Merging of Souls and Swords Ch.7
Within Evangelion Unit 01
"What's going on? Where am I? I feel strange? Alone? Where is Link?" Shinji's mind raced through everything. Right now he was in nothing but darkness. Alone and he felt cold no one to help him. He just sat there not crying or moving just thinking. He was depressed and scared at the moment but he was very good at hiding it.
While Shinji contemplated his thoughts Link was already watching with someone else next to him.
"Didn't know you came with me. I thought I got rid of you back in Termina. So let me get this straight. The goddesses sent all of us here correct. And they intended for you to be here to. But they didn't tell me aw great." Link ranted on. He knew he was in the Evangelions core and mind. Still it was up to Shinji to get him out. Next to him was a tall figure dressed in white and black armor. He had long white hair and green markings on his face. He looked like the older version of Link. He was the Fierce Deity.
"Yes they intended for me to be here. Still it is disturbing that I was not chosen to be the guide for the child. I am stuck in this huge thing with his mother's soul fighting to take over. It is a strange feeling." A low voice rang out. It was true he was one of the strongest beings in the universe. Still he was sealed in a mask, which sucked by his means, until Link had found him. Since he first wore the mask the Fierce Deity's soul had awakened. Now the reason for the change in features of the evangelion was the initial entrance of the soul of the Fierce Deity. He truly could beat the crap and all out kill Link at the moment but since Link had released him he had bonded with Link. The reason why he looked like the older version of Link was that he truly had no set features. He was a demigod. Like these machine's they called Evangelions. So when he bonded with Link he received his features and a base of his soul. Thus since he was almost as old as this world he could draw the conclusion that he was bonded to Link and now Link was bonded to Shinji. He was still mentally strong enough to influence them without being in the body. The body or vessel could hardly hold two soles on the verge of being demigods. Still he couldn't tell any of his knowledge to Link or Shinji. He always thought that the best way to learn is to learn from experience.
"So let me get this straight you are stuck in the Evangelion because the body can't hold three souls. Well what happens if I merge with Shinji. You are mentally bounded to me. So does that mean that all three of us will become one?" Link asked in a confused voice. He knew of the great power of this Deity. He still held his dual sword in one hand. They at the moment were watching the decision of the last savior of the world. The Fierce Deity didn't want to reveal anything to Link. He knew that everything rested on this child's heart and mind. Him and Link have already decided their paths and were 2 of the three heroes' of this Domain. The last was the one that was facing his trial. F.D watched from a chair he had created. At the moment he could feel the boys mother trying to reach him and make contact. He knew that if she did there would be no more hope for mankind. He had to make a decision and F.D blocked his mother's influence from reaching him. He could tell she was getting ticked. He also didn't reveal that he had the Triforce of power with in him. He had received it again when his soul was reawakened.
F.D was the first savior of the domain/earth. He had to venture throughout the whole land to secure a safe place for the Tri force within him. He could die if he didn't focus and kept a pure heart and soul. He had traveled across the newborn world receiving the evil gifts of the creatures seeking him out. He battled his way through and into the sacred realm. He created the door of time and with his soul he secured the Sacred Realm he became the bearer of the Tri force of power. Not because of the goddesses but because he was truly worthy. That was why he had the armor and sword. But with all his power there was risk. The goddesses confronted him and told him that all the power he bared could destroy the world. So he agreed for them to lie his soul in dormant. But he couldn't be kept in a body or held so they had to make an object for him to transfer into. Hence the mask but with the dormant of his soul the missing piece of the tri force returned and the Sacred Realm was a open area. (Well that's a short history of what he did.)
So the reason why Link had defeated Majora was that he had two thirds of the almighty tri force on his side. Also he knew that the last hero of the domain would receive the last piece. Not even the goddesses knew for sure what this knew threat was but he had an idea of it. Since he had fought them he had contemplated what was going on. Well now was the moment of truth. Him and Link sitting on thrones though it was dark only the Fierce Deity knew they were thrones. Link just sat down and watched the trial-taking place. He was sitting in a chair marked Courage. They were in the same chair formation as the goddess's chamber.
They watched all of Shinji's thoughts and memories fly through his mind. They read his thoughts and agony. Both F.D and Link knew that their trails were nothing compared to this. Theirs were when they started stable and balanced. Having to have little mental strength but very physical ability and a pure soul. Shinji on the other hand was living through hell. Over and over he didn't even know that if he gave in humankind would die. His was a mental hell though it was short. Neither of the veteran saviors could even think of it. It was terrible thought their quests and trials were long this one was living through hell then going back. It would have to be shorter.
Shinji just thought. He was going over his life, which in words was shitty. His horrible childhood memories awakened and forced into his face. Repeating every horrible memory with more intense details every time. Truly any human would break after just a few seconds of this. But Shinji had been holding out for 28 days so far. 28 days of actual hell and he was still stable and sane. He was truly the strongest out of all three. He sat there mentally and physically drained. He was contemplating what it would be like if he died. He just sat in the dark. Then he started to think of all the things that depended on him. He never realized how many people depended on him.
"I can't die. So many people would suffer. People don't deserve to suffer. Everyone deserves a chance. Its better that I suffer." Shinji slowly thought in his mind.
"I wonder would anybody cry for me. Does anyone care? Since no one cares its better for me to die. As long as people don't cry I am happy. No one cares for me so I will die in someone's place. I will live to die that is what will happen." Shinji mentally was a child now. Hell so would you if you had to live through his past for 30 days and it starts over every hour. Still the image of Shinji started to stand in the darkness. He stood slowly from his knees then to a standing position.
" I will protect. I can help. I will not run away. I cannot run away. This is my destiny." Shinji was standing up and lifting his head. Slowly the darkness lifted. Shinji truly had earned to live his heart was lighting the evangelion. Slowly but surely he was becoming healthier. His mind restored he found himself in front of two figures.
"Shinji Ikari you have successfully lived through your trail. You are a hero for this domain. You know the consequences and that there is no glory. You truly have a pure mind and heart. I the first savior of the domain give you a seat." The Fierce Deity stepped aside. Now that Shinji was literally lighting the room you could see the beauty and elegance of the thrones. Completely gold and glowing with an eerie light each throne had its own letters on it. Courage, Power, Wisdom the chairs read. In the chair marked Courage the letters were in jade and the chair had gems and diamonds each chair looked the same but they had different letters.
"Shinji Ikari you will return to the world as soon as you sit down in the throne. You still have much to do in the other world. Don't worry your friend is going with you and I will watch you from here. You are safe." F.D said he turned and pointed to the chair. Shinji slowly walked to the throne then sat down.
Outside the Evangelion
"What is science if it can't even save one single measly life?" Misato cried into the empty plug suit. It had been a horrible and terrifying month without Shinji. Now he was gone in her mind. Lost forever.
As she cried a slow light grew brighter in the Evangelions core. At first it wasn't even noticeably but it grew brighter and clearer. It was light blue. Slowly the light totally lit the core and then a figure stepped out. Misato didn't notice between her sobs she just sat there in the LCL and sobbed. Then she felt a hand on her shoulder.
"Misato don't cry." Shinji said. He got a shocked look from Misato and then he collapsed. He was tired and needed sleep. He just fell over exhausted. Misato bear hugged him like her life depended on it.
Shinji Ikari was delivered to the infirmary later that day.
