot?" he asked. "What do you mean, you don't want to pilot?" she asked. Touji was silent, "I'll do it if you can get my sister into one of those NERV hospitals, you do that and I'll consider it." He said. Misato was silent for a moment, "We get her better care and you pilot? Sounds like a deal. Report to NERV with Shinji tomorrow, He'll get you where you need to. One last thing, Aida can't come" she said. Touji laughed, "Deal, talk to you later" he said. "OK, oh one more thing, you will be test piloting two units, unit three and unit four" she said as she hung up. He shook his head ad he hung up, 'two units? Asuka will go ballistic over this.' He thought.
"WHAT? YOU TALKED TOUJI INTO PIOLTING?" Asuka shouted. Misato was unaffected, "Yes, the new commander thought it a good Idea to get at least one pilot for the two new Eva's coming in" she said. Shinji was unaffected, "Why Touji, he hates the Eva's. He tried to take my jaw off the first time we met." He said. Misato shook her head, "He was the best candidate for piloting we had. I'm sorry," she said. Asuka sighed, "Could be worse, Could be the other stooge" she said. Shinji had to agree with that one, "Yea, he would probably dehydrate from drooling too much." He said. The whole group laughed. Misato recovered, "Shinji, you are in charge of getting him to Ritsuko for tests and his fitting." She said. He nodded.
Dart reclined slightly, "I just wish this would all go away for a day," he said. Rose rolled her eyes, "Why? You don't fight any more" she said. Dart frowned, "That was low, even for you" he said. Shinji laughed, "Michel was right, no roses are without thorns, especially you." He said. Rose glared at the rock, "You can become a rock at the bottom of an aquarium you know." She threatened. ~HA! Don't make us laugh, you can't do a thing!~ it said. Shinji continued laughing. Dart snatched the spirit up, "Children, you behave yourselves, or I will let her do it" he warned. The stone glowed red, ~I'll keep them in line, don't worry~ it said. Dart smiled, "Familiar feeling, those were the days. Hundreds of battles and twice as many memories. Fighting Fryrbrand to the black monster. Good times, I hope you have just as many Shinji." He said. Rose flinched visibly to the mention of the Black Monster, "Must you bring that up?" she asked. Dart gained an impish grin, "Only when you need to be brought down a peg" he said. Shinji paled, "Dude, I don't think that is such a good idea, she might just hurt you" he warned. Dart chuckled, "Yea, I know. She always has been a cold, violent person. Except the last time I saw her, probably the happiest time I ever saw her, until the explosion." He said. Rose glared, "Don't get all senile on us old man, just get to the point" she said. Dart laughed, "Your older than me, by about 11,448 years oh mighty warrior." *108 years times 106 moon children, something like that* He said. Rose frowned, "Don't start, I'm not in the mood for your sense of humor" she warned. Dart stopped, Shinji was confused. "Just how old are you guys?" Shinji asked. Both warriors looked at the boy, "Never ask that question" they said in unison. Shinji nodded his head slowly, "Right, got it, never ask" he said.
Touji stood before the massive monster known as Unit four, the only thing to survive the destruction of the American base. The inhuman eyes held a faint glow, "So this is what I'll be piloting tomorrow, at least it ain't purple." He said. 'Yea, I'd pissed if they painted me purple. Berserker would have nothing on me' Unit four thought. Touji shook his head, "Must be stress" he said. Unit four sweatdropped. Touji went to the next cage, Unit three was waiting. The plug was inserted, "Please God, if you can hear me please let me live through this" he prayed. Ritsuko's voice came over the intercom, "Relax, if something does go wrong, Shinji will get you out." She said. Re remembered Shinji waiting by the Eva, "You mean take me out don't you?" He said. "I wouldn't do that, you won't die," Shinji answered. Touji calmed down slightly, "Still don't like this one, Unit four seems less creepy" he said. Most people in the control room agreed, unit three was creepy. The monstrosity was starting up, the inside of the plug lit up like a Christmas tree. "Cool" he said. A moment later the entire thing went red, something was wrong and he knew it. "Shinji! Get me outta here man!" he said. Shinji watched the eyes go blood red, "That's not good. What is going on here?" he asked. Ritsuko's voice came over the intercom, "The Eva has been contaminated, Shinji get him out NOW" she said. Shinji nodded and flew for the entry plug, "Hang on man, I'll get you out." He said. Nothing but static, Touji was out like a light. Shinji weaved around the corrupt Eva's hands, "It won't let me get close enough!" he said. Three more tries, "Damn it!" he cursed. Unit three was about to make another swing until another massive hand stopped it, Unit four. Shinji was confused, "Who the hell is that?" he asked. "Nobody is at the controls, Just worry about getting Touji out" Misato said. Shinji went straight for the entry plug; he ripped the plug out with his bare hands. Kongol's strength training was paying off. The plug was out past the emergency hatch. He ripped the door clear, "Touji, come on man! Wake up so we can get outta here." He said. Touji was still unconscious, "Shit!" Shinji swore. The armor vanished and he entered the LCL. He picked up Touji and left the entry plug. Unit four grabbed the two teens and backed away from the rampaging Eva. 'Note to self, never fight a berserk Eva one on one.' The Eva thought. Shinji Transformed again, "Not much time left, better make this quick" he said. Shinji let loose a cannon blast at the core of unit three. The AT field didn't even slow the blast, the core was vaporized.
Touji woke up in the infirmary; the ceiling read 'If you are reading this, you screwed up'. "Anybody get the number of the bus that hit me?" he asked. "Well, look who woke up, you feeling ok?" Asuka asked. Touji did a double take, "Demon? What are you doing here?" he asked. "Shinji asked me to wait here while he relieved himself." She said. He nodded; it sounded possible, "What happened? All I remember is Shinji makeing a break for the entry plug and I passed out" he said. Unit four moved without a pilot and held the Angel down while Baka got you out. Apparently Unit Four likes you" she said. "It what? Damn, Why does this kind of crap have to happen?" he asked. Asuka gave a shrug, "Maybe because you're a stooge, who knows, but it will keep happening. That is one of the few guarantees you got" she said.
Ladies and gentlemen, and that term is stretched for some. Next time on dragoon Eva, It's the misadventures of Unit Four and the others! The Eva 'family' tries to have a day off, but I won't let it happen. Whose dreams should I mess with? Is the world going to come to an end or am I insane? Find out next time.
