Merging of Souls and Swords Ch.6
The Dance
The day before the dance was hell in other words. Boys and girls eyeing each other was a rather disturbing sight. Shinji didn't care he was now able to think clearly. Nothing to worry about no Eva no Nerv and especially no father. He was kind of happy he punched his father in the face. He didn't know why but he was glad he did it. It felt like a huge burden had been taken off his shoulders. He was obviously sleeping in class. The day was not really exciting for him or adventures and him and Link got into a rather weird fight. Still they were going to get something weird at the dance.
SEELE Meeting Room
(Ok I am to lazy to write SEELE 1 and all that other crap so just referring to them as numbers and Gendo as G.) Hehehe
G. "The third child has gone through a rather disturbing side effect of the angel's attack."
1:Ikari your child is of no concern to us. We have to advance the plan and we are making the Eva series 5 through 13.
G: I think that the change in the third child does pose great concern to the entire project. He has returned from Sea of Dirac with several changes. Eva unit 1 is genetically different too. Further more the third child knows more then you think. I would say that he knows the language of the Dead Sea Scrolls.
5: That's impossible only the select few within this chamber can understand the language. We are the ones that taught you Ikari or did you teach him the language.
G: No and I have proof.
G pulled out a remote and replayed the surveillance tapes of 2 certain incidents within the last couple of days. It replayed with clear sound and video. Everyone heard the language Shinji was speaking and they understood it. No one taught this one. He spoke it more fluently then Keel himself. Then the next seen destroyed the thoughts that they had of Gendo back stabbing them. They saw the blood trickle from his nose. And now they looked at the great detail of the nose. It was covered by something but in the dark room it was almost impossible to see. They heard what Shinji had said. At the end everyone said the same thing.
"Interesting. He might pose a threat. We will meet on this subject on another date."
Misato's Apartment.
Misato was getting ready to drive everyone to the party. She had taken out an old costume it was her in a very revealing pink under wear. She wore bunny ears and pink stockings. Rei had arrived and changed into her dress. Shinji dyed his hair and got his armor on. Asuka was fumbling with the metal helmet. She wanted to look her best for Kaji. Kaji meanwhile was just trying to hit on Misato he hadn't seen the new Shinji yet. Ritsuko was going to bust out laughing when she thought about how he would react to the new Shinji. Shinji would be about just as tall as Kaji.
"Hurry up." Misato hollered trying to avoid the unshaven man. He just wore his usual clothes. Ritsuko was in her lab coat she was going to see how different Shinji acted socially.
"Ok Kaji!" Asuka yelled jumping at Kaji and falling into his arms. Kaji obviously in distress.
"Come on Shinji hurry up we are leaving." Misato was putting on her shoes when Shinji stepped out. Misato still couldn't get over about how he looked. And it seemed none of the other females could either. His hair was dyed blue and held up. His muscles outlined by armor. The cape that flapped in the wind and as he walked. The look of leather on him. Ritsuko was drooling and so was Misato but she had already seen it so she hurried up.
"Ok o hey Kaji." Shinji walked past Kaji and followed Misato to the car.
"Who was that?" Kaji looked at Asuka and Ritsuko. Rei had left following Shinji. The difference was amazing Kaji had to try to block the image of Rei in his mind. It was kind of weird for her to be in something other then a school uniform.
"That was Shinji." Ritsuko was waiting for his reaction.
"No way I mean I heard that he changed after the angel but hell he can't fucking grow 5 inches that fast." Kaji still trying to detangle himself from the Valkyrie.
"Well he did so lets go." Ritsuko left and Kaji tried to follow being weighed down with some extra weight.
When they arrived the party was already in action. Shinji opened the door for everyone and they stepped in. Inside there were flashing lights and a variety of costumes. Boys dressed as punks, monsters, vampires, and a lot more. Girls dressed in ballroom dresses, swimsuits, and some really weird ones. Everyone drew in a breath on the oncoming Eva pilots.
The some boys saw Rei come in and they fell over from shock. She was dazzling. Her eyes weren't emptying like usual. It seemed like they were on the verge of crying of happiness. And that soft blush against her pale skin really kicked it off. They also saw how developed she was. The boys hated the way that the uniforms covered most of the figures of the girls. Then came Misato causing some gasps and nosebleeds. Silence for Ritsuko and a shudder of fear for Asuka Kaji walked in without being noticed. Shinji didn't follow till everyone was inside.
Change of perspective to the adolescent teenagers.
Once they saw the females come in the boys stopped and went back to dancing with the music. Most of the girls were still staring at the open door. If Rei and Asuka showed up then Shinji was soon to follow. Just then Hikari got up on stage and was going to start the opening slow song when the lights burst to draw everyone's attention something went horrible wrong.
"O MY GOD GET OUT OF THE WAY!" One of the techs for the lights and stage work for the dance yelled. The firework shot out of the rocket and Hikari slipped of stage. The flaming ball flew past the screaming people. It was headed straight for the DJ who had not heard the screams so he just kept on mixing the music.
Shinji stepped in just at the right moment. He entered when he heard the yell. He saw where it was directed and he ran towards the DJ. If the DJ's controls lit on fire then some people would get hurt. The fireworks were clomped together it was like a huge bottle rocket that lasted longer. It was about to hit the speaker when it blew up everyone shrieked assuming that it hit the speaker. Then after about 1 millisecond everyone opened his or her eyes. Right in front of the DJ was Shinji in his costume with his sword drawn. Around him were sparks and flares illuminating the relatively dark room. Everyone gasped some just stared. Shinji then spun the sword in his hand and put it back on his back. He walked to get some punch at the stand. The DJ didn't notice anything he was really into music and he had to get paid so he did his best job.
"Shinji is that you?!" Kensuke was dressed in his army uniform and had his camera out he saw the whole thing and caught it on tape. He rewound it to see that it was Shinji. It occurred like this. The flying ball was on a direct path then a blurred figure stepped in front of the DJ and drew a metal sword and sliced at the oncoming ball of flame. It blew up in light. The now visible figure spun the sword handle and attached it to his back. He turned causing his cape to fly up and he walked toward the table with his cape wavering in the wind.
"Hey Kensuke what's up?" Shinji asked he really didn't pay attention some people were still staring at him. Now that they knew it was Shinji some of the girls just stared at his costume. (You know.) He did look handsome almost like a prince.
"Shinji wow that's a cool costume. So you seen Touji?" Kensuke wondered where their jock friend was. Shinji pointed to the stage where Hikari had fallen over. Touji ran over and caught her in his arms. She was dressed in a costume that has several metal spatulas and one big one attached to her back. He had no idea where it was from but he was drinking some punch so he didn't care. It looked like the kind-of-out-of-place couple was doing well. Hikari and Touji hadn't moved Touji was on his knee and Hikari was leaning on his chest. They both were completely red.
"Well now I got to get this on tape." Kensuke had set up a little post to record the dance. Probably a cover because he wouldn't get a dance still he was going to get dirt on everyone.
"WOW HOLY FUCK DID SHINJI DO THAT?!" Kaji screamed just audibly over the music at Misato.
"YEP HE HAS BEEN DOING STUFF LIKE THAT LATELY!" Misato replied. Misato kind of had a funny thought. She saw how about the entire female part of the class looked at Shinji. Also how Rei looked at him she was going to get them all really pissed. And maybe make Rei get some guts to ask Shinji also probably drive Asuka crazy. Also to get Kaji jealous non the less. She had to just wait for the right moment.
Shinji was talking no embarrassing Touji with Kensuke when he got a cold shiver down his spine. He had no idea where it was coming from. Then it hit him the music stopped and started to play softer and slower. Then the DJ said bone chilly words especially fresh in Link's mind.
"Now its time for the slow dance." The DJ said softly and boys started to ask girls. This is what Misato was waiting for. She saw most of the girl's head towards Shinji to ask she walked fast. Even though she was in her high heels and tight, revealing, and small make shift bunny suit.
"Shinji come on I will teach you how to dance so you don't embarrass yourself." Misato grabbed Shinji right before a girl was going to ask him. The girl was in a bikini and was quite developed. It was Lina she was pissed yet discouraged at the site of a women as underdressed as her.
Shinji was being dragged and couldn't put things together. He just knew that both Kensuke and Touji went silent and gave low growls then he was moving farther away from them. He was then turned around and facing his guardian who he was now 1 inch taller then. She put her hands on his shoulders and started a slow dance. Link butted in he had been to plenty of balls at the castle thanks to Zelda and he had to set this right. Outside Shinji's body moved Misato's hands. One on his shoulder and another rested against his hand. He then closed the gap between their bodies till it was almost less then a centimeter. He then initiated a slow a little awkward dance for Misato but it looked quite different if you were watching them. Their bodies were close and the dance started. It looked like pure elegance from the male lead but the women was fumbling a little. Then Misato just copied Shinji. It looked right now their steps in tune and bodies close. Faces close and the intimate feeling radiating off of them if you were close to the dancing couple.
"I didn't know you could dance?" Misato said surprised that he could dance this well.
"You never asked." Shinji/Link still floating through memories of dancing in the grand ballroom with Zelda and laughing with friends.
The girls were obviously pissed. Come on she is more then twice his age let us have a go was what was running through their minds. Asuka took this fact a little hard but only to let out a sad sigh before she realized something. Kaji alone no Misato Asuka then grabbed Kaji and dragged him to dance. Rei had a visible twitch in her eye at the sight of Misato. She then thought of something and stepped closer to them.
"May I dance with Ikari?" Rei asked standing next to Shinji.
"Why yes Rei." Misato has accomplished one of her goals and was now going to make sure no one spiked the punch.
Meanwhile Shinji was dancing with Rei in this same fashion just a little faster to go with the music. Then it seemed like they were getting closer and closer to each other. Then Link dipped Rei and held her in his arms. She was obviously blushing. He then continued and lifted her back up and started the dance again. It looked very romantic and some of the girls were blushing thinking of the scene. A prince and a princess is what they looked like. They were both putting a kind off warm into the dance. Everyone around them tried to copy but they ended up on the floor. (Lets just say that eventually the dance branches off to something like FF8 dance Squall and Rinoa scene for those who need a description except it a lot slower.) Shinji's cape flapped to the steppes and twirls. It was graceful and elegant. Rei got tired and bowed to Shinji and left. Then it became hell. Shinji was going to sit down when several girls literally grabbed him and took him to the dance floor and one asked to prolong the slow dance. He got really tired.
Kensuke videotaped the whole thing also getting good shoots of Touji and Hikari. Touji was doing horribly he was tripping and stepping on Hikari's feet it looked pitiful. Then a miracle came for Touji and Shinji. Shinji spotted his friend and ran over.
"Touji here I will instruct you. I need help though." Shinji said. Some girls jumped to attention.
"I will show you who's a real dancer hah beat me." Asuka said she watched Shinji he was good but she thought she could do better.
"Fine just come over here." Asuka reluctantly let go of Kaji while he sighed he to was granted a miracle. Misato wasn't to far off either.
"OK look Touji look at how I put my arms and where. Ok that's good now copy these simple steps." Shinji put his hands on the correct ballroom dance parts but Asuka was about to yell hentai when he started to move. He was moving completely correct and still talking it through with Touji. Touji started to get the hang of it with Hikari's help. So they were set and Asuka was going to show off that she could squash Shinji.
Hey I got a bad feeling Asuka is going to pull something so watch out Shinji. Link stated as a fact.
Yep I already know she is starting. Shinji said back.
Asuka started picking up the pace. Subconsciously Shinji was keeping up he was hardly paying attention. All of a sudden Asuka was about to break off and start twirling but was flung back Shinji converted the dance into a very weird one. Playing a little song in his head he moved really fast and Asuka was having a lot of trouble keeping up. She was going to fall over when she got picked up by Shinji. Shinji recovered and continued he was going to go a little fast. He started picking up the pace with a fumbling Asuka and didn't stop. He was remembering every step from his heart. He did everything perfectly. He remembered how hard this dance was its first time but now it was almost natural. Once he was done everyone just stared. Asuka collapsed a while ago while Shinji just continued. He then felt a sudden jolt of energy coming from outside.
Shinji walked up to Misato and spoke a few words," Misato get Rei and Asuka to NERV NOW." Shinji felt a sudden burst of energy coming from the outskirts of town.
"What why Shinji." Just as she finished the sentence the sirens went off. An angel was close. Everyone started yelling and running. Misato grabbed Rei and Asuka and almost Shinji but then she remembered he was suspended from Eva. Shinji walked out not even following the other students into the shelter near school. He walked to a mountaintop to watch. If he was going to die he was going to do it while watching the bloody battle.
Shinji sat down and on the green mountaintop he was still in his costume he was getting ready for the onslaught he was also talking to Link.
Link what happens if we die?
Shinji I truly do not know but it is said that the people with the strongest souls go to the Sacred Realm. Still this is sometimes a myth. If we die I would rather go out fighting then just sitting. Link was not totally sure. They watched as the building lowered into the Geofront. He saw the giant explosion revealing the Angel. (You know the one with razor arms. Aka Zeruel) it was floating towards them. All of a sudden Eva unit 2 popped out of the ground with a whole arsenal it started firing wildly at it.
"Come on tell me I am at least neutralizing the AT field." Asuka yelled before her arms cut off and a blood-curdling scream emitted from the blood red Evangelion. Shinji was almost white. This wasn't right. Then her head got cut off luckily they cut the connection so she didn't break her neck.
"What Rei what are you doing." Shinji spoke softly as he saw the Eva on last resort carry out a N2 mine. Shinji was starting to lose his Link features at the moment. He was feeling complete sadness. Everyone was going to die. He was crying on the ground. He couldn't do anything. Link spoke up he was diminishing due to the state Shinji was in.
Shinji do you truly believe you can do nothing. Link felt like he was worthless from his connection with Shinji. Shinji was very fragile yet strong in a way. He was a very complicated human.
Yes I am worthless I can't even pilot Eva and everyone is going to die.
Shinji you are only worthless when you give up you must try and try. And when you give up is when you have a sword through your heart forcing you to be worthless. Shinji reach out unlock the door. The door that binds your heart and mind. Reach out then you will see what you are worth. Try Shinji Try. Link was not sure what else to do. He felt a push on his soul. He started to join in the force.
Within Nerv
"WHERE IS THE THIRD CHILD?" Gendo yelled it wasn't time to cause third impact ye. No not yet the plans weren't in order.
"He isn't in any of the shelters." Maya said in a soft voice she was franticly searching but drew blanks. Everyone was about to cry when she noticed something on her screen. It just popped up and a new wave of sirens commenced.
"SIR ANOTHER BLUE PATTERN HAS BEEN DETECTED. SIR ITS NOT FROM THE ANGEL IT SOMEWHERE ELSE IN THE GEOFRONT." Maya screamed to make sure everyone noticed. The angel stopped it walk to Nerv. IT felt it to. Then angel pinpointed the source to a mountain with a glowing white figure. It was Shinji and Link they unlocked the door to their hearts. They sprouted wings to fly with power and might.
"EVANGELION UNIT ONE HAS ACTIVATED. THE EVANGELION HAS BROKEN FREE OF ITS RESTRAINTS." Eva unit 1 started to twitch then it swung its arm out of the crystal restraints. IT then ran to the launch pad and jumped. While outside the small white figure was being approached by the angel. Everyone was gasping what was happening.
"THE EVA ONLY HAS 3 MINUTES OF POWER!" Just then the angel flung its razor arms at Shinji. Then the arms were caught. Out of the ground came Eva unit 1. The face in rage and anger.
"The blue pattern is growing it is approaching the Eva." The white figure floated over to Eva 1. It jumped into the plug and was ready to pilot. Then the battle continued. The computers read a sync ratio within the Evangelion it was repeatedly raising. The blue pattern was blocking out all visual entities of the plug. Still somehow everyone suspected it was Shinji.
Eva drew its sword and shield. The angel flung its arms at the enemy. Shinji blocked them with his sword. He charged and rammed the angel. It flew far and hit the wall of the Geo front. Shinji charged it again and again flinging it around the Geofront. He was enjoying the rush of adrenaline and power. Darkness then enveloped the plug. The Eva stopped its dash at the angel. It was standing on one foot with sword in hand. Then the angel obviously noticing this flung its arms out at the Eva. It tipped over chest bleeding. The face was twisting in agony still it couldn't move. It ripped off the chest armor and started to hit the plug. Over and over.
While within the plug Shinji was pushing the controls harder and harder. He couldn't stop he had to win. If he lost then so would man kind. Then he felt that familiar tugging on his soul and he released his full potential into the evangelion. Just as the angel was going to deliver the final blow the Eva roared back to life. It threw an upper cut at the angel in the face and round housed kicked till it flew a couple miles away.
"The Evangelion has reactived." Maya yelled but everyone was a little annoyed they watched the whole thing. The Eva proceeded to somehow pull at its restraints. The restrains fell off. First it took off the head restrain that looked like a helmet. It revealed something they hadn't seen before. Hair purple hair. Then it took of its leg armor and lifted its sword. It revealed a relatively buff evangelion. AS the muscles flexed Shinji charged. He then came in contact with a flaming cross. Then it happened again and again. He caught it square in the chest several times. He then swung his sword and hit the next one. The energy emitted from the cross ricochets off of the blade and flung itself back at the angel. Shinji took notice and jumped into the air with the sword plunging down with his body weight he landed on the angel. He then sunk the sword in deep then continued to kick the angel in the head. While the angel was retaliating or trying to its eyes grew red. Shinji then turned the sword in the ground causing the angel to scream while blood poured out of the wound. He then stepped on the head of the Angel and dug the sword as deep as it could go into the core. It stopped moving. Then the evangelion looked directly at a Nerv central. Its eyes weren't on color they had a pupil and the rest of the eye. It then turned around and leaned the sword on its shoulder. It then went silent.
(Literarily I think that these are getting worse one by one. Also I need more ideas. Sorry for the delay but I got school and stuff. Email me I need ideas and comments for the new ones. Plus I think I am going to rewrite this one. Man I think this one sucks.)
