Two glowing eyes shone through the flames of hell. A being that had
been brooding in the flames of eternal torment. Melbu called out to any
soul that would come to him. One soul had caught his attention, "You
mortal, who are you?"
The person turned, and then took a step back, "I am Gendo Ikari,"
Melbu frowned, "You, I can smell dragoon power on you,"
Gendo growled, "That damn boy sealed me in here!"
Melbu smiled, "Then perhaps, we can work together and have our revenge,"
"Indeed," Gendo said.
Snow was falling in Tokyo-3. Shinji walked down the road with Meru. It had been six months since his battle with Lloyd. The Evas had been dismantled and there souls weren't there when Shinji came to free them. All he found was four spirit stones. He frowned, as he walked down the street. His worries were confirmed when he gave Rei one of them. It lit up brighter than a Christmas tree. Meru looked up and saw the frown, "Cheer up Shinji, it is almost Christmas!"
Shinji smiled and pulled her closer, "Yea, I guess your right. It is just when I handed Rei that stone from unit 00, it lit up like the spirit,"
Meru nodded, "Look at it this way, you won't be alone when it comes time for some massive battle," Shinji didn't like the sound of that. He didn't want some massive battle to determine the fate of the world. He stopped in front a store, the same store that he got the spirit from. "Wonder what little treasure I'll find this time,"
Meru looked confused until Shinji explained. She giggled and followed him in. He brushed himself off and kicked the snow off his boots before he entered. The owner turned and smiled, "Hey kid, welcome back. How life been treating you?"
Shinji smiled, "Better, you?"
"Can't complain. Business has picked up since the Angels stopped coming,"
Shinji smiled at that, he liked hearing people were doing better since the angels were stopped. He looked around the store, antiques of all shapes and sizes were on display. Meru was over looking at a guitar on the wall. He saw a locket in a glass case. It was silver and had a sea dragon carved on it. He called Magnus over, "That locket, how much?"
Magnus smiled, "For you, six fifty. Don't worry, nothing fancy about this one. Unlike the box you bought, this doesn't hold any story,"
Shinji quickly bought the locket and put it in his pocket. He went over to Meru to see what was so special about the guitar on the wall. It was a black and red Gibson special edition. It had the name of all the Wild Stallions, Shinji's favorite band. He almost drooled, "That is a treasure. The spirit warmed slightly, 'Hell yea' The Dragons piped in.
Meru smiled, 'If I get that for Shinji, he would have a heart attack! He loves that band. If only I could get it,' She looked at the price, 'I have just enough, I'll come back tomorrow!'
She left the zoned out hero and spoke with Magnus, "I want to buy that Gibson on the wall, but I need to get the money from home. Can you hold it for me please?" she pleaded softly.
Magnus smiled, "Normally, no. but for you, I'll make an exception this once. Be here tomorrow at 10 o'clock. Deal?"
Meru nodded and shook his hand. She grabbed her zoned out boyfriend and dragged him outside. The sudden cold snapped him out of his revere and he looked around. He noticed he was again outside and being dragged by Meru. She had a mischievous twinkle in her eye, he shuttered slightly. He pried his arm free and snaked it around her waist. She leaned on him as they walked onward.
The Next day, Meru was at the store at ten like she said. Magnus walked up and unlocked the door. He chuckled slightly, "Wasn't expecting you for another ten minutes or so. Come on, let's get you that Guitar,"
Meru was grinning from ear to ear when the Magnus set the signed Guitar into its case. She paid for it and began to walk out when Magnus stopped her, "You take care of him, that boy deserves the best. You're probably the first person I've seen to make him smile the way he did,"
She blinked twice and nodded, "No worries there, He'll flip when he gets this tomorrow. Hiding it will be the hard part,"
He laughed as she walked out. He knew she would do what he asked, it was the reason he brought them back. He smiled, "Kami, you're a sly devil," he said as he teleported away.
Dart and the others sat in the living room of their big house on the outskirts of Tokyo-3. The house was never empty; The Dragoons were settled in their new lives. Misato and Kaji had their own room. The Eva pilots had their own little wing. They were all a big extended family. Yui was the mom, even Misato called her that from time to time. Meru poked her head in the door, "Coast clear?"
Dart nodded, "Shinji, is fighting off Asuka in Mortal Kombat, go quickly!"
Meru Ran through the hall to her room. He gently placed her present in the closet and closed the door. No one ever looked in her closet. Dart did one time and got a hammer to the head for his trouble. She turned around to find Rei, "Sup Rei, something wrong?"
"What did you put in the closet?"
Meru whispered in Rei's ear about the present. Rei nodded and said she wouldn't tell. Both walked to find Rose passed out on the couch. In front of her was an almost empty glass of egg nog. Yui was watching It's a Wonderful Life. Shinji had escaped Asuka's video game torture. Little did any of them suspect that something wicked their way comes.
The person turned, and then took a step back, "I am Gendo Ikari,"
Melbu frowned, "You, I can smell dragoon power on you,"
Gendo growled, "That damn boy sealed me in here!"
